Maybe there's a deb package somewhere though [01:09] aviS [01:09] Chungwa: This is the same as installing using the graphical interface in |Applications|Add/Remove or using Synaptic if you know the package name. But this only works if the package is in a repository that is enabled in your ubuntu [01:09] seth: if you get your whole system updated it may help [01:09] faileas, avis* [01:09] faileas: but go ahead.. ebaby is the one with the non-cooperative graphics card.. a via chrome 9.. vesa doesn't work, failsafe just restarts x, ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't show a command line (only snow) [01:09] ebaby: go ahead..

I dont want my pwd's getting stolen or anyting and was wondering if i used ubuntu live cd.. would the possible virus's not be run from teh windows [01:49] johninlex: Will try... [01:49] hope that makes sense [01:49] webbhawk_h4x0r42: Ubuntu won't get infected just because Windows has a virus [01:49] i'm trying to access our home network via ubuntu and installed samba. i've shared one of my directories in ubuntu for testing, but from the ms side, it's asking me for a username and password. i tried to use my login in ubuntu, but it doesn't work.. can anyone help? [01:49] I have tried ndiswrapper and madwifi and cant get it to work [01:49] webbhawk_h4x0r42: the rule with computers is there's no black magic [01:49] johninlex: Just state your problem. Someone is bound to know what to do about it. [01:49] if there was a trojan or possible key capture program.. i would be safe using ubuntu live cd [01:49] what wifi nic is it? [01:49] mib_2dc6mp: well, I just found a few things that might help - they're a bit more up-to-date [01:49] webbhawk_h4x0r42: Windows programs don't run on Ubuntu [01:49] webbhawk_h4x0r42: makes sense, if you boot to live cd, you can mount the windows drive and read the data [01:50] webbhawk_h4x0r42: Viruses, trojans, and spyware are windows programs [01:50] Gnea that is excellent [01:50] Jordan_U figured it out. I needed to switch to gecko to get things working. mplayer just hates my system, I guess. thanks anyway! [01:50] johninlex: Which nic do you have? [01:50] mib_2dc6mp: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=491735 [01:50] Gnea I am open to whatver you want to tr [01:50] webbhawk_h4x0r42: Therefore viruses, trojans and spyware won't run on Ubuntu [01:50] webbhawk_h4x0r42: the windows keylogger will not run as windows is not running, its linux [01:50] webbhawk_h4x0r42: Again, no black magic [01:50] wj32: so i thought right.. it would be much safer this way [01:50] mib_2dc6mp: still looking through it - looks like all you probably need to do is download and compile the firmware [01:50] gvsa123: depends on how you set it up [01:50] wj32: i didnt get that saying you said.. no black magic one... [01:50] johninlex: lspci [01:51] webbhawk_h4x0r42: oh its just that some people think that computers do magical things [01:51] webbhawk_h4x0r42: never mind [01:51] it is a theros wireless card ar242x, I have tried my windows driver [01:51] webbhawk_h4x0r42: what i said wasn't entirely true because there might be viruses and spyware for linux in the future [01:51] faileas: just installed samba, restarted the daemon, right clicked on one of my folders from /home and shared it. [01:51] wj32: kk.. so i would be safe.. even if windows was infected [01:51] Jordan_U: I am going to reboot and try the older kernel.. Hopefully that will work.. Thanks === Aryan is now known as Guest39485 [01:52] webbhawk_h4x0r42: but right now there's no viruses and spyware for linux (probably 1 or 2 actually) [01:52] faileas: i found it from the ms side but i can't access it... (so safe) [01:52] wj32: really u think so.. virus's for linux ? [01:52] !virus | webbhawk_h4x0r42 [01:52] webbhawk_h4x0r42: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [01:52] webbhawk_h4x0r42: i mean in the wild [01:52] gvsa123: one moment there's a good howto on setting up samba i use [01:52] wj32: u think it could be possible in the future [01:52] faileas: is it this one? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 [01:52] rww: webbhawk_h4x0r42: there are a small few linux virii but they are not very wild at all [01:52] I have a .img file I would like to mount, is there a program to do this? Or something to extract the contents? [01:52] I think most anti-virus software for Linux isn't to detect Linux viruses. it's to detect Windows viruses so that you don't pass them onto your friends who use Windows. [01:52] gvsa123: no http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-gutsy-samba-standalone-server-with-tdbsam-backend [01:52] webbhawk_h4x0r42: Linux is popular on servers, not just desktops [01:53] i agree with BWF89 [01:53] loafers: i can't rememeber how to do it offhand but you're looking at something called loopmounting [01:53] same with anti-virus software for Mac OSX. [01:53] I tried that but I think it only works for .iso files [01:53] mine is .img file [01:54] is the "linux" community working to keep virus out .. even in the future [01:54] and cdemu doesn't support that file either i think [01:54] webbhawk_h4x0r42: They are very fast at patching known vulnerabilities compared to MS [01:54] loafers: have you tried mounting it using -o loop? [01:54] mib_2dc6mp: okay, what's the result of this command: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep alsa [01:54] johninlex: System -> Hardware Drivers and look for everything that has Atheros in it. Tick the box in behind of ?Atheros Hardware Access [01:54] I'm getting like 6 dependency issues with deluge-torrent in Hardy [01:54] interesting.. [01:54] I'll try it again [01:54] loafers: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149197 [01:55] webbhawk_h4x0r42: Usually it gets done in a day or two, whereas it can be a long time in Windows [01:55] eseven73: pastebin the specific errors? [01:55] faileas: oh that's fine. i've been able to setup using the link i sent, i was just hoping things were much simpler now. last time i had ubuntu was with feisty. [01:55] and .. does the ubuntu live cd run pretty fast.. or would yall recomend a diff version to use [01:55] ok [01:55] webbhawk_h4x0r42: i recommend you install ubuntu! [01:55] webbhawk_h4x0r42; the CD will run considerably slower than an install [01:55] ActionParsnip, thanks. [01:55] Gnea I am typin git now [01:55] webbhawk_h4x0r42: I heard that Firefox vulnerabilties are patched in nine days on average while for IE it's over 200 days [01:56] gvsa123: what should interest you is that with the tdbsan backend, you can use your accounts on the box to access samba. ;p [01:56] yeah but i cant. im not on my machine .. i have ubuntu on all my pc's [01:56] webbhawk_h4x0r42: oh i see [01:56] rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/99344/ [01:56] im at my grandmothers visiting.. [01:56] johninlex: click the box in behind Atheros Hardware Access Layer(HAL) and Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards and restart the computer. [01:56] she can barley turn the pc on.. much less learn linux [01:56] faileas: from windows? [01:56] Gnea I get quite a few things how to I create the web link [01:56] eseven73: have you tried running apt-get -f install [01:56] not yet [01:56] eseven73: what happens when you do sudo apt-get -f install" [01:56] eseven73: as it says in what you pasted === maco_ is now known as maco [01:57] gvsa123: yup [01:57] mib_2dc6mp: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep alsa > alsalist.txt && cat alsalist.txt | pastebinit [01:57] eseven73: ah, okay. Try that and then try the install again and let us know if you still have problems :) [01:57] eseven73: i've had that error lots of times, and -f install has always fixed it [01:57] well any account thats on the linux box anyway [01:57] will the live cd be very slow.. hard to get some work done? im gona be working online.. on websites [01:57] gvsa123: i have one file server and a mix of linux and windows boxen- this setup works brilliently [01:57] webbhawk_h4x0r42: It ran decently enough for me, but isntalling it is 1000% better. [01:57] rww: wj32 its saying now i can install those libs, is it safe though? [01:57] faileas: cool eh.. i'd like to keep it simple for now. jsut me and my wife sharing/playing movies from each others' pc... [01:57] webbhawk_h4x0r42: well if ubuntu crashes for some reason you're going to lose all your work [01:58] webbhawk_h4x0r42: it depends very much on your hardware, so we're not going to be able to tell you specifics. [01:58] yeah [01:58] usr13 that would be easy if it was just a restricted driver, [01:58] eseven73: pastebin the new output, please [01:58] Jordan_U: I rebooted and tried the older kernel and my CD Drive does not work..So I guess that means it is a hardware problem. [01:58] webbhawk_h4x0r42: If you really need a faster system you could use a lighter distro [01:58] eseven73: it usually gives that error if you were installing something and you interrupted it [01:58] yeah .. puppy linux maybe [01:58] Gnea /f9206dc8 [01:58] dsl i heard about also [01:58] webbhawk_h4x0r42: I like Damn Small Linux, especially if you run it with the toram option [01:59] toram? [01:59] rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/99345/ === filsuf is now known as barata [01:59] webbhawk_h4x0r42: Installs it to the ramdisk, slower to boot but runs really fast [01:59] eseven73: that just means its ok, just type Y and press enter! [01:59] eseven73: yup, that looks fine. Go ahead and hit Y to continue and press enter. === barata is now known as filsuf [01:59] ok thanks [01:59] Gnea I am not seeing the alsa-libs in there, i am pretty sure I still need to compile them, though I downloaded them from the alsa site and extracted to the desktop, though there is nothing on the desktop (it is nice and clean) [02:00] eseven73: but you should still get the latest version from the website [02:00] eseven73: deluge-torrent.org [02:00] webbhawk_h4x0r42: Plus DSL downloads in a couple of minutes for most people [02:00] mattbd: when i use a live cd.. can i install thing still or no. like if i needed a chat application could i d/l and install xchat [02:00] wj32: yeah i did that first, then got the errors, so then i tried to install it from repos [02:00] mib_2dc6mp: do you get any results from this command? ls -l /usr/lib/libasound* [02:00] or some.. firefox extensions.. firebug and stuff [02:00] eseven73: the problem is you had to run apt-get install -f first [02:00] webbhawk_h4x0r42: Depends on the distro. In Ubuntu you can install it to your current session [02:01] webbhawk_h4x0r42: on the Ubuntu LiveCD, yes; apt-get and synaptic work just like on a full install. [02:01] eseven73: not that the website version doesn't work [02:01] webbhawk_h4x0r42: But when you reboot it won't be there [02:01] thats fine.. is there a way to create a custom livecd maybe [02:01] webbhawk_h4x0r42: Ubuntu Customization Kit [02:01] wj32: so what exactly does sudo apt-get install -f do ? [02:01] faileas: are you aware of any package from synaptic that simplifies working "mshome" [02:02] eseven73: it fixes the packages by removing or adding packages so dependancies are all met [02:02] !info libasound2 [02:02] libasound2 (source: alsa-lib): ALSA library. In component main, is optional.

Where do I install "loop"? [02:03] is there such a thing as bare unix? can you install bare unix on a system? [02:03] loafers: you execute sudo mount -o loop [imgfile] [mount point] [02:04] ac3_0f_spades: Not sure what you mean [02:04] loafers: oops, its sudo mount -t udf -o loop [imgfile] [mount point] === cwe_R is now known as cwe_santay === maco_ is now known as maco [02:04] mib_2dc6mp: you can also see what package /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 belongs to like this: dpkg -S /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 [02:04] !unix [02:04] UNIX is an operating system created in the '70s, which has many direct derivates and inspired systems like Minix and !Linux. Most "UNIX-style" systems try to somewhat adhere to the POSIX standard.

[02:05] yes mattbd [02:05] eseven73: yes it is :D [02:05] when i type perl and hit return, it wont return anything. I have to do ctrl -c to break it.

If you want to run a perl script, issue "perl filename.pl" [02:06] ac3_0f_spad3s:Maybe FreeBSD would be good for that [02:06] loafers: is it a dvd or cd [02:06] if i make anysound my mic amps it lol [02:06] mattbd is that minimal?

[02:08] Dexi, Pastebin. not in channel [02:08] ac3_0f_spad3s: If you want something unhackable OpenBSD is the way to go [02:08] eseven73: perhaps ask for help in #archlinux on this server ?

Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [02:21] so ntfsck works?

[02:22] s3a: #pidgin [02:22] i want it to always show status on those window things [02:22] sudobash: did you read the link I sent you? [02:22] Raylz, k thx [02:22] it looks like it is being distributed [02:22] http://downloads.sourceforge.net/linux-ntfs/ntfsprogs-2.0.0.tar.gz?modtime=1190969237&big_mirror=1 [02:23] shear, that is characteristic of an unclean mount or fsck detecting issues with the device [02:23] thanks rww ill make a point to get to that sooner or later [02:23] ebaby: sorry i had to answer the door, you can get a terminal in recovery mode this way: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo#recoverymode [02:23] Gnea now I get a keyboard interrpt find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp" > mialist.txt && cat mialist.txt | pastebinit [02:23] haha, just compiling the new gnome :) [02:23] Jack_Sparrow, I did run fsck, and posted the result in that thread [02:23] Gnea am i supposed to take the -name out [02:23] Jack_Sparrow, do you know how to fix it? [02:24] ahhhh ntfsresize -fi /dev/hdXY [02:24] mib_2dc6mp: well, you're looking for anything that -starts- with the mib_dsp, so it needs to be "mia_dsp*" [02:24] !fsck [02:24] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [02:24] sudobash: "ntfsprogs" is a collection of programs for managing the ntfs file system, and is available as an Ubuntu package anyway. ntfsck doesn't exist yet, but will eventually; in the meantime, install ntfsprogs and run the command on that page [02:24] !info ntfsprogs [02:24] ntfsprogs (source: linux-ntfs): tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.0-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 262 kB, installed size 672 kB [02:24] so ntfsprogs is obsolete but ntfsck is not ready yet? [02:25] Gnea I added the * but I still get a keyboard interrupt [02:25] shear, for the best answers pastebin the output, dont make people search through a thread looking for it [02:25] Package ntfsprogs is not available, but is referred to by another package. [02:25] mib_2dc6mp: hrm, try it like this then: find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp*" [02:25] sudobash: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:26] wait my install must not be up to date cause it worked in california [02:26] ebaby: oops i should have told you to skip down to like the 5th image, thats where it shows for terminal [02:26] Jack_Sparrow, without reading the thread, someone else trying to help won't know what has already been suggested to me [02:26] ntfsresize -fi /dev/hdXY how well does this work? [02:27] sudobash, gparted live is a better bet [02:27] i'm trying to set up a raid 5 array as described here: http://bfish.xaedalus.net/?p=188 but when I run the commands to edit /etc/mdadm/mdadm/conf it says permission denied. how can there be permission denied to edit a file if I am using sudo? [02:27] Gnea that is what I have find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp*" > mialist.txt && cat mialist.txt | pastebinit [02:27] i am trying to check fs from 3000 miles away [02:27] Jack_Sparrow: that command is (surprisingly) for filesystem checking, not resizing. [02:28] yeah it says it needs to be checked with chkdsk /F now [02:28] crap [02:28] Gnea I get a kbord interrupt catched [02:28] macbook pro 3.1, intrepid, 2-finger vertical scrolling doesn't work. I have the appletouch.fdi from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro3-1/Intrepid and it still doesn't work [02:29] Gnea I must be missing something in the command [02:29] any ideas? [02:29] eseven73: I am trying to fix a prob where install is fine but after install and reboot I get no visual/gui/etc. I believe this page - "https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/54867" describes what is happening to me but since I am new I am not 100% certain. your thoughts... [02:29] any ideas on fixing the ntfs errors? [02:29] why does it tell me permission denied when I run this command? sudo echo "DEVICE partitions" > /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf [02:29] from 3000 miles away? [02:29] sudobash: Again, ntfsfix *might* do it [02:29] ok [02:30] how do you prevent the usb pendrives being auto explored? === DarkSmoke is now known as DS-Sleepin [02:30] mib_2dc6mp: right, all I'm saying is, try it without doing the output and pastebin [02:30] it says it actually just marks it as dirty [02:30]  I have a problem getting grub to boot windows xp on an extended partition. Windows is on sda6 and grub comes up with error 12 when I try to boot it. The relevant section of my menu.lst is at http://pastebin.com/d6fa86776 Can anyone tell me how to boot windows from an extended partition using grub? [02:30] so windows checks it [02:30] Gnea oh ok [02:31] why is the current package for gnuoctave only version 3.0.0 (ubuntu 8.04 [02:31] so maybe if i mark it and restart it and set windows as default os to boot then it will chkdsk when it boots but will it fix errors? [02:31] ebaby: im prolly the worse person in here to ask about display issues or networking sorry :) [02:31] Gnea find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp*" nothing happens [02:31] sudobash: the only reason to put yourself through the torture of ntfs is if you have windows. if you have windows, reboot into windows and then ask in ##windows for help. [02:32] mib_2dc6mp: okay, and I just tried it too like that - the "KeyboardInterrupt caught." means that pastebinit won't send an empty file [02:32] well i am 3000 miles away ubuntu to ubuntu trying to fix a dual boot XP partition : ( [02:32] Gnea so I need some drivers or something? [02:32] mib_2dc6mp: all this means is that there is no firmware installed for your soundcard at all - now that we have that confirmed, let's get the firmware [02:32] Jack_Sparrow: can you lend an ear? [02:32] Gnea sounds good! [02:33] Can someone tell me how to mount my windows partition please?

[02:35] oops yeah [02:35] PosterBoy, sudobash: I think that should be sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /media/disk /dev/sda1 shouldnt it? [02:35] lol yeah im intoxicated though [02:35] so forgive me [02:35] Has anyone had issues with time in f-spot? My photos show the correct time with every other app, but in F-spot they show the UTC time. [02:36] PosterBoy: If you put sudo before the mount command that will give you permission [02:36] JonathanEllis: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/devicename /path/to/mountpoint (or replace ntfs with ntfs-3g if writing to the ntfs partition requried) [02:36] Gnea I do [02:36] does anyone know how I would go about allowing multiple programs to access my webcam at once (possibly by relaying data) ?

Im sorry if I seem doubtful - just want to understand what I am doing before I am doing it. Are you saying that the map commands will make Grub think hd0,5 is now hd0,0? That would make sense I guess so I will try it - but this is an old PC so it will take a good 10 minutes before I can get back into Linux after trying to boot windows so I ju [03:00] I'm looking for something kinda like onenote?

I'd give it a try if I had kubuntu [03:01] ebaby, most people move the other way... [03:01] n8tuser: I didnt realised I can try it from the grub prompt. How? Can I test it without actually booting windows then? [03:02] hbah427: you dont need Kubuntu or KDE [03:02] JonathanEllis-> press escape [03:02] ebaby: it's easy to understand, when you're used to having everything automated to work for you, to having to do work for yourself. [03:02] you can run KDE apps in Gnome and visevera [03:02] eseven73 people that used to be here a year ago and i've known for almost 5 years. [03:02] ebaby: and announced it trollishly earlier.

[03:03] I'll try it then. [03:03] n8tuser: No its fine. I will try it - just curious how to try it from the grub prompt thats all [03:03] whats a good and easy to use FTP server??

[03:05] I'm trying to use OpenDNS on Intrepid, I'm following the instructions on this page: https://www.opendns.com/homenetwork/start/device/ubuntu however when I use the command gksudo network-admin in Terminal, nothing happens. [03:05] mib_2dc6mp: okay, got your alsa-firmware downloaded and unpacked? [03:05] Mike2202: did you just try to set the DNS in NetworkManager before following OpenDNS's instructions? [03:05] JonathanEllis-> you wont miss much, you are not here 24/7 so, you can miss lots of things too.. [03:06] Mike2202: that's the easiest way === jiflipifli is now known as jifli [03:06] Gnea I downloaded it and extracted it to the desktop, but it put it in /home [03:06] the_squircle: No I didn't, where can I find NetworkManager? [03:06] Mike2202: there should be a little network icon in one of your statusbars [03:07] n8tuser: No I mean I will forget what has been advised me already and what has been tried already. I am just trying to work out how to save the lines with my name in them into a textfile so I have the chat history before I reboot [03:07] Mike2202: right-click that and go to edit connections [03:07] mib_2dc6mp: what do you mean? did you run ./configure already? [03:07] Gnea no [03:07] JonathanEllis-> okay, i dont know how to do that with your chat client [03:07] Mike2202: skip the network-admin step and do the stuff under "To avoid having your settings get revoked..." further down. [03:07] mib_2dc6mp: okay... well, your desktop is in /home, so that's fine [03:08] Mike2202: and then instead of doing the "sudo ifdown" line, do "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [03:08] what should i use instead of ndiswrapper [03:08] Gnea should it look something like this? cd alsa-driver-1.0.12rc1 make clean make mrproper ./configure --with-cards=intel8x0,mia --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes make sudo make install [03:08] Mike2202: OpenDNS's instructions are out of date (those would have worked with Hardy, iirc) hence the problems. [03:08] mib_2dc6mp: let's make sure you've got everything else installed to: sudo apt-get install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext linux-headers-`uname -r` [03:08] mib_2dc6mp: not yet [03:09] mib_2dc6mp: forget alsa-driver, don't need it [03:09] rww: Oh okay, thanks for your help. You too the_squircle. [03:09] :D [03:09] mib_2dc6mp: the only thing to worry about is alsa-firmware, otherwise you run the risk of messing your system up [03:09] n8tuser: Found it. Now I can reboot with confidence! [03:09] why cant I expand my ubuntu partition into the unallocated space on my hard drive ??? [03:10] JonathanEllis-> okay, cool [03:10] Blister: you might not be able to do it while booted into ubuntu, try booting the LiveCD [03:10] Blister: are you trying to expand it while running Ubuntu from it? 'cause that won't work. You need to resize from a copy of Ubuntu not on that partition (e.g. from an Ubuntu/gparted live CD) [03:11] ok thank you both [03:11] rww: close enough :p [03:11] :) [03:12] Gnea it said reading package listts.. done, building dependency tree, reading state info... done note, selecting libncurses5-dev instead of ncurses-dev gottext is already newest version. E: Couldnt find package linux-headers-uname -r [03:12] How can you prevent ubuntu from turning your backlight all the way off when adjusting to ambient light? [03:12] mib_2dc6mp: it's literal: linux-headers-`uname -r` === eli_ is now known as dotblank [03:13] Gnea so i need to redo the command? [03:13] mib_2dc6mp: you need to use ` instead of '. ` is the key to the left of 1 on US keyboards.

[03:20] the_squircle, i dont even think i have any that are not [03:20] RukusX: is the USB device directly plugged into the port? [03:20] mib_2dc6mp: okay, let's give this a go: cd alsa-firmware-1.0.17/ && ./configure && make [03:20] aiuw: Keep one off, while you do the other? :P [03:20] mib_2dc6mp: let me know when it's finished and/or if there are any errors [03:21] wfoster, I'd like to use both... :| [03:21] the_squircle, yes [03:21] aiuw: I'm no good with Ubuntu, so I can't help you. I wish I could. [03:22] aiuw: Anyone else will be happy to help you though. [03:22] aiuw: what soundcard do you have? [03:22] help!! sound stopped working !! [03:22] RukusX: now... you're sure that both the device and the port is USB 2.0? If they both are... maybe it's the driver that Ubuntu is using for your motherboard and they're running at 1.1 speeds. That's all I can think of [03:22] RukusX: Try to add "pci=noacpi pci=routeirq" at the grub boot options [03:22] Gnea, good question. What command do I need to issue to see it? [03:23] aiuw: lspci | grep audio [03:23] jimmy0i7: Give us some more details, what do you mean it has gone. You can't hear any at all? Can you still hear the login noise? [03:23] !sound | jimmy0i7 [03:23] jimmy0i7: 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 [03:23] Gnea no such file directory === miguel is now known as Guest46481 [03:23] mib_2dc6mp: what?

[03:24] Gnea it doesnt like alsa-firmware-1.0.17/ [03:24] jp_sf, i added the pci=routeirq maybe i will try that noacpi. What is peculiar, my speeds are quick, at least 3.7mbps until it seem the disk cache gets filled. then slows right down 1.1mbps [03:24] Gnea, yes. [03:24] !laptop | aiuw [03:24] aiuw: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [03:24] jimmy0i7: try running a fsck, make sure nothing got hurt on the Linux partition after removing the windows partition, maybe the sound driver's sector got damaged or something... [03:24] aiuw: see if you can find it there - you may need to turn pulseaudio off [03:24] Ok [03:25] jimmy0i7: Do you have pulseaudio installed? If so go to 'Terminal' then type 'pavucontrol'. [03:25] the_squircle, how do i run fsck ? [03:25] the_squircle, thanks for the help, but how would i change the driver? is that not part of my kernel? i've booted my last 3 to see if any difference and none [03:25] jimmy0i7: Terminal > type 'pavucontrol' > Output Devices > Tell me if it says anything. [03:25] jimmy0i7: The easiest way is to `sudo touch /forcefsck` then reboot [03:25] RukusX: 3.7 I think it is slow a usb 2.0 should be more than 10MB/s [03:25] jimmy0i7: do what Flannel says [03:25] quick question... been using Ubuntu for sometime, but have never had this issue.... got a new laptop, it seems to have loaded audio drivers, but I can't hear anything. A google yielded nothing. [03:26] is there something like the gnome-system-monitor resource graphs, which keeps historical data? [03:26] mib_2dc6mp: okay, you downloaded it to your Desktop, right? can you do this: cd ~/Desktop/ && tar xvf alsa-firmware-1.0.17.tar.bz2 [03:26] jp_sf, got ya. this is angonizingly slow [03:26] jimmy0i7: Do what Flannel says, he knows more than mysrlf. [03:26] !netbook [03:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about netbook [03:26] RukusX: it wouldn't be part of your kernel... are you sure that it has the ability to perform any faster?

[03:26] wfoster: I was just answering the [03:27] wfoster: I was just answering the 'how do I fsck' question. I haven't payed enough attention to know if fsck will fix something or not [03:27] !laptop > Saviq [03:27] Saviq, please see my private message [03:27] RukusX: I don't think I can help anymore... (i'm not an expert in much), but i'm sure someone else can... i'll do some googling for you though :) [03:27] anyone know how to low level format (write all 0's) using a ubuntu cd in live mode? [03:27] the_squircle, sure. thanks for the help. :) [03:27] hey guys can someone help me with the battery settings on my thinkpad x61? i want my laptop to dim on battery (10% brightness) and go to 100% on AC power. also i want it to dim when idle, but "undim" when i touch the mouse. right now it dims on idle and doesn't undim. [03:28] Gnea: yeah I'm actually looking for help for the ume-launcher thingy that's not specific to notebooks [03:28] DJCanadianJeff: yes [03:28] Gnea, it doesnt like it, Moved the folder to the desktop and it is alsa-firmware-1.0.17 [03:28] Gnea got it [03:29] is there a bash command todo it? [03:29] mib_2dc6mp: okay, can you get there via terminal? [03:29] Gnea i did the first command, the make command and it worked [03:29] DJCanadianJeff, CAREFULL use of the 'dd' command :) [03:29] mib_2dc6mp: awesome. now: sudo make install [03:29] DJCanadianJeff, therrs also specic 'disk zero' and 'disk wipe' commands/tools out there. [03:29] in windows if i press and hold ALT while typeing out a 4 digit ascii code such as 0044 ... it will output the ascii chr 44 which is a , if i remember right ... is there a similar feature in ubuntu? [03:29] Gnea done [03:29] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda ??? [03:30] or i guess it would be a feature with gnome [03:30] DJCanadianJeff, writing all 0's is NOT the same as a 'low level format' its just zeroing out the drive [03:30] mib_2dc6mp: now, try this: sudo modprobe snd_mia [03:30] DJCanadianJeff: yes, that will do it. [03:30] DJCanadianJeff, thats the basics of it.. you may want to use a BS size option.. be care full with that command and /dev/hda may NOT be right.. ubuntu normally uses sd## [03:30] m [03:31] Gnea I did it, but nothing seemed to happen [03:31] mib_2dc6mp: that means it loaded. let's see the output of dmesg again: dmesg | pastebinit [03:31] DJCanadianJeff, what are you trying to hide?? :-P [03:31] which is the best thing todo before installing a new copy of ubuntu... LLF? or writing all 0's? [03:31] Rugxulo: it's not your place to ask. [03:31] jp_sf, anymore ideas? [03:31] DJCanadianJeff, example Create ISO of CD Rom... dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/$USER/Desktop/file.iso bs=2k [03:31] Gnea, but I just did ;-) [03:31] Gnea /f3f0cfa89 [03:32] jp_sf, what does the pci-noacpi do for me [03:32] Rugxulo: why do you want to know? ;) [03:32] 'cause it sounds like a lot of trouble for nothing [03:32] jp_sf, what does the pci=noacpi do for me?

I meant programs and methods [04:40] If you don't want to pay for that you can always pick up a spindle of blank DVD's and go to town [04:40] mib_2dc6mp: just press the Print Screen key [04:40] Oh! [04:40] gotcha [04:40] hey, I was looking at a number of desktop screenshots, and I noticed a number of applications (calendar, weather forecast) right on the desktop.....what would I look for in Synaptic to find them? [04:40] mib_2dc6mp: yes, alsamixer and sound prefs [04:40] Gnea right, what do you want me to capture (have open) [04:40] Geoffrey2: screenlets I think [04:41] or gDesklets [04:41] Geoffrey2, i use screelets. wanne see my screenshot? [04:41] Anyone have any idea what might be wrong with my nVidia GeForce 6200? [04:41] mib_2dc6mp: get 'em both if you can [04:41] Hi Gnea, i'm still having wireless trouble [04:41] I think it may be driver related [04:42] tyta: okay, were you able to give WPA2 a go? [04:42] yes i set my wireless router to wpa2 [04:42] tyta: and is the system able to hook up to it via ethernet? [04:42] Hbah427: Nvidia, propriatery drivers no ? ve you tried System>Administration>Hardware drivers ? [04:42] Gnea ok I did it and image shack gave me a url [04:42] yes, i suppose i could go upstairs [04:42] Gnea they all seem to be thumbnails [04:43] mib_2dc6mp: should be able to click on one to make it bigger [04:43] tyta: okay, because you're going to need to pastebin some things [04:43] Gnea it is img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshots2.png [04:43] hi i have video player problems tried vlc xine movieplayer they shutdown when attempting to play a video [04:44] mib_2dc6mp: i don't see it :( [04:44] malakhi, run vlc in terminal and ull get an error messege [04:44] message* [04:44] mib_2dc6mp: what is the url for the thumbnail? [04:44] jp_sf: I've spent all night going from Hardy to Intrepit and back, using both OS's with the proprietary drivers. Once I do that, however, after I click two or three times, the system freezes and I have to reboot. [04:44] <^Manu> nobody can help me here? [04:44] Intrepid* [04:44] !ask | ^Manu [04:44] ^Manu: 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. :-) [04:44] <^Manu> i dont understand what kubuntu thinks it's doing with xorg.conf anymore :( [04:44] <^Manu> i asked the question above.. [04:44] <^Manu> about a page up [04:45] anybody knows where to buy ASUS eee pc online? im from the philippines [04:45] Gnea that sucks [04:45] ^Manu, i think it does the same as ubuntu.. [04:45] <^Manu> which is> [04:45] <^Manu> xorg.conf is virtually empty.. [04:45] aka totally empty? [04:45] <^Manu> i installed xserver-xorg-video-intel and it didn't seem to do anything. [04:46] ljsoftnet: have you tried eeepc.asus.com? [04:46] is it yet possible to boot to ram AND use casper persistence? [04:46] <^Manu> are you sure you have the correct location? [04:46] ^Manu, Ubuntu lets X do as much autoconfiguring as possible [04:46] Gnea try img122.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmo3.png [04:46] hi [04:46] would you guys recommend KDE or GNOME [04:46] Anyone know if rsync can preserve NTFS permissions?? [04:46] Gain, gnome.. [04:46] and what are the major pluses of both [04:46] Gain: that's a heated question... :P [04:47] Gain: I like gnome [04:47] Hbah427: could be a lot lot of things could be AGP conflict etc etc cpu speed, [04:47] ya, I used gnome previously when i had ubuntu installed [04:47] imperfect-: i think so try the GUI for rsync 'sudo apt-get install grsync' [04:47] <^Manu> what location? [04:47] but KDE 4.1 looks damn nice [04:47] Gain: my advice is to try both... use the livecd of ubuntu and kubuntu... and see shich one you like better... [04:47] want to give it a shot [04:47] <^Manu> evowill: location of what? [04:47] I have an Nvidia video card but for some reason Synaptic now wants to install Geode display drivers. How do I tell it to stop asking me? [04:47] Gain: a google search might bee of great use :-) [04:47] Odd-rationale: are there any GNOME apps only? [04:47] <^Manu> jordan: so why isn't X autoconfiguring my video properly then? [04:47] Thus stu=inks, none of the links imgshack provides work [04:47] or will they work across both [04:47] Hbah427: do you have compiz running ? [04:48] imperfect-: it has all kinds of options you can choose [04:48] er by Synaptic I mean "Update Manager" [04:48] hey anyone installed this on a supermicro h8dce [04:48] ^Manu, X should use the intel driver if it's available, you can also force it to use it by adding an explicit line to your xorg.conf but you shouldn't need to [04:48] jp_sf: I do not. [04:48] <^Manu> I will send you a PM [04:48] It won't work no matter what. [04:48] <^Manu> why wouldn't it use it? [04:48] <^Manu> okay, thx [04:48] mib_2dc6mp: holy... that's a lot of options [04:48] Gain: both gnome/gtk apps and kde/qt apps will work on either gnome or kde... or xfce for that matter... [04:48] Hey all. I just made the jump to 8.10 and my surround sound isn't working, can someone give me a hand or a link to get it up and running. SoundBlaster LIVE 5.1 [04:48] Gnea oh did you get the piic to work? [04:48] <^Manu> jordan: it seems to be available.. i installed the package.. [04:48] Was working 20 minutes ago on 8.04 [04:48] <^Manu> what else can i do? [04:49] mib_2dc6mp: yeah, the second one worked [04:49] mib_2dc6mp: it looks really.... weird [04:49] I have a Compaq S4100NX, 2.5GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor, 1GB of RAM and an Al-in-one card reader and DVD bruner stolen from an old computer [04:49] okay, I'm new and I really need help! [04:49] mib_2dc6mp: like it's missing some selections in alsamixer.... there aren't anymore to the left? [04:50] Hbah427: when you crash have you find anything in syslog ? [04:50] !ask | sandeep [04:50] It's a PCI card btw [04:50] sandeep: 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. :-) [04:50] I should probably check syslog... [04:50] how do i do so the sound i hear on my desktop goes into the microphone without having one? ------ if u understand what im saying but dont know the answer can u help me rephrase? i suck at it lol [04:50] Gnea, Try "alsamixer -c 0" [04:50] However, I'm kinda new... [04:50] Thanks, I have just installed version 1 of ubuntu weaknet and I can not get the wifi netowrk to work properly. [04:50] Gnea no just 2 lines [04:50] Jordan_U: he's only got 1 entry. [04:51] Jordan_U, is that like stereo mix in windows? [04:51] Gnea, Even with the "-c 0" ? [04:51] Hbah427: yes you need to digg in syslog, but it is very verbose, at least it will gives a hint to what the problem is [04:51] My locale seems to have randomly changed from American English to British English. My spellchecker keep smaking my correct spelling incorrect as a result. How to fix? [04:51] not as soon as you install that [04:51] If someone has krfb and has invited me to control their desktop, how do I do that? [04:51] mib_2dc6mp: can you turn them up? [04:51] Gnea there is a ton more to the right though [04:51] ok last question, are there threads to show people's desktops. I am looking for some ideas on customizing my own [04:51] DigitalFiz, It's how you get to the actual settings for the card rather than the pulseaudio volume controll [04:51] Gnea just more mixers and meters [04:52] mib_2dc6mp: i see that, and that's what's strange. I've never seen 'monitor' so many times like that. [04:52] Gnea: I have connected to my wired network [04:52] Gnea yea that seems FUBAR [04:52] Ifind the previsous version of ubuntu weakner labs works perfectly. [04:52] Why could i easily apt-get bitchx this morning and now I can't? [04:52] Was it taken from the repository? [04:52] Jordan_U, ah thanks because i been looking for a way to do stereo mix so i can feed my skype conversations over the radio [04:52] because you need install [04:52] Gnea what do you want me to turn up? [04:52] is there an easy whay to install a keyboard layout [04:52] apt-get install bitchx [04:52] yes yes [04:52] i know [04:53] gaz_: It hasn't been in Ubuntu for good long time. It has some serious security issues that weren't going to get fixed. [04:53] My locale seems to have randomly changed from American English to British English. My spellchecker keep smaking my correct spelling incorrect as a result. How to fix? [04:53] why could i easily apt-get install bitchx this morning... and now? [04:53] mib_2dc6mp: both of the Lines [04:53] Flannel: but it's so pretty. ;) [04:53] Gnea done [04:53] tyta_linux: okay, sudo apt-get install pastebinit [04:53] gaz_: Did you just upgrade? [04:53] nm figured it out [04:54] mib_2dc6mp: see if you can: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp now [04:54] yep, it's screenlets, thanks [04:54] gaz_: Check otu irssi instead.

[04:54] what the heck [04:54] gaz_: Which version of Ubuntu? [04:54] mib_2dc6mp: also, is this a PCI card? [04:54] gnea: thanks, i did that, it's finished [04:54] linuxlerner, This is probably the place to be :) [04:55] definitely the place to be [04:55] irssi... okay [04:55] thanks [04:55] +1 on place to be [04:55] Gnea no such file (u think it goes bye bye with pulseaudio?) [04:55] is it yet possible to boot to ram AND use casper persistence? [04:55] linuxlerner, not ubuntu no. not last time i checked and asked [04:56] hi, when linux 2.6.28. is coming to ubuntu ?? [04:56] tyta_linux: iwconfig | pastebinit [04:56] v4vijayakumar, 9.04 [04:56] Gnea yes [04:56] i found post from 2007 that said it wouldnt work [04:56] mib_2dc6mp: hrm.... lsmod | grep snd_pcm_oss [04:56] I'm on 8.04 with an Nvidia video card, everything working peachy. Now update-manager wants to install Geode display drivers?? How do I tell it I don't want them so they will stay out of the "updates available" dialog? [04:56] but that was also for 7.XX [04:57] mib_2dc6mp: this one? http://www.echoaudio.com/Products/Discontinued/Mia/index.php [04:57] Hey all.

[05:10] Gain: / jp_sf: staroffice IS openoffice [05:10] Gain: but I'm an agnostic I use sometimes Abiword Lotus symphony too [05:10] jp_sf: seriously?

I suppose you could try turning all of the selectors in alsamixer up and see if you can hear anything... do you have hydrogen installed? [05:11] jp_sf: i assume you mean type sar into terminal to get the info I need? [05:11] jp_sf: you use abiword lotus? [05:12] On intrepid my laptop gets very unresponsive (think: like when copying to a floppy disk in Windows) when I've got any sort of disk i/o load. does anyone here know anything about the i/o scheduler used by default or some way to give the UI and desktop applications i/o preference (as was more of a default back in older kernel versions, it seems)? [05:12] raylu: I do yes and I think it is a good alternative Lotus symphony that IBM gives for free yes [05:13] I have a problem with the compiz fusion. Or better, the erase window effect it works, but not properly. [05:13] faileas: Staroffice =!

[05:15] it doesnt allow more than one app have sound [05:16] i have a laptop that wifi isnt working on - ethernet isnt either - so i downloaded 4 .deb files that are dependancies to install - but where should i put them to be installed as dependancies from teh disk and not the internets? [05:16] amuro: that sounds more like an oss app having stolen the soundcard to me than pulseaudio shenanigans [05:16] amuro: and pulseaudio does wonders for me. I personally think its great. [05:16] how do i do so the sound i hear on my desktop goes into the microphone without having one? ------ if u understand what im saying but dont know the answer can u help me rephrase? i suck at it lol [05:17] faileas [05:17] jp_sf: command tells me i need to get 1 of 2 packages - sysstat or atsar which is the preferred choice?

[05:17] ebaby: systat [05:17] i just use alsa for all sound [05:18] guys, what is the best package for flash support in firefox [05:18] the adobe one?

[05:19] tyta_linux: good luck, thank you for using #ubuntu, come back again [05:19] Gnea I just think it is weird that I have t fire up Jack to get audio at all [05:19] Gnea, completely remove pulseaudio and set everything using alsa [05:19] mib_2dc6mp: jack is one of those tricky apps that you need to get the jackd up and running first [05:20] tbrock, flashplugin-nonfree [05:20] badcat dmidecode [05:20] why is that one the best amuro [05:20] How can I exec my text editor that I just have lost? For some way and how I put the cursor at the window and move a little bit. Then it's gone. [05:20] Gnea hmm not sure if I opened Jackd or even saw it in applications [05:20] amuro: that's what i did, i too had one pulseaudio issue after the other, so i just completly uninstalled it, sound issues went bye bye :) [05:21] eseven73, yes pulseaudio sucks [05:21] Anyone can help with Apache2? I can see it working through http://localhost but I can't access pages via my ip address. [05:21] i dont know why when alsa works perfect, then they mess with pulseaudio? [05:21] #apache [05:21] well i dont thin it sucks i think its what Gnea was saying a bit ago about its more an issue of how ubuntu sets it up than anything else [05:21] Zombie_Gaz: Your local IP address, or your broadcast IP address? [05:22] badcat: sudo dmidecode [05:22] I still cannot read these itty bittyy letters [05:22] any op here? [05:22] jp_sf: failed to fetch http://... - any other cmd to get the packages [05:22] im having a weird issue, when I reboot ubuntu it comes up and all the apperence stuff is set to none and i have to set it back to advanced and go into compiz settings manager and set all my settings again like the cube and the rotation stuff anyone know why? it happened after some recent updates [05:22] anyone experiencing idle cpu temp is higher under intrepid than previous version or OS? [05:22] amuro: What do you need an op for? [05:22] jp_sf: harddrive failing is that your take on the problem...? [05:22] jp_sf, thanks will give it a try [05:22] i wanna file a complain [05:22] admin abuse [05:22] I'd kill to be an op here or any large channel for that matter :) [05:22] amuro: Please try #ubuntu-ops, amuro [05:22] ebaby: no but who knows a harddrive that dy is something frequeent [05:23] updated recently to Intrepid. was using Hardy before. youtube videos now play the first 2 seconds, then quit/freeze. I can jump the video ahead (clicking on the play bar) and it will play about 2 seconds from that point and do the same. [05:23] for some reason I am only getting one chanel to work my left speaker is not doing anything [05:25] mib_2dc6mp: It might seem a little obvious, but is the volume on the left channel muted or turned down? [05:25] jp_sf: as weird as it sounds that would almost be easier to deal with than having a picture perfect install only to reboot to the Twilight zone on your screen - so I assume failed to fetch means that the machine cant access the net or the files are no longer at that location? [05:25] is there a way to get irssi to show the channel without having to re enter the channel? [05:25] jp_sf: failed to fetch ? sysstat [05:25] How can I exec one file that is in /home/paste/file.txt, for example? [05:25] mib_2dc6mp: is that with jack? [05:25] eseven73: you mean /names? or /topic? [05:25] bleh [05:25] eseven73: As in, automatically join the channel upon starting it? [05:25] LVM is a bit annoying to set up [05:25] jp_sf: yeah that's the message i got [05:25] At the terminal, of course. [05:25] Anyone good with sound ? [05:26] Does anyone here know how to add Soulseek buddies on Nicotine? Isn't Nicotine supposed to use the SoulSeek network? [05:26] no i mean show like 1300 [05:26] !anyone > tristanmike [05:26] no, no [05:26] tristanmike, please see my private message === rebel_kid|zZzZ is now known as rebel_kid [05:26] anyone update to Intrepid and find some bugs with youtube? [05:26] ebaby: sorry to ask again what happens if you type : sudo apt-get install sysstat [05:26] i'll try again "apt-get syssat" right? [05:26] Gnea I closed Jack and just have Hydrogen going [05:26] MenZa: i know theres a couple irssi scripts that show user count, but i was hoping it was built in maybe [05:26] Need help with Apache2... I can access my index.html from http://localhost but not from my ip addresss. Help? [05:26] eseven73: I'm still not entirely sure what you're trying to. [05:26] sheena1, the youtube bug probably the flash [05:27] eseven73: At the bottom of /names it gives the total. Also, there's a plugin you can get thta'll give you a total all the time in your menu [05:27] It's not that. I have one file open, but It's gone of my screen. [05:27] Zombie_Gaz: As I said before - is this your LAN IP, or is it your broadcast public IP? [05:27] I just would like to get my surround sound working on a fresh install of 8.10 on a SoundBlaster 5.1. I don't understand PulseAudio [05:27] amuro: youtube videos now play the first 2 seconds, then quit/freeze. I can jump the video ahead (clicking on the play bar) and it will play about 2 seconds from that point and do the same. [05:27] hey does any one know where to get music for music player [05:27] Flannel: thanks thats what i was trying to get at [05:27] public ip... i'm trying for. [05:27] And I didn't no how come back. [05:27] sheena1, check your flash version [05:27] mike: http://creativecommons.org holds a lot of freely-licensed music. [05:27] sheena1, the newest is version 10 [05:27] thanks [05:27] mike: Another source is your local music shop. :) [05:27] but both i suppose. all i can get to work is localhost / 127.0.0.1 [05:28] eseven73: Look into the "usercount" plugin [05:28] Gnea I wonder if it is something in that clunky alsamixer [05:28] mike: You could also check the Magnatune store integration in Amarok and Rhythmbox, or the Jamendo store. [05:28] mib_2dc6mp: check your preferences in the audio tab, make sure the output driver is set accordingly [05:28] amuro, i'm checking now. [05:28] Zombie_Gaz: you need to specify the IP for the server to accept connection [05:28] Flannel: ok ty [05:28] are they free [05:28] jp_sf: go on... [05:28] What is the variable which keeps locations for libraries? It seems the variable got changed, since no lib is found on /usr/local/lib anymore... [05:28] mike: No, they require you to purchase the music. [05:28] ok good [05:28] thanks [05:28] Zombie_Gaz it is called port ip binding [05:28] Anyone know how to obtain gparted? Synaptic Package Manager doesn't have it on list. [05:28] I'm running eeeXubuntu. After a screwy update a week ago, I no longer have any wireless capable devices apparently. iwconfig and modprobe can't find anything, and i install linux-backports-modules to no avail. What went wrong?I'm running eeeXubuntu. After a screwy update a week ago, I no longer have any wireless capable devices apparently. iwconfig and modprobe can't find anything, and i install linux-backports-modules to no [05:28] avail. What went wrong? [05:28] Where do theme packages usually store the themes in? [05:28] ^ Shite, sorry. [05:29] illmortal: sudo apt-get install gparted. It should be in Synaptic, though. [05:29] Zombie_Gaz: vi /etc/apache2/ports.conf [05:29] why my firefox closes itself...?, any random time.. [05:29] amuro: add remove tells me it's downloading from version 9 link. should i go to the adobe homepage? [05:29] the_dark_warrio, try running ldconfig , that rebuilds lib relationships. See /etc/ld.so.conf* [05:29] MenZa, I think I have to add new repos or something in Synaptic <,< [05:29] sheena1, yes goto adobe page [05:29] Hi guys..do you know how to set up ubuntu as IDS ? [05:29] illmortal: Doh. It's installed by default. [05:29] Zombie_Gaz: and then Listen x.x.x.x:80 as an example x are your IP right ? [05:29] sheena1, the one in ubuntu repos is old [05:29] jp_sf: final message is "could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' [05:29] ah [05:30] nickrud: thanks, I will take a look [05:30] illmortal: System → Administration → Partition Editor - my bad. [05:30] sheena1, get the .deb file from adobe homepage [05:30] jp_sf: ok... so this is my REAL ip not my local ip (ie: 192.168.x) [05:30] amuro: it's going now. that should fix the problem? [05:30] Zombie_Gaz: depends... too late [05:30] np got it :P [05:30] nickrud: Thanks ;) that did the trick [05:30] illmortal: I'm not... completely sure it's installed by standard. In any case, if it isn't, it can be installed with `sudo apt-get install gparted` and run from the menu I described before. [05:31] sheena1, maybe [05:31] amuro: do i need to uninstall the old one or anything? does it do all that on its own? [05:31] sheena1, i cant garantee [05:31] Ok, back,,sorta...any fixes for SeaMonkey in the works? [05:31] jp_sf: it seems it was unable to get all that it needed as 40.8kb of archives were needed and it gave that error mssg [05:31] sheena1, yes u have to completely remove the old one first [05:31] sheena1, there is a tutorial how on the internet [05:31] Mayank: what sort of extensions are you running? that would be my first guess, you could try to backup your .mozilla folder and delete it, and rerun firefox to see if that helps, but please back it up before you do this! [05:31] amuro: can you link me there? i'll google it.. [05:31] ebaby: is the machine you are using irc ? [05:31] MenZa, ya I did the apt-get install gparted and "partition editor" popped into the admin menu, so good to go :P [05:32] sheena1, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-install-flash-player-10.html [05:32] illmortal: Excellent. Be careful, though; it's a WMD. [05:32] i have done that before, eseven73, what u think, should i download mozilla (windows version), and run use that in future? [05:32] Hey everyone. I'm trying to get a network bridge on my laptop, bridging the wireless and the wired. Any suggestions on where I should go/ [05:32] Gnea I can also change the mixer from Mia (alsa) to a variety of things [05:32] jp_sf: no I am using another machine for this irc - the other could access net during install though [05:33] how do i do so the sound i hear on my desktop goes into the microphone without having one? ------ if u understand what im saying but dont know the answer can u help me rephrase? [05:33] ebaby: seems it lost connection [05:33] I'm running eeeXubuntu. After a screwy update a week ago, I no longer have any wireless capable devices apparently. iwconfig and modprobe can't find anything, and i install linux-backports-modules to no avail. What went wrong? [05:33] Mayank: hmmm no running things in wine is not the answer... you're on 8.10 i take it? [05:34] nbeebo: What you'd like to know is how to mix your output channel (e.g. speakers) to work as a microphone, effectively perceiving any sound you play as a sound played into the microphone. [05:34] yes, eseven73 [05:34] MenZa, yes thats correct thank you... [05:34] lol MenZa [05:34] jp_sf: my hunch is to figure out a way to make the settings that the machine used during install to stick after the restart. any tips on getting that to work [05:34] luddite [05:34] whoops [05:34] hello, i did a dist-upgrade and some fonts that appear in dpkg are not available to things like firefox, do i need to do something with defoma? [05:35] Oh MenZa, quick question.. what's Linux-Swap for?... Because I'm about to delete the partition as for some reason it's given 5gb [05:35] illmortal: 5GB seems a bit excessive. It's like ... virtual RAM. [05:35] illmortal: you have about 2G of RAM? [05:35] illmortal: How much RAM do you have? [05:35] typically you want 2x physical ram [05:35] Yeah I have 16GB of RAM actually <,<; [05:35] O_O [05:35] lol [05:35] eseven73, what software i use in ubuntu for mobile connection, wammu is fine? [05:35] my ubuntu laptop seems to be slow . can someone please help me out [05:35] dont delete it [05:35] 16GB of ram? [05:35] illmortal: i would leave it at at least 5G [05:35] LOL [05:35] keep the 5gb of sap [05:36] I agree with throwt. [05:36] ok [05:36] The Weirdest thing just happened Gnea [05:36] i wasn't sure [05:36] illmortal, u dont need swap at all [05:36] Personally, I don't do the whole swap thing, but it's good practice. [05:36] amuro: lies [05:36] sudo swapoff [05:36] <_< [05:36] lol [05:36] for some reason my Network set up disappeared today. All I can think of is A) someone is hacking my system, B) installing bsc did something [05:36] Gnea I unplugged the speaker that wasnt working and the other speaker doubled in volume [05:36] do you know how to set up ubuntu as IDS ? [05:36] Hey im lookking at a way to speed up internet browsing. Crurrently i have my xp bo running to my ubuntu box wich is the firewall and the dns server. What can i do on the Ubuntu bax to speed things up? [05:36] I mean the wireless AND wired set up - GONE [05:36] mib_2dc6mp: o.O [05:36] mikegriffin, if u have 16GB of ram u dont need swap [05:36] mib_2dc6mp: well, at least it's trying to work lol [05:36] Doonz: pay your isp more money? [05:36] amuro: wrong [05:36] ok amuro <,< [05:37] wait [05:37] Doonz: Just a piece of advice; in case this yields no answers, try #ubuntu-server - it's more a server-related question. [05:37] guys, what i use for mobile (sony), wammu, gammu or both????????? [05:37] mikegriffin: Please none of that sarcasm here. [05:37] off the panels [05:37] its a 25/1 line [05:37] Can someone help me get my rear speakers working under 8.10 and a SoundBlaster 5.1. It was working fine on 8.04 before I upgraded this evening. Thanks in advance. [05:37] mikegriffin, i have 3GB ram, when i turn off swap, everything runs fast [05:37] can anyone point me to info on installing php/mysql/apache on ubuntu? [05:37] ok thanx Menza [05:37] Mayank: not sure sorry, im still trying to find a fix for your firefox :) [05:37] mib_2dc6mp: I'm gonna see if I can't get this pulseaudio thing to work right [05:37] alright so with 16gb of ram, i don't need swap or do I still need? I have 5TB of HD space as well but just wasn't sure about swap... [05:37] MenZa: when was i sarcastic? [05:37] hi all... i have a ps3 in need opf a and dlna or media server; alot out there but which media server to you suggest for PS3 i have ubuntu 8.10 and 8.04.. thanks in advance! [05:37] !apachemysqlphp | arquebus [05:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about apachemysqlphp [05:37] arquebus: Give me a sec to find the link [05:37] thanx...eseven73..:) [05:37] !lamp [05:37] 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+) [05:37] flubuntu: I use MediaTomb [05:38] LAMP FTW! [05:38] mib_2dc6mp: I've been fighting with it for months now, it's getting redundant [05:38] ill: you'll never need swap unless you plan on using 8+gb of ram at any given time [05:38] nickrud thx [05:38] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP <- arquebus [05:38] ok cool [05:38] is elisa compatable [05:38] illmortal, set up a swap partition but turn it on when u really need it, but i doubt u need swap [05:38] with ps3 [05:38] jp_sf: I read that using the cmd "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" might get the settings to stick but I get an error mssg when I enter that not sure why though [05:38] alright sweet :D [05:38] amuro: that is bad advice illmortal: you should leave swap on [05:38] o.o; [05:38] ebaby, you should use gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:38] flubuntu: if you're asking is it compatible with the PS3, yes. I stream all my music, movies and photos to it [05:38] sup [05:39] hi every body [05:39] well can I minimize it?... like say to 2gb of swap? [05:39] illmortal: if you think you are swapping too much as confirmed with vmstat, you might play with systcl vm.swappiness, try 30 [05:39] What I'd like to know is how to mix your output channel (e.g. speakers) to work as a microphone, effectively perceiving any sound you play as a sound played into the microphone. [05:39] Menza- thx [05:39] mikegriffin, i have 3GB ram and i turn off swap, nothing happen [05:39] well this is my firs time on this [05:39] arquebus: Welcome. [05:39] jp_sf, i don't know man. hooked it up to gf's comp to chkdsk /f and then noticed... "This device is nbot running at hi-speed, if you connect this to a usb 2.0 hub... etc.." message. maybe i need a new cord? i might just invest in a high quality one. [05:39] amuro: great, good job [05:39] Boxee.tv is a lot better than elisa [05:39] LAMP is so easy in 8.04 anyways, if anyone would like a link for the howto just hollar, I got my LAMP set up in like 15 mins and I'm not a guru :) [05:39] Dead1: Welcome to #ubuntu. [05:39] MenZa: that *was* sarcasm [05:39] hey suo [05:39] hi guys...don't know if anyone here is experienced with pgplot 5.2, but trying to install on ubuntu 8.10, but get errors with gcc-3.4 and g77-3.4...do i need to just start from scratch with an install of 8.04? [05:39] thanks tristanmike... [05:39] flubuntu: check out their home page, you can also install it via synaptic [05:39] RukusX: its not the cord [05:39] y just download ubunto for games [05:39] amuro, in general, bad advice. You're welcome to use what you like, but don't advise Works for Me™ [05:39] look great [05:39] nickrud: thank you! [05:40] RukusX: its either you have a cheap USB hub, or an older system [05:40] faileas, what is it? [05:40] flubuntu: you have to make a couple of changes listed in the webpage, be sure to read it [05:40] m_ [05:40] Dead1: This channel is only for support requests - any other discussion can take place in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [05:40] eseven- please Id like the link to your howto on lamp [05:40] k one sec [05:40] mikegriffin, that Works for Me™ is handy ;) [05:40] ok [05:40] faileas, its a 2 year old HP running XP and a 3 year old Dell running Ubuntu [05:40] in general though, short of popping in a PCI USB card, there's not much you can do, RukusX [05:40] so u have to go out.. [05:40] nickrud: swap is A Good ThingTM [05:40] or [05:40] RukusX: which box is giving the error? [05:40] faileas, your assumptions that i am at my ends here, beilders me [05:41] bewilders [05:41] still, swapping the cord dosen't do anything ;) [05:41] arquebus: http://lijamez.wordpress.com/2008/06/02/lighting-up-lamp/ [05:41] any clues on my font issue? [05:41] hello, i did a dist-upgrade and some fonts that appear in dpkg are not available to things like firefox, do i need to do something with defoma? [05:41] eseven73: ah big thanks [05:41] Mayank: i havent forgotten about you [05:41] mikegriffin, bitmapped fonts? [05:41] mikegriffin: Have you logged out and back in? [05:41] anytime [05:41] thanx...eseven73..:) [05:41] MenZa: rebooted to new kernel [05:41] nickrud: opensymbol [05:41] nickrud: i get "cannot open display" when I enter that cmd [05:42] Pass [05:42] ebaby, are you running that in a terminal on the desktop? [05:42] faileas, XP recognize it as "not being connected to a USB hi speed hub and lists ones available (which is all of them) and Ubuntu drives me nuts eith speeds of 1.1mb/sec and tell me " not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub" [05:42] eith = with [05:42] RukusX: what device? [05:42] is there serious errors with installing gcc-3.4 and g77-3.4 on ubuntu 8.10? [05:42] External Hard drive [05:43] nickrud: yes i booted into recovery and entered the root and am typing commands into the terminal [05:43] RukusX: is the external drive USB 2.0 compatable? >_> [05:43] Mayank: can you close all firefox out, and type 'firefox' in a terminal and pastebin some of the errors if any? [05:43] faileas at least the packaging claimed it was. [05:43] ebaby, so you're typing into a console, rather than running the gui? [05:43] no error i think...ok..wait [05:43] faileas i'm not using the usb cord that was supplied with it [05:43] RukusX: shouldn't matter [05:44] If I upgrade to the next version of ubuntu will it delete/mess up any of my programs? [05:44] Mayank: the terminal should spit out all kinds of stuff when you run 'firefox' from it [05:44] yup...no error [05:44] What I'd like to know is how to mix your output channel (e.g. speakers) to work as a microphone, effectively perceiving any sound you play as a sound played into the microphone. To the extend of broadcasting audio files trough means of thy service ventrilo unt voice-in game. [05:44] and nothing in terminal [05:44] nickrud: yes as there is no gui for me after the restart following install [05:44] extent* lol [05:44] Mayank: ok try to surf a bit and keep watching terminal for errors [05:44] Can anyone help me with Apache2... I can only see my web page via http://localhost not via my ip address. [05:44] ebaby, gedit only runs when the X is running, and you have a graphical desktop. You can use nano. And if you're using the recovery console, you don't need sudo because you're already root. [05:44] guys anyone here with some vmware expertise to help me out [05:45] Zombie_Gaz: check if the ports are open [05:45] i've been reading the forums and from what i can tell, it's because g77 is no longer supported and gfortran is however pgplot suggests f2c and other fortran compilers don't compile some code that g77 can, which is needed with pgplot [05:45] ok..i do that...u tell me what i use for mobile..wammu, gammu or both download/install, eseven73? [05:45] newbie-ubuntu: might wanna try the vmware channel as well [05:45] thanks faileas [05:45] If I upgrade to the next version of ubuntu will it delete/mess up any of my programs? [05:45] Zombie_Gaz, you mean the local network ip or the internet ip? [05:45] Mayank: one sec [05:45] faileas: explain. i have gone into my router and make a port range forward for 80 [05:45] reportingsjr: hopefully no [05:45] i need some help please, i have a ATI Mobility Radeon X300 and the highest resolution i can get is 1024x768...i should be able to get 1400x1050 [05:45] Gnea for some reason it seems that both of the speakers are on the same line, even though they are stereo left and right [05:45] nickrud: internet ip AND local network ip [05:45] Zombie_Gaz: try another port. lots of home isps block port 90 [05:46] faileas: hopefully? hehe. That's good enough for me :) [05:46] faileas, i am dumbfounded then [05:46] nickrud: i think i found it in dpkg ttf-opensymbol.postinst [05:46] RukusX: ditto i'm afraid [05:46] On intrepid my laptop gets very unresponsive (think: like when copying to a floppy disk in Windows) when I've got any sort of disk i/o load. does anyone here know anything about the i/o scheduler used by default or some way to give the UI and desktop applications i/o preference (as was more of a default back in older kernel versions, it seems)? [05:46] if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ -x /usr/bin/fc-cache ] && [ -e /etc/fonts/fonts.conf ]; then [05:46] fc-cache -fs [05:46] faileas: i'm on port 80 [05:46] mikegriffin, that looks nomal ... [05:47] nickrud: i wanted to figure out how to regen [05:47] i use x11 video, and under gmplayer i have blue borders in full screen mode, for mplayer they are black ones, how to set them to the black in gmplayer? [05:47] is there a better channel for me to be on with questions relating to installing pgplot? [05:47] Mayank: hmm from what i can tell Wammu is just the frontend for gammu, but i'm really not an expert on mobile stuff :) [05:47] faileas running a well due chkdsk on the drive with my XP machine. its taking some time. I'm sure its got some problems to fix. i should defrag it too [05:47] well not pgplot but g77- and gcc 3.4 [05:47] nickrud: ok so then I am not sure which cmds to use then perhaps you can give me an assist as you may have explained why these cmds were not working - I am at: root@dawoud-ubuntu-latop:~# [05:47] fgc: pgplot is not in apt.. [05:48] so i download both..thanx:) [05:48] RukusX: try jkdefrag for that ;) [05:48] np [05:48] Can someone please tell me if Ubuntu 8.10 supports surround sound ? Thanks [05:48] caimlas: cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler [05:48] ok thanks [05:48] im getting a failure of fsck on boot to check sda2 my swap partition. Does it need to do that? [05:48] should be completly fair (cfq) [05:48] mikegriffin: yeah i know...pgplot is easy enough to install if g77 and gcc 3.4 is, i added universal to my repositories [05:48] but still no luck with those [05:48] how do I upgrade to the next version with apt? [05:48] fgc: since its not in apt, its likely people here dont know it [05:49] !upgrade | reportingsjr [05:49] reportingsjr: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [05:49] ebaby, ok. if you want to edit menu.lst, try typing nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:49] nickrud / ebaby : you need a sudo there [05:49] mikegriffin: thanks man...is it easy enough to downgrade to 8.04 or is a complete re-install needed to do that? [05:49] faileas, not in recovery console ;) [05:49] fgc: complete reinstall [05:50] nickrud: oops >_> [05:50] faileas, heh. been there, done that :) [05:50] lol [05:50] nickrud: i believe that is what i want to do as this page: "https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/54867" pretty much describes my probs and give some (possible) fixes for it. [05:50] faileas: cool, thanks man...thought that would be the case...few more hours of fun to be had then :) [05:50] faileas and mikegriffin thanks guys...much appreciated [05:50] i was paying attention to the slightly annoyingly complex ubuntu cli install i am working on ;) [05:50] (lvm is a pain to set up IMO ) [05:51] fgc: gnuplot no good? [05:51] error im getting unable to check sda2 with fsck, but it is swap [05:51] ebaby, so you found the kernel options that enable your machine to install, now want to add them to menu.lst? [05:51] Anyone here use Exaile!? [05:51] I see you talk a lot about sound drivers..how to install those..I could not find on asus website ? [05:51] mikegriffin: well this is for a friend who needs pgplot for their physics research...i'll find out, but i bet he doesn't know, hence me setting up his linux box :P [05:52] i setup a lamp stack and things have been going good, but I put in some
