[00:12] Seven_Six_Two: no problem === Guest91150 is now known as piero [00:12] laptop_user: I am :) [00:12] Seven_Six_Two: i have the problem [00:13] worn out topic inc "Using ubuntu as a server" go go [00:13] Seven_Six_Two: i copied 7 files on the stick today [00:13] Seven_Six_Two: each file was 11 GB big [00:13] what can i do when synaptic hangs while unpacking apps? [00:13] I solved my problem with cracking sound after I set up "Linux" as "Operating System" in my laptop bios :\ [00:13] Seven_Six_Two: Fat32 cannot work with so large files [00:14] I have no idea what it should change behind the hood [00:14] laptop_user: What is your issue? [00:14] Seven_Six_Two: therefore, i couldnt read the stick an the laptop [00:14] laptop_user: I'll be back in a moment to read / help [00:14] Seven_Six_Two: i formatted the stick again [00:15] edbain, this is what happened, everything was fine and dandy this a.m. i shut the laptop down so that i could pack it for school. got to school, and ubuntu wouldnt boot up. for some reason, it hangs at plymouth. the last installations include cheese and skype. nvidia graphic, with propriatary drivers.. and the script to fix plymouth [00:15] Seven_Six_Two: and copied severel files which are smaller than 4GB [00:15] Who has mouse acceleration turned off in Ubuntu? [00:15] Seven_Six_Two: now it work again [00:15] kelbek, formatted from ubuntu? as fat32 again? Well, that's good! [00:16] Seven_Six_Two: unfornutelly, i can just formatt as FAT32 [00:16] Seven_Six_Two: neither ntfs nor ext3/4 doesnt work [00:16] Seven_Six_Two: why?????? i can not explain this [00:17] kelbek, and is that a problem for you? Are you trying to format it from ubuntu? [00:17] Seven_Six_Two: yes, with gparted [00:17] Seven_Six_Two: i have severel data which are bigger as 4 GB [00:17] cybrhuman: Just for reference, I just found a way to make it work using Compiz. I have the Npviewer.bin class forced onto my main monitor, and I use the Zoom functionality in compiz to get it truly fullscreen. (No need to download video) [00:18] Seven_Six_Two: i would copy this files on the stick too [00:18] kelbek, what kind of error does it give you when you try to use ext3 [00:18] Xylch: instead, you can use 64bit flash and you won't need the 64bit wrapper for the 32bit flash [00:18] kelbek, it's not the best solution, but in a pinch you could rar (with no compression) and split it into multiple files [00:18] Seven_Six_Two: gparted shows red bang [00:19] ActionParsnip: Can you explain that, I don't quite understand how the version of Flash matters. [00:19] Seven_Six_Two: jeah, i think, this is the best solution the files with 7z to split [00:20] kelbek: try ext2 if it is a flash drive [00:20] kelbek, do you get the same error in gparted with another usb key? It may be that that one is dying. [00:20] kelbek: I am also a big fan of 7zip, you could also use it to split data into multiple variables [00:20] Xylch: you are using npviewer which is a 64bit wrapper so you can use 32bit plugins. If you use 64bit flash then you will get a much better flash experience as it will just be flash on its own [00:20] laptop_user: When you boot press shift to get the grub menu to show up. Have you ever done this before? [00:21] edbain, i have tried to edit bootcommand to nosplash noquiet nomodeset= whatever it is set to.. there are no errors during bootcommand. also, to clarify, the nvidia drivers and plymouth script were not part of recent installation. just mentioned b/c i know they can be problematic [00:21] hello, i own a intrepid box, how i upgrate into lucid? i dont want to reinstall, thanks [00:22] !eol | macin [00:22] macin: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [00:22] edbain: grub shows up fine. i have used 'e' to make changes to bootcommand and Ctrl + x to disable splashscreen [00:22] ok i been runing round and round with this issue about SADMS when i try to join it to the domain it returns a error code 7 with no other real details to the error... but when i do it manualy net ads join -U Administrator it works and adds it to the domain (except the dns record) any thoughts? [00:22] ActionParsnip: Flash is being displayed using the chrome flash plugin, but your saying that if I upgrade my actual flash on my system to 64 bit it will make the plugin act native instead of using a wrapper? [00:23] laptop_user: don't do 'nosplash' and 'noquite' simply erase the words splash and quite. You should get way more output hopefully containing informative errors. Try that. (you're spelling my name wrong) [00:23] meganerd: jeah, i will/have to so :-) [00:24] Xylch: exactly [00:24] macin: why not reinstall? [00:24] edbain: ok i will have to reboot, into ubuntu, make those chages and look for errors. as of now the it is set for quiet splash nomodeset=whatever its set for [00:24] Xylch: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/12/64bit-flash-ppa/ [00:25] edbain: so just remove quiet splash altogether and leave the nomodeset alone, correct? [00:25] i can not find anything in any relationship to setting up so i can send email through my terminal > searched google for over an hour > complete waste of time [00:25] laptop_user: Do you get what I'm saying? delete 'quiet' and 'slash' completely. nomodeset is not set equal to anything. It is simply 'nomodeset' [00:26] Seven_Six_Two: thx anyway for your help [00:26] laptop_user: nomodset is not equal to anything. (you're still spelling my name wrong) [00:26] macin: there are ways to back up your package selections, configuration files, and of course your user home directories, and installing all your packages over again would be much faster than upgrading them multiple times [00:26] meganerd: thx anyway for your help [00:26] hello does anyone know anything about rockbox. their irc is dead [00:26] laptop_user: If this doesn't work we'll see if recovery mode works [00:26] Hello everyone.

Key thing is that you don't have to log into busybox. If the system boots normally but it is cli you will have to log in [01:17] edbian: yes i had to log in [01:17] laptop_user: good sing :) [01:17] laptop freezes in battery mode while wifi on. any idea why? how can i report this to ubuntu dev?

[01:20] and the client on my side [01:20] BrainVirus Wait, forgot a step... [01:20] Codex84: yeah. The client is the machine you're using to log into the server [01:20] hello [01:20] can someone tell me how to get my wired Ethernet working?

[01:23] korbit: try a different brand of dvdrw [01:23] BrainVirus can they be in a new folder? [01:23] shaneomack91: not to be nitpicky.

It says the linxu type is "Not used' on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions but I really would like to simply get files off there, no write acess, just read. === dave is now known as Guest88191 [01:25] HTCPX: drivers are loaded as modules in kernel.. waht you have to do is either to configure the network interface using dhcp or using a static ip and ifconfig is the toll for doing so. [01:25] BrainVirus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/592899/ will put them in a folder called edited, you have to create it first. [01:25] Ben64: There really should be a way to tell the system it's wrong. Thanks for your help. [01:25] HTCPX: *tool [01:26] korbit: the drive controls it, so either the drive is messed up, or the discs === gmantovani is now known as gmantovani2005 [01:26] Ben64: The disks identify properly in windows, but not linux. === mRy is now known as Guest92858 [01:27] shaneomack91 that will put them in a folder called edited that i need to create in the folder that holds the .xml files before editing correct? [01:27] korbit: is it possible you're interpreting the information incorrectly [01:27] edbian: xorg.gnome.displaymanager [01:27] laptop_user: ? [01:27] laptop_user: That's all it said? Did it run or crash? [01:28] .org [01:28] edbian: that was the error, [01:28] laptop_user: Did it crash? Doesn't look like an error. [01:28] edbian, then it said error starting packages, bailing out [01:28] BrainVirus Yes. You make the splice.sh file and a subfolder called edited in the same folder as your .xml files. It will splice the text you add on the command line to all the XML files and put them in the folder called edited, leaving the originals alone. [01:28] Ben64: I wish that was the case, but I'm sure I'm reading things correctly. [01:28] laptop_user: starting packages huh.... [01:29] does anyone know why BIND would be doing this?

Im running into overtime now and the boss says i need to go home :) [01:30] edbian: again appreciate the help :) see you around [01:30] BrainVirus You're welcome. I have to go myself, working on a PHP project for my Dad :P [01:30] bassgoon: you might be able to repair it. what do you mean "multi-part sd card"? [01:30] Ben64, it has an ext3, swap and fat32 partition [01:30] BrainVirus: no worries :) [01:31] laptop_user: mmmm, you're gonna kill me... [01:31] bassgoon: and just the fat32 is messing up? [01:31] Ben64, no, the phone can't see any of it [01:31] could the phone normally see ext3?

[01:32] edbian: rebooting laptop into ubuntu so i can see the error and type it to u [01:32] bassgoon: well you can probably fix it with fsck [01:32] hmm [01:33] Ben64, i'm fine with repartitioning it [01:33] laptop_user: yeah. there were no errors besides that vague gdm stuff? [01:33] hi [01:33] none that says error [01:33] bassgoon: but now i'm interested... whats the advantage of ext3 and swap on a sd card in a droid? my sd is fat32 [01:33] laptop_user: mmmm, I'm not sure. [01:33] i installed some programs and now my sound is gone (no device in sound menu) [01:33] what can i do? :( [01:34] Ben64, well I'm too in to fiddling, but I have it set up using a tool to run apps from the ext3 partition off the sdcard [01:34] since i have a large/fast sd card [01:34] bassgoon: nice.. well you can use parted or gparted to repartition in ubuntu, but all info would be lost [01:34] I'm assuming all is lot anyway [01:34] i got intel sound hardware [01:34] on 10.10 32 bit [01:34] Hey. Is it possible to tunnel traffic through SSH by default (proxy settings), but fall back to "direct connection" if the tunnel doesnt exist? === Kick is now known as Kicked [01:35] bassgoon: its likely just a little error and totally recoverable [01:35] I got the tunnel working, but I want to be able to have it fallback to "direct connect" if no connection can be made to the tunnel (proxy socks host = 127.0.0.1) [01:35] edbian: i did notice a null on loopback0 but it continues [01:35] Hi, I did the updated on my laptop and now it has it's wifi disabled any ideas why on 10.10? [01:36] laptop_user: what if you boot and press ctrl + alt + F7 ? [01:36] Ben64, well I do have access to fsck on the phone [01:36] laptop_user: It should switch to graphics. If it doesn't you can switch back using ctrl + alt + F1 [01:36] !wifi > Kicked [01:36] i just can't figure out the device name [01:36] Kicked, please see my private message [01:36] can anyone help me getting my sound back?

[01:39] hi raikia...got google earth to run in the end(just 5mins ago) using 32 bit version [01:39] laptop_user: after sudo gdm [01:39] edbian: yes [01:39] Raikia_ : a shell script with a combination of ping and ssh will do the job... [01:39] hi anyone know about makefile programming? i'm trying to install a webcamstudio on natty since debs doesn't work i'm tangled with thes source code @_@ [01:39] Nice, KINGOFSWORDS. Glad to see you didn't give up on linux [01:39] better question, my networking on my laptop shows "Networking disabled" when I put my mouse over the icon. However the server sudo service networking is running and sitll remains down after restart/reboot of the machine [01:40] edbian: just rebooted and now doing ctrl + alt+ F7..... doing same as initial problem [01:40] roukoun, I know. I decided to do that. Now I need to know how to set the gnome network manager to a certain proxy setting via cli [01:40] laptop_user: I'm not sure what the issue is. what does dmesg say? [01:40] I see "gnome-network-properties", but I cant find any documentation on using it in CLI (with arguments) [01:40] laptop_user: any errors there? [01:40] edbian: just stuck at splash [01:41] Ben64, wanna help my on the syntax? [01:41] laptop_user: stuck at splash?

[01:41] when you do a search for "alsa" in synaptic on a default ubuntu install... which packages are installed? [01:42] Raikia_ : if you want to tunnel your proxy connection through ssh i dont think you can do it using the gnome-network-manager [01:42] Ben64, maybe it doesn't..haha [01:42] better question, my networking on my laptop shows "Networking disabled" when I put my mouse over the icon. However the server sudo service networking is running and still remains down after restart/reboot of the machine anyone have any ideas? [01:42] install:$(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_DIR) M=$(PWD) modules_install depmod -ae [01:42] oh...su [01:42] edbian: yes the plymouth splash screen..... mine is custom but yes at that splash screen [01:42] probably important [01:42] laptop_user: I have to go! I'm not sure what the issue is. [01:42] sorry I couldn't help more! :( [01:42] edbian: no worries, im just going to uninstall, format, and redo [01:42] edbian: one question though [01:43] I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop version but the swap size is small, how do I resize this? [01:43] roukoun: I have it currently working if I set the "SOCKS" property in the gnome network manager to 127.0.0.1, which makes sense to why it works. I just need to know how to set that via command line so I can put that in my script [01:43] edbian: i have a 15GB partition in NTFS for ubuntu. what should i set the installation size in wubi? [01:43] SuperLag, how much onboard memory? [01:44] !gparted | SuperLag run it from a live cd [01:44] SuperLag run it from a live cd: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[01:45] coz_ 2gb [01:45] I'm just reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [01:46] Superstar, what type of work do you generally do on the system? [01:46] !networkmanager | Kicked [01:46] Kicked: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [01:46] Superstar, and how much swap is reported? [01:46] hello [01:47] Raikia_ : i think that networkmanger is the only command line interaction you can have... [01:47] Does someone have experience with grub4dos and can help me? [01:47] *would [01:48] semitones, thank you [01:48] Kicked, np :D [01:48] !anyone > GatunoRox [01:48] GatunoRox, please see my private message [01:48] coz_ I develop websites, create and editing photos (nothing hardcore). I don't know how to view this in Ubuntu but I used Hirens Boot CD which reported 1.4GB [01:49] coz_ is there a friendly interface for creating/managing partitions? [01:49] I've got a dilemma I could use some help with, it's just a very simple question, but I'm uncertain if I should install the 10.10 Netbook Ubuntu on my Gateway laptop or the the Desktop OS. The main problem I have is determining if the i386 Ubuntu will work properly because I have an AMD processor on my laptop, and I haven't seen a Netbook AMD Ubuntu. If I am completely misunderstanding the meaning of the i386 and amd64 terminologies, [01:49] Superstar, gparted perhaps... [01:49] Superstar, gparted [01:49] run it from the ubuntu live cd [01:50] SuperLag, generally you only need as much swap as physical memory though [01:50] coz_ semitones: thanks loves [01:50] coz_ semitones: thanks loves [01:50] Superstar, I also do image editing and if it is bitmap based it can take quite a bit of memory + swap... svg not so much [01:50] Superstar, especially if the files are above 128 megs [01:50] I want to partition a external usb HDD so I can use syslinux to boot live cd images directly so I can test distros and use a Full install in an ext2 partition, where a full ubuntu installation would sit [01:51] Thrawnma: You are misunderstanding. It's confusing though, so that's not surprising :(. Which AMD processor do you have? [01:51] Thrawnma: i386 means it's the 32 bit version. you can run it on either an AMD or intel processor [01:51] coz_ I know what you mean but I have mac for the hardcore stuff [01:51] Having a large fat32 partition, for data storage/live cds and use grub4DOS to boot ubuntu [01:51] Mobile AMD Athlon 64 [01:52] And I was wondering if that wasn't the case, but the amd was throwing me off [01:52] Thrawnma: Athlon 64 should work with either of i686 or amd64. [01:52] Superstar, mm then if you are not using the pc for the hardcore stuff I am guessing that 1gig+ you have s hould be adequate [01:52] Hola, alguien por favor digame una pagina para descargarme el ubuntu mas reciente o el que me recomienden q bueno para principiantes. [01:52] semitones, well i've read through most of it and the thing is the wifi was working just fine then I updated and it broke :( I'm not seeing how to get it going again :( [01:52] I don't want to chainload Grub from Grub4DOS [01:52] Thrawnma: Less confusing names for the two options might be "x86" and "x86-64". [01:52] Thrawnma: (32-bit and 64-bit respectively) [01:53] Kicked, have you tried restarting network manager? [01:53] !es | Cisman_ [01:53] Cisman_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [01:53] semitones, yes, it'll restart fine but still says it's not running [01:53] gracias! [01:53] semitones, and it restarts no fine sudo service network-manager restart [01:54] Right, I knew x86 was associated with the 32bit software since I updated my desktop to Windows 7 and have a completely separate Program Files for my old software now. I appreciate the clarification guys, thanks much. I'm looking forward to Ubuntu on my laptop again since I always enjoyed how much more efficiently it used resources. Thanks again [01:54] Logan_: did your factoid requests get sorted out? I disconnected and my scrollback is a mess [01:55] Kicked, definitely sounds like a regression -- maybe you could check launchpad to see if anyone's reported it as a bug and worked out a solution === myrl is now known as myrk [01:58] i just installed evolution mail were is itlocated in the menus > not in applications/internet [01:59] hiexpo: Applications > Office, I think [01:59] evolution is in internet on my system hiexpo [01:59] When I press the tab key my mouse pointer freezes for a while (1-2 seconds) it's really annoying. Has anyone experienced anything similar? [01:59] rww, yep thanks > [02:00] rww: yeah, don't worry about it [02:00] Logan_: alrighty.

[02:02] bonny, also urban assault [02:02] semitones: looks in package names and contents [02:02] Can someone help me understand what this means http://paste.ubuntu.com/592914/ [02:02] bonny, please keep discussion in channel :) [02:02] rww: no prob [02:03] is this the official server for ubuntu? [02:03] kassius: This is the official channel. [02:03] kassius: #ubuntu on freenode is the official technical support channel for Ubuntu, yes.

[02:06] how would i install urban assault on lx terminal [02:07] ubuntu newbie...can i install dual boot with windows when ive already installed ubuntu? [02:08] bonny, it's actually called 'urban terror,' my mistake: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1082432 [02:08] that should get you started [02:08] I've got a problem with the "timeout/standby lockscreen" functionality(don't know exactly what it's called). When I set some applications to "Allways on top", they also come on top of the lock screen designed to lock your computer from unwanted access. Looks like a bug to me, has anyone else experienced something like this withNatty(11.04)? [02:08] KINGOFSWORDS, yes [02:09] KINGOFSWORDS, you just have to reinstall grub afterwards from the live cd (which can be a little disorienting for the first time) [02:09] can ubuntu not remap mouse buttons easily? i did it in windows 7 easily [02:10] do i just install like normal, and then when windows asks about parition i just chose share option? [02:10] KINGOFWORDS, this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [02:10] KINGOFSWORDS, the best thing to do is do your partitioning using gparted on the ubuntu live cd, and then install windows to the partition you've created for it [02:10] it says good graphics i dont know if that will work on this computer [02:11] is it possibe to play games through wine....or will it have to be a dual boot? [02:11] KINGOFSWORDS, some games work, some don't. i'd go with dual boot myself [02:11] hey i just installed ubuntu, and on firefox, when i go to google and do a search-- every link has this prepended "http://0c1b.r.google.com/" and it goes to a spam website [02:11] thx enotodden and semitones [02:11] KINGOFWORDS, check the wine website to see if the game you want to play works with wine [02:12] semitones, it says good graphics i dont know if that iwll work on this computer [02:12] yeh i wanted gta 4...thought wine only played old things like quake [02:12] Hi guys, i sudo apt-get autoremoved kubuntu, but the xserver login screen for it is still there and is complaining about letting me log in. [02:12] bonny, look for its system requirements if you want to be sure. you can also search google for old fps multiplayer games [02:12] In Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop, in clock prefrences my city isn't listed in the location list so I won't be able to get the weather information. How do we inform the dev team? [02:12] I want to take care of this. What's the syntax for removed the xserver login for kubuntu? [02:13] Superstar, you can get the weather from the clock? cool! [02:13] how do you do it? [02:13] linux is gay. i cant switch tabs with my left/right scroll wheel in firefox.. [02:13] when i partition the space for windows do i have to chose how much hdd space i want to use for windows apps and games or will linux and wins share the space? [02:13] stu: Please don't use "gay" as a pejorative. [02:13] yeah :( [02:13] lol [02:14] stu, works in FF4 for me at least.. [02:14] linux is happy well good for it :P [02:14] semitones. Click the date/clock on youe desktop, under "Locations", click Edit. It should load clock preferences and in there there is a tab called Locations [02:14] Superstar, where does it show you the weather though? [02:14] Bite: how did you install it, package kubuntu-desktop? [02:15] semitones: After you add your location, it will show it next to the date/time [02:15] you dont know of any other fps do u [02:15] enotodden, im using 4 but i cant get it to work [02:15] semitones: Don't be shy to try [02:15] milamber: yeah. [02:15] Superstar, oh neat, i will investigate [02:15] hi [02:15] Bite: kubuntu-desktop is what is known as a meta-package, it is difficult to uninstall [02:16] Superstar, maybe you could put in your lat:long instead [02:16] Bite: it installs a lot of other packages [02:16] anyone here used debootstrap (yes this is my question so dont !ask me) [02:16] milamber: >:V [02:16] Bite: not impossible: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [02:16] milamber: is there a package name that installs strictly the desktop? [02:17] I have my session on display 0 and my mom's on display 2, teamviewer is running on my mom's session, how come it stops working when I switch to my session and does not work till I switch back to her session on my computer? [02:17] sweet now i have the weather! [02:17] anyway of fixing this? [02:17] milamber: thank you so much. [02:17] firefox keeps stalling ..is there a better browser for ubuntu..? swiftfox, chrome opea? [02:17] semitones, how do i install quake? [02:17] thats what i've been wondering [02:17] firefox has been rather unstable lately on my net streams [02:18] can anyone suggest a good easy to comprehend tutorial for starting to understand terminal. by starting, i mean the only commands i know are to get updates because i memorized them an dhave no idea how to actually understand what they mean [02:18] Bite: read through the package list and make sure you aren't removing anything you want. [02:18] milamber: i'm having issues logging in :V looks like i either have to input it manually or get rid of XServer. [02:18] stu, Doesn't look like it works with all mouses. tried with my HP mouse now, and that doesn't work for some reason.. Maybe the reason my main mouse(logitech) works for this is a side effect of my confs. Sorry. [02:18] KINGOFSWORDS, ya its called firefox 4 for windows. i can us my left/right scroll wheel to change tabs in that! [02:18] how u view ur ip address [02:18] on ubuntu [02:18] enotodden, hmm, thats sad. thanks [02:18] bonny, i don't know all these answers lol, i've just been googling all your questions [02:19] Milamber: Do you know how to remove the xserverlogin specifically? it's causing issues, if i can get that out from a command line i should be set. [02:19] umm ok [02:19] "how to install quake ubuntu" [02:19] semitones: accordingto this link, apparently a poster has successfully retrieved correct weather by entering lon/lat but I don't believe that http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=799668 [02:19] stu im on laptop so have no scroll [02:19] Milamber: and I know that cntrl+alt+f1+6 takes you to command line; is there a way to do the opposite? [02:19] Superstar, you can try it and see -- google maps can tell you your lat:long [02:20] Bite: ctrl + alt + F7 [02:20] Milamber: thanks. Do you know the name of the package that's the login screen of kubuntu specifically? [02:20] Superstar, you just have to enable it in labs [02:20] firefox is clunky anyway [02:21] Bite: i believe it is kdm, just like gnome is gdm [02:21] is there any kind of network speed meter like 'netspeed' of gnome? [02:21] Milamber: also: the page you linked me to has it set up so that it uninstalls everything in kubuntu and then reinstalls gnome. [02:21] RxDx, speedometer [02:21] semitones. what is 'labs'? [02:21] Milamber: What exactly is contained in KDM? or GDM? [02:21] hiexpo, ty [02:21] stu, you could allways map the mouse functions to the hotkeys FF uses for tabs though.. I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble though. [02:21] yep [02:22] Codex84, go to System >> Administration and open Network Tools [02:22] please slow down what was the reccmended brower for Ubuntu? [02:22] SuperLag, in the top right hand corner of maps.google.com, click the cog icon, and you can see the maps there [02:22] enotodden, thats what im trying to do. imwheel didnt work so im looking for other options [02:22] Bite: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/gdm and to not install/reinstall gnome just remove the && install ubuntu-desktop [02:22] Bluebill-Wolf, firefox comes installed, but chromium also works and so do others [02:23] Is it possible for 2 separate installations of ubuntu/unix can share the same /tmp partition? [02:23] last thing i need is my feed dieing again in the middle of a stream when i cna't access it [02:23] >.< [02:23] MK`, i don't see why not, but don't take my word for it :p [02:24] milamber: doesn't it just reinstall the gnome meta-package? [02:24] semitones: lol you called me superlag. oh I know how to get long and lat. I'm trying to find out where gnome gets the weather from, then compare a listed city to a manually entered one [02:24] Please, how i install a official new gnome3 [02:25] Superstar, oh that's a good question -- the thing to do then I guess would be search for GNOME's clock applet and see if their website says === Vile is now known as Vile` [02:26] Hello everyone, I'm building a virtualized learning/lab environment at home and I have a quick question regarding the infrastructure. I am planning on using the following Lucid servers (respectively) DNS = djbdns, DHCP = dhcpd, SVN = svn, WEB = apache2, MANAGEMENT = puppet. [02:26] What order should I create them in, does it really matter? [02:26] Superstar: Or read the source.tar :) === mRy is now known as Guest78285 [02:27] red2kic hell no [02:27] should i use Maverick or maverick (notice capital M) [02:28] Too many letters for the likes of me === roaming is now known as INFURNO [02:29] does any1 know how to use perl? [02:29] comon thats an easy one. not like im asking about write access to /proc/$1/mem [02:29] Bardo_Being, i don't think you'll find too much help here for that [02:30] Bardo_Being: you might try perl mongers [02:30] Is GDM strictly the login screen? or also the desktop? [02:30] hello [02:30] Bite, the 'login screen' but it does alot more than that === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [02:31] Are there any packages that are the desktop strictly and not the crapload of programs that follow? [02:31] pfifio. [02:32] pfifo* [02:32] hardisk, it's not currently supported in ubuntu, or in the upcoming ubuntu 11.04 [02:32] Bite, your describing an x-y problem [02:32] oh god not the xy thing again [02:32] Bite, what is your desired end result [02:32] If I don't set a password for the keystore, say I just entered a wifi password, does 'unsecure' relate by physical access to my computer or does it include remote access? [02:32] hardisk, but there is an unsupported way of installing it if you don't mind maybe fixing broken things [02:32] whats the different between useing remote desktop viewer [02:32] and openssh [02:32] ? [02:33] wat is x-y :[ [02:33] Bite: gnome-core or kde-plasma-desktop for GNOME or KDE. [02:33] pfifo: i want to be able to install just the window manager, not the entire desktop & [rpgrams. [02:33] !xy > semitones [02:33] semitones, please see my private message [02:33] semitones, im having problem X and I think Y can fix it but i dont know anything about Y [02:33] oh i used to do that [02:33] now i know better [02:33] thanks :) === Logan_ is now known as SadPanda [02:34] Bite: Gnome barebone? Gnome Basic? [02:34] myh [02:34] hello, im triying to connect my laptop to the tv, via HDMI.. but my ubunto doesnt detect the connection, any help? [02:34] Bite, in that case you want X all by itself, but it its really ugly, is gnome is too bulky for you try xubuntu [02:34] is there anyway to use two drivers at once [02:34] rww: will that install strictly the desktop? i just want normal gnome, but none of the programs. [02:35] is wine the best windows emulator..and is it ok to install b4 partition dual boot 4 windows? [02:35] Bite, are you doing the minimal install? [02:35] Bite: gnome-core is the smallest GNOME metapackage on Ubuntu I know of. If you don't like that, you probably won't like anything. [02:35] Okay: the desired end is that i want to be capable of installing JUST the GNOME window manager & related programs. [02:35] KINGOFSWORDS, wine stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator" [02:35] semitones, Tnk's for information. I will search mor about this. [02:35] Bite: rww is correct. gnome-core is what you want, a minimal gnome -- A basic gnome environment without any of ubuntu's added packages. [02:35] Bite: sudo apt-get install metacity. Enjoy the rather broken result. [02:35] please? [02:35] KINGOFSWORDS, there are better ways of playing games on linux, but they are not free [02:36] Bite, X takes care of windows, and gnome takes care of how they look, if gnome is to slow//big//ugly, then there are atleast a dozen othes yyou can try [02:36] red2kic: rww: That's exactly what i want. gnome-core, that is. rww: What's metacity? [02:36] Bite: GNOME's window manager. [02:36] KINGOFSWORDS, however, if you compare their price with actually buying windows, it may be worth it [02:36] XServer handles windows, gnome handles appearance, and metacity is basically the window manager in gnome? [02:36] Bite: Window manager. I think you meant nautilus, a file manager. [02:36] how do i register a nickname? [02:37] !register > Bardo_Being [02:37] Bardo_Being, please see my private message [02:37] luisarroyo, did you try pressing the apci function key on your computer? [02:37] nautilus being the file manager.... [02:37] !list [02:37] 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 ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [02:37] ok thx semi [02:37] Let me rephrase. [02:37] this one is haveing issues getting the sterio mix to work properly [02:37] rww, does bite want to do the minimal install? [02:37] I would like to be able to install gnome, without any open-sources programs or packages. [02:38] no file sharing? [02:38] Heh. That sentence contradict itself. [02:38] Bite: GNOME and the underlying Ubuntu system are open source :| [02:38] I want nautilus, metacity, xserver, the core, but i don't want any third-party programs. [02:38] can you even have an operating system with no gui programs [02:38] !xdcc find gcc-4.4.4.tar.bz2 [02:38] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:38] except nautilus [02:38] semitones thank you. No idea of what my acpi key is..sorry [02:38] does /tmp in maverick use tmpfs or just the same fs as /? [02:38] * rww wanders off [02:38] when on the same partition [02:38] is non free linux apps mean they not supported or they actually have to be paid for? [02:39] What's contained in gnome-core? [02:39] semitones: they get the weather from weather.noaa.gov ;) [02:39] luisarroyo, it's a key on your keyboard that looks like a tv -- sometimes laptops especially have them [02:39] Superstar, awesome! where did you find it? [02:39] semitones yes yes [02:39] i have a gui(cairo) dock ...is it slow because i changed icons with png's that are in different folders? [02:40] Bite, use the alternate/minimal install CD and install a base (terminal only system) and then apt-get the packages you want, be careg=faul about what apt-get chooses to install as well [02:40] semitones: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=996532 [02:40] ive tryed but nothin happened [02:40] semitones: last post!

[02:44] Help! My wireless card is no longer detected. I tried using ndiswrapper with no luck. [02:44] it's like it just disappeared [02:44] Bite, or rather, why would you not want to install every single extra program that gnome has? [02:44] hi [02:44] warning: i need detailed help and patience. Pretty new at this [02:44] is this the proper place for questions about vpnc && resolvconf (on ubuntu 10.10)? [02:45] ramadan, ndiswrapper is kinda dated, google a bit more ofr a newr article [02:45] How can I share my DVD drive over the network? I need to install iLife on my optical-drive-less MBP.

[02:46] i am connecting to a bridge (wireless wet64g) [02:47] i setup the bridge to use my network -- but i guess i need a manual ip -- i am not sure if that is an ip for my router or for the bridge [02:47] ramadan, i wounl need access to your hardware, if you want help you have to ask a deailed question, one sec, the bot will explain [02:47] Has anyone else noticed that Brasero can't eject a DVD once it is done === Bardo_Being is now known as bardo [02:47] but i would like to prevent this manual setting each time [02:47] pfifo: but i love the prettiness of the new gnome, and kde was just a pain to use.

How do I fix this [02:47] dunno i though cos too much movement [02:47] mjn. It still activates the laptop monitor while booting up then it switches off when the desktops loaded. It's off while BIOS does its thing [02:48] Bite, you didnt answer the question [02:48] rww, nother ? [02:48] pfifo: I'm looking for a way to just install gnome without any packages other than the essentials to run gnome because i already have such packages.

[02:49] HDMI out problem, ubuntu doesnt find it, anyone that can help me? [02:49] Bite, gnome isnt like xfce or flux/black, gnome is like a set of packages.

[02:50] pfifo: didn't know. will do. [02:50] KINGOFSWORDS, it looks like the "place windows" might be what i like [02:50] rww, i don't want to either :( [02:51] does xfce not run compiz thou? [02:51] mjn: no external monitor is ON from bios onwards. The internal is off up until I select Ubuntu from Grub. After that, the internal monitor switches off after the desktop is loaded. External monitor is on throughout [02:51] KINGOFSWORDS, i'm using gnome [02:51] with compiz [02:51] me too bonhoffer [02:51] so i use pdns locally on my boxes to speed up browsing, as a dep pdns pulled in resolvconf, which turned my /etc/resolv.conf to a sym link, this works fine for the pre-installed "hooks" like pdns, dhcpd etc etc however for vpnc which im using from command line, resolver isn't updated and basically renders my vpn useless as i would have to know the ip's of everything to get anywhere ;<. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue [02:51] KINGOFSWORDS, i think you have the answer, i just need to know what button 1 and 3 r mouse . . . .means [02:51] im presently just updating my file manually as a workaround [02:52] I hope I'm not interrupting anything, but for some reason I can't execute the Java JVM installer...Private chat w/me if anyone knows what to do.

[02:52] Will autoremove also get rid of used packages? as opposed to just untouched ones? [02:52] this window (xchat) is taking up the whole screen -- i can manually move it, but that is a pain [02:52] button 1 is left mouse key and button 3 is right one, button 2 is middle button and 4 and 5 are scroll wheel [02:52] mjn no i'm probably not typing properly, it's late ^^ [02:52] thanks [02:52] Bite: autoremove removes packages that are marked as automatically installed and not a depend or recommend of manually installed packages [02:53] mjn, I'm trying to permanantly disable the internal monitor. I don't want it to switch on at all [02:53] rww: thanks === Kamakazi_ is now known as Kamakazi [02:53] I'm even contemplating opening the laptop and disconnecting it [02:53] KINGOFSWORDS, oh, you were just teaching me -- got it -- any thought on how to make an app vertically maximized, but only use half the screen?

[02:53] Superstar: fn+f10. [02:53] Bite: I don't know what you're trying to do or how your packages are set up, so I can't answer that. [02:53] Bite gnome-core appears to be a single package, as opposed to a meta package. [02:54] Superstar, not sure that is an option...what is the bios make and version? [02:54] nah bonhoffer..only been using linux 3 days u know more than me probbly [02:54] KINGOFSWORDS, got it [02:54] pfifo: gnome-core is a metapackage.

When it asks me if I want to change my home folders' names I sometimes change them. However, recently I chose "Do not show this anymore" or whatever it said. Now no matter what language I put it in it does not ask me. How can I get this back? [05:16] soreau: i was wrong, it's an atheros wireless chip - sorry. [05:16] PresuntoRJ, there is no information of gateway and dns via ip add [05:17] ouyes: ah... I see... the routes (gateway included) are in $ ip route [05:17] ouyes: the DNS has nothing to do with the network settings them self... it resides in a config file /etc/resolv.conf [05:17] Good morning! [05:18] ouyes: in the GUI, you can also click on the Network Manager and ask to view the Network Information (or something like that) [05:18] how do i remove rythembox? [05:18] ouyes: it shows my DNS there as well [05:18] I have problem with all type of recording, using Soundblaster Audigy. Is it possible to rremove all sound driver in ubuntu and install it again? [05:18] PresuntoRJ, thanks [05:18] Audigy 2 Platinum [05:19] ouyes: by the way, ip add is short for "ip address" [05:19] PresuntoRJ btw, ip is short for "ip add" [05:20] yeah [05:20] Softdroid: I believe those drivers are all embended in the kernel... unless you reinstall ubuntu (not the point)... are you sure its not some codec issue? [05:20] so where i can route this ip? [05:20] Softdroid: there is a friend that might help a lot with sound issues and config... meganerd [05:20] iptables -i [05:21] jeremymcs: no, there is a command called $ ip [05:21] PresuntoRJ: I don't know. My mic is not working properly and I can't record anything either from the mic or Line in [05:21] ever since the last update, my lucid partition keeps crashing, either when it is loading or after like 5 minutes of use [05:21] jeremymcs: and the "add" is an option for the "address" [05:21] Why does 'h*.php' work if there is at least one h*.php in the current directory (for global tags system) and it will find others in subdirectory, but if there is no h*.php is the current directory it will flat out refuse any h*.php in subdirs? [05:21] jeremymcs: ip is the name of the protocol, not the address it self [05:21] PresuntoRJ: Is meganerd usually in this channel? [05:22] how do i downgrade to a previous release of ubuntu? [05:22] Softdroid: he usually is, but I am not sure what timeZone, so, he could be sleeping now [05:22] PresuntoRJ: Ok, I will look for him. thanks :) === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [05:22] I was told to burn LiveCDs at 1x, but the minimum write speed of my drive is 4x.

Now no matter what language I put it in it does not ask me. How can I get this back? [05:36] jbswaff: Seems to have something to do with the switch to enable/disable wifi. Can you try 'rfkill unblock wifi' then try to bring the interface up again with 'ifconfig wlan0 up' ?

My HD just died to a trojan and i need to recover one of its partitions [05:37] soreau: 'ifconfig wlan0 up' errors out: [05:37] soreau: Permission denied [05:38] jbswaff: You need to prefix the command with sudo [05:39] Gparted detects the partition as "Unknown" file type, and it wont allow me to mount it, i dont want to format it if theres any way to recover the data, it would take months to recover all of it again [05:39] soreau: "Operation not possible due to RF-kill" [05:39] PresuntoRJ: How can I check the version of my Alsa driver? [05:39] sdobz: did you set mask settings in the smb conf [05:39] jbswaff: What happened when you ran 'rfkill unblock wifi'? Did you make sure the wifi is turned on via the switch/button to enable/disable it? [05:41] raido: No, I didn't change any of the masking stuff. Let me look into that. [05:41] soreau: when i ran that command, nothing happened that i could see - it gave me no response. The switch remains off even when pressed. With HP, they have a power button type switch. When working normally, it is orange when off and blue when on. The switch remains orange even after pressed [05:43] jbswaff: There are two pages about it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1610829 but point to rfkill unblock wifi fixing the issue. Maybe you need to run it with sudo, or reboot for it to take effect. [05:43] soreau, thank you, i'll go ahead and try rebooting [05:44] hello, anyone could give me a hand to recover data in a lost partition? My HD just died to a trojan and i need to recover one of its partitions please help me [05:44] jbswaff: Alright, let me know what happens [05:44] How can I get my system to ask me if I would change the names of my default folders when I log in? When I change languages now it doesn't ask me and I need to change the names of them. [05:45] soreau: after rebooting, it's the same thing [05:46] rypervenche: Default folders? Typically, there are none. You just make them. However, there are few folders (with certain symbolic icons). Downloads, Pictures, Documents, Templates, etc. [05:46] jbswaff: Did you try running 'sudo rfkill unblock wifi'? [05:46] soreau: yes === derek__ is now known as MGMTM3 [05:46] rypervenche: it's possibly a config setting in ~/.config somewhere [05:47] red2kic: Right, those are the ones that change when your change your locale. Normally it asks you if you would like to change the language of them as well when you change locales. However, I checked the box to have it no longer ask. [05:47] jbswaff: What does 'rfkill list' say? [05:47] hi [05:48] or maybe in gconf somewhere [05:48] hey [05:48] rypervenche: Ah.

Only thing I can suggest is try asking in ##linux since it seems to be a kernel issue [05:52] hey, i am already asking aroundd in ubuntu-server, but i figured i would ask here too. i am trying to get a headless serverr to connect to my router. I am administering the server via an AP wireless network (no idea what the AP stands for, but functions as ad hoc with server as host) and i am having trouble getting the router and the server talking properly. when i try to bring up eth0 i get this: http://pastebin.com/5EzXEjzA [05:52] soreau: Will do!

[05:58] Does anyone know how to change the proxy server (in gnome-network-preferences) via command line? [05:59] cmdbbq: It looks like either your server is not physically connected to the router, or your router is misconfigured and isn't handing out DHCP leases.

The cable is fine. [06:04] so i deleted it, moved my ubuntu partitions, resized, etc... expected my install to break and need repairs [06:04] jbswaff: The fact that there's no answer anywhere on forums and such mean the problem is probably easily fixed by something silly [06:04] but yet.. [06:04] it didn't break at all :o [06:04] i am switching back to the router to chack something, but i shall return [06:04] soreau: that sounds unreasonably optimistic :) [06:04] soreau: too bad we dont know what that silly fix is lol [06:05] cmdbbq: Have you tried rebooting the router, just for good measure?

[06:22] ok thanks ... reading the man on it now [06:23] sLaeYa: also remember, don't specify a partition to install to, just the hd [06:23] <^NiNjA> the grub rescue disk can search for installed grub configs and reinstall them [06:23] ^NiNjA: so can lice cd, but you still have to specify the hd first [06:23] sorry, is there any way to autohide the sidebar in ubuntu netbook? [06:24] <^NiNjA> dint know that WaltherFI [06:24] <^NiNjA> cool [06:24] Cortex: update to 11.04, basically the same interface, autohide implemented and default behavior [06:24] i read an article one where a guy installed like 80 different os's or some crazy number [06:24] WaltherFI: how can i upgrade? download the iso and reinstall? [06:24] *once [06:25] Cortex: download the iso, boot from dvd/usb, then you can either do a clean install or upgrade [06:25] Cortex: however, i'd suggest a clean install, but it's up to you [06:25] anyway, g2g now [06:25] i installed bridge-utils through terminal and now i dont know where it went or how to access it [06:26] WaltherFI: that's the only way then? [06:26] it would appear "sudo grub" doesn't work off the live install for 10.10 [06:27] <^NiNjA> u can use the terminal to upgrade [06:27] !grub2 | sLaeYa please read this [06:27] sLaeYa please read this: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[06:27] ^NiNjA, not good advice [06:27] bazhang: I don't want to install ubuntu [06:28] bazhang: nor any other linux. I need it for something else [06:28] Milossh, for what [06:28] <^NiNjA> he wanted another way to upgrade to 11.04 other than cd/dvd [06:28] bazhang: to try snow leopard on my pc [06:28] <^NiNjA> its on ubuntu site [06:28] guys please help me install flash player on linux, i need to listen to my last favourite song from when i was a teen before dieing please [06:28] Milossh, thats offtopic here and on freenode [06:28] Milossh, there's no special 'ubuntu' version of a disk image.... === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK [06:28] ^NiNjA: usually, instruct about #ubuntu+1 channel [06:29] TuxTuxTux, rww already told you [06:29] bazhang: my question wasn't how to do it. My question is ubuntu specific [06:29] !ubuntu+1 [06:29] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04 - Natty is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 [06:29] randomuser: but startup disk creator cannot recognize some of the iso files [06:29] Milossh, there is none, and only Macs can install Leopard. Please dont ask any further [06:29] bazhang: I didn't ask anything about mac [06:29] Milossh: you're trying to install leopard on a usb? [06:30] but i dont know how to do it, i dont know where is that folder [06:30] Milossh, leopard is OS X [06:30] Cortex: nope, just make a bootable drive [06:30] <^NiNjA> PresuntoRJ, i was replying to his question regarding an alternative to getting natty other than cd/dvd media [06:30] TuxTuxTux, its a hidden folder [06:30] Milossh: you can check out lifehacker [06:30] bazhang: I'm not asking anything about it for god's sake, I'm asking about creating a bootable USB! [06:30] how do i use bridge-utils after installing it? [06:31] Milossh, leopard is not supported here try a mac channel for installing on an Apple computer [06:31] ^NiNjA: well, ok... [06:31] bazhang: what's wrong with you? [06:31] <^NiNjA> agreed ist not a good idea for beta but he wanted an alternative [06:31] anyone having problems with bcm 43xx wifi on natty and needs help? [06:31] Milossh: not sure what you want...unetbootin might work, or the dd command [06:31] /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea.. [06:31] Milossh: so you basically wnt to boot leopard from a usb? [06:32] Cortex, lets move on please [06:32] brb [06:32] bazhang: will do. i got the answer to what i needed, anyway. thanks everyone [06:33] ok, i have a server that allows configuration via an AP type wireless network. I need it to connect with a static ip to my linksys router. both the router and the AP wireless networrk set themselves up at 192.168.1.1 I think this must be the source of the problem. I need to be connected to the wireless network hosted by the server until i get it up and running on the proper network. once i can ssh in that way, i will shut the wireless down [06:34] jbswaff: Which version of ubuntu are you using? [06:35] okay i just put the libnullplugin.so file in the plugins folder from firefox [06:35] how do i install it? just restarting firefox? [06:36] TuxTuxTux: it should be called libflashplayer.so :| [06:36] TuxTuxTux: but yes, restarting firefox should pick it up if you put it in the right place [06:37] okay gonna try that, brb [06:37] is it not recommended to edit fstab manually? (e.g. it's not recommended to edit GRUB manually) [06:38] white_magic: not without good reason, anyhow [06:38] ayecee: i wanna automount my windows hard drives [06:38] or should i just have a startup script instead? [06:38] white_magic: who's going to stop you? [06:39] ayecee: no one, but i want to know what's the.. practical way of doing this [06:39] wow it worked, but i dont have sound and i cant listen to my song :( [06:39] white_magic: editing fstab is the practical way [06:39] ok ty === sagarchalise is now known as Guest49361 [06:40] cmdbbq: So configure the router's LAN to a different subnet and let the server pull a DHCP lease from it. [06:40] is there any way i could fix the sound? [06:41] Where is the »kerneloops« service described?

[06:43] ayecee: I am testing it on Natty right now, thats why... ;) [06:43] #ubuntu isn't for natty ;P [06:44] rww: man, I am not asking about the +1, am i? [06:44] alsamixer says its not muted [06:44] PresuntoRJ: perhaps it's not a useful question in that context. [06:44] PresuntoRJ: yes...?

[06:46] ayecee: :D [06:47] bullgard4: you are on Lucid, right? [06:48] PresuntoRJ: No. On Maverick. [06:48] ok, i reset the server and changed the settings on the router and now i can't get in to the server [06:48] ayecee: does the /mnt directory get cleared each time a system is rebooted? I don't need to delete dirs i created, right? [06:48] bullgard4: is it up to date? cause mine has 2.32.1 on it [06:48] how can i install the sound drivers from asus after i downloaded them?

[06:50] red2kic: y bad... right [06:50] PresuntoRJ: so should i use another mount mount? is that where ubuntu mounts drives by default? [06:50] seems like it tbh [06:50] i mean mounts when i click on a volume from 'system' [06:50] white_magic: If you're mounting manually, it does not matter. /media/ or /mnt/ is sufficient. [06:50] PresuntoRJ: I think so. Synaptic says that my version 2.30.3-0ubuntu1 is up-to-date. [06:51] can lunix run macros? [06:51] is there any way to enable sound for firefox please i need to listen to my song before i die, please [06:51] bullgard4: I see the point, I have another repository here.... thanks.. sorry for the trouble === Guest49361 is now known as sagarchalise [06:51] bullgard4: maverick/updates actually [06:51] 1 more question: i don't need to manually unmount any windows filesystems before rebooting, correct?

[06:54] vagvaf: no [06:54] :( [06:54] vagvaf: The closest thing to safe GNOME 3 on Ubuntu is a PPA. That only works for natty. And tends to break things. [06:55] There's just too much stuff that needs updating to backport it. [06:55] holle [06:55] PresuntoRJ: I made a mistake.

[09:01] no, there are a couple of bash manuals and tutorials online [09:01] i just didn't have any time [09:01] the bash irc bot knows them all... I just sit with those tutorials when I have to write something [09:02] just read 2 page is enough for one day :) [09:02] I gues no crl gurus here [09:03] aivou: First lesson, although linux security is not perfect you are no longer the low fruit on the tree, you can relax but not too much. Servers are the main goal for hackers since they are dedicated and on all the time. But as a home user you have not much to worry about. What are your worries? [09:03] I thought that there was a Ubuntu beginners channel on freenode...... This channel is above my paygrade for the moment I believe [09:04] maheanuu, whats up [09:04] maheanuu: it is for beginners also... just ask if something is on your mind [09:04] hi Is it neccessary to use fetchmail or such tool with mutt ? I find mutt can deal with POP well by itself [09:04] prov: im not worried too much right now, but i might put up a server someday, after i've learned linux abit [09:05] prov: so its more like curiosity than concern [09:05] hi [09:05] I just installed Skype a couple of days ago and it was the latest one for Ubuntu and was working fine and I have been using my machine for audio and video work but My bro in law wanted to talk to his sister in Hawaii (il live in Tahiti) and when I went to skype my sound wasn't working and when I went back to Ubuntu I had NO sound out at all [09:05] after a reboot somehow my window decorations are gone 0_o (metacity) [09:06] Is Ubuntu faster than OSX? [09:06] danielcg25: try it out yourself [09:07] aivou: You ought to invest a little money in a hacking book. If you want to be a good defender you better be one good offender. If you do not know how your enemy thinks and the tools they use you stand no chance. I would tell a would be cracker to study forensics because without knowing their enemy they would not be good at what they do. [09:07] hello everyone, i need some help to open 80 port for an emulated software in ubuntu [09:07] luca__: the software should open port 80 [09:07] luca__: also remeber, port80 is normally reserved for apache [09:07] aivou: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/ [09:08] which is faster, x64 or i386? [09:08] I did a aplay -l and my sound card is showing I have no pulse files and my alsa is supposedly in place [09:08] luca__, you can get UFW - quite easy to use. apt-get install ufw [09:08] x64 is faster, but only works on 64 bit cpus [09:08] join #windows [09:08] and then just "sudo ufw allow 80" [09:08] lolmatic: "metacity --replace & disown" in terminal [09:08] prov: thanks! [09:08] iceroot: i know, i was trying to install a winzozz network video sourveillance software on ubuntu using wine [09:09] luca__, then you will need to port forward from gateway to host for external access [09:09] rumpe1: thx. but why were they gone in the first place? [09:09] lolmatic: you can check the logs (Xorg.0.log e.g.) [09:09] iceroot: the problem is "port 80 is not avaiable" , but for ufw is fully open [09:09] luca__, there is a native vid app for that! [09:09] I am running a 64 bit version and loving it I had no probs after an upgrade where I installed a 500 gig hd and upgraded Ubuntu 10.10 64 [09:09] aivou: You ought to use the link to that distro I gave. Set up in virtual box and hack your own system. It is worth far more than any school degree. === sm is now known as Guest7888 === Guest7888 is now known as sm` [09:10] luca__: its part of wine/your application to open that port. have a look at #winehq [09:10] prov: Yea, i've heard about backtrack before, but never used it [09:11] iceroot: i asked, they sayed to ask here, because i need to add an exception on 80 for the software end they don't remember the syntax [09:11] anyone got some info on getting ubuntu 10.04 server running on this :- http://www.usadoscom.com/imagens/p4u/p4u000364.jpg proliant 1500 [09:11] aivou: I have used it a little and what little I used I was very impressed :) You should also try http://spins.fedoraproject.org/security/ [09:12] backtrack is better ;) [09:12] luca__: there is no restriction by default so there is no need for an exception [09:13] luca__, check out zoneminder for ubuntu ! [09:13] iceroot: so ubuntu allows to every software the access on 80 if opened by ufw? [09:13] aivou: I recommend you pay for the service offered by backtrack. Believe me, it is worth it. [09:14] Ubuntu: zoneminder doesn't work with canon ip cameras, i tryed already [09:15] prov: btw I have a dualboot ubuntu/windows vista, does windows provide any backdoor or somekind of a security threat? [09:15] to linux, it is [09:15] luca__, if its an ip cam then it has its own interface ? you dont need app to view it just the ip! [09:16] windows is a backdoor and a security threat lol [09:16] lmao [09:16] ubuntu: i know, but to monitor and record multiple cameras i need [09:16] aivou: I do not know for sure but I do not trust code I cannot see. But there are plenty conflicts of interest to be concerned about, Microsoft is at it to make money and they will do what they can to ensure every copy is paid for, catch my drift? [09:16] and it wont work with zoneminder ? strange luca__ [09:17] luca__: Try motion [09:17] hi [09:17] Ubuntu: canon camera alre linux based, doesn't allow so see it without native programs [09:18] what model cam you got === ebrulf is now known as DaZ [09:19] aivou: I do not see windows being a window ;) to Linux. Whatever is done to access a windows box will give access to the ntfs partitions and not to Linux, If that is what you meant. [09:19] canon vb-c60 and canon vb-c50i [09:19] on moment my boy needs me brb [09:19] prov: yea i guess so [09:21] i am using canon printer i want 2 print my pages in black white but it don't show me the option [09:21] 33 ubuntu installs later and i'm finished ;-) [09:21] aivou: Anything else I might be able to help with? [09:21] what si a ubuntu box? [09:22] I do have a question about grub2 though. I would like to edit the order in which what OS is displayed. I read the documentation on the ubuntu wiki or help and I just didn't get it [09:22] prov: Guess not.. Thanks for your help! I'll be asking here if I need anything [09:22] aivou: Recap: get and install bastille and a firewall like firestarter. [09:23] sure [09:23] aivou: Adios [09:23] dustin, "box" refers to a computer, so "Ubuntu box" is like "Mac laptop". It's a computer that runs Ubuntu [09:23] Is there anyone here that might be willing to work with me on a sound problem? [09:24] i still do understand [09:24] i still dont understand....... [09:25] I am on a Toshiba notebook running 10.10 64 bit AMD and just installed the latest Skype for Ubuntu 10.10 and it had been working but tonight it or something took down my sound completely Skype and Ubuntu [09:25] dustin: are you using a windows pc / mac pc or windows laptop / mac laptop ? [09:26] luca__, are the cam working ? can you access there interface from a browser ? does the interface offer to upload to ftp server [09:27] luca__, http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_10.04_%28Lucid_Lynx%29_Desktop [09:27] on #winehq they told me :only root is able to bind to ports lower than 1024, and you should not run wine as root, alternative is to use setcap [09:28] ubuntu: thrust me, i tryed for a week, and my unaswered question is theyr forum === mRy is now known as Guest7849 [09:28] luca__, what did you need help with ? [09:28] bind port 80 [09:29] luca__: yes they are right ports lower than 1024 have to be bound from root and they are right in saying that you shouldn't run win as root [09:29] luca__, you want more than that ! [09:29] wine*** rather [09:30] slaeya: so, can you help me with the syntax of netcp? [09:30] setcap, sorry === tre is now known as treangle [09:30] hiya [09:30] <_marix> anyone know of a way in 10.10 to get usbsticks not to automount to /media/
