[00:00] AntiUSA: Your best bet is to reinstall. [00:00] fuck [00:00] !ohmy | AntiUSA [00:00] AntiUSA: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:00] hi [00:00] adac, not that I know of. I only shutdown when I have to, so... [00:00] will it reformat my drive? [00:00] will I lose everything I downloaded? [00:00] AntiUSA, read the questions carefully during the install. [00:01] AntiUSA: yes. Do you have a /home partition? [00:01] my "brother mfc 8300" printer is recognized, but not the scanner from it on xsane, does that mean i'm out of luck ? [00:01] is there a way to mount NTFS partition with read / write from live CD? [00:01] i am trying to run 'rm -rf /' and i get an error saying "cannot remove root directory /" [00:01] AntiUSA, if you read them, you will be allowed to resize the existing partitions. [00:01] Soskel, not in here. [00:01] not what in here?/ [00:01] PriceChild: can i install ubuntu to my hd without having to backup my files? i don't have the resources to back everything up.. [00:01] craigevil, do you mean that i change my debian to make it allow unstable [00:01] PriceChild: ??? [00:01] Soskel, don't ever post that command in here again. [00:01] PriceChild: what are you talking about [00:01] i need help running it [00:01] so I could make the current partition really small, and then move everything over from it? then delete it? [00:02] dabbill: You should be able to read/write ntfs from the live cd [00:02] debian sid/unstable really isnt unstable it just changes alot. ie has a lot of updates [00:02] Anyone know why windows disk check won't work after I booted ubuntu on disk? [00:02] any idea where PHP iCalendar is? [00:02] AntiUSA: Yes, you could [00:02] Soskel, that command will destroy your entire system. We're not helping you. [00:02] Odd-rationale: it says i dont have permission to write to it [00:02] php pear i would guess [00:02] how will I delete the partition at a later date? [00:02] Odd-rationale: it says read only file system [00:03] dabbill: Can you write to it as root? Are you root? [00:03] PriceChild: i don't have the resources to back up my harddrive.. how do i shrink my ntfs partition to allow room for the ubuntu partition without destroying my files. [00:03] AntiUSA: Use a live cd with gparted [00:03] i am useing sudo command [00:03] gparted? [00:03] Hi all, I know to use du to show listing of file sizes, but how do i show remaining free space? [00:03] I have the 7.10 live cd... [00:03] PriceChild: the / probably saved his but, my guess he can't write to it? [00:03] solexious: df -h? [00:03] AntiUSA: Good. GParted should be on there [00:03] yo_, resizing your partition risks losing all your files. Don't attempt it without backing up. [00:04] alright [00:04] Yay, I just booted Ubuntu for the first time... To be met by an "Out of range" message from my monitor? [00:04] ty [00:04] well this is ultra depressing... but thanks guys [00:04] maybe i can borrow a friends 80GB ipod lol [00:04] but/butt [00:04] AntiUSA: But, you should back up just in case [00:04] yo_, you dont destroy your files. just that if something unexpected happends you might lose them [00:04] I upgraded from 6.10 to 7.04, and mdadm gave me a warning to check mdadm.conf. Can someone look at my paste to examine the UUIDs? http://paste.ubuntu.com/4985/ I assume the UUIDs have to match between the two files, but they don't. Which one should I change? [00:04] n2diy, meh, ignore it. [00:04] i can't lose them lol [00:04] Cyntrox, looks like you want to run from command line, and get your xorg.conf sorted out [00:04] does ubuntu have a feature that will generate a 6 page essay for me? [00:05] neverblue, how do I do that? [00:05] Fingel: cat /dev/random > essay.txt [00:05] can ubuntu deal with iPods? [00:05] Fingel, yes, sudo aptitude install instant-essay :D [00:05] :D [00:05] yo_, yeah [00:05] yo_, then use Live CD till you find USB or CD-R /DVD-R where you can store important files . or use some comercial solution [00:05] Cyntrox, are you familiar with editing an xorg.conf ? [00:05] neverblue, no [00:05] my "brother mfc 8300" printer is recognized, but not the scanner from it on xsane, does that mean i'm out of luck ? [00:05] Cyntrox, do you have an Ubuntu Live CD ? [00:05] what about an ipod rambo? [00:06] an 80gb [00:06] after the essay I have to write some poems, Im going to cut and paste a large block of text from this channel and only use the words I find here [00:06] i have a 50 gb hd anyways lol [00:06] to partition. but so far fdisk /ubuntu paritioner was the best solution for me [00:06] Hi guys. I'm running the Ubuntu Live CD at the moment and am about to install, but I'd like a little help with partitioning. I'm not really familiar with it. Could someone suggest a good proposal for me? [00:06] should be some interesting poems [00:06] neverblue, it doesn't work, I installed via the alternate CD. I have Windows XP installed though [00:06] Odd-rationale: i can browse the NTFS partitions but dont have permission to do any thing with them [00:06] funny for a linux channel, ppl really mention Windows alot [00:07] Fingel: I think we are copyleft here, be careful. [00:07] Cyntrox, did you burn it then, or do you still have it around ? [00:07] NTFS write support is experimental, but if you want to try it install ntfs-tools (I think) [00:07] I still have a live CD. [00:07] I'm back [00:07] Fingel, not in Gutsy, its in the OS [00:07] can someone help me with connecting to the net from livecd? [00:07] yo_, if i where you i would start Live CD and install gnome paritioner and resize the parition manualy [00:08] yo_: yeah how do you connect to the internet usually? [00:08] neverblue: I still have a live CD, but when I tried using it last time I just got lots of errors after I pressed "install" [00:08] wireless internet.. [00:08] Cyntrox, then I would do some research with the type of video card you have, and what you need to change in your xorg.conf, but first you need a terminal or boot off the Live CD [00:08] yo_: bcm? [00:08] rambo3: is there a risk of loosing my files that way? [00:08] yes broadcom [00:08] Anyone know why windows disk check won't work after I booted ubuntu on disk? [00:08] yo_: Broadcom wirless card? [00:08] yo_: ok you need two files [00:08] yes [00:08] okay [00:08] Sindacious: check in ##windows [00:08] Cyntrox, using the Live CD, you will not be _installing_ but using it to edit/view your xorg.conf [00:08] Cyntrox: what type of errors? [00:08] yo_, you can lose your files by starting your computer , there is always risk [00:08] which ones? [00:09] yo_: ummm.... let me find the link one sec [00:09] how big is the risk rambo? [00:09] still working on getting my wireless to come back up after suspend/resume. Poking around in /etc/default/acpi-support, since some people wrote that adding "networking" to services would force it to be stopped then restarted. That didn't work, but now I'm looking at a line that says network cards are unloaded unless added to whitelist. Am I barking up the wrong tree here, or should I try adding the module responsible for my wireless? [00:09] Still getting CANNOT READ CD-ROM RELEASE at detect and mount part of install [00:09] neverblue: I have nVidia 7900 some weird letters [00:09] Starnestommy: I figured this might be the right place to ask seeing it didn't happen until after the Ubuntu boot [00:09] memory tested fine [00:09] rambo3: what is the risk? [00:09] Cyntrox, thats great :) [00:09] !netsplit [00:09] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [00:09] I notice that Pidegon (nee Gaim) does not come back cleanly after a suspend on Gutsy. anybody else see this? [00:09] ...fun [00:10] rambo3:is there anyway i can reduce the risk? [00:10] Can anyone suggest a good partition setup for my installation? [00:10] ouch [00:10] yo_: you still there> [00:10] As for errors: [00:10] ?

[00:11] alright then, how about this... how would I determine what module is being used / loaded / controls my wireless card... is there a command? Like, I dunno, lsmod | grep ireless [00:11] yo_, no i dont know [00:11] n2diy: I'm installing Ubuntu from the Live CD. I've got two hard disks of ~150GB in size each, both empty. [00:11] mm..

[00:13] n2diy: I was wondering what would be a good set-up to create manually. Are the only mandatory partitions "/" and "/swap"? I don't need to create a "/boot" or a "/tmp", for example? [00:13] okay guys, i need help, my ubuntu got b0rked big time [00:13] they are .deb files, you just run and pick install when it prompts :P [00:13] How do I kill a process in the terminal?

[00:22] since i'm having so many problems with the CD-ROM anyone know how to use an external USB Drive as a source for installation [00:22] Well, they're empty, but I'll try and describe the setup as best I can === maddoxnorris is now known as LOLZORZ [00:23] thanks all, but i just decided to try the CLI, and went into god mode lol [00:23] n2diy: Two hard drives, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb [00:23] sudo apt-get install skype [00:23] Estesark: What's on the old partitions?

[00:28] n2diy: Ah, hang on, I think I might have been trying to do something in the wrong way. I told you I was inexperienced at this. How much space should I assign to /, /swap, /boot and /tmp respectively? [00:28] and it gives a root shell [00:28] lol [00:28] is there a way to keep all the config files?

I'm still learning my linux. How do I view what's on the cd? /dev/cdrom or /cdrom/ ? [00:29] Estesark: let the partinon manager do that for you!? Why are you doing it manually when you have 300g of free space? [00:29] PriceChild, what other ways are there without setting a password for root?... oh yeah, sudo su [00:29] the layout choices are: 4 different types of dvorak, macintosh, international with dead keys, and alternative international (former us_intl), and russian phonetic [00:29] demonspork, best not to use them [00:29] :( [00:29] !sudo | demonspork [00:29] demonspork: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[00:36] <`Zigo[s]ity> Intro5pect: Just burn it onto a CD [00:36] pendrivelinux has a lot of neat tips and info. A lot of their guides are how to make a usb-pendrive boot a 'livecd' system. Not quite the same as installing to a usb drive. [00:36] Intro5pect: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [00:36] I've got an "Installing system" window, but it's tiny and shows no signs of progress - is this normal during installation?

[00:37] CANNOT READ RELEASE FILE crap [00:37] no one seemed to know how to fix it [00:37] so now i'm going to try from USB i guess [00:37] <`Zigo[s]ity> Intro5pect: Well try making another CD. For the USB drive to even work it needs to load drivers for it, which it can't do outside an operating system. [00:37] They cover live and persistent. A bit of nice info though.

[01:04] so quick question.. i was running ubuntu from livecd.. installed the packages for the broadcom controllers so i could connect to the internet, got to myspace and everything.. tried to install the package for xchat and it froze.. [01:04] how can i play a DVD movie ? Totem says i need some plugin, i have dvdplay0 installed, what else do i need ? thanks [01:04] what do i do? [01:04] iDivine, awswww.... i was || this close to falling asleep [01:04] I have firestarter installed but according to the program it is off [01:05] WhiteNerd I was trying to figure out how to give a user sudo rights when no sudo rights accounts exist. :) [01:05] from what i see, it seems like a pdf viewer [01:05] prasanna: No, you can read PDFs. However... you can export PDFs from OpenOffice. [01:05] whileimhere: then there are no active firewall rules and nothing needs to be done. [01:05] NB2000: I just used mount (took off the sudo) and it mounted the CD. I LS ed to it and the files are there. [01:05] Wiredtape: reboot into the recovery console, and cat /etc/passwd [01:05] NET||abuse, SO SORRY. But now part of the Update manager wont close the 'Applying Changes' part. [01:05] * NET||abuse loves selective narcolepcy :) [01:05] anyways, gtg! [01:05] Flannel, thanks :) [01:05] VartanS, I don't know about the vista bit , I can tell you that when you isntall ubuntu, you should try and have the drive you install on set as boot drive in the bios or else specify a different drive to install the boot menu on when you get to that step, otherwise you have grub spread over two hdd [01:05] WhiteNerd I guess that would work. I figured it need sudo power. [01:05] Wiredtape: It'll be in the first column of that file [01:06] okay I cant figure out why it shows my port closed with the Deluge program [01:06] who would i go on about doing that? when i open the pdf in openoffice it comes up as all text [01:06] iDivine, do "ps aux | grep apt" and paste the console output into that pastebin? [01:06] *how [01:06] whileimhere: because you didn't forward ports through your router? [01:06] whileimhere: try doing this: sudo iptables -F [01:06] can someone please help me with hamachi? [01:06] i'm really struggling. [01:06] after running 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server' how can i get a panel that will allow me to manage it. like i would in xampp in windows [01:06] its installed, but i'm lost :) [01:07] I also have quamachi installed for a gui. [01:07] Roaksoax: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57402/ [01:07] Hi. I was trying to install libgstreamer0.10-dev, but when I try apt-get it is saying: libgstreamer0.10-dev set to manual installed. Why is it so? [01:07] I forwarded my port with tcp and udp on my router [01:07] whileimhere: what port? [01:07] I'll keep this short. I can't get Ubuntu 7.10 installed. I have an emachines monitor hooked up to the onboard Nvidia 6150LE. This computer also doesn't have a newtork set up (wireless). The resolution is at 800x600 and can go no higher [01:07] the 'install' box exceeds 800x600. [01:08] whileimhere: and to what IP address? and what IP address does the machine currently have? [01:08] prasanna: You'd have to import it into a text file. This might be another option: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PDFedit . [01:08] * Pelo is trying to remove wine completely cause someting is terribly wrong with his install, it is getting messy [01:08] ICM: use the alternate install CD [01:08] I don't know anything about PDFedit... I think it's pretty new...

[01:08] so quick question.. i was running ubuntu from livecd.. installed the packages for the broadcom controllers so i could connect to the internet, got to myspace and everything.. tried to install the package for xchat and it froze.. [01:08] what do i do? [01:08] whileimhere: wow you have alot of rules: if you want to flush your iptables or firewall use: sudo iptables -F and that will leave you without firewall [01:08] NET||abuse, http://pastebin.com/m4fea35a9 [01:08] yo_: you can start by not repeating ;) [01:09] Oka [01:09] lmao [01:09] mneptok: is there.. any other way.. and doesn't the alternate install CD require an internet connection? [01:09] second test to run, do "top" in the console [01:09] Flannel, thanks, it worked :) [01:09] ICM: I ran into that. But I just guessed at what was at the bottom of the box, until I got it right. Hope you have better luck. It was a frustrating 3 hours. [01:09] does it have something to do with my RAM? [01:09] i only have 512 [01:09] Will that leave me open to anything? [01:09] see if anything is runing high cpu cycles , or if you have alot of % listed beside wa: [01:09] NB2000: Do you know how to unmount a CD? [01:09] and i know running from live cd takes up like 350k [01:09] ICM: you just need to download an .iso image and burn it [01:09] anyone at all use hamachi? [01:09] WhiteNerd umount instead of mount [01:09] whileimhere: flushing iptables will leave you a system without firewall... and open to anything [01:10] yo_: i was using the live installer and it kept freezing as well. i couldn't pinpoint it so i got the alternative instead [01:10] NB2000: Expected it to be unmount but it worked. [01:10] WhiteNerd depending on your version, you might try the "eject" command. [01:10] yo_, probably has to do with your ram, when you run the live cd you are infact running the entier os from your RAM you donT' have that much space to play around [01:10] i'll never use the live installer again i think [01:10] I did that and still get this on the port test "TCP port 24500 closed on 71.116.40.33" [01:10] yeah.. but i don't have stuff to backup my hd [01:10] so i can't install [01:10] <`Zigo[s]ity> yo_: Try installing the operating system first before you go installing everything, guaranteed it will solve your problem ;D. [01:10] whileimhere: what port? [01:10] whileimhere: and to what IP address? and what IP address does the machine currently have? [01:10] I dont know [01:10] can i use an SDcard as ram in ubuntu? [01:11] LOL this whole thing is confusing [01:11] whileimhere: then that's the problem ;) [01:11] iDivine, so how's it look? [01:11] yo_: you can use it as swap [01:11] swap? [01:11] NET||abuse, Don't understand. [01:11] I know I went into the DSL modem and changed my password and then added 24500 as TCP and UDP forwarding and then turned them on. [01:11] format it as linux swap. its parallel with virtual memory in windows [01:12] Im trying to use deluge to download a romset and of course it is slow because it thinks I am firewalled. [01:12] iDivine, on console, just type in "top" and hit enter, you get a listing of the processes with top cpu usage [01:12] ubuntu will detect the swap partition and use it. theoritically [01:12] it didn't do that tho [01:12] what's the process that hanging up there pretty high [01:12] yea, tried that, doens't seem as versatile as adobe [01:12] whileimhere: what IP address did you forward to? [01:12] might try crossover office [01:12] did you format the sdcard as swap? [01:12] whileimhere: and what IP address does your machine have? [01:12] how do i do that? [01:12] NET||abuse, I see synaptic, Would that be a update manager? [01:13] gparted [01:13] 192.168.1.46 [01:13] iDivine, for the moment i'd just do "sudo kill -9 6019" yeh, synaptic is update manager [01:13] prasanna, eioffice [01:13] what do i do with gparted? [01:13] where do i find it in linux? [01:13] wats taht?

[01:13] ok, give me sec [01:13] also [01:13] jrib, you familiar with hamachi [01:13] iDivine, it's those forked processes from synaptic [01:13] how do i connect to this chat with pidgin? [01:13] yo_: apt-get? [01:14] สวัสดีครับ [01:14] jrib, ? [01:14] it's on the live cd even [01:14] whileimhere: that's your current IP address? and you forwarded to it? and you told Deluge to use those ports? [01:14] iDivine, just kill them, apt is as tough as old boots, just run "sudo apt-get -f" afterward on the console, and it'll fix all your problems [01:14] how do i run this chat room from pidgin? i couldn't figure it out === manu_ is now known as manuquadros [01:14] its all chinese icesword [01:14] that would save me from having to do xchat [01:14] As far as I can tell yes.

[01:15] hi. i made a bad error. i clicked through the partition manager. i shut the system down upon realizing my error. i need to restore the old partition table. what tool do i need to use? [01:15] where do i put #ubuntu? [01:15] NET||abuse, E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[01:16] k [01:16] flowOver Depends what you want to do with it. What I use a "LAMP" server for is a database driven CMS website. Content Management System. [01:16] not a pdf exporter, but one that lets you add/edit text on an already created pdf document? [01:16] puff, yeh, i've got a long startup after the login dialog.. but i run avant-window-navigator/manager (can never remember what the real name is) and compiz and screenlets and rhythmbox and liferea and tomboy and xchat and firefox and beagled and ......... well you get the picture [01:16] i'm a web developer. i need a home platform [01:16] k brb [01:16] yo_: after you add account, you click on Join chat in the main menu and type the name of the channel [01:16] my brother tossed me ubuntu gutsy, but only the desktop edition === piju[PT] is now known as piju [01:16] flowOver You've got a great start. [01:17] prasanna, on that page,you see "english",just click on it [01:17] thank you. i've been doing it for a few years now though. never configured my own stack though. on windows i've always just used xampp [01:17] i need help configuring xorg.conf [01:17] no i got that, i'm looking at the features page [01:17] flowOver one more tool that might come in handy is phpmyadmin. [01:17] iDivine, you have to kill the synaptic instances first [01:17] so di you do "sudo kill -9 6019" yet? [01:18] !lamp > flowOver [01:18] iDivine, if you did already, then also "sudo kill -9 6025" then try "sudo apt-get -f" [01:18] !lamp [01:18] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. 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+) [01:18] flowOver web based access to your mysql databases and setting up access. [01:18] doesn't say specifically if it'll allow me to edit already created pdfs [01:18] hmmm those guides are useless though [01:18] I have a feeling flowOver knows about phpmyadmin :P [01:18] NET||abuse, Ha thanks. [01:18] flowOver: No they're not. They walk you through the entire setup process. [01:18] iDivine, all done? :) [01:18] flowOver: if you are going to administer a LAMP installation, you should really know how the config files work. [01:18] flowOver: Also, if you really are against setting it up, grab the server CD. It'll do it for you. [01:19] NET||abuse, E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:19] well just run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [01:19] flowOver: a server admin that needs a GUI is kinda like a surgeon that needs "cut along dotted line" hints ;) [01:19] anybody know the chat room for drupal [01:19] Need suggestion for mysql gui/browser for ubuntu - something like TOAD or SQLyog.... [01:19] homerthemighty, try #drupal [01:19] Flannel Good point. One click and go from the server CD. [01:19] thanks [01:20] ZephyrShaun: mysql-admin? [01:20] Flannel: lol yeah i'm about this close too doing that [01:20] iDivine, all that does is take the downloaded and incomplete installs of the packages or updates you were trying to apply and makes sure they get done [01:20] Pelo, any experience with hamachi (virtual private network)? [01:20] mneptok: i'm not exactly a server admin ;) i'm just a lowly php developer [01:20] NET||abuse, Cool, Thanks a lot. [01:20] thaks flannel, i'll check it out [01:20] frost0, none whatsoever [01:20] flowOver: just using tasksel to select the lamp stack is the same. (Which is what that 'useless' page tells you to do) [01:20] Pelo, thx anyway :) [01:20] i used taskell [01:21] no it didn't work [01:21] iDivine, the --configure -a is equivalent to "--configure --pending" switches you might see elsewhere [01:21] the apache2 i installed wiht other instructions is still installed and not doing php [01:21] so i'm following the starting over [01:21] flowOver: you need to enable mod_php in httpd.conf [01:21] * flowOver blinks [01:21] iDivine, ok, i'll say goodnight now,, i need to roll over and die :) [01:21] NET||abuse, Lol. ;) [01:21] * NET||abuse ..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz === Spec is now known as x-spec-t [01:22] Well I gave up on installing Gnome.

[02:16] mindheavy, build-essential is on the install cd you can use it as a repos just pop the cd in and you should be asked if you want to add it as a repository [02:16] foso: so hal is running. that's why you can;t start it [02:16] Pelo: excellent, thanks [02:16] What would be some cool ways to make money of a server farm?

[02:35] the drivers dont acually modify resolution, that is done by x [02:35] where is the xorg.conf located [02:35] gkrules: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [02:35] /etc/x11 [02:35] Pelo i disabled dbus, which turned off hal, i dont know how to partition to keep my settings, and i have spent lots of time on this, if theres a fix, that would be much less of a pain in the butt [02:35] thanks [02:35] gkrules: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:36] ok thanks [02:36] I always seem to be missing .so.4 files --- lIke libcurl.so.4 [02:36] anyway to fix that?

I think they have an extension for it, or something. [02:51] john, yes there is [02:51] JohnRobert: the instructions on the inkscape wiki look hard - in ubuntu i think it will be a little easier [02:52] hmm [02:52] what's up voodoo... there is another chilean ubuntu user [02:52] JohnRobert: ... But.. when I looked into this exact same thing about a year ago, nothing compared to the meeting share programs. :/ [02:53] meeting share programs? what are they?

[02:55] untermensch: Yes. Ubuntu is linux. [02:55] untermensch: ubuntu is a linux distro (distrobution) [02:56] no i'm sayig.. [02:56] Odd-rationale: no it isnt [02:56] like do you i have to have linux first before ubuntu [02:56] err.. Linux is a form of Ubuntu, but if you're asking if there are live cd's, there is. [02:56] or can i go strait from windows ? [02:56] Odd-rationale: it is a distro (linux is a kernel) [02:56] what? [02:56] ubuntu is a linux distribution [02:56] !linux > untermensch [02:56] i understand that u don't need to use linux to run ubuntu... [02:56] ka2: OK. [02:56] ka2, no, more complex, but not as logical, the root directory should be divided into "files for the system", "files for the user", and "files for programs" [02:56] linux is not a form of ubuntu [02:56] http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu [02:56] ik what ubuntu is [02:56] lol wtf [02:56] :p [02:56] ack. I blew that one, sorry. [02:56] but must i install linux first ? [02:57] lmao [02:57] ubuntu IS linux [02:57] ive heard it all [02:57] omg.. [02:57] i understand that it's linux [02:57] untermensch: No, you can download the live cd. [02:57] untermensch: You will have Linux when you install ubuntu [02:57] ok [02:57] it's a form of linux [02:57] thank you [02:57] You can run it like that. [02:57] untermensch: thats like asking if you need to have NT kernal to install windows [02:57] lol wtf [02:57] i know it's a form of ubuntu [02:57] kernfreak: /usr = user apps, /home files for the user, /* files for the system [02:57] linux might be the kernel or a distro [02:57] it comes with it [02:57] http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu] [02:57] it's a generic term [02:57] :p [02:57] no no, install bsd first to get linux [02:57] I need to burn mp3s in k3b using regular ubuntu. What's the package I'm missing? I thought it was kubuntu-restricted-extras, but there's no such package [02:58] underwatercow, if you want to install ubuntu you need to have a ubuntu cd. if you start up with that cd that will pretty much do everything [02:58] JohnRobert: no its a kernel [02:58] then uduntu to use linux from bsd onto the kernel shell [02:58] !linux [02:58] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [02:58] imeen untermensch [02:58] heh [02:58] Linux (commonly pronounced IPA: /ˈlɪnəks/ in English; variants exist[1]) is a Unix-like computer operating system. Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free software and open source development: typically all underlying source code can be freely modified, used, and redistributed by anyone.[2] [02:58] untermensch: This is my fault, sorry. :( [02:58] kernel != operating system [02:59] Transposed two words... [02:59] kernel is a part of an os [02:59] but i can go windows -> ubuntu. i don't have to go like windows -> suse linux -> ubuntu ? [02:59] kernfreak: bsd sucks [02:59] untermensch: You can do Windows --> Ubuntu [02:59] mmk [02:59] untermensch: no, ubuntu runs on it's own [02:59] no. In fact, you don't even need to install it to see it run, untermensch. [02:59] see that's what i wanted [02:59] ka2, acually no, one application stores files in different dirs on the hd, whereas in windows one folder under Program Files is devoted to that app, making it easier to find binarys and docs relating to that app [02:59] suse linux is now called openSUSE [02:59] ubuntu doesn't require anything else [02:59] * Dr_willis wants to do Windows -> C64 [02:59] ka2, bsd sucks? [02:59] lmao [02:59] untermensch, ubuntu is like suse [02:59] i didn't know if you had to install regular ass linux to build ontop of that to run ubuntu [02:59] at what? user freindly yes it sucks [03:00] is it easy to use, nope [03:00] untermensch: no, it's much more easy than that [03:00] yep [03:00] kernfreak: not userfriendliness [03:00] ok [03:00] cause i've been having problems with the cd [03:00] and i was wondering if it was my current os [03:00] its not made for that === _trucMuche is now known as trucMuche [03:00] ***Chris0 wants to do Windows -> !Windows [03:00] cause of course. windows is shit [03:00] untermensch: what problems [03:00] untermensch, if you try to install from alternate cd that will be better i guess [03:00] ka2: i can' t get the iso to burn onto a cd.. and i'm to the point where i think my cd drive is bad cause i've tried everything [03:00] freebsd wasnt made to be freindly to the user [03:01] rather try pcbsd [03:01] its a change [03:01] Hey, can somebody help me? I'm having trouble logging into a KDE session. [03:01] Are there any gotcha's for installing perl / CPAN (running as user) in gutsy? [03:01] untermensch: that isnt an ubuntu problem [03:01] hey, hello everybody....! [03:01] kernfreak: its whole userspace is icky [03:01] untermensch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [03:01] ka2: i didn't think so. bu i wasn't sure [03:01] I'm currently at the console using BitchX. [03:01] no, its not something you used to, its uncomfortable [03:02] !Language | ;) [03:02] ;): Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:02] just like linux was the first time u tried it [03:02] that was just uncalled for, ka2. :P [03:02] pkazakoff: what's the issue? X not running? KDM not starting? [03:02] i need help getting my hdtv to work with linux [03:02] kernfreak: no i liked it :) [03:03] ubuntu was your first distro? [03:03] i've tried the nvidianewbieguide, but no help [03:03] cnstarz, what happened? [03:03] kernfreak: no [03:03] X seems to run fine. I get the login screen, but when KDM loads, it reaches the "Starting System Services" stage and quits back to the session login screen. [03:03] cause if you would have tried it back in the day [03:03] yeah, I found windows more uncomfortable.. and debian was my first... ripped me a new one... [03:03] you wouldnt say the same thing [03:03] can i talk to you in the xubuntu channel? [03:03] kernfreak: mandrake back in 2004 [03:03] k [03:03] my first, damn [03:03] debian woody. ( ouch. ) [03:03] oops [03:03] what's better... xubuntu or ubuntu ? [03:03] darn [03:03] people need to stop making new version control systems. [03:04] untermensch: personal preference [03:04] untermensch: Depends. You hae the choice. [03:04] I think my first *nix was made out of stone [03:04] true [03:04] storm-zen: I can relate. I think I installed debian in my first month, and .... looked at that $. Installed redhat, did a few lfs builds, then came back :) [03:04] kernfreak: lol [03:04] pkazakoff: whoa...man that one's over my head...I haven't dealt much with KDE in years [03:04] How can i add background picture to my server? [03:04] Can someone tell me how to enable ftp so my 6.10 box can accept requests? [03:04] in firefox, i open a torrent and it asks what program to use. how do i add transmission to that list? [03:04] untermensch: The difference is the Desktop Envirenment. Ubuntu uses gnome, xubuntu uses xfce [03:04] nickrud: Hehe... My experience was a little more devastating. Stayed with core until 3 days ago, and still didn't want to go to Ubuntu because I knew they were related. :P [03:05] flowOver: I think you can do it inside the firefox preferences [03:05] no plug and play, i think all *nix needs to be glued together a lil better " a lil more integration" between apps [03:05] you can do it from that panel, but when i get to the menu to choose the application, i can't find transmission in the filesystem and the search tool isn't working [03:05] kernfreak: this is happening alot with linux these days [03:05] well, i'll see if I can help myself by browsing around a bit in lynx. this feels so retro. [03:06] kernfreak: mainly through dbus [03:06] app integration is bad [03:06] yea but just when you think things are going somewhere, someone reinvents the wheel again [03:06] pkazakoff: try using wget + nano as your web browser ;) its worse [03:06] destroys choice [03:06] no it dont [03:06] * nickrud just knew bruenig would say that :) [03:06] kernfreak: no not really [03:07] ka2: wget + vi [03:07] mm [03:07] kernfreak: dbus is standard now, the linux hardware abstraction layer uses it [03:07] biezom: questions? [03:07] chris0: that is worse still [03:07] !offtopic [03:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:07] at least wget + html2text + vi [03:07] chris0: wget + ed === |dc0m| is now known as chetnick [03:07] chris0: beat that ;) [03:07] m [03:08] ka2: wget | less [03:08] wget plus vi :P [03:08] how can i reinstall ubuntu without redoing the entiwindows partitionre disk i want to maintain my [03:08] who is for an opens source windows clone? muahahahaha [03:08] no html2text, html isnt that bad [03:08] ka2: what do you mean "standard"? I for instance do not use it [03:08] jane_: been there [03:08] kernfreak: try reactos [03:08] naaa kidding [03:08] kernfreak: reactos.org [03:08] i havent used windows outside of a bot in my *nix boxes for years [03:09] kernfreak: i used to have it in a vm [03:09] bot = box [03:09] hi [03:09] !welcome | kimberly [03:09] kimberly: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [03:09] my wife uses the vm [03:09] i have no need for windows nemore [03:09] kernfreak: but i got rid of it after having activation issues and not being bothered to call m$ [03:09] !windows [03:09] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [03:09] kernfreak: its good for seeing how better *nix is [03:10] i like bug #1 [03:10] there is ways around activation in windows through a vm [03:10] nm [03:10] i dont know much about this linux but learning just cant seem to copy a cd for my other ailing puter [03:10] kernfreak: you meen the oem bios one? extracting it out of your bios [03:10] kimberly: an iso? [03:10] kimberly: try installing gnomebaker , it can copy cd's for you [03:10] kernfreak: my computer didnt come with windows - homebuilt :) [03:11] I am about to switch over to cable modem and was told it would be best to get my own cable modem.... whats the best modem to get? I am also curious about uncapping the modem.. [03:11] yes i have it downloaded to desktop but cannot burn it on any program [03:11] !burn | kimberly [03:11] kimberly: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [03:11] kimberly: right click the iso, and select burn to disc [03:11] JosiahW: try #ubuntu-offtopic [03:11] tried all of them [03:11] how do I change my password on the nickserv?

[03:12] underwatercow: try asking on #help [03:12] ka2: crap sorry I forgot about the channel... will do. [03:12] says no disc in drive [03:12] kimberly: are you sure the disk is empty? [03:12] nickrud: thanks [03:12] yes brand spankin new every ten i bought ha ha [03:13] have an hp cd writer plus [03:13] reads all disks [03:13] is there a way to get find to omit the first result that it returns? [03:14] kimberly, are you in the right group to be allowed using the cd burner? [03:14] panfist: probably, whatever it is [03:14] panfist: the first way that I can think of is to write a bash script.... [03:14] huh/??? group admin === LeGreffi3R_ is now known as LeGreffi3R [03:15] kimberly: How about group optical ? [03:15] Is there anyone in here who knows about Linux security and auth.log who can private with me? I have noticed some log entries that seem suspicious to me... [03:15] nickrun im trying to do "find somepath -type d -exec rm -rf '{}' \;" to find all the directories within a directory and remove all of them, but find returns the initial path first, so that command just removes the whole directory, instead of all the directories in it [03:15] nickrud* [03:15] jane i am not sure what that is.. i am just new to this just learning unix lang. [03:16] panfist: why not just rmdir */ ? [03:16] Anyone know a decent GUI-frontend for gzip? [03:16] kimberly, are you alone on this system or have you made several users there? [03:16] i cant get my video driver to install. i modified the xorg.conf according to the readme instructions but when i do it will only boot into the desktop login [03:16] fredmv: fileroller [03:16] what does */ mean [03:16] ka2, i wont comment on things like vista activation bypasses or the like, but i will say, inside a vm, the host can do amaizing thing to the guest [03:17] in fact i knew nothing about all this i bought a hp pavilloin someone tried to load xp on i wiped the drive downloaded unbuntu [03:17] panfist: it's a glob that will match directories [03:17] panfist: try echo */ [03:17] When I try to set my resolution to 1280x1024, my desktop size increases, but my resolution only changes to 1024x768, so I have to scroll the borders of the screen to see everything. How can I get normal 1280x1024? [03:17] Is there a better place to go to ask about Linux security? [03:17] thanks chris0... totally forgot about that. [03:17] panfist: maybe something like for f in `ls -1d *` ; do ; done [03:17] fredmv: no prob [03:17] panfist: that is, ls -1d /path/to/folder/* [03:17] jamesinator, does your monitor support that resolution [03:17] I am loving this so far [03:17] kernfreak: Yes [03:17] underwatercow: Security in general, yeah, but for actual details you're probably better off here. [03:18] underwatercow, maybe #linux? or #ubuntu-server? [03:18] nickrud i think i will just try the rmdir */ [03:18] kimberly, what you trying to do know exactly? [03:18] panfist: ah, missed jrib;s better [03:18] copying a cd or dvd? [03:18] * kernfreak adds voice to irc [03:18] hey nathan did you used to work are you in vernon? [03:18] guys, what is SOL in s4 in my bios settings do? [03:18] puff, Scunizi: I have noticed log entries that are VERY suspicious, and I want to verify that they are, in fact, what they appear and a good course of action to take, if any [03:19] underwatercow: What motivates your question? [03:19] panfist: the answer to your original question about find seems to be to append '-mindepth 1' [03:19] underwatercow: Ah, well, yeah, then this is probably the place. #linux can also be useful. [03:19] I gots a question: How do I install tar.gz uncompiled source code packages? [03:19] zachalink: what are you trying to install? [03:19] underwatercow: What are you seeing? Start with which log files. [03:19] songbird [03:19] puff: auth.log in particular [03:19] underwatercow, You can paste the log to paste bin for puff to look at. [03:19] zachalink, decompress, ./configure, make, make install [03:19] make sure deps are met first [03:20] erm.. anybody got an answer? what does "SOL in S4" from my bios do? [03:20] jrib thank you [03:20] zachalink: you need to sudo kernfreak's make install [03:20] zachalink: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird [03:20] kernfreak, he will need build essentials too [03:20] Is there any security risk to me posting my auth.log file? It will reveal my computer name, etc. [03:20] errghh, this is ubuntu [03:20] Presario: I don't have anything useful to contribute to that. I can crack plenty of jokes about what SOL means, though [03:20] zachalink: I'd be a bit wary of that script though [03:21] yes, sudo it, i would usually su root [03:21] underwatercow: There's always a risk, but in this case probably not a huge one. Make sure you use pastebin and make sure you mark it for th e shortest cache time. [03:21] kernfreak: Any other blinding insights into how to fix this? [03:21] jrib: how come? [03:21] puff: alright, let me paste it... [03:21] kernfreak: apparently su root is considered illegal here [03:21] underwatercow: If you're really not comfortable, then do a search&replace on your domain name and your ip address in the log before oy post it. [03:21] zachalink: because I have not read, so I can't tell you it is safe [03:21] chris0, seems that way, ubuntu sudos everything, you can however login as root [03:22] in gmd, but you have to enable it [03:22] gmd = gdm [03:22] jrib: thank you for the link and help [03:22] puff: what is a good paste bin address, I always forget it [03:22] yes but if you say that here ubotu yells at you. I'm not sure why.... [03:22] underwatercow: pastebin.com. [03:22] why? [03:22] puff: too logical ;-D [03:22] lol [03:22] !su [03:22] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[03:24] kernfreak: yes [03:24] zachalink: dont [03:24] lol, true. I'm reading that it takes like 10 hrs. to set it up from beginning to end. They assume nothing. [03:24] Compile the kernel, yadda...

You got anything else loaded like skype, gizmo.. something that opens ports? Turn off UPNP [03:43] HI there I install ubuntu server Is apache2 accessible by the world by default? How can I make Apache2 deny everyone but 192.168.1 ip's? [03:43] mike1980: it is world-accessible by default [03:43] okaasan: let firefox install it for you :) [03:43] Indy, fdisk /mbr works as well, dont mess with windows enough to know every command [03:43] can someone please help me with grep, i want to only output abc in here: echo \$_SESSION[\'abc\']\=\'hello\'\;\$_SESSION[\'asd\']\=\'qwerty\'\; | grep -Riohe '$_SESSION\[\(.*\)\]' | sed "s/^\$_SESSION\['\(.*\)'\?\]/\1/" [03:43] ka2 he's got 64bit [03:43] chris0: i do a LOT of work command-line also... for example: i use irssi, rtorrent, and finch. but for some reason gnome-terminal is the only one that interacts with all 3 programs appropriately [03:43] Can someone help me get wine to work? it freezes any time i try to do anything with it and my friend thinks its because of my video driver. [03:44] Starnestommy: ok thanks you know how I cand allow just 192 ip's [03:44] Skullmonkey: what video driver are you running? [03:44] mike1980: I'm not sure how to do that, but someone in this channel or #apache might know [03:44] kgx: Try #regex. [03:44] Starnestommy: ok thanks [03:44] Default sources.list file for 7.10? I think my upgrade of a server is incomplete [03:44] Skullmonkey: what app? [03:44] Ein1025: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8378 [S3 UniChrome] Integrated Video (rev 01) [03:44] storm-zen: thanks [03:44] np. [03:44] Skullmonkey: not video card, application [03:44] anything wine related [03:44] #regex [03:44] PMantis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57425/ . How did you upgrade? [03:45] Skullmonkey: not everything works under wine [03:45] err.. /join #regex . [03:45] :p [03:45] lol [03:45] i cant d anything wine [03:45] typo [03:45] what is the equivalent of windows explorer in ubuntu... [03:45] Ububegin: nautilus? [03:45] I have ubuntu 7.10, and 2 cpus selected in VMware optiokns [03:45] Ububegin: read the ubuntu help [03:45] Ububegin: nautilus or konqueror [03:45] Ububegin: nautils? Go to Places -> Home [03:45] it freezes my comp even when i try to edit options [03:45] or thunar [03:45] but when I check XP proc (the host) the guest will only use 50% proc [03:45] any ideas? [03:45] Wow, this place is alive in the evening (in the US)... [03:46] Thunar is awesome, but i find it rather useless on Gnome, because Nautilus is already installed... [03:46] PMantis: update your mirror appropriately of course [03:46] what device is my network card usually so i can check if its present? [03:46] storm-zen: this place si alive 24/7.. no kidding. [03:46] I have sound thru xmms but none thru videos . any ideas? [03:46] IndyGunFreak: but nautilus doesnt have that tree kinda structure in the left hand side... [03:46] yes it does [03:46] Ububegin: yes it does, you need to set it in the settings for nautilus [03:46] tesmar: that's how vmware works [03:46] and what package might I dpkg-reconfigure in the hopes of "reinstalling" my network card? [03:46] hello [03:46] Skullmonkey: which programs this is important to help solve it [03:47] jrib: Of course. thanks! [03:47] tesmar: it *emulates* two processors [03:47] TurtleOfDoom: no it doesnt [03:47] ka2: its the wine program itself. it freezes my comp when i try to even change options or start it [03:47] it doesn't [03:47] TurtleOfDoom: it uses your existing ones [03:47] you sure [03:47] becasue i have the same thing [03:47] SkullMonkey, COMPILE it muahahahahahaha [03:47] j/k [03:48] i'm having trouble with a Linksys WMP54G pci wireless driver. any suggestions? I used the .INF from the install cd [03:48] compile [03:48] Skullmonkey: can you start it from the command line and pastebin the output [03:48] Ububegin: open Nautilus(Places/Home).. and where it likely says Places on the left, click it, and choose Tree [03:48] my amarok says I can't play mp3's..how can I fix it? [03:48] ka2: no it freezes then also [03:48] install mp3 support [03:48] synaptic [03:48] underwatercow: Okay, first of all, yeah, looks a bit sketchy. First of all, 68.208.116.2 appears to be mail and primary DNS server for florenceal.org. So user logins from there don't really make sense, I would block that IP address at your router. [03:48] Skullmonkey: no output? [03:48] bill_: did you install it from the CD or did you copy it onto your computer? [03:48] copy to computer [03:48] underwatercow: Second, make sure you have disabled external root login on your box. [03:49] puff: that should be disabled by default, right? [03:49] underwatercow: Yeah. [03:49] puff: then it's still disabled [03:49] ka2: i cant type wine in terminal without my computer freezing [03:49] are there any gOS support channels on this ircnet? [03:49] bill_ you need the INF and any other files in the same folder as well [03:49] underwatercow: Okay then. [03:49] it's a new card so I tried the XP and Vista INF file..no go invalid driver [03:49] IndyGunFreak: yeah,sweet ...just like windows but w/o the annoying crashes... thanks,dude [03:49] hi all, anybody here with experience running ubuntu as a guest in VMWARE SERVER? [03:49] Skullmonkey: your wine is really broken [03:49] I have ubuntu 7.10, and 2 cpus selected in VMware optiokns [03:49] Ububegin: no sweat.. [03:49] Skullmonkey:try reinstalling wine [03:49] ok [03:49] but when I check XP proc (the host) the guest will only use 50% proc [03:49] I will retry [03:49] Skullmonkey, how old is that pc? processor speed/type and memory? [03:49] bill_: ok [03:50] ka2: already have. my friend think its my video driver [03:50] tesmar: thats a vmware problem not ubuntu [03:50] Hey guys is there any program I can use to make a copy of a data dvd? [03:50] underwatercow: Third, who is florenceal.org? It may be somebody's cable modem box, in which case they're probably running windows and have been zombied. [03:50] k [03:50] Skullmonkey: it wont be that [03:50] i cant get my video driver to install. [03:50] hi! I am trying compile nvidia driver and get it error /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h does not exist ... can anyone help me?? [03:50] biabia: which video card? [03:50] !nvidia > killown (read the private message from ubotu) [03:50] I have data in a dvd and need to make a copy of it [03:50] its a vanta nv6 [03:50] killown: don't compile it [03:50] sort of old [03:50] How can I make Apache2 allow only LAN connects from the network [03:50] Hmmm, maybe my sources.list is ok... but I still can't find mythtv-common in gutsy [03:51] jrib kernel slash version === SomeHelp is now known as nemil2k5 [03:51] biabia: really old - nvidia drivers dont support that [03:51] biabia: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?product=426795&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&dest_page=product&docname=c00193732 [03:51] underwatercow: Whois says it's the city of florence utilities in Alabama, and lists a phone number for them, so you [03:51] mike1980: #apache people couldn't help? [03:51] killown: huh? [03:51] it has not binary drivers nvidia [03:51] underwatercow: So you might want to call them about this. [03:51] dublpawsL no one there [03:51] dublpaws: no one there [03:51] ew [03:51] ka2: are you sure? [03:51] puff: yeah... think it's just random attacks? [03:51] killown: sudo aptitude install linux-headers [03:52] underwatercow: Most likely, yeah. Unless you know that somebody has it in for you. [03:52] I have installed it [03:52] chris...that did the trick... [03:52] 2.6.23-slash4.0 [03:52] ka2 ya. i downloaded a legacy driver and installed it. editing xorg,conf with no backup and it wouldnt boot into gui. lucky i remembered which changes i made [03:52] puff: I just might call them... and no, no one has it out for me to my knowledge ;-D [03:52] does anyone know what package sets up basic networking so I can try to reconfigure it? [03:52] bill_: good. I went through the same issue [03:52] Skullmonkey: 99% [03:52] underwatercow: It might be that in some way, whoever hacked that system traced back to you and is trying to exploit your system. [03:52] ka2: what do you suggest then? [03:53] puff: any idea how they would have my information? or could it just have been routed through even? [03:53] killown: why don't the linux-restricted-modules' nvidia driver work? === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq [03:53] killown: ubuntu 8.04? [03:53] killown: or self compiled? [03:53] chris0 linux-restricted work in this kernel? [03:53] Ok. I've installed my wireless driver using ndiswrapper. Its present and I am able to locate several different wireless networks. I was able to connect to my own one time, and after a reboot I have not been able to connect again. I am not able to obtain an IP on startup and have tried everything from disabling encryption and changing the ESSID. Im really confused on why I cannot connect. Can anybody help me? [03:53] anyone here good with apache? [03:53] ka2 a special kernel for desktop [03:54] wanna help???? [03:54] killown: where from? [03:54] killown: not sure... [03:54] I want to develop my C++ project with GTK. what package I would to download? [03:54] http://hqxriven.wordpress.com/2008/02/24/kernel-slash-40-compilado-para-o-kxubuntu-710/ [03:54] mike1980: #apache [03:54] underwatercow: I'm not sure what your second question means. As to the first, it could be random, or it could be that somebody behind that domain (or some other box they hacked) has email from you,e tc, or some reason that they think they might be able to exploit your system. [03:54] ok thnaks [03:54] np mike1980 :) [03:54] killown: it's probably not supported, but you could always try manually installing the driver from nvidia,com [03:54] killown: any reason you cant use the ubuntu one? [03:54] hello [03:54] where to download that gnome 2.18 virtual machine file [03:54] underwatercow: Not something special, more likely they ran a grep or something, looking for patterns. [03:55] chris0 I am do it [03:55] icesword: gnome 2.18 = old [03:55] anybody know how can I connect to koalamud servers as a client? [03:55] underwatercow: Have you checked all your accounts, etc? [03:55] I want to develop my C++ project with GTK. what package I would to download? [03:55] ka2,i like old ,coz it is small [03:55] underwatercow: If you haven't been penetrated yet, you might want to think about using something like tripwire. [03:55] ka2: can you suggest for me to do something? [03:55] Khajavi: will check - your using gtkmm right? [03:55] puff: what is tripwire? puff: would a software based firewall like iptables still have allowed these attempts? [03:55] Skullmonkey: try #winehq [03:55] killown: then I don't know... I'm not sure when it comes to custom kernels. [03:55] Can anyone help? [03:55] Khajavi: I think libgtk2.0-dev [03:55] ka2: they havent helped [03:56] and said to come here [03:56] Skullmonkey: report it as a wine bug then [03:56] ok [03:56] what app could do command line burning of a file/folder to cdrom? [03:56] time for lunch,goodbye [03:56] tripwire was the research project that first created this sort of thing. You'd be looking for not necessarily tripwire itself, but some tripwire-like integrity checker. Basically it does a bunch of cryptographically strong checksums on all your files. You keep the tripwire checksums and the checking software offline. If you suspect a hack, you run tripwire against your system to see if any of the binaries, etc, have been altered. [03:56] Khajavi: using c gtk or c++ gtk? [03:56] ka2 so i have given up on it. i was hoping to run stepmania but i think its a lost [03:56] AngryElf: you would use genisoimage to make the iso, then wodim to burn it [03:56] hi, I have random lockups on thinkpad r52(1849-4wu). using 2.6.22-14-generic (Ubuntu 7.10) version of Linux kernel. I am suspecting the wireless driver, is there a way to turn on logging on a module? [03:57] AngryElf: or mkisofs or cdrecord (I don't remember what cd tools ubuntu uses) [03:57] biabia: that card is **old** it probably wouldnt handle that [03:57] Skullmonkey, you could make a machine like that dual boot for your windows apps/games? [03:57] Ka2: c++ [03:57] underwatercow: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/49 [03:57] puff: sounds useful, I'll look into it... thanks. So do you think I should still block the ip address in the router? or would getting iptables back up be enough along with contacting the florceal.org? [03:57] lol. ya i know, now. i was hoping for the best [03:57] underwatercow: Yes. [03:58] underwatercow: I think you should block that IP at the router, why not? THough you shouldn't assume that will protect you. [03:58] underwatercow: Do you understand the basic theory behind iptables, ipchains, firewalls, etc? [03:58] Khajavi: build-essential, libgtk2.0-dev, libgtkmm.0-dev [03:58] puff: at a basic level, yes... I have been using firestarter to manage it [03:59] Hm, I wonder. [03:59] muahahahahahah [03:59] kia2: if I want to write c and java ? [03:59] when i open some applications it edits the /etc/hosts file and pc starts to work slowly ,,, how to deny the access to write to these files... [03:59] Khajavi: java? [03:59] a lil jack daniells, and gcc, and im sure to jaz up this system [04:00] Look, all a firewall or a packet filter does is make it harder for unapproved communication to happen. [04:00] kia: I dont like swing [04:00] Khajavi: java sdk from sun. gtk isnt available for java from the ubuntu repos [04:00] Khajavi: swing isnt fun enough for you? [04:01] khahavi i know how you can get gtk for java [04:01] but i cant say [04:01] * kernfreak shuts up [04:01] oloughlin: GTK is better :-D [04:01] kernfreak: compile it? [04:01] muahaha [04:02] Khajavi: pythons better than java :) [04:02] kernfreak: not very helpful, that ;) [04:02] I like how java is clerly structured [04:02] i really think java sux neway [04:02] puff: would you recommend unplugging my router and letting my ip address change as well? [04:02] kernfread: what do i do fo java? [04:02] i cant say [04:02] hi [04:02] underwatercow: Wouldn't hurt. [04:02] * Scunizi is going to relax and watch American Idol with his lovely wife. [04:02] oloughlin75: python much more so [04:02] puff: alright, thanks for your help [04:02] you can use the GTK toolkit with java? [04:03] :-( [04:03] Khajavi: Install the sun java package. What do you want to do with java? [04:03] there are gtk bindings for just about everything [04:03] try c# [04:03] underwatercow: Scunzi's advice is also good. [04:03] hi everybody any happy people here ? [04:03] puff: which advice? [04:03] I want to set java app with Gnome [04:03] i rather like it, i prefer c, c++, and perl [04:03] ka2: I like curly braces and semicolons. The syntax is clear (although verbose)m which I don't see in python [04:04] matthias heh; you have a support question? [04:04] Khajavi: not easy [04:04] khajavi there are "i believe" java bindings for gtk [04:04] underwatercow: underwatercow, I may be wrong but it sounds like someone's got it out for you.. is your machine on the dmz of the router or do you have all the ports locked down in the router? if so they've breached it and are pinging you direct. You got anything else loaded like skype, gizmo.. something that opens ports? Turn off UPNP [04:04] would anyon know why all of my media players would crash nomatter what video i try to run. mplayer vlc? All of them just disappeaar right after loading [04:04] yes, you are good at firewalls [04:04] bazhang [04:04] puff: oh yeah... I'll do that too... thanks [04:04] Khajavi: its easy in python, c, c++ [04:04] bitlogical: maybe a corrupt video file? [04:04] Khajavi: but not java [04:05] but you have to build them if they are not supplied as ubuntu packages, c# "if you know java" would be an easy transition [04:05] bitlogical try running them from the terminal and see what error messages you get [04:05] when i open some applications it edits the /etc/hosts file and pc starts to work slowly ,,, how to deny the access to write to these files... [04:05] Khajavi: what are you trying to make? [04:05] Khajavi: and c# [04:05] Ok. I've installed my wireless driver using ndiswrapper. Its present and I am able to locate several different wireless networks. I was able to connect to my own one time, and after a reboot I have not been able to connect again. I am not able to obtain an IP on startup and have tried everything from disabling encryption and changing the ESSID. Im really confused on why I cannot connect. Can anybody help me? [04:05] underwatercow: so, security basics: all security exploits depend on two things: 1) getting bytes onto your box, 2) getting your box to execute the bytes. [04:05] matthias: you want to configure a firewall? manually or with a gui? [04:05] ok [04:05] can anyone tell me how to install something like flash so that all users can use it? i've currently got an admin account and several 'desktop' users, but they cant view or install flash [04:05] install mono [04:05] underwatercow: Therefore, security is comprised of a) controlling what gets onto your box, b) controlling what gets executed on your box. [04:05] try it out [04:05] Khajavi: diveintopython.org, monoproject.org [04:05] bazhang: what firewall includes trapwire, i really do not matter prefer gui but it all depends i guess ... [04:05] if you know java, c# should come easy [04:05] underwatercow: Hm, maybe I should write this out long form and send you the URL. [04:06] puff: that would work too :) [04:06] kernfreak: and python even [04:06] kia: first i want to develop my c++ project for my university but I am learning java. [04:06] kernfreak: or perl (yech) [04:06] bazhaNG I AM TI USED TO ZONEALARM ... [04:06] is it normal to get "Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled" messages from the kernel? [04:06] Khajavi: use swing :) [04:06] Khajavi: you can install diveintopython from the repos-- it is a free ebook [04:06] sorry for the capital letter ... [04:06] matthias: iptables is better [04:07] well i have an tricky question as well [04:07] can anyone tell me how to install something like flash so that all users can use it? i've currently got an admin account and can use flash websites, but i've got several 'desktop' users, and they cant view or install flash [04:07] Khajavi: swing can be either very easy or very hard, depending on what your doing :) [04:07] kia: python is very is and interactive: a will get it soon [04:07] yea, i know perl, c, c++ and some python, i am moving twords managed code, much easier to work with [04:07] matthias: what question [04:07] when i open some applications it edits the /etc/hosts file and pc starts to work slowly ,,, how to deny the access to write to these files... [04:07] oloughlin75: gtk similar [04:07] ka2 it can restrict accesss and have some kind if tripwire in it ? [04:07] matthias ah okay--well linux has something called iptables--a bit different than the windows one--a decent front end is called firestarter you can install it from the repos [04:07] kernfreak: so python or c# [04:07] matthias: tripwire???? [04:07] oloughlin: I know. thank but it is interperter [04:07] dont know enough about python to compare it [04:08] Khajavi: no it is just automatticly compiled into a .pyc file [04:08] ka2 yes if someone gets into my system than i kan go back and see when and what was maed ... [04:08] Khajavi: python is interpreted, I think [04:08] yes [04:08] python, perl, php [04:08] kia2: compliling pyhthon is interesting fo me [04:08] matt3453: you have to sudo to use flash? any reason to set it up that way? [04:08] oloughlin75: no it just acts like it [04:09] oloughlin75: it uses bytecode like java & c# [04:09] oloughlin75: as .pyc files [04:09] ka2 trap wire i mean ... [04:09] matthias: no its tripwire [04:09] ka2: ahhh, I always thought it was interpreted [04:09] okey thank toy ka2 [04:09] olo...: I google it. thank for your info [04:10] ka2: tripwire is the one to use for that matter ... [04:10] kia2: I so [04:10] see there, thats how much i know of python, im familliar with the semantics but never explored it beyond that [04:10] matthias: yes [04:10] matthias: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/49 [04:10] ka2 i mean iptables have that kind of options of some kind ... [04:10] bazhang: no, i'm just talking about using it in firefox [04:10] bazhang: not running anything from the command line [04:11] ka2: thanks ... [04:11] kernfreak: its a common misconception [04:11] its actually for my girlfriend's mom and the gf's siblings [04:11] matt3453: you have the flash nonfree installed for firefox then? what is the issue I am not really clear there [04:11] another thing ka2 if not to busy ... [04:12] bazhang: i can login to my admin account, open firefox, and view flash, but any of the 'desktop' users, ie little kids, cant view any of the flash [04:12] matthias: i like to multitask :) [04:12] is there some permissions thing i need to do? [04:12] ok :) [04:12] matthias: so what is it? [04:12] did you install flash as root [04:12] how would i start GDM [04:12] nm [04:12] !justask | matthias [04:12] matthias: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:12] matt3453: you have different user accounts set up for other people? [04:13] bazhang: yea [04:13] i have installed skype on it but the bluetooth deos not work i mean skype does not find my bluetooth headset ... === foka__ is now known as foka_ [04:13] kernfreak: oloughlin75: this may be helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29#Interpretational_semantics [04:13] biabia: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start (I think), or you might be able to use startx if you're in a text only console [04:13] matt3453: then set up the flash plugin for their accounts [04:13] the bluetooth is an sonyericsson and detected by ubuntu but not by skype ... [04:13] what's the word on updating a BIOS through ubuntu -- all a matter of if the manufacturor has a linux-tool? [04:13] matthias: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSkype [04:13] im familliar with the sematics of interpreted languages [04:14] bazhang: is there some command or something i can type to do that, or do i have to log into each account? [04:14] thanks again ... [04:14] Is there a way in nautilus to go into a folder full of images and view as thumbnails? I read some discussion in the forums, but didn't see any definite "Yay" or "nay" [04:14] A freshly downloaded Ubuntu 7.10 - when botting with the CD, I get the option to boot Ubuntu, the progress bar spins back and forth, and then text lines begin to appear and it locks up at "running local boot scripts" and it never continues. Any wisdom or advice? [04:14] how come everytime I try to adjust the size of my parition it says "The test of the file system with type ext3 in parition #1 of SCSI (0,0,0) (sda) found uncorrected errors." and if I try to contionue it fails? [04:14] now i got saome reading to do ... [04:14] some ... [04:14] seems like something that should be able to get accomplished by a permissions tap or something [04:14] EnK: wait a little while [04:14] craigbass1976: yes, images should show as thumbnails [04:14] when i open some applications it edits the /etc/hosts file and pc starts to work slowly ,,, how to deny the access to write to these files... [04:14] thank you all, i do not want to be rude but i will get back and read on this tips o got, thank you ... [04:14] ka2 - was 12 hours long enough?! [04:15] EnK: wait longer, run the disk check to make sure your ISO is good, start figuring out which hardware part is incompatible by process of elimination [04:15] what's the command line command to find out what my local IP address is? [04:15] when i open some applications it edits the /etc/hosts file and pc starts to work slowly ,,, how to deny the access to write to these files... [04:15] EnK: about 12 hours too long :) [04:15] neo: what application? It can't edit /etc/hosts unless you are running it with sudo. [04:15] neo - that's your pc's dns server basically.... if your system has been up for a long time it might be sucking up ram or something?? [04:15] jeffMASTERflex, I only see icons [04:15] when i open some applications they edits the /etc/hosts file and pc starts to work slowly ,,, how to deny the access to write to these files... [04:15] jeffMASTERflex, I can view as list, or icons [04:15] neo: stop asking we are trying to answer!!!!!!!!! [04:15] erik try running with the option acpi=off [04:15] craigbass1976: in nautilus go to Edit/Preferences/Preview to see the thumbnail settings [04:15] what I didnt know is that python produces intermediate byte code in the way that c# and java do, that would make it a non-interpreted lang [04:15] thanks ka2 - I kinda thought so too. [04:16] how come everytime I try to adjust the size of my parition it says "The test of the file system with type ext3 in parition #1 of SCSI (0,0,0) (sda) found uncorrected errors." and if I try to contionue it fails? [04:16] hi guys, just like to reccomend noscritp for firefox, i like it a lot ... [04:16] need help installing themes in ubuntu, kinda new to ubuntu sorry [04:16] EnK: try booting with the option acpi=off [04:16] matthias: offtopic [04:16] my amarok says I can't play mp3's..how can I fix it? [04:16] craigbass1976: by default nautilus is set up to only display thumbnails of images that are less than 5MB in size [04:16] how would i set gdm as the default display manager [04:16] matthias: and its a pain actually [04:16] acpi-off Mkay. [04:16] endo, install mp3 support [04:16] endo install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:17] biabia: just make sure the gdm daemon starts [04:17] ka2 : why ? [04:17] thanks y'all. maybe back in a while. [04:17] and the others don't [04:17] matthias: because heaps of things use javascript -even gmail [04:17] endo: usually it pops up a box asking if you would like to install mp3 support for amarok. If that doesn't show up, go to the amarok website and follow the instructions there [04:18] ka2: well you can allow the script to run on that page and on other more dangerous pages restrict it ... [04:18] !nvidia [04:18] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:18] ka2: it /is/ kind of a pain, but it cleans up a lot of crap - and once you use it for the first few days and whitelist your regularly visited sites, it's hardly noticeable [04:18] matthias same here noscript and adblockplus are nice plugins for firefox on ubuntu [04:18] therealnanotube: try adblock plus for that :) [04:18] ka2: got that too, of course :) [04:18] no real need for noscript then [04:18] Hey is there anyone else with FireFox always crashing while using flash video like youtube? I've got the latest flash installed. [04:19] pc was working slowly a while ago , some body on the forum told me to edit the first line of ¨/etc/hosts¨ as ¨127.0.0.1 localhost unknown¨ it rectified the problem ,but whenever some application opens i.e. mozilla it modifies the file again>>> [04:19] hi, newbie here, i have setup two Ubuntu hosts on my local home network siting behind a wireless gateway using DHCP. How can I copy files from one host to the other ? [04:19] matthias you may also want to check out user agent switcher--it allows firefox to spoof being ie7/vista for some less linux friendly sites [04:19] well just to make you guys aware there is hope to keep nasty things outside a buit longer .... :) [04:19] Z_o-s-o; try installing firefox 3 [04:19] neo: mozilla cant edit it [04:19] and ln the flash plugin [04:19] neo: unless you run it as root which you should never do [04:19] kernfreak : Ill try it [04:19] how come everytime I try to adjust the size of my parition it says "The test of the file system with type ext3 in parition #1 of SCSI (0,0,0) (sda) found uncorrected errors." and if I try to contionue it fails? [04:19] matthias thanks for the recommend [04:19] i need to create a user with uid=500 in ubuntu 7.10 so i can access my fedora partition. i have edited the uid minimum values in /etc/login.defs, etc/gnome-system-tools/users/profiles, and /etc/adduser.conf, and rebooted, and i still cannot create a user with uid=500. what do i do? [04:19] tomvolek_: i'd recommend ssh. set up openssh-server on one machine, use your favorite sftp client to transfer files to/from the other machine [04:20] thanks and good bye ... [04:20] :) [04:20] cya [04:20] jeffMASTERflex, Ahh, it was not size, but local files issue. Weird, I thought that a mounted up nfs share would be considered local as far as nautilus was concerned... [04:20] Z_o-s-o, once you do, copy the flash plugin into the firefox3/plugins dir [04:20] Is there any way to install mythtv without using MYTHBuntu? On my 7.10 live CD and my server, ther's broken packages when I try to install the server. [04:20] ok suggestions? [04:20] PMantis: use synaptic (or aptitude, apt-get, etc) [04:20] neo: pastebin the file [04:21] PMantis: yes but they are less easy than mythbuntu [04:21] PMantis: from there just install from the repositories, search for mythtv [04:21] kernfreak : Will do, whatre the chances that this fixes the issue? [04:21] i went here (http://cvs.cinelerra.org/docs/split_manual_en/cinelerra_cv_manual_en_21.html#SEC298) to add non takeoffable subtitles to my video using cinelerra and then it brought me here (http://home.gna.org/subtitleeditor/) (the second link has instructions that I think are most proper for the ubuntu irc channel) i was hoping for EASY TO UNDERSTAND instructions [04:21] therealnanotube: what if I just mount one partion form host one to partiton two on host two ? [04:21] Z_o-s-o, i had some issues with flash, and installing 3 worked [04:21] caramba quanta gente hauhauah [04:21] pastebin means?? [04:21] hello peoples [04:21] kernfreak, is ff3 an apt-gettable package for feisty? [04:21] can anyone with a default install of ubuntu please do a sudo iptables -L for me and paste? [04:21] if it dont, uninstall it, you can run your current firefox along side of 3 [04:21] do you speak portuguish? [04:22] and maybe a sudo netstat -anp? [04:22] neo you can /msg ubotu paste for the link [04:22] fba: portuguese* :) [04:22] Ein2015: I've enabled universe, and mythbuntu-control-centre is available but mythtv-common is not, therefore a broken package. I know how to use sources.list and apt-get, etc. [04:22] how come everytime I try to adjust the size of my parition it says "The test of the file system with type ext3 in parition #1 of SCSI (0,0,0) (sda) found uncorrected errors." and if I try to contionue it fails?

[05:43] ghengis: if you have onboard sound, it might be necessary to blacklist the onboard sound driver so that the OS only loads the sound card driver [05:43] rsult when I type $PATH /home/archana/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin [05:43] Ein2015, i made it 3.99 gb then [05:44] deniz__: or just dont use fat32 ;) [05:44] archmap: that is the system path used to launch executables [05:44] archmap: wow, that's a long path [05:44] i use the onboard sound for other apps, like teamspeak. previously, i had ubuntu 6.06 installed (but the audigy was installed before os) and it was all good [05:44] where do I set the path for the postgres to look in [05:44] i did a fresh install of 7.10 [05:45] ok, Here it goes, I just installed ISPConfig, seems to be working fine, I am trying to view the index.htm on one of the sites that I created ( IPaddress/web9_username/site/index.html ) but I cant seem to get it to work, not sure why ?? Any help would be great [05:45] i have the audigy working with totem right now [05:45] but i cant find where to set it as default because firefox plays audio from onbaord [05:46] Z_o-s-o: i used nolapic and acpi=off in recovery mode and k got a kernal panic..... [05:46] ghengis: you can probably mess around in System/Preferences/Sound or play around with the volume control applet to switch around sound devices [05:46] hehe, thanks for the advice jeff, thats what ive been trying to no avail. i dont have much on my hd right now, maybe reinstall 7.10? OMG [05:47] ghengis: try "Default Mixer Tracks" in System/Preferences/Sound [05:47] I'm getting ready to format my /home partition for use to store large files MP3's movies, virtual disks (vmware, etc.). I've read `mke2fs -j -m 0 -T largefile4 /dev/` is a good choice. Any other suggestions? Any reason to choose another fs over ext3? [05:47] hobbzilla: fragmentation [05:47] WTF jeff? howd you do that??? LOL [05:47] its working now [05:48] roflmao [05:48] Hello. [05:48] Is there any other SVG editor than Inkscape that I could use? [05:48] hobbzilla: there are many reasons to choose one fs over another. [05:48] hobbzilla: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems [05:49] dammit. Whats up with open office. I write a 8 page essay, and when I print it out in the school comp lab with ms word, its only 6 pages [05:49] Presario : try one or the other not both [05:49] Fingel: formatting differences [05:49] bazhang: I'm confused. How is "fragmentation" a suggestion or another fs suggestion? [05:49] hobbzilla: ext 3 is the better choice in short [05:49] Fingel: export to PDF first [05:50] hmm, good idea Ein2015 [05:50] I will try that [05:50] Fingel: it sucks. what i usually do is save as ODF then use an online converter like media-convert or something to convert it to doc. it's usually more effective than using openoffice [05:50] bazhang: I was going with ext3 unless I could be convinced otherwise. [05:50] hobbzilla: if you have a shutdown improperly with ext2 there may be worries === tunixman_ is now known as theunixman [05:51] jeffMASTERflex: I have read up quite a bit on the fs choices and thought ext3 was a good overall fit. What would you personally use for a 400GB partition to store movies,mp3's etc.? [05:51] bazhang: he had -j (for journaling) already [05:51] hi all [05:52] bazhang: Right, although I have the pc on an APC I don't think ext2 is for me. [05:52] hobbzilla: you can't go wrong with ext3 i think. performance and reliability wise, i prefer it over others. xfs is nice, but does have reliability issues, i keep my mp3's and "videos" on a 300 GB ext3 partition [05:53] how can i reset forgoten user/root passwords ? [05:53] init 2 [05:53] hobbzilla: no real reason to go for ext2 unless you have a ssd; like an eeepc or something that has limit file writes etc [05:54] why does ubuntu mount fs by UUID instead of by label? [05:54] or device? [05:54] hobbzilla: you can /msg ubotu uuid for info and a link [05:54] so what are the differences between ubuntu better than red hat 9.0 ??? [05:54] !uuid | hobbzilla [05:54] hobbzilla: 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) [05:54] hobbzilla: just in case an upgrade changes the way the kernel names your devices [05:54] excuse me, what are the differences between ubuntu and red hat 9.0 [05:55] lakeoftea: this is not really a chat channel join #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to hear why ubuntu is best ;] [05:55] jeffMASTERflex: how could a kernel upgrade change the label of a disk? [05:55] anyone know how i could go about reinstalling my ethernet card in ubuntu? [05:55] hobbzilla: they have done it often the past few kernel releases [05:56] it was working great then seemed to not work so well, i wanted to try reinstalling it [05:56] hobbzilla: not everyone labels their devices, or would like someone else to choose default labels [05:56] hobbzilla: from hda to sda, etc etc [05:56] Z_o-s-o: i used nolapic with recovery and it is givving me a text junk which i cant scroll up to see what causes it [05:56] can't find any type of documentation to lead me in the right path [05:57] Z_o-s-o: it should be "native_apic_write_atomic+0x6/0x10" [05:57] can anyone help with reseting forgoten user/root password ? [05:58] hello? [05:58] m1r: reboot into single-user (recovery) mode, and reset your user's password. The root account has not password. Ubuntu uses sudo. [05:58] can someone help me? [05:58] ask away illmortal [05:58] Im tryin to add a trash can onto my desktop. [05:58] whoever was helping me.. i finally got ubuntu started on the internet [05:58] m1r: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3609.html [05:58] thanks so much! [05:58] im on pidgin right now lol [05:58] many tnx guys :) i go try [05:58] !ask | illmortal [05:58] illmortal: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [05:58] illmortal: in a terminal, gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop [05:59] yo__: pidgin is awesome :) [05:59] How do the UUID symlinks get gen'd in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ? [05:59] yo__: nice to hear! congrats ;] [05:59] if im booting from a live cd, do i have to configure everything each time i boot? [06:00] or is there anyway i can use an sd card as sort of a hard drive using the partition tool? [06:00] yo__: you can see more on that at www.pendrivelinux.com [06:00] thanks nickrud :D [06:01] now i gotta get me some icon themes so i can use better icons than default BP [06:01] !themes | illmortal [06:01] illmortal: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [06:02] nickrud, do i need to log out and log back in order for my trash can to show on my desktop? [06:02] whoa [06:02] so i can run ubuntu from a folder inside windows? [06:02] Ein2015, r u here? [06:02] without even needing a flash disk? [06:03] yo__: starting in the next release yes [06:03] yo__: look up virtualbox [06:03] deniz__: herro [06:03] from a folder inside windows???? [06:03] illmortal: no, it should be instant apply ; if it doesn't show try alt-f2 killall nautilus (will restart the desktop) [06:03] bazhang, they're using wubi for that yes? [06:03] oh, but for now i ahve to use a disk? [06:03] yo__: what's that about? [06:03] ChrisULM: aye ;] [06:03] whats what about? [06:03] yo__: hows that from a folder? [06:03] yo__: that would be wubi [06:03] where do I read about it? [06:04] hello! My postfix can't accept nor send emails. [06:04] h/o [06:04] vizdom google ubuntu hardy wubi and there is an arstechnica link for you worth reading ;] [06:04] Vizdom: http://wubi-installer.org/ [06:04] is this a VM? [06:04] whats wubi? [06:04] Vizdom: nay [06:04] nickrud all i have to do is click the check mark for the trash can to appear, right? [06:05] Ein2015, its creating "a fixed-size hard disk" [06:05] Ein2015, but it wont seem to progress on the progress bar [06:05] illmortal: yes [06:05] deniz__: give it a couple min. i normally prefer to use dynamic sizing... but it's your choice [06:05] I don't understand [06:05] k, ill do that [06:05] im restarting [06:05] How is it run ubuntu from windows??? [06:06] what is casper persistent? [06:06] Can someone PLEASE help me with my wireless problem?? [06:06] nickrud didn't work =\ [06:06] sup zero? [06:06] Vizdom: the file is a sandbox for ubuntu to run from, but it runs natively with full hardware access [06:06] illmortal: did you do the alt-f2 killall nautilus ? [06:07] yo__: it saves changes [06:07] illmortal: it instant applied here, by the way [06:07] yo_ well i believe after reading and reading some posts i might not have a dhcp server [06:07] yeah nickrud, i did killall nautilus [06:07] brb [06:07] what do you mean/ [06:07] yo_ i am able to see wireless networks, but canot connect to mine wtih all the right paras [06:08] just put automatic configuration [06:08] hi [06:08] im trying to find out some more info about the kernel frame buffer and how it impacts performance... i had a geforce mx420 and ubuntu seemed to perform better with the FB enabled, and with a 9800XT, better disabled. can i read about the differences anywhere? [06:08] yo__, what do you mean, ive deleted all my gui for networking [06:09] wow, I read wuby [06:09] cool=) [06:09] go to system->administration>network [06:09] Any chance somebody can help a poor newb? [06:09] what's the current version of ubuntu? [06:09] Ein2015, would dynamic make the hd image be prepared much faster? [06:09] yo__, ya ive done all that, im past that point right now [06:09] this may be a dumb question, but stability is important to me in an OS .... but i kinda have this thing for trying out new stuff. Is 8.04 alpha 5 stable enough for someone to run without any "foreseeable" problems? [06:09] Lexda : whats the prob [06:09] Lexda: maybe, ask away [06:10] Something wrong in Terminal [06:10] Vizdom: 7.10 [06:10] deniz__: probably. it would also waste less space, if i remember. :) [06:10] where it says conifguration, and under that it has all the places to type the dhcp and stuff [06:10] when did 7.10 come out? [06:10] Rukus, alpha is very unstable to my knowledge [06:10] I'm trying to fix a borked package dependancy thing (not really sure what happened, but I'm just trying to enter commands that it tells me to) [06:10] Lexda: that's not exactly an easy problem to diagnose ;) [06:10] whats the frambuffer? isn't that like UMA useage? [06:10] Rukus: no [06:10] there's a drop down menu, open that and click automatic configuration [06:10] Rukus: i think so, but YMMV and no guarantees of course [06:10] deniz__: cig time, be back later [06:10] deniz__: (as in like 10 min) [06:10] Vizdom, the 10th month 2007 [06:10] In Terminal it starts installing stuff, but then gives me a blue screen about some Sun user agreement [06:11] Lexda: put a the complete output of sudo apt-get -f install on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [06:11] whats the frambuffer? isn't that like UMA useage? [06:11] Ein2015, ok, but u should stop smoking.. [06:11] Lexda: ah, hit tab, that will let you say ok [06:11] Ein2015, i mean like for ur own good [06:11] and when is the next Ubuntu version going to appear? [06:11] Not a clue how to actually accept the thing and move on [06:11] Ah, thanks [06:11] Lexda: after you page thru, I think [06:11] 8.04 = the date [06:11] Hi, what log file could I look at for an issue where after I login, and the gnome panels load and stuff, it goes black and takes me back to the login screen? [06:11] Vizdom: every april and october [06:11] Huzzah, it worked [06:11] Thanks guys :) [06:11] 4th month 2008 - so 8.04 Vizdom [06:11] anyone know how to read an ext3 file system from windows? [06:11] ohh I understand the version naming now , thanks [06:12] k [06:12] JakeConnor: there is an ext3 driver available for windows [06:12] Another question though: I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be free and open and all, so why did I have to accept an agreement thing from Sun? [06:12] !ext3g [06:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext3g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:12] JakeConnor: http://www.fs-driver.org/ works for ext3 too [06:12] oops :/ [06:12] JakeConnor, total commander [06:12] thought that was the name..sorry. [06:12] ok i think i am going to sleep maybe. also my compiz stopped working. could it be an xorg.conf problem? [06:12] JakeConnor, also google read ext3 in windows [06:12] its always xorg.conf [06:12] Lexda: java is not free, but ubuntu allows you to install it anyway [06:12] JakeConnor, as far as i know,it is read only [06:12] Lexda: that's sun, not ubuntu. It comes from the multiverse (or, restrictive license) section that ubuntu hosts [06:13] can I use Ubuntu for commerce? I mean in a commercial organization? [06:13] rukus you are on hardy correct? [06:13] gutsy [06:13] !components | Lexda (read the link here that has components in the url) [06:13] Lexda (read the link here that has components in the url): The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [06:13] Vizdom: yes, you can. you can sell it if you want [06:13] whats hardy? isn't that 8.04? [06:13] Vizdom, how [06:13] Rukus: ati or nvidia [06:13] ATI [06:13] oh god [06:14] Hi, what log file could I look at for an issue where after I login, and the gnome panels load and stuff, it goes black and takes me back to the login screen? [06:14] cool, I am in with the next release (no time now) Thank you everybody [06:14] Ah, ok, thanks again [06:14] thanks guys [06:14] ATI 8.02 from ATI's website, AIGLX no XGL, and Direct Rendering working and fglrxinfo and glxinfo displaying correct information as far as my knowledge [06:15] jamalf, /var/log/Xorg.log maybe [06:15] Rukus: videos display okay? [06:15] mjbrooks: thanks :) [06:15] jamalf, also possibly /var/log/messages might have something [06:16] mjbrooks: i was looking in /var/log/messages but can't find anything that looks like an error :(... bah. [06:16] Ein2015, tell me wen ur bak [06:16] bazhang, no, when i play videos in VLC, it opens a "window button" in my task bar called Xv and won't display properly and then my whole desktop dims. Then if i type in alt f2 then compiz -- replace , compiz-fusion doesn't work, but then the video will play properly [06:16] in VLC [06:17] can sum1 tell me how to use pastebin? [06:17] wife is watching saw4! no way not for me [06:17] sorry this is when i go full screen [06:17] when killing programs..whats the diff between "Cntrl+z" and "Cntrl+c" [06:17] bazhang sorry this is when i go full screen [06:17] !paste | deniz__ [06:17] deniz__: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:17] Ububegin: ctl-z suspends, ctl-c kills [06:17] Rukus: what about fps games like sauerbraten etc [06:17] i dont play games [06:18] Rukus: and alt f2 metacity --replace and videos? [06:18] jamalf, generally xorg type errors will be in Xorg.log [06:18] nickrud: thanks dude... :) [06:18] is there a specific channel for questions regarding the hardy alpha? [06:18] jyro215: #ubuntu+1 [06:18] i run KDE sorry wrong chan but i get the most help here. [06:18] jyro215: #ubuntu+1 [06:19] Rukus: no worries me too ;] [06:19] Rukus: that's cuz smart people use ubuntu ;P [06:19] Ok, one more stupid question that I probably simply looked over somewhere online. I just installed the Xubuntu desktop interface thing, and it said to get into it, just switch users and select the XFCE session. I did that, but I'm still in Ubuntu... [06:19] the xserver doesnt even work in gnome at startup. i had a to create a launcher so i could start metacity when i log into my gnome desktop [06:19] Rukus: alt f2 kwin --replace then and videos [06:19] thats what i explained earlier [06:19] Lexda: you chose options->session->xfce on the login screen? [06:20] video dont work properly in kwin, only when i alt f2 run compiz --replace [06:20] Rukus: you said compiz --replace scroll up ;] [06:20] even tho compiz doesnt work [06:20] Nick - Yes [06:20] can sum1 help me i cant install xp on my virtualbox (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57437/) [06:20] Rukus: you have kde4 on there too? [06:20] yah [06:20] Lexda: in a terminal, apt-cache policy xubuntu-desktop , does it say installed? [06:20] it sucks [06:20] aha [06:21] KDE4 needs alot of work to be as good as KDE 3 [06:21] deniz__: did you add your user to the vbox group? [06:21] true but offtopic ;] [06:21] yah haha [06:21] ok so everything was working fine [06:21] danbhfive, i have no idea, how do i check and/or do that? [06:21] i THINK it all happenned when i upgraded to 8.02 from 8.01 ATI drivers [06:22] or when i messed with my xorg.conf [06:22] or when i ... [06:22] i play lots [06:22] deniz__: I think there are directions on the vbox website [06:22] but i usually know what i am doing [06:22] somewaht [06:22] Rukus, KDE4 is still technicallly beta... they pushed the release to meet the release plan.... guess they didn't want to follow MS's Vista strategy [06:22] deniz__: i'm back [06:22] Nickrud - It says "Installed: (None), Candidate: 2.50, Version Table: 2.50" [06:23] Rukus, if you're going to play with xorg.conf make a copy first [06:23] Lexda: then you don't have the xubuntu-desktop installed yet. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop , or find it in system->admin->synaptic [06:23] i got lots of copies [06:23] more than i remember which one is the one i need [06:23] Rukus: sounds like your xorg.conf is seriously messed up ;] [06:23] i let the ATI installer rewrite it for me even [06:23] (because that worked before) [06:23] what's the easiest way i can rejoin a file that has been split into pieces? [06:24] !enter | Rukus [06:24] Rukus: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:24] Rukus, oh, you have ATI [06:24] geekahedron: cat file1 file2 > fullfile [06:24] Rukus, if you're trying to get compiz working you need to install Xgl [06:24] you dont need xgl with ATI's drivers from their website [06:24] I use to be deniz__ [06:25] but aiglx in ati still sucks badly [06:25] HOW DO I DELETE WIRELESS ASSISTANT?? [06:25] i had it working. theres no reason why it shouldn;t work again. I'm stubborn. if it works once, it WILL again [06:25] Nickrud - Here's the result of trying to install it: http://pastebin.com/d2158f089 [06:25] zero88: turn off the caps-lock... [06:26] caps zero88 [06:26] danbhfive> deniz__: did you add your user to the vbox group? [06:26] sorry, how do i delete the wireless assistant? [06:26] Lexda: do you have synaptic or the update-manager running? [06:26] wat did he mean by that? [06:26] maybe i will uninstall compiz, my fglrx driver, reset my xorg.conf, and start from scratch again tomorrow or something. see where that takes me [06:26] Yeah, the Update Manager was just finishing installing some language updates [06:26] I'll try and run it again after that's done [06:26] Lexda: you can only run one package installer at a time [06:27] Lexda: you can only have one program using apt at the same time. [06:27] slenentine: thanks, that's what i was looking for [06:27] no problem [06:27] hello [06:27] can anyone help me with a bluetooth problem? [06:28] CoLD^MeTaL: just ask your question...

[06:29] ok, i just got a new headset and dongle, i can't get ubuntu to connect to the headset or even my cellphone [06:29] how do i solve this virtual box problem?! (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57437/) [06:29] what i get in the terminal is this: [06:30] eredor@eredor-laptop:~$ sudo hidd --connect 00:11:B1:B1:8E:81 [06:30] Can't get device information: Host is down [06:30] the bluetooth icon doesn't show up when i plug in the dongle either [06:30] Rukus: there are no modules [06:30] hmm [06:30] D-Unit: you need to add yourself to the vbox user group [06:30] JakeConnor: there is an ext3 driver available for windowsly [06:30] although it IS recognized by lsusb... and also my phone can see the laptop, but not connect [06:30] jeffMASTERflex, how do i do that? [06:31] jeffMASTERflex: do you know what its called? [06:31] one sec [06:31] D-Unit: System/Administration/Users and Groups [06:31] D-Unit: go to "manager groups" [06:32] How might one run 32-bit apps under x86_64 Ubuntu? Is there a web page or tutorial someone can point me at? === len is now known as Len [06:32] JakeConnor: http://www.fs-driver.org/ I've used this one before. it's pretty reliable [06:33] jeffMASTERflex: thanks [06:33] D-Unit: go to the group that says "vbox" at the end, and edit it. include yourself in the group [06:33] jeffMASTERflex, wait it froze, restarting cxomp [06:33] pidgin not work [06:33] prashant can you give more info please ;] [06:34] it shows connection timed out for gtalk [06:34] hi all - is there a way to run a program from cli in an external window or such that you can still use the terminal? [06:34] jeffMASTERflex, k now wat [06:34] prashant_: how about other networks--do they work okay? [06:34] bazhang : this is my xorg that was made when i first installed 8.01 drivers from ATI's website and Compiz was working for me. http://pastebin.ca/918602 [06:34] did you add yourself to the vbox group already?

I've created an account (sig) and tested with both amsn and pidgin, but I cannot see the possibility of accessing to such folder. Is it possible at all? [09:38] Vizdom: there are a number of how to's on that--if you find one then come back and we can help you go through it [09:38] it seems neither my .xinitrc nor my .xsession do get evaluated on login?

[09:40] Vizdom Gnome :) [09:40] ok [09:40] hope flash media will disaper soon , and some open standard will be used [09:41] Vizdom: that is a judgement call--many here prefer gnome while others like kde [09:41] nocturn: http://www.archlinux.it/wiki/index.php?title=Using_DM-Crypt [09:41] Give KDE4 to mature a bit more [09:41] Vizdom: you should look at some screenshots of the two and decide for yourself [09:41] simion314: If it works on NetBSD with linux plugins ... well guess what ... [09:41] Gnome is less cluttery of options than KDE [09:41] argh [09:42] any reason why i would be getting a symbol lookup error? when i have ran this bit of code before and it works. ubuntu doesn't notice the SSH_OPTIONS symbol. It says undefined symbol: ssh_getopt [09:42] But yes, check out videos, screenshots [09:42] i only want to start ssh-agent automatically [09:42] sombrer0: Thanks, that looks very usefull ... reading [09:42] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg now try this juice_ [09:42] it doesn't notice the symbol getopt [09:42] do i have to do something special to have .xinitrc or .xsession be run?

[10:10] just says advanced desktop effects [10:11] yeah its pretty much the compiz [10:11] join #th-ubuntu [10:11] kk [10:11] wers you might want to post something to ubuntuforums but google turned up almost nothing on that phone sorry not to be of any help [10:11] connect irc.mozilla.org [10:11] exit [10:11] bazhang, thank you so much! :) [10:12] have u tried that avant window navigator? [10:12] hello every one [10:12] #ubuntu-th [10:12] I'm looking for some help with an issue i encountered [10:12] i found this nifty little daemon thats in the repos today http://www.techthrob.com/tech/preload.php [10:12] !ask [10:13] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:13] !ask [10:14] is there a good windows emulator for ubuntu? (not wine) [10:14] z0man i can delete everything in /tmp right? [10:14] Using ubuntu 7.10, usb mouse randomly dies, searched for fix on the forums and all over the net all of the mentioned fixes do not work for me [10:14] flanger are you looking to emulate windows apps or the entire operating system? [10:14] apps only [10:14] hmm [10:14] flanger there is wine and crossover office and some other emulator that specializes in games (name escapes me) [10:15] dnt know [10:15] I like wine but very often it becomes unstable [10:15] freezes, crashes.. [10:15] yup [10:15] crossover it is then === gnari_gone is now known as gnari [10:15] and it has problems handling some apps with high end GUI [10:15] like i get black patches and i cant see some of the functions [10:15] like with VeohTV [10:16] i used crossover office just to run office 2003 simply for interoperability with school projects [10:16] I see [10:16] better than wine? [10:16] I need to run corel draw, photoshop etc.. [10:16] dont know yet if they support linux [10:16] so thats why I was interested in emulating [10:16] Corky_, i think different applications prefer different emulators, it all depends on what you want to run [10:17] dosbox is nice [10:17] but for stuff that needs alot of graphics i dnt think wine can cut it [10:17] there is a good amount of freeware stuff that might possible can replace the things you wish to run [10:17] ;] [10:17] open source linux stuff :) [10:17] yup [10:17] i've managed to replace almost everything [10:17] dosbox? for old dos games? :D [10:17] amarok beats winamp hands down [10:17] k3b the best burner :) [10:17] vlc is the same so thats good [10:18] firefox is always my choice [10:18] that goes for thunderbird too [10:18] i use quod libet for audio simply because it handles 500GB of music better than amarok [10:18] Opera! :D [10:18] then aMSN for messaging [10:18] quod libet? [10:18] I loved opera, but recent release of flash player has problem with opera [10:18] I noticed :'( [10:18] yeah opera has some issues [10:19] i stopped using it [10:19] yes its in the repos. sudo apt-cache search quodlibet [10:19] Usually, Opera is great :) [10:19] Sometimes you just have to know how to get it to work how you want [10:19] i used to use nothing but opera [10:19] i had a stage i hated firefox lol [10:19] rilo I know what you are talking about :) ./mozilla -> ./opera ;D [10:20] but im pretty new to linux system [10:20] there is swiftfox is compiled for different architectures (many to choose from) that is very speedy [10:20] but yea, sometimes you still have to open up an alternative. I really don't mind though. The Flash thing is kind of driving me crazy though :| [10:20] :D [10:20] I have almost no experience with nix :) [10:20] rilo are you not able to get flash working ? [10:21] im using Evolution mail atm, gonna switch to thunderbird now :D [10:21] hello how can i restart my network connection with ifconfig command ? [10:21] i tried evolution, never liked [10:21] problem: USB mouse dies after undefined period of time (repluging does not help), running ubuntu 7.10, non of the fixes mentioned on the forums didn't solve the priblem [10:22] hello [10:22] also kills all other usb ports [10:23] Kate_mins, i alternate between these 3 things. sudo ifup eth0, sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo /etc/init.d networking restart. making sure to try and ping something between each. not very proper but usually eventually it works for me [10:23] Kate_mins, that should be sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [10:24] or script network restart [10:24] :-) [10:24] avis: sure, flash works but if I open up more than 1 tab with flash playing, it usually stops [10:25] any advice? [10:25] What's the hotkey for 'run an application' ? [10:25] rilo, spooky.

[10:30] Corky_, grab them from somewhere with a net connection [10:30] Chez, use build-essential [10:30] rpm, deb, yum for drivers if I remember correctly [10:31] i never used a compiler [10:31] Corky_, its simple enough [10:31] okay thanks [10:31] .deb is also for apps [10:31] .deb is a easy install [10:31] yeah [10:32] easiest :) [10:32] just double click and run it [10:32] i cant figure out how to compile [10:32] alright got it. thats what ill grab [10:32] i dunno either [10:32] all that make file shit is killing me [10:32] but i learnt some thing where u type tar zvxf packagename [10:33] then u do cd foldername [10:33] make [10:33] make install [10:33] :S [10:33] having problems with OPENLDAP cong. where to add BASE dc=example,dc=com ? [10:33] hi there [10:33] just read the README in the directory of the program you want to install it should tell you. make sure you have build-essential installed. its usually as simple as "sudo ./configure ; sudo make ; sudo make install [10:33] depends on source [10:33] it can be ./configure [10:33] can be make [10:33] Hi! Is there any way how to restart the gdm without having to reset the pc? [10:33] back to my problem ...gutsy, USB mouse stops responding after X time (replug does not help, all other usb ports die 2) tried all fixes mentioned on forums (disabling usb 2, adding noapic irqpoll in karnel boot line, anything i could find related to this problem i tryed) [10:34] gotama: type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [10:34] Ok. Thanks. [10:34] hmmm [10:34] gotama: or jsut press ctrl-alt-backspace [10:34] gotama: just* [10:34] build-essential...how can i check to see if i have that??? [10:34] quit [10:34] but i dnt do that anymore [10:34] i got a connection now [10:34] "detlef@MD97600:~$ i2cdetect -l; i2c-0 unknown SMBus I801 adapter at 18e0 N/A." man i2cdetect: " i2cdetect -l: Output a list of installed busses." What busses are installed? [10:35] booster_, try and install it sudo apt-get install build-essentials (or is it build-essentials?) if its already installed you need not worry. [10:35] booster_: run "aptitude show build-essential", it says at the top if it's installed [10:36] any help for my videocam? [10:36] bazhang: hey you there.. simple question about vmware (well i hope simple) do i choose bridged networking or NAT? [10:37] pusoicafe, i'm guessing, and this is just a guess, that you should use insmod to reload the web cam driver. [10:37] i [10:38] ok i have build-essential...lol [10:38] pusoicafe, i believe its a module not a driver, sorry :) [10:39] okay i guess you aren't there... hey can anyone tell me.. i'm setting up vmware for the first time and i'm going thru the wizard... its asking me if i want a bridged connection or a NAT.. from the description i am assuming NAT.. but can anyone take a moment to shed some light please? [10:40] jayde_drag0n: that depends on what you want to do [10:40] can anyone tell me if there are any network tools like "solarwinds for windows" that will allow port scans and ip trace rout ??? [10:40] avis: how will i reload [10:40] pusoicafe, again that was my best guess. you might try google. i haven't used insmod in years [10:40] booster_: Have a look at Network Tools in the System - Administration menu [10:41] jayde_drag0n: bridged means that they vm gets its own ip address [10:41] avis: i tried lsusb yes there is a webcam [10:41] jayde_drag0n: and nat means that it shares the hosts ip address [10:41] bazhang: oh good you're there..well my translation here is if i use bridged.. then i have to have anothere lan card so it can have its own IP address on a seperate card... and if i use NAT then it uses the ip address and card the way my computer currently is?? [10:42] http://www.vmweekly.com/articles/networking_in_vmware/1/ jayde_drag0n more explanation here === complab is now known as PoGz [10:42] jayde_drag0n: nay, just the one card will do [10:42] ubuntu gutsy, USB mouse stops responding after X time (replug does not help, all other usb ports die 2) tried all fixes mentioned on forums (disabling usb 2, adding noapic irqpoll in karnel boot line, anything i could find related to this problem i tryed) [10:42] jayde_drag0n bridged mode is when you have two lan adapters in your pc. Usually its used for servers. Nat (network address translation) is used to share internet for local area network users [10:42] how do i install or configure my webcam? i'm using gutsy on Acer Aspire..

[10:43] ah true true [10:43] hi all [10:43] bazhang: excellent... okay i think i'm catching on YEAY!!!! (btw i'm a girl) [10:44] jayde_drag0n: though what flanger said is absolutely correct as well just for normal computing [10:45] although normal seems to be getting stranger by the day ;] [10:45] bazhang: okay sorry for pulling your ear so much.. its asking me to allocate disk size... i'm on;y ever going to use this for itunes for my ipod.. i was going to choose 20g i figured that'd be enough... but there is a checkbox in "split disk into 2GB files" what does that mean? [10:46] hi [10:46] bazhang, hi [10:47] jayde_drag0n: well you can choose to make a static file of 20GB that will be made at once, or something that grows when needed; I think that is what that is referring to [10:47] i cant understand. where to put BASE dc=example,dc=com and what does the comands in 'Populating The LDAP Tree' heading in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer means........ can any one help?

[10:52] any keyboard shortcut for activating applications menu [10:52] or, better, display a custom image? [10:53] palces system [10:54] Hey guys, Im trying to troubleshoot a new linux machine over the phone. they have a dial up ethernet internet connection, basically on windows It dialled up with a username/password and a phonenumber. What is the best way to set this up on ubuntu? [10:54] hola, anyone know the command to get art manager? [10:54] keyboard shortcuts [10:55] juice_: you back? ;] [10:56] hi; is there a 'shortcut' to disk partitioning so that I can speed up the partitioning part of the install/? [10:56] "detlef@MD97600:~$ i2cdetect -l; i2c-0 unknown SMBus I801 adapter at 18e0 N/A." man i2cdetect: " i2cdetect -l: Output a list of installed busses." What busses are installed? === ubuntu is now known as cinex [10:56] Only one application is able to use my audio device at one time meaning any other program (e.g. vlc) can't and will appear to be muted [10:56] bazhang: yeah :P i used envy and it worked great [10:57] valehru, i believe dialup users use ppp these days. you might want to sudo apt-cache search ppp [10:57] bazhang: now im looking for the command to get art manager [10:57] juice_: envy. uh oh [10:57] this is annoying as when I activate a vm even though I am not using the audio device the vm hogs it effectively muting ubuntu [10:57] avis, thanks [10:57] bazhang: ?? [10:58] juice_: not a good choice there [10:58] where are other supporters [10:58] bazhang: its the only thing that works, no hoops to jump thro [10:59] peter77, if you consider dual booting you might enjoy your ubuntu experience more. vm's aren't very efficient. [10:59] ne one know the command for art manager [10:59] ? [11:00] avis, thanx for the suggestion, so if I don't uninstall windows off of my other partition on my hdd then it will not effect the problem with only one application being able to use the audio device at any one given time? [11:01] peter77, i dont understand. though if your expecting sound on a vm session it might hog resources to the point of only hearing audio from one application. [11:02] Hi Room [11:02] peter77, that was badly said. my theory is that vm's are resource intensive and when you have windows running and ubuntu running on top of it you have to expect some hiccups when not running in a completely native environment [11:03] I just I want say I love Ubuntu it saved my life from the Microsoft Trap it is just so coool :) [11:04] avis, you misunderstood, my question was is there a reason only one app can access the audio device where windows (bah) allows multiple applications to output audio at one time? [11:04] peter77, there is nothing in ubuntu that prevents it from hearing audio from only one application at a time. you have can multiple sources with no problems. i dont use windows or vmware === JanJ____ is now known as JanJ [11:04] ne one know the command for art manager??? [11:05] avis, ok so there must be some sound setting in ubuntu preventing it then? [11:05] juice_, i think its as simple as sudo apt-get install gnome-art [11:05] mute [11:05] button [11:05] ty [11:05] the screenlet manager also nice :) [11:05] "arts" is a command line volume control ? (might help) [11:06] peter77, nope but if your troubleshooting the first place to look is the volume icon in gnome. ubuntu has a tendency to mute certain audio channels, though i'm guessing if you hear sound some of the time, you should hear sound all of the time [11:06] just type gnome art in synaptics [11:06] its not called arts [11:07] <[CroX]> How do I change the gamma/brightness? [11:07] there is a package called "gnome-art" its used to install themes from art.gnome.org. i find going to art.gnome.org and finding things that match my preference to be a better solution. you just install themes in your system-preference-appearance [11:09] ciao [11:10] my panels are acting weird, when I add icon sometimes its blank (no gfx) [11:10] flanger, i totally don't know what you speak of [11:10] I installed thunderbird and added it to panel [11:10] flanger, what about you right click on it,and configure it by hand [11:11] ahh ok [11:11] will do [11:11] just was interested why does that happen :) [11:12] maybe you changed the name or else [11:12] nope havent. [11:12] its working link but no gfx [11:12] juno is a good movie [11:12] although I see the icon when I rightclick in properties [11:13] How do I get usplash to go from kubuntu back to ubuntu?

I hope i'm in the right room. I did a fresh install on Ubuntu and it's not working like it did in windows. Before, when I'd create a new line, or press enter while in edit mode, there were tabs automatically added based on what block i'm in. now, i'm always back at the beginning and have to put the tabs myself. what part of gVim detects this? maybe... [11:31] ...I didn't configure it properly. [11:32] locke: I don't know, since I 'm not sure what is causing the problem. But you could remove the partition from the menu by editing that file. [11:32] Here we go, someone just oper'd up [11:33] i need help with a skydome question for beryl [11:33] ?

[11:35] hi [11:35] For dynamic port fowarding over SSH to work, do you need open ports on the host server? [11:35] stib, unless by some miracle it works first time. [11:35] danand, thank u [11:35] booster_, I thought beryl was the old name for what is now Compiz Fusion [11:36] beryl and compiz were separate projects that merged [11:36] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> beryl was a fork [11:36] neeto: what are you trying to forward?

[11:37] for some reason when i try to install a skydome it dosent work...i could only find one skydome that would work for me and i don like it [11:37] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Nubae, net printer? [11:37] yeah [11:37] neeto: are you trying to view port 80 on the ssh server or are you trying to use the ssh server as a proxy? [11:37] my screen res. is 1024x768 [11:38] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Nubae, should be the same on a normal win machine [11:38] vmware is on a different subnet though, so I cant find the printer [11:38] Ok, so I deleted a partition, and now when I boot my computer, it runs fsck.ext3 and cannot find the UUID and halts the boot up process and goes to a maintenance shell. How can I correct this? [11:38] where can i edit startup daemons list? [11:38] slenentine: both [11:38] slenentine: not on the same port though [11:38] locke, edit /etc/fstab [11:38] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Nubae, oh, y not try bridge? [11:38] locke, but do it carefully [11:39] TerrorBite: k, thanks, that's the file i was lookin for I'm pretty sure :) [11:39] I tried that too, then internet stopped working and couldn't find printer either [11:39] locke, delete the line referring to the partition you deleted [11:39] TerrorBite: Always careful when root ;D [11:39] locke - create a backup of that file before you edit [11:39] danand: of course :) [11:39] locke, that's good [11:40] someone told me to try and set it up with a local port that is connected to a network address [11:40] but I'm a bit confused by what they meant [11:40] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Nubae, sorry, i forgot every thing i learned in my network course [11:40] booster_ have you tried www.beryl-themes.org not everyone will work, but there is a main link for skydome themes to search in [11:40] locke - ;) [11:41] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Nubae, maybe on vmware's website? [11:41] neeto: well if you want to use it as a proxy it's ssh -D 9999 user@ip then you would tell you computer to use a proxy located at localhost:9999 . But to answer your initial question all of the forwarding gets set up based on the options used when the client connects. If that makes sense. [11:41] gnarlyc_ thats were i found the one that works [11:41] hi,i WANT TO INSTALL 3D FOR MY RADEON HD 2600 XT. hoW CAN i DO? [11:41] K, I'll reboot and see how that goes :) [11:42] sudo slapadd -l init.ldif bdb_db_open: only one suffix allowed backend_startup_one: bi_db_open failed! (-1) slap_startup failed [11:42] k, well i would try more there, if one works the problem isn't you, it's whoever made those other themes, booster_ [11:42] gnarlyc_ some of them had the same size res. [11:43] I've looked ont eh net, can't find anything to help me, its weird, u'd think it would be a common thing [11:43] also just a side note, if you update to gutsy, you may find your compiz-fusion issues will disappear, booster_ [11:43] slenentine: well for HTTP, I am using ssh -D to connect, and I don't seem to be getting out of the server's network... I think I am getting a DNS response, since the pages don't time out, but all sites render as blank pages. For SOCKS, I am using -L port:host:port, which I assume I do need to forward a port on the host for, correct? [11:43] alfred, check ldap.conf [11:44] booster_, I'm using gutsy and compiz works (almost) perfectly for me [11:45] I get the occasional black window, and firefox doesn't seem to like to ply nice [11:45] gnarlyc_ the distro im running now is ubuntu ultimate gamers edition. and it has many games and apps that i realy wouldnt want to reinstall on a new distro [11:45] booster_, you can upgrade your distro with apt-get [11:46] realy??? [11:46] i don't believe you would have to booster_ [11:46] Is there a command line tool for testing the maximum bandwidth throughput of a server? (Even if it involves connecting to an ouside host) === sharkp_ is now known as sharkp [11:46] elo [11:46] I want to use 3d on my radeon hd 2600 xt. Should I install ATi drivers? [11:46] booster_, I think you first have to edit your sources.list, then apt-get update then apt-get distupgrade [11:46] neeto: i've only ever used the -D option for socks...

I nead to copy a file over but user does not have permision to write to the folder it neads to go into [11:47] slenentine: do you have any idea why I would be getting blank pages? [11:47] neeto: then just tell your localhost to use localhost:whatEver as the proxy server [11:47] jtravnick, use the sudo command to run other coommands as root [11:47] for ATI drivers, you'll probably have to compile kernel modules [11:47] if its a newer card [11:48] I had to for my X1450 [11:48] i installed ATI driver [11:48] jtravnick, like this: "Make me a sandwich." "No, do it yourself!" "Sudo make me a sandwich." "Okay." [11:48] slenentine: yeah, that much is obvious. My problem seems to be server-side though. [11:48] TerrorBite, thats what i thought only problem i still not realy good at the CLI [11:48] but i still cannot play Assautcube [11:48] jtravnick, just add sudo to the front of the command that tells you permission denied, then type in your password. [11:49] does anyone know how to run 2 commands via the terminal at the same time ? [11:49] X800 [11:49] or if you aren't too blahblah with the terminal you can enable login as root into gdm, jtravnick [11:49] not one after the other , but rather at the same time [11:49] ghostlines trl+z [11:49] hello [11:49] how to compile kernel modules?

I have an avermedia studio 303, that is a pci one and i'm using ubuntu 7.10. where could i find some detailed instructions on what i need to do in order to get it to work ? thanks [12:18] hola pakoki [12:19] how to install nis server in ubuntu 7.10 [12:19] differentreality, for starters I think there's a problem with mplayer's tv module, though I think it only affects v4l2 [12:19] haris: maybe do a search for intel ? [12:19] prakash, try synaptic [12:19] on the live cd [12:19] hey, how can i install a new usplash screen? [12:19] ArthurArchnix: what about putting poweroff in the case stop) section of your /etc/init.d/gdm script [12:19] hischild, I was just changing usplash screens myself [12:20] TerrorBite, i thought i saw something of that when i glanced it yeah ... you had much luck with it?

[12:20] hischild, I found this: http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=917 [12:20] TerrorBite: is there some list maybe with tv tuners that work under linux/ubuntu ? so that i can check ? [12:20] differentreality, I wouldn't know [12:21] ok tnx anyway [12:21] differentreality, I just know that mplayer refuses to take input from my webcam [12:21] ArthurArchnix: on second thought...maybe that's a bad idea....ctrl alt backspace might cause the computer to shutdown..

(don't want to use VNC becuase that shows the whole desktop, just want the singular remote X app) [12:23] hischild, for bandwidth reasons I get all my packages from mirror.aarnet.edu.au [12:23] hi Everyone [12:23] gangadjinn: that's odd, i didn't think ventrilo searched for codecs when it ran [12:24] TerrorBite, bandwidth as in speed or datalimit? [12:24] VvWolverinevV, gsm 6.10 [12:24] hischild, data limit, I live on-campus at a university [12:25] TerrorBite, i see [12:25] access to .edu.au is quota free, and aarnet is the uni's ISP [12:25] gangadjinn: read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4358189 [12:25] Hi, how can I burn a CD using the Command Line? [12:25] so, 30Gbps max dl speed I've ever obtained [12:26] but I routinely pull .debs at about 170kB/sec or something like that [12:26] flanger, there is a special version of corel that was acutally released and supported by the corel company [12:26] TerrorBite, that's quite a nice speed. I have about 20mbps at home without datalimit [12:26] in its linux experimentation days [12:26] ok bye [12:26] :(:((:(( [12:26] VvWolverinevV, thanks [12:27] but these days photoshop 7 is the best bet, as development of it for wine was actually funded by hollywood [12:27] Nubae thanks [12:27] the 30Gbps I obtained when pulling a Ubuntu .iso off mirror.aarnet.edu.au via the university proxy, using a download accelerator [12:27] slenentine: Was over browsing the forums... but I've removed gdm, so I don't think it would do much of anything. [12:27] Hi... i have installed the msttcorefonts, but they render far to small in Textmaker (spacing appears to be missing). Any ideas? [12:27] so photoshop 7 runs like clockwork [12:27] gangadjinn: im not sure if that's just for text-to-speech, i have only skimmed it, but it's a start, good luck [12:27] hischild, I should mention that the quota is 400MB per user and is reset every 6 months [12:27] Again, what is the command to burn a CD using command line? [12:28] hischild, I probably shouldn't mention that the proxy server failed to cut me off at 0 this time around :) [12:28] from my home directory there exists a program that launches using ./pisg and i wish to run that program once every 24 hours. how do i do that ?

Removed usplash, gdm, network-manager. Partly for aesthetics, partly for the memory (boot to 89MB - woohoo), but also for the power management. I try to strip out programs that powertop complains about (e.g., gnome terminal) when they can't be tweaked or fixed by staying with the official repos. [12:43] so basically I just have to use SSL connections to ensure that the server never sees anything but an encrypted stream [12:43] !dcc | TerrorBite hischild [12:43] TerrorBite hischild: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands.

Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [12:45] Pici why the irc clients don`t fix the exploit?! [12:45] dolphin_noel: Because often its the router that is the device that needs fixing. [12:45] dolphin_noel, it's the routers who disconnect the clients [12:45] When x quit though, there must be a script or something that runs... or what file is run when I click "quit", because you'd think that could just be changed to shutdown -halt. I bet you that gnome quits to GDM, which passes the halt command. Since I've removed GDM, it just quits to a terminal. [12:45] dolphin_noel, Pici, this isn't a bug, it's a feature [12:46] The admins seem to have put it in to stop students from filesharing on IRC [12:46] wow. i help people out with tech support from time to time. rdp into home computers when there are problems and clean up. i think im going ot push all my clients to let me install ubuntu and virtualize their xp [12:46] this looks like microsoft features LOL [12:46] or ie features :x [12:46] dolphin_noel, indeed [12:47] dolphin_noel, I believe it's an anti-piracy measure [12:47] ty ubotu instanbul never worked for me in the past i tried it once but it froze my pc i got low ram and have yet how to increase my swap good thing i am geting some new ram here in the next week or so i hope. i also hope it works lol [12:47] Message to #channel.

[13:08] !root [13:08] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:08] guest_: sudo not root [13:08] lol [13:08] bazhang: hello there [13:09] avis: I'll just share my script, it'll be easier. I didn't come up with it originally, its a bit of a weird way of ftp-ing a file automatically in my opinion: http://nullcortex.com/irclogs/puthtml.txt [13:09] ok so it's rootsudo [13:09] guest_: no just sudo [13:10] ok..

I want it to go all the way down. I've removed GDM.

No, I would like it so that, in this case, having installed songbird I can type "songbird" in a terminal or launcher and it will run [13:41] Estesark, that is usualy already done as standard, eg. immediately after installing amarok, typing amarok in a terminal will load amarok,.,. but sometimes they will get shortened or abbreviated like ccsm = compiz-config-settings manager [13:41] o.k. so i want to connect via sftp to my ubuntu box, but i don't want to do this as root, can i just add a stardard user?

[14:02] thanx jrib [14:02] sean: you can do one of two things, install server, then install a GUI that you like(gnome, kde, xfce, flux, whatever.) [14:02] sean: You can install everything thats in server in a regular Desktop install, this may be easier for you. [14:02] Pici, if i created entries to crontab through crontab -e will pisg and puthtml be run as super user ? if so, does it matter for those two things ? [14:02] IndyGunFreak,how would this be done?

[14:03] out of interest, after it is installed, does it just bring you to a command prompt IndyGunFreak ? [14:03] avis: I entered them in my user's crontab. (not sudo crontab -e). There really isn't any reason to run them with root. [14:04] sean: just install a regular GUI desktop, and install the server applications fromt he repos, that might be easier for you [14:04] damaltor thank you!

[15:08] !java64 | nikitis [15:08] nikitis: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [15:08] hobbzilla: depends on the filesystem [15:08] I need java for my browser [15:08] hobbzilla: man e2label [15:08] rnb that is a different sources list from earlier; at any rate, there are duplicate source entries in that list [15:09] ok, what should i do? [15:09] ANyone else having problems logging into the MSN network?? [15:09] LjL: thanks that is what I needed! :) [15:09] gangadjinn: I've heard a few reports of that today. [15:09] gangadjinn: Actually yes, but a restart of pidgin solved it. Probably unrelated or voodoo. O.-) [15:10] erUSUL, this does not solve this, it makes me install 32-bit firefox. I wish to keep 64-bit firefox. [15:10] rnb you pasted a different sources list earlier--is this the same computer? [15:10] that's not a fix [15:10] nikitis: Then there is no solution currently. [15:10] yes [15:10] Hey... I have a problem: I dual boot, when I run Windows XP everything works perfectly, but when I run Ubuntu, I just get "out of range" on my monitor after a loading! When I press the power button on my computer, some text appears, but goes away before I can read it. [15:10] hi [15:10] sarah, doh [15:10] the last url is from the console [15:10] from the commands you gave me [15:10] nikitis: You could poke SUN. :-) [15:10] anyone can help me with it? [15:11] i have been thru the trouble shooting steps on ubuntu.com but my sound is still not working [15:11] how do i cut wav files? [15:11] tomasso: using audacity [15:11] Cyntrox: you can boot in recovery mode log in and try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' [15:11] Cyntrox: It sounds like the refresh rates are ill defined in your X server settings [15:11] jeffMASTERflex,thanx [15:11] Is it a horrible thing to have /boot & /tmp ext2 vs. ext3? [15:11] nikitis: you can't. Sun does not provide a 64bit java plugin. The bug on the tracker is years old. If you don't have a good reason for running 64bit ubuntu and don't want the extra hassle it causes with things like these, it's better to install 32bit ubuntu [15:12] erUSUL: I'll try that [15:12] jrib, what other 64 hassles are there? [15:12] sarah: How do I fix them? [15:12] can anyone help with my sound issues [15:12] nikitis: To add on what jrib said, you will not gain any performance increase unless you're running major graphic processing most likely. [15:12] Cyntrox: What erUSUL said. [15:12] okay, thanks =P [15:12] Sarah, does World of Warcraft Count? === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [15:12] nikitis: Highly unlikely. [15:12] nikitis: flash works well with nspluginwrapper and i havn't found any other issue excpt java plugin or some weird codecs [15:12] well that's major graphic processing [15:12] pici: now i have a serious warning, that fiel not found [15:13] nikitis: We're talking video processing here like batch movie editing :) [15:13] erUSUL, flashplugin-nonfree worked perfectly on 64bit [15:13] sarah, oh ok [15:13] rnb now look in system administration update manager and click on that [15:13] nikitis: that's what i said [15:13] nikitis: flash, some w32codecs, no psyco. That's what I have come across [15:13] oh [15:14] ok done [15:14] jrib: flash works fine [15:14] DB42: Can you try doing apt-get install --reinstall language-pack-en-base [15:14] I just think it's dumb that 64 bit processors have been out for years now, and we can't use 64 bit os's because of little things like this. [15:14] erUSUL, nikitis: it does if you consider working in nspluginwrapper fine. For me, it crashes too often [15:14] rnb there should be a button that shows an update is available do you see it [15:15] pici: files list file for package 'language-pack-en-base' is missing final newline [15:15] jrib: i mater of opinion then ;) [15:15] yes, it says 7.10 is available [15:15] when is the next ubuntu version coming out ?? [15:15] nikitis: Well, there's nothing wrong with running it in a 32 bit chroot or with 32 bit firefox I believe [15:15] rnb it should say new distribution release 7.10 is available click on that [15:15] bj_: sudo alsaconf [15:15] nikitis: But if yo absolutely won't suffer firefox 32bit I don't see a great solution unfortunately. =/ [15:15] april braniff [15:15] yea but 64bit firefox may be nanoseconds faster [15:15] ok, now it shows release notes [15:16] sarah, even if it's not recognizable, it matters imo [15:16] nikitis: You said nano, not I. :-) [15:16] on top: Welcome to 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon [15:16] rnb did you click the upgrade button? [15:16] pici: can the repository be borked ? [15:17] next to Cancel? [15:17] 64 bit is great if one runs webserver/database server/gimp [15:17] i'm running feisty, should i try to upgrade to 7.10 or just do a reinstall ? [15:17] DB42: Normally I'd suggest uninstalling and reinstalling this, but since its core package, you may want to try this: x 32bit I don't see a great solution unfortunately. =/ [15:17] hello tout le monde, j'ai ete victime du hack concernant les noyau 2.6.17-2.6.24.1 sur un de mes serveurs (dedibox ca m'apprendra a etre plus reactif) [15:17] Hi, how can I take the gnome and stay only with the bash [15:17] !fr | acezar [15:17] acezar: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.

[15:18] braniff depends on you gutsy is nice and if you want to use the net to upgrade you will have to go through gutsy ;] [15:18] erUSUL, so if we had the java6-plugin source could we compile to 64? [15:18] hehe [15:18] nikitis: probebly, yes [15:18] bazhang: i should click Upgrade (next to Cancel)? [15:18] rnb yes [15:19] ok, gave password [15:19] erUSUL: I typed 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' and got 'xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080226161808.

[15:20] now "Modifying" [15:20] bazhang, one maintainer, millions of users [15:20] Fetching file 27 of 34 [15:20] rnb this will take a while no need to post every little thing it does unless there is a problem ;] [15:20] nikitis: There a free java RE's out there, but none have quite the features of the Sun JRE I believe. [15:21] i need a caching dns server were i can set the cache size to something very large and the timeout on the lookup very low [15:21] bazhang...that's the point: how long should it take on a 1 GHz machine? [15:21] nikitis: It's a question of who owns the code really. Since the official Sun JRE is not public domain we really couldn't do anything even if we had the code. [15:21] this Modifying, i mean? [15:21] sarah, the java6-jre is available for 64bit, just not the browser plugin [15:21] rnb give it a while this can take some time [15:21] nikitis: Oh I see. :) [15:21] and the ttl very high too [15:21] ok. will give it some hours [15:22] Cyntrox, i think you need to do more than the -phigh toggle. you need sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to probe your monitor for the correct refresh rates. make sure to backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf because you will overwrite it. if your new to ubuntu you might not know what to do, when in doubt, i'd use whatever is currently default. [15:22] whats a good chm viewer .. gnochm isn't that good [15:22] rnb not that long--20 minutes or so and see what happens [15:22] nikitis millions of 64 bit users? ;] [15:23] good morning all - sometimes when i am installing a package via apt-get install -- i will see other packages listed as suggested or recomeneded -- how do i get apt to include those in the install job? [15:23] ok...i'll give it 20 mins [15:23] avis: Thanks, I am indeed new to Ubuntu. New to Linux in general, actually [15:23] bazhang, there would be if it was supported. Most people with a computer that's 2 years old or newer has 64-bit === james957 is now known as james [15:23] Cyntrox, then make sure to back up that xorg.conf :) [15:23] nikitis: I have 64 bit computer and 32bit system just flies ;] [15:23] h [15:24] hehe =P [15:24] ...how do I do that? >.> [15:24] whats a good chm viewer .. gnochm isn't that good [15:24] bazhang, just think how much faster it would fly if you were using 64-bit ;) [15:24] Hi all [15:24] haha [15:24] "detlef@MD97600:~$ i2cdetect -l; i2c-0 unknown SMBus I801 adapter at 18e0 N/A." man i2cdetect: " i2cdetect -l: Output a list of installed busses."

[15:24] Cyntrox: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.bak for instance [15:24] sarah: Thanks [15:24] Cyntrox: Basically copying the file in case something goes wrong. [15:24] n [15:25] Sarah: Thank you, I'm not THAT new to computers =P I know what a backup is... [15:25] Cyntrox: Ah, I was just trying to explain the syntax of the cp command in case you didn't know it, sorry. :-) [15:25] Cyntrox, yes but do you know how to restore it? [15:26] I'm all about World of Warcraft speed. [15:26] sarah: It's okay, I'm not offended [15:26] nikitis: ...no >.> [15:26] Cyntrox: Good :-) [15:26] Cyntrox: Restoring it would simply be cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:26] Cyntrox, just reverse the file when your stuck with no X. [15:27] Okay, thanks [15:27] Cyntrox, cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf [15:27] * bazhang thinks this channel is the best [15:27] Cyntrox: The name of the backup file is arbitrary fyi, I just chose xorg.conf.bak as it's probably logical. I hope. ^_^ [15:27] Sarah: Okay, it is =P [15:28] I'm trying this old, yet new Preload [15:28] to see if things load faster [15:28] I'm off to bomb my frame buffer device.

[15:32] hi, anyone know where to find real msn service status? [15:32] jrib: I was answering DB42 [15:32] AJC_Z0: well my system borked in the middle [15:32] and now my apt-get wont work, because of problems in lnaguage-pack-en-base [15:32] and i don't know if the problem is in my place or in the respository [15:33] can you post your language-pack-enbase list file somewhere ? [15:33] How borked? I'm using the pretty clicky GUI updater [15:33] does apt-get install -f work? [15:34] AJC_Z0: it tells me there is a newline miossing in teh language-pack-en-base list file, and doesn't continue/install [15:34] can anyone help me with getting emerald? [15:34] On KDE? [15:34] ugh, im running on amd64 and cannot find any Flash installation that works, does anyone else have this problem ? === jfa is now known as TheJF [15:35] DB42: Was any other process affected that you noticed?

I just installed it through apt-get. [15:38] AJC_Z0: again, if you can send me the list file before updating... [15:38] DB42: Borkage comes in many varieties. Did your system crash and catch fire, carry on unaffected except for the error from the update, or something in between? [15:38] DB42: What list file? [15:39] Piddy: sudo apt-get install emerald [15:39] bazhang: I have emerald installed, but emerald --replace doesn't work.

The line where you can minimize etc [15:41] it's gone [15:41] AJC_Z0: the computer turned off [15:42] piddy you have ccsm installed? [15:42] it's not related to the update, but to another problem i guess, but it prolly borked some stuff [15:42] bazhang: I think so. Hold on. [15:42] How would I get a list of all packages I installed manually? [15:42] bazhang: yes [15:42] DB42: I'm inclined to agree that a language pack update is very unlikely to have that effect, no matter how broken [15:42] Piddy: look for the plugin window decorations or some such enable it [15:43] Is there a way to control where Firefox looks for its plug-ins? [15:43] AJC_Z0: this is why i want the dpkg files from somebody before updating, so i can see if it fixes my probelm.. [15:43] bazhang: Just enabled it. [15:43] hey there, how can i reboot my server from the terminal? :S [15:43] or wait [15:44] bazhang: Window decorations?

I tried to copy the detailed output bu the window closed before I could copy it [15:44] Cyntrox: /dev/input/mice [15:44] Piddy: did you try the emerald --replace again? [15:45] bazhang: about 20 minutes have passed and no change at all: still at "Fetching file 27 of 34" [15:45] Thanks, AmyRose [15:45] Which file(s) on the filesystem do you want? [15:45] Cyntrox: You're welcome. That also applies to PS/2 mice too--it allows you to use multiple PS/2 and USB mice :D [15:45] AJC_Z0: now i dont need any files [15:45] i needd them BEFORE the upgrade [15:45] thanks [15:45] AdvoWork-> sudo shutdown -h now [15:45] AmyRose, Okay =) Should I pick the ImPS/2 or ExplorerPS/2 protocol?

I think mov's are a "restircted format" (cause it's proprietary) [15:52] fredmv: I'll try that [15:52] On the subject of players, nobody knows how to use Totem with subtitles, eh? === byte_slave_ is now known as byte_slave [15:52] yeah, it's in the repositories I believe [15:52] http://pastebin.ca/918973 <-- my apt-get is borked, please help (did apt-get clean and fsck check on partition, problem still exists) [15:52] TheJF, the VLC player can handle subs very well!

[15:53] Rgem, I know, but I'm trying to get Totem to work with subtitles because my sound is often broken with VLC [15:53] rnb okay you need to change all your feisty sources to gutsy (and disable the cd rom as a source) in your sources list [15:53] Anyone seen an app like freeMind, only a currently in development application rather than something that hasn't released since 2005 [15:53] ok, will do [15:53] what command can use to add user in terminal? [15:53] NET||abuse: I like BasKet myself [15:53] Rgem, I have two soundcards, and it just randomly picks one or the other, and sometimes, neither produce any sounds, but the sound in Totem always works. [15:53] TheJF, you can change sound line aswell... so if it's broken, I suggest to look at that [15:54] rnb then sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [15:54] AmyRose, ok,, in apt repo or have to manually install? [15:54] Right, it seems Compiz is bent on giving me a hard time. It still only works in some of my desktop, not in all of it. Has anyone experienced this?

[16:39] the feisty one or gutsy [16:39] Cyntrox, you need to mount the Windows partition, in Ubuntu, and then make a lot of modifications, I think [16:39] Will fsck work for NTFS? [16:39] what do you recomend for a good ftp server (simple to configure) for one user with one password putting data in one directory?

[16:41] daedra, why? [16:42] appyJack, it's supposed to be a free VOIP phone line, you never pay a monthly fee, you just purchase the device which is like $400. I haven't tried it yet myself, but am hoping to. [16:42] i can only find the 2.2 branch with synaptic [16:42] hi guys, how do i install mp3 support for amarok? [16:42] soundray: now a directory called data is created in sda5 [16:42] nouMenon: i'll go have a look at it... [16:42] mehrab: then /media/sda5/data will be owned by you, and you will be able to write to it [16:42] Fougner: just a threat--wait til she sees #debian support ;] [16:42] Fougner: ubuntu will have more and more flashy graphical bloat as the releases go on [16:42] appyJack, cool. In the meantime do you know anything about reconfiguring the xserver-xorg? [16:42] soundray: so just I can write on that directory? [16:43] but I'm staying in #ubuntu for support :D [16:43] mehrab: how many times do you want to be told?

[16:46] or services on tor? [16:47] mavi: what I mean is, websites ending in .onion that link to private tor networks [16:47] seeing as the public tor server is only 1000 nodes at a time [16:47] * running local boot scripts (/etc/rc/local) <----- my new server stalls at this point in the bootup... anyone have any ideas? [16:47] i'm interested in joining a private network, as setting one up is impossible on my ISP [16:48] hm [16:48] anyone knows is there some c# for linux? [16:48] no idea there =| [16:48] archman: yes, its called Mono [16:48] mavi, thanks [16:48] mb_, try installing the current gstreamer plugin [16:48] no one? [16:48] is there any partitioning tool that can make ext3 partition on ntfs formatted disk ?? I dont want to use whole disk so thats a bit tricy [16:48] *tricky [16:48] archman, does java not work for you? [16:48] daedra: #tor may be a better place to get information than in here :) [16:48] mad_max02: ubuntu livecd has a tool for exactly that [16:49] mad_max02: try gparted [16:49] smm58, whats the code? [16:49] Pici: okay ta [16:49] smm58: i used to c#, but i could try java,thuogh... [16:49] mad_max02: when you install Ubuntu, it will automatically resize your ntfs partition and set up an ext3 one. [16:49] archman: you just want to code some stuff? [16:49] pull up synaptic and search for gstreamer [16:49] archman: go python =) [16:49] mavi: yes [16:49] mb_, or install this package: kubuntu-restricted-extras [16:49] how can i enable debugging in evolution mail? [16:49] archman: i use python for all small apps i do for myself, but i guess c# can be quick development to [16:50] gparted wont help coz when I unmount ntfs to be able to do anything in gparted it shows disk in gray and I can only format it [16:50] ok, i've fixed my problem ! [16:50] that's because it's ntfs - if you still have windows, try something like partition magic from the windows side [16:50] Pici: here ? [16:50] DB42: Yes. [16:50] mad_max02, reboot your computer with the gparted live-cd [16:50] Daisuke_Laptop, hehe I dont have damndows no more :D [16:50] Pici: this was the fix [16:50] DB42: What did you do? [16:50] DB42: rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/language-pack-en-base_1%3a7.10+20080205_all.deb /var/lib/dpkg/info/language-pack-en-base.list; sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [16:50] is there a keyboard shortcut to quickly getting to the desktop just like in windows ? [16:50] from #ubuntu @ efnet :) [16:51] Fougner, I dont have that livecd [16:51] (windows key+d) for example [16:51] DB42: Neat :) [16:51] mavi: getting mono [16:51] mad_max02: you could always do what i did in the same situation, which isn't pretty [16:51] Fougner: gparted is already present on ubuntu desktop 7.10 [16:51] hey all. I just installed linux to my flash drive and i am wondering if the only way to boot the kernel on it is through the bois booting the disk. is it possible to have grub recognize the flashdrive and boot to it? [16:51] DB42: I'll try to remember that the next time someone has a similar issue. [16:51] mad_max02: take Fougner's tip and use the gparted livecd [16:51] archman, i forgot about mono. c# is microsofts expensive, closed form of java (memory management, bytecoded compiled, etc). i stay away from it from principle. [16:51] well, get it? [16:51] start shuffling everything between drives, burning to dvd, clearing it off and reformatting to ext3. [16:51] Daisuke_Laptop, well I cant format whole disk coz theres about 200gb of data that I want to transfer [16:51] like i said, not pretty :\ === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [16:51] mad_max02, well, download it [16:51] pici: you were close, but after deleting the .list file, an install -f was needed, not just install [16:52] mad_max02: why not just use the disk as it is if? =) [16:52] Indiadev_Techie, sorry, didn't know [16:52] so anyone? [16:52] mavi-, coz its ntfs formated [16:53] mad_max02, you've got a 200GB warezdepository on a NTFS, with no Win on it? [16:53] smm58: i installed mono, gonna try a little [16:53] just mount the NTFS partition and use it? [16:53] or are you going to run the system from it? [16:53] and you want to make some space on it and install linux on it? [16:53] Fougner, its not wares but ok and yeah I deleted damndows some weeks ago. [16:53] archman: good luck! [16:53] archman: archman there is a GUI forrrr developing stuff named MonoDevelop [16:53] err, mey keyboard has adhd i think' === x-spec-t is now known as Spec [16:54] mavi: i installed exacty MonoDevelop over add/remove [16:54] and I cant transfer that data nowhere coz all of my 2TB diskspace is full :D [16:54] mad_max02, I was just kidding.. you've got some sort of data on it anyway, that's the point [16:54] archman: ah =) [16:55] Hi - I've just recently installed Ubuntu and started using Rhythmbox. Does anyone know why my multimedia keys don't work with it, when they do work with other audio players? [16:55] hi, how can i do a quick check of my harddisk (bad sectors and what not) from the livecd? [16:55] yeah, has a solution window just like c#, hehe [16:56] c# is the language, you mean visual studio i think =) [16:56] when i issue the following command on my 6.06LTS server -- chgrp -R `LOCALDOMAIN\domain_users' /data the server responds > any idea why? [16:56] mavi: yes [16:56] =) [16:56] W8TAH: Because you arent using the correct quotation marks. Use 'LOCALDOMAIN\domain_users' not ` and ' [16:56] why did skype download the .deb file when i chose ubuntu [16:56] hello, i'm having a problem with wine, wine notepad displays gray background, no menu, no scrollpanes, nothing. [16:56] will it work? [16:57] cadefy_: .deb is ubuntus package-names [16:57] cadefy_: its like a .msi [16:57] ahh [16:57] thanks [16:57] so i just have to double click it? [16:57] i got another question, i still have audacious in my apps list, though i uninstalled it. Is something wrong? [16:57] cadefy_: yes... [16:58] arnath01: fsck. /dev/devicename eg: fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1 or fsck.vfat /dev/sdb5 or so on etc [16:58] so nobody's heard of a good chat client that does video chat through jabber?

The builtin firefox downloader has issues with resuming from the newsgroups it seems also, it's never manage to do so for me. [17:34] soundray: in synaptics it says 1.18.2 is the latest version [17:34] OldPink: do a Ctrl-A -- then it marks the entire file [17:35] gwget doesn't have any way to pass username/pass into the downloads either which is a bit of an annoying featureset shortcoming [17:35] archman: look at this factoid: [17:35] soundray: Seriously, I know how to select all, give me some credit.

I'm pretty sure I can point them all to the same /tmp partition without worry, but what about /boot? When I install arch, if I say /sda3 is boot, won't it just overwrite everything it finds in there? [17:37] OldPink: in that case, I would try exporting the file to file.pdf, then in a terminal run 'pdftotext file.pdf ; wc file.txt' [17:38] soundray: Twom minutes [17:38] hi, I installed win2k next to ubuntu, and obviously lost grub. There was a command to bring it back, right? [17:38] ArthurArchnix: my gut feeling is that you shouldn't share a /boot partition between major versions. What would the benefit be, anyway?

[17:39] I can't think of one... save space maybe? But they really only ned about 75MBs each... simplicity? I don't know. I'm planning the partitions now. Gonna install some tonight. [17:39] soundray^ [17:39] tzd, not always, but if it doesn't seem to have taken affect then maybe :) [17:39] tzd, what module? [17:40] soundray: Plus, if i'm installing hardy that's probably not a good idea no matter what. Ok... but /tmp is fine, right? [17:40] ArthurArchnix: simplicity would be to have boot in each system's root partition. I wouldn't worry about sharing /tmp. You can share swap, too, unless you want to hibernate.

[17:43] soundray: when i applied libpango1.0-0_1.18.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb it asked me to apt-get install -f [17:43] NET||abuse: yeah I'm most likely wrong. Took a serious guess :) Yeah, a beginners course in Linux [17:43] narayan, it's probably the different kernel modes, one is in a sorta "safe mode" type setup, so they give you 2 options [17:44] then i got a message to remove 11 packs. should i continue? [17:44] archman, emmm, dunno [17:44] archman, more details needed? under what circumstances? [17:44] archman: no. Does 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' report that your system is up to date? [17:44] archman, what are you installing? [17:44] NET||abuse, yeah, one had this recovery. Apart from the two, theres another [17:44] soundray there's "QuickStart", "Overwriting the Windows Bootloader", "Preserving Windows bootloader", "From Inside Ubuntu"... etc. I should be fine with the "Quickstart", right? [17:45] archman - have you updated recently? ie sudo apt-get update?

[17:46] danand: yes [17:46] archman: 'sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade' (don't omit the dist-) [17:46] archman, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 [17:46] archman - k [17:46] soundray should the ubuntu install cd work as the livecd/desktop? (I have only the install cd) [17:47] can I get deskbar-applet to open some apps with sudo? Like synaptic for example? [17:47] Falgor: the regular install CD does. [17:47] soundray: it says: the following packs have unmet dependencies: libpango debug and devel [17:47] soundray k [17:48] archman: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [17:48] aha! I can, but the interface is amazingly stupid and just shows 2x "open synaptic" options, without distinguishing them. === asdfasdf is now known as RoAkSoAx [17:49] osfameron: I don't know what you're trying to do, but if you're starting synaptic, you should use gksudo (not sudo) [17:49] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57489/ [17:49] is there a linux replacement for vEmotion that anyone knows of?

It looks like one of the deskbar options does indeed do that though. (I remember I could never get katapult to play nice with gksudo on a previous install) [17:50] with it i can connect to wireless, parallel to my wired connection [17:51] archman: you're getting your packages from the hr mirror. Maybe it's not up to date. I would set another mirror and rerun 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [17:51] arnath01: mydebian.de [17:51] NET||abuse, I did a guided install by the way [17:51] wats that eljak? [17:51] i'm pretty new to all this, so sorry if that was a dumb question [17:51] narayan, umm, shouldn't be any different [17:52] prasanna, a wireless connection manager [17:52] see, i dont even have that option anymore, i only see 'wired' and 'modem' [17:52] soundray: and it will solve my broken dependencies? [17:52] narayan, basically you will collect grub entries as you update the kernel, the newest entries will be placed at the top so it automatically boots into the appropriate, up to date kernel version. [17:52] prasanna, sudo apt-get install wlassitant and i guess to work fine you should run it with sudo [17:53] Couldn't find package wlassitant [17:53] archman: yes/no/maybe. It should make the libpango version available that firefox needs. Everything should then fall into place if you 'sudo apt-get -f install' [17:53] how can I change my mouse speed [17:53] NET||abuse, Ty glad to hear that.

[18:08] danand, planner is not very good :( [18:08] archman: I guess you will have to say yes to apt-get -f install removing those packages, and reinstall them (probably installing firefox-3.0 will pull them in as dependencies anyway) [18:08] bullgard4: the linux-doc package always depends on the latest linux kernel documentation package.

[18:12] in ubuntu how do i switch between windows using my keyboard (windows as in desktops) [18:12] [18:12] soundray: no, I mean, instead of emulate the mouse buttons, I want my application to know if the user is moving the pointer using one, two or three fingers [18:12] soundray: is it possible? [18:12] soundray: you know my answer :) [18:13] dookdook - do you mean the find program? [18:13] soundray: I wanted to do it through linux... dont trust windows with that kind of thing. [18:13] !backport [18:13] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [18:13] gigabytes: I haven't come across this yet, but I would think that the hardware and driver are capable in principle of providing that kind of information. [18:13] hey [18:13] how can i backup my system so if i mess up something i can roll back everything? [18:13] archman: uninstalling and reinstalling a few packages like that is not going to mess it up. [18:14] danand, is that what trackerd is used for? to index find? [18:14] does anyone know a programming language where you can draw pixel-by-pixel? [18:14] !backup | archman [18:14] archman: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [18:14] soundray: and further I'd be happy If I could know the coordinates of the fingers at any given time [18:14] i don't sirius, nothing that's just geared toward pixels [18:15] gigabytes: if I had that sort of problem, I think I'd look in the source code of the synaptics driver... [18:15] NET||abuse, the services thingy shows that "web server (apache2) is in fact enabled on startup. so i think it just fails to load properly, wish i knew why... tritium said that /etc/init.d/script is called at startup by ubuntu. i tried running that script as me and using sudo (i am a sudoer). no output in either case. the script looks ok to me at glance. [18:15] hello. im having a problem with ubuntu hardy: using nvidia restricted drivers, i cant switch to a VT ... screen goes blank and does werid color things ... CTRL+ALT+F7 brings me back to X, at least that works. Same problem with powersave ... anybody got any ideas ? [18:15] soundray: can i pastebin you the output so that you can see is there anything crucial for removal? [18:15] JosiahW: there is no reason to trust Linux more than Windows when it comes to closed, poorly documented filesystems like NTFS... [18:15] well, it doesnt have to be like that, but like on my calculator(which runs on assembly and basic) i can use the pxl_on(coordinates) command to turn a pixel on, and i was wondering whether there is a programming language in ubuntu that can do thet [18:15] that* [18:15] in ubuntu how do i switch between windows using my keyboard (windows as in desktops)? [18:16] alt tab [18:16] cadefy_: Ctrl-Alt-Right Arrow to move to the right [18:16] soundray: good idea [18:16] I've just inherited a server that was built from a cd. I need to install build-essential to have the developer tools available to me, but it's asking that I insert the cd into the server (two states away from me at the moment). Does anyone know how to download the files locally and tell ubuntu to look locally for these? [18:16] cadefy_: and so on [18:16] cadefy_: alt+tab .. .same as under windows [18:16] cadefy_: you mean desktops, not windows, correct? [18:16] <_mug> hey [18:16] archman: no, unless it's changed from http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57490/ -- the things it wants to remove there you can confidently remove and reinstall. [18:16] soundray: lol okay [18:16] soundray: thank you [18:17] desktops [18:17] soundray: thanks [18:17] like down bottom right has 2 screens i click inbetween [18:17] i can drag a program across [18:17] but i want to switch between the 2 with my keyboard [18:17] ctrl+alt+ left/right arrow [18:17] as I said [18:17] thank you :) [18:17] i was ctrl+left [18:17] does anyone know a programming language where you can draw pixel-by-pixel?(like with the pxl_on and pxl_off commands on my TI-84 calculator) [18:17] !enter | cadefy_ [18:17] cadefy_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:17] alt+left [18:18] davidrichards: i beleive you need to change it in source list [18:18] you can change the shortcuts if you want to [18:18] does anyone know a programming language where you can draw pixel-by-pixel?(like with the pxl_on and pxl_off commands on my TI-84 calculator) [18:18] cadefy_: default is Ctrl-Alt-L (or R) arrow key [18:18] dookdook - just looked up man trackerd - no don't think its anything to do with find... have you tried looking in ~/.config/autostart to see if it gets started from there? [18:18] !repeat | sirius-black [18:18] sirius-black: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [18:19] is it possible to tell apt-get to use libssl0.9.8 instead of .7 when a package (vmware-server) wants .7? [18:19] can i run wireless and wired at the same time on ubuntu? [18:19] stupid question alert. How do I ssh to a machine that's set the port to be something like 2020 to ssh to? [18:19] ssh user@host:port ? [18:19] thank you tritium, is there a way i can change that to LAlt+Shit left ? [18:19] sirius-black, that is not related to programming language. it is library related. most "real" programming languages have libs that support pixel rendering [18:19] Trae; ssh user@host -p 2020 [18:19] ahh [18:19] thanks chetnick. in the source list...sounds like /etc/apt/sources.list? [18:19] man ssh :P [18:20] okay, [18:20] i'm having problems with changing the screen resolution [18:20] sirius-black, i recommend you read up on sdl - http://www.libsdl.org/ [18:20] <_mug> can someone suggest a really good and _stable_ ftpclient (gui)? kftpgrabber, kasablanca and gftp dont really fit my needs. either to unstable or the handling sucks.. or both. id like to have an exact flashfxp-clone :P [18:20] tritium, is there a way i can change that to LAlt+Shit left ? [18:21] cadefy_: Please watch your spelling there. [18:21] danand, yeah thanks. i don't see anyting in autostart, but i do see a tracker directory in the .config dir...at any rate it looks like some shell option or some such and not an ubuntu'ism. thanks [18:21] I'm using Evolution with exchange and all of sudden I can't drag email to different folders, I can still right click and move it to a folder but not drag and drop, anybody have any ideas how to fix this. [18:21] Can someone explain why I have no border around my windows? I upgraded to Ubuntu Studio and since restart have not been able to move my windows or resize them? [18:21] What was incorrect spelling in my question? [18:22] you spelled shift as sh*t [18:22] cadefy_: Shi*f*t [18:22] piju, thank you for taking time to answer me and helping. I appreciate it very much. [18:22] soundray, is Pici a bot? [18:22] cadefy_, can you give me a hand? [18:22] battlesquid: I'm not a bot. [18:22] cadefy_: people have been kicked for lesser offences :) [18:22] Trae; no problem [18:22] battlesquid: I just happen to have certain words on hilight. Strange, second person today to ask if I was a bod. [18:22] Pici, then why did you report on that? That was obviously a typo [18:22] s/bod/bot/ [18:22] dookdook - try a locate trackerd to see where else it is on your system - just run that on mine and it turns up in /etc/xdg/autostart too [18:23] I'm sorry [18:23] battlesquid: he's definitely very eloquent if he is one ;) [18:23] battlesquid: Because it was setting off my hilights and he did it twice :) [18:23] Pici, you seem a bit overactive - like a bot would be ;-) [18:23] I just re-read, sorry about that. [18:23] soundray: are the synaptics drivers only an x11 module or is there also a kernel module? [18:23] cadefy_: No need to be sorry, I knew you werent doing it on purpose :) [18:23] gigabytes: only X11 [18:23] i'm having problems with my resolution...; each time i change it to 1680x1050, the screen gets loads of b+w lines on it [18:23] soundray: there are an incredibly small number of lines in that source [18:24] so is there a way to change ctrl+alt+left(or right) to alt+shift left-right? [18:24] but I don't know the semantics of xf86 apis [18:24] How do I fix the no borders issue I currently have? Even after restart, I am unable to move or resize windows that I open. [18:24] @pici: what is the etiquette on repeating questions ? ok after about 300 lines ? [18:24] dookdook - just found you can switch it off by unchecking the tracker box in System -> preferences -> session !! :) [18:25] gigabytes: hmm -- it probably links with generic pointer handling code, which could be both in Xorg or in the kernel. [18:25] rgh [18:25] sjuerges: okay after 10 minutes -- try to rephrase rather than just repeating. [18:25] my /etc/init.d/apache2 script is not printing any output - i think this is why apache2 is not started by itself on startup. how can i fix this? [18:25] sjuerges: It depends on how busy the channel is, soundray's answer is good too [18:26] @soundray @pici: thanks [18:26] sjuerges: go on then, now that you've made us curious... [18:27] so is there a way to change ctrl+alt+left(or right) to alt+shift left-right? [18:27] hey... does anyone here know anything about mounted ext3 partitions? i'm trying to create a trash folder in my data partition, but sudo mkdir doesn't do anything, even though the mountpoint is nominally owned by root! [18:27] jworkman01: Did anyone answer your question? [18:27] soundray: having a problem with hardy, cant switch to a VT any more, screen goes black first then does weird color things [18:28] sjuerges: oh, it's a hardy one. Ask in #ubuntu+1 [18:28] sjuerges, /join #hardy+1 [18:28] storm-zen - No not yet [18:28] sjuerges, /join #ubuntu+1 ;P [18:28] i'm having problems with my resolution...; each time i change it to 1680x1050, the screen gets loads of b+w lines on it [18:28] @soundray @DRebellion thanks ... and lol :D [18:28] jworkman01: Then let me share what I know, though I don't know the solution. The borders and controls on them fall under the category of "window decorators"... do you have compiz enabled? === {Spec} is now known as Spec [18:29] does anyone have a SiS gfx card and can reproduce this error? http://84.179.124.157:9090/sis-fontcorruption2.png === {MenZa} is now known as MenZa [18:29] storm-zen - no I do not believe so.

[18:30] CorruptTerrorist, sudo that aswell [18:30] bod_, no difference, already tried [18:30] Hi, I'm trying to get my external USB hard drive to work in the latest version of Ubuntu, being booted from the CD. Anybody have suggestions on how to get the system to recognize it? [18:30] storm-zen, perhaps try looking at metacity [18:30] CorruptTerrorist, ot the correct drivers? [18:30] storm-zen - everything seemed to be fine until I rebooted then I wasn't able to move or resize anything [18:30] urgh... brb [18:30] Otherwise, I'm not sure. Guess you'll need to google window decorators. ( I did something that turned mine off when I was searching for something yesterday. ) [18:31] g2g [18:31] I've gtg too. Good luck on your search, jworkman01. [18:31] storm-zen - ok, I'll see if I can find something === storm-zen is now known as stormzen-away [18:31] storm-zen thanks === {MenZa} is now known as MenZa [18:32] is there an Ubuntu package that I need to install to get the Python "freeze.py" utility? [18:32] hi, im using ubuntu 7.10, im not able to susbend or resume my laptop [18:32] my dpkg/status file keeps getting syntax errors in it. How can I stop that? [18:33] soundray: firefox 3 installed successfully, thanks [18:33] =) === MenZa is now known as \user{MenZa} [18:33] so is there a way to change ctrl+alt+left(or right) to alt+shift left-right? .... [18:33] i need to increase the verbosity of the /etc/init.d/apache2 script - the script is looking for $VERBOSE ("yes" or "no") - i tried to run $ export VERBOSE=on; before i called the initscript, but this didn't help (i suspect it belongs to the previous shell). so how can i set $VERBOSE for the shell's script? [18:34] anybody have solution for this === \user{MenZa} is now known as MenZa === {Spec} is now known as Spec [18:34] battlesquid, put it in ~/.bashrc ? [18:34] DRebellion_, good idea [18:34] is there any way to get netflix to work on ubuntu? [18:35] Just so no one goes through the trouble of trying to figure out my window issue, I fixed it. I had enhanced graphics enabled and for some reason it wasn't working properly so I turned them off. Works fine now [18:35] anyway to solve hibrnating problem [18:35] DRebellion, didn't work :-/ [18:35] what is not working with netflix?

[18:53] Mathew it tells me according to mtab, udev is already mounted on /dev mount failed [18:53] Kostkon: i think so [18:53] Kostkon: that it should have a GUI [18:53] "detlef@MD97600:~$ i2cdetect -l; i2c-0 unknown SMBus I801 adapter at 18e0 N/A." man i2cdetect: " i2cdetect -l: Output a list of installed busses."

[19:26] ArthurArchnix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57496/ [19:26] Xman, yes [19:27] drebellion: thanks for help I can read+write using Ubuntu but not when using Deluge any ideas? [19:27] I think its a software issue, I didnt have that problem in windows [19:27] NattyTux, or use http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/03/14/how-to-setup-opendns-on-ubuntu/ to setup other dns servers [19:27] is it possible to make ubuntu act like windows? [19:27] kostkon: can u tell me the command to install the dbian packages [19:27] Migs2, use windows. [19:27] Cool guide. thanks! [19:27] DRebellion_, i see no "cd repo system [19:27] :S [19:27] daz31, what do you mean "not when using Deluge"? [19:27] No. [19:27] whats the name of the file? [19:27] I want to use Ubuntu, not Windows. [19:27] hey, how do i disable the transpacency for 1 window in gutsy? (im trying to play lxdoom) [19:28] lc3Clayton: Ok.. I don't think we're talking about the same thing. Because what I'm talking about is gparted live, version 0.34, which is the latest. [19:28] bosanac__, there is no file. go through the menus and uncheck where it says ubuntu cd [19:28] omg [19:28] ok [19:28] thx [19:28] kostkon: i have downloaded some packages and their dependencies using script generated by synaptic [19:28] later [19:28] Xman, you mean install a .deb package files? [19:28] lc3Clayton: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115843&package_id=173828 that should solve all your problems. [19:28] kostkon: exactly [19:28] Migs2, well then you should be open to new ways. ubuntu is an alternative, not a replacement. === dave_ is now known as randomnickname [19:29] DRebellion_: hmm, when I do mount -a on the first box it completes without any further prompting... on the second box mount -a then asks me for a password [19:29] I want Ubuntu to look and feel EXACTLY like Windows [19:29] Xman, to install a .deb file is "dpkg -i nameoffile" [19:29] psyferre, odd. [19:29] so when I stick in a flash drive, a "What do you want to do?": window instantly pops up [19:29] Migs2 - good luck to you :) [19:29] Xman, with "sudo" in front [19:29] or CDs autorun when I stick them in [19:29] kostkon, Xman best not to do that, it won't handle dependencies. [19:29] good evening/day/night/morning everyone :) is there anyone who possibly is in touch with the WACOM - drivers for graphic tablets? please query.. [19:29] i can add/delete files on ubuntu desktop to the external hd. But when I try and download to the external hd it wont write to the hd. http://deluge-torrent.org/faq.php#6n38 [19:29] or there's a "Suggested Applications to run this document" when you try to download a file [19:29] Migs2 - Cd's autorun in ubuntu [19:29] Migs2, go to gnome-looks.org and find a set of windows skins [19:29] PriceChild, yeah I thought that, I was going to tell him/her I don't know how to install all of them [19:29] DRebellion_: so i guess either it's not checking the credentials file like it should be or the password it's asking for is for something else? [19:30] PriceChild, using dpkg [19:30] kostkon: PriceChild is saying that not a better way [19:30] kostkon, Xman use gdebi [19:30] hi, can I expect 8.04 to run smoothly on a 600mhz pc? Can I use the default gnome or should I switch to xubuntu? [19:30] psyferre, i don't really know to be honest. [19:30] !hardy | edistar_ [19:30] edistar_: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [19:30] ArthurArchnix: sorry, http://download.tuxfamily.org/gpartedlive/, is where i got it from [19:30] I bet there's programs out there to customize Linux this way [19:30] Migs2: Sounds like you want something that looks and acts exactly like windows. I don't mean to be rude, but have you tried... windows? [19:30] DRebellion_: okay, thanks :) [19:30] DRebellion_, wow, that's a lot of steps... so I she would need to do all that to get me to VNC into her computer, It's not enough to just enable "allow other users to control desktop" inside of System->prefernces-->remote Desktop??? [19:30] edistar_, gutsy works fine for me on 500mhz [19:30] Windows isn't an option. Too much $$$. [19:30] PriceChild: what is gdebi and how to use that? [19:30] I'm trying to mass-deploy this in a schcool [19:30] edistar_ - #ubuntu+1 for 8.04 [19:30] *school [19:30] DRebellion_: gnome? [19:30] Xman, just double click on the file [19:30] YahooLaptop, he has been told that [19:30] and the more comfortable people are using an unfamiliar OS, the better [19:30] YahooLaptop: ok, sry [19:31] hendrixski, i've never done it myself. Usually, i just use ssh and work from the shell. [19:31] Migs2: i think you are trying to hard. gnome is pretty idiot proof [19:31] lc3Clayton: Nope... that's the same thing alright. [19:31] Migs2, schools are for learning. [19:31] PriceChild: but i wanna know how to do that using command line, actually i m learning basics [19:31] Migs2: use kubuntu (which uses KDE desktop) then... that is more similar to windows than ubuntu (which uses GNOME desktop) [19:31] If you want a more "windows" like system use Kubuntu (or kdm) [19:31] Xman, you can use dpkg, then apt to resolve the dependencies, but you should be very careful. [19:32] problem: wacom. tablet works as pointing device but clicks (pen) seem to be rightclicks. fixing with xsetwacom didnt work.. help?! [19:32] DRebellion_, yeah, I've done SSH as well, but this is a problem with GIMP... so, shell only does so much... I've never done the remote desktop stuff, I didn't think it would be like tons of command to install VNC [19:32] edistar_, yep [19:32] PriceChild: ok let me try and tell u the story then [19:32] There was a linux windows clone wasn't there, what was that distribution called? [19:33] ArthurArchnix: what is irritating is that my partitions show up in the fdisk, but gparted won't recognize anything [19:33] ArthurArchnix: linux XP or something ridiculuos like that. it was a russian distro i think [19:33] lindows [19:33] hendrixski, its not really vnc that takes a lot of tinkering, more the fact that you have to secure it over ssh and forward through your router [19:33] hey, how do i disable the transpacency for 1 window in gutsy? (im trying to play lxdoom) [19:33] lc3Clayton: Do a sudo lshw and look for your harddrive, make model. Then search for any bugs against gparted with that harddrive. [19:33] it's lindows.. [19:33] anyone good at JeOS here? [19:34] lindows... that was it. Migs2 check out lindows. [19:34] hendrixski, not to mention finding the other computer (its probably a dynamic ip meaning you would want to set up dynamic dns for multiple sessions) [19:34] I have the iso and an SUSE XEN server. Can I install thru XEN? [19:34] DRebellion_, I'd be willing to take the chance of not having to ssh it, just the forwarding through a router part [19:34] ArthurArchnix: it's actually linux xp http://www.linux-xp.com/ [19:34] did anyone here ever changed the input keys of a graphictablet using wacom drivers?? [19:34] DRebellion_, I only have to do this once, so she can deactivate the remote desktop stuff after that [19:34] Anyone know about a linux software to use your keyboard as a music keyboard [19:34] I guess it was ReactOS [19:34] ArthurArchnix: i believe there is one called linux XP as well [19:34] lindows does not exist anymore [19:34] how do I upgrade wine? [19:35] lindows is what linspire is now [19:35] PriceChild: its giving this messege "dependency problems -leaving unconfigured" [19:35] hendrixski, i'm not really sure how vnc works anyway. just follow the guide really. i've gtg. good luck ;) [19:35] jeffMASTERflex: I'd never seen that. The latest news on linxp is from 2007 [19:35] Xman, indeed ;) [19:35] k thanks [19:35] Xman, sudo apt-get -f install [19:35] Xman, i have to go afk now though sorry. [19:35] ArthurArchnix: lindows is now the distro known as linspire [19:35] PriceChild: ok doing [19:35] hell (sorry for that..) can anyone probably TELL ME where to get help regarding this damn wacom driver issue? [19:36] k, I'll try that [19:36] Jeanna, my best guess are the forums http://ubuntuforums.org [19:36] im having trouble getting the 'xorg-driver-fglrx' it seems unavailable, anyone know what might be going on here? [19:37] avis: hm, thanks but no irc you can think of? i nearly got it to run, it's just a specific wacom setting i seem to miss and i need it fast for gimping with the tablet :/ [19:37] PriceChild: ok thanks and it worked [19:37] Linspire is basically a flavor of Ubuntu, isn't it? [19:37] Jeanna, not sure you could do a /list and filter the results [19:37] Migs2: nope. not at all. it's debian-based, but that's about it [19:37] ok may someone pm me for just small help [19:37] ah okay [19:37] avis: hm kk, gonna try that.. thanks a lot for now :) [19:38] -list [19:38] lol -_- [19:38] wtf, is't not free? [19:38] Anyone know about a linux software to use your keyboard as a music keyboard [19:38] Migs2: linspire has free and paid versions [19:38] Migs2: it is, but has a subscription service for getting software out of their CNR repos [19:38] <_6StringKng_> off topic, but is there a program I could use to delete folders that wont delete within windows because I made them when I was using linux and they habe "illegal" characters in there names...which windows doesn't read apparently [19:39] ugh [19:39] like RedHat. I hate that. [19:39] kostkon: dpkg was giving some dependencies problems but i solved it using "apt-get -f install" and it was successfull [19:39] philip: i'd suggest going the hardware (midi-hardware, real "keyboard") way for ghosting and such are issues forbidding even the thought of what i think you look for.. [19:39] philip_> seqdump scripting + xbindkeys or the "vkeybd" package. [19:39] Migs2: if you want something to look like windows, then KDE would be the best fit. try kubuntu [19:39] kostkon: but why dpkg was giving that error [19:39] Im trying to play lxdoom in gutsy, but its making the window transparent, how do i fix this? [19:39] Xman, as PriceChild said, it does not handle dependencies well [19:39] a real keyboard, is far better. [19:39] kostkon: becoz i think it has been specially designd for debian packages [19:40] it's not just "better", it actually "works" ;) [19:40] _6StringKng_: Perhaps you should ask in ##windows if you want to delete them in Windows. [19:40] yo everybody ^^ [19:40] hey Shogun [19:41] im having trouble getting the 'xorg-driver-fglrx' it seems unavailable, anyone know what might be going on here? [19:41] hey guys, i just installed compiz and it was working flawlessly but after i rebooted, it still worked but for some annoying reason i can not select the title bar of the window and move it, it wont move! It will just allow me to resize it. how can i fix this? [19:41] ^^ im french , but i speak english a litle [19:41] Xman, but ubuntu uses debian packages too. nevertheless, you could also install them from nautilus, by double clicking on them [19:41] bonjour á toi ;) [19:41] lol a toi aussi [19:41] what is the best font editor app for linux? i tried fontforge but i was not so pretty [19:41] kostkon: actually apt-get was downloading dependencies but i already had those on my hard disk [19:41] kostkon: it doesn't really [19:41] merci bien, mais je suis allemand avec petititititit conaissance de francais ;) [19:42] ok pas de problèmes ^^ [19:42] très bien :) [19:42] wols_, i meant the debian packaging not poackages from debian [19:42] hello can anyone tell me how to make a playlist of all mp3 files in a folder [19:42] Is there any utility on ubuntu that will find my BIOS serial number? [19:42] can anyone give me a hand? if i change my resolution my screen fills with b/w lines [19:43] NativeAngels: basically you can take a piece of paper and write them down. honestly: os? mediaplayer? ;) [19:43] NativeAngels: you can just select all the files and play them with totem, it will be in totems playlist [19:43] kostkon: what if i am already having package files and wanna install them from hard-disk [19:44] recon: possibly sudo lshw ? [19:44] i have this problem with googleearth: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". [19:44] yup [19:44] Hi, everyone: I have Openoffice 2.3 in Ubuntu, why r the toolbar of openoffice just text, not icon? [19:44] what can i do? [19:45] afancy: There's an option for that. [19:45] where? [19:45] i cannot find it [19:45] hey guys, i just installed compiz and it was working flawlessly but after i rebooted, it still worked but for some annoying reason i can not select the title bar of the window and move it, it wont move! It will just allow me to resize it. how can i fix this? [19:46] I'm not on my machine... tools, options, then maybe view.... [19:46] vagnozzi: I'd try googling for "ubuntu google earth packets" or something and try to find out which packages need to be installed prior to google (hope I think the right way..) [19:46] when using rdesktop's seamlessRDP, is there a way to get rid of the Windows bar? [19:46] ArthurArchnix: could you tell me where to set it? [19:46] afancy: under Tools-Options-Open Office-view.....check the show icons in menus box ? [19:46] jeanna thanks for the advice. [19:46] ArthurArchnix: it worked pretty well, thanks. [19:46] ArthurArchnix: seagate momentus 7200... no bugs reported, and seeing how gparted has worked before for this machine, I don't find that surprising. [19:47] recon: np [19:47] ArthurArchnix: Are you using metacity or emerald? [19:47] Does the bios have the ability to check the health of the drive? [19:47] l_vagnozzi: no problem, i hope you get what i mean.. in linux systems the "needed" packages of software need to be there before the "needing" software gets installed, i think [19:47] lc3Clayton: ^ [19:47] ArthurArchnix: Sorry. Wrong guy... [19:48] l_vagnozzi: so possibly you even already got all needed things but just need to reinstall gearth (best case for you..) [19:48] luckyshot: Are you using metacity or emerald? [19:48] ArthurArchnix: {Show icons in menus } was already checked [19:48] jeanna i think it's a problem of video driver. [19:49] since the upgrade today from 7.04 to 7.10 i cant access my hp scanjet anymore. Previously i had to write-enable /proc/bus/usb, but that isnt there anymore. How can i access my scanner now?

[19:49] ArthurArchnix: I really just need to change the boot flag to my ext3 partition. If you looked at the pastebin, you'll see its currently set to /dev/sda2, an XP install. [19:49] anyone got experience creating debs? [19:49] Odd-rationale, im a bit new to this, how would i do that?

[20:00] adac2 - you can see detailed output about drives dma etc with the hdparm utility.... be warned though you can kill drives with some of the options you can use with that tool. use the man page first [20:00] jkearns, xubuntu 7.10 [20:00] it says somenthing about gstreamer [20:00] im new to Linux,does partition magic work with Ubuntu? [20:00] jeanna maybe i've found! problem with ATI.. [20:01] great to hear (/read) so :) [20:01] how to set up hotmail address on mozilla thunderbird?? [20:01] cd32fan, not in ubuntu, but you can use it in windows to set up your partitions [20:01] ArthurArchnix: according to gparted, the disk doesn't have a disklabel [20:01] FilipeR: the pop3 and that other port should be given by hotmail, try a FAQ there [20:02] luckyshot: A thread on http://ubuntuforums.org says to try ALT+F2 -> 'xfwm4' [20:02] WarBird_: so there no other program like partition magic for Ubuntu? [20:02] cd32fan, gparted [20:02] ArthurArchnix: gparted version on ubuntu live cd: 0.3.3 [20:02] adac2 - just running that tool with no options set should give you the status of the drive ie hdparm /dev/hdc [20:03] WarBird_: can i adjust small details like cluster size and such?

[20:04] * Jeanna takes danand's place [20:04] np [20:05] !webmin [20:05] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.

[20:09] Cyntrox, check the output of: lsmod |grep nvidia [20:09] a wired connection [20:09] zossso, yeah its check and i do see the menu bar but i cant move the window, its stationary [20:09] Cyntrox, if nvidia is present there, then you need to read the docs for twinview [20:10] wired conection with username and password [20:10] njeriu: and it isn't accepting the usrname and password? [20:10] hoarycripple: What docs? Ubuntu? [20:10] Xman, you can install themes at "system-> prepferences-> appearance preferences" [20:10] a friend of mine told me that i should configure the wpa- suppliant [20:10] kostkon: i have downloaded the GTK theme and its a *.tar.gz file, now how to install that? [20:11] but i dont know how to do that [20:11] Cyntrox, it is probably present in the ubuntuforums somewhere, but nvidia has great docs about twinview usage [20:11] Cyntrox, i' [20:11] xman go to start menu>system/preferences/apearance and install from there [20:11] Xman, go to "system-> prepferences-> appearance preferences" and load it from there or drag the file into the window [20:11] DOes anyone know by any chance wehre the configuration files for compiz would be located? I want to completely remove them [20:11] Cyntrox, sorry...i will show you how you can modify your xorg.conf [20:11] Cyntrox, hold on a sec [20:12] shutdown problem [20:12] hoarycripple, I doubt reading the nVidia docs will help since it works in Windows. And thanks. [20:12] kostkon: don't i need to extract it first [20:12] njeriu: no you shouldn't thats for wireless if im not mistaken, what is the connection status on the top right of your screen in the panel? [20:12] Xman, no need! [20:12] when i boot into ubuntu, my micorophone starts coming out myt speakers and makes a high pitched sound, it ponly started happening since i hubernated my windows and rebooted into linux by accident [20:12] kostkon: ok doing now [20:12] Xman, use it as it is [20:12] i have a problem, if i change my screen resolution, i get black and white lines on my screen [20:12] i have shutdown problem [20:13] BenniBoya: Then don't do that :P [20:13] any Idea? [20:13] Xman: why not just keep asking the same question five times more so everyone who'll join can see it? o:) [20:13] but it is still haoening [20:13] Cyntrox, wrong. nvidia has great docs covering twinview for linux and xfree/xorg [20:13] do you know how to configure the wpa_ suppliant package [20:13] where is --force-downgrade in the apt-get man pages? ive looked and could not find it [20:13] BenniBoya: Did you check you mixer settings? [20:13] adac2 - just had a thought - looking in /proc/ide or in /sys might yield some useful info about disks [20:13] wheres that [20:13] hoarycripple, okay. I didn't know. [20:13] im a nub [20:13] Cyntrox, but here is how you need to modify your xorg.conf file: [20:14] Cyntrox, http://pastebin.com/m65df8f55 [20:14] i have shutdown problem [20:14] BenniBoya: Try "alsamixer" in terminal [20:14] When using Twinview/nvidia, ubuntu often opens windows in the center between two screen, is there a way to make it handle that better? [20:14] I have version 7.10 and under system > administration there is not a "device manager". Could some one tell me where to find this on 7.10? [20:14] Jeanna: the problem have been solved now with help of kostkon and beautifulsnow [20:14] kostkon: thanks man, thanks again [20:14] kostkon: its a nice theme [20:14] Xman: if you just googled like a told you 20 MINUTES ago it wouldn't have needed to be solved :P [20:14] killerbunny, nvidia has good docs about this. covered in the "deadspace" section [20:14] hoarycripple: Thanks! [20:14] i have shutdown problem [20:14] Xman, :) [20:15] odd-rationale: done, it has pcm and mic at top, how do i lower [20:15] hoarycripple: okey thx [20:15] when you get themes you get an installation guide.. everywhere.. it's like.. asking the army to get a cat down from a tree. army will shoot you know.. for fireman gotta do that :P [20:15] Cyntrox, you need to put that under your "screen" section [20:15] Jeanna: I did that but didn't got good results [20:15] Cyntrox, make sure to backup your original xorg.conf [20:15] BenniBoya: Press "m" to mute, and up/down to adjust level. esc to exit [20:15] i have shutdown problem [20:15] njeriu: no, i don't but you don't need to with a wired connection, i have only ever used that once for wireless connections [20:15] hoarycripple, where can I find xorg.conf? [20:15] !repeat | riad [20:15] riad: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [20:16] Cyntrox, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:16] Cyntrox, make sure to back it up [20:16] !offtopic | Jeanna [20:16] odd-rationale: ty, any idea why it came straight out my mic, and will it stay like this? [20:16] riad: More details would be helpful. Keep in one line, please. [20:16] Cyntrox, also, you need to replace your specific monitor settings in the twinview settings [20:16] hoarycripple: Okay, thanks! [20:16] Cyntrox, specifically, you need to know the refresh rates of oyur monitors and the resolutions they will handle [20:16] is there a terminal instruction to check for broken packages, anybody? [20:16] BenniBoya: You might also want to do "alsactl store" as root to save you settings. [20:16] rinaldi_: how do i procede? [20:17] which folder is the htdocs foler for apache? [20:17] kk ty [20:17] how can i get emails in evolution not to show up in a separate window? [20:17] Cyntrox, i'm sure some of this is automated at this point, but what can I say, i'm oldschool... [20:17] vhelp! when i insert a microsoft wireless laser mouse USB receiver into my computer.... i see nothing light up and the mouse doesnt work. the mouse was working fine on my desktop and the USB port is fine too (verified by pluggins something else in)............ ideas? [20:17] odd-rationale: aaah i figured out what i did, my sound icon on my bar was my mic avtually! [20:18] njeriu: while your ethernet is connected, check the status of the network icon at the top right in the panel [20:18] odd-rationale: one other thing, where do i put a path vafriable in linux? [20:18] Cyntrox, and you really should read the twinview docs by nvidia...it is in the readme for their linux drivers [20:18] BenniBoya: ah gread, finally someone who shares his failures so others won't do the same :) thanks for that [20:18] BenniBoya: what is that? [20:18] rinaldi_ when i connect the cable all i can see is a flare for 15 seconds than nothing happens [20:18] it does not connect [20:19] arooni_, you mean it was working in the past on the same pc and ubuntu version? [20:19] "detlef@MD97600:~$ i2cdetect -l; i2c-0 unknown SMBus I801 adapter at 18e0 N/A." man i2cdetect: " i2cdetect -l: Output a list of installed busses." What busses are installed on my laptop computer? [20:19] kostkon, different PC, but running gutsy as well (now i want it to work on my laptop) [20:19] Cyntrox, ftp://download.nvidia.com/solaris/1.0-8178/README/appendix-g.html [20:19] I use ubuntu, and ssh-add is linekd against libkeyutils.. and now, if there are no identity keys opened, "ssh-add -l" pops up a window asking me for my passphrase, and wonders if I want to store it in keyring [20:19] I use _gutsy_ [20:19] Cyntrox, that's for solaris, but the idea is the same [20:20] upgraded today, from feisty [20:20] arooni_, first of all, open a terminal and do "lsusb" and see if you can see it in the list of usb devices [20:20] Ubuntu will crash often, like whenever I download something, switch workspaces, minimize something, or even when i open a window or menu [20:20] hi [20:20] njeriu: i ahve never connected to a network with a password over ethernet in ubuntu. anyone else know how to go about it?

[20:20] i have sound configured, but volume control panel and 'fn vol up| vol down' is not working, any idea? [20:20] kostkon, no i dont see it [20:20] how can i get emails in evolution not to show up in a separate window? [20:21] CorruptTerrorist: You don't own it [20:21] CorruptTerrorist: /home/ isn't writable by users generally [20:21] CorruptTerrorist: livecd possibly? [20:21] CorruptTerrorist, you can't write to home unless you are root [20:21] odd-rationale: like the path variable, export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/arm-elf/bin [20:21] beautifulsnow, how would i do that? [20:21] i tried all the command line as well but it didnot work out [20:21] Odd-rationale: you don't have to own a directory to write into it [20:21] panel says something about gstreamers and complements, but i cant find anything in google, any idea? [20:21] CorruptTerrorist: You only own /home/CorruptTerrorist [20:21] Jeanna: it's possible to write into your home directory using live CDs [20:21] arooni_, ok. it may have not been recognized [20:21] workspace-cube switching doesn't work [20:21] CorruptTerrorist: Try writing to it as root [20:21] kostkon, how can i fix that [20:21] whats the easiest was to install the low latency kernel in gutsy? === BernardB` is now known as BBking [20:22] Odd-rationale, how? === BBking is now known as BernardB [20:22] arooni_, ok. it may not have been recognized* [20:22] BenniBoya - think you can add a line like export PATH=$PATH:/new/bit/of/path in your .bashrc file. that should add your /new/bit/of/path to the existing path [20:22] CorruptTerrorist: Use sudo [20:22] kostkon, ok how can i fix that ? ;p [20:22] workspace-cube switching doesn't work [20:22] !nickspam > bernardb [20:22] oh ok [20:22] got display driver issues can anyone help, please [20:22] sharperguy: add the ubunu studio repos and install it [20:22] hoarycripple: im i wrong to assume that i have to disable the x xinerama and enable the nvidias? And does this work with Compiz? [20:22] danad: i tried that, i placed it at the bottom and it didnt work [20:22] dooglus: hm okay.. i as a beginner thought writing to home from a liveCD is hella work regarding to guide the home to a flashstick / usbhdd / formatted partition..

[21:12] DRebellion_: And how do i debug it? [21:12] riad, what happens when you try to shut down? [21:12] mehrab, have a look in /etc/fstab and see which partition relates to that uuid. It must exist [21:12] anyone have any idea why it does this?

[21:13] have tried that and i still cannot use things like the compiz cube [21:13] is there away we can disable the 'keyring' when the pc boots up? i know its related to the wireless connection [21:13] pirl: Is it commented out? (# in front of the lines) [21:13] riad, does it go through any shutdown procedure? [21:13] no, it's not [21:13] what command are you issuing riad [21:13] rikkimaru: so the resize did not work? [21:13] Odd-rationale: nope [21:13] everytime i read a solution found on google, it ends up causing more problems [21:13] oh .. yeah, one of them is [21:13] AstorZZZ, look up some opengl c++ tutorials on the net or buy/rent a book [21:13] in relation to this problem i mean [21:13] Odd-rationale: i'll try it on the livecd again, perhaps get a more useful error [21:13] can anyone here help with enabling 3D i have Nvidia 8800GT and its intel based system [21:13] either the menu commands or command line like sudo shutdown -h now [21:13] CorruptTerrorist: not sure, but maybe it helps if you remove the old kernels [21:13] DRebellion_: hell, no, i expect to proceed with more complex apps, how do i debug em? [21:13] rikkimaru: You might want to try the official live GParted CD. [21:14] Someone tell me where to find the asterisk sound files. [21:14] fliegenderfrosch, how? [21:14] CorruptTerrorist: just search for "linux-image" in synaptic [21:14] Can anyone help me with my audio issue? [21:14] AstorZZZ, perhaps you should learn gdb [21:14] yes it goes through the procedure but it doesnt power off or show anything [21:14] DRebellion_: usually books dont cover compiling opengl apps with g++ from terminal [21:14] CorruptTerrorist: and remove the older ones [21:14] pirl: As long as one is not commented out, it is fine [21:14] Squawk: ok, ok I think I realized what happened [21:14] CorruptTerrorist, you trying to get nvidia working with a new kernel? if so, prepare to bang you head against a wall for days [21:15] no ones been able to solve the keyring at boot up issue [21:15] ok .. then it should be fine then ? but it calls it "Failsafe device" ? [21:15] ? [21:15] riad can you issue a shutdown -h now and then dump the contents of ps aux to pastebin [21:15] my flash keeps freezing in epiphany [21:15] it sounds like something is holding it up [21:15] prasanna: what exactly is your issue? [21:15] AstorZZZ: you might be better served asking these questions on ##c and ##c++ [21:15] pirl: sounds like your failsafe device is nvidia. failsafe should be vesa.. Strange [21:15] hm [21:16] nickrud_: well, its relevant, because i'm looking for a working-out of the box IDE for ubuntu [21:16] so .. then I should try to make vesa fail ... ? :P [21:16] the keyring pop up at startup [21:16] pirl: want to send me your xorg.conf? [21:16] ok [21:16] prasanna: which ubuntu version are you using? [21:16] having to enter it everytime it boots up, must be away to automatically have it registered [21:16] What can i do so my XMMS works? it seems to think my audio is in use but I can play MP3's on VLC fine [21:16] if I'm able to find it .. :P *noob* [21:16] Package linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic has no available version, but exists in the database. [21:16] 7.10 [21:16] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:16] ^^ that's the problem [21:16] AstorZZZ: you're gonna find more people who do compilation there. c and c++ is not specific to ubuntu, and this is meant to be a support channel for ubuntu issues [21:17] how to dump ps contents...i cannot see anything in the screen once i issue the command [21:17] OK I'm out of here [21:17] hi [21:17] right... how do i reinstall ubuntu? [21:17] brambo, something else has a handle on your audio, you can logout/back in to get it to release, or, if FF is open, that might be doing it, shut down all your instances of FF [21:17] riad, you should [21:17] anyone have experience getting pdt setup with eclipse and other plugins so that it doesn't crash? [21:17] prasanna: have you used the common-pamkeyring workaround in feisty and then upgraded? [21:17] AstorZZZ: try this guide for compiling and running C++ apps with g++. It is really easy to follow [21:17] riad so everything goes black immediately after issuing that shell command? [21:17] CorruptTerrorist, just like you installed it [21:17] FF ? [21:17] yes [21:17] AstorZZZ: http://gentoo-wiki.com/StartingCPP [21:18] are you doing this within X [21:18] no, was a fresh 7.10 install [21:18] neverblue: FF ? what is this? [21:18] brambo, FireFox [21:18] jeffMASTERflex: thanks! [21:18] brambo, feature freeze for ubuntu+1 (was on feb 14th) [21:18] neverblue: firefox is using my audio ? [21:18] i realize its related to the wireless connection [21:18] brambo, re-read, I said if [21:19] prasanna: is libpam-gnome-keyring installed? [21:19] neverblue: I'll try to logout in back in [21:19] riad are you doing this within X [21:19] zossso: looks like I'm having a lot of them :P like xorg.conf5, xorg.conf backup etc. [21:19] MrMist, any luck? [21:19] receiving ? [21:19] wow... a reinstall after 1 day [21:19] what do u mean by within X [21:19] let me check [21:19] neverblue: its done this before but then suddently worked again in a little bit [21:19] utkan0s: as i say im new to this and i dont understand why i cannot install this new driver release from nvidia? is it something im doing wrong? or is something missing [21:19] neverblue: i have audio but just XMMS dont wanna play [21:19] with a nick like that CorruptTerrorist, I would imagine that everyday :D [21:19] are you at a GUI or just at a CLI riad [21:20] CorruptTerrorist: i still don't think reinstalling is necessary [21:20] Joff is glibc installed [21:20] GUI [21:20] pirl: not receiving yet [21:20] but i cn use terminal [21:20] riad gnome or kde [21:20] fliegenderfrosch, give me an alternative [21:20] should I try to send it again ? [21:20] brambo, as I explained, something has a hold of your audio, and isnt releasing it to xmms, thats all I can say [21:20] fliegenderfrosch, yes it is [21:20] pirl: sure [21:20] gnome [21:20] should it be? [21:20] yes [21:20] where is possible to install the latest glibc from the repo [21:20] prasanna: hm... then there should be a checkbox in the password dialog not to show the dialog again [21:20] neverblue: ok ill just logout n back in and see what happens [21:20] riad /etc/init.d/gdm stop ..this will kill X [21:21] issue a shutdown when you get back to the terminal [21:21] utkan0s: how would i check this? [21:21] CorruptTerrorist: reloading of the packages list doesn't help neither? [21:21] Joff try synaptic package manager, search for glibc [21:21] zossso: maybe I have to configure this irc-thingy as well .. ? ;D [21:21] riad you will most likely lose connection to us, im curious what happens when you issue a shutdown from outside of x [21:21] utkan0s there is a glibc-doc that is not installed, is this what you mean? [21:22] Joff - apt-cache search glibc [21:22] no [21:22] joff what else is there [21:22] that isnt installed [21:22] ere4si: there's got to be a editor for this !? Can I create my own theme ? [21:23] no checkbox [21:23] MrMist, could you open the gconf editor? [21:23] utkan0s: too many to list [21:24] MrMist, gnome-look has a tutorial for theme making [21:24] pirl: ...or the transfer problem is on my end. I'm new to this IRC client [21:24] utkan0s: glibc on its own is not in the list [21:25] hello [21:25] it is the same [21:25] So i compile a hello world app with g++ [21:25] I'm new to this one too .. using Pidgin .. it doesn't have any options conserning file-transfers [21:25] I ran it from terminal [21:25] Funny thing - there's no output [21:25] ere4si: Hmm.. do you know how I adjust the transparency of unfocused windows ? [21:25] Anyone have any experiance installing the realtime kernel on a dell laptop (the E5whatever) [21:25] wonder if anyone can help, the edit menu option wont open, says starting edit menu and then nothing happens [21:26] So i wrote some stuff to txt file to make sure it actually works [21:26] neverblue: its something in KDE doing it, soon as i logon under Gnome its all good again...thanks for your help though [21:26] Well, it works [21:26] But why there's no output in the console? [21:26] brambo, its not 'KDE' directly [21:26] Ah, I'm using 'x-chat GNOME' [21:26] MrMist, you need compiz for that I think - I don't do eye candy stuff - sorry [21:26] same blank screen and it didnot shutdown [21:26] Using my hardware volume up/down and mute buttons, gnome shows the square in the middle that says what the volume is, but it doesn't change. What is going on? [21:26] neverblue: what are you saying? [21:26] AstorZZZ: mine had output in the console. i followed the exact instructions on the site [21:26] pidgin was already installed with ubuntu .. so ... [21:26] Joff is libc6 installed [21:27] ere4si: gnome-look ? [21:27] brambo, its working, be happy :D [21:27] pirl: don't know about pidgin. Might not be file transfer capable. [21:27] joff - to see if glibc is installed type dpkg-query --status pkgname [21:27] MrMist, I'll get a link [21:27] neverblue: yeah i just wanted to use it under the new KDE4 desktop I got :D [21:27] well, there is an option, but .. nothing happens obviously [21:27] ;P [21:27] brambo, thats another channel :D [21:27] hello :) [21:27] AstorZZZ: look at the summary at the end. once it compiles, you have to run it with "./hello" [21:27] joff - or try a dpkg -l | grep glibc [21:28] neverblue: well thats why ur here now i know, thank u [21:28] I'm on a livecd trying to use gparted to resize my main partition. Can someone look at http://pastebin.ca/919548 and help me? Thanks [21:28] pirl: Here is a sample x.org for NVIDIA... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=339930 [21:28] it's called libc6 Joff [21:28] neverblue: :) [21:28] again the shutdown problem [21:28] if i wanted tohave ubuntu on a virtual machine using wmware which version would i need? vmware server? or what? [21:28] MrMist, http://www.gnome-look.org/ [21:28] riad what happened [21:28] same [21:28] jeffMASTERflex: oh, yeah, it works now too [21:28] neverblue: have u seen the name sudobash in here lately? [21:28] riad were you at a console only [21:28] not a terminal within X [21:28] libc6 is listed as installed and ok [21:28] yes [21:28] brambo, nope, sorry [21:28] riad did it just freeze [21:28] if i wanted tohave ubuntu on a virtual machine using wmware which version would i need? vmware server? or what? [21:28] So, now i've got a working hello world app / file IO [21:29] neverblue: k ty...im gonna go thanks 4 all ya help [21:29] but i ran your command from root terminal [21:29] Joff do you have the dev packages installed associated with it [21:29] usurper: vmware player should be enough, you then just have to create the vm with an other tool [21:29] riad were you able to type commands after you issued the shutdown? [21:29] usurper: alternatively you could use virtualbox [21:29] i hate to say, but i havent a clue? [21:29] neverblue: ubuntu forever :D [21:29] Joff look in synaptic packaged manager, search for libc6 [21:29] Joff install everything that makes sense [21:29] Howdy, so how do i compile hello world apps it in anjuta? [21:29] I upgraded to hardy and now the NetworkManager keeps reporting me as offline [21:29] i cannot type any command after [21:29] "virtualbox" is a name for another virtual machine maker [21:29] The problem is, it only generats an .o file [21:30] *generates [21:30] i rebooted [21:30] every time I open pidgin or epiphany I have to tell them to go online. [21:30] riad can you reboot ok? === samel is now known as Euclydes [21:30] yes [21:30] utkan0s: i think this is where the problem is, as none of this makes sense to me === Euclydes is now known as Euclydex [21:30] riad when you issued the shutdown from the client did the screen go black or just freeze [21:30] usurper: yes, i know, thats why i said "alternatively" [21:30] how can I force epiphany to always open in "online" mode? [21:30] but i cannot suspend , hibernate or shutdown [21:30] Joff.. there is a bit of a learning curve [21:31] I'm on a livecd trying to use gparted to resize my main partition. Can someone look at http://pastebin.ca/919548 and help me? Thanks [21:31] utkan0s: i figure that [21:31] Joff, do you know what synaptic package manager is [21:31] blank [21:31] joff - dpkg -l | grep libc6 ... if libc6-dev pops up in the output you have it installed [21:31] Joff sometimes programs need the dev libraries [21:31] When i compile a hello world app in anjuta it only generates a .o file, there're no executables! [21:31] utkan0s: yes im there but there are around 20 items in the list and am unsure as to what is needed [21:31] hi, is it possible to connect two laptops with their wireless for internet and file sharing? [21:31] Joff, grab libc6-dev [21:31] mohi: yes, it's callled ad-hoc [21:31] i see a libc6-dev in there thats not installed [21:32] if you dont have it [21:32] install that Joff [21:32] and try your nvidia shell script again [21:32] you dont need anything else in the list, i just checked [21:32] I have a problem with asterisk at bootup, it starts before the network is fully up, so all the channels are not initialized. Is there a way to configure the init scripts so that it waits for a network interface to be up first? [21:32] kelk1 parle français?? [21:32] ere4si: it's a metacity theme I'm creating then, right ? [21:32] or GTK ? [21:32] AtomicSpark: tanx. should I install any package? is it possible with a XO and ubuntu? [21:32] i have to ask, but how is a newbie like me suposed to know that? [21:32] rikkimaru, you can't use gparted on a mounted partition [21:33] how do i set my host name [21:33] so... [21:33] lomener: try #ubuntu-fr [21:33] ere4si: It wasn't mounted before gparted started [21:33] thx [21:33] MrMist, probably [21:33] pirl: gotta go, but good luck to you [21:33] rikkimaru, the live cd must have mounted it [21:33] robot_jesus - use the hostname command in a terminal [21:34] ere4si: when I ran sudo umount /dev/sda1 before running gparted, it claimed it wasn't mounted [21:34] ok utkan0s, will leave here as i have to stop the gui to do it [21:34] AstorZZZ, click build project [21:34] hello, how do you specify a ./configure option (--foo=bar) when you install via apt-get? [21:34] ere4si: but after it, it is mounted [21:34] robot_jesus - type man hostname in the terminal for help [21:34] Joff ok [21:34] riad are you 100% positive you were outside of X [21:34] do u think there is no solutions for my problem [21:34] thanks for the help if i dont get back :) [21:34] mohi: it's more of a driver setting then "installing packages". i'm not sure how you do it in ubuntu. [21:34] rikkimaru, that is what your paste says [21:34] yes [21:34] riad it's a common X issue but I've never seen it from outside X [21:34] zossso: pir1 or was supposed to be Pirk, but that was taken .. well, here I am, trying again :P [21:35] natto: the debs are pre-built. for special compile time options, you need to compile it yourself [21:35] ere4si: so... why is gparted angry at itself for mounting /dev/sda1 then? [21:35] rikkimaru, try sudo umount -v etc to get a confirmation that it was unmounted [21:35] danand: thx [21:35] Hey all [21:35] jeffMASTERflex: thanks [21:35] i just got the GroupWise client working in Ubuntu 7.10 , blogged @ http://jonasbjork.blogspot.com/ [21:35] jeffMASTERflex: so in order to make the configuration most like the apt-get one, would you just copy the configuration and use it for compiling? [21:36] ere4si: can't find the tutorial [21:36] Anyone here use the realtime kernel on a dell (ubuntu preinstalled) laptop? [21:36] riad when you stopped gdm did it drop you to just text? [21:36] hmmm [21:36] I was in the middle of an upgrade to Feisty, and along hte way it errored...trying to install gconf2, something about needing python2.5, but 2.4 is installed..I have tried installing 2.5 manually, as well as removing 2.4 before hand..but it won't let me [21:36] MrMist, are you trying to make ubuntu look like a mac? [21:36] does pidgin sWck with irc .. ? [21:36] natto: i don't know what you mean, i usually read the readme and install files in the source packages to determine what options i can compile in [21:36] ere4si: Yeah, that's what I'm after [21:37] hi, is it possible to connect two laptops with their wireless for internet and file sharing? [21:37] progfunk: try xchat === roald_ is now known as qzyR [21:37] jeffMASTERflex: i mean, i'm assuming apt-get has some standard ways of putting files, to ease uninstalling [21:37] MrMist, google mac4lin - someones already done the work [21:37] jeffMASTERflex: and i would like to stick to these standards if possible [21:37] <[-NetBoy-]> re [21:37] hi. Anyone else finding repo downloads reaallly ssllloooowwww? [21:37] natto: yes, you can build your own debs to ease uninstalling later. [21:38] zossso: did it get any better ? .. *trying to fix things* [21:38] how can I get network manager to always report me as online? [21:38] ere4si: It was unmounted, and I got the same error when I tried again [21:38] well i mean, if you compile it yourself, Synaptic won't be happy right? [21:38] ere4si: can I run the commands without gparted? [21:38] natto: to do it the sloppy and unrecommended way, you can use checkinstall. to do it the nice way, you can use debhelper [21:38] scudDA: they are ok for me, maybe you should try a different mirror? [21:38] jeffMASTERflex: alright, i'll check that out, thanks a lot [21:39] rikkimaru, what commands? - the program to partitions' commands? [21:39] Here is the error I get when I try to restart the dist-upgrade since it failed... http://rafb.net/p/94RZ8O82.html [21:39] ere4si: yes, like in the error report it attempted to run 'e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda1' [21:39] HI all, should be a real easy question but the forums give me answers to related questions; How do I list the users of a specific group? [21:40] rikkimaru, you can run that - but the filesystem needs to be unmounted [21:40] ... [21:40] ere4si: okay, but I assume there are more commands than just that to resize it, right? [21:41] actually, that doesn't make sense: i'm trying to install ffmpeg with mp3lame [21:41] hi all [21:41] all guides i read for ubuntu show --enable-mp3lame on after you apt-get lame [21:41] hello ppl [21:41] Fireal, type groups userID where userID is the user you want to check [21:41] for ffmpeg [21:41] rikkimaru, try the force option umount -fv etc [21:42] ere4si: It claims it's not mounted after I run it once [21:42] utkan0s: that's almost what I'm after. I want all users to a group, not all groups a user is a memeber of [21:42] xiven - have you tried running sudo apt-get install python2.5 ? or do you still get errors? [21:42] Does anyone where have some spare time that they can waste on me? I'm looking for some information about SSH and what all I can do with it. [21:42] utkan0s: like group root is my username and my brother's but not my sister's etc. [21:42] bluewraith: feel free to pm me [21:43] zossso : thank you for being helpful, but I think I'll have to call it a day.. (just try one more thing) [21:43] rikkimaru, I'm at a lost then - never have probs with gparted... [21:43] ere4si: when I try it w/ qtparted I can't resize :/ [21:44] progfunk: piro? [21:44] yeah [21:44] :P [21:44] suddenly there came a message about my name being taken and stuff [21:44] so .. had to change [21:45] progfunk: i see... I don't know if file transfers are allowed on this server. [21:45] Fireal, getent group groupname [21:45] like this? [21:45] oh [21:45] rikkimaru, try sudo umount -a ext3 -ond [21:45] progfunk: I can't seem to private message you [21:45] hm [21:45] Using my hardware volume up/down and mute buttons, gnome shows the square in the middle that says what the volume is, but it doesn't change. What is going on? [21:45] Fireal, you can also look in /etc/group [21:46] tgelter: you get the messages? just curious, havn't used IRC in years [21:46] HI! Has anybody noticed a problem with python on hardy today? [21:46] because it kinda broke here [21:46] rikkor is it windows your resizing [21:46] oops [21:46] utkan0s: Ahh, I think that is the answer...Thanks! [21:46] np [21:46] well .. Pidgin doesn't tell me wheter it's working or not .. [21:47] but you don't seem to respond to the message, so I guess it doesn't work the other way either [21:47] hm .. I left :P [21:47] should've used another client .. [21:47] bluewraith: I pm'd you [21:48] progfunk: ha... yeah you left. I like x-chat gnome. might try that [21:48] Imaginal - how annoying :(. think i had a similar problem with xine - when i used the volume control nothing happened. turned out xine was trying to change the wrong thing. not sure how you would find out what device that is trying to control though [21:49] so in OO, how do you enter two liens of text in a cell when using Excel? [21:49] It is not clear how to install something from a .tar.gz archive. I am trying to install the following: http://avant-window-navigator.googlecode.com/files/avant-window-navigator-0.1.1-2.tar.gz Can someone give me a hand? [21:49] Photocopy, read the "readme" file in it. [21:50] Photocopy, have you tried adding the repository for it? [21:50] Photocopy: this program is available as a deb from www.getdeb.net I advise you get it from there if you want [21:50] PriceChild: It is not clear. [21:50] there's one somewhere, I'm sure [21:50] Photocopy, are you trying to install AWN? [21:50] jeffMASTERflex: Ill look [21:50] yep, on getdeb, there's where it is [21:50] mrpockets: Yes [21:50] ppvanzella: Eh? [21:50] i also am a super noob in linux, but keep googeling it, there is a package for it thats pretty self explanitory [21:51] *installing bitchx and xchat-gnome* [21:51] progfunk: cool [21:51] Imaginal - check your keyboard make model and layout is correct in system -> prefs -> keyboard [21:51] Photocopy: www.getdeb.net, get the .deb for awn there [21:51] or, if you're running Hardy, just apt-get install avant-windo-navigator [21:51] window* [21:52] ok .. I'll be back [21:52] k [21:52] ppvanzella: Theres unhandled dependencies when i try to use that [21:52] Imaginal - also you can look and set what controls what events in system -> prefs -> keyboard shortcuts [21:52] Photocopy: and can't gedebi solve them? [21:53] Photocopy: are you running gutsy? [21:53] hm [21:53] is this the same channel ? :P [21:53] ppvanzella: Yes [21:53] progfunk: yes [21:53] danand: the keys seem to work, and show the volume going up or down... but no response. The keyboard appears to be mapped right, but there is a disconnect somewhere [21:53] I was thrown into this before doing anything [21:53] alright, I'll find you the repository [21:53] hehe [21:53] what is the meta package for the 32bit libs on amd64? [21:53] Photocopy: yes, you need to install the dependencies on the site first before you install the actual program. they are there on the getdeb page for awn [21:54] progfunk: me too. that's why i'm here [21:54] ppvanzella: It doesnt say it can solve them, it says dependency is not satisfyabe. [21:54] no they arent. [21:54] hehe ;D [21:54] najs [21:54] danand: also, it used to work, meaning I likely broke it at some point [21:54] right-click my name.. see if you can send me a file [21:54] Photocopy: yes they are. i see them and installed them myself right now [21:54] Imaginal - oops :( [21:54] No, libpango1.0-0 [21:54] well, gedebi usually finds them and installs them for you [21:55] tell me where you see that package? Its required for libawn [21:55] which is required for the others. [21:55] ah, alright, libawn is not in the repos [21:55] tgelter: found my problem... need to register. oups [21:55] ppvanzella: Libawn is on the site [21:55] zossso: does anything happen ? [21:55] libpango1.0-0 is not, which is required for libawn in the first place [21:55] here we go, Photocopy, add the gutsy-backports repository [21:55] Photocopy: are you using gutsy? if you are there shouldn't be any depend issues installing libawn [21:55] on synaptic [21:56] jeffMASTERflex: yes im using gutsy [21:56] and avant-window-navigator and libawn should be there [21:56] ppvanzella: Im afraid i wont do that until you read what i wrote [21:56] Photocopy: then you might want to enable the backports repository for updates, because i do not have that issue myself [21:56] progfunk: nope. not allowed on this server. Want to try a different server? [21:56] oh, sorry [21:56] i run 10/04 on a amd64. now i want to install a 32-bit firefox because of flash. but trying to install the ia32-libs apt says it cant find it. (universe is enabled though) [21:56] ok [21:56] libpango? I'm pretty sure it's on the repos [21:56] ppvanzella: libawn and awn are both on getdeb themselves, theres libpango1.0-0 as a dependency of libawn [21:57] progfunk: I'm on EFNet channel #perl [21:57] bluewraith: pm me back when you get it figured out [21:57] that's odd [21:57] Photocopy: it is very odd. you should have libpango installed at version 1.18.3 [21:57] ppvanzella: There are other libpangos in synaptic. [21:57] how do I run two servers at once ? [21:57] :P [21:58] there is not 1.0-0 [21:58] progfunk, what sort of servers? [21:58] tgelter: will do.. but /register don't work... whats the right command? Sheesh I feel like such a noob [21:58] IRC-> Connect [21:58] haven't used irc for years [21:58] what version is there? [21:58] Hi... is it possible to prevent fsck from running automatically when running from battery power? Every 30 startups have an uncanny ability to coincide with things like presentations... [21:58] jeffMASTERflex: Apparently not. [21:58] irc [21:58] with xchat gnome [21:58] did you download the gutsy version on getdeb? [21:58] progfunk: IRC -> Connect... will open in new window [21:58] ppvanzella: Older versions [21:58] because 1.0.0 is on hardy I think [21:58] is Felipe Venegas wrote 2 hours ago: (permalink) [21:58] crap. [21:59] is Felipe Venegas in here? [21:59] it was that easy .. :P [21:59] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu gutsy main [21:59] Photocopy: this is the repository [21:59] ppvanzella: wait, nevermind, its in there [21:59] bluewraith: /msg nickserv register PASSWORD EMAIL [21:59] alright ;) [21:59] ppvanzella: I know, its in synaptic [21:59] ppvanzella: The package libpango1.0-0 is already installed [21:59] tgelter: thanks. Just googled it. *hits self* [21:59] ppvanzella: marked by a green square. [22:00] yep [22:00] so it's all good [22:00] ppvanzella: And at the newest version [22:00] ppvanzella: No, it not all good, gdebi still says i need it [22:00] really? *Odd* [22:01] and it can't install it? [22:01] ppvanzella: definitely a local issue for Photocopy. i just installed from getdeb without issues [22:01] what version of libpango it says on synaptic that yu have [22:01] Hello [22:01] jeffMASTERflex: I installed from the main repos here [22:01] on hardy [22:01] jeffMASTERflex: Alright, then no awn for me then? [22:02] Hi... is it possible to prevent fsck from running automatically when running from battery power? Every 30 startups have an uncanny ability to coincide with things like presentations... [22:02] Photocopy: try adding the awn repo ppvanzella provided [22:02] utkan0s: still have an issue mate [22:02] New to this. I am trying to move user information from one server to the other one. I was able to get passwd, group, shadow, and gshadow onto the new server, but I cannot get the home folders to move. I tarred the old home folder, I can extract it on the new server, but cannot get the home folders into the home folder on the new server. [22:02] jeffMASTERflex: He didn't provide me one, or he didnt highlight my name when he did it [22:03] chazco: tune2fs [22:03] How do I extract a RAR split up into multiple parts? All I can manage to do is go through and individually extract each piece, which means any files split up end up with just one part [22:03] hi all. having troublw with update manager. It is stuck "downloading package information" at file 30 of 47 [22:03] Joff, same message? [22:03] Anyone know what controls the theme for the Gnome Panel? [22:03] Photocopy: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu gutsy main [22:03] void^ - That disables it completely iirc, and isnt the best solution. I just want to prevent it running the 30-boot check when not on battery [22:03] Photocopy: there it is [22:03] ppvanzella: What do I do with this? [22:03] utkan0s: after eboot i got the "cannot determine screen or adapter" message so im back to square one and still cant get things like the cube to work [22:04] you put it at the end of your /etc/apt/sources.list [22:04] just tried installing 3 progs and failed all [22:04] how do I do that? [22:04] Photocopy: go to Settings/Repositories in Synaptic [22:04] rebooted back to winxp [22:04] lol [22:04] chazco, use tune2fs with the -i parameter and you can set when you want it done [22:04] Photocopy: then you aptitude update and aptitude install avant-window-navigator [22:04] linux is going to take me a while to learn [22:04] when I type in the command "man 3 calloc" it says No manual entry for calloc in section 3, I'm guessing I don't have a section 3, anyone know how to fix this? [22:04] setting 0 will disable it forever, you can put in your own values [22:04] ppvanzella: Alright then... [22:04] utkan0s - But I might not know... take the laptop to a lecture, connect to the projector and suddently everyone gets to watch 30 minutes of disk checking... [22:05] jeffMASTERflex: ? [22:05] Photocopy: tell me if something goes wrong [22:05] Sometimes its not possible to know when i'll need to use it in advance [22:05] Anyone know what controls the theme for the Gnome Panel? [22:05] anyone know how to clear the files downloaded so far from the update manager? [22:05] chazco, then just run it manually [22:05] !binary [22:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about binary - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:05] urgh [22:05] Photocopy: there is a 3rd party software section. click on add and input the repo line he gave you [22:05] How do I extract a RAR split up into multiple parts? All I can manage to do is go through and individually extract each piece, which means any files split up end up with just one part [22:05] utkan0s: i cant activate the EXTRA option in Appearance because it asks to use the driver but when i do it reboots and i get the Cant Determine error [22:05] whats that binary frivers trigger [22:05] Still doesnt solve it unless i run it many times [22:05] jeffMASTERflex: I did, now what? [22:05] *drivers === jerome_ is now known as Jahromeo [22:05] chazco, it's either on, off, or scheduled [22:05] scudDA-> apt-get clean [22:05] Photocopy: click reload [22:05] what kjind of behavior are you looking for it to do? [22:05] utkan0s: i now have a headache [22:06] ppvanzella: Duh, i meant after [22:06] Photocopy: make sure it is checked as enabled, then hit the reload button in synaptic [22:06] utkan0s - On someone elses laptop it says that its skipped due to being on battery, but mine doesnt do that [22:06] Joff, I'm not too familiar with the cube or any of that business.. never had a need for it, sorry man [22:06] AHemlocksLie: if it actually is a multipart rar, 'unrar x first.part.rar' will extract all of them. [22:06] chazco, ah [22:06] Anyone know what controls the theme for the Gnome Panel? [22:06] !binary_drivers [22:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about binary_drivers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:06] jeffMASTERflex: Now what though? [22:06] argh [22:06] void^ thanks [22:06] Photocopy: now find avant-window-navigator, it should be there somewhere [22:06] And its really, really a serious bug. Means Ubuntu is unusable sometimes [22:06] utkan0s basically i cant activate any of the perfomance options of the gui [22:06] when I do "man 3 calloc" it returns No manual entry for calloc in section 3, anyone know how to fix this? [22:06] ppvanzella: There isnt one this time. [22:06] ah got it [22:06] Photocopy: search for "avant" and install the package named "avant-window-navigator" [22:06] !binarydriver [22:07] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [22:07] ppvanzella: Theres avant-window-navigator-bzr.... thats the closest thing [22:07] yep [22:07] that's it [22:07] there's also an avant-window-navigator-trunk, right? [22:07] ppvanzella: Didnt work [22:07] jeffMASTERflex: thanks again, you cured a very horrible headache of mine [22:07] either one should be fine [22:07] woot >< [22:07] chazco, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoFsck [22:07] avant-window-navigator-bzr: [22:07] Depends: libawn-bzr but it is not going to be installed [22:07] Depends: libpango1.0-0 (>=1.18.3) but 1.18.2-0ubuntu1 is to be installed [22:07] Depends: libawn-bzr but it is not going to be installed [22:08] oops sorry [22:08] Photocopy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:08] amenado: Tried that, but when I go to update and click "check" it goes stright to file 30 of 47 and gets stuck... [22:08] Photocopy: are all the ubuntu repos active? [22:08] chazco, that seems like a decent compromise [22:08] ppvanzella: I dont know [22:08] Reading it now [22:08] Hello, I'm looking for a little bit of help - I've managed to get stuck with two ext partitions on my USB key that I cannot access or delete in Windows. I don't have access to linux, so I wanted to know if anyone can point me in the direction of a good piece of software to delete the whole kit-n-kaboodle [22:09] Photocopy: go back to the repos section of synaptic and enable all the Ubuntu repos [22:09] Seveas: hehe [22:09] scudDA-> try sudo apt-get autoclean [22:09] jeffMASTERflex: How do I know I even have all of the repos? [22:09] The ATI drivers in the gutsy repositories still require Xgl, right? [22:09] Flare183, sorry, I needed a vitim for testing the new ubotu2 :) [22:09] Photocopy: they're all there, they can just not be checked [22:09] djerodek: do you need fles off those partitions or could you just format the drive? [22:09] is there anyway to make my disk stay the same name..? [22:09] Seveas: ok one sec [22:09] Photocopy: just check all the ones except the one named "source code" on the ubuntu software tab [22:09] I just want the space back [22:10] I don't care about what's on 'em [22:10] jeffMASTERflex: play [22:10] jeffMASTERflex: okay* done [22:10] Photocopy: now try again [22:10] jeffMASTERflex: They were all fine. checked except source. [22:10] Photocopy: also go to the tab named Updates and enable all of them except "pre-release updates" [22:10] ppvanzella: Same error. [22:11] jeffMASTERflex: That was done too [22:11] weird³ [22:11] weird [22:11] can anyone else shed some light on this? i am trying to install the correct driver for my Nvidia 8600 GT XXX Edition, the driver has been installed (took some working out, done it now thanks to utkan0s) but when i use it and reboot it gives me the "cannot determine your screen or adapter" message and i cant use any advanced performance options for the gui ie. desktop cube [22:11] i tried again [22:11] Photocopy: there's another package there, Avant-window-navigator-trunk [22:11] and now its installing [22:11] alright! \o/ [22:11] amenado. Sorry, no change with autoclean. Where are those files? Will deleting them help with it getting stuck? [22:11] sweet! [22:11] ppvanzella: I clicked install again. now whats this trunk thing [22:12] jeffmaster: I just want to delete the partitions - I don't care what's on them [22:12] I clean myself with a rag on a stick [22:12] Joff your xorg file doesn't sound configured properly [22:12] Photocopy: it was just if that package didn't work [22:12] ppvanzella: Does it turn on upon boot or do I have to do it myself? [22:12] scudDA-> i think they are at /var/cache/apt [22:12] Joff check /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... i'm sure there are tons of guides out there for this cube thing you want that show you what to put in that file [22:12] djerodek: I would have thought you could format it from Windows [22:12] Photocopy: you have to do i yourself. add it in System/Preferences/Sessions [22:12] Joff make sure you back up that file before modifying it too [22:12] Photocopy: I think there's an option somewhere in the to do it, altho I just put mine winder sections [22:12] under* [22:13] Nah - I can't touch them because they're seen as the extension of an NTFS partition [22:13] It's weird. [22:13] (the problem with AWN is that it can cover the text bar here ¬¬) [22:13] ppvanzella: Whats teh command to run it anyway? [22:13] avant-window-navigator [22:13] utkan0s thanks i have just realised ive missed it as you said it haha, will look now [22:13] ewww. maybe you could format it from linux? Download a live CD and boot it. [22:13] Photocopy: avant-window-navigator [22:13] Joff, definitely back that file up [22:13] k thanks [22:14] Can't boot live CDs - the HP laptop I have doesn't like 'em [22:14] I gotta reboot cause i also got updates isntalled now [22:14] thanks [22:14] Photocopy: and make sure you had awn-manager or installed [22:14] Djerodek-> lest you have a driver for ext in xp, xp cant really see and read that partition [22:14] okay [22:14] I'm in Vista, but yeah [22:15] hi i just put in one 500gb ide drive and my controller detects it, but when i've booted the install cd i cant test mount it, any ideas? [22:15] Joff, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2895086 [22:15] alright, my turn to complain: The today's hardy update broke part of python [22:15] loxley_, what happens when you try to mount it? [22:15] Is anybody having this problem, or has a solution to it? [22:15] loxley_, do you have created some partitions? [22:15] !hardy | ppvanzella [22:15] ppvanzella: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [22:15] amenado: that folder contains archives (folder), pkgcache.bin and srcpkgcache.bin [22:15] OMG [22:15] OMG [22:15] oh, sorry [22:16] loxley_: stop [22:16] fucking n00b i am [22:16] Pici: thanks, problem solved [22:16] can someone help with having update problems with a PC that is set to a static IP address? i dont want to type out all the background for nothing. [22:16] does anyone know of a package I can install that will basically monitor stuff about the system (mem usage, processes/threads, etc) and show me near-realtime stats on a webpage? [22:16] duvnell_, mrtg can do that [22:17] Hmmmm [22:17] isn't that just network traffic? [22:17] scudDA-> try sudo apt-get -f install it does a sanity check for broken packages and tries to fix [22:17] duvnell: I believe there will be a nice process manager in Hardy. [22:17] duvnell_, you can configure it to show just about anything [22:17] duvnell_, or have a go with conky (thats real time) [22:17] LeChacal-> what is the problem during update? [22:17] utkan0s: i think i found it, the screen header was missing CODE: Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" [22:18] Joff, cool, hope that works out for you [22:18] utkanos: going to try now [22:18] k gl [22:18] utkan0s thanks again mate [22:18] np [22:18] duvnell_, but as an idea, I have mrtg showing cpu usage (dual core processor, shows individual cores), mem usage, and cached, plus network traffic. I was going to do fan speed, but felt like overkill (all that in gentoo mind, but wil work in ubuntu) [22:19] amenado: That says it has changed zero files. I guess the files already there are ok. It just doesn't want to download any more. [22:19] cool [22:19] can I have your installation :) ? [22:19] amenado: i can get out to Internet through firefox, i can ping google through terminal, but when i do a apt-get update it comes back with like host not found (i am not sitting at the PC now it is node0 of a soon to be beowulf cluster) [22:19] i typed free the fish in the run dialoge and this fish won't go away [22:19] scudDA-> what kind of error where you getting? [22:19] if i try to click him he leaves but not for long [22:19] i tried finding the process with htop but i dont'know what its called [22:20] some help pls! [22:20] xidarian: You need to kill gnome-panel [22:20] xidarian: Logout and log back in. [22:20] no error. It just says "downloading file 30 of 48" and does nothing. THis is when checking for updates, it's not even downloading the actual updates [22:20] LeChacal-> perhaps there was a typo on the url of the source? it should just move forward to the next in the list though [22:20] amenado: it is set to a public static ip address that my school owns but was unused for about a year and if i do a who is to see who own the domain it comes back with noone, if that makes a differnt [22:20] how can I tell what res my screen is currently at?

How do I manually get GRUB to install to the correct hard drive?? [22:21] CarlFK: xdpyinfo | grep dimens [22:21] scudDA-> perhaps its just a bit slow, calculates the gpg key and stuff...maybe wait for a few minutes?

[22:53] ere4si so im completely screwed in getting wine to work? [22:53] Khajavi you do realize firefox uses the X features via GTK..so if you dont have it in chroot, umm you are out of luck [22:53] skullmonkey: what are you trying to get wine to do? [22:53] rikkimaru: short answer: yes [22:53] Skullmonkey, wine will work - just not windows apps that need 3d... [22:54] bluewraith not freez my comp when i try to do anything with it [22:54] erUSUL: what if I already have a ext3 partition there? === ggg is now known as Jahromeo [22:54] i also wanted to ask where you now enable desktop effects [22:54] can someone point me in the right direction [22:54] skullmonkey: what are you trying to download with wine? Its more of an emulator for *some* windows programs... not really a download client [22:55] erUSUL: is there a way to move it? [22:55] rikkimaru: you will have to play tricks and fool the windows instaler i guess. Dunnno couse i never tried [22:55] is there a tutorial on how to customize edubuntu (or any other linux distro) to a particular school?

[22:56] rikkimaru: iirc you can not move the beggining of a ext3 partition but you better check it elsewhere [22:56] rikkimaru: have you tried gparted? Its a bootable live-cd that lets you move partitions around. its very slow work though. Took 3 hours to resize 200 gigs for me [22:56] Khajavi-> i dont know, i never tried it, but you know how chroot works? you may have to read tutorials and make sure the libraries it needs are inside it..and reachable [22:56] Skullmonkey, I don't do wine - sorry [22:56] skullmonkey: have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling wine? [22:56] has anyone here ever had fun with a forkbomb [22:56] bluewraith: I just finished manually resizing my partition (gparted wouldn't work), but I guess now i need to move it... [22:56] bluewraith yes [22:57] rikkimaru-> you want to do magic? hehehe..use gparted maybe, but if I were you, i'd save the data first [22:57] skullmonkey what program are you trying to get to run under wine? [22:57] Is there a good code editor that can show the differences between two revisions of a file, similar to what mediawiki will do? [22:57] amenado: i don't understand [22:57] bluewraith i havent tried any. i cant even open the window to configure wine. all my comp does is think then freeze completely [22:57] amenado: I've already resized it, it's just sitting at the front of the table [22:57] rikkimaru: do you have the gparted live cd or did you install gparted with APT? [22:58] hi, a little offtopic here. How to turn off that 'has joined' and 'has left' messages not to display on irssi? [22:58] prince_jammys: I've been using gparted off of my xubuntu livecd [22:58] prince_jammys: I don't have any blank Cds -_- [22:58] rikkimaru-> i dont know how you have moved/resize your partition, but you also then now have to re-arrange grub entry if you move the partitions [22:58] skullmonkey: what program do you use to start wine? [22:58] amenado: ok I read it again patiently.

[22:59] mneptok, you mean gedit, or is there a program called jedit? [22:59] amenado: I didn't try it for moving, but resizing failed because it kept mounting the drive it was trying to resize [22:59] i have xp pro and ubuntu dual booted, i want to remove xp and put on gentoo, should i just delete that partition and install gentoo on it? and gentoo boot loader should load my options for ubuntu? [22:59] amenado: do you know of another way to move it other than gparted? [23:00] if anyone is bored and doesn't mind having there computer freeze try this, its known as a fork bomb, dont' do it if you dont' want ot have ot do a hard reset tho, just type ":(){ :|:& };:" at the command prompt and hit enter, then wait a few, be careful tho, it will freeze ubuntu, you will have ot reboot [23:00] skullmonkey: under my install of wine, which I havn't realy used... I just open the windows exe of the file and wine takes over from there automatically.

[23:09] Digi: #compiz-fusion has people who know that stuff inside out [23:09] ok [23:09] KaiserM: give it some time, tzdata can tak a while [23:09] hoarycripple: "AstorZZZ, what is the output of top in a shell?" [23:09] how do you change the speed of your cursor on the touchpad [23:09] #compiz-fusion [23:09] top of the shell? [23:09] I gave it some 4 hours and it overheated my comp and froze [23:09] AstorZZZ, yeah, open a terminal and type in "top [23:09] Joff: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [23:09] AstorZZZ, "top" [23:10] AstorZZZ: In a shell, run "top" [23:10] Digi: on compizconfig on cube there is some background options, skydome... [23:10] the little circle quit spinning, too [23:10] ok, done [23:10] nickrud_: thanks [23:10] TrustNoOne: you would add some configs to /etc/X11/xorg.conf , man synaptics has all the options [23:10] AstorZZZ, something using a lot of cpu or ram? [23:10] nope [23:11] apps are loading slowly, switching between tabs in opera is slow [23:11] KaiserM: hm, what little circle would be running when sudo dpkg --configure -a is running? [23:11] AstorZZZ, did you turn off all/any eyecandy? [23:11] hoarycripple: i switched from gnome to xfce 4.0 [23:11] I was talking about when it snagged on tzdata [23:11] is there anything i can disable? [23:12] KaiserM: have you run that sudo command yet? [23:12] AstorZZZ, not familiar with xfce, but doesn't that have a built in composite manager too? are you running with the composite extension enabled? [23:12] yeah it executed, thank you [23:12] AstorZZZ: If you know how to use pastebin, run: top -b -n 1 | head 6 and copy the output to pastebin. [23:12] hi, how do I remove hard drives from my desktop in gnome? I want them mounted, I just don't want to see them on the desktop. [23:13] KaiserM: ok, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , you usually get more useful error messages in the terminal [23:13] can I use iTask on gnome? [23:13] billytwowilly: either mount them someplace other than /media, or run gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop and turn off show volumes [23:14] hoarycripple: i've no idea what's a composite manager [23:14] chris_d: no i dont :/ [23:15] nickrud: hold on a minute my landlord was at the door [23:15] it's takes a second or even two to just switch between tabs in opera [23:15] I have an ipod but dumped windows and my external harddrive got dropped whilst plugged in so i damaged the head. i hear there is a way to pull music off my ipod using amarok but am not sure how. anybody know? [23:15] AstorZZZ, in a terminal: less /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep Composite [23:16] hey guys, how do i get perl on apache? [23:16] AstorZZZ, if Composite is enabled, and xfwm4 is compiled with composite support, that will cause a slow down [23:16] nickrud_, I put them in /mnt/ and they still show up. [23:16] Hi, in need of some help, very new to the idea of Linux and chosen Ubuntu, just installed it and it installed just fine, but it freezes, I've seen that some people are having problems like this but I can't seem to get mine to work, I can move the mouse but thats it. I'm running an INtel Pentium 4 3.02, 1 gig of ram, any ideas? [23:17] CorruptTerrorist: you should only need to install libapache2-mod-perl2 , and maybe restart apache [23:17] oh ok [23:17] nickrud_, I don't want to turn off displaying all media, I still want my ipod and flash drives and cd's/dvd's to show up. [23:17] nickrud_, << sudo apt-get install apache libapache-mod-perl >> ? [23:17] hoarycripple: nuthin [23:17] How would one get gdb (or objdump) to output (dis)assembly that is in a format that is ready to be reassembled? [23:18] billytwowilly: a sec, gotta run deal with a problem, CorruptTerrorist no, the one I mentioned [23:18] root@andLinux:~$ ssh xx.xx.xx.xx [23:18] ssh: relocation error: ssh: symbol EVP_Cipher, version OPENSSL_0.9.8 not defined in file libcrypto.so.0.9.8 with link time reference [23:18] guys how to turn off notices such ass 'has quit' , 'joined'...? [23:18] it's not there [23:18] anyone know why this error ? [23:18] amarok won't show the songs on my hard drive. Is there a better media player that can sync with an ipod OR is there a way t fix this problem? [23:19] AstorZZZ, i don't know then...did you type it in exactly as above, caps and all? [23:19] hoarycripple: jup [23:19] spork969, banshee syncs with iPod well.. [23:19] How do i mount something to the harddrive and get grub to boot it? [23:19] kane77, thanks ill try that [23:19] I have an iso that I want to boot from [23:20] AstorZZZ, sorry...i'm out of ideas for now. [23:20] billytwowilly: could you put up your /etc/fstab please [23:20] hoarycripple: i even tried cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | more [23:20] didnt find the composite word mentioned [23:20] nickrud_, don't worry about it, you sound busy. I'll fix it later. [23:21] now I can't install postgresql in a just installed Ubuntu. I get this: http://pastebin.com/f6793a157 [23:21] can i back up my hard drive to another comuter? [23:21] billybob: not now. someone here set up a new mail account, but didn't set outgoing server to 587. Easy fix [23:21] switching between tabs takes 1-2 seconds - that's totally unacceptable :/ [23:21] and cumbersome [23:21] spork969, there are few other tools such as hippod (not sure if it's spelled correctly) [23:21] Does anyone know how I can get grub to boot an iso from my hd? [23:21] overall ubuntu works slowly on 2.2ghz, 512 mb ram [23:22] what the hell [23:22] kane77: i have hipopod but its not working too great [23:22] AstorZZZ, more ram would be nice [23:22] how can i back up my harddrive to another computer? [23:22] PriceChild: come on [23:23] more ram is necessary, gnome's increasing ram requirements is what finally forced me to upgrade to a machine that could hold more memory [23:23] AstorZZZ, that's my guess... i run on 768 mostly and that's fine, surprised you're saying its slow :/ [23:23] spork969, I guess I haven't tried it yet, but I have it installed... [23:23] guys... how do i install perl on apache2? [23:23] help... [23:23] i blame the integrated video card! [23:23] yo__: using either a usb cable or a crossover cable is one of the easiest ways [23:24] mm.. [23:24] CorruptTerrorist: did you install libapache2-mod-perl2 ? [23:24] i don't have either of those [23:24] adhoc network? [23:24] spork969, but my iPod is kind of messed up after installing linux for ipod.. :/ [23:24] can someone help me register on this server [23:24] nickrud_, through synaptic? [23:24] d [23:24] CorruptTerrorist: sure [23:24] ./msg nickerve register compy? [23:24] so my next question is, I have a laptop with a bluetooth radio inside, and it currently refuses to turn on; any suggestions? [23:24] Hi, in need of some help, very new to the idea of Linux and chosen Ubuntu, just installed it and it installed just fine, but it freezes, I've seen that some people are having problems like this but I can't seem to get mine to work, I can move the mouse but thats it.

[23:25] now I can't install postgresql in a just installed Ubuntu. I get this: http://pastebin.com/f6793a157 [23:25] jaderaven, no-one has any idea unless you ask [23:26] CorruptTerrorist: hm, I use the libapache2-mod-php5 , works fine. I'd expect the perl to work as well, it's a well known extension [23:26] haha well im not even sure where to start i figgured someone might wanna take this up in an instant message if they feel so inclined [23:26] its on a laptop and fn+f2 doesnt turn on bluetooth like it should, its been turning on and off my wifi with windows [23:26] kane77: linux ON your ipod?

Let me check on that second problem you have brb [23:35] ogre, you can even specify exactly how you want the resultant files named, whether it's [track no.]-[title] or some other configuration [23:35] Is cedega worth the download? [23:36] bastid_raZor, ogre I would have mentioned that but he said it was a RMP he installed.. :* [23:36] jahremao: you can find it in mint repository [23:36] but, ogre, i don't think it supports acc/mp4, and you might have to install restricted extras to do it [23:36] Scunizi; yeah i was confused too about the rpm actually installing [23:36] jaderaven: if you really need to run windows programs, you might want to. Myself, I don't need any of them [23:36] i tried launching ubuntu in windows and the window says "your CPU does not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution" [23:36] what do i do? [23:36] Scunizi: i didnt notice he said it was an rpm [23:36] yo__, "launching ubuntu in windows"?

[23:39] maybe its talking about grub.. [23:39] sure, yo__, but the error message explicitly said "use a 32bit distribution", so try that [23:39] jaderaven; #winehq may be of more help [23:39] jaderaven: No, Cedega is an easy install. [23:39] oi.. okay.. [23:39] lol for some reason ubuntu 64bit and windows 32 bit did not play well with each other on my hard driver or seperate hard drives [23:39] jaderaven: But you may want to check if regular wine servers your needs. [23:39] cedega has .deb's for installation too [23:39] I am trying to install the debs in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/global_menu#deb this page. First I did the command shown, and it ran, and installed fine, with no errors, as it says there should not be. Then, when I try to run the debs there, they require libgtk2.0-0 which, according to synaptic is installed. I tried to reinstall it too.. whats wrong [23:39] I have a Wyse thin client.

First I did the command shown, and it ran, and installed fine, with no errors, as it says there should not be. Then, when I try to run the debs there, they require libgtk2.0-0 which, according to synaptic is installed. I tried to reinstall it too.. whats wrong? [23:43] jaderaven, wine's an easier install [23:43] i have no idea what there for lol [23:43] my computer came with them === ziggggy is now known as pepsi [23:44] David_: Random freezing can usually be traced to either RAM or video issues. [23:44] try this: reformat the remaining 7 odd GB and install ubuntu on that (making sure you have at least a gig for swap) [23:44] could someone tell me what im doing wrong? I downloaded wine from their filefront, but all i got was a bunch of folders and txt files... the source im asumeing [23:44] lol, my swap is 7gigs [23:44] I made a preseed script to automate install, but I don't want it to download anything from the network.. how to skip it and use only the packages from the ISO ? [23:44] David_: You may want to run memtest for 24 hours or so to do some serious burning on your RAM. [23:44] it's more than enough for ubuntu, and you can mount your windows partition all the same, [23:44] hey guys, how do i change "xorg" config? [23:44] well unfortunately, im afraid of resizing my windows partition because i have files that i ABSOLUTELY cannot use [23:44] David_: Thermal issues are also common. [23:44] jaderaven, wine is in repo's....... [23:44] it doesn't seem to be random, it always happens, after about 5 minutes [23:45] hence why i said it was easier :) [23:45] I ran the command compiz --replace emerald --replace, but emerald hasn't started, and I no longer have windows borders any help [23:45] can somebody help me with my ubuntu installation hanging? [23:45] David_: So, every 5 minutes it freezes then you reboot? [23:45] David_: or does it just "hiccup"? [23:45] and if im running ubuntu, i want it to be my primary OS, with windows being there on maybe a 5gb partition in case i need it for something [23:45] bod_: see your going to explain that to me ive just reacently said skrew the system hog that is windows... and switched to linux [23:45] yeah, I can still move the mouse about, but I can't click, and I have to reboot [23:45] here's the best possible solution, yo__: get a better hard drive, create four partitions, one for swap, one for windows, one for ubuntu ad one for data, you'll only need 10GB for each OS [23:45] yo_: 5g int enough for windows [23:46] i don't have any money for all this [23:46] im dead broke [23:46] What priority do all jobs have by default in linux for printing? [23:46] any gurus want to have some fun? you could talk the through this page : http://cs.ozerki.net/zap/wacom-bt/ [23:46] a new hard drive costs like 40 bucks [23:46] just two laptops, one on ubuntu and the other on windows [23:46] i mean your going to have to explain that to me.... not the way it sounded [23:46] hi! [23:46] yo__: 5g isnt enough for windows XP [23:46] i need a little help [23:46] David_: After you reboot, it runs for another 5 minutes, then freezes again? [23:46] that sounded like me being an ass [23:46] quick question. When I first installed ubuntu I was never actualy asked to provide a root password. Rather, I was asked for a user password and I could then use that to su to root. Having done so I set a root password straight away, but does the root account have a password set after install at all? [23:46] how much does xp need? [23:46] jaderaven u got aim? this place is too crowded and im not getting any information.. [23:46] Squawk, no [23:46] my xp installation already uses 6 GB and it only has the bare essential programs [23:46] yeah, I'm dual booting with Vista, it always seems to happen, was fine when running with live CD [23:47] every time yhat i wanna play a movie the player exit it self [23:47] David_: Or do you need to wait a bit before it boots? [23:47] i got the codecs [23:47] Squawk: no [23:47] squawk: ubuntu installs with a random root password. add "sudo" to the beginning of any command to run it as root [23:47] yo__: It bloats,id give it 15g... but then again this is coming from the guy with a 7gig swap [23:47] yes ill get on aim my screen name is brownboy1 gimme a sec to get on plz [23:47] try with vlc and mplayer [23:47] what do you mean wait a bit? [23:47] which, of course, means spyware, antivirus, firewall, and one program that i use that won't run on wine [23:47] David_: Do you mind going private for a bit? [23:47] no not at all [23:47] I am trying to install the debs in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/global_menu#deb this page. First I did the command shown, and it ran, and installed fine, with no errors, as it says there should not be. Then, when I try to run the debs there, they require libgtk2.0-0 which, according to synaptic is installed. I tried to reinstall it too.. whats wrong here? [23:47] k mines gt32208 [23:48] bluewraith, I know how to run commands as root, i was more concened with setting a root password, since sudo su - was enough to get me root privileges, which implied no password for root [23:48] hey [23:48] how do i open a java file [23:48] bluewraith, or rather, effectively meant a user password was enough to get root access to the whole system [23:48] .jar [23:48] !root | Squawk [23:48] Squawk: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:48] I have the same problem as photocopy... It says that lib is ubuntu.1 but needs ubuntu.1.3 or something, which is NOT available :-/ [23:48] What priority do all jobs have by default in linux for printing? [23:49] hey someon can help me? [23:49] beautifulsnow: For the record, thats not the same problem, mine says i need a package already installed. [23:49] Mmm actually, squawk: sudo passwd (then enter new password for root) [23:49] squawk: set a better password? :) You can (re)set a root password through add users, but its not recommended. [23:49] Jangari, im an experienced linux user, I know about root/sudo, im just trying to get a grasp of exactly what state we were in after install [23:49] the media players crashes wen i try to play a movie [23:49] anyone with preseeding experience here? [23:49] bluewraith, i did it with su to root and just ran passwd [23:49] beautifulsnow: Not a good idea. [23:49] why not chris_d? [23:49] Squawk, why do you want a root password anyway? [23:50] bod_, you want to run a system with no root password? [23:50] beautifulsnow: You want to keep root access restricted. [23:50] So that no one can ever guess it? [23:50] Sounds fair [23:50] squawk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:50] beautifulsnow: Making people type "sudo" in front of commands makes them think more about the command. [23:50] Squawk, root on all machines on a clean install has 'no' password [23:50] bluewraith, I know about sudo (gentoo nut here, testing out ubuntu for my family) [23:50] how do i open a java file [23:50] beautifulsnow: Also, once you set a root password, it's easier to break. [23:51] ... [23:51] bod_: Say what? [23:51] Hi, I attempted to install torrentflux via synaptic but the whole thing broke. Debconfig took 10 minutes between user actions to do anything [23:51] ok there is a eeepc channel? [23:51] chris_d, what? [23:51] messing about has now resulted in a broken sql database - how do i purge it from my system [23:51] bod_, coming from a gentoo background, the only user created at the start is root, and you create a root password. Other users are then added [23:51] squawk: ah. so are are you trying to set accounts that cannot sudo/root? [23:51] jaderaven> [23:51] bod_: (03:50:34 PM) bod_: Squawk, root on all machines on a clean install has 'no' password [23:51] ? [23:51] bluewraith, no, im interested in what state exaclty an ubuntu system is in after install. Basicaly im trying to learn how ubuntu does things [23:52] i have a buggy app which i need to automatically restart [23:52] David_: ?? [23:52] can anyone suggest a good method? [23:52] Squawk, root is a user yes, sudo is used to acces the privileges of root, bein root is extremely dangerous, and it means you have to apply a password to 'root' therefore making it hackable,. if root has no password, noone can lo in as root and destroy your system [23:52] java .jar files [23:52] run [23:52] yeah did you not get my message? [23:52] anyway [23:53] yo__ what did u say your screen anme was? [23:53] gt32008 [23:53] David_: No. [23:53] bod_, if you have a normal user with sudo privs if someone gets access to a normal user account (easier than the root account), and that user has sudo access to the root account, then you already craeted an easy way in [23:53] chris_d, i dont think root has a password, you have to use sudo to apply a password to root,. but root privelged can be accessed through sudo anyway,. logging in as root is dangerous and unneeded [23:53] right I'll send it in private again, ok? [23:53] bod_: It's not that it has *no* password, its that it's password is set to '!', which is not the same thing. [23:53] bod_: :) [23:53] Squawk, only if they no the password [23:53] Hi, I attempted to install torrentflux via synaptic but the whole thing broke. Debconfig took 10 minutes between user actions to do anything - how do i purge the package from my system [23:53] sudo passwd [23:54] chris_d, fair play ;~) [23:54] David_: I have an open private session with you. [23:54] preseeding, anyone? [23:54] sure bod_, but surely the same could be said of a password protectedc root user account [23:54] why does an ubuntu install hang after step 5? [23:54] !root [23:54] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:54] werneck: debconf? [23:54] I sent something, guessing you did't get it [23:54] nickrud_: yep [23:54] man i need to run jgrasp but it isnt working for me [23:54] Jangari: The moment you assign a password to root, the password can be broken. [23:54] zorbo: sudo apt-get remove --purge torrentflux [23:54] chris_d, so root has a non empty password after install? k [23:54] David_: Nope. [23:55] k [23:55] nickrud_: I don't want it to try to install anything from the mirror, cdrom only... any idea how to do that? [23:55] weird, I'll close it and open it again [23:55] Squawk: your reasoning is flawed in saying user access to sudo is less secure than a root password. [23:55] chris_d, yes, but having a user with root privileges, and a password for it, can also be broken, no? === jhonen is now known as KaiserM [23:55] Squawk: In the shadow file, having a '!' in the password field means that the user cannot log in through the tty or through X. [23:55] Jangari, true, but say your little sister got hold of your machine -- if your using a normal user -- she accidently types rm -rf ./* oh, nothing happens -- if you where root,.,.then you would no longer have a operating system [23:55] werneck, yes. In the sources, select ONLY the cdrom [23:55] Jangari: Yes. [23:55] anyone know how? [23:55] http://cs.ozerki.net/zap/wacom-bt/ anyone want to walk me through that page? mI have no idea how to do half that stuff [23:55] man ubuntu is some annoying crap. [23:56] actually, most [23:56] hischild: and what's the option for that in the preseed file? [23:56] chris_d, I didnt know thats what was in shadow, i updated my root password as soon as I could (liek I said, gentoo user here), and only after doing so wondered what was actualy set after install [23:56] Jangari: On our production systems, we have two classes of machine--one that requires the user password to sudo and one that requires the root password to sudo. [23:56] Anyone know how to make KeyRing remember my passwords? I keep telling it to remember them but it always asks me [23:56] werneck: heh. A lovely subject, one that I've only skimmed. http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apb.html has a lot of info. Maybe you'll find it there.... [23:56] chris_d: not sure whats happening [23:56] mneptok, howso? If a user has a password that gives full access to root through sudo then root already has a password, that users. And since that user does everything on the system, if someone gets that password, your box is down [23:56] Jangari: That way, if a user account with sudo privileges gets compromised, the cracker won't be able to sudo. [23:57] KaiserM: The people here for some reason think helping in the channel can help other users with the same problem, but it doesnt really do any good, only makes the channel go by too fast being too full. [23:57] i cant see my 3 ntfs discs in ubuntu [23:57] werneck, system -> administration -> software sources ---> select only the dvd/cdrom and not the other sources [23:57] i just connected them and they dont show up [23:57] chris_d, different password for the user and the user's sudo access? [23:57] hischild: preseed file! [23:57] Squawk: but if root has a password, you have an account that *almost everyone in the Unix world knows the UID for* [23:57] Squawk, no, the user has a password that can temporarily *borrow* the privileges of root,.,. not access root account [23:57] Photocopy: whats that mean? [23:57] nickrud_: ok, thanks [23:57] Jangari: Yes. [23:57] ah, okay, that's a bit clearer then [23:57] bod_, try running sudo su - and see if you get full root privs (you do) [23:58] Squawk: See my comment to Jangari. It's possible to configure sudo to use a password that is different from the user password. [23:58] Squawk, im aware,. but that doesnt mean i have become the root user [23:58] beautifulsnow: i've attempted to reinstall the package via terminal but the install script is still broken - I get a MySQL error about the database it needs not existing upon setup [23:58] Squawk: It's also possible to prevent that behaviour. [23:58] chris_d, is that the sudo passwd command? [23:58] chris_d, I know, as I said i was more interested in the state after install, beyond that I can configure it how I like (or you how you like), which seems to be where the discussion is going [23:58] bod_, yes it does [23:58] hold on im going to open my computer up and see this bluetooth chip [23:59] bod_, you run "sudo su -" and you ARE root [23:59] Squawk: The state after install is root is set with a '!' in the password field in shadow. [23:59] screw it, the one from the site is 2 versions newer [23:59] por favor preciso de ajuda [23:59] !es | IronSid3 [23:59] !es > IronSid3 [23:59] IronSid3: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [23:59] chris_d, yeah I know you told me (your the only one who answered the question actualy). Thanks for that [23:59] Squawk, it does not chane me to being the root user, it gives me rot privileges and changes the name in the terminal, if im root in terminal and then try and access synaptic from the gui, it will still ask for a password (afaik) therefore not being the root user [23:59] bod_, try it [23:59] hey guys, my keyboard settings got changed, how do i edit "xorg"
