Check bugs.ubuntu.com [00:04] rrr [00:04] millertime_018: /usr/share/applications [00:05] where are apt-get packages downloaded to [00:05] Jacolyte: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [00:05] thanks [00:06] :D [00:07] I'm having a problem with all sounds, regardless of source, clicking and buzzing. This is with Ubuntu 8.04, using the onboard sound (Nvidia chipset) on my motherboard. Switching from PulseAudio to ALSA and back doesn't help. Oddly enough, holding down Alt+Tab to rapidly switch windows makes the sound (temporarily) stabilize, but nothing else does. Any ideas? [00:07] hi [00:07] why the comunication are saved on the web http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ ?????????? [00:07] Cedric__: So people can go through the archives to find answers to their problems, probably. [00:08] I upgraded to hardy, now I only have one cpu. What gives? ;) [00:08] <__iron> jrib i joined [00:08] ok [00:08] entropius: I had a similar issue and running alsamixer and muting the cd channel stopped it - it might be a diff channel for you [00:09] Does anyone in here get very slow connection? [00:09] favro: okay, I'll try that. It doesn't sound like background noise, though -- it sounds like a desynchronization issue, since after I stop something from playing, the clicks continue for a few seconds [00:09] __iron: the folks there are usually very helpful, go ahead and tell them what you are looking for. The page ubottu gave you also tells you other ways to contact the MOTU, including the mailing list [00:09] I refuse to believe that I'm the only person having trouble with internet on Ubuntu [00:10] randomnickname: probably not the only one in the world [00:10] but it's not a common problem i'd say [00:10] <__iron> k jrib [00:10] entropius: that sounds like a buffers issue [00:10] i jsut fixed my internet [00:10] I've tried disabling ipv6 [00:10] Favro: That's what I thought, too. [00:10] slow network connection could be may things [00:10] jrib Flannel: Thanks for all your help. I need to go though [00:10] Favro: Any ideas about how to fix it?

[00:12] hi all, I started to have a problem. My screenlets stopped working with compiz on, and steam with wine with compiz or composite On + metacity doesn't render.Anyone has any idea? [00:12] randomnickname: Generally a software problem with the network will cause you to have no connection at all, rather than a slow connection. I'd guess it's something else that's making it slow. [00:12] it certainly is Ubuntu [00:12] Do you have any other computers on your network doing large transfers? [00:13] i'm trying to "apt-get source ffmpeg" but getting the error "E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hardy_restricted_source_Sources - open (2 No such file or directory)" [00:13] :< [00:13] what is should I try beside blacklisting ipv6?

[00:13] i added medibuntu to repositories [00:13] hey I have ubuntu installed on a partitioned drive and ubuntu doesn't automatically mount the first partition on startup. how do i add something to startup so that it will? [00:14] nikre: you don't need the source to install it from medibuntu [00:14] millertime_018: is it ntfs? [00:14] fajaloui: it has vista on it [00:14] randomnickname: run ping www.google.com at a prompt and see what the times are [00:14] millertime_018: then it's ntfs [00:14] !ntfs | millertime_018 [00:14] millertime_018: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [00:15] how can i force apt-get to download from medibuntu ? [00:15] nikre: you have to add it to the repos [00:15] i did [00:15] nikre: you need to add a source repo for medibuntu, you likely only have binary [00:15] hmm [00:15] nikre: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [00:16] it says unknown host [00:16] nikre, medibuntu names it's packages as later releases than ubuntu, so it's automatic [00:16] there's a special case for ffmpeg [00:16] !medibuntu [00:16] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:16] nikre: nope [00:16] for example i cant use lame lib with normal install [00:17] or i will learn stg now [00:17] :) [00:17] what is a good cd/dvd drive emulator for linux? [00:17] nikre: pastebin 'apt-cache policy ffmpeg' [00:17] ok [00:17] !iso | armrp [00:17] armrp: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

Any help would be immensely appreciated. :) [00:19] I changed my ubuntu setup to look like the mac... [00:19] now nothing works [00:19] how do I switch back? [00:19] entropius: seems you need to reinstall the nvidia drivers [00:20] favro: hrm, how do I do that? I take it it's not as simple as mucking around with apt... [00:20] I think I may have made a mistake when clearing out the /boot for the new kernel(out of space) when I boot up now it says "error 15: file not found press any key to continue" at which I'm given a list of kernels to choose from (grub menu) any way I can fix this? [00:20] Hi guys, I need to know if the Epson C42 works out of the box in hardy. I see that is supported by gutenprint driver, but I need to know if it works out of the box, just plugin it in. [00:22] I have camera on /dev/video1 how to record it? [00:22] x1250, check cups.org and see if its supported there.. if it is - then it should work fine. You could alwyas test with a live cd i guess, but im not too sure how well the live cd supported printers differ from a full install. [00:22] how do I change my login window via text? [00:23] imaginativeone, the 'gdm' login manager has a config file you can edit with a text editor.. if you are carefull. Depending on what you are wanting to change [00:23] entropius: I wouldn't know :) [00:24] imaginativeone, you're supposed to put any alterations you want into /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom , rather than edit gdm.conf [00:25] can someone help me out with this simple script? I just need to install all .deb files within a given dir: http://pastebin.com/m1800e104 [00:26] Jacolyte, why not just use sudo dpkg -i *deb ? [00:26] lmao [00:26] didn't think of that [00:26] haha [00:26] thanks [00:26] does adobe make photoshop cs3 for linux? [00:26] armrp, no [00:26] Jacolyte, that may or may not work depending on the # of debs. [00:26] I have 17 [00:26] debs [00:27] Jacolyte, doing them one at a time may not work since some may depend on the others also. [00:27] Jacolyte: that'll be fine [00:27] * nickrud forgets what the command line limit is [00:27] armrp: not that i know off those guyz are too noob for that XD [00:27] can anyone tell me the best window manager for mobile computing? [00:27] nickrud: any good replacements? [00:27] Jacolyte, 17 should be fine... 170+ could be an issue. :) [00:27] armrp, many say gimp is, others say it shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath [00:27] armrp: but you should be able to run it from wine or crossover but do check their sites first [00:27] I don't have a vmlinuz anymore in my /boot is there a way to fix this? [00:27] So, if I have 17, and some might depend on eachother... doing sudo dep i- *.deb wouldn't make dependancies an issue? [00:27] favro: thanks, I grabbed the driver from nvidia and am trying to get it to work [00:27] All I have is a initrd.img [00:28] Jacolyte: well, if they depend on each other, that's the way to do it. [00:28] Gman99999, 'mobile computing' is a little vague. the 'matchbox' windowmanager/desktop is desogned for palm type devices. [00:28] sudo dpkg -i *.deb [00:28] k [00:28] anyone know of a good way to convert .pdf to .doc with anything in the repos? [00:28] thanks Flannel :D [00:28] Jacolyte, that will resolve those dependencies for you [00:28] Jacolyte: If they have other depends, use gdebi [00:28] Dr_willis which one has the best power saving capabilities? [00:28] biouser: openoffice maybe?.. i don't know.. never tried it. [00:28] Jacolyte, if package A depends on B and you install them both at the same time from the same command line. its smart enough to see that the dependccy is satified. [00:28] cool [00:28] gsd, sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) should put it back [00:29] nickrud: I can't get back in the system. [00:29] Ha ha! [00:29] It worked! [00:29] :D [00:29] Gman99999, thats not really a 'feature' of any of the window managers/desktops. some do have tools to controll various powersaving features.. gnome and kde both have those tools. [00:29] IndyGunFreak: yeah, I should probably just ignore job postings that say to submit resume in "word format" when I have a bomb type-set resume that I compile to pdf... [00:29] nickrud: I'm given a "error 15: file not found" upon boot. [00:29] Dr_willis: so thats how you do it... ahhh now i find out :/ [00:29] gsd, you could download the kernel deb in the live cd, then use dpkg -x to extract the deb and then manually place the files. [00:30] Dr_willis wouldn't xfce be better for power saving? since it uses less system resources? [00:30] biouser: well, do what you want i'm just saying, thats the only thing ic ould think of,a nd i'm not reall;y sure if it would work [00:30] Pirate_Hunter, :) ive found it pays to read some of the rather legenthy apt-get docs and guides out there. some neat tricks buried in them!~ Argh! buried treasure in the docs Matey! [00:30] is there a command that lists out one's partition schema? [00:30] Gman99999, using less ram wont really save much power.. but use what you want. If you like xfce then use it. [00:30] gsd, alternatively, chroot into the install after booting the live cd and then run the apt-get [00:31] freeflowcauvery, 'sudo fdisk -l' [00:31] Uhh filled ram requires refreshing [00:31] nickrud: I only have the kubuntu live cd, I'm not sure if that has it but I will check. [00:31] Dr_willis: true but they are soooo boring and long and no pictures - jk [00:32] Pirate_Hunter: where can i find crossover? [00:32] Jacolyte, i would be suprised if that script you did even worked at all.. doing 'sudo bash' in a script.. seems sooo wrong.. [00:32] armrp: codeweavers.com [00:33] ok thanks...how do i report spam? i am getting annoying pm's [00:33] morning [00:33] armrp: #freenode... but hey are aware of the problem [00:33] Dr_willis: i'm not sure if seems is even the right word - it violates every best practice for bash scripting out there :\ [00:33] If I have a template variable that is a tuple, is there a way to print the first element from the template, eg {{ myVar[0] }} [00:34] Daisuke_Laptop, it dosent work either. Since it spawns a new shell that takes over.. so the rest of the script dosent get ran as root.. it dosent get ran till after the root shell exits. [00:34] Dr_willis, I thought so hahaha [00:35] I just had a really good idea for 8.10. A wlan cracking feature could be implemented into networkmanager. That way, connecting to encrypted wlans would be easier for newcomers to Linux. [00:35] ha sorry, wrong channel [00:35] mid5: abuelo! [00:35] Dr_willis: isn't it good practice not to use sudo in a script period? [00:35] and what's with the spam today? [00:35] when creating a gpg key, do i need to do anything special to be able to use it? [00:35] Daisuke_Laptop, depends on the script i imagine. :) [00:36] tonedef most people use three partitions: / /home and linux-swap [00:36] add it to my gpg keyring or something [00:36] i keep getting gpg key not found [00:36] How do I find the folder where all my programs are stored, like the "Program Files" folder in Windows [00:37] armrp: There isn't "one" folder, there's a number. What are you looking for? [00:37] armrp, linux dosent work that way. :) [00:37] anyone? [00:37] gpg [00:37] ever heard of it [00:37] Linux doesn't use lazy files [00:37] Ktorrent [00:37] anyone know how i can fix the right shift of the screen? [00:37] im downloading a torrent and it defaults to transmission but i want it to use ktorrent [00:37] linux does seem a bit unorganized [00:37] compared to windows [00:37] !gpg [00:37] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [00:38] johnny05: using it for mail? [00:38] is there a log I can look at to tell when I last logged in? [00:38] tenbytes, compared to the stuff ive seen windows try to do... linux is very organized. [00:38] armrp: Set your preferred applications through the preferences menu [00:38] i don't see how [00:38] files are all over the place for one program [00:39] How is it that I am able to rename /home/user/Desktop to home/user/foobar and it still knows that foobar is the desktop folder? [00:39] oh thanks Flannel [00:39] tenbytes: system files in c:\windows, c:\windows\system, c:\windows\system32, c:\Program Files\Common Files, etc, etc [00:39] nickrud: Hey, so I was able to boot up into kubuntu I've mounted my /boot to a folder and the only things that exist in it are the initrd.img, I'm not exactly sure how to chroot. [00:39] that's not organized [00:39] it's all in c:\windows though [00:39] komputes: inodes [00:39] anv [00:39] gsd, magic [00:39] you must have missed where i mentioned program files [00:39] see /etc/bin/ [00:39] Mythril: aha [00:39] /usr/bin/ [00:40] /usr/local/bin [00:40] blah [00:40] i am trying to see all of the windows share in ubuntu. Currently i have to go to smb://down/users to see the share, but i used to be able to just navigate to smb://down and everything would show up... How can i make it so that everything thing shared on the downstairs is viewable to me under smb://down? [00:40] tenbytes: it's different, yes [00:40] deeperror: magic? [00:40] i may learn its organize after i learn what everything does [00:40] Mythril: I knew it was something low level like that, or something in gconf-editor [00:40] tenbytes: but after a bit, it starts to make a lot of sense [00:40] yeah [00:40] hey how do i mount a partition through the terminal? [00:40] i like linux more then windows [00:40] midgard_: You there? [00:40] especially since i learnt of wine ;d [00:41] tenbytes: it threw me for a loop at first [00:41] Mythril: so the desktop directory has a static inode assigned to it and therefore nomatter if you change the name of Desktop dir it will always know that THAT is the desktop dir [00:41] phoenixz, yes, it's work, thanks [00:41] good nigth [00:41] komputes: actually it will probably break if you log out and log back in [00:41] Mythril: why is that? [00:42] how do i manually mount a partition? [00:42] komputes: because the inode is most likely not stored anywhere but in memory [00:42] Mythril: I know that if you install another language the name changes.. i.e. French Desktop -> Bureau [00:42] Mythril: how would that not break it? [00:42] how do i mount a partition from the terminal?!?!?! [00:43] ;oinlkasdfoainalkdjviaugahga [00:43] a;oisdvna [00:43] millertime_018: man mount [00:43] komputes: yes manually mount [00:43] !patience > millertime_018 [00:43] millertime_018, please see my private message [00:43] no man = manual command [00:43] to look at the manual [00:43] komputes: you might want to ask in the gnome channel, but I'm pretty sure Desktop is just a regular old folder [00:43] Has anyone ever used ^x^y to replace a character in a bash command? [00:43] Anyone know where I can find the kernel files on the livecd [00:43] ? [00:44] komputes: they might do some extra tracking but I doubt it [00:44] It only replaces the first instance of that character/pattern, I'm trying to figure out how to make it replace all instances [00:44] komputes: how does it work? just enter "no man" into the terminal? [00:44] as boot ubuntu 8.4 in the way of simple user? [00:44] millertime_018: enter "man mount" in the terminal [00:44] i am trying to see all of the windows share in ubuntu. Currently i have to go to smb://down/users to see the share, but i used to be able to just navigate to smb://down and everything would show up... How can i make it so that everything thing shared on the downstairs is viewable to me under smb://down? [00:45] millertime_018: generally, its "man " to view the manual page for that command [00:45] Mythril: I'll change the name of Desktop and log back in to let you know if it borks it up [00:45] komputes: an experimentalist I see [00:45] ? [00:45] Mythril: you know it!!! [00:46] someone could tell me how do I start the ubuntu 8.4 text mode [00:46] hi all [00:46] millertime_018: you need to create a folder/directory to be used as a "mount point" then you do "mount /dev/device_name /mountpoint/whereevert_that_may_be" [00:46] Ich need some help for Ubuntu [00:46] I need WLAN on my Laptop [00:46] FAJALOU1, it has been some time since I used samba, but if I remember correctly, you have to share your directories for them to be viewable, and those directories you are sharing should be viewable on smb://down [00:47] Detch: ctrl alt f1 to get to a tty, ctrl alt f7 to get back to graphical [00:47] Hi, I will be using dialup next week. I usually use AOL to connect to the phone line. Is there a Linux alternative? [00:47] FAJALOU1, is to install the drive nvidia [00:47] chuy_max: the files i am trying to see are shared (ie Public) but i still have to manually type in the whole line out [00:47] can anyone help me please?? [00:48] Detch: do it through hardware drivers [00:48] millertime_018: "sudo mount /dev/foo /mnt" would mount the device "foo" in the directory /mnt [00:48] nevermind i'll just mount it manually every time i start ubuntu [00:48] I start in single user mode [00:48] i'm having a lot of trouble setting up my bluetooth usb dongle [00:48] hey guys, what fstab options should I set for a 100M ext2 /boot partition? [00:48] awag, hardy? [00:48] i've run through a few tutorials but the device just doesn't show up [00:48] Detch: System>Administration>hardware drivers then check nvidia [00:48] chuy_max: yes [00:48] dsrguru, the defaults should be fine I imagine. [00:49] Dr_willis: would noatime and/or nodiratime be okay to add? [00:49] awag, mmm, my dongle worked out of the box [00:49] awag, I had troubles with feisty though [00:49] but not with hardy [00:49] chuy_max: yeah, that is another thing that is upsetting, most of the tutorials are filled with responses with people saying things like "oh weird, mine worked out of the box" :) [00:49] dsrguru, You could use them i guess.. but i doubt if it will matter much. /boot only gets used a littel at boot tiem and thats it.. so i dont see what you will gain much. Some disrtos dont even mount /boot they keep it unmounted to keep it safe [00:50] FAJALOU1, I want to install the drive native of nvidia because it indicated that problems with [00:50] Dr_willis: okay thx [00:50] wow so much has gone by since i went downstairs, dang [00:50] i'm going to check and see if it will work on my other machine that has hardy on it also [00:50] Dr_willis: if some distros don't even mount it, should I do noauto? [00:50] dsrguru, doing that way may break 'updating' the kernel from the package manager. [00:51] Dr_willis: k [00:51] So the website with the linux alternatives to window programs... i've misplaced it. what is it? [00:51] dsrguru, for some reason gentoo dosent mount /boot as a 'security' thing.. not sure how its any more secure.. [00:51] Detch: System>Administration>hardware drivers then check nvidia [00:51] ok I'll just use defaults [00:52] dsrguru, im not sure whatyou even gain by having a /boot seperately any more.. other then some systems needing it for raid/other setups [00:52] i'm with a problem to install AWN... when i'm doing ./configure, I get this error: No package 'glib-2.0' found; No package 'gobject-2.0' found; No package 'gtk+-2.0' found; No package 'gdk-2.0' found; No package 'libwnck-1.0' found; No package 'gconf-2.0' found"... so, i've googled it and I have found that i must install libgtk and libgtk-dev packages. And it doesn't work, too. I get a similar error... [00:52] Dr_willis: I'm using a MacBook with GUID/EFI [00:52] Dr_willis: and I'm using my fourth partition for LVM [00:52] What should I do? [00:52] dsrguru, totally beyond my experience then. Good Luck. :) [00:52] Yamaneko: is there a reason why you aren't using the one from the reps? [00:52] first is for efi, second for osx, third for /boot, and fourth for lvm [00:52] k [00:53] I'll just use defaults for /boot then [00:53] FAJALOU1, this drive when enter into standby mode you must restart the machine [00:53] thx [00:53] chuy_max: what brand do you have? i'm beginning to think i might have bought something that just sucks [00:53] detch? [00:54] FAJALOU1, as if the machine hangs [00:54] this machine is reboot [00:54] FAJALOU1: Yes... when I try it, I get errors with this packages: libawn0-bzr, libpango1.0-0 === Exteris is now known as Exteris^ === Exteris^ is now known as Exteris [00:55] Is there some way to recover from the partition resizer in the installer whiping my allocation table for ntfs? [00:55] Detch: ok then try using a failsafe option( when you login where it says sessions) and try one of those and then hardware drivers etc. [00:55] Hey guys, I'm having a few wifi issues. The card worked fine in Feisty, (pcmcia in an old Toshiba) but I've just installed hardy (server install) and everything seems to be setup right, card is see etc but when I try and bring it up it just wont do anything. Activity light wont light up. Any ideas on where I could start troubleshooting? [00:55] FAJALOU1: It says this packages cannot be installed... [00:55] Yamaneko: try installing those seperately.... like sudo apt-get install libawn0-bzr libpango1.0-0 [00:56] FAJALOU1: All right... [00:56] awag, mine is a chinese brandless dongle (it is true, the box doesn't display a name), lsusb reports this: Elan Microelectronics Corp. [00:56] FAJALOU1, No grub does not have this option'm using ubuntu 8.04 [00:56] where does AWN store its applet directory? i do not have a ~/.avant like i thought it would create [00:56] awag, it can't be worse than that [00:56] Detch: no when you get to the login screen... [00:57] Hello, my laptop keyboard (hardy heron, all updated) sometimes (often times..) gets locked up and I cant type, or use the mouse. everything else still works as normal. all i can do is ctrl alt backspace... any ideas? ^^ [00:57] bastid_raZor, its in .config [00:57] I understand no longer see [00:57] Dr_willis; thanks. [00:58] are there no logs that keep track of when a user logs in or out? [00:58] chuy_max: on my other machine it shows up, which means something is messed up on this machine, i have the bluetooth module installed and stuff, and apt-get installed all the stuff in the tutorials [00:58] awag, maybe usb? [00:59] awag, does lsusb reports your card? [00:59] How do I connect my bluetooth keypad? [00:59] I want to type NUMBERS [00:59] uhoh, it's a bluetooth party [00:59] FAJALOU1:So, I get this message: sudo apt-get install libawn0-bzr; libawn0-bzr cannot be installed 'cause it depends of libpango1.0-0. So, I've tried to install libpango1.0-0 and it says I already have the newest version... [01:00] hi can any one direct me to a fix or howto for User Settings, after installing User Profile Editor I could not anymore add user [01:00] chuy_max: let me check that [01:00] I did some research, hidd --connect 00:18:A3:00:28:FD, that just hangs [01:00] Yamaneko: try reinstalling it, and then if that doesn't work, try using aptitude instead of apt-get [01:00] hciattach 00:18:A3:00:28:FD, well that isn't even correct... [01:00] i had a question regarding wubi [01:00] i am not sure how to install internet in wubi [01:01] or plug internet in wubi [01:01] !wubi [01:01] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [01:01] FAJALOU1: You mean remove libpango1.0-0 and reinstall it via aptitude? [01:01] Oh wait, hciattach I think is for serial devices [01:01] FAJALOU1, after verification is necessary to install and do something? [01:01] !? [01:01] detch again what? [01:01] hi, guys, I hope someone can help. All of a sudden i dont have most of my applets on my panel - I mean at the top right, near the time and date. I used to have CheckGmail and now it's nowhere, I start it but it's not there. Also, stuff like Pidgin or aMule will work but will not be minimized there. The date and the search thingy are there. I hope someone knows what is going on, thank you a lot [01:02] is there any way to get configure commandlines with synaptic? Specifically, I would like to pass --disable-nm to pidgin but i would prefer not to have to compile it every time it updates [01:02] and i don't want to take a risk with the iso files [01:02] that is why i am doing this [01:03] can anyone tell me what i can do? [01:03] casao: the only option is to find a repository with pidgin patched that way. Ubuntu is a binary distribution, and don't have that option I'm afraid. [01:03] pleassee heeelpppp [01:03] i was afraid of that [01:03] i think that's more trouble then just manually connecting pidgin when i go over my phone [01:04] please write the name of the person who you are reffering to [01:04] because i can't understand [01:04] are lastlog and wtmp encrypted or something? [01:05] casao: you could check out gentoo, that is a source distribution, and have possibilites like that. But it's more work getting it installed tho [01:05] yeah, i'm sticking to ubuntu [01:05] was just hoping it would be an easy option somewhere [01:05] oh well [01:05] hi, guys, I hope someone can help. All of a sudden i dont have most of my applets on my panel - I mean at the top right, near the time and date. I used to have CheckGmail and now it's nowhere, I start it but it's not there. Also, stuff like Pidgin or aMule will work but will not be minimized there. The date and the search thingy are there. Im on Ubuntu Hardy 64. I hope someone knows what is going on, thank you a lot [01:06] Does anyone know anything about NetworkManager's supposed incoming phone tethering support? The source I see is the pidgin ticketing tracker and it says 0.17 will support it, but synaptic lists networkmanager as v 0.6.6, so versioning numbers are weird [01:06] FAJALOU1, in ubuntu is a notification that the drive can not be supported by ubuntu [01:06] Mythril: and I'm back [01:06] lorenzo_: sounds to me like you removed the notifications panel, right click the bar, goto add panel and select notifications panel [01:06] Mythril: all good, with my desktop dir called foobar [01:06] wos is denn? [01:06] guys is there paltalk for linux ? or a way to install it in ? [01:06] chuy_max: hey, lsusb shows the adapter, it shows it as three separate devices [01:07] <-RETARD - why cant i find xchat, it is installed x| [01:07] casao: thanks! it worked. I wonder how I did that without realizing it, very odd [01:07] pls. [01:07] djGreenBuds: Can you run it from the command line? [01:08] maybe [01:08] djGreenBuds: it should be under internet i believe, but konversation is a lot nicer of an irc client [01:08] casao, that's what i read, but it is not [01:08] casao: konversation is not a native gtk app [01:09] genii: no, and gtk/qt stupidity is the biggest downfall of linux, being forced to choose along partylines instead of selecting the best app for the job [01:09] awag, that's weird [01:09] casao: I agree [01:09] guys, is there a way to install Paltalk for Ubuntu ? <--- [01:09] foxhound: wine will probably do it [01:09] casao: You aren't tried to a particulr toolkit. QT programs run fine in gnome, and v.v. [01:10] awag, maybe your usb is somehow messed, perhaps you can try a mouse usb, or some other usb device and check if it also reports several devices [01:10] casao: thx [01:10] Hey, this is a noob question, but how can I change my terminal colors? [01:10] Flannel: yes, i know, and i'm running kde apps in gnome, the fact that the two seperate things exist and it does affect people's decisions is annoying [01:10] earlier it was a .. gtk theme i think that ran the qt engine. Basically, the result was that both had mostly the same look (except for some small bugs) [01:10] chuy_max: i'm using my usb mouse, it reports only one device [01:11] Flannel: The reason I mentioned it as not being a native gtk app is since many are running marginal hardware for having to also load the QT libraries on top of the gtk ones just to run for instance something like konversation [01:11] yeah, i'm very happy with my netbook remix [01:11] casao: Competition/choice is good, but this is getting offtopic. You're welcome to bring it to #ubuntu-offtopic, and we can talk more about it there if you'd like. [01:11] Is it possible to theme gnome-screensaver's lock screen, just like it is possible to theme GDM's login screen? [01:11] awag, try the dongle in the mouse port [01:11] hey flannel !!! [01:11] can anyone help me please?? I have WLAN Problem on my Laptop [01:11] remember me ?:p [01:11] hi guys, Im with a problem.... I have an atheron wlan card, ubntu says its using propietary drivers but i cant connect with it to the net... how do i do that?? [01:11] Howdy foxhound. Glad you got it installed. [01:11] im talking to you from ubuntu now :D [01:11] thx alot [01:13] its really good, i think i'll dump windows faster than i thought [01:14] no idea about the atheros wireless card? [01:14] cata - do you have network manager installed? [01:14] Hi, Where would I find commands on how to copy a directory to another folder? [01:14] Does that Targus Keypad work with linux? === [\dan\] is now known as \\dan\\ [01:15] cata: are you perhaps using a netbook? Anyway, Atheros needs the madwifi drivers, you can install them and they should let it work, network manager can handle it then [01:16] cata check the network connections 1st [01:16] casao, yes i have neetwork manager and i think i dont have madwifi installed [01:16] chuy_max: still three devices show up, let me check again on the machine that seems like it is working with the dongle [01:16] i found that it detected my internet without installing anything [01:16] cata: madwifi are the drivers for atheros [01:16] casao, ok but in propietary drivers says im using some propietary drivers and still cant see anythin [01:17] freaking abnormal share ratio like 10.**,20.**,30.** & i even found a freaking 50.** why would i share that much need to turn off comp [01:17] ignore that ppl wrong place "i kno i know" [01:18] Try it, but probably not. It sez you are using one [01:18] oopps [01:18] I'm sorry how d oyou change Terminal colors, I forgot to change channels back./ [01:18] casao, do i have to install madwifi and uncheck use propietary drivers and restart to get this workin? [01:19] anyone have problems running pidgin via ssh X forwarding? [01:19] chuy_max: on the machine that works, the dongle shows up as 4 devices :) [01:19] cata: i'm not entirely sure, i installed madwifi drivers myself on an atheros chipset and it worked [01:19] server irc./efnet/nl [01:19] Anyone? How do you change Terminal colors? [01:20] awag, mmm, weird, never seen that before [01:20] casao, didnt do anything else besides installing madwifi packages? [01:20] WDC: are u looking to change the background or text colors? [01:20] both [01:20] Slade: both [01:21] Slade: eh? [01:21] cata: take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessNetworking - it walks you through the process [01:22] uestion i have 7.10 should i update or update to 8.04 [01:22] HIya all have been reading about apt-get and aptitude...what is synaptic and the tray icons for upating and installing bugfixes and security upates a front end for? [01:23] Slade: Any help? [01:23] hellcattrav: They're GUI frontends, just like apt-get and aptitude are CLI frontends [01:24] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XH5gmKCeKI [01:24] lol [01:24] hellcattrav: update-manager obviously just handles updates, instead of installing newer things. [01:24] I acidentally updated hardy to intrepid. how can I roll back? [01:24] hellcattrav: that is, instead of installing new packages. Synaptic does that (and can do updates) [01:24] DEdwards: please don't paste things like that here [01:25] Flannel, ok, makes sense but aptitude I read as being superior for apt-get pertaining to uninstall of packages? [01:25] hellcattrav: The backend for most of the package systems is dpkg [01:25] Ah [01:25] hellcattrav: That's not accurate anymore, no. [01:25] can anyone help setting up a wireless printer through a 2wire modem? [01:25] so would synaptic remove all the dependies of a package too? [01:25] Flannel, its just a video about an ubuntu virus [01:25] Oh what's new then? I guess I was reading things out of date. [01:26] Is it safe to use the ubuntu wubi installer by mounting the ubuntu ISO in daemon tools [01:26] please, how can I roll back from 8.10 to 8.4LTS? [01:26] DEdwards: Yes, that's at the very least, offtopic for this channel. [01:26] hellcattrav: Synaptic is the gtk graphical GUI for apt-get.Hey. How would I install a package I've got with --download-only? [01:26] !downgrade | ivi_ [01:26] ivi_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [01:27] good point, apologies [01:27] ivi_: Additionally to tehmarz's comment, 8.04 is not a Long Term Support version [01:27] Flannel: well, it's already broken that I'm using an friggin alpha release lol [01:27] Sorry mistake [01:28] genii: What? [01:28] ivi_: Nevermind got the versions mixed, it is LTS [01:28] genii: I know it is [01:28] rockets: you don't need to mount the ISO, Wubi can be downloaded as an EXE, and which will load the ISO file and install it, if you put both in the same folder [01:28] ivi_: Well, you'll have to get real familiar with pinning package versions. You'll have an easier time reinstalling. [01:28] Flannel: I for some reason transposed 7.10 to 7.04 instead of 8.10 to 8.04 [01:28] How do I change permission of a file from root root to user user [01:28] foxhound: I'm back [01:28] ivi_, did you use separate partitions for /home and /(root) [01:29] before 8.04 partitions used to be named after the mount point, but now after 8.04 it's just generic names as "120.0 GB Media" which just confuses me. Any way to change that? [01:29] My IRC messed up there. How would I install a package I've got with --download-only? [01:29] DEdwards: no, but on the other hand that is not that a big deal [01:29] tehmarz: just apt-get install it [01:29] Flannel: Would that not try to get from the repository? [01:29] tehmarz: It'll see it has a version locally, and use that instead. [01:29] tehmarz: Assuming its still current. [01:29] Flannel: Ah, thanks a lot. [01:30] why are there 3 floodbots? [01:30] i suggest reinstall [01:30] Mecha25: because its better that way [01:30] so, you'd suggest to get a live cd and reinstall 8.04? [01:30] ok... [01:30] i always use separate /home and / partitions [01:31] ivi_, yeah [01:31] ivi_: Or an alternate CD, yeah. Reinstallation is the quickest and easiest [01:31] hm, okay [01:31] I've installed ubuntu8.04 ,but I can't get my video card to work properly(8400),how? [01:31] any one kno how to hcak a myspace [01:32] ColdSilence27: Please take that elsewhere. [01:32] ColdSilence27: you've got the wrong room [01:32] partition separately, so you don't lose data on reinstalls next time :) [01:32] Is there any way to make wifi drivers run under wine? [01:32] I've installed ubuntu8.04 ,but I can't get my video card to work properly(8400),how? [01:32] Slade: no [01:32] Slade, you don't need to, use NDISWrapper [01:32] like if i had an linux unsupported linksys wireless card, can i use wine to run the network adapter? [01:33] !wifi > Slade [01:33] Slade, please see my private message [01:33] Mecha25: tried it on my home PC. didn't do very well [01:33] Slade: ndiswrapper is a much better alternative [01:33] I've installed ubuntu8.04 ,but I can't get my video card to work properly(8400),how? [01:33] ok. [01:33] Slade: ndiswrapper is what you're looking for, I'm not sure how to make it work, but I know that's exactly what you're looking for [01:33] any idea? [01:33] lemon: What video card? [01:34] hello. i am having troubles setting permissions for a folder.. can someone help [01:34] Slade,Nvidia 8400 [01:34] lemon: system -> administration -> hardware drivers [01:34] Hi - Can't find cups driver for canon pixma ip1800 - tried the ip200 but would not print a test page - any idea'a anyone? [01:34] ptn107,it shows me nothing [01:34] lemon: install the nvidia-kernel stuffs [01:35] from the restricted modules [01:35] what does the [-r] in cp -r do, i know it means recursive but I do not get it? [01:35] Elijah: recursive means it goes down all the sub folders and files [01:35] actually that was the cups pixma ip 2000 driver [01:35] Elijah: if you use it co copy a folder, it will copy everything in that folder, instead of just the folder name [01:35] slade, thats good to know! [01:36] slade,but in the "restricted modules",it shows me nothing [01:36] Mecha25, I guess you always want to use that comman then! [01:36] Elijah: with directories, usually yeah [01:36] lemon: try a synaptic package manager search [01:36] usually [01:36] for nvidia-kernel or linux-restricted modules [01:36] slade,what's the key words? [01:36] is there a way to use ndis wrapper for canon printer driver ? ? ? [01:36] dina: no, you want CUPS [01:37] Has anyone in here had any experience in virtualizing windows inside of virtualbox? I'm gonna toss TinyXP inside and see how it runs, wondering what I'm looking at performance-wise do you think? [01:37] lemon: use the proprietary drivers instead http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.12/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1.run [01:37] dina: No, ndiswraper is only a compatability layer for network cards which have only windows drivers [01:37] What do you do when you file a dependency issue bug report, and it goes unanswered for at least a month?

[02:24] l3d: you enter the password to the PC you are connecting to, since you are logging into that PC. [02:24] l3d: make sure you put a username as tonsofpics suggested. [02:24] Hey hey. When trying to update Ubuntu I receive this error: http://i34.tinypic.com/29f8g8l.png [02:24] tonsofpcs: doesn't seem that way - however, running "pstree" shows that the pulseaudio daemon was started by gdm -> x-session-manager -> gnome-settings [02:24] WDC: Edit->Profiles [02:24] ok done [02:24] norman__: What? [02:24] norman__: Where [02:24] so maybe the system defualt is ALSA and gnome is launching the pulseaudio daemon, and not playing nice? [02:24] terminal colors [02:25] aymeba my wireless car is set on eth0, so if I leave the switch of I have to type sudo ifconfig eth0 up ... after I turn it back on [02:25] burhan, well...

[02:26] burhan: now i guess i need to figure out where/why gnome is launching pulseaudio ... which brings me back to another question: is there any harm in uninstalling pulseaudio? i don't use any of its features (that i know of, at least) [02:26] aymeba: My Thinkpad does that when the wifi switch is off [02:26] WDC: Did you file the bug report? [02:26] Flannel: No [02:26] aymeba: I don't really have a good solution without being there [02:26] derrich: seems that way [02:26] anyone know why mplayer would hang on startup right after printing 'xscreensaver_disable: Could not find XScreenSaver window.' ?? [02:26] aymeba: You may want to consult your local Linux nerd [02:26] Devourer: here its using about 2% of my 4GB RAM and average around 40 - 60% of my CPU, which is okay since I abuse my system alot :) [02:26] d4t4min3r: how set are you in using rhythmbox? [02:26] WDC: That's probably your best bet at the moment. And in the process you might find theres already a bug reported, with a workaround. [02:27] derrich: I think its recommended to disable it if you are facing audio problems. [02:27] derrich: do realize that pulseaudio is a proxy of sorts [02:27] Slade: im not sure why [02:27] qr: is the xscreensaver daemon running? [02:27] Flannel: It HAS been filed but nothing has come out of it [02:27] Slade: what would you sugest [02:27] ok now is there a gui way to connect to the other pc with ssh [02:27] derrich: no [02:27] burhan, why is it using so much CPU?! [02:27] tonsofpcs: i know it acts as a proxy - but i don't know if it's used locally or not [02:27] i cant access my login window settings, how to reset? [02:27] will someone help me with a bridge and virtualbox? I setup a bridge br0 as described in the virtual box manual. Now my VM and my linux system both get ip's from my wireless router. However, my VM can't ping my linux system, and my linux system can't ping my VM (winxp), can someone help me troubleshoot? [02:27] d4t4min3r: cause you could run other music players... XMMS, AmaroK, etc [02:27] derrich: so i'm guessing your system is set up for pulseaudio but it's crashing and when it crashes, you just see alsa directly [02:27] qr, ive notced mplayer 'hanging' for a few secs (some times 20+ sec) while trying to get Pulse Audio going. I set it to use ALSA instead of pulse and it starts up faster.. ive noticed it also seems to start up faster in other windowmanagers then gnome.. Not sure why [02:27] Devourer: probably compiz, but I really have no clue. [02:28] Slade: i tried to run amarok but it installs the older version.. amarok 2 i think it is .. is out [02:28] hows the best way to transfer files via a bluetooth connection? [02:28] d4t4min3r: try getdeb.net [02:28] d4t4min3r: ok, so download the latest version, compile and install :) [02:28] Slade: does amarok 2 do ipod [02:28] Dr_willis: ahh, interesting. I am not using gnome, but I am using pulseaudio, I'll see what using alsa gets me. [02:28] like... transfer files and stuff [02:28] tonsofpcs: the pulseaudio daemon looks like it's running ... using "mplayer -ao pulse" and "mplayer -ao alsa" both produce no sound at the moment :( [02:28] burhan, how do I know if I have compiz running? [02:28] tonsofpcs: even though using the Sound app within gnome works [02:28] derrich: kill pulse and try [02:28] Subversion reports that the client is too old to add files. :| [02:28] Does no one know how to fix this? Invalid package information [02:28] After your package information was updated the essential package 'ubuntu-minimal' can not be found anymore.

[02:57] i want to use this site in firefox miniclip.com [02:57] does ubuntu support zip extraction? [02:57] then [02:57] pawan: You can install wine, then the windows version of Firefox, and use the windows shockwave plugin. That'sa little painful though [02:57] pawan: LISTEN. YOU CANNOT USE SHOCKWAVE IN LINUX. We have said it many times [02:57] most of the miniclip games are just flash [02:57] i did that but firefox in crashing [02:57] WDC, caps [02:58] bazhang: Yah I know, but they were appropriate :) [02:58] WDC: calm down.

[03:14] yes [03:14] it's already backed up [03:14] danhs: run "pgrep sshd" and if you don't get any numbers, then it isn't running [03:14] !Restricted | Harley^ [03:14] Harley^, please see my private message [03:14] got it on a flash drive [03:15] aaron_carter: htop says it's running [03:15] pm me any one [03:15] slade, thanks, is bzip2 ro gnu zip better? [03:15] in terminal, what key combination is ^D? [03:15] komila, about what [03:15] danhs: and you didn't inadvertanly enable the firewall or install firestarter? [03:15] aaron_carter: What about if i have the file on dyskopt becuase now the command dont work [03:15] Anyone know if ktorrent has a plugin somewhere that turns torrents off and on periodically? Because doing that seems to get past the bandwidth throttling Comcast is (now illegally) doing [03:15] Gergor: dyskopt? === Alvin_FN is now known as girlll_16_cutezz [03:15] Gregor: desktop? [03:15] @bazhang [03:15] Elijah: i prefer gzip [03:15] aaron_carter: yes xd [03:15] zcat[1]: very possible. I don't know how or how I could disable it [03:15] @bazhang so what do I do next [03:15] weternal, yes [03:16] I selected the manual partition [03:16] Gregor: mv /home/Gregor/Desktop/somefile.tar.gz /var/www/ [03:16] vasilisa; you can set time limits then change them after they have reached said time limit [03:16] slade, k thanks [03:16] weternal, have you really read nothing before today on this? this is a pretty dicey deal for a new user. [03:16] oh I already have ubuntu installed on my computer [03:16] I've partitioned my own disk [03:16] bastid_raZor: Without editing the source? how do i do that :) [03:16] I'm trying to set it up for a friend [03:16] danhs: run "cat /var/syslog | grep sshd" [03:17] in terminal, what key combination is ^D?? [03:17] weternal, then what are you trying to do. [03:17] danhs: that should give you a clue to what is wrong === Alvin_FN is now known as ika_16 [03:17] ssss [03:17] I'm trying to partition the disk so that the computer will run hardy and xp in dual boot [03:17] iv english please [03:17] reportingsjr: ^D is CTRL-D [03:17] vasilisa; edit the source? you said to have some sort of on off switch for ktorrent.. ktorrent has the ability to turn torrents off after a time limit has been reached. [03:18] aaron_carter: uhhh I don't seem to have a /var/syslog file [03:18] danhs: /var/log/syslog... sorry [03:18] bastid_raZor: Oh! *peeks around* [03:18] weternal: install XP, then install Ubuntu.. just go with the default settings, it pretty much assumes 'resize windows, half and half, set grub to dual boot' by default [03:18] zcat[1]: how can I check about that firewall? [03:19] !firewall [03:19] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [03:19] que pasa aquí [03:19] bazhang I'm in the install screen for ubuntu right now and I'm trying to figure out how to partition it [03:19] hi [03:19] aaron_carter: comes up with nothing [03:19] danhs: actually I'm not sure the easiest way ;) [03:19] Are their any advantages or disadvantages to installing ubuntu on a usb drive as persistent or non persistent? [03:19] bazhang it's asking me how I want to partition the disk [03:19] A link outlining both would be helpful. [03:19] de que carajo hablan [03:19] vasilisa; to turn on a time limit in kTorrent per torrent.. left click the torrent then click status on the bottom tabs. you'll then the options to limit the torrent by share or time limit. [03:19] what do I want to do? [03:19] danhs: can you run this command "ssh localhost" [03:20] danhs: and log in? [03:20] bastid_raZor: But there's no way to make it restart without doing it manually i guess [03:20] danhs: I'd start by doing what aaron says.. make sure sshd is actually rnning on the laptop, then work on reaching it from other places [03:20] aaron_carter: yes [03:20] weternal, did you read that link? the part about manual partitioning is quite explicit. [03:20] can do it [03:21] I think I might have started ufw a while ago [03:21] vasilisa; correct, you have to change the time limit or share ratio. [03:21] I just did a synaptic search for firewall and found that that was installed.... [03:21] danhs: hmmm.. [03:21] !ufw [03:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [03:21] weternal, otherwise I am just cutting and pasting from the link, which is silly. [03:21] I'd forgotten that I might have started it a long while ago [03:21] bazhang I might have missed the link, could you send it again [03:21] guess it became a regular startup.... [03:21] I'll just read that [03:21] bastid_raZor: Then its still easily to manually turn them off and on every time they get throttled *sigh* [03:21] lemme restart laptop and see what happens [03:21] *easier [03:21] danhs: no [03:21] why? [03:21] danhs: man ufw and find out how to turn all filtering off again.. [03:21] ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list [03:21] well maybe i should open the source [03:22] vasilisa; i've never heard of a torrent application have the ability you want. [03:22] danhs: run "sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop" [03:22] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot?action=show&redirect=WindowsDualBootHowTo weternal [03:22] aaron_carter: one sec....rebooting [03:22] bastid_raZor: Its too bad, because that kicks Comcast's mangey hide [03:22] aaron_carter: how to unpack the file becuase when i use command i dont have premission to unpack the file there [03:22] aaron_carter: how are you supposed to discover processes running like ufw or something like that....just one of those things I'd forgotten.... [03:22] And gets my share ratio up, more importantly [03:22] Gregor: sudo tar xzf somefile.tar.gz [03:23] hello everybody... Please help me to get 5.1 output from my vlc player. I am using hardy. there is no 5.1 channel option in the audio menu even though the video has 5.1 channel.... Previously when i was using gusty the same video worked fine and got the 5.1 output... Please help me... [03:23] vasilisa; suggest that to the ktorrent team. you never know what they may think about it. [03:23] danhs: "pgrep " [03:23] wow [03:23] hmmm Aaron CArter eh [03:23] doing sudo ufw disable did it [03:23] vasilisa; http://ktorrent.org/ [03:23] ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list [03:23] well maybe i should open the source [03:23] I can connect again [03:23] bastid_raZor: I might look at the code myself as well nontheless ;3 [03:23] wow...unbelievable [03:23] aaron_carter: do I want to disable iptables like you were saying? [03:23] master_: As in, open it and edit it. [03:24] danhs: sounds like you found another way of doing that, so probably not needed now [03:24] Is there an easy gui app for configuring mouse buttons? [03:24] i install xbmc in a ubuntu 8.04 and the window show me only a part, if i resize the window it also resize what is inside and there are still zones that i cant see, someone know what it can be? [03:24] zcat[1]: how are you supposed to discover weird running processse like this? [03:25] zcat[1]: I'd forgotten that I had setup ufw.... [03:25] danhs: no just read up on iptables and allow localhost:22 [03:25] casao, like for theose mice with 10+ buttons? I saw a tool for that.. let me see if i can find it [03:25] Hey, I am updating Ubuntu to 8.04 and it has been hanging on "Searching for Obsolete Software" for a while. [03:25] aaron_carter: well, really I want to connect remotely using xdmcp [03:25] ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list [03:25] well maybe i should open the source [03:25] I was reading in the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf that xdmcp is somehow dangerous. but I can't figure out why/how [03:25] danhs: ufw isn't a process, it just sets ip firewall rules.. and iptables or ufw can tell you what the current rules are [03:25] Dr_willis: specifically i have the MS Optical Wireless Notebook 4000, the horizontal scroll and thumb button are what i want [03:26] zcat[1]: oh... [03:26] WDC: how long is a while? [03:26] ABout 10 minutes [03:26] ping.... can anybody help me regarding vlc 5.1 channel problem? [03:26] danhs: if you want to do remote desktop you need a better solution than xdmcp, try vnc server [03:26] I've been struggling with audio half-working for an hour or two now, and it's getting really frustrating. It looks like audio is only broken for my user account, it works just fine when I created a new user and logged in. Certain applications work fine, like firefox. Others like mplayer and amarok don't give error messages and act like they're playing audio without problems, but I never actually hear any output. The GNOME sound app [03:26] works fine, pressing "Test" produces the sustained beep through the speakers. anyone think they can help debug this? [03:27] who hepl me [03:27] WDC: I'd give it another 10 mins just to make sure it's really frozen [03:27] ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list [03:27] well maybe i should open the source [03:27] What is the gui-based process manager for gnome in ubuntu? [03:27] casao, check out http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/ btnx lets you do all sorts of neat tricks [03:27] num1_: Cool. Okay Will do [03:27] equivalent to kpm in kde [03:27] was looking for that in synaptic and didn't find it [03:27] thanks [03:27] @grab master_ [03:27] aaron_carter: what's the benefit of vnc server? [03:27] yes [03:28] Oh that doesnt work here. [03:28] last time I tried vnc server it seemed much more complex [03:28] and less powerful too [03:28] ssh -X >> vnc server [03:28] danhs: the documentation is better too [03:28] Firefishe, system manager might be what you want [03:29] the main advantage with vnc is you can get to your linux desktop from windows. Other than that I generally use ssh -X [03:29] chuckf: Thanks, I'll give it a try. [03:29] zcat[1]: it rather depends on 1. that you run X on your client, and 2. that the app will not be running when the client machine is turned off [03:29] i am struggling to get 5.1 output in vlc.please somebody help me [03:29] chuckf: What I need is a process table window. [03:29] ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list [03:29] well maybe i should open the source [03:29] chuckf: Yep, that's it. Thaks [03:30] aaron_carter: if i unpack the file how i can change the name of the folder to something that doesn't make sence to people can go there [03:30] Thanks [03:30] Firefishe, np [03:30] I am going to throw something at master in a moment [03:30] sudo mv somefile that_is_a_bad_ida [03:30] Gregor: or sudo mv somefile anotherfile [03:31] What happens when the reload repositories FAILS ? [03:31] Harley^: added a repo lately? [03:31] zcat[1]: ssh -X can do xwindows forwarding? [03:32] zcat[1]: I don't understand your question [03:32] danhs: thats what -X does [03:32] danhs: yes.. but you need to be running an X-terminal [03:32] In VLC media player there is no option for 5.1 output. Any ideas how to get around this..?:-( [03:32] <[z]neo> guys can i use fonts from win to hardy, if so how can i add my favorite fonts to ubuntu? [03:32] danhs: if you are on windows, ssh -X will not work without an X-terminal program running [03:32] danhs: yes, but as pointed out you need an xserver on the local machine to display it (so won't work for windows) and it gets a bit messy if you shut down the client without closing programs first [03:32] aaron_carter: ubuntu desktop to ubuntu lappy [03:32] hola [03:32] danhs: should work without a problem [03:32] okay [03:33] hey guys, is there a terminal command equivalent for the "hide all windows" button? [03:33] * Harley^ was told to use the instruction at http://www.monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/#enabling_extra_repositories to enable Flash to be seen on a new install of UbuntuStudio running on an AMD 64 [03:33] num1_: Still "searching" [03:33] after I do ssh -X I just do vnc to laptop address? [03:33] how do i restart mpc so it will load music i've downloaded recently [03:33] tspike: check out 'man wmctrl' maybe [03:34] how can i make a snapshot of my current system so if i screw something up i can get back to this base functional state easily? [03:34] When that instuction is followed, and I attempt to RELOAD the repostitories, there is a FAILED error [03:34] Mr_Bad_News: you don't restart your MPC or MPD [03:34] Mr_Bad_News: you have it update your library [03:34] how [03:34] Mr_Bad_News: what MPC are you using? [03:34] Harley^: hmmm. remove the repo you added, you should only need to enable universe/multiverse ... [03:34] idk [03:34] Also, the screen for UbuntuStudio looks VERY different from the screen shown inthe instructions [03:34] i just apt-get install it [03:34] i use ncmpc [03:35] zcat[1]: the screen for UbuntuStudio looks VERY different from the screen shown inthe instructions [03:35] Dazed: many ways. partimage for making a complete image of the partition. you can also make a copy of /etc and /home, and list out all packages installed. [03:35] jrib: will check it out [03:35] Mr_Bad_News: hit Ctrl+U in ncmpc [03:35] Harley^: that's also a problem.. I've never used studio so I'm just assuming it will work 'mostly [03:35] My mouse & keyboard turn off and on sometimes (more on then off, lol.) I get the message that each of these USB ports have disconnected (then they reconnect i guess), from syslog. Any idea whats going on? [03:35] Mr_Bad_News: it'll update your library [03:35] like plain ubuntu [03:35] ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list [03:35] well maybe i should open the source [03:35] i dont want a complete image of the partition, that takes too much space.. [03:35] zcat[1]: wow that's really sweet! just typing "nautilus" into ssh brings up the browser [03:35] do etc and home contain ALL the mission critical files? [03:35] alright thanks SNuxoll [03:35] does the Mac4lin plugin work well with Hardy? [03:35] Now install of a reload of 49 repositories there is a much lower number [03:36] zcat[1] aaron_carter: how could I do stuff like have access to gnome_do or whatever using typical keyboard hooks [03:36] is that possible? [03:36] i want to know before i go ahead and install(and break my xorrg :P ) [03:36] as if it were a virtual machine on my desk..... [03:36] I see [03:36] is there a way to set a different picture for the splash image after grub loads [03:36] num1_: Still "searching" [03:36] !xdmcp [03:36] xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it [03:36] Dazed: depends on setup. It can put stuff in /var and /usr too, but.. um yea.. config, installed progs and user docs will be backed up that way. But partimage is if you want to make sure [03:36] Terrasque: How do I list my packages? [03:36] WDC: hm... this is a tricky problem to solve, any interruptions in the installation process could leave your system unstable [03:37] :( [03:37] num1_: how fun! lol [03:37] danhs: you can do the whole login and session thing remotely with xdmcp .. see what ubottu said [03:37] Dazed: dont remember now. I'm sure some brilliant person here knows it. Was something with dpkg [03:37] num1_: Would being in VMWare change anything? [03:37] !clone > Dazed [03:37] Dazed, please see my private message [03:37] zcat[1]: I'm digging the X tunneling with ssh [03:38] zcat[1]: I'd just like to figure out how to have a full gdm session over ssh [03:38] WDC: what does the installation window say? It should give some indication of what step you're on. [03:38] not just nautilus or whatever [03:38] danhs: actually ignore what ubottu said, I think it's as easy as adding a package on the client and ticking 'remote login' on the server [03:38] num1_: ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [03:38] sweet thanks [03:38] zcat[1]: I did that....xnest [03:38] last time i went editing a conf file it took me some hours to get er back up and running [03:38] but you and aaron_carter said that xdmcp is inferior to x tunneling [03:38] Man, it's taking hours to grow a partition! [03:39] x tunneling seems nifty....I'd just *love* it if there was a way to tunnel a full gnome session [03:39] danhs: hmmm.. xnest is a local login within a window.. or does it let you do remote logins too? [03:39] zcat[1]: seems like it allowed me to do remote login with terminal services client [03:39] I still don't get why KDE seems to take up so much screen estate for me... [03:39] argh, wrong window [03:40] My mouse & keyboard turn off and on sometimes (more on then off, lol.) I get the message that each of these USB ports have disconnected (then they reconnect i guess), from syslog. Any idea whats going on? [03:40] danhs: hmm, cool. I have to play with that more. Usually I just walk over to the other computer ;) [03:40] WDC: do you mean running VMWare while installing or doing the installation on VMWare? [03:40] ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list [03:40] well maybe i should open the source [03:40] ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list [03:40] well maybe i should open the source [03:40] zcat[1]: desktop setup is nice....two monitors and a nice moouse and keyboard [03:40] num1_: Ubuntu is under VMWare [03:40] zcat[1]: I need to do some work on laptop though....I don't want to use crappy interfaces....

Also see !patience [03:41] danhs: i've only used vnc and its been no problem, there is a lot of documentation on it [03:41] whats the proper syntax for this command, cause when i put this in, it doesnt create the "mypackages" file [03:41] how do i change the splash image after grub loads? [03:41] num1_: Okay then. I don't think anything will go bad if I restart NOW, but i'll let it run overnight just to be sure (10:41PM) [03:41] dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages [03:41] aaron_carter: after I have x tunneling set, how can I use vnc tho? [03:41] Is there a key code for scroll left/right? [03:41] and is there a place where you can get cool ones? [03:41] WDC: iirc searching for orphaned packages is the last task of installation, since it's a non-critical operation you're right in saying there's no harm in restarting now [03:41] :( why ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list [03:41] well maybe i should open the source [03:41] ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list [03:41] well maybe i should open the source [03:41] ı have skystar2 rev 2.6 dvb tv card my os ubuntu 8.04 ver ı setup kaffeine scan channels transponder but not add channel list [03:41] well maybe i should open the source [03:41] jrib: "wmctrl -k on" works like a charm, thanks [03:41] master_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:20] djlenoir: and if you use 64bit, you will gain some speed and large memory handling [04:20] Ok thanks. I was thinking maybe 32-bit Ubuntu was having compatibility problems with my hardware.

I have an Atheros wireless card. There is a solution online but the file they tell us to wget only contains a README file... nothing else!! HELP :( [04:22] Drood: okay - here's a quick rundown on how linux handles devices: the /dev directory holds a ton of files that point to your hardware. /dev/sda points to your first hard drive (sometimes it's real SCSI and usually it's emulated), /dev/sdb would be the second, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd ... the numbers (/dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 ...) are your partitions on those drives === martinp23 is now known as Martinp23 [04:22] !madwifi | ne00 [04:22] ne00: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:23] thanks mate [04:23] Drood: This was a normal install of Hardy, right?

It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [04:28] ohh.. [04:28] lol [04:28] that's a Unix thing. no output from a command means it did what you asked it to do [04:28] Drood: this is linux - there's 50 different ways to perform a single task - the simplest are usually the most effective :) [04:28] im trying to change usplash images [04:28] its just using studios [04:28] do somebody received my image for trying help me? [04:28] if you typed the command exactly as I said, and it displayed nothing, then it didn't find any NTFS partitions [04:28] anyone? [04:28] Drood: well, 50 might be an exxageration sometimes ;) [04:28] how do i make it use fingerprint [04:28] ok so should i try again with does commands [04:28] *those [04:29] Drood: sudo fdisk -l [04:29] Drood: sudo fdisk -l pastebin the full output [04:29] Drood: ok, first of all, get the pastebin site up in firefox [04:29] !pastebin | Drood [04:29] Drood: 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) [04:29] i did already [04:29] its up [04:29] excellent. [04:29] whats the different between "linux" and "linux-generic"? [04:29] Drood: give us the address [04:29] Samus_Aran: be patient [04:29] in synaptic [04:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [04:30] Drood: when you input the text there, it should give you the specific address for just that one paste [04:30] Drood: ok, make the terminal maximized (you'll see why in a bit), then type this command: dmesg [04:30] Drood: then cut and paste it all into the pastebin site [04:31] there is a + next to ubuntus studio splash image and a * next to the one i want what does that mean? [04:31] i followed this guide https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=40914&group_id=187765 [04:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/37879/ [04:31] please [04:31] help me [04:31] sven, what is the issue [04:31] i coudlnt copy it all, some of it wasnt there [04:31] sven: what? [04:32] Drood: did you scroll up all the way? [04:32] yeah [04:32] publicity in my usb flash [04:32] !pastebinit [04:32] i would want remove [04:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebinit [04:32] Drood: hrm - try this then: dmesg -s20000 [04:32] it only saved up to a certain amount before it overwrites i believe [04:32] Drood: install pastebinit and use it [04:32] sven, there is no adware in ubuntu. [04:32] hi [04:32] Drood: you're right. it's a ring buffer. check /var/log/kern.log [04:33] Abit IP35-E (bios 18), Intel E6750. 4x1GB DDR2800, BFG 8800GTS 512MB, 2x640GB SATA WD Caviar HDDs, 2xLG SATA DVD-RWs, PCP&C 510SLI PS. SB Audigy2 ZS Platinum. Again, the problem is "ata1.00 revalidation failed (errno=-5)" and then more related errors. [04:33] it are in flash, bazhang [04:33] do i gotta beg to get a simple answer? [04:33] djlenoir, this is from livecd? [04:33] Drood: that's a default thing - the -s flag allows you to increase the buffer (it hides it, it takes time to overwrite it) [04:33] sven, then format the usb key [04:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/37881/ [04:33] yes, but don't leave... [04:33] andrew232123, need a question [04:34] sven I wont leave [04:34] it emulation a driver what store all information autorun.inf [04:34] how can i remove "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic" without removing "linux-generic"? [04:34] bazhang: This is from the 32-bit version of Ubuntu CD that I downloaded. It worked on my old crappy PC, but when I try on this new PC that is what I get (with other errors following) [04:34] is that one ok? [04:34] bazhang: I choose the try before installing option. [04:34] djlenoir, try the alternate cd installer [04:34] Someone help me please. How to solve the "can't mount volume" and previously it was okie. [04:35] "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic" depends on "linux-generic" and vice-versa [04:35] Drood: oh yes, that is just fine - are your hard drives IDE or SATA? [04:35] andrew232123, why do you need to remove that [04:35] Drood: you are pasting the "dmesg" command, where is the "sudo fdisk -l" command ? [04:35] Someone help me please. How to solve the "can't mount volume" and previously it was ok (NTFS) and it's my external HDD. [04:35] bazhang: Ok I will search for the alternate install CD now [04:35] Samus_Aran: we don't care about that anymore. [04:35] well the one where ubuntu is isntalled , the 80gb one is IDE, the secondary hard drive ,120gb is SATA [04:35] cause i want to use my own custom wireless drivers and install the new nvidia drivers [04:35] !alternate | djlenoir [04:35] djlenoir: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [04:36] Gnea: why not ? all we need is the device name, then adding a line to /etc/fstab [04:36] sven: ubuntu doesn't care about autorun.inf [04:36] vnix, dont repeat so often [04:36] bazhang: thanks! [04:36] Drood: okay - check your SATA cable to/from the motherboard - it might not be adjusted right or maybe the cable itself is bad [04:36] sorry bazhang I was trying to update my question [04:36] bazhang??? [04:36] vnix: Did Windows crash the last time you were in it or did the drive get abruptly unplugged? [04:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/37883/ [04:36] there it is [04:36] don think so [04:36] Samus_Aran: yeah, if his SATA drive would show up correctly [04:36] sven, just format the usb key. there is not autorun for ubuntu [04:36] Hello people i need some program to make the Picture CLEAN plz !! i run ubuntu 7.10 [04:36] sven ie no adware etc. [04:37] do I have to safely remove my portable drive in order to run in Ubuntu? [04:37] Gnea, it was working right before i installed this OS [04:37] bosan4edos, use gimp [04:37] yes, but i run shitWindows [04:37] sven no cursing here [04:37] sven: that's unfortunate but we don't support windows [04:37] Gnea: alright where were you? i ran that command and i got 2 cards listed, i do know that 2 cards are listed but ofcourse 1 is selected [04:37] sven that is not a problem for ##windows not here [04:37] Gnea: how do you know it isn't showing up, we don't have the output of: sudo fdisk -l [04:38] Samus_Aran: we do [04:38] where ? [04:38] vnix: Well, not usually, but sometimes when a drive doesn't unmount properly from Windows, Ubuntu won't mount it afterwards because it's still flagged as busy. [04:38] Samus_Aran: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37883/ === Alvin_FN is now known as Alvin [04:38] lol, i know...sorry, but this will have with windows? [04:38] bobertdos: no. it's flagged as unclean [04:38] bazhang, is there a reason why linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic depend on the linux kernel and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-18-generic dont [04:38] so how can i solve this in Ubuntu? thanks [04:38] sven dont ask about windows here. [04:38] sven: we don't care about windows problems here. ask ##windows [04:39] Drood, Samus_Aran: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37885/ [04:39] wols: Well, same difference. [04:39] bobertdos: no. busy is different from unclean [04:39] wols: okay. thanks. [04:39] ok [04:39] Fredd: try hooking speakers up to the other one, see if sound is coming out of it [04:39] that means it is connected right [04:39] the sata link up part [04:39] Drood: at this point your best bet is to restart the computer and check the BIOS screen for hard drive detection, to make sure it is seeing your drive [04:39] vnix: not well at all [04:39] Drood: fiddle with the wiring if it does not see it [04:39] vnix: at least if the partition is ntfs [04:39] Drood: no, that means that something is wrong. [04:39] andrew232123, you can check packages.ubuntu.com for a nice graphical representation of why that is the case [04:40] damn [04:40] sorry, my issue don't was about those thing... [04:40] is it good If I make the partition become FAT32? [04:40] k, ill prolly be back, thansk for your help [04:40] but about my usb flash...!!!!! [04:40] thats going to tell me what i already know [04:40] sven format it. [04:40] wols: I know, but it doesn't really make a difference for the sake of the question [04:40] hi guys, just want to ask if it necessary to install pulse audio manager, and if it is, what does it for? [04:40] what depends on what [04:40] sven: do you have a ubuntu problem happening in ubuntu? if not please stop asking [04:40] wait, could it just be im missing drivers for it ? [04:41] sven, you have an answer. please stop repeating your question. [04:41] Drood: try to refrain from swearing in here too, it's frowned upon (kids 'n all..) [04:41] Drood: nope, the drivers are fine - it's a hardware issue [04:41] oo sorry [04:41] no problem [04:41] all right... [04:41] Drood: depends on the sata controller [04:41] vnix: Nah, you don't want to do that. [04:41] Drood: it appears that the drive lost its connection. just reboot and fiddle with wiring until the BIOS shows you the second hard drive, then boot back into Ubuntu [04:41] ok, ill check again, if that doesnt work, do you think changing the sata port would help ? [04:41] Drood: it might [04:41] ok [04:41] Drood: try that first, yes. often one port is faulty [04:41] Drood: also swap power cables [04:42] bye people... [04:42] thanks [04:42] good idea.. [04:42] ok [04:42] how do i remove a usplash image? [04:42] Drood: you can do this to monitor the hardware as you fiddle with it live, if you like: [04:42] hi guys, just want to ask if it necessary to install pulse audio manager, and if it is, what does it for? [04:42] vnix: FAT32 is... wrong. :) [04:42] i just find it weird that i had just put all my stuff into that hard drive specifically to have it when i insalled ubuntu [04:43] !ot [04:43] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:43] dmesg -watch -n 0.5 'dmesg|tail -n 20' [04:43] woudlnt moving it while the pc is on, mess up someting, i know its suppsoed ot be hot swapable but.. [04:43] Drood: it's possible that the cable came loose when you put it back together [04:43] Initial_M: by contrast, a lot of people are removign it and using ALSA, because of the problems it has caused [04:43] Dazed, /msg ubottu for fun if you wish [04:43] Drood: that will keep monitoring the kernel messages every half second, so fiddle with the cables and see if the drive reappears [04:43] i never took it apart lol [04:43] i need real people to harrass tbh [04:43] lol [04:44] Dazed, not here. [04:44] is pulseaudio going to be included in the next version of ubuntu? [04:44] I see.. so if I want to share my portable device for both linux and windows.. NTFS the best? [04:44] Drood: we set up our drive array with the computer on =p [04:44] I didn't even say anything. [04:44] Drood: 8x1TB SATA disks [04:44] WOW [04:44] Drood: well, there is *ONE* thing that you CAN try, without opening the case up.... [04:44] just wondering, does anyone here play wow on linux ?

It's more important where Windows is concerned. [04:45] !wow [04:45] Drood: heh, no.. you can change the way the linux kernel handles the devices by re-routing the IRQs [04:45] Drood: just open up the case while it's on, you won't hurt anything [04:45] Drood: our computer case is open 24/7 [04:45] Initial_M: don't know, i personally think pulse was not ready for Hardy, but i don't make those decisions, i've chosen to stick w/ Alsa [04:45] Samus_Aran: no.. [04:45] k ill reboot, and go into the BIOS to see it the sata hard drive is detected. [04:46] Gnea: ? [04:46] Hey guys can someone direct me to some instructions on how to correctly use LABEL= in fstab? (need labeling to keep track of all the partitions...:) [04:46] and where would i monitor if the device is detected [04:46] so now I have to go to Windows and properly remove my drives and restart again in order to use my device properly is it? [04:46] Samus_Aran: do you work in IT? [04:46] Gnea: why do you ask ? [04:46] Samus_Aran: it's just a yes/no question. [04:46] the case is just a dust cover [04:46] IndyGunFreak = so what is the best way then, and thanks btw, is there a way for me to choose? [04:46] Gnea: one which I'm not going to answer to you without good reason [04:47] only thing you need to watch out for when dealing with the open computer is static discharge, which is fine to just touch the case beforehand [04:47] Initial_M: system/prefs/sound... then make sure your apps are set to use alsa(like pidgin, audacious, vlc, etc.) [04:47] Samus_Aran: Because I do, and I am acutely aware of how dangerous opening a case while it's turned on. [04:47] Samus_Aran: I generally aim to have one had on the case as long as I'm handling any othr component.. [04:47] Gnea: oh please, do enlighten me how opening a case is "dangerous" [04:47] The case should be turned off, the power cord disconnected, and the flea power ejected before taking it off. [04:48] take hardware chat elsewhere please [04:48] IndyGunFreak = tnx bro.. [04:48] Samus_Aran: clearly, you are not a real tech. yes, let's just end this discussion now. [04:48] well actually if you asked me it would be better to leave it plugged in but with the power turned off so it is still grounded [04:48] what can you use to open a .so file? [04:48] or edit it [04:48] Gnea: bull---. =) I've opened dozens of computers while they run, and have had 0 issues. they are fully grounded, PSUs are grounded, the motherboards are grounded. === Gun_Smoke is now known as Gun_Smoke_away [04:49] * IndyGunFreak his case has not had a side on it in about 4mo..lol [04:49] Gnea: SATA drives are fully hot-swappable. [04:49] Gnea: internal or external [04:49] Mr_Bad_News: that's a shared object file, like a .dll on windows. You generally don't "open" them. [04:49] offtopic [04:49] language [04:49] IndyGunFreak: our computer has not been closed for, hm, 9 years [04:49] a [04:49] Gnea: outside of the PSU there is no voltage inside a computer greater than +-12v ...

[04:54] Samus_Aran: Just for the record I would not generally suggest people go opening up computers though because 1) many people don't know the difference between 'computer' and 'monitor' and 2) it's pretty easy to do major ESD damage if you don't know how to handle things safely. [04:54] Foshizzle, what package [04:55] Just for passing network messages [04:55] Indy: the infor seems to be for FF2, and doesn't seem to like FF3 [04:55] nasm [04:55] djlenoir: 8.04.1 has the latest updates added that 8.04 does not have. [04:55] Foshizzle, what is that [04:55] paula: ok..

Something like mini-aim for Windows, with the buddy list and conversations all in one window [05:04] linuxadmin, ask in #debian [05:04] how do i install a bin file? [05:04] zcat[1]: i'll try that i guess... how would i get the encryption back up once i've taken it down? [05:04] casao: is Gaim not that ? [05:04] linuxadmin, you'd have to ask in #debian I guess [05:04] I have [05:04] no, it's not, gaim has 2 windows [05:04] casao: Pidgin works in Windows too [05:05] a buddy list and a conversation window [05:05] blizzardman1219: however you set it up the first time? [05:05] i want one window, like miniaim [05:05] linuxadmin, this is ubuntu support not debian [05:05] casao: there plugins for IRC clients to access other messaging systems as if they're just another IRC server ? [05:05] I'm using Netbook remix [05:05] my computer doesn't recognize de projector when I plug on it anybody can help me? [05:05] Samus_Aran: that could do it, i'll think about it [05:05] how do i install a bin file? [05:05] slammed87d21, put the .bin file in your desktop , open a termianl, cd Desktop , sudo chmod +x filename.bin , sudo ./filename.bin [05:05] casao: centerim does that, although it's a cli program. [05:05] slammed87d21, which file [05:05] bluescan [05:05] qr: ah, yeah, Finch does it actually, but i would definitely prefer GUI [05:06] slammed87d21: first of all; check that the same hing you're trying to install isn't vailable via repos.. because once you go out of package management it complicates all kinds of things forever after' [05:06] hi [05:06] i'm optimizing my services manager [05:06] ok i removed the ubuntustudio-usplash but its still showing up [05:06] can I disable dbus ? [05:06] without any problems [05:06] what do you mean? [05:07] !info bluescan [05:07] Package bluescan does not exist in hardy [05:07] lap, try from menu > system > admin > services [05:07] i set usplash to fingerprint and its set in update-alternatives but studios splash image isnt and its showing up [05:07] ? [05:07] Pelo: I know.. [05:07] I want to know if I can disable Dbus [05:07] my computer doesn't recognize de projector when I plug on it anybody can help me? [05:07] lap, sorry, no do not disable dbus [05:07] why ?& [05:08] I've read that dbus lets programs talk to each other "Cut n Paste" etc [05:08] lap, controls external device I beleive [05:08] !info dbus [05:08] dbus (source: dbus): simple interprocess messaging system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.1.20-1ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 274 kB, installed size 804 kB [05:08] linuxadmin: optional : ) [05:08] oh its generating it for update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-15-rt [05:08] lap: a working computer is 'optional' too ;) [05:08] i surely can disable it [05:08] how do i make it for 22-15-generic [05:08] 15-rt isnt working for me [05:09] linuxadmin, optional means you can remove it and still have a computer that works, not remove it and have functionality as normal [05:09] Samus_Aran, sri whats hm? I found under xp suitable resident called winchat have installed Linpopup tks [05:09] lap, you can safely disalble bleutooth, britty, powernowd [05:09] can someone help me install fiSH for x-chat [05:09] amoug others [05:09] c1rcuit, try asking in #xchat [05:10] you probably shouldn't dissable initd though... [05:10] Bodsda: if i show a screenshot of my services panels can you tell me if I'm ok ? [05:10] alistair: the only problem I have with linpopup and winpopup is that they need to be loaded up and run all the time to receive messages [05:10] Hi. I am trying to run Ubuntu Server on a 16 core (4 socket, quad core) machine but I only see 8 processors when I look at /proc/cpuinfo. I am running 2.6.24-19-server. Any ideas what I might need to tweak? [05:10] lap, no, i dont know what your doing and i dont know how to disable dbus, i do know that its not a good idea [05:11] how do i get usplash image to work with 2.6.22-15-generic and not 15-rt? [05:11] Samus_Aran, OK [05:11] rt doesnt work for me [05:11] JudasHimself, hit it with a wip and threaten it [05:11] Bodsda: not a good idea to disable "dbus" ? [05:11] lap, no [05:11] shut up bodhi_zazen [05:12] ok [05:12] cpufreq ? [05:12] acpid ? [05:12] apm ? [05:12] lap: why do you want to disable core services? [05:12] lap, cpufreq controls the frequence of your cpu chip , if yo0u have a laptop that might be a good thing to leave on [05:12] all of those things do fairly important things. [05:12] JudasHimself: [05:12] acpid and apm leave on [05:12] i do not have a laptop [05:12] lap, feel free to disable cpufreq and powernowd [05:13] what's the terminal command to start network manager in gnome? [05:13] powernowd = cpu frquency manager [05:13] =P [05:13] blizzardman1219, network-manager i think [05:13] how do i choose a usplash image for a vmlinuz-2.6.22-generic instead of rt? [05:13] Anyone here know anyything about Netbook Remix? [05:13] !usplash [05:13] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [05:13] any one able help with installing drivers from ATI, there is no response in the #ati room [05:13] http://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=servicesga1.png [05:13] JudasHimself, man, pages are usefull [05:13] thats what it look like now [05:13] i know how to change the usplash image [05:13] someone can take a look ? [05:13] can you still hubernate or suspend your desktop without powernowd ? [05:13] Bodsda: didn't work :/ [05:13] how do i change it for generic and not rt [05:14] zcat[1]: yeah [05:14] !theme > JudasHimself check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [05:14] JudasHimself, please see my private message [05:14] blizzardman1219, dunno then, you using gnome? [05:14] zcat[1]: thats acpid that control what you want [05:14] update-alteratives --config usplash changes it for vmlinuz rt [05:14] and apmd [05:14] not generic which im using [05:14] rt doesnt work for me [05:14] Bodsda: yes [05:14] lap, you want to leave the schedulers on [05:14] blizzardman1219, why dont you use the gui to get at it? [05:14] not that my desktop likes being suspended.... but some handle it I think [05:14] update-initramfs -u sets it for rt [05:14] not generic [05:14] someone told that i can remove this if my computer always on [05:14] Pelo [05:15] i removed a usplash image and its still using it [05:15] Bodsda: i did a sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart and it disappeared :/ [05:15] lap, the schedulers run commands at certain times, [05:15] I know [05:15] blizzardman1219, why did you restart dbus? [05:15] lap, I assume you don't want any internet ? [05:15] But i think it's useless for 24/24 computer [05:16] Bodsda: i was instructed to by this: http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html#more-129 [05:16] lap, you don'T want updates then I guess , fair enough , no cron and anacron then [05:16] does anyone know how to prevent Ubuntu from installing a package which causes problems ? so it will never be installed by apt/synaptic/etc. [05:16] sheesh, if you really need performance that much just run puppy already! [05:16] anyone know what package to find the /sbin/hotplug binary in? [05:16] Puppy performance? Heh... [05:16] !pin Samus_Aran [05:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about pin samus_aran [05:16] blizzardman1219, ok so you logged out then back in yes? [05:16] I see it referenced in the kernel config. [05:16] ummm.. almost. [05:16] !pin [05:16] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [05:17] actually no, can you blacklist packages?! [05:17] Bodsda: no, i'll try that [05:17] !blacklist [05:17] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [05:17] darn [05:17] zcat[1], i dont recall ever hearing of being able to do that. [05:17] don't look like it ;) [05:17] Pelo: anacron and atd control the update manager ? [05:17] can you pin a version of a package at 'none' [05:17] for automatic update ? [05:18] winbind on a server prevents Samba from operating, I want to make sure it is never auto-installed. [05:18] if I close anacron and atd, no more automatic update ? [05:18] Pelo [05:18] lap, they run scheduled commands, like hte update manager, rkhunter and so on [05:18] lap, they probably have something to do with checking for updated packages [05:18] ok [05:18] lap: if you turn them off, probably lots of things will break [05:18] lap, and you want the loggers to stay on as well in case you have a problem and need to figure out what happened [05:19] lap, you want to print ? turn cups back on [05:19] lap, why do you wanna turn off loads of core parts of the system, basically if you dont know what it does, dont touch it [05:19] no [05:19] hi, do you guys know if its possible to make ubuntu set a proxy automaticly when connected to a specific network? [05:19] I would be strongly inclined NOT to dissable crond about as much as i wouldn't turn off initd... [05:19] dont want to print [05:19] avahi-daemon [05:19] can i disable this ? [05:19] lap, do you want internet ? [05:19] uh ? [05:19] yeah. [05:19] thats not for internet man. [05:19] !enter | lap [05:19] lap: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:20] lap, dns discovery is not for the internet ? alrighty then [05:20] that's for local network [05:20] lap: actually it sounds like you might really like gentoo.... [05:20] I never have been clear on what avahi actually does.. [05:20] Anyone have any good suggestions for IRC chat clients for Ubutnu? [05:20] apt-cache show avahi-daemon [05:20] MaverricK, go and ask bestbot in #ubuntu-bots [05:20] MaverricK, xchat vanilla, not xchat-gnome [05:20] !irc | MaverricK [05:20] MaverricK: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [05:20] and you'll see that i will have internet without this [05:21] MaverricK, what one to use.. depends on your needs. [05:21] Maverrick, im quite comfortable with Konversation, Mibbit is pretty cool too, is web based. [05:21] hi [05:21] hi? [05:21] !hi | house [05:21] house: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! === house is now known as Guest7187 [05:21] Xchat gnome is what I'm using yah i might grab Konversations. I just need it basically to get access to an chat based online PRG i play [05:21] lap: you do know that all the stuff you're not using pretty much gets swapped out after a while and has no real impact on performance at all? [05:22] Hi, I am using stunnel to connect to a server with a self signed ssl certificate. How do I get the cert and create a pem out of it so I can authenticate the server when I connect? [05:22] stupid failed nick name [05:22] hey.. how can I retrieve a screen resolution for a specific display using terminal.. for example.. where is my current desktop and what is its resolution.. [05:22] zcat[1]: ij [05:22] How may we be of assistance, house? [05:22] ok* [05:22] idk [05:22] Is there a better telnet client that I can hook up to xboard? [05:22] no [05:22] djhash, i think the tools 'xrandr' and 'xvidtune' can tell you that info.. they can also set/change things..so be carefull with them [05:23] the default ubuntu client makes entering stuff difficult [05:23] So does no one here know about Netbook Remix or UMELauncher? [05:23] Thanks folks I'll go give Konversation a try.. [05:23] djhash, example -> xrandr --> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1050 [05:23] Dr_willis: thanks.. i'll give it a try.. [05:23] acpid and apmd are useless or not ? [05:23] im going back on konversation [05:23] if I'm talking, I can be interrupted midsentence by a message from the server and have to figure out where I was [05:23] I went from dapper to Gibbon, is there any glaring reason to upgrade further to say 8.04? General desktop with lots of VirtualBox use. Inel and Nvidia 5200 (I have had upgrades "break" before and just want a little heads up) [05:23] i dont use power management settings at all [05:23] no screen off... etc.. [05:24] Dr_willis: thanks.. that is the info i needed.. [05:24] /server -m irc.webchat.org [05:24] oops [05:24] gah [05:24] i hate xchat [05:24] hanif: in my experience, upgrades are pretty dodgy. I'd consider just doing a clean install or staying with what you have now.. [05:24] ok [05:24] someone can give me the default config for services with hardy please ? [05:24] : ) [05:24] is it possible to access a telnet server with the text-entry area being separate from the received messages from the telnet server? [05:24] screenshot or something [05:25] I'll go back to default settings. [05:25] Is there a program that uses the identifier 'MY FILE:' in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=172010? [05:25] Plutonian, i recall some MUD clients being used that way... YEARS ago... :) [05:25] to much things to know before disable something [05:25] lap, just turn everything back on exept for powernowd , britty, cups and bluetooth [05:25] Plutonian, but using telnet to irc? ick. :) cant use irssi for the terminal/console eh? [05:26] and printers [05:26] cause i dont have one [05:26] =P [05:26] lap: that's cups I think [05:26] that would be the cups one [05:26] hi [05:26] ok [05:26] no bluwtooth [05:26] I am trying ot install drivers from ATI is there any one that can help? I have read the wiki and it was not successful please help me [05:26] bluetooth too [05:26] i am trying to convert a .avi to .flv, but using ffmpeg the sound is not converted (or played). [05:26] yeah, I know that is for sure. I will source problem areas if I have to. Main reason for question. Old RPM hack, dependency hell is nothing new to me. lol. been a deb and tar man for about 10 years for that reason. Thanks for the info. [05:26] any idea? [05:27] are the cli and cli-expert boot options supposed to work from the install CD? all i get is an error that the image or whatever isn't found and i did check isolinux.cfg to see that there wasn't any label with those names [05:27] Demian: upload it to gootube then download it again with downloadhelper ;) [05:27] who knows alot about ssh [05:27] I'm using telnet to communicate with freechess.org [05:27] hotkey setup [05:27] let's see [05:27] pretty useless [05:27] How do I get a self signed cert from a website and create a pem out of it? [05:27] sometimes I have to talk to people [05:27] no ? [05:27] Demian, search in the forum for convertit , it's a neat app for this stuff [05:27] l3d, me [05:28] !ask | l3d [05:28] l3d: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [05:28] Ok, so this is where I am at right now. I am trying to use the alternate install CD and I got similar errors that I got with the live CD. Although it did eventually get past that and it detected the 'us' keyboard and then it tells me it can't find a CD-ROM!?!? It is running from the CD-ROM but seems to think that I don't have one. This is whacked. [05:28] and it's annoying to be typing a sentence into the command line and have my sentence broken up whenever I receive a message [05:29] Pelo: winff is pretty nice too. although from my experience converting avi's ought to work with ffmpeg unless the avi is somehow broken? [05:29] ok there is a couple of things I would like to know when I login or am browsing the pc i connect to does that mess the person on it? [05:29] djlenoir: did you md5sum the CD? to be sure it's not corrupted [05:29] win 22 [05:29] l3d, no [05:29] whee [05:29] anext is there a way to open a chat like app with that person? [05:29] djlenoir, from the live cd I think you can type F6 and then take out acpi from the boot string and that fixes the problem but I'm not 100% , chekc in the forum this is a known issue [05:29] any input on the hotplug binary? [05:30] What's a good contact manager that supports SyncML, or an easy way to setup SyncML with thunderbird? [05:30] IcemanV9: No [05:30] Bluetooth syncing is a must for that though [05:30] l3d: there is no easy way [05:30] Pelo: I will try that next [05:30] zcat[1], I think it's probably just a quesiton of getting the right option, convertit is just a gui frontend for ffmpeg , saves the trouble [05:30] samba problem: when I create a folder on the samba share, I can't write within the folder [05:30] Pelo: so's winff .. [05:31] zcat[1], but it's got w.i.n in the name, I'll have none of that ;-) [05:32] admittedly it was written as a nice front end for MSDOS++ but it works in Linux too [05:32] * Pelo is still not sure what hangs his boot for 10-15 sec after the "loading manual driver" line [05:32] Pelo: dhcp ? [05:32] well I would like to have a app or somthing for network communication ? [05:33] hi, do you guys know if its possible to make ubuntu set a proxy automaticly when connected to a specific network? [05:33] l3d, what do you mean? [05:33] zcat[1], the next line when it finaly comes , ( with quiet diswabled) , is my lm-sensors module ident [05:34] I cannot get Evolution to download emails newer than may 2008 [05:34] PPKuma, try asking in #networking , my guess would be yes, but don't trust me on this [05:34] ok, Pelo, thx [05:34] mattgyver83, check your system date [05:34] ] well would like to open a dialog like window with the other pc on the lan , if it can be done with ssh thats cool [05:34] Pelo: You sir, are a genius! That worked!!! What is the impact of not using acpi? [05:34] sorry, I cannot get Evolution to download emails newer than may 2008 from my gmail account. * my system date is correct [05:34] l3d, it is not really that easy [05:34] djlenoir, no idea, I just saw the question and remembered answers from others in the past [05:34] sorry [05:35] is there another way then [05:35] Hi. I am trying to run Ubuntu Server on a 16 core (4 socket, quad core) machine but I only see 8 processors when I look at /proc/cpuinfo. I am running 2.6.24-19-server. Any ideas what I might need to change? [05:35] l3d, with samba and some sort of tool i recall its doable.. it could also be considerd a bit of a security issue. [05:35] my ubuntu is not booting well. it freezes before i get to the login screen [05:35] someone can screenshot me his "services" manager in "system, administration, services" pls (someone who never touch it, because i want to put it back with system default) [05:35] Pelo: it probes for hardware sensors every boot? [05:35] it would be appreciated [05:35] a lot. [05:35] l3d, I would setup a jabber server [05:35] query me please. [05:35] mattgyver83, I'm not having this issue and I dl from gmail all the time, delete your gmail account from evolution, and redo the setup using the "other" instuctions from gmail.com [05:35] hardy heron [05:36] hehe [05:36] Pelo, good suggestion. I will try. [05:36] zcat[1], sounds like it but it's suppposed to be set properly, I get my fan control and everthing [05:36] hi [05:37] well secure as in only people on the lan could access [05:37] Pelo: no idea... my sensors never seem to work, I've given up on fancy stuff likethat [05:37] zcat[1], thanks anyway, I'll try and ask the #linux-sensors ppl tomorrow when someone seems to be around [05:38] anyone please ? [05:38] How do I install java? [05:38] lap, anyone what ? [05:38] !java | Harde [05:38] Harde: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [05:38] how do i make totem my default music player in ubuntu hardy?

I dident have to do anything.. i installed/ran cheese and it worked. :) [05:40] soooo ubuntu has me ready to set my hair on fire. I guess flash support for it is pretty weak at the moment because basically any flv or swf video website i go to (youtube, metacrawler, funnyordie, etc) - just ends up closing the browser when i click on a video [05:40] bravo7, if you are upgrading online, be very very patient [05:40] I was a gui share window. How can I get the command ill need to run? [05:40] Pelo i did [05:40] it still 3 mins [05:40] dr_willis: really? let me see [05:40] Pelo is installing not downloading [05:40] bravo7, how long has it been ? [05:40] Pelo hours [05:41] Pelo its stuck in Configuring Locales [05:41] i am trying to see all of the windows share in ubuntu. Currently i have to go to smb://down/users to see the share, but i used to be able to just navigate to smb://down and everything would show up... How can i make it so that everything thing shared on the downstairs is viewable to me under smb://down? [05:41] eligos, yep. I was amazed it worked. :) [05:41] bravo7, you did not let it run the update manager during the upgrade process did you ? [05:41] Pelo ya [05:41] FAJALOU, that may be the 'browseable' option for the share/server [05:41] Pelo i restart and updg to 8.04 [05:41] and now its say 'about 3 minutes remaining [05:41] FAJALOU, at least i seem to recall the browseable option affecting that. [05:42] Dr_willis: how can i check? it's a vista machine... [05:42] bravo7, that might be the issue, I 'm not sure how to recover from that , got a live cd handy just so you can reinstall if you need to ? [05:42] pelo rite now im looking for system monitor [05:42] bravo7: it's gnome-system-monitor [05:42] FAJALOU, no idea on that. My vista machines show all the shares. I know under the smb config for samba its the browseable option./ there May some hidden option for the shares under windows. [05:42] bravo7, for future ref, better dl the cd and upgrade from that then from online [05:43] FAJALOU, i do know that $namesshares are supposed to be hidden. [05:43] Dr_willis: i can see everything correctly on the vista machine, i cannot see the vista share on the ubuntu machine correctly [05:43] vista seeing ubuntu is ok, ubunutu seeing vista is not [05:44] FAJALOU, is vista sharing ? [05:44] How do i get flash and java in Songbird [05:44] Pelo: yes, if i go to smb://down/users i can see the share, but i cannot see anything in smb://down [05:45] FAJALOU, i use the fusesmb tools now a days to access ahres.. I cant rember the last time i tried the 'smb://' type feature of the gnome file manager. [05:45] Kattman, assuming you have flash and java already installed, you might want to chekout the songbird forum [05:45] FAJALOU, i'd ask in #samba [05:45] Dr_willis: i never have used it... how can i?

[06:44] 周海燕 你在干什么 阿 [06:44] cypherdelic: i could be wrong but i use nvidia-settings to configure a new xorg.conf file so that it will do all that stuff for you... nvidia-settings is a configuration tool [06:45] Iodous: ask your question [06:45] Iodous: You fail at asking. [06:45] i need help with my Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN [06:45] shi bu shi zai xizaoa [06:45] I need some help with mounting my external hard drive (80GB) and I get a: [06:45] Cannot mount volume.

[06:46] i like this one [06:46] #broadcom [06:46] cypherdelic: of course i understand. what you want is to use the configuration tool to write you a new xorg.conf file so that xorg starts with your new settings. unless you want to edit the xorg.conf file by hand [06:47] i am coming from korea [06:47] Can someone please give me some help with Ubuntu 8.0.4, regarding mounting my external hard drive? [06:47] cypherdelic: using the nvidia settings.....there is an option to apply changes to xorg [06:47] jason_: no this settigns are applied by nvidia-settings -l (-l for load my configuration that i choose in graphic mode) [06:47] !ko [06:47] For Korean help, /join #ubuntu-ko [06:47] hi all [06:48] cypherdelic: o.k. good luck finding out how to do that [06:48] !hi | rgnr [06:48] rgnr: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:48] hi [06:48] I got xubuntu and gotta problem with checkinstall when compiling pidgin [06:48] wbmj: jason_no there is no line of my cube antialiased when i use nvidia-settings 2x Antialiasing, but all opengl apps are antialiased, TRUST me, please, or stop bugging me, where is a place, please where i can run nvidia-settings -l at FIRST? [06:49] does anyone know whether or not ubuntu has memory leak prevention? [06:49] #bcm-users [06:49] wbmj: jason_not say preferences > session please, this is xserver autostart [06:49] Kohlrak: memory leak prevention? what kind? [06:49] or gnome [06:49] in anywas it is loaded at LAST [06:49] I drank ubuntu for 6 weeks and lost 15 pounds. [06:49] slavik, like a lack of a call to free after a call to malloc or calloc [06:49] Thanks, Ubuntu! [06:49] Is there anyone here who isn't busy, who could help me get it so I can use my external hard drive? I am getting a Cannot mount volume error. [06:50] cypherdelic: are you telling me that nvidia loads a bunch of info before xorg starts? is that what you are trying to say? [06:50] Kohlrak: all modern OS (even Windows) will release any memory used by a process after it exits [06:50] :( [06:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/37901/ [06:50] Kohlrak: are you writing code without free() or are you using code that doesn't make use of free() ? [06:50] i cant join the bcm channel [06:50] tell me plz what am I doin'g not right [06:50] does anyone know of a good program to watch tv??? [06:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/37901/ [06:51] jason_: yes when xserver starts and loads nvidia, xserver applies the default nvidia values without antialiasing, and than loads nvidia-settings -l [06:51] and another one to use my webcam? [06:51] Is there anyone here who isn't busy, who could help me get it so I can use my external hard drive? I am getting a Cannot mount volume error. [06:51] rgnr: what version of ubuntu? [06:51] slavik: I am writing a program that uses hash tables (for speed), and i needed to know if free was necessary to prevent degrade of performance after multiple runs of the program. [06:51] What kernel does the 8.04.1 CD use? [06:51] eligos, i use mythtv to controll my tvtuner/record/watch tv. [06:51] Will Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Wireless N network adapter work with linux ?? [06:51] jason_: if not please tell my why i have no antialiasing, even when i put it to 16x [06:51] eligos, it may be overkill for your needs [06:51] DarkMage2303: is it usb [06:51] ? [06:51] mio: is it backwards compatible to g? [06:51] Yes [06:51] Kohlrak: if you don't use free(), I will track you down and rip your limbs off. [06:51] mythtv, ok thanks [06:51] slavik: latest 8.04.1 [06:51] FAJALOU: yes [06:51] rgnr: why are you installing pidgin by hand? [06:52] and for the webcam? [06:52] is it usb? [06:52] is there a way to open a link with gedit, something like "gedit://open?file://" (which doesn't work), on mac textmate allows you to use "txmt://open?url=file://" [06:52] It is a USB external hard drive [06:52] hi guys, is the new version of Pidgin have WebCam support? [06:52] FAJALOU: it is inbuilt PCI-E into my laptop. Laptop is ASUS EEEPC 1000H [06:52] thanks slavik, that answered my question XD [06:52] slavik: cuz there's no pidgin 2.43 in repos [06:52] activefx, never seen a way to do arbitary things like that.. === Initial_1 is now known as Intial_M [06:52] DarkMage2303: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/unable-to-mount-usb-external-hard-drive-596525/ [06:52] rgnr: why do you need 2.43? [06:52] try that [06:52] mio: most likely it will work, look at madwifi stuff [06:52] !atheros | mio [06:52] mio: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:52] website applets are not loading properly..can anyone suggest a solution [06:53] slavik: cuz icq bugs me that me client is too old [06:53] jason_: i use tracker to find the script that runs gdm and simply put my command before [06:53] !info madwifi > mio [06:53] mio, please see my private message [06:53] rgnr: oh that. go to getdeb.net :) [06:53] sorry mio wrong package [06:53] rgnr: getdeb provides some latest debs :) [06:53] FAJALOU: thanks, and yep, wrong [06:53] activefx: interesting problem ... try http://server/file.txt [06:53] dr_willis: mythtv allows you to watch tv from the cable antenna plugged to your tv card right? [06:53] Gnea: its working! [06:53] Kohlrak: #ubuntu-programming [06:53] I'll try that Dazed :) [06:53] mio: http://madwifi.org/ [06:54] eligos, yes.. and record.. and do 10000+ other things. [06:54] eligos: that is the idea [06:54] slavik: the point is that I've almost done [06:54] Slavik: you mean to tell me that all this time there was a programming channel? XD [06:54] rgnr: why bother compiling when someone made a package? [06:54] FAJALOU: ok i will read [06:54] cypherdelic: yeah.. that is a great maintainable way..... good luck with it [06:54] slavik: thanks, ill give that a try [06:54] re slavik I have installed gdeskapplets but find nothing in there relating to cpu speed? [06:54] mio: madwifi is a good program [06:54] slavik: I wanna know how to compile it ) [06:54] hi guys, is the new version of Pidgin have WebCam support? [06:55] Kohlrak: yes, but it isn't widely used, besides, there is the programming talk forum [06:55] I want to send all traffic from eth0 to my wireless interface (ath0).. should I be looking into firewall rules or bridging? Basically, I am lost. [06:55] crl: not firewall rules, you are looking at bridging ... or to be more specific, routing :) [06:55] so any1 can hlp me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/37901/ [06:55] slavik: how do I find the cpu-speed applet with gdeskapplet pal? [06:55] routing or NAT, so read up [06:55] how do i reboot without rebooting? [06:56] dfgas, Huh? [06:56] dfgas: how do I kill you without killing you? O_o [06:56] frybye: hmm ... open gdesklets and look for CPU related desklets [06:56] thanks [06:56] When will the next big release of ubuntu be? [06:56] in gentoo or slackware you could init 1 or whatever then init 5 and almost kinda reboot [06:56] is there a way to in ubuntu [06:57] slavik shure id did that but found nothing!? [06:57] dfgas: have you tried init? [06:57] frybye: hmm, it was a while since I used gdesklets [06:57] Hi.I define for my adsl connection 2 peer for tow account. How do I know which one is running in terminal(shell)??? [06:57] frybye: you just want to check CPU speed or want to monitor it all the time? [06:57] hmm for sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tempt I get mount point /mnt/tempt does not exist.. better create it.. [06:57] slavik, is it init 1? [06:57] there was supposed to be an addition load of applets in a gdesklets-data package but I am not sure where it is /how to access..? [06:57] then init 5 [06:57] dfgas: yes, it is [06:57] no [06:57] ? [06:57] init 2 is the default runlevel [06:57] i just want to see if the overclocking script i have is working? [06:57] oh === dmsuperman_ is now known as CheesyWeasel [06:58] and init 1 is not rebooting and not almost like rebooting either === CheesyWeasel is now known as dmsuperman [06:58] slavik, what would be then? [06:58] rebooting means unmounting all disks and unloading all drivers then telling the BIOS to reboot and loading a kernel image, etc. [06:58] without rebooting === konstanty_ is now known as konstanty [06:58] oh [06:58] dfgas: init 1 ... I've already said that [06:59] jason_: at least it works ;) [06:59] What does compiling your own kernel do for you? [06:59] http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/img/16319-13.png [06:59] That's the "infamous linux task (TM)" [07:00] Dazed: make it smaller? [07:00] frybye: it's there ... but I don't remember the name :( [07:00] no [07:00] yeah but like... how? [07:00] do you strip out printer support or.. whats going on there [07:00] Can anyone help with parallels demo install which didn't work? Never asked for my activation? Will pastebin error... [07:00] compiling your own kernel allows you to compile in the drivers for your hardware straight into the kernel and not as modules which have to be loaded [07:00] slavik: going to a-z appl list and also searching - nothing under "cpu" [07:00] ohhhh [07:00] is that faster? [07:01] Hi, I've PS/2 to USB converter which I am using for connecting mouse and keyboard to my laptop running 8.04 when I connect this device after I login , mouse works properly but key board doesn't get detected, to make it work I've to connect it at boot time. Is there a way to make it work when iam already logged into ubuntu? [07:01] frybye: it was something like "blah blah CPU monitor" [07:01] or something [07:01] I define for my adsl connection 2 peer for tow account. How do I know which one is running in terminal(shell)??? any idea?? [07:01] cypherdelic: it will work till the next upgrade to gdm... gdm is a the gnome display manager... not an XServer... .ignorance is bliss [07:01] slavik: is there a konsole command that will display the cpu-speed on a one off basis?? [07:01] i dont think it will be faste rif the precompiled kernel also fits your system [07:01] frybye: yes [07:01] hello, i was woundering, how would i know if someone is or already as hacked into my computer??? [07:02] slavik: and... it is ?? heheh [07:02] In here (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/unable-to-mount-usb-external-hard-drive-596525/) it says I have to use mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/temp and create the temp folder if it doesn't already exist, but I can't make any folders inside the mnt folder or drag and drop any files in it [07:02] dont make it so (Germ:) "spannend!" heheh [07:02] devo: when your bank account is empty, and you cant logon anymore [07:02] grep -i 'cpu mhz' /proc/cpuinfo [07:02] :) [07:02] wtf does that mean ziroday??? [07:02] DarkMage2303: Why? Try sudo? [07:02] http://qazsteve.pastebin.com/d3a890307 [07:02] slavik: good - so that is all I need really I guess.. tks [07:03] devo: its sarcastic, look at your logs [07:03] jason_: that might be true, but gdm loads xserver, so im on save side until the next update, dont tell me im ignorant, im asking for a better solation for day, for weeks, yes really for years, but nothing changed with that and nobody ever answered with something that could help, or did you, mr imthetrue-ignorant??? [07:03] and how would i look @ my log's??? [07:03] DarkMage2303: install pmount and use "pmount /dev/sdb2" or whatever your USB device is [07:03] i'm a noob when it come's with linux, i know a little bit here & there but not enough to get by [07:04] frybye: did you just want to check the cpu speed or see if the scaling actually works? [07:04] !info pmount [07:04] pmount (source: pmount): mount removable devices as normal user. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.16-4 (hardy), package size 84 kB, installed size 656 kB [07:04] devo: you have not been hacked, dont worry [07:04] hmm, cool. how's that work? [07:04] cypherdelic: gdm loads xserver? are you sure about that [07:05] but how will i know if i have though, that's my ? [07:05] devo: yes you have... [07:05] jason_: i mean you dont have a better idea either, so whats your problem with me? [07:05] zcat[1]: pmount is just like mount but you don't need to use sudo or stuff like that [07:05] ??? [07:05] handy [07:05] zcat[1]: yeah [07:05] devo: you're paranoid. but are you paranoid enough? === FrozenFire__ is now known as FrozenFire [07:06] Dazed, it still won't let me create the folder [07:06] cypherdelic: cause i was trying to help you and you told me to stop bugging you cause i wasnt helping ... i know the correct solution and you didnt want to listen.... so suffer when it breaks again and dont learn something... and be ignornant [07:06] jason_: im not sure of it, but it worked for me this way in the past and this time too. because when i logon into console and call /etc/init.d/gdm start then xserver starts so,.....? [07:06] i'm for real, can u tell me something, to know if someone has been hacked??? [07:06] devo: if someone already hacked your computer, they already have all the info ... so you're either screwed or not hacked yet [07:06] scott@scott-laptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdal /mnt/tempt mount: mount point /mnt/tempt does not exist [07:06] try something else then [07:06] DarkMage2303: sudo mkdir /mnt/temp [07:06] instead of dick'n me around [07:06] there was another link in that thread [07:06] devo: chk4rootkit I think, there are some others [07:06] to a how to of mounting usb externals [07:07] or try to make the folder from the command line if you havent alrady [07:07] jason_: ok im sorry for that but you said: cypherdelic: of course i understand. what you want is to use the configuration tool to write you a new xorg.conf file so that xorg starts with your new settings. unless you want to edit the xorg.conf file by hand [07:07] devo: good hackers don't leave traces and if you're paranoid, look into snort [07:07] devo: also just looking at /var/log/auth.log occasionally is a good idea [07:07] and no you understand me wrong, that was NOT what i want [07:07] i'm new when it come's with linux, remeber so i don't know what ur talk'n about, srry [07:07] i told ya what i want [07:08] devo: when someone says look into "blah", you type "blah" into google and start reading :) [07:08] devo: ubuntu is pretty secure by default, if you're not adding publically accessable services like apache or ftp I wound't be too worried about it [07:08] bull [07:08] devo: there is no "has been hacked" flag in any OS ... and to know if someone compromised a system, even years of SA experience might not be enough [07:08] im in devo's root right now === FrozenFire__ is now known as FrozenFire [07:08] jason_: i wanted nvidia-settings -l to load my profile simply before xserver starts [07:08] Its quiet handy how this program can also connect to IRC [07:08] anyone want credit card info? [07:08] zcat[1]: why would you add ftp? [07:08] not to modify my xorg.conf by hand [07:08] quite* [07:08] but what about bit torrent clint's though? [07:08] website applets are not loading properly..can anyone suggest a solution [07:09] jk [07:09] Dazed: no, his credit score is terrible, I checked. [07:09] Dazed: I just did a 'who' and I can see you! [07:09] oh no [07:09] im not wearing pants [07:09] devo: what about them? [07:09] website applets are not loading properly..can anyone suggest a solution [07:09] cypherdelic: because it doesnt work that way... but you hacked a solution... and kudos to you.... [07:09] dexter: 32bit or 64bit? [07:10] slavik; 64bit [07:10] r they secure? [07:10] dexter: that your name or is the nick after someone else? [07:10] like the show [07:10] dexter is the win [07:10] & i did read what u said about me that my credit is bad wtf is up with that?!?!?! [07:10] slavik; my name....y?? [07:10] dexter: your only choice is to isntalled icedtea jdk7 plugin, but I couldn't get it to work, so I don't have java applets either [07:10] Is there an option that works like: Uh, should you be touching that? Lemme at it. No, wait! DO NOT TOUCH! Backhands Linux. [07:10] dexter: there was a show called dexter on showtime [07:10] or hbo [07:11] hi everyone [07:11] one of them [07:11] Hi everybody! (Hi doctor Nick!) [07:11] slavik; i dunno abt that... [07:11] R0b0t1: it's called sudo [07:11] jason_: hm i hacked it, i dont think so, so nobody else has a antialiased cube, thats imposibble i found this on a forum some time ago (that its possible this wa), why is not maintainable, please? [07:11] dexter: look it up, it's nice [07:11] i have antialiased cube [07:11] slavik; https://www14.software.ibm.com/dldirector/tq04i.html this site is not loading [07:11] slavik; thanq [07:11] I know about that... But... argh [07:11] devo: well, as a rule the problem with things like that in windows is that it's easy to download a program instead of the file you wanted, and accidentally run it.. linux makes it much harder to accidentally run programs if you do download one, and also simply won't run windows trojans anyhow.. and there aren't really any linux trojans or viruses [07:12] dexter: doesn't work for me either :) [07:12] zcat[1]: there are, just nobody cares to use them :P [07:12] how can i maintain a program running after it (the program) is stoped (i.e Control+c ) [07:12] slavik: for all practical purposes there aren't .. a few dozen cf. many millions? [07:13] i mean nvidia-settings -l loads antialiasing when forced to all apps even xserver, whats the problem maintainig this, i dont get that [07:13] each time it stops how to retart it automatically?? [07:13] I keep getting You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. - even though I am using a Administrator account, and it doesn't ask for any password [07:13] zcat[1]: the other problem is that it is possible to defeat ActiveX in IE and install and unsigned components that can run arbitrary code in administrator mode, even if you set it to not download/install any ActiveX [07:13] so u r say'n that if i download music, movies, games, & programs i will NOT get some form of a virus??? [07:13] uh bad my monster of graphic card does fsaa by default ;) [07:13] devo: you could [07:13] zug tug [07:13] lol [07:13] Hi all! I have ubuntu x64 8.04 and I recently installed FireFox3 + flash in wine which hosed my screen after attempting to watch "I Survived A Japanese Game Show"... now ubuntu starts and there is no desktop, no GUI, no nothing. The good thing is that I can actually start a terminal window and execute commands. Could anybody help me figure out how to restore it? [07:14] cypherdelic: i seriously have better things to do... you got it to work... kudos [07:14] devo: it's called "exercising caution" [07:14] slavik: that's not really a torrent issue though.. but yes, security in general [07:14] DarkMage2303: you need to open up the file with sudo permissions [07:14] kudos? [07:14] cypherdelic: aka props [07:14] as in "hats off to you" [07:14] bu how, that's my ? [07:14] Dr_willis: are you there? [07:14] devo: you pretty much need to go out of your way to find anything and set about running it as a program... [07:14] ok thanks but i have to thank you anyone for beeing kindly [07:14] hi [07:15] cypherdelic: you're welcome [07:15] now go be useful to the world :) [07:15] .. and even then it probably won't work [07:15] FAJALOU - how can I choose to open it using sodu permissions? if I right-click on the file there is nothing about the permissions [07:15] anyone knows slideshow + audio app? (similar to iphoto) [07:15] zcat[1]: windows viruses can hose a wine install :( [07:15] DarkMage2303: what file? [07:15] slavik: to linux world, or at all? [07:15] cypherdelic: at all [07:15] I have a problem with my ubuntu i, it wont detect my other hard drive, its not a hardware issue, i dont know what else to do [07:15] drood: ntfs? [07:15] Drood: what have you tried so far? [07:15] i was here earlier and i was suggested to make sure it was well connected [07:15] yes NTFS [07:16] Is there anybody that knows how to restore ubuntu using terminal only? [07:16] I have ubuntu x64 8.04 and I recently installed FireFox3 + flash in wine which hosed my screen after attempting to watch "I Survived A Japanese Game Show"... now ubuntu starts and there is no desktop, no GUI, no nothing. The good thing is that I can actually start a terminal window and execute commands. Could anybody help me figure out how to restore it?

I've seen people deliberately try and fine one that will even run and spread.. most windows viruses use undocumented stuff and just don't work well or at all in wine [07:16] thedude: What color is your blank desktop? [07:16] sudo gedit /etc/fstab in terminal will open up fstab in gedit w/ sudo privs [07:16] so im familar, but very stressed, and im happy to sit once on the other side of the line, but this here is not the same [07:16] Dazed: blue [07:16] i thought that linux is soposto be like the #1 os & virturaly unhackibly & can't get any viruses??? [07:16] cypherdelic: same here ... except I have some retarded librarians to deal with, not to mention college students ... [07:16] devo: no, that would be openbsd [07:17] isnt openbsd linux? [07:17] No sound in Hardy, it says Failed to connect stream, what may be the problem? [07:17] you not beeing payed [07:17] devo: if you're a retard or a troll, you will not only get viruses, you'll also get your house blown up, now move on.

I visit all kinds of 'attack sites' and never picked up anything malicious... [07:19] FAJALOU, i followed the instruction on that link but after that it gave me this "No usable windows/mac partitions found [07:19] " [07:19] Hello. When i do mii-tool on ubuntu, i get this: SIOCGMIIREG on eth0 failed: Input/output error. Any thoughts? [07:20] Mitesh: why do that? you might want to get gstreamer back [07:20] like what? [07:20] help anyone? [07:20] slavik: yes [07:20] slavik: but i dont know the right streamer [07:20] devo: serials.ws .. ummm xp-vista-scan.com I think was mentioned on the reg today, so I went there... [07:20] Drood: so you used ntfs-3g [07:20] kool, thnx for the tips ppl [07:20] nope [07:20] ppl hlp! [07:20] hmm the more dangerous stuff would be through the command line [07:21] is that another command to put in the terminal [07:21] !patience | rgnr [07:21] rgnr: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [07:21] devo: also avoid random commands people on IRC give you :) [07:21] anyone knows slideshow + audio app?

[07:22] slavik: anyidea? [07:23] devo: warez is not a good idea. :) [07:23] !virus | devo [07:23] devo: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [07:23] Dr_Willi1: the reg mentioned one, the most agressive bit of extortionware/fake_av they've ever seen.. I went there and nothing happened in firefox, so I went back with MSIE/WinXP in virtualbox and got it nicely hozed!

I have a Cannon Pixma iP1000 printer and it will not work somthing about CUP error [07:23] Dazed: what was wrong with your xorg.conf? [07:24] kinda hard to 'warez' stuff when ppl are already giving it away for free ;) [07:24] it was sucking [07:24] does anyone know how to change resolution of login window in ubuntu 8.04? [07:24] I love how quickly Ubuntu restarts [07:24] RootRat: we can't read your mind, you'll have to be more specific [07:24] slavik: thank you:) [07:25] but would downloading music & movies from torrent sites or from bit torrent client's get me any virus???

[07:26] Ok thank you [07:26] slavik, is it a big download ? [07:26] since i was about 12 & i'm 25 u do the math ;-) [07:26] got a link ? [07:26] bbq^: no clue, never used it [07:26] ok [07:26] thanks [07:26] devo: you might download some viruses, but they just won't do anything unless you go to really extraordinary effort to install wine, associate them, and run them.. and even then they'll only have any effect inside the wine environment [07:26] DarkMage2303: what kinda problem you having with that hd? [07:26] DarkMage2303: you have tried to mount the thing manually? 'sudo fdisk -l' does show the device? [07:26] devo: then I will label you as a retard or troll, you pick [07:26] how do I change default adsl peer of adsl-provider to the other peer ??? [07:26] why is it so unconcievable for there to be a linux virus? [07:27] My sound is completely broken save for system beeps, and it has been since I installed Hardy.

VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50) [07:27] Dazed: it is conceivable, I can even write one very quickly, but some people are simply retarded and don't know their ass from their head after having used a computer for 13 years [07:27] Dazed: linux is a much harsher enviroment for viruii - is the main reason. :) [07:28] does anyone know how to change resolution of login window in ubuntu 8.04? [07:28] i don't know that much about linux, that's why i'm try'n to learn more about it so i know how to use it & so i don't have to keep ask'n other ppl for help when i'm in a jam with use'n linux [07:28] Okay I pasted my problem May some one have a look and advise me thank you http://paste.ubuntu.com/37909/ [07:28] Dr_Willi1: no, it's much harder to gain administrative access without asking the user for it ... [07:28] devo: so far, you have learned nothing [07:28] DarkMage2303: i dont have all night bro...whats your problem with the hd? [07:28] slavik, downloading it now for ubuntu thanks for the link, just can't stand some of those IDE's [07:28] Dazed: It's not inconcevable, it's just fairly unlikely ... windows has always had this thing where documents and executables get opened and/or run basically the same way, and pratically every document format has the option of putting bits of executable code in it. Linux nevr had either.. [07:28] devo: it's called common sense, use it! [07:28] slavik: thats ONE thing that makes the linux os harsher for viruii to exist. [07:28] I get a unable to mount error [07:29] so should i uninstall wine then??? cuz it came with ultimate edition which is what i'm use'n rite now [07:29] and I've tried a few guides on how-to fix it [07:29] show me [07:29] Dr_Willi1: there was a piece of code that would exploit something to get root access and it was not that long ago [07:29] ntfs? [07:29] yeah it is NTFS [07:29] Im the only one who uses this comp, how can i have permanent root priveledges [07:29] i have learned enough rite now, i have used linux for the past few week's & still learning thank u very much [07:29] this UAC crap is annyoing [07:29] slavik: and where is it now... theres always somthing poping up.. then getting fixed. I havent seen any recently. [07:29] I've tried the guide here, http://www.linuxconfig.org/Howto_mount_USB_drive_in_Linux [07:30] Dazed: you can't. Please don't ask again [07:30] hello [07:30] can I create a snapshot of my ubuntu installation so I dont have to re-configure everything when I re-install? [07:30] got question here [07:30] Dr_Willi1: the point is that it is doable (although as you said, much more difficult) [07:30] Why do you say that? That's the first time I asked. [07:30] DarkMage2303: so you make a directiroy with 'sudo mkdir /media/USBDRIVE' and try 'sudo mount /dev/DEVICENAME /media/USBDRIVE' or similer commands? [07:30] Vooloo: look into LaRoza's recovery program or w/e [07:30] Like im spamming or something [07:30] DarkMage2303: i like this kind of problems, cause it is real unsual to have a problem like this in ubuntu [07:30] why i cant retrieve list of partition when execute this command 'fdisk -l" [07:30] DarkMage2303: have you read dmesg to see if it give you any clues as to why? [07:30] how to change the default applications??like changing mplayer to default instead of totem... [07:31] Dazed: once you have stuff set up and are just doing 'normal user stuff' you will never need root access and won't be bothered about it... [07:31] slavik, any chance you having a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/37909/ and letting me know what I am doing wrong ? [07:31] KoolD: you can right click on a video file, and use its properties to change the default player I recall. [07:31] when you have some sort of problem like this one, try to go to google and point all your search to ubuntu speciafically...and not to "linux" [07:31] i know the first thing that u have to type in the terminal before u can install anything is sudo apt install then the appication's name [07:31] koolD: System>Prefrences>Preffered Applications [07:31] The error message is: Unable to mount drive [07:31] RootRat: did you type that up by hand? [07:31] nice [07:31] DarkMage2303: you coud force mount it... [07:31] No just copy and paste [07:32] can you paste fdisk -l? [07:32] apt-get [07:32] devo: add/remove or synaptic are much friendlier. YOu don't have to use the terminal and apt-get if you don't want to [07:32] ok so i forgot a small part [07:32] RootRat: I meant in the cups config file, did you type it up? [07:32] Dr_Willi1: thanks [07:32] Would the force mount make it work all the time or would I have to repeatly force mount it? [07:32] Hi all, I'm having a problem with ubuntu (8.04 AMD64): after I log in the only thing that loads is a blank blue screen, no toolbars, no desktop icons and only 2 of my workspaces are active. The "good" news is that I can start a terminal window and execute commands, I have internet and I can access firefox, etc. Does anybody know how to get my desktop back? [07:32] ever time I restarted my computer, or something like that [07:32] yeah i kinda did find that out the hard way, but thnx for tell'n it to me again ;-) [07:33] DarkMage2303: just once, and if it doesn't work you could add it as a script to startup commands [07:33] TheDude: go into a gnome channel, ask them which folders to delete to reset your config ... [07:33] slavik, I am brand new toUbuntu What is a Cups and what should I do (sorry ) [07:33] slavik: thanks :) [07:33] RootRat: how did you add that printer to your system? === [ID]-7283 is now known as georgeZl [07:33] cheese is not working ..it doesn't starts [07:33] slavik, it detected it by its self [07:33] TheDude: it's like .gconf and .gnome2 or something, I am not sure [07:33] dabbu: run it from a terminal, look for error messages. [07:33] Could anyone recommend a media player for Xfce that doesn't pull tons of KDE/Gnome dependencies and has MTP support? [07:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/37901/ [07:33] How do I force mount it? [07:33] slavik: roger that [07:34] so how can i make linux more sicure than it already is? [07:34] RootRat: ok, and what happens when you try to print something? [07:34] ja: vlc and mplayer are the 2 main video players i use. [07:34] devo: SELinux [07:34] devo: easy. Install openbsd instead ;) [07:34] devo: never go onto the internet :) - the science of prevention [07:34] or that [07:34] DarkMage2303: PM? [07:34] devo: stop using a computer ... btw, what was your major in college? [07:34] kk [07:34] really? just use selinux??? [07:34] I get this message slavik ...There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'. [07:34] Dr_Willil: Music player. [07:35] devo: how secure do you need it to be?!! [07:35] hello can i know wats the command to run php in ubuntu [07:35] RootRat: search google for your printer coupled with the word "linux" [07:35] i'm 25 & don't go to collage, don't have the $$$ for it [07:35] ServBOT: did you search google? [07:35] DarkMage2303: man mount [07:35] zcat[1]: hey! I figured out how to remote connect using X server forwarding [07:35] Okay slavik ....BRB [07:35] slavik: yes i did google but cant seem to find any [07:35] the flag should be -f [07:36] or something like that [07:36] danhs: awesome! [07:36] yep [07:36] enough so that i can download movies, music & stuff without have'n someone try'n to hack into my computer [07:36] pretty nice [07:36] ssh -X [07:36] danhs: now tell me.. I don't know how ;) [07:36] ServBOT: because there is a way and the package is php-cli or something of the sort [07:36] then gdmflexiserver --xnest [07:36] danhs: -X -C [07:36] devo: you're already there [07:36] it's a little bit slow....but it does work [07:36] devo: i do that all the time.. and i have no security 'issues' :) compared to doing simile rthings in windows. [07:36] -X -C? [07:37] yes, you want compression [07:37] gdmflexiserver opens up a new xserver session [07:37] hey all can someone recommend a paint program that is simpler and more convenient (for small tasks) than gimp [07:37] is there any command to show the partition details instead of $ sudo fdisk -l ? [07:37] something like ms paint but a bit bitter === dabbu is now known as Dabbu_G [07:37] -C tells ssh to compress stuff :), very nice when you want to send images over the net [07:37] window's sux & linux rules!!! that's what i say any one else wanna say someth'n different then be my guest? [07:37] zcat[1]: xnest opens the new xserver session up in a new window (or xephyr, but that seems more complex) [07:38] !advocacy [07:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about advocacy [07:38] hmmm... need a link in there [07:38] is there any command to show the partition details instead of $ sudo fdisk -l ? [07:39] well, what's better window's or linux??? [07:39] i say linux all the way!!! [07:39] :-D [07:39] pageold: df ? [07:39] If you want to use flash author tools, then windows. [07:39] devo: they are tools.. and it depends on the job you are doing. [07:40] If you want to edit video, windows. [07:40] devo: depends on what you run, what you run it on, and what you're comfortable with [07:40] what about putt'n a movie to a disk? [07:40] pageold: gparted could show them.. but if they are not seen with 'sudo fdisk -l' then theres a problem. [07:40] im looking for a app to change to the text type like for example "C source code (text/x-csrc)" for certian text files [07:40] zcat[1]: I'd like to figure out how to do this a little better.....make create a new xwindows session or something and then remote connect that over ssh.... [07:40] it's kind of interesting though [07:41] ok thnx guys [07:41] i know that with window's there r too many damn virir's with linux there is no room for error unless the person @ the controls does the error'n [07:41] am i rite? [07:42] cheese is not working in ubuntu..any help [07:42] or am i wrong? [07:42] devo: on linux, if you don't know what you are doing, it won't be any more secure than Windows [07:42] it was working but not now [07:42] is the adept updater buggy in kde 4.0? [07:42] pretty much, as a techie, i always say there's an issue between the keyboard and the chair. [07:42] true [07:42] did df only shoe the mounted volume only? [07:42] MaverricK: not issue, error [07:42] show* [07:43] yah.. [07:43] i make it more politically correct but you're right.. [07:43] so how can i put up a firewall in linux & know how to run it so that surrton port's can't be open & other's can? [07:43] geek_, sudo df only show mounted volume only? [07:43] now i have a ?, ubuntu installed with Gnome, I forget the apt get command to get KDE [07:43] MaverricK: or ID 10T errors [07:43] !ufw | devo [07:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about ufw [07:43] kubuntu-desktop [07:43] Heh.. hmm... [07:44] slavik teheh ID10T errors gotta love em [07:44] pageold: yeah [07:44] devo: the ufw command can do basic firewalling tasks.. or there sother frontends. [07:44] !firewall | devo [07:44] devo: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [07:44] pageold: what specifically do you wanna see? [07:44] can somebody tell me how to update to kde 41 with terminal. I can't find the command in a search. [07:45] ok geek_ , im about to do auto mount for windoz partition, but i need to do mount point, in order to do that i need to know specificly the details of partition eg size, name of partition, format n etc [07:45] smick002, sudo aptitude upgrade [07:45] smick002: you need to enable the proper repositoriues. and then update/upgrade - the kde4 channel hsa info on it. [07:45] !kde4 [07:45] KDE 4.1.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1 - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [07:45] how could i change a certian file types text type for example c files have "C source code (text/x-csrc)" and i want to change that of a certian file type. [07:45] $ sudo fdisk -l only show the format of parititon i think, but i cant identify which partition i should point to [07:46] DrWilli1: thanks, I'll check there. [07:46] ok fine, how can i install a really good anti virus program for linux then? [07:46] ppl help checkinstall doesn't see pidgin icons [07:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/37901/ [07:46] slavik: i have done apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, what do i do now? [07:46] pageold: thats when you need to look at the sizes and filesystem types , and perhaps mount one or 2 and see what ones are what. [07:46] devo: avscan and clamav (clamav is an awesone scanner, avscan is a nice gui frontned for it) [07:46] slavik, Thank you very much for your help ......... printer now working A OK [07:46] Mitesh: that should've given you gstreamer back [07:47] kool, thnx [07:47] RootRat: google was made by smart people [07:47] devo: there really are none that need to be installed to protect linux. The ones that exist. are normally for scanning for windows viruses. (which is handy for repair tools) [07:47] Hi, I'm trying to autoload my wireless network driver. I've followed the instructions but it's not working. instructions: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/37913/ . Can someone help me with this? [07:47] now what about a really good firewall? [07:47] Hey all, i tried to cp a cd with brasero, it failed.... then i thinked that dd maybe would do it and launched dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/home/carlos/gta.iso . ... it didn't work, just copied about 150MB and they are kinda nonsensical... why? [07:47] devo: firestarter [07:47] devo: read the bots !firewall factoid and learn about them. :) i dont bother with a firewall either. [07:47] slavik: what do i do the? [07:47] you need kubuntu-desktop [07:48] hey i installed ubuntu with wubi.. i managed to login.. but the tasks bar dont come out and it seems to hang then [07:48] ok srry [07:48] devo: btw just for the record I have no firewall and only use clamav to make sure I'm not passing virus-infected files to friends that use windows. [07:48] i don't wanna piss anyone off & srry if i am [07:48] :-( [07:48] debCarlos check dmesg output - it may be the thing couldent read the disk. also some games can have nasty copy protection that can make reading the disks hard. [07:49] kool [07:49] slavik: what do i do then? [07:50] is there a way to show running processes and kill them. It keeps saying adept is already running... arghh === konrad is now known as Kejk_PL [07:50] Dr_Willi1, damn'it, it must be the game.... i'll try with dmesg... but dd should have worked ? [07:50] Mitesh: that will isntall KDE, if you want to use it, select it in the session menu at the login screen [07:50] slavik: i dont want KDE [07:50] Mitesh: err [07:50] debCarlos: i have copied disks befor with dd. if you give it a blocksize artument of 2 to 4K it can cut the copying time in half in many cases [07:50] slavik: i want only the sound to come [07:51] oh ... [07:51] who wanted kde? [07:51] what's better kde or gnome? [07:51] slavik: eh [07:51] i think kde [07:51] but that's just me [07:51] devo: vanilla or chocolate? [07:51] Just updated and now my flash is broken, again, watch a few flash and after a bit I refuses to load them [07:51] Dr_Willi1, Can you give me an example? I mean, i'm not too familiar with dd... [07:51] slavik: ok what do i have to do to get my sound back? [07:52] set it to use alsa [07:52] debCarlos: dd bs=4k or some similer option. its proberly shown in dd examples all over the web. :) [07:52] vanilla on someday's & chocolate on other day's what about u? [07:52] devo: IMO try both. try a few other too. use what you like best ;p [07:52] devo: in ubuntu, 'gnome' is the main desktop and kde is kinda an afterthought. I find gnome more polished and cohesive.. [07:52] but I know many people who prefer kde [07:52] hey i installed ubuntu with wubi.. i managed to login.. but the tasks bar dont come out and it seems to hang then... what should i do? [07:52] LOL [07:53] it's kool [07:53] Dr_Willi1, Ok, but what format should i assign to the copied file? I mean, the of= part/// [07:53] debCarlos: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/ [07:53] any ideas guys how to setup remote desktop [07:53] debCarlos: of=filename.iso [07:54] devo: you install firestarter yet? [07:54] hi. so i'm just running update from 7.10 to 8.04 and i left it overnight, it was generating en_AU locale last night, and now, 10 hours later, it's still doing it. the localedef isn't responding to SIGTERM or even SIGKILL :( [07:54] Intial_M: danhs might be able to elp ;) [07:54] Dr_Willi1, Ok, thanks :D [07:54] btw, as a note, by default, Ubuntu does not enable the firewall [07:54] i didn't need to it was already installed when i installed ubuntu aka ultimate edition [07:54] what i have rite now [07:54] baggins: search google, that's how I solved it :) [07:55] devo: you still ned to run and configure it though, I believe.. [07:55] *need [07:55] devo: you proberly dont need to use ubuntu 'ultimate' edition at all either... [07:55] that's true [07:55] devo: did you know that you also have apache and mysql setup, and you happen to have phpmyadmin installed as well [07:55] i would, but firefox isn't working on account of being halfway through and update [07:55] s/and/an/ [07:55] and speaking of which your MySQL setup isn't secure [07:55] what??? [07:55] oh killing locale-gen helped. [07:56] devo: hmmm.. actually yes.. 'ultimate' is probably less secure than the official distro because you have lots of server stuff which is potentially a security risk [07:56] lots of errors, but at least it's moving. [07:56] devo: in fact using the 'ultimate' edition could make the system more INsecure. :) sice it may install services you dont need. [07:56] that and "ls /var/lib/mysql/" will produce a nice output. [07:56] can i some hoe remove all off my screen savers? [07:56] how* [07:56] so, what's the point of the ultimate edition again? [07:56] allup: dare we ask why? :) you could fire up the psckage manager. look for screensaver. and remove the packages i guess... [07:56] slavik: ive often wondered that myself. [07:57] so how can i take off all the other services that i don't need? [07:57] slavik: if you want lots of stuff installed by default I guess... [07:57] devo, run that command [07:57] and read the output carefully [07:57] 'ultimate' in not an official distro btw.. before you rag on about ubuntu not being secure.. if someone goes ahead and makes their own 'ubuntu pwn-me edition' there's not much we can do about that [07:57] Intial_M: zcat[1] mentioned me.... [07:57] zcat[1]: ultimate should be renamed into that ... [07:57] I was just playing with remote x over ssh [07:58] zcat[1]_: at least they dident pick a ego inflating name. :) [07:58] danhs: we learn, then we teach ;) [07:58] zcat[1]_: haha, indeed [07:58] I still don't like vnc tho.... [07:58] Pwnd Parakeet. [07:58] i ran the command in the terminal & this is what i got [07:58] debian-5.0.flag ibdata1 ib_logfile1 mysql_upgrade_info [07:58] devo_got_fingered ib_logfile0 mysql [07:58] i ask agen my guestion bechause pidgin shut down by it self any idea why? so can i remove some how all off my screensavers [07:59] lol [07:59] allup: dare we ask why? :) you could fire up the psckage manager. look for screensaver. and remove the packages i guess... [07:59] y is that funny?> [07:59] but gdmflexiserver with xnest over lan is pretty nice.... [07:59] zcat[1]_: still looking for similar setup that works well over public internet [07:59] cause xnest is a bit slow..... [07:59] moust off screensaver aren't workins so well as they should [07:59] sir danhs [08:00] hi just want to ask if you have tutorials on how to start remote deskto [08:00] remote desktop [08:00] devo, try that command again [08:00] Intial_M: I wish.....google search for gdmflexiserver and xnest [08:00] and then it's just ssh -X [08:00] that's what I was just playing with.... [08:00] danhs: you forgot -C [08:00] slavik: -C ? [08:01] yes, compression [08:01] compressed.. faster [08:01] ok tnx dahns [08:01] ahhhh [08:01] allup: it would be best to just set your screensaver to a simple 'blank screen' then . Or fire up the package manager, search and remove any you dont like. [08:01] where do I rat out a translator that is making false translations? [08:01] xgfhsdgfhsd: engligh to sweedish phrasebook? [08:01] ok & this is what i got devo@devo-desktop:~$ ls /var/lib/mysql [08:01] debian-5.0.flag devo_has_been_hacked ib_logfile0 mysql [08:01] devo_got_fingered ibdata1 ib_logfile1 mysql_upgrade_info [08:01] slavik: yea, if there's a better way to transport x session than using gdmflexiserver --xnest I'm very very interested [08:02] vnc is just so ghetto, and nx is crap [08:02] devo: next time, use pastebin [08:02] devo: golly.. looks like Ubuntu Ultimate edition. is somthing you really DONT want to be using. [08:02] slavik: how to set it to use alsa? [08:02] Dr_Willi1: worse than the pwn-me edition?! [08:02] what's pastebin??? [08:02] well, nx is really proprietary....nomachine's code works well, but, the open source.... [08:02] in the mutimedia system preferences or w/e it is [08:02] devo google nopaste [08:02] !paste [08:02] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:02] devo is a bad reader [08:02] dahns [08:02] no, in English Canadian, he translates to French, and also saying things like: Press Button to Begin ---> I AM SO GOOD WITH COMPUTERS [08:03] yeah i know i think i'm gonna install ubuntu 7.10 instead if that's the case [08:03] or 8.04 [08:03] devo: given that 8.4 is the latest.. why use the older? [08:03] what about remote desktop, coz my brother is out of the country [08:03] Dr_Willi1: 8.04 :) [08:03] is it possible to used the remote desktop [08:03] Intial_M: we were just talking about remote desktop :) [08:03] xgfhsdgfhsd: rather pythonesque.. [08:03] i cant understand [08:03] who will help me compile pidgin? [08:03] slavik: i want 8.90210 the Hollywood edition! [08:04] dr_willi1: problem is that this coputer runs xubuntu damm slow so i thought that i i remove something i don't need at all it would be even litle faster [08:04] lol [08:04] the server thing [08:04] slavik: is ti System>Preferences>Sound ? [08:04] should be [08:04] i can't get ubuntu 8.4 to work on my computer so i will install 7.10 instead srry [08:04] *if [08:04] Intial_M: the way I was just playing with is like this: setup a ssh connection to your remote machine with -X and -C arguments [08:04] allup: i doubt if that will help. and wont really save much disk space.. but do what you want. [08:04] then run (in your remote terminal) gdmflexiserver --xnest [08:04] what channel is the offtopic? [08:04] devo: just stick with the official 8.04 install, I think. [08:04] ok [08:04] not sure that that's the best way, but I [08:04] ok, this is crap, devo, if you won't even read what you paste, you need to stop using a computer ... [08:04] I'm not digging vnc or nx [08:04] but i dont know how to start [08:04] im so sorry [08:05] my computer was made for windows2000 & has very old part's in it [08:05] rather than running "Ubuntu Craptacular Edition" [08:05] dr_willi can you help me whit my problem whit cpu root is using allmost all the time 59% off cpu usage [08:05] Intial_M: what do you mean? [08:05] Intial_M: have you ever used ssh? === mkquist_ is now known as mkquist [08:05] ok i'll get ubuntu 8.4 but here can i get it though that is a secure place to get? [08:05] Dr_Willi1: is it me or is devo thick? [08:05] allup: fire up htop. or top and see what tasks are using the cpu i guess.. is the place to start. [08:06] no im not [08:06] devo: what's wrong with ubuntu.com? [08:06] hahaha [08:06] devo: You might try "ubuntu.com" [08:06] i know alredy root using command xorg [08:06] hey [08:06] dd is great! It can do everything lol [08:06] slavik: i often tell my friends i am teaching linux to to 'less chat, more read' :) and toss another linux book at them. [08:06] Intial_M: open up a terminal and type in sudo apt-get install ssh [08:06] debCarlos: :) yep. its sort of amazing what it can do [08:06] is it ok [08:06] im just afraid to do so [08:06] hehehe [08:06] Dr_Willi1: I was sure he would shit his pants after reader his last pasted output :( [08:07] Intial_M: well, get over it and let's move on [08:07] ok so i may be alittle slow with it tonight srry about that but i have been up since 5a.m. give me a break [08:07] dr_williw1:yep its root using command xorg [08:07] but how can i uninstall it in case [08:07] its 3 am here. :) [08:07] ubuntu is the distro of the future, check it... listen to Madball and old school Biohazard, I'm out... goodnight all [08:07] Can Someone help me? dpkg: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' for reading: No such file or directory [08:07] HEY I DON'T LIKE THAT SLAVIK OF WHAT UR SAY'N ABOUT ME!!! [08:07] just go into synaptic and right click remove if you want to remove it [08:08] s0 i'll just install it then on synaptic [08:08] Dr_Willi1, And i didn't know that dd means Data Destroyer. [08:08] allup: if you have a very low end machine. that xfce even bogs it down. You may want to use some uber-light window manager and file manager like 'jwm' and 'rox' [08:08] btw what does it for? [08:08] devo: start the downlaod and go to bed. come back when you're awake! [08:08] devo: like Dr_Willi1 said, more reading, less chatting ... if you don't read the output of the commands you run, I just wasted 15 minutes of my time. :( [08:08] yes, that's good advice [08:08] Intial_M: whatever makes you happy. I was just giving you the command line so that you didn't have to go through synaptic and point adn click and waste your time [08:08] and where i can get thouse? [08:08] i can use all the help i can get [08:08] ok i understand but what is ssh for? [08:08] allup: they are in the normal repositories. [08:08] devo: WE NOTICED ;) [08:09] sorry for asking too much [08:09] Intial_M: ssh is for "secure shell" it connects you to a remote computer over a secure, encrypted connection [08:09] LOL [08:09] !ssh [08:09] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [08:09] zcat[1]_: did you notice anything else? [08:09] ok [08:09] iam not very smart whit computer or its terms so could you sost paste link or something? [08:10] allup: http://google.com [08:10] allup: the normal package manager/add/remove tools have the programs in there. [08:10] so what does this mean then??? devo@devo-desktop:~$ ls /var/lib/mysql [08:10] devo: means your computer is trying to attack you [08:10] I can not get Ubuntu(64bit) to recognize either my dialup modem or the wifi. I am on here through windows. [08:10] ls = LiSt [08:10] !ls [08:10] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [08:10] but you want to read the output of that command, it is more fun [08:10] and scary at the same time [08:10] srry what does this mean??? [08:10] debian-5.0.flag devo_has_been_hacked ib_logfile0 mysql [08:10] devo_got_fingered ibdata1 [08:10] devo: i think its really really a good time to go find a few beginner bash tutorials like the ones the bot just posted. [08:10] Detrix, Hi :). Have you tried wvdial ? [08:11] devo: its a listing of the files in that directory. [08:11] rofl... you're kidding. [08:11] 2 of them are supposed to be messages [08:11] I give up, I cannot make this more obvious than it already is [08:11] so in other word's i've been hacked??? [08:11] slavik: hahaha [08:11] hahahahah [08:11] debCarlos: yes but I do not think the system knows there is a modem... [08:11] finally!!!!! [08:11] devo: and it does apear that your ubuntu ultimate edition - has some SERIOUS security holes in the mysql area. [08:12] devo: so i would suggest using a normal ubuntu install. [08:12] Detrix, why you think that ? [08:12] This is pretty funny stuff....hmmmm could this make it to bash.org? funny enough....hehe [08:12] devo, why did you decide to use the ultimate edition? [08:12] ok i'll come back on when i do have ubuntu 8.4 which i know is ahell of alot more secure than what i'm use'n rite now [08:12] good [08:12] devo: read some bash tutorials while the iso downloads also. [08:13] also isntall firestarter and run through the wizard [08:13] debCarlos: I tried modemScan and it suggests that I may need a 32bit driver!!! [08:13] devo: just pickup a weekend guide to unix or linux or something [08:13] cuz it had everything i wanted & didn't have to download anyth'n cuz they were just installed automaticly [08:13] Detrix, oh... don't know what to say ^^ [08:13] and run the following command "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop" (don't forget to enter your password) [08:13] slavik: ubuntu 8.04 uses ufw, its much easier tha devo uses that instead of iptables [08:13] how can i find out if my wireless network device is working? [08:13] Intial_M: did you get your stuff working? [08:13] what did u say??? [08:13] lol [08:13] when I run modemScan it seems to hang. [08:13] Ziroday: I use firestarter ... so it doesn't matter [08:14] mio: when you can connect to the internet with it [08:14] Detrix: you're using a modem for non-fax purposes? [08:14] I've also used ipfw which is easier ... [08:14] dr_willi1: i didn't find enything about rox or jwm with xfc4 appfinder === leopard is now known as ronnie [08:14] yes [08:14] Detrix: I don't think I've used a modem in about 10 years.... [08:14] Is it possible to theme gnome-screensaver's lock screen, just like it is possible to theme GDM's login screen? [08:14] that' [08:14] danhs: you remember what a modem is? [08:14] hahaha [08:14] Cobi: no [08:14] after installing ssh what next dahns [08:14] rofl [08:15] Are there any alternatives which are themable? [08:15] Intial_M: ssh into the remote machine [08:15] have a question. why isn't the ubuntu company accepting my disk requests???? [08:15] ssh -X -C [08:15] Ziroday: i'm looking for the command in terminal which will list the devices currently working ? [08:15] how to do that? [08:15] Actually when power goes out, i use my cellphone as modem :) [08:15] pl [08:15] I am not liking the dialup much either....I cant even get Ubuntu to recognize the wifi. [08:15] mio: try ifconfig -a [08:15] devo: you didn't run the command I told you to [08:15] so do the other pc needs to setup ssh also [08:15] Intial_M: yes [08:15] mio: but that will just tell you all the devices, not if they are working, pastebin that output and I will tell you [08:15] ok [08:16] so after? [08:16] what next? [08:16] what was the command??? [08:16] Ziroday: its on another system i am running here [08:16] Intial_M: also, you have to open up *port 22* on your remote machine [08:16] Intial_M: could be another one, but 22 is the default [08:16] ok [08:16] Ziroday: only shows Link ecap:Local Loopback [08:17] danhs: bt only if you enabled the firewall first.. by default it's open already ;) [08:17] mio: none of those are your wirelesss [08:17] errr I mean on your remote router....so you need to forward any incoming traffic on port 22 to the remote machine you're trying to access [08:17] slavik: what was the command that u wanted me to run??? [08:17] So how do I switch to the 32bit version of Ubuntu??? [08:17] it stops the mysql service [08:17] danhs: ahh yes... pinholing, sorry. [08:17] Detrix: download and install the 32bit version [08:17] any ideas how to change clock im using on conky [08:17] * danhs nods to zcat[1]_ [08:17] but what's the command line though??? [08:18] Detrix, I think you have to download the 32 bit version/. [08:18] coz its on 24 hr clock format [08:18] /etc/init.d/mysql stop [08:18] dpkg: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' for reading: No such file or directory Help? [08:18] Intial_M: prolly just right click it and change format or something silly [08:18] no its on conky [08:18] not the system clock [08:18] Intial_M: what's conky? [08:18] hehehe [08:18] will that overwrite the 64bit version? [08:18] devo: scroll up [08:19] I need the command for a forkbomb [08:19] devo: seriosuly it would be easier to just reinstall the standard install instead of what you have which appears to be ubuntu bent over with it's pants around it's ankles... [08:19] ;) [08:19] this is what I have to deal with at work ... [08:19] Detrix: after the reinstall it will override *everythin* [08:19] is a free software system monitor for the X Window System [08:19] zcat[1]_: hahahha great visual! [08:19] I need the command for a forkbomb [08:19] hahaha [08:19] ;) [08:19] zcat[1]_: and an insecure default MySQL setup [08:19] slavik: iceberg... [08:19] ? [08:19] tip thereof? [08:20] oh, yeah [08:20] the firewall is not enabled [08:20] well I guess I will try installing the 32bit. [08:20] rpcbind is also listening on the network [08:20] !find jwm [08:20] Found: jwm [08:20] does anyone know of a slideshow + audio app?

Version 2.0.1-1.1 (hardy), package size 93 kB, installed size 284 kB [08:20] dahns [08:20] Yea I think in general going from 64 bit to 32 bit is insane [08:21] is it ok if i will test remote [08:21] there is no hardware firewall or any of that stuff (if there is, the system is in DMZ) [08:21] slavik: ok i ran the command line that u wanted me to, now what??? [08:21] with your ip [08:21] r0bby: :(){ :|:& };: [08:21] owen1: f-spot [08:21] allup: its in the universe repository. I just isntall with 'sudo apt-get install jwm' [08:21] zcat[1]_: he's left already [08:21] Sorry, ignore that r0bby [08:21] Intial_M: errrrr you don't have a login on my machine tho [08:21] :) [08:21] hehehe [08:21] Ziroday: it has no audio, only slideshow. [08:21] i just want to experience using remote [08:21] owen1: sorry, possibly digikam? [08:21] devo: now angry ukrainians won't create files on your system called "devo_got_hacked" in case you missed that ... [08:22] Ziroday: let me google for it. [08:22] anyone can tell me how I can compile C# source code in ubuntu? [08:22] <_numbers_> hell yeah! this works nicely :) [08:22] owen1: its in the repos, you can install it with sudo apt-get install digikam [08:22] plss dahns [08:22] hehehe [08:22] yakobmatrix: I suspect 'mono' would be a start [08:22] !mono [08:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about mono [08:22] Ziroday: i'll try it now. thanks [08:22] Intial_M: if you really need a remote host, I'd sign up for dreamhost [08:22] <_numbers_> fedora was nice but this just feels better XD [08:22] i did run that other command & it still came up the same "devo_got_hacked" [08:22] owen1: have fun [08:22] what is that? [08:23] GGGRRR [08:23] Intial_M: there are tons of companies that will give you a remote linux machine for a very small fee [08:23] oooppss [08:23] devo: yes, but he can't make a file called 'devo_got_hacked_again now [08:23] zcat[1]_, I already tried mono, but I encounter this error when I try to compile it. [08:23] Intial_M: my system is really meant to be a private secure system. I'm not in a position to open up my box to strangers [08:23] i thought that it was for free [08:23] Build failed. Executable not found: /usr/bin/gmcs [08:23] what does that mean? [08:23] yeah i understand [08:23] finally, he got it [08:23] !gmcs [08:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about gmcs [08:23] so then what, he can't get in my computer now or what? [08:23] no idea! [08:23] yakobmatrix: read what it says ... [08:23] but i dont know anything about this [08:23] !info gmcs [08:23] Package gmcs does not exist in hardy [08:24] actually im the one who is afraid though [08:24] devo: well, he can't get in through mysql... [08:24] what does it says? [08:24] devo: there is still a way, just not worth the eddort [08:24] coz it can be vice versa [08:24] Intial_M: really, pay $5 to dreamhost and myself or someone else here can walk you through it [08:24] right? [08:24] yakobmatrix: read it slowly [08:24] so how can i stop him from gett'n into my computer??? [08:24] no thanks [08:24] slavik, I have no idea [08:24] Intial_M: huh? what's the question? [08:25] actually im the one who is afraid though [08:25] !info mono-gmcs | yakobmatrix [08:25] coz it can be vice versa [08:25] yakobmatrix: mono-gmcs (source: mono): Mono C# 2.0 and C# 3.0 compiler for CLI 2.0. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.6+dfsg-6ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 349 kB, installed size 1076 kB [08:25] what's the solution? [08:25] Intial_M: yea, I'm not sure what of though [08:25] because im the noob here remember [08:25] yakobmatrix: you probably need that package [08:25] hey I have a question about file sharing, I want to be able to transfer files faster, what ports does file sharing use? [08:25] What's the program to decompress TTA (True Audio codec) with? [08:25] so how can i stop him from gett'n into my computer??? [08:25] Intial_M: you have nothing at risk. you have nothing to be afraid of [08:25] file sharing through lan fyi***** [08:25] that's it [08:25] yakobmatrix: google is your friend [08:25] devo: we already told you about twenty times... [08:25] Intial_M: really, spend $5 think of it as gallon of gas and get a month of dreamhost service or someone else [08:26] devo: read the chat, we already told you what to do and you already did it [08:26] so why your afraid? [08:26] zcat[1]_: devo is too funny....maybe microsoft sent him here [08:26] <_numbers_> lol [08:26] Intial_M: me? because I don't know you and i don't want you to crash my computer! [08:26] boho103: why does it matter which ports are used by 'file sharing' ? [08:26] slavik: well, no.. I suggested using something other than pants-around-ankles edition... [08:26] boho103: Through what protocol? [08:26] i will piss on microsoft anyday of the week [08:26] Intial_M: or create any kind of crazy problem for me! [08:26] OK, thanks I'll try [08:26] hehehe, what makes you think that i can do that [08:26] if we had a history, then I'd consider it.... [08:27] Slavic: I want to forward the ports through router because most of my ports are blocked [08:27] zcat[1]_: is it wrong to think that you have to be certified with some certification before being allowed to use a computer? [08:27] Intial_M: cause I *know* you could if I gave you that kind of access [08:27] even ssh i dont know [08:27] Intial_M: like I said, my computer isn't set up to be an ISP [08:27] slavik: I suspect devo is certified.. but not in a good way... [08:27] no man, im not that kind of person you are thinking [08:27] slavik, yes I know. thanks [08:27] Intial_M: Please stop. [08:27] :-) [08:27] Intial_M: I'm not in a position to open up my server as a public space [08:27] WHAT!!!

I've already had FAJALOU trying to help me but so far we've been unsucessful [08:28] btw tnx for the tutorials [08:28] devo: remove the mysql service would be a start. I belive. [08:28] Intial_M: np [08:28] boho103: "sharing files" would allow anyone to connect and look at them [08:28] Intial_M: really, if you want a computer to practice on, *pay* people who do this professionally [08:28] LOOK MICROSOFT CAN KISS MY ASS CUZ I AM A LINUX!!! [08:28] bluehost, hostmonster, dreamhost, etc [08:28] that and you need to learn some more (at least you're not hopeless) [08:28] beside i just want to access the pc of my brother in abroad so that i can setup his ubuntu apps [08:29] devo: leave your caps at the door [08:29] <_numbers_> is someone using compiz fusion on ubuntu that knows how to install it?? [08:29] ok [08:29] Slavic: what do you mean, I just want to raise my transfer rate through my lan, I think its capped right now but I want to raise it [08:29] Intial_M: tell your brother to run this command sudo apt-get install ssh [08:29] _numbers_: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [08:29] then you can remotely connect [08:29] ok and then [08:29] <_numbers_> x64 [08:29] boho103: who would cap it? think about this [08:29] how can we able to connect to each other [08:29] then connect and run whatever you want [08:29] hi to all [08:29] your help please i set crontab to run my small script file but it does not any body knows how to [08:29] slavik, thanks it works. I can compile C# source code now.

[08:30] slavic: I think samba is capped, the file sharing program, or maybe there is a setting in a menu for file sharing that has to do with transfer rate? [08:30] what borough? [08:30] manhattan [08:30] slavik, I just want to get this over with quickly [08:31] boho103: no, it is not [08:31] brooklyn :) [08:31] slavik: I live in the east village [08:31] but anyway thanks for your help [08:31] east village is where?

[08:32] slavic: then how is it that I can download a file off the internet faster then I can transfer one through lan? I've gotten 1.5 mbs downloads before, but I'm capped around like 700 kps through file sharing, this just doesn't seem right to me [08:32] !offtopic [08:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[08:49] the usual rule is try and keep permissions as limited as you can while still allowing what you need to do.

[08:50] This looks like good advice; "Volume is corrupt. You should run chkdsk" [08:50] zcat[1]_: humm your suggestion worked, btw, the readme was pretty bad :) [08:50] Yeah, but how do I run the disk check? I've never used Ubuntu or any Linux OS [08:50] Only Winblows [08:50] hmm [08:50] FAJALOU, does this still return anything? lsof | grep -i "/home/louie/Network" [08:51] does fsck do ntfs? [08:51] DarkMage2303: Hmm.. hang on.. /dev/sdb is the whole drive.. normally you have partitions like /dev/sdb1 [08:51] mio:lsmod [08:51] hrmm...lets say I want to have a bash script that prints the output of "uprecords" to a file, how would I do that? cat uprecords > file?

[08:52] FAJALOU, hmm. you still have a terminal/shell open that is accessing this directory .. [08:52] \j #linuxac [08:52] DarkMage2303: you need to boot into vista recovery mode and run chkdsk /f and then reboot twice and then try mounting it! === xintron_ is now known as xintron [08:52] sigh, Vista takes ages [08:53] lol [08:53] Yeah [08:53] unop: opening system-manager to investigate [08:53] Just to load up the bloody vista - without installing - takes ages [08:53] DarkMage2303, what are you trying to do? [08:53] FAJALOU, you could just kill that pid. kill 4452 [08:53] DarkMage2303: suggestion; try "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb" and see what it says.. it should say something about /dev/sdb1 NTFS which would mean your windows partiton is /dev/sdb1 [08:53] I want to be able to use my USB external hard drive with Ubuntu [08:54] DarkMage2303, what does have to do with Vista ?

[08:55] DarkMage2303, mmmm, ok [08:55] the 80 GB hard drive is my external hard drive [08:55] my ubuntu box is more likelly to be damaged during thunderstorm then my windows XP box. how to fix it? [08:55] FAJALOU, that's a bit unsafe .. you should run an fsck on the device now to make sure [08:55] my computers hard drive is only 52 GB or so [08:55] btw, silver star to anyone that knows why [08:55] two 26 GB drives. [08:55] unop: just run sudo fsck now? [08:55] DarkMage2303: did it say anything about /dev/sdb1 in there?

[08:58] does anyone know of a good open source alternative to m$ one note? seen it used at work and looks v good. [08:58] but it still won't mount the drive [08:58] unop: how should i fsck it? [08:58] just upgraded to hardy, wondering if anybody else has heard of this problem, but I can't play any media, in any player, so for example, I'll open a ogg or mp3 in banshee or rhthmbox, and it just sites there, no errors, I can pause and unpause, but it doesn't stream the song, no indicitation of it playing at all [08:58] FAJALOU, it was a bit unclear from your mount output which network volume was mounted there - basically you want to fsck the device that housed the shared directory [08:58] DarkMage2303: mounting /dev/sdb or /dv/sdb1 ? You can't mount a 'drive' .. you can only mount a 'filesystem' [08:58] bbl [08:58] I know this is offtopic.. But you know this server better than I. Is there a 3dsmax channel here? [08:59] DarkMage2303, how are you trying to mount this device exactly? [08:59] unop: so the device that housed ~/Network? [08:59] Can I talk to someone in private chat about this - to many people in here joining/leaving and talking [08:59] FAJALOU, no, the device that housed the shared directory that was mounted on ~/Network .. [08:59] FAJALOU, this might be on a remote machine [08:59] hi just installed gnash and tried watching youtube with no avail, can someone tell me how can i get flash working "without crashing the browser"? [09:00] Sa[i]nT: "/msg alis list #*whatever*" will search for channels with "whatever" in their name [09:00] DarkMage2303: not that it's clean, just unplug it, wait a few seconds, plug it back in.. it should automount after twn seconds or so.. [09:00] binbrain: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [09:00] okay === matehortua is now known as m4m4 [09:00] let me check [09:00] unop: that was my computer's home directory... [09:00] a [09:00] a [09:00] <_numbers_> whats the default to turn of print fire compiz fusion effect ?? [09:00] I'll plug it in , in about 30 seconds [09:00] VipOrX: doesn't look like it [09:01] ok, install it and try [09:01] install it? [09:01] Pirate_Hunter: uninstall gnash, install flashplugin-nonfree.. my eperience with gnash is that it's "not quite there yet" [09:01] FAJALOU, i'm confused .. you mounted a local share on a local directory? [09:01] accidentally; yes [09:01] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:01] :D [09:01] zcat[1]_: yah i tried non-free it wasnt helpful it crashed firefox everytime :/ [09:01] FAJALOU, ok, then you fsck the device that houses the home directory [09:01] aq buraSý nereSi Lan:D [09:01] zuhaha [09:02] aq türkü varmý Lan qanalda:D [09:02] FAJALOU, that might require you to step down into single user mode and unmount the device first [09:02] unop [09:02] zcat[1]_: If yours work did you have to do any extra steps, if so, what did you do? [09:02] Pirate_Hunter: that's a bit odd.. I have flashplugin-nonfree on four machines here and none have any problems with gootube [09:02] Okay I took out my external HD and plugged it back in after about a minute and I got Unable to mount the volume. [09:02] how are u unop? [09:02] how are u unop? [09:02] so sudo fsck /dev/sda3 ? [09:02] Pirate_Hunter, hold one second... there is a library that is helping this problem... [09:02] :D [09:02] or how can i just force an fsck on startup? [09:02] RuhsuZ: Please stop. This channel is only for support questions. [09:03] FAJALOU: sudo touch /forcefsck [09:03] :( [09:03] VipOrX: ok ill be here waiting, please dont forget me :( [09:03] Flannel: that will also work if /home is on a different partitions?

Hmm.. [09:04] brb [09:05] binbrain: you still cant play which media types after install restricted extras? [09:05] yah, I need to upgrade then [09:05] hi.. can someone help me with a problem im trying to fix since 3 days now .. i need someone with good knowledge of ubuntu to understand this actually === RuhsuZ is now known as unSouL [09:05] Don't forget about me :( [09:05] Vegombrei: out of my depth then ;) [09:06] !ask [09:06] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [09:06] DarkMage2303: ok.. where were we? [09:06] zcat[1]_: :) [09:06] VipOrX: yup works like a charm and just found some weird video on youtube XD [09:06] anyone could tell me why do i keep getting the message make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. everytime I try to install xchat or any other program [09:06] I unplugged my external hard drive and plugged it in after about one minute and it still doesn't mount [09:06] Pirate_Hunter: good deal [09:07] sup [09:07] VipOrX, installed, shutdown music players, tried again, nothing [09:07] 20:05:27 (20.48 MB/s) - `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list' saved [180/180] [09:07] ^ hmm 20.48 MB/s looks good [09:07] DarkMage2303: op, pop a terminal if you don't have one open.. [09:07] What keys correspond to the scancodes e02a, e023, e015, e026 and e06e in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=172010? [09:07] which media type binbrain? [09:07] is there a gtk package or something you have to install in order to make the OS recognize the 'make' function? [09:07] I've had one open for awhile lol [09:07] please. [09:07] VipOrX: yah if i knew that was all i was missing i wouldve installed flash10 instead but watdheck 9 works fine [09:07] pretty with sugar on top :) [09:07] use anjuta to automate it [09:07] rhythmbox, banshee, and totem, all exhibit the same behavior [09:07] dmesg | tail and see if the last line or two mentioned sdb? [09:08] dorito: [09:08] i can play media online though [09:08] dorito, try installing the 'build-essential' package yet? [09:08] binbrain: kmplayer [09:08] let me try [09:08] no but I ran the update [09:08] dorito: Apparently, You are calling make from the wrong directory. [09:08] no [09:08] I double checked [09:08] are there new features in compiz fusion [09:08] I even copied the directory into another location [09:08] so i heard its gonna be ported in os x [09:08] going to take a while, installing all that kde stuff [09:08] is true or not [09:09] dorito: Does it contain a file named Makefile? [09:09] binbrain: kmplayer works for me when all the others are screaming about codecs even tho I have gstreamer installed. [09:09] binbrain: WHAT media type are you not able to play locally? [09:09] DarkMage2303: still there? [09:09] Igramul sec. [09:09] i cant brower getdeb.com on firefox 3 but with firefox 2 or opera i can [09:09] dorito: However, using make is not the recommended way to install software for ubuntu. Try using "apt-get". [09:09] any one can help me to install my microfonß [09:09] yeah [09:09] makefile.am [09:10] its in the folder [09:10] dorito: Wrong one. [09:10] yes I am [09:10] can anyone tell me if there was something in the most recent update that would make things like vbox not work? [09:10] weird, kmplayer seems to work, wonder if some gnome sound thing [09:10] Just looking at some websites [09:10] :-$ [09:10] dorito: That's for a tool called "automake". I'm no expert with that one... [09:10] DarkMage2303: sudo mkdir /media/disk [09:10] binbrain: kmplayer plays music with pure awesomeness. [09:10] theres only two makefile files makefile.am and makefile.in [09:10] done [09:11] I downloaded two packages from xchat's sourceforge page and tried with them both [09:11] binbrain: And it supports like -everything- mp3 avi flv mkv some of many [09:11] none seem to recognize the command make after ./configure [09:11] DarkMage2303: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o uid=$UID [09:11] .. I think [09:11] dorito: Why don't You run "apt-get install xchat" ? [09:11] are you trying to install xchat dorito ? [09:12] VipOrX: He is. [09:12] is that the xchat ubuntu gets through synaptic? [09:12] yes VipOrX [09:12] is it possible to install .exe games without downloading anything, like wine? [09:12] done [09:12] DarkMage2303: no errors? [09:12] dorito: follow Igramul 's directions [09:12] nothing came up after I did it [09:12] okay [09:12] so either no errors or it didn't work [09:12] Tjbond: no, you need either wine or VirtualBox. [09:13] ok, ls /media/disk and you should see all your files (or go there in nautilus) [09:13] when i open a URDU webpage, the fonts are not readable 100%, is there any package for URDU fonts? [09:13] hey! looks like they are [09:13] I'm a new member to linux, so thats good to know. [09:13] hey, I rock! ;) [09:13] dorito: click system, administration, synaptic Its your best friend :) [09:14] So it should work now? [09:14] I just figured out in my System->Preferences->Sound I can't play the sound tests [09:14] i hear nothing [09:14] no idea why it didn't automount tho.. [09:14] okay zcat [09:14] can I have your baby... even though I am a guy [09:14] :) [09:14] DarkMage2303: make a note of how you mounted it.. also 'sudo umount /media/disk' before you unplug it again..

[09:16] changing all of the sound preferences to ALSA, the only 1 that worked, fixed all the players [09:16] no Dr_willis [09:16] dorito, xchat-gnome (not sure on tha tone) but the normal xchat does have a user list. [09:16] checked on forums [09:16] dorito: its the same xchat as source, play with the configuration, its in there [09:16] it seems that versions lacks that function [09:16] oddly [09:16] DarkMage2303: and if not.. unmounting it and adding the option "-t ntfs-3g" should fix that [09:16] can someone why is firefox using 102% cpu when watching flash [09:17] so basically, autodetect didn't work for whatever reason [09:17] LOL [09:17] userlist needs to be .... er what Dr_willis just said.... god I'm slow tonight [09:17] Pirate_Hunter: 'cos flash isn't all that efficient? [09:17] 102% of your CPU? [09:17] lol [09:17] never thought that was possible [09:17] damn flash is awesome and users more of your CPU then you have! [09:17] Pirate_Hunter: you just made me spit beer all over my keyboard [09:17] My CPU also goes to 11 ! [09:17] uses* [09:17] DarkMage2303: yup thats what top says [09:17] does somebody know whether it is possible to have evolution show the 'send-receive' button , even when I'm not connected to the net? I use fetchmail to get my mail, and would like to be able to see my new mail (fetched by fetchmail) even when i'm offline. [09:17] this is driving me nuts it keeps saying no rule to make target [09:18] *sadface* [09:18] I just need to get WoW working then I never have to use vista again [09:18] woot [09:18] zcat[1]_: right now flsh is pausaed and firefox is at 96%cpu [09:18] DarkMage2303 its do-able [09:18] DarkMage2303, or just stay with IRC - the ultimate MMORPG [09:18] lol [09:18] DarkMage2303: I got WoW going in WINE.. it was surprisingly easy! [09:18] dorito, either the source package you are trying to build does not support any make targets, or you are in the wrong directory [09:18] lol [09:18] i want to open http://www.bbc.co.uk/urdu/ , BUT i cant see the contents of the website, how to install urdu package in ubuntu 8.04 ? [09:18] i dont get how to do wine stuff [09:19] DarkMage2303: yah flash uses 95-100+ cpu hmmm is this bug with flash9? [09:19] Does Ubuntu have anyway to safely remove hardware, like Windows has? [09:19] Tjbond: install win, double click your exe [09:19] unop I tried with two different packages both instructions say make [09:19] and I am in the right directory :S [09:19] "flash is nonfree software, therefore we cannot provide support for it" ;) [09:19] DarkMage2303, sure; right click safely remove option [09:19] root@dorito-desktop:~/xchat-2.8.6# [09:19] lol [09:20] i thought i installed wine.. [09:20] dorito, do you have a README or INSTALL file in that directory? [09:20] but i guess not... [09:20] argh lol [09:20] yep [09:20] read them [09:20] dorito, the xchat synaptic is _the same_ xchat you are trying to compile [09:20] DarkMage2303: normally the disk would automount and you get an icon for it on your desktop .. and you can right-click that to unmount.. "sudo umount" is the *NIX equivalent of "safely remove." [09:21] you just have to configure your userlist [09:21] VipOrX how do you know? its a different version [09:21] no one is helping me :( [09:21] this is bad [09:21] zcat[1]_, some removable devices require you run "sudo eject" too after a "sudo umount" .. like ipods [09:21] Oprt1, patience is a virtue.

I'm not even sure what it is =) [09:22] unop: Hmm.. wasn't aware of that!! Glad I didn't mess up any ipods becaise of that [09:22] awww thanks [09:22] Oprt1, ive never heard of 'urdu' befor. so cant help. really.

[09:23] dorito, you did do a ./configure , befor you did a make? [09:23] dorito, you might need to use sudo there [09:23] omg [09:23] thanks guys lol [09:23] got wine to work :) [09:24] dorito, because its compiling here fine [09:24] I just use the button in the top right hand corner, Shutdown and it shuts down fast [09:24] alright its installing now! [09:24] and now it is time to setup Wine [09:24] :D [09:24] yay [09:24] Already downloaded it :) [09:24] and installed [09:24] unop: Oh... if I right-click unmount/eject ubuntu is probably smart enough to know that.. I never unmounted an ipod from the command line so wasn't a problem.. [09:24] thanks tons [09:24] DarkMage2303: 'wine windowsprogram.exe" [09:25] * Dr_willis dosent bother trying to compile xchat now... :) [09:25] lol [09:25] no that last sudo command did the job [09:25] DarkMage2303: there's some wine helper programs too, in case you want to switch to win98 or win3.11 for programs that don't get XP [09:25] given how xchat normally works over the years.. each new version seems to have less features. [09:26] Dr_willis: less is more!! [09:26] !netsplit [09:26] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [09:26] I was surprised to see the latest doesnt have a userlist [09:26] yea, less is more :) [09:26] I mean, whats the point? [09:26] zcat[1]_, yea! we dont need no 'ignore user' on the right click menus. [09:26] dorito_, it does have a userlist .. select View > User List [09:26] dorito_, the noirmal xchat under ubuntu - does.. xchat-gnome dosent. (i think) and i normally hide the userlist anyway [09:26] bah, remind me to set /ignore parts and joins sometime... [09:27] hey zcat[1]_ [09:27] zcat[1]_: You client should be able to take care of netsplits. [09:27] .. assuming the program still has that feature... :) [09:27] zcat[1]_: well basically i have 2 hdds one 250 and one 80 .. the 250 is primary sata and 80 being secondary .. the 250 has a partition with windows on it .. and when i installed ubuntu i dedicated the 80 gb to it .. now since i been using ubuntu since almost a month now i think windows is shit and wanna get rid of it .. how do i format the entire 250 and include it into ubuntu . mind you the 250 is the primary hdd so you think it'll boot from the other [09:27] how do I remove a torrent in rtorrent? [09:27] "^K" in the manual but it's not working [09:28] lol [09:28] I loaded up WoW and it is so f----- up without Wine [09:28] and it left my screen resolution huge [09:28] DarkMage2303, i belive wow may benifit from some 'tweaks' in wine [09:28] johnny you know ^ = control ? [09:28] DarkMage2303, no cursing [09:29] Vegombrei, which harddisk houses /boot ? I'm assuming the second one does? [09:29] DarkMage2303, somthing to do with gl options i recall.. and thats all i recall [09:29] Vegombrei: I'd be inclined to just reinstall to the 250 then copy anything you want to keep from /home on the 80... depends how much you've done with it though === blub is now known as blubbi [09:29] I didn't curse, I used --'s :P [09:29] I'll brb, restarting my computer. [09:30] DarkMage2303, dont do that [09:30] DarkMage2303, obfuscated swearing is still swearing. [09:30] we can fill in the blanks [09:30] k :( [09:30] unop: as I understood.. /dev/sda is all NTFS with GRUB, /dev/sdb is ubuntu.. === num1_ is now known as num1_away [09:31] zcat[1]_, Vegombrei .. it should be as straight forward as formatting the 250G partition and allocating a mount-point .. the MBR should remain untouched, allowing linux to be booted .. but that depends on whether you use grub as the boot manager [09:31] unop: also depends.. it would be 'nicer' to have the first drive be the install... [09:32] where is version.h (for kernel) located? [09:32] zcat[1]_, i don't think so, it really doesn't make a difference [09:32] unop: well... asthetically ;) [09:32] linkmaster03, the kernel-headers package probably [09:33] also large drives tend to have more cache, better speeds... [09:33] unop: ty [09:33] so there may be some other advantages [09:33] my firefox crashes alot when trying to watch youtube videos [09:33] I am back :) [09:33] Gin, yep. Flash is a pain.

[09:39] it would ne nice if there is app in the background that can warn me when my /home is almost full . [09:39] DarkMage2303, also its possible that /dev/sd## may change depending on what other devices you plug in. [09:39] USB [09:39] Hmm.. ok, yes. Stumped [09:39] Gin, there are various monitor tools, and you could write a script i guess. :) or applet. [09:39] DarkMage2303: yes and what Dr_willis says... [09:39] Bodsda, you around? [09:39] I blame my ex hd [09:39] >:( [09:40] I rarely even use any automounting stuff these days. [09:40] it doesn't like ubuntu since it worked fine on windows xp/vista [09:40] Dr_willis, I meant Ubntu should include that by default [09:40] reformat it as ext3 ... after you copy the files off it of course.. [09:40] Gin, add it to the list of 100000000000+ other things people think it should include by default. :) [09:40] that will limit your options using it with vista tho [09:40] kk, I'll copy off my important files then reformat (moving WoW may take a bit, lol) [09:40] when I went to twinview, I have a tear in my wallpaper, a 10 pixel gap on the left-side of the right monitor. changing wallpapers settings doesn't matter so far. what is that? [09:41] I wonder if anyone else has a stack of 'removeable usb hard drives' like I do.... [09:41] I must have 4 of the things now. [09:41] lol wine is being a bitch, and not workin [09:41] Dr_willis, yes, but this one is a must. beside it's not so hard to code it [09:41] Dr_willis: I have a stack of small laptop drives and a usb-to IDE/SATA adapter .. [09:41] wine never works [09:41] most over rated thing ever [09:41] Gin, i dont consider it a must. :) [09:42] Trying to archive (compress?) 60GB of stuff.. ftw.

[09:43] Gin, i don't consider it to be that necessary .. it's a nice-to-have feature, but not critical [09:43] If I change the format to ext3 will it delete everything off the hard drive? [09:43] What Codig registertion mIRC? [09:43] I could think of other things Ubuntu could need worse. [09:43] DarkMage2303, yes [09:43] question, is there a way to force reboot the computer.

You are *probably* looking for another channel, at least. [09:45] xokadim, ask in #mirc perhaps [09:45] Dr_willis, I don't have the time to sit here and watch it [09:45] unop, :) [09:46] how can i force my computer to restart [09:46] ... or #bsa [09:46] no no brothers.. [09:46] Gin, install a desklets program then [09:46] I would like to know the command register the purchase mirc [09:46] the command / registrarion [09:46] Gin, but its sooooo purty. :) handy when doing a lot of filecopies also to external devices that might be getting full also. [09:46] they're always helpful with reg codes.. [09:46] Dr_willis, isn't ubuntu trying to eliminate the usage of the terminal? [09:46] xokadim, we do not support mirc in here [09:46] Gin, Not that i am aware of. [09:46] Gin, the terminal is often the BEST tool for the job in many cases. [09:46] xokadim: go to mirc.com, that should tell you. [09:46] Dr_willis, it's those small things that make windows userfriendly [09:47] Gin, even MS is bringing back the terminal in many ways.. [09:47] . /nickserv register username password [09:47] Gin, i often find the lack of a decent terminal makes windows UNfriendly [09:47] * trupheenix going mad with wireless on hardy [09:47] Gin: I've found that I can do basically everyting via the GUI, and i often walk newbies through doing hings that way if they're uncomfortable with the terminal.. but the terminal is generally the quickest way of doing things [09:47] Dr_willis, we're talking userfriendly for non-technical users [09:47] Gin, but this is a pointless debate. :) the 2 are different OS's and different tools. Whats better.. a router, or a table saw... it all depends. [09:47] No #mirc has only donkeys can not give support not know why, they use that channel! :) [09:47] unop ok!

[09:48] if my computer locked up [09:49] Tjbond gui or terminal? [09:49] i dont know, im wondering if my computer is locked up, if there is a way to restart it [09:49] without pressing the restart button on the actual pc. lol. [09:49] geek_: aboslutely, yes.. right off the live cd [09:49] Tjbond well, i doubt it'll lock up unless u really try to make it locked up [09:49] I was about to suggest the button :( [09:50] DarkMage2303: the 'any' key? [09:50] Tjbond if the gui locks up you can go to terminal by ctrl+alt+f3 [09:50] It already did lock up once :P [09:50] Tjbond login and then reboot from there [09:50] Wheres the 'Any' Key? [09:50] :) [09:50] Tjbond On GUI or Terminal? You never answered that question [09:50] Press any key to continue: "OMG WHERE IS THE ANY KEY!?!11" [09:50] Tjbond: if ttys (ctrl-alt-F#) don't work, use REISUB [09:50] !ot | DarkMage2303 [09:50] DarkMage2303: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:50] DarkMage2303, 'Error Keyboard not found: hit anykey to continue' [09:50] DarkMage2303, please take chat elsewhere [09:51] k [09:51] okay flannel. [09:51] kaiwen, what do you mean? GUI or Terminal? lol [09:51] Tjbond like, is it on gnome or kde when it locks up? [09:51] I'll be in the offtopic channel [09:51] Most bioses it's "F1 to continue" ... right up there with the windows dialog about no mouse, and an OK button for you to click.... [09:51] I was playing a game? [09:51] Tjbond so gui. Then do what i suggested, it'll go to terminal [09:51] okay lol [09:51] Tjbond once that goes to terminal, login and then type in sudo reboot === chaky_ is now known as chaky [09:52] Tjbond or if you know the process of the game do a killall *gamename* [09:52] im new, i dont know these commands :P [09:52] Sorry.. wasn't following the whole discussion.. was ctrl-alt-backspace mentioned already? [09:53] Tjbond, well, u only asked to reboot w/o pressing the button [09:53] yep [09:53] zcat[1]_ that resets X [09:53] is there a way to change the network speed? [09:53] eg: from 100mb/s to 10mb/s [09:54] you would want to ? [09:54] Tjbond, see the ethtool documentation [09:54] (but yes, there probably is) [09:54] lol, yes i would want to [09:54] How long do you guys think it will take to compress about 20 GB worth of data? [09:54] runs smoother on 10mb connection. [09:54] Tjbond man ethtool [09:54] 5 minutes for me [09:55] bye guyz, it's like two in teh morning here [09:55] time to sleep with beary [09:55] DarkMage2303: about as long as it takes to suck through USB2 I think [09:55] where do i find ethtool lol [09:55] :( [09:55] Tjbond, wow [09:55] I tell ya, im new to linux [09:55] DarkMage2303, that is so dependant on many factory, how fast your processor is, how much memory you have, how fast your harddisk access speeds are, etc [09:55] Tjbond go to terminal type in ethtool [09:55] i just installed it last night. [09:55] s/factory/factors/ [09:55] Tjbond, click applications, go to system go to terminal [09:55] DarkMage2303: not that long, perhals a half hour or an hour at a wild guess [09:56] unop: I suspect mostly limited by it being a USB drive [09:56] bye@! [09:56] zcat[1]_, and the compression tool and algorithm [09:56] I only have 1GB Ram D: [09:56] zcat[1]_, which in turn depends on processing speeds too [09:56] how much space in / (excluding /home) should be reserved for a standard desktop computer in GB? [09:56] unop: depends where the bottleneck is [09:56] ethtool and run ethtool doesnt work. [09:57] my computer is like 4 years old so I got it from my dads work for free :) [09:57] I mean, what is a good size for the root partition? [09:57] zcat[1]_, that's what i mean, the bottleneck could be anywhere .. there is no telling [09:58] fehrp, depends, 2GB does me fine .. I'd say 10GB is more than safe [09:58] DarkMage2303: did you do tar -v so you have something to stare at? [09:59] man you guys have no idea how exciting it is watching 5 files which are all a few GB in size being archieved it [09:59] is [09:59] Seriously, It'll blow your mind [09:59] DarkMage2303, I perfer to watch source code compile...... [10:00] hello [10:00] unop, I have 36GB in total, I would like to keep it small [10:00] I like to watch paint dry too :) [10:00] argh [10:00] anyway I might as well try to setup Wine [10:00] ethtool -s 10 ?? [10:00] Tjbond, why are you trying to slow down the network card? [10:01] fehrp: for small drives it's often best to just make the whole thing / and some swap... then you only run out whrn you really, completely run out... [10:01] I would prefer to spreed UP my network card.. === Lunenfeld is now known as Lunenfeld_away [10:01] because it runs smoother on 10mb connection, then it does with 100. [10:01] basically i have 2 hdds one 250 and one 80 .. the 250 is primary sata and 80 being secondary .. the 250 has a partition with windows on it .. and when i installed ubuntu i dedicated the 80 gb to it .. now since i been using ubuntu since almost a month now i think windows is shit and wanna get rid of it .. how do i format the entire 250 and include it into ubuntu . mind you the 250 is the primary hdd so you think it'll boot from the other ??? [10:02] Tjbond, that makes very little sence. rember to use 'sudo' with ethtool, good luck. [10:02] zcat[1]_: i dont wanna reinstall .. ive spent a lot of time tweaking ubuntu and dont think i can do it all over again === hase is now known as _hase [10:02] lol.. [10:02] Vegombrei, use the livecd to manage your partitions [10:02] <_hase> I just installed ubuntu 8.04 is there any reason my sound isn't working? [10:02] somebody here that has experience with GeForce2 Integrated Graphics [NVCrush11]? Any one that got it to work in ubuntu 8.04? [10:03] Vegombrei: hmmm.. ok. Open a terminal and I'll see what we can do with it.. [10:03] <_numbers_> how can i get youtube working ? [10:03] zcat[1]_: open and waiting input [10:03] _numbers_, did you install flash via synaptic? [10:03] <_numbers_> no [10:03] Vegombrei: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:03] Vegombrei, it's as simple as reformatting the 250G partition [10:03] What folder does Ubuntu install files in? like on windows its the C:\Program Files\ [10:03] _numbers_, then that would help :) [10:04] or D:... depending on your drives [10:04] unop: and mounting it somewhere useful and removing the windows entry from grub === lzy--_ is now known as lzy-- [10:04] <_numbers_> sudo install flash?? [10:04] re [10:04] DarkMage2303: mostly in /usr [10:04] _numbers_, open up synaptic and search for flash; you want the nonfree one [10:04] How can I get Songbird to use flash ? [10:05] where I think a channel of sex? [10:05] haha [10:05] zcat[1]_: I now partitioned "/" with 8.5GB, I mean, this SHOULD be enough, don't you think? [10:05] DarkMage2303, you can find out where a package puts its files .. dpkg -L packagename [10:05] help! i've lost the ubuntu wiki "how to install" page [10:05] Vegombrei: somewhere down the bottom of that file there are three lines that are about booting windows .. you want to delete them (put te cursor on a line and ^k them) [10:05] !install | mio [10:05] mio: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate === hiptobecubic^ is now known as hiptobecubic [10:06] actually unop you want to handle this one, you think it should be really easy ;) [10:06] fehrp, depends on what you are doing.. that would not be big enough for me.. :) but it all depends. [10:06] zcat[1]_, it is .. i don't see why it seems hard. [10:06] fehrp, for basic ussage. it should be. [10:07] Vegombrei: unop's going to help you .. I'm going to go watch TV ;) [10:07] zcat[1]_: yes .. about the last 6 lines say somewhat similar to when its booting .. you want me to delete that ? [10:07] restart... [10:08] Dr_willis: I mean, I will have only gnome, not kde. graphical apps, sure, but I mean, come on, 8Gig *g [10:08] zcat[1]_: sure thanks bro [10:08] fehrp, i got 8+gb of wallpaper :) [10:08] Vegombrei, actually, put the contents of that file up on a pastebin .. it's easier to know what exactly to delete then. [10:08] fehrp, as i said. it depends on your needs. [10:08] <_numbers_> bazhang worked great thank you [10:08] unop: so should i just delete all lines after ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST ?? [10:08] Dr_willis: why should they reside in the root partition rather than in /home? [10:08] _numbers_, np :) [10:08] wtf [10:09] fehrp, please dont use acronyms such as that [10:09] Vegombrei, no, paste the contents of the file .. and i'll let you know [10:09] fehrp, i dont bother with a seperate /home in many of my machines.. I do use vmware on my server a lot that takes up a lot of space in / also. Do it depends. [10:09] I just installed Ubuntu alternate and am having a hardware problem. Is there any way to figure out if I installed 8.04 as opposed to 8.04.1? [10:09] fehrp, your personal settings reside in /home -- this split is usefull for having home and root on seperate partitions for easy re-installation [10:09] sorry :) yeah, I won't use vmware [10:10] fehrp, i also have NFS home i can use.. so it all depends on what you are doing. You can always move things around later [10:10] unop: ok hold on [10:10] what is 8.04.1 ? [10:10] Bodsda: i know, that's why I'm doing it [10:10] Bodsda: A release of Ubuntu [10:10] the point update [10:10] Dr_willis: i just think, seperate /home safes time, if you want to change to another distro. eg. [10:10] we dont use the term 'service pack 1 ubuntu' [10:10] bazhang, whats a point update, is this an lts special thing? [10:10] Fructose: they are about the same. i think updating normally should fix it [10:11] geek_: That wasn't my question. [10:11] Bodsda: pretty much a rerelease with newer packages === zdravko is now known as LovingZdravko [10:11] Bodsda, all the bug fixes most up to date etc; an lts thing iirc [10:11] fehrp, i rarely change. :) and ive seen some disrtos have issues with sharing of /home somthing to watch out for. [10:11] geek_, ok cheers [10:11] geek_: My hardware problem happens to be network-related, so an update isn't even an option. === zdravko is now known as LovingZdravko [10:12] Fructose: i'm on 8.04.. maybe lsb_release -r might be enlightening... [10:13] geek_: 8.04... problem is I don't know for certain what they would have changed for 8.04, since it's not a full release [10:13] *for 8.04.1 [10:13] Fructose: true [10:14] * geek_ is sure he's had at least one kernel update [10:14] unop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37931/ [10:15] Fructose, geek_: installing 8.04 and then updating completely is the same as installing 8.04.1 and updating completely (if it were the day 8.04.1 was released, an updated 8.04 would be identical) [10:16] Flannel: in which case.. he could check his kernel? [10:16] since my system is up to date, and i recall one kernel update [10:16] Fructose: try uname -r [10:17] 2.6.24-16 [10:17] yeah, uname -a will give you your kernel version, what is it? [10:17] unop: did you see the paste ? [10:17] Fructose: hmm, likely the older one, mine's on 2.6.24-19 [10:17] Fructose: Do you have linux-generic installed? [10:17] Mmm [10:18] Flannel: Yes [10:18] Fructose: Alright, do you have hardy-updates and hardy-security enabled? [10:19] Flannel: How is that relevant? [10:19] Fructose: (if you want, pastebin your sources.list, and I'll take a look) [10:19] Is the security.. very handy? [10:19] : [10:19] ) [10:19] Fructose: because thats where updates come from [10:19] :) [10:19] DarkMage2303: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:19] anyone here compiling their own kernels, I have a quick question regarding /lib/firmware? [10:19] Flannel: Perhaps you weren't following the conversation. I'm having network hardware problems. [10:19] DarkMage2303, this is not the chat channel [10:20] Flannel: I want to know if I have 8.04.1 in case it might fix this problem. [10:20] Fructose: Running an old kernel *could* be causing it. Being up to date is a good starting point, at any rate. [10:20] Fructose: well, it really depends on what the issue is, specifically, and if its a known one... [10:21] geek_: Kernel panic when I plug in a PCMCIA card [10:21] unop: ? [10:21] Fructose: might be irq allocation problem [10:23] wtf is with nbc and cnn [10:23] echo6: It might be a lot of things [10:23] why do they require windows media player and windows to run [10:24] Vegombrei, sorry, had to do something .. delete everything after line 170 [10:24] havocstorm: Because they're evil. Get used to it. [10:24] Fructose: Indeed, I only mention that because it was something I used to experience on an old Dell laptop, and the fix was to supply some modprobe options when loading up the module [10:25] Fructose, lets brezak into their headquarters and sneak ubuntu onto everything [10:25] Fructose: what happens if you boot up with it in it? [10:25] then set whine on start-up [10:25] so they don't notice [10:25] hi. Anybody got a link to a free stream of anything? (testing MMS thing). === hase is now known as _hase [10:25] unop: you sure about this right ? if i boot my machine it will boot from the secondary drive and into ubuntu ? [10:25] geek_: Kernel panic [10:25] <_hase> Ok, so I just installed Ubuntu on my new laptop and I can't get my sound to work, I have a Intel Corporation 82801H soundcard [10:26] Vegombrei, yes, i am. [10:27] Fructose: well what happens with other PCIMCIA cards? [10:27] unop: done .. deleted and saved file ! [10:27] geek_: I don't have any others at the moment [10:27] Vegombrei, when you are done with this .. you need to reformat the 250GB partition (i'm assuming it is /dev/sda1 .. but do verify) with sudo mkfs.ext3 -L "label you want" /dev/sda1 # beware there is no going back from this, you lose windows entirely [10:28] <_numbers_> whats the best wine to install [10:28] unop: how do i check if its sda1 or 0 ? [10:29] Vegombrei, examine the output of sudo fdisk -l [10:29] Fructose: Does it give any error message before kernel_panic? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [10:29] _numbers_: the one you get when you do sudo apt-get install wine [10:29] echo6: It spits out a lot of stuff. I've already Googled for it. [10:29] <_numbers_> thank you [10:29] Vegombrei, actually .. it probably is better if you use gparted for this .. it will set the appropriate partition type, etc [10:30] Kind of new to ubuntu..Where do I find sources.list? [10:30] Vegombrei, you might need to install gparted if it isn't already installed [10:30] whitedox, /etc/apt/ [10:30] hey what's the three things you need to install? build-essential.. and what was the others? [10:30] thanks [10:30] unop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37934/ [10:30] greetings [10:30] any vim ppl here? need help [10:30] jshriver: You know about #vim right? [10:30] nope sorry [10:31] ya tell me [10:31] but my question is ubunto specific it seems [10:31] JShriver [10:31] basically... when I run vim/vi [10:31] unop: dude may i pvt msg ya ? [10:31] and try to arrow up/down/left/right [10:31] Vegombrei, looks like the first disk has two partitions .. do you want to keep the disk partitioned, or consolidate everything? [10:31] I get C and some weird characters [10:31] anyone? [10:31] arrow keys dont work [10:31] but every other vi I've tried allows me to use arrow keys [10:31] any tips? [10:31] Vegombrei, you may, but it's better if we keep the conversation here, other people can contribute and learn. [10:32] unop: i wanna wipe out everything from the first disk ... ubuntu is on the second disk [10:32] jshriver: install vim, not vi [10:32] hey I can't get vmware to install.. says somethign about my modules? anyone know? [10:32] !vmware [10:32] ok let me check [10:32] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [10:32] unop: wanna make it one single 250 gb hdd [10:32] jshriver: That's not Ubuntu-specific. Some versions of vi/vim do not use the arrow keys. You use hjkl instead [10:32] afallenhope: to do what? [10:32] geek_, just the three basics.. [10:32] Vegombrei, ok, use gparted then .. delete both the partitions and format the resulting one [10:32] What is the diff [10:32] Vegombrei, let me know when you are done with this. [10:33] !info gparted | Vegombrei [10:33] vegombrei: gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.5-1ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 339 kB, installed size 2100 kB [10:33] afallenhope: er... the ability to compile isn't 'basic' ;p [10:33] Would somebody know how to change MAC address in ubuntu? [10:33] unop: im a noob .. doono what gparted is dude [10:33] Vegombrei: its like partition magic [10:33] daftpunk, i think the ifconfig, or ethtool tool can do that.. (but ive never done so) [10:33] geek_: ah ok .. how do i get it ? [10:33] Vegombrei, it's a GUI tool that helps you with partitioning and formatting etc .. quite intuitive [10:33] thank you [10:33] Vegombrei: its on the live disk [10:33] I'll try that [10:34] daftpunk: macchanger [10:34] Vegombrei, sudo aptitude install gparted [10:34] unop: can i sudo apt-get install gparted ?? [10:34] you will haveto add it to interfaces to make it stick after reboot [10:34] Vegombrei, you can yes, to the same effect [10:34] daftpunk: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu.html [10:35] thanks man [10:35] unop: done .. [10:35] thanks that worked [10:35] Vegombrei, finished formatting already? [10:35] unop: lemme run gparted and see if i can figure it out [10:35] Vegombrei, ok [10:36] has anyone ever seen grub seem to be shifted halfway down the screen with the bottom wrapped back down from the top before? [10:37] yes [10:37] how can I create a raid device with the "desktop" install iso? [10:37] thats an x bug [10:37] do you know of a fix? [10:38] move2 your mouse to the edge and over it will realign it self [10:38] restart gdm, my fix id to drop gnome and use kde [10:38] i have no idea if there is a real fix [10:38] unop: ok i can see the partitions of drive 1 in gparted .. should i just select all and delete ? [10:39] x isn't running by the time grub is though is it? [10:39] Vegombrei, that's the idea .. though you might have to delete each one individually first [10:40] cs02rm0, nope. Try the auto sync button on your LCD or adjust it manually [10:40] Any hopes of something that can play DRM'd content without dual booting windows/vmwaring? [10:40] unop: i deleted the fat32 partition and now it wont let me delete the ntfs [10:40] DistroJockey: even if once X is up everything's positioned fine? [10:41] hey having an issue installing VMware says osmething about modules not being suitable.. what do I have to install again? [10:41] afallenhope: hmm any-any patch? [10:41] cs02rm0, they are different video modes.

Could I resolve this in any way? I don't want to dual-boot to sync my iPod, i'll switch back to Windows if it doesn't work. [10:43] any idea how to fix that [10:43] only 9:43 PM for me but I'm bored on here [10:43] @Havocstorm: Try installing Flash 10. I used to have that problem with Flash 9. [10:43] cs02rm0, sometimes EDID will confuse X but that is separate from the grub screen issue [10:43] where can I install that [10:43] Flash 9 makes Firefox freeze and possibly crash sometimes. [10:43] Repositories or website download? [10:44] Just a sec, i'll look for the exact URL...

[10:46] havocstorm, 10 will probably be the same as 9 in your situation. It's a bug in Firefox 3.0.1 that should be fixed in 3.0.2 [10:46] and now, it shows only a white blank screen when logging into the last session [10:47] is flash 10 stable saw that is beta [10:47] @DistroJockey: Nope, I had that issue and it resolved itself when I switch to 10. [10:47] why? And how can I change that? [10:47] I'm trying to recover data off of an old system, how do I mount my ext3 partition so that I can read all of the files? [10:47] *switched [10:47] SmileyTSL, uh... downloading doesn't work? [10:47] Vegombrei, try deleting the partition from the command line with. sudo cfdisk /dev/sda [10:47] Vegombrei, make sure you close gparted first tho [10:47] And yes, 10 is very stable. [10:47] ilian, i'm using flash 10 right now, it's more stable than 9 for me. 9 crashes constantly [10:48] Soo... any ideas on my problem? [10:48] DistroJockey, any idea when 3.0.2 is coming out? [10:48] SmileyTSL, ahh, ok. I recently tried Intrepid with FF 3.0.1 and install flash 10 and it crashed straight away. Where as Hardy with FF 3.0.1 with flash 9 works fine for me [10:48] (Erm, Pidgin disconnected for no reason. Weird.) [10:48] unop: done .. it let me delete it .. [10:48] havocstorm, not really, but it can't be far away [10:48] Ah, ok. Maybe it's system-specific. [10:49] hi [10:49] havocstorm: 10x [10:49] unop: should i quite cfdisk ? or should i create a new partition ?

[11:19] ok [11:19] I'm sorry for my english IndyGunFreak and hiptobecubic [11:19] Vegombrei: GRUB will be on the MBR of that first drive.. you don't want to thange the boot order [11:19] How set my /home partition to the system ? [11:19] zcat[1]_: yes .. the primary drive is the one we just repartioned .. im working on the secondary drive [11:19] let me see hiptobecubic [11:19] *change rather [11:19] If you diden't notice it already, i'm a complete ubuntu newbie [11:19] Sofisti1: its a simple question.. your english isn't that bad [11:20] Dr_willis, thanks. i dont have a file wanderingii-desktop in the etc directory but i do have a hosts file there. what do i need to add to it? i have a line 127.0.0.1 wanderingii-desktop.HOME is that enough? [11:20] i using NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.12-pkg2 [11:20] Vegombrei: ok, so 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' now shows just one partition, type 'linux', spanning the whole drive? [11:21] wanderingii, i would check the bots factoids. I seem to recall some others having issues with the .HOME type name at the end of the hostname in the hosts file. but I have very little personal experience with the problem. [11:21] hi, has anyone experience with wifi intel 3945? newest driver iwl3945 decrease speed to max 10Kbps after few minutes, older driver, ipw3945 crash connecions after few minutes (ubuntu 8.04 i386, same problem with ubuntu studio amd64 and ubuntu amd64) [11:21] Sofisti1, where did you find that and are you using 64bit on purpose? [11:21] arghh, um, how would i open a tomby not if tomboy notes is broken [11:21] i am unable to scan for channels using tvtime in trying to watch tv, any solution for this? [11:21] wanderingii, im not sure why theres a .HOME a tthe end of your hostname. [11:21] wanderingii: I have to remove the .home part on my system for it to work.. give it a try [11:21] what tools are best in webdesign in Ubuntu? [11:22] !best | msegeya [11:22] msegeya: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [11:22] msegeya, vim [11:22] msegeya: nano! [11:22] Slart, i was thinking that also. :) but i got no idea how that .HOME got in there. [11:22] thanks. i am only setting up a computer i installed ubuntu on and its all above me at the minute. i have to be a root to edit the hosts file, how do i do that? [11:22] zcat[1]_: yes .. spanning the entire drive it has just one linux partition [11:22] I made all of this changing according to italian IRC but they hadn't solve the problem [11:22] thanx [11:22] i'm not an expertise so ... [11:22] Dr_willis: I'm guessing it's some kind of awahi domain name thingy [11:22] Vegombrei: cool. Now 'sudo mke2fs -j /dev/sda1' if that's the partition you just created [11:22] http://shawn.blogsrc.com [11:22] had too [11:23] zcat[1]_:u r nano fan but maximun person uses vi [11:23] moDumass, cat ? [11:23] Sofisti1, so did they have you disable the restricted drivers manager? [11:23] Ok, i got the legacy driver now [11:23] hiptobecubic: you are using restricted? [11:23] dummy556f what do you mean? [11:23] zcat[1]_: it says Could not stat /dev/sda1 --- No such file or directory [11:23] The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly? [11:23] yes hiptobecubic [11:23] Sofisti1, i installed my drivers manually. [11:24] zcat[1]_: hey we didnt format the drive dude [11:24] Dr_willis, don't i have to install the driver from the nvidias website? [11:24] Vegombrei: Oh.. reboot then. It should be fine. Have faith ;) [11:24] LobbyZ: not really, thats what hardware driver mgr is for. [11:24] zcat[1]_: :) [11:24] Oh? [11:24] zcat[1]_: brb , Hopefully hehehe [11:24] hai all.. [11:25] hiptobecubic: can you tell me a link where you are in web (if it exist) where i can follow all the steps? [11:25] Sofisti1, i'm looking for the driver that i'm using. give me a second [11:25] LobbyZ, I never use the ones from their web site. [11:25] anyone have the amd 780G mainboard? [11:26] Dr_willis, oh ok [11:26] hello.. [11:26] When I try to use IRC client on Emacs, I got this error'*** No identd (auth) response'. This means I have to install identd on my ubuntu?? [11:26] LobbyZ, thats the reason they are in the package manager/repos so you dont have to mess with the web site. :) You are thinking in 'windows' ways of doing things [11:26] moDumass, cat the file to stdout. It might work depending on the file format [11:26] brb [11:26] how is the root user supposed to login? tryed logging out and using root as my username but i says root cannot login through the normal screen [11:26] Dr_willis, yeah .. I kinda screwed up my hdd's MBR so i had to use Ubuntu [11:26] tomoyuki28jp, identd is normally not needed for most irc servers. thats proberly just a warning. [11:26] lucky me i had the LiveCD [11:26] dummy566f thanks === andatche_ is now known as andatche [11:27] give as time you need;-) [11:27] tomoyuki28jp, some servers might want one.. but ive not seen any in ages that did. [11:27] wanderingii gdm blocks root by default, you need to reconfigure gdm if you are going to logn as root, don't login as root, sudo is safer [11:27] please help me about compiz on ati [11:28] well i cant get in as sudo becasue it says it cant resolve wanderingii-desktop and i cant edit the hosts file as im not a root user so what can i do? [11:28] Dr_willis: I see, thanks for the info! [11:28] wanderingii: use the recovery boot thingy [11:28] Sofisti1, can you pastebin your xorg.conf for me? [11:28] is there a selinux on ubuntu-server howto ? [11:29] hi guys. i got a problem mounting my cd-burner. it's on the the raid port. could it have something to do with it? http://pastebin.com/d5d57ecef [11:29] wanderingii: when you boot there's two options for each kernel version in grub.. one normal and one for recovery.. the recovery one will get you a root shell I think [11:29] wanderingii ctrl alt f1-f6 and login as root there [11:29] wanderingii, the normal fix is to boot to single user mode/rescue/recovery mode and edit the /etc/hosts file. Or use a live cd and edit that file [11:29] ok hiptobecubic [11:29] wanderingii, unless you have set a root password and can directly login as root. [11:30] ok i done the ctrl alt f1 thing. edited the file how do i get back to wher ei was? [11:31] hiptobecubic: http://rafb.net/p/Nb9j6I77.html [11:31] wanderingii, alt-ctrl-f7 [11:31] wanderingii: or f9 [11:31] thank you [11:31] file is edited [11:31] excellent. i removed the .HOME and now i can use sudo -i [11:32] thanks everyone [11:32] if you had the root password set ya could of used the 'login' command or 'su' command in a xterm window.. heh. [11:32] but thats not a good habbit :) [11:32] Hi... i'm trying to play some .mpeg files in Totem... but i cant fast forward properly (it skips and usually seems to go backwards)... any ideas? It used to work but i had to reinstall Ubuntu and now, while it can play, it cant fast forward. [11:33] Sofisti1, try using nvidia-settings to make a new xorg.conf, yours looks kind of empty. I don't see your video drivers, for example. [11:33] Sofisti1, sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings [11:33] what would be the diference in a gtk theme and a gdm theme? [11:34] ok hiptobecubic [11:34] wanderingii, gdm is the login screen [11:34] Sofisti1, remember to back up your old xorg.conf before you write over it. [11:34] ah that explains alot. thanks [11:36] Help anyone know how to install Adobe photoshop CS3 in ubuntu? [11:36] you dont [11:36] hiptobecubic: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

What should I do? [11:37] no way, ive seen a screenshot [11:37] php6th cs is only for mac and windows, you need to install a windows compatability program called 'wine' or a commercial version called cross over office [11:37] php6th: it was photoshopped, obviously...

[11:44] I'll try Samba first. See how it goes [11:44] Well [11:44] How do i update my BIOS then? [11:44] without a floppy [11:44] hiptobecubic: i can use your xorg? [11:44] vnix you could go the unix way and use nfs, you need to download services for unix from microsoft for them to mount it [11:44] Sofisti1, i have extras in mine that probably won't help you. try this... [11:45] ive tried to go to system > administration > login window and it asked me for my password and now my hard drive keeps ticking but nothings happening [11:45] vnix, samba may be the hardest way to do it. :) [11:45] LObbyZ: burn a bootable cd or use usb [11:45] Oh ya how come sometimes when I log off or restart computer, my items all jumble up.

[11:47] alraune, oh [11:47] Sofisti1, if you didn't get any errors, you should have a new xorg.conf now. Yes. [11:47] i2adoo, what problem occurred? does it say? [11:47] Slart, but sadly ive often seen it not work very well. [11:47] LObbyZ: google boot cd to get a image and then add the flash program and the new bios to it [11:47] no errors just warnongs that no xorg.conf is present [11:48] Sofisti1, now run nvidia-settings [11:48] Yea the flash program is a .exe [11:48] Dr_willis: ah.. but the button looks so shiny... how can it not work when it's sooo shiny =) [11:48] dummy566f how do I see? it only says a problem occured [11:48] Sofisti1, gksudo nvidia-settings [11:48] How bout retrieve files from Windows using LAN?

[12:10] fole: and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School/PatchingSources [12:10] php6th: the easiest way is probably to open the "Add/Remove programs" dialog in the applications menu and look through the graphics list there.. there are lots of software.. hope you find something you can work with [12:10] jrib thank you!

[12:46] Slart, no.. splashscreen and then BusyBox [12:46] #ubuntu-pl [12:46] Sorlag: can you check the logs in /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg [12:46] Sorlag: What's the version of the kernel you are booting?

[12:46] i didnt even make a update or something.. there are important emails etc. [12:46] Pirate_Hunter: yes i do hav windows, what i hav to do? [12:47] hi - when using partimage there seems to be no place to tell it where to put the image ..just the directory and name but not on which drive?

[12:48] geirha okay.. ill try this.. ill be back if it wont work.. thanks for now!

[12:49] sofistio oh! of course! let me find the 64 bit version [12:49]  eraldo:32 bit works with 64 bit systems [12:49] alraune: it gives me an error when opening them [12:49] further to partimage - whats the story if partimage seems to have just stopped durin action - shows 305mb copied of 2.89gb but goes not further... whats that about? [12:49] eraldo: ubuntu proboly comes with the right drivers. [12:49] alraune: the install button is greyed out [12:50] sushma: once you do that terminal will have lots of information, grab a pen and write only the info you need on paper: subnet mask "usually 255.255..255.0", your current inet addr, your default gateway and you can find you dns servers from your router [12:50] how can i uninstall ubuntu completely, so that windows is booting automaticly, because i'm only using ubuntu with wubi in windows [12:50] who has used partimage??? [12:50]  !hw | eraldo:than maybe some other packages are missing, but look up the printer [12:50] yoyoned: when I plugged it in... I could only chose "find driver" and all it set was the generic text only one [12:50] sushma: once you done that tell me [12:50] http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/173.14.05/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.05-pkg2.run sofistio [12:51] Pirate_Hunter:okk [12:51] hiptobecubic: now i use features of Ubuntu "try to fix Xproblems"; i need to move xorg.conf, meke newone and retry to install driver?

[12:52] perfect hiptobecubic [12:52] sushma: well thats doing to be a biggy, you can always call your isp to find out your dns servers I think thats the only other way, you'll need them "if they ask why do you wanna know just say you want to setup your linux box" [12:53] Sorlag: It suddenly worked? [12:53] I'm having trouble getting my nForce2 soundcard working. The big issue is that the sound is really really quiet (i.e. I can't actually distinguish it, I can just kind of vaguely hear the beats and so on.) Connecting my iPhone to the same speakers works as expected, and my volume is turned up and so on. [12:53] sorlag : /var/log filenames speak for theirselves ,.... [12:53] I'm trying to setup a smart card reader in order to login with a smart card instead of a password. The smart card reader is setup and working, but I can't make Pam talk to it. I need some assistence. [12:53] Sorlag: You were stopped way to early in the boot process for any logs to have been written to disk I think [12:53] hello, sailing [12:53] sushma: how do you connect to the internet? [12:54] geirha...hm.. yeah, it suddenly worked.. but i dont want to have this happen again! [12:54] alraune: I have no idea what to do now :( [12:54] alraune: I did not find any solution on google [12:54] is there a program to access itunes podcasts/links/videos? [12:54] eraldo:mom [12:54] sofistio, i have to sign off. if it doesn't work, just restore your original xorg and keep looking around. Good luck! [12:54] eraldo: return printer for refund, get one that is properly supported...

[13:30] Sofisti1: my experience w/ 64bit is less than positive... so no, i cant help you w/ that.. one reason i stick w/ 32bit for now, is for driver compatibility(but the nvidia driver should work fine) [13:30] a thread on ubuntuforums.org says that running these commands will make ctrl-alt-del pull up the gnome sys monitor [13:30] gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_9 "Delete" [13:30] !anyone | maho [13:30] gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_9 "gnome-system-monitor" [13:30] maho: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[13:31] IndyGunFreak: I run 64bit with nvidia drivers via driver manager, was no trouble at all to set up... [13:31] zcat[1]: and i said, nvidia drivers fo 64bit, should be fine [13:32] fair enough. when I try to add a new usplash in startup-manager, it just closes. no error, no prompt to point to the new usplash I want to import. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it doesnt change [13:32] good evening everyone. [13:32] hi everybody, im installed ubuntu on my new laptop. The wireless didnt work at first but i found a way to make it work. The problem is that now it detects the wifi networks but cant connect to them. I tried to set up my wifi with and without a WEP key and it doesn't work either way. Also, i had to do some stuff in the terminal so that it could detect the wifis.... the problem is that i have to do this everytime i reboot. is there a wa [13:32] what is the best nintendo 64 emulator for ubuntu? [13:32] WOW! [13:32] IndyGunFreak: however, I have found that the nvidia binary installer leaves a mess of incompatable .so's behind, causing the ubuntu packaged drivers to no longer work. Cleaning up after a botched driver isntall is a nightmare. === amk is now known as amk` [13:33] IndyGunFreak: so I basically refuse to even try if I hear someone has already tried to do it 'the hard and stupid way' [13:33] maho: Already tried with sudo aptitude remove --purge package && sudo aptitude install package ? [13:33] zcat[1]: yeah,. like i said,, my understanding is, the 64bit nvidia driver should be fine.. its jst other issues i've had.. so i stick w/ 32bit.. the 64bit doesn't peform THAT much better... its barely noticeable an w/ 32bit, everything just works. [13:33] i can use restricted but i didn't find in system-administration-driver [13:33] hey what happens if i select all the programs from synaptic and install all?

I've been using ubuntu for ~6mo now with no probs however recently whenever I play a .wmv video the colours become messed up. All video formats will then exhibit the same after, but only wmv video triggers it. A reboot will again allow normal use of non-wmv video. Any ideas? Thanks [14:04] Zeropage: just a warning, it gets boring really fast [14:04] i have just installed banshee-1, but i can't seem to find the binary in the bin folder? anyone have any idea? i am just trying to pass itunes links to banshee btw.. dunno if it will work [14:04] mudit: I'd suggest you install virtualbox-ose and then install XP inside a virtual machine. [14:04] Pirate_Hunter:sorry i dint get u [14:04] sushma: hmmm kk ill do this quickly whats your router brand and version [14:05] ynotest, at a terminal, type which banshee [14:05] ring switcher is more useful than cube [14:05] i jsut deleteted both gnome pannels how i bring them back ?

Now i can see how much microsoft sucks [14:06] !resetpanel | trigpin [14:06] trigpin: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:06] Pirate_Hunter: sushma said that she does'nt hav router long back [14:06] Pirate_Hunter:can u plz tell me how to know my router brand and version [14:06] zcat[1]: so dual boot isn't safe ? [14:06] shah: yah but he/she got their dns server to create static ip so i doubt they havent unless they called isp which they didnt [14:07] lol [14:07] maho: Ok, srry, i was breakfasting :). Last one seems like your problem ... [14:07] unop: i get : gnome-panel: no process killed [14:07] mudit: installing XP after ubuntu will kill GRUB. Also XP's installer can't resize so you have to clear space first. Installing Ubuntu after XP is a lot easier.. [14:07] o well that didn't work :S other than running itunes on virtualisation (or wine), can i access itunes store in some way? there are some podcasts that i want to listen to [14:07] mudit: It's not impossible, just not easy [14:07] debCarlos: really? let me check it again. [14:08] when i enable ICMP message filtering in firestarter, my internet won't work, not to sure why, anybody any suggestions? [14:08] but be caution when dual booting with vista [14:08] hold your router in ur hands and look what is written over it @ sushma [14:08] trigpin, that's ok .. just launch gnome-panel now by typing gnome-panel [14:08] u can use super grub disk to fix dual booting problems [14:08] sushma: when you got your internet you also received a box (mode, modem-router,router) that connest with youre pc by wires or wireless. Grab it read what it says for its make and look for any version i.e. thomson 510 V6 etc something similar [14:08] zcat[1]: ok, thanks === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx [14:09] another question :) how i can get 3d desktop pls?

[14:13] Ghost-r: no modem, only cable to my home [14:13] how do i install drivers for a new nvidia gtx260 [14:13] q0s: to run commands as root you need the root pass or your own pass to run commands as sudo (assuming you are a member of the sudo group) [14:13] debCarlos: ahh, I did read that one. I cant find any other material about it. It launches fine, it just crashes when I try to install anything....the Add button = the crash button [14:13] q0s: type sudo passwd [14:13] i use airtel and I dont use a dialup, the settings are just configured in my router [14:13] !nvidia | hyperstream [14:13] hyperstream: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [14:14] shah, please don't suggest that [14:14] sushma, what kind of cable ?

[14:14] q0s: wassup, ok do you have your own password? [14:15] sushma: try http://192.168.1.1/ in a browser [14:15] q0s, -S The -S (stdin) option causes sudo to read the password from the standard input instead of the terminal device. # straight from the sudo manpage [14:15] maho: yeah... i was just going to say say same --purge thing :( [14:15] *say the [14:15] * Pirate_Hunter can someone explain to me how does cable connect in america, does it use a mdoe, router, modem-router or some kind of telephone box etc "please i really dont know"? [14:15] ActionParsnip, unop. i have all necessary passwords. i want to pass it via a flag ... something like -pw [14:15] Hi, I'm having a weird problem. I've been using ubuntu for ~6mo now with no probs however recently whenever I play a .wmv video the colours become messed up. All video formats will then exhibit the same after, but only wmv video triggers it. A reboot will again allow normal use of non-wmv video. Any ideas? Thanks [14:16] ubottu: you are not that dumb [14:16] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:16] q0s, jeez. see the -S flag to sudo .. as per my last comment to you [14:16] sushma: give me a sec getting some site for you, from now on you'll have to read them and choose the procedure that is easier for you [14:16] Pirate_Hunter, it should use a settop box, I suppose, if it were just cable [14:16] mudit, ubottu is a bot .. he has no concept of intelligence [14:16] hyperstream: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=839730. I think its a bit too new right now [14:16] lol its been out for weeks and there is no info. guess ill have to manually install it [14:16] unop, ok. standart input. i am not the bash king... whats about echo "pw" | sudo -S mycmd? [14:17] debCarlos: oh well. Ill see if there are any fixes later down the line...thanks for your assistance anyway :-D [14:17] unop: although he might be smarter than some humans I've seen in here today.. [14:17] q0s, brilliant, that's it [14:17] q0s: you could run a terminal with gksu then all would be passwordless, I dont know any other way [14:17] Pirate_hunter:okk [14:18] maho: ok [14:18] unop would that work? ssh user@server echo 'pw' | sudo -S shutdown -r now [14:18] Ghost-r: a settop-box? is it anyway similar to a router or modem router, in other words can you log into it through the default gateway otherwise he/she will be messing with a)ip-tables b)ufw [14:18] q0s, I shouldn't think so .. you need to quote the command passed to ssh properly ... otherwise sudo -S shutdown -r now is run on the local machine [14:19] Ghost-r:the cable generally used to connect in LAN is provided by my internet provider [14:19] is it possible to make it so a normal Gnome window docks along the bottom? [14:19] q0s: rather than echoing passwords it might be safer to edit /etc/sudoers and allow that user access to shutdown without needing a password [14:19] q0s: you could have a login that as soon as it logs in it reboots the pc [14:19] how do i get ubuntu to hurt my eyes less lol, way worse than windows :S! [14:19] varunn: gnome-look.org [14:19] q0s, ssh user@server "echo 'pw' | sudo -S shutdown -r now" [14:19] I want to try removing the title bar as well [14:19] unop, quote? hmm...

[14:24] Bangers: Go to Appearance -> Fonts and change to [14:24] sushma: maybe we have made a satic ip that should help now it could be a problem with your clients, your isp blocking p2p "but that only happens in anti-p2p countries :/", your ports are close "most client have a function to test if the port you've chosen is open or closed try that" [14:24] DejaVi Sans Book [14:24] zcat[1]: no it isnt... [14:24] DejaVu* [14:24] mudit:how did u took the control of ur router can u tell me??

I would want to know why... I prefer k/ubuntu than Mandriva, basicly because of Ubuntu has lots of information and repositories are very fast, and for lots of reasons, but i cannot live without music, and i bought this sound card to use it with surround of course.

I'll have a look to see what I can find. === fyrestrtr is now known as burhan [14:55] askand: ext3, because it have journaling, which makes system recovery and check much faster than ext2 :) [14:55] What is the keyboard shortcut to flick through the 'screens' (Bottom right corner windows) [14:56] debCarlos: ActionParsnip thanks [14:57] Anybody can Help me plz by sound problems [14:57] Bangers: ctrl+alt+left arrow (and ctrl+alt+right arrow) [14:57] why is ubuntu the shiz of computing [14:57] debCarlos, I don't think " faster than ext2" is founded .. but anyway ..

[14:58] I would like to have Ubuntu studio on one partition, regular ubuntu on one, my /home folder on a third, and finally swap...is this possible? Is there any specifik order I should use? Can ubuntu studio and regular ubuntu share /home and swap? [14:58] no need for echo. >textfile.txt [14:58] unop: Or at least, that's why i have read :) [14:59] blame: mine deletes it then recreates a blank file [14:59] askand: the only difference between regular ubuntu and ubuntu studio is the applications. You don't need to install two different operating system.s [14:59] debCarlos, but ext2 has no journal, and an fsck will complete faster because of that fact. [14:59] askand: why dual boot, its the same OS with some different apps installed [14:59] burhan: its a rt kernel too === WDC is now known as WDC|Away [14:59] askand: if you have a regular ubuntu installation, just install the packages for studio and update the kernel if you must. [15:00] unop: But.... fsck.... man, i read that ext3 sys recovery was faster than ext2.... [15:00] ActionParsnip: i will take a look of that right now, but, i tell you, i spended months trying to configure surround in ubuntu, that is really painful [15:00] burhan: but then I still need to reboot to get into the rt kernel [15:00] m3F: then maybe mandriva is for you [15:00] askand: so? [15:01] debCarlos, i shouldn't think so .. though i will say, recovery (by the virtue of journal playback) is reliable on ext3 [15:01] Hey what is wrong. Kubuntu I open a tar.gz and try to extract and it says "Unable to start supprocess" [15:01] burhan: I just like the two on different partitions , i dont want regular ubuntu filles with musicapps and vice versa :) [15:01] unop: Well, i'll have to read again those pdf files :) [15:01] thanks everyone [15:01] can 'top' display the load on each core?

Are you sure this is what you want? [15:02] What options do I have for Ubuntu themes? I dont really like the orange one that comes with ubuntu [15:02] thanks saloxin [15:03] Bangers: gnome-look.org [15:03] askand: it'll be the same deal, you'll just have duplicated system files on your drive [15:03] askand: you dont gain anything [15:03] jburd: yeah but what do I need to download?? "GDM Themes?" What section [15:03] Bangers: GTK-2 themes for the widgets (buttons, menus, etc) [15:03] Bangers, art.gnome.org [15:04] art.gnome.org most has boring themes. [15:04] Ubuntu should add a themer page where one can install themes with "One-Click".

[15:06] hello, i'm having trouble with brightness keys. they've been identified properly during install, but i'd like to disable them or change their action. they don't show up in the keyboard shortcuts control center module. the problem is that when i press the brightness adjustment keys, the laptop's firmware adjusts the screen's brightness, but the OS tries to adjust it as well, causing the screen to change brightness twice on s [15:06] ome of the keypresses. [15:06] An artwork page where one can see thumbnails of themes to choose from where one can simply click "once" to install themes. [15:06] ActionParsnip: No it is 6.06.

Appearences arent hard to apply [15:08] ActionParsnip: It says: "Unable to start subprocess" [15:08] jburd: i think if you download the theme then right click it will apply [15:08] WDC|Away: thats it? [15:08] ActionParsnip: It's easier for people to find themes if they can search right in that dialog. [15:08] ActionParsnip: Yes [15:08] jburd: i guess [15:08] ActionParsnip: That's the most common complaint I've got from my deployments.

[15:12] SilverStreak: i got -21. sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [15:12] thanks, thats a more reasonable size, ill try that game first, thanks a lot actionparsnip [15:12] im making an alias i can't get it to work i added in ~/.bashrc blahblah= "echo 'blahblah ' i get command not found when i reboot [15:13] WDC|Away: it just kills the process. try closing ark and running the command again [15:13] ActionParsnip: nothing was installed [15:14] trigpin: you need to put alias blahblah='echo "blahblah"' [15:14] SilverStreak: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade === WDC|Away is now known as WDC [15:14] Hey, can anyone tell me how to record a video of the screen? [15:14] ActionParsnip: Still the same; should I try switching mirrors? [15:14] ActionParsnip, does that do ubuntu upgrade if you dont got latest version??? [15:14] trigpin: no need to reboot, just source ~/.bashrc [15:15] RANDOM_8954: the first one updates what you have dist-upgrade updates stuff like kernels [15:15] ActionParsnip: Worked great! THanks [15:15] WDC: sweet move bro [15:15] WDC: it just got confused thats all [15:16] ActionParsnip: Kind of like me [15:16] ActionParsnip, alias blahblah= 'echo 'blahblah' ' when i run it i get the comand blahblah not found i think problem with double comments === desi is now known as varunn3 [15:16] WDC: well you got there in the end and thats what counts [15:16] a newbie bash question here. I have a long command for a launcher pointing to an environment variable and running wine.. I am trying to have that same shortcut used when a specific file is clicked in firefox. Since the beginning of the file is env, should i just create an alias? Will an alias in bash be interpreted by firefox? I assume not [15:16] ActionParsnip: Yep! Thanks again [15:16] hey guys do u need an antivirus in linux? [15:16] trigpin: try running soure ~/.bashrc [15:17] is Frets a single player game? [15:17] varunn3: No, but you might if your paranoid [15:17] test [15:17] trigpin: after updating the file, mean you dont gotta reboot [15:17] RANDOM_8954: yeah [15:17] so nothing security wise is needed :) [15:17] varunn3: only if you want to protect windows users you interact with [15:17] varunn3: the best antivirus is running as few things as root as possible [15:17] r3c0n: if you set the env variable at login, it will be available to all programs you start later. ~/.bashrc orso [15:17] RANDOM_8954: plus there are lots of packs of songs out there and forums of songs too [15:17] hi, i want to install nvidia 8500GT driver on Ubuntu hardy but i don't know how [15:18] rockyrock, have you tried using the restricted drivers manager? [15:18] varunn3: usually too much trouble for a standard desktop install [15:18] varunn3: you can install clamav if you want but its really not needed. just run as little as possible as root and you win [15:18] sup [15:18] !nvidia | rockyrock [15:18] rockyrock: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:18] ActionParsnip: clamav doesn't look for Linux viruses anyway :P [15:18] !envyng | rockyrock [15:18] rockyrock: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [15:18] How can I get this X-Chat into Multi-Server connect [15:19] good [15:19] i downloaded a driver from nvidia website [15:19] !antivirus | varunn3 [15:19] varunn3: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners.

[15:56] greetings [15:56] dlozarie: not massively hard [15:56] ActionParsnip: already did that, but i'm doing it again.. "downgrading libdvdcss2 from 1.2.9-2medibuntu4 to 1.2.5-1" [15:56] dlozarie: make sure you have build-essentials gcc g++ [15:56] What will happen if i compile my kernel ? Will my graphic driver stop working? Then/.... how can i re-enable it on my new kernel ? [15:56] dlozarie: not if the authors provide the package names required to compile it on ubuntu hardy or your variant [15:56] cmacis: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=aiptektablet-users looks like it's a bit dead so far this month.. maybe you can revive it [15:56] debCarlos: you add options in make-menuconfig [15:57] debCarlos: then you may need to reinstall your graphics driver for that kernel [15:57] seems like it would require some work. :-? can ya'll point me to a webpage with instructions or something? I guess there'd be one in the Ubuntu website/msg boards, right? [15:57] ActionParsnip: Ok, i thinked that.... but how i do that without screwing old drivers ? [15:58] dlozarie: it'll be in the readme in the source files once you have extracted [15:58] ActionParsnip: Totem still giving me this: The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?

Im not too p on it but i use envyng so I just uninstall and reinstall and I win :D [15:58] ikonia: yeah, the other dudes in here told me that. I wanna learn how to compile it from a bunch of files tho, jff. thx. :D [15:59] ikonia: he wannts to try compiling [15:59] long time no speak ikonia [15:59] ActionParsnip: my windows VM will read it, i can decrypt it via dvddecrypter, but thats a really lame solution to watch a dvd.. hehe [15:59] dlozarie: you are aware that this will potentially break your package manager [15:59] eth01: hello [15:59] is there a "better" alternative for nautilus as a file manager?

[19:11] dabbu: use hjkl instead [19:11] i downloaded and burned the new live cd, and when it goes to the ubuntu log in screen, it will load up some, maybe go to the desktop, but then goes right back to the login screen [19:12] Odd-rationale: hjkl another editor .....

[19:17] dabbu: gvim is vim with a gtk gui [19:17] just download the Ubuntu install ISO, and instead of installing, use the option "try Ubuntu without making any changes" This will boot the Install CD and you can then install as many packages as you want using apt-get and customize all week... depending on amount of RAM [19:17] gnlnx:so it is gui of vim [19:17] VipOrX: I've install stuff with liveCDs before but that goes into the RAM, duh. I what I need to for the system to boot up with restricted formats installed, let the user make a mess, then reboot and have it back to how it was [19:17] ganymede: works for me http://google.com [19:17] dabbu: yeah...like MrElendig said [19:17] I'm having unknown issues with my Sound Device under Hardy . . . can someone help me troubleshoot it?

[20:12] cr33pup: your home folder should have most of the customizations you need/want [20:12] Hi! Im thinking about installing a ubuntu / kubuntu system on my comp. and the problem is that I want to do some programming on VB. I know Wine supports some just fine, but not all though and thats a major setback. And then I started reading about vmware and virtualbox. Now, can I get either one of them to run in the background inside my linux and get VB studio for say to appear in my Gnome / Kde start launcher? [20:12] cr33pup: I think most of the important stuff is in /home and /etc .. unless you've got lots of space and time for the total backup [20:12] IndyGunFreak, is there anyhting I can do...? [20:12] how can I get the INF file out of an hp service pack thats EXE? [20:12] draginxx: not that i know of, havne't heard of a problem like that [20:12] hlpme: if you want to program in VB linux is definitely not the way to go. [20:12] valleyp: doesn't those usually have some kind of switch to just extract? [20:13] kbrosnan: I also have settings, like the ppp modem config files, those are also in the home folder?

I mean I can obviously run Office on Wine but it would've been nice to do it through vmware. [20:13] oh [20:13] cr33pup: i don't think so, you would need to check the guides you used to config the devicese [20:14] Can anyone tell me how to reset X? [20:14] Starwiz: control alt backspace [20:14] Starwiz : reset or restart ? [20:14] Reset (To default) [20:14] hlpme: you can run windows in virtualbox or vmware. But you are not going to be able to have windows applications integrate seamlessly into gnome or kde that way. [20:14] /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS [20:14]  CJin: see pm [20:14] how can i place a new font into my fonts folder? [20:14] kbrosnan: ok, I have a 90 GB external HD, so it won't hurt to back EVERYTHING up, and then once I have installed unbuntu again, recovered the files I need, then I can just delete the stuff [20:14] valleyp: some of these files has a switch so you run them like "bigupdatepackagethingy.exe /extract" they will just extract the files to the current folder or something [20:15] valleyp: but it might be different for different updates of course [20:15] hlpme: seriously though, if you want to program in VB then you're really best off in windows. VB is a Microsoft product and really isn't designed to have any interaction with linux at all. [20:15] still lost [20:15] cr33pup: like Slart said if you have the time to do a full backup go for it [20:15] Oops/ [20:16] sorry, i thought you said restart [20:16] qr: Hmms okey.. Thats seriously bad news ;p Well... I guess Ill just have to dual-boot then [20:16] But, anyone know how to reset (factory settings) X [20:16] Lol tis okay [20:16] hlpme: that would be the way to go, yes. [20:16] qr: Okay, thanks =) [20:16] cr33pup: just make sure you get all the hidden folders and files, like your .mozilla folder in your home directory [20:17] how do i make a script that only runs 5 minutes after i boot ?

[20:27] eligos: log out and in the lower left corner there should be a menu with an option to change your session. [20:27] eligos; when you get to the login screen.. the lower left hand corner (normally) select a gnome [20:27] eligos; it'll ask you if you want to make that the default. click yes.

Which has never happened before. [20:28] bastid_razor & qr: I did that already, but the kubuntu login always appears [20:28] eligos; the login screen doesn't mean you're not using gnome. kubuntu has changed your splash that is all [20:28] eligos: it should take you to a regular ubuntu desktop if you select the correct session though. [20:29] eligos: did you install kumuntu over your ubuntu install? [20:29] bastid_razor: how do I change the splash then? [20:29] Hi... how can i enable Ctrl+Alt+F1/2/3... for switching to virtual terminals? [20:29] Frozen_north: yes [20:29] xTheGoat121x; look in #compiz-fusion for compiz help. if they are around.

I could have reinstalled unbuntu and mounted the drive by now im guessing, no easy fix ? [20:41] simortempler: as long as you install everything back to the same partitions, it should work [20:41] You have to make sure they are in the same order, etc [20:41] no but xp will over write grub [20:41] Yes [20:41] anybody here, who knows rhythmbox? [20:42] was so hard to fix the last time [20:42] if you back up your grub install, then replace it, should work [20:42] if you already have your XP install setup [20:42] un programa para la extraccion en archivos .rar??? [20:42] es que no me lo abre [20:42] simotempler: if all your data is on the other drive, I would wipe the 40gig and start over [20:42] but how do i get to linux at boot up [20:42] simotempler: just boot off a live cd and reinstall grub [20:42] ! espanol [20:42] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

Anyone with me? [20:45] eligos; right, you're still using kdm. okay to get gdm back where you can then uninstal kde and kubuntu-desktop.. which will solve your problems.. [20:45] you know what, I havent thought of that :P [20:45] konner: depends on the wireless card [20:45] good idea [20:45] i agree taomaster [20:45] simotempler: OK, there is a way to add the Linux boot to the Windows boot loader [20:45] NTAUTHORITY: Either will work, same underneath just different WM [20:45] aechols: what are you trying to do? [20:45] my Linksys WMP54GS [20:45] ya [20:45] is that not just in vista [20:45] will it be easy to setup with Xubuntu [20:45] im pc is 500 mhz p3, 192 mb ram, 12 gb hd, what linux distro will run [20:45] ? [20:45] will Xubuntu run? [20:45] i think so [20:46] yes NTAUTHORITY Xubuntu is for older PCs like that [20:46] i hope [20:46] it has a 4 mb gfx card tho [20:46] NTAUTHORITY: any distro will run, but I wouldn't try to run a window manager on that machine if I were you. [20:46] bastid_razor: what is the fastest way to do that? [20:46] eligos; you'll need to write this down .. ctrl f1 to get to tty1 then type sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop then type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start .. that should get you back to a gdm session and login screen. once you get logged back in get rid of the kde stuff [20:46] I would go w/ Xbuntu or Vector for that spec of a machine [20:46] i havent used Xubuntu before [20:46] 4 mb dedicated [20:46] its for my parents [20:46] to go on the internet [20:46] how can i compile a c programme using azunta [20:46] Pirate_Hunter: http://www.muhri.net/skipstone/ [20:46] simotempler: What Windows are you using?

[20:55] webble: you can have multiple channels in each server also [20:55] NTAUTHORITY: u should really try the live CD [20:55] ya i know [20:55] gotta check the hard ware requirments [20:55] hello.....? [20:55] tw3akz: no, you'll need to speak up. a lot of people in here... [20:55] tw3akz: no absolutley not, wait more than a minute next time please [20:55] foxhound_; that means it is running. i don't know where the buddy list is. do you have more than one desktop? possibly it is on another workspace? [20:55] damnit [20:55] NTAUTHORITY, or audacious if u look for something winamp-like [20:55] tw3akz: what do you need help with on partioning [20:55] dabbu: http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/documentations/subpage/documents/C/anjuta-manual/x893.html [20:55] i never used winamp [20:55] i was just thinking of it :P [20:56] amarok is really nice [20:56] im a noob to partitions but anyways im dual booting with vista [20:56] and im at step 4 of the ubuntu insatll [20:56] tw3akz: let the partitioner automatically use the free space. [20:56] oh cool. now im on another server too. i was worried if i would get disconnected from ubuntu server if i connect to others [20:56] why doesnt ubuntu use partial (?) apt like debian? rather than download the 5mb universe update every time [20:56] tw3akz: using wubi or install off the live cd? [20:56] how? i clicked manual [20:56] im installing off of cd [20:56] tasksel desided to remove more than I told it and it took out my LAMP system, if I install a package marked as redisual config and I reinstall it, will the missing config files be restored? [20:56] amarok is part of KDE. if you're using ubuntu and not kubuntu, you might like rhythmbox better [20:56] Quote from Xubuntu.org [20:56] Once installed, Xubuntu can run with 192 MB RAM, but it is strongly recommended to have at least 256 MB RAM. [20:56] tw3akz: why did you click manual? :) [20:56] ok so do you have free space on the drive [20:56] does this mean it will be too slow [20:56] NTAUTHORITY: what are the specs of the machine you're trying to install on? [20:57] 500 Mhz P3 192 MB RAM, 12.6 GB HDD [20:57] any ideas to get ubuntu booting: tried with options "noacpi noapic nolapic", but what user gets is "loading kernel 100%" and computer boots. [20:57] tw3akz: boot into windows first and defrag your harddrive, then use guided to resize :) [20:57] "Guided - Use Entire Disk" ???? [20:57] wont that erase my vista partition [20:57] NTAUTHORITY: everything is going to be slow with 192MB of ram if you're running a WM. [20:57] 4 MB Video card, i forgot [20:57] NTAUTHORITY: depends on how many apps you run at the same time [20:57] NTAUTHORITY: yes, it will be slow. [20:57] NTAUTHORITY: not much you can do about that except get more ram. [20:57] its only for basic internet [20:57] i already defragged about 4 times :D [20:57] qr, unless of course its windowmaker or gnustep [20:57] tw3akz: ok good, then use Guided - Resize [20:57] NTAUTHORITY: if you plan on running firefox, then it will be very slow. [20:57] new sata drive connected in ext. enclosure connected via usb shows up as only a single 250gb disk both in gparted and fdisk -l...(I'm on 8.04) is there a hdd size limitation or something? [20:57] NTAUTHORITY: you may want to look at instaling Xubuntu, then installing Fluxbox GUI.. it will run quite fluidly w/ 192mb. [20:57] <_earthmeLon> Hey guys, I changed my hostname using the hostname command just a few seconds ago and now apache FAILS on restart. Any suggestions? I've tried hostname www.blah.com and blah.com. Both do not work. [20:58] usser: no, he has 192MB of ram and a 500Mhz processor, any window manager will be slow. [20:58] ok [20:58] npope-laptop: there's no option for that, there's only "Guided - Use Entire Disk" [20:58] groklinux: how big is the disk? [20:58] fyrestrtr: 500gb [20:58] qr, windowmaker will run comfortably on that [20:58] i know Damn Small Linux will be fast :P [20:58] tw3akz: if you dont want to use your whole disk then make a / (root) partitions and a swap somewhere with the partitioner [20:58] fyrestrtr:there is no build option in my anjuta [20:58] NTAUTHORITY: but not as functional as an Ubuntu derivative(IMO) [20:58] _earthmeLon: it more than likely hasnt taken effect yet, try hard coding it into /etc/network (i belive) or reboot the comp for the hostname to engage [20:58] dabbu: install build-essential and read the documentation. [20:59] If I install a package marked as redisual config and I install it, will the missing config files be restored? [20:59] yeah [20:59] i tried it [20:59] groklinux: it could be a setting in your bios. [20:59] tw3akz: resize your partitions with GParted under the System, Administration tool bar [20:59] ahh so sorry i forget the no enter rule ! [20:59] groklinux: linux doesn't impose any such limit. [20:59] tw3akz: that will make room for your linux install [20:59] fyrestrtr: i didn't think so and that's an excellent lead...thx [20:59] npope-laptop: how do i resize them i what i'm curious about [21:00] tw3akz: gparted's GUI is pretty easy to use. [21:00] you pretty much drag and drop with the gui version [21:00] any ideas to get ubuntu booting: tried with options "noacpi noapic nolapic", but what user gets is "loading kernel 100%" and computer reboots. any ideas what to try next? [21:00] If I want to remote control a ubuntu desktop over the internet, what is the best way for me to do that? [21:00] <_earthmeLon> well, i was able to restart httpd before i did the hostname command. and AS SOON as i did it, it wouldnt restart [21:00] badkitty: vnc [21:00] tw3akz: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/10/21/partitioning-or-resizing-drives-in-ubuntu-using-gparted/ [21:00] is it the partition editor? [21:00] !vnc | badkitty [21:00] badkitty: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [21:00] badkitty: turn on the ubuntu desktop sharing... it's got vnc builtin [21:01] npope-laptop: thanks for that link un momento [21:01] qr: Isn't vnc unsecure though? [21:01] are theregood AIM clients for Xubuntu? [21:01] Reaby: try booting into single user mode , "s" at the end of the grub line [21:01] <_earthmeLon> npope-laptop well, i was able to restart httpd before i did the hostname command. and AS SOON as i did it, it wouldnt restart [21:01] badkitty, also try X over ssh [21:01] in Ubuntu where is the php5 log located? [21:01] NTAUTHORITY, pidgin [21:01] badkitty: if you're worried about security run vnc over ssh. ssh is very secure. [21:01] oh ok [21:01] _earthmeLon: thats because it is dependant on the hostname on the server, restarting the server should sync them together again [21:01] qr: Ok, what about vpn ?? [21:02] <_earthmeLon> alright [21:02] <_earthmeLon> sounds good [21:02] NTAUTHORITY: finch is a very nice cli version of pidgin [21:02] so I guess Xubuntu doesnt have any processor requirments... [21:02] Im getting a corrupt volume error when trying to mount an external usb drive that worked fine yesterday, can anyone help ? [21:02] NTAUTHORITY: Pidgin... I'm using it right now for this IRC [21:02] AaronShaf: the same place the apache log is stored. [21:02] oh [21:02] badkitty: yes, you could run vnc over an encrypted vpn for security, that would work as well. [21:02] AaronShaf, i dont think it has its own log look at apache acess and error logs [21:02] _earthmeLon:have you checked the error logs [21:02] i like XChat [21:02] fyrestrtr, I use lighttpd [21:02] AaronShaf, in /var/log of course [21:02] npope-laptop: ok. does it help in live-cd in install situation, and how to ensure ubuntu works after intallation [21:02] qr: which would be easier to set up? [21:02] fyrestrtr: how to build-essential [21:02] NTAUTHORITY: it has proc. requirements.. i think you're right on the bottom of that.. [21:02] AaronShaf: the its where its logs are stored. PHP doesn't do its own logging unless you explicitly tell it. [21:02] AaronShaf, lighthttd should log php events then [21:03] badkitty: a simple point-to-point vpn is fairly easy to set up. [21:03] dabbu: sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc [21:03] Reaby: sorry thought you were getting farther than the boot off the CD [21:03] badkitty, take a look at openvpn [21:03] sa [21:03] qr: thanks so much, so to recap before I start googling you think point to point vpn is better than vnc over ssh for ease of setup? [21:04] usser: thanks bro [21:04] amq bu ne :nono: [21:04] npope-laptop: nope, i have an forum topic in loco forum, user has problem that ubuntu doesn't even boot. so maybe i just tell him that you system is incompatible? [21:04] :nono: [21:04] <_earthmeLon> npope-laptop, vim /etc/networks. Looking in there. What should I add bro? [21:04] badkitty: why are yo using vnc over ssh just do an x forward [21:04] badkitty: vpn over ssh is probably easier to set up, but will have to be set up every time you make a connection. with a vpn you can set it up once and then re-use it by just reconnecting to vnc through the existing vpn. [21:04]  fyrestrtr:there is no problem here..it is already there..i am able to compile c programme using gcc command in terminal [21:05] dabbu: then setup your project correctly [21:05] Reaby: could be a bad iso image that was burned or a bad cd thats throwing some weird codes to the bootmanager [21:05] * sempaticBLacK D0131015farda [21:05] * sempaticBLacK D0131015farda [21:05] * sempaticBLacK D0131015farda [21:05]  fyrestrtr:how to do taht [21:05] sempaticBLacK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[21:23] foxhound_; /usr/bin/firefox [21:23] anyone know of a guide to setup dm-crypt to decrpyt an existing partition [21:23] is there a way to install just the ubuntu base system (like arch does)? would installing the server edition and then installing a DE be similar to that? [21:23] can anyone tell me what the problem is [21:23] nm-applet doesnt show up and i cant use network-admin [21:24] jpjacobs: you can try do it through command sudo alsamixer [21:24] hardy is not allowing me to connect via wireless [21:24] bastid_razor: I did it man, thanks a lot for your help!!! [21:24] psypher246: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization [21:24] eligos; awesome, glad i could help :) [21:24] Seth_and_Meribet: what is your wireless device [21:24] evilbug, yep thats pretty much how its in ubuntu [21:24] evilbug, install a base server [21:24] when I do that thing in terminal it lets me know that it knows that I have a wireless card [21:24] Pirate_Hunter: even when the gui mixer already reports 100% [21:24] ok. one more thing. i have installed things like w32codecs and libdvd*** is there a way to disarm such things so that data dvd's don't have to flow through those filters too ? what i could one time read at 20m/s is now at 1m/s ??? [21:25] IndyGun: I have a realtek I think - it's for gateway 405e [21:25] will a .deb file work with ubuntu? [21:25] Kristopher: It depends. But yes, Ubuntu uses debs.

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 [21:26] bastid_razor how to install it in other way ?

[21:27] Pirate_Hunter: indeed [21:27] i have the tar.gz file, or is it no use ? === NTAUTHORITY is now known as Mac32geek [21:27] aguitel lshw [21:27] usser- and one more thing, does the server ask me about what packages i'd like installed? [21:27] foxhound_; what tar.gz? from where? [21:27] psypher246: you don't want foo v 1-3 you want foo v 1-3ubuntu4 instead. [21:28] jpjacobs: youve increased you mic sound and nothing no sound? [21:28] Flannel: sorry i thought that just included whatever new appas you install cos u create a new repo, didn't realise this includes updates [21:28] Seth_and_Meribet: you do have the wireless card on (eg no hardware killswitch or an fn+... key combo)? [21:28] Flannel: foo? [21:28] jpjacobs igain ^ [21:28] evilbug, its only asks for a role like lamp or dhcp and installs packages that are needed for that role [21:28] bastid_razor: from adobe.com [21:28] Agent_bob, thankz [21:28] psypher246: Well, I'm not sure ifthere's anyway to automate the update processes of that, but you could install a fresh install, update, and then copy stuff from your apt archives (or just download everything manually from the repos) [21:28] jpjacobs: yes the wireless card is on [21:29] foxhound_; does adobe.com give you instructions on what to do with said tar.gz? [21:29] psypher246: just ... random package for an example. [21:29] Pirate_Hunter: the sound does work, all sliders are at 100% and unmuted, i selected the right mic channel, but the volume is waaay to low to be usable [21:29] Agent_bob: hm? [21:29] I'm trying to run a proxy server in my LAN but all programs I've tried I get the output 'Proxy Resufed Connection' but nmap detects the proxy running. Any clue ? [21:29] i know its broadcom corp that provides drivers for windows [21:29] Killer--Tux, and the other one with virtual folders properties? [21:29] Does anyone know if theres a How to for PVR-150 TV-cards and Ubuntu 8.04? I can't make it work [21:29] bastid_razor: nope, just a download [21:29] usser- i see. i'm looking to install a barebones ubuntu since i'm already used to commands and whatnot, and i imagine that the desktop version does come with stuff i don't need running in the bg. [21:30] hey guys. I just installed ubuntu on my laptop and it's the first time i've ever used any type of linux OS. Is there any type of system maintenance required to keep the OS running at peak performance like there is in windows? [21:30] Flannel: ok i'll have a look, this truly has to be as hand free as possible, just put in cd and boot and install everything with updates and as small as possible\ [21:30] usser what properties [21:30] evilbug, oh yes, if u want custom installation desktop is no way to go [21:30] bastid_razor: i opened the flash player directly instead of terminal and it installed it for me [21:30] foxhound_; have you tried uncompressing the file to see if it has instructions in there somewhere? [21:30] usser- thanks, that's it. for now... :) [21:30] bastid_razor: looks like the path is home/foxhound/firefox [21:30] psypher246: Right, I'm talking about doing it on *your* machine, and then grabbing the updated versions from your apt archives and putting them onto the CD image [21:30] Killer--Tux, the virtual machine settings. [21:31] how do i properly replicate adding a new user with system/admin privileges via the terminal? [21:31] usser ok here it goes http://img376.imageshack.us/my.php?image=error1uw9.png [21:31] anyone know of a guide to setup dm-crypt to decrpyt an existing partition [21:31] Raspe: not so much... but you'll notice every 30-40 bootups it will want to do a checkdisk (fsck in Linux terms) [21:31] jpjacobs igain control (slider) but you will also want to mute the mic-boost and/or external amp [21:31] Shadow6363: you mean like sudo permissions? [21:31] Flannel: ok, but can i just replace the file in the pool with the new file? [21:31] jpjacobs: reading online for your problem but i guess this might be beyond my expertise [21:31] jpjacobs in alsamixer controls [21:31] is there a way to change the contrast and ligh/gamma of my screen ? because everything is dark [21:31] Shadow6363: adduser, and then add them to the admin group [21:31] foxhound_; which firefox told you that? [21:31] whatshisname_sea: thanks. what does fsck mean exactly? [21:31] Raspe: but there is really no need for defrag or anything like that [21:32] psypher246: Yes, provided you rebuild the packages/packages.gz [21:32] bastid_razor: not firefox, the flashplayer installer [21:32] Raspe: fsck is the check disk utility in Linux [21:32] npope-la1top. I regenerated my ssl key. Maybe I didnt do it correctly. I've found a lot of posts saying that that could be a problem. I am having a hard time finding a good tutorial on just setting up the certs/keys whatever. Any suggestion for that? [21:32] and that is mentioned in the installcd wiki [21:32] whatshisname_sea: ok great. thanks [21:32] Agent_bob: no igain, nor external amp (which would be kinda weird for a mic i guess)... [21:32] psypher246: the alternate/server install CD has the preseed/etc stuff which tells it what packages to install, and then a repository on the CD, which it uses to install from. [21:32] foxhound_; okay. [21:32] hallo [21:32] bastid_razor: is there a way to change the contrast and ligh/gamma of my screen ? because everything is dark [21:32] Killer--Tux, alright remove /home and replace it with /home/adolfo [21:32] Raspe: By the way... Welcome aboard! [21:32] jpjacobs alsamixer controls the card not the attached devices [21:32] Killer--Tux, name it home [21:33] psypher246: Which is also what the minimal CD does, except that it doesn't have packages on the CD, and gets them straight from the repositories online instead.

I am trying to compile Gnobog (bookmakrs organizer) and getting this error > gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found [23:27] KhutienNang: use what makes you feel comfortable...that is the great thing.. there are quite a few IRC clients... but i just like to mix my IM with IRC [23:29] usser: still the same... I've exhausted my imagination as far as search keywords go... should I just bin the NIC or what? [23:29] I'm trying build a custom ubuntu install cd, with my own preseed, as well as a few other things. I'm having trouble trying to re-squash the squashfs. anyone know how to help with that? [23:29] noderazor: though about just using a .deb for gnobog ? http://debian.cs.binghamton.edu/debian/pool/main/g/gnobog/ [23:30] usser: though this machine uses a linksys, which is not free of problems. The GUI configuration tool didn't work on either box [23:30] will try ;-) [23:30] What is the difference of the RT kernel and the normal generic one? [23:31] NodeRazor: i can't guarentee it, but seems easier [23:31] well actually there is no x64 package =( [23:31] After partitioning a drive, I used "dd" to copy a smaller partition to a new disk, hoping I'd get all the data, but keep the larger partition size. But after mounting the new partition, it shows the old, smaller partition size, although fdisk still shows the larger size. Anyone know how to fix this? [23:31] I will need to compile it manually I guess. [23:31] NodeRazor: sorry, i tried [23:31] hehe thank you [23:32] tortho: I suspect RT stands for "Real-Time", so I further suspect it has optimizations for low-latency. [23:32] markstos i wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pool [23:32] i have an asus m50 laptop and it has built in ir, i recently acquired an hp ir remote for one of their laptops, is there a way that i could use this remote with this computer? [23:32] tortho: a RT is a real time kernel it is often used in music when latency is an issue [23:32] They have ia64 but not amd64 or any platform. [23:32] pole even [23:32] why would mksquashfs complain about a broken symlink, within the squashfs image? [23:32] Agent_bob: :) The good news is that the new drive is just a copy, so I can wipe it and start over if I need to. [23:33] NodeRazor: uhhh.. what are yu runing then? [23:33] TheClam, i dunno what to tell u, i tried removing wifi0 myself but after ubuntu info reassured me its normal i kinda stopped trying [23:33] markstos you need to. you can't dd accross size boundries [23:33] pdlnhrd: So, I will be just fine with running the RT kernel all the time..? Cinelerra needed it to run... [23:33] Ubuntu 8.04.1 x64 [23:33] Core2Quad [23:34] markstos mkfs.ext3 the partition. and tar everything over. [23:34] NodeRazor: search for amd64 .deb gnobog.... you'll find a copy if that is the route you want [23:34] usser: cheers for the help. I guess it's just one of those annoying things! Hopefully will be phasing that machine out once I get qmail running on this one anyway [23:34] NodeRazor: core2quad is compatible with amd64 [23:34] yes [23:34] tortho: yeah... it won't hurt anything... but if you are playing music and games at the same time you might notice one lag over the other [23:34] markstos or rsync even [23:34] heck cp -a for that atter [23:35] Okay, I have a directory called www, and I want everything in the group www-data to have rwx access to it, but I don't want anybody else to have access to it. I've chmodded the directory (recursively) to 770, but now I can't read anything in it (I've added the account I'm using to www-data). I suspect I'm doing something wrong, what is it though? [23:35] Agent_bob: I understand the approach you are suggesting. I'll give that a shot. [23:35] where can I find gnome-libs-dev, it seems to have gnomeConf.sh file in it... [23:35] NodeRazor: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/debian-amd64/debian-amd64/pool/main/g/gnobog/ [23:35] pdlnhrd: so... it runs something in RT and let the rest get "whats left"..? [23:35] wow nice [23:35] NodeRazor: i prefer debs because of it deals with dependiences [23:35] yeah me too [23:35] duairc: You can mean, you can't read it from the web, or from the file system? [23:36] Thank You, pdlnhrd [23:36] I can't read it from the filesystem. [23:36] duairc: Run "groups" . Does it show you in the right group? [23:36] noone has a comment on my squashfs issue? [23:36] anyoen familar with pidgin [23:36] tortho: it is a little more complex than that... it just means when a resource is scheduled to run at a certain time it will run regardless of what else is going on... [23:36] I get this error now LOL > Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libdb3 [23:36] jpiwowar: yes [23:37] kc8pxy: Try a more specific mailing list or a channel. It's a fairly specific technical issue. [23:37] NodeRazor: sorry :( i tried [23:37] im trying to get gadu-gadu on it [23:37] pdlnhrd: Okay, think I know... Thanks! [23:37] it is not one of the option [23:37] kc8pxy there is a wiki page dedicated to "customizing the live cd" you should visit it. [23:37] markstos: what would be the appropriate channel? [23:37] however it says pidgin supports it [23:37] markstos: No actually, it just says "admin". I ran `usermod -a -G www-data duairc`, that should add me to www-data, right? [23:37] kc8pxy: I don't know. [23:37] tortho: i took a couple CS classes about that topic... but if you are going to be doing sound and video... a RT kernel is good [23:38] duairc: I'm not certain about that, but I know sometimes you have to log out and back into a shell for group changes to take effect. [23:38] Agent_bob: all the pages i found seemed a bit old. do yu have a modern link? [23:38] Okay, I'll try that, thanks. [23:38] kc8pxy how would i add it i dont know the server name or port [23:38] soulc, most of the http://packages.debian.org/ should work on Ubuntu ? [23:39] markstos: Yep, that worked, thanks! [23:39] i need some help getting my sound card to work, [23:39] pdlnhrd: not really.. gonna grab some dv tapes and edit them a little, but normally just internet/office/music for me... But I'll just stick with the RT then... trying to clean up as I guess there is 15 kernel versions here now.. [23:39] gadu gadu is in the options? [23:39] i don't think it is installed, i didn't have a net connection when i did the install [23:39] *so [23:40] what sort of configuration does wvdial need [23:41] !hp [23:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about hp === simon_ is now known as Spudly [23:41] hi! anyone here running ubuntu 8.04 on a laptop and disturbs of high noise from the fans? doesnt happen in Windows Vista. what could it be? I've seen that when running firefox with several tabs sometimes the fan speed and sound increases. how could one fix this? in windows i most often barely hear the fans... [23:42] anyone know anything about setting up a 3G modem? [23:42] hi @ all [23:42] KenBW2: just found a link to day... second [23:43] KenBW2: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_internet_access_gprs_edge_via_bluetooth_gsm_phone [23:43] I need graphics help :| (Whenever I try and add visual effects the desktop goes white(Nvidia GeForce 7150M)) [23:43] jpjacobs: that applies to the UK? [23:43] is someone here using LMMS ? [23:43] hehe, well... gnobog will not work then =D [23:44] no idea , i didn't even try it yet [23:44] too much dependancies needed and no ubuntu package available. [23:44] Hi all, can anyone direct me to an apt that is able to allow me to view the screen from a remote computer, that is also able to send sound from the server to the remote computer. The server being Ubuntu gutsy and the client being Windows. [23:44] (and apart of that, i'm not in the UK :p) [23:44] jpjacobs: thats over bluetooth :( [23:44] simps, VMware [23:44] simps, VirtualBox [23:45] I need graphics help :| (Whenever I try and add visual effects the desktop goes white(Nvidia GeForce 7150M)) [23:45] simps, VirtualBox, does not support x64 yet. [23:45] KenBW2: then try googleing [23:45] duairc: Great! glad to help. [23:45] can any one help with installin a sound card? [23:45] simps: tsclient - (you're not looking for a virtual machine, are you?) [23:45] Help plz! I think i got my wlan work (the notebook with usb stick is connted to my fritz box). The router tells me there is a connection, but i cant use firefox or ping :/ [23:45] anyone using irssi know how to get it to reconnect when it loses connection? [23:45] automatically that is [23:46] Spudly, NodeRazor, not Virtual Machines, no. just a remote server. [23:46] you can try VMware server [23:46] DarkTan_Linux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [23:46] simps: yep - tsclient (which depends on rdesktop) - that'll do ya [23:47] Weaver: Can you ping an IP address, but not a name? [23:47] markstos: looks like i've followed the howto pretty close.. the only real issue is the fact that the the mksquashfs command in this howto fails, complaining that one of rhe symlinks in the tree to be squashed, is broken. [23:47] http://www.atworkonline.it/~bibe/ubuntu/custom-livecd.htm [23:47] Qster: Try #irssi [23:47] hi, can anyone help with installation of broadcom wireless b43? [23:47] simps: if you install tsclient and rdesktop, you should be fine - in tsclient, you can set options for remote sound coming to local pc (i.e. the one you're connecting from) [23:48] simps: "remote" being the server you're connecting to (hope that makes sense) [23:48] kc8pxy: Is it a symlink you care about? :) [23:48] simps, you can also try UltraVNC [23:48] I need graphics help :| (Whenever I try and add visual effects the desktop goes white(Nvidia GeForce 7150M)) [23:48] Elaztic: I installed one recently. Let think if I can recall how. [23:48] Spudly, yea. Do i need to install anything on the server? or does ubuntu come with that already. [23:48] markstos: no it.. but the squashfs might, it's a symlink to the initrd :-/ [23:48] how can I check the version of a program installed via apt? [23:49] simps: server = ubuntu... now there's a thing... [23:49] simps: with Windows, I know RDP has it all inbuilt. ubuntu, not sure... [23:49] My firefox is broken. It's not loading links... [23:49] As are seamonkey, opera, midori, epiphany, and net-surf [23:50] NodeRazor, i just checked the ultravnc website. it does not mention allowing server sounds to be carried to the client. you are sure it does? [23:50] Spudly, but i am able to apt-get RDP on ubuntu? [23:51] I need graphics help :| (Whenever I try and add visual effects the desktop goes white(Nvidia GeForce 7150M)) [23:51] simps: i believe there is an RDP server... just trying to find out what it's called [23:51] Does anyone know a good program that extracts mp3 files from flv files? [23:51] Is my problem unsolvable? :S [23:51] markstos: any ideas? [23:52] simps, I don't remember, I think so. [23:52] kc8pxy: I'm sorry, I'm really not familiar with squashfs. That's why I recommended a more specific help forum. :) [23:53] Starwiz: how did you install the nvidia driver? [23:53] simps, It has > UltraVNC Mirror Driver [23:53] This should work for sound too. [23:53] markstos: this is already a more specific help forum.. my primary distro is not ubuntu :) [23:53] how would i find out how my internal infrared is connected to my laptop? [23:53] tarwatirno: I went into the terminal and typed |Sudo init 1| Then, cd and ran the driver. [23:55] will00: nasty but likely assured way would be to comb dmesg :) [23:55] Hi when I try to build mplayer from source using apt-build I get an error "Missing source package name for source_by_source()." am I missing a line from my apt-sources list? [23:55] kc8pxy, what exactly would i be looking for? [23:55] tarwatirno: I went into the terminal and typed |Sudo init 1| Then, cd and ran the driver. (I ran it 2 times though) [23:55] Starwiz: which versio n of the driver are you using? [23:55] Ummmm. [23:56] ...... i 'm not sure.. i'm not practiced in working with IR in linux. but if the kernel saw it, it should be in dmesg, ot /var/log/messages :) [23:56] Does apt-file require any specific ports to be open, or does it work like apt-get ? [23:56] tarwatirno: how do I check [23:56] ? [23:56] Starwiz: the installers filename has a version string at the end [23:57] hello, in FSTAB I've set up a linux partition to show up in a folder in my home directory. It works, but it's showing up with "root" permissions. How can I configure the partition to be used just for myself? Thanks in advance :) [23:57] Kk [23:57] NodeRazor, i still do not see a mention of sound :x [23:57] is there a DivX for ubuntu ? [23:57] simps, don't know then =D Try a forum, I guess [23:57] Aug 16 18:40:02 turing /USR/SBIN/CRON[8517]: (alstone) CMD (/home/alstone/screenshot.sh) syslog says cron ran it [23:58] who pm'd me [23:58] I need help setting up the vrdp on virtualbox between linux and windows xp using external authorization. [23:58] hey all, is there a gui configuration for AppArmor? [23:58] NodeRazor, thanks :) [23:58] NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.12-pkg1 [23:58] anyone mind saying my name? :) just a test [23:59] Qster: [23:59] simps, LOL np [23:59] Qster [23:59] thanks [23:59] lolnp [23:59] Qster [23:59] does anyone here know anything about VirtualBox?
