[00:00] Can I delete all the other files associated with the older kernels? [00:00] but i just cant add windows to it [00:00] Josdell: Ubuntu keeps them around in case a newer one gives you trouble. Use the package manager to remove old ones -- hold on a sec [00:00] i wonder how [00:00] hi [00:00] My key isn't in the id_rsa format [00:00] does that matter [00:00] soundray: thanks [00:00] Xavura: connection refused implies the ssh service isn't running or you're firewalled [00:00] ubina: you can install, then update -- or use a daily image from the link I gave you [00:00] is there a command to have a program run at system boot? if memory serves it was rc-update on gentoo. [00:00] hello, i would like to know if it's possible to load/install the ubuntu-studio kernel on an ubuntu 8.04 normal install [00:01] soundray thank you :) [00:01] mgrant: I can SSH into other servers, kind of, well on my other host I didn't have to set up all this key crap, it just worked ssh user@root [00:01] Josdell: example: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic' [00:01] Xavura, connection refused could mean that the remote machine isn't accepting ssh connections -- by way of a firewall or the simple fact that a sshd server isn;t up and running [00:01] soundray: okay thanks a lot [00:01] mgrant: and I doubt the service is not running, the host is great and everything always works [00:01] unop: It is, cPanel says so. [00:01] nathan406: are you editing it as root? [00:01] Xavura, have you considered the possibility that cpanel is not very reliable? [00:01] It has a built-in way to generate keys for SSH in cPanel [00:01] yes [00:01] chubs_: it can't get the audio device [00:02] Why would they have that if there was no SSHd [00:02] sudo tasksel install lamp-server best method install lamp ? [00:02] Have a guy with yahoo video problems, instead of playing movie gets code beginning with "CNTRLS = undefined, ID = undefined", any idea what's causing this? [00:02] Xavura, do you have shell access to the remote machine? [00:02] unop: shared hosting [00:02] so err [00:02] visik7: there might be a problem with colliding sound servers, are you using ubuntu 8.04? [00:02] and isn't shell the same as SSH? [00:02] duane: it's as good as any other package-based method [00:02] I'm new to all this [00:02] !lamp > duane [00:02] duane, please see my private message [00:02] chubs_: yes [00:02] Xavura: having shell access to the server and to your cpanel are two different things [00:02] I have absolutely no idea. [00:02] I just want to get SSH working [00:03] been as though no-one can help me get FTP working [00:03] chubs_: but it can get it to work [00:03] thanks [00:03] nathan406: why can't you add windows? it's a text file [00:03] Xavura, you could have shell access via a terminal server -- meaning you ssh into the terminal server and that patches you upto your machine via a serial console/cable [00:03] Xavura: if ftp isn't working you should contact your hosting provider.. [00:03] v3trae: Ubuntu, not my host [00:03] hallo! i have a small question: how can i see the details of an system upgrade, _afer_ syypatics made the changes? [00:03] Xavura: are you sure you are sure you are trying to log into the right server? [00:03] chubs_: i cant save [00:03] v3trae: Ubuntu seems to create tens and tens of connections at once, and gets me disconnected after a while [00:03] I then have to manually kill all the connections from cPanel before it works for another 10 minutes [00:03] any ideas for theubuntu-studio kernel on a normal ubuntu installation? thanks [00:04] nathan406: are you sure you're root if you can't save it? what sort of error comes up? [00:04] does anyone know how to make the internet faster? [00:04] No one can help me fix it, thus I need to get SSH working [00:04] Xavura, what happens when you do something like this? telnet hostname 22 [00:04] err [00:04] in a command line [00:04] netbeans runs strange on Hardy. It sees the classes, but claims them non-existent during comile. With both openjdk and sun. [00:04] Connection refused. [00:04] clash: have a look inside /var/log/dist-upgrade [00:04] hawthoerne: the whole internet? [00:04] Is it normal for my sound to be kind of tinny when I use Totem and FLAC files? [00:04] Xavura, sshd is not running on the remote machine [00:04] ter-> are you sure the classpath is correct? [00:05] Honestly? [00:05] Xavura: i agree with unop [00:05] Xavura, honestly [00:05] soundray: thank you - thats what i need [00:05] well it could be running on a different port :) [00:05] no just my connection isn't dling as fast as it should [00:05] Xavura: you should get some sort of output on 22. [00:05] Well what about this totally stupid FTP problem, with it cloning my connections and getting me disconnected? [00:05] Xavura: should it be running [00:05] Xavura, if sshd was running, telnet would have connected you up (somewhat) [00:05] Ok, I'll contact my host [00:05] Xavura: don't use ftp [00:05] The FTP thing is a Ubuntu problem though [00:05] Err, why? [00:05] I kind of need to do work [00:05] Xavura: the FTP thing is an FTP problem [00:05] which kind of requires me to access my files [00:05] FTP is dead [00:05] let it be [00:06] so what, it lets me download and edit my files [00:06] is there a command to have a program run at system boot? if memory serves it was rc-update on gentoo. Can't seem to find out how to do it in ubuntu. [00:06] How can I stop ubuntu ns-applet from asking for the wep key and password every time I long on [00:06] which I kind of NEED to do [00:06] xavura: if you need to do work, just use gftp [00:06] Xavura: use sftp [00:06] v3trae, /etc/rc.local [00:06] Yeah, I can use that for work [00:06] unop: thank you [00:06] but I am still trying to get this thing fixed [00:06] Xavura: you only need your ssh port open for that [00:06] v3trae: add to /etc/rc.local [00:06] as I prefer the other client so much [00:06] chubs_: i cant save [00:06] v3trae, that is a shell script - not a command [00:06] v3trae: update-rc.d -- or use System-Admin-Services [00:06] the one that is used when you do Places > Connect to Server > FTP [00:06] ftp is best packet manager. ftw! <3 :D more beer! :P [00:06] nathan406: but what does it say when you can't save? [00:06] soundray: oh! nothing in /var/log/dist-upgrade [00:06] amenada: I assume classpath is set up correctly to match platform. Both Hardy 6.0.1 and Sun 6.1. [00:06] package* [00:06] ftw [00:07] beer! [00:07] chubs_: i am not root [00:07] sudo!? [00:07] Xavura: that can handle sftp as well [00:07] I tried the instructions at this address http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=f5de5634f4448d733a599c23e4bb0257&p=2776815&postcount=1 [00:07] But is still ask for it [00:07] nathan406: well if it says you're not root, you're probably not root [00:07] Khisanth: I know, it doesn't work though so what does it matter. [00:07] chubs_: how do i open it up from the terminal [00:07] I don't know how such a simple client can have such a major flaw. [00:07] now network manager ask for the wep key [00:07] clash: I think you need sudo to read the files. [00:08] nathan406: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:08] Xavura: I have that connected to 4 remote host right now :) [00:08] Xavura, what flaw are you talking about? [00:08] chubs_: i did that once and i was able to save [00:08] chubs_: something like tracktor studio or virtualdj ? [00:08] then another dialog come comes up asking for the keyring password [00:08] Does no-one listen? I've gone over this problem 100 times in the last week [00:08] It clones my connections [00:08] I get disconnected after about 10-30 minutes [00:08] visik7: i don't have any experience with those, sorry. could be worth a try though [00:08] clash: there are also apt and installer directories under /var/log -- I'm not sure what the method is behind these [00:08] I have to go into cPanel and manually kill all 20-40 connections before it works again [00:08] Well I guess my box is upgraded now. I guess it's time to see if xmplay can run with wine now [00:08] It's very frustrating. [00:09] Xavura: are you particularly keen to get r00ted? [00:09] What's that? [00:09] Xavura: you manage to ask your questions here in a way that annoys, rather than attracting help [00:09] cpanel and ftp are truly horrific hello.jpg-scale security holes [00:09] xavura: try #linuxhelp [00:09] Err, well I didn't mean to. It's kind of hard to know what someone truly means via text-based communication [00:10] But if I'm so annoying, I'll stop asking questions. [00:10] Or you could just /ignore me, it's there for a reason. [00:10] Xavura: yes, it is. Still, I find that other people find ways to ask their questions more effectively. [00:10] The xterm display : Please re-run this program as the super user. << What to do ? [00:11] soundray: Maybe I am not so good with words. === Xavura is now known as X|Away [00:11] chubs_: the gedit is giving problems [00:11] GEdit is awesome, that had to be said [00:11] j_, is this as a result of a command you just ran? [00:11] Ok! [00:12] Xubuntu is making my sound seem kind of tinny [00:12] what router is better? DLINK or LINKSYS? [00:12] Is this a common problem? [00:12] Holy cow wine worked with xmplay. I guess next up I'll see if 8.04 works with my video card any better but it's a sealed deal right there. :) [00:12] RxDx: this is not a good place to ask that [00:12] I just installed Xubuntu this morning [00:12] soundray: ok - i found it in /var/log/apt/term.log [00:12] RxDx, not an ubuntu question :) [00:12] nathan406: what sort of problems? [00:12] X|Away: seriously, be really careful running ftp, and really careful running cpanel [00:12] sorry [00:12] RxDx: ASUS :) [00:13] X|Away: they have been the primary cause of big problems that I've had to clear up in the past [00:13] RxDx: try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware [00:13] chubs_:cannot open display: [00:13] Run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options. [00:13] can someone help me, my connection isn't as fast as it should be [00:13] Nathan406, are you trying to run gedit as root (via sudo) ? [00:14] yes he is [00:14] RxDx: fwiw, I agree with Khisanth [00:14] chubs_: yes [00:14] hawthoerne: how are you determining that? [00:14] chubs_: good guest [00:14] Nathan406, you need to launch gedit with gksudo [00:14] I'm sorry, coming from Gentoo alot of this is foreign to me, if i wanted to have ssh start at system boot i'd just throw /etc/init.d/sshd start into /etc/rc.local ? [00:14] Nathan406, gksu gedit /path/to/filename [00:14] i use lunar as well and the dl rate is faster than it is on ubuntu Khisanth [00:15] v3trae: no [00:15] telecoms.bg [00:15] v3trae, no, given that /etc/init.d/sshd exist -- all you need to do is use update-rc.d to enable sshd [00:15] v3trae: no === X|Away is now known as Xavura [00:15] v3trae: if you installed openssh-server through package management, it's enabled automatically at boot [00:15] v3trae, if you install openssh-server , it will automatically be linked properly into /etc/rc2.d/ and start up [00:16] v3trae: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [00:16] Mkay, it's been a while i dont remember how i installed it, but we'll find out when i reboot it in a fe wminutes ;) [00:16] gordonjcp: Well my host has cPanel and I can't get SSH working even after following tutorials as no-one will help me out with it, so what else can I do? [00:16] Run over to my server with a flash drive? [00:16] hawthoerne: no idea what lunar is but are you donwloading from the same server in both cases? [00:16] It'd be ok if it wasn't in Florida! [00:16] v3trae, sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart or start [00:16] Xavura: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [00:16] chubs_: i logout as root [00:17] Khisanth: lunar is another linux distro, but, yes i am [00:17] that is not going to install sshd on his server :) [00:17] what causes no sound when playing a video on YouTube in Firefox? [00:17] nickrud: just type that now? [00:17] unop i try ./vmware-install.pl [00:17] v3trae, yes [00:17] unop and it display that [00:17] or her [00:17] chubs_: and run sudo [00:17] j_, sudo perl ./vmware-install.pl [00:17] chubs_: its opened [00:17] Flannel, hey man, you still here? [00:17] Alps: Err, it's installed by default. [00:17] nathann406: you don't need to logout with sudo, but i'm glad it's opened [00:17] Alps: "I can't get it working" tends to ensue that it is installed, but isn't working... [00:17] Xavura: no, it isn't [00:18] So how come ssh root@someip works [00:18] Rebooting the machine, keep your fingers crossed ;) Thanks for the informatino gus [00:18] Xavura, no, the server isn't installed by default. The client is [00:18] Xavura, maybe cpanel has a way to restart the sshd daemon on the machine -- if not, your only hope is to contact the administrator of the machine [00:18] no sound from YouTube, Anyone? [00:18] Ah, you're talking about the remote machine? Well that makes sense now... [00:18] nickrud, he's working on a shared-host/server [00:18] Xavura: contact host [00:18] jeeves__: stop your music [00:18] sound server problems, bleh [00:18] unop, caught that in your last. Why I use dreamhost ;) [00:19] chubs_, there isn't anything running [00:19] Jeeves: Turn your speakers on, that worked for me (honestly I spent 2 days working out why sound wouldn't work in Ubuntu) [00:19] okay, so I've got a live ubuntu iso running in virtualbox, if I how can I delete the windows parition while I'm on it? [00:19] Xavura: bug your hosting company? [00:19] Xavura: see, this is what I meant above. The way you lecture people who are only trying to help (your response to Alps) [00:19] Well I don't mean anything by it. [00:19] dookles, no, because vmware is reliant on the windows install [00:19] dookles, are you booted into windows ? === kbrosnan_ is now known as kbrosnan [00:19] Xavura: hassle them until they provide a reasonable service, perhaps? [00:19] I am [00:19] I'm just saying, it's logical. It's like saying I can't work out how to eat my soup. [00:19] dookles, then boot the cd hardwarely [00:19] Then someone saying buy some soup [00:20] If I can't work out how to eat it, I must have some. [00:20] Logic my friend, I'm going to bug my host. [00:20] Xavura: your food is problematic? [00:20] gordonjcp: !!! [00:20] do what? [00:20] Xavura: or you could setup a Ubuntu LAMP server [00:20] Xavura, pick up the phone, call your provider, and tell them about this problem -- best solution [00:20] i was able to save [00:20] Alps: My ISP wouldn't be too happy about that. [00:20] ...and my internet connection can't handle it. [00:20] hawthoerne SInce lunar is rpm based it could be that your network card has supported drivers from them and you are using generic with this debian distro [00:20] Alps, he doesn;t have control over this machine [00:20] just hope wat i typed is correct [00:20] Xavura: tough, if they're not doing the job for you, do it yourself. They lose, you win. === ataraxia__ is now known as ataraxia_ [00:21] dookles, if you expect to install ubuntu, you'll either need to install on the hard drive, or install in wubi (a file in the windows drive) [00:21] gordonjcp: What are you referring to exactly? [00:21] maybe i'll do the install on lunar [00:21] Xavura: the hosting company - if they can't provide a working service, go for a vps and run it yourself [00:21] Xavura: again, your wording is alienating [00:21] gordonjcp: Expensive. [00:21] hello one question : is there any software way to change the FSB of my CPU ? [00:21] [Q] How can i stop what ever is bindingto port 443 so i can assign it to a different prog? [00:21] Xavura: how much are you paying at the moment? [00:22] soundray: Wording of any paragraph in particular? [00:22] via terminal, how can i determine my monitors horizontal/vertical refresh rate [00:22] solexious, that's apache -- configure /etc/apache2/ports.conf perhaps [00:22] Claw6_ that is handled in your bios... [00:22] gordonjcp: I have a VPS but I use it for my IRCd and it has no RAM hardly [00:22] unop, thank you [00:22] and if not? [00:22] Xavura: 'cos VPSes start at about a fiver a month [00:22] Hi? [00:22] nano_: xrandr [00:22] gordonjcp: So I can't use it for the website [00:22] Xavura: the whole response that was seemingly (though not explicitly) directed at me. [00:22] Jack_Sparrow: and if not? [00:22] Xavura: depends on how heavyweight your website is [00:22] gordonjcp: inspIRCd plus atheme services and MozBot running on 128 MB [00:22] let's move this VPS talk to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:22] !ot [00:22] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:22] Claw6_ I dont know of any tools to change fsb in linux [00:22] gordonjcp: Heavy enough. [00:23] kk [00:23] help! does anybody know how to change the GTK theme from text mode? [00:23] Xavura: my vps has 256M RAM available, and runs just fine [00:23] gordonjcp, let's stay on topic here [00:23] thx anyway [00:23] Xavura: except, of course, when spamassassin runs amok and beasts all the memory [00:23] gordonjcp: Well I doubt it'll handle it, MozBot eats RAM, so does an IRCd and services [00:23] ... anyway, they said it's off topic so, I'll shut up [00:23] Xavura: oh, irc*d* [00:23] Yes, daemon [00:23] unop,dont have it...

[00:25] solexious, errm, maybe it isn't apache listening on that port then -- use netstat to find out what process has that port open. netstat -antp | grep 443 [00:25] noccy: what issues? [00:25] I've read a bit about how gparted (previously?) managed to wreck NTFS partitions and such? [00:25] Such as the problems listed here -> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/48229 [00:25] Launchpad bug 48229 in gparted "Partition table destroyed when resizing NTFS" [Critical,Confirmed] [00:26] unop, all i get is tcp6 0 0 192.168.0.100:8656 85.166.119.203:49443 TIME_WAIT [00:26] anybody know what file determines which GTK theme is to be used for the current user? [00:26] I want to know if it's safe to have it resize my NTFS partition in order to install Ubuntu, or if i should expect it to trash it? [00:26] solexious, it doesn't appear anything is bound to port 443 [00:26] is SAMBA or ftp the best way to set up a home network between Hardy and XP? [00:26] noccy, I always suggest that vista users do the resize using the vista tool in disk management [00:27] legend2440, both work [00:27] unop, how odd, thank you [00:27] noccy: Procede with caution: resizing NTFS partitions CAN be dangerous. Always have backups [00:27] legend2440: Samba [00:27] noccy: It *might* be safe using, say Partition Magic [00:27] nickrud: I'm using XP SP1, not Vista :) [00:27] But not with Parted [00:27] noccy: I wasn't aware of this bug, but I've witnessed hundreds of successful resize based installs. Do have a backup though [00:27] or Gparted or whatever it is [00:27] does anyone know where kde's system:/media is in the root filesystem? [00:27] Red_Wraith, /media ?? [00:27] noccy, well, I trashed my disk with gparted, resizing an ntfs. Only owned the machine a couple hours, no loss [00:27] noccy: in my experience, gparted is safer than Partition Magic ( supertanker) [00:27] soundray: Apparently it had to do with parted relocating the start of the NTFS partition in some weirdo way or so [00:27] Alps: unop: ok thanks [00:28] i used a gparted live-cd to resize my ntfs [00:28] took ages though [00:28] soundray: Huh [00:28] supertanker: Hm, okay. Yeah that was my first thought. But i googled it and people seem pretty cheerful about gparted, except for the ones that end up with totally mashed drives lol [00:28] I lost my NTFS when I did that [00:28] i resized a 47GB windows drive down to 20-something on a 750GB drive... [00:28] I got a semi-totally mashed drive [00:28] took around 30 hrs [00:28] Yeah, a friend did it with PQMagic a few days ago. Didn't end well [00:29] for those 30 hrs my comp had to stay rock stable [00:29] why no reinstall windows in 30 mins? [00:29] if you clock your cpu consider running it @ spec when resizing [00:29] I have an vmlinuz.old and initrd.img.old can I delete those [00:29] Mine is never off. Last reboot was due to a power outage :> [00:30] !enter [00:30] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:30] Okay, so the summary would be that gparted might work excellent, but take a while -- or that it simply ends up trashing the drive? And that PQMagic is probably to be prefered? [00:31] noccy: I don't know where you have 'take a while' from. I find it astoundingly fast, considering what it does [00:31] Josdell : no , you want to leave those for possible recovery (I speak from experience) [00:31] soundray: darth mentioned it took 30 hours for him [00:31] I have never had problem either with gparted or partition magic that wouldn't to be blamed on the physical health of the drive... [00:31] s/problem/problems [00:31] m-c okay I'll take your word on it [00:32] The drive should be in good shape. I just don't trust NTFS the way I used to :) [00:32] pq no contestabas? [00:32] Is NTFS like, some kind of special format Windows uses for HDDs? [00:32] anyone know why js.worthathousandwords.com comes up reading mail with firefox [00:33] noccy use a gparted live-cd [00:33] Xavura: yes, it's a filesystem [00:33] im having a recursive message on boot "Unexpected IRQ trap at vector 92" any ideas? [00:33] NTFS the filesystem used by XP and 2000, as opposed to FAT32 used by Win98 and the likes [00:33] Xavura: It is just a way to "format" the disk for data, like FAT from the old dos and win95 operating systems [00:33] help! is anybody there? [00:33] Xavura: Ubuntu defaults to EXT3, but it also supports many other "formats" [00:33] kdje: no, no one. [00:34] does remastersys dist cdfs copy everything except my /home/joseph folder?

Should I recheck them and start over? [01:34] burner_, k one sec [01:34] sivel, what's chkconfig do? [01:34] takamarou: yes [01:34] burner_, they are all enabled [01:34] it enables services in /etc/init.d to start on boot [01:34] CZ-18 no problem :) [01:34] so, I have a problem. after a recent upgrade, it seems my keyboard is messed up. I began messing around with the keyboard layout dialog, and I have succeeded in locking myslef out [01:34] where in ~/ are the keyboard settings? [01:35] Bidget, in that case, you should have it in your repos... it's part of universe... if you can't get it via apt, you can download the .deb via http://packages.ubuntu.com [01:35] I am ssh'd, so I was thinking of removing them [01:35] burner_: for example "chkconfig apache2 on" would configure apache2 to start on boot [01:35] burner_, well I downloaded a file from the zsnes website but it is a bz2 file any idea how to install it that way? [01:35] burner_, it is .tar.bz2 if that helps any [01:35] tech0007, rebooting, be back in a min. [01:35] burner_, or would it just be better to get it from the package ubuntu website [01:36] Bidget, you have to compile that, its definitely doable, but prolly easier to just get it as a .deb [01:36] gwern: Maybe ask in #gnome [01:36] alright [01:36] CZ-18, alright cool, that sounds easier hahahaha [01:36] Bidget, you don't have to compile... CZ-18 is a fudspreader ;) though i agree that apt would be better [01:37] idk what specific package he was talking about, the vast majority of things in archives I've run into is source needing to be compiled [01:37] Why not use the version in the synaptic repository? [01:37] CZ-18, http://packages.ubuntu.com is just a web frontend to apt [01:37] HELP [01:38] CZ-18, deb packages are there [01:38] ok im kind of losing big hardware here... does anyone know something about my problem?!?! T_T [01:38] You download bits from here and there and you will much up your system. [01:38] burner, i know, he said he had a .tar.bz2, he asked how he'd install it [01:38] will ubuntu work on a laptop with pentium 3 700mhz and 256mb ram? [01:38] CZ-18, oh, i missed that ;) [01:38] hi, getting really strange behaviour using the internet, it works fine sometimes, then other times it half works, I can browse web pages but cant login to hotmail. I get a connection interrupted error after about 3min, anyone got any ideas, I think my isp might be trying to manage my connection by blocking binary uploads [01:38] burner, np =) [01:38] yesitisjustme: yes [01:38] yesitisjustme, kind of... though xubuntu would probably be better suited [01:39] is it possible to even avoid loading of menu.lst altogether, and instead have direct loading of a specific selection [01:39] burner_: looks like update-rc.d is fairly equivalent to chkconfig [01:39] SALUT [01:39] cibariox: you are getting a hardware error? is this a hardware problem, maybe? [01:39] I wish I could do a copy and past between my window ultra vnc viewer and vino running on xubuntu [01:39] recon61: wireless or ethernet? [01:39] recon61: your wireless might just be dropping out [01:39] wireless [01:39] yesitisjustme: Just remove update-manager from startup [01:39] ok [01:39] burner_, alright well Im just gonna do a restart and see if that helps at all [01:39] bien ou quoi ? [01:39] indeed it is... IRQ is directly binded to hardware... [01:40] nano_: just set the timeout to 0 or something [01:40] CZ-18: surely I should be able to log into hotmail though [01:40] tech0007, still not working [01:40] stdin, what if i set the timer to -1? [01:40] yesitisjustme: and use the alternate install cd [01:40] recon61: thats true, if its specific site that has a problem, its most likely not the connection [01:40] cibariox: Alternatively, it is very possible that this version of Ubuntu will simply not work on your computer, due to reasons beyond anyone's control. [01:40] ok [01:40] takamarou: can u check this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Graphics_cards_and_displays [01:41] nano_: I'm not sure, it could mean infinity. (ie: displays the menu forever) [01:41] but only ubuntu gives the error report... windows just hangs on boot... i have been working on ubuntu since gutsy and it broke lastnight [01:41] Will there be an upgrade to Pidgin soon, it wont let me connect to my ICQ account, it says the version is too old, I am using Ubuntu 8.04? I apologize and will endure the flames just for an answer if this particular question has been asked before [01:41] My general recommendation, for everyone, is that if you enjoy using Ubuntu, then you should purchase your next computer from a retailer who can support the hardware - which runs the software and OS of your choice. [01:41] takamarou: have you checked your /var/log/Xorg.0.log yet for any relevant info ? [01:41] glitsj16, no. [01:41]  CZ-18: i'll go get the router and try with a wired connecton before i go give my ips an ear full [01:41] hi [01:42] takamarou: paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:42] marc_ The protocols have been changed for ICQ that is shutting out 3rd party clients. Use more open protocols, like Jabber [01:42] recon61: thats smart, its always good to try eliminating possible variables to narrow down the problem [01:42] !hi |kromonos [01:42] kromonos: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:43] tech0007, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24579/ [01:43] m-c, so ICQ is not going to work anymore? [01:43] !icqfix | marc_ [01:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about icqfix [01:43] how to switch buttonmapping in mouse section in xorg [01:43] marc_: Not unless there is some resolution -- one second and I will find you the link [01:43] burner_, its still telling me that zsnes is unavailable but is referred to by another package, it means that the package is either missing, obsolete, or only available from another source. Package zsnes has no installation candidate :( [01:43] WebcamWonder, thanks [01:43] where can I get libshout2 incl. python bindings for hardy? [01:44] !icqbug [01:44] A fix for ICQ within Pidgin is currently underway. Within a few days we should see it moved into the -updates repository. === julio_neto is now known as Rog [01:44] !icqfix | marc_ === Rog is now known as Rogerio [01:44] marc_, please see my private message [01:44] !icqbug | marc_ [01:44] marc_ http://www.icq.com/forums/index.php?act=view_topic&group_id=400&topic_id=176034&forum_page=1 [01:44] marc_: please see above [01:44] Bidget, http://ubuntu.secs.oakland.edu/pool/universe/z/zsnes/zsnes_1.510-2ubuntu1_i386.deb [01:44] Hi, i have a question about Ubuntu. Im soon going to switch to it, but im wondering if it runs all of the programs windows does, such as video games and photoshop and such? Thank you [01:45] Superraiden, no it does not, but many windows programs can be run under wine (a windows emulator) [01:45] Superraiden, photoshop, yes... a lot of games, yes... you'll want to investigate a project called wine [01:45] !wine [01:45] 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. [01:45] Thanks to everyone on the ICQ fix [01:45] hi, i have a list of wireless networks in the networkmanager, how can i make some of them NOT connect automatically? [01:45] burner_, thanks :) do I just double click it? [01:45] adante, right click it, edit wireless networks [01:45] Bidget, probably [01:45] burner_, thanks :) [01:45] hi all i'm having some problem with an inalambric keyboard, specifically with key repeat, when i keep a key pressed [01:46] burner_, oh thats odd.... when I double click it it opens up and then says Status: ERROR: WRONG ARCHITECTURE 'i386' === Rogerio is now known as J_Neto [01:46] Bidget, aww, you're a 64-bit user... sorry... no zsnes for you.. you'll have to compile it [01:46] sometimes it doesn't repeat the key at all [01:47] tech0007, you still there? [01:47] marc_: I still think you should consider the jabber protocols [01:47] takamarou: did u change the second "Nvidia" in your xorg.conf? [01:47] Bidget: go 32bit! === Bidule is now known as Fils-de-pute [01:47] burner_, aw damnit hahaha. I never get to do things the easy way! [01:47] tech0007, yes. [01:47] danbhfive, but it just seems like such a waste of having a 64-bit cpu lol === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [01:47] Bidget, you'll have to compile it... try this forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588744&highlight=dfreer+zsnes [01:47] Bidget, or, as mentioned, install 32-bit ubuntu [01:47] m-c: I use them but not all my contancts, one in particular has the ability to do so === J_Neto is now known as Godofredo [01:47] Bidget: I don't know, but I personally dont care to deal with all these issues. [01:47] burner_: The 64-bit of Ubuntu 8.04 comes with the 32-bit compatibility libraries pre-configured [01:48] burner_, I'll try the compile option first haha [01:48] m-c:unless you can get jabber to relay to ICQ [01:48] danbhfive, yeah I'm not much for problems but I seem to have a lot of them :( === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [01:48] marc_ Maybe so. Good luck. [01:48] burner_ and Bidget : I'll try not to say 'i told you so' [01:48] m-c, thanks [01:48] !icqfix | atrus [01:48] atrus, please see my private message [01:48] Bidget: if you do compile, try using checkinstall, not 'make install' [01:48] CZ-18, it's ok I get it. the harder way is always the fastest it seems [01:49] CZ-18, well maybe compiling isnt harder I just dont have any experience with it [01:49] Bidget: checkinstall makes a .deb, so it integrates w/ dpkg and apt [01:49] Bidget: Its really not hard [01:49] how do I see what my local ip address in on the lan [01:49] takamarou: ok comment out everything related to ur integrated graphics [01:50] Bidget: just go to the directory with the source, and run './configure' 'make' 'sudo checkinstall' [01:50] Dante123: ifconfig [01:50] tech0007, in xorg.conf? [01:50] CZ-18, alright I'll let you know how it goes [01:50] CZ-18, thanks :D [01:50] Dante123: System -> Admin -> Network [01:50] takamarou: yes [01:50] Bidget: that last one is 'sudo checkinstall -D' actually [01:50] Bidget: only possible sticking point would be having dependencies installed [01:50] danbhfive: use the command line syntax sparingly ;-) [01:51] tech0007: takamarou: you did notice the log indicates a problem with your BusID section ? (sorry to drop in your thread here) [01:51] takamarou: then 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafebak' [01:51] * burner_ right clicks on network manager and "connection information" to find ip addresses [01:51] m-c: : ) [01:51] CZ-18, alright well if I dont have dependencies Im pretty sure I can use synaptic to install them I've done that before I think [01:51] My digital camera does short MOV files as well. Is there any program that will help me do small edits and such for linux? [01:51] glitsj16: its ok, he has 2 graphics card, integrated and nvidia [01:51] tech0007, I haven't looked at the log at all. also, for commenting out the stuff for the integrated, that is just everything in Section "Device" correct? [01:52] whileimhere, not really.. cinelerra and pitivi somewhat. avidemux if you just want to change the format and cut things [01:52] Bidget: go for it. keep me updated =) [01:52] it shows 127.0.0.1 using GUI....command line ifconfig shows 192.168.x.x [01:52] tech0007: okay [01:52] What I need to do mostly is turn them 90 degrees [01:52] danbhfive m-c which is correct? [01:52] takamarou: i presume ur monitor is now plugged into the nvidia card,not the integrated [01:52] CZ-18, hm I ran ./configure and it seemed to do ok till the end where it said I need NASM, is that some type of protocol [01:52] correct [01:52] CZ-18: you got it,now working with a wired connection, guess that saved blaming my ips. but whats wrong with my wireless. [01:53] danbhfive m-c it shows 127.0.0.1 using GUI....command line ifconfig shows 192.168.x.x [01:53] tech007, yeah. I'm running in low graphics mode.. which is a pain in the butt [01:53] whileimhere: yes - there are several - cannot think of the name of my preferred one at the moment [01:53] tech0007, and I made the backup. [01:53] takamarou: yeah, X is picking its config from a failsafe [01:53] Dante123: There was probably more in the gui than that one number [01:53] whileimhere: mencoder with -vf rotate [01:53] tech0007, so I should get rid of that failsafe? [01:54] takamarou: try restarting X, no we just renamed it, 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' [01:54] I have a very ambitious question! [01:54] where can I get info on coding a driver [01:54] <__yy> Xpistos: that's very ambitious... [01:54] Bidget: 'sudo aptitude install nasm' [01:54] hi all i'm having some problem with an inalambric keyboard, specifically with key repeat, when i keep a key pressed [01:54] Xpistos: For what hardware? [01:54] sometimes it doesn't repeat the key at all [01:55] ZUNE [01:55] CZ-18, alright I installed nasm, but now it's saying that I need a newer version of SDL, but if I do a search for sdl in synaptic it shows up with like a looot of things, not sure wihch of them I would need to update [01:55] recon69: well, now to narrow it down from there. Thats' the hard part =\ [01:55] heh [01:55] I know [01:55] start small [01:55] I know, but this is out of necessity [01:55] Bidget: try libsdl1.2-all and libsdl1.2-dev? [01:55] how do i put different themes on so the windows are different colors [01:56] xpistos: where are you going to get the technical specifications? [01:56] how do I setup vino vnc so that it is on gdm greeter instead of just hte uesr logged in [01:56] whileimhere: have you tried 'LiVES" for those video edits yet ? works great .. http://getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=lives [01:56] I have studied, and I mean studied, mp3 I I can't find one that does what I want [01:56] CZ-18, k I'll look for em [01:56] I have no idea [01:56] me either [01:56] <__yy> Xpistos: I don't think you quite realize what you're asking.. [01:56] tech0007, no luck.. and is that command you gave me the same thing as cntrl+alt+backspace? [01:56] That is trye [01:56] True [01:56] but it has to be possible [01:56] CZ-18: think I got some computer dummy with a virus living near me, the wireless traffic light on my router has never stopped blinking in the last year. think it must be interference [01:57] Not easy, but possible [01:57] just buy a mp3 player that is more compatible for ubuntu - much easier [01:57] CZ-18, ok I selected libsdl-all but when I said mark for installation libsdl-alsa became highlighted in bright red, is that bad? [01:57] somebody has to know how to change themes... === lzy--_ is now known as lzy-- [01:57] I would love to, but i can find one that has more than 50 gb, video and decent size for under 300 [01:57] glitsj16: Great idea [01:57] Bidget: no, libsdl-all is a meta-package that just tells it to download /all/ the libsdl packages [01:57] takamarou: its better than ctrl-alt-backspace, download the driver from nvidia http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us [01:57] Bidget: hence the 'all' part =P [01:57] The login screen (GDM) displays in the wrong resolution for my screen. It actually only displays the top-left part of the login, so the textbox where I enter my username and password is off-screen. Any suggestions? [01:57] anybody use wpa_supplicant? how can i select the network? [01:57] hawthoerne: System -> Pref -> Appearence [01:57] tech0007, I've already got it. [01:57] ty [01:57] CZ-18, ok just making sure. usually green is good, red is bad haha [01:57] <[[thufir]]> I can't find the java JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver to install it [01:58] <__yy> Xpistos: possible, yes, but generally not if you need to ask "how do I write a driver?" [01:58] hawthoerne: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy for all your theming questions [01:58] thuf its built into java [01:58] recon69: that still doesn't explain why certain sites (ie, hotmail) wouldn't work when others do [01:58] ty [01:58] takamarou: ok, rename your xorg.conf to somethin else in /etc/X11 dir [01:58] I know I am trying trying to sky dive with a paper drink umbrella [01:58] CZ-18, alright now it's telling me that a curses library is required to use the debugger... [01:58] takamarou: we'll start w/ a fresh one [01:58] shira: your X configurations have the default set incorrectly, I bet. have you checked the settings in the System -> Admin -> Screen Resolutions ? [01:58] but what why not [01:59] tech0007, done. [01:59] <[[thufir]]> thanks [01:59] Xpistos: discussions should be held in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:59] <__yy> Xpistos: if you really want to try... device specifications for the hardware you're using would be a good place to start [01:59] CZ-18, I'm looking through the synaptic and I notice there is something called lib32ncurses5 but it's already installed, not sure if thats what I need though [01:59] <__yy> Xpistos: you could also grab the linux kernel source [01:59] takamarou: ctrl-alt-f1, then 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' [01:59] tech0007, have you had him look at blaclisted yet? (that was the problem with a friend last night) [01:59] m-c: just making sure, you mean System -> Prefs -> Screen Resolutions? Yes, it is correct there, though "Detect Displays" does not correctly detect my display. I have to manually set it. [02:00] <__yy> Xpistos: there are many drivers there you could look at [02:00] Bidget: do you have any idea what programming language its in? [02:00] CZ-18, hmmm [02:00] thanks [02:00] tech0007, ehh, what do I do then? I'm not gonna be able to see what you say. [02:00] <{KHI}DellGuy_> can someone please rell me what the delete file command is in terminal [02:00] Bidget: you need one of the packages called 'libcurses- [02:00] shira - what graphics card do you have? [02:00] <__yy> Xpistos: good luck... you'll need it [02:00] CZ-18, well when I run ./configure it's making sure that I have a C++ compiler so maybe C++? [02:00] Xpistos: download the kernel source for the kernel you are running, then have a look in /usr/src/your_kernel/drivers, read some code then decide if thats really what you want to do [02:00] Bidget: you could install all of them, and that'd prolly do it. overkill, but it'd do it [02:00] CZ-18, well it's not like they take up much disk space do they [02:00] Bidget: check if there is a directory called src in that folder [02:00] takamarou: ok, before u go to the console, cd to the dir where you put the nvidia driver [02:01] m-c: nvidia 7900gt [02:01] CZ-18, actually I'm in the src directory [02:01] Is there a channel for gnome support? [02:01] Bidget: what file extension do the source files have? [02:01] m-c: i have the proprietary drivers instaleld and enabled [02:01] takamarou: then type this 'sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg#.run' [02:01] tech0007, sudo sh NVID[tab]? [02:01] hey guys, i just installed ubuntu ALT on an old pc. what is the quickest way to install a LAMP stack? [02:01] shira - closed source graphics driver, so you will want to go with the vendor tools - did you install nvidia-settings package ? [02:01] tech0007, alright. I'll go do it. [02:01] shira - see all the fun takamarou is having? you'll get to join the fun [02:02] Let me also say, I don't want to do this, but I feel like I don't have a choice [02:02] CZ-18, how do I tell which ones the source files are? there are a whole bunch of files in here... some sh, some asm, some are .check, and there's .c .h and .in as well [02:02] When I go to install via a deb file the program LIVES it says that I have a dependency that is not satisfiable libcairo2. I check synaptic and its says that I have both libcairo2 and libcairo2-dev installed. Any ideas of what to do? [02:02] I am a total newb [02:02] whileimhere: there's also a ubuntu repo for LiVES at http://akiradproject.net/repository if you'd like to keep regular updating going [02:02] Xpistos: burn your zune [02:02] CZ-18, there's also .h and .guess [02:02] m-c: i love messing with annoying graphics card settings that I know nothing of [02:02] Bidget: lets play it save, install them all =) [02:02] m-c: and replace it with what [02:02] CZ-18, it almost looks like every file has a different extension... [02:02] m-c: OK I installed nvidia-settings, how do i run it? [02:02] CZ-18, lol ok [02:02] and iPod? [02:02] nah [02:03] shira - the nvidia-settings is run by Application -> System Tools - and it is pretty easy, once you get the settings right [02:03] m-c: nvm, I just ran "nvidia-settings" [02:03] Bidget, a source package is composed of all those files there - each doing a different task [02:03] CZ-18, oh yeah theyre only going to take up like 30mb thats not really a problem at all [02:03] shira, System --> Administration [02:03] whileimhere: try the http://akiradproject.net/repository route to avoid those dependency issues [02:03] unop, hmm I see, but how would I tell what programming language was used to make the application? [02:03] Anyone very familiar with troubleshooting Gnome? my "applications" menu randomly stopped working (won't drop down). "places" & "system" work fine [02:03] glitsj16: thanks will try that [02:04] CZ-18, I think its working [02:04] CZ-18, I've gotten through ./configure and now I'm on to make [02:04] gawd damn my Ubuntu setup is sexy... :D [02:04] CZ-18, lot of text is scrolling by but it looks like it's working so far [02:04] Bidget, .c files are usually written in C .h files are C header files that accompany .c files, .sh are usually shell scripts, .in are autoconf/automake files [02:05] Bidget: lots of text scrolling is good. When it stops, if the last few lines have anything that says "exit status " with anything other than a 0, thats bad [02:05] ubunubi: Strange - have you tried to move you .gnome into a different spot and log in again? [02:05] unop, ah ok. well I was thinking it was c++ so I guess I was only off by a little :D === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [02:05] m-c nope. didn't want to bugger anything [02:05] CZ-18, no collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [02:05] Bidget, most source is written in in C/C++ -- but they could be in other languages too, python, perl, lisp, ruby [02:05] sounds like it is good and buggered already [02:05] tech0007, alright, done. do you want me to paste my xorg.conf now? [02:05] exit status 1 is bad, 0 would be successful [02:05] anything that can be compiled really :P [02:05] in the worst case, you can always reinstall, after backing up /home [02:06] m-c haha, yeah but i meant like not being able to get to a graphical desktop :) which i can do fine now. just can't make applications drop down [02:06] night everyone, let your problems all be learning experiences. [02:06] takamarou: yes [02:06] Bidget: look through the text it outputted from the bottom up [02:06] any 1 know any good linux compilers.. [02:06] tech0007, wow.. wth.. xorg.conf is empty. [02:06] Bidget: look for something wrong (it would say 'error' or somethign [02:06] unop, yeah I just installed all of the curses libraries, ruby and perl were both included hehe [02:06] Mesiox: what language? look at gcc or g++ for C or C++ [02:07] takamarou, are you sure you're looking in the correct place? /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:07] c++ [02:07] Mesiox, Gnu g++ [02:07] tech0007, scratch that.. forgot a / [02:07] CZ-18, well at the very very bottom it said "make: *** [main] Error 1" [02:07] Mesiox: g++ is the best [02:07] ok thanks [02:07] tech0007, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24581/ [02:07] Bidget: ok, keep going. that means the overall process failed, we want to know where that happened [02:08] CZ-18, alright I'm looking through but I dont see anything yet [02:08] Bidget: there should prolly be something in there, usually these things are pretty verbose [02:08] CZ-18, oh its very verbose.... [02:09] takamarou: now run 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' [02:09] CZ-18, I see a spot that says warning cast from pointer to integer of different size but I dont think thats really an error... [02:09] tech0007, and restart X, correct? [02:09] Bidget, what is the name of this application you are building? [02:09] Bidget: it'd be near the bottom, because once it finds and error it should stop [02:09] takamarou: wait, are you on X right now? [02:09] tech0007, yes. [02:09] unop, zsnes, apparently it's supposed to be in the repository but not for amd64 so I'm trying to compile it but its not working [02:10] finally got ESD+dmix back on 8.04 man it feels good to have hassle-free sound again. :) [02:10] CZ-18, oh hey I found it duhhh its so obvious hahaha [02:10] tech0007, I think.. wouldn't I not be able to see anything if I wasn't on X? [02:10] takamarou: yeah right....'glxinfo | grep render' [02:10] Bidget: WHAAT!?! You didn't tell me you had an amd64. No wonder the i386 .deb didn't work... [02:10] CZ-18, i386 architecture of input file (there are like 30 lines of this all witha different file right here) is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output [02:10] http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/1714/screenshot1ds5.png [02:10] oops [02:10] *headdesk* [02:10] CZ-18, :'( [02:10] lmao [02:10] tech0007, Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[02:12] takamarou: the glx error means you dont have the restricted drivers installed for you video card [02:12] well I was going to but amd is just so much cheaper it's not worth the extra money for something that can calculate a million digits of pi 4 seconds faster [02:12] Okay here is a really tough one because it involves a KDE app but I had no luck in the Kubuntu room. I use DigiKam for my photos. I want to upload the images to googles images but there is no built in export for this. Am I just missing it or is there no way to upload images to Google images via Linux? [02:12] anyway back to the problem of compiling is there no way it will work for amd?

I can't get them installed [02:12] Bidget: I'm looking for a .deb for amd64, hang on [02:12] tech0007, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24582/ there's the paste of the grep render thingy. [02:12] CZ-18, thanks [02:13] CZ-18, found a forum thread that says how to install zsnes on amd64 yess [02:13] Bidget, maybe you ought to run this if you haven't already. sudo apt-get build-dep zsnes [02:14] unop, ok I did that command, installed just fine [02:14] Bidget: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588744 [02:14] CZ-18, I'm already at that thread :D [02:14] Bidget: ahh, thats prolly the one you found.

[02:15] reinstall gnome to fix an issue [02:15] Bidget: it most likely should [02:15] CZ-18, alright well lets hope some magic happens [02:15] Bidget: One way to find out =) [02:15] tech0007, do you want me to open that file? or does the locate output do it for you?

[02:17] ubunubi, well, the best way would be to reinstall all the gnome and gtk packages . something like this . sudo aptitude reinstall $(dpkg -l | grep -iE "gnome|gtk" | cut -d " " -f 3) [02:17] hello, what is the minimalist way to get kde working (least MB to dl)?

[02:33] nothing.. [02:33] jay, right, that's because your mac would have set your user up with UID=99 -- and so any files that user creates, have a owner of UID=99 -- which is why you need to adjust how this volume is mounted, so that the UID is mapped to your current user's UID (1000) [02:33] <__yy> scifiguy951: it depends a lot on what you plug it in to [02:34] cibariox: you can boot to ubuntu or r u trying to install it? [02:34] oooh [02:34] ok [02:34] phone wire has like less coper than a ethernet true? [02:34] is there some kind of realvnc package for ubuntu? [02:34] so, i unmount first? [02:34] how do i mount? [02:35] i see a tarball but not sure if that's the best approach [02:35] i already have hardy... it worked just fine until last night [02:35] <__yy> Mesiox: significantly less... [02:35] jay, yes unmount first -- look at the mount manpage on how to use the hfs options [02:35] its a pci card i have had and i put it in [02:35] and thats the weird thing... i didnt change anything [02:35] ok thanks i will look now [02:35] easier question since my first one went unanswered twice.... im runnung ubuntu off a slave, and my master isn't mounted automatically.. how do i have it mount the master automatically upon boot ? [02:35] <__yy> rand0m: you need to add an entry in your fstab [02:36] isn't ubuntu default load through grub? [02:36] or whatever the loader is [02:36] grub, yes [02:36] yeah [02:36] nothing came up when i started the pc [02:36] ? [02:37] is it detected? [02:37] so realistically if it's on the slave...which is how I have it set up it should go to nix automatically === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:37] tekryan, that's assuming a lot of things tho [02:38] is there any ubuntu special live cd that doesn't have a GUI ?

[03:41] i have a windows cursed laptop....6.06, 6.10, 8.04 won't even install [03:41] norv: Batch processing, I *Think* ffmpeg and some do provide it [03:41] used to have 6.06 though [03:42] norv: Look at mencoder, I have had ffmpeg produce non-standard files, and you might want to up the bitrate to get better quality out of your files [03:42] >>tech007: ok, sorry i got it done... [03:43] alphaman1101: the only way a windows VM could use it would be if the software directly forwards the usb calles [03:43] WebcamWonder: yeah I'll try that, but batch processing only works if I can return the name of something.mp3 without the mp3 extension [03:43] Bora: np, 'cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep i810' [03:43] jester45 sounds like you could prorubly build a program to do this? [03:43] WebcamWonder: does 'find' have something like that? [03:44] norv: Wait, let me digg up some articles [03:44] but i dont know if any will i know qemu vmware and vbox support usb passtough but idk if it would work [03:44] alphaman1101: yea... you could if MS gave you the source code... but then they wouldnt be MS they would be redhat [03:44] tech007: ok [03:44] hehe [03:44] Bora: so did u get any output? [03:44] hallo, good morning [03:45] hi, my ubuntu 8.04 is dropping keyboard repeat events, is there anything i can do? [03:45] tech007: no output [03:45] norv: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/batch-script-for-mencoder-391865/ [03:45] norv: You can use it for ffmpeg by tweaking it a little [03:45] WebcamWonder: thanks [03:46] hi which channel for ibex issues? [03:46] Bora: it still has vesa...'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' change vesa to i810, then save it [03:46] Can someone please tell me how to install apps with a .tar.bz2 extension ive been reading about it but i just cant figure it out [03:46] norv: Glad to help [03:46] !install [03:46] Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[03:59] hey i'm trying to use emerald and i've installed it and i've run emerald --replace [03:59] narothepharoh: picasa2 is a good one [03:59] but it isn't working [03:59] cuz when i close the window the theme goes away [03:59] nickrud: If so though, that is bizarre. If mplayer doesn't support ogg, i have no idea why it was touted as one of the best video players.. [03:59] how do i get it to stay [03:59] Leefmc the opposite, not input but output to screen [03:59] millertime_018, emerald --replace& [04:00] Leefmc: make sure ubuntu-restricted-extras is installed to get the best of mplayer...whats the format of that media [04:00] tech0007: couldnt find program picasa2 [04:00] nickrud: Ah ok, so which should i choose then? I have no idea which output to the screen is best for me to use [04:00] tech0007: format of what media, the ogg? Not sure, im new to the ogg container [04:01] bodsda: i've already run that i just said! [04:01] welkin, the file manager [04:01] hey can anyone help me a bit ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:01] try a few. But use xv first, it's generally the best. If you're running in compiz, you'll have to use x11 [04:01] i have a doubt i am on ubuntu 8.04 and when i connect my psp via usb it goes very fast then it goes pretty slow :( can any one help me fix this ? [04:02] millertime_018, nohup emerald --replace& [04:02] tech0007: couldnt find program picasa2 [04:02] millertime_018, it shouldnt die if you use '&' [04:02] FelixTheCat: a photo disc [04:02] hi, where can i find the mysql logs?

[04:03] tech0007: Any thoughts which vo i should use? I have no idea [04:04] josh13, install 'htop' for advanced process info [04:04] Leefmc: xv, x11, gl are good choices [04:04] what setting in gdm.conf controls if a list of users is put on the gdm gui?

[04:04] tech007: thank you so so so much.... problem solved after ages of search.... thank you a lot [04:05] happyhater>>>thanks.... i think i got some idea..... [04:05] Leefmc try mplayer -vo xv , if it fails, and you're using compiz, do mplayer -vo x11 [04:05] Bora: np [04:05] bodsda>>>>>thank u........... i googled it and i got some idea abt it... bye [04:05] did you find that 'bypass trash' setting in there welkin ? [04:05] Bodsda ok, any alternatives if i cannot install htop ? [04:05] welkin, ok, bye [04:05] happyhater>>>ya [04:05] nickrud: Oh sorry, scrolling up i see you said that. Not sure how i missed the end of that sentence. My apologies. [04:05] was it turned on? [04:06] narothepharoh: I have to second using picasa2. Otherwise you are simply creating a data cd filled with jpegs. [04:06] josh13, no, i dont think 'top' or system monitor can tell you, do sudo apt-get install htop [04:06] soreau? [04:06] FelixTheCat: Thanks im checking it out right now [04:06] happyhater>>>i dont know wright now.... this problem is in my friends pc.... so ill inform u as soon as i get tat information to him.... [04:06] How can I delete old ubuntu kernels? [04:07] Fjss: synaptic [04:07] narothepharoh: you can find quite a few web pages.

[04:07] !medibuntu [04:07] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:08] archive.ubuntu.com seem to be done ! is it ? [04:08] FelixTheCat: Thanks im installing the package now right on thanks for your help [04:08] tech0007: thanks i appreciate it [04:08] tech0007: what would they be listed under, packages? [04:08] narothepharoh: np [04:09] Fjss: use the search function [04:09] Fjss and search for linux-image . Be sure to keep the latest and one other (that had worked properly for you, Just In Case) [04:10] nickrud: Im confused, i've typed "mplayer -vo xv" "mplayer -vo x11" and "mplayer -vo gl" and nothing seems to take. Each time i do that, it shows the docs of mplayer, exactly the same if i typed "mplayer" by itself. I also try playing mplayer, and i get the same results.. [04:11] Leefmc you have to include a video file on the line ;) [04:11] robuntu: does the CD work in another computer or CD player? [04:11] Leefmc: paste the output when u try 'mplayer [nameofmedia]' [04:11] Leefmc like mplayer -vo x11 /path/to/video [04:11] Leefmc: you need to specify a media file to play [04:11] nickrud: Oh i thought i was telling mplayer which vo to use. Is there a way to set the option? Because i want to actually double click videos, or watch them in my browser, not use the command line for every piece of media [04:12] yes its Diablo 2 [04:12] Leefmc: "mplayer" is just a command line tool that happens to pop up a window to show the movie, there is no gui. It doesn't run by itself [04:12] Thanks for the medibuntu link. That's useful. [04:12] FelixTheCat: [04:12] Leefmc: use a version of mplayer with a gui then, like gmplayer or smplayer [04:12] guys is there any way to get back the deleted files??? [04:12] Leefmc if it's working properly, you would set the vo=x11 option in ~/.mplayer/gui.conf [04:12] Fryguy--: Well it launches when i double click a video, why can't that work? [04:12] welkin, only if there in a trash folder [04:12] Leefmc also set it in ~/.mplayer/config , for the command line === xyz is now known as jessica15 [04:12] Leefmc: it works fine, but you won't ge ta gui [04:13] welkin: not really [04:13] Fryguy--: Well perhaps im not sure which GUI you're referring to, but i get "a" gui, It has play, stop, etcetc [04:13] Fryguy--: A movie window, etc. [04:13] Leefmc: sounds like gmplayer [04:14] Fryguy--: Is that default with ubuntu? Because i dont believe i specifically installed gmplayer [04:14] Leefmc: no idea, i don't use ubuntu [04:14] Leefmc: The package named "mplayer" has a gui and the package named "mplayer-nogui" has none [04:14] k [04:14] robuntu: I didn't get any text. [04:14] Leefmc that's gmplayer. did you see the line I gave above about changing the vo_driver in ~/.mplayer/gui.conf (more accurate line ther) [04:14] WebcamWonder: Ah thank you! [04:14] Leefmc: gmplayer is part of mplayer [04:14] Fryguy-- xubuntu? [04:14] nickrud: freebsd [04:14] FelixTheCat:  yes its Diablo 2 [04:14] nickrud: Yea i'lllook into that now :) [04:14] nickrud: can I do a complete removal or should I just remove [04:14] Fryguy-- get thee behind me [04:14] tech0007: So gmplayer is default, gotcha [04:15] Fjss complete is best [04:15] nickrud: ? [04:15] FelixTheCat: i wanted to install it with wine [04:15] Leefmc: its crude but its ok [04:15] Fryguy-- a short version of 'get thee behind me, satan' [04:16] !list [04:16] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [04:17] robuntu: If I understand you correctly, you have a game CD that works in other computers. [04:17] exit [04:17] bodsda, Fryguy>>>>>>>>. can we use any pacakage for tat?? [04:17] tech0007, nickrud: Ok! It plays now without that error, but now i have a second error (i had hoped it was all the same problem). When it launches i get an error window that says "AO: [pulse] Failed to connect to the server: Connection refused" Thoughts? [04:17] quit [04:17] FelixTheCat: correct [04:17] welkin, what are you talking about? [04:17] robuntu: When you insert the disk, does an icon show up on your desktop? [04:17] welkin: if your file went to the trash (you deleted in nautilus or something) go back into the trash and get it. Otherwise it's gone [04:18] FelixTheCat: no, but my windows XP Black CD does so it is a working drive [04:18] nickrud: just to be on the safe side... 2.6.24-19.34 is the latest? [04:18] Leefmc I haven't messed much with pulseaudio myself. [04:18] nickrud: I have no idea what it even is [04:18] Leefmc: use '-ao alsa' switch [04:18] bodsda>>> i want to retrive a file which is deleted from the trash is it posisble?? [04:18] nickrud: I've never seen it before [04:18] Fjss yes [04:18] FelixTheCat: noting comes up, and when i try to open it in computer it says no media in the drive [04:18] tech0007: Roger [04:18] robuntu: Does manually mounting the CD from the command line work? [04:18] welkin, if youve deleted it from the trash you cant get it back [04:19] what are the commands i will try it [04:19] Leefmc that's the sound mixing system. It takes streams from multiple programs, and mixes them so they can play simultaneously [04:19] Fryguy>>> k.... thanks... but in windows we can get it back why cant we get it back here?? [04:19] Leefmc: from my past experiences with ubuntu (and mplayer in general), I'd recommend taking a moment to install smplayer and make that be your default media player. It wraps up an awful lot of the functionality you seem to be struggling with into a pretty nice gui (so nice, IMO, that i use smplayer as my media player on windows) [04:19] welkin: the mechanisgm for recovering a file on windows is pretty much exactly like I just described. What exactly is the difference? [04:19] vlc myself. but learning how mplayer works teaches a lot ;) [04:20] bodsda>>>in windows we can get the deleted files back so why cant we do it here?? [04:20] hey guys i just installed wine and i was wondering if cedega i think its called is a better bet than wine [04:20] welkin: we just explained it to you [04:20] Fryguy--: Will do then. Do i need to uninstall gmplayer or anything? And is it going to affect mozilla-mplayer? [04:20] JackOhara: for a price [04:20] Fryguy--: as a fan of mplayer, just looked at smplayer, it is nice! thanks :P! [04:20] nickrud: alsa gives a different error now. Codec not found. [04:20] hey guys, i cant boot windows, when i choose it from grub it says "Starting up" but just hangs, ive left it for an hour with no joy, heres my menu.lst entry -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/24609/ -- the root hd## is correct according to grubs device.map. what can i do! ;~) [04:20] I'm having trouble updating pidgin to 2.4.2 using a .deb file It's telling me that 'Dependency is not satisfiable: libcairo2' [04:20] google gears won't work on firefox 3 [04:20] any idea ? [04:20] yeh the price is no prob but does it run alot more programs? [04:20] nickrud: But strangely enough, both errors still play the sound. [04:20] Leefmc: you don't need to uninstall gmplayer, and I don't know it's direct effect with mozilla-mplayer (I don't use the browser plugin, i always just set up my browser to spawn an outside app, in this case smplayer) [04:21] Xacarith, so install libcairo2 [04:21] Fryguy>>>> k.... thanks dude........ [04:21] Fryguy>>>> k.... thanks dude........ [04:21] bodshda As far as I know, it is installed [04:21] has anyone gotten convertIT to work on hardy? [04:21] FelixTheCat: what are the commands i will try it [04:21] Xacarith, make sure [04:21] Xacarith: is it a .deb for ubuntu? === rand3sk is now known as rand0m === rand0m is now known as rand0m- [04:22] WebcamWonder: it became my favorite media player after only a few days of use. It works, it works WELL, and it plays pretty much any file I throw at it with no stuttering/anything (after playing around a bit with settings) [04:22] welkin: not sure if this answers your question: http://e2undel.sourceforge.net/usage.html [04:22] Bodsda The only thing not installed is one dev packet [04:23] Fryguy--: Anything that is a fork of mplayer deserves to trash other players :P... [04:23] Fryguy--: Will it fix this audio driver problem? Or do i still need to work this out [04:23] Fryguy It is suppose to be [04:23] Leefmc: it very well might [04:23] nickrud: thanks for the help [04:23] Xacarith, try to reinstall it, and maybe install the dev packet [04:23] robuntu: it's usually 'sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom' [04:23] Fryguy--: Oh and how do i change from gmplayer to smplayer? It seems gmplayer is still default [04:23] Leefmc: you might need another codec [04:23] bodsda I just did, same result [04:24] Leefmc: you need to install smplayer from the repo [04:24] Xacarith, delete the .deb and redownload [04:24] tech0007: I already did [04:24] Leefmc: eh, pretty shady on the details of that (I haven't used gnome as my desktop in a while). Probably something like right click on a media file, open with, and then make it use mplayer, and firefox configuration is in it's filetypes in it's options menu [04:24] Fryguy--: I dont get why its giving me this codec error though, it plays audio fine. alsa is my setting in all the audio settings for ubuntu [04:24] how to convert .txt to a voice synthesized .wav or similar? [04:24] i dont remember who was helping me earlier but it was the issue with having win xp on my master drive (w/ a fux'd mbr, unbootable) and a slave w/ ubuntu (which im on right now).. for some reason, grub only recognizes the slave drive, and doesnt show an option to boot into xp, but the bigger is that the drive doesn't automount [04:24] hey guys, i cant boot windows, when i choose it from grub it says "Starting up" but just hangs, ive left it for an hour with no joy, heres my menu.lst entry -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/24609/ -- the root hd## is correct according to grubs device.map. what can i do! ;~) [04:24] Sonja: check out festival [04:24] so it's not showing in my places === m_newton_ is now known as m_newton [04:24] Leefmc: right click on the media and pick open with [04:25] Bodsda This already is my second attempt. Only trying now due to ICQ just quit working telling me I need to update pidgin [04:25] Fryguy--: Well yea it uses mplayer, but mplayer is using gmplayer. [04:25] Leefmc: so change it to smplayer.. [04:25] tech0007: K heh [04:25] is there a vlc support chat group.room ? on this server ? [04:25] when I resize a partition with gparted, it doesn't destroy the data, right? [04:25] no palomides , provided u do not shrink it to a size smaller than current data used [04:25] folks [04:26] Bodsda, is windows installed on the second hard drive? [04:26] what is so special about a .deb [04:26] Palomides: depends on the specifics of what you are resizing, but in general not it won't. Always make a backup before messing with low level hard drive data though [04:26] tech0007, Fryguy--: My bad, i thought because gmplayer wrapped mplayer so tight that i never actually see the words "gmplayer" (its just called mplayer), i assumed smplayer did the same. [04:26] Marfi, first hard drive [04:26] remember you are talking to a very knowlegeble windows user. [04:26] ty all [04:26] Shaba1: it's a package for installing an application that has dependency management [04:26] * m_newton is away: loligaging at the wee hours of nite; just to say hi to all and host my server. [04:26] how can i upgrade my kernel? [04:26] Bodsda, if its installed on the first hard drive, then root would be (hd0,0) [04:26] Fryguy--: Heh, with smplayer i get no video [04:26] Shaba1, a .deb knows how to install itself and how to get the things it needs [04:26] wonder if any one has pidgin 2.4.2 running [04:27] Marfi, not according to my device.map [04:27] Uplink: to which version? [04:27] Bodsda, you just told me it was installed on the first hard drive [04:27] Leefmc: mplayer is just a backend for playing back video, gmplayer binds pretty closely to it because it's the default gtk gui for it, but it was written so that it can use any gui it wants (or no gui at all, in the case of people using it for things like transcoding videos from 1 format to another, or streaming, etc) [04:27] Leefmc: take a moment to look around the settings in the smplayer gui and play around a little bit. [04:27] FelixTheCat: it says mount: no medium found [04:28] Bodsda Fryguy Thanks for trying though [04:28] tech0007, i have 2.6.24-16-generic [04:28] Xacarith, welcome [04:28] I want 2.6.24-19-generic [04:28] Bodsda, try to remove the "savedefault" option [04:28] Marfi, ive meddled with my device.map and my menu.lst [04:28] hello [04:28] does anyone know how to deactivate the protection against buffer overflow in ubuntu? [04:28] robuntu: for whatever reason, your drive doesn't like your CD. [04:28] Bodsda: is this the result of an ubuntu install, or did you muck around with something? === benzs_s is now known as benzss [04:29] does any1 use bluefish here?? [04:29] fenec22222: ?? [04:29] FelixTheCat: any solution? [04:29] Bodsda, when dealing with computers, 0 is always first. so say you have windows installed on sda2 of your hard drive, the root would be (hd0,1) [04:29] Fryguy--, its the result of i dont know what, i havent done anything to cause it, afaik [04:29] ali_: ask a question, don't ask to ask a question [04:29] Uplink: 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [04:29] for sda1 = 0, sda2 = 1 [04:29] robuntu: I don't want to sound condescending, just make sure you have it right-side up and you aren't trying to insert a DVD into CD-only drive. [04:29] Bodsda: so one day your windows stopped booting? [04:29] i am trying to test a bufferoverflow on my ubuntu [04:29] tech0007, done [04:29] Uplink: or use synaptic [04:29] Marfi, i understand, but not if you change the mapping [04:29] robuntu: If other CDs are working, it sounds like a disc-specific problem. [04:29] Fryguy--, yes [04:29] fenec22222: buffer overflow in what app? [04:29] FelixTheCat: no disrespect taken, im sure its fine [04:30] i have been trying for hours to get a split screen on the code and design in bluefish is it possible? [04:30] if not wat about inscreem? [04:30] FelixTheCat: indeed [04:30] in a trivial C program from a tutorial [04:30] in screem* [04:30] Bodsda, what does your device.map file look like? [04:30] robuntu: If you have another computer that this disc works in, you possibly could pull the files off and share them across your network or on a USB key. [04:30] true [04:30] robuntu: One other option is to try an external CD drive. [04:30] FelixTheCat: true [04:30] Marfi, http://pastebin.com/f34a11bb3 [04:30] FelixTheCat: thanks [04:31] tech0007, is that gonna upgrade my kernel? [04:31] robuntu: Others may have more suggestions. [04:31] is ubuntu an option for 550mhz cpu? [04:31] Uplink: kernel and other programs as well [04:31] Kelvin_0, no, but xubuntu is [04:31] fenec22222: Then run a version of kernel/whatever that is susceptible to the overflow. There's no turning the protectiong on or off. Fixing a buffer overflow is the result of code auditing and writing new code. It's not a feature that you turn on or off [04:31] Kelvin_0, xubuntu may be faster, but yes [04:31] tech0007, ty bro [04:31] Could I get some help with my windows partitions pls? The problem is that they are inaccessible all of a sudden. They used to work just fine, but after I attached a new monitor to my system, I recieve a "you don't have enough permissions" message. [04:31] Kelvin_0: it'd run pretty slow, I second xubuntu. [04:31] Bodsda, may i ask why you changed it around? [04:31] I tried gksudo and chmodding those directories, but then it says that so and so location cannot be found, which is really odd. [04:31] !raid [04:31] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [04:31] ^ is there anything simpler that these? [04:32] s/that/than/ [04:32] first link has nothing [04:32] BananaMon, restart windows correctely, and stop windows correctely and it will work. [04:32] second one is not ubuntu specific [04:32] third one is really lot of work [04:32] axisys: what specifically are you trying to do? [04:32] in solaris SVM is super simple [04:32] Marfi, cause grub was doing my head in a few weeks back and i couldnt understand things and that was my solution, it makes no real difference iirc as long as device.map and menu.lst match [04:32] SVM aka disk suite aka soft raid app [04:32] WalloO, I thought that might be the problem, but both my win partitions are booting fine, and I safely shut them down many times [04:32] wish ZFS is already in linux .. life would be sooo easy [04:32] !enter | axisys [04:32] axisys: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:32] axisys: wow [04:33] axisys: ZFS is in linux [04:33] hi [04:33] BananaMon, haaaaa.... ok... [04:33] Fryguy--: it is? [04:33] Fryguy--: no way? [04:33] axisys: yes, but only as a userland addon to fuse [04:33] axisys: (probably not what you want) [04:33] how long till zday is finished? [04:33] WalloO, lol, would you have another solution? This is really problematic for me [04:33] I get this: "sudo: ati-driver-installer-8-6-x86.x86_64.run: command not found", but the file is actually there. Is it defective or am I doing something wrong? [04:33] Fryguy--: hmm :-( [04:33] how long till zday is finished? [04:33] axisys: so you are trying to do software raid, using no hardware raid components at all? [04:33] Fryguy--: i want to build a raid 1 .. i have two disks [04:34] BananaMon, not really [04:34] USERNAME, what is zday? [04:34] i dont remember who was helping me earlier but it was the issue with having win xp on my master drive (w/ a fux'd mbr, unbootable) and a slave w/ ubuntu (which im on right now).. for some reason, grub only recognizes the slave drive, and doesnt show an option to boot into xp, but the bigger is that the drive doesn't automount [04:34] Fryguy--: no .. no hardware raid [04:34] axisys: use linux mdraid then [04:34] walloO: thanks anyway [04:34] lat_ run sudo sh ati-driverblahblah63.45345 [04:34] hi, i need to change the numbers of workspace i have? [04:34] I could still use some help if anyone else has an idea [04:34] How do I undelete something I emptied from the trash bin? [04:34] lat_ chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8-6-x86.x86_64.run && sudo ./ati-driver-installer-8-6-x86.x86_64.run [04:34] lat_: make sure you are in the same directory. Run it via 'sudo ./ati-driver-...' [04:34] axisys: and you can use evms as a wrapper around it, but it is unnecessary [04:34] Shpook, you cant [04:35] Fryguy--: is there a simple howto? or this http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO would suffice ? [04:35] mystik: Right click on any panel, and add the switch workspaces applet. THen right click that and change the number of workspaces to what you want [04:35] gutsy firefox 3 is stuck on Beta 4, how can I upgrade it from the repos? [04:35] dsmith_, firefox 3.0 i believe [04:35] axisys: just look for howtos on mdadm [04:35] axisys: it's a pretty straightforward process [04:35] dsmith_, if you've been getting 8.04 updates, you're already @ 3.0 [04:35] Marfi, any idea what else to try? [04:36] Shpook: you can realistically do it without going through extreme measures. It's not something an end-user can do with any sort of success rate [04:36] no i am gutsy not hardy [04:36] Shpook: err, can't* [04:36] dsmith_, you need to enable backports repo [04:36] i am having problems installing sugarcrm , does anybody here work with it? [04:36] dsmith_, backports, or upgrade to hardy [04:36] dsmith_, of compile from source [04:37] or* [04:37] quick question... how do I mount my master drive from my slave drive? [04:37] dsmith_: you'll need to upgrade ubuntu if you want to upgrade. Ubuntu has a policy of not putting new versions of programs as part of older releases typically. Just minor point releases and security updates [04:37] rand0m-, sudo mount /dev/**# [04:37] rand0m-: the mount command is your friend [04:37] Bodsda, Fryguy-- Well, that ruins my day. :-D Thanks. [04:37] hmmm ok [04:37] Shpook: keep backups :) [04:37] Fryguy--: is there a article for hardware raid? [04:37] Shpook, backup backup backup [04:37] yeah i haven't quite learned the commands yet [04:37] axisys: hardware raid you just install a driver and you are done [04:38] Fryguy--: which one? [04:38] i basically want to make it so my master is automounted on boot.. it's a 160gb running xp and it has all my media on it [04:38] i just installed ntfs3g [04:38] *re-installed [04:38] Fryguy--: BodsdaI know, I keep telling myself to...I even installed the backup software...2 months ago. I'm regretting it now. [04:38] !fstab [04:38] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [04:38] axisys: depends on the hardware raid card you get. Mine is an areca card, so I use the areca driver (in freebsd) [04:38] Fryguy--: driver that comes with that specific hardware? [04:38] axisys: right [04:38] Fryguy--: :-) [04:38] i like software raid [04:38] !fstab | rand0m- [04:38] rand0m-: please see above [04:38] axisys: I like hardware raid. much easier to manage imo [04:38] Does anyone here know how to use the SEQ24(midi-sequencer). I am currently trying to go through an Ubuntu Community tutorial. I am instructed to rename the first Drum Loop created. This is my problem. I have tried save as. and have hunted and pecked all over the graphical interface. I cannot figure out how to change it's name form 'untitled' to 'Drums1'. I am sure it is simple and that's probably why I am not understading hehe..any h [04:39] elp would be greatly appreciated. [04:39] rand0m-, in a terminal type sudo fdisk -l then find the section relating to the disk you wont to mount (dev/hda1) then make a mount point sudo mkdir /media/mountPoint sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/mountPoint [04:39] i usually build luns on storage and then do softraid [04:39] where can i get help regarding ubuntu mailing lists? [04:39] whats the command to shutdown my computer? [04:39] Fryguy--: u can do mix [04:39] Bodsda, awesome thanks ill try that [04:39] Uplink: sudo shutdown -P now [04:39] WebcamWonder, and ubottu , thanks as well [04:39] axisys: i use an areca 1220 with a pair of raid5 arrays, all in hotswappable bays. If/when a drive fails, the card just tells me which drive failed and I just swap it out [04:39] I tried shutdown now but my computer gets stuck [04:39] Uplink, sudo halt [04:39] axisys: sure you can [04:39] Uplink, man shutdown [04:39] rand0m-: Ubottu is a bot :) [04:39] Fryguy--: build lun using raid controller and then provision them as disks to system and build your softraid around them [04:40] WalloO, whats halt for? [04:40] Uplink: sudo shutdown -h [04:40] Uplink try umm..shift+backspace to 'unstuck" it [04:40] -P applies -h [04:40] Uplink, halt = halt computer [04:40] axisys: no real benefit to using softraid over hardware raid when you have hardware raid available, especially when your hardware raid is going to accelerate xor processing [04:40] Fryguy--: that way I can use some OS memory as well as raid internal cache [04:40] ok thank you [04:40] hey all, just installed Hardy on my new ThinkPad X300. I've been reading some links on enabling trackpoint scrolling (not the touch pad), for example here http://koo.fi/tech/2008/06/05/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-ubuntu-804-installation-notes/, but no matter what I do I can't scroll w/ middle click and trackpoint. Is there something about trackpoint scrolling I don't know about? (like, is there something needed to "activate" it?) [04:41] hey guys can you give me a hand with my gutsy? kdm cats are afk [04:41] Fryguy--: thnx for your feedbacks.. finishing mdadm [04:41] hey guys whats up with this kdmtheme that doesn't work. I just installed it with apt-get and only one default theme is loaded, I can't access administrator mode it clicks and does nothing.

[04:42] Fryguy--: is there any lvm that allows shrink? [04:42] none in SUN [04:42] only grow [04:42] axisys: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=408461 looks like a decent jumping off point. Google has plenty of information about mdadm. As a last tip to you. cat /proc/mdstat to see the current state of your mdadm raid stuff. Other than that, google away and have fun [04:42] I just removed my old ubuntu kernels and restarted. Now my wlan and sound wont work. What could have happened?

Extra hops = extra latency. Will it be noticable? Probably not [04:50] Fryguy--: ok, thanks [04:50] Uplink: so Install new kernel, update vmlinuz symlinks and reboot.

[05:01] Wallo0: cool - let me check it out [05:01] rand0m-: also pastebin a list of partitions on /dev/sda (use fdisk to do it) [05:01] powertool08, well its also a proxy caching server,,(set-up correctly) can lessen page-load times, and not one pc on the network actually touches the internet,, all are seen as 1 ip, thats why the need for it to be a firewall also [05:01] hey I have a window that has for some reason popped up to the top left corner of the screen and I can't move it back down, any way to drag it back over to the center of the screen? [05:01] Bidget: hold alt and click-drag it [05:01] Bidget: (or maybe ctrl, depends on what wm you are using and how it's set up) [05:01] Bidget: right click on the panel and pick move [05:01] thanks Fryguy-- [05:01] wen iam installing ubuntu [05:02] !kernel [05:02] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [05:02] DesiSinger, there is even a script to convert videos with a simple right click on the video [05:02] tech0007, yours worked as well thanks :D [05:02] when I save a message in thunderbird as an .eml then load it why do the images not appear?

[05:02] it is not listing my partitons ,only the hole harddisks,anyway to install it in a particular partiton [05:02] SeaPhor: What is proxy caching? I don't use any proxy servers. Doesn't a storebought router also show as 1 ip to the WAN?

[05:04] fdisk -l /dev/sda ... [05:04] powertool08: a caching proxy stores the http data localy so if a LAN computer wants the data they can get it at full speed [05:04] rand0m-: what hydrogen said [05:04] rand0m-: sudo fdisk -l [05:04] DesiSinger, yes it will. [05:04] great.. [05:04] cannot open [05:04] rand0m-: sudo [05:05] bah [05:05] How do i make a link to my home directory on my desktop? [05:05] i should just end myself lol [05:05] powertool08: so http traffic will be seen as coming from the 1 IP when other traffic can be seen coming from other IPS [05:05] DesiSinger, it costs nothing to try... [05:05] alphaman1101: ln -s ~ ~/Desktop [05:05] Fryguy--, when I do when hydrogen said - i get this [05:05] Jester45: ok [05:05] Partition table entries are not in disk order [05:05] DesiSinger, some versionning may be different, but it will work the same [05:06] rand0m-: so just sudo fdisk /dev/sda, and then hit p [05:06] powertool08, a caching server literally caches every request for a url, its page, and then forwards the filtered thru the firewall results to the eu,,, then the next time any eu hits same url,,, its already cached [05:06] Fryguy--: idk why i was going through so much trouble... [05:06] i'm running hardy x86 and when i go to open the login window preferences it appears for a split second then disappears....what can i do? [05:06] Fryguy--: but it worked so Thanks [05:06] WalloO: I have already installed ffmpeg - the way they have mentioned to install it is different [05:06] alphaman1101: in terminal type gconf-editor then find /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible [05:07] how do I uninstall the current ffmpeg ? [05:07] SeaPhor: So more ram in the box = more likely page is already cached? or does it cache to the hardrive? [05:07] OMG! my terminal is messed up! i tried "cat /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic" [05:07] Uplink: type "reset" and hit enter [05:07] anybody? [05:07] no,,, hard drive [05:07] Hi everyone, I've been using Ubuntu for a few days now, but the bars up at top and bottom freeze occasionally, does anyone have an idea what this is caused by? [05:07] figured out how to name loops in seq24...had to resize the window horizontally so the renaming box would be visible..hope this info helps someone else [05:07] Uplink: why did you do a silly thing like that... [05:07] Jester45, there's no such setting [05:07] powertool08, no,,, hard drive [05:07] Fryguy--, ty wow... it was so messed up [05:07] DesiSinger: sudo aptitude remove --purge ffmpeg [05:07] I GOT IT --- apt-get remove [05:07] hydrogen, idk... i wanna see what is in that [05:07] DesiSinger: sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg' [05:07] thanks ...

[05:08] Thanks Fryguy [05:08] DesiSinger, uninstall ffmpeg, then do what is explained in the page. It works, It's the tutorial I made myself. [05:08] Jester45, it's attached in the .eml [05:08] Hi I've just upgraded my Dell 1420 laptop to Hardy 8.04 and the sound no longer works. Anybody know how to fix it? [05:08] ArrPirate: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and configure more buttons for your mice. There's plenty of tutorials on google for setting up 7+ button mice and the auxiliary steps that need to be taken so that apps recognize it properly (imwheel etc) [05:08] WalloO: Thanks - I'll test out the install and be back in few minutes [05:09] anyone know about my problem?

[05:09] dolags32128: what's the problem? [05:09] Fryguy--: any ways that don't involve editing xorg.conf? I have bad experiences with that file. [05:09] ArrPirate: no [05:09] can someone help me with my grub please? [05:10] ArrPirate: it's a simple text file. Should be straightforward to edit if you are paying attention [05:10] Fryguy--: That's a bit of a shortcoming. [05:10] Fryguy--, : I dont even know what you're asking me... basically.. i want it so my master drive is automatically moutned so that when I hit "places" it's one of the options like "computer" or "documents" [05:10] ArrPirate: make a backup before you start. cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [05:10] ArrPirate: uh, ok? [05:10] how do I restart X? [05:11] I cant seem to find the icon that runs vmware i installed it but cant run it .. help please [05:11] Bidget: ctrl+alt+bksp [05:11] powertool08, the last 1 i built was in 03, was a P3 box with 512 ram, raid0 dual 180s, RH-8 (or 9) running a community college, 350 pcs + the library,,, close to 500 boxes [05:11] thanks Odd-rationale [05:11] well everytime i open the login window preferences it opens for a second then crashes [05:11] AMLNXUSR: can u run it when u type 'vmware' on terminal?

[05:15] honestly i need to stop smoking weed for this [05:15] WalloO: In the first step - it mentions to execute the following commands - Are they separate commands ? or could be executed in one line? [05:15] and this is why ubuntu's root jr. is no safer [05:15] DesiSinger, there is an error (a missing return) in the first command: [05:15] can someone help me with my grub please? [05:15] than a real root account === Fryguy--_ is now known as Fryguy-- [05:15] hydrogen: i never said use sudo blindly [05:15] rand0m-: sudo gedit /etc/fstab [05:15] Uplink: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:16] DesiSinger, there was two commands.

[05:17] just reboot & see ? [05:17] co_cr_tmn [05:17] Jester45: yes you are :) (that's your server, not the one that split) [05:18] axisys, yeah, don't quote me... you might have to use gmail-notifier to hijack mailto: links [05:18] wow [05:18] spam [05:18] ... [05:18] wow! that fixed it!!! all this time it was that stupid button on the front labeled "power" [05:18] welcome back kubrickians [05:18] SeaPhor: I can see the benefits of the firewall, but my iptables knowledge is non-existant at the time so it isn't the best undertaking at the moment [05:18] SWEET! [05:19] axisys, im not sure, but i think the better gmail plugin will do that for you [05:19] WalloO: I'm at a stopping point - its asking me for Ubuntu 7.10 CD --- while I left it at work .. so I will have to burn it again [05:19] sudo update-grub [05:19] :D [05:19] DesiSinger, no.

[05:19] DesiSinger, in your package source configuration, disable CD-rom [05:19] DesiSinger, maybe it can fix your problem and download it. [05:20] DesiSinger: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove all lines with CDROM in them [05:20] DesiSinger, I hope (it's a guess) [05:20] hey anyone with proftpd knowledge, I have ssh/sftp listening on port 21 and proftpd listening on port 22, anyways when i connect with sftp and mget a file everything works fine, but if i do normal ftp with same username and pw and everything is good until i try to 'get/mget' in which it tells me operation not permitted [05:21] use less confusing ports ? :) [05:21] burner: yep google toolbar does that [05:21] davidd: yep i could have used that too..

[05:22] lol there goes the kubrickians again [05:22] what the....!!!! [05:22] Bidget: it's a somewhat complicated topic for a noobie :) [05:22] go in, go out, go in, go out....hmmmm.... there are some sport tonight... :) [05:22] Fryguy--, yeah that's kind of what I thought :( [05:22] !netsplit [05:22] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

Is it some way of tricking the os into thinking its 32-bit or am I not even close at all [05:23] basically, you have a directory structure right now that starts at root, /, with all of your applications inside of it, etc etc. Making a chroot (change-root) means making a stripped down mirror of your directory structure somewhere, (like /chroot), and making /chroot become the new root for some applications. The benefit of this is that you can put a full 32-bit toolchain in there and run all 32-bit stuff without having to === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [05:23] DesiSinger, you can use interface: menu->administration->software source or comment the line with cd-rom [05:24] i just commented the line with cdrom [05:24] Fryguy--, ah that sounds great... however complicated it may be [05:24] and i shall re run the command [05:24] first update your sources [05:24] sudo apt-get update [05:24] hey anyone who knows about proftpd i have an ftp that when i login i can go through a directory just fine and put to the same place, but when i attempt to 'get' a file it tells me the operation is not permitted, yet the permissions on the file that i am 'get'ing is -rwxrwxrwx [05:24] i think the gui does it for you [05:25] DesiSinger, you need to update your package list first: apt-get update and apt-get upgrade [05:25] !repeat | dubby [05:25] dubby: try #proftpd [05:25] everyone ready for Intrepid Ibex [05:25] man I love linux [05:25] how do I get notified when there is update?

It's a pull-based system, not a push-based system [05:28] Jester45: i like the reboot icon on desktop [05:28] axisys if you upgrade the kernel or libc6 [05:28] !webcam [05:28] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [05:28] :( [05:28] ah [05:28] I'm attempting to use Update manager to go from 7.04 to 7.10. I fairly quickly get the error message "Failed to fetch http://www.openembedded.org/dl/packages/Packages.gz 302 Found" Any ideas on how to work around this? [05:28] WalloO : sure [05:28] !info gkrellm | aroo [05:28] aroo: gkrellm (source: gkrellm): The GNU Krell Monitors. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.3.1-1ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 734 kB, installed size 2076 kB [05:28] Does anyone know of any software that will synchronize a folder onto multiple machines and propagate changes from any of them? [05:28] nickrud: would be nice to get some kind a log or email notification [05:29] Shuggle: rsync [05:29] axisys heh. do you have a mail server installed? [05:29] arooni, yes, and much more... install screenlet, and Watermarek screenlets ( http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=71960&forumpage=0 ) [05:29] axisys: most of the times the icon on the desktop is an unneeded reboot. normally you only have to retart X for the update to show. [05:29] nickrud: yes [05:30] axisys hm, unless ubuntu turned it off, you're getting messages in /var/spool/ [05:30] ok guys I think Im ready, I've been using linux for a little while and I can copy and paste, now how do I make a 32bit chroot? :D === tomaw_ is now known as Guest95848 [05:30] axisys: the other common non kernel update is display drivers for ati/nvidia but a server doesnt use those so your safe from that [05:30] Fryguy--: in a way that is mostly transparent, so each user will not need to update after adding or removing files from the directory? === kat is now known as Guest70217 [05:30] axisys /var/spool/mail/username that is [05:30] Shuggle: that's not really possible to do, because conflicts will emerge and you will overwrite data if you try to do it fully automatically [05:30] Bidget: your next skill to learn is ubottu [05:31] !chroot | Bidget [05:31] Bidget: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [05:31] Fryguy any tips? [05:31] alright guys here I go [05:31] hey, why can't I format drives to ntfs using gparted? (ubuntu 8.04) [05:31] dolags32128: any tips for what? [05:31] nickrud: so i should check in root's email? [05:31] please what's the utility of this page : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech ? [05:32] WalloO, how do i get screenlet installed: apt-get install screenlet didnt work [05:32] axisys I'm assuming you set an alias up for root in /etc/aliases, but if not, yes [05:32] Fryguy--: well, my friend an I are interested in automatically mirror each others downloaded media [05:32] yoshokatana: why do you need to use ntfs. but i dont think linux supports making NTFS partitions yet just read and write [05:32] does anyone use code LOLPython? [05:32] Shuggle: so use rsync [05:32] pzzzzz [05:32] arooni, sudo apt-get install screenlets [05:33] Jester45: hmm, gparted lists ntfs as an option, but it's grayed out in the gui [05:33] arooni, then, extract Watermark in ~/.screenlets/ [05:33] I've just upgraded my Dell 1420 laptop to Hardy 8.04 and the sound no longer works. Anybody know how to fix it? [05:33] yoshokatana: check out ntfs-3g 's website for more details they are very active so they might have support but ubuntu might have a old version [05:33] hey anyone here run spamassassin? is there a process I can look for? [05:33] Jester45: also, I'm using it for a drive that windows will recognize (and I need to store files larger than 4 gigs on) [05:33] ah, ok [05:33] like spammassassind [05:34] !alsa | rkj [05:34] rkj: 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 [05:34] yoshokatana: windows can access ext2/3 with a installable driver [05:34] arooni, after, launch the screenlet manager in menu->preference. Launch several times Watermark to display several parameters (temperatures, cpu, fans, etc....) [05:34] yoshokatana: or have windows format it [05:34] evening folks [05:34] good evening [05:34] My webcam quickcam express (046d:0870) worked but it not worked subitly, where can become the problem , === DankTan1 is now known as DankTank [05:34] ya know what that chroot stuff sounds scary maybe I'll just try and make zsnes work under wine [05:34] i work on ubuntu 8.04 hardy [05:35] is there another version of ubuntu 8.04? [05:35] rkj, this morning, sound stopped working for me. I set every sound parameter to alsa, then had to restart to re-enable sound [05:35] WalloO, i installed screenlets; but dont know what you mean: arooni, then, extract Watermark in ~/.screenlets/ .... also what do you mean screenlets manager in menu preferences [05:35] to where hardy needs to be mentioned as a descrikptor? [05:35] -k [05:35] Just installed 8.04 and my 30" monitor is displaying 1280x800, can someone point me in the right direction to get NVIDIA drivers? [05:35] DankTank, i don't know :) [05:35] <|NoNick|> howto install belkin 54g wireless card driver in linux? can someone help? [05:35] yea.. i dont know either [05:35] davidd hate to seem dumb, but what volume control? And I tried the troubleshooting page with no success [05:35] arooni, download Watermark screenlet here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=71960&forumpage=0 and install it in ~/.screenlets/ folder [05:36] jyoseph_: restricted drivers manager [05:36] |NoNick|, dongle or pci card ? [05:36] Fryguy--: after reading the wikipedia page about rsync, I found out about a program called unison. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unison_(file_synchronizer) [05:36] Fryguy--: I [05:36] WalloO, ok so dont use the package version (sudo apt-get install)?

Gave me more options but all lower resoultions [05:37] WalloO, davidd I will try a system reboot and see if that helps - I went to the Multimedia Selector and selected Alsa for both input and output [05:37] jyoseph_: probably easier to just edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually then, and put in 2560x1600 manually [05:37] evening jester and fryguy [05:37] WalloO, are there other things to set to alsa first? [05:37] rkj: hmm.... i was hoping that might answer something if that wasn't the first place you looked (after that, i don't really know jack yet... sorry for leading you on if i did.. I here to learn and TRY and contribute where possible) [05:37] my login window preferences keeps crashing when i go to open it.....running hardy [05:37] * obf213 has quit [05:37] arooni, you need to install screenlets (sudo apt-get install screenlets ) to install the screenlets framwork. Watermark need screenlets to be installed [05:37] Fryguy--: whoa I can do that? awesome I'll give that a shot! [05:38] davidd i know the feeling [05:38] jyoseph_: make a backup of the file before you start messing with it, that way if you mess up you can restore it [05:38] WalloO, do i extract the entire screenlets thing to the .screenlets directory? [05:38] i got my wireless problem resolved! [05:38] w000000000000000t [05:38] WalloO, cuz i installed screenlets and i dont have a ~/.screenlets auto created; should id o that myself? [05:39] Fryguy-- solid advice, i'll make sure to do that... I might have to reboot (re enable the driver) but I'll be back [05:39] crap i closed another chan [05:39] arooni, the Watermark screenlet package must be extracted (completely) in ~/.screenlets [05:39] brb [05:39] arooni, create it [05:40] WalloO, ok; so it should look like : ~/.screenlets/Watermark ? [05:40] arooni, yes [05:40] WalloO, ok done; whats next ? [05:41] my login window preferences keeps crashing when i go to open it.....running hardy.....any tips? [05:42] arooni, launch menu->preferences->Screenlets to launch the screenlets manager. Then from there, launch watermark. Launch it several times to display several system parameters. As soon as you launch one, right click on it and go to properties to configure what you want it to display === kevin__ is now known as kevinm__ [05:43] someone knows how can i disable the freewin in ubuntu i dont see any freewin plugin there ...

[05:44] WalloO, like a widget thing for osx [05:45] compiz supports a widget layer [05:45] Fryguy--, how do i add widgets? [05:46] no idea, i don't use compiz so i don't have details, should be in compiz settings manager somewhere [05:46] arooni, right click on the screenlet displayed on your desktop and chose "properties" Then you will be able to change what it displays. Install acpi, hddtemp, nvclock and lmsensors to have all system information available [05:46] arooni: screenlets can be configured to be widgets in their properties [05:46] crdlb, i dont see where [05:46] arooni: you can also put arbirary windows in the widget layer with the compiz settings manager [05:46] hi , virtualbox freezes when i suspend. i have to reboot to get vbox to work anymore. how can i get vbox to restart so i dont have to reboot [05:47] crdlb, is screnlets a good widget platform? [05:47] to use with compiz-fusion === juanillo is now known as juan1ll0 [05:47] heyy, today I reached the 25000 download for my screenlet (WaterMark)...

I installed Hardy Heron the other day and Updated the kernel using the update manager. After the upgrade I would receive errors when trying to start the new kernel (release 19 i think). I am still able to boot the old version of the kernel (r16). I followed the steps in this forum entry (http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=813090) because the problems reported here seem to match mine exactly, but I h [05:48] ave been unsuccessful so far. Has anyone else seen this issue? [05:49] guys my kernel is 2.6.18.8 <<< its old but should i stick with it? [05:49] whabo: is there anything in a newer kernel that benefits you? [05:49] crdlb, how do i add widgets from screenlets to my widget layer? [05:49] whabo: it's up to you if you want to upgrade or not I guess. [05:50] Fryguy: maybe a better driver for my wireless [05:50] whabo: there's probably no reason NOT to ugprade [05:50] Fryguy what is the latest? [05:50] whabo: no idea [05:50] whabo: kernel.org should tell you [05:50] arooni: as WalloO said, right click on the screenlet and choose the properties item [05:50] pointed it out [05:51] crdlb, awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love it when sotware just works [05:51] anyone know if 8.04.1 is on track for its scheduled July 3rd release?

I had it working a while back and I did sudo apt-get upgrade and now its not working again.... :'( [05:52] Fryguy--: Right... I forgot that Ubuntu was a derivative of Debian :) [05:52] Bidget: there's plenty of tutorials on google for getting flash working on amd64, are you running into a specific problem? [05:52] anyone know how ubuntu handle the RTC time when installed with ubiquity? [05:52] hrlr: more generally, ubuntu is opensource. We release when it's ready [05:53] Fryguy--, well 2 seconds of the video will play and then it will stop [05:53] Fryguy--: ubuntu hardy host, windows xp guest. when i suspend the host by shutting my laptop, vbox completely locks up. i cant even up the manager. i have to reboot for it to work again [05:53] Fryguy--, the weird thing is I can see all the flash menus and stuff, its just the videos that wont pay [05:53] Fryguy--, play** [05:53] I shoulda just stuck with 7.10 [05:53] esac: just kill all virtualbox processes and start again [05:54] Bidget: run firefox from a terminal and try to play a video, see if flashplugin spits out any useful debug information [05:54] k [05:54] where can I find my system hardware?

[05:55] AGGGHHH [05:55] how do i open a port in ubuntu? im unable to use dcc chat in irc and im thinking that it might be blocked [05:55] Bidget: Flash Player 9 in Hardy (with FF3) sucks. [05:55] esac most have issues with suspending to ram or hibernate, and you expect a virtualization to even work after hibernation?..umm fat chance [05:55] im trying to get pptpd to work.... ive apt-getted pptpd and added users to /etc/ppp/chap-secrets .... but my clients cannot connect! error 619... /var/log/syslog says "Jul 3 06:53:25 ks361773 pptpd[7220]: GRE: read(fd=7,buffer=80505c0,len=8260) from network failed: status = -1 error = No route to host" [05:55] Jul 3 06:53:25 ks361773 pptpd[7220]: CTRL: GRE read or PTY write failed (gre,pty)=(7,6) [05:55] selocol: it's not, ubuntu doesn't ship a firewall by default [05:56] Everytime I restart Ubuntu I have to re-enter my DNS settings [05:56] Fryguy--: ok thanks [05:56] selocol: are you sending or receiving? [05:56] hrlr, ff3? [05:56] I saved them as a location and hit apply, it still does it [05:56] selocol-> by default ubuntu firewall rulez are ACCEPT no rules [05:56] amenado: you have quite the knack for putting words in my mouth [05:56] Bidget: Firefox 3 [05:56] It's really annoying to have to unlock then re-add my DNS everytime, how can I fix it? [05:56] hrlr, oh. yeah. [05:56] Kappaccino: i am sending [05:56] WalloO I tried a reboot, as far as I can see I have everything set to Alsa, my sound card driver seems to be the same as the one used in Gutsy (same device name) but still no sound [05:56] amenado: i've reread my statement and dont see where i am complaining or expecting it to work? [05:57] Xavura: make your dhcp server give you the right dns settings, or stop using roaming mode [05:57] esac no matter, i experience same, no hibernation with full recovery yet [05:57] Bidget: I hope they backport Flash Player 10 for Hardy when it is final. [05:57] amenado: i just dont want to have to reboot to have to restart my virtual machine. it hanging is ok with me for now [05:57] selocol: check your router, that might be the problem. If not, then check network settings in xchat [05:57] rkj, have you tried to play sound from the soud configuration interface? [05:57] I assume that's what you're using >.> [05:57] Anybody know that how's the hardware clock set (utc or local time) when installed by graphical method? [05:58] esac: i told you what to do to solve that, use kill and kill all virtualbox processes [05:58] m8i-freya: pretty sure it defaults to localtime [05:58] Fryguy--: i know, i was just responding to amenado's statement [05:58] WalloO, if you mean using the "Test" on the sound config dialog then yes, and it makes no sound [05:58] esac am not sure why you even have virtualization in a laptop..those are pretty much designed for server type [05:58] Roaming is disabled [05:58] amenado: not really [05:58] how to browse windows networks with xubuntu ? [05:58] do I change it to static IP [05:58] rkj, that's a big issue... :( [05:59] or localzeroconf network [05:59] amenado: i have to use windows xp to connect to work. its either virtualization or getting rid of linux [05:59] or whatever it is [05:59] amenado: virtualization is becoming pretty ubiqutous, especially with the more and more widespread adoption of multiple operating systems [05:59] Kappaccino: ok [05:59] Fryguy--: Tks... But what if the clock is set to UTC and installed (for example, Mac OS X). Do I need to set the timezone again? [05:59] Claw6: try the #xubuntu channel [05:59] esac: why do you have to use winxp to connect to work btw [05:59] vpn probably [05:59] m8i-freya: yah [05:59] WalloO no kidding. Makes Hardy kind of a bummer. [05:59] Fryguy--: ok... [05:59] jbroome: vpn works fine in linux [05:59] whyameye: all sleeping there [06:00] Fryguy--: vpn software that is designed to only work with windows [06:00] Fryguy--: all vpn clients? no. [06:00] esac: uh, most of them work fine with linux. you might want to elaborate on that problem instead of using virtualbox as a workaround, because you can probably do what you want in native linux [06:00] when using pyneighborhood i get error : unable to mount [06:00] rkj, I'm sorry, but I can't help you. Rkj have you upgraded or installed from scratch? [06:01] esac to connect to your work? perhaps you can run vnc like at your work end..and use vnc on linux end or use the rdp [06:01] jbroome: most do [06:01] does any one knows why usb transfers are slow on ubuntu hardy ?? [06:01] mbi0_: how slow [06:02] amenado: against policy and firewall'd and no access to firewall [06:02] mbi0_-> what speed do you expect? [06:02] well it starts at 13 mb/s [06:02] and then it falls down to 1.1 mb/s when it transfers over 100 mb [06:02] WalloO upgraded from Gutsy. Sound was working fine before the "upgrade" [06:02] Fryguy--: the vpn software is written to only work in windows, and it actually checks this as part of the 'quarantine' process [06:02] WalloO: finally the upgrade finished [06:02] I edited my xorg.conf file with SubSection "Display" [06:02] Depth 24 [06:02] Modes "1280x1024@60" [06:02] EndSubSection [06:02] esac: what vpn software [06:02] Do i need vmware player or vmware server to be able to run windows on ubuntu?

You might also want to look at using wine as a compatibility layer for windows applications [06:03] oopps [06:03] WalloO if it's of interest, the machine is a Dell Inspiron 1420 [06:03] amenado u think u could help me ? [06:03] WalloO: just build up with 7.10 [06:03] rkj, upgrade is not recommended.

[06:04] jyoseph: after you edited the conf, did you restart X? [06:04] WalloO upgrade not recommended?? If I install from scratch won't I have to reinstall every package too? [06:04] Fryguy--: nope, but others at work have, it doesnt work === kat is now known as Guest50121 [06:05] AMLNXUSR: vmware and virtualbox consistently benchmark at near native speeds, qemu and parallels are somewhat slower [06:05] Fryguy-- restart X? No I don't believe so [06:05] WalloO: E: Couldn't find package libfaad-dev [06:05] jyoseph: you need to [06:05] Hello all.

I never could get all the other audio jacks such as external mic in to work with the previous versions either [06:08] esac: ps aux and take a look at the list manually, or grep -i because i'm pretty sure there's a virtualbox process with a capital V [06:09] nm, missed that you did -i [06:09] i can't install my webcam :( [06:09] dolags [06:09] esac: you are missing a process though [06:09] oops n/m [06:09] Fryguy--: i did specify -i .... but ill check the whole list [06:09] please heeelp [06:09] enn [06:09] !patience | kitu [06:09] kitu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[06:10] I have synaptic open [06:10] dunno its just a default install [06:10] gnub: you need to install the correct driver for your x1300 [06:10] gnub: by default, no driver is specified === joar is now known as ls [06:11] but the driver you want is "intel" [06:11] gnub: so either remove that line, or change it to Driver "intel" [06:11] WalloO I don't mean to complain. I can get a year of support from Canonical for about the price of windows with no support, and windows generally doesn't work any better. [06:11] DesiSinger, maybe if you can't find libfaad-dev, try without it [06:12] crdlb: might be ati he wants, doesn't seem to be an intel x1300 graphics :/ [06:12] changed to intel brb going to restart x [06:12] gnub: lspci | grep -i vga [06:12] something strange i see in the websites is they all say how to compile the mplayer and everything and works fine and everything just they forget that the sources o the mplay avaliable dont have the security bugs paths correct it is complectlly buggy [06:12] DesiSinger: Try faad. I can tell that libfaad-dev exists. [06:12] Fryguy--: he could mean the X3100, but you may be right :/ [06:12] dolphin_noel: what? [06:13] Fryguy--, i must re compile my kernel to install qc-usb-source [06:13] is there a weather screenlets that actually works? [06:13] and i don't know to do [06:13] dolphin_noel: mplayer is in the ubuntu repositories, any particular reason why you are compiling it from scratch? [06:13] ey i just did a fresh install the command line Ubuntu install.. everytime i try to set my vga= in grub it just gives me a black screen when i reboot.. [06:13] any ideas? [06:14] m8i-freya --- tried 'faad' - it was not installed so ran apt-get install faad -- and that installed it === rui is now known as Maverick_LSC [06:14] Does anyone know how to reset file system permissions to defaults? [06:14] mephux: make sure framebuffer drivers are installed and set up correctly [06:14] Fryguy-- well arent they in not so safe software repositorys?! [06:14] DesiSinger: I mean search on faad... [06:14] Fryguy-- so bether i disable some options there dont?! [06:14] lol -- i guess too late for that [06:14] dolphin_noel: what? [06:14] Fryguy--: would that just be xserver-xorg-vesa? [06:14] dolphin_noel: what specific problem are you having [06:15] mephux: no [06:15] heyyy im drawing a blank... in the terminal lets say you need to get to your desktop and without saying /home/username/Desktop isnt there some short way of doing a like $home/Desktop or something? [06:15] mephux: vga is setting console level graphics resolution, it has nothing to do with X11 [06:15] HuXu: ~/Desktop [06:15] omgsh thank you [06:15] k [06:15] HuXu: ~/Desktop [06:15] That fixed it [06:15] I guess I am a gnub huh [06:15] any idea of some i could try for a macbook? [06:15] gnub: did you mean X3100? :) [06:15] ya [06:15] mephux: nope [06:16] Fryguy-- i was talking about the websites in internet they all teah hoow to compile the mplayr just they orget to warn that need to put the mplayer security paths ... because the sources that we download dont have allready the path corrected [06:16] HuXu and yes thats okay too $HOME/Desktop not the caps [06:16] gnub: you're compiz probably won't work, you'll need to set option composite in xorg.conf as well for that to work [06:16] Fryguy--: he already did that, and it's not necessary anyway [06:16] composite has been enabled by default since Feisty [06:16] dolphin_noel: 1. learn english 2. learn how to spell 3. an already compiled version of mplayer is in ubuntu, configured to work correctly with ubuntu [06:17] Fryguy-- so they say how to compile but they dont say that we need to put the security paths so i was mouths think the mplayer compilation the source have the security path included and corrected whith last vertion [06:17] can ubuntu resise vista NTFS? [06:17] crdlb: i didn't think compositing worked with vesa so it was disabled with stock xorg.confs === Irreduci1ilis_ is now known as Irreducibilis_ [06:17] KDE4000 - are you wanting to do a dual boot? [06:17] yeah for the moment [06:17] dolphin_noel: the version of mplayer in ubuntu is fine [06:18] Fryguy--: the only time ubuntu has ever explictely disabled composite was when enabling fglrx on feisty and gutsy [06:18] I am running vista / ubuntu dual boot now [06:18] im going to remove ubuntu and put gentoo on if it works on this new laptop [06:18] Does anyone know how to reset file system permissions to defaults? [06:18] (is linux novice) [06:18] *not [06:18] Fryguy-- if is fine why so many persons compile the mplayer ?! [06:18] Tea4all: what are you specifically trying to do [06:18] where is the process manager in ubuntu? [06:18] i am looking for help on changing permisions, my normal user is denied access, to many files, any help? [06:18] Fryguy--: vesa doesn't break when composite is enabled (but it probably doesn't actually support composite) [06:18] TurkSat: in system --> admin menu [06:18] and is puted in the not so secure reposiroty?! === tofaffy|lappy is now known as Jared [06:18] dolphin_noel: because not everybody uses ubuntu, and sometimes people want newer features of mplayer that aren't available in whatever version of mplayer their linux distribution packages [06:19] hi, where can I get ubuntu 7.10 LiveCD download? is it still available? [06:19] I think linux or at least ubuntu can, but I would not do that. I launched the mmc and had vista shrink the partition creating free space. then loaded ubuntu and did install to free space. [06:19] Anybody familiar with EnvyNG? [06:19] KDE4000: I don't have that [06:19] quicksilver_: ask a question, don't ask to ask [06:19] Fryguy-- and what this taks from what i was talking about?! [06:19] Fryguy-- and what this takes from what i was talking about?! [06:19] its just that this laptpo has strange partitioning [06:19] ApOgEE-, why 7.10? [06:19] kde4000 - grub works for both ubuntu and vista - even windows restore partition [06:19] I basically need to know if I should just trust it to update my Nvidia drivers... Is it going to have a problem with kernel versions? [06:19] 3 primary partitions then 4 extended and unallocated 1mb then 2GB fat32 [06:19] KDE4000: did you do defragmentation? [06:20] it has special media buttons [06:20]  I am trying to reset the / file system permissions to the installed defaults. [06:20] Uplink, just wanna keep the old one.. ;D [06:20] dolphin_noel: what does what take. Just install mplayer from ubuntu repositories and forget about compiling it. You don't have a need to compile it [06:20] m8i-freya: i just got laptop a few hours ago, probaly no need [06:20] Tea4all: what files to what defaults [06:20] ApOgEE-, lol ok then google it mate [06:20] Or is it set up to detect the kernel version, and get the newest nvidia driver? [06:20] there is no magic command that just undoes every filesystem permission in the system. What specific problem are you having [06:20] ApOgEE-, i got the retail Live CD but its 7.04 [06:20] kde4000 - with ubuntu I told it to install on largest free space which was my 15 gig of unallocated space. I did not use vista to create a second partition, just to create empty space that linux could configure [06:21] is there a weather screenlets that actually works? [06:21]  I am trying to reset the / file system permissions to the installed defaults. [06:21] maybe i will just delete recovery partition. [06:21] Uplink, do you know where can I download it? I've googled but can't find CD I've already got the liveDVD iso [06:21] kde4000 - but if you do this you should defrag your windows machine before shrinking. [06:21] hey it's work but, i don't know for how many time [06:21] Tea4all: saying the same thing over and over isn't going to get you help any faster, answering our questions will [06:21] Ok, and now all in one line: Anybody familiar with EnvyNG? I basically need to know if I should just trust it to update my Nvidia drivers... Is it going to have a problem with kernel versions? Or is it set up to detect the kernel version, and get the newest nvidia driver? [06:21] ApOgEE-, Ubuntu 7.10 LTS Desktop? [06:21] rebooting it then [06:21] Uplink, yes [06:22] ApOgEE-, 2 seconds [06:22] Tea4all: there isnt a easy way to do that [06:22] kde4000 - I still have my restore partition although i have thought about deleting it for space. but installing like I did kept my restore partion and working vista partition and grub correctly identified the boot paramaters for those two partitions. [06:22] Fryguy-- because i dont trust ... [06:22] btw, is there more mirrors than what synaptic offers by default? [06:22] Tea4all-> how did you even get to mess around with the permission of / filesystem? [06:23] dolphin_noel: well if you don't trust ubuntu's repository, you shouldn't be using ubuntu. You are free to use apt-src to download the src of mplayer as ubuntu runs it and audit it if you want [06:23] ApOgEE-, amd64? or i386? [06:23] Fryguy-- every distro whith same software have allways diferent codes .... [06:23] Uplink, both if available [06:23] Fryguy--: use gentoo :-) [06:23] the only way is to chmod everything your self to the correction permissions, reinstall or like i did for /var was copy the data from a nother system (that was luckly a copy of the first) and fix a few problems after that [06:23] ApOgEE-, torrents [06:23] Fryguy-- so it is the same i use this or another one [06:23] KDE4000: i use freebsd [06:23] Hello. I got Ubuntu cd yesterday and installed it. I have been using windows Xp. Now i want to connect to internet using Ubuntu. I am using a braodband connection. How can I configure it in Ubuntu. [06:23] Can anybody help me with a multiple display setup problem in Hardy? I have a laptop and a second display that is showing a clone of the laptop display just beautifully. On the "Monitor Resolution" tool I can uncheck the "Clone screens" button, it correctly identifies the second screen, but the display is still cloned. [06:23] I had to copy some files over to /sbin/ for the nvidia driver and I messed them up on accident. [06:24] dolphin_noel: right, and the source code is available for all of them, so feel free to audit it if you would like [06:24] Uplink, is that the official one? [06:24] how do i log in as root? [06:24] Can Any one help me? [06:24] ApOgEE-, yes, final release [06:24] Jaseem: should work out of the box, what specific problem are you having [06:24] Kiyiko: use sudo [06:24] Fryguy-- are you slow to think?! [06:24] dolphin_noel: not at all, are you too dumb to learn english? [06:24] to catch the idea?! [06:24] how do i do that, i am new to all of this [06:24] I don't know how to setup broadband in Ubuntu, it was easy in Windows. [06:24] rkj: that could be a hardware problem, my friends laptop wont make 2 desktops it just clones the display or uses the external one [06:24] i dont bealiver this is one english problem [06:24] Using intrepid. [06:24] wow, 640x480 on a 30" monitor is tricky [06:25] Jaseem: it works out of the box [06:25] Uplink, can you share the link? [06:25] Jaseem: What broadband are you using. Do you need a Login and a password? [06:25] Jaseem - if you are using dhcp it should auto detect. are you trying wireless or wired connection? [06:25] ApOgEE-, are u a member of demonoid? [06:25] dolphin_noel: I answered your question, both how to correctl install mplayer and how to audit it to make sure it has whatever patches you desire. Do you have another question? [06:25] Kiyiko: "sudo command" in a terminal executes "command" but with superuser priviledge [06:25] the control alt backspace let me pick my monitor / graphic card and test but none worked [06:26] then I ended with 640x480 [06:26] I have my telephone line connected to a white box and there is two wires that connect the box and computer. [06:26] jyoseph: so you set resolution to 2560x1600, then you restarted X, and what happened [06:26] jyoseph: What graphic card are you using. [06:26] One wire is USB and other is RJ45 [06:26] help!!! i cant get firestarter to run [06:26] m8i-freya: he has an nvidia card [06:26] jyoseph: is it support dual link? [06:26] Fryguy-- roung you dont answser to my quetion because you was answer to something that i dont ask ... it wasone afirmation [06:26] I got this when I came here last time. [06:26] ApOgEE-, http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ [06:27] dolphin_noel Fryguy-- please ease up on the getting heated discussion, please [06:27] help!!! i cant get firestarter to run, ANY HELP?? [06:27] Some one said that it can be configured as a router, but he didn't want to risk as I didn't have any documentation. [06:27] Jaseem - have you tried plugging the cable (RJ45) to your linux computer and booted up then check to see if you have internet connection? [06:27] ok ok [06:27] dolphin_noel: you asked how to compile software in ubuntu, I told you that the software was already compiled, and I told you how to look at the source that it uses. If you would like further information, install the "build-essential" package and compile whatever you want by hand [06:27] Uplink, I've go to that link before, can't view the page [06:27] I have WIndows and Linux in same computer. [06:27] ApOgEE-, why not? [06:27] does anyone know how to setup a crossover for pulseaudio? [06:28] koop: what exactly "won't work? [06:28] Uplink, also go to http://releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ [06:28] ApOgEE-, stop playing around [06:28] Jaseem: if you just want to desktop surf, you dont need to configure your linux computer to be a router. it should auto detect your network settings. what distro are you using for linux - ubuntu? [06:28] Fryguy-- roung i dont ask how to compile mplayer in ubuntu .... i was talking about the websites tech to compile the mplayer just they never say that in comppilation we need to download ater the security paths because the source of mplayer come buggy [06:28] Uplink, that's why i asked... is it still available [06:29] links are there [06:29] Tea4all, the firewall... i can get firestarter to work commenting some lines in /etc/firestarter, but when it runs the network is blocked... [06:29] dolphin_noel: and that has nothing to do with ubuntu, so why are you asking it in here [06:29] they work for me [06:29] Fryguy-- I set the resolution to 2560, picked the 3007wfp / nVidia Geforce 7800 and hit test, Every time I tried I just got a bunch of mess [06:29] is there any way to change the username? i told install to use "kiyiko", but i am stuck with "user" [06:29] jyoseph: just ignore the set resolution dialog, and edit the xorg.conf manually [06:29] Pooterman: I am technically backward, I am using Ubuntu. Tell me how to setup the broadband connection. [06:29] Tea4all, and if I no comment some lines, the firewall doesnt run at all...! [06:29] Fryguy--: http://www.savvyadmin.com/console-framebuffer-in-ubuntu/ [06:29] Kiyiko: system | administration | users and groups create a new user [06:29] found that.. [06:29] Fryguy-- i was not asking i was making one afirmation to the persons be atention ... to this ... myself walk mouths whithout catch this litle detail that all [06:30] WalloO: Are the following warning okay to have while getting the source for ffmpeg ?? [06:30] think that may do the trick [06:30] Are you blocking port 80? [06:30] 1 --- gpg: new configuration file `/root/.gnupg/gpg.conf' created [06:30] 2 --- gpg: WARNING: options in `/root/.gnupg/gpg.conf' are not yet active during this run [06:30] nickrud: can you kick dolphin_noel, they obviously don't speak english, and i can't recognize the language that they use to direct them to an appropriate language channel [06:30] 3 --- gpg: Signature made Sun 03 Jun 2007 03:13:53 PM EDT using DSA key ID 945348A4 [06:30] Fryguy-- please don't continue then [06:30] 4 --- gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found [06:31] DesiSinger, I don't really know [06:31] Fryguy-- it was one warning ... man relax that all ... [06:31] dolphin_noel: ? [06:31] ok good night :) [06:31] dolphin_noel and Fryguy-- is right, it's not really an ubuntu issue, that's why we have precompiled stuff available. [06:31] Uplink, i just managed to get the LiveDVD ISO before... still waiting [06:31] ApOgEE-, i dont understand what u want [06:32] would you guys know if there's anyway to get info from a bookmarks .html file? I can't get it to import into FF or Opera?? [06:32] Where can I find some help about firestarter?? [06:32] nickrud: seriously, you are scolding me for answering their questions how I did? I gave extremely detailed verbose answers, and they just replied by basically typing random words, and you scold me?! What exactly did i do wrong there, besides one poor comment on my part [06:32] when creating a new user, what is the "main group" setting? [06:32] Jaseem: what we are trying to tell you is your system should not need to be configured. your router is probably handing out an address for your computer and your linux install should work just fine with that. but if you go to "system" on your desktop and select "administration" and then "network" you can change your settings. on my system I have to click the unlock button to access the network settings but then i can [06:32] change things [06:33] Kiyiko: It's the first group that the user belongs to, and the group that files belong to when files are created by the user [06:33] Why are there necessary two address book files: /home//.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db and /home//.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db.summary? [06:33] Fryguy-- no, I was not scolding you. More a matter of reminding you there is a law of diminishing returns [06:33] Kiyiko: typical conventions are to have a group with the same name as the user, or have a "users" group [06:33] Uplink, ok.. just now I get it... it wasn't here before.. sorry [06:33] Fryguy-- missed adding the ;) [06:33] Jaseem: As long as your ISP does not require special software or special login information then your linux install should work without any problem. just plug the cable into your computer, boot to linux and launch firefox. usually it works [06:34] ApOgEE-, if u ask for help you should "be here" [06:34] WalloO : I got the following while trying to configure [06:34] ERROR: x264 not found [06:35] what is SVN - it is asking me to verify if I'm using the latest version of SVN [06:35] I checked if I can access internet but i couldn't. My ISP is BSNL and the model of white box is UT -300R2u. [06:35] bullgard4 that's a question for an #evolution-* channel on irc.gnome.org [06:35] DesiSinger: svn is subversion, a version control system most commonly used by programmers to track versions of source code [06:35] DesiSinger subversion [06:35] Thanks [06:35] it works !! [06:35] DesiSinger, itS' possible the name is different. Read ffmpeg document for ./configure paranters and check if x264 may have a different parameter name [06:36] bullgard4, there must be some logic to having those two database file - maybe one is a partial data-set (summary) while the other is a more detailed one - might have something to do with speed and efficiency [06:36] linux it's de la beuhbon [06:36] woody86 bookmarks->manage->import/export [06:37] Uplink, thanks! [06:37] nickrud I tried importing them to FF and Opera, but it won't work? [06:37] is there a way that I can just be admin for like 15 min? [06:37] woody86 if they won't go into either, then there's probably something wrong with the file itself [06:37] sudo I mean [06:38] I need to learn more i know, but I can't even edit a file [06:38] jyoseph: if you want, you can use 'sudo su' and that logs you in as root on that terminal [06:38] Jaseem: I assume you are / can use DHCP (the address for your computer is auto assigned by the router [white box]). although you could check your network settings under xp then boot back into linux, go to the network settings I told you about, unlock and select wired connection. then enter the same info. if your xp box is using dhcp, then you should be able to select dhcp on your linux box and it work. are you tryi [06:38] ng to use both the usb and the rj45 at the same time? maybe your isp does not allow more than one system to use the whitebox directly at the same time. [06:38] WAlloO -- ran ./configure --help -- the parameter name is correct [06:38] jyoseph: then type 'exit' when you are done [06:38] Jaseem, how have you connected upto the UT300RU? what kind of cable? usb or ethernet? [06:38] nickrud, is there anyway to check the file, or any way to get the info? I read the file and it says: Opera Hotlist version 2.0 Options: encoding = utf8, version=3 #FOLDER ID=17 NAME=Trash CREATED=1214850899 ACTIVE=YES TRASH FOLDER=YES UNIQUEID=4E1601F6F30511DB9CA51FD19A7AAECA - [06:38] erg, sudo -i please, safer for people who aren't familiar with what happens with su or su - [06:39] Fryguy-- and that will let me double click on a file, open it, make changes and save it? [06:39] unop: Might be but if so then in a more subtle way. Because I cannot import a new addressbook addressbook.db by hand unless I delete adressbook.sb.summary. Otherwise the import reults in an concatenation. [06:39] DesiSinger, sudo apt-get install libx264-dev [06:39] woody86 I don't know a thing about opera, I've not used it in years [06:39] jyoseph: no, it will only make you root in the terminal that you type it in. === Guest97135 is now known as mike_ [06:39] ok [06:39] bullgard4, hmm, weird - guess we have novell to blame for that bad design then [06:39] nickrud, hmm allrighty. thanks anywho. === mike_ is now known as Guest6318 [06:40] Unop : The white box is connected to computer using a usb and another wire and it is probably RJ45 [06:40] in ubuntu 7.04 I found a script that would let me "open as root" [06:40] that was so handy [06:40] woody86 try #opera on irc.opera.org , they probably know that file format [06:40] Jaseem: you only need one of those wires, not both (and you should use the rj45) [06:40] unop: I tend to believe that this a security measure. But so far I have no idea in what way. [06:40] nickrud, ok ill give it a try, thx. [06:40] woody86 that's irc.opera.com , sorry [06:41] Jaseem: you are using both cables? did you use both before installing linux (dual boot)? [06:41] Jaseem, well, you don't really need the USB cable -- the RJ45 ethernet cable should suffice [06:41] nickrud, np thx again. [06:41] bullgard4, hmm, i wonder what kind of security you would gain by that? [06:41] how can i do to extract a device , i mean umount this and after , shutdown energy of device, something like a rmmod uhci_hcd, but just especific one not all [06:42] xuniv_: what device [06:42] usb [06:42] WalloO -- that did the magic -- let me continue further [06:42] I've spent 3 hours trying to change my screen resolution, not a great start for me [06:42] *sigh* [06:42] xuniv_: what specifically [06:42] !xres [06:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about xres [06:42] jyoseph: what driver are you using [06:42] unop: So that a normal import of addresses would not destroy your old address inventory.

[06:44] bullgard4, might be [06:44] whabo: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+compile+kernel&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [06:44] ubottu unop i haven't seen that wiki, thank you I'll give that a go [06:44] jyoseph: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:45] avis, try mounting your floppy with this command. sudo mount /dev/fd0 # and trying what you were doing again [06:45] kholerabbi, never heard of mid edition. if you'd like help on this channel you should install regular hardy heron from ubuntu.com though [06:45] thank you unop [06:45] ive gone ahead and gotten all the screenlets set up just as i want them to always be..... is there some way i can make sure that when my comp restarts; i get them all back as expected? [06:46] http://pastebin.com/d2d124924 [06:46] hey i have a question has anyone here gotten Lifecam vx6000 working under ubuntu? [06:46] hello everybody,my firefox is behaving awkwardly on this new installation (ubuntu hardy heron),its not even keeping history of sites visited ,cant add exception for a site , firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 3.0, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2008 mozilla.org [06:46] jyoseph: you don't have the right nvidia driver installed, you should be using nvidia, not nv. Enable restricted drivers manager and install it [06:46] Fryguy--, don't knwo if you're still around helping but after doing all that stuff you talked me through earlier trying to get my master drive to automount on boot while running ubuntu on a seperate slave [06:46] avis: mid (mobile internet device) - see the banner on the main ubuntu.com page. I was simply wondering whether I could run it on on a laptop or virtually to play with it.. [06:47] rand3sk: i am [06:47] ahh ok [06:47] issue still occurs [06:47] no change [06:47] basically [06:47] fryguy:yes but the problem is when my phone, the flash memory , if i unplug it, my phone is kept locked,not released [06:47] sorry kholerabbi. there used to be alot of different ubuntu edition thats were non-official. i'm not sure myself === sharp_ is now known as sharp [06:47] xuniv_: so unmount first [06:47] xuniv_: like i said [06:48] Fryguy-- ok thanks, it's calling for another restart so I'll be back [06:48] so I did [06:48] avis: ;) fair enough. I'd like to find out more about it when I have the time.. wonder if it works on mobile phones? [06:48] unop, there is no floppy mounting within nautilus anymore ? the manual mount seems to work [06:48] kholerabbi, i wish i could help you but i'm clueless [06:49] help; one of my screenlets froze up.;.;;; how do i kill it? [06:49] this looks more like ubuntu issue than firefox issue as uninstalling and installing firefox gave me nothing :( [06:49] avis, nautilus ought to be able to mount floppies - i'm not sure why it won't [06:50] unop: [Housekeeping] According to Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard /usr/src/ contains the "Source code (e.g. the kernel source code with its header files)." With me, this directory includes the directory 'Documentation'. Okay. But why there is another identical large 'Documentation' in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/ as well? [06:50] Fryguy: after i must to do a rmmod uhci_hcd [06:50] !pastebin [06:50] 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) [06:50] xuniv_: that's definetely not the right way to be doing things [06:50] bonjour [06:50] man, the pastebin service is genius. [06:50] xuniv_: I have no idea what your phone is doing when you plug it in to make umount not provide the correct behavior. sorry [06:51] rand3sk: so what does your fstab look like now (btw, you don't need to restart to make this work yet) [06:51] unop: so should I disconnect USB? [06:51] Jaseem: yes [06:51] heh, k cuz i did that earlier and ended up with huge network issues (that turned out to be accidentally having pressed the standby button the modem) [06:51] I don't have any documentation for the white box, [06:52] :P [06:52] im gonna show you my fstab and fdisk -l [06:52] rand3sk: don't need fdisk anybody, just fstab [06:52] anymore* (wow that's a bad typo, it's 2 in the morning here :() [06:52] Jaseem, well, it doesn't make a difference whether or not you have it connected -- but it might make your router behave differently and expect to be connected to via the rj45 cable [06:52] what was the path of it again? [06:52] rand3sk: /etc/fstab [06:52] sudo gedit /???/fstab ? [06:52] k cool [06:52] Let me check if I can connect to internet disconnecting USB [06:52] rand3sk: /etc holds all (most) of the global configuration information for your system [06:53] Jaseem, what you will probably need to do is. sudo dhclient eth0 # substitute the name of your interface here === SNuxoll_ is now known as SNuxoll [06:53] WalloO --- sudo make -- finished but lots of 'deprecated' warning flew during the make [06:53] it was today that *buntu 8.04.1 would be released? [06:53] unop: heh, we should probably have him ifconfig first to make sure he HAS en eth0 [06:54] Fryguy--, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24639/ [06:54] DesiSinger: that doesn't matter, as long as it finishes without an error it's fine [06:54] Name of interface? [06:54] rand3sk: and you made /media/master like i said, right? [06:54] unop: see :) [06:54] Jaseem, see what Fryguy-- just said [06:54] Jaseem: forget that for now, we'll get there [06:54] i know that i tried by trying to follow commands you told me [06:54] how would i know for sure if i did it correctly [06:55] Fryguy: yes I umount this ,first. but my phone does not the beep as an indication of release... [06:55] unop: this is a person that connected both usb and rj45 to a router, we are gonna have to handhold him a bit [06:55] I must shutdown the energy of device [06:55] Fryguy or WalloO : but while running the following -- sudo checkinstall -D make install ---- got error stating that --- checkinstall command not found [06:55] rand3sk: wait, this isn't what I told you to type, I hope [06:55] DesiSinger, don't pay attention to compilation warning. If there is no error, it'S ok [06:55] DesiSinger: checkinstall is a slackware convention, it's not used in ubuntu === SNuxoll_ is now known as SNuxoll [06:56] SHould Yup, you are right Fryguy. I am technically really backward. But i am learning quickly (I am a school boy). Ok, what should I do then? [06:56] hmmmm [06:56] DesiSinger, sudo apt-get install checkinstall [06:57] Fryguy-- Re enabled the driver, rebooted and here is the new xorg.conf - http://pastebin.com/m69ead3c1 [06:57] rand3sk: BLAH my mistake, get rid of the word auto [06:57] np [06:57] and the differences http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?diff=m69ead3c1 [06:57] jyoseph: what does your X11 look like right now? [06:57] Jaseem, what does this command give you? copy and paste it if you can. ifconfig -a | perl -nle 'print $1 if /^(\S+)/' [06:57] Fryguy--, removed & saved [06:57] Fryguy-- sorry, what do you mean by what does it look like [06:58] jyoseph: err, that's still the same. change "driver "nv"" to "driver "nvidia" about 2/3 down [06:58] jyoseph: and restart X [06:58] rand3sk: now open up a terminal and type "sudo mount /dev/sda1" [06:58] I may have to restart to ubuntu unop. [06:58] Jaseem, why ever so? [06:59] rand3sk: and after that, "ls /media/master" (or look in places menu and see if it pops up) [06:59] I am using linux and xp in same computer. [06:59] mount: unknown filesystem type 'defaults' [06:59] Jaseem, ok, what are you booted into now? [06:59] Xp. [06:59] i got that on sudo mount /dev/sda1 [06:59] rand3sk: grr :( [06:59] why does ity give me a grub error 17 when i start up? i just6 installed like 30 minutes ago and nothing i can do can fix it [06:59] i'm certain i installed ntfs3g from synaptic package manager too [07:00] i use unison to sync files back & forth between my laptop & desktop (both running hardy).... recently though i've been having errors with connecting. it attempts syncs over ssh... and so the laptops tries to login but according to the log: Permission denied (publickey,password). .... how can i fix this? [07:00] didnt do anything other than that to it though so could be my bad again [07:00] Can you repeat what I should do after booting into ubuntu, unop? [07:00] rand3sk: make the line read /dev/sda1 /media/master ntfs defaults 0 0 (sorry for messing this up so badly, it's hard to dictate fstab lines) [07:00] arooni: change your password so it matches up.. [07:00] why does ity give me a grub error 17 when i start up? i just6 installed like 30 minutes ago and nothing i can do can fix it [07:00] anyone here use xubuntu ? [07:00] all good man, you're sitting here helping multiple ppl at once.. i understand. i apprecate what you're doing anyway [07:00] Jaseem, right -- well, make sure your usb cable is unplugged and the rj45 cable plugged in properly -- when you boot up ubuntu, run this command. ifconfig - to look for network interfaces that might have IP addresses set, if so, you probably can connect to the internet already [07:01] batcoder-7: go to #xubuntu [07:01] Jaseem, ifconfig -a # that is [07:01] Fryguy--, but when i do: ssh chasetoys@foo.dyndns.org .... it doesnt ask me for a password at all (using key based auth) [07:01] jonT: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 [07:01] hi all, does anyone know how to set a crossover to a subwoofer in pulseaudio? [07:01] Fryguy--, okay i made that change [07:02] rand3sk: run that mount command again [07:02] arooni: and does the public key on the remote machine still match up with your private key? [07:02] "ifconfig -a #that is" is it what i should type? [07:02] rand3sk: "sudo mount /dev/sda1" [07:02] Jaseem: just type ifconfig -a [07:02] ziroday ive seen that and i did that and it still says grub error 17 [07:02] Fryguy--, i'm not sure? [07:02] Ok. [07:02] I will be right back. [07:02] jonT, grub is trying to find a boot image on the wrong partition - quite possibly your windows partition / or some other filesystem that isn't linux [07:02] arooni: it's pretty important to make key-based authentication work :) [07:03] how can i know which wireless driver i'm i using? [07:03] Kirbuchi: lsmod should tell you [07:03] Fryguy--, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24641/ [07:03] Fryguy--, well what i'm saying is that when i run: ssh chasetoys@foo.dynds.org (which resolves to remote machine)..... it works flawlessly (doesnt ask for password) but when unison does it; it gets shut down [07:03] this channel is really really really scary [07:03] this channel rules [07:03] plz dont attack me [07:03] these helpers are gods [07:03] roswarrior: na its just busy, ask away [07:03] rand3sk: mmk, i need the fdisk again :) [07:04] i love windows [07:04] i like xp alright [07:04] specially Vista x64 [07:04] unop: so basically i need to put my ubuntu partion on none? cause it did install the boot loader to my windows partion [07:04] !grub | jonT [07:04] jonT: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:04] f vista [07:04] Fryguy--:thanks [07:04] arooni: not familiar with unison (except it's a wrapper for rsync) so i can't give you any specific advice [07:04] roswarrior: do you have an issue if not in #ubuntu-offtopic please [07:04] For some reason, aptitude is saying that "transmission" is unused and therefor scheduled to be removed, every time I'm installing something. But .. it's really not unused. How can I fix this? [07:04] ok [07:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24642/ [07:04] Fryguy--, [07:04] CroX: sudo aptitude install transmission [07:05] Fryguy--, how do i use the ssh:// protocol to include username? [07:05] Does anyone know why Ubuntu wouldn't boot properly , as in the LiveCD or install? It takes me to "BusyBox" or something and then starts to give errors. [07:05] jonT this ought to help you - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [07:05] Ziroday: I need a newer version of Transmission, so I have installed their own deb packages. Therefor I can't use the repository. [07:05] arooni: probably something like ssh://user@address [07:05] Ziroday: And transmission IS installed already. It's just that Ubuntu seems bent on suggesting to remove it all the time. [07:05] rand3sk: what is this first hard drive? Why is there so much weirdness on it [07:06] unop: even if im on the live cd? [07:06] i'm not sure? [07:06] WalloO -- I get an error while running the following -- gedit "~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Ipod Video 4:3" [07:06] jonT, you need to be on the live CD [07:06] if its the big (160gb) one, its my master that has windows xp on it [07:06] Fryguy--, but when i run unison via command line it works just ifne [07:06] CroX: ah this is because ubuntu thinks you dont need it, cause you installed the .deb file (a reason to just stay with the repos) [07:06] rand3sk: well, where did the disk come from/ you obviously didn't buy it from the store like that :) === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [07:06] Error is : cannot open display: [07:06] haha no ive had it around for a long time lol [07:06] unop: thank you if i have anymore problems can i ask you ?:D [07:06] CroX, have aptitude remove transmission - then install is again using the .debs you downloaded [07:06] not sure what all has been done to it [07:06] 32,000 fps in GLXgears [07:06] un 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options. [07:06] jonT, sure [07:07] these 4870 cards are good [07:07] ive tried multiple dualboots while using it so i dunno.. somehow ive always kept my windows xp install and all of my media safe on it [07:07] unop: I did that before too. Does that mean I have to reinstall transmission everytime I want to install anything? o_O [07:07] DesiSinger, which error? [07:07] cannot open display [07:07] have you tried deluge client? i find it better then transmission [07:07] CroX, certainly not. maybe this helps. aptitude why-not transmission [07:07] deluge is similar to utorrent [07:08] rand3sk: i'm curious about the novell netware 386 partition lol :) For the time being put a # at the beginning of your fstab line (cuz it's gonna give you grief when you boot), and figure out what is up with this first hard drive and how to get ntfs to mount cleanly, because I don't know what is up with it and have any specific advice on fixing it [07:08] xsmatt81: Yeah, I've tried deluge and it was quite alright. But also quite buggy - even the latter versions. [07:08] * Fryguy-- casually recommends rtorrent [07:08] I had to come over here on my Mac because the rebooting in 800x600 was proving to be too challenging [07:08] there is something wrong with my bluetooth, it shows old devices, like it wont refresh, and it wont connect to my phone [07:08] <[Relic]> Hello :) [07:09] jyoseph: what's up now [07:09] I hit Control Alt Backspace, takes me to a configuration. Every time I select my hardware and hit test I get a screen with black and white [07:09] WalloO : error is -- cannot open display [07:09] DesiSinger: change gedit to nanao [07:09] err nano [07:09] WalloO -- run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options. [07:09] Fryguy--, : since i know windows xp is running atleast half decently on one of the weird partitions on it, could i not just try replacing /dev/sda1 with /dev/sda2 or sd3 until i get one that actually boots windows ? [07:09] jyoseph: i have no idea why it's prompting your for configuration when you do that [07:09] there is something wrong with my bluetooth, it shows old devices, like it wont refresh, and it wont connect to my phone [07:09] if I cancel out I'm stuck with the 800x600 [07:09] DesiSinger, replace sudo with gksudo [07:09] DesiSinger, are you trying to run gedit as root (via sudo) ?? [07:10] rand3sk: wait, "boots windows" ?? [07:10] !repeat | CommonClone [07:10] CommonClone: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait.

Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [07:10] unop -- yes [07:10] lol not necessarily boot windows, but get the ntfs portion recognized [07:10] DesiSinger, you need to do what WalloO just recommended [07:10] What is the difference between "Free" and "Available" in the System Monitor's disk space panel? I noticed df doesn't show this "Free" column but only the "Available" value. [07:10] this is actually quite humorous let me send a screenshot, 1 sec [07:10] cool -- thanks [07:11] DesiSinger, sudo does not setup the environment needed for GUI apps -- which is why gksu was written [07:11] rand3sk: if you have windows on that machine, i'd suggest booting to it and finding out what this hard drive looks like from a windows perspective and cleaning it up if necessary. If you can get access to the data I'd suggest making a backup and partitioning the drive correctly, cuz it looks like the partitioning is really screwy and I don't want to give you any recommendations for fear of causing data loss [07:12] ontolog, available is your total disk space, while free would be your remaining [07:12] thats the thing.. i messed up the mbr by mistake [07:12] so i can't.. i needed to install ubuntu on a slave drive, and try to dualboot from the bootloader it installs [07:12] but no such luck.. only recognizing the slave so far [07:12] Ontolog: the linux kernel uses a large amount of "unused" memory for things like disk caching. [07:12] Ontolog: blah nevermind i totally killed that question :( [07:12] when i try to boot from master, i just get "PRESS CTRL ALT DEL" [07:12] it's so late over here :( [07:12] you're a trooper [07:12] :) [07:13] only 2:13am here [07:13] rand3sk: well when was the last time the disk worked [07:13] rand3sk: same here as well [07:13] luckily i've got the rest of the week off from work (and monday too) [07:13] so i can take it easy and not worry about computers/programming for a while [07:13] I thought Size was the total disk space [07:13] i use unison to sync files back & forth between my laptop & desktop (both running hardy).... recently though i've been having errors with connecting. it attempts syncs over ssh... and so the laptops tries to login but according to the log: Permission denied (publickey,password). .... but when i run the cronjob command from the command line... i dont get this error at all... why would this be? [07:14] last time it worked was when i was still using it with windows xp, using it as my media station for movies & music while i used my laptop beside it [07:14] Ontolog, click on Help -> contents - and navigate to Usage -> Monitoring File Systems -- see what it has to say about free and available [07:14] ok [07:14] <[Relic]> Is there a way to get a logical partition (ext3) to give users read write (same as /home) access on boot?

[07:15] then i messed up my laptop and put a bunch of backup onto the master, installed and booted ubuntu on the laptop and tried to go about putting the backup back onto the laptop, but i have not yet been able to gain access to that drive yet - because in the process, i brilliantly decided to try dualbooting the desktop.. panicked on the first attempt and quit halfway through an install.. killed the mbr [07:15] UnFred: holy shit Help -> Contents -> Nothing happens =( [07:15] <[Relic]> three extra data partitions [07:15] had to boot from a live cd again to get ubuntu installed correctly [07:15] rand3sk: run sudo cfdisk /dev/sda and see if it prompts you to rewrite partition table [07:15] rand3sk: or run gparted and see if you can get it to do the same [07:15] [Relic], just change permission on the mount points [07:15] http://pastebin.com/db26f92c [07:16] WalloO -- does it matter where the file is being saved in the following command -- gedit "~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Ipod Video 4:3" [07:16] FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0: Partition ends after end-of-disk [07:16] shit no [07:16] even dualbooting with knoppix yesterday it mounted automatically [07:16] Ontolog, hmm, not good -- try this, ALT+F2 and type yelp - search for gnome-system-monitor or system monitor -- it should bring up the same help document in the search results [07:16] rand3sk: that's the type of thing i was afraid of.

[07:24] Fryguy--, i know, i know -- even though proponents of raid5 are evangelical about its virtues - i find it to be quite unreliable, and sometimes even ineffecient [07:24] nowadays [07:24] * CITguy08 feels stupid [07:24] thanks [07:24] ottoshmidt: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=Property&Subcategory=147&Description=&Type=&N=2010170147&srchInDesc=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&PropertyCodeValue=521%3A7965 [07:25] Ontolog, well, perhaps :) [07:25] i use unison to sync files back & forth between my laptop & desktop (both running hardy).... recently though i've been having errors with connecting. it attempts syncs over ssh... and so the laptops tries to login but according to the log: Permission denied (publickey,password). .... but when i run the cronjob command from the command line... i dont get this error at all... why would this be? [07:25] thta took me like, 10 seconds, a little effort is helpful [07:25] unop : -- its there forgot to do ls -la [07:25] Fryguy--, ok ;) [07:25] i have installed mpg123 ..how to play song with shell command [07:25] arooni: nobody in here is going to be able to help you out more than the high level general advice i've given you. Try google, or try just walking through the configuration of unison again [07:25] Fryguy--: unop: this has to do with block allocation right? If I have many small files then there will be more wasted disk space basically. Is all that discrepancy having to do with block allocation? [07:25] sravan, man mpg123 [07:25] Fryguy--, ok :( [07:25] sravan: mpg123 read the manpage for more details === Shadow_X is now known as Shadow_X|zZzZz [07:26] Ontolog, perhaps, might also have something to do with superuser reserved blocks [07:26] Fryguy--, i'm not quite sure how to use gparted [07:26] i ahve it open [07:26] Ontolog: probably not. how big is the partition [07:26] unop: shit i didn't even know superuser reserved blocks existed, do have a doc on it? [07:26] Fryguy--: about 18gb [07:26] Ontolog: ext reserves 5% of the partition that you make for system use [07:26] Ontolog: which in your case is pretty much exactly 1gb [07:27] ahhh [07:27] WalloO -- basically in this step I'm opening a editor and pasting the code and saving it -- correct ??? [07:27] I see it's for the journaling yes? [07:27] DesiSinger, yes [07:27] Fryguy--, does it help if i can pretty much confirm all the partitions besides the one showing ntfs in fdisk has anything of use.. all the others are probably uselses [07:27] Ontolog: among other things, yes [07:27] rand3sk: yah [07:27] cool as long as I know where that 1gb is going haha thanks [07:27] Unop: I got a huge list when I entered ifconfig -a. I have wrote it down. [07:27] i'm 99% sure all of my media and the windows install are on the main partition, the huge one. [07:28] rand3sk: disclaimer here, i'm not a data recovery expert, I'm not responsible if (when?) you lose all of your data, don't sue me etc etc etc [07:28] WalloO -- does it have to be as root or it can be done under me as a user ?? and will other users be able to access it or I need to provide links ?? [07:28] rand3sk: i'm 100% sure that's the case [07:28] which sounds better: Product brought to you by (Arooni Labs LLC || Arooni LLC) ? [07:28] I have a few partitions that are encrypted with luks - but as a result I'm getting allot of "modprobe: WARNING: Not loading blacklisted module ipv6" during boot. anybody else know of this issue? [07:28] DesiSinger, not as root. do it as normal user [07:28] rand3sk: i'm also 99% sure your problem has something to do with that small "unknown" partition directly after the ntfs partition [07:28] Ontolog, i'm not sure where you'd find some credible information on it -- but basically, it's a reservation that is necessary when the disk becomes full - the superuser is still capable of creating files and directories that might be necessary to recover the filesystem [07:28] arooni: the latter [07:28] im getting erro using mpg123 and the error: Unable to set up output device! Constraints: 44100, 22050 or 11025Hz. [07:28] can i just delete those partitions and hope for the best? [07:28] DesiSinger, this script is only for you [07:29] Jaseem, ok, well, basically -- all we need is the name of the interfaces -- things like eth0, eth1, ath0, wlan0, etc [07:29] WalloO - thanks [07:29] jyoseph: did you get my reply to your pastebin? [07:29] rand3sk: don't delete the unknown [07:29] unop: ahh I see, this is a feature of ext3? [07:29] rand3sk: delete the other 2, rewrite the partition table and see what happens [07:29] Ontolog: yes [07:29] yes, copied and pasted it, rebooted and I just now checked the screen resolution, same options [07:29] Ontolog, yes, mainly of ext2/ext3 but some other filesystems use it too [07:29] Fryguy--, okay i have no idea how to do that though, sorry if im a pest [07:29] jyoseph: seriously? [07:29] wtf :/ [07:29] It shows eth0, eth1, eth0: avahi and lo [07:30] Fryguy-- yeah :*( [07:30] Jaseem, ok .. do you know what an IP address looks like ?? [07:30] jyoseph: i wish I had my xorg.conf around still I'd just give you mine [07:30] Anyone know if luks is the cause of this "modprobe: WARNING: Not loading blacklisted module ipv6" issue? [07:30] Yup 255.255.0.0. like that, right? === arashO|o is now known as arashO|away [07:30] unop: pretty sure we can assume he's using eth1, since eth0: avahi suggests it's the usb interface that he had before [07:31] Fryguy--: that'd be awesome [07:31] Jaseem, yea, basically -- which one of eth0 or eth1 has an ip address set? if they both do, list them both [07:31] jyoseph: i don't have it anymore though [07:31] jyoseph: run this again sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [07:32] Fryguy--, the avahi interface isn't a real physical interface, it's a virtual one - something to do with the avahi daemon -- but it could be the real eth0 too, let's see [07:32] Fryguy--: ok, thanks... 1 sec [07:32] Fryguy--, when i open gparted, it just shows that big disk as "unallocated".. should i "set new disk label" as it seems to be the only option available to me ? [07:32] the list near eth0 and eth1 isn't showing any ip address [07:32] unop: avahi handles hotswapping for usb and stuff, which is why i'm making an inference that since it's tied to eth0, that is the usb interface that he had before [07:32] Lounge, i shoudn't think so [07:32] rand3sk: NO [07:33] rand3sk: gparted doesn't show any partitions on that disk? [07:33] on.. just says "unallocated [07:33] rand3sk: you are probably hosed [07:33] WalloO - could you please provide me the link to your article again [07:33] bah [07:33] but eth0:avahi is showing ip address [07:33] inet addr:169.254.6.150 [07:33] there must be way to retreive that data [07:33] rand3sk: if knoppix was working whatever, try that again, if you can get this disk mounted somehow, anyhow, make a backup [07:34] is that what you want unop? [07:34] question: if a ubuntu package download server is in china (e.g. mirrors.shlug.org), is it possible that the chinese govt modifies the packages i download? [07:34] rand3sk: sure, if you got a few thousand dollars and want to ship it off to data recovery specialists :) [07:34] lol [07:34] unop: Hmmm then I wonder why the system logs keep giving me that warning [07:34] Fryguy--: ok , looks like it wrote over the xorg.conf file [07:34] DesiSinger, http://computersstoneage.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-convert-your-video-to-work-on.html [07:34] yao_ziyuan: packages are checked after they are downloaded to ensure checksums match [07:34] Jaseem, well, yes and no -- basically, you haven't got a valid ip address on any of those interfaces -- try this. sudo dhclient eth1 [07:34] jyoseph: good, probably [07:34] now that i think about it.. i only imagined the knoppix thing.. trying to boot knoppix yesterday wouldn't even work.. i have a corrupt disk [07:35] Fryguy--: but what if the checksums themselves are modified too? [07:35] Fryguy--: yeah [07:35] Lounge, you probably disabled ipv6 to improve your connection's performance in the past [07:35] Fryguy--: i mean, the package server is in china [07:35] yao_ziyuan: then the chinese government has cracked fundamental security, and bad bad things happen in the world the next day [07:35] I have to restart again Unop. [07:35] Fryguy-- still the same resolutions but neater looking file and a base to start with [07:35] jyoseph: paste that i guess [07:35] Jaseem, ok [07:35] WalloO - 'Scripts' does not show upon right clicking on a video file ? [07:36] <_Andrew> yao_ziyuan: System -> Admin -> Software Sources -> Authentication tab should show you who your allowing to install packages on your system [07:36] what will sudo dhclient eth1 do? [07:36] Will i have anything to write down? [07:36] Jaseem: run it, and then go to a website and it'll probably work [07:36] hello to anyone out there [07:36] Jaseem, you do know, that you can save files to your windows partition, incase you need to copy and paste data - that could help us help you [07:36] hello [07:36] unop: well I only know that ipv6 is blacklisted in "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" but I'm not so sure that loading that module [07:36] anyone in here good with data recovery ? [07:36] is there any good linux based replacement for live messenger [07:36] Jaseem, it's what gets your network interface to tell the router to give it an ip address [07:37] i have a strong hunch that this isn't the end [07:37] how do you make an account on your computer? [07:37] "make a user" [07:37] from the command line [07:37] foibles: adduser [07:37] i need to look up licenses for a bunch of software (mysql, linux etc)... whats the fastest way of doing this? [07:37] rand3sk: hit up google. I'm pretty sure nobody in here is going to be able to offer you advice beyond what i've given you [07:37] powertool08: ah! [07:37] I will be back. [07:37] ok [07:37] foibles: it's either adduser or useradd (varies from system to system, i forget what ubuntu uses) [07:37] foibles, man useradd [07:37] can anyone help me [07:37] DesiSinger, did you set the script executable? [07:37] _Andrew: so it doesn't depend on who sends you the packages? [07:37] Fryguy--, both [07:37] LinuxID10T, as just a messaging client Pidgin works, if you're looking for video conferencing I believe Kopete is your best shot. [07:38] <_Andrew> yao_ziyuan: As long as they're signed by ubuntu [07:38] Pidgen works with windows live messenger? [07:38] Fryguy--, on a parting thought, do you by chance know what exactly setting a new disklabel to an unallocated drive via gparted would do ? [07:38] ?? [07:38] WalloO - yes with 700 (rwx------) [07:38] LinuxID10T, yes [07:38] I am using pidgen right now [07:38] foibles: I think adduser is best, it asks step by step which shell, home directory, real name, etc [07:38] LinuxID10T, pidgin* [07:38] <_Andrew> yao_ziyuan: If you downloaded something not by ubuntu then it would show you a warning about it [07:38] rand3sk: overwrite any partition information on the drive and make it impossible to do data recovery without professionals [07:38] _Andrew: good [07:38] linuxid10t: and yes it works as a msn client [07:39] LinuxID10T, Accounts - Manage - Add - Protocol = MSN [07:39] when my laptop display goes to sleep, it still seems "lighted up". is it the "dim display when idle" that should make it _really_ sleep? [07:39] also I running linux mint 5 === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [07:39] DesiSinger, I don't know why it doesn't appear [07:39] Fryguy--, even if the prompt says "a disk label is a piece of data, stored at a known place on the disk, that indicates where each partition begins and how many sectors it occupies. You need a disklabel if you want to create partitions on this disk" [07:39] DesiSinger, maybe login and logout just to check [07:40] rand3sk: maybe i am wrong. I'm not sure [07:40] WalloO - alright - let me do that - i'll be back [07:40] ok actually my mistake yes i don;t ipv6 to load as it is a big slowdown on the network [07:40] How do you remove GRUB? Not write over it, remove it. [07:40] don't want* [07:40] actually you were right.. i tried to do it and it said "continuing operation will erase all data on /dev/sda1 [07:40] soooo darn [07:40] thanks i did not know that i could use pidgin for windows live [07:40] Tea4all: writing over it does remove it [07:41] dont even know what to google [07:41] Tea4all: Why would you want to remove it? [07:41] rand3sk: try joining #linux and asking in there [07:41] I have 2 MBRs. [07:41] Only need one.:'( [07:42] Tea4all: how did this happen? [07:42] Tea4all: you can only have 1 MBR per hard drive [07:42] Installed Ubuntu on 2 drives. [07:42] Removed from one. [07:42] my start key doesnt really work :( [07:42] Tea4all: leaving a MBR on a drive that you don't boot from won't do anything [07:43] My computer is trying to boot from it anyway. [07:43] how is your bios set [07:43] Tea4all: so change your computer config to boot correctly [07:43] WalloO -- logout/login did the trick --- considering I only have 1 cpu -- how long is the conversion process ? -- just curious [07:43] i have a question about encrypted swap with luks - in the /etc/crypttab, the swap's is set to /dev/random but i'm wondering... [07:43] Can't. [07:43] is it possible to find out the password of a user if you have root access? [07:43] why not [07:43] Tea4all, in fact, having GRUB on your slave/storage drive could be useful in the event your master/root drive fails. [07:43] shoudl I set it /dev/urandom instead? [07:43] foibles: no [07:43] foibles: i forgot my password [07:43] Only can set as "Hard Drive". [07:44] foibles: just change it [07:44] foibles: you can change it as root user, but you can't find out what it's currently set to [07:44] foibles: # passwd [07:44] DesiSinger, it depends on you CPU speed. But I don't really know [07:44] powertool08: ah, thats right [07:44] the reason I ask is because during but - I still need to type keys to generate entropy to get it going [07:44] Ubuntu I want is on a slave drive. [07:44] durring boot* [07:44] Tea4all, look for another setting where you change the preferred order of hard drives. [07:44] powertool08: thanks [07:44] np [07:44] Tea4all: you can select the hard drive to boot off of. [07:44] in the bios [07:44] Why are not OOo dictionarys available as packages in Ubuntu? DicOOo is a pain imho. Is it a licensing issue? [07:44] Lounge: /dev/random needs a datasource to create random data from [07:44] Only from a boot menu [07:44] When my laptop goes to sleep, the display goes black but is still powered/lighted. How can I make _really_ sleep? [07:45] Unop:can you repeat the command? [07:45] go into the bios [07:45] not the boot menu [07:45] hi guys [07:45] i need some help [07:45] psycho: so ask a question [07:45] try delete f2 or f10 [07:45] I tried. My BIOS is CRAPPY. [07:45] those are most common [07:45] Jaseem, sudo dhclient eth1 [07:45] The button is delete. [07:45] i am using ubuntu 8.04 server edition as a router [07:45] what bios do you have [07:45] reading that wiki top to bottom, I don't sleep till i fix this [07:45] Tea4all: crappy doesn't mean "can't set what hd to boot from" [07:45] Tea4all: I've never seen a bios where you can't change boot priority [07:46] WalloO -- we are still not done yet - I get one splash screen for a second and it closes itself -- when I try to run the script on one of the video file [07:46] k [07:46] Tea4all: any bios made in the past 20 years supports it. It's a fundamental feature of the x86 bootstrapping process [07:46] WalloO - the journey continues... [07:46] everything works fine except that i cann't create new hotmail passport account [07:46] Fryguy--: agreed but during boot, i have to press keys or something that's i/o relative to get it to continue - is it because there no randomness in the pool? [07:46] Lounge: right [07:46] It's a 64 bit. Will try harder though. [07:46] Bye. [07:46] if your computer is older than 20 years old you cant run ubuntu:-) [07:46] i switched back to my old 2.4.34 kernel ipcop and only using it as a router everything works fine [07:47] what is the state of ati/compiz? i know it works just fine with the binary driver, but are there any caveats or performance issues? relevant links? [07:47] so if i was to set it to "urandom" would I still need to press keys? [07:47] although am using the same setup [07:47] whats the problem ? [07:47] Lounge: if you use /dev/urandom it'll continue to generate data, even if it isn't random I believe (I might have the devices backwards) [07:47] DesiSinger, have you installed zenity? [07:47] 2.4 that is ancient [07:47] Lounge: I'm a little fuzzy on the details of it [07:47] LinuxID10T: don't make me feel dated :( I started using linux back on the 2.0 kernels :( [07:47] hack [07:47] WalloO -- when i ran -- apt-get install zenity --- it said that I already have the newest version of it [07:48] Fryguy--: what do u guess the problem would be ? [07:48] ok. [07:48] can someone hack ubuntu? [07:48] psycho: no idea [07:48] roswarrior: sure [07:48] lol [07:48] Fryguy--: i just think that having to not only type more passphrases in the middle of boot as well as press random keys is kind of a drag... [07:48] DesiSinger, try to execute it from commandline to see errors [07:48] roswarrior: define "hack" [07:48] lmao [07:48] Lounge: security often comes at the cost of convenience [07:48] WalloO - execute the script ? [07:49] roswarrior is actually bill gates trolling [07:49] DesiSinger, in scripts, #!/bin/bash must be at the first line [07:49] he's bored now [07:49] DesiSinger, yes [07:49] Haha [07:49] can you hack a forgotten login password ? like you can with, Ophcrack Livecd [07:49] Why are not the OOo dictionarys available as packages in Ubuntu and installed automatically along with the rest of the system language packages? licensing? [07:50] i did however install the "randomsound" daemon which really gets the /dev/random moving pretty good, however - that daemon gets started *after* the early crypt drive(s) [07:50] roswarrior: that is cracking not hacking [07:50] roswarrior: you can brute force a login password if you want. Or if you have a rainbow table of md5sums you can try using a lookup for that [07:50] WalloO - how would I pass the input video file via command line to the script ? [07:50] roswarrior: just like any other *nix [07:50] have you forgotten your password? [07:50] roswarrior, start fro a CD, then edit /etc/shadow and remove password [07:50] you can log in in single user mode [07:51] wonder if theres a way to get the daemon to start before the eary crypt seq..? [07:51] Anyone know where in the kernel configuration I could disable CPU temperature monitoring? I just got a new Puma based tablet, and with monitoring on as soon as the kernel loads it claims the CPU is critically heated and shuts the computer off. [07:51] maybe the computer is hot [07:51] DesiSinger, maybe use scriptname VideoFilePath [07:51] that is not even cracking, it's called "booting in safe mode" in Ubuntu, "using the root account" in other *NIces [07:51] Varak_: computers don't heat up instantly, i'm sure it's a bad reading on the sensor. [07:51] resque mode* that is [07:51] Varak_, It's not. [07:52] i was being a dick [07:52] or whatever Ubuntu calls that, I can't remember right now [07:52] Ah, accomplished :) [07:52] sorry [07:52] MGrunde: take a look at lm-sensors, it's documentation should get you started towards finding out how to configure it, or at least identify modules it uses so you can remove them [07:52] :) [07:52] lol-mode [07:52] so we're saying tht ubuntu login is not so strong? [07:52] Fryguy--, Thank you, time to RTFM [07:53] Lounge: no, we're saying it's as strong as you make it [07:53] Lounge: the ubuntu login process is just like any other linux login process (not quite the same as BSD since bsd you can set securelevel) [07:53] if you do nothing particular, yes, it's not strong at all [07:53] SlimG, the dictionary packages ARE available as ubuntu packages. their names start with openoffice.org-i10n [07:53] When I try to change my wifi to something else my entire system freezes is tyhere a commandline way of doing it? [07:53] how can i make screenlets start up on system start [07:53] MGrunde: sorry I couldnt' give you specifics, but i can at least point you towards the right manual to RTF out of [07:53] WalloO - that does not do much [07:53] MGrunde: Temperature sensors does not commonly lie, maby the fan is not running (for some reason), then the cpu will become hot very quickly and Linux will shut down before the heat reaches too much of the surrounding computer [07:53] sutab1, which kind of wireless card are you using? [07:54] ok I'm going to give this a run, what do you think Fryguy--: http://pastebin.com/d74922115 [07:54] haha well - ok i'm reboot with teh luks swap using the "urandom" as see if that makes the boot and faster [07:54] SlimG, From the lm-sensors webpage "Note: most recent K8 models have been reported to have broken thermal sensors so the k8temp driver will return bogus values and there's nothing we can do." [07:54] jyoseph: you are missing device settings [07:54] oop, glad I pasted that then [07:55] DesiSinger, what error is reported? [07:55] Fryguy--, You've pointed me in the right direction, that's all I ask for :) If I have any more specific questions, I'll be sure to ask. [07:55] MGrunde: thing is, it's absolutely not certain that lm-sensors is the problem, do you have it installed at all ? [07:55] WalloO - no error [07:55] nothing? [07:55] WalloO - just back to the prompt [07:55] MGrunde: Hmm... Maby it is possible to flash the BIOS with a newer one that somehow fixes the issue? [07:55] jyoseph: http://pastebin.com/m4da1f293 [07:56] Unop:I am back. I got some thing from the command I run. [07:56] DesiSinger, I really don't know what to say [07:56] how come i cant boot the previous kernel (after an update) [07:56] everything is completly broken [07:56] I don't know it that is what you want. === arooni_____ is now known as arooni [07:56] i get spammed by error messages [07:56] just booting up [07:56] roswarrior: "everything is broken" doesn't give us any indication as to what the problem is. provide a specific error message or undesirable behavior [07:56] WalloO -- this is what I had at command prompt ----- ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts$ /home/hemang/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Ipod_video_4by3 /home/hemang/Desktop/21_movie.avi === sean is now known as Guest87041 [07:57] evening gents [07:57] DankTan1: man, you again? :( [07:57] SlimG, I'm using the most current BIOS. It's a HP tx2500z [07:57] yeh :P [07:57] i wasnt bad :P [07:57] plus ai said hello to you [07:57] Jaseem, did you get something like - DHCPACK from 192.168.2.1 - bound to 192.168.1.1 ... ? [07:57] DankTan1: lol not at all [07:57] meanie [07:57] :( [07:57] unop: i'm wondering if he has pppoe :/ [07:57] DesiSinger, heuuu. just one thing. I know sometime I've video which can't be converted. However it works most of the time. Do you have another video to try? [07:57] you give mel like no love [07:57] SlimG, so it is a fairly new model using an extremely new platform, so I'm not surprised there could be bugs in getting a proper reading. [07:58] DankTan1: lol [07:58] i have wire;ess fixed btw [07:58] DankTan1: what you wanna bug us abou tnow [07:58] k setting the key file to /dev/urandom made it boot without having to manually press keys in the middle of bootup [07:58] Yes.

[07:59] well i havfge a rather pressing issie [07:59] k [07:59] security === tsw_ is now known as tsw [07:59] DankTan1: it's pretty fun sometimes too, although people like dolphin_noel ruin that :/ [08:00] some asshole in IRC hacjed into my laptop [08:00] hack!

[08:09] jyoseph: /var/log/X.org.log or something (take a look in /var/log, it'll be obvious which one it is based on the hint i just gave) [08:10] DesiSinger, i don't think so. [08:10] Fryguy -- :-) [08:10] DesiSinger, not good. But I don'T know the reason [08:10] wtf why did my cpu just spiek on my server ... [08:10] * Fryguy-- looks around [08:11] I just dont like having soome bumfukk from IRC that are telling me my passwerds [08:11] Hey there. I have an issue running compiz with an external screen on my HP laptop. I have it running on a docking station, with the lid closed, so it should only run on my external screen. I can see that when I for instance use compiz zoom, only the area larger than my laptop screen resolution is zoomed. Also, when I go to the Screen Resolution option under System -> Preferences, I can see that my laptop screen is displayed "on top" of my external [08:11] oh a torrent finished downloading [08:11] i want thst shit fixed [08:11] ? [08:11] DankTank: identify the cause and fix it [08:11] WalloO - i ran the ffmpeg (plain vanila command) along with your parameters except zenity and I got an error stating that the input file was truncated for corrupted [08:11] i need help, when i try "apt-get -f install" the error i get is "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [08:11] i dunno how to ident t6o cause [08:11] ]it akk just "happenened" [08:12] DesiSinger, try another video file [08:12] WalloO - so i got another file and i'm running on it... plain vanilla ffmpeg and its running at command prompt [08:12] jessica: what are you trying to install [08:12] jessica: and why are you using -f [08:12] HymnToLife, still hit the "critical trip point" with thermals blacklisted, automatically shut off before X even started. [08:12] why doesnt it bring anything up when i do fdisk -l? [08:12] btw im in live cd? [08:12] is is possible to like VNC into an ubuntu box like you do into windows box? That is take over the currently logged in users X [08:13] WalloO but only thing is that it is spitting out buffer underflow messages -- while it keeps running [08:13] because apt is like broken i accsidently deleted the dpkg file i think so ive re-built most of it up and there is a broken package so im trying to fix it via apt-get -f install [08:13] !paste [08:13] 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) [08:13] DesiSinger, i can't help you on that point [08:13] WalloO - normally how big does the mp4 file get [08:13] grom358: there is an X server based on vnc that you can connect to. plenty of tutorials and documentation for setting it up is available via google searches [08:13] hey, how do i set a cron job to run every 3 days at 2 am? [08:13] rtfm [08:13] anybody know any good music players? [08:13] I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERS MAKING HIMSELF A FEMALE FOR EASIER AXX TO HEKP [08:13] grom358: pretty non-trivial to set up since ubuntu hides a lot of that config stuff by default, but the walkthroughs are pretty straightforward [08:13] nah rapid shut your mouth [08:13] MGrunde: well, you need to find out how the system determines the temperature, but if you don't have lm-sensors installed, then it's not it [08:14] you rtfm [08:14] is there a vmware support site i can get a link too please? [08:14] jont: i dont need to. [08:14] MGrunde: just to be sure, do a dpkg -l | grep sensors [08:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24651/ [08:14] i just wanbtr a website [08:14] DesiSinger, !MB/min [08:14] waaahhhhh [08:14] DesiSinger, 1MB/min [08:14] in the logs: (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "2560x1600"; removing [08:14] rapid: well dont even say that unless you have somethign good to say cause that doesnt help anybody [08:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24651/ [08:14] hi there [08:14] rapid: and you know it [08:14] to make sure my OS is fortiofied [08:14] it's locating the monitor, locating the card [08:15] next line says (II) NVIDIA(0): Validate Modes: "1280x800" [08:15] Fryguy: can you give me a name of what its called? [08:15] jont: plain laziness [08:15] but flyguy wont help me:( [08:15] WalloO - i meant is when a conversion is completed - how big is the mp4 if it is being converted from a 700 MB avi ? [08:15] grom358: seriously? [08:15] HymnToLife, libsensors3 is installed [08:15] Is there a reason Pidgin hasn't been released to Hardy? [08:15] grom358: basic google search right here: http://www.google.com/search?q=setting+up+a+vnc+server+in+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [08:15] flyguy needs to get up and back in herr]]\\ [08:15] grom358: second result looks interesting [08:15] grom358: basic effort goes a long way [08:15] would it not be easy to write a program for ubuntu that does this sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh automatic, and an popup that explains the legal issue's just as with mp3 codecs? [08:16] xnv: pidgin has been part of ubuntu repositories for some time now [08:16] where ubuntu save all .deb packages from system update ? [08:16] for easy dvd playback? [08:16] DesiSinger, count 1MB for 1minute of video [08:16] Fryguy--: I'm referring to the recent ICQ fix. [08:16] freguy,,,, i am technically first tinight [08:16] WalloO - oh i get it [08:16] so come one man [08:16] can somebody help me figure out why my fdisk -l command doesnt show anything? [08:16] Fryguy: dude.. reread my question. thats is not what I want todo [08:16] xnv: it got released like, 2 hours ago. Give people a chance to get it into repositories [08:16] Fryguy--: It was released yesterday, actually. [08:16] jont: sudo [08:17] jonT what does mount cammonad say? [08:17] grom358: I'm pretty sure the second link on that search result is EXACTLY what you want to be doing [08:17] rapid: ty [08:17] i want security!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [08:17] xnv: oh my god, stop the presses! it takes more than 24 hours to get an update to a package sometimes [08:17] WalloO - ok... I'll wait till this finishes - its has already passed 50 MB -- hope all time and effort put in does not go down the drain... thanks [08:17] i dont want knothing fgong down here [08:17] Fryguy--: Not complaining so much as wondering what the process is, in case I can help. [08:17] MGrunde: well, anyway, lm-sensors has nothing to do with ACPI that I know of, so if disabling ACPI fixes the problem, the conclusion is obvious [08:17] xnv: you are free to contribute to the packaging process if you feel like it's going too slowly [08:17] unimatrix9: alot of stuff but rapid answered correctly [08:17] Fryguy--: Exactly. [08:18] xnv: there's plenty of documentation for how to contribute to ubuntu on ubuntu's website and in it's wiki [08:18] yes [08:18] FryGuy,,..... ibeg you [08:18] i see [08:18] good luck [08:18] this guy i know is asking me about copying some program that he has the source code for (it's written in assembly) to linux, and i'm wondering if he just compiles it... will it work? [08:18] HymnToLife, Yes, but disabling acpi also breaks my wireless for some reason :\ [08:18] DankTank: stop trying like a retard [08:18] !grub [08:18] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [08:18] Fryguy--: Of course there is. Now what about packaging? [08:18] grndslm: probably not [08:18] does the "#" pound sign comment out a line? [08:18] MGrunde: could you please pastebin your dmesg ? [08:19] Fryguy--: why you say that? [08:19] dumb question I know, but just want to be sure [08:19] alrighty then... fryguy was swayed by the assholes ans is now a cock himself [08:19] # comment out yes [08:19] dmn... il like the guy [08:19] grndslm: have you been paying attention to what danktank has been typing for the past 10 mins or so? It's like he's just mashing the keyboard with his fist [08:20] bullshit fryguy [08:20] calm down guys lol [08:20] these words have meaning [08:20] Fryguy--: from what i gather, he's just copying data from some website and organizing it into some kinda database... seems like that it should compile and run... [08:20] Fryguy--: just hugely drunk, I think [08:20] Fryguy--: kick him! [08:20] grndslm: oh wait sorry got you mixed up [08:20] can somebody help me with grub error 17 [08:20] grndslm: give it a try i guess [08:20] and if you are too fukkin stupid to help,then say so [08:20] grndslm: i wish i could [08:20] simple really [08:21] how do you register a name on an irc server? [08:21] enough [08:21] DankTank: leave the room your ugly [08:21] messiah: use nickserv [08:21] !ops | DankTank is a troll [08:21] how? lol [08:21] meh [08:21] !ping [08:21] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [08:21] !ping [08:21] :p [08:21] lol this is silly [08:21] DankTank: rattlesnake.ath.cx, points to my freebsd server (actually DMZ'd through a router), have fun hacking it if you think I am too stupid to help you [08:21] DankTank, be polite. Only warning. [08:21] messiah: /msg nickserv register [08:21] i was asking for help [08:22] DankTank: i understand nobody in this room will help you [08:22] madpilot... hows about you help then? [08:22] im not asking for much? [08:22] DankTank, with that sort of language? I don't think so. I think you're asking for this... [08:22] lol not asking for much [08:22] okay.. let me reword this. I want to be able to on an ubuntu machine login into a GUI. Then from another machine connect into the exact same GUI session. I am used to using tightvnc and running vncserver. But I never used it for this before. Though I guess I could run a vncviewer fullscreen on like X.org server and do all my work on that. But I am looking for a better solution then that [08:22] DankTank: what do you need help with? [08:22] DankTank: people get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to do security for them. Securing your system is far more than "not much" [08:22] I think he was kicked [08:22] grom358: like i said, those google results have what you need [08:23] grom358: and if they don't, modify the search a bit to focus. Like I said, there's plenty of documentation available for doing that [08:23] can somebody help me with grub error 17? ive asked more then once and i know more then one person in here can help me with it [08:23] seriously google [08:24] jonT: http://www.google.com/search?q=grub+error+17&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [08:24] will help@jonT [08:24] geek_inn2: ? [08:24] i mean google dude [08:25] search [08:25] somewhere in forums [08:25] is pidgin update to 2.4.3 coming any time soon? ICQ doesn't work with current version 2.4.1 [08:25] como: most likely, in Intrepid [08:25] hell previous was 2.4.2 [08:25] geek_inn2: dont even tell me to do that cause ive done it and it says the same thing over and over again and i did what its said plenty of times its starting to make me mad [08:25] HymnToLife, http://pastebin.com/d7dddee39 [08:25] HymnToLife: it's a point release, so hardy will pick it up most likely [08:25] HymnToLife: what's Intrepid? [08:26] give the package managers some time to get it into the system [08:26] como: it's the next release of ubuntu, coming in october [08:26] is there any key binding to minimize all the opened windows just like win+m in windows? [08:26] all the windows at once [08:26] Fryguy--: i have 2 harddrives if you need to know [08:26] abhi_: probably not by default, it's easy to configure compiz to do something like that [08:26] i know about alt+f9 [08:27] Fryguy--: Octorber is not what I would call "soon" [08:27] !icqbug | como [08:27] como: A fix for ICQ within Pidgin is currently underway. Within a few days we should see it moved into the -updates repository. [08:27] Fryguy--, : u just tell me the command i will add that to gconf-editor [08:27] right, which is why i said hardy is going to pick it up since it's a point release, give the package maintainers a chance to package it, the thing JUST came o ut [08:27] ubottu: thanks! [08:27] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [08:28] is asdfasdf [08:28] what exactly went wrong........jhoT [08:29] hi [08:29] ahoi [08:29] hello [08:29] can you help me?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [08:31] I've just installed kubuntu hardy and for some reason I have no sound...

[08:31] hi how i tell my ubuntu 8 to use this git-clone [08:31] MGrunde: hmm, there's nothing about the shutdowns there, and now I'm going to have a nap, I guess you'll have to wait for someone else, or try the forums [08:31] jonT are u lost [08:31] trying to get open sorce intel driver working [08:31] :p [08:31] JdGordon: is the volume up? is it unmuted?

[08:33] how can i make a duplicate of a directory in the same directory? [08:33] jyoseph: Not very long, depends what you're switching from. [08:33] CostaRicanQuaker, bad idea.

Upgrade sucks [08:33] I refuse to reinstall windows, even if I have to use this thing at 800x600 [08:33] i'll by a CRT off ebay [08:33] jyoseph: to answer your second question, I compiled a kernel from scratch the first day I used linux, so.. about 3 hours :) [08:33] geirha, : is it sys-> pref->keyboard shortcut [08:33] jyoseph: Couple of weeks if you keep at it. [08:33] fryguy the intel driver dont want to use one in ubuntu 8 i want to use these git-clone [08:33] there in it [08:33] Fryguy-- ok you don't count :P [08:34] alexlea: you just have to update it [08:34] the open source intel driver [08:34] alexlea: You just run the upgrade package within the system and that will upgrade for you keeping your settings etc [08:34] !resolution | jyoseph [08:34] jyoseph: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [08:34] jyoseph: does your monitor work right in windows? [08:34] alexlea: you can use synaptec manager [08:34] abhi_: that's the one I meant. My menu is localized, so I guessed on the english translation [08:34] yes [08:34] ^ if you want more resolutions, check the last link. === newb is now known as trupheenix [08:34] fryguy see what text posted [08:34] so i don't even have to dl a new iso?

[08:35] negge, I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and I'm encountering problems with the installation [08:35] alexlea: no [08:35] Fryguy--: im running into walls why cant you devote your time to me for a sec please [08:35] !patience | jont [08:35] jont: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [08:36] alexlea: all the updater will notify you when there's a new release available and you just have to click one button and maybe answer a couple of questions [08:36] i'm helping pretty much the entire chatroom, give me a break dude [08:36] Fryguy--: WTF? [08:36] ok fryguy [08:36] Can someone help me to get beryl0.21 to work plz ? [08:36] jonT: I gave you a link to a google search providing you tons of information, ask another question if you have one [08:36] jonT: what's your problem?

Any suggestions please? [08:37] fryguy i dont want to use intel driver in ubuntu i install this git-clone since has the open source intel driver in it how i tell my ubuntu 8 to use them now insted [08:37] ? [08:37] these git-clone [08:37] to open the sources list do i type sudo /etc/apt/sources.list in the terminal? [08:37] jonT: and I gave you a link to a google search with dozens of other people who had similar problems, and the posts contained what i saw many proposed solutions and information for obtaining a solution, the results of that search summarize the information I can give you far better than I can type it into an irc chatroom. Like i said, read that information, if you have more questions, feel free to ask them. [08:38] ray__: i have no idea [08:38] Fryguy--: but none of them are my case [08:38] any one here can help me with my q [08:38] CostaRicanQuaker: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list (or just use the package manager gui to do it) [08:38] ok i want to learn linux, my professor isnt really making any sence, i would like to know how can i set it up and run everything ? [08:38] to make a drive mount i have to click that drive. how can I make the drive to auto mount for a specific user... [08:39] jonT: NONE? i doubt that none of the information there can be used to make an inference to your case. And if it _IS_ the case that none of those apply to you, then we need more information from you than "grub error 17". No matter what, you are asking another question [08:39] abhi can you help me a sec? [08:39] what [08:39] abhi_: to make it mount automatically at system boot, edit /etc/fstab, if you want to do it just for a single user, write a quick shell script to do it and add that script to the users session [08:40] mmm.. after a far amount of guessing what search terms (the answer was vnc server xorg) I found vnc server called x11vnc which is what I was looking for [08:40] Fryguy--: i have two harddrives and none of them state that most of them say they are dual booting or have like 5 harddrives on raid [08:40] what are the repos for dapper? or cani just substitute breezy with dapper adn it will work? [08:40] fok|zz: download ubuntu live cd, burn it to a disc, boot from it, and press the install button [08:40] abhi i install this git-clone to get the open source intel grphic driver how i tell ubuntu to use them insted of what comes in ubuntu 8 === arooni________a is now known as arooni [08:40] jonT: have you tried restoring grub? [08:40] Fryguy--: and i have windows and ubuntu windows on a 500 gb and ubuntu on a 200 gb [08:41] Fryguy--, : I know that I have to add a mount line for disk but that will mount the disk for every one who uses the computer. [08:41] !dapper | CostaRicanQuaker [08:41] CostaRicanQuaker: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. See !lts for more details. [08:41] please tell me if beryl still exists [08:41] or its closed [08:41] i have compiz [08:41] negge^ i just installed so it shouldve installed correctly the first time right? [08:41] abhi_: yes, which is why i also proposed the second solution [08:41] ? [08:41] yes [08:41] abhi did you see my text [08:41] ? [08:41] jonT: yeah but sometimes it doesn't happens to me sometimes too [08:41] and i am on breezy [08:41] so i need to upload from breezy to dapper [08:41] jonT: and did you follow the directions on THE VERY FIRST LINK OF THE GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS YET? [08:41] how do i do that? [08:42] jonT: that's why you probably have to set it up manually, there are tons of guides on google if you search for "how to restore grub" [08:42] !upgrade [08:42] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [08:42] negge^: if you could help me with that i would appreciate it [08:42] you'll need a live CD to do it [08:42] Fryguy--, : let me try the second one. but to mount a drive user need admin status. [08:42] !caps | Fryguy-- :] [08:42] Fryguy-- :]: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [08:42] ray__, : no i have no idea [08:42] How can I mount partition and give user sally all permissions to it? [08:42] jonT: and now i'm not going to bother giving you any more advice. Have a nice day [08:42] (ext3) [08:42] o ok any one here good with driver? [08:42] no new cd, i-ve done it before only i dont know how i-ve been in ubuntu for 48 hours [08:42] Fryguy--: thank you :D [08:42] !shout [08:42] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [08:43] so Fryguy it wasn't that obvious [08:43] zimnyx: specify a uid (or a gid) in the mount options [08:43] Fryguy--, : but session run in user mode. [08:43] geek_inn2: it merged back into compiz called compiz-fusion iirc [08:43] negge^: ight [08:43] abhi_: you can specify a mount to be mountable by users by specifying the 'user' option [08:43] any one here good with driver? [08:43] I forgot my nickserv password, how do I reset it? [08:43] <[Blue]> whats up anyone awake? [08:43] Fryguy--, : could u give a example mount command. [08:44] negge^: ill check it out but im sure im gonna run into a wall it always happens [08:44] Fryguy--: I don't see such option in man mount for ext3 [08:44] is there a way of piping stdout (say ls dir) into something so it doesnt scroll by too quickly? [08:44] abhi_: no [08:44] <[Blue]> does anyone have a dell xps m1330? :D [08:44] zimnyx: well it's there [08:44] powertool08: You find a staff member [08:44] arooni: ls | less [08:44] see no one good with driver here? [08:44] Flannel: where would I find a staff member? [08:44] ray__, : I am just guessing. first remove the preinstalled driver and then try to install the required one. [08:44] can someone give me the dapper repos or some way to update from breezy, i know it can be done [08:44] abhi_: in /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /home/user/mountpoint ntfs noauto,user 0 0 [08:45] i need to download a wmv movie from the web. however firefox always opens it with the totem-plugin-viewer. any tips on how to actually download the file instead of just playing it? [08:45] i jsut dont know how [08:45] powertool08: Best asking in #freenode for a staffer to help you [08:45] abhi how i do that [08:45] abhi_: and you'll want to specify a uid and a gid if you want it to be usable only by a certain user [08:45] yo whats probably the best free web system control panel, besides webmin [08:45] powertool08: `/stats p` lists the on duty staffer, other than that, #freenode [08:45] Fryguy--, : ok [08:45] eviking5: you could try wget [08:45] Flannel: DJones thanks [08:45] ray__: use google, try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=719643 [08:45] ty [08:45] neil_d: just wget url ? [08:45] or a control panel that works game servers to like CS 1.6 or CS:S [08:45] i installed hardy on 2 systems but it failed to recognize the partitions on both occasions,,,,,,,,any particular issue [08:46] why do i feel like half the people who come in here don't know what google is? [08:46] eviking5: yes [08:46] Hi - I just did some recommended updates and one of them messed up Firefox - getting a "XML Parsing Error:syntax error " - Is there a way to roll back updates - or see history of updates I just did to undo the update ? ? [08:46] hey , whats worng here? rsync --bwlimit=45 --backup --stats -za -e ssh -i /kew/.ssh/id_rsa /backup server@myroo.homelinux.com:/storage/ [08:46] geek_inn2: "recognize the partitions" -- care to be more specific? [08:46] neil_d: thanks a lot! I will try it. [08:46] Fryguy--: people just hate googling stuff [08:46] okay negge^ it says put grub> root (hd0,2) but how am i sure what to put instead of (hd0,2) [08:46] ok from this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades i have copied and pasted into gedit the dapper upgrades [08:46] jonT: doesn't the guide tell you how to figure that out? [08:46] what is the command to upgrade to dapper now [08:47] annie_g: delete your ~/.firefox directory and reinstall all of your plugins and stuff manually [08:47] eviking5: let me know if that works ok, wget has a ton of options that might help too. [08:47] Fryguy--: As I said... mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda4 [08:47] i meant it doesnt recognize windows partition(local) [08:47] Fryguy--: there is no sych option for ext3 [08:47] zimnyx: what are you typing [08:47] negge^: no i went to this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#Recovering%20GRUB%20Manually [08:47] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#Recovering%20GRUB%20Manually [08:47] oops [08:47] negge^: haha [08:47] its fstab i think,hardy didnt add entries to fstab [08:47] ah now we're getting somewhere. I have more options (resolutions) ABOVE the 1280 x 800 but they are all blank... any ideas? [08:48] negge^: i hate your name i pretty much have to type it all the way in to the tab button doesnt help at all haha [08:48] Fryguy--: What if I do a uninstall of Firefox with Synaptics & reinstall? [08:48] Fryguy--: UUID=2d98edd9-fff7-45d7-8d8c-084d784ca94d /media/zz ext3 defaults,uid=1000 0 1 [08:48] it's fstab [08:48] negge, once dapper is installed, can i go to gedit open the sources list replace them with edgy and upgrade again? [08:49] negge^: but how am i suppose to know what one to put there? both of my harddrives are master i think [08:49] jonT: hehe, I think I'm connected at home aswell, gonna log out to make it easier for everyone [08:49] annie_g: that's not going to fix anything. The problem is caused by you having a bad plugin or something installed [08:49] i wanna know how entries are added on first boot what app takes care of adding partition/recognizing existing partitions [08:49] CostaRicanQuaker: You can't upgrade to edgy. You should, however, upgrade to Hardy. And theres an automated way of doing it, manual edits/upgrades aren't recommended anymore [08:49] annie_g: to verify, open up a terminal, and type "sudo firefox" and you'll see that it opens up and works fine [08:49] !upgrade | CostaRicanQuaker [08:49] CostaRicanQuaker: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [08:49] negge^: im sorry for my stupidity [08:49] neil_d: it saved a file but I think it is only a link. the file got this name: "view_mediafile.asp?file=48_20_med_10-12-2003.wmv". It is only 700 bytes, while the actual movie is 1MB.... [08:50] Fryguy--: and dmesg says: EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "uid=1000" or missing value [08:50] zimnyx: ok so I'm wrong, what is it that you want to do again? sorry I lost track [08:50] jonT: I can't find the guide I'm looking for right now but just try some of the links you get on google, some of them explain how to figure out what numbers to use [08:50] zimnyx: i think i got you mixed up with the other person who was asking for mount help at about the same time as you [08:50] jyoseph: no [08:51] negge^: kay but you should sign out haha its making me really mad haha [08:51] Flannel, i already had upgraded to dapper from breezy which is what i-m doing now, i tried upgrading to dapper and it hosed my system i had to reinstall the only ubuntu cd i have which is an old canonical copy of breezy as allt he isos give me wrong sums even the one's from torrents [08:51] Fryguy--: I'm ok with fixing this - but I always trust doing recommended updates - What can I do in the future to avoid this? Do I need to study each and every update tgo make sure it's ok ? ? [08:51] * CostaRicanQuaker is currently getting dapper pckages [08:51] can someone help me out? When I start up Ubuntu, I get error messages when it's loading Firestarter saying "wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found" and then [FAIL] Then "run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/50firestarter exited with return code 2" [08:51] CostaRicanQuaker: alright. Well, once youre on dapper, you (as of a few months ago) can only upgrade to Hardy without a lot of hassle, since Edgy is no longer supported. [08:51] i seem to have a process hanging (its a "install multimedia codecs" window from rhythm box media player.. halfway througha n install it just froze & started hanging.. can't close it [08:52] annie_g: there was nothing wrong with the update, there was something wrong with your firefox configuration === epifanio_ is now known as epifanio [08:52] Fryguy--: I want to mount partition so the user sally has full rw permissions to it. [08:52] eviking5: have you tried using a 'right' click on the link then do a 'save link as' ? === Craig is now known as DeVonne [08:53] woody86: do you happen to know if the card (wlan0) works in other operating systems in your current configuration (ie dual booting) [08:53] jonT: fixed it:) === DeVonne is now known as LatitudeD505 [08:53] will it run on the new AMD X2 5600+ 88--GTX NIVIDA, 2GB and 2 HDD 250 RAPTORXS [08:53] negge^: thank you :D [08:53] Fryguy, how about upgrading from dapper to fesity then to gutsy and then to hardy? [08:53] zimnyx: being an ext3 partition, the permissions of the files are stored on the files themselves, there's no practical way that I know of to re-write those permissions are part of mounting [08:53] shiftshift: im only running in Ubuntu 8.04, and it works fine, im using it right now :) [08:53] CostaRicanQuaker: how about just downloading hardy and reinstalling from scratch? [08:53] negge^: i cant find a good guide they are all for fedora core and they have some easy command that only works for fedora core but not on ubuntu [08:53] neil_d: does not work. It is not a direct link, but something that is resolved with ASP on the host side, I would guess. When leftclicking it plays fine, though. [08:54] CostaRicanQuaker: you can upgrade directly from dapper to hardy [08:54] jonT: okay [08:54] hello, I am on a Dell Latitude D505 and am running Hardy, well in the BIOS I had to set Boot Speed to Compatible and not 1.20 because 1.20 makes the laptop randomly shutdown, any advice? [08:54] are less and more the same program? they seem to be?? whats different? [08:54] negge^: im stuck :[ [08:54] ANYONE : will ubuntu run on the new AMD X2 5600+ 88--GTX NIVIDA, 2GB and 2 HDD 250 RAPTORXS [08:54] eviking5: what are you trying to do? [08:54] woody86: apparently it is a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firestarter/+bug/132039 [08:54] Launchpad bug 132039 in firestarter "[gutsy] /etc/network/if-up.d/50firestarter exited with return code 2" [Low,Confirmed] [08:54] Fryguy--: It's been working great for a long time no problems - occasional problem w/youtube but nothing like this. I did install an addon recently - This probably did me in. [08:54] fok|zz: yes [08:54] eviking5: when playing is there a file /tmp/ that looks like your movie ? [08:55] jonT: run sudo fdisk -l to see which harddrive is your first one and then do "grub-install /dev/sda" or /dev/hda or whatever the device name is [08:55] that should work too [08:55] eviking5: are you trying to download a movie that autoplays and you can't rightclick it because it's a redirect url? [08:55] Fryguy--: thanks, I bet there is a way. [08:55] fok|zz: download a live cd and try, but most probably it will [08:55] SO why wont it accept that i have a ethenet and automaticly use like windows to get loged on the inter net ? [08:55] eviking5: open up a terminal and type "wget http://url/you/want/here" [08:56] fok|zz: maybe your ethernet card isn't support (it probably is though) [08:56] negge^: http://pastebin.com/m43c3659c [08:56] Hi! :D is it possible to instal ubuntu on a virtual pc or program that alws you t run 2 operating systems at once? I still have m wireless modem problem and my graphics card problem so i thought if i use it on a virtual pc i dnt have to restart my pc into ubuntu and not be able to get guid lines from here [08:56] fok|zz: where are you at now and what is the problem [08:56] well i was installing it [08:56] negge^: they are both bootable [08:56] Fryguy--: By deleting the FFox directory and reinstalling all of my plugins - Would this be Flash, etc? [08:56] xczsacsz: yes, like any operating system, ubuntu can be virtualized, whether it's virtualpc (not recommended, there are far better options), virtualbox, vmware, or parallels, it will run [08:57] and it wouldnt allow me to log on internet. [08:57] jonT: okay then run grub-install /dev/sda [08:57] xczsacsz: yes, you can put it on a virtual machine [08:57] annie_g: not your plugins, just your addons and bookmarks will be deleted [08:57] I don't know if both partitions should be bootable though [08:57] Fryguy, i don-t trust downloading anymore because, i got ubuntu, the cdrw didnt work, so i bought some cds, so i tried that, checked for errors before installing it had errors, so i got the alternate cd, didnt work still had errors, got kubuntu, same deal, alternate, same deal, xubuntu, same deal, alternte same deal, ran out of cds, thought i might as well try and install, did, at 6% installing base system in some of the cds and 25% installing [08:57] software in some other of the cds it got stuck for over six hours, so not only do i have a physical limitation in terms of not having any cdrs left but i dont rust it as some of the images where downloaded from official torrents and even then didn-t work [08:57] FRYGUY : i have road runner so internet runs all the time. [08:57] what virtual program is the best to use for ubuntu [08:57] fok|zz: so is it installed or are you still on the live cd [08:57] fryguy: i'm trying to download this movie to my hard drive, not just playing it : http://wtt.didac.no/veritech/asp/ressurser/view_mediafile.asp?file=48_20_med_10-12-2003.wmv [08:57] what's a linux game that's any fun? [08:57] ok wish me luck, this is pretty much my last attempt [08:57] its installed. [08:57] xczsacsz: in my opinion virtualbox is the nicest [08:57] eviking5: like i said, use wget [08:57] ariqs: enemy territory [08:57] fok|zz, are you using a dumb modem or routed modem/router? [08:58] ok cool [08:58] negge^: how are you sure? [08:58] CostaRicanQuaker: your CD burner is probably broken [08:58] 6 hours at getting 1 little freaking simple thing like a monitor resolution changed [08:58] = silly [08:58] jonT: of what? the device name= [08:58] Fryguy--: Ok so just backup books & move ahead - correct? [08:58] another problem i have i hope u can help me [08:58] fok|zz: ok, so what happens when you try to browse a web site [08:58] annie_g: yes [08:58] eviking5: right click and click save as [08:58] Does anyone have an idea as to why the bios setting boot speed 1.20 makes my laptop randomly shutdown? Compatibility mode does not, however it makes ubuntu slow [08:58] routed modem/router. [08:58] negge, it burned right partedmagic and gparted [08:58] shiftshift: tyvm! do you know an easy way to fix it offhand? I'm reading the bug right now [08:58] negge^: sure what harddrive to install grub on [08:58] negge^: Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. [08:58] Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. [08:59] N-MIMO [08:59] :D [08:59] fok|zz, does ifconfig show you as having an ip address? [08:59] i didnt check that hold [08:59] fok|zz: oh, you are using wireless? [08:59] jonT: 'cause it should be on the first one [08:59] yea i got all kinds of shits on this pc [08:59] :D [08:59] negge^: i got that error ^^^^ [08:59] CostaRicanQuaker: what do you mean? did you check the checksum of the files before burning them? [08:59] woody86: while I haven't encountered the same issue myself, dk75 in the comments has suggested a sort of hackish way of fixing the issue [08:59] I have had this problem of not being able to set my graphics card to the highest visual effects to get the cube effect but it doenst alow me it says that i need a restricted driver my graphics card is a NVIDIA ge force 7500le and my wireless modem doesnt pick up on ubuntu so i cannot install drivers from ubuntu...

[09:00] shiftshift: thx again! [09:00] jonT: that does not work [09:00] woody86: no problem [09:00] annie_g: the directory is ~/.firefox === krusher is now known as krusher00|lawpto [09:00] nope, i tried butit got the computer stuck so much that i justchecked after burned on the scan disk for errors after booting form it [09:00] negge [09:00] I've never used the grub-install command so I'm not sure how it should be used [09:00] annie_g: ~ expands to your home directory, /home/annie_g or whatever [09:00] annie_g, the "~" means your home dir [09:01] Fyguy: wget does not work.... [09:01] eviking5: what does not work about it [09:01] xczsacsz: have you looked into ndiswrapper at all, for installing the drivers for your wireless [09:01] CostaRicanQuaker: and you got errors there? [09:01] eviking5, negge^: Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. [09:01] Fryguy: Ah - ok - told ya still newbie - smile - will give a whirl - thanks much....

[09:01] whats ndiswrapper [09:01] Seven_Six_Two: Thanks [09:02] roswarrior: do you have a msn? [09:02] xczsacsz: a driver wrapper that allows you to use some windows drivers in linux [09:02] eviking5: I don't know of any other simple way. maybe using python or perl you could make something that looks like a browser to get the file. [09:02] sure, why? [09:02] xczsacsz: supported cards here: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,list/ [09:02] ariqs: no it's not available yet, when it is ubuntu will prompt you for the update [09:02] roswarrior: are you from england ? [09:02] i have no idea how to do that [09:02] nope [09:02] eviking5: what doesn't work about wget [09:02] roswarrior: nvm [09:02] neil_d: that's what wget is [09:02] jonT: I really don't know what's wrong, but as it's the first device and the first partition try the guides you've already looked at and use hd(0, 0) as your numbers [09:03] fryguy: I have all but most important updates turned off due to being in dialup and the huge number of updates required otherwise [09:03] Fryguy: it does not download the file, just some sort of link. Almost like when i left-click and choose "save as". The result is then just a file called "view_mediafile.asp" [09:03] xczsacsz: unfortunately/fortunately the only way you'll solve your problem is learning how to use what is needed to fix your driver issue [09:03] flooood booot!!! [09:03] negge^: but thats what grub installed on in the first place :[ [09:03] CostaRicanQuaker: just burn it on a different computer then, obviously something is either wrong with your burner or your media [09:03] jonT: did you get any errors while installing it? [09:03] negge^: no [09:03] eviking5: and if you rename that file to blah.wmv, what happens [09:03] jonT: okay but try it anyway [09:03] is M$ attacking #ubuntu ? [09:04] negge^: do you think its because i have a certain harddrive before the other in my bios boot option? [09:04] let me get ubuntu on virtualbox and i will explain exactly what happens then will u be able to help me? or guide me what i should do [09:04] oh eviking5: i just visited the site. it's a container that plays it in the site? [09:04] eviking5: this is easy :) [09:04] xczsacsz: if you can use that then you should be able to fix your own issue [09:05] negge^, i only have one computer with a burner in it [09:05] well i will try [09:05] I don't think so, but it won't hurt making the disk you actually boot from the first one [09:05] CostaRicanQuaker: then get it at a friends place or at work [09:05] negge^: then i will be right back [09:05] eviking5: browse to the site in firefox , right click, view page info, second tab (media), and you'll see a save as button for the embed there [09:05] or get a new burner [09:05] if not i need help.. i have been in and out of here for 3 days and i havent gotten anywhere [09:05] Hi, folks... Have some trouble with apt-get - dists/hardy/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 is broken everywhere (CRC error). Any solutions to things like that? The .gz file seems OK, but I'm not sure how I'll tell apt-get to use that instead. The file is dated 2008-04-24. Has it been broken that long?? [09:05] if i have snes9x binary; i can ./configure ; make; and sudo make install? [09:05] negge^, i rather upgrade from dapper to hardy [09:06] negge^: why should i get a new burner? [09:06] Processing triggers for libc6 ... [09:06] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [09:06] CostaRicanQuaker: you cant [09:06] is it finished of installation wine? [09:06] pan03943: yes that should work [09:06] k thx [09:06] jonT: not you, CostaRicanQuaker . just entered the wrong nick [09:06] negge^: okay [09:06] CostaRicanQuaker: then why don't you do it? [09:06] xczsacsz: I don't know much about wireless cards, but here is a how to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31926 ... by chance do you know make/model of your card [09:06] ng0L_: yes [09:06] cool [09:06] negge^, thats what i-m intending to do [09:06] one another question, how can install nvdia driver? [09:07] ng0L_: use the restricted drivers manager [09:07] negge^: cause you cant upgrade from drapper to hardy [09:07] i'm in theprocess of upgrading to dapper from breezy negge^ [09:07] it is a E220 HSDPA Modem [09:07] WalloO - the conversion completed successfully [09:07] ng0L_: if you have an nvidia card it should be prompting you in system tray to enable it [09:07] jonT: yes you can [09:07] lol, no samba updates in this round :P [09:07] negge^: but from one distro to the other [09:07] CostaRicanQuaker: why do you do what? you can upgrade directly to hardy [09:07] negge^: not from drapper straight to hardy [09:07] yes i use an nvidia card [09:07] Fryguy: I'm speechless........ What a simple solution.... [09:07] but i dont see it in tray [09:07] jonT: CostaRicanQuaker both are LTS releases which mean you can upgrade directly [09:08] negge^: you have to go one by one [09:08] jonT: not in this case [09:08] Fryguy--: it can't be operating exactly like a browser as it isn't getting the same data as the browser does (i.e. the video stream) [09:08] i dont think breezy is a lts [09:08] negge^: idk im stupid rememebr haha [09:08] WalloO - cannot test audio as I need to grab headphones... but the video looks good --- Thanks for the help [09:08] not for lts releases. you can do direct [09:08] I can't for the life of me get iptables to restore its settings on startup. I have created the 01firewall file in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatch.d/ but it doesn't seem to do the trick. I've also tried to add iptables-restore to pre-up in /etc/network/interfaces but all to no avail [09:08] 8.04.1 is so close though you may as well wait for that [09:08] CostaRicanQuaker: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/04/23/upgrade-ubuntu-606-to-ubuntu-804/ there's a howto [09:08] eviking5: i misunderstood the problem originally, i thought you were visiting the link and it was opening up in totem without any prompt, i didn't realize it was an embedded player like this, sorry for not being able to be more direct with you [09:08] Fryguy, jonT, and neil_d: thanks a lot for helping! [09:08] where can i go restricted driver manager? [09:08] shiftshit: it is a E220 HSDPA Modem [09:08] neil_d: it operates just like a browser [09:09] neil_d: see the http rfc for details [09:09] xczsacsz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=262867 this thread is exactly what you need. read through it, people HAVE made your card work [09:09] CostaRicanQuaker: if you can just cancel your current upgrade process and let it roll back to the original state then update straight to hardy [09:09] ng0L_: no idea, should be in system menu somewher [09:09] shiftshift haha sorry [09:09] CostaRicanQuaker: it'll save you hours of work [09:09] eviking5: did you get your file ? [09:09] Fryguy: I should have explained it better, first. Again, thanks a lot! [09:09] how do i cancel it? [09:09] ok thanx [09:09] there is a hardware driver [09:09] ng0L_: that's the one [09:10] neil_d: got it with Fryguys suggestion above [09:10] CostaRicanQuaker: you need to upgrade to dapper first, from breezy. So don't cancel, keep it going. [09:10] I see my nvidia card enable (uncheck) status (not in use) [09:10] ng0L_: so check it [09:10] Does anyone else have problems with archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse ? Have searched lots of mirrors, but everyone has CRC errors. Incredible annoying. Is it possible to use the Packages.gz instead of the .bz2 file? [09:10] QUESTION: how do i edit FLAC metadata tags? [09:11] after checked it, it requires a driver download [09:11] magnetron: i recommend a program called exfalso for doing it, it's part of quod libet [09:11] i can't find the semicolon on the keyboard [09:11] (binary-i386) === Guest95848 is now known as tomaw [09:11] And i am downloading the package files [09:11] i am currently on a united kingdom default and i have a spanish keyboard [09:11] ng0L_: should be pretty self explanatory from this point (and requires a computer restart) [09:11] Fryguy--, thx, i'll look into it [09:11] ng0L_: we don't need a play by play :) [09:11] UK keyboards are messed up [09:11] how d i check for it? i cant find it in the character map [09:11] magnetron: get exfalso, it comes with the media player Quod Libet. its a fantastic tag editor for not only flac/ogg but id3 too [09:11] hehe Okay Fryguy [09:11] shiftshift: you are lagging man, i said that like 10 seconds ago [09:11] CostaRicanQuaker: just press shift + comma [09:11] hi all [09:12] CostaRicanQuaker, try 2 to the left of enter? [09:12] I'm sure every keyboard has that one [09:12] < [09:12] " [09:12] Fryguy--: haha, not lagging.. but apparently not reading [09:12] i have problem in running two screen with extended option on my ubuntu [09:12] CostaRicanQuaker: I meant shift + dot [09:12] CostaRicanQuaker, one more to the left [09:12] no shift + comma [09:12] shiftshift: lagging mentally, not internet connection :) [09:12] He's not on a US layout [09:12] I'm just stupid [09:12] Fryguy, I have installed wine, but where it goes to? I don't see it anywhere on my ubuntu. [09:12] hi. i have problem with MovieFly. https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lmc/ I can't configure because "configure: error: failed to find required module stringtemplate" [09:12] here are my on keybord shift symbols ¬!"£$%^&*()_+{}@~<>?| [09:12] Where are the default settings for iptables set? [09:12] first time i enabled it it works fine, when i restart my laptop it corrupt the settings [09:13] here are my shiftless symbols []#',./\` [09:13] ng0L_: there's probably a menu for it under the applications menu [09:13] xczsacsz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=595064&highlight=E220 howto about your particular card [09:13] negge^: that was the problem the whole time dude :\ [09:13] CostaRicanQuaker: you don't get a semicolon from up there you're supposed to press Shift + Comma [09:13] jonT: :D [09:13] jonT: so it works now? [09:13] jklehm: default firewall rules in ubuntu are to accept everything [09:13] negge^: yes [09:13] < thats what this command does [09:13] good for you then [09:13] Fryguy, in Other category? i saw a Browse C:\ [09:13] how do i ge the two dots and the semicolon then? [09:13] negge^: but i have another problem [09:13] ng0L_: yes [09:13] CostaRicanQuaker: you get a < when you press shift + comma? [09:13] installed call of duty 4 with wine. but it wont let me install directX any ideas? [09:13] yes [09:14] is ubuntu linux 2.6? [09:14] negge^, that's what I get too, but I'm on us layout [09:14] Fryguy, what to do with that? I meant how to run .exe? [09:14] xczsacsz: yes [09:14] CostaRicanQuaker: aah sorry I missed the part where you said you had a spanish keyboard layout or something [09:14] negge^: do you know how to make numlock start it says in bios its on but its not on when i get into ubuntu [09:14] yes i have a spanish keyboard [09:14] negge^: it's a spanish keyboard that he's somehow managed to get a UK layout installed for [09:14] ng0L_: if you installed it correctly, i believe ubuntu let's you just double click on .exe files and it'll open them in wine automatically for you [09:14] but an english layout [09:14] i tried it because the spanish didnt work either [09:14] jonT: actually no, I have the same problem at home, just never bothered fixing it [09:14] Fryguy--: But there is a drop rule for forwarding. That's what I need to change [09:14] is it possible to share an ntfs drive, i edited fstab to make it automount at boot, but when i go to share a folder on it, it gives permissions error, [09:14] LSD|Ninja: alright:D [09:14] if i have binary i dont have to make or build anything? [09:15] Fryguy--: okay let's me download a small exe file to test. [09:15] negge^: that was an easy issue to fix in openSUSE [09:15] all i see is snes9x and txt files [09:15] sivar: do you have read/write enabled [09:15] negge^: but in here not so easy [09:15] ./snes9x gives me options [09:15] jklehm: as far as I know that's not the case, but I don't use ubuntu so i can't say for sure [09:15] jonT: it's probably not that hard to do in ubuntu either if you just google for it [09:15] pan03943: if it's a binary then you can't compile it [09:15] oh ok [09:15] read only i believe [09:16] sivar: you can't change the permissions on the drive without write access [09:16] so how do i go aboutwith the semicolon [09:16] sivar: yes sharing a folder works fine on ntfs. I'm not sure what specific problem you are running into however [09:16] I suppose its possible a package I've insalled has changed the default somewhere.... if only I could find where the config is =/ [09:16] CostaRicanQuaker: ; ; ; ; ; just copy paste from here [09:16] jklehm: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+edit+iptables+rules&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [09:16] negge^: it should be in keyboard [09:16] um... [09:16] yes, indeed [09:16] CostaRicanQuaker: First, you need to make sure what's printed on the keys and what the software thinks is printed on the keys match up [09:16] i get this error net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /mnt/downloads2/FTP as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own. [09:16] Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = False" [09:16] to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this [09:17] CostaRicanQuaker: Find out why a spanish layout doesn't work with your spanish keyboard first [09:17] LSD|Ninja [09:17] how do ido that? [09:17] sivar: that seems pretty descriptive :) go and do that [09:17] Fryguy--: I've followed that, it doesn't work =/ [09:17] can i change the layout? [09:17] back to spanishperhaps [09:17] sivar: did you do the [global] thing? [09:17] Fryguy--: Is there anyway to push my connection speed a bit faster in Ubuntu? Whenever i update software, i meant ubuntu itself downloads the file from the server, so I cant even able to open another webpage. I don't know if it is happen to everyone else, but i can say it slower than in Windows about the connection speed. [09:17] yes i did, no joy [09:17] CostaRicanQuaker: 1. why don't you just change your keyboard layout? 2. if you just need one comma somewhere why don't just copy paste it from here? [09:17] Hi all! On any Live CD with a grub splash screen (you know, like Linspire 5.1 or Freespire 1.0, or something like that) my computer freezes at Loading grub.. is there a fix for this? [09:17] jklehm: then you might have identified your problem incorrectly again. I find it hard to believe that the ubuntu wiki for something as predominant as iptables is wrong [09:17] Fryguy--: ath0 is my interface and it doesnt do the pre-up post-down stuff =/ [09:17] CostaRicanQuaker, try the one to the right of L [09:18] : haha! [09:18] yes [09:18] i have an intel mac mini $599 latest model [09:18] welp that's it folks [09:18] that's the n with a tilde on top [09:18] which i hardly ever use because it's spanish [09:18] Anybody by any chance using Countour RollerMouse Pro or some other Ergonomic keyboard similar to this: http://www.rollermousepro.com/ [09:18] ng0L_: there's not really any easy way to do network load balancing of QoS, no [09:18] hi all [09:18] how do i change to a spanish layout though? i could prhaps see if theres an argentinian spanish [09:18] i used spains spanish layout [09:18] if I want to source a file each time I open terminal [09:18] CostaRicanQuaker, that's where it is on us layout as well, but my enter key is only one row high, not 2 [09:18] what file do I need to edit? [09:19] thanks again for all of your help Fryguy-- [09:19] My grub keeps freezing at Grub loading stage on a live cd.. is there any way to get past this? I'm on an intel $599 latest model mac mini. [09:19] how do i put command in ubuntu [09:19] catalytic: assuming you are using bash ~/.bashrc [09:19] Fryguy--: so I have no choice beside waiting [09:19] Fryguy--: perhaps there is a conflict with network manager and iptables and wireless? There is no example in that guide specifically for wirless. [09:19] negge^: is kubuntu-desktop still the package to install if you want kde? and how do i get rid of gnome [09:19] commands* [09:19] cheers [09:19] CostaRicanQuaker: when you set Ubuntu up one of the first things you're asked is what keyboard you have. You're even given an option to test it before continuing. [09:19] sivar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/175689 [09:19] Launchpad bug 175689 in samba ""Share Folder" in right-click menu does not share ntfs drive folders" [Low,Won't fix] [09:19] jonT, yes. [09:19] LSD|NInja [09:19] ng0L_: i guess. I find it hard to believe that you can't open webpages while downloading packages, maybe you have a very poor internet connection. I don't know [09:19] Arv3n: thansk [09:19] LSD|NInja: can i change it once it's installed? [09:19] reading that now thank you [09:19] Arv3n: what about remove gnome apps out of kubuntu [09:20] jonT, visit psychocats.net for a command on how to uninstall ubuntu-desktop [09:20] jklehm: maybe. I don't touch wireless at all on *nix so I can't offer any useful input on that [09:20] jonT: I think so. To uninstall gnome, "apt-get remove --purge gnome-desktop" probably does it [09:20] CostaRicanQuaker, there should be options for keyboard layouts in your internationalization settings. [09:20] Arv3n: thanks [09:20] sux that it had to fail on such a minor thing [09:20] no problem, buddy. [09:20] My grub keeps freezing at Grub loading stage on a live cd.. is there any way to get past this? I'm on an intel $599 latest model mac mini. [09:20] where are the internationalization settings? [09:20] Fryguy--: thanks for trying [09:20] jyoseph: i feel sorry for you, i have like, the exact same setup as you [09:20] Fryguy--: Maybe, but when i was on windows i download such a big file, thus i still able to open other page. I have no idea. [09:20] CostaRicanQuaker: System --> Preferences --> Keyboard, then click the layout tab [09:20] jyoseph: in fact, i might go and reboot my computer to ubuntu right now just to pull my xorg.conf for you [09:20] that's where it's in Gutsy atleast [09:20] :( sucks because I love the way Ubuntu looks and feels [09:21] >_< [09:21] and works [09:21] * LSD|Ninja stabs Screen Sharing [09:21] and tastes [09:21] jyoseph: hold on a second, i'm going to reboot this computer to ubuntu and look up my xorg.conf for you [09:21] brb [09:21] CostaRicanQuaker, in KDE it's in the control center under region and language. sorry, I don't use gnome [09:21] hahah, thanks man... you've already pretty much done everything you can do to help [09:21] Seven_Six_Two: don't worry, i plan to get kde [09:21] jonT - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde [09:21] lets give it a shot tho, heck [09:21] to install [09:22] jyoseph: brb (i'm not going to sign off, this is on a screen session on another terminal so hold on) [09:22] Fryguy--: I have install my nvidia card successfully, it requires to restart to make thing changed. brb [09:22] jonT http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde [09:22] woody86: thank you i was having a hard time finding it :] [09:22] CostaRicanQuaker, I didn't realize that negge^ already gave you the gnome answer [09:22] np [09:22] can someone help me out with wine and DirectX plz msg [09:23] My grub keeps freezing at Grub loading stage on a live cd.. is there any way to get past this? I'm on an intel $599 latest model mac mini. [09:23] jonT: np, that's what i used, since i have a laptop, and can never make up my mind, lol [09:23] ok spanish now [09:23] linuxnub, I would recommend looking in to Cedega if you want to play directx games [09:23] linuxnub, or crossover games. [09:23] ¬!"£$%^&*()_{}~@:?><| hmm seems like the same [09:23] * CostaRicanQuaker wonders if anything changed [09:23] Arv3n: are you sure you have a non-corrupted cdr [09:24] Arv3n, from the same ppl as crossover office? nice. [09:24] shiftshift, it's not corrupted. it happens on any cd that has a grub splash screen on it. [09:24] i'm particularly trying to get linspire 5.1 to work. [09:24] but since it happens on anything with a grub splash screen. i figured i'd come here. [09:25] it also happens on linux mint, for example. so you have to reinstall grub without the splash screen. === nonix4_ is now known as nonix4 [09:25] im about to go to sleep thanks negge^ , Arv3n , and woody86 :D === brad` is now known as brad [09:25] bye [09:25] Fryguy--: you can fall off a cliff [09:25] jonT - np, and g'nite [09:25] :D [09:25] lol [09:26] so does anyone have any.. creative solutions? [09:26] Arv3n: ... would LILO work... haha [09:26] it's on a live cd. :) [09:26] that's the problem. [09:26] i just want to install it first. >< [09:27] it won't even get done loading grub. [09:27] if it is a fairly recent intel mac, I think it may be the EFI causing issues [09:27] of course. [09:28] i'm sure too, i just want a workaround. [09:28] ahh there we go. Fryguy-- problem was that I needed net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 set in /etc/sysctl.conf [09:29] I don't recall having problems like that the couple of times I tried Ubuntu on my MacBook. That was 7.10 though, 8.04 probably breaks things. It's good at that. [09:29] well... if you are able to install anything grub-less, ie: non-live cd, then http://refit.sourceforge.net/ might be the best boot loader [09:29] How do I verify my internet connection on Ubuntu? - It's an IP connection, and you connect your web thro a proxy server. for the IP, you enter the | Ip Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway & a preferred DSN server. That's on Windows. [09:30] Reaper can you ping it [09:30] um. [09:30] so is there a workaround? [09:30] just tell me what to do. lol [09:30] Arv3n, this sort of thing? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-767677.html [09:30] I tried to Ping on Ubuntu, koshari, it didn't work... [09:30] 0 % success. [09:30] I wonder if I even did it right. [09:30] Seven_Six_Two, no. [09:30] Reaper can you ping your gateway? [09:31] I had my connection just fine with a PPOE account, now it's turned to IP account, a sort of provider problem. [09:31] no idea, I gave up messing with Ubuntu on the MacBook after I found I had to compile madwifi to get the wireless working. Haven't touched it since. [09:31] you know when you boot off the live cd and it starts loading grub for the selectable options? [09:31] koshari, I will go try - in case it didn't work, what's the solution? [09:31] well, when it says "loadind grub..." it freezes, and stays like that, and won't load up. [09:32] Hello , i am trying to install some software by instructions steps , now the next step : Add the ./scripts directory to your $PATH. what does it mean ? (i am new to ubuntu) ? [09:32] hey guys I'm looking for a program that takes screenshots the same way you can do in compiz (but without compiz) [09:32] koshari...? any suggestions? [09:32] Arv3n: well... yes. this is the workaround apparently: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=502007 [09:32] that's if grub has a splash screen. for example, linspire 5.1, freespire 1.0, linux mint (installed on hd only), anything with gfx-grub installed. [09:33] shiftshift, nooonono. [09:33] i have no idea where you got that from (did you pull it ou tof your ass?) [09:33] but that really has nothing to do with what i'm talking about. :| [09:33] can one do two different things on two different terminals? like i am currently upgrading to dapper but can i go to another console and also get kubuntu? [09:33] CostaRicanQuaker, you mean use two apt-get's at the same time? no. [09:33] you can only use one apt-get at a time. [09:33] Sure, you can, but not on the same computer. [09:33] ok [09:34] a quick question for anyone who can help... during startup I get the following messages: [09:34] for example, gfx-grub freezes my grub up. [09:34] does anyone else get computer freezes whenever running compiz? [09:35] Reaper well if you cannot reach your gateway there is a definate prob your end, if you can reach your gateway and log onto your router there is a good chance you can see what the prob may be, for example my router has the link quality/status on the router. [09:35] Arv3n: I'm not pulling it out of my ass, either there is some miscommunication or you don't understand. The workaround is since with EFI there is no BIOS and GRUB is a bios-based bootloader you need to seek out EFI specific ways such as rEFIt [09:35] hi [09:35] mattycoze my compiz works fine [09:35] Fryguy--: hi [09:35] k [09:35] shiftshift, so.. [09:36] how do i do it? do you have any ideas? === Pockey is now known as pockey [09:36] telling me to just "get refit" isnt going to do any good, especially since i dont have os x installed. :D [09:36] koshari, I'm gonna go try. [09:36] a quick question for anyone who can help... during startup I get the following messages: "Starting Kernel Event Manager.... udevd[2777] : lookup_group: specified group 'scanner' unknown" Anyone have any ideas? [09:36] either way, it has to load grub, doesn't it? [09:36] shiftshift: there's BIOS emulation which gets the job done [09:36] from the live cd. [09:36] on a live cd people, not an installed system. [09:36] I have installed nvidia card and it required me to restart the pc, but after restarted, I think my ubuntu doesnt know any graphic drivers [09:37] how do i do with it? [09:37] before it even gives you the option to start up the live cd, grub freezes. [09:37] ng0L why do you thing that? [09:37] hack hack hack [09:37] koshari, because my resolution become bigger [09:37] I'm looking for a program that takes screenshots the same way you can do in compiz (but without compiz) [09:37] Is it even grub on the CDs? I though syslinux was teh CD bootloader? [09:37] it doesnt have 1024*768 [09:37] LSD|Ninja, no. [09:37] it happens on any distro that uses grub [09:37] Can I run fluxbuntu as I would get xubuntu to run on top of ubuntu or would i have to make a whole different partition and install it in there? [09:37] ng0L ok, check the restricted driver status [09:37] like linux mint. [09:38] since gfx-grub is installed (adds a splash screen to grub), it freezes. [09:38] koshari: you meant the hardware drivers? [09:38] jyoseph: you still there? [09:38] Does anyone here Evolution->calendar->on this computer->type w/ recurrences? [09:38] what is the command to know which version one is running on? [09:38] damn apt-cacher is on the money :-) [09:38] !version | CostaRicanQuaker [09:38] CostaRicanQuaker: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [09:38] one types a command on terminal and it tells you which ubuntu you-re on [09:38] Fryguy-- yessir [09:38] costaicanquaker, check out /etc/issue [09:39] koshari, Fryguy--, In my hardware drivers is nothing now. [09:39] hi, how can I upgrade just my scons package to the newest version available in some kind of bleeding-edge unstable repository? [09:39] Hello , i am trying to install some software by instructions steps , now the next step : Add the ./scripts directory to your $PATH. what does it mean ? (i am new to ubuntu) ? [09:39] ng0L can you try to re-anable it? [09:39] <[mode]> íèõðåíàñå ñêîêà âàñ òóò.. =) === leagris is now known as Bubulle [09:39] jyoseph: i'm sad :( ubuntu 8.04 livecd doesn't boot correctly on my machine (I haven't used ubuntu in a few months). I managed to get the file though, give me a sec to pastebin it [09:39] koshari: Tell me how please [09:39] Kate_Mins, move that directory to /usr/bin [09:39] ng0L: tick the box again [09:39] awesome, thanks [09:40] koshari: Which box? [09:40] Kate_Mins, /usr/bin is your $Path, i believe. [09:40] ng0L hardware drivers > nvidia enabled [09:40] koshari: I am on Hardware drivers section and I couldnt do anything with it, because it is all blank.. [09:40] ok, how about this. Does anyone here not find the bug report method a bit unfriendly [09:41] Arv3n: there is a way to include the new directory in the $PATH without moving the directory to /usr/bin ? [09:41] <[mode]> âðîòìíåíîãè [09:41] Kate_Mins, are there scripts inside that folder? [09:41] Kate_MIns: Add it to your PATH variable [09:41] If so just move the scripts to /usr/bin [09:41] a quick question for anyone who can help... during startup I get the following messages: "Starting Kernel Event Manager.... udevd[2777] : lookup_group: specified group 'scanner' unknown" Anyone have any ideas? [09:41] Arv3n: What CD are you using? [09:41] LSD|Ninja, it depends. [09:41] Arv3n: yes there are scripts inside (.sh , .pl) [09:41] Linspire 5.1, Freespire 1.0, Linux Mint 4.0, for instance. [09:42] !ru | [mode] [09:42] [mode]: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [09:42] Anything with gfx-grub installed [09:42] koshari: I am on Hardware drivers section and I couldnt do anything with it, because it is all blank.. [09:42] Arv3n: do you have bootcamp? [09:42] jyoseph: http://pastebin.com/m69c56a59 [09:42] shiftshift, why? [09:42] that doesn't do much of anything, except partition your hd. [09:42] The Ubuntu 8.04 dekstop CD is booting just fine here, no GRUB there [09:42] ng0L: ok go the appearance > vis effect tab and try to enable normal [09:42] is there a way to run shortcuts with hotkeys? [09:42] LSD|Ninja, that doesn't have gfx-grub. [09:42] Flannel: how i can add it to my PATH variable ? (does the scripts will work than from any location ?) [09:42] Arv3n: most the solutions I have seen for the Mac Mini require it as it has legacy BIOS emulation [09:42] jyoseph: you'll probably want to play around with it a bit (that's not from an ubuntu install), but it should hopefully work. That's a configuration for a dell 3007wfp with an nvidia card [09:42] <[mode]> DJones, òà íå õî÷ó ÿ òóäà... [09:43] mattycoze compiz ones? [09:43] Worked. [09:43] Fryguy-- thank you so much [09:43] gonna try that now [09:43] shiftshift, if you remove os x and boot from the windows cd it does the same thing. [09:43] jyoseph: you'll want to fix the mouse stuff, unless you happen to have the exact same mouse as me [09:43] as if you just used boot camp. [09:43] shiftshift: Arv3n is right, boot camp does nine tenths of bugger all in the grand scheme of things [09:43] jyoseph: evdev is pretty poopy in ubuntu so don't use it [09:43] je tu nekdo? [09:43] Arv3n: so why are you here if your problem isn;t with Ubuntu? [09:44] LSD|Ninja, have any clever ideas? [09:44] koshari nah i'd like ksnapshot to open up whenever i use a key combination [09:44] Fryguy-- while you were gone, I messed with it a bit more and it will now show me the 2650x1600 resolution but won't actually *change* the resolution [09:44] like super+q [09:44] well, what if i installed gfx-grub on ubuntu? then it WOULD be a problem with ubuntu. [09:44] koshari: Desktop effect could not be enable. [09:44] i'd be completely locked out of my system. [09:44] LSD|Ninja: forgive me if I lack experience in the whole OS X dual booting bs. the only time I ever used it was when the osx86 stuff first came out in 06 [09:44] ubuntu's screenshot management is bad; that idea in compiz should be made native [09:44] LSD|Ninja, do you have any ideas? [09:45] it seems like a larger pain in the ass than it needs to be [09:45] i've tried removing the splash thing from the grub part on the cd and burning it, didn't help 'cause i think you need to reinstall grub. [09:45] Arv3n: Hang on, back up. First you say live cd, not installed system but now you're saying installed system? etf? [09:45] ng0L did you get an error? [09:45] forgetting emacs, can anyone suggest a good c++ text editor? [09:45] LSD|Ninja, nevermind. [09:45] incorrect: vim [09:45] haha [09:45] thanks for trying to help. >< [09:45] incorrect: gedit [09:45] ng0L how didi you install the restricted drivers BTW [09:45] i gotta go though, its 4am. [09:45] shiftshift: lots of people make the mistake of thinking Boot Camp is some kind of magic [09:46] what is the command to figure out my partitions, which is hda1, etc? [09:46] incorrect: eclipse? anjuta? scite? [09:46] thanks :) [09:46] no, scratch that. [09:46] !code | incorrect [09:46] incorrect: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, eclipse, pida [09:46] its 5am. [09:46] CostaRicanQuaker: just open gparted and look [09:46] LSD|Ninja: it would appear every goddamn guide on ubuntu forums would tell me so [09:46] from the terminal i mean [09:46] koshari: i tick on enable and it requires me to download driver of nvidia card, then it was successfully installed on my ubuntu and it requires to restart once. Then i got this problem [09:46] shiftshift.. [09:46] oh i don't know pida [09:46] you could just boot from the ubuntu cd [09:46] ubunubi> from the terminal [09:46] and then fire up gparted and set the partition label to msdos [09:46] shiftshift: you can use it (just install Linux instead of Windows) and it works, but it's not necessary [09:47] ng0L: what problem [09:47] and then install ubuntu and it'd work. [09:47] or you could just tell the ubunt installer to use the entire drive, but i like to set the partition label first. ;) [09:47] CostaRicanQuaker: dunno a terminal command for it personally sorry [09:47] terminal command for what? [09:48] I know there is a command that you type on the terminal and let's you see your partitions [09:48] CostaRicanQuaker: cfdisk [09:48] Fryguy--: [09:48] anybody knows how to allow some specific users to access via telnet? [09:48] Fryguy--: thankyou [09:48] CostaRicanQuaker: more specificallyk, sudo cfdisk /dev/sda [09:48] ng0L might be an idea to try to reinstall the package through synaptic, check the log first to see what was installed, [09:48] Arv3n: what exactly is the problem? Try and make sense this time [09:48] ntnhan: 1. don't use telnet, it's very insecure, encourage people to use ssh instead. 2. install telnetd [09:48] hi,after i input username and password login ,no sound ,the screen freeze .anybody know how [09:49] Fryguy--: my client wants to do so [09:49] jian: take a look ar /var/log and see if there is anything noteworthy [09:49] ng0L synaptic > file >history> todays date [09:49] i search the google,launchpad.net ,ubuntuforum ,no found [09:50] with SSH is simle to put list of users after AllowUsers in /etc/sshd/sshconfig [09:50] but I dont know how to do with telnet [09:50] any help? [09:50] ntnhan: should be pretty much the same [09:51] where synaptic? koshari [09:51] ntnhan: plenty of information here http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+install+telnetd&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [09:51] When I boot, all the processes that are started are echo'd to the screen twice then i hangs and doesn't finish loading -- anyone mind helping me troubleshoot? this was after a random reboot--nothing new installed [09:52] thx fryguy, I'll check that [09:52] ng0L menu > sysytem > admin [09:52] ntnhan: 1. tel him its pretty useless to to this over telnet since its extremely insecure [09:52] okay [09:52] ubunubi: what specifically happens when it hangs? [09:53] ifreball: my clients don't use it for PC [09:53] some special devices need to run it [09:53] ubunubi: does it look like it tries to start up gui and fails and hangs at a black screen, does it just stay at the screen with all of the text and not do anything, or what? [09:53] ubunubi: it says fglrx is either already installed (or compiled?) for this kernel..then just sits there...but i've installed nothing since i had last rebooted [09:53] ubunubi: what happens if you hit ctrl-alt-f1 [09:54] (use the ctrl and alt on left side of keyboard, sometimes it matters) [09:54] ntnhan: devices that you can nontheless customize telnet on them, or are you talking about the ability to telnet _out_ of the machine? [09:54] fryguy :: i don't know but i can try... if i ctrl_alt_delete at that point it goes through the reverse process of shutting down the processes it started before it hung [09:54] ntnhan: What exactly are you trying to do? [09:54] fryguy :: so it's not truly frozen just...not moving forward [09:54] LSD|Ninja: not that the guy is in here anymore, but wouldn't formatting the drive and changing the partition table to a GPT/MBR hybrid fix it [09:54] making ubuntu installable with osx [09:54] MFP - multiple function peripheral [09:54] * GPT heard his name... oh, that. Nevermind. [09:54] one quick question Fryguy-- should I include the Section "Extensions" for any reason? [09:55] hey guys [09:55] hah [09:55] the last bit, not in my current file [09:55] jyoseph: the composite extension is important [09:55] my wireless stopped working after a recent update [09:55] oh, ok cool [09:55] jyoseph: if you care about compiz [09:55] after some searching i foudn this: [09:55] what file controls all the processes that are started while the splash screen is up?? [09:55] * Just ditch bcmwl from nic-restricted udeb. === dstan is now known as ds|tan [09:55] does anyone know what that means? [09:55] koshari: Installed the following packages: [09:55] nvidia-glx (1:96.43.05+2.6.24.13-19.44) [09:55] koshari: this is what i have installed. [09:56] shiftshift: I don't know, I have no idea wtf his problem actually was. Every time he described it, it was different - not to mention that it didn't seem directly related to Ubuntu at all [09:56] ajoneil: it means your driver hasn't been updated to work with a new kernel you installed probably. Follow whatever directions you installed previously to install the driver and reinstall it [09:56] LSD|Ninja: dude was a bit of an ass to me to be honest, haha [09:56] Fryguy--: i did a fresh install of hardy and it just worked - after the update it now doesnt [09:57] Fryguy--: Here's what I ended up with: http://pastebin.com/d78a5c64b [09:57] ajoneil: so google some directions on how to install your wireless driver and install them again [09:57] Good morning. Silly question, if I may. Is there an online install for Ubuntu, like for CentOS? Or another "smart" way to install on a machine with no DVD drive? [09:57] forget the out of place slash there [09:57] Brandano: no DVD, but a CD? [09:57] could someone explain to me what cat /dev/urandom does ? [09:57] LSD|Ninja: yup [09:57] "cat /dev/urandom" [09:58] ntnhan: if I understand correctly, you have some kind of a hardware device that can telnet to machines, and you want to limit the users that can access the ubuntu machine from this device? [09:58] nvidia-glx (1:96.43.05+2.6.24.13-19.44) that's what i have installed for my nvidia card driver [09:58] Brandano: download the desktop CD [09:58] Brandano, ubuntu only needs a CD to install [09:58] jyoseph: give it a try I guess [09:58] ok :) [09:58] un_dave: it's a block device that spits out random data [09:58] un_dave: its a random number generator [09:58] LSD|Ninja, magnetron thanks. /me is mainly a Fedora user... [09:58] Brandano: The Desktop CD will get the base system up and running and from there you can install everything you need (tip: start with ubuntu-restricted-extras) online from there [09:58] what were the two commands to get kubuntu from gnome? [09:59] How do you share folders in ubuntu to my friend who is running red hat.. [09:59] CostaRicanQuaker: apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [09:59] Ububegin: set up NFS [09:59] Ububegin: google "ubuntu nfs" plenty of documentation available [09:59] i am getting an error when i try to open links in xchat: Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers//enabled": Can't have two slashes (/) in a row [09:59] FryGuy--: I want to keep gnome [09:59] Fryguy--: ive tried installing the b43 drivers, but to no luck. it was using the wl drivers before i think, which i cant find anything on any additional setup that needs to be done for [09:59] i recently uninstalled firefox from package manager [10:00] CostaRicanQuaker: explain [10:00] Fryguy-- would it be bad to run that command for any reason ? [10:00] CostaRicanQuaker: kde and gnome and 2 separate things [10:00] im in gutsy gibbon [10:00] un_dave: no [10:00] Ububegin: you need to decide which protocol you want to use, if you are really new to this, use either Samba or SSH which are supported from the GUI tools. [10:00] CostaRicanQuaker: then just install kubuntu-desktop, and you'll have them both [10:00] FryGuy--: is htis page safe for me to follow http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde ? [10:00] CostaRicanQuaker: yes [10:00] Fryguy--: please help me to set nvidia card driver, i installed it but it goes wrong like my ubuntu dont supprt my vga card. [10:00] hey hey [10:00] anyone know a good howto on a the best way to partition a linux desktop [10:00] how do i make my own install of firefox - without the use of the package manager - the default for links in xchat? [10:01] ng0L: ask a question and I answer it if i know [10:01] hello can anyone help me out? [10:01] thedefender: 10-15gb for /, a couple gb for swap, and whatever else you have leftover for /home [10:01] proximas: ask a question, don't ask to ask [10:01] how can i make a duplicate of a directory in the same directory? [10:02] Fryguy--: k, will do so now... [10:02] yousif111: ? [10:02] Fryguy: what about /boot [10:02] heard it was good [10:02] yousif111: easiest way is to make it outside of the directory and then move it in [10:02] fryguy: when i ctrl alt f1'd at the hang..it said /script/init-bottom. done. and sat there instead [10:02] thedefender: it doesn't need to be separate. If you insist on making it separate, 256mb should be plenty [10:02] is it possible to recompile programs to be used with a different processor? [10:02] FryGuy--: can you check out this page and tell me if it's safe for me to follow, i want to mount my ntsf partition [10:03] horizxon: I suggest taking a look at this, to compile your own package... http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Build_Documentation unless that is not what you want [10:03] Fryguy: i thought there is another way. but this is indeed the best thing to do. Thank you [10:03] proximas: of course, that's a large part of the point of source code [10:03] proximas, unless you have compiled those programs with specific optimizations, you shouldn't need to recompile them [10:03] fryguy: why is it suggested [10:03] Fryguy--: In hardware drivers section it was nvidia check (unable) status(Not in use) you told me to check to enable the driver. Ubuntu itself required to download nvidia driver then it also needed to restart to make it working fine. After i restarted the Ubuntu, I think my nvidia card gone. I don't even have 3D accerlerator support + 1024*768 is not available. [10:03] yousif111: there very well may be another way, and there may even be a way to do it as a single line command, but it's not worth the effort imo :) [10:04] thedefender: it was recommended back in the day when computers sucked at dual booting [10:04] shiftshift: i opened firefox and had it running in the background and when i clicked that link you gave me it opened in it - which is what i want [10:04] thedefender: it's been a non-issue now for years, and there's no reason to make /boot separate [10:04] Fryguy--: seems like its not as easy as Windows.. :( .. Do we have to setup NFS server and client etc.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [10:04] it still wont work if the browser wasnt open already [10:04] thedefender: unless you are doing very esoteric things, and you'd know you are doing those and know you need a /boot already [10:04] Ububegin: it's the best way yes [10:04] horizxon: and you're using xchat? [10:05] Fryguy--: its the best way... so is there any easier way... :) [10:05] yeah [10:05] Ububegin: it's pretty straightforward, you install nfs server, add an entry to exports, and then you can mount that export anywhere using nfs [10:05] Ububegin, you can use samba also [10:05] Fryguy: even simpler way is doing it with file manager but i m trying to do everything in command lin [10:05] Ububegin: nfs is really straightforward and easier to use. It's a lot easier than setting up samba IMO [10:05] Ububegin, or just the traditional ftp server/ftp client [10:05] Fryguy: damn, the box im on right now has 4 gig dedicated to boot [10:05] joaopinto: isnt samba for windows.. i have installed nfs already [10:05] thedefender: lol [10:05] thedefender: i'm sure you are using like 25mb of that [10:05] thedefender: 100mb at the most [10:05] Ububegin, no, you can salso use samba, for lin 2 lin [10:06] Fryguy--: answer my question :D [10:06] thanks [10:06] ng0L: uh, you didn't ask a question [10:06] which log is the boot process kept in? [10:06] Fryguy--: scroll up you will see/ [10:06] joaopinto: isnt there any GUI for samba/nfs.... Can i just right click a folder and share the folder across the nfs network [10:06] Hi, does anyone here know some kind of parental control program for ubuntu ? [10:06] Ububegin: dmesg [10:07] err sorry bad nickcomplete [10:07] Fryguy--: I need to enable my nvidia card back [10:07] Ububegin: dmesg [10:07] I have a boot problem too. I installed Ubuntu on a external USB harddrive and the main HD has XP on it. But when i boot the computer without the external HD, XP does not boot [10:07] # ROMDir = ./roms only is in effect if i get rid of #? [10:07] ng0L: which driver are you using right now [10:07] proximas: which drive did you install grub on [10:07] Ububegin, for samba there is, folder, properties, share [10:07] Fryguy--: dmesg .. :S [10:07] Fryguy--: I dunno :( [10:08] i dont actually know fryguy. I think i probably installed grub on the external HD [10:08] proximas: that's because the grub bootloader file is on your external disk but your bootloader started is on the MBR of your main disk [10:08] ng0L: if you go to system | screens and graphics, and try to reconfigure your card, what happens [10:08] can i resize a ntfs partition if it has a boot flag [10:08] joaopinto: think will try samba then... :) [10:08] proximas: so google recovering and reinstalling grub, there's plenty of documentation available [10:08] thedefender, yes [10:08] thedefender: yes [10:08] Ububegin: just set up nfs, it's easier [10:09] proximas: there are some guids for that on the ubuntu forums, the best way is to restore the XP bootloader and then edit the boot.ini file, just search on ubuntuforums.org [10:09] well darn, im running into a bad sector problem on a hardy laptop install, its for a buddy to use for mobile DSP [10:09] no go on the last attempt [10:09] fryguy whats MBR [10:09] Fryguy--: screen resolution? well the resolution can be set only 2 type 800*600 and 840*480 [10:09] master boot record [10:09] proximas: master boot record, it's where grub (or windows bootloader) goes [10:10] cool thangs guys [10:10] Fryguy--: i dont mind spending the time to set up.. But do the pple accessing my PC will want to spent time to configure their to NFS..is another question [10:10] Fryguy--: In hardware drivers there is no more nvidia card, i think it gone. [10:10] ng0L: what about changing the graphics card you are using. it's one of the other menus there, should be pretty obvious which one [10:10] ng0L: ok, so open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf and pastebin it [10:10] Ububegin: mounting nfs is trivial [10:10] Somebody knows what happening with http://packages.ubuntu.com/ ? It doesn't load at all (overloaded?). [10:11] Ububegin: and it's just as easy to do nfs as it is a samba mount [10:11] easier in most cases [10:11] fryguy: any other suggestions about looking into my boot issue? oddly, the error presents itself even when i select an older kernel from my grub menu list..and all those were working fine previously (They have the double echo issue also and the same fglrx is already installed for this kernel) hang [10:11] fryguy-- dude seriously, thanks a ton [10:11] skyrider: it has been overloading a lot the past few weeks [10:11] ubunubi: no idea [10:11] jyoseph: it works?

[10:13] i love randomly rebooting a system without making any system changes then not being able to boot >.> [10:13] Can someone please lend a hand with configuring exim4, it seems it's not reading /etc/mailname for some reason, and hence I can't send any mail locally or remotely from the box because exim (correctly) fails to resolve "etc_mailname" or "ETC_MAILNAME" as mail hosts http://pastie.org/226963 [10:14] skyrider, ? [10:14] ubunubi, hack!? [10:14] BernardB: sorry, that message was not for you :( [10:14] roswarrior: seriously, what is your problem [10:14] yo! [10:14] Hmm. [10:14] ubunubi: I'm guessing you installed some updates over a period of time, maybe a kernel update, without rebooting your computer, and didn't realize it [10:14] skyrider, ah okay [10:14] anyone here happens to have experience on mactel? [10:15] rawler: ask a question, don't ask to ask [10:15] well, I don't have a question, I have a problem.. ;) [10:15] rawler: you don't care if somebody here has used a mactel, you care if they can answer your question, so just save our time and be direct and ask the question you really want to ask [10:15] fryguy:: the thing popped up today to update from 2.4.6-18 to 2.4.6-19..but i have rebooted 2-3 times since installing that and those boots are fine [10:15] cd [10:15] sorry [10:16] shoot away rawler [10:16] I've fried the boot on my Intel Mac, trying to remove just macosX..

[10:17] shiftshift: a gray folder with a question-mark blinking.. [10:17] rawler: that's right, they don't use x86 style partitiongs, you need to set up gpt or something along those lines to make it bootable by foreign operating systems [10:17] also see rEFIt [10:17] yeah, gpt/mbr hybrid === arashO|o is now known as arashO|lunch [10:18] Fryguy--: well, according to http://homepages.tesco.net/J.deBoynePollard/FGA/efi-boot-process.html, Mac doesn't really use EFI either? [10:18] i'm actually getting ready to go through this soon, going to be putting another operating system on my mac at work [10:18] good morning [10:19] as in, they don't scan for bootable partitions during startup, they just have a static pointer in NVRAM, pointing to MacOSX?

Since 1st of July due to ICQ protocol changes old versions of pigdin can not connect to ICQ servers.

[10:42] www.ubuntu.org (hint: it's not) [10:42] what is player for *swf files.. Totem Movie player even after downloading the codecs cant play shit... [10:43] Ububegin: I recommend switching to mplayer (specifically smplayer) for all media playback [10:43] Ububegin: VLC can play it [10:43] Ububegin: swf is flash.. the browser should be able to play it.. perhaps even vlc [10:43] Slart: VLC is able to play it, I use it daily [10:44] manishS: ah..even flash games and such? sweet [10:44] lost connection [10:44] ___thomax: any idea? [10:44] Slart: never tried those, but maybe it should as I once played flash games in GOMPLayer on windows [10:45] <___thomax> wild_oscar: say what? [10:45] Slart: If its so, then VLC should also have the capability [10:45] ___thomax: about the http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=814079 issue [10:45] not really, vlc is not expected to support flash [10:45] with kernel 19 [10:45] or is it ? [10:45] The GNOME Pilot Setup Assistant writes: "The setup assistant will guide you through getting your PalmOS device ready to synchronize with your desktop system." What is meant by 'PalmOS device'? [10:46] hello [10:46] manishS: hehe.. because you once play flash games on GOMPlayer on windows vlc should handle flash games too??.. I don't really understand the logic behind that.. but I'm off to try it =) [10:46] joaopinto: I dont know its supposed .but it plays, not sure of games [10:46] th rear speaker doesn't run on ubuntu [10:46] ? [10:46] AwaDoV: what are you playing back for audio [10:46] manishS, Slart , Fryguy-- : thanks ..just settled for the internal browser of my IDE.. btw, how to create *.swf files in ubuntu... AFAIK, it is a Adobe product.. [10:46] an .swf is not a media movie, it's a flash file [10:46] Slart: I mean since a media player can play flash games then VLC is also a media player, so it should be also, just hope [10:46] hi [10:46] does anyone know how to setup a base redirect to lfe through pulseaudio? [10:47] Ububegin: check out HaXe, or adobe flex [10:47] amarok [10:47] does some one uses compiz fusion 0.7.6? [10:47] manishS: oh..

[10:48] mp3 [10:48] cheers, icqnumber [10:48] I'll try it [10:49] AwaDoV: mp3 is only recorded in 2-channel stereo, there is no surround content in mp3 files [10:49] Fryguy--, what was my question, becaue 0.7.4 is the default version [10:49] I have problems with enhanced zoom not working since upgrading to hardy [10:49] so I'll probably give it a try [10:49] then what type are recorded in 4-channel stereo [10:49] ? [10:49] AwaDoV: none [10:49] can anyone advice opensource webserver statistic tool for LAMp ? [10:50] AwaDoV: all CD/redbookaudio/etc are 2 channel stereo. The only things in surround are movies [10:50] AwaDoV: and sound for games is often available in surround [10:50] awstats, analog [10:50] wild_oscar, mine works good but 0.7.6 provides extra futures, and i m using it on opensuse 11, it is awesome [10:50] the movies too work in2-channel only [10:50] ? [10:50] AwaDoV: if you'd like to ruin your sonic experience and matrix rears in to stereo playback, there are plugins available for various music players that do this [10:51] like what ? [10:51] AwaDoV: make sure you are playing back the correct soundtrack and have your media player configured correctly in that case [10:51] and ? [10:51] AwaDoV: as you can tell by the comment "ruin sonic experience", i don't use them, so i don't know abou tthem [10:51] wild_oscar, and this 0.7.6 is not officially supported, so i thought i ask here some one who already gave it a try [10:52] many thanx fryguy [10:52] CYA [10:52] hello how to detect my wireless router? i tried to setup my wireless (my wireless name is jigpe and pass is jigpe12345) but still wont work...its wpa [10:53] jigp: probably need to configure wpa_supplicant.

[11:24] is there a way to prevent gnome from starting and launch specific fullscreen app immediately after X start? [11:24] Jaseem: what happens if you type dhclient eth1 [11:25] without window manager at all [11:25] interactive: you can change your X session to use a ~/.xinitrc file, which will do whatever you want [11:25] This appears [11:25] Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.6 [11:25] Copyright 2004-2007 Internet Systems Consortium.

[11:26] ubuntu server? i hardly think that ubuntu server compares to freebsd in any measurable fashion [11:26] Fryguy-- like you are advising to use debian or freebsd [11:26] yes [11:26] When I entered sudo dhclient eth1 a list appears. [11:27] Fryguy--: is there something wrong with Ubuntu server? [11:27] Jaseem: ok, and then what happens if you go to a website on your browser [11:27] Chousuke: no [11:27] Fryguy--: and why would freebsd be better than ubuntu server? [11:27] Nothing. page cannot be displayed. [11:27] SliMM: much better more robust package auditing, much more secure by default configuration, more streamlined patchsets for various servers that are in use, the ability to use jails, pf over iptables [11:27] DJones: yes, I've done all that but the problem is that there IS NO ethernet card found, so none of that works [11:28] Jaseem: ok, in terminal type dhclient eth0 then [11:28] * CostaRicanQuaker wants to eventually learn freebsd in the long run [11:28] SliMM: i guess I can keep going on [11:28] Fryguy--: why is FreeBSD's default configuration more secure? [11:28] i tried that. Then something like dhcdiscover appears. [11:28] Jaseem: and then what? [11:28] Fryguy -- : my main purpose for server is to audit the sites visited by the workstations or have logs, can block illegal downloads, load balancing and firewall like squid... i think i tried firestarter but lack of features... [11:28] Fryguy--: isn't that openbsd? [11:28] SliMM: openbsd and freebsd, yes [11:28] It ends with a failure. [11:28] Fryguy--: also, the ports system is very different from APT, it's incorrect to just say one is better than the other. === arashO|lunch is now known as arashO| [11:29] Chousuke: i never made a comment saying one was better than the other [11:29] Joe__: i'm afraid I've only seen the ubuntu info on that website, I've not used the eeepc, so I'm going to be able to suggest anything else, i'm afraid you'll have to ask again in the channel [11:29] are any of you guys using Pidgin for IRC? [11:29] well, ow should I partition my hard disk for ubuntu server? [11:29] how* [11:29] Jaseem: use "sudo dhclient eth0" [11:29] woody87, xhcat here [11:30] K, i may have to restart.

[11:30] Joe__ have a look at the ubuntu wiki, eeeuser wiki and the eeeubunutu distro [11:30] Fryguy--: I use FreeBSD myself, though. [11:30] hi all [11:30] SliMM: if you are worried at all about having people attack the system, make sure /tmp and /var are separate partitiongs from / (tmp can be small, 1 gig at the most is fine in most cases), and /var needs to be somewhat sizable, especially if you plan on keeping web content in there [11:30] I am trying to install gtk2 [11:30] Chousuke: as do i [11:31] so that I can then make drQueue [11:31] Jaseem: no [11:31] dns53 yes, I've looked in all of those places and only see others have the same issue but no fixes [11:31] Fryguy-- : do you think ubuntu server 8 can audiit the site visits like monitor the sites that workstations visited, block sites, block downloads,cache,load balancing and filtering? [11:31] I have searched in synaptic package manager, but it does not have the gtk2 dev headers [11:31] can anyone help? [11:31] jigp: probably not all of that [11:32] jigp: that's a lot of work for one server, but I can't see a reason it couldn't do that. [11:32] dmseg: what will happen if I type killall `pidof dhcpd`? [11:32] Fryguy--: I could've just installed Debian, and it would've worked just as well, but I decided to try FreeBSD for fun :P [11:32] FryGuy what should i do instead of restarting? [11:32] dhcpd will stop and the router will assign you an ip!! [11:32] so [11:33] But that will ruin my windows connection, won [11:33] Jaseem: you pretty much never have to restart linux [11:33] Joe__ ok, we know that the linux that comes with the eeepc works so you could try installing that [11:33] jaseem: talking to many people will only confuse you [11:33] SliMM: the size that var needs to be depends on what you are doing with the system === lordmortis is now known as lordmortis|away [11:33] vire [11:33] jaseem: you are running linux now??

[11:34] does anyone here have experience with drQueue? [11:34] jigp: whichever you want [11:34] jigp: i recommend freebsd for all server stuff, unequivicably [11:34] Fryguy--: perhaps a "soldat" dedicated server" [11:34] jigp: you'll still have to learn how to set up the server yourself. [11:34] yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [11:34] jigp: freebsd handbook is quite good [11:34] jigp: they all can do it, but they have different tools and different strengths and weaknesses.

[12:18] Ok [12:18] alphaman1101, Jaseem : I just googled: UT300r2u ubuntu [12:19] jaseem, modems are not supported real good with ubuntu.. Anyone want to correct me here?

[12:19] gordonjcp, and if what you're saying is right, what is the solution to that? [12:20] argh! not supposed to be here! bai [12:20] Joe__ well the best idea is download from another box to the cache, when you get to installing them manually it will tell you what you have missing, not ideal but workable [12:20] Jaseem: I told you you had a router [12:20] dns53 yes, but if the other box already has it it won't download it to the cache, so I have to remove it so I can download it again [12:20] I am confused a bit, what should I do?

[12:34] frogging101: what you do is find out the device name of your Windows partition (with sudo fdisk -l probably). It'll be called something like /dev/sda1.

I had to check as I was certain that nick reminded me of someone famous ;) [12:39] soldats, but doesn't it depend on the sound driver that I have? [12:39] dns53: What have I to substitute for 'site'?

I'd like to use the Report bug entry in Help menu to fill relevant information for me, however, it apparently only have the option to report directly to .kde.org. Also despite having apport-qt installed, apport doesn't kick in (kcrash does). How can I make apport-qt catch the crash, so I can easilly report directly to launchpad? [12:43] Bogaurd the alternate install and server install are basically the same with different sets of packages [12:43] brb [12:44] philsf: you can manually add it to launchpad [12:44] dns53: hmm, alright. so it's possible on the server cd too? [12:44] definatly [12:44] dns53: excellent, thanks - I'll give it a go! [12:44] I have an acer aspire 5520 with Ubuntu Hardy. Recently (since about an hour ago) i noticed that when i plug my AC adapter in, it flashes the power leds and battery led. I would like to know if this is a known issue or if something is really wrong. [12:45] qemu kernal image is iso file? no? [12:45] hischild: thats usually the sign of a faulty power supply or faulty DC jack (where the AC adapter plugs in to) [12:45] soldats: thanks, I know that. But the "report bug" option auto-catches several important information (versions, and environment) I might miss if I'm to write them all down myself [12:45] hischild, have you reseated the battery? [12:46] trust programs, not people [12:46] How can I mount an iso to use in wine? [12:46] anyone know why i cant chmod u+s even if im sudoed? it works on the same file when moved to my home folder but as soon as i move it back to /usr it tell me setting permissions: operation not permitted [12:46] how can I connect to a specific port on ssh? [12:46] soldats: it's the same jack that all the pc's here run on, but i'm worried about the PSU. [12:46] is there anyway to get a list of all of a packages dependencies? [12:46] DistroJockey: not as far as i know. At least not on purpose. [12:47] DrLame: man mount|grep loop [12:47] !wireless [12:47] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:47] Joe__ the easiest way is use aptitude as it shows the dependencies [12:47] hischild: it may be the DC jack then, not sure unless i can see it. if you wiggle it does it stay constant anf flash randomly [12:47] dns53 unless you already have it installed [12:47] ty Kartagis [12:47] hischild, if it does it before the OS starts, I'd shut it down, pull the AC out and then take the battery out, the reverse the process [12:47] Anyone tried "Entertainer"? I don't know how to run it! [12:47] Joe__, apt-cache show package [12:48] any idea how can I add kbfx applet to my panel ? when I go to "Add to Panel" , I don't find kbfx there.. ;/ [12:48] hischild, then reverse^ [12:48] soldats: it flashes at a constant rate. If it was only the battery led i'd suspect that it was loose, yet all the lights that are normally on start to flash. [12:48] Is there anyway I can embed images into an oowriter document that are currently just links? [12:48] When I booted up today, pulseaudio is all of a sudden broken... [12:49] Joe__ but have aptitude up on both computers and compare the list of packages that you need based on what build essentials requires [12:49] what application can i use as a serial terminal ? [12:49] joaopinto: you just made my life so much easier! [12:49] sinan1, ive used minicon befor .. ages ago. [12:49] DistroJockey: Hmm. I took it out about 15 min ago, let the whole laptop cool down ... i think the PSU of it doesn't like to run hot as it was fairly warm. At this time it stopped flashing, but i'll be sure to monitor it more closely. [12:49] sinan1, there may be others in the repos [12:49] hischild: thats normally a bad battery IIRC or a bad DC jack but do what DistroJockey said forst [12:49] i have one folder i want to create ISO of that folder, can anyone help me code or source code for that [12:49] Joe__, please note that those dependencies, may have other dependencies ;) [12:49] I tried it, I got some errors like: amixer: Mixer hw:0 load error: No such file or directory after shutting down the device and starting it .. but something is wrong with my video card now, can't start any app! [12:49] My router is configured for windows, how can i use it in ubunty. [12:49] oh wow qemu loaded my cd iso image [12:50] Dr_willis: i just tried minicom, i can't figure how to make it start a connection, it says "offline" in the bottom right corner! [12:50] joaopinto: Already figured that out with my painful method of download package, save to USB, unmount, put in laptop, try to install... damn it, another dependancy... [12:50] hischild, soldats : you can also try running it without the battery installed (just on AC) if that doesn't work [12:50] soldats: i just replugged it all and stuffed it back in ... it seems to be better now, but it sure doesn't like warmth (it's way to warm over here :S) [12:50] Anyone to help? I have asked the question. [12:50] DistroJockey: that's what i did as well, which seems to move the flashing lights away. [12:51] Joe__, there is a webpage which helps downloading dependencies from windows, let me check [12:51] hischild: a bad scenario is that if it was doing it a while it may have done some bad things to the heat sync [12:51] Jaseem: define "configured for windows", that doesn't say much. [12:51] I installed ndisgtk, then removed it and now wireless does not appear in network manager and iwconfig doesn't see my wireless card (although it is still present in lspci) help please! [12:51] soldats: ye, yet i'm hesistant to open it ... [12:51] hischild, no no flashing with no battery? [12:51] so no^ [12:51] hischild: well good luck [12:51] can't find it anymore [12:52] Can anyone guess why my sound is broken? Youtube works, but i set amarok to pulse, alsa or oss with no other sound program running and it cannot access the sound card. If I try to open the pulseaudio controls it says it can't connect to the server. I already tried "/etc/init.d/pulseaudio start" [12:52] soldats: no more flashing lights without batt yes [12:52] bad batt then id think [12:52] joaopinto: Is this the site you were looking for http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [12:52] hischild, you could try cleaning the contacts on battery and socket, if that doesn't help, sounds like you need a new battery [12:52] DJones, no, it's a site which does the dependency tracking [12:53] system-config-printer closes itself after opening and it spits 2 screens of errors. any ideas why? [12:53] it's not an official ubuntu related site [12:53] DistroJockey: i need a new one anyway, as this battery only lasts about an hour if i run some more heavy programs upping cpu usage. [12:53] sharperguy: try restart instead of start other than that close everything and try again. ive heard p[ulseaudio hogs the audio drive so only 1 app can use it [12:53] would be really nice if the package installer just told me everything I was missing... isntead of 1 at a time [12:53] hischild, ahh, *nods* [12:53] hischild: id suggest getting a new one then [12:53] joaopinto: ok, i know i'd used packages.ubuntu in the past to search for an app with a full package being listed at the bottom of the page [12:54] hello i cannot connect to wireless router netgear... i tried all keys wep,wpa,wpa2 etc and none key still i cannot connect...i have al updates but still i cannot connect wireless.... [12:54] I just mounted partition [12:54] tried opening it [12:54] sinan1, check the minicom docs.. its got some way to pop up a comnfig menu you set the serial port settings. Beenyears since i last ised ut [12:54] DistroJockey: it's at 80% of maximum according to gnome. I'm gonna look for one of those extended batteries lasting longer. [12:54] i mounted it on gnome [12:54] !enter | CostaRicanQuaker [12:54] CostaRicanQuaker: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:54] the 'swap caps lock with esc' feature under layout options in keyboard prefs doesn't work for me...it makes caps lock act as escape as well and disables the escape key [12:54] What's the command for listing the computers hardware in terminal? [12:54] i just mounted the ntsf partition on gnome rebooted and logged in on xfce now i tried accessing partition and it says [12:54] MDKSIGN, what hardware, specifically? [12:55] error: device /dev/hda1 is not removable [12:55] error: could not execute pmount [12:55] soldats, the pulseaudio control says connection refused still. Not sure what programs you mean to close [12:55] MDKSIGN: lsmod perhaps or maybe hwdinfo [12:55] what do i do? [12:55] kingfishr: Audio [12:55] CostaRicanQuaker, iif you mounted it with the commands from that guide you posted.. it 'should' be mounted to /media/c - manually. you are bypassing the automounting feature of the desktops [12:55] LOL .... Ubottu = Grammar police! [12:55] MDKSIGN, lspci [12:55] sharperguy: everything using sound, not sure though. i gotta lave so i hope someone else can help [12:55] MDKSIGN, perhaps lspci | grep -i audio [12:55] kingfishr: Thanks. [12:56] soldats, ok thanks anyway [12:56] I installed ndisgtk, then removed it and now wireless does not appear in network manager and iwconfig doesn't see my wireless card (although it is still present in lspci) help please! [12:56] Dr_willis: how do i get there? and what do you mean by bypasing the automounting feature of the desktops i just cliecked on a link that said computer and it hasd it listed as a hardd rive [12:57] hello i cannot connect to wireless router netgear... i tried all keys wep,wpa,wpa2 etc and none key still i cannot connect...i have al updates but still i cannot connect wireless....

[12:57] hello i cannot connect to wireless router netgear... i tried all keys wep,wpa,wpa2 etc and none key still i cannot connect...i have al updates but still i cannot connect wireless.... [12:58] Kalamansi, Spamming here makes people less likely to respond to you or help [12:58] when I hit CTRL+P on any application, I get Filter "pstoufr2cpca for printer Canon not available. no such file or directory. what to do? [12:58] applications>accessories>computer icon === lordmortis|away is now known as lordmortis [12:58] ok then [12:58] CostaRicanQuaker, That guide dodent really teach you much. it just gave some commands for a specific case. You may want to tell the channel what you are wanting to do 'exactly' with all this mounting. If a drive has a entry in fstab. that takes priority over the automounting system. [12:58] 1,301 people yet no reply?? [12:59] Kalamansi: to connect to my netgear we had to set it up with no password [12:59] Kalamansi: then use the MAC address list to control access [12:59] yes have you tried that? [12:59] I want to be able to access my ntsf partitions from ubuntu regardless of which DE i-mon xubuntu ubuntu or kubuntu [12:59] llamo : yes i did that without password but still i cannot connect...thanks for the reply :) [12:59] Dr_willis [12:59] Kalamansi: np, if no password doesn't work... i'm out of advice, sry [13:00] llamo : i dont see any MAC address options in the network [13:00] CostaRicanQuaker, I put a proper 'ntfs-3g' entry in my fstab to mount the windows partitions where i want them to go. That guide dident even do that. It just gave you a command to mount them. that wont survive a reboot. [13:00] hi, I'm using kontact in gnome, and I found a reproductible crash bug. I'd like to use the Report bug entry in Help menu to fill relevant information for me, however, it apparently only have the option to report directly to .kde.org. Also despite having apport-qt installed, apport doesn't kick in (kcrash does). How can I make apport-qt catch the crash, so I can easilly report directly to launchpad? [13:00] CostaRicanQuaker, for example in my case in my /etc/fstab file i have the following for my first hard drive ---> # sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 /dev/hdb1 /media/c [13:00] llamo : but in win xp pro with just single click i can view all network wireless....why..still version 8 ubuntu a fail OS? [13:01] how do i actually do this? i just went to home folder, media, C, and there's nothing there [13:01] llamo : i have no problem connecting wireless when i use 7.04 ubuntu desktop [13:01] CostaRicanQuaker, beause that guide gave commands you MUST rerun each time you reboot. and it mounted to /media/c not home/media/c [13:01] Kalamansi: does ubuntu recognize your hardware properly [13:01] how do i get to media c then? [13:02] hi! is someone here familiar with programming PAM by any chance [13:02] Kalamansi: no idea, but it works for me in ubuntu 8. or at least it did [13:02] CostaRicanQuaker, run the command it gave again and mount it to /media/c is one way. [13:02] i have problem connecting to wireless networks using wicd. anyont help? [13:02] Kalamansi: i have my own problems right now :) [13:02] nicku : i dont know. but i downloaded all 219 updates yesterday [13:02] CostaRicanQuaker, that guide is rather.. poorly done. [13:02] check dmesg [13:02] hello [13:02] hello [13:02] Dr_willis: i just opened the terminal what do i have to enter i'll copy and paste it so my partition on ntsf stays mounted and is accessible from any of the DEs [13:03] llamo : yeah but setting without pass your wireless router is not good...but still if i set to no password, still i cannot connect... :( [13:03] hello [13:03] CostaRicanQuaker, as i said earlier you edit the /etc/fstab file and put a proper entry in it for the drive. [13:03] Dr_willis, the fstab line you mentioned doesn't look much like an fstab line [13:03] anyone: how can i make a file so that it runs as root if an ordinary user runs it? [13:03] i want to ask if its there any drivers for Laptop HP 6720 [13:03] When I upgraded to 8.04 my volume settings went way down; I had to go into alsamixer in terminal to turn it up, how come? Just me? [13:03] Kalamansi: can you connect to the router without password [13:03] Kalamansi: no problem without password if you use the mac address list to control access [13:03] DistroJockey, i just cut/pasted it from my laptop.. :) i think it works.. lets see [13:03] how do i do it? [13:03] i want to ask if its there any drivers for Laptop HP 6720 [13:04] sudo /etc/fstab? [13:04] nicku: i can connect wired. im using ibm lenovo [13:04] hey there, i'm running gutsy on my server and have a problem with php5-gd. it is installed, but "php -v" gives me: "PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/gd.so' - libgd.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0" [13:04] CostaRicanQuaker, No.. fstab is a FILE YOU EDIT. not a command you run. [13:04] the gd.so file is in fact there [13:04] i want to ask if its there any drivers for Laptop HP 6720 [13:04] DistroJockey, it works here on my laptop. [13:04] !sudo [13:04] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [13:04] Dr_willis, # sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 /dev/hdb1 /media/c (is what I saw you paste) [13:04] Kalamansi: but you can't connect to the wireless even unsecured [13:04] how do i reinstall the ubuntu wireless drivers? [13:04] llamo : where is that located to set a MAC?i dont see "MAC settings" in wireless edit or network [13:04] DistroJockey, that came from his guide. [13:05] i want to ask if its there any drivers for Laptop HP 6720 [13:05] nicku : yes i cannot connect also without pass... [13:05] i want to ask if its there any drivers for Laptop HP 6720 [13:05] CostaRicanQuaker, you need to edit it as root - so -> gksu gedit /etc/fstab [13:05] Joker, What is not working? [13:05] Kalamansi: it seems that the problem is with your laptops wlan card [13:05] llamo : right click then disable..you cant uninstall it. [13:05] Gnome replacement for katapult, please. [13:05] Dr_willis, yeah, but you prefixed it with "for example in my case in my /etc/fstab file i have the following for my first hard drive ---> # sudo" [13:05] temoto-work, what is katapult ? [13:05] CostaRicanQuaker, you will want to add a line similer to ----> /dev/sda1 /media/VistaBoot ntfs-3g rw,uid=1000,dmask=000,fmask=003 0 0 [13:05] nicku : its lenovo ibm [13:06] DistroJockey, paste buffer may of gotten messed up. :) [13:06] joaopinto, it's a kde app launcher [13:06] Dr_willis, aye :) [13:06] Dr_willis@ mount: /dev/hda1 already mounted or /media/c busy [13:06] mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda1 is already mounted on /media/c [13:06] nicku : dual xp ubuntu. in xp i dont have problem connecting wireless.. [13:06] xel_ i wondered will all the devices work ? [13:06] Kalamansi: can you be more specific [13:06] joaopinto, like alt+f2 run app, but more gui [13:06] temoto-work, gnome-do is a VERY popular app launcher for gnome [13:06] CostaRicanQuaker, looks like its allready on /media/c then as its saying. [13:06] imb what ? [13:06] joaopinto, thanks. [13:06] nicku : i can connect in an instant using xp pro. [13:06] wireless nicku [13:06] so if i reboot and open with and of the DEs it will let me access it? [13:07] andi am on windows xp [13:07] CostaRicanQuaker, that guide i saw - does NOT NOT NOT. make the changes permenet. [13:07] I deleted my 'Desktop' folder not realising it's importance - how is a default set up configured? (so I can put it back) [13:07] Joker-, I sugest you try the Ubuntu CD in Live mode... that will boot into ubuntu off of the cd and whatever works on the live cd should exactly work the same way once installed [13:07] how do i make them permanent? [13:07] Kalamansi: for my netgear it's under Advanced->wireless settings->wireless care access list [13:07] CostaRicanQuaker, to have them auto-mounted at boot. you must edit the /etc/fstab file. [13:07] CostaRicanQuaker, as ive been saying. [13:07] Kalamansi: i believe that.. but it might be that ubuntu doesn't recognize the card properly [13:07] nicku : but in ubuntu its almost 5 hours still i cannot connect.i configured all keys to my router still i cannot connect even without key [13:07] hugh, mkdir ~/Desktop [13:07] CostaRicanQuaker, please pastebin your /etc/fstab [13:08] Kalamansi: what laptop do you have [13:08] CostaRicanQuaker, However.. I thought one did not need to edit the fstab now a days for NTFS drives to be accessable. [13:08] to edit the /etc/fstab file what do i do? and or how do i paste it here> [13:08] CostaRicanQuaker, i gave the command to edit the fstab file just earlier. [13:08] temoto-work: ah, I tried that but not with a capital 'D'. Where is it that reads that though? [13:08] xel_ thank u. does ubuntu support hp laptops ? [13:08] CostaRicanQuaker, sudo apt-get pastebinit | cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit [13:09] JokeR-, my HP laptop is running great with ubuntu [13:09] CostaRicanQuaker, sudo apt-get install pastebinit | cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit [13:09] llamo : ah ok. what MAC to put here? [13:09] JokeR-, its more of a matter of whats exactly in the laptop [13:09] CostaRicanQuaker, 2nd one rather [13:09] llamo : device name?MAc address?what to put there? [13:09] hugh, capital is important. I didn't understand the question about reading. [13:10] sebastian@sebastian:~$ sudo apt-get install pastebinit | cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit [13:10] bash: pastebinit: command not found [13:10] E: Couldn't find package pastebinit [13:10] sebastian@sebastian:~$ [13:10] CostaRicanQuaker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:10] !pastebin [13:10] 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) [13:10] Dr_willis im with windows now but whant to move on with ubuntu. i want to know if it works fine [13:10] llamo : Device name: anything? MAC address: 10.0.1.22? [13:10] temoto-work: i mean, what configuration file is it that specifies this 'Desktop' folder? [13:10] Joker-, Should be a problem at all have no worries about your data the live cd will not change anything on your hard drive.. [13:10] DistroJockey> ? [13:10] Kalamansi: figure out the mac address of your wireless card.. not sure how in linux [13:11] Kalamansi: device name=anything [13:11] Kalamansi: ifconfig gives mac address [13:11] xel_ okay thank u [13:11] hugh, i don't know for sure. I'm afraid it's hardcoded somewhere. [13:11] busy in here innit?! [13:11] CostaRicanQuaker, the following works fine for me: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit [13:11] temoto-work: thanks [13:11] Joker-, of course unless you like what you see and start the install [13:11] how can I syncrhonize the clock with the NTP Server? [13:12] from the command line [13:12] on Dapper [13:12] JokeR-: The best way of seeing whether it'll work is to download the livecd and just boot the machine up with the cd in in the drive, if it boots into ubuntu, you shouldn't have any problems, you could then go on to install from the same cd [13:12] nicku: any idea how to reinstall my ubuntu wireless drivers? i installed ndisgtk but then removed it and now it won't work [13:12] joeker-, then it would do some work on your HDD hehe :) [13:12] DistroJockey: i get this upon pasting sebastian@sebastian:~$ sudo apt-get install pastebinit | cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit [13:12] bash: pastebinit: command not found [13:12] E: Couldn't find package pastebinit [13:12] sebastian@sebastian:~$ === cappiz is now known as telep [13:12] How do I upgrade to kubuntu without having to install it and loose all my files?

[13:25] DistroJockey, note that one is a little customized for my 'first' (and only) user. :) [13:25] joaopinto, I have rolled out about 600 PCs with winxp, we had a 30 systems pilots, trust me, most of the headeaches were during the pilot phase [13:25] Dr_willis, yes, I noticed that :) [13:25] EduBuntu: Have your friend try a LiveCD. [13:26] ng0L, try #wineHQ [13:26] ops, talking to myself, was Joker :P [13:26] llamo : thanks..first time to know this and from you :) [13:26] Kalamans1: no idea, for some reasons it wasn't working with wep or wpa so just shut off the password and used MAC [13:26] llamo : hehe cool :) thanks [13:26] Pici:what is the module for eth???

Is there anybody who can get my ubuntu to use interenet? [13:26] Dr_willis, I hope the dmask and fmask are correct? [13:26] arvind_khadri: It depends on what hardware you have. [13:27] DistroJockey, They are working here. [13:27] Dr_willis, to use in this situation that is [13:27] Pici, ok if i have a intel card then?? [13:27] DistroJockey, i hate it when every file shows up executable.. :) i may not have that fixed yet. [13:27] llamo : you dont have server? [13:27] DistroJockey, i hate it when every file shows up executable.. :) still have that issue here.. not sure what umask to use. [13:27] llamo : do you have server? [13:28] i [13:28] xel_: i am on ubuntu [13:28] arvind_khadri: It still depends on the model [13:28] Kalamans1: no server [13:28] Dr_willis, I'm not up on my fstab. Would you mind helping CostaRicanQuaker get a decent entry in his fstab? Please? [13:28] Dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24703/ [13:28] i accidently rm /bin/bash instead of another one when trying to set up this install (it was a step in the install, except you were supposed to rm something else then create a link TO /bin/bash. can i just...download it? something other than reinstall [13:28] ng0L, join Chanel #wineHQ [13:28] DistroJockey, other then changing his /dev/ that line should work. [13:28] Pici, : intel 82557 [13:28] themime, better reinstall it [13:29] DistroJockey, /dev/sda1 /media/VistaBoot ntfs-3g rw,uid=1000,dmask=000,fmask=0222 0 0 [13:29] arvind_khadri: I dont know that module name off the top of my head [13:29] may be better. :) let me test that one [13:29] can it be, that /usr/lib/libgd.so.2 is missing in the libgd2 package? it is in noted in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgd2-xpm.list, but it is not installed [13:29] hello, i want to play the bridge, is there a client when use ubuntu linux?

[13:29] Jaseem: you need to configure your device as a router and configure it as a DHCP server. It's not really an issue that is appropriate to discuss here, as it is not Ubuntu-specific. [13:30] CostaRicanQuaker, sec [13:30] do i type that into the terminal? [13:30] Where can i discuss it then soundray. [13:30] Vous vous êtes séparé de votre Le dentifrice périmé. [13:30] Vous vous êtes séduit vous même en vous regardant dans le miroir ! [13:30] Wouhahaha quelle honte, tu augmentes de 2 Point(s) de Faiblesse ! [13:30] Vous avez perdu tous vos objets ! [13:30] Vous réssucitez, honteux, sur le monde 'Forêt (de perceuse) amazonienne'. [13:30] DistroJockey, ive been tweaking witht he umask for days on and off. can never seem to get the right one. Heck. one may not really need the ummask when using the UID= option [13:30] gnarpoint: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:30] Votre nouvelle âme_soeur est : nosferatu. [13:31] Jaseem: meet me in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:31] arvind_khadri: Your computer should have detected it... anyway it looks like it should be using the e100 module. [13:31] Pici, its actually somewhere else :) thanks anyways [13:31] morning droogies [13:32] what is rc-update equivalent app in ubuntu? [13:32] Dr_willis, ahh, fair enough :) I rarely if ever have a permanently mounted NTFS partition :) [13:32] DistroJOckey: so wht do i do? [13:32] kate says the fstab is read only [13:32] hey, what does it mean when packages have been 'kept back' when trying to upgrade [13:32] lng: update-rc.d perhaps? [13:32] DistroJockey, yea. One has to wonder why the normal 'auto mounting' of the ntfs when he accesses them - isent working. [13:32] so anyone using an ipod shuffle? [13:33] CostaRicanQuaker, you will need to edit it with root privileges [13:33] how do i do that? [13:33] i'll copy and paste it [13:34] hey what is command to check LTS version [13:35] geek_inn2: lsb_release -a [13:35] test [13:35] :) === lordmortis|away is now known as lordmortis [13:36] is this ubuntu help?

I had this terratec card for harddisk recording... buy oh buy I had problems with that under linux [13:38] boy* [13:38] mikemike: It completely depends what you downloaded and what formats its in. [13:38] my friend will install ubuntu but he dont know if it network card runs with it [13:38] his network card is says everest [13:38] Pici: Everytime when I connect to irc.ubuntu.com and join #ubuntu it is logging me in as stian. Not stian_baldi... I want to automaticly connect as stian_baldi since stian is already taken.. [13:38] mikemike, what are you trying to install on the first place ? [13:38] crusie, SB Live is a very common card and well supported as far as I can see [13:38] EduBuntu: why not try the livecd and see if it works? [13:38] EduBuntu, you are refering to a wired or wireless network card? [13:38] Atheros L2 Fast Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Controller [13:38] a super mario clone [13:39] stian_baldi: It should be in your irc client's preferences. [13:39] he have WLAN [13:39] EduBuntu, about every 'wired' network card i have ever found works under linux. [13:39] EduBuntu try using the live version of ubuntu [13:39] mikemike, secret mario chronicles is available from the repositories... [13:39] see if it works there [13:39] can anyone tell me how to make my wireless card come back to network manager? [13:40] ok, much easier, thanks [13:40] you think it runs? [13:40] with this card? [13:40] Atheros L2 Fast Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Controller [13:40] EduBuntu I would think so [13:40] Pici: Ok thanks. I use irssi, do you know how to configure it? Tried a wiki on the internet, but I have to read many pages with stuff just to change a little thing. Do you have a quick guide ? [13:40] EduBuntu: Download the Live CD. It does not require you to install it, then you will see if it runs. [13:40] soory i mean that card typ [13:40] TP-LINK 11b/g Wireless Adapter (192.168.2.5) [13:40] EduBuntu sounds like an onboard one [13:40] crusie, mine is: 02:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!

[13:41] EduBuntu: Please keep your responses on one line please. [13:41] stian_baldi: What client are you using? [13:41] Scout, you mean, compiling ? [13:41] Pici: irssi [13:41] well it should workd EduBuntu linux ubuntu actually works with suprisingly much hardware [13:41] Scout, what are you trying to install ? [13:41] joapinto, phpbb3 requires GD for visual confirmation [13:41] i've installed it before just cant remember what package is called [13:41] gd graphics support [13:42] scobby, probably you need php5-gd [13:42] php5-gd ? [13:42] ops, was Scout [13:42] hehe cool thanks guys [13:42] gd-gui ? [13:42] crusie, for php, unlikely :) [13:42] php5-gd :) [13:42] he wanted graphics support! :D [13:43] stian_baldi: http://www.irssi.org has some good tutorials, but I believe that setting can be changed by doing: /set nick stian_baldi then /save [13:43] stian_baldi, well, xchat is not that resource intensive, in case you want to try it :P [13:43] hack [13:43] how to check for LTS version [13:44] ok iv tryed everything possible and nothing works...

Iæll try it [13:46] hey iam getting trouble with permissions in writing to drives [13:46] rubber_d: It was solved before it was announced, as per security rules.

[13:47] DroP-PsyChoSiS: You need to ask in #winehq if you are having issues with playing games in Windows. [13:47] !sudo | rand0m [13:47] rand0m: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [13:47] joaopinto: I've tried lots of mirrors... Here in Norway, UK, Finland, USA, Germany... you name it.. :) Isn't there anyone else having this problem? I tried to downøoad it directly, and it is surely borken. [13:47] crusie, or go to irc channels and complaine, instead of reserching at the proper sites. [13:48] how can i defragment my ntfs partitions within ubuntu? [13:48] sunny256, I have no issues with the repositories at the moment [13:48] sunny256, have you checked if your disk is full ? [13:48] Chrysalis, I don't believe there is an ntfs defrag for linux... [13:48] Chrysalis: Even if there is a tool to do that, I really don't recommend you try. [13:48] !gksu [13:48] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [13:49] hi folks [13:49] Chrysalis, i think there Is some tool.. but I agree with fde. [13:49] fde: so what i am supposed to do when they fragment [13:49] hey....whats the prob [13:49] Chrysalis, you are not expected to use an NTFS partition unless you have a windows system :P [13:49] Chrysalis: Boot to Windows and defrag if you really feel the need. [13:49] when i run "lshw -C network" my wireless card says "*-network UNCLAIMED" any idea why?

[13:50] fde say i dont have windows but external ntfs drives etc [13:50] You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need [13:50] You gotta sleep on your toes, and when youre on the street [13:50] You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed [13:50] And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight [13:50] You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

And the problematic sources.list line is "deb http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse" [13:50] Chrysalis: Reformat them and use a real file system :) [13:50] Chrysalis, well, extreme solution, backup the data, reformat the external drive, restore the data [13:50] I have problems with outbound connection from my Apache, PHP, how can I solve that?? [13:50] ...should work, shouldn't it? [13:51] Dr_willis: seems likely... there is no driver= listed under configuration... any idea how to fix that? [13:51] Chrysalis, not to mention that in general you shouldn't expect performance from an external device [13:51] afeijo, first you describe your problem in detail, maybe someone can help you if you provide some info on it [13:51] llamo, research the card. see what module its supposed to be loading, manually load it. [13:52] Dr_willis: how do i manually load it? [13:52] please tell me [13:52] joaopinto: hi, I will, thats hard to describe, I didnt knew if someone could look it to it know, so I just advertise about lol [13:52] /dev/sda8 /media/HUMMING vfat defaults 0 0 [13:52] is this correct entry for read write support [13:52] llamo: sudo modprobe [13:52] I use Drupal, its a PHP CMS, ok?

[13:53] geek_inn2: to ensure it, you can do defaults,rw [13:53] afeijo: Can you get to other websites? [13:53] joaopinto: I found that I have to use setsebool [13:53] Pici: no one [13:53] setsebool what is that ? [13:53] how do i browse files and delete files in terminal ?

[13:54] rand0m, read some terminal/bash tutorials - for a start to learn the basic commands. you Might want to install/use the program 'mc' for a gui/terminal filemanager [13:54] rubydiamond: banshee [13:54] hi all, after few minute of inactivity my firefox does not recognize the connection (conneption up, firefox down) some one can help me? [13:54] popey, okay thanks [13:54] rubydiamond: although I actually use hpodder, some use juice-receiver [13:54] ah ok, that is why i am not familiart with it [13:54] how do you expand a dynamically expanding VirtualBox image? [13:54] Dr_willis@ did distrojockey leave? [13:54] fde: Dr_willis, sry module? i'm not sure what u mean [13:54] CostaRicanQuaker, no idea. Im in and out all day. [13:54] heh [13:55] llamo, module=drivers in linux terms. [13:55] llamo: module == driver === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [13:55] marshall, I believe there is a vbox support channel here in freenode [13:55] marshall: It would probably be best to direct that question to #vbox [13:55] Pici, the devices listed in blacklist wont boot right?? [13:55] ok, thanks [13:55] llamo, example my broadcom 4311 wireless card is using the ndiswrapper module. [13:55] fde: Dr_willis ok thx. [13:55] anyone know about setsebool command? [13:55] llamo: Slightly more complicated... it's actually a driver that isn't build into the actual kernel... kinda like a dll file... but that's the general idea [13:55] If i delete the system volume file from my ntfs drive can i do anything to get it back? [13:56] Elijah_L, probably that is a question for ##windows [13:56] I wonder what a system volume file even is.. and i agree with joaopinto :) [13:56] I deleted it in ubuntu and now I cannot read it upon rebooting, i delted some other files to that i thought were just for windows, the recycler folder too [13:56] Dr_willis: actually my prob is that i tried to use the ndisgtk for my card, then removed ndisgtk. now the original hardy driver isn't listed anymore (which worked fine) [13:56] it should worn fine under Linux [13:56] like setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans 1 [13:56] work [13:56] arvind_khadri: Correct, they are blacklisted [13:56] llamo, it may be in the blacklisted modules file. [13:57] I ran that, than I got this error: Cannot set persistent booleans without managed policy. [13:57] Could not change policy booleans [13:57] afeijo, I am not sure you find an SELinux specialist here :P [13:57] this is a ntfs question more so than a windows queston [13:57] is there a hardware channel? [13:57] Pici, ok so if I have two cards and i mention one of them in the blacklist so that wont get detected... [13:57] Is this guy for real? I came across this review of Ubuntu by an accident, but it was quite funny http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/the-definitive-review-of-ubuntu-linux-804-hardy-heron [13:57] joaopinto hehehe, where can I find one? any idea? [13:57] Elijah_L, not really.. since that is particular folder not used by Linux, which only has a meaning on Windows [13:57] arvind_khadri: exactly. [13:57] 'selinux' -> that feature in redhat, that everyone disables as soon as they boot the first time. :) [13:57] afeijo: #selinux ... really though, Ubuntu tools for SELinux are kinda lacking [13:57] !selinux [13:57] SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [13:57] joaopinto: sorry back, i am not really expecting performance, its more about keeping it healty, extending its life etc. . . anyway, i have a laptop somewhere that i can use to defragment it. . . thanks [13:58] joaopinto, i basically just want to read this ntfs drive in ubuntu [13:58] thanks [13:58] ^ fde [13:58] gronne: This is a Support channel, chatter/random links in #ubuntu-offtopic please. [13:58] Pici, actually there are two eth cards and the ping to gw works but not to yahoo.com [13:58] joaopinto: você é portugues? [13:58] Dr_willis: meh... lazy folks disable it... it's funny, everything wrong with Fedora, automatically it's SELinux's fault first :S [13:58] !br | afeijo [13:58] afeijo: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [13:58] sorry Pici [13:58] Pici I know [13:58] Dr_willis: SELinux is probably the single best feature of Linux thought if you learn to utilize it instead of turning it off. [13:58] Dr_willis: how do i check the blacklist? [13:58] afeijo: Ah, okay :) [13:58] fde, yep. its the like that "UAC" thing in windows. :) === johnnybug is now known as jconnolly [13:59] * Dr_willis reads up on apparmour. [13:59] Chrysalis, defrag is not likely to improve a device life [13:59] Pici: I was checking if he is from a country with my language :p [13:59] Dr_willis: It's like... real security. [13:59] !blacklist | llamo [13:59] llamo: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [13:59] Dr_willis: AppArmor is horrible by comparison. [13:59] fde, as opposed to counterfit security! :) [13:59] Dr_willis, not really, it is useful if you know how to use it [14:00] Dr_willis: as apposed to standard Unix file permissions, or MAC, or AppArmor. [14:00] it provides extra security, it is not user "click here" based.. it is to be used which understand about fine grain access control [14:00] pici any ideas?? [14:00] any command to show me ubuntu version?

[14:13] geek_inn2: it means it default perms are 777 ... or readable writable and executable. [14:13] hi out there [14:13] arvind_khadri: I believe it depends on the speed of the link [14:14] geek_inn2: It's probably not what you want to do... but it'd work.

[14:16] fde, thanks [14:16] i've been asked to solve a resource contention problem between two tasks running on one of my servers... are there any ways (without kernel mods or virtualization) to set limits on things like I/O per process? i've looked at "limits" but those are apparently caps and not ratelimits... [14:17] crusie: yeaah, thanks, that will be the solution... ;-) ;-) But being serius: the fonts do not work properly, the monitor is not recognized and so on === cbell93 is now known as cbell [14:17] ok [14:17] i got it [14:17] thanks fde [14:17] iam single user on pc [14:17] stian_baldi: /set nick stian_baldi then /save also check out http://www.irssi.org they have some good tutorials and documentation. [14:17] so what say [14:17] Pici: thanks man :) [14:18] geek_inn2: You normally don't need to specify every single option when mounting a disk. [14:18] bill_: you probably want #ubuntu-server at least... I'm not aware of any way to limit IO per process though, other than tweaking nice() [14:18] norman_x, nvidia-settings didn't know what to do with it? [14:18] exit [14:18] ya take that when i used defaults it didnt mount with rw permissions [14:19] hiptobecubic: well, I wanted to run dpkg-refonfigure xserver-xorg, but that does not work anymore under 8.04. Where to fit the nividia-settings I do not know [14:19] actually i didnt intend 2 mount FSTAB should do it automatically [14:19] wohoo! logged in as stian_baldi! Thanks Pico ! [14:19] synaptic touch pad unable to drag and drop in hardy. pls help [14:19] geek_inn2: Then just add rw as an option, no need to add every single option there.

It still fails, even when I download the file directly. But not when I get the excact same file to another server on a different network. WTF... This is highly suspicious. *starting diff* [14:20] norman_x, did you try it out? [14:20] i have tried all the method in the forum, but not success [14:20] so also #/dev/sda8 /media/HUMMING vfat defaults,rw 0 0 is correct? [14:20] geek_inn2: without the comment, it should be, provided /media/HUMMING exists. [14:20] hiptobecubic: well, now I understood what you are asking about, I am actually installing nvidia-settings and then give it a try [14:21] geek_inn2: comment = the # ... means that line isn't read. [14:21] /dev/sda8 /media/HUMMING vfat defaults,rw 0 0.................this? [14:21] geek_inn2: yes [14:22] * fde is pretty sure he said that about 20 mins ago [14:22] whts wrong with previous.........so also #/dev/sda8 /media/HUMMING vfat umask=000 0 0 [14:22] how can I compile pascal code in linux?? [14:22] i mean not to include comment [14:22] Hi all, how can I zoom out the cube? [14:23] /dev/sda8 /media/HUMMING vfat umask=0000 0 0 [14:23] whats wrong with this [14:23] iam single user on my pc [14:24] why did you put umask ? [14:24] that's what happens by default on vfat doesn it ? [14:24] hiptobecubic: it looks like that it had worked, thanks a lot for the hint [14:24] check man mount to make sure umask is a valid mount option [14:24] geek_inn2: you might want to do 'defaults,rw,' ... that way it'll be owned by you. [14:24] for vfat [14:24] t35t0r: both are valid... [14:25] norman_x, no worries. [14:25] umask is valid === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [14:25] i will talk later [14:25] just need to stop intruders [14:25] hackers [14:26] bye,,,,,,,busy [14:26] : D hi all [14:26] geek_inn2: Ubuntu blocks all ports by default, so no one can get in unless you take additional steps [14:26] ugh [14:26] i mas configuration my network [14:26] bye bye [14:27] Does somebody know who is charge of the Pidgin package for ubuntu? I'd like to know when there'll be a fix for the current ICQ version issue [14:27] bb [14:27] kwk, ask in #pidgin [14:27] !icqbug | kwk [14:27] kwk: A fix for ICQ within Pidgin is currently underway. Within a few days we should see it moved into the -updates repository. [14:27] http://www.joeterranova.net/2008/07/01/icq-woes-for-pidgin/ kwk [14:27] kwk: apt-cache show pidgin ... Maintainer field. [14:27] hiptobecubic, that is not a question for #pidgin, since it is ubuntu related [14:27] is there a winamp for Ubuntu/Linux? [14:27] !icqbug | kwk [14:27] hiptobecubic: Why would #pidgin know? [14:27] MXIIA, try audacious [14:27] thanks fdw [14:27] thanks [14:27] misread sorry fellow [14:27] thanks fde [14:28] will it listen to .pls though? [14:28] kwk, the fix was already uploaded into -proposed, it will be in -updates soon [14:28] kwk: It's probably "Ubuntu Core Team" though... there is a "Orig Maintainer" field too, which tells who packaged it for Debian... [14:28] you don't need to contact the package mantainer [14:29] joaopinto: You can though, that's sort of why it's there ;) [14:29] fde, yes, when it makes sense to contact them, which is not the case :) [14:29] Although you should probably be filing bugs instead. [14:29] hi sharperguy..did u manage to fix the prb...? [14:29] * fde doesn't know the issue [14:29] there is a bug record, there is a fix, and it is already on -proposed [14:29] hi [14:30] i get Filter "pstoufr2cpca" for printer "Canon" not available. no such file or directory. what to do? [14:30] can somebody help me I keep getting a error trying to install javadocs === glade88 is now known as glade88-AFK [14:30] anybody else has this problem through synaptics? [14:31] c_lisp, what error?? [14:31] c_lisp: and the error is? (my cristall ball is broken ;P ) [14:31] lol erUSUL [14:31] Xd [14:31] hey how do i completely remove a downloaded package with apt-get remove --purge ? I want ubuntu to re-download the .deb and not use the existing one [14:31] * Kartagis throws a mind reading helmet at erUSUL [14:32] speedhunt3r, just rm it from the /var/apt/cache ? [14:32] anyway apt does integrity check before installing the package, there is no poing in doing that instead of reinstalling [14:32] * erUSUL bows to Kartagis [14:32] joaopinto, there is no such directory [14:33] speedhunt3r: apt-get clean will remove ALL your downloaded archived packages [14:33] speedhunt3r, forget it, there is no point in removing it from the cache [14:33] speedhunt3r: It won't do that... and in such cases, you don't want to use purge! just sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install ... maybe just remove too if the manually installed package is newer. [14:33] hi all, where can I download hardy 8.04.1? [14:33] speedhunt3r, also you could try to describe your problem instead of reinstalling [14:34] Joelito, ubuntu.com, once it becomes available [14:34] speedhunt3r: purge gets rid of config files too... and then apt will think you deleted them on purpose, so won't replace them. [14:34] Joelito: www.ubuntu.com? [14:34] fde, that is not true, apt will install the new fresh install files [14:34] joaapinto, Kartagis: Isn't today the release? [14:34] how do i give my nic a second ipaddress? [14:34] joaopinto: I assure you - unless Ubuntu has patches to avoid it - that it is the case. === freaky[t] is now known as c1|freaky [14:35] fde, I assure you that ubuntu does not track when a config file is deleted [14:35] Joelito: maybe the time hasn't come yet [14:35] thanks guys [14:35] Can anyone tell me the command to open a program in a different virtual terminal than the one executed in? (ie i press ctrl+alt+f1 and type in a program but it runs on 7 so it goes into the x-session) [14:35] fde, that is why using purge is recommended on very specific scenarios, and the way you believe it works would render --purge useless [14:36] Kartagis: oh, I see. [14:36] fde, anyway, if you doubt my word, just try it with apache2 or a similar package [14:36] joaopinto: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/ ... them rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... then apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg ... ooo, it's not back! [14:37] joaopinto: also, so you don't ruine stuff ... man ucf [14:37] how do i give ma nework card an ip alias? [14:37] hi guys [14:37] fde, dpkg -S /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:37] remoteCTR1, i guess its routeadd [14:37] fde, xorg.conf is not provided by a package, it is created from an uitility, which is a different scenario [14:37] and you can regenerate it with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:37] joaopinto: Well, whatever it's provided by.... my bad... just man ucf ... [14:37] but like I said, xorg.conf is not a default config provided by a package [14:38] !release | Joelito [14:38] Joelito: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [14:38] Can i disable the OSS-driver, without compiling my own kernel? [14:38] arvind_khadri: um ok i havent even got that command... [14:38] i get Filter "pstoufr2cpca" for printer "Canon" not available. no such file or directory. what to do? [14:38] remoteCTR1, didnt get you...you mean you dont know how to use that [14:38] Firefox 3.0 keeps freezing at random - sometimes for variable lengths of time, sometimes permanently. What steps do I take? [14:39] arvind_khadri: i meant no such command [14:39] remoteCTR1, just hang on [14:39] joaopinto: ucf is responsible for what I describe... it is policy though that the file not be replaced or touched in any way... so like I said, unless Ubuntu changed that, it won't replace the conf files. [14:39] anyone know vim perl plugin that look up your perl modles? [14:39] rljs: do you have any extensions? [14:39] guys, I am trying to use soundConverter to convert audio files (ogg) to mp3, why in the preferences mp3 is inactive? is there some library that I need to install? how do I activate mp3 converting? [14:39] arvind_khadri: yeah thanks! [14:39] #smoothwall [14:39] Chousuke: No, I do not have any extensions, add-ons, or themes of any kind. [14:39] hmm :/ [14:40] Well that's all I can think of. [14:40] banshee thinks I have 2900+ songs when I just have 500... even after completely removing it it loads up 2k+ songs and If I try to remove them from the library Banshee crashes... is there a way around it rather than manually removing it a few at a time? [14:40] anyone? [14:40] Anyone have any experience using preseed files for unattended installs? My install seems to hang just after the "console-setup-udeb" warning... [14:40] I have attempted a { sudo apt-get install firefox } to uninstall and reinstall it, but this did nothing to help. [14:40] rljs: you can try backing up your preferences and then removing them. [14:40] does anyone use vim? [14:40] speedhunt3r, have you tried looking at the paths of the extra songs? where is it looking for them? [14:40] perlsyntax: sometimes; why=' [14:40] ?* [14:41] speedhunt3r: Banshee should have a 'home'-directory in your home folder [14:41] speedhunt3r: .banshee perhaps [14:41] speedhunt3r: delete that one === joshu is now known as zhaozhou [14:41] rljs: install as the name obviously suggests does n ot uninstall anything... [14:41] And yes, i neet to cat my messages together in the future. [14:41] Chousuke,I looking for a vim perl plugin that look up your perl modles [14:41] perlsyntax: hmmh :/ [14:41] never done perl :P [14:42] remoteCTR1, its sudo route add [14:42] rljs: sudo aptitude reinstall firefox3 perhaps... I think firefox is a metapackage in hardy [14:42] why would anyone use vim over nano? just out of curiousity [14:42] that what i looking for. [14:42] hiptobecubic: vim has a lot of features that nano doesn't. [14:42] hiptobecubic, it's looking in /media/disk but I don't even have a folder called /media/disk [14:42] perlsyntax: vim.org has a lot of scripts, did you search there? [14:42] hiptobecubic: When you learn how to use it, it is MUCH more convenient... it's target audience is programmers and administrators though. [14:42] i'm trying to set up dual monitor support for my inspiron 6000, but when i try to type aticonfig -initial, it asks me to please copy the configuration file template to /etc/x11 [14:42] does anyone have any idea what the problem is? [14:43] arvind_khadri: tha adds a second ip adrerss to your card? [14:43] hiptobecubic: it seems you're not aware of VIM vs. EMACS ;) [14:43] my gcc can't find , but i have the bluetooth manager showing up and i've installed packages "bluetooth", "bluez-gnome" and "bluez-utils".. anyone know what's missing? [14:43] No one needs a mini-os for editing text files!!! :P [14:43] speedhunt3r, if i'm not mistaken media/disk was the original folder it chose to mount my other partition on. did you have an external drive or a windows partition with music in it or something? [14:43] sehej: are you compiling yourself? [14:43] arvind_khadri: or does that overwrite my current settings? [14:44] yes [14:44] well, through a Makefile [14:44] remoteCTR1, it adds [14:44] hiptobecubic, exactly....I just remembered my friend plugged in his external hard disk [14:44] not my code, but i just checked it out and it should be working [14:44] speedhunt3r, also have you looked at your preferences for where it searches for music? perhaps you can limit it [14:44] arvind_khadri: nice one! thanks mate! [14:44] speedhunt3r, and /media/disk doesn't exist anymore? [14:44] sehej: is /usr/include in an -L-arguement? (Check the makefile, or an eventual config-file.) [14:44] remoteCTR1, welcome...do tell me after it works [14:45] have anyone compiled iptables with extensions on ubuntu / [14:45] sehej: Sometimes the include-directory is defined as /usr/local/include, not /usr/include [14:45] arvind_khadri: ok, i will [14:45] i not sure what to look for [14:45] sehej: If you find it such, just change it. [14:45] sehej: you could try installing the libbluetooth-dev and/or libbluetooth2-dev packages if they're not already installed [14:45] d [14:45] hiptobecubic, nope it doesn't [14:45] ilowe: Oh, right, ubuntu does the -dev-packages. Forgot about that. [14:45] * zhaozhou is fed up with gentoo. [14:46] zhaozhou: that's the point - i don't have a bluetooth-directory in either of those include folders [14:46] zhaozhou: they *should* install to the right locations [14:46] sehej: Then you're missing the -dev-packages, as ilowe sais. [14:46] speedhunt3r, did you try deleting the ~/.banshee directory like someone mentioned earlier? [14:46] hiptobecubic, I went to preferences and pointed it to the right folder, but still i'm stuck trying to remove these entries like 30 at a time, If i do it all at once, banshee crashes. [14:46] zhaozhou: I recently switched here from gentoo.... too much fiddling... I'll go back one day but for now I get more done faster on ubuntu [14:46] alright, i'll install them, thanks [14:46] ilowe: I'm aware of that. I have seen lots of packages looking in the /usr/local/include though... [14:46] fde: The method you offered { sudo aptitude reinstall firefox3 } completed successfully, but did not resolve the problem. [14:46] in the server edition the postfix can be configured when we want to correct?? [14:47] speedhunt3r, deleting the .banshee folder will clear out the database i think (not sure, i use rhythmbox) [14:47] zhaozhou: true... always good to double-check these things [14:47] ilowe: It's the fiddling that makes linux so much fun! [14:47] is there a way to unzip a mass of files at once? I tried unzip *.zip and I got this message 'caution: filename not matched:' [14:47] zhaozhou: don't I know it! [14:47] that fixed it, thanks again [14:47] hiptobecubic, there isn't one ~/.banshee to begin with... u're reffereing to /home/user/.banshee right? [14:47] zhaozhou: except when you're trying to do some work on a coding project and you spend your time mucking about trying to config your gfx card [14:47] <[miles]> afternoon guys, anyone know when if ever ubuntu-xen-desktop will be fixed please? [14:48] speedhunt3r: ~/.banshee == /home/yourusername/.banshee [14:48] hey there [14:48] well the .banshee directory for whichever use you are [14:48] [miles]: what's the problem you're having? I've been fiddling with that package myself lately. [14:48] Pici, in the server edition the postfix can be configured when we want to correct?? [14:48] A quick google on the topic shows that FireFox 3 has been having a general problem with freezing and hiccups. I might resort to putting 2 on in it's stead. [14:48] ilowe: Ha, true. [14:48] What is a good internet browser to use from the packet manager? [14:48] <[miles]> ilowe, broken ... [14:48] <[miles]> ilowe, ubuntu-xen-desktop: Depends: xenman which is a virtual package. [14:48] can anyone try to solve this problem: I cant run pidgin [14:49] ~/ is just a shorthand for /home/user/ [14:49] zhaozhou: I also really like the pkg management in gentoo: nice and simple. I guess it's much easier when you're doing source distros instead of binary [14:49] when i open it it closes imediatly [14:49] XChat: What is the problem? It just will not start? [14:49] speedhunt3r, ~/ is just a shorthand for /home/user/ [14:49] <[miles]> ilowe, #ubuntu-xen ??? [14:49] [miles]: you can download the .deb for xenman and install it manually... [14:49] it starts and vanishs a second after [14:49] <[miles]> ilowe, really === c3s4r_ is now known as Bella [14:49] arvind_khadri: says SIOCADDRT: No such process :D [14:49] [miles]: the problem I had is that it seems to hang after a reboot once gdm starts... if you get that far, let me know and we can compare notes [14:50] ilowe: It's logical and it's smart, but not optimal. It takes WAY too much memory and does CPU spikes as hell. [14:50] done [14:50] is there a command for changing workspaces in gnome? [14:50] thx [14:50] hiptobecubic, yeah, there's nothing named .banshee in my home directory. [14:50] <[miles]> ilowe, yep , thats the damn X server, set the xorg.conf Driver "vesa" [14:50] <[miles]> ilowe, and X will work [14:50] remoteCTR1, it would be sudo route add [14:50] h4L1m: maybe ctrl +alt + left/right arrow helps you? [14:50] [miles]: cool, I'll try that... if it works I'll do a dance and drink a shot to your health [14:50] <[miles]> ilowe, seems xen is pretty stuffed in ubuntu atm [14:50] ilowe: But i like it aswell. Plus, it gives me the feeling my computer is 100 times faster (probably placebo, but still... ;-)) [14:50] <[miles]> ilowe, it does work mate, 100% [14:50] remoteCTR1, i know but i want to know the commands [14:51] arvind_khadri: sudo route add -net 10.0.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.5.1 dev eth0 [14:51] [miles]: sweet!

[14:52] arvind_khadri: yeah me neither as you can see :D [14:52] <[miles]> ilowe, mmmm but you say GDM bombed yeah? [14:52] remoteCTR1, :) [14:52] zhaozhou: I just got frustrated that a clean install takes hours... I'm building machines like it's going out of style and I can't afford to wait 4 hours to find out if my config is good [14:53] [miles]: yeah... so I guess I didn't really get too far... but the xenman/ubuntu-xen-desktop seemed to work [14:53] Hi Friends ,Talk to me about voice chat in ubuntu [14:53] <[miles]> ilowe, you on 32bit or 64?

[14:54] speedhunt3r, i'm not super familiar with where the banshee config files are. i'd start digging around on the website or in the forums for .banshee or banshee database or something like that [14:54] ilowe: I tend to run on the snapshot until i have a steady install, running X and everthing. THEN i compile everything, and leaving it over night. Takes 2 or 3 hours if only my dualcore works. [14:54] Jack_Sparrow: I'm building for production boxen.... they can't share stuff [14:54] ilowe: I used a compilefarm though, took about half, since the did half the work.

I edited my partitions and this is the situation: http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=2310301.png Now I wish to combine these two unallocated spaces to create one ext3 partition and one swap. How could these unallocated spaces be combined? [16:31] Correto: you just download the image file from ubuntu website and burn it to your cd blank. Restart your pc and boot it. [16:31] ng0L HAve you installed anything from source [16:31] WalloO, agree, but when it lights up a dark room it's hard to believe it :) [16:31] thx ng0l [16:31] Jack_Sparrow: you meant the update available? [16:32] jhattu, is this disk mounted? I mean, is this your main physical drive? [16:32] Ayabara, it means it's not in sleep mode' You may have just a black screen [16:32] jhattu: You'd need to move your ext3 partition so that the unallocated space is all in one area. [16:32] jhattu: looks like those two partitions arent continuous. [16:32] ng0L from source or a tar not from our repos [16:32] Ayabara, when in sleep mode, the screen should change (power button change color or blink) [16:32] Jack_Sparrow: NOPE [16:32] Well since i cant find my mate, ill ask here. Whats the advantages of Unbuntu from 1. Gamers Point of view, 2. a novice coder 3. General computer user? 4. Experienced computer user. [16:32] drod: It is one physical hard drive divided into partitions. [16:32] jhattu: you will first have to move the /dev/hda3 so the two unallocated partitions are "next" to one another. [16:33] hi ! I'd like to know on which partition a file is. Can a command be used to know that ? Thx [16:33] i have a problem with downloading or updating packages with apt in ubuntu hardy . http://paste.ubuntu.com/24747/ . here is a proxy server and all the ports are blocked but 8080 . what can i do? [16:33] WalloO, the lowest I can set the "put display to sleep" is 11 minutes. is there a way I can make it enter display sleep at once to test?

When I right click hda3 and select resize/move, the "free space preceding" is gray and can not be selected. Is there a way to move this partition? [16:34] jhattu: so i would probably create a 9GB partition in the first unallocated spot, clone /dev/hda3 to that and then delete /dev/hda3. [16:34] Ayabara, it should be possible, but I don't know the command to do that. Search google for that [16:34] jacodt: Rock. Stand by. I will give it a try. [16:34] sorry for reposting but i was disconnected and i don't know if it went through. [16:34] is there a way to log in remotely to a system and not disturb the xsession that's currently running? I want to be able to access a terminal, no gui necessary [16:34] jhattu: then you should end up with one large unallocated spot at the end of your drive. [16:34] jhattu: IS that on a live CD? [16:34] Ayabara, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Automatically_turn_off_your_monitor [16:35] Ayabara, it'S for gentoo, but maybe will do the job [16:35] hello everybody ,connected with pppoe ,firestarter woeks well with ppoe but block all local connections on eth0?

[17:04] unop, and that requires hal support for xorg-server [17:04] unop, I can give you the page if you want [17:05] pen, ok, let's have a look [17:05] noobuntu: it doesn't really matter what you pick. 64-bit lets you use more ram if you have 4 or more gigs, but other than that the differences are negligible [17:05] when i start the compiz .. my titlebar is going away ? where we need to set [17:05] legend2440: like on boot up, showed a new device before loading ubuntu [17:05] noobuntu, i'd say go with 32-bit if you are new to ubuntu [17:05] ok fryguy, i was once told that 64bit version has less software or something [17:05] while configureing the alsa driver is this line suitable for me im trying to config for a sound blaster audigy 2 sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) ???

[17:06] well it doesnt work [17:06] linny: hda-intel is, and has been, well supported by alsa for quite some time [17:06] how do I resize a partition that is showing the wrong 'total' size? Any way to update this? [17:06] noobuntu, maybe not software, but 3rd party drivers and plugins [17:06] unop, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/InputHotplug [17:06] ASULutzy: yes [17:06] Chrysalis: type alsamixer in terminal which card is listed in top left corner?

[17:08] legend2440: i disabled the onboard in bios, yes its hte onboard [17:08] I just installed a new geforce card and my resolution is stuck in 640x480 [17:08] unop, got it? [17:08] HappyHater- did you install the driver for it? [17:08] linny: upgrading alsa isn't going to help flash do sound at all. Flashplayer uses oss. your problem is you need to set up firefox to use alsa-oss wrapper. plenty of documentation on google for setting this up [17:08] What would cause /etc/cron.daily/apt to take 4 hours to run every night? [17:08] yeah it installed that propietary driver or whatever [17:09] Chrysalis: open system>preferences>sound can you choose audigy in default device box?

[17:09] linny: yes [17:10] I'll try it again, when I did it before it would just ask me about the keyboard and mouse [17:10] pen, yep - looks like you need xorg from intrepid for it - do you really have to have it now? can't you make do otherwise and wait a few months more? [17:10] legend2440: no i cant, it doesnt show [17:10] HappyHater- it also re/configures video. [17:10] thank you very much i have been googling and puzzled with this for 2 days now [17:10] Chrysalis: read post #2 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-do-you-change-the-default-sound-card-in-kubuntu-499520/ [17:10] linny: i'll tell you that flash sound works fine with any card that uses hda-intel, both analog and digital, without needing to upgrade or compile any packages outside of ubuntus repository. You may be having configuration issues or soemthing, but the answer isn't to start compiling software [17:11] unop, I have a logitech mouse which uses evdev driver and for now I can't enable hotplug [17:11] legend2440: btw, i only see default mixer, i dont see default device [17:11] unop, so it has been bugging me for a long time I really want this to be fixed [17:11] Chrysalis: yes thats what i meant [17:11] hey guys how many system calls does pipe have? can someone please type in ubuntu apropos "pipe" | wc -l [17:11] Fryguy--: Wow thanks, screen -r is exactly what I needed [17:12] legend2440: ok, just making sure, i dont see it in any of the drop down menues anyway, ill read the link [17:12] it gets to the 'emulate 3 button mouse' part and quits [17:12] ASULutzy: take some time to read the screen documentation, it does lots of other cool stuff :) [17:12] i see the thing that led me to do that is the fact that on the adobe website it says that flashonly works with alsa and when i go to the sound section in ubuntu and select alsa i get errors do i started trying to install it [17:12] Hanif85, why don't you do it yourself :) ? [17:12] I run a amc [17:12] mac [17:12] no ubuntu here [17:12] :( [17:12] Hanif85: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:13] I need to resize and move my / partition, I have no liveCD, and my burner's dead [17:13] well I was told to apropos it [17:13] pen, well, there are couple of _unsupported_ ways of getting the bleeding edge versions of xorg installed - one is to backport xorg from intrepid to hardy (or whatever you use) which is recommended, two is to use a mixed system using apt-pinng and perhaps finally, install xorg from source - i'd say backport [17:13] hay all having a bit of issues with my firefox3, it keeps crashing with a segmentation fault any ideas? [17:13] evilbug, it stops after the 'emulate 3 button mouse' part [17:13] Hanif85: i'm sure bsd is going to have a similar result of that function as a linux system, so just type it into your mac [17:13] it doesnt work in my mac [17:13] unop, how do I backport?

[17:21] Why are there necessary two address book files: /home//.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db and /home//.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db.summary? [17:22] arvind_khadri: the onlything new in dmesg is VMBlock warning: DentryOpRevalidate: invalid args from kernel but i think thats not firefox related [17:22] ufk: what exactly is wrong with the information in THE VERY FIRST RESPONSE [17:22] bullgard4: one's the db, one's just a summary of it [17:22] shadowhywind, any particular way to re-create that bug [17:22] arvind_khadri: no particular way that i have found just yet [17:22] Starnestommy: What you say is not true. [17:22] err.. the first says VPN so didn't go in :) [17:22] Pici: the very first result highlights the steps necessary [17:23] ufk: excuse me, the 3rd result, sorry, i miscounted my tabs [17:23] Fryguy--: This channel is about helping people, not linking them to google. [17:23] shadowhywind, hmm...wait for the updates from the repos and check...thats all i feel can be done now [17:23] having recursive "unexpected IRQ trap at vector 92" msg while booting tried a lot of things without success kind of desperate here.... [17:23] Pici: and i linked the person directly to documentation highlighting a resolution to their problem [17:23] does Hardy come by default with an ssh server or do you have to install open-ssh? [17:23] arvind_khadri: is there a way to boot firefox in "safe" mode? [17:23] hiptobecubic: have to install openssh [17:24] hiptobecubic, you need to install it [17:24] hiptobecubic, you have to install it [17:24] does anyone here run ubuntu on a toshiba laptop ?? [17:24] shadowhywind, hmm let me check [17:24] ok thanks, the client is already there no? just ssh HOST [17:24] maek, toshiba makes a lot of laptop variaties... [17:24] hiptobecubic, yes [17:24] why are the nvidia drivers in the repos so old? they are like 4 versions behind the current, and even the current is almost a month old already [17:24] maek, there are some linux-laptop web sites, and i think the ubuntu forums have a section for laptops. [17:25] metalpres: Because Ubuntu is not a rolling release. When a version is released, the package versions generally stay at what they were released as. [17:25] shadowhywind, ya firefox -safe-mode & [17:25] metalpres, things have to stabilize in the repos - maintaining bleeding-edge versions of software is not easy [17:25] Heck even getting the nvidia and ati drivers just working.. can be a chore. [17:25] Dr_willis, thanks .. just want to know if toshiba laptops are a no go for Linux or they are quite painless ... [17:26] arvind_khadri: nice i will try that next, at the moment i disabled compiz thinking maybe that is playing some nasty tricks somewhere [17:26] Pici: so there likely wont be and update to the nvidia drivers until 8.10? [17:26] bullgard4: It may be best to ask that question in the Evolution forums or IRC channel. [17:26] metalpres: Correct. [17:26] shadowhywind, cant say,it may be doing that :) [17:26] maek, totally depends on whats IN the laptop. I would look for one with Nvidia video. Then theres whatever wireless is in it. that will be the 2 top 'problem' areas. If you can take a live cd to the store and test it in the laptop you want to buy [17:27] maek, i got a nice HP laptop the other day on sale. got it going 100% in linux right now. :) [17:27] metalpres, if you have really need the latest driver you can use engyng, however if you dont have a reason for it, you should keep with the current stable version === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [17:27] Dr_willis, GREAT idea !! Thanks I will try a LiveCD on the laptop [17:27] FelixTheCat: What "Evolution forums or IRC channel" do you mean? [17:27] arvind_khadri: thanks for the help [17:28] shadowhywind, always welcome :) [17:28] is there a way to enter the ssh user password at the command line? i.e. not interactively? [17:28] is it possible to use virtualization on any type of processor, for e.g. running Windows games on Ubuntu? [17:28] <`Matir> hiptobecubic, not with openssh (for security reasons) but look into public key authentication [17:29] i concur [17:29] <`Matir> andersfeder, if you just want to run the games, try wine/cedega [17:29] hiptobecubic, if you mean doing ssh without asking for a password, you are looking for ssh keys [17:29] bullgard4: #evolution on irc.gnome.org [17:29] ello anyone here uses firestarter? [17:29] joaopinto, yes i think that's what i'm looking for === arashO|phone is now known as arashO|o === lordrommel is now known as kaliMastah [17:29] !wine | andersfeder [17:29] andersfeder: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

[17:29] bullgard4: more information at http://www.gnome.org/support/ [17:29] I need someone's opinion on a tutorial that I wrote. Anyone care to read it? [17:29] FelixTheCat: I have already put my question there. But I have got no answer there. [17:29] hiptobecubic, http://pkeck.myweb.uga.edu/ssh/ [17:30] chowder: Try #ubuntu-offtopic [17:30] thanks, i know about WINE .. it just don't thinks its an ideal solution .. i was wondering if virtualization could give near 100% compatibility for a gamer [17:30] having recursive "unexpected IRQ trap at vector 92" msg while booting tried a lot of things without success any suggestions? [17:30] cibariox: let me websearch [17:30] Pici: kk [17:30] andersfeder: no, because your graphics card isn't virtualized [17:30] cibariox: you search too [17:30] andatche, most VMs do not support 3d acceleration [17:30] hi [17:31] the latest vmware beta does provide it, but never tested it myself [17:31] oh i see [17:31] I doubt you'll get better results from running a VM, unless VMWare has come a long way [17:31] how can i find out how much space is left on an lvm? [17:31] Fryguy--, actually the problem is that the graphics card inside the vm IS virtualized ;) [17:32] joaopinto: no, it's emulated [17:32] cibariox: can you boot to command line? [17:32] because i created several partitions on an lvm and want to create the last partition at max size left [17:32] andersfeder: Wine works for a lot of the most popular games [17:32] Fryguy--, as far as I know all the hardware inside vmware is emulated/virtualized :) [17:32] joaopinto: there is a difference between emulation and virtualization [17:32] troubles since i installed that hardy on friends pc,fstab doesnt recogniz partitions,so i made changes to boot for created folders in /media/winc,/media/wind,/media/wine etc,but 2 problems first drives dont show lables created in xp,next read write permissions how to set [17:32] no... the only booting options that i have is from live cd boot options [17:32] icewaterman, vgdisplay show help [17:33] cibariox: so you cant boot to livecd? [17:33] ASULutzy: perhaps, but its still akward to set up, i think [17:33] ActionParsnip: no i cant... [17:34] andersfeder: Nah, not at all, two quick commands in the command line and all you need to do is update and upgrade as normal and it will pull down the newest wine's [17:34] cibariox: try f4 and boot to safe graphics mode? have you switched around any of your cards in pci slots? [17:34] cibariox: id check your bios settings, make sure irq's are assigned by the OS, and disable what you dont need [17:34] cibariox: i'd also run a memory test from the cd [17:34] #j polska [17:34] ASULutzy: yeah, thats what i'm talking about .. not a solution for the general populace [17:34] ponurak: its /j [17:35] sorry [17:35] joaopinto: thx [17:35] :) [17:35] ponurak: /j #roomname [17:35] how do I get a command to run onto a different vterm? [17:35] cibariox: id grab your manual for your motherboard and see whats what [17:35] i already did all of that... including physical testing of mem chips and replacing graphics card... unplugging HDs and reseting bios to optimal defaults [17:35] someone is comfortable with mknod ? [17:35] alright well, I'm about out of ideas... I can't get xorg.conf to reconfigure video/monitor and when I open the xorg.conf file those sections are empty [17:35] cibariox: use failsafe instead of optimal [17:35] key2: modern linux distributions use devfs, mknod is no longer needed/used by pretty much everything [17:35] andersfeder: All you have to do is copy and paste two lines? after that the .exe's work just like in windows by double clicking [17:36] DIL [17:36] HappyHater: what graphics card you om?

[17:36] gaming should just work out of the box .. in fact i think its a shame that Ubuntu doesn't integrate WINE by standard [17:36] sharperguy: netcat is one solution to do that (nc -l and nc on 2 separate terms to transfer data back and forth between them). not sure if that will suffice for what you are trying to do or not [17:37] andersfeder: you can install it seperately. not all users will use windows apps so installing wine is not universal for all [17:37] andersfeder: Gaming does work out of the box. Installing Windows applications in Linux doesn't, for obvious reasons. If you are incapable of copy pasting then you'll have a very rough time on any operating system, Windows, Linux, Mac, doesn't matter. [17:37] andersfeder: its not hard to install either [17:38] andersfeder: if you are gaming id suggest cedega or crossover office, well worth the money [17:38] troubles since i installed that hardy on friends pc,fstab doesnt recogniz partitions,so i made changes to boot for created folders in /media/winc,/media/wind,/media/wine etc,but 2 problems first drives dont show lables created in xp,next read write permissions how to set [17:38] answer plz [17:38] I have plenty of Linux games installed that just "work out of the box" but when you're talking about installing applications as complicated as games that were designed for a completely different operating system, it's a wonder it's actually as simple as it is [17:38] geek_inn2: they wont show the labels, only the mountpoints are shown [17:39] ASULutzy: aw, come on .. dont oversimply things to make Linux look something it isnt .. you know as well as i that ordinary people need to walk a long distance before getting to the point of even having the commands to copy-paste [17:39] geek_inn2, they wont show the labels of xp ,you can set permissions in fstab [17:39] Fryguy--, well I'm trying to run an x-program from a vterm because i can get any other way of accessing commands within x at the moment. I used to know the tommand, it was somthing like SCREEN:#1 or somthing to prefix the command [17:39] "spooling" does that mean CUPS stores the text in RAM? [17:39] geek_inn2: read/write permissions for ntfs drives are set on the fstab line (the 4th parameter), as for labels, I don't have a specific answer [17:39] geek_inn2: the account you access the data with will dictate what you can and cant see / write eyc === Paijo_paimin is now known as ce [17:39] so how does it work when they are automounted [17:39] !ntfs [17:39] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For NTFS write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [17:39] ASULutzy: http://www.linux.com/feature/139589 [17:39] andersfeder, ouch ? ordinary people is not familiar with google.com :) ? [17:39] sharperguy: oh, i see now. export DISPLAY=:1 should do what you need [17:39] oh thanks [17:39] I would read that as an insult :) [17:40] andersfeder: Normal people=morons? All I did was google how to install wine, and it gave me those two commands to copy paste. It's really not some kind of tricky sorcery like you're making it out to be. [17:40] geek_inn2, just check your fstab now and you can well set the permissions the way you want to [17:40] anybody know the CLI command to update ClamAV's virus database? [17:40] greenfishx3, afaik, spooling stores the document in ram and sends it to the printer bit by bit [17:40] anyway. to install wine, you just need to use the package manager, if you dont know how to use that on Ubuntu, then you are not using it at all :) [17:40] howto undo last update? [17:40] andersfeder: I consider normal people people capable of using a search engine, that's really not asking that much ;) [17:40] ASULutzy: did i say they were morons? i didnt say that [17:40] andersfeder: if you don't like the defaults that ubuntu provides you, use another distrbution. There are hundreds of distributions available because people like different sets of defaults [17:41] /dev/sda8 /media/HUMMING vfat defaults,rw,.............didnt work [17:41] Use Debian. [17:41] * DIL_ ASULutzy must be a genius then eh [17:41] it works if i set........./dev/sda8 /media/HUMMING vfat umask=0000 0 0 [17:41] geek_inn2: probably ntfs, not vfat [17:41] ASULutzy: how are normal people supposed to know they are to search for something called WINE ... thats bull, with all due respect [17:41] its fat dude [17:41] andersfeder: and I'm saying that if you think it's asking too much for someone to type something into google and copy and paste the result, then those people probably aren't going to do so well on any OS. So it's not really a linux problem [17:41] sharperguy: thanks for the info, btw what does afaik stand for? [17:41] geek_inn2, the umask should be 007 [17:41] geek_inn2: and you don't specify username on the options line, you specify a uid , with uid=1000 [17:42] ASULutzy: normal people arent stupid .. they just have better things to do [17:42] greenfishx3: "as far as i know" [17:42] Any file browse selection dialog takes forever to come up regardless of application triggering it, ideas? [17:42] andersfeder: Well, if they'd come in here and ask, or go to the forums, or I don't know, try to better themselves in any way whatsoever? That's like saying how are people supposed to use a search engine? They aren't born witht hat knowledge.

We're born knowing how to breathe, anything else is a bonus. No one is born being a masterful programmer, you ask questions, you learn, you adapt. It's not a Linux issue. What's the difference in asking people to learn how Windows works versus learning how Linux works? [17:43] geek_inn2, AFAIR it didnt happen to me ever [17:43] andersfeder: and what obscure command is this that we are talking about? [17:43] ASULutzy: If you check the policies of this channel, then you'll see the ettiquite is to give someone the link after googling it yourself. Do not tell people to 'just google it' or 'read the fine manual' === ce is now known as seeeeexxx [17:43] Fryguy--: wine [17:44] andersfeder: let it go - i am normal and i can bet the there are least 1371 other normals her [17:44] Fryguy--: does that mean ubuntu doesnt use sse type registers? [17:44] i will boot with dapper live cd and check [17:44] but how [17:44] andersfeder: This is getting really off topic, m-c, I didn't tell him to just google it. I gave him the commands he would have to enter to set wine up properly and he said that no one would be able to understand that and said wah wah Windows isn't Linux... why don't native Windows binaries work in Linux? Gee, I wonder why they don't. [17:44] andersfeder: wine is hardly an obscure command, and comes up for any reasonable google result for "run windows applications in linux" or pretty much any paraphrasing of such words. it's very easy to discover it, and it's very easy to ask people in person the question and get the answer [17:44] Fryguy--, the text from ASULutzy was not related to the support on this channel, but to support from a general perspective, from an user point of view [17:44] ASULutzy: windows knowledge is forced upon people from everywhere .. linux knowledge isnt .. thats the huge difference [17:44] coded1: yes afaik [17:44] wher i can donwload skype [17:45] for ubuntu?

[17:50] no other user === Hanif85 is now known as Hanif85|away [17:50] geek_inn2: Linux traditionally has a root user for a reason. Your user is supposed to run in a less privileged mode so that you/malicious software/potential viruses can't hose up your system. [17:50] geek_inn2, even on windows, every user _does not_ have the capability of reading/writing to all volumes - file/directory permissions apply [17:51] I have an HP laptop, and the volume keys on the laptop were bound by default, and still are. When I hit the volume button, a small window comes up and shows the volume adjusting. Unfortunately, the volume shown in this window doesn't correspond to the actual volume.

[17:52] geek_inn2: Before you go and make everything writable by your user, you should read up on why your user doesn't have the permissions to do that in the first place, and why that makes Linux a safer and more secure operating system. if you need to escalate your privileges, use sudo, that's what it's there for [17:52] geek_inn2, 777 means every permission to all [17:52] m-c: Thank you very much!

[17:53] Luxx16126: put xp disc in the drive and install [17:53] m-c, we're aware - but it is important to point out that something is not true when trying to make a comparison - especially if you are trying to emulate that behaviour on ubuntu/linux [17:53] Luxx16126, please ask on ##windows, on how to install Windows [17:53] geek_inn2: http://www.zzee.com/solutions/linux-permissions.shtml [17:53] omar: qué tál?

[17:54] Luxx16126: need a more detailed description than that "it doesn't work" isn't helpful to people trying to provide help to you [17:54] just making a point - go ahead with whatever... - did not mean to get you all riled up [17:54] i think launchpad can help with displaying labels.....devels [17:54] joaopinto: I checked my boot folder, I can only find the recent kernel im using..

[17:56] Luxx16126: ubuntu doesn't do anything to change your hard drive configuration or the ability to install another operating system onto it, so windows should install on to it just like it did before you had ubuntu [17:56] greenfishx3, joaopinto: I have -19 [17:56] ASULutzy: whats the diff between upgrade vs distro upgrade?

[17:56] greenfishx3: upgrade grabs packages without the current version (security updates and such), distro upgrade is used for the major upgrades that come out 2x a year [17:56] greenfishx3: Sometimes upgrades get hung up for some reason or another, and dist-upgrade is necessary. Don't worry, it doesn't do the same thing as update-manager -d does [17:57] greenfishx3: You won't get Intrepid Ibex using dist-upgrade ;) [17:57] im trying to find a SMC1244TX v2 driver for ubuntu [17:57] where i can get a list of all ubuntu studio's software? i have hardy installed and i want to upgrade it with those softwares, without unstalling it [17:57] ah I understand thanks again ASULutzy, Fryguy-- [17:57] having recursive "unexpected IRQ trap at vector 92" error msg while booting tried a lot of things without success any suggestions? [17:58] greenfishx3, on a side note, it is better to use sudo do-release-upgrade instead of aptitude dist-upgrade [17:58] is libdvdcss2 and libdvdcss3 no longer available in 8.04?

[18:03] ty [18:03] Siege: you need to be more specific [18:03] ciao [18:03] ganymede: there are plenty of gtk themes and engines available, browse the ubuntu repository, install a few, and pick one that suits your preference better. Also check out gnome-look.org for some other options [18:03] Siege, what seems to be the problem? [18:03] Fryguy--: so it IS theme specific, and not program specific?

Like I said, I only just watched the video minutes ago, but it definitely seems like something I want to download and try... I'll keep trying to check for a hardware compatibility list. It seems like basically you just install Kubuntu and then you install their cd on top of Kubuntu [18:25] Fryguy--, thx [18:25] cause right now I have to restart ubuntu to get it to mount [18:25] whats up with the icq update [18:25] Just out of curiosity, does anyone know of a website proxy service that allows one to bypass a public internet cafe site that blocks certain sites? [18:25] * stansmith queefs [18:26] any idea fryguy??? [18:26] my theme installer won't work, any idea ? it would start loading but never starts [18:26] Mary-cy: no [18:26] Jack_Sparrow, well.. my old ati-all-in-wonder had nill support. but that was some time back. Ill stick with my Hauupage cards. :) [18:26] what's a good dvd player for ubuntu ? [18:26] Mary-cy: why are you trying to remove that directory [18:26] Firefishe offtopic [18:26] rand0m: i recommend smplayer [18:26] niadh: Free desktop standards [18:26] Dr_willis I have on eof those as well [18:26] Does anyone know when Pidgin will be updated to fix the connection issues caused by ICQ-Network? [18:26] Mary-cy: You might try rebooting into single-user mode and remove the directory that way. [18:27] rand0m: vlc, smplayer, kaffiene, totem - there are billions but I reckon those are the best and most popular [18:27] Fryguy-- sweet thanks.. surprised to see you still here helping people.. have you slept yet ? [18:27] ubutom: Within the next few days. [18:27] ubutom: yes, there is a fix out on getdeb.net, or if you wait a while longer it will be part of main ubuntu repositories when it's ready [18:27] how do you mount a media that you attach after startup? [18:27] minhaaj theme installer? [18:27] rand0m: a little while [18:27] ubutom: The fix is undergoing testing right now. [18:27] Mary-cy: Single-user mode is labeled as "recovery" iirc. [18:27] Anyone know what the changes to the ICQ-Network were? [18:27] SPIES [18:27] i cant do it by rebooting!! [18:27] Fryguy--: you're inhuman! :P [18:27] k, thx guys [18:27] I am using ubuntu and LTSP [18:27] ERGLupin: use the "mount" command, and depending on what it is ubuntu should probably just mount it for you automatically [18:27] i am restoring the home folder each time an user log out [18:27] raytruz`: Aparrently ICQ does this every once in a while. From what I hear it involved a 1 line change in the pidgin source. [18:28] Fryguy--: Is secretly just a more elegantly coded Ubottu [18:28] ;) [18:28] raytruz` A fix will be out soon... offtopic for this channel [18:28] oh Fryguy-- [18:28] its mounted [18:28] but not showing up on desktop [18:28] ERGLupin: is it in places? [18:28] http://www.pcq.qc.ca/ [18:28] lo [18:28] yes [18:28] is there a way to get it to auto show up on desktop? [18:29] ERGLupin: i don't have a specific answer for you, but try googling for using gconf to change settings for what shows up on your desktop [18:29] ok thank you [18:29] ERGLupin mounts in /media will show on the desktop [18:29] I have a Clevo laptop (Core duo) that refuses to boot with a kernel >2.6.20 unless I turn ACPI off, otherwise it just hangs very badly (power-cycle badly) without any error message. Any hints on how I can troubleshoot this one? [18:29] anyway, how can i allow a user to execute an specific command as umount /folder????? without sudo [18:30] New Irc Server: Just Write /server -m FreeBsd.serveblog.net [18:30] Mary-cy: type "mount" with no arguments, is the folder mounted somewhere [18:30] Zilvinas: Can we help you? [18:30] i have some troubles with hardy livecd, i'd like to mount a ntfs partition, but i can't find a way to be able to write on it... it says the disk is mounted read-only, but 'mount' tells me it is mounted with the option 'rw' [18:30] Mary-cy if outside their own /home.. you cant without permission [18:30] Mary-cy, sudo has a system where you can let specific users do specific 'root' type tasks. [18:30] <_nmap> How can i install the c man pages with apt-get? [18:31] frygyu: yes "gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/test1/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=test1)" [18:31] _nmap: install manpages-dev [18:31] Mary-cy: sudo was actually designed to do things like that. To give a user access to only a specific command and not full blown admin access [18:31] Oyama: I think it has something to do with ntfs-3g support [18:31] Oyama it mounts rw unless there are errors or it was locked by windows [18:31] Mary-cy: Allowing umount by a normal user is possible. However, unless the folder is actually directly mounted from a different drive/partition, there really is no such thing as unmounting a folder. [18:31] Zilvinas: Please keep in mind that this is a support channel and that such behavior is inappropriate [18:31] <_nmap> Pici: thanks. [18:31] dr_will: so how can i do that??? [18:31] oh my god, i hate windows [18:31] so if it is not listing either eth0 or eth1 am i out of luck? [18:31] fumbalah: isn't ntfs-3g the default in hardy? [18:31] are their any hooks that apt will call when updating say the kernel? I'm looking for some way to automate rebuilding custom kernel modules when the kernel is updated [18:31] guys, is there any place i can find the .config files for the default ubuntu kernel? maybe for amd64 :) [18:32] !kernel | mikkoc this might help you [18:32] mikkoc this might help you: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [18:32] Jack_Sparrow: how can i know if there are errors or if windows locked it? [18:32] thx [18:32] Mary-cy, read up on sudo, for starters it has a very flexiable system of allowing such things by altering the sudoers file. [18:32] Jack_Sparrow: and how do i unlock it? [18:33] Oyama if the monut shows rw and you can only read then you can reboot into windows twice and exit cleanly or force mount it [18:33] hey gang- im trying to partition a new sd card to have 4 partitions - but when i do sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb cfdisk has an error andcant read the disk. sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb1 doesnt do that though [18:33] Oyama Force Mount a Drive http://forum.notebookreview.com/archive/index.php/t-211958.html [18:33] mikkoc: do you have the kernel headers installed? if so it's in the root of /usr/src/`uname -r` [18:33] Oyama sudo mkdir /media/locked-drive then sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/locked-drive -o force substitute your locked drive for sda1 [18:33] okok drwill: but i dont mean give permission to umount command, just to "umount /folder" [18:34] jameslr, Pici: im not running ubuntu, i just need to have the default config that it runs [18:34] Hey, I have an update for mysql-server-5.0 that keeps showing up but every time I try updating it it says "subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1". Is there a way around that? [18:34] Mary-cy, yes. i do belive thats doable [18:34] Jack_Sparrow: thanks [18:34] i want to compile an ubuntu kernel on another distro [18:34] Hi all [18:34] Mary-cy if it is the same folder each time, change the permissions on that folder [18:34] Mary-cy, also dependign on how its mounted, if from the fstab, you can use the 'user/users' options to allow users to unmount/mount it. [18:35] maybe someone who's running ubuntu amd64 can pastebin the kernel config? [18:35] hi all, i'm using 8.04 with gnome and i can't seem to be able to get the suspend option to appear in the shutdown menu, and ideas? [18:35] New Irc Server: Just Write /server -m FreeBsd.serveblog.net [18:36] Crshman, could be it doesn't work with your acpi [18:36] Crshman, last i noticed.. if using gnome you need to be using gdm to get to gnome. if you use KDM and launch gnome that option wont appear. [18:36] dr_will: what i av to add to the fstab lab to, lets seay, user John can umount $HOME/.gvfs????? [18:36] Crshman, maybe other reasons for that. [18:36] Mary-cy, i have no idea what .gvfs really does other then its a gnome thing.. and ive no idea why a user would need to unmount it. [18:36] ah ok, i'll look into those options [18:36] After upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy there seems to be less volume on my HP laptop. Any hack for this? [18:36] ok thanks anyway [18:37] bipin: open up alsa mixer and check the volume settings [18:37] bipin: Are you sure your PCM volume is turned all the way up? also check alsa-mixer etc [18:37] !gvfs [18:37] hi, i'd like to change the ownership of my mounted drive /mnt/fantom from root to my user, ben. how can i do this? [18:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about gvfs [18:37] FarmCretin, what filesystem is the mounted filesystem? thats a key bit of info. [18:37] Fryguy, i tried that [18:37] its ntfs [18:38] my ethernet worked fine with xp profesional [18:38] ASULutzy, I've tried that too [18:38] hello [18:38] How can I access ubuntu shared files from another ubuntu machine? [18:38] FarmCretin: in fstab, specify uid= (1000 probably) on the options part of the mount [18:38] Xoferif: set up nfs [18:38] FarmCretin, then you either mount it from fstab with the proper options, or if using ntfs-3g use the proper options also. [18:38] Xoferif: or samba (nfs is easier for *nix to *nix) [18:38] !ntfs3g [18:38] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [18:38] <[jett]> !openvz [18:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about openvz [18:39] Dr_willis: my god, i think i'll just chmod 777 and be done with it [18:39] alright thanks a lot [18:39] <[jett]> !OpenVZ [18:39] bipin: I had a problem similar to that in OpenSuse, I ended up having to open up pulse-audios volume controller, not alsa's, or something like that... The only thing I can say is that it's unlikely that you will need to do anything other than find some volume setting that's currently set lower than it should be and turn it up, keep digging :-/ [18:39] Hey guys, I've got a question. I'm running Hardy 64bit with an nVidia 8400m GS, I remember reading recently that some people have managed to get audio through HDMI working with nVidia cards. I for the life of me, don't know how I can get that set up, it is one of the only reasons I still have to boot into Windows [18:39] FarmCretin, that will 100% NOT work... [18:39] Dr_willis: but... if you use chmod -R 777, wont it? [18:39] If I need to have both ubuntu and windows machines to access my shares, it has to be samba, correct? [18:40] FarmCretin: i told you specifically what to do, what is the problem [18:40] FarmCretin, not for NTFS... [18:40] Xoferif: yes [18:40] Hello. Does anybody know how to make a script containing sudo commands run at start up, without having to enter the sudo password? [18:40] FarmCretin, thats that whole issue.. its ntfs. example fstab for my hard drive --> /dev/sda1 /media/VistaBoot ntfs-3g rw,uid=1000,fmask=0077,dmask=0022 0 0 [18:40] !boot | BB88 [18:40] BB88: 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 [18:41] doesn somebody know how to install the php extensions source code? I need some of them to learning how to develop my personal extension.. Thank you [18:41] ASULtzy: thanks, I will keep digging [18:41] Pici, will I not need to use sudo if I use the rc.local? As I have tried this, to no avail? [18:41] BB88: Things that you run at startup (things in /etc/init.d/) will run as root [18:41] BB88, you do NOT. [18:41] BB88: rc.local should run as root, so you don't need sudo [18:41] BB88: No, those scripts run with root privileges. [18:41] lonejack, if you dont know how to install php from the source code, definitively you are not skilled to write a php extension [18:41] I was able to share some folders from an ubuntu machine and they're visible to the windows machine, but when I try to view them from another ubuntu machine I get nothing, I tried this command smb://ubuntu-machine-name/ [18:42] lonejack: you can use apt-get src or apt-src to get source code [18:42] Oh, I am just trying to set up my wireless network connection at startup, as I always have to type it in terminal using sudo, opposed to having it automatically do it in rc.local [18:42] Xoferif, you may need to use the ip# - unless the /etc/hosts file has the machine/ip# correct. names may not work. [18:42] joaopinto: be nice. [18:42] lonejack: if you know the package name, you can use apt-get source somepackage [18:42] BB88: there are other facilities for configuring network devices at startup [18:42] Xoferif: If you're sharing ubuntu to ubuntu, I usually just do sudo smbmount //the.ip.address.ofshare/theShare /media/share -o username=$USER [18:42] Fryguy--, What can you reccommend? [18:42] Xoferif: And just mount the share [18:43] Fryguy--,Pici: thank you!!! [18:43] BB88: no idea, i don't deal with wireless in *nix at all [18:43] thanks a lot ASULutzy, it worked, and thanks for the tip cause it was going to be my next step to mount the shares [18:43] can someone please check this just to make sure i got it right, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=848415 [18:43] Fryguy--, Ok. [18:43] anyone got any idea why when I log into know the panel crashes and nautilus fails to load? [18:43] Xoferif: No prob ;) [18:43] BB88: you can add the interface to the auto list in /etc/network/interfaces [18:43] sharperguy: 255.255.255.255 is going to resolve to a single ip [18:43] Pici, It was a honest feedback :) [18:44] joaopinto: Sometimes it helps to just not say anything [18:44] Fryguy--, what? [18:44] jameslr, are you familiar with setting up a connection here? [18:44] I have all my commands, but they are different to those that you enter in a terminal, no? [18:44] sharperguy: and why are you asking this in here? this is #ubuntu, not #networking [18:44] BB88: vaguely with wireless on ubuntu, but I could probably limp through it. [18:44] BB88: is your wireless adapter already configured and you just need to bring it up on boot? [18:44] Fryguy--, I didnt ask anything about networking.... [18:45] Fryguy--: can you take a look at this or somebody, and tell me what command to rotate my page which is upside down, to be right side up? http://www.juretta.com/log/2006/01/11/rotate_and_resize_images_using_imagemagick/ [18:45] sharperguy: sorry, got a bad nickcompletee === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja [18:45] Fryguy--, hmm, ok [18:46] jameslr, yes, I am using ndiswrapper, and typing the commands in manually once I have logged in, and it works 100% everytime. [18:46] How do I install Ratproxy? [18:46] chalcedony: convert -rotate 180 yourimage.ext newimage.ext [18:46] jameslr, perhaps if I post in pastebin, and you can alter accordingly for /etc/network/interfaces ? [18:46] chalcedony: convert -rotate xxx nameoffile nameofnewfile [18:46] TY :) [18:46] BB88: make a pastebin of what you run to start the adapter [18:46] BB88: then send a pastebin of your /etc/network/interfaces [18:47] 1 question is this room german or english speakin?

[18:48] Ajax_: http://code.google.com/p/ratproxy/wiki/RatproxyDoc looks like you uncompress chmod +x ratproxy and ./ratproxy [18:48] djzn: that's a function of your window manager (compiz or metacity), not gnome. Check out the configuration for compiz or metacity for setting something like that up [18:48] Mabus_, mine is french. you can get aroung it by running LANGUAGE=en-US [commands] [18:49] Jack_Sparrow: hmm? what i have is 1 page of 3 in a letter .. i scanned it the wrong way [18:49] fryguy: metacity is the thing I use... [18:49] doubled, i like my audigy 2zs it works good sounds good, good support.. but not sure if they are even avail any more. [18:49] thx Jack_Sparrow [18:49] fryguy: is there a way in metacity? (i know there is in beryl) [18:49] doubled, that x-fi card has not very good support. yet [18:49] Pici: apt-get source, works, thank you [18:49] djzn: i don't use metacity, so I don't know [18:49] Do anybody know from where is the System menu? Can I edit it? [18:50] xubuntuuser: no, it's not really user editable [18:50] djzn: You might be able to do something like that with devilspie [18:50] how do I open a .Jar installer in Ubuntu 8.04 [18:50] Dr_willis: yeah, i got an x-fi card :( [18:50] xubuntuuser: Use the alacarte menu editor [18:50] you can right click on the menu and see what customization options are available, and that's about all you are going to get without going through extreme effort [18:50] also, my monitor is not set at 85Hz... GTK is quite slow @ 50Hz [18:50] Ajax_: .jar files are java, open them using java [18:50] doubled, creative has some sort of drivers for it I think now. but no idea how good they are.

[18:51] my sudo commands take forever if i'm not plugged into a network [18:51] yes [18:51] when inserting a dvd movie, it automounts on my desktop, but when i right-click and hit "open with movie player" and totem movie player opens up, it says "An error occured: Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file " [18:51] jameslr, no worries, take your time. [18:51] thanks i will try this [18:51] Dr_willis: but i need the optical port for my ps3, and the analog tulip ports for my Wii and dreambox [18:51] djzn: should be pretty easy to change the refresh rate in the screens and graphics menu, or if you have to, just add it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:51] FRYGUY: Hello again, Does that mean Java is not installed? Since no suitable app will open it [18:51] my sudo commands take forever if i'm not plugged into a network.. can someone help me make sure sudo always knows that who my hostname is?

WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [18:52] it seems i can´t get ubuntu to work [18:52] Fryguy: what do you recommend? Sun Java? [18:52] halli [18:52] Ajax_: yes [18:52] i´ve tryied every install possible and always errors [18:52] !doesn't work | Correto [18:52] Correto: Doesn't work is a strong statement.

[18:52] and now i have a 17 gb file that i can´t delete [18:52] Tamale: Edit those two files or use the gui option to set the hostname and you should be good. It should just be your computer's name [18:53] Correto: we need specific errors to be able to help you. "it always errors" doesn't give us any basis to give you advice on [18:53] so there is no VISIBLE way to change the windows to be placed at center in Ubuntu/GNOME [18:53] emaks [18:53] Correto: be a little less vague and we'll see what we can do to facilitate you [18:53] errors lots of them [18:53] Dr_willis: im gonna try and get that driver working [18:53] djzn: you can always change your window manager [18:53] djzn: Like I said, you can use devilspie to do that, but its requires installing a package and editing a file. [18:53] !devilspie [18:53] devilspie is a tool that performs actions on windows in GNOME's metacity such as resizing, positioning, and pinning. Usage information can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie [18:53] Correto, what does the error messages say? [18:54] Correto: Does your hardware support Ubuntu? [18:54] ata:4 [18:54] Pici Fryguy-- Jack_Sparrow thank you it worked wonderfully :) [18:54] error [18:54] does anybody know an alternative to alacarte??? it's very big if you browse with a 56k-modem [18:54] but isn't this quite clever? KDE has an option for that... Why gnome doesnt? [18:54] Pici: 127.0.0.1 isn't supposed to be 'localhost' ? [18:54] i suppose so cause it is a normal P4 [18:54] when inserting a dvd movie, it automounts on my desktop, but when i right-click and hit "open with movie player" and totem movie player opens up, it says "An error occured: Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file " [18:54] djzn: it probably does, we just don't know where it is [18:54] anyone know what the problem is ? [18:54] #gentoo.de [18:55] and i have tried other linux distros [18:55] Tamale: 127.0.0.1 is localhost, 127.0.1.1 is your computer's name [18:55] should I use beryl instead of compiz? [18:55] all work ok [18:55] Pici: That's what it is [18:55] djzn: you have several options, 1. look at metacity documentation some more to see if you can find it, 2. run devilspie, 3. run a different window manager [18:55] Tamale: For the /etc/hosts file. [18:55] Pici: and /etc/hostname is right too [18:55] djzn: no, beryl is outdated, and has been replaced by compiz [18:55] rand0m: I got nothing [18:55] the only compiz thing in gnome I see here is the "appearance effects" [18:56] djzn: you can install "compizconfig-settings-manager" for a more complete bundle of settings/plugins [18:56] fryguy: oh yeah! [18:56] i have a linux driver for my ethernet card but how do i get ubuntu to detect it? [18:56] the panel [18:57] Hai, is this where I can get help? [18:57] Siege: follow the instructions from where you downloaded it for how to install it [18:57] will i be able to center the windows then [18:57] Fryguy--; thanks for frying anyway man [18:57] Siege: or google for something like "ubuntu ethernet " to get a bunch of results for issues dealing with whatever network card you have [18:57] Uhm, I tried downloading the .iso, but its only coming out as 26 MB.... [18:57] Not 700 [18:58] Dr_willis: i've just installled that driver. how can i begin to try and use my soundcard ? [18:59] Firstmate: it downloads fine for me, try a different mirror [18:59] Ok [18:59] hey everyone, is 8.04.1 out yet? [18:59] kanpachi: no [18:59] Do .DLL's work in Ubuntu?

How can i delete this file? does anyone know? [19:00] doubled, no idea on anything abut the xfi. [19:00] I will be right back james.

[19:07] My keyboard on my A215-S7437 will quit working(like power gets cut off) after using/during terminal how can i fix it, it is a laptop so it is no plugs. It works fine with Vista so it has to be a driver or something for ubuntu [19:07] legend2440 : i guess its either the mb or the soundcard, ive suspected theres something wrong with my pci slots in a long time [19:07] bllgard4: i understand that, but all its going to be for is so that if my headless server gets unplugged while im at college, all my family has to do is plug it back in and turn it on [19:07] will02: if it's a headless server, why do you need to log in? [19:07] legend2440 : yea xp and hardy [19:07] Fryguy--: I was just going to ask that [19:07] I've installed XFiDrv_Linux_US-1.18, which are drivers for my soundcard. I havent reset my computer yet, i cant find the soundcard when i try to switch to it via volume control. Any clues ? [19:07] Chrysalis: audigy works in xp? [19:08] will02: if you are using the server headless, then you are access it remotely, and there is no need for a local login to take place.. [19:08] legend2440 : now after reseting the bios ubuntu wont load x, screen goes blank and fixing x from safe boot disables the video so i cant use ubuntu with my video on now either ;/ [19:08] fryguy, thats true [19:09] legend2440: with the video driver enabled i mean. . . works without the driver from safe mode [19:09] fryguy, however my family is relatively computer illiterate so all i want them to have to do is plug it in and turn it on and it will work exactly the way it should [19:09] legend2440: i am giving up, i am just gonna resinstall the whole thing [19:09] Chrysalis: xp works fine though? [19:09] will02: and it will [19:09] legend2440: yea on xp now [19:09] hello [19:09] will02: What is the server doing? [19:09] hey guys its mesiox [19:09] Chrysalis: audigy works in xp?

I've tried both the nohide and crossmnt options in /etc/exports followed by a sudo exportfs -a and a remount on the client, but no success. Would anyone know how to fix this [19:11] i should go an dget something to eat :/ i've been in here 13 hours [19:11] Pici: i saw one thats the exact same as default ubuntu.. but the one for firefox is like a gnome one which gets the icons that gnome is using..

[19:30] Chrysalis: ok good luck [19:30] lol I recon I must have done this 100000000 zilion times [19:30] AAK: lost+found is a directory created as a result of ext running fsck and it puts bits and pieces of files in there that are recovered, it is not needed, and if you delete it nothing bad will happen [19:30] AAK: lost+found.... no idea, but keep it on the drive [19:30] Fryguy--, I am part of the "admin" group.

[19:32] DrLame: probably [19:33] DrLame: i dunno, i don't have a linux mount command on this machine, i'm not sure if the syntax is the same on bsd or not [19:33] delight: no idea, it'll be released when it's released [19:34] Fryguy--: device being something like /media/disk-2 ? [19:34] Hey, I have a stupid question: Where do i find the setting to tell Gnome or compiz, or whatever piece of software is responsible, *not* to switch virtual desktops on a mouse wheel event? [19:34] Fryguy--: wise words ;) we'll see when its there in futurama ;) [19:34] i just finished following this howto http://"ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4978329 , there is a part that tells you to "apt-get remove --purge nvidia*" and it also removed my atheros wifi drivers (restricted as well) I tried re-installing the restricted drivers by downloading them from another computer and installing the *.deb packages again but my wifi drivers are still not installed. any ideas? [19:34] DrLame: device being the iso file [19:34] D, [2008/07/03 13:55:31#26775] DEBUG -- rbotconfig.rb:33: no rubygems installed [19:34] /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rbot/dbhash.rb:81: warning: Invalid option :tas_spins [19:34] ? [19:34] Fryguy--: would dir be the /media/disc-2 then? [19:34] mst__: ccsm -> 'Viewport Switcher' plugin [19:34] lol [19:34] crdlb, Thanks [19:34] DrLame: what? [19:35] andy__: It doesnt look like you have any rubygems installed for whatever you are trying to run [19:35] What is the difference between an 'argument' and a 'parameter' for a linux command? [19:35] Ballena: nothing [19:35] hmmm but i did install it [19:35] Any file browse selection dialog takes forever to come up regardless of application triggering it, ideas? [19:35] crdlb, Yay! no more plam switching by accident (damn large laptop touchpad :-) ) [19:35] Fryguy--: nvm, I'll try and figure it out. thanks [19:35] Fryguy--: OK. But are there any differnce in other aspects like programming? [19:36] DrLame: you mount loop, you specify the iso and you specify where you want it to go, it's pretty straightforward [19:36] Ballena: I've never heard 'parameter' used in that context [19:36] crdlb: ok [19:36] I have a custom script that i wrote. Is there a way to automatically make it run at startup? [19:36] Ballena: they are commonly interchanged, but when they are differentiated, it's usually to signify that a function has parameters, and you pass arguments into the function [19:36] Fryguy--: that's what I was thinking, lol. Thanks [19:36] fxfitz: /etc/rc.local [19:36] Ballena, yes, an argument is like 'tail -n 10'; '-n' = argument; '10' = parameter [19:37] fumbalah thak you [19:37] Fryguy--, Great! And what exactly is rc.local? [19:37] coded1: aha. kinda like i thought [19:37] fxfitz: no idea [19:37] Ballena: but technically, 'tail', '-n', and '10' are all arguments in that example [19:38] Fryguy--, Alright, so do I just add the path to my script there? [19:38] ok. But when do you differ them? [19:38] crdlb: Ballena: exactly, it's strictly a semantic argument [19:38] fxfitz: i guess, like i just said, no idea [19:38] crdlb, relative to the command 'tail' -n is its argument and '10' is the arguments parameter ;) [19:38] i need to convert a pdf to a .doc ? [19:38] Ballena: when you are talking to programming snobs that make it a point to differentiate them [19:38] Fryguy-- ++ ;) [19:39] ok [19:39] thats what we do i guess [19:40] hi [19:40] ok Fryguy its done Im gonna reboot to see [19:41] Ballena, so do you know anything about installing a wifi driver with no internet? my atheros driver is somewhere on my machine but I cant seem to install it again [19:41] * rwg waits [19:41] chalcedony: kword can open a pdf and save as a .doc [19:41] coded1: no. How should I know? :D [19:41] wohoo... managed to do it right, lol [19:41] lol, same here [19:42] coded1: try the ubuntu forums [19:42] what is a good program from synaptic to mount a secondary HDD? [19:42] blah i'm so hungry, i really should get up here and eat, i've been in this channel way to long [19:42] hi i get this error when trying to copy a dvd that plays without difficulty reading `/dev/scd0': Input/output error 2528+0 records in2528+0 records out 1294336 bytes (1.3 MB) copied, 0.0391207 s, 33.1 MB/s anyone know whats wrong? I used this command to copy if=/dev/scd0 of=/home/bard/dvdcopy.iso [19:42] scifiguy951: the mount command is part of any base linux system, and does exactly what you need [19:43] Fryguy: Mind taking a shot at my question before you go? [19:43] bard_: try setting a higher blocksize [19:43] macksting: i'll be back, but go ahead [19:43] Fryguy: I did. Was it too long? [19:43] I did an SSH into my server to run sudo apt-get upgrade, it got disconnected, and now I can't run apt-get upgrade from a new ssh session because of the /var/lib/dpkg lock [19:43] kyncani: how can i get kword ? with command line? [19:43] i've been here 14 hours, so hurry up [19:43] how can I complete the upgrade? [19:43] is there a program from synaptic? [19:43] my ubuntu is the exact way i want it to be [19:43] mikedep333: delete the lockfile, it's in /var/lib/dpkg [19:43] how can i back it up now ? [19:43] (11:25:52 AM) macksting: I've got a CD which contains both executables and CD audio. When prompted, out of curiosity, I decided to play it as a CD to see what the audio was like; now, I can't seem to get the system to read it as a game CD anymore. How do I fix that? [19:43] thx [19:44] i dont want to lose it all :s [19:44] chalcedony: kword is part of koffice [19:44] scifiguy951: it's called mount, it's already installed [19:44] Frguy how? [19:44] chalcedony: just install koffice (the package) [19:44] http://tinyurl.com/ynupj4 [19:44] sudo apt-get koffice ? [19:44] how do i use it? [19:44] macksting: just go to "computer" in nautilus and explore the disc manually [19:44] this cahnnel is so croweded. people hardlyhelp here [19:44] kyncani: sudo apt-get koffice ? [19:45] scifiguy951: check out the manpage for mount. There's also a ton of documentation available for using it to mount drives on google. [19:45] Fryguy: Oddly enough, I can't seem to get it to cooperate in that regard, or I wouldn't ask. [19:45] scifiguy951: basically "mount /dev/sdwhatever# /mnt/location" [19:45] Fryguy: Unless Nautilus is the command line. (n00b.) If so, I haven't tried that. [19:45] chalcedony: use synaptic, the package manager to install koffice [19:45] scifiguy951: and look into adding a line to your /etc/fstab file to do it automatically when you boot [19:45] macksting: it's not [19:45] macksting: it's the standard file explorer uses [19:46] macksting: i don't use it, and i haven't run into the problem, so I don't really have any other advice for you, sorry [19:46] Macksting: Good to know. Thanks. [19:46] Er, Fryguy, same. [19:46] kyncani: do i HAVE to? i'm visually impaired, i need command line [19:46] minhaaj: what is your question [19:46] Fryguy: how do i set a higher blocksize ? [19:47] chalcedony: well, if you're visually impaired, i guess kword won't do then, as it's a graphical program [19:47] is there a way view unmounted drives? [19:47] scifiguy961: ls /dev ? [19:48] kyncani: the form is too, but social security wants it anyway. i HAVE to fill it out on the computer somehow. [19:48] scifiguy951: if you know the drive that you want to use, you can use fdisk or cfdisk to compare the partitions on that drive with the results of 'mount' of 'df', which will show you a list of currently mounted drives [19:48] scifiguy951: you can also use something like 'ls /dev/sd*' to get a list of hard drives on the machine (internal only, externals may or may not show up on that list) [19:49] Well that'd explain why Nautilus can't find files on it. The command line can't, either. Which is disturbing. [19:49] How do you restore GRUB from a live CD? [19:49] chalcedony: well, no hurt in trying kword then, install with sudo apt-get install koffice [19:49] scifiguy961: sudo fdisk -l [19:49] And yet it's still playing the damn music on command! Gads. I'm'a check to make sure this is a data CD at all, but... [19:49] i'll be back later [19:49] fs72: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+restore+grub+from+livecd&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [19:50] fs72: first 3 links look pretty helpful [19:50] * macksting sighs. [19:50] I'll have a look, thanks [19:50] Fryguy, turns out ejecting and reinstering the CD fixed everything by prompting me again. [19:50] Just thought you'd want to know. [19:50] Fryguy--: Any idea what I can do in this case: Running a program in wine. It forces me to set up the video before it will run. When I click the video tab of the setup it tries to auto-detect and freezes [19:51] I did try grub, find /boot/grub/stage1, etc and wrote a new bootsector but didn't see to take effect.

[19:58] oops disregard that [19:58] Hello.. I have a Lacie External Hard Drive which, with the help of someone here I managed to read from my Macintosh (which is running Ubuntu) some time ago. Unfortunately now I can read files from it, but am unable to write to it. Can anyone help me be able to write to this drive? [19:59] For some reason my sound stops working every now and then. Often it works in the first application I pick to play sound with (a certain game or audio player, for example) and then in no other after that. Only thing I can do is restart. And this also seems to correspond with a lot of my applications locking up, forcing me to restart the entire system. [20:00] th0r: well considering sourceforge can do it... (where's the source for sourceforge?) [20:00] tiglionabbit, didn't you put it in your account on sourceforge? [20:00] Can anyone help with my problem please? [20:00] th0r: not when I'm not logged in [20:01] pants: Have you checked the file permissions? [20:02] Hello i am trying to suspend my notebook and i get a bad eip value. Someone could please help me? [20:02] CroX - how can i do that? [20:02] CroX - it's an entire external hard drive that I'm unable to write to [20:02] pants: When reading the files, do you navigate there with Nautilus or somesuch? How do you read the files? [20:03] CroX - either through a file browser or just through the terminal [20:03] CroX - I've mounted the drive into a /mount/ folder [20:03] pants: Alright. In terminal, do: ls -la [20:03] Fryguy: Thanks. One of those links outlined a slightly different procedure to the one I followed and worked [20:03] pants: That'll list all files and their details, including file permissions and ownership. [20:04] CroX - okay I'm not actually at that machine now, but could you tell me what to do once it's listed? [20:04] Hi, does anyone know of a good WiFi manager for GNOME? [20:04] And there died Pidgin.. What the %¤# is going on with my computer? o_O [20:05] Nikilos: If you're using ralink then rutilt [20:05] Nikilos: what about the one that comes with gnome? [20:05] Nikilos: NetworkManager has always worked well for me [20:05] default wifi in ubuntu works good [20:05] Nikilos: the gnome one ? [20:05] pants: Well, it should say it belongs to yourname:yourname and that it have permissions rw-?????? or rwx??????, where ? could be anything. [20:05] you could try wifiradar [20:05] Nikilos: well, as decent as it gets for Gnome anyway - if you want something functional try KDE :) [20:06] Crox - okay, then how do I change those permissions? [20:06] sudo apt-get install wifiradar [20:06] pants: If it doesn't belong to you, you want to check out the CHOWN command: chown yourname:yourname file [20:06] Everytime I start my computer, I have to reconfigure my wireless settings to connect to my wireless router. I can never see the available wireless networks, either.

Can I come find you when I'm back to figure out whether it worked or not? [20:07] that is odd, you should check the forums [20:08] <_ba> got a bind question dns works fine locally on the server but when try to use the dns server on a workstation lookups are adding my domain like query: yahoo.com IN A + then query: yahoo.com+DOMAIN.NAME IN A + where should i look in my configs?

[20:08] Yes, but I haven't really had any luck with that. [20:09] Everything is "paused". I can't even start my terminal now. It's like something (my sound somehow?) is hanged up and the system is waiting for it to finish. [20:09] perplexing [20:09] Like on a god damn windoze system... [20:09] I'll try roaming mode again. I'll come back if I experience any more problems, thanks for the help. :) [20:09] you should probably check the forums [20:10] do you speek german? [20:10] julian__: Nicht.

[20:31] elliotjhug: tried typing like you said: mysql -u root -p (Newsong123) and it tells me syntax error, tried it without the brackets and it asked me for the pass again [20:31] zhaozhou: i have had the terminal open yes [20:31] gorgg: X Window is what allows your windows to run, i.e. the graphical interface [20:31] hi [20:32] ok, yes, i am using ubuntu, gnome or something [20:32] Cyrus25801, if you forgot the root password: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/recover-mysql-root-password.html [20:32] BRIGHTshadow525, alt+f2 -> gnome-terminal, or just look up terminal in the menu up at the left. [20:33] Thank you I am trying that now [20:33] there is a way to change it that is esier [20:33] is X always what allows your windows to run? [20:33] gorgg, Gnome, yes, gnome runs in X. Without X you would just have a big terminal, that's it. [20:33] Yea.... I can't even log in.... [20:33] The screen is cut off. [20:33] you can change the root password without knowing it [20:33] gorgg, And while you unpack the rar files, X crashes, right? [20:33] prakriti, why do you want to do that? maybe there is a better way around this? [20:33] zhaozhou: alrighty [20:33] joaopinto: haven't forgotten the pass i know it is the right one === Belial_ is now known as Belial [20:33] zhaozhou: that was the last time [20:34] hii. i have download some rar files that are like : xxxx.part1.rar xxx.part2.rar etc ... and they have password ... i try to open them with ark but it ives me error..and as i have read ark cant handle with password protected rar files.... is this right ??? do u know any software like ark that can open password protected files of type .zip .tar .rar etc ??? [20:34] Cyrus25801: mysql -u root -p mysql [20:34] zhaozhou: it has happened a couple of other times too, when i have not been unpacking rar's [20:34] Cyrus25801, then you have messed up with your mysql users table, and you need to use the root passwd recovery procedure anyway [20:34] hi [20:34] Cyrus25801: Or to reset the password, mysqld --skip-grant-tables --user=root [20:35] you can change the password without knowing it [20:35] lakis1982, have you tried unraring them with unrar ? [20:35] Ciao e tutti [20:35] yes [20:35] !it | Marek-gsm [20:35] Marek-gsm: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [20:35] I'm not really good with beginners at all. :-( [20:35] i wonder if i have some kind of problem with firefox, but i can't put my finger on any specific thing. only the screen sometimes gets blury/dimmed out.. until the fan is not that aggressiv :) [20:35] I've got a problem with my hp 710c , ubuntu do not see it ... Anyone can help me ? [20:35] that way you can remember it [20:35] gorgg, What graphiccard do you use, an what driver? [20:35] zhaozhou, try helping if you can - but don't feel obliged to say anything if you can't help, it only frustrates people more [20:36] Can I get to the terminal without logging in? [20:36] sydney-> whats an hp 710c for? [20:36] zhaozhou: u are asking difficult questions :) where can i check it? its a 3 year old laptop (asus) [20:36] BRIGHTshadow525-> you can not lest you log on [20:36] BRIGHTshadow525: ctrl + f1 I think [20:36] Wolphie: how do I stop the mysql server [20:36] printing [20:36] prakriti, maybe this? df -iT | perl -0 -ple 's/\n+\s+/\t/g' [20:36] only installed ubuntu, not done anything in particular with any drivers [20:36] ans also there is a way to get access to root on all user profiles === Tricky is now known as blampars [20:36] Cyrus25801: /etc/init.d/mysql stop [20:37] !who | sydney [20:37] sydney: 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 :) [20:37] how can I avoid havings tons of stuff loading into memory at startup (and thus falling into Windows boot-up nightmare)? [20:37] Prose, windows boot up nightmare? please elaborate [20:38] anyone? [20:38] unop: well, Windows is slower and slower because every application thinks it needs to have it's private place in the taskbar and thus loads itself in the memory and start-up [20:38] what? [20:38] lakis1982: What? [20:39] anyone? [20:39] zhaozhou: running hardware testing i had this message for the graphic part http://paste.ubuntu.com/24790/ [20:39] yes [20:39] hii. i have download some rar files that are like : xxxx.part1.rar xxx.part2.rar etc ... and they have password ... i try to open them with ark but it ives me error..and as i have read ark cant handle with password protected rar files.... is this right ??? do u know any software like ark that can open password protected files of type .zip .tar .rar etc ??? [20:39] Q: is there a way to do cpu throttling based on cpu temp? I want it to go into power save above 82C and into full above 70C... [20:39] lakis1982, if you know the password it handles them fine [20:39] lakis1982-> you have to know the password [20:39] i know the password [20:39] try wine or Win.rar [20:39] but it doesnt ask for a password [20:39] it gives error straight ahead [20:40] root password? [20:40] Wolphie: I ran the command you said and it gave me this: http://pastebin.org/48308 [20:40] lakis1982, are you sure you tried unrar? [20:40] lakis1982: go into the folder through the command line. type "rar e *rar" it should prompt you for passwd [20:41] Cyrus25801: sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables --user=root [20:41] Does anyone need there root password? [20:41] woah [20:41] rar e doesnt give anything [20:41] hi [20:41] !root | Gamble [20:41] Gamble: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:41] zhaozhou: i am using a ATI accleration graphic dirver [20:41] lakis1982, unrar filename.rar [20:41]  I have a Ubuntu network with approx. 200 machines, which kind of internet connection may I have (bandwitch)? [20:42] unop you need to find it out? [20:42] Well, I managed to log on... So what do I do now...? [20:42] Gamble, root's account is locked on ubuntu - meaning, it cannot be used to log on (using su or directly) [20:42] Jane_ux-> are all 200 host need to use same gateway ? [20:42] i know mine i was trying to help others find/change them [20:42] Gamble, to get a root shell -- use sudo -i or sudo -s [20:42] could someone take a look at this partial dmesg and see if anything related to wifi crashing (and not letting me start it again unless I reboot) [20:43] oh yeah link >< http://pastebin.com/m2087b06d [20:43] Gamble: unop is a bot [20:43] Gamble, we do not recommend enabling the root account -- it should remain locked [20:43] !ot | Ajax_ [20:43] Ajax_, please see my private message [20:43] i did this too [20:43] Gamble: Oops no, thats ubottu [20:43] Wolphie, i'm not a bot but i could be [20:43] unop: Apologies [20:43] unop: Yes, you could. :P [20:43] Luhta-> it is an experience i have had, wifi not able to sync up to an AP and freezes the whole system.. its i/o and irq related issue [20:43] i know how to access root safely [20:44] su root, pass [20:44] with all user accounts [20:44] Gamble, you do - but others don't -- so please never try getting others to have root enabled [20:44] What do I run in the terminal to find out my video hardware? [20:44] BRIGHTshadow525, lspci or lshw [20:44] amenado, well it doesn't freeze the system but I can't rmmod ndiswrapper and modprobe it without rebooting, something about the way it crashes knockes it out complete, would that still be resource based? [20:44] Okay. [20:45] Unop- what is the danger??? [20:45] unop: I usually give root a password, but generally don't log in as root. I just run commands as root 'sudo' [20:45] Wolphie: now it says: http://pastebin.org/48313 [20:45] you can get Rooted by being in Root [20:45] Luhta same effect as my experience..no network access.. [20:46] Cyrus25801: Run - sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld stop [20:46] amenado, well in that case can USB have its resources adjusted? this is a usb adapter [20:46] Gamble, it is rumoured that some applications break if the root account is enabled (i have not personally verified this) but moreover, people get the tendency to then log on as root directly (like on windows) - which is dangerous [20:46] Luhta same effect..no network access, you host is might as well be an anchor [20:47] yes amenaba [20:47] amenado, did you resolve it somehow [20:47] Wolphie: it says command not found [20:47] amenado:yes the 200 pc are using same gateway [20:47] and i did run that before i ran:sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables --user=root [20:47] Luhta-> nope.. [20:47] Gamble, Wolphie - yep, if you know what you are doing, then it's ok to have a root passwd - but it would not be fair to assume other people are as aware as you are about the dangers of root [20:47] is there anyone that can help me with a soundproblem on Ubuntu Studio with CS64xx chipset (Hercules Game Theater XP 7.1) using ALSA as sounddriver? [20:48] <_Emuk> does anybody know how to get the compiz cube? [20:48] Cyrus25801: You didn't use '-' in command to stop the MySQL server did you? [20:48] knokkels: ask a question, don't ask, to ask [20:48] Jane_ux-> you have done a traffic analysis on how much BW needed? erlangs and such... [20:48] both lspci and lshw see the soundcard but I don't get any sound [20:48] Alright you are correct [20:48] _Emuk: install compizconfig-settings-manager and configure it in there [20:48] sorry Fryguy-- heh [20:48] Hi. [20:48] Wolphie: no [20:48] anyway.. [20:48] I have a soundproblem on Ubuntu Studio with CS64xx chipset (Hercules Game Theater XP 7.1) using ALSA as sounddriver? [20:49] How do I show accented characters in TTY console? [20:49] both lspci and lshw see the soundcard but I don't get any sound [20:49] hi. my ubuntu crashed. it actually froze. then i had to restart (cold one) and afterwards i can not startup. i get a message that x can not start and then this "/lib/init/vars.sh :1 syntax error : "(" unexpected" anyone? [20:49] knokkels: is the sound unmuted, did you go through any of the gnome gui windows to configure it? does alsamixer show it? can you use aplay? [20:49] Wolphie: i ran this: sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld stop [20:49] kinda need it for my online DJing habit [20:49] Cyrus25801: Run: ps -fu | grep mysql [20:49] alsamixer shows it. I have a 2 red dots on the mic only [20:49] will try aplay [20:50] /etc/init.d/mysql stop [20:50] #ubuntu-de [20:50] Does anybody know how to input/show accented characters in the TTY console? [20:50] but I have no sound on my system, wine/winamp doesnt have sound/.. tried skype, tested first .. worked... changed nothing and 30 secs later it just didnt work anymore [20:50] kosnick, sudo aptitude install pastebinit && pastebinit kosnick, what is contained in your /lib/init/vars.sh file? [20:50] Wolphie: must have typed wrong it stopped now [20:51] knokkels: do sounds in linux applications work? [20:51] Cyrus25801: The mysql server has stopped now? [20:51] Fryguy--, which Gnome GUIs do you mean exactly? Settings/Sound? If so: Yes [20:51] michaelb : i tried "more vars.sh" and i get "this is not a text file" [20:51] fryguy yes sound does but some errors in wine have stopped sound [20:51] 68.104. [20:51] Fryguy--, short answer.. nope [20:52] did you configure wine to use alsa or oss for it's sound driver [20:52] Woo! I got it to work... I just had to change resolutions back and forth... Yay! Okay thanks anyway guys. [20:52] Alsa [20:52] kosnick, hm, still, try what unop said [20:52] michaelb : what would that do? [20:52] Wolphie: i juat ran sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables --user=root and got this: http://pastebin.org/48314 [20:52] knokkels: does it work if you don't use wine? [20:53] Fryguy--, aplay just sits there.. and doesnt do anything .. not even shoowing up [20:53] Fryguy--, : sadly no [20:53] knokkels: type aplay /dev/urandom [20:53] michaelb: its an execute file , i checked it [20:53] How can I edit my network connections from console? [20:53] Cyrus25801: If it has stopped now run: sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking & [20:53] ChaosTheory_: edit /etc/network/interfaces [20:53] I used to get sound locally only when I was streaming via winamp/shoutcast [20:53] just noone heard me [20:53] hai guys - just using irssi for the first time - neone know the command to list rooms on a server? [20:53] heh that sucked [20:54] Cyrus25801: Then run: sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges password "newpassword" [20:54] pebee: there's no easy way to do that in irssi, any of the room list commands return back a huge unusable spam of results [20:54] Fryguy: cheers - will just go with the #s I know :) [20:54] is there any program like winrar with gui ? [20:54] Fryguy--, : aplay /dev/urandom: Playing raw data '/dev/urandom' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono [20:54] lakis1982: nautilus has built in support for rar [20:55] knokkels: and you get 0 output? [20:55] bit low there :P [20:55] kosnick, I just mored mine (I'm on an Ubuntu system), and it is a text file (a shell script) [20:55] kosnick, /lib/init/vars.sh belongs to the initscripts package -- so i would guess that you need to reinstall the package. sudo aptitude reinstall initscripts [20:55] lakis1982 the archive manager will work with the unrar program [20:55] Wolphie: i juat ran sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking & and got this: http://pastebin.org/48316 [20:55] What package has xorgconfig? [20:55] Fryguy--, that is all I am getting from screen [20:55] knokkels: and no sound? [20:55] Ok [20:55] No sound whatsoever [20:55] ark doesnt not open password rarr files [20:56] and I picked Ubuntu Studio for the sound capabilities [20:56] unop : i will do that , how worse can it be? thx [20:56] Hi... is avidemux suitable for separating DVDs (unencrypted) into individual playable (on PC) files? ie, 1 dvd becomes 3 files? [20:56] the irony there [20:56] PeterFA, no ubuntu packages have that file -- might be from a third party package [20:56] knokkels: you'll have to play around with settings in alsamixer then. I don't know where, but there is some sort of conflict going on in wine and your main alsa config [20:56] PeterFA: are you talking about dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [20:56] unop, I need it to do some configurations... oh well, maybe my approach would be better. [20:56] Fryguy--, no. [20:56] I have a Radeon 9000 and I want to use the X driver for it.

[21:10] Cyrus25801: use -ppassword instead of -p password [21:10] Cyrus25801: Lol, I don't know then. Try just: mysql -- It should ask you for your password again, then enter it.

Detected 12.494 MHz APIC timer. Booting processor 1/2 APIC 0x1" then nothing, even with nolapic_timer. Any ideas? [21:18] How can I install php-mbstring?

[21:19] someone could help me? thanks a lot [21:19] Wolphie, i hardly think restarting mysqld would help [21:19] unop: I uninstalled and installed again [21:19] Anyway to open it up again? [21:19] Fryguy--, That's what I thought, so I used the same .config as the generic ubuntu kernel, which works as long as I boot with acpi=off, and removed thermal [21:19] unop, Cyrus25801, just start from scratch man [21:19] BRIGHTshadow525: open what up?

I compile bsd kernels, not linux kernels [21:20] Fryguy--: The panel where the minimized apps go. [21:20] unop: then what do I do [21:20] fryguy [21:20] ok :) [21:20] BRIGHTshadow525: right click on the other panel and there should be some options to create a new panel [21:20] ok guys n girls - several weeks ago after an update my ATI would no longer work with 8.04, i obtained a nvidia GeForce 8400 GS and want to enure that i am using it it to its fullest capabilties.

[21:21] ersul i will check [21:21] X3: why do you have so many hard drives [21:21] Cyrus25801, well make sure you have backed up the mysql database directories -- then sudo sh -c "aptitude purge mysql-server && aptitude install mysql-server" [21:21] erusul i will check [21:21] Fryguy--: I mean, i have one panel down there, but it's not showing any of the minimized apps. [21:21] BRIGHTshadow525: right click on the new panel then "add to panel". It should be obvious which thing yo uneed to add from there [21:22] unop: how do i backup [21:22] is inkscape good for this? [21:22] X3: which hard drive do you use to boot your machine [21:22] bolla85: probably [21:22] unop, what's the difference between aptitude and apt-get?

[21:23] I have 3 hdd 2 sata 1 IDE the IDE is where I have xp pro and the partitions for ubunto and linux swap [21:24] Wolphie, aptitude has a better dependency resolution strategy (it actually has two) - some syntax is easier in aptitude, it installs recommends by default (last i checked), etc [21:24] X3: and you are installing bootloader to (hd2) ? [21:24] unop: Oh alright [21:24] Fryguy-- - how can i run aoss? [21:24] J2: just google how to set it up. it's pretty straightforward [21:25] Fryguy-- thanks, what should i google for? oss wrapper?

[22:22] Kitar88, sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 [22:22] joaopinto, i have delete apache compltly and reinstall [22:23] unicum, yes [22:23] Kitar88, have you used the purge option ? [22:23] Fryguy--: triple v? [22:23] unop, yes [22:23] Kitu, yes to what tho? [22:23] SliMM: yes [22:23] i'm going to retry [22:23] rogue_trader>http://www.ss64.com/bash/ [22:23] erm, I meant Kitu [22:23] _2: and if you're ready for an adventure, decompile your DSDT with iasl and fix the bugs [22:23] brb going to switch to laptop and listen to some music in my living room [22:23] Kitu, you must use the --purge option on the remove command [22:23] Fryguy--: user@host or just host? [22:23] i use synaptic .. [22:23] SliMM: just host [22:23] and "complete delete" [22:23] pulse00: have you got two monitors connected right now? [22:24] Kitu, from the terminal: sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 [22:24] Kitu, might i suggest this. sudo sh -c " aptitude purge apache2 && aptitude install apache2 " [22:24] yes [22:24] Fryguy--: nothing meaningful to me [22:24] huhu :) [22:24] SliMM: pastebin it anyways? [22:24] or unop's suggestion [22:24] soundray, yes [22:24] <_2> soundray that's the thing. dmesg output sujest that acpi support whould "just work" but sensors-detect can't find anything and the gui powermanager can't start. "advneture" ? i don't C err C++ either [22:24] soundray, the second monitor simply clones the first one atm [22:24] what's the difference in apt-get and aptitude ? [22:24] into* [22:25] pulse00: that's great though, no? [22:25] hey guys, anyone know if theres a good way to search a network for ssh servers running? [22:25] Kitu, they are just difference interfaces for package management, follow unop's suggestion [22:25] Kitu: nothing really anymore just one is like synaptic but for terminal pretty much [22:25] meme03847: nmap port 22 [22:25] Fryguy--: just to extra debug messages: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24807/ (debug2, none debug3) [22:25] Fryguy--, really? [22:25] ok in french i would better understand [22:25] :) [22:25] Kitu, this might be better. sudo sh -c " aptitude purge $( dpkg -l | grep -i apache | cut -d " " -f 3 ) && aptitude install apache2 " [22:26] huhu [22:26] meme03847: yes [22:26] Fryguy--: just two extra* lol [22:26] _2: lm-sensors and acpi have little to do with each other. Do you get any output from acpi -V ? [22:26] Fryguy--, wow, thanks! [22:26] ? [22:26] does anyone know when intrepid ibex RC will be available for the general curious public? [22:26] <_2> soundray just the copyright notice [22:26] is there a certain chat for ubuntu+wine issues? [22:27] rogue_trader: October [22:27] rogue_trader: oh, you said rc -- probably late September [22:27] unop, aptitude in parano mmode :p [22:27] <_2> soundray http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d2a56b7e6 [22:27] rogue_trader: probably something late august or september [22:27] ah, nice now i'm on my laptop, lounging on couch and listening to some music [22:27] on my nice soundsystem :) [22:28] hiya, im having a problem with nvidia and my display, monitor switches off on bootup now, can anyone help? [22:28] but i write that unop thanks [22:28] SliMM: i don't have any other advice for you :( [22:28] Kitu, parano, qu'est que c'est? [22:28] euh [22:28] <_2> soundray and on a laptop "that's not good" [22:28] SliMM: maybe try ssh -1 [22:28] paranoïaque [22:28] in french [22:28] _2: if it was my laptop, I'd recompile the DSDT and see how it goes [22:28] in english i don't know [22:28] i am tempted to try a rolling distro like arch just to always get the latest stuff. besides having a fun but tough time setting up everything, why should I stay with ubuntu? [22:29] Kitu, paranoid :) [22:29] are there stability advantages of "frozen" versions of packages? [22:29] rogue_trader: most other distros you use are going to be harder to configure and not as well documented [22:29] djh82uk - what happens if you boot without 'quiet' and 'splash' [22:29] <_2> soundray only reason i don't is umm "you're speeking geek as far as i can tell" [22:29] Fryguy--: how can I delete everything stored on my computer regarding a certain ssh connection? [22:29] rogue_trader: of course [22:29] SliMM: ? [22:29] hi, all of a sudden when I try to access the other partitions on my HD, I get an error message: immpossible to mount volume, only root can mount volume dev/sda6. can anyone please help? thanks [22:29] (btw, the ubuntu community is so great - I would never leave the forums) [22:29] * _2 doesn't know what DSDT is [22:30] Fryguy--: i have connected via ssh to that computer when it had another password/OS (ubuntu desktop) so that may be a problem [22:30] lorenzo_, how are you trying to mount this volume? [22:30] _2: I don't know either, but I've recompiled it on various laptops following web tutorials ;) [22:30] SliMM: oh [22:30] SliMM: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [22:30] unop, well yeah, i am just trying to access, but it says it is not mounted, and wont let me mount it [22:30] <_2> soundray lol ok. have a tut bookmarked ? [22:30] unop, i test your command because it doesn't now [22:30] lorenzo_, perhaps. pmount-hal /dev/sda6 [22:31] hello [22:31] can anyone help me with xorg.conf? [22:31] _2: not where I am -- but it wouldn't help much, because they tend to be machine specific. [22:31] djh82uk: ask a question, don't ask to ask [22:31] lorenzo_, if that doesn't work - maybe sudo sh -c " mkdir -p /media/mountpoint && mount /dev/sda6 /media/mountpoint " [22:31] <_2> soundray ;/ === chaky_ is now known as chaky [22:31] Kitu, does that mean, the command has worked or not> [22:31] ? [22:31] _2: search for 'iasl dsdt toshiba' and the name of your model line (did you say portege?) [22:31] http://rafb.net/p/Sx6HK597.html [22:32] Fryguy--: is 1973 an inappropriate port? [22:32] unop, look that http://rafb.net/p/Sx6HK597.html [22:32] ok, I have a problem, with my display, in that it clicks off after the ubuntu logo, can anyone help? [22:32] unop, ok i will try that, thanks [22:32] SliMM: it's not the default port, but that doesn't matter [22:32] I cannot give anymore info as I don;t know what the problem is [22:32] <_2> soundray i said a135 [22:32] im on ps3 trying to install swfdec i followed the guide i had but i get this error : checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details.... plz help if u can [22:32] djh82uk: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:32] thank you, much appreciated [22:32] unop, in first i have juste launch : sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 [22:32] Eric7: have you installed "build-essential" [22:33] and aptitude install apache2 [22:33] ? [22:33] dont think so [22:33] Eric7: install that [22:33] Fryguy--: luckily i have physical access to the server [22:33] Kitu, are you sure you copied the command in right? sudo sh -c " aptitude purge $( dpkg -l | grep -i apache | cut -d " " -f 3 ) && aptitude install apache2 " [22:33] yes unop [22:33] Kitu, strange [22:33] i "re try" [22:33] _2: note, there is no need to compile iasl and the other tools -- they are all in the repos [22:33] sudo apt-get install build-essential? [22:33] Eric7: yep [22:33] this is a really noob question, but how do add a folder to the panel? [22:34] matthew__: right click add to panel [22:34] Fryguy--: a reboot solved everything [22:34] Fryguy--: thanks [22:34] hey. Im using Ubuntu 8.04. I tried to change my password but there seems to be a password policy in place that i would like to disable. Any help would be appreciated :) [22:34] matthew__: rightclick - Add to Panel - Drawer [22:34] Eric7: any reason why you aren't using swfdec from repositories? [22:34] <_2> soundray k. search for that string hit twice and both are showing sys/drivers/acpi/blacklist.c as the main event [22:34] Fryguy--: any idea regarding a subversion daemon? [22:34] simulous: pretty sure there is no password policy, what specifically is the policgy [22:35] SliMM: ? [22:35] my interne speed in ubuntu 8.04 very slower than windows vista and i connect via dial up modem, how i can speed up my internet speed in ubunu 8.04? [22:35] SliMM: what do you want to know [22:35] unop, in first commands when apache2 installed it, the installation had delete some packages ... and 5 or 6 same the result now with your command for the losts ... [22:35] matthew__: or just drag a folder to the panel [22:35] or just drag it @ matthew [22:35] thanks guys [22:35] Fryguy--: firstly, what do I need to install for a svn server? [22:35] unop, sorry still not mounting [22:35] it sayting my password is to short. [22:35] SliMM: nothing [22:35] SliMM: just install the svn package [22:35] Kitu, put to the pastebin whatever you see there [22:35] Fryguy--: subversion? [22:35] lorenzo_, ok, how do you know it isn't mounting? any errors? [22:36] unop, now it's better, just 3 missing : sh: libapache2-mod-php5: not found | sh: libapr1: not found | sh: libaprutil1: not found [22:36] I'm having a problem with crontab. If I set 00 0-23 1-31 1-12 0-6 somecommand then I think somecommand should be run at the top of every hour. However this is not happening. Is there something I am missing? [22:36] Fryguy--: is it both server and client? [22:36] ok [22:36] what's the default font in Ubuntu? I installed a theme that suggested a font, but I don't like it and want to go back [22:36] SliMM: i think the package comes with both [22:36] ok [22:36] wooow and i thought our helpdesk was busy! :P [22:36] SliMM: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion [22:36] I'll read the svn book then and hope for the best [22:36] simulous: it's fairly quiet atm [22:36] no, just nothing happens in the terminal, i only get a > and if i try to access the partition, i get the same error [22:36] <_2> simulous then make it longer [22:37] unop, no, just nothing happens in the terminal, i only get a > and if i try to access the partition, i get the same error [22:37] Fryguy--: ah, thanks, I like quick introductions better [22:37] lorenzo_, that means the command you typed in was incomplete -- make sure you have the right command [22:37] that does seem to be the obvious solution however that is the whole point in me changing it. :) [22:37] server irc.arrakis.es === verdell is now known as pipiii [22:38] Fryguy-- : my interne speed in ubuntu 8.04 very slower than windows vista and i connect via dial up modem, how i can speed up my internet speed in ubunu 8.04? [22:38] lorenzo_: if you get a >, you've used an unpaired 'quote' or (parenthesis) [22:38] unop, http://rafb.net/p/iIu1W169.html [22:38] simulous: you can set a password as root user and you won't get prompted for anything [22:38] server irc.arrakis.es [22:38] karname: why are you directing that to me [22:38] karname: i saw it the first half a dozen times you pasted it, if I knew i would answer you === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [22:39] Fryguy-- : excuse me [22:39] unop, "suppression" == delete [22:39] i c .

[22:39] simulous, you mean the admin group :P [22:39] simulous: ubuntu does that for you by default [22:39] is there a way to revert to the default fonts? [22:39] k almosted worked i think.... now i get this error ... configure: error: glib-2.0, gobject-2.0 and gthread-2.0 >= 2.12 are required to build swfdec [22:39] _2: possibly [22:39] simulous: just "sudo su" then "passwd simulous" (or whatever) [22:39] unop, but more of 5/6 packages in fact .. [22:39] yeah.... ha the administtators group :oP [22:40] is this the correct command? sudo sh -c mkdir -p /media/sda6 && mount /dev/sda6 /media/sda6 [22:40] thank you [22:40] Eric7, you know that swfdec is available from the repositories, right ? [22:40] brb [22:40] j_d_eisenberg: may I pm you?

[22:43] i need help about desklets [22:43] owner, you should use the non free adobe flash plugin, instead of gnash [22:43] any one use any wep code crackers [22:43] owner: gnash isn't a full fledged flash implementation (namely it open supports flash7, not flash9) [22:43] lorenzo_, sudo sh -c " mkdir -p /media/sda6 && mount /dev/sda6 /media/sda6 " [22:43] unop, why aptitude is in english and not apt-get ? [22:43] ;( [22:43] to use framebuffer, then just keyboard settings [22:43] owner: install the adobe flash nonfree package [22:43] how do you use the apt-cache command? [22:43] Kitu, je sais pas [22:44] Fryguy-- : in this time i am not aks from you that you say repeat! [22:44] ok i try [22:44] Eric7: man apt-cache will give you all of the syntax you need about it, cliff notes is "apt-cache search " [22:44] Eric7, from your package manager, search for "swfdec" [22:44] is there any other program to run desklet that own a rythmbox desklet ? [22:44] unop, ah i thought the problem was i had left one quote, and instead i had missed one. sorry [22:45] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:45] I screwed up my video configuration and now I can't get xorg to boot unless it's an ultra low resolution, and that's on backed up configs. [22:45] is there a program called 3copy? [22:45] does not give me any options to adjust gfx settings [22:45] djh82uk: don't use framebuffer, that's almost certainly the wrong choice [22:45] I use the package configuer and it fails, producing a useless config. [22:45] I also tried it without [22:45] I'm getting an error with this interfaces file on one machine but an almost identical config (different only with the ip addresses) works fine on another box, The error I get is: /etc/network/interfaces:27: duplicate option ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces" http://paste.ubuntu.com/24816/ [22:45] it's damage that ubuntu have not restore system [22:45] ok i found the nonfree flash one.. just search forjava nonfree now?

I'm tryping to get it to import the music titles from a network drive and it doesnt seem to work :( [22:46] ok thank [22:46] owner, sun-java6-plugin for the browser plugin [22:46] how can I copy my home madde DVD to HDD as an AVI or MPEG? [22:46] unop, it says if i have window i can use the safely remove hardware option; or else i can force mount. but I cant really safely remove hardware, i'm talking about partitions on the HD itself. Is using force a risk? [22:46] do i need both or the one for the browser only [22:46] telexicon: does the file have the same permissions on both machines? [22:47] owner, install sun-java6-plugin and it will take care of the rest [22:47] lorenzo_, do you have an error message there? [22:47] meh gotta restart brb [22:47] unop, yeah, where do i paste it= [22:47] PeterFA: make changes to xorg.conf manually, usually faster [22:47] Fryguy--, is root:root 644 on both [22:47] what best of sound editor and studio manager in linux? [22:47] unop, apache work thank :) [22:47] !best | karname [22:47] karname: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [22:47] great.. thanks for helping out a nobody [22:47] karname: audacity is pretty good as a sound editor [22:47] Fryguy--: thanks, but there are awefully lot of settings and stuff I just don't know. [22:47] unop, but my script ... lol [22:48] owner, we are all someone :) [22:48] i don't my public_html [22:48] lorenzo_, ohh i see -- this is a windows ntfs partition that has not been properly dismounted -- you should be able to force mount it this way. sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o force /dev/sda6 /media/sda6 [22:48] Fryguy--: there is a script called xorgconfig that never failed me. [22:48] PeterFA: the config is only a few dozen lines long, it's pretty straightforward and human readable [22:48] unop, but it's good for this night, i'm going to sleep [22:48] Kitu, well, atleast you have solved on problem -- take this step by step, you will get there soon :) [22:48] Kitu, bon soir [22:48] Fryguy--: how can I make svnserve start at the same time with the computer, just like all other daemons? [22:48] bonne nuit et doux reves :) [22:48] unop, thanks [22:48] Hi all, I'm installing linux on a computer with only a wireless connection to the net. How can I get WICD from their repository, then put it on a flash drive from my Linux laptop to the new linux box? [22:48] Fryguy--: any auto configuer? [22:49] Ubuntu* [22:49] SliMM: make an init script, place it in /etc/init.d and use rc-update [22:49] is there a windows equivalent to the linux "find" command? [22:49] Fryguy--: it has more to do with modlines and driver names. [22:49] PeterFA: dunno [22:49] meme03847: grep. [22:49] SliMM, better edit /etc/rc.local [22:49] Is there a way to launch a program from the command line, and have it go to a specific workspace under gnome? [22:49] PeterFA: modelines are not needed anymore, you can just delete them [22:49] unop, yeah it worked! thanks [22:49] distatica: check out devilspie [22:49] Fryguy--: actually they are still needed unless you use kde or gnome really [22:49] kitche: not in my experience [22:50] lorenzo_, when you have time - unmount the volume and run this command. sudo aptitude install ntfs-tools; sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda6 # use with caution [22:50] lorenzo_, nice [22:50] oh, here's another question regarding ssh, how can I run programs on my computer using input from ssh? [22:50] Fryguy-- : is there another program ? [22:50] lorenzo_, sorry that was ntfsprogs not ntfs-tools [22:50] unop, can i do that for the other partition on which xp is installed, as well? or do i risk any data loss? [22:50] hey, can you install ubuntu completely in LVM, including swap? Also it is better to leave some important partitions out like boot/swap? [22:50] karname, http://ardour.org/ [22:50] karname: i'm sure there is, i'm not an encyclopedia of available linux packages, search apt or google [22:50] meme03847, the little search dog [22:50] PeterFA, no, the other way, i mean the linux find command, not the windows find command [22:50] SliMM: elaborate? [22:51] for example, how can I use... gparted to manage partitions on another computer [22:51] After you start a webcam, it takes a minute to autobalance the brightness and color and all. is that done via the drivers or via the v4l software? [22:51] lorenzo_, well, unless that partition has the same problem requiring you to force mount -- don't do it, ntfsfix is to be used sparingly [22:51] meme03847: no, there's no equivelent. [22:51] unop, what is ntfs tools for? [22:51] European-African: you can install ubuntu with lvm [22:51] European-African, the only one you have to leave out is /boot .. everything else can be in lvm [22:51] European-African, if you are going to use LVM all partitions should go into a VG [22:51] SliMM: X11 forwarding [22:51] lorenzo_, for the ntfsfix command [22:51] PeterFA, sweet [22:51] Fryguy-- : tanks [22:51] SliMM: assuming xauth is set up (it probably is). ssh -X 192.x.x.x. and then if you run a gui application, it should pop on the machine you are connecting from automatically [22:52] Fryguy--: well, X11 forwarding works the other way round [22:52] unop, well that partition is not mounting either. for now i dont need to access it, but i may in the future? should i wait? any possibility of the problem fixing itself when I use XP again? [22:52] SliMM: you might need to play around with exporting DISPLAY to :1 or something, google for X11 forwarding and you'll get some more info if you need it [22:52] Can someone please help me out..?I cant get my sound card to work. I have a soundblasters audigy 2.. ive tried configureing the mixer and have turn all availalbe options on and off it doesn't seem to work ... IF anyone can give me some tips on how to get it workin i would really appreciat it... [22:52] Fryguy--: I mean, I use programs on the server to play with local stuff [22:52] Fryguy--, I was hoping for something that didn't run in the background, but I think I will try this anyways, since it looks useful for a bunch of things. thanks :) [22:52] thanks, it is anything better as a primary partition as appose to in a LV, swap for instance? [22:52] is any one here [22:52] oh, no you can't do that [22:52] SliMM: [22:52] I want to use programs on my local computer to play with remote stuff [22:52] lorenzo_, ideally, you should fix this in windows -- boot up into windows and use the chkdsk commands on the volumes i.e. chkdsk /f /v d: [22:53] Fryguy--: ok, thanks [22:53] unop, ok [22:53] lorenzo_, i assumed you didn't have windows - which was why i suggested ntfsfix [22:53] thanks [22:53] Fryguy--: i'll stick to cli programs [22:53] Fryguy--: or use sftp :-? [22:53] unop, no i do have xp installed. thanks a lot, you have been very helpful [22:54] unop, all the best, take care [22:54] thanks, you too [22:54] How do I get the current timestamp? I want to use it in a bash script. [22:54] Ballena: `date` [22:54] Ballena, 'date' [22:54] Ballena, timestamp as in seconds since the epoch? [22:54] what does this mean: This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. [22:54] ? [22:54] Ballena: use my quotes, not danzas [22:55] SliMM: it means it runs when you turn into multiuser level [22:55] dandel: OK. How do I make the results of 'date' a variable? [22:55] (which happens after the network comes up on ubuntu systems [22:55] Ballena: use my quotes, not danzas [22:55] Ballena, var=$(date) [22:55] Ballena, it's right how Fryguy-- says, or you can use $(date) if you don't have an american keyboard [22:55] join #hqa.nl m3kk3r [22:56] Ballena, use $() rather than `` actually :) [22:56] Fryguy--: it seems that operating systems are quite complex :-P [22:56] SliMM: eh, not really [22:56] unop: ok [22:56] thanks [22:56] telexicon or joaopinto, is swap better in a primary partition as appose to being in a LV? or does it not make a difference? [22:56] European-African: no difference [22:56] Fryguy--: well, I hope I'll have time to study this in detail [22:56] Fryguy--, thans [22:57] European-African, no difference [22:57] The $( ) notation is preferred in modern bash scripts. [22:57] k === threethirty is now known as threethirty_away === max762 is now known as _max_ [23:01] how can I disable move the desktop icons??? [23:01] which ones? [23:01] all of them> [23:02] i just installed 8.04 and i cannot get past the login screen, i type in my login/pass, and it looks like its going to go to the desktop, and then the screen goes black and im taken back to the login screen, it will not stop doing this [23:02] yep [23:02] right click? [23:02] sjdurfey: take a look at /var/log/Xorg.log and see if anything jumps out [23:02] how do i access that from where i am? [23:02] sjdurfey: ctrl-alt-f1 [23:03] well, that didnt work, the screen is all fucked up now [23:03] right-click!!!??? nop [23:04] why does my sound system fail after a "suspend" [23:04] the screen is way off center and the top of the screen as green bars going across the top [23:04] ?

[23:05] Hello, I've followed the following steps to share my internet connection: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html and it worked fine, but after I've restarted the internet sharing is gone, I wonder how I make it share the internet on startup? also what of those do I have to repeat now to share my internet? thanks [23:05] hlfshell: install openssh-server [23:05] amortvigil, eventually because it's a low interest channel :) ? [23:05] <|thunder> Hello all, Anyone here ever got RubiconX working on ubuntu ??? [23:05] Fryguy-- I came back in here to tell you I'm sorry [23:05] jyoseph: ?

[23:06] I feel so horrible, sorry dude [23:06] no config needed [23:06] lol [23:06] amortvigil, the interest will not increase just because you have moved here ;) [23:06] just enabled the device driver [23:06] that's pretty awesome [23:07] <|thunder> Anyone been able to get this sweet ass game working ?? http://www.marathonrubicon.com/ [23:07] sorry man, that friggen sucks [23:07] Is this the right channel to ask about trying to connect to my Ubuntu PC from my Mac? [23:07] * DIL you gotta believe that there are some snart people in here jy [23:07] no one knows the answer? :( [23:07] joaopinto, i can always try :) [23:07] oldjohn: yes [23:07] at least, how can I restart the pulse audio server? [23:07] Fryguy-- but on another note, Ubuntu has never looked so juicy [23:07] connecting via samba ssh or sftp? [23:07] or asla or whatever I am using [23:07] wow [23:08] <|thunder> SliMM; sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart i think [23:08] SliMM: /etc/init.d/(somethingthatlookslikealsaorpulseaudio) restart [23:08] SliMM: ls is your friend [23:08] Fryguy-- I owe you huge tho... thanks [23:09] Fryguy--: is the /var/log/Xorg.log file created after a login attempt? [23:09] sjdurfey: yep, it might be called something else, just take a look in /var/log, the file that you need should be obvious based on the hint [23:10] is there a way to determine where ubuntu is hanging during the loading process? [23:10] Fryguy--: the problem i am having is that after i login and Xserver restarts, i hit ctl+alt+f1 and that causes my system to freeze [23:10] my computer got kinda borked, and i'm curious to see what happend [23:10] sjdurfey: no idea then [23:10] so don't press ctrl alt f1 [23:10] hse-hoens: yes remove splash from menu.lst [23:11] I'm trying to get ssh up and with the wrong combination I'm added to the denied hosts, how can I make it stop adding my remote computer to this list? Or at least change the number of failures before it adds the remote host to the list? [23:11] could there be a problem with /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [23:11] so i have to login with a live cd, and then edit that file? [23:12] powertool08: authorized and denied hosts are stored in ~/.ssh/ just edit/clear that directory [23:12] sjdurfey: sure [23:12] Fryguy--: thanks [23:12] sjdurfey: there could also be a problem with the driver that you are using for graphics [23:12] hello [23:12] Fryguy--: /etc/init.d/pulseaudio doesn't echo anything [23:12] how can I format my mp3 player? [23:12] and it doesn't seem to be working [23:12] I am trying with mkfs command, but I'm getting an error [23:13] SliMM: you used restart with it [23:13] Fryguy--: i did [23:13] SliMM: no idea [23:13] k [23:13] I can access my Mac from Ubuntu PC on my LAN using a web browser. After installing some package (didn't write it down and can't identify it now), I am able to access the Ubuntu PC with a web browser on my Mac. But I only get the page that says, "It works!" But I can't seem to get any further than that. How can I see the file structure of the Ubuntu PC? [23:13] SliMM: i don't use pulseaudio, and I don't put my *nix machine into suspend so I can't help you [23:13] When I want to use the file browser and open a file, before I do I type "gksudo nautilus" in terminal.... is that okay? [23:14] hse-hoens, no, simply type 'e' or something similar on grub boot menu, remove 'splash' and then type 'b' for boot; sorry letters coult be different ... check tips in the menu [23:14] Hello. I have a UPS connected to a machine running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. `lsusb` lists it as "051d:0002 APC Back-UPS Pro 500/1000/1500". What nut driver do I need to access that device? [23:14] Fryguy--: perhaps I should stick to asla for now [23:14] oldjohn: using a web browser to browse computer contents isn't the right way to be doing that. You want to set up an NFS share. Google "ubuntu nfs" for how to do it, and to access it, use directory utility in mac (assuming you are on leopard) [23:14] Fryguy--: I only see authorized_keys, id_rsa, id_rsa.pub, and known_hosts, but in /var/log/denyhosts it lists my remote pc several times (these are just messages right? so deleting them won't help) [23:14] oldjohn ... have you tried something like file:/// in the browser ? [23:14] powertool08: why is it getting denied [23:15] vjoe, which error? [23:15] Fryguy--: not entirely sure [23:15] somebody know a solution of the icq oscar protocal change ? (the sign in error 0x1c) [23:15] powertool08: /var/log says [23:15] in LICQ [23:15] how do i watch youtube videos in epiphany without using proprietary stuff like adobe stuff (plus adobe has no 64 bit support i dont think)? [23:15] oldjohn: By default only the contents of /var/www/ is accessable via HTTP. [23:15] bl0xx: getdeb.net has a new package available [23:15] s3a: try swfdec-plugin [23:15] jyoseph ... it is of you want to run a nautilus window as root to do a specific thing and then close it. [23:16] kitche: is that free as in freedom? === yacc_ is now known as yacc [23:16] has anyone got trackpoint scrolling (ala "EmulateWheel" in X11) working in Hardy on a ThinkPad ? [23:16] s3a: gnash [23:16] grobda24 yeah that's usually it, ok cool thanks [23:16] s3a: adobe flash works fine in 64-bit. As for a free solution, you can try gnash, but it doesn't work very well [23:16] ok thx fryguy ... i tried synaptic but no new package [23:16] s3a: umm probably I m more into free as in freedom not as in free as in free speech [23:16] bl0xx: like i said, getdeb.net [23:16] bl0xx: i didn't say use synaptic [23:16] mneptok: Fryguy--: is "swfdec-plugin" gnash? [23:16] jyoseph .. np :) [23:16] i know [23:16] s3a: no [23:17] Fryguy--: so wat is that? [23:17] another flash thing [23:17] i'm gonna hang out here and see if I can learn a few things [23:17] that works equally as poorly as gnash [23:17] Fryguy--: is that 100% free also? [23:17] s3a: no idea [23:17] Fryguy--: /var/log/ [23:17] !info gnash [23:17] gnash (source: gnash): free SWF movie player. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2-0ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 328 kB, installed size 1000 kB [23:17] Fryguy--: cuz install gnash dint rely help [23:17] s3a: download the flv, play it with mplayer [23:17] powertool08: denyhosts probably [23:17] or messages [23:18] !info mozilla-plugin-gnash [23:18] mozilla-plugin-gnash (source: gnash): free SWF movie player - Plugin for Mozilla and derivatives. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2-0ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 153 kB, installed size 308 kB [23:18] Hmm having difficulty getting anything to play in Banshee....songs play fine in Rhythmbox - any hints? [23:18] s3a: ^^^ [23:18] hi all, i'm having some problems putting ubuntu onto an old laptop [23:18] Fryguy--: im using epiphany and not firefox btw [23:18] hello guys :-) can anyone recommend a reliable USB soundcard that works with ubuntu don;t want to spend too much :-) [23:18] Al-G77: What exactly are you trying to do? [23:19] Al-G77: any reason why it needs to be usb? and why you aren't just using your onboard sound card? [23:19] hello again gordon [23:19] Al-G77: ah, it's you [23:19] I thought I recognised the nick [23:19] i got 5.1 surround sound [23:19] no licq package founded on getdeb.net , only pidgin [23:19] There is no sound...looks like its playing, but no movement of the track indicated in banshee [23:19] so need a soundcard that does 5.1 [23:19] TheMinister, how much memory does the laptop have? [23:19] Fryguy--: 2008-06-30 18:43:38,479 - denyhosts : INFO new denied hosts: ['192.168.1.5'] [23:19] what's the most common type of drive im likely to have? im trying to look at harddrive enclosures, but the options are 2.5", 3.6", 5.25 [23:20] do we have 1337 users in the channel or is this a joke [23:20] Al-G77: your onboard card doesn't do 5.1? pretty much every onboard soundcard made in the past 10 years or so does 5.1 [23:20] aye 1338 now [23:20] powertool08: check /var/log/messages [23:20] im trying to use an alt disc to install, but it just tries a normal install, or at least one that looks like it- what is going on? i thought it was supposed to be text based? [23:20] rand0m: 3.5" [23:20] nope lol it's a dell optiplex 745 so not great sound support [23:20] rand0m: if it's a desktop, if it's a laptop it'll be 2.5 [23:20] hello [23:20] rand0m: 5.25 is used for cdroms and stuff [23:20] TheMinister: not really it uses the debian installer instead of the gui [23:20] i'm trying to get visual effects working but i get a "Desktop effects can not be enabled" [23:21] Fryguy--: nothing :/ [23:21] anyone run into this before? [23:21] up_the_irons: Works in Konqueror here, for example. [23:21] Al-G77: so go grab an old cheap sblive or something [23:21] powertool08: look around the other log files [23:21] how do i tell ncurses to make lines instead of dashes [23:21] so its going? even though it is taking forever? [23:21] it's a mini case so would need to be a half height pcie card [23:21] JoshuaP0x: are you running 3d accelerated drivers? [23:21] Xoferif: hahah, ubuntu isn't very 1337, though that is amusing [23:21] dont know [23:21] vlt: do you mind pasting the relevant lines of your xorg.conf? i can't see to get it working on my X300 [23:21] dont think so [23:21] don't really know which ones would work with ubuntu [23:21] JoshuaP0x: well you need 3d acceleration to use compiz [23:22] Does anyone know where I can get a bunch of used ThinkPad Laptops? I want to setup a mobile Ubuntu computer lab. [23:22] how do i use that? [23:22] DigitalNinja: from a computer show most likely [23:22] DigitalNinja: ebay [23:22] JoshuaP0x: how do you use what [23:22] Checking for Xgl: not present. [23:22] Found laptop using ati driver. [23:22] kitche: Don't have those in Anchorage Alaska. [23:22] up_the_irons: I think it's rather a Konqueror feature than something X related ... [23:23] Fryguy--: awesome, thanks again. please tell me you get paid for this [23:23] rand0m: no [23:23] vlt: oh ok [23:23] tomd123: I could look on ebay. [23:23] i found i need "In this case, you will need to install the glibc-devel, python-gobject-devel, and libglib2-devel packages. Please note that since you are using 64-bit, that these package names may vary a bit on your system." [23:23] how can i get them? [23:23] vlt: the one i'm talking about is X11 related. for example: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=313085 [23:23] Eric7: apt-get install [23:23] Does anyone know of an online store that would have used ThinkPad laptops? [23:23] dont work [23:23] says not found [23:24] Eric7: then you need "vary the package names a bit on your system" [23:24] eric@Chad:~$ sudo apt-get install glibc-devel [sudo] password for eric: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package glibc-devel eric@Chad:~$ [23:24] lol [23:24] Eric7: like I told you a while ago, ust apt-cache to identify the correct names of the packages that you need [23:24] DigitalNinja: I dont either at least not anymore :( [23:24] Eric7: try Administration -> Synaptic perhaps. apt-cache search is also useful [23:24] k lemme try [23:24] Fryguy--: well, you're a good man for helping everyone so much. whenever i pop in, it's always you answering like 10 questions at a time, one after another. Truly good work man, thanks again. [23:25] rand0m: i haven't really left [23:25] since 11 last night :) [23:25] BRB [23:25] lol, we're same timezone eh ? [23:25] rand0m: going for the 24hour marathon session [23:25] rand0m: EST [23:25] same [23:25] Thanks all [23:25] I'll do some searching [23:25] I'm having some trouble installing java in firefox 3 [23:25] how can i do so a user only cansafe [23:25] apt-cache search glibc-devel doesnt work what exactly is the command? [23:25] Why would I get: "The requested URL / was not found on this server." for both of my sites on my server? I am 99% sure that my virtualhosts files are correct...are there other things I should be checking? [23:26] Eric7: it works, you are just searching for the wrong thing [23:26] I'm having some trouble installing java in firefox 3--Hardy Heron, 8.04 [23:26] try searching for just glibc for example [23:26] Fryguy--: gotta give yourself a break at some point though buddy - i've heard of people going into cardiac arrest after insane marathons like that. [23:26] thena gain that was with gaming, not helping linux noobs lol [23:26] Fryguy--: I think I'm going to purge and reinstall, so when I copy my private key, I copy id_rsa.pub from ~/.ssh to my remote host correct? [23:26] how can i do so a user only can save documents in a specific folder eg. /home/user/Documents [23:26] Good evening. I just installed Ubuntu on a pc, got an ATI card with the "unsupported" ATI drivers, and everything seems to work fine. However, how can I tell X to use a refresh rate higher than 60 hz? Do I have to hack into xorg.conf or is there a more user friendly (trn: for dummies) procedure? [23:26] how do i tell ncurses to make lines instead of dashes [23:26] Forest: search for sun java 6 plugin package [23:26] powertool08: it gets catted to authorized_keys of the other machine [23:26] powertool08: .pub is your public key [23:26] E: Invalid operation glibc [23:26] powertool08: 1 per line [23:26] !ipod [23:26] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [23:27] tomd123: I've installed java already as it instructs [23:27] Forest: you also have to install the plugin === Shadow_X|zZzZz is now known as Shadow_X [23:27] Eric7: apt-cache search glibc [23:27] tomd123: and put links in the firefox plugins folders [23:27] powertool08: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys I believe [23:27] Eric7: btw, it's probably glibc6-devel [23:27] Forest: no, don't do that [23:27] tomd123: ok, how do I install it? [23:27] Forest: the package should handle all of that for you [23:27] tomd123: the package? [23:28] Fryguy--: and what if the remote machine is WinXP with putty? [23:28] k big list [23:28] Forest: install sun-java-plugin or something like that [23:28] What's the catalan channel [23:28] powertool08: ? [23:28] tomd123: I have it... [23:28] powertool08: putty is an ssh client, not a server [23:28] tomd123: just a sec [23:28] how can i do so a user only can save documents in a specific folder??? eg. in /home/user/Documents [23:28] I just setup a raid 5 array, I can see the array in ubuntu but I cannot mount it [23:29] Storrgie: what did you use to create the array [23:29] Fryguy--: I realize this, you said to cat it to the authorized_keys on the other machine, other machine referring to remote host right? Does XP have an authorized_keys file? [23:29] Forest: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [23:29] found glibc-doc - GNU C Library: Documentation? [23:29] tomd123: i have it [23:29] Fryguy--: I know we have talked before, I originally used mdadm to create the array, but I decided for cross compatability to create the array in my bios and setup fakeraid with dmraid [23:29] powertool08: xp doesn't have an ssh server. Whatever server you are using you'll have to read it's documentation to see where to play public keys [23:29] tomd123: I think i might know the problem, trying to fix right now [23:30] Forest: just fire up firefox, what's the problem? [23:30] Storrgie: no idea how to help you then, sorry [23:30] Fryguy--: I have installed an SSH server on Win2000 before, though [23:30] Storrgie: btw, mdadm is more cross compatible than fakeraid [23:30] OpenSSH I think [23:30] tomd123: it doesn't show java is installed [23:30] brandano: yes, not part of the operating system, a completely separate application [23:30] tomd123: but I'm using firefox in another folder than the official one, that may be why [23:31] Forest: ya.. [23:31] brandano: so like i just said, he's going to have to read the documentation for the implementation he chose to see where to put keys, since there is no standard location [23:31] Fryguy--: But the xp machine would be acting as a server unless I'm trying to log into it right? I want to log into my Ubuntu machine from XP Ubuntu=server:XP=client [23:31] Fryguy--: *wouldn't [23:31] powertool08: right, so why are you putting your public key there [23:31] anyone here like a challenge? [23:31] Fryguy--: not with windows that I knew... but I am having a mounting issue so can we talk about that? [23:31] xchat??? [23:31] Forest: if you're using Firefox in a different folder you need to symlink the extension to the jdk [23:31] powertool08: your public key goes on the server, not the client [23:31] Fryguy--: I meant private key [23:31] I have a box running ubuntu server on which I have recently edited the fstab, accidentally adding an invalid argument and rebooted. now the remount of the root partition as rw on boot is failing so the root partition is mounted as ro. [23:31] Forest: well if you're compiling your own, you might have to manually add the java plugin [23:31] Storrgie: i have no idea how to fix your mounting issue if you are using dmraid [23:32] the only access I have to the box is via ssh but for some reason it won't authenticate via sudo or su with a ro root filesystem, if I could get a root shell I could fix it, I just don't know how to get it to authenticate su or sudo while the root partition is ro, any ideas? [23:32] how do i decide what in the list = glibc-devel [23:32] there a libc dev [23:32] tomd123, imaginator: yes just let me see if moving my folder to the one java uses will work [23:32] has anyone in this room used dmraid? [23:32] inux-libc-dev - Linux Kernel Headers for development [23:32] linux* [23:32] powertool08: i'm completely confused now, we went from you saying you were using putty as a server, to you putting public key on client and private key on server, to xp being a server, not xp is a client. I have no idea what you are talking about at this point. Why don't you try starting over and explaining what you are doing and what the problem is, from the beginning. and be careful with getting things backwards because it [23:33] im trying to get an ltsp client to boot off this machine, no luck...maybe the problem is the dhcp.config it is set to /ltsp/pxelinux.0 ubuntu docs say change it to /ltsp/vmlinuz.etherboot but there is not file there, not even a /ltsp folder ? [23:33] what is the substitution for /etc/libnss-ldap.conf? [23:33] nobody has any ideas? [23:33] chroot [23:33] Fryguy--: to resummarize, purge and reinstall for a new clean config/keys (backups 1st next time, I know) then openssh server on ubuntu machine, I take the private key which is in ~/.ssh and copy to windows client machine, then XP client connects thru putty to Ubuntu server [23:33] * Cybodog has looked for it, I can only find that /etc/libnss-ldap.conf was removed, but no ref to how to config those parameters. [23:34] Forest: from what I recall it's particular about where the libjavaplugin_oji.so is. Java expects the ~/.mozilla/plugins version to be a symbolic link last time I tried it. [23:34] I need help setting up my creative X FI soundcard! [23:34] !rockbox [23:34] rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for audio players from Archos, iRiver, Apple (iPod), and iAudio.

[23:34] powertool08: use putty-gen to create a key on windows. putty needs keys to be in .ppk format, not the format that openssh spits out by default [23:34] anyone know if glibc-devel =/= linux-libc-dev - Linux Kernel Headers for development? [23:34] Eric7: yes probably [23:34] k [23:35] What's the easy way to switch screen refresh rate? [23:35] hi all [23:35] I only have 60hz in the options available [23:35] brandano: system | screens and graphics, or just edit xorg.conf manually [23:35] is there a modifier key that can be held down to delete a file w/o sending it to the trash? [23:35] I'm having difficulty with sound player like Rytmbox [23:35] ubunubi: shift [23:35] all of them actualy [23:36] the track loads but start to play [23:36] and I can not set my ldap w/kerberos because the config file was moved with out any ref to what replaced it. [23:36] Fryguy--: Ok, I think I have it now [23:36] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? huh? [23:36] Fryguy--: that's what I was afraid of. Oh well, hopefully it'll be easier than the old times when I had to compile the Nvidia drivers manually [23:36] brandano: Preferences -> Screen Resolution or the xrandr program in a terminal [23:36] Eric7: do you have synaptic or another package manager open? [23:36] yes [23:36] Anyone know anything about virtualhosts? the apache channel is not much help [23:36] Eric7: close it [23:36] k [23:36] shingalated: ask a question, don't ask to ask [23:37] imaginator: only works if the dropdown allows me more than one refresh rate, though. I think the monitor wasn't detected properly [23:37] Why would I get: "The requested URL / was not found on this server." for both of my sites on my server? I am 99% sure that my virtualhosts files are correct...are there other things I should be checking? [23:37] shingalated: what sort of vhost? [23:37] hi all [23:37] why can [23:37] namebased or are you assigning an IP per vhost? [23:37] linux-libc-dev is already the newest version. linux-libc-dev set to manual installed. E: Couldn't find package Linux? [23:37] shingalated: namevirtualhosts or ip-based? [23:38] so this is what I had: all my desktop shortcuts were to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox3/firefox [23:38] In totem I the song loads [23:38] Eric7: so that's not he right one [23:38] but, wont start to play [23:38] k [23:38] because the firefox that came with the distro of ubuntu didn't seem to work [23:38] I can see title and everything [23:38] how can I set system variables? I want to share the same variable for all shells(processes) [23:38] ciscu: be more specific? [23:38] I tried to install the java plugin for my own firefox, but that didn't work [23:38] Eric7: try installing: libc6-dev or build-essentials IIRC [23:39] ciscu: add it to the startup script for your shell (probably ~/.bashrc unless you changed your shell [23:39] so then I hoped the packages would've allowed the default firefox to have java plugins === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [23:39] k [23:39] y wont installing gnash help youtube work in epiphany? [23:39] Fryguy: Ok... I want like a global variable, but it will be changing for every process [23:40] brandano: a name based one, like nameone.com goes to /varwww/nameone/index.html and nametwo.com goes to /var/www/nametwo/index.html [23:40] ciscu: be more specific [23:40] how do i tell what version of wine i have? [23:40] ciscu: sounds like you are going to need to write a program and use some IPC to track state [23:40] (both are on the same server) [23:40] alphaman1101: wine --version should tell you [23:40] why does my song wont start to play [23:40] shingalated: what happens if you visit the site by ip [23:40] and not by hostname [23:40] hey can i post three lines? [23:41] shingalated: the example from the docs works usually fine. Pitfalls can be in the listen directive [23:41] alphaman1101: use a pastebin [23:41] libc6-deveric@Chad:~$ sudo apt-get install build-essentials IIRC Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package build-essentials? [23:41] Eric7: build-essential, no s [23:41] for three lines.... seems kinda stupid but i guess rules are rules [23:41] shingalated: also, setting up SSL only usually works for one domain out of the lot [23:41] I have a loop program where into each loop is executed a script, this script change a variable, and I want to get this variable at next loop [23:41] huh? [23:41] If i visit by IP I got the same error because there is no default site [23:41] brandano: 1 domain per ip [23:42] shingalated: if you visit by IP and don't get any site to come up then your config isn't being read correctly [23:42] http://clubmckinley.pastebin.com/m2e77603a whats it talking about [23:42] fryguy--, tomd123, imaginator: so this is what I had: all my desktop shortcuts were to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox3/firefox . I dled firefox from the site and put it in the firefox3 folder because the firefox that came with the distro of ubuntu didn't seem to work. I tried to install the java plugin for my own firefox, but that didn't work. so then I hoped the packages would've allowed the default firefox to have j [23:42] ava plugins. But that didn't work either... [23:42] Fryguy--: from what he said he means a namebased host, hence 1 ip, several domains [23:43] alphaman1101: so you are running version 0.9.59 [23:43] Well I copied the first one off my old server which was working fine, the next two attempts were from scratch, the next few trys were created through the webmin apache config [23:43] brandano: yes and i was just being pedantic about the advice you gave for SSL, which wasn't 100% correct. I just filled in a detail [23:43] Fryguy-- whats that warning message? [23:43] Was 8.04.1 put up for download today? I see nothing mentioned about its release on the ubuntu web site. [23:43] brandano: does it apply to him, probably not [23:43] alphaman1101: no idea [23:43] msjdbgjd: no [23:43] Forest: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#14 [23:43] msjdbgjd: you'll know when it's available [23:44] Fryguy: I have a loop program where into each loop is executed a script, this script change a variable, and I want to get this variable at next loop [23:44] thanks [23:44] msjdbgjd: No, not yet. [23:44] libglib2.0-dev - Development files for the GLib library u think? [23:44] ciscu: programming questions are outside of the scope of this channel, and I really don't want to take the time to figure out exactly what that half-english meant [23:44] hey guys, banshee doesn't seem to see my Ipod, even though amorak does, anyone know what could be happening? [23:44] Fryguy--: ah, ok, didn't quite understand your comment, makes sense now [23:44] Eric7: no [23:44] !webmin > shingalated [23:44] shingalated, please see my private message [23:44] no? [23:44] >.< [23:45] !ebox > shingalated [23:45] How do i upgrade wine to 1.0 [23:45] Eric7: just pastebin the results of "apt-cache search glibc" [23:45] shingalated: are you connecting to the server using the domain path in your browser? namebased vhosts rely on the browser communicating what domain they expect to see [23:45] Fryguy: ok... where can I ask for this? [23:45] alphaman1101: you wait for it to become available in ubuntu (which it probably won't until october, for version 8.10) [23:45] if you want one to come out by default then it has tio be defined outside the vhost directive [23:45] ciscu: #programming [23:45] ciscu: #linux [23:45] thanx [23:45] Could someone help me setup a program to start on system startup on a command line system? [23:46] here u go [23:46] ghindo: make a startup script for it, put it in /etc/init.d and use rc-update [23:46] i got kicked lol [23:46] Eric7: sudo apt-get install libc6-dev Most likely if you need that you want this too: sudo apt-get install build-essential [23:47] i got build essential [23:47] hello to everyone, I've noticed that my screensaver no longer works, instead the screen blinks for a sec. I'm using Hardy Heron with Nvidia drivers. Has this happened to anyone around? [23:47] Eric7: probably because your using mibbit.com [23:47] Eric7: if you got build essential, then you already have glibc most likely, what's next on the list of things that you need [23:47] imaginator: been there [23:47] hey guys, banshee doesn't seem to see my Ipod, even though amorak does, anyone know what could be happening? [23:47] adpereira: me too [23:47] Fryguy--: Thanks [23:47] brando: I am not really sure.... these are my config files, they are both in site-available symlinked to sites-available http://pastebin.com/d7991bee [23:47] !repeat | matthew__ [23:47] matthew__: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [23:47] Forest: did the ln -s ... command work? [23:49] shingalated: ok, does your DNS resolve the two domains to the correct IP? [23:49] i thought it was a matter of the nvidia drivers or may be xorg.conf, but tried reinstalling with EnvyNG and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg with no success. [23:49] shingalated: did you specify namevirtualhost for the interface you are listening on anywhere [23:49] in all i need glibc-devel, python-gobject-devel, and libglib2-devel packages [23:49] Forest: by the way, you can confirm if the ln worked by using ls -l in ~/.mozilla/plugins for the java plugin, or with a file manager. [23:49] hello,my brother has an eeepc 700 and he liked the xandros interface but needed more software so he installed ubuntu...but now there is ubuntu MID edition...is it possible to install software such as vlc,wine,amsn etc...in the MID edition...and i suppose i will have to customise the kenrel no? [23:49] brandano: yes if i ping the hosts externally they resolve to the correct IP [23:49] shingalated: i set up my virtualhosts using a completely different method (ip based virtualhost entries and then servername directives) [23:49] I need to make room for my solaris installation, how can I reduce the partition for ubuntu? [23:50] drod: use gparted [23:50] Fryguy, can I see your config? [23:50] shingalated: no [23:50] imaginator: it seems i may be missing a folder: ns7/lib [23:50] drod: use a tool such as gparted, although shrinking any partition comes with a risk [23:50] adpereira: my box freezes on some then i have to reboot [23:50] imaginator: nvm lol [23:50] Fryguy, thanks...so I use gparted livecd right? [23:50] drod: sure [23:50] python-gobject-devel? [23:50] any idea why i can't ping other ubuntu machines on my lan ? i'm also getting 127.0.1.1 ip when i ping my pc hostname [23:51] anyone use DMRAID? I need a little help [23:51] gonna do a search [23:51] drod: google for resize ext3 [23:51] imaginator: would it have anything to do with a [23:51] lenix_: because your hostname will be mapped to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts [23:51] lenix_: what's the ip of the other machine you are trying to ping, and what are you typing to ping it? [23:51] drod: there should be a tool for specifically doing that I think [23:51] imaginator: would it have anything to do with a libnullplugin.so? [23:51] Fryguy, thanks...I will try now..I guess that you dont see me around it would mean I failed...solaris says I need to manually print and rewrite grub [23:51] lenix_: and getting 127.0.0.1 when you ping your own machine is perfectly normal, 127.0.0.1 is the localhost loopback interface [23:51] imaginator, thanks, I think I will try live cd [23:51] Forest: no. the libnullplugin.so is the default Mozilla plugin. It's displayed when no other plugin can handle the web page object. [23:51] Fryguy--: it's only normal if you don't have an ip address [23:52] Fryguy--, /home/lenix# ping 192.168.0.1 [23:52] PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. [23:52] and it hangs on that last line [23:52] imaginator: do you know where I should put the ns7 folder? [23:52] lenix_: is this a wired or wirless lan ? [23:52] Forest: it should come with the JDK or JRE [23:52] i also can't ping my machine from the other ubuntu machine [23:52] imaginator: i have a mozilla/plugins, a firefox-3.0/plugins and etc [23:52] ikonia, wired [23:52] ensure host name is listed where 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts [23:52] Fryguy, no where should I add that? [23:52] lenix_: ok, so "ifconfig eth0" [23:52] lenix_: can you put that in a pastebin please. [23:53] shingalated: at the top of one of the site-availables, or in the main httpd.conf [23:53] ikonia, eth0 is the lan socket for my adsl modem [23:53] eth1 is the network one [23:53] anyone looking for a forum that isnt overcrowded join www.linux-forums.co.uk [23:53] nothing found for python-gobject-devel [23:53] lenix_: ok, so show me eth1 [23:53] so i search gobject? [23:53] Eric7: just search for gobject then [23:53] Eric7: common sense is helpful in situations like this [23:54] ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m5c1e12f5 [23:54] python-gobject-dev - Development headers for the GObject python bindings sounds good? [23:55] lenix_: that card has no ip address, thats why you can't ping anything [23:55] ikonia, any idea how can i fix that? [23:55] lenix_: give it an ip address [23:55] lenix_: ensure host name is listed where 127.0.0.1 is in /etc/hosts [23:55] that's eth1, where is eth0 [23:56] Fryguy--, eth0 is the ethernet used for my adsl modem, which is working just fine [23:56] lenix_: and what is eth1 [23:56] is my lan card [23:56] imaginator: after copying links to every plug-in thing, java still does not work [23:56] lenix_: .. how do you have your network set up [23:56] Forest: that's because you can't copy the link, unfortunately [23:56] Forest: it depends on a symbolic link from what I recall [23:57] Forest: I'll paste how mine is setup [23:57] imaginator: no, like, I used the command on all the directories [23:57] is pidgin updated for ubuntu yet? [23:57] Fryguy--, ? normally, connected to a router [23:57] imaginator: sure [23:57] ariqs: getdeb.net [23:57] Fryguy--, i have 2 ethernets in my case, one for the adsl modem, one for lan router [23:58] lenix_: so why not just plug the router into adsl? [23:58] has anyone setup a creative XFI card ?! [23:58] and then plug all of the computers in that, and not create a separate lan subnet? [23:58] ubuntu has its own gspca driver isnt? [23:58] Storrgie: What is an XFI card? [23:58] got gobject but i guess i still need the last one [23:58] Forest: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24837/ [23:58] creative X-FI [23:58] what happens if i want to install and use another gspca driver? [23:59] sound card [23:59] Storrgie: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+xfi&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [23:59] libglib2-devel [23:59] hello, do anyone know a new package of LICQ that include the same icq fix that the new pidgin from getdeb.net have? [23:59] Thx. Nice. [23:59] Forest: does that make sense? [23:59] i would like compile and install other gspca [23:59] Fryguy--, its a network between 2 houses, we're not sharing internet, but only for data transfer etc.. [23:59] so each house have its adsl
