[00:00] hello [00:00] is the firefox update i got from the repos today the actual release? [00:00] dmsuperman: I've not neither removed pulse just disabled and purged out libflashsupport [00:00] anyone have an idea why fdisk and cfdisk don't want to create anything larger than a 2.5TB disk on a disk that shows up at 3.5 TB? [00:00] yeah well I saw that. I have 4 different kernel versions though. [00:00] you know when you have GRUB installed? I have 4 versions [00:00] rename: ok and? [00:00] @idhtns short answer, if you installed firefox 3 from the repos then yes thats the final release [00:00] rename: synaptic is the easiest way. Search for linux-image, remove the ones you don't want. Leave the next most recent one alone, though, so you have a back up. [00:00] yeah. [00:00] arooni microsoft natural.. [00:00] visik7, disabling didn't change anything, neither did removing. I've since given up, and don't really care to bother with it. There's no point in upgrading to gutsy...nothing is different besides pulse and crappy flash support [00:01] so like the .18 and .19 the .17 and .16 [00:01] rename: you should be able to tell which are newer by the version numbers. [00:01] yes [00:01] I want to get rid of. [00:01] yes [00:01] ok great thanks. [00:01] rename: but leave the next to the most recent so you have a spare. [00:01] sorry. I didnt think that my name was rename. [00:01] np [00:02] When I go to System > Adminastration > Login Window the window briefly opens up then immediately exits. I need to change a setting in here in order to get my power button to reappear but cannot because of this problem. I have already tried a hard restart, but it did not achieve anything. [00:02] Hey, sorry i got disconnected... Like i said i dont have any Task Bars at the top and bottom... how do i get it back? [00:02] !resetpanels [00:02] I need to fix my sound. Help me? [00:02] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:02] billenium: run gnome-panel [00:02] Jack_Sparrow, still doesnt work; i tried that layout i got an error: http://pastie.org/216904 [00:02] dmsuperman: you are wrong there are many many improvement in 8.04 (but maybe nothing that you need and it's ok) [00:02] Hey... That didnt work [00:02] gnome panel is already running [00:03] billenium: do what Jack_Sparrow suggested [00:03] glitsj16 & evil... thanks for your input... ive given up on this one... clean install [00:03] to reset the panel to completely default, type this in a terminal: « sudo mv /* /dev/null » [00:03] I think i left when he suggested it [00:03] what did Jac_Sparrow suggest? [00:03] visik7, well obviously there are changes...i just meant out of what I used on a daily or even weekly basis. The only thing I noticed was a moved around menu, the unlock after you open admin panels (which is retarded anyway), pulseaudio, crappy flash support, wubi, and the next version of compiz [00:03] hey ho. how likely is it that a new kernel will be in the repos? i just upgraded and a new one was installed, which means i have to recompile some manually compiled modules. does that happen often? on dapper i could live quite some time with the same kernel [00:03] Az: goodluck [00:03] !offtopic [00:03] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:03] The sound in my Ubuntu 8.04 install stopped working. Can someone help me? [00:04] running Ubuntu Hardy, don't have direct rendering, however graphics card supports it (82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller)?? [00:04] any idea on why these packages uninstalled though...its got me bemused [00:04] Jack_Sparrow what did you suggest? [00:04] hey guys [00:04] weldan: what is that you are suggesting [00:04] OK got them going. Thanks alot thingfish [00:04] Whenever I run sudo gdmsetup from the terminal the window automatically quits as soon as it opens [00:04] Im having probs with hardy [00:04] I guess I'll try google more. [00:04] dmsuperman: ff3 oo2.4 with GL effects, and flash is bad as ever [00:04] The sound in my Ubuntu 8.04 install stopped working. Can someone help me? [00:04] dmsuperman: not worse or better [00:04] arooni no idea why you are getting an error.. it has worked without issue since I plugged it in.. more than I can say for using it on windows [00:04] anyonme gonna help me [00:05] literally only made minor alterations to xorg, then relogin - no panels and half of applets gone [00:05] i wouldn't do what weldan said billenium [00:05] Mo853425ru37, ask your question [00:05] Ok [00:05] I have probs in hardy [00:05] !resetpanels | billenium [00:05] billenium: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:05] Malaz: aven after setting everything to alsa in that panel ? [00:05] Mo853425ru37, someone will answer, if he/she knows an answer [00:05] like when i multi task stuff [00:05] Firefox 3 has reached the repositories and finished mirroring (I think... I just updated), can a moderator modify the topic? [00:05] any word on enabling direct rendering on 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller under Hardy? [00:05] visik7, I've never had any issues with flash in 7.10, before or after trying hardy. As far as FF3, I've already had that installed for a while now (and am currently about to install final) and I don't much care for OO.o [00:05] billenium change the default or move windows to the top option.. lock down updates so they dont happen when you are not there. not that kernels come out all that often anyhow [00:06] The sound in my Ubuntu 8.04 install stopped working. Also, sound output from music players like banshee or rhythmbox never worked, although the login sound and movie sound would work. Can someone help me? [00:06] Mo853425ru37: ask your full question in 1 line [00:06] like virtualbox and firefox and k3b or any other time when im running flash Hardy would crash [00:06] visik: Yeah, it still doesn't work. [00:06] and i cant do anything [00:06] hi [00:06] dmsuperman: deskbar applet is better and also trackerd [00:06] dmsuperman: :) [00:06] Can someone tell me that command again to kill it and turn it on again? [00:06] Does Ubuntu process the .Xdefaults file for a user when they log in? [00:06] I forgot to copy it [00:06] Mo853425ru37 have you tried Opera? [00:06] Malaz: what app are you testing ? [00:06] No [00:06] !resetpanels | billenium [00:06] billenium: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:06] visik7, I like google desktop for that :P [00:06] Im more of a firefox guy [00:06] visik: The strangest thing is that I changed NOTHING. Sometimes the sound works again after I CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE, but not today. [00:07] dmsuperman: not integrated [00:07] I was too, i had problems with flash and found it worked much better in firefox. [00:07] *much better in opera i meant [00:07] visik: The login sound, the sound pref test sounds, and about to test a movie. [00:07] With me i run for example virtualbox k3b and firefox my comp crashes [00:07] !resetpanels [00:07] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:07] After having problems with my GFX card and installing Envy and messing back and forth, now my Ubuntu won't run any resolution above 800*600. It's driving me crazy. === Pooky is now known as pooky [00:07] when i run alot of stuff === pooky is now known as Pooky [00:07] visik7, I'm running ubuntu on a machine built for gaming in windows...i have to do something with all my extra power :P [00:07] and before it never did [00:07] Firefox2 or firefox 3? [00:07] firefox 2 and 3 [00:07] Mo853425ru37: probably out of ram [00:07] firefox 3 doesnt start anymore so i use 2 [00:07] dmsuperman: yes you do :) [00:07] hello I just got a laptop from a friend of mine who thought it was broken didn't want to worry about it. I installed Ubuntu 7.04 and would like to upgrade to 8.04 is there a good howto somewhere and/or precautions? [00:07] visik: OK, movies work. But login sound, sound pref test sounds, and games still do not work. [00:07] i have 2.25gb of ram [00:08] Being out of ram shouldnt cause a crash, it should just cause it to run slow anyways [00:08] haha [00:08] It crashes [00:08] I cant do anything [00:08] being out of ram can for sure cause a crash [00:08] cant move the mouse [00:08] Mo853425ru37: mixing ff2 and ff3 is not a good practice 'cuse they share .mozilla in your home [00:08] or anything [00:08] Mo853425ru37: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:08] huh [00:08] !enter > Mo853425ru37 [00:08] well, it will start killing random processes to free up ram [00:08] Am I running out of ram? http://paste.ubuntu.com/20999/ [00:08] My system is kind of slow. [00:08] thomashartman1: check your ram usage by running "free -m" [00:09] its werid [00:09] thomashartman1: so seems [00:09] thomashartman1: less ram is one reason for a slow system but there are others [00:09] thomashartman1 turn off effects [00:09] visik: Any ideas? This sort of thing also happened on my last Ubuntu 8.04 install, before I tried fedora and mandriva. So it's not the cause of me messing something up. Must be the hardware/software, not the user. [00:09] total 486, used 479. this is bad right? [00:09] what the proper term for when you want to use serveral ethernet ports to increase LAN bandwidth, i.e. I have 2+ gigabit ethernet cards so I want to have it a LAN-effective 2gbps. [00:09] you have some swap free still, but, yeah, your running out of ram [00:10] thomashartman1: no [00:10] thomashartman1: it depends paste the full output [00:10] yiga1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades .. what the precautions concerns, well, having a backup of your data is always a good thing, if you haven't changed exotic configurations manually it should be a smooth upgrade [00:10] as long as you still have free swap, should just slow things down [00:10] Like i have 2.25gb and i would run this stuff b4 when i had split my hd with windows and it would never crash only windows would but then when i delte windows and rezied it to max in partition editor this prob started to happen [00:10] I did. [00:10] thomashartman1: (on pastebin) [00:10] I did :) [00:10] visik: I have a dedicated sound card, do I need to get a driver or kernel modules for it? [00:10] use top to see whats taking up all the ram [00:10] thomashartman1: what does it say for +- buffers/cache [00:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/21002/ [00:10] drunkn718, network teaming [00:10] envy problems don't know what to do [00:10] brb guys [00:10] can somebody help me please [00:10] i have to go somewhere [00:10] !envy | chamuscas [00:10] chamuscas: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [00:10] rampageoberon: 373 113 [00:10] thanks, now I can go find some tutorials [00:11] thomashartman1: as by default ubuntu uses all your ram for cache to make full use of resources [00:11] Odd-rationale, what or where do i type that [00:11] thomashartman1: so you have 113mb ram free and 373 used [00:11] thomashartman1: you really have a lot of used swap [00:11] visik7: is that a bad thing? [00:11] rapp, thats true, but it wont eat into swap [00:11] okay that command did not work... [00:11] thomashartman1: depends on what you are running [00:11] and i think thats linux in general that does that, not just ubuntu [00:11] chamuscas: look for the envyng-gtk package in synaptics [00:11] I am getting slow windows minimize/maximize, that kind of thing. [00:11] thomashartman1: not a bad thing, just swap is slower than ram [00:11] I think i can see the edges of the Panels... and when i kill the process the edges go away [00:11] thomashartman1: open a shell [00:12] open. [00:12] thomashartman1: run : top [00:12] Odd-rationale, tank you a lot mister [00:12] top output is pastied. [00:12] thomashartman1: turn off desktop effects to make it faster [00:12] thomashartman1: and press F and then q [00:12] visik: Can you help me, or should I try google again (or just use fedora 9 instead)? [00:12] Odd-rationale, or mam [00:12] Is there a log of ubuntu's startup? (after you start from the boot menu, to when you can login) [00:12] Whenever i run 'sudo gdmsetup' from the terminal to change the login window settings i get a 'Segmentation error' and the window closes [00:12] Malaz: you have not replied to my question [00:12] top, see whats using all the ram, if you can restart that process...see if your mem usage goes down, maybe there is a leak or something. ..or your just doing a lot [00:12] thomashartman1: but i wouldn't worry too much about that [00:12] what is the simplest way of getting rid of all unused kernels? [00:12] thomashartman1: who is the first ? [00:12] chamuscas: to be honest, i don't know a whole lot about envy. it used to be unsupported here... [00:12] thomashartman1 turn off effects especially if you have an onboard sound card [00:13] visik: The app-testing question? Yes, I did. Maybe you missed it. [00:13] wow I cant believe linux actually works with my keyboard media player keys [00:13] don't understand effects. [00:13] rdz, remove them manually :P [00:13] aka forward, back, pause [00:13] amazing [00:13] rdz: use synaptic to remove older versions of linux-image [00:13] what are they? how do I turn off? is this compiz? [00:13] Felonious: you should stop being surprised.... ;) [00:13] rampageoberon, i'll try .. thanks [00:13] How do I get rid of them in the GRUB menu? [00:13] rdz: keep atleast one older version incase you need to roll back [00:13] Odd-rationale, i didn't understand the unsupporterd part, what does that mean [00:13] thomashartman1 system... preferences... appearance... last tab on the right.. [00:13] hi.. earlier I stupidly installed nvidia-glx (when i'm using nvidia-glx-new) and made some links between openGL SO files. i removed the links but now my drivers won't work anymore [00:13] (04:07:22 PM) Malaz: visik: The login sound, the sound pref test sounds, and about to test a movie. [00:13] im suprised because I couldnt get my ATI drivers to install no matter what I did [00:13] rampageoberon, ok.. thanks for the hint [00:13] (04:07:58 PM) Malaz: visik: OK, movies work. But login sound, sound pref test sounds, and games still do not work. [00:13] any ideas what I should do to fix them? [00:13] thomashartman1 yes.. effects are compiz [00:14] so... this is unexpected [00:14] yeah I don't need that. [00:14] :) [00:14] !sound | Malaz [00:14] Malaz: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:14] chamuscas: basically, use evny at your own risk! [00:14] chamuscas: you can use envyng [00:14] Zelda1: if you uninstall them they will be removed from the grub menu. if you want them installed for some reason but not in the grub menu, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove their entries [00:14] Odd-rationale, looooool so what are the options :p [00:14] Malaz: depending on the game they may relay on old or unsupported audio implementations such as oss [00:14] pen, where can i get that one, or what should i do ? [00:14] well it didnt remove them from teh grub menu [00:14] why is it that xorg.conf gets rewritten every time I boot after I install the nvidia driver (from their) wesite? it works perfectly until i reboot [00:15] glitsj16: it's a "brand new" computer - a virus ate up my friends hd and I just installed Ubuntu on top of it. I found this, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes so easy. [00:15] thomashartman1: so the first in the list was ? [00:15] I can find nothing helpful on the forums [00:15] chamuscas: it is usually safer to use the drivers from the restricted drivers manager. [00:15] vikk7: you mean when I did F then q? [00:15] ok got it thanks [00:15] chamuscas: what is your problem? [00:15] pwolfe, hey what are you looking for? === tom__ is now known as legend2440 [00:15] thomashartman1: yes [00:15] visik: As I said, nothing works _except_ video. Including Ubuntu sound effects like login, as well as music players. [00:15] chamuscas: I saw he told you to use envy [00:15] that looked like some kind of help readout... [00:15] hello... me again... so I didnt have time before but now I want to install ubuntu on an external hard drive but i dont know how to partition [00:15] try saving the xorg.conf file somehwere else in the if, then move it over as root [00:15] yiga1: enjoy the new system :) [00:15] I'm looking for a way to use the nvidia drivers from their site [00:15] anyone recommend a good backup application for ubuntu? tried sbackup which is quite good [00:15] Odd-rationale, tank you for your time :) [00:15] visik: But thanks for the help. You're obviously a bit flooded at this time, maybe I'll try again later. [00:15] thomashartman1: oh and Enter at the end [00:15] how much does ubuntu need and how do i tell it what to split up? [00:15] !nick | pwolfe [00:15] pwolfe: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [00:16] woops [00:16] chamuscas: what does sbackup not do that you want done? [00:16] !nick | pwolfe [00:16] im editing it in vim in another console as sudo [00:16] just want to test the water [00:16] pwolfe, 1 moment.. and try using tab completion so we can see who you are talking to.. makes following the conversation much easier [00:16] pen, that's the problem before i erase my disk i had install envy from the site of the italian guy, now i can't find where is the download link [00:16] glitsj16: thank you [00:16] Malaz: just a quick test run ... cat > /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp if you hear something it's not a driver issue [00:16] so from what i've been reading on tutorials online, networking bonding does round-robin load balancing across the NICs, doesn't this mean it is **not** providing increased bandwidth? [00:17] thomashartman1: ... [00:17] chamuscas: so you want to use envy [00:17] orphean, sry didn't understood [00:17] pwolfe, also could you provide me with your gfx card make and model [00:17] chamuscas: ok, then it's really easy [00:17] hwo much do i partition for ubuntu and i dont want to lose anything else on the hard drive.. [00:17] chamuscas: ubuntu has the envy in the repository [00:17] 10gb i use [00:17] its a bfg 8800gt oc [00:17] chamuscas: go to synaptics and search for envy [00:17] pen, well basically yes i don't know another way of solving the problem [00:17] !envy | pwolfe [00:17] pwolfe: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [00:17] so when i start the live cd up and it opens the partition thing what do i type or press? [00:17] pen, and which files should i check? [00:18] so will envy provide me with the most up to date version? [00:18] yes [00:18] drunkn718: well yes and no. By loadbalancing helps by ensuring that a particular nic isn't being overloaded and dropping packets. but it doesn't use them both at once as some kind of supernic [00:18] pwolfe: mostly [00:18] envyngclick [00:18] ok thanks i guess I'll just give up and use that [00:18] chamuscas: envyng [00:18] pwolfe: not the beta ones [00:18] pwolfe, most up to date stable version afaik [00:18] visik: I got nothing on that. But top of the troubleshooting page has the command ""find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd"" to run. It has a solution if it returns nothing, which it does. So I'm rebotting now to see if it worked. [00:18] visik7: I'm hearing you, just don't understand. when i top, F, then q, I got a list of fields. should I have chosen one of them? [00:18] there's no envyng there pen [00:18] visik: Thanks, I'll tell you if it works. [00:18] ok, thanks guys [00:18] thomashartman1: than press Enter [00:18] After installing EnvyNG and messing around a bit, my Ubuntu now will run no higher resolution than 800*600. What can I do? [00:18] someone mentioned teaming to me to double my lan bandwidth with 2 gigabit ports, but all these tutorials dont mention anything like that..

[00:23] it came installed with 8.04 [00:23] i wana get rid of it [00:23] devslashnull: have it yes, what seems to be the trouble ? [00:23] anyway Malaz reboot for a kernel module ? wtf ? [00:23] pen: That did it, thanks. [00:23] Can anyone help me install Ubuntu (Feisty Fawn) on my Western Digital 320GB MyBook Essential Edition external usb hard drive on my Mac mini (latest $599 model)..? it wont let me boot from it. its totally not recognized as a bootable device. yeah ive formatted it and completely erased it so many times!! help! [00:23] Whenever I try to run gdmsetup i get the following error, "You might be using a different display manager, such as KDM (KDE Display Manager), CDE login (dtlogin), or xdm. If you wish to use this feature, then your system will need to be configured to use GDM instead." [00:23] pen, i may not have enable compiz in appearance, how do i do that ? [00:24] is it possible to launch a program as minimized at startup? [00:24] visik7 Please dont use the rude shorthand [00:24] pen, wait i did that but gives a problem [00:24] MrElendig: yeah, I love haskell ;) [00:24] visik: ... The troubleshooting page told me to reboot, so I did. [00:24] chamuscas: what? [00:24] Jack_Sparrow: got it [00:24] Malaz: ok nevermind [00:24] pinnerup: np [00:24] <__ryan__> how else would you load a new kernel without rebooting lol [00:24] Malaz: about the music ? [00:24] come on people .-_- [00:24] __ryan__: a kernel module is not a kernel [00:24] is there a mac channel? [00:25] Fogel1497: do you have any of those mentioned in the error message installed ? if so, it's conflicting with gdm and it asks to remove those [00:25] <__ryan__> ah a module, i read kernel [00:25] __ryan__: you have to reboot [00:25] I usualy end up using py tho, most of my scripts are hevy on IO, and I find it easier to do in py [00:25] pen, i may have solve my problem let me see [00:25] is there an intel mac irc channel? [00:25] glits i installed konqueror at one point not fully understandign what it was but i uninstalled it [00:25] chamuscas: ok [00:25] Arv3n: not in this server Afaik [00:25] visik: MP3, but I installed the needed codecs. [00:25] anyone know where i can find some troubleshooting help with partimage? [00:25] how can I get a script to start on boot? [00:25] Arv3n: go to insanelymac [00:25] Malaz: rythmbox ? [00:25] Arv3n: they have their irc [00:26] visik: I tried both pythmbox and banshee. Both think they are playing it, but no sound comes out of speakers. [00:26] <__ryan__> rhythmbox will tell you if you need codecs or not so that's probably a good idea to try :P [00:26] Fogel1497: are you using regular ubuntu ? or kubuntu perhaps ? [00:26] visik: rythmbox* [00:26] Regular ubuntu [00:27] Malaz: try this from the command line [00:27] Hello all [00:27] hello [00:27] is there a way to force a check for hardware changes? (USB drives etc...) [00:27] gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///path/to/an/mp3 [00:27] Fogel1497: checked in synaptics if one of those others is installed ? gdm seems to think so, might be worth a look [00:27] neeto: most of the hardware is autoconfigured a part from the video card [00:28] Malaz: result ? [00:28] neeto try sudo /etc/init.d/hal start to try and get a usb drive recognized.. [00:28] visik7: I am trying to mount a new eSATA device, but it's not showing up at all [00:28] neeto: mmm [00:28] neeto: check the chipset against google if it's supported by the 2.6.24 kerne [00:28] neeto try sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart to try and get a usb drive recognized.. [00:28] neeto: or maybe you already do that [00:29] ok .. Jack_Sparrow is done thz [00:29] neeto: does dmesg output anything when you connect it? [00:29] i00nsu great [00:29] neeto: eSATA recognises as fixed disk so it doesn't scan all the time. Do as Jack_Sparrow suggests to force rescan [00:29] visik: I'll paste the output to pastebin. No sound output. It took forever because of all the stupid spaces and brackets I had to escape.... [00:29] can anyone name a solution for messed up colours in videos in 8.04? [00:29] visik7: I don't see why there would be a chipset support problem [00:29] both vlc and totem. [00:30] neeto: it's always around the corner :) [00:30] now .. i have this litle problem.. no youtube sounds, no flv sound, no mplayer sound no alsa test sound. what should I do ? [00:30] Malaz: you should learn the power of tab [00:30] visik: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21008/ [00:30] visik: Does that auto-escape symbols? [00:30] if I use rytmic box i have sound.. but none with other players [00:30] jameslr: dmesg doesn't seem to say anything too obvious about it. I can't find anywhere that it mentions the drive... [00:30] Malaz: mostly [00:31] i00nsu: You'll probably need to edit those other programs' preferences [00:31] Malaz: in this case yes [00:31] visik: Tab is like gnome-do. I always mean to use it, but I always just do it the old slow way out of habit. [00:31] neeto: what sata controller are you using? [00:31] jameslr: the one on my mobo [00:31] Malaz: ok gstreamer says that it's playing [00:31] neeto: it has a chipset. Do you know what the name of it is? [00:31] visik: Yes. But again, no sound. [00:31] Malaz: now you should check your mixer volumes [00:32] visik: Done. [00:32] hola [00:32] Malaz: I know you hate me in this moment :) [00:32] eitrach: what video output settings do you have active at the moment ? [00:32] neeto: or perhaps do you know the brand and model of your motherboard? [00:32] jameslr: the chipset for this mobo is an intel 975p I believe, but it shouldn't be a problem since my boot drive is already connected to the same sata controller... [00:32] alguien habla en español [00:32] glitsj16: how do I find that out? [00:32] visik: Yep. I've done that before, about 2 years ago. Very embarrassing. But they're all good right now. [00:32] ? I mean: >> no sound in alsa test [00:33] Hi, I just installed the newest updates and they really really screwed up my ubuntu installation [00:33] Malaz: anyway what's your audio card ? [00:33] Anyone solve the kernel-update-then-vboxdrv-cant-run issue? I'd look up the bug, but launchpad's down TO BE UPGRADED! [00:33] eitrach: in vlc you can find those under preferences, totem is gstreamer based, via "gstreamer-properties" [00:33] * n00dle growls very loudly. [00:33] Malaz: maybe some integrated old sis ? [00:33] Aurri: Lo hablo, pero debe ir al #ubuntu-es para ayuda en espanol. [00:33] Everything I run as root closes after 0.2 seconds of being open [00:33] ok [00:33] gracias [00:33] :) [00:33] Zeroyez: it's for security reason [00:34] visik: Came with the motherboard. I have 2 of them. Maybe I should just use my good sound card in my old hulk. 1 sec, I'll check. [00:34] So how can I turn off this, because I really want to gksudo nautilus right now :[ [00:34] glitsj16: it was strange, because after restarting X, and playing a video for around 15 seconds, it only became bad after that. [00:34] Zeroyez: just kiddiing :D [00:35] visik: I put it near the bottom, so I can't read it without turning th comp off and taking it out. Could I just replace it with a diff sound card w/o telling linux? === Tekerson_ is now known as Tekerson [00:35] Malaz: an lspci is ok [00:35] visik: Because if I'm going to take it out, I may as well just replace it. [00:35] Anyone using VirtualBox here solve the update problem? [00:35] visik: Hah, forgot about that. I did that 5 min ago... [00:35] :) [00:35] eitrach: i see, try changing the output modules to see if it is a systematic effect, hard to track without much info i suppose [00:36] I guess I'll try the forums then... [00:36] i want to install ubuntu but i need help with manual partitioning!! [00:36] Zeroyez: try to run it from the console with sudo command and print on a pastebin the output [00:36] please help [00:36] shazzam: ok what is your trouble with it? [00:36] visik: Hmm, apparently I have 2. One must be integrated, or something... [00:37] <__ryan__> if you need help with manual partitioning you should prob be using wubi or something [00:37] __ryan__ THat isnt a better choice [00:37] noodle - have you tried enabling pae/nx [00:37] visik: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21009/ [00:37] <__ryan__> better than messing your system up [00:37] Malaz: what's selected in sys->pref->sound ? [00:37] visik, run what from the console? [00:37] there's nothing better than messing your system up...just to learn how to fix it :) [00:37] Zeroyez: sudo [00:37] __ryan__ Wubi can be just a dangerous [00:38] <__ryan__> Jack_Sparrow, i guess so [00:38] well, sudo commands work [00:38] visik: and http://paste.ubuntu.com/21010/ [00:38] shazzam You really should have a backup if anything you cant afford to lose when working at tthe partition level under any os [00:38] It's just anything that has an gui [00:38] its a 500 GB hd with a couple of tv shows... [00:39] visik: All autodetect, except default mixer, which is c-media (which was selected when I installed 8.04) [00:39] shazzam THat does not change my suggestion [00:39] Zeroyez: I want to know the output of the program that die after 0.2 seconds [00:39] how much room do i setr aside for ubuntu and how do i do it? [00:39] Zeroyez: for graphical apps, use gksudo, have you tried that ? [00:39] ex. Nautilus, Login Screen Set Up [00:39] yes [00:39] Hi. I'd like to create a text file of all possible commands (pressing tab tab) [00:39] How? [00:39] im confused when the partition screen pops up [00:39] I've been gksudo [00:39] i choose manaul [00:39] shazzam: the trouble with dual booting linux and windows is you can mess up your windows partition in the process if you're not careful [00:39] shazzam defrag the windows drive and let ubuntu installer resize the partition automatically [00:39] Zeroyez: anything usefull in the logs ? [00:39] anyone plz.. i need to know why or what is wrong.. in sys>pref>sound for ALSA i got no sound. if I use ADC i get sound.. Anyway mplayer dont have sound.. youtube dont have sound.. stream radios have no sound.. i need help PLZ [00:39] Malaz: my settings are all on alsa and the card that I want in the Mixer tracks [00:40] im using a external hd with just movies on it [00:40] zeroyez@zeroyez-desktop:~$ gksudo nautilus [00:40] Initializing nautilus-share extension [00:40] and then back to zeroyez@... [00:40] visik: Just to remind you, now everything but music works. This is a seperate problem than the original. But I'll try setting to alsa [00:40] <__ryan__> i use the gparted livecd, makes things easy [00:40] yazan: Please do not private message me. [00:40] the nautilus window will popup just for 0.2 seconds then close with nothing to say [00:40] well im syupid cause i scared im deleting my whole thing... how do itell it what to choose and where [00:41] Malaz: yes but gstreamer relays on that settings so ... [00:41] how can I > to a .txt? [00:41] visik: Test now works. I'll see if music does [00:41] Az, "pae/nx" ? No, I was referring to the issue of when you run the updater and get a kernel update, then there is no vboxdrv.ko update. [00:41] well im stupid cause im scared im deleting my whole thing... how do itell it what to choose and where [00:41] running Hardy, direct rendering = Yes for root, but no for user?? in xorg.conf module "dri" is loaded and Mode set to 0666 [00:41] shazzam please dont repeat [00:41] i spelt it bad and i didnt want to get yelled at [00:41] <__ryan__> DRI is always set to 0666 [00:41] like before [00:42] for some reason my nvidia drivers aren't working. i reinstalled and nothing happened.. I have a Geforce 9500GS [00:42] shazzam restart the installer and let it resize the drive automatically [00:42] the last thing I did, other than update with the update utility, was sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/* [00:42] visik: Music works now. Thank you! I don't know why setting it to ALSA didn't work when I tried it last boot... [00:42] ho [00:42] the old drivers work fine, but I can only get 800x600 res =/ [00:42] but i still want to use the drive for windows? it has movies and sruff on it?? [00:42] stuff [00:42] anyone have any ideas? [00:42] shazzam You dont seem to be listening so I cant help you [00:42] Malaz: probably some misconf side effects [00:42] Malaz: good for you [00:42] :) [00:42] I have just read in some forums that explicitly setting DRI to 0666 fixes probs where regular users don't have direct rendering.. [00:42] I want to listen and I want to understand [00:43] visik: Well, thanks a lot. I wonder when Pulse will actually work... hopefully by 8.10... [00:43] shazzam restart the installer and let it resize the drive automatically [00:43] Zeroyez: unless there where some nautilus settings in your trash that shouldn't interfere [00:43] Malaz: it does works (at least for me) but not for flash [00:43] what will that do? [00:43] Zeroyez: open /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files and make sure hostname matches 2nd line in hosts file [00:43] why am i not allowed to run most anything - this is what i always get = Failed to run /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk as user root. [00:43] The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator. how can i fix this eror. this is also preventing me from upgrading to hary heron [00:43] Malaz: and since everybody use flash it dies in painfull death :) [00:43] can't get to firefox website... :( [00:43] visik: Hah, it worked ONLY for flash for a while on my comp. And videos, but that was it. [00:44] tytyt [00:44] Thanks again, visik. [00:44] Malaz: yes some schizophrenic behavior [00:44] oi [00:44] Malaz: you're welcome [00:44] Optimus55: knowing that the final 3.0 is freshly baked and the record attempt, i guess even mozilla can get overloaded .. [00:45] ricardo_ Please dont do that [00:45] hi to brasil 1 [00:45] any suggestions on enabling direct rendering for regular users; root glxinfo | grep direct = Yes [00:45] N1N31NCHN41L5: you have create another user that is not the one created when you install your sys ? [00:45] az, I did a search on it, found a hit on a forum, tried to go to the referenced bug entry on launchpad, but it's down for upgrades. [00:45] visik: Kinda like KDE4.0. Awesome features, but why would you include it in a 'enterprise' release?? [00:45] !br > ricardo_ [00:45] oi [00:45] visik7: i gave my user account FULL permissions when i created it - what do i do??? [00:46] N1N31NCHN41L5: it was a question [00:46] iu [00:46] visik: Thanks for the help, the lack of sound was getting really annoying. [00:46] ricardo_ Please stop [00:46] Malaz: don't ask it to me I really don't know :) [00:46] lol [00:46] ok [00:46] nope - only made this one when i setup [00:46] yeah the lines match (other than the 127.0.0.1 in front of it) [00:46] hi ! [00:47] N1N31NCHN41L5: mmm sudo ls what says ? [00:47] :) [00:47] wow ricardo is something [00:47] (not kidding) [00:47] but my problem isn't just with nautilus, it's anything that I apply root to that has a graphical interface [00:47] visik7: sudo ls says nothing - [00:47] is virtualbox for generic kernel a bit broken in hardy? [00:47] it will just open and immediately close [00:47] N1N31NCHN41L5: sudo -i ? [00:47] I can't load the vbox module correctly it seems [00:47] visik7: nada again [00:47] Zeroyez Have you used sudo to run gui apps in the past.. instead of gksudo? [00:47] scizzo-, having the same prob just after the kernel update. [00:48] nope [00:48] N1N31NCHN41L5: nada in what sens ? [00:48] scizzo-, it seems there isn't a vboxdrv.ko built yet for 2.6.24-19 [00:48] N1N31NCHN41L5: what does it says ? [00:48] hey everyone here download firefox 3 right now. It is officially released today. They need millions of users to download firefox 3 to set a world record. [00:48] n00dle: wonderful [00:48] http://blog.mozilla.com/airmozilla/2008/06/13/download-day-live/ [00:48] sgodsell Please stop [00:48] hey all, I've been dealing with my system locking up for about 2 months now, it does it completely random, and I could be running anything, This last time when it froze, just before it did, I noticed that there is a memory leak in something, although it locked up before I was able to find out. Where would I find out what it was? [00:48] http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=linux&lang=en-US [00:49] visik7: it doesnt say anything at all - just goes to the next line josh@ubuntu:~$ [00:49] <__ryan__> gaintsura, did you run memtest [00:49] N1N31NCHN41L5: why do you need to run those GNOME daemon processes as root? [00:49] __ryan__: yes, I've run memtest, and it found nothing [00:49] N1N31NCHN41L5: so you not have any way to become root ? [00:49] uh somehow the channel froze for me [00:49] <__ryan__> does it happen in X and console or just X [00:49] scizzo-, I found a forum entry with a reference to a bug, but the launchpad system's down for an upgrade right now, and I can't go there to see if there's a workaround, a solution, or if we're just screwed [00:49] visik7: how do i become root [00:49] __ryan__: both [00:50] !sudo > N1N31NCHN41L5 [00:50] N1N31NCHN41L5: *why* are you trying to run software-properties-gtk as root? [00:50] Failed to run /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk as user root. [00:50] N1N31NCHN41L5: not to mention, sudo is not to be used with such things, anyway. an error is expected.

[00:51] !ff3 > graft [00:51] so no i've never used sudo to run gui things, i've always used gksudo or the enter password window after clicking something in the menu [00:51] mneptok: heres where u missed the beginning - that DOESNT work - SAME eror [00:51] time to sleep bye [00:51] visik7: ty for the help [00:51] N1N31NCHN41L5: running from the menu? NOT typing commands in a terminal? [00:51] <__ryan__> gaintsura, was there anything in /var/log/syslog [00:52] you want a pastebin of my syslog? [00:52] mneptok: yes running from the menu - all these erors have come from menu not the terminal [00:52] I like this channel nobody bother you on a query if you give help [00:52] :) [00:52] <__ryan__> not if nothing stands out [00:52] 'night [00:52] Can someone help me? I cant get it to detect my 2nd monitor [00:52] <__ryan__> gaintsura, how much ram do you have on that system? [00:53] N1N31NCHN41L5: i'd like a screenshot of that, if you don't mind [00:53] 2GB [00:53] and 4GB swap [00:53] Zeroyez: try gksudo -d appname. Should give extra debug info on the terminal. Maybe something useful in there? [00:53] Christop: what kinda video card? [00:53] <__ryan__> 4gig swap is too much by the way [00:53] 8800gt === chaky_ is now known as chaky [00:53] Zeroyez: did you check your logs? [00:53] nvidia? [00:53] yea [00:54] did you try nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig [00:54] guys [00:54] ?? [00:54] Is there a repository for ubuntu where you can get kmencoder and stuff? [00:54] __ryan__: I figured as much, but its better to be safe imo [00:54] i think i had to install the nvida driver as well === silverblade is now known as silverblade|zZzZ [00:55] mneptok: there is nothing to screenshot - when it downloads the installer tool after tool downloads it all just dissapears and nothing is left - i tried to open software sources and it gave that error after asking for password then software sources does Nothing now - sudo ls just brings up anopther prompt line in the terminal - again nothing to show [00:55] but those things should let you do that [00:55] <__ryan__> i have 1 gig of ram and even with compiz going i don't even touch my swap space lol [00:55] !resolution [00:55] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[00:57] mneptok: i can't even add a repository to the list of software sources [00:58] <__ryan__> gaintsura, it could be those acip errors i guess [00:58] thats kind of what I thought, but how do I find out whats causing them? [00:59] Zeroyez: create another user and try to gksudo as another user some other process. if it works with the other user then it's likely something in root's home directory [00:59] I cant open software sources or synaptics manger at all - Please Anyone HELP === cirkit_ is now known as cirkit [00:59] <__ryan__> gaintsura, edit your grub menu.1st file and add defoptions= noapic [00:59] <__ryan__> then try reboot and see if it happens still [01:00] okay [01:00] Zeroyez: but if you're getting kernel segfaults it's likely a driver of some sort, maybe video?

[01:01] N1N31NCHN41L5: check that no pkgmanager are running, then kill the lock file [01:01] does it means the live cd i burn is broken or my cd-rom cannot run? [01:01] N1N31NCHN41L5, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and past to paste.ubuntu.com [01:01] Zeroyez: were you using custom drivers that you didn't install from repo?

[01:01] Zeroyez: boot previous kernel and see if the problem clears up [01:01] N1N31NCHN41L5: man ps [01:01] Oh, I've got virtualbox guest additions [01:02] Zeroyez: that could do it [01:02] Since half the time I'm always running ubuntu from an vmdk file on VBox on Windows [01:02] <__ryan__> gaintsura, yes soryr [01:02] <__ryan__> sorry [01:02] But I've never had a problem till this darn kernel upgrade [01:02] MrElendig: ok i typed man ps have a users man [01:02] <__ryan__> gaintsura, is it a laptop? [01:02] <__ryan__> toshiba? [01:02] yes its a laptop [01:03] <__ryan__> is it toshiba by chance? [01:03] ... [01:03] what the hell.. are you psyhic? [01:03] lol [01:03] <__ryan__> haha i know the problem [01:03] ? [01:03] <__ryan__> gaintsura, my girlfriends toshiba was doing the same thing with vista [01:04] newbeginer: it could mean a badly burned cd yes, did you check the md5 during the install ? [01:04] be right back logging in on a different user [01:04] Zeroyez: kernel upgrades are pretty major. Ubuntu is pretty aggressive with kernels, but then again i'm used to enterprise linux distros [01:04] i don know how to check md5 [01:04] __ryan__: ok, how do i fix it? [01:04] <__ryan__> gaintsura, i had to disable the power saving settings to fix it. [01:04] ?? [01:04] does nero speed can test the md5??? [01:04] <__ryan__> had to make it always 100% cpu power even while on battery [01:04] like disable ALL power saving? [01:04] <__ryan__> yes [01:05] care to point me in the direction? [01:05] newbeginer: it's in the menu option when the live cd boots up, i think near the bottom, something like 'check cd for errors' [01:05] How could I tell if a server has booted back up from an unexpected shutdown? [01:05] adamb_: ping [01:05] <__ryan__> gaintsura, i never did it for linux but i garuntee that's your problem, i bet that noacpi during boot will do it though [01:05] ok [01:05] adamb_: check last [01:06] (does i just chime in if i'm looking for help?) [01:06] <__ryan__> i'm sure there's lots on google [01:06] open /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files and make sure hostname matches 2nd line in hosts fileN1N31NCHN41L5: [01:06] newbeginer: don't know nero speed, the install cd has that menu option, very easy [01:06] __ryan__: actually I noticed that a lot of distros dislike acpi on my laptop [01:06] gaintsura: noacpi will not work, unless you are using an old bversion of Ubuntu [01:06] jameslr: and I should look for user reboot? [01:06] mneptok: Hardy [01:06] open /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files and make sure hostname matches 2nd line in hosts file [01:06] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21016/ [01:06] <__ryan__> gaintsura, i'm not sure if toshiba has a fix for it yet but they didn't a few months ago when i was trying to fix my gf's [01:06] adamb_: yeah [01:06] <__ryan__> i would call their tech support [01:06] gaintsura: the "noacpi" kernel parameter has been deprecated in favor of "acpi=off" so use that instead [01:06] N1N31NCHN41L5: open /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files and make sure hostname matches 2nd line in hosts file [01:06] ok [01:06] it should be the last user to login, yes? [01:07] when i put in the live cd...there got three button [01:07] is there a way to send faxes via ubuntu thru the internet (as i dont have a fax card or fax line)? === erenrich is now known as derenrich [01:07] it should have a "reboot" entry [01:07] mneptok, __ryan__: thats in /boot/grub/menu.lst right? [01:07] <__ryan__> yeah but do what he said ;) [01:07] N1N31NCHN41L5, what happens when you sudo apt-get update (ie what error does it give) [01:07] how do i overwrite ff2 with ff3 on gutsy? i dont want to have copies of both [01:08] <__ryan__> oh and gaintsura if you call toshiba, i wouldn't tell them you're using linux when it happens lol [01:08] there not such check disk button. [01:08] __ryan__: trust me, I know lol, I'm pretty sure I already voided the warranty [01:08] yeah i've still got the problem when logged on as a different user [01:08] I put acpi=off at the end of the kernel line right? [01:09] I also tried restarting my computer and booting into a different version kernel and it still happens [01:09] <__ryan__> gaintsura, it must be a known issue by now maybe there's a bios patch [01:09] Zeroyez: the idea was not to login to another user it was to use gksudo to run a program as another user === fmrfirebird is now known as Synik [01:09] newbeginer: there are some tips on this page http://www.linuxfortravelers.com/check-the-ubuntu-file-for-errors .. are you on a windows machine right now ? [01:09] oh :| [01:09] yes, [01:09] bazhang: josh@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update [sudo] password for josh: [01:09] josh@ubuntu:~$ [01:09] <__ryan__> first thing i did was get rid of sudo lol, i can't stand it [01:09] it just rolls right back to the prompt [01:09] Looks like empty sources.list [01:10] __ryan__: I'm supposed to put acpi=off at the end of the kernel line right? [01:10] It still immediately closes when I run something as another user [01:10] newbeginer: ok, there are plenty of md5sum checkers freely available for windows, that page mentioons a few you can try on the .iso you downloaded [01:10] <__ryan__> gaintsura, i'm not really a grub expert but that sounds right, ask in #grub [01:10] Graphical MD5Sum izzit? [01:11] gaintsura: acpi=off or else noacpi === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:11] __ryan__: alright, I'm gonna go try this, thanks for the help, I'll brb [01:11] <__ryan__> no problem, it will work lol [01:11] Although when running something from gksudo as another user I get this: [01:11] cannot open display: [01:11] Run 'nautilus --help' to see a full list of available command line options. [01:11] gaintsura: you might want to check the 'lapic' option as well if thats mentioned in your logs [01:11] I setup ssh-keys on my computer to avoid typing in my passwod, but now I have to type my passphrase _and_ my password. What do i change on the remote machine to fix this? [01:11] N1N31NCHN41L5: open /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files and make sure hostname matches 2nd line in hosts file so it should say 127.0.1.1 [01:12] any advice on shutdowns during seemingly random parts of 8.04 installation on a dell latitude d810 laptop? [01:12] newbeginer: yes, that's one you can use [01:12] I want a yahoo mess client that has support for webcam and mic [01:12] who can help me please [01:12] bazhang: legend2440: i dont have a hosts or hostname folder in etc....... [01:13] Zeroyez: I'd still try to track it down from a driver perspective. Obviously the new kernel isn't behaving well with something if you're getting segfaults [01:13] N1N31NCHN41L5: hardy? [01:13] okay, i need to go for work now...tonight i will check the iso image tht you ppl recomened for me just now. thanks for helping. good days! [01:13] bye [01:13] N1N31NCHN41L5, You still can't sudo? [01:13] Zeroyez: if you boot the previous kernel do you still get the error? [01:13] N1N31NCHN41L5: they are files, not folders [01:13] Zeroyez: or crashes [01:13] yes [01:13] everything is a file :) [01:13] legend - gutsy - trying to upgrage and this is whats in my host.conf # The "order" line is only used by old versions of the C library.

[01:14] hey folks trying to figure out how to have my toucpad turn off when i plug in a mouse, and turn back on when i unplug it... there are some things about this in the forum but very poorly documented... [01:15] Zeroyez: /var/log/messages say anything else strange? [01:15] N1N31NCHN41L5: /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname are files not folders.

[01:21] i've tried looking on google and ubuntuforums.org with no success [01:22] done [01:22] dougb: What are you trying to access via webdav, and what is your definition of secure?

I got Debian but am thinking of switching th Ubuntu, Debian takes too long to release and the Deb unstable is too unstable. Can I just switch repos and start upgrading packages? Or would that really not work? [01:24] ... no help :( [01:24] OH MAN [01:24] where? [01:24] Im having a little problem [01:24] dougb: oh, sorry, you want to conenct to one, not set one up. Right. There's a number of things you can add: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=webdav&searchon=all&suite=hardy§ion=all (a lot of those will be libraries/server related0 [01:24] elllaxxx, no idea; offtopic here [01:24] nope still happens [01:24] dougb: There has been a bug filed against this with Nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/222532 (although launchpad is currently unavailable) [01:24] yitz_: It may work, but isn't supported, no. [01:24] genii: Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: HTTP Error 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable (https://launchpad.net/bugs/222532/+text) [01:24] Zeroyez: sorry man I'm outta ideas. [01:24] I've just done a clean Gutsy install with the alternate CD, but i cant configure eth0 so i can enable Firestarter, what can i do? [01:25] I'll try booting inside virtualbox and see if anything good happens [01:25] hi [01:25] How can i install firefox 3 in ubuntu ffrom a package? [01:25] elllaxxx, please dont PM me about this as it is offtopic and I have no idea [01:25] installation issue with random shutdowns sprinkled throughout the process. should i ask about it here or just go for it on the forums? [01:25] Flannel: That sounds very non-commital ;) Any idea is people did it? [01:25] wat kind of package sebastian? [01:25] sEbAsTiAnFfX, you cant [01:25] :O [01:25] :( [01:25] is there an expert on installing? [01:25] I've just done a clean Gutsy install with the alternate CD, but i cant configure eth0 so i can enable Firestarter, what can i do? [01:25] Drk_Guy: man interfaces will show you examples of entries you can make in the file /etc/network/interfaces to declare your ethernet devices [01:25] yitz_: It's noncommital because it probably wont work ;) No, I dont know of anyone who has done it. [01:25] sEbAsTiAnFfX, wait a few days and there should be a package soon [01:26] but there will be a package soon? [01:26] ok [01:26] can somebody help me with the qtella install? [01:26] thanks [01:26] Any command to configure ip adress and the like? [01:26] sebastian the package is available in synaptec package manager [01:26] genii, i need to configure static IP [01:26] the install is available [01:26] stewy__, firefox 3.0? [01:26] ok thanks you guys, i'm working with a bunch of kids right now so i'll go back to that page you provided Flannel [01:26] Drk_Guy: Yes, the manpage covers those examples as well. [01:26] !install | mabus3ac [01:26] mabus3ac: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [01:26] stewy, but is RC [01:26] is not the final [01:26] and i'll keep an update on that launchpad page genii [01:26] legend2440: paste in here???? [01:26] Flannel: Probably not? Oh well. I guess I'm gonna stick with Deb for the while. Maybe get backports... Thanks for your time! [01:27] sEbAsTiAnFfX, the final is in repos; should hit your mirror soon. [01:27] N1N31NCHN41L5: no in pastebin [01:27] hi, even if I leave the root account disabled, should I still give it a password with sudo passwd, otherwise it can be accessed in recovery mode?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [01:27] bazhang, really ahh wow that was quick [01:27] dougb: Should be back up soon, it's a few minutes overdue to come back from some maintenance [01:27] __ryan__: I ran acpi=off and that REALLY did not go well with my system. Also, something that clicked during that ordeal, at boot after selecting my OS, I get a bug notice.. let me see if I can find it [01:27] also synaptic also updated it automatically for me [01:27] IdleOne, thankfully so :) [01:28] bazhang, hehe I hear you [01:28] emorris: securing a box from physical access is a challenge. No password security will give complete peace of mind [01:28] i just finished building my computer, put a install disc in to get an os on it, but it cant load it. i tried like 4 distro but none will work... [01:28] mabus3ac, did you set in bios to boot from cd first? [01:28] have you tried a live cd mabus? [01:28] emorris: trust your users or...don't let them access the machine :P [01:28] Hi everyone...anyone know how to setup a scanner? Mine used to work before the 8.04 upgrade and I'm not sure how to get it back. [01:28] emorris: No. You shouldn't give it a password. Physical access to a system is doom for security. [01:28] where is "man 2 dup" ? [01:28] i cant install qtella :( [01:28] it starts booting from cd. it even shows the loading bar for ubuntu [01:29] but then it crushes [01:29] mabus3ac, then md5 the iso [01:29] genii, There is a GUI config utility available, but which is the cmd for running it? [01:29] jameslr, Flannel: is there any harm in giving it a password though? [01:29] md5? [01:29] legend2440: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21019/ [01:29] !md5 | mabus3ac [01:29] mabus3ac: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:29] i have the same issue as mabus3ac [01:29] Firefox update today? [01:29] emorris: not really. as long as the password is secure [01:29] emorris: You'll be enabling the root account [01:29] reteph, then see ubottu link above [01:29] where are all the programming man pages?!!? [01:29] when i do the ./configure on qtella it says it cant find the qt header files but i have the qt header files installed [01:29] md5'ed everything. [01:29] swansk, yes to final [01:29] it's all correct. [01:29] <__ryan__> gaintsura, did your system still boot? [01:30] reteph, then do integrity check on disk [01:30] * swansk 's update manager at work [01:30] __ryan__: yes, however it disabled A LOT of stuff [01:30] hello, i need help, I was beeing stupid today and did su and tried userdel root, and now i can't boot up [01:30] jameslr, Flannel: really? I thought you could just leave it disabled but set a password [01:30] since when is root 'disabled'? [01:30] N1N31NCHN41L5: did you find "hostname" file in /etc? and does it say ubuntu in there? [01:30] it has a shell... [01:30] <__ryan__> gaintsura, yeah there must be another way [01:30] legend2440: and ALL it says in hostname is ubuntu [01:31] emorris: No, its disabled, or it has a password. If you wanted, I suppose you could set up a password at the GRUB prompt. But again, access to a physical system meansyou can circumvent any sort of security put into place [01:31] everything's working fine when I run Ubuntu from a vmdk on virtualbox [01:31] *sigh* ahh being ignored... such a fun activity [01:31] jameslr: Always [01:31] I can do gksudo and everything [01:31] jameslr: the root account is locked. You can get a root shell with sudo -i [01:31] i did that integrity check , and it finds a problem, but i dont realy see why it should be on 5 cds [01:31] jameslr: sorry, i meant like loging in to gnome or a login shell [01:31] bazhang: this is the second disk i've tried. they checked out. i also tried my old 5.10 disks that were official disk from ubuntu. same issue. [01:31] mabus3ac: You need to burn it slower. 4x is recommended. [01:31] bazhang, remind me what the command to see what version package is installed? [01:31] Flannel: OK, thanks [01:31] stewy__, just saying cant do it will get little help; we need exact errors, what you tried, what tutorial you were following etc [01:31] IdleOne: apt-cahe policy package [01:31] Drk_Guy: When there is no entries in the /etc/network/interfaces normally networkmanager is giving an icon which you can use. [01:31] Flannel, thanks was the policy part I forgot lol [01:32] well, ill try. but is it normal that all 5 cds run on my old computer and not on my new one? [01:32] genii, Cant find it [01:32] N1N31NCHN41L5: ok thats right. sorry i thought that might be the problem. sometimes hosts and hostname files don't match and it causes problems like yours.. but not the case here [01:32] mabus3ac: Have you tried the alternate CD? [01:32] mabus3ac, no that is not normal [01:32] Drk_Guy: I'm curently on KDE so I can't easily guide you on where to find it [01:32] no - and i am SOOOOOOOO lost [01:32] __ryan__: I cant find the bug notice anywhere =\ [01:32] Flannel, 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 0 is FF3.0 final? [01:32] guys i need help [01:32] no i tried ubuntu, ubuntu 64 , kubuntu, mandriva and knoppix [01:32] i have this ubuntu cd [01:33] N1N31NCHN41L5: problem just started? [01:33] mabus3ac, the alt cd or the minimal perhaps then [01:33] all but u64 run on my old one [01:33] bazhang i got the qtella file as a tar.gz file. Did the tar xvzf thing and its now extracted. Im trying to run the configure now but it wont run [01:33] i setup the computer to boot from the cd drive [01:33] but it wont fire the installation [01:33] it was in manpages-dev ! [01:33] IdleOne: No, that's beta5. hardy-updates has rc1, and final will be out soon-ish (before 8.04.1) [01:33] genii, I dont knwo how, but it disappeared [01:33] is there a way to send faxes via ubuntu thru the internet (as i dont have a fax card or fax line)? [01:33] JFlash, give us the whole question on one line please-->easy on the enter key [01:33] mabus3ac: could the CD drive be faulty? [01:33] anyway i can trigger ubuntu installation from the command line ? [01:33] bazhang the error i get is "qt headers not found. If you have installed Qt in an unusual place, please use the "--with-qt-includes=" option [01:33] first time i tried to upgrade or add software repositories was today [01:33] arooni: there are OS-independent services for that [01:34] I am going to assume today's firefox update isn't all that different from what I have been using on Ubuntu. [01:34] Drk_Guy: You could try running it by: alt-f2 then: networkmanager [01:34] i suspect my building skillz to be faulty [01:34] Flannel, bazhang said it was already up but he may have been mistaken or maybe my mirrors havent been updated yet [01:34] is there a way to pause boot up? [01:34] the issue comes up randomly throughout installation.. i've seen some stuff on the forums possible relating to "intel_rng: FWH not detected" but i'm not sure how to deal with it. [01:34] stewy__, you compiling from source? be sure build-essential is installed [01:34] arooni: www.efax.com? [01:34] or even be able to see EVERYTHING that is output by the system from the time you select an OS to boot [01:34] legend2440: first time i tried to upgrade or add software repositories was today [01:34] how can I bootstrap the livecd from the command line please. It's not booting on startup for some reason [01:34] N1N31NCHN41L5: maybe if you post your problem here again someone will have an idea [01:34] i ll finish for today... thx for your help [01:35] genii, Found cmd, network-admin [01:35] arooni: drivetoyourneighborhoodkinkos.com [01:35] arooni: There are also programs in the repos: efax (with efax-gtk), anda number of other applications: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=fax&searchon=names&suite=hardy§ion=all [01:35] bazhang yes i have build-essential installed and yes im compiling from source, it was the only method available [01:35] Is gnome better than kde?

[01:35] Hodge, offtopic here; please go to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:35] i want to ask a stupid question, how do you phonetically say ubuntu? you bun tuh? [01:35] I started network-admin with gksu, but it wont let me modify values [01:36] swansk: not much no, i guess you shouln't notice any changes, besides some extensions (add-ons) you might have installed that are still not compatible [01:36] :( [01:36] ravtux: oo-boon-too [01:36] ty :-) [01:36] so, try alternate cd install and then come back and get further assistance if that doesn't work? [01:36] arooni: where are you located? [01:36] soundray, seattle, wa [01:37] reteph, well you could put some boot params in like acpi=off and remove quiet and splash to see all the error messages [01:37] I am looking to format my HDD to NTFS rather then Fat32 how would I got about this? [01:37] arooni: there are plenty of US-based email-to-fax services [01:37] soundray, any free? [01:37] okay. thank you. i'll give all of those a try. have a good night to those who helped. [01:37] bazhang i tried running ./configure --with-qt-includes but i dont know wat to put after the = sign [01:38] FireFlyFan: best done in windows...just use the GUI tools to format it as NTFS [01:38] FireFlyFan: You can just fdisk [01:38] arooni: probably. Some of the UK ones are free. [01:38] yeah I lack windows at the moment which is why I am asking.... [01:38] ASULutzy: fdisk doesn't format the drive, just partitions it. [01:38] jameslr: You can create a new partition and set the file system type to ntfs, no? [01:38] hey, how difficult is it to alter the ubuntu boot splash logo? [01:39] ASULutzy: yeah, but I dare you to write a file to that resulting drive... [01:39] !usplash | Bizzeh [01:39] Bizzeh: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [01:39] ASULutzy: or mount it for that matter [01:39] [Q] What is the sudo apt-get command to auto remove stuff i dont need? [01:39] jameslr: Really that bad huh? [01:39] solexious: sudo apt-get autoremove [01:39] jameslr: You can't just set the id to 7 and then write it? [01:39] hey guys i need help i accidently deleted root [01:39] soundray: Thank you [01:39] ASULutzy: no, you have to create a proper filesystem on it first. [01:39] BUBOY: what exactly did you delete? [01:39] another problem i'm having, how do i get rid of the msg on start up that says "undefined video mode 31b" [01:40] jameslr: oh of course [01:40] soundray: i was being dumb, and did userdel root [01:40] N1N31NCHN41L5: does sudo -i work in terminal? [01:40] jameslr: I was saying fdisk it to set the partition and then use mkfs.ntfs [01:41] jameslr: http://linux.die.net/man/8/mkfs.ntfs [01:41] MP-Bios Bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC <--- anyone know what thats all about? (I'm googling now( [01:41] now it gives me sudo: no passwd entry for root! [01:41] BUBOY: you can probably boot from a live CD and fix it. [01:41] ASULutzy: it's just preference I guess. I wouldn't use a windows utility to make an ext3 filesystem [01:41] ok, thanks [01:41] jameslr: I'll agree with you here that it's probably safer to use windows [01:41] ASULutzy: that's all I was saying. Not that you couldn't do it. I know you can format NTFS on linux. just scary though... [01:41] BUBOY: you need to mount your root directory and edit /mnt/etc/passwd (you can use the live system's /etc/passwd as a model) [01:42] __ryan__: you may have been right with the noapic as apposed to acpi=off [01:42] Just a quick question, has there been any progress in terms of getting the ATI drivers to work for Hardy by any chance? Previously, the Catalyst 8.4 driver for my x1650 worked fine under Gutsy, but not so much with Hardy/Elyssa. [01:42] hey IndyGunFreak ^_^ [01:42] thank you guys [01:42] gaintsura: how's it going.. [01:42] Karsynoma: gl with that one. I have yet to get my Catalyst drivers working in Hardy with DRI [01:43] <__ryan__> gaintsura, why's that [01:43] Karsynoma: my desktop has a 2900XT and uses the fglrx drivers just fine [01:43] not bad, I'm getting closer to solving my lock problems... it seems there is a memory leak in something [01:43] <__ryan__> i think apic is more so power management [01:43] <__ryan__> i'm not sure [01:43] Karsynoma, jameslr: Though I haven't tried dual-head on the desktop [01:43] __ryan__: MP-Bios Bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC <-- that and a post on linuxquestions.org [01:43] ASULutzy: are you getting DRI to work properly? compiz and the like? [01:43] IndyGunFreak: not bad, figuring out my locking problem, seems to be a memory leak/hog [01:43] jameslr: Compiz works just fine on my desktop [01:43] gaintsura: purple? [01:43] jameslr: Again, using a 2900XT [01:44] __ryan__: that's acpi [01:44] IndyGunFreak: I'm not sure exactly what the memory leak/hog is, I never get a chance to find out before I fully lock up [01:44] irc://irc.rizon.net/KaizouFansubs [01:44] ASULutzy: what does your fglrxinfo output? mine is using MesaGL...I need to fix that. I still can't get the damned DRI to work though. [01:44] jameslr: I did have to write a custom script to rewrite /proc/mtrr in order to get fglrx to work with 4 gb or more of ram... That was absolutely brutal, but other than that [01:44] glitsj16: then what is apic ? [01:44] ASULutzy: I had to uninstall all compiz otherwise I would get a white screen [01:44] gaintsura: ok, i think i know who you are..lol, i didn't recognize the nname [01:44] does anybody here have the RTL8187 wireless card??? [01:44] gaintsura: advanced programmable interrupt controller [01:44] =P [01:44] jameslr: I wonder if your problem is related to what mine was... Do you have >3.2GB of ram? [01:44] __RYAN__: not sure, but i think that is a BIOS related system [01:44] soundray: ahh ok [01:44] ASULutzy: no, just 2GB [01:45] gaintsura: well i wouldn't have thought of a memory leak, thats for sure.. [01:45] soundray: is it viable to disable it if its causing problems? [01:45] ASULutzy: are you running 32bit? or 64? [01:45] how can I bootstrap the livecd from the command line of another distro please? It's not booting on startup for some reason [01:45] jameslr: 64 bit on the desktop [01:45] The whole issue is a bit frustrating. I naively thought that the Catalyst 8.5 driver would somehow solve this issue, but my effort was in vain. That was a 54MB or so download, and I'm on dial-up. I nearly yanked my hair out. [01:45] gaintsura: yes [01:45] IndyGunFreak: me either, I caught it out of the corner of my eye on my task bar, swap and physical were full up [01:45] <__ryan__> gaintsura, either way your problem is the power settings for your cpu's, not sure how to disable it though [01:45] gaintsura: hmm [01:45] soundray: ok, so it would be noapic right? [01:45] irc://irc.omgirc.com/chatzone [01:45] hey any one here has firefox3 yet? [01:45] ASULutzy: I have an X850 Pro. A bit older than your card...should still work. [01:45] gaintsura: yes [01:45] ^_^ thanks soundray [01:45] nspryspartan, yeah i just updated it [01:45] gaintsura: ok, so it wasn't my fault, i t was your fault for not giving me enougth info..lol [01:46] jameslr: I can't unfortunately get the output of fglrxinfo from here [01:46] nspryspartan, a quick sudo apt-get update will get you FF3 [01:46] well can i get some help on it? [01:46] IndyGunFreak: =P I didn't evne know it was happening until about an hour ago lol [01:46] ohh ok i try it. thank you ish! [01:46] lol [01:46] jameslr: I'm in class on my laptop which has an Intel integrated card... I can ssh to my box at home but no way to get fglrxinfo output to work right [01:46] ASULutzy: I see [01:46] jameslr: I guess I could set up a VNC server, but it's probably easier to just wait till I get home [01:46] ish_nitti: that won't get you any new packages [01:47] soundray, __ryan__: I'm gonna go try this, I shall brb! [01:47] soundray, but should pop up the update notification for them [01:47] jameslr: You can either write me an email address/send me a forum message, my name on the ubuntu forums is ASULutzy [01:47] jameslr: And I'll be happy to give you the output of my fglrxinfo [01:48] hello, is there a way to install ubuntu from the console, avoiding to load X and all that? [01:48] ASULutzy: i've been hanging out in here. I don't browse forums often. Thanks though [01:48] !alternate | pierd [01:48] pierd: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [01:48] ANyone know how to check if you have java? There's a site that streams music and my firefox browser doesn't respond to the music player which is java based [01:48] jameslr: Well if I see you in #ubuntu again I'll be sure to give you the output (: [01:48] I suppose I'll bite the bullet and try the fglrx driver again. It failed to work in the Linux Mint RC1 beta, and I can only assume that it'll do the same again. [01:48] illriginal: type java at a terminal? [01:49] Karsynoma: Yea, fglrx sucks without a doubt, but it's generally workable [01:49] wow, 63 updates :/ [01:49] hold on james [01:49] illriginal: you need to check whether there is a Java plugin (load about:plugins as the URL) and make sure it's matched with your configured JRE (check with update-alternatives --list java) [01:49] soundray: could i use the example in /usr/share/doc/libusplash-dev/examples, replace the images and build that one? [01:50] Bizzeh: probably [01:50] jameslr, when I type java i get all kinds of output [01:50] ASULutzy, no kidding, but at this rate, any sort of support for the 3d effects will be welcomed. This is getting absolutely annoying, so much so that I actually thought of reverting to either Linux Mint 4 or Gutsy to get the support back, not only for Compiz, but for a number of other applications. [01:50] illriginal: tells you that the program 'java' can be found in several packages? [01:50] illriginal, instructing you on switches and options? [01:50] yes sir [01:51] I'm having problems getting my optical out to work for sound, is there a way to make sure that I have the right sound drivers? nothing fails when booting [01:51] jameslr, im at this website: http://www.610wiod.com/cc-common/ondemand/faq/ [01:51] illriginal: you can follow the instructions in the output: sudo apt-get install . I personally would download java from sun and install it [01:51] Karsynoma: How are you installing the driver? I've used Envy and it's worked well, and I've also download the binary from ati.com and generated the hardy package and installed that and it worked [01:51] it's the audio player on the upper left hand corner. [01:51] illriginal: for java browser support you will need java plugin, have you installed one ? [01:52] anyone any idea when virtualbox will have latest kernel supported for 64 bit? [01:52] glitsj16, im not sure, that's what im trying to figure out. I have firefox 3 beta [01:52] scragar: They generally lag behind a few days before a suitable module is available for the most cutting edge kernel [01:52] ASULutzy, the binary from the ATI website. I've tried both versions 8.4 and 8.5, both of which have failed for Hardy/Elyssa. [01:53] scragar: I had to use -17 for about a week before modules for -18 became available [01:53] Karsynoma: Try Envy? [01:53] illriginal: like soundray suggested: go to "about:plugins" in the address bar of Firefox. [01:53] !envy | Karsynoma [01:53] Karsynoma: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [01:53] ASULutzy, the Envy route is tempting... but guess who has dial-up? This guy! [01:53] Karsynoma: Heh, sometimes you have to suffer ;) [01:53] illriginal: enter about-plugins (with a ":" instead of a "-") into the urlbar and you can see (the ":" is just there because otherwise a smiley pops here to make it unreadable, not to mess around lol) [01:54] power just got knocked out and now cant log in, says nick already in use,,, how do i fix? [01:54] illriginal: by default you won't have it most likely. Just download java from sun and install it. You'll need to link the plugin from the distribution to the plugins directory for firefox. I think that's /usr/lib/mozillaplugins [01:54] ASULutzy, time to troll the internets before taking that dive. Thanks for the assistance. [01:54] er /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [01:55] Elrox, /msg nickserv ghost [01:55] jameslr, i did the about : plugins [01:55] ASULutzy: OK, thanks for the info. [01:55] I see that java is installed, jameslr [01:55] TY LordOllie [01:55] Elrox, np [01:55] then you should be good to go [01:56] Karsynoma, scragar: no problem :) [01:56] would you be able to go to this site and see if the stream player works? http://www.610wiod.com/cc-common/ondemand/faq/ [01:56] illriginal, restart firefox also and try the site again [01:56] maybe the site is having problems? not sure... [01:56] how can you update your nokia n82 sofware, when then prog you supose to use only suprt osx and win? [01:56] illriginal: sorry, I don't have java installed. [01:56] understood. === Elrox is now known as SeaPhor [01:57] ok, noapic got rid of the bug notice... lets see how that affects my locking problem ^_^ [01:58] The background on my conky is shifted up some. Any one know of a way to fix this? [01:58] hi!!!!!! [01:58] oops. wrong window [01:58] gaintsura Which bug notice did noapic fix for you? [01:58] hm... can I just re-install java? [01:58] Heh, Jack_Sparrow do you ever leave here? :P [01:58] illriginal: why? [01:58] MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC [01:58] Jack_Sparrow: You're in here more than me and I was here 12 hours ago ;) [01:58] hi i need to know how is Firefox 3 ? [01:59] illriginal: try other java apps on the web [01:59] nspryspartan: its not bad, I've got it right now, just put it on yesterday [01:59] jameslr, because I don't think my java is working properly =\ [01:59] fine, thanks for asking, nspryspartan [01:59] I'm trying to get wireless working in ubuntu 8.04 on a Compaq Presario F700 with no luck so far [01:59] well i not sure if i have it? [01:59] ASULutzy the most I have been here is 20 hrs in a day [01:59] nspryspartan: I found FF3 kind of slow, switched back to 2 [01:59] firefox 3 was wondering how you are actually, nspryspartan [01:59] gaintsura thanks.. just for my notes [01:59] illriginal, the stream is not working for me either [01:59] Jack_Sparrow: What are they paying you? :P [01:59] cause i have firefox 2 still on the application list. [02:00] i use firefox 3 on ubuntu [02:00] it's good, i don't know what your problem was asmo[B] [02:00] and i got the update for it. and on the website it replaces firefox 2 [02:00] IdleOne, ok thanks... I was hoping it was just their site. [02:00] JenJen I have the compaq Presario v2000 all I did was install wifi-radar from the repos [02:00] ASULutzy I wish [02:00] Vedestin: if you used it on any other system you wouldn't be here >=P [02:00] so i not sure if i have it. [02:00] Vedestin: maybe it's the drugs [02:00] Jack_Sparrow: NP [02:00] illriginal, well all that proves is that we both cant listen. does not mean that site is down. but it's a start [02:00] JRiZ wifi radar has caused some issues in the past.. [02:00] JRiZ, i have all that installed, however it does not detect any wireless devices [02:01] how can i speed things up?? [02:01] Jack_Sparrow: now, I can only hope that it fixed my system lock issue [02:01] so any advice plez i really like Firefox and thunderbird. [02:01] hmmm thats weird I been using it for like 5 months now and no problems, at the time I didnt know of any other options [02:02] and also why is it every time i look at videos or just brows the web it closes like nothing? [02:02] nspryspartan: you never really asked a question... except how is it, and you got 3 opinions, one negative, one positive and one sarcastic [02:02] in fact i don't really see what type of benefit wifi-radar would do for my situation [02:02] The background on my conky is shifted up some. Any one know of a way to fix this? [02:02] scifiguy951 Speed what things up... in general.. turn off effects.. they can really slow down a system [02:02] sorry well asmo how can i get it then? [02:02] hey all [02:03] jenjen I just picked my connection from the frop down list in wifi-radar once and it saves it all and auto connects me. [02:03] nspryspartan: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 [02:03] the installer is offering me 2 options: "erase entire disk: xxx " or "Erase entire disk and use LVM: xxx " .. Which one should I pick/ [02:03] ? [02:03] thank you. [02:03] does IO::Socket perl module work on Ubuntu 8.04? [02:03] JFlash How are you trying to install what version of what software [02:03] lspci says this about the wireless device "03:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [02:04] jenjen did u let hardware manager install the firmware? [02:04] jenjen: ndiswrapper is your best bet [02:04] JRiZ no drivers are being loaded into the kernel for my device [02:04] well i guess i allready had it. === Biolunar_ is now known as Biolunar [02:04] but thanks asmo. [02:04] gaintsura, can you please explain what i do with ndiswrapper? i have no experience with ndiswrapper === Pinky is now known as Pinkie [02:04] jenjen try what giantsura posted [02:05] jenjen: what is your specific atheros card? [02:05] So I have a machine that is dual boot RHEL and Ubuntu, but for network reasons the machine has the same name in the two boots, but when I SSH into the 2nd OS I get the following error: WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! and a bunch of other things.... is there anyway to avoid checking of the fingerprint or two add more then one fingerprint to a computer name? [02:05] JFlash: breeze badger === Pinkie is now known as Pinky [02:05] hi ... i had windwos vista and i made a second partition and i installed kubuntu .. when i press the power button the pc starts and gives me a list so that to select which OS i want to start ... at first ita has kubuntu and then windows vista .. how can i change this to show first windows vista and then kubuntu ??? [02:05] nspryspartan: when you right click on the icon and go to properties does it say 'firefox-3 %u' ? [02:05] Jack_Sparrow: Breeze badger [02:05] live cd [02:05] Hi guys [02:05] I have a question [02:05] gaintsura, its an internal wifi card, lspci says it is an AR242x 802.11abg [02:05] what else can i do? [02:05] JFlash Why install something that is already past end of life [02:05] stega: i only have libio-socket-ssl-perl, that works just fine [02:06] Why Firestarter keeps on blocking connections to X port, if its supposed to be open? [02:06] lakis1982, you need to edit your grub conf file its located at /etc/grub/menu.lst back up a copy of the current file before you start editing it, Just change the order that they are listed as in the file [02:06] jenjen: ok, hang on one minute [02:06] gaintsura, it is not my computer so im not really at liberty to open it up and read the numbers on the physical device [02:06] Why Firestarter keeps on blocking connections to X port, if its supposed to be open? [02:06] no need [02:06] ??? [02:06] Jack_Sparrow: I'm downloading the most recent but it will take me almost a day [02:06] glitsj16, for some reason I can't get output back once it connects I tried running a packet trace with Wireshark [02:06] RSA host key for xx.xx.xx.xx has changed and you have requested strict checking. <---- is there anyway to block this message?

[02:07] jenjen: I'm pulling up the guide right now, will paste the link in a moment [02:07] nope just firefox browser [02:07] jrib: the label [02:07] neeto: depends on the filesystem [02:07] gaintsura, thank you very much [02:07] jrib: ntfs [02:07] stega: did you install it via apt or via cpan ? not that i can explain the trouble you have but my experience is that the ubuntu packages work [02:08] jenjen: no worries, I had to go through the same thing with my system [02:08] apt [02:08] what packages do I need to install? [02:08] ooooh [02:08] neeto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive [02:08] shouldn't it work right out the box? [02:08] jrib: thanks [02:08] slayton: just mount the / partition from the other OS and copy the /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key to the corresponding directory. [02:08] The background on my conky is shifted up some. Any one know of a way to fix this? [02:08] jameslr great! thanks [02:08] Why Firestarter keeps on blocking connections to X port, if its supposed to be open? [02:08] And why it says eht0 is not ready? [02:08] stega: the naming schemes are different, but easy enough if you get the pattern, look for libio-..., there are quite a few in Synaptic [02:09] slayton: they might be in a different location on RHEL.

So just copy the files over. ssh_host* [02:10] speed it up so things load faster mainly [02:10] can I run gparted off the cd while in ubuntu already? [02:10] scifiguy951 how much ram do you have [02:10] slayton: you'll need to remove any reference from your client machines that reference the old keys though...they're cached [02:10] asmo[B] yes [02:11] idk?? [02:11] jameslr, how do I do that? [02:11] buenas noches alguien de argentina? [02:11] !es | pablo [02:11] asmo[B] you mean form install os using cd as repo? [02:11] pablo: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [02:11] slayton: if they're linux hosts then they're in ~/.ssh/known_hosts [02:11] how can i find out? [02:11] Drk_Guy: pm me,this channel is so busy [02:11] Jack_Sparrow: thanks, should've checked for a package first anyway [02:11] np [02:11] and how can make it so things such as torrent dl faster?

[02:12] slayton: nope [02:12] stega: you assumed because i know how to install a perl lib that i know perl :) i only needed it for ssl support in checkgmail .. can't judge to be honest [02:12] jameslr: THANKYOU! [02:13] ??? [02:13] slayton: you bet [02:13] glitsj16, sorry =P thanks for the help [02:13] scifiguy951 for starters.. what exactly does lsb_release -a show you when typed in a terminal? [02:13] jenjen: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=800686 follow that to the T and you will be fine [02:13] stega: what are you doing? [02:13] stega: very welcome, hoped it knew perl though, goodluck with debugging your problems [02:13] glitsj16: You know checkgmail is in the repos, right? [02:13] thank you gaintsura [02:13] jameslr, i'm just trying to make something that connects to a web server and prints out the response I can't get it working in ubuntu [02:14] certainly jenjen [02:14] i can pastebin the source [02:14] Flannel: yep, but without ssl support [02:14] does installing firestarer close ports? Or is firestart just a GUI frontend to the built in firewall? [02:14] !firewall [02:14] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [02:14] stega: go ahead. I can take a look at it [02:14] Hi, i have need to know informations/descriptions about linux network interfaces, where i can find a guide? [02:14] slayton: the latter of those [02:14] ok thats what I thought.... [02:15] http://pastebin.com/d4581da34 === slayton is now known as DrWho [02:15] jameslr, http://pastebin.com/d4581da34 that should work shouldn't it? === DrWho is now known as Darlek === Darlek is now known as gallefrey [02:16] Hi all. I'm a vision impaired user on Ubuntu 8.04, I'm using Compiz and the Enhanced Desktop zoom plugin for usability. I have a problem with font rendering though ( and rendering in general ). WHen zoomeing in a fair bit, text looks horrible and barely readable. How can I improve this ? [02:16] Flannel: that's actually a problem in my opinion, how many users go through their logs to find that out ? checkgmail falls back to regular http so you won't notice .. you won't happen to know if and where one could 'report' or suggest to make that a dependency ? [02:16] jenjen, do you see what i am talkin about? [02:16] prologic: You should be able to set more readable font sizes by default without need for zooming [02:16] scifiguy951 Thanks for not pasteing into the channel but next time please use the pastebin [02:16] hi, i have a question. i'm currently running gentoo, and got another hard drive that i have mounted and blah blah blah. anyways, i wanted to run the kubuntu install cd (mount -o loop) from gentoo (i can't seem to find any blank CDs), and thought i should be able to do this...but i'm not sure how to go about it. the slave hdd i installed today is where i want kubuntu to go...i have the cd mounted already...anyway of doing this? [02:17] how do i use it? [02:17] !iso [02:17] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [02:17] Tonglebeak common question.. but the answer is no [02:17] !install > Tonglebeak (read the private message from ubottu) [02:17] jameslr, what do you think? [02:17] Tonglebeak: see if any of the methods there will work for you [02:17] dabbill, it looks like it is getting run before the rest of the desktop finishes loading, try running it seperately or add a wait to the start script === gallefrey is now known as gallifrey [02:18] I want to install Hardy on a thumb drive for a friend, I found this on the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent I'm not sure if I read it correctly, does that mean I can install on a thumb drive through the normal installer? [02:19] jenjen, it starts doing it after a few days of the computer being up [02:19] jenjen, i can kill conky and restart it all i want and it still does it till i reboot the computer [02:19] bobbob1016 persistent mode usually means you run live and changes to the setup are saved to the usb [02:19] Super: I tend to need everything zoomed. Not just fonts - or I'd stick with a framebuffer console :) (my colleages won't like that!) :) [02:19] !usb [02:19] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [02:20] bobbob1016 See also pendrivelinux.com [02:20] Jack_Sparrow, I saw a few things there, but I wasn't sure if it meant you could go just from the thumb drive, thanks. [02:20] k [02:21] does anyone know if there is a firewall similar to Comodo? Comodo is open source, but not linux supported =( [02:21] glitsj16: Well, https is supported in the Hardy version at least (its a depends) [02:21] something else please ... can i play games of windows in linux .. i mean games like fifa , assassins creed , grand theft auto etc ... ??? [02:21] lakis1982, some games check out winehq.com [02:22] lakis1982: best way to do so is via wine or a virtual box [02:22] !wine [02:22] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.

[02:23] Jack_Sparrow, k [02:23] what is virtual box? [02:23] dabbill, im not familiar enough with conky to really know, try posting on their forums or finding a conky related irc channel [02:23] LordOllie, ty again!

[02:23] SeaPhor, no problem. I think I though I don't remember what I did. :( [02:24] lakis1982: I wouldn't know specifically, but I'm pretty sure it would work [02:24] brb [02:24] lol LordOllie i was Elrox,,, my power went off [02:24] jenjen, thanks i will check out the conky channel [02:25] SeaPhor, ahh. Now I remember. :) [02:25] dabbill, sorry i couldn't help, good luck [02:25] how do i install it ? [02:25] can someone recommend a good book on learning ubuntu, and maybe debian? [02:25] jenjen, NP atleast ya tried :) [02:25] LordOllie, did fine on this box, but not for wife,,, she had to re-boot [02:26] yawn [02:26] SeaPhor, I normally ghost before registering a nick to kill off any other instances of myself. BitchX is nice like that though. [02:27] hey, is there any reason why lspci isn't showing my wireless network card? [02:27] Vixus: Perhaps it's USB? [02:28] no, no, I definitely stuck it in there.. [02:28] LordOllie, cool, i'll keep that in mind, TY again (i use xchat, yeah...its easy) [02:28] Vixus, it is not pci [02:28] Howdy! I've got a GRUB question. How do I configure boot so that, instead of booting to GNOME, Ubuntu starts up sans splash screen and dumps me to a tty? [02:28] i'm sure it is. [02:28] oops too slow on the guess [02:28] Also, how do I get GRUB to dump me in a tty with a custom resolution (1024x600)? [02:29] Vixus, try lshw -C network [02:29] i have a belkin usb wireless dongle connected too but no luck there.. [02:29] did you lsusb ? [02:29] no.. i wasn't really into it to be honest.. [02:30] it's ubuntu studio and i was wondering whether to switch to 64 studio instead.. [02:30] is there a way to get this final version of ff3 via ubuntu repo ? [02:31] psych, sudo apt-get update [02:31] psych the RC3 and Final are the same version. [02:31] To add a cron job do i do 'crontab -e' then enter stuff there? [02:31] back [02:31] anyone using ubuntu on a enterprise lvl [02:32] Flynsarmy, can add a file to /etc/cron.d/ directory too [02:32] mib_b6hjoi: do you always want to boot to command line? [02:32] gaintsura: any joy? [02:32] jameslr: Not permanently--I'd like GUI to be an option [02:32] Stage3: If i do crontab -e how do i add a line? It doesn't work like nano [02:32] IndyGunFreak: so far so good... seems to be running decently, not lagging or anything [02:33] gaintsura: so you actually got installed? [02:33] jameslr: For the next few days I'll be using it primarily as a console, and I'd like a nice resolution [02:33] IndyGunFreak: ??? [02:33] jameslr: And fonts, too--but that's my next goal :-) [02:33] Flynsarmy, I preffer to edit with nano and add the file to that directory [02:33] gaintsura: weren't you having the issue that you couldn't get installed, because the partitioner didn't see the hard drive? [02:33] IndyGunFreak: nope [02:33] wasnt me [02:34] I was just having X lockups [02:34] Flynsarmy, you caan do [02:34] gaintsura: sorry, confused youl... [02:34] lol again [02:34] Flynsarmy, crontab file.txt too [02:34] Stage3: Thtat'll add a new one? [02:34] IndyGunFreak: could you recommend a good firewall for ubuntu thats similar to Comodo Firewall? [02:34] mib_b6hjoi: that's nothing to do with GRUB [02:34] I'm not digging iptables/firestarter [02:35] gaintsura: i don't like software firewalls, never have used one, even on windoze [02:35] Flynsarmy, do this: crontab -l >> file.txt [02:35] gaintsura: i just properly confiugure a hardware firewall, and trust it. [02:35] IndyGunFreak: if I could, I would =) [02:35] Flynsarmy, then add the new line to the end [02:35] i want to install text-based browser elinks (i think) and all its dependencies, but cant remember the flag to do the dependencies,,, [02:35] gaintsura: understood. [02:35] lockd: Some of it is, apparently--http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258484&highlight=grub+resolution has a table which lets you choose a resolution [02:35] arghh, anyone else having awn give them focus restoring issues with dual monitors? [02:36] Flynsarmy, crontab -r // for reset crontab [02:36] nope did initially but figured it out [02:36] whats venkman ? [02:36] Flynsarmy, nex do this crontab file.txt [02:36] no problems with dual monitors any more [02:36] mib_b6hjoi: and then you don't want the Desktop Manager to start, correct? [02:36] it worked fine until the update today and now it is being a piece of junk [02:37] switched from solaris 10 x86 and have not had a problem since [02:37] anybody noticed in the last kernel upgrade, appears a lot of issues w/ pulse audio got worked out [02:37] IndyGunFreak: what kernel? [02:37] Flynsarmy, what do you want to do with cron? [02:37] I click the icon of the app and it doesn't come into focus unless it is on the primary [02:37] helo [02:37] hi [02:37] gaintsura: -19 i do believe.. [02:37] i upgrade it this morning [02:37] indraaaaaaa [02:37] lockd: Yes. Basically the same as Ctrl-Alt-F1, login, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [02:37] anyone use enlightenment regularly [02:37] yeah, actually I noticed when I close amarok it now stops it from playing [02:37] ? [02:38] Can someone help me set up my ubuntu pc to allow windows pc's to remote desktop in??? [02:38] nah too much customization with enlight [02:38] rather use something that works out of the box === mgregson1 is now known as mgregsond [02:38] gaintsura: most of my probs, related to flash.. if i play a flash video, it would cut out all other sounds.. [02:38] ahh [02:38] todd: Try looking into VNC. [02:38] IndyGunFreak: I have that problem, how did you fix it? [02:39] todd: you'll probably have to open a port in your router [02:39] mb: I did but the google/ubuntu docs did not work [02:39] Keith12125: it seems like th ekernel upgrade this morning fixed it. [02:39] todd, System => Preferences => Remote Desktop [02:39] IndyGunFreak: lol I still havn't restarted [02:39] varak_: win to win works same router [02:39] Keith12125: ..lol. [02:39] well [02:39] todd, Enable that then get the tightvnc viewer for Windows. [02:39] Ahadiel: did that did not work [02:40] Keith12125: like i said, thus far, it appears its resolved. [02:40] todd, Why not? [02:40] hahahaha [02:40] hahhahahah [02:40] Ahadiel: No I want to enable a PC to "remote desktop", not "tight vnc" [02:40] mib_b6hjoi: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/ch10s06.html [02:41] lockd: thanks [02:41] an someone help me set up my ubuntu pc to allow windows pc's to remote desktop in??? [02:41] hi [02:41] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYmADPVEqU4 [02:42] todd, First of all, VNC IS remote desktop. [02:42] greeg: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy. Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic? [02:42] I thought VNC stood for virtual network computing :P [02:42] mib_b6hjoi: that'll let you disable GDM, then you just have to add vga=[option] to the kernel [02:42] omg... help me turn off system beep *kicks it* its disabled and still beeping [02:43] and VNC is like Remote Desktop :) [02:43] Ahadiel: OK, so how do I set up my VNC so windows remote desktop can connect? [02:43] lockd: Where do I find those VGA options for my specific resolution (1024x600)? [02:43] todd: You download a VNC client to connect to your VNC server... it's not REMOTE DESKTOP [02:43] Hello! Whats up! :) Que pasa amigo! [02:43] todd, I just told you before. [02:43] gaintsura: sudo modprobe -r pcspkr [02:44] Thanks a lot! Appreciate all who helped! :) Cheers! [02:44] thanks jameslr =) [02:44] Ahadiel: ok, how do I do it? windows remote desktop does not seem to connect, is there some config I need to do? [02:44] system beep reminds me of a dialup modem [02:44] something else please ... can i play games of windows in linux .. i mean games like fifa , assassins creed , grand theft auto etc ... ??? [02:45] Is ther a ubuntu website manager here? [02:45] gaintsura: to disable it permanently edit your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file to include a line that says "blacklist pcspkr" [02:45] lakis1982: maybe. look up WINE === iyank4 is now known as himura [02:45] i ahve some folders in a local disk [02:45] lakis1982: via wine yes [02:45] I need soeone to remove my profile,, I've forgotten my pass and my email has changed [02:45] how do i place their shortcuts on desktop? === himura is now known as iyank4 [02:45] ljl? [02:45] mib_b6hjoi: not sure if there is a mode for that [02:45] clintchance, you mean on launchpad.net? [02:45] shingen: OK, what is the server I need that is "windows remote desktop"? [02:45] clintchance which profile? [02:46] IdleOne Ubuntu Forums [02:46] clintchance try in #ubuntuforums [02:46] LOL [02:46] todd: what machine are you trying to remotely control and what OS? [02:46] ubuntu has an irc for everything [02:46] shingen: you're not going to be able to use the RDP protocol in linux I don't think. VNC is pretty much your only option [02:46] thanks again jameslr [02:46] mib_b6hjoi: you could try 1024x768 and if not go back to 800x600 [02:46] todd, Get TIGHTVNC VIEWER [02:46] I have to go now. Be right back. like whenever i am free. Ya, soo a ok. This is a custompized message, that is why it is so long. I will see You later. On irc. Hopefully. [02:46] gaintsura: sure thing [02:47] why is it that the backward and forward buttons only work in firefox and not in the gnome/nautilus or anywhere else in the system? [02:47] anyone know of a guide/ tutorial for setting up iptables/firestarter I've just disabled it because I have so many problems with it [02:47] jameslr: true, you cannot run RDP on *nix, that's for sure [02:47] shingen: I am trying to allow a WinXP machine "I dont control" to connect to my Ubuntu8 pc [02:47] and i mean for the mouse [02:47] lockd: This is a subnotebook with a ~9" screen--I don't think it can take a 1024x768 resolution [02:47] mib_b6hjoi: those you can find by searching for "grub vga table" [02:47] shingen: so use the correct verbage. You don't want to remote desktop to a linux machine. You want to VNC to a linux machine from Windows. [02:47] todd: you'll need to install a vnc client on the windowsxp machine [02:48] mody_home [02:48] gaintsura, the iptables tutoria is so good http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html [02:48] thanks Stage3 [02:48] jameslr: so what did I say? :P [02:48] is iptables truly hardware firewall [02:48] IdleOne on one will answer [02:48] klikz: not really [02:49] lockd: OK, 1024x600 doesn't seem to be supported. Anything else just looks distorted. [02:49] mib_b6hjoi: I just use maximized terminal in X [02:49] clintchance, patience is a virtue [02:49] shingen: OK, they have "Windows Remote Desktop" installed, thats all I can get though, the ubuntu side is wide open though [02:49] shingen: I think I started talking to the wrong person lol [02:49] klikz: iptables isn't a hardware firewall, just a damn good software one [02:49] lockd: I've seen something about a vesa-framebuffer--would that do it? [02:49] yes [02:49] agreed [02:49] shingen: I think I was directing toward todd using your nick :/ [02:49] mib_b6hjoi: probably not [02:49] lockd: I'd use a maximized terminal in X, but I want to maximize my battery life for an extended amount of time where I won't have access to a charger [02:50] lockd: My battery is shot and gives me about 40 minutes battery life under GNOME [02:50] I'm going on a 12 hour plane trip [02:50] No plugs [02:50] You do the math :-) [02:50] jameslr: what? [02:50] anyone using ubuntu server in a production environment [02:50] todd: nothing :) [02:50] todd, RDP is a MS Windows service,,,,, not gonna happen on a linux box,,, windows box will have to use other client, as Ahadiel has been trying to tell you [02:50] todd: Ubuntu uses VNC for remote control. Enabling Windows XP's remote desktop won't do crap for you, if you want to remotely control the Ubuntu server. [02:51] why does the backward and forward button on the mouse only work in firefox and not nowhere else in the ubuntu system.. in 7.04 and 7.10 they didnt work at all now in hardy they only work for firefox is there a way to fix this? [02:51] mib_b6hjoi: how much time will it last without X running?

Welcome! [02:52] yeah i didnt think so [02:52] There is NO *nix RDP server... it's 100% microsoft proprietary [02:53] i have been shamed [02:53] actually citrix proprietary :) [02:53] shingen: OK then we are on differant pages, what do I have to install on ubuntu to allow a XP machine to "Windows Remote Destop" in? [02:53] shelbyscates: log the abuse and report it to his ISP === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:53] video card: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller [02:53] running Hardy [02:53] RDP is a Micro$oft service, in Windows,,,, no, "Remote Desktop Protocol", RPC, Remote procedure Call, None of that is gonna happen on a linux box [02:54] mib_b6hjoi: I know how annoying odd resolutions are, I have an Asus EEE [02:54] todd: remote desktop client on ubuntu to remotely control the XP machines [02:54] no os is bullet proof as we all no the only os that is is one not connected to anything [02:54] todd: gnome-rdp [02:54] lockd: this thing is a fujitsu lifebook p1510d with bizarre drivers [02:54] mib_b6hjoi: which is less than 800x600 [02:54] shingen no the reverse [02:54] anyone here use avidemux? [02:54] lockd: even worse than 1024x600! :-) [02:54] todd: do you understand the concept of client-server architecture? [02:55] todd, nor any of the dependencies that any of those services need, just have the windows boxes get the client that Ahadiel has been telling you [02:55] re RDP: http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/ [02:55] which kernel are you guys using "generic or rt"? [02:55] shingen: yes, I want an XP client, and a ubuntu server [02:55] todd: you have a server hosting stuff (e.g. web server) and you have a client that browses the content. [02:55] generic [02:55] new hardy [02:55] todd: you don't understand the concept of client / server relationships... XP can be a server and a client at the same time :P [02:55] I know this is not the channel for it, but I am a damn good chef, best stir fry in the world [02:56] todd: the OS doesn't matter, it's who is serving what [02:56] how can i add a ftp client to lampp? like i had in xampp? [02:56] shingen: no I get that, I dont understand why ubuntu does not have a "windows remote desktop" server [02:56] todd: when you're running RDP on your windows XP box, you're running an RDP SERVICE, for clients to connnect TO [02:56] todd: because bill gates is a greedy sonuvabitch and he won't license the technology out :P [02:56] todd, Because RDP is lame and you should use VNC instead. [02:56] shingen, but does that go both ways, he wants xp box to control a linux box?, not the other way? [02:56] is there a webpage where I can read on that? [02:56] Sn3ipen: there's a number of ftp servers you can install, but: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html [02:56] todd: because "ubuntu" would have to reverse engineer the RDP protocol to create said service... [02:56] todd, because bill gates is a cheap tight arse and does not like to share [02:57] shingen: no I want my XP box to connect to the ubuntu server, you have it backwards [02:57] SeaPhor: I have no idea what he wants because he doesn't quite understand client / server relationships :P [02:57] Flannel: Thanks il try that [02:57] shingen, yes, i'm with you there [02:57] todd, I believe YOU have it backwards sir. [02:57] todd: You have two choices... install VNC Client on XP... or isntall RDP client on Ubuntu [02:57] shingen: so there is no RDP server in ubuntu, I mean that has been around a while??? [02:57] todd: do both and you won't be hurting :P [02:58] I using vmware [02:58] todd: No, there is no RDP server for ubuntu, blame bill gates [02:58] and i create virtual mashines [02:58] Bill Gates doesn't work for MS anymore does he? [02:58] he's chairman of the board [02:58] shingen: OK what does the windows box need to connect??? [02:59] OMG" [02:59] shingen: this sucks! [02:59] todd: You have two choices... install VNC Client on XP... or install RDP client on Ubuntu [02:59] todd, there probably never will be RDP server in Ubuntu or any other distro. RDP is owned by Microsoft and they will not open the source code [02:59] IdleOne: http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/ [02:59] rdp on ubuntu [02:59] works for me at work [02:59] shingen: you got a url for vnc client??? [02:59] well heck [02:59] IdleOne, shingen, todd... Play nicely :-) [02:59] Anything can be reverse engineered [02:59] todd, Just google "tightvnc viewer" [02:59] todd: Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-server [03:00] mib_b6hjoi, yes but is it legal? [03:00] I finally have working FTP,,, yea me, lol [03:00] www.ultravnc.com is the client I prefer [03:00] I prefer: ssh [03:00] me to [03:00] it also allows you to use windows domain groups when you install the server/client software on 100% windows machines [03:00] mib_b6hjoi: Black-box reverse engineering is legal. I haven't looked into what this is--just a quick Google search [03:00] yeah ssh is king [03:00] I prefer rshell :P [03:00] ok what is xrdp??? [03:00] hahaha [03:01] Hardy or Gutsy, whcih is better [03:01] SSH > VNC >> RDP [03:01] shingen: you sad sad man [03:01] encripted network login [03:01] that's for controlling a windows box from *nix [03:02] you can install ssh on windoze using cygwin [03:02] theres TIGHTVNC VIEWER [03:02] shingen: its not a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop and Microsoft's own terminal server / remote desktop clients??? [03:02] shingen: PuTTY [03:02] todd: NO [03:02] yes [03:02] todd: RDP is microsoft proprietary... Microsoft doesn't play well with *nix [03:02] when i using windows i usning putty [03:02] todd: RDP and VNC do not play together. [03:03] hrm i thought dist-upgrade upgraded to a newer version of the distro [03:03] for ssh [03:03] theres TIGHTVNC VIEWER for windows [03:03] shingen: could you take a look at http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/ caus thats what they are claiming...???? [03:03] mib_b6hjoi: that's a SSH client, I'm talking about hosting SSH services [03:03] !info xrdp [03:03] xrdp (source: xrdp): Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.0~dfsg-3 (hardy), package size 193 kB, installed size 688 kB [03:03] it's in the repos also [03:03] todd, have you looked at TIGHTVNC VIEWER for windows [03:03] todd: no they're not, they're saying for you to download a windows VNC viewer... tightvnc client or ultravnc client will work just fine [03:03] shingen: Oh, OK [03:04] shingen: ok checking out ightvnc, but that sucks [03:04] todd: that's what's available for controlling *nix boxes [03:04] IdleOne, nice!, good to know ;-) [03:04] todd: why are you so hung up on the terminal service client? [03:05] todd: would you use a fork to eat soup as well as salad? [03:05] jameslr: cause the XP boxes are not my boxes, I can ask, but they can say no thanks, its a hard sell [03:05] todd: VNC does everything RDP does except for sound [03:05] todd: then linux is not the correct solution. Use a windows server [03:06] is there an easy way to stop ffox & flash 'locking up' the sound card? [03:06] I still ahve a problem with volume softkeys controlling the microphone volume instead of the main output volume. Ideas? [03:06] do not forget to suggest FreeNx [03:06] shingen, what he needs is a way to connect to the windows box without having the admin of the windows box having to do anything [03:06] amenado: still has the problem of having to install something on the windows box [03:06] Java-based VNC. [03:06] IdleOne: heh, then he needs sudo apt-get install gnome-rdp :P [03:06] Easy as pie. (Well, as Apache+VNC+Java, but you get the idea.) [03:07] jameslr: not the correct solution to access an ubuntu box? OK how do I get all of the ubuntu apps to run in windows??? [03:07] vmware? === edcrypt is now known as edcrypt_ [03:07] todd: virtualization [03:07] todd: What do you need from Ubuntu that you can't run in Windows? [03:07] todd, lmfao are you serious? [03:07] mib_b6hjoi: don't need apache installed or java installed on the vnc server.. just need vnc server :) [03:07] mib_b6hjoi: pie != apache+vnc+java :P [03:08] todd: SSH to your Ubuntu box. [03:08] :) [03:08] jameslr: and windows is just as secure, and has good support for developing apps, etc??? lol be real [03:08] todd, i do understand where you are at,,, and if i understand you,,, you want to build a server to translate all the windows boxes (customers) to talk to 1 linux box,(yours) but what program or service do they really need to talk to? [03:08] asmo[B]: Well, as far as I'm concerned, pie = 3.14159... [03:08] :-) [03:08] ;) [03:08] shingen: Oh yeah, d'oh [03:08] todd: besides virtualization, there's andLinux http://www.andlinux.org/ [03:08] I think I'm going to pass trying to explain how to setup xwindows via cygwin :P [03:09] todd: you're wanting to run linux apps on windows with ONLY WINDOWS apps installed... [03:09] anyone know where to find coolsat firmware for free tv? [03:09] The lastest ubuntu update with firefox 3 broken my java plugin? It keeps loading but doesn't work. [03:09] ough well, maybe one day linux will support new emerging technologies like remote desktop, how does that sound, do you think my coustomers will buy it and install vnc??? [03:09] unavailable: google.com [03:10] lol [03:10] todd: your best option is to convince them to install a VNC client on the client workstations if it's that critical [03:10] :P [03:10] !xming [03:10] Factoid xming not found [03:10] todd: what are your customers? [03:10] Hmm [03:10] todd, i'm on your side here and trying to help [03:11] ough well, I will try the pitch, but I hope I dont go bankrupt out of the deal [03:11] I don't think anyone is against todd... [03:11] ... [03:11] todd: um, what? [03:11] todd: xming is a windows app that lets you run X apps from a remote box [03:11] bah, left [03:11] So... I'm updating the kernels right now... quick question.. will I lose all my modules? [03:11] I think todd has issues worse than his computer issues [03:11] thank god [03:11] <`Tanner> Does anyone know a good visual basic channel? on or off of this IRC network?

[03:36] oh it just means sudo, gaintsura, wow I'm dumb [03:36] erpo click on virtualbox [03:36] Matthew: =) no worries [03:36] 2.6.24-18-generic [03:37] !firefox [03:37] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins [03:37] erpo go to the package menu and click configure [03:37] !iceweasel [03:37] Attention: Where can I download 7.04 from? its not an option on ubuntu.com [03:37] Iceweasel's homepage is http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ with more detailed information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceweasel [03:37] witakr: run the upgrade manager, upgrade to the -19 kernel, it SHOULD fix it [03:37] erpo enter your password [03:37] witakr: okay, do what gaintsura proposes [03:37] um, help? [03:37] thanks glitsj16 [03:37] ^_^ [03:37] erpo and continue through the dialog [03:37] :/Where can I download 7.04 from? its not an option on ubuntu.com [03:37] guardia-: cdimages.ubuntu.com [03:37] thanks [03:37] gaintsura: your welcome [03:38] my UM has be doing A LOT A LOT A LOT of upgrading the last several weeks after upgrading to the new ub [03:38] erpo make sure the box is ticked that says "compile kernel module" [03:38] guardia-: or releases.ubuntu.com [03:38] witakr: I usually spend about 6 hours a week upgrading [03:38] erpo will take a min but will work [03:38] ew. [03:38] sorry wrong chan [03:39] Talk about random. :-) [03:39] ... [03:39] yell0w_, where can i get the CD version? I don't want the 4 GB DVD ver [03:39] lol [03:39] does that happen often/ [03:39] witakr: things seem only to speed up .. keep upgrading if that's what the UM suggests [03:39] ? [03:39] unavailable: update-manager automatically updated my kernel and now virtualbox doesn't work. I don't understand how will filtering by status in synaptic help me with that? [03:39] s/understand/understand;/ [03:39] no [03:39] righty [03:39] unavailable: Ok. I've clicked the status button in synaptic. Now what? [03:39] click installed [03:39] W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_universe_binary-i386_Packages) [03:39] i got that error [03:39] guardia-: it's somewhere in the cdimages link [03:39] erpo click installed [03:39] in UM [03:39] guardia-: or if you prefer somehwer closer to you [03:39] erpo then find virtualbox in that list [03:40] anyway, i have a problem with gnome-keyring on my gutsy box. It's asking for a password, which is not my user password, and afaik, i don't have any other passwords on this box. [03:40] erpo: did you miss what I said? [03:40] i have no idea what to download here [03:40] erpo: when you re-run virtualbox it will come up telling you that the kernel has changed and to run a command [03:40] i just want 7.04 like i used to be able to download from ubuntu.com [03:40] erpo once you find it highlight it [03:40] it was like 699 mb [03:40] erpo and go to the package menu, and click configure [03:40] guardia-: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors , pick a mirror, pick the version, dl [03:40] thanks [03:40] the net effect of this is that i can't add new wifi networks. this is annoying. [03:40] jrib: Yes, I did. Thanks for the pointer! [03:40] witakr: you can correct that by manually editing the file mentioned, have you experience in doing that from terminal ? [03:41] what are hcitools? [03:41] with gedi [03:41] is [03:41] ? [03:41] gedit [03:41] yes with gedit [03:41] can anyone help me with this, or point me in a good direction? [03:41] Can I somehow in linux restart and have all my currently open windows be opened again when i log back in ? [03:41] (im on ubuntu) [03:41] witakr: yes gedit will do just fine, but it will need root permissions in this case [03:41] Wootie: what open windows ? [03:41] Wootie: see sessions under preferences [03:41] i see a forum post on ubuntu trying to answer some questions about installing a bluetooth usb adapter and the response is to use hciconfig run hcitools scan, etc... but I have no idea wtf hcitools is [03:41] erpo basically every time you update your linux kernel, (because virtual box runs off of a specific kernel) you need to recompile the module [03:42] ubuntu 8.04. I recently have failure of Software Sources configuration failing to load, how do I fix this? [03:42] thx [03:42] :D [03:43] please? [03:43] To fully ugprade, please restart lol [03:43] erpo you get it done? [03:43] witakr: if you need some guidance, ask away .. look for that duplicate line, comment one out by putting # in front of it and save the file, that should fix it [03:43] unavailable: Ok. I'm on the configuration screen. [03:43] click next [03:44] unavailable: When I select configure from the Package menu, the status bar changes to "Starting package configuration tool..." and then nothing new happens. [03:44] Due to kernel updates... my modules are currently not working. I was wondering... if there's a way of importing them from an old kernel to the new one? [03:44] I don't think it's going to be that fast to have a deb package for Firefox, but I might be wrong. Is there one? [03:44] afallenhope: Which module? [03:44] erpo it doesnt ask for your password? [03:44] eureka: Firefox 3 is in the repos, yes. Btu some mirrors are slower than others. [03:44] well the find feature for gedit is taking forever [03:44] erpo: umm my b43 and my rt73 as well as my webcam one [03:44] Is anyone having a problem with their screen flickering black really quick sometimes in GTK apps, like firefox? [03:44] eureka: the release is the same as RC3 [03:44] so no idea on what hcitools is? [03:44] morning [03:44] I disabled the X Damage extension, which fixes it [03:45] afallenhope erpo you have to recompile certian modules when you update the kernel [03:45] if I turn it on, it starts flickering. [03:45] afallenhope: i'm afraid you will have to rebuild those with the new kernel [03:45] erpo so still nothing? [03:45] This started happening like a week ago, when i let ubuntu do a bunch of updates and i put in another 2 gigs of ram [03:45] please, i would really like a hand with this keyring issue. Or a shove in the right direction, that would work too. [03:45] why do people do everything at the same time ;) [03:45] #kubuntu-kde4 [03:45] join [03:46] Hi [03:46] join #kubuntu [03:46] erpo ? [03:46] is there a way of ignoring kernel updates unless they're security updates. [03:46] Does this mean I can upgrade my Firefox to 3.0 using apt-get after the updates the repos? [03:46] cant find that line in that file [03:46] someone should make a script that detects kernel reliant modules and recompiles them after a kernel upgrade [03:47] .. [03:47] ok so i installed ubuntu onto my external hard drive, but when i try to boot off my hard drive it says no partition exists? [03:47] unavailable: I agree 100% [03:47] unavailable: that would be really useful. [03:47] witakr: could you copy/paste your file to paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url, we can take a look [03:47] elspeth: `/usr/lib/libpam-keyring/pam-keyring-tool -c` should allow you to set a new keyring passwrd [03:47] afallenhope: Are those in the mainline kernel? [03:47] unavailable: thats a great idea, but thats a lot of modules [03:47] but i made a small partition for ubuntu? i left the rest for devs/sda or whatever... [03:47] Is there a way to stop compiz w/o losing my pref's? [03:47] ha!.... ok... sure [03:47] eureka: Yes. And if your mirror doesn't have it yet, it should in a day or two. [03:47] using sudo aptitude upgrade && aptitude dist-update it automatically upgraded firefox 3 today.. [03:47] erpo: dunno. I just made them myself. lol. well the b43 is the b43 driver.. I just recompiled it [03:48] ill ask the guys at #linux [03:48] so it should work [03:48] shazzam, you may have to edit bios to boot from external [03:48] by doin what/ [03:48] afallenhope: See if you can get them from packages in the repos. Then they'll be updated when your kernel updates. Compiling your own kernel modules is a recipe for disaster. [03:48] Fatman still here? [03:48] Drk_Guy: metacity --replace ? [03:48] Flannel: getting command not found [03:48] elspeth: What version of ubuntu are you using? [03:48] i selected hard drive and selected my external and then it said ubuntu 8.o04 as one of the selections but then it gives error [03:49] shazzam, join #SeaPhor easier there [03:49] hi === Aaron is now known as TiMiDo [03:49] Flannel: 7.10 [03:49] erpo: no it's not... I compiled them and they work 100% betterthan the originals [03:49] Who helped fatman on the stupid photobucket DNS issue? [03:49] elspeth: Hmm, install the libpam-keyring package [03:49] afallenhope: Yeah, but you have to do it all over again each time you update your kernel. That's what I mean. [03:50] erpo: that reminds me of back in the day when packages for supported distros were few and far between [03:50] okay [03:50] Flannel: hrm, get libpam-gnome-keyring already newest version [03:50] rebooting them [03:50] then* [03:50] Flannel: when i do apt-get install libpam-keyring [03:52] ok affellenhope erpo i found out that gentoo does exactly that === qmr is now known as Quintin [03:52] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.24-19-rt_2.6.24-19.33_i386.deb: failed in buffer_write(fd) (10, ret=-1) [03:52] ^ what gives?? [03:53] Flannel: looking at /usr/lib, there doesn't appear to be anything resembling that either, except gnome-keyring, and all that's got in it is gnome-keyring-ask, not pam-keyring-tool [03:53] afallenhope: Going to use the old kernel? [03:53] I'm out, goodnight all [03:53] affellenhope erpo gentoo keeps a list of all your installed modules and recompiles them when you update your kernel [03:53] elspeth: Right, its not there on newer versions. Check out either admin or preferences menus for a "keyring manager" [03:53] according to photobucket's site, they got hacked, and in order to see photobucket again you need to in windows type in ipconfig /flushdns, is there a way to flush the dns in linux? [03:54] gaintsura: goodnight, see you around [03:54] unavailable: maybe you should find said script and see if you can port it? ^_^ [03:54] see ya glitsj16 [03:54] what's a good graphics program for Ubuntu? [03:54] edoram32mb: "graphics"?? [03:54] Flannel: do you know where I can download the deb for Firefox and I will install it with dpkg? [03:54] edoram32mb: gimp/gimpshop [03:54] edoram32mb, gimp [03:54] RabidWeezle: i dont think it actually caches properly [03:54] flannel: system->administration gives me keyring-manager, but it asks for a password [03:54] the file is too big to paste in to the pastebin [03:54] thanks [03:54] Flannel: which is not my user password, and i don't have a clue what it could possibly be. [03:54] elspeth: That'll be your sudo password [03:54] Flannel: that's what i thought - it isn't, though. [03:55] KyleK, basically, my inlaw's visited photobucket when it was being hacked, and they can't access it now [03:55] witakr: hehe, no problem, can i pm you and try an alternative route ? [03:55] ah [03:55] elspeth: Hmmm, start a gnome terminal, and ... sudo something. Does your password work? [03:55] sure [03:55] Flannel: yep, sudo works fine [03:55] KyleK, the dns needs to be flushed [03:55] And I have no idea how to do that [03:55] What address can I enter into wget in order to download Firefox 3? Downloading the file with Firefox isn't working out for me [03:55] in linux that is [03:55] !ff3 | AeronTG [03:55] AeronTG: Firefox 3 Final is currently mirroring to the package repositories. Please be patient. For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. [03:56] Flannel: i think that perhaps my sudo password and keyring password have been unsync'd - and i don't know the keyring password [03:56] if anyone here can help me to get proftpd up and running ...I followed the tutorial here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 with negative results [03:56] elspeth: Well, they need not be the same. But I'm not too familiar with the keyring stuff, so unfortunately I can't help any more. [03:56] Flannel: thanks. do you know of someone I can ask for further info? [03:57] RabidWeezle: i think at most restarting firefox, are we talking like www.photobucket.com here? [03:57] elspeth: Not really, no. Just ask the channel, and google around while you wait. [03:57] Flannel: rightio. :) [03:57] elspeth: Finding out how to reset the keyring password can't be too difficult I wouldn't think [03:57] RabidWeezle: change the dns server they're using [03:57] KyleK, this post explains it all [03:57] http://forums.photobucket.com/showthread.php?t=25300 [03:57] Flannel: i've found a lot of methods, all reliant on knowing the keyring password. [03:58] basically, they got hacked by some turkish hackers... [03:58] i REMEMBER reading something about a bootable cd that would overwrite a hard drive a certain number of times...IE if you are giving your computer away [03:58] and screwed up their dns... [03:58] now they are back up... [03:58] what is the name of such a thing?

[03:59] KyleK, I rebooted the pc...

[04:02] Millertime_018: Just let update manager do its thing [04:02] QAH, compiling is something else, download src, sudo apt-get build-dep , cd to src dir, ./onfigure, make, sudo make install [04:02] it didn't put it in though [04:02] how would one determine what their usb host controller is?

[04:05] Millertime_018: Probably best to just wait. You could just download it off of the firefox website and install it like not part of your distribution, but it'll get you a few days usage of the final release before it hits the official repositories, and you've already got a release candidate. I plan to just wait. [04:05] ctrl + alt + backspace will also restart the x-server [04:05] Beta 5 kind of sucked, and hardy was there for a while. The RC's have been pretty good.

I'd just run the previous release for as long as possible. Or you could start sending in bug reports, and even submit patches. But it's easiest to stick with what works. [04:09] anybody can help me to fix the problem [04:09] a strange noise when I saw videos [04:09] i got an error when i install build-essential. it says, build-essential depends on libc6-dev | libc-dev; however: [04:09] Package libc6-dev is not installed.

[04:11] witakr: yes, check your settings in 'software sources' and check whether the secure updates box is ticked [04:11] gun_smoke ur a dick. [04:11] buh bye [04:11] nigger [04:11] Gun_Smoke: You said 'this release.' Did you have a previous release working, or another distribution? [04:11] witakr: i'm on xubuntu and the menu items probably don't match, i guess somewhere in system > admin > software sources [04:12] yeah, i go it [04:12] bye Chronic [04:12] erpo: only temporarily so you can install the specific package you want, don't do an upgrade [04:12] afabian, most have been better than this..

[04:14] Gun_Smoke: I get the general feeling that Ubuntu values their time-based release schedule pretty highly, perhaps at the expense of release quality. I don't really plan to do any more upgrades at release date.

[04:21] or anytime time of production environment [04:21] Opera doesn't like to show all hte images in a page? [04:21] Gun_Smoke: It's tricky. Debian has the "when it's ready" policy, and resulting release cycle left open a huge spot for a distribution like Ubuntu. I think time-based releases are important, because users use releases, it creates a sense of urgency to fix show-stopper bugs, etc. I've thought a lot about this--I think time-based releases and sticking very close to the schedule are the way to go, even if it's a little painful. [04:21] It's weird [04:21] klikz: yes. === kat is now known as Guest93640 [04:22] afabian, That is a good point...... [04:22] hey guys [04:22] is there anyone here with experience with ubuntu as a media server? (especially with 1080p tv's) [04:22] apollo2011, ff is there. [04:23] Hi I have a Gateway C140XL with ATI mobility radeon 2300 HD and I was trying to install Kubuntu KDE4 remix and the CD loads and everything... it even shows me the text right before it tries to start X but then nothing happens.. what could be wrong and how do I fix it? [04:23] please don't ask [04:23] jrib: Can't I instruct the package manager to only fetch that one package from the repository? [04:23] erpo: yes [04:23] erpo, yes aptitude works wonders [04:23] erpo: sudo apt-get install PACKAGE_NAME is one way [04:24] I have just setup a webserer on 8.04 that hosts Clutch. I can access it perfectly on my LAN, but I cannot access it using my external IP Address. I have set up apache serers before and accessed them externally, just not with this new 2wire router I have. The port forwarding seems to be set up right, but its not working. Is it possible the default settings on apache are bloking the connections from the external ip address? [04:24] erpo, what jrib said is slick too [04:24] jrib: What I mean is, it should only ever fetch that one package from that repo, so I can leave it enabled during updates. [04:25] so i upgraded ubuntu [04:25] and now it wont boot [04:25] i get to the grub screen [04:25] erpo, You want a package manager to only handle a single package? Per repo? === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [04:25] flouge: any errors from grub ? === jordan_ is now known as Jordan_U [04:27] erpo: You can do that with apt-pinning, but it'll get hairy quick [04:27] apollo2011-> do you have set your server as the dmz host? [04:28] erpo, that's what I was about to say..... Pinning with backports is practiced... But you should be ready for problems... [04:28] i get selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by bios [04:28] I have a server that has two NICs, one is input for the internet, one goes to the LAN. The LAN (eth0) works fine including dhcp. How do I configure eth1 to get internet? [04:29] Hey guys. I'm using vlc to play dvd iso's off my media server but apparently on linux vlc doesn't use the video card acceleration for dvd playback and my processor just can't keep up with the dvd at 1080p resolutions. Anyone have a better option with other software to store videos and play the back at 1080p resolution with video hardware acceleration? [04:29] hey, does Ubuntu have a package for the linux 2.6.25 kernel for hardy? [04:29] Colin_-> does your ISP provide you with static or dhcp doleout address ? [04:29] dhcp [04:29] Will k3b make a standard dvd out of an avi file? === boyam_ is now known as boyam [04:29] does anybody know of a command line program that will archive and separate in .rar files like winrar ? [04:29] kcormier, I don't think it's a processor.. [04:29] hi [04:29] :P [04:30] Scunizi: No. [04:30] flouge1: oops, not familiar with that one .. you were upgrading your kernel ? [04:30] !who | Colin [04:30] Colin: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:30] teamz: file-roller doesn't? [04:30] Scunizi: devede will do that. I don't know about k3b. [04:30] erpo: thanks. [04:30] tom_, I need a command line application [04:30] does ubuntu support audio over hdmi? [04:30] My eyes are tired... slow down with the junk please.... [04:30] !tab [04:30] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [04:30] teamz: you could just do tar + gzip and use the traditional UNIX utility "split" to split the file, and put it back together with cat. [04:31] Colin_-> set you eth0 to acquire the ip address from your ISP via your dsl modem [04:31] teamz: you can use file-roller in the terminal [04:31] amenado: just port 80 right now, I tried that earlier and it didn't help [04:31] hi guys [04:31] teamz: see file-roller --help [04:31] tom_, ok thx but as you said I'm unsure if file-roller support that [04:31] I'm pretty sure it does [04:31] just try it out [04:31] afabian, problem is I have a box with a newbie and he needs to archive his files remotely [04:31] any reason that ubuntu 8.04's nm-applet would not show wifi stuff anymore on the dropdown? [04:31] teamz: i think p7zip-full with p7zip-rar can handle those, p7zip contains 7za, a pure terminal tool [04:32] i still see my card in iwconfig [04:32] !tab amenado [04:32] Factoid tab amenado not found [04:32] glitsj16, k thx I'll give it a look [04:32] amenado: from what I am reading now, it appears that the problem may be that at&t blocks port 80. Is it possible to use a different port and still have it work when I use a domain from DynDNS? [04:32] how do you reply to someone [04:32] i dont get it [04:32] apollo2011-> you should allow Allow all applications (DMZplus mode) -- pointing to your server and then make sure you firewall is active and working on your server [04:32] is the 2.6.25 kernel in any of hardy's repos? [04:32] shit im going to have to upgrade the bios [04:32] Colin_, in what? [04:33] apollo2011-> it does not block port 80 [04:33] Quentusrex: It's more of a hardware issue. If your soundcard has digital out and it works, then you get an adapter to hdmi for it. Sometimes you can get a dvi-to-hdmi that also has a jack to plug in your digital audio from the computer as well. [04:33] Colin_-> you type the first few chars of my nick then press tab [04:33] flouge1: have you gone over your /boot/grub/menu.lst manually to check if there's something out of the ordinary ? === dmsuperman is now known as [dmsuperman] [04:34] amenado, ok gotcha.. eth0 is connected to my internal lan, eth1 is connected to my dsl modem... in my /etc/network/interfaces file eth0 is fine and is in fact giving giving out addresses to the rest of the network just fine, eth1 however doesn't even show up on a regular ifconfig [04:35] shadda [04:35] madda [04:35] flouge1: Be careful upgrading the BIOS. Don't, um, lose power in the middle. Heh. If the upgrade is decent, it won't let you use the wrong upgrade.. .but I wouldn't trust it to catch mistakes. Be very careful that you know that the BIOS upgrade is the right one before you try flashing. It's a mildly risky thing all around, and care is called for. [04:35] Colin_-> then fix your eth1 to make sure you can activate it, then also on same interfaces file, you can tell it to use dhcp to acquire ip from ISP [04:35] amenado, and it is set up simply like this iface eth1 inet dhcp [04:35] oops [04:35] anyone? [04:35] tom_, for? [04:35] Gun_Smoke: video plays fine if it's a small window but when i maximize it my processor jumps straight to 100% and the video gets choppy. It will play fine at lower resolutions. If I turn deinterlacing on it gets even worse. You said you don't think it's the processor, any other ideas? [04:36] is the 2.6.25 kernel in any of hardy's repos? [04:36] tom_: no [04:36] tom_: I don't think so [04:37] Colin_-> ifdown eth1; ifup eth1 as root off course [04:37] kcormier, I guess that the app is tripping on a codec. VLC is pretty bullet-proof. [04:37] this 2.6.24 is killing me with these crashes! [04:37] tom_: what crashes ? [04:37] tom_: You're sure it's the kernel? [04:37] i was making some changes and now all inactive windows fade transparent which i don't want. I can't where to correct this. Does anyone know how? Is there maybe a way that i can reset everything? [04:38] AutumnCat: My system is just constantly crashing. Especially in firefox. And yes I am pretty sure its the kernel [04:38] evening all [04:38] i have a question about usb 2.0 and ehci_hcd [04:38] tried using different browser, tried disabling all video stuff including drivers plus compiz [04:38] amenado, I'm doing this right now, and I've tried it before but it spits out some lines then it repeats this: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 [04:38] its either my wireless card or the kernel thats causing these crashes. [04:38] tom_ what messages in dmesg convince you that it is a kernel issue? [04:39] damnit the image is to big [04:39] for the bios to load [04:39] i was making some changes and now all inactive windows fade transparent which i don't want. I can't where to correct this. Does anyone know how? Is there maybe a way that i can reset everything? [04:39] amenado, then repeats to interval 12, interval 18, etc.. then it says No DHCPOFFERS received, No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. [04:39] harriseldon: dmesg? none. I checked the system logs though and nothing shows, thats the weird part [04:39] schmitty: seems like your window manager got stuck, which one do you use ? [04:39] kcormier, even piping the movie over via ssh to this laptop keeps the processor at nill to nothing... [04:39] Gun_Smoke: Have you run it at 1920x1080 with blend deinterlacing before with anything comparable to an athlon 64 3000+? I love vlc, been using it for years. But apparently the mpeg4 decoder will only run on a single core (doesn't matter much for me as i've only got one) and that it won't use the video acceleration in anything but windows. [04:39] im using kubuntu glitsj16 [04:39] i just got a new external HD.. usb 2.0. ubuntu don't like it. i did some googling and found the "modprobe -r ehci_hcd" hack and it works === QuixoticJ is now known as Quixotic [04:40] tom_ kernel errors will traditionally be written to that log. I am not convinced that 2.6.25 kernel will help you [04:40] i'm going to try rebooting with the acpi=noirq kernel option [04:40] but can someone explain to me what this is doing and why i have to do it? [04:40] tom_: 2.6.24 is pretty stable. I'd be pretty hesitant to finger the kernel as the problem. I'd probably try testing the memory. [04:40] Colin_-> your cat 5 cable to your router/dslmodem is faulty..find another good cable [04:40] harriseldon: I looked at some bug reports and it seems that many people are having problems with 2.6.24 [04:40] kcormier, amd64 here... nothing ever like you state [04:40] im pretty sure it's a setting that i have changed. I just need to change it back. i was trying to make windows transparent at one point but now it is taking too much system resources to do it so i want it of [04:40] afabian: downgrading to gusty makes my system run flawlessly [04:40] amenado, ok ill try it [04:41] schmitty: not in compiz by any chance ? [04:41] kcormier, so I can't give you a bone [04:41] Hello everyone! Is it possible to pull a harddrive out of a mac and access its files from ubuntu ? [04:41] glitsj16: how to i edit compiz's settings again? [04:41] how do i tell grub to use the old boot [04:41] tom_ you can always download vanilla sources and compile your own if you are convinced. Just be sure to keep grub entries for your old kernel just in case [04:41] Quixotic: The short answer is yes === jeje is now known as broy [04:42] tom_: Ah. Well, then.. 2.6.25 will probably never be in hardy. There are a few possibilities... I don't know how development is going, but you could manually fetch out a .deb from the repositories for the next ubuntu... there are also instructions around for compiling a kernel the "debian way" out there. [04:42] genii, does it get difficult or any tricks I should be aware of ? I was thinking dropping it in a usb enclosure and plugging it into my ubuntu install then hoping to mount it and copy the files to my desktop. [04:42] schmitty: if you have a backup of your compiz settings, you can try reinstalling the ccsm, that way it will fall back to the defaults [04:42] HELP!!! [04:42] harriseldon: I just tried downloading the sources, I've never really compiled my own kernel before though. Can you guys link me to some tutorials? [04:42] flougel hit escape when booting to enter the menu, then pick the version for your old kernel [04:42] where is the compiz config glitsj16 [04:42] afabian: is any kind of release of ibex out yet? [04:42] first time ubuntu user [04:43] kcormier, I look into either what else you have up and running while trying to launch VLC.. Look at everything.. Maybe thats a bug to file.. But here I've never seen or heard anything like it... Have you tried Mplayer? Still my favorite. [04:43] schmitty: menu items in kubuntu could be very different, but from terminal you could try ccsm [04:43] Quixotic: You will need the hsfutils and possibly hsfplus packages. The kernel module is called hsf [04:43] i can't install my acer 4520 wifi driver. [04:43] tom_: if you want to use a 1.6.25 kernel, you have to compile it yourself . [04:43] tom_: I don't think so. I'm just assuming there are .debs in the repository, but i actually don't know, because I've never tried anything like that with Ubuntu. [04:43] can anyone help me [04:43] tom_: just like me ;D [04:44] tom_ I used to compile my own kernel all of the time when I used gentoo. You can always look there. I would check the official Ubuntu docs first https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [04:44] AutumnCat: you are running on a 2.6.25 kernel? [04:44] Quixotic: Bah I'm dyslexic today. Reverse the s and f in most of that [04:44] tom_: yes [04:44] genii is there a tutorial somewhere on how to copy the files from the mac hdd to this linux box? I am trying to recover a friends quickbook files since his mac died and he needs them urgently. [04:44] trying to run ccsm from terminal tells me that it is not installed yet [04:44] trying to run ccsm from terminal tells me that it is not installed yet glitsj16 [04:44] Grub loader error 15 - what is this? [04:45] AutumnCat: Can you link me to a tutorial of some sort. harriseldon I checked that link before, it wasn't really a "how to" [04:45] darn.... gnomes problems or ubuntu... trash still won't empty via gui.... I know how to do it from cli.. but.. ummm.... [04:45] schmitty: there is another one that you might have, hang on, i'll look it up, don't know the exact package name [04:45] night all [04:45] tom_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile <--- [04:45] Gun_Smoke: I'll try reinstalling ubuntu 8.04 and setting it all up again. Maybe it's an issue with the ati driver or something... Do you think I should be able to run 1920x1080 video with an athlon xp 2900+? [04:45] amenado, hahah oh i'm sorry.. it wasn't the cable.. I actually have three network cards in the server and I just automatically assumed that it was eth1, when in fact it was eth2... sorry to trouble you, got it working now [04:45] genii, I found the hfsutils package in the package manager. With that I should be ok then ? [04:45] Quixotic-> mac uses hfs filesystem? so make sure your ubuntu supports that .. [04:46] Quixotic: Oldie but goodie and still relevent: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2005-January/019105.html [04:46] tom_: 2.6.24 to 2.6.25 is a minor upgrade. You'll want to make sure that you use the /boot/config-2.6.24-18-generic file as .config in your linux kernel source directory and then make config ... answer the new questions, pretty safe to just hold down the enter key and take the defaults. I'd try building it the "debian way" so that grub is automatically updated and things. [04:46] tom_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild <-- [04:46] AutumnCat: did you use git to download your sources or did you just download them straight off kernel.org? [04:46] ok [04:46] Gun_Smoke: Also, what kind of videos are you playing? do you know if they're mpeg4? [04:46] so, nobody has an answer to my usb 2.0 question? that makes me sad. [04:46] Colin_-> great..sometimes a wiggle of the cables, you'd discover important things :P [04:46] kcormier, I don't see why not.. and aXXo and crew have a bunch. [04:46] anachronist: what's wrong with usb 2.0? [04:47] what is a package i can get that is an irc client that runs in console? [04:47] glitsj16: should i install compiz? will that reset my settings [04:47] tom_: I download the tarballs and the patch files, because git is too slow here. [04:47] they all work just fine. [04:47] thanks genii and amendao, I will install hfsutils and give it a go. Wish me luck or my friend is going to cry in the morning when I tell him his quickbooks is lost forever. [04:47] anachronist: I've had little quirky things like USB mouse not even being detected, I was only able to fix it with an adapter [04:47] AutumnCat: With the patch files, what exactly are they? Are they only used if you need specific hardware support? [04:47] lockd, i'm having some trouble w/ my external hard drive. i can't get it to run in usb 2.0. i had to modprobe -r ehci_hcd to force it to run at 1.1. i found a kernel option that i'm going to try after i finish copying some files [04:47] schmitty: i thought you had that installed ? if not than it's caused by kubuntu's window manager, i don't know which one that is in a default kubuntu setup [04:47] Quixotic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=392287 may also be of some help [04:47] tom_: no [04:48] but i'm curious to know first, what the issue is, and second, what the acpi=noirq kernel option does [04:48] tom_: If you build a kernel the "debian way", you end up with a nice .deb file that installs just like one from the repositories. Just more work. heh. [04:48] afabian: yeah I know, I'm looking at that right now [04:48] tom_: I mean the "version patch" [04:48] glitsj16: no it's just the one that comes with the default kde install [04:48] anachronist-> Boot Arguments to Control PCI Bus Behaviour (`pci=') [04:49] anachronist: it says usb 2.0 is in kernel >= 2.5.2, amazing that it wouldn't work [04:49] tom_: linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2 + patch-2.6.25.6.bz2 = linux-2.6.25.6 [04:49] i just need to find the tab that i should go to to change it [04:49] well, i've found a LARGE number of people having similar problems, unfortunately [04:49] schmitty: ah okay, have you tried #kubuntu, they should be able to assist you easily i'd think, i just don't know sorry :) [04:49] how the hell am i going to recover this thing [04:49] AutumnCat: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.25.7.tar.bz2 [04:50] doesn't that already have the full source including the patch? [04:50] lockd, most people who have this problem (drive not mounting, etc.) just remove the module, which is horrible solution imho [04:50] tom_: yes, you can download this , too. [04:50] anachronist: I wouldn't be surprised if it never did work (2.5 was unstable, may never have made it in) [04:51] AutumnCat: ok cool. Well I am going to give it a shot. I'll tell you guys how it goes if I can get back on. [04:51] Thanks a lot [04:51] hello [04:51] flouge1: have you considered chroot'ing and reinstalling grub that way ? it's some work i realize that, but seems like something you can try before sledgehammering (i know how frustrating grub errors can be) [04:51] tom_: good luck! [04:52] anachronist: you have ohci and uhci included as well? [04:52] how do I force the restricted driver manager to appear? [04:52] tom_: the most frequent problem may be the display card driver . [04:52] I have to unplug my laptop when starting ubuntu 8.04... if its plugged it won't start and gives me an error, how can I solve this? [04:52] AutumnCat: what do you mean? [04:52] tom_: you need to install it manually. [04:52] lockd, no uchi, but ochi is in lsmod [04:53] err... uhci [04:53] i still don't get it right: installing build-essential [04:53] where in the kubuntu window manager can i set the transparency of inactive windows [04:53] anachronist: not sure, wonder what would happen if you said Y instead of M for EHCI HCD [04:53] AutumnCat: could I just use envy? [04:54] does anyone have a pleasing heart to help me [04:54] ? [04:54] anachronist: heh, that's not even an option [04:54] still_here: are you having issues with trying to figure out how to install build-essential? [04:54] lockd, well, i'm running off the generic kernel... maybe i should try to recompile my own and see if that helps. that's a good idea. [04:54] still_here: ill try my best :) [04:54] where is the kubuntu window manager config [04:54] !resolution [04:54] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[04:55] ok [04:55] anyone have raid5 hardware working from ubuntu 64bit installer cd [04:55] I have a complex question for you guys [04:55] tom_: since you used a non-ubuntu kernel, the ubuntu kernel module package would be unusable. [04:55] alan_m: are you there? [04:55] hehe [04:55] AutumnCat: so how did you install it? Right off Nvidia's website? [04:56] still_here: yes :) [04:56] I need a script to massively edit all the content of php files changeing all their code to lowercase [04:56] tom_: yes [04:56] pneo what error does it give? Have you searched online for the error?

Is there an official process for getting it to work again? Should it be the same as it was on FF2? [04:57] AutumnCat: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_debian_etch [04:57] that is the guide I am following [04:57] anachronist: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-40197.html, there's a workaround that I'm not sure will do anything (changing /sys stuffs) [04:57] what does it mean if a package is in source but not in packages?

[04:57] hehe [04:57] still_here: you can get it from the Ubuntu repositories on the computer that has the internet connection, make a cd of the packages you need (build-essential) then transfer. [04:57] Flannel: yeah [04:57] I've made some searches without any solution [04:57] lockd: that's the workaround i'm using now [04:58] i have flash drivehere [04:58] See what I was talking about with the contributing now still_here? :) [04:58] The error is this one: [04:58] SonicComKid: It's pretty easy to make a file all lower case.. say, with tr. But you'll probably have to do something to leave comments alone. It sounds like something you might want to consider writing up in perl. Actually, perl rubs me the wrong way. I'd probably use python even though perl arguably has a good edge in text processing. [04:58] why can't more than one program use alsa? i have firefox using alsa and pidgin and i can't hear sounds from pidgin [04:58] AutumnCat: and when I get up to the configuration of the kernel this is what happens http://paste.ubuntu.com/21070/ [04:58] tom_: you needn't extract the tarball into /usr/src [04:58] sound blaster live [04:58] alright. thanks... [04:58] Flannel (and others) can jump in when I dont have an answer for you still_here :) [04:58] AutumnCat: does it really matter though? [04:59] anachronist: didn't know that one disabled usb2 as well [04:59] ACPI: EC: acpi_ec_wait timeout, status=0, expect_event=1 [04:59] still_here: we havent really answered a question or truly guided you, stick around, flannel will explain the rest (I believe) [04:59] lockd: oh, wait. i see the other workaround. i'll try the sys one. [04:59] how do i change the install directory if there is no configure script for a program [04:59] so i have to search about repositories, right? [04:59] lockd: thanks for the help. [04:59] tom_: and make sure you have install the packages which compiling a kernel needs . [04:59] anybody got Flash running in Firefox 3...? [04:59] still_here: It's on there. pop in the CD, sudo apt-cdrom add, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-esential [04:59] SonicComKid: Also, there's the "be careful what you wish for" effect. I don't know PHP very well, but ... bad things mysteriously happen when you make global transformations in a thoughtless manner. I'd probably go through file-by-file and use something like emacs, or a text editor with a downcase function, to make lower-casing regions easy. [05:00] tom_: it shows in step 2. [05:00] Flannel: i'm using windows now [05:00] still_here: go to your Ubuntu install and do what flannel said to do, it should work right. [05:00] still_here: That's fine. When you get home to your Ubuntu install, just pop in the CD and install from that [05:00] Flannel: I have no cd here. i'm using flash drive. [05:01] still_here: You have your original CD you installed with at home, right? [05:01] yes [05:01] still_here: You don't need anything else. Just put that in, and build-esential is on there. [05:01] SkiddyFisk you can try to restart the dist upgrade via command line via sudo do-release-upgrade but it may not work. [05:01] how do you set the default sound card? [05:01] Flannel: alright. [05:01] Flannel: thanks man for chipping in :) [05:01] still_here: This is Hardy, correct? [05:01] glitsj16: i got now. It was in kcontrol [05:01] Flannel: yes [05:02] it didn't do anything x.x [05:02] still_here: Aye. Its on there (a few versions it didn't ship on the desktop CD, that's been fixed) [05:02] Skiddyu [05:02] SkiddyFisk any error? [05:02] Flannel: I wasnt aware of that, thats why i went the aptoncd route :) [05:02] how would I burn a DVD iso to a dvd? [05:02] in terminal* [05:02] Flannel: thanks, i'll try it out. [05:02] afabian, sorry, phone made it so I couldn't reply. The reason for this is I need to make the content of tons of php files lowercase because they keep referenceing files with uppercase letters. There's too many php files to manually edit to lower case. I need to chage the code to point to lower case filenames [05:02] schmitty: glad it's fixed [05:02] samba upgrade just came down hope it dont break :) [05:02] alan_m: Apt On CD unfortunately only works from an Ubuntu box for the time being [05:03] harriseldon, "no module named GnuPGInterface" [05:03] hello is there a ubuntu portable for flash drive? [05:03] AutumnCat: ok I'm in the menuconfig now, i already copied my configuration over to the new kernel. Is there anymore config I really need to do? [05:03] Flannel: is it possible to get the package from packages.ubuntu.com (I know im probably going the long route) and install that way from windows? [05:03] harriseldon, it lists like a traceback of some kind [05:04] * alan_m is just trying to get in a few different ways of doing this...shoot the idea down if its incorrect please. :) [05:04] if only the distro upgrade was a terminal app x.x [05:04] SonicComKid: If the filenames have a pretty regular pattern, you could use sed on them. Say, the filenames are all uppercase, and all have an extension.. you could do something like.. erm... [05:04] tom_: 1. make sure your config id based on the ubuntu one. [05:04] tom_: 2. you need to enable alsa [05:04] is back [05:04] Flannel: I mean download from windows and install on ubuntu, sorry for wording jumble. [05:04] after a long time [05:04] alan_m: Of course. Just download the debs from packages.ubuntu.com. The only problem is you have to resolve dependencies manually. A few years ago I saw a website that would do it for you (give you a big list of download links), but I don't know of any anymore. [05:05] hi Flannel [05:05] alan_m: Yeah, there's nothing wrong with sneakernet, except the lack of automation [05:05] tom_: you need to disable debug info, or your kernel will be very big. [05:05] Flannel: ok thanks buddy :) [05:05] SkiddyFisk look at this site http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/python/651096?page=last [05:05] Howdy arbir [05:05] i am good, how do you do Flannel ? [05:05] AutumnCat: doesnt my current kernel config probably have all that done? [05:05] Flannel: what are the other packages can i install from the ubuntu cd? [05:05] afabian, the problem is they're all over the place, some are labled Index.htm, other's somthing_or_OTHER, etc. which screwed everything up for me (was designed for a windows server) I mass renamed all the files to lowercase, now I need to fix the PHP scripts to point to lowercase filenames [05:05] hi guys.. is there anyone that can help me out with a problem. I'm trying to get diablo 2 working under wine, but not having much luck, and hoping someone here has gotten it working themselves [05:06] * alan_m pays Flannel in cookies from now on :) [05:06] still_here: Do you have a desktop (Live) CD or an alternate (textmode) CD? [05:06] ok how do i go about getting my dhcp server to distribute the internet as well? [05:06] tom_: wait for a minute. [05:06] winehq isnt much help at the moment [05:06] oh, i have no internet connection at home [05:06] harriseldon, looking [05:06] Flannel: how do i update to the latest VLC, i have tried backports, but my version of VLC wont move beyond 0.8.6e while the latest is 0.8.6h ? [05:06] cuz "alternate" pings me :\/w 22 [05:06] jadewolf I got it running, but I do not remember if I did anything special. [05:06] Flannel: I have no internet connection at home, so i would have to install the packages manually. [05:06] still_here: which cd do you have? you said you had one..did you get a Live cd burned or an Alternate install cd? (live cd always comes from shipit if you got it from there) [05:07] jadewolf what kind of error are you getting? [05:07] well, here's the prob. [05:07] hi [05:07] still_here: And the packages available depends on the CD you have, which is the only reason I ask [05:07] alan_m: it was shipped to me [05:07] Flannel: thats a live ;) [05:07] righto, I'll restart the post. I am trying to get Diablo 2 LOD working on hardy 8.04 32bit, using wine rc5, Nvidia Proprietry drivers and a 6200SE graphics card. The game has installed fine, and loads up, but as soon as the gamplay starts (in the town) the speed slows to a crawl, with the refresh rate seeming to jump. I have set diablo 2 to use ddraw 2d and also attempted direct3d hal. glxinfo reports direct rendering is enabled, [05:07] and using nvidia. All log outputs I can think of are here: http://pastebin.com/m1e362f3a if someone can please help me. I have gotten the same game working on a lower end system with ati fglrx and it runs smooth with no problems. [05:07] still_here: ah :) [05:07] hope that explains it :) [05:08] ok [05:08] still_here: so you have the live cd, theres our answer we were looking for :) [05:08] hey, anyone from ops around to see something fun? [05:08] my mount is lying to me =P [05:08] Hello everyone [05:08] Flannel: did you see my message , or it flew up too fast ? :-) [05:08] hi Ralphieeeeeeeeez [05:08] still_here: Alright, you have the desktop CD. There aren't a whole lot more packages you can install. The desktop CDs packages are mostly concerned with getting someone on the internet (to download the rest). But here's a listing of all the stuff on the CD, the .deb files would be the packages you have available: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.list [05:08] alan_m: so what should i do? [05:08] anyone know how i go about getting my dhcp server to distribute the internet as well? [05:08] tom_: Device Drivers -> Sound -> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture <-- enable anything you need in this branch [05:08] SonicComKid: Hmm. Well, there's a lot to it. I'd have to look at the PHP files and the changed files, and it'd probably take me half an hour to decide what approach I wanted to use. My best suggestion is ... use perl, keep backups of the files before you change them. [05:08] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mount | grep sda1 [05:08] /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type ntfs (rw,fmask=0111,dmask=0000) [05:09] AutumnCat: it has an on soundcard support [05:09] arbir: I did. Um, -backports won't have it because Intrepid doesn't have it. Intrepid has the same package version as Hardy currently. When was the newer version released? [05:09] man wireless is so shotty [05:09] i used apt to download and install what I *thought* was Firefox 3, everything completed, I restarted my browser, but when I look in the "about Mozilla Firefox" it says 2.0.0.6 [05:09] afabian, my solution is simple, this is just a one time run. I just need to chage the text in all the *.php files to lowercase [05:09] what gives? did i do something wrong? [05:09] tom_: enter the ALSA branch [05:09] AeronTG: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [05:09] hello [05:09] there must be a simple way to change the case of all text in files with the .php extention [05:09] AutumnCat: ok, should I put a or a ? [05:10] Flannel: i honestly don't know [05:10] sometimes it connects, most of the time it doesn't. Sometimes my friends wireless works great sometimes nothing [05:10] Flannel: the new package is two rungs ahead [05:10] anyone oput there [05:10] anyone out there?/// [05:10] AeronTG: Alright, lsb_release -a, what does it say? [05:10] !hi | dba [05:10] dba: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:10] harriseldon, are you able to help with the prob? or anyone else? [05:10] Flannel: we are at 0.8.6e while the latest is 0.8.6h [05:10] Ive got a virus infected windows computer, an old womans, and she OKed me to install Ubuntu! [05:10] But I need to know if there is an easy way to import all of her outlook contacts and emails into either evolution or thunderbird -- the only access to t he windows drive is through the ubuntu live cd. [05:10] tom_: http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/i7587.png <-- [05:10] thanks, any busines [05:10] Flannel, still_here, I hate to do this to you guys but I have to leave..... :/ [05:10] Flannel: 710 [05:10] oops, 710 [05:11] shit..7.10 [05:11] alan_m: thanks a lot... [05:11] tom_: "m" is prefered . [05:11] sed can change case, might have to use with grep and pipe, search on those tools [05:11] !attention need a team member too look at this: http://pastebin.com/d76b186b9 [05:11] xiaden: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:11] arbir: Right, and it looks like this version was grabbed in 2007, so, you'll have to ask someone who packages it why it hasn't been updated. They may have an explanation, or may be able to help. the MOTU is in charge of it, you can reach them in #ubuntu-motu [05:11] tom_: don't forget select your hardware driver. [05:11] i am getting a long delay right when i turn on my machine...when it says loading grub.. [05:11] Flannel: did you get that? :D [05:12] AutumnCat: hardware driver for what? [05:12] Is there an option to import contacts and the like while installing ubuntu or was that just to import a user? [05:12] !botabuse | xiaden [05:12] xiaden: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [05:12] Flannel: great, let me try MOTU [05:12] tom_: your sound card [05:12] Ralphieeeeeeeeez, this might help -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=100047 [05:12] is it posible to install ubuntu 8 in usb flash drive? [05:12] !usb | Kalamansi [05:12] Kalamansi: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:12] AeronTG: Firefox 3 won't be in Gutsy, it is, however, in Hardy. It is in gutsy backports too, if you wanted to grab the firefox-3.0 package (if thats what you thought you were getting, we can figure that out as well) [05:12] SonicComKid: All right. If that's what you really want to do, change ALL text to lower case.. that's trivial. Try something like: export DIR=dirwithPHPfiles ; for i in $( find $DIR \*.php ) ; do cat i | tr A-Z a-z > $i.lc ; mv $i $.bak ; mv $i.lc $i; done .. or *something* like that. Take this as a rough guide. Read manual pages. [05:12] tom_: an easy way is to select all drivers.

[05:13] Flannel: i have nothing to lose....is Hardy the "new" Ubuntu? if so, i'd like that, but don't know how to download and install that one...... [05:13] arbir: You may also want to, if you can't reach them, file a bug against the package asking for a newer version [05:13] anyone know what causing a 15 second delay when GRUB is loading?

[05:14] Flannel: right... i can [05:14] tom_: yes [05:14] AeronTG: It is. So we can either go through the backports, or you can upgrade to Hardy.

Use at your own risk, read manual pages, etc. But I think so. [05:15] tom_: It's time for my lunch, bye ~.

[05:17] dfgas: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, and then tell it you want gdm [05:17] xiaden: IIRC, mount gets its information from wtmp, which could theoretically be out of date. What problem are you having? [05:18] afabian, please just IM me your line again with the correction [05:18] afallenhope: clean gets rid of deb files in your package cache, remove uninstalls packages [05:18] afallenhope, man apt will give you a nice bit of reading to do [05:18] afabian, between phone and chat I can't make things clear enough [05:18] Bodsda: how about you don't rtfm me thanks..

[05:20] Hi guys, just booted from Hardy Heron live CD. I have 2 cdroms, when insert a blank one into the other cdrom nothing happens. The CDrom works fine in windows [05:20] put what in a sudo command? [05:20] AeronTG: This is just regular daily updates? or have you already started trying to move to hardy? [05:20] anyone know where I'm supposed to put that 'i'? [05:21] any ideas?

[05:21] o_O [05:21] still_here: Read The Fine Manual [05:21] afallenhope, i fail to see the connection between helpfully noting that the answer can be found in the documentation stored on your machine and rudely telling you to rtfm [05:21] Flannel: i am following that doc you gave me the link to :) the first thing it suggests doing is running "update manager" [05:21] Bodsda: lol [05:21] xiaden: You need to edit /etc/fstab and replace ntfs with ntfs-3g. [05:22] ;~) [05:22] AeronTG: Alright, so just regular updates. Yeah, go ahead and do a partial, we'll figure out whats not happy afterwards [05:22] Hey could anyone help me setup my ftp server? I am using gproftpd, but i cant get it to work, cant connect even locally [05:22] Bodsda: okay. [05:22] autoremove and autoclean.. [05:22] haha [05:22] ᒃ‿ᒄ [05:22] ajhtiredwolf: FTP servers are often a challenge. Could you use sftp instead? [05:22] Flannel: i'm on dialup :/ [05:22] erpo, whats the difference? [05:23] please dont paste anything in the channel [05:23] ? [05:23] AeronTG: You'll need to upgrade anyway. Alright, uh, hit cancel, we'll move to the command line, and it'll give us more vocal errors. [05:23] ajhtiredwolf: What's the difference between what? [05:23] Flannel: a box just popped up saying "Error authenticating some packages", and lists a ton of packages [05:23] erpo: i'm on a live cd. everything i've done so far has been through mount. no fstab entry at all. if you could tell me an exact entry, that would be wonderful. [05:23] sorry :( [05:23] oh god a paste get the noose [05:23] afallenhope, those can also be found in the man page ;~) [05:23] erpo. lol between sftp and ftp [05:23] Bodsda: cool shit [05:23] >) [05:23] xiaden: Which live cd? [05:24] !ohmy | afallenhope [05:24] afallenhope: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:24] Flannel: so just close the update manager and move to the cli? [05:24] AeronTG: Aye. Pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --simulate dist-upgrade [05:24] figures [05:24] I was told: SonicComKid: All right. If that's what you really want to do, change ALL text [05:24] to lower case.. that's trivial. Try something like: export DIR=dirwithPHPfiles ; for i in [05:24] $( find $DIR \*.php ) ; do cat i | tr A-Z a-z > $i.lc ; mv $i $.bak ; mv $i.lc $i; done .. [05:24] or *something* like that. Take this as a rough guide. Read manual pages he said he left out an 'i' after a $ I don't know where or how though [05:24] SonicComKid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:24] ajhtiredwolf: SFTP is built into the openssh server so it's easy to set up. Just add a user to the system. [05:24] ..that should have been one line [05:24] repeating my question: PLEASE HELP WITH CDROM IN 8.04 [05:24] oh god a paste get the noose [05:24] ajhtiredwolf: It's also not **MASSIVELY** insecure, like ftp. [05:24] does anyone have another answer for afallenhope? [05:24] erpo, can anyone connect to it thorugh an ftp program ? [05:24] haha [05:25] ajhtiredwolf: Use scp or the file browser in Linux, or use winscp in Windows. [05:25] kubu, from around two weeks ago. what i am ultamently doing is deleting a single file from my drivers folder so this computer will boot back to its origanal POS os. [05:25] ajhtiredwolf: Or Filezilla in windows, or a number of other FTP clients [05:25] erpo, I need something that users will be able to connect to through filezilla [05:25] ajhtiredwolf: There's a program for the mac too that's pretty good, but I don't know what it's called. [05:25] dmseg, sorry it's just smile [05:25] ajhtiredwolf: you're in luck. Filezilla supports scp [05:25] erpo, will they have to do any sepcial configuraing since its an sftp? [05:26] how can i help develop ubuntu? [05:26] erpo: kubu, from around two weeks ago. what i am ultamently doing is deleting a single file from my drivers folder so this computer will boot back to its origanal POS os.(repost) [05:26] I fixed it anyways. [05:26] Flannel, sweet but will they have to know its a sftp and connect to it differently? [05:27] ajhtiredwolf: Yeah, the setup is alittle different, but it's just different options in the config box. It behaves the same [05:27] need your help guys, was trying to get aircrack-ng to work and followed a guide and now i lost my wireless [05:27] how do I get external tabs working in fluxbox, i've looked but can't find any docs on it [05:27] Flannel, how would i go about setting it up? [05:27] ndiswrapper will get it up back again [05:28] xiaden: Try umount /dev/sda1, and then mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt [05:28] Flannel: i think your so very busy right now... lol [05:28] ajhtiredwolf: Uh... gosh. Under servertype there's an SFTP option. And, everything else is the same (well, port will be 22, but that's default for SFTP anyway, so that'll be filled in automatically) [05:28] Where can I find some detailed documentation on the php5-xdebug package? I would like to see if it is possible to use it as a plugin to an IDE without mods.. [05:28] dmseg: ndiswrapper is how i got it to work in the first place [05:28] sheep [05:28] still_here: Anything in particular you'd like to take part in? [05:28] still_here: yes> [05:28] dmseg: but when i followed the same guide again https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff, it did not work [05:29] dmseg: ifconfig doesnt even show wlan0 [05:29] Flannel.....might be awhile? it's at 10% [05:29] hmmm... i was using gproftd to make the ftp server before... how would i make an sftp one? [05:29] can someone PLEASE tell me what afabian meant by there being an 'i' missing after the $ in the code he gave me?? [05:29] Flannel, hmmm... i was using gproftd to make the ftp server before... how would i make an sftp one? [05:29] Ca9PaGrNt7CcbMrL [05:29] SonicComKid: what was that code? [05:29] Flannel: what do you mean "to take part in?" i didn't got it [05:29] F! [05:29] SonicComKid: All right. If that's what you really want to do, change ALL text to lower case.. that's trivial. Try something like: export DIR=dirwithPHPfiles ; for i in $( find $DIR \*.php ) ; do cat i | tr A-Z a-z > $i.lc ; mv $i $.bak ; mv $i.lc $i; done .. or *something* like that. Take this as a rough guide. Read manual pages [05:29] Time to change my password. === zero is now known as Guest60770 [05:29] sheep, sorry forgot to write your name [05:30] ajhtiredwolf: You install openssh-server, and then you're done. User management is all done through local users. So go to users and groups, and set up users/passwords/homedirs, etc === Guest60770 is now known as zero-jt [05:30] sheep, he said something about he left out an 'i' after a $ [05:30] whats the command to clean a kernel tree [05:30] SonicComKid: replace 'cat i' with 'cat $i' [05:30] make clean left stuff behind [05:30] erpo: i don't have that filesystem [05:30] still_here: to develop === jesse is now known as zero-jt [05:30] how do I get external tabs working in fluxbox? [05:30] sheep, thanks! [05:30] * dmseg requests permision to pm [05:30] dmseg: sure go ahead [05:30] Hello, I just upgraded to Hardy. GRUB doesn't show the new kernel ( I did choose to keep original), how do I update it so I can load the newer kernel? [05:30] erpo: ntfs-3g [05:30] xiaden: Strange. Maybe the live cd doesn't have ntfs-3g then. [05:31] Flannel: oh, yeah.. i'd liked to... its a good experience i think [05:31] AeronTG: Did you forget the --simulate? === kumarphiz is now known as kumarphilly [05:31] still_here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment might be the best place to start [05:31] caerphilly [05:31] Flannel: thanks [05:31] sheep, I got errors [05:31] erpo: i'm thinking not. apt-get doesn't show it either. any specific package?? [05:32] xiaden: I don't know. apt-cache search ntfs-3g? [05:32] When I apt-get the flashplugin-nonfree from the repositories, where does it store the .tar.gz it grabs from adobe? [05:32] SonicComKid: what errors? [05:32] sheep, it says find: dirwithPHPfiles: no such file or directory, as well as fine: *.php: no such file or directory [05:32] Flannel: i copied and pasted exactly what you wrote [05:32] SonicComKid: replace 'dirwithPHPfiles' with the directory that contains the PHP files [05:32] LINUX SUCKS [05:32] erpo: no output on that command =P [05:32] erpo, xiaden, ntfs-config is the config option you'll need to use to enable write support, if that's the question (this is on hardy, previous versions are a little different) === abcerdcmd is now known as WINDOWS_ [05:33] sheep, oh, I figure I'm supposed to replace dirwithphpfiles with the dir.. erm.. I need this to run recurseivly to all subdirectiores [05:33] Melgo, try locate [05:33] can ubuntu x64 run a pvr 150? [05:33] Flannel: It's a live cd and an internal drive. [05:33] got it, update-grub [05:33] hey, speaking of grub [05:33] erpo: ah. Well, its not by default. The read ability is though. You just can't write by default. that file is in universe too. [05:33] i've noticed that when i turn my computer on, i keep getting extra entries for ubuntu in the loader [05:33] XSirtet is boring me....i've played 1,297 games of it :D [05:34] xiaden: I recommend dumping kubuntu and getting a copy of sysrescuecd. [05:34] now there are three entries for the same ubuntu install, each with a safe mode [05:34] and then windows [05:34] Vedestin: That's correct. One for each kernel version you have [05:34] when i first installed it, there was obviously just one [05:34] extor: any luck yet getting the info you want ? http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/php5-xdebug seems very thin on specifics .. [05:34] Flannel, why would i have three kernel versions? [05:34] updates? [05:34] Vedestin: Yep [05:34] ah ok [05:35] sheep, still screwed up. This time fine: *.php: no such file or directory, and cat: dlns: is a directory [05:35] so that will let me backdate if an update breaks something? [05:35] erpo: only have one system =P live cd dun write cd's, seeing as how it's in the cd drive. [05:35] i have the same Vedesin its normal [05:35] sheep, dlns is the root folder of all php files that needed altering === DiGiTaL is now known as _Net [05:35] xiaden: Do you have any friends perchance? ;) [05:35] Vedestin: Exactly, just choose an older one at GRUB if you find a problem with the new one [05:35] Wispring, but is it a normal feature or a normal bug [05:35] too easy, thanks Flannel [05:36] normal feature so you can use an old kernal if a new one runs to buggy on your pc [05:36] Vedestin: If you want to remove some (I think its always a good idea to have at least one old, known good one, but you don't need eight, obviously), just remove the older linux-image-[version] packages. [05:36] Vedestin: With your favorite package manager === Paijo_paimin is now known as ko2 [05:36] sudo make net/mac80211/mac80211.ko drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/b43legacy.ko [05:36] how do I recursively modify the permissions of a directory? [05:36] ohh, good to know, thanks a lot Flannel [05:37] i ran a command like that...would repeating the steps and typing make uninstall do anything? [05:37] demonspork: Which directory are you looking to change? [05:37] demonspork: chmod -R [05:37] abcerdcmd: i guess BILL GATES pays you for using windows [05:37] demonspork, sudo chmod ??? -R /path/to/parent [05:37] sudo make uninstall net/mac... [05:37] By the way, my graphics driver cd is only available for windows. is there any available driver for linux? [05:37] WINDOWS_ : right ??? [05:37] I'm new to ubuntu and i was wondering if anyone out there knows of a way to load programs designed for windows... such as higher end games... does such an option exist that will work with ubuntu [05:37] !nvidia | still_here [05:38] still_here: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:38] !wine | LesserRemarkable [05:38] LesserRemarkable: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [05:38] still_here: 2D or 3D? [05:38] thank you yiga1 [05:38] abcerdcmd: there is nothing worng in using windows (it full of bugs and viruses and you have to update not really its fine to ue other than its 100000 bugs and updates) [05:38] <_Net> I got a crash harddrive im trying to restore the files, can anyone give any ideas how to do this/ [05:38] Flannel: your so quick! how'd you do that? haha, thanks [05:38] LesserRemarkable: The newer a game, the less likely it is to work with wine. [05:38] demonspork: np, glad it helped [05:38] erpo: 3D [05:38] I need some help, how do I configure an Ubuntu Server (not Desktop) to auto mount a USB hard disk when it is inserted? [05:38] still_here: ATI or nVidia? [05:39] sup all [05:39] how crashed is crashed on your hard drive [05:39] _Net: testdisk is handy [05:39] does it spin for example [05:39] erpo: its VIA [05:39] my pc is a AMD athlon 64 processor but I'm running the normal hardy distro. Should I upgrade to 64 bit version? What will it get me? Any reason not to? [05:39] Hello people :) [05:39] still_here: No idea. [05:39] tripps: no real reason, I'm using 64bit but there are compromises [05:40] Flames, if i wanted this sftp user to only be able to download and upload files, would i just check access "allow use of fuse filesystem like LTSP thin client blockdecice" [05:40] woops [05:40] that was supposed to go to Flannel [05:40] yiga1, such as? [05:40] i dont think theres any compromises of using 64 bit [05:40] tripps: Do you have 4GB of RAM or more? [05:40] ohh hello how are you (may i remind you we are ina support channel be a little on topic) [05:40] tripps, if you like you can update to 64 bit [05:40] <_Net> Rat409: I dont have ubuntu installed, it had windows previously installed on it. I'm just using SystemRescueCD to access it cause windows wont load [05:40] erpo: alright. i'll think i should have go to the company's site. ;) [05:40] still_here: Unlikely. [05:40] tripps: using non-64bit codecs for flash etc. [05:40] i* [05:40] if my harddrive is making a loud buzzing noise its probably shot right ? [05:40] 2GB RAM [05:40] dmseg: sure thing.. I have a question ;) I'm getting to it [05:40] still_here: That's not really the Linux way. [05:40] tripps: Minimal benefit to moving to 64 bit. [05:40] erpo: what do you mean? [05:41] Quixotic might be a fan [05:41] ajhtiredwolf: No, FUSE filesystems is different. But, you'd just want to make it so they couldn't do anything outside of their homedirs, pretty much. So, hardly any permissions. Uh, the lowest preset I think is similar. [05:41] yiga1: nspluginwrapper works 100% for me... [05:41] metatron2 i took the drive out and put it in an enclosure kit and i still hear it [05:41] TiMiDo, can I upgrade to 64 bit and still be able to boot back into normal kernel? i.e., keep all the libs side-by-side, etc.? [05:41] tripps: 64bit is perhaps a bit faster but if you code, then most code is written for 32 bit sometimes converting can be overlooked which leads to problems [05:41] Flames, so just uncheck everything? [05:41] Hey yall, anyone have this problem before, when i click switch user to lockout to the login screen after a few minutes the screen will go white. I can still type in a user name and password and it will dump me to that desktop. anyone? [05:41] tripps, why not.. [05:41] update manager not working for me [05:41] Quixotic well it could be going south, but ive had noisy drives keep going for years [05:41] ksa1, any errors?

[05:41] erpo: [05:42] what is the best method to upgrade to 64 bit hardy while keeping what I have? [05:42] i have 8.04 [05:42] ksa1: You still have edgy sources in your sources.list, you should remove them [05:42] i.e., is there a meta package for that [05:42] metratron2 could you tell me how to load the enclosure kit then in ubuntu? i plugged it in via usb but not sure how to access it and want to try to recover the data off the machine since the machine this drive was plugged into before was a mac and the mac dosent boot anymore most likely because of the drive [05:42] how [05:42] ? [05:42] is there a way to have ubuntu hardy server auto mount a usb hard disk on connect, not on startup? [05:42] tripps: do you have home on a seperate partition? [05:42] tripps: Unfortunately you can't upgrade from 32 to 64 bit (or vice versa), it's a reinstall thing [05:42] ksa1, do sudo apt-get update [05:43] tripps: yes, indeed to what Flannel said [05:43] you could buy a new hardrive and just install to that........ [05:43] ksa1: alt-f2, `gksu "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"` then put a # infront of any lines with edgy in them (look like wine ones) [05:43] ok, still got the error though [05:43] Quixotic sorry havent used a usb enclosure, did u try booting with it plugged in, i image it just needs to be mounted [05:43] ok I guess I won't worry about it then. Thanks though! [05:43] Flannel: up to 25% now [05:43] cyclops, try with iman (i find this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=356478 ) [05:43] metatron2 ill reboot and find out thx [05:43] erpo: does 7.04 have ntfs-3g in it's repo? [05:43] tripps: I wouldn't what do you want 64bit for anyway? [05:43] ivman* [05:43] ksa1, ignored it or do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and on the url that you see the error just put # in it. [05:43] i [05:43] so you ignored it [05:44] yiga1, no reason. just wondered if I might get better performance, etc. [05:44] Hey yall, anyone have this problem before, when i click switch user to lockout to the login screen after a few minutes the screen will go white. I can still type in a user name and password and it will dump me to that desktop. anyone? [05:44] Flannel, also should i make the "Main group" ssh? and should i put the profile as desktop user or unprivledged? [05:44] still_here: Drivers typically aren't distributed from the manufacturer to the user. Well, they are, but they're hard to install and come with problems. So the distros package the drivers for you. [05:44] still_here: Just install the distro and see if 3D works automatically. If it doesn't look for a howto. [05:44] still_here: Or alternately, you clearly don't care about performance since you don't have an ATI or nVidia card. So go with an Intel chip. They're well supported with FOSS drivers right out of the box. [05:44] tripps: unlikely at this time [05:44] can someone tell me what the /etc in linux stands for? [05:44] etcetera [05:44] Is anyone here proftpd(FTP) program expert/guru i have been trying for 2 days to get this thing up and running any help would be appreciated [05:44] same thing it means everywhere else [05:44] its just a folder to store stuff [05:45] thanks [05:45] Anyone topnotch on ad-hoc networking? I have set up a fake AP with my wlan-card called ath1. I also have a USB-modem and everytime that is connected ath1 can rx/tx packets. How can I solve this? As well as, can I tunnel my packets from ath1 to ppp0 (the modem) so other wifi-devices can connect to ath1's AP and reach internet through ppp0 [05:45] My wireless is not working after following this guide http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=3597.0 [05:45] yiga1, would it be possible to boot up into xen 64, use my existing install as a guest OS, and launch a 64 bit guest side by side with it (for no particular reason other than testing, etc.)? [05:45] ajhtiredwolf: unprivledged user looks to be what you want [05:45] erpo: thanks for that nice answer... :) [05:45] initially it was working using this guide /Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff [05:45] trucMuche, I tried ivman, but I can't get it to work it doesn't seem to detect the drive at all when it connects, though the system detects it at the hal level - I'm pretty sure.

I can still type in a user name and password and it will dump me to that desktop. anyone know of a fix? [05:45] wonder if you could run 64 bit ubuntu under 32 bit ubuntu in a virtual machine...prolly not [05:46] Flannel, ok il try that with everyhting unchecked [05:46] ksa1, exit type f2 [05:46] and then save it [05:46] Is there anyway i can go back to that? or am I going to have to reinstall [05:46] My Ubuntu 8.04 freezes when I use a little CPU... youtube.com for example. Help anyone? [05:46] tripps: I'm not sure of the capabilities of xen, but I would imagine the answer is yes [05:46] Einar, does it only do it for apps that use the internet? [05:46] still get the error -- i feel really dumb now [05:47] is there anything else to do? [05:47] No, anything really [05:47] ksa1, put # on it, [05:47] where? [05:47] Einar, oh, sorry, thoght you had the same prob as me [05:47] ksa1, ignored it or do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and on the url that you see the error just put # in it. [05:47] I had uninstalled ndiswrapper, and followed the guide to patch the kernel with the broadcom drivers, and now i wanna go back to the previous working settings anyway to do that? [05:47] hai all [05:47] does anyone here have a FTP server progam running on ubuntu and can give me pointers on how to get one running on my pc? [05:47] ksa1: Pastebin your sources.list, and also check inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ are there any files? [05:47] how r u today ? [05:48] glitsj16, no luck so far :( [05:48] someone recomend a console based irc client? [05:48] Metatron2: irssi [05:48] irssi [05:48] Anyone know why my graphics card is goiong haywire? All graphical intinsive displays are blinking rapidly hen used. [05:48] I really dont want to reinstall, any help in restoring the kernel or reversing whatever it is I did [05:48] I installed in and it seems to give debugging information when PHP scripts make a booboo...with orange highlighting but thats all [05:48] Flannel: You win [05:48] ok thnx, dont have x installed yet on other system, trying lite wm/fm === sheep is now known as Starnestommy [05:49] i really need wireless to work and dont want to lose everything i have done to setup the laptop [05:49] metratron2 i rebooted computer with usb external plugged in and still cant see the drive. [05:49] Hey yall, anyone have this problem before, when i click switch user to lockout to the login screen after a few minutes the screen will go white. I can still type in a user name and password and it will dump me to that desktop. anyone know of a fix? [05:49] extor: i presume it will work smoothly with apache and php, what IDE are you trying to plug it into ? [05:49] Can anyone explain to me how I can view a hdd that I just plugged in using an enclosure kit via usb ? [05:49] digitaltao: i get that white screen when i resume from suspend, havent looked into a solution yet [05:49] Housefly7k: You should be able to, yes. You'll need to remove/disable ndiswrapper and then unblacklist your bcm module [05:49] ok works now [05:49] thanks [05:50] Anyone know why my graphics card is goiong haywire? All graphical intinsive displays are blinking rapidly hen used. [05:50] Housefly7k yea it is annoying [05:50] clientchance, maybe it is overheating ? [05:50] glitsj16, any IDE really..I have quanta plus installed so that would be nice if it worked there...I have no clue as to what xdebug really does and how to integrate it into IDEs yet [05:50] Flannel: any help in doing that would be appreciated...http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=3597.0 is the guide i followed === silverblade|zZzZ is now known as silverblade [05:50] Quixoticj, no it does iy on the screensaver too [05:50] Housefly7k: are you using the nvidia drivers? [05:51] Flannel: However ndiswrapper was how i got it to work in the first place [05:51] digitaltao: yes [05:51] taken straight from yahoo sports in a story about the Celtics' win over Lakers tonight: "It was a group effort by this gang in green, which bonded behind Rivers, who borrowed an African word ubuntu (pronounced Ooh-BOON-too) and roughly means “I am, because we are” in English, as the Celtics’ unifying team motto." [05:51] Housefly: do you have the enhanced desktop features enabled? [05:51] Flannel: i followed this guide here, using ndiswrapper and it worked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff [05:51] Housefly7k: And then you did what and it broke? [05:51] Quixoticj, its doing it on Google earth [05:52] how can I view a HDD that I plugged in via usb inside an enclosure kit? I thought ubuntu automounts but I cant seem to locate the drive. [05:52] calcmandan: Do you have a link by chance? [05:52] Flannel: this guide, uninstalled ndiswrapper and patched the kernel http://tinyshell.be/aircrackng/forum/index.php?topic=3597.0 [05:52] clintchance It can overheat from any type of video usage if the card is going bad. [05:52] extor: okay, it's a debugging tool, that much is clear .. the nifty thing is that it hooks right into your scripts without you having to change those (which is a real blessing) .. perhaps xdebug.org has more info on the ubuntu or linux support in general [05:52] QuixoticJ try sudo fdisk -1 and see if the drive is detected [05:52] kininja: yes, here it is http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2008061702 [05:52] ajhtiredwolf: maybe channel #proftpd would know [05:53] glitsj16, don [05:53] Quixoticj, it better not be the laptop is only 1 1/2 years old its an ati 1100 Radeon express [05:53] glitsj16, don't you have to type in a line saying breakpoint() or something into your code? [05:53] calcmandan: Totally awesome! [05:53] :D [05:53] yeah I am going to read their web page a bit more [05:53] Hi, why does gnash not display youtube in mozilla? amd64 nvidia [05:53] hardy [05:53] legend2440, thanks [05:54] extor: hmm, i guess it's one of those 'try - and find -out' moments .. at least the packaged version in ubuntu op php5-xdebug is pretty recent [05:54] Okay, I found a much simpler methid being: tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' newfile can someone please tell me how to make it so that this will resursivly run that command, in which 'file' and 'newfile' will be every php file in every directory (desired result is to make all .php files lowercase by text) [05:54] clintchance try blowing it out with an air compressor or compressed air in the vents and heatsink areas. Maybe its dusty if its that old [05:54] Housefly7k: Gah. What fun. Uh, choosing one of your stock kernels should work as far as the kernel is concerned, As for the wifi modules, I'm less sure. This is why following random forum posts isn't safe. [05:54] hey [05:54] QuixoticJ if sudo fdisk -1 in terminal shows something, [05:54] metatron2 I dont see the usb hdd showing up in fdisk -l. Any ideas ? i think the drive might be defective but I dont know how to properly mount it to be sure [05:54] Quixoticj, Could it be Copiz? [05:55] compiz* [05:55] Flannel: yeah i know, i only followed it cause it was on the documentation page of aircrack-ng [05:55] SonicComKid: Check out "replace" instead. [05:55] Flannel: so it isnt reversible [05:55] anyone having mount problems with xubuntu 8.04? [05:55] then a command like then a command - - sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/myusbdrive should mount it [05:55] flannel, I still need a way to make it mass run on all php files to make them all lowercase in contents [05:55] if fdisk doesnt see it, get comfortable [05:56] extor: it supports remote debugging as well, hope you can get it going, it's addictive once you use it (especially the code profiler to get the heavy parts located so you can try to get those cleaner) :) [05:56] metatron2 I dont think fdisk sees any paritions that werent already there when I set the box up. [05:56] glitsj16, which IDE do you use it with? [05:56] Housefly7k: No, it should be reversible, I'm just not up to snuff with my mental filesystem to tell you how to reverse it. It mostly depends on the program's (fwcutter) functionality. As I'm unfamiliar with it [05:56] SonicComKid: Oh, you need to do it for the contents? [05:56] metatron2 I'm not even sure the computer knows I plugged a usb thing in [05:56] flannel, also, 'replace' is not a vlid command. and it says if I want to install it, to type apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 for some strange reason O.o [05:57] glitsj16, check this out...this is what got me interested in xdebug: http://www.pseudocoder.com/archives/2007/04/24/how-to-really-use-xdebug-to-speed-up-your-app/ [05:57] sereiously why do i have a big pale yellow block where my youtube video should be in mozilla? amd_64, hardy [05:57] Is that how you are utilizing it also? [05:57] SonicComKid: replace isnt a command its a program. I... couldve sworn it was installed by default, but I suppose might not be anymore. [05:57] flannel, YES, I want to make all PHP files CONTENTS lower case. Which is why I typed that command before [05:57] if the drivers are right then it should report in with fdisk -1 [05:57] extor: i started with a simple text editor like gedit and have tried a few but never felt at home, still using gedit with a few plugins for documentation and code-folding [05:57] if not.... i dunno, try the vendors web site, maybe a missing module [05:57] flannel, I asked multiple times, and people keep giving me huge complex scripts that don't work [05:58] Metatron2, yea that works but is there a way to fix the automount so it works? [05:58] SonicComKid: The description around it didn't make sense re: contents. Well, shucks. That's quite a task. At any rate. [05:58] metatron2 if the harddrive was bad would that prevent fdisk -l from showing anything ? [05:58] glitsj16, but did you get xdebug integrated into gedit? [05:58] Hey yall, anyone have this problem before, when i click switch user to lockout to the login screen after a few minutes the screen will go white. I can still type in a user name and password and it will dump me to that desktop. anyone know of a fix? [05:58] not sure on automount, hampered a bit here not in ubunut atm, installing it on other machine, but he wanted to get the data cause the drive might be marginal, should be able to do that [05:59] flannel, the last person gave me: export DIR=dirwithPHPfiles ; for i in [05:59] $( find $DIR \*.php ) ; do cat $i | tr A-Z a-z > $i.lc ; mv $i $.bak ; mv $i.lc $i; done but that doesn't work [05:59] I have issues, big ones, i cant compile anything it will not create any makefile executables, i type ./config it runs through, then type make and it cant find any makefile execs thats with all packages, also i cant install beryl i try to add the repository list for it, but when i try to add the key via terminal the conection times out, nothing that i want seems to be working [05:59] flannel, I just get tons of errors [05:59] hmm nvm it seems to be working now for some strange reason [05:59] hi, i just installed ubuntu, and i configured grub afterwards to try to boot it. i have gentoo on my primary disk (since early 2006), and today i installed a secondary drive and installed ubuntu on it. when i try booting ubuntu in grub, i get an Error 2: Bad file. no idea why...here's a pastebin that contains disk and grub info: http://pastebin.org/44390 . any ideas? [05:59] thanks for the help Megatron2 [05:59] SonicComKid: Lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, itll be less noisy for everyone involved [05:59] extor: i hook it into apache and at the bottom of any script it shows the debug and profile output, i don't write overly complex php code though :) [05:59] flannel, okay. Or do you want to just PM? [05:59] any counter strike for linux ? [05:59] malkav: does it in 32bit, I've been using 64bit for so long that I didn't know it was finally working well for 32 [06:00] please answer [06:00] metatron2 thx for the help. im not sure where to turn next. I hope this isnt a failed drive it has quickbooks on it and desperately need the info off. [06:00] if the drive dies outright, (stops spinning) try saran wrapping it and putting it the frezzer overnight, sounds crazy but ive got data off dead drives that way b4 [06:00] I have a simple issue. When playing FLV with VLC the sound on Firefox FAILS. I have to exit VLC and restart Firefox to get youtube sound to work again for example. [06:00] cause i like counter strike [06:00] i just got a new dell laptop that id like to throw ubuntu on. I'd also like to virtualize Vista/XP, so is the best way to do that to save some free hard drive space when I partition for ubuntu? [06:00] Can anyone recreate my problem? [06:01] extor: there's kcachegrind on ubuntu as well if you want to go that way, everything is there [06:01] Flannel, its not letting people connect :-\ [06:01] magazist you can install steam with wine [06:01] ajhtiredwolf firewall? [06:01] glitsj16, nice; I am going to be exploring all these tools soon [06:01] Metatron2, I have a router [06:01] Anyone else have VLC?? [06:01]  I have issues, big ones, i cant compile anything it will not create any makefile executables, i type ./config it runs through, then type make and it cant find any makefile execs thats with all packages, also i cant install beryl i try to add the repository list for it, but when i try to add the key via terminal the conection times out, nothing that i want seems to be working [06:01] extor: in case you are unfamiliar with that, it's a visualization tool to interpret bigger php apps, very handy indeed [06:01] ajhtiredwolf: Do you have port 22 forwarded/opened on your router? [06:02] Flannel, dont think so. Do i need to open it? [06:02] extor: yes, some reading and experimenting,, the php spirit ;) [06:02] magazist you can install steam with wine [06:02] you mind ? [06:02] how to install ? [06:02] robuntu have you downloaded a new kernel lately? i got a new kernel but the update missed the header and compiles went south, got the full update and its ok now [06:02] is there a person willing to teach me linux? hehe, a kinda kind of master. [06:02] i cant figure out how to install anything [06:02] ajhtiredwolf: Yeah. They need to be able to connect via ssh (port 22 by default) [06:02] im a new linux user [06:02] Flannel, he sad it says account logon type not supported by selected protcol [06:03] where can i get it im not sure how can i check [06:03] ajhtiredwolf: Can you log in locally? [06:03] ajhtiredwolf: (to one of those accounts) [06:03] ok, lets try another question. Does ubuntu 8.04 come with compiz and all that eyecandy installed out of the box? [06:03] mag there are a few really good tuts on the web [06:03] just google steam install with wine [06:04] TuXNubGuy: there's a small but nice howto on installing at http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ [06:04] Hey guys, i just switched monitors and when ubuntu starts up (the screen with the orange pong that goes back and forth across the screen) my screen says Video is out of range. How can you change the video settings for startup/shutdown? Once ubuntu boots it works fine. [06:04] SiegeX: Yes, a subset [06:04] Flames, yeah it let me login locally [06:04] digitaltao ==> i am not understood [06:04] How do you load the windows manager from bash? [06:04] can you tell me step by step ? [06:05] someone jar my memory, whats the command line command to set eth0 ip addy, netmask, gateway, dns [06:05] what is the latest kernel version? [06:05] Flannel: for the whole shebang, is it just a matter of apt-get'ing some packages or do i have to roll my own from source? [06:05] let me find you a link magazist [06:05] Flames, when i logged in locally... its supposed to go to the folder i specified but i see root and everything [06:05] robuntu: on ubuntu that'll be 2.6.24-19 [06:05] ok [06:06] how do i check my kernel version [06:06] uname -a [06:06] robuntu: uname -r [06:06] i think [06:06] uname -r [06:06] Flannel, when i logged in locally... its supposed to go to the folder i specified but i see root and everything [06:06] ok [06:06] ajhtiredwolf: Sounds like your user didn't get a homedirectory [06:07] ajhtiredwolf: the unprivledged user may have no homedir made by default, I'm not sure. [06:07] here you go magazist http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux [06:07] ok i have the latest kernel version but i cant compile anything, it wont make any makefile execs, i run through the ./configure and it does its thing, then i type make and it says it cannot locate a makefile exec [06:08] hey guys [06:08] robuntu: build-essential [06:08] its giving me issues with all sorts of packages [06:08] hi, will firefox 3 make it to gutsy repos? dapper? [06:08] yeah I'm waiting for Firefox 3 [06:08] Flannel, ok it let him connect. I guess when he connects he only sees the folders i specified. But when i connect locally i see all files. weird [06:08] itai-michaelson: I don't think it'll be in gutsy or dapper anytime soon if at all, but hardy should be getting it [06:08] itai-michaelson: to gutsy via backports perhaps, dapper that's pretty much a lost cause for firefox 3 i guess [06:09] thanks [06:09] mancesss [06:09] sweet [06:09] nnnnnnnnnn [06:10] ajhtiredwolf: Yeah, everything looks in order over here. [06:10] Shalom [06:11] Flames, any idea why i can see more than other people can? [06:11] Flannel, , any idea why i can see more than other people can? [06:11] ajhtiredwolf: You shouldn't be able to. Let me try logging in locally, see what I see. [06:11] Flames, ok [06:12] ajhtiredwolf: What did you see? I don't see anything unusual. Just my homedir [06:12] i instaled ubuntu onto my externsl and when i boot up grub it says the partition doesnt exist.... so [06:12] what do i do [06:12] Flannel, I see bin boot cdrom dev etc home int and everything [06:13] Flannel, but the dir is sftp://ftpclient@192.168.0.2/ [06:13] I am new to ubuntu where can I get a good pho editor with code highlliting [06:13] ok i have the latest kernel version and build-essential but i cant compile anything, it wont make any makefile execs, i run through the ./configure and it does its thing, then i type make and it says it cannot locate a makefile exec [06:14] feel like i'm watching The Sixth Sense in here :D [06:14] php editor [06:14] does 8.04 have a 2.4 kernel option?

[06:15] Hello room [06:15] hey [06:15] Need some help using a USB wireless mouse. [06:16] i'll go with emacs user334234 [06:16] For some reason ubuntu isn't powering on the reciever [06:16] robuntu: do you have make , automake installed on your system ? [06:16] ok i have the latest kernel version and build-essential but i cant compile anything, it wont make any makefile execs, i run through the ./configure and it does its thing, then i type make and it says it cannot locate a makefile exec [06:17] Big problem. All the sudden I dont even have the option to connect to other wireless networks. Can anyone help me? [06:17] oppd doupble post === silverblade is now known as silverblade|work [06:17] hi all, I want to file a bug about the clock-applet in gnome-panel, what package should I file the bug against? [06:17] how can i check glits [06:17] greets gents, i ran the update manager and got: "E: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [06:17] synaptic [06:17] robuntu: try Synaptic [06:17] ok [06:18] Anyone able to help me with my webcam? [06:18] robuntu: while you're in there, might as well check gcc as well to make sure [06:18] i know the kernel is nothing to mess with. will my system be left inoperable? [06:18] The mouse I'm attempting to use is a targus notebook mouse. It works fine under windows. Anyone know why ubuntu wouldn't recognize it? [06:18] i have make and auto make installed glits [06:18] does the repos already have firefox 3 stable? [06:19] yep [06:19] total linux/ubuntu newbie here... i would like to delete a file...but when i chk the properties on it it shows I am not the root...what do i need to do to delete this file...any help always is very much appreciated [06:19] glits: i also have gcc instaled [06:19] robuntu: hmm strange indeed in that case, can 't come up with anything at the moment that could cause those kind of errors sorry [06:20] Wispring: Sounds like you shouldn't delete it [06:20] glits: its ok im at a complete loss i think my machine is crap!!! :) [06:20] Vedestin: i see. thanks [06:20] ok i have the latest kernel version, make, automake, gcc and build-essential but i cant compile anything, it wont make any makefile execs, i run through the ./configure and it does its thing, then i type make and it says it cannot locate a makefile exec [06:20] Wispring: What is the file you're trying to delete? [06:21] no i just read at proftpd.org...that i should [06:21] /etc/shutmsg [06:21] Well, if you really need to, in a terminal run: sudo rm /etc/shutmsg [06:21] having probs getting this ftp server working [06:21] robuntu: if you have backups of all your data, i guess a reinstall won't set you far back timewise, sometimes bandwith cap is another problem :) [06:21] did it not update automatically, BoltCloc1? [06:22] glits: this is the real kicker its a complete freash install, wtf, i dont get it had it only hours [06:22] Hardy heron not recognizing wireless usb mouse. Touchpad is driving me insane. What can I do? [06:22] Wispring: I would recommend copying or moving the file elsewhere [06:22] Vedestin: it sure did. argh that stupid nick problem is back [06:22] Just in case [06:22] robuntu: ow i see [06:22] how simply renaming it? [06:23] Yeah [06:23] Or sudo mv /etc/shutmsg ~ [06:23] Which will just move it to your homedir [06:23] ok i have the latest kernel version, make, automake, gcc and build-essential but i cant compile anything, it wont make any makefile execs, i run through the ./configure and it does its thing, then i type make and it says it cannot locate a makefile exec, and this is a fresh install too. any ideas? [06:24] wouldnt compile on the live cd ether [06:24] does anyone use keyboard multimedia buttons in Amarok? Mine work in Rhythmbox but not Amarok. [06:24] I use them and they work in Exaile [06:24] so it may just be amarok [06:25] i'm sure they work for other applications, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to get them to work in amarok. [06:25] im suprised they dont to be honest [06:25] *hangs self with mouse cord* [06:26] robuntu is this true for every application you've tried to compile? [06:26] so far, unless you have anyother packages for me to try [06:26] ive tried like three [06:26] Hello, I installed Ubuntu 8.04. And I connect to internet by going to the terminal and typing pppoeconf.. I get connected to the internet but only for about a minute or so. Then it gets disconnected automatically. Any hint what is causing this? [06:26] does anyone knows an alternative for mythtv? [06:27] I've never run across stuff like that happening. build-essential has always got me up and running doing compilations [06:27] can ubuntu install RPM's pretty easily or should i use a tar.gz? Vmware only has those two options [06:27] i dont know im at an absolute loss, ive wanted linux but this seems unfixable [06:28] SiegeX, tar [06:28] VMware Workstation 6.5 Beta i should say, im sure non-beta has it [06:28] SiegeX system->admin->software sources, enable canonical partner in 3d party sources, then sudo apt-get install vmware-server [06:28] SiegeX: rpm's no not easily no [06:28] SiegeX ah, workstation. Targz [06:28] !rpm | SiegeX [06:28] SiegeX: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [06:28] nickrud, wish I new that last week about vmware.. would've saved me hours. [06:29] ok i have the latest kernel version, make, automake, gcc and build-essential but i cant compile anything, it wont make any makefile execs, i run through the ./configure and it does its thing, then i type make and it says it cannot locate a makefile exec, its also a fresh install. [06:29] My dell came with a remote, does that mean it has a Infra-red device? [06:29] nickrud, do you know which version? 1.0.6 or Beta 2.9 [06:29] Miesco, it should [06:30] izinucs a sec [06:30] k [06:30] does ubuntu have a "chkconfig" ? [06:30] or how do I add / remove startup services ? [06:30] anyone? [06:31] having usb issues in hardy heron [06:31] izinucs I'd swear I got vmware-server from there, but it's not available now [06:31] The CIR on Dell Portable computers will only function with the Dell Travel Remote, and is not designed to work with any other remote control device. [06:31] izinucs could be thinking of gutsy [06:32] Does that mean its not a normal IR unit? [06:32] Flannel: it finally completed, with problems (I think). here's the pastebin url -> http://pastebin.com/f56734597 [06:33] nickrud, yea maybe... vers 1.0.X doesn't work right on the newer kernel and needs a patch called any-any.. vers. 2.0 beta works but performance is pretty slow.. functional though. [06:33] ok i have the latest kernel version, make, automake, gcc and build-essential but i cant compile anything, it wont make any makefile execs, i run through the ./configure and it does its thing, then i type make and it says it cannot locate a makefile exec, its a fresh install and updated. [06:33] AeronTG: Wow. Debian sid? and automatix? What have you installed from each, do you know? [06:33] izinucs I've been using virtualbox this time around, probably why I'm out of date (speaking of which, _another_ kernel update !??!) [06:34] if anyone here is knowledgable with protpd(FTP server) I sure could do with some help getting mine configured correctly [06:34] nickrud, does virtualbox have usb support? [06:34] izinucs the one from sun does, not the open source edition (again, last time I looked at ose) [06:35] ok, so RPM bad, tarball good [06:35] SiegeX couldn't say it better myself ;) [06:35] I need help. Ubuntu Hardy Heron on HP Pavilion Notebook will not recognize Targus USB wireless mouse. [06:36] I'm running kubuntu and I did an update this morning before I ran out the door, it pulled in the 2.6.24-19 kernel and new nvidia drivers and now I can't log in to xorg... I get the kdm screen adn I can log on in a terminal, but I just keep getting kicked back to the kdm login screen now... anyone have any thoughts? [06:36] Flannel: i have no idea :) i went off trying to install automatix one time, the screenshots looked kind of neat....didn't do anything for me, though. [06:36] I cant install beryl, i add the repository list to synaptic, but when i try to connect to ubuntu.beryl-project.org to get the key in term, it times out [06:36] nickrud: hmm, what about something like checkinstall with a tarball? [06:36] mjbrooks clt-alt-f1, log in, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , then restart kdm. See if you can log in. [06:37] nickrud I just installed virtualbox, and the OSE version doesn't support USB. [06:37] SiegeX might work, never tried that with any really large package [06:37] i used that a few times on slackware to make tgz packages, im fairly sure it makes .deb [06:37] robuntu: any specific need for beryl instead of compiz ? [06:37] thanks nick I'll give that a shot [06:37] However, the closed source does and is still free. [06:37] AeronTG: Alright, we'll assume that's not there. Go ahead and remove that entry in your sources.list [06:37] Wispring: I don't know about proftp but what is the problem you're tring to solve? Out of curiosity... [06:37] glits: whats the diffrence, only because i have only heard of beryl [06:37] I've worked with proftp a few times [06:37] and how to get compiz? [06:37] But never got really got dirty with it. [06:37] ok, ill give that a shot then. Oh one more thing, what does the DVD give me that the ISO doesnt? Just a shitload of packages that I can d/l otherwise? [06:37] !compiz | robuntu [06:37] robuntu: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [06:38] SiegeX: Plus both installation methods, yeah. [06:38] SiegeX yes it does make debs, I've used it with make a couple times [06:38] kininja i am unable to connect to it while it is running...using default config [06:38] You mean like, trying to ftp to the proftp server once it's running and failing? [06:38] AeronTG: Alright, we'll assume that's not there. Go ahead and remove that entry in your sources.list And remove debian sid too. Thats... going to make upgrading *fun*. Do you know what you've installed from sid? [06:39] * nickrud cringes [06:39] kininja it shows as runing in the terminal, but when I try to connect via "ftp localhost" the connection is refused [06:39] Which one media center is the best for ubuntu? LinuxMCE or Lisa or Mythbuntu? [06:40] Flannel with automatix and debian, maybe a reinstall rather than upgrade would be in order? Just wondering [06:40] oh, there are multiple install methods? Im guessing one is your normal partition drive/install and the other is a liveCD with an option to make it permanent? [06:40] or something else? [06:40] Wispring: Perhaps it is not listening on localhost port 80? What about trying to connect to it's outside IP? [06:40] Ramzi: Will it be in the device manager? [06:40] Is the new firefox available on the updates? [06:40] nice88: Yes [06:40] SiegeX ncurses interface, very customizable or gui answer a few questions and go out for a coffee [06:40] I'm guessing it's not a firewall or it would timeout. [06:40] I have compiz, how do i open the manager? [06:41] Oh, sorry, proftp, not port 80 [06:41] nickrud: Yeah, Its definately leaning that way. Especially if hes on dialup. Downloading it onto a CD would be a lot more stable. [06:41] i need the dvd for ncurses? [06:41] cause id feel more at home with that since it sounds alot like the slackware install [06:41] How do i install it? [06:41] SiegeX: No, alternate CD [06:41] SiegeX or the alternate install cd. I always use that one for the ncurses [06:42] SiegeX something that's not obvious: in the install, if you hit escape enough times you get to the master install menu, very handy sometimes [06:43] Kininja it listens on port 21 according to the config file [06:43] On what IP address? [06:43] kininja, the ip of the machine the ftp server is running on. [06:44] I have compiz, how do i open the manager? [06:44] kininja how do i connect to it's outside IP? [06:44] Flannel I learned a lot mixing different debian releases, pinning and the like (and advanced aptitude usage). Not for the faint of heart, upgrading/downgrading across releases [06:44] !ccsm | robuntu [06:44] robuntu: ccsm is To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [06:44] robuntu: Sorry, that was a question for Wispring [06:44] ok [06:45] kininja you mean the numeric IP address(url)? [06:45] Flannel: can i just remove all lines that are commented out for the sake of cleaning up the file? [06:45] Is there a link for troubleshooting printer installation? My new Epson C90 will not print. [06:45] Wispring: Yeah, the numberic IP, but it probably won't matter. Would you be able to try a telnet to it? [06:46] I'm trying to edit the ubuntu menu with alacarte but it won't allow me, I opened it with terminal to see what is going on and it says permission denied when I tried to check or uncheck something? [06:46] kininja i would be willing...how is it done? [06:46] Well, that would probably do the same thing Wispring [06:46] open(undo_path, 'w').write(data) [06:46] IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/patrick/.local/share/applications/gnome-app-install.desktop.undo-0' [06:46] Wispring: I guess it's worth a shot but it'll probably have the same result: connection refused. In a terminal, run telnet 21 [06:47] AeronTG: Actually, it is probably best if you do a reinstall. This upgrade *may* work, but theres a good chance it wont work cleanly. Downloading the disk will allow you to do it via bittorrent, so you can download it in pieces, and also will give you something to use as a recovery if needed when thigns go south. [06:47] Wispring: Maybe it'll tell us something... [06:47] i'm in love with ubuntu desktop [06:47] how will windows xp ever please me again [06:47] Wispring: A quick example: telnet 192.168.1.7 21 [06:48] Flannel am i going to have to back up everything on my hard drive? [06:48] it won't [06:48] AeronTG: If you'd like to not reinstall, we can get you firefox 3 from the backports [06:48] Wispring: So... no '<' characters, sorry [06:48] Dezine did you ever run alacarte with sudo?

[06:51] hi. hoping someone can help with a weird problem. I'm running ubuntu 8.04 hardy 64bit, with ati radeon 9250 & latest ati fglrx propreitry drivers. For some reason, whenever anything goes fullscreen (including xchat) or a terminal or firefox is opened, the screen starts flashing black then normal again repeatedly. due to this I cannot even use firefox to google for help. does anyone know what could be going on? [06:51] The Add/Remove option somehow disapeared and I'm trying to get it back [06:51] Dezine if you're trying to check a submenu, check an item inside the submenu [06:51] Wispring: For some reason I'm not seeing your link [06:51] why i couldn't join this channel with my robot? [06:51] is there any type of tool that i can use to test all the hardware on my computer? its very strange and gives me alot of random problems for seemingly no reason [06:51] mjbrooks you might look at the log for gdm , /var/log/gdm directory [06:52] Flannel: pastebin -> http://pastebin.com/d2d442815 [06:52] I am unable to mount any DVD with ubuntu hardy.

[06:53] hello [06:53] Hey yall, anyone have this problem before, when i click switch user to lockout to the login screen after a few minutes the screen will go white. I can still type in a user name and password and it will dump me to that desktop. anyone? [06:53] nickrud: ah, I didn't see that one... I'll go check it thanks [06:53] good afternoon [06:53] Thanks though, it is letting me edit [06:53] Hey all, is there anyway I can access folders that says permission denied? I just need to put a file in a folder, and it won't let me.. [06:53] AeronTG: alright, you can get around having to back everything up by putting home onto a separate partition. Then during the install, you tell the installer you want to use that partition as your homedir, and *not* to format it. You'll reinstall "around" your homedir. [06:54] Are there any packet editors like WPE pro for ubuntu? [06:54] AeronTG: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ will get you onto a separate partition [06:54] Hey all, is there anyway I can access folders that says permission denied? I just need to put a file in a folder, and it won't let me.. [06:54] AeronTG: also, there's no excuse for not having backups in general, but I'm not going to get preachy ;) [06:54] !repeat | Auctionedllama [06:54] Auctionedllama: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[06:55] is it possible to permanently decline an update notification? [06:55] penny1: i guess like that copy/pasting your /var/log/Xorg.0.log into paste.ubuntu.com is going to be hellish, but can you try so we can take a look ? [06:55] I am unable to mount any DVD with ubuntu hardy. Cds work fine though. Mounting was fine under gusty and the dvds are burnt in windows. Anyone is able to help me? [06:56] ok, 1 minute [06:56] penny1: okay, no rush .. paste the url bach here when you're done [06:56] Auctionedllama, go to terminal, and use "sudo mv [path to ur file] [path to destination] [06:56] idyllic, is there any other way, because this gets annoying [06:56] slight correction on the error first. it doesnt matter what I run, but as soon as anything used the bottom quarter of the screen is when it does it. if I reduce the size of firefox to only use 3/4 of the desktop its fine [06:57] penny1, install pastebinit then in a terminal type cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit and it will return with a link address.... glitsj16 [06:57] anyone ever used the antiword rtf converter program [06:57] i am trying to access italic/bold text [06:57] i cannot make the -f option work [06:57] Auctionedllama, well u can get a nautilus script to open a root filemanager for you [06:57] penny1: odd indeed, i was thinking it might have something to do with X, that's why i asked for that log, thx for the clarification [06:57] would you like any glxinfo or other logs at the same time? [06:57] idyllic, where can I get that? [06:58] izinucs: thx, good suggestion [06:58] what's a good sftp program? [06:58] wasabi, gftp for a client .. proftpd for server.

Thx for the paste, i'll have a look and report back here [07:00] wasabi, wget might work faster [07:00] idyllic, ok it brings up a program runner for root.. now what? [07:01] Auctionedllama, type in your password and then you move your stuff. [07:01] izinucs, okay i will try that next time. thunar is a very minimal manager isn't it? [07:01] I am unable to mount any DVD with ubuntu hardy. Cds work fine though. Mounting was fine under gusty and the dvds are burnt in windows. Anyone is able to help me? [07:01] glitsj16, a dock as in panels? yes, the main menu and also the task panel is all bottom rather than top. it's actually my wifes pc and she wanted it set up as close to windows look as possible [07:01] I'm pretty sure I should have gone with 32bit instead of 64... [07:01] idyllic, swcheet, thanks aton [07:01] wasabi, yep.. command line copy is typically faster even if your using cp [07:02] Flannel I sort of know how to back up things, but don't really have any system in place. [07:02] izinucs, thanks for the tip i had no idea wget can be used for network transfer [07:02] penny1: okay, will go over the pastes first, give me a few minutes .. [07:02] I am unable to mount any DVD with ubuntu hardy. Cds work fine though. Mounting was fine under gusty and the dvds are burnt in windows. Anyone is able to help me?

I learn something new every day. [07:07] ... [07:08] penny1: quite a few warnings in there, but no clear errors .. i'm looking into the many 0's in your layout section .. please hold [07:08] AeronTG_: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome might be a better article. Certainly more detailed [07:08] izinucs, haha yep. [07:08] glitsj16, thanks [07:08] is there any way to swap joystick axes? nexuiz is thinking throttle is X Axis 2 [07:08] hello everyone, I am trying to get proftpd(FTP server) up and running and am having no luck...it is a minty fresh install with no changes to the default config....can anyone help me....right now i cannot connect to it [07:09] it's unusable that way, and setting up bindings doesn't work in nexuiz [07:10] Flannel doesn't seem that simple to me, maybe a little too risky. Perhaps i should just not bother with Firefox 3 :D [07:10] also glitsj16, if this is any help, xorg.log.0 is not adding any new warning or errors when this problem happens [07:10] Flannel: also my printer is not printing, so i can't print out those instructions [07:11] AeronTG_: Well, if you're uncomfortable, its always a good idea to just wait. Wait until you have backups, or whatnot. [07:11] penny1: okay, i see you use the proprietary fglrx driver, have you tried the ati or radeon one before ? [07:11] what program do I use to make a .deb archive? [07:11] hi all. i want to remove apps that do not belongs to desktop apps. is there any list? [07:12] if anyone here is familiar with setting up proftpd(FTP server) and could help me out that would be nice. It's a fresh install with the default config...problem i cannot connect to it [07:12] glitsj16, yes. found a number of problems caused with screen resolution refusing to go above 800x600@60 no matter what the conf said, even when mode was set. it was like X was ignoring the conf file [07:12] penny1: Xorg produces that log during boot, it doesn't add anything to it i believe, that's normal behaviour [07:13] ok, I thought maybe it would update when errors occur :) [07:13] Flannel it really seems that i am not going to be able to create the separate home partition without running the LiveCD......if I could so all while logged on here, that would be one thing. [07:13] penny1: ok, i'm going to check a few things and add some suggestions to your paste, could be 5 to 10 mnutes though [07:14] AeronTG_: That's correct. You can't tweak partitions that are mounted [07:14] np. I'll just duck outside for a smoke and coffee :) [07:14] lol, good move [07:14] failed in buffer_write(fd) blah blah. but I have tons of free space [07:14] glitsj16, will let you know when I'm back :) [07:14] i would gladly change to any FTP server program that would actually work [07:14] Hey!

[07:36] Auctionedllama: metacity --replace then aptitude purge emerald [07:36] sac_san: yeah, but they're not my ISP [07:36] i see [07:36] Noodles740: I guess you'll have to use manual mode then [07:36] im trying to adding it as new [07:36] thank you orphean, I will give it a try [07:36] i use auto [07:36] nope, not it but if foudn it! ctrl+alt +f1-f9 [07:36] new2linux: right click on your desktop there should be an option to align [07:36] negge: nup! the elisa multimedia software? [07:36] ugg thats a new logon screen [07:37] sac_san: aah:D unfortunetaly no [07:37] rageman: done that, but whenever there are new icons, it just scrumbled again [07:37] Metatron2: you got your screen working? [07:37] anyone know how to add trevino repositories.. [07:37] rageman: some new icons are there on top of the old icons [07:37] new2linux: I noticed that too, I wondered if it was just me or a bug [07:37] orphean, yes it worked! but it seems it killed my compiz [07:37] well even when i use manual mode, i get a message about there being a problem with the "root" file system or something like that [07:37] rageman: you just have to reposition the new icons, uncheck the allign and check the allign back again [07:38] Jaredu: if you know the address to the repository you just open a terminal and edit /etc/apt/sources.list [07:38] yeah, i got extra log on scren, i can log on multiple times and have like virtual terminals [07:38] negge: ok i'll ask from community [07:38] rageman: seems the allign option is not doing it's job [07:38] Metatron2: Run screen on the command line and you won't have to re-login each time.... ;-) [07:38] anyone using totems mythtv plugin? [07:38] new2linux: yeah I guess since otehr people are noticing that it must be a bug [07:38] negge: I've never added a repository so i have no clue how to go about doing that o.O [07:38] like irc on one and aptitude in another [07:38] Does any body know abt "ELISA" Multimedia software [07:38] Auctionedllama: that's odd. try compiz-decorator --replace [07:39] does screen need xorg, dont have it yet [07:39] rageman: how to report the bug? [07:39] orphean, will these deleted my configuration files for compiz? It seems its still here, just can't turn it on [07:39] Jaredu: Okay, then you can do it the other way by opening Synaptic and click Repositories or something like that, I don't know exactly what it says [07:39] maybe it will be fix and delivered on the next patch [07:39] it's not a big thing, but quite bothering [07:39] I've got a *very* bad problem on one of our production servers running Ubuntu Gutsy server. [07:39] what would be the apt line [07:39] Auctionedllama: no it shouldn't, emerald is a seperate thing entirely from compiz. [07:39] Jaredu: but basically all you have to do is open the sources.list file and paste the trevino repository address on a new line, then save the file and do sudo apt-get update [07:39] new2linux:apps/programming report bug [07:39] It seems that unknown hosts get resolved to the local machine itself. Anyone know what could cause this? [07:39] Metatron2: Nope [07:39] Maybe ncurses... but it should run on a console [07:40] The machine's IP is 218.54.139.105: attempt to resolve any unknown host resolves as 218.54.139.105… any help would be appreciated. [07:40] orphean, ok found it.. turns out all my configs for compiz were purged.. D: Thanks a lot though, just gotta reconfigure [07:40] Metatron2: Just run screen and then type Ctl + A and then the question mark (?) [07:40] need to install screen [07:40] Does any body know abt "ELISA" Multimedia software [07:41] new2linux: you can go to launchpad too and reprt bugs [07:41] does anyone know how to print directly to tiff using cups [07:41] i am trying to dual boot ubuntu with the pre-installed windows vista on my toshiba machine. the install of ubuntu goes great until i get to the partition utility, where ubuntu does not see the unallocated free space on my hard drive. is there any way to remedy this problem without totally deleting vista? [07:41] ha ha [07:41] hello [07:41] rageman: i think the launchpad a better idea, thx for sharing [07:41] so ya i insatlled those drivers and now my monitor is at 640*480 === Vic1ous is now known as Mordeths [07:41] Metatron2: Well, screen is an awesome program, I recommend it. Glad you found the real way though [07:41] Noodles740: sorry I forgot about you... If guided mode doesn't work you'll have to use manual mode to create the partitions === Mordeths is now known as Vic1ous [07:41] new2linux: yeah it might be a faster way to let em know and your welcome [07:42] anybody know how to get thin the title bar please? [07:42] in the default theme of ubuntu [07:42] Does (s)locate call a child process 'find' having user=nobody? [07:42] knows* [07:42] i still have problems there. [07:42] /part [07:42] Noodles740: what do you need help with? [07:42] it says there is a problem with the "root" file system [07:42] arlosmar: go to the fonts in apperance and select a smaller font for title bar [07:43] Noodles740: okay. Manually partitioning isn't that easy but it isn't that hard either. Basically you have to create two partitions on your free space, one is the main partition and the other the swap. When you create the main partition you have to set Mount point to "/" (without the quotes). That should solve your problem [07:43] RageMan it's true, i didn't think about this obvious idea [07:43] thanks [07:43] RageMan another interesting theme for ubuntu? [07:44] arlosmar:esco is a sweet thin title bar theme [07:44] hmmm ok _ryan_ so now the driver is installed, but my monitor is stuck on 640*480... [07:44] thank you... [07:44] and extra effects isn't turning on... :| [07:44] because with the default theme, when i receive a message in the msn, is difficult to see the intermitent color in the task bar [07:44] ill try that now.

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [08:03] * GreggHouse limps over to Elitest's gurney and pops some vikadin [08:03] None just seeing if I can help out [08:03] anathematic, when you created the key, you had to enter a passphrase [08:04] Elitest, You be Foreman then. [08:04] Bodsda: that's right but i didn't expect to have to enter the passpharse everytime i entered from now on? :< [08:04] George? [08:04] Nevermind, Elitest. [08:04] any answers on printing directly to tiff or jepg using cups? [08:04] does the passpharse have to be stored somewhere or something? [08:04] Haha [08:04] does anyone know why ubuntu cannot create the partitions necessary to install? [08:04] I have a quick question? after 5 or 6 months of using ubuntu with no problems, 3 days ago someone popped up in my network folder with there c drive folder, how did that happen? [08:04] snarkster, what do you mean? [08:04] anathematic, you dont, just the first time, you set the password keyring to remember it with a tick box on the box which asks for the passphrase [08:04] Noodles740: still having problems? [08:05] new problems. [08:05] what? [08:05] Bodsda: i'm using ubuntu server so i haven't seen any tick box [08:05] does apt-cache show show information from my system or from ubuntu repos?

[08:07] both [08:07] Hey I just made and sftp server, but even though i have the home directory set to a specific place. when connected people can still change to directorys i dont want available [08:07] Noodles740, it happens no matter which you pick? [08:07] sidneymccoy, and you can't see any networks? [08:07] how do i make only the default directory they go to and all sub-directorys of that the only ones available [08:07] ive done both, and get the same result [08:07] GreggHouse: Right I can print to PDF but then must convert the resulting pdf to tiff or jpeg.. time consuming. If i can get a tiff printer for windows there must be away to do it in linux [08:08] Noodles740: are you using a raid disk by any chance ? [08:08] Noodles740, its sound like a bad copy,.,. redownload, check with md5 burn at a slower speed, if that fails try the alternate cd [08:08] ajhtiredwolf: thats a technique called "chroot" [08:08] GreggHouse: both Wireless Networks and WiFi-Radar are grey [08:08] snarkster, Hmmm... Differential diagnosis: ...we need a brain biopsy [08:08] ikonia, hmm, what do i do exactly?

[08:17] ikonia, itself [08:17] ajhtiredwolf: the user your trying to connect as [08:17] ikonia, its in group name average [08:17] I just installed ubuntu on my gateway c140xl tablet pc with ATI mobilit radeon 2300 and everything went fine but when i start my system i get a blank screen when it tries to start x [08:18] ikonia, and its named average [08:18] ajhtiredwolf: what user account and group owns the actual home directory [08:19] sidneymccoy, come out of any application using sound, then type in a terminal killall pulseaudio i had the same problem and this fix's it, well for that session., the fix i used was to completely remove pulseaudio, its caused more problems then its solved tbh [08:19] at least, it fixed mine [08:19] ikonia, the directory is /media/files/FTPServer/average. the main group is average. THe user is average [08:19] ajhtiredwolf: and the permissions on average are 775 say ? [08:20] ikonia, not sure :-\ [08:20] ajhtiredwolf: as in chmod -R 775 /media/files/FTPServer/average [08:20] ikonia, no i did the sudo chmod 761 /media/files/FTPServer/average [08:20] ajhtiredwolf: ok, ajhtiredwolf do sudo chmod -R 775 /media/files/FTPServer/average [08:20] ajhtiredwolf, you should do the other one first then that one [08:20] ok so now it is on 1280*whatever. [08:21] but i still can't choose 1440*900 [08:21] Bodsda, alrighty [08:21] ikonia, alright i can connect now [08:21] so many ubuntuer here,, i am a beginner... [08:21] KC no worries [08:21] what's up? [08:21] welcome KC [08:21] ikonia, but i cna still cahnge directories [08:21] how can we help? [08:21] ikonia, like to the root directory [08:22] ajhtiredwolf: which root directory [08:22] ajhtiredwolf, yeah, but you cant do anything there? [08:22] ikonia, /root [08:22] Bodsda, dont think so, but i dont want anyone to view files on my computer :p [08:22] ajhtiredwolf: so you actually want to jail your user, not lock the permissions [08:22] ikonia, mm guess so [08:22] chroot? [08:22] ajhtiredwolf: you need to look into chrooting the users then [08:22] !chroot [08:22] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [08:22] ikonia, hows that done? [08:22] FAJALOU: thx [08:22] ajhtiredwolf: this will be quite a tedious task for you [08:22] ikonia, oh.. lame [08:22] ajhtiredwolf: Bodsda just posted a link [08:23] how tedious are we talking heh? [08:23] and thx Bodsda also.. lol [08:23] ajhtiredwolf: good 30 minutes to setup [08:23] KC: how do you like ubuntu so far? [08:23] anyone know a good way to convert large numbers of word files to plain text or html [08:23] ikonia, well i just want this to be really secure [08:23] ajhtiredwolf: then pay someone who knows what they are doing [08:23] so now i can get into nvidia-settings, so how can i use 1440*900? [08:23] RageMan: 2weeks.. [08:23] how can i increase the sudo password time limit [08:24] Metatron: I /think/ thats controlled via pam [08:24] type faster. [08:24] KC: have you dumped windows yet....took me all of 2 days to dump it. [08:24] ikonia, hmmm, so im not going to be able to make it secure? [08:24] and i hate vista, just like a fat women.. [08:24] Metatron, i no sudo -k resets it,.,. try man sudo [08:24] anyone from Argentina here ? [08:24] KC: ditto [08:24] k [08:24] "the default insatallation is suitable for most desktop or laptop systems. press F1 for hel and advanced installation options. To install only the base syste, type 'server' then ENTER. For the default installation, prss ENTER. boot:_" i'm assuming this means it's seeing the cd drive :) .. BUT what i need to do is put hardy on the SATA drive and get it to see the internet.. HOW? [08:25] RageMan: yeah,, [08:25] KC, RageMan -- sorry to be a pain, but could you use #ubuntu-offtopic for random chatter please [08:25] ajhtiredwolf: well, from what I'm reading your reasonably new to using linux, if you want it properly secure, I suggest you pay a proffesional to set it up, as learning on a required secure platform is not the best idea [08:25] apologies for bold.. don't know why mirc did that [08:25] SaraSmith, its not bold [08:26] ikonia, so this could open me up to being attacked ? opening up the ssh client is potentially dangerous? [08:26] SaraSmith: What ubuntu cd are you using, the desktop ? [08:26] what to do to get it to work? [08:26] SaraSmith what do u mean by see the internet, you mean in a command line install or server install? [08:26] Bodsda: np Im still new to this irc thing, and I do know better...my bad [08:26] so now i can get into nvidia-settings, so how can i use 1440*900? [08:26] ajhtiredwolf, whenever you allow anything but yourself to have any sort of access to your machine, its dangerous [08:26] ajhtiredwolf: any system resources on the interenet that is not secure, potentially dangerous, anything that can give shell access super dangerous [08:26] when i start hardy, i have 180+ processes, that goes up to 220+ as i work. am i using too many programs? what's the regular number of processes on hardy? [08:27] RageMan, its ok, its just this channel is for support, and #ubuntu-offtopic is for chatter ;~) [08:27] tech0007: depends on your setup [08:27] alright... so would an ftp be more secure then? [08:27] tech0007: I have 761 running by default [08:27] ajhtiredwolf: no, thats clear text, and still an exploitable resource [08:27] ikonia: i only added tilda..what! 761 by default? [08:27] tech0007: not by default, on my laptop [08:27] ikonia, i guess what im asking is, is doing this so dangerous that i shoudlnt even bother with it? [08:28] tech0007: but I'm using it show that you don't have a high process count [08:28] ajhtiredwolf: thats your call [08:28] ikonia, is there a way to turn it on and off easily like an ftp? [08:28] ajhtiredwolf: stop and start the ssh daemon [08:28] ikonia: ok..i only use this desktop to browse the internet and do some word processing... [08:28] tech0007: 200 is not a lot [08:28] ikonia, or maybe just close the port? [08:29] ajhtiredwolf: enable/disable a firewall blocking the port then [08:29] SaraSmith ? [08:29] ikonia it's a hardy cd, the computer is a desktop type [08:29] Hello, I want to make a custom Ubuntu based live CD. I have searched Google but could not find an easy way. Can someone help? [08:29] SaraSmith: which hardy cd, that doesn't look like the ubuntu desktop cd [08:29] ikonia, i mean i have port forwarding on right now, could just disable it, would that be sufficient you think? [08:29] is there a way to turn on my computer at 7:00 everyday? [08:30] ajhtiredwolf: well if you disable it there is no access to that port, so yes, thats the same as firewalling it in principal [08:30] SaraSmith what is your internet setup, broadband? wireless? ethernet? usb? [08:30] quinn: buy a power managment switch [08:30] I just installed ubuntu on my gateway c140xl tablet pc with ATI mobilit radeon 2300 and everything went fine but when i start my system i get a blank screen when it tries to start x. What could be wrong?!?!?! [08:30] i forgot it ,thx [08:30] quinn: see if your motherboard supports wake on lan, and ping it at 7:00 [08:30] moosah: ati drivers are whats wrong [08:31] what do i do about them? [08:31] ikonia, i have a try later [08:31] i will [08:31] !ati | moosah [08:31] moosah: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:31] Muhammad_Saad: look into UCK (Ubuntu Customization Kit), it's at http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [08:32] Can anyone explain all these audio layers? Why is this such a mess? ALSA OSS and PulseAudio... amoung others. Why so many? [08:32] BeBoBli ive been wondering that too [08:33] ikonia my husband showed me the CD .. it says ubuntu 5.10, i told him to make a new cd for 8.04. [08:33] ikonia, if i want to turn down my computer auto at the same time , what should i do ? [08:33] 'hardy'.. is so hard? [08:33] SaraSmith: yes, you need a hardy 8.04 desktop cd [08:33] quinn: cront "shudown -h now" [08:33] I have a setup running a 64-bit kernel but the user space stuff is 32 bit. Is there a way to upgrade everything to 64 bit without reinstalling? [08:33] quinn: cron [08:33] dts: not really [08:34] SaraSmith: how youdoing? [08:34] dts: a real install is the best way [08:34] ikonia, cron? [08:34] quinn: crontab [08:34] BeBoBli: i admit it isn't transparent, but with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 and http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup for guidance it can produce impressive results on simple hardware (that doesn't answer your question, io realize that :) ) [08:34] ikonia, daemon to execute scheduled commands, [08:34] the problem is ikonia that it's on a remote machine and i don't really have any other access too it [08:34] is there anyone knows how to mplayer a format RMVB movie normal, just got sound only, and no video.. [08:34] quinn: thats it [08:34] if you have ever told your spouse to make you an ubuntu CD you live in a foreign land [08:35] ikonia, thk you [08:36] Hi people. I have ubuntu 8.04 and my firefox has just been updated. Only the print problem is still there in my firefox. Is this a known problem? Is there a way to fix it? [08:36] khin: why ? whats the problem with asking your spouse to make (burn) a cd for you ? [08:36] SaraSmith: #ubuntu-women [08:36] BezNalogov: what is "the problem" [08:36] Hi all, does ubuntu have a special way of managing memory? http://rafb.net/p/XxSINL44.html <-- 2Gb total, 77MB free, 5MB buffers, 83MB cache, 330MB total RSS and 640MB swap ! [08:37] strawks: what's the issue with that ? [08:37] That it's not possible to print under firefox [08:37] I have a driver I am attempting to blacklist using "blacklist " in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist but everytime I lsmod | grep there it is, it just won't die [08:37] can someone help [08:37] glitsj16, Help anyways. Thanks. [08:37] BezNalogov: can you print outside firefox ? [08:37] I am trying to print to a network printer [08:37] Yes I can print in every program [08:37] This was a known problem in the beta version of firefox and would be fixed with the latest update [08:37] BeBoBli: it's a read, but it's worth it, hope it solves your sound issues [08:37] BezNalogov: Hmmm thats odd, as firefox should just use cups the same as every other [08:38] ikonia: 330MB resident used by progs, but only 165MB free (counting buffers and cache), who is using the other 1.5GB ? [08:38] Wait, let me show you what I mean [08:38] ikonia no problem. Just unique [08:39] Earlier someone suggested that the new kernel cleaned up the issues with Flash and sound. I'm still having the same problem (while a flash app is running nothing else has audio). Is there something I need to do to get the fix to work? [08:39] wow lots of people in here. who can i speak to about Synaptic Package Manager not loading? [08:39] strawks: I think the word "used" is miss-leading in the current kernel (not just ubuntu) think of it free as "controlled by the kernel" and free as "not allocated by the kernel" [08:39] !ask | Jubal [08:39] Jubal: 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. :-) [08:40] strawks: sorry, think of "used" as "controlled by the kernel" and "free" as "not allocated by the kernel" [08:40] strawks: does that make more sense ? [08:41] Keith: have you seen a suggested fix for flash sound hijacking at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 ? (Parts A and B specifically) [08:41] ikonia: I still don't understand why this system is swapping so much nor who is using that much ram [08:41] ikonia: I can't even malloc 200Mb without swapping [08:41] strawks: the system will swap out "unused" processes to disk [08:42] strawks: ooh, really, you can't malloc 200mb, thats not right [08:42] :) [08:42] firefox seems stuck in offline mode even though i can ping in the terminal. Using a USB modem and have configured a number of notebooks with same set up with no problems [08:42] Morning all [08:42] strawks: I'm paying more attention to what you've got running now [08:42] peacepipejv, File->Work offline [08:42] glitsj16: no I havn't, I'll read up [08:43] !ask when I go System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager I get a "Starting Administrative Application" message and then nothing afterwards. If I click on the "X Updates Available" tooltip (top-right corner) it will give me a list of things I can install, but selecting even just one and clicking "Install Updates" will just cause the window to become unresponsive. Is this a known issue? [08:43] Jubal: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:43] * X-Seti checks the forums [08:43] How do I install the 64-bit sun-jvm package on a 32-bit system which has a custom 64 bit kernel [08:43] ikonia: I'll try closing all apps and see what happen, but I doubt I'll see more than 400MB free or cached [08:43] ikonia, is there a way to set permissions for me to move files into and out of that directory ? [08:43] is there a way to find why a kernel module can't be unloaded? [08:43] ajhtiredwolf: sure, just put the write permissions on the target directory for the user you want to move [08:44] oops !ask didn't really work. Do others in this chan see what I typed just above? I don't want to spam by posting it all again. [08:44] yigal42: which module [08:44] strawks: just adding up what you've got running (not residial foot print, but in use memory) [08:44] mez: duh, thanks. I new it was somewhere. [08:44] whats the best way to backup ubuntu, not just whats been installed, but everything you have installed yourself, can you clone the partitions, even if you have a ntfs partition [08:44] ikonia: blacklist snd_atiixp_modem [08:45] yigal42: so you've put the module in the blacklist file, and rebooted yes ? [08:45] ikonia: I am using wifi, and it hopefully is making my sound fail [08:45] ikonia: yes [08:45] Is there a limit to the number of primary partitions on a hard disk? [08:45] yigal42: if you do a modinfo on it, what does it say ? [08:45] mohkohn: 4 on a dos label [08:45] mohkohn, one prim [08:46] when I go System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager I get a "Starting Administrative Application" message and then nothing afterwards. If I click on the "X Updates Available" tooltip (top-right corner) it will give me a list of things I can install, but selecting even just one and clicking "Install Updates" will just cause the window to become unresponsive. Is this a known issue? I'm quite new to Linux, sorry for bei [08:46] ikonia, is this like a chmod thing again for that directory? [08:46] ajhtiredwolf: thats right [08:46] ikonia: thank you [08:46] So it looks like multibooting linux, mac, xp and solaris is out of the question [08:46] ikonia, which number applys to which user? [08:46] ikonia: I will unload the dependencies first and cross my fingers [08:46] ajhtiredwolf: the username applys to the user, the numbers are the permissions read/write/execute etc [08:46] yigal42: thats what I'm thinking, yes [08:47] I've a question about dual-booting that may sound dumb, afterall I am still new to ubuntu and dual-booting in general. Right now I'm running with ubuntu as my main OS, is it possible to install windows XP to dual boot with, and maybe at a later time overwrite the windows XP partition with my ubuntu one so that ubuntu has control of my whole harddrive again? [08:47] yigal42: I don't know how dependencies override / if they overrid blacklisting [08:47] Kann somoene tell me how i can check whether i hafe blueteeth activated??? and how i kann de-aktivate it? Sanx [08:47] virtualbox is an option [08:47] ikonia, like sudo chmod *user* /directory/ ? [08:47] woops [08:47] I use Ubuntu + Gnome [08:47] ikonia: all I know is that I did blacklist it and it is installed, I'm fine with manually unloading it and then working out the details later [08:47] hi all i want to do A3 printing in ubuntu how i do this [08:47] ikonia, sudo chmod *user* *number* /directory/ [08:48] ajhtiredwolf: no, nothing like that, type "man chmod" to understand how to use chmod, or just use the nautlius gui [08:48] yigal42: try the deps [08:48] ikonia: much better : Mem: 2062792 257420 1805372 0 5500 73124 [08:48] strawks: ooh, I didn't think you'd get that much back [08:48] strawks: looks like something was hogging [08:48] ikonia: I don't know which process was doing that, maybe gvfsd [08:49] Hi... i'm going to have one last attempt at installing Ubuntu later... is there any prefered server known to be stable (before anyone asks i'm not concerned about Firefox)? [08:49] ikonia: you are already enjoin firefox3? [08:49] ikonia: or another, I killed some of my user process [08:49] yigal42: add "snd_atiixp_modem enable=0" to /etc/modules [08:49] When you allot part of your harddrive space to dual-boot, is it possible to overwrite that space with one of the two OS, giving them full control over the space and completely eliminating the other OS? [08:49] Kann somoene tell me how i can check whether i hafe blueteeth activated??? and how i kann de-aktivate it? Sanx [08:49] chazco you want servere or desktop, server has no gui [08:50] Desktop [08:50] anyone know why Update Manager is hanging on me? I click Install Updates to try and install samba-common and it just becomes unresponsive. [08:50] dpince, what you are talking about is possible. I am triplebooting at the moment [08:50] livingdaylight: 'dmesg | grep Bluetooth' [08:50] tech0007: is not gui for this? [08:50] ikonia: actually I think cache+buffers+free+total rss should be >= total memory-kernel memory [08:50] strawks: you could try playing with vm.swappiness and a few other settings as well .. http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2008/05/04/howto-set-up-hardy-for-speed/ [08:50] mohkohn: Ok, so if you decided that you only wanted one OS suddenly, could you give that one OS full control of the harddisk without reinstalling? [08:51] livingdaylight: you should see a bluetooth icon on the upper right on the panel [08:51] is there almost already enjoined firefox3? [08:51] glitsj16: ok I'll look at it [08:51] dpince: yes [08:51] thanks [08:52] tech0007: ?? i don't see bluetooth on panel [08:52] dpince: say you split a drive into two partitions, and install Linux on one and something else on the other [08:52] dpince you can used the gparted tool to add, or resize parttions [08:52] dpince: you could just reformat whichever partition you didn't want [08:52] grr I can't use update manager to install anything. Any ideas would be super. [08:52] livingdaylight: can u try 'dmesg | grep Bluetooth' on terminal [08:52] Good news. I'm forced to dual-boot windows XP for now, since I can't get a few things working in ubuntu...but once I get them fixed and working I'd like to eliminate my windows XP install and give ubuntu back all of the space. [08:52] tech0007: yes, i did [08:53] dpince: cool [08:53] Cheers :) [08:53] dpince: you can just format over the XP partition and mount it somewhere [08:53] livingdaylight: do you see any output [08:53] I just managed to get a 5th partion. I guess the iMac is not dos labeled. [08:53] dpince: or if you were using gparted you could resize the Ubuntu partition to swallow up the XP one [08:53] <___Alex___> what program do I use to edit disk partitions? [08:53] Exactly what I was hoping to hear, thanks a lot :) [08:54] tech0007: yes http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/940 [08:54] dpince also depending on your needs virtualbox might be an option for you. www.virtualbox.org [08:54] While we're on that note, does anyone have any experience with getting realtek HD audio drivers working? RIght now I can hear audio when I plug in headphones, but none from my speakers. [08:55] or 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose" [08:55] livingdaylight: it means bluetooth modules are loaded, whats your bluetooth device? [08:55] Can anyone tell me how to change my computer name? [08:55] tech0007: i don't use bluetooth device [08:55] tech0007: that is why i want to turn it off to optimize my resources [08:55] Not good for Windoze games though. but if you need outlook or office virtualbox can be good [08:56] Jubal: you mean hostname? [08:56] Jubal, you can try ' sudo aptitude upgrade [08:56] livingdaylight: system->administration->services [08:56] Jubal, My computer, cat and my password all have the same name. !@#dH&! and I change them all every thirty days [08:57] doesn't the cat get annoyed at this? [08:57] mohkohn: ok so how do you go about changing them? [08:57] Hi... i'm going to have one last attempt at installing Ubuntu later... is there any preferred server known to be stable which can help eliminate what i suspected to be broken downloads (before anyone asks i'm not concerned about Firefox)? [08:57] tech0007: that's what i was after... got it switched off now, thx [08:58] Does anyone know of an easy to set up news-server (NNTP) for intranet use? [08:58] livingdaylight: np [08:58] KC: I think so, every time i run something in terminal i see username@MEDIA. media is what i wish to change [08:58] sorry for the link [08:58] partition editor, anyone? [08:58] whats the best way to get internet explorer to run on ubuntu 7.10 [08:59] Jubal, for the hostname: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2008/01/12/how-to-change-your-computer-name-in-kubuntu/ [09:00] !ies4lin | xandorv_ [09:00] mohkohn: tyvm [09:00] The cat never listens to me and the password is on a yellow postit on the computer [09:00] xandorv_: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ [09:01] Factoid ies4lin not found [09:01] Now I am rebooting to see if my iMac will quadruple boot osx, ubuntu, xp and solaris [09:01] mohkohn: does the cat prefer to sleep in the warm bit by the coffee machine? [09:01] xandrov_: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [09:01] gordonjcp, depends on whether or not the two dogs are chasing him! [09:01] ttfn [09:01] xandrov_: it's the IE version for linux [09:02] Anyone play one of those old loki games on 64-bit ubuntu? [09:03] I am having the roughest time getting my moto4lin program working...Anybody have any success with it? [09:04] hello [09:04] Does anyone know of an easy to set up news-server (NNTP) for intranet use? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [09:05] Hello, is there a command to transform a symbolic link into a "true" link? [09:05] when of course the two entries are on the same file system [09:05] pabix: see 'man ln' [09:06] tech0007, I know that one, but I have many symbolic links in a directory, that are already present [09:06] man ln does not tell me how to turn them to links [09:07] g'day [09:07] holle gnuskool [09:10] pabix: do ln -h instead of ln -s [09:10] Dishivlatavish, thank you, I never saw the -h option in the manual [09:11] maybe I should not use manpages-fr [09:12] pabix: sorry in newer versions of ln, hard links are default [09:12] bom di [09:12] pabix: so simply doing "ln foobar link_to_foobar" will do it [09:12] halp [09:12] Dishivlatavish, but I am not the creator of those links [09:13] bom dia [09:13] The links have been made by a software that I cannot configure [09:13] er [09:13] and they are symbolic. Do I have to make a script to turn them hard? [09:13] well... [09:13] how many links are there? [09:14] http://screenlets.org/images/4/40/Min.jpg <-- those icons down there.. how can i have them arranged like those? [09:14] Oh, not many, but I intend to do that quite often [09:14] if you can write a script then that'd be good [09:14] is there a simple command, that tells me which file the symbolic link targets?

I "sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=right" to get two screens. Set the modes for the two screens to 1440x900 and 800x600. That works. I then change the 1440x900 resolution to 1920x1080 and reboot. But the screen is still 1440x900. xrandr reports that the screen could display 1920x1080. Why doesn't it change?

I just reinstalled hardy 32bit on my personal pc, but for some reason I only have a loop0 in /dev and no other loop devices. /etc/modules does not exist either to add the loop module into (as google searches stated). how do I create more loop devices? [10:02] wgrant: I don't see that changing, and I hate the new UI, so here we are. [10:02] jason__: If you use losetup, you should get more. [10:02] Hello [10:03] ok thanks wgrant [10:03] jason__: This is probably simply udev only creating device nodes when there is a corresponding device underneath. [10:03] I tried to rig a dummy DEB of gaim to have a higher version than the replacement package, but these things are beyond me. [10:03] Negromancer: Er, security fixes. [10:03] Running Gaim at this stage is truly foolish. [10:03] It is an Internet-facing application.

[10:05] wgrant, ok, sorry to be a pain, but how do you use losetup to create a loop device? [10:05] Nurionn: It will not. [10:05] I was hoping someone who's better with packages than I could might be able to show me how to unpack a deb and change its version number. [10:06] Nurionn: It is in Hardy as of several hours ago, however. [10:06] jason__: 'sudo losetup somefile' should do you fine. [10:06] how can i make something get "launched" or a command get executed when i exit an application? [10:06] lol, thought that, but no go. [10:06] sudo losetup 1 [10:06] loop: can't open device 1: No such file or directory [10:07] wgrant: I know about hardy... (my update-manager told me that) - but is there a special reason, why it wont come out for gutsy? [10:07] tried loop1 as well as 1 [10:07] jason__: It should be a real file. [10:07] Hey guys, got FF3 downloaded for my windows and mac, is there going to be a download for ubuntu? In time for the download firefox day, record attempt? [10:07] hello [10:07] I have a deb of my preferred version, if I can just rig it to think it's .1 higher than the fake package that just installs pidgin, I'd be set. [10:07] is it not recommendet? [10:07] Nurionn: Because we don't want to break millions of users' machines. [10:07] I'm running a dual boot machine, gonna format an external HD as a NTFS would I be better formatting in under windows or ubuntu or will it make no difference? [10:07] can someone here help me plz? [10:07] However, if I can recall correctly, my marks for Expt 2 was about the same as Expt 3. [10:07] ok, so create a blank file then run that? [10:07] Nurionn: We have a policy where we do not do major dangerous upgrades in stable releases. [10:07] jason__: Or the file you want to loop-mount. [10:07] is there anything wrong with my grammer? [10:07] However, if I can recall correctly, my marks for Expt 2 was about the same as Expt 3. [10:07] any grammer mistakes?

[10:11] xandorv_: You could download the Linux build from Mozilla, or upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04. [10:11] !ff3 [10:12] The latter should give a much better and more integrated experience. [10:12] Firefox 3 Final is currently mirroring to the package repositories. Please be patient. For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. [10:12] wgrant: does mkswap update the uuid for me? [10:12] -_- [10:12] the_eraser: It will generate a new UUID. [10:12] I downloaded FF3 from the mozilla website, how do I install it? [10:12] wgrant: ok thx [10:12] mysterycool: It should be available to most Hardy users by now. [10:13] wgrant: It is, I just downloaded, but there is not guide for installation. [10:13] mysterycool: I meant through the normal update process. [10:13] bloodboy, alternately, /join ##english [10:13] mysterycool: Don't install it manually. Upgrade through the repos instead [10:13] sudo apt-get update [10:13] My computer has 4 USB 2.0 ports, but lspci displays 3 USB 1.1 and 1 USB 2.0, can someone help me resolve this? [10:13] I did, didnt work :S [10:14] apinunt: Those are USB controllers, not ports. [10:14] chipset driver [10:14] mysterycool: Which Ubuntu release are you using? [10:14] wgrant: if i want to set uuid manually in fstab, how can i see what number the filesystem is actually using? [10:14] wgrant: Hardy [10:14] mysterycool: Wait a day or two then. The mirrors have it, it may take some time for *your* mirror to get it [10:14] the_eraser: Use vol_id. [10:14] I got it soon as i reformatted [10:14] Flannel: They did have it. [10:14] wgrant: ok [10:14] Soon as i started back up it was there waiting as a update [10:14] wgrant: You're correct, can I determine if the ports are USB2 or 1? [10:15] mysterycool: How do you know it didn't work? [10:15] Check your motherboard specs [10:15] apinunt: You could plug a device in, and use lsusb to work out which controller it pops up on. [10:16] wgrant, doing compiz --replace and then closing the terminal makes the interface look a bit messed up :P [10:16] db92, add & after it [10:16] bazhang, whats that going to do? :P [10:17] Which graphic driver is the best to use with 8.04 for a 8800 GT nVidia? [10:17] db92: I generally use Alt+F2 to get a Run dialog. [10:17] monster1g: THe nvidia proprietary driver. [10:17] RogueX: Are chipset drivers required in Ubuntu? and if so how are they installed? [10:17] apinunt: They are not. [10:17] monster1g, the one from nvidia [10:17] wgrant, where can i find that? [10:17] monsterlg, Theres a new linux one on there site [10:17] monster1g: System->Administration->Restricted Drivers. [10:18] bazhang, thanks that actually helped, whatever it may have changed :P [10:18] How can I rename my USB-stick? [10:18] db92: It stops the process from terminating when terminal closes. [10:18] wgrant, i dont see resticted drivers in the administration [10:18] db92: Basically, it detaches it from the terminal. [10:19] monster1g: Oops, it's "Hardware Drivers" these days. [10:19] wgrant: lsusb has 5 lines of display but I can't relate any info to a particular controller or USB 1 or 2 [10:20] apinunt: Blurgh, you're right. I'm not sure then, sorry. [10:20] wgrant, is there supposed to be more than 1 option or no. [10:20] hello [10:20] monster1g: It depends. [10:20] Hi newbeginer [10:20] i just burn the fresh ubuntu into cd. [10:20] monster1g: It will display as many as necessary. [10:21] seem it works when i boot into live cd [10:21] How might one go about fixing a problem that seems to be related to cat5 cord compatability? [10:21] DaveKong: Rethinking that hypothesis, probably. [10:21] now i have a problem, ubuntu cannot detect my wireless [10:21] DaveKong: What gives you the idea? [10:21] my wireless is intel proset [10:21] newbeginer: What kind of wireless card do you have, and is there anything in System->Administration->Hardware Drivers? [10:21] newbeginer: How old is the laptop? [10:21] new one [10:22] And what brand? [10:22] HP? [10:22] wgrant, im going to restart. . i shall be back with news promptly. [10:22] acer [10:22] monster1g: Great. [10:22] newbeginer, open a terminal and type lspci and then paste that to paste.ubuntu.com (give us the url) [10:22] when i issue a command $ rfcomm connect 0 BB:BB:BB:BB:BB 1 , it waits for a while and gets disconnected... do any one know why it happens like that,,,, i am using ubuntu 8.04 [10:22] allright [10:22] newbeginer: Is there a button anywhere to turn the wireless on and off? [10:22] wait [10:22] wgrant: swap's is on now thx :-) [10:22] yes [10:22] the_eraser: np [10:22] i turn the wireless button on but no light [10:22] newbeginer: Press it, and wait a few seconds. [10:22] And see if the wireless device appears in Network Manager. [10:22] someone got a problem, he said he unable to use sudo permission. i thought this guy must be changed default IP for Internet. [10:23] In most case's what directy does wine save windows aplications ? [10:23] KC: I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. [10:23] RogueX: Save Windows applications? What? [10:23] Where does it save them [10:24] in avant-window-navigator, is there an applet that makes the bar show the windows that are open? [10:24] RogueX: Your virtual C: is in ~/.wine/drive_c [10:24] wgrant: someone could not use 'sudo' permission in terminal.. [10:24] Ty [10:24] wgrant I have 4 cables that are I thought all the same and four ports and only one cable works for the laptop they all work for the desktop the ports do not matter [10:24] KC: Are they in the admin group? [10:24] i type ispci and it shows command not found [10:24] yeah,, [10:24] list [10:24] newbeginer, l (L) not i [10:24] DaveKong: Are some of them crossover cables, perhaps? [10:25] KC: What is the precise error message? [10:25] wgrant I looked at the colors on them and they appear to be straight [10:25] oic [10:25] ok [10:25] wait [10:25] wgrant and if one were why would that make it special to one computer? [10:25] DaveKong: If some work and not others, it's a dodgy cable. [10:25] newbeginer, dont paste here [10:25] !paste | newbeginer [10:25] newbeginer: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [10:25] wgrant: Looking at my motherboard users guide it claims to have an integrated USB 2.0 controller, supporting 6 ports, 2 front and 4 rear. I hadn't noticed the other 2 in the rear. [10:25] ãû à ãäå ðóññêèå? [10:25] wgrant: echo package-to-be-held hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections, for reference. [10:25] when i issue a command $ rfcomm connect 0 BB:BB:BB:BB:BB 1 , it waits for a while and gets disconnected... do any one know why it happens like that,,,, i am using ubuntu 8.04 [10:25] wgrant: sudo: unable to resolve host XXXXXXX [10:26] Hobbsee: Is that different from aptitude's holding? [10:26] KC: Aha, running Ubuntu 8.04? [10:26] wgrant: yes [10:26] wgrant: /usr/share/wine ? [10:26] KC: It's particularly easy to fix in 8.04. [10:26] wgrant: yeah. [10:26] Hobbsee: Oh good. [10:26] RogueX: No. [10:26] wgrant: it's at dpkg level [10:26] it shows many thing [10:26] wgrant what confuses me is why they work for the other computers but on the one does for the laptop and how to make it so the laptop works with any of them (the one it works with is very short) [10:26] so i need to copy? [10:26] KC: OK, get said user to run 'hostname' to identify the hostname, and it it as an alias for 127.0.0.1, in System->Administration->Network. [10:26] wgrant, i have returned. =) [10:26] newbeginer, what number for intel wifi [10:26] wgrant: yeah, i know, just need edit the file /etc/hosts [10:26] KC: That nicely bypasses sudo, to edit /etc/hosts. [10:27] lol [10:27] <3 PolicyKit [10:27] same way.. [10:27] i don know which one [10:27] newbeginer, then paste the entire thing to paste.ubuntu.com [10:27] how do i keep track of open windows (as in what "Window list" does for gnome-panel) ?? [10:27] ok [10:27] wait [10:28] babolat: In AWN? You might better of asking in an AWN channel, as nobody here seems to be aware. [10:28] yes, wgrant [10:28] wgrant: im there.. it's silent as a lamb [10:28] wgrant: the way same as me..but someone of here still not come back. [10:28] lol [10:28] Which directory am i looking for wgrant i cant seem to find wine [10:28] KC: Hm? [10:28] I have a problem. I have setup vsftpd and the user can access his home directory, read the content of the directory and even download files but he's unable to create a file. He has the permission in this directory .. anybody has a clue ? [10:29] RogueX: /home/yourusername/.wine/drive_c [10:29] roger: do ctrl-h to show hidden files and folders [10:29] RogueX: [10:29] teamz: vsftpd is probably set in the configuration to disallow writes by default. [10:29] RogueX: do ctrl-h to show hidden files and folders [10:29] wgrant would the cable saying "enhanced cat5 utp" mean anything? for some reason being enhanced makes it work? [10:29] wgrant: nothing... lol [10:30] DaveKong: That's CAT5e. That will mean it will work for Gigabit over 100m, whereas CAT5 doesn't. [10:30] It shouldn't make any difference for short lengths. [10:30] DaveKong, why not ask in ##hardware [10:30] # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command. [10:30] write_enable=YES [10:30] i have problem to copy the file [10:30] bazhang alright I will I am just sorting out what exactly is going on or trying to [10:31] I fixed it [10:31] no idea why it works though [10:31] newbeginer: what are you trying to do? what error do you get? [10:31] I changed the permissions of the group to +w [10:31] babolat: AWN by default only displays icons for running apps I believe. You need awn-manager to add Launchers, etc. [10:31] i try to copy in text document [10:31] inside my usb drive [10:31] Is it possible to install beryl on 8.04 ? [10:31] DistroJockey: is that not included in the default package? [10:32] monster1g: No. [10:32] then when i plug into computer with window running [10:32] monster1g: Beryl is long dead. Use Compiz instead. [10:32] monster1g: compiz-fusion has replaced beryl [10:32] i cannot open the file [10:32] babolat: not entirely sure, but I think not [10:32] wgrant, can tell im new ;) [10:32] i'll go consult synaptic, DistroJockey [10:32] babolat: but what you wanded should be the default behavior [10:32] newbeginer: where is this text document located? [10:32] How do i enable effects for closing windows ? [10:32] hi all [10:32] inside my usb drive [10:33] It's really awesome how my master mute refuses to mute movies or flash or pretty much anything using pulse. [10:33] is there anyone could help me, my problem is while i watch a video by MPlayer, but no screen for me, just sound.. the format of video file is RMVB. [10:33] monster1g: You could install simple-ccsm. [10:33] I'm not here for a solution so much as to mock it because that's just ridiculous. [10:33] newbeginer: and when you plug in your usb flash drive it's not mounted? [10:33] !ccsm | monster1g [10:33] monster1g: ccsm is To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [10:33] BeBoBli: Then you're not welcome here. [10:34] I think so! I support Ubuntu to my fullest. [10:34] <_link> hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu on a dell 1720 laptop, and i'm getting the "could not allocate tty" error. Googled abit and found that i need to add break =top to the boot line, then type modprobe piix; exit into the busybox. The thing is that ubuntu still doesnt load, and its because it doesnt support the 8600 nvidia card. [10:34] I just solve the problem with a simple dial is all. [10:34] BeBoBli: This is a support channel, not one for complaining uselessly. [10:34] Oh hmm [10:34] where do i report wine bugs to? [10:34] i have an ubuntu server that i rented, and when i ftp/sftp and try to download something, it doesnt pass 250 kbs/s and its on a 100 mbits connection and my net connection is 16 mbits, so shouldn't i get it around my top speed? i tried winscp and flashfxp [10:34] BeBoBli, take chat elsewhere [10:34] Where would I go then? Is there a more general channel for ubuntu? [10:34] ksoviero: winehq.org [10:35] !ot | BeBoBli [10:35] BeBoBli: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [10:35] xiownthisplacex: How far apart are you, geographically? [10:35] Thank you DistroJockey! [10:35] maybe 1500 kms [10:35] BeBoBli: np [10:36] <_link> The thing is that i need to modify the xorg.conf file, but dont know when to do that. Any ideas? [10:36] i create a new document at ubuntu and paste those funny list coming out after i type lspci. then i tried to save it and unplug and plug the computer with windows internet on. i tried to open the file inside usb after it mount by the windows. but tht is not text file icon. so i don know how to open it. [10:37] <_link> hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu on a dell 1720 laptop, and i'm getting the "could not allocate tty" error.

[10:37] <_link> The thing is that i need to modify the xorg.conf file, but dont know when to do that. Any ideas? [10:37] hi all i want to do A3 prinitng from ubuntu 8.04 from windows it works [10:37] newbeginer: try renaming the file and add ".txt" without the quotes at the end of it (if it's a text document) [10:37] newbeginer: right-click on it and choose Open with... then select Notepad [10:37] newbeginer, is the ubuntu machine connected to the internet [10:38] generic: What's wrong with it in Ubuntu? [10:38] no. [10:38] bazhang: The whole issue is that he has no wireless. [10:38] not connect yet [10:38] because using the wireless [10:38] <_link> meh [10:38] grant, i seem have ccsm installed but the effects are not working, can you help me? [10:38] wgrant, aye; helped him burn the cd yesterday :) [10:38] monster1g: Do you have Compiz running at the moment? [10:38] bazhang: Oho. [10:39] little blue box top right corner? [10:39] monster1g: ie. Windows shadows? [10:39] monster1g: Never seen that... [10:39] anyone ever seen color codes (in gtkrc from themes) like #e666e666e666 before ? doesn't look close to hexadecimal .. [10:40] i tried copy n paste it into open office and see how it works or not in the windows [10:40] can you walk me through it? [10:40] glitsj16: 48-bit colour? How odd. [10:40] monster1g: Do you have shadows behind your windows at the moment? [10:40] it's kinda hard to understand what he's saying [10:40] newbeginer, open a terminal and type ifconfig how many entries do you see (2 or 3) [10:40] no [10:40] wait now i do [10:41] monster1g: If you have them, settings in CCSM should work fine. [10:41] wgrant am i far away for it to be going slow? [10:41] wgrant: exactly, ah well, i'll try putting in some others and see what gives [10:41] glitsj16: Very strange, indeed. [10:41] hey, can someone tell me how to install Lua on ubuntu? [10:41] hi in which folder are stored the installed programs? [10:42] ive been searching around but cant find it. [10:42] xiownthisplacex: Hard to say - the Internet does not operate line-of-sight. [10:42] madadam: They are installed in locations throughout the system. Synaptic can tell you which files belong to a particular application. [10:42] there is ctho,lo,wlano,wmaster [10:42] wgrant: xiownthisplacex: try a tracert ? [10:42] i don know this is the thing u want [10:42] yea, but, do i have to configure something for it to speed up? [10:42] newbeginer, eth0 lo wlan0 and wmaster? [10:43] yes [10:43] veggteppey: Tried searching for lua in Synaptic? [10:43] veggteppey: Hardy? [10:43] the desktop seems to be froze -.- [10:43] xiownthisplacex: you may have luck disabling IPv6 (I did miss the issue you were having though) [10:44] •DistroJockey• i said: i have an ubuntu server that i rented, and when i ftp/sftp and try to download something, it doesnt pass 250 kbs/s and its on a 100 mbits connection and my net connection is 16 mbits, so shouldn't i get it around my top speed? i tried winscp and flashfxp [10:45] newbeginer, when you type sudo dhclient wlan0 do you get any dhcpoffers? [10:45] wgrant i'm asking because i've donloaded an archive containing a program written in java, that work without installation, where can I put the unzipped folder? [10:45] madadam: Just put it in your home directory anywhere. [10:45] It doesn't matter. [10:46] u mean inside terminal type sudo dhclient wlan0 [10:46] newbeginer, aye [10:47] xiownthisplacex: are you sure it's kb/s and not kB/s ? Try a tracert to the server to see if there are slow systems inbetween [10:47] kilobytes === aasvero_ is now known as aasvero [10:47] xiownthisplacex: Ahhh, that's KB [10:48] ok, did a tracert, got 15 hops, how do i c if there are slow systems though? [10:48] kb is 8 times slower :P [10:48] yea, sorry, my bad [10:48] ok wgrant [10:49] veggteppey: Thanks. [10:49] it's show some list and said no dhcpoffers receive [10:49] so how do i run lua thru terminal? [10:49] newbeginer: Is your wireless visible in Network Manager? [10:50] veggteppey: Starting with lua before you understand a terminal is probably slightly unwise. [10:50] xiownthisplacex: I guess tracert is maybe not the best tool for working out throughput speeds [10:50] nonono:P [10:51] xiownthisplacex: gives and indication of server response times mainly [10:51] hey [10:51] good news [10:51] newbeginer, got a lease? [10:51] wait [10:52] DistroJockey so there is nothing i can do to improve speeds? [10:52] garrys mod 10 in wine? [10:52] i found my wirelss router [10:53] then i connect n put the password [10:53] using sudo how do i become another user [10:53] Why doesnt gnome-terminal load .profile when started? Cant use my aliases if i dont "source .profile"... [10:53] XB23: sudo -i -u someuser [10:53] ty [10:53] RandyboY: Is that perhaps only done on login? [10:53] xiownthisplacex: do you get the full 16mb to your ISP? [10:53] yes [10:53] it's show wep128, wep64/128bit hex, wep64/128-bitascii, leap [10:53] which one do i choose [10:53] wgrant, i have to do it every time i open a new terminal in gnome [10:54] newbeginer: It won't be ther last one, but you should know which it is... [10:54] RandyboY: Even if you log out and in? [10:54] newbeginer, we have no way of knowing; whatever is set in your router [10:54] wgrant, regular ssh login uses the .profile [10:54] xiownthisplacex: then, I don't think so [10:54] wgrant, yes [10:54] wgrant i cannot print on A3 no idea but when i print on A3 it prints 2 pages in A4 do i need to set orinter trays [10:54] RandyboY: That's a new login, right. [10:54] wgrant, can i try to start lua in terminal? if so, whats the cmd?^^ [10:54] yeah [10:54] wgrant: lua [10:54] Er. [10:54] I suck. [10:54] veggteppey: lua [10:54] wgrant: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:54] ok, i guess i just dont have any luck lol [10:54] haha [10:54] Objection! [10:55] Hi [10:55] Hi gidna. [10:55] Why receive I this error /tmp/001-1.wmv could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.? [10:55] i dont seem to be able to set my keybord to the uk layout i am stuck using the us config with a uk keybord can any advise please [10:55] gidna: Probably because you managed to remove the application with which you last opened it. [10:55] vallhalla81: Does SYstem->Preferences->Keyboard not help? [10:56] wgrant, even the first time i open the terminal it doesnt use .profile. (After logged in on welcome screen.) [10:56] no.. [10:56] gidna: What if you right-click on it, and select an alternate application? [10:56] DistroJockey if i use iroffer or rtorrent, i can upload (from the server to me) at 1.5 MBs/s (more or less) but i don't know why ftp doesn't pass 250 KBs/s [10:56] I can save it and watch it.. [10:56]  wgrant: no when i add uk then try to select it it does nothing not even show it is selected just stays on us [10:56] Ra# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login [10:56] # exists. [10:56] but I can't open and watch direclty [10:56] RandyboY: ^^ [10:57] guy [10:57] vallhalla81: Select it, then? [10:57] i think i oledy online with ubuntu [10:57] wgrand, i aint able to start it in terminal, only getting copywright things [10:57]  wgrant: i keep trying still nothing [10:57] xiownthisplacex: hmm [10:57] vallhalla81: Click on the UK default option button. [10:57] !yay | newbeginer [10:57] newbeginer: Glad you made it! :-) [10:57]  wgrant: still nothing [10:57] i choose wep64/128bit hex, [10:58] vallhalla81: What do you mean? [10:58] wgrant, i know. Was looking for bash_login, but its not there. Therefore i thought .profile would be next used. All i have there is bash_history and bash_logout. [10:58] xiownthisplacex: ftp is an old protocol, maybe it has limits? [10:58] so do i need to copy the stuff just now and paste to the ubuntu pastebin? [10:58] hy guys n girls [10:58]  wgrant: is stays on us and wont move to uk [10:58] vallhalla81: Oh, it might only affect newly opened applications. [10:58] vallhalla81: Unless you manually force it to switch for each, but it's probably easier just to restart them. [10:58] newbeginer, if your wireless works then you can install once you have found out about your wireless card [10:58] newbeginer: Not if it works. [10:58] DistroJockey so what should i use? i already tried sftp.. [10:58]  wgrant: nope it wont afect anythin [10:58] newbeginer, err video card [10:59] xiownthisplacex: nfs? [10:59] vallhalla81: Even if you open a new application, after selecting UK as the default? [10:59] don't know what that is :s [10:59]  wgrant: yep even then [10:59] !nfs | xiownthisplacex [10:59] xiownthisplacex: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [10:59] i wonder why my wireless no light when inside ubuntu???

[11:13] okay, i want to install now [11:13] wgrant, do you know if there is a way for it to say which box is which [11:14] i only see bar graphs [11:14] anyone here can help? [11:14] u007: If it needs .so, then it's not statically linked. [11:14] newbeginer: If you need help, just ask here. [11:14] monster1g: It only displays bar graphs. [11:14] ok, thank you [11:14] monster1g: You can enable other bar graphs in the preferences. [11:14] wgrant - i've --enable-static .. thats not static?

This is good. [11:16] wgrant - i want to compile ffmpeg in a package.. and use it [11:16] u007: Why not just install ffmpeg from the repositories?

[11:17] wgrant: Indeed... too bad gxchat can't help me fix nagging broken-ness on my system :( [11:17] wgrant - ... my manager idea.. :( [11:17] u007: ffmpeg is one of the most braindead pieces of software around - you'd have to ask them. [11:17] altecyrae: What's broken? [11:17] i restart the laptop oledy [11:17] what should i need to do [11:18] wgrant: At the moment, Opera:QuickTime, Opera:Flash, Localization, and the GPG for the Ubuntu Security archives [11:18] And Google has been little help so far [11:18] wgrant - i've no way, but to ask them? :( [11:18] i want to make my laptop dual boot windows and ubuntu [11:18] wgrant - it would be nice to have something like firefox had in 1 download zip.. [11:18] dual boot? [11:18] altecyrae: Well, we can't do much about non-free software such as Opera. [11:19] newbeginer: The installer will let you do that easily. It will ask if you want to resize the existing Windows partition. [11:19] just quick one. if i can "see" an exchange server via network, can i connect to it via a mail client...? what if its not using OWA...

[11:22] newbeginer6: No. [11:22] newbeginer: You could use IMAP in pretty much any email client. [11:22] Ergh, netron1234 ^^ [11:22] errr, so i direct install ubuntu? [11:22] imap requires an ip address. is there a way of looking up an ip addy of an smb:// box? [11:22] without defrag my hardisk on windows? [11:23] hum... got a pretty basic questin, but I can't find the answer anywhere... How do I use a 64bits kernel with my 32bits Ubuntu Hardy installation? [11:23] netron1234: It does not. You can enter a hostname. [11:23] Babar: Why would you wish to do that? [11:23] newbeginer6: you dont need to defrag. but do you mean partition? [11:23] wgrant: I want to try a 64bits kernel (got 4 Gb ram) [11:23] not partition [11:23] wgrant: like the windows domain hostname... e.g. exchange1.aether.tirgl? [11:24] mhh I need a EEEPC [11:24] i mean make a preparation on windows like backup and defrag hardisk first before install ubuntu [11:24] Babar: 4GB of RAM is not really a good enough reason to go 64bit [11:24] techno_freak: The DNS hostname. [11:24] DistroJockey: may I be the one to judge it? [11:24] wgrant, me? [11:24] Babar: sure :) [11:24] How do /var/log/syslog and /var/log/syslog.0 relate? My /var/log/syslog is rather silent.

[11:25] hi all [11:25] techno_freak: Erk, too many people. It was a typo, sorry. [11:25] altecyrae: a cron script runs every day. it cut the file syslog and save the former records as file syslog.0 . [11:25] wgrant, no problem :) [11:25] oops .. [11:25] AutumnCat: I think you mean bullgard4, not altecyrae [11:25] wgrant -> but if all you have is the smb name, how can you figure out what the ip addy is? [11:26] altecyrae: yes [11:26] netron1234: The SMB name is probably quite similar. [11:26] AHH - got it wgrant.. no worries. did an nmap scan.. found it. [11:26] bullgard4: a cron script runs every day. it cuts the file syslog and saves the former records as file syslog.0 . [11:26] netron1234: Otherwise, nmblookup may be your friend. [11:26] wgrant [11:26] hello [11:27] im doing the tutorial for python, but somethings i dont understand:P [11:27] i have never koded or anything b4, so im just thinkin, when i do 'spam eggs' f.eks, were would i need that cmd? not spam eggs ofc:P but something different in it [11:27] DistroJockey, wgrant: in fact, my question is more: can I install and run a 64bits kernel, or do I have to reinstall everything? [11:27] hey, I have just built another machine to act as a file server, now I want to be able to set it up so I can access it remotely from another ubuntu box on the same network. What is the best way of doing this? X forwarding, VNC, something completely different? [11:27] wgrant -> thanks... yup nmblookup -A worked. awesome. thanks. [11:28] hey all, i am trying to uninstall mpd and i am getting an error. . . something about "mpd.conf must have a pid_file set, cannot stop deamon. . ." [11:28] zoiks -> try fish://ip_address in konqueror. [11:28] Babar: You should be able to run a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userspace fine. [11:28] AutumnCat: Ah, ok, understood. -- Can you also tell me who or what determines what set of messages will be included in syslog? [11:29] Babar: you could, with the 64bit kernel modules also [11:29] netron1234: This isn't #kubuntu. [11:29] netron1234: im using ubuntu not kubuntu [11:29] i dont know what the problem is cause its causing problems with sonata. . . it wont load at all so trying to remove everything and reinstall but it wont let me uninstall mpd [11:29] zoiks -> also ,try sshfs [11:29] Zoiks: For files, use Nautilus (the usual file browser). Just open up sftp://yourserver [11:29] wgrant: is that similar to using samba shares? [11:29] anyone know how to install drftpd? [11:30] bullgard4: man syslog.conf , man syslog. I don't know very much , either. [11:30] hi, is there a way to resume a file copy between mounted file-systems? [11:30] I want 2 ways of access, simple samba sharing and a way to actually take control to maintain the system [11:30] AutumnCat: Thank you very much for your help. [11:30] Zoiks: Yes. [11:30] how can i make a command get launched/ran(or whatever) when a process ive launched ends? [11:30] Zoiks: Why use Samba at all, if you're not using WIndows? [11:31] Zoiks: For maintenance, use SSH. [11:31] AutumnCat: ? [11:31] Kelen: ? [11:31] bullgard4: you're welcome. :) [11:31] because other computers in my house to use windows wgrant [11:32] DistroJockey: I agree the 4Gb limit is not worth the upgrade, but I will gain about 1 Gb ram, and might have some other improvement. My question is more: how do I use a 64 bits kernel? The linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic is said to be for both 32 and 64, but how do I "force" 64bits? [11:32] is there a way to watch flash movie without installing the adobe flash plugin? [11:32] Zoiks: Ah, but there's no reason to use Samba from your Ubuntu machine. [11:32] Babar: It isn't 64-bit. === Ganesh is now known as Ganeshsriram [11:32] wgrant: ok, so are there 64 bits kernel modules? [11:32] or do I need a special repo? [11:33] wgrant: that is true. So whats the difference between vnc ssh and x forwarding? [11:33] Gin: you got 64bit ? [11:33] s/modules// [11:33] Babar: You will need to find the linux-image and linux-ubuntu-modules packages from the amd64 version. [11:33] Riotta, yes. but I hate flash in general on Linux. [11:33] there is no way to do that [11:33] Babar: not sure sorry. I've seen more people have issues trying to use 64 over 32, so I only do 32bit [11:34] Zoiks: SSH is normally used for console access, although both VNC and X can be tunnelled over SSH. [11:34] exit [11:34] DistroJockey: ok. Just want to try it out, and see. If I'm having issues, I'll "roll-back" to 32 bits [11:34] if you wanna get flash working on 64bit just uncomment the canonical partner repository in /etc/apt/sources.list and install flash non free Gin [11:34] Riotta: It's not in Partner. [11:34] wgrant: im not good enough yet to run everything in ssh [11:34] Am I right in noticing that the correct way to go on the EeePC (netbook) is to install default Ubuntu and then the fixes, then Netbook Remix ? [11:34] Riotta: It's in multiverse. [11:34] Babar: *nods* Have fun :) [11:35] Riotta, I don't want to use macromedia flash plugin. [11:35] Gin: Tried Gnash? [11:35] Gin: well there's open implementation [11:35] called gnash [11:35] but it suck :d [11:35] there is another methode or hack to watch youtube with an external player [11:36] Riotta: It's getting there. [11:36] can't remember how they did it [11:36] anyway adobe opened flash itself so version 11 will be open [11:36] Gin: Of course. Open up the Movie Player, and enable the YouTube plugin. === Ganeshsriram is now known as ganesh [11:36] flash is now open? that can't be true [11:36] Gin ... dl the .flv video with a util. [11:36] yeah you got also programs like QTube [11:36] Gin: It isn't entirely. [11:36] for viewing such files [11:36] ive started with a command line install of 8.04, adding X a windows manager, login manager and file manager, problem is xorg isnt loading the kbd or mouse modules, did i forget to install something?

[11:37] wgrant .. good :) [11:37] Riotta: Do not suggest GetDeb here. [11:37] not supported ?:P [11:37] Riotta: All of us hold grave concerns for their QA. [11:37] Random crashes.

[11:39] xandorv_: ifconfig tells you, See rx (recived) tx (transmited) values [11:39] wgrant: thx [11:39] Gin: This is unfortunately what Adobe does to thinks. [11:39] veggteppey: What's wrong? [11:39] neeed flash player:P [11:39] Adobe Flash Player, =(((( [11:39] veggteppey: Oh, the YouTube bug. They're being nasty. Just go to any other Flash site, and it will ask you to install Flash. [11:39] veggteppey: Once you've been to another site and installed it, YouTube will work. [11:40] hi anybody any experience with using samba service to access files shared on Vista based pc [11:40] veggteppey: Alternatively, you can avoid Flash entirely. The built-in movie player can handle YouTube through a plugin. [11:40] !firefox [11:40] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu.

[12:08] DVS01: that is indeed a rootkit, but that's a very different thing [12:08] JFlash: No. [12:08] "avanced desktop effects settings" === hellfire is now known as ^hellfire^ [12:08] Kartagis, if you wish to have the spelling mistake corrected, go to #ubuntu-ops and ask them to change it [12:08] is that it? [12:08] JFlash: It is. [12:08] mortis: log in then type startx [12:08] DVS01: that's not to say that there are no vulnerabilities in Linux (or any other Unix) [12:08] !ping | OMAR_INC [12:08] OMAR_INC: ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [12:08] I lagged [12:08] gordonjcp: viruses in linux have to obey the rules.. i love that :D [12:08] thanks guys [12:08] OMAR_INC, ok, did it work? [12:08] OMAR_INC: better now? [12:08] mortis: try the Alternate CD instead [12:08] Log in? [12:09] I can't log in to Ubuntu if it's not even installed. [12:09] My lagg is gone now, yes [12:09] mortis: yeah dont you have a login prompt? [12:09] !no tr is Turk ubuntu kullanicilari, Turkce yardim ya da geyik icin #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [12:09] Nope. I'm talking about installing [12:09] DVS01: if you really want you can always just do "sudo apt-get install rootkit" [12:09] cool [12:09] Kartagis: Hopefully the ops will make that change soon. [12:09] mortis: ahh, you are waiting to install [12:09] Yeah. [12:09] ubuntu save a lot of money? [12:09] Wait, what? [12:09] I sat for like 10 minutes with a command prompt up... [12:09] It doesn' [12:10] doesn't say it's installing or anything [12:10] newbeginer6: Yep. [12:10] mortis: try a text based install [12:10] gordonjcp: yah, like that recent root exploit (jessica_biel_naked_in_my_bed.c) that affected Linux 2.6.17 - 2.6.24.1 [12:10] mortis: Does it mention something about initramfs and busybox? [12:10] How? [12:10] Yes, wgrant. [12:10] OMAR_INC: do you get any output when you run compiz --replace [12:10] wgrant, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/240901 dun, bug reported [12:10] Launchpad bug 240901 in linux "After updating to kernel 2.6.24-19 system doesn't boot anymore" [Undecided,New] [12:10] mortis: Oh dear. Which Ubuntu release? [12:10] how to set ubuntu to use vlc to play a DVD instead of movie player? [12:10] OMAR_INC, go to System --> Preferences --> Appearance --> Visual effects (tab) --> Select 'Extra' [12:10] 8.04 [12:10] mortis: when you first boot the cd, read the screen [12:10] Yes a lot [12:10] Ok [12:10] oups, I didn't know there was a robot for bugs too :P [12:10] gordonjcp: i was very pleased to see that when i tried that exploit on a kernel with grsecurity installed, instead of gaining root access, the machine crashed. more secure in my opinion to crash than to give root :D [12:11] wildman: Bug #1 [12:11] OMAR_INC: can you do another pastebin with the text ;) [12:11] !paste | OMAR_INC [12:11] OMAR_INC: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [12:11] wildman: It's a very nice bot. [12:11] wildman, theres a robot for everything ;~) [12:11] Except it didn't work this time. [12:11] wgrant, indeed [12:11] Bodsda, looks like :) [12:11] !coffee | wildman [12:11] wildman: coffee is a caffeinated beverage made by filtering water through ground up roasted beans of the coffee plant. Flavouring to taste such as milk or cream, sugar or sweetener are often added afterwards. Not to be confused with !java [12:11] " as much bling as you could possibly imagine plus more" << wow, I like the sound of that! [12:11] wgrant, I am using 8.04, why? [12:11] wildman, the beauty of it is, anyone can have an irc bot [12:11] JFlash: it gets old really fast [12:11] gordonjcp: ever tried that exploit? [12:12] it exploits vmsplice [12:12] I just realised that wine 1.0 was released.. is it going to be added to repository? [12:12] kane77, if you add the wine repo it will be in apt [12:12] DVS01: Except that practically every machine will have been upgraded. [12:12] ok ppl, back to do 'real' work now, thanks for your help, cya soon [12:12] cya wildman [12:12] See you, wildman.

In your case, that one is the "best" [12:15] can anybody help to me? i ask it because anyone who say yes get out when i tell my problem [12:15] !ask | ubuntu_ [12:15] ubuntu_: 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. :-) [12:15] ubuntu_, then no..... ask your question, anyone who can help will [12:15] I know, I already used it.

[12:21] ubuntu_ doesnt matter any [12:21] ActionParsnip: did that 2 times as well as a reboot... no good [12:21] OMAR_INC, in a terminal type top and tell us what is using the most cpu and memory [12:21] OMAR_INC, the 'pastebinit' command is handy. You can paste to pastebin without a browser. [12:21] actionparsnip yea sudo [12:21] ubuntu_: sudo mkdir /mnt/data; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/data [12:21] OMAR_INC: I regret to inform you that my initial presumption was correct - your video card is too old.

It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [12:23] ubuntu_: Oh, no, no, no.

[12:36] i have 2 computer here [12:36] yes [12:36] newbeginer: I am using xchat [12:36] newbeginer9, install an irc client such as xchat, connect to ubuntu servers (irc.freenode.net) and type /j #ubuntu [12:36] newbeginer9: there is a program called xchat.. in the Applications, Internet menu [12:36] xchat newbeginer9 [12:36] newbeginer9: xchat, pidgin [12:36] heh.. an irc client.. [12:36] Slart: Not by default. [12:36] newbeginer chatzilla xchat xhat-gnome [12:36] newbeginer9: oh.. my bad.. you'll have to run this first "sudo apt-get install xchat" [12:36] irssi [12:37] thanks, wgrant [12:37] has anyone figured out how to change the text colour on the Firefox 3 widgets when using a dark theme ?? [12:37] i actually was unable to find an irc client for linux that i enjoy. i ended up creating a windows xp VM hosted by vmware server on one of my linux boxes.. this winxp vm does nothing but run mirc. i use it via vnc :D [12:37] Slart: Best to not ask people to drop to the commandline just for that. [12:37] maek, not really an ubuntu thing im afraid, try in #mozilla or #firefox [12:37] DVS01: wont mirc run via wine? [12:37] DVS01: Wine?

[12:38] DVS01: like me and KDE [12:38] wgrant, whats wrong with dropping to cli? [12:39] Bodsda: It gives people a bad impression, and it generally confuses people to death. [12:39] !repo [12:39] 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 [12:39] ActionParsnip: its actually a pretty sweet setup.. logs and downloads are sent to a network drive, so the vm itself stores nothing important. if it gets a malware infection, etc... i simply load the latest snapshot [12:39] Can I get some help with Ubuntu Drivers here? :-) [12:39] wgrant, i never use a gui app if theres a cli version, save FF and xchat -- it may confuse people but it doesnt mean gui is better [12:39] oic [12:40] DVS01: you can export logs via network mounts in linux apps, seems a bit of a space glutton for one measly app [12:40] Bodsda: I am a rare GUI user as well, but it doesn't mean I need to subject all people to the CLI on their first day. [12:40] liam: dont ask to ask [12:40] ubuntu ask me to update [12:40] Bodsda: We don't develop GUI tools so people can ignore them. [12:40] should i need to update all? [12:40] liam: for what hardware [12:40] newbeginer9: It is advisable - there are security updates. [12:40] the S-Video card on Dell Insipirion 1525 [12:40] ActionParsnip: my irc setup is actually sorta funny.. for me to irc, 5 machines are involved. 1. vmware host, 2. winxp vm with mirc, 3. dvs01.net for the hostname, 4. comm box makes a tunnel to dvs01.net, 5. some machine VNC's to the winxp vm [12:40] newbeginer as you want [12:40] liam: what graphics card is it? [12:40] wgrant, haha,. different views,.,.i would hate to see linux totally gui dependant so i like to suggest cli alternatives first,.,. but its a fair point that it confuses newcomers [12:41] wgrant: hmm.. can't really say I agree about the "bad impression" bit.. and from what I've seen in here, running stuff in a terminal doesn't confuse people that much.. but this is getting !ot I wont argue [12:41] DVS01: complicated much [12:41] Bodsda: Oh, as would I. I find GUIs to be slow and cumbersome. [12:41] Slart, go on... you know you want to ;~) [12:41] But they're easier to pick up for newbies. [12:41] Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 [12:41] From what people ive taught the terminal is often VERY clear anc concise. :) much easier then looking over their shoulder and saying.. "no the next menu item.. now click over there..." :) [12:42] Bodsda: nggh... must resist urge.. ;) [12:42] wgrant, yep,.., it takes longer to do simple tasks aswell,.,. first thing i did on this install was add a terminal hotkey and start a terminal upon login ;~) [12:42] i saw xchat [12:42] Dr_willis_: nonsense [12:42] Slart, the urge is too strong!!!!! [12:42] so just download it? [12:42] newbeginer9, yep [12:42] newbeginer9: That's right. [12:42] ActionParsnip: it seems complex, but it works pretty well. theres also an added benefit in that i can actually have a secured windows setup.. since all it does is irc and is behind a nat (not to mention that i take snapshots in case of compromise), its actually a pretty secure winxp :D [12:43] liam: should work out of the box apparently, you just getting no svideo? [12:43] DVS01, did you just use the word 'secure' and the word 'windows' in the same sentence without 'NOT' being in there somewhere? [12:43] DVS01: you could make a bootable xp cd and put your mirc thing on it, system runs purely in ram then [12:44] Could anyone help me with setting up software raid, because I am confused if I need to create separate partitions before or after creating the raid 5 device [12:44] hi guys...how do I know if I'm using the latest version of Firefox? I've run the update mgr, but just want to make sure. :D [12:44] no need for snapshot storage [12:44] dlozarie, in a terminal type firefox --version [12:44] dlozarie: In Firefox, run Help->About? [12:44] mysql [12:44] yeah the graphics card is working fine, but I cant get anything when I plug the laptop into the TV [12:44] !mysql [12:44] 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+) [12:44] hey! need to cut out parts of videos.. in avi files for example... what gui program can i use? [12:44] Balachmar: it's been a while since I did this.. but afaik you create the partitions first (there is a partition type for raid volume).. then create the software raid thingy [12:44] wgrant, gui vs cli,.,. which is faster for that task??? lol ;~) [12:44] Bodsda, thnx. wgrant, yeah I did that but I'm still not sure. it said firefox 3 tho. :D [12:44] dlozarie: If it asked you to upgrade Firefox in the past 12 hours, you should have it? [12:45] Bodsda: Firefox is a GUI application. [12:45] testola: avidemux or something [12:45] !info avidemux [12:45] avidemux (source: avidemux): a free video editor - gtk version. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:2.4.1-0.0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2979 kB, installed size 7880 kB [12:45] wgrant, yeah, but finding the version is quicker with cli if the app isnt already loaded [12:45] wgrant, it says "Mozilla Firefox 3.0, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2008 mozilla.org" that's the latest, right? :D [12:45] Whereas to do it through a terminal, one has to work out where on earth the terminal menu item is, and check they got the command right. [12:45] Bodsda: Why wouldn't Firefox already be running? [12:45] dlozarie: Yep. [12:45] @Slart which partitions need to have the bootable flag on then? only one or all? [12:45] Balachmar: Not one. [12:45] Balachmar: oh.. you're booting from the raid? [12:46] yee-haw! off to boot into vista to participate in Download Day from there. thanks! [12:46] i just woke up please help how do i use my terminal [12:46] Ubuntus unrar is much faster than Windows's WinRAR... that is so cool :D [12:46] lol [12:46] bakersfieldboy: Applications, accessoires, terminal [12:46] @Slart yes I want to boot from the raid as well [12:46] !terminal | bakersfieldboy [12:46] bakersfieldboy: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [12:46] !cli > bakersfieldboy (read the private message from ubottu) [12:46] wgrant, haha,.,. i never even new about the firefox help->about [12:46] knew* [12:46] Balachmar: that's a different story then.. I've never done that before [12:46] Bodsda: Same as any other GUI application since ~ Windows 3.1. [12:46] ty [12:47] wgrant, yeah, but i dont use gui often so i no not of these things [12:47] slart ty [12:47] you're welcome, bakersfieldboy [12:47] @Slart ok, I guess only root partition needs to be bootable [12:47] hi all [12:47] Slart: thx! [12:47] ubottu ty [12:47] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [12:47] hi guys. I have an equipament in my network that I don't know which is it IP address. Do you know any tool that ping all the possible ip addresses, so I could find the IP of that equipament? [12:47] Balachmar, usually the partition that holds the /boot folder needs to be bootable [12:47] jrib ty [12:48] racquad: nmap [12:48] wgrant: with which options? [12:48] * wgrant vanishes for a few minutes. [12:48] ActionParsnip: i dont have a physical machine for that, it'd end up being in a vm anyways [12:48] @bodsda that was what I meant, but you are more precise [12:48] Balachmar, yeah your right, you can have a seperate boot partition if you want, but then things with grub get complicated [12:49] I am looking for a way to play sound out of both my speakers and headphones at the same time. I upgraded to 8.04 and now it seems when the headphones are plugged in I no longer have the option. [12:49] @bodsda, I want to create 3 partitions mounted to: /, swap and /home [12:49] ActionParsnip any idea? [12:50] So only one of them needs to be bootable, the one for / right? [12:50] no way ubottu is not a bot is it ??? [12:50] Balachmar, i have a GCSE exam in a min so i need to leave, but that is a normal partition table [12:50] Balachmar: yes, it is [12:50] Balachmar, the / partition needs to be bootable oon that setup [12:50] Balachmar: ignore me [12:50] @Bodsda thanks and good luck! [12:50] bakersfieldboy: yes, ubottu is a bot [12:51] * Balachmar wonders what GCSE stands for... [12:51] Balachmar, cheers dude,.,. cya [12:51] i have no idea [12:51] I have found several forum threads where people want to disable (do the opposite) having both go at the same time, but I'd like the control for whichever I feel like. [12:51] @Bodsda :D lol [12:51] Balachmar, -- google says..................General Certificate of Secondary Education [12:51] lol too cool thay must have ever dum question in the book for it (ubotto) [12:52] Bodsda thanks and good luck again! [12:53] want to see if i can ask bottu another question [12:53] bakersfieldboy, you can have a try [12:53] how do i update ubuntu [12:54] see if that works [12:54] bakersfieldboy: you can even torture him in private.. /msg ubottu what is ubuntu? [12:54] ok [12:54] !upgrade | bakersfieldboy [12:54] bakersfieldboy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [12:55] bakersfieldboy: I think you have to put the name of the bot in the question [12:55] lol i love it [12:55] bakersfieldboy: or use the !keyword thingy [12:55] hello guys [12:55] hello math01141 [12:55] i a having a little problem [12:55] math01141: tell us all about it [12:55] ha ha (thingy) [12:56] when iam traing to check permitions [12:56] no firefox 3 rc3 in the repositories?!

[12:58] math01141: try writing "dmesg" in a terminal and see if you can see the error there [12:58] KC: have you tried the different video drivers in the preferences to check whether none of them gives you better results ? [12:58] math01141: use "dmesg | less" so you can use arrow up and arrow down to scroll [12:59] hmmm [12:59] that seems hard for me [13:00] math01141: in the menu Applications, accessories, click on terminal [13:00] math01141: then write "dmesg | less" without the quotation marks [13:01] hi [13:01] i just noticed that my laptop doesn't have pcmcia [13:01] is that normal? [13:01] vinboy: For laptops produced within the past 3 years, that's quite normal. [13:01] vinboy: some newer laptops have dropped pcmcia [13:01] ok thx wgrant... i didn't notice it when i bought it :D [13:01] Though the transition period for some manufacturers differs by a very long period. [13:01] often in favour for cardbus [13:02] MrElendig: CardBus is 32-bit PCMCIA.... [13:02] MrElendig: what is cardbus?? where to find it? [13:02] wgrant: in a smaller physical format [13:02] i did that slart thx [13:02] i only have USB and some standard port [13:02] bud whats the meening of this?

[13:04] poisonkiller: well.. the definition of maximum kind of says it all.. you can't [13:05] poisonkiller: put an amp on your speakers [13:05] poisonkiller: unless you get amplified speakers [13:05] Slart: sure you can [13:05] hey doesnt evolution fetch the mails with labels??? === user334234 is now known as ActingTheGoat [13:05] arvind_khadri: Labels? [13:05] what came first the chicken or the egg and how big was it? [13:05] Slart: well, Ubuntu's maximum is lower that Windows's maximum, so there must be a higher maximum ^_^ [13:05] poisonkiller: first, did you maximized all controlls in mixer? usually ther are at least 2 (main volume and "PCM" or other "sound") === ActingTheGoat is now known as IWantMoreCowBell [13:05] poisonkiller: did you max all the levers? pcm/front/main etc ? [13:05] IdleOne: dont spam please [13:05] wgrant, ya...in gmail to inbound labels i have created filters so that they dont flood my inbox [13:06] poisonkiller: also, maximize the level in your audio/media player that you use - i.e. VLC usually plays at 50% volume [13:06] TuniX12, lol np sorry bout that [13:06] LimCore: yes, except PCM which makes sound distorted if higher that 74% [13:06] arvind_khadri: Those are represented as folders in IMAP.

[13:07] Hi all, I have had a long-term problem with slow searching in Evolution. It only affects one of my mailboxes. I thought that upgrading might help but it hasn't. Does anyone have any advice for me abotu how to fix the issue? I guess there is something in the mailbox file which Evolution is having trouble with. [13:08] TuniX12: It's close enough that we don't need to confuse users with it. [13:08] wgrant, so i should re-configure my account to do that??? [13:08] Is there a way to see the Linux partition from Windows ? [13:08] IWantMoreCowBell, yes. several ways. [13:08] !ext3 | IWantMoreCowBell [13:08] IWantMoreCowBell: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [13:08] age6racer: Is there an option in the folder properties to rebuild the index? [13:08] is there any adult content filter for ubuntu? like naomi or k9 for windows? [13:08] IWantMoreCowBell, there a lots of ways...explore2fs is one of them [13:08] I don'ty know. I'll have a look [13:09] cyan_ronin: I don't think there is anything system wide.. but you might find something for firefox [13:09] cyan_ronin, yeah there are...shoot up add/remove programs there is something you can find :) [13:09] k thanks Slart [13:09] cyan_ronin, check out privoxy also. it may have filter 'rule/files' for different things. Other then ads. :) [13:10] I tried to install fonts in the fonts folder, I get permission denied error [13:10] cyan_ronin, theres also some 'make firefox kid friendly' extensions. but i forget their names. 'gubble' perhaps? [13:10] alright thanks :) === math01141 is now known as math01141_away [13:11] wgrant: the option to index message body data was unchecked. I've checked it and my CPU / RAM usga ejust shot up so I guess it's indexing now. Looks like this might fix it. I'll let everyone know when it's finished. [13:12] cyan_ronin: if I had to install some kind of filter, I'd do it on the router.. I used ipcop with a proxy plugin at a school where I worked.. it did an ok job [13:14] Slart, you can try Thunderbird . Tool-->Message filter [13:15] quinn: huh? [13:15] quinn: we're talking about adult content filters for linux systems [13:15] Slart, i make a mistake [13:16] quinn: =) [13:18] hello [13:18] im switching to linux [13:18] maybe [13:18] dunno === AutumnCa1 is now known as AutumnCat [13:18] is UBUNTU good? [13:18] yes [13:18] sb-: good enough for me [13:18] sb try it yourself [13:19] maybe not good for you [13:19] you can use ubuntu's new wubi installer that installs ubuntu onto your windows partition and boots from that.. that allows you to try out ubuntu without having to repartition/reformat your hard drive(s) [13:19] sb-, what's your idear [13:19] I did try linux a year or two ago [13:19] just a general question [13:19] but it seemed like a mess [13:20] I have all my DATA on NTFS [13:20] who decides whats goes into the linux kernel? [13:20] can someone please try something for me.. start audacious and try moving it to another desktop with compiz enabled.. all other windows I can move by just pushing them against the window edge but not audacious.. most annoying [13:20] linus trovalds [13:20] And his trusted lieutenants [13:20] Argon_: linux torvalds and his staff [13:20] *linux [13:20] Argon_: he is the maintainer [13:20] Argon_: a small group of developers, afaik.. lead by Linus [13:20] hmm [13:21] Argon_: Why do you ask? [13:21] *gaaaaah, linuS [13:21] I was thinking about this for a while [13:21] on 1 side linux is free/open/etc, [13:21] linduxed: hard to write linus.. =) that last 'x' is almost automatic =) [13:22] hello all [13:22] but on the other side you got the dictator who has absolut control about what goes in into the package and what not [13:22] hi all [13:22] Argon_: every open source project has a maintainer who decide about what should be added or not linus is the maintainer of linux [13:22] in theory [13:22] Argon_: you can always take the source code and create a new linux.. but you cant force your will on linus's Linux =) [13:22] i'm pondering geting one of those dell laptops shipped with ubuntu.. anyone has one? any issues with them? [13:22] Argon_: Well, /someone/ has to do quality control. You can fork it if you like. [13:22] i'm the one who install new ubuntu on laptop [13:23] Is there no control panel to add fonts [13:23] previous nick is nebeginer [13:23] should everything be so darn difficult? [13:23] Argon_: We trust linux specifically because Linux is around to control what goes in it. There's no law stating only he can do that, it's just that he /does/ and you don't. [13:23] welcome back, kenny [13:23] I know [13:23] IWantMoreCowBell: not that I've found [13:23] Trying to get VirtualBox running, getting the error "* No suitable module for running kernel found." any time I try to start it.

Run the.. some program. [13:24] exactly Slart [13:24] I cannot add fonts [13:24] Baughn: ...? [13:24] Slart: ~/.fonts works too. ;) [13:24] with members who decides who has control [13:24] it gives wierd errors [13:24] Baughn: ah.. I knew there had to be a better way =) [13:24] anyoen have experience with dell ubuntu laptops? do they run fine or do they have issues? [13:25] dont want to spend my cash on it if it isnt runing smooth from scratch [13:25] IWantMoreCowBell: sup cp /usr/share/fonts [13:25] Argon_: why? if you feel that would be a better organisation you can create it.. if more people share your view they will use your kernel [13:25] IWantMoreCowBell: sorry sudo cp [13:25] <_pennit_> yö [13:25] is ubuntu 8.04 using any firewall settings by default? have connection problems with vpnclient and maybe ubuntu is blocking something by default? === _pennit_ is now known as knaggit [13:26] gsus 1300+ users in here 0_o [13:26] manuee, ive seen over 3000 [13:26] DIFH-iceroot: try ufw in terminal [13:26] Argon_: but this is getting !ot .. there is an offtopic channel [13:26] 0_o [13:26] amazing [13:26] I'm not that with computers affiliated to do something like that [13:26] what is the ubuntu-help channel?

[13:36] investigating [13:36] Hi. I'm experiencing that the video quality is much lower in Ubuntu than Windows (in all players), and I've heard this has something to do with "X extention" or something. How do I solve this problem? [13:36] hi, i've got a porblem, when i change my menu.lst to vga mode it always comments the line like it was before [13:36] I am getting a fatal error that ubuntu is not able to install grub on hd(0). (I am using software raid 5) [13:37] i use ubuntu now, but why i cannot sharing folder on network with other computer with windows? [13:38] kenny__: I've never had that problem, what exactly doesn't work? [13:38] ok [13:39] Could some kind person paste a working grub menu.lst for 2.6.24-19 to pastebin or something? I'll love you even more if you have an XP entry as well with chainloader/etc [13:39] sini: If I post my menu.lst I can almost guarantee it won't work for you [13:39] sini: use grub-install [13:39] sini: http://pastebin.com/m512e7da0 [13:40] sini: haven't made any changes to it myself [13:40] thanks [13:40] salut tout le monde [13:40] Finu1: grubs installed, the config is just the stock config with no entrys :P [13:41] let said i want to other computer, inside ubuntu i click places then click network then i see windows network & i see workgroup but when i click it, there nothing there, why?

[13:47] still cannot install fonts in ubuntu [13:47] kenny__: http://www.freeos.com/articles/4310/ or http://blogs.koolwal.net/2008/05/19/mount-a-windows-network-share-on-linux-using-sambacifs/ [13:47] im thinking that maybe this one will be a better alternative than dell http://system76.com/product_info.php?products_id=85{1}111{53}398{2}386{3}11{4}19{5}21{6}28{7}26{8}34{9}36{10}38{11}40{12}42 [13:48] when will firefox3 release be in apt ? [13:48] leachim6: it is in apt already [13:48] IWantMoreCowBell, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts [13:49] leachim6: jrib is right [13:49] when I'm in gnome-terminal, delete/backspace work. but if I run aptitude in that terminal, they don't work any more. any ideas? [13:49] i haven't found much improve compared with rc1 [13:49] any good *code* editor to use with terminal ? [13:50] simmerz: http://www.ibb.net/~anne/keyboard.html <-- Plenty [13:50] level09: vim or emacs (I like vim) [13:50] is that already in core ? [13:50] or should I get it [13:50] Baughn: thanks [13:50] level09: vim-tiny is included. You should install "vim" [13:50] okay thanks [13:50] vim is great [13:50] any thing better than nano is good :D [13:51] i like vim too. [13:51] sidewalk, you also can download the 64bite wine at http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/pool/main/w/wine/wine_1.0.0~winehq0~ubuntu~8.04-1_amd64.deb [13:51] Could someone help me with installing grub on a raid 5 array? [13:51] level09: be forewarned, you need to learn to use vim. It will suck for the first couple of days. vimtutor will help you a lot [13:52] thanks :) [13:52] guys ,why there isn't an emacs channel [13:52] newbee617: Of course there is. #emacs. [13:52] oldenglish: it worked with some minor tweaks of course but you saved me a buncha time :) === math01141_away is now known as math01141 [13:53] i still don understand [13:54] anybody know why when I hit alt+1,+2,etc in xterm I get a crazy set of escape codes and irssi doesn't change windows? :-/ [13:54] My laptop got repaired (motherboard got replaced) but now i can't get the drivers working for my nvidia 8600M GT working (atleast it sticks with low resolution) how can i fix that? [13:54] Baughn: I guess gnome-terminal is equivalent to "XTerm (and friends)" ? [13:54] Hi Guys. How could I disable tracker on a computer? [13:55] douye: You can try purging and reinstall restricted drivers for nvidia [13:55] it's there any ctrl+alt+delete on ubuntu? [13:55] sini: how? coz i think all nvidia drivers are installed :P [13:55] kenny__: what do you want it to do? [13:55] sini: or the xserver things.. or something [13:55] ctrl+alt+backspace will restart you window manager [13:55] kenny__: alt+ctrl+delete will reboot from a console, ctrl+alt+backspace will kill xorg [13:55] hmm, why do i get error, "with" does not name a type, when i try g++ ./myfirst.cpp? [13:55] leitao: system -> preferences -> search and indexing [13:56] Hi everybody, i'm having some problem with a secondary drive on my desktop, anyone could help¿? [13:56] jrib: thanks! [13:56] veggteppey: ##c++ is more appropriate for programming issues [13:56] let said like windows the application stop running, in windows can use ctrl+alt+delete to turn the application off [13:56] but inside ubuntu, How? [13:56] kenny__: system -> adiministration -> system monitor [13:56] kenny__, if you are trying to see what processes are running then go to System > Administration > System Monitor is what you want [13:56] hmm understandable, but it worked 1min ago^ [13:57] veggteppey: pastebin your code [13:57] to this chan? its gonna spam:P [13:57] kenny__: u can "kill" a job [13:57] !pastebin > veggteppey (read the private message from ubottu) [13:58] kenny__: a nicer way to kill things is to run 'xkill' and then click on the app you need to kill [13:58] ah crap system76 only ships to usa/canada [13:58] i'd rather buy from them than dell [13:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/21143/ [13:58] is that right maybe?:p === AutumnCa1 is now known as AutumnCat [13:58] veggteppey: that program did not work 1 min ago.. [13:59] veggteppey: look at the comments at the top [13:59] i ment [13:59] and shortcut keyboard to make 'xkill'? [13:59] the first one^ [13:59] i've added a second drive to my pc and created a ext3 partition on it, after that i can mount it and see some sda1 folder but it wont let me either write or change permission on it... [13:59] worked a min ago^ [13:59] kenny: you can list the processes by, opening a terminal window and write 'ps -ef' , when you find your process, just type ' kill -9 your_process', you might need to use sudo [13:59] */ killing it? [13:59] veggteppey: =).. the first line is a comment, // at start.. the second line doesn't start with a comment char [13:59] taller: permissions [13:59] aha [14:00] ??? how can i change that? [14:00] veggteppey: but this isn't an ubuntu problem [14:00] sorry slart=( [14:00] taller: man chmod [14:00] man chown too [14:00] I get a real crappy sound from my old PC outputs [14:00] ok [14:00] veggteppey: no worries.. I probably wrote more lines about it than you did =) [14:00] What could be the problem [14:00] my max volume is still too low, is there a way to boost it? [14:00] !permissions > taller (read the private message from ubottu) === kompi01 is now known as andre_cow_tampan [14:00] hehehe^^, if this isnt the right place, know any other place i can go to get help ?:) [14:01] how large does the /boot partition need to be? [14:01] kenny__: top in console than kill [pid] [14:01] veggteppey: #C++ or ##c++ perhaps [14:01] lspci shows Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) [14:01] oooh I had not previously known about the f flag for pf... auxf beats top :P [14:01] Is it safe to remove xserver-xorg-video-nv ? [14:01] dunno where....:o( [14:01] douye: should be as long as you don't kill X until you reinstall it [14:02] hi people, what happens when i do /etc/init.d/networking force-reload ? will it interrupt all interfaces? [14:02] douye: no it brokes dependencies [14:02] duende_: TCP connections should survive even if it does [14:02] douye: it shouldn't break dependancies if it works like debian [14:02] kenny__: open terminal and type sudo top [14:03] sini: It breaks the ubuntu-desktop dependency, at least [14:03] :-/ [14:03] stupid meta-packages [14:03] than check the pid of process you want to kill [14:03] sini: So you have to weigh convenience against half a meg of useless stuff. On a 500 gig disk, likely as not. [14:03] it ask me type the password [14:03] and k[pid] within top [14:03] but i cannot type password [14:03] TuniX12, kenny__: You might want to try killall. Or use the System Monitor [14:03] where can i find some games to play anyone ? [14:03] Baughn: the problem is that gnome-terminal allows me to change global settings for delete/backspace and I can get them working in each app as I'm running them, but then if i leave aptitude, I have to change it back. screen does the same thing. [14:03] sini: guess i'll just leave it alone :P and try to completely remove the nvidia drivers and reinstall them [14:04] kenny__: yes type your pass [14:04] kenny__: you type it but you do not see anything, that's normal [14:04] kenny__, you do realize it does NOT echo what you type. no * no nothing. :) [14:04] douye: -nv isn't the proprietary NVIDIA driver. [14:04] Baughn: thanks for the info. [14:04] cheers people [14:04] sini: or is it a must that if your motherboard gets replaced (by the same one) ubuntu needs to be installed ? [14:04] kenny__: you should just do 'top' though, you don't need sudo [14:04] duende_: That is, of course, if you don't change IP address [14:04] !games | RogueX [14:04] RogueX: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [14:04] jrib: he cant kill system process [14:05] kenny__: what do you want to kill exactly? [14:05] douye: It shouldn't affect anything it should be the same board/chipset depending on your manufacturer [14:05] is the edgy repository not working? [14:05] Baughn: well, eth0 has a seperate /29 subnet.. so now i'd like to add another /29 subnet to eth1 and make it active [14:05] on ly those in user space [14:05] masterkiller: Edgy is obsolete. [14:05] duende_: You don't need to restart networking for that. Just ifup eth1 [14:05] because in the early finish install ubuntu [14:05] i open few menu [14:06] and it stuck [14:06] so i have no idea [14:06] masterkiller: It was removed from archive.ubuntu.com some time ago. There are no security updates any more, so anybody using it really needs to upgrade. [14:06] sini: pretty weird tho that my videocard wont work normally now then, as vista just runs it fine [14:06] so power off [14:06] hi all [14:06] kenny__: don't use enter to break up your thoughts as it makes it harder to follow what you are saying === cando666 is now known as cando [14:06] hey does anyone know how to find my video cards "nvcap" value from within Ubuntu (I realise this is a pretty hard question) [14:06] Is there a program on Linux that like generates a name? [14:06] i type top already and i can see the process but how to kill [14:07] kenny__: kill [14:07] I've heard there is something that kind of generates a name on Windows. [14:07] Baughn: omg, ofcourse.. seems logical.. sorry for this uber-stupid question man, thanks for the reminder [14:07] Or killall. [14:07] wtf #ubuntu-fr is down :( [14:07] kenny__: chek its pid [14:07] mysterycool: a name? what kind of name? [14:07] mysterycool: A... name? [14:07] like... hobbitelf4323 ! [14:07] cando: there is a problem with the # ubuntu-? [14:07] kenny__: and kill it [14:07] Slart + wgrant: Lol, it sounds odd, I know, but it kind of generates like a name and a surname. [14:07] oic [14:07] i get it [14:07] mysterycool: http://www.behindthename.com/random/ go nuts =) [14:07] i REMEMBER reading something about a bootable cd that would overwrite a hard drive a certain number of times...IE if you are giving your computer away [14:08] what is the name of such a thing? [14:08] wgrant: thanks for the response :) i have a pretty modified beryl desktop going, do you think the upgrade will break it? [14:08] chell: I'm not seeing anything that shows how to do that [14:08] mib_wr6rwe yes ! ubuntu-fr adress banned :/ [14:08] mmm [14:08] if my laptop sudenly stuck even cannot move my mouse, what should i do? [14:08] NickGarvey: apparently i need to dump my nvidia card's bios [14:08] wgrant: or rather, what can i do to prepare for it to boot to a normal gnome desktop (doesnt matter if it breaks i can fix just dont want ot get locked out and dead in the water) [14:08] masterkiller: Beryl is horribly obsolete, but you can easily replace it with Compiz Fusion. [14:09] matt_: check out "wipe". I don't think it's installed by default [14:09] masterkiller: Beryl is close enough to a normal GNOME desktop that it doesn't matter. [14:09] wgrant: hehe yea i guess its becoming obvious i set this up a long time ago =P [14:09] bbl [14:09] Just upgrade Edgy->Feisty->Gutsy->Hardy. [14:09] wgrant: Is Beryl like out of the market? Wasn't it combined with Compiz Fusion which comes only on Ubuntu? [14:09] :p [14:09] lol :p [14:09] wgrant: ok thanks i'll embark on the upgrade adventure :) [14:09] Slart: wipe won't erase an entire hardisk though, will it? [14:09] mysterycool: Beryl merged with Compiz to form Compiz Fusion, aaaages ago. [14:09] It's nothing Ubuntu-specific. [14:10] wgrant: Oh, lol, ok :p [14:10] kenny__: usb mouse? [14:10] matt_: yes it will.. I've used it several times on old hard drives.. takes forever though.. but there is a cd that does that on all connected drives when you boot from it.. google for disk wipe or something [14:10] maybe there is a way to upgrade system from Edgy to Hardy [14:11] quinn: There is one supported upgrade path - Edgy->Feisty->Gutsy->Hardy. [14:11] wgrant: long ago i was often warned about upgrading major ubuntu versions, has that changed? [14:11] quinn, the only secure way is to upgrade to each consecutive release [14:11] quinn: step by step 6.10>7.04>7.10>8.04 [14:11] quinn, sure, use the live cd [14:11] Slart: I though wipe was like sudo wipe -r /path/to/dir/, how would you do an entire drive? [14:11] yes [14:11] usb mouse [14:11] masterkiller: People who warn about that have probably done stupid things with their systems. [14:11] masterkiller: Like using dodgy third-party repositoriers. [14:11] matt_: check the man page.. you can wipe devices too [14:11] kenny__: unplug and replug [14:11] Our upgrades are generally rock-solid. [14:12] oic [14:12] wgrant: haha ok, so no pitfalls I should look out for? (sorry last question) [14:12] masterkiller: Probably not. [14:12] Slart: so it'd be like wipe /dev/sdv1 [14:12] We won't release with known pitfalls - that would be stupid. [14:12] kenny__: try different port [14:12] wgrant: then hell i'll upgrade all my servers =P thanks bud have a good one [14:12] matt_: check the man page.. I don't remember the exact syntax [14:12] do you people always face ubuntu crash? just curious [14:12] Slart: thanks [14:12] wgrant, i want to known if i can upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 without upgrade to 7.04 and 7.10 [14:12] masterkiller: One can go directly from Dapper to Hardy, but not from Edgy to Hardy. [14:12] kenny__: never [14:12] quinn: You can. [14:12] quinn: no; you cant [14:12] quinn: But wait three weeks. [14:13] quinn: 6.06 is Dapper - do you mean Edgy? [14:13] quinn: sorry from dapper you can from edgy no [14:13] kenny__: it depends with hardware [14:13] wgrant, he should be able to do LTS to LTS [14:13] quinn: you said edgy on the other posts [14:13] IdleOne: that is what I said. [14:13] i want to switch from the 64 bit back to the 32 bit, can i just put in the 32 bit cd and install it over this partition? [14:13] wgrant, oh did not see that [14:13] I'm quite aware of supported upgrade paths, having fixed quite some issues myself. [14:13] kenny__: maybe your hardware is not well supported [14:13] wgrant, i think it's 6.06 [14:13] cmdrtebok: clean install [14:14] quinn: lsb_release -a [14:14] erUSUL, sorry [14:14] hihi [14:14] suggested control panel for ubuntu based systems, for controlling web sites, email and general sys admin? [14:14] Macen: The command line. [14:14] !ebox [14:14] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [14:15] Macen: Seriously, the command line. [14:15] i just downloaded assualtcube how doo i install/play it ? [14:15] Macen: try wajig [14:15] how to see UUID of /dev/sda1 ? [14:15] -paste [14:15] so i can just use 8.10 until next LTS [14:15] ok, now that's out of the way, any time saving control panels that don't impose their control on the system or require domains be locked down with iptables, would be great [14:15] RogueX: You should probably ask the assaultcube people. [14:15] LimCore: sudo blkid [14:15] quinn: 8.10 is yet to be released... [14:15] ok thanks [14:15] 8.04 [14:15] TuniX12: you use wajig? [14:15] thx Slart [14:15] quinn: That's right. Are you on 6.06 now? [14:15] macen [14:16] wgrant, i think 8.04,but type the 8.10 [14:16] whats the url of the ubuntu paste site [14:16] Macen: no [14:16] !paste | marius [14:16] quinn: Right, but which version are you on now? [14:16] marius: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [14:16] yes [14:16] ah ty [14:16] if open many many application in one time it's tht possible to make ubuntu crash? [14:17] wgrant, 6.06 , i use the LTS version only [14:17] kenny__: Running it out of memory will do that, sure [14:17] kenny__, yes. anything is possible [14:17] my max volume is too low, is there a way to boost it? [14:17] llamo, louder speakers [14:17] kenny__: But it's /hard/, especially with a decent amount of swap [14:17] quinn: Any particular reason why? [14:17] thanks, but no. it's much louder when win is installed [14:17] now i understand [14:18] hm, when I try to play a videofile, it's able to show it, but the quality is quite low, some sort of noise ... lines in it,not sure if that's codec related?(because I think the vid card is working properly) [14:18] wgrant, just dont want to upgrade [14:18] i thought maybe there was a sound setting somewhere [14:18] veevi [14:18] kenny_: any inadequate or weak hardware can make an os crash [14:18] veevi: is it the same in different players? what kind of file is it? [14:18] try xine [14:18] not sure about the codec, avi file tho === neurobuntu is now known as slayton_away [14:19] wgrant: i keep getting an error when upgrading using the gui. It is failing to find the edgy packages even though I'm trying to upgrade? ive turned off all 3rd party repositories =/ [14:19] mkv with x264 doesn't work at all, getting image, but no sound, or at least not in sync [14:19] masterkiller: Oh, you used third-party repositories at all? This is bad. [14:19] masterkiller: There were some particularly bad ones back then. [14:19] veevi: Use mplayer [14:19] You might have to remove those packages. [14:19] was beryl [14:19] wgrant, i think it also has some trouble to upgrade from one version to another. sometimes the system may broken [14:20] quinn: 'it'? [14:20] mplayer or xine? :D [14:20] anyone good with Lua here? [14:20] veevi, there are a varity of audio codecs. run the player from the terminal, and play the video look for informational messages, I normally use gmplayer to watch my mkv videos [14:20] veevi: both are good [14:20] its a bad idea to use an ide optical drive to install ubuntu on a 3gb/sec sata drive [14:20] ok, thanks all [14:20] anyone good with Lua or SQL here?^ hehe:P [14:20] sun01tech: Why? It's not that big. [14:20] sun01tech: I don't see why. Slow, sure [14:20] sun01tech: And where on earth do you get a disk that can saturate 3Gbps? [14:20] Hi all, I am after a program for Ubuntu that will play dvr-ms properly.. Any hints? [14:20] Baughn: i had input/output errors [14:21] sun01tech: So? [14:21] wgrant, "that?" [14:21] hi [14:21] hi [14:21] sun01tech: That just means it's a bad idea to install ubuntu from bad media [14:21] sun01tech: A broken HD wouldn't work any better [14:21] quinn: What has trouble with upgrades? [14:22] Baughn: media was fine changed to sata optical drive and no problems [14:22] wgrant, eg. the system cant work [14:22] sun01tech: Then maybe the /drive/ was broken. Or the media was marginal. [14:23] can anyone here tell me how can access my ubuntu server from outsite [14:23] often media works different on diff drivers [14:23] sun01tech: But don't blame the technology for broken hardware [14:23] dont work [14:23] *drives [14:23] quinn: I've not seen a situation more then a couple of weeks after release where an upgrade broke, as long as third-party repositories were not used. [14:23] TuniX12 --> Hi [14:23] I've upgraded several machines all the way from Dapper to Hardy, and one from Hoary to Hardy. I've never had problems. === Kele1 is now known as kelen [14:23] hey guys can anyone help me hosed gdm last night and im pretty sure its cuz i ran some font updates === wang_ is now known as jijizaza [14:24] I don't suppose Mac programs can be installed on Ubuntu as native? [14:24] Luhta: no [14:24] Luhta: We're not OS X. [14:24] for example I want to ssh home ubuntu server from my university [14:24] wgrant, maybe i install too many third-party software [14:24] I am fairly new to linux, and whenever I try to boot up, I get the following error message:"kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with apic=debug and send a report." can anyone help? [14:24] hey now i know a lil more on using chmod but i still cant write to that sda1... :( [14:24] quinn: That sounds right. [14:24] jhall: What sort of machine are you running it on? [14:24] jhall: you have to boot with apic=debug or noapic boot options [14:25] i got an Access denied sign [14:25] !boot | jhall [14:25] jhall: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [14:25] taller: sda1 is mounted with the right of wirtting? [14:25] Baughn: yeah i guess if the optical drive must have been bad...i thought maybe the slowness of the ide optical drive was a factor in the input/output error to a fast sata drive [14:25] taller: You probably need to chown, not chmod. [14:25] writting [14:25] jhall: apic=debug will just give you more details on the brokenness. noapic might work [14:25] erUSUL, wgrant yes I know that I'm just having difficulties with wine and a brand new application and there is a mac option, so I figured I'd ask [14:25] jhall: you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add this option - or in GRUB when booting press 'e' for edit, then again 'e' to edit the kernel vmlinuz LINE in your boot entry and append there this option, so like: ..... root=.... apic=debug then boot 'b' and then do dmesg to see possible problems. [14:25] jhall: But the thing is, it's doing this because your hardware is broken [14:25] guys how about ssh [14:25] jhall: then send a bug report to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+filebug [14:26] sun01tech: It isn't. Linux knows perfectly well how to wait for operations to finish. [14:26] kerberos: ? [14:26] LimCore, jhall: File it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+filebug, please.

Now i set the paths on .bashrc but is seems that i cannot execute them anymore, Is this a mounting issue? [16:23] wng--, and tried to fix X and rebooted [16:23] gnufied: vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change nvidia to vesa [16:23] wng--, yeah, i got rid of nvidia old X config file [16:23] adac: What errors are you getting when you run them?

My laptop has a sda1 (internal hdd with windows). And I installed Ubuntu on a external disk (/dev/sdc). But when I boot I get (Grub Loading Stage 1.5, Error 21) ... Any id how I can solve it ? [16:26] adac: Well it looks like you're all set and don't need my help. Good day. [16:26] EvilDennisR: I checked them 3 times [16:26] hi can anyone tell me how i browse ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts from the ubuntu gui ? [16:26] buckie you have to put a script in therre first, then it'll display the scirpts (and browse) in right click [16:27] gnufied: I suggest you boot to single again and run 'sudo update-rc.d gdm -f remove'. Then you'll probably at least be able to use six virtual terminals after the next reboot. [16:27] EvilDennisR: wow are you a woman or what? [16:27] nickrud, I know :) but I cant seem to find the directory in the gui ? [16:27] gnufied: which config did you get rid of exactly? [16:27] soundray, xorg.conf [16:27] buckie ah, then hit ctl-h in the browser :) [16:27] gnufied: just rm'd it? [16:27] I can't seem to get my samba shares working...

[16:27] buckie while in your home dir, that is [16:27] wng--: it's not needed in 8.04 [16:28] soundray: oh, thats his problem then [16:28] RAdams: make sure you are in the same work group [16:28] nickrud, niiice :D 10000 thx to you m8 :) [16:28] soundray, yeah, because i thought, it was trying to load nvidia drivers and i knew its not needed in 8.04 and i should be able to get some sort of X [16:28] gnufied: what you want to do is to boot to init 3, write a short xorg.conf with only lines for vesa drivers [16:28] MrElendig: I *have* to be in the same workgroup as the windows machine? [16:28] and then startx [16:28] i am in recovery mode, but no internet, its a notebook, needs wireless [16:29] RAdams: idealy, yes [16:29] gnufied: do you know how to boot to init 3? [16:29] why cant I download files via xdcc [16:29] gnufied: do you have any /etc/X11/xorg.conf* backups? [16:29] MrElendig: after I change smb.conf, do I need to restart samba? and if so, is that /etc/init.d/samba restart? [16:29] wng--: runlevels 2-5 are identical on ubuntu by default [16:29] salve a tutti [16:30] wow, ubuntu screws everything up [16:30] nickrud, I dont need to install the scripts, just place them in the folder right ? [16:30] gnufied: okay, do you have access to your filesystem [16:30] soundray, no, i just removed them all. call me crazy [16:30] wng--: it inherits that behavior from debian. I'm not sure why you think anything is screwed up [16:30] buckie correct [16:30] wng--, i am in recovery mode and i have access to fs [16:30] gnufied: okay, create an xorg.conf in the usual place [16:31] gnufied: only include these 3 lines: [16:31] can anyone tell me how to get xdcc downloading to work? [16:31] Can ubuntu read XD cards? It doesnt seem to load Xd on my laptop. But SD works [16:31] gnufied: Section "Device" [16:31] in xchat [16:31] nickrud, im installing a script to mount iso files, but i dont get the "scripts" option when rightclick the files [16:31] gnufied: Identifier "Card0" [16:31] gnufied: Driver "vesa" [16:31] wng--, paste it somewhere? [16:31] what is realy fucked up, is that ubuntu/debian starts a load of services when you install them [16:31] gnufied: okay [16:31] >_> [16:32] gnufied: wng-- forgot EndSection [16:32] it's like the 3.rd worst idea from a security standpoint, ever [16:32] how can i change the default white foregound color of xterm to green ,guys? [16:32] gnufied: http://pastebin.com/m6bb0abef [16:32] MrElendig: please use professional language in here [16:32] gnufied: after that, save xorg.conf and try booting, it should be okay, I had that same problem with F9 the other day [16:33] gnufied: before you boot... [16:33] MrEmlendig: at least its not like windows [16:33] MrElendig: What services does Ubuntu install by default? [16:33] soundray, yeah? [16:33] MrElendig: none, that I'm aware of. [16:33] MrElendig: internet facing, that is. [16:33] gnufied: do the 'update-rc.d gdm -f remove' so it gives you virtual consoles instead of trying to boot straight into X [16:34] buckie try killall nautilus , that should make it see the script [16:34] gnufied: if 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start' works with the vesa driver, you can restore it with 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults' [16:34] Allright guys.... issue: Everytime i play a fullscreen game, it randomly jumps out of fullscreen [16:34] I've just upgraded to hardy, and have some weird locales problems.

[19:19] can someone help me install fonts [19:19] Mr_Cool59: pretty much any player will use the m3u files [19:19] sory for interupting, but how is the file called for vim like when it starts it auto execs some commands? [19:19] IWantMoreCowBell: what fonts are you trying to install? [19:20] truetype [19:20] Mr_Cool59: You do have to make sure that the paths in the m3u files are correct though, ie. c:\Program Files\junk\mp3z\ will not work [19:20] RAdams: Is there another source I could try? I'm trying to install ubuntu-desktop right now and dont want to wait 5 hours, normally it takes about 30 minutes to install [19:20] hello, i came back, i cant access internet in recovery mode [19:20] stupid winblowz and their backslashes [19:20] i have a gwl-g122 usb and it works with the rt73usb module in normal mode, but when i get into recovery i am not connected [19:21] EvilDennisR, what gives you the right to blame windows? [19:21] Hey im at the end of my rope here i cant compile any packages, my configure function will not complete, can i send someone my config.log to see if they can figure it out, no one has yet, please? [19:21] IWantMoreCowBell: the files need to be inside /usr/share/fonts, anywhere in there is fine, but for organization's sake there's already a truetype folder. After you drop them in, rebuild the font cache with sudo fc-cache -f -v [19:21] why is installing fonts on linux so "different" [19:21] robuntu: sure, pastebin the file and I'll look at it [19:22] robuntu: Whats the issue you're having ? [19:22] ok my shares are fine....I cannot see VISTA anymore [19:22] ok i have the latest kernel version, make, automake, gcc and build-essential but i cant compile anything, it wont make any makefile execs, i run through the ./configure and it does its thing, then i type make and it says it cannot locate a makefile exec, its a fresh install and updated. [19:22] I am unable to drop files into the fonts folder [19:22] !fonts > IWantMoreCowBell (read the private message from ubottu) [19:22] I did a new share... to a Documents and that worked [19:22] IWantMoreCowBell: just drop them into ~/.fonts [19:22] evil: the ./configure says error C cannot create executables [19:22] robuntu: If it can't find a makefile then thats specific to the stuff you are making.. [19:22] IWantMoreCowBell: you have to have root access to do that. Hit Alt+F2 and in the run box type "gksu nautilus /usr/share/fonts" [19:22] robuntu: what are you compiling? [19:22] robuntu: What are you compiling by hand anyways ? [19:23] im having trouble installing ubuntu hardy heron. I select "Install" press F6 to add options and push enter to start install. what does it do? its boots the live system into aterminal of all things. any idea what the problem might be? [19:23] nmap [19:23] robuntu: nmap is in the repositories [19:23] :) [19:23] !info nmap | robuntu [19:23] robuntu: nmap (source: nmap): The Network Mapper. In component main, is extra. Version 4.53-3 (hardy), package size 988 kB, installed size 3424 kB [19:23] also I am looking for the 'expert' option. I have read through all the possible flags and there doesnt seem to be one [19:23] robuntu: have you tried updating/installing binutils? [19:23] robuntu: The days of compiling stuff by hand have been replaced by nice packages.. [19:23] robuntu: you need build-essential in any case [19:23] flags for what mercuree [19:23] hello what app can i use to open microsoft databases [19:23] jrib: He has build-essential [19:24] s0ullight: openoffice [19:24] nevermind, I got VideoLan [19:24] please help me fix my wireless, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/21190/ [19:24] s0ullight you probaly already hvae it openoffice [19:24] c_lisp expet installation. ie with hardy you typed 'expert' [19:24] s0ullight: microsoft databases? what is that? [19:24] EvilDennisR: well ok, but somethings arnt in the repositories, what do i do then? [19:24] EvilDennisR: then he did it wrong :) [19:24] in hoary i meant [19:24] my parents recently installed wlan and now my mum asked me to configure it for her on her laptop; how do I "remote-configure" NetworkManager via SSH (with X forwarding)? [19:24] how can i get my audigy2 zs notebook to work with ubuntu 8.04 [19:24] What's the difference between the red-arrow updates and the orange-explodey updates? [19:24] does any1 know how the package is called, which contains the nice network manager applet for the gnome panel? [19:24] s0ullight: oh.. you mean MS Access files?.. openoffice then [19:24] robuntu: Did you enable all of the other sources? restricted multiverse etc.. ? [19:24] !info nm-applet [19:24] i have open office but not the database part of it i think how can i be sure? [19:24] Package nm-applet does not exist in hardy [19:24] please help me fix my wireless, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/21190/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/21191/ [19:25] what happened to shared folders under the system menu? [19:25] RyanPrior: package is NetworkManager [19:25] kora: see RAdams' post. [19:25] Evil: yea but ill work around it i seemed to have so far [19:25] !paste [19:25] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [19:25] bah epic is awful [19:26] robuntu: did you try to 'apt-get install binutils'? [19:26] robuntu: You can always use apt-cache search to look for a program/package [19:26] please help me fix my wireless, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/21190/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/21191/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/21192/ - thanks! :) [19:26] hey i can't open the file open office wants to open it with write [19:26] jpeirce: will try now [19:26] How come there is no packages for frontends to video encoders like ffmpeg, mencoder? [19:26] s0ullight: hmm.. perhaps you have to import it.. hang on. [19:27] Miesco, They are libs, any program can use them [19:27] s0ullight: I have something called "openoffice database".. you don't? [19:27] nope [19:27] can anyone help me out with this message im getting in /var/log/messages http://paste.ubuntu.com/21193/ [19:27] OK my new problem with Samba since Hardy : Shares are fine on my side. But when trying to see VISTA shares they don't work any more. [19:27] only writer sreadsheet and drawing [19:27] Drk_Guy: I know, but there is no GUI frontends to the libs [19:27] In the repository [19:27] s0ullight: are you running regular ubuntu hardy? [19:27] yep [19:27] any ideas why there are no manual pages for firefox after the latest update? [19:27] Miesco, Try getting a multimedia encoder somwhere [19:28] jpeirce: i already have the latest binutils [19:28] robuntu: hrm, odd :x [19:28] Lapinux: Those are ordinary log messages, whts the issue ? [19:28] anyone got spdif working with ALSA? [19:28] RyanPrior: network-manager and network-manager-gnome are installed on my system, however the only applet i have is the "network monitor" and not the one that can manage my connections [19:28] jpeirce: yea no one can figure it out [19:28] Slart, do i have to install it i can't find it [19:28] kora_: Couldn't tell you, then. [19:28] robuntu: do you have g++ installed? [19:28] Can anybody tell me the difference between the red-arrow updates and the orange-explodey updates? [19:28] s0ullight: check in Add/Remove software.. there is a openoffice database package there [19:28] EvilDennisR: im wondering what to do about the "driver sr needs updating" message [19:29] OKI does not have drivers for Linux !!!! So should I buy a new printer [19:29] jpeirce: i think let me check [19:29] RyanPrior: thanks anyway [19:29] RyanPrior: red arrow ones are serious ;-) [19:29] ok [19:29] Lapinux: are you a kernel hacker? [19:29] Buy a HP printer :) [19:29] Lapinux: Unless its preventing you from ordinary operation, I wouldn't worry about it [19:29] RyanPrior: red arrow = security or major distribution upgrade orange = normal [19:29] I got mine working [19:29] jpeirce: i do indeed have it installed === BLiNkS is now known as Blinkon [19:29] what is the command to list the contents of a package? [19:29] EvilDennisR: i was having issues with burning cd's and i took it that its talking about my writer so i thought there was something i could do...? [19:29] robuntu: 64 or 32 bit? [19:29] gordonjcp: no [19:30] anyone know how to make devede use multicore? [19:30] iae galera [19:30] Lapinux: don't sweat it then [19:30] alguem brasil ? [19:30] wheres the samba/nfs GUI config tool? [19:30] jpeirce: 32 [19:30] Lapinux: basically it's complaining about old-fashioned code in part of the kernel [19:30] I just bought a colour OKI LED printer. Is there no way to get drivers for linux [19:30] gordonjcp: i see, im not going to worry about that then ;) [19:30] can someone tell me how to refresh the wireless networks in linux? [19:31] robuntu: try installing libc6, im not sure what the actual package is called [19:31] jpeirce: in synaptic? [19:31] IWantMoreCowBell: what model is it? [19:31] the only reason i caught it was i thought i saw a bunch of duplicate messages when i booted up, thought maybe the updates i just did might of done something [19:31] robuntu: yep, any of ubuntu's package mangagers would work [19:31] the printer model is C3200 [19:31] robuntu: There is a package for nmap [19:32] Hey guys is gnome better than kde? [19:32] EvilDennisR: that doesn't solve his problem that his compiler is broken [19:32] Hodge: yes [19:32] EvilDennisR: i know thats fine, but i would still like to get the issue resolved incase i need to, plus i enjoy doing things by hand now and then [19:32] jpeirce: its already installed [19:33] Scott12: you'll have to download the latest version [19:33] Scott12: the one in the repos doesn't do multi-core [19:33] robuntu: hrm :( [19:33] ah ok [19:33] any ideas why there are no manual pages for firefox after the latest update? [19:33] Hodge: the gnome people say yes, the kde people say no [19:33] robuntu: how about libc6-dev? [19:33] Why do people use kde if gnome is so much better? [19:33] jpeirce: you wouldnt be the first stumped, any help is good help [19:34] Hodge: I hear kde4 is supposed to be nice.. slim and shiny [19:34] Hodge: it's all about choice [19:34] Slart, what's just the cli command to install that open office database app [19:34] Hodge: because prefer kde over gnome [19:34] jpeirce: yep all of the libc6 packages are installed [19:34] s0ullight: hang on.. I'll check [19:34] robuntu: okay... [19:34] Hodge: because some people prefer kde over gnome [19:34] Hodge: Its really the comparison of people who like vanilla icecream vs people who like chocolate [19:34] i prefer gnome over kde [19:34] Hodge: It depends on what you like =) [19:34] s0ullight: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-base [19:34] what is the command to list the contents of a package? [19:34] but it's not to say i hate KDE [19:34] RAdams: apt-cache show packagename [19:34] ok, so it looks like perhaps this is what I need... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#head-cbc75fcb762da2057fa8dbe904358e4b611353c0 [19:35] what package is the GUI tool for samba/nfs in? [19:35] * qopi tries it [19:35] EvilDennisR: thanks [19:35] RAdams: dpkg -L PACKAGE [19:35] Is there a list of pros and cons perhaps I can read over? [19:35] robuntu: just out of curiousity, have you tried 'apt-get remove build-essential' and then reinstalling it? [19:35] Hodge: just try both and use the one you prefer [19:35] Hello, can anyone here help me out with QGRUBEditor? [19:35] RAdams: wait, did you mean show what gets installed ? [19:35] jpeirce, robuntu: I'd try purging binutils directly and reinstalling that [19:35] jpeirce: nope but it sounds like a good plan [19:35] Hodge: many comparisons on the web. But as jrib said, you should try both and choose for yourself [19:35] It's a very simple problem which I'm guessing has a very easy solution. [19:35] RAdams: apt-cache show or dpkg -L [19:36] EvilDennisR: you gave me what I needed. Thanks :) [19:36] robuntu: add to that list binutils as well, shouldnt hurt anything [19:36] I'm trying to make my GRUB have a splash image. I'm using QGRUBEditor to make that happen. I can add the image, I can even preview it. However, it just doesn't show when booting up and viewing GRUB... Anyone? Please? Been hassling with this for an hour now :) [19:37] duxo: never heard of a QGRUBEditor.. we just recommend editing the config files with a text editor [19:37] Slart, tnx man :D [19:37] duxo: apt-get install startupmanager [19:37] Slart: Yeah, well, that might be a problem for me considering I've been using Linux for less than 24 hours :) [19:37] why was the "Shared Folders" tool taken our of hardy? [19:37] s0ullight: you were able to open the file now? [19:37] duxo: startupmanager has an easy way to setup a splash screen [19:38] EvilDennisR: Thx! [19:38] duxo: it will show up under system -> administration when you install it [19:38] still downloading the .deb packages [19:38] anyone got a source on ktorrent 3.1 deb? [19:38] duxo: naah.. we'll walk you through it.. you might even learn something in the process =) [19:38] qtgrubeditor works for me... never tried to setup a new splash image though [19:38] jpeirce: whoh weird, i think you might have been the winner, in my synaptic it said it was installed, but when i went to remove it in term, it said not installed so im reinstalling it now [19:38] duxo: what are you trying to do? [19:38] EvilDennisR: in addition to what you gave me, is there a way from commandline to output all the files a package installs, and where they go? [19:38] robuntu: cross your fingers :) [19:38] duxo: ahh.. grub splash.. oh.. [19:39] Slart: i'll try the easy version with apt-get =) [19:39] RAdams: Yeah, dpkg -L [19:39] jpeirce: *crosses hard* [19:39] EvilDennisR: I'm using Mint Elyssa though. [19:39] hi yes im trying to listen too streaming radio using streamtuner but i get a error [19:39] Failed to execute child process "xmms" (no such file or directory). [19:39] So I doubt I'll have the required reps? [19:39] samba is refusing connection to my VM, how do i let it connect? [19:39] jpeirce: HAHAHAHA woo hoo i think its working [19:40] duxo: if you apt-get install startupmanager it should install the additional stuff it needs [19:40] robuntu: awesome [19:40] RogueX, Sounds like you need to install xmms. sudo apt-get install xmms [19:40] jpeirce: omg its so pretty look at all the lines [19:40] what? [19:40] robuntu: must have been a failed install or something [19:40] wheres some dood docs on learning ubuntu? [19:40] RogueX: xmms isn't available any more.. it wasn't maintained so they removed it [19:40] xmms is not in the repository anymore [19:40] EvilDennisR: Then it's sudo apt-get install startupmanager? [19:40] oh ok [19:40] !xmms [19:40] For the reason why xmms is no longer in the hardy repositories see: http://bugs.debian.org/461309 . Consider using audacious instead. [19:40] soo i cant use that? [19:40] RogueX: its not recommended [19:40] duxo: Yeah.. Sorry, I'm old skool, I just assume everyone is at a root prompt =) [19:41] RogueX, AFAIK most other audio applications can handle streams. [19:41] RogueX: I don't know if audacious works as a drop in replacement.. [19:41] what else can i use ? [19:41] When I've started vdr with runvdr... How can I use it? I mean, where does it run? It doesn't run on TTY7, on TTY8 there's the vdr log [19:41] RogueX, ie. amarok, rhythmbox, banshee, etc [19:41] EvilDennisR: xD [19:41] i tryed vlc but it drops out [19:41] !players | RogueX [19:41] RogueX: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [19:41] jpeirce: must have im a newb to linux, in windows un/reinstall would have been first in my mind never crossed it here [19:41] is there is commandline tool for sending email? [19:41] ok thanks [19:41] i have heard of mutt but im looking for something that someone already uses and enjoys [19:41] schmitty_: I think mail or mailx might work [19:42] schmitty_: several...try mutt or pine? [19:42] schmitty_: mail, mailx, mutt, sendmail, pine, elm [19:42] schmitty or telnet :) [19:42] ok thanks guys [19:42] lol [19:42] schmitty_: there are some perl scripts too.. [19:42] no telnet [19:42] schmitty_: you want to send a mail in a script? or just read your mail from a command line server? [19:42] ugh i knew i shouldnt have upgraded. i've upgraded from 6.10 to 7.04. I have an outdated version of linux-restricted-modules or xorg driver. When I go to reinstall linux-restricted-modules-generic it says its not possible, it cannot be downloaded [19:42] I'm really struggling to get a printer share with samba to work. It works from CUPS no problem. I can see it with samba, but I get access denied when I try to open it's properties or print a test page from windows [19:42] also, why wont it let me upgrade to 8.04? [19:43] omg it worked ! [19:43] Can anyone help? It's driving me crazy [19:43] hello [19:43] !ask | VSpike [19:43] VSpike: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

Without it, my laptop doesn't have enough memory [19:43] Drk_Guy: He already asked [19:43] lol, sorry then [19:43] Slart: basic things for right now no attachments yet [19:43] schmitty_: ah.. then I guess mutt or pine will work nicely [19:43] I need it to install ubuntu [19:43] ok thanks Slart [19:44] vspike did you make sure you have write permissions === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [19:44] c_lisp: http://pastebin.com/f61b0765c smb.conf here [19:44] when i look at my sources.list it still shows edgy when i am actually using 7.10 now.

Could someone direct me to disabling cupsd's use of /dev/parport0 ? I require the parallel port for AVR programming, and not USB printing :) [21:52] i dont remember if i burned RC of 8.04 or final [21:52] im on live cd [21:52] evildennisr a oneliner? [21:52] can i check if im on final iso easly ? [21:52] JoshGr: I forgot whether it was there already, if not, create it [21:52] I can't get my ati (fglrx) drivers to work with the latest kernel [21:52] anybody here know about nvidia dual head? [21:52] kyncani, alsa is set as default [21:52] hi, i'm trying to install ubuntu from a livecd, but the livecd has errors so i'm trying to use a mounted good iso on a connected usb drive [21:53] unavailable: That will change all occurances of hd2 to hd0 and put everything back in menu.lst [21:53] why does scrolling in firefox knock out all sound output to the speakers on ubuntu? [21:53] anyone able to help me figure out how to tell the ubuntu installer to use the mounted filesystem, rather than the cd? [21:53] marko-_-: well, i guess you may try the different output modules in vlc (like alsa, pulse audio, oss and see if one of them is working, alsa being my preference at the moment) [21:53] evildennisr aah [21:53] Heya, all. I'm having a problem in that /var/cache/apt appears to have been removed on this machine [21:53] Jack_Sparrow: ok i know how to make a sep home :P now i dont know how to install the ubuntu without formating the whole HD :) [21:53] quinten, can you boot from the drive? [21:53] And now none of the pacakge manager type tools will run [21:54] marko-_-: also make sure you have the volume up in vlc [21:54] slayton: it's a drive that has all of my backups, so i'd rather not reformat it [21:54] evildennisr now is there an option to confirm changes? [21:54] Does anyone know if pure-ftpd can be made to keep incomplete uploads? The man does not seem to be clear about it. [21:54] Jack_Sparrow, so I just delete one from the file? [21:54] evildennisr or a "stop when" option? [21:54] slayton: also haven't tried booting from usb on my computer, so not sure if that would work [21:54] one of the swaps [21:54] kyncani, i don't know where to change it it just says that alsa is being used as deault... can't change it [21:54] i can't see an option where to change it [21:54] If you mobo is less then 3 or 4 years old it should support usb booting [21:55] Help needed --> anyone have any ideas as to how I can tell CUPS to stop holding hands with /dev/parport0? [21:55] Dillizar when you get to partitioning... go manual.. dont put a check in the format box for your /home and make sure you set .dev.sdax whatever it is to /home by selecting the partition and then edit [21:55] !mp3 [21:55] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [21:55] Jack_Sparrow: is there a way i can check if i booted from final ubuntu 8.04 ? [21:55] and kyncani the picture in vlc isn't good either.. [21:55] !nvidia [21:55] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:56] I am also trying to get mp3 // vlc working properly [21:56] marko-_-: preferences -> audio -> output modules gives a module list, just try them all. [21:56] Erg1 I dont know how, but you could md5 the cd you used to install? [21:56] so.... why does scrolling in firefox knock out all sound output to the speakers on ubuntu? [21:56] slayton: probably true, but if it's possible to tell the installer to use the filesystem i mounted, i'd prefer that [21:56] i get 3 seconds of sound then it breaks [21:56] can you not boot into the ubuntu cd to install it like windows [21:56] Jack_Sparrow: im not sure how, can i md5 the cd im booted with ? [21:56] marko-_-: as for the quality and interface, i don't like vlc very much but when nothing else is working, well ... [21:57] quinten, I'm pretty sure you can do it... I was reading about how to restore grub via the live cd and I came across some instructions like that.. but I'm not quite sure [21:57] Slayerwhite, you want the alternate CD [21:57] Erg1 I dont know if that is possible or not [21:57] can anyone provide the skinny on updating to the firefox 3 final release? [21:57] so i just need just not to select the home particion ? Jack_Sparrow right [21:57] Bizzeh: Have you tried selecting ALSA in all the fields on the first page of System ---> Preferences ---> Sound ? [21:57] kyncani, woops... i needed to chose the "profesional look" if you know what i mean... and about the quality the picture is violate... (don't know if it's spelled like that) [21:57] i cant connect to encrypted networks -- how can i get around this? [21:57] is there a trick to get postfix to work with php?

I'll just download the first Mbs to see if i can open it here [21:58] can i use ls to find out how many *.mp3 files there are in a givne directory and its subdirectorys? [21:58] quinten, you could try the alternate install [21:59] gui free [21:59] ls -al *mp3 | wc -l [21:59] MrPocknix_: ls *.mp3|wc [21:59] it does that in every file.. not only in one... so i don't see the need to sending a file [21:59] In the drop-down fields, there should only be one entry for ALSA. There are other non-ALSA specific entries [21:59] whats the wc? [21:59] d'accord Jack_Sparrow thank you very alot [21:59] anyone here familiar with squid. mine is dropping everything, if I chose and reopen firefox and go back through the same webpages, just about everything is a miss and gets downloaded again. http://pastebin.com/f44bbb1a7 [21:59] SpaceApache: doing that seems to drop all sound completly [21:59] line count [21:59] MrPocknix_, find dir -name "*.mp3" | wc -l [21:59] ls -al will not search on subdirs [21:59] kyncani, it does that in every file.. not only in one... so i don't see the need to sending a file [21:59] man -k wc [21:59] Dillizar If you have any question.. make notes and come back.. it is not a mistake you can recover from later [21:59] got it [21:59] Anyone have a second to help me with sound been trying allday [22:00] marko-_-: in every file, so it's not a malformed / not very well formed avi file [22:00] I just installed my latest fx drivers and i restarted and it went into low graphics mode, so i had to manualy configure my monitor model and fx drivers, and then i reboot but 3d acceleration is not active, so i enable it and it tells me to restart so i do and it goes back to low graphics mode, im stuck in a loop, if this helps after installing the drivers under nvidia xserver settings, when i open it it says, You do not appear to be u [22:00] kyncani, i don't know what you mean... but it does that in .mp4 files and .avi files (didn't try others now) [22:00] k k Jack_Sparrow but i have a wuestion my home is bigger than the free space ?? what should i do [22:00] slayton: is that on the live cd? or do i need to download a new disk image? i would have just burned this one but i can't burn a cd w/o taking out the live cd, and i already blew away the existing filesystem so i can't boot to get a cd burner ... [22:00] i am 100% sure that if i restart the X now it will work for a while like it always does kyncani [22:01] where can i find the alternate cd at [22:01] hmm [22:01] how can i set the files and folders in the website that i have on localhost to have permission to execute [22:01] Hello, is there any easy way to reinstall a package with apt? I broke some files in Perl and want to reinstall but can't bare to reinstall all the deps... [22:01] any time i add this entire directory to Banshees library, a lot of folders are missing [22:01] I'm having some trouble accessing an internal drive - can anyone talk me through 'Authorizations'? [22:01] and when i go and add the indicidual folder, its fine, and will play [22:01] chmod +x file [22:01] Bizzeh: Odd. In the drop-down list under "Default Mixer Tracks" select your sound card. There could be a couple of entries, try to make sure it's the branded one. It's easier too if you have 1 card :) [22:01] Dillizar copy cant help you if you dont have room .. you can consider backing it up to another media [22:02] quinten, I think the alternate install is a seperate disc [22:02] sorry [22:02] marko-_-: i see, well, in vlc, if you have the audio working, you could try different video drivers (also in settings) [22:02] SpaceApache: i have 3 cards (pci audigy, built in realtek and ati hdmi).. but they are all branded, and i did try that, i cant seem to get any sound at all unless i use auto detect [22:03] !audio | Bizzeh did you see this? [22:03] Bizzeh did you see this?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [22:03] kyncani, i tried what you told me... the sound still doesn't work :( [22:03] how much free space do you have on your external hdd? You might consider partitining the drive with the liveCD. coping the liveCD image to the new partition and try booting from the drive. then you can reburn a valid install cd [22:03] quinten: see post above [22:03] quinten: I forgot to post your name... [22:03] peppo you still there? [22:03] kyncani, but like playing music and stuff works :/ [22:03] marko-_-: has the sound ever worked ? As in playing a mp3 or ogg ? [22:03] unavailable: what was you question? [22:03] Jack_Sparrow: can i copy resize copy resize or thats to much for my hard [22:03] Can someone walk me through how to install Virtualbox in 8.04?

[22:04] Dillizar see how big /var/cache/apt/archives is? [22:04] thanks [22:04] it's a short walk [22:04] Dillizar I have a hard time relating with a few tb here [22:04] masterof9puupets dont do ose, use sun instead [22:04] Bizzeh: Which one do you actually use, normally? If you need to use multiple cards, you're going to have fun with jack-audio-connection-kit :) [22:05] Masterof9puppets: Master, master! Where's the dreams that I've been after? [22:05] * Masterof9puppets pulls solid_liq's strings [22:05] go to virtualbox.org and click download, then click binaries, then select your distro [22:05] * Masterof9puppets twists his mind and tells him things [22:05] marko-_-: yeah, i've heard that before, but one of the releases is bound to be the worst and one the better ;) [22:05] heheh [22:05] SpaceApache: i generaly use my creative card, the other 2 are there for a very complex setup in windows :S [22:05] Bizzeh: myself, I have 2 cards. Onboard nVidia, and M-Audio 2496 PCI card, but I only use the M-Audio [22:05] unavailable: thats what i've been trying to do [22:05] ok...

[22:07] Nevermind, most of it does [22:07] danbhfive: you still there ? [22:07] marko-_-: well, i don't see what could be your problem, very sorry. If you want, you can send me the beginning of one video file you cannot play and i would tell you if it's working here (for what it's worth). All your video files may have been encoded by a tool that's not so good [22:07] its like 500 pages of code though [22:07] marko-_-: no problem, you can try ubuntu-offtopic if you want [22:07] is there a way that I can force the mounting on an NTFS drive in 8.04?

[22:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/21234/ [22:08] kyncani, ok i'll try... should i send it over irc or how ? [22:08] davetarmac: is it about a external hdd that you cant mount ?

Its a second one that I have connected (750gb all NTFS). Im confused with the fstab thing. [22:09] aah [22:09] this is the .mp4 file [22:09] marko-_-: your problem is in line 5475. [22:09] doubled: the error I get when double clicking on it's icon is that it wasn't cleanly shut down [22:09] dave, was it connected to a windows computer before ? [22:09] marko-_-: jk [22:09] Dillizar I dont have time as I need to leave soon.... We can work on it later or ask for help here... [22:09] can gstreamer make use of the w32codecs or do i need an xine backend? [22:09] BCM43, what ? [22:09] hey guys I keep downloading software, but I have no idea what folder ubuntu is sticking it in. Where do packages go after I install them? [22:09] i can only seem to get sound via ESD [22:09] doubled: yes it was [22:09] lol:> [22:09] masterof9puppets and what distro do you have?

[22:10] ok vbox broke with the new kernel.. .how do i fix that? i've uninstalled and reinstalled all of the vbox packages to no avail [22:10] then you can do 2 things [22:10] Smokalotapotamus: the actual executable parts are usually in /usr/bin [22:10] Masterof9puppets: wget that URL and chmod +x it [22:10] masterof9puppets 32 bit or 64? [22:10] 64 [22:10] 1. go to neigbhours 2. download live windows cd [22:11] how do I chmod +x it jbroome? [22:11] thanls Stommy [22:11] brandon|work: why are you using ie7?

[22:11] brandon|work: ah, its almost crashing firefox3 [22:11] yes [22:11] i use ie7, because i still find firefox to be far more irritating. [22:11] but what you need to do is [22:11] I love FF [22:11] "safely remove hardware" [22:11] so what now kyncani ? [22:12] but I have to use IE [22:12] because windows changes a setting in the hdd [22:12] doubled: super - I'll go and try to find a windows box. thanks for the advice [22:12] no problem :) [22:12] Masterof9puppets: i think that is the source code for windows vista [22:12] i have to use ie7, ie6, ff2, ff3, safari and opera... it sucks... (i hate doing web stuff, it blows) [22:13] ok vbox broke with the new kernel.. .how do i fix that? i've uninstalled and reinstalled all of the vbox packages to no avail [22:13] Bizzeh: there are thinks that will let you see it fromthe view point of other browsers, and there is user agent switcher. [22:13] ok that is strange... kyncani when i open the fille in kaffeine (the picture is good but no sound) and when kaffeine is running i open it in vlc it's the same... picture good, but no sound..

Is anyone there that can anwser my question [22:14] Masterof9puppets: it is still loading [22:14] QAH: ask [22:14] BCM43: i prefer the direct way.. there are no arguments then. if i see it working in that exact browser, people cant say it doesnt work in that browser [22:14] BCM43: Really?! haha [22:14] Bizzeh: ah [22:14] Can I install ubuntu 7.10 on a usb flash drive and run it? [22:15] Masterof9puppets: i just closed it, i think it is randomly generating stuff [22:15] QAH: i dont thinks so [22:15] Why not? [22:15] marko-_-: that is strange, i wonder if it's not the damn pulse audio thing. I have disabled pulse audio here.

[22:16] and btw kyncani in the sound settings (system-settings-audio) the tab "music and movies" when i click on test the sound works [22:16] Bizzeh: I take it you use all the surround features then? In which case, you'll probably need to multi-select a few tracks ("front", "rear" and "center") [22:17] marko-_-: well, i'm using kde here so i just made sure kaffeine, vlc and xine were not looking for pulse audio. If you're using gnome, i suppose you should find some good directions on ubunruforums.org [22:17] QAH: firewire or usb?

[22:19] BCM43: Oh boy. Well, when I install it from the live cd, can I pick what HDD I wan't to install it on? [22:20] exco: yes, it sets a bit saying it wasn't a clean shutdown [22:20] QAH: you mean which you do? [22:20] KlrSpz: is there a way around that? [22:20] lbci: Sun's.

I don't like setting up my workspace every time I switch OS' - so can I force to access those disk's although that bit is set? [22:21] BCM43: Okay. I have one more question. Why doesn't my keyboard allows me to choose different options when the live cd is about to start up? [22:21] i think there is a conspiracy going on with computers.. they are a badly designed technology for a reason... to make you buy the new stuff, if they where designed via the design i drew up in college, you would only ever need 1 motherboard again, and after that everything else would be another transparent addition meaning that an ata, sata, usb, firewire hdd would all be the same, as would be all roms and flash cards. there would [22:21] be an infinatly divisable number of periferals you could add to the system... but, this dream will never come to light [22:21] lbci: openjdk-6-jdk and openjdk-6-jre [22:21] how do i edit the grub text file?

[22:23] BCM43: No, just anytime. Like when the live cd starts up, they allow you to start the live cd, install ubuntu and some other options. When I press up or down on my Keyboard, nothing happens. So I have to wait for the second counter to finish before I can start ubuntu [22:23] noor: im not quite sure, but i would follow ubottu [22:23] pbryan: also apt-get -f install, apt-get autoremove, for any lingering dependencies? [22:24] Anyone got time to walk me through how to setup tv-out on my ATI card? [22:24] QAH: no idea why, you could try the alt cd.

Anything else that the official installation method and you're on your own (basically) [22:25] QAH: Thats probably why you can't move around the boot menu [22:25] pbryan: see last msg bout deps?

[22:26] \A\lex: tightVNC [22:26] Nitricacid: maybe later then :P.. writing a book at the min [22:26] EvilDennisR: Yup you got it [22:26] \A\lex: or SSH [22:26] Question: How can I enforce how disks are to be ordered by the system? e.g. I want device x to be seen as /dev/sda, device y to be seen as /dev/sdb, device z should be seen as /dev/sdc .... and so on? Any way to do that? [22:26] Guys.. I NEED HELP... virtualbox-ose broke with the new kernel.. .how do i fix that? i've uninstalled and reinstalled all of the vbox packages to no avail [22:26] QAH: Your usb keyboard will work once the boot starts, but the grub menu gets retarded for weird usb keyboards like yours sometimes [22:26] <\A\lex> Nitricacid, I want to be able to use remote-control/access though. [22:26] \A\lex: i recommend "putty" [22:26] \A\lex: SSH [22:26] EvilDennisR: Can I download a live cd for the new linux 8.04? [22:26] \A\lex: +1 for ssh (with putty in windows) [22:26] putty is godly [22:26] putty + winspc [22:27] <\A\lex> As far as I know, you can't like, view the screen though?

[22:27] \A\lex: you bought a SERVER, there is no screen [22:27] \A\lex: its a server, there is no screen to view [22:27] EvilDennisR: I have the Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Live Cd [22:27] you can still have xorg running, and forward xorg requests [22:27] <\A\lex> I'll rephase then, view the desktop.

[22:27] what's with "i need a graphical interface" with servers now anyway [22:28] kyncani: its 1000x easier to do things? [22:28] is there a log or something where I can see what happened on boot when it goes thru the init stuff... udev [OK].. etc [22:28] QAH: Theres a possibility that your usb keyboard will work in the menu, but I can't promis anything. 8.04 is the latest version anyways, 7.10 is stale [22:28] pbryan: let me start my amd64 box up and run the update, will be a couple mins [22:28] lbci: I see a few more bug reports in Launchpad for this (though no workaround as yet). [22:28] EvilDennisR: I downloaded the 7.10 iso and burned it to my own cd myself. Can I do that with 8.04, or do I have to request a cd? [22:28] Nitricacid: yeah, I know, it was meant as a (maybe bad) joke ;) === Amunz0r is now known as Amun [22:28] lbci: /me walks away from my desk for about 15 mins. Feel free to PM me. [22:28] QAH: Nope, you can download the iso just as you did the last one [22:29] the reason i do use linux servers and not windows servers is not the price or anything else, its that i dont like configuring via a gui.. its like riding a bike with stabalisers on around a set track, with someone telling you how to do it as you do it [22:29] EvilDennisR: Can you please give me the link. I can't seem to find it for the life of me. [22:29] Bizzeh: that's a ignorant thing to say [22:29] i.e. you can only configure it as much as someone else allows you to configure it [22:30] you can completely configure windows servers without ever touching the gui [22:30] you just don't know what you're doing to be able to do so [22:30] KlrSpz: not 1/4 as easy [22:30] QAH: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [22:30] any french here ? [22:30] actually, yes you can [22:30] EvilDennisR: Thanks a lot man. [22:30] KlrSpz: ok then, via cmd.exe add a new user and create some virtual hosts on iis7 and create their security options for the user you created [22:30] when I do "sudo gnome-control-center" then go to users and groups ... everything in that dialog is grayed out ... I can't do anything [22:30] even when I do it as root [22:30] what's up with that ? [22:30] KlrSpz: i dont believe that at all, but its no big deal, fighting on the internet etc etc [22:30] I'm using nvidia twinview with dual monitors in hardy heron. I want my panels to be only on one monitor, not both. How do I do this? [22:30] EvilDennisR: Is 8.04 a great improvement over 7.10?

[22:33] nysin: yes that will DISPLAY the hash, but what can I use to CREATE the actual has file (i.e.: file.md5) ? [22:33] 804 is not for noobs?

E-mail, fax, telephone, web, SMS, etc. 24/7 without any requirement to obtain a court order, I was just wondering if someone knows a good guide or something for gpg-cryptated mail and such? :) [22:54] kyncani: i tried the ./configure it didnt work [22:55] starnestommy i used the tar.bz2 [22:55] How do I automount NTFS partition?

You remove them like any other package with synaptic. Just keep one or two old ones always in case you encounter a problem kernel-driver-related.

[23:25] thanks [23:25] abdulla: look at this too http://forum.soft32.com/linux2/screen-resolution-ubuntu-ftopict52834.html [23:25] Y-Town: lspci [23:25] zanberdo take a look at /usr/share/doc/changelog.Debian.gz , something about prng seeding. If you have that,you have that fix [23:25] tF' [23:25] ya [23:25] ? [23:26] home_ what kind of video card do you have? [23:26] BCM43, ok thnxs, hope thi helps [23:26] !tab > zanberdo [23:26] ati 9200 se nickrud [23:26] bcm43 i dont understand why he's not seeing the "nvidia accellerated graphics driver" in his "hardware drivers" dialog? [23:26] nickrud: and philips 107E6 [23:26] unavailable: im not sure, i got him to try some stuff [23:26] kuul [23:26] tF`delta: I'm sure someone will correct me if this is the wrong approach, but what I've done in the past was to install nvidia-xconfig, run it (which updates your xorg.conf file, then removed it. I beleive that when you install nvidia-xconfig it will want you to remove nvidia-settings. So you will have to reinstall nvidia-setting after removing nvidia-xconfig === [dmsuperman] is now known as dmsuperman [23:27] BCM43: thank you [23:27] home_ put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on paste.ubuntu.com [23:27] Y-Town: yw [23:27] i already tried but it had no use [23:27] How can I adjust how much my scroll wheel scrolls by? If possible...is there a way to have scroll wheel acceleration? [23:27] no diff [23:28] No ideas to my problem? :( [23:28] BCM43: thanks for the note, but I'm pretty comfortable with using tab. tF is using a back tick (`) not a tick (') hence the tab not working. [23:28] draginxx you find it?? [23:28] tF`delta: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=644515 [23:28] zanberdo: ah, i just used tf and tab for him [23:29] BCM43: yeah, next time. damn special case characters.... [23:29] "What would I like to do about menu.lst?" [23:29] BCM43, plz check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/21241/ [23:29] zanberdo: lol [23:29] I have no idea what to choose... [23:29] Would it be possible for me to run Linux on my spare hard drive? [23:29] Mortis: You would probably need to edit your BIOS [23:29] hi [23:29] hi! [23:30] hello [23:30] eboyjr: if you haven't modified your menu.lst file you might be ok, but it's always a good bet to back it up first. [23:30] but what has firefox 3????? it doesn't delete my personal datas.. for example, if I write something in the address bar there are the sites that I have visited recently [23:30] howdy [23:30] Guys, I only get a resolution of 800x600 on Ubuntu. This is my xorg http://paste.ubuntu.com/21241/. What to do? [23:30] I can't seem to be able to connect to a WPA network. [23:30] abdulla: Have you ever had a higher resolution? [23:30] abdulla: good idea asking in the channel, im not quite sure [23:30] eboyjr, yes [23:30] unavailable, yeah thanks mate :) [23:30] eboyjr, just before i did some updates [23:31] kuul [23:31] abdulla: You can probably copy the xorg.conf that you find on the Live CD if you have one. [23:31] hey guys, anyone have any success with VPN on a sonicwall? [23:31] rofl [23:31] hey, i downloaded the firefox 3.0 files, how do you install them (they are in .tar.bz2) [23:31] eboyjr, how do i do it [23:31] ksax i used ubuntuzilla [23:31] eboyjr, i have the live cd [23:31] ksax: firefox 3 is in the repositories, you shouldn't be downloading anything [23:32] !ff3 | ksax [23:32] ksax: Firefox 3 Final is currently mirroring to the package repositories. Please be patient. For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. [23:32] ksax, using the add/remote app. you can get firefox 3.0 there [23:32] ksax: you need to untar them [23:32] ksax but i had to edit the script to see tar.bz2 [23:32] ksax: tar -jxvf [23:32] :( [23:32] ksax, it should be an automatic update [23:32] sorry nickrud what did need it to pass you? [23:32] paytai: that is odd, try asking on the firefox irfc [23:32] VPN sonicwall anyone?? [23:32] ksax: or better yet, do what BCM43 suggested. :) [23:33] home_ /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:33] ksax sudo apt-get install firefox [23:33] DOES ANYONE HAVE TJ83 EMAIL [23:33] he can help me [23:33] how do you do what he suggested [23:33] hi, totem recently stopped showing the subtitle files(.srt) which share the same name with the movie.

[23:33] abdulla what kind of video card do you have? [23:33] ksax: you wait for the repo's to update, then simply apt-get upgate or aptitutde upgate [23:33] nickrud: i have 3 :D [23:34] !topic [23:34] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [23:34] here we go again [23:34] nickrud, nvidia [23:34] home_ heh. Maybe we'll try a different one [23:34] nickrud, nividia geforce 6150 [23:34] ksax: or use synaptec... whatever works for you (I prefer cli) [23:34] abdulla: my links did not work? [23:34] okay [23:34] abdulla try sudo nvidia-settings, if that doesn't work put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on paste.ubuntu.com [23:34] wait nickrud i have 2 and one is old [23:34] BCM43, no [23:34] abdulla: ok, sorry [23:34] Can someone help me connect to a WPA-PSK network. ? [23:35] home__ let's just work on the one in the machine :) [23:35] nickrud, /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:35] !ask | Duncan [23:35] Duncan: 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. :-) [23:35] nickrud, ?? [23:35] it keeps saying its the newest version [23:35] but when i open firefox it's beta 5 [23:35] abdulla open that file with gedit, and copy and paste to paste.ubuntu.com. That's the log of how your X server started, has a lot of clues [23:35] nickrud, i cant find: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:35] ksax: you must wait... be patient... the repos are updating... [23:35] ok [23:36] * zanberdo chants "the repos are updating..." [23:36] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21261/ [23:36] sorry -- i'm not having much patience [23:36] how long does it take for the repos to update? [23:36] * unavailable notices the topic, which cleanly states firefox 3's status [23:36] nickrud: and in some HZ the flash isnt working [23:36] nickrud, i found it [23:36] Duncan, I did that last night. This page really helped me http://www.jeremychapman.info/cms/wpa-on-ubuntu-dapper-6.06-lts [23:37] ksax: that's a question with no clear answer... [23:37] home_ abdulla you'll have to have patience with me, doing 3 things at once (one here) [23:37] ok [23:37] thanks [23:37] Seras_Ubuntu, Thanks, I'll try that. The problem I am having is that WPA networks don't show up as WPA networks. [23:38] nickrud, np :) === home__ is now known as Dillizar [23:38] Duncan: Oh. Well, I'm fairly new to Ubuntu (Linux in general, actually) so I don't have too much experience with anything aside what I've read. [23:38] nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu.com/21263/ [23:38] k nickrud but i have changed my nick now its no longer home is Dillizar [23:39] Hey guys, do you know how I can remotely admin my Ubuntu server using a Vista laptop? [23:39] RabidLockerGnome: openssh-server and putty [23:39] right on thanks [23:39] abdulla for you , you're using the vesa driver and not the nvidia driver for some reason. do system->admin->hardware drivers, select nvidia and reboot [23:40] I sudo apt got xmms2, it doesn't show up in the sound/video menu. [23:40] abdulla hopefully ... [23:40] Duncan: can you be more specific when you say the WPA networks don't show up as WPA. what do you mean? Which tools/utilities are you using to view available networks? have you tried iwlist scan? [23:40] nickrud, i cant find the driver there [23:40] RabidLockerGnome: try putty [23:40] Hello [23:40] I am looking to install Ubuntu [23:40] home_ yours is not so obvious. what vid res do you have now, and what do you want? [23:40] ksax i did this, i installed ubuntuzilla... then edited the /user/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py to to read .tar.bz2 instead of tar.gz and to see /usr/lib/firefox/plugins as the plugin path. then ran ubuntuzilla.py -a install -p firefox -g [23:40] abdulla it doesn't say anything about nvidia at all? [23:40] RabidLockerGnome: putty is freely available for windows platform. Install (if you haven't already) openssh-server on your server and user putty to ssh into the server. [23:41] I only have DVD's and downloaded the ubuntu iso. How do I burn the ubuntu iso to DVD so it'll boot? [23:41] zanberdo, I am using gnome network manager to find the networks. And when I try to connect to the WPA network It thinks that it is a normal unencrypted network. [23:41] nickrud: i have ati 9200 se but i cant put it on all Hz [23:41] nickrud, wow so thats why, ok how do i set it , any other way?? [23:41] abdulla do sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules , see if they are loaded. What version of ubuntu are you running? [23:41] when typing about: in my firefox, it says im using firefox 1.9, but i have 3.0 - known bug or should i report it? [23:41] nickrud, 8.06 [23:41] hi, has anyone been using apt-get? The repositories that came with my ubuntu distros can't seem to find apache [23:42] Dillizar all hertz? Not sure what you mean. [23:42] pist0l-fish: what about apache2? [23:42] Hi, is there a way to burn Ubuntu iso to dvd so it'll boot? [23:42] sorry nickrud miss read :P [23:42] Duncan: ok. Sorry, this I can't help you with (I use KNetwork Manager for GUI interface). You might try opening a terminal and from the shell run iwlist scan and see what you get. You may have to provide your interface... [23:42] Starnestommy: ahh :D [23:42] Duncan: What type of Router/Reciever are you using? I believe I read somthing about certain drivers being incompatible. [23:42] nickrud, its downlaoding [23:42] nickrud, does that mean it will work? [23:43] abdulla more and more likely [23:43] knubbe: be sure you are in fact running the current version of firefox. check the path to the binary and be sure it's pointing to the right firefox. [23:43] The router is a WRT54G running dd-wrt. and my wireless card is an atheros ar5007 with madwifi drivers [23:43] nickrud, what will happen after the download finish [23:43] zanberdo, thanks for the help, now i just have to figure out why why my wireless access point isn't being detected [23:43] abdulla you will try the restricted driver step again [23:43] zanberdo: it's confirmed by other people in #ubuntu-se [23:43] nickrud, will i find the friver in the restricted drivers then simply enable it [23:43] ksax if you go that route... when you are editing your py file search for tar.gz and replace with tar.bz2 and then search for "plugin path" and replace the follwoing string with the plugin path [23:43] RabidLockerGnome: GL! :) [23:43] . [23:43] thanks :) [23:44] Duncan: Mmmm, Well, I'm running the same router, as a matter of fact. But the reciever is a Linksys as well. Have you had it working before on a different setup? [23:44] nickrud: 1152*864 75hz but when i put it on higher hz its jaming my monitor and my flash on mozilla or other browser is not working [23:44] Duncan: As in, will it work with no secutity enabled? [23:44] Seras_Ubuntu, I've never had WPA working before [23:44] knubbe: really? did they confirm that the version number is reporting incorrectly or that you are running the correct binary? [23:44] nickrud: and btw its saying that i have 15'' monitor [23:44] Seras_Ubuntu, It works with no encryption, It is what i am using right now. [23:45] zanberdo: that it displays the wrong text when using "about:", but if you go via help>about it says 3.0 [23:45] ok, you may need to fill in the horizontal and vertical refresh for your monitor in xorg.conf. Do you know the values? [23:45] Hey here is my lsmod i have system sounds working but mp3 and avi sound freezes up and stops http://paste.ubuntu.com/21260/ [23:45] nickrud: when i am at the monitor resolution settings its showing that i have a 15" Philips [23:45] say, anyone got experience using xmove with X connections forwarded over ssh connections? [23:45] nickrud: thats what you said the last time :D and i dunno [23:45] zanberdo: that it's reporting incorrectly to answer your question :-) [23:45] Duncan: Which security setting are you using for your router? WPA Personal, or WPA2? Or have you tried multiple? [23:46] knubbe: ok, so what was the questiont then again? If it's a known issue, someone else has likely reported it, but you can certainly look to see if they have an if not report it. [23:46] I've tried WPA and WPA2 [23:46] Dillizar but you don't agree? Then you need to identify the monitor by hand, look for the model number on the back. Are you the guy we found the specs by using the fcc id? [23:46] Duncan: can you get it to work with WEP? [23:46] hi can u give me that guide for installing ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run [23:46] again please [23:46] gordonjcp, I havent tried wep [23:46] Duncan: if I'm setting up "unknown" wifi stuff, I usually try no encryption, then WEP, then WPA [23:46] no nickrud but i am sure that is a 17" [23:47] Duncan: TKIP? (I'm really just running you through the settings I have working on my fresh install of Ubuntu.) [23:47] :D [23:47] zanberdo: if you're using the latest firefox, type "about:" in the location bar and it should display an image and say say firefox 3.0 (i suppose), but it says 1.9 [23:47] Seras_Ubuntu, Yeah, it was tkip [23:47] hello i enabled drive sharing in linux via gnome so that i could share with a windows computer. how do i connect to this share with windows? i am having some trouble here. [23:47] gordonjcp, I will try wep now [23:47] Dillizar look on the back, google the info there until you're sure you have the right monitor, then search for the vertical and horizontal refresh rates (specs) [23:47] Duncan: it's easier to track down weirdass broken things with no encryption at all, rather than wondering if you've got the magic incantations right [23:47] Hey here is my lsmod i have system sounds working but mp3 and avi sound freezes up and stops http://paste.ubuntu.com/21260/ [23:47] zanberdo: gotto run, will check later if its reported already, i just thought i should check here first :-) [23:48] after a few seconds [23:48] nickrud: its not 107E6 its 107e66 thats what on the back [23:48] knubbe: I'm not running 3.0. Not all the extention I need are available with it yet. However, I beleive you. I'm just suggesting that you are likely not the only one to notice and there may already be a bug up, but you should check it and if not, add one.. [23:48] Okay, I'm on my other computer now [23:48] Duncan: Well, aside from your reciever, all your settings are mirroring mine. So unless it's some other wierdass thing I can't think of. I'd look at your reciever's drivers/settings. [23:48] anyone? [23:48] zanberdo: ok! thanks for your assistance. happy midsummer [23:48] I'm going to see if WEP works right now, [23:50] Dillizar X has gotten the right specs for that monitor, http://www.superwarehouse.com/Philips_107E66_Black_17_CRT_Monitor/107E66_27/ps/431078 [23:50] Duncan_: WEP isn't very good, compared to WPA [23:50] Anyone know if I can create a symlink from /FTP to /var/ftp? [23:50] Duncan_: you're talking minutes rather than several hours to crack ;-) [23:50] afallenhope: not to be a smartass, but have you tried? :) [23:50] Duncan_: otoh there's a *lot* less to go wrong [23:50] nickrud: 30 - 60 KHz horizontal scan and 50 - 75 KHz vertical refres [23:51] yeah, that is my motivation for using WPA [23:51] can any one giv me the link for the install guide for ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run [23:51] please? [23:51] gordonjcp, WEP does work. [23:51] zanberdo: yes... and I was unable to. hence the reason why I came here for help. smartass. [23:51] Ranges: V min: 50 V max: 160 Hz, H min: 30 H max: 71 kHz, PixClock max 120 MHz Dillizar from the log file. Same as the monitor. ThInKiNg [23:51] Duncan_: ok, so you can connect up and use wifi with WEP? [23:51] ginajohn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [23:51] Duncan_: that narrows it down to your WPA config [23:51] gordonjcp, Yes [23:52] hi, i ran a configuration for a program but it told me : checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! [23:52] thank u :) [23:52] afallenhope: well, your question didn't suggest that you'd tried and had a problem, nor did it describe with any detail what the problem was, so I just wanted to be sure you'd actually tried. [23:52] Hermanon: install libx11-dev [23:52] Hermanon: what are you compiling? [23:52] <[[thufir]]> how do I determine which applications are using the network? The system monitor shows heavy network usage and I would like to know more. [23:52] nickrud: so there is not a problem ? [23:52] gordonjcp, I am going to try WPA2 now [23:52] zanberdo: clearly if 'm asking ... it's because I've tried. [23:52] hi there i have my laptop connected to the internet on my wlan and have my main pc connected to my laptop...... how can i get it so it will share the internet connection from my laptop to my main pc? [23:52] Dillizar you should be able to go to 1280x1024 by the log ... [23:52] nickrud: then why when i am at the monitor resolution settings its showing that i have a 15" Philips [23:53] afallenhope: you haven't been in this channel long if you are going to make that assumption. [23:53] afallenhope: you still haven't really described the problem [23:53] Dillizar a bug in some database. It's still got the right info from the monitor [23:53] jrib : kaptain [23:53] afallenhope: the answer to your original question is "yes, of course" [23:53] nickrud: but on1280 i have only 60hz [23:53] gordonjcp: i want to change the mount point of the /FTP to /var/ftp [23:53] guys, how do i install ipsec for ubuntu? [23:53] Dillizar gemme a sec! [23:53] Hi! I'm compiling here Lingvo dictionaries for Stardict with a patched dslcomp - and I get an error message when I try to compile all the "general" dictionaries (the abbreviation dicts are compiling very well)- Did anyone get such an error??? Thanks! [23:54] sorry its the wrong link [23:54] and what bout my brain nickrud:D [23:54] sudo apt-get install ipsec [23:54] i think [23:54] !info kaptain | Hermanon [23:54] hermanon: kaptain (source: kaptain): Graphical front-end for command line programs.

[23:54] gordonjcp: /FTP is mounted to /dev/sdb1 and I want to sylink the /FTP folder to /var/ftp [23:54] Hermanon: kaptain is in the repositories, you shouldn't be compiling it [23:54] brimestone, you migt have to bg ipsec [23:55] brimestone, you migt have to bd ipsec [23:55] yeah, but after that... i try to use an ipsec protocol and i get this "error: Unable to find "ipsec (FreeS/WAN)" at "/usr/sbin/ipsec"!" [23:55] oh wait [23:55] Starnestommy: "Language 'English' is not supported" - that's the error [23:55] gordonjcp, Once i switched the encryption to WPA2 i can no longer see the network with "iwlist scan" [23:55] sudo apt-get build-dep [23:55] i had it given to me a while ago but i had to reboot [23:55] Duncan_: maybe your card doesn't support it [23:55] jrib : thank u [23:55] Dillizar according to the specs of that monitor, on the web page I gave you the max at 1280x1024 is 60hz. Check the web page, make sure it's the same monitor === macgyverdgi is now known as macgyver [23:56] afallenhope: why not just change where /dev/sdb1 is mounted? [23:56] gordonjcp, The card is new, I can't imagine that it wouldn't support WPA2 === macgyver is now known as mac-laptop [23:56] Duncan_: hm, dunno [23:56] its the same nickrud but when is on higher Hz mt flash isnt working Ex youtube [23:57] Duncan_: I've never had a lot of luck with WPA, except when it comes to brute-forcing keys ;-) [23:57] Dillizar when you say higher hz, what hz? [23:57] gordonjcp, lol :P === CuriousCat_ is now known as CuriousCat [23:57] Duncan_ just because a card is new does not mean the linux version of the drivers will support that [23:57] why is ipsec not on my sbin [23:57] btw nickrud ive tryed now 1280 and i cant the pic is not on the whole display [23:57] Is there a WIFI tool in ubuntu to see what networks are accessible and whether one is connected or not? [23:58] gordonjcp: because I want it to /FTP. lol [23:58] Dillizar try using the resize buttons on the monitor [23:58] Can someone please help? My upper and lower panel is gone and I cannot open any programs or anything! [23:58] 75.80 nickrud [23:58] !resetpanels [23:58] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:58] Jack_Sparrow, I am using madwifi drivers, WPA is supported by it. [23:58] hey guys, are you going to solve the firefox+google toolbar issue ? [23:58] nickrud: its not liek that the other parts are like jam picture [23:58] Is there a bash command that displays the version of linux that is currently running? [23:58] nickrud: just mixer of colors [23:58] Dombre: uname -r [23:59] What is the command to open the default terminal? [23:59] Dillizar then you are overdriving the monitor. the monitor is the prblem there [23:59] r-phael: gnome-terminal === lzy--_ is now known as lzy [23:59] Starnestommy: Thanks [23:59] gordonjcp: it's easier this way. if I mount /dev/sdb1 to /FTP and create a symlink/hardlink from /FTP to /var/www. Would i have to chown the /var/ftp? [23:59] Dombre or lsb_release -a for ubuntu version info [23:59] hey guys, are you going to solve the firefox+google toolbar issue ?
