[00:00] okay ill look into it rhorse [00:00] Rock, paper, scissors... [00:00] SiDi: your definition differes from what the ubuntu devs definiton is. :) [00:00] SiDi, so create a user guest and on restart run a script that wipe /home/guest clean [00:00] any other IRC chatrooms i should have on my list other than Ubuntu and TwitLive (leo laporte) [00:00] usser, and ask mr. average end user to write such a script ? :D | Dr_Willis i'll bug the devs about their definition then :) [00:00] how do you change the mouse scroll speed? I have the apple mighty mouse and it is scrolling too fast in gnome. [00:00] to be more specific, it is in nautilus [00:01] myself I think it's inculded in package xloadimage [00:01] hmmm [00:01] twisted: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades its all there, follow that [00:01] SiDi, yea why not, its rm -rf /home/guest/* put this line in /etc/rc.local and you're done [00:01] what about fbsetbg? [00:01] When I had another user "enable automatic login", but then removed that user.. And then chose "enable automatic login" for main user, Ubuntu won't load and stops at a black screen. The only way I can then get into Ubuntu is press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart". Anyone know of a fix and how I can now get "enable automatic login" to work? [00:01] myself yes, xloadimage is the package you want, it includes xsetbg [00:01] Cry__Baby: have you tested in a VM? [00:01] danbhfive: what?

[00:02] usser yes, that has a root option, forgot about that one. :) [00:02] google is our friend.. and ive NO idea what that gdm-guest-session actually does [00:02] this picture here, i am at this screen http://www.tipsfor.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/unetbootinbooting.jpg but theres no options, it doesnt even say UNetBootin, it just says "Press [Tab] to edit options" without any menu options [00:02] myself, feh is a picture viewer it can also set background [00:02] danbhfive: im runnung ubuntu as guest in Virtualbox [00:02] JayX, it does have irc abilities, yes [00:03] usser it can cycle them eveery so minutes? === Maveas is now known as maveas [00:03] is it GUI? [00:03] myself, you can script it to do just that [00:03] myself, no its not a gui [00:03] JayX, but it also does aim, yahoo, msn, etc as well [00:03] does anyone in here know anything about udev rules? [00:03] Cry__Baby: I see, so it happens every time? then you should file a bug report [00:03] danbhfive: in windows login, there still appears a BLANK under the username I removed.. I say thats connected [00:03] problem? i dual boot.. 8.04 and 8.10 i share the same home directory between the 2 os's now when i boot 8.04 my wireless is missing in the network manager... any ideas? [00:04] i can hook up a wired conection [00:04] myself xsetbg is the simplest but feh will work too with a command argument [00:04] the wireless is missing on the 8.04... [00:05] so rhorse, what package do i install for xsetbg? [00:05] arthur_: maybe try LBM (linux-backports-modules [00:05] myself xloadimage [00:05] ever since i've added an msn account, my yahoo accounts on pidgin wont connect, could anyone tell me why? [00:05] yes i can not connect to my router in 8.04 wireless... not even in the network manager... === TamCore is now known as TamCore[oFF] [00:06] arthur_: I meant to install LBM [00:06] use to be b4 i installed 8.10.... [00:06] xooo, i think yahoo is doing some upgrade to their network, it shouldnt have anything to do with msn [00:06] okay so rhorse, i did that, what do i get started to do it? [00:06] oh [00:06] ok, I'm trying to make a triple-boot arangement so I can test the 64-bit Ubuntu properly, but I'm a little unsure of how to do this. The installer's partition screen wants to cut into XP's space instead of my current Ubuntu, so I can't get more than 2.5GB. Should I be able to go into the regular editor, shrink my current ext3, and make a new one, without hurting my current installation? [00:06] usser: what do you mean you think? [00:07] lbm? what is the package name? [00:07] sudo apt-get install ? [00:07] myself xsetbg file.jpg [00:07] xooo, people were having problems with yahoo since yesterday, you're not the first one with the problem [00:07] to connect to yahoo through Pidgin, replace the page server name to : cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com [00:07] oh ok [00:08] or you can use the web interface [00:08] Any way to delete or change my name on the ubuntu forums?

[00:09] yes [00:09] i am trying to figure out what happened to the wireless in 8.04 use to work till i installed 8.10 i dual boot and use the same home directory for both... [00:09] Forums? [00:09] has anyone managed to get the optical output working on an nvidia MCP7A Chipset? [00:09] I believe I am supposed to also install grub to the new partition I'm trying to make, so that it will leave my real GRUB alone, and then I am supposed to chainload into Ubuntu 64 [00:09] HELLO [00:09] doesn't do anything [00:10] rhorse [00:10] myself try xloadimage -onroot my.image [00:10] does any one know what kind of Ubuntu server edition can I run for my laptop using Core Duo T2300? should I download the 32bit version or 64 bit version? [00:11] Surlent777: oh i thought u were tripple booting like I did *Win XP, WIN 7, and ubuntu, sorry i cant be of much help to you [00:11] ima try this script i found [00:11] if it works, seems to be already written w/ everything [00:11] JayX: I just want to know if ext3 is cool with being resized, or if it will cause trouble [00:11] myself try the xloadimage command first. :) [00:12] hello [00:13] y a t'il quelqu'un qui parle le francais [00:13] Is anyone familiar with a SIP softphone which supports more than 2 lines (the more lines the better)? [00:13] myself be wary of scripts you didn't write yourself. ;) [00:13] AAAAAAAAAA [00:13] why is it so hard to do a SIMPLE THING >:) [00:13] I got pidgin by workinb with adding the following to /etc/hosts ---> 66.163.181.170 scs.msg.yahoo.com [00:14] that let me connect to yahoo withit. [00:14] partitioning is a terrifying pain [00:14] myself: You're doing pretty good making A's, (that's a pretty simple thing). [00:14] and I'm also worried about this upcoming grub2 thing and how that'll affect everything [00:14] usr13 thank you, you are a modern philosopher [00:14] It pays to lern how to use grub. and how to manually edit the menu.lst [00:15] I can do that! the menu.lst thing I mean [00:15] more or less [00:15] myself: You're welcome. [00:15] myself, isn't this fun? Welcome to Ubuntu. [00:15] where to put libflashplayer.so? [00:15] Install one OS.. backup your menu.lst, install the 2nd linux os... check its menu.lst :) then go to town haxoring your own menu.lst FUN@! [00:15] I made it go into 800x600x16 in the framebuffer on boot, and I manually added XP...though it annoys me that every kernel upgrade I have to renable the framebuffer and XP =/ [00:16] wx09: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ [00:16] Dr_Willis: I was planning on installing 64's grub on the 64 partition, and then chainloading with 32's GRUB in the MBR [00:16] it occurs to me that I just repeated what you said [00:16] so ignore that [00:16] Surlent777: is the 64bit grub different from the 32 bit grub? [00:16] hi [00:16] Surlent777: I just let one os handle all the grubyness.. but then again.. i dont see the need for 32bit and 64bit :) i have been usin g64bit for some time now. with no issues. [00:16] no [00:17] danbhfive: I'm just doing 2 installs to test the 64 bit before I make it my only Ubuntu [00:17] 64bit ubuntu has reached a very mature stage. [00:17] Dr_Willis: See above [00:17] Surlent777: so you could use a configfile? [00:17] it's all one big messy config file, yeah [00:17] please, is it possible to delete content of /tmp without experience crash of the system or the apps? [00:18] McBrain: You may want to reboot as soon as you clean it out.. and be sure all users are logged out.. just to be safe. [00:18] Surlent777: I meant the command: configfile (hdx,x)/boot/grub/menu.lst [00:18] McBrain: Not a good idea... what are you trying to do? Running out of disk space? [00:18] Dr_Willis: Can I simply make a new ext3 partition by resizing my current one, or will that make things mess up? [00:18] hello [00:18] Dr_Willis: thanks. In fact, I ask this _because_ I don't wanna reboot :) [00:19] Surlent777: rezising can goof up the UUID's in some cases.. [00:19] dammit [00:19] I cannot make my bluetooth working (acer extensa 5630) [00:19] the installer wants to tear into XP's space, I notice [00:19] McBrain: a user COULD be doing somthing in /tmp/ that could get goofed up. [00:19] I tried this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [00:19] Dr_Willis: With all this taken into account, what would you suggest I do? [00:20] Dr_Willis: ... which means that I shouldn't try ? [00:20] Surlent777: all 'what' into account? I dont see much need for 32bit if your system can handle 64bit. [00:20] I need some free space or VirtualBox won't continue :( [00:20] I can think of 2 apps i have issues with on 64bit.. [00:20] McBrain: heh theres the /var/apt/cache also :) [00:20] I how you can help me, please [00:21] hope [00:21] Dr_Willis: yes, I did that already [00:21] Dr_Willis: I want to try it out first before I kill off the 32 system, and I also need this for future reference, as when/if I do go over into 64 I want to shrink my current ext3 enough to make backup space on my hard drive that I can safely assimilate after everything's done [00:21] my /tmp seems to be under one meg. [00:22] (I lack sufficient external storage for a backup) [00:22] Surlent777: shrinking the existing ubuntu partiions. can in some cases caus confuseion IF the 'uuid's of the drives change. found that out the hard way once. [00:22] Surlent777: jot down the current uuid's just in case. :) [00:22] how would one fix that? [00:22] and what are the symptoms of it being messed up? [00:22] Surlent777: it wont boot. :) due to / not getting mounted [00:23] Dr_Willis: in fact i'm using VirtualBox, and... it takes a lot os space to install something with it (it was quite unexpected) [00:23] sounds straightforward [00:23] Surlent777: in /etc/fstab see the UUID= Lines [00:23] Surlent777: and in menu.lst also [00:23] I think the partition editor can also tell me [00:23] and I've seen the menu.lst ones [00:23] but how would I change the UUIDs back [00:23] ? [00:23] Surlent777: tune2fs command.. or edit the menu.lst and fstab file [00:24] how can I do a clean installation from a semi-working one without a cd-rom? [00:24] sounds like a huge pain in the ass...but either way I would need to shrink this partition, if only for storage =/ [00:24] wx09 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [00:25] Dr_Willis: How likely is it to mess up, and is there any way to avoid doing so while doing this? [00:26] Surlent777: it depends.. some disk move/resize operations can change the UUID's - ive never figured out what ones exactly [00:26] things can never be easy, can they? =( === __ is now known as Guest42203 [00:27] Hi!

Try booting the livecd and pressing F6 to get to other options and entering "acpi=off" [01:52] Crewsr3: what video card? to get the max res. i MUST install the nvidia drivers for my machine. [01:52] Dr_Willis, now your just making me jeolous, ziroday any ideas as to what I can do? [01:52] Dr_Willis: well that's not what is needed to extract an exe [01:53] Crewsr3: not really, you can try use the vesa driver but that might give sub-par performance [01:53] jefinc: a exe is normally not an 'rar' archive.. ive ran them with wine to make them auto-decompress. or used cabextract befor . but never rar stuff. [01:53] Dr_Willis, I'm running the open source drivers for my laptops Radeon RV250 [01:53] I have DMZ in my router turned on (only temporary while I test stuff, I'm turning it off later). I'm doing some testing with my firewall and other stuff. Well it logged the same IP trying to connect to multiple ports on my system. None of these ports are open. But I did a whois on the address just out of curiosity. It's registered in China. The Chinese are after my porn. They need to stop porn scanning me and get their own d [01:53] amn porn. [01:54] Crewsr3: ati ? (ack! hurts ussss.. good luck) :) [01:54] Dr_Willis, ziroday thanks for you help and time!

[01:57] separate gotacha [01:57] its the live [01:58] dva5912: i did have a neat printer/scanner that worked like a photocopier. :) [01:58] sorry ziroday live cd [01:58] twisted: you need the alternate cd :) [01:58] i mounted it mount -o loop ubuntu.iso [01:58] the printer is accepting the command but it wont do anyting it goesto the printing screen on its LCD but thats it and it only does that for 3 seconds [01:58] cant i mount the squash file too? [01:58] twisted: you cannot upgrade from the livecd. You need to use the alternate cd. [01:58] I'm back [01:58] who's your daddy [01:59] darn well ill burn it then install it :) [02:00] a readout of the troble shooter: http://printer.pastebin.com/mddad2b0 [02:00] for my printer [02:00] when i use sudo apt-get -f install give me error sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 116, should be 0 how i can fix this thx [02:01] kad_: Did you change your sudoers file to be owned by someone else? [02:01] Flannel, no i install bind GUI, and then this happen [02:02] :'( [02:02] hello [02:02] thats... weird... [02:03] what's the best way to get irc? [02:03] boogyDown987: learn to use some other irc client.. [02:03] !irc [02:03] 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 [02:03] boogyDown987: I use Konversation as it is similar to mIRC [02:03] kad_: Odd indeed. Well, You'll have to make your sudoers owned by root:root again. You'll have to reboot and go to the recovery console to do so [02:03] is there any risk in showing my server's ip on youtube video? (ssh is open on my machine) [02:03] i got to go back to windows. hate to but its the only way to keep from getting my arse beat. [02:03] Is it possible to obtain the info that appears by the firs time on a console, by issuing a command? [02:04] Flannel, if i go to recovery then what i do ? [02:04] !info backtrack [02:04] Package backtrack does not exist in jaunty [02:04] ziroday, back. acpi=off didnt make a difference =[ [02:04] kad_: chown root:root/etc/sudoers [02:04] kad_: er, [02:04] dva5912: if the forums were up this would be a much easier problem to solve :\ [02:04] kad_: chown root:root /etc/sudoers [02:04] Flannel, here i don't see any change in sudoers [02:04] Flannel, ohhhhh yes [02:04] I'm taking my hard drive of a dead machine and putting it in another computer. Will UBUNTU reconfigure itself? [02:04] i tried konversation for a minute but couldn't find a server list? [02:04] you cant solve it i dont think [02:05] dva5912: we can solve anything in linux ;) [02:05] fbc-mx: may be a few issues.. but it should work.. [02:05] their is no support what so ever. Canon hasnt released ANY linux drivers for it and hackers dont have it [02:05] Flannel, it change done [02:05] Flannel, workie thx =) [02:05] boogyDown987: hmm that may be true, I think you have to actually know the server you want to connect to [02:06] Dr_Willis, ok.. is there any command that might help me with any reconfiguration? [02:06] boogyDown987: but you could always reference to here: http://www.mirc.com/servers.html [02:06] why does sed "/match/replace/" /file/path > /file/path always result in a bank file. I want to use sed on a file and replace it with the output of sed [02:07] thanks [02:07] fbc-mx: not sure.. its possible you may have soundcard, or video card issued depending on the cards... but most of that stuff auto-configures these days. [02:07] k, thanks [02:07] lol windows 7 disk runs in wine [02:08] ewsubach: That might be a question better asked in #bash [02:08] for an "Upgrade" HA! [02:08] After 8.10>9.04 upgrade when calling a GNOME terminal a message appears "When creating the child process for this terminal an error occurred", and it will not accept input. -- How to fix this? [02:08] ack, somehow I've hosed my server with a rather agressive 7z process, and ssh windows -despite being connected- are utterly unresponsive. What's the kill syntax for "any process named foo" ? :/ [02:08] soreau: thanks, i'll ask there [02:08] killall foo VolVE [02:09] Dr_Willis, oh, well, super, thanks [02:09] ewsubach, maybe u need to use sed -i s'/match/replace/g' /file/path > /file/apth2 i think check man page [02:09] VolVE: try killall [02:09] thanks [02:09] can i play windows games in ubuntu [02:09] with wine [02:09] or cedega yes [02:10] but only some of them. Not All. [02:10] hi [02:10] hey, i'm trying to connect to my ubuntu machine with my 10.4 mac with remote desktop.... can't seem to figure out how [02:10] can anyone help? [02:10] can i play windows games in ubuntu [02:10] ruler: with wine [02:10] !wine | ruler [02:10] yes [02:10] ruler: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [02:11] Looks like ubuntu isnt compatable with the hardware in my new laptop :( [02:11] also, is it just me, or are the ubuntu forums down? [02:12] lstarnes: wine is reading exe file so virus will come know [02:12] ruler: what? [02:13] lstarnes: it is used to install exe file virus also exe so virus may spread or not [02:14] ziroday: http://pastebin.com/f75efc1d0 , http://pastebin.com/f2430fc0a === root is now known as Guest97298 [02:14] kad_: genius, thank you! [02:14] ruler: there are many viruses that don't work in wine or can't work in wine [02:14] Ruler: some viruses yes... but not likey [02:14] ewsubach, worked? welcome [02:14] AndyB: sorry I had to shoot off, acpi=off didn't work? [02:14] jamesas8: hmm it says not devices are detected. What does lspci | grep -i vga show? [02:14] lstarnes: thanks [02:15] kad_: yes. never knew it had an edit in place option...never had to do it before [02:15] MK13: WHAT [02:15] ruler: it does not emulate the full Windows system. it just provides a compatibility layer that allows windows programs run on linux [02:15] ewsubach, sed is great cmd and it's big and important [02:16] Does anyone know of a tool that can show me the differences between 15 text files? [02:16] lstarnes: thans i understood [02:16] ruler: it is very rare to get a virus that will mess up ubuntu from wine, the execution environment is different [02:16] How do I find the md5 of an iso? === sn is now known as Guest85179 [02:17] do what now ziroday? [02:17] Amorstus: I think just "md5sum " will do it [02:17] jamesas8: can you just write out what lscpi | grep -i vga shows please === |Draglor| is now known as Draglor [02:17] vadi2: Would I have to cd to the file or write the path under ? [02:18] so does anyone know how to control a mac desktop from ubuntu? [02:19] um... I usually would recommend realvnc [02:19] sinclairpayne: could install vnc on both. [02:19] Amorstus: that would be so [02:19] vadi2: Which? [02:19] hello, i need to install the package libmysqltcl in ubuntu, how can i ? [02:19] Amorstus: any way works [02:19] Dr_Willis: I've got chicken of the vnc on mac, what do you reccomend for ubuntu? [02:19] After 8.10>9.04 upgrade when calling a GNOME terminal a message appears "When creating the child process for this terminal an error occurred", and it will not accept input. -- How to fix this? [02:19] ive got 9.....whatever the latest release is [02:20] rendero: sudo apt-get install libmysqltcl [02:20] sinclairpayne: 9.04 [02:20] Amorstus, its not in ubuntu i think [02:20] it seems rare [02:20] lstarnes:thanks. it's netbook remix, if that makes a difference [02:20] but i need it [02:20] sinclairpayne: theres vnc clients and servers allreay installed.. or a dozen in th repos to try [02:20] may be i have to open a bug [02:21] rendero: Do you have the repository for it? [02:21] it is not there [02:21] Dr_Willis: so assuming that i have vnc installed on both, what's the exact command that I'd have to type in in my vnc client on my mac? [02:21] rendero: Then I am not 100% sure. Ask someone else that is more experienced in this. :P [02:22] Amorstus, may be in #ubuntu-bugs or #ubuntu-devel [02:22] sinclairpayne: vnc basics... vnc 'serveriporname:portnumber' normally when in doubt check the vncslients docs [02:22] rendero: Im not sure, but you can try [02:23] Dr_Willis: thanks again. do i have to manually open ports in Ubuntu like i do in os x/windows? [02:23] sinclairpayne: local lan? No. [02:24] sinclairpayne: over the wild internet? you will want to ssh tunnle the vnc stuff. [02:24] dr_willis: so basically i type in ipaddress:5900 [02:24] sinclairpayne: try it and see. [02:24] I want to use x11vnc -connect to have an outside computer connect to my listening viewer. The connection is a little slow. What variables do I need to use to dumb down the graphics that VNC is using? [02:25] I tried [vncviewer -listen -LowColourLevel 0] but that didn't help. My guess is it has to be done on the x11vnc side. [02:25] Hello I have a problem with Skype (I'm on Hardy) --> when I try to call I can't, It says: problem with the audio... [02:25] z3ro3x: reduce the # of colors of the display. use a UBER light window manager, and as small as desktop as you can (1024x768) and you May want to check out freenx. :) it may be faster [02:25] Dr_Willis: seems not to be working [02:26] Did anyone lose their sound card driver during this weekend's Jaunty update? [02:26] z3ro3x: x11vnc is special. you may have to set the X display settings.. a hidden vncsession would proberly be faster then x11vnc also. [02:26] Any one else, I should say? [02:26] sinclairpayne: You do have a vnc server setup and running on the linux side? [02:26] bye [02:27] Dr_Willis: i set up remote desktop, if that's what you mean [02:28] sinclairpayne: and this is on a local lan? [02:28] Dr_Willis: it's over the same wireless network, yes === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [02:29] sinclairpayne: check your vncserver docs i guess. and logs.. could be wireless blocking somthing. or some other trivial-missconfig going on [02:29] Dr_Willis: aight, thanks. ill figure it out === nOisnemid is now known as dimensiOn [02:30] Dr_Willis, Normally if I was using the client to connect to the server I can configure the client (depending on the client) to use low colors for slow connections which work great. But in some cases because of inability to get port forwarding done in the case of me helping my brother or sister with their systems, I can send them a small executable shell script they can just double click on to run the proper vnc server commands to [02:30] connect to my properly port forwarded system. The only issue I had was not being able to set the colors I want in this particular setup. [02:32] Dr_Willis, If I ran vncviewer from shell I get GUI with an Options button. I can change it to Verly low (8 colours) and it would work. [02:33] Dr_Willis, I figured vncviewer -listen -LowColourLevel 0 would do the same thing. [02:34] !ubottu | darlek [02:34] darlek, please see my private message [02:34] how can i list file by date created. is there an ls argument [02:34] where would I go to talk about kernel drivers? === J_Litewski1 is now known as J_Litewski [02:35] ImpRadar, ls -laht h or t I think... man ls [02:35] hi all :-D [02:35] ImpRadar, -t sort by mod time [02:37] hello. i'm having trouble with conky covering my desktop icons. how can i make conky information render on the desktop layer?

I only have one other windows machine, so I guess I can pick any one. [02:47] any network topology/structure/monitoring program sugestions that works automatically and grabs uptime and running system, at least, sugestions? [02:48] bastidrazor: http://pastebin.com/m4b06704f [02:48] kwtm: makes it easier if they BOTH use the same workgroup such as 'mshome' [02:48] What filesystem should my USB drive be in order to boot from it?

This is my Dell's Config: http://pastebin.com/me6028fa I can't turn them on again, what can I do?

[02:51] !yahoo | Initial_M [02:51] Initial_M: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps.

[02:58] is anyone an expert / mildly good with the shell for ubuntu ?i need to learn how to add files in lampp with root accsess in the shell, cause i cant manually do it [02:58] !samba [02:58] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[02:58] crawler, try own_window_type dock [02:58] !udev [02:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about udev [02:59] udev - no one seems to know anything about udev. [02:59] Dr_Willis: How do I access, from MS Vista, files on my Jaunty desktop? All the web pages I read seem to assume that people already know how to do it. (Use kwtm_ with the underscore since my old connection with my kwtm nick crashed.) [02:59] is anyone good with linux ? [02:59] for lampp ? [02:59] skullcandy: in this channel? [02:59] hardlty [02:59] that's so relative :p [02:59] skullcandy: Sorry, not familiar with LAMPP. [02:59] IM like Matthew Farrell used in Die Hard 4 movie? [02:59] no, i dont think anyone is gooed with linux in #ubuntu [03:00] lampp/xampp [03:00] kwtm_: youmean via samba/shared directories? you can right click on a folder and share it if you installed the samba packages. [03:00] kwtm_: youmay need to set a samba password for the user. or check the boxs to allow all users access to the share [03:00] ugh... shiki colors used to be easy to install but the PPA stuff seems to be a pain in the buttocks [03:00] Dr_Willis: All the web pages talk about how to let others view my Ubuntu folders, but I think I have that set up already. So... now what? Does it just magically appear on the MS Vista clients? Do the clients have to click "Yes I want to see those files on Jaunty" or something? [03:00] I added the /etc/apt/sources.list stuff but the key crap I can't figure out [03:00] kwtm_: also check ext2ntfs (tool, google) [03:01] kwtm_: right click on a folder.. share it.. [03:01] anyone looked at adding voice and video conferencing to pidgin [03:01] DasEi: What do I need to do on my MS Vista to see the folder? Does it automatically appear if I check my drives? Does it appear as H: drive or what? [03:01] kwtm_: or install ssh on the linux box and use winscp on the windows box. (thts another easy way to get full access to the linux system files) [03:01] typically, the "Ubuntu Way"[tm] is... {Code: do blah} and it works the PPA page I've been less than impressed with. [03:01] bastidrazor: tried dock, the icons are still hidden behind it. all that has changed is now there is a traslucent shadow around the conky window [03:02] darlek thanks alot [03:02] Dr_Willis: I would much prefer to use WinSCP + ssh, but my wife (the one with the MS Vista laptop) would much prefer to browse files (e.g. look at photos) without having to copy the files over first. [03:02] kwtm_: if you want to use ext (ubu-) hd native in windows, you need a tool to install in win, one sec [03:02] i need help moving a file into a protected directory for lampp/xampp if anyone is an expert i need your help. /opt/lampp/htdocs/ is the problem i want to install my site into it. for temporary useage / beta testing. [03:03] crawler, try root [03:03] DasEi: Okay, but suppose it's a FAT32 file or something. I want to know WHAT I DO IN WINDOWS because everyone seems to assume that I already know how to do it. [03:03] kwtm_: then set up a samba share. or use the shared folders feature.. its not too hard to get going [03:03] hi [03:03] kwtm_: or am i missing somthint here.. ya got 2 pcs and want to share files from one to the other? [03:03] Dr_Willis: I know it's not too hard to get going ... on my Ubuntu desktop. What do I do on my windows laptopt? [03:04] bastidrazor: root has the same effect as dock [03:04] connect irc.rizon.net [03:04] crawler, honestly i've tried all the options available and non make it transparent to the desktop icons. i don't know what else to try as that page i posted only has 4 options. [03:04] Dr_Willis: Perhaps I should clarify. Is there anything I need to do on my client (MS Vista) computer in order to view files on my Ubuntu desktop? Or is everything done on the Ubuntu desktop? [03:05] kwtm_: if its all set right.. you use the network neighborthood icon or whatever windows calls it now.. and see the network/machines/shares [03:05] browse to it with \\ [03:05] bastidrazor: maybe conky doesn't support true transparency? you'd think it should/would. anyway, thanks for the help, i'll keep looking [03:05] does canonical run ubuntuforums.org? [03:05] crawler, #conky is a place to ask too.. they seem dead though. [03:05] kwtm_: you need to set up a share on the linux machine first. (and install samba of course) [03:05] hi [03:05] Dr_Willis: Yes, that's what I'm aksing... what is the "network neighborhood icon or whatever windows calls it now"? THAT'S what I want info on. No one seems to know. [03:05] hmmm....good question kwtm_ [03:05] kwtm, you also need to have samba installed on the ubuntu machine [03:05] hi [03:06] Welcome to the chat %s! [03:06] Welcome to the chat %s! [03:06] Br00k3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:06] kwtm, then set up your shares in smb.conf [03:06] kwtm_: you might want to share the 'homes' directories instead of specific folders also [03:06] bastidrazor: i'll try that, thanks again [03:06] kwtm_: the alternative is browsing to the machine with explorer, by typing \\ [03:06] Warp4: I have everything set up okay on the ubuntu machine. Do you know what I need to do on the WIndows machine? [03:06] crawler, read up on that page link. it is very descriptive. good luck [03:06] kwtm_: click on the windows 'network' icon/whatever.... [03:06] Dutchy_: Thank you! Okay, so I will try that on my (wife's) MS Vista. [03:06] kwtm_, is samba running on the ubuntu machine? [03:07] kwtm_: or in any file manager window enter the proper \\servername\sharename address [03:07] hey all [03:07] Warp4: Yes, samba is already running on ubuntu. I don't need help with ubuntu. I need help with MS WIndows. I haven't used it since Win2k came out. [03:07] IM [03:07] kwtm_, be sure the ubuntu machine is also running on the same workgroup/domain that the windows machines are on [03:07] kwtm_: you might want to take the windows side to #windows then. :) [03:07] Dr_Willis: Ah, more information! Great! What is the "sharename"? Also defined in /etc/samba/smb.conf? [03:07] crawler, http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html and also http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html [03:08] Q: Is there a way I can make a user unable to run shutdown or reboot commands? [03:08] kwtm_: its whatever you made it to be. [03:08] There's a #windows IRC channel? [03:08] ltcabral, give them sudo access [03:08] kwtm_: yes there is. [03:08] kwtm_: ##windows [03:08] has anyone else had audio problems with gtkrecordmydesktop ?, by problems i mean a lot of air in the microphone ? :S [03:08] ltcabral, oh [03:08] Dr_Willis: I just did "sudo apt-get install samba", then checked /etc/samba/smb.conf [03:08] kwtm_: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [03:08] skullcandy: no, but I've had other problems... wind in the mic is probably not specific to gtk-recordmydesktop === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [03:08] kwtm_: did you set the workgroups to be the same? thats imporntant for easy ussage [03:09] Oh!! The "shares" just means the name of the directory on the Ubuntu machine? [03:09] What's the name of the gui application that you can use to do dual monitors? [03:09] and is it gnome-specific? or is it plain old gtk? [03:09] mike_lifeguard is there any way to tweak it ? [03:09] kwtm_: you SHARE a directory.. it dosent have to be called the same name.. You could share the VactionPicsDir as 'vpdir' if you wanted [03:09] !xrandr | JohnWittle [03:09] JohnWittle: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [03:09] kwtm_: DONT use spaces in sharenames :) is a good hint. [03:10] skullcandy: prolly... depends what you're using as the sound source - that's what needs tweaking [03:10] !xinerama | JohnWittle [03:10] JohnWittle: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [03:10] i have eh, 75 next tech + headset . [03:10] kwtm_: theres books in html format in the 'samba-doc' package that give loads of info on setting up samba properly === x_ is now known as leguille [03:10] Dr_Willis: Yeah, and I read them all. And they ALL talk about the Linux side of things and nothing about Windows. [03:11] kwtm_: you have not looked at the 'using samba' book then in samba-docs it tells how to configure windows. its rather trivial in windows.. a few clicks.. you see the network.. done... [03:11] Well now I have another problem I'm on Hardy and the flashplugin is the 9, the youtube videos work fine, but I'm on a web page that uses a lot of flash (uses Tokbox for example) and all the time I try to load It the browser crashes (Firefox, Epiphany, Opera...) [03:11] kwtm_: or hit F1 in windows and look for 'accessing shares' [03:12] Xet: I remember how to fix that on Jaunty, dont know if it works for Hardy [03:12] Dr_Willis: I admit it's been a few years (been trying to do this since 2005) but I will go back and look. [03:12] kwtm_: other then making sure your workgroup is the same.. thers not a lot to 'setup' in windows. [03:12] Dr_Willis: I guess I didn't know the keywords. I didn't know "shares" was a noun. [03:12] kwtm_: click my pc, find that network places, or whatever your version calls it. [03:12] leguille: how did you solve It on jaunty? [03:13] kwtm_: run the 'findsmb' command on linux. :) it will show all seen servers [03:13] xet: I uninstalled all alternate version of flash, and installed flash-nonfree [03:13] kwtm_: smbtree will show all servers/shares [03:13] is the ubuntu forum down?i cant open it [03:13] xet: After resetting, it fixed the problem. [03:13] leguille: I didn't install gnash or that kind of stuff [03:13] thyri: yup [03:13] JohnWittle: what graphics card do you have? [03:14] and the weird part is that why It works with Youtube and not with tokbox [03:14] xet: What versions of flash do you have installed on Synaptic? [03:14] When will it be back? [03:14] thyri: when it's ready [03:14] Dr_Willis: Ohh... the server name is not the hostname, but the name of the server according to my DNS server!! Okay, I didn't know that. [03:14] the flashplugin non free (the 9) leguille [03:14] kwtm_: nevernoticed. the server names are the hostnames here.... [03:15] thyri: I can reach forum [03:15] kwtm_: my lan is behind a router. :) === |Draglor| is now known as Draglor [03:16] kwtm_: smb/cifs doesn't use DNS by default it uses WINS... [03:16] Dr_Willis: So's mine, but every time I install a new version of the OS, it gets a new name. Since the DNS is based on MAC addresses, I needed a servername to go with the MAC address even when the hard drive got reformatted and a new version of Linux reinstalled. [03:16] can I add a PPA to my sources.list that is for the previous release of ubuntu? [03:17] !ppa | peepsalot sure.

[03:17] I set my machines hostnames when i install to them.. and they keep them. [03:17] can I upgrade ubuntu server 7.04 -> 9.04 ? [03:18] jillsmitt I really like Eclipse with the CDT but might not be the easiest for beginners [03:18] daleach: you could via 8.04, frsh install always safer bet [03:18] daleach: can i just apt-get it? [03:19] people..if you resursive move a folder that contain symlinks, does those symlink target folders get moved as well? [03:19] jillsmitt no go to www.eclipse.org i think and look or google "eclipse cdt" [03:19] Where is the kernel pseudo-PPA? [03:19] Mal3ko: no you should remove them first, then move, then recreate them [03:19] oh ok [03:20] can someone help me about linux programs for ps3 console [03:20] DasEi : i'd rather do the upgrade but my sudo apt-get update seems to not be updating anything [03:20] daleach: can u give me the best of gtk programming manuals for your taste? [03:20] links [03:20] or something [03:21] nah just google gtk, don't do much with that [03:21] Q: can i remove pidgin? only finch i want in system [03:22] jillsmitt: fire up the package manager.. remove it.. [03:22] jillsmitt sudo apt-get remove [03:22] i think [03:22] shoudl work [03:22] you shoudl read the man for apt-get [03:22] man apt-get [03:22] daleach: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:23] hey all; I was wondering if anyone had any pointers on debugging setting up a tty on a serial connection. I have a box with two serial connections, when I attempt to spawn a tty on there with: agetty -L 9600 ttyS0 vt102 and then connect through minicom on another machine I get no login prompt; I've played around with various baud rates and flow control bits, but nothing seems to be working properly and I'm not where where else to look [03:23] have you tried a null modem? [03:24] You normally need a nullmodem cable or adaptorp to hook 2 serial ports together. [03:24] hey everyone does anyone have any experience setting up syncing with bluetooth and syncml [03:24] I'm connecting from the DB9 port on box A through a null modem cable to a F:F adapter to a serial-to-usb adapter to my desktop [03:24] my cdrom is not mounted, i cant see cd drive folder ?? [03:25] can you talk minicom to minicom? [03:25] !ppa [03:25] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [03:25] hey guys my virualbox doesn't work good is there a bug [03:25] miyako: also besure to enable echo perhaps on the terminal apps. [03:25] how secure are ppas? [03:25] a-dub: I've not tried that, I've just tried connecting minicom to agetty; I will try running minicom on both ends [03:26] Dr_Willis: well, right now minicom is showing "offline" [03:26] somehow in the last week, ssh on my laptop has been replaced by an "improved" version that logs my passwords for me [03:26] miyako: you are using a null-modem serial cable? [03:26] i have strong passwords, and everything firewalled except for ssh, only one user [03:27] so i'm curious if there are any major vulnerabilities, or if perhaps i might have installed from a malicious ppa? [03:28] Dr_Willis: yeah, it's a M->F 9-pin null modem cable connected to a F->F adapter which is pluged into a DB9M/USB adapter [03:28] is there a log file or a way to make xorg create a xorg file ? [03:28] linux recognizes the USB adapter and assigns it ttyUSB0 [03:28] miyako: usb? Hmm.... that may or may not be an issue.. if you use the right port. Ive never tried those. :) [03:29] miyako: im old skool with real serial terminals here. heh [03:29] make it talk minicom to minicom first [03:29] Dr_Willis: it's worked fine for me on other machines, but that was using console redirection in bios [03:29] miyako: sounds good to me then. [03:29] hello everyone, I am testing ubuntu karmic koala y and I have a problem with the grub , and I can't find the menu.list??? [03:29] I used to IRC on serial terminals at 1200 baud. [03:29] someone knows where is it? [03:29] felipe__, #ubuntu+1 for karmic [03:30] felipe__: try the #ubuntu+1 [03:30] felipe__: and it may be using grub2 now [03:30] it's not a massive issue now because I can ssh into the machine [03:30] evening folks [03:31] but when I reboot it, if a script is incorrect and networking doesn't come back up properly, I'd prefer an option other than "drag out the 700 pound CRT monitor from storage and connect it up to fix the issue" [03:31] so ppas are safe? yes or no? [03:31] ok thank you [03:31] a-dub, they are at your own risk [03:31] when I try to mount the dvdrom, it says specify the filesystsme type?? [03:31] DasEi thanks for the article, it seems i'm on an end of life 7.04 [03:31] I suppose its also possible that this specific cable is bad [03:32] miyako: ive seen 15 inch lcd monitors on sale for $90 now. :) [03:32] daleach: yo, safe your files and install jaunty , easiest way [03:32] a-dub: ppas are only safe if you trust their authors. Both to not be malicious and not to lose control of the keys used to sign them. [03:32] miyako: thats less then the cost of a visit to the Chiropractor for your back. :P [03:32] dase [03:33] Dr_Willis: yeah, I was actually thinking earlier of just getting a 14" LCD or something [03:33] so something like, kubuntu-members-kde4 is probably okay [03:33] DasEi , your'e right, my home was on the same directory though i'd have to do a back up it'll be overwritten right? [03:33] So I want to setup a remote system to ssh to my server, create some back files, and copy them down to it's self. I've got ssh logging in using public/private key combos so no need to enter passwords, but I'm unclear the best way to get data "down"... anyone had any experience with this? :) [03:33] * same partition [03:33] a-dub: Where did this ssh log passwords to? Was it an installed package or a slapped on executable? [03:33] my wife got me 3x 19" widescreen monitors for christmas last year for $100 each [03:33] miyako: yea. i was suprised that the little things were so cheap. I think it was a 15" widescreen i saw for under $100. No DVI connection however. :() [03:33] it was a malicious slapped in executable [03:34] daleach: unless it isn't a seperate partiton, it will be overwritten [03:34] it wrote them to "/usr/include/agetty.h" [03:34] : ( [03:34] VolVE: you should use scp or sftp or some such. ssh is just a shell. [03:34] hey, has anyone had any success in getting the ubuntu dvd to work with unetbootin? I keep getting an error message saying that it "can't find root device" [03:34] DasEi, heh yeah I was thinking of deleting the stuff on there anyway I guess heh [03:34] well, this just needs to be a small cheap vga monitor [03:35] I mean, this thing is an appliance, doesn't have X or anything on it, not going to be using it as a desktop [03:35] Surlent777: you may not want to use the dvd iso. i normally use the cd iso. [03:35] if I have another monitor I might run htop on it or something just to get use out of the monitor [03:35] Surlent777: i recall that issue once befor.. but i think myiso file was bad. [03:35] oh? [03:35] DasEi crazy question but is there a way to do it all through a network install from an ssh'd in client :) [03:35] miyako: yep. :) been there - done that. [03:35] i have no monitor attached to it haha [03:35] I should check the md5 [03:35] Surlent777: always a good idea [03:35] thanks [03:35] Jeruvy: so I could create a shell script that was like: 1. ssh -e "tar backup.tar " 2. scp user@myserver:/foo/backup.tar /local/foo/ ? hmm [03:36] just power chord and cat 5 hehe [03:36] Jeruvy: I was sort of hoping to do it in 1 go; scp can't issue commands can it? hmm... [03:36] VolVE: or do it all from scp [03:36] I guess I'll have to plug in the monitor heh [03:36] Jeruvy: guess I need to read more about scp... thanks :) [03:37] when I try to mount my cdrom, it says "you must specify the filesysystem type". now what filesystem does the cdrom have, any could help me?? [03:37] volve: look up rsync [03:37] DasEi : thanks for the help buddy [03:38] VolVE: np [03:38] acedip: Usually "iso9660" [03:38] a-dub: I've used it before, but it seemed more -obviously- as a "syncing" tool, whereas I just want to copy down snapshots to a backup server [03:38] is it true unix was around before quick dirty operating system? [03:38] 怎么用？ [03:39] it's way better, it will restart where it left off if it fails midway [03:39] shiyl, /join #ubuntu-cn [03:39] stroyan: but which device is it? [03:39] ibmman, qdos was for PCs ... unix was for mainframes [03:40] mainframes have been around a lot longer than computers smaller than a volvo [03:40] mainframes actually ran crap like os/360 [03:40] what operating system did the fist macintosh use did it use linux did it use qdos did it use mac os? [03:40] os/360 was hardly crap [03:41] jcl looks like somebody ate the top row of my kerboard then threw up [03:41] stroyan: the iso9660 said "rong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so" [03:41] ibmman: The first mac ran "Finder" [03:41] I know, I had one. :D [03:41] ibmman, the first "mac" was the mac classic... which is far from the first Apple computer [03:42] C4colo: exactly [03:43] it takes some kind of arrogance to call a brand new computer model a "classic" [03:43] hey, when I am browsing files on a windows share It does not load thumbnails for pictures, is there any way I can make that happen?

[03:55] I am new to Ubuntu. [03:55] I am moving my SuSE 10.3 server to Ubuntu 9.04... and would like to save my RAID using the md driver... saving the UUID and the disk mappings looks like all I need? [03:55] stroyan: how do I comprehend the output of lshw, it says this about the cdrom http://pastebin.com/m3fbed5d5 [03:56] Err, I should say I am installing Ubuntu fresh to replace SuSE. [03:56] vaughn, there is a ppa for OOo 3.1, also google is your friend :) [03:56] dr_willis it kind of worked just now, but the resolution was horribly off [03:56] myxo: i normally run that nvidia-settings tool as root. and tweak the configs.. then i normally restart the X server. [03:56] Hmm... I can't remotely connect to MySQL on my Jaunty server. [03:56] cabrey: what do you mean by Google is my friend? [03:56] !ppa | vaughn [03:56] vaughn: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [03:56] Openoffice is in Ubuntu by deault i thought. [03:57] he wants the very newest [03:57] too bad. :P [03:57] Dr_Willis: it is in the Desktop Version by default :) [03:57] I wonder whats new? actually the OO in ubuntu is now what? 3 mo old? [03:57] vaughn, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-OpenOffice-org-3-1-on-Ubuntu-9-04-111105.shtml [03:57] vaughn, i got that from google, that is what i mean :) [03:58] Welp, I guess I will repeat 1 more time; anyone have a package or something to show temp and other stats on a web page? [03:58] what is the best cd/dvd burner of ubuntu? [03:58] Um_cara_qualquer: depends on your needs... theres sevarl apps that burn .iso files nicely [03:58] acedip: It certainly looks like /dev/sr0 should work for that sony dvd drive. Perhaps you should be suspicious of the disc that you put into it. [03:58] burn_, try the ubuntu server channel, they will probably know more about that stuff [03:58] Um_cara_qualquer: can't speak to the best, but I've had fine success with the default: Brasero [03:58] Um_cara_qualquer, best is an opinion; gnomebaker is not bad though [03:58] stroyan: the dvd is fine [03:59] humm [03:59] i just want burn a dvd movie [03:59] cabrey: are you suggesting to me? [03:59] Um_cara_qualquer: clarify what you mean. [03:59] brasero is kinda slow [03:59] hey guys I want to install bitchx on Ubuntu but can't seem to find it anywhere [03:59] Um_cara_qualquer: if you mean 'convert an avi to dvd.iso format' thats one thing.. burning a .iso file is another thing. [03:59] Um_cara_qualquer, avi to dvd? try devede [03:59] i want watch a movie on TV tonight [03:59] ok [03:59] Clackamas, what? [04:00] sudo apt-get install devede ? [04:00] cabrey: There's a ubuntu server channel??? [04:00] !info devede [04:00] traemccombs, that is a console app [04:00] devede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.12c-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 1516 kB, installed size 3456 kB [04:00] \hey yo guyyyyys [04:00] Hi [04:00] Kira, #ubuntu-server [04:00] Um_cara_qualquer, yes [04:00] cabrey for all server issues? ^ [04:00] acedip: A dvd is likely to be "udf" filesystem. A cd is more likely to be "iso9660". You said before that you had a "cdrom". [04:00] Hasbro, for everything ubuntu server [04:00] hello rndom eope i nt no [04:00] cabrey: aye. heh apt-cache search bitchx doesn't return anything even with universe and multiverse in [04:01] cabrey, thanks bud. [04:01] cabrey: want to use it as IRC on my blackberry via ssh :) [04:01] i thought BitchX got removed from the repos [04:01] how r guys [04:01] irssi is very handy [04:01] stroyan: err..its a dvd rom and i'm inserting a dvd [04:01] in which repository can I find sqlite3? [04:01] traemccombs, i just searched for it and it came up as pork O_o [04:01] !find sqlite [04:01] Found: bacula-director-sqlite3, bacula-sd-sqlite3, libdbd-sqlite3-perl, libmono-sqlite1.0-cil, libmono-sqlite2.0-cil (and 87 others) [04:02] Dr_Willis: hmmm irssi won't let you join a channel from command line ie. $ircprogram -c #foo -n $nick -s irc.foo.com [04:02] wow. 87 others. :) [04:02] cabrey: same here [04:02] traemccombs, it's not in any of the ubuntu repos then. you could compile it and use checkinstall to install it tho [04:02] How do I use Jaunty read what internal parts are in my machine? === c is now known as Guest22600 [04:02] traemccombs, or even submit it as a package [04:02] traemccombs: cant ssay that i ever noticed. I tend to use znc to keep me in channels [04:02] leguille: lspci or hwinfo [04:02] cabrey: lol I make things pretty (with graphics.... a wee bit out of my hand) [04:02] leguille, lshw for listing all hardware [04:03] Dr_Willis: znc is console? [04:03] traemccombs, i might be able to compile it for you... [04:03] Okay, and how do I download drivers and install them? Synaptic? [04:03] cabrey: let me try this znc that Dr_Willis speaks of [04:03] hi fellas [04:03] traemccombs: znc is a irc proxy/tool that keeps me always logged into irc. i can connect from a dozen difffent machines/clients and only appear here once. :) [04:03] oh [04:03] I failed [04:03] heh [04:03] traemccombs: with znc you will want the znc extras also for freenode. [04:04] nobody says hello =( ? [04:04] hello, Pate [04:04] hi hodapp [04:04] sigh... irssi is a bit too cryptic on joining channels from command line [04:04] You could proberly set up irssi to connect to a channel via command line with some scripting.. but i dont have the need for that. [04:04] yeah [04:04] when in doubt check the irssi docs/homepage i guess [04:04] Dr_Willis: cabreythanks guys for your time === c is now known as Guest39470 [04:05] sad irssi is the only viable "color console" irc choice these days [04:05] traemccombs, erm on the freshmeat site, it says bitchx hasn't been updated in _quite_ some time [04:05] at least in the past there was BitchX and some others [04:05] epic <- meh [04:05] cabrey: yeah... [04:05] traemccombs: there is also weechat [04:05] hmmm [04:06] lstarnes: hmm lemme look! [04:06] stroyan: well with udf mount option too, its giving the same error of wrong filesystem type [04:06] traemccombs, there might be a native blackberry app [04:06] cabrey: no... jmirc sucks [04:06] heh [04:06] traemccombs, get a g1 or iphone :P [04:06] * cabrey hides [04:06] lol [04:06] cabrey: talk to my boss ;) [04:06] i used sirc ages ago. [04:07] acedip: At this point I would test with another disc. And check the first one for scratches and smudges. [04:07] stroyan: well I've tested it with another disk too [04:08] acedip: with another dvd using udf filesystem? [04:08] stroyan: yes [04:09] lstarnes: that looks nice... just gotta get to join channel / server from command line === she is now known as chubiiegirl [04:10] Hey everyone. I burnt ubuntu to a disc and tried installing it on my laptop. The menu comes up and when i tell it to install; nothing happens the screen just goes blank. I thought maybe it was just taking a long time but an hour went and nothing happened. I thought maybe it was a fault with the disc so i burnt another disc but on my PC; same problem. What's wrong? [04:10] stroyan: well i tried with a few dvds, while I dint have problem mounting a cd [04:10] [irc[6][s]://[nickname[:password]@]irc.example.org[:port][/channel][,channel[...]] [04:10] god i am beating my head against the wall and it is something so simple [04:10] I amtrying to write a shell script to send an email [04:10] SchmittyDoesIt: thats the way it alwyays is. :) [04:11] try a different wall :) [04:11] heres a nice brick wall!@ [04:11] mail -s "heres the email" guy@domain.com [04:11] awkword: did you run 'check this disk' first? Or verify the .iso md5 before burning? [04:11] but then the script still wants the body and to end it with the '.' [04:11] how do I pass more input to the mail command with the shell script [04:12] SchmittyDoesIt: mail -s $(some command that makes the mail) bgates@msn.com [04:12] hi [04:12] checked the disc and it just freezes. every one i do just freezes. i tried downloading the iso again incase there was a problem downloading and it just keeps happening. [04:12] SchmittyDoesIt: is one way :) [04:12] cat file | mail bgates@msn.com (perhaps?) [04:13] what would "$(some command that makes the mail)" be? === TheQ_ is now known as TheQ [04:13] awkword: did you compare the file hash of the iso against the image and also tried installer option to verify medium ? [04:13] SchmittyDoesIt: whatever command you can come up to generate the proper email body. cat/print/echo. [04:13] hey folks, I have ubuntu netbook remix installed on my dell mini and all of a suddon when I boot, I just get the gnome wallpaper and nothing else [04:13] i need audio drivers [04:13] SchmittyDoesIt: but quotes in the output may confuse things. [04:13] !md5sum | awkword [04:13] awkword: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [04:14] I tried using the xfix to re-write the graphics config file, didn't help [04:14] I can still drop to console, but nothing shows up in the gui, just the wallpaper [04:14] stroyan: is there a problem with the dvdrom, might it read a cd but not a dvd properly? [04:14] I'll go try that now; thank you [04:14] acedip: I am running low on suggestions. If you have a lot of hard disk space you could try copying the raw image to a file. It may produce something you could loop mount. It would probably produce some interesting errors. ;-) [04:14] Dr_Willis: In general, how do I put input in a shell script that a command with ask for though? [04:14] !seen funman [04:14] I have no seen command [04:15] Phusion: What do you mean, "just the wallpaper"? [04:15] Dr_Willis: like the mail command specifying the subject in the command still wants the body and the end of the email before sending [04:15] usr13, no icons, no toolbar, just background [04:15] hello. could someone help me get full resolution in ubuntu 9.04? [04:15] Phusion: What do you mean, "just the wallpaper"? Are you seeing the Desktop background? [04:15] lstarnes++ [04:16] stroyan: but how to copy something from the dvd if its not mounted?

[04:30] wolf23, if you are talking about a chat the runs on adobe flash, that is multi-platfrom [04:30] usr13, ok I'll give that a try [04:30] wolf23, such as mibbit?

[04:34] cabrey, thank you. For some reason I cannot get a higher resolution than 640x480 [04:34] lorri, have you checked out the xorg documentation? [04:35] Titan8990, bazhang thanx , http://img36.imageshack.us/i/8brs0ic.png/ [04:35] usr13, add that line to rc.local? /usr/bin/gnome-panel ?

[04:53] ...that doesnt tell me WHICH DIRECTORY is using up X space [04:53] and which is using Y [04:54] Hello, I understand their is other support going on. I'm unfamiliar with IRC. I'm having issues with sound. I have a Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic. [04:54] what directory is taking up the most space....what directory is taking up the least? [04:54] Athenon_, run an 'ls -lash' [04:54] ARMENIAN: i think the Nautilus file browser has a limited SMB support, but it is not the main Samba package. Can anyone verify this? [04:54] in my application menu, I dont see any option to run openoffice draw. When I did "sudo aptitude install openoffice.org2-draw" it didnt install anything, so I assume it is already installed. HOw can I run it now?

[04:54] ARMENIAN: I'm not sure [04:55] zopiac: the file manager 'browses' shares and the network. its not using all the samba features of the 'samba server' and does not work the same as if you were mounting samba shares with smbmount [04:55] and i know for a fact thats not true [04:55] I am in ubuntu 8.04 [04:55] lstarnes: dmesg once it has dropped or while i have internet connection [04:55] Dr_Willis: so it is limited support, w/o the main package? [04:55] burkesbythebay: once it has dropped [04:55] zopiac: lstarnes might be right by saying there's only the client, not the server, so you can access but windows computers can't access your files [04:55] zopiac: i dont think the main package adds any more features to the nautilus file manager.. but the main samba pacakge adds more feattures to the whole OS in the 'samba' area. [04:55] when you right click a folder and press share, what protocol does it use for sharing? [04:56] alternatively, i could just resize the partitions, but gparted wont work on my sd card...and i dont know how to resize with fdisk without losing data [04:56] burkesbythebay: there's also /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages [04:56] ARMENIAN: thats using samba. [04:56] Athenon_, du -h [04:56] ARMENIAN: SMB/CIFS [04:56] the process operapluginwrap keeps jumping up to about 80% CPU usage every now and then :( might there be a fix? [04:56] Dr_Willis: hmm, if it's using samba that makes the statement before invalid [04:57] so then you don't need samba for shares? only if you want to share with windows machines? [04:57] ARMENIAN: no its not.. its configurng the main samba 'system' to share the directoryu.. thats different from teh file manager 'browsing' other windows shares. [04:57] Envyng says I have the 180 driver installed, too. I just don't get what the heck is going on. [04:57] time for me to go to slep 6am.. Netherlands time :p Good night yall! [04:57] hey does evolution support google calander? [04:57] what is the syntac to chmod all files in a directory [04:57] usr13, ended up installing ubuntu-desktop since it wasn't there...... then installing nautilis-open-terminal, right clicking and going to open terminal and typing gnome-panel & [04:57] Dr_Willis: hmm, ok, kind of makes sense [04:57] usr13, that did it :/ [04:57] Greetings, I am running Ubuntu 9.04. I've spent about 10 hours trying to get sound to work with a Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic to no avail. I've received some help in learning to work with the terminal from a friend. [04:58] Phusion: Very good. [04:58] n2diy: chmod /path/to/dir/* [04:58] leif23, is the sound up? [04:58] ARMENIAN: i always install the samba service anyway :) and set up the HOME dirs tobe shared by default i rarely mess with the 'share a specific directory' feature of nautilus [04:58] n2diy: i believe :) [04:58] Phusion: Thanks for letting us know. [04:58] can someone help me to findout where my HardDisk has been mounted when using Livecd? [04:58] Yes and the mute is off. [04:58] * Phusion nods [04:58] GreyGhost: try the 'mount' command. [04:58] (as in /dev/sda) etc .. [04:58] zopiac: thanks, time will tell. :) [04:58] GreyGhost, it'll do that so you can access your files [04:58] :) [04:58] Dr_Willis: thanks [04:58] GreyGhost: those are not mountpoints those are device's (sudo fdisk -l) to see device/partitions [04:59] Dr_Willis: yeah, i got it, thanks :) [04:59] I need to hook up two computers one as slave and one as master, I need to access to the files in the slave computer from the master computer is there a section on the ubuntu documents that will tell me the steps for that? [04:59] Dr_Willis: ahh oki .. thnks [04:59] TroN-0074, you mean two hard disks? [04:59] TroN-0074: You are saying "computer" do you mean Hard Disks? [05:00] no actually two computers [05:00] hi world [05:00] glickity, yes the sound is up and the mute is off. I did some googling and I've tried installing a driver but had warnings and errors. [05:00] an equivalent of wamp server for linux?? [05:00] well master and slave do not apply in that situation TroN-0074 [05:00] I have two computers [05:00] TroN-0074: what OS is on the machines? [05:00] TroN-0074: Your terminology is confusing. [05:00] one more thing, would anyone know what might cause my ubuntu distro to startup in low res? It happens randomly like it would startup in low res, before it even logs in, on the login manager, I would see it's low res, use teh button on my computer to restart, and it would start up in normal res, happens randomly [05:00] leif23, is a sound module loaded in the kernel> [05:00] ? [05:00] I have ubuntu8.04 in one and ubuntu 9.04 in the other one [05:00] leif23, google what kernel module should be used with your card [05:01] TroN-0074: But just set them in on the same subnet and connect with corssover cable. [05:01] TroN-0074, so you just need to share files between the two? [05:01] glickity, Sorry, I am not sure what you mean. [05:01] can i ask here simple ANSI C question ? :P i dont find any guy in #c or #programming [05:01] TroN-0074: you can access files remotely in sevral ways. [05:01] leif23, then use lsmod to make sure that that kernel module is being loaded into the kernel === kbrosnan_ is now known as kbrosnan [05:01] TroN-0074: And use scp to transfer files. [05:01] niuby, bullcrackers there are tons of people in ##c [05:01] hey what do u think 'bout planetshift im downloading it [05:01] is a subnet the port where the cable to connect to the internet gets in? [05:01] glickity i dont find people.... [05:02] niuby, you must be in the wrong channel then [05:02] use two ##'s? [05:02] tons of people in the c channel [05:02] hello, world [05:02] yes two #'s [05:02] thanks Dr_Willis [05:02] I would appreciate it if you can send me a link so I can read how that is done [05:02] leif23, use google to see what kernel module should be loaded for your sound card [05:02] thanks [05:03] Does anybody know how to resize partitions nondestructively without using gparted? [05:03] leif23, then use the lsmod command in the terminal to make sure its being loaded [05:03] thanks [05:03] glickity, the only time I saw my soundcard detected is when I use this method: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound [05:03] an equivalent of wamp server for linux?? [05:03] so what the room topic today? [05:03] is only one question... this: im using srand(time(0)); rand()%9 for generate random number (1-9).. but always it generates the same number. (i call srand and rand more than 4 in the same program) [05:03] ok [05:03] glickity, however the sound still didn't work. I've since done a clean install. [05:04] TroN-0074: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.91 #on one pc sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.92 #on the other PC [05:04] . [05:04] leif23, are you sure your sound card is even supported under linux? [05:04] ok [05:05] TroN-0074: And then hook the PCs together with a crossover cable, or into same switch or hub. [05:05] thanks [05:05] niuby, for one thing, that would generate a random number from 0 to 8. [05:05] glickity, my sound blaster released a linux driver two months ago. === JayJay is now known as VirusTB [05:05] usr13, TroN-0074: most modern network cards don't need cross-over cables [05:06] is it part of the kernel leif23 ? [05:06] niuby, and second, are you running srand multiple times, or only once per execution of the program? [05:06] I thought the GB nic;s dont. [05:06] Kazriko, yes 0-8 sry... but how can i fix the problem so ? [05:07] glickity, its here: http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=209&CatName=X-Fi&subCatID=208&subCatName=X-Fi&prodID=14066&prodName=Sound+Blaster+X-Fi+XtremeMusic [05:07] glickity what linux platform are you running ? [05:07] * SeaPhor is away: I'm prolly playing SplinterCell [05:07] join #ubuntu+1 [05:07] hi all, any channels with help for games? [05:09] how do you copy files from a windows share anyway? I'm able to get in and see teh files but when I try to copy it I get, permission denied [05:09] :/quit [05:09] even doing this doesnt work sudo cp smb://pc2/shareddocs/untitled.JPG ~/Desktop/ [05:09] ARMENIAN, be sure you have the correct permissions set on the windows share [05:09] glickity, I am sorry I am inexperienced with Linux. I suspect, but am not sure I understand exactly what you mean by "is it part of the kernel leif23?". Its definitely an issue other users of my card have run into and some seem to have got theirs to work but not by default with Ubuntu. [05:09] ARMENIAN: err.. you DONT use smb://. type syntax on the command line [05:10] an equivalent of wampserver to xubuntu? [05:10] ARMENIAN: use the file manager with that syntax.. or mount the share to a mountpoint [05:10] Dr_Willis: well, there's nowhere else where it's mounted it's not mounted in the media folder, so beats me [05:10] the process operapluginwrap keeps jumping up to about 80% CPU usage every now and then :( might there be a fix? [05:10] ARMENIAN: thatssz because the file manager 'browses' the shares.. it dosent mount them. [05:10] ARMENIAN, or use smb4k to mount the share :) [05:10] leif23, yeah sounds like a crappy card, or at least a crappy vender. I heard that sound blaster doesnt like to play nice with the FOSS community [05:10] ARMENIAN: you can mount them if you want. [05:10] Dr_Willis: the thing is it is mounted [05:10] ARMENIAN, smb4k mounts the share to a dir in your home directory [05:10] ARMENIAN: use the 'mount' command and prove that statment. [05:10] anyone know how to turn ubuntu into a webserver [05:10] messes up my mbr .. lluckily Ubuntu LiveCD works great .. [05:10] rogue, yeah [05:10] glickity, the card is fine. The vendor is not. :) [05:11] rogue, just tasksel [05:11] rogue, then select LAMP Server [05:11] ARMENIAN: if you see it in the file manager with smb:// then its not mounted.. its being browsed [05:11] glickity, as of vista, it doesn't play great with the closed source community either [05:11] anyone know how to turn ubuntu into a webserver? [05:11] rogue, i just told you [05:11] Dr_Willis: well I see it on my desktop, it's not mounted thought i think actually [05:11] :P [05:11] ohh ok no cause I see shareddocs on pc2 on my desktop that's why [05:11] idk why that always comes up [05:12] !apache | rogue [05:12] ARMENIAN: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:12] rogue: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [05:12] glickity, I was disconnected. [05:12] Titan8990, my method works, too :) [05:12] lol [05:12] Warp4: man... that solved.. thanks [05:12] yup [05:12] well, ive gotta take a shower, gonna hit up a party [05:12] ARMENIAN: 2 'different' ways of getting to the files.. browsing.. or mounting. [05:12] THX [05:12] murielgodoi, what solved? [05:12] ARMENIAN: not so long ago.. you dident 'browse' shares like that. you had to mount them. [05:12] glickity, is that a common occurrence? [05:12] Warp4, what was your method? [05:12] adios [05:12] Warp4: yep [05:13] good luck with your card issue leif23 [05:13] Titan8990, run 'tasksel' and select "LAMP server' [05:13] THanks anyway. [05:13] no leif23 there are just a couple of venders that dont give a rats ass about linux [05:13] Warp4, you learn less that way [05:13] SOME ODD REASON I COULDN'T GET APACHE TO WORK ON MY UBUNTU SYSTEM [05:13] Warp4: Now my live boot cd is like my towel.. I wont go travel without it :) [05:13] rogue: it works for a great many people.... [05:13] !doesntwork | rogue [05:13] rogue: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [05:13] heres wat hpnd .. Installed Windows .. Then installed Ubuntu ..boots by GRUB .. bt then i had to reinstall windows .. so i dd'd first 512 from my /dev/sda .. reinstalled windows ..dd'd back the 512 .. now GRUB gives me error 15 .. [05:13] any idea? [05:13] no partitions were changed .. [05:14] murielgodoi, oh that [05:14] murielgodoi, glad to see it worked [05:14] Titan8990, that's true, too [05:14] I COULDN'T GET IT TO INSTALLED [05:14] rogue, some error messages would be helpful [05:14] murielgodoi, yeah, i know :) [05:14] glickity, well if Ubuntu doesn't work with my sound card, why is it my sound cards fault? [05:14] Dr_Willis: so how would I mount it, I mean what command would i use mount then what, I already made teh directory, but since this share is not in my filesystem i don't know how to reference it [05:14] !caps | rogue [05:14] rogue: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [05:15] an equivalent of wampserver to xubuntu? [05:15] ARMENIAN, true an app like SMB4K to mount and unmount shares [05:15] * Dr_Willis wonders what a wampserver even is [05:15] kev2121, ApacheServer.org [05:15] !find smb4k [05:15] Found: smb4k [05:15] give me a second i gotta find the file again... [05:15] smb4k is a kde ap. :) [05:15] Dr_Willis, yeah but it works on my gnome setup [05:15] ARMENIAN: or edit the fstab and mount it that way..or use the smbmount command. [05:16] it just installed the kde libs that it needs [05:16] Warp4: ohh, I'll need smb4k for mounting? [05:16] Warp4, thanks...it contains php and mysql? [05:16] ARMENIAN, not necessarily, you can use it [05:16] rogue: make sure you're using the the apache2 package from the repositories [05:16] ARMENIAN: you dont NEED smb4k for mounting..its just a handy tool. [05:16] kev2121, yeah [05:16] Well, I've spent all day working on just the sound for Ubuntu. It appears Linux doesn't support my sound card. I guess I'll need to buy windows after all. [05:16] example fstab line for mounting a samba share -> [05:16] Warp4, thanks [05:16] lstarnes, careful, don't think he did anything and is trying to get someone else to do it for him [05:16] kev2121, yeah [05:16] #//192.168.1.77/Disk\0402 /media/Juke2 cifs guest,uid=1000 0 0 [05:17] or else install a Hackintosh. [05:17] that mounts my shre with the name of 'disk 2' to the /media/Juke2 dir. [05:17] dfgf [05:17] i have an atom processor. would having more than 2 gig ram make a difference at all? [05:17] Dr_Willis: seems smbmount has to be installed, so if I wanted to mount in fstab how would I reference it? [05:17] Please PLEASE help me fix this annoying issue. Everytime I try and copy to a samba share, I get a popup saying "couldn't change permissions", it copies ok, but I can't do anything until I click the dialog, and it follows me across all desktops. Same issue through Konsole: chmod: changing permissions of `/mnt/webserv02/shop': Permission denied [05:17] ARMENIAN: i just gave and example.. and the samba sutff is documented at 1000's of places on the internets :) and in the samba-doc package [05:17] !samba [05:17] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [05:18] robert__: unlikely that a board with an atom could support more... [05:18] leif23 what kid of machine are you installing it on [05:18] BaudThief: the share is on a windows box ? or linux box? [05:18] C-S-B_, thanks, just wanted to know if 1 more gig would make a difference. it came with 1 and i replaced it with a 2 gig stick === paulcdancer is now known as Nanaki [05:19] alright.. [05:19] BaudThief: Linux, this only started happenning after I installed jaunty on the box trying to access the share [05:19] Oh, its just a cheap Dell Dimension E521. Something I can afford, I know Dell isn't cool and all. [05:19] so im still having trouble getting my video player to work [05:19] *Dr_Willis [05:19] what's it doing? [05:19] ok headed to bed here [05:19] Warp4, but ... why I can't download this with synaptic ?? [05:19] BaudThief: theres some samba smb.conf options to set the default permissions.. ve never seen that sort of an error befor. [05:19] heres wat hpnd .. Installed Windows .. Then installed Ubuntu ..boots by GRUB .. bt then i had to reinstall windows .. so i dd'd first 512 from my /dev/sda .. reinstalled windows ..dd'd back the 512 .. now GRUB gives me error 15 .. [05:19] any idea? [05:19] no partitions were changed .. [05:19] Dr_Willis: ok :P cause mounting a device is easy, but when it's device on network, it's different [05:19] kev2121, because there is no package available for it [05:19] so far ive disabled compiz, that at least let me open the video player. but when i open a file to play it crashes [05:19] ARMENIAN: actually its basicailly teh same. :) [05:20] hookdir, Oh, its just a cheap Dell Dimension E521. Something I can afford, I know Dell isn't cool and all. [05:20] adobe did not respond to my nasty email regarding the poorly ported flash player to Linux [05:20] are there any good programs like netstumbler for linux? [05:20] kev2121, at least no deb package for it [05:20] ARMENIAN: 'device' Mountpoint filesystem options... :) [05:20] Dr_Willis: checking smb.conf now, mind you all the directories/files are owned by me and are all 777! [05:20] a dell isn't bad [05:20] What happens if NFS volume in /etc/fstab fails to mount? [05:20] hookdir, the sound card is Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic. [05:20] ok im outta here for the night [05:20] im a bit new to ubuntu most of my time was spent on slax/backtrack 3/win 32/mac osx/knoppix and auditor [05:20] dells are actually very Linux compatible [05:20] Jomyoot, your machine may lock up for an extended period of time before ignoring the failure [05:20] but today i sold my dell and bought an eee [05:21] but i think i just got it working guys... [05:21] * Warp4 's vostro that he is on now is very ubuntu compatible :) === joschi_ is now known as Joschi [05:21] Warp4, so I have to install in a terminal ?? [05:21] anyone know which directory contains the script(s) that run when a system comes out of hibernation? [05:21] hookdir, Are you their? I've tried installing XFiDrv_Linux_US-1.00.tar.gz but had warnings (no errors I could see) and it didn't work. [05:21] kev2121, and start from a terminal, too [05:22] hi everyone ....anyone using PRISM [05:22] i noticed this eee screen isn't as pretty as the dell was [05:22] kev2121, linux isnt all about point and click. [05:22] kev2121, if that is what you want, then linux may not be for you [05:22] robert__ what eee version/size did u get? [05:22] terminal commands are the 'easiest' way to get stuff done when use with IRC. [05:22] hookdr, Oh, its just a cheap Dell Dimension E521. Something I can afford, I know Dell isn't cool and all. The sound card is Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic. I've tried installing XFiDrv_Linux_US-1.00.tar.gz but had warnings (no errors I could see) and it didn't work. [05:22] hey anyone know a compiler on ubuntu [05:22] ok NOW im outta here [05:22] hi [05:22] hard for us to describe where to click/look. :) [05:22] hey. Is anyone able to connect to yahoo (messenger) ? pidgin seems to need an update, kopete doesnt connect either. [05:23] i didn't see a version number ASrock [05:23] rogue: C or C++? [05:23] rogue, for? [05:23] !yahoo | aahe [05:23] aahe: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. [05:23] can get cheap pci sound cards [05:23] C++ [05:23] aahe: you can add an entry to the /etc/hosts as a work around. [05:23] rogue, g++ [05:23] rogue: g++ is the standard for linux [05:23] ASrock, it has a built in webcam [05:23] Warp4, viruses are not for me [05:23] aahe: in /etc/hosts add --> 66.163.181.170 scs.msg.yahoo.com [05:23] !compile | rogue [05:23] rogue: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [05:23] Warp4, thanks === VirusTB is now known as ya32a [05:23] kev2121, you [05:23] hi Dr_Willis === ya32a is now known as virustb [05:23] im thinking that it has something to do with my graphics card [05:24] rogue: it's only a compiler, not a full IDE, and you should have it if you have build-essentiaol installed [05:24] thx for the site... [05:24] *build-essential [05:24] k [05:24] bazhang, that worked. excelent. thanks [05:24] robert__: 9 inch? [05:24] I have a prob in PRISM [05:24] !dualboot [05:24] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [05:24] the first thing i did when i got the eee home was install ubuntu and then installed array === virustb is now known as thanks [05:24] ASrock, i think [05:24] thanks for you help bguys! [05:24] guys* === thanks is now known as VirusTB [05:25] robert__ u got the atom cpu? === yeehaw is now known as bucky [05:25] yes 9 inch ASrock [05:25] just measured [05:25] Hi all. I created a user jaula that I want to chroot to run wine. I used its wine configuration logging in normaly in Gnome. Now I'm trying chroot /home/jaula /bin/wine .wine/drive_c/OLLYDBG.EXE and I get the error "wine: could not exec the wine loader". The only google results I find point to wine source code. What am I doing wrong? Thank you. [05:25] ASrock, yes atom === wwp06 is now known as ulysses [05:25] ASrock, the array kernel makes a big difference [05:26] oh i got the celeron [05:26] hookdr, My plan was to duel boot the Ubuntu and Windows 7. Then eventually use Ubuntu as my main OS. Do you know where I can find out what is a good sound card for using both OSs? === ulysses is now known as wwp06 [05:26] but im gonna go install backtrack on it now so im out [05:26] gasull: perhaps tell the channel why you are trying this chroot stuff? every time i see someone trying to chroot-jail things.. it seems to be more hassle then it is worth [05:26] i wonder why adobe never responded to my email about the bad flash port to Linux [05:27] robert__: they willbe comming to your house soon.. with a gift... [05:27] i keep getting an abort signal when i run the sudo apt-get install automake command [05:27] exec -o find [05:27] hookdr, However the sound issue is a deal breaker. I use music on my computer 10-16 hours a day. [05:28] i even mentioned the millions of pissed off Linux users and how its messed up because the internet is pretty much video played by adobe [05:28] i mean video is pretty much controlled by adobe on the internet [05:28] robert__: and you expected what sort of response? [05:28] oh well im gonna call it a night... [05:28] bye [05:29] Any readers of linux format in here? [05:29] Dr_Willis, at least an apology, if not "we're on it" [05:29] leif23 / how high tech do you want. 5.1? optical ect? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards [05:29] robert, I end up "Flash Blocking" most videos anyway. [05:29] robert__: when you are the top dog.. you dont roll over to the puppies. :) [05:29] robert__: "video is pretty much controlled by adobe on the internet" pretty much explains why they don't have to write back to you... [05:29] Dr_Willis, surely part of their concern would be the millions of Linux users [05:30] robert__: Honestly.. i doubt it... [05:30] losher, thats true [05:30] I miss stage6.com [05:30] what was stage6.com? [05:30] Dr_Willis, you don't think millions of users are worth their efforts? [05:30] flash is takingover where realplayer and java dropped the ball. [05:31] hookdr, Well I'm not sure. I am using a Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic and I certainly don't want anything worse than that! [05:31] robert__: they dont think so.. or they would have a better product for us.. [05:31] * GreyGhost tries once more .. [05:31] losher: that's until a few years later when ogg becomes standard [05:31] losher: a video site using divx/xvid codec. with MUCH better quality then flash videos [05:31] thats true [05:31] losher: stage6 was a divx site for sharing videos [05:32] Dr_Willis: thanks, never heard of it... [05:32] youtube isn't even the best video host site, its just the most known because of google [05:32] losher: didn't last long [05:32] what is the syntac to chmod all files in a directory? I tried "sudo chmod newowner /media/disk, but no joy? [05:32] losher: it was the big thing while it was around. [05:32] when google chose flash for youtube that pretty much set the deal [05:32] n2diy, chmod -R [05:32] hookdr, I want to be generally compatible with the latest versions of Ubuntu as well as Windows 7. [05:32] n2diy: you want chown, not chmod [05:32] losher, heh [05:33] Uhh, Youtube was the most known before google bought them... [05:33] n2diy, chown -R [05:33] robert__: wasn't you tube using flash since the beginning? before google bought them? [05:33] robert__, google bought youtube after they chose flash [05:33] n2diy, been up too long :) [05:33] oh sorry [05:33] leif23 - my motto is that if the hardware manufacture has to time to support the opensouce world i have no time 4 them prioritation is a evil out there [05:33] So tell google to start using divx instead. :) [05:33] my mistake [05:33] thanks all [05:33] google is the internet giant, they won't even read my email [05:34] what google should do now when their new web browsers come out is make ogg format the default on youtube, so then intgernet explorer will need to implement it, if not they'll lose people, win, win for google [05:34] robert__: actually i hear they read 'everyones' email. :) [05:34] Dr_Willis: :-) [05:34] hookdr, that makes sense if you are already a part of the community. I am a noob. I already have perfectly adequate hardware. It certainly makes sense to have that mentality when you are already a user and purchasing product. [05:35] Google great at mining your info and selling it back to you [05:35] Dr_Willis, ogg theora would be a better choice [05:35] ;) [05:35] flash is too darn heavy on cpu - murders my laptop battery time [05:36] Murders my netbook's processor... [05:36] flash is mostly cpu heavy when running linux [05:36] java is more efficient than flash, but not as pretty most of the time [05:36] runs better in windows [05:36] but ogg should still be a lot better [05:36] xat chats and justin.tv use flash [05:36] Intel ATOM chips are lousy at flash. :p [05:36] and mostly many times better on linux [05:36] Kazriko, +1 [05:37] nope.. when i was supposed to dd my mbr .. it was supposed to be only the first 512 byytes right? [05:37] If I watch a flash video too long on it, it overheats and crashes. [05:37] i got my eee for 200 because they sold out and i got the floor model [05:37] i didn't know floor models are so much cheaper [05:37] i saved like, 150 [05:37] robert__, ssd or hdd? [05:37] Would anyone know how well ubuntu support software RAID? [05:38] cabrey, i think hdd, not sure [05:38] Any way to replace apache2 with lighttpd w/o breaking all my packages [05:38] or at least see what it'll break? [05:38] cabrey, its ssd [05:38] robert__, thats why it was dirt cheap [05:39] cabrey, whats wrong with ssd? [05:39] uurfufur [05:39] :) [05:39] robert__, nobody wants them, they are extremely small (in capacity) and they are the crapiest on the market of ssds [05:40] Warp4: that nailed it, and 10-4 on being up to late. [05:40] LifeForce4: there was a wiki for that - but not sure how up to date: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid [05:40] no one who's familiar with ual booting windows with windows installed over ubuntu? [05:40] cabrey, whats the difference? [05:40] robert__, difference between what? [05:40] hdd and ssd [05:40] anybody? === segin|kvirc is now known as segin [05:40] yes [05:40] robert__, solid state disk, hard disk drive, the latter physically spins [05:41] Anyone running Spore on wine in Jaunty.. (#winehq is dead) [05:41] cabrey, i don't know what that means [05:41] robert__, i'm not saying ssds are bad, but the ones the came with netbooks were the worst of its kind [05:41] hey guys [05:41] I had to replace my netbook's SSD because it was so slow... [05:41] robert__, ssd: no moving parts. hdd: moving parts [05:42] Kazriko, thank god i got an hdd model :P [05:42] what interface was the ssd using [05:42] It's nice now though, 32gigs of very fast storage. :) [05:42] i asked the guy at electronic express about getting a $50 refund for not using windows liscense and he didn't know what i was taking about [05:42] Most netbooks use an PATA interface thing. You can get SATA model though. [05:42] robert__, good luck with that [05:43] Kazriko, no mine uses SATA [05:43] does anyone get that 50 back? [05:43] robert__: ask again, and say you'll consider other stores if he doesn't smart up [05:43] Kazriko, it's cheaper now to go with SATA actually [05:43] cabrey, I'm talking about the SSD's though. [05:43] Kazriko, ah ok not sure about them [05:43] they have a PATA controller on the pci express board [05:43] and they're really slow for an ssd [05:43] well, i already got a great mark down deal because it was a floor model because the rest were sold out [05:43] is envy helpful? [05:44] Dr_Willis: Argh! Nothing I do is helping at all. I cant save things onto shares through Kate because of this too. Tried NoSetUIDs, quiet, noperm, changing all permissions to 777, changing owners, adding groups, EVERYTHING [05:44] I'm wondering if this would be better in the #ubuntu-offtopic though. :) === TheFunkbomb__ is now known as TheFunkbomb [05:45] envyg?

[05:52] Wouldn't it be 3.5.x ? [05:52] _CommandeR_, try updating your bios [05:53] ~~HUGS AND KISSES FOR ALL~~ [05:53] <_CommandeR_> mezquitale, But it boots without any problems with HDD/CD or anything else. Sure its tied to my BIOS ? [05:53] hello. is there anyone who can help me set up a wireless adaptor on an Asus A2D? === LifeForce4 is now known as LF4 [05:54] everyone in here is bloody dead [05:54] @all: should I use the ati drivers found on their website ? or should I just stick with the ati/amd proprietary fgrlx driver [05:54] and im bloody hungry [05:54] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[05:55] gerber, do what it says. [05:55] should I use the ati drivers found on their website ? or should I just stick with the ati/amd proprietary fgrlx driver [05:55] _CommandeR_, i suggest you try the USB thumb drive in another computer and see what happens [05:55] E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

[05:59] GreyGhost: show me what "sudo fdisk -l" shows you [05:59] <_CommandeR_> mezquitale, Using the creator from another distro or just using another iso ? [06:00] oenone1, apt is the name of the package manager, synaptic is the graphic front-end [06:00] ... yea I have. But I don't know how to install from source. So I added a source for the 3.5 and it said it was the latest version of firefox-3.5 [06:00] oenone1, check out that link, explains things well [06:00] so everything I need to know about ubuntu is on synaptic? [06:00] bullsnatch! its 3.0.11 [06:00] !compile | x_O [06:00] x_O: Compiling software from source?

[06:04] _CommandeR_, I tried installing ubuntu on a thumb drive once just for kicks and it worked just fine however I wouldnt try it with jaunty, jaunty is still too new, i tried with intrepid and it works like a charm [06:04] WIGGMPk1: Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. [06:04] Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.

[06:07] WTF only flash 10 works in RX2? [06:07] RC2 [06:07] want me to try without mount? [06:07] frack that [06:08] GreyGhost: no, just checking the easy stuff first (force of habit) [06:08] WIGGMPk1 I am going to check that. [06:09] Does anyone know how to get XRDP to work properly with a gnome environment of ubuntu? [06:09] hi, i have just installed 9.04 over an older ubuntu, it boots up but i have no mouse and keyboard, the grab screen shows only 8.04 and old kernels, nothing about 9.04 ... not sure what to do? [06:09] GreyGhost: do you get the Grub loader at all? or does windows boot automatically? [06:09] er grub i mean [06:10] via ssh how do I check the system time? [06:10] Hasbro, date [06:10] thanks [06:11] WIGGMPk1 , yes .. GRUB starts .. [06:11] says GRUB loading [06:11] Error 15 [06:12] i told the installer to overwirte the mbr when it asked grub questions ... [06:12] Anyone know about using Xrdp on gnome, i want to access my htpc via a windows rdp client. [06:12] GreyGhost: can you show me the menu.lst on the /dev/sda6 partition? [06:12] when i installed grub said it recognised ubuntu 8.04 when it scanned for "other oses" [06:12] Hi - I'm running Xubuntu on my Asus EeePC - I would like to install Gnome-Utils - Will this cause any problems because I'm running Xubuntu ? ? [06:13] WIGGMPk1: http://pastebin.com/m7d2e3bc5 [06:13] any ideas howto get it to boot my newly installed 9.04? [06:13] htaccess__, where did you install your newly installed 9.04? [06:13] htaccess__, it's all in /etc/grub/menu.lst I believe [06:14] on a partition on a raid 1 array [06:15] how can i access that? i cant use the mouse or keyboard [06:15] oh sorry its /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:15] htaccess__: I dont think that upgrading from 8.04 -> 9.04 is supported. [06:15] sure it is! [06:15] i did not upgrade i did a fresh install [06:15] only if you go to 8.10 first [06:15] and i was on 8.10 anyways [06:15] sers of Ubuntu 8.10 can upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 by a convenient automated process. Users of older Ubuntu releases need to upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10 first, and then to 9.04. Complete instructions may be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading. [06:16] k, sorry. [06:16] the 8.04 stuff was recognised as an "other os" during the install thos, when grub searched for other os'es [06:16] well as phusion said, you can tell grub what kernel to boot from menu.lst [06:16] anyone, xrdp help? [06:17] GreyGhost: [06:17] GreyGhost: this is a long shot [06:17] how can i tell grub to do that? i can get to the grub menu when booting, can i do it from there? [06:17] which is stable version? intrepid or jaunty ??? [06:18] i have a grub> prompt [06:18] oenone1: hardy 8.04 is LTS.. long term support [06:18] htaccess__, whats the name of the 9.04 install? [06:18] WIGGMPk1: yes? [06:18] which means? [06:18] !lts | oenone1 [06:18] oenone1: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Herron 8.04) [06:18] from grub> you should be able to grub> root (hd0,0) but thats for hard drive 0, partition zero [06:19] oenone1: all releases are stable .. [06:19] I'd imagine you will have md1,1 or something [06:19] rockne: dunno. What i *can* tell you is that I did the equivalent by using an windows vncviewer client and a vncserver on the Ubuntu box [06:19] so jaunty is ok ?? [06:19] GreyGhost: backup your menu.lst first "sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup" [06:19] yep [06:19] thanks [06:19] im doing that now but limited resources on the host make it slow as hell, and really ruin the usefulness of remote connections for me [06:19] oenone1: test with the live cd and see if it plays well with your hardware [06:20] hiya, i have an aspire 4520, and whenever i try to shutdown or get on a tty the screen goes all funny. also at shutdown it wont power off until i press a key [06:20] Can I run KDE applications with GNOME? [06:20] ati and compiz doesn't work well with each other, do they ??? [06:20] violin, yes [06:20] hey WIGGMPk1, I can't see my desktop environment, just a black screen with the mouse pointer, my xorg.conf just has 3 sections, Device, Monitor and Screen. All use this "Configured Video Device" or "Configured Monitor" and "Default Screen". that's it how my xorg.conf looks. [06:21] GreyGhost: http://pastebin.com/d51690bcf use the menu.lst changes I made... and try and boot up linux in it.. ill be in the rooom to hear from ya [06:21] what is kubuntu ? is it another os ? im running ubuntu jaunty now [06:21] Hi all [06:21] Jacksito23: what kind of video card do you have? [06:21] !kubuntu | oenone1 [06:21] Hi all [06:21] oenone1: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [06:21] !kubuntu [06:21] WIGGMPk1: done .. btw ..everything seems to get mounted on media/disk/ so i had to jst use '/media/disk/grub/menu.lst' .. that maybe the problem? [06:21] GreyGhost: copy the bottom part so you dont get the numbers [06:22] GreyGhost: hmm.. not sure.. lets try this new menu.lst first [06:22] oenone1: kubuntu has the kde environment.. standard ubuntu has gnome.. you can run both and switch between them on the login screen.. to install kubuntu open a terminal and "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:22] I am having a problem running KDE applications on GNOME. Sometimes the interface does not refresh. [06:22] oki [06:22] rockne: dunno if NX would be faster for you. I never got it to work myself. Otherwise google for "windows remote desktop linux server" [06:22] Use the "Broken" filter to locate it............how can i do this ? [06:22] is kubuntu safe ? [06:22] will it not crash my desktop [06:22] brb [06:23] oenone1: safe? yes [06:23] Use the "Broken" filter to locate it............how can i do this ? [06:23] gerber, on the left hand side of synaptic, there should be "Broken" === wet-chan is now known as wet [06:23] oenone1: the most stable distro currently is 8.04.2 with gnome. It's perfectly "safe"... === segin|kvirc is now known as segin [06:24] losher: he's asking about running kubuntu alongside gnome [06:24] Phusion: start synaptic, on the left side are some buttons and a list box.. click buttons until you find "broken packages" or similar in the text box.. click that [06:24] so , should I install 8.4.2 rather than 9.04??? [06:24] Hey guys its good to be back, im having some trouble with file-roller and unzip command after installing p7zip-full i have now removed p7zip-full but still having issues [06:24] unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/untitled/bbn.v3.32.zip or [06:24] /home/untitled/bbn.v3.32.zip.zip, and cannot find /home/untitled/bbn.v3.32.zip.ZIP, period. [06:24] Slart, that's nice, but gerber asked the question, not me [06:25] it seems that i have deleted the applet that lets programs minimize to the tray how to i put that back? [06:25] Phusion: ah, my bad.. shouldn't be on IRC in the morning [06:25] Slart, indeed. [06:25] Is there a way to install php5 without triggering apache2? [06:25] I want to use lighttpd [06:26] scunizi: I thought he started by asking which distro is more stable. Intrepid or Jaunty. If stability is really his major concern, the answer is (in my opinion) 8.04.2/gnome [06:26] anyone? [06:26] the zip file does exist tho.. [06:26] WIGGMPk1, my video card is nVidia GeForce 7300, 20 minutes ago I used this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg, but it did't work. [06:26] losher: he did then moved into kubuntu [06:26] i find the pack how can i delite ? [06:26] scunizi: I'm behind :-) [06:26] Jacksito23: did you install the nvidia drivers at all? [06:26] losher, I'd like to tell you that from my experience I've never had Linux die or crash or anything like that for that matter [06:26] garret [06:26] losher: no worries.. I'm barely paying attention myself [06:27] Jacksito23 have u installed the drivers from the nvidia site? [06:27] HELP [06:27] Xerver? === ScottG489 is now known as ScottG [06:27] E: sun-java6-jre: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should [06:28] Hasbro: a sample of one is rarely significant. I'd be thinner if it did. I don't think that changes my opinion that 8.04.2/gnome is the most stable Ubuntu configuration available [06:29] 8.04 is the LTS correct? [06:29] voss: correct [06:30] WIGGMPk1, no I did't, I was working fine but yesterday I did't have sound, so I uninstalled my audio libraries (alsa, etc) but that did't work, so I reinstalled my libraries and after restart I can't see my desktop environment (Ubuntu/gnome). [06:30] should I use kubuntu or ubuntu ? [06:30] anyone on installing php5 without apache2 to use lighttpd? [06:30] jacksito, did you try rolling back to a previous kernel? [06:31] Jacksito23: are you comfortable editing from the terminal? [06:31] yes [06:31] oenone1: if you've never used either before, start with Ubuntu, as that's what most people use... [06:31] yes sometimes I use the terminal, why WIGGMPk1 [06:31] im a first time linux usaer [06:32] hi eveyrone... i need some help please.. i'm trying to burn a .bin to a dvd.. its a movie.. tired a few programs allready no luck.. k3b, gnomebaker.. cpl others.. any advice? [06:32] oenone1, Unless you specifically want KDE you should use plain vanilla ubuntu === kb is now known as Guest70571 [06:32] Jacksito23: when you get the black screen.. hit CLT+ALT+F1, login, and type "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" press down till you see the line for the Configured Video Device or whatever, add the line "Driver "vesa" to it [06:32] !welcome | eLvis [06:32] eLvis: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [06:32] voss What do you mean by rolling back to previous kernel? select it from the grub menu? [06:32] oenone1: Ubuntu is the nice package. and above all it is stable [06:32] oenone1: then I recommend 8.04 plain vanilla ubuntu until you become more experienced. [06:32] Jack yeah [06:32] *cricket* [06:33] ok [06:33] ubuntu rocks.. i tried sabayon ick ick ick.. [06:33] ill downloa an ubuntu 8.04 now [06:33] Jack you can also try current kernal recovery mode and just let it fix broken packages [06:33] Jacksito23: so it looks like this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dbc55a92 [06:33] hey guys [06:34] oenone1: I have 9.04 and it has most things already nicely configured [06:34] so anyone got any suggestions on burning a .bin to dvd ? [06:34] oenone1: perfect. Almost any problem you might run into has been seen before (and solved) by the people on this list... [06:34] voss I tried to fix broken packages, but I don't know how to get my Internet to work in terminal, do you? [06:34] hopefully mine too lol [06:34] jack are you running wireless or wired connection? [06:35] I have a 400 mb avi file and want to reduce the file size to approximately 50mb with minimal quality loss - which format should I choose? [06:35] guest70571 good luck with that one.. [06:35] Guest70571: magic.. with demands like that [06:36] hm [06:36] I tried *.flv and it is quite good [06:36] Guest70571: but fire up avidemux and try reducing quality, keyframes etc.. it will not be pretty though [06:36] Guest70571: that's almost a tenth the size. Hard to keep quality up at those kind of compression rates... [06:36] guest whats the current resolution of the file [06:36] can anyone see me? [06:36] hey all, quick and easy question..........how do I add a specific group to a directory [06:37] FireVai: yes [06:37] ok thanks [06:37] shure I will have some quality loss - but which format does it minimize? [06:37] brandonban6: you can *change* the owner group of a directory.. can't add [06:37] (I completely new to this video stuff) [06:37] so no one knows how to burn a .bin and .que file to a dvd ? [06:37] thanks WIGGMPk1, I will try that, also I can tell you my EE(errors) from my log files. [06:37] FireVai: can't nero do that? [06:38] voss, yeap I'm on wireless [06:38] yeah but i cant afford nero atm [06:38] FireVai: been a while so i don't remember if k3b does [06:38] FireVai: I tried k3b long back and it had worked [06:38] Slart, can you at least give a group permissions to a directory? .... or is doing that by user the only way? [06:38] FireVai: I think almost any burning app can do that [06:38] Guest70571: well first, what resolution (per voss) & codec does the current avi use. Use mplayer to identify it... [06:38] hmm k3b wouldnt do a .bin [06:38] Jacksito23: changing the driver to vesa, should get you a GUI.. from there I would go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and check to see if the nvidia drivers are available for you to install [06:38] voss, but I tried to fix the packages using my ethernet cable but that never worked [06:39] FireVai: you need to place the .bin and .cue file under certain folder [06:39] losher, resolution is 720x576, codec: dvsd [06:39] FireVai: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=218165 [06:39] brandonban6: I guess there has to be a way... I'm not sure how I would do it though.. but there are other systems available too.. selinux and such.. perhaps one of those have acl's or some other method of handling permissions [06:39] thanks keith- [06:39] FireVai: select the cue file, not the bin file [06:39] WIGGMPk1: nope .. now my GRUB Loading is infinitely looping :( [06:40] GreyGhost: well its a start [06:40] FireVai: you could also convert it to an ISO using "bchunk" [06:40] yeah Slart maybe thats what i was doing wrong.. reading that forum atm.. thanks [06:40] Is there a guide to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix INSIDE of a normal installation? I have the netbook remix stuff started but it's all flaky looking and doesn't function very well. [06:40] thanks Slart I'll look into that [06:40] yeah der.. i should have done that lol [06:40] greyghost, did you try and go back to an earlier kernel? [06:40] GreyGhost: it maybe that I just changed it to look at the wrong place [06:40] voss: i neva updated the kernel .. [06:40] << Guest70571: I agree with Slart, see if avidemux will open it... [06:41] losher, it does [06:41] tofaffy, its better to install UNR fresh and clean [06:41] voss: meh :( [06:41] voss: thanks. [06:41] WIGGMPk1, ok, I found this error in my log: "Unable to find a valid framebuffer device", and this one "Screen found but none have a usable configuration".. === jezi22 is now known as Bonez [06:42] Jacksito23: after you changed it to vesa this happened? [06:42] Guest70571: and where do you plan to play this file after its compressed? [06:42] Slart, i'm a moron....all I needed to do was chmod +g /directory d'oh!!! Sorry about the confusion. [06:43] WIGGMPk1, nop I have not used your command yet. [06:43] GreyGhost: wanna try another change? [06:43] losher, normal video player - the problem is: I want to give it a friend via the internet [06:43] i hope linux keeps adding accessability aids for visually impared peeps like me [06:43] losher, 50-100 mb. would be okay [06:43] orca and festival are great aids to me. so is compiz-fusion [06:44] WIGGMPk1: sure :) [06:44] Guest70571: not sure what you mean by 'normal video player'. Will he play it on his PC? === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [06:45] GreyGhost: hope this works.. sorry if I waste your time lol.. http://pastebin.com/d634aec09 use this for your /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:45] WIGGMPk1: thanks .. somethings better than nothing ;) [06:45] Jacksito23: try changing xorg.conf to the vesa driver and that should get you a graphic interface [06:45] losher, sorry, yes, good would be, if he can open it on his pc with windows media player (for example) [06:45] WIGGMPk1, thanks see you later, I am going to try that [06:45] k [06:46] hello!

Can I just reverse that and dd that file to a normal usb attach HDD ? what would I expect to see in partition editor once done ? [07:40] please [07:40] BaudThief, alright - thank you for that :-) [07:40] i want your software [07:41] hipitihop, it will be the same exactly BUT the file will always be 4gb no matter how full the stick is [07:41] hipitihop, it copies empty space [07:41] Webuu: Sorry I meant suggesting it was worth a shot, don't replace it :P [07:41] guys please give me software [07:41] BaudThief: The LG TV supports the following: 640x350, 720x400, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x768, 1360x768, 1366x768 [07:41] Devil1234: have you tried adding: Modes "1024x768" to the device section in your xorg? [07:42] bluedalek: doh, it looks like you may have to do some number crunching and hardcore xorg.conf editing to try modelines [07:42] Titan8990: however I would have expected partion editor to show / ext3 + extended + linux-swap but it only shows ext3 [07:42] why they do not delete garbage software it there is better? [07:43] bluedalek: ***OR*** you could buy a damn dvi to hdmi lead :P [07:43] BaudThief: I've never done that before.. any suggestions as to where I should look for help & pointers on how to do so? :P [07:43] why nobody answers me? [07:43] hipitihop, did you dd the device or a partition? [07:43] are you'll bots? [07:43] Titan8990: and it shows the capacity of the usb attached hdd, i.e. 37gb not the original 4gb from the stick [07:43] algum brasileiro? [07:43] BaudThief: Payday is two weeks away.. lol I don [07:43] t want to wait [07:43] Certh: wats ur question? === franticfantom_ is now known as franticfantom [07:43] is there anybody alive here? [07:43] Titan8990: I thought I dd the device [07:43] bluedalek: would you happen to be in Sydney? as I have a spare :P [07:44] FIREFOX NOT OPEN IN UBUNTU STUDIO 9.04 PLEASE HELP [07:44] Titan8990: but only human so maybe I should try again [07:44] BaudThief: London, Canada [07:44] Which is the command to repair broken packages with dpkg? [07:44] why the worser software not deleted? [07:44] NOT [07:44] Certh: choice [07:44] !caps | felipe__ [07:44] felipe__: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [07:44] i have used another benq monitor when my gdm is start on low details [07:44] Certh: wat do u mean by that?? wats worser sotware? deleted from where? [07:44] can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with ruby? http://pastebin.ca/1468492 [07:44] is it good always? [07:45] hipitihop, you could use something like gnu parted to just copy the partitions to the new drive [07:45] i am brazilian, sorry my english [07:45] Certh: not always [07:45] what command? [07:45] bluedalek: ok, if you have any sedatives take them now :P http://www.arachnoid.com/modelines/ [07:45] !br | felipe_ [07:45] felipe_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [07:45] dpkg [07:45] for example, there are two oberon compilers, with the same name i do not know why the other if there is betyter? [07:46] when i pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf i see is added [07:46] i not navigator [07:46] Titan8990: I asume that is gparted.... I did not know you could do that..... the tagret drive is 38gb btw, and I'm asuming once I copy across I could then use gparted to extend to full 38gb capacity [07:46] any fps games native to linux [07:46] bluedalek: in your manual you should see a maximum refresh for the resolution you want (ie: 1024x768 @ 75Hz), enter those specs in on the site, then copy and paste the computed modeline into the "monitor" section in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, save then startx [07:46] Get following error when trying to write image to thumb drive http://bayimg.com/faBjAAACf - Any ideas? ? [07:46] Certh: no idea what that is .. but must be 2 different versions .. older versions are useful many times .. [07:46] i have a package, but I should delete it after all because nobody wants it [07:47] hipitihop, gparted is a graphical front-end for gnu parted [07:47] no they have different origins. my one is from oxford [07:47] like gcc 4 series intially had tons of bugs .. and that time u used gcc3 for compiling stuff like qemu .. [07:47] hipitihop, and yes, as long as its the last on the disc you should be able to extend [07:47] bluedalek: *sorry I meant SCREEN section [07:47] Certh: these packages are in the ubuntu repos?? [07:47] one in the repo, the other is not [07:47] hi can someone suggest the best way to netwrk 2 ubuntu laptops together? [07:47] BaudThief: Awesome.. reading through the non-sense now.. :) [07:48] Devil1234: aieee is difficult :\ [07:48] Certh: then wheres the problem? the repo is mantained by the community .. [07:48] it is [07:49] bluedalek: best of luck, $10 says you'll give up and buy a cable if it keeps failing lol [07:49] is there a way to network with bluetooth [07:49] off to dinner, bbl [07:49] anyone? gem_original_require [07:49] and nobody needs the other. that's why i should delete my one [07:49] baudThief: I'm a cheap bastard... $10 buys me a 6pack.. ;) [07:50] Certh: u mean .. u have uploaded the non repository one? [07:50] Who's going to come suck this [07:50] backtrack [07:50] Titan8990: when you say last ? if I dd the flash drive device, I thought I would be expecting at least couple of partions, boot + swap etc [07:50] bt if its on a 3rd party site .. who cares .. [07:50] Smis, stop that [07:50] what I do [07:51] no nobody cares [07:51] misha: wifi? [07:51] hipitihop, yep but you won't be able to extend your ext3 if its, say, in the middle [07:52] grey - but im using the wifi for inet - and its not my ap - so i dont want to pump extra traffic thru it [07:52] they have the same name [07:52] just to send files on occasion from one to the other? [07:53] By the way did you know that Getdeb packaged FreeBasic for Ubuntu? [07:53] BaudThief: I just did : sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf and it's empty.. did I do something wrong? lol [07:53] like once theyre bonded to ea. other - w. bt - is there file ransfer? [07:53] Certh, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [07:53] Titan8990: I see.. so on step back....given I am booting from the existing 4gb stick, how would you recommend I migrate that environment to the usb HDD now 38gb [07:53] bluedalek, as of xorg 1.5 it no longer needs a xorg.conf outside of proprietary drivers, all handled by HAL [07:53] bluedalek, X11 [07:54] does anyone know why when volume is at 100% things sound really bad? [07:54] hipitihop, hehe I would just copy, then you can just make the partitions however you want before you copy the files [07:54] hipitihop, or rsync [07:54] bazhang, forgot it needed to be caps.. thanks :) [07:54] or is it possible to use the wifi card siumltaneously for inet thru an AP - and an adhoc ? [07:55] hipitihop, sudo rsync -av / /path/to/new/drive [07:55] hipitihop, then you will just need to install grub [07:56] hipitihop, and edit fstab (which would have been broken regardless) [07:56] Titan8990: you're going too quick for me, sorry to be a newbie pita, know enough to be dangerous ;-) [07:57] hipitihop, np [07:57] Titan8990: when you say copy, you mean copy each partion using gparted ? [07:57] hipitihop, no, just copy the files [07:57] hipitihop, nothing magical about the partition [07:58] * hipitihop thinks he is about to have an aha moment [07:58] BaudThief: Ok.. I've used the calculator, and I'm in the xorg.conf file.. where do I actually put this info IN the file? [07:58] hipitihop, make partitions on new drive and say you have two partitions /dev/sda1 (/boot) and /dev/sda2 (/) [07:58] why mobile phone cannot be connected to Ubuntu, why works well under Windows [07:58] hipitihop, you would mount /dev/sda2: /media/usb and /dev/sda1: /media/usb/boot [07:59] Certh: which phone? [07:59] hipitihop, then: sudo rsync -av / /media/usb [07:59] Samsung, phone of my girl [07:59] hipitihop, then you can use a livecd or chroot to install grub, edit fstab, and MAYBE menu.lst and your ready to go [08:00] Titan8990: I think I follow sort of, just remember I want to copy whatever is on the usb flash, not this machine [08:00] she wanted to connect it to copy photos to my computer. it does not work [08:00] hipitihop, so your wanting to overwrite the machine thats running? [08:00] Certh: linux isn't windows, if it works in windows it's no quarantee it works in linux [08:01] Titan8990: no sorry let me try to clarify... [08:01] hipitihop, you have ubuntu on a 4gb usb drive and want to transfer to something larger with bigger partitions [08:01] hipitihop, no? [08:02] Titan8990: I want to take the usb flash 4gb, currently being booted from by another machine, attach the usb to my machine and copy that environment to a new usb 38gb HDD [08:02] hipitihop, yep, i just explained it [08:02] Titan8990: yes to all above :-) [08:03] the drive icon appears in 'computer' but does not open [08:04] hipitihop, you want to format and mount like this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=4 [08:04] hipitihop, then copy your files like explained [08:04] hipitihop, fix fstab: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=8 [08:04] hipitihop, then fix grub [08:04] !grub | hipitihop [08:05] hipitihop: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [08:06] Titan8990: ok reading those links that should keep me out of your hair for a few minutes ;-) [08:07] can someone who has IPv6 connectivity to the internet paste the output of: "dig @2002:4a41:f74c::1 aaaa leda.r.xdns.eu | grep AAAA | grep :" if anything? it should be one line [08:08] Ganymede: I'll do that if you help me [08:09] "unable to find a valid framebuffer" Xserver problem?

[08:53] TheMASTER: yes? [08:53] im sure someone knows why this is happening [08:53] im here [08:53] hey, sorry so after installation it reboots and once it should show the desktop my imac screen turns off and the power light turns orange [08:53] hello [08:54] can anyone fix it? [08:54] does anyone uses the vlc video recorder? [08:54] i have problems with x11 [08:54] ive installed like 5 times [08:55] ....no help? [08:55] when i login don't show desktop [08:55] could u guide any one how to record voice [08:56] themaster:don't understand your problem [08:56] devil: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [08:56] yes [08:56] Aju: .. Application > Sound & Video > Sound Recorder [08:56] does it work with the vesa driver? [08:56] hey, can someone help assuge my paranoia a bit? I generated a list of all installed packages with aptitude and had it output into a file, and I have the command written down that should use that file to install the listed software...but I'm switching from 32 to 64. All the packages should be ok to transfer, right? ...though I should edit out the kernel images I guess... [08:57] I have updated to the newest kernel 2.6.28-13 using automatic update. [08:57] after installation is done then I reboot my machine, then there are dual boot kernel which are : [08:57] - 2.6.28-11-generic [08:57] - 2.6.28-13-generic [08:57] if I choose 2.6.28-11 there would be no problem but when I choose 2.6.28-13, a problem appears in my NVidia driver which is not supported in kernel 2.6.28-13. I have reinstalling using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.11-pkg1.run from NVidia website but it tells the kernel is not supported [08:57] bob_rock: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:57] but input from wer [08:57] Surlent777: do have the kernel-images a 32bit in their name? [08:57] devil1234: what driver are you using in your xorg.conf? [08:57] toomai_CH: No idea, but better safe than sorry and all that [08:57] nvidia 185.18.14 [08:58] Devil1234? [08:58] for geforce 6600 [08:58] bob_rock: I use an 8600GT and I have no problems with this kernel... [08:58] oh [08:58] Surlent777: well, you are reinstalling anyway, are you? So worst thing that happens is, that you need to install again, right? [08:58] devil:your 6600 works with vesa driver at least right? [08:58] I guess, but that's a royal pain in the ass [08:58] yea [08:58] I use Geforce2 MX400 [08:58] Surlent777: royal? you might just loose like 30 minutes or even less [08:58] my gdm start on low details [08:58] but the packages are named the same right? so I should be able to use my script just fine, right? [08:59] Surlent777: given that everything (partition) is already made up...you just need to tell the installer to do it again [08:59] On a healthy Ubuntu 9.04 computer /dev/pts/ shows 7 entries: -0 through -6. These are missing on a newly upgraded 9.04 computer. Why? [08:59] hold on [08:59] !cheese [08:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about cheese [08:59] !package cheese [08:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about package cheese [08:59] meuh [08:59] Surlent777: they should...there might be some misson, but generaly, if they have no version number, just the name, it sounds fine [08:59] toomai_CH: How does one overwrite a current installation? It doesn't seem to allow that...either wants to co-exist, destroy EVERYTHING, or have me do manual partitioning [09:00] !info cheese | forceflow [09:00] forceflow: cheese (source: cheese): A tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam.

Version 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 2742 kB, installed size 5084 kB [09:00] Surlent777: oh wait...you want to make your current 32bit install a 64bit install? [09:00] kernel 2.6.28-13-generic is the newest one right? but installing driver tells me it's not supported kernel. tell me the way out? [09:00] toomai_CH: Yes [09:00] Surlent777: sorry, that is NOT possible [09:00] is there any program which allows a 3d view of the desktop not compiz [09:00] toomai_CH: Hence the reinstallation [09:00] Surlent777: there is no way around a new install (with 64bit) [09:00] Surlent777: you need to reinstall. [09:00] Hello. I installed Ubuntu recently and the first thing I do was worrying about why I have no valid eth0 connection on nm-applet when I tried Firefox only to relieve myself as seeing that nm-applet is incorrect. How can I resolve this issue? [09:00] I KNOW GUYS THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING =( [09:01] Surlent777: ah, sorry...calm down...I was misuderstanding [09:01] rikki_max: I think that's the most supported option.. any special reason you don't want to use compiz? [09:01] I'm also using kernel 2.6.28-13-generic and NVIDIA version 180 .. no problem so far .. [09:01] if I choose 2.6.28-11 there would be no problem but when I choose 2.6.28-13, a problem appears in my NVidia driver which is not supported in kernel 2.6.28-13. I have reinstalling using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.11-pkg1.run from NVidia website but it tells the kernel is not supported. the wayout please! [09:01] Surlent777: then again, if you know what you are doing...then install a basic 64bit ubuntu with your partioning of choice and then using your script isnt a issue...if you fail, just reinstall that basic install again and try [09:02] I already shurnk my existing ext3 to make a new ext3 to use as backup, and now I intend to go in and kill the original ext3 (make it unallocated) and probably do the same with the original swap, since it wants to make it bigger while cutting in to XP for some reason in my simulations [09:02] Surlent777: do you have nbackports and 3rd party sources? [09:02] compiz does not make the desktop 3d for working in [09:02] bob_rock: 2.6.28-13 ?? what version of ubuntu are you running? [09:02] I had backports turned on, and yes, third party sources. I'll turn them on before doing my script, of course [09:02] Slart : Ubuntu Jaunty [09:03] bob: Please can you install again NVIDIA driver through System > Administration > Hardware Drivers .. [09:03] Surlent777: well, that might not be enough depending on if the 3rd party sources do offer the packages in 64bit or not [09:03] nope greemkernel [09:03] !info linux-image-generic [09:03] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.28.13.17 (jaunty), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB [09:03] Surlent777: then again, they might just pull the 32bit libs [09:03] toomai_CH: that's what I was counting on [09:03] toomai_CH: though I have no idea how to turn those on to begin with =/ [09:03] Surlent777: well, there is now way to say for sure...you just have to try... [09:04] Ubutto: what should i do? [09:04] Surlent777: dont worry...they will be pulled anyway [09:04] toomai_CH: I wish I had an external hard drive so I could feel more free to screw up [09:04] I'm installing NVIDIA driver from System > Administration > Hardware Drivers .. and choosed NVIDIA version 180 .. It worked for me .. no problem .. [09:04] Surlent777: well, you backup your data, dont you? [09:04] toomai_CH: As I said before, on the same hard drive under a separate ext3 partition in this case [09:04] greenkernel : are using the same kernel? [09:05] bob_rock: hmm.. my package mirror must be lagging a bit.. I'm still on 2.6.28-11 [09:05] Surlent777: your XP will not be touched (unless you screw up the partioning of course :))...and the ext3 is lost anyway (as you make it unallocated)...so.... [09:05] Yes .. I'm using 2.6.28-13-generic [09:05] who can help me with my problem? [09:05] Slart : I just Installed this morning [09:05] well, time to reboot and do this crap I guess...nothing more I can really do [09:06] Surlent777: even if you "screw" it...worst thing will be another 64bit basic install and get all the packages manually [09:06] aye [09:06] is mailman broken in jaunty? [09:06] greenkernel : do u use Geforce2 MX400? [09:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1193100 anyone an idea what to do? :) [09:06] it's mostly my personal effects and .wine that bother me; I have all my XP games there [09:06] how do I let users create multiple sub domain from within drupal? [09:06] bob_rock: oh.. hang on.. there it is.. well.. lets see if I survive this [09:06] Surlent777: well, backup your data...and you will be fine...wine is installed easily even manually [09:07] NO .. I'm using NVIDIA GeForce 6200 TurboCache [09:07] On a healthy Ubuntu 9.04 computer /dev/pts/ shows 7 entries: -0 through -6. These are missing on a newly upgraded 9.04 computer. Why? [09:07] toomai_CH: I intend to do a normal install of it and then copy my XP games back there...I use ext2IFS under XP and have all my games there [09:07] Slart : I'll wait your destiny! [09:08] Surlent777: ah, okay....it seems it starts to be more complicated every time you add a detail...;) [09:08] hahahahahaha I know [09:08] Surlent777: well, as I said...no one can say for sure...you have to try [09:08] Surlent777: or not...of course [09:08] greenkernel: we use different card, perhaps my card driver is not supported, what do you thing? [09:08] hi everyone.. i used bchunk to make a .bin into an .iso bit it made 2 iso's [09:08] why did it make 2? [09:08] Surlent777: is there a particular reason you want to go 64bit? [09:08] and try I shall...last time I installed Ubuntu here was the first time...off of a 6.06 CD. I had no idea what I was doing and destroyed my entire XP setup =D [09:08] Hello is there a way to log what files SFTP uservers download/upload ? [09:09] toomai_CH: Mostly because I have one of those nifty 64-bit processors and want to use it to it's full potential [09:09] I think it not bad to use Hardware Driver service .. It'll probably know the best driver for your card .. [09:09] its* [09:09] bob_rock: it installed the nvidia module and virtualbox modules... all good so far.. let's try a reboot.. brb [09:09] there are no data recovery tools for EXT3 right? [09:10] toomai_CH: any immediate issues with 64-bit I should be aware of? [09:10] So how could it be, when I install driver and it tell no supported using the newest kernel? [09:10] Surlent777: ahhh....well, if you ask me (and that is my personal opinion based on information of wikipedia and my own lessons in computer science) you do not need 64bit then, unless you have more than 4GB RAM and want to use that fully [09:10] toomai_CH: I've heard that it is also just faster in general [09:10] Surlent777: but I am sure there are dozens of people who disagree with me right now (with more or less facts) [09:10] anyone use bchunk? [09:10] greenkernel? === gurugeek is now known as REGISTER [09:10] When you're running Hardware Driver service .. It will show you the best driver list for your card .. [09:10] Surlent777: no, it actually isnt...if you are unlucky enough it might even get slower (not that you will notice much of it, but) [09:11] toomai_CH: I notice that the LiveUSB does very well [09:11] toomai_CH: and I have 2GB of RAM, but can support up to 8. Leaves me room to upgrade [09:11] greenkernel : i did it but not succeeded! [09:11] Surlent777: well, then...as I said...my personal opinion...if you want to try it...go ahead...but from the information provided from you and the fact you seem a bit wary about the outcome I would say "dont" [09:11] toomai_CH: though I need to get a 64 Vista or Seven one of these days [09:12] i'm trying to figure out why bchunk made 2 iso's from one .bin file [09:12] Something like NIVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version xxx) [Recommended] [09:12] Then, choose the recommended one .. [09:12] i heard vista is being recalled [09:12] Surlent777: I never used 64bit until I got 8 GB RAM.... [09:12] toomai_CH: I feel the need to reinstall anyway to fix my weird network setup and to make it boot up quicker, and to fix various other issues that are likely due to all the major changes between 6.06 and 9.04 [09:12] toomai_CH: and of course my "experimenting" [09:12] Surlent777: there are still some (few) issues with some software when using 64bit (such as skype and even java plugins, even though the latter should be pretty much fixed in karmic) [09:13] bob_rock: ok, now running the new kernel.. everything seem to work alright [09:13] Greenkernel : besides after updating, there are 2 option boot menu kernel 2.6.28-11 and 2.6.28-13, how could it be? [09:13] toomai_CH: I thought Skype was fixed? But what would it do, and what sort of java issues? [09:13] Surlent777: ah, well....chaing from 6.06 to 9.04 might be just a reason why to experiment...okay [09:13] how could I manually tell a mythvideo movie metadata to look for a certain jpg for it's artwork for Mythtv? [09:13] Slart : Perhaps u use driver VGA? [09:13] Surlent777: I dont think skype is fixed (it is not for me, but then again I might just be too stupid or it may still be alsa related) [09:14] yes .. it's exactly as mine .. [09:14] Surlent777: java itself comes in 64bit...I was talking about the browser plugins [09:14] Slart : I mean differeny VGA [09:14] toomai_CH: Once I fixed pulseaudio and set up Skype to use it, it worked fine for me here [09:14] bob_rock: nope.. nvidia driver 180.44 [09:14] Surlent777: those are still not "stable"...but work pretty well though [09:14] bob_rock: running at 1680x1050 [09:14] Surlent777: ah, pulseaudio...my nemesys [09:14] When I updated from fresh install .. the kernel is automatically updated to 2.6.28-13-generic .. [09:14] toomai_CH: I heard that Flash also had issues...is it okay now? [09:15] Surlent777: oh my...I am stupid...I should stop reading and typing...I meant the flash, not java [09:15] toomai_CH: I found a great guide on it...just google for pulseaudio system equalizer...the topic has that in the name [09:15] haha [09:15] Now, I'm using kernel 2.6.28-13-generic and NVIDIA version 180 .. it's fine for me .. [09:15] (said topic is part of the ubuntu forums) [09:15] also I'll just have to experiment with Flash then I guess [09:15] is it possibel to use only single kernel 2.6.28-11-generic and erase 2.6.28-13-generic [09:15] Surlent777: yes, I followed that one....still cant use skype (I can hear, but no recording, still couldnt figure if it is an 64bit issue or for that matte pulseaudio) [09:16] Hmm I found that I can log sftp but where do I set it and how can I make it log per user ? [09:16] yes, it's possible .. you can manually delete from /boot/grub/menu.list for kernel 2.6.28-13-generic entry .. [09:16] Surlent777: then again, I have a rather new barebone with newer audio hardware...I might just need to wait for alsa 20 [09:16] no recording? Did you remember to check under the the sound applet and make sure that EVERYTHING POSSIBLY RELATED TO IT was turned up, as well as turning on the d20 mic boost? Those two things defeated me for a long time [09:16] But, that will not delete your kernel actually from your hard disk .. [09:17] greenkernel : how about kernel file in drive? [09:17] Surlent777: sorry, I have to rephrase that...it does record...a bunch of loud noice...but not my voice...:) [09:17] haha oh [09:17] bob_rock: In synaptic look for linux-image-xxx and carefully take care of that [09:17] possibly also the linux-image-xxx too [09:17] I think it's nothing to do with it. If you no longer want to use it .. just delete it from your hard drive .. that's all .. [09:18] help do i still need dnsmasq and ipmasq to share my internet connection or will Firestarter do it alone? [09:18] Surlent777: what should i do with linux-image-xxx? [09:18] damn me [09:18] I confused myself [09:18] I mean the linux-kernel and linux-image things [09:18] the ones you don't need should be safe to remove; I've removed ones I don't use that way [09:19] greenkernel: which files should i delete, i'm afraid wrong deletion. [09:19] haha yeah, go back to him. Music in the background here and it gives me bad ADD sometimes [09:19] time to kill the tv [09:19] Sorry if jumping in, but my x-server crashed upon closing neverputt, which messed up X, now I have jibberish on the screen. Am running from live dvd at the moment. Can someone point me in the right direction? Maybe reinstall X somehow? [09:20] bob_rock: dont manually delete anything (that is my advice)...use the normal aptitude/apt-get way to "remove" the files...or actually packages [09:20] I'm not sure to delete linux kernel .. Please ask someone who can provide you more details .. [09:20] hey sorry to be an annoying nub but can some 1 help me? [09:20] Hello, i'm having touble with my home partition. It seems that I can only use half of that partition, how can I fix h [09:20] well, I did provide the details, just in a drunken, crazy manner =/ [09:20] Ok thanks greenkernel. [09:20] bob_rock: how familiar are you with the console? [09:20] It's very important you know what you're doing exactly .. === Guest4753 is now known as benjisal [09:21] tommai : a little bit [09:21] Hello, i'm having touble with my home partition. It seems that I can only use half of that partition, how can I fix this? Is some reserved for the root? [09:21] Anybody familiar with emerald theme manager that can lend me some help?? [09:21] On a healthy Ubuntu 9.04 computer /dev/pts/ shows 7 entries: -0 through -6. These are missing on a newly upgraded 9.04 computer. Why? [09:21] benjisal: what's up? [09:21] I'm trying to make the open close and minimize buttons bigger [09:21] Hi! I need a recommendation on what ERP should I use for Small to Medium business? [09:21] and can't figure it out [09:21] bob_rock: if you make "aptitude search linux-image" you will see all packages with that name in it and you will see which ones are installed (i at the beginning) [09:21] Surlent777: tell me the detail! [09:22] benjisal: Those are just pictures...you need to go to the source images and make them bigger, I think [09:22] You think? [09:22] That sounds like a smart idea [09:22] bob_rock: In Synaptic, look around for linux-kernel-versionnumberhere and remove the obsolete ones...maybe do the same with linux-image-versionnumberhere too...just be REALLY careful not to kill the ones you're using [09:23] Surlent777: ok I'll do it. thanks [09:23] gurugeek: we like openERP [09:23] external hard disk (usb) and permissions for users (ext3): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1193100 if someon might help it is much appreciated [09:24] benjisal: If you do that, you may have to manually re-load the pictures in the theme details...just in case it throws them in a cache somewhere or whatever [09:24] Is there a way to reinstall X from a live cd/dvd? [09:24] I got it [09:24] thanks broski [09:24] jauntyxcrashed: yes, if that CD/DVD is mentioned in the sources.list [09:24] jauntyxcrashed: did you try just resetting the xserver? [09:26] Toomai and Surlent777 I couldn't reset Xserver with ctrl-alt-backspace from the desktop. It crashed x the moment I hit "exit" on neverputt. [09:26] I left, thanks for the help [09:26] ...I think I may have misunderstood the context of the question =/ You broke it under the normal install and rebooting didn't fix it, or you broke it WHILE running the LiveDVD? [09:26] jauntyxcrashed: You need to type "sudo apt-get install dontzap" and then run "dontzap --disable" to get back the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [09:26] jauntyxcrashed: aahh....that ctrl alt backspache is not disabled, you need to enablne it [09:27] jauntyxcrashed: Surlent777 just pointed the correct things... [09:27] can I send parameters nautilus-actions-config from cli ? [09:27] Surlent777, I can't get in. Am running from a live dvd at the moment. If I try to boot, I get no video except for broken lines [09:27] oh === sale_ is now known as sale [09:28] isn't there a command to reconfigure xorg and get a fresh config file? [09:28] jauntyxcrashed: if you reboot and press CTRL-ALT-F1 you should end up at a console, right? [09:28] jauntyxcrashed: pressing after it finished booting of course [09:29] sudo dpkg-reconfigure whatever, right? [09:29] I couldn't get anywhere, no mouse, no keyboard. When I tried the bood console, I got "maintenance" but no password worked [09:29] jauntyxcrashed: oh, that bad? [09:29] christ, remind me to never use whatever program did that to you ever [09:29] Don't use Neverputt or Neverball with Jaunty [09:30] I extended my partition to 1tb with gparted but df still sees it as 500gb. will it help if I reboot? [09:30] noted and logged [09:30] also what are they? [09:30] Kartagis: maybe...try...:) [09:30] Surlent777: Good Quality Games. [09:30] Neverputt is a minigolf game, Neverball is another game [09:31] mobi-sheep: my favorite Linux games are ZDoom and Frozen Bubble...and ADOM [09:31] So am I stuck with doing an whole re-install just to get a working X? [09:32] if even your console is useless, I wouldn't know what else to suggest, myself =/ [09:32] AlanBellonBB: can i modify the frontend UI of openERP? [09:32] i am myself [09:32] oh hi [09:32] hi :) [09:32] hi [09:32] what would you guys recommend as a backup solution in Linux? [09:32] how to upgrade to 9.04 [09:32] lots of coffee and an external hard drive [09:32] i am on 8.04 [09:33] pawan: Should be able to just upgrade via the gnome-update-manager === eth-canarywhrf is now known as eth01 [09:34] pawan: there is no way to upgrade directly from 8.04 to 9.04 [09:34] pawan: that direct way is only possible from LTS to LTS (like 6.06 to 8.04) [09:34] is there a way to get rhythmbox to stop searching for plugins its not going to find every time it loads [09:34] hi all how to place a file in a folder where no ( paste ) in the menu ? [09:34] pawan: you have to upgrade to 8.10 first or, of course, make a clean new install with 9.04 [09:35] hOW CAN i BROWSE HARD DRIVES in xubuntu (It were seen at ubuntu). Xubuntu "do not shows" it [09:35] EgyCoder90: mv /path/to/file /path/to/destination would be the syntax [09:35] how [09:35] !xubuntu | f7ee [09:35] f7ee: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [09:35] right click and select your filemanager? [09:36] f7ee: Join the channel. [09:36] ok [09:37] heh, seems to me that the newest XFCE is an enormous improvement in every way from the older ones...I can actually stand to use it now [09:38] well, toomai_CH, I think I may as well try this...got nothing to lose but everything [09:39] Surlent777: can you say highlighting multiple desktop items :) [09:39] hahaha [09:39] have you tried e16? [09:40] yes. I hate it, because it's ugly and annoying. That one Debian LiveCD that had it custom done though...that was pretty nice [09:40] anyone who knows how i can get my mobile broadband to work with kde? it works out of the box and picks it up using gnome. im using ubuntu 9.04 [09:41] as for alternatives, I like LXDE, Fluxbox, and maybe even UDE/UWE on occasion just for kicks [09:42] AE^^laptop: does the usb dongle mount? [09:43] anyway, thanks for the advice, toomai_CH. Time to try this so I can go to bed [09:43] not sure tbh [09:43] what kinda names do usb dongles get when mounted? [09:43] /dev/sdb [09:43] is there a way to get rhythmbox to stop searching for plugins its not going to find every time it loads [09:43] k [09:44] well that will be an example of it's location [09:44] the actual name is usually the name of the device [09:44] when i do df [09:45] basically, iirc, many of these devices present themselves as storage, and as CDROM drives [09:45] i dont see it under gnome either, but i am using it as of now [09:45] good morning all [09:46] how to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 [09:46] good morning hobel73 [09:47] hallo [09:47] I'm trying to install Ubuntu over a previous Mint Gloria install. Can I do this through the "Specify partitions manually" option? [09:47] I have a 40 GB partition. How to partition it and install Ubuntu? [09:48] it [09:48] hobel73, did you want to dual-boot mint gloria and ubuntu or replace? [09:48] Want to replace Gloria with ubuntu and still dual boot with vista [09:49] ok is windows on a different partition? [09:49] yes [09:49] i meant different disk [09:49] no not on a diff. disk [09:49] ok [09:49] I have a 40 GB partition. How to partition it and install Ubuntu? [09:49] Hello, i'm having touble with my home partition. It seems that I can only use half of that partition, how can I fix h [09:50] if im not mistaken, ubuntu has an option of removing all linux partitions and automatically doing it for you [09:50] otherwise you can do the manual partition [09:50] r3c0n, it would delete my windows partition, no? [09:50] which channels here in IRC i can ask about nessus ( coz #nessus is inactive ) [09:50] (for the use entire disk option) [09:50] ? [09:50] Hello, i'm having touble with my home partition. It seems that I can only use half of that partition, how can I fix this? Is some reserved for the root? [09:50] no removing all "linux" partititions wouldnt remove your windows [09:50] as windows is on an NTFS partition [09:51] let me hope so [09:51] but it would certainlly remove your mint partitions [09:51] yup [09:51] then i'll give that option a try. brb [09:51] EgyCoder09: #remote-exploit [09:52] @ r3c0n, I'll go look to see if I can find the option you mention. brb [09:52] n0gear: thanks :) [09:52] ok [09:52] if not, then try the manual.. i may be mixing that option up with fedora [09:53] what would be the easiest/least likely to fry system way of compiling pidgin 2.5.7? [09:54] does anyone know how to install a driver meant for windows? [09:55] n0gear: #remote-exploit they seems to be sleep .. any other active channels ?? [09:55] how do i execute a wine application from terminal? [09:55] AE^^laptop: just type "wine program.exe" [09:56] ok, thx [09:56] does it support long file names with spaces? like Program\ Files (x86) ? [09:56] slm [09:56] hello [09:56] You have to put the path into quotes ("..") if it contains spaces [09:56] And use \\ instead of \ [09:57] okay, just like dos then? [09:57] ah [09:57] #linux [09:57] So for example wine "c:\\program files\\Bullfrog\\Dungeon Keeper 2\\DKII.exe" [09:58] How do I install compiz plugins? And where do I get them? :P [09:59] ok, so no \ in the dir path itself, like "C:\Program\ Files (x86)\app.exe" ? [09:59] with \\ instead of \ [09:59] type win in console then drop the exe file in the windows and press enter [09:59] AE^^laptop: yes [09:59] wine* [10:00] how do u use compiz in the first place? :p [10:00] Zer0XoL: I think that will yield the UNIX-Path [10:00] does that matter? [10:00] i have run a windows steam installation fine that way [10:00] In wine, it does for some applications because they read the current working directory, and that has to be a windows path [10:01] if its on another drive it wont do that? [10:02] I'm not sure if wine always maps the UNIX path to a windows path, I guess that only works if the path is on a mapped wine drive and otherwise fails [10:02] does microsoft office for instance work under wine? cause it wont work when i double-click the .exe [10:02] you have to rightklick and select open with wine [10:02] I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on 3. partition and i've put bootloader there... how do i make it default bootloader (I also have xp on 1. and vista on 2.) [10:02] its wierd.. :P [10:03] no, i have made exe files open automatically with wine [10:03] laptop:how? [10:03] AE^^laptop: Check http://appdb.winehq.org/ - You can search for applications there and see if they are compatible with wine and see how to install and run them [10:03] cant remember, right clicked and open with or something [10:03] okay [10:04] k, thx a bunch [10:04] * Ubuntu 9.04 drops Internet more info http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1225308 [10:04] Try running the .exe from the command line, that way you get to see the error message [10:05] im having problems importing a .reg file in regedit in wine [10:05] it says: [10:05] Trying to import from a unicode file: this isn't supported yet.

I am playing around with ubuntu server in a vm [10:11] can any1 tell me why jaunty freezes some times? [10:12] actually, one last question here...if I blank the ext3 partition /dev/sda1, making it unallocated, will it rename all the other partitions, making 2 1, 3 2, etc. and if so can this be avoided by making it "unformatted" instead of "unallocated" and will the installer be able to work with that as a "continuous free space"? [10:12] Anyone ever have issues with the screensaver coming on when you're trying to watch a DVD? Aren't these players supposed to have a feature that keeps that from happening? [10:12] sDaniel: sexkbmap works for X keyboard layout obviously [10:12] Surlent777: No, it won't renumber the partitions [10:13] Folko: You are absolutely sure of this? Even though it's unallocated at the time, it won't change the number? [10:13] i have problem with nfs timing out every hour or so [10:13] i have to remount nfs all the time [10:13] how would i deal with this? [10:14] Surlent777: The partition table is stored in the first sector of the harddisk, it's not a dynamic thing. So unless you change the order in the partition table, they won't change [10:14] haio [10:14] Folko: How would one change that if need be? [10:14] there is something strange goin on [10:14] i think there is a system [10:14] Surlent777: Create a new entry in the partition table with the same values as the other entry, then delete the other entry [10:15] collecting evrything [10:15] hi [10:15] i dont understand, i only see Internet Explorer and Common files under .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files [10:15] Then you haven't installed anything in wine yet, AE^^laptop [10:15] AE^^laptop: Are you maybe trying to start something from a mounted Windows partition? [10:15] no, they are installed under windows, i thought that was okay, guess some programs need to be installed under wine explicitly tho [10:15] Folko: I would do that with gparted? [10:16] yes Folko [10:16] Surlent777: Yeah, for example [10:16] configure: error: The intltool scripts were not found. Please install intltool. <--- I take it that means im going to have to find it and install it? [10:16] Anyone ever have issues with the screensaver coming on when you're trying to watch a DVD? Aren't these players supposed to have a feature that keeps that from happening? [10:16] Folko: I think that's what I'm trying to avoid, is changing anything around =/ [10:16] AE^^laptop: I don't think that'll work because wine won't read Windows' registry etc., you have to install the program in wine itself [10:16] yum [10:16] always install programs using wine, don't run them from your windows installation [10:16] okay [10:17] Surlent777: Try using fdisk instead, or cfdisk [10:17] c [10:17] how's performance when say, playing a game under wine? [10:17] depends of the game [10:17] AE^^laptop: Quite fine if your hardware is decent, I was able to play Oblivion in wine [10:17] Folko: What I'm trying to do is get my primary ext3 partition blanked so that I can reinstall Ubuntu [10:17] I get 100-200fps in day of defeat: source [10:17] Mornin' everyone.

[10:18] i saw it had some minor issues [10:18] FeasibilityStudy: depends on the player [10:18] How can I make a shortcut to a folder on my desktop? I can create a launcher, but I want it to have the folder icon... :( [10:18] Folko: My simulation before seemed to indicate that the installer doesn't want to use it when I do that, it only wants unallocated, I think =/ [10:18] AE^^laptop: According to the AppDb, yes [10:18] It's annoying. Unless the window is active, your computer will use the screensaver. [10:19] mm, i saw... just curious about what kinda issues [10:19] Surlent777: Then just start fdisk and delete the partition, it really won't change the other partitions [10:19] aurilliance: Yeah, I am on KDE, but have tried most of the KDE players and its the same problems [10:19] I just got back on Ubuntu, since I had to reinstall it (Had some partition errors.

[11:22] LordMetroid: find -iname pattern [11:22] LordMetroid: grep -R "string" * [11:22] LordMetroid: sorry, string has to match content or filename?

[11:27] rikki_max: setting routes and iptables rules didn't come immediate to me [11:27] Okay, I think I may have accidently done that. [11:27] Uninstall/reinstall Xubuntu, making sure that cannot happen.. I think that's what I did. [11:27] rikki_max: what appears to be the problem? [11:28] Zerachiel: how many partitions do you have on that disk? [11:28] I really don't have a clue.

Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [12:17] Ergo^: Good luck. This is what you're looking for. :) [12:17] (the first option of the partitioner) [12:17] b0r3d: unless you tell it to do so, of course [12:17] !tor [12:17] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [12:17] you may be able to recover some files with tools like ARC Data Recovery Media Tools [12:18] b0r3d: if you use the whole disk, then the data could be written, theoretically, over the whole disk [12:18] u mean tor? [12:18] friendishan: try sudo apt-get install vidalia [12:18] lstarnes, i thought it'd still keep my Windows partition untouched [12:18] mobi-sheep: thats nice :D [12:18] but usually the results are less than satisfying. even if you can recover files the data may be corrupted [12:19] b0r3d: there may have been an option to use remaining free space or manually partition [12:19] in pidgin, how do i add so that only users in my list can pm me?

[12:33] marie_m: there should be a new session in the desktop manager [12:33] b0r3d: Only if you made backup, can you restore your Windows data. You could get a MS Windows install CD and install from that, and then re-install Ubuntu, (MS Windows will only boot from first partition). [12:34] b0r3d, maybe you need to install your windows back. then use any data recovery software to get your data back. finally install linux, and thistime do it carefully...... [12:34] what is the best backup program you can use for Ubuntu?

[13:25] I messed something up in the sudoers file [13:25] >>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 29 <<< [13:25] # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges [13:25] %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [13:25] If you could a CD-ROM, why not trying to boot Ubuntu from a LiveCD which is available at Ubuntu official website .. [13:26] greenkernel: yes, but I wonder: how do i save the OS on the USB flash, oce I¡m running the live-cd ?? [13:27] !usb | LCarroll [13:27] LCarroll: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [13:27] excuse me, I am new in Ubuntu. I have been instructed to perform this operations '$ make' and '# make install'. My question is, what do the signs $ and # mean. (I have 4 so called libraries to install, and I need to perform this commands for all the 4 libraries) [13:28] tse-1: $ is the regular prompt you get as a user [13:28] tse-1: $ and # are the terminal prompts. [13:28] Well, used to be. [13:28] do i need to install any additional software like windows for display improvement [13:28] tse-1: when you're in a root shell you get # instead of $ [13:28] (Now they are tse1@boxname$ and boxname#) [13:28] Does the virtualbox in the repositries have default USB support yet? [13:28] aTr: this is original /etc/sudoers: http://pastebin.com/d24570303 [13:28] wiehan: nope, since it's the OSE version [13:29] wiehan: no [13:29] wiehan: No. It will never have USB support. [13:29] thanks, ubottu, but the problem is mi PC BIOS doesn't suppor booting from the USB. [13:29] aTr: maybe delede the specified line with the error and retype it [13:29] wiehan: I don't think it's a question of versions or so.. it's just a different variant [13:29] tse-1: So you would type "make" as a normal user, then use "sudo -s" to get root privileges, and type "make install". [13:29] Hi ! I am trying toi encode a video with mencoder. I can not figure out how to use the xvid profile option. Can anyone help on it please ? [13:29] aTr: you can delete lines in vim by pressing esc, then dd with the cursor on the respective line [13:29] Ok, then why isn't there a VMware in the repositries? [13:29] grawity: or "sudo make install".. it amounts to the same thing in the end [13:29] wiehan: proprietary app [13:29] zagibu, I guess I found out the problem [13:30] %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [13:30] !vmware [13:30] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [13:30] %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [13:30] hmm [13:30] it's the same [13:30] that line #29 is %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [13:30] thank you. I'll try [13:30] aTr: yeah, but you might have invisible characters in there, that's why i suggested deleting the line and retyping it [13:30] I'm trying to troubleshoot an opengl issue with my laptop and first I need to find out what video I have on here.. when I do an lspcsi it just comes back with some generic reply.. how else can I pull the hardware info? [13:31] eoch: not sure if "lshw" gives any more info.. worth a try [13:31] wiehan: you can get usb support in Vbox by downloading directly from their site. Also #vbox provides good assisance.. I've used vmware server and vbox. my current preference is vbox.. [13:31] Just a question: in the multiverse repos there are closed-source applications with sometimes dodgy licensing, VMware offers free-to-use versions, why isn't that in the ubuntu repositires? [13:32] thanks scunizi [13:32] zagibu, is %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL important? [13:32] why can't ubuntu, like debian, append an architecture info string at the end of its kernel image files? [13:32] wiehan: I don't think they are concerned with price of "free for user" but think more about stuff such as if there is source available, updates and so on [13:32] aTr: yes [13:32] wiehan: free to use doesn't mean free from propriatory bits.. that's also why vbox w/ usb support is not in the repos.. licensing [13:32] now it seems to work [13:33] thanks zagibu and lstarnes [13:33] zagibu: sounds like a policy decision.. not sure why [13:34] Slart: is it changeable? i have to install both 32bit and 64bit version in same /boot partition... [13:34] also I got this problem when installing mysql-server on ubuntu 8.04 lts - /lib/modules/2.6.27.10-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-32/modules.dep file is missing [13:34] zagibu: hope you know what you're doing.. you'll end up duplicating lots of stuff [13:34] zagibu: or it's just the /boot partition? they have separare roots? [13:34] wiehan: between the two, vbox appears more elegant, less "heavy" and I've found it easier to use and upgrade [13:35] Slart: yeah [13:35] brb [13:35] zagibu: hmm not sure if there are names hard coded into something.. have you tried renaming one.. just to see if it works? [13:35] while trying to install mysql I receive this error: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.0_5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1); what does it mean and how do I fix it? :) [13:36] it will work, but the problem is that a kernel update will install a new file without the arch info, and I don't want to manually change after every kernel update [13:37] hello everybodY! is there an easy way to find out the filesystem my wubi-installation runs on? i'm not sure if it's ntfs or fat32... [13:37] which version, that is free, of vbox from their official website does have default USB support? [13:37] guys what're the differences between GNOME 2.2 and GNOME 3.0? I find no difference. I used Jaunty for few days then returned to Intrepid [13:37] wiehan: hang on I'll look [13:37] thank you scunizi [13:37] AcidBurn: proberly lots of little bug fix's and tweaks. [13:38] gnome 3 should have less features [13:38] that's generally how gnome upgrades work, anyway [13:38] Dr_Willis: so no new features?! [13:38] lol [13:38] hehe.. I fear Gnome 12.0 [13:38] hi everybody ) [13:38] is there any way to import the thundirbird mails to evolution ? [13:38] AcidBurn, gnome 3.0 didn't make to Januty [13:38] AcidBurn: i diddnet pay much attention to the changes. proberly are a few new features.. check the gnome homepage for changes perhaps or revews? [13:39] Gnome dosent do 'radical' changes. :) [13:39] wiehan: the easiest way is to list their repo in your system.. then just use synaptic package manager to install.. check this page for the downloadable packages and the repos.http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [13:39] How do you pronounce Gnome? is it Geee-NOM? [13:39] like the yard gnome. :) [13:39] Gnh - nomh [13:39] or nohm [13:40] so it's not Gee-NOM [13:40] no [13:40] Gee [13:40] GNOME (pronounced /ɡəˈnoʊm/)[1 [13:40] whatever the heck those mean [13:40] why do I get -bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory ? [13:40] aTr, because there is "No such file or directory" ? [13:40] aTr: that file might not be marked as an exacutable [13:40] so the G like in game [13:41] aTr: what are you doing when you get that error? [13:41] i run ./hldsupdatetool [13:41] Just say G and start choking.

[14:04] boss_mc: in a fullscreen 3d app in wine you can't do that [14:04] takes the keypresses [14:04] mrynit : reboot and GRUB gives you option for single user (root) mode [14:05] aTr: oh.. that was that idea [14:05] loof: GNOME should steal the keypresses to take you to tty2 before they're passed to wine, then the app has lost focus so doesn't get the later ones... [14:05] Slart, the apt-get sources list might be outdated, or broken [14:06] nathan_: depends.. install and learn the programs that make life easier for what you do. explore options or additions like a lamp server in a virtual machine so you don't muck up your primary system [14:06] hi...

[14:28] if the two versions are on separate paritions, it is _possible_, but /home has settingfs specific to gnome and kde versions that are different in each version [14:28] that's why you can't === marko-_-- is now known as marko-_- [14:28] grawity, I see [14:29] arthur_: scunizi: ^ [14:29] i guess i need to reinstall hardy? how can i remove the hidden files in my home dir.. all the usr settings...ect with out changing my documents n stuff... [14:29] Guest49062, the processor works at full frecquence? [14:29] Has anyone come up with something clever regarding fscks so that you don't end up having to wait half an hour or more when you reboot because there has been x reboots since the last check [14:30] yahoo messenger can't use ? [14:30] !yahoo | gunslinger_ [14:30] gunslinger_: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. [14:30] is it true ? [14:30] adi_ yes [14:30] grawity: question; does irssi need ANY other packages to be installed? i'm having a bitch of a time getting scripts going in xchat =S [14:30] Slart: ext4 has much faster fsck [14:30] oh, i see [14:30] arthur_: well, there is a way. [14:30] arthur_: second please [14:31] loof: irssi just needs Perl (which is usually installed by default). [14:31] kbrooks: arthur_ that is true but not what I was referring to. You can't run 8.04 & 8.10 from the same /home because of differing configs for user installed items. but kde & gnome of version 8.04 will play together nicely [14:31] loof: and, Xchat scripts won't work in irssi. [14:31] scunizi: right, that is what i said [14:31] boss_mc: mm.. I'm just not ready to convert 6TB of ext3/xfs to ext4 quite yet [14:31] i don't care, i just want a system stats script that works =S [14:31] hey live and learn...lol [14:31] boss_mc: not until people can agree on how it should behave when it comes to syncing and such =) [14:32] Guest49062, write in console cat /proc/cpuinfo [14:32] I'm trying to find out more about my built in video so I can troubleshoot some opengl/cairo-dock issues... when I do an lspci I get this back as a result: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) [14:32] Guest49062, u'll see there the working frecq. [14:32] Slart: fair, the ubuntu version of ext4 uses the same synch method that ext3 uses, helping with data integrity [14:32] are there other commands I can run besides lshw? [14:33] eoch: i'll tell you this right now: INTEL VIDEO SUCKS (for docking stations *especially) [14:33] is there a way to get more than 4 partitions on a hard drive? ata drive laptop? [14:33] adi_ ok i will pastebin [14:33] Slart, tune2fs and disable it? altho I doubt you really want that [14:33] loof: it's my built in video on my laptop. [14:33] arthur_: yes.. make the 4 partition an extended partition.. then in that you can add pretty much as many as you want [14:33] eoch: i feel for you =[ [14:33] deany: mm.. that's what I'm doing right now .. and then I try to find some time to unmount the drives one by one, checking them and remounting them... [14:34] ok [14:34] deany: while keeping anything that might need them shut off. [14:34] adi_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/200798/ [14:34] make 2 home partitions in that manner... resolve the conflicks..? [14:34] eoch: i have to support intel video laptops at work, and docking/redocking is a retarded issue with them, even with the latest intel video drivers. intel can't code video drivers worth crap [14:34] hey, any samba experts in here? I'm having some problems with my samba shares. [14:34] hi.what may epxlain that Xorg and Firefox are using all my ressources ? [14:35] iwo: what problem? [14:35] i have two samba shares configured on my NAS [14:35] Guest49062, yes it's working fine [14:35] loof: I didn't get it for gaming, rest of the system is pretty decent. it's a new Dell. The Win 7 side works great, but I almost never boot to that side. [14:35] when i connect to them using my laptop running ubuntu... [14:35] maybe it's because u have a slow connection [14:35] eoch: yeah =/ [14:35] arthur_: when you make an extended partition, to use it you'll have to create at least one partition in (or under) it.. [14:35] iwo: and? [14:35] i can create/delete files and directories, but i don't have read or write access to the files i create [14:36] iwo: did you password protect your shares? [14:36] nope [14:36] if you did you need to pass an option for user/pass to smbmount [14:36] adi_ no, because i even executed sudo apt-get autoclean and it did the same exact thing [14:37] i can read all the existing files, but when i create a file via samba, the permissions end up like: [14:37] my yahoo messenger now work [14:37] -rw-rw---- [14:37] thanks buddies [14:37] and the file owner is root [14:37] !yahoo | gunslinger_ [14:37] gunslinger_: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. [14:37] try mounting it with username/password [14:37] lemme find the options [14:37] i'm attaching to the shares via a line in my fstab... [14:37] Guest49062, try to install kpowersave from synaptic. u'll see in taskbar the prog. click right on it and try dynamic or others [14:38] like this: //192.168.1.103/share /media/share smbfs file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 [14:38] i've upgraded to 9.04 from 8.10 on an Acer Aspire One and am seeing intermittent total wireless dropout, with dmesg reporting that the device is temporarily unavailable. rmmod ath5k ; modprobe ath5k does nothing to remedy it, nor does a reboot. what does work to bring it back is to pm-suspend and the resume [14:38] any ideas why this is? quite odd.. [14:38] synaptic just turns white and hangs [14:38] i suspect it might be down to the smb.conf on my NAS, but i can't see what's wrong there either... [14:38] I use full drive encryption but after installing the latest kernel my system will not boot because it does not ask for my passphrase, how do set it up so I am asked for the passphrase after a kernel update ? I can access my old kernel and it still asks for passphrase but how do I install a new kernel and have the ability to enter passphrase? [14:38] lol [14:39] Guest49062, i don't have ideea what could be [14:39] I woulda thought this would be an automatic process [14:39] u have low memory maybe? [14:39] iwo: read this: http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susesambacifs.html [14:39] is there no shockwave player for linux at all? [14:39] iwo: also, it's mount cifs, not smbmount. my bad [14:39] adi_ 896 MB - its ok - i really suspect it is hardware fault [14:39] anyone else here with 9.04 on the Acer Aspire One? it seems 9.04 has broken support for ath5k at the interrupt level somehow.. [14:40] boss_mc: no, and probably never will be. [14:40] julianoliver: why not, they released a flash player? [14:40] boss_mc: i don't know. i've been using Linux for 10 years as my primary system. it was always promised, never delivered. [14:41] Why cant MY Open Office open an .accdb (acess 2007 database ? ?) [14:41] i think shockwave's finally on the way out, anyway. good riddance i say. [14:41] this is what my smb.conf looks like on the NAS: [14:41] http://pastebin.com/d2d220cd7 [14:41] julianoliver: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [14:41] mobi-sheep: cheers. [14:41] Guest49062, the screen works at normal resolution? [14:41] Hey guys [14:42] boss_mc: shockwave is old/dying, everyone's moving to flash. why do you need to open aam files? [14:42] Why cant MY Open Office open an .accdb (acess 2007 database ? ?) mobi-sheep is there something aditionally i need to install [14:42] Is it possible to boot regular desktop edition ubuntu from a usb or does that only work for unr? [14:42] loof: some things havn't updated to modern technologies (isketch is what prompted this line of investigation but there are others) [14:42] adi_ it is at 1024 x 768 yes - no screen porblem [14:42] iwo: read the page i linked to get your share working properly [14:42] does anybody knows what's apparmor? [14:42] elizabeth: afaik they should both be able to boot from usb [14:43] VirusTB ===> http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Access_2007 [14:43] TnEt1: thanks [14:43] aTr: yes.. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppArmor [14:43] loof, since my smb.conf contains @"everyone" on the write list, shouldn't I be able to use this without supplying logon details? [14:43] Guest49062, try to update the kernel...seems a problem of the kernel to handle the processor [14:44] adi_ lol [14:44] adi_ to update kernel i must use apt - no? [14:44] for some reason, root is the owner of the files i create :\ [14:44] Slart: awesome, thanks! [14:44] Slart, ahh. I see. [14:44] just make update system in adminstration [14:44] it gives me the FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.27.10-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-64/modules.dep: No such file or directory error when installin with apt-get [14:44] !usb | elizabeth, there might be some info here [14:44] elizabeth, there might be some info here: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [14:45] it will take u step by step [14:46] Slart, ubottu: I installed fine on my own netbook, so I know the steps [14:46] But the connection here sucks and I don't want to download something that will turn out not to work [14:46] elizabeth: [14:46] TnEt1: its an .exe i amin ubuntu [14:46] adi_ thanks but that does not sound good. [14:46] tnet1 i am in ubuntu* [14:47] elizabeth: Err. I mean... If you're running UNR, you could switch it to classic desktop mode. I don't know exactly where but it's somewhere there. [14:47] iwo: heh, you have valid users=@"administrators" in your smb.conf [14:47] mobi-sheep: nah, this is for a friends regular hp (bleh) laptop that I am installing a fresh copy on [14:48] sorry, should have mentioned: the share's i'm talking about here are called SHARE and SHARE2 [14:48] for both of these, valid users=@"administrators",@"everyone" [14:49] Slart, I got this error FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.27.10-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-64/modules.dep: No such file or directory when installing something with apt-get (apparmor gives that error) [14:49] Toucanos!

[14:49] aTr: no idea, sorry [14:49] mrmonday also told me that the installation is messed up [14:51] fdsd [14:51] fdgsgfg [14:51] anyone tried setting gitweb on ubuntu === PopCoRN is now known as Guest81539 [14:51] nah, i don't think it's the wrong formatting. it's accepting me as a valid user (and the other two shares, ADMIN 2 and DISK 2 are created by my Linksys hardware, so I think the formatting is correct) [14:51] iwo: try = Administrators Everyone [14:52] iwo: if you're not going to try, you're never going to fix it [14:52] try [14:52] you'll probably have to kill and restart samba [14:52] question [14:52] has anyone tried setting up gitweb on ubuntu [14:53] no, sorry [14:53] are these shares just for personal use? if you aren't concerned about anyone else seeing the data/modifying it (if it's local on the lan or whatever) then just use the cifs method i mentioned since that works and it's FAST to setup [14:53] Hi all [14:53] Does anyone here have any experience getting the wireless card working on a HP 6735s at all please? [14:53] but yeah if you're not gonna try a suggested fix your problem'll kinda not get fixed =/ [14:54] iwo: see here: http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap29sec284.html [14:55] hi all [14:56] loof: thanks, i'll try the cifs method [14:56] i have a problem with ath5k module on "Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)" [14:57] iwo: another indication that your formatting for the line is wrong: http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/manual4/smbconf.html [14:57] that example has valid users = blah [14:57] "ath5k phy0: unsupported jumbo" [14:57] and valid users = blah2 [14:57] on separated lines [14:58] loof, i think these files you're linking are samba2 format [14:58] not samba 3 [14:58] http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-January/077790.html === vc is now known as Guest29127 [15:00] hi hab im hauptmenü den punkt "systemverwaltung" gelöscht ? wie kann ich den wieder herstellen ? ode rmuss ich alle starter manuell wiederherstellen ?

[15:01] AE^^laptop, lol no idea, my bad [15:01] Hello Hello!!! [15:01] quick and easy question [15:02] hello [15:02] I want to add an ubuntu repository to an Ubuntu Based Distro [15:02] AE^^laptop: georgia [15:02] whts ir? [15:02] ah [15:02] Shironeko, not advised [15:02] IR? [15:02] pit: infared? [15:02] pit: ireland? [15:02] should I add the release repo or the release-updates repo? [15:02] I'm going to apt-pinning [15:02] but this programm isn't with IR! [15:02] Shironeko, if your going to break stuff, go all the way [15:03] infrared? [15:03] Slart: does that mean there is a gealic (sp?) channel? [15:03] :) [15:03] yes [15:03] I'm not going to break any stuff [15:03] Shironeko, why not just use Debian's repos? [15:03] because the distro is Ubuntu based, Hardy [15:03] and it even uses Hardy packages [15:04] scunizi: probably is.. gentlemen.. open your text books =) [15:04] Shironeko, we can't advised that here, but knock yourself out. You sound capable? [15:04] I do I do [15:04] at least tell me the difference between the release repo and the update repo [15:05] Shironeko, what does the "ubuntu-based" distro say about adding repos? Is this not a question btter suited to that forum? [15:05] Shironeko, updates are fixes naturally. That is all [15:05] oks, so I should add both then [15:06] it seems the power button on my compaq sr1020nx immediately turns off the comp but in winblows it works fine [15:06] the ubuntu-based-distro forums say that I'll go to Gnu-hell if I do this [15:06] so I better don't ask [15:06] but I need some restricted software [15:06] racecar56: I don't quite understand.. a power button isn't supposed to turn the computer off? [15:06] flash and unrar [15:06] Hi everyone [15:07] i'm having a little mod-rewrite confusion, could someone take a look at my fairly simple rules http://dpaste.com/57900/ the problem i'm having is described there as well. [15:07] hi [15:07] racecar56: or you want it to do a controlled shutdown? [15:07] Slart, you know if you press the power button a menu thingy popped up [15:07] Slart, but it dosen't happen on ther [15:07] I have a Logitech Webcam and I want to know how to adjust brightness on ubuntu 9.04? any easy way to do this? [15:07] Slart, it just boom off like i unplug it [15:08] Slart, what, is acpi unsupported on that type? [15:08] same problem with cifs mode. it's strange - i can read/write any files but when i create my own file, i don't have access to it... [15:08] it's like it's a umask problem [15:08] gabriel: typically it's done with whatever program you're using for your webcam [15:08] racecar56: I thought that was done in the BIOS.. I don't really feel like trying it on my desktop right now and I don't think I've actually had to use my power button for a very long time [15:08] andre_pl: Try #ubuntu-server ? [15:08] racecar56: might be an acpi thing.. did you install using noacpi? [15:09] But on mine it is too dark, but on windows xp looks perfect, its a logitech connect [15:09] Slart, i don't know i had a fresh install of 9.04 and anyway 8.10 dosen't work (it IS an ancient computer) [15:09] iwo: is there a risk of other users changing your files? [15:09] if no, then use %S [15:09] <^MeRrY^> gmn c carax chat [15:09] mobi-sheep: lol, thanks, I was in the wrong channel anyway. :) [15:10] and iwo: are you mounting it to a different mountpoint when mounting with cifs? [15:11] you should [15:11] gabriel: logitec as do other webcams uses propiatory drivers that are not available on linux.. so coders have done their best to reverse engineer a lot of them.. they are not always perfect.. Again.. what ever program you're using to view your webcam should have a method of adjusting the brightness. [15:11] under ubuntu 9.04, what program do i need to activate my laptop function keyboard keys? [15:11] would anyone have any Idea why synaptic package manager is downloading so slow? I should have sustained speeds of 2 megabytes a sec. [15:11] ok thanks === mefached is now known as Guest79214 [15:11] AE^^laptop: It already should work. [15:11] AE^^laptop: At least it did for me. [15:12] sylvanus: you do realize it depends on where the package is, right? [15:12] sylvanus_: synaptic has a feature you have to manually activate to find the faster server for your location.. just becuase you have a great connection does't mean the route to the servers isn't bottlenecking it [15:12] I have Jaunty on a laptop with intel card and Blender is all messed up, is there a problem with the official driver? === mefached_ is now known as Mefached [15:12] sylvanus: if you've added a patch from another repository that repository could be on dialup (likely not, but it COULD) [15:13] sylvanus_: The servers may be slow. Use mirror if you feel like it. [15:13] AE^^laptop, it worked for my nightmare laptop, if it works for that junk you should be able to have it working [15:13] hehe, well, i cant disable my mousepad [15:13] hi there, i ha ve 3 ethernet cards adwise me whats wrong http://paste.org/8512 , can get fully working setup, wish some one hel me :} ? [15:13] would yes but it has never downloaded at only 5 kilobytes/sec [15:13] I have Jaunty on a laptop with intel card and 3D acceleration is all messed up, is there a problem with the official driver? [15:14] !intel | verb_ [15:14] verb_: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [15:14] Windows has always been /dev/hda1 on my system (Ubuntu is on /dev/sda1 on a SATA drive). After my most recent Ubuntu reinstall (9.04), fdisk -l returns Windows as /dev/sdb1, and GRUB won't boot the NT Loader (it gives me an error 13: unsupported executable.) [15:14] What happened? [15:15] graphics drivers are doing wonderfully in jaunty at the moment... [15:15] intel is all messed up [15:15] :S [15:15] Mefached: since hardy even ide drives list as sdxx [15:15] Mefached, winblows blew up :P [15:15] and nvidia has some sweet bugs too [15:15] not to mention ati/amd :p [15:15] using nvidia 180 driver, all QT apps get terrible rendering [15:15] Mefached, ahh i see "since hardy even ide drives list as sdxx" [15:16] samtihen: which 180 driver? [15:16] Mefached, but one thing.... i wonder WHY? [15:16] Why am I getting an Error 13 then? (Windows still mounts fine.) [15:16] nvidia [15:16] um [15:16] scunizi, what was in hardy that did that, that is really retarded [15:16] samtihen: 180.xx [15:16] not sure, sorry [15:16] hello everybody [15:17] I was just using 8.04, and it was /dev/hda1. Off. [15:17] *Odd [15:17] phoenixcomm, hi [15:17] racecar56: the dev did it because of some underlying system enhancement.. [15:17] whatever was installed by default using the restricted driver thing [15:17] *dev's [15:17] I would like to know if there is support for multilple monitors?? I have 4 of them on my XP box. [15:17] Mefached, hm [15:17] samtihen: and what version of ubuntu? [15:17] 9.04 [15:17] I just need GRUB to boot it... My family is flipping out. [15:17] phoenixcomm: yeah ubuntu supports multimonitor :P [15:17] theres a bug out there for it [15:17] i checked [15:17] phoenixcomm - Depends on your hardware... I have nvidia/intel (two systems) and both work fine with multiple monitors. [15:17] latest dl desktop [15:17] Mefached, i wasn't around in the 7.10 days, maybe i should burn a disk of it, jam it in my horror laptop and see if it says IDE :P [15:17] phoenixcomm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhMErNsEoZw [15:18] if you fall back to 173 it fixes it [15:18] Hello. This error: "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" appeared after installing ipmasq [15:18] samtihen: might be 180.5x.. nvidia is now at 185.xx [15:18] phoenixcomm: basically for simple questions like that just search on youtube and you'll have your answer :P :P :P [15:18] hrm [15:18] Hello. This error: "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" appeared after installing ipmasq I can't reinstall or reconfigure it. What should i do? [15:18] maybe worth checking [15:18] I have a question: is it possible to install MySpace IM on Ubuntu 9.04?

[15:35] loof: after reading some pages, it worked. i removed all files with ipmasq at /var/lib/dpkg/info [15:36] gurugeek: awesome =D [15:36] ok, this is really stupid [15:36] i'm still working on getting scripts going in xchat [15:36] does ANYONE use scripts in xchat??? [15:36] loof: Wrong channel? [15:37] loof: #xchat [15:37] no =/ === maveas is now known as Maveas [15:38] /quit [15:38] okay - I'll try another track. Anybody here using Jaunty and IDJC? [15:38] Hi! Is there currently a problem with the ubuntu repositories? I cannot receive the repository indexes. [15:38] tosate, im not having any issues [15:39] nor I - just did an update [15:39] tosate: no problems here. [15:39] tosate, nope .. wat does it say? [15:39] mobi-sheep: see, you were wrong about being in the wrong channel [15:39] http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 403 Forbidden [IP: 141.76.2.130 80] [15:39] at least here some people are awake =S [15:39] loof: No love there? [15:39] newp =[ [15:39] seriously, all i want is a working system stats irc plugin [15:40] hmm .. i was refering to 9.04 .. [15:40] Does anyone know where to find the restricted driver manager in ubuntu 9.04. I'm reading a tutorial, but I can't seem to find mine.. [15:40] it shouldn't require installing everything under the sun [15:40] tosate, maybe de mirror .. or interpid repos.. [15:40] Problem: I just found out that I don't have the /etc/init.d/dnsmasq file. I reinstalled dnsmasq and the file wont show up. ANyone? [15:40] GreyGhost: Maybe the german mirror for interpid? [15:41] predictable: it's the "hardware drivers" option in system->administration from the gnome panel [15:41] i installed compiz and mac4lin... now i want to apply the leopard minimize maximize effect... does anyone know how can i do it??? [15:41] tosate, you'll have to find someone to test .. [15:41] is there any chance of an official update to pidgin 2.5.7? [15:41] i'm indian mirror of 9.04 :P [15:41] *tap* *tap* *tap* is this thing on? I guess nobody's using IDJC - But is any guru willing to help me anyway - I'm not terribly familiar with pulseaudio and jack and I'm trying to get them to both play nice together [15:42] GreyGhost: you can just enter the url into your browser [15:42] loof: I was afraid of that. I thought that. Well why doesn't any support come up for radeon cards? This ubuntu help shows doing the restricted radeon drivers for better 3d support. [15:42] bkraptor_: It'll be updated less than a week. [15:42] I switched the mirror from German server to main [15:42] now it works [15:42] tosate, and i guess u didnt try that ? [15:42] thanks for you help [15:42] !yahoo | bkraptor_ [15:42] bkraptor_: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. [15:42] tosate, and that works too .. [15:42] anyone: ive created a new googlecode account. how do i commit my first file to it? [15:43] GreyGhost: strange... [15:43] mobi-sheep: thanks, I already have the workaround. I just wanted to know when the new version will come through an official repository [15:43] loof: pastebin #3 is what im trying to do.. [15:44] guys.. where is user crontab is saved [15:44] which file ? [15:44] bkraptor_: But you knew it'll be updated eventually and you had to ask? :P [15:45] okay - since nobody is replying to me - does anybody have a suggestion for a channel to go to for Jack/Pulseaudio issues? [15:45] Darck1: This may help you? [15:45] !sound | Darck1 [15:45] Darck1: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [15:45] rubydiamond: I'm not sure where the crontab is saved, but you can edit it with crontab -e [15:46] mobi-sheep: I wanted to know if it would be updated at all. ubuntu doesn't have the best track record of updating to the latest versions [15:46] thomc: I had taken backup of my previous ubuntu files . [15:46] mobi-sheep: take for example openoffice 3.1.0 [15:46] now want to setup crontab on new ubuntu [15:46] hey is there any way to add files to tar.gz or tar.bz2 , as we do with -r (append) with tar [15:46] thanks mobi-sheep but my issues is a little more complex. I have pulseaudio and jack working to the point where I've got my internet radio station working but Jack is streaming everything to my soundcard whether I have the "monitor" on or not - it's some kind of pulse/jack issue that I'm too dumb to resolve [15:46] I don't remember what were my previous crontab settings [15:47] I have an EEE pc 900 Celeron which is affected by the bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/349314 , the solutions posted have limited effect, but it remains unusable in the netbook remix. Would regular jaunty run well? Is anyone familiar with an alternate build that will run well on the 900? ie easypeasy? === dROg is now known as Guest74795 [15:48] Anyone using a USB tv tuner with Ubuntu ? === Guest74795 is now known as dROg [15:48] when i try to access my windows shares, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, i get this : http://pastebin.com/m1bcf6aa7 [15:48] how to convert .mpg or .mod files to .ogv? i tried kino but the video quality is lost [15:48] why does it say "Please select another viewer..."

I think I have it [15:49] just the server name ? [15:49] also: you CAN just download the linux drivers from ati's site and run them [15:50] cabrey: just the server name [15:50] what are the build-dep of pidgin ? [15:50] predictable: the installer has a nice gui interface that works in gnome/ubuntu 9.04 [15:50] Armageddon, check on pidgin site? [15:50] enovativ, and if you open a terminal and try to ping the server using just the name, what happens [15:50] GreyGhost: actually they have the update thingy which i did and it didnt update to the latest version [15:50] predictable : you should backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (VERY important in case something goes wrong). [15:51] Armageddon, hmm .. not available through apt? [15:52] m [15:52] thanks [15:52] nope, bugger [15:52] :-( [15:52] cabrey: didn'try that [15:52] cabrey: i get "unknown host" [15:53] enovativ, thats why then, you have to use the server's fully qualified domain name or its ip address [15:53] cabrey: never mind sir...i figured it out.....sometimes i just need to take my time [15:53] rubydiamond: as far as I can tell crontab -e saves the file to the /tmp directory. I don't think it will have been saved in /home, if that's what you backed up. [15:53] cabrey: thanks for your assistance [15:54] thomc: lol [15:54] rubydiamond: what's funny? [15:54] thomc: if system cleanups /tmp dir everyday.. crontab would get lost everyday [15:57] si [15:57] hola [15:57] !es [15:57] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[16:00] jcapinc, yes [16:00] But my hard drive *was* very full for a while, and i have a feeling I might be running a different file system How can I find out if I need to defrag, because *something* is slowing my computer to a crawl. [16:00] jcornwall, yes [16:00] jcrawford* [16:00] ^ that too [16:00] thanks Spike1506 [16:00] *sorry, that's half a question* reposting... [16:00] also anyone know if the latest version works with the apple airport card? [16:00] I'm told that ubuntu doesn't need to be defragged if you're using the usual filesystem, or your drive has become *very* full at some stage. [16:00] jcrawford, you can enable it via System -> preferences -> Appearance --> Desktop Effects [16:00] what [16:00] But my hard drive *was* very full for a while, and i have a feeling I might be running a different file system How can I find out if I need to defrag, because *something* is slowing my computer to a crawl.

Anyone know what I should do? [16:01] pero q ago hay [16:02] Dougal: I think there is a way to check how fragmented a certain file is..or to get a list of the most fragmented files.. do that, move those to another drive.. move them back.. hopefully that will improve things [16:02] 1list [16:02] rubydiamond: /var/spool/cron/crontabs/myusername is where my crontab is stored. [16:02] !list [16:02] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [16:03] Dougal: the best way would be to just clear out the entire fs.. but that might be hard to do, depending on how much stuff you've got on it [16:03] vehystrix: if you just installed then open a terminal and "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" .. then check the restricted drivers manager again and see if anythign shows up [16:03] thomc: oh gone .. I have taken backup of /home and /etc only === jean is now known as Guest51436 [16:03] rubydiamond: sorry to hear that. Worth knowing where it is for future reference.

[16:04] Dougal: filefrag is the name of the command to get fragemtation for a file [16:04] Slart: I'll consider that a last resort. In the mean time, that leaves me with my first question: How to find out if/how many files are fragmented [16:04] is there any good file server .. I have some files .. on my server .. want to explore those with web interface .. even play if those are mp3s [16:04] Slart: ooh, thanks [16:05] is there a way to install postgresql 8.4 on jaunty? [16:05] *BUT* When I had someone help me set up the system, I was hoping to make it a dual-boot with Windows, we *may* have put a different file system on to make things easier. I forget. [16:06] Is there an easy way to check what filesystem I'm running? [16:06] rubydiamond: Just install lighttpd, for example, and configure it for password protection. There, you have a mini-website [16:06] does anyone know how to fix not having any sound on Ubuntu 9.04 32bit with onboard Realtek ALC889A? [16:06] grawity: I have already apache installed [16:06] vehystrix, System -> hardware driver dosnt return nething? [16:06] Dougal: I ended up writing a script that moved the files with more than N fragments to a tmp drive and back.. I let that run for a while.. speeds improved after that [16:07] nivekcl: you can upgrade kernel, or you can install the new alsa [16:07] dakarn: which would you reccomend? [16:08] Slart: thank you, I will remember that for future. Sadly, I wouldn't even know how to write a script yet. Very new to that sort of aspect to Linux [16:08] nivekcl: this on a laptop? [16:08] no desktop [16:08] hi, can anyone tell me how to cat $var into a file without cat transforming $var into ""(nothing)? tried to cat case "$var" in into a file but it keeps going case "" in! [16:08] In the mean time, filefrag checks one file, any simple way to use it to check *all* files? I'm not going to type in the same command a thousand times to do all the files [16:08] !logs [16:08] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [16:09] dakarn: it is a desktop with an intel cpu and gigabyte motherboard if that matters [16:09] hi [16:09] nivekcl: the 2.6.30 kernel is unsupported, but i recommend it [16:09] i need help on settign up rails on jaunty jackalope [16:09] does http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-pkg-synopsis apply in ubuntu? [16:09] can someone help [16:09] dakarn how would i go about upgrading to that then? [16:09] why cant ppl wait for answers ... [16:10] anybody know any tricks on increasing the overall volume of the sound card? i get *much* louder sound, with no distortion, when i boot this laptop into windows [16:10] ram1 with what [16:10] you did the 32bit install right? [16:10] dakarn: yes [16:10] MFen: enable the builtin amplifier perhaps? [16:10] GreyGhost: how long should i wait ;-? [16:10] Walex: sounds good. how does that work [16:11] timeless_mbp, wasnt talking bout u ;) [16:11] locutus24, i get "E: Couldn't find package ri" [16:11] Dougal: let me setup a very simple script to at least get you a list of the most fragmented files [16:11] nivekcl: http://www.ramoonus.nl/2009/06/10/linux-kernel-2-6-30-installation-guide-for-ubuntu-and-debian-linux/ [16:11] Dougal: it will take me a minute.. I'll get you a link when I'm done [16:12] i get "E: Couldn't find package ri", can someone pzl help ? [16:12] dakarn: thank you [16:12] MFen: it could also depend on your media player.. some have fairly advanced configuration options :) [16:12] ram1, wat r u trying to do? [16:12] GreyGhost, i am trying to setup rails on ubuntu [16:12] jauntu jackalope [16:13] MFen: just one of the controls in the mixer controls./ [16:13] Slart: thank you, you've been *very* helpfull [16:13] ram1,wat is rails? [16:13] ruby on rails [16:13] FiReSTaRT: it doesn't depend on anything. all applications that play sound in ubuntu are quieter than all applications that play sound in windows [16:13] Walex: everything in the mixer is up to max [16:14] ram1, wat command did u use? [16:14] MFen: it is a boolean control. [16:14] sudo apt-get install ruby ri rdoc [16:14] MFen: no idea.. like if i'm having issues with quiet sound in audacious i can bump up the preamp.. i'd just be worried about my speakers :P [16:14] timeless_mbp, are you trying to make packages? [16:14] Anyone know how to uninstall ubuntu from vista dualboot? Can't boot up ubuntu for some reason. [16:14] bastidrazor: i'm reviewing the package list and trying to figure out if i'm justified complaining about something [16:14] walex: if you know what it is, it's probably better to actually say the command rather than saying it's a boolean control. [16:14] ram1, try sudo apt-get install rails [16:15] timeless_mbp, feel free to complain to the package author. that is the joy of open source [16:15] ram1, one sec .. ri package exists .. [16:15] bastidrazor: it feels rude to send ~300 complaints [16:15] GreyGhost, i am following the steps from http://www.hackido.com/2009/04/install-ruby-rails-on-ubuntu-904-jaunty.html [16:16] loof: the name of the control depends on the card. Usually it has a fairly obvious name like "external amplifier". [16:16] timeless_mbp, fix the issues and submit them for a fix. [16:16] hello, i anyone could help to find out what motherboard my computer has? [16:16] jamesas8: though I'd rather try a repair, can delete it from windows (unknown parti) and ask ##windows for restoring bootloader, wrong chan here [16:16] i get error in step 3 [16:16] bastidrazor: hrm... for debian/control files, a patch would be acceptable? :) [16:17] timeless_mbp, it would be reviewed and implemented if felt you are correct [16:17] Walex: i don't have any switches that say amplifier [16:17] i made lshw and sudo dmidecode --type 17, but i'm not sure about what the motherboard is [16:17] ram1, make sure Universe is checked in .. System ->Admin -> software sources [16:18] then do sudo apt-get update .. [16:18] and try again.. [16:18] MFen: then perhaps your chipset type is not quite perfectly supported by the driver. There are many variants. [16:18] MFen: anyhow, try to check which controls you have with 'amixer controls' just to double check. [16:18] GreyGhost, universe is selected, i uncommented all the sources in sources.list and did update [16:19] ram1, still u get missing package ri? [16:19] yes [16:19] MFen: you may even have one of those card without a hw volume control, they need the 'softvol' ALSA plugin. [16:19] ram1, weird .. try apt-cache show ri [16:20] Walex: yeah "amixer controls" shows stuff i already have access to [16:20] nothing about aplifying [16:20] Walex: i dunno, it's ALC662 using hda intel [16:20] MFen: the name may be not entirely obvious. But maybe one of the other cases apply. [16:21] GreyGhost i am changing the dowlad from option from local to "Main server" now [16:21] ram1, yeah that might work .. [16:21] MFen: there are dozens of variants of intel HDA, all with very subtly different mixer registers. [16:21] hello guys, need some help here please [16:21] mihai__: sure, what's wrong? [16:21] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [16:21] ubuntu-desktop: Depends: update-manager but it is not going to be installed [16:21] Depends: update-notifier but it is not going to be installed [16:21] E: Broken packages [16:21] mihai__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:22] kde keeps crashing and i kinda got tired of it [16:22] doesn't work [16:22] mihai__: error? [16:22] Walex: there's a "model" parameter, but no list of the models i can use [16:22] i'll send you via private [16:23] MFen: the list is in the manual and docs. [16:23] mihai__: please pastebin it [16:23] mihai__: in fact its > 3 lines so its fine, you can paste it here [16:23] GreyGhost, awesome, it worked.. looks like something is screwed up in India Server?

Any idea how to correct this? [16:35] my card is x4500. and i have the lastes ubuntu [16:35] oh I'm on hardy heron by the way... [16:35] tscmga: I haven't tried. I know that there were compatibility issues with the G45 chipset when it came out; I'm not sure if they've been resolved now. [16:35] I found and installed every packages what was suggested, but I still can not watch the movies [16:35] or is there a better place to ask about apt problems? [16:36] ok guys, need some help here. I just connected a hard drive via usb (IDE enclosure), how do i figure out where it's mounted [16:36] thomc, ah, thanks, found it [16:36] mantees: including vlc? [16:36] yes [16:36] i want to use photorec to copy the recovered data from another drive to this drive ... which is a terabyte [16:36] CokeNCode: run mount [16:36] CokeNCode: it will automount to /media/disklabel [16:36] boss_mc: it will not [16:36] so, I have to confirm: there is no such a player that works [16:36] mantees: so what happens when you try to play the dvd using vlc? [16:36] thomc, thanks. [16:36] no VLC, no TOTEM, no XINE [16:37] mplayer? [16:37] ziroday: say what? yes it will, that's default ubuntu behaviour for external usb HD [16:37] it is impossible, but this is the fact [16:37] everything, beleive me [16:37] Hi People [16:37] great, thanks guys [16:37] running the recovery now ... woo hoo ! [16:37] I got a question about getting the kernel code of ubunto# [16:37] mantees, wat codec is that movie? === sopi is now known as Guest81366 [16:37] ubuntu [16:38] I have no clue [16:38] boss_mc: that is what it attempts to do, but often it will just mount it in /media/disk or /media/sizeofdisk. [16:38] mantees, and not a dvd right? [16:38] I think CSS [16:38] ziroday: where can i find the repo's i need ? :-s [16:38] I need the code because I am building the driver for my wireless W200 [16:38] mihai__: go to Software Sources and tick the ones you want [16:38] I tried planty of DVDs from my collection, and nothing happened [16:38] i just need the ones to install ubuntu desktop...don't really need to move the old ones [16:39] mantees, have you install libdvdcss? [16:39] hmm i can't really do that.... [16:39] kamal: well you can try the kernels from kernel.org [16:39] mihai__: why not? [16:39] !dvd > mantees [16:39] mantees, please see my private message [16:39] ziroday: it will mount it to /media/*disc label if it exists, or size if it doesn't, or disk if it's fat16 (I think)* then... :) [16:39] i'm from a console....kde doesn't work pretty good and i can't open all the things i need [16:39] Hi guys - my sound is very tinny (no bass, just highs) on my iMac 7,1 w/ Codec: Realtek ALC889A. Can someone point me in the right direction? [16:39] any one knows how to set beagle to index my home dir only ? [16:40] sorry, I have no libdvdcss in the package [16:40] I searched in the package manager but it seems it does not offer the kernel source [16:40] mantees, tried ubuntu-restricted-extras? [16:40] hi, i am just trying to register a new account on ubuntu forum [16:40] it ask me a question [16:40] What color is an orange? [16:40] tscmga: that would be orange. [16:40] wait it's workin now i think [16:40] i don't know it is green or yellow [16:40] tscmga: "orange" of course. [16:41] GreyGhost: ubuntu-restricted-extras? [16:41] : [16:41] in package source? [16:41] :D [16:41] tscmga: orange.. a way to keep spambots out :P [16:41] nope....they're not there mate :-s.... [16:41] mantees, yeah .. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:41] i am a human [16:42] tscmga has a point though. It asked me the number of ears on the average human. It wanted me to say 2, but that's not the only answer ;) [16:42] mihai__: here is mine, you will need to modify it to suit your country http://pastebin.ca/1468860 === paulcdancer is now known as Nanaki [16:42] tscmga: that's why the question is something that a spambot wouldn't easily handle :) [16:42] mantees, cos u need libdvdcss which it will auto install .. (atleast in 9.04) i think .. otherwise read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs if that didnt work [16:42] tscmga: int(avg(number_of_ears)) == 2 [16:42] uno momento [16:42] :D [16:43] er, thomc* [16:43] ok i know this isnt the greatest question, but im just referencing myself, to find what version of ubuntu you have you go system > about ubuntu > version am i right? [16:43] !version [16:43] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [16:43] hi - I've got a corrupted package, but ubuntu-desktop depends on it. How can I remove it with apt? [16:43] or reinstall? [16:44] so, the Movie Player says: Could not read from resource [16:44] Hi everyone, is it possible to force the copy of a file > 4gig on a fat32 partition? [16:44] alejandro: sudo apt-get reinstall packagename will do fine [16:44] Nanaki: or go to system, administration, system monitor, system tab [16:44] the VLC can figure out simple, just quit [16:44] thanks, [16:44] no, that command doesn't work boss_mc but thanks [16:44] crashanddie: fat32 isn't able to count to more than 4 Gigs... no use in doing so, file will be corrupted [16:44] alejandro: also, removing ubuntu-desktop does not matter,it is just a metapackage that depends on the apps bundled with ubuntu [16:44] the Xine: Media stream scrambled/encrypted [16:45] alejandro: how does it fail? [16:45] ok cool. thanks [16:45] also, now that i know im using hardy can i upgrade straight to 9.04? [16:45] oh just a sec will get the error out [16:45] stefg, even if I'm not going to read it from windows? [16:45] mantees, hmm .. weird .. i dnt knw more bout it though .. :( [16:45] bbl .. bye all [16:45] Nanaki: not sure.. i've always done a backup of the home folder and a clean install :P [16:45] I tried the restricted-extras, and now it has installed, but nothing happened [16:45] crashanddie: that's a file system limitation, not an OS limitation... you need to split it [16:45] any suggestions of a decent webcam that works well with cheese? [16:46] it is an original stuff (9.04) [16:46] stefg, ok, thanks [16:46] it's cupsys-bsd boss_mc - it says [16:46] dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `cupsys-bsd' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. [16:46] firestart, last time i tried straight installing 9.04 id didnt work. so i went with an older version and no problems [16:46] and I already installed a lot [16:46] that's because the files list was corrupt so I've moved it aside for a bit [16:46] Nanaki: which part didn't work? [16:46] 9.04 [16:46] mantees: you need libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repository [16:46] ziroday, I have 2.6.24-24-386 on my machine but I find something like linux-2.6.24.7.tar.gz on kernel.org [16:46] !medibuntu | mantees [16:46] mantees: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [16:46] Nanaki: i mean which part of the install crapped out on ya? [16:46] My sound is very tinny (no bass, just highs) on my aluminum iMac 7,1 w/ Realtek ALC889A. Can someone point me in the right direction? [16:46] I am on it! [16:47] it may have been the cd but windows vista didnt like the idea of sharing my laptop lol [16:47] alejandro: ah, I see, you could add --force to the command, might help [16:47] ok just trying that now. it's that "serious error" bit that I got scared of... [16:47] Nanaki: don't do it from vista.. boot from the install cd [16:47] don't want to corrupt my apt db... [16:48] FiReSTaRT: i beleive i did and that failed as well..grub didnt work [16:48] <_gpg_> hello [16:48] cool! that worked boss_mc thanks very much!! [16:48] ok now off to check how the #iranelection is going.. [16:48] Did anyone try to resize an ext4 partition with gparted yet? any sucesses ? Or just the (usual...) gparted mess? === vc is now known as Guest62681 === ck is now known as Guest34057 [16:48] Nanaki: i think there's also an option to boot from the live cd and then run the os install.. have you tried that too? [16:48] <_gpg_> i'm interested to use bazaar since few days, but stuck with some items [16:49] anyone been able to install Magic Jack on Ubanta 9.0 ? [16:49] <_gpg_> The "Decentralized with automatic gatekeeper" is what i need with my team actually, i cant find any documentation about how to use/set PQM server [16:49] is there any speed increase by installing ubuntu on a thumb drive? [16:49] FiReSTaRT: dont remember, a friend of mine was helping me with it, i do remember running the live cd though. i believe that didnt work as well..permission problems, but now im wondering if that wont be an issue. [16:49] does anyone know if I can download the kernel-source using the synaptic package manager? [16:50] _gpg_: #ubuntu-server might be a better place for that question [16:50] fulltimers3, no, it's not possible yet. Magic Jack however, is working on a linux driver due out this fall [16:50] Hey [16:50] i have a general linux question ... how does the system keep its timing precision please? [16:50] thank you [16:51] Nanaki: that's weird.. one of the methods should work... btw is your computer Dell by any chance? [16:51] Time`s_Witness, it uses UNIX time [16:51] FiReSTaRT: yes it is a dell [16:52] hi everyone [16:52] Nanaki: then i'm not surprised you're having grub issues.. they like to get cute with their hardware.. however, if hardy installed just fine... i don't see why jaunty wouldn't [16:52] hello everybody... one last try :) [16:52] does anyone know if I can download the kernel-source using the synaptic package manager? [16:52] kamal: do apt-get source linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic [16:52] FiReSTaRT: i installed hardy no problem and im running on it now, just now i would like to update to a later version [16:52] Nanaki: yeah, upgrading might be your best option if you want to get it up and running without spending forever and a half troubleshooting [16:52] thank you I will try this [16:53] cabrey, as i can read in wiki (even though it's not the best source), UNIX time keeps track of number of seconds since 1st jan 1970. that doesn't explain the timing precision, just how it calculates current time [16:53] i mean precision as in: [16:53] The number of decimal places to which a number is computed. [16:53] FiReSTaRT: lol yeah thanks alot, do i have to upgrade to Intrepid first or can i just go straight to jaunty? [16:53] Time`s_Witness: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTP_pool for your interest (and refrain from choosing stupid nicks with special characters, plz:-) ) [16:53] Time`s_Witness: I guess 'zero'. [16:53] stefg: It's not "special character"; the ircd doesn't allow them. [16:54] LOL stefg. xD [16:54] hi [16:54] Thanks. reading :) [16:54] Nanaki: no idea... i don't see why it wouldn't make a straight jump to jaunty though [16:55] FiReSTaRT: i see thanks though, ill look it up on the forums for reference before i make a move, thanks alot though! [16:55] Nanaki: no worries.. i wish i could have been of more help... but that's one of the reasons i stay away from dells.. they make making grub work a very interesting experience :P [16:56] FiReSTaRT: yes..yes it is very interesting, but at least im not bored eh? [16:56] hmm why do I get e: 175 pos: 1 parser failed somehow near here: (EOL) at lighttpd.conf? [16:56] there is no line 175 [16:56] Nanaki: you can only go from release to next release or LTS to next LTS. [16:57] aTr: is there a line 174? [16:57] aTr: It probably expects to have an empty line at the very end. [16:57] Nanaki: now that's a good way to make lemonade... as for me, i'd rather have fresh clean water, tyvm :) [16:57] ziroday, yes, there is a line 174 [16:57] ziroday: so i should go to intrepid first then go to jaunty? [16:57] Nanaki: correct [16:57] but I rewrote it from scretch [16:58] ziroday: thanks alot [16:58] !upgarde [16:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about upgarde [16:58] aTr: then I would be looking for your error there, or the line above.

[17:06] after that i ran lighty-enable-mod fastcgi [17:06] yah === sopi is now known as Guest3002 [17:07] (sorry, was a hardcore windows man) [17:07] Guest65987: did you actually install it? [17:07] I believe its installed [17:07] aTr: does a file with mod-fastcgi exist in /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled? [17:07] I'm gettin gthe login screen [17:07] orange colour one? [17:07] Guest65987: the graphical installer would have asked you for a username/pass. [17:07] Guest65987: The idea is that you install the system to your harddrive and then you don't need the live CD anymore (because you boot from the harddrive). [17:07] Guest65987: you would of had to define your username and password during the install [17:08] Can anyone tell me how to open /etc/syslog.conf so that I can have a look at the file? [17:08] ziroday, it was on the lighttpd folder, so I moved into conf-enabled [17:08] Guest65987: you might notice that the key strokes are almost identicle for instance: Alt+Space, N [17:08] moved it into* [17:08] err I don't remember defining username or password during install [17:08] aTr: so you didn't do sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi then? [17:08] Guest65987, did you install from within windows? [17:08] Guest65987: Ctrl+Esc became Alt+F1, WindowsKey+R is Alt+F2 [17:08] ruadh: less /etc/syslog.conf [17:08] Guest65987: If you did the install you definitely created a user name and password. [17:09] thanks [17:09] ziroday, I did [17:09] hmm [17:09] it says it already enabled [17:09] I will try a few hold pls [17:09] Guest65987: I thought they get defined on the second boot? not the inital CD boot [17:09] ruadh: also System|Administration|Log File Viewer [17:09] aTr: please pastebin the output of ls -la /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled and your new lighttpd.conf as well as /etc/init.d/lighttpd start [17:09] Guest65987 u maybe want to install it again. if your machine is reasonably fast, you will do it in 10-15 minutes.

[17:14] thomc, can't take a joke? [17:14] this is driving me nuts [17:14] newbie002: because it sounds like you've made the ssh connection to the machine and now the machine is allowing you to log on (but you need a username/password for that) [17:14] Hasbro: this isn't the right place. [17:14] thomc, why so serious? [17:14] how can I go through the resetting of usernames without having to delete my whole hard disk again? [17:14] Hasbro: 1 in 1000000 people will follow your advice = BAD [17:15] plz tell me how to open a file from terminal; [17:15] jushoa: you need to add them to your favourites in the Network List if you want to log in automatically next time.

It is a desktop like windows but LINUX IS NOT WINDOWS [17:18] ok, but the "idea" is like using windows desktop etc [17:18] so you have the start button which is top right [17:18] Guest65987: When you first get started yes. [17:18] I mean left [17:18] newbie002: do you have a username/password for that box? [17:19] Time`s_Witness, : do you REALLY want to know?

Now I can't login graphically, but I can through tty01. I'm told to look at ~./xsession-error which contains: mkdtemp: private socket dir: Too many links [17:19] boss_mc: no, that's why I'm confused [17:19] newbie002: you'll need one, the public key is just to allow you to make the connection, you still need a user/pass to log in to the machine [17:19] Guest65987: Well if you need more help just let me know! [17:19] okok, let me browse around... you should see the smile on my face! [17:19] boss_mc: could it be that I should enter my passphrase? I created a passphrase when I generated the public key [17:19] =) [17:20] newbie002: same as if you were sitting at the machine [17:20] thanks Edbian [17:20] boss_mc: the guy who gave me the access doesn't seem to think that, so I thought I was doing something wrong on my end [17:20] newbie002: I'm testing on my machine... gimmie a sec... [17:21] boss_mc: thanks [17:21] hi, whats the best way to backup an entire (dual-boot) HD? dd? [17:21] dd/clonezilla [17:22] psych: Is you want a redundant copy then yes. Also that will take a long time. [17:22] does it copy my MRB also? [17:22] well to do that, you need only dd the first 512 bytes [17:22] I just installed ubuntu next to my xp first i tried form cd worked now i installed and after i log in 2 secs and turn off my computer anyone can help me about this? [17:22] psych: I think you would have to do each partition with dd. I don't know of a way to copy the MBR. [17:23] newbie002, apparently your pki credentials are not recognised by the remote host [17:23] does sudo rm -rf/* will crash jaunty? [17:23] tuxFan: That command deletes the entire filesystem [17:23] newbie002, check you have the correct public key installed on the remote host [17:23] C-S-B, does dd do it? [17:23] yes [17:23] tuxFan: Yod don't wanna do that [17:24] so dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY will do the job [17:24] tuxFan: You should report whoever told you to do that. [17:24] if it helps, I found out that mkdtemp makes a unique tempfile, which probably held something related to the 99999... screenshots. Does anyone here have a clue where those would be stored? I tried ls /tmp -a & there was nothing of interest. [17:24] crashanddie: perhaps it's the way I generated the key [17:24] newbie002, do you have the public key installed on the remote host? [17:24] psych: yes, but you only have to count the first 512 bytes to get the mbr [17:24] tuxFan: Are you there? [17:25] ok thx for the advice [17:25] yes [17:25] C-S-B, i want the whole data [17:25] newbie002, you shouldn't have to provide the name of the key you want to use on the command line [17:25] tuxFan: NP [17:25] newbie002, and considering the key you have is an RSA key, it should be fine [17:25] crashanddie: I believe so, (meaning I emailed it to a person) [17:25] C-S-B, im switching my hdd from 120 to 500gb (dual-boot) and want the whole data in this new drive [17:26] question; does ANYONE here use inxi? [17:26] hello, is it possible to improve compiz cube appearance with anti-aliasing? [17:26] psych, it would be time inefficient to dd the whole drive [17:26] crashanddie: I put the file in my home directory not .ssh/ [17:26] crashanddie: then I specified the location of the file using -i [17:26] C-S-B, what you recomend me? [17:26] newbie002, the public key needs to be put in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys or something like that [17:26] !ssh > newbie002 this page will give you all the info and howto's you need [17:26] newbie002, please see my private message [17:26] Partimage? C-S-B [17:26] psych: use clonezilla, iirc it will backup only used data [17:26] newbie002, I'm talking about the remote host here [17:26] Partimage will only copy data from the used portions of the partition. For speed and efficiency, free blocks are not written to the image file. This is unlike the 'dd' command, which also copies empty blocks. Partimage also works for large, very full partitions. For example, a full 1 GB partition can be compressed with gzip down to 400MB. [17:26] newbie002, the private key needs to be in ~/.ssh on your local box, and ~/.ssh needs to be readable only by you [17:27] crashanddie: I don't have access to it, I am assuming it was setup correctly [17:27] psych: I did something similar once. I used gparted to copy my partitions / arrange them how I wanted on the new drive. [17:27] psych: what about sbackup? [17:27] edbian, gparted, that simple? [17:27] crashanddie: sounds like the problem is on the other end then [17:28] ubuntu shot down my computer just after loging in...anyone can help? [17:28] psych: I did everything but the MBR [17:28] newbie002, I would recommend putting your private key in the correct place first of all [17:28] psych, just use clonezilla, its the best and quickest for drive cloning [17:28] edbian, a boot with the live cd will fix it, okay? [17:28] vik85: turn it back on? LOL [17:28] vik85: What do you mean? Rephrase your question for me. [17:28] C-S-B, thank you dude [17:28] crashanddie: ssh did that for me automatically [17:28] newbie002, public keys don't work unless both the host and guest have the same key [17:28] I have an NTFS partition that I'm trying to delete, GParted says it can't find a valid NTFS, it can't unmount it, when I try to delete it using parted it tells me I need to unmount it, and when I do sudo umount /dev/sdc1 it tells me that it's not mounted. Any ideas? [17:28] psych: I don't understand what you're saying (asking?) [17:29] psych, clonezilla should back up the mbr, but you can do that quickly with dd [17:29] edbian, a boot with the live cd will fix it, okay? (mbr/grub) [17:29] I enter my logon nam and pasword it starts but after 2-3 sec it simply turning off [17:29] C-S-B, whats the command? [17:29] psych: Simply booting the live CD will not affect the MBR at all. Use DD like the others suggested for the MBR. [17:29] newbie002, you should have the private key and public key in two separate files, copy the private key to ~/.ssh/id_rsa, and the public key to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, make sure the ssh directory is readable only by you (chmod -R 700 ~/.ssh) and make sure your public key is installed on the remote host under /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys [17:30] edbian, you can fix the mbr from there [17:30] whooops [17:30] BacTalan: try running from a Live CD and then use Gparted [17:30] erm [17:30] jebblue: That's exactly what I'm doing [17:30] psych: Oh, then do that! :) I didn't know I've never done that. [17:30] crashanddie: the files are that way, the key generator does this automatically [17:30] vik85: Everytime? Is your system overheating? [17:30] How do I drag the launcher bar to the other screen on a two screen system? [17:31] newbie002, ok, fair enough, haven't generated keys in ten years or so :P [17:31] pscych: dd if=/dev/hdx of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1 [17:31] yeah aevery time [17:31] psych: dd if=/dev/hdx of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1 [17:31] I tried from cd first it worked allright [17:31] any clue how to use/install Yahoo IM into 9.04 Jaunty? [17:31] vik85: What happens if you turn on your system and enter the bios and just sit there? Does the system overheat if you just sit in the bios? [17:31] How do I tell a certain interface to NOT pick up dns addresses over dhcp? I can't see any command in dhclient.conf that obviously does what I want (I get dhcp for ppp0 AND eth0 and I only want to pick up dns servers from ppp0) [17:32] newbie002, ask your remote contact to verify the contents of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, possibly ask him to email it to you (those are public keys, no real security risk) [17:32] scream: in ubuntu 9.04 right click the panel and select MOVE [17:32] C-S-B, how mrb-backup will look like? /dev/hdY ? [17:32] BacTalan: As ntfs-3g has problems with bad ntfs drives... here's a solution.. boot using a windows boot disk and use fdisk in dos to delete the old partition.. you will be left with unpartitioned space which you can then use with Gparted [17:32] I installed ubuntu, and get's can't connect to the wireless networks (secured and unsecured) [17:32] I think it can be overheated b I use this computer just now [17:32] I see them [17:32] edbian; as far as I know it just sits there?! [17:32] with xp [17:32] mbr-backup is a file name for the backup of your mbr [17:32] just when I connect to them, it doesn't [17:32] any ideas? [17:32] scribawf, : pidgin has a yahoo plugin, use that [17:32] fccf: Totally forgot about that.. I'll try doing it from a Windows disk [17:32] scribawf: Did you change your nick from "vik85" ?? [17:32] nice chatter [17:33] loof, Add to panel, properties, Delete this panel, New panel, Help, About panels are the only options I have. [17:33] C-S-B, and how to 'put' it in the other drive? [17:33] nm, I guess I just set a host entry and remove domain-name-servers from the request line? [17:33] still trying to understand how can linux have high precision timing, i found this: http://jno.glas.net/data/prog_books/lin_kern_2.6/0596005652/understandlk-CHP-6-SECT-1.html#understandlk-CHP-6-FN1 (read 6.1.2). So, the OS keeps at a registry, the number of oscilations per time-unit of the Hardware clock. However, since the Hardware clock is only used to synchronizate OS clock at boot, how can this value be used by linux itself to provide such [17:33] sanspeaker567, here's an idea: explain your problem in one single sentence / without hitting the return key 5 times, much more readable that way. [17:33] BacTalan check /etc/fstab and be sure you are using the right device name to unmount it [17:33] sure [17:33] edbian: no sorry [17:33] psych: just reverse the if and of [17:33] if [17:33] ic [17:33] Time`s_Witness, unless you're running a real-time kernel, "high-precision" is a highly relative term [17:33] scribawf: What is your issue? [17:34] loaf: tnx will give pidgin a try on IM(Yahoo) [17:34] BacTalan: if Gparted can't remove a partition then later file a bug against it and for now use fdisk [17:34] scribawf: Sorry but I don't remember helping you with something. What are you trying to do? [17:34] hello, i've got a problem with the login-screen after aborting the screensaver, it's like invisible. i can type in my password and hit -enter- but id dont see the login-field at all [17:34] BacTalan: fdisk should be available in the Live CD [17:34] edbian: just tryin to get Yahoo IM working/installed in 9.04 [17:35] crashanddie, i mean high - precision, not high accuracy. so the time may be wrong (ex, being 6h30pm, 10secs, but the clock saying its 6h30pm, 9secs), but im talking about precision (clock says its 6h30pm 9 secs, X nanoseconds (for instance)) [17:35] How do I drag the launcher bar to the other screen on a two screen system? I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty and and I don't se\e a MOVE option. [17:35] scream: hm, what are you using to do multimonitor? [17:35] C-S-B, can i use clonezilla with my running system? [17:35] scribawf: I think there is some issue about yahoo changing their servers around. I know a lot of people came in here yesterday because pidgin couldn't connect. [17:35] mounted partitions [17:35] The nvidia hardware driver [17:35] I installed ubuntu but cannot connect to the wireless networks that are shown. I see the wireless networks, but when I click on them a progress notification is shown on the status bar (small ball that cirles), but eventually does not connect to the network (this is for both secure/unsecure) connections. [17:35] BacTalan: sudo fdisk -l should show all the partitions [17:35] psych: nope, clonezilla a bootable disc [17:36] scribawf: if you want Yahoo IM client with voice/video you can add a separate repository (https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa) and install the gyachi package [17:36] psych: backing up a mounted drive isn't great [17:36] scream: ah, i'm not sure, i'm running the ati driver. but it shouldn't matter [17:36] jebblue: I'll try that in a minute if my Windows disk doesn't do it [17:36] ic [17:36] gonna dl the file [17:36] and burn it [17:36] edbian: ok tnx much for that info will ck it out haven't installed it yet (YahooIM) but will c what happens [17:36] scribawf: Sure, let me know if you need any more help with something :) [17:37] scribawf, : just use pidgin it has the plugin for yahoo :P [17:37] psych, clonezilla is great util to keep disc, completely os independent [17:37] BacTalan: ok, anything you need to do with partitions can usually and more often be doene in Linux - good luck [17:37] I just changed over from 32 to 64 bit, the display is a little buggy... like when I move the cursor to monitor 2, the cursor artifact remains on monitor one... [17:37] and I can't seem to drag the launcher bar [17:37] (panel?) [17:37] loof: did give me some advice to use pidgin will also go after that action [17:37] jebblue: ntfs-3g has a limitation in that it cannot mount or delete a partition that hasn't been properly unmounted, either by windows or linux.. fdisk in dos is a different program than fdisk in linux... the linux version still relies on ntfs-3g, which cannot access the bad ntfs partition [17:37] Loof; tnx again [17:37] np [17:38] jebblue: The drive didn't even show up in Windows >_> Rebooting back to the LiveCD [17:38] scream: i assume you're using the latest nvidia drivers? if it's a new card i think the driver's up to like 180.50 or something newer [17:38] fccf: been dealing with Linux since 1994 I doubt that fdisk can't delete it [17:39] checking [17:39] Time`s_Witness, my point exactly, most of the time, the "nanosecond" value is an estimate, based on CPU cycles and such, for example a 1ghz CPU will give you a tick every nanosecond, whereas a 2Ghz CPU would give you a tick every half nanosecond. It's by counting the number of ticks that you can have an approximate value in nanoseconds [17:39] can anybody help me? [17:39] hello, i've got a problem with the login-screen after aborting the screensaver, it's like invisible. i can type in my password and hit -enter- but id dont see the login-field at all. I use Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit on a Dell Studio 1555 using the ATI Graphic Card Driver 9.5 [17:39] !ask | sanspeaker567 [17:39] sanspeaker567: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:40] Using 180 [17:40] Time`s_Witness, the other way would be to count how much time has passed (again, highly variable unless you have a real-time kernel), and then just divide that time by the CPU clock [17:40] 180.44 (from the repo [17:40] BacTalan: be careful with Linux fdisk - use m for help, l for list partitions, check the man page [17:40] sanspeaker567: what wireless card do you have? [17:40] C-S-B, my new drive is in a usb case, will clonezilla handle it? [17:40] Time`s_Witness, it gives you a precision of nanoseconds, but doesn't guarantee those values mean anything [17:40] Psych: yes, I literally did an indentical thing with a mac the other day. [17:41] cool [17:41] sanspeaker567, seems like an issue with your network driver, check what driver you're running and ask in their support channel [17:41] C-S-B, ty for you help [17:41] ziroday, I've completely purged all php5 debs and lighttpd and reinstalled them [17:41] psych, im off, np :) [17:41] yofel, dell wireless 1490 [17:41] now there is no problem [17:41] jebblue: The partition shows up correctly in fdisk, what should I do to delete it? [17:41] but i still got the 403 - forbidden error [17:41] hello, how can i see what process uses my dsp device ? [17:41] good night guys [17:41] BacTalan, d partition_number [17:41] alarm: lsof might help [17:42] scanning windows files here, anyone got experience with scanners besides clamav, recommendations? [17:42] BacTalan: read the man page to get familiar with the options, also "m" and once deleted, remember to write your changes and reboot to check [17:42] crashanddie: so sudo fdisk d /dev/sdc1? [17:42] lsof | grep dsp [17:42] doesntn return anything... [17:42] although it is used :/ [17:42] crashanddie, when installing it found my driver and installed it. Because I can see the wireless networks, would that mean that my card is working (at least partially?) [17:43] crashanddie, the driver actually comes with ubuntu 9, from what I understand. [17:44] !hi [17:44] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [17:44] sanspeaker567: check what dmesg and /var/log/syslog tell you [17:44] would anyone know if its beneficial to have a separate /boot partition.. ? thx [17:44] sorry for repeating but is it possible to improve compiz cube appearance with anti-aliasing? [17:44] phlak_user: hi [17:45] n0de: unless you use encrypted lvm for root i don't think so [17:45] n0de: encrypted root [17:45] yofel, is that were all system errors go to? [17:45] yofel, are there any other log files that may be useful? [17:46] thx all [17:46] sanspeaker567: not sure right now, dmesg should tell you about driver errors and the network manager output should be in syslog [17:46] bye [17:46] BacTalan, fdisk /dev/sdc; then when in the menu, type "p " to show the list of partitions, "m " for menu, "d " and follow instructions [17:47] yofel / Slart: thx... im an ex-gentoo user with questions to everything :/ [17:47] n0de: oh.. just thought of something else.. on some older computers you have to have the boot partition in the first X cylinders on the drive.. or something like that [17:47] n0de: You want from gentoo to ubuntu? You're going backwards man! [17:47] yofel, just type dmesg on the command line? [17:47] n0de, if you're an ex-gentoo you should have all the answers :P [17:47] * phlak_user just managed to connect to the internet using a ZTE 8170 EVDO card [17:48] crashanddie: Done, it doesn't show it when I list them, rebooting to check it [17:48] <-- ex-gentoo [17:48] edbian: no he isn't [17:48] sanspeaker567: yes [17:48] BacTalan, could be there aren't any partitions on the drive, too [17:48] BacTalan, also, are you sure you have the correct device? [17:48] crashanddie: Yes [17:48] sanspeaker567, yes, it is working, it's just having a hard time connecting -- not sure anyone in here knows enough about your card to be able to help you, try dmesg to see if you get any messages there [17:48] crashanddie: Both of the partitions on the drive showed up correctly in gparted and fdisk [17:49] edbian / crashanddie: ha! well i love gentoo, but i was thinking of moving to ubuntu for simplicity and binaries [17:49] edbian / crashanddie: is ubuntu crap then? [17:49] yofel, crashanddie okay thanks, I will have to log off now, and swap my drive with ubuntu to try to get this working. No network connection in ubuntu yet, so it will be a process ;) [17:49] n0de, same here, couldn't be bothered to emerge -U world every weekend [17:49] n0de: lmao, no no. It is fast, easy to set up, and very polished. Def one of the best distros out there. [17:49] sanspeaker567, even though the driver shipped with Ubuntu, Ubuntu didn't create it. [17:49] dudes how do you kill x-server cntrl alt bckspace doesn't do anything anymore [17:49] n0de: Ubuntu is not crap. It is good. [17:50] sanspeaker567, check which driver you are running, and write it down, we will try to get you some support [17:50] !dontzap | obf213 [17:50] obf213: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [17:50] sanspeaker567, no network cable? [17:50] BacTalan: where are you at, did you use fdisk to delete it? did that work [17:50] Ubuntu is meant for the average home user, and Gentoo is for the more knowledgable and seasoned Linux users. [17:50] how does one install LAMP based software on Ubuntu? I have scene packages, and I have seen advice to never use the ubuntu packages, and just to download the tarball. The packages also seem to always be out of date (isn't that a security issue?). Mainly the question I have, is do you use to packages? or do you just get the tarballs? And if tarballs, why are websites packaged at all? [17:50] *seen [17:50] crashanddie / edbian / Tetracomm: what would you use over ? ubuntu or gentoo? [17:50] Tetracomm: i'd say gentoo is for the logical. my 2nd distro was gentoo [17:50] n0de: I use debian :) [17:50] k thanks [17:50] jebblue / crashanddie: fdosk worked and it's gone now, thanks a bunch [17:51] I prefer Ubuntu, but I don't know which would suit you. [17:51] BacTalan: :-) [17:51] n0de: both have advantages, try multiple distros, see which you prefer [17:51] n0de: ubuntu as main, debian for stability, gentoo for configurability ;) [17:51] danbhfive: ALWAYS use packages in the repos before downloading and installing tar balls from the internet. Do you know what LAMP stands for? [17:51] n0de, as I said, I couldn't be bothered to compile my own packages anymore. The only reason I didn't pick Debian is that at the time of switch, my sound/wifi wasn't supported in stable [17:51] when i use skype, a core go to 100% [17:51] crashanddie, not right now, I can try to work that out. Is there a specific command to get the driver details that are being used? [17:51] im ex freebsd for years moved to gentoo for years and now looking at ubuntu for simple factor, but do love the gentoo life [17:51] sanspeaker567, lsmod [17:51] n0de: could try: puppy, mandriva, fedora, suse, debian [17:51] sanspeaker567, and dmesg [17:51] n0de: theres tonnes of distros [17:51] can anyone answer my question? [17:52] n0de: My kernel is 2.6.26-2-686 Does that mean it is compiled for my architecture? [17:52] !ask | whatis_tux [17:52] whatis_tux: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:52] ActionParsnip: lol mandribble? id rather windows! lol [17:52] whatis_tux: whats the question [17:52] crashanddie, okay. I am also using a router, does that impact anything? [17:52] edbian: id guess? unless ur using amd ;) [17:52] n0de: exactly, you tried it and didnt like it, there are still more to try, you could even ditch linux and try bsd [17:52] sanspeaker567, nope [17:52] whatis_tux, /join #compiz [17:52] ok , ok ... i was wondering if I can improve compiz cube appearance with anti-aliasing [17:52] n0de: any RPM based system will eventually corrupt its repository that's been my experience anyway [17:52] tks [17:53] oooh, predictive answering [17:53] edbian: er, do you know what LAMP stands for? I would like to know why you say that. As far as I can tell, its the opposite, always get the tarballs, but I'm curious to hear your logic [17:53] crashanddie, thks for your help, I'll give this a try. [17:53] n0de: So would I get no benefit from using gentoo and compiling my kernel for my arch? [17:53] whatis_tux: try asking in #compiz-fusion if you don't get an answer here [17:53] ActionParsnip: im ex bsd aswell [17:53] sanspeaker567, good luck :) [17:53] whatis_tux: also check in ccsm.. might be a setting there somewhere [17:53] !ccsm | whatis_tux [17:53] whatis_tux: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [17:53] n0de, I'm solaris/aix professionally ;) [17:53] Is there a way with `apt` that I can check the integrity of a packages? Make sure that file md5 sums match etc? [17:53] n0de: thats good that you tried it. keep trying. eventually you will hit what you like. I have a bsd router, gentoo fileserver and ubuntu+lxde desktop [17:53] edbian: gentoo rocks in ways ud never think.. smaller footprint and clean cut. you'd benifit no prob, but its all the downfall of time to compile. [17:54] danbhfive: If you use the packages in the repos the updates are pushed out to you and it is way easier to install from the repos. Well you can just download the Apache, MySQL, and PHP packages (you already have linux) and there is you LAMP [17:54] Slart, I've set texture filter to 'best' and enabled antialiasing from my ati card but it has no effect .. that's why i was wondering [17:54] ActionParsnip: oh I used to be like you only years ago lol [17:54] edoceo: afaik, i believe it verifys packages first [17:54] n0de, smaller footprint and clean cut are the wrong arguments imho, it's just highly configurable and doesn't come with 3 gazillion default apps, very good for lightweight servers [17:54] hi [17:54] powertop shows A USB device is active 100.0% of the time: /sys/bus/usb/devices/6-2. Is that this from lsusb? Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader [17:54] n0de: look at BINHOST - that's a way to save build time - or distcc [17:54] edoceo: apt checks the checksums of all packages it downloads anyway afaik [17:54] n0de: tool for the job dude [17:54] whatis_tux: then I don't know, sorry.. but ask in #compiz-fusion [17:54] * phlak_user wondered why this channel isnt about support anymore [17:54] n0de: IC Does it solve package dependency issues? Is it .deb or .rpm packages? [17:54] what is karmic? [17:54] somebody could help me???

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [17:55] nandhi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:55] ActionParsnip: yofel - right - But I want to check installed packages - make sure that files are not modified/removed [17:55] and if so how do I turn it off? [17:55] nandhi, just ask your question [17:55] sorry is cause i speak spanish [17:55] !es| nandhi [17:55] edbian: compile from source. works out deps and installs the deps accordingly [17:55] !es [17:55] nandhi: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [17:55] edoceo: you can list installed stuff with: dpkg -l | less [17:56] ActionParsnip: Yes I know - but it does not verify integrity of installed pacakges [17:56] n0de: I have been considering looking at it for a while now. [17:56] crashanddie: lol yeah very much so... *looks over to #gentoo* [17:56] edoceo: you could employ tripwire to watch files and alert when changes occur [17:56] hi i need help [17:56] how can i have a remote acces in a windows machine?? [17:56] Hi. How do I install ubuntu with ext4? [17:56] i have sound blaster audigy se and i just set the surround sound but i cant play other sound from another source [17:56] nandhi: rdesktop [17:56] example: if i play rhytmbox a cant hear another sound for example from pidgin [17:56] !info rdesktop | nandhi [17:56] nandhi: rdesktop (source: rdesktop): RDP client for Windows NT/2000 Terminal Server. In component main, is optional. Version 1.6.0-2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 134 kB, installed size 480 kB [17:56] using alsa [17:56] with ssh [17:56] Thats overkill - I just want to know if a file as been modified from the package version [17:56] edbian: but like I said, the packages are almost _always_ outdated, and for the ones that I have looked into, by 6 months to a year. What about all the security fixes? What guarantees do I have that the upgrade will work properly without messing with my data? If you don't know the answer, thats ok... [17:57] does anyone know of a tool to recovery ntfs volumes? [17:57] !partner [17:57] The Ubuntu partnership program is designed to encourage, recognise and endorse Ubuntu expertise and commercial initiatives. It is structured to foster a healthy ecosystem surrounding Ubuntu, to highlight those companies with certified expertise in Ubuntu and a deeper relationship to Canonical. See http://www.ubuntu.com/partners for more information. [17:57] nandhi: you can tunnel rdesktop over ssh [17:57] nandhi: youu will need to install an ssh service on the windows side [17:57] !ext4 [17:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [17:57] On gentoo I can use `qcheck [package]` and it will examine all files/dirs installed by pacakge to ensure they are same [17:57] yes like putty^ [17:57] zamba: try photorec or testdisk [17:57] who was asking about antialiasing in compiz?? [17:57] n0de, like a lot of very good distro, Gentoo has been plagued by a stupid community (bunch of noobs thinking that because they installed a stage-3 they're uber-good) and very poor leading skills (and op-wars in #gentoo) [17:57] nandhi: windows doesnt have an sshd by default, you will need to install one [17:57] nandhi, that is a protocol not service [17:57] loof: whatis_tux [17:57] Yes i already install one. Putty [17:57] tafsen: select ext4 when paritioning the hard disk when installing ubuntu [17:58] crashanddie: only soo true. [17:58] !putty | nandhi [17:58] nandhi: PuTTY is an !SSH client for Windows. Please see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage and downloads. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) [17:58] whatis_tux, : you need to set the antialiasing setting in your video cards' driver config panel and restart X [17:58] nandhi: then connect to it using ssh username@servername [17:58] hello, my nvidia driver recognized my geforce 6600 agp as geforce 6600 GT pci-e.. what should i do? [17:58] don't set it too high or you'll not be able to use your ui lolz [17:58] test with a screensaver first [17:58] iggy1: is it causing issues? [17:58] danbhfive: Well that is all about trusting the ubuntu developers. They are the authority on what goes into the repos. Typically though they have very good judgment. They have a good reason not to update the software in the repos because it isn't stable or something like that. I am not aware of any security issues on LAMP besides MySQL query injection. [17:58] yofel: Is this after you have choosen "use the entire disc" ? [17:58] loof, i did but no effect [17:59] edbian, not true [17:59] whatis_tux, : you just have to enter your pass at the screensaver window [17:59] edbian, Developers have no authority for what goes into the repos [17:59] whatis_tux, : did you actually restart X or just restart compiz? [17:59] ActionParsnip: i get black screen after reboot... i dont know if this is the problem === phlak_user is now known as outbackwifi [17:59] I am realy new in this [17:59] crashanddie: Then who does? [17:59] tafsen: not sure, i always select manual patitioning at that point. There I know you can select it. [17:59] What is the best way to install LAMP based websites? via the repos or by downloading the tarballs? If I use a package from the repos, how do I handle updates, bugs, and security issues? [17:59] loof, the pc :) [17:59] but i already try this but i can not [17:59] whatis_tux, : doh =[ [17:59] yofel: How should I partition it if I use manually then? [18:00] danbhfive: what did you mean by lamp based websites? [18:00] danbhfive: If you install from the repos the update manager watches for updates for you (including security updates) [18:00] iggy1: possibly, i'd uninstall the driver and remove the nvidia stuffs from your home directory, then reinstall the driver [18:00] danbhfive: did you mean like drupal based? [18:00] ActionParsnip: thank, i'll try [18:01] I like to grab the source and rebuild in /usr/local/* [18:01] edbian, Software packages uploaded to unstable are normally versions stable enough to be released by the original upstream developer, but with the added Debian-specific packaging and other modifications introduced by Debian developers. These additions may be new and untested. Software not ready yet for the unstable distribution is typically placed in the experimental repository. [18:01] hi [18:01] edbian: ok, I hear you. But, I'm afraid what you say doesn't jive with my experience. sorry [18:01] tafsen: unless you use encryption, lvm etc. what I recommend is a root drive as large as you need it, a swap partition a bit larger then what you have RAM (if you need hibernate) and everything else for home [18:01] edbian, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Development_procedures [18:01] nandhi, hi [18:02] hi, crashddie [18:02] outbackwifi: yeah, exactly [18:02] nandhi, did you try the spanish ubuntu channel? [18:02] swap should be 2x memory [18:02] no [18:02] crashanddie: Yes but the ubuntu people are the ones who determine which branch a package goes into correct? [18:02] !es | nandhi [18:02] nandhi: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [18:02] danbhfive: you couldnt do that via repos [18:02] phoenixcomm: depends entirely on what you need, for hibernate not [18:02] how?? [18:02] nandhi, /join #ubuntu-es [18:03] danbhfive: drupal checks for updates and lets you update [18:03] and if you have more than drive put swap on both at same partition [18:03] outbackwifi: when I first installed drupal, the community instructions explicitly said don't use the repos. I've also had trouble with other websites from the repos, which has left me jaded. Im looking to see if there is more definitive advice [18:03] edbian, not sure I understand the question [18:03] I have compiled ffmpeg and x264 from source, as per a guide on forums, and they are installed to /usr/local. Is it ok to install a program that requires the libavcodec52 etc from the repos for dependencies? Will it conflict with my compiled versions [18:03] hello from the iPhone lol [18:04] chris0626: hello from g1 phone :) [18:04] phoenixcomm, you should never need more than 2Gig of swap [18:04] yofel, maybe but you should always be multilples of your memory [18:04] danbhfive: exactly: dont use ubuntu repos for drupal [18:04] and drive space is CHEEP [18:04] phoenixcomm, the old adage of "swap should be ram x2" stopped being true as soon as people had more than 2gig of ram [18:04] danbhfive: the Drupal team always wants you to get stuff from them - many distros (Ubuntu, Gentoo, Debian, etc) don't have the latest-greatest Drupal in repo [18:04] crashanddie: I am not saying that the ubuntu developers write every single piece of software in the repos but they do pick and choose what goes into the different branches and what version of the software etc etc. [18:04] phoenixcomm: I have 6GB RAM on my tower pc and I definitely don't need 12GB of swap :P [18:04] ActionParsnip: it didnt help.. xorg log says "Detected PCI Express Link width: 16X" but i have AGP 8x :-/ [18:04] edbian, no [18:05] I wish they would hurry with iPhone Linux lol. ubuntu on ur iPhone would be awesome [18:05] edbian, you are free to create a debian package and upload it to experimental/testing [18:05] iggy1: you could find out if there are lines you cana add to xorg.conf to force it [18:05] ok then just use 1x @ 6g [18:05] crashanddie: How then does a package get into main ? [18:05] edbian, it will get upgraded to more mainstream repositories as time goes by and the package is voted clear [18:05] crashanddie: Voted as clear by whom? [18:05] edbian, community [18:05] phoenixcomm: and thats exactly what I have ;) [18:06] most of my stuff runs on Sun Ultra SPARC & Solaris 8/8 [18:06] edbian, After a version of a software package has remained in unstable for a certain length of time (depending on the urgency of the software's changes), that package is automatically migrated to the testing distribution. The package's migration to testing occurs only if no serious (release-critical) bugs in the package are reported and if other software needed for package functionality qualifies for inclusion in testing. [18:06] ActionParsnip: i thought about it.. thanks anyway [18:06] ups that 8 or 10 [18:06] crashanddie: Just so you know this is much more of a learning experience than an argument for me :) [18:06] edbian, no problem [18:06] outbackwifi: heh, I guess I will wonder eternally why Ubuntu packages, and advertises! its presence in the repos. Do you think its that way for all websites? [18:06] my Ubuntu box is for Desktop Replacements. [18:06] i install openssh_server [18:07] and openssh_client [18:07] yofel how many drive do you have? [18:07] danbhfive: all websites?? [18:07] crashanddie: What do you think about danbhfive's opinion to not use the repos because of security issues / old software ?? [18:07] i try to configure x server [18:07] crashanddie: Thank you BTW :) [18:07] but i have problems with windows machine [18:07] phoenixcomm, we don't really care about your hardware unless you're explaining an issue, please keep off-topic conversations to a minimum [18:07] edbian: what security issues? [18:07] sorry === ewa is now known as Guest93554 [18:08] i try to display aplications in windows by x server [18:08] nandhi, #ubuntu and #ubuntu-es are only here to help with Ubuntu related issues. I'm afraid we won't be able to help you with Windows problems. [18:08] nandhi, oh, that's easy: download and install xming: http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ [18:08] i already instal xming [18:08] anyone know of a media player i can use that can play a mixture of multiple audio tracks? I have a video file with 3 audio streams that i wanna play back simultaneously at different volume levels mixed [18:09] nandhi, connect to the linux computer using putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [18:09] nandhi, you need to activate x-forwarding [18:09] i try to open an aplication in windows machine by a linux machine [18:09] FeasibilityStudy: I was talking to somebody earlier about install LAMP. I suggested he just get the packages from the repos but he wants to get the tarballs and install manually because "the packages are outdated by 6 months - 1 year, security fixes, and upgrades messing with his data" [18:09] one thing I got to say is I'm a bit dissipointed with Canocals decisions of late. I wish they would start submitting their changes upstream... [18:09] nandhi, you want to run a program in linux and have it display in Windows? [18:09] how can i active x'forwarding [18:09] edbian: he said more explicitly, don't use the repos... I personally noticed that drupal would update with _security_ fixes only, but the ubuntu package would stay old. Thus, if you were running a drupal site from the repos, AFAI could tell, you were running an insecure website with its flaws published. [18:09] yes yes that is what i want [18:09] FeasibilityStudy: I said that I don't believe there are any security issues and that updates are handled automatically by the package manager if you install from repos [18:09] can you help me?? === Castawayz is now known as SultansElephant [18:09] nandhi, yes I can, hold on [18:10] is there a program that lists all your current hardware in a gui? (like LSHW in a gui for ubunt) [18:10] is there a program that lists all your current hardware in a gui? (like LSHW in a gui for ubuntu) [18:10] ok thanks you [18:10] pewpew, please don't do that [18:10] FeasibilityStudy: See what danbhfive said ^ [18:10] How do I kill a zombie process? [18:10] magcius, kill -9 pid [18:10] crashanddie, not working. [18:10] I would find it hard to believe the Ubuntu devs would be so incompetent to allow a compromised LAMP server in the repos. [18:10] magcius, reboot [18:10] crashanddie, anything else? [18:10] danbhfive: Who told you to not use repos? [18:11] magcius: kill pid or sudo kill pid if the process is not yours [18:11] magcius, kill -9 is the strongest signal you can send to a program, if it doesn't shut down with that, not a lot will kill it [18:11] System Monitor says its waiting channel is do_exit [18:11] what are we talking about here? security issues? [18:11] crashanddie: was correcting srry [18:11] I prefer kill -10 ;) [18:11] FeasibilityStudy: BTW crashanddie just informed me it's actually the community who votes packages into / out of branches of the repos [18:11] crashanddie, I don't want to send it a signal, I want to give it no more CPU time. [18:11] crashanddie: not if the process isnt yours, then you need sudo [18:11] edbian: outbackwifi and the official community install guide (for drupal) [18:11] ActionParsnip, yep, but then the signal doesn't arrive to the program [18:11] edbian: might be, but they still would not allow a package in the repos that has known security vulns. [18:11] * outbackwifi o_O [18:12] outbackwifi: Are these LAMP security issues in ubuntu repos that has security issues? [18:12] crashanddie: indeed so it wont kill it, making it 2nd best ;) [18:12] nandhi: I would install Cygwin in Windows and connect with ssh -X user@linux_host then run the Linux program [18:12] outbackwifi: Are there LAMP security issues in ubuntu* ? [18:12] edbian: this is especially true of any kind of server! [18:12] magcius, -9 is sigkill, the program can not intercept that signal (unlike sigterm for example) and is killed automatically [18:12] edbian: not by design no [18:12] crashanddie, but it's not being killed! [18:12] Hello is there anyone here who can tell me how to upgrade my ALSA to 1.0.20? [18:12] outbackwifi: Then by configuration? [18:13] magcius, as I said, reboot [18:13] edbian: as and when these vulnerabilities are discovered, they are plugged and propagated as updates [18:13] crashanddie, no other solution besides killing X? [18:13] I would think that for servers more people use debian [18:13] or gdm or whatever? [18:13] ok i already instal xming but i can not acces [18:13] magcius, not that I know of [18:13] edbian: that would be true of all distros not just ubuntu [18:13] outbackwifi: But the repo software isn't updated as quickly as the package maintainer's version? [18:13] nandhi, hang on, my windows machine crashed... (typical) [18:14] outbackwifi: I'm sorry I just have never heard of anyone suggesting that downloading software from the repos is a bad idea. [18:14] edbian, it isn't [18:14] edbian: no, thats why i would recommend not using the repos for software like drupal etc [18:14] edbian: Whoever said that is wrong. [18:14] ok, is cause i really new using linux but i have to make a proyect [18:14] edbian, the only point outbackwifi is trying to make: don't download from anything but official ubuntu repositories unless you know you can trust that repository [18:15] outbackwifi: Is that correct? [18:15] * FeasibilityStudy is confused as to who said what [18:15] FeasibilityStudy, that's what she said [18:15] py vey [18:15] nandhi what happens when you try to connect [18:16] is there a program that lists all your current hardware in a gui? (like LSHW in a gui for ubuntu) [18:16] pewpew [18:16] pewpew, gnome-terminal [18:16] :P [18:16] pewpew: I dont use Gnome but I am sure there is something in the menu, likely under Administration menu [18:16] pewpew: http://www.techmetica.com/howto/how-to-install-the-device-manager-in-ubuntu/ [18:16] i can acces to the linux machine by windows machine with putty but i can not display any thing [18:16] FeasibilityStudy: outbackwifi was suggesting to somebody to use the package maintainer's version (from the web) for a LAMP server + drupal [18:16] pewpew: you mean benchmarking? [18:16] pewpew: whats wrong with lspci ? [18:16] nandhi, hang on [18:16] pewpew: I knew of a program that did that. The project didn't really take off though... Why do you need it? Maybe there is a better way? [18:17] pewpew I know it exists I sdont know the package name tho [18:17] ok [18:17] pewpew: Device Manager, after install form Synaptic it will be on the System Tools menu [18:17] !info gnome-device-manager [18:17] gnome-device-manager (source: gnome-device-manager): GNOME device manager based on HAL. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2-2 (jaunty), package size 106 kB, installed size 280 kB [18:17] pewpew: what program for windows are you thinking of? [18:17] can Truecrypt open the volumes created by the alternate install CD? [18:17] crashnddie: ok [18:17] edbian: I see nothing wrong with that IF the packages are verified against their hashes. However, there is also nothing wrong with the Ubuntu repos. === zaggynl_ is now known as zaggynl [18:17] nandhi, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsHuZJ5gORE [18:17] nandhi, this will explain what you have to do [18:17] Alright then we have it all figured out then :) === jacob_ is now known as Guest35021 [18:19] crashnddie, ok thanks im going to see it [18:19] hello [18:19] Hi jigs [18:19] huh [18:19] jigs: Do you have a question??

And dosfsck won't repair corrupted . or .. files. [18:24] Spi-ipod, as I said, #ubuntu is probably the wrong channel to ask.

The working USB is just ignored. === sopi_ is now known as _sopi_ [18:42] Hi [18:43] hello hypersonic [18:43] newbie002: the way it looks to me is that the bios on the computer where booting off the usb works is configured properly but not on the other [18:43] chris0626: it wasn't ubuntu's fault only, it's caused by incompatibility between X1.6 and the new kernel (which arose during UXA development) [18:43] I'm wondering where I can edit the "Add Startup Program" list without using the GUI. Does anyone know where it writes the config? [18:44] grawity: I wrote a spam filter at university. It's not a particularly hard thing to do, but I just want to use one, which seems to almost be harder than writing one. I use IMAP.

(server is a vps from ovh.net and no domain, only dyndns) [18:44] anyone know why pulseaudio device chooser wouldn't start up? [18:44] hypersonic: it'll be in ~/.gconf some place [18:44] just because it's opensource (mesa) doesn't mean it isn't relegated to having drivers based on public info. limited nvidia & ati support = bleh [18:44] firestart: I mean I can get both laptops to get to a non-bootable error message using a usb drive that doesn't seem to work at all [18:45] grawity: and again, for news there is no spam filter in Thunderbird. [18:45] newbie002: but you said that one of the laptops works just fine with the usb drive that works properly? [18:45] firestart: I have 2 laptops and 2 usb drives, one usb always fails (same error on both), the other usb works only on 1 laptop [18:45] I'm searching this package, could you help me in finding it on the net?

[19:24] Hello, I would like to install ubuntu with functional KDE4 and I am not sure if I should choose ubuntu or kubuntu, could anyone advise? I want to have as much applications as possible - so can kubuntu use the same repos or rpeos of the same number of packages as ubuntu? [19:24] i'm trying to vnc from my ubuntu computer to my windows pc. i'm able to view ubuntu from windows but not visa-versa [19:25] coleys: glitsj16: one moment [19:25] Also, sound stops and starts mid song when playing a music CD? [19:25] coleys: glitsj16: by the way, I just reinstalled everything pulse [19:25] why cant i use wildcards with apt or aptitude? [19:25] for instance [19:25] entropy: no problem, take your time to test the new configuration [19:25] lukas___: They both use the same repositories, and the desktop environment is entirely up to you, uhhh. Have you used linux before, if not I would suggest KDE just cause its similar to windows. [19:26] i want to do "sudo aptitude remove openoffice.org-*" [19:26] sheep45923, : you need to install a vnc server on your windows box [19:26] i have [19:26] it just tells me that there is no such package [19:26] coleys: glitsj16: be right back - reboot [19:26] where do I find vim commands? [19:26] sheep45923, what happens when you try to connect? [19:26] or nomachine, i like that better than vnc [19:26] hi all [19:26] Cerrdor: you could google for "vim cheat sheet" [19:27] i'm using KRDC. if i leave it to connect i think it eventually says access denied. but i can't be 100% sure [19:27] barfoos: will do thanks [19:27] my windows firewall doesn't flag anything [19:27] all ports are forwarded in my router firewall [19:27] I have installed the Dina font (pcf format) but can't use it in xterm ; what I have done wrong ? [19:28] sheep45923, you said *windows* firewall? [19:28] yes, my firewall on windows [19:28] coleys: I am familiar with debian, I used it for three years, so I can have the same level of integration with KDE4 with ubuntu as with kubuntu? [19:29] sheep45923, : try tightvnc [19:29] yep [19:29] coleys: What are the differences? [19:29] hi guys..I dont suppose it's possible in Ubuntu to have different backgrounds images on each workspace? [19:29] Is there a way to get things off the internet using a bash script?

Im a kde guy myself, It has alot more integration, like notifications etc. Gnome is uhh... I can't explain gnome :p... Its uhh... Ill let a gnome user explain it =P [19:30] mikebeecham: that's not currently supported in gnome unfortunately. [19:30] if you're trying to view your windows desktop in linux [19:30] mikebeecham: it is possible with some desktop environments, e.g. xfce. - with gnome, you could create a composition of 2 images in gimp. [19:30] gnome is like an angel with a mouth full of scotch kissing you [19:30] :-) [19:30] lukas___: Dr_Willis: Suppose I wanted to go to a website and pull the first 100 characters from the HTML and print it to my stdout. [19:30] coleys: no, mz question is not KDE or Gnome, but ubuntu OR kubuntu both with KDE [19:30] i am [19:30] All in the script [19:30] thomc: barfoos thanks anyway guys [19:30] edbian: theres tools to do that.. curl. wget. proberly a dozen other ways [19:30] gnome is lacking features while trying to ease things for the users. [19:30] debian = ubuntu [19:30] sNiper109: now thats funny, i don tcare who you are [19:30] edbian: then perhaps wget and cat [19:30] scrooge74: not true. [19:31] :p [19:31] neither do I [19:31] lukas___: Kubuntu = Ubuntu + KDE --- Ubuntu = Gnome [19:31] thanks guys! :) Any recommendations on which one to start with? [19:31] im kinda liking vim [19:31] scrooge74: im shuffling evrything right in gparted to try to salvage my install [19:31] edbian: trz wget http://www.ubuntu.org [19:31] barfoos: What does it lack? aside from being able to customize screensavers? [19:31] will be new to me but its fun learning new things [19:31] coleys: ah, okaz, that is the only difference? [19:31] edbian: stat with some bash scripting guides perhaps?

Can someone help me? === EmanSaad_ is now known as EmanSaad [19:31] Cerrdor: vim + pdb + File Explorer is nice setup [19:31] edbian: try, sorry, problems with qwertz [19:32] Surlent777: you can customize screensavers in the gnome-control-center. and i honestly don't wanna get started on that topic as it really would cost me a lot of time and nerves. [19:32] lukas___: Yeah. =P Just desktop environment aswell as default applications. =) [19:32] Dr_Willis: I am familiar enough with scripting I think. I was talking about which command: curl, wget, cat [19:32] barfoos: Well, thanks for that info anyway. I wasn't aware of that =D [19:32] coleys: great, that is what I wanted to know [19:32] jess: clarrify the exact problem to the channel. I cant recall ever havng to get wine to 'identify' a video card. [19:32] me either [19:32] coleys: glitsj16: I have completed part A of the guide, and I still have no mid and low sound. If I log into OS X, my sound is fine. I am using no external speakers. [19:32] edbian: first wget, then while zou have it, cat [19:32] edbian: well cat just moves data. :) so check the wget or curl man pages. [19:32] anyone: how can i colorize the username in xterm? [19:32] i have a problem with pidgin....i can't log into my yahoo account... [19:32] Inger check ubuntu forum [19:33] for fix [19:33] Surlent777: well in gnome it's in the preferences menu, but you could just install the "gnome-control-center" if it is not already installed, fire it up from a terminal and have a central place to configure stuff. [19:33] alberto2000: read up on the 'bash prompt howto' it gives all sort of neat Prompts [19:33] ok this may be daring but is there a way to drop the GUI for ubuntu and just use command line? [19:33] lukas___: Dr_Willis: Thank you! [19:33] hi, if i install dapper and upgrade, will the upgrade leave necesary drivers which aren't in newer versions or it'll remove it? [19:33] Dr_Willis: That's what I'm gathering the problem is from reading various WineHQ bugs and forums. Trying to run Spore, Spore says my video card does not meet min reqs, but it is a supported vid card according to Spore's own specs (Intel GMA x3100) [19:33] just stop xserver? [19:33] Cerrdor: just dont start the GDM service. [19:33] entropy: Did you download the ppc iso? [19:33] Surlent777: i personally like having a very lightweight desktop experience, like fluxbox or xfce, but with all the gnome stuff running (gnome-settings-daemon) [19:33] barfoos: I meant being able to edit them like with XScreenSaver or KDE's screensaver program [19:33] loof: it works :) thanks [19:34] Dr_Willis: I tried turning off compiz, then it gave me another error saying an older video driver is detected, but I just updated to the latest xorg drivers. [19:34] anyone know how to fix a corrupted ubuntu splash screen? ive got a 17" laptop, and spalsh is bad with hd install, fine with livecd [19:34] * sheep45923 says from his linux laptop [19:34] barfoos: I enjoy all the shiny tweaks of KDE and GNOME, but I also like LXDE and Fluxbox a lot [19:34] is that usplash package? [19:34] Surlent777: that's possible with gnome-screensaver-preferences [19:34] jess: disabling compiz for games.. is awlays a good idea. [19:34] i have a problem with pidgin....i can't log into my yahoo account...anyone has idea how to fix that? [19:34] Surlent777: well lxde is just openbox with some other stuff... [19:34] barfoos: no it's not...for instance, I can't make GLMatrix have DNA instead of Matrix symbols [19:34] Surlent777: but yeah i like *box [19:34] I have a Linksys WRT54GL how can i make wireshark sniff for activity on my other computer connected to the router? [19:34] IngerPoznas: you got an answer 3 minutes ago [19:34] jess: theres been some issues with the intel drivers - theres a ppa of newer ones i recall.. but i dont ahve the url. [19:34] One more question, I was amayed with ubuntu speed on AMD64 comparing to Suse, but for kubuntu I see there is i386 installation package - does that mean, that it is not optimized for i586 or i686? [19:34] hallo everyone [19:35] Dr_Willis: where is this bash file located=? [19:35] Surlent777: hmmm [19:35] Surlent777: no idea bout that hehe [19:35] jess: Control + alt + f12 disables compiz I believe, and enables aswell. [19:35] coleys: I downloaded 9.04 amd64, since I have an Intel Core 2 Duo [19:35] alberto2000: what bash file? [19:35] coleys: Thanks. :) [19:35] slestak_: i can't see it [19:35] hi. how much does using wine bog down performance? [19:35] could you repet it please [19:35] entropy: i think the 64 bit iso is the same [19:35] barfoos: Not that I mess with them much anyway, but yeah. Anyway, time to reboot and begin reconstruction [19:35] I have a Linksys WRT54GL how can i make wireshark sniff for activity on my other computer connected to the router? === root is now known as Guest40514 [19:35] anyone netbook-launcher savvy? I'm in need of some Netbook Launcher volume_exclude_list help [19:35] bambu: should not too much as it is not emulator [19:35] Dr_Willis: which file do i have to edit / where do i have to change those things? [19:35] is this the right channel for that question? [19:36] Is there a way to upgrade a server installation by disk and retain the data on the filesystem by installing via CD? [19:36] Dr_Willis: I went to both Intel and Xorg's site, as well as intellinuxgraphics and searched using Synaptic, so I think I have the latest drivers. Do you have suggestions on how to find that ppa you mentioned? [19:36] bambu: can not tell numbers [19:36] alberto2000: be more verbose do i dont have to rember. :) if you are refering to the bash prompt. its set in either the .bashrc or .bash_profile i recall. google for 'bash prompt howto' and it details how to set the bash prompt in huge detail [19:36] any way to view hardwaer info via terminal? [19:37] lukas___: dont need specifics, but just an idea of if and how much it slows things down cuz i have a shitty laptop with ubuntu [19:37] Dr_Willis: There was a bug on WineHQ about it not always correctly identifying vid card memory, but I don't know how to fix that in wine reg [19:37] Dr_Willis: ok thx alot [19:37] jess: i know there are updated intel/X in some PPA repository - i installed them on the wifes laptop 2 weeks ago. [19:37] hi, if i install dapper and upgrade, will the upgrade leave necesary drivers which aren't in newer versions or it'll remove it?

[19:41] coleys: hmm sry i'm noob idk. its ubuntu studio [19:41] Dr_Willis: Found the ppa repository, let me see if that fixes it [19:41] status /p [19:41] bambu: uh.. thats your problem Ubuntu studio is loaded with services. You should try... Openbox or fluxbox or lxde. [19:41] bambu: nevertheless, wine should not take you much CPU, but I am not sure about memory, maybe you will have to switch KDE/gnome to XFce or something to lower RAM. [19:42] Hi, I am trying to clone an image, but i am getting an unusual error message: http://pastebin.com/d16159010 [19:42] i have a ext2 partition that accidentally got wiped.. any way i can recover this?

[19:44] coleys: k thx [19:44] !find qmv [19:44] Lenin_Cat: if you use vnc, sometimes it gets toggled 180-out [19:44] File qmv found in r-cran-mvtnorm, renameutils [19:45] !info renameutils [19:45] renameutils (source: renameutils): Programs to make file renaming easier.

[19:46] coleys: can i use wine with openbox? [19:46] i had a disk with an empty partition table on.. then i used testdisk to recover and write the partition table back again.. but then i accidentally wrote mkfs.ext2 (don't ask why, brain freeze) instead of fsck.ext2, but interrupted that as fast as i could.. have i done irrepable damage to it now? [19:47] edbian: probelery some firefox extensions for that. [19:47] Edbrian: It's possible in most scripting languages [19:47] icehawk78: In bash? [19:47] hey guys... got vista installed on one sata disk, just installed ubuntu on an IDE disk, not sure how I should have grub/mbr/boot loader or whatever set up, any ideas?! [19:48] entropy: in general both files look ok, the only thing i noticed (line 50 of your paste) is that you have src-linear configured as resample-method for pulseaudio. Did you set this yourself for any specific reason? [19:48] garuff: set it on the mbr of the disk you are going to be booting.. Or on the linux disk.. and jusst tell teh bios to boot that linux drive when you want linux.. leaving windows drive alone. (ive done it both ways) [19:48] bambu: Of course, you can use anything you want with it. It's basically just the gui explorer.exe. (Meaning that it draws the close, minimize, and maxamize buttons, and your taskbar -- of course doesn't eat ram like explorer.exe ) =p [19:48] Dr_Willis: Suppose I got one of these extensions. I could then run firefox via a terminal (non graphically) log into a website, and somehow post the content of that site? [19:48] edbian: there are text based web browsers. [19:48] Dr_Willis: thanks, i'll try the qmv then [19:48] coleys: k thx i check it out [19:48] edbrian: I don't think so. I primarily use Ruby with Mechanize for web scripts [19:49] hey there everyone [19:49] glitsj16: no, and I didn't set it, that I'm aware of. [19:49] bambu: maybe, why do you need wine? Games, apps or only recording? [19:49] Dr_Willis: I am trying to write a script that logs into a website and posts info from that site. (Just a couple lines). I don't want to manually load a web browser (text based or graphically) that defeats the purpose. I want this to be automated. [19:50] icehawk78: You can use RUBY to go to a website and input data into a form and log into that site? [19:50] edbian: i imagine theres a way to do it in PERL.. theres always a way to do most anything in PERL... [19:50] Any ideas how to convert all oggs into mp3, an all folders? [19:50] edbian: why do you need to load a graphical browser at all? [19:50] glitsj16: I'm happy to set it to whatever might be better :) [19:50] lukas___: just certain recording apps, mainly this one called reaper [19:50] entropy: could be unrelated to your mid / bass trouble, but it's worth a shot to change that to either the default (comment out that line) or change it to "ffmpeg" [19:50] edbrian: Yes, I know you can do it in both Ruby and Perl, with the Mechanize gem/plugin [19:51] edbian: like WHAT exactly are you trying to post to a site (you say "info" but you're not clear at all where that info's coming from [19:51] lukas___: but i think i might just try some open source ones [19:51] edbian: would help to know what KIND of information you're changing on the site. why do you need to load a graphical browser? [19:51] is it possible to burn multiple iso files to a dvd, and at boot up select which iso to load? [19:52] loof: I don't want a graphical browser at all. I am trying to post a username and password to a page so that I can log in automatically. (Firefox will not for some reason remember this password for me. Doesn't seem to recognize the page as a password / username page. [19:52] entropy: restart pulseaudio after making the changes and check if you can get padevchooser working [19:52] i have a nivida 9600gt and when i put mode in 720p it looks way overscanned [19:52] loof: Once logged in I plan to print like 2 or 3 lines of code from that site to stdout. [19:52] glitsj16: how can I save as root in gedit? [19:53] edbian: ahh, that helps a lot [19:53] i tried to use wubi-add-virtual-disk and it seemed to lock up whilee files it was copying th [19:53] entropy: you would have to start gedit with gksu to be able to do that [19:53] loof: So how can I enter data in a form and press the enter button via scripts? [19:53] so now i have a /home and /home.backup but /home is reporting odd space [19:54] entropy: "gksu gedit" (the gksu is a graphical way to sudo btw) [19:54] edbian: sec === cabrey_ is now known as cabrey [19:54] the virtual disk should have 100 total size, but it's reporting 84gb free with only 38.2mb of files [19:55] hey [19:55] so im having trouble getting java 1.6.0_14 to work in firefox [19:55] i installed _13 from repository and that works fine [19:56] i tried linking the plugin from _14 to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [19:56] but it still uses _13 [19:56] how do see the total size of a virtual disk?

Also, is this pertinent to my tinny audio problem? [20:02] i found it, partprobe [20:02] just typing that command saves the problem [20:03] entropy: yes the ubuntuforums page on pulseaudio mentioned earlier. Can't confirm if it will solve those issues no, just trying to get your padevchooser etc. working so you can start experimenting with your sound sinks etc. to move streams [20:03] i need some help to configure linksys wrt54gl, i want wireshark to work over the router [20:04] there wouldnt happen to be a mac osx emu similar to wine in ubuntu?

Which driver should I use for a radeon 9200se. radeon? fglrx? has fglrx dropped support for this video card? [20:18] i am gettng ipw2200 firmware errors for a while http://pastebin.com/f58be11f1 .. i am still connected .. but is it some bug in jaunty ? [20:18] ldvx: ati has been removing cards from their fglrx drivers. so it may be 'radeon' and thats it.. :) [20:19] thanks Dr_Willis [20:19] ldvx: check the ati web ssite perhapos for what cards are still in fglrx. (i dont know which ones) [20:19] where can I get a driver for a sound blaster live sound card? [20:19] omfg, this is helarious, it's like a kernel.org link, ok I get it, ubuntu is inferior to windows in networking [20:19] ldvx: most likely - if the restricted drivers tool says it dont need fglrx .. then its radeon :) [20:19] !ati [20:19] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:20] david_: my soundblaster lives have always worked with no extra 'drivers' needed [20:20] my mic isnt working [20:20] Having sound problem.

[20:20] david_: i had to twiddle with my settings to get the mic working for me on several cards lately [20:20] sound work's no problem [20:20] how do I do this? [20:21] theres the sound-recorder tool to test with and the mixer/sound controll panels in the settings menus [20:21] app-> sound-> sound recorder [20:21] Uh... I think I may have some issues. I'm currently in a shell before anything has loaded, and sudo, vi, nano and even ls all claim to be "not found" [20:21] that tool has a 'open volume control' menu item i used the other day :) [20:22] Is there any way for me to back up (at a minimum) my /var/www folder and my MySql databases? [20:22] icehawk78: you could always boot a live cd and access the files. [20:23] icehawk78: try the full path to the commands.. could be your PATH setting is messed up [20:23] I see it but it doesn't test [20:23] echo $PATH [20:23] icehawk78: try that echo command to see what the path curently is. [20:23] How can i get ~bin in $PATH ?

[20:25] icehawk78: Hmm.. try 'echo /bin/*' [20:26] you should see sevarl commands that are in that dir. [20:26] Ah, okay [20:26] icehawk78: was that first \/ in your path there? or just a typo? [20:26] I suddenly got a problem with my videocard [20:27] entropy: what versions of pulseaudio and padevchooser are you using? i'm looking up a PPA repository with the latest pulseaudio related packages in the meantime .. not much else i can think of [20:27] Sorry, no, that was a typo.

[20:28] maggidk: tell the channel your video chipset (its going to be asked for anyway?) [20:29] I thought he said 'grayish' :) [20:29] tried a reboot [20:29] it's all lagging on me now [20:29] Dr_Willis, : he did say "gayish" so i'm assuming his video chipset is "gayish" too :D [20:29] plus it is a compaq [20:29] so that's probably his problem [20:29] SNAP [20:30] entropy: you could try the https://launchpad.net/~rlinfati/+archive/ppa repository, that has all the latest sound related packages, probably more recent versions than you have right now [20:30] PPA's are handy :) some times it can be hard finding what you need in them. === CaptainChaos is now known as Groo [20:30] Dr_Willis: I have a potentially stupid question: Is it possible a hacker accessed my system and deleted a number of system commands in order to cripple my system? [20:31] icehawk78: if echi /bin/* shows the commands then they are there. [20:31] icehawk78: could be some massive file curription.. or the things just got set non-executable some how. [20:32] icehawk: did you password protect your machine? if so, then likely no. if your password was "linux01" then maybe, but still unlikely. [20:32] icehawk78, : have you tried rebooting again?

[20:33] !clone | ldvx [20:33] icehawk78, : is this in ubuntu 9.04? [20:33] ldvx: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [20:33] Willis: It shows a total of 34 commands in /bin [20:33] Also, no, it's 7.10 [20:33] oh =/ [20:33] Hi.

[20:36] Dr_Willis: did you change account password? that is the problem: I've changed it. It didn't ask my before [20:36] pisecx: i used to have both passwords be the same. [20:36] Hey all, I am on Ubuntu Jaunty and I cant seem to get my Svideo to work I want to be able to watch movies on my TV which is connected via an Svideo cable. My video card is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. Any suggestions? [20:36] you can change the 'network manager password' using the info at that URL.

If I add an entry "127.0.1.1 mydomain.localdomain mydomain.dev" then restart apache I don't get there. what could I be doing wrong?

My video card is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. Any suggestions? [20:39] it's in the repository i think [20:39] maggidk: so you unplug the display, reboot and it goes back to normal? [20:39] this is starting to make me mad now there is 2 thing's I cant use my webcam and my mic the webcam there isnt a driver for but if ym sound work's then so shouldnt my mic [20:39] does anyone know a really fast way to sorta checksum a large a file? i want to verify that a backup process occured properly (i use rsync but there is some clock skew on the network) so i'd like to list all the files in the main tree and the backup tree along with their file sizes and a quick checksum and then diff the two lists, md5 takes long on 4 gig files, maybe just checksum every 1000th block of a file? [20:39] Dr_Willis: you're a real doctor! =) [20:39] dr_willis I already tried all the obvious things [20:39] Dr_Willis: thanks a lot [20:40] pisecx: asking how to disable that login thing gets asked a lot in htere.. so i researched it and found how trivial it was. :) [20:40] rebooting, and unplugging and rebooting etc. etc. [20:40] what does a nosmb boot parameter do? [20:40] wolf23: read/follow the info the bot just said when i typed !medibuntu [20:40] Dr_Willis: I think the problem is that is't not very clear that you have to change password for the _group_ [20:41] maggidk: and what chipset is the laptop using for video? [20:41] Dr_Willis: i open the site but i dont know what to do? [20:41] Dr_Willis: because "login" is kind of group [20:41] pisecx: yea.. too many passwords for too many things. [20:41] wolf23: you add the medibuntu repository. then install the stuff.. [20:41] chrones: install the ati drivers for linux (9.6) and plug your svideo cable in and turn it on in the control panel [20:41] help! [20:41] Okay, so I've loaded a Live CD onto my server to attempt to backup the files on the internal HDD (It's a repurposed laptop). However, when I look in the "Places" menu, the only media listed is "255.0 MB Media" (It's an 80 GB HDD) [20:42] wolf23: click where it says 'repository howto' and follow along. [20:42] Mobile Intel 945GM Express Dr_Willis [20:42] hello...

If I add an entry "127.0.1.1 mydomain.localdomain mydomain.dev" then restart apache I don't get there. what could I be doing wrong? [20:42] is there some program, with which i could create midi files? like a on-screen keyboard or something like that [20:43] maggidk: then you may want to update to the latest Intel/xorg drivers. theres been some issues with some intel cards. I had to update them (via some ppa repository i cant find now) to get tv out working right on the wifes laptop [20:43] !intel | maggidk [20:43] maggidk: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [20:43] for the record, I'm using vmware from windows vista at the moment if that makes a difference, but, I've got all of my stuff set up properly for vmware [20:43] maggidk: i followed --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 [20:43] icehawk78, : did you by any chance go into the bios and change your settings around?? sounds like you changed ahci/ide modes in your bios [20:44] ok thanks. I'll check it out [20:44] Dr_Willis: I think, it'a bug. Ubuntu should change login password. [20:44] icehawk78: you have to mount the HD to see it there [20:45] Loof: Nope. The closest I did recently was to run the bios HDD Self-Test (which I was surprised to see it pass - prior to that, I just thought the HDD had crashed) [20:45] I am trying to watch tv in my pc using a Pinnacle PCTV Stereo (chip saa7134) but I am not able to find any channel... I use TvTime... [20:46] any idea? :P [20:46] loof, sweet thanks [20:46] can anyone recommend a CLI RSS aggregator? [20:46] there was a way to find out the refresh rate of the mouse. no? [20:46] raylu snownews [20:46] Mike_lifeguard: Typically when I boot into a livecd, it shows me the available options of drives to mount. I'm slightly noobish, and noobish enough to not be very familiar with manually mounting a drive. [20:47] Dr_Willis: can I ask you one more question? It's about pgp. My friend has created pgp key and sent it to my. I have imported it and trusted. So it is in trusted group now. Then he created a file, encrypted it and sent me via email. I have received it, saved and tried to decrypt. But it failed. It even didn't asked me for a password. [20:47] is there a way to make the shortcuts from gnome-panel/Places/ to point to specific folders? [20:47] icehawk78: yeah, IIRC it should automount the disc... give me the output of fdisk -l in a pastebin? [20:47] hi. is there a lightwight call monitor for avm fritzfon for ubuntu? [20:47] pisecx: ive not messed with pgp enough to have ever even done that. [20:47] raylu php all you need is to use http://us2.php.net/simplexml [20:47] Mike_lifeguard: it's an internal HD, i believe [20:47] here4thegear: that didn't answer my question at all [20:47] Dr_Willis: never mind, I'll google it :) thank and bye [20:47] lwizardl,: np dude [20:47] Dr_Willis: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: skype-common (= 2.0.0.72-0medibuntu4) [20:48] raylu: was that actually meant for me? [20:48] Mike_lifeguard: yes. about icehawk78's situation [20:48] any idea how to manually put wireless password into keyring? [20:48] always asks evertime i start laptop [20:48] and doesnt let me save [20:49] raylu: shouldn't matter if it's internal or not... it should automagically mount in a live session -- but if not, then it should be mountable, which is where icehawk78 and I are headed :P === joshthecoder_afk is now known as joshthecoder [20:49] Mike_lifeguard: right. just pointing out that internal drives aren't automatically mounted to my knowledge [20:49] icehawk78, : check your ahci/ide drive setting in the bios, turn it to ide if it's set to ahci and reboot. [20:50] Mike_lifeguard: Hm. I'm having slightly more troubles - the live session doesn't want to run the terminal. [20:50] Checking now to see if anything will run. [20:50] heh [20:50] raylu: I'm sorry, didn't you ask for a way to read rss feeds via command line interface? [20:50] hellom why when i do lock for screensaver when i resume put the pass of user don't work i need to switch user to work! before on ubuntu 8 was working ok... thx =) [20:51] is there a way to search apt-cache or synaptic for just console apps? [20:51] here4thegear: yes. and while there are a million better options for parsing xml in my terminal, i asked for an aggregator, not a language i could write one myself in [20:51] ...no, great. I kinda hate my life right now. The File Browser loaded and then died. Also, the calculator, Firefox, and Evolution Mail also don't want to boot. [20:52] onnod: not really [20:52] :( ty [20:52] is there a way to make the shortcuts from gnome-panel/Places/ to point to specific folders?

(so we get a feeling what happens) [21:49] dericku: then I suggest 4-6 gigs [21:49] onnod omg :) [21:49] guntbert, not exactly [21:49] hello need to make sure of something i install windows and using ubuntu i do a parition for boot, and partition for / root directory , let's suppose windows break need to format , the ubuntu will break too if windows break? thx =) [21:49] What I wanted to know is if removing pulseaudio would make a difference. I read that it introduces a lot of latency. And that's my main problem with that machine [21:49] dericku: of course you could trim the install [21:49] guntbert, I'll make a regular boot and take a screenshot [21:50] @kad_: Are you asking whether formatting your linux partitions will affect windows? [21:50] tunnuz: ctrl+alt+f1 verbose boot, see how it goes [21:50] tunnuz: I was asking especially for the "key" BUG in front [21:51] Has anyone been really far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? [21:51] gez is it just a matte rof removing pulseaudio [21:51] Wrin, no i'm asking whether if windows need to be formated, ubuntu will affect ? won't work if i format windows? although i do boot partition alone [21:51] i dont understand why you/we cant just use alsa [21:52] !pulse [21:52] ever since pulse it seems sound has become an issue [21:52] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [21:52] houms: Great! That is exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks! [21:52] @kad_ If your windows install is on its own partition, formatting will not hurt linux [21:52] can someone recommend a good backup program for ubuntu to backup my media? [21:52] a flahs drive [21:52] flash. [21:52] guntbert, oh, so yes, it's exactly like that [21:52] does anyone know what the advantage is to keeping pulse [21:52] @kad_ If it is on the same partition, it will probably render it unusable [21:52] http://tunnuz.net/sl.jpg [21:52] if alsa is what you use [21:52] ? [21:52] ehm [21:52] lol [21:52] i forgot to flip the image [21:52] the new fetures of pulse audio. which a lot of people dont use... [21:52] @kad_ Though that would probably mean you´re using a strange file-version install of linux [21:53] Gitykins, what? [21:53] tunnuz: that kenel version sounds a bit strange to me (I am using 2.6.28-11 right now) [21:53] Doc! [21:53] what features would that include [21:53] mrwes: !~ [21:53] heh... [21:53] houms: see the !pulse web site/wiki info [21:53] an1o nvm I was kidding [21:53] guntbert, yeah, wait, I'll reboot to see the exact name [21:53] Wrin, aha if linux is on another partition but i didn't do a boot parition alone! it won't hurt also right? [21:53] so removing it has no effect really === solid_liq is now known as solid_liqAFK [21:53] guntbert, oh, it's a Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server Edition [21:53] houms: removing it can break things badly from what ive seen in here... [21:53] @kad_ Are you using grub? === DaZ is now known as diskajzd [21:54] well seeing how in my case sound is broken anyway [21:54] Dr_Willis: What things? [21:54] Wrin, yes [21:54] i dont really know what to do [21:54] I tried to extend a partition but df still sees it like the old size. why? [21:54] guntbert, ok the version is Ubuntu 8.04.2, kernel 2.6.24-24-server [21:54] Kartagis, i think need to write the table than do restart [21:54] gez: ive seen many people in here remove pulse audio then - have to fight (or reinstall) to get normal sound back working.. at the minimum you would have to recongifure gnome and every app to use 'alsa' instead of pulse. [21:55] guntbert, and I have kernel 2.6.24-23-server as well [21:55] @kad_ Hrmm Im not really familiar enough with it to say for certain, but I think that your bootloader is installed off-harddrive so the boot should work fine after - you will probably have an unusable entry for windows afterword though [21:55] gez: of course you could set the apps to use alsa without removing pulse also [21:55] Dr_Willis: Well it isn't that bad [21:55] @kad_ afterward* [21:55] Wrin, u use LILO ? [21:55] But that would fix the latency problems? [21:55] Dr_Willis: [21:55] greetings from latvia [21:55] I'm getting a new HD. If I copy all my data from ubuntu partitions onto fresh partitions on the new HD, will that work ok? [21:55] @kad_ grub, just not real familiar with the bootstrap process [21:56] gez: no idea.. ive not heard what the actual problem is/was. :) i dont have any issues with pulse. [21:56] how do i install java [21:56] and then compile a program [21:56] I haven't issues either. The problem is a friend's machine which is old and it has a single core processor [21:56] Wrin, wonder the difference between LILO and GURB ! [21:56] i installed java jdk using, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [21:56] Audio seems to be very affected by other applications [21:56] hi, could someone tell me the correct way to setup a bond on jaunty, ive tried several ways but not successful so far... [21:56] is that enough === solid_liqAFK is now known as solid_liq [21:57] lilo sucks and grub is mediocre [21:57] tunnuz: ok, earlier you said 24.2.4-23, and that was a bit strange, no problem though, mind you I won't be able to help much, just wanted to clarify a bit ... [21:57] I guess that would be the answer :p [21:57] yes :) [21:57] For instances, If he's running Hydrogen, every notification kicks it out of tempo [21:57] hi, i just upgraded to 9.04 and my screen got really dim. When I change the dimness nothing happens, could someone help? [21:58] onnod, somehow I managed to boot in safe mode with the last kernel [21:58] Gitykins: thats not exactly helpful :-) [21:58] guntbert, ok [21:58] ;) [21:58] which vers of ubuntu to chose 9.04 or 8 ? [21:58] tunnuz: have you looked into acpi? [21:59] Ok, so I installed 9.04 and now whenever I try to type a quote I have to hold the key a moment and it isnt a normal quote mark its tiny - any ideas? [21:59] fine [21:59] dericku: depends on your needs. [21:59] dericku: may as well try the latest. 9.04 [21:59] lilo has better error trapping and boots floppy disks [21:59] onnod, no, I don't even know what acpi is [21:59] I tried to extend a partition but df still sees it like the old size. why? [21:59] looking for text level jpeg metadata query tool. [21:59] onnod, but I have a root shell right now [21:59] Kartagis: have you rebooted since the changes? [22:00] tunnuz: I googled a bit, and there have been such issues, sometimes removing a usb-stick or disabling a wireless module or so have been workarounds [22:00] Gitykins, what updated on gurb? not found in lilo ? [22:00] Hey all [22:00] Grub is a much more flexiable bootloader the lilo. Grub2 (the next gneration) adds even more fetures and flexiablilty. [22:00] I am getting no sound coming from my Audigy 2 on Jaunty [22:00] any help [22:00] tunnuz: look into /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:00] Grub is way more portable, handles many more filesystem types, and is much more flexible with mbr changes and you don't need to reinstall for little os changes [22:01] guntbert, I don't have usb sticks or wi-fi, it's an home server and just stopped to work right after 2.6.24-24 [22:01] how do i check what name server is responsible for a reverse zone? [22:01] plus you can edit it from gui [22:01] Hi, I have a .ttf font file here and I am wondering how I install it into the system? Thank you. [22:01] onnod, I am there [22:01] Hello all [22:01] !who | Gitykins [22:01] Gitykins: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:02] tunnuz: look for the line with kopt=root=UUIDXXXXXXXXXX and add "acpi=off" [22:02] caty: for a single user. You could put it in their /home/username/.fonts directory (make the dir if itss not allready there) [22:02] caty copy it to .fonts, that's all [22:02] tunnuz: of course, first back up the file ;) [22:02] I wonder if we can create a permanant bootable Live USB of Ubuntu. Is it possible ? [22:02] Is anyone addressing keyboard issues on 9.04? [22:02] ShNaYkHs: yes it is... [22:02] Kartagis, i can't find .fonts [22:02] onnod, I found it, but it's commented [22:03] caty: as i said.. MAKE the directory... [22:03] *facepalm* thanks guize [22:03] There are a soft or something to do that Dr_Willis ?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [22:03] ShNaYkHs: depends on the specifics.. theres the usb-disk creator tool in ubuntu, or unetbootin that can make bootable 'flashdrive' setups with or without persistant save files. that work like the cd. [22:03] sorry was a wrong chan [22:04] caty: its a directory/folder named .fonts use the file manager. [22:04] tunnuz: edit the line, save, and "sudo update-grub" [22:04] caty: You might have to turn on view of hidden files [22:05] Dr_Willis ah we can have a persistant save files using unetbootin ? I'll see [22:05] thanks [22:05] Hmm.. gnome file manager dosent have a special 'fonts://' location does it. [22:05] onnod, I get segfault [22:05] (I'm not from the live CD, I'm just in safe mode) [22:05] ShNaYkHs: actually unetbooting dont do that.. the ubuntu usb-disk maker can. at least i dont think unetbootin can do it automatically [22:05] tunnuz: also try to remove splash and use quiet boot [22:05] ShNaYkHs: also check out the pendrivelinux.com site for other tutorials [22:06] ok thanks Dr_Willis [22:06] onnod, after the segfault I lost the control of the shell, it's printing something like a stacktrace [22:06] my wireless card works fine in ubuntu when it logs into the wireless network on bootup. When I try to connect to another wireless network without rebooting, it can't connect. Any ideas? [22:06] Why is it that I can have more programs running in Windows than in Ubuntu/Linux, with the same amount of memory and pagefile/swap? [22:06] What debian version is jaunty based on?

[22:10] i have ffmpeg.. but i tried to use it in CLI and it isnt working [22:10] Kale: WinFF is the frontend for ffmpeg [22:10] Zelda: some can even show the 'command used' (ffmpeg with lots of options normally) so you can learn what they are doing [22:10] well my system goes through frequent crashes, I thought maybe if I update the kernel it will be better [22:11] Zelda: then you are doing it wrong. :) try winff. its easy to figure out [22:11] I doubt there's a flac codec for rhythmbox, jackstraw [22:11] Ratapoil, you updating via the update manager or command line?

[22:16] entropy: and what version is your ubuntu [22:17] guntbert: about my modem setup under 904, i need instructions [22:17] what the default mcpu or march gcc optimization used on ubuntu 8.04 64 bit?

[23:23] wait tyowan its radeon 9000 sows its opensource i bet .. [23:23] cheeseman: making any sense? [23:23] kapil, I did. and 1280x800 showed up as the highest value. I passed it with xrandr --fbmm 1280x800 but nothing changed :( [23:23] right ?? [23:23] danierie: Yes [23:23] wait tyowan its radeon 9000 sows its opensource i bet .. [23:23] i did it before [23:23] and whick one is good? [23:23] danierie, : yep. depends what you wanna do tho. i'd use vnc [23:23] keri: it's hard for me to know what the problem is because there are a number of things that could be causing it. This may be helpful: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Cannot_send_mail [23:23] chevdor, why? [23:23] L3d: And you can't install Ubuntu? [23:23] tiyowan_ kinda... quickly but the shell seemed a bit 'simple', I miss apt-get and so on to install the dmraid package I must have to keep going [23:24] no can in safe graph [23:24] thomc: i think it is working. i sent e-mail to my gmail and replies and it worked both ways [23:24] Kalmi_ I am installing (trying) on a RAID 10 array [23:24] hope i can get from other people too [23:24] it kinda hangs around when normal [23:24] >_< erm ok....ive got no CDs.. i [23:24] its installed [23:24] keri: good. It should work if you can send from one account to another. [23:24] i think...lol [23:24] tiyowan_, sorry...was on the other system. forgot the time [23:24] L3d: Okay...so when it's installed, do the graphical problems go away? [23:25] Kalmi_, tiyowan_ and btw, thanks for answering :) [23:25] no vid tho.. fullscreen [23:25] Can someone recommend additional window management tools similar to GnomeShell? I really like GnomeShell and would like to see what else like it is out there. [23:25] i'll try and find another memory stick, but thanks cheese :) [23:25] blondie18: the -fbmm is for the size in mm (millimetres). [23:25] metalfan___: np - Are you booted into the liveCD? [23:25] <_CommandeR_> Papageno, KDE? [23:25] tiyowan_, im in the live sys, the lvm is mounted as root (im new to lvm, but /target contains the ubuntu install) [23:25] tiyowan gonna try the opensource ones and restart , nut wich pack ?? [23:25] but [23:25] L3d: Your installation of Ubuntu should be using the correct drivers by itself. [23:26] chevdor, sorry... I don't really know much about these things... But could you just copy an already fully-installed ubuntu to the raid array using a livecd? [23:26] thomc: thank you/ i went in and relooked at the account and seen the problem [23:26] tiyowan_, i just did a "grub" "find /grub/stage1" "root (hd0,4)" "setup (hd0)" which did again result in grub error 5 at boot [23:26] dangit and thats safe graph [23:26] _CommandeR_: GnomeShell isn't Gnome. GnomeShell is a Gnome Panel replacement for Gnome that provides very good management of Gnome's viewports and application launching. It's not a window manager like Gnome or KDE. [23:26] chevdor, *couldn't you [23:26] keri: No problem. [23:26] Kalmi_ hmm that's an idea, not sure this would make it clean since there may be specific things in a live cd [23:26] aint getting nothing from display .. :( [23:26] kapil, anyway, I tried with --fn 1280x800 too and it didn't work neither [23:26] blondie18: i think you need something like "xrandr --mode HxW" [23:26] metalfan___: Wait a minute....you're trying to reinstall grub to an lvm? [23:27] L3d: Ok, which version of ubuntu? 9.04? [23:27] have to admit im not that keen on commandos right now .. [23:27] danierie, : if you're trying to just connect from linux to a windows machine, use terminal server client [23:27] jaunty [23:27] tiyowan_, im not really sure. looks like /boot is on /dev/sda5 but /dev/sda1 is somehow installed with lvm [23:27] danierie, : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n33yl1jAqgQ [23:28] tiyowan_, i guess the rescue system from 9.04 takes care of mounting the lvm [23:28] loof: thanks [23:28] HOLY [23:28] metalfan___: this sounds strange. Could you do a fdisk -l /dev/sda and pastebin the results? [23:28] youtube is playing foronce [23:28] please hepl with alsa compile 1.20 [23:28] chevdor, you don't copy the livecd... You install on some other machine and you copy over the full install using livecds... That should work.... well... you will need to edit grub's config manully and install grub... [23:28] tiyowan_, lvm was an install option, how is that strange? === morphix is now known as Guest73058 [23:29] danierie : if you're trying to view your linux desktop you should use vnc, and a vnc client on your windows machine. [23:29] metalfan___: Did you need to use it? :) [23:29] tiyowan_, no, not really [23:29] loof: ok works vnc also the other way round? [23:29] tiyowan_, but as a default i just accepted it. worked before [23:29] tiyowan_, on another system [23:29] metalfan___: Okay try this then. [23:30] chevdor, ubuntu installs are hw-independent... I can plug my external usb hdd with a full ubuntu install on it into any machine it just works (um... most of the time) [23:30] tiyowan_, let me see if i can start sshd from the rescue system, other system is two floors down.. [23:30] Kalmi_ that won't work in my case First I don't have another machine, but I have an image of my previous install. But since the goal is to use my new RAID 10 array, I need the dmraid module to be used, otherwise, I'll see no filesystem. [23:30] you can setup a vnc server on either ubuntu or windows, and then use a vnc client on the other machine to connect [23:30] how do i turn off the system beep when i press delete/backspace in nautilus.. the gnome - sound settinsg doesnt seem to have an option for it anymore === fernando is now known as Guest24744 [23:31] metalfan___: sudo grub, root (hd0,1), setup (hd0), quit - that's the general way to reinstall grub [23:31] but for accessing windows using RDP (the windows builtin remote sharing stuff) you need to use something like terminal server client; [23:31] !boolean [23:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about boolean [23:31] I installed Ubuntu on a USB flash drive to use as a live boot; does anyone have any suggestions as to how that setup could be distributed easily?

I want to use Linux API functions === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [23:33] i saw that youtube video and it sucks [23:33] raven7230: you'd be better off asking that question in #hardware.

[23:34] VirusTB, : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzDbvd5knmQ but basically if your key is longer than 20 char [23:34] raven7230: #hardware [23:34] tiyowan_: yes..hardware..but are you knowledgeable with hardwares? [23:34] cheeseman, loof, VirusTB: Please take the WPA discussion elsewhere or through pm [23:34] <_CommandeR_> matrixblue, Well, i rebooted with the USB stick and still i get this message = http://pastebin.com/m38bb2b5e [23:35] i tried entering in #hardware. they're no help [23:35] cheeseman: uh, you probably don't even know what's going on in it [23:35] raven7230: I can give you some advice briefly in PM if you would like? [23:35] raven7230: Try googling - this channel really isn't for that sort of thing [23:35] tiyowan_, i stoped long time! lol im busy watching a movie [23:35] thomc: sure...^_^ tiyowan_ well... personal opinions are better [23:36] tiyowan_, are you sure that hd0,1 does point to the grub files? because find /grub/stage1 returns (hd0,4) [23:36] tiyowan_, is it not possible to start sshd from the rescue system? i just failed [23:37] metalfan___: are you getting grub error 5? [23:37] tiyowan_, yes === mathieui is now known as Guest20677 [23:38] tiyowan_, the partition table...great [23:38] metalfan___: That's usually the sign of an invalid parition table [23:38] metalfan___: Run a sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the results, please. [23:38] tiyowan_, if you tell me howto start a sshd....then im would do that [23:39] <_CommandeR_> Hi I get an error when i boot from USB = http://pastebin.com/m38bb2b5e [23:39] metalfan___: Umm...don't you have physical access to the system? [23:39] tiyowan_, i do...but even with that a pastebin is hard [23:39] tiyowan_, its two floors down. no usb stick available [23:40] metalfan___: Google for your laziness, then. :P [23:40] tiyowan_, i remember how the archlinux install cd allowed just to run sshd, after the network is configure [23:40] d [23:40] tiyowan: haha, true, true [23:41] Anyone know why xVid MPEG-4 has choppy audio in Ubuntu 9.04? [23:41] wrin: your computer sux [23:41] lolz [23:41] tiyowan_, im not lazy, i did "chroot /target /bin/bash", "/usr/sbin/sshd" but connecting to the server results in PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 maybe its because of /proc not mounted [23:41] tiyowan_, the ubuntu cd just makes it overly complicated to run a sshd [23:41] loof: ...it worked in the last version, so stuff it [23:42] wrin: hah, ok [23:42] you using pulse or alsa? what sound driver? [23:42] loof: not sure honestly [23:42] is there a method to upgrade 8.04(that horrible dell version) to 9.04 on a mini 10v without doing a full re-install?

[23:46] jeffce: Yep [23:46] _CommandeR_, It's a full-install, right? [23:46] jeffce: Well, you might experiences some glitches after the upgrade - google before upgrading [23:47] anyways the problem I had earlier is still there. I can't even change, or delete the files need to get ubuntu connected to the repositories. I tried even a installing the latest version and it can't even due to the problem I am having with the connection. All I can get into is the software sources, and nothing else related to updating, changing, or deleting from ubuntu.
