It says their password is expired and says that they need to change it, and then closes the connection (ssh). Is there a way I can fix this? In the previous versions of Ubuntu (7.04) it would ask the user to enter a new password and everything would be fine. [00:13] DivineOmega: probably gnome-applets is the package.

[00:23] HP? [00:23] it doesn't matter if I print in OO.o, acroread, evince or okular [00:23] xamusk, are you sure your printer can print at the point which it clipping?

[00:23] gwkalrod, it used to [00:24] i normally use wine, but want to try out the free crossover version. does crossover place nice with an existing ~/.wine dir? like does it create .crossover instead? [00:24] chad1> something similar happened to me, it might be an acpi problem [00:24] er play nice... [00:24] gwkalrod, actually I detected it because of a document that I always make copies of, which is having its margins clipped [00:24] xamusk, check what paper size you've set the printer to, should be 8.5x11 normally [00:24] mcquaid: crossover doesnt use the system wine at all .. it uses its own [00:24] gwkalrod, A4 [00:25] mcquaid: yeah crossover has nothing to do with wine [00:25] can you help me? i cant boot ubuntu anymore [00:25] mcquaid: so you will be fine [00:25] SherlawkDragon: humm .. that sounds about right .. .any way of telling what is not shutting down [00:25] Anyone know if there's a program or a way to make my own Grub Menu background?? I want to make or download one with Linux and Vista on it to show I have a dual boot system. [00:25] qowao> use pastebin, show us what you changed [00:25] well crossover has a lot to do with wine [00:25] Every time I put a cd into the drive, Ubuntu give me an error message saying that I don't have the permission to mount/access the drive. How can I fix this? [00:25] SherlawkDragon: ok hold on [00:25] xamusk, do you use 8.5x11 paper? [00:25] !pastebin] [00:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebin] [00:25] SherlawkDragon: the entire thing? [00:25] !pastebin [00:25] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:25] because A4 is sloghtly narrower [00:25] tx [00:25] and longer [00:25] deftone: yes, one second [00:26] gwkalrod, I use A4 paper, with A4 settings in all the apps and drivers [00:26] deftone: yes, such a thing exists [00:26] qowao> the file you changed [00:26] mcquaid: crossover has nothign to do with the package wine ... you can remove the system wine and not effect crossover. It uses its own embeded wine install [00:26] ok SherlawkDragon [00:26] so there's no 64 bit sun-java6-plugin ? [00:26] thx SherlawkDragon [00:26] what program are you using to print?

[00:28] sorry :-( [00:28] you need to read what I wrote [00:29] "Keyboard does not work" [00:29] mcquaid, you could use the vmware tool to make a vm out of your windows install and run it in entirety inside of vmware server in ubuntu [00:29] any reason why the "resolution" section in Preferences doesn't configure desktop-extending correctly?

[01:01] morph3us: i bet you have a bad disk [01:01] qowao> I have an AMD64 [01:02] IRCcop: you cant compare gnome to the other 2 [01:02] why [01:02] ActionParsnip> I have the latest updates [01:02] IRCcop: and there is no "better" or "best" [01:02] I have a quick question about x86 and x64! [01:02] ActionParsnip, i have burned 2 different CD's from 2 different isos, downloaded from different servers [01:02] but even still: that's not it [01:02] IRCcop: gnome is a desktop environment which you can run in debian or ubuntu [01:02] IRCcop: debian and ubuntu are distros (ubuntu being based on debian), while gnome is a desktop environment [01:02] I've had it since installation [01:02] so guys, if i'm running fsck manually (like from the live cd) can I just do "fsck /dev/sda6" [01:03] Skry^, as I said: This is an EXAMPLE, I don't want outdated , missing or unavailable packages on the database, as I'm pretty sure that given the sheer amout of repos that I added back in the day there should be A LOT of packages with that same issue [01:03] morph3us: doesnt matter, use the md5 sum on the same server to check the iso you burned and then use the program on the cd to check the cd for defects [01:03] phixxor: Yes, thats the syntax [01:03] I want to dual boot x64 and x86 on the same HDD, would they be able to use each other's files? Like music and the like. === nintendork87 is now known as nintendorkBot [01:03] so Let It Be... that's kind of a non-solution... [01:03] genii: NICE! alright, here goes [01:03] aduarte - I haven't tried the live CD but will check that out. Weird if dual monitors work with Live CD and not when you install it. I am just trying to get dual 19" LCD monitors to work. [01:03] ActionParsnip, i will do that, thank u :) === nintendorkBot is now known as nintendork87 [01:04] Ok so no matter what os I download I will still have problems with wireless right [01:04] as long as is a linux os [01:04] It seems that I have been /ignored by the ENTIRE channel [01:04] IRCcop: there is no "best" or "better" in any software situation as every single users requirements are individual so no single application can satisfy ALL user needs [01:04] Azhi_Dahaka, if there's no real problem, a non-solution should be enough :) [01:04] me too [01:04] !patience | IRCcop [01:04] IRCcop: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:04] IRCcop: no necessarily [01:04] Weird: I can see this site on my Windows machine but not my ubuntu machine...can somebody check it out on ubuntu and confirm? http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/using-your-linux-computer-as-a-media-center-part-1/ [01:04] IRCcop: sorry, that was intended for Irishmanluke [01:04] IRCcop> maybe [01:05] IRCcop: you could try mandriva or some other rpm based linux distro [01:05] IRCcop> if you can't find a driver for something, you can't use it [01:05] I want to dual boot x64 and x86 on the same HDD, would they be able to use each other's files? Like music and the like. [01:05] irishmanluke: when it's this busy expect to have to repeat yourself kind of often (but not so much that's annoying) I am just a user myself but I'll pay attention [01:05] would that solve my wireless problem [01:05] Anyone know the FreeNX server package? [01:05] There's a REAL problem: apt-get suggest me packages that are obsolete [01:05] ActionParsnip: rpm won't magically add kernel drivers :) [01:05] cuz I tried everything in ubuntu [01:05] I have an Ubuntu computer with a Linksys card [01:05] but no succcess [01:05] hey, can anybody help with my NVIDIA card that went bad with the intrepid upgrade? [01:05] anyone: WHY THE HECK IS KDIFF3 gone from the package repos ?!?!?! [01:05] IRCcop: or you could try bsd based systems and ditch linux all together [01:05] IRCcop: pcbsd is pretty decent [01:05] there's a driver for it [01:06] IRCcop: if you have a wifi card with poor linux support, use ndiswrapper with the windows driver [01:06] I want to dual boot x64 and x86 on the same HDD, would they be able to use each other's files? Like music and the like. [01:06] um guys, when I updated to intrepid, networkmanager stopped detecting my atheros wireless card. Is this a known issue? What should I do? [01:06] yeah sorry I have a bit of a short temper. ANYway, can someone help me with my printing issues [01:06] Weird: I can see this site on my Windows machine but not my ubuntu machine...can somebody check it out on ubuntu and confirm? http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/using-your-linux-computer-as-a-media-center-part-1/ [01:06] ronny: sudo apt-get install kdiff3 [01:06] i tried that too [01:07] phixxor: there are some issues with atheros, but they work in general. Read the release notes. (It appears you did not.) [01:07] Azhi_Dahaka, oh, so you mean you're installing ie. deluge-torrent, and it wants to install deluge-torrent-plugins even though it shouldnt? [01:07] but it wil ask me for the .inf file [01:07] RickZilla I can see the site from Ubu [01:07] ... [01:07] but I have the exe [01:07] Hi I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and everything is great my question is I have an X-Fi sound card. How hard is it to install and set up OSS [01:07] In nautilus is there a shortcut to rename a file, like a key you can hold down while clicking the name, or a key combo when it is highlighted [01:07] http://www.patrickmoberg.com/november-4-2008.jpg [01:07] hey, I forgot, what's the official method of updating again, I can just use update-manager right? [01:07] I want to dual boot x64 and x86 on the same HDD, would they be able to use each other's files? Like music and the like. [01:07] e.g., going from 8.04 to 8.10 [01:07] Also any word when ALSA will finally get a driver? [01:07] tritium: I may have glanced over them.... lol thanks :) [01:07] Weird; Now I can't see it on my Windows machine [01:07] then when I extract the exe to get the inf file , does no work [01:07] irishmanluke: what specifically is your prob [01:07] seems like this is useless [01:07] That site was hacked a few days ago, but they got it back again...wonder if that has anything to do with it [01:07] RickZilla: try http://216.92.56.91/tag/using-your-linux-computer-as-a-media-center-part-1/ [01:08] oh, it's f2 [01:08] Seems like it's time to go back to FreeBSD and ports [01:08] How can I make my external disk into ext3 fast? [01:08] hey, can anybody help with my NVIDIA card that went bad with the intrepid upgrade? [01:08] IRCcop: you can extract it with unzip [01:08] thanks for nothing [01:08] phixxor: It seems that I can only connect to the local CUPS server directly after booting up [01:08] ok hey im back this shit did not work!! hey what is this i did not do anything to the file but its a file that ubunut created!!! why does this not work??? [01:08] IRCcop: put my name at the start of the text you type to me, makes my life sooo much easier [01:08] ActionParsnip: That doesn't do it either [01:08] RickZilla: sudo apt-get install traceroute [01:08] I want to dual boot x64 and x86 on the same HDD, would they be able to use each other's files? Like music and the like. [01:09] RickZilla: then traceroute to the domain name [01:09] ActionParsnip: What will that do? [01:09] qowao, Please mind the language [01:09] ActionParsnip will mandriva be better for me? [01:09] RickZilla: see if the site is reachable by your provider [01:09] irishmanluke: I have no idea how to use cups or set up printing, but then what happens? It connects after booting up, but then won't connect? [01:09] IRCcop: theres no black and white answer for that, its still linux so id say maybe not [01:09] phixxor: yes pretty much [01:10] anyone know how to use gfxboot?? [01:10] ActionParsnip: That site was hacked a few days ago, but they got it back again...I wonder if that has anything to do with it? [01:10] hey, can anybody help with my NVIDIA card that went bad with the intrepid upgrade? [01:10] ActionParsnip I love ubuntu but there is kind of issues that really discourage ppl [01:10] IRCcop: sudo apt-get install cabextract [01:11] After upgrading to 8.10 i have 2 of each network adapter showing up when i click the network icon and it wont let me select wireless when i right click on the icon [01:11] IRCcop: then use: cabextract -d [01:11] solexious: what did i do wrong [01:11] ActionParsnip what's that for [01:11] ActionParsnip: Returned no results [01:11] IRCcop: that will allow you to extract the files from the exe you have [01:11] irishmanluke: dude that sucks! The only thing I can think of is reinstall cups and start from scratch. But maybe someone else knows more than I do [01:11] qowao, Please don't swear :) [01:11] RickZilla: what command did you use? [01:12] No command...just entered in the site for it to search [01:12] Using the tracker search tool [01:12] RickZilla: try a traceroute to the name and then the ip [01:12] ActionParsnip: I don't know how to do that [01:12] qowao: you've warned before about !language [01:12] tritium: I know my card has used madwifi in the past, so do I have to manually enable that somehow? (I'm not understanding why it's not working, based just on the release notes) sorry for being trouble [01:12] scunizi, I have found an old backup PPD file but using it through the web interface didn't fix the problem... I don't even know if the ppd is configured correctly, since I can't find an entry in the /etc/cups configuration files [01:13] RickZilla: sudo apt-get install traceroute; clear; traceroute 216.92.56.91 [01:13] phixxor: no, it should be auto-detected. Which card? [01:13] hey, can anybody help with my NVIDIA card that went bad with the intrepid upgrade? [01:13] !nvidia | carltonsmith [01:13] carltonsmith: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:13] I installed the traceroute [01:13] solexious: no i mean in the menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu.com/67623/ [01:13] tritium, just a sec, let me find it.. [01:13] Where do I do the clear? [01:13] k, thanks [01:13] I've found a few sites but nothing has worked [01:13] I'll try that one [01:14] RickZilla: im giving you the whole command, paste that line in terminal [01:14] phixxor: if you need the ath5k driver, then you many need to enable it. See http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [01:14] actionParsnip: Ah...one at a time, or all at once? [01:14] heya [01:14] RickZilla: that will install traceroute then run the trace [01:14] ActionParsnip this ndiswrapper how do I get it? [01:14] phixxor: I actually did reinstall cupsys but no cigar [01:14] RickZilla: all at once, otherwise i'd give them on different lines [01:14] !ndiswrapper | IRCcop [01:14] IRCcop: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:15] ActionParsnip: Thanks, I'll try that...and thanks for your patience with an ubuntu newb :-) [01:15] I want to use metacity with compiz instead of emerald. When I do metacity --replace, It disables compiz. How can I fix this? [01:15] IRCcop: you'll ned a wired connection til yuo get on yuor feeet or use the stuff on your install cd [01:15] RickZilla: theres worse [01:15] RickZilla: you need to see whats what with yuor connection [01:15] ActionParsnip can i tested with the live cd [01:15] Im using v.8.10 but in my sources list i still have repos enabled for edgy, is it safe for me to remove these? [01:15] tritium: Netgear WG311T, a few years old, it was autodetected with gutsy and hardy [01:15] RickZilla: and where the comms breakdown is === PO_maker is now known as LaukPeda [01:16] Bitmess: metacity and compiz are both window managers. You can't use both at the same time. Emerald is a decorator. You probably just want to use compiz-decorator [01:16] ActionParsnip: Thanks, it's going right now [01:16] IRCcop: sure, you can install apps from the live cd [01:16] phixxor: which module does it use? [01:16] tritium: pretty sure it uses madwifi [01:16] IRCcop: you will still need that file you have extracted [01:16] ActionParsnip: Should I copy-paste the results into here? [01:16] phixxor: ath_pci? [01:16] RickZilla: into a pastebin [01:16] !paste | RickZilla [01:16] RickZilla: 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) [01:16] jrib: How do I do this [01:16] ActionParsnip whar do u mean [01:16] yey OpenSpaces spectrum (gap between tv channels) for wifi users has been approved by FCC [01:17] jrib: How do I do this? [01:17] IRCcop: you can setup a live cd system like an installed system but you use ram as hard drive space [01:17] Bitmess: is there a reason you don't just use "Normal" in System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects? [01:17] hey guys [01:17] tritium: Is that the module name? I don't know. it is an atheros card and it is pci though [01:17] I'm looking for the app that you can add to a pannel that is similar to Windows taskbar? [01:17] IRCcop: so you can install ndiswrapper in live cd, then give the system the .inf and .sys files for your wifi [01:17] phixxor: yes. Is it loaded? [01:17] containing icons representing all the open applications? [01:17] jrib: I can try that. [01:17] tritium: how do I check? [01:17] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/67647/ [01:18] IRCcop: if you use wpa you will need the wpa supplicant [01:18] phixxor: lsmod | grep ath [01:18] After upgrading to 8.10 i have 2 of each network adapter showing up when i click the network icon and it wont let me select wireless when i right click on the icon [01:18] RickZilla: ok, its not getting past your router from that reading, id reboot your router [01:18] mrpockets-> look around gnome.. type gnome and tab twice [01:18] ActionPars: Thanks for the link on NVIDIA drivers.

I'm not sure how you change the decorator that "Normal" uses then [01:20] qowao: Like result of some operation in bash?

[01:23] decision '08 [01:23] KillerOrca: offtopic [01:23] tritium: does that mean I do "sudo modprobe ath_pci" ? [01:23] n8tuser: is iptables ON in the standard install? [01:24] true true, [01:24] phixxor: if you're certain that's what you need. [01:24] speedcore-> yes [01:24] IRCcop: if you have no OS installed go for guided, if you have an OS isntalld you'll need to resize partitions and junk [01:24] ActionParsnip I always do manual to pick the size of the swap area [01:24] Action, is there a command in terminal I can run to rebuild dpkg?

[01:25] n8tuser: so no servers are visible from a standard install? [01:25] Action, I think that from the upgrade interrupt that app become corrupted somehow. [01:25] RickZilla: any good from traceroute again? [01:25] tritium: I'm not certain. Are there instructions somewhere for installing things that should be autodetected? [01:25] ActionParsnip what is the recommended size of the swap area [01:25] Let me try [01:25] kamekun: that should not be a 1 at the end [01:25] speedcore-> servers you serve or remote server? [01:25] phixxor: if you want to try, "sudo modprobe ath_pci". [01:25] ActionParsnip: I don't suppose you can paste that code again? [01:26] kamekun: erm, maybe I'm wrong, never mind [01:26] IRC, 2-3x the size of your RAM [01:26] RickZilla: what does: nslookup www.makeuseof.com show [01:26] n8tuser: I mean is there alot of "servers" running on the machine with the default install? [01:26] phixxor: it would be useful to know which atheros chipset you have. Does lspci -v tell you anything? [01:26] IS the drop off to text during boot up-- where it drops the splash screen but successfull (ok's) [01:26] RickZilla: tracerote www.makeuseof.com [01:26] is that normal and nothing to worry about [01:26] kamekun: no wait, it definitely should not be a 1. Despite the fact the line in my fstab generated by ntfs-config also has a 1...

[01:28] ActionParsnip: 192.168.1.1 [01:28] Action, is there a command you recommend that will let me try to continue with my distro upgrade or that would let me fix the (dpkg package was interrupted you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem) error message in recovery console??? [01:28] solexious: need to unlock it [01:28] speedcore-> its installed with no rules, default policy is accept [01:28] Where could I find a package containing the wireless kernel module(s) that support packet injecting?

It says their password is expired and says that they need to change it, and then closes the connection (ssh). Is there a way I can fix this? In the previous versions of Ubuntu (7.04) it would ask the user to enter a new password and everything would be fine.

[03:53] or what ever changes i made to the os in general [03:53] :< [03:54] King: well... i think it's a better idea to have a 20 gb partition for each OS. Unless you're not gonna use the system much [03:54] Guma, Is it a hello world application? or something more complex? [03:54] dazvid: i bet linking would work [03:54] WebcamWonder I can't even man atoi [03:54] heinrich: as I told you, next to churches I'm no specialist in that, try to find the packet : apt-cache search libc* [03:54] help! with atheros wireless [03:54] Guma, atoi is a function that converts a string into an integer [03:54] 20g should be enough for app don't ya think [03:54] something more complex.

[04:06] dle: in your case, if the sound never worked, you probably need to google the specs of your card [04:06] ubottu: thank you [04:06] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [04:06] dle: there's probably some little line you can write in the audio configuration file that can fix the problem [04:06] a bot? [04:06] fonzarelli, thats exactly what I did with no luck [04:07] ubottu: you are a bot [04:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about you are a bot [04:07] lol ok [04:07] ubottu: I am a compassionate conservative? [04:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:07] van: Oy vey. I'm tired of that. I'd love a little just-works-ness. [04:07] Tcha:nice, but paste the out from : sudo fdisk -l [04:07] can anybody recommend a more advanced archiving program for ubuntu than the standard one? [04:07] xorlim: please, stop [04:07] can i put a .swf as a wallpaper [04:07] dle: yes, i know. you can of course wait and in a couple of months it might just work after you do a normal update [04:07] fonzarelli, wait i think i have made a huge mistake. Let me try something [04:07] Finiras, command line tools. [04:07] dazvid: k [04:07] tritium: ok [04:08] Finiras, depends on what are your requirements? [04:08] Finiras, gzip, bzip2, tar, p7zip etc. [04:08] u want flash as ur wallpaper? [04:08] I have problem of programs crashing in Ibex. [04:08] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/m1766fb69 [04:08] van: Auto, Pulse, OSS, ALSA -- nothin'. [04:08] dle: but if you dont want to wait you have two options: try another distro and perhaps they are shipping better support for your soundcard [04:08] apparently they segfault in Ibex, the programs like Firefox and supertux2. and Opera hangs, too, and crashes on segfault. [04:08] fonzarelli, i realised that im using 64 bit.. and ioquake supports 64. So the 32 bit library was not the problem [04:08] hahah [04:08] <_hase> Is it possible to fetch firmware without the computer being connected to the internet? [04:08] i feel silly [04:08] thanks for the help! [04:08] dle: or else, you could install alsa from the website [04:08] dazvid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:08] dazvid: ahh, cool [04:09] Well it works fine now, so thats all for me. Thank you again for your time. [04:09] dle: that means youd be installing the latest version of sound architecture in your system. But I dont know how different that would be from the one you're running in Ibex, since it's such a new relase [04:09] DasEi: I know the swap isn't supposed to be so big, I made the partition without thinking [04:09] van: Yeah I'm disinclined to do that. [04:09] usser i would like to be able to unpack archives that have been made into parts [04:09] xorlim, segfault usually means that the libraries you are currently using are different version than the libraries the software was compiled against. [04:10] Tcha:first check with : mount ,that sda6 isn't mounted, then.. [04:10] cabrioleur: ok [04:10] Finiras, rar archives? [04:10] usser yes [04:10] DasEi: in fact I couldn't make a new partition for the swap so I used an existant one [04:10] dle: disinclined? where are u from? :) [04:10] leave ubottu alone [04:10] van: Canada. [04:10] xorlim, did you update from previous ubuntu? Are you using non-standard repositories? [04:10] Finiras, you have to install unrar and ubuntu archive will have that ability [04:10] van: Translation: don wanna. [04:10] Finiras, just open the terminal and type sudo apt-get install unrar [04:10] Tcha:sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sda6 [04:10] ill try thanks usser [04:10] cabrioleur: I updated from 8.04 and I used the update method I found on the Ubuntu site. [04:11] dle: ok. I like the word. It fits perfectly [04:11] cabrioleur: I installed Opera directly from Opera website. [04:11] dle: I'm disinclined to download 680 mb Intrepid just to get sound working but ill have to. The CD ive got wasnt propperly burned === irc is now known as Guest8539 [04:11] anyone know how to setup an ssh tunnel on command line. thought i knew but not working. yet one setup in GUI with SSH Secure Shell working fine. using: ssh -L 9999:mysql.dreamhost_server.com:3306 username@dreamhost_server.com and trying to connect from mysql gui tools to port 9999 on localhost. [04:12] van: Argh. [04:12] Tcha:20 gig for swap is really funny, but its in an extended parti, so you could resize it to win back storage [04:12] dle: the steps for you would be: try to find out what CHIP your soundcard has... [04:12] obama!!!!!!!!!! === N3T is now known as NeT_DeMoN [04:12] cabrioleur: I used the completely graphical method of updating. [04:12] gerrygprs: Please don't. there are other channels for that. [04:12] How do i change so that x-server uses nvidia drivers?? [04:13] dle: if you google for your soundcard name you probably get it. After that it should be quite easy cause you probably find some ubuntu wikipage (Lab test team) or something that will tell you what little line to add [04:13] it's probably in some alsa.conf file under /etc [04:13] xorlim, did you observe any errors? [04:13] I'm not finding a ticket on bugzillia that helps me, when I log in I have to kill gnome-panel at least once before my desktop will load right [04:13] other then a script to do it for me what else can I do?

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [04:16] \Kira, right, you need to do it as sudo: "sudo chmod -Rfv 777 /medium/setup [04:17] <\Kira> TheAnswer: yes, i looked over it before i ran it, as always [04:17] my first interaction with ubottu went very well, thanks [04:17] DasEi: thanks, running [04:17] van: thanks for the tip, I hadn't thought of that.

Yes. The thing is the hardware support is amazing. It's just that hardware keeps changing very quickly. And it's all done by contributors all over the world. That's nice [04:26] ok I try the reboot, see you soon maybe and thank you [04:26] van: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [04:26] dle: if you got not so new hardware it works right out of the box very often [04:26] dle: yes, that's it! thanks [04:26] hey how come 8.10 can't resize my ntfs partition?

The support depends on your driver. [04:31] zedster: -xorg? doesn't exist [04:31] cabrioleur: also, Ubuntu says I'm constantly connected, I'm just not connecting to websites [04:32] any idea for good hdd recovery tool?

To verify what's faulty, you can for instance ping a remote host, and see the variations. Then ping your router, and if variations exist in both cases, it's NIC, if only in remote host, it's the router. There is a lot of different ways, and none of them is perfect.

You could also reinstall the whole ubuntu-desktop package [04:48] van, okay il try that [04:48] Tcha:and 17 and following, though this is the syslog of the live cd [04:48] DasEi: If everything is so totally annoyingly far fetched as to take hours to install such a small thing. Then I guess id rather spend my time on something more worthwhile^^ [04:48] toastedmilk: ping/traceroute/ifconfig might be informative.

I have a tiny question. I made a clean install of Intrepid, added some -dev packages, but I cannot seem to compile GL-related things. gcc -lGL fails, I must be missing a package. Anyone knows which one I need? [05:25] can anyone tell me the command to mount a network folder. temporary not fixed. [05:26] qowao, Sorcererbob looks like you can make one partition smaller, but you cant make the other partition bigger, unless you reinstall [05:26] hmmm [05:26] hey guys, im trying to use bzr with launchpad and im getting this error "bzr: ERROR: Transport operation not possible: http does not support mkdir()" [05:26] this sounds sad [05:27] does anybody know what this greek means? [05:27] might be true jaypro =[ [05:27] jaypro, qowao, Sorcererbob: you can only expand ext3 partitions (directly) by their end, not the beginning. [05:27] in gneral? [05:27] so NTFS pwns ext3 hard? [05:27] how disappointing [05:27] !enter | qowao [05:27] qowao: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:28] I'm running Intrepid in virtualBox and gnome doesn't start properly (hangs w/ a tan background) unless I use a failsafe session.

[05:31] jaypro: You can still move the head of ext3, it just can't be done atomically. [05:31] nikitis: as far as i know, thats not possible [05:31] oh....how would i do it then, Flannel? [05:32] nikitis, 512 seems just too small for ubuntu cd to fit [05:32] Anyone with FIRSTHAND experience in installing an 8800 gts on ubuntu 8.04 [05:32] usser, does the whole cd have to be on there? [05:32] nikitis: yep [05:33] Robb_M, what about a download install via usb boot? [05:33] heinrich: i have 2 in sli. what's the problem? [05:33] jaypro: I believe newer versions of gparted can do it automatically. But, it depends on how big your partition is, and how small you want to make it. Say for instance, it was 2G and you wanted to make it 1G (the later 1G), you'd first shrink it so it was 1G with 1G of freespace, then create a new one in that freespace, then move the data, then delete the old one. Something akin to that. [05:33] les: Great! [05:33] nikitis: do you mean a network cd? [05:34] nikitis, oh yea i forgot you can always get a network install cd and make a live usb off of it [05:34] les: I've downloaded the newest drivers from nvidias homepage [05:34] harware support quesiton... does anyone know for 100% if ubuntu 8.xxxxx supports the intel ITX board with a 1.6ghz ATOM porcessor..... pm me to answer [05:34] and i'm now going to run them, last time errors appeared about kernel missing. [05:34] usser, can't use cd, no drive [05:34] hi if I previously was using a beta version of Intrepid Ibex how do I upgrade to the final release version? [05:34] Flannel: sounds like id have to reinstall anyways, right? [05:34] les: and i'm now going to run them, last time errors appeared about kernel missing. [05:35] jaypro: Not if the sizing/etc works, no. [05:35] usser, oh ok so make the iso, then transfer it to usb drive? [05:35] nikitis, all you need is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:35] hi, anyone use compiz on ubuntu? I wonder how to trigger the desktop cube [05:35] can anyone tell me the command to mount a network folder. temporary not fixed. [05:35] qqun sous hardy ? [05:35] nikitis, and to make bootable usbs install unetbootin [05:36] I mean what keys should I press [05:36] dig: you have compiz installed already ? [05:36] nikitis, unetbootin is pretty user friendly so u shouldnt have any problems with it [05:36] dig: CTRL + ALT + right arrow or left arrow [05:36] or mouse cursor [05:36] I can't record sound, mic or what comes out of the speakers [05:36] I have everything turned up in the mixer [05:36] Anyone Have ANY ideas???!!! :( [05:36] les: Did u do anything else then what they say on Nvidias homepage? [05:37] Flannel: hrmm.. i dont follow you. i have 120GB on XP, 30GB on 8.10. If I reduce 120GB XP to 100GB, that leaves 20GB free with nothing on it. so what would i be creating in the 20GB freespace? [05:37] is that not a new install? [05:37] do I need to run "gnome-volume-properties" as root ? [05:37] heinrich: check to make sure you have the kernel headers installed first [05:37] jaypro: just a new partition. [05:37] this is the second time trying, just reinstalled Ubuntu just in case because of some annoying files.. [05:37] heinrich: also make sure you have a compiler/toolchain insteead (build-essential) [05:37] does anyone know of a web based FTP client? [05:37] FLannel: formated to ext? [05:37] heinrich: other then that i'd need to know an error message [05:37] GeorgeA: That doesn't make a lot of sense. [05:37] jaypro: Yeah [05:37] GeorgeA: net2ftp [05:37] GeorgeA, huh? [05:38] usser, do I put the mini.iso onto the unetbootin usb drive? [05:38] les: and how do i know wich kernel i need? =S [05:38] dig: can also use click the wheel and move your mouse around (if your mouse wheel has a click effect) === ascott_ is now known as ascott [05:38] harware support quesiton... does anyone know for 100% if ubuntu 8.xxxxx supports the intel ITX board with a 1.6ghz ATOM porcessor..... pm me to answer [05:38] oh yeah forgot about that ;] [05:38] Flannel, jport, usser_, in Uni, port 21 is blocked, so I can't connect to my ftp at home. I wanted to put some (web) ftp client on my PC that I can use from uni. [05:38] but you mentioned that the 30GB partition would eventually be deleted, so that the 20GB could be resized to 50GB. but where would 8.10 be runing if you got rid of the 30GB partition [05:39] nikitis, unetbootin is a program once u start it has a field in which u enter path to your iso drive, theres also another field which should have your usb driver information [05:39] (Uni = university) [05:39] heinrich: the one with hardy should be ok unless 177.80 drivers don't support that kernel anymore (i don't have the newest drivers installed) [05:39] hi! [05:39] GeorgeA: check out net2ftp [05:39] jaypro: i think he means that you would start the 20 in the empty space, move the data... delete the 30 and then expand the end of the 20 to fill the space to 50g ... (did i get that right flannel?) [05:39] nikitis, err iso file, usb drive [05:39] jport, alright. [05:39] GeorgeA: www.net2ftp.com [05:39] It kinds of working, but it is not a cube. [05:40] jport, yeah am on it.. but is it safe/secure? [05:40] can anyone tell me the command to mount a network folder. temporary not fixed. [05:40] dig: make sure your options in General are set to desktop horizontal size = 4 [05:40] Agent7629: Yeah, jaypro: 20G new partition in freespace, then move your data from the 30G to the 20G, then delete the 30G and then expand the 20G to 50G [05:40] Even I trun on 6 desktops, it shows 3 sides [05:40] anyone here know anything about lvm? [05:40] SOURdiesel, windows shares? [05:40] jport, the thing is, I'd rather have the client on my own pc. [05:40] Agent7629, FLannel: yeah but where would the operating system be if the 20GB didnt have 8.10 to begin with [05:40] GeorgeA; Yes, dreamhost.com uses it for their hosting [05:40] usser_: yes [05:40] jaypro: You copy it from the 30G [05:41] Flannel... OHHHHHhhhh! i didnt know you could do that [05:41] SOURdiesel, smbmount //compname/share /mountdirectory [05:41] interesting [05:41] GeorgeA: you can download it ,.. link is on the left side [05:41] SOURdiesel, but u have to have smbfs installed to be able to do that [05:41] les: No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you like the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel from the NVIDIA ftp site" [05:41] jaypro: Theres nothing magical about linux files. Copying (assuming you do it correctly, find and cpio) is normal and doable. [05:41] anyone know how to get in touch with ubuntu forums? I'm registered, but can't reset password with their method/links, and can't therefore, login, either [05:41] usser, can you install windows with this utility as well?

[06:09] reqqit: give me a sec, ill go check [06:09] \Kira: oh, hmm... well, what is it mounted as? [06:09] ok, so I can see computers on my network using their ip's, but not their host names.. any way I can resolve that? [06:09] <\Kira> Uplink: yep, ive always had issues with automounting (wich I think is the cause). [06:09] mintsoup, fix /etc/resolv.conf [06:09] my sound quit working and the test feature in preferences -> sound gives errors on pulse,alsa and oss [06:10] how do i start to debug this [06:10] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: Sorry, but how could I find that out? I turned it on before starting the server, so its automounted (at least it mounted at all, unlike my other server) [06:10] mintsoup, you need to know your dns settings... [06:10] pulse says connection refused [06:10] freetown: /etc/resolv.conf contains 'nameserver '.. that seems right doesn't it? [06:10] \Kira: what does 'mount' say? (for that mountpoint) [06:10] mintsoup, ah...but...that is probably for OUTSIDE [06:11] oh [06:11] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: /dev/sdc1 on /media/sdc type vfat (rw) [06:11] er [06:11] mintsoup, you get an answer for 'dig www.yahoo.com'? [06:11] reqqit: mine saved just fine, it defaulted to location /home/user/PDF [06:11] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: It looks right to me... I cant figure out whats wrong... [06:11] \Kira: hmm, can you read the contents of files on it? [06:11] Thx, guys. It works, but windows cannot resize [06:11] freetown, yes I do [06:11] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: yep, I just cant change anything [06:11] I have Krec and Audacity... I can't record in either [06:11] \Kira: do you see anything interesting in the log files? [06:11] \Kira: so its a problem with mounting external HDD? [06:12] \Kira: disclaimer: I don't know what the problem is, just poking around [06:12] jeezy creezy do I really have to make a partition in Vista just to record stuff???!!!! [06:12] nmh-j2graw: lol wtf [06:12] <\Kira> Uplink: im having a conversation with nmh-j2graw about it. not sure yet [06:12] mintsoup, your router will handling Internet names. But internally...you need something else. [06:12] !repeat | thedark_ [06:12] thedark_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [06:12] how do i pipe output from a cli command to a file? command | logfile ? [06:12] that is very interesting. [06:12] \Kira: can you unmount it? [06:12] s/handling/handle/ [06:12] acke: command > file [06:12] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: let me see.... [06:12] !patience [06:12] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:12] Flannel, thx [06:12] Uplink: if I knew the answer, I would just say that - much easier [06:12] Agent7629, wow. yeah they could mention that. thanks [06:12] acke: That overwrites, to append use >> [06:13] nmh-j2graw: depends [06:13] mintsoup, what OSes have you got internally? [06:13] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: device is busy.... then it repeats that once again [06:13] freetown, now i'm able to resolve hostnames on my lan... but the ip's are on a diff subnet? i think it's called? 127.0 instead of 192.168, which it is normally for lans isn't it? [06:13] reqqit: no problem, i just figured it out myself cause i had no real use for it before (accidentally tabbed to window and saw PDF folder... happy surfing [06:13] whats a regression? [06:13] man when Ubuntu was updated and I got my headphones to work, I was pumped... now recording is a hassle... oh Linux, loving you is so hard... [06:13] \Kira: oh, okay. I assume it is an external hard disk - usb? [06:13] I have a quick question. What is vmsplice()??? [06:13] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: yep [06:14] freetown i dunno,.. seems to have resolved itself, but it's still seems kinda strange.. [06:14] thedark_, im in the same sitch, its a tough love [06:14] some user told me i was susceptible to it, and i should update my kernel. [06:14] \Kira: do you have other external, usb disks that DO work? [06:14] mintsoup, er...127 ain't that you want to contact your other boxes [06:14] freetown oh haha [06:14] serisouly, i'm reading on planet ubuntu -- whats a regression? [06:14] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: I havnt tried any [06:14] mintsoup, are the other computers running Windows? [06:14] freetown, i know what's happening.. i connected to another computer and forgot, so i typed 'ping and it gave me the loopback [06:14] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: I have one, and I can try it now, but i need a minute... [06:14] freetown, some are windows, some are linux [06:15] pjKevin: When something is working in a version, and then breaks in a later version. [06:15] specifically the comp im most concerned with is an ubuntu server [06:15] \Kira: I am thinking that your problem sounds like maybe something is unhappy in the kernel or the disk (and misbehaving) - but again, I am not certain [06:15] flannel: ahhh, meaning they take the code back to the other version? [06:15] what program can I use to burn .avi files to a dvd to play them on my dvd player? [06:15] mintsoup, you then need to either setup dns or wins for internal name resolution [06:15] \Kira: testing with another sounds like a good idea, also testing that disk with a different computer as well [06:15] pjKevin: no, no. That they've changed something in the newer version (adding some other feature, cleaning up code, etc) that breaks the old support. [06:16] russel_: devede [06:16] I know its not Ubuntu's fault... few hardware manufacturers support them, so what it can do is amazing in itself... but it still sucks!!!!!!!!! [06:16] freetown.. every other computer on the network is able to resolve the hostnames.. are you talking about a change to this machine locally? [06:16] flannel: icic, ok thanks [06:16] What is vmsplice()? some user told me that i should update my kernel bc i was suceptable to it. and he also told me that he would be sniffing my network activity, and he knew my ISP name and everything, how did he know all of that? [06:16] SOURdiesel: dang that prog is so slow !!! [06:16] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: ugh... now stuff is really messed up... The harddisk now appears to be mounted according to mount, but I cant see anything in /media/sdc, and the disk I connected didnt mount.. [06:17] All Hail OBAMA --- w00t [06:17] russel_: let me know if you find a better one [06:17] SOURdiesel: know anything faster? [06:17] russel_: haha [06:17] What is vmsplice()? some user told me that i should update my kernel bc i was suceptable to it. and he also told me that he would be sniffing my network activity, and he knew my ISP name and everything, how did he know all of that? [06:17] \Kira: okay, now we know more [06:17] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: Ill try switching the harddisk over to my other system. Thanks for the starting point. I think this is more of a thing for the forums... [06:17] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: we know more? I got more confused, lol [06:18] SOURdiesel: guess I'll have to use it then :)...OBAMA!!!! [06:18] im trying to connect to a "normal" windows-friendly pptp vpn, using nm-applet, and getting this error, help? "The VPN connecton [name] failed because there were no valid VPN secrets." [06:18] anyone help plz? [06:18] \Kira: we know something of where it is breaking. this is better than not knowing where the breakage is. [06:18] tuxedocurly: google it? [06:18] russel_: at least it works right [06:18] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: I see [06:18] Uplink: i did.. anyhow how could he know my ISP's name and everything? [06:18] \Kira: do you have another computer you can try one or both of the disks on? [06:19] is linux more or less popular in the US compared to Asia? [06:19] tuxedocurly: i can know your ISP right now [06:19] SOURdiesel: Yeah I guess...peace out :) [06:19] particularly South Korea and Japan [06:19] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: The disk I just plugged in works for sure, I can try the harddisk in a second [06:19] mintsoup, every other computer can resolve names? Then check for the differences in settigns then... [06:19] Uplink: how? [06:19] tuxedocurly: was this on irc? [06:19] Agent7692: yes [06:19] thedark_: Try ##linux, or #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for technical support. Thanks. [06:19] Agent7629: yes [06:19] freetown; ok ;p [06:19] how to uninstall an application ? sudo removeall ? like this some command [06:19] tuxedocurly: type /whois tuxedocurly [06:19] \Kira: well, I guess you could unplug both disks, reboot the machine and then try the second one (see if it works better) [06:20] freetown and everyone else thanks for your assistance [06:20] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: okay, ill try that [06:20] ValentineX: sudo apt-get remove packages, but synaptic makes it easy if you're using Gnome (or Adept if you're using KDE) [06:20] however I have another problem.. The restricted drivers app properly lists my nvidia video card, but when I try to activate the driver, nothing happens.. is this a known problem? [06:21] Flannel: me using gnome, thanks [06:21] !synaptic | ValentineX [06:21] ValentineX: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [06:21] wut happened to your 'gay agenda' blog [06:21] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: well, the external harddisk wont reach to my other computer without like ten minutes of moving, so I cant try it the other machine. My server is booting up now === qb|away is now known as qb|sleep [06:21] I am trying to turn off tooltips across gnome completely. There is a property gtk-enable-tooltips that has a default value of TRUE. An ubuntu report claimed turning it to FALSE should turn them off. I have tried, but do not know the proper way to do so, since I do not know anything about .gtkrc files. Does anyone know a way I can do this for all my apps? [06:21] Can someone help me out? I'm trying to install the latest World of Warcraft and it doesn't seem to work. Trying to run the patch in the Terminal results in a nice long list of errors. http://paste.ubuntu.com/67748/ [06:21] mintsoup, have you tried running Nvidia X settings?

How much time am I looking forward to if I chose to install Ubuntu with the default options. [06:22] Alright, thanks. [06:22] Uplink: thanks bro! [06:22] Filled-Void: Maybe an hour? Its pretty quick. [06:22] freetown, the driver is not installed.. so neither is nvidia-settings [06:22] tuxedocurly: np... btw, who was the user who told you that? [06:23] hi , will ubuntu infected by rootkit? [06:23] Uplink: madara [06:23] Flannel, Thank you :). Just wanted to confirm if I was doing something wrong . [06:23] kelvin911 it's always a possibility ;) [06:23] how? [06:23] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: the /media/sdc/ directory is still there, and the harddisk is unplugged. But there is nothing in the directory. Mount reports the harddisk is not mounted. Ill plug in the other disk [06:23] mintsoup, synaptic should either tell you why you cannot install the nvidia driver or it will do it for you [06:24] tuxedocurly: in what channel [06:24] flannel: do you have any idea what vmsplice() is? [06:24] freetown: ok so should I try through synaptic instead of the restricted drivers manager then? [06:24] mintsoup, did you mark it for installation? [06:24] tuxedocurly: nope [06:24] \Kira: hold on [06:24] Uplink: he was in the #politics channel [06:24] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: opps, I just plugged it in :( [06:24] Flannel: ok thx [06:24] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: it didnt mount, though [06:24] \Kira: well, lets see - you plugged in the second one you tried? [06:24] (this time) [06:25] mintsoup, first install the nvidia-xxx (glx|new) driver package for your card [06:25] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: yes, I just plugged in the second one [06:25] I was trying to build gnome-games from source.. I have built most of the dependencies.. but still i get this error.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/67751/ can someone have a look at it? [06:25] Flannel: thank u :D [06:25] freetown: what's the difference?

[06:25] tuxedocurly: that might be considered as a hack threat [06:26] mintsoup, er...can't say really...nvidia-glx apparently for geforce4 and nvidia-new for newer chips [06:26] Uplink: then what do i do??? [06:26] Or give a command to move a window from one screen to another... [06:26] tuxedocurly: port scanning a remote host without permission is a serious thing [06:26] \Kira: still not mounted? [06:26] !cloak | Uplink, tuxedocurly [06:26] Uplink, tuxedocurly: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse.

It refuses to automount devices plugged in after startup [06:27] Uplink: the dude also said that he would be sniffing my internet traffic nd stuff [06:27] I am updating 8.04 to 8.10. If i put my laptop into sleep and loose my internet connection will the update break my system? [06:27] Flannel: no need for the !cloak bro...

[06:28] freetown i am asking? How can i fix the usplash error? [06:28] mintsoup, okay. a recent one will probably need nvidia-new package [06:28] krishna: Ah, you might want to try #ubuntu-motu then, building packages, etc. [06:28] kev_, oh. dunno. missed it [06:29] Flannel: thank you.

Never thought of that :) [06:35] \Kira: more complete: you can check what the partitions are and then mount one of those [06:36] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: it mounted fine, aside from having to perform it manually [06:36] \Kira: and can you list files? read file contents? write file contents? create new files? === oric is now known as Guest3185 [06:37] i have a download limit. so i can't download another 521 mb. please help [06:37] lol go to a friends place r_rehashed [06:37] can anyone help me?

[06:39] can anyone help me? Thanks. http://paste.ubuntu.com/67756/ [06:39] \Kira: as for root vs. user, vfat doesn't know about users or somesuch. the way linux works around this is to pretend that everything in that filesystem is owned by one user. [06:39] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: I see, thats cool [06:39] \Kira: I think you can mount it so that your normal user owns (and can read/write) the files [06:40] \Kira: yes, the external [06:40] \Kira: maybe try to unmount the little one, unplug it, replug it and then mount (make sure it really works) [06:40] Please help melichar [06:40] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: okay, ill try that. One sec [06:41] anyone? [06:41] ok in genome is there anyway to align the icons horizontaly on the desktop instead of vertically? [06:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/67756/ [06:41] ?

I think you can use fuser or lsof to check if anything is using the device [06:42] \Kira: (fyi, in the future) [06:43] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: lol, it worked.

Yeah I think I got it, but I do have one question about the ubuntu server if you have time [06:44] sudoroot: but they wont stay there [06:44] sparr, 8.10 works great for me no bugs so far.. [06:45] meh screw it, i need to restart anyways [06:45] \Kira: as long as you can accept 'i dont know' as a possible answer [06:45] sparr, there's no way to quickly undo it is there? besides installing from scratch [06:45] nope [06:45] MrPeepers310: try right click and read the settings on the popup menu... unlock it or something [06:45] im probably reinstalling soon [06:46] <\Kira> nmh-j2graw: the system seems slow to update on some things. For instance: I make a group and put myself in it, then I use the groups command to see what groups im in, and the groups command doesnt update until I reboot, but the file permissions and everything change.

[07:02] anyone? [07:02] Hi. I am having a problem with ubuntu. When I boot, it says that fsck has failed. This is probably because I grew some partitions, and shrunk some others from a gparted livecd. How do I tell ubuntu that all is well, and it doesn't need to drop me at a root prompt at boot?

[07:12] Hey guys, I know this is probably a really common question, but I'm having a hard time deciding, for a linux newbie, ubuntu or kubuntu? === kooNewton is now known as koo [07:12] exit [07:12] have u tried both? [07:12] Neurologic: You can try both if you'd like. But Ubuntu, especially right now, is probably a better choice. [07:12] Neurologic: opengeu... u will b amazed... [07:13] Flannel, why do you say what? [07:13] opengeu? O_o...what? [07:14] Neurologic: u can install one... and just install the environment later... boot into ubuntu or kubuntu or xubuntu or other desktop environment... i prefer lxde or xubuntu [07:14] Hi is there firefox 3.1 beta in ubuntu repository? [07:14] Neurologic, in #ubuntu people would recommend ubuntu in #kubuntu they will recommend kubuntu :P it's a matter of personal opinion try ubuntu imo if you didn't like it you can install kubuntu desktop on ubuntu [07:14] Neurologic: ubuntu on steroids.... [07:14] Neurologic: Because a new version of KDE (that's a massive rewrite) (Kubuntu has KDE, Ubuntu has Gnome) just came out, so some aspects are still being figured out, etc. [07:14] Flannel, that's what I was concerned about, I tried KDE4 when it first first came out, and I was terribly confused. [07:15] Plus, it seemed rather...buggy. === kooNewton2 is now known as koo [07:15] apparently KDE4 wasn't very fun, the newer version of it was much improved [07:15] http://opengeu.intilinux.com/ Neurologic [07:15] ubuntuforums.org is down === koo is now known as kooNewton [07:15] Neurologic: so there you go. Go with Ubuntu, and you can always install KDE and try it out again at a later time if you'd like. [07:15] or you could make ubuntu look like vista like i did. i have a screenshot i could send if anyone is intrested [07:16] you changed it to La Trene? [07:16] Hi is there firefox 3.1 beta in ubuntu repository? If yes, what repository is it in?? [07:17] Flannel, I suppose, I'm just really still trying to learn the basics, and when I saw KDE4, it was pretty...but...it was kind of confusing =S I guess I'll just try Ubuntu first. [07:17] Neurologic: install ubuntu... start command line... sudo apt-get intall kde... and there u have gnome and kde... u can log out of ubuntu and change session to kde and log into kubuntu... i have environment now... kde, gnome, lxde, xpde, e17 [07:17] ubuntuforums.org site is currently down. can someone help me? [07:17] Hi. I am having a problem with ubuntu. When I boot, it says that fsck has failed. This is probably because I grew some partitions, and shrunk some others from a gparted livecd.

( ubuntu-es dousen't answer my question ) [07:20] Thanks [07:20] Neurologic: i would recommend ubuntu or xubuntu... xubuntu is much faster and looks the same as ubuntu...

If needed with sudo [07:50] ill try [07:50] I have a copy of 8.10 on cd and an older ubuntu install, what's the cleanest way to reinstall/update it using the least bandwidth I can (and being able to boot off that partition) [07:51] put the cd in and it should display option of upgrade [07:51] unless you have some other old version than 8.04 [07:51] hey can someone give me direct link for 8.10 md5? [07:51] hmm why can't i add icons for gnome-terminal -profiles? [07:51] b33r: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/MD5SUMS [07:51] does anyone know if automatic session saving works in kubuntu? [07:52] Lukian, if you have cd you can't update you need to reinstall [07:52] the icon selection was available in 8.04 but not anymore after upgrading [07:52] Lukian, if you have alternate cd you can update from cd [07:52] Flannel, thank you [07:52] b33r: oh that option is only on the alternate cd? thats a tad uncool [07:53] b33r, reinstall will be fine, I'd prefer to delete everything (bar the files needed to boot) off that partition, can I remove everything except the /boot directory safely? [07:53] Lukian, yeah just format the partition and backup your home directory if you want [07:54] Lukian: you /boot isn't on it's own partition? then a format of the drive will erase that too, tho a clean install will create a new /boot [07:54] ay^, it's not, instead of formatting, can I just delete everything bar that directory? [07:55] why do you need it? [07:55] I'm aware the install will make a new one, but I've had issues with some installs in the past ;) [07:55] Lukian, what issues? [07:55] Lukian: my tip is to create a new small partition of say 200mb [07:55] ay^, can't do that atm, but I'll keep it in mind for when I can [07:55] Lukian: put your old /boot in there and then format everything else [07:56] Lukian: hu? why not? Just delete 200mb of something somewhere and shrink and create === nunuk is now known as nyiel === nyiel is now known as konyiel [07:56] Lukian: gParted is in the livecd [07:57] hmm can an extended partition be flagged as bootable?

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [08:07] and after this is what i got [08:07] should i use the oss [08:07] nullbnx [08:07] ziroday: how? i cant even get to a console [08:07] nullbnx when i tryed then i heard sound [08:07] should i use oss [08:07] ones [08:08] xsacha: if you hit ctrl + alt + f1 you should be able to [08:08] in sound prefernce [08:08] ray_: your sound worked before the update? [08:08] yes [08:08] !enter | ray_ [08:08] ray_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:08] ziroday: i hit this key combination and it says: Loading please wait [08:08] ziroday: on a black screen with white writing [08:08] nullbnx but when i tryed oss sound it comes out with sound [08:08] xsacha: no login prompt? [08:08] ray_: sounds like you need a clean install... [08:08] ray_: then use oss [08:08] wouter: see point 12 in http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2008/10/intrepid-update-faq.html [08:08] no [08:08] just not with asla [08:08] xsacha: try ctrl + alt + f2 [08:09] why ubuntu starts to use swap???? [08:09] ok, think it will be different? [08:09] My PC is acting like "Hover Click" or "Dwell Click" is turned on. It isn't. Can anyone help me with this? [08:09] ray_: either play with settings until things work or clean install... im sure a clean install will fix your problem [08:09] ill try that then [08:09] i have 3GB of ram and the system is using about 1GB and then start swap? [08:09] xsacha: hopefully [08:09] if i disable swap would ubuntu be faster? [08:09] nullbnx if it working with oss works and hear sound dose it mean alas dont like my card [08:09] alsa [08:10] kelvin911: probably not, ubuntu maybe caching it [08:10] should i stay with oss nullbnx [08:10] if it works [08:10] kelvin@kelvin-desktop:~$ free [08:10] total used free shared buffers cached [08:10] Mem: 3116048 2934960 181088 0 681584 1271436 [08:10] -/+ buffers/cache: 981940 2134108 [08:10] Swap: 4096532 39832 4056700 [08:10] kelvin911: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:10] it only wors on oss Nul [08:10] i'm getting invalid signatures when checking for updates with update manager [08:10] is this comen [08:11] just woundering my self nullbnx [08:11] http://pastebin.com/m92e75ab [08:11] kelvin911: please don't flood, from what I can tell you are using very, very little swap at all. Disabling it will not make your system faster [08:11] it starts to use swap not just caching [08:11] but if i have 2GB of ram unuse why using swap? [08:11] ziroday, doesn't do the trick [08:12] kelvin911: your system using swap is not a cause for concern [08:12] ziroday, swap is slower than ram.. [08:12] is it command for alsa not to work and need to use oss [08:12] ? [08:12] wouter: one sec [08:12] is there a way to force the os use all the ram unless it is very necessary to swap? [08:12] my card befor updated the system to 2.6 or somthing like that from a update [08:12] Is there anywhere that I can find updated ubuntu packages? Specifically, I am trying to determine whether rsync 3.0.4 is packaged. [08:12] anyone know why i would be getting invalid signatures from the official hardy repos? [08:12] and now need to use oss sound is this command [08:13] b33r: of course, however if a program is put in swap when the ram is not full will not make it slower [08:13] kelvin911, I say yes disable your swap with 3GB you wont need it [08:13] setuid_w00t: gimme a sec [08:13] just woundering [08:13] can i disable swap without restart? [08:13] wouter: so you did what point 12. said and it didn't work [08:13] kelvin911: yes [08:13] how? [08:13] hey guys [08:13] swapoff [08:13] if i can see my wifi in iwconfig does it mean it's working. Because i can see it and it aint working.

[08:14] maa chudao [08:14] kelvin911: I do it a lot, but if you worried reboot [08:14] any see my last q === __cakey is now known as __cakey|yosi [08:15] or did i get booted [08:15] so i can swap on and off on the fly? [08:15] the network manager says my signal strength but it is unable to authenticate past the gateway [08:15] how do I capture streaming video? [08:15] ray_: I can see it [08:15] when I was in my kubuntu desktop. suddenly everything changed to white, and after rebooting splash screen is ok, but after logging in, again just awhite screen, what's the problem? [08:15] ziroday, yea, did that, opened nautilus with a terminal, right click on any folder and selected open with, the i choose 'Open folder' (wich stands for the nautilus command) [08:15] kelvin911, I think you ave to disable it from fstab but not sure [08:15] ay is it command for alsa not to work and need to use oss [08:15] i have ubuntu 8.10 [08:15] gtk-RecordMyDesktop [08:16] ariqs, in your temp dir will be all your flash [08:16] ziroday: That just tells me that the current version is 3.03. I'm wondering if there are newer packages available outside of the regular intrepid sources. [08:16] My PC is acting like "Hover Click" or "Dwell Click" is turned on. It isn't. Can anyone help me with this? [08:16] ray_: I have no idea [08:16] any one know [08:16] ay do some people need to use oss to get sound working [08:16] i never had to use them [08:16] bob_: I know neither of those two [08:16] thats why im asing [08:16] asking [08:16] Upgraded to 8.10 today, dual monitor as separate x screen, and my bottom panel (task bar) is missing. If I start AWN it doesn't appear either. The resolution is correct for the monitor yet the background image does not appear to reach the bottom. anyone have a clue? [08:17] ray_: probably some do, or they wouldn't be there I suppose [08:17] ariqs, say you wanted to keep a video your watching on youtube. just 'mv /tmp/*.fsh /home' [08:17] ay o ok thanks [08:17] ray_: np :) [08:17] sysdoc, CRT or LCD? [08:17] LCD [08:17] NVIDIA [08:17] odd :o [08:18] 不会用xchat阿 [08:18] does anyone know anything about getting wifi working? [08:18] Nvidia settings lists the 2 nd LCD as CRT tho [08:18] dataflow: well not much [08:18] 这里好像都是说英语的，我想到中文的 [08:18] dataflow: did you try wicd? [08:19] you cant chat chinese here [08:19] wouter: correct, try login and out again [08:19] not yet. it wasnt in apt-get so... [08:19] ill find it [08:19] dataflow: I know some poeple had o success with NM, but great success with wicd in hardy, intrepid is all new to me so I don't know about that but you could try [08:19] dataflow: no you have to add its repository [08:19] setuid_w00t: err there could be one of the in a PPA somewhere or possibly on getdeb.net, your best bet is to google around [08:19] !cn | wamng [08:19] wamng: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [08:19] ziroday, it works, thx man, wish i could help you in any way [08:19] ziroday: What is PPA? [08:20] wouter: no problem :) [08:20] !ppa > setuid_w00t [08:20] setuid_w00t, please see my private message [08:20] Anyone know of a way to stop certain gnome-panel applets from changing color when I mouse-over them? I'd like them to remain transparent rather than changing to my theme's color. [08:20] see you guys [08:20] setuid_w00t: basically a private ubuntu repo for any launchpad member [08:20] hi, i'm trying to upgrades my hardy server to 8.10, i run update-manager -d then click upgrade but i always get W: failed to fetch ..... some index files failed to download [08:20] what on earth does this error mean? " "Unable to create io-slave. klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'trash'." [08:20] i tried different mirrors but same problem [08:20] My PC is acting like "Hover Click" or "Dwell Click" is turned on. It isn't. Can anyone help me with this? [08:20] kwak: try with update-manager -c instead of -d [08:21] Hi === Guest75833 is now known as Wendal [08:21] bob_: Try Preferences > Windows > Window Selection === Wendal is now known as Guest77188 [08:22] this is so aggravating. gwenview's my favorite way to organize pictures, and it cant even delete to trash [08:22] -c doesn't show the available 8.10 upgrade [08:22] c0mp13371331337:Not checked!?! [08:22] kwak: did you enable the "upgrade to new releases" in software sources? [08:22] did a kernel update happen today? v8.10 === Guest77188 is now known as Wendal_x [08:23] vasilisa: you can complain to the gwenview authors [08:23] jim_p: yea [08:23] ziroday: I would, except that the same bug happens in some other apps. [08:23] bob_: Are you running compiz? I THINK I remember seeing an option somewhere in CCSM for raise-window-on-mouseover. [08:23] ay^: thanks [08:23] is there supposed to be an indication of my wifi in /etc/network/interfaces? [08:23] vasilisa: then file a bug :), note that gwenview is a kde app and issues may be centering from that. Try it under kde [08:24] dataflow: nope [08:24] ok [08:24] ziroday: I am ... but no one has answers in the kde/kubuntu community.... [08:24] bob_: That, or your demon-posessed mouse is constantly clicking by itself. ;-) [08:24] I have an active SMB share but cannot remove it... webmin and samba show only one shared resource (the printer) [08:24] I am running 8.04, I think Compiz is native but I'm not sure. Kinda a noob. Problem really is when typing. My cursor will moove to the mouse pointer wiith out notice [08:25] bob_: Laptop? [08:25] bob_: are you on a laptop? [08:25] c0mp13371331337: Yes Dell Inspiron 600m [08:25] bob_: if so try to disable the touchpad. I had my touchpad clicking all over the place at random intervals [08:25] bob_: mine is dell 1525 ;P I see a pattern [08:25] hi [08:25] or only disable while typing, the touchpad can be useful [08:26] ziroday, any other suggestions [08:26] fenerli7: if it does what mine did, which is right clicking, it sucks everywhere ;P [08:27] vasilisa: did you try it under kde? [08:27] bob_: Ah yes. I work for Dell tech support. That's a very common call, actually. The touchpad has an option where you can tap it to click somewhere. Your wrists are hitting the touchpad, causing a click at wherver the cursor is. I don't know how to change the tap-to-click sensitivity in Ubuntu, unfortunately. We deal mostly with Windows where I work. :-P [08:27] ay^: lol... that's messed up [08:27] ziroday: he is on kubuntu afaik [08:27] ziroday: yeah i did :( [08:27] kwak: sorry is the option that enables you to go to new releases enabled in System sources? [08:27] ay^: I could try that when I get home. I don't have a spare mouse here. Did you ever find answe? [08:27] c0mp13371331337: gsynaptics [08:27] fenerli7: oh yeah it was randomly making me crazy [08:27] vasilisa: ah, well then you need to file a bug or ask for help in #kubuntu [08:28] ay^: i can imagine [08:28] c0mp13371331337:I don't think I'm doing that but I will pay more attention. Thats for the idea! [08:28] bob_: nopes.. I always carry a mouse with me [08:28] ay^: that sounds like a pain [08:28] bob_: get gsynaptics to configure to touchpad [08:28] bob_: indeed.. [08:28] bob_: fenerli7: There you have it, gsynaptics. [08:28] ziroday: u.u k... [08:29] Thanks All!!!! I'll give it a try. [08:29] vasilisa: sorry I don't follow? [08:29] ziroday: oh, that was a sad face sorry :) i said 'kay' [08:29] ziroday: u.u = sad dude [08:29] vasilisa: ay^: okay [08:30] vasilisa: best place to ask is #kubuntu [08:30] hello [08:30] ziroday: im there... and in #kde. just asking everywhere hoping someone can translate the error message [08:30] the release notes of Gnome 2.24 mention a new timetracker applet, but I can't seem to find it in ubuntu 8.10 [08:30] do I need to install a separate package for it ? [08:31] anyone know a good suite for digital camera stills and video for burning CD's/DVD's. tovid is broken right now in Ubuntu 8.10 [08:31] bloemkool: yep, its called hamster-applet [08:31] k tnx [08:31] yt766i: brasero? [08:32] I use brasero, but I need something that'll convert the .mov to an older format, because my DVD player is old. Preferably mpeg-2 [08:32] I know KDE has some tools, but I want a Gnome app. [08:33] how can I check the size of my swap partition? and why does ubuntu say I am out of space when I try to hibernate? [08:33] hmms.. I just installed gsynaptics, but it wants me to set SHMConfig to True in xorg.conf, but in xorg.conf it just says that HAL is used, how do I enable this now? [08:35] dominik; parted will tell you this. I'd install gparted via sudo apt-get install gparted because it's graphical. It'll show you the size, and let you adjust. [08:35] ziroday: anything special I need to do after installing the hamster-applet package through synaptic ? [08:35] Morning all. I'm trying to upgrade to 8.10 from 8.04 by using the Update Manager, but it's not showing the distribution upgrade button. I've ensured 'Normal' is set in the update tab of the settings for software sources, and upgraded everything, but I'm still not seeing the button. Any ideas? [08:35] because it still doesn't show up in the list of applets when I click 'Add to panel...' on the panel === inzion is now known as tobias [08:36] I've read the ubuntu wiki for upgrade and followed the steps, as well as ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrade [08:37] atc-, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [08:37] bloemkool, I've run into that. If it's listed in the menu, right-click and you should be able to add to panel. [08:38] b33r, I don't want to dist-upgrade becaues that causes issues and the update manager will deal with them for me. I want to do it as recommended so I have a working PC at the end of it. It's a work machine afterall [08:38] atc-, tried update-manager -d ? [08:39] b33r, not yet [08:39] How much is changing to the intrepid repos and doing a dist upgrade going to mess up for me, when going from 8.04 ? === __cakey|yosi is now known as __cakey [08:39] yt766i: sorry, what do you mean exactly by right-clicking ? where should I right click ? [08:39] atc-, well try =d [08:40] oh never mind, now it does show up in the list of applets [08:40] guess I needed to wait a little bit [08:40] Mouse-over the menu entry if it's there, like you were going to run the prog. Then right-click. I had to do that with Thunderbird, as it wasn't in the Add to Panel opt. [08:40] hi... i find that firefox is sometimes laggy if there are a large amount of javascript on the webapge... any ideas how to fix it? [08:40] thanks for the help everyone [08:41] sup yall [08:41] how can I use envy to install my driver in console mode?\ [08:41] Seaboy: what driver exaclty? [08:42] hello [08:42] is there anyone who knows how to rescue a lvm volume group?

I,ve already installed 173 driver, and after some hours working with that, this happened [08:47] kelvin911: swapiness is not that much of a gain. instead, try to remove junk you dont need like lvm [08:47] Seaboy: do you use compiz? [08:48] is there no built in function in ubuntu that can disable touchpad while typing? [08:49]  jim_p: no, and I use kde [08:50] Seaboy: kde4? kde4 had some bug with some nvidia driver [08:50] whats lvm? [08:51] yt766i: gparted does not let me move or resize my partitions :( [08:51] kelvin911: some app needed for raid arraid and the like. Logical Volume Manager [08:51] ? [08:51] jim_p: yes, I just want my desktop back, even with no nvidia driver, what should I do? [08:51] i just did swapoff -a [08:51] i think that will stop using swap [08:52] Seaboy: let me think [08:52] yt766i: is it possible that it does not let me resize/move them because more then half the disk is ntsf? [08:52] how to stop the os using swap in next reboot? [08:52] hey... does anybody else experience lag in firefox? [08:52] me me me [08:52] Hi, how do I check which kernel version I'm running from the terminal ? [08:52] Seaboy: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and give us your graphics card [08:52] Petester: I am disapointed by ff3 [08:53] abe3k: uname -a [08:53] Seaboy: 8.10? [08:53] experience lag in firefox when closing it [08:53] ziroday : thanks dude [08:53] Dominik: SO yu mean FF3 is the problem, not ubuntu? [08:53] Petester: ya [08:53] hello :) has anybody here play "unreal tournament" (original version from 2000) on ubuntu? works, but very slow on compiz. i read the solution was "sudo X :1 -ac & DISPLAY=:1 ./ut" to start without xgl, with this i hear sound but black screen :(. "xgame" script gives me the same result :( [08:53] sigh, but im a hardcore fan of ff3... dont want to use opera.... lol [08:53] opera is way better [08:53] petester: use ff2 [08:54] mrpinky: why don't you disable compiz whilst playing the game? [08:54] jim_p: yes [08:54] is it possible to set the refresh rate in the splash screen? [08:54] how to disable compiz? :) [08:54] oh ff2 is better? [08:54] alright i should try it [08:54] !browsers | Petester [08:54] Petester: Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [08:54] petester: ya, the move to ff3 demands more ram and faster cpu [08:54] @kelvin911: except there are no addons on opera [08:54] mrpinky: open a terminal and type in metacity --replaec [08:54] what addon? [08:54] addons that firefox support [08:54] opera already have all the features [08:55] eh, i thought ff3 was supposed to be much better with RAM [08:55] it does? [08:55] mrpinky: or go to System > Preferences > Appearance > Effects > No Effects [08:55] ok i go and try that now, if everything goes quiet then "connection reset by peer", you know i had to ctrl+alt+bksp :) [08:55] @carpeliam: it is in windows [08:55] not ubuntu somehow [08:55] all those crap-on for ff, opera already have them [08:55] carpeliam: yea so they say, but my ff2 is fast, ff3 is not, soo? [08:55] Seaboy: there is thread here at a gtreek forum. the ir conclusion is to use the opensource nv driver and wait for nvidia for a fix [08:56] kelvin911: that is not true, and they are not crapons [08:56] agreed with dominik [08:56] can someone help me with mounting ext partitions to the desktop. I installed with a seperate home partition and 2 other storage partitions i would like these to display on my desktop. my fstab http://paste.ubuntu.com/67810/ [08:56] ziroday: wow, not only does that work for ut, but all the lag on my normal desktop applications is gone! [08:56] thanks :) [08:56] jim_p: so what exactly should I do? I mean in console mode [08:57] mrpinky: great :), your computer must not have been able to take compiz [08:57] compiz? [08:57] !compiz | Dominik [08:57] i guess so :) ok game time, seeya later [08:57] Dominik: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [08:57] Dominik: the shiny effects you may be seeing on your desktop [08:58] Seaboy: how does the new xorg in 8.10 configure itself? i am sure there is a tool somewhere. open it and select "nv" as the driver to use. you will lose any 3d acceleration though [08:58] compiz is the de best thing on ubuntu [08:58] Petester: wrong! [08:58] if only video card drivers were decent enough to support it, it might be alright. [08:58] jim_p: [08:58] ? [08:58] ah, that's better [08:58] is there a way to get the CD burning software to be slightly more descriptive when it has a problem? [08:58] Seaboy: jim_p: you can change the Driver "nvidia" line to Driver "nv" line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:59] gordonjcp: use a different cd burner? [08:59] gordonjcp: software that is :) [08:59] ok, I have very bad pc, so I want no effects, I suppose I don't want compiz then, but the problem is if you turn of the effects under preferences then you can no longer switch workspaces by scrolling your mouse wheel :(, which is the strongest feature of linux === casper__ is now known as hummesse [08:59] ziroday: what do you suggest? [08:59] ziroday, do you know if the xorg.conf settings apply to the splash screen at all? i know i can set my resolution in usplash.conf, but i'm having refresh rate problems [09:00] Petester: are you on nvidia or something? ask an ati guy how he feels! the best thing in ubuntu 8.10 is the new kernel with the huge support for wireless and the like [09:00] Seaboy: i don't have access to any tool, I just can use console [09:00] gordonjcp: err try k3b? [09:00] ziroday: the "desktop" one just keeps asking me to put a disk in, and wodim just keeps asking me to put a disk in [09:00] ziroday: what does k3b use for the cd burner backend? [09:00] Seaboy: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [09:00] ziroday: you mean just replacing the word nvidia with nv? [09:00] gordonjcp: not sure, also see brasero [09:00] ziroday: I suspect changing the front end won't help [09:00] yeah, im on nvidia [09:00] how does ati has to do with wireless? [09:00] Seaboy: correct [09:01] gordonjcp: cdrwtools i think is the backend [09:01] ziroday: isn't brasero just another frontend? [09:01] jim_p: ok [09:01] ziroday: Thanks, I'm gonna try it [09:01] Seaboy: good luck :) [09:01] wow opera has no lag! [09:02] hrm [09:02] is it possible for an IDE CD writer to just plain not work with Linux? [09:02] gordonjcp: reasonably impossible [09:02] Petester: ati's fglrx are incompatible with corg v1.5 that 8.10 has. it just does not work! [09:02] *xorg [09:03] jim_p: I think you will find that only applies for _some_ dirvers [09:03] *drivers [09:03] jim_p: Aw, that just sucks =( [09:03] ziroday: that ati effect? [09:03] (i didn't mean any sarcasm) [09:04] jim_p: only some cards don't work with the new xorg (the reasonably old ones) the others work just fine under the fglrx driver [09:04] That's what Pontios Pilat said [09:04] Mahalo: do you have a question we can help you with? [09:04] Yup. [09:04] MSI in wine [09:04] ziroday: thing is that fglrx does not work with xorg 1.5! sure, radeon and radeonhd drivers do work, but they do the ~20% of what fglrx can do in 3d [09:05] rather .msi in wine [09:05] Mahalo: err you find it best to ask in #winehq, what program? [09:05] sitespinner [09:05] ok, the problem is this: my CD drive will load and mount a CD just fine, and that works, but it cannot write to a CD - it just returns "no disk/wrong disk" [09:05] actually bought and paid fer [09:05] is it possible that a given CD writer just doesn't work with Linux? [09:05] jim_p: err I think you will find that the fglrx drivers run under xorg 1.5 [09:05] maybe the disk is really wrong [09:05] so how to disable swap in fstab? [09:06] Freku: tried several disks [09:06] do i just comment out that line? [09:06] also, the CD writer works perfectly in NetBSD [09:06] I didn't try #winehq I tried their forums [09:06] but dual-booting just so I can write CDs is a pain in the hindmost [09:06] so other than switching to opera or ff2, there is no way i can get rid of the lag? [09:07] Petester: you can try a wide variety of other browsers out there if you are not happy with firefox [09:07] But I think I'd like to observe if it OK, I like to absorbe other issues to know how to take care of my own later. [09:07] i would have thought i can fix the lag with some tweaks in firefox [09:07] My issue is reallly slack [09:07] i didn't really want to use other browsers =( [09:08] Has anyone ever made a GRUB menu background before?? [09:09] is getdeb.net going to provide packages for ubuntu 8.04.1 in the future now that Intrepid is out? [09:09] jxander: we don't support getdeb here so we don't know. Ask them in #getdev [09:09] jxander: sorry #getdeb [09:09] so other than suggestions to change the pretty frontend, no-one's got any advice on sorting out the CD-ROM then? [09:10] ziroday, thanks, i didn't know about the channel... [09:10] maybe a rights problem ? [09:10] jxander: no problem :) [09:10] Freku: presumably if that was the case, then running wodim as root would work [09:10] yep [09:10] Freku: in any case, I shouldn't need to mess about with permissions for it to work [09:10] whois [09:11] 8.10? [09:11] just try to google it and rights came up [09:11] :) [09:11] hi /all [09:11] tinybear: do you have a question we can help you with? [09:11] ziroday: are you on ati AND fglrx on ubuntu 8.10? [09:11] jim_p: unfortunately no, lemme go dig something up :) [09:12] jim_p: see http://www.ubuntu.net/getubuntu/releasenotes/810#ATI%20%22fglrx%22%20video%20support [09:13] jim_p: and see http://www.rebelzero.com/hardware/ubuntu-810-atiamd-fglrx-driver-updated/30 [09:13] jim_p: and you can ask the great people in #ubuntu-x as well :) [09:13] Freku: it says there's no medium present - I don't see how permissions would cause that [09:13] Freku: it works perfectly in NetBSD, so I'm guessing the drive is okay [09:13] ziroday: wait there [09:13] jim_p: yessir [09:13] gordonjcp: if you lack read-permissions it wouldnät notice the medium, I suppose [09:14] yeah its a real strange 1 [09:14] ay^: if I run it as root, permissions shouldn't be a problem [09:14] tried it with a livecd yet ? [09:14] gordonjcp: oh that might be true.. [09:15] Freku: what's wrong with that picture? === lakitu2 is now known as lakitu [09:15] lol [09:15] hehe [09:15] i shutting up now :) [09:15] Freku: think carefully now... ;-) [09:15] what is sit0 and wmaster0 in my ifconfig [09:15] have you tried it with a liveUSB? [09:16] what the way to get Atheros AR242x 802.11abg going in hardy? [09:16] ziroday: hmmmm when did ati fix it? this would be big news ! even bigger then the economical crisis [09:16] just need some direction [09:16] jim_p: a while before 8.10 was released :) [09:17] Cann0n: for sit0 read http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/02/msg02537.html [09:17] ndis wrapper? [09:17] ziroday, if i've checked the backports then will i get new releases of the packages i use even if i'm on 8.04.1? in fact, the question would be: will there be other official updates besides security updates for 8.04.1? [09:17] jxander: sometimes, what packages are you looking for? [09:17] what is sit0 and wmaster0 in my ifconfig [09:17] b43 [09:17] Hi there, ive got a folder under Places Network which is a sftp location, i open a file from this within dreamweaver under wine,which opens fine. So i try and save it, yet rather than saving to where it should, its now listing it under say: /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/user/documents/then the file.tpl any ideas why? [09:17] Cann0n: and wmaster0 is probably your wireless card [09:17] Hello [09:18] ziroday: what about wlan0? [09:18] why would i have two? [09:18] I have a question, I just updated from hardy to intrepid, but while updating, the installer removed support for my wifi, it was previously autoconfigured when i installed hardy... what do i do to fix it? :) [09:18] why does running wireshark as root dangerous?????? [09:18] (noob question!!) [09:18] Cann0n: see this forum thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=697807 [09:19] where are the gnome-session sattings stored? [09:19] *settings [09:19] Bullen: have you looked in err System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [09:19] Dang, you folk are active! [09:19] smack_tat: running any program as root is dangerous [09:19] im actually pretty tired of reading forums... no one has yet gave me a link to any kind of information other than a bunch of noobs bickering about ndiswrapper, when i dont even have ndiswrapper support in my kernel [09:20] can u descrbie the danger [09:20] what can it do? [09:20] This is great, I know where to shop when I need assistance. Thanks for doing what y'all are doing. [09:20] smack_tat: it can potentially write to important system files doing horrible things to your computer [09:20] smack_tat: I'm only guessing here, but perhaps overwrite some settings for you connection [09:21] omg...... [09:21] smack_tat: it's not that dangerous. [09:21] i am doing security and i am not aware of those dangers [09:21] it wont make your computer not boot the next time you shutdown [09:21] smack_tat: consider it impossible if not run as root, and possible when done as root [09:21] oh, I give up [09:22] smack_tat: security in which sense? iptables/ipchains and nat? [09:22] Cann0n: it can [09:22] ok!!!! got it [09:22] smack_tat: same with any app, say gedit, if you aint running it as root you CANNOT write to importan system files, while as root you can, doesn't mean you WILL [09:22] evidently Linux won't work with this CD writer [09:22] weird, but there you go [09:22] CAnnon: i'm idoing an infosecurity project [09:22] * DreadKnight @ anyone knows a good pixel font manager? [09:22] ziroday: now why would have i two wifi interfaces if one doesnt work, and it never popped up until i compiled 2.6.27.2 [09:22] gordonjcp: does it work with a live environment? [09:22] * DreadKnight @ anyone knows a good pixel font creator* ? [09:22] ay^: I have no way of knowing [09:23] Cann0n: did you read the forum thread I sent you? [09:23] smack_tat: type can and then hit the tab button. thats called tab completion [09:23] while i learn about network sniffing, i try to encrpt messegers [09:23] ay^: 1) how would I boot from a live cd then burn a cd, and 2) how would I burn the livecd in the first place? [09:23] ok [09:23] gordonjcp: you dont ;P [09:23] DreadKnight: possibly http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ [09:23] ay^: well there you go then [09:23] gordonjcp: you put the environment on a USB-stick instaed [09:23] ay^: haven't got a big enough one [09:24] gordonjcp: w00t it only needs like 1gb [09:24] ziroday, many, vlc for example... i asked on getdeb, but they didn't answer, so i was hoping that at some point, the official ubuntu repositories would get a newer version of vlc... [09:24] hi, I need help with mpd, i can't see database in any client. nothing in log. mdp.db look's OK. [09:24] ay^: I don't have USB sticks, they're just not something I use [09:24] gordonjcp: what a shame ;P [09:24] jxander: there is new version in 8.10, 8.04 will not recieve updates to those programs as it goes against the entire 6 month release idea [09:24] ay^: what difference would booting from a live environment make anyway? [09:25] gordonjcp: so the only other choice is to boot the livecd from your hdd [09:25] ziroday: thanks, already installed that... will give it a try, not sure if it's for pixel fonts... [09:25] gordonjcp: well it might be that during the install, some error snuck in. [09:25] DreadKnight: ah sorry, not very familiar with fonts. Possibly the people in #ubuntu-art might know [09:25] gordonjcp: I've had that happen to my wifi once, worked great in live didn't work in installed [09:25] ; d [09:26] ziroday, thanks... that's the answer i was looking for... [09:26] ziroday: yeah i did but it didn't tell me anything [09:26] ay^: worth a shot I suppose [09:26] ziroday: thanks for the suggestion, will ask there as well :-) [09:26] hi, I need help with mpd, i can't see database in any client. nothing in log. mdp.db look's OK. [09:26] maybe borrow a 2nd drive from a friend ? [09:26] ay^: right, well, I'll go and get a USB drive then [09:26] only reason im in here is because it's 4:27 my time and all my regular chans are dead... and it's driving me crazy [09:26] ay^: I know the drive works perfectly [09:27] Cann0n: is your wireless not working? [09:27] links to forums suck. the one you send me, they mostly talked about some dude who had been away for a while... ziroday [09:27] ziroday: im on wifi... [09:27] Some one Run World of warcraft on ubutnuu?

[09:28] on ibex, when my desktop fx are on, i yakuake doesn't seem to display the bottom-most line properly. it's as if it updates only sometimes. ubuntu is fully updated and upgraded. what should I do to fix this? if I can't, is there a good alternative to yakuake that you recommend? [09:28] gordonjcp: tho I have to go to now, but there are ways at least. [09:28] Cann0n: woops. please read ^^^ [09:28] so this is a new kernel feature then? [09:29] Cann0n: err not, its setup by the driver. === c is now known as Guest1605 [09:29] but b43 never brought wmaster0 until after i compiled a new kernel [09:30] Cann0n: then contact the b43 authors and ask them about it [09:30] <^andrea^> Hi everyone, I just installed the SAMBA server under Hardy, it works pretty well... the unique problem is that it does not start on boot, any idea? thanks (PS: I didn't find any advice about this under hardy) [09:31] good [09:31] !boot | andreaja_ [09:31] andreaja_: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [09:31] woops, ^andrea^ please read ^^ [09:31] i guess this was the wrong place to come for help [09:32] cover me [09:32] the solutions I use to use on hardy to automatically mount disks are no longer working on ibex. what can I do to automatically mount disks?

[09:52] Linux was made to be similar in many ways to Unix, but isn't derived from it. [09:52] I'm getting my mailbox bombed every 20 mins with Cron Daemon msg: /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail: 1248: /usr/sbin/sendmail-msp: not found [09:53] what do you mean not derived from it [09:53] is it safe to remove sendmail? [09:53] <^andrea^> jxander: hehe, if you wanna try... http://www.oneopensource.it/04/11/2008/ubuntu-810-sfruttare-pulseaudio/ [09:53] tonyyarusso: what year did linux come out in? [09:53] is this computer history 101.....Read a book [09:53] Cann0n: 93 [09:53] iirc [09:53] The-Croupier: I mean they do not share any code, so it can't be said that Linux was a fork or anything from Unix. [09:53] Cann0n: 1991. [09:53] ^andrea^, i have no choice :P [09:53] siccness: thats the year Slackware came out. :P [09:53] We should continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic though. [09:53] It doesn't matter, UNIX is superior. [09:54] THere's nothing better than IBM's AIX. [09:54] siccness: why is that [09:54] siccness: then why aren't you on slackware? [09:54] jxander: so the problem you have is that only one program can play sound at a time? [09:54] <^andrea^> jxander: ask in a private chat if you need help... [09:54] I'm on Windows, Cann0n [09:54] nmh-j2graw, yeah... [09:54] The-Croupier: VIO/LPAR/DLPAR/APAR [09:54] ^andrea^, thanks :D [09:54] That's why. [09:54] Power6 [09:54] siccness: then why are you in #ubuntu and using windows? [09:54] Hi, if I would like to connect through my 3G mobile phone, an Sony Ericsson W890i would that be possible in ubuntu? I only found some guide using an Nokia. [09:54] Cann0n: because Jesus told me to. [09:55] im pegan [09:55] in some countries thay dont believe in jesus [09:55] Jesus loves everyone, even ppl who use windows [09:55] or ubuntu [09:55] The-Croupier: That's not specific to countries. [09:55] well, im new to linux [09:55] Hi. i nead some help with my mouse. ist a mx518. sidebuttons works in FF but not in nautilus. i have tryed to google it but cant finde annything. annyone have a solutin for this? [09:55] nmh-j2graw, i'll try something from what ^andrea^ gave me and then i'll give you more details... [09:56] splitz: I have a solution but you're not going to like it [09:56] that is? [09:56] hello ! [09:56] Don't use the sidebuttons. === root is now known as Guest99304 [09:56] ls === iht05aya is now known as Kwai [09:56] no, with this apt-get mouse driver thing, how do i get up wheel mouse? [09:56] granden: most mobile phones with bluetooth expose a 'modem', just try browsing it with some bluetooth tools [09:56] the Free Si [09:56] well i kind of need it. [09:57] You don't kind of need it, you wan't it. [09:57] HELLO [09:57] jxander: sounds good - I am not familiar with pulseaudio, but one thing I saw was "turn it off" [09:57] *want [09:57] I don't know if that will do much for you [09:57] !LIST [09:57] 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 [09:57] henkpoley: Ok, I guess I have to check it out then. Havent bought the laptop yet, I first need to know if itt would work. [09:57] angy221: YOUR CAPS LOCK IS BROKEN [09:57] i need it to be more productive when i work... [09:58] ciao [09:58] is it ok to have root and be in here? [09:58] !list [09:58] 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 [09:58] granden: does your phone have bluetooth? And do people use it for internet sharing on windows or OS X ? [09:58] is sendmail actually needed [09:58] <^andrea^> nmh-j2graw: I don't know what jxander's problem is, but that tutorial solved my problem under hardy... [09:58] how do i turn off passwords for my user? that gets annoying [09:58] nmh-j2graw, you mean bypass pulseaudio? i've heard that is necessary for audacity to work [09:58] im trying to set up mouse wheel [09:58] the launch of the Free Software Awards " Trophées du Libre 2009" [09:58] henkpoley: I dont know if it works with internet sharing with bluetooth but I used it with cable on Windows [09:58] ^andrea^, reading it... i still got it :P [09:58] granden: then you ought to get it to work [09:58] And yes it got bluetooth. [09:58] being root and be anywhere is not nice... but whatever works for you [09:58] ^andrea^: well, if it worked, that should be good [09:59] granden: err dunno about cables though [09:59] Ok [09:59] I would not mind using bluetooth but ain't that a bit slow for 3G? [09:59] Cann0n: im root everywhere [09:59] HDSPA* [09:59] I wouldn't be concerned [09:59] <^andrea^> nmh-j2graw: afak just skype does not like PulseAudio at all... [09:59] siccness: you don't make user? [09:59] ^andrea^, i might forgotten to install one of the packets... who knows... checking :) [09:59] ^andrea^: oh, well I don't like skype, so I don't worry about that [09:59] Got better things to do than make users [10:00] <^andrea^> nmh-j2graw: of course I didn't try all the software in the world... ;-) [10:00] http://www.trophees-du-libre.org [10:00] anyone good at torrents? [10:00] siccness: for how man months have you used linux? [10:00] Since 1999 [10:00] so whatever year we're in now [10:00] what ports do i have to open? 6881 to 6889 is not good enough [10:00] it is 2015. [10:01] jim_p: open them all [10:01] its 2090 [10:01] siccness: do you understand the concept of making a user versus using root all the time? [10:01] No, please inform me young wise man. [10:02] I assumed that all users contained the same priveleges regardless of their name! [10:02] granden: you could try on your current system [10:02] Oh no, what have I been doing wrong for these last 9 years!?!?! [10:02] grizzancs, The-Croupier: 2015 to 2090? i think isp block these [10:02] siccness: are you use you use linux? [10:02] sure* [10:02] Why is it that after every reboot, the ethernet looses configuration? It always reverts to DHCP configuration. [10:02] I think so, I mean, I dunno, am i?!?!? [10:02] tard alert [10:02] I have this problem where when I plug in my AC adapter it shuts the comp off. Does anyone have a fix? [10:02] Neaai: save the configuration might be a solid starting point [10:03] if i recall right, being in root all the time can be dangerous.... [10:03] henkpoley: I dont know really if it would work I'm using Slackware on through VMWare. So Its not a physical computer. [10:03] Cann0n: why is that? [10:03] The-Croupier: is it safe? [10:03] siccness: if there were a save option yes. [10:03] !anacron [10:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about anacron [10:03] Neaai: oh but there is. [10:03] it gives you the ultimate power to do somthing stupid and destroy your system [10:03] I guess I could try with a LiveDisc on my macbook though. [10:03] The-Croupier: from what port to what? [10:03] lianimator1: if you open ports its never safe [10:03] * march is away: brb [10:03] granden: is slackware cool or what? [10:03] !power manager | Tyrath [10:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about power manager [10:03] The-Croupier: even on a linux? [10:03] chopp: :) [10:03] lianimator1: you dont have to open anything.. just check what port does your torrent app use [10:04] to get my network to work I have to type ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 every time the other computer is switched on. How can I fix this or perform it automatically? [10:04] siccness: no there's not. there's only "OK" and "cancel" [10:04] and open only that [10:04] slackware > ubuntu = death > windows [10:04] But I get a ubuntu live disc and try it on my macbook. I could get the normal i386 version for my macbook right? [10:04] is slackware a ubuntu fork? [10:04] siccness: i dont understand how you give help yet know little about basic linux security. [10:04] no [10:04] chopp: No [10:05] Anyone ever make a Grub menu background ?? [10:05] The-Croupier: I've configured transmission to use 6881 to 6889 and firestarter to open those. I think I'm fine. [10:05] how close is ubuntu to linux? like does it just use shell or is it actually really alike? [10:05] Slackware and Ubuntu should never EVER be in the same sentence, unless the sentence is "Slackware is better than Ubuntu" [10:05] Cann0n: I don't either, I must be guessing! [10:05] and don't give me the, its a lsb stuff [10:05] Cann0n: :D [10:05] :P [10:05] * Tyrath has never used linux so can [10:05] -t compare [10:05] what is this crazyness? [10:06] 't compare [10:06] We are delighted to announce the launch of the "Trophées du Logiciel libre" (called TL09 for free software development) on October 15th, 2008 and should be closed by the winning ceremony around the second quarter of 2009. [10:06] got a quick gnomer question I know its offtopic and for a deblike dist but is there a way to startup pidkin w/out using xession or the like at the start of a gnome login? [10:06] maxime_: grats :D [10:06] pidgin even [10:06] * Tyrath should join the cause and develop some software but only knows java :/ [10:07] got too many pikmins on the brain I guess =P [10:07] oh... and vb [10:07] but vb doesn't count :P [10:07] www.trophees-du-libre.org [10:07] and I know ASP and PHP but you can't program with those too :/ [10:07] just free licence [10:08] how do I make file browser have root permissions? [10:08] chmod [10:08] cabrini: chmod +xwr foldnername [10:08] cabrini: gksudo nautilus [10:09] you can [10:09] iLLf8d: why won't you use session? how about rc.local? [10:09] does anyone use elinks? or fbgs? [10:09] - or anything console related [10:10] - actually forget the last question [10:10] it's a stupid question [10:10] :)) [10:10] so does anyone use elinks or fbgs? [10:10] I'm just lookin for some gnome bloat that they've designed to launch this crap [10:10] cabrini: gksudo nautilus [10:10] hello? is my net hanging? [10:10] grizzancs: do you use fbgs? [10:11] no, i don't even know what fbgs is [10:11] guess I'll have to do it from sys->prefs->sessins [10:11] * Tyrath is seriously considering sticking to console mode given the comp doesn't seem to randomly boot off in console mode [10:11] i have problem with Simple Compiz Config Settings Manager can anyone help ? :( [10:12] iLLf8d: what do you want to do? [10:12] Pest: what's up? [10:12] Pest: use the compiz-config-manager [10:12] Pes: System -> Pregs -> Compiz [10:12] just fire off pidgin I'll add it in there [10:12] i was playing with Simple Compiz Config Settings Manager and on Accessibility i click on Zoom (something) and the monitor just flash and log me off...when i try to log in (50 times) the monitor only flash and log me off again [10:12] does compiz serve a purpose? [10:13] Cann0n: it's good for key binds :D [10:13] I use elinks [10:13] hopefully it wont start it till xwindows fires up [10:13] Cann0n: I can't use it for much else tho cause my nvidia drivers failed :/ [10:13] I have to type ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 every time the network is started. How can I fix this or perform it automatically? [10:13] mutt+elinks+irssi+ncmpc = winning combination [10:13] Cann0n: it's like christmas tree lights [10:13] Tyrath: don't the gui's have keybinding features? [10:13] siccness: how can I set up elinks to use javascript? [10:13] now i`m using LiveCD and i can access the system folder of the program but i don`t know how to change the settings [10:13] Cann0n: they do. but I can bind to folders for example using compiz [10:14] Cann0n: that's really the only thing I'm using it for atm but it is conveniant [10:14] iirc, ubuntu packages elinks with javascript [10:14] Hello ubu guys [10:14] you can test this by doing: elinks --version === kittenfluff is now known as haptiK [10:14] Tyrath: seems like a waste of resources [10:14] brb [10:14] it'll state whether or not elinks was compiled with js support [10:14] Cann0n: well if there was something else I'd prob use that. But also compiz makes things look nice if your graphic drivers are working [10:15] when try installing a .deb package by clicking on it, "Package Installer" complains of another software management tool running. But I don't see Update Manager, Aptitude or Synaptic in my process list [10:15] !iirc [10:15] IIRC means "if I remember correctly" [10:15] please help me get my desktop back, I just have a white screen after logging in [10:15] please help me get my desktop back, I just have a white screen after logging in [10:15] hello sken [10:15] Tyrath: might be worth looking at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/elinks/+bug/64031 [10:15] Seaboy: try console mode: Ctrl + Alt + 1 [10:16] are you trying to boot it in the sea? [10:16] Tyrath: what should I do in console mode? [10:17] Tyrath: compiz + emerald or what. last i heard, compiz doesn't make any gui changes as far as decor [10:17] siccness: that's I will. I'm not in the mood for downloading another IRC client tho. I quite like Irssi. Especially given I'm now binded all my keys and everything to the way I like it [10:17] m0niker: what? [10:17] sorry [10:17] irssi is the only decent irc client under Linux anyway [10:17] but definitely setup mpd + ncmpc [10:17] irssi? [10:17] that's a killer setup [10:17] Cann0n: little tweaks, like the mac application switcher, a different maximise feature [10:17] m0niker: no problem [10:18] Tyrath: is ubuntu your first distro? [10:18] how can i change fonts of all slides used in a presentation in openoffice? [10:18] siccness: I did install spidermonkey but yeh, no luck :/ [10:18] can anyone tell me how to change the Accessibility setting of Simple Compiz Config Settings Manager manual from settings file ? :( [10:18] Cann0n: distro of what? of linux? -yes [10:18] Tyrath: elinks needs to be compiled with the javascript support [10:18] siccness: so i've got to use source :/ [10:19] but it appears that the ubuntu crew have decided against it due to how crappy javascript is [10:19] Tyrath: yeah [10:19] lu [10:19] siccness: is there no way to configure settings? === elektrikz is now known as elek[study] [10:19] Well when it's compiled with elinks [10:19] hi all [10:19] ircssi looks nice. [10:19] je suis francais sos [10:19] there's actually an option in the settings to turn javascript off [10:19] Tyrath: some advice is to disable things you dont use, or can find lighter weight alternatives for. it increased performance [10:19] so to be dead honest with you [10:19] im not sure why it hasn't been compiled with it [10:20] can you tell me what's the problem of the c++? my prof sayd that c++ has a problem.. I don't remember the name, it's similar to "coldblow" or "coolblow". He sayd about it that it's a sort of explosion of the code.. do you know it? what's its name? [10:20] Cann0n: yeh. high graphics mode tends to have a fair effect on resources. I just delete things I don't want using apt or synaptic [10:20] personne parle francais [10:20] i am having a few issues with display management. I am running on a Dell E6500 laptop and when plugging in a vga monitor or dvi one using the docking station it doest work well at all! the external display is really glitchy and unusable! [10:20] !fr [10:20] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [10:20] I've opened the ports 6881-6889 in firestarter. but transmission says 6881 is closed. what to do? [10:20] merci [10:20] any help? I don't have my desktop for a whole day [10:20] hardy: je pense que tu doit aller au #ubuntu-fr [10:21] raulzan: try asking in a a c++ channel? [10:21] hardy: allez a #ubuntu-fr [10:21] turn off firestarter/clear iptables would be a good start [10:21] what do you do different? seaboy [10:21] nmh-j2graw: there is nobody [10:21] * Tyrath wishes he could find a remedy for bugs himself [10:21] Seaboy: does that happen for other users in your system ? [10:21] belim: make sure you know what you are doing. if you plug a CRT monitor in, you could break the monitor [10:21] does anyone else have anacron issues? [10:22] Cann0n: its a LCD mate [10:22] raulzan: maybe the question needs more background to make sense [10:22] ah, what drivers are you using? [10:22] who would still be using CRT? :p [10:22] actually does anyone elses comp shut off when their battery power is low and they plug in an AC adapter [10:22] uhm yep [10:22] belim: me until a week ago [10:22] went from 15" crt to 24" LCD [10:23] belim: ill never give up my CRT, variable resolution... [10:23] belim: plenty of people use them. i have 4 or 5 laying around [10:23] Cann0n: I dont know, I havent changed any drivers from standard. Its in integrated Intel X4500 gfx chip. so not brilliant! [10:23] Cann0n: personally I don't really care that much for graphics. but if I'm going to use a GUI I like it to look good. Also I have proxy issues and the like when I use browsers and the like designed for shell [10:23] Tyrath: so that is why u use compiz? [10:23] ok I stand corrected about the CRT's! :D [10:23] Cann0n: stuff that set HTTP_PROXY won't fix :/ [10:24] CRTs are fine [10:24] belim: recompile a kernel specifically for your system. [10:24] heaps of people still use them [10:24] Cann0n: nope just for key binds [10:24] Cann0n: and I can't be bothered finding and installing a lite version [10:24] Neaai: there is no other user. how can create another to check? [10:24] Tyrath: why not use .Xmodmap? [10:24] Cann0n: Ok I will do! :) [10:25] Cann0n: there's probably some way to build it so only some features are installed but I can't be bothered figuring it out atm [10:25] Cann0n: besides I don't want to have to rebind my keys again :P [10:25] m0niker: I have no desktop (just a white screen) after logging in [10:25] Gentoo is a far better Linux distribution than Ubuntu. [10:25] There's a huge amount of info/howto's for RAIDs on the web, mostly ancient stuff and all conflicting. Can someone tell me what to use to create a RAID array in 8.10 (not to boot from, just for file storage)? LVM? mdadm? dmadm? something else? [10:25] siccness: how so? [10:25] Slackware is far better than any other distro i've tried [10:25] Tyrath: Because it's rolling. [10:25] Tyrath: and that is why you are using ubuntu. [10:25] why cann0? [10:25] siccness: I don't get it [10:26] Heh. [10:26] *Cann0n [10:26] Cann0n: I'm using ubuntu cause I accidently installed it with Hardy and ever since I've been using it :P [10:26] Seaboy: Try ctrl-alt-f1 (this bring your text console) Login with your username and password and then do: "sudo adduser newusername". Then press alt-f7 to get back to graphics and kill the session with ctrl-alt-backspace. When prompted, login as the new user you added. [10:26] and let's be honest, there's nothing better than spending 4hrs compiling X [10:26] Tyrath: Hardy is a ghey code name for Ubuntu... [10:27] Cann0n: I've moved up to Ibex since :P [10:27] which is a variant of Debian, geared for noobs [10:27] Ibex? [10:27] that a new distro? [10:27] Intrepid Ibex [10:27] lol [10:27] that's the latest [10:27] please help me. i install qemu and kqemu, modprobe kqemu FATAL: Module kqemu not found. [10:27] inventor: maybe you should look at installing pemu! [10:27] ;-) [10:27] inventor: tried installing it from source? [10:27] Cannon why is slackware the best? [10:27] oo im so evil! [10:27] ghghg [10:28] well, ubuntu has a far better marketing though :) [10:28] Slackware is a piece of crap. === Junee_moetz is now known as co_ajah [10:28] siccness: why? too hard? [10:28] WTF [10:28] slackware is bogan sounding [10:28] no, install apt-get [10:28] too hard? no. too shit. [10:28] inventor: try installing it from source [10:28] why? [10:28] Arch Linux is the key. [10:28] Ubuntu is Afircan for "Can't use Debian" [10:28] hello i was just wondering, if i plugin an external usb HDD should it appear automatically even on the live cd ? [10:28] enought trollin... ubuntu is like obama [10:28] inventor: apt-get can fail quite readily === co_ajah is now known as co_aja [10:28] benovic: what's that meant to mean? [10:28] troll [10:28] Neaai: i'll try it, thanks [10:28] Cann0n: why are you here? [10:28] lol [10:28] yo yo yo [10:29] black AND easy to choose [10:29] inventor: because apt-get only works from the repositories and if those repositories are old or not present it won't be much good [10:29] exactly [10:29] black but white on the inside? [10:29] even for some txans [10:29] pure boredom. [10:29] youre boring us [10:29] Is it bad ettiquette to repeat a question that got no response 5 mins ago? [10:29] ok.senks. i install last from source [10:29] can anyone tell me how to change the Accessibility setting of Simple Compiz Config Settings Manager manual from settings file ? :( [10:29] Enjoying the windows of linux [10:29] maybe you should go somewhere else to be bored [10:29] pickknic: wassup? [10:29] ? [10:29] There's a huge amount of info/howto's for RAIDs on the web, mostly ancient stuff and all conflicting. Can someone tell me what to use to create a RAID array in 8.10 (not to boot from, just for file storage)? LVM? mdadm? dmadm? something else? [10:29] rather than proving how much of a lamer you can be [10:29] Cann0n: try #politics, it's a great place to be bored [10:29] gah can no-one help me with my AC issue? [10:29] since you don't seem to know anything [10:30] - it's the one issue that actually is a pain that needs fixing [10:30] the proxy issues aren't a big deal cause I can just use GUI and firefox [10:30] Hi [10:30] ubuntu the windows for linux? [10:30] hi magnetik [10:30] i dont think so [10:30] pickknic: all i can point you to is the raid factoid, you could also specify the raid level you require [10:30] Is it possible to have apport started when an application crash ? [10:30] nmh-j2graw: maybe, but since Ubuntu attracts noobs, and there are more noobs on the net, this place pretty much is the most crowded channel on freenode.... [10:30] linux is NOT windows [10:30] m0niker: you a windows fan? [10:30] no duh [10:30] NO! [10:30] lol [10:31] ubuntu with fluxbox [10:31] ActionParsnip: raid5 [10:31] * Tyrath wonders why people come in here and pay out the distro [10:31] m0niker: amen brother [10:31] because they don't know enough to do anything else [10:31] i'd rather go to a party with 1.4k folks instead of 200 [10:31] you know, if you've got the gumption to pay out this distro why don't you go out, start a club and build something better? [10:31] exactly!!! [10:31] either way, i've assisted people in here [10:31] see my previous answer for why he can't [10:32] I suggest ignoring the troll [10:32] !offtopic [10:32] Cann0n: can you assist me with AC? :P [10:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [10:32] !raid | pickknic [10:32] pickknic: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [10:32] its because troll waste all there time being idiots [10:32] *trolls [10:32] trolls? [10:32] !trolls [10:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about trolls [10:32] lol [10:32] Sorry obottu [10:32] ActionParsnip: should that first URL end in "SofwareRAIDHowto" ? [10:32] pickknic: thats all i know as all my raids are tru raids using true raid cards rather than this fake raid rubbish motherboard folks paw off to users [10:32] Tyrath: AC? specify please. AC as in current, or what [10:33] pickknic: click it, see what you get === lakitu2 is now known as lakitu [10:33] i have a firewall configuration that cannot permit me to access a specific ip address (modem at 192.168.1.1) someone can help me?? [10:33] Cann0n: I meant plugging in an AC power pack shuts off my computer if I'm in GUI mode and my battery power is low [10:33] Hi I have a Logitech MOMO Racing Wheel and every time I use it, X restarts and comes up with errors. Any ideas? [10:33] sercik: only that ip address ? [10:33] sercik: add a new rule to allow traffic to that ip [10:33] hi Neaai [10:33] yes [10:34] DSX: id check dmesg [10:34] only that Ip [10:34] someone can explain me how to do that [10:34] sercik: pastebin the results of "iptables -L -v" [10:34] if ip tables is too hard get a front end like firestarter [10:34] sercik: well you configured the firewall, add a new rule like you did the rest [10:34] Tyrath: no idea. are you using APM or ACPI? [10:34] firestarter blows [10:34] I prefer learning iptables [10:34] ^ [10:34] agreed [10:34] iptables is the key [10:34] OR [10:34] pemu [10:34] i'm not at that pc now, but i try to explain [10:34] siccness: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:34] Cisco PIX IOS emulation! [10:34] i am having a problem with hotmail where i cant create/write emails with the new look. [10:35] Cann0n: I don't know. When I checked the logs it seems to show ACPI stuffing up, but if I do a string search it comes up with apm [10:35] Jaffarkelshac: try a different browser [10:35] the pc have two nic: eth0 connected to a modem adsl and eth1 connected to local lan [10:35] i'm not able to access to 192.168.1.1 [10:35] troubleshoot [10:35] yesterday i have shutted down the firewall and i was able to access to 192.168.1.1 [10:35] same problem with epiphany ActionParsnip [10:36] Jaffarkelshac: switch to the old look [10:36] For firewalls, some of us here might not agree with me, but I like the http://www.configserver.com/cp/csf.html [10:36] do that to login to your router then [10:36] Cann0n: searching for both in apt-cache brings up a bunch of progs [10:36] Tyrath: the best thing i can suggest is research your hardware and compile your own kernel specifically for your computer, this way you can tweak the kernel. [10:36] as far as AC and such, i don't know. my battery is shot so i stay plugged in [10:37] sercik: pastebin the results of: iptables -L so we can see if there's anything wrong. [10:37] it lasts just long enough to run from plug to plug [10:37] i cant figure out how to change the new look ActionParsnip [10:37] tweak the kernel? I didn't know that was possible? I thought kernals only spoke machine language? [10:37] Neaai: i'm not at that pc [10:37] Cann0n: lol. i thought you weren't on a ubuntu distro? [10:37] im not [10:37] Jaffarkelshac: i dont use hotmail and its not an ubuntu question, check settings maybe [10:38] if you can help me we can speak between 4 hour [10:38] Cann0n: so you probably wouldn't get the same probs [10:38] sercik: oh. Well what do you remember doing before this happened? [10:38] if it's a GUI problem effecting your power, it's probably your settings [10:38] Neaai: it was always so i have not done anything [10:39] and the best way to know what you settings are is to set the, instead of rely on a remade kernel from the distro itself [10:39] http://pastebin.com/m6245fe0b [10:39] for example, i boosted my wifi signal 40% by setting up my kernel properly [10:39] whoops accidently killed the process :P [10:39] the problem is the firewall.. i'm sure about that.. because if i do firewall stop i can reach 192.168.1.1 [10:39] Cann0n: wow that's awesome [10:39] and that is just one thing, [10:39] Cann0n: most new users dont know what half the stuff in menuconfig means or is [10:39] Cann0n: I'm on ACPI 1.1-1ubuntu1 [10:39] so the question is hot to tell the firewall to reach 192.168.1.1 from eth0 card [10:40] ha any of you guys use windows to play games but loved to work using ubuntu [10:40] apt-cache are your packages you downloaded [10:40] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/m6245fe0b [10:40] Cann0n: but i have no idea what APM version I have cause I can't get that info [10:40] sercik: if you know what the problem is, what's stopping you from fixing what's amiss ? [10:40] and in your /tmp or where ever buntu puts them [10:40] good morning [10:40] Upgrading to 8.10 didn't end well for me.. I don't really know what to do. Error msg on a bluescreen after the login-screen has appeared and disappeared a few times: http://pastebin.com/m1944b559 anyone who can help me? [10:40] Neaai: i'm not good to firewall [10:40] tyrathsadly, APM and ACPI are still working on getting hardware to work 100% [10:40] ack! [10:40] apt-cache gives information not [10:41] only about installed package [10:41] it's a wonder why other peope aren't getting these AC problems [10:41] my laptop doesn't restore from stand by sleep [10:41] sercik: which may be why APM doesn't show up [10:41] shiki9_: i game happily in linux [10:41] Any idea how to get jackd/Jack Audio Connection Kit to work on 8.10? [10:41] sercik: i dont use apt protocols. [10:41] sercik: isn't it only installed packages that were installed via apt? [10:41] hi [10:41] hi [10:41] sercik: Is it only a ping/icmp problem or overall connectivity problem ? [10:41] someone can help me with hotplug? [10:41] its hardware specific having errors with default config files [10:42] If I enable XDMCP from the system menu/login, is there any way for me to restrict it to only listen for connections on a specific interface and not all? Would like to only have it listen on the LAN interface and not the WLAN one too [10:42] Cann0n: if you buy linux friendly hardware you dont have to mess around with kernels or worry if ACPI will like your hardware as it will just work [10:42] anyhow, I've got an exam to study for. I've left a bug report for all my problems on launchpad. hopefully someone comes up with a fix [10:42] Neaai: with firewall service activated i'm not able to access to that ip... neither ping that ip [10:42] thanks for trying to help peeps [10:42] Cann0n: shop smart, save yourself hassle. dont just buy whats cheap or latest [10:42] ActionParsnip: ... how long have you been using linux? [10:42] its not shopping.. [10:42] Cann0n: I started on redhat 6 [10:42] ffgfffff [10:42] ActionParsnip:i play those single player action adventure games like dead space and bioshock which i had alot of problems trying to get them to run in wine with my ati card [10:43] Cann0n: then madriva 7 [10:43] aneh [10:43] sercik: But are you able to 'go past' that ip? Can you use the modem for browsing? [10:43] if you default kernel doesn't have an option you need to get something to work, say TI pcmxxx sd/mmc card readers [10:43] shiki9_: is there a loki installer for them at all? [10:43] hi can you tell me how to increase data rate while connectiong from one ubuntu machine to another using ssh? [10:43] ActionParsnip: i asked how long, not what version. [10:43] cannon busyet [10:43] my login keyring doesn't get automatically unlocked on startup... any ideas? [10:43] command to reset my preferences? have a black desktop & no icons on desktop or rightclick [10:44] Cann0n: mid 2006 [10:44] ActionParsnip: it is all ways recommended to compile your own kernel (that is if you know liniux) [10:44] ok i simply ask: i'm following a howto ( http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Hotplugging_USB_audio_devices_(Howto) ) to hotplug my usb headset, at the end they use a folder called /etc/hotplug/ but i don't have it, should i simply create it or did i miss something (install a package,...) [10:44] ? [10:44] ActionParsnip: i don't know [10:44] ActionParsnip: RedHat 6 came out way before 2006 [10:45] I need help with a login-screen crash with this blue-screen text http://pastebin.com/m1944b559 I updated to 8.10 and was hoping it would work.... [10:45] i've been using slackware since 2001 [10:45] Cann0n: i work in computers dude. theres nothing i hate more than having to mess with my system. I have a gentoo box, a mandriva fileserver and a kubuntu desktop [10:45] you work in computers? [10:45] how many times have you compiled your own kernel, ever? [10:45] Cann0n: thats when i was using mandriva when i got more into it, redhat was more a toy than a real used OS [10:46] how do you find the confined space, ActionParsnip? [10:46] Cann0n: i only use ubuntu as its simple and easy which is all i want [10:46] siccness: confined space? [10:46] rahmen: most probably your X is incorrectly configured, but I can't be sure. [10:46] well yeah, you said you worked in computers [10:46] must be tight squeeze in those pipelines [10:46] siccness: nice :D [10:46] ? [10:47] ah, well if you don't care about performance or efficiency or prestige or pride, you made a fine choice. [10:47] ouch [10:47] Cann0n: exactly. i dont spend hours in front of my pc when i can be out having a laugh with my mates :D [10:47] some one run wow on ubuntu here? [10:47] Cann0n has no life [10:47] what's the ubuntu way of saying "let me grab the source code for whatever emacs source code was used to build my current emacs package" ? [10:47] ActionParsnip: iow - you want to get things done, rather than play with the computer? [10:47] hml→ apt-get source emacs [10:48] hml: might want to try english first. [10:48] it took me maybe 2 hours total to configure and compile a kernel, which fixed how many of my problems? [10:48] some one run wow on ubuntu here? then pls pm me [10:48] Cann0n: how many times have you recompiled your kernel? [10:48] Spatman: world of warcraft? [10:48] Neaai: Ok, how do I fix that? Can I boot without graphics? So I just get a terminal? [10:48] and how much trial and error to figure out what was optimal? [10:48] Spatman: for help getting World of Warcraft working, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [10:48] m0niker: funny, you're just jealous [10:48] Spatman→ check the wine appdb and the wowwiki Wine/linux instructions, they are all you need [10:49] Cann0n: jealous of what? [10:49] nmh-j2graw: yeah pretty much. i dont wanna get an extra 2% speed of of my boot by spending a million hours glued to my system [10:49] !wow | Spatman [10:49] Spatman: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [10:49] i remove 800 mb of files and i verify this with df, however a minute later my free space falls down to 500mb. what is this? [10:49] Cann0n your just 13 [10:49] nmh-j2graw: i'll compile it every couple of releases. i just keep a backup of my .config for ever computer i have configured [10:49] !pm | Spatman [10:49] Spatman: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [10:49] Kartagis: a filling filesystem by the sounds of things. [10:49] rahmen: press esc at grub loading and select recovery mode, you can drop to root console that way [10:49] siccness, by what? [10:49] m0niker: just because i know more than you doesn't mean you have be a bully. [10:50] Kartagis: that's like asking a blind person what colour the wall is [10:50] Spatman: No, I quit a while back, because I decided it sucks. [10:50] Cann0n: you are asking for what you are getting. go troll elsewhere [10:50] DSX: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=589640 [10:50] siccness, I don't write anything or so [10:50] nmh-j2graw: i didn't call people names and such no did i? [10:50] Spatman: the page I linked, though, worked great to set it up when I did play. [10:50] Kartagis: is it still filling? if so, lsof might be your best bet [10:51] Cann0n: you're actions speak for themselves. [10:51] fuser [10:51] nmh-j2graw: i don't understand your comments. they seem to contradict one another. :P [10:51] Cann0n: funny that, so do yours. [10:52] Cann0n: you must be doing a good job of trolling [10:52] can we keep this ontopic [10:52] instead of mudslinging [10:52] ActionParsnip: Sorry Jesus. [10:52] Quick bickering, everyone :P [10:52] yeah, im talking about linux the entire time i was here, not call people names. [10:52] Quit * [10:52] anyways [10:52] No, you've talked about how crap Ubuntu is compared to your beloved Slackware [10:52] compiling a kernel is highly recommended if you have hardware problems, (after the correct research of course) [10:53] it is offtopic to moan and whine about ubuntu in #ubuntu [10:53] No, if you have hardware problems, the best thing to do is fix the hardware fault [10:53] not compile a damn kernel [10:53] ESPECIALLY when you don't use it [10:53] siccness: how about we all get banned because no one here seems to be able to drop the nagging.... along with nmh-j2graw [10:53] it would be worth it to keep you out. [10:53] siccness: dont curse. [10:53] curse? [10:54] Anyone have any problems they need fixing? Maybe your shiny problem will distract these people from their arguing :D [10:54] rww: word [10:54] anyone with a problem [10:54] the big chief is here to fix all the problems [10:54] I am still trying to get dialog windows to pop up above preexisting windows (rather than below) [10:54] for those who have good ideas... [10:54] nmh-j2graw: too hard, next :) [10:54] Can I get the ubuntu update log or something? Is it saved on my comp? (I updated from 8.04 to 8.10) [10:54] haha [10:55] nmh-j2graw: what DE? [10:55] or better yet, what WM? [10:55] what kernel does the ubuntu-current use? [10:55] mostly ubuntu 8.04 default (gnome) [10:55] rww: i have kernel 2.6.39 beta alph pre release 2 and im trying to install amarok xp but i keep getting core dumps when i mailmerge the bios over usb to my bluetooth mouse. Ive tried the -y214 patch but it seems slow then abort giving me the old 404 error which ive read means the microsoft need some money but im unemploed and need a workaround, can you help please [10:55] I want to say metacity, but I am not sure [10:55] ActionParsnip: Nothing there, oh well. [10:56] yeah what WM is that, nmh-j2graw? [10:56] sorry, i dont know much about ubuntu and it's defaults [10:56] siccness: me too... [10:56] rahmen: check in /var/log, especially /var/log/dpkg.log and /var/log/installer. I believe there's a log somewhere around there, but I forget where exactly it is [10:56] ActionParsnip: maybe because you are using a pre-release, when tend to be unstable? [10:56] hahaha [10:56] Cann0n: 2.6.27-7-generic [10:56] made me laugh [10:57] nmh-j2graw: done a patch update on metacity? [10:57] ActionParsnip: random words hurt my brain :P [10:57] can i get a .config for the default kernel? [10:57] i wanna check it out [10:57] rww: we used to have people like that come inow hee i used to work and talk like that. classic [10:57] how to check if I have amd64 version currently or not? [10:57] niceee, upgraded and no wlan there anymore.. and no network manager running.. fine [10:57] siccness: not that I know of [10:57] rww: thnx.. you think there are any clues in that log of what's wrong with my upgrade? [10:57] Cann0n: www.kernel.org should have one [10:58] nmh-j2graw: someone has suggested this "under gen options, change the level of focus stealing to low" [10:58] Hello, i would like to know what is the easy way to duplicate Ubuntu to new computer (including the grub.. ) ? [10:58] but ill be damned if i know what "gen" options is [10:58] Kate28f: ou could dd the disk to another disk [10:59] rahmen: not sure, I'm not too experienced with upgrades (usually just reinstall) [10:59] siccness: hey, what a neat idea - I know I saw that option somewhere... [10:59] ActionParsnip: does dd have gui ? [10:59] Kate28f: it uses terminal [10:59] nmh-j2graw: that could well be the key [10:59] Kate28f: dd if=/dev/ of=/dev/ [11:00] !clone [11:00] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [11:00] ActionParsnip: nice :) , how i can find out my source drive path and my destination path ? (/dev/???) [11:00] my login keyring doesn't get automatically unlocked on startup... any ideas? i tried to reinstall stuff like libpam-gnome-keyring but nothing seems to help [11:00] i wait for the day something just work out how it should [11:00] Kate28f: sudo fdisk -l [11:00] Can someone help me with grep. I need to find lines in file that just contain one '?' character. grep "?\{1\}" file doesn't work. [11:01] Kate28f: as always with big disk actions, rerun your backup to make sure you wont lose user data [11:01] Hello [11:01] hi BuFF [11:01] milos_: google.com [11:01] Hi ActionParship [11:02] hello [11:02] ActionParsnip: when i typed : sudo fdisk -l : i get 3 results : /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2/ /dev/sda3 (i have only one hdd inside ) ? [11:02] milos_: you could ask in gentoo [11:02] hi I run a intel quad core, it is ok to install the adm64 server version of interprid right ? or should I stick to 32bit ? [11:02] hi there [11:02] milos_: does changing the ? to \? work, perchance? [11:02] how can i see what is filling up my fs so quickly? [11:02] hello [11:02] Cann0n, yes, I tried that first. ActionParsnip :) [11:02] Kate28f: yes, the numbers are partitions, you can dd the partitions to another drive [11:02] rww, no [11:02] how to get the networkmanager applet back? (the one to set up wlan) [11:03] rhalff: assuming it's a core 2, amd64 will work fine. I'm running it right now on a Q6600.

[11:03] rww, which shouldn't really matter probably :) [11:03] ActionParsnip: sda1 = linux , sda2 = extended , sda 3 = linux swap / Solaris , so when i will use dd if=/dev/ of=/dev/sda1 its will copy all the partitions to the new disk ? [11:04] esperegu: uname -a and look for "x86_64" [11:04] esperegu: i686 == 32bit , x86_64 = 64bit [11:04] whats the name of the music file of the ubuntu entrance song? [11:04] Kate28f: if you only have those partitions, you dont have another disk in the system to clone to [11:04] bimberi: thank you very much [11:04] Dedi: yw :) [11:04] ActionParsnip / rww: than I have 32bit. How can I upgrade to 64? [11:05] rhalff: rhalff: wait, nvm, Intel Core didn't have quads, so yeah, you have an Intel Core 2 Quad. So yeah, amd64 would work fine. [11:05] esperegu: for cpuinfo i'd use: cat /proc/cpuinfo [11:05] esperegu: reinstall, if you mean the os [11:05] Do anyone know whats wrong with usb2.0 and ubuntu. I only get really low speed on my USB devices [11:05] j0nte: are you fully updated? [11:05] esperegu: you cant upgrade from 32bit linux to 64 bit linux [11:05] DIFH-iceroot: it's not possible to upgrade? [11:05] aha [11:05] ok [11:05] 2 bad [11:05] grr nm-applet got worse? have to enter key again.. and it doesnt take any hex keys anymore... [11:05] ActionParsnip: I got hardy version, besides from that yes [11:06] milos_: should be right [11:06] Dedi: i've not had to re-enter my key since i installed..... [11:06] does anyone in here use the Intel X4500HD? I am after a better driver for it to get it fully functional. I think there is one but cant find it. I am running a std install of kubuntu 8.10 on a Dell E6500 laptop. As far as I can tell I am currently using intel_agp. I dont have the best gfx for the KDE4 compiz effects, and if I plug in an external LCD display to either vga or dvi using the docking station it is very flakey! anyone got any ideas?

[11:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about usb2.0 [11:06] rww, oh, ok big deal then :d [11:06] ActionParsnip: yeah. Got network cards in usb ports [11:06] great suggestion, thanks!

[11:07] IndyGunFreak: seems i have to, for every network [11:07] j0nte: maybe you need some funky usb options for your usb [11:07] Dedi: weird... i entered mine when i installed, not since [11:07] j0nte: lspci | grep -i usb [11:07] j0nte: what us controllers do you have? [11:07] sec [11:08] ActionParsnip: do you know about other application like dd that's have graphic interface ? [11:08] jussi01 : still have the problem [11:08] nmh-j2graw: so...what do you think of me now? :) [11:08] siccness: before: helpful, now: helpful-er ? [11:08] Kate28f: no idea, sorry. even if you found one you still need the extra drive to copy to [11:08] high five to that shit, nmh-j2graw :) [11:08] champion you are mate.

[11:09] if you have that probem PM me [11:09] burkesbythebay: simple [11:09] google "Error 17 GRUB" on google [11:09] <_2> to google is now a verb ? === Max is now known as Guest48719 [11:10] dunno [11:10] I have and most of the threads I have have found don't fix the problem [11:10] im half drunk [11:10] _2: is in the UK [11:10] so my sentences arent gonna make a lot of sense [11:10] ast: I can run fine, at a good res too 1920x1200, on the internal screen. but plugging in an external monitor is very glitchy, screen flickers every 5-10 secs. and the kde compiz effects arent brilliant either. [11:11] burkesbythebay: what have you tried? (short list) [11:11] well im out [11:11] burkesbythebay: im confuse, just seems like a basic mbr issue [11:11] i have a problem connecting anything to my usb ports and i think theyre not activated or something, can anybody help me with this? [11:11] can anyone see my xorg.0.log file to find my problem, I have a white screen after logging in : http://paste.ubuntu.com/67858/ [11:11] Hi I am instaling ubuntu holah 8.10 I am creating the partitions. I want to install linux in c: and my user (anita) in d: how I do that txh [11:11] balle_: what device you trying to connect? [11:11] how can i activate the " wave, burn, airplane, ..." compiz animations?? the animation plugins is activated, but it's not working!!! [11:12] Enissay: hvae you used compiz-config-manager ? [11:12] siccness: an external harddrive and a usb mouse [11:12] balle_: ok, disconnect the external hdd for the moment [11:12] then do this [11:12] connect it, type: sudo dmesg | tail [11:12] whats the output, paste that to pastebin [11:12] how can i install .oxt extension files for ooo? [11:12] anyone? [11:13] nmh-j2graw: of course [11:13] <_2> connect it sleep 5;dmesg | tail [11:13] Seaboy: white? not white and black pixel pattern? [11:13] heh [11:13] balle_: sudo modprobe -a ehci_hcd [11:13] Enissay: wave is wavy windows, yes? [11:13] ActionParsnip: dont jump ahead :) [11:14] siccness: best way ;) [11:14] heh [11:14] not necessarily [11:14] this is good for the young kid [11:14] good to learn basic troubleshooting [11:14] siccness: http://pastebin.com/m460fa82e there [11:14] siccness: deal [11:14] its like that stupid old saying [11:14] feed a man for a day, or teach him how to fish [11:14] or whatever it is [11:15] give a man a fish and he eats for a day, give him a rod and he'll sell it, or trade it for a fish [11:15] nmh-j2graw: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Plugins/Animation [11:15] ActionParsnip: hahahaha [11:15] <_2> ActionParsnip lol [11:15] nmh-j2graw: just white, and I cans see mouse pointer, and if there is a messege like software upadate notification, I can see it too, but nothing else [11:15] siccness: i think the hard disk is faulty as it clicks every now and then. bit alot of the threads point to grub or mbr being the problem [11:15] feed a man a fish and he will eat for a day [11:15] teach him how to fish and he will have food for the rest of his life [11:15] (of course a poisoned fish will do that too, but in a different way) [11:16] !ot [11:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:16] burkesbythebay: sure but that doesnt explain why usb doesnt work [11:16] <_2> nmh-j2graw and poisoned fish are easier. [11:17] _2: yes, but here we are tyring to be helpful. [11:17] Enissay: do you have other effects working? [11:17] Bear Grylls will eat a parasyted fish with his teeth [11:17] nmh-j2graw: yes [11:17] siccness what's usb got to do with it im running a sata hard disk [11:17] Seaboy: if you type a bunch of text, do you see any of it? [11:17] i thought this was regarding usb? lol [11:18] siccness: i was the usb dude [11:18] lol [11:18] holy bajebus [11:18] im so confused! [11:18] !upgrade > j0nte [11:18] j0nte, please see my private message [11:19] i have found a few more threads am going to test the suggested fixes [11:19] bye [11:19] thankfully he left, i coulda had him removing all kinds of devices! [11:19] haha [11:19] balle_: ok, so what's the deal with your issue again? this was USB devices not working? [11:20] Seaboy: no [11:20] wifi compaq c700 ran sudo ndisgtk, added driver net5211.inf, system hangs, tried this twice [11:20] Seaboy: even alt+F2 doesn,t work [11:20] Enissay: the airplane/fire effects were extra plugins you added, yes? assuming yes, how did you add them? (via aptitude? via source?) [11:20] * _2 thinks siccness has googled to many 'shnaps' [11:20] stevej678: try using the properndiswrapper app [11:20] nmh-j2graw: no, even alt+F2 doesn't work [11:20] siccness: yea my harddrive can't be mounted and the mouse i'm trying to plug in can work but only in small flashes and it is very slow, the pastebin for the usb devices http://pastebin.com/m460fa82e [11:21] stevej678: sudo ndiswrapper -i [11:21] balle_: ahh yes, you're getting a stack of USB errors in dmesg [11:21] Seaboy: can you get out of X with ctrl-alt-backspace? [11:21] stevej678: then check with sudo ndiswrapper -l [11:21] siccness: yea, and i don't really know why sadly [11:21] balle_: this is certainly unusual [11:21] ive never seen this before [11:21] nmh-j2graw: no, i added nothing... how can i do that? [11:21] this looks like fun === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [11:21] siccness: i am on a labtop if it means anything [11:22] balle_: what laptop? what OS and what version of the OS? [11:22] Enissay: ooc, did you see them online and are now trying to get them? [11:22] nmh-j2graw: yes [11:22] Seaboy: oic, sorry - I thought you were in a different situation [11:22] siccness: a danish brand a Zepto znote 6515WD and running ubuntu hardy heron and xp sp3 i think on another bootable partition [11:23] balle_: does this issue occur under Windows as well? [11:23] nmh-j2graw: right [11:23] Enissay: are you using compiz-fusion and not compiz (what is installed by default) ? [11:23] nmh-j2graw: thanks anyway [11:23] siccness: not at all [11:23] sweet, that rules out hardware [11:23] Seaboy: sorry, I am about out of ideas on what you can do [11:24] nmh-j2graw: i think i'm using compiz 0.7.6 [11:24] siccness: yea i have tested it with a lot of things and in all usb ports, everything works on xp and nothing on ubuntu sadly [11:24] Enissay: you may have to switch to compiz-fusion to be able to get those effects (I have only used compiz) [11:24] hi all, does the lastest kernel 2.6.27-7 have issues with prism 2.5 cards ? i have a Senao 2511 NL pcmcia card and it works flawlessly with older kernels, like 2.6.24-19. Things went wrong after update from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 , then i stopped the NetworkManager service and tried to connect the usual way with iwconfig, wavemon says it connects to the AP but it doesn't receive an IP with dhclient, any ideas? [11:25] balle_: do this [11:25] sudo rmmod ehci-hcd [11:25] <_2> balle_ i have seen that usb error before just don't recall what or why [11:25] <_2> it "may" be a bug. [11:25] Enissay: what are you running? 8.10? 8.04? 7.x? [11:26] siccness: done and it appears as if nothing happened [11:26] _2: im thinkin the same thing [11:26] balle_ reconnect the devices [11:26] sudo dmesg | tail [11:26] tell me if you get the same errors [11:26] nmh-j2graw: i've just to install it....(hardy) [11:26] Hello, i would like to know which file system is better for Ubuntu installation : ext2 or ext3 ? [11:26] <_2> !bug > me [11:26] _2, please see my private message [11:27] Kate28f, ext3 [11:27] thanks [11:27] np [11:27] Kate28f: ext3 is ext2 with a journal [11:27] Kate28f: use ext2 for memory sticks to prolong life but internal drives should be formatted ext3 [11:27] use ext3 [11:27] siccness: no, it goes up to 14 now, previously it was only up to 10.. [11:28] yay!!! [11:28] Where can I find information about Linux security? Particularly, is Linux not any more secure than windows? People argue that it's the small user base of Linux, and that Linux is mostly based on scripts and no one is there to check every line of code, whereas Windows code is checked when compiling.. any word on this? [11:28] we're getting no where! [11:28] Kate28f - your using a drive? use ext3 [11:28] Enissay: can you pastebin the output of 'aptitude search compiz', please [11:28] lianimator - pm me [11:29] siccness: should i pastebin it for you to see mayhaps? [11:29] How do I setup my sound? It's not working at all after the update to 8.10 (from 8.04) but when I change kernel version in grub on boot it works.. is there any other settings than System->Preferences->Sound? [11:29] is flash working like it should for 64-bit users? i get random "freezes" :S [11:29] hello [11:29] i don't know what changes were made but just editing xorg.conf doesn't add another keboard layout. please help [11:29] lianimator: its as secure as you make it, just like windows. just keep off root as much as possible and watch how you go. If you are user then even if you get compromised they cant achieve much [11:29] balle_: sure then try: sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd [11:29] nmh-j2graw: it's working now http://my.opera.com/ubuntunerd/blog/how-to-use-compiz-config-settings-manager-part-1-under-construction [11:29] ept. fix problem is kqemu, setup kqemu-source and modprobe kqemu [11:29] Skry^: run flashplayer-nonfree through nspluginwrapper, works a treat [11:30] nmh-j2graw: thanks anyway [11:30] Ben_Cs: you need to restart x [11:30] u:) [11:30] lianimator - Pm me and ill give you a few pointers for research [11:30] siccness: sudo modprobe thing did nothing at all... [11:30] Enissay: congradulations! [11:30] ActionParsnip: i logged aout and in and nothing happened [11:30] ActionParsnip, should it be like that by default? [11:30] balle_: then do an lsmod | grep -i ehci_hcd [11:30] can somebody help me fix my wireless in ubuntu 8.10 ? [11:30] Enissay: use compiz? [11:30] Skry^: very little is default [11:30] if you get no output then it's a good thing :) [11:31] Ben_Cs: press ctrl+alt+backspace AFTER saving any docs [11:31] i wanna know why i couldn't use sudo apt-get upgarde after i install ubuntu 8.10 on my flash drive? [11:31] spi343: "nm-applet --disable-sm" [11:31] siccness: okay, yay for good things no output et all [11:31] heh [11:31] balle_: try reconnecting the devices [11:31] ActionParsnip: just read about needing to use: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup instead? [11:31] How do I setup my sound? It doesn't work at all after the update to 8.10 [11:32] and then do the: sudo dmesg | tail again [11:32] siccness: done [11:32] Skry^: dont get freezes (but flash on 64bit just runs bad) [11:32] ActionParsnip, well, it works for a while, and if it does, sometimes reloading page makes it work, most of the time i need to restart firefox, and i think i'm using it through nspluginwrapper. [11:32] about booting from a usb stick- I installed ubuntu 8.10 on a usb stick using the program included in the love-cd, but the pc dfoesn't boot from it. i tried all boot orders in the bios. there is usb-zip, usb-hdd and usb-fdd as an option in the bios. [11:32] Dedi, what is suppose to do --disable-sm ? [11:32] *live-cd sorry [11:32] hal is "in charge" of input device?! [11:32] Skry^: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplayer-nonfree; nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [11:32] nmh-j2graw: but what the difference between compiz and compiz fucion? [11:32] balle_: work or not? [11:32] siccness: http://pastebin.com/m2e06666d [11:32] spi343: dont know, its the default, but i just did it without the parm [11:33] siccness: and no sadly, no work [11:33] fsckkkkk [11:33] ActionParsnip: let's say Firefox had an open loophole for hackers, would that make the Linux OS insecure? [11:33] Enissay: 'Compiz is one of the first compositing window managers for the X Window System that uses 3D graphics hardware to create fast compositing desktop effects for window management' (wikipedia) [11:33] lianimator: sure, but the firefox guys would be aware due to the amount of devs working on it [11:34] balle_: this HAS to be a bug [11:34] why can't I see anyone on the network ... not even myself ...? [11:34] i wanna know why i couldn't use sudo apt-get upgarde after i install ubuntu 8.10 on my flash drive? [11:34] as far as buffer overflow? [11:34] I am using Ubuntu Hardy here [11:34] lianimator: no OS is totally secure and you will never find one that is, unless it has no network interfaces [11:34] lianimator, ActionParsnip: not that much, it can only access files which the current user has rights to... [11:34] Enissay: beryl is a fork of compiz, and compiz-fusion is a merging of compiz and beryl (supposed to be the best of both) [11:34] Dedi, well the thing is the applet does start by itself, no problem there but the it says the wireless device is unmanaged [11:34] to get high priv would be dependent on the os [11:34] n.de [11:34] balle_: do this, cat /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:34] and paste the output to pastebin [11:35] siccness: might be yea, there is also a lot of other crazy shit going on, my shutdown button has dissapeared so i have to use sudo shutdown - h now and stuff like that [11:35] Enissay: does that make sense? [11:35] balle_: heh [11:35] spi343: so you dont get a list of wireless networks with a left click on it (left!) [11:35] better than what I do, "press pwr button" [11:35] nmh-j2graw: and if i want now to install compiz-fusion, do i have to uninstall compiz first? [11:35] lianimator: if you run firefox as root and are compromised they will have a full run of your system as they will inherit root permissions [11:35] Dedi, nope, it says wireless unmanaged [11:36] siccness: hehe yea but not want optimal either i guess, hey do you want a pastebin of that or something? [11:36] Dedi, i tried editing the connectiongs , and adding my wireless AP but nothing [11:36] balle_: yeah if you could mate [11:36] Enissay: I am not sure, I would expect aptitude should deal with it for you. [11:36] spi343: try: sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed (may do sudo ifconfig wlan0 down before and up after) [11:36] nmh-j2graw: Enissay: does that make sense?==>What? [11:36] lianimator: thats why there is no root pass by default in ubuntu, saves people from themselves coming from windows mentality and logging as the the most senior account to run daily tasks and browse the web [11:36] i wanna know why i couldn't use sudo apt-get upgarde after i install ubuntu 8.10 on my flash drive? [11:36] Enissay: did the description of th edifferences make sense [11:36] siccnes: http://pastebin.com/m3ecca177 there ya go [11:37] lianimator: those sorts of people deserve all they get [11:37] balle: if my next solution doesnt work, then only thing I can think of is: backup your data, do a system update. If that doesnt work, then install the latest version of Ubuntu and see what happens [11:37] i have 2 identical fstab entries and i can write on one ntfs partition but can't on the other [11:37] Dedi: speaking of rights, I have the error that says $HOME/.dmrc file is ignored.. etc. the home folder should have 664 rights or something. someone told me to run sudo chmod -R 664 /home then I couldn't access my home. I did sudo chmod -R 777 /home then I changed the permissions through nautilus. Is it okay now? [11:37] ghostlines check the status of that disk when you mount int manually [11:37] Dedi, did that, also tried disableing the service with sudo invoke-rc.d NetworkManager stop, then tried to connect to my wireless AP with iwconfig and it does connect but then it hangs when receiving the ip with dhclient [11:37] balle: ok, my next solution doesnt apply here. So i can only think of backup data+system update, if that doesnt fix the issue, then I'd just install the latest ubuntu [11:38] is there a way to run a console command (ffmpeg video encoding in my case) so it only uses a set amount (in percentage) of CPU resources ? [11:38] ActionParsnip: I use root only if I have to. the default is administrator in Windows.. Now I get it. [11:38] siccness: i am pretty sure this is the latest version but i'll try to run the update thing again and see what happens, thx for the help man [11:38] balle_: what version you got? [11:38] lianimator: then somebody told you a bad thing :) you should not perform that command on your whole home dir, since it needs some special rights set for specific folders. and more, you should never have a number for the "others" since every one can read your homefolder now [11:38] xeiter: you can limit resources [11:39] siccness, how can I do that ? [11:39] Dedi, the weird part it it does this only with the latest 2.6.27-7 kernel that comes with ubuntu 8.10 , with older kernels it works flawlessly [11:39] xeiter: would you be satisfied with giving it the resources after other processes? (man nice renice) [11:39] <_2> balle_ is this your issue? http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8444 [11:39] How do I setup the sound? Something isn't right.. with the older kernel it works.. [11:39] Dedi, and google has no idea about what might be going on.. [11:39] siccness: 8.10 i think is there somewhere i can check that? [11:39] what's the command to enable core dump? [11:39] balle_: lsb_release -a [11:40] nmh-j2graw, yeah willprobably do thank you i will check it out [11:40] spi343: ouff, i would take an older kernel until it runs with the new one. there has been some changes, may a bad one for you. as alternative i would try a howto to connect wlan from console guide, but may not help [11:40] xeiter: good luck [11:40] is it possible to see if my sound card supports digital audio like 5.1 or 7.1? [11:41] siccness: it's 8.04 [11:41] xeiter: ulimit [11:41] spi343: im not a wlan specialist, just had problems before too and thought may you have the same problem (but seems not :)) [11:41] gnomefreak: thx [11:41] balle_: honestly, it's got bug written all over it, heh :) [11:41] lianimator: thats why you get viri, if yu make a restricted user you wil get less grief [11:41] _2: no it's not a usb stick but an external harddrive, will check it out though thx [11:41] but i cant exactly prove it [11:41] lianimator: some apps need weird write accesses to system sensitive places in windows which is completely stupid [11:41] i would do a patch update on your system [11:41] first and foremost [11:42] siccness, thank you will check out [11:42] and hopefully theres a bugfix in there [11:42] Dedi, yeah, i tried , stopped X, went to console, and did the connection stuff with ifconfig and iwconfig, then it hangs with dhclient , no ip is received [11:42] Dedi, i mean, went to console then stopped X :) [11:42] siccness: but can't i just do an update to 8.10 or what? [11:42] spi343: wired network works with dhclient? [11:42] balle_: you can [11:42] Dedi, i can't check that [11:42] but here's my Plan of attack [11:43] Hello, I have a few problems with my WiFi, I use nidsgtk [11:43] Dedi, i only have wireless [11:43] i wanna know why i couldn't use sudo apt-get upgarde after i install ubuntu 8.10 on my flash drive? [11:43] <_2> balle_ i didn't ask if it was your device, i asked if it was the bug you were having. problems with. [11:43] back up data (just for the sake of it), patch update on current OS, if that fails [11:43] funflo512_: tried it using just ndiswrapper? [11:43] look at upgrading to 8.10 [11:43] _2 looks different [11:43] spi343: thats bad :) i would suggest you to use an older kernel, could be a driver problem [11:43] or google the whole day :D [11:43] <_2> xukun did anyone answer you ? lshw -C multimedia should show it. [11:44] but that will be more effective in some weeks when there are more posts out with intrepid problems [11:44] google isnt something you do an entire day [11:44] i wanna know why i couldn't use sudo apt-get upgarde after i install ubuntu 8.10 on my flash drive? [11:44] Dedi, yeah, to verify that i dowloaded the hostap-driver and it doesn't compile with 2.6.27-7, says something about wireless extensions not enabled in the kernel [11:44] if a solution doesnt return on the first page of your first google search [11:44] then there's no solution [11:44] siccness: that bad google got, it sometimes is [11:44] siccness: thx i'll try that [11:44] i wanna know why i couldn't use sudo apt-get upgarde after i install ubuntu 8.10 on my flash drive? [11:44] spi343: strange, my wireless works with that kernel [11:44] hi, can anyone tell me of an alternativ irc client, besides irssi? :) [11:44] justnick: because upgarde isn't a valid option [11:45] upgrade is though :P [11:45] msandbu: if its not irssi, its not worth using [11:45] _2 yea it sounds a bit like that, but maybe it's solved with 8.10, i'll try to check it and thx btw [11:45] but: xchat, bitchx [11:45] msandbu: pidgin, xchat, bitchx [11:45] siccness: not availid? [11:45] balle_: keep us updated on this [11:45] <_2> siccness then there is never any solution to any of my issues. because google never returns a solution on the first page of my first search ;/ [11:45] siccness: valid point, but it is for testing purposes. [11:45] i'd hate to lose a battle against a freaking usb device [11:45] siccness: will do [11:46] _2: you cant google too well then :) [11:46] siccness: there is no solution [11:46] <_2> balle_ k. [11:46] siccness: then tell us how :> [11:46] Dedi, can that be from a bad update? i did an distro-upgrade from 8.04, and had a few errors along the way, but were about insignificant stuff [11:46] <_2> siccness never said i could. [11:46] Dedi: the key to google is to use it like it's a moron [11:47] argh [11:47] * _2 waits for the rest of this lesson, it might do for a chuckle [11:47] spi343: cant tell, my upgrade went fine except nm applet dissapeared and keys lost, and gdm not starting itself [11:48] Dedi, i guess they rushed out ubuntu 8.10 .. [11:48] _2, thanks m8 [11:48] siccness: may you just have luck, i have to change keywords over and over until it fits [11:48] <_2> xukun welcome. [11:49] spi343: thats the bad thing with hardtimed releases (same was with 8.04, thats why there is a 8.04.1) [11:49] What can be the cause if X11 doesn't regain keyboard control (it's left in the console) after suspend/hibernate? This ONLY seems to happen if the computer is booted on battery (laptop). [11:49] <_2> xukun ffr lshw is a very nice hardware info tool/app [11:50] You know what's even better? cat /proc/* [11:50] firetech: i dont know but you could check usb power safe things [11:50] <_2> siccness no. that's like google search .* [11:50] siccness:is the usb ubuntu version not accept any installations of any thing [11:50] Dedi: it only affects the internal laptop keyboard, not external USB ones... [11:51] _2, but that does not show if this card does support digital sound or it not clear to me [11:51] justnick: that's interesting [11:51] firetech: oh strange, i'll check that right now on my laptop [11:51] hi i'm trying to compile the sample WebkitGtk application called GtkLauncher.

There was a solution that made it so it would be mounted in my home folder instead of on the desktop, but it involved editing the fstab and i cant remember cause it was so long ago, how it was done. [12:19] siccness: then what key is it? to windows gaming? [12:19] I've installed elinks to the best of my ability but it doesn't seem to matter what I do it still won't install with javascript [12:19] I don't game [12:19] Tyrath! NO!

[12:20] jim_p: yeah, i purchased a Quadcore for irssi [12:20] siccness: if I type elinks it still loads up this stuffed up version [12:20] i blow money on useless crap i dont need [12:20] - everyone does [12:20] firetech: i have plenty old kernels in synaptic [12:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/67879/ [12:21] Tyrath: interesting [12:21] Andreica: creative webcan hey? sorry i cant help.

[12:21] it worked, but after i updated, i don't work more [12:21] apt-get remove elinks [12:21] then build it again [12:21] siccness: tried that [12:21] LightTitan: uname -r [12:21] thanks [12:21] siccness: I installed the deb package but it didn''t seem to work [12:21] siccness: like it said it installed [12:21] siccness: but i'm not convinced [12:22] LightTitan: this will tell you the kernel version, which can identify the ubuntu version [12:22] the deb package with javascript support? === haptiK is now known as fuzzykittens [12:22] elinks2 maybe? [12:22] siccness: how do you do that? [12:22] jim_p, ah, was about to ask that. Thanks [12:22] siccness: unless it had built in support [12:22] Tyrath: there's bound to be someone who's packaged a deb up with javascript support on elinks [12:22] !version | LightTitan, jim_p [12:22] LightTitan, jim_p: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [12:22] siccness: i think it's supposed to locate the lib automatically. only mine isn't [12:22] !elinks [12:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about elinks [12:23] !spidermonkey [12:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about spidermonkey [12:23] grrr [12:23] i prefer the kernel way [12:23] Andreica, what program are you using as a front end for the webcam? [12:23] Tyrath: read the last few comments at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/elinks/+bug/64031 [12:23] LjL, ah, cool. Thanks :) [12:23] Obama! [12:23] :D [12:23] regarding the symlink, Tyrath [12:23] :) [12:24] siccness: well first I've got to work out how to remove elinks when apt and synaptic won't work [12:24] Sjaki`: has nothing to do with Ubuntu support. [12:24] Tyrath: was that after you compiled it and built it? [12:24] siccness: yep [12:24] Pah, LjL, I'm allowed to say it. [12:25] Tyrath: well yeah those tools wont work [12:25] your best solution from here is [12:25] Tyrath: did you install it with checkinstall? [12:25] that link i just posted [12:25] and recompile [12:25] siccness: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:25] Sjaki`: i beg to differ, please stick to Ubuntu support topics in this channel. [12:25] honestly, this floodbot is stupid. [12:25] hehe [12:25] slacker_nl: I've installed it with deb packages, apt packages, synaptic, build, everything [12:25] i'm using 'cheese webcam booth' [12:26] Tyrath: then you should be able to remove it via apt [12:26] siccness: certainly not as stupid as inventing a new "Enter" punctuation mark when we already have such a big connection of those [12:26] slacker_nl: well I have lol [12:26] slacker_nl: and I've tried to remove it with dpkg [12:26] slacker_nl: and I've removed it with synaptic [12:26] LjL: yeah whatever [12:26] Tyrath: it's !info that gives you information about packages. [12:26] and you still have elinks installed even after removing? [12:27] slacker_nl: they wont work [12:27] slacker_nl: if I type elinks in shell it runs [12:27] because aptitude/apt-get wont pick it up [12:27] you need to do the symlink thing [12:27] recompile + install elinks [12:27] and try that [12:27] siccness: sources or deb or apt? [12:27] *soure [12:27] sources [12:27] *source [12:27] ahk [12:27] Tyrath: if you recompile it from source, use checkinstall [12:27] Tyrath: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:27] any chance smbdy knows smthng about "make" bugs and errors?? [12:27] it will create a debian package for you [12:27] yea and as slacker said, use checkinstall [12:28] that way you can correctly install it and remove it at a later date [12:28] otherwise you'll end up with a stash of broken crap [12:28] so you can remove it with dpkg [12:28] this is after symlink yeah? [12:28] and when i look at 'hardware Drivers', it shows me drivers for my webcam, but i can't use it. [12:28] indeedly [12:28] digit, give us some more info, what program fails to make? what are the errors? [12:28] Andreica how are you trying to use it [12:29] Tyrath: once elinks is working with js [12:29] we'll get you up and running with mutt [12:29] and then mpd + ncmpc [12:29] i'm trying to use it with skype, but skype shows me that no device found, 'Cheese' shows me the same message [12:29] with openbox standalone for sure [12:29] Andreica: what device is it trying to reference (normally says in the error) [12:30] digit, please message me in this channel, not private message [12:30] :) [12:30] ok I've noticed that my smjs directory isn't where the one on that link you gave me is [12:30] it's in a different location [12:30] mine is in usr/bin/smjs [12:30] yeah whatever, lol :) [12:30] does that matter?

[12:44] <|_ocke> oh i wasnt seeing what it was regarding [12:44] lol [12:44] <|_ocke> i just am pissed at totem lately [12:44] Totem is a joke [12:44] siccness: i can't get rid of this thing [12:44] i dont like it either [12:44] siccness: all windows are close [12:44] <|_ocke> i tried watching an OGM in totem and it was running at like 1 fps, so i got VLC and played it and it runs perfect [12:44] kernel: [ 1523.631280] ata6.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 <- This is bad right? :< [12:44] why dont they include vlc as default media player ? [12:45] siccness: and when I compile it does nothing [12:45] mm_work: doesnt look good [12:45] i don't like totem, but I liked the fact that you can view youtube vids from it [12:45] siccness: like it works but doesn't overwrite things [12:45] siccness: or it installs to another directory [12:45] and the original elinks is not getting uninstalled [12:45] try and load it up at the different directory, Tyrath [12:45] Andreica, when did you install these updates? [12:45] some days back [12:45] siccness: I think the directory it's in must be ~/local [12:46] ok, i'm trying to access an ubuntu shared folder from windows xp and its asking for a username and password [12:46] siccness: because i can't install over it [12:46] oh [12:46] heh [12:46] it rejects my username and pass (the one i'm using right now) [12:46] siccness: so yeh - dilemma. have no idea how to get rid of it [12:46] do i need to make another unix account? [12:46] Tyrath: you couldnt install over it because it was currently running, it wont take affect until that piece of software is closed [12:46] so try and run from the ~/locaal [12:46] see what happens [12:46] CoRn_Laptop: check smbpasswd [12:46] siccness: [12:46] if no luck, just recompile again [12:46] siccness: k [12:46] see if that works [12:47] CoRn_Laptop: or you need to adjust your smb.conf to allow guests on your shares [12:47] slacker_nl, how do you do that? smbpasswd asks for the old pass [12:47] 2 days ago [12:47] Does there exist a tool for Ubuntu/Linux that can do a surface scan/repair of a hard drive? [12:47] slacker_nl, the .conf tells me that i need a user account on this computer for every PC that wants to share. [12:48] CoRn_Laptop: you can define guest ok = yes for your share [12:48] guest ok param [12:48] ahh slacker beat me to it [12:48] what do you guys use as an itunes alternative? [12:48] mplayer ;) [12:48] you mean like the old stuff that we used to use on mfm hard drives? [12:48] otherwise look at: valid users = [user] [12:48] firefox gives me this error : "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave" - sound in flash doenst work - smth borks it, works after reboot but stops at some point, any debuging tips ? [12:48] primski: i had this problem once [12:48] o rly [12:48] problem lied at firefox [12:49] ghostlines: depends what you mean by "alternative" [12:49] ps -ef | grep -i firefox [12:49] :o [12:49] kill -9 ... [12:49] ghostlines: I use audacious, but that's a fairly ordinary mp3 player [12:49] pkill -9 firefox would be easier [12:49] there's disk imaging stuff, but I think the drives themselves tend to manage the low level issues these days [12:49] Andreica, open Synaptic Pacage Manager, on the File menu, choose history, get me the results of that particular day please/ Use pastebin [12:49] slacker_nl, and with guest ok = yes, i don't need a username and pass? and the guest can write to the share? [12:49] is it possible to set up volume normalization on pulse audio (ie, not on one specific application)? [12:49] slacker_nl: yeah but that's not how I work :) [12:49] ok, one minute [12:49] CoRn_Laptop: if you define it, yes [12:49] Synaptic Package* [12:49] otherwise no [12:50] CoRn_Laptop: man smb and man smb.conf [12:50] siccness: ok, killed it and restarted - same thing - if i reboot it will work - but dunno what borks it [12:50] primski: lsof might be useful here [12:50] see what's using it [12:51] how do I make the greeter screen resolution different? At the moment my greeter is displaying the same size as after I log in, but at a different screen res, so the greeter login dialog is actually off the physical display area and I have to scroll the screen to find it [12:51] !res [12:51] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[12:53] Andreica, during grub load hit "ESC" it should be the 3rd down from the list, if you havent done and modification to grub [12:53] mijanebuntu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [12:53] kill it [12:53] try again [12:54] i try, in some minutes i will come back [12:54] ok [12:54] i need some hints what i can check on two laptops with a very new ubuntu-8.10-install on each (one 32 and one 64 bit) with problems with vpnc (configured via network-manager). vpnc connects, but any host outside the net where they are in (10.***) is unreachable = Internet is not accessible, 141.28.*** (on the same site) neither. Config seems to be ok, works for me (8.04.1)... [12:54] mijanebuntu: never make a promise [12:54] mijanebuntu, hope it helps, i'm havin problems with flash too, i've found no solution yet :\ [12:54] siccness- no, killing pidgin doenst help - but it used to work with both on - in hardy at least [12:55] anyone here knows how to get chinese input working in ubuntu? [12:55] kill everything using sound, see what happens :D [12:55] heh [12:55] ok [12:55] brb [12:55] ดีครับ [12:55] anyone know if its possible to do volume normalization on all of pulse, or at least flash audio in firefox? [12:55] สวัสดีคร้าบบบ [12:56] thanks, skry, i will look at it [12:56] hansch, /j #ubuntu-cn may be of better help to you [12:56] primski: i bet if you do: ctrl+alt+backspace (killing X), it'd work :) [12:56] Hello everyone [12:57] thanks kevino [12:57] I can't change opacity with Alt+Scroll anymore?? [12:57] i have a usb flash drive that appears to be corrupted (aka, i get heiroglyphics looking stuff that the computer cant read or even erase) i am wonder if there is a program similar to disk utility for osx that i can use to wipe the drive and reformat it [12:57] np [12:57] siccness - probably - reboot helps as i mentioned - but i'd like to know why this happens [12:57] lianimator, did you just reinstall? [12:57] alec: gparted [12:57] this'll narrow it down [12:57] yes, killing process, give me a min [12:57] there'll be a specific application as culpirate [12:57] HOW CAN I SPELL OUT HOW MUCH I SUDDENLY HATE APTITUDE!!!! [12:57] alec: its under system-->administration-->partition editor, if you want to use gui [12:58] KevinO: fresh install of Ibex [12:58] Tyrath: in lowercase, please [12:58] Tyrath: you can't [12:58] Tyrath: emerge that! [12:58] pacman that! [12:58] thanks to aptitude I deleted all this stuff I actually wanted [12:58] !offtopic | siccness [12:58] siccness: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:58] Tyrath: lol [12:58] siccness: I'm half wiping my computer trying to install this stupid application [12:58] Tyrath: ahahahhahaah [12:59] KevinO: the option is no longer in compiz. [12:59] lianimator, did you install compizconfig-settings-manager? [12:59] now I'm going to have to reinstall openoffice :( [12:59] oh [12:59] openoffice? forget that [12:59] i dont know then. :( [12:59] and I don't know what else went [12:59] that's probably apt-get, not aptitude [12:59] you're better off using vim [12:59] siccness: Thats not helpful. [12:59] hopefully when I reboot not everything will stuff up [12:59] limecat: thanks, now once im there do i create a partition table? [12:59] siccness: what makes you think I don't use vim :P [12:59] Pici: I respectfully disagree. [13:00] siccness: I use openoffice when I've got to submit documents in a nice format for my lecturers [13:00] siccness: and i respectfully ask you to tone down, not stray from the channel topic and revise your attitude [13:00] Tyrath: what are you trying to install? [13:00] #hackbbs [13:00] lianimator: I was trying to uninstall elinks but uninstalled all these good progs by accident [13:00] KevinO: yes, I have the config. but I can't find the opacity settings anymore. [13:01] alec: what do you mean? rightclick/format the partition as whatever type you want [13:01] Tyrath: Heard of LyX? Quite good. [13:01] Tyrath: are you using the terminal or gui? [13:01] hello, I have a number in this form: (x*2^y), it's about 200000 didgits, does anyone know a way to calculate it (and to see all the didgits)?$ [13:01] lianimator: terminal [13:01] lianimator: I don't get the GUI [13:01] High five, Tyrath! [13:01] Tyrath: i thought these problems with aptitude were gone. had those other packages been automatically installed? [13:01] lianimator: but aptitude has a GUI [13:01] whenever i try 'sudo smbpasswd -a 'guest1' ' it asks me for a new password, but it 'fails to modify password entry for user guest1', even though i'm running as sudo. what am i doing wrong? [13:01] limecat: its telling me it has an error partitioning the disk? could my usb drive be totally trashed? [13:01] warddr: gsl or python should work [13:02] alec: i imagine so, unless the drive is currently mounted [13:02] and how do I do it with python? [13:02] prince_jammys: I just thought I had elinks selected but it appears everything else was selected [13:02] Tyrath: oh. [13:02] Tyrath: i use aptitude exclusively, and had this problem a long time ago when i switched from apt-get. [13:02] CoRn_Laptop: do you have a system user of the same name? [13:02] prince_jammys: thankfully I closed the terminal before I lost everything [13:02] make sure its not appearing on your desktop or in the places menu--ideally check by issuing the command "mount" [13:02] Tyrath: but never since [13:02] warddr: start a python shell and ask it to compute it? [13:02] if you see it on desktop, rightclick / unmount [13:03] warddr: exponentiation is ** though [13:03] Tyrath: yes, you have to look at what else are being removed. [13:03] but given aptitude is obviously good at deleting things - so good infact that it seems to delete everything it might be my only way to get rid of elinks [13:03] Tyrath: like, removing firefox will remove the ubuntu-desktop I think.... don't know why. [13:03] lianimator: that's just a meta package anyway, so who cares. [13:04] lianimator: yeah loosing firefox would be a killer because I need javascript :/ [13:04] limecat: the drive is mounted, should it not be? [13:04] lianimator: it's something related to automatically installed packages, and combining aptitude with apt-get. [13:04] lianimator: as i understand it ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage that contains all the stuff that makes ubuntu, ubuuntu [13:04] seriously though, how can you remove those that come with ubuntu? without removing the whole set? [13:04] jrib, I'll give it a try [13:04] how do I install the flash-stuff for youtube? i installed gnash but that didnt help [13:04] lianimator: so losing the metapackage just means its no longer technically ubuntu-desktop edition' [13:04] siccness, ahh i see. ok i think i've figured it out now. ive gotta make a seperate 'guest' account here on ubuntu and assign a SMB password to that, right? [13:04] !flash | sleven [13:04] sleven: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [13:04] sleon, uninstall gnash and install flash-nonfree [13:04] sleven the package flashplugin-nonfree is the flash package [13:04] limecat: so it's okay to remove it? [13:04] sleven: remove gnash and install flashplugin-nonfree [13:05] CoRn_Laptop: the user needs to be in existance on the system, yes [13:05] alec: you cannot format/partition a mounted drive [13:05] unmounting it just makes it no longer in use [13:05] then gparted will be able to deal with it [13:05] jrib, it works, ty [13:05] ill be honest though, ive never done such a boring implementation of samba. All my implementations of Samba have been with LDAP. [13:05] lianimator, that option is still there for me, under, Ststem>Preferences>advanced desktop settings>opacify [13:05] warddr: no problem [13:05] lianimator: elinks didn't come with ubuntu [13:05] siccness: hmm, killed 15 processes or so, none of them brought the audio back :S - need to reboot now, everything is weird [13:05] no [13:05] dont reboot [13:05] :o [13:05] ctrl+alt+backspace [13:05] k [13:06] ah ok [13:06] try that first [13:06] limecat: oh ok thanks. now if i unmount and i still get an error, then im probably out of luck right? [13:06] ok, brb [13:06] alsamixer [13:06] primski: restart pulseaudio? [13:06] primski: another potion if that doesnt work [13:06] do a commandline init 1, init 5 [13:06] gah i've had enough [13:06] siccness, alright its working now, thanks a bunch [13:06] i soo have to do some study [13:06] thatll do a sorta reboot, but faster [13:06] CoRn_Laptop: no probs [13:06] will sort this out some other time [13:06] KevinO: it's different from opacity settings, there used to be a tab. I can Alt+scroll to change the window's opacity. [13:06] catch you people [13:06] limecat: why is ini 5 faster than a reboot ? [13:06] catch Tyrath [13:06] limecat: it's the same process === CoRn_Laptop is now known as CoRnJuLiOx [13:06] sorry we couldnt get it working mate [13:06] init 5, not 6 [13:06] thanks for the help [13:07] sleven: if you are using intrepid then Flash 10 is also available in repos. its called adobe-flashplugin [13:07] init 1, init 5 goes to single user mode, then back to multi user [13:07] limecat: init 6 is reboot [13:07] restarts 90% of things IIRDC [13:07] IIRC* [13:07] limecat: 2 is the default runlevel anyway [13:07] limecat: seeing as ubuntu doesn't go beyond runlevel 2 - thats nonsesnse [13:07] alguem que fale em portugues? BRAZIL? [13:07] jrib: 2-5 are the same then [13:07] lianimator, i guess i am not understanding you [13:07] !br | paiva [13:07] paiva: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [13:07] init 5 always worked :\ [13:07] hello, good evening,:-D [13:07] you want to control the opacity of each and every window? [13:07] siccness - no, ctrl--alt-backspace doesnt help, same thing [13:08] hello too [13:08] ehh, im out of ideas :| [13:08] siccness- in fact, didnt even hear the login sound - seems like *all* sounds are broken [13:08] why did they mess with the runlevels anyways :\ i always understood that runlevel 5 was multiuser desktop [13:08] hi [13:08] primski: you're not using mpd are you? [13:08] KevinO: yes, sometimes I'm typing something while looking at something else. it helps to just make the window transparent.. [13:08] siccness: mpd :o whats tthat ? [13:09] nvm [13:09] If i wanna pay Nintendo game on ubuntu . What do you think use emulator [13:09] Which system buff? [13:09] KevinO: I use the touchpad scroll to control it, so it's convenient for me [13:09] i am using gnome-rdp a lot. perhaps this is to blame - i route audio to play on this host - maybe this borks it - let me reboot and try from scratch [13:09] ubuntu [13:09] primski: possibly [13:09] emulator famicom [13:10] BuFF; which Nintendo System? [13:10] Famicom?

[13:10] chris i can apt-get insall Synapti that right ? [13:10] KevinO: ah, I think I've found it [13:10] where do I find emacs source repo for intrepid? [13:11] how to install fonts from *.ttf files please? [13:11] KevinO: under opacity, brightness, saturation.. [13:11] BuFF: yes, though it comes with a default ubuntu desktop [13:11] 怎么连接到ubuntu－cn？ [13:11] Oh [13:11] !cn | wamng [13:11] !fonts | ksbalaji_ [13:11] wamng: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [13:11] ksbalaji_: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[13:12] ksbalaji_: basically, you can just copy them to ~/.fonts [13:12] !mplayer [13:12] mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove.

[13:14] sory if my englisht language very poor [13:15] Speed difference, possible [13:15] dependant on application and hardware one would assume [13:15] BuFF, what is your language? [13:15] Andreica, instal 64-bit if you have the hardware and the live cd works good [13:15] Thai [13:15] ok, thanks [13:15] My screen gets black when playing movies. Screensaver is off and so is powersaving. I get core files from XBMC [13:15] i come from thailand [13:15] pidgin does not works with the google talk invisible status... so any messenger for ubuntu where gtalk invisible status works?

I don't know what you are referring to about "too many mozilla and firefox directories" [13:20] !offtopic [13:20] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:20] you think I'll stick with the freezing one? [13:21] any body used the Wine utility? I have tried it and installed the IE 6 on ubuntu [13:21] prince_jammys: I canno't give my friends old cds... [13:21] restart time again... THANKS alot ubuntu.. crap os [13:21] but how to update the IE version ?

Thx very much. [13:22] Hello Buff can u tell me something @ wine-door [13:22] Remote Desktop Viewer doesn't work. It won't even give me an option to do anything but Connect (and that fails as well). [13:22] energY: what do you mean? hardy is a long term support release, and it's not THAT different from intrepid [13:22] wine-door very good for run software on linux [13:22] energY: it'll receive updates for 3 years [13:22] I had rp9codecs-20050115 codec install. [13:23] energY: you mean the 1 install DVD it takes? sounds expensive ;) [13:23] prince_jammys: So the new thing isn't any cooler? [13:23] energY: not radically [13:23] Johnm: I need 64 and 32 bit [13:23] energY: they can also upgrade the distribution themselves, if they choose to [13:23] energY: may i ask why? (regardless, its two) [13:23] can anyone recommend the best way to encrypt a whole disk in 8.10 [13:23] but have some problem [13:24] how to see partition uuids? [13:24] but i think good begin run software win on linux [13:24] Johnm: 64 bit on my laptop, 32 on the boxes. 64 makes my laptop faster. [13:24] Hi there, ive got a program called exaile, and im trying to play an mp3, and it keeps saying: You do not have the appropriate Gstreamer plugin installed to play this file any ideas please? [13:24] prince_jammys: How did I do that? [13:25] AdvoWork install the right plugin ? [13:25] Sorry if you can't understand my talking to you . becouse my eng language very poor > , , < [13:25] energY: just be aware that things like java plugins wont exist for a native 64-bit browser and you'll need to install a 32 bit browser for use with it. [13:25] energY: tell them you did it on purpose, since intrepid is brand-spanking new and you wanted them to have something reliable ;) [13:25] which software Windows na? [13:25] AdvoWork, I suggest you install mplayer/gmplayer which supports many other formats [13:25] sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly [13:25] energY: they can do it by just clicking on 'upgrade distribution' in the update applet [13:25] Has anyone gotten the Treo to sync properly in 8.10? [13:26] Slartibartfast, but its only a .mp3.. how come it wont play that? and ikonia i dunno, i just installed the program itself [13:26] Johnm: well, that's not quite true [13:26] Can someone please help me with Remote Desktop Viewer in Intrepid? It's not working like it should according to all the Google HOW-TO's I've been reading. [13:26] Hy all [13:26] AdvoWork, then sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly [13:26] hi, i have here a very confusing problem : i've upgraded to 8.10 and now the display on my desktop is totally buggy : there are some black lines that appears every second everywhere on the screen ; my drivers are up-to-date (nvidia-glx-177) and i've already try to reinstall kubuntu-desktop or xserver-xorg ; could someone help me please ? [13:26] JohnM! [13:26] ok, i've gotten the guest account working so that i can transfer files between my windows and ubuntu PCS, but now the files i've transfered belong to 'guest' and not to me. [13:26] tillux1: if you want full java support in the sense of it not being a stripped down broken Sun JVM (openjava) then it's fairly true :) [13:26] how do i transfer ownership? [13:26] Johnm: Would my 32 bit wine games be faster in 64 bit wine? [13:26] heya there... is there a way to tell nautilus to open new windows in a tab as the default behaviour? so instead of opening another window just open a tab in the already existing window? [13:26] siccness: hiya [13:26] Johnm: hows my favourite gentoo kernel dev going? :) [13:26] siccness, that worked [13:27] JohnM is the key to success! [13:27] energY: the applications are 32 bit applications, running under an API mapper. They're still 32 bit. [13:27] CoRn_Laptop, always use -dpr at the terminal [13:27] AdvoWork: I know it did. :) [13:27] energY: no [13:27] siccness: I retired a while ago now mate ;) [13:27] siccness: good though. [13:27] Johnm: i know, i know [13:27] Slartibartfast, wait, so whats the exact command? [13:27] but still, i love you. [13:27] while play .rmvb files with GMplayer, it always alert "unable to open DirectShow codec: drvc.dll". it has video and sound, but I cant resize the video picture. any help? Thx very much. [13:27] You're the reason I use linux [13:27] you got me on to progeny :) [13:28] energY: 64bit wine doesn't even support 32bit apps [13:28] CoRn_Laptop, cp -dpr [13:28] Johnm: that being said, I'm now an IBM AIX guy :) === BuFF is now known as BuFFaLo_CyBeR [13:28] ah [13:28] Can someone please help me with Remote Desktop Viewer in Intrepid?

[14:03] Ubuntu_: there are no "patches" for non-lts releases, you have to wait till jaunty or get a normal update [14:03] bye all [14:03] someone has problems with evolution ? Mine doesn't start anymore [14:03] ziroday, yea ive installed them.. still doesnt look the same, the fonts are being picked up though I think from that package [14:03] astor-brazil: run it from terminal, you will get intelligent outputs [14:03] ok now it works... but thats strange.. why no auto-reconnect after reinstall? [14:03] AdvoWork: have you tried tweaking the settings in System > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts? [14:03] ziroday: so how do I get a normal update for 8.10 [14:03] > [14:03] ? [14:03] > [14:03] astor-brazil: can you start it at the terminal and see what it says [14:04] HDready: probably a corrupt profile in ~/ [14:04] ziroday, yeah theyre now set to the same as windows, it just still doesnt look right, and things are expanding over a page width [14:04] Ubuntu_: through the update manager, if you have an internet connection it will appear in the top right and tell you when there are updates. [14:04] ActionParsnip: na i used the solution with rightclick and connect on startup >_> .... yes i know i failed [14:04] AdvoWork: is this in all applications or on in writer? [14:04] HDready: well you know whats going on now so you won :D [14:04] ziroday: I got a kernel update which I installed.

[14:05] good thing im sick [14:05] 8.04 was fantastic [14:05] astor-brazil: ok go find out what that error means [14:05] but I regret that I upgraded to 8.10 so soon. [14:05] not really ActionParsnip ;) but it's ok when it keeps on working^^ [14:05] Ubuntu_: possibly, possibly not. The best thing to do is track or report a bug regarding your issue [14:05] because this would suck to have to be at school while upgrading my os [14:05] Ubuntu_: then reinstall hardy [14:06] HDready: its better to learn whats going on [14:06] ActionParsnip: I guess that is what it leaves me to. [14:06] can i run compiz with an onboard ATI HD 3300 [14:06] ;) [14:06] hello everyone... [14:06] Woa. How did you get the nick Ubuntu? xD [14:06] will this replace my fiesty fawn distro? [14:06] Ubuntu_: reinstall from clean then restore your data from backup [14:06] SOURdiesel: yes [14:06] . [14:06] Linux_: yes [14:06] good [14:06] ziroday: sweet. thanks. [14:06] rabe: do you have a question we can help you with :) [14:06] cause i have very limited HDD space [14:07] and also, will it come with java? [14:07] who is the webmaster of http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/ ? [14:07] SOURdiesel: make sure you have the restricted drivers installed from System > Administration > Hardware Drivers though [14:07] ActionParsnip: I upgraded to 8.10 because it is easy to upgrade to OpenOffice 3.0 from the repositories. [14:07] thank you - yes, a lot of questions [14:07] ... [14:07] gregor_: ask in #ubuntu-website [14:07] that was my primary requirement [14:07] can anyone help me to install LLRNET?

[14:08] warddr: sudo apt-get install llrnet [14:08] ziroday: i was having display issues with 9.10 i did a clean install of 8.04 and loaded the ati accelerator driver. now my graphics are better than before. [14:08] is there a link that you can share on the process? [14:08] oops 8.10 [14:08] Ubuntu_: nope, you have to use an externel repo [14:08] gregor_: #ubuntu-quality should be able to help you with anything with the qa.ubuntu.com sites [14:09] SOURdiesel: awesome [14:09] Anyone here who can tell me how to get the AWN mail checker applet working? It doesn't get my messages. =( [14:09] !llrnet [14:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about llrnet [14:09] ziroday: is that a risk? [14:09] how many gigabytes is gutsy gibbon? [14:09] Ubuntu_: yes [14:09] !find llr [14:09] Anyone else having issues copying to samba network shares, file transfer starts correctly and then hangs for a long time. Network speed also seems to be going slow for gigabit [14:09] ActionParsnip, doesn't exists [14:09] MnemonicPunk: you might want to ask in #awn as well [14:09] ziroday: so what is the other method? [14:09] Linux_: about 2 for a stock install, if you are updatig it will overwrite the packages you have with updated ones [14:09] ok [14:09] so the same? [14:10] there is a problem with WINE - no sound possible... [14:10] ziroday: True. =) But as I already was here anyway, I thought I'd give it a shot. :D [14:10] Ubuntu_: through an externel repo. one sec [14:10] Linux_: yeah pretty much [14:10] Remote Desktop Viewer is not working in Intrepid. Can someone help me? [14:10] cause i only have 2.5 gbs left [14:10] Linux_: thats sufficient [14:10] chadeldridge: you have both computers connected to internet via a switch? my isp had disabled network sharing so had to use an internal network for that [14:10] good [14:10] ActionParsnip, it is a free programm, I'll give you the link: http://primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=872 , second post [14:10] Linux_: you could sudo apt-get clean to clear out old installed debs [14:10] i stole the HDD out of my old computer [14:10] chadeldridge: I had those problems on 8.04 when trying to copy stuff to a Vista network share, thought it was Vista, though. [14:10] MnemonicPunk: not saying you can't ask here, you will probably get better answers in #awn though [14:10] has anyone some experience? [14:10] MnemonicPunk: this is going to a windows 2003 server [14:10] what does deb mean? [14:11] debian? [14:11] does it mean like distributions? [14:11] !deb | Linux_ [14:11] Linux_: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [14:11] thanks [14:11] chadeldridge: Let me check that. I have a Win Server 2003 VM here. Sec. [14:11] Ubuntu_: see here to get openoffice.org 3 https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive [14:11] warddr: read the README file in the zip file [14:11] i thought you were using a different term for distro [14:11] i'm able to visit 192.168.1.1 only if i stop the firewall service.. so my problem is an incorrect firewall configuration.. someone can help me?? [14:11] chadeldridge: From 8.10 to Win Server share, right? [14:11] MnemonicPunk: yes :-D [14:12] MnemonicPunk: i am starting to think it may be some issue with my network card driver or something [14:12] ActionParsnip, the only thing I find there is : * Released under GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE [14:12] * (See file LICENSE that must be included with this software) [14:12] Anybody notice any issues with nfs-kernel-server? Mine seems to hang up every once in a while and I need to restart server. [14:12] warddr: as is most linux software [14:12] Trying to compile the ubuntu .27 kernel gives this error: ERROR: "ivtv_reset_ir_gpio" [ubuntu/lirc/lirc_pvr150/lirc_pvr150.ko] undefined! [14:12] ActionParsnip, I know but it doesn't work for this one [14:12] I'm having trouble with my upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 and the new nm-vpn [14:12] What module/feature is that? [14:12] chadeldridge: Have you tried wiresharking the transfer or sniffing for errors any other way? [14:13] warddr: why not, just obey gpl standard licensing and you are fine to use it [14:13] whenever I get a proper connection, the dns lookup fail [14:13] MnemonicPunk: was doing that as you asked .. lol [14:13] Lukian: that is the infrared controller part === MenZa is now known as MenZa_Aries [14:13] ActionParsnip, but I don't know how to use it [14:13] make llrner doesn't work, ./llrnet neither [14:13] chadeldridge: Sorry it's gonna take a bit longer. Obviously W2k3 forgot that it was completely setup and insists to reinstall itself. [14:13] ziroday, shouldn't disabling/not including "IrDA subsystem support" 'fix' that? [14:14] MnemonicPunk: that doesnt supprise me :-D .. ill be around [14:14] warddr: looks like you gotta compile it [14:14] Lukian: I believe so, however have never compiled my own kernel before [14:14] how do i remove Firefox shockwave flash? it takes too much cpu when loading a flash website [14:14] and how do I do that? [14:14] ActionParsnip, make llrnet doesn't work [14:14] warddr: sudo apt-get install build-essential [14:15] warddr: you can get it off your install cd [14:15] ActionParsnip, is already installed [14:15] ziroday, it didn't :( Perhaps there's a driver module in here somewhere.. was hoping someone knew where it was, so I don't have to go through every menu again :( [14:15] warddr: then follow this lot [14:15] Hi. I am planning to dploy a number of ubuntu workstations in a windows Active Directory enviroment. I have set up winbind and kerberos, but that ersults in the users having to type "Domain\username" in gdm. [14:15] !compile | warddr [14:15] warddr: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [14:15] Is there any way of getting a "domain choose" like in SUSE, or simply make GDM pop up with the gdm part already in place? [14:15] benedikt_: i thought that was standard [14:15] one of my CMS -require- php4.. how can i install this on ubuntu? [14:16] what do i need to install to run compiz in (hardy), compiz fusion icon and desktop effects? [14:16] ActionParsnip: what was standard? [14:16] Doesnt look like it [14:16] SOURdiesel: its all preinstalled, all you need to do is go to System > Preferences > Appearance > Desktop Effects [14:16] benedikt_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=794374 [14:17] benedikt_: i always type my domain name\username when i login [14:17] six! [14:17] oops [14:17] ActionParsnip: for me, its not a problem. But i want to make it is easy as possibel for the users. [14:17] sic! [14:17] mind you im a member of about 9 domains [14:17] benedikt_: that link should help [14:18] ziroday, ah! think I found it under "Ubuntu Supplied Third-Party Device Drivers" [14:18] ActionParsnip: ill try it. i used the likewise stuff to join the domain. [14:18] Thanks a lot. [14:18] np [14:19] ziroday: how do i bring up the cube effect? [14:19] SOURdiesel: you need to install ccsm [14:19] !ccsm | SOURdiesel [14:19] SOURdiesel: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [14:19] ziroday: nice. thanks. [14:20] * ActionParsnip is going all out for eyecandy just for laughs today [14:20] Ah, 8.10 only enables the button with simple-ccsm? Didn't know that, was already wondering why it won't show up. ^^ [14:21] MnemonicPunk: you can run it from terminal instead, easier [14:21] i want to run both php4 and php5 on a server.. how can i do this in ubuntu? i see no packages for php4 in the repositories [14:21] ziroday: thanks. [14:21] zamba not really a good idea [14:21] zamba: apache only really likes one version loaded, it's quite an admin to seperate [14:22] ActionParsnip: Yes. But today in school a classmate asked me how to get the button back. Being used to compiz-config for that, I told him he should install that and then wondered where the hell the button went. xD [14:22] bye [14:22] I've got a dns issue with the vpn client in nm-applet [14:23] when I connect using vpn, all some dns lookup fail [14:23] MnemonicPunk: id have shrugged, buttons are for girls [14:24] hi [14:24] all [14:24] ActionParsnip: "Real men use a 9V battery and connect and disconnect it with a 9600 baud rate to emulate keyboard input!" === lmr_ is now known as lmr[lunch] [14:25] MnemonicPunk: oh definately [14:25] MnemonicPunk: keyboards use 5V [14:25] MnemonicPunk: i just find cli way faster than using silly menus [14:26] benedikt_: Maybe. xD Don't know much about that, I'm more a software guy. :D [14:26] wow this chat glitched out on me [14:26] what the heck [14:26] how can I deactivate compiz? [14:26] it crashes every time I boot into gnome [14:26] eitreach: do you run kde or gnome? [14:26] kde works, however [14:26] elTigre: you can try the" services " [14:26] Guest14138: Yeh, Pidgin sometimes crashes with this channel. [14:26] eitreach: kwin --replace or metacity --replace [14:26] eitreach: depending which desktop you are using [14:26] Guest14138: now that was helpful... [14:27] pidgin? unstable? surely you jest [14:27] and uncheck auto start [14:27] pidgin is inwincible [14:27] ActionParsnip: For most things CLI is actually faster than menus, yes. But sometimes not. ^^ [14:27] well i think i have to restart this IRC thingy again [14:27] Guest14138: sorry I have not the least idea what you mean or how to do it. I don't have access to my gnome desktop because it crashes every time [14:28] do you have any other desktop available? [14:28] add someone to yahoo/msn/aim/whatever in pidgin, and add an alias for them at the same time, and it crashes. [14:28] kde [14:28] well personally i have only used gnome [14:28] eitreach: take it out of startup [14:28] but i think you can still take it out from kde [14:28] !startup [14:28] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [14:28] hi [14:28] isn't dos2unix a part of the packages? [14:29] apelgate: tofrodos [14:29] does this error realted to hard drive : end-request: I/0 error, dev sda, sector 1244578 bus error ? [14:29] damn [14:29] woops sorry [14:29] Seaboy: Possibly Try using fsck on the drive. [14:30] anyone know what i have to edit to get my laptop to suspend when i close the lid? [14:30] may i know how to speak to somebody on this channel? === njinja is now known as _plague_87 [14:30] !justask | hugh__ [14:30] hugh__: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:30] elTigre: can you get a command prompt? if so type metacity --replace [14:30] legend2440: its a terminal :) [14:30] hugh__: what you mean? [14:31] hugh__: private im? [14:31] legend2440: funny.... [14:31] legend2440: Gnome crashes on login [14:31] guest14138 is speaking to me, [14:31] MnemonicPunk: I get this when I want to install some packages, and on the other hand I cannott login to my desktop, maybe these two problems relatted? [14:31] how can i do that? [14:31] i'm fresh on IRC [14:31] well right click on the person's nickname [14:31] and do send im [14:31] hugh__: just put the person's name in front of what you say. Try: jri [14:32] that works too [14:32] Seaboy: Can not login? Can you get more specific? From what you said now, there seems to be something wrong with your disk but you should provide more details. =) [14:32] elTigre: can you still login with KDE? [14:33] ActionParsnip, I always get errors when I try to make it [14:33] elTigre: what i meant was if you boot into recovery mode then type metacity --replace. i think that disables compiz [14:33] right click doesn't work but name plus tab works [14:33] never mind...got it workin... [14:33] tks a lot [14:33] warddr: then you need to troubleshoot them [14:33] MY XCHAT keeps logging off after a few minutes' [14:33] warddr: you may need some extra libraries apt-getting [14:33] with no good error-resonse, wtf!? [14:33] ActionParsnip, there are lot of .c files who arn't found [14:33] is there another chatprogram tha ti can apt-get? [14:33] asdsadsadasdsa: run xchat from terminal, you wil get intelligent output [14:33] hugh__: well i am using pidgin instead of other ones [14:33] i do [14:33] but with & [14:33] legend2440: Yes it does but only for the moment. After reboot/logout+login it will be back to compiz. ^^ [14:34] so i think that's why i can do right click on the user names [14:34] hi .. can someone please help me .. i need my computer to boot default with windows xp .. thing is ive installed ubuntu aswell but when the pc boots others dont usually wait around for the option screen and some of them are so daft they dont understand what to do .. so i need the machine to boot by default into windows xp .. is there a way to configure the mbr or the bootcamp or something ?? [14:34] warddr: then you may need some -dev packages for the things it uses [14:34] vegombrei: are you on a mac? [14:34] MnemonicPunk: everything is ok until splash screen, but when I login, I just have the mouse pointer and a white screen, and nothing else [14:34] vegombrei: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the default system to boot [14:35] legend2440: your logic is faulted, hehe. "Failsafe" mode uses compiz and crashes, but if it wouldn't, I wouldn't need to run metacity --replace in the first place1 [14:35] Seaboy: try restarting x server [14:35] Guest14138, is what i'm doing right/ [14:35] Seaboy: Did you try fsck? [14:35] MnemonicPunk: yes but if he can get it to boot into gnome or whatever then he can disable it in system>prefs>appearance [14:35] !fsck > Seaboy [14:35] Seaboy, please see my private message [14:35] hugh__: mostly yes [14:35] *yawn* [14:35] hugh__: since i learned this from other people [14:35] legend2440: Yes. [14:35] btw, i'm using x-chat [14:35] ActionParsnip, and how do I know wich -dev packages? [14:36] MnemonicPunk: ok I'll try, doesn't it related to graphic driver or something? [14:36] warddr: websearching will tell you [14:36] hugh__: well i learned this thing from someone who is using x chat [14:36] Guest14138: I did it, but no changes [14:36] i want to get conky 1.6.1 for ubuntu 8.04.1. on launchpad.net i found conky 1.6.1 and a diff.gz and dsc... how do i apply the diff? [14:36] no .. this is a dell pc .. thing is it belongs to my g/f and she just cant be bothered with ubuntu and everytime she boots the pc she gets really pissed it boots ubuntu [14:36] Seaboy: If it was graphics drivers, you would most likely see nothing. [14:36] elTigre: if you press ESC at bootup and choose Recovery it should boot to a command prompt. then type metacity --replace [14:36] !info conky [14:36] conky (source: conky): highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 179 kB, installed size 556 kB [14:36] Seaboy: well it much be the gnome panels again [14:37] Seaboy: this happened right after you did partial update right? [14:37] ActionParsnip: how do i change it in that window ?? its got a lot of text in there is there a particular order ? [14:37] I've got a file system issue that I'm hoping to get some help with... I have / and /var on separate file systems. I need to move /var onto / and I don't want to screw anything up. Can anyone tell me how to do this...? [14:37] vegombrei: you change it in linux as the boot part thing for grub will be in linux [14:37] legend2440: but that isn't a permanent solution [14:37] Guest14138: no, not partial upgrade, I performed a clean install [14:37] weird [14:38] elTigre: then if it boots to gnome you can disable compiz permanently [14:38] Seaboy: did you try to remove evolution? [14:38] When I installed ubuntu I forgot to plug in one of my network adapters, is there a way to bring the second on online without a reinstall? [14:38] vegombrei, sudo aptitude install kgrubeditor, that is a graphical editor [14:38] ActionParsnip: true ... im in that window gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and its got a lot of text .. i donno what to do in there [14:38] Guest14138: I have this error in kubuntu [14:39] what error? [14:39] terrestre: installing ... [14:39] vegombrei: let me check mine [14:39] ActionParsnip: ok cool [14:40] vegombrei: you should have a line that says default 0 [14:40] Hello. Is it possible to know what exactly is corrected when updates are available? [14:40] is there any patch for shutdown stopping in the halt? [14:40] vegombrei: change that accordingly with which line should be default [14:40] Guest14138: I mean this problem, and in addition when I want to install something in console mode I have this error too : end-request: I/0 error, dev sda, sector 1244578 bus error === Guest89856 is now known as juro === juro is now known as juro_ [14:41] well i can't help with that [14:41] vegombrei: just note that the counting starts from 0, which means, the first line is 0 === juro_ is now known as Guest36640 [14:41] Seaboy: because last time i encountered that problem i was trying to uninstall evolution [14:41] ActionParsnip: but dude when ubuntu updates it adds more lines in there .. [14:41] ahem... I was wondering if anybody has ran Avogadro on 8.10, I get startup error, avogadro guys suggested I ask here.... I get some mesa lib error [14:41] Seaboy: sound like your drive is maybe dying, boot to live cd, unmount all partitions and run fsck [14:41] http://avogadro.openmolecules.net [14:42] Seaboy: and the other was the accidental partial upgrade [14:42] how can i add the guest session option at the login screen? [14:42] ActionParsnip: xp is always the last option so the line number must always change [14:42] vegombrei: then you gotta change it after the update, or make the windows boot the top option [14:42] vegombrei: then you gotta manually change it each time [14:42] Guest14138: ok, thank you anyway [14:42] vegombrei: You can also put it right before the "Automagic" stuff. [14:43] vegombrei: The Ubuntu updater will only modify the lines marked as automagic. It clearly states where those start and end. =) [14:44] why is ntfs sooo slow? [14:44] scientes: its proprietary [14:44] can someone tell me why i get these errors -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/67925/ [14:45] and how to fix them [14:45] Hi. How to start the Mobile Broadband connection that I set up ?

[14:46] what do the UUID numbers in fstab mean? [14:47] Pirate_Hunter: in 8.10 it basically is empty [14:47] My VMs run fine from ntfs drives. o.O (Or do you mean nfs?) [14:47] my computer basically stopped, the ntfs driver just takes alot of cpu [14:47] i used the kgrubeditor .. it was a graphical version of grub editor .. i managed to make xp default in there .. i should reboot and see if it worked ... u think ill have to modify that everytime ubuntu updates aswell ?? [14:47] akahige: they are how the system identifies your partitions [14:47] !uuid | akahige [14:47] akahige: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [14:47] Pirate_Hunter: X -configure [14:48] chadeldridge, yes it is, it is empty [14:48] vegombrei: not if you did it right [14:48] creeping still glitched [14:48] Pirate_Hunter: 8.10 doesn't need a complete xorg.conf anymore. [14:48] Pirate_Hunter: in 8.10 its used very little unless you are using proprietary drivers and then it will have entries [14:48] hugh__: well this is annoying me now [14:48] Pirate_Hunter: It will respect it though if you fill it with entries. [14:49] how can I change the mount points? [14:49] well this is annoying me now [14:49] ubottu: I need to consolidate /var from a separate partition onto / but it looks to be more complicated than just copying it and editing fstab [14:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:49] still glitched out [14:50] anyone experienced getting the dust and dust-extras theme to work on intrepid?

[14:50] well considering the fact that you can respond to messages it is pretty nice programming ubottu [14:51] don't mind my weird nick this is a glitch caused by pidgin T.T [14:51] ziroday, still here?

Then copy the contents of the partition that is /var to /var in the partition that is /. Does that make sense? [14:53] How do I setup the sound in firefox? I can't watch flash with sound..

[14:54] pisse: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-users/2007-July/001338.html [14:54] akahige: right.

I would like to roll back to Hardy. [15:02] (Yes, it makes a difference sometimes.) [15:02] xiangfu: and ActionParsnip it worked befor ethe upgrade to intrepid [15:02] ushimitsudoki: not without a reinstall [15:02] genil yes. and it was installed before the upgrade too [15:02] chadeldridge: that is what i feared. thanks for the confirmation [15:02] ushimitsudoki: sorry it was not good news [15:03] MnemonicPunk: no. telnet locahost 22 gives ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused [15:03] Also [15:03] Heh, so many people wanting to roll back. o.o [15:03] Qaldune: somebody just mentioned this :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204022 [15:03] hanasaki: try sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get --reinstall install openssh-server [15:03] MnemonicPunk: yeah. don't want to be negative but 8.10 is looking like epic fail :( maybe 8.10.1 will cure my blues [15:03] ActionParsnip: not aptitude? [15:03] hanasaki: Yeh, I read that. But sometimes 127.0.0.1 works where localhost doesn't. That's why I asked. ^^ [15:03] xiangfu: that doesn't have to do with my problem at all [15:03] MnemonicPunk: after performing fsck, I still have the error and also the white screen [15:04] Maybe im in the minority but 8.10 has been really great for me, 1 issue with a flaky nvidia driver (that is getting fixed now) and this network speed issue are my only complaints, been pretty painless otherwise [15:04] Seaboy: You had those errors after trying to upgrade, right? [15:04] When I installed ubuntu I forgot to plug in one of my network adapters, is there a way to bring the second on online without a reinstall? [15:04] ah good pont MnemonicPunk nope that fails too [15:04] hanasaki: i always use apt-get [15:05] i'm sure that pulseaudio thing is troubling a lot of people [15:05] chadeldridge: then I am jealous for you! :) I literally have a list of problems (as in working on my second blog posting cataloging things went wrong). sigh. [15:05] chadeldridge, sorry for the late reply that method dont work anymore but in a way i dont mind this way im more in control of my xorg which i have to thank arch for that [15:05] hanasaki: if you download fresh and reinstall the service it may work [15:05] localgod12: i think yes. you can give that a try. [15:05] I actually like 8.10. It gave me headaches getting it installed but after that ir just... works. As Ubuntu is supposed to. [15:05] Horrido! ushimitsudoki I would like to view your blog afterwards :) [15:05] ushimitsudoki: what is going on, i can possibly help [15:05] hanasaki: as it will be from intrepid repos [15:05] ActionParsnip: will that overwrite existing configs in /etc/ssh ? [15:06] xiangfu: it actually does, just missed a number in the link. thanks dude. [15:06] hanasaki: back it up if you want, just to be sure [15:06] chadeldridge: well the "straw that broke the back" so to speak is the severe performance drop with nvidia drivers [15:06] hanasaki: sudo cp /etc/ssh /etc/ssh_old [15:06] I can't see the metacity after I do a restart, can someone help me pleaces? [15:06] ushimitsudoki: 177.80 or 173? [15:06] chadeldridge: 177.80 [15:06] ushimitsudoki, don't feel bad, the same can be said about ATI as well, but that's to be expected.. It's ATI after all :) [15:07] ushimitsudoki: 177.80 is bugged for a lot of things for me, try going to 173 and see if the issue still exists [15:07] chadeldridge: well, i'll give it a shot - haven't tried a diff driver [15:07] MnemonicPunk: My desktop suddenly changed to white, and in that moment I wasn't upgrading and just copyingg a disc, to silve the problem I tried to install some packages in console mode and got this error [15:07] The driver stuff sucks, yes. I'm glad it doesn't affect me, after all I have a nvidia card. xD [15:07] ushimitsudoki: you will see new nvidia drivers soon as i understand [15:07] after the reinstall of ssh.. still no work [15:07] xomp: yes but i went from ~120FPS to ~14FPS! wowzers that's a hard pill to swallow [15:08] ushimitsudoki: silve+solve [15:08] ushimitsudoki, ouch, indeed! I can't watch any videos after the upgrade. Things get all stuttery and things blink inside the video all weird like lol. You have 1up'd mario here :) [15:09] Seaboy: Seems like something is wrong with your disk somehow, since the I/O errors and the white screen seem to be related.

[15:27] prinnce_jammys: thanks I'll try that one [15:27] MnemonicPunk: a GUI way...cool [15:27] Frijolie: Metapackages don't really have "content", they only depend on certain packages. [15:28] MnemonicPunk: huh, never knew that mixer existed but how do i make the master and pcm change with each other? [15:28] MnemonicPunk: ah, so a metapackage is more like a "script" to get the other packages they depend on? [15:28] i was getting this ---> http://paste.ubuntu.com/67925/ and when i tried to fix it using gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 437D05B5; gpg --export --armor 437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add - i got this --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/67937 someone help me fix it please [15:28] Al1_ What's the file extension? [15:28] Frijolie: it's simply an empty package that merely lists dependencies [15:28] it's not a script [15:29] Al1_ (The last three letters of the file after the dot) [15:29] firefox is unable to play any sound in 8.10 amd64. any idea? [15:29] lol they dont have one but when i checked it in properties it said x-executable [15:29] Al1_ Never mind, I'm downloading it now. [15:29] LjL: I didn't mean it literally, i'm trying to conceptually understand it. [15:29] Al1_ Right-click the file, go to permissions, and make sure you can execute the file [15:30] Frijolie: since the dependencies have to be satisfied, they all get installed. [15:30] ok [15:30] Al1_ Right-click > Properties, I mean. [15:30] I'm having a hard time understanding samba, when I do a smbpasswd to add a new user and have manually edited the smb.conf and added the shares I can't log on with the password I set but instead with the servers account password, the users are the same in samba and the server, but the passwords I set are different. Should the passwords be the same ? [15:30] prince_jammys: ok, that's making sense [15:30] ye [15:30] i can [15:30] is there a way to make Firefox emulate an Internet Explorer, Safari, cellphone, etc... so a page thinks I'm using one of them? [15:30] Qaldune: I got the same problem on my intel.. there are much info on google about 64 vs 32bit.. first thing I'd do is to start the update manager and download any new packages.. [15:30] hey, on Ubuntu Server, how can I change the repo server that's used? my current one is really slow/loaded [15:30] cousteau: The User Agent Switcher extension [15:30] Frijolie: Basically it's an empty package. But for example the firefox package depends on all packages that are part of firefox (binaries, branding, language files etc...). That way, it will install all the packages to satisfy the dependancies. [15:30] cousteau: you can try a addon for changing User Agent string [15:30] cousteau: agent-changer extension it works sometimes other times it doesn't [15:31] rahmen: i got it all updated [15:31] Frijolie: for example if you do 'apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop', all the packages that get installed will show up as dependencies. installing 'ubuntu-desktop' then causes all those packages to be installed [15:31] Frijolie: well, conceptually it's not a script, because there is no list of actions that it can arbitrarily perform (which is the concept of a "script"). it simply is a normal package, but it's empty. since any normal package has a list of dependencies (which are automatically handled by APT in all cases), a metapackage allows creating "collections" of related packages to be installed in one move. [15:31] rahman: did you manage to fix it? [15:31] or just use Proxomitron (tiny local proxy server) and hide your agent :p [15:31] hello [15:31] Frijolie: It's important that you know the difference when you want to "uninstall" a metapackage, since that will NOT remove the packages it depends on. [15:31] ok, thanks (another way is to change the about:config options "general.useragent.*"; but I didn't know how) [15:31] Qaldune: ok, even if you press "Check" ? I had loads of updates to download.. haven't fixed it yet.. but I'm updating all stuff now so I guess I'll reboot and try it out :] [15:32] Can any one help me on a sound issue ?? [15:32] Wireless networking question: it doesn't work. "Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter" doesn't reliably work with ath5k. I think I'm doing it wrong, though. Any suggestions on how I can debug this? [15:32] Al1_ Double-click it and run [15:32] i bought a siemens pcmcia cardbus siemens gigaset pc card 108 is an theros 5212 on 802.11g [15:33] ymca: what's the issue? [15:33] ok [15:33] MnemonicPunk: it wont say "the following packages are installed and no longer needed" or whatever that message is? [15:33] i did lspci | grep Ethernet [15:33] it doesnt [15:33] lol [15:33] i double click and nothing [15:33] Frijolie: It might. You just can't rely on that. [15:33] 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01) [15:33] Al1_ Hold on. It's not done downloading (it's slow for some reason. :S) [15:33] that was sort of the point :S [15:33] how can i like 'cat' a text-file and just take the last line from it and put that line into another textfile? [15:33] Al1_ Sorry. [15:33] LjL: so it's an empty shell that tells apt that it needs to install this list of associated packages? [15:33] np lol [15:34] thanks for helping me out [15:34] subdolus: tail -1 FILENAME > NEWFILE [15:34] I can't access my external harddrive and change the permissions. How would I do that? [15:34] ahhh there _IS_ a switch for tail. cheers trontonic! [15:34] subdolus: or tail -1 filename >> existing file [15:34] yup, got it. cheers mate [15:34] Frijolie: If you install the firefox meta package and then install a language pack for your language, it will depend on some of the firefox packages and therefore not mark them as "no longer needed". [15:34] prince_jammys: that even shows the package maintainers and other information which could be useful [15:34] subdolus: yes :) also, tail --help can be helpful [15:34] it blinks, desire to etablish a connection to my network, infact it see the ESSID, when i says to go in internet nothin happen ? [15:35] can i use the cube as a screensaver? [15:35] Hey , i just installed my Ibex 8.10 and its all works fine ! but i have no sound at all !! can you please help me get my sound working ? [15:35] ymca: have you turned up the volume? [15:35] what isthe {u} in some package names? [15:35] Frijolie: yes. look into apt-cache, dpkg, and dpkg-query for ways to obtain detailed (and specific to your needs) information about packages [15:35] MnemonicPunk: I have noticed that some other packages try to uninstall the ubuntu-desktop metapackage [15:35] ymca double click on the sound icon upper right corner, turn all volume up [15:36] Frijolie: though that's also done by the gui front-ends [15:36] Frijolie: In that example apt would only see "Oh, the language pack still requires this and that package, they are still needed". Even if you remove the meta package. [15:36] yes i just did but no sound [15:36] all volumes are up.. [15:36] hanasaki: "to be upgraded", I think [15:36] trontonic: well, short of crontab'ing a 'tail ' command every second, whats the best way to print the visitors IP address in a txt file as an index for www/apache === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk [15:36] ymca: do as Qualdune said and also turn off "Analog/Digital Output Jack" in switches in the same volume control [15:36] ymca: open system>preferences>sound to the test sounds work? [15:36] how do I see the ubuntu version? [15:37] so you visit lol.com and it just prints the visitors IP [15:37] ymca: what soundcard do you have? [15:37] no its not working :( [15:37] subdolus: You can use PHP for that, for example. [15:37] ymca: try changing Autodetect to alsa [15:37] aplay -l makes : card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: CMI9880 [CMI9880] [15:37] subdolus: hm, you could try "tail -f logfile >> someotherfile", but I'm not entirely sure if it would work. tail -f continually outputs lines as they are added [15:38] do samba users that match with the servers user accounts have to use the same password ? [15:38] ymca: in System -> Preferences -> Sound change to alsa or ICH and test until you find something that works.. [15:39] trontonic: how to i get them to get updated? did apt-get upgrade [15:39] how do I see the linux version? [15:39] i tried every in the list nothing seems to works [15:39] !version | apelgate [15:39] apelgate: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [15:39] i was getting this ---> http://paste.ubuntu.com/67925/ and when i tried to fix it using gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 437D05B5; gpg --export --armor 437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add - i got this --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/67937 someone help me fix it please [15:39] what issue? [15:39] hanasaki: 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' will ensure all your packages are up to date. [15:39] hanasaki: This should ugrade your system: aptitude update; aptitude safe-upgrade [15:39] thanks [15:39] MnemonicPunk: I'm no good with PHP... is there something out there already used for this? [15:39] ymca: ok, in terminal, write alsamixer and turn up all volumes there too [15:40] How can I reinstall a corrupted bootloader? [15:40] MnemonicPunk: I could't do that, when I type sudo fsck -a /dev/sda/ >> error.txt it just say drive is busy or somethink, look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/67947/ [15:40] what is upgrade vs safe-upgrade [15:40] can someone help me? [15:40] hanasaki: "safe-upgrade" is replacing "upgrade" for some strange reason. I use synaptic. [15:40] Al1 Double-clicking the Dolphin executable works for me. [15:41] hsn: just ask your question and someone might now the answer :) [15:41] done , still i cannot seems to hear anything [15:41] i did.. around 4 times [15:41] rahmen: i updated a kernel update i just had ready, changed all sound setting to OSS reboot and now it's working [15:41] trontonic: thanks.. i am only console here for now so no synaptic [15:41] i was getting this ---> http://paste.ubuntu.com/67925/ and when i tried to fix it using gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 437D05B5; gpg --export --armor 437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add - i got this --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/67937 someone help me fix it please [15:41] hanasaki: np :) [15:41] hanasaki: check 'man aptitude' for a description of safe-upgrade [15:41] Al1_ Double-clicking the Dolphin executable works for me. Try running it in a terminal to figure out the problme. [15:41] I downloaded the 8.10 ISO and was gonna check out the Live CD, but instead of a desktop, it boots to a BusyBox shell... did I get the wrong ISO or is there something I'm missing? [15:41] thanks prince_jammys [15:42] hsn: then you could try a forum, or ask again [15:42] hmm still have packages with {u} but upgrade didnt upgrade anything.. whats up w/ that? [15:42] Seaboy: Then you should boot from the liveCD for that. Make sure you copy the textlog somewhere on your HD or a USB stick afterwards so it doesn't get lost when rebooting! [15:42] Qaldune: I'll try it out [15:42] trontonic: i was getting this ---> http://paste.ubuntu.com/67925/ and when i tried to fix it using gpg --keyserver [15:42] hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 437D05B5; gpg --export --armor 437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add - i got this --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/67937 someone help me fix it please [15:42] i've upgrade my kernel today and found broadcom STA driver. now i'm using b43 driver for my BCM4311. should I replace b43 wireless driver with the new broadcom STA driver ? [15:43] hsn: what is your goal with all that? [15:43] subdolus: You can do " [15:43] ymca: I'm not sure I can help you.. if you hang around in here you'll prolly get help by someone better than me :P try google and find someone with the same problem as you [15:43] trontonic: goal? [15:43] MnemonicPunk: no, it isn't lost, it doesn't perform the command, [15:43] hanasaki: then I'm not sure. It's nothing to worry about, though. Upgrade upgrades all you need. [15:43] hi. suppose that I have myscript.sh. How can i retrieve, inside the script itself, the directory where the script is located ? [15:43] hsn: yes, is your goal to install a specific application? [15:43] trontonic: i just want to fix it because everytime i update, i get that message [15:43] !sound | ymca [15:43] ymca: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[15:43] MnemonicPunk: jesus. I don't like the idea of that [15:43] If I was wo install windoze back on another partition will I need to fix grub and if so how [15:43] hsn: then you can remove the offending line from /etc/apt/sources.list [15:44] I can't access my external harddrive and change the permissions. How would I do that? [15:44] ocs: very difficult to do properly. go to #bash and type '/msg greybot faq location' [15:44] but cheers for the ideas [15:44] !wireless [15:44] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:44] subdolus: That will output everything that you'd normally see in the console when running that command. (For example a tail on your apache log, if that's what you want.) [15:44] !grub | l3d [15:44] l3d: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [15:44] trontonic: can't i fix it? [15:44] (i like this bot) [15:44] trontonic: if i remove the line, the problem will still be there [15:44] subdolus: I don't like it either, just trying to find a quick one-liner for that. ^^ [15:44] hsn: yes, but see, when you add repos that need keys, they often give you the full instructions on their webpage. Find that webpage and your issue is solved. [15:44] Hi folks. [15:45] hsn: it seems to me like you followed half of the instructions and then need help for the other half, which is only written down on the page where you originally found those instructions. It's hard for people here to know where that could have been. [15:45] trontonic: umm, how do i do that? i'm new to ubuntu [15:45] i'm using b43 driver for my BCM4311. should I replace my installed b43 wireless driver with the new broadcom STA driver ? [15:45] I'm running an Asus Z9000, with 1 gb of memory, and lots of hard drive space. It runs fedora, debian, win xp pro, etc. [15:45] trontonic: someone from irc helped me, but i think he left or is away [15:46] However, after a no problem install of ubuntu 8.10 server, I get this error message when it tries to boot: [15:46] hsn: Okay, so you did a fresh install of Intrepid and then suddenly you got that message at apt upgrade? [15:46] Qaldune: didn't work out.. what do you have in Firefox: Edit -> Preferences? [15:46] is there a GUI app for configuing two monitors?

[15:46] i've seen conflicting recommendations regarding this... do i need to set the fsck flag in fstab for luks partitions? [15:46] Qaldune: ok.. so what do you have in "Flash video" and "Shackwave Flash file" ? [15:47] !wireless > e-frame [15:47] e-frame, please see my private message [15:47] Qaldune: yeah I changed stuff in there but didn't work.. just want to know if we have the same settings in firefox [15:47] hsn: You are contradicting yourself now. It's hard to find the error when I get two messages at the same time. Is it a clean system or a system that has been messed with? [15:47] !grub | bigfatredguy [15:47] bigfatredguy: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[15:49] Ok, I have completed a reinstall of winXP in my dualboot system. I can boot with the cd and all needed is reinstall grub again but I forgot how to do that. Any suggestions? [15:49] I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit on my other PC... I am prompted to choose where to install it... I have a HHD that is half NTFS partitioned and half unallocated. What should I choose in order to install ubuntu to the unallocated space? [15:49] hsn: so, the situation now is that you 1. Installed Ubuntu, 2. Got help from a random guy, 3. That help broke your system and 4. We need to find out what broke. Right? [15:49] !grub > Neaai [15:49] Neaai, please see my private message [15:49] ubuntu is still there untouched [15:49] Qaldune: ok, I had it set to movie player.. changing that and restarting with OSS in Sound preferences..

[15:52] hsn: then on the list of mirrors, choose "other" [15:52] does anyone know how to set the power management for nics in ubuntu? [15:53] ikonia, I do a lot of server things: lamp, mail, ftp, etc. [15:53] johnfg that is a common issue on vbox due to the way the cpu is emmulated against the server kernel [15:53] johnfg you can do all that on teh desktop version that is a bit more setup for home user kit [15:53] I didn't expect the ubuntu server image to be that different from debian's. [15:53] johnfg it is [15:53] And debian installs flawlessly. [15:53] I've installed a few kernels, one of which I think was over the default kernel. How can I restore back to the original kernel? [15:54] trontonic: there is no archive option under settings [15:54] ikonia, So, even though pae is not listed as one of the minimum requirements, is it? [15:55] johnfg: I don't know if pae is a requiment, but it certainly could be for the server kernel [15:55] hsn: I have Norwegian text so I don't know what the english word is. [15:55] mike-burns: If the system is still running you can just 'apt-get remove kernelname && apt-get install kernelname' [15:55] trontonic: oh, i'll check them all out. just a sec [15:55] MnemonicPunk: Thanks. [15:55] mike-burns: Oh wait [15:55] Question! does anyone know how to set the power management for nics in ubuntu? [15:55] OK, I really wanted to give it a try. It's not like I have no other choice. Any caveats for desktop 8.10? [15:55] heyhey: that depends on the drivers [15:56] MnemonicPunk: How do I get a list of kernels I've installed? [15:56] mike-burns: Make sure you don't let it remove packages that depend on it! [15:56] johnfg: Read the release notes. [15:56] johnfg: shouldn't be, as long as you've got 256 of ram, it should boot fine [15:56] ikonica they are vm virtual drivers [15:56] MnemonicPunk: How do I do that? --force-all or something? [15:56] Hm. After that last kernel update, my machine froze up twice and was unresponsive to magic sysrq [15:56] back to .24 I guess [15:56] heyhey: I don't think they support power managment [15:56] trontonic: theres preferences, repositories and filters [15:56] * nemo pokes around for already reported bugs [15:56] heyhey: bridging will force them to be up all the time [15:56] hsn: settings -> repositories [15:56] Pici, I did read the specs, and reqs. What specifically are you thinking of. What did I miss? [15:56] hsn: I started it with english text just to check :) [15:57] hi all [15:57] ikonica: i have bridged them but after about an hour of inactivity the ubuntu box times out [15:57] trontonic: thx, now what? [15:57] hsn: then where you see "Download from", you can click the list, then select "other" [15:57] is there something strange with last kernel update [15:57] heyhey is it a wirless nic by any chance [15:57] trontonic: done === greenboy is now known as otofrank [15:57] hey guys can you help me, why did musicovery.com dont work with ubuntu 8.10 firefox 3.03 and flash 10 playerẞ any idea [15:57] hsn: then click the "select best server" button [15:57] (ikonia): nope :P [15:58] hsn: now, if the plan works out, the problem will be fixed and your upgrades/updates will go quicker than before [15:58] mike-burns: You can at least view all installed kernel packages (and some more since my grep isn't perfect) with this command: dpkg -l | grep -i linux- === akurei_ is now known as akurei [15:58] i just safe upgrade and : no more network neither wifi or ethernet [15:58] trontonic: o thx, it's testing it now [15:58] Brasil? [15:58] Pici, What did you think I'd find in the release notes about this? [15:59] heyhey: which interface is going down, the physical nic, or the bridge [15:59] i'm audio 5000 [15:59] bridge [15:59] hello all! hey, how can i know if my installed ubuntu is 64 bit or i386?... ... thanks! [15:59] (ikonia): the bridge [15:59] nachi_ uname -a === otofrank is now known as mosted [15:59] heyhey what happens if you try to bring the bridge up ? [15:59] MnemonicPunk: Is there a way for me to tell which are the packages that came with Ubuntu, and which are ones I've installed? [15:59] I can only use my external drive with my main user, but cannot change permissions with that or root. What am I doing wrong? [15:59] i dont know how? [15:59] johnfg: Sorry, lost my connection. 8.10 does not include support for older nvidia cards. [15:59] heyhey what virtual technology are you using (vmware/vbox/kvm/etc) [15:59] vmware [15:59] its x86 64 [16:00] its 64 bit i guess? [16:00] which one should I prefer ? Criterions : Performance, stability, flexibility... Sendmail, Postfix, Exim ? [16:00] heyhey: no idea from within vmware, you may want to check #vmware out for that [16:00] How would I know which version of ubuntu server I"m running? [16:00] nachi_: sounds good [16:00] mike-burns: There is probably one, I just don't know it. xD [16:00] nashk: uname -a [16:00] nashk: what does it say [16:00] uname only show linux kernel version [16:00] lol common question :P [16:00] johnfg: I mean restricted driver support, so 3d acceleration. [16:00] nashk: you can work it out from that, or use lsb_release -a [16:00] mike-burns: /var/log/apt/term.log might help you out [16:00] nashk: what does uname -a show [16:00] (ikonia): how would i do it in ubuntu normally? [16:00] Linux 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Thu Oct 30 04:12:22 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux [16:00] its 64 right? [16:01] ikonia: Ah great, lsb_release worked fine. [16:01] heyhey: its nothing to do with ubuntu [16:01] nashk: tyup and 8.10 [16:01] nashk: yes and 8.10 [16:01] ok.. tnx [16:01] eitreach: /dev drive names are made by udev system at boot and always revert back to root user. The common way is to make a directory on the drive and then make it belong to the user who will be needing it [16:01] so, just wondering. anyone else having problems with this .27 release? [16:01] nobody with network error since last kernel update (update arount 3PM) [16:01] nachsorry, that was meant for you [16:01] mike-burns: You're looking for the kernel name that is running on your system at this moment, right? [16:01] Pici, Thanks for the suggestion, but I haven't any trouble with that before, running debian etch, lenny, fedora, etc., etc., or ubuntu desktop 8.04. [16:01] johnfg: server kernels are not tuned for home hardware [16:02] johnfg: pemtium-m normally in laptops [16:02] hey guys, why i cant click anything on musicovery.comẞ flash player is installed [16:02] pentium even [16:02] mike-burns: If that is the case, ikonia just mentioned the solution for that: uname -a [16:02] genii: I need to make it usable by everyone. I can't do that. [16:02] Pici, I'm looking at the release notes but don't find anything having to do with this pae problem. [16:03] ikonia, You nailed it. [16:03] eitreach: A folder with rights something like 755 then [16:03] Question! Why when I boot up my laptop that has Intrepid on it, does the bar that in the beginning goes side to side, doesn't. I have to hit ESC to keep it moving. Nothing is errored in my boot log. Help? :'( [16:03] can someone answer to me why linux remains doing things from config files? I ask this in terms of is there an idea behind this that is part of tradition or because gui configs take time and cause more problems then there worth..I would appreciate being directed to the right channel and apologize if this is the wrong channel...still learning the culture [16:03] johnfg: server version = a no no in my opinion (just personal opinion) [16:03] mike-burns in terminal type dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages it will create a file called my-packages that lists all the packages you have installed [16:03] genii: I can't change permissions for a folder either. [16:03] aaron__: you can wrap a gui around a config file pretty trivially, and it is frequently done [16:03] aaron__: join ##linjux [16:03] aaron__: join ##linux [16:03] aaron__: ubuntu does a lot of this in particular [16:04] aaron__: you can't so easily unpack a binary hive [16:04] in a text editor [16:04] legend2440: nice one [16:04] So, debian got tuned for the worse, imho, for ubuntu 8.10 server. [16:04] eitreach: You have some fstab entry for this drive? If so please pastebin it for examination [16:04] johnfg: thats debatable - it's only my opinion [16:04] trontonic: ok now i did that, some got fixed but there's 1 still left [16:04] hsn: great, that's one step further. Now, in Synaptic, you can probably fix the last one... [16:05] trontonic: line 3 <-- http://paste.ubuntu.com/67925/ [16:05] MnemonicPunk: Yes, I think that is what I want. [16:05] MnemonicPunk: Seems to be 2.6.27-7-generic but I know it's different from the default. [16:05] But, part of it's fact, in that debian installs, boot, and runs with no problem on this machine. Ubuntu server won't even boot. [16:05] hi all [16:05] genii: There is no trace of it in fstab. [16:05] mike-burns: Alright, hang on. [16:05] johnfg: just meants it's got more generic home pc features enabled inthe kernel [16:05] update: about my question before, i've activated STA wireless driver & remove the b43-fwcutter, and voila, the wireless still works. [16:05] nemo, well its not trivially done for most people that don't have a programming background...it can actually frustrate them...sendmail is a good example....I am taking the phase of learning the concepts behind a mail program then the phase of familiarizing myself with the config file and coming to terms with that sendmail is powerful but I should not shy away from spending lots of time in the config file [16:05] how can I select my monitor model from a list in ubuntu? [16:05] Who use Ubuntu 8,10 version here? [16:06] ikonia, thanks I will direct my questions there [16:06] eitreach: What does command: mount report (only the line with the entry of that drive) [16:06] join ##linux [16:06] trontonic: could you please tell me what to do next? [16:06] ikonia, sorry seems I don't know how to join the channel [16:06] I can not get php5-GD working on my apache install, and I suspect it is because I on on 64bit hardy; Is there something I can do to get it to work? [16:06] hsn: hi, got a phone, back now [16:06] aaron__: put a / in front of that command [16:06] !anyone | minoru_ [16:06] minoru_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [16:06] aaron__: /join #linux [16:06] I'm having a hell of a time with nvidia drivers in 8.10. Currently running in safe grax mode 800x600... how can I get back to atleast 1600x1200? [16:06] johnfg: .... ? there is 2.26.27 i debian ? [16:06] mike-burns: One question: How exactly did you "accidentally install a kernel over yours"? Did you replace the file or install a wrong package? [16:06] ikonia, Thanks. I'm downloading 8.10 desktop to give that a try. [16:07] hsn: yes, in Syantpic, in Settings -> Repositories [16:07] trontonic: yes, the final error is line 3 here --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/67925/ [16:07] MnemonicPunk: I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile for the git kernel. [16:07] mike-burns, thanks I will note this down so I don't ask it again :) [16:07] hsn: there, you can click the tab for "Third-party software" [16:07] genii: that command gives an error. cannot find report in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab === damien is now known as snouffy [16:07] trontonic: ok then? [16:07] hsn: then you can disable the repositories that causes trouble [16:07] eitreach: just: mount [16:08] trontonic: will that cause any problems? dont i need them? [16:08] hsn: like packages.medibuntu.org [16:08] what was the name of the nvidia graphics configuration menu? [16:08] ok obottu! :) [16:08] d--j, I'm not in debian at the moment, so not sure which is the latest kernel there. I'm running at present 2.6.26.6-79.fc9.i686 [16:08] hsn: then, after you have resolved your problems, you can add the repositories you should need in a better and error-free way [16:08] johnfg, are you having trouble to boot 8.10? do you have connected any usb device? [16:08] genii: /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,flush) [16:08] johnfg: fedora 9 ? [16:08] mike-burns: Okay. Then open synaptic for this next step. (You can do it from the command line too, I just don't remember the parameters and think it's safer this way.) [16:09] trontonic: so i disable it, but how do i resolve the problem? [16:09] terrestre, Yes, I have a usb dvd, a usb hd, keyboard, and I think that's it. [16:09] eitreach: Ah, vfat [16:09] hsn: it's only the repositories, it won't touch anything else on your system [16:09] What's up? [16:09] johnfg: try the desktop - see how you get on, I'd put a bet on it being the server kernel options [16:09] hsn: so, if you disable them, the problem will be resolved [16:09] d--j, And yes, i'm running F9. [16:09] genii: Should I format it otherwise before I change permissions? [16:09] johnfg: this is common in vbox due to how the virtual cpu is presented to vbox [16:09] trontonic: k will try [16:09] mike-burns: Once in Synaptic, find the package of the kernel you have, right-click and select "Mark for reinstall". Then click apply. [16:09] remoteCTR1, nvidia-settings [16:09] what can I use to bump up my monitor rez in 8.10? currently only have 800x600 options. [16:09] MnemonicPunk: Cool, reinstall. Great to know! [16:10] mike-burns: Don't remove it since that *may* take some other packages with it. [16:10] eitreach: If you will not be needing it on a Windows box or something requiring vfat as file system, best is to use ext2 or ext3 [16:10] ikonia, Remember I'm not running ubuntu-server in vbox. [16:10] johnfg no, but the problem is the same [16:10] Skry^: thanks i already thought i was going nut cos for some reason i cannot install that.. [16:10] genii: aye. I just may need it on Windows-boxes though. [16:10] mike-burns: This way you canbe sure you'll replace the files with the original ones. =) [16:10] trontonic: thanks, it's fixed [16:10] johnfg: the server kernel expects certain things from the cpu, due to what's enabled, hence why vbox causes an issue, and I'd expect the same from a legacy mobile laptop cpu [16:10] OK, I'll try desktop. Ciao, folks! [16:10] trontonic: have a nice day :) and thanks again [16:10] and now i know why, cos i have no ip-.- [16:11] eitreach: OK. I'll try to find some mount options for you, give me a minute [16:11] johnfg, if doesnt boot give a try disconnected some usb [16:11] hsn: see, here's how it works: if you have some strange software, say you had a proprietary graphics software called HsnPaint, then you might want people to download it from your repository. So, you would make for instance http://hsnpaint.com/repository/ubuntu/blabla. Then, since Ubuntu is a bit clever, anyone adding that repository also needs to have a key, to make it just a bit safer. So, for each repository, there is at least on [16:11] e line in /etc/apt/sources.list and also usually an key. It seems like you've got the repositories right, but not the key. [16:11] genii: of course. your help is much appreciated. [16:11] still odd to me that nothing else but ubuntu server, that I've tried, has the problem. [16:11] johnfg: maybe ubuntu had the balls to say "disable home laptop kit - as it shouldn't be used as a server2 [16:11] hsn: now that you've removed the lines from the repository, the missing key is not longer a problem [16:11] MnemonicPunk: How about additional modules I've built? Will those be removed? [16:12] MnemonicPunk: Also, apt-get install --reinstall [16:12] <_Messer> Hi, i have just intalled ubuntu 8.10. New kde4 looks nice, but i want to disable "switch desktop" effect... where can i do that? Cannot find in system settings... [16:12] hsn: so now you can trry adding both the repositories AND the key you want, in order to resolve the issue [16:12] Not gentoo, not fedora, not debian, not solaris. [16:12] mike-burns: Alright. ^^ I didn't remember the parameter. :D [16:12] johnfg well seeing as they don't provide a desktop and server release - that makes sense [16:12] trontonic: thanks, i did it and it's fixed :) [16:12] I want to select my monitor from a list before logon, I did it a few times before, but I don't know how to bring up the list... can anyone help? [16:12] mike-burns: Compiled-in modules? [16:13] ikonia, I know desktop will run alright, so have a great day, and I'll check back with you later. [16:13] johnfg: it's not really a "problem". The kernel is just build so to support pae (afaict). Just use the generic kernel instead of the server kernel [16:13] MnemonicPunk: When I built the new kernel, I added the ath5k module. [16:13] hsn: so now, if there should be some software you lack, you can visit that webpage and follow the instructions there, then remember to add both key and repo, and it'll be added properly [16:13] hsn: or just install the .deb-file, of course [16:13] jrib, How can I get that at server install? [16:13] :D [16:13] thx [16:13] hsn: as long as you get security updates, you aren't really missing anything [16:13] Question! Why when I boot up my laptop that has Intrepid on it, does the bar that in the beginning goes side to side, doesn't. I have to hit ESC to keep it moving. Nothing is errored in my boot log. Help? :'( [16:13] genii: brb, need to restart x [16:14] johnfg: do a minimal install and install whatever you want [16:14] jrib then why bother using the server install if you are not using the server kernel [16:14] hsn: :) [16:14] ikonia: exactly [16:14] jrib: I see your thinking though [16:14] What are the main differences between desktop kernel and server kernel? o.o [16:14] ikonia: the only issue with jumping to desktop is you get a bunch of gui stuff [16:14] MnemonicPunk: one is aimed at enterprise kit - the other aimed at home user hardware [16:14] Any ideas why I have to enable my 2nd monitor after every boot? It seems like my XServer settings are not being saved even though I'm clicking 'Save to X Config file' in the nvidia settings [16:14] jrib 30 seconds to remove [16:14] MnemonicPunk: Scheduler, mostly. [16:14] ikonia: true [16:15] MnemonicPunk: the scheduler, I think. I think the server-kernel tries to divide processing power as evenly as possible, while the desktop kernel tries to give a slight advantage to what the user is actually doing [16:15] !minimal | johnfg [16:15] mike-burns: Why would you want to compile a kernel for that? o.o Ubuntu kernel too old? [16:15] johnfg: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:15] johnfg: either way (desktop or minimal) is a viable solution [16:15] trontonic: Oh, okay. [16:15] <_Messer> any ideas with this switch desktop effect..? [16:15] MnemonicPunk: Wireless doesn't work, so I threw everything at it, including building a fresh kernel. [16:16] So the server kernel will be better with many tasks that require less power and the desktop kernel is more for bigger, resource intensive tasks? [16:16] MnemonicPunk: no [16:16] Hm. [16:16] MnemonicPunk: why would a server kernel be better at things that require less resoruces ? servers / enterprise kit is Bigger than desktop [16:17] genii: back. [16:17] Hm. Makes sense. [16:17] xD [16:19] !@#$ crashing with old kernels now too - probably related to the power outtage. [16:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:19] must've caused some disc damage. [16:19] now to figure out WTF is happening :( [16:19] !wtf > nemo [16:19] nemo, please see my private message [16:20] ikonia: ok. that's absurd. I'm fully aware freenode is family friendly. in fact, I choose my speech for that reason [16:20] nemo: if your aware - please don't do it [16:20] Question! Why when I boot up my laptop that has Intrepid on it, does the bar that in the beginning goes side to side, doesn't. I have to hit ESC to keep it moving. Nothing is errored in my boot log. Help? :'( [16:20] ikonia: in order to know what that !@#$ accronym means, you'd have to, well, know what it means [16:20] has anyone else found a fix for the 8.10 audio problem that seems rampant? [16:20] ikonia: i.e. - you're being foolish [16:20] nemo: those are the channel policy [16:20] ikonia: I'm expressing my anger in a family friendly way [16:20] nemo: this is not up for discussion in here, please accept the rules [16:22] ciao [16:22] Question! Why when I boot up my laptop that has Intrepid on it, does the bar that in the beginning goes side to side, doesn't. I have to hit ESC to keep it moving. Nothing is errored in my boot log. Help? :'( [16:24] Any idea which package installed /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic ? [16:24] sapete dirmi come installare geforce 9600 gt [16:24] My webcam works in cheese, but in skype, it's green and some weird images.

[16:25] Do you have the headphone mute issue also dfgas [16:26] grazie ... ubottu [16:26] Hiya, I kinda need help with this Ubuntu setup.. I've upgraded this install to 8.10 from 8.04LTS.. somehow the "Properitary hardware driver" setup/activation program is not working. It's not activating the 173-version of the nvidia module. Nothing happends after it's "tried" to activate it. [16:26] no, one thing using sound and that it, nothing else [16:26] sven_, what video card are you running [16:27] Hello - What would be the easiest application to use that I could change the size of a Wallpaper/Desktop I like - It is cut-of at the top & bottom and would like to change it to fit my desktop ? ? [16:27] nite_johnboy_, gimp [16:27] nikitis, I believe it's an GeForce FX 5200 [16:27] sven_: Do updates first. [16:28] DaemonLee, there aren't any upgrades available [16:28] sven_, may be time to upgrade [16:28] <|chiz|_> sven_: I had trouble with that card too [16:28] nikitis, maybe.. but it should still work dude :| [16:28] I'm getting no audio whatsoever [16:28] sven_, lots of people are having trouble upgrading them [16:28] nikitis: Thanks - will that be pretty straight forward to do or a little learning cure? [16:28] sven_: do sudo apt-get update and then do updates. [16:28] <|chiz|_> sven_: I just had to install the package nvidia-glx-173 [16:28] |chiz|_, have you resolve the issue with it? [16:28] That's how I fixed it. [16:28] But, I installed 177 [16:28] how can I see info on the running processes? [16:28] <|chiz|_> sven_: then my old xorg.conf worked [16:28] |chiz|_, DaemonLee: Alright - i'll try that then ;) [16:29] in the terminal type "ps -A" [16:29] thx [16:29] devoda: that didn't show me much [16:29] nite_johnboy_, just open up the background in gimp, in the file menu of the image, select Image=> scale image and play around. [16:29] could anyone recomend a good Newsreader similar to Forte's News Agent? [16:29] apelgate: it will show you the name of the process, but not an explanation [16:30] Kaigeos: I use pan or google's news reader [16:30] sven_, do you know how to manually install them? [16:30] Hello friends..I need a sincere help..I want to write a C program to divert the network traffic through my program. I must receive the data, which i'll process and reinject into the normal networking stack. [16:30] kk [16:30] Is this possible..? [16:30] is there anyway to backup installed packages and use it later, I should mention that I just have access to console mode [16:30] nikitis, yeah, sure. I'm a pretty experianced user actually. just not all too keen on the ubuntu upgrade fuss :) [16:30] apelgate, go to System > Administration > System Monitor, then click on the processes tab. That might be easier for you. [16:30] nikitis, Thanks much - does not sound to bad - have used adobe photoshop 7 in windows a few years back - thanks for tip/info. [16:30] thanks for your help nikitis, |chiz|_ and DaemonLee :p [16:31] <_Messer> Ok, again... How to disable "switch desktop effect" in KDE4 in new Kubuntu? This effect is horrible... :S [16:31] sven_, yeah i only said that because people haven't been able to get 5200's to work very well, and it is an old card. NVIDIA is stopping support with the 17x series i believe [16:31] sven_: It works now? [16:31] I've killed pulseaudio, and set everything to use alsa, but it doesn't seem to be helping [16:31] I'm upgrading some packages and installing nvidia-glx-173, I'll see in a moment [16:32] <|chiz|_> nikitis: yes it isn't supported anymore but if you use the old 173 driver it works fine [16:32] nikitis, yeah, I figured [16:32] |chiz|_, yes, but does ibex support 173 is my question [16:32] |chiz|_, i believe it does [16:32] the hardware driver properitary thingie majingy is suggesting glx-173.. [16:32] it just fails for some reason [16:32] <|chiz|_> nikitis: for sure [16:33] sven_, just do a manual install and accept the auto nvidia-xconfig option during manual install [16:33] I wouldn't understand why it wouldn't "support" it [16:33] nikitis, yeah, I'm doing that now :) [16:33] sven_, just issues with some new graphical features is all [16:33] oh, lookie. apt-get upgrade is already doing that for me [16:33] * sven_ pats apt-get in the back [16:33] can someone tell why files whice i've copied from a DVD/CD/USB-stick (such as Mp3, patterns for gimp and so on) are not possible for me to access? [16:33] sven_, new verison of xorg === rNhxYA_r is now known as LjL [16:33] there, now it's installed! hooray. time for a xorg re"boot" [16:34] nikitis, ah, alright then [16:34] hey guys is anyone reporting metacity not starting after boot/ I have to alays do metacity --replace to get it up and running on firt boot? [16:34] I might be right back. restarting X ;) [16:34] sven_, let us know [16:34] anyone? [16:34] HDready: You probably don't have the permissions set to be able to access those files. [16:34] dp_, make sure your not running gnome-screensaver [16:34] dp_, ps ax [16:34] A few days ago, my computer running winXP with the system on a 200GB ide drive collapsed. Today I tried to install ubuntu on this hd on an pretty old computer. A asus AV7333 motherboard. The isntallation went smooth, but when I removed the installation CD and tried to reboot, I got GRUB error 18. [16:35] dp_, ps ax | grep gnome-screensaver [16:35] hey, i'm using xubuntu hardy and don't get an 'upgrade to intrepid' option in update manager (set release upgrade to "normal releases") - any ideas? [16:35] Could it be that my HD is physically damaged? Or is it more likly the problem is elsewhere? [16:35] devoda: I don't have xorg installed on this computer, top isn't giving me enough info and ps isn't listing java processes [16:35] Hello #ubuntu, i installed the defualt Ubuntu 8.10 and enabled and installed the 'simple-ccsm' and ran the manager but it seems that it still isnt installed, as the manager does pop up, but the system will still not use the effects [16:35] nikitis: I was. I've killed it [16:35] dp_, try sound now [16:35] still no audio [16:36] dp_, hmm,, don't know then [16:36] Ginger_: Go to Settings -> Appearance -> Visual Effects and set it to "Custom" if you haven't done that yet. =) [16:36] Sajuta: yes i think so.. but how to explain... ok... i access the DVD through nautilus and copy them into my /home dir so why can tuse them? [16:36] dp_, that always did it for me. do you have onboard sound? [16:36] MnemonicPunk: its greatly appreciated and i will be doing that now. [16:36] nikitis: I do [16:37] anybody have any ideas on how I can troubleshoot my audio suddenly not working after a kernel update? [16:37] Just upgraded one computer to 8.10 and now cannot get networking set up. What gives? [16:37] anyone know how to convert a .sparseimage to .iso under ubuntu? [16:37] dp_, try killall -9 esd [16:37] no esd running [16:38] dp_, did you compile alsa drivers manually? [16:38] nope [16:38] this worked fine in hardy [16:38] i am trying to reformat a flash drive, using gparted, when i try to reformat i get an error, can anyone tell me how to fix this? [16:39] alec, what is the error? [16:39] nikitis: didn't get here for the beginning of the other user's issue, but it seems you have some audio knowledge? [16:39] the details are telling me that the file system is read only [16:39] did you unmount the device before partitioning it? [16:39] MNemonicPunk: it gives me the error "System error: Failed to lock var/cache/apt/archives/lock" when changing it to custom [16:40] dp_, new kernel, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download get the alsa-driver, alsa-lib, and alsa-utils, and do a .configure, make, sudo make install on all three of those, reboot and then pray. [16:40] lol [16:40] Ginger_: Do you still have Synaptic or some other apt tool running? [16:40] koruptid, a little, but not much [16:40] chillitom: yes i believe so, i hit unmount from the desktop icon [16:40] hey [16:40] snaptic, let me check that out. [16:41] nikitis, ah... my audio has decided to stop working after a kernel update.... starting to get rather pissed [16:41] chillitom: the error says, error occured while applying operations [16:41] alec, what command are you using to format it? what does "mount" show? anything weird in dmsg? [16:41] how do i use samba? [16:41] koruptid, hda-intel? [16:41] nikitis, aye [16:41] koruptid, follow instructions above ^^ [16:41] chillitom: oh i dont know, im not using terminal to format, i dont know enough about it [16:41] I'd like to use code::blocks on a computer but I've got no right on it , I can't use any sudo thing. Is there a way to run it from an USB key or whatever ? do you have any idea ? The computer is running Ubuntu 64 bits, pretty recent version but I've got no idea which one exactly [16:42] http://rybak.labrute.fr [16:42] cs ??? [16:42] what is the difference between 32bit and 64bit version? [16:42] unfortunately ubuntu's support for HDA-Intel by default is lackluster at best. You'll need to recompile every kernel update [16:42] nikitis, will the compile script on ubuntuforums perform the same operations? [16:42] |chiz|_, nikitis, DaemonLee: alright - that didn't help actually. I got nvidia-glx-173 installed but it simply refuses to use it. I guess Xorg doesn't want the module...

[16:44] <|chiz|_> sven_: well that may or may not be the issue [16:44] koruptid, i agree, many people have hda-intel, but as you should know, ubuntu's sound system needs serious overhauling, possibly the worst part about ubuntu, that and webcam support [16:44] http://rybak.labrute.fr [16:45] how will a toshiba laptop take xubuntu, anyone know?

But usually you nned admin permissions to obtain a lock on the apt directory. You can try 'gksudo gnome-appearance-properties' and then change the setting. This will change the setting with admin privileges and should fix the bug. [16:45] *problem [16:45] xD [16:45] how do i make an encrypted folder on 8.10 thought you were able to do that?

[16:46] bazhang, that's what i told them to do basically [16:46] bazhang, i got mine working, [16:47] nikitis, nice [16:47] nikitis, it is very disappointing.... I like the debian packaging systems, but these audio problems may yet drive me to Fedora (rpm = fail) [16:47] koruptid, yeah, kinda unbelievable that intrepid was even released in this state, it's like, um, betaish. [16:47] what is the difference between 32bit and 64bit version? is it like windows (if I want all my program working I must use 32bit version or all 32bit version work fine on 64bit version on ubuntu?) [16:47] koruptid, rpm isn't a bad system. But there are 10's of thousands more packages for debian. [16:48] Skry^, audio seems more like an alpha... and I've alpha tested and beta tested plenty of software to know the difference [16:48] M4d3L, 64-bits should work fine. [16:48] any help with dhcp on 8.10? [16:48] thank you mnemonicpunk, i am diong that now [16:48] On 64-bit Windows, you can use 32-bit software just fine. [16:48] koruptid, sound works ok if you buy non-onboard sound cards. You get what you pay for [16:48] what is the easiest way to get ubuntu ISO to boot from an usb stick?

[16:49] |chiz|_, alright. that didn't help.. I did read the start-up console.. seems like "setting DKMS auto bla for kernel 2.6.25* [fail]" though [16:49] espacious_, get a net install mini.iso or if you have 1gb stick or higher, google unetbootin [16:50] koruptid, i agree. it's like integrated intel hda is kinda rare so no proper support ;P === DRNK-E is now known as poi [16:50] <|chiz|_> sven_: I thought you were using unbuntu 8.10 [16:50] |chiz|_, I *am*. === poi is now known as DRNK-E [16:50] i get this AMD Atlhon XP 3200+ (barton 512 k) cache and it is recognize in ubuntu has AMD duron and only with 64 k cache?

I found the problem.... they didn't even bother to build the ko for hda-intel for the latest kernel build.... WTF? [16:51] |chiz|_, I have no idea. I did see an upgrade to .27.. recently.. :| [16:51] koruptid, they didn't in hardy either, it's an old card btw [16:52] <|chiz|_> sven_: make sure that /etc/apt/sources.list has intrepid in it [16:52] koruptid, hardware manufacturerers have been putting hda-intel in newer boards too because it works well with windows. [16:52] |chiz|_, I am on 8.10 according to lsb_release -a atleast.. [16:52] Skry^, before we get op'd for "off topic" I'm just gonna say this: intel hda is in nearly every Inspiron notebook in existence [16:52] |chiz|_, it is in the sources.. everything else is upgraded to interpid..

Using Ibex [16:52] <|chiz|_> sven_: then make sure your packages are up to date with aptitude update and dist-upgrade [16:53] koruptid, i have hda-intel in my desktop lol, And sigmatel's are in most inspirons [16:53] |chiz|_, It is up to date! :o [16:53] |chiz|_, for some reason it just hasn't upgraded to the latest kernel... [16:53] sven_: Install the package linux-image-generic [16:53] dpkg: tell Ertyle about root [16:53] nikitis, which leads to questioning Ubuntu's sanity in allowing hda-intel support to be so poor when they are effectively screwing over a potentially HUGE number of adopters [16:54] Pici, alright! [16:54] koruptid, agreed, i've been saying that for nearly a year now. [16:54] legend2440: yes [16:54] pici: should I reinstall/reconfigure any X/linux-modules/restricted-modules? [16:54] I'm trying to update my system, but I keep getting this error when I hit sudo apt-get update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/67978/ [16:54] nikitis: tryin that. thank you [16:55] gparted isn't reading my (unmounted but plugged in) uSD card... any help? [16:55] koruptid, my hda-intel is is 3 years old. [16:55] koruptid, yeah i know, insert sarcasm. But, could it be that hda-intel ko is moved to that modules backport like they did with ath5k? [16:55] sven_: You shouldn't have to. If you already have the packages installed then the kernel will pull them in as needed. [16:55] HDready: right click one of the files you can't access and choose properties>permissions does it say rot for owner and group? [16:55] root [16:55] themill: wrong bot!

[17:01] prince_jammys: HDready is copying files from a cd to ubuntu and the files all end up having root permissions. any way to copy them and have them have user permissions when they reach hard drive? [17:01] Skry^: what's the gain for those who use gentoo ? [17:01] <[t0rc]> I'm using 8.10 Live CD and trying to install to a flash drive for the persistent OS feature. It runs however when I reboot from the USB drive, it simply says: GRUB _ and the cursor flashes indefinitely. [17:01] eitreach: Apologies on lag, work required me for an extended period. You will want some /etc/fstab entry like: /dev/sdb1 /media/disk vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0 [17:01] hey guys, can anyone tell me if they have a gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L motherboard working with ubuntu? (e.g. graphics, audio sata) [17:01] Skry^, funny thing is that I decided to use ubuntu to *avoid* having to compile my own shit [17:01] Neaai, fdisk -l doesn't show anything about the memory card [17:01] either that or does onboard intel GMA3100 graphics work in intrepid? [17:01] i am haveing a problem when Ubuntu resumes from suspend, it just keeps acessing the disk and bogging down the system, i waited 20 minutes to regain responsiveness but nothing, so I forced the laptop to shutdown :(, then ubuntu wouldn't boot, so I forced it to shut down three more times during the boot process, the fourth time it finally booted normally [17:01] My firefox and epiphany browsers crash *every* time when I want to display java applets [17:01] that's kinda annoying [17:02] I think PAN will be just great... I thought my provider supplied newsgroups but they don't.. anyone know of any free newsgroups? [17:02] Neaai, freely being a masochist, not forced to. [17:02] <[t0rc]> On another flash drive, the installer works, but when I reboot, i get the boot: prompt and it says it can't find linux kernel. [17:02] hello! i want to copy a folder with icons to /usr/share/icons. but i cannot, permission is denied. how can i do that? [17:02] break_free: did you try to specify the device? fdisk -l /dev/devicename ? [17:02] legend2440: hm. maybe cp -a [17:02] Skry^: hehehe. Good point :) [17:02] and this has only happened since my intrepid update (I really regret that...) [17:03] leonard_pop: You need admin privileges to copy things into that directory.

[17:03] !gksu [17:03] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [17:03] koruptid, same here. and so far ubuntu has been quite succesful in that but intrepid has apparently changed the situation.

[17:04] leonard_pop, sudo cp -r /usr/share/icons /location/you/want/to/copy [17:04] [t0rc], have you ever had that drive be a bootable device? [17:04] Neaai, ok, so there are two paritions on it, one is 8mb and the other fills the rest. But it says they don't contain valid partition tables [17:04] Kaigeos: you can symlink the actual device of the usb floppydisk to a link named /dev/fd0 [17:05] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: did you have any issues with it? Both my drives, different brands, are giving me peculiar errors. Was yours 32bit/64bit? [17:05] [t0rc], some brand thumbdrives dont boot very well, or at all. as an alternative you could try that 'unetbootin' tool to make a bootable ubuntu thumb drive [17:05] thanks Neaai didn't even think of that.. [17:05] Skry^, I feel like I just got screwed with my pants on [17:05] break_free: You could try erase those present and then recreate them as you wish [17:05] [t0rc], 64bit. and the livecd/thumbdrive both failed to set up the proper video card drivers. it used vesa instead of 'nv' in my case. but it did work [17:05] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: I've used it as a bootable drive before, for another linux distro and it worked fine. [17:05] Neaai, how do I do that via command line? [17:06] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: Would the unetbootin still give me a persistent setup? or just a livecd? [17:06] [t0rc], sounds like the insatller just messed up grub. [17:06] break_free: you issue fdisk /dev/devicename and there press "m" to get a description of your options. [17:06] ubuntu unresponsive after resume from suspend, please help [17:07] genii: no worries, and thanks. :) [17:07] [t0rc], ubnetbootin is not persistant.. im not even sure what the persistant feature means.. from what read it has some sort of storage space on the thumbdrive.. but i am not sure what all it saves. It may just save your home, and not any installed apps or stuff [17:07] genii: I have tried formatting it to ext3, but it seems to fail every time. Do you know what could be wrong? [17:07] Neeai, thanks [17:07] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: you can actually set it up to do system wide changes, so it would save pretty much everything to an image on the drive. [17:07] Does linux have a util like 'filecomp' in windows? [17:07] sysdoc: meld [17:07] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: perhaps I'll re-burn the 32bit version to a cd and try it again [17:08] elTigre: thanks [17:08] [t0rc], the 64bit did work here. It would be LOVELY if i could get it to rember/use the nvidia drivers [17:08] [t0rc], i guess i will try that later.. I wonder how it handes a apt-get update/upgrade ;) [17:08] ghhh98h [17:08] [t0rc], just saw this guide also http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/15/ubuntu-810-persistent-flash-drive-install-from-live-cd/ [17:09] i have a "media" where i cannot copy to because its root and not richard, how do i change that of permissions? [17:09] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: I believe the xorg.conf is something you can't save changes to, because it would prevent it from working correctly with other systems. [17:09] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: yeah, thats saying to use the included installer instead though [17:09] [t0rc], i dont need it working with OTHERS :) i need it working properly with this one, heh. using vesa driver sort of sucks.. I imagine once it got the nvidia drivers installed it would start using them [17:10] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: true but I'm unsure of whether it would save them or not to the drive. You should try it out. :) [17:10] [t0rc], i tend to use PuppyLinux for my Livetumbdrives. :) but i may try this some more later [17:10] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: it may save them to the drive and then every time you boot you may have to select them every boot, but you could script that almost certainly if it is the case. [17:10] Richard_: is that a ntfs partition ? [17:10] ssh root@zerina.de [17:10] Enter passphrase for key '/home/daniel/.ssh/id_rsa': [17:10] Permission denied (publickey).

[17:11] [t0rc], except when you install the nvidia drivers..it wants you to reboot to use them.. :) catch 22 [17:11] eitreach: usually first you would want to change the partition type first to 83 , and then after that use: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 or so. Also cannot be mounted when you do this [17:11] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: haha, indeed. [17:12] genii: thanks. I'll try that. [17:12] [t0rc], somthing to explore at least. Its annoying that the older releases did see/get the res/driver right and 8.10 uses vesa instead of nv for me [17:12] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: that is frustrating [17:12] <[t0rc]> dr_willis: these drives are annoying me as well hehe [17:12] what is a good addressbook with backup ? [17:12] [t0rc], once i Install - it then does use nv at least. :) I think.. i did isntall the nvidia drivers propperly at least [17:12] how can I run 32 bit apps on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit?

[17:19] Richard_, considering your "media" to be ext3,if you just want to copy and keep permissions, just use sudo cp instead of just cp.

[17:31] no [17:31] not even close [17:31] oh ok [17:31] I have a problem with my web server. I have a port forward account to forward internal ip to my public ip through port 40. this worked fine in Hardy just by adding port 40 to the ports.conf file in apache2 folder. but doesn't work in Ibex any ideas? [17:31] raid 10 or 1+0 is raid 1 + raid 0 [17:32] ok... [17:32] bjb1959: neither connecting on localhost:40 ?

[17:32] thanks for the link Mojo [17:33] how do I mount wubi's .disk files on windows? [17:33] yty: raid 5 is raid 4 with distributed parity [17:33] carlsonwf, I can use my public ip and localhost from my machine fine but not outside. my router is set properly and using the public ip from my machine goes through that router as well and works but not from the outside [17:34] so RAID 5 have advantages of raid 0 , raid 1 with redundancy ...? [17:34] raid 4 is raid 0 + a parity disk [17:34] Hi all, does anyone know how to fix this laptop hd problem with ubuntu? with load cycle count increasing dramatically? [17:34] Is there an ubuntu channel that might specalize in if-interfaces? [17:34] yty: sort of [17:34] but from what i have read , raid 5 is the frequently used in enterprise systems ... right ? [17:34] yty: raid 0 gives you speed, but 1 disk dies you lose everything [17:35] yea no redundancu [17:35] !ping me [17:35] * ]K[^Omegadoom Ping me Could not be resolved to an IP address [17:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about ping me [17:35] !ping dataflow [17:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about ping dataflow [17:35] yty: raid 1 gives you redundancy, (and in some cases of reads, some speed) but takes up twice the disk (100% overhead) [17:35] osiris_, i dident realize it was an issue any more.. not that it was much of an issue befor.. there are a lot of docs out on 'fixing' it if you had the proboem.. Basically you use hdparm to disable pwoersaveing feature on the HD. [17:36] yty: raid 4 has a 1 disk overhead, but gives you 1 disk redundancy [17:36] yty: you can lose 1 drive and live [17:36] yty: but with raid 4 the partity disk becomes a bottleneck [17:36] ok Mojo .. yea since RAID 1 mirrors , more space [17:36] yty: and there's overhead in calculating the partity [17:36] dr_willis: My hd is ticking like a clock heh. [17:37] yty: raid 5 spreads the parity across all disks, so removes the bottleneck [17:37] osiris_, some hd makers even had bios updates for their HD's [17:37] does via work with 8.10? [17:37] yty: also has an overhead of one drive's worth of space [17:37] carlsonwf, I can ping both 72.196.6.129 and bartburroughs.hopto.org from my machine but it times out from outside. any ideas? [17:37] ok Mojo [17:37] yty: and has overhead of calculating parity [17:37] dr_willis: I have applied all updates so no idea. [17:37] yty: fastest is 1+0 [17:37] yty: thats a mirrored strip set [17:38] Anyone in here ever used one of those Drobos external raid devices? [17:38] yty: so you make a raid 0 volume...then you mirror that [17:38] Question! Why when I boot up my laptop that has Intrepid on it, does the bar that in the beginning goes side to side, doesn't. I have to hit ESC to keep it moving. Nothing is errored in my boot log. Help? :'( [17:38] anyone know why you've dropped VIA [17:38] hi [17:38] WHAT DID VIA DO WRONG?

Not ubuntu updates.. the fix i recall was basicially 'hdparm -b 255' to disable the powersaveing [17:39] need help with driver ati ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 en ubuntu [17:39] yty: i don't think you can do 1+0 with just software raid [17:39] i need help with VIA [17:39] oh ok [17:39] yty: at least you didn't used to be able to [17:39] but that aint happening either === QAWAYO is now known as qowao [17:39] i can only try software RAID now Mojo [17:39] yty: oh, and raid 6 is double parity, so you can lose 2 drives rather than 1 [17:40] dr_willis: Yeah i meant i have flashed my laptop with all new updates bios etc, also turning setting hdparm to 255 could do more damage than the problem itself. [17:40] does anyone know if an avi stores any header data at the tail? (ie if the end is chopped off, is the rest salvageable?) === Out_Cold is now known as Mr_Fixit [17:40] what are the wubi .disk files?

[18:02] chadeldridge, yes but my ipod is formated in hfs+ so I need to force rw somehow [18:02] chadeldridge, dmesg says write access to a journaled filesystem is not supported, use the force option at your own risk, mounting read-only. [18:02] to be exact, my prob is that altgr does not work with xmodmap [18:03] How can I find out my default runlevel? "egrep :initdefault: /etc/inittab" command does not work for me [18:03] hi channel [18:03] pyrophelia: i wont even ask why hfs, but you can do that pretty easy through fstab i would assume [18:03] NicEXE: I just boot up, hit a command prompt and type runlevel!

I am right if I suppose they should be detected as just ONE device (like "/dev/sda") and not as FOUR different devices (sda, sdb, sdc, sdd)? (please note that I said hardware controlled array) [18:29] core_: well state the nature of your problem and perhaps someone can help you [18:30] Santolina, is it a fakeRAID (like an onboard controller)?

[18:30] Foodcoman: hd 2400 fine here [18:30] i dont know which one i should install [18:30] Wipster: there is no way, however have you made sure that the PCM slider (which is the volume control for digitally generated sound) is set high, as well as the master volume? [18:31] er permission denied once I try to copy the files over. both folders source & destination have been shared [18:31] Welshman, you're not making very much sense... i'd rather you stuck to ubuntu support topics [18:31] when you transfer files across the network are you using SMB or NFS? [18:31] xit [18:31] exit [18:31] Help! My Desktop is gone...

Reboot no X environment. Reboot in windows/ video card is not detected by HAL. Reboot Is detected by driver, then reboot back into 8.10 is fine. [18:32] Frijolie: to make it easy, install ssh, and use that when you connect up. [18:32] LjL, i am installing nvidia-glx-177 for geforcce 8400 gs.. is it ok? [18:32] rconan_ I really don't know. It is supposed not to be fake, as I told the seller to install me a hardware-controlled RAID ... I am trying to discover if he is trying to "fake" me with a fakeRAID ... since my linux live rescue cd detects them as 4 different devices === ricky_ is now known as Guest79509 [18:32] DouglasK: but that's all CLI, I would like something GUI [18:33] Welshman: Once I boot 8.10, I cannot reboot directly back into it without booting windows first like it resets the mode/status of the Video card. === elex_ is now known as elex [18:33] Foodcoman: its a wonder they have fglrw working with xorg 7.4 [18:33] m [18:33] its not supported by ati [18:33] I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless router since I upgraded to another router. All other devices can connect fine, even using the same settings. Ubunutu shows it but wont connect. Any suggestions? [18:33] *fglrx I mean [18:33] Works great once in. Other than video playback, messed up. [18:33] core_: not sure, i'm still on Hardy [18:33] Santolina, do you have a dedicated RAID card or is it installed on the motherboard? [18:33] I just had to replace my board/chip and now I have no sound...it's a new onboard soundcard...how to I get linux to see/recognize it? [18:34] Foodcoman: its to do with xorg 7.4 [18:34] Frijolie: once it's installed, you can use it via da [18:34] LjL, oh ok hanks [18:34] how can i split the output of tail -f, so that it is directed to standard output and at the same time to a log file? [18:34] be thankful for small blessings [18:34] Welshman: I will wait for them.... Loving the distro. [18:34] Frijolie: once it's installed, you can use it via Places, connect to server [18:34] I dont use desktop effects really [18:34] just minimal [18:34] elementz: man tee [18:34] nice to know they work though [18:34] DouglasK: I've got ssh installed, how to I connect? Sorry I'm not familiar with SSH [18:34] Question: is Ubuntu more resource intensive then XP Pro? I feel like Ubuntu lags a bit more often then XP would (however in my opinion this rythem music box is incredibly resource intensive, for a freakin music player) [18:34] gkahla: thx [18:35] Hi, i managed to share my internet connection with my 360 with firestarter but if im downloading things on my computer, i lag on xbox live. Could anyone please help me configure the quality of service (QoS) so that all the connections going to and from my xbox 360 (it always has the same ip and is always connected to the same network interface card) get the highest priority? thanks [18:35] elementz: it forks things along 2 streams [18:35] Ok, now from the other machine, goto Places, Connect To Server, set the protocol to SSH, put in your username on the remote machine, and you're good to go. [18:35] Dominik: it's very hard to quantify "resource intensiveness" in a general way. [18:35] anyone else have problems with joysticks in intrepid? under hardy, once I'd downgraded wine to 1.1.3, I even had windows games work fine, joystick and all. now, not so much...but my joypad moves the mouse pointer around :-> [18:35] Welshman: Thanks mate. [18:36] gkahla: so i would to it like this: vmstat | tee -a log.txt ? [18:36] :) [18:36] is seahorse supposed to be a password manager (like KeePassX or Revelation)? or am i misunderstanding it's purpose? [18:36] thanks to bunt heh [18:36] they just need to keep up a bit lol [18:36] LjL: 1. I belive the rythem music player takes too much CPU time, 2. and what the hell is up with the resource monitor? it eats 44% of my cpu time (granted it is 800 Mhz, but windows task manager would never do that) [18:36] regeya: heard about that before [18:36] regeya: i'll see if i can dig up the bug report [18:36] Anyone know why I can only see the contents of my Desktop in Nautilus and not where it should show up? [18:37] elementz: looks right - your output should show up on stdout and in log.txt [18:37] Welshman: This Lenovo Thinkpad W500 really new. Im pleased with how well it does work so far out of the box. Best experience I have had so far. [18:37] Hi, i managed to share my internet connection with my 360 with firestarter but if im downloading things on my computer, i lag on xbox live. Could anyone please help me configure the quality of service (QoS) so that all the connections going to and from my xbox 360 (it always has the same ip and is always connected to the same network interface card) get the highest priority? thanks [18:37] LjL: Cool, thanks! I'd looked a bit last night (been hectic here of late) but you probably know more what to look for [18:37] gkahla: great tx [18:37] LjL: so in other words is there a resource monitor alternative that uses no noticable amount of CPU time so that I can have it running constantly in a corner of the screen [18:37] I had a hp zv5000 a while ago [18:37] when i mount a usb drive, permissions are only set for root. what do i need to do in order to automatically have permissions of mounted directories [18:38] Hi I'm having trouble installing 8.10 (ADM64) I keep getting a CRC error after i leave the load menu [18:38] rconan_ I think there should be a card since it comes with a manual for an "Adaptec Serial ATA RAID controller" (1210SA) [18:38] Foodcoman: next is an acer gemstone, they look cool [18:38] hope bunt installs on it [18:38] Dominik: the system monitor does take up a lot of CPU [18:38] any free software on windows to burn my ubuntu Iso image? [18:38] Welshman: Just a couple audio things and the video problem, but mostly great. [18:38] usual linux stuff [18:39] kanoth: try a fresh download..yours sounds corrupt. [18:39] LjL: yes, so is there an alternative that does not? sorry if I miss expressed myself earlier [18:39] hi all, i need some help with fixing nfs, the mount becomes stale after several hours [18:39] ok [18:39] regeya: the joystick moves the mouse around? can you paste the output of 'lshal' for me somewhere? === nikolas_ is now known as Assurbanipal [18:39] geez thzy dont have the budget like windows and mac :) [18:39] Dominik, depends what you want to monitor, for instance if you want to have graphs for CPU, RAM and I/O you can simply install the multiload monitor panel applet and put it on your panel [18:39] . [18:39] hi [18:39] LjL: sounds great how would I do that? [18:39] can tell me somebody how can i extract a zip file with password protect [18:39] Can anyone tell me how to fix my sound? New board - no sound...dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source tells me alsa isn't installed [18:39] HELP [18:39] Dominik, "top" is certainly less resource intensive, but also a bit less user friently ;) [18:40] Welshman: I hope Canonical can get profitable. I Love Kubuntu/Ubuntu. [18:40] knoppix: enter the password [18:40] rconan_ this is a new computer, and I am so new to both RAID and Linux ... but I want to be sure the RAID is actually hardware controlled (it is working on Win XP but they sold me an already installed system so I wonder if it is really hardware or software controlled RAID) [18:40] Santolina, that's a fakeRAID card [18:40] welshman: lol [18:40] PastorBones: have you tried 'alsaconfig' from the command line? [18:40] Foodcoman: try xubuntu too, well cool blue [18:40] Santolina, you would have to install dmraid [18:41] command not found [18:41] LjL: i have had two days on Ubuntu, so youll have to tell me exactly how to install it, I figure itll go something like sudo apt-get install [18:41] zetharx: hackers heh [18:41] How do I find out what was updated in the kernel update? === Jens is now known as Guest47321 [18:41] how to change from kdm to GDM display management for logon window [18:42] thank you rconan_ ... what would actually be an example of a not-fake RAID? I guess I should claim to the seller because of this [18:42] Dominik: did you burn it to CD [18:42] Welshman: Lighter desktop xubuntu right? Have played little in past. [18:42] Hi how do i give one user access to another users files? [18:42] runpain2_: I never mix the 2 [18:42] i just bought and Samsung NC10 and installed Ubuntu, now i actiavated backports and now i have 2 active wlan hardware drivers in the hardware drivers gui utility, but iwconfig still says "no wireless extension", what can i do? [18:42] kanoth: ha what? ubuntu? yes [18:42] does anyone know how to enter roaming mode in ubuntu 8.10? like the terminal code or something? [18:42] Dominik: just right click on your panel and do "Add applet", then look for "System monitor". an alternative to that is the package "hardware-monitor" [18:42] Foodcoman: if you have a nice pc the lighter stuff does not matter [18:43] can i change them though is what i asked [18:43] Foodcoman: for me the DE in xubuntu is a bit small [18:43] Santolina: unless you 'bought' a raid card, it's fake raid. [18:43] Anyone know if Quadro cards are supported in Ubuntu? [18:43] Dominik: i suggest that you then go to the preferences and make it update a little less often than the default 500ms, otherwise it'll still take up perhaps a bit too much CPU [18:43] Welshman: Dual core 2.8, 4 gig and 7200 rpm 160 gig laptop. Does well. [18:43] porter1: they are :) [18:43] Foodcoman: nice change though [18:43] Hi, i managed to share my internet connection with my 360 with firestarter but if im downloading things on my computer, i lag on xbox live. Could anyone please help me configure the quality of service (QoS) so that all the connections going to and from my xbox 360 (it always has the same ip and is always connected to the same network interface card) get the highest priority? thanks [18:43] The most recent Quadros as well? [18:44] is here someone with an Samsung NC10 and wlan experience? [18:44] LjL: even at 3 sec update I still found it to take too much cpu time, the difference of activly monitoring it and not is 20% cpu load (at 3 sec update) [18:44] if I'm downloading a torrent and a file is completed I double click it and rythembox opens up to play it but doesn;t actualy start playing it I have to double click again to actualy play it [18:44] Foodcoman: no problem with any DE your pc :) [18:44] Santolina, I don't know, but that is definitely fakeRAID [18:44] porter1: not sure about that check nvidias homepage [18:44] how can I stop that? [18:44] Welshman, [18:44] Jeruvy I said the computer I bought comes with a manual for an "Adaptec Serial ATA RAID controller" (1210SA) [18:44] does anyone know how to enter roaming mode in ubuntu 8.10? like the terminal code or something? [18:44] Dominik: but i'm not talking about the system monitor, i'm talking about the system monitor *applet*. it's not the same animal. [18:44] can i do that [18:44] Hi how do i give one user access to another users files? === Guest47321 is now known as JCA-Denmark [18:44] runpain2_: looking [18:45] i don't get it [18:45] runpain2_: sure [18:45] Guest, change the folder permissions for that person [18:45] . [18:45] the network filesystem is working for a couple of hours, then it stops and i can't mount it anymore untill i reboot the system [18:45] Ok rconan_ but ... a not-fake RAID of 4 disk could be detected as a single device? I mean, just /dev/sda insteda of 4 different devices [18:45] HEY IS HERE A CRACKER? [18:45] Guest47321, to change file permissions you can use the chmod command, example: sudo chmod -R 754 directory/ [18:45] runpain2_: you just have to change a conf file [18:45] all other network traffic is fine: nis, ssh, ping, nat [18:46] i have a flash drive that i cant reformat, the error message says that the files are read only, is there a way i can wipe this and reformat? i have thied mounting and unmounting the drive. [18:46] I WANT TO CRAC A ZIP FIILE [18:46] runpain2_: which one I dont know [18:46] SuSE user here till recently [18:46] knoppix: We don't support that here, and please lay off the capslock. [18:46] Santolina: what does the manual say? [18:46] i think i found it [18:46] porter1: yea but haw with chown? or chmod [18:46] how [18:46] knoppix: sudo apt-get install fcrackzip [18:46] is there any way i can give the flash drive a different mount location via properties? [18:46] ok pici [18:46] knoppix: it will take forever [18:46] runpain2_: its usually something real simple [18:47] Ubuntu is not working properly as it was [18:47] knoppix: why you need a cracker? [18:47] could someone explain me why intrepid ibex is supported until 2010 and hardy until 2011? [18:47] i want to crack a file [18:47] !illegal | knoppix [18:47] !caps | knoppix [18:47] knoppix: 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 [18:47] knoppix: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [18:47] when you see an error like 'an application is preventing the volume from being unmounted' how do you find out what the application is? [18:47] kooparg Hardy has long term support [18:47] why intrepid doesnt? [18:48] vi /etc/X11/default-display-manager [18:48] JCA-Denmark, chown changes the files owner, chmod changes the permissions of owner, group and other [18:48] X4D ive tried chmoding al files and dir 777 stil getting premission denied what can i be missing? [18:48] LjL: thankyou problem solved, now I can monitor my CPU without it bogging me down [18:48] runpain2_: go for it, but do a back up [18:48] when logging into a remote machine with SSH, do you have to have a user account on the target host? [18:48] Frijolie: Yes. [18:48] does anyone know how to enter roaming mode in ubuntu 8.10? like the terminal code or something? [18:49] Frijolie: It doesn't need to be the same name as your current account though. [18:49] I want to install the setfcaps tool, but it's not contained in libcap. Where can I get it from? === Skiessi is now known as Skiessio [18:49] unable to mount volume on flash drive? [18:49] Hi what is this error mean Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'cursor'. [18:49] hay .. i cant find the package [18:49] Dominik: Htop is really nice too, its like top but way more feature rich and it doesnt bog down the system, you have to install it though. its in apt-get :) [18:49] btw folks, startup manger is well cool, just install it from add/remove [18:49] Jeruvy I am so newbie to understand how to install this card ... that's the part I trusted the seller ... what I am asking here is: if this WERE a real HARDWARE-controlled RAID, how should it be detected and mounted on Linux? as a single device? or as 4 different devices? In other words ... which is the advantage or disadvantage of a REAL hardware controlled RAID, regarding the... [18:49] Pici: hmm, all I'm trying to to is transfer files between to local computers on my home network [18:49] ...difficulties of mounting it on Linux? [18:50] Pici: is SSH overkill? [18:50] JCA-Denmark, well try this "sudo chmod -R 777 filename" 777 gives read, write and execute permissions to everyone (which is not very safe) [18:50] Frijolie: Not at all, But you still need to have a way to authenticate to the remote machine. [18:50] knoppix: /join #knoppix [18:50] hello [18:50] Hello please help me [18:50] regeya: can't find it [18:50] how do i get the window to setup sound if i have xfce? (i have mythbuntu) [18:50] X4D-: Bad advice. [18:51] Pici: which is the easiest way to authenticate between machines? Can't you only accept connections from the local network (192.168.1.*) [18:51] how can I forward all emails sent to my server to some other email? [18:51] Santolina: thats great and all, but what does the ubuntu HCL say? [18:51] does anyone know how to enter roaming mode in ubuntu 8.10? like the terminal code or something? [18:51] X4d, thanks it workde must have done somthing wrong before :D [18:51] I have upgraded my ubuntu on my laptop to intrepid ibex and I have freezes almost always with clutter. it seems to video driver problem [18:51] saml: Create a .forward file. Google or give me a sec on syntax. [18:52] what is ubuntu HCL Jeruvy? [18:52] saml: You can also use /etc/aliases to do this systemwide. [18:52] Hi, i managed to share my internet connection with my 360 with firestarter but if im downloading things on my computer, i lag on xbox live. Could anyone please help me configure the quality of service (QoS) so that all the connections going to and from my xbox 360 (it always has the same ip and is always connected to the same network interface card) get the highest priority? thanks [18:52] JCA-Denmark, I dont suggest you keep 777, better change that to 754. [18:52] Santolina: http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/ [18:52] JCA-Denmark: you do realize that it won't make *one* user read/write to the other's file, but it will make *every* user able to do so? [18:52] saml: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/01/msg02569.html [18:52] Frijolie: No, you need to have an ssh server running on the remote machine and a user and some way to authenticate, either key based or password based. [18:52] saml: google '.forward syntax' [18:52] karsten: thank you very much!!!!!! [18:53] LjL yes [18:53] i want to extract a zip file with password .. .can somebody help me?>/????? [18:53] ????????????? [18:53] Pici: can you just have a password which isn't associated with a username set up? [18:53] LjL is there a way i can allow only one user to the files? [18:53] well, this is leaving me really puzzled, when i try to mount the filesystem, i do see the mount request at the server, and it is authenticated, but then nothing happens [18:53] knoppix: man tar [18:53] Frijolie: No. ssh doesn't work like that. [18:53] what tar? [18:53] What should be the permission of your home folder? [18:53] knoppix: /join #knoppix. Google for zip file crack, depends on implemntation. [18:53] Pici: I do have ssh installed on both machines [18:53] JCA-Denmark, yes you can create a group for those files and add the user you want to share the files with to that group [18:53] JCA-Denmark: you create a group for those two users, then you make the first user set the files s/he wants the the other to see as belonging to that group [18:53] ubuntu is not able to detect the graphics card driver or something [18:54] Frijolie: Do you have a user on both machines? [18:54] * lupine_85 appears to have been reassimilated into the Ubuntu collective [18:54] can anyone help me [18:54] JCA-Denmark: in practical terms, "sudo addgroup groupname", then "sudo adduser user1 groupname", "sudo adduser user2 groupname", then for files user1 wants to share, "chgrp groupname filename" [18:54] X4D-: LjL thanks you 2 :D [18:54] Pici: no, I don't have a user account set up on the remote machine [18:55] Frijolie: Then you can't use ssh. [18:55] knoppix: right-click: extract here? [18:55] what do i do about a flash drive that wont mount? [18:55] Pici: is there another way? [18:55] Appi: lspci | grep -i vga [18:55] Appi: What's your card? [18:55] LjL: I just installed htop, now where do I find it? [18:55] alec: Depends on how it doesn't mount. [18:55] Dominik: just type htop in a terminal [18:55] surprisingly clean, despite it's insistence on rebooting for trivial matters (ibex) [18:55] Frijolie: Do you have any access on this remote computer? at all? [18:55] does anyone know how to enter roaming mode in ubuntu 8.10? like the terminal code or something? [18:55] Dominik: you type "htop" in a console. htop is not a GUI program. [18:56] What does dwrxrwxrwx send for? [18:56] the file have password [18:56] karsten: it has an incorrect mounting location.

[18:57] anyone using inventel livebox with bunt? [18:57] Dominik: it was me that recommeneded htop not LjL , but you're welcome :p [18:57] Dominik: "top" is also installed by default, and started the same way [18:57] Frijolie: You're trying to do what? Bulk-transfer files? I'd recommend mc or lftp both of which support numerous transfer protocols, including ssh if it's available. [18:57] wifi that is [18:57] karsten: my browser is unable to display the images in both windows and ubuntu [18:57] Frijolie: But fall back to ftp and others if not. [18:57] Hi, i managed to share my internet connection with my 360 with firestarter but if im downloading things on my computer, i lag on xbox live.

[18:58] LF|Irssi_: thank you then, it is sexy [18:58] Appi: Um, you think you have a graphics card problem when you've got a GUI up and running because your web browser won't display images? [18:58] Samba is not using the password set in smbpasswd but instead the password of the account on the server, the users are the same on both but I made different passwords, can anyone explain to me how to change this?

[19:13] Falstaf: kino, I think. There are also a number of slideshow players. [19:13] karsten: yes i am there but the name in network-manager is not listed in that file, network manager has a card called ifupdown with no mac address. I would rather just assign my ip in interfaces and remove network-manger all together, is that possible ?

[19:14] karsten: aha, thanks [19:14] Dominik: running top/htop via sudo is dangerous -- you're root and may kill stuff you don't mean to by accident. [19:14] karsten: please see my previous msg [19:15] The second problem deals with upgrading. I figured the other problem would be fixed if I just upgraded to 8.10.

Rebooting, maybe. [19:16] Appi: OK. Then why do you think you have a graphics card problem? [19:16] How do I get unbuntu to recognize the new onboard sound card? [19:16] lspci shows it, so how do I use it? [19:16] karsten: when i was in windows someone in IRC gave this info [19:16] Dominik: In general -- don't run stuff as root, if you do, do it in as limited a mode as possible. If you want to renice a single process, do it via 'sudo nice' rather than 'sudo htop'. [19:16] karsten: I have bigger problems right now, ubuntu doesn't like to sleep :( when it wakes up its stubbern and wont move, it keeps acessing the hdd, so no other applications get hdd time, therefore won't run [19:17] I just asked in #xchat-gnome, but I can't seem to get an answer, can someone tell me why the .py I put in my directory for xchat isn't under prefs>scripts and plugins? === elektrikz is now known as elektrikz[out] [19:17] karsten: thanks for the edvice, turning off sudo Htop and running Htop again [19:17] Dominik: sleep/hibernate, suspend to ram stuff?

[19:17] 20:17 < Neurologic_> I just asked in #xchat-gnome, but I can't seem to get an answer, can someone tell me why the .py I put in my directory for xchat isn't under prefs>scripts and plugins?

RTFM on xchat docs to see how to add/modify scripts. I dont' run xchat. [19:18] karsten: sorry "suspend" [19:18] Frijolie: How did you get access to the remote computer? And how are you attempting to copy files from one to the other? [19:18] Does anyone have any idea what is wrong or how to fix it? [19:18] Dominik: You probably didn't create a large enough swap partition. That needs a disk edit (gparted) or reinstall. I'm learly about modifying disk partitions *especially* w/o backups, though I hear it almost always works (except when it doesn't). [19:18] karsten: everything is normal in ubuntu but when browsers are not displaying the images in both ubuntu and windows [19:19] * Neurologic_ sighs. [19:19] no when [19:19] Pici: Hmm. I accessed the remote computer by Places > Connect to server (ip address, username, password) [19:19] Appi: That's a browser problem. [19:19] jvrmrtn: No, not with the version of Xorg that is in Intrepid. This was noted in Intrepid's release notes. [19:19] karsten: ya that explains the hibernate, but the suspend? [19:19] Appi: Check to see that your browser is configured to display images. What browser? [19:19] how do I check the Ip of the DNS server(s) my DHCP assign to me? [19:19] karsten: I also don't think im allowed to move or resize anything as most of my disk is ntsf [19:19] karsten: mozilla [19:19] Frijolie: And where are you trying to copy it to? Which directory? [19:19] Pici: attempting to copy from source computer navigate to the GUI natuilus folder on the remote machine and paste [19:19] Dominik: Depends somewhat on the HW. I've had good luck with uswsusp on Debian, not tried yet w/ Ubuntu. [19:20] karsten: HW? [19:20] Dominik: Hardware. Specifics of your laptop. Who'se the vendor, what's the bios, etc. [19:20] Pici: Ah, I think I've discovered the problem. I'm trying to paste to another user's /home folder on the remote machine [19:20] I'll take that as a no. Thanks anyway. [19:20] Dominik: suspend/hibernate isn't fully standardized yet though it's getting pretty good. [19:20] how can I figure out from the command line what who my DNS server(s) are? [19:20] as given to me by my dhcp [19:21] Appi: Edit > Preferences > Content > Load images automatically [19:21] karsten: so you think bigger swap would also fix suspend? also when I was setting up ubuntu it didn't ask me for swap size, it just made it 512 [19:21] Pici: however, my user account on the remote machine has root privileges... [19:21] karsten: okay i will do that [19:21] Appi: ... or try loading this URL (Google's logo) directly: http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif [19:21] Dominik: How much RAM on your box ('free' or 'meminfo' [19:21] karsten: seeing how I have only 512 megs of mem minus 32 for vid it is not wonder that there is not enough space in the swap partition for both my mem and swap [19:21] oka [19:21] Dominik: erm, cat /proc/meminfo [19:22] hey, i just got a new mac. and want to install ubuntu, will I have to reinstall osx after a rezise of the mac os x partition ? [19:22] karsten: 11 megs free :-D [19:22] nechhhhhhhhh [19:22] How do I add a package repository via the command line? [19:22] ia de sfrancai la dedan [19:23] hi. can someone please help me to understand sudo? [19:23] Dominik: How much total? [19:23] I first noticed the problem when I went to the previous release, however I just went to 8.10 and the problem still exists.. When I try and view an avi file with mplayer.. it loads the first frame and then freezes only showing the frame.. if I fastforward I Can get to a new frame but it just sits at the fram and doesnt play the file.. any ideas? I have tried gstreamer-properties with no luck as well as the mplayer config options regarding video ouput [19:23] just as a test, i've added "desrt ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/ls" to sudoers [19:23] karsten: 480 ram, and 512 swap, only 49 swap free [19:23] it very well may be related to non avi files as well [19:23] Dominik: If you've got more than 512MB on the box, your swap is too small to use as a suspend partition. 2-3x RAM helps there. [19:23] !fr | matthieu_ [19:23] matthieu_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [19:23] i've also tried it like "ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD:" [19:23] but when i run sudo /usr/bin/ls i get asked a password [19:23] Dominik: Hrm. Not sure then. [19:23] desrt: Thats very insecure [19:23] i've tried adding the line to the top of the file, the bottom of the file, in both places at the same time. no love. [19:24] desrt: Don't do that. [19:24] i know what i want to do [19:24] i can't open synaptic says dpkg interrupted you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' [19:24] karsten: I have 512 megs of ram but 32 of those go to vid so I didn't count it, should I have? [19:24] but i run that and it doesn't work?? [19:24] i'd just really like to know how to do it [19:24] dwxreaper: have you done that? [19:24] desrt: I suggest: man sudoers for some examples [19:24] it is doing something with db-common for another program i haven't touched in synatpic in forever.. [19:24] slart: i typed that command yeah [19:24] genii; well, that's actually where i figured out the syntax, but it's not working [19:25] karsten: the utility tells me 480, but 460 megs in use now + 450 megs on swap = 910 megs that need to be stored for suspend [19:25] Dominik: Not sure. [19:25] dwxreaper: and you got some kind of error? tried putting a sudo in front of it? [19:25] karsten: load image is already checked and the web link you gave dint work. But again I am finding the same error === mike is now known as Guest13551 [19:25] Dominik: ... and as I said, bumping swap up is at least something you can test. [19:25] desrt: I suggest: The more complete manual is here: http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/man/sudoers.html [19:25] Appi: ?? Is there an error message presented? [19:25] !chm [19:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about chm [19:25] oh oh i've entered english room :P [19:25] Appi: Try 'wget ; display ' from commandline. You should see the Google logo. [19:26] karsten: ya makes sense, thanks, but when i tried to resize with the gui suggested by someone earlier it would not let me do it [19:26] how can I open chm files? [19:26] Appi: where is the google image given above. [19:26] slart: i'm running as root [19:26] karsten: and many error Warning: Selector expected. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector. [19:26] it says db-common flushing administrator password for a program i haven't even worked with forever [19:26] then just ahngs [19:26] Dominik: See what I said about resizing live disk. It's dicey. I usually back up, repartition, and restore. Or you can reinstall (not necessary but sometimes easier if you'r enew). [19:26] karsten: i will do that [19:27] Appi: screenshot and paste. You'll need to find a gfx upload site. [19:27] genii; again, the docs agree with what i'm doing [19:27] dwxreaper: well... I guess you'll have to check the manual for this mysterious program [19:27] karsten: okay [19:27] karsten: no vital data on disk, I know resizing live is dangerous but, what the hell :P [19:27] Slart: it's cacti a lot of people use it [19:28] Dominik: Live dangerously. I'd back up /home and go for it. Don't cry to me if you lose data. [19:28] it's been running forever, and still is [19:28] then when i went to install something else through synaptic there is a problem [19:28] RUMMY: install xchm ot gnochm [19:28] karsten: as I am in the evaluation phase of ubuntu it is fine for now, when I install it on my gf new lapy (vista) ill make sure to give here a 10 gig swap [19:28] Appi: This site may work for you http://tinypic.com/ [19:28] Appi: It's also possible you've got some network block or proxy block on images. [19:28] dwxreaper: you could always try uninstalling cacti [19:28] karsten: lol this hdd was empty before I put ubuntu on it, but thanks for the concern [19:28] Dominik: 2-3x max installable RAM is my rule of thumb. [19:29] slart: i could would not be good though, there is a big configuration file and rrd databases [19:29] ois ppl [19:29] desrt: Did you use visudo when editing so that it will catch any syntax problems? [19:29] slart: i can't tell it to ignore cacti [19:29] why is it even messing with that [19:29] Dominik: If your box can take 2-4 GB, set up 8-12 GB swap. Linux makes better use of RAM than Windows, a lot of apps are RAM-happy, and you can run a h*ll of a lot of stuff, so lots of ram is good. [19:29] karsten: her lapy will ship with 3 gig, so 6 to 9 I supose, but the resizing, I have resized live partitions under windows before, and as you said it usually works accept for the times it doesn't and your data is gone [19:29] karsten: Oh, okay i am going through your link [19:30] Appi: i just found that, can't recommend, but it's worth a shot. [19:30] karsten: I have found exactly that to be a weak point of linux, and this distro of ubuntu doesn't like me for haveing only 512 megs of ram [19:30] dwxreaper: it might have been some kind of update.. not sure if you can just tell it to ignore one package.. Apt is a big program full of features, wouldn't surprise me if there was a way [19:30] karsten: im sure my gf's new lapppy with 3 gig will fix that however [19:31] karsten: but 'wget ; display ' command not found === maco_ is now known as maco [19:31] Thunderbird keeps saying "negative vibes from..." for my hotmail and live accounts, does anyone knows how to fix it?

So i'll beleave that the IVTV driver (or something else) is making a drop.

But i just can't find how.

[20:35] I have a video I want to upload to Break.com. It's 200MB and the limit for videos at Break.com is 60MB. Is there a program for Ubuntu that can reduce the MB size of my video to 60MB? [20:35] rt: demove network manager piece of junk and install wicd. ask me if you need any help [20:35] *remove [20:35] how can I remove an encrypted partition in the partition manager of the installer. I keep getting a red screen saying it's not possible [20:35] Jeremy93283: You should probably split it in your video editor. [20:36] jim: nah i should be ok, can i do this over ssh :) i dont want to hookup a mouse and keyboard ::)) [20:36] karsten - Which video editor? [20:36] Kino? [20:36] is wicd in the repositorioes ? [20:36] rt: do what? install wicd? [20:36] Jeremy93283: The one you used to create the vid [20:36] anyone [20:36] rt: no :( wicd has its own repo [20:36] No I just got it off my camera [20:36] know visor? the drop-down terminal? [20:36] bleh [20:36] karsten: well in the cpuinfo file says cpu MHz 800.000 and cache size 512 kb [20:36] I just installed intrepid, in my latest effort to get the sound chip Intel ICH??? working since it had been working in Gutsy.. with no joy. Anyone else have an Intel dg965wh series MB? [20:36] is there such similar apps in ubuntu? [20:36] ok [20:37] pen: tilda and yuakuake? [20:37] hi guys, I am looking at a system of a friend know, who installed windows after he installed intrepid and I wanted to reinstall grub, chrooting to the sys fails, as usr,bin/proc,dev are missing, how can that happen? [20:37] ricardooliveira: try kino, maybe. [20:37] It ended up being a little over 200MB. Break.com wants it to be 60MB. So How do I decompress it to 60MB from 200MB on my Ubuntu? [20:37] im connected to an ftp from the terminal using ftp command , how do I upload a file? [20:37] karsten: as root apt-get is this? [20:37] jim_p, ok, I know them, buggy, I want something like visor a addon for terminal [20:37] hi all two issues...is it normal that ubuntu file dialogs start in a small window? [20:37] ricardooliveira: video is already a compressed coded. You can try stuff like 'split' but I think it will break the file format. So: fire up an editor and edit, split, or recode the video. [20:38] ricardooliveira: rephrase that please. [20:38] ricardooliveira: sudo aptitude install kino [20:38] ricardooliveira: NM. [20:38] Jeremy93283: kino, maybe. [20:38] I need a lightweight program that will let me read from a USB port. Anyone know of one? [20:38] kasten: ok karsten I'm gonna trie. thanks for all. I'm a kind of newbie yet. [20:39] ricardooliveira: NP [20:39] karsten: see ya. [20:39] ricardooliveira: ciao [20:39] hi people [20:39] hi [20:40] dobblego: you set the default Open With program there. in properties of that file, and Open With tab. assuming you're using nautilus. [20:40] somebody knows how to fix wifi, bluetooth, hotkeys and suspend mode in ubuntu 8.10 for a asus 1000h eeepc ? [20:41] sec: try the array.org kernel [20:41] hello girls [20:42] ** I NEED HELP WITH get_inode issues ** [20:42] hi, i'm having a weird bug with my dual monitor setup, the bottom 5cm of one of my monitors is black, the only thing displayed is the mouse [20:42] i can't believe how frustrating and difficult file sharing is! I cannot get this to work! [20:43] I've tried every which way and it still is not working. [20:43] neal_: Your display virtual size is set too small. [20:43] neal_: You can play with xrandr to see and change settings. man xrandr. [20:43] neal_: There's probably a GUI way to do it as well through your desktop (system settings, display, ...) [20:43] thanks will do, [20:43] OMG, MY CORTEX IS GETTING DARKER!!!! [20:43] console is fine [20:43] :OOOOOOOOOOO [20:43] Dark_Cortex: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:44] Frijolie: What's your goal? [20:45] apollo13: I use the kernel from array.org but I should use the acpi scripts sources? [20:45] can i just ask a very noob question; why is it not good to use root account [20:45] sec: dunno, waiting for my eee to arrive [20:45] karsten: I'm trying to cut/paste files between two Ubuntu computers on a local network [20:45] Frijolie: both running ubuntu? [20:45] hi [20:45] karsten: i've tried NFS, SSH, SMB [20:45] karsten: yes, both Intrepid [20:46] Frijolie: and cut/paste or cp / scp, etc.? [20:46] Hello, can anybody help me with a wifi interface problem? [20:46] kilo7: firstly because it is unnecessary and can make it much easier to lose data or break things. Some applications also aren't designed for it. [20:46] when I revoke a key, I automatically revoke the keys I have signed ? [20:46] karsten: cut/paste === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [20:46] Frijolie: Please pastebin an scp -v attempt and output. [20:46] what replaces gnome-keyring-manager in intrepid? [20:46] Skrux: no, but your signings are rendered worthless. [20:46] Frijolie: Um. "cut/paste" how? [20:46] Can anybody suggest a solution to this in openoffice, menus etc are just coming up as dashes, suggestions welcome, example screenshot is http://imagebin.org/30474 [20:46] karsten: I can browse folders but Im getting "permission denied" [20:46] Skrux: What PriceChild said. [20:47] Frijolie: On read or write? [20:47] ok [20:47] karsten: i've changed ownership, groups [20:47] karsten: write [20:47] Frijolie: for smb, "smbpasswd" [20:47] Frijolie: Same or different users on local/remote systems? [20:47] hello [20:47] Frijolie: ... and what application / what protocol are you using to browse? [20:47] karsten: local machine user writing to another user on remote machine [20:47] Frijolie: I'd *strongly* recommend using CLI tools at least to get the issue sorted out. [20:48] karsten: i'm open to CLI [20:48] Frijolie: tell us what protocol [20:48] Frijolie: scp -va : [20:48] kl4m: whatever you're willing to help with I have all those protocols, i've listed above, installed [20:49] Frijolie: eg: scp -va foo frijolie@otherbox:bar [20:49] After upgrade from hardy to intrepid, some of the special keys on my laptop act a bit weird (for example, the key to increase lcd backlight also prints a "±" character). Anyone else seen this? [20:49] Frijolie: You can simplify to scp -va foo remotehost:. if user and filename are same [20:49] Frijolie: try that. If it fails, pastebin the command *and* output. [20:49] then [20:49] how do I revoke my key ? [20:50] Frijolie: If that works, there are some tools which make copying/syncing large numbers of files a lot easier. scp can mirror directories, rsync is *really* good at dealing with large data volumes / large numbers of files, esp. on repeated updates where not much changes. lftp and mc both provide interactive console interfaces to file xfer. [20:50] somebody use the kernel from array.org for a eeepc? [20:51] Apache2 doesn't parse php(5) in personal website purged reinstalled restarted and still no cake.

[20:51] Does anyone know what to do when Ubuntu's installation process freezes at [End of Trace]? [20:51] Please i could use a little help [20:51] Skrux: gpg --gen-revoke, then edit key to implement. Then publish the revoked key. [20:51] karsten: sorry, meaning alias or IP address? [20:51] PyChild: /join #apache [20:51] Frijolie: either. [20:52] karsten: ok [20:52] anyone? [20:52] karsten: k... [20:53] !ask [20:53] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [20:53] =] [20:53] Skrux: That process is dependent on other people updating your key. You can't rely on that, which means you probably want to contact anyone who'se been using your key to send/receive encrypted/signed messages. [20:53] Don't ask for "does anyone know about xyz". Just ask the question. [20:53] d00kiejones: Post what you're trying to do, what works/doesn't, and any relevant error/debug info.

[20:55] !xmms | CaBlGuY [20:55] CaBlGuY: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [20:55] !atheros > evan_ [20:55] evan_, please see my private message [20:55] !info xmms2-plugin-flac | CaBlGuY [20:55] cablguy: xmms2-plugin-flac (source: xmms2): XMMS2 - flac decoder.

Version 0.5DrLecter-2ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 15 kB, installed size 68 kB [20:55] wow! so, it's true!?! :-O [20:56] CaBlGuY: use audacious and install the audacious-plugins and audacious-plugins-extra [20:56] dang.. that sux! [20:56] Frijolie: It can be, but you need write permissions for that user, or a login to that user's account. [20:56] any1 hav time for an apache2 vhost question [20:56] ? [20:56] Frijolie: Generally you'd copy to someplace _you_ can access, provide other user access to that location, and tell 'em to get the file there. [20:56] hi, why does ubuntu compile the kernel with gcc 4.2.3 if it ships with gcc 4.2.4? [20:56] Hi guys if I want to play multiplayer java games in mozilla firefox what java plugin should I install then GJC, The Java(TM)6, The Java(TM)5 or GJC (using OpenJDK) [20:57] Frijolie: If you're doing complex filesharing you may want a revision controll system (eg: git, svn, Hg, arch) [20:57] i need help with vhosting in apache2 ubunu 8.10 [20:57] CaBlGuY: don't go looking for xmms elsewhere. Really, use audacious. [20:57] timecist: Keeps you on your toes.

[20:58] Frijolie: scp -v. No -a. I was getting scp & rsync options confuzzed. [20:58] Frijolie: man scp [20:58] that is really stupid [20:58] is it possible to extract a tar.gz file(that has /folder/contents/) to a / dir? [20:58] CaBlGuY: audacious is xmms, only a fork of a fork [20:59] I have tried to install Ubuntu on my new laptop but it keeps freezing on the exact same spot of the splash screen. Does anyone know what I can do? [20:59] hello. is there any software you know for torrent download? but an automatic one? i need a torrent agent that will automatically scan torrents and download me a selection based on keywords file preferences etc. [20:59] karsten: well, it's transferring....wonder if the destination user will be able to read/execute it [20:59] orkaan, rtorrent [21:00] kilo7: man tar. There are several options to change output location. -C [21:00] instrallin xmms2 now... [21:00] Hi... anyone know how I can remove all "no longer available" songs from banshee automatically? I don't want to go trough 60+ songs and select each one and delete each one :( [21:00] This not the vim channel, but anyone know how to tell vim to automatically turn on syntax highlighting based on file extension? [21:00] karsten: thanks so far, you've got me one more step on the right direction. What about bulk files? rsync? [21:00] CaBlGuY: oh, I thought xmms was not available anymore, anyway they're really the same [21:01] Frijolie: chmod g+r. chgrp file. Make sure you and other user are part of same group. If it's safe to, make file world-readable. [21:01] hey there everybody, how you doing?? [21:01] evan_: Don't PM me [21:01] !botsnack [21:01] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [21:01] lol [21:01] ok [21:02] Frijolie: bulk: scp -r (recurse through dirs), rsync. [21:02] Kl4m, no worries... thanks though,.,. [21:02] hey guys, im having a problem, i dunno if anyone could help me =) [21:02] Frijolie: If it's a one-time deal, scp is fine. rsync is *much* more efficient at syncronizing large filetrees. Learn it, it's very, very, very worthwhile. [21:02] ghrocks: what is it then? [21:03] ghrocks: Just ask your question. If anyone knows the answer, they'll chime in. [21:03] thnx [21:03] i finally got it working thanks everyone [21:03] karsten: i have experimented with rsync before as a means for backup to an external HDD and wound up deleting 1GB of pictures [21:03] Frijolie: the -n parameter is your friend [21:04] hello [21:04] Frijolie: http://sial.org/howto/rsync/#s5 [21:04] I have a question [21:04] Frijolie: ... a decent start. Lots of other examples online. [21:04] anyone have a moment to debug my evidently flawed syntax in /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default ? [21:04] so ever since then, i'm hesitant to use it until I can master it's capabilites [21:04] if I install like : sudo apt-get install program [21:04] hey everyone I just downloaded the ISO of Intrepid Ibex and am wondering how to upgrade my existing Wubi install using the ISO [21:04] Frijolie: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2008/10/28/essentials-2008 (fixed link) [21:04] i have problems with firefox, whenever i open it keeps like loading, but it doesn't freeze, i dont have any bookmark and it appears like if it has loaded completely but i don't see anything, like the blank page as homepage on ie, but i have assisgned a homepage [21:04] where does ubuntu put my program [21:04] !ask gigel2007 [21:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask gigel2007 [21:04] !ask > gigel2007 [21:04] gigel2007, please see my private message [21:05] ghrocks: Does it display the firefox window, or only show the "Starting Firefox" button? [21:06] does anyone know what [ 92.670413] ---[ end trace cbe85998192731bd ]--- means? The Ubuntu installation keeps freezing at this point. [21:06] Frijolie: There are some pretty standard recipies (rsync -avz :) which give you a lot of mileage. [21:06] Aireas: That's a kernel logging entry [21:06] if I install like : sudo apt-get install program , where does ubuntu install the program? like in windows you install sometihng you choose the location and you can view the folder, why do I have limited choices in linux? [21:06] Aireas: What precedes it? [21:07] Aireas: Mine did that. Turns out the CD didn't burn correctly. Have use the verify cd menu option from the live cd menu. === gigel2007 is now known as gigel2006 [21:07] it displays firefox completely [21:07] gigel2007: it installs the program where the package files go. 'dpkg -L ' to list all files in a package. [21:07] hi [21:07] Does anyone know of a easy way to remove songs that do no longer exist, from my Banshee library? There's sooo many old songs on my Library! [21:07] ghrocks: Sorry, but just to make sure, can your system access the internet? [21:07] someone can tell me what is the command to format my hdd please ? [21:07] Karsten: ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b === mx-tvt_ is now known as mx-tvt [21:07] gigel2006: Packages install files at various locations which are standardized for the entire system. usually /usr/bin, /usr/share, /usr/lib, and other bits. [21:08] denis__, does it have to be from the terminal? if not, you can use gparted. or type parted from command line [21:08] Does anyone have experience installing on a dell laptop with media direct? Can I just use my media direct partition as linux swap, or will something weird happen if i delete that partition? [21:08] #ubuntu-classroom [21:08] Aireas: How about you pastebin a dozen lines or so. is the system still up? [21:08] I'm having serious networking problems. I put the new PCI card in the computer but linux doesn't see it [21:08] gigel: in CLI: which [21:08] denis__, you've got to run those as root [21:08] I think it is enough [21:08] thanks lifestream [21:08] karsten: it's on my laptop but I am typing to you from my desktop :( [21:08] np [21:09] JulioNeto: Wozzat? [21:09] Thanks, so in linux linux handles it ? so that for example you can use a direct command in a terminal, it does that automatically ? [21:09] yes, it can, yesterday i had a problem with authentication software or secure sites, it solved itself after some time, but right now, it's only firefox, i can acces through opera, or any software but i can't with fireox [21:09] does anyone have any experience with cabextract? [21:09] karsten, OpenWeek Channel [21:09] hey guys, I have a problem with compiling gnome-sharp, I installed all develepement parkage but, it just don't want to build gnome-sharp.dll [21:09] how can I run it ? [21:09] karsten: I'll start typing it up as I see it [21:09] Aireas: will toggle between virtual terminals. There's different stuff logged in different places. If you can see any of these, process steps should be described. [21:09] because Im under KDE [21:09] JulioNeto: I sorta noticed that. What's OpenWeek? [21:10] and I don't know... [21:10] karsten, join and see :) [21:10] Aireas: If you've got a camera and can upload screenshots, that might be faster. [21:10] ghrocks: I'm not too familiar with Firefox's security exceptions, but if you were having problems previously with secure sites, you might want to check a Firefox support forum to see if anyone else is experiencing anything similar. [21:10] JulioNeto: Not enough bandwidth. [21:10] JulioNeto: Pitch me. [21:11] Thanks, so in linux linux handles it ? so that for example you can use a direct command in a terminal, it does that automatically ? [21:11] thnx, bikger geek, i just want to make sure if it may be a problem with the os or a script on it [21:11] gigel2006: Sorry, context? [21:11] karsten: I don't have a camera anymore. I tried hitting Alt+F4 but nothing happened. It seems to have locked up. I'll start typing it if that is okay. [21:11] Is it possible to resize encrypted partitions in a lvm? and is it possible to grow the whole lvm partition ?? [21:11] it was about knowing where the program is installed like in windows, so in linux linux handles it ? so that for example you can use a direct command in a terminal, it does that automatically ? [21:12] Aireas: alt-sysrq-? [21:12] Aireas: sysrq == PrtSc key on most PC keyboards. [21:12] ok guys, thnx a lot, see ya [21:12] i'm trying to get ChemCad to work under hardy, i've got all the pre-requisite components installed, but the installer gives me this error: http://pastebin.com/m282a95b7 [21:12] okay, I hit alt+sysrq [21:12] anyone here had problems auth'ing to a BNC with XChat? i keep getting bad user/pass from server but its correct. I have googled but cant fix :/. in windows (mirc) its fine, and i connect no probs [21:13] gigel2006: Linux defines a standard filesystem layout (FHS) and set of facilities present (LSB). The package manager (APT for Ubuntu) puts pieces of software & systems packages where they belong within this hierarchy, manage relationships between packages, configure them, track files, and handle uninstall. [21:13] I want to install ubuntu on one of the last-gen MBPs... it's an intel core 2 duo, but not the latest one. I looked at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#bt and the available archs are i386 and amd64. Which one should I pick? I thought I can use 64 bit but it looks like that's just amd? [21:13] Anyone have any suggestions for getting a USB headset to work? [21:14] so therefore it's all automatic ? [21:14] gigel2006: See also Debian Policy (which Ubuntu adopts as well) which defines more stuff about the package management. [21:14] so i swapped my mobo, and now i have no network devices. i thought linux didn't care what hardware i had installed. [21:14] gigel2006: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/LSB [21:14] patmaddox: It's essentially 32 bit or 62 bit, and what your processor can handle. [21:14] I mean 64* [21:14] : I hit the alt+sysrq but I don't think I can paste it anywhere. The system seems locked up so I would have to reboot it [21:14] is it all automatic then ? [21:14] arrrghhh: udev tracks NICs by MAC and will renumber devices. [21:15] arrrghhh: If you had eth0 now will be eth1 old eth1 wil be eth2 now. And so on [21:15] genii, all i have is lo. no eth devices [21:15] karsten, que? [21:15] : [21:15] sorry miss type [21:15] well, I had to install Audacious.... xmms2 is command line and I'm not that uber yet.. :-p Audacious don't seem that recource intrusive to me but, I got 64 processor and 2 gig of ram.. ;) [21:15] arrrghhh: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-rules [21:16] arrrghhh: udev keeps a list of adapters it finds by mac address and will keep incrementing the ethX number even if the old ones no longer exisy [21:16] hi, someone is saying me that i may have a conflict in several qt installations ; how can i clean them up with apt-get ? [21:16] For some reason, the software sources program seems to no longer be on my computer. gksudo software-sources-gtk does nothing but ask for a password, and locate software-sources-gtk gives no results. How do I reinstall it? [21:16] hrm... how can i get it back to eth0 then? [21:16] karsten: Thanks, was just looking for that :) [21:16] arrrghhh: /sbin/ifconfig -a should list all known network devices. If you see say, eth2, eth3, eth4, rather than starting w/ eth0, you've had devices renumbered. Or you have a diffeent problem. [21:16] Does anyone know how can you use injectin with ath9k, google doesn't know anything about that [21:16] arrrghhh: One sec. [21:16] gigel2006: NP [21:16] arrrghhh: Edit the file karsten indicated [21:16] Sajuta: so I can download the amd64 iso even though my machine has a 64-bit intel proc? [21:16] anybody willing to help me get my sound working now? [21:17] patmaddox: Sure can. [21:17] Sajuta: cool, thanks [21:17] genii, ok, i'm gonna swap monitors and see if this works. i'm too lazy to drag my old crt up here lol [21:17] arrrghhh: I think you can just manually edit the file and renumber the high-numbered interfaces to 0, 1, etc. Or delete the file and it's regenerated at boot when the udev scripts are run. [21:17] patmaddox: yes. [21:18] hello. Anyone an idea why alias nano ='sudo nano' is not working? [21:18] patmaddox: Intel uses the AMD64 instruction set. IA64 == Itanium which is pretty much deaddeaddead. [21:18] Koordin: what packages are conflicting? [21:18] jarco: you have a space after =, try removing that [21:18] Koordin: ... and are they Ubuntu or third-party packages? [21:18] ok eddVRS [21:18] jarco: sorry, I meant before the = [21:19] i'm trying to get ChemCad to work under hardy, i've got all the pre-requisite components installed, but the installer gives me this error: http://pastebin.com/m282a95b7 [21:19] karsten: i'm on kubuntu ; i think that's qt4 [21:19] karsten, genii, i think you both hit the nail on the head. there was an entry for eth0 w/my old via crap and a new entry for eth1. i'm rebooting now. [21:19] Does anyone know how can you use injectin with ath9k, I have an atheros AR9281 and the ath9k are already instaled but NO INJECTION [21:19] arrrghhh: Ok. I think that reboot helps sort things out faster though it shouldn't be strictly necessary. [21:20] ok eddVRS === Linux_Ubuntu is now known as milky [21:20] karsten, yea i just decided to blast out the file and reboot. didn't feel like editing it, and the old entry didn't need to be there. [21:20] hooray the server is pinging! [21:20] arrrghhh: renaming is usually better than deleting. [21:20] what is the alternative to alsa? [21:20] maco: any response? [21:21] works now eddVRS thx [21:21] I'm having serious networking problems. I put the new PCI card in the computer but linux doesn't see it [21:21] karsten, true, i probably should've renamed the file. but it's workin and i'm happy. now to learn how to partition my 1tb hdd at the command prompt! [21:21] hey folks. I know you can run stuff with "nohup {executable}" so it stays running after logging off. But is there a way to apply nohup an already running process. y backup is taking too long and I want to go home :-) [21:22] Maybe I can ctrl-z and then bg (background) the brogram [21:22] jarco: gd news! [21:22] arrrghhh: mv file file.bak or mv file file.$( date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S ) [21:22] I am getting an error and the machine does not complete its shutdown it is about NetworkManager nm_dbus_signal_device_status_change: assertion ..... bus_connection` failed. Can someone please help me out. [21:22] arrrghhh: echo $( date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S ) to see what that does. [21:22] can someone here help me get gmake ? I am trying to install vmgl and it needs gmake. [21:22] how make wget go through isa proxy server with ntml auth ? [21:22] karsten, yes i know how to rename files. i know that's what i should've done in case i needed to reinstate, but it's no biggie. [21:23] suleyman: First suggestion: learn to use screen. [21:23] Is there a way to give you permission on files and all subfiles and subfolders with chown? I copyed some stuff from another distro [21:23] arrrghhh: it's the date string substitution to create a timestamp for the backup fi.e [21:23] file [21:23] karsten, 20081105-142309 - why? [21:23] screen is awesome in a most awesome way [21:23] Does anyone know the atheros support channel ? [21:23] :) [21:23] Iradieh, the -R switch applies to everything recursively. [21:23] man screen [21:24] arrrghhh: That's a datestamp in YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS format. I find it useful for remembering *when* I created a particular backup file. [21:24] karsten, don't sweat it. server's already rebooted, and i'm sshed into it now. [21:24] arrrghhh: Yeah, just sharing the Wisdom. [21:24] What do I install to get software-sources-gtk back?

It works for Exaile, so I figure it may be a package I'm missing that lets Amarok "talk" to other programs. [21:25] suleyman: I don't think you can nohup a running process. As I said, screen is really the solution you want. [21:25] same here, sorry [21:25] !bugs | Aireas Report it as akernel bug [21:25] Aireas Report it as akernel bug: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [21:25] karsten, ha, thanks. i've been very careful about backing up configs to the "cloud" - just in case. [21:25] Aireas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:25] smb advise me how to update machine through isa proxy with ntml auth [21:25] Walkbo: There's a plugin for that somewhere. [21:25] Walkbo: Might ask on #kde [21:25] karsten thx [21:26] Hi community, is there a picture viewer for Linux that can properly display animated GIFs? I tried with both the built-in "Eye of Gnome" and with gpicview, but they both only show the first frame and stop there. The only way I can display animated GIFs right now is with Firefox. Any ideas? [21:26] arrrghhh: chown -r doesnt work [21:26] Iradieh, -R [21:26] arrrghhh: chown -R doesn't worjk [21:26] suleyman: ... or I could be wrong: http://www.usenet-forums.com/linux-general/89848-nohup-running-process.html [21:26] chown /path -R [21:26] =) [21:26] Iradieh, it does, you're command is wrong then. [21:26] suleyman: Hrm. Maybe "disown": http://www.goldfisch.at/knowledge/347 [21:26] Walkbo: There are actually a few plugins. apt-cache search for amarok should return some that work with it. [21:27] suleyman: That's a bash builtin. 'help disown' [21:27] arrrghhh: okay sorry, I have to have user there [21:27] anybody know how to pass ntml auth in wget ? [21:27] karsten: thanks again, I'll investigate rsync. You're like the Linux guru you're helping like 15 people at a time. I'm envious [21:27] Frijolie: Well, it doesn't pay the bills ;-) [21:27] how would i give a user r/w rights to /var/log/gnump3d/access.log [21:27] Frijolie: ... but it keeps me off the streets. [21:28] hi (ubuntu 8.04) i uninstalled by mistake some of nvidia files or sthg now hardware driver dt detect nvidia anymore and i'm working on low resolution plz help [21:28] Sajuta: I have the music tracker plugin for pidgin that pulls Exaile's status but not Amarok's. I also have the Amarok Pidgin script. [21:28] Compiz makes my terminal almost unusable. Disabeling loose bindings helps as a work around, but then it's actually better running metacity because of performance. Does anybody know if there is a fix for this comming? [21:28] karsten: thx again, clearly you are better googler than I am :-) [21:28] karsten: you're not a linux system admin or something? how long you been using? [21:28] suleyman: It's a good question, one I usually assume the answer to is "no". [21:28] Frijolie: 20+ Unix, 10+ Linux, mostly Debian [21:29] I figure it's an issue with Amarok "talking" to other apps as it is out of its normal environment? [21:29] SunOS admlim1 5.9 Generic_117171-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 [21:29] ooops, wrong window [21:29] Walkbo: If you go in to configure the plugin (should be Tools> Plugins) select MusicTracker and click Configure, is it set to auto-detect? Amarok? Exaile? [21:30] i just upgraded to intrepid the other day, and it didn't retain my NetworkManager vpnc (cisco vpn) settings. the vpnc configuration dialog has changed a bit, and i'm wondering if someone can help me troubleshoot my current failure to connect. http://pastebin.com/d5700f3dd [21:30] Hi, i'm trying to figure out which version of freeciv to install, sdl, gtk+ or Xaw3D, google seems to have lots of technical specs on this stuff, but no useful lamens data [21:30] what type of config stuff goes into /etc/defaults and what goes into the specific dirs or files in etc for each service ? [21:30] How do I get back the program software-sources-gtk? It won't start from the terminal or menu and locate software-sources-gtk shows nothing. [21:30] seems i cant find any description of what type of files are suppopsed to go into /etc/Defaults, is it options for the init scripts ? [21:30] hey guys, i cant import my firefox search plugins from windows -> ubuntu. it says permission denied. can someone help me out? [21:30] Sajuta: Yeah, I've got it set for Amarok. [21:31] karsten: whoa! Well I've been Linux exclusive now for 2 years and I've never looked back. I'm still a noob. Any advice? [21:31] Lasivian: None of the above if you value your sanity. gtk+ in general (it's GNOME-ish) [21:31] Frijolie: Keep on keepin' on. [21:31] onexused: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop will reinstall anything you might have lost from the original ubuntu package set [21:31] hi, any idea how I can enable cupsd listening on lpr port 515 on ubuntu (8.04) so that I can print to that machine from another machine using the lpr -H hostname cmd ? [21:31] LjL: Thanks. [21:31] karsten: marry the CLI? === Obama4Pres is now known as Lord_VaMpyro [21:31] install tar.gz.......... sry - i still do not know exactly how to install tar.gz packages - could anyone tell me? [21:31] Frijolie: Given my experience, it beats marrying the green-card scammer.... [21:31] rabe: jsut dont [21:31] karsten: well, those are the three client options [21:32] Walkbo: Have you restarted each of the programs? Sometimes that helps them pair. Hmm... I'm using that plugin with Audacious myself. [21:32] ? [21:32] rabe: use debs instead [21:32] karsten: hehe...whoa TMI. [21:32] no i have to compile it i think [21:32] LjL: When I give that command, it asks to remove 68 packages, some of which I definately want. What do I do about that? [21:32] rabe: a .tar.gz file is merely a compressed archive, much like a .zip file. how you "install" it depends on what's in it. but still, you usually install software on Ubuntu using APT, not random files downloaded from the net. what are you trying to install? [21:32] Walkbo: Also, are you sure it's not working? Add yourself to your own buddy list to check. It doesn't -look- like it's changing to you, only on the outbound level. [21:33] does anyone happen to know if there is a way to add/remove shares from a samba server without restarting the daemon? [21:33] Frijolie: ... yeah, love the CLI. I got a ton of mileage from "Linux in a Nutshell", "UNIX Power Tools", and "Running Linux". The Linux Documentation Project (http://www.tldp.org/) rocks. install dwww and as many docs packages (Ubuntu has tons) as you can and browse in your spare time. Learn shell, a database, Perl/Python, and basic services admin (mail, web, dns, samba). [21:33] onexused: that is weird. are you on intrepid? are you on GNOME, KDE or something else? are you using any third-party repositories? [21:33] rabe: then you will not get any automatic updates, and you might very well get collisions with other ubuntu software and other wierd problems [21:33] karsten: green-card scammer? is that a peripheral? [21:33] Frijolie: /lastlog it and save to a file [21:33] http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tvbrowser/tvbrowser-2.7.1.tar.gz [21:33] Frijolie: No, it was an attractive danish woman with a few too many secrets. [21:33] rabe: i bet there is a readme file in there [21:33] rabe: just realise you can easily fuckup your box that way [21:33] Frijolie: http://allium.zgp.org/pipermail/linux-elitists/2008-October/012566.html [21:33] could be - second... [21:34] i know... [21:34] but i know this program [21:34] Frijolie: punchline in the last paragraph, but read the first 3 or so first. [21:34] Does anyone know how can you use injectin with ath9k ? [21:34] rabe, you may want to use checkinstall, it will allow you to uninstall afterwards [21:34] rabe: doesnt mean that it will work well in ubuntu, and not cause problems [21:34] checkinstall is ag reat piece of advice [21:35] its an java application [21:35] use taht as jimcooncat said [21:35] how to use? [21:35] rabe: if it is a java application, there should be no need to install it [21:35] LjL: I'm using 8.04, whatever that's called. I'm only using repos that I could check in the software sources program, plus ubuntu alternate install discs I downloaded from ubuntu.com. I'm using gnome, but I should have KDE installed still. A lot of the stuff is from KDE, but there are other things like cups and openoffice.org that don't belong to either. [21:35] LjL: in the remove list, I mean. [21:35] dammit alternate install installed lilo and now I get a grub error and cant boot [21:35] Sajuta: Ok, tried restarting them and adding myself. No dice... Also, I know it was working with Exaile because you can see the status message at the bottom of the Pidgin window. There's just nothing special when using Amarok.

Until yesterday I was running twinview with nvidia (8800gts) but it died, so I had to put in a ATI card. But my extended desktop, which is my lcd-tv won't go higher then my lcd-screens resolution. With nvidia i could run fullhd on the tv, as I was using the lcds default resolution just to work on..anyone here that knows what im talking about? [21:54] XLV: I don't have vm and I have a slow connection, can I just copy the root without home, sys, proc ? [21:54] jarco: hold on plz [21:54] ArShAm: I haven't any experience with a USB stick, BUT you should be able to run the installer with the stick as the target. [21:54] How can you view .doc files in ubuntu? [21:54] k hubar [21:54] joakim, someone is joking with us with those kernel updates. I hat trouble with adsl modem and stability. They are gone after update of and update.. [21:54] it's too bad i was kind of liking the 1680x1050 + 1600x1200, that the last version of ubuntu supported [21:55] sorry joaopinto [21:55] gigel2006: i think Open office can handle *.DOCs [21:55] comrademikhail, broken as in, no sound [21:55] ecclesiastes: in that way, I am not transfering my current stuff [21:55] jarco: try this # deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main #OpenOffice [21:55] joaopinto: i mean what kinda laptop [21:55] where can I get it ? [21:55] H4nta: my xorg.conf says to use a "-phigh" option. I'm not sure what it does, but does running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" work? [21:55] anyone know where ms-sys is located - to dl and install in Ubuntu ? [21:55] nikolam, these days I always pray when I see a kernel upgrade :D [21:55] comrademikhail, I am still on 8.04 because of that kind of stuff [21:55] ArShAm, use dd to copy the partition to a file.. then get vmware.. just copying root wont do it [21:55] joaopinto: i'm having the issue on a dell studio 15 with an hda-intel card [21:55] jarco: you know what to do with a new repository right? [21:56] what service should I restart to force font reload its hinting configuration??? [21:56] jarco; http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-0-in-Ubuntu-8-10-96449.shtml but it could be risky [21:56] !vm [21:56] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [21:56] i just recompiled alsa to no avail [21:56] comrademikhail, I believe it's the same chipset [21:56] yes hubar i know [21:56] it was working last night before i went to bed [21:56] gigel2006: should already be installed, have a look under applications>office [21:56] joaopinto, That `s not what the things should work.. [21:56] thx platius [21:56] i gonna read some more about it before i try it [21:56] the odd is that I have reinstalled the previous kernel, and I still have no sound [21:56] ArShAm: No. the stick has to be bootable first ..try XLV's suggestion. [21:56] jarco: nice, then try that rep, I did , I have OO3 on my intrepid now. :) [21:56] joaopinto, Does that updated things get tested? [21:56] I have had this problem many times but though not too much about it. I just restart my computer and all is fine. But it is getting annoying. When I'm not on my computer for a while (about maybe 6 hours) it will not runn any commands when I get back on. every command says "bash: (path to command): Input/output error" Anyone know whats going on? [21:56] :) [21:56] kewl [21:57] XLV: ok , so , dd to make an iso from root, and what to do with vmware again? [21:57] jarco; it is working for me, but I have not used it much. [21:57] what is wrong with my machine???? every time i close my notebook ubuntu hangs up instead of switching into suspend [21:57] any ideas? [21:57] Help! I can't stop the wrong device driver from loading! blacklist failed. [21:57] yes thank you, what about xvid, avi, mp3 can I play that as well ? [21:57] joaopinto, Thats nothing. on 8.10 by default, floppy disks don`t work,.. [21:57] yeah platius i need the multi page editing functions :p [21:57] i have been struggling with sound for the past week [21:57] what do i miss "This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system [21:57] that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification. [21:57] " .. tell me what to write in term [21:57] ArShAm, i feel you have too little knowledge and you'll end up screwing your existing ubuntu installation [21:58] finally got it runnign great this week and they break it [21:58] great. [21:58] so I'm sure this is probably holy war stuff...but I'm just installing ubuntu for the first time, which window manager do I want to use? :) [21:58] Sajuta: Ok, after installing tons of stuff to get the plugin to compile it failed, but.... I happened to right-click the Pidgin icon in the tray and checked toggle status changing in the musictracker menu and voila... [21:58] pickknic: i did as you said and that only creates a blank xorg.conf [21:58] XLV: you bet I am! [21:58] how do i force 'defrag' in ubuntu ? [21:58] does anyone know why ubuntu hangs up when i close my notebook?? [21:58] i fixed my sound by uninstalling the PulseAudio server, and enabling just the ALSA or whatever its called (for 8.10 that is) [21:58] ngon it isnt needed [21:58] ArShAm, copy the whole partition, using dd, to a file. using vmware, make that file a virtual drive of a vm.. then add vmware player in the usb stick, along with the whole virtual drive. on every pc, all you'll have to do is install vmware player, then load the vm and use it [21:58] how can i get information such as size in a terminal [21:58] Walkbo: Ouch! Painful... Accidental working is nice, sometimes, though. =) [21:59] H4nta: sorry mate, I can't really help then [21:59] patmaddox: whichever one the installer gives you .. for now. [21:59] .. on a file* [21:59] jarco: I'm showing NTFS drives 'open' that aren't open. [21:59] Sajuta: I'm just a little embarrassed, but I'm glad the "issue" was resolved. Sorry to waste your time. Thanks again for your help though! [21:59] XLV: thank you [21:59] I am having trouble getting a mic to record on Ubuntu 8.10 I had it working in 7.10 but can't seem to get it to work now, I have a Sound Blaster I don't remember what model [21:59] does anyone know if there is a channel for thunderbird? [21:59] does anybody have any idea why my "save session" isn't working? [21:59] ng0n, you mostly don`t need to defra your disks just don fill them up to 95 percent and so.. [21:59] Walkbo: No problem. Why did you compile, though? I nabbed it from the repos. [21:59] ArShAm, theres even a free vm program, instead of vmware http://www.virtualbox.org/ [21:59] nikolam. understood. [21:59] i dunno a solution ng0n i just kniow it doesnt need to be defragmented :p i does it by itself every once in a while [21:59] ArShAm, use that [22:00] XLV: virtualbox does not have a usb support [22:00] jarco. right o. after 25 mounts. [22:00] but i can't mount.. to build the count. [22:00] andrews, use lspci to determine you card model [22:00] virtualbox blows [22:00] something like that [22:00] Sajuta: I thought that's where I got mine, so I figured the latest in repos were 0.4.1 [22:00] uh, php, later [22:00] how can I convert my mp3's to wav [22:00] *gtg [22:00] o well. [22:00] i'm screwed. [22:00] Hello everybody. I haaaaaaaave a problem... Until yesterday I was running twinview with nvidia (8800gts) but it died, so I had to put in a ATI card. But my extended desktop, which is my lcd-tv won't go higher then my lcd-screens resolution. With nvidia i could run fullhd on the tv, as I was using the lcds default resolution just to work on..anyone here that knows what im talking about? [22:00] Sajuta: It's up to .4.11 on the site if you want to check it out [22:00] Walkbo: Hardy or Intrepid? Intrepid has the newer. [22:00] ArShAm, yeah, but know that vmware isnt free, only the player is.. so you cant create the initial vm to use with player afterwards [22:00] super grub wrecked me. [22:01] XLV: dd will copy the mbr? [22:01] any ideas? [22:01] does anyone know why ubuntu hangs up when i close my notebook?? [22:01] anyone who wonders about the future of Sun can look at virtualbox and see how low their standards have gotten [22:01] ok , thanks [22:01] bye [22:01] Help! I can't stop the wrong device driver from loading! blacklist failed. [22:01] Walkbo: I'm on Intrepid now and it says the latest is 0.4.1-1...? [22:01] can anyone help me with thunderbird in ubuntu? im trying to make it where it stays open all the time in the background and opens on startup [22:01] nikolam: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS [22:02] ecclesiastes, he wont boot the partition per se, he will load it on a vm... maybe it''ll need some bootblock repairing [22:02] Sajuta: wait, I typed my own name there... [22:02] Walkbo: I haven't compiled in a long while. I think I became dependent on debs. [22:02] LOL [22:02] how do I move the applets in my panel that don't have the move option when you right click (ie. Network Manager, Bluetooth, and Battery)? [22:02] Walkbo: I saw. ;) [22:02] timecist: this has nothing to do with Ubuntu, and especially not Ubuntu support. please stay on topic. === dcesiel_ is now known as highlife [22:02] any one else with connection problems to security.ubuntu.com? [22:02] KDB9000: The separator is the key to it. Unlock it and drag. [22:02] Sajuta: Anyway, I'm not too worried about it as long as it works. Now to get to remove all that junk I installed to compile. Thanks again! [22:02] ecclesiastes, but yeah, dd copies also the mbr, or partition's boot record etc [22:03] Walkbo: Welcome! [22:03] I have ATHEROS AR9281 and ath9k installed, if I install ath5k what will it happen ? [22:03] Hey guys I updated ubuntu to 8.10 and my flash sound is no longer working, could someone help me fix this or at least point me in the right direction? [22:03] Sajuta, thx. I right clicked right next to one of the icons and there was the deparator [22:03] evilspawn: There should be a 'startup' file/directory for ubuntu. There is a command line switch for starting Thunderbird minimized. [22:04] KDB9000: You're welcome.

[22:06] nikolam: thanks for trying. but here it doesn't work. the connection times out (server ip is 91.189.88.37) [22:07] joaopinto: because if i removed it, that broke the whole installation, not even allowing me to log in.. found that out hte hard way [22:07] comrademikhail, you disabled pulseaudio ?

[22:27] comrademikhail, not just the main folder, but all the folders which are in the main folder [22:27] oops, nyvhax, chmod -R perm /path/to/folder [22:27] Help!

[23:42] it appears that I am having nameserver issues with my vpn connection. resolv.conf gets updates, and nslookup notices the changes, but nothing else does. Any idea how to force the change to propagate? [23:42] RAdams: same wifi card as before [23:42] chrziz: try and set the router to G only [23:42] what happened to the gimmie panel applet? [23:43] chrziz; you may need to set the router up specially to broadcast b/g instead of N .. [23:43] RAdams: thanks I will try that [23:43] RAdams; you're on the right path. i'll let you solve his issues :) [23:43] carlinhos: please state the model of your laptop and your specific problem and post your xorg.conf to pastebin. [23:43] basid_raZor: I have it set on Auto right now [23:43] thanks RAdams, i am new here [23:44] RAdams: update-grub reports no directory for GRUB. That's probably because Grub is actually at /media/disk/boot/grub (I'm running from the live CD) [23:44] paste all here but not xorg? [23:44] RAdams: There any way I can specify a custom dir? [23:44] !gimmie [23:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about gimmie [23:44] bastid_raZor: thanks for the suggestion as well, i will tryi t [23:44] Maltor124: can you mount the disk you want to boot from? [23:45] Maltor124: nevermind.. stupid question. can you check to see that that partition is marked as bootable? [23:45] ecclesiastes_: Yeah, I was gonna say it's already mounted. Okay, checking. [23:45] RAdams: my laptop is MSI PR300 and i want resolution on my screen of 22" of 1680x1050 and i dont know how to configure it [23:46] hey everyone, since upgrading to 8.10, any sound via alsa is just a crackle? is this a known issue? [23:46] ryanakca, i couldn't find any hal scripts on my machine - so i did some searching and found this http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#plugandplay creating the symlink works just right, thanks again :) [23:46] Maltor124: oh, that's why. Yes, grub will get borked routinely when running from the live cd, because the automagic kernel updater for grub doesn't expect that. You will have to patch grub manually each time you install a new kernel, and stop the automagic updates [23:47] Maltor124: there might be a way to redirect it, the silly way would be to softlink it in the real /boot directory [23:47] ecclesiastes_: I can't find where it is, where exactly would I find that info? [23:47] Maltor124: RAdams has the answer [23:47] carlinhos: what video card? [23:47] crud, im using SFTP (openSSH) to connect to my box, it only has public key authentication enabled, i have disconnected the external network (for security) how can i temporarily enable password authentication ( i forgot :( ) [23:48] how much space does a normal ubuntu install take up? [23:48] RAdams: Uh, maybe you misunderstood, my real Linux install is on the hard drive. I am just using this for recovery purposes. THis would apply anyway..? [23:48] rebel_kid: change your sshd.conf [23:48] RAdams: I for got to tell you that I can connect to the network through Vista on the same computer, so do you think switching to G-only would still help? [23:48] Maltor124: yes, i did misunderstand [23:48] RAdams, change what specifically [23:48] !requirements [23:48] hi, is there a way to clear all cache in ram? [23:48] Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [23:48] chrziz: try it [23:48] RAdams: this video card Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [23:48] rebel_kid: Im actaully trying to do the opposite, i WANT key, not password for my sshd, but cant seem to figure out how to do that in the config [23:48] carlinhos: one moment [23:49] rebel_kid: hold on, looking, been awhile [23:49] RAdams: thanks for the help! === tonswin is now known as tonsofpcs [23:49] RAdams, also that file is not located [23:49] RAdams: sure, thanks a lot [23:49] Maltor124: Im looking ... [23:49] LF|Irssi, found it, heres the article i used to set it up http://www.howtoforge.com/set-up-ssh-with-public-key-authentication-debian-etch [23:49] ecclesiastes_: Alright, thanks a lot. [23:49] LF|Irssi, its for debian but debian == preconfigured debian for the most part [23:50] rebel_kid: /etc/ssh/ssh_config, change PasswordAuthentication to True [23:50] ty RAdams [23:50] rebel_kid: yes, not true, sorry [23:50] Although true might work... [23:50] ok rebel_kid ty [23:50] 2 of the main advantages for linux over windows i thought were: 1. stability/reliability/control/speed, ie always being able to tell the computer what to do, no runaway processes eating up all rsources maing thre machine unrepsonsive. 2. programmer convenience, package salways working. yeah some packages dont work for windows but do on linux but hey it is often the other way around too. #### Im running on vmware and i dont have a supercomp [23:50] RAdams, what i meant by that is that setup for many things is the same [23:50] Firefox continues to repeatedly take over the whole desktop hiding my upper and lower panel, anyone else having this issue [23:50] Maltor124: can you run GParted? the partion editor? [23:51] That happened to me once, mzuverink [23:51] brandon_, it happens to me 3 out of 4 times [23:52] I believe it /might/ have been fixed by right clicking on... oh, wait, it's not visible... [23:52] Oh, wait [23:52] carlinhos: does the monitor show up in the screen resolution utility under System --> Preferences? [23:52] ecclesiastes_: From the live CD? It's at Administration > Partition Editor, right? [23:52] Try alt-tabbing into another window [23:52] <_abbe_> can anyone tell me what to when I get this error message i synaptic "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault" when I try to remove envyng-qt package ?? I can reinstall it but nor remove it :( [23:52] Maltor124: Yeah.. we're just going to look for now [23:52] Then right-clicking on the firefox icon in the lower taskbar and clicking 'move' [23:53] Or... if that doesn't work, try using the alt key and the arrow keys to get to it from there [23:53] I... think that works on Linux... [23:53] Er... no it doesn't [23:53] RAdams: no, it shows perfecto on laptop, 1280... but not enough on my screen, 1378x768 and i need 1680x1050. I think i need configure xorg but i dont know how [23:53] ecclesiastes_: Okay, there's only /dev/sda1 [23:53] nvidia-settings crashes when trying to save to x configuration file after enabling a second monitor, using nvidia-glx-new. Can anyone tell me how to find out what it is trying to write to the xorg.conf so I can add it myself? [23:53] Aha, Alt+F7 [23:53] See if that works..? [23:53] carlinhos: okay, are you attempting to run dual display, or just single? [23:54] ecclesiastes_: It's on ext3, mountpoint is /media/disk, size is 300GB, used is 5.9GB, it's flagged as boot. [23:54] RAdams: dual is no need. Just need 22" at home, and laptop outside [23:54] Any way to monitor laptop fans speed and internal temp in 8.10 ? [23:55] why is update-manager telling me it is going to update blacklisted packages? [23:55] chad1; lm-sensors [23:55] mzuverink: Oh... try f11, that's full-screen mode [23:55] Hello does anyone know of any good pep band songs/marches? [23:55] carlinhos: ok, you need to set the modeline then. google your-monitor-model modeline, e.g. Samsung SyncMaster 910t modeline [23:55] !offtopic | JaJA_9_6_1995 [23:55] bastid_raZor: thanks [23:55] JaJA_9_6_1995: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:55] <_abbe_> can anyone tell me what to when I get this error message i synaptic "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault" when I try to remove envyng-qt package ?? I can reinstall it but nor remove it [23:56] RAdams: i'll try it. wait a minute [23:56] _abbe_: That means that dpkg crashed [23:56] Maltor124: OK ... at least we know it isn't that .. [23:56] Maltor124: it has a mountpoint? [23:56] * Flare183 is available to help [23:57] ecclesiastes_: Yep, at media/disk (or just / when I'm on the real install) [23:58] <_abbe_> okej thanks looking on the web for some sulotion [23:59] anybody know how to get the wireless network, signal strength, Distro name, and Version displayed on conky? I tried #conky, but it's dead [23:59] Maltor124: I found this : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linuxquestions.org-member-success-stories-23/grub-howto-and-troubleshooter-237511/ [23:59] RAdams: is this ok? at the moment i just found this: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/radeon-hd-2600-pro-%2B-hanns-g-hg216d-in-xorg.c/#post-1318812
