I'll double check with lspci actually [00:02] thanks [00:02] hsl: once you've done what it says, you should be able to continue the upgrade process by reissuing the same command you issued the first time :) [00:03] hsl: dpkg --configure -a maybe? [00:03] rww: it tells me there is no new release [00:03] LjL: yep exactly the same. Maybe I have a module loaded on the one that doesn't work that is conflicting. [00:03] jrib: I've tried to do DISPLAY=:0.0 vlc but still have the same error [00:03] so it thinks it's already 8.04 [00:03] Flannel you here [00:03] misc--: not a clue [00:04] Yuretsz: with the same user?

[00:05] stemount: i don't think your syslog would like that - at all [00:05] redwhitewaldo: since you just upgraded to 8.10, #ubuntu+1 should be able to help you. #ubuntu is only for 8.04 help :) [00:05] hello, all of my fonts are huge in gtk. is there a way to set them to be smaller?

[00:05] LjL: can you apt-get remove syslog? [00:05] or, how about a volume mounted as a tmpfs [00:05] jrib: Wait, I'll try [00:06] stemount: if you do that, i believe logs will be written without the aid of syslogd [00:06] stemount: a tmpfs should work [00:06] cool [00:06] thanks [00:06] does anyone know how to unmount a drive [00:06] i tried unmount but it isnt working [00:06] mudkip: sudo umount /dev/whatever [00:06] hsl: Looks like you got most of the way through the install. A sudo apt-get update, followed by sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, should do it [00:06] umount? i tried unmount [00:06] mudkip: umount. [00:06] oh...... [00:07] jrib: I've found a soluti.

It works for me on TTYs, but I assume it would work on ssh as well.

[00:28] hi does anyone know if it's "an ubuntu install" or "a ubuntu install" [00:28] witch ssh server did you recomend me ? [00:28] mudkip, a kernel is the core of the operating system. it is the lowest level to interact with hardware devices and provides support for memory management, etc.. it runs in its own 'layer' of the processor. when there is an error in the kernel, there is no fallback mechanism (unlike normal applications) so the only thing you can do is display debug information about the state of the system and freeze. this is a kernel panic [00:28] !ssh | ppn [00:28] ppn: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol.

[00:30] Randall: Nothing seems to have happened [00:30] mudkip, reboot. if it happens again then it is usually a bad module that you can try to blacklist from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist , if you can boot off a system rescue cd. if it still happens past that, then it could be a misconfigured kernel or bad hardware. you could file a bug report on launchpad.net and have somebody help you to diagnose it [00:30] seij0: if nothing happens it means it works right click on nm-applet and see if there is a wireless option [00:31] what about the documents i was working on in pico? [00:31] seij0: also run ndiswrapper -l and pastebin the output for me [00:31] Randal: Nope, nothing [00:31] err nano [00:31] mudkip, if you didnt save them, then those changes are gone [00:31] :( [00:31] mudkip, sorry :( [00:32]   have a question on how to get a Geforce4: MX 420 card to work on hardy.

Any idea what's going wrong? === Adrian_ is now known as Adrian [02:49] Logikos, exactly but far better [02:49] why do you need 3d, the most unuseful feature ever. [02:49] go_beep_yourself: permission denied? [02:49] alesan: I use expo and scale constantly. [02:49] scunizi: do i have to do that after i enable the driver from hardware drivers. Right now it says i don't appear to be using the nvidia x driver [02:49] Cycom-> Permission denied, please try again. [02:50] Randall, yes [02:50] Cycom: I am not sure what is that but - do you need that in a virtual machine? [02:50] roxan: so you have linux instaled and run windows in a vm ? does it have full access to all resources and perifials (usb ports etc) .. i know i had problems with ms virtual pc in that it couldnt see my flash drives for some reason [02:50] go_beep_yourself: there might be a setting in sshd.conf (or something) where remote login is disabled [02:50] do you need that so much that you dual boot for that? [02:50] Logikos, yes [02:50] scunizi: also would you know if i need nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-legacy [02:50] Logikos, you can access all usb devices [02:50] alesan: need? no. Want? yes. [02:50] !enter | roxan [02:51] roxan, please see my private message [02:51] go_beep_yourself: how are you connecting to the machine? [02:51] Randall, I've run nvidia-gls with a mx-440 just fine so maybe that one for yours. [02:51] umount /dev/sda1 [02:51] go_beep_yourself: like 'ssh ' from your linux box? [02:51] i am writting umount /dev/sda1 [02:51] roxan: all of my hdd's are ntfs ... i could clear my primary drive out and keep my data on the other drives so that way i can use whatever ubuntu prefers for a filesystem on it ... but will both ubuntu and windows from the vm be able to access the other ntfs drives efficently? [02:51] and he say device is busy [02:52] Hi I'm trying to change my startup sounds but they are not working, what do I do to get them to play? [02:52] Logikos: if you want to really use linux, I'd say dual boot, and force yourself to use it [02:52] scunizi: what is the exact command to check resolution settings and how do i change it in nvidia-settings [02:52] Logikos: or, if you have an extra machine, use that instead. Linux will run well on just about anything newer than 5 years old :) [02:52] Logikos, yes it can. with shared drive. but if you want to put vmware's virtual machine in ntfs partition nudge me for a little trick [02:53] Randall, once you enable the restricted driver then start nvidia settings it's graphical .. you'll see it [02:53] indra-> sudo fuser -k /dev/sda1 assuming that sda1 is not where your root / is [02:53] Logikos, trust me go for it. you wont regret [02:53] k [02:53] thx [02:53] Randall-> dont know if xdpyinfo would show it [02:53] know is work [02:54] scunizi: will it tell me i need to start in a "low-res" graphics mode because that's what happens everytime i try enabling the driver [02:54] Cycom: i used to put linux on my secondary pc ... and figured i'd learn it ... and i messed with it a little but ... i didnt disiplin myself enough to use it :\ [02:54] Randall, maybe.. [02:54] do the wavs have to be a certain length to be played on startup? [02:54] Logikos: basically, I put linux on my laptop and forced myself to use it for everything [02:55] Logikos: there were some times when I REALLY NEEDED WINDOWS because I had no idea what I was doing, but it turned out that I just learned how to do it in linux. [02:55] Logikos, if you want to use it use it. if you put in two pc you will never learn. [02:55] Logikos, i agree with cycom [02:55] Logikos, what things do you think that you won't be able to do easily in linux that you would have to do quickly in windows? [02:55] Logikos: gradually I noticed neat things along the way like I could mount network shares more easily, or surf the web without worrying so much about viruses, or have my mighty mouse's horizontal scroll work [02:56] Logikos: videos suddenly played without 10 different applications [02:56] Logikos, actioni speaks louder than words. if you want to discuss between windows and linux you will get old and the discussion will still conitnue. [02:56] Randall, yes, then sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [02:56] oieee [02:56] Logikos: I didn't need to buy software as often, and when I did, I got a lot more value for my money. [02:56] seaphor: yes to what? [02:56] awwww [02:57] then set your own ... [02:57] Cycom, you can always donate money you were going to waste on software to projects like olpc === dan_ is now known as dannybuntu [02:57] seaphor: but do u know if it will tell me it needs to start in a "low-res" mode after i restart the comp after enabling? [02:57] then set your own ... Randall [02:57] has anyone successfully configured ubuntu to allow vnc sessions to gdm [02:58] roxan: I use it to buy gas for my car instead :) [02:58] riz0n, didnt' get you [02:58] anyone know of a MIDlet emulator that works on linux? [02:58] ok here's what im trying to do.. im trying to set it up where i can use VNC to connect to gdm (a login window) and allow me to login to this server with any username or password on the system [02:58] Cycom, whatever you do its your money :P [02:59] i want this to also to be separate from the console xdm/gnome session [02:59] roxan: till I spend it. Or pay taxes on it. [02:59] Randal1, have you installed drivers from the nvidia site? [02:59] riz0n, there is remote loging opton but havn't tried it [02:59] riz0n: iirc gnome can't do more than one session [02:59] Cycom: yeah, i need to get there, i've messed with linux off and on alot ... but usualy used it to make servers ... rather than actualy useing it as a workstation ... for it to replace windows i need to use it as a worksation .. i can use firefox on linux, and openoffice ... and i hope to find other linux software to replace the other things i do... [02:59] Logikos: just get vmware on linux and run windows in a VM if the poop hits the fan [02:59] well normally there wont be anyone logged in from the console [02:59] Hey all. I am trying find a good opensource/free documentation software. any suggestions? [02:59] seaphor: no, I haven't no one has explained to me how really i've tried stuff read lots of wikis and community docs but nothing seems to work [03:00] Cycom, roxan: thank you both for your help [03:00] Logikos: good luck m8 [03:01] himuraWinMo: documentation software? [03:01] is there a way to set the screensaver to not activate when watching a flash video ? [03:01] Randal1, so yo have "tried" stuff, does that mean you have installed "stuff"? [03:01] How can I check if my dvd burner can burn dual layer dvd's ? [03:01] SeaPhor, Randal1 has an older mx420 card.. the newer driver won't neccessarily work for him [03:01] Logikos, see you soon on linux :P [03:02] riegersn, try it. [03:02] scunizi: i can give u info u need to help me because i am on a wireless right now i don't necesarrily want to restart [03:02] helo [03:02] riegersn, k3b is a better burner than brassero .. at least in my opinion [03:02] Hey all. I am trying find a good opensource/free documentation software. any suggestions? [03:02] Randal1, sure what kind of info? [03:03] scunizi, Randal1 may have installed a bunch of crap thats preventing him from being able to use his card effectively [03:03] scunizi, i don't have any dual layer dvd's right now but don't want to buy any if i can't use them [03:03] omong opo? [03:03] SeaPhor: prolly right so now it's really messed up [03:03] himuraWinMo: what sort of software? [03:03] SeaPhor, maybe.. I won't know how to fix that for Randal1 .. do you have the experience to do that? [03:03] scunizi: whatever info u need to figure out what is wrong [03:03] If my boot drive is 6.01 gig, how big should my swap file be? 321mB too small [03:04] i cant install my webcam [03:04] Fezzler1, its dependend on ram not boot drive [03:04] scunizi, Randal1 my suggestion is to to go to ground zero, and start fresh [03:04] Fezzler1: swap should be about 3x RAM [03:04] i manage a small team of network technicians. we use a custom web app for collecting customer info. you know, IP info, cdkeys, and etc. [03:04] Randal1, sounds like SeaPhor might be able to guide you better.. I wouldn't know where to start [03:04] flemota, so [03:04] scunizi, found it "cdrecord dev=/dev/hdb -prcap" [03:04] scunizi: thanks for trying :) [03:05] riegersn, ah so you're doing this from terminal? [03:05] himuraWinMo, redmine, mediawiki [03:05] SeaPhor: meaning how? [03:05] Randal1, np.. wish I could have helped more. [03:05] i would like to replace our current app with a searchable app that allows attachments and such. [03:05] my ubuntu dont detect the webcam [03:05] its Usb [03:05] Just got mediawiki installed today. what is redmine? [03:05] scunizi, im not "trying" to burn one now, just want a way to check if my burner can [03:06] flemota, run and see the output lsusb [03:06] is there a way to set the screensaver to not activate when watching a flash video ? [03:06] himuraWinMo, you can search [03:06] himuraWinMo, its like launchpad [03:06] flemota, webcam support is spotty.. there are so many different chipsets and very few linux based drivers. [03:06] SeaPhor: what do u mean go to ground zero? [03:06] how do i see my total ram? [03:06] lol. gotcha. searching is tough atm. WinMobile. [03:06] thanks for the info [03:06] Fezzler: you can type free [03:06] scunizi, Randal1 scunizi is more experienced than i, but i have found that with xorg issues, just start over [03:06] riegersn, ah.. k.. k3b might do that to. but via the gui [03:07] SeaPhor: so how would i go about doing that> [03:07] Fezzler: that will tell you total ram. then RAMx3=swap is a pretty good thing to go off of [03:07] sirjoebob, Fezzler1 3X is not always right [03:08] riz0n .. you are trying to get vnc .. whats the package name of the vnc software? [03:08] looks like I have 645164 ram, so my swamp file should be? [03:08] roxan: I always heard that 3x would be a good benchmark what do you think then? [03:08] hey all [03:08] my cdrom is broken and my latop can't boot from usb, is there a way to make grub boot from a usb cdrom? [03:08] my cdrom player* [03:08] sirjoebob, if you have 1 Gig of ram then 3Gig of swap would be nonsense [03:09] can vim 7.x be install as user instead of root in a linux box? [03:09] roxan, if you ever watch your swap usage you'll find that mostly it's not used .. unless you're doing a lot of video editing and intensive stuff like that. [03:09] scunizi, Randal1 boot from live cd, do a sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf and that will load theoriginal xorg that you had to start with [03:09] sirjoebob, also these days laptops come with 4 gig of ram then 12 gig of swap??? Fezzler1 can you ut -h option [03:09] scunizi, exactly then why waste disk space [03:09] SeaPhor: does it have to be a hardy live cd [03:10] SeaPhor, Randal1 close .. not quite.. [03:10] roxan: true. good point. i started out working on older HW and that is why he told me to run that much SWAP. I have 2GB of RAM and don't run SWAP [03:10] Randal1, what are you on? [03:10] SeaPhor: I am using 8.04 hardy heron [03:10] Is there a way with the 8.04 install disk to not run the GUI installer? [03:10] riz0n ? [03:11] ut -h = command not found [03:11] T_D_H: The alternate cd [03:11] T_D_H; use the alternate cd to install [03:11] Randal1, then yeah, that would be best [03:11] Randal1, you have to mount the drive in the live cd to do that then you have to find the mount point to copy the xorg to. [03:12] SeaPhor: scunizi would it be better just to wait until Ibex is realeased and try again [03:12] node.net [03:12] Randal1, SeaPhor sometimes it's easier not to use the live cd.. just go to Places/File system and look in /etc/X11/ for an older copy.. If it was done automatically it will be dated.. just copy that back to xorg.conf [03:13] scunizi, that is true... [03:13] SeaPhor: scunizi would it be better just to wait until Ibex is realeased and try again [03:13] Xchat::hook_print('Join', sub { return Xchat::EAT_XCHAT if (lc Xchat::get_info('channel') eq '#ubuntu'); return Xchat::EAT_NONE; }); [03:14] Randal1, SeaPhor also you could just install ibex now since it's in RC and do the daily updates.. [03:14] how can i find out what gid=41 is? [03:14] scunizi: RC? [03:15] grep 41 /etc/group [03:15] Randal1, SeaPhor one thing to do on a reinstall is to make sure you create a seperate /home partition for all your date.. that way if you really mess things up and need to reinstall you can without loosing all your data.. I experienced that in the last week with a failed harddrive. [03:15] scunizi, that is true...and you can document it that way too [03:15] ok thanks for the help :) [03:15] Randal1, RC=release candidate.. it's the release just before the official release with most of the bugs worked out. [03:16] what tells me total ram? free -t? [03:17] for some reason, my apach2 httpd.conf file is empty, how can I do a clean reinstall of apache2 so it restores it to default? [03:17] Fezzler1, free -m [03:17] apt-get remove and install didnt work [03:18] hello [03:18] Is anyone here? [03:18] yes [03:18] !hello [03:18] Bangers, thats the ubuntu way [03:18] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:18] says 630 [03:18] Bangers, see apache2.conf [03:18] 360 [03:18] about this? how to use?

[03:19] lin what do you mean? [03:20] I probably have 640 - 2x256 and 1x 128 [03:20] so what should be my swap file? [03:20] Fezzler1, you mean ram? [03:20] SeaPhor, similar to what I followed the first time.. basically create a new partition and copy your data to it.. then change fstab to referance the new /home [03:20] yes [03:21] Fezzler1, try with 512 MB of swap [03:21] i have a disc with one scratch on it, it works just fine but I cant copy it, how and with what can i copy this disc ignoring the errors [03:21] Fezzler1, there is no hard and fast rule [03:21] !chinese [03:21] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [03:21] !chinese > lin [03:21] lin, please see my private message [03:22] scunizi, thanx again, i hope i wasn't stepping on your toes [03:22] SeaPhor, no not at all. === corelogik is now known as Corelogik [03:23] every once in a while, my laptop fan starts, even though I do not work on the laptop at all; "top" shows no suspicious background task. what could cause that? [03:24] zmonx, heat [03:24] zmonx, he is colling your laptop [03:24] zmonx: cpu temp? [03:24] zmonx, sounds normal [03:24] on login, I see: temp 55 C [03:24] (login via ssh) [03:24] zmonx, i would complain if he stops doing so [03:24] zmonx, if the laptop is on, it is using power and creating heat, if you are using it, it will create more heat [03:25] has anyone successfully set up a virtual box or whatever and installed msoffice? would anyone happen to know a super cool !virtualmsoffice linky thing? [03:25] it spins up about every 20 seconds; I understand it should spin once in a while, so I'm mainly looking on how to turn it down a bit. [03:26] ubuntuchicka, not with office but that should be trivial.. do you have windows installed in vbox? [03:26] zmonx, and if its a vista box,,, then you can bank on it using more than it should! [03:26] ubuntuchicka: i have vista with msoffice installed on this machine using virtualbox.... but you still need to have licenses for both the windows OS and the office suite [03:27] scunizi: i haven't done anything with a vbox ever. i just wanted a way to run msoffice so i could sync my winmo phone... i really don't know what i am talking about but i wanted to make sure i was googling in the right direction [03:28] SeaPhor: that's not a very great relief right now, but thanks. [03:28] is vbox separate from virtual machine? [03:28] ubuntuchicka, well.. you install vbox then install windows into vbox and activate windows.. then install office just like you normally would.. that easy. [03:28] hi all..the CTRL+S in my gedit doesn't save anymore, open the Find dialog, anybody knows how can i change it? [03:28] ubuntuchicka: what does msoffice have to do with a phone? [03:29] zmonx, sorry, not bashing windows, just being honest [03:29] ubuntuchicka, you could also use vmware.. same sort of thing [03:29] hi [03:29] installing and using vbox is very easy, same is probably so for vmware [03:29] !welcome | babaklinux [03:29] babaklinux: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. === scott is now known as Jadewolf [03:30] what command can format my floppy disk?

[03:30] hi guys [03:30] !ask | Corelogik [03:30] !ask | Corelogik [03:30] Corelogik: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [03:30] thanks scunizi! jmichaelx, i need to sync my contacts/calendar/tasks/etc preferably to outlook [03:30] scunizi: vmware is a windows running thingy? [03:30] Hi, do you guys know of a dvd encoding program in ubuntu? [03:30] Where's the best place to buy an Ubuntu Pre Installed system on a budget, Dell's sales support is clueless,.. [03:30] ubuntuchicka, just like vbox.. sort of .. same basic capability [03:31] jadewolf: DeVeDe [03:31] Corelogik, Dell is probably it.. order it direct from the website.. you need a link? [03:31] ubuntuchicka: i am not sure, but i would suspect that there is a chance that you could do the same thing with linux apps [03:31] No, thanks have the link,.. [03:31] what command can format my floppydisk? [03:32] scunizi: so would you recommend i check out vmware or vbox first? [03:32] babaklinux, type man fdisk into a terminal for instructions [03:32] is there a program or a command to ignore disc reading errors while burning? [03:32] what would you use a floppy disk for anyways? [03:32] The sales agent at Dell tried to tell me that the support packages they offer were for the DVD playback license,.. [03:32] ubuntuchicka: vbox; it's free and only distroys your disk image rarely [03:32] scunizi, i need the link. [03:32] ubuntuchicka, vmware is a little more straight forwared. but vbox offers a nice interface.. you have to get vbox from their site to get usb support [03:33] clockw0rk, thanks, I just had an event here at my house and want to encode the avi's to a dvd for giving out to the guests [03:33] jmichaelx: yeah, i have done tons of googling about how to sync with evolution but i am an accounting/finance major and i am going to need excel anyway [03:33] roxan, k.. just a sec [03:33] um...scary [03:33] roxan, http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/ubuntu?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&dgc=IR&cid=11973&lid=471885 [03:34] I'm going to need a laptop and a desktop I can dual head in about another month,... [03:34] ubuntuchicka: ok gotcha. i use virtualbox and found it to be very easy to use. vmware may be just as eay, i have no idea. if you use virtualbox, you will want to download the version from the website, in order to have usb support [03:34] time to retire the Mac's [03:34] when i install things and it gets to a debconf thing the computer always freezes after i try and click foward and when i reopen the window the info is gone [03:35] fabulous [03:35] fabu [03:35] I'm looking at about 1500 for both to start then upgrade to dual display, memory and HDD later [03:35] i am going to go check that out. thanks guys!

When i reinstalled my user account set up fine, but when I try to add two other accounts that were on the other partition its giveing me an error about the dir already existing. Can someone tell me how to fix that ? [03:37] alguno sabe como desinstalo el ubuntu de mi maquina?? quiero poner windows vista y me vino con esta garcha [03:37] iMac G5,.. no upgrading,... time to just get new machines [03:38] Seaphor, you have a page somewhere or just hang out here? [03:38] k [03:38] dVs--, because the user's directory already exists on home folder [03:38] how do i fix broken packages exactly? [03:38] upt1me: what do you mean who am i? i am just another ubuntu noob that's trying to learn more [03:38] roxan: correct how do i relink them ? [03:39] [03:39] one knows how to uninstall the ubuntu on my machine? I want to put Windows Vista [03:39] or what do i do ? [03:39] G'night all [03:39] marcos22 , run the install disc and reformat? [03:39] marcos22, go to ##windows for windows support [03:39] dVs--, ahmm go to the home partition rename all the folders that have the user name you were going to create and after creating just shift back [03:39] marcos22, theres windows KB on that [03:40] heh .. k .. [03:40] :/ [03:40] [03:40] but I said there was an error in the partition [03:40] how do i fix broken packages exactly? [03:40] where can see a list of everyting i can apt-get? [03:40] dVs--, there may be better way though [03:41] Randal1, what do you mean? [03:41] marcos22 , unless soemthings changed with Vista, delete the partition, repartition the drive, reformat, install windows, pray,.. [03:41] how ? [03:41] sleven, you can go to System/Admin/Synaptic package manager. [03:41] * Corelogik hasn't used Windows in 8 years,... [03:41] dVs--, if i ware you i would have done that. there may exists a better way of which i am unaware currently or isn't striking my mind [03:42] roxan: well this debconf thing came up and froze so i had to force quit the thing and it broke the pakage [03:42] oh ok .. naw thats simple enough .. i juust didnt think of it :( [03:42] hi all..the CTRL+S in my gedit doesn't save anymore, open the Find dialog, anybody knows how can i change it? [03:42] Randal1, wait [03:43] roxan? [03:43] i've already asked before, sorry...but i really have no idea what to do! [03:43] roxan: like the window goes blank [03:44] Anyone able to tell me how to set up a L.A.M.P.? [03:44] justin_, do you have desktop installed? [03:44] well it's on unslung [03:44] justin_, ?

Is there a way to put IE 6 + on Ubuntu? [03:47] justin__: rtorrent [03:47] igors, make them editable, and then I dunno, right click on the toolbar in gedit or something and change it back, and then make them uneditable [03:47] Elijah, you can use wine but there is firefox addon that can do the same [03:47] I'm was trying to get torrentflux to work, but i can't seem to get the web interface to work [03:47] God job! :D [03:47] justin_, to install LAMP open Synaptic package manager.. go to edit and choose Mark Packages by Task.. in there you'll be able to put a check mark next to LAMP and install. [03:48] k, when i update to ibex when it is released will it probably fix my driver issue with my video card also when i update do i need to specify during the update for it to update grub [03:48] Randal1, don't do update.. do a reinstall. [03:48] !ibex | Randal1 [03:48] Randal1: 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 [03:48] I need help setting up an mta to use my yahoo account to send email [03:48] I wish it were that easy, on here i could use synaptic but on the slug i can only use ipkg [03:48] scunizi: how would i do that? [03:49] <_2> roxan why did you call the bot on Randal1 ? [03:49] I just don't know how to set up mysql, or phpmyadmin to read php files I guess [03:49] Randal1, download the new iso and burn it.. put it in the cd rom and restart the machine.. on boot it will have an install button after getting to the gui [03:49] Question about running LAMP stack on Linux, after install is there a directory somewhere that serves as web root for url's a browser? [03:50] Corelogik, /var/www [03:50] scunizi: so don't do it through update manger? and i won't lose files or have to repartition? [03:50] <_2> Randal1 short answer to both of your questions. hopefully and shouldn't. [03:50] scunizi http://localhost/var/www ? [03:51] <_2> Randal1 just wait until the release date and use the update manager (assuming it's not broken.) [03:51] Randal1, if you currently have a seperate /home partition then no you won't if you don't format it as part of the install.. if your /home is part and parcel with your root directory now then you'll loose it unless you move it before installing. [03:51] i think it's /opt/share/www [03:51] Corelogik: /var/www/ is http://localhost/ [03:51] justin_, nope === Linuturk_ is now known as Linuturk [03:51] scunizi: ok [03:52] Corelogik: /var/www/index.html is http://localhost/index.html [03:52] I just built a computer off newegg and ordered all the parts and remembered I need a wifi card for it. Given Linux track record with wifi I was wondering if someone could suggest a card that would work well? [03:52] Flannel, so how would I enter that in a browser to test pages? on my Mac its http://localhost/ [03:52] Randal1, di you still need to fix the broken package? [03:52] blackvd: Try #ubuntu-offtopic [03:52] Flannel:ok thanks [03:52] also it freezes when i get to this "Debconf on randall-desktop" part on the installation of a package is there anyway to fix this [03:52] Corelogik, same [03:52] Corelogik: You'd put something into /var/www/ and then view it in http://localhost/ [03:52] roxan: yes [03:52] right I was accessing it on a different server than my own puter [03:52] ah gotcha, thanks [03:53] Randal1, i have bad memory and i couldn't remember but sudo dpkg --configure -a is the thing u need [03:53] <_2> !hardware > blackvd [03:53] blackvd, please see my private message [03:53] Randal1, maybe.. open synaptic and go to edit then choose Fix Broken Packages [03:54] do this command copy 1 in to the floppy ? dd if=/1 of=/dev/fd0 [03:54] <_2> babaklinux if file 1 exists in the pwd yes. [03:54] roxan: Does the firefox addon fvully emulate IE? [03:54] <_2> err i mean in / [03:54] <_2> sorry. [03:55] if i fix the package from recovery mode do i need an active internet? [03:55] Elijah, i think it does. can you search in the addons [03:55] Elijah, nothing fully emulates IE.. not even IE5lin [03:55] I have been trying to View this web page, but my friends tells me there's no way to View OCX under linux... but I wonder http://219.73.41.206:6081 <--- U guys know how to View this ? [03:55] Randal1, you can try without internet and come back to internet after it needs new thing [03:55] *ie4linux [03:56] actually i'll remove the pkg not sure how though [03:56] hi moi nguoi [03:56] I am in the field right now on my non-ubuntu compatible laptop, can anyone test this with a IE emulator in Ubuntu? http://oe.quickbooks.com/buy_now.cfm [03:56] the part it gets stuck on is "Debconf" === dreverri is now known as drev1 [03:56] <_2> babaklinux "if=" translates to "input file is" so it has to be a file (inode) at the address given. [03:56] IamSOG , looks like there somethign missing from the page, either some code or some kind of plugin [03:56] I am trying to make a decision for a company very far away [03:57] Randal1, did you tried dpkg --configure -a [03:57] The link will just say your browser is not compatible ... you need IE 6+ [03:57] Corelogik it's not missing, just need um.. OCX [03:57] can i do something to get the PID of the terminal i have open (say i ahev several open)? [03:58] roxan: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [03:58] Elijah, that's because it requires directx and probably some custom asp programming.. I go to several sites like that and as a result need windows installed in a VM. Makes me mad but not much to do about it. [03:58] <_2> babaklinux aslo the file will be writen "raw" to the "of=" which translates to "output file is" and in the example you gave the file /dev/fd0 is the "floppy disk device" [03:58] Randal1, try again after closing synaptic [03:58] Elijah , probably requires some srt of Active X control, thats specific to IE [03:58] #ubuntu-es #ubuntu-ar [03:58] I wish quickbooks online would just work in more bloody browsers than IE 6 [03:58] Randal1, then another process is doing it. ya close all synaptic, apt-get aptitude and all [03:59] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [03:59] scunizi: all i have open is update manager? and it won't really close [03:59] very annoying, how do i get rido fthat? [03:59] Randal1, that's what you need to close [03:59] Randal1, you can do killall -9 udpate-manager [03:59] Hmm, maybe I can just run their old version of quickbooks in Wine [04:00] sleven; either you need to use sudo or close some other program using your update manager .. synaptic or aptitude or apt-get [04:00] Is there any way to read .mkv tagging system in say nautilus ? [04:00] Elijah, remember win2k & pro don't need activation for installation in a vm [04:00] <_2> roxan OUCH -9 ? will plain killall not do it ? [04:01] _2 it can [04:01] scunizi: All they have is an upgrade disk and the OS boot drive just failed big time (loud noises), can't even buy Pro anymore can you? [04:02] no [04:02] <_2> roxan well good habit would be use as little force as you can to kill things, so they can clean up after themselves [04:02] scunizi: I did not know pro and 2000 didnt need activation in a VM though! Thank [04:02] Elijah , http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2571830&Sku=M17-7503&SRCCODE=WEBGOOSOFT&cm_mmc_o=7BBTkwCjC-p8ByplCjCabTwyKbywgfCjCmH4 [04:03] _2, well instead of saying do killall then again do killall -2 then angain dillall -10 then again killall -15 then finally killall -9 is better than to say do killall -9 atleast in irc [04:04] <_2> roxan i mean while it's true that sudo kill -9 -1 will indeed. close a stuck terminal. it is usually far more than you need. but i'll not debate it here. [04:04] _2, i agree with you. [04:04] Hey guys i got WINE and i reinstalled Counter Strike Source now twice! and everytime i join a gam or make one i get the error [04:04] Corelogik: thanks a bunch [04:04] !release [04:04] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [04:04] _2: I have a folder on my desktop to the name of sky and now I'm here baber@baber-desktop:~/Desktop$ but when I type this command dd if=/sky of=/dev/fd0 this error appear dd: opening `/sky': No such file or directory [04:05] Serevr is enforceing consistancy for this file [04:05] models/player/t_artic [04:05] babaklinux, that path would be ~/Desktop/sky [04:05] Elijah, that is win2kpro [04:06] <_2> babaklinux there is no /sky on your system. think about it. (path is the answer) [04:06] Elijah , you're welcome [04:07] roxan: now I'm here baber@baber-desktop:~/Desktop/sky$ but that error appear dd: opening `/sky': No such file or directory [04:07] is Ctrl-d bad close? like in python it has quit(), is that better or it doesnt matter? [04:07] <_2> babaklinux example. ls / | grep sky and also. ls ./ | grep sky [04:07] <_2> babaklinux incorrect path. [04:08] <_2> babaklinux path is the answer. you are telling it not to look in /home/baber/Desktop/ but rather in / they are not the same. [04:09] <_2> babaklinux also you don't use dd on directories. [04:09] <_2> fundamental error there also. [04:10] No suitable module for running kernel found. For Virtualbox-ose on ubuntu 8.10 2.6-24 [04:10] can someone help [04:10] or is it a bug? [04:10] I'm scanning in a bunch of old photos into F-Spot, but F-Spot change date doesn't actually save it to the file, so if I copy the pictures over to another computer the date is wrong... how can I physically change the date of these files, so that they appear in the right timeline? [04:10] <_2> Bit_Breaker maybe ask in #ubuntu+1 [04:11] Bit_Breaker, open synaptic package manager and search for virtualbox.. you'll see the guest kernel mods there.. pick the one that matches your kernel (highest number) and install [04:12] ahh. thank you scunizi [04:12] LL google a program called Mapivi.. much better manipulation of exif data and dates and such [04:12] Bit_Breaker, np [04:12] anybody could help me to set keyboard layouts ?? [04:13] in xubuntu 8.10 [04:13] tryed dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [04:13] madwho-> ask in #ubuntu+1 [04:13] ok thnx [04:13] hey i need help....what is the lost and found folder for? [04:14] <_2> madwho i thought it was console-data ? [04:14] _2: now what do I have to do? I have to copy iir_btld.img on flopy disk but it can not work [04:14] rm nevers asks if i really want to delete a file. is it permanently lost if i erase a file by mistake? [04:14] scunizi i386 vs generic? arent they the same? [04:14] sleven, yep [04:14] please xplain [04:14] any one know what the lost and found folder is? [04:14] scunizi: What is the shred program for then? [04:15] Bit_Breaker, your kernel will be listed as either generic or i386.. basically the same but the two files have to match [04:15] Elijah, shred? or shared? [04:15] ok i do uname -r but dont see difference [04:15] <_2> babaklinux cd ;find . -iname iir_btld.img -exec dd if='{}' of=/dev/fd0 \; [04:15] oops it generic [04:15] scunizi, thanks I'll give it a shot [04:15] sry [04:15] scunizi: Isn't there a shred or tear or something like program? [04:16] <_2> babaklinux you may need sudo also... i'll repost with sudo [04:16] <_2> babaklinux cd ;find . -iname iir_btld.img -exec sudo dd if='{}' of=/dev/fd0 \; [04:16] Elijah, for erasing things on the HD? [04:16] in the cli? Yes to erase [04:16] guys [04:16] Elijah-> yes there is shred, but you may have to install it if you dont have it [04:17] k, so upon startup "Starting Winbind daemon" fails how do i fix this? [04:17] I just got a dell laptop with ubuntu, and it doesn't detect my wireless... it was working great yesterday, today right now it dissappeared... like if i had no card... anyone had this issue? [04:17] Elijah, yea there are.. milspec in fact. overwrites with 0's 3+ times to insure .. but for the life of me I can't remember the name [04:17] also, how do i check my system for errors? [04:17] So what is Shred for if RM is there? [04:17] shred is a data destroyer [04:17] Elijah-> man shred please [04:17] Elijah, I have no idea.. never used it [04:17] It must mean the data can still be recovered if a RM command is used [04:17] <_2> shred is in coreutils [04:18] Elijah, could be [04:18] !undelete [04:18] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [04:18] but yes, use shred. [04:18] k, so upon startup "Starting Winbind daemon" fails how do i fix this? also how do i check my system for errors? [04:18] when you delete a file, the clusters it occupies are simply marked as free, but the data remains until the space is allocated to something else [04:18] Very nice! [04:19] Hello, there. [04:19] That is exactly the link I was looking for Flannel [04:19] shred destroys the data by zeroing out the space it occupied, or filling it with other data [04:19] Elijah, don't forget ~/.thumbnails pics of most everything [04:19] Could anyone help out? [04:19] Is 8.04 still lacking in support for ATI cards? [04:19] !ask | pureworld [04:19] pureworld: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:19] So sleven, there is still hope if you stop using your disk shortly after the RM comman was used! === cakey_ is now known as BaldursGate === BaldursGate is now known as cakey [04:20] I recently installed Hardy on my desktop of Quad Core 6600. [04:20] pureworld, congrats [04:20] ok [04:20] im back [04:20] thanx scunizi [04:20] Bit_Breaker, np :-) [04:21] When I see the cpu usage( like top) the cpu usage doesn't goes to full when I load bunch of programs. [04:21] thanks [04:21] pureworld, must be working nicely [04:21] is there a rm-command that asks for confirmation before deleting? [04:21] how do i remove unwanted versions from my menu.lst? [04:21] Is there any thing that i have to tune for mutiple core cpu? [04:21] or can i set it to? [04:21] sleven: man rm [04:21] k, so upon startup "Starting Winbind daemon" fails how do i fix this? also how do i check my system for errors? [04:21] sleven: but generally the -i option [04:22] Bit_Breaker, use a text editor [04:22] ok [04:22] sleven-> put a symlink for rm to rm -i [04:22] <_2> alias [04:23] <_2> you can't symlink an option. but you can alias them [04:23] sleven-> rather an alias [04:23] how do i check my system for errors? [04:23] How do i fix this? W: Failed to fetch http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/ubuntu/dists/feisty/screenlets/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [04:23] Bit_Breaker, you talking about older kernels? uninstall them from synaptic .. if you simply edit menu.lst then the drive space isn't freed [04:23] Randall: what type of errors? [04:23] where do i make the changes ? [04:23] r00t_, the error is pretty clear. [04:23] the url must be down. or something r00t_ [04:23] Randall, man fsck [04:23] cd vcs [04:24] Elijah: what is the disk in this scenario? my harddrive? [04:24] anyone know how to fix ati video flicker? I searched the forums and couldn't find anything that worked === TiMiDo is now known as kill-9 [04:24] <_2> Bit_Breaker grub menu ? [04:24] pixelated: for filesystem inconsistencies only [04:24] SegFaultAX: well errors in general...but particularly why winbind daemon dinblind fails on startup and why my driver for my video card won't work [04:24] yea [04:24] _2: excuse me what do this command ? cd ;find . -iname iir_btld.img -exec sudo dd if='{}' of=/dev/fd0 \; [04:24] yes [04:24] hey all I want to create my own web sit but what opensource program can I use and were is some good info on someone to learn? [04:24] <_2> Bit_Breaker removing the extra kernels should remove their entries in "/boot/grub/menu.lst" also [04:25] <_2> Bit_Breaker use the packagemanager [04:25] nick_: this is not the channel for that, try #django [04:25] ok thanks [04:25] symlink? [04:25] sleven: symbolic link [04:25] is ubuntu known for having issues with ati? [04:25] SegFaultAX: well errors in general...but particularly why winbind daemon dinblind fails on startup and why my driver for my video card won't work [04:26] _2: I confused I don't know what to do for solve this problem? [04:26] thanx 2 [04:26] trumpetmic, all things linux have issues with ati [04:26] scunizi: disappointing... so nvidia is the way eh? [04:27] trumpetmic, yep [04:27] anyone know where to find a good deal on a pcie nv card? [04:27] if my comp fails to start up right away and it takes it two to three times to load up is it the partition or the computer? [04:27] * trumpetmic hops on denver craigslist [04:27] trumpetmic: newegg.com [04:27] <_2> babaklinux did you run the command ? [04:27] thanks SegFaultAX [04:27] trumpetmic, tigerdirect [04:27] thanks scunizi [04:28] tigerdirect or newegg has good deals. [04:28] _2: this command ? cd ;find . -iname iir_btld.img -exec sudo dd if='{}' of=/dev/fd0 \; [04:28] baby-d: sounds like hardware failure [04:28] ok [04:28] <_2> babaklinux yes that command [04:28] thanks [04:28] SegFaultAX: well errors in general...but particularly why winbind daemon dinblind fails on startup and why my driver for my video card won't work [04:28] im new to running my own comp and this linnux stuff === kill-9 is now known as kil-9_ [04:28] _2: yes not error and go here root@baber-desktop:~# [04:28] thanks SegFaulttax === kil-9_ is now known as kill-9 [04:29] so is that why this lost and found folder appeared? [04:29] \\\\ [04:29] do i have to change menu,lst as well? [04:29] <_2> babaklinux surely you jest ? type exit, and try it without the sudo. [04:30] Bit_Breaker, no [04:30] Bit_Breaker: its always good to keep your grub menu in good order so you dont attempt to load a kernel that isnt installed [04:30] ok [04:30] how do i check for general errors on my system (not files) [04:31] SegFaultAX, if Bit_Breaker uninstalls unneeded kernels grub will automatically be updated to reflect that [04:31] <_2> Randall read the log file [04:31] ahh i see [04:31] this is absolutely cool [04:31] im never using window again [04:32] _2: I don't really understand it and i'm trying to fix certain problems === zero is now known as Guest64811 [04:32] scunizi: depends on how grub is configured, but in general, yes [04:32] lol.. i like this freedom .. its overwelming [04:32] < using ubuntu for 1 year now [04:32] Bit_Breaker: But You Haven't Seen How Great Windows 7 Is Going To Be. !!!. [04:32] <_2> Randall what problems? and is the on hardy or intreped ? [04:32] really? [04:32] it doesnt matter [04:33] ill wait and see .. were u ‌being sarcastic? [04:33] i have wubi, is there a way to make my wubi a full install of Ubuntu and make it my main OS [04:33] small question, has anyone tried the new live usb creator app in 8.10? [04:33] RyanPrior: ironically windows 7 is being developed by unix junkies [04:33] Freelancer86-> ask in #ubuntu+1 [04:33] lol@ Unix junkies [04:33] maybe it will work? [04:33] _2: It's on hardy (1) starting winblind daemon winblind fails on startup (2) driver for video card doesn't work [04:34] SegFaultAX: ironically the whole NT kernel was developed by unix junkies. But, if you wanna discuss it, love to take you to #ubuntu-offtopic or ##windows [04:34] _2: without sudo this message appear http://www.binpaste.com/v.php?id=edidr [04:34] can i make the wubi install my main OS? [04:35] _2: It's on hardy (1) starting winblind daemon winblind fails on startup (2) driver for video card doesn't work [04:35] <_2> Randall set the startup script for win to verbose and have it log the output to a file. as per the vidio chip/module that's out of my realm [04:35] uhh.. ok Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall. [04:35] but wait theres more [04:35] virtualbox-ose is already the newest version [04:35] Confused?

[04:41] how can i use netcat an dd to backup my Ubuntu box [04:41] Bit_Breaker: when i do that and restart it says it needs to load in "low-res mode" and messes my resolution up [04:41] where can i find new panel applets ? [04:41] _2: but when I openn floppy disk there is no file in it [04:41] i saw the new version of vlc player on windows, it looks much better than old one. How can i try to update my vlc on ubuntu? [04:42] <_2> babaklinux one other thing to remember. generally speaking, in linux "no error message" means "no error occured" [04:42] hmm.. [04:42] <_2> babaklinux i can't help what was in the .img file. but you did copy it to the disk. [04:43] chetnick , do sudo at-get reninstall vlc [04:43] or remove then install [04:43] _2: can you see this? http://ftp.sco.com/pub/openserver5/507/drivers/iir_507b/iir_readme.txt [04:43] <_2> babaklinux or at least to /dev/fd0 [04:44] actually i think it's sudo aptitude reinstall vlc [04:44] i have issues with Virtualbox -ose [04:44] hello [04:44] _2: did you see that? [04:44] <_2> babaklinux sure.

I have a shell account that i can use irssi with, but there is probblems with certain letters (i use swedish charters) anyone know how this is working ? [04:51] Tardis: change to UTF-8 [04:51] still looking for help with the intel 945's tv out capability- any assistence would be much appreciated [04:52] <_2> babaklinux that howto is very streight forward. (even though the author suggested formatting the floppy for no apparent reason) what exactly is the issue you are now having ? [04:52] Spets, shall i do this in irssi or my ssh client ? [04:53] Tardis: irrsi [04:53] _2: I want use that structure for make raid disk [04:53] Tardis: both. And screen if you're using it (start it with -U) [04:53] <_2> babaklinux and it's probably old seeing that it suggests floppy disk usage in a season that almost nothing uses floppies now.

[04:55] hey _2 [04:55] Spets: can you explain how to me as well as if there is conflicting packages which i will need to uninstall [04:55] any ideas for virtualbox troubles [04:56] Randall: depens on what you have installed. I think nvida-legacy will remove it for you [04:56] Spets: what happens is that when i enable it from hardware drivers and restart it tells me i need to run ubuntu in low-graphics mode [04:56] Bit_Breaker, have a pastbin of the terminal output when you run it? [04:56] Spets: what command do i run i terminal to make sure i have nvidia-legacy installed [04:56] Spets & Flannel: I am using SecPanel... So before i start irssi i shall type /SET term_type utf-8 ?

[05:03] i tried uninstalling wine but its still there in the applacations meu [05:03] theJKH: wine creates stupid entries in the home directory because it is stupid [05:03] theJKH: you need to purge the package (or "complete removal" in synaptic) [05:03] <_2> babaklinux that would be a script i made from the "howto" you posted. [05:03] Flannel: purging shan't remove those created home dir entries [05:04] thanks [05:04] will do pixel [05:04] bruenig: It'll remove the wine thing, but not the entries for the programs installed in wine [05:04] <_2> babaklinux if you ran that script it would do everything that you can do from the present system. including telling the next steps.

[05:05] Elijah: whats that? link [05:05] I just installed 8.10 on my 2,1 generation Macbook and the right click is now mapped to the down arrow instead of the right apple. Middle click is mapped to who knows what, when it should've been mapped to the enter key. I have right set to 108 and middle to 116, which worked fine as of 8.04...

[05:07] !ubuntero | Elijah [05:07] Elijah: To become an Ubuntero on Launchpad you need to sign the Code of Conduct. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto [05:07] www.launchpad.net [05:08] I just want to learn how to use everything FAST [05:08] lol@ elijah [05:08] I wouldn't mind paying some $$ since it is free anyhow [05:08] how to install chinese input [05:08] with great power come great reponsibilty [05:08] Flannel, HA! I am sorry but stupid questions like how swap I should configure and an answer of 2xRAM don't cut it [05:08] Linux is the way of the future [05:08] freetown: Please take offtopic discussions elsewhere. This is a support channel. [05:08] it takes time to become a foo master Elijah [05:08] sry [05:08] lol [05:09] Elijah, nothing that is really worth learning (tech wise) can be learnt fast [05:09] hi... [05:09] I still have issues, I can't even get my Sprint EVDO U727 modem to work with U buntu [05:09] Elijah: its accepting the code of conduct over at launchpad. But they make it so that its a quiz/puzzle [05:09] ok back to bug hunting then [05:09] Spets: No it's not. [05:09] So what did you guys do to become Ubuntero [05:09] Elijah: Have you tried intrepid? It has improved evdo support [05:09] Elijah: Read the link ubottu gave you. [05:09] Flannel: yeah, well... [05:09] we joined launchpad [05:09] and setup gpg keys [05:10] after that the world is yours [05:10] ok im off [05:10] greetings, how do I specify my monitor attributes? (manually, not detect) as it's not detecting correctly [05:10] Flannel - I glanced at it, its something about security and keys [05:11] I tried Screen resolution, but it's only allowing up to 800x600 [05:11] and offers no way to specify what monitor I have [05:11] Bit_Breaker: Right but there has to ba a way to speed up my learning process, I mean googling for things when I need them is great but ya know, kinda slow. [05:11] Maybe I should join a Linux Meetup group [05:12] Elijah: don't google, use help.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com/community/ [05:12] google them before you need them... [05:12] Ok, so the certification program I linked to is lame? [05:12] Elijah: That's offtopic. But certification generally isn't a way to learn. You might ask about it more in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:13] hi folks, I'm back after some time off to once again try and make my notebook's internal wireless see my wireless router like it used to...anyone who can help? And please don't tell me to google it or direct me to a wiki..tried them, doesn't change anything [05:13] Is there some reasoning behind why most of the default folders and files are lowercase then the "home/user/" are capitalized along with a few others? [05:14] DaveKong: the folders in home user? [05:14] Hey guys would counter stike source run in windows xp in a virtal machine [05:14] under ubuntu [05:14] and xp as guest [05:14] Flannel, home/someusername [05:15] like home/davekong [05:15] guess could just say the /home folders [05:15] Flannel: good point [05:15] DaveKong, the / dirs are lower case for historical reasons, the subfolders in the user directories are capitalized because it is 'proper' [05:17] guys... does anybody know how to disable the nautilus auto completion? also disable it on "alt+f2" feature? [05:17] theJKH: i wouldn't expect good performance, if it runs at all [05:18] theJKH, any program that runs in Windows XP will, as far as I know, run in XP within a virtual machine...the question would be how sluggish graphics intensive games like counter strike would be.... [05:18] I just couldnt get it to work in wine [05:18] and i wish i could of:( [05:18] pixelated, proper according to what standard? [05:18] Serevr is enforceing consistancy for this file error kept comign up [05:18] and coudldnt find a fi [05:18] proper english [05:18] fix [05:19] Geoffrey2: exactly, i'm pretty sure cs:s requires acceleration to be able to play, which VMs can't really provide [05:19] bugaloo: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts [05:19] dublpaws: trying... [05:19] dublpaws: then what? [05:20] pixelated, or in other words, who says that it is proper? [05:20] Daisuke_Ido, that, and keep in mind the vm/XP combo is putting extra layers between the game and the video card driver [05:20] dublpaws: I dont think it is a shortcut what I'm trying to do [05:20] Geoffrey2: yep. so in short, i don't even know if it WOULD work, let alone work well. [05:21] DaveKong, why are you DaveKong and not davekong? [05:21] pixelated: because it's irc and you can have pretty much any nick you want [05:22] pixleated, looks better to me... I was wondering if it is part of some naming standard of GNU/Linux or Human or something like that [05:22] how do i turn off compiz? [05:22] bugaloo: there's also $gconf-editor, which is like regedit [05:22] Daisuke_Ido, and given the choice the capitalization looks better and easier to rea [05:22] need help my mozilla crashes everytime I run a video on it [05:22] read [05:22] wireless apparently remains the great mystery of Ubuntu operating systems [05:22] dublpaws: I found it, but I couldn't find where to change a value to that [05:23] Geoffrey I know someone who has configured everything wirelessly [05:23] i've got a desktop and a laptop in the house both running wirelessly, no great mystery [05:23] certain chipsets are a pain,, but those are getting fewer with each release. [05:24] except when it doesn't work, and nobody seems to have an inkling of how to make it work.... [05:24] pixelated, programmers have naming standards often to make apps work better with each other and things easier to find stuff like that [05:24] Does anyone know what the highest file compression that is possible in linux? [05:24] pixelated, so I thought maybe it had to do with something like that [05:24] actually it is [05:24] Geoffrey2: most of the times when wireless cards don't work, they're from a crappy closed-source vendor who actively refuses to cooperate with efforts to write Linux wireless drivers. [05:24] Geoffrey first off make sure your wireless router and your modem are set up right what type of router? [05:25] g_, try bzip2 [05:25] pixelated, or if changing things might make apps try to install things in the wrong place if they use any of those folders [05:25] need help my mozilla crashes everytime I run a video on it [05:25] which is higher 7zip or Bzip2? [05:25] rww: not even with fwcutter? [05:25] i think freedesktop's standard calls for Desktop, Documents, etc. for compatibility between desktop environments [05:25] g_: bzip2 [05:26] rww, in my case...the wireless was working fine, had been working fine since Hardy came out, then all of a sudden one day stopped seeing anything...since then, all attempts on here to find out if my card's simply dead or if it's something I can fix have pretty much been met with total silence [05:27] check the hardware switch, is it seen by lspci, two places to start [05:29] it's a Dell Inspiron 6000....Broadcom BCM4311 [Airforce 54g) is what lspci detects it as....the Wi/Fi light is lit, and it shows up when I run ifconfig [05:30] hello all...where is the setting for ubuntu to use lilo/grub stored? [05:30] freetown, /boot/grub ? [05:31] depends specifically what your looking for [05:31] wlan0.....UP, BROADCAST, MULTICAST [05:31] there's a new update for hardy that was just released ? [05:31] Geoffrey2, did this happen after an update? [05:31] or some other event? [05:31] PeterBye, yes [05:31] csilk, i am not asking for the lcoation of grub configuratoin files. [05:31] I see one of the updates as linux-headers-2.6.24-21 but I already have that kernel [05:31] csilk, thank you for replying [05:32] Hi im having probs trying to get this .sh script working on a cron, it's not chmod'ing 777 the chat3.html file like it's supposed to heres the paste http://pastebin.com/d7b30dbf8 [05:32] PeterBye, they are just kernel security updates and a few minor bug fixes for thunderbird and gtk libs === cens0red is now known as DefamedPrawn [05:32] csilk, is there a place I can read about these updates before they are released ? [05:33] csilk, for example, did you know about them before they were released just now ? [05:33] freetown: what are you asking for? [05:33] PeterBye, not officially as far as I know, unless you follow the mailing list or talk with package maintainers and developers [05:33] i filed a bug guys [05:33] csilk, ok thanks man [05:34] Bit_Breaker, link/ [05:34] ? [05:34] csilk, actually, rather strange how it did happen.....on my laptop Ubuntu is suffering from the low resolution logon screen bug.....I tried switching to a plain login screen and found it went so far off my monitor that I couldn't even see the text boxes...somehow, after a lot of button hitting, I managed to get logged in, switched back to the Human interface, and restarted...from that moment on, the onboard wireless won't see any r [05:34] outer at all [05:34] seeya i have to get up for work in 3hrs [05:34] ok csilk [05:35] Geoffrey2, that's pretty strange, I know it' a lame suggestion but have you tried re-insatlling the kernel module /driver? [05:35] im having probs trying to get this .sh script working on a cron, it's not chmod'ing 777 the chat3.html file like it's supposed to heres the paste http://pastebin.com/d7b30dbf8 [05:35] Hey guys how di i gain ROOT access with useing file browser [05:35] csilk, how about completely reinstalling the operating system from the CD......did that, no change [05:35] so i can do stuf with root acess in the file browser [05:35] theJKH, terminal, sudo nautilus [05:36] LF|Irssi, did you try the chmod first the chown? [05:36] Geoffrey2, that's pretty extreme [05:36] Gnea, long story...need to install nvidia driver but whatever script dpkg is running is looking for lilo but i want grub and lilo is busted anyway...i've purged lilo right now... [05:36] the/then [05:36] LF|Irssi: and it's being run as root? [05:36] Gnea: yep [05:37] freetown: how are you installing the nvidia driver? from the website or from the supported ubuntu repository? [05:37] Thank you but i want to be able to get into my home folder [05:37] theJKH, you can [05:37] just navigate to it [05:37] /home/username [05:37] well its a crontab -e using root terminal [05:37] Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out? When I installed Ubuntu, I did not have to install a video card driver and the OS was able to run fine graphically, but then I decided to be a jackass and tried to choose a driver using the Screens and Graphics application..can anyone tell me how I might reverse this process??? [05:37] via synaptic...this ain't your normal ubuntu install too [05:37] Gnea, via synaptic...this ain't your normal ubuntu install too [05:37] doesnt show [05:37] jus the root folder [05:37] and like filesystem [05:38] LF|Irssi: what's the ls -l /opt/lampp/htdocs/chatlogs/chat3.html | awk '{print $1}' [05:38] freetown: what's abnormal about it?

When I installed Ubuntu, I did not have to install a video card driver and the OS was able to run fine graphically, but then I decided to be a jackass and tried to choose a driver using the Screens and Graphics application..can anyone tell me how I might reverse this process??? [05:39] Gnea: -rw------- [05:39] sweet nvm [05:39] how do i add a dir to my path? how do i do it permanently? [05:40] LF|Irssi: and if you chmod 777 from the commandline right now? is there some other program that's changing it to 600 like that? [05:40] csilk, I was getting nowhere, I figured if it was software related, given my limited linux experience, just letting the live CD blow away root and reinstall everything would probably be the least dangerous route to take [05:40] Gnea: not that im aware of, [05:41] Geoffrey2, if a re-install didnt work it must be an update / kernel module and kernel header version missmatch [05:41] Geoffrey2, update hardy then re-install the driver [05:41] LF|Irssi: well, i figure the /opt/lampp/ is in relation to some sort of program, so i'm figuring on dynamic content [05:41] Gnea: im assuming the cron is running as root since i did "crontab -e" in a root terminal [05:41] Gnea: it's Xampp for Linux [05:42] LF|Irssi: what is the result of: crontab -e -u root [05:42] how van erease cd with command? [05:42] is there any tool for cleaning out your linux machine [05:42] like of cache an d stuff [05:42] and tmp files [05:42] LF|Irssi: i'm sorry - crontab -l -u root [05:42] things that are useless but wont hurt computer if taken away [05:42] Gnea, 1) install on lvm which is also on a raid1. 2) /boot on another raid1. 3) installer stuffed lilo as my default option and I got a kernel panic after install. Worked around that by running LiveCD to get into the system and install grub on mbr. Finally boots up now but then after I tried installing the nvidia-glx-new package along with updates .. i ran into an error. THen realized /dev/md0 was not mount on /boot...wiped out contents [05:42] in /boot (oops) and then mounted md0 on /boot and tried running dpkg --configure -a as synaptic ordered [05:42] how do i add a dir to my path? how do i do it permanently? [05:42] there will be in 8.10 theJKH [05:42] csilk, ok, apt-get update and upgrade says everything is up to date, so I guess the next step is to reinstall the driver... [05:42] awsome! [05:43] Thank you! [05:43] Gnea: http://pastebin.com/d3d0189d5 [05:43] Is the update to it going to be easy? [05:43] to 8.10 [05:43] Will we just use the udate manage [05:43] yes [05:43] the "cleaner" in 8.10 is a joke. [05:43]  Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out? When I installed Ubuntu, I did not have to install a video card driver and the OS was able to run fine graphically, but then I decided to be a jackass and tried to choose a driver using the Screens and Graphics application..can anyone tell me how I might reverse this process??? [05:44] god forbid you have any packages installed manually from anywhere. if nothing else depends on them and they aren't in the repo, your software goes bye bye [05:44] LF|Irssi: hrm, perhaps it got put into your normal user's crontab, i don't see a single chmod entry there [05:44] i love the netbook remix ! =] [05:45] Gnea: the chat.sh is the script that sets the chmodding [05:45] theJKH: quickest thing to do is sudo apt-get clean (that will clear out all of the archived packages is /var/cache/apt) [05:45] anyone know of a command-line tool to switch gcc versions that can be invoked from the shell? [05:45] will it hurt it at all [05:45] anybody got a reccomendation for a small news reader ? [05:45] olike nothing will screw up will it? [05:45] how can erease cd in terminal? [05:45] !best | yell0w [05:45] GundamDudeX, what screens and grfx application? [05:45] yell0w: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:46] the absolute *worst* thing that would happen in that case is that if you had to reinstall a package, it would have to redownload it. [05:46] yell0w: Liferea is really good [05:46] LF|Irssi: take a look at the order you're doing this in - you're changing the mode, removing it, and then recreating it - when you recreate it, it's turning up as 0600 - you'll need to re-chmod it after you've recreated it. [05:46] histo: i'm not asking for best, just a few suggestions/reccs [05:46] csilk, just the one that is under Applications/Others/Screens and Graphics [05:46] thanks LF|Irssi [05:46] GundamDudeX, I've never seen that? [05:46] yw [05:47] csilk, oh..in that case....err.. [05:47] DoYouKnow-> why would you want to do such in a script? [05:47] GundamDudeX, is taht some ati/intel/nvidia specific app?

[05:58] n8tuser1, I don't see anything in ifconfig that says "status" but it doesn't have an address from the dhcp server [05:58] freetown: it's part of the package, so you'd have to take the package apart and grep through it to find out. alien can help with that.

[06:14] now what [06:14] bazhang_, have had this issue with flash 9 as well [06:14] bazhang_, programmer* [06:14] jcooke, how was flash installed [06:15] army12bc: okay, exit from that shel and try the sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro /home/eorge/Battlefield_2142-Razor1911_to_mount_on /dev/loop0 [06:15] shell? [06:15] jcooke, how about installing flashblock (FF plugin) [06:15] yes, when you're at a command line prompt like that in *nix, you're considered logged into a shell [06:15] bazhang_, downloaded the binary from adobe, not using apt, the one I installed with apt originally had the same issue [06:15] how exit shel? [06:15] Gnea, you miss a g there. [06:15] type exit, enter [06:15] bazhang_, it's most prone to occur with flash, but it happens in other instances as well [06:16] elpargo: thanks [06:16] bazhang_, for example sounds from pidgin will lock it if I have music playing, it's a conflict issue apparently [06:16] jcooke, well you may wish to wait a couple of days; flash works very well in next version :) [06:16] I didn't knew 2142 worked on linux, thanks for the hint :) [06:16] same command not found [06:16] bazhang_, I'm leaning towards it being a conflict issue with sound in gnome in general [06:16] army12bc: exit [06:16] bash: sudo: command not found [06:16] bazhang_, since I have the issue in other cases [06:16] done [06:17] jcooke, no such problems here with hardy or ibex (RC) [06:17] here is a weird one. i copleted the installation on tha laptop yesterday, and the very first thing i installed was flashplugin from the medibuntu repo, all done the proper apt-get way. however, running firefox as a normal user, and going in about:plugins tells me "No plugins installed" and i have no flash at all. running firefox as root shows the flash plugin in "about:config" and i do have flash then. what am i doing wrong? [06:17] with: perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: how do i fix this in ubuntu hardy? [06:17] Anyone available to help me with a Ubuntu Hardy network installation? [06:17] the overall problem is that flash sucks, and the people that own it don't give enough attention to the linux port. [06:17] bazhang_, Yeah, it appears to happen on all of our HP notebooks, I'm betting it's the audio driver, I may try and play with that. Thanks. [06:17] army12bc: okay, try this: mkdir tmp && mount -t loop /home/george/Battlefield_2142-Razor1911_to_mount_on tmp/ [06:18] mount: only root can do that [06:18] hello all. how do i use suspend to ram?

I am having an issue where as soon as the kernel loads, the keyboard dies... [06:19] quicksilver_, unless you are compiling them that shouldn't be an issue, what exactly is "problems" [06:20] army12bc: then you need to check the Battlefield filename and make sure to type the right one in [06:20] <_skeet_> I have looked on the forums and there are quite a few issues with reguard to this, but none seem to resolve the issue [06:20] <_skeet_> this is a PS/2 keyboard [06:20] I click on my pidgin icon... It loads (and sleeps in the processes)... But never actually opens. [06:20] u mean iso file? [06:20] The same thing happened with vmware... But I fixed that by re-running the config. [06:20] _skeet_: some more specifications on dell optiplex? like lspci or something [06:20] yes [06:20] <_skeet_> I have tried the apci=off noapic nolapic ndd=on [06:20] <_skeet_> no workie [06:21] I just haven't figured out how to redo pidgin. I think Id just have to uninstall it and reinstall it?

[06:21] <_skeet_> cant do the lspci command because the keeboard does not work [06:22] _skeet_, not even in the shell? [06:22] army12bc: okay, is this a game that you downloaded? [06:22] no [06:22] army12bc: you tried to mount to /tmp . that cannot work. choose another location to mount. make a new mountpoint like "mkdir /var/ [06:22] ortsvorsteher: no, he tried to mount to ~/tmp [06:22] elpargo: dunno! the thing is adobes installer does not istall because it cant find some dir [06:22] made iso cause friend borrowd cd [06:22] <_skeet_> nope, I was able to install by hitting the numb-lock key randomy at boot, but it does not seem to be working anymore [06:23] _skeet: are you using a usb mouse ?

[06:23] home/george/Battlefield_2142-Razor1911 [06:23] ortsvorsteher: it was never there - i never said /tmp, just tmp/ since it was obvious he was in his ~ already [06:23] elpargo: the one in the ubuntu repo has that only-root-can-use-me problem i said at first [06:23] <_skeet_> I am using a USB mouse, but I have also tried an adapter that converts it to PS/2 [06:24] interesting google seems to think rzr-2142.iso is related to torrent sites. [06:24] _skeet_: lspci please ... [06:24] <_skeet_> I have also looked in the BIOS and didnt see any settings on turning on legacy support [06:24] i know i used same filename lol [06:24] jim_p, ehh no you said it was from "medibuntu" [06:24] elpargo: hrm, i see that too [06:24] <_skeet_> jim_p: any ideas on how to get a shell to run that command? [06:24] army12bc, what are the odds of that! [06:24] purpose [06:25] _skeet_: do you have a true ps2 mouse anyware? [06:25] <_skeet_> Kattman: no I dont :( [06:25] elpargo: yes that problem comes from the medibuntu installation [06:25] army12bc: yeah, sorry, can't continue, we don't support warez in here. [06:25] here is a weird one. i copleted the installation on tha laptop yesterday, and the very first thing i installed was flashplugin from the medibuntu repo, all done the proper apt-get way. however, running firefox as a normal user, and going in about:plugins tells me "No plugins installed" and i have no flash at all. running firefox as root shows the flash plugin in "about:config" and i do have flash then. what am i doing wrong?

[06:25] Help someone Mozilla crashes on any video played [06:25] <_skeet_> I can try without the mouse at all..? [06:25] its not warz [06:25] hehe so you went to look for the name of the torrent to file to then name your image. [06:25] hi [06:25] _skeet_: are you on a live enviroment now? [06:25] jim_p, medibuntu is not ubuntu main repo. [06:25] army12bc: do not argue, you downloaded it from a bittorrent site, it's warez. [06:26] !warez | army12bc [06:26] army12bc: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [06:26] elpargo: well do you know another repo that hosts flashplugin? [06:26] w.e [06:26] <_skeet_> jim_p: I have tried both the live CD and the alternate CD [06:26] can anyone help? [06:26] jim_p, dude it's in the std dist. [06:26] _Skeet_: I have to have two mice pluged in. One is just a dummy. But it works for me [06:26] I want write an iso file on a blank cd in terminal but I don't know where is my cdrw how can I understand in which dev/? is my cdrw? [06:27] jim_p, in multiverse. [06:27] WebDawg: use the alternative cd, or use an option at boot [06:27] <_skeet_> might a older version of Ubuntu resolve the issue? It seems to me a kernel problem [06:27] what is the option. im looking through the prompts [06:27] i tried to google but nothing definitive came up. [06:27] babaklinux, there is a symlink call /dev/cdrom, unless you have 2 drives that should be it. [06:27] elpargo: is there i chance that apt grabbed the package from there? [06:28] WebDawg: damn i dont have a live cd near me. can you try the alternative one? [06:28] jim_p, open synaptic search for "flashplugin-nonfree" look at the properties, under Section it will tell you. [06:28] elpargo: sec [06:28] jim_p, didn't they merged into one a long time ago? [06:28] woohoo, wireless works again.. [06:29] dear god. [06:29] its gonna take 3 hours to download this [06:29] thier isnt a command line option for text mode? [06:30] elpargo: multiverse :| [06:30] elpargo: when I type this command dd if=OpenServer-5.0.7Hw-10Jun05_1800.iso of=/dev/cdrom ths error appear http://paste.ubuntu.com/63529/ [06:30] WebDawg: let me search [06:30] babaklinux: well you dont mount the iso that way :P [06:30] babaklinux, last I heard you can't dd a cdrom. [06:31] jim_p, he wants to burn it. [06:31] i see that the alternative has text mode. [06:31] elpargo: now how can I write iso on blank cd with dd command? [06:32] babaklinux, why not use cdrecord? [06:32] WebDawg: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/images/dualboot02.png is it something like this? [06:32] babaklinux if you would have written that question to google you would already have answer [06:32] yeh [06:32] Anyone here help with a question about hydrogen? Do I need to use a separate program to adjust the pitch of the beats? I see all this stuff about running hydrogen through JACK to do cool stuff. Is that the only way to use the sounds as instruments? [06:32] babaklinux http://www.slashdotdash.net/articles/2006/08/14/create-iso-cd-dvd-image-with-mac-os-x-tiger-10-4 [06:33] elpargo: is your mean this ? dd if=OpenServer-5.0.7Hw-10Jun05_1800.iso of=/dev/cdrecord [06:33] babaklinux, no a program call cdrecord [06:34] babaklinux hmmmz seems i failed [06:34] with link :P [06:34] use k3b [06:34] :P [06:34] you shouldn't be using dd if you are asking how it works, it can kill your drive if you use it wrong. [06:34] WebDawg: what do you get if you press f4? [06:34] babaklinux, ^^^ [06:34] dd is a great tool for what it is for != cd burning for too many reasons [06:34] WebDawg: or f6 [06:34] you can't use dd for burning cd's [06:34] elpargo: what? [06:35] normal, safe graphi, use driver update, and oem [06:35] you can use it ot make an ISO [06:35] which you can burn to cd [06:35] babaklinux, cdrecord is a thin layer on top of dd to do just that so use it. [06:35] no text mode anywhere [06:35] dd is for block devices [06:35] it looks like you NEED the alternate cd. [06:35] babaklinux, you shouldn't be using dd if you are asking how it works, it can kill your drive if you use it wrong. [06:35] dd does not make iso. it makes raw images [06:35] cd is not a block device [06:35] amason__: +1 [06:35] amason__, you can still use it. [06:35] WebDawg: wait. i must have an older 7.04 somewhere [06:36] jim_p: is there a way that I can bring up my 2nd ethernet interface and build a firewall in my current config ? [06:36] its cool [06:36] elpargo: can? yes. but you will not get the desired result [06:36] it will be done in 1 hr [06:36] but i got to sleep. [06:36] elpargo: you have to have an iso9660 image created with dd or somehting else. DD will treat you burner as a block device [06:36] jim_p: current config is isp modem router server new config is isp modem server router [06:37] im still here.. [06:37] paul68: sorry i dont know [06:37] ill wait till you acknowledge. [06:37] aight jim_p? [06:37] WebDawg: i am making an iso of the 7.04 [06:37] ok [06:37] elpargo: either way though your right its not the tool to use [06:37] im out [06:37] peace. [06:37] adelie42, amason__ you can do it, and get it right, but it's not the way of doing it. [06:37] jim_p: no problem if you would have known every question about linux your bank account would be a little bit more healthier I suppose :-) [06:37] specially if you are asking how dd works. [06:38] paul68: lmao! [06:38] elpargo: these is a whole suite of tools with cdrecord that let you do ANYTHING with a CD that is likely built on the same library as DD [06:39] elpargo: iirc you need to put the device into the correct mode before you can begin writing so you would need to issue those commands first otherwise the output of dd will try to be interpreted by the controller no ? [06:39] so no one has used the USB file from here http://releases.ubuntu.com/intrepid/ ? [06:40] im out [06:40] 4 real [06:40] !! [06:40] adelie42, correct cdrecord was build so you don't have to know the details. [06:41] elpargo: cdrecord uses the scsi bus. [06:42] amason__, good to know. [06:42] Hello All [06:42] Does anybody use truecrypt?? [06:42] liquid, for? [06:42] Is there any way to have two seperate LAN connections at once? Specifically, I want to be able to access one router for the internet, and a second router that I am experimenting with firmware on (but won't have a net connection) [06:42] hi, ever since I installed and set up compiz my icons on the desktop went away and sometimes flash or when I go over them with a the mouse they show up for a second. anyone know how I can fix it? [06:43] jim_p: is there a commandline to check which servers are currently running? [06:43] elpargo, In general, I know that on a windows box you can encrypt the whole drive asking for a password before booting but it doesnt seem to work with linux [06:43] paul68: servers where? [06:43] orange72_camaro, please ask in the compiz channel. [06:44] jim_p: my servers at home like dhcp dns and so on [06:44] is hydrogen only a beat generator, or can sounds be used as instruments? [06:44] TeslaTony: yes, with two network cards [06:44] TeslaTony, yes although it isn't simple. you will have to learn the internals of linux networking and probably get rid of network manager as it will get confused. [06:45] paul68: you can use nmap for a quick scan of your network. i suppose you know what ip refers to what pc [06:45] !nmap [06:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about nmap [06:45] SegFaultAX: Ausgezeichnet. My net connection is Wifi anyways. [06:45] elpargo, Is that something that can be done encrypting the whole driver [06:45] *drive [06:45] anybody know if tehres a way to custimizee the animation of the 3d gears ? [06:45] in compiz [06:45] liquid, of course, that tecnology was invented in linux :) [06:46] jim_p: I just want to know when I'm on my server which servers are currently running since i have them all on 1 machine? [06:46] elpargo, I was looking online but cant find anything im using the GUI [06:47] paul68: you mean if ftp server is on, dhcp is on etc? well... can you check the ports on that server? [06:47] jim_p: thats what I mean, if you tell me how I sure can [06:48] elpargo, I found this on a site.. system partition encryption with pre-boot authentication (Windows only), and improved performance. [06:48] hif i'm tryin to send emails from mydomain.com .... should i set up an A record of mail.mydomain.com or a cname record for mail.mydomain.com? or do i need to do anything like this? i want to send mail via postfix [06:49] Can some all knowing person please help me with something with ubottu config? [06:49] liquid, as far as I know this is really done at the kernel level. with tools like http://ecryptfs.sourceforge.net/ [06:49] I think I broke my install by deleting /home/user/tmp< now when i log in it says Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds...etc...how can I fix this? [06:49] http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ [06:49] elpargo, So truecrypt wouldnt do it [06:50] what is terminal command for run *.exe [06:50] arooni-mobile, that depends on how you have your DNS setup, is this your server? [06:51] just ask MTecknology [06:51] army12bc: you need wine to run an executable file....sudo aptitude install wine in a terminal....then try executing the file again. [06:51] liquid, I haven't used that solution, so I really don't know [06:51] elpargo, yes [06:51] i have wine ok [06:52] ..can i just mkdir tmp ? but what about permissions? [06:52] lol now how do i find the folder i mounted in lol [06:52] Hey everybody! Can someone help me rdp into my ubuntu server? [06:52] I made a new tmp but it still wont login [06:52] Robb_M: I'm trying to use the PackageInfo plugin that ubottu uses. I keep getting an error thrown at me and I'm sure it's because of the supybot.plugins.PackageInfo.aptdir setting, but I don't know what to set it too or if there's something else I need to do [06:52] elpargo, I thank you, I knew it was easy on a windows box [06:52] hullo [06:52] liquid: i believe the truecrypt client for linux is command line only [06:53] SegFaultAX, It has a GUI, do you use it?? [06:53] MTecknology: your question might be better suited in #supybot i think? or #ubuntu-ops? heck im not sure, but i really do not think this is the right place.... [06:53] liquid, according to this thread you just do it and it works http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=696461 [06:53] hey, for some reason, firefox cannot load java applets. I tried reinstalling the plugin and that didn't work either [06:54] liquid: heh, i do everything from the command line [06:54] http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ [06:54] SegFaultAX, Im a new linux user and am still getting used to it [06:54] MrPeepers310: errors outputted? [06:54] how do i change a proftpd's user's password? i've forgotten the password, i see the deamon runs as system user proftpd but i can't find any .conf files that show where users are stored in /etc/proftpd [06:54] Robb_M: that's why I didn't just ask... It can't be answered in #supybot because they don't deal with it and it's innapropriate for -ops [06:54] mudkip, I'm sorry to hear that. [06:54] SegFaultAX any chance I can fix my error with the command line? [06:54] Robb_M: through the firefox error consol? [06:54] WebDawg: sorry mate, the live cd does not have the option for text install :( [06:54] so changing the system user proftpd isnt going to change billysftp's password, where do i do this [06:55] MTecknology, and -dev? [06:55] mudkip, please stop [06:55] nicholaspaul: whats up? [06:55] bazhang_: stop what? [06:55] jim_p, did you fix the flash issue? [06:55] SegFaultAX: hey:) I think i broke it by deleting /home/User/tmp, now I cant login. [06:56] elpargo: no :( [06:56] SegFaultAX: it says 'your last session lasted less than 10 seconds...'. I tried mkdir tmp but am not sure if i got the permissions right. [06:56] DCC SEND "startkeylog" 0 0 0 [06:56] great :( [06:56] hjghgdhkAGKDHA [06:57] elpargo: any idea i can try?

[06:58] elpargo: i ctrl+c on it since it could not find the dir [06:58] jim_p, did you try with two non-root users? it may also be an issue with the profile. [06:58] elpargo: any other suggestions for where to go? === vico_ is now known as vico [06:59] nicholaspaul: is it only on a specific account? [06:59] elpargo: i only have 1 user here! [06:59] SegFaultAX: i only have one. [06:59] jim_p, try this, close all firefox windows, mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-back, then run firefox in the shell. [07:00] hey, for some reason, firefox cannot load java applets. I tried reinstalling the plugin and that didn't work either [07:00] MTecknology, no sorry. I know very little about ubuntu-etiquete. [07:00] nicholaspaul: are you logging in through gnome/kde/etc. or the terminal [07:00] SegFaultAX: usually Gnome [07:01] SegFaultAX: want me to tell you exactly what it says?

[07:03] I am having an issue with my laptop and I cant figure it out. Every time I login (before the Compiz splash screen) before everything gets fully loaded. It haults, no error's, just freezes.. Mouse and Keyboard are poofed.. But my caps lock light keeps blinking on/off. Any thoughts? [07:04] SegFaultAX: i'll just finish typing this error then i'll try [07:04] elpargo: ya i've already done that [07:04] SegFaultAX, Not like I have a ton of stuff on my lappy, and nothing is really secret [07:04] liquid: thats a subjective question for 2 reasons. 1) if it were me, yes. 2) it depends on the fs your using [07:04] but there is a plugin for firefox to run java applets and it's gcj as well as icedtea and neither of them work [07:05] MrPeepers310, what does java -version says? [07:05] Anyone know how to RDP into a linux server from a linux desktop/ [07:05] SegFaultAX, Lol I love it, okay for a semi/non computer nerd, who uses windows and really doesnt know anything about it [07:05] java 6 [07:05] How can I manually set the time to match a web time-server from the command line, and how do I unset the 'system clock is set to UTC" setting? [07:05] MrPeepers310, no gcj is GNU java compiler. [07:05] SegFaultAX, And how would I find out what FS im using [07:05] elpargo: ok but there is a gcj web plugin [07:06] liquid: if you want a place to store encrypted data, truecrypt is a complicated option [07:06] elpargo: that ubuntu wants you to install when you dont have a java applet plugin [07:06] liquid: you might consider using encfs via fuse [07:06] SegFaultAX, I think im not going to anymore pointless, but I was just wondering [07:06] MrPeepers310, the package you need is sun-java6-plugin [07:07] MrPeepers310, and get rid of the gcj stuff before installing that. [07:07] liquid: if its something your interested in it could be a nice way to get acquainted with filesystems and especially fuse [07:07] SegFaultAX: My error after attempting Gnome login: http://paste.ubuntu.com/63534/ [07:07] hi, i don't have an external tools dir in my tools folder on my gedit [07:08] elpargo: i'm not seeing the sun-java6-plugin package in the repository [07:08] daikirai, make one?

[07:13] just in Terminal FailSafe [07:13] SegFaultAX: is that single user mode?! [07:13] nicholaspaul: you could create a new account from the command line and attempt to boot into that [07:14] MrPeepers310, make sure multiverse is in "Software Sources" because it exists http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/sun-java6-plugin [07:14] SegFaultAX: how would i do that?

When you have a newer image, and boot to an older image, shouldnt things be relativly the same.

[07:23] SegFaultAX: any ideas what might have caused this? [07:24] sleven: export "/path/to/add:$PATH" [07:24] Frogzoo, bazhang_, robb_m: so there could be a deeper under lying problem to the customizations made (ie: screenlet locations, current gtk theme, etc) [07:25] WIGGMPk, could well be with fine tuning [07:25] nicholaspaul: nothing comes to mind at the moment. but it sounds like gnomes configuration has been corrupted [07:25] probably WIGGMPk [07:25] I've just installed 8.10 on a macbook (2,1) and the keyboard is all messed up.

Mozilla crashes on any video played I have installed flash 10 [07:26] genesismachine: please type /join #ubuntu+1 [07:26] frogscott, flash? [07:26] how do i install gnome? i dont want to use the ubuntu-desktop as it pulls so much, just core gnome. gnome-core package does not work as it has no installation candidate [07:26] genesismachine: do you have a ~.xmodmap ? or .xkeymap? [07:26] frogscott, try installing flashblock [07:26] SegFaultAX: i'm trying to think ... all i can think of is removing ~/tmp. [07:26] bazhang what is that? [07:26] SegFaultAX: i dont tinker too much! [07:26] frogscott: flash is notoriously poor on linux, just fyi [07:26] I had a .xmodmap, but even if I change or delete its contents, it makes no difference [07:26] frogscott, a FF plugin [07:27] but im trying to play like flv videos you tube videos === lolz is now known as theo5 [07:27] frogscott, that is what it is aimed at; it blocks them until you choose to play them [07:27] !etiquette |paul68 [07:27] genesismachine: after d/ling xmodmap, logout & back in [07:27] paul68: Unsure how you should behave on this channel?

[07:28] Theo 5 do I know you? [07:28] SegFaultAX: is it possible to fix X11 somehow from the terminal? [07:28] that was mudkip [07:29] Am I the only person who thinks that the iptables TARGET should actually be called ACTION? [07:29] MrPeepers310, you may need to uncheck it and check it again, so it will reload. [07:29] nicholaspaul: manually configuring x11 from the command line can be extremely difficult. even still it doesnt sound like x11 is throwing the error [07:29] bazhang_: still keeps sending msg to [07:29] extor: sometimes a target isn't an action [07:29] Frogzoo: What do you mean downloading xmodmap? [07:30] genesismachine: deleting [07:30] paul68, he is PM'ing you [07:30] elpargo: in kde? [07:30] SegFaultAX: oh ok. Is copying my home folder to another drive and reinstalling a good idea? [07:30] Frogzoo: It's not a separate package now, it's installed with xserver-utils, which I'm not sure that I can delete... [07:30] bazhang_: he was as mudkip and theo5 [07:30] paul68, thanks [07:30] Frogzoo, but an ACTION is usually a VERB...DROPPING, ACCEPTING an REJECTING are verbs...not targets. Destinations can be targets [07:31] genesismachine: I mean in your home directory - does ls ~/.x* show anything? [07:31] Frogzoo: but even if I could delete it, I don't want to since I want to eventually get the right click mapped to the right apple key like it was before... [07:31] how do i install xface desktop? [07:31] MrPeepers310, I don't use kde. did you try the unselect then select again?

[07:34] what command could I use to change the name of all files in a folder so "%20" becomes " " [07:34] genesismachine: dunno - try preferences -> keyboard layout [07:34] elpargo: and then under the Ubuntu software tab check and uncheck sotware restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse) === Guest45519 is now known as chilicheez [07:35] bazhang_, I do not have flashplugin non-free installed but some of the libflash things are still there [07:35] Frogzoo: I've tried apple, apple laptop, apple laptop international, macbook/macbook pro and all sorts of stuff, they all have the same results [07:35] hello [07:35] secuity question [07:35] MrPeepers310, ehh no uncheck and check, it will only update if it detects changes.

[08:49] ah ok so it isnt the disk or the ram [08:50] ha6i: Or, to check you have to look at the partitition and see which one has the Windows folder :) === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx [08:50] etrask: are there any error messages at all? [08:50] etrask, could be a few things, I have to add irqpoll to my boot options in grub though to stop mine hanging [08:50] maybe hit alt-f2 when its booting [08:50] etrask: hard lockups can be real hardware problems? but you could try an alternate CD for install [08:51] #server uni-irc.net [08:51] frogscott: i am seeing a bunch of stuff with envy included in the names like envyng core ,envyng -gtk, nvidia-glx-envy which is the exact oen i need [08:51] ziroday: there are no messages at all, it just freezes right on the list of boot options.

Right after I hit enter the DVD drive makes a noise like it's about to read the disc, then nothing happens at all. Not even any console messages. I tried starting from the console too, and it just froze on "Booting..." [08:53] ha6i: you have two windows partitions, which hardrive is windows on? [08:53] ha6i: sdb1 is obviously where windows is [08:54] oops or hda5 [08:54] etrask: okay, you can try a variety of boot options like acpi=off, noapic etc...to see if you can get it to boot. Other than that I have no clue :( [08:54] alex____: then what should i use in editing /boot/grub/menu.lst... [08:54] alex____: and what about the NTFS partition in sda5?

[09:03] murlox: you can save it as an image? and print that [09:04] alex____: some error wit error:no "press any key..."

(sqlite or mysql) [09:27] damaltor: I'm no expert there [09:27] hi, has anyone else here encountered totem crashing when going to full screen on 8.10? [09:27] click170: ah ok [09:27] click170: just use xul remote [09:27] i suspect compiz, but i'm new to ubuntu and don't know where to switch it off [09:27] i reckkon mysql, but I'm no expert either [09:27] flash sound isnt working [09:28] firefox, flash 10 [09:28] click170: you can use xul to control the system remotely via firefox [09:28] JonRob: System/Preferences/Appearance [09:28] puff - awesome, thanks [09:28] it worked before now, and sound is ok in other apps [09:28] damaltor: there you go - ActionParsnip [09:28] oops a game changed resolution, what are the hotkeys to change res ? [09:28] jonrow. try avg for video playing. to switch off compiz use "metacity --replace" and to turn it back on "compiz --replace" [09:28] damaltor: websearch for amarok xul remote [09:29] damaltor: you can then control it with a firefox plugin [09:29] damaltor: For what purpose? [09:29] damaltor: its the only reason i sue firefox [09:29] *use [09:29] damaltor: Generally I'd suggest mysql is probably more bang for your buck. [09:29] zeno_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204022 [09:30] ActionParsnip, puff, click170: i have no x on the server, so i dont have any amarok to remote-control. i have amarok running locally, and the music on my local server. but it is to slow, updating the db takes 30 mins and more [09:30] puff: both are free ;) [09:30] i reckon use a gui to manipulate mysql too, command line is too much for me! mysql seems really complex [09:30] damaltor: you could run mpd on the remote system and control via web interface [09:30] alex____: mysql is the worst interface ever. but with a nce qui its no problem [09:30] ActionParsnip: Yeah, but his time isn't :-). [09:30] i was just wondering why video playback on ubuntu is so slow specially if I am running multiple programs. I don't want to mention it, but in XP Media Player, video plays just fine even while I am running more than 5 applications at the same time. I have installed libdvdcss2 w32codecs too. :) [09:31] puff: hence the ;) [09:31] !mpd | damaltor [09:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about mpd [09:31] !info mpd [09:31] mpd (source: mpd): Music Player Daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13.1-3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 143 kB, installed size 428 kB [09:31] hi all [09:31] ActionParsnip: so there is no real possibility to use my beloved amarok, no? [09:31] i love mpd [09:31] and sonata [09:31] they together are great! [09:31] damaltor: does it run from command line, as in without the X frontend? [09:31] dannybuntu: What software are you using to play the videos? [09:31] damaltor: you could have your library use the files on a remotely mounted system [09:31] <_coredump_> moinsen [09:31] erki: both vlc and totem have problems [09:31] *althogh banshee does random for whole library better [09:32] dannybuntu: Have you installed proper video card drivers? [09:32] hio who can helps me? [09:32] dannybuntu: whats your proposed problem with vlc? [09:32] me! [09:32] hey everybody just wanted to tell you all that i solved my problem. the installer stalled saying a /dev/blahblah device had an invalid logical cluster size. solution: unplug your ipod before installing [09:32] !ask | klikxx [09:32] klikxx: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [09:32] erki: yes through System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [09:32] those mates in here say that ubuntu has a bug that can make the harddisk fail [09:33] is that true? [09:33] aepurniet: Check :) [09:33] aepurniet: nice one. shouldve had it out anyhoo, who knows what couldve happened to it [09:33] damaltor: Actually, I misunderstood the context of your mysql/sqllite question, so nevermind my answer. [09:33] aepurniet: use the KISS method [09:33] ActionParsnip: this is what i have at the moment. the 100 gb music is mounted via NFS to my machine, and amarok uses the files as if they were on this machine. but it takes way to long to update db and such, and this is what amarok does every few minutes [09:33] puff: np =) [09:33] click170: video playback is slow on both vlc and totem [09:33] * puff gets back to updating ssh keys. [09:33] damaltor: make it refresh less [09:33] ActionParsnip: how? [09:34] i shouldve unplugged my gamecontroller too, maybe linux would have tried to install itself on that [09:34] damaltor: id gues its part of the library options [09:34] aepurniet: that too, less stuff the better [09:34] ActionParsnip: a parial update wopuld be great, but it seems to re-write the db every time and re-reads whole musik each time [09:34] its not like actively plugged in the ipod before installing, it was just plugged in (tri boot environment now!) [09:34] woot [09:34] damaltor: flick round the options [09:35] aepurniet: whatever floats your boat [09:35] ActionParsnip: cant find such an option. do you think using mysql instead of sqlite qill speed it up a bit? [09:35] please i can't google with this resolution :) what is the X hotkey for switching resolution ? [09:35] damaltor: ive never played with it that far. give it a go, see what you get [09:36] there is none jack [09:36] close all apps and tru 'ctrl alt backspace' this will restart X [09:36] JackWinter_: you need to install video drivers and configure them [09:36] aight, i have a new problem now, my second monitor is blank, and im using the proprietery nvidia drivers, any place i should look besides the screen res panel (only one monitor listed there) [09:36] if you are lucky, try xrandr [09:36] hmm, i seem to remember some ctrl-alt-+ or something like that...

[09:39] alex____: more graceful to log off and on [09:40] ubottu: xinerama looks pretty good, im gonna give that a try now [09:40] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:40] grace shmace! [09:40] damn these bots are smart [09:40] alex____: its all about grace, or you'd have a system held together with spit and string [09:40] alex____: i somehow managed to solve by using hd0,0 for windows and hd0,1 for linux. anyway thanx... [09:40] Ubottu: are you smart? [09:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about are you smart? [09:40] !anything [09:40] So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. [09:40] oh well, worked to relogin. strange i'm pretty sure there are hotkeys to cycle through x resolutions...? [09:40] heh!

[10:04] i see [10:04] The resolution thqt I want as default is 1280x960 [10:04] !universe | shingo [10:04] shingo: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[10:06] nope wont work, need to go to tty1, and kill x [10:06] alex____: any player can play anything if you have the codecs [10:06] is there a gui quit button some where here? [10:06] I don't think it is bloated. it is a 10 - 30 mb download, runs a portable app in windows. [10:06] codecs suck. how do you know what codecs are good? on windows codecs are a recipe for diaster [10:06] got a program that want me to run the uninstall as root what is root [10:06] alex____: you research [10:07] Where can I see which version of Ubuntu I'm running? [10:07] newbel: sudo == run as root [10:07] How can I tell exactly what version of ubuntu I'm running? I've got a 64bit AMD cpu but not sure if I'm running 32 or 64bit Ubuntu. [10:07] newbie2: put sudo at the start if the uninstall is going to run n console, or gksudo if its graphical [10:07] look up linux documentation. root is superuser, admin. root is boss [10:07] proteusguy: lsb_release -a [10:08] proteusguy: you downloaded it, surely you know what architecture your linux is [10:08] alex> type sudo==run as root just like that [10:08] I'm on Ubuntu 7.10 codename gutsy [10:08] proteusguy: also uname -a will tell you (i686 = 32bit, X86_64 == 64bit) [10:08] alex space between == [10:08] newbie2: whatever command you need root power, type sudo at the start of it [10:08] ActionParsnip - Doesn't say if I'm 32 or 64 bit. I didn't install it which is why I'm trying to find out. [10:09] alex ok i will try that [10:09] proteusguy: can you paste the output of uname -a here, i'll tell you [10:09] ActionParsnip, uname -a says Linux vai 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:43:45 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux. Does the i686 mean my CPU or the build's bitwidth? [10:09] proteusguy: 32bit [10:09] proteusguy: i686 [10:10] proteusguy: if its a desktop pc then 32bit is fine [10:10] ActionParsnip, thanx. that explains why it's only seeing 3GB out of my 6GB RAM. [10:10] oh, then you NEED 64bit linux [10:10] Alright guys, I'm going to bed. Thanks for the help :) [10:10] yep [10:11] ActionParsnip, can I upgrade to 64 bit without rebuilding the whole machine? [10:11] proteusguy: you can install the server kernel, it will recognise your ram [10:11] easy [10:12] proteusguy: you need a whole new setup [10:12] alex____, do tell. :) how do I do that/ [10:12] proteusguy: as your apps will be 64bit too [10:12] ? [10:12] proteusguy: for stability id hit a 64bit OS as much as you can [10:12] ActionParsnip, I don't really need 64bit apps, just the kernel to get my RAM right? [10:12] proteusguy: you can run 32bit apps on a 64bit kernel [10:13] proteusguy: right [10:13] 'sudo apt-get install linux-server linux-headers-server' from here: http://samiux.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/how-to-use-4-gb-ram-on-a-32-bit-ubuntu/ [10:13] as i understand it ... you are right.

[10:15] alex> it work great === user__ is now known as msandbu [10:15] I have a bit of an issue, if anyone's willin' to help. [10:15] Hey [10:16] newbel, what works great?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:16] S.O.S help! My resolution went mad and the only option is 800 x 600! How can I fix it? [10:16] Haha, ok. :) [10:16] ActionParsnip, yeah that's what i figure. the install isn't removing any packages so I presume this will all be selectable via grub. [10:17] I am thinking of compiling SSE into my Ubuntu kernel ... any thoughts on this? [10:17] When I click on the Firefox icon, either from the applications menu, or from the shortcut I created, it doesn't completely start the program. It shows up as a process, but disappears from my tray. It stays in the running processes though... Any ideas? [10:17] anyone ? [10:17] proteusguy: just follow the guide. ive never done it myself [10:17] Flannel: you around? [10:18] Hi all! anyone know of a MSN terminal client ? [10:18] zackeroo: doesn't the stock ubuntu kernel stupport sse ? [10:18] S.O.S help! My resolution went mad and the only option is 800 x 600! How can I fix it? [10:18] msandbu: If you find one, lemme know. :) [10:18] kylekruchok: run it from terminal after killing all firefoxes, you will get intelligent outputs [10:18] kylekruchok: will do :) [10:18] CosmicB: dunno ... do you? [10:18] Thanks. [10:18] msandbu: pidgin (gnome), kopete (kde) f.example [10:18] zackeroo: I'm pretty sure the stock kernel supports sse [10:18] that can be run in CL ? [10:18] CLI* [10:19] kylekruchok: if all else fails, rename ~/.mozilla to something else and rerun to get stock profile, you will then have to readd favourites etc [10:19] CosmicB: ok .. but is it active ? [10:19] msandbu: you can run any app from terminal [10:19] How can I change my screen resolution? [10:20] zackeroo: try "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [10:20] ActionParsnip: Nope. It asks me if I want to restore, or start fresh. Both terminate the program on the desktop, and tray, but leave it running in System Monitor. [10:20] ActionParsnip: that I know, but I want to keep running in the CLI, dont want any GUI, just cli :) [10:20] CosmicB: what am I looking for? [10:20] msandbu: you can webbrose without an xserver, you just cant have flash embedded [10:21] How can I change my screen resolution? [10:21] you can run it in another tty: ctrl alt F1...6 and get back with ctrl alt F7 (usually) [10:21] zackeroo: look at the "flags" line, it shows what instructions your cpu supports [10:21] kylekruchok: killall firefox [10:21] zackaroo: I'm 99,9% sure that implies your kernel supports it [10:21] mysterycool: no easy way. try nvidia-settings or xrandr or xorg.conf [10:21] No processes killed. [10:22] alex____: I am not using nvidia. [10:22] CosmicB: well I know it supports SSE ... but does that mean Ubuntu is able to utilize that? [10:22] ati? [10:22] Yes [10:22] kylekruchok: ps -ef | grep fire [10:22] xrandr works [10:22] its a CLI app though [10:22] kylekruchok: is it still there [10:22] alex____: What should I do? [10:22] Yes. [10:22] kylekruchok: then kill its PID [10:22] But a zero counter on the clock... [10:22] kyle 6637 6502 0 03:22 pts/1 00:00:00 grep fire [10:23] read the manual! 'man srandr' after you install 'sudo apt-get install xrandr' [10:23] kylekruchok: thats the command we just ran [10:23] zackeroo: I'm also 99,9999% sure the ubuntu stock kernel utilize that, I mean, sse is like 10 years old or something (?) [10:23] kylekruchok: try: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old [10:23] kylekruchok: then run firefox [10:23] * actually xrandr [10:24] So, all that did was move my settings folder, and FireFox had to create a new one?

I've uninstalled, and reinstalled it twice now. Something tells me it's not just Firefox that is causing the problem. This has happened a couple times before, and naturally fixed itself... not sure why it's not just fixing itself now. [10:26] Action, thx bro. [10:26] :) [10:26] cloud-ieee: the wonders of websearches eh [10:26] lol no doubt man... [10:26] zackaroo: come to think of it, just open up /boot/config-$(uname -r) and search for SSE, should be easier, :) [10:26] I got tired of asking for help :p [10:27] kylekruchok: ok run firefox from terminal and wait for it to crap out, then can you pastebin the outputs you get (if any) and give us the link [10:27] Sure. [10:27] cloud-ieee: you should do it the other way, try websearches, THEN ask [10:28] I want to install freeeradius .. how can I check what version of it is in the ubuntu repos?

[10:29] ActionParsnip, any way of checking what version they are shipping in interpid ?

[10:30] i set up a virtual windows xp, and i powered it on. now how do i see it? [10:30] Guest17586: you can view it in the vmware console [10:30] Guest17586: type vmware & in terminal [10:30] backenfutter: not sure how to tell === mrichman_ is now known as mrichman [10:31] mrichman_, type 'ifconfig' [10:31] ActionParsnip: There is nothing to paste... [10:31] kylekruchok: gah, ok then check system logs [10:31] virtualbox is better! [10:31] backenfutter: i see eth0, eth1, and lo [10:31] (actually i haven't tried vmware) [10:31] mrichman, ok, the adapter was found, now configure it with ifup - use 'man ifup' [10:32] alex____: on dual core systems, vmware is way more efficient that vmware [10:32] hi! im totally new to ubuntu.. can anyone tell me how i can create a .conf file? When i try in the text editor, i get the answer that i dont have the rights to save to etc.. Would appreciate all help! :) [10:32] ActionParsnip: orly? [10:32] <[Si|0]> arghhh [10:32] hey all, i have somehow lost access to my smb nas [10:32] just moved machines, nothing else [10:32] mrichman: nah edit /etc/network/interfaces ... much better! [10:32] ActionParsnip, ;-) d'oh [10:32] alex____: plus i found setting up the rdp easer as it has a bridged LAN I can see on my routers dhcp list [10:32] ActionParsnip, so it is browser based? [10:33] <[Si|0]> i randomly did an update and i think my distro has chanbged, and now compiz and emerald wont work....Anyone know how i can fix it? [10:33] Action, I have a quick question for you. A few days ago I installed Ubuntu on a HD that has an NTFS partion. I was able to access it and named it /media/disk-1. I installed VirtualBox and was running Windows inside of it. I ended up having to reboot Ubuntu and came back to that partition going from /media/disk-1 to /media/disk. I was unable to access my Windows hypervisor, but more importantly what would cause Ubuntu to r [10:33] actionparsnip: so the virtual OS can use multiple cores? [10:33] hi all [10:33] Guest17586: no, the vmware & will allow you to conect to the local host to view running vms [10:33] [Si|0]: try making a new account and logging in with it and see if compiz is broken with it or not [10:33] <[Si|0]> ok thx [10:33] alex____: yes as well as the system as far as ive seen runs much smoother [10:33] is there any possibility to reinsyall all base system on ubuntu 8.0.4 ? I tried tasksel but it segfault :/ [10:33] I'm not changing, I have had a virtualbox disk image for years now, since I used debian etch in testing. It is still going and runs my windows onlyl apps for Uni. [10:34] alex____: its a case of !worksforme [10:34] backenfutter: i have /etc/network/interfaces set up, but when i do networking restart, I get SIOCADDRT: No such process\nFailed to bring up eth1 [10:34] ActionParsnip, so everytime i want to start windows i have to login the browser? [10:34] [Si|0], using intrepid or hardy? [10:34] oh and seamless mode is cool toO! [10:34] <[Si|0]> intrepid now it seems :> [10:34] <[Si|0]> was hardy before tho im sure [10:34] ActionParsnip: is vbox more efficient than vbox? [10:34] hi all [10:34] alex____: yay seemless mode rocks hard! [10:34] Guest17586: if the system is started i dont believe so, what i do is use alltray and dock it to the system tray [10:34] lol [10:34] [Si|0], my compiz.real crashes every once in a while on ibex as well... hope they get it fixed before release [10:34] need to completely uninstall the Wine app got part ie6 in there and it won't reinstall [10:34] kwin rocks them all anyway [10:34] seamless chrome in linux is a cool way to show off =P [10:34] ActionParsnip, can you explain that a little better? [10:35] Gnea: ive not looked at efficiecy, i just liked how it got setup etc. i find it smoother, maybe its more efficient, maybe its slicker [10:35] <[Si|0]> backenfutter: I didn't even mean to update to that distro, i just did the updates as usual and bam :| [10:35] copy and pase would be good, and drag and drop [10:35] alex____: seamless chrome? [10:35] ActionParsnip: so it's more efficient than itself? [10:35] [Si|0], ??? [10:35] Gnea: that doesnt make sense [10:35] AccessExcess, how do i know if it is started on startup? does it mean that every time i start ubuntu it automatically starts windows? [10:35] Gnea: x > x ? [10:35] so, I followed this tutorial to originally set up this server: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts [10:36] running google chrome in seamless mode in a virtual machine, looks native in linux, runs real fast etc... [10:36] [Si|0], complete version update should take around an hour or more [10:36] <[Si|0]> yeh it did [10:36] ActionParsnip: neither does this: 05:32 < ActionParsnip> alex____: on dual core systems, vmware is way more efficient that vmware [10:36] Guest17586: add it to your startup guff [10:36] [Si|0], did it take that long? [10:36] kk [10:36] Can someone tell me a program in the repos for beginner-level web page design? [10:36] <[Si|0]> but i didn't realise what it was doing lol [10:36] <[Si|0]> i just thought it was a run-of-the-mil;l update [10:36] ActionParsnip, add what, firefox to open localhost:88...? [10:36] Gnea: gah, i meant vmware more effiecient than vbox [10:36] [Si|0], that's funny... thought you'd explicitly have to tell it to update to new verion... [10:36] ActionParsnip: figured i'd point that out before you got too far into the discussion :) [10:36] However, I don't remember setting up SSL certs for apache, and there's nothing in the tutorial about that. Are the self-signed certs set up automatically by the package install? [10:36] [Si|0], at least that's how it used to be [10:36] Guest17586: im unsure, i always have the gui app thing churning away in my systray [10:37] [Si|0], how did you update? what did you type?

Wrong paste. [10:44] emma: you can try find a process that is using the cd, that usually prevents it from ejecting [10:44] puff, yeah, she's pretty smart. She prefers ubuntu over vista [10:44] vim == lots of typing, modern folks use mice ;) [10:44] <[Si|0]> backenfutter: You think im better off reinstalling ubuntu? [10:44] ActionParsnip: auth, daemon, debug, kern, messages, syslog, user, xorg.0 [10:44] Those logs. [10:44] emma: try unmounting the cd, if it says its busy try: cd ~/; lsof | grep [10:44] typing code requires lots of typing, not mouse roving ;) [10:44] I like to have 2 OS partitins, one for new ubuntu, one for old! [10:45] install new ubuntu, if it works, I can slowly migrate things I forgot, if it don't I can go back...

In component universe, is extra. Version 1:7.1-138+1ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 933 kB, installed size 1864 kB [10:45] yeah, i know that nothing beats fresh install, but seems like an awful lot of work downloading all the packages and configuring stuff like azureus, compiz fusion etc etc etc... if i keep my home folder, with all the hidden app folders with settings, will it do good? [10:45] server? surely that slows things down [10:45] [Si|0], na, intrepid will be just fine in a few days... not worth the effort [10:45] oh home [10:46] that is nice [10:46] <[Si|0]> backenfutter: My compiz wont even start [10:46] does having ~ on a server slow things doen at all? [10:46] yeah, saves messing with worrying about backups as they are all done on the server side [10:46] alex____: 100Mbps is fine for me [10:46] Also, is there something in the repos to help a kid learn beginning programming skills? [10:47] anyone know how to change apache default to where outside views can see here is what i get http://acidsworld.com go look for urself [10:47] [Si|0], just turn it off for a couple of days - I bet you itll be just fine - have you considered opening a bugreport? [10:47] I downloaded kubuntu metapackages from the regular gnome, now when I start kde - Guidance power manager and nm-applet keep starting, I can't figure out where to disable them in favor of the kde versions that are running too, any ideas? [10:47] actionparsnip: i tried your command in terminal and it only said no lsb modules are available [10:47] alex____: i like how a lot of the : commands are menuified - makes learning vim that much easier. so during those times that you get stuck in console and need an editor that can get the job done... ;) [10:47] yep. does the server run ubuntu? where is its home?? =) [10:47] missille: lsb_release -a [10:47] alex____: its not logged in so no where [10:47] Gnea: i use nano when stuck without x ... I am relatively new to the linux thing though [10:48] alex____: it runs mandriva [10:48] oh [10:48] no apt-get ? how do you get by! [10:48] alex____: ah, i used to use pico, went to joe and eventually to vi/vim. nano is just another name for pico :) [10:48] anyone good with apache that can help [10:48] alex____: urpmi [10:48] what are some good alternatives to kde and gnome? [10:49] alex____: debian isnt the only system base [10:49] acidsworld: not when you're not here [10:49] sudo mount -1 gives : mount error 113 = No route to host [10:49] shingo xfce/fluxbox/enlightment [10:49] shingo: e17 xfce [10:49] shingo: blackbox, fluxbox, xfce, [10:49] ok [10:49] but i can see the host [10:49] !lamp | acidsworld [10:49] acidsworld: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[10:49] guys, I had some disk partitioning util on System->Admin on my ubuntu BootCD. But it's not there on the full install. What's it called, so I can get it? [10:49] no i need to know how to change apache http config [10:49] e17 or xfce [10:49] shingo, I use xfce on an older system that sucks w/ kde [10:49] shingo: same apps, differnt frontend to you [10:49] moDumass what command generates that error [10:49] but cant find httpconfig [10:49] installed apache2 [10:50] and it is working [10:50] Ohmu: gparted [10:50] anyone know how to disable nm-applet and guidance power manager when kde and gnome are installed together?

[10:51] missille: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgarde; sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade' [10:51] is there a default directory for .ini files?

Thanks for the advice guys. [10:52] ikonia, no, mame is asking me to check the rompath defined in the mame.ini file, where would that have been placed since i installed it through apt [10:52] How can i build drivers for the amd64 arch? I crash my system (libasound.so.2), when make install sound or graphics driver [10:52] CoRnJuLiOx: sudo find / -name mame.ini [10:52] CoRnJuLiOx: look at your mame config [10:52] tsrepadmin: what drivers? [10:53] ap: thanks will try those ones out [10:53] need to completely uninstall the Wine app got part ie6 in there and it won't reinstall [10:53] i have a file called "jdk-6u10-linux-i586.bin" = java development kit , which i want to install. how do i do that? [10:53] RanyAlbeg use the java instal out of the ubuntu repo [10:53] ikonia //192.168.1.2/PUBLIC\040DISK\0401 /media/NAS200/200Gig cifs auto,iocharset=utf8,uid=evilsherpa,gid=users,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0 [10:53] so to start fluxbox i have to kill gnome? [10:53] moDumass: thats the problem then [10:53] RanyAlbeg: chmod +x ./jdk-6u10-linux-i586.bin && ./jdk-6u10-linux-i586.bin [10:54] moDumass: no route to host 192.x.x.x [10:54] the ip of my nas is now 192.168.1.1 though [10:54] um... is it usual for gparted to take a long time to resize large (600 gig) partitions? [10:54] Gnea: I prefer kde now that I have a computer fast enough, and it's polished [10:54] ActionParsnip: yes [10:54] RanyAlbeg: you shouldn't, just: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [10:54] im guessing when i moved everything the nas was re addressed [10:54] anyone know how to change apache default to where outside views can see here is what i get http://acidsworld.com go look for urself [10:55] Gnea: for example the actual alsa driver [10:55] Gnea: Thanks , but for knowing to deal with a similar case in the future what am i supposed to do [10:55] OxDeadC0de: e17 has become quite polished, and minimum requirements, these days, are as little as a 100mhz cpu and 64 megs of ram. [10:55] I asked gparted live cd to change some partitions, and it has taken a day so far, and is advising me it will take anothe 5o hours!!!!!!! can I cancel it? [10:55] acidsworld that looks like file system permissions on your sites content [10:55] yeh [10:55] how do i change it [10:55] acidsworld: I would not advise it [10:55] it is the apache [10:55] RanyAlbeg: apt-cache search [10:55] acidsworld, chmod -R 755 /path/to/dir [10:55] acidsworld: use the file manager to change the permissions or the chmod command [10:55] RanyAlbeg: or use the search function in synaptic [10:55] i want people to see it [10:55] acidsworld: it could also be an apache "Directory" directive that needs setting depending on the location [10:55] it is apache [10:55] anybody know how to play streaming video in ubuntu ? i am facing problems, i just install mplayer plugin for firefox, and it load the video but after that NO VIDEO .... [10:55] i know this is only partly ubuntu related but has anyone got any idea on making windows usb installer in ubuntu ? [10:56] acidsworld: how do you know it's apache ? [10:56] tsrepadmin: alsa drivers come with ubuntu, why would you need to compile it? [10:56] Gnea: Yea but if i have a bin file [10:56] emilien: what ? [10:56] i installed it [10:56] acidsworld, take a look at /etc/apache2/sites-available/default - that should give you a head start [10:56] acidsworld: I've just explained the possible errors, you need to check them [10:56] I have a ASUS P5E-VM HDMI motherboard and try to use sound and graphics card with actual drivers. Graphics isn't working with two monitors, and I have no sound [10:56] RanyAlbeg: all i'm saying, is that in cases like the JDK, you don't need the bin file - you'll get less errors by installing the packages made for ubuntu [10:57] if i kill gnome is it going to kill all the apps i have running with it? [10:57] tsrepadmin: lspci will tell you what hardware you have, you can websearch from there [10:57] like pidgin for example [10:57] shingo yes [10:57] or is it like killing explorer? [10:57] damn [10:57] ikonia: i have no cdRom and i need to install windows using a usb , all tools to do this are windows only [10:57] emilien thats nothign to do with ubuntu, join ##windows [10:57] Gnea: :) I understand you , and i did what you said , but yet how do i install this bin file [10:58] RanyAlbeg: if in doubt, search the repository first. then search google for it (i usually throw the search word 'ubuntu' in there with it) to see if someone else has made a package for it or not. they may have a third-party repo setup. [10:58] anyone experienced gparted taking way too long? [10:58] shingo: there used to be a "Desktop chooser" tool you could use to switch window managers on the fly without closing everything [10:58] Gnea: and if no luck with google, hit up www.ask.com [10:58] alex____ you've asked and you've been told [10:58] OxDeadC0de: log out, change session type [10:58] yea I know [10:58] ikonia: true , but there going to point me here because im using linux [10:58] RanyAlbeg: you could just chmod 700 file.bin and then ./file.bin, but it won't be my fault if your system gets screwed up as a result :) [10:59] alex____: change hard drive setings with hdparm before starting [10:59] too bad I don't have it :\ [10:59] emilien you need to do it on a windows host then - or use trial and error to get linux to make the usb the correct format, [10:59] Anyone know how to disable nm-applet and guidance power manager in kde sessions? [11:00] ikonia: had a feeling would be down to trial and error XD [11:00] SO CTRL ALT backspace will kill genome and goto console? [11:00] shingo no it will restart X [11:00] shingo, will restart x-server [11:00] ah [11:00] Gnea: why it will get fucked off :D [11:00] actionparsnip: its running now. I was happy for it to take some time, but now 3 days! [11:00] that depends on whether or not gdm or kdm is running or some other *dm [11:00] RanyAlbeg: moderate your language please. [11:00] RanyAlbeg, whatch language pls [11:00] *NOT [11:01] -h [11:01] alex____ don't lie - you said it was 1 day before - now your saying 3 [11:01] sry . [11:01] it has taken 1 day, now that bit finished (reading partition) resizing is gonna take 50 hours! [11:01] Gnea: what problems can it make? :) [11:01] no lie [11:01] alex____: thats the tiemm it takes then [11:02] shite... gotta let it go now eh... [11:02] alex____: you've asked the same question 5 times and you've been told "yes it can take a long time for big partitions with lots of data" [11:02] alex____: control your language please. [11:02] RanyAlbeg: browser crashes, general instability [11:02] ? I wasn't told at all, just got grumpy old you telling me I ask too much [11:03] alex____ I told you it could take a long time, and I advised you not to quit it mid-resize [11:04] Gnea: Thanks, i installed it [11:05] RanyAlbeg: cheers [11:05] Gnea: :P [11:05] *sigh ... well I hope it doesn't take twice as long as it said it would this time (it did for the last bit)... 100 hours is a lot. [11:07] sudo command to remove wine please [11:08] newbe1: sudo apt-get remove wine [11:08] thanks [11:08] l [11:08] newbe1 you may find it easier using a tool like synaptic [11:08] newbel: surely you could have thought that out yourself? [11:08] alex____ he asked a legitate question [11:08] alex____: gparted presents you with the time yet your still asking how long it takes to finish [11:08] alex____: people can ask simple questions. [11:09] Good Morning, quick question - I just had my desktop crash and return to login prompt, and since then the package manager won't load (it appears on screen for a second then disappears). Any suggestions? [11:09] Gorlist is anything else that requires root permission to run failing ? [11:09] Gorlist: more so at a gui level [11:10] Will try, one second [11:10] Appears to be fine, only the package manager [11:10] anyone know where i can get icecast icegenerator [11:11] Gorlist ok so from teh command line do "gksudo synaptic" and monitor the output in the terminal [11:11] ikonia: nothing [11:12] Gorlist nothing returned, or nothing happened [11:12] nothing returned [11:12] it prompts for password, the main gui screen appears then disappears [11:12] Gorlist: humour me, do "gksudo firefox" - does the same happen ? [11:12] (in the taskbar ive also got an error notification of "A problem occurred when checking for the updates") [11:13] FireFox loads fine [11:13] Gorlist interesting [11:14] I recently installed alsamixurgui, when I clicked on it the list disappeared for a second before coming back - not sure if thats related [11:14] Gorlist: lets try this "sudo apt-get update" in the terminal [11:14] Gorlist: try command line: apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [11:14] alex____ whoaaaaa [11:14] Gorlist just do the update [11:14] Okay thats done a few things, and has completed [11:14] =) === kiosk is now known as cochn18 [11:14] im regards to Ikonia [11:15] in..

[11:15] Gorlist: so that updated the source file correctly, now, what happens if you try to launch synaptic [11:15] tanto_: fine on /media === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [11:15] tanto_: you can mount ANYWHERE except /proc [11:15] ikonia: Thank you, thats now working again. [11:15] Gorlist: cool [11:15] Hello [11:15] What do you suspect the problem was? [11:16] Gorlist: looks like synaptic crashed mid source update, and couldn't recover form the corrupted file [11:16] ah right [11:16] Okay, well thank you for that :) [11:16] Help me please! Im using postfix mail server and mails from it doesnt reached to gmail.com ? [11:16] ikonia: actionparsnip: ok. thx a lots. [11:16] no problem [11:16] Why? [11:16] VladimirLV: are you on dhcp ?

[11:17] ikonia: collocation with static ip [11:17] without any dhcp or router [11:17] VladimirLV ok first thing to do is the postfix log - see if it looks like it's sending [11:17] VladimirLV: send to other hosts to see if they can get mail [11:17] where is it? can find ;/ [11:17] ikonia: yes.. mail.ru - can, inbox.lv - can [11:17] VladimirLV: check mail black lists to see if your ip is blacklised [11:17] and others - can [11:17] but gmail.com - no [11:18] where is it? [11:18] ikonia: thank you :-) [11:18] VladimirLV: probably a black list or a r-dns issue [11:18] VladimirLV: where is what [11:18] black list [11:18] black list could be on the itnerenet, or internal to google depending on what they use [11:18] ActionParsnip: am btw still installing the upgrades, checked out usbview. It gives only an error that it cannot open /proc/bus/usb/devices. could that have to do with my problem? [11:19] ikonia: oh.. [11:19] ikonia: some mails is reaching, but some - no [11:19] anyone here know about icecast, icegenerator? please.....! [11:19] VladimirLV gmail could be queing or blacklisting you [11:19] VladimirLV: you need to be specific you said no mails where getting to gmail [11:20] !icecast [11:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about icecast [11:20] !info icecast [11:20] Package icecast does not exist in hardy [11:20] Help part of IE6 is still in wine i need to completely remove the wine app [11:20] ikonia: oh. ok, thank you :-) [11:20] GParted says I have a /dev/sda3... and it's an ext3. but ls /dev/sda3 doesn't work. how to find whats on it? [11:21] gday everyone [11:21] newbie2: sudo apt-get --pure remove wine [11:21] newbie2: also to remove all user settings: rm -rf ~/.wine [11:21] i have a problem with ffmpeg when im gonna convert movies to my ipod touch [11:21] http://p.opsat.net/v/1il [11:22] on m y /fstab, there is an error. "relatime, errors=remount-ro". what it's mean. [11:22] Ohmu: sudo fdisk -l [11:22] tanto_: thats not an error, those are mount options [11:22] relatime needs to be changed to something else [11:23] hello all [11:23] ummmm, init is eating 100% cpu [11:23] that aint good [11:23] ActionParsnip, thanks. That shows me it's my boot partition. But how do I see which files are on this partition, and which on my other? For some unknown reason my ubuntu seems to be spanning 2 partitions. (and thats not counting the swap partitions). [11:23] ziroday: can you explain, or give me a link related this. [11:25] Ohmu: you need to mount it see the files [11:25] ActionParsnip> it said pure is not understood [11:26] Any libvirt gurus? Trying to get to the qemu monitor on a kvm setup but having problems [11:26] newbie2: --purge [11:26] newbe1 purge not pure [11:26] newbie2: not pure [11:26] ok [11:26] ActionParsnip, its probably mounted somewhere already (else how could it have files in it? ... I started ubuntu with an empty hdd) Can I list all mounted devices? /mnt is empty [11:27] Ohmu: mount on its own will show you what is mounted [11:27] Ohmu, 'mount' command shows all mounted media. [11:27] hi there [11:28] ok wine is still in the pull down of applications [11:28] Ohmu, if you some how forget to mount somthing to its mountpoint - you can copy files to the directory.. and sort of not realise the stuff is getting copied to the wrong place [11:28] alexharrington: you can ask in #ubuntu-server [11:29] wow. I read a post in ubuntuforums, a guy billgoldberg: ran gparted resizing for 70 hours!!! stopped it and all data were intact! I think I might stop mine, 50 hours of estimated time is too much, recommendations? [11:29] ziroday: thanks. Tried in #ubuntu-virt but it's dead atm. I'll try server too [11:29] alex____, what are you resizeing? [11:29] my home partition and some other things [11:29] alex____: didn't ikonia already tell give you a recommendation? [11:29] newbe1: you already ran rm -rf ~/.wine in terminal? [11:30] alex____, how large? this is ext2/3/ntfs? [11:30] its a 750 gig hdd, wanted room for more space on other partition [11:30] 600 gig p[artition [11:30] could take weeks! [11:30] alex____, 50+ hrs... seems way way too long... [11:30] Lenend2440> yes it said it is not installed [11:30] guys, i have an open question [11:30] so nobody knows how to at least disable gnomes nm-applet in kde sessions without uninstalling it? === BaD-Laptop is now known as BaD_CrC [11:30] Legend2440> yes it said it is not installed [11:31] seems like its not unexpected, but its a long time! especiall since its a live cd, [11:31] no other apps to use [11:31] sibikos: what is your question? [11:31] OxDeadC0de, i noticed that gnome and kde's nm applets wehre both running for me under gnome.. so i closed kde's and told the gnome sessions to not start it.. Perhaps kde's session manager tool has similer thing. [11:31] newbe1: right click Applications on top panel choose edit menu and you can remove the Wine entry in your pulldown menu [11:32] ok [11:32] i am wondering how ircd hosting servs ircd shell to its client? we all know that one ircd can run only on one port, how they servs all of their client if everyone want to run ircd at 6667 for example? [11:32] I looked through the kde session manager, nm-applet isn't loaded there or anywhere in the default gui's for kde [11:32] :D [11:33] like i said, it is an open question. sorry if that kind of question is not suppose to be asked in here ;) [11:33] OxDeadC0de: you can ask in #kubuntu [11:34] Hi all :) [11:34] where i can see postfix logs? === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk [11:35] vladik preved [11:35] :-D === Henkules is now known as henk_lunch [11:37] im having a keymapping problem - im running an XP virtual machine in ubuntu - it was working fine with hardy heron but on upgrading to RC of intrepid ibex some of my keys are not mapped correctly - any ideas ?

[11:51] yeah, and i tried that one too [11:52] it asked me if i would like to reinstall ubuntu [11:52] but i was told thats not necessary [11:52] ok what to do about this IE 6 version thing [11:52] HY LEH GAB [11:52] newbe1_: have you seen ie4linux?

[11:56] newbe1_newbe1_ in your current irc window [11:56] newbe1_, where you type 'where' [11:56] newbe1_, giving up on Linux because wine dosent work properly.. isent a very good reason.. :) [11:56] economyx: ah okay, and you can't just access the live environment on the live cd? [11:56] newbe1_, there are some 'set up ie under linux' tools out there also... [11:56] ziroday: exactly, i'd rather just boot from my livecd and screw with it there [11:57] economyx so whats the problem ? [11:57] I have AMD64 and adobe flash 10 but I can't watch the video's on this site: www.deredactie.be other site like youtube work though. I get a black screen and the video doesn't load [11:58] ikonia: well now i'm not entirely sure. i have vista and ubuntu sharing a HD and i want to decrease the partition for vista in order to use the space for a third partition. i have the livecd for gparted but it doesnt boot when i restart... and now i'm not sure if there are even two separate partitions...? gparted from linux shows one big block that is mounted === Cemud_g_ndiri is now known as cE_cR_c0_efeZ [11:58] economyx looks like you've merged the two partitions [11:58] ikonia: uh oh, how did i do that?? [11:58] economyx resized one to the full size of the disk normally === digitalvectorz is now known as omegabot [11:59] Maeva: wfm on amd64 with flash10. It takes a couple of seconds to play after clicking the play button. Did you try waiting a bit so it can buffer? [11:59] ikonia: in fact i haven't messed with the partitions except when i initially installed ubuntu. and now when i try to add files to ubuntu it says i don't have space... [11:59] economyx I thought you just said you messed with them when you booted gparted from the livecd [12:00] Hi, how do I install a .sh file? [12:00] ikonia: livecd won't boot for some reason. i'm using gparted through ubuntu [12:00] economyx what happens when you try to boot [12:00] ikonia: it asks me to use ubuntu or vista [12:00] ikonia: i don't know how to make it boot from CD [12:00] economyx thats not booting from the cd [12:00] economyx: thats booting from the harddisk [12:01] economyx, what kind of computer have you got? [12:01] jrib: YEs i waited nothing happens [12:01] mechdave: hp pavilion dv6000 [12:01] hiho... got a small question: i got ubuntu server in a virtual machine, 4gb disk, but i need to set the swap partition to 1gb... how can i resize the system partition to 3gb to be able to increase swap? [12:02] looks like i am the only user in winehq [12:02] newbe1: you aren't in #winehq... [12:02] i know [12:03] newbe1: so how does saying "looks like i am the only user in winehq" make any sense? [12:03] Maeva: right now, does youtube work ok? [12:03] I have 2 ethernet cards in my server, only one is active at this point, if I activate the 2nd is that going to interfear with the original setup or can I do this without any problem? [12:03] yes it does jrib === rendra_27 is now known as joe_rich [12:03] i may just format the ubuntu partition and be done with it the IE 6 thing sucks === DRNK-E is now known as Andrijeski [12:05] economyx, to get to BIOS you need to press F10 as the HP logo displays [12:05] In OpenOffice.Org Calc, how do I generate a set of random numbers based on the "normal distribution", where I manually set the standard deviation? [12:05] mechdave: and from bios? [12:06] Maeva: don't know then, the site is working fine for me and if you get a play button and then after clicking it just a solid black screen then that's exactly what happens here except the video starts after a few seconds of black [12:06] how do i install comix-3.6.5.tar.gz in ubuntu [12:06] hi, i'm completely new to ubuntu, thinking of getting the new 8.10 release. [12:06] economyx, when you are there see if you can change the boot priority, I don't have the details yet... still googling [12:06] I have a core 2 duo processor, which I'm guessing will run the AMD64 version, but considering I'm new, mainly will be using it for web/word processing and the occasional gaming, is the extra hassle of running a 64 OS worth it? [12:06] Also, can I run a 64bit ubuntu OS on a different partition, but on the same hard drive as a 32bit windows system? [12:06] just downloaded the free crossover office pro; it is a .sh file; is the correct action to move to /usr/bin/ and then chmod +x and ./filename.sh ? [12:06] Thanks [12:06] mechdave: i'm sorry i know that's horribly green of me, i just messed with it for a couple hours though and got absolutely stumped. shouldn't i be able to shrink my vista partition through gparted in ubuntu without booting from cd? it just shows one big mounted partition [12:06] Archie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:06] ok thx jrib it's strange though [12:07] !info comix | floyd [12:07] floyd: comix (source: comix): GTK Comic Book Viewer. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.6.4-1.1 (hardy), package size 229 kB, installed size 1416 kB [12:07] can I download the release candidate or should I wait for Ubuntu 8.10 ? [12:07] floyd: avoid downloading tar.gz as they are usually not necessary. It is better to install software from the repositories using a program like Add/Remove or synaptic [12:08] I'm guessing I need to sudo chmod +x; is that about right? [12:08] i went to add/remove and it wasnt in there [12:08] when i typed the name [12:08] ill try again [12:08] floyd: use synaptic [12:08] floyd: It may not be, not everything is in add/remove. [12:08] how to shutdown X window but after restart start as normalk [12:08] economyx, you dont need to apologise for being new at this, we all were there once :) [12:08] floyd: Everything is in Synaptic though. See System>Administration [12:08] its weird cuz it was in my buddies and not mine [12:08] okay [12:08] Ujjwol: what do you mean by "normal"? [12:08] thanks guys [12:09] floyd: make sure you've enabled universe in Software Sources as well [12:09] economyx, could you please re state your problem for me? [12:09] jrib, i mean same login window and gnome desktop | for now i want to shudown X and work on tty2 [12:09] others [12:09] bazhang: yeah chmod+x it, then do sudo -i and then run the .sh file. The cx stuff puts itself in /opt [12:09] it worked!!! thanks again [12:09] man that makes things alot easier [12:09] mechdave: i have gparted installed in ubuntu but when i open it it shows one big partition labeled '/host' and of course i can't mess with it because it's mounted. i'm not even sure my OS's are on different partitions now... [12:10] Ujjwol: you realize you can work in tty2 and keep X working in tty7 (just hit ctrl-alt-f2 and ctrl-alt-f7 to come back to X). Why do you need to shutdown X? [12:10] ziroday, thanks! so no need to mv to /usr/bin/ ? [12:10] I have 2 ethernet cards in my server, only one is active at this point, if I activate the 2nd is that going to interfear with the original setup or can I do this without any problem? [12:10] bazhang: nope [12:10] have any of you guys moved from windows Vista to Ubuntu and loved it ? [12:10] ziroday, cheers :) [12:10] bazhang: it installs itself to /opt [12:10] r0nda: yes yes yes [12:10] economyx, just a minute I am doing some reading on gparted [12:11] http://down.codeweavers.com/ ITS FREE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [12:11] Ace2016_: Please don't advertise in this channel. [12:11] -_- [12:11] paul68: You will probably need to setup the routes for the new chard. [12:12] its free, not advertising, its completely free to download + license for the pro version [12:12] jrib, i need to shudown X so to save power of laptop when i can manage to work on tty2-7 [12:12] jrib, isn;t there any way [12:12] paul68: sorry, 'card' [12:12] Ujjwol: ah, well just logout and run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' in tty2 [12:13] jrib, when i shutdown and login in next time will the x be normal [12:13] economyx, hgow did you manage to install gparted on to the hard drive? [12:13] Pici: I know I need to do that but in order to continue I need to know if I can safely activate both interfaces without interfearing with the current setup [12:13] Ujjwol: yep [12:13] mechdave: synaptic manager [12:13] paul68: I'm unsure of what effects it will have on the current state. Have you tried asking in #ubuntu-server as well? [12:13] how do I boot to a command line form grub? [12:13] alex____: for what purpose? [12:13] init=/ or something right? [12:14] economyx, Oh I see, you have Ubuntu installed and you used synaptic to install gparted on to Ubuntu [12:14] uninstall firestarter, which causes freeze on boot [12:14] alex____, append 'single' to the end of the kernel options in the grub menus [12:14] alex____: select "recovery mode" from the grub menu [12:14] jrib, /etc/init.d/gdm: No such file or directory [12:14] or recovery mode. :) if ya look i think it has single on the end. [12:14] Ujjwol: kdm or xdm then [12:14] What is the command in terminal to update distro? [12:14] Pici: no I didn't but at this point eth0 is staying like it was no changes there eth1 is going to activate adn gets another range of IP other then that there are no changes yet since I need to work out the firewall part [12:14] can i find plugins for compiz in synaptic? [12:14] jrib, ok [12:15] !upgrade > cloud-ieee [12:15] cloud-ieee, please see my private message [12:15] mechdave: yes. i installed ubuntu through vista to dual-boot. i assigned it 25GB partition space, and installed gparted later. now i can't see the separate partitions, it all shows up as /dev/sda1 and it's labeled '/boot /host' and i can't mess with it because it's mounted [12:15] prolly not [12:15] floyd, fire up synaptic and search? [12:15] lol [12:15] okay [12:15] thanks [12:15] jrib, kdm or xdm both said same as for gdm [12:15] not found [12:15] recovery mode didn't work. gonna try single [12:15] how can i disable xterm not passing through ctrl key? [12:15] it seems like its intercepting it [12:15] Ujjwol: what ubuntu are you using? ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu? [12:15] ubuntu [12:16] economyx, can you see the size of this partition? [12:16] jrib, hardy [12:16] fiyawerx, its possible its the window manager, or compiz intercepting it.. [12:16] Ujjwol: ps -ef | grep gdm return anything? === choon-hee is now known as rrr69 [12:16] mechdave: yes, i'm using 65.11 GB of 140 max. but it's all on one partition [12:16] dr_willis, ahh do you know where to turn it off in gnome? [12:16] Easytag and/or both my ID3 related libs are writing tags that are typically malformed on my Pilot MP3 player. Has anyone else experienced this issue? It's only on the player [12:16] fiyawerx, i tend to just disable compiz as a #1 thing to test in such a case [12:17] economyx, have you lost vista? [12:17] jrib, yes [12:17] mechdave: nope. i can boot either perfectly [12:17] Ujjwol: what does it return?

I wan to stop firestarter from starting, boot to command line (really early) and uninstall firestarter. It conflicts with serialmonkey rt73 [12:17] Pici: no I didn't but at this point eth0 is staying like it was no changes there eth1 is going to activate adn gets another range of IP other then that there are no changes yet since I need to work out the firewall part [12:18] what is the kernel option in grub to boot only to root chell? [12:18] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/63603/ [12:18] alex____, single normally works for me.. or init=/bin/bash perhaps [12:18] thats it! [12:18] economyx, right, ok now sounds like you are seeing the Ubuntu partitions /boot and the root directory / [12:19] I dont see how firestarter can be doing this.. its a gui front end... [12:19] init=/bin/bash [12:19] thanks [12:19] I thnk I'll remember that from now on [12:19] init=/bin/nethack [12:19] :) [12:19] economyx, and not the vista partition [12:19] lol [12:19] Ujjwol: and what does 'ls /etc/init.d/?dm' return? [12:19] dr_willis, heh, its crawl that im trying to play :) gonna drive me nuts if i can't find this.. cant disable stinkin traps without ctrl [12:20] mechdave: sorry, i'm not sure what you mean. i can only see /dev/sda1 and it's ntfs, i'm thinking somehow they're both there. because i can't be using 65GB of space on my ubuntu partition [12:20] fiyawerx, try the game in a dfferent window manager/terminal application also.. as a test [12:20] i guess you hardcore folk always use init=/etc/vim [12:20] turned visual affects off [12:20] alex____, init=/bin/irssi :) [12:20] ??? === Cemud_g_ndiri is now known as cE_cr_c0_efeZ [12:21] hi guys! i have a problem with aMule... i noticed that my servers didn't work, so i deleted them and downloaded a new list and yesterday i was able to see all the servers i also have on eMule on Windows........... today i reopened aMule and i see the old servers mixed with the new ones.... and if i click on a good server, aMule keeps on connecting to unknown ones... and the downloads don't work..... what can i do? [12:21] alex____: are you trying to have a nick that ends with more underscores than mine? [12:21] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/63604/ [12:22] nope... limechat chose it for me [12:22] Ujjwol: what is that the output of?

[12:23] there is output visit that site [12:23] Ujjwol: right, but I am trying to figure out the command that gave you that output === _odo is now known as Odo [12:23] dr_willis, tried aterm - don't have another wm to try just using gnome, im pretty sure i've run into this before [12:24] but can't for the life of me seem to find where to tell it to ignore control keys as an app [12:24] economyx, ok now I have installed gparted too... top right hand side make sure the drop down list has /dev/sda visible [12:24] hi all - i have a usb2 hard disk which I have inserted and can see in dmesg is sdc but its the first time I have used it and it has an ntfs filesystem - what is the easiest way to wipe it and format as ext3 [12:24] steveccc: gparted [12:24] fiyawerx, ive never seen xterm 'steal' the control key.. its very likely its comiz doing it.. IF you are using compiz.. install 'jwm' and try it in there.. its about as small andminimal a window manger as ya can get. [12:25] I cant remove firestarter... i get 'unable to write to /var/cache/apt/' help! [12:25] alex____: because you are being silly. Just stop from starting [12:25] how to on or off kernel module? I mean do not use command rmmod [12:25] how [12:25] alex____, are you trying to remove it as sudo? [12:26] started as root ... much harder than sudo! [12:26] alex____: well first you have to figure out how it starts. Then I would use a live cd and stop it from starting [12:26] demontager: Put it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist if you don't want it to be inserted on boot. [12:26] ... === DefamedPrawn is now known as cens0red [12:26] jrib, what to do [12:26] thANKS [12:26] jrib: thanks installing it now - what is the easiest way to encrypt a whole disk? [12:26] Ujjwol: tell me the command you ran that gave you the output you pastebinned [12:26] if i rm /etc/init.d/firestarter, that should do it right? [12:27] steveccc: don't know about encryption [12:27] alex____: just chmod -x that [12:27] jrib, ls /etc/init.d/ ?dm [12:27] alex____, or just move it.. :) [12:27] Ujjwol: ok. Did you mess around with gdm settings or something? You don't have a /etc/init.d/gdm [12:27] read only filesystem [12:28] chmod ? [12:28] jrib, not at all [12:28] hi guys, got en error "LaTeX Error: File `rotating.sty' not found" but idk what package is missing? Can anyone help me?

[12:28] LjL: right, but I just grepped the output myself to save time :) [12:29] !resetpanel | Elektrikz [12:29] Elektrikz: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:29] jrib, there is any way kill the X process [12:29] Ujjwol: sure, but I don't see how gdm will be starting without a /etc/init.d/gdm [12:29] Ujjwol: of course there is, but you most certainly shouldn't be trying to do that if you don't have a working gdm [12:29] !resetpanel | Elektrikz [12:29] Elektrikz: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:30] bloody firestarter. I should log a bug with serialmonkey [12:30] what's a good gnome burner program?

Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [12:30] tnx! :) [12:30] thanks [12:31] alex____: just use recovery mode, or if that fails because of firestarter too, use a live cd [12:31] jrib: maybe he's asked the same question before, and he's been answered to update-rc.d gdm remove? [12:31] jrib: well no, that wouldn't remove it from init.d anyway [12:31] LjL, i didn't did update-rc or anything like that [12:33] yep i used a live cd to mv /etc/init.d/firestarter to somewhere else [12:33] alex____: then move it back and purge firestarter [12:33] yep! [12:33] great [12:33] booted up fine [12:34] and quitting gparted didn't break anthing! [12:34] I have a laptop with an intel video card and a minimal xorg.conf with one screen on top of the other as a large virtual screen for dual head. This only works in Gnome, other window managers just duplicate the screen -- how can I get this working in other wms? [12:35] kasansweat: which window manager are you thinking about here? [12:35] ziroday - something more minimal, xfce or flux. [12:36] kasansweat: have you tried asking in #xubuntu or the projects respective rooms? [12:36] ziroday - not yet. I am interesting in figuring out how Gnome automatically "knows" how to do this where the others dont. [12:37] kasansweat: ah, well I am not familiar with xfce or fluxbox sorry, all I can recommend you do is ask in the projects respective rooms about the dual screens :) [12:38] jrib, any updates on howto [12:38] ziroday - aha, thanks anyway, I'll poke around and see what i can find. [12:38] can anyone help me please on the best way to encrypt a whole disk [12:38] Ujjwol: what does 'apt-cache policy gdm' return? [12:38] dr_willis, hmm, think ive narrowed it down a little. It appears its just ctrl-numpad that isn't working [12:38] jrib, it's empty [12:38] just display nothing [12:39] Ujjwol: that's not possible, there has to be output. The command is: apt-cache policy gdm [12:39] yes [12:40] halo???? [12:40] that can't return empty, even if a package isn't installed it will show the package and just not show it installed [12:40] Ujjwol: ok, so let's try "apt-cache policy sdf", that will definitely display something [12:40] ngemengepe seh lo???

[12:46] Pici: off my /home [12:46] Lovok, you mean your conly config cis having issues with its statfs feature? or are you havingissues Editing the .conkyrc? [12:47] Lovok: Its possible that you've accidentally set ownership to root if you've been using sudo or gksudo on programs that you don't need to use them against.

[12:47] yaya: tar xjvf file.tar.bz2 [12:47] yudj6yj [12:47] dr_willis: when I run my .conkyrc (located in /home), I get "Conky: statfs '/dev/Jupiter/Ganymede': Permission denied" [12:47] 78jft7j [12:48] does anybody know, where and when mark shuttelworth will next be speaking publicly? [12:48] Lovok: Sorry, I misunderstood the question. [12:48] Pici: No problem :) I might not have been clear enough [12:48] humbolt check the fridge calander, bit off topic for this channel [12:49] Should I run my conky using gksudo ? [12:49] Lovok: no. [12:49] Pici: parently everybody is still asleep in the server channel [12:50] paul68: I'm awake [12:50] paul68: try waiting longer than 60 seconds for a rezsponse [12:50] response [12:51] ikonia: understood but was kicked out from the chanel that's why I had to reask my question [12:51] Any ideas on how I can circumvent the permission issue? [12:52] Lovok what permissions issue [12:52] ikonia: when I run my .conkyrc (located in /home), I get "Conky: statfs '/dev/Jupiter/Ganymede': Permission denied" [12:52] Lovok, hmm.. either you are doing somthign weird.. or thats a very odd /dev/SOMTHING/SOMTHING name... normally it wants a Mount Point [12:53] * Elektrikz rr -.- [12:53] Lovok thats a device file system, what is /dev/Jupiter/Ganymede [12:53] ikonia: It is my partition for (i think) home, using LVM [12:54] Lovok ok - so it should be monitoring where its mounted, not the device file, look at your conky config [12:54] Lovok: use /home not the /dev [12:54] Alright, thanks guys :) Will do [12:55] Lovok, which is to say.. it wants a mount point. :) [12:56] how do i configure pidgin auto response when im away? [12:56] how do i make the files on the desktop sort themselves in rows? [12:56] how do i find answers for myself? [12:56] ask here [12:58] hi [12:58] hi kiamo [12:59] how do i determine what device my cf card reader is? so i can mount it [12:59] im running ubuntu server [13:00] fs -l [13:01] does anybody know if canonical provides developer support? [13:01] how do you mean [13:01] it says "fs command not found, you can get it by sudo apt get etc. then when i apt get it it says it cant find it.. [13:01] nm i mispelled it lol [13:01] noob [13:02] am running into problems with the wifi (Atheros AR5001X) on this laptop: it says the driver is active in the 'Hardware Drivers' window but nothing shows up in iwconfig [13:02] Okay so, yesterday I install Ubuntu 7.04 mistakenly thinking it was the latest. My bad. [13:02] oops [13:02] Today I get 8.04 (didn't feel like using an RC), burn it, try to install. [13:03] 6months release scheduele proving to be rapid [13:03] yet again. [13:03] cambridgecow: what do you mean? [13:03] Hilton: the final is released in 2 days. probably gonna wish you installed intrepid [13:03] Every time Ubuntu tries to start, it freezes up - the bouncing bar stops at some point (different every time) and just stays there forever. Nothing else happens - I let it run for 15 minutes one of the times. [13:04] This includes the Try Live and Install options. [13:04] lucax: whats fs? iv installed it but it says unrecognized operation "-l" [13:04] Did a Check for CD Defects, it says errors found in 6 files ... on an ISO I just downloaded direct from ubuntu.com and burned to a fresh CD? [13:05] Hilton check the checksum on th image so you nkow if the problem is the image or the burn [13:05] Hilton: re-download, chck the md5sum and burn it again slower [13:05] ziroday, i'm looking to get some help making debs I have spent some time working with the MOTU's but I'd really rather just pay someone to help me, that way they work around my schedule [13:05] !md5 > Hilton [13:05] Hilton, please see my private message [13:05] ikonia if you would be so kind to check the server thanks [13:05] cambridgecow: I have no idea about that, sorry. [13:05] no problem, I emailed canonical and I expect they will get back to me sooner or later [13:07] cambridgecow, is thar for an opensource app ? [13:07] jbroome_: Perhaps I should wait until the final is released before I play around any more. It's going to be 2 days before I get to actually play with the OS anyway. [13:07] yes [13:08] curious, i've had to compile a kernel module for an onboard nic, will I have recompile the module and insmod and depmod -a every time I update the kernel? [13:08] cambridgecow, buf you just need working .debs, or plan to have them include on the official repositories ? [13:08] Hilton: you can download and install now to beat the rush. if you keep the machine updated with apt-get dist-upgrade it'll be the same as if you downloaded on release day [13:08] including on the repositories is a stricter process :\ [13:08] how do i determine what device to mount to access my cf card reader? [13:08] joaopinto, i don't anticipate that they will ever be in the repos, but i want to make sure they are correctly built debs... I'm going to be shipping them as part of a suite of applications we're selling [13:09] joaopinto, so they need to be professional quality [13:09] cambridgecow, you can also try requesting at getdeb [13:09] what is getdeb? [13:09] kp [13:09] who is german in here?

Does anyone know of a way to do this en-masse, if I have a lot of text files I want to convert to nice PDFs? [13:10] joaopinto, cool thanks I was unaware of getdeb.net [13:10] hi guys...wonder if I can ask a question: Will Ubuntu 8.10 have greater support for Windows shared folders over a dual boot system, or will SMB be easier to implement. I have a windows system that I'm thinking about dual booting, but my media center accesses media from windows shared folders over SMB [13:11] mikebeecham: you wouldn't use smb to share on a dual boot system [13:11] chombee, you might be able to use imagemagic and it's convert function [13:12] mikebeecham: you'd mount the other partition or drive in Ubuntu [13:12] GleepGlop: it's difficult to explain everything in my first post!! :D I have a mac mini in another room, which utilises SMB to access the media from the PC. If I turn my pc into a dualboot system I want my media center to be able to access those shares irrespective as to whether I am logged into PC or Linux [13:12] Did it get really quiet or am I lagged? [13:13] mikebeecham: you can use samba to smb share it from the linux boot [13:13] mikebeecham: ahh, I see. I 've never had a problem networking my mac, linux, and windows boxes using samba [13:13] whats samba [13:14] dulak: GleepGlop, can I use samba with IP address....it makes sense to do it this way? [13:14] mikebeecham: what do you mean with ip address? as in accessing the share by ip? yes [13:14] I'm using software called Plex, which is a derivative of XBMC [13:14] joaopinto, so I donm't think getdeb will be the best bet for me... the main thing I need built is dc1394 support for the version of gstreamer distributed with hardy, do you think the people at getdeb would know how/want to do that/ [13:14] mikebeecham: instead of hostname? yes, ip is preferred. If i'm sharing on a LAN I always use statics [13:15] mikebeecham: plex works great with a linux smb share, I have it setup from my file server here at home [13:15] pici: tar xjvf file.tar.bz2 ="cannot open:no such file or directory" [13:15] dulak: YAY...someone who knows what I'm talking about when I say PLEX :D [13:15] I created the mediastream skin, by the way :D [13:15] Is it normal to have unauthenticated apt updates? [13:15] I'm trying to manually update the m4 installation in Heron to 1.4.12, how would I do this from source? I've already got the source tarball to use and already configured it once. [13:15] mikebeecham: too bad you have to share to a windows box, because NFS is so much faster. [13:15] instructions on http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_setup_ubuntu_5.10_p5 tell me to install cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data but I get message "E: Package cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data has no installation candidate" can you recommend me what to do? [13:15] mikebeecham: very nice, but that skin effs with my playback for some reason [13:15] cambridgecow, that would mean changing a core library (gstreamer), we don't do such packaging, stability concerns [13:16] GleepGlop: yeah, but I also use Photoshop CS3, which does not work in Ubuntu at present [13:16] or, if someone can recommend me better instructions how to install print server [13:16] mikebeecham: with that skin enabled, if I FF, audio goes WAY out of sync, it's weird [13:16] dulak: what machine do you use it on? Mini? [13:16] mikebeecham: yes [13:16] mikebeecham: I know, that sucks, maybe one day Adobe will listen [13:16] dulak: new plex release is about to drop...hold yer breath for that resolution! [13:16] I now work with Plex [13:17] joaopinto, well so dc1394 ships with bad10.6 which is the version that ships with hardy... hardy is missing libdc1394-22, also are you sure that the version of dc1394 in the newer version of bad isn't compatible with the current gstreamer-core in hardy? [13:17] GleepGlop: hence why I need dualboot [13:17] to make matters worse, I've just gotten CS4...theres' NO way that's going to run!! [13:17] anyone? custom kernel modules should be recompiled and installed after a kernel update? [13:17] joaopinto, hardy doesn't have libdc1394-22 which is required for dc1394src so its not included with hardy [13:17] mikebeecham: never underestimate the wine community [13:17] mikebeecham: you can even use the same ip, same hostname, and same share/workgroup names between linux boot and windows boot, though it might make more sense to use 2 sources to avoid confusion [13:18] I'm trying to manually update the m4 installation in Heron to 1.4.12, how would I do this from source? I've already got the source tarball to use and already configured it once. [13:18] dulak...might have to hit you up when I dual boot the PC to know how thats done, if thats ok? [13:18] !m4 [13:18] In other words, where would I tell m4 to install to? [13:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about m4 [13:18] Why do I have pending apt updates that are unauthenticated? [13:18] hello, why my gedit is so slow every time? [13:18] mikebeecham: I'm around a lot [13:18] will i be able to upgrade from 8.04LTS to 8.10? [13:19] jjdiamond: yes [13:19] dulak: thanks mate....will wait till 8.10 drops then will d/l and install [13:19] cool. [13:19] stever: launching gedit or just general use is slow? [13:20] every time i start gedit with sudo , it is so slowly that will takes more than 5 mins to start, why ? how can do? [13:20] why would people strip symbols from packages? :( [13:20] stever: but it starts ok as a regular user? [13:20] domas: symbols only necessary for devel debugging, unstripped binaries take up more space on the drive as well as more ram for no gain in production [13:20] one other question, if I can....how easy will it be to implement dual-screen? I have an Nvidia card [13:20] stever, have you tried starting it with gksudo/ [13:20] ? [13:20] dulak: on-disk bit is true, in-memory is false [13:21] domas: if u are using intrepid ibex the same happen to me [13:21] domas: absolutely not, try an unstripped apache and compare ram usage with a stripped version [13:21] stever: I second starting it with gksu [13:21] dulak: on the other hand, symbols can be used in daily system administrator work (like oprofile usage :) [13:21] gksu? or gksudo? [13:21] How can I switch over to a Gui boot in Ubuntu? Right now it is all text at login. [13:21] I always use gksu [13:21] dulak: you're probably not seeing the difference between VSIZE and actual memory use :) [13:22] dulak: the page is on disk, it doesn't have to be in memory unless referenced [13:22] cannot extract using tar xjvf, why? [13:22] cloud-ieee, did you install the server or desktop client? [13:22] just take sudo with gksu? [13:22] cloud-ieee, can you start the gui with "startx" [13:22] stever, use gksudo [13:22] Cambrigde, I installed the client through a network install. [13:22] Where would I tell m4 to install to, so the cli comes up with my version instead of ubuntu's version? [13:22] stever: hit alt+F2: gksu gedit [13:22] cloud-ieee, but did you install the server or desktop edition? [13:22] domas: again, run apache side by side and get back to me on that ram usage thing === Raynes|ZzZ is now known as Raynes [13:23] Using 8.04 if I lock the screen I can't unlock it unless I switch user. I get an unknown user in my logs, but the user exists in /etc/passwd [13:23] does any one knoe how to delete the arrow uppon gnome-menu? [13:23] hey everyone. I am having some trouble installing 8.10 into my Hardy system after a kernal update (not to Intrepid). I have an install log and it has "Failed to build fglrx-8.542 with DKMS". Any thoughts? [13:23] Sorry, 8.10 is the for the ATi Driver [13:23] dulak: do you sum up data in top/ps columns too? :-))))) [13:24] KDB9000, are you doing a clean install or an upgrade? [13:24] sorry, but it do nothing while i do so [13:24] Cambridge, I installed the Desktop client [13:24] Should I run this in the terminal? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:24] cloud-ieee, what happens when you type: startx [13:24] stever: hit alt+F2: gksu gedit.... i did it, but return nothing [13:24] Cambrigde, currently I am running this command : sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:24] cambridgecow, I removed the old version from DKMS so I would say clean. I had an old version for one of my other kernals but it broke after the kernal upgrade. [13:24] cloud-ieee, if you don't have a desktop installed the, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will install it for you, but if you installed the desktop edition it should already have been installed [13:25] KDB9000, so you want to upgrade to intrepid/ [13:25] ? [13:25] dulak: even if those pages would be read into memory, they'd be released after any system work, due to LRU policies ;-) [13:25] dulak: and symbol tables have great locality :) [13:25] Does anyone have any thoughts about the following: using 8.04 if I lock the screen I can't unlock it unless I switch user. I get an unknown user in my logs, but the user exists in /etc/passwd and it's getting pretty annnoying [13:25] dulak: what the heck would apache comparison tell me? [13:25] cambridgecow, not right now. Right now I just want to get my ATi card working with direct rendering again. [13:25] Cambridge, the network install gave me the option to install the desktop or the desktop suite. I chose the desktop install. For some reason it lead me to the text interface and not the desktop gui. [13:26] what would you use to transcode .vob to .avi? (xvid or whatever) [13:26] If I installed the cups-pdf package, anyone know how I can print to PDF from the command line, e.g. using lpr? It looks like I need t oset the $PRINTER environment variable, but I don't know what to. The device name of the printer seems to be cups-pdf:/ but that doesn't work [13:26] so I'm not sure what you want to do, why did you want to upgrade to 8.1 [13:26] 8.10 [13:26] hi, can anyone help me with instalation of ubuntu 8.04 x64 ? [13:26] jarussi, what is the problem? [13:26] !ask | jarussi [13:27] jarussi: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [13:27] gksu is as slowly as sudo? my god!! [13:27] sorry =) [13:27] who can help me [13:27] stever, do you have the same problem when using sudo with other commands? [13:28] no,just gedit [13:28] stever try changing your password [13:28] sudo gedit is very slowly [13:28] stever, never mind [13:28] ok, I was stupid last night to upgrade to interpid and seems like that they killed xserver-xgl from it. My problem is that now when firefox loads a big page everything just stops for a while, as the X server is eating all the CPU possible and everything else is waiting (that wasn't happening with xgl). I'm using nvidia, compiz, x86_64 machine, any ideas ot should I open a bug in launchpad? [13:28] chang my root passwd? [13:28] !intrepid | krokodilerian [13:28] krokodilerian: 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 [13:28] stever, you shouldn't have a root password only a userpassword [13:28] !root | stever [13:28] stever: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:28] cambridgecow, one, it isn't fully released and isn't fully released till the 31 of this month plus I already have 8.04 and haven't seen the upgrade button yet, second, it won't solve my problem, I will still need to install the ATi drivers. [13:29] hey [13:29] domas: I have seen the differences in real ram usage from stripped apache vs. non-stripped. You can argue it all you like, but I have SEEN it. Whether it's an issue with apache specifically or symbols, I don't care, I just know my servers run leaner if I strip. [13:29] i've instaled it on a particion of my hd, c: - formated the particion and stuff .. created the swap, and the / particion too .. installed and when I restarte, gets te DISK BOOT FAILURE thing .. anyone knows what it can be? [13:29] does any one here have problems connecting to an wpa protected network using ipw2100? [13:29] dulak: how do you see 'real ram usage'? [13:29] domas: also, imo if you are to the point where you need symbols, you are probably already gonna be rolling your own packages for production [13:29] Where is Ubuntu's m4 1.4.10 package installed to? [13:30] dulak: just used the top command [13:30] dulak: oh, we have all custom packages for our site ;-) [13:30] stever, thats a known bug of sudo [13:30] dulak: but here I'm deploying my private server :) [13:30] KDB9000, right above you said "hey everyone. I am having some trouble installing 8.10 into my Hardy system after a kernal update (not to Intrepid)" I have no clue what you are trying to do b/c 8.10 is INTREPID [13:30] hey anyone fimilair with airodump [13:30] is there an app for network file sharing? [13:30] dulak: anyway, there's no good tool telling how much memory does stuff like apache use [13:30] stever, looking around on the forums its looks like most people have been able to fix this problem by doing a clean re-install [13:30] yes, jjdiamond, try konqueror [13:31] Cambridge, I found this....apt-get install gnome-core [13:31] cambridgecow, and then i send another message clearing that up, saying 8.10 for the ATi driver [13:31] schoft thanks. [13:31] re-install what? gedit? [13:31] dulak: so I have no idea how you could get the 'leaner' thing ;-) [13:31] join #bash [13:31] I think this is what I need. Thank you for your assistance! [13:31] Uhm, anyone familiar with airodump ? [13:31] i can't get it to work [13:31] schoft, konqueror is a web browser, no? [13:31] no, [13:32] stever, which luckily only takes about 30 minutes, plus if you have a /home partition you won't lose your data [13:32] file sharing for linux & windows [13:32] hello [13:32] ubuntu is very nice [13:32] KDB9000, so you want to install the ATI driver in hardy right? [13:32] o wait its a webbrowser aswell [13:32] hehe [13:32] ubottu you are the man! [13:32] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:32] vad gör alla här inne? [13:33] kan någon svara? [13:33] Kottizen: english plz [13:33] schoft, i don't think i have a K desktop environment. or do i..... [13:33] Ronnie: OK. [13:33] Bye :) [13:33] Kottizen, what is your native language [13:33] cambridgecow, yes. I know ATi driver 8.10 has a GUI install and used that but I get an error. I also tried building the deb but I get an error. [13:33] domas: VSZ is code+stack+data, and RSS is simply resident in ram right? [13:33] you can get the program by typing this: sudo apt-get install konqueror [13:33] KDB9000, have you tried envy? [13:33] cambridgecow: Swedish === juro is now known as Guest19299 [13:33] !swedish [13:33] Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [13:34] cambridgecow, envy? [13:34] !envyng [13:34] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [13:34] ok, i will read the guider carefully [13:34] !envy [13:34] Ubottu: Can you speak Swedish? [13:34] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:34] schoft, i use the add/remove applications manager [13:34] !se | Kottizen [13:34] Kottizen: please see above [13:34] domas: VSZ gets a big reduction, RSS gets a much smaller reduction [13:34] KDB9000, you can use EnvyNG to install the driver for you [13:34] OK. Bye. [13:34] besides can i user RTX under ubuntu? [13:35] domas: I have gone from being able to run 300 apache processes to closer to 400 simply stripping binaries on a heavily loaded client's server [13:35] dulak: all of those RSS pages are shared... [13:35] !rtx [13:35] use RTX [13:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about rtx [13:35] question about a version number: 1.3.0~RC1really1.2.0-2ubuntu3 ... what does that mean? is it 1.3 or 1.2? :) [13:35] stever, what is rtx? [13:35] that's from http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/rubygems ... I'm just looking into certain packages before I upgrade. [13:35] because our company use rtx insides [13:35] can somebody tell me what is rtx [13:35] tecent rtx [13:35] dulak: simply the fact that you are running 400 apache processes tells something bad about you :( [13:36] nevans: try #ubuntu-motu [13:36] jrib: thanks. will do. [13:36] domas: as opposed to running what on a web server? [13:36] cambridgecow, will it install the ATi drivers or the generic one? [13:36] nevans, that means it is version 1.3.0-RC1really1.2.0-2 [13:36] KDB9000, it will install the LATEST ATI drivers [13:36] dulak: proper apache?! :) [13:36] nevans, that means it is version 1.3.0-RC1really1.2.0 [13:37] domas: proper apache? [13:37] dulak: see, you allocate lots of memory in all other places to idle [13:37] cambridgecow, yeah... but what upstream version does that correspond to? [13:37] cambridgecow, I will give it a try and see what I get. [13:37] 1.3.0-RC1really1.2.0 [13:37] anyone know if those 3G stuff mentioned in 8.10 release notes. Will I be able to use it with on my kubuntu since it's the same thing or is it for gnome? [13:37] dulak: well, reduce blocking. major issue with apache is blocking when writing to user [13:37] the -2ubuntu3 is what is added by the packager [13:37] dulak: lingerd + big kernel write queues help a lot [13:37] so check out 1.3.0-RC1 [13:38] dulak: lots of big sites set maxclients to 50 or so [13:38] Tobbytus, the only difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu is the Window Manager, the core code is the same, so you will be able to use 3G with Kubuntu if you can use it with Ubuntu, but the GUI will be different [13:38] ok ... i'll change my question, can anyone help me do a dual-boot? [13:38] !dualboot [13:38] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [13:38] domas: lingerd looks nifty [13:38] tkz! =) [13:38] dulak: of course, it is possible to use squid/etc for client-side serving [13:38] !google [13:38] Erm... I've no idea what to search for. Use !google keyword(s)! [13:38] google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux === Guest19299 is now known as juro [13:38] cambridgecow, how will the gui be diffrent? will it just look uglyer? or? [13:39] Tobbytus, Kubuntu is KDE and ubuntu is Gnome === juro is now known as Guest43678 [13:39] ok, Thanks for the answer:) [13:39] Tobbytus, I've never used Kubuntu and "Uglier" is a matter of opinion, if you're asking for mine then yes KDE is uglier then gnome [13:39] dulak: if you have brave soul, you can set nolinger sockopt inside apache ;-) [13:40] thats most efficient :) [13:40] just broken clients may be more broken [13:40] domas: lingerd looks like it will make a huge difference, I never heard of it [13:40] has anyone used asterisks on ubuntu [13:40] hi, folks. i can't submit a bug report for "skype" under ubunu ditrubution. it says "There is no package name 'skype' published in Ubuntu" [13:40] ? [13:40] Question: If I install the 8.10 RC, will it update itself to the official release when possible or will it stay with (possibly) outdated code within? [13:40] dulak: don't forget to increase write queue, default is tiny :) [13:40] no RTX? [13:40] dulak: anyway, in any proper performance model, symbols is 0.000001% of cost [13:40] redwhitewaldo: because there isn't a skype package in the ubuntu repositories [13:41] dulak: though, if you have them, you can resolve all 99.99999% costs better [13:41] airodump Unsupported hardware link type 803 << anyone familiar with this error [13:41] jrib: so what can i do if i think i've found a bug with skype's relationship wiht ubuntu?

[13:42] I have a question about ubuntu 8.10 [13:42] joaopinto: terminal says "segmentation fault" [13:42] redwhitewaldo: "skype's relationship"? what does that mean? If it's a bug in the package, file it against the place you got the package from (medibuntu)? If it's a bug with skype, file a bug with skype [13:42] hellow friends am looking for you help i installed my usb network card twe444ub using ndiswrapper but it does not associate to the access point what is help you have [13:42] I would like to know 'apt-get update and upgrade' to 8.10 from 8.04, Can I? [13:42] domas: what are the write queues you are talking about? a sysctl setting? [13:42] !upgrade > neo_chan [13:42] neo_chan, please see my private message [13:43] dulak: net.ipv4.tcp_wmem and net.core.wmem_max [13:43] jrib: well, by "skype's relationship with ubuntu", i mean that perhaps the problem only arises on ubuntu computers [13:43] thank you for jrib. I will look at that. [13:43] redwhitewaldo, that is a skype *only* problem you need to report it to the skype company, not to ubuntu [13:43] joaopinto: i see. [13:45] domas: thanks for the info, you just made my job so much easier on at least 3 clients [13:45] I can't log in to my X session because once compiz starts it goes white. I'd like to disable compiz from starting with X. How can I do that? Failsafe GNOME works just fine. [13:45] Hello? [13:45] now you will be able to run 500 apache children! :) [13:45] if i install a package that is "static", does that mean that the program is more likely to work? what does "static" mean? Is it preferred to get static packages? [13:45] where can I find a channel for ns2 ? [13:45] dulak: there're more tricks around. like kernel-level connection filters, etc [13:45] I think it's because I just started using Direct Rendering maybe? [13:45] what is the difference between ssh user@hostname -X and ssh user@hostname -Y [13:46] cambridgecow: one is -X and other is -Y [13:46] can someone help me fix video and audio everytime I run a vid in mozilla it closes [13:46] 안녕하세요?

Someone please help me get into gui mode?? :( [13:47] domas: lingerd will make the biggest difference there I think, enough so we can cut back on apache processes and extend the server life, I have been pushing for a new beefier server but this should fix it right up [13:47] Is it easy to hack ubuntu? [13:47] Ljl, yes i usually do. but one program i need is not in official repos. [13:47] cloud-ieee: gnome-core doesn't install X. why don't you just install "ubuntu-desktop"? [13:47] powlr93, no it is not easy at all [13:47] dulak: you can get more performance with apache2.2 or lighttpd and fastcgi processes too [13:47] does anybody know what the REAL difference between -X and -Y in ssh are? [13:47] powlr93: sure, apt-get source PACKAGE, hack away [13:47] dulak: if thats your problem :) === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [13:47] LjL, okay I will try that. :) [13:48] dulak: we have hundreds of servers with MaxClients 50 here ;-) [13:48] redwhitewaldo: well, a static binary simply means that all (or at least most) of the required libraries are built right into the binary itself. so yes, that will make it more likely to work generally speaking (and also less cooperating with the rest of the system, sometimes) [13:48] jrib, lol [13:48] cambridgecow, well it isn't completely up to date. ATi released 8-10,envy only shows 8-6 [13:48] domas: it's just an over loaded box and they won't spring for a second one to distribute the load [13:49] dulak: overloaded as in cpu overloaded? [13:49] LjL do you think a static deb will fix a "segmentation fault" problem when i use a non-static deb? [13:49] Àú±â¿ä? [13:49] LjL, ran: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop in terminal.

[15:02] esox: I can't understand the error messages [15:02] skorasaurus: it must list a device as you can see dmesg sees it [15:02] this is what dmesg says: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=941757 [15:02] fxauto: do you want those for an already installed server, or do you want a new server installation [15:02] i can do it again. [15:03] can someone tell me if I added this code to my sources list in the right place? [15:03] ikonia, it says that it cant load gnome settings deamon, [15:03] skorasaurus dmesg is dynamic I need to know what it says now, not what it says in an old thread [15:03] frogscott, put in paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url [15:03] musictoto: new server installation [15:03] esox it says more than that, the most common cause will be your video card [15:03] esox: do you have an nvidai/ati card ? [15:04] fxauto: try www.apachefriends.org [15:04] frogscott, it doesn't matter where you add the line just as long as it is the right syntax [15:04] ikonia, I removed nvidia drivers and started with free driver : same thing [15:04] musictoto: thanks ;-) [15:04] esox: how did you install the nvidia drivers initially [15:04] i have 1 dumb question tho. there is the hostname and there is the domain. well lets say the domain is riojams.com the host name would be like chat.riojams.com or streams.riojams.com or would the hostname be something else? i looked online to read about it but it isnt very clear to me. [15:04] fxauto: it works like a charm for me, their xampp project [15:04] ikonia, with envyng [15:04] is like riojamsserver the hostname? [15:04] slayton, I added it but can u check the sytax against the instruction? [15:04] skorasaurus: your hostname is your machien name, call it what you want [15:04] esox: ok, then I think we hve a winner [15:04] or is ftp.riojams.com the subdomain and hostname? [15:05] ikonia, wich means ? because before the update, everything was ok [15:05] is subdomain and hostname the same? but if htat is the case why would i have a riojamsserver ? [15:05] frogscott, just run sudo apt-get update... if it works then the syntax is correct [15:05] esox: it means the envy setup is broke with the current kernel [15:05] skorasaurus: the hostname is your machine name [15:05] how do i find the name of my network? [15:05] skorasaurus: sorry no tyou [15:05] ikonia, what can I do? [15:05] sambagirl: the hostname is your machine name [15:05] ok so lets say sambagirl is the hostname [15:05] i get it. [15:05] ok ok [15:05] that makes sense [15:05] sambagirl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:06] esox: first thing I'd do is force the xorg.conf to use the vesa driver [15:06] esox: see if that gets your gdm loading [15:06] slayton, ok it worked now problem I am having is mozilla 3.0 with flash 10 is crashing and this was the suppossed fix [15:06] so i was right so when i use lets say network neighborhood i can see fooserver as the hostname or lets say sambas_pc aka would be a hostname yes? [15:06] ikonia: np [15:06] Anyone :< Aircrack problems :< unsupported hardware link ?? [15:06] ikonia, I did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, no improvement [15:06] sambagirl: it can be [15:06] esox: that won't do anything [15:06] ikonia: http://pastebin.ca/1238683 [15:06] esox: xorg is dynamic now [15:07] ikonia, what do I do to force vesa =driver ? [15:07] schoft: there is on off site. [15:07] skorasaurus /dev/sdc [15:07] frogscott all adding the line to your file did is allows apt to see the new repository, if you fix flash then you need to install a new program hosted in that repo [15:07] esox open your xorg.conf and in your video card section do Driver "vesa" [15:07] ikonia, it also says it could be a bonobo issue [15:07] ikonia, ok [15:07] frogscott, btw who is hosting this repo? how do you know you can trust them? [15:07] ikonia: is that the mount point ? [15:08] hi, if i open a window to browse a drive or directory and i click view > view as list ... how do i tell it to do that all the time? ... because as soon as i dclick a new folder it switches back to this icon view...

[15:16] I would [15:16] skorasaurus: is there /dev/sdc1 [15:16] but listen [15:17] its worse, and same error message, this time I copied the fisrt error message :http://pastebin.com/m52349189 [15:17] is there such release?

[15:17] frogscott, I don't know the flash issues well enough to provide you with a definitive solution [15:17] after i come out of a suspend, networkmanager picks up my last known wireless ap, and connects, but if i want to connect via cat5, it doesn't connect at all. how can i fix this? [15:17] skorasaurus: ok thats fine, so it looks like that disk does not contain a reable partition table by ubuntu [15:17] frogscott, all I know is that I unintalled all the adobe flash stuff and I'm using gnash and it works pretty good for the most part [15:17] does anyone know the channel for gnome-do? [15:18] ikonia: so, does that mean I will be unable to read the data on it ? [15:18] this wasn't a problem with gutsy, btw. just hardy [15:18] * skorasaurus sighes. [15:18] skorasaurus: in it's current configuration yes [15:18] hopefully it's fixed in intrepid, as this is getting really annoying [15:18] ikonia: is the hard drive dead, or is it just something not supported in the kernel ? [15:18] skorasaurus: could be either [15:18] skorasaurus: what is the hard disk, eg: where did it coem from, what was it doing before ? [15:19] * skorasaurus doesn't have another comp to try it out on [15:19] slayton, thanks I will look for adobe...where do I find out if it isinstalled? [15:19] any help with networkmanager? [15:19] it was from my iBook, which suddenly died. it would boot up to even a livecd; after diagnosing the problem on several forums, it was a logic board problem [15:20] Is there version of ubuntu like it was in 7.10 ? [15:20] drcode: what ? [15:20] with minimum install? [15:20] (i had experienced the exact symptoms 5 months earlier, and had the logic board replaced, this 2nd time around, my applecare had expired. [15:20] eef [15:20] drcode: there is but it is more straight forward to install ubuntu and remove what you don't want [15:20] prasad: does it work ? [15:20] I want to save disk [15:20] ikonia: the computer would not even start up at all [15:20] skorasaurus: ok, so this will have a pre-intel mac disk label [15:21] ikonia: correct. [15:21] drcode: installing and removing will save disk [15:21] I prefer to install only what I need [15:21] it was from a g4, ppc ibook (circa 2005) [15:21] skorasaurus: I need to do a little proddingo n that === ma10 is now known as Guest52925 [15:21] skorasaurus: I'm not %100 up the mac disk labels before the intel era [15:21] i have ubuntu 8.10 and when moving (drag & drop) files with nautilus, it closes the nautilus window and after opens users home dir.

[15:21] hey! i need little help with my wibu installation [15:21] it's still an hfs+ formatted hd [15:22] skorasaurus: let me find out about the partition table on the macs [15:22] squee_: There is an application called AccessGrid which is not an official package but very good for such things as town hall meetings and so on, for which an Ubuntu deb is at http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/research/accessgrid/software/debian/ [15:22] k [15:22] hi, I've got a fresh install of Hardy (install from the alt-installer) which i made at the weekend. I did the kernel upgrade today (to 2.6.24.21) but on reboot i get "Error 2: bad file or directory type" from Grub. Rebooting and using the older kernel is fine. [15:22] skorasaurus: file system should be fine - it's the partition table that may be a problem, or the disk is dead [15:22] The kernel files etc all appear to be in the right place. Other people have this problem due to 128-byte and 256-byte inode compatibility issues with Grub and ext3. However, this is a fresh install/fresh disk and i thought the version of grub with Hardy was patched against this. Has anyone else seen this or do you know how to solve it? [15:22] thank you ikonia [15:22] * skorasaurus really hopes the disk is not dead [15:22] skorasaurus: is that hfs+ drive comming from your mac ? [15:22] ikonia: how it called? [15:22] * skorasaurus has most, but not all things backed up [15:22] thdhdthdthtdhthhth [15:22] gwsrgwg [15:22] Flyboy: what file system are you using for your root file system [15:22] etytyey [15:22] ext3 === ma101 is now known as ma10 [15:22] musictoto: i removed the hard drive from the mac [15:22] but, es [15:22] yes [15:22] pppppppppppppuuussssiiiiiii ggggggggaa [15:22] genii, Thanks alot, i'll look into that [15:23] squee_: You're welcome [15:23] skorasaurus: did you have Journaling enabled on that mac ? [15:23] musictoto, i'm not sure. [15:24] skorasaurus: because ubuntu can't read from hfs+ drives with journaling enabled... if it was enabled, you have to disable Journaling using a mac computer [15:24] musictoto: it was from a general consumer ibook g4, so i'm not sure if I had configured it or not. [15:24] musictoto: meh. [15:24] ikonia: it's ext3 without LVM [15:25] Flyboy: so how did the file system get the larger block inodes ? [15:25] skorasaurus: i had the Journaling problem, there's only one way to solve it. === klac is now known as lacqui [15:25] skorasaurus: but if it isn't that, i can't help you any further (my knowledge isn't big) :) [15:25] musictoto: which is to disable journaling in mac os x ? [15:25] Quick question - Does Kkathman still hang around much? Or does he usually just randomly show up..

[15:25] skorasaurus: to disable journaling in mac osx, you must use 'diskutily' [15:26] hey guys I hope some one can help me with my problem, Im using an external screen with my laptop (dvi), so when I start X I managed via nvidia-settings that the laptop screen gets disabled, and the ext.screen enabled, but since I dont want to chose 1920x1200 (native resolution) I want to stick to a lower one, however the nvidia-settings dont offer the widescreen ones, like 1280x800, and now that Ive chosen 1280x960 everthing (especially [15:26] Thanks ikonia, sorry! [15:26] ikonia, I have no idea... I've just been googling around trying to work out what causes that error. The kernel image files etc all appear to be in the right place and there's no symlinks etc. The inode problem seems to crop up quite a bit but maybe I'm following the wrong path. I thought the version of grub in hardy was patched anyway [15:26] I just installed ubuntu desktop, when I try to run install build-essential it fails saying the package is not available... [15:26] skorasaurus: read here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2346494 [15:27] Is there something I have to do to get ubuntu to update it's known packages? [15:27] mxweas: do all your updates first.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. then try again [15:27] mxweas: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential [15:27] skorasaurus: i'm not sure if your problem is Journaling-related, but it could be if it's a hfs+ drive [15:27] thx [15:28] Scunizi: You think he needs all the updates applied first ? [15:28] musictoto how would journeling affect a partition table ? [15:28] does anyone know the channel for gnome-do? [15:29] ikonia: i'm not very skilled with ubuntu :) what's a partition table [15:29] musictoto and ikonia: i'm not trying to write to the disk, just read it, so i can copy my data over to my ext3-formatted hd [15:29] ok one other question, I plan to use this as a server. I was having trouble downloading the server version so I installed the desktop version. Is the only difference a GUI and things like apache, mysql and php in the install menu? [15:29] * skorasaurus imagines that ikonia is putting his hands in his face after reading musictoto's response [15:29] pen: Try looking on irc.gimp.net [15:30] * musictoto is sorry about that [15:30] thats it...I'm downloading 8.04 and I'm turning my PC into a dual-boot machine...I'm gonna do it...dont no-one try and stop me [15:30] i'm serious...I'll do it [15:30] Can I install in Ubuntu a second version of ubuntu to another partition [15:31] anyone?

[16:42] i used acronis, using emergency cd... it will make a backup outside OS, i mean not in windows or linux [16:43] itsatrick: did you see if this is an issue for ibex? [16:43] what do u mean ikonia, bottom line is that if u know the password you can really mess up your system [16:43] itsatrick: rather, are others having a similar issue with ibex [16:43] itsatrick: no, it should work right now.....unless your cd md5sum was messed up..but anyways #ubuntu+1 is where you really should go for intrepid ibex support...even burning a cd for it :D [16:44] can some tell me the difference between linux-headers-(version), and linux-headers-(version)-generic that seem to be available in the system update today?? [16:44] Thanks Robb_M and mongolai [16:44] itsatrick: good luck [16:45] is crossover for free today? [16:46] yes [16:46] mongolai: the linux-headers-(version) is most likely a vanilla setup [16:46] crossover is free today on the lame duck special [16:46] why :D [16:46] mongolai: linux-headers-(version)-generic is probably ubuntu's generic headers [16:46] anybody else that needs intrepid ibex (ubuntu 8.10) support should go to #ubuntu+1 as this room is NOT the place to get help for it....we can only support Hardy (8.04) and below....its just 2 days people! :D [16:46] Paddy_EIRE: Sorry, your hint didn't work for me. In the meantime I downloaded (svn: ) and compiled an other Ricoh driver, but i doesn't for so far.

[16:46] karab4_4: look up lame duck challenge and you see why === Raynes_ is now known as Raynes [16:47] kitche: OK. Thanks. So you're saying that one is ubuntu specific and the other is just the vanilla kernel headers?

[17:00] help i have a virus [17:00] otac is the restricted driver installed? [17:00] joshritger: well, like I said, I'm not too familliar with envy, but it seems that there is a running kernel/header mismatch when you installed the 24-21 headers [17:00] yoyoned: I have tried different keymaps. And it works fine in OS X. I have set VMWare to do direct transfer of keys, and use the standard Apple keymapping. [17:00] and in synaptic there is a nvidia tv out package, get it.

I don't know how windows machine does it [17:13] zinake: a few years [17:13] but when i put the username and password for the xubuntu machine is still doesnt work [17:13] slayton: someone said the problem was fixed in the latest kernel update "2.6.24-12" [17:14] oops 2.6.24-21 [17:14] SuperATP1: might be a samba config problem.. might be something else.. hard to tell [17:14] joshritger: just one last thought, did you reboot the computer after installing the new kernel? [17:15] andrewneedshelp: it's quite possible that it doesn't support USB on boot then... "(01:08:10 PM) Bit_Breaker: its a BIOS feature called USB_HDD emulation"... you might want to look in your BIOS to see if it supports that. [17:15] hi! Anyone have a link on how to setup raid 10 during install? [17:15] SuperATP1: it sounds like SAMBA configuration [17:15] mongolai: yes I did reboot, I actually did twice, I reverted back to the old kernel so my graphics would work again [17:15] http://down.codeweavers.com/ [17:15] So how can I upgrade my Kernel to 21 from 19?

I found them before but I can't find them now [17:19] !interpid>ubuntu__ [17:19] ubuntu__, please see my private message [17:19] hello, is there a way to disconnect and reconnect a USB device remotely, to make the automounted retry to automount the device? [17:19] i only have ssh access to the machine [17:20] ganymede: what kind of usb device? [17:21] how do i find out what is using alsa [17:21] geremy: it's a USB hard disk drive and it is at /dev/sdb. i don't to run eject on it in case i can't reconnect it [17:22] ganymede: why can't just umount it? [17:23] wow [17:23] it feels so good to be back in ubuntu [17:23] i've been away for way too long [17:23] geremy: i'd like the mounting to be taken care of by the automounter, so when the device is disconnected, the mount directory will be removed so the next time it is plugged in and mounted automatically, there won't be an underscreo appended to the mount location, because that would break symlinks [17:23] atheros 5001x+ chipset... running ibex... after last upgrade NetworkManager doesnt see wireless after reboot [17:23] nobody can help me i think... [17:23] geremy: it usually mounts to /media/DISK but if i mount if there manually, then next time i plug it in, it will mount to /media/DISK_ since the driectory already exists and that would break symlinks [17:24] ganymede: you're symlinking to a usb hard drive? why not just copy the files over? [17:24] hey there [17:24] if i go to hardware manager, deactivate driver, reactivate driver and then select configure connections in Network manager then it loads and works? anyone have and idea where its breaking? [17:25] geremy: because the symlink is into a folder with 500 GB of content, and the laptop hard disk is only 80 GB [17:25] has anyone experience with compiling the v4l-dvb modules and vdr ? [17:25] Is there a way to resize NTFS partitions? [17:26] anyway, I just to know if 8.10 will be a stable release for production use or if is going to be like edgy that were tried a lot of new features and were recomended to be used by ppl that could find a solutions from problems that might appear [17:26] Serraphyn: I'm sure there is [17:26] did it a while ago [17:26] ganymede: well, that's a pretty good reason. [17:26] Serraphyn: I would use Partimage/Gparted. however its risky. Please backup items [17:26] hey everybody! [17:26] Serraphyn: gparted [17:26] Serraphyn: risky, backup please :P [17:27] ok so I'm need to boot into kernel 2.6.24-21 but my grub boot menu only has 2.6.24-19?? How do I get 21 so I can use ssh over wifi? [17:27] again: has anyone experience with compiling the v4l-dvb modules and vdr ? [17:27] nope [17:27] hmm [17:27] ganymede: not sure, you could always force the automounter to mount at the given location, but that doesn't actually certify that you'll always get it at the same spot, just that IF you get it, itll be at that spot [17:27] Serraphyn: also, defrag the NTFS partition before doing [17:27] Lamo: do you have two different linux installs on your machine? [17:27] nope [17:27] dual boot with vista [17:27] is there anybody from turkey? [17:27] Serraphyn: if you have some place to backup everything [17:28] don't have a windows active on PC anymore :) had 2 partitions a 45gig and a 155g gig [17:28] Probably really simple - I have just finished applying some theme stuff on my laptop, but the only thing i cant seem to affect is the "File Edit Options View" bar colors. The window around it, scrollbars, all that is themed, but cant seem to change those main UI colors... [17:28] any ideas how/where? [17:28] Serraphyn: just copy everything over, completely reformat your ntfs to a bigger one and copy back [17:28] Serraphyn: much faster than waiting 3 days and nights :P [17:28] Lamo: with the kernel update it should have updated grub for you automatically.. in the interim.. sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change all references to 19 to 21.. make sure you actually have 21 installed. [17:28] geremy: how do i force the automounted to reconsider all plugged in devices? [17:29] again2: has anyone experience with compiling the v4l-dvb modules and vdr ? [17:29] Serraphyn: agreed with armageddon [17:29] ganymede: no idea, honestly [17:29] Anyone know how I can downgrade perl from 5.10 to 5.8?

[17:30] yoyoned: I'm using vim for everything [17:30] armageddon: Stupid problem, but I really don't want to go with another OS. [17:30] Serraphyn: U can use DD and Netcat from a live CD as well [17:30] SiON42X: so it does not work with 5.10 at all ? [17:30] thanks my friends... do you think crossover is better than wine and playonlinux? [17:30] armageddon: nada. [17:31] Bit_Breaker, huh? [17:31] unitedpotsmokers: i don't know... wine is not bad, is it :) [17:31] Lamo: you also might consider just going to the terminal and typing.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. that will bring your system up to the latest of what's in the repos. [17:31] if I'm correct, LTS is a stable release, LTS+1 is like a testing for new features release, LTS+2 is more eye candy release? I'm trying to understand the difference between each release [17:31] Hi. I'm installed ubuntu but having problems with booting ubuntu. Boot menu does not appears and system directly boots windows xp. [17:31] SiON42X: so what is the actual OS ? Ubuntu ? Try apt-get remove pearl-5.10 and apt-get install perl-5.8 or similar to this [17:31] Anyone know of a way I can tell the mouse to click from the terminal? [17:31] armageddon: I'll give it a go. [17:31] yeah wine is not bad, i always play winamp using wine, but a little problem, i cant run bearshare application using wine, it can install but it cant run bearshare [17:32] Scunizi: If I search kernel I get linux-headers-2.6.24-21 & linux-headers-2.6.24-21-generic. would like to upgrade but it's my work laptop and I can't have it down right. [17:32] SiON42X: do apt-cache search perl first and look for the exact names [17:32] now [17:32] armageddon: Good command to know, thanks. [17:32] deni_sk [17:32] SiON42X: there is also aptitude [17:32] !release>dxdemetriou [17:32] dxdemetriou, please see my private message [17:32] what is that for a chat???? [17:32] SiON42X: it has all of them, install, search, remove .... [17:33] izzit ok if i install crossover and wine both? or i need to uninstall wine? what u think my friends? [17:33] does anyone know if there is a way to force the automounter to remount a drive? or all drives? [17:33] nutzer: #ubuntu-offtopic os one. [17:33] Hi, i'm currently running Ubuntu, and i want to go to Kubuntu, at the download page, it says "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer." does that mean checking the box gives me a graphical installer, or the text based one? [17:33] Lamo: do the sudo apt-get lines I gave you and let it do it's thing.. are you running any vm type software on the lappy? [17:33] unitedpotsmokers: you can have both [17:33] thanks yoyoned [17:33] again3: has anyone experience with compiling the v4l-dvb modules and vdr ? [17:33] i want to try it now [17:33] unitedpotsmokers: bearshare is a gnutella client, just like limewire. limewire will work on ubuntu, i think [17:33] I run a webserver and when it reboots /usr/sbin/apache2 doesn't start so I always have to start it manually.

[17:36] armageddon: they will conflict if both get loaded, one may need blacklisting [17:36] izzit gtk-nutella have function like bearshare? i mean we can meet friend, add people like myspace? [17:36] sdf: taken out considering it's no longer in development bitchx2 should be used instead [17:36] Scunizi: ok gonna go for it. worried about gnome updates taking forever [17:36] sdf: you running it on the command line? try irssi [17:37] DCC SEND "dickrapeyou" 0 0 0 [17:37] the hard disk got bad sectors and ia was unable to boot ubuntu [17:37] using xubuntu, and my 'shared folder' gui is greyed out, anyone know why ? [17:37] is there a way to get some files off root.disk [17:37] Lamo: nope.. really depends on how many.. on a fresh install you might have 100+ but even that does it's thing in the background and you can keep working.. at 100+ it might take 10 minutes to download and process.. [17:38] tavish: Have you tried booting with a ubuntu live cd ? [17:38] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <---isn't working also tried sudo apt-get upgrade -d [17:38] izzit gtk-nutella have function like bearshare? i mean we can meet friend, add people like myspace?

[17:45] tavish: sorry, I never used the windows install [17:45] Pici, Why? [17:45] tavish: but how could you get defective sectors that way ?

Sorry if I am asking a stupid question but how do I add the network status button and the minimise button to the taskbar?

[18:15] bttb: did you get lirc working ? :P [18:15] is it possible to create a script that will be run everytime sudo is invoked? [18:15] armageddon, I bet there is, but I wouldn't know how [18:16] armageddon, never tried that with ubuntu [18:16] bttb: with what else :P [18:16] Gnea, : ok try and error.. thanks 4 helping us Gnea [18:16] armageddon, gentoo [18:16] bttb: i have an old serial miro infrared reciever [18:16] bttb: oh, ok [18:16] unitedpotsmokers: cheers [18:16] JonathanEllis: You should just have to right click a blank spot in the panel, and do "Add to panel" [18:17] ok i found bogofilter in synaptic manager, it has 3 files there.. now i want to uninstall them, and see what happen [18:17] bttb: LOOL [18:17] bttb: didnt think I would get it to work like that [18:18] bttb: e.g. i dunno if it works but i dont get the error [18:18] armageddon, forget about it, tv is boring anyway.

[18:20] esac: NO WAIT!! I was wrong :( [18:20] mongolai, i was going to say, main menu is just the ubuntu logo :) [18:20] i hope nothing happen if i remove this files... i also afraid these files is use in another application.. [18:20] esac: I accidentally did just what you are asking once, but I'll be darned If I remember now... [18:21] armageddon: bttb is somewhat a troll, in that he says "tv sucks" and then doesn't seem to want to help you. I pay for TV, then get the shows in other ways....

[18:25] Gnea, i just uninstall bogofilter in synaptic manager just now, then i open the update manager, i saw there is no bogofiles-bdb to update.. thanks Gnea gave me an idea.. [18:25] armageddon: As in what? I missed the beginning of your question. I just installed Mythbuntu, and hooked my coax up to my tuner, no real config, apart from saying "My tuner is here" [18:25] I love systems which deadlock at full disk :) [18:25] ok, so with VLC i get the 'scratchy' 'hatchy' playback. with Amorok it doesn't do that but the volume seems low. [18:26] I'll give Mythbuntu a try [18:26] bobbob1016: wel, i am trying to compile de v4l dvb module drivers and vdr and some plugins for vdr [18:26] ciao a tutti [18:26] !list [18:26] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [18:26] bobbob1016: but i am using ubuntu-server, so no xx-environment [18:26] bobbob1016: one x [18:27] bobbob1016: any idea of that ? [18:27] jjdiamond: perhaps vlc has some other compression options somewhere, or like I said before, It might be a pulseaudio issue. Did you install the vlc-pulseaudio plugin? [18:27] Hi, I am sellin the computer and started a sudo shred process a few days ago. It is still running (currently at 9/25), and I need to deliver the computer tonight. Is it OK to stop this process now or will something "bad" happen? If so, how should I proceed? Thanks:) [18:28] armageddon: Why're you using server? Why not normal ubuntu and then remove the gnome-y things? So you can set it up on a system with packages meant for users, that might make it easier to do what you need (non-server stuff) [18:28] bobbob1016: well, it consists of only server things :P [18:29] bobbob1016: it should becom a streaming server for at the moment one ff but later up to three ff or 2 ff and 2 budget dvb-s cards [18:29] armageddon: Maybe I don't know what vdl is, but I know v4l is video4linux, and recording TV isn't a server thing. [18:29] mongolai: not on purpose. but in the VLC settings there's an Audio output module with a selection for pulse audio. but all those options sound hatchy when applied [18:29] jjdiamond: can you try one of the other options, perhaps ALSA [18:30] mongolai: i did. theyre all hatchy. [18:30] armageddon: I don't know much about that stuff to be honest. I just have my Mythbuntu box record to my FreeNAS Server [18:30] hello I need a non-sudo command to see the size of a diskdrive *not the size of partition [18:30] i was trying to get gyachi ( instant messenger client) working on hardy heron, and the make file works, but up on running make it fails with error 2. i tried with an older snapshot and nothing, tried with a current release and i'm told i'm missing files and i can't find them in the repos. [18:30] mongolai: in amarok it sounds fine. [18:31] bobbob1016: well, why is such a thing then called streaming SERVER ? :P [18:31] bobbob1016: the thing i try to compile is called vdr [18:31] GeForce88, how does the makefile work when make itself fails?? also, are you following build instruction as per the README/INSTALL file that came with the source? [18:32] unop : yes, i run ./makefile...then, when it tells me to , i run make...it compiles for 4 minutes and stops with error code #2 [18:32] bobbob1016: and since that machine is my 4 TB file server at the same time, and the mpeg2 stream can directly be recorded to the hard disk, it makes sense to do so :P [18:32] jjdiamond: weird. is there a particular reason why you want to use vlc for music? [18:32] armageddon: Ubuntu Server != Streaming SERVER, Ubuntu Server == Generic SERVER according to what I know. ANY server or fileshare CAN be streaming, [18:32] GeForce88, do you mean ./configure there? instead of ./makefile ? because that's odd [18:32] hello I need a non-sudo command to see the size of a diskdrive *not the size of partition [18:32] i'm sorry, i meant ./configure [18:33] mongolai: not particularly. i would like to play .flac and .shn files though. [18:33] using root, you dont need sudo :P [18:33] Question? All email go to user www-data.. is there anyways to send external? Thanks. [18:33] i removed VLC [18:33] armageddon: I'd do the recording on another machine to the SERVER's drive that it SERVES. Recording video is not in the roll of a server directly, it can be added, but it isn't easy. [18:33] hwilde, lshal, lshw, etc [18:33] irritating. [18:33] whatvn: Please don't advocate using root [18:33] armageddon: Whats wrong with the vdr package in the repositories? [18:33] I seem to have lost the icon on my toolbar where I can see all the wireless network around me, I can only manually configure now. How can I get the auto configure back? [18:34] GeForce88, ok, that makes sense? did the source come with a README or INSTALL file? [18:34] hi ! [18:34] hi! [18:34] Poke! [18:34] I moutned a file system [18:34] I can I resize the main gnome menu in order to supress the slider ? [18:35] How can I let anyone write to it [18:35] hi [18:35] danopia: anyone?? [18:35] danopia: or everyone? :) [18:35] Gnea, well.... [18:35] is "sudo aptitude install build-essential" and sudo aptitude install update" 2 different things? [18:35] Gnea, atm only I can write to it [18:35] kilowhisky, off course [18:35] Pici: no precompiled version of vdr-plugin-sc [18:35] Gnea, I am using samba to share it and it denies write privledges but allows read [18:35] unop, yea, it did, and i followed those, see, i had this wrking with gutsy, and now it's broken, i did a clean install of 8.04 and now seems i can't figure out which packages if any i'm missing. i'm going to pastebin the output of both ./configure and make [18:35] so once i setup ubuntu, those two are the only updates i put on? [18:35] build-essential are the kernel headers arent they? [18:36] Pici: and to compile a plugin i need the sources of exactly what i have isntalled [18:36] jjdiamond: it looks like others were having problems with vlc's audio, but it's been described as "stuttering"... [18:36] GeForce: build essential? [18:36] bbl with more questions...heh [18:36] Pici: wich isnt apt-get source vdr [18:36] apt-get update refreshes your packages doesnt install anything [18:36] Gnea, poke? [18:36] Pici: seems to be slightly different [18:36] oh [18:36] danopia: ah, what role does samba play? authenticated users or is it a member server? [18:36] I can I resize the main gnome menu in order to supress the slider ? [18:36] unop : http://pastebin.ca/1238857 [18:36] hi, how can I delete all the blank spaces in a plain text file? [18:36] hello i am on ubuntu using firefox I can view email. When I try to write or reply email, I am presented with only the ‘Subject’ and ‘To’ boxes. There is nowhere to write my message. [18:36] so what works as a software update? [18:36] Gnea, no user/pass is what I want [18:36] * vitamin-carrot Hugs Everyone [18:36] Gnea, atm it takes no pass (public) [18:37] sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-esd mozilla-plugin-vlc [18:37] danopia: okay...... have you installed swat? [18:37] no [18:37] what would that do [18:37] matrix_, with what webmail site? [18:37] hotmail [18:38] danopia: swat is this really nifty web-frontend to configuring samba. it takes a lot of the guesswork out of what the differnet options mean and makes a lot of tasks very simple. i would strongly recommend sudo apt-get install swat samba-doc [18:38] matrix_, haven't tried hotmail since mid 90's. But check that you haven't got javascript deactivated. [18:38] Gnea, but I was thinking that maybe samba's user account can't get to the drive [18:38] how can I rollback from Intrepid RC1 to Ubuntu Hardy? [18:38] danopia: samba doesn't have a user account. only user accounts have user accounts. [18:38] GeForce88, try this. sudo aptitude install libmcrypt-dev; make clean; ./configure && make [18:38] it worked fine some weeks ago [18:39] Gnea, I mean the one it uses for anonymous access [18:39] !downgrade>jin [18:39] unop : k [18:39] jin, please see my private message [18:39] danopia: the guest account? [18:39] Gnea, if that is what it uses === bananin is now known as Guest56750 === Guest56750 is now known as Basti_dash [18:39] GeForce88, i'm working on the assumption that you need a mcrypt.h file (line #367 from your output) [18:39] Gnea, it has guest_account = nobody [18:39] armageddon: sudo apt-get build-dep vdr [18:39] Gnea, shld I make an account for it and figuore out how to give that accout write access? [18:39] danopia: don't forget to chown user of smb.conf before using swat or you will not have all options available to you [18:39] yes, i saw that. i dunno if thats the error #2 but it can't hurt i gues [18:39] armageddon: That will install all the build dependencies for vdr [18:39] danopia: well, once you have swat installed, it suddenly becomes easier to be able to assign a share to guest access or not [18:39] i have all things activated [18:39] matrix_, to see if there is a problem with the site or with firefox - start firefox using a clean profile "firefox -ProfileManager" [18:40] Gnea, for the share I have [18:40] readonly = no [18:40] danopia: no, you should be able to share it out to guest without too much trouble [18:40] I can I resize the main gnome menu in order to supress the slider ? [18:40] guest ok = yes [18:40] danopia: look, install swat. if you want to discuss specifics, you'll need to do that in #samba [18:40] ok [18:40] nach: what do you mean "slider"? [18:41] brb === adam is now known as Guest35971 [18:41] unop : same error code [18:41] woot i got updates [18:42] I just installed a new icon pack, where do i install this at [18:42] lots of these : gyachi-gpgme.c:326: warning: format ‘%s’ expects type ‘char *’, but argument 3 has type ‘int’ [18:42] I have Wine 1.0 installed but wine-dev is listed as .9 something...how do I roll back Wine to .9? [18:42] GeForce88, can i see the new output [18:42] ? [18:42] yes [18:42] slack [18:42] drag and drop into your apperance prefernces window [18:42] kk [18:42] mongolai: since i installed crossover, i get slider on the second menu of gnome application... that are useless [18:43] zinake, poke [18:43] danopia: don't forget to chown user of smb.conf before using swat or you will not have all options available to you [18:43] chown to what? [18:43] smb.conf [18:43] danopia: ignore it [18:43] ok [18:43] unop : http://pastebin.ca/1238861 [18:43] its same thing i tryed even with Konqueror webb browser and Epiphany i can not write on hotmail [18:43] danopia: you need to change the ownership of your smb.conf file to you instead of root [18:43] danopia: clearly, if you can install swat and if it doesn't error out, you don't need to do that [18:43] zinake: no he doesn't. since when? [18:44] vitamin-carrot: are you sure that works for icon packs [18:44] what does hotmail say matrix? [18:44] Gnea, uhhh [18:44] yes slack im sure [18:44] gnea: since i last installed samba on my laptop [18:44] nach: are you talking about CodeWeaver's MS emulation software that is free today? [18:44] unless the icon pack ha sbeen made differently [18:44] vitamin-carrot: is their a certain tab it shoudl be drug under [18:44] Gnea, I need root to write to smb.conf so unels I run swat as root, woudln't it need a chown to save? [18:44] zinake: i've installed samba on many production servers and have never once had to re-chown the configuration file. there has never once been a problem with it. [18:44] gnea: if you do not have writing capabilities on smb.conf w/o using sudo, swat will not allow you to write your smb.conf [18:44] GeForce88, ok, it's not the same error this time [18:44] it should either install the icon pack or tell you it cant in which case extract the tar.gz file and see whats inside [18:45] gnea: then you are lucky [18:45] Gnea, unles you run swat as root :P [18:45] mongolai: yep that one [18:45] unop, is it too old a package? [18:45] nach: sorry, I haven't got it yet :) [18:45] GeForce88, scroll through the output - and look at line #108 - it's missing a header file [18:45] danopia: that isn't an issue w/ other distrobutions... but ubuntu has root disables by default [18:45] zinake: wrong, as long as you don't manipulate the ownership of the files in the first place, you won't have to worry about it later on. [18:45] doesn't swat run as root? [18:45] GeForce88, to find out which package houses that header - use http://packages.ubuntu.com [18:45] vitamin-carrot: got it working, thanks [18:45] Slack, as vitamin-carrot says you can also extract the icon archive in its own directory under /home/username/.icons/ [18:45] hello, i seem to have a broken driver(nvidia-glx). I already tried: sudo apt-get autoremove, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx -f but it doesnt work.Because of this im unabe to install any new packages.Can somebody help me?Thnx in advance [18:45] your welcome [18:45] So wtf happens when I run sway? [18:45] swat* [18:46] !swat [18:46] unop, my stuff is wanting to reboot from a kernal update, let me reboot and i'll be back [18:46] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212098 [18:46] yoyoned: yes. [18:46] lolz [18:46] danopia: it's going to throw a line in your /etc/inetd.conf file to run as [18:46] mine wants a restart aswell [18:46] yay for updates [18:46] i have the newest beta release. on occasion ubuntu completely freezes and the mouse disappears, but it only happens when i do something intensive in firefox. any tips? [18:47] danopia: if you think i'm wrong or lying to you, then go ahead and follow zinake's advice. [18:47] gnea: i'm sorry, but that last statement is innacturate. there are 2 ways that you can change the smb.conf file... that is either owning the file or being in the group that owns the file. I have had installs that i didn't need to do anything, i've had others that it would not let me write the smb.comf [18:47] Gnea, but when I run swat, what happens? [18:47] It just sits there [18:47] danopia: then you can make it work like you want it to [18:48] zinake: i have never ONCE heard about the need to change the ownership of the smb.conf file. clearly, you are misinformed. [18:48] danopia there is a possibility that you may not need to chown smb.conf. but if you only have 3 options @ the top of the browser when you log in, then you need to. [18:48] Where am I logging in? [18:48] What port? [18:48] 901 [18:48] i got my info from samba website [18:48] Thanks. [18:49] zinake: which isn't ubuntu's method of setup, which doesn't directly apply. [18:49] "if you don't have all options available, then you do not have write access to file" [18:49] "change write access for group or owner" === jadams__ is now known as shame [18:49] zinake: right, that's only if your distribution is brain-dead. === shame is now known as jadams_ [18:49] Hi, I am sellin the computer and started a sudo shred process a few days ago. It is still running (currently at 9/25), and I need to deliver the computer tonight. Is it OK to stop this process now or will something "bad" happen? If so, how should I proceed? [18:50] well, i guess that ubuntu 8.04 is brain-dead [18:50] Torway: lol, why are you shredding it? [18:50] Gnea, swat just shows home/status/view/password and documentation links that 404 [18:50] b/c that's what i'm currently running and had the issue with [18:50] gnea: thanks to the excellent advice of some person on this forum:) [18:50] well thatw as weird [18:50] After upgrading my kernel to 2.6.24-20 (or 2.6.24-21), the volume controller does not work correctly. Volume up/down does not go up/down the volume. Does anybody know why this happen? I am using ubuntu hardy on thinkpad X300 with alsa-snapshot. === omgirc is now known as GeForce88 [18:50] zinake: well, you're the first one i've ever heard of having that problem. did you file a bug report? [18:50] didn't realize it was a bug [18:50] unop, i'm back. do oyu have a solution for the new error? [18:51] Torway: so you're shredding it while it's running itself? [18:51] GeForce88, scroll through the output - and look at line #108 - you're missing a header file that needs installing ( http://pastebin.ca/1238861 ) [18:51] GeForce88, to find out which package houses that header - use http://packages.ubuntu.com [18:51] gnea: its running on the installation cd [18:51] unop : where do i get this header file ? [18:51] Torway: as long as you can get it stop gracefully you should be ok [18:52] Torway: oh okay. uhm, should be fine, I guess... how big is the HD to shred? [18:52] mongolai: What is your definition of gracefully? :) [18:52] GeForce88, repeat the process until you have no errors - and then gyachi should make successfully [18:52] who can help me, i want to give a user permission to start 1 program.... how can i do that? [18:52] Gnea: its 750 GB [18:52] how do i know what i need ? [18:52] Torway: o.OOOO [18:52] X you could make a custom group and have that user as a member [18:53] unop: am i looking for gpgme.h ? [18:53] @vitamin i already did [18:53] GeForce88, yes [18:53] could you say me the simplest program to plot a graph? Not octave or freemath please... [18:53] Torway: i would just let it run until it's time to deliver and then just format it [18:53] unop : ok. thx [18:53] right well im out of ideas [18:53] :( [18:53] on gnome... [18:53] micettonero, self written [18:53] :P [18:53] ok ? [18:53] Gnea/Mongolai: So I can just close the terminal window I am running the shred in at the moment and then when rebooting the buyer can install whatever he wants easily? [18:53] x-calibur, can't that user start the program now? [18:54] @unop no [18:54] Torway: that's not what I mean gracefully. Just a sec... [18:54] PatrickBic: please... :D [18:54] micettonero, plotting a graph from an array is.. like.. under 50 lines (with window and stuff) in java [18:54] zinake: well, since no one else has had a problem with it, and you're the first one to complain about it, the problem is either that ubuntu screwed up, or you did. since no one else has had the problem and since i'm not finding a bug report for it yet, it's a pretty safe bet that no one else is having the same problem. === tobias_ is now known as tobias [18:54] but no clue where you want it to be [18:55] and which language and stuff === KaiForce_ is now known as KaiForce [18:55] PatrickBic: not from an array, from an expression [18:55] @unop it says Permission denied === tommii^^ is now known as tommii^ [18:55] danopia: the 404 means you need to install samba-doc [18:56] micettonero, never tried but i guess it wont be that difficult [18:56] Xborder [18:56] unop, ubuntu reports my gpgme is newest [18:56] danopia: and you need to login as root, which means you need to set a root pw [18:56] Torway: try the ctrl+c "signal invoker" at the terminal that shred is running [18:56] Gnea, i already logge din as root [18:56] i would change my lines-"idea" to 30 :P [18:56] oh great after update i cannot resolve my host in terminal [18:56] mongolai: and then? What does this do? === tretle_ is now known as tretle === MTeck is now known as MTecknology [18:57] hi. I have a linking problem. Anyhow I set the linker to link against my own-compiled shared libraries, there's a problem with compiling. sometimes the configure script tells me the C compiler cannot create executables (using LDFLAGS variable), now I used LD_RUN_PATH (which should be the same as -rpath) and at the very beginning of compiling it tells me Segmentation fault. Any ideas? [18:57] Gnea, and swat only helps by showing entries that my file don'set have but could have, other than that it's pracitcaly the same thing [18:57] mongolai, query me the expression [18:57] Torway: it should cause it to stop. If it does, you're fine. If not, then try ctrl+d, or ctrl+z [18:57] maybe i can come up with some basic stuff [18:57] danopia: you don't have globals/shares/printers? [18:57] GeForce88, which package has that file according to your system? [18:57] Gnea, i do now [18:58] Mongolai: then when it stops, the buyer can reboot and install whatever he wants next time around? [18:58] PatrickBic: so there isn't a program like kmplot for gnome? [18:58] micettonero, no clue.. i once helped a friend with his diploma project.. and he needed such a plotting algorithmn.. so i wrote it for him... [18:58] Torway: right. The drive is shredded.

I've installed Ubuntu 3 or 4 times on this computer and i didn't have the issue each time. It is quite possible that I did mess something up. However, after searching the internet for the answer, not asking here, i found a way to solve the issue. I'm sorry that I seem to be offending you, however, If you do not have full acces [18:59] Gnea, make sure what is shar? [18:59] The startup sound is in the sounds panel, under System - > Preferences -> Sound - > Center tab [18:59] hi im havign a problem with sound. i just installed this last night. i get a tone at the log in screen but no sound from anything inside on the desktop [18:59] jsilvia: no, that's the login sound which plays after you login [19:00] vitamin-carrot: one thing to check is open /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts 2nd line of /etc/hosts should match what it says in /etc/hostname [19:00] Gnea, I logged in as nobody using su and I cna't write to the drive itehr, so it's not all samba's fault [19:00] GeForce88, that there doesn't list installed packages [19:00] Hello guys. I know that what i`m going to ask it`s a rather *lame* quetion, but bare with me: I`m trying to use gnomad2 to add some music to my mp3 player (iriver clix 2 gen) that is on MTP. The gnomad sees my devices ok, I am able to create playlists, but when it comes to actually transfer the music to it, nothing happends. I`m using 8.04 (testing repos) and gnomad is version 2.9.1.

[19:01] zinake: all i'm sayin' is, if there's a bug with it, you should file a bug report. i didn't call you an idiot. [19:01] 8.10 is supposed to be released officially in two days. Are they usually on time with their releases? [19:01] zinake: calm down. [19:01] jsilvia: I have no idea what it would be named [19:01] hmmm [19:01] anyone got some time to help me with that? [19:01] hang on [19:01] Gnea, ... [19:01] Gnea: You do realize your choice of words, adjectives, etc, could be construed as hostile to somebody in a frustrated state of mind? [19:01] jsilvia: it's that quick drum diddle that sounds before you login [19:01] gnea: well, that's what it seems like. [19:02] GeForce88, /path/to/gpgme.h is a ficticious name - and how do you know gpgme is newest? [19:02] gnea: it didn't seem to be a bug, just a permissions issue [19:02] gnea: no need to send a bug for that [19:02] zinake: While people here can be obtuse sometimes (even when they're *trying* to help) you will find it a lot more useful to assume they are trying to help. [19:02] Gnea, ls -l says that my sahre is only writeable by root [19:02] how do I launch a .sh file from cmd? [19:02] sisif: it seems as if MTP is not properly implemented [19:02] zinake: If you did everything right and permissions are wrong, then yes, it's a bug. [19:02] zinake: if the permissions aren't set correctly when the system is installed, and it prevents proper functionality from occurring, then yes, that is indeed a bug. [19:02] unop : Reading state information... Done [19:02] libgpgme11 is already the newest version. [19:02] Ste1, chmod +x file.sh; ./file.sh [19:03] ok I didn't add ./ before the file. what does it do? [19:03] mongolai : using amarok works ok. Also, I am able to browse the device from within gnomad2. It`s just I can`t add music to it. [19:03] sisif: nice pun, BTW [19:03] zinake: Sometimes people are busy and their tone ends up being abrupt, but they're still here, and still trying to help. [19:03] GeForce88, what packagename does this say here? http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=gpgme.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy [19:03] puff: if the person is of a hostile mind and persona to begin with, sure. [19:04] mongolai : "pun" ? [19:04] azethoth: in terminal, type: alsamixer, check if anything is muted (MM), unmute them [19:04] unop, i install that package as well sir [19:04] zinake: but i'm sorry if you felt offended by my words, that wasn't my intention. [19:04] unop : no change [19:04] Gnea: It's easy to slip into that mindset when you're frustrated. [19:04] puff: true. [19:04] k one sec [19:04] GeForce88, make clean - then try again [19:04] nothing is muted [19:04] GeForce88, make clean is important [19:05] Gnea: E.g. I was asking for help generating multi-domain certs with openssl, last night, and somebody (elsechannel) responded with "did you read the openssl man page", which is useless advice. [19:05] unop, gpgme.h is located : /usr/include/gpgme.h [19:05] make clean in which directory? the gyachi one ? [19:05] sisif: that's what I mean. MTP is not properly implemented, some features of some devices might work, but not all... [19:05] danopia: okay - there's a translation issue going on when you add the samba layer to the unix filesystem layer - we should really discuss this in #samba [19:05] mongolai : what do you sugest shall I do ? [19:06] Gnea: And often incredibly annoying when you've already read the page and either a) didn't see your answer or b) your answer is completely not there. === FrozenFire is now known as britney_18 [19:06] Gnea, but only root can touch the share [19:06] Conky is saying my Swap RAM usage is 0/2.80GB, is that normal? [19:06] Digg brought down the Codeweavers servers [19:06] sisif: Does amarok work to transfer *to* the device? [19:06] Gnea: So it can come off as incredibly annoying, but that's just because you're in a frustrated state of mind. [19:06] azethoth: are master and PCM set to a value other than 0 in alsamixer? === britney_18 is now known as FrozenFire [19:06] Lovok: yes. [19:06] mongolai : yes, it does. [19:07] Pici: thanks again :) [19:07] Akazawa: I think the file you want is in /usr/share/sounds [19:07] puff: basically you were looking for some sort of example script or some such. yeah, the manpage only goes so far, but a simple "yes, but i need this, that and the other thing" will usually get them out of the read-the-fine-manual glaze :) [19:07] yeah everything is at max [19:07] i can has a question? [19:07] azethoth: what desktop do you use? [19:07] is there a way to tell a prog it can allocate as much memory as it wants? i'm trying to run oblivion on wine, ad i think it's running into a memory ceiling [19:08] Gnea: Well, that's what I started wtih :-). [19:08] i just installesd the ultimate edition of ubuntu 19 i beleive [19:08] /server irc.goto10.org [19:08] 1.9 i mean [19:08] Gnea: I'm trying to do weird thing XYZZY with SSL certs, does anybody really know this stuff well? [19:09] puff: heh... that's usually about the time that i google for something like "ubuntu ssl certification generation guide" [19:09] azethoth: let us suppose it's gnome then, have you tried to play around with System->Settings->Sound? [19:09] ah yeah it is gnome sorry [19:09] I share my EXT2 file systems with my windows OS ... I bought a new HD formated to ext2 but windows wont let me assigned a drive letter to it ... [19:09] puff: without the quotes :) [19:09] no cant say i have lets see what i get [19:09] sisif: then the issue seems to be with gnomad2? You could check the version of gnomad2 has this issue in general, and see if any updates fixed it. If so, you might need to find a new version from the PPA repos (or somewhere else) [19:09] Gnea: Heh, yeah. Well, it turns out that it's really weird (and I haven't *quite* accomplished it yet, but I think I'm on my way) but doable. [19:09] unop: unless i need to specify the path to the gpgme file, this is a lost cause for me [19:09] and before you ask [19:09] danopia: try sudo chmod 777 /media/shared [19:10] Gnea, chmod refuses to doa nything to the drive [19:10] mongolai : ok. Thanks for the help :) [19:10] what am i looking for on the first screen its all set to autodetect [19:10] yes i have the EXT2 driver for windows installed [19:10] danopia: what is it mounted as? [19:10] puff,what special abt the word one writes in double asterisk ... like *quite* [19:10] Gnea: Basically you have to not just self-sign, but self-CA, and set certain values in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf, and use certain options in the openssl ca command to copy those values into your cert. [19:10] wow when i set the playback to also and tested it i got a tone [19:10] GeForce88, sudo aptitude install libgpgme11-dev; make clean; ./configure && make [19:10] hi. I need to transfer /home to another partition which I will then mount as /home [19:10] digitalfallacy: I don't understand your question. [19:10] I tried a simple cp -R as root, but I get lots of perm errors [19:11] Hello im having trouble removing a driver.error:Removing nvidia-glx ... [19:11] dpkg-divert: error checking `/usr/lib32/libGL.so.1': No such file or directory [19:11] dpkg: error processing nvidia-glx (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2 [19:11] Errors were encountered while processing: nvidia-glx [19:11] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [19:11] infinite_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:11] cp -R /home /mnt/backup [19:11] I also tried to remove /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1 manually as said here:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+bug/3662 [19:11] inf [19:11] stop it [19:11] azethoth: try changing them and press test to check [19:11] digitalfallacy: it's for *emphasis* [19:11] Gnea, FAT32 [19:11] jpeasy: all you need to create that partition, copy all files to it and in /etc/fstab change it appropriately [19:11] Gnea, this PC is basicaly a file server and I need to get this shared drive wokring, if it won't work I'll have to run windows becuase it works perfectly on windows [19:11] yep i got it now thanks === thseiler_ is now known as thseiler [19:11] puf,you just wrote quite like *quite* in double [19:11] sound now works [19:11] puff....just that ...k [19:11] puff: yeah, openssl can get pretty hairy, especially when it comes down to how they're supposed to be signed... there's a difference between generating a CA for secure-pop/imap and a secure CA for a network connection ;) [19:11] Gnea: If you do so, you can set the subjectAltName property of your cert to included multiple domain names, and then you can use the same ssl server with a single IP for multiple domains without modern browsers comlaining. [19:11] !cron [19:11] 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 [19:11] thanks a bunch [19:12] Hi, i have oracle installed corectly, also ISPconfig is installed and using port 8080. For oracle i'm setting port 8081. And i cant to connect to Oracle control panel via browser(127.0.0.1:8081/apex) [19:12] !ubottu [19:12] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [19:12] !anacron [19:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about anacron [19:12] Gnea: this is complicated further by the fact that I'm doing it under the ispconfig site managment tool :-). [19:12] danopia: oh geez... can you get it converted to NTFS in windows with the convert.exe command? FAT32 blows fat chunks. [19:12] rrittenhouse: ping [19:12] is there a USB install option for Ubuntu? I was thinking of installing it on a Thinkpad X40 which does not have a CDROM [19:12] !separatehome | jpeasy [19:12] jpeasy: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [19:12] hendry yes [19:13] !usb | hendry [19:13] hendry: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [19:13] !install | hendry (see first link) [19:13] hendry (see first link): Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [19:13] how to install ubuntu 8.10 from a USB HDD ? without burning the iso image to DVD, is this possible? [19:13] unop: no luck. still exiting with error code 2 and a host of gpgme errors [19:13] puff: such a prestigeous hosting site should have clear and concise documentation for such a task :P [19:13] now i got another question when i play video files with movie player in full screen the ficture is slightly pixelated. is there a way to fix that? [19:13] !usb | Oprtz [19:13] Oprtz: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [19:13] GeForce88, let's see the new output then. [19:13] Is there a channel where i can ask a question about thunderbird on ubuntu ? [19:13] !usb [19:14] thanks guys, bye [19:14] just seems kinda fuzzy and pixely i guess [19:14] chad: just ask. if someone directs you to #thunderbird (if it exists) then so be it :) [19:14] axethoth [19:14] Oprtz: you would have to open the image somehow, then boot the kernel and ramdisk there... [19:14] vitamin-carrot: thanks for the weblinks [19:14] your welcome [19:15] Gnea: Yeah, ispconfig end-use docs seem non-existent, I think they sorta expect you to be used to cpanel (the commerical equivalent) enough to find your way around. [19:15] azethoth ... is the media file small in resolution? [19:15] bremb1: okie [19:15] Hi how can I reconfigure my keyboard from the console or how it would do it when installing ubuntu. I've tried from system->preference->keyboard and it works but when I restart it no longer works (some keys). [19:15] unop : http://pastebin.ca/1238901 [19:15] Is there a way to disable the alt+leftmousebutton for windows (using xubuntu but should be close to the same?) [19:15] puff: and they don't have a forum somewhere where people are talking about? [19:15] Hi, i have oracle installed corectly, also ISPconfig is installed and using port 8080. For oracle i'm setting port 8081. And i cant to connect to Oracle server control panel via browser(127.0.0.1:8081/apex) [19:15] 768x432 [19:15] Is virtualBox the standard virtual machine for ubuntu? [19:15] ok .. so i copied my thunderbird profile from another machine to this machine (ubuntu to ubuntu) and for some reason it seems that the profile settings cant be edited by this user. when i ls-l them it shows me as the owner, but the coloring is off in comparision to the other folders in my home . [19:16] Oprtz: I am not sure if that would work, but, if you know what you're doing, you cannot lose anything, but time [19:16] GeForce88, your error keeps changing - it's not the same - review the output, identify which header is missing, install it and repeat the process [19:16] azethoth: do you maximize the media when it is playing? [19:16] Gnea, FAT32 USB drive, why woun't chmod work? [19:16] chad: are they links? [19:16] yeah thats how i did it in windows [19:16] i jsut want to sitch to this [19:16] Oprtz: do you know how to open the image? [19:16] unop: ok. wish me luck [19:16] danopia_: is that a thumbdrive or a hard drive? [19:16] Tundrayeti312, I use vmware :P [19:16] and they looked fine there [19:16] gluki, "sudo lsof -i tcp:8081" to see what program (if any) is using that port [19:17] hmmmm [19:17] azethoth: what player are you uing? [19:17] *using? [19:17] can someone remind me, how I do a ssh/vnc sleep. I mean where someone gets on my SSH, and then have say 5 minutes where unless they enter another command for vnc in another terminal, they get kicked off my ssh. yes that ssh sleep stuff. I have to do something to the Ubuntu account, but I don't ermember exactly what, and maybe edit a config file for ssh sleep as well [19:17] Hi how can I reconfigure my keyboard from the console or how it would do it when installing ubuntu. I've tried from system->preference->keyboard and it works but when I restart it no longer works (some keys). [19:17] just said "movie player" [19:17] danopia_: because FAT32 has *NO* concept of file permissions. it wasn't until NTFS that microsoft got around to enacting true permission control at the filesystem layer. [19:17] have you tried mplayer? [19:17] hello im having serious trouble removnig a driver.It keeps me from installing any new packages. http://paste.ubuntu.com/63716/plain/ [19:17] Gnea, 500 GB harddrivre [19:17] let me see if i can find it [19:17] it should be in the repos [19:17] Gnea, one half is what LInux runs off (ext3) and hte other half is FAT32 partition that I need to sahre [19:17] brb having a smoke [19:17] Gnea, so what iA need to konw is how can I get a user accout to get write acess to it. [19:17] bremb1: i am reading the weblinks vitamin-carrot gave me [19:18] nothing is shown [19:18] mongolai: not that i know of .. my pop profile is working fine its just when i go to add a new mail account to that profile none of the settings will sqave [19:18] TigranG: you have to change it in the xorg.conf file. there is keyboard layout settings [19:18] danopia_: set that up on /etc/fstab, the permissions, etc [19:18] 2 Jowi - no output for this command [19:18] mongolai: its weird though cause they are like green txt on green background where all the other folders are blue [19:18] danfg, how would I do that in fstab? [19:18] forgive my noobishnesws but where might i find that. i know to go to applications -sound and video and i get a list of players but i dotn see m player in there [19:18] gluki, so no program is using port 8081 - no wonder you cannot connect to it. [19:19] danfg, I use /dev/sdb1 /media/shared auto defaults 0 0 [19:19] danopia_: if i were you, i would backup all of the data from the FAT32, reformat it to NTFS, then use the ntfs-3g driver on it (it handles read/write just fine) and share it like that - you'll get MUCH better performance === KaiForce_ is now known as KaiForce [19:19] 2 Jowi do u have Oracle installed or tried? [19:19] gluki, no [19:19] mongolai: actually its blue txt on green background [19:19] Gnea, I already use NTFS for a third partion :P but I don't have any place to throw 200 GB of junk [19:19] Gnea, I need to get working as-is [19:19] chad: I just almost sent something... [19:19] TigranG: /etc/X11/xorg.conf, down there Section InputDevice, keyboard,... [19:20] bremb1: http://rafb.net/p/YBuhi033.html [19:20] Gnea, I use FAT32, NTFS, and ext3 at the same time normally. [19:20] 2 Jowi may be you can help me to detect where is my errors? [19:20] chad: can you pastebin the out of ls -l on the directory in question> [19:20] /dev/sda2 /media/windows auto defaults 0 0 / /dev/sdb1 /media/shared auto defaults 0 0 [19:20] sure [19:20] hi help i need plz help in icelandic [19:21] !paste [19:21] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [19:21] 2 Jowi i have installed also ISPconfig that using port 8080 and changing apache2 settings === lol is now known as Guest34998 [19:21] TigranG: yes, that's what you're looking for. change it to whatever you want... [19:21] okies im back [19:21] danopia_: are the packages in the repos for vmware? [19:21] mongolai: http://paste.ubuntu.com/63722/ [19:21] bremb1: i think it already is...lol [19:21] chad: also, how did you transfer the profile (files)? samba? [19:21] sebsebseb, the setting is in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. the manual ( "man sshd_config" in a terminal) say to use the option "ClientAliveInterval" and "ClientAliveCountMax" to set the number of seconds for timeout [19:21] danopia_: i use these options: rw,nosuid,uid=1000(the uid of the user),gid=1000(gid of the user),umask=007 [19:21] If I remember correctly to do the SSH sleep/timeout I had to edit the account properites change Shell: /bin/bash to something else, and maybe also set up the amount of time I want before the sleep/timeout in config file for ssh, but I don't remember how to do this stuff. so basically user connects to my ssh in one terminal and then uses a second terminal to get on my vnc, with the first terminal not letting them do any other commadns [19:21] bremb1: its ok [19:21] danfg, so "rw" is what I need? [19:21] external drive via nautilus copy [19:22] chad: you said all of these had the weird colors in the ls -l listing? [19:22] mongolai: yes [19:22] danopia_: rw = read and write [19:22] how do i get b43-fwcutter drivers to work? [19:22] * vitamin-carrot Hugs everyone [19:22] TigranG: the problem is ok or the settings are ok, but the problem still exists? [19:22] danopia_: the uid and gid to tell which user/group has access to the drive, i think that is important, security-wise [19:22] Jowi: do I need to change /bin/bash in the account properites to something else as well? [19:22] gluki, if oracle is supposed to serve the web-page then you should have a look at its config (and/or restart the service). I can't help more than that since I've never set up Oracle... [19:23] join /#dd-wrt [19:23] sebsebseb, no [19:23] hi help i need plz help in icelandic [19:23] danopia_: you need to also make sure that the share allows guest = yes [19:23] chad: OK first thing, are you sure that this is the correct *.default profile directory that you needed to copy to? [19:23] !ask | Guest34998 [19:23] Guest34998: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [19:23] Gnea, done like 5 months ago [19:23] does anyone speak Nord? [19:23] hmm sunaptic cant find mplayer [19:23] Jowi: I think last time that got changed. basically user connects to my ssh in one terminal, and they are not allowed to enter any more commands in that terminal, instead they need to use a second terminal, to put in a command to connect to my localhost for vnc [19:23] some ppl here speak Nerd [19:23] i need ubuntu icelandic channel [19:23] thanks, and ispconfig you have used? [19:23] bah synaptic [19:24] danfg, if I use umask=777 would the mouted fs be 777/ [19:24] azethoth: have you allowed your third party sources? [19:24] mongolai: ok i have done that .. the 9seovzeb.default is it .. i double checked [19:24] anyone know how to get Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [19:24] to work? [19:24] root@danopia:/media/shared# umount /media/shared [19:24] umount: /media/shared: device is busy [19:24] umount: /media/shared: device is busy [19:24] danopia_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:24] danopia_: yes, and also every file in it, you shouldn't allow running execs from a windows drive though [19:24] Is there a way to disable the alt+leftmousebutton for opened windows? (using xubuntu but should be close to the same?) [19:24] wheres that option [19:25] plz can anyone tell me where i can find ubuntu icelandic help channel [19:25] danopia_: use -f (i think) to force dismount [19:25] sebsebseb, that means that vnc is not set up properly (to only allow connections from the local host) or your firewall is not letting the traffic in. Nothing to do with ssh [19:25] azethoth: system > Administration > software sources [19:25] i just updated my linux kernel and i'm getting an error with XKB: "Error activating XKB configuration. (...)", i had a custom keyboard layout that was working before, but not anymore. ideas? [19:25] where can I ask questions about K9Copy? [19:26] one sec [19:26] chad: OK, so when you try to save a new account, does it *prevent* you from doing so, or just fail silently? [19:26] Guest34998: try #ubuntu-is [19:26] Opps I apsted [19:26] * danopia_ kills self [19:26] azethoth: it should have a list of check boxes [19:26] danopia_: ? [19:26] i enabled the 4 options in third party software and it still cant find it [19:26] mongolai: perfect example .. i need TLS on this new account i can check the button and then click ok and the option is erased when i click ok [19:26] there is no #ubuntu-is [19:26] danopia_: eh?

[20:03] tim167: I recommend you to wait for Ubuntu 8.10, it's gonna have newest stable kernel 2.6.27 [20:03] <[admin]> laughtear, read more about NFS share [20:03] there is no choice in the right click dropdown menu in this intrepid crap (sorry, hardy were far more better, i'm quite regretful about trying that) [20:03] would be easier i guess [20:03] <[admin]> lindenle, take easy, we are here sharing our time to help you, Gnea might figured you're talking about a topic known, but it is obvious not, so thank instead of injuring [20:03] laughtear: are the computers on the same network, and if so, can you ping each other? [20:03] [admin]: fir enough [20:04] Gnea: Sorry [20:04] PatrickBic: what is NFS Share, where will i read 'em? [20:04] lindenle: hi, this is #ubuntu. if i don't know, then maybe someone else knows, or maybe i'd be inclined to help find the answer for you. however, your attitude didn't indicate as such. [20:04] bremb1: ok thanks, but i need my soundcard to work, so i want to try it anyway, can you give me a hint how to upgrade kernel ? [20:04] kevor: Because your dhcp server box is itself seeming to be trying then to auto get a number instead of adhering to whatever you should have static ally set in /etc/network/interfaces [20:04] google is your friend [20:04] lindenle: it's alright [20:04] mongolai: yes, they are both connected to my own router [20:04] Gnea: Just a bit frustrated with the documentation for pressed in Ubuntu [20:04] laughtear: You said Ibex? Is there a "Connect to Server..." option in the Places menu? [20:05] lindenle: heh, it's a pretty stressful time everywhere. :) [20:05] <[admin]> PatrickBic, for sure , it is only mapping starting a service and adding mount to fstab, and there you go , an online share between to linux systems [20:05] PatrickBic: so you're sayin you either you don't care just messing with me, or you ain't know nothing? well good day to you SIR! [20:05] mongolai: ok, checking [20:05] Gnea: Yes >: [20:05] laughtear: what's the question [20:05] mongolai: which service type i'll choose? [20:06] mpalatnik: please check above, i'm afraid of writing it again will confuse even me. [20:06] tim167: sure. but are you sure you wanna do that? it can take you hours to set up new kernel configuration... [20:06] laughtear: since they're both ubuntu, SSH should be fine. It should open a SFTP session where you can drag and drop the files you need [20:06] too much scrolling [20:06] <[admin]> laughtear, http://www.how2forge.org/perfect-nfs-on-ubuntu-8.04-amd64 [20:06] is there an irc chat for talking about using win exchange in linux ? [20:06] <[admin]> it could be applied on 32 also [20:07] bremb1: ok thanks for warning me, i don't have hours, so I'll just leave it for now...:) [20:07] <[admin]> mongolai, i disagree, since the definition of the term share is not only access !! [20:07] mongolai: ok, is the server path is the ip address of the pc on the network? [20:07] laughtear: yep. [20:07] tim167: to build a new kernel you need quite a lot knowledge about computers, especcially about your computer [20:07] <[admin]> laughtear, please read this turtorial about nfs shares http://www.how2forge.org/perfect-nfs-on-ubuntu-8.04-amd64 [20:08] <[admin]> !offtopic | bremb1 [20:08] bremb1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:08] mongolai: =( i have no idea what will write below: port [20:08] laughtear, i say that my original idea is a samba-server + clients but from rethinking , nfs shares might be a better solution [20:08] i'm about to use four letter words to the [admin], please stop, i have no time, and i said: i am a dummy [20:08] no offense... [20:09] there are dummy people in the world, and they may need to use a free ossed pc.. [20:09] slt all [20:09] <[admin]> laughtear, then don't ask here , or get some paid help [20:09] Can someone paste a working ftp mirror? [20:09] Is there anyway to make sound louder i find that the sound in ubuntu is very low [20:09] admin: I wasn't talking off-topic [20:09] laughtear: 22 for ssh, but it's possible that the ssh server is not installed. If not, then run a sudo apt-get install openssh-server [20:09] [admin] you know what you say is equal to: i am an a..h... [20:09] Or a linek to a list [20:10] lindenle: generally, we work with the mainstream ubuntu installation disks that are out there - preseeding ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization ) is typically used for derivatives (xubuntu, fluxbuntu, elivecd, etc). that's why I regarded your question with such scrutiny, and that is also why I am not wrong. [20:10] so please s..t up [20:10] !coc laughtear [20:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about coc laughtear [20:10] !coc | laughtear [20:10] laughtear: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [20:10] >:O [20:10] <[admin]> !etiquette | laughtear [20:10] laughtear: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See (in a private message with the bot, /msg ubottu ): !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !Caps, !NickSpam, !PM, !English - And most importantly, use common sense... [20:10] Yop. [20:10] [admin]: As i take it, laughtear just needed to copy some files, sftp would be sufficient [20:11] laughtear: obfuscating those words doesn't mean that people can't read them. just don't. [20:11] i've been for years on this channel, and i even tried to give some help about improving ubuntu better. [20:11] sebsebseb, sorry. got a call. did you manage with the sshd_config? [20:11] there ain't no response [20:11] i believe in free softwares [20:11] <[admin]> laughtear, im not sure you're correct, see your message (and i said: i am a dummy) [20:11] * zanberdo free software does not mean that one does not have to learn how to make it work. [20:11] laughtear: hey, we all have our good and bad days, no need to take your frustrations out on us. if you really need to vent, please do it in #ubuntu-offtopic. for being here for years, you should know this. [20:11] but i see some "people" offering me about buying an operating system [20:11] that's a shame [20:12] laughtear: when you have the ssh-server installed, then transferring the files will be easy. lets just focus on that, perhaps [20:12] Is there a way to disable the alt+leftmousebutton for opened windows? (using xubuntu but should be close to the same?) [20:12] the question were so simple: there were a choice in hardy heron when you right click to a folder.. it was file sharing options [20:12] here we are in ibex, i can't see that [20:13] Gnea: So the mini.iso from the ubuntu site is not a mainstream installer? [20:13] maybe i have done somn' wrong [20:13] RediXe, you mean to move windows? [20:13] and my files stuck in my old pc which i have to deliver to someone tomorrow [20:13] Jowi: When you alt+RM Click it grabs the window and moves it .. can I turn that off .. really kills me in gaming [20:13] laughtear: that's an issue to take up with the Ibex folks. If you need to transfer some files, I can help, but we'll have to do it my way. It'll work, but differently [20:13] laughtear: if you're using Intrepid, you should discuss this in Ubuntu+1 channel [20:14] <[admin]> laughtear, sudo apt-get install nautilus-share [20:14] so, probably i go and buy a windows tonite, and say farewell both my files and to you all, is that the thing you work on it for hours, maybe years. [20:14] laughtear: you are using a release candidate of an OS that has not yet been released to the public. You might find that somethings have changed. Bare in mind that just because a feature was easy does not mean the the underlying technology is. If the feature is absent there are many ways of acheiving the same results, it just might take more work. [20:14] RediXe, yeah. should be doable. let me log into xfce. one moment. [20:14] [admin]: finalyy, thank you [20:14] is there a channel to help with video playbck issues? [20:14] <[admin]> !ibex | laughtear [20:14] laughtear: 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 [20:14] i think it would be interesting if there was a package manager that had user submitted reviews of software that you could read. [20:14] laughtear, what was your question again? [20:14] <[admin]> laughtear, dont forget that, the share might not work on 8.10 [20:15] lindenle: no, it's not, but it is akin to the network-installer in debian [20:15] [admin]: ok, i'll try [20:15] Where can I find information on the new "ipia" architecture - like the compiler and stuff? [20:15] yo yo yo# [20:15] LjL: he wants to share files between two ubuntu boxes in the same network, as fast as possible [20:15] I'd use my pendrive [20:15] laughtear: I susepct your decision to move to a paid-for operating system wouldn't make a difference one way or another to those who are dedicated to bring FOSS to the world. For some a paid-for OS is a better choice. For them there are 800 numbers to call for support... oh, and have your credit card handy [20:16] lindenle: but i haven't used it yet, and we usually don't get many questions about it, so either people don't know about it or they use it without any issues [20:16] Jowi: Welcome back :) [20:16] laughtear, musictoto: ok. so what's wrong with NFS? [20:16] RediXe, in the settings manager you select "Window manager tweaks" [20:16] nfs, sshfs, ssh, samba, ftp... the list goes on and on [20:16] zanberdo: that ain't my decision, read above please [20:16] lindenle: OR, they ask questions about it when I'm not here :P [20:16] Gnea: OK, but I guess I would ask the same question using the full CD, just did not want to download the 800MB when I could just download 10MB [20:16] !offtopic [20:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:16] <[admin]> LjL, i've been telling them to , no one heard [20:17] LjL: nothing wrong, i'd do it with NFS [20:17] RediXe, then click on the "Accessibility" tab and change the "Key used to grab and move windows" [20:17] good, so the problem is? [20:17] Gnea: gentoo is that way minded [20:17] LjL: there is no Nautilus File Share (or whtvr), that's the situation on my pc [20:17] leave ubuntu [20:17] laughtear: I've been reading what amounts to a tiraid because you can't figure out how to do sometihng in a release candidate os that you can do in a fully released and supported os. [20:17] RediXe, you can set it to None if needed [20:17] laughtear: Nautilus has nothing to do with it. well, i thought NFS support was installed by default, but it should be easy to get installed. do you know how to install software? [20:17] laughtear: did you try to sudo apt-get install openssh-server [20:17] zanberdo: all rite, i get i [20:17] i get it [20:17] laughtear: samba works flawlwssly here [20:17] Jowi: Woooo thank you :) .. I did .. too bad this is my work machine .. will have to do it once I get home to my gaming rig [20:18] ActionParsnip: yeah but gentoo typically makes you compile everything once it's downloaded. many hours/days later, you get a desktop... with ubuntu, boom, there it is within an hour or 2 [20:18] no probs RediXe. [20:18] mongolai: i have some knowledge about it (i had to..=)) [20:18] Gnea: So, I just tried to finish that ssl cert thing and, no dice, it doesn't appear to be working. [20:18] Gnea: its from a time when bandwidth was less. binary is bigger than source [20:18] * zanberdo uses gentoo on lappy and kubuntu on desktop. likes them both [20:18] [admin]: it's done, but nothing changed [20:18] Gnea: You know much about this stuff? [20:18] !offtopic [20:18] I'm looking for a mechanism or script that enables me to have the folder icons in nautilus replaced (or added as emblems?) by the images that are in these folders. Is that possible? [20:18] laughtear, been using samba for years..and its running here connected to both windows, linux and macs [20:18] laughtear: so the sshd is installed on both machines? [20:19] gnea: yes, but on gentoo, you get everything compiled and optimized for your arch [20:19] puff: from the commandline, a bit - you might want to see if there's an #ispconfig or something like that [20:19] <[admin]> laughtear, dpkg -l | grep -E '(samba|smb)' paste.ubuntu.com [20:19] Gnea: I'm not sure it's an ispconfig problem. I'm pretty sure I gotthat bit sorted out, it's the subjectAltName giving me problems, I think. [20:19] Gnea: Anyway so far I am not having a lot of luck [20:19] join #ubuntu-fr [20:19] Gnea: There's an #ispconfig but it's invite-only. [20:19] i'm sure about it. look people, i can see a windows network in network, but it's useless, because there's now no windows, i wanna use the default file sharing of ubuntu [20:19] bremb1: if you don't mind waiting and going something else while it's doing that, sure. there's a difference between people who use an OS to get things done for a living and those who have the time to tinker and have fun with it. [20:20] Gnea: Still asks me about keyboard layout and to define the mirror though i have put those in the preseed file [20:20] <[admin]> laughtear, the default one for all linux is nfs share [20:20] gnea: sure, I just wanted both sides of one coin metioned :) [20:20] so, I will ask again as a fair piece of time has past: anyone run into a problem after upgrading to kernel 2.6.24-21 loading nvidia-glx drivers? [20:20] Hm. [20:20] ActionParsnip: that sure hasn't stopped any of the package maintainers :) [20:20] laughtear: but ubuntu doesn't come with a *default* sharing system [20:20] bremb1: i'm all for that :) [20:20] [admin]: how's it default, if it's not even installed? [20:20] zanberdo: no problems here [20:20] [admin]: before that, i saw samba in add-remove (not installed). could that help? [20:21] ActionParsnip: question: what vid card do you have installed? [20:21] <[admin]> laughtear, sure [20:21] laughtear: Samba is made to communicate with Windows networks. of course, you can also use it between Ubuntu machines if desired. [20:21] there is a bug on my screen [20:21] KevinO: squash it [20:21] [admin]: ok, so than doing that [20:21] KevinO: i recommend a swift hand [20:21] <[admin]> LjL, yes, sure, also nmap is not installed , but it is the default port mapping [20:21] zanberdo: none problem here. what's happening? [20:21] KevinO, smash it. but carefully. don't break it [20:21] [admin]: err? how so? [20:22] zanberdo: nVidia Corporation C51PV [GeForce 6150] onboard [20:22] <[admin]> LjL, how would you check if a port is opened on a remote server/client ? [20:22] [admin]: because something makes it so, or just because you'd like it to be? [20:22] zanberdo: i use envy [20:22] zanberdo: its great [20:22] [admin]: with any portscanner (nmap isn't a "port mapping"). there are *several* in the official repositories. [20:22] [admn]: for that matter, you can just use "telnet" [20:22] KevinO, I guess they are attracted by the light. somehow it was worse on the old CRT screens [20:22] bremb1: it seems that the nvidia driver is not loading. I've checked Xorg.0.log for errors but can't find any. When I boot back to 2.6.24-19 the nvidia drivers load as expected. NOTE: I installed from apt nvidia-glx-new [20:22] !jowi | o [20:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about jowi [20:23] <[admin]> LjL, nop , i've been administrating linux for 7 years now, we have 14 million visitors per day, i know what im talking about [20:23] zanberdo: do you get the nvidia logo? [20:23] ActionParsnip: ok. I'm using geforce 7600 and not envy. [20:23] [admin]: http://paste.ubuntu.com/63749/ [20:23] ActionParsnip: nope. [20:23] zanberdo: here's my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/f31afda0c [20:23] zanberdo: no logo == no driver [20:23] [admin], it doesn't sound to me like you know what you're talking about. there is no "default" portscanner in Ubuntu, and there is no "default" file sharing mechanism. prove otherwise if i'm mistaken. [20:24] anyone know why my second cpu core is disabled in intrepid? [20:24] [admin]: there still no file sharing options in right click drop down [20:24] Could someone help me please? I have locked files from a burned CD (backup) that now has a locked icon beside it. How do I unlock the file folder?

And right, no logo no driver. Why I find odd is that booting to my previous kernel works. So, it seems to me that it's a kernel issue, not a driver issue. [20:25] that doesnt help [20:25] zanberdo: I am as well using GeForce 7600 Go [20:25] jlewis__: did you copy them to the computer (your home folder possibly)?

[20:26] bremb1: s/not/had no/ [20:26] jlewis__: change permissions the lock icon means the file is read only afaics [20:26] jlewis__: see ^^ laughtear's advice [20:26] [admin]: i can swear that there is no such option [20:26] Jowi, no, there is a bug crawling around on my screen that part of some software, i assume a holiday trick from Ubuntu [20:26] <[admin]> laughtear, then there is something wrong, still on 8.10 ? [20:26] Flare183: is it a known issue? [20:26] megatog615: hi [20:26] KevinO: is it a fish (seriously) [20:26] Elswyyr: general rule: use two parts: one for swap at RAM x2 and one for /.

[20:32] sleeping143: On hardy it's an option in NetworkManager, I couldn't find it on Intrepid [20:32] guys: running latest updates of Ubuntu 8.04 w/ GeForce Go 7600 and no problems [20:32] laughtear: well, but surely neither PC will see the other until you start actually sharing a folder on one?

[20:33] laughtear: that might be a bug with Intrepid, we don't deal with Intrepid here. see if you can share a folder in the *Hardy* PC, using right-click etc, and view it from the *Intrepid* one [20:34] I guess that's a rethorical question :-P [20:34] <[admin]> Fazer2, try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to resolve everything missing [20:34] ok [20:34] hi all [20:34] !hi | Luminus [20:34] Luminus: Hi!

[20:37] lindenle: is that what the mini.iso is doing or did you write your own preseed to do that? [20:37] joshritger: are you running nvidia-settings a sudo?

I wrote a preseed that answers all the questions asked by the installer, cuopling the two makes a completely automatic network install [20:38] joshritger: from the command line you can run sudo nvidia-settings or if you prefer kdesu nvidia-settings. [20:38] joshr [20:39] joshritger: the default install for kmenu omits kdesu, so if you run it from kmenu it will be run with user privilages. [20:39] zanberdo: I think that might have been my problem, it saved the xorg file now [20:39] I will have to change my shortcut to include sudo [20:39] can anyone recommend a "nice" PDF reader?

[21:24] <[admin]> joshua1, try ndiswrapper [21:25] Elswyyr: you sure? I don't understand why Gparted wouldn't let you shrink your partition [21:25] Is the partition full? You can only downsize a partition if you have free space [21:25] does anyone here know how to wrap and ndis? [21:25] mogwai: he has free space [21:25] ok [21:25] <[admin]> joshua1, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/ [21:25] <[admin]> marshtomp, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper/ [21:25] Negge, i'm completely sure.

[21:26] [admin]:well this is the last solution i would use, isn't there another way? i don't like the idea of using windows drivers for linux...

[21:26] negge, i know, everyone i've asked has been stumped [21:26] Gradients don't blend smoothly on my screen, IE with gradients there are blocks of color instead of a smooth transition. Is my color depth too low? (I tried setting it to 24 in xorg.conf but I'm not sure if it worked.) Is this common? [21:26] I feel the same way about using windows drivers on linux [21:27] kc8pxy: d-link dwl-g510 [21:27] <[admin]> joshua1, i ran my rtl using ndiswrapper it worked better than windows [21:27] Elswyyr: and you're absolutely sure you've been trying to resize the actual C: partition and not the first 700 MB rescue partition you have? [21:27] if I don't see a RAID bus controller in lspci then I know my Raid is not working, correct?

[21:48] JInTheOffice: lots of people have had issues, the new kernel needs a new nvidia->kernel interface [21:48] what happend? [21:48] ikonia, they were stable for ... maybe 8 months or so? [21:48] ikonia: I was thinking 10.20.2.1 [21:48] JInTheOffice: the kernel has been changed [21:48] paul68: thats the local box [21:49] ikonia, I see. What do I do to recover ? [21:49] JInTheOffice: use supported drivers [21:49] JInTheOffice: or "compatible" drivers I should say [21:49] danfg: /var/log/dpkg [21:49] ikonia, if I edit xorg.conf to use nv will that work? [21:49] I hope someone can help. I've just installed ubuntu 8.04 and installed the nvidia-settings through synaptics. Having chosen twinview, all my windows stretch across both my monitors, what am I doing wrong? [21:49] ikonia, I didnt solve since this afternoon, using vesa driver didnt solve [21:49] JInTheOffice: maybe [21:49] rblst: thanks :) [21:49] jean-martin: apologies can you refresh me on the problem [21:49] I got problem with number pad. Like when i press "4" it's going left "8" it's going right "5" It's like left mouse button "7" north-west.... [21:50] ikonia: so I need to change my adress and leave the gateway like it is [21:50] admin, I don't have any option to do recovery at boot, do I have to do something special? [21:50] paul68: errr no [21:50] paul68: then the gateway wouldn't exist [21:50] <[admin]> ikonia, he/she speaks frensh, i informed with !fr [21:50] ikonia, thanks. "maybe" doesn't fill me with confidence though :/ [21:50] paul68: why do you think you need a gateway if the gatway is its self [21:50] I got problem with number pad. Like when i press "4" it's going left "8" it's going right "5" It's like left mouse button "7" north-west.... [21:50] JInTheOffice: depends in teh nv driver supports your card [21:50] danfg: /var/log/dpkg.log sorry, and also: /var/log/apt/term.log [21:50] ikonia, yes of course... gnome settings deamon error since today's update [21:50] JInTheOffice: I don't know without looking if it does [21:50] simon1245, my numpad also moves [21:50] ikonia, thanks again. We'll see I guess. [21:50] jean-martin: ahhh thats right, it was in french [21:50] How to fixi t? [21:50] it? [21:51] jean-martin: please show me your xorg.conf in a pastebin [21:51] ikonia: i need a gateway to transfer data from eth0 to eth1 [21:51] simon1245, press numlock [21:51] Reqqit How to fix it? [21:51] simon1245, press scroll lock [21:51] paul68: no you don't - they are the same box [21:51] I have alreaddy try [21:51] simon1245, you have to accidentally your numpad [21:51] How to do that? [21:51] ikonia: I'm lost === Guest26968 is now known as winterelf [21:52] Reqqit how to do that? [21:52] Anybody know where the default text file for the terminal display settings are located? [21:52] non [21:52] paul68: you don't need a gateway as eth0 and eth1 are teh same physical machine, the data doesn't need to go out of a gateway to get to the same box [21:52] ikonia, http://pastebin.com/m1ba5a897 [21:52] <[admin]> Trokair, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:52] jean-martin: your still using the nvidia driver in that xorg.conf [21:53] admin: i meant for the actual terminal in X [21:53] not the screen settings :) [21:53] ikonia: ok so what would the solution be here I can't figure it out? [21:53] <[admin]> Trokair, sorry can't help [21:53] paul68: remove the gateway line for eth1 [21:53] [admin]: how do i check my hardware is there a specific program like systeminfo in windows? [21:53] ikonia, yes, but forcing the vesa driver didnt solve. And I cant use the pc with vesa driver : the screen is awfull, the resolution is messed up [21:53] admin: thank you anyways [21:53] Anybody else know? [21:53] amortvigil: "lshw" perhaps? [21:53] Trokair: I thinik there is a ~/.bash or ~/.bashrc ... [21:54] <[admin]> amortvigil, lshw and lspci and lsusb commands will display [21:54] jean-martin: the resolution is messed up but it's a base for you to get the nvidia driver working again [21:54] hello, can anyone tell me how I could reinstall 'at'? I had a problem and followed a bug report that said to remove it and re-install. When I try to apt-get install at, I get: E: Package at has no installation candidate [21:54] ok I'll leave for a lot of coffee and google [21:54] see ya [21:54] ubun2: can you show me the bug report that says re-install at [21:54] Tundrayeti312: I'll check real quick, Thank you [21:54] ikonia, but with vesa driver, I have the same gnome settings deamon error [21:55] [admin]: i know those bit id search a more organized and gui window so i can see if its broken or not [21:55] <[admin]> jean-martin, did you try sudo dpkg-recofigure xserver-xorg-video-nv ? [21:55] ikonia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-report-tool/+bug/138743 [21:55] ikonia, I olny tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:55] ikonia: thanks for your help [21:55] ikonia: so I removed it, then tried to reinstall, but I get that error [21:56] jean-martin: I told you earlier that won't do anything [21:56] paul68: no problem [21:56] ubun2: what command do you use to remove it [21:56] ikonia, I'm back on the former 2.6.24.19-rt kernel... the 2.6.24.21-rt doesnt even start [21:56] ikonia: apt-get remove at [21:56] <[admin]> amortvigil, system -> administration -> hardware Drivers for restircted drivers [21:56] is there an article somewhere on how to tell if your raid is working? like step by step? [21:56] ikonia, anyway, I do it know [21:56] jean-martin: oh, rt kernel too [21:56] ikonia, it's ubuntustudio... I'm musician [21:57] hello people [21:57] i need some help [21:57] hm, i seem to have serious problems when updating to 8.04. === node357a is now known as node357 [21:57] i'm going to tun a contest on my home pc [21:57] i think that it's video driver errors. [21:57] i need a DDoS to my PC [21:57] in order to teste my DSL Connection [21:58] ubun2: try installing anacron and cron packages [21:58] 85.243.136.133 is my IP [21:58] it prompts me to start ubuntu in low graphics mode, and then never finishes booting. [21:58] [admin]: it is showing off my ati card but i cant get any signal on my screen from it [21:58] ubun2: the package is called "at" [21:58] i can get into the os in recovery mode, but when i try to activate the restricted drivers, i have to reboot. [21:58] DDoS to my ip -> 85.243.136.133 [21:58] ubun2: I've just found it in the repo [21:58] <[admin]> amortvigil, when booting ? or whole time ? [21:58] electronplusplu: no [21:59] electronplusplu: this is a support channel [21:59] when i run recovery mode, though, i have to do the repair xserver option to get anything at all. [21:59] [admin]: whole time [21:59] ikonia, just a wget with an infinitive loop [21:59] electronplusplu: NO [21:59] ikonia: yes, but when I try to install it "apt-get install at" I get the error: Package at is not available, but is referred to by another package. [21:59] ok [21:59] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package at has no installation candidate [21:59] ikonia, no change [21:59] ubun2: what version of ubuntu are you using [22:00] ikonia: 8.04.1 [22:00] <[admin]> amortvigil, when booting, wait a little bit, and press CTRL+ALT+F1 login and try sudo spkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [22:00] [admin]: btw i use dual screen nvidia is showing nice... but my other vard hasnt gave me a signal since i baught it [22:00] where can i download the dvd version of ubuntu === laughtear-II is now known as laughtear [22:00] hey ppl [22:00] ubun2: sudo apt-get update first [22:00] ikonia: is there a way for me to backup my current configuration, try to update, and if that doesn't work, to revert back to 7.04? [22:00] schnak: what config ? === felix-da-catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [22:00] <[admin]> amortvigil, do you change the HW without telling your system to reconfigure ? [22:00] ikonia: did that [22:01] well, 7.04 works, but i'm having problems with the repositories. [22:01] 7.10 * [22:01] ubun2: I can't explain it as I can see the package fine [22:01] i wanted to update to 8.04, but when i did, i was getting display problems. [22:01] so i reinstalled after trying to fix stuff. [22:01] [admin]: even if i have dual screen ?? well about the change it was in there before i installed ubuntu... but ive toke it in and out without ginging any command, wich should i try?? [22:01] and i was wondering if there was a way to revert to the old kernel if the update goes awry. [22:02] ikonia: maybe I'm missing the repo in my sources.list? [22:02] ikonia, the dpkg-reconfigure for nvidia didnt hel [22:02] <[admin]> amortvigil, yes .... [22:02] ikonia: can you tell me what repo it should be in? [22:02] how do we install airoscript.sh to ubuntu ? i run sudo sh airoscript.sh but i got this result /home/r3c0n/Desktop/airoscript.sh: 39: Syntax error: "}" unexpected ..... what is the problem ??? [22:02] jean-martin: I've said 3 times now - that will do nothing [22:03] <[admin]> r3c0n, try viewing the line 39 [22:03] ok brb [22:03] [admin]: wich commands are the once i should try next to spkg-reconf? [22:03] schnak: it seems that major kernel releases leave an option in the GRUB menu, however, minor point-releases, like the one issued recently don't. [22:03] ikonia, you just told me to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-video-nv didnt you ? [22:04] jean-martin: no - I didn't [22:04] [admin]: too enable the hardware [22:04] jean-martin: I've said 3 times that dpkg-reconfigure will do nothing [22:04] ikonia, so I misunderstood, I'm very sorry [22:04] <[admin]> amortvigil, thats it, once you login , open system -> administration -> hardware drivers and enable the ati there [22:04] mongolai: 7.10 was not still in the menu/ [22:04] is there a tutorial on installing a raid on ubuntu? [22:05] there is nothing wrong in line 39 [22:05] mongolai: on this machine, the xchat does not let me open a dialog window..=D [22:05] its right at the moment [22:05] [admin]: can i use the open ati driver too [22:05] ?

Plese let me go back a bit. [22:05] <[admin]> amortvigil, depends on what you desire [22:05] mongolai: i probably misspoke. [22:05] why is it giving me a syntax error ? [22:05] ikonia, you have an idea on what to do ? [22:05] jean-martin: update your nvida drivers to compatible ones [22:05] hello all, i just installed and configured postfix on ubuntu 6.06 LTS... but i can't seem to find the email alias setup... i'm used to sendmail on fedora... there its called the virtusertable in /etc/mail [22:06] i updated from 7.10 to 8.04 a while back, but when i completed the update and restarted, i was having some serious issues. [22:06] ikonia, I'm not on the new kernel, I'm on a kernel that was working perfectly before update [22:06] when i booted ubuntu, it would prompt me to go into low graphics mode, which i would try to do, and then it would never finish booting. [22:06] hey guys...I've just installed Ubuntu and nvidia-settings. However, all my windows are stretched over both monitors...how can I change this? === riot_le is now known as riot_le_ [22:06] jean-martin: it wasnt just the kernel that got updated [22:06] [admin]: what does the command do exactly? [22:06] i could boot in recovery mode if i used the repair xserver option. [22:07] I'm talking about a hardware raid [22:07] ikonia, how can I go back to the former nvidia drivers ? [22:07] I have a SAS/SATA Raid adapter [22:07] <[admin]> amortvigil, dpkg-recofigure ? [22:07] i would try to use the restricted drivers and reboot for it to take affect. [22:07] RomanaMentalis: it needs to be true hardware raid [22:07] jean-martin: you've not updated your drivers - thats the problem [22:07] what do you mean true? [22:07] jean-martin: your current (OLD) drivers don't work with the udpates [22:07] but when i rebooted, it would just send me back to low graphics mode prompt. [22:07] RomanaMentalis: a supported hardware solution [22:07] oh [22:07] <[admin]> daysleepr, try /etc/aliases [22:07] if i rebooted into recovery mode, then the restricted drivers would be deactivated again. [22:07] is there a list of supported hardware raids? [22:07] [admin]: restarting goes way to fast! === riot_le_ is now known as riot_le [22:08] ikonia, you know where to get better drivers ? [22:08] <[admin]> daysleepr, when done, issue newaliases [22:08] RomanaMentalis: pretty much LSI and 3ware only (really) [22:08] oh [22:08] jean-martin: I'm not going through this with you again [22:08] well I have LSI [22:08] hey guys...I've just installed Ubuntu and nvidia-settings. However, all my windows are stretched over both monitors...how can I change this? Can anyone help me with this? [22:08] jean-martin: you're having this problem because you got drivers from nvidia.com - now the drivers don't work with the current ubuntu updates, you'll need to find compatible drivers [22:08] RomanaMentalis: a good start [22:08] :) [22:09] RomanaMentalis: try it, see how it goes [22:09] I did but I'm not sure if it's working [22:09] Anyone got an idea how to get audio with Java (Web Start) applications without starting them in a VirtualBox running Windows? [22:09] <[admin]> it s 1:00 AM here, trying to have a good sleep. bye bye [22:09] like for example when I do lspci I see Broadcom as the raid bus controller [22:09] and not Megaraid [22:09] RomanaMentalis: are you sure ? [22:09] ikonia, and you dont know where to get such drivers ? [22:09] jean-martin: why dont u use nvidia-glx? [22:09] well that's what's in lspci I don't know what else to check [22:09] bye [22:09] lucax: too late for that [22:09] lacqui: nvidia-glx-new? [22:09] jean-martin: did u try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx? [22:09] RomanaMentalis you have a fakeraid driver on the board, is it enabled/disabled ? [22:10] glx is legacy support right? [22:10] lucax, no, I try that now [22:10] hi there [22:10] how can I tell? [22:10] RomanaMentalis: no [22:10] RomanaMentalis: did you disable it in the board ? [22:10] admin, the /etc/aliases file just contains "root: daysleepr" [22:10] Can anyone help me? ive got a problem with pppoeconf.. [22:10] my boss put it together then handed it to me [22:10] ikonia: i dont know, he maight install them without problems... jean-martin or sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx [22:10] so I don't know [22:11] RomanaMentalis: check in the bios [22:11] hey, anyone good with installing nvidia drivers? [22:11] I have to connect with pppoe over wlan...but when i run "sudo pppoeconf" it does not work [22:11] well, let me try and figure this out myself before i bother you further [22:11] thank you [22:11] kylepike: enable them through restricted driver manager [22:12] lucax, I need to reboot I think : I cant run apt-get or synaptics [22:12] Can I get an old mysql server as Ubuntu package? [22:12] fantomas: why? [22:12] ikonia, id love to do that..... it doesn;'t show up anymore... not to mention the restricted driver manager disappeared until I just reinstalled it. [22:13] kylepike: what happened to make it go away ? [22:13] fantomas: uhm, no, you can get the version that comes with your Ubuntu release [22:13] mgolisch: have an old archive - compressed /var/lib/mysql/dbname data. Need to import it into 5x [22:13] ikonia, just let the package manager do an upgrade, changed kernel versions and now everything f'd up [22:13] kylepike: open synaptic and type nvidia search there the drivers for ur card, its not difficult [22:13] kylepike: where you using the restricted drivers ? [22:13] fantomas: 4.x MyISAM? Should work fine with 5.x. Worth a try. [22:13] ikonia, yes [22:14] aurel42: ok, I'll try [22:14] lucax, i've manually uninstalled the nvidia packages, and reinstalled apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [22:14] but it won't use them... [22:14] ran nvidia-config * [22:14] fantomas: why do you need the old thing as debian package then? [22:15] kylepike: but did u restart the computer? is your video card in nvidia-glx-new description? === farside is now known as Far^Side [22:15] mgolisch: to get it installed. Then I would copy a dir into /var/lib/mysql/, then dump, then ta-da! [22:15] airoscript.sh: 36: Syntax error: "}" unexpected .....whats this ?? [22:15] lucax, yes rebooted... and yes its listed under the nvidia-glx-new as supported. [22:15] why do i get an error [22:16] i checked the line nothings wrong with it [22:16] kylepike: did u try -glx before? [22:16] fantomas: why not just compile from source? if its just to run mysqldump on it anyways and will go to trash afterwards [22:16] any ideas ? [22:17] lucax, yeah, im using the same laptop as my boss. and those are the packages he's using [22:17] kylepike: theres also a xserver-xorg-nv package [22:17] lucax, no I'm sure its not that... I remember having issues like 6 months ago. too bad I didn't make notes [22:18] kylepike: when reboot, go to safe mode, theres there a fix xserver option... run it [22:18] I wish I could "force" the resticted driver manager to just see it... I've installed that way initially [22:18] mgolisch: this is next step if simple copy wont work ) [22:18] the [22:19] hey [22:19] hi [22:19] ikonia: can I find a http link to a .deb for 'at' somehow? [22:19] I've a problem [22:19] who can help me? [22:19] lucax, wont that just put me back to vesa or something? [22:19] ubun2: sudo aptitude install atd [22:20] Thiag1: ask the question [22:20] thanks [22:20] Hello again. Is there a procedure for reverting to an earlier kernel? The latest kernal update did not go nicely for my box, which has an on-board Nvidia 6150 card. [22:20] JInTheOffice, hehe... that happend to me as well [22:20] It is so frustrating. [22:20] Thiag1: don't ever ask to ask - just ask whenever you're on IRC, that's the rule [22:20] aurel42: Couldn't find package "atd". However, the following [22:20] look, I installed ubuntu on my pc but I don't know if it's for 32 or 64 processors [22:20] kylepike: try it if nothing happens, run in terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx-new and restart xserver [22:20] Trying to find out the perfect network card. [22:20] how can I get this information on my pc [22:21] That works just *fine* with hardy. === evan_ is now known as amortvigil [22:21] kylepike, I'm hoping that there's an easy back to what worked -- since it was fine until the kernel upgrade this morning. [22:21] Thiag1: if u know the name of the processor u know it [22:21] aurel42: packages contain "atd" in their name: I wanna punch the dumbass who said linux supports the most devices. [22:21] NO NO [22:21] look [22:21] I know [22:21] is there a good program or tutorial on gathering as much information you can about the hardware of an ubuntu system? [22:21] how can i check if my vidioe card isnt broken? [22:21] airoscript.sh: 36: Syntax error: "}" unexpected .... what could this be ?? [22:22] Thiag1: what processor u have? [22:22] it's a 64 bits [22:22] like from the command prompt [22:22] ubun2: my mistake, if you're talking about the tool to start commands with a delay, it's sudo aptitude install at [22:22] but I don't know if the system is the same [22:22] JInTheOffice, yeeeah, thats what ive been having fun with today... havn't gotten **** done cuss of it. [22:22] hubar: maybe your device isnt just like the most [22:22] athlon x 64 5200 [22:22] ubun2: it will run a daemon called atd ;) [22:22] aurel42: No candidate version found for at [22:22] x2 [22:22] Thiag1: you should know what you downloaded [22:22] Thiag1: try uname -a in terminal [22:22] is there any problems with sh [22:23] Thiag1: system monitor [22:23] does it need upgrading [22:23] hubar: new pc? [22:23] is it a bad idea to install fuse on a webserver? [22:23] Raylz: check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported out and tell me how many devices have YES/YES (work with installed system/work out of box)? [22:23] kylepike, I'm ahead of you there ;P Since I'm at a different location, and running on a Windows box. Bleh. (On the other hand, it currently works.) [22:23] when it needs to be installed .. [22:23] ubun2: that's fishy. [22:23] airoscript.sh: 36: Syntax error: "}" unexpected ... because of sh ? [22:23] aurel42: can I not just find a link to the .deb somewhere? [22:23] Raylz: It is either needing ndiswrapper. [22:23] or is the issue something else ? [22:24] or some tweaks to work. [22:24] aurel42: goolge for 'at' is a mistake. lol [22:24] hubar: the more fun to work :D [22:24] it's showing: 2.6.22-15-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:47:12 GMT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [22:24] hubar: from what i see you can get all of em working [22:24] I spent 1 hour trying to get NETGWG511 to work on my wife's laptop. [22:24] ubun: packages.ubuntu.com/at should help, but it would be better to fix the underlying problem. [22:25] it's showing 2.6.22-15-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:47:12 GMT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [22:25] Thiag1: that should be 32-bit. Also, as lucax said, try opening System monitor [22:25] I tried ndiswrapper too, but it keeps complaining invalid driver. [22:25] what you thinks [22:25] ubun2: like make sure that your package manager has all the necessary package sources or something like that. [22:25] I tried but there's nohitng [22:25] aurel42: I got to this page, but don't see anything but a "source" download. http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/admin/at [22:25] türkçe bilen var m0131 dostlar [22:25] anyone know? [22:25] help [22:26] ubun2: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/at/download -- if on i386 [22:26] hubar: and wlan is not absolutely necessary [22:26] aurel42: oh, duh. :) [22:26] ubun2: but still, you shouldn't need to. [22:26] hubar: you should try intel devices [22:26] !tr | AntuandeS [22:26] AntuandeS: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [22:26] Thiag1: I guess then it's 32-bit, but I am not using 64-bit. I think it would have been written there, if it was 64-bit [22:26] hubar: they support linux very well [22:27] Raylz: for PCMCIA card? [22:27] aurel42: maybe my sources.list is missing a repo [22:27] ubun2: have you tried refreshing your package list (in your package manager or using "sudo apt-get update") [22:27] aurel42: yeah [22:27] if you want to be sure, you can look in /usr/lib64/ - my 32bit system has only two .so files in it [22:27] ubun2: if so, it's not "a repo", it's "the main repo that you cannot live without". [22:27] They only have miniPCI listed there. [22:27] If I UPGRADE through the system to 8.04 LTS, is it going to adapt to 64 bits? [22:28] hubar: 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [22:28] aurel42: well this is a work system, so they have apt-proxy. But I just did an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and it worked. [22:28] hi guys...I've just installed Ubuntu with nvidia-settings, but twinview seems to stretch the windows across both monitors, and when I have rebooted i go back to one monitor...what am I doing wrong? [22:28] hubar: its a built in card [22:28] ubun2: fishy. [22:28] I checked, the folder is showing lib32 [22:28] Hi. I am installing 8.04. I am trying to partition my disk so I keep windows intact. I clicked "manual", but I am not sure what to do next. [22:28] Thiag1: upgrading from the 32-bit to the 64-bit version is, to my knowledge, not supported [22:29] aurel42: btw, downloading and isntalling the .deb fixed the problem (original one anyway) [22:29] ubun2: excellent [22:29] Raylz: oh, I am looking for a card for my wife's CompaqN600c laptop. :( [22:29] Sorry, "manual" is what I clicked in the disk partitioner. [22:29] Another try... anyone got an idea how to get audio with Java (Web Start) applications without starting them in a VirtualBox running Windows? [22:29] https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-report-tool/+bug/138743 [22:29] hubar: hm, are there any usb wlan cards? [22:29] Thiag1: if you upgrade, it will stay whatever it is [22:30] understood [22:30] Thiag1: anything else? [22:30] so [22:30] Anyone have any advice on how to get cpufreq-selector to overclock the CPU? I'm running an Intel Atom at 1.6g, and want to push it to the 1.9 turbo speed it's designed for [22:31] I'm downloading the CD for 64 bits trhought the web site [22:31] and then I'll install to replace the currect one (7.04 - 32 bits) is it a probloem? [22:32] or do I have to format all first? [22:32] hubar: it says Netgear WG511T works out of the box [22:32] Thiag1: consider using 64-bits instead of 32 before installing - it doesn't offer that much speed increased, but it has lower stability with programs designed for 32 [22:32] hubar: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw/devices [22:32] Raylz: I have a very old version WG511 v1. [22:33] Thiag1: I have never upgraded from 32 to 64 bits, I think it should be possible, but I wouldn't do that, since there may be many dependency problems and others [22:33] Howdy ho neighborinos! Is there any way I could have a different set of icons for each workstation? [22:33] yes? [22:33] really? [22:33] oo god... [22:34] Thiag1: if you're not gonna run apps that need that much speed, like servers or databases, I wouldn't do that [22:34] ikonia, I removed nvidia new and nvidia-glx and still have the problem [22:34] understood.... [22:34] Raylz: I think I will get the 3com one. :) [22:35] Raylz: cheap and seems to work! [22:35] Thiag1: it's a lot different, programs need to be often rewritten to use 64-bit, and although it should be compatible, it's not 100% guaranteed [22:35] but If I install 64bits, later, will I be able to run anything which is for 32 bits only? [22:36] Thiag1: yes, but as I say - better to run 64-bit apps on 64-bit OS, and 32 on 32, but I don't recommend running 32 on 64 [22:36] Thiag1: remember the old Windows ? [22:36] I used XP no longer time [22:37] they had 16-bit core but emulated 32bits... how messy that was... it's not a good idea to play with bits :) [22:37] Thiag1: if you're a general user, go with 32 bits [22:38] you get better app range and support... [22:38] ok then [22:38] hi, is the new version of ubuntu coming out tomorrow? === frawfraw is now known as nibblecat [22:38] Actually I'd like to use all the powerfull from my PC [22:38] bender1337: depends on where you're from :) [22:39] by installing an OS accordingly [22:39] Thiag1: you won't see much speed increasement [22:39] bremby, us? [22:39] hey how do i see what kind of harddrives my laptop uses so i know what to look for when i look for a rpelacement [22:39] so the new ubuntu is gonna be released in 2 days....is it still being worked on? or just being finalized and distributed to all the download servers? [22:39] but as you're saying that probably I can have problems with 32B programs... I don't know now... [22:39] bender1337: yes, you :) if you're from Eastern Europe, then yes, if later, then the day after tommorow :) [22:39] could i install it tonight? or do they make the final iso on the day its released? [22:40] bremby, cool beans [22:40] Is there any way I could have a different set of icons for each workstation? [22:40] and about upgrade my current version to 8.04 [22:40] do you see some difference? [22:40] Thiag1: I would prefer stability than that little speed you get with 64 :) [22:40] Hi guys, problem mounting usb drive : dmesg "usbcore: deregistering interface driver usb-storage", on ubunty hardy [22:41] Thiag1: upgrade to 8.04? THAT'S a DIFFERENCE! [22:41] How do you upgrade? [22:41] m... [22:41] Is there any way I could switch between save states of my login? Like have multiple ones? [22:41] security? [22:41] new design? [22:41] Using GUI? or Command line? [22:41] when 8.10 comes out should i upgrade my hardy heron? or try to do a complete reinstall?

[22:42] <_ykram> the upgrade worked for me [22:42] Thiag1: everything gets new, what is developed - for example latest stable karnel, newest stable compiz fusion, etc. [22:42] _ykram: How did you upgrade? [22:43] apt-get distro-upgrade? [22:43] os it's better.. [22:43] I'll do that now [22:43] will I lose my files that I saved here? [22:43] EatShrooms: how do you mean it? [22:43] Hey everyone. I need a spot of help with a plugin installing. I performed sudo apt-get install php5-gd successfully, but my GD-enabled PHP script still reports that it's not installed. Did I do something wrong? [22:44] Thiag1: if you're running from harddrive, then you won't lose anything [22:44] hi I have a little problem with internet - I have a wireless modem that works fine with wvdial but only when the ethernet and regular wireless adapters are disabled, the ppp0 interface does not show up in the network manager so I cannot set it as the default route - how do I make it show up there? [22:44] I am using kubuntu - but that channel is very quiet [22:44] yes, I'll do that by using Update Manager [22:44] Is there any way I could switch between saved running applications states of my login? Like have multiple ones? [22:45] there's a button to upgrade [22:45] rephrased* [22:45] nevermind - my script can find it now all of a sudden [22:45] so that's it... [22:45] Thiag1: If you're running normal instalation of Ubuntu, you won't lose anything. That would be only if you were running in RAM :) [22:45] thanks a lot [22:46] :) [22:46] !noprob | Thiag1 [22:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about noprob [22:46] EatShrooms: you want more accounts or what?

[22:48] jarussi: sudo apt-cdrom add [22:48] anyone know how I can get network manager to see the ppp0 interface if it does not show up there? [22:48] ifconfig ppp0 up [22:48] EatShrooms: I don't know what you're trying to achieve. For example I have 1 normal account for programming and stuff, other for playing games, other for other bussiness [22:49] jsilvia: the interface is already up, using wvdial [22:49] anyone? [22:49] it just doesnt show up in network manager [22:49] is fetch available on ubuntu - when i try to run fetch http://www.somewebsite.com/file.tar.gz it says command not found [22:49] cowbellboy: hello [22:49] iAlien: Whats wrong with wget? [22:49] I tried that too, but I have ridiculous problems with applications when I use certain logins [22:50] nobody in here knows amaya? [22:50] nothing really -- i just type fetch by force of habbit [22:50] can anyone help me to sort out my dual-screen with nvidia-settings, as all my applications, browsers, etc are stretched across both monitors when I maximise [22:50] !patience | pietrubens [22:50] pietrubens: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[22:54] does anyone know where i can get proper Ati drivers for my: X1650 pro because I'm apparently using some restricted drivers and when i try to play any games or movies i have a constant flickering :( [22:54] install EnvyNG, helpfulist [22:54] winterelf I would suggest not using IRC under the root account, it can be hazardous [22:54] mikebeecham: once you have it connected, you do it once and it's there. and I use CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to restart X server. Warning: it shuts down all your running apps [22:54] what does EnvyNG do? [22:54] mikebeecham, "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" or CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE [22:55] winterelf can we help you? [22:56] lol [22:56] no, listen [22:56] lut [22:57] i m changing my irssi theme, and i wand to enter this channel and exit, cause i wanna see how the theme looks like, and here u people talks a lot so it helps me see my theme === luminerd_ is now known as luminerd [22:57] I see, winterelf you are aware running your irc client as root is a bad idea right? [22:57] hmm, no... but how do u know that? [22:58] winterelf is n=root@77.127.59.92 * root [22:58] [18:57] === winterelf “root” [22:58] why is it a bad idea? [22:58] irssi and most other clients default to the logged in user for that info [22:58] shit [22:58] oops [22:58] pr0fane because if there is an exploit in the client an attacker can gain full root control of your machine [22:58] Hi, I'm trying to install the game Black and white with crossover.. The game seemed to install fine, but as soon as I get past the intro movie, it crashes. Anyone have any previous knowledge or ideas on this game? [22:58] pr0fane, should only use root/admin accounts when modifying system. it's not needed otherwise [22:59] can i run cron as root [22:59] didn't know that stuff [22:59] !root | winterelf (this is a good read) [22:59] winterelf (this is a good read): Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:00] lol [23:00] ok [23:00] takamarou, http://appdb.winehq.org/ is very useful to troubleshoot wine games [23:00] i think i need to reloogin [23:00] does 'sudo' stand for 'super-user do' [23:00] to do something as a super-user [23:01] marshtomp yes [23:01] marshtomp: switch user do, but close enough. [23:01] Jowi, does that work with crossover, usually? [23:01] hello I'm having issues setting up wifi on my sister's computer; does anyone here have experience with that [23:01] @wificonfigger - tried ndiswrapper? [23:01] takamarou, don't know. they use the same base but I know crossover is not 100% compatible [23:01] Flannel The sudo (short for super user do :) [23:01] wificonfigger: go on with the question... [23:02] Flannel: but that's ok same thing really [23:02] pjvanderhaar, yes, and it works with unencrypted networks but not with wep or wpa [23:02] I don't know why it doesn't work with wpa -- I am using network manager to try and connect [23:02] where do i find EnvyNG in ubuntu because when i tried installing it it said its already there [23:03] guess i'm not a root now ! [23:03] applications-system tools, helpfulist [23:03] @wificonfigger - are you sure? I really thought it had an option for wep or wma [23:03] or whatever its called [23:03] krazihrz:/lastlog kitche [23:03] pjvandehaar, it has the option, it just doesn't work (stalls, then fails) [23:04] where do i find EnvyNG in ubuntu because when i tried installing it it said its already there [23:04] applications-system tools [23:04] open it from there === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [23:05] there is no system tools in that menu [23:05] @wificonfigger - i have no idea then. you've tried doing a google search or searching ubuntu forums? [23:05] @ pr0fane there is no system tools in that menu [23:05] helpfulist: try searching :) [23:06] @helfulist... i know that it`s there in Ubuntu 8.04 :D [23:06] @ pr0fane oops i'm in 8.10 [23:06] pjvandehaar -- I've tried searching and tried alternate solutions like wpa supplicant but they haven't worked so far (It's been about 2 months since I tried last) I think part of the problem is I don't know exactly what is going wrong. Why does wifi work, just not with encryption? [23:07] search then [23:07] say, can someone tell me where can i find yakuake keys? i meen like when i want to switch between sessions or open another session , what's the shortcats? [23:07] how? alt+f2? [23:07] that should work [23:07] wificonfigger: ask in #ubuntu+1 if the new version fixes this.. You might be surprised [23:07] alt+f2 and EnvyNG [23:08] scunizi: will do! [23:08] how complicated would it be for me to replace one or both of my laptop's harddrives? [23:08] @ pr0fane Nothing, anything that i can do in terminal? [23:09] pr0fane: did u tell me about the alt+f12? cause i didn't understand [23:09] onthefence9281: you can break warranty, if you have any [23:09] onthefence9281, hard as in physical undoing the screws or hard as in moving all your data over? [23:09] bremby: i already did by using ubuntu i guess [23:09] just push and hold alt+f2 and type in EnvyNG and hit enter [23:09] i dont know how to open it from terminal [23:10] u didn't understand [23:10] onthefence9281: why do you think so? [23:10] Jowi: hard in the software sense, since i have most of my /home on sda and my ubuntu install/swap and some of /home of SDB [23:11] Is the new Ubuntu different from the current one? [23:11] pr0fane: it says ''could not open location'' [23:11] onthefence9281, then it's not very hard. You can use the data on /home if you install the system on another disk. no probs [23:11] pr0fane: i ment, when i'm on yakuake, and i m using session1 how can i open another session whithout using the mouse? and if i have 2 sessions open how can i switch between them [23:11] @ro1 - yes, but not so different [23:11] Jowi: will ubuntu freak at the new drive? or will it not care? [23:11] and comes out in 2 days [23:12] Ro1: always there are differences between the current and new releases. [23:12] i don`t even know what yakauake is [23:12] thank you :) [23:12] hehe [23:12] Jowi: and what about maybe rpelacing SDB? [23:12] Hi :-) - I am installing capisuite with "sudo apt-get install capisuite" it also installs courier-mta - but I dont need it ! - So I execute "sudo apt-get remove courier-mta" - this removes courier-mta AND capisuite.....How can I install capisuite WITHOUT courier ? [23:12] anybody in here can help me out with amaya? [23:12] I have a flash vidio I want converted into avi What program should I use ? [23:13] video* [23:13] i think /j yakuake will help :P [23:13] pietrubens: installing it or what? [23:13] onthefence9281, it will detect the new disk but shouldn't care about it. if you wish to replace the disk that contain the system files then a clean install is recommended and then just mount sda as /home on the new system [23:13] how can i umount my home partition so i can shrink it? [23:13] Falcons_roost: avidemux [23:13] @danskand - im sure there's a way, but is it a problem? [23:13] amortvigil: boot from a live CD [23:13] ty [23:13] need to sleep. 'night all [23:13] amortvigil: use the live cd [23:14] jowi: ok then maybe i'll do it when i decide to use 8.10 [23:14] Scunizi: ok ty [23:14] @scunizi: no the help file is a bit vague, and i could use some help in using it [23:14] guess what, nobody live in yakuake channel just wierd CIA guys [23:14] pjvandehaar: Yes it is :-) - I then have 2 mta's installed on the same machine ! [23:15] pietrubens: sorry.. I'm not well versed in it.. this would be the right channel anyway.. not ubuntu specific enough.. you might try ##linux or maybe amaya has a channel [23:15] what is the difference if you download the release candidate now and in two days? [23:15] pietrubens: would not be the right channel .. [23:15] notdarkyet: if you do the updates .. nothing [23:15] k [23:15] thanks [23:15] I need help with an ati x1550 card. Anyone feel lik banging their head against a wall with me? [23:16] Blaidd: whats the prob? [23:16] Blaidd: too late I already have an indentation.. not going there again.. :) [23:16] amortvigil: I can't seem to get the ati drivers working, and not sure where to look next [23:16] @scunizi: i created an amaya room, since there was none, and still waiting for the first visitor... hehehe [23:16] pietrubens: good luck with that. :-) [23:16] amortvigil: Already tried everythin here : http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide [23:17] Scunizi: No worries, I understand completely [23:17] cheers scunizi, thank you for your time ;) [23:17] pietrubens: np.. good luck [23:18] amortvigil: I get green lines and a fuzzy screen when I try to use the fglrx driver, but I need it to use xv accelerated video playback for myth [23:19] does anyone here know how to use wpasupplicant with ndiswrapper (specifically -Dwext or -Dndiswrapper... the ndiswrapper wiki seems to be down) [23:20] wificonfigger: -D wext [23:20] :o [23:20] am I likely to have more luck with something like a geforce 8800 gt? [23:20] ubnote: you are awesome. thanks [23:20] hey all. i'm a little confused about this nvidia binary driver debacle with xorg 7.4. as far as i can tell, everyone keeps saying it's nvidia's fault. but they didn't change anything; xorg did. why aren't people clamoring for xorg to be patched instead? [23:20] hi [23:21] I'd like to know how I can uninstall a source code... [23:21] who updated to intrepid? [23:21] for_ever__, the source should have come with a makefile. if you go into the installation directory, in the terminal type "make clean" [23:22] i'll try... [23:22] it's running...

[23:23] I"m just looking for something that's going to work that I can use for my mythbox.. any suggestions? [23:23] Scunizi: thanks === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [23:24] q0r3: it ran, but the program it's running yet [23:24] tundrayeti312: I had this issue the other day.. go to System/Admin/Network and unlock.. then click Hosts and add 127.0.0.1 and your user name [23:24] hi can i ask a question plz [23:24] marshtomp: ask it [23:24] Scunizi: ty, will do [23:24] q0r3: i went to directorie where i could install the program, and i type "make clean", it ran but... [23:24] tundrayeti312: or actually add your desktop name.. my login is .. well lets say.. Scunizi but the machine is scunizi-desktop [23:25] Blaidd: any 8000 series nvidia card should do you up real nice for myth [23:25] for_ever__, but... [23:25] tundrayeti312: should also take effect right away [23:25] hahaha what u gonna do without ubottu [23:25] !ask marshtomp === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [23:25] theres no ubottu ! [23:25] ;) [23:25] marshtomp: get over it [23:25] !ask | marshtomp [23:25] <_ykram> wheres the setting for concurency=on for startup [23:25] lol [23:25] for_ever__, as far as i understood, you wanted to undo the changes that you made when you compiled a program from scratch. 'make clean' does just that. [23:25] The last thing I found about the 8800 GT was that it was new to the nvidai driver.. has it been optimized? [23:26] I want to connect to both a wireless and a wired network. the wireless network as an internet gateway, but the wired network does not. In fact, I want this computer to be the internet gateway on the wired network. how do I do this? in my network manager I cannot seem to simultaneously connect to two networks [23:26] i installed a program, but i dont want more [23:26] Blaidd: I don't have an 8800 so I don't know, 8600 works great for myth though for sure [23:27] for_ever__, "make clean" removes the program. it doesn't install anything. [23:27] erisco: try "routed", a program, routing daemon [23:27] pjvandehaar - Are you there ? [23:27] erisco: google i [23:27] t [23:27] erisco: by chance are you wanting to use the wireless to provide access to another machine like internet connection sharing? otherwise why bother [23:27] * md22 cries xfi sound card doesn't work in Ubuntu 8.04 [23:27] Scunizi, yes. the situation is that I have one wireless adapter and two computers [23:27] dulak: how was it for install? pretty painless? [23:27] goodbye !! === nick__ is now known as Skky [23:27] Blaidd: yeah no issues for me [23:28] Scunizi, should I look at "routed" like bremby suggested? [23:28] erisco: and a wireless router? === Xang is now known as Xang_away [23:28] dulak: sweet.. thanks.. [23:28] q0r3: yeah, but when i run my program that need this program (what i want to uninstall), my program runs perfectly [23:28] Scunizi, yup === Xang_away is now known as Xang [23:28] !away > Xang_away (Xang_away, see the private message from Ubottu) [23:28] question - i have been looking through Wine, and I am unsure about this. How exactly do you install windows programs to run on wine, on linux? Just put their installation CD in? [23:28] erisco: so is it a problem to plug one machine in and use the wireless with the other? [23:28] dulak: do you mind if I ask the specs? [23:28] Scunizi, both machines are at remote locations, so both must use wireless. I have only one adapter though [23:28] question are the XFi sound cards supported in Linux ? [23:28] Blaidd: like the full specs of the computer? [23:28] Scunizi, they are both beside each other, see [23:29] for_ever__, then obviously the other program doesn't "need" that program to run, does it. [23:29] dulak: no, of the video card. the ram and what not [23:29] Blaidd: sec and I'll link a spec sheet [23:29] erisco: k.. not sure if "routed" is the right thing.. but ICS is.. unfortunatly without ubbotu I can't provide a link.. maybe someone else here will know where to go. [23:29] Skky: that might not be enough since i don't think ubuntu will do the autorun thing on the cd. you will have to start the setup.exe (or whatever it's called) manually [23:29] dulak: thx.. [23:29] How can I lock my virtual terminals when my screensaver turns on? [23:29] hi [23:30] LjL: and then Wine will know what to do, and take over? [23:30] Scunizi, the other thing is that my network manager, wicd, doesn't seem to let me connect to two networks at the same time [23:30] q0r3: no, my program needs it [23:31] Scunizi, I do not know how to overcome this, even if I do know how to share the connection [23:31] for_ever__, we just proved it doesn't. [23:31] I need help with my wireless, its slow and I cant get drivers to work in ndiswrapper [23:31] Hello everybody! I am currently having big problems with my 1hr or so new 8.04 install. I have an ATI 1650pro video card, and after my install ubuntu kindly asked if I wanted to install the drivers for it. I said, well yes of course, and after reboot and ubuntu splash screen is done loading, everything is black. [23:31] for_ever__, which program did you just install? and which program allegedly needs it? [23:31] I need help with my wireless, its slow and I cant get drivers to work in ndiswrapper [23:31] q0r3: what i want it is to uninstall this version and install another [23:31] erisco: when ics is setup you'll be able to.. basically the machine with the wireless will connect to the router with wireless.. then the hard nick card in that same machine will connect to the other machine probably with a crossover cable to provide internet to it. [23:32] erisco: I think your network manager just sets the primary network device, which to use to go to Internet. but in fact you're connected to both (if there are no problems like with IPs or something... ) [23:32] back [23:32] Blaidd: http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_8600.html [23:32] Socapex_2K, have you tried ENVY? [23:32] My question is this, how can I locate the drive to uninstall it (using apt in root shell, I would think)? === MenZa_ is now known as MenZa [23:32] Skky: not necessarily. your GNOME might or might not know that Windows executables need to be started with WINE (i suspect having the "binfmt-support" package installed helps with that), and if it doesn't, you'll have to run the program manually with something like "wine /media/cdrom/setup.exe" [23:32] Blaidd: I have the 8600 GT [23:32] bremby, I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 but its 3 years old [23:32] )Q( How can I lock my virtual terminals when my screensaver turns on? [23:32] kthef: what is envy? [23:32] bremby, any ideas where I can learn how to setup ics? === Raynes_ is now known as Raynes [23:33] Socapex_2K, it's a utiility to download, install, and configure the latest binary nvidia or ati driver [23:33] Socapex_2K, it is an auto video driver installer for ATI and Nvidia [23:33] q0r3: i need to uninstall graphiviz-2.20.3, and install graphiviz-2.21.3, before install the second... i need to uninstall the old version, don i? [23:33] Socapex_2K, sudo apt-get install envy [23:33] dulak: great, thanks [23:33] back again [23:33] I need help with my wireless, its slow and I cant get drivers to work in ndiswrapper [23:33] Socapex_2k: Python program for installing proprietary graphics drivers. [23:33] great, i found my irssi theme! [23:33] zng.theme! [23:34] Socapex_2K, it works great for Nvidia... it has an ATI installation in it too, but I haven't used it. [23:34] I didn't know about it! But now i'm in the root prompt, so I'll give apt-get a try with envy, see what that does. [23:34] congrats winterelf [23:34] I need help with my wireless, its slow and I cant get drivers to work in ndiswrapper [23:34] you see i can't load ubuntu no more :( [23:35] for_ever__, really depends on the specifics of how that application compiles. you might want to check out their documentation. but if you installed the newer version, then uninstalled the older one, and the newer one works fine, i'd say you have nothing to worry about. [23:35] If I upgrade to Ibex now will I be able to run a software update and get the full version when it comes out? [23:35] patience, jordan_ [23:35] Scout: yes [23:35] jordan_ repeating the question every few seconds won't help [23:35] erisco: I think the howto you provided is just fine. If you think you can follow the steps, there shouldn't be any problem :) [23:35] Scout: if you update now you will pretty much have full version [23:36] Scout: I'd wait until Friday though, if I were you [23:36] my vlc media player doesnt play music.... but my firefox does... why [23:36] k [23:36] Why is that? [23:36] Scunizi: the problem seems to be that i have 'WORKGROUP' specified in domain name under General.... so it keeps changing user-desktop to user-desktop.WORKGROUP, any thoughts? [23:36] well I need help asap before my wireless disconnects me [23:36] Scout: because of the last minute fixes that are bound to come before the official release [23:37] erisco: "routed" as I suggested before was the first thing that came on my mind, it's probably old by now. As you can see, Googling is really helpful, you managed it on your own :) [23:37] q0r3: i'll try to install the newer, and i see what happens, thank your help [23:37] Yeah but I figure since I won't have time on Thursday I might as well go through the setup now and upgrade on Thursday [23:38] jordan_ if you're connected then your drivers should be working, could possibly be an issue with the router [23:38] bremby, it says "Reconfigure ipmasq to start after networking has been started"... is this after network interfaces are brought up or network services? [23:38] kthef, should i install envyng_core, envyng_qt or envyng_gtk. or none? [23:38] no [23:39] i use windows and its fine [23:39] here on ubuntu I get like 48% signal when I get 92% signal on windows [23:39] how do i mount /dev/sda7 in live cd? [23:39] Socapex_2K, just envy [23:39] it will do the rest [23:39] Socapex_2K, using apt-get install [23:39] then it can't find :( [23:39] jordan_: signal percentage is something given arbitrarily by the driver, don't rely on that for anything [23:39] hi, i noticed eclipse 3.2.2 is on the hardy repos... but the latest is 3.4.1.... can i use the built-in update feature to update or should i instead download the prog from eclipse.org directly ? Thanks [23:39] i'll check out my sources [23:39] Socapex_2K: install envy-gtk and it'll install what you need [23:39] yes but speeds are slow [23:40] networking means network interfaces. Services do their job, routing shouldn't be dependent on them... [23:40] i get around 10-30kbps on wireless when i get like 200-500kbps on windows [23:40] ok [23:40] Socapex_2K, http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [23:40] that was for erisco [23:40] thanks [23:40] bremby, looks like I made the wrong choice then... [23:41] bremby, I hope I can just back up to that step [23:41] I know its not something to discuss here, but does anyone know how to fix it when gmail doesnt let u send emails because it marks it as spam? [23:41] erisco: why? what's wrong? [23:41] bremby, I said for it to start after services, not interfaces [23:41] anza - search google [23:41] "i know it's not something to dsicuss here but i'll do it anyway". anza, please don't. #ubuntu-offtopic if you just don't know where you ask something [23:42] pjvandehaar, I am on it, but not a hint about how to fix it [23:42] erisco: it shouldn't be a problem, you can try it and then reconfigure [23:42] blip-, you won't have much luck upgrading the package, since it's not even in intrepid. but as for what you "should" do, if you ask me, i'd keep the current version, instead of going through the risks of installing it from eclipse.org === Raynes is now known as TehKake [23:42] erisco: if it wouldn't work [23:42] so what do i do to fix this, how do i install ralink2500pci drivers into ndiswrapper [23:43] Whenever I use sudo it says "unable to resolve host", i keep adding my computer name as 127.0.0.1 in hosts, but it keeps changing it to compname.WORKGROUP, how do i fix this? [23:43] bremby, now wicd says I am connected to the wired network [23:43] bremby, yet I am still talking to you [23:44] bremby, bleh... weird things... I don't like 'em [23:44] tundrayeti312: you need to have the same host listed in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [23:44] tundrayeti312, /etc/hosts should say "127.0.0.1 localhost" (the name being localhost), not just 127.0.0.1 [23:44] erisco: you see, you're still connected over both interfaces [23:45] testing123 [23:45] am I still connected? [23:45] testing123 [23:45] am I connected? [23:45] erisco: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:45] someone can help me? [23:45] aaaaa [23:45] bremby, I dunno, did you see it twice? [23:45] erisco: yes you are [23:45] bremby, I said "testing123" twice... [23:45] erisco: yes, you did :) [23:46] erisco you also said am I connected twice [23:46] bremby, so wicd is simple setting the "default" interface, then [23:46] erisco thats why FloodBot1 warned you [23:46] NetEcho, that is a relief, thanks === TehKake is now known as Raynes [23:47] ersico: remember, Linux and other *nix-based OSs are network-based. which means you can get a lot of magic from them :) [23:47] favro: ty thats the issue. I'm trying to setup samba, so i want to keep a domain name, so should i be using the compname.WORKGROUP then for both? [23:47] someone help me? [23:48] !ask | hellenicAlUser [23:48] hellenicAlUser: saying "someone help me" is useless, ask your question [23:48] tundrayeti312: the entry in both those files has to match so yes [23:48] i'm new to ubuntu [23:48] LjL: replacing ubottu? :) [23:48] favro: ok ty again [23:48] and i can't install my graphics card [23:48] bremby: since it's MIA... [23:48] hellenicAlUser: which graphics card is that? [23:49] ati HD3870 === kano_ is now known as Kanito [23:49] LjL: i didn't get the part about intrepid... when i run the update tool within eclipse it shows me some updates, strangely enough the update is title eclipse 3.2.2 and eclipse 3.2.2-patches so maybe it's trying to reinstall the same thing again. I noticed they offer the download on their website as a .tar.gz http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.1-200809111700/linPlatform.php#EclipseSDK .... do you think its a binary or [23:49] something i have to compile manually ... if so then it's definitely not worth it. (isn't it strange that the repo version is so old... or is it because most focus on the repo updates goes to 8.10 ? ) Sorry too many questions there. === leonel_ is now known as leonel [23:50] c xz [23:50] i search all 2 days but i cant find solution [23:50] blip-: Intrepid is 8.10. there might be several reason why the new version isn't even there. the package they offer is probably a binary (at least, one of them is), but that can actually be *worse* that compiling from source code. [23:50] hellenicAlUser: this page has instructions for ATI cards - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [23:50] I just opened a Terminal window and issued the `sudo su` command. It asked for my user password, and once entered appears to escalate me to the root user. The shell apparently then `exit`s the root session and returns me to my user prompt, and the `exit` command appears when I press any button. The shell then no longer responds.
