[00:00] csilk: I'm trying to change the password using "passwd" and mounting the drive using the Live CD [00:00] in order to see if the connection works ill have to unplug from this computer to check the other one [00:00] Then restarting Pidgin. [00:00] Zackeroo: Nothing in /var/log ? [00:00] fluffycloud12345 : yes .... I have also completely removed and reinstalled Pidgin a dozen times [00:00] Danskmand : what should be there? [00:01] ASTURIAS, I wasn't aware you could change the password without knowing it [00:01] Danskmand : I can show you the error if that will help .. [00:01] Yes, it is possible [00:01] csilk, you can't, I'm sure ASTURIAS is very used to the security holes in windows [00:01] !info xen [00:01] csilk: but an error occurs [00:01] Package xen does not exist in hardy [00:01] Zackeroo, have you tried installing Pidgin as root?

[00:02] Danskmand : http://pastebin.com/d32f1c5e7 [00:02] dulak, he is still working on it [00:02] so far, no [00:02] how would i go about getting nm-applet to connect to my wireless network straight away without resulting in a keyring password being asked on login? [00:02] whats the difference between green and white people?>>> [00:03] fluffycloud12345 : I don't think I need to or should do that [00:03] LjL, right click the nm-applet> edit wirelss netowrks [00:03] fluffycloud12345 : it should be working as is .. [00:03] csilk: ok, and then? [00:03] add the netowrk to taht list [00:03] *that [00:04] csilk: it is in that list [00:04] You should no longer be prompter for a password then [00:04] csilk: but it's always been in that list [00:04] k i rebooted but no change [00:04] unless you are using feisty fawn in which case it's an old bug [00:04] no, hardy [00:05] LjL, so the keyring is asking for the wifi pass everytime you boot? [00:05] csilk, note again, it's asking for my *keyring password*, not the network's key [00:05] ah rite [00:05] sorry I missed that bit [00:05] isn't that expected behavior? keyring pass once per session to protect your keyring? [00:05] dulak, yes - i think it is.. but people seem to hate it. [00:06] dulak: it probably is generally speaking (for web passwords that's fine, for instance), but i don't really don't want that for my network... [00:06] i want my network to be connected asap [00:06] !lamp [00:06] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

I am using libdvdcss2 for copying DVD's but when I go to open the copied DVD on my computer it says error can't unlock file.? Any ideas [00:08] ru, a aguy with a grfx card from 1997 that cant get any res higher then 800x600 ;) [00:08] dulak, well yes [00:08] whatcha got?

Anyone with experience here with us tonight [00:10] hi all === recon_etc is now known as recon [00:10] does anyone use lmms? [00:10] Danskmand : ok ... [00:11] hi all, i have 2048mb of RAM, what is the best size of my swap partition? [00:11] My laptop trackpad has been disabled somehow, is there a package available for track pad settings? [00:11] unitedpotsmokers, 1 gig [00:11] bluescreenofdea: Try sudo dhclient eth0 [00:11] 1024mb? [00:11] 1024mb [00:11] yes [00:11] unitedpotsmokers: that depends on if it's a workstation or a laptop [00:11] ok thanks csilk [00:11] im using laptop [00:11] unitedpotsmokers: there's no "best" size, but if you ever want to use hibernation, you should have at least 2048mb [00:11] dulak, what difference will that make? [00:11] hey people, every time i click in some place of the menu Places, Totem runs [00:11] unitedpotsmokers: you want 2g + a little for hibernation on a laptop [00:12] ahh ic.. [00:12] how can i set gnome correctly? [00:12] i have Riva TNT2 M64 . what should i have if i install drivers from www.nvidia.com? [00:12] hibernation.. hmm im still thinking... [00:12] Who the hell uses hibernation? [00:12] anyone who doesn't use standby for some reason? [00:12] yeah, i dont ever use hibernation... err what is hibernation? [00:12] can i acces ubuntu irc on my itouch? [00:12] standby uses battery [00:13] csilk: Me, when trying to sleep in a train ;-) [00:13] haha [00:13] oh.. yeah u true.. dont need... so 1024mb should enough.. [00:13] But youre right.... [00:13] ok [00:13] all i can use is hybernation [00:13] ollie: not without jailbraking it afaik (unless there are irc clients in the apple store) - except, you could use a web gateway to irc [00:13] all my other options became unavailable [00:13] ok friends... brb... [00:14] When will Firefox 3.1 beta added to repos [00:14] howdy all [00:14] http://rafb.net/p/IZ43XD45.html ..whats wrong? [00:14] azharcs: likely never, unless it fixes some serious bugs or security issues [00:14] hi, is it possible to export the display of a gui application to multiple x servers (say the one on the local machine and one on a remote machine)? [00:14] bobertdos: it say no DHCPOFFERS recieved and no working leases in persistant database - sleeping [00:15] it's possibly with NX [00:15] *possible [00:15] dont think its possibly with vanilla X [00:15] *possible [00:15] ByteJuggler, that aimed at my question? [00:15] LjL : So i can't use tracemonkey at all. [00:15] (for petes sake... what *is* it with me and the Y key) [00:15] Venin, what are you compiling? [00:15] rampage: well yes but the application must be ran on every display\ [00:16] rampage: yes [00:16] in NX terminology I think it's called "shadowing" [00:16] iirc [00:16] is there a way 2 acces this irc on my itouch? [00:16] bluescreenofdea: Okay, on to something else. Go to System->Administration->Network. Unlock it, and then under your ethernet connection, tell me what the settings are. === Linus` is now known as Linus [00:16] if you can get an irc client on it, sure [00:16] lol [00:16] ollie, I'm sure google will answer that question for you [00:16] thanks ByteJuggler will read up on NX [00:16] how? [00:16] is it at all possible to eliminate bell (system) [lowering the volume doesn't help] [00:17] ollie, there are web browser based irc clients also, but they may not be very useable [00:17] remoadmin, 'xset 0 0 0 ' gets rid of it in most apps for me. [00:17] like what? [00:17] unplug the motherboard audio connector [00:17] see here [00:17] http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR11B00098 [00:17] ollie, ask google [00:17] Hello. [00:17] and how do i do a highlighted message? [00:17] i have asked google [00:17] nothing [00:17] if i click on a folder in Places menu, Totem start [00:17] ollie, no one here really knows, that's why no one has given you the answer you are looking for [00:17] kitche, ByteJuggler, I wanted to leave say LinuxDC++ running on my desktop and access it from the laptop from time to time without having to vnc in every time. Is such a setup possible [00:17] how can i set gnome correctly? [00:17] If I have Wubi installed - can I update to the next Ubuntu automatically? [00:17] rampage: I think that's what you're after [00:17] dulak: that doesn't work, it causes gdm to give me "Authentication failed" before even being able to login. however, i think this is already done by default on Hardy, except that i had automatic login enabled - i guess the keyring doesn't like that [00:18] ah yeah [00:18] ollie http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2007/09/11/mobile-colloquy-irc-client-released-for-iphone [00:18] Does someone know the answer to my question ? [00:18] darkhamm: We fixed this for someone else just recently by changing a certain program association, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was. [00:18] for that you don't need multiple simulatneous connections [00:18] just a single persistent session (terminal server like) [00:18] thx [00:18] automatic config (DHCP) ip: 169.254.9.63 subnetmask: 255.255.0.0 [00:18] a default NX session does that for you [00:18] thats exactly what I do in fact [00:18] rampage, ssh + xming? [00:18] ollie, google.com search: irc on itouch 4th result [00:18] seriously, you didnt googl eit [00:18] my server runs an NX server [00:18] *google it [00:18] ByteJuggler, ok could you point me to the correct documentation if you have it at hand [00:18] bluescreenofdea: First, try setting it to Roaming. [00:19] and I just connect to it from whatever machine I want [00:19] on the session is a persistent X desktop session [00:19] k [00:19] with browsers, bittorrent/whatever [00:19] dhcp shouldnt return a 169 ip....your not connecting [00:19] Bobert, this is what I was trying to say from the beginning. :D [00:19] Anybody with experience copying DVD's to give me a helping hand??? [00:19] ok hang on 1 sec [00:19] http://rafb.net/p/IZ43XD45.html ..whats wrong? [00:19] remoadmin: you can add the pcspkr module to the blacklist: echo "blacklist pcspkr" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [00:19] nobody can help me about program associations? [00:19] david, are they protected? [00:19] Venin, what are you trying to compile? [00:19] remoadmin: after a reboot no more system beep [00:19] anything else? [00:19] oih [00:20] gwkalrod, i've tried xming and ssh but can't get it to display the gui thats already running. do you know how i could get it working [00:20] csilk: a patch for rtll8187 chipset [00:20] thanks ByteJuggler [00:20] darkhamm: right-click on the file you wish to associate with a program, and click on the Open With-tab. [00:20] darkhamm: actually, try just changing the association for any folder in nautilus [00:20] gwkalrod: are you asking me?? If so then yes I am talking of a normal DVD you buy in the shops! Can you help? [00:20] bluescreenofdea: No, just that for now [00:20] k brb [00:20] ooh thats an ill eagle [00:20] LJL: not sure what to try to fix that [00:21] david, are they videos? [00:21] bobertdos, eitreach, i've only this issue if i click on a folder in "Places" [00:21] gwkalrod, yes they are videos [00:21] rampage, i know someone that has xming working gerat, want his aim? [00:21] Venin, the errors are a series of syntax errors [00:21] everywhere i haven't problem [00:21] dulak: it's probably 100% intended - no password at all (not even the login password), no access to the keyring. it's reasonable policy... except well, it's an eeepc and i'd rather have it up and running when i flip the screen open [00:21] david, VLC open disc and check the stream/save box, then burn the saved video file onto a dvd [00:21] my wireless is ok with dhcp, but i wanner assign a static ip to my wireless so that i can do some port forwarding. Any suggestion? [00:21] gwkalrod, yes please [00:21] dulak: no huge deal, anyway [00:22] csilk: it has worked before... i dont get it.. maybe something to do with intrepid? [00:22] Did Bluescreen get online? [00:22] rampage, "dotaazn" [00:22] gwkalrod: I installed libdvdcss2 and it was working do you know anything about his? [00:22] this? [00:22] gwkalrod, thanks [00:22] venger, try make clean then ./configure again [00:22] nope, but vlc works fine for that [00:22] Venin, ^^ 3 up [00:22] can u access your wireless router [00:22] rampage: http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1 [00:23] there's some notes there on what you need to do and links to documentation [00:23] bobertdos: nope that didnt get it either [00:23] thanks ByteJuggler, will read up now [00:23] also there's a howto somewhere on the internet, not that you need it really [00:23] you need to basically ensure you install openssh server [00:23] then install nx pacakges in correct order [00:23] and that's mostly it [00:23] csilk: doesnt use configure.. http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187 [00:23] what will happen to /dev/sda5 if i format /dev/sda4? will i lose /dev/sda5? if so how do i not and still use sda4? http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=14t0rno&s=4 [00:23] nobody knows i can chenge program association when i click on a folder in "places"? [00:24] (it used to be a bit more involved but the latest packages are basically installed like that) [00:24] where can i see an officiall copy of /etc/apt/sources.list ? [00:24] nobody knows where i can change program association when i click on a folder in "places"? [00:24] Bluescreen, try a different PC on that cable and see if it can get online. [00:24] Venin, that link told me nothing [00:24] fluffy, im on a different one with it right now [00:24] bluescreenofdea: Okay, first go back to the terminal and do dhclient again. If that doesn't work, let's try a static IP. [00:25] i just switch back and forth when i check the other one [00:25] bluescreenofdea: Also, you might consider rebooting your modem and router. [00:25] csilk: under r8187 is what ive done.. hehe [00:25] link [00:25] ByteJuggler, may i pm? [00:25] http://dl.aircrack-ng.org/drivers/ [00:25] sorry.. wrong link [00:25] what are YOU up to? [00:25] csilk: http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187 [00:25] Bluescreen, I don't want to confuse you, Bobert is giving great advice. [00:26] can linux-restricted-modules be installed independently of nvidia-kernel-common? I have an nvidia card unsupported by the driver in the repos and an atheros based chipset wifi card I need madwifi for [00:26] Venin, ok, the errors you were having are all C syntax errors [00:26] !info netbeans [00:26] netbeans (source: netbeans): Integrated Development Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.0.1-0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 813 kB, installed size 1924 kB [00:26] how do i reboot the modem? [00:26] ericrost: there are a seperate package set for linux-restricted [00:26] hey rampage, did you im him? [00:27] ericrost: just install the other stuff it wants to install separate [00:27] dhclient is the same [00:27] csilk: ive installed build essentials [00:27] so the madwifi drivers are contained in a subpackage, good, I'll dig it up thx! [00:27] can ubuntu utilize 4 cores? [00:27] gwkalrod, i don't use aim, just reading through how to use it [00:27] bluescreenofdea: I usually just unplug for ten seconds or so, and plug back in. Modem gets plugged back in first, router second. [00:27] does it multithread [00:27] Bobert, you are a patient man! [00:27] ericrost: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules, hit no, then copy paste the other stuff deleting nvidia-kernel common [00:28] what will happen to /dev/sda5 if i format /dev/sda4? will i lose /dev/sda5? if so how do i not and still use sda4? http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=14t0rno&s=4 [00:28] How can I install a .deb file ? [00:28] fluffycloud12345: I kinda have to be. Customer support is my job too. [00:28] zeno: [00:28] hi all i got a problem when i try to install mysql5.0 server ( during the installation i get many time : error found option without preceding group in config file /etc/mysql/my.cnf at line :1 [00:28] dsch04: if you double click it, the package manager will open an guide you [00:28] Right on Bobert. [00:28] Ah, OK [00:28] How about from a command line? [00:28] zeno: once you have a logical partition sda5 then sda4 is no longer available as a primary partition [00:28] Venin, yeah, but still, the errors were all syntax errors [00:28] gwkalrod: I opened VLC and copy disc, bu what do I do after to import the DVD? [00:29] dsch04: dpkg -in package.deb [00:29] zeno: when I did that, it was just the version of linux restricted for my kernel, and when I put that it still wants to install nvidia-kernel-common [00:29] sorry [00:29] csilk: ok.. what do i do? :p [00:29] dpkg -i package.deb [00:29] zeno: you cannot use sda4 at all, for anything once you have a logical partition, you would use sda6 as the next logical partition [00:29] Venin, i suggest going to the irc chen etc.. of the software vendor or start googleing [00:29] Damn, dependencies! [00:29] all i did becfor to have isnsalled the my sql server(i tough i did installed it yesterday) so i when to edit it to change the 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 [00:29] *chan [00:29] csilk: tried both, hehe [00:29] hey does anyone know how to set graphics card drivers [00:29] GDebi (the gui tool) will attempt to resolve those [00:29] csilk: but thanks [00:29] zeno: it in fact depends on it [00:29] david, simply go to file, open disc, and make sure you check the stream/save box, select location to save it, then let the disc play [00:29] Venin, what did you find out? [00:29] it saves the output [00:30] no copy protection [00:30] csilk: nada [00:30] alternatively, install the dependencies manually [00:30] Venin, somebody must of said something [00:30] then try again [00:30] csilk: no respons in irc chan.. googling the best i can [00:30] is there any way to force apt-get to ignore the dependency? [00:30] I can't have nvidia-kernel-common installed [00:30] ericrost: dulak ok, how do i use that space as sda6? [00:30] hey does anyone know how to set graphics card drivers because mine freaked out [00:30] nobody knows where i can change program association when i click on a folder in "places"? [00:31] ericrost: use the name of the dependencies to install the subpackages [00:31] zeno: just create a new logical partition it should automatically go to sda6 [00:31] program assocation for a folder? [00:31] gwkalrod: Thks I am going to try again. Let u know what happens OK [00:31] kk, gl [00:31] Lerxst51: its not a metapackage [00:31] dulak: ok... ill look up how to do that [00:31] Is there a way to enable multiple dictionaries (e.g. german and english) when writing (openoffice, pidgin, ...)? [00:32] Lerxst51: the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic actually contains the madwifi kernel drivers as well as nvidias fglrx [00:32] Danskmand : did I miss anything? [00:32] its a REALLY poor packaging decision [00:32] darkhamm, elaborate? [00:32] because now I have an unusable system [00:32] ericrost: install it, then blacklist the modules that cause you problems [00:32] kooldude: What happened, exactly? [00:32] its not the module [00:33] ericrost, that sounds serious, you should file a bug report against the package [00:33] hey does anyone know how to set graphics card drivers because mine freaked out, i have a nividia graphics card... it worked for a wile but then it freaked out and set the wrong driver! [00:33] its the fact that the kernel headers for the mismatched nvidia driver are going to be installed [00:33] ericrost: that package is nothing but modules [00:33] Where did Blue go? [00:33] dulak: yes but it depends on nvidia kernel common [00:33] Did you fix him Bobert? [00:33] ericrost: you may have to compile and install madwifi then [00:33] i have a nividia graphics card... it worked for a wile but then it freaked out and set the wrong driver! [00:33] gwkalrod: when i click on every folder in "Places" menu, Totem starts, not nautilus [00:33] Lerxst51: thx [00:33] !pastebin [00:33] 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) [00:34] gwkalrod: I put in the DVD, opened VLC went to File, open disc, checked stream/save Box and then I had to open the DVD and then got lost [00:34] fluffycloud12345: No, he probably disappeared because I told him to reboot his equipment. [00:34] how can i change this? [00:34] Lerxst51: I can handle that but wasn't even thinking of it [00:34] ericrost: no problem [00:34] Lerxst51: that's why I come here when I get in a huff sometimes [00:34] Oh okay, Bobert. [00:34] I may very well file a bug against the package so that the modules are all subpackages [00:34] I am interested in seeing if he will ever be able to get online [00:34] fluffycloud12345: I only set static IP's as a last resort, so I'll have people try pretty much anything before that. [00:34] ericrost: a metapackage would make more sense [00:34] ericrost: yeah that's a good idea, kinda retarded deps on that [00:34] after you chekc the box and choose your save settings in the settings button, just press ok [00:35] csilk: is it this one http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=r8187#passed_3_arguments_but_takes_just_2..._compile_error_message [00:35] csilk: it kinda looks similar [00:35] dulak Lerxst51 I may very well get back the fact that its non free stuff, but this IS ubuntu, not exactly the bastien of idealism, so I hope they'll be a bit pragmatic [00:36] Bobert, I don't blame you, I am the same way. DHCP service is pretty solid so unless it craps out or is disabled on the OS or his router etc he should be able to get online fairly quickly. Unless there are issues w the OS, the browser or spyware etc. [00:36] off to get it working before I worry about the bug though, it's holding up my mythtv build [00:36] THX! [00:37] gwkalrod: Seems so easy this way. The film came on I clicked play and it's playing. Is it recording it anywhere while its playing? [00:37] bobertos: my card was working fine until one time i restarted and ubuntu said that it didn't have the right drivers for the display and card! then i had to do it manualy and it freaked!!! [00:37] look like I am back to square one [00:37] is madwifi pretty much configure make make install? [00:37] I'm stuck behind a firewall, a university one, but I'm tunnelling out via vpn, because I can't seem to run updates, I'm just getting thie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/59920/ I've tried using the automatic proxy (it should let all http through) and I've tried the cache proxy settings. Anything I can try? [00:37] fluffycloud12345: Plus, static IP's (even though they can be useful) leave 'ya more vulnerable. [00:38] in the settings button next to the stream/save checkbox, you can select where it'll save the output file to [00:38] Bobert, good point. [00:38] how to check which version is current ubuntu ,like uname -a? [00:38] awesome, madwifi even has .debs all packaged up! [00:38] how to get the current version of ubuntu of my system ? [00:38] tscmga: lsb_release -a [00:38] it has been 3 weeks and countless visits to this IRC chat .... but I am still unable to use Pidgin ... is there anyone here willing and able to go the distance in helping me sort this out? Here is the output of Pidgin in the terminal : http://pastebin.com/d32f1c5e7 [00:38] bobertos: my card was working fine until one time i restarted and ubuntu said that it didn't have the right drivers for the display and card! then i had to do it manualy and it freaked!!! [00:39] how do i resore the original my.cnf from mysql? [00:39] mysql-server 5.0 [00:39] bobertdos: :) . get it . haha [00:39] Does an ad-hoc ftp server exist for ubuntu? what is it called? [00:40] gwkalrod: Is this the customize box: It says vd:///dev/scd0 what does this mean? [00:40] anyone know of a way to stop/kill NetworkManager without root privileges? [00:40] MHz128: there are pleny of ftp servers, but I'n not sure what you mean by as hoc [00:40] anyone using 8.10? I think I found a bug but not sure if it's an isolated problem or not [00:41] what is it, Holiday [00:41] Holiday, ask in #ubuntu+ [00:41] Holiday, ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:41] !intrepid|Holiday: [00:41] Holiday:: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu [00:41] yoyoned, wireless ad-hoc connection.... maybe ssh? [00:41] yoyoned, for transferring files between two computers, only wirelessly [00:41] gwalkrod: Or should I be in the file section? where it says customize? [00:41] MHz128: what are you trying to do? [00:41] david, sry i didn't make this clearer, in the settings button next to the stream/save checkbox, you check the "file" checkbox under outputs, and select the dir to save it in [00:41] kooldude: Which ones were you originally using? [00:41] bobertdos: my card was working fine until one time i restarted and ubuntu said that it didn't have the right drivers for the display and card! then i had to do it manualy and it freaked!!! [00:42] MHz128: use scp [00:42] it's hard to set a program association??? [00:42] yoyoned, for wireless? what is scp? [00:42] how do i edit xconfig? [00:42] well xorg.config [00:42] Okay, I've got my triple monitors working; however, my right-most monitor is being placed as the left-most screen. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/59922 is my xorg.conf [00:43] oliver_: In the terminal, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf or if you want graphical: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:43] oliver_, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:43] Such a question is not uncommon among those curious. For example, “Is mathematics science or art?”, is the same type of question that has been broached by dabblers now and then. We can also detect such dilemma in the titles conferred to blathering computer jockeys: which one are thee: baccalaureate of science or baccalaureate of arts? It really makes no fucking difference. Ultimately, fantastically stupid questions like these are not discus [00:43] bobertdos: nvidia 6600 mx [00:43] plus a graphics accelerator [00:44] gwalkrod: Apologies is not clear still. Once clicked on open disc the file has 6 tabs. In Disc I check the stream/save. I cant find OUTPUTS?? [00:44] kooldude: Are there restricted drivers for the MX line? I don't remember. [00:44] ok === bird_win is now known as birdwin [00:44] yes [00:44] go to file, click open disc [00:45] there will be a stream/save checkbox [00:45] bobertdos: yes [00:45] check it [00:45] yoyoned, can a windows machine connect to an ssh server using an ftp client? [00:45] next to that checkbox, there is a button marked settings [00:45] click it, select file under outputs [00:45] MHz128: only if the ftp client supports sftp [00:46] I just use winscp to connect to ssh servers.. dont need ftp :) [00:46] MHz128: the quick and easy solution is to have the windows user download winscp, it looks just like a normal ftp client but uses ssh [00:46] Can anyone see a reason why my screen2 is being placed to the left of screen1 when it should be to the right of screen0? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/59922/ [00:46] bobertdos: yes [00:46] dulak, thats awesome, you are the man [00:46] :) [00:47] my issue is impossible? [00:47] bobertdos: yes [00:48] hi [00:48] I burned a divx video onto a CD, from CD plays fine on my windows box, but won't play on my ubuntu box. I do have the divx codecs from the repository, any other suggestions? [00:48] gwalkrod: ahaha, that seems better thks. Does this mean while the film plays it files at the same time where I told it to? [00:48] kooldude: Let's see.......How about using dpkg to reconfigure x11-xorg-nvidia (or whatever those packages are). I don't remember the exact names for Nvidia. [00:48] bpat1182, i normally just drag the screens around in the nvidia-settings tool. I though it normally set up absolute settings coords. But ive never used 3 screens befor. === capiira is now known as captain_planet === captain_planet is now known as captainplanet [00:48] dr_willis, yeah, I can do that, but I lose a bunch of settings I've already configured. [00:48] gime a sec [00:48] dr_willis, I'd rather get this running right without nvidia-settings [00:48] any idea when there will be an installer for flash10? [00:49] it should, yes [00:49] dulak, how are wireless file transfer speeds? [00:49] bpat1182, backup the xorg.conf, try the nvidia-settings see if it does it better.. then compare the 2 different xorg.confs perhaps... [00:49] you can check in the meantime by lookingin that directory [00:49] phantomcircuit: it's available in intrepid due for release at the end of the month [00:49] dr_willis, worth a shot [00:49] phantomcircuit: probably 8.10 probably will have a security update for 8.04 soon [00:49] phantomcircuit: It'll be in the repos for Intrepid. You can get the deb file for now if you want. [00:50] i guess i should mention im on x86_64 === jmyers is now known as Guest7517 [00:50] so the package by itself doesnt help me much [00:50] gwkalrod: I looked in the directory and nothing is there? Should it be there already after 2 minutes? [00:50] MHz128: whatever the wireless signal supports, the encryption overhead from ssh isn't a big deal on a recent cpu [00:50] phantomcircuit: Native 64-bit support still isn't quite there, but you should still be able to apply the wrapper to it....I think [00:51] phantomcircuit: You may actually want the tar.gz in that case. [00:51] hmm, you made sure you checked file under outputs, and selected a valid directory, then clicked ok, and ok at the open disc menu? [00:51] any help playing divx on ubuntu? Plays fine on my windows box, but not on ubuntu, and I do have the divx codec from the repo [00:51] make sure you select DVD no DVD(menus) too [00:51] it says it's already configured [00:51] phantomcircuit, bobertdos: that "just works" now. In intrepid, you have 64bit flash through the package manager. If you really need it on 8.04, you need to build the latest nspluginwrapper [00:52] bobertdos it says it's already configured [00:52] phantomcircuit: At any rate, I'm sure since 10 is in Intrepid's repos, the wrapping will take care of it. [00:52] alright [00:52] bobertdos: it says it's already configured [00:52] I tried changing the password using "passwd" and I receive this errro "Authentication server cnnot retrieve authentication info". I forgot all my passwords and using a Live CD. [00:53] kooldude: Please don't repeat yourself so frequently. Did you use dpkg-reconfigure? [00:53] ASTURIAS: just use "recovery mode" from the grub menu [00:53] I tried it also [00:53] ASTURIAS: and? [00:53] it ajrib:ppears the same error. [00:53] hello [00:53] jrib: same error occurs in all the terminal I;ve tried [00:54] is Ubuntu Multithreading [00:54] ? [00:54] wow... got suddenly quiet in here [00:54] ASTURIAS: and you have no clue as to why? [00:54] must be something I said [00:54] jclbrt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:54] jrib: No, that's why I'm here [00:54] bobertos: same error [00:54] what?... i didn't even type anything [00:54] ASTURIAS: were you using ldap for authentication? [00:54] dulak: ldap ? [00:55] ASTURIAS: if you don't know what it is, you weren't using it [00:55] hi how do i force resolutions? [00:55] omg... even with absolute positioning, it still doesn't work... [00:55] dulak: no [00:55] kooldude: I may not be able to help much more. My experience with Nvidia cards is a bit outdated and I've never used one with Ubuntu. [00:55] oliver_ what do you mean by force resolution? [00:55] ASTURIAS: did you chroot into the partition where your system was stored? [00:55] dulak: yes [00:55] bodertdos: k [00:56] is ubuntu multithreading [00:56] ASTURIAS: is that the full output except for the typos? [00:56] jrib: yes, it says something below that, I will try it again now and post it here... [00:57] anyone having problems with Intrepid Ibex [00:57] jclbrt: I've always kind of wondered that too, to be honest. I think it is at least on a certain level, because it recognizes both sides of a duo core chip. [00:57] i cant seem to get it to install [00:57] ASTURIAS: it really seems like you've changed the way users login though [00:57] im trying to install it on my compaq cq50 [00:57] jrib: Nevermind, below it says, "Password Unchanged" [00:57] hello. what shortcut keys allow you to change the screen [00:58] like virtual screens left and right [00:58] and there is this thing which is like expose in mac [00:58] can anyone help me with this [00:58] whats the command to reconfigure Xorg? [00:58] gwkalrod: Slowly getting there thks, but a few hiccups. I am selecting a directory OK as you said but can't find anywhere click OK, I have to use the X at the top right of the page. Cant find OK at the open disc menu either? [00:58] deadboys: what is the problem [00:58] !xconfig | kooldude [00:58] kooldude: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [00:59] wintermute: ctrl-alt-. For the expose-like feature, check with #compiz-fusion or look in ccsm [00:59] Deadboys: Go to #ubuntu+1 if you want help. I'd wait a week and a half for final release, if I were you, to be honest. [00:59] when i try to install intrepid it says my screen will run on low graphics mode, and i cant get past that screen [00:59] Deadboys: intrepid help in #ubuntu+1 [00:59] gwalkrod: At least in the directory where I told it I can now see the file name. Does this mean something? jejeje? [00:59] !FixRes | koshari [00:59] yes, that means it's recording to it [00:59] bobertdos: well most OSes recognize bother cores [00:59] !FixRes [00:59] just let it play out, and you can then burn that file to another dvd [00:59] just whether they use it in the way it is suppose to is the question [01:00] ASTURIAS: googling "Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info" (with quotes) turns up lots of hits. See if any of them help [01:00] jrib: ok [01:00] gwkalrod: Thks a lot. Can I burn it to DVD with VLC? [01:00] jclbrt: You could always write a java app to figure that out, haha [01:01] no, VLC is just a media player, you should be able to google "burning a video file" or something to that effect to find a program that can hurn it [01:01] burn* [01:01] ASTURIAS: do /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow all exist? === andyg is now known as munchingfoo [01:02] gwkalrod: OK I could try k3b or Gnomebaker perhaps. Would I click DAta DVD?? [01:02] i honestly don't know what kind of disc to make for a dvd video, you'll have to ask around [01:03] jribL let me check [01:03] gwkalrod: Thanks a lot in case you've been very helpful. [01:03] how often should I restart my ubuntu server? [01:03] could someone tell me the place in my file system xchat will be installed if I installed it using apt-get install? [01:04] wew [01:04] np, gl with burning [01:04] it`s easy [01:04] jrgp if it's an actual real server, once a month is a good rule of thumb [01:04] gwkalrod: cheers!!! [01:04] jrgp: if it's not a real server, in production, however often you like [01:07] hello all [01:08] jrib: /etc/shadow does not exist I just see a shortcut called shadow- [01:08] ASTURIAS: that's a huge problem, is /etc/passwd there? [01:09] dulak: yes, it is there and group too, but not shdow [01:09] ASTURIAS: ok in passwd, is the second field for your username a *? [01:09] dulak: I'm not familiar with /etc/shadow-. On my system it seems to just be a copy of /etc/shadow. Do you agree it would be a good idea to just copy it as /etc/shadow? [01:09] ASTURIAS: sorry my bad, is the second field for your username in passwd an x? [01:10] jrib: I'm trying to see if he has shadow enabled first [01:10] jrib: but yeah that's what I was gonna have him do, copy it over, and blank out his password for his username [01:11] dulak: here -> myusername:x:1000:1000: [01:11] ASTURIAS: ok good, you need to copy that shadow- file to shadow [01:11] does ubuntu have a memory limit, similair to windows xp's 3.25gb limit? [01:11] is this the live ubuntu irc help [01:12] dulak: open it, and then create a new file called shadow and paste all the content in it? [01:12] ASTURIAS: cp -a shadow- shadow [01:12] ok [01:12] CokeFTW: yes, welcome [01:12] ASTURIAS: then edit shadow, look for your username, blank out the second field [01:12] dulak, ASTURIAS: erm, why blank it out? [01:12] gwkalrod, no operating system has a limit [01:12] jrib: so he can login with no pass and then set one? [01:13] it's the filesystem [01:13] Greets, everyone... [01:13] dulak: he's resetting the password with passwd anyway [01:13] the new ext4 filesystem has a massive limit, several hundre petabytes i believe [01:13] Okay good, I have this problem. I just recently crossed over to ubuntu from windows, but I can't seem to get any of my drives to mount in ubuntu, flash drive/external HDD. Does anyone know the fix to this? [01:13] jrib: good point [01:13] Anyone here use Kino? I'm trying to figure out how to select the audio track on an imported .vob. [01:13] dulak: should I try passwd again? [01:14] ASTURIAS: sure [01:14] lol, os/filesystem, w/e, but ty for the anweser [01:14] gwkalrod: on 32bit there's some sort of limit. On 64bit you won't have a problem [01:14] dulakL ok, one sec... [01:14] jrib, that affects file systems upper size limits? [01:14] dulak: passwd: password updated successfully [01:15] csilk: no, I assumed his original question was about ram [01:15] ASTURIAS: ok you are set, somehow your shadow file got lost, you went to a backup and now you should be good [01:15] can i ask the best/right way to make my other drives mount automatically, so say file paths a valid after a reboot, is it to edit the fstab ?? [01:15] jrib, i assuedm hard disk space :) [01:15] *assumed [01:15] yes, memory = ram [01:15] haha [01:15] fair enough [01:15] ok, I will try to log in again, I'll be back if anything occurs, thanks a lot! [01:16] CokeFTW: what happens when you try? [01:16] can i use a gui instead of editing fstab by hand ? === Tim-away is now known as TimStarling [01:16] once I plug the drive in it says something like : Mount error: etc [01:16] I've got an open question -- a thinker -- for anyone here willing to participate. Here is the scenario: A hard drive is failing with I/O errors and/or MFT corruption. Only so much data can be copied before (1) the files on the drive all disappear or (2) all files become 0kb ghosts. Copying all the files manually is unfeasible, because when the drive begins to fail; some corrupted 0kb files get copied. Any suggestions? [01:17] bouma: There is ntfs-config for ntfs formatted drives. The other gui tool I know of is pysdm (but I have not used it recently). Editing by hand is not that hard and I don't mind helping you [01:17] !who | CokeFTW [01:17] CokeFTW: 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 :) [01:18] Digital7 write a script that copies files 1 at a time, checking if the copy is 0kb after the copy operation [01:18] ubottu: okay [01:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about okay [01:18] CokeFTW, pastebin the error [01:18] rc.net [01:18] Digital7: you could also have it check for an existing file first, and skip any dupes so you can keep running the copy over and over to get the most data off it before full failure [01:18] can anybody help me set up a wireless internet? I have a new wireless card and the ndis wrapper program doesn't work with it, it's something else i have to use and i can't find any site to hekp me? [01:18] dulak, could you pastebin an example script for me? I'm willing to try that method -- but I'm not yet familiar enough with Unix commands to do it. [01:19] keveycakes: is it a laptop? [01:19] Mount error: invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume. [01:19] yeah [01:19] keveycakes, what wifi card u have ? [01:19] why doesn't virtualbox work out of the box? [01:19] Digital7: that's more work than I'm willing to put in on a volunteer basis [01:19] let me check right now === parth is now known as Guest25810 [01:20] dulak: I'm actually doing a volunteer effort myself..this is for a friend of mine. Could you at least point me in the right direction..perhaps a site with such commands listed? [01:20] Digital7 that I can do [01:20] csilk: you have to "join the vbox" group in System/Admin/UsersGroups [01:20] I'm looking for a good audio player... Rhythmbox lacks two important features for me: Jump to song and Equalizer... [01:21] Azhi_Dahaka: songbird (a Mozilla program), Amorak and many others. [01:21] audacity [01:21] Scunizi, and that will fix the kernal driver problem??? [01:21] Digital7: you can use a recover system like Knoppix, and there is a system for backing up a .img from a corrupted hard drive, and recovering files from it. Let me see if I can find directions for it [01:22] Amarok will run ok? I'm on Gnome... [01:22] hello? [01:22] csilk: you didn't mention that.. open Synaptic and search for virtualbox.. you will see the kernel driver for your kernel there. [01:22] Digital7: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html and http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [01:22] Tulimaq: Mount error, invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume [01:22] Wireless Intel® Wi-Fi Link 5100AGN (1x2) is the card that I have iun my laptop. I had a friend put linux on and he's been busy for a few days so I don't know how to fix my wireless problem [01:22] can someone help me im having problems with my sound... [01:22] Scunizi, osrry I assumed everyone would of had the same error after ubuntu update [01:22] I updated some programs and my friend said most likely a kernel was updated that made the wireless drivers not work [01:23] csilk: ah.. you had it running and then it stopped because of the kernel driver.. ? Load the new one and you'll be fine. I did this morning. [01:23] CokeFTW, what file system u have on that drive [01:23] excuse me.. === nek is now known as nekkar [01:23] Tulimaq: I believe its fat32 [01:24] Scunizi, well, I never used iot befor ethe update, but I assume it's the update that "broke" it [01:24] dulak: Thanks [01:24] digital7, are you still there to help me? or did you leave [01:24] keveycakes: I'm here.. kind of. [01:24] can someone please help.. [01:24] how do I make icons organize from right to left instead of left to right ? [01:24] csilk: the update did break it.. but after fixing try to load it and see what happens.. you may have to fix other things. [01:24] keveycakes: I had the same trouble on my laptop [01:24] aflack, post your problem. everyone here is working on a volunteer basis.... be patient [01:24] =/ [01:25] Scunizi, any idea why the play button would now be greyed out? [01:25] hi too all [01:25] keveycakes: open up a private window with me so I can keep track [01:25] im having problems with my sound, it comes out all staticy and wrong... [01:25] CokeFTW, and what command u are using to mount it [01:25] Anyone here use Kino? I'm trying to figure out how to select the audio track on an imported .vob. [01:25] how to I put my gnome icons on the right by default ? [01:25] csilk: you might have to reboot to get the kernel driver update to take effect, restarting the vbox service. [01:26] i'll give that a spin [01:26] Tulimaq: I don't know how to manually mount so I have not used any command. Thats just what it tells me when I pop in the drive. [01:26] can someone help me im having problems with my sound . [01:26] aflack, pls be more specific. sound card, ubuntu version etc. what are you trying to listen to. have you checked the physical connection [01:26] in fact, you know what Scunizi i dont have the patience to do this right now, I'm not gonna test this package on xubuntu [01:26] exodus_MS, do you know how to set up the icons from right to left in gnome ? [01:26] if it doesnt work I'll just fix it when the bug report comes in [01:26] csilk: k.. try later or tomorrow.. :) [01:26] hi all [01:27] i am not exactly sure what sound card i have, but i have the latest ubuntu all updated with 8.04, and any sound comes out staticy and wrong, im playing from my monitor speakers which work ok in vista [01:28] Scunizi, it's the upstream being really pissy with me about packaing their software, they said it "HAS" to work on xubuntu.. To be fait, the package request came from someone using gnome so I'm not too fussed about xubuntu users [01:28] *fair [01:28] CokeFTW, it can happen when u dont use "safe remove" in windows, u need to force mount then [01:28] Tulimaq: how do I force mount? [01:28]  i am not exactly sure what sound card i have, but i have the latest ubuntu all updated with 8.04, and any sound comes out staticy and wrong, im playing from my monitor speakers which work ok in vista [01:29] csilk: it should.. xubuntu uses mostly gtk libraries.. but vbox also works on kde so xubuntu is right there too. [01:29] is it possible on gnome to switch your icons from the left to the right ? [01:29]  i am not exactly sure what sound card i have, but i have the latest ubuntu all updated with 8.04, and any sound comes out staticy and wrong, im playing from my monitor speakers which work ok in vista.... very bad sound problems help anyone? [01:30] would amarok run ok, if i'm using gnome? [01:30] der|kunstler, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3728/ [01:30] Azhi_Dahaka: yep [01:30] The new ubuntu 8.04 will not load. Now it will if I load it under VMWare? [01:30] could someone help me to get to work any gateway/router applitation on my ubuntu? [01:30] amarok will work fine with gnome [01:31]  i am not exactly sure what sound card i have, but i have the latest ubuntu all updated with 8.04, and any sound comes out staticy and wrong, im playing from my monitor speakers which work ok in vista [01:31] if you want to, the latest kde4-based amarok can even use gstreamer plugins if you want...the "regular" amarok ubuntu package just ships with the xine backend, iirc [01:31] seems like Exaile is some sort of GTK Amarok clone [01:31] CokeFTW, 1) Create a folder in /media using:- sudo mkdir /media/force 2) Mount the drive on the folder using:- sudo mount -t vfat /dev/path-of-drive /media/force [01:32] I'll have to try it again, Azhi_Dahaka because every time I've tried it...not so much, no. [01:32] it LOOKS a lot like Amarok tho :-> [01:32] Didi it have hotkeysand equializer? [01:32]  i am not exactly sure what sound card i have, but i have the latest ubuntu all updated with 8.04, and any sound comes out staticy and wrong, im playing from my monitor speakers which work ok in vista [01:33] no but to be fair the latest amarok doesn't either [01:33] any ideas? http://rafb.net/p/Hg81VR25.html [01:33] have an equalizer that is [01:33] the latest amarok does have hotkeys tho [01:33] Venin, error: asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory [01:33] i am going to install 8.04 right now and i have a really weak wireless signal... is there any way that i can not install all of the updates? [01:33] ouch... [01:33] could someone help me to get to work any gateway/router application on my ubuntu?? [01:34] i dont understand why i cant have rhythmbox playing music and firefox flash videos playing music too without having to restart either [01:34] * regeya cranks disposable heroes, makes a note to make sure it's in his playlist at work too [01:34] On to the next, then... which good media player have an equializer?

The drivers are properly installed, however I am having difficulties configuring the computer to use the wireless.

[01:44] CokeFTW, Places > Computer [01:44] what do i have to edit so that it switches to the right hard drive at boot time [01:45] Domino [01:45] domino, windows has to be installed first [01:45] you want to install winXP on the second drive first, then re-install ubuntu and GRUB should pick up on the two installs [01:45] CokeFTW, filesystem > media > force [01:45] Tulimaq: OMG THANK YOU!!!!!!

Firefox does not work and gnome desktop does not load [01:47] i tried /dev/ttyS* but I can't find the one i want [01:47] Installing Cedega it said 3D Acceleration test failed, said Graphic card doesnt appear to be setup correctly, where and how can I fix that?

[01:49] complexity: it runs in the background, yes. Why? [01:49] i'm running intrepid ibex too, so i can only hope jaunty will have it [01:49] i did it and now firefox does not work or the gnome-desktop [01:49] then i have to reinstall ubuntu, silly [01:49] I tried running the 64 bit version, and I used MagicDisk to mount the image, and I tried to install it as my only operating system, and i just got stuck at the command line with no instructions as to what to do except "help" [01:49] MtStGabriel, you might consider that most programs are 32 bit and will run in a 64 bit environ. but with special libraries... more tweeking required. [01:49] I've used ubuntu before, but I've never installed it. [01:49] complexity: what was upgraded? [01:49] can noone help? [01:49] I have /etc/resolve/conf missing when trying to dialup in kppp, anyone help please? [01:49] crtoe: opera has debs for newer releases on their site, iirc.

[01:51] no [01:51] complexity: have you rebooted since the upgrade? I'm fairly certain there's a newer kernel in what you installed, which would require a reboot. [01:52] yes I rebooted tritium right after the upgrade and now gnome desktop does not load , and firefox is broken [01:52] exodus, I am on vista at mo' is there a file i can d/load to use on 8.04 [01:52] contrast: using opera 9.2x is like using firefox 1.5 at this point. it's sad that canonical still doesn't have it in the partner repositories [01:52] what browsers can I apt-get so i can look this problem up . firefox does not work [01:53] complexity: if gnome does not load, how are you able to check firefox?

[01:53] wow, aptitude show exaile makes amarok look like it can't compete [01:54] crtoe: there is a more up-to-date repo for opera, or at the very least, .debs for the current version. google is your friend. ;-) [01:54] Let me try copying this to a CD, and see what happens. [01:54] Does anyone know how to add a custom LCD model to displayconfig-gtk? I need to add acer x163 because it's not on the list and it can't auto detect its settings. [01:54] driving me nuts this kppp [01:54] contrast: i like to keep my repo list small, and i definitely don't download random deb packages. it still doesn't address the root problem [01:54] anyone know the command to open the update manager [01:55] I'll see what happens... [01:55] complexity: update-manager [01:56] Don, does /etc/ppp/resolv.conf exist? if it does, try symlinking it to /etc/resolv.conf [01:56] Is there a file I need to d/load to solve, /etc/resolv/conf missing in kppp [01:56] doesn't exist it says [01:56] well this sucks [01:56] im surprised no one else had this problem [01:56] Hi all. I recently installed Kubuntu 8.04 on my laptop and since 8.04 doesn't have drivers for my wireless card, I used NDISwrapper to install them. The drivers are properly installed, however I am having difficulties configuring the computer to use the wireless. It shows me both an eth0 and a wlan0 interface so I know the card is working (also the card works under windows), but I don't know how to tell Kubuntu to use the wlan0 conne [01:57] kyrksaeterora: got chopped at but I don't know how to tell Kubuntu to use the wlan0 conne [01:57] running vmware workstation really decreases my 9 cell battery by a substantial amount... would say 10-15% faster than normal... without installations or applications running in the virtual machine, my host - 8.04, running the system monitor shows 20-40% of cpu usage between the two cpus and about 4/11ths (not quite half) of the memory being used... why is the battery discharging so fast and do you have any thoughts? [01:57] Don, sudo mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.bak then sudo ln -s /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf [01:57] why my network-manager does not show the wireless ? [01:57] ( crtoe ): the rest of it is "instead of eth0" [01:57] Does anyone have a link that tells you how to get the MinGW compiler working? [01:57] I lost sound in vlc and movie player, I think its pulseaudio, but I still hear everything on the soundtests, and startup sounds, how can I figure out the problem? [01:57] (To compile for Windows from linux) [01:57] CaptainMorgan: it's running a virtualization environment -- in effect two operating systems, what do you expect? [01:58] exodus, thanks, I reboot in 8.04 and try that, cheers [01:58] CaptainMorgan: you could tune the memory settings, don't know/remember the cpu settings (though amd/intel virtualization enabled cpu advancements do make it faster) [01:59] CaptainMorgan: obviously, your battery, etc. would all last longer, but you'll get degraded performance out of vmware [01:59] crtoe, I expect that if the vm was installing something or running an application - then it's acceptable... but the vm wasn't even doing anything... :/ [01:59] rediculous [01:59] Where do I find development man pages? Like man 2 open, for example. [01:59] kyrksaeterora, what is your "iwlist scan wlan0" output [01:59] CaptainMorgan: do you have an operating system running at least? if not, then i agree, that's weird. but if so, then obviously... you have another operating system running, what do you expect? [02:00] ark3qqq: i think it's libc-dev [02:00] Does anyone have a link that tells you how to get the MinGW compiler working? (To compile Windows programs on Linux) [02:00] k, thanks crtoe [02:00] ( Tulimaq ): 'iwlist: unknown command 'wlan0' (check 'iwlist --help'). [02:00] crtoe: Yep, that seems to work. Thanks much!

[02:02] ( Tulimaq ): i don't want to post the whole list thought 'cause it's info on six networks, so [02:02] vmware rocked virtualbox's house for usb recognition, though.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:22] snuxoll, but that's cool -- they apparently are working on a driver. [02:22] Decepticon: That card should work fine with the close-source nvidia driver installed. [02:22] lightdragon: gotta start somewhere, get on with it [02:22] MindVirus: good then [02:22] hanging at "configuring apt sources" [02:22] jrib, ok, it shows me current installed version and other available versions, how can i specify the version i want to install ? [02:22] my network-manager does not show the wireless, help? [02:22] cafuego thats nice but i need to install ubuntu first [02:23] cafuego: I thought nvidio dropped official support for everything below GeForce 6XXX ? [02:23] with this video card or my other geforce fx 5500 [02:23] Decepticon: Can you flip to console (alt-F1) ? [02:23] *nvidia [02:23] hello... where can i ask about latex questions?? [02:23] i have no monitor and these cards allow me to see the screen on the tv [02:23] ltcabral: #latex [02:23] thanks [02:23] orudie: you should usually install the latest one (and that happens automaticall). Is there a reason you want to install an older version? [02:23] cafuego i havent tried, but i bet it would work, because i can defintlye see output on the tv from bootup (bios post etc) [02:23] hey all, is anyone else having DMA issues with ATA CDROMs? [02:23] it just farts on me when i try to livecd [02:24] StyleCHM: nope [02:24] Decepticon: Yeah, it lacks that driver. [02:24] thanks guys, i'm trying to get my linux networked to windows so that i can have complete access both on my windows box and my linux box. I've checked online and installed samba as per directions, but i'mlsot when it comes to the mounting part... what exactly am i supposed to mount and where to? [02:24] cafuego will ubuntu 8.10 support it [02:24] Decepticon: try installing on a different output firt [02:24] Decepticon: ... so it defaults to vesa. [02:24] Decepticon: based on what snuxoll says, I wouldn't count on it. [02:24] jrib, i'm having problems with the one i have installed, it keeps giving error "network drive is no longer available" in the middle of copying files to or from samba server / share [02:24] "WARNING: ATAPI DMA disabled for reliablity issues." [02:24] i have no other way to do this... all i have is s-video to tv, with either geforce fx 5200 or geforce fx 5500... i have no monitor [02:24] Decepticon: after you've finished the install, install the restricted nvidia driver, and reboot, although I'm still pretty sure nvidia dropped support [02:24] this is on intrepid tho [02:24] I was trying to reinstall Ubuntu 8.10 Beta on my Dell Mini 9. Instead of going to a LiveUSB desktop it keeps throwing me into a BusyBox Shell I get the error: [ 0.749487] ACPI: GC: GPE storm detected, disabling EC GPE Loading Please wait...

[02:25] lightdragon: samba allos you to serve files to linux boxes, however it doesnt handle associating the windows with the linux box. for that you need to mount the windows volumes within the linux file system [02:25] ubottu: thanks mate [02:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks mate [02:25] memeemeee: do you see a list of any wms?

[02:26] jrib, returns couldnt find package [02:26] orudie: you forgot the PACKAGE part [02:26] Xserver script, Gnome, failsafe gnome, failsafe terminal [02:26] Decepticon: Yup... and you really don't have any guarantee that it'll work :-( [02:26] sorry rideh i'm not following so far [02:26] memeemeee: let me install jwm here and see [02:26] ok, burning with brasiero this time, at _1x_ :P [02:26] hello all. i have a slight issue with xfce. i enabled 3d effects and it worked fine and all. i then selected xfcewm to manage the windows and now my xfce menu is ALWAYS on top...even full screen video. so reran compiz and the menubar does NOT stay on top...but with compiz get frame tearing...so how can i reenable xfcewm and tell the menu bar to not always be on top [02:27] AND checksum safety [02:27] as long as i can get a text console and get ubuntu installed, i have the drivers sitting around (i made the geforce fx 5500 with tv out work on debian with them) [02:27] * cafuego wonders how long beforee his 6200 will stop being supported :-P [02:27] lightdragon: you state that you want windows and linux to work together. samba will allow the windows box to work with linux, but not vice-versa thats where mounting the windows volumes within linux comes in [02:27] please anyone? it's eben like this for a while and I really dont want to reinstall the OS [02:27] why do they stop supporting old hardware? [02:27] memeemeee: just install openbox and run dpkg -L openbox in order to find where is session file is located or checkout gdm.conf [02:27] cafuego: nvidia would be stupid to stop supporting the 6XXX and 7XXX cards [02:27] Rideh: How do i mount the windows volumes within the linux file system then? [02:27] its pretty easy [02:27] Decepticon: no commercial reason for them to [02:27] cafuego: since they're the only ones that work properly under linux :P [02:28] !mount | lightdragon [02:28] lightdragon: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [02:28] Decepticon: Drop support, force upgrades, increase sales, limit development requirements... [02:28] Rideh: is there a way or a place that could give this to me step by step? [02:28] Decepticon: ... why does any proprietary corp drop support... [02:28] cafuego: because you don't want to maintain stuff forever [02:28] lightdragon: check out bobertdos & ubottu they did that for u [02:29] cafuego: Ubuntu drops support on old software too, we don't want to support ancient software for the rest of our lives [02:29] snuxoll: that last one was rhetorical.

Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:30] Whats a good newbie guide for understanding ubuntu logs. I'm especially interested in network access logs for outgoing and incoming requests.

Not logging connections is a little disappointing. I'll check help.ubuntu.com [02:33] Rideh: Thx i'm following that link [02:33] lessthanx: there should be no incoming connections by default anyways [02:33] lessthanx: as for logging, that's software dependent [02:33] lessthanx: You can add firewall rules to log them; doing it by default would mean disk would fill up with mainly useless logs far too quickly. === noc is now known as Marks`Man [02:34] hey i [02:34] have a problem with the LiveCD [02:34] !ask | Nick2 [02:34] Nick2: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[02:40] hi munchingfoo [02:40] does anyone use the update manager and get an update with hardy and have it break gnome desktop and break firefox and I cant fix it [02:41] complexity, what do you mean exactly by breaking your desktop? [02:41] complexity: try this command to reinstall the defaults for your system! sudo apt-get install (k|x)ubuntu-desktop^ and dont forget the ^ [02:41] complexity, you cant run in graphical mode ? [02:41] snuxoll: there's a very wide, thin cable and a power cable plugged into it. [02:42] After_Math, I made a fresh install of hardy .. got all the updates and rebooted , now gnome desktop does not load but fluxbox works and firefox does not load in fluxbox [02:42] l3r1k: mind taking a picture? [02:43] Uh.. Sure. One sec. [02:43] clear enough After_Math [02:43] complexity, Im not sure what that could be. Maybe something to do with xorg.conf [02:43] complexity, ya [02:43] Hi folks. I have java installed on my Hardy system, but $JAVA_HOME appears to not be set. I've been advised to set it in /etc/environment, but what should it be set to on a typical Hardy system? /usr/share/java or something else? [02:43] After_Math, I really think it was an update of some sort because I reinstalled this morning after getting the same problem last night...and i didn't do anything last night at all [02:44] After_Math, open your update manager and install all the updates.. see if you can get back here to chat with me after, if you use gnome [02:44] complexity, Updates could possibly override some kind of configuration but Im sure there isnt an update that could break your system. Why not try the new beta? [02:45] complexity, I use the beta. and every time I do an update it gets better for me :) [02:45] After_Math, can I update to that from here? [02:45] complexity, ya [02:45] how [02:45] complexity, one sec [02:45] how do i give people red messages? [02:45] Crell - which java package are you trying to use?

I guess. [02:47] can anny1 help me please? i have the voodoo glitch [02:47] complexity, then it should tell you about a New distribution release is availabe, CLick upgrade [02:47] After_Math, alright, thanks [02:48] complexity, np [02:48] if anny1 knows how to fit the voodoo glitch please help me [02:49] oliver__: the voodoo glitch?

[03:00] gnea i have to reboot into linux all time [03:00] it wont allow me too resize the windows partition [03:00] Don: do you want help or do you want to keep chasing your tail? [03:00] zeelot: sudo dpkg --force-depends --purge (or --remove) mysql-server-5.0 [03:00] riddle me this. [03:00] I just need to know which file I can d/load here on windows [03:01] Don: i have just explained to you the first step you need to take. if you are unwilling to work with anyone in here on this, then you are unwilling to connect via dialup using ubuntu. [03:01] munchingfoo: well, i like to have stuff and so, you know :-) [03:01] gnea, i can connect on kppp on about 20 other linux distros, just not this 8.04 [03:01] Don: those are you DNS settings from your isp [03:01] what are the pro's and cons of 64 bit Ubuntu vs 32 bit? Do I need to install 64 bit if I have 3Gb of Memory and dual processors? [03:01] Don: you can use other ones though if you like in the resolv.conf [03:01] hey, so compositioning doesnt work with my video driver and dual monitors for some reason [03:02] Don: like namserver 4.2.2.1 [03:02] but I really wanna use awn, is there an awn replacement that doesnt require compiz to run ? [03:02] or anything like awn ? [03:02] i'm looking at a sight that says to use the command #apt-get update but it doesn't seem to do anything on the terminal. there's another #apt-get install smbfs smbclient that also doesn't seem to do anything.... am i doing something wrong? [03:02] lightdragon: yes [03:02] Don: then you and i have nothing further to talk about. [03:02] if I wanted to start creating my own widgets where would i start [03:02] lightdragon, what exactly are you trying to do [03:02] lightdragon: apt is used to install software. apt-get update will update your local database of files availible. apt-get install will install a perticular package. [03:02] !apt | lightdragon [03:02] lightdragon: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [03:03] lightdragon: You can use Synaptic or Applications > Add/remove to install software as well. [03:03] anyone ? [03:03] if I wanted to start creating my own widgets where would i start [03:03] !best | casperr [03:03] casperr: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:03] I'm trying to install ubuntu on an older laptop - I've gone through 4 cds to try and get a "good" burn - the problem is, they verify correctly on my desktop. When I check it on the laptop, they all fail the integrity check, although I *just* did on on the desktop. Bad cd drive? [03:04] oh [03:04] mochabcha: maybe check out the screenlets project or desklets [03:04] well im just looking for a dock application [03:04] the md5 is correct - on the iso, and the cd [03:04] i just was asking people to list some off so I can try different oens [03:04] RazorsKiss: are you burning at a slow speed? [03:04] RazorsKiss: bad drive or maybe the drive doesn't like the media that you are burning on. [03:04] yes, 4x and below, in all 4 cases [03:04] histo: I like screenlets better because they seem to work better with compiz but what language [03:04] RazorsKiss: try a different brand of cdr or a slower like 4x burn speed [03:04] histo: python [03:04] hi everyone, whats the best way to setup a house internal remote desktop viewer (got a server (winxp) what i need to control) from ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron [03:04] histo: just installed puppy with the same media batch, earlier today [03:04] mochabcha: I would contact the author of the application to find out more info. [03:05] RazorsKiss: then try a 4x burn. [03:05] histo: everything has been 4x and below [03:05] histo: great idea [03:05] hitman1985: i use remote admin under wine [03:05] histo: first two were 4x, 3rd was 2x, 4th was 1x [03:05] nada. [03:05] gnea, the distro is linux mint 5, obviously the /etc/resolv.conf is not on the dvd, all I want to know is how to install it [03:05] RazorsKiss: hrm.. thats wierd that they are failing. [03:05] the_lost_one: think teamviewer will run under wine ? [03:05] histo: they don't fail on the desktop. [03:05] RazorsKiss: there are other methods of installing. [03:05] !install > RazorsKiss [03:05] RazorsKiss, please see my private message [03:06] the_lost_one: never liked radmin :( [03:06] Don: does this look like the linux mint support channel? [03:06] hitman1985: haha, good question, let me check it [03:06] it is ubuntu [03:06] well, this is a 733mhz [03:06] histo: i want to create custom widgets that handle all my programs common functions so I don't have to [03:06] Don: resolv.conf is just a file that points at nameservers. Youc an make one up like I told you earlier. [03:06] the_lost_one: no need runing now [03:06] oh i get it.. i'm not supposed to type the # I had no idea. thanks for that... and to answer Local-Host I'm trying to network my windows and linux boxes together. Rideh gave me a link to follow.... But i'm a complete noob all around and really feel lost in this... I'm comfortable on windows, but have never done networking, and have always stayed away from the confusion of linux until ubuntu arrived. I have a [03:06] lways wanted to do linux instead of windows... but i'm still lost... [03:06] so my options are limited already. [03:06] it won't usb boot [03:06] the file explorer (i don't know what it's called :/) froze. how can i end the process without messing up everything else? [03:06] the_lost_one: just didnt remember i had wine tho ;) easier things are always the worst to realize [03:06] and the cd drive is my only option, [03:06] Don: sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf and put in there nameserver 4.2.2.1 [03:07] zeelot: have you gotten things working? [03:07] Don: that will work for the time being. [03:07] I installed 2 other OS' on it today, so the cd drive works at least that well [03:07] i use remote desktop viewer from synaptic and VNC on windows [03:07] histo: like if I wanted to make a call or send an email, I want to create a collapsible contact widget that syncs with my phone and allows me to email, im, call or edit any of my contacts [03:07] I just installed hardy on my vostro and activated the driver for my BCM4310 card. It works fine, but I have to keep re-enabling this each boot. Any ideas? [03:07] lightdragon: i'd recommend starting with the basics and building strong fundamentals [03:07] mochabcha: I don't know anything about them. [03:07] I installed win2k just for kicks, to see if it'd work - and puppy instaleld realyl fast. However, puppy won't find my wireless card. [03:08] hi. problems with ATI radeon 9800 pro. im sure drivers are correctly installed and it works perfect in winxp. but launching 3d apps (like openarena or compiz) in xubuntu make display freezes and is need a hard-reboot. details at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766699&page=5 (last post) thx [03:08] RazorsKiss: are you using the alternate cd?

I know bad idea but I do the best I can... I kinda got thrown into Ubuntu because windows refused to notice my ethernet card but ubuntu was quite happy with it so i decided to just abandon windows ... [03:09] the_lost_one: thanks im still dling it :) [03:09] zeelot: did you just reinstall mysql? [03:09] hitman1985: 100% agree :( [03:09] danbh_intrepid, every cd I've tried has failed on the base config/install section [03:09] RazorsKiss: intrepid support is in #ubuntu+1 that may be your whole problem. [03:09] will compiz ever work with ati & dual monitors ? [03:09] and they all fail the integrity check - but the md5 is correct, and the cd's themselves validate on the desktop [03:09] theGuyUpstairs [03:09] histo: intrepid? === lucifer_ is now known as lu6cifer [03:09] histo -> driver its correctly installed. its ATI propietary. that doesnt is useful [03:10] histo: this is the alternate install cd for hardy. [03:10] which web based ssh client do you guys recommend ? [03:10] the_lost_one: i started with linux about 3 month ago, and i got all my work apps runing on ubuntu so far, wont go back for work to M$ [03:10] hitman1985: but hey, now whe have first wine estable, and its awesome ow good works [03:10] lightdragon: well good luck but even with the ubuntu crowd being the most gentle to get started with many will take for granted some knowledge [03:10] is there a channel for x64 users? [03:10] RazorsKiss: lol nvm that was someones name you typed [03:10] redrebel: what do you mean "web based"? [03:10] i killed the firefox process and now it won't start back up. do i have to restart x? [03:10] heh [03:10] turtle_: you know, there probably should be [03:10] tripps, like using a web browser to ssh to my computer [03:10] yeha [03:10] lightdragon: for the record i started with gentoo did a phase 1 install until i figured it out :) was great for me to undestand the why's [03:10] hi, the scrollbar part of my laptop's touchpad will sometimes, somehow, press 'ctrl + b'. anyone know what might be causing this? [03:10] turtle_: no but there is #gnash [03:10] hitman1985: yeah, thats the idea haha [03:10] was 8.04.1 supposed to fix bcm43xx out of the box? [03:11] histo: it's frustrating. Nothing's workin for me :/ [03:11] i know of ajaxterm, but idk if it's secure [03:11] histo: plus, I'm almost out of cds :D [03:11] the_lost_one: wine is nice and neat but i still prefer to have the ubuntu repos involved rather then runing "mounted" stuff [03:11] RazorsKiss: well I highly doubt all those cds are bad. [03:12] has anyone in here managed to get compiz running on dual monitors with an ati card ? [03:12] histo: any idea why gnash isnt working [03:12] hi, I'm trying to compile something on 8.04. It had no config file, so I just typed 'make'. It's coming out with a bunch of errors, but the first one on the list is : "stdio.h: No such file or directory." I thought Ubuntu was installed with gcc? So why wouldn't it have the standard header file? How do I get it? [03:12] hitman1985: of course, but, for work, i must use some stupid stuff like radmin, and i must get it working hehe [03:12] RazorsKiss: its most likely an issue witht he drive you are using. As I mentioned before there are other ways to install via usb. etc... [03:12] danbh_intrepid: yea seemed to do the trick [03:12] hi, the scrollbar part of my laptop's touchpad will sometimes, somehow, press 'ctrl + b'. anyone know what might be causing this? [03:12] turtle_: no idea you have to elaborate a little on your problem and someone might be able to help you.

[03:50] Orbixx: I've never had a problem [03:50] except once i lost my boot record [03:50] jclbrt: Could've just been me - I just assumed it must happen often. [03:50] but i was able to get that back [03:50] It was the first time I used gparted to resize anything. [03:50] rooly|away: it happens at any time, or when the laptop stays some time running? [03:50] as long as he does not delete his partition he should be fine [03:50] hitman1985: there's some tutorials out there as well, such as this one http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc [03:51] Is it possible to run Konversation on Windows XP [03:51] jclbrt: I got my partition back too by recovering the raw data and using software to recognise the data and split them into files appropriately.

[03:52] Digital7: thank you very much, ill do my best reading up on it, and hit u back up mid next week probably ok ? [03:52] Okay. For those of you with VirtualBox - I see that there are 2 editions.

[03:53] hitman1985: you'll have to catch me on MSN, i'm not often here [03:53] Eida: Depends on your partition structure. [03:53] while i wait for gparted to down, jclbrt should i backup any peticular system files just in case you think? [03:53] Eida: Do you have just /home and / ? [03:53] i use ext3 [03:53] hitman1985: but i've never used it myself, just was something i had planned on doing [03:53] digital7 do you know how to run konversation on windows xp [03:53] orbixx, because that error i get when trying to dial [03:53] Orbixx: because it defines DNS servers, which would be provided by a dial-up ISP, for example. [03:53] it telling me it missing [03:54] tickleme_eddie: sorry, I don't -- but if it's possible -- someone here likely will [03:54] !broadcom [03:54] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [03:54] nop...when i try to save any file..it said no space left..

"sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-`uname -r`" When I try to run it, it just goes to another line with a ">" and nothing else.

It seems strange that the program would require resolv.conf at all then.

[03:56] Aeonis: Best thing to do if you don't see it is to run "uname -r" and paste it to where it should be located in your line. [03:56] tickleme_eddie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:01] i'm using ssh only..this server to far from me [04:01] Eida: Use the "du" command to get total sizes of directories and to work out what you can delete. [04:01] does anyone know why my onboard nic would suddenly drop every other hour or so? [04:01] jclbrt you said i have to burn the gparted image (.iso) to a CD right? [04:02] Eida: For your information, the root partition (/) contains everything that isn't specified as a partition elsewhere, so try not accidentally deleting something that does not require to be deleted that is on a different partition to the root partition. [04:02] yea [04:02] k just checkin [04:02] zappp: yes u do [04:02] in theory you can run it from linux, but i dnt ever do that [04:02] i dnt trust that feature [04:02] Eida: Does that help?

Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.

Like a hot key like "Alt + Tab"? [04:05] so wait I have too do that a single file at a time? [04:05] ctrl+alt+arrow keys [04:05] Aeonis: Ctrl-Alt- [04:06] I installed a lot of packages, some of those should let me display the temp of my proc on the panel [04:06] flippin a that is awesome tritium [04:06] Aeonis: ;) [04:06] hey folks, I am having a problem with ftp permissions using vsftpd. I want all the files I upload to have the permissions 755, and I have set the file_open_mode=0755 and local_umask=0755, but neither are functioning properly [04:06] any clues? [04:07] drandoss: looks like it. However, using tab completion in a terminal will make the job a lot easier [04:07] TheZealot: Restarted the ftpd? [04:07] jclbrt: im burning it to a CD now [04:07] Orbixx: yes, after every change I restar and reload [04:07] Heh, just checking ;) [04:07] Easy to forget.

[04:09] drandoss: That's why you see a lot of sentences in these places start with people's names. It's to get their attention and stop people from missing things - especially in a big room like this. [04:09] with out reinstall ubuntu [04:09] aaronorosen: Reinstall your bootloader (probably grub) [04:10] Orbixx: I can run the grub command when i chroot to that partition off of a live cd. [04:11] Orbixx: when i run root (hd0,0) i get an error 21 saying selected disk does not exist [04:11] Also i have no tab completion there. [04:11] two questions: how can i increase the number of virtual desktops i have (i deleted the switcher on my panel and adding a new one doens't work) [04:11] aaronorosen: Check which disks exist then - the contents of /dev/ will likely be different on a livecd. [04:11] and my system under the new kernel is bricked upon instillation of a wireless card driver [04:11] aaronorosen, is it a sata drive? [04:11] * Zappp pokes jclbrt [04:12] how can i get rid of the new kernel or fix it? [04:12] yes it is sata [04:12] nick__, boot to the old one.

[04:15] Omg I think im going too have too write something in python too get ;1 off all these files [04:15] I have the partition mounted to /test [04:16] aaronorosen: then you must create /dev [04:16] and i can run chroot /test and i have all my files but for some reason /dev isn't completely coming along.

I have no idea what it would be. Help? [04:20] which can be put into simple words [04:20] B1BLancer1, not sure but have you tried your normal password? [04:20] B1BLancer1, its the same password you use to log in [04:20] open System > Preferences > Encryption and keyrings [04:20] aaronorosen: for the proc, you must type mount -t proc none /test/proc [04:21] woli, in terminal do "update-rc.d 'scriptname' defaults" [04:21] http://pastebin.ca/1231511 [04:21] I'll just leave this here...

I tried my login password. Apparently, that's not it. [04:26] i'm a little new so i'm not sure that's right [04:26] graeme, I dought youll be able to get any information off a drive thats been formated and have a OS installed on [04:26] but cfdisk shows my partitions as sdx instead of hdx [04:26] @ jclbrt no i want to divde the one largest partition into 2-3 so i can install ubuntu as a dual boot [04:26] anewson, hardy labels all drives as sdXX [04:27] anewson: that's normal for hardy [04:27] ah yeah?

[04:34] I'm trying to run Flash/Firefox audio through a second sound device, but all of the tips i've read (such as using `aoss`, or linking /tmp/.esd-1000) aren't working; sound is always being directed to the on-board sound device. Can anyone help? [04:35] anewson: probably something to do with udev not seeing the partitions, then. [04:35] anyone has an ati radeon working in his pc? with 3d accel? [04:35] pajamian: well, that's interesting =) I'm very appreciative of that advice, I would never have figured that out on my own. [04:35] pajamian: which is also probably why ubuntu won't boot, yeah? [04:35] side note: rhythmbox is correctly being redirected to the second device after i changed the seetings in System->prefs->sound [04:36] anewson: and I wish I could say that I'm an expert on udev, but I'm not, but at least now you know a bit more about where to look. Maybe you can find some info from googling, now. [04:36] jclbrt it wont let me >_> also says there is a bad sector. if i delete it and try making a new one would i have to reinstall windows? [04:36] yea hold that thought, i'll take a look- thanks for the help sofar pajamian [04:36] anewson: yw [04:36] yes Zappp you would [04:37] you should repair the disk first [04:37] how do i do that? [04:37] TheZealot: yeah, it is confusing. [04:37] with like fdisk or something like that [04:37] i just use Apple's Disk utility normally [04:37] but ur on PC i dunno how on that [04:38] Something got seriously messed up, my screen resolution will not go to anythinb but 640x480 now, I tried doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that has only made things worse [04:38] Zappp, reformat it with fdisk or cfdisk [04:39] im fine with reformatting as long as it doesnt require a reinstall of windows XP wich i cant do [04:39] Is there a mac emulator that works on Ubuntu? I wanted to run a dmg package [04:39] Zappp reformatting would require a reinstall of XP [04:39] urg [04:39] Zappp, sorry I misunderstood [04:39] Can anybody help me with a default keyring password issue?

[04:43] After_Math : I was trying to get evolution mail set up, and in the set up process it said I needed to enter the password to unlock the default keyring.

[04:44] if you have a super fast computer [04:44] liza0, yes via "wine" [04:44] and wine [04:44] izinucs : I don't think so. I wouldn't know how to do that. [04:44] liza0: WoW is compatible with Wine [04:44] !wine [04:44] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

[04:47] B1BLancer1, also maybe this System->Preferences->Encyption and Keyrings then [04:47] highlight the password keyring "login" then click Remove Keyring then reboot. [04:47] sorry for double post [04:48] Zappp: what is it for? [04:48] someone tell me how to load the power applet in x? [04:48] After_Math : ok. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

[04:50] Zappp: right you only need the img file, the other files are probably text files and may contain helpful info, so read them with a text editor (or less) [04:51] how to show available usernames on a system ?

[04:54] kuthux: users won't display all users, just the normal ones. [04:54] maddash: ok then. thx [04:55] I'm having an issue with xorg, for whatever reason if the screensaver goes active, x seems to shut down even though I have it set up not to [04:55] kuthux: actually users does something entirely different [04:55] thats why i always cat passwd :) [04:55] kuthux: users displays a list of *logged in* users [04:55] maddash: users - print the user names of users currently logged in to the current host [04:55] pajamian, why would users list my username 3 times?

[04:58] izinucs: users shows you how many user sessions are active. each terminal and various applications create their own session. [04:58] ajhtiredwolf at least nvidia drivers are good, propietaryes and opensourced. ATI drivers just sux. cant install by themselves and doest work at all... [04:58] kuthux: pay atention to the shell they have /bin/nologin or /bin/false [04:58] kuthux, some are, usually just standard users and root, also depending on your ssh configuration [04:58] Kr0ntab, that makes sense [04:58] one is typically your desktop session... the second is your terminal... open another terminal and you'll see the third [04:58] is there some app out there that is better then the original system manager.

[04:59] Isilion, ive had problems with both :(, people hardly respond to question about nvidia or ati in here htough, I think because they are usually hard to answer [04:59] verified.. thank Kr0ntab [04:59] kuthux: what the_lost_one just said about shell, also if the user_id (third column) is 1000 or greater then chances are it's a normal user and you can log into it via ssh.

[05:05] goldie> apt-get downgrade-windows or join a windows channel [05:05] venger, the nvidia driver? that is already been installed.

[05:11] izinucs: sorry forgot to put your name infont [05:12] abstractEntity: if you want to use the tar.gz you have to extract it, then compile the program yourself... type "man tar" in a terminal [05:12] abstractEntity: like the_lost_one says though, it will be much easier if you find it in a repository [05:12] predator363, check under system/admin/hardware drivers and see if there is a restricted driver there that needs to be activated [05:12] "partial" install problem with wubi. advise would be appreciated [05:12] ok thank you [05:12] ajhtiredwolf, off the top of my head Driver "nvidia" under device i believe [05:12] venger, I think it does when you enable the driver, right now my xorg is the false safe one generated from selecting the card manually [05:12] izinucs: it wont let me past the warning! running in low graphics mode screen [05:13] the fstab format has changed. could someone explain how I would modify the hard drive device when it isn't displayed in human readable text? (like /dev/hdb1 instead of /dev/hda1) [05:13] predator363, what warning? [05:13] izinucs: i am currently in vista [05:13] venger, want me to rundpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and hten add it? [05:13] ajhtiredwolf, pastebin your xorg.conf [05:13] I am trying to get iptables to allow incoming connections on port 80 and forward them to an internal apache server. I can not get it to work. Could someone look at my iptables rules and tell me if there is something wrong? [05:14] proqesi, use blkid to identify the uuid of drives/partitions [05:14] venger, http://pastebin.com/m1eb4a7a4 [05:14] proqesi: just put /dev/hdb1, it should work just as well. [05:14] is ubuntu smart enough that i can turn it off, add a new wifi card and a pvr150 tv tuner card, and reboot, that it'll recognize the stuff and use it [05:14] tr-ee: use pastebin, and will see [05:14] izinucs: when i boot into ubuntu it loads the x server and then pops up a little window telling me to choos the options of troubleshooting (which does nothing) or configureing displaydrivers (which iv tinkered with and havent chaged anything cos i can figure it out) [05:14] is there somebody that well know about ubuntu security? i need somebody to help me to check my server vulnerabilities [05:14] the_lost_one, is it ok if I link you to my forum post?

Google "irssi" for a command line irc client in linux.. it's actually easy.. ctrl+alt+F2 will get you to a text screen to install and load irssi.. ctrl+alt+f7 get's you to the gui.. by bouncing back and forth you can fix the system. [05:18] i'm looking to set up a sandbox web dev environment (Apache, mySql) and would also like samba + remote desktop [05:18] how do i get to the terminal [05:18] with virtual consoles [05:18] should i install server or desktop editions for that? [05:19] venger, when it doesnt recognize the card, a widnows comes up asking me to select the card manually, i do so, i tell it nvidia, and then select 8 series, and it creates that xog.conf [05:19] izinuc: yea i know how to get into command line how would i install the command line irc from say a thumb drive? [05:19] anyone know how to load battery applet in X11? [05:20] ajhtiredwolf, the nv driver probably can't handle a 8800gt. remove the restricted driver package, download the latest nvidia binary for your arch, switch to vt and stop gdm, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.80-pkg2.run and let it update the canned xorg.conf [05:20] kulfi, server and if you need a gui at some point you can install it on top [05:20] how do i change the port that ssh operates on? [05:20] so server comes w/o gui? [05:20] wubi load problem. 'format space ofr partition ubuntu/disk/...' never loads. (stuck at 0%) any ideas?

[05:21] what's /etc/mtab, and could it have anything to do with this? [05:21] venger, sorry I dont mean to be a pain but how do you remove the restricted driver package, where can I find the binary driver for my arch and what is vt, how do i stop gdm? [05:21] pajamian what do toyu mean by yes [05:21] pajamian or is it better to do a reinstall with the hardware in place [05:21] kulfi, server is text based only.. to install a gui on top you can sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop [05:22] Izinuc: how would i configure a wireless connection in command line? [05:22] tr-ee: yeah, im looking at my rules [05:22] thanks izinucs! [05:22] if i unstall the ubuntu 8.10 beta, ill I be able to upgrade it after the official launch [05:22] predator363, that I don't have the answer to .. sorry [05:22] dang [05:22] ajhtiredwolf, you should be able to just use the driver manager icon and remove it since you installed it via the same icon, no?

[06:07] venger if that helps [06:07] anyone know how to get ssh working on a different port otehr than 22? [06:07] DorothyJean: there should be comments in the actual file [06:08] lliw00 did you try changing the port in the sshconfig ? [06:08] ajhtiredwolf1, with no edid you could end up having to list modes, modelines as well [06:08] i need upgrading from ubuntu 5.10 to 8.04 [06:08] DorothyJean: the comments should walk you though what to do [06:08] it says only root can do that [06:08] lliw00 or are people just not being able to connect to it on that port? [06:08] DorothyJean the operating systems listed in theer are the ones that you can choose from, move the one you want as default to be the first one listed in that file [06:08] hey ubuntu__- talking to me? still trying to mount that root filesystem?

[06:09] predator363, mv is a command, needs a space after it, and I believe the directory is named X11 not x11, case matters [06:09] ubuntu__: you need to type "sudo" in front of the mount command [06:09] ah. [06:09] OH!! yea im so stupid i dident cap [06:09] ajhtiredwolf1: i changed the port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and when i entered the command sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart, it said unknown option -t [06:09] gonna try again [06:10] so what is the exact command i should type so i make sure to get it right [06:10] does anyone know if i can run /sbin/hotplug to create some missing /dev/ entries? or am i barking up the wrong tree [06:10] lliw00 try stop then start [06:10] help. how does it change the boot?

[06:13] !upgrade | l1208 [06:13] l1208: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:13] l1208, you'll have to upgrade to each individual release between 5.10 and 8.04, it will take many hours [06:13] ajhtiredwolf1, no he basically resorted to a custom EDID bin file which doesn't seem to be available on that site [06:13] hello?

[06:15] l1208, you're looking at about two to three hours per upgrade probably, and five of them to do I think.. it would probably be much less time consuming to download the cd images, burn them, and install them [06:16] how can I install flashplugin with swiftfox [06:16] how can I install flashplugin with swiftfox and intel x86_64 ? [06:16] ajhtiredwolf1, search that panel make model + xorg.conf, look for those who have a solution, you dont want to reinvent the wheel on this, much time to be spent mucking with modelines [06:16] the audio coming from my speakers is staticy and echos while any sound tries to play through it, anyone help?

[06:24] nubs lmao? [06:24] not to be mean but are you like 12? [06:24] predator363: so, what you need to do (or what worked for me) is run the instructions in the xorg.conf file that say how to reconfigure it automatically... [06:24] anewson: owell it is a good way to learn [06:24] aflack: 11, actually [06:24] y is it when i type a command and i put my password in it tell me couldnt find package [06:24] wow no wonder [06:24] aaron: how do i do that?

[06:25] aflack: tbh i'm amazed you can do more than spam [06:25] predator363: if you want to be reminded of how to do it: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the command is right up there ... This should work if you tweaked it yourself poorly. [06:26] predator363: and it was working before... [06:26] anewson: i'm amazed you call that spamming, im asking a question and no one answers so i ask again. and im amazed people still use the word nub.

Intrepid kubuntu makes me happy for the most part but my wacom tablet doesn't work. [06:27] no one knew 40 seconds ago, no one knows now, chill for a bit [06:27] aflack, when you ask the question often enough that it's on my screen three times, it's spamming :D [06:28] aaron: its a fresh install and it did this someone told me to remove xorg.conf and it would solve all my troubles but it dident change anything [06:28] MrDarkUser, fair enough :D [06:28] well then bye i guess ill never be able to listen to music on ubuntu [06:28] predator363: have you looked at your /var/log/ xorg stuff?

For example, ata_piix for Intel PIIX chipsets. [06:31] cmyk: thats what i want. it wont make / make install anything, right ? [06:31] jim_p: right [06:31] predator363: get vmware and poke with it in there [06:32] jim_p: it grabs the dsc, .tar.gz and patches IIRC [06:32] np,yw [06:32] cmyk: hmm... there are a bunch loaded, not sure if the one i need is there. can i figure out which i need from lshw?

However that's the only possible way I have seen to get inside of the Ubuntu disk or installer. [06:35] SuperTM: cant you boot from the bootable disk? [06:35] jim_p: Is though Wubi , and the "Start installer with ACPI workarounds" [06:35] mm [06:35] jim_p: no [06:36] jim_p: there is an ekiga 3.0 but synaptics package manager for ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron does not show there is a latest version of 3.0 [06:36] super_absorbant: why? [06:36] anewson: pata_amd [06:36] jim_p: I do not see the same option on the bootable disk to "start with ACPI work arounds" [06:36] jim_p: As with Wubi [06:36] anewson: there should be something like "IDE controller: AMD ..." in lspci output [06:36] anewson: I'm n00b, but if it helps: When Linux detects plugged-in-h/w, it looks thru /etc/udev/rules.d [06:36] I need help with grub/lilo.. when i boot my computer ut only says GRUB on the entire screen.... anyone able to help me please?

(i messed up acpi and ahci !!!) [06:37] anewson: so if someone said u havea udev prob, they mean that there is no code in that folder that mounts the hdd when it's detected [06:37] anewson: sata_nv is likely taking care of that already (some sata modules implicitly do pata too, it's not always obvious) [06:37] ahh screw it im gonna just forget ubuntu and go back to vista im so tired of things not working......vista actualy runs great for me so ... [06:37] ata_piix for example does both sata/pata [06:37] SuperTM: you put it in the line of custom boot options [06:37] I need help with grub/lilo.. when i boot my computer ut only says GRUB on the entire screen.... anyone able to help me please?

[06:38] jim_p: to the little line [06:38] predator363, try hardy, it's a stable release, unlike the current version of intrepid [06:38] cmyk: no, unfortunately [06:38] jim_p: you have any idea on that last thing i said? [06:38] SuperTM: yes. i dont have a live cd handy yo put in vbox [06:38] hardy will not even install it is not in anyway compatable with my video or wireless card [06:38] cmyk: think i should try and find and get it? [06:38] jim_p: do I need to do it like -noapi, or any special things? [06:38] blak: if ekiga3 is part of gnome 2.24, you have to wait for 8.10 [06:39] ja bryr mig inte om de är lilo eller grub... bara ja kan välja windows eller ubuntu så e ja nöjd [06:39] I need help with grub/lilo.. when i boot my computer ut only says GRUB on the entire screen.... anyone able to help me please? [06:39] jim_p: oh ok, thanks [06:39] i got hardy running after a while but could not make it detect wireless networks or run the proper display drivers [06:39] SuperTM: no. and no dashes. in case this does not work, try acpi=off [06:39] Dekkzter: look at /boot/grub/menu.lst (thats an ell not a one) [06:40] jim_p: I suppose I shall reboot and try? === saint_ is now known as Sa[i]nT [06:40] anewson: does sda show up after running udevtrigger?

[06:41] predator363: vista beta2 was not ready either :) [06:41] how can i mount it without a /dev/ entry? [06:41] predator363: I would'nt lose hope in the failure of Intrepid -beta-. [06:41] anewson: create the dev entry manually... for the time being [06:41] cmyk: will only last until reboot though [06:41] im not losing hope im just hoping the final release will work [06:41] ah yea but don't i need the UUID for that? [06:41] predator363: other distros also work - right now :) [06:41] Figured it out no .bashrc file [06:41] anewson: no? [06:41] ill get it in about a month when its been out a while and all the kinks are worked out [06:42] cmyk: lol k, how? [06:42] anewson: the uuid is something that's, ahem, stored on sda2.

[06:47] wartalker: let me think of a network manager alternative [06:47] well usually my fdisk (not cfdisk) automatically does it... but you can also trigger it on the shell [06:47] cmyk: nah i know they're there [06:47] well the kernel thinks otherwise [06:47] cmyk: i could mount them fine using 7.10 [06:47] wartalker: do you see the wireless network when you double click the networks icon on the tray? [06:48] omfgitsashark, are you using a 64bit distro? [06:48] anewson: is any of sda or sdb mounted right now? === iNutshel1 is now known as iNutshell [06:48] anybody here from china?

[07:35] has anyone tried wakeonlan lately and verified that it's actually working? because it's not working for me [07:35] i just download flash player 10 which is in a tar.gz how do i install it [07:35] Kartagis: works for me [07:36] how do i restart X [07:36] Decepticon: ctrl+alt+backspace [07:36] Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace, I think [07:36] Decepticon: that or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [07:36] !configure | goldie [07:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about configure [07:36] i dont have the gui working p\roperly [07:36] so i need to restart it via console [07:36] thanks histo [07:37] Decepticon: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [07:37] goldie, ./configure make make install [07:37] Decepticon: that was restarting gnome desktop manager [07:37] goldie: extract it and read the instructions [07:37] goldie: basically you can put the .so file in your firefox plugins directory. [07:38] Decepticon: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [07:38] :D [07:38] traxx, I first thought it could be because of network and isolated it, tried it and it didn't work [07:39] What does the abbreviation 'ABI' stand for in the name of the directory /usr7share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/ABI/ and /boot/abi-2.6.24-16-generic? [07:39] Kartagis: how are you using it? [07:39] i'm too stupid for that command [07:39] any other alternatives to kill a task on a given time? [07:40] traxx, wakeonlan -i ip macaddress [07:40] Kartagis: ``ip'' meaning what? [07:40] Azhi_Dahaka: sleep then a kill would work. What are you trying to do exactly [07:40] Kartagis: -i should have the broadcast as argument [07:40] traxx, IP address of the PC [07:40] kill a task at 3AM [07:41] Azhi_Dahaka: you should use cron then [07:41] !cron [07:41] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [07:41] only once [07:41] Kartagis: try '-i ' instead [07:41] Azhi_Dahaka: yeap cron can do that. [07:41] Azhi_Dahaka: use at or cron [07:41] yeah use cfon [07:41] Azhi_Dahaka: check out the message from ubottu [07:41] cron [07:42] hi all, how can I disable simple bind in openldap ? [07:42] traxx, man wakeonlan says Destination IP address. Unless you have static ARP tables you should use some kind of broadcast address I have it fixed [07:42] i want something that only uses the cli... tried the man page of at but i didn't get it [07:42] ok thanks guys got flash to work [07:42] and google... well,try googling at :D [07:42] kinda hard, actually [07:42] bastid_raZor how did you install the nvidia driver and get aeveryhing to work? [07:42] Azhi_Dahaka: crontab -e [07:42] Kartagis: i always use the broadcast address and it works with that [07:43] Azhi_Dahaka: just read the howto from ubottu its pretty simple. [07:43] deception > i take it that didn't work then [07:43] ? [07:43] !at [07:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about at [07:43] !cron > Azhi_Dahaka [07:43] Azhi_Dahaka, please see my private message [07:43] is there such thing as inttab in ubuntu because i couldn't find any [07:43] or something that does the same as inittab? [07:44] anyone know a method of increasing volume in ubuntu, aside from the system's volume window, and the volume control on whatever's making the sound? [07:44] kingsofleon nope [07:44] traxx, let me try that [07:44] william56: alsamixer [07:44] already got that maxed out [07:44] umarzuki: rc.d [07:44] kingsofleon i did that command, it said something about autoconfig, and then i restarted gdm and im still seeing a black screen so i stopped gdm [07:44] what did you do beforehand in terms of installing drivers? [07:45] kingsofleon i did that command about dpkg-reconfigure, it said something about autoconfig, and then i restarted gdm and im still seeing a black screen so i stopped gdm [07:45] i have done nothing [07:45] ive just installed ubuntu [07:45] you need to install nvidea drivers first then do that command [07:45] 1) choose which drivers to install [07:45] 2) install the drivers [07:45] 3) do the command I gave you [07:45] william56: does muting it in alsamixer have any effect at all? [07:45] umarzuki: update-rc.d to be more specific. Check out the man pages for it. [07:45] 4) reboot [07:45] traxx: yes [07:46] !pastebin [07:46] 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) [07:47] traxx, I tried with broadcast IP too [07:50] william56: i thought maybe your app might be using pulse instead [07:50] Kartagis: did that help? [07:51] traxx, no :( in my previous installation it used to work (gentoo), [07:51] awesome, thanks [07:51] My firefox is fubar, the back and forward button doesnt work, and the navigation bar stays on the first page typed in... [07:51] Kartagis: so it's an ubuntu box that's not waking up or not doing the wake up? [07:52] uninstall and re-install firefox? [07:52] traxx, exactly. i will now install gentoo in a vmware environment and try again [07:54] hi, how can I convert an eps to png? [07:54] hey gyus, I have som eprocess called mount.ntfs taking up a like 10-20% processor power all the time, what is this? [07:54] and control the size without interpolation [07:55] Laurenceb: gimp?

[07:55] Laurenceb: imagemacik [07:55] I used convert [07:55] yeah convert is from there [07:55] but its interpolating [07:56] eps is vector right?

[08:05] jim_p: should i be using UUID in fstab ? [08:05] jim_p: the last time i edited fstab it was hda .. not sda [08:06] bouma: no. avoid it at all costs. however, do use it if you swap disks in and out a lot [08:06] hi [08:06] so, I go to keyboard options and select uk, but it makes no difference [08:06] its still usa [08:06] jim_p: where does the name that i will see in gnome come from, ie the disk label ?

[08:34] nope [08:34] eg: my shell username is brez [08:34] needs to be brez because there's another user with "brett@shellhost" so it wont accept my pw :P [08:36] brez_: why dont you just ssh hostmane and let it propmt you for username and pass [08:36] that's what I'm doing :P [08:36] brez, perhaps that's the default user? [08:37] when I use putty on win it prompts me for username [08:37] try ssh brez@pc-IP === LSD|Ninj3 is now known as LSD|Ninja [08:37] on ubuntu it doesnt [08:38] yeah because ssh needs you to supply the exact one [08:38] or else it'll log in as root user if i'm not mistaken [08:38] seems as though I need to 'edit' my account name for it to be able to work :) [08:39] any way not to get it to root [08:40] Between a USB cord of 1ft to 8ft - how much am I going to lose on transfer speed??

I am having a problem with my syslog. It has grown so big that whenever I try to open it, it crashes my system. I tried sudo cat /dev/null > /var/log/syslog but am having the same problem. It there a another way for me to delete the syslog. [08:55] getyamindrit: THAT is audio on some intel P45 mobo which is not supported by the current ubuntu jernel [08:55] works really nice right off the Live CD even [08:55] brez_: thanks for the info. Simply $ ssh brez@server-IP won't do? [08:55] *kernel [08:55] jim_p cheese? [08:55] yeah it's not on this board howeer [08:56] it has alc1200 onboard I can look at the chip and see it :-/ [08:56] idefix: cheese is a program for using the webcam [08:56] no, it said unknown host ;) [08:56] getyamindrit: for full support of the P45 chipset, you need at least kernel 2.6.25. ubuntu 8.04 is on 2.6.24 [08:56] like Camorama Webcam viewer [08:56] monoglai ^ [08:56] mongolai ^ [08:56] idefix: cheese is an app in synaptic [08:56] ouch [08:56] idefix: don't know, never used Camorama [08:56] I was under the impression this is the lastest version? [08:57] jim_p mongolai well, it's quite certain my cam doesn't work because of the new ubuntu instal [08:57] I've never recompiled a kernel tbh it sounds scary [08:57] Does anyone know how to connect to a vsftpd server through SFTP protocol [08:57] cheese never works for my webcam either [08:57] getyamindrit: sorry mate :( you can use 8.10 beta or some other live cd distro on 2.6.25+ to verify it works [08:57] jim_p mongolai since it stopped giving a nice picture after it [08:57] it worked in other programs tho [08:57] can anyone recommend an IR receiver for an ubuntu HTPC. I want to be able to turn the pc on/off with a universal remote [08:57] meeeh [08:57] are you a sheep? [08:57] getyamindrit: it is hard to compile a kernel. just sit there and wait for 8.10. it has 2.6.27 [08:58] it's weird my speakers beep very faintly when I backspace too much [08:58] jim_p mongolai it just looks like there is some signal processing error [08:58] getyamindrit: i dont know why :P [08:58] it's not the onboard speaker lol [08:59] getyamindrit: i bet your bios beep is set to off but the soundcard is picking up line noise from the bus [08:59] meh I'll install the beta ver then I guess [08:59] jim_p will installing cheese change the way the webcam signal is processed? [08:59] thanks for your help jim_p [08:59] PoopinClumpin: that's probably the case [08:59] idefix: probably yes [09:00] I am trying to run a program called Shrinking Man Diet Tracker and I am getting the following error message: ImportError: No module named utils.iso8601 does anyone know what I could do to fix it?

[09:01] getyamindrit: ask in ubuntu+1 [09:01] it just seems weird, what in ubuntu is the acces port of hardware signal processing? [09:02] can you change things as IRQs and the whole rataplan in ubuntu? [09:02] jim_p I get a TV test image in cheese [09:03] hi..anyone can help me delete my overgrown syslog. when I try to open it, keeps crashing my system. [09:03] do I need to buy a new webcam? [09:03] idefix: do you get image from the camera [09:03] well the weird image I sent you [09:04] idefix: no. it may be some module missing but since the gentoo wiki that tells all in detail is out, i cant find the module === Starnestommy is now known as chicken [09:04] how long do we have to wait jim_p? [09:05] idefix: dunno. it has been like so all weekend [09:06] idefix: is there a quickam module loaded?

[09:08] hi all [09:09] what is so it is? [09:09] the pastebin, what did you conclude? [09:10] idefix: that the proper module IS loaded. but the camera scrambles output [09:10] am a bit confused as am a novice with this OS [09:10] are modules like processes running in your CPU which request interrupts? [09:11] guys where do i find java installed in my file system i meant in which directory ? [09:11] idefix: module == driver [09:11] idefix: you mean driver modules? then yes [09:12] idefix modules are basically subroutines.

Can I have ubuntu's grub detect the debian entries too so I can boot into any of them?

[13:39] defrysk: i prefer checkinstall and sompiling from installing an rpm ugly thing [13:39] greensun: i think you were asked to type "cd Desktop" now. [13:39] greensun: although i suggest you type "cd ~/Desktop" instead [13:39] jim_p: I agree [13:39] i did [13:39] greensun: then, you were asked to type "ls" [13:39] greensun: you did what [13:39] jim_p, never tryed checkinstall [13:40] and it changed [13:40] ? [13:40] thanks ikonia. my network is getting confused whether to use the ubuntu DNS or my ISPs. i'd only like to use it with local IPs (e.g. 192.168.0.4 --> sandbox.local). is this possible? [13:40] the_lost_one: i have tried it a LOT recently [13:40] or should i disabled ubuntu's DNS? [13:40] greensun: it is very frustrating trying to help you when you dont answer us and when you are not clear with your answers [13:40] jim_p, thank's i'll try it :) [13:40] greensun: anyway, you can't type filenames containing spaces like that. type gnome-open New then hit the TAB key. [13:41] ok [13:41] i am trying [13:41] * defrysk lacks patience and respects the patient ones big time [13:42] jim_p : what does checkinstall do [13:42] serene: checkinstall makes a .deb file from the source code [13:42] !info checkinstall | serene [13:42] serene: checkinstall (source: checkinstall): installation tracker. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.1-5ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 113 kB, installed size 548 kB [13:42] thanks all who help me it did work [13:43] serene: run checkinstall instead of make install and you get a .deb for personal usage [13:43] serene: "apt-cache show checkinstall" will give you a longer description of it. that works for all packages. [13:43] greensun: it could have worked 10 minutes ago, if you had answered our questions as asked. still, cheers. [13:43] any advice whether i can use DNS to resolve just local IPs? currently other PCs on the network sporadically get confused when trying to browse to external websites [13:43] * IdleOne gives LjjjL ikonia defrysk a cookie each [13:44] samam31 [13:44] !botsnack [13:44] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [13:44] sam__: /nick samam31 [13:44] kulfi: sorry, i didn't get you. you want a DNS server that *only* resolves local IPs? [13:45] LjjL. yes, i'd like to set up a sandbox server, and browse to http://sandbox.local from other PCs [13:45] I have 2 wifi cards. one of them is internal and the other is USB external.

[13:49] when will the latest version of pidgin be released in the ubuntu repository?

[13:50] i'm guessing the confusion is due to multiple DNS servers (ubuntu and my ISP) [13:50] !medibuntu > sap [13:50] sap, please see my private message [13:50] sorry friends but i chanhed the name and it will not open again [13:51] kulfi: well you can most certainly install a dns server and tell it to not look up anything on higher-tier dns servers. i use "dnsmasq", which is relatively simple to configure... i use it as a dns cacher, but i guess it can do what you want if you just don't give it any dns addresses (and instead, put in a list of local addresses yourself) [13:51] kulfi: typing "apt-cache search dns server" will provide a lot of alternatives to that, though. some of them claims to be "small" or "lightweight", for what is worth. [13:51] yes i get that but now how do i remove the sources so i can then add the correct ones [13:51] kulfi, then you have a dns server in ubuntu and this one is used to resolve names by the rest of boxes?

[13:55] MuelleJ: converting .rpm to .deb is a bad idea in and of itself. changing the version of core system libraries is an idea that will invariably result in non-recoverable system breakage. [13:55] MuelleJ: there are several free backup solutions available in the ubuntu repositories, have you considered using them? [13:55] BlueEagle: I already found the source code on their site I will have a look at it [13:55] LjjjL, some things you just have to do. We use BackupExec at work. [13:55] pindakaas117: Read the link from ubottu for tips on compiling packages from source. :) [13:55] kulfi, ok, then you must configure in your dns server sandbox.local.com to the IP where its stored [13:55] i want to add a printer over the network [13:56] BlueEagle: thanks^^ [13:56] kulfi, or write sandbox.local in every hosts file of your boxes [13:56] greensun: Does the printer have a dedicated NIC or is it shared trough samba (windows sharing)? [13:56] the printer is a network printer [13:57] the_lost_one, i see, the clients' hosts files need to know where to find http://sandbox.local, w/o DNS the server can't do that [13:57] it it samba [13:57] kulfi, rigth === viviersf is now known as viviersf{gone} [13:58] !cups | greensun [13:58] greensun: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[14:00] scientus: what ? [14:00] or blank? [14:00] scientus: there is no standard root login under ubuntu [14:00] give root a password withot enabling the account [14:00] scientus: what are you talking about ? [14:00] scientus: err, i won't debate on merits, but why would you give it a password if you'd still be unable to login with it? [14:00] having a diff sudo passwd from regular passwd [14:00] scientus: you have sudo command [14:00] by giving root a passwd [14:01] scientus sudo is based on your user password [14:01] but it can be changed [14:01] scientus: you shoul enable root account first [14:01] scientus; you could add the user to admin group [14:01] scientus: sudo passwd root [14:01] scientus: you can change your own password yes, [14:01] scientus: I do not see any reason to do this, but setting the shell to /dev/null will disallow any shell based login (local and ssh) but you may open a can of worms if you allow root to log in trough ftp. [14:01] noo ftp, i use samba or ssh [14:01] ikonia: I think he knows that, but he wants the password used for login and the password used for sudo to be different. Probably because other people use his account, but he doesn't want to give them root access. My guess, anyway. [14:02] scientus: well samba there is no need for root login [14:02] no dpnt want to type in a long passwor to gain root [14:02] scientus: your not making any sense [14:02] scientus: Then I see no reason to define a root password tbh. [14:02] then i do 310 on /bin/su [14:02] Ah, or that. That makes sense, too, I guess. So you want a long password to increase the security of SSH, but a short password for sudo to make it more convenient? [14:02] hi, I'm not sure of which FS to use with my new Ubuntu installation... Does anybody know good benchmarks, tests, experiences? [14:02] scientus: you could also use an entirely different solution, i think [14:03] scientus: 310 ??? [14:03] scientus: type "man sudoers" and search for "runaspw" [14:03] i specify exactally who can run su [14:03] scientus su isn't needed [14:03] scientus: it doesn't matter who can run it if they don't know the password [14:03] scientus: why would you use su? [14:04] well befor it was log in as someone else then su to real user [14:04] but i dont like that [14:04] i am on a network i want to be able to view other desktop how do i do that [14:04] axel_s: ext3 : compromise between stability and performance [14:04] scientus, if you want a root shell, you just type "sudo -i" [14:04] so i need to give my real user a tough password [14:04] scientus: your not making any sense at all [14:04] !vnc | greensun [14:04] greensun: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.

[14:29] serene: just apt-get install it [14:29] greensun: what network? +tilt+ [14:29] raytruz: Basically any commands you run in the shell script you use "command >> /path/to/saved/file" which will save the output to a file. Any more complicated like changing filenames and all that get a bitbeyond my knowledge [14:29] serene: Most software can be found in the package repositories, have you tried looking there before using alien (or even trying to install alien)? [14:29] hmmm no i need to build it using source code [14:29] i see the computer but i do not see a thing in there [14:29] greensun: try smb:// in the address bar of your file browser [14:29] *compile alien*? is there any limit to absurdity? [14:29] Aberrant: yeah, but it seems like there is some output that makes it to the terminal that doesn't get written to the file, but I'm going to try that again. [14:29] pls can nayone say me the steps ( since its perl script i need to know how to build it) [14:29] LjjjL: i wish they'd remove alien so very much [14:29] Aberrant: maybe it will catch everything I need to debug this script [14:30] ah, talking about samba?

You can use "sudo -k" to revoke permission like I want but it only applies to the CLI, and has no effect on starting admin tools via the gui. [15:42] lacrymology: xubuntu is meant for low-end and old systems.. [15:43] oh i have a question which one is better kubuntu or ubuntu?

When I played with Red Hat way-back-when, it would display a key icon on the panel when you had root privileges.

[16:06] * mr_lou is getting tired of his locale issue [16:06] fu210gura: to find out running this command in a terminal often helps: lspci |grep wireless [16:07] javierg: well, I think if you change the default session to FAILSAFE terminal, that should give you what you want [16:07] Vi1: Very often in /bin, /usr/bin and /opt/ [16:07] Olá, bom dia [16:07] gaelf1, Sweet. I will try that. [16:07] Vi1: However most programs install themselves in the default path so you can invoke them by just typing the name of the command in a terminal or in the run-dialog.

You do this most easily by running a dhcp server. Since you also want to forward network information I suggest you have a look at dnsmasq. [16:26] Decepticon: Go System->Admin->sw sources [16:26] i dont have a gui [16:26] nassty: It can both provide dns information and forward network traffic for you. [16:26] Thanks, BlueEagle and defrysk [16:26] Decepticon: you'll need to check some box. which one - ull have to find out [16:27] Spudz i dont have a gui [16:27] couldnt find package [16:27] and i dont think my internet is working [16:27] is quanta also wysiwyg ?

[16:32] * jameswf not bothered by bugs, but annoyed by mass updated [16:32] *updates [16:32] jameswf:it's better to wait [16:32] xeiter: What might be the case is that the directory is located some place where www-data cannot access it due to restrictions in php safe mode or apache document root. [16:32] thomasite: None of the above. KompoZer is in the Ubuntu repositories. [16:32] hola [16:33] BlueEagle, is there a way to change the permsission to soemthin more open - just for testing ?

[16:34] oh.. maybe he was away [16:34] apt-get cock [16:34] xeiter: You change permissions with chmod, but it should not be required. Where do you move the files after they are uploaded? [16:34] he's my friend [16:34] no i have been through 3 dist upgrades this round I am going clean, dist-upgrades are he** on the os [16:34] BlueEagle, the files are placed into /var/www/uploads. They do indeed get placed in there but their permissions are -rw--------. [16:35] jameswf: then , good luck ;) [16:35] how do I get the list of installed packages? [16:35] jameswf:when i order the 8.10 cd, it will be a clean install, right now i did upgrade. [16:35] xeiter: Then you should be able to refer to those files as /uploads/filename.ext [16:35] BlueEagle, I then have my script move the uploaded files from /var/www/uploads into /var/www/uploads/processed and thast when it fails. I assuem due to permissions [16:36] i'm never going to have an ubuntu that is more than 6 months old, :) [16:36] freebsd_fan, how long u using ubuntu?

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 [17:11] Decepticon, it seems that your eth0 is not configured, contact me via boniemx@gmail.com for more info now [17:11] cabrioleur in ifconfig -a, i can see inet6 addr: fe80::206:5bff:fea4:c5c3/64 [17:11] KillerJinn, any multi-protocol tool: pidgin, kopete, empathy etc. [17:11] crdlb, :) there has to be a simple way to get a window moved to TV (e.g. rightclick -> send to TV) [17:11] easy ok [17:11] cabrioleur: no dice [17:11] im trying to connect to the ubuntu computer via ssh, and im getting connection refused [17:11] since recent kernel upgrade, i'm getting the SYSTEM BEEP for some stuff, like hitting the backspace key too much. i remember 1+ year ago, i killed this system beep for when i was in the terminal. terminal's still quiet, but this thing's developed in non terminal apps. what's the solution? [17:12] GaMbi_DK: no, if they're on different screens, that cannot happen [17:12] cabrioleur: i should have mentioned, hardy STARTS to boot, but hangs [17:12] anewson, at what point, and what errors? [17:12] Deception, can u ping that machine ? [17:12] jamiejackson, i disabled the pcspeaker by putting the pcspkr module in the blacklist [17:12] crdlb, so my only option at this point is to open the movie on my TV? [17:12] k, looking into that, anders__ [17:12] cabrioleur: unfortunately i can't save any of the logs, but it starts saying some stuff about the sd devices [17:13] hi [17:13] jamiejackson, i ripped it out, but the PC didn't work to well after that :D [17:13] cabrioleur: Attached SCSI something to sd1, sd2, etc [17:13] anewson, is your computer right next to you? [17:13] !hi | nguyencong [17:13] nguyencong: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [17:13] cabrioleur: unfortunately it's this computer, i'm on the livecd now [17:13] i want [17:13] ..... [17:13] ivangarcia i am getting a ping reply [17:14] decepticon try this, if anything it will give you more info on your dhcp .... Terminal -> Sudo dhclient [17:14] sorry [17:14] cabrioleur which one gives most features like webcam and voicechat? [17:14] anewson, I will try to recreate error you are heaving. [17:14] is there a specific shortcut to switch to, let's say Desktop 3 ? [17:14] Hmm. "sd1 sd2" should be something more like sdX1 sdX2 where X is a letter [17:14] looks like before, i solved the terminal beep with: set bell-style visible in /etc/inputrc, but will look into disabling it with blacklist [17:14] drandoss, i did it [17:14] genii: yeah it is, sorry that was a really rough recreated error message [17:14] KillerJinn, non of them supports webcam. Kopete does, but I don't think it works with yahoo yet. [17:14] is there a program which lets you switch windows/desktops in X by "sliding" them across the screen? [17:14] anders__: any adverse side effects that you can think of? [17:14] drandoss sudo dhclient says "wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801" and then it says a bunch of normal stuff [17:15] hi anewson [17:15] here's a link to my forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953322 [17:15] okay, this might be really simple... but it might not. [17:15] hi nguyencong [17:15] is there a specific shortcut to switch to, let's say Desktop 3 ? [17:15] nguyencong, have you got a question? [17:15] ok [17:15] you can ask it straight away [17:15] i'll just try "rmmod pcspkr" for a while. thx anders__ [17:16] the cursor displays up and to the left of where it actually is - in every desktop I've tried - fvwm, openbox, fluxbox, and now gnome [17:16] cabrioleur so i cant use webcam in yahoo. while useing linux? [17:16] which tells me something is wonky with either the video, or the touchpad detection. [17:16] maniheer, maybe he is just saying hi? ^^ [17:16] jamiejackson, you can simply go to system-preferences-sound and disable it in the last tab. [17:16] my question about ubuntu [17:16] maniheer, guess not :) [17:16] decepticon the last 3 on that list are good too see.... wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 is always there so dont worrie bout that. take a look at DHCPREQUEST [17:17] GaMbi_DK, LOOL [17:17] my english is very bad [17:17] KillerJinn, unfortunately, not yet. There are other options: skype, sip (ekiga), etc, but yahoo does not support linux platform.

[17:25] hmm [17:25] hmm, insteresing, well, then u'll have to download some .deb from another machine [17:25] and copy to ur ubuntu machine to install ssh [17:26] Decepticon: there's no reason why you would need SSH off the bat... unless you're trying to run it as a server... [17:26] nguyencong, we know that you dont speak english well.. we know you got a question about ubuntu... what is the question? [17:26] fair enough [17:26] cabrioleur: ahh i was changing the grub root (the hd0,1) [17:26] cabrioleur: i'll try that, brb [17:26] Decepticon: if your box doesn't run ssh-server, then it won't run as a host [17:27] kuthux what do you mean run as a host [17:27] I have a problem installing WIne, but I think I'm having a problem with my OS.

[17:38] ok ... where should I get the extra codecs? [17:38] lamine [17:38] it's in the repos... [17:38] Rocksheep: probably the first thing to do is to run a thorough memtest. Then try different video drivers (if using free, try the proprietary, or vice versa.) [17:38] InExile: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:38] sqawerlz: package index files corrupted, [17:38] :^) [17:39] mongolai, no runaways .. config swap? :S [17:39] pushnell, thx i am gonna try that now :O [17:39] cabrioleur, nope that's not the right one [17:39] decepticon we can rule out that the wlan card is having anything too do with it at least [17:39] kuthux, ok so how do i fix that?

[17:39] GaMbi_DK: what's top have to say about load average, mem use, swap use, and cpu use? [17:39] the indexes from where i;m trying to downlod are not corrupt.

[17:47] decepticon hmm, seeing alot of folks in the web with a simalar problem with dhcp setups like yours [17:48] really? i'd think it was the kernel [17:48] sqawerlz: unmet dependencies, [17:48] cabrioleur, not what it does. How do I make one [17:48] i mean, i can't mount my partitions even when i boot from the livecd [17:48] sqawerlz: now apt-get autoremove --purge [17:48] decepticon have you tryed some of the obvious stuff like a static ip? [17:48] seems like the same problem [17:48] drandoss, no i havent done that [17:48] mjk, symlink? it's like a shortcut on your file system. ln -s path/to/original /path/to/symlink [17:49] mongolai, I think Im gonna do a clean install of ubuntu.. guess I did some mistakes earlier... thx for trying tho :) [17:49] drandoss how do i do that [17:49] cabrioleur, right I remember learning about that. Thanks [17:49] decepticon k, head too Administration under system... go too Network Tools [17:49] sqawerlz: move /etc/apt/source.list.d/winehq.list to somewhere else [17:49] drandoss i dont have a gui [17:49] GaMbi_DK: np. Good luck. [17:49] sqawerlz: then update again and apt-get install wine [17:49] drandoss i dont have a gui because my vidoe card isnt supported, i was trying to get the drivers for it, but my awesome internet doesnt work [17:50] decepticon heh and the rabbit hole gets deeper. mm k [17:50] Decepticon, did you try vesa drivers? [17:50] cabrioleur i dont know how to do that [17:50] aaaarrrrgh. [17:50] how do I fix a mouse pointer that doesn't display correct? [17:50] it's off by like 75 pixels on any desktop manager I use [17:50] cabrioleur how do i tell it to use vesa drivers [17:51] RazorsKiss: i'm still not sure i get your problem [17:51] RazorsKiss: have u try another mice ? [17:51] yes, kuthux [17:51] how is the mouse always off by 75px? can't you just move the mouse on the mousepad? [17:51] RazorsKiss: and was it just the same ? [17:51] anewson, the mouse pointer displays 75 pixels up and to the left of the actual location [17:51] kuthux, correct. [17:52] kuthux, also in fvwm, openbox, fluxbox, and now gnome. [17:52] Decepticon, first you have to make backup "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup1" [17:52] RazorsKiss: interesting.. but there should be a calibration tool [17:52] kuthux, it is NOT the desktop manager - it's something in the core system. [17:52] kuthux, so I assumed :D [17:52] kuthux, no luck finding it yet. [17:53] kuthux, same error E: The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package binfmt-support. [17:53] RazorsKiss: i found something about tablet pc calibration, but it's not what we're looking for [17:53] Decepticon, now, "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [17:53] decepticon ok, we try this then auto iface eth0 inet dhcp [17:53] cabrioleur gotcha [17:53] anewson, the mouse pointer displays 75 pixels or so to the left and up of where it actually is, like, say, you go into the mouse options, and click "show position when ctrl is depressed" [17:54] enough time has passed i'm going to plug my problem again... hardy is misreading my partition table, and won't boot- check it out here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=953322 [17:54] when you do that, and hit ctrl - it's down and to the right of where the cursor is [17:54] drandoss, what lines do i want to replace with this [17:54] decepticon Then after that do : sudo ifup eth0 [17:54] it's really, really weird. [17:54] kuthux, I did sudo apt-get autoremove --purge and then moved the file you told me to, and ran sudo apt-get install wine but it is still saying E: The package index files are corrupted. No Filename: field for package binfmt-support. [17:54] RazorsKiss: ahhh i see [17:54] decepticon type as is [17:54] on the command line? [17:54] anewson, this is a very low-memory install [17:54] sqawerlz: have u update the list yet? [17:54] decepticon Yea on the command [17:54] RazorsKiss: that's bizzare [17:54] drandoss where do i write " auto iface eth0 inet dhcp" [17:55] anewson, but I'd still like to have a desktop that I can click on without guessing :D [17:55] drandoss that seeems like it should go in /etc/network/interafces [17:55] lol well your brain will probably adapt eventually [17:55] kuthux, i did try sudo apt-get update before running sudo apt-get install wine [17:55] anewson, I've eliminated the particular mouse/tyouchpad as the issue [17:55] anewson, it isn't gnome - it happens everywhere, in every desktop manager === x-punk is now known as mclure [17:55] sqawerlz: can u pastebin your sources.list ? [17:55] drandoss, my /etc/network/interfaces looks like this right now [17:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/60182/ [17:56] RazorsKiss: yeah..bizzare [17:56] anewson, it's something very, very weird. [17:56] anewson, it works fien in puppy [17:56] kuthux, yes just a minute [17:56] *fine [17:56] but, puppy can't find my wireless card [17:56] decepticon it just should ensure everything is auto dhcp [17:56] decepticon and the secound command sudo ifup eth0 [17:56] I am running the livecd and i tried to install wine but it says that there is no more space :S how can i install wine anyway ? I mean, I dididn't install anything else...it shouldn't be happening [17:56] makes me wanna slap my grandma - because this is like OS install attempt 12-13 at this point :D [17:56] hi i have a problem with playing video files, they are awfully slow processed, although i have nice laptop, i think it is because configuration of xorg.conf, because recently i used xfix, can you tell me how aaan i change it? [17:56] drandoss i still dont understand where you want me to stick "auto iface eth0 inet dhcp", this is a command? [17:57] or rather what should i write there? [17:57] _trying_ to find something other than windows that can use work. [17:57] .list [17:57] decepticon yea its a terminal command.. [17:57] *actually work [17:57] drandoss no sudo required for the 1st command? [17:57] decepticon uh you may need a sudo === kancerman is now known as kancerman[loungi [17:58] nobody have any ideas? :/ [17:58] decepticon try it and if it doesnt go through use a sudo ;) === kancerman[loungi is now known as k-man[lurko] [17:58] I am trying to listen to amarok and also use twinkle (soft phone) but for what ever reason if I am listenign to music in amarok twinkle can not access the sound card for the mic or the sound. Any idea why? [17:58] drandoss ... i did 'sudo auto iface eth0 inet dhcp' and it says 'sudo: auto: command not found" [17:58] that didnt seem like a command to me [17:58] * kuthux ninja rantaro \:D/ [17:59] decepticon mm [17:59] drandoss its very likely thats supposed to be put into /etc/network/interfaces === lmr[lunch] is now known as lmr [17:59] i just dont know what to replace or delete from my current /etc/network/interfaces file which looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/60182/ [18:00] Hello, I have used Ubuntu for quite some time now and about an hour ago installed it on this computer.

[18:01] sqawerlz: i'll check it out [18:01] kuthux, sorry I did the same thing and I got the same error as before about a dependency. [18:01] G__81: open synaptic, search flash, see which one you have installed... if you're using the free one, try the nonfree [18:01] drandoss, are you sure its to be added, does it not replace some line in /etc/network/interfaces... where do i put it in my file ( my file looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/60182/ ) [18:01] xjkx :-! try to make apt-clean.... or delete some file by hand in /var/apt/cache/archives [18:01] anewson, using the nonfree [18:01] xjkx /var/cache/apt/archives [18:02] anewson: then i'm not sure =/ sorry... you could try the free one [18:02] abchirk: you sure its the right path ? didnt work here [18:02] kuthux, http://paste.ubuntu.com/60184/ [18:02] oops, that was for G__81 [18:02] xjkx see last path ;) [18:02] I have many sequentially numbered pieces of a file a1.txt a2.txt a3.txt etc....how do i concatenate them?

[18:05] sqawerlz: if it's not on the current repo, then try another. [18:05] Can someone assist.. eth1 not showing up.. but i do see it loaded as e100 in lspci or dmesg.. Thanks.. [18:05] <[gloom]> Decepticon: yeah, just install the package ubuntu-desktop [18:05] sqawerlz: or u can remove the current libasound2, then update, and try to install again [18:06] has anyone had firefox refuse to start in hardy? [18:06] kuthux, I get what i need to do, im just not sure exactly how? [18:06] <[gloom]> smoovep: have you tried sudo ifconfig eth1 up? [18:06] well, a process starts, but i dont see anything on the desktop [18:06] MarkRichman: , it should, but you need to watch out for file2.txt being put in after file19.txt -- file02.txt and file19.txt would work right [18:06] MarkRichman, maybe something like.. for i in `find`; do cat $i >> ~/concatenated_files.txt; done [18:07] sqawerlz: before doing that, are u in an upgrade right now ( which required restart for some upgrade package) [18:07] MarkRichman, but can't have anything but text files to be concatenated in the directory where you run that command [18:07] hi [18:07] kuthux, no.

[18:09] kuthux, can i just run sudo apt-get remove libasound2 [18:09] sqawerlz, wait [18:09] i am having probelms deleting stuff from trash. They're big files (deleted from an external hard drive) and they are not located in ~./local/shared/trash or ~/.Trash and they are wasting a lot of drive space.

[20:01] <MrD1> Hi could any one tell me if i download the new version of ubuntu tomorrow will it update to the stable version in 10 days. or shuld i wait 10 days to install thanks in advance [20:02] <thiebaude> !ibex [20:02] <ubottu> Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, *NOT* #ubuntu [20:02] <Strife89> csilk: I believe that installing the (restricted) driver is that cause of the problem. [20:02] <erUSUL> MrD1: it will [20:02] <csilk> strig I see, in that case can't you un-install the driver? [20:02] <erUSUL> MrD1: it will upgrade to stable if you accept the proposed updates [20:03] <MarcC_> is it pretty easy to set up a home network of ubuntu machines that can talk to each other?

Note, recursive rm is *dangerous* -- don't mistype [20:05] <Strife89> csilk: I've been using Ubuntu for a while, so I was looking for "Restricted Drivers" insted. [20:05] <Falcons_roost> yes i have heard that [20:05] <csilk> symore_ubuntu, same why you would access any other folder [20:06] <Falcons_roost> I will try backend first [20:06] <soundray> anewso1: I don't think so -- I'd try to solve this kind of problem on the hardware front.

[20:31] <corp> in particular, i want to automate postfix install [20:31] <a1> anyone? [20:31] <Strife89> a1: It largely depends on the card. [20:31] <mongolai> corp: what is the method of postfix install. is it a dot ( . ) script? [20:32] <corp> apt-get install [20:32] <scientus_> i rebooted and it stills says stale nfs file handle [20:32] <Strife89> a1: The Wiki is a good place to look for hardware-specific information. [20:32] <scientus_> how do i just torch that file and remake it [20:32] <a1> Strife89: what card? [20:33] <mongolai> corp: are you talking about the Yes/No prompts ? [20:33] <a1> that on-borad? [20:33] <corp> mongolai: no - an interactive install that asks questions [20:33] <Strife89> a1: Both your USB wireless card and the one on your motherboard. [20:33] <a1> i don't get it [20:33] <unfev> wich installation cd should i use if i have: Intel Atom N270 processor? I have tryied the x86, i386 but it says i got i686 :( [20:34] <Strife89> a1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkDevices [20:34] <a1> i have tryed on the opions [20:34] <mongolai> corp: after the apt-get is successful, then? er, after the fetching part you mean? [20:34] <erUSUL> unfev: use 32 bit x86 [20:34] <Petengy> hi to all [20:34] <corp> mongolai: i want a shell script to automate postfix install. since it's an interactive install, i cant do that. [20:34] <corp> mongolai: try installing it, you'll see [20:34] <mongolai> corp: ok. just a minute... [20:35] <unfev> erUSUL: i have download it, but when im trying to install it it says stop.. and say that i have i686 and its have no support for it or something [20:35] <mongolai> corp: ...ok, the fetching was --- Ahhh, now I see... [20:36] <erUSUL> unfev: i think you have amd64 no 32 bit ... [20:36] <unfev> erUSUK okey [20:36] <rodhash> Hi there... it's my first time here... I found it amazing !! here all you talk about ubuntu issues ?? any topics ?? [20:36] <DaPapaSchlumpf> hey guys, i got a problem with my intel wifi link 5100, the drivers r installed, i can find my router via wicd network manager, but i cant connect, after 30-60seconds he just stops connecting while "Validating authentication", any solution? [20:37] <mongolai> corp: ...just a sec... [20:37] <corp> mongolai: cheers [20:37] <corp> i guess postfix does need some config up front. but i want to just specify 'no configuration' from the command line. [20:37] <unfev> erUSUL: cyou think so? because i just got Single Core processor :/ [20:38] <harryjr> hey, i only have a kubuntu install cd, but would like to just install a command line system, is that possible? [20:38] <mongolai> corp: ok. why do you need an auto install? [20:38] <corp> mongolai: because sysadmins automate installs on servers. [20:38] <aho_> does anyone know if the open source ati drivers (radeonHD or radeon) support hi def tv-out over component ? [20:39] <erUSUL> unfev: complining that you have i686 is something the amd64 installer will d if you try to install on a 32 bit propcessor like the atom [20:39] <mongolai> corp: are you deploying the same configuration to multiple machines, or different configurations to multiple machines for that matter? [20:39] <aho_> ahh [20:39] <aho_> I hate ati [20:39] <corp> mongolai: no config, yet. [20:39] <erUSUL> unfev: so check again that you indeed have the i386 version of the livecd/instaler === Chris_Britton is now known as strAlan [20:40] <mongolai> corp: I mean, what is your intention. If you just need one install, you can set it manually, if multiple same a script, or multiple different is a can of worms, if you get my meaning... [20:40] <the_lost_one> harryjr maybe using "custom" option when booting livecd? [20:41] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo [20:41] <corp> mongolai: i just want to know how to stop interactive packages from asking questions. [20:41] <Stupendoussteve> corp, install from source [20:42] <mongolai> corp: this is not a "package" issue -- it's an issue with the postfix install itself. Ostensibly an issue inherent to all postfix installs. [20:42] <corp> so are you guys telling me nobody ever automates postfix package install? [20:42] <ubuntu_todd> jrib: Hi. [20:42] <a1> Strife89> thanks. im reading about. but how do i disyble on-board card [20:43] <a1> First [20:43] <Stupendoussteve> a1, probably need to do that in the bios [20:43] <a1> oh no [20:43] <a1> i ahte that [20:43] <mongolai> corp: no, I'm not saying that, but I'm saying it is an issue that you probably need to take up with the postfix people. That's part of the reason why I asked if you need multiple different configurations, or multiple same configurations. It depends on how you intend to deploy this. [20:44] <littlewookie> hey anyone ever used the MARVELL SD8686 wlan chip??? [20:44] <histo> Having trouble getting windows to boot residing on a slave drive. Grub is pointed at hd(1,o) any ideas? Do I need to edit he boot.ini on the windows drive as well? [20:44] <Stupendoussteve> corp, if you download the .deb you may be able to see how it 's configured [20:44] <ActionParsnip> a1: why, just find the part that says onboard vga and set it to disabled or similar [20:44] <corp> Stupendoussteve: i do ahve the deb. i just wondered if there was a way to stop the configure phase with dpkg [20:44] <Strife89> a1: I really can't help you much more without looking at the hardware itself....... [20:44] <cjc> ????????? [20:44] <Strife89> a1: Just keep looking. [20:44] <mongolai> corp: no. that's what I mean by a postfix issue [20:44] <cjc> what a you say ?? === DaPapaSchlumpf is now known as DerPapaSchlumpf [20:45] <DerPapaSchlumpf> hey guys, i got a problem with my intel wifi link 5100, the drivers r installed, i can find my router via wicd network manager, but i cant connect, after 30-60seconds he just stops connecting while "Validating authentication", any solution? [20:45] <DiGiTaL> hi [20:45] <mongolai> corp: the .deb knows nothing about the mechanics of the actual configuration and install itself === j is now known as Guest32471 [20:46] <ActionParsnip> corp: isnt there a switch you can perform with dpkg [20:46] <corp> ActionParsnip: nope [20:46] <corp> not that i see [20:46] <piko_water> is there any vnc for the ubuntu ? [20:46] <symore_ubuntu> where do i change the location for the root www folder from var/www to another home folder [20:46] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | piko_water [20:46] <ubottu> piko_water: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.

[20:49] <DavidCanarias> Help copying a DVD video using VLC??? Anyone familiar with it?? [20:49] <DerPapaSchlumpf> laptop [20:49] <Strife89> I'm looking at the laptop list on the Wiki, and cannot find my model. Are there any Toshiba Satellite users around at the moment? [20:49] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: maybe a bios update or get better drivers. do you need a firmware in a particular place to make it work? [20:50] <cole> hi all, does anyone know if you can set a password to prevent opening of hidden folders/files? [20:50] <Strife89> My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite 1805-S254 (circa 2002) [20:50] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: dont worry about the model, its the hardware inside you have to worry about [20:50] <piko_water> well i dont need vnc server i need vnc client like ultra vnc, is there any similar application available for ubuntu [20:50] <claes> Anyone knows how to make ubuntu recognize USB disks before fstab is processed?

[20:51] <piko_water> claes, well its should automatically detect the usb disk when you plugin [20:51] <claes> I mean at boot time [20:51] <Strife89> ActionParsnip: The reason I'm asking is because I'm looking foe similar models' results (and therefore, similar - or even mostly the same - hardware). [20:51] <piko_water> i need vnc client like ultra vnc, is there any similar application available for ubuntu [20:51] <guntbert> piko_water: the simplest is vncviewer [20:51] <ActionParsnip> piko_water: search synaptic for vnc [20:51] <DerPapaSchlumpf> ActionParsnip i've dowloaded and installed these drivers: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=Downloads [20:51] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: which bit of hardware are you having issues with [20:52] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: are you using ndiswrapper? [20:52] <DerPapaSchlumpf> nope [20:52] <cole> actionparsnip how would i change the permissions for certain folders? [20:52] <ActionParsnip> cole: check out chmod [20:52] <JannoTT> Hey guys! Inside what package is assmbly thingy calld GAS? :/ [20:52] <DerPapaSchlumpf> but i've tried the ndiswrapper driver with wcid network manager [20:52] <cole> actionparsnip: kool thanx for that [20:52] <Strife89> ActionParsnip: Well, I'm not sure. I used the Wubi app to install *Xubuntu*, and at the end of the installation (and during all subsequent boots to Xubuntu), it simply quit. [20:53] <claes> My issue is this: I have a NTFS usb disk that needs to be mounted at boot time, but when fstab is processed, the disk has not yet been recognized by ubuntu - it sees it after fstab has been processed [20:53] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=619748 [20:53] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: ive never used wubi [20:53] <Strife89> ActionParsnip: With that said, I know I need to get a driver for a Wi-Fi PC-Card: a Microsoft MN-720. [20:53] <guntbert> cole: but mind; accress right have git nothing to do with "hidden folders", "hidden" in linux is just a question of convenience, not of security [20:53] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: i think its a horrific concept [20:54] <guntbert> *got [20:54] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: what does lspci say it is === alberto is now known as Guest23884 [20:54] <DerPapaSchlumpf> ActionParsnip: IPW3945 != WiFi 5000 series, some guys in other forums tried the drivers, it doesnt work [20:54] <Strife89> ActionParsnip: I'm not sure, and at the moment I can't look. [20:54] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: i know but it appears yuo need to blacklist the ipw3945 [20:54] <the_lost_one> symore_ubuntu see if you this file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [20:55] <|thunder> hey all, whats a good site I can upload a mp3 of a radio show too and put a flash player widget on a blog ? [20:55] <KillerJinn> how to check which kernel version iam runing now? [20:55] <aho_> |thunder: why the heck would you ask here ? [20:55] <aho_> KillerJinn: uname -r [20:55] <|thunder> KillerJinn; uname -r [20:55] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: well thats what counts. the brand and model means nothing, its the chip inside that counts which can very between countries and even time [20:55] <|thunder> aho_; cuz this chan is nerd deep [20:55] <ryanakca> Is there a command to background a process? ^z doesn't seem to work [20:55] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: did you blacklist the one thats bad? [20:55] <KillerJinn> aho_ |thunder thanks [20:55] <aho_> ryanakca: run it with & [20:55] <DerPapaSchlumpf> i'll try [20:56] <ryanakca> aho_: it's already running ;) [20:56] <guntbert> !ot | |thunder [20:56] <ubottu> |thunder: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:56] <Decepticon> bastid_raZor, are you there [20:56] <gambi> back from reboot.. WHY do I get those typing delays? this time the only thing I had running was a inactive terminal and Xchat... when I get this delay: Takes ½-1½ sec for characters to appear after typing.. cant type anything before the character is shown.. any ideas? (this is a clean installation of ubuntu 7.04) [20:56] <aho_> just leave it alone then [20:56] <aho_> haha [20:56] <Strife89> ActionParsnip: I'm rather busy, but I'll come back with my laptop running and supply details another day. :) [20:56] <ActionParsnip> DerPapaSchlumpf: i dont paste links for laughs theres usually a nugget of info someplace in the page [20:56] <ryanakca> aho_: doesn't help :) [20:56] <|thunder> guntbert; thanks, but a simple answer would have been much less distracting, lol [20:56] <FuriousGeorge> i just did this: dd if=/dev/sda | gzip -9 | ssh re.motecomputer.com "gzip -d -| dd of=/dev/sda" and it worked. (after a reboot on liveusb drive) i was able to assemble, rebuild, and mount my raid1 arrays, and see my lvm volumes on one of em [20:56] <ActionParsnip> Strife89: im sure someone will be able to help [20:56] <claes> anyone can help? (how to ensure ubuntu recognizes an usb disk before fstab is processed at boottime) [20:57] <a1> simple qustion. can i change the color of the folders? [20:57] <FuriousGeorge> so what else should i be doing? both computers are identical [20:57] <mongolai> ryanakca: bg (pid#) [20:57] <FuriousGeorge> i should delete the udev rule that has the MAC for the other computer's NIC (i guess they're not so identical), right? [20:57] <ryanakca> mongolai: thanks [20:57] <FuriousGeorge> or is the MAC address assigned on boot? [20:57] <Strife89> a1: System/ Preferences/ Appearence should have the option. [20:57] <FuriousGeorge> what about /dev? [20:57] <FuriousGeorge> leave it? [20:57] <errpast> how do I increase mp3 bit rate beyond 160 kbps with soundjuicer? [20:57] <a1> tnx [20:57] <ActionParsnip> claes: if the disks are visible in bios, ubuntu will see then. fstab will then automount the partitions as you specify [20:57] <mongolai> ryanakca: you also know that you can bg programs with the & char in a terminal? [20:58] <claes> I tried, but when I boot, I get an error about the /dev/sdb1 does not exist [20:58] <Strife89> a1: On the Themes tab, pick a theme to start with (or leave it alone) and then click on "Customize" near the bottom. [20:58] <node357> errpast, I don't know much about sound juicer, but can you use "variable bitrate" ? [20:58] <claes> if I then manually mount -a after login, the disk is there [20:58] <ActionParsnip> FuriousGeorge: its burned into the card when its manufactured, you can use /etc/network/interfaces to override it [20:58] <ryanakca> mongolai: sorry, I'm trying to suspend it, my bad [20:58] <xfm> csilk: I'm back. With my IAP, it's impossible to desactivate the WEP/WAP key.

[20:59] <ryanakca> mongolai: (^z doesn't work, and it's making X slow, so I'll resume it when I go to bed...) [20:59] <claes> that worked once, but at next boot, the disk was not recognized until after fstab was processed [20:59] <ryanakca> mongolai: grep :) [20:59] <csilk> xfm, well, I'm not really sure what your problem is [21:00] <mongolai> ryanakca: what was the cmd-line that cused this? [21:00] <xfm> csilk: but true. Quite a good IAP mm? [21:00] <mongolai> *caused [21:00] <ActionParsnip> claes: the disk will be recognised, you mean the partition [21:00] <node357> errpast, http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/05/how-to-rip-mp3-cd-using-sound-juicer-ubuntu-tips.html === nutella_ is now known as adac [21:00] <ryanakca> mongolai: grep -rin awordfrommyLUKSpassphrase ~/* ... would SIGSTOP be what I want?

Is it consuming resources? [21:02] <mongolai> ryanakca: neat [21:02] <claes> yes, I could do that, but then the next problem arises, I also have vmware server running, and it's services runs at startup and it needs those disks [21:03] <markw_> I've had a few times in ubuntu where it'd stop launching apps, recently (5 minutes ago), it stopped launching terminals. :( I'm thinking some background process is silently dying and killing off the desktop stuff, reboot :( or init single/exit fixes it. [21:03] * markw_ hates rebooting. [21:04] <claes> ActionParsnip: what I was thinking of, would it be possible to change the order of things while booting? [21:04] <Strife89> markw_: Does [Alt]+[F2] work? [21:04] <andycas> when installing gtk theme from appearance, it says it installed fine, but when i select the theme it goes back to very minimalistic and ugly. Whats wrong? [21:04] <mongolai> markw_: what does top have to say? Load avg. cpu% mem use? [21:04] <guntbert> markw_: what does 'top' tell? [21:04] <claes> like, see the partition, then fstab is processed [21:04] <guntbert> mongolai: :) [21:05] <mongolai> guntbert: what? [21:05] <xfm> csilk: perhap's if I remove the drivers and reinstall them? [21:05] <guntbert> mongolai: you beat me :) [21:05] <csilk> xfm, that would be the first port of call [21:05] <csilk> use synaptic [21:06] <mongolai> guntbert: :) I see it now! [21:06] <markw_> mongolai: everything looked normal. Strife89 yes, went to the first virtual terminal, and restarted services. [21:06] <markw_> didn't really have time to investigate it. [21:06] <markw_> I'm thinking it's got to do with hald. [21:07] <mongolai> andycas: sometimes theme files aren't properly made, and sometimes you need to go into the "customize" configuration and set the parts manually [21:07] <After_Math> what port does xchat run on? [21:08] <Decepticon> how do i stop X from starting over after i stop it [21:08] <guntbert> After_Math: try 'lsof -i |grep xchat' [21:08] <jspp_> LAL [21:08] <jspp_> LALALAL [21:09] <markw_> After_Math: it's going out, so it will pick a random port > 1024 [21:09] <mongolai> Decepticon: how are you calling X -- is it automatic, or are you calling startx or X or whatever? [21:09] <markw_> After_Math: generally irc defaults to 6667 [21:09] <Decepticon> mongolai it just starts up on reboot [21:10] <mongolai> Decepticon: that is probably a runlevel issue. Do you *not* want X to start? [21:10] <Zerothis> is there a vnc type server-client combination that lets the client switching between desktop users? [21:10] <CelticLord> nuit!! [21:10] <Decepticon> im trying to get out of 'low graphics mode' [21:10] <DerPapaSchlumpf> ActionParsnip i try the 2.6.27.2 kernel, i've heard they hv integrated drivers for my wlan-card, but thx fpr help [21:12] <mongolai> Decepticon: X usually starts on boot/reboot because is's told to for that runlevel. Is there an underlying problem that needs to be fixed, or do you just want to log into a plain CLI environment? [21:14] <Infernalord> Hello, could someone tell me how can I repair my MBR? I have grub installed but it wasn't correctly installed, then a friend of mine tried to use bootpart and now I can't start Linux, because it is not well configured. What should I do? [21:14] <thiebaude> mongolai:how do i just log into a CLI enviroment without starting x? [21:15] <thiebaude> !cli [21:15] <ubottu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [21:15] <family_> thiebaude, if you're at the GDM login screen you can press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and you can log in there [21:16] <thiebaude> ok thanks family_ [21:16] <family_> you're welcome [21:16] <mongolai> thiebaude: what family_ said works, but if you *don't* want X to start, you need to set the default runlevel [21:17] <genii> thiebaude: alt-f7 to get back to the gui login after that [21:17] <Decepticon> how do i reset x so its like it was on first install [21:17] <thiebaude> ok, genii [21:17] <scientus_> http://pastie.org/296551 [21:17] <scientus_> what is going on? [21:17] <thiebaude> genii:and i will use less resources then? [21:17] <scientus_> i cant open /etc/mtab but 'mount' shows stuff [21:17] <family_> yes thiebaude [21:17] <mongolai> Decepticon: I hate to say this, but it depends on what X did on the first install. [21:17] <scientus_> also its not mounted [21:18] <Decepticon> i dont want to reisnstall ubuntu [21:18] <Ab3L> good night [21:18] <guntbert> mongolai: I thought ubuntu doesn't follow the usual concept of runlevels [21:18] <ivangarcia> hi Ab3L [21:18] <thiebaude> brb [21:18] <erUSUL> mongolai: all runlevels in debian/linux are equal in debian/ubuntu by default (except 0,1 and 6 of course) and all run gdm (X). Btw ubuntu no longer has inittab file [21:18] <pyro> are there any software engineers around? [21:18] <pyro> or engineers period? [21:19] <genii> thiebaude: The gdm will be running if you just ctrl-alt-f1 so not really. Although you will not have loaded the desktop which consumes a fair bit of resources. So in that way yes. But X will still be running by way of the login manager stilll [21:19] <erUSUL> mongolai: debian/ubuntu* sorry [21:19] <ivangarcia> pyro: i am, why ? [21:19] <claes> there is a guide here to fix the MBR using your ubuntu live CD: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [21:20] <Infernalord> claes: Thank you very much [21:21] <symore_ubuntu> is my root /home/steve or just /steve ? [21:21] <mongolai> erUSUL: I admit, I'm not to familliar with the debian way. However, there is a script in the boot up sequence that determines when to start X. *That* is the question, and I was probably wrong with suggesting runlevels. [21:21] <symore_ubuntu> root for the user [21:21] <the_lost_one> symore_ubuntu best call it home [21:21] <genii> symore_ubuntu: It's /home/username so /home/steve in this case [21:21] <bosky101> hi, has anyone had success getting xvfb working on gutsy , i have the same problem as in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846061 [21:22] <Zerothis> symore_ubuntu: your home is "/home/steve" your root is "/" [21:22] <guntbert> symore_ubuntu: check yourself - type 'cd' then 'pwd' [21:22] <erUSUL> mongolai: yep but by default this script is called in all runlñevels that's the point i tried to make. you can off course configure it to not boot in any runlevel or pnly in the ones you want but as i said by default it run in all runlevels. [21:23] * MANIAKA7000 bye all! [21:23] <thiebaude> when i did ctrl+alt+f1 i couldn't open a program? [21:23] <erUSUL> mongolai: also as i mentioned there is inittab in ubuntu (now it uses upstart instead of classic system V init) [21:23] <erUSUL> !upstart [21:23] <ubottu> Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [21:24] <Dio445> thiebaude: that should open a full screen system console, not start a new program. [21:24] <symore_ubuntu> thanks i will soon be on my way to much better wondoz free environ [21:24] <thiebaude> oh, ok dio445 [21:25] <family_> thiebaude, if you want to launch a program by typing its name you press Alt+F2 [21:25] <mongolai> erUSUL: ok. that's interesting! I'm still looking into that stuff. GNU/Linux systems, Ubuntu in particular is a moving target that can be hard to track sometimes. That doesn't take away from my initial assertion though :) [21:25] <thiebaude> ok, family_ [21:25] <thiebaude> i got it [21:25] <thiebaude> :) [21:25] <Dio445> thiebaude: Oh, and ctrl-alt-f7 should bring back your desktop after a ctrl-alt-f1 [21:25] <Decepticon> "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" "Your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly.

[21:34] <ompaul> a1, you change the size of a folder by reducing that inside it [21:34] <Flannel> a1: What do you mean? the size of a folder is determined by the contents [21:35] <ompaul> movedx, cp .* target [21:35] <movedx> ompaul: AH, good call.

[21:40] <mongolai> Decepticon: I can't help you directly since I don't have an NVidia card, but perhaps if you posted something like " I have an NVidia (such and such card) what Xorg.conf configuration do I need" might yeild better results [21:40] <pippo_> ciao sono nuovo, qualcuno mi spiega un po come funziona [21:40] <thiebaude> !it [21:40] <ubottu> Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[21:41] <Decepticon> mongolai sure, i got a nvidia geforce fx 5200, but ive already installed the nvidia drivers, and the propetary things the taskbar told me to, now when i restart im being told im in low-graphics mode because my screen and gfx card cannot be detected. my gfx card is still the geforce fx 5200, but im using a TV as a screen via svideo out [21:41] <rockyrock> ubuntu doesn't mount my memory card, it mounted another one but didn't mount mine :( [21:42] <rockyrock> i'm sure that the problem isn't from my card reader [21:42] <SpinachHead> the problem is i cant run nvidia-glx or envyng because my cosole screen wont scroll. So i have to compile the kernel inteface [21:42] <rockyrock> because windows Xp can read the card [21:42] <Coeus82> hi, I want to install ubuntu alongside my windows installation. I was wondering, however, if I should use wubi or create a separate partition and install it there? [21:43] <SpinachHead> envyng has a huge text menu ad i cant make a chice [21:43] <mongolai> Decepticon: is there an issue when you use the regular vid-out on the card (vga, hdmi, or whatever it is? [21:43] <Decepticon> mongolai i dont use the regular video out because i dont have a monitor [21:43] <[TiZ]> Coeus82: If you use wubi, you won't be able to write to your windows partition. Use wubi to try it out, see if you like it. And if you do like it, do a dedicated partition install [21:43] <mongolai> Decepticon: so you *need* the svid then? [21:44] <Decepticon> mongolai pretty much [21:44] <Coeus82> ahh.. I'm already using Ubuntu on my laptop (I like it)... so I guess it's better for me to install it on a separate partition [21:44] <claes> toast: the last time I attempted that, I think vmware stronly warns you about booting a physical partition in vmware. but I just tried anyway, did not work. [21:44] <Decepticon> mongolai, im seeing the message about running in low graphics mode on the tv [21:44] <[TiZ]> Most definitely. [21:44] <SpinachHead> oh, looks like i need build-essential [21:44] <[TiZ]> I want to create a disk image to move some sensitive data onto, that way it would have to be mounted in order to access it.
