[00:00] sebsebseb, i went to system, administration, login window and removed the "show actions" menu [00:00] starfruit, you havent even got the netbook, you really want to argue about this? [00:00] im new with this ubuntu stuff (installed it last night), but ive installed kde 4.2.1 fine and everything works but im getting a few artifacts on the screen. is it kde or is it the drivers? [00:00] david_: ok I don't know [00:00] sebsebseb, but when i go to system quit it doesnt allow me to turn it off [00:00] ajehals, netbook is only 8 gb [00:00] dale1v: artifacts????? [00:00] ajehals, i've been trying to tell him to use a VM, isnt working. [00:00] tesseracter, on my laptop, dual boot is faster than vmware [00:00] dale1v, try GNOME, gnome is a lot faster than KDE and a lot simpler [00:00] sebsebseb, visual bugs [00:00] tesseracter, my current laptop [00:01] starfruit - so? You will need disk space whether it is in a VM or a physical partition. [00:01] dale1v: ok do you have your graphics card driver installed? [00:01] LifeIsPain: stab Nytrix. And the general consensus here is that xchat-gnome sucks too.] [00:01] * LifeIsPain stabs Nytrix a bit [00:01] starfruit, what the heck are you trying to do with this thing? [00:01] urm yeah i do. when i selected advanced visual effects in settings in gnome it downloaded a set of drivers [00:02] tesseracter, use two OS [00:02] lol [00:02] Nytrix: quit sending people to the wrong room. xchat-gnome isn't supported for #xchat, and we shouldn't be sending people to #xchat for xchat problems most of the time anyway. [00:02] LifeIsPain: thanks for pointing it out. [00:02] my bad [00:02] I don't mind answering questions related to xchat itself, it is why I contribute there, but it doesn't help with missinformation [00:03] Is xmms obsolete?

[00:03] needhelp: try Banshee :) [00:03] starfruit not so sound like an ass here but why would you want to run server 2008 on a netbook? [00:03] needhelp use VLC [00:03] I installed xmms2, but that was just a commandline-tool! [00:04] needhelp, [00:04] starfruit, what you are suggesting is like loading 4 fat dudes in a miata. its possible, but WHY? [00:04] needhelp: then look at the others. xmms is very, very obsolete. [00:04] you should install a GUI for xmms and you're done .. [00:04] * tesseracter highfives donavan01 [00:04] okay, ill try the others [00:05] tesseracter: nice way of putting it [00:05] needhelp: Banshee is a very good music and video player, well the version in Intrepid Ibex 8.10, version in Hardy 8.04 sucks, but a ppa can be got for Ibex version [00:05] why? because i dual boot all the time on my othre machines [00:05] needhelp, id say VLC is best [00:05] !ask [00:05] 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. :-) [00:06] starfruit: no why would you take a small portable (not very powerful machine and load it with an OS that is designed to be run on a stationary machine with some every duty processing power [00:06] starfruit, the consensus is that your question is well outside normal usage, and you are on your own for this stuff. [00:06] VLC is good for avi-playback. I just installed audacious. Looks very like xmms [00:06] starfruit left... [00:07] starfruit: dont get me wrong im all about doing things just for the sake of doing it but I really dont see that point other than bragging rights [00:08] :( [00:08] Greetings.

[00:08] ajehals: he ran away [00:09] donavan01 - huh, didn't see him quit. My client must be playing up...

When it starts to boot it gives me an error 2, which I believe is a partition not found error.

[00:47] meshuggah: oh Grub went bad? [00:47] hey guys I'm trying to build a program from source, but it's telling me the following when running make: [00:47] cc1: warnings being treated as errors [00:47] jrb.c:554: error: ‘jrb_print_tree’ defined but not used [00:47] ajehals-> affirmative, thats why am stumped [00:47] sebsebseb, yes grub went bad, 2 times lol [00:47] *sigh* I have to reboot into recovery mode apparently to re-enable root and fix the sudoers file lol. bye everyone ;) <3 [00:47] ensay - how big is the file? can you read it? [00:47] sar4j, where at top? [00:47] meshuggah: ok Grub can be fixed [00:47] sebsebseb, when will the new ubuntu will be ready is it april 2009? [00:47] Hi is there a file like the rc.conf file in arch that has all of the daemons that autostart in ubuntu? [00:47] meshuggah: yep April [00:47] <_VIM_> late april no doubt [00:48] meshuggah april 23 [00:48] meshuggah: end of April, but I will get the beta in a week or so [00:48] ajehals-> -r--r--r-- 1 root root 10224 Dec 29 00:41 extlinux.sys so its fairly small, and when file extlinux.sys its says its data, binary when displayed [00:48] ensay - if it's 444 you should be able to do so as your user. [00:48] sebsebseb, yes but i didnt minded, i wanted to try a few distribution [00:48] So what are the major differences between Hardy and Januty (Loving Hardy on my laptop)!? [00:48] meshuggah: Debian is 100% free software and open source? [00:48] mmanders: that Jaunty is not yet released and may fry your system at any time if you use it. [00:49] sebsebseb, we can add repository to download non free [00:49] LjL: lol fair enough [00:49] mmanders: Hardy is LTS, Jaunty will be more cutting edege [00:49] !lts [00:49] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [00:49] Still, I was pleasantly surprised at how well my upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 went! [00:49] sebsebseb, but it is "locked" standard [00:49] ensay, I'd try a chmod 700 extlinux.sys again, just to be sure, but other than that, as root, I have no idea, even if it was in use you should be able to remove it... can you move/rename it? [00:49] Hi is there a file like the rc.conf file in arch that has all of the daemons that autostart in ubuntu? [00:49] So it's best to stick with 8.10 and maybe try 9,04 on KVM [00:49] meshuggah: locked???? [00:49] sebsebseb, debian is a little faster, but a little more complicated [00:50] !ot [00:50] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:50] meshuggah: yeah I still haven't tried Debian properly after all this time [00:50] sebsebseb, not set to on by default, we need to add some line, or remove some # before some lines [00:50] LjL: indeed [00:50] ajehals-> am not getting very far..it fails.. thats okay, its only a small file [00:50] sebsebseb, debian is nice, but ubuntu was easier for a newbie like me, i am using linux since less than a month and a half [00:51] meshuggah: can we move this to #ubuntu-offtopic please? [00:51] meshuggah: yeah we are off topic hummmmm [00:51] LjL, sorry [00:51] LjL: are you a mod? [00:51] <_VIM_> you cant tell? [00:51] sebsebseb: no, not a mod. [00:51] _VIM_: well Bazhang and Flannel I think, but other mods not sure who they are [00:52] oh yeah [00:52] Jack Sparrow [00:52] Hello, is there is some page to download game for ubuntu 8.10 in .deb (Not getdeb pleases) [00:52] <_VIM_> sebsebseb: you can /msg ubottu ops and get a pretty good idea [00:52] !games | kattollikisd [00:52] kattollikisd: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [00:52] sebsebseb: this isn't the place for this conversation. This channel is dedicated to support. Please take it elsewhere. If you'd like to discuss your issue with the operators, feel free to come to #ubuntu-ops, and we can talk about it. [00:53] ensay - could be indicative of some issue with that media though... you could do a lsattr on the file too... [00:53] Flannel: nah I was just wondering who the mods were that's all [00:54] LjL: you are according to that command [00:54] ajehals-> off hand you remember this .. ----i-------------- /mnt/extlinux.sys what does the i stood for? [00:54] <_VIM_> you said "mod" not "op" [00:54] _VIM_: ok what's the difference? [00:54] Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:54] ajehals-> thats result of lsattr [00:54] <_VIM_> anyways we're getting offtopic again *Shutting up now* [00:54] lol [00:55] ensay i = immutable, chattr -i to remove it. It effectivley makes it read only IIRC [00:56] ajehals-> ahh okay.. thanks [00:56] ensay - wierd that its set though. [00:56] sebsebseb: no, according to that command, i'm an op. [00:56] LjL: what's the difference? [00:56] ajehals-> yeah, and i dont recall creating that file, i usually only copy from a livecd.. [00:57] sebsebseb: there's nothing called "mods" on irc. [00:57] LjL: ok [00:57] mods is a Forum's term [00:57] ensay - preserving attributes from a system file on a liveCD during a copy then... Ah well. [00:57] eseven73: right ok, subject droped then, since off topic [00:58] ajehals-> oh, is that what i was? [00:58] ajehals-> oh, is that what it* was? [00:58] ensay - at a guess. [00:59] How do I tell a program I run from a true terminal (tty1-6) to use my active X session as video/audio output rather than just fail? [00:59] ajehals-> excellent guess.. after i chattr -i I was able to delete [00:59] thanks [00:59] ensay - no probs.

[01:52] I have an optiplex gx260 [01:52] dell [01:52] it's got a 3d card [01:52] neher: alright... let's try reinstalling it. run < sudo aptitude install firefox firefox-3.0 firefox-3.0-branding > [01:52] just small video memory [01:53] neher: er, use reinstall rather than instal [01:53] I've found people online that say they got it to work, but I can't figure out how [01:53] brack10 get a recent ATI or NVIDIA card [01:53] Any ideas for my question above? [01:53] Suggestions? [01:53] is there a way to change a files access? [01:54] how to choose the best server for my ubuntu os [01:54] ? [01:54] !best [01:54] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:54] brack10: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [01:54] !lamp [01:54] 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+) [01:54] I mean the server location [01:54] neer: but yeah Apache is about the only web server for Linux [01:54] alex___: google the last line, see if anything interesting pops up. looks like something is wrong with hal [01:55] cdm10, I reinstalled, but it still will not run [01:55] neer, do you mean select the best repo to upgrade from? [01:55] jrib: thanks [01:55] neer, a country nearer to yours [01:55] yes [01:55] cdm10, I get the same segmentation error [01:55] can anyoen recommand a console app for downloading podcasts, preferably something that can be used with cron? [01:55] right now I am in China [01:55] ok im am admin but it is saying i dont have the wrights to move a file... why? [01:55] It's just that the things I have seen recommended, they are most for just editing movie clips. I just want one that is good for making simple video out of pictures, not movie. So maybe I should rephrase my question. What are common movie making programs for Ubuntu that are more for making video out of pictures, instead of editing movie clips? [01:55] neher: try running: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.old [01:55] !permissions | Aroia [01:55] Aroia: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:55] alex___: check if hal is installed [01:55] and my server location in the system is the "Main server" [01:55] neer, the tw are very fast [01:56] cdm10, I have tried that trick before, it did not work [01:56] ty [01:56] bazhang: what is tw? [01:56] np [01:56] neer, taiwan [01:56] ok [01:56] tony426, yeah, sudo apt-get remove gnome-panel [01:56] bazhang: I will surely try that [01:56] jrib: its not [01:56] brack10: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [01:57] jrib: even when i go through dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and set ctrl:swapcaps, it doesn't take [01:57] neher: I really have no idea why it's not working :-/ unless anyone else has an idea, try using another browser until an update fixes it. [01:57] neher: if so many people are having this same issue, perhaps they'll fix it. [01:57] bazhang: but there are lot of servers in tw, which one should I choose [01:57] alex___: one thing at a time [01:57] neher: Firefox issues try starting over with a new profile [01:57] sebsebseb: tried it [01:58] bazhang: because last time I selected some server, and it was so slow [01:58] neer, well in synaptic package manager/add remove you can select best server iirc [01:58] jrib: installed hal, and now the mouse works [01:58] is there a difference between "ls" and "dir," if not which would u recommend? [01:58] neer: if you go to Software Sources > Other Servers > Find the Best Server it will pick one for you [01:58] neer, the main security ones will still potentially be slow however [01:58] melik: they're the same, dir is an alias for ls... makes it easier for users coming from Windows/DOS [01:58] melik, i never even knew dir worked in linux, lol [01:58] cdm10: ok the unoffical Ubuntu version of Firefox can screw up [01:58] ah thanks cdm10 [01:59] cdm10, would it appear that a lot of people are having the same problem? Do you know if there is any support for firefox that [01:59] ziroday: I selected the best one too..but lot of updates related with language couldn't be updated...failed [01:59] and yeah tashley, it does haha. i used to use dir, but i just learned about ls and IMO its way better. [01:59] neer: thats fine [01:59] ziroday: lot of updates failed to hit [01:59] color is nice :) [01:59] JGodbout: i don't know about one specifically made for pictures, but i do believe most of the "normal" ones could also deal with pictures... [01:59] neer, but all others will be set to tw.archive etc [01:59] neher: I know one other person mentioned the same issue... I know that I'm waiting a little while 'till I update. [01:59] JGodbout: what are you looking for, something like a slideshow? [01:59] Sort of [01:59] With like transitions [01:59] zoom in [01:59] zoom out [01:59] stuff like that [01:59] JGodbout: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:00] cdm10, any suggestions for a browser? [02:00] cdm10, i upadted my ff3 without any issues. is that what you're reffering to? [02:00] tashley: yep, neher's having issues with it [02:00] neher: wait, forgot one thing... are there any newer updates? [02:00] neher: there are lots, try Epiphany [02:00] cdm10, neher, i updated ff3 on three boxes, two 64bit and one 32bit without any problems [02:01] neher: Have you tried running an fsck / re-installing firefox / downloading from mozilla.com ( the binary may be corrupted somehow ) [02:02] Jordan_U, neher, never thought of that, good idea. but i thought that synaptic did md5 checks on updates? [02:02] neher: Have you also tried running firefox in safe mode? [02:02] tashley: It does, I was thinking it might have been corrupted after install ( hence why re-installing might fix it ) [02:03] Jordan_U, gotcha [02:03] tashley ? [02:03] Jordan_U, what is the command for the fsck? [02:03] sup? [02:03] Jordan_U: neher has reinstalled, as well as tried in safe mode and with a blank profile... nothing :-/ [02:03] gotcha ? [02:03] You highlighted me [02:03] oh lol [02:03] i was saying "gotcha" [02:03] wasnt saying your nick [02:04] neher: it can't be done while the OS is booted... so I'd think of that as a last resort. I doubt that's the problem. Have you checked for new updates? [02:04] thats like someone having the nick "install" [02:04] and saying sup everytime someone said install [02:04] !enter | tashley [02:04] tashley: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:04] Not when u are a german :-) [02:04] cdm10, this is probably relevent [02:04] neher: Reboot into "recovery mode" ( single user mode ), it should give you a menu with doing an fsck being one of the options [02:05] neher: sorry, what are you referring to? [02:05] Jordan_U, after the updates were finished something froze, the update manager I think, so I had to do a force-quit [02:05] tritium, ironically i use that on others, sad to see it used on me, but i forgot to add that last part. thanks tho === rudy is now known as Guest98353 [02:05] gotcha, what does that mean in german? === Guest98353 is now known as rudy___ [02:05] Jordan_U, you win :) [02:05] tashley: What do I win? :) [02:06] Jordan_U, im still debating on that === Maahes_ is now known as Maahes [02:07] cdm10, as I was saying to Jordan_U, after I did a force quit, I shut it down, then this morning the package managers were giving me errors, saying I needed to do something like reconfigure -a or something to that effect (can you guess I am still rather new to linux), then after a restart, I did something with fsck [02:07] neher: oh, that is relevant [02:07] neher: open a terminal and run sudo dpkg --configure -a [02:07] tashley nothing, this is why I chose thbe nick back in a while [02:08] cdm10, nothing really happens [02:08] gotcha, gotcha. (see what i did there? lol) [02:08] Does anyone here have experience with PPC? [02:08] :D [02:08] in what directory is all the code stored for user-installed applications? [02:08] TheFunkbomb: Try asking your question and you'll find out :) [02:08] TheFunkbomb, i dropped my PPC install because it didnt have flash support. That was years, ago. How is it now? [02:08] can anyone tell me how to get java working in 64bit ibex? I installed sun-java6-bin and sun-java6-jre but sites with java still won't work [02:09] tashley, wish I could tell you. It couldn't find my CD rom. Fixed that. Now it can't find my HDD [02:09] cdm10, I followed some instructions to get synaptic running again and all that, but the problems with firefox remain [02:09] tarriop: use icedtea [02:09] tarriop: You need to install the browser plugin [02:09] I think the HDD is trashed [02:09] tarriop: sun-java6-plugin [02:09] tarriop, java works fine on my 64bit, install the mozilla plugin [02:09] neher: can go go to Synaptic , and go to Edit>Fix Broken PAckages? [02:09] glenrock: doesn't exist on amd64 [02:09] ah, thanks guys [02:09] ahh, thanks jrib [02:10] cdm10, ive never had to fix broken packages before, this is new to me :) [02:10] in what directory is all the code stored for user-installed applications? [02:10] jcapinc, /usr/bin [02:10] tashley: it makes sure all the dependencies are satisfied. [02:10] jrib, so i should install the icedtea plugin? [02:10] tarriop, icedtea is nice, yes :) [02:10] tashley: yeah, that should work ok [02:10] erm, tarriop [02:10] tashley, thats where the executables are, but not all the code [02:10] great, thakns [02:11] jcapinc, oh i read your q wrong. sorry [02:11] jcapinc: what makes you think such a directory exists? [02:11] !source > jcapinc [02:11] jcapinc, please see my private message [02:11] tashley, np, thanks for the effort [02:11] Is there a way to force a driver to load at startup? Or unload and reload? [02:11] I think I'm just gonna drop the mac off at the dump lol [02:11] ugh. Im trying to log into my kubuntu machine remotely through vnc, but the kde desktop sharing program asks my connecting client for a password, and I dont know what it is :|. Any help? [02:12] jrib, the code has to be somewhere, and I figure ubuntu would have one file for it [02:12] TheFunkbomb, i still have mine :( [02:12] tashley, I can't get it to run the partitioner [02:12] jcapinc: see ubottu [02:12] TheFunkbomb, weird. [02:12] tashley, it asks for the driver and depending on which one I pick, it allows me to do certain things [02:13] cdm10, nothing much happened with the "fix broken packages" [02:13] gedit [02:13] sometimes I can get to the partitioner but it says the partitions are too small to work with [02:13] TheFunkbomb, what ver? [02:13] oops [02:13] g4 [02:13] * tashley claps for tarriop [02:13] I picked it out of the dump [02:13] hi [02:13] I think next weekend it's heading right back to the dump [02:13] although, I do have to say the case is awesome. [02:13] neher: ugh :-/ I really don't know what's going on then. [02:13] TheFunkbomb, still hanging onto mine. Maybe PPC will come through in the end :) [02:13] jrib, i'm getting this: icedtea-gcjwebplugin: Depends: icedtea6-plugin but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages [02:14] tarriop: pastebin your sources.list [02:14] I'm wondering if I could put a PC ATX board in the mac case [02:14] TheFunkbomb, lol! whats the point? [02:14] cdm10, do you know how I can check for problems with my HD? My instincts tell me that I may have some corrupted sectors or something to that effect [02:14] How would I undo these commands? sudo groupadd -g 5000 vmail and sudo useradd -m -u 5000 -g 5000 -s /bin/bash vmail ? [02:14] I just think the case is cool tashley [02:14] how it flips down [02:14] TheFunkbomb, you could theme out ubuntu to look exactly like OSX [02:14] how well do makes work w/ linux? I figure as good or better than the average PC, mac's based on FreeBSD [02:15] TheFunkbomb, sounds like a neat idea actually :) [02:15] tashley, that's a cool idea [02:15] hi, how do I mount my ntfs drives and keep them on startup? [02:15] jrib, http://pastebin.com/m591e7884 [02:15] Then I can be like one of those mac fanboys except cooler [02:15] neher: I doubt that's the issue... but I think it has something to do with the command "badblocks." Don't take my word for it, though... see if someone else knows. [02:15] and likable [02:15] joetromondo, look up the commands to mount the ntfs drive then open your session manager and add that command as a start-up command [02:15] Hey, im trying to connet to a windblows computer in network would the domain be the Workgroup? [02:16] its not working im trying every thing [02:16] cdm10, yes, something about that came up after I restarted, I was getting some errors about badblocks etc. Ugh, I hate being so vague and all about this, feeling dumb about it. [02:16] hello.. yesterday i install xubuntu-desktop.. i didnt like it so today i did apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop but seems that is not working for me.. because the log in screen is xubuntu and not ubuntu. how can i remove everything of xubuntu?? [02:17] neher: hey, at this kinda stuff, I'm a total noob, so don't feel too bad :) [02:18] lokoabreu, i dont really know, but it does sound like the GDM for xubuntu is still installed [02:18] lokoabreu, after you login is it gnome or XFCE? [02:19] tarriop: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin on pastebin [02:19] lokoabreu: sounds like you still have the xubuntu theme for gdm [02:19] lokoabreu: what were you using before? Ubuntu/GNOME? [02:19] zash, so i was right about the GDM? lol [02:19] jrib, I just tried it again and it worked... weird? [02:20] cdm10, thanks for trying. ANYONE ELSE does anyone here feel like being a hero for a bit, and helping me get firefox running? Last night I ran the update manager, downloaded the updates, shut the computer down, and today firefox would not open. [02:20] chilli0: there's probably not a domain at all, try setting the workgroup to either workgroup or mshome [02:20] tashley: yep [02:20] command to add a user to wheel? [02:20] tarriop: jrib's magic touch [02:20] i tryed ms home [02:20] jrib, haha [02:20] neher - what have you tried so far? [02:20] jrib can touch me anytime then [02:20] chilli0: or look at my computer properties on the windows machine to see what workgroup it's actually in [02:20] jimi_hendrix: you probably want some other group. What do you want to do exactly? [02:20] add a user to sudoers [02:21] funkyHat: would it not work if i wasnt in the same work group , the work group of his is MShome mine is workgroup [02:21] jimi_hendrix: sudo usermod -aG admin USERNAMEHERE [02:21] jimi_hendrix: it's the "admin" group you want in ubuntu [02:21] ok [02:22] chilli0: I'm not sure, it's probably most likely to work if they both have the same workgroup [02:22] k [02:22] how do i change the work group on this? [02:22] ajehals, I tried reinstalling firefox, I tried fixing broken packages (as earlier I was having some problems with package manager), basically trying to run any firefox related stuff in the terminal gives me a segmentation error [02:22] Show me your moves!!! [02:23] rww: i was using ubuntu/gnome [02:23] zash: yeah it seems like that how can i remove it?

[02:24] tashley: after i login is gnome, but xubuntu appears as the login screen [02:24] neher - what I would do is can you drop the output from the terminal into a pastebin? also move yor .mozila folder in your home directory somewhere safe for the time being (rename it to .mozilla.old or something... whilst you work on it to ensure your settings/bookmarks remain in one piece [02:24] rww: thanks === ectospasm is now known as ectodozing [02:24] lokoabreu: you can change the GDM theme [02:25] lokoabreu: System>Admin.>Login Screen [02:25] lokoabreu, yeah then its definitely the GDM (login theme) [02:26] i am trying to setup a local apache web server just so I can develope with drupal. but I can not figure out how to change and add local virtual hosts. is there a trick? [02:27] ajehals, I am really new to this business, can you kind of go step by step with me, sorry [02:27] neher - sure. [02:27] neher - first off open a terminal window.

It was my sound card :-( [02:28] ajehals, yeah, that's open [02:28] neher - then as your normal user type 'mv .mozilla .mozillaold' - this essentially moves your firefox settings out of harms way, we will move it back once firefox works. [02:28] tekteen, ouch, its a laptop [02:28] Dreamglider: what happened to it? === andrew__ is now known as ConstantineXVI [02:29] ogre_: my mom's old windows machine had issues.

[02:41] ajehals, not that I know about [02:41] bruce89, nope, still not seeing it [02:41] Having a slight problem at the moment. Other than the fact that I was just called a girl...(-__ -"). Whenever I play a .mov file in Movie Player, I get no sound [02:41] sebsebseb: Ay friend lol [02:41] Im pretty sure sound should be there, can anyone issue a diagnosis? [02:41] jeeves: hmm [02:41] rabbit_ubuntu: ha ha yeah I know your probaby not a girl, but put that anyway :) [02:42] Dr_willis_AAQ can i you type it up for me? idk it is supposed to look... file is xpiso and it is going to simpledrive [02:42] rabbit_ubuntu: nothing wrong with rabbits [02:42] sebsebseb: lol, Im no bunny. Just a Rabbit [02:42] lol [02:42] hello people [02:42] bruce89, i wish to think otherwise, i wrote 40Gb from the very first sector out to 40Gb, so the remaining 20Gb of data should be there [02:42] bruce89, normally, I wouldn't care, but this is for work [02:42] can anyone help me out with getting wvm formats working on my ubuntu 8.10? I've read and followed everything about it and still no go [02:42] neher - OK in your terminal again, I'd like you to type 'mkdir firefox-temp' hit return, and then 'firefox -profile firefox-temp' and tell me what happens. [02:42] Dreamglider: whatever was on the last 20 GB will still be there [02:42] Aroia, i got other things going on.. you know the basics.. sudo cp , its worth learning some bash basics. spoend an 1/2 hr reading some bash tutorials [02:43] rabbit_ubuntu: ,but you woudn't expect a guy to put a name such as rabbit_ubuntu as for sound well have you triend another player? [02:43] steveo: Download VLC [02:43] steveo: yes that's easy [02:43] ive downloaded the win32 codecs, libdvd, installed VLC, totem, xine, mplayer and nothing [02:43] jeeves: you did restart evolution I assume [02:43] still no go :( [02:43] steveo: you can get wmv and avi and all that propritary stuff suppourt by: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:44] tekteen what was that program u mentioned again ? [02:44] sebsebseb : ive done that too but still no go [02:44] bruce89, yes [02:44] sebsebseb: Rabbit vs Bunny. I;d expect bunny to be female. And I have tried VLC but it doesn't support it. [02:44] sebsebseb : i'll try it again gimme a tic [02:44] Question - if I have an rsync script to synchronize my home directory on drive A to be synced to drive B, and drive B fails during the night and the next morning I run my rsync script, what happens? Some people are telling me that data would try to get written to my root partition. Other people are telling me it would simply fail the process. What happens if I try to rsync to a drive that is dead and I dont know it? [02:44] Dreamglider: photorec finds pictures [02:44] rabbit_ubuntu: which sound codec is it? [02:44] steveo: Have you restarted? [02:44] rabbit_ubuntu: what about Banshee? [02:44] sebsebseb : The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required [02:44] Dreamglider: or anything else [02:45] sebsebseb: no difference, they both use gstreamer [02:45] sebsebseb: Its a video [02:45] rabbit_ubuntu : yep restarted it and all but nothing yet [02:45] !multimedia [02:45] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [02:45] sebsebseb: Banshee plays videos? [02:45] heh that one needs updating [02:45] steveo: Remove the repos and install them again [02:45] oi [02:45] steveo: Then restart [02:45] tem algum brasileiro? [02:45] can someone tell me how to type up a sudo? im trying to move a file to my x-ternal HHD [02:45] sebsebseb: Its Quicktime video [02:45] ajehals, Sementation fault [02:45] hello? can somebody PLEASE help me with xpad? [02:46] Hello, does anyone know of a screen recorder for ubuntu? [02:46] i'm brazilian... [02:46] bruce89, come again ? [02:46] rabbit_ubuntu : which ones should i reinstall? [02:46] Dreamglider: photorec can find these files http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/File_Formats_Recovered_By_PhotoRec [02:46] neher - Ok, so the problem really is with firefox and not your profile.... [02:46] could anyone recommend a terminal emulator similar to konsole but lighter on memory [02:46] is there a username/password for the liveCD? because that's where I'm stuck at [02:46] bruce89: Its Quicktime [02:46] Sylphid: for gnome? [02:46] Dreamglider: photorec recovers most files [02:46] How do I access my various GTK+ 2 themes? [02:47] rabbit_ubuntu: ok mplayer can do like everything, once you got the codecs [02:47] steveo: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:47] RoastedTiresX, rsync would fail - obviously. data wouldn't get written anywhere else. [02:47] Sylphid: xterm is a light one [02:47] rabbit_ubuntu: that's a container [02:47] Allright ill give it a spinn see what i can find [02:47] steveo: don't install that [02:47] bruce89: Oh...Well I suppose Im not sure how to answer that then :S [02:47] ajehals, I googled my symptoms and I think I may have cfound something worthwhile, and it does have to do with scim [02:47] tekteen, either gnome or no dependencies [02:48] bruce89: don't install that why? that's the easiest way to get the propritary stuff [02:48] sebsebseb: So I should try getting ALL the codecs from synaptic? [02:48] rabbit_ubuntu: that package depends on non-free things I don't like [02:48] neher. Lets try reinstalling it again: if you could, in your terminal, type 'sudo dpkg --purge firefox' that should remove firefox and all it's configuration files. [02:48] tekteen, im looking for an emulator that supports tabs [02:48] Sylphid: gnome-terminal is for gnome [02:48] hi no wht im hAVING TROUBEL DOWNLOADING THUNDERBIRD IS IT COMPATABLE WITH UBUNT? [02:48] and it makes no difference codec-wise [02:48] I geuss, my GTK theme engines? [02:48] rabbit_ubuntu: you did ubuntu-restricted-extras? [02:48] multi-aterm didnt look bad but the tabs didnt work well [02:48] bruce89: lol, Well what would you suggest? [02:48] !shout | molly [02:48] unop - The thing that is scaring me is these people on the forums are telling me that rsync would try to re-route the data to another source, which the first one to try would be my root partition. But my root partition is 20gb and my data is 175gb+, so we'd have a serious problem by maxing out my root partition... [02:48] molly: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [02:49] sebsebseb: I believe I had to do that for Vbox at one point [02:49] neher - there is a problem with scim and firefox - but If you are not using alternate inputs it shouldn't be a problem. If you think you are, then this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=556321 deals with it. [02:49] bruce89 : why not? [02:49] is there a username/password for the liveCD? because that's where I'm stuck at [02:49] tekteen, gnome-terminal is heavier on memory than knosole [02:49] steveo: I don't like it [02:49] s/is/has been [02:49] Sylphid: I do not know one with tabs [02:49] molly: sudo apt-get install thunderbird [02:49] RoastedTiresX, that's nonsense - if rsync fails at writing data to the intended destination, it will just stop writing and return an error status to its parent process. [02:50] unop - even if crontab is controlling rsync to start? [02:50] sebsebseb: And I just did it, and it told me I already have it. So yeah [02:50] rabbit_ubuntu: I don't know because I don't know what codecs are used [02:50] ok done [02:50] i'll let ya know [02:50] after reboot [02:50] steveo: Alrighty [02:50] bruce89: hmm.... [02:51] RoastedTiresX, this process of writing data to devices is controlled by the kernel - it wouldn't make sense for the kernel to just start writing data to random unintended places, it would make it unusable for most realistic cases (and that is not the case). [02:51] bruce89: How would I be able to find that out though? Referring to the type of codecs in the video [02:51] unop - Not that I don't believe you, but I think it's time I conduct my own little experiment where I unplug my drive and run rsync. [02:51] Does the LiveCD have a username/password? [02:51] RoastedTiresX, it doesn't matter where rsync is run from. if it fails, it just fails. no magic happens. [02:51] rabbit_ubuntu: indeed, that's the snag [02:51] strange thing, when using the latest 8.10 live CD, sound works with pulseaudio i guess. Sound preferences show autodetect x3 and alsa. default sound card chosen [02:52] !livecd [02:52] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [02:52] !password [02:52] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [02:52] torc: the username is ubuntu, the password is blank. You shouldn't need to log in when you boot it though. If you do, it may be a bad burn. [02:52] unop - thanks for your time. I just have to see this for myself so I can post back to forums to prove them wrong if what I think is going to happen indeed happens [02:52] rabbit_ubuntu: nothing in the media bit in nautilus's properties thingy [02:52] i installed 8.10, updated system which updated pulseaudio and no sound [02:52] is there some kind of GUI involved with my GTK2+ theme engines that I dont know about? [02:52] sorry about yelling did not no caps lock was onI [02:52] Flannel: interesting. I was getting some weird Buffer I/O errors and stuff, but it finally got around to the login screen. Should I just re-burn then? at slow speed or something? === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [02:53] bruce89: I shall check === prince_j2mmys is now known as prince_jammys [02:53] bruce89: Aha! Apple Graphics (SMC) [02:54] <_jet__> Hi, how can I share my internet connexion with a zaurus over USB ? [02:54] Greetings! I'm looking for help on how I can access 16:10 resolutions in 8.10 running Intel865G chipset. The very first time i booted after installing it did work correctly but ever since all the 16:10 resolutions are gone. I checked the xorg.conf and it looks practically empty compared to earlier versions of X. I cant seem to find 915resolution or the other tools I had used in the past either. Any help would be greatly appreciate [02:54] d =) [02:54] molly thunderbird is compatible with ubuntu and can be installed useing synaptic [02:54] rabbit_ubuntu: no wonder, they'll be no chance [02:54] torc: When you first boot, choose the verify the integrity of the CD option, see if that works out. [02:54] some weird anchient nonsense [02:55] bruce89: Yikes [02:55] ajehals, I do have scim installed, is that a problem? [02:55] bruce89: Any specific reason for that? [02:56] Hi there, I have a server and want to collect mails and forward them to another mail adress, I installed postfix and put "compiler: my@email.foo" in my /etc/aliases. Now if I do "mail compiler" I get it on my mail adress, but if I send mail to compiler@myserver.foo it doesn't do anything, any ideas? [02:56] hello world!

I have been royally rayped it would seem [02:57] bob9281988, hurry up [02:57] MHz128 that would be around 5 DVD's [02:57] MHz128: no, but it's pretty easy to install KDE and Gnome and XFCE and loads of good programs, in one installation [02:57] just picked up a new dell studio 17 laptop. this is NOT an ubuntu edition. first thing i did was wipe the drive clean and am now running 8.10. issue is that theres 2 headphones jacks. plug into one, and sound works for both speakers and headphones, plug into other and there isnt sound for either. ideas? [02:57] bob9281988: !ask [02:57] hello. I am doing "sudo apt-get install build-essential", Ubuntu is prompting me to insert the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon CD. I don't have the CD handy. Can it somehow just download what it needs? [02:58] how would i uninstall mysql apache and php5 form terminal [02:58] sebsebseb, oh ok. are there 're-spins'? [02:58] Flannel: the ISO MD5 matched up. Is there a way I can do the CD integrity check from the grub boot screen? I'm not getting that option right now. [02:58] neher - it seems to have been in Hardy and Gutsy, I can't find a reference to it having been fixed. If so, there are instructions on how to sort it out on the page that details the problem. [02:58] MHz128: no you install one, and then can have the others just like that to [02:58] shawn-p: Software sources -> untick the CD thing [02:58] sebsebseb, 10 4, thanks [02:58] bruce89: I'll try playing it in my virtual machine. See what happens there. Speaking of which, would you OR ANYONE know how to make a folder shared? SO I can access that folder from the vbox? [02:58] MHz128: 10 4 what? [02:58] shawn-p - remove the line that references the CD from /etc/apt/sources.list of do what bruce89 said...

[03:20] <_dean_> zeroyez: the root account is 'locked' so if you login in single usermode there is no password [03:20] TimewornShadow: depends if the PC you have supports USB boot [03:20] TimewornShadow: it is possible though [03:20] ok [03:20] i chose "allow root login" on the install [03:20] I am looking for a MYSQL gui tool... any sugestions?

I use none to be sincere [03:24] <_dean_> Do you mean that it is the minimal cd which downloads files from the Internet? [03:25] alright, i booted into recovery mode and used drop to root shell [03:25] then used passwd [03:25] _dean_ yes [03:25] <_dean_> So you set the root's password now [03:25] Hello!

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [04:13] wolter: what do you mean by 'SSH share'? [04:14] RoastedTiresX, in your test - your disk wasn't mounted and sure enough, rsync will write to the directory that you assumed was the mount point - but that's not the same as a disk failing half-way through a rsync, [04:14] ghoti, i really don't know.. I just know that mac, linux and windows can easily share files via ssh [04:14] Very true [04:14] ghoti, how do I share then? [04:14] do you have SSH servers on each of the computers you wish to access files on? [04:14] ghoti, a gui would be awesome. [04:14] hi everyone. I'm about to do a clean install of ubuntu. I've been using gnome for a long time but am considering going kubuntu instead. as there are several things about gnome which bug me or things i think it needs [04:14] ghoti, i want to make a one on my machine so i can, from a mac, copy files to it. [04:14] What OS do you wish to use a GUI with? [04:15] how does KDE stack up against gnome? (NOTE: hope this doesn't turn into a flame war) [04:15] nottaken, you'll find that kde will bug you even more, there's alot of things that just dont work right with kde4 [04:15] ghoti, ubuntu [04:15] wolter, File/Connect To Server - choose SSH there [04:15] so you want oto access files on a Ubuntu box from a mac, correct? [04:15] * ghoti points at what unop said [04:15] does kde have the same graphics support? [04:16] nottaken: Yes, they both use Xorg [04:16] yes [04:16] ok [04:16] unop, i need to make a share on my computer and connect to it from a mac. [04:16] ghoti, correct. [04:16] wolter, through ssh right? just install the openssh-server package [04:16] wolter: apt-get install openssh-server if you haven't already [04:17] wolter: To "make a share" just install openssh-server, to access it from the mac use sshfs [04:17] hello [04:17] there's no 'making a share' with SSH/scp [04:17] wolter, i'm not sure how you mount a remote share on Mac OS X .. but I guess there's a mac channel somewhere if you don't know how. [04:17] xxx: hi [04:17] Jordan_U, yeah but how do I connect to my share? I can't install anything on the mac, its not mine. [04:17] wolter: yeah #Mac === xxx is now known as Guest14876 [04:17] whats program can i use to open a .bin file? i got .iso mounted with giso and gmount but i need to view the videos insde the .bin [04:18] ce_imut [04:18] wolter, you shouldn't need to install anything on the Mac, i don't think. just figure out how to use ssh on it. [04:18] Ok. [04:18] wolter: If you can't install anything on the mac then you need to use the scp command to copy files, or use samba instead of ssh [04:18] Guest14876: if its a video, mplayer can [04:20] Hey are there some of you there knows how you can make your pidgin look cool ? [04:21] you can't [04:22] Hi, when I type sudo apt-get install build-essential I ge this error msg E: Couldn't Find Package build-essential [04:22] TaG^, sudo apt-get update # first [04:22] hey how do I initiate a sleep on command? [04:23] so, i managed to score a second video card and have an extra monitor around... and to no surprise, after installing the nvidia drivers, xorg did not like the setup, said no screens, can someone point me to a nice guide to reset up xorg with 2 cards and 2 monitors? [04:23] sudo shutdown -s it not it [04:23] disappearedng: there is also this graphical program you will find useful I expect gshutdown [04:23] I set up something so that when i move my mouse to the upper left hand corner of the screen it show the desktop, I need to turn that off but can't remember where i turn that on at. anyone have any ideas where i should check? [04:24] tech0007: its not a video === Guest14876 is now known as Bigjalowos [04:24] is there a suspend though for command line [04:24] Othor: compiz or brightside [04:24] hello how do i mount a .bin file ?

[04:25] its a torrent file.. with .bin and iso of courses [04:25] cisco courses [04:25] Bigjalowos: if you click the link ubottu gave you, it should tell you about bchunk (in the repositories) [04:25] aah i was tryign to avoid converting [04:25] jrib: i have been looking though it for ever now and can't seem to find it...lol [04:26] disappearedng: what do you mean by "suspend"? [04:26] Othor: it's pretty obvious in simple-ccsm [04:27] is it possible to install ubuntu if your machine refuses to boot from a CD?

[04:28] brandon_thomson: iotop would be one way === rew is now known as rews [04:28] bruce89, i seem to be gettin everything of the partition, im copying one folder at a time with testdisk to a ext3 partition, after im done(If i get that far) can i copy everything to a ntfs and boot it ? [04:29] jrib: that worked thanks for the help! [04:29] Dreamglider: depends what you mean by "boot it" [04:29] jrib: perfect! thanks [04:29] bruce89, starr windowsXP [04:29] I doubt that'll work [04:30] Jordan_U, what is scp ? [04:30] I thought you ran dd with the if and of the wrong way round? [04:30] !scp [04:30] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [04:30] Jordan_U, source copy I guess? [04:30] bruce89, what if all the stuff on the ntfs was at the end of the partition ! [04:30] my guess would be "secure copy" [04:30] wp says secure copy [04:31] Jordan_U, bruce89 well, mac doesn't have ssh installed by default. [04:31] yes it does [04:31] Dreamglider: you've been lucky [04:31] bruce89, yeah.. i hadn't read the !scp [04:31] (assuming OS X) [04:31] ghoti: not enabled by default though, right? [04:31] the *server* is not [04:31] but you can SSH from the terminal at any time [04:31] !who | ghoti [04:31] ghoti: 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 :) [04:31] yes, you are right [04:32] I don't know if the 'connect to server' tool speaks SCP/SSH though === b-man_ubuntu is now known as b-ubuntu [04:32] If it does not [04:32] you could look into FileZilla [04:32] wolter: Hey Wolter .. do you know what i need to write in Terminal to install this "72611-PidginScreenlet-0.3.3" ? [04:32] which is a great FTP/SCP/SFTP GUI tools [04:32] my general principle is to direct things at people only if there is someone else talking at the same time [04:32] http://filezilla-project.org/download.php [04:32] ghoti, well, the mac apparently recognizes the ssh command from the terminal. [04:32] wolter: Hey Wolter .. do you know what i need to write in Terminal to install this "72611-PidginScreenlet-0.3.3.tar.gz" ? [04:33] lets remember mac is unix under the hood, like they say. [04:33] !repeat | Blade [04:33] Blade: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [04:33] Blade, well, you have to extract it to begin with. [04:33] Blade: you would have to read the documentation. Start by extracting it and looking inside for a README or INSTALL file [04:33] Blade, rclick, extract here [04:33] Blade, what jrib said. [04:33] wolter: yes i have done that :) [04:34] wolter: okay ill chekc [04:34] jrib: alright :) [04:34] wolter: there's no need to relay messages [04:34] bruce89, what do you mean? [04:35] jrib directed it at Blade, so saying "what jrib said" has no effect [04:36] bruce89: I think he just meant that wolter and I were giving the same advice [04:36] * bruce89 really should count to ten before launching into a tirade [04:36] or just use /msg :) [04:37] jrib: Well, there are no readme or installation file, there are only those files " themes, PidginScreenlet.py, ThemeParser.py, menu.xml and Screenlet.package" [04:37] hrmm, this channel is dead [04:37] Blade: sorry, I don't know anything about screenlets. Is it some sort of compiz thing? [04:37] What is the name of the network manager? [04:37] Blade: do you have a screenlets tool installed? [04:37] usr13_: network-manager? nm-applet? What do you mean? [04:38] bruce89, i managed to connect to my computer and succesfully loged in from the mac. [04:38] jrib: its okay, i dont understand it either ;) [04:38] network-manager [04:38] bruce89, now, how do I mount folders to the mac's desktop, do you happen to know? [04:38] ghoti: Hm .. no, do i need that ? [04:38] Blade: such as "screenlets" for example? If you run that, there might be a way to install the screenlet package within it. [04:38] wolter: nope [04:38] !screenlets [04:38] Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [04:38] Blade: yes, screenlets are applets that are run my a sort of.. [04:38] * ghoti points up [04:39] network-manager: command not found [04:39] that's a bit wrong, any composting manager will work [04:39] i don't get sound while playing totem but i get sound with mplayer. any idea??? === ectodozing is now known as ectospasm [04:39] * bruce89 didn't mean composting manager [04:39] job_: it's possible totem speaks (for example) pulseaudio, whilse mplayer only speaks ALSA [04:40] !screenlets =~ s/have/have a compositing window manager such as/ [04:40] I'll remember that jrib [04:40] is totem also tied to audacious and xmms? because those two don't play either [04:40] I'm unsure [04:40] bruce89: better? [04:40] jrib: indeed [04:40] job_: not really. What's the issue? [04:41] ghoti: i have tried "sudo apt-get install screenlet-package" but it cant find anything :( [04:41] Blade: try apt-get install screenlets [04:41] nm-applet, that's it.

[05:13] I like getting ubottu involved [05:13] I think bruce89 was just trying to nip a 'holy war' in the bud [05:13] so to speak [05:13] probably [05:13] good call too [05:13] I couldn't find a better thing than stop [05:13] though I assert that the CLI uses less RAM than any GUI :p [05:14] true, but you also don't have all the features of a GUI [05:14] !fact [05:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about fact [05:14] such as images [05:14] mplayer can, technically play video in CLI [05:14] you've never heard of ascii art [05:14] images are overrated. ASCII art uber alles! [05:14] how do I set my cpu speed ? [05:14] hanasaki: you don't [05:14] hanasaki: in the bios [05:15] bruce89: I mean images such as HD movies, stuff like that [05:15] ?? huh? I found powernowd-k8 [05:15] hanasaki: in the CPU selection process when you're building the computer :) [05:15] not ascii art [05:15] anthonys: there was a ascii feed of the football world cup [05:15] anthonys: http://ascii-wm.net/ [05:16] bruce89: tech0007 ghoti I have it overclocked to 2.8GHz but the panel applet only shows 2.5 max [05:16] Could someone reproduce this bug? Open a file in GVim, turn on syntax highlighting, and scroll around to see the CPU go crazy at 100%? [05:16] bruce89: it was much more fun on an HDTV [05:16] * bruce89 didn't know HD existed in 2006 [05:16] bruce89: it did, but it wasn't used much [05:16] bruce89: I worked on HD in 1990 in japan [05:16] !ot [05:16] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:16] hanasaki: if your cpu supports freq scaling, you can adjust it using cpufreq-selector (GUI) [05:16] just kidding [05:17] I know [05:17] cpufreq-selector [05:17] Failed to acquire org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector: Connection ":1.141" is not allowed to own the service "org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector" due to security policies in the configuration file [05:17] difficult to detect sarcasm [05:17] In my case, just assume it's there :) [05:17] one of the only problems of IRC [05:17] Geep: what about that error? [05:17] my load is at 2 and its kinda hard to use firefox [05:17] !sarcasm [05:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about sarcasm [05:17] WebcamWonder, about 35% CPU taken up for a 500 line file - that's expected. [05:18] unop: Continous scrolling? [05:18] WebcamWonder, yea [05:18] hanasaki: try sudo cpufreq-selector [05:18] Is anyone in here having problems with gnome-terminal? The charactors on screen don't seem to be refreshing correctly...

I am on intrepid, and the gvim that comes with it (will check the version), and when I do some scrolling with even a 100 line file in C syntax, or even type in new stuff in GVim, both my cores scream at 100% [05:19] ok apt finds drbd8-utils but can't find the other drbd8 packages [05:19] !info gvim [05:19] Package gvim does not exist in intrepid [05:19] any ideas? [05:19] !info drbd8-module-source [05:19] Package drbd8-module-source does not exist in intrepid [05:19] how about hardy? [05:19] WebcamWonder, I suppose this also depends on the type of video card you have, driver and how much VideoRAM the card has too - having said that, my card only has 128MB [05:19] hanasaki: I haven't dealt with it in a while, but I used http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ as a source when I did. [05:20] alguien habla español soy nuevo con esto [05:20] WebcamWonder, that's really odd [05:20] Package gvim does not exist in jaunty [05:20] !es | dc_361 [05:20] dc_361: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[05:37] bruce89, nvidia vid card is about all [05:37] so if you need that, then 32-bit would be the way to go [05:37] gparted* [05:38] SeaPhor: that's fine, I have that myself [05:38] Dreamglider: should do [05:38] Fahmy: make sure your cd is error free. Give it another try, if it doesn't work. then try using wubi [05:38] dronix i did that test. [05:38] what is wubi ? [05:38] -_- [05:39] wubi is a windows installer for ubuntu. It install ubuntu from within windows. [05:39] Fahmy: it lets you install Ubuntu into Windows as a normal application, letting you test Ubuntu w/o a CD, also making it easily removable if you don't like it [05:39] Fahmy: your computer only has 256MB of RAM, right? You might look into ubuntu; it's made for less powerful computers [05:39] bruce89, cool, cause i just tried recordmydesktop and its really messed up, my guess is i need more ram, 3g just not enough [05:39] !wubi [05:39] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [05:39] Fahmy: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/xubuntu [05:40] PoetOfShadows i first tried to use the the isntall on windows option, it said, the memory i have is 255 and that may cause a problem. [05:40] SeaPhor: 3g not enough? [05:40] Fahmy: probably better off with the alternate CD, the use of Python in the graphical installer means it requrires loads of RAM [05:40] yigal, nope, the vid is all messed up [05:40] Fahmy: I believe the minimum for Ubuntu installation is 256 MB, so it might be a problem during install [05:41] SeaPhor: that's vid, not mem. though [05:41] I'm gonna say to follow bruce89's advice here [05:41] bruce89 what is the alternate cd ?? [05:41] SeaPhor: the driver [05:41] Fahmy: xubuntu only needs 192MB for the installation, so that might be a better fit for your computer. [05:41] !alternate [05:41] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [05:41] !minimal [05:41] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:41] Fahmy: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/xubuntu [05:41] is xorg still used by ubuntu? [05:41] wow, ubottu should be fully automated [05:41] yigal: of course [05:42] bruce89: ok, I'm using arch and I heard you had some auto. deal going on [05:42] yigal, does fine for normal recording, but i was recording a session of me playing City of Heroes- heavy fight scene [05:43] SeaPhor: interesting, not a gamer myself, so I should desist from any comments :) [05:43] This is terrible..

[05:58] dr_willis yes, I know, operative word 'should' :) [05:58] !ati [05:58] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:58] Mushrooms: possibly, or you might be able to mess with grub and make it auto boot into the old one… [05:58] mib_03esio: depends on what you mean by 'support' exactly :)' [05:58] hi. i installed ubuntu yesterday on my laptop. i hibernated it and it worked just fine. but it didnt recover back. got stuck at the loading screen which says "Ubuntu" [05:58] PoetOfShadows: yeah messing with grub would probably be easier, since i just have to edit the entry [05:58] thanks for all the help guys [05:58] ghoti: i have this ati crad but ubuntu cant get any modules/drivers for it [05:58] PoetOfShadows: but lets have a look at this header thing from synaptic first [05:58] gladiator: yeah there's issues with stuff like that, I think it's to do with the kernel [05:59] gladiator: Kernel is not that good for power management still I think [05:59] sebsebseb: is there a solution? [05:59] Mushrooms: you could also use SUM to have it boot into the old one… That's probably the easiest [05:59] gladiator: maybe depending on what hardware you have exactly and so on [05:59] mib_03esio: did you enable third-party and non-free sources in System->Administration->Software Sources? [06:00] PoetOfShadows: oh? could you please walk me through on that one? [06:00] I'm trying to share out a dail up connection with a NAT between the ppp device and the local eth0. It works fine except when the connection is redailed and a new address is assigned to the ppp device. I then have to update the route manually before any internet traffic will start flowing again. Any ways to automate this?? [06:00] its not really about power management. but where can i find info on this issue? [06:00] gladiator: don't know [06:00] Mushrooms: I'm not at my Ubuntu box right now, so 'twould be kinda hard (damn GUI) [06:00] gladiator: ubuntuforums.org may havey our soloution though [06:00] sebsebseb: thanks [06:01] Mushrooms: but SUM is pretty intuitive, I don't you'll have that much trouble… [06:01] gladiator: yep nearly every issue been covered there some where [06:01] tell me abt gtalx [06:01] sebsebseb: i just googled. top results are requests to get it fixed :) so i doubt there is one [06:01] gladiator: ok :d [06:01] PoetOfShadows: oh right, well i found the kernel files in synaptic and set it to remove [06:01] !search gtalx | vineeth [06:01] Found: trash, neon-#kubuntu-kde4, xfce4-panel, wobblywu-#ubuntu-offtopic, kdesu, neon, xfce-panels, kde4, gtalk, wink [06:01] PoetOfShadows: i'll try that first [06:01] gladiator: what did you go google by the way? [06:02] problem with Toshiba Portege 3505: I don't believe wireless is functional on this laptop; I have an entry for a device in iwconfig (and I can change settings here), but no reasonable entry in lspci (-vv)... how can I definitively tell whether or not it works? [06:02] ubuntu hibernate [06:02] ok [06:02] bruce89, ok,,, not understanding, i started an app in cli, ctrl+c is NOT ending it, it persists, but if possible i woulf like it to save what its done but end now [06:02] Mushrooms: try it, but I'm not sure that that would be the best idea… [06:02] Does anyone else have a problem with Firefox locking down the sound system, so nothing else can play audio? I have to kill firefox to free up the sound resources...(Ubuntu 8.04 & Firefox 3.0.4) [06:02] is it support voice chat?

[06:02] suspend cancelled by VLC playing some file error, whats all that about ?

[06:10] Mushrooms: try SUM [06:10] vineeth: you should do native Linux software :) and if you need something Windows try Wine and commercail versions of that, no luck there, then do a Virtualbox virtual machine. and you need the non OSE for USB suppourt from their site http://www.virtualbox.org [06:10] i tried pidgin empathy,gnash,kopet all are waste as voice is concerned [06:10] !virtualbox [06:10] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

I am trying to get the card connected to an ad-hoc network... the settings get set for the card, but I'm not convinced that the card is installed [06:11] vineeth: gnash isn't an IM client [06:11] vineeth: and it meant free as in freedom in that thing not price, so the closed source version is also free as in price [06:11] Othor: it is [06:12] anyone out there playing around with XFCE 4.6 [06:12] vineeth: ok how much RAM do you have?

[06:14] is hibernate / suspend related to compiz? [06:14] maybe [06:15] to some extent [06:15] sanjud: should I be convinced? I am not convinced because I don't remember installing it and I can't see an entry for the card in lspci... there's only an ethernet card listed (unless they are coupled). This is on kubuntu 8.10 [06:15] Mushrooms: yep, that sounds like the one [06:15] it had ubuntu but it ran slow due to the processor damage [06:15] PoetOfShadows: ok, giving that a shot now [06:15] gladiator, yes it is [06:15] stormchas2000: ok well with the correct distro Linux breathes life into old hardware, but by the sounds of it does into screwed up hardware as well, but one day your lap top might screw up properly if using damaged processor [06:15] SeaPhor: so it can potentially fix the hibernate issue if i disable it? [06:15] i run ubuntu on everything else [06:16] gladiator, possibly, let me guess.. ati? [06:16] when it finally dies i will replace the whole thing, [06:17] jontec-> can you post the results of iwconfig; ifconfig; route -n; cat /etc/network/interfaces ?

It works fine except everytime it connects i have to update the route manually before any traffic will pass. Any thoughts on automating this?? [06:17] ? [06:17] microphone [06:18] my house down in florida was hit knocked out everything, I had to replace a TV, and Two computers [06:18] sanjud: yes, I will pastebin... one sec [06:18] stratman4300: You have to update the default gateway? [06:18] stormchas2000: heh I see [06:19] you know.. sometimes people make bots sound a little to human like... :) [06:19] jordan_u: Correct... everytime i reconnect the modem obtains a new address..... and no traffic flows until I run route add default gw (new address here) [06:19] gladiator, i am a linux tester for HP, and all of the power-management tests have to be done twice- once with compiz enabled, and again with disabled [06:19] stratman4300: Are you connecting via network-manager? It's odd that the connection gets an ip address from DHCP ( I assume ) but not the default gateway [06:20] SeaPhor: I want your job [06:20] SeaPhor: you are? i have an HP! [06:20] ExistentialTech, trust me,,, no you dont...lol [06:20] PoetOfShadows: very nice, just reconfigured, and rebooting now [06:21] SeaPhor, suppose it sounds better written down? [06:21] SeaPhor: so that means that its not a compiz issue? [06:21] Mushrooms: hope that this one works [06:21] jordan_u yes i'm using the network-manager... it also works after a reconnect if i disconnect my local network cable... it's like the gateway on the local eth0 needs to be updated everytime a new ppp connection is made [06:21] SeaPhor: I have a pavilion dv 9500t. out of curiosity, when testing my sound capture device, do you knwo what hise means? gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for recording. === lacqui_ is now known as lacqui [06:22] hello [06:22] PoetOfShadows: yeah it's awesome, i see my wifi card's lights light up now, seems to work. [06:22] stratman4300: How are you determining what to enter as the default gateway? [06:22] Mushrooms: that's great [06:22] Mushrooms: glad I could be of service [06:22] sanjud: http://pastie.org/410706 [06:22] PoetOfShadows: thanks for your help, i guess, i'll skip the next kernel update until .24 [06:22] gladiator, it is and it isnt,,, right now the graphix card ppl are trying to come up with a way to support it but because windoz cant do it yet they are behind [06:22] Mushrooms: unless you wanna have to do this again, I'd do that too [06:23] stratman4300: Ahh, that makes sense as you can only have one default gateway so if you are getting dhcp from multiple sources I see how it could cause problems [06:23] Jordan_U I'm entering the IP that the ppp device obtains when it connects. It's issued a new address by the ISP with every reconnect [06:23] 试试 [06:23] !utf | tcm [06:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about utf [06:23] PoetOfShadows: hehe, i haven't lost faith in linux _yet_ even though there has been ups and downs [06:24] jontec-> it looks good [06:24] Mushrooms: trust me, I know how you feel [06:24] windows cant do what? and i dont know much about this stuff but isnt hibernate related more to saving the state of your processes and all on to disk? how is it so dependent on the graphics card? [06:24] jordan_U: the local eth0 connection is static.... i need to share this connection out to multiple pcs so it has to be static [06:24] i have mounted a remote share as root in the fstab file. I wan tot give access to a normal user on the system access to the folder. Presently i am getting permission denied to view the folder as this suer. Do i need to mount it as someone else so that normal users can see the contents? [06:24] i am the first time to come here [06:25] sanjud: so it's not the card, then? It was installed/setup/configured out of the box? [06:25] SearPhor: Also, i am reading comments on ubuntuforums and apparently it works like a charm on fedora core 9 :S [06:25] risingfish, that is not hp- specific- that is in whatever your set (default) device drivers output for faults [06:25] stratman4300: If it's sharing to other computers and it's static then you don't have a default gateway related to your eth0 connection, correct? [06:26] PoetOfShadows: thanks again for your help, im going to get back to work now [06:26] jontec-> well per what you post, it indicates thats it is there.. can you also post the sudo lshw -C network results? [06:26] Mushrooms: no problem, it's like 1:30 where I live; gotta get to bed [06:26] 6:30 here [06:26] PoetOfShadows: lol ok, cya good night [06:26] gnight [06:26] Jordan_U on the eth0 connection i pointed the PC at itself... as this machine is going to basically be a glorified router.... should i leave that blank?? [06:26] bruce89: oh your from UK as well [06:27] sebsebseb: no, Scotland [06:27] jordan_u: would it then use the gateway obtained by the Dail up connection?? [06:27] bruce89: yes which is a part of UK [06:27] that was an attempt at humour [06:27] bruce89: so like me haven't gone to bed yet? :d [06:27] nope [06:27] Hi. I want to dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows XP. How large a partition do I need for Windows XP, characteristically? [06:27] sebastien, (not to some scotts) [06:27] stratman4300: Yes, there should be no default gateway assigned related to eth0 and I think removing the static default gateway should solve the problem [06:27] unperson: depends what your going to use XP for [06:28] Jordan_U: k i have to disconnect to test but i'[ll be back. Thanks [06:28] !rsync > dayo [06:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync [06:28] SeaPhor: maybe so, but like it or not they are part of UK [06:28] dayo-> why not man rsync [06:29] SeaPhor: ,but yeah they have their own goverment ot [06:29] to [06:29] sanjud: yeah [06:29] for now [06:29] sanjud: updated at http://pastie.org/410706 [06:29] sebsebseb, Clearly, but I'm not looking for an exact figure here, just a ball park. If I want to run XP, have a couple of games and maybe office installed, what is the ballpark of space required? [06:29] sebastien, hey back off, I'm from Texas, lol [06:29] unperson: most of Office 2003 and 2007 runs well under Wine [06:30] unperson: plus Ubuntu can have, Open Office, KOffice, Abiword :), and Gnumeric [06:30] sebsebseb, My experience is that it's crashes with reasonable regularity. [06:30] unperson, 6g min [06:30] How do I make my joystick work in Ubuntu? [06:30] Thanks seaphor. is it better to specify the output device as acl268 (alsa) ubstead if "ALSA - adavanced linus soud architecture"> [06:30] jontec-> yeah it looked good, line 30 confirms your driver is loaded [06:30] unperson: how about running XP in a vm inside Ubuntu? [06:31] unperson, that allows for updates and docs [06:31] unperson: maybe with a dual boot as well depending on your games [06:31] Unperson, I made a mistake and didn't give windows enough partition so I found that i just live with it and so far everything I needed was here except a few windows only apps. [06:31] sebsebseb, The others are fine programs (probably my preference) but sometimes you have to jointly edit stuff in MS formats and conversion issues are too much. [06:31] unperson: I see ok [06:31] so I guess figure out what is only used on windows and then select the size you need for those apps [06:32] unperson: well you can have XP inside Ubuntu and do MS Office there [06:32] sanjud: alright, thanks very much :D I'm quite surprised. [06:32] SeaPhor, Okay. That seems commensurate with numbers I see people using in examples on the web. [06:32] risingfish, no, go with OSS [06:32] unperson: or give it another try with the latest wine, get that by adding the repo from http://www.winehq.org === andyh2 is now known as andyh2|away [06:33] quick question. could it be possible that my hibernate is not working because my ram size is more than my swap space? [06:33] stormchas2000, Live with "it" being Linux? [06:33] unperson, if you're looking at a dual boot tho... [06:34] Hello, can I use Ubuntu 64bit wubi on windows vista? [06:34] unperson: and the virtual machine software I would recommend is Virtualbox, and you need the non OSE, the binary from their site for USB suppourt http://www.virtualbox.org [06:34] Datz1: Wubi hummmmmm [06:34] unperson, go with min 15 gb, just so you can swap some stuff [06:34] Datz1: you should partition your hard disk :) [06:35] sebsebseb: But I don't wanna [06:35] :) [06:35] unperson, whell I decided to find out exactly what Ubuntu could do so I stayed in forums like this a learned, so that I didnt have to use windows anymore so I choose to live with it meaning i didnt go back and change [06:35] Also I don't see a 64 bit torrent. Is there one? [06:35] sebsebseb, I had actually been using crossover, which should perform better than even the latest wine, I think. But in any case, the reason is sort of the combo of games and the ability to run office occasionally. I've been trying games under crossover, but some seem to run too slow and many aren't supported at all. [06:35] Datz1: setting up a dual boot is not that difficult, and having Ubuntu inside the Windows partition is not a very good idea, for obvious reasons, think about it what happens if Windows screws up properly, well then Ubuntu does as well [06:35] Jordan_U: that appears to have fixed the issue... i reconnected 3 times.... got 3 different addresses and i didn't have to update the default gw once :) [06:35] unperson, unless you're needing bare minimums, ten 10g [06:35] Jordan_U: thanks i appreciate the help :D [06:36] SeaPhor, Thanks for the advice. That's very helpful. [06:36] stratman4300: np :) [06:36] unperson: well how about Windows on a dual boot for games, but also in a vm for Office? [06:36] sebsebseb: I have dual boot set up on my other machine, I kinda want wubi on my laptop. [06:36] SeaPhor, Honestly, the last time I ran windows was Win2000, so I don't know what to expect from XP. [06:36] Datz1: well quite a lot of people woudn't recommend it :) not just me [06:36] Datz1: ,but wubi will probably be ok, unless your Vista buggers up properly and then so does Ubuntu [06:37] I just want to know if there is a problem installing a 64bit wubi on a 32 vista system [06:37] !help joystick [06:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about help joystick [06:37] Datz1: probably no problem at all [06:37] erm... [06:37] !joystick [06:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about joystick [06:37] Datz1: Shouldn't be [06:37] Datz1: wubi has a 64bit version????// [06:37] sebsebseb: I don't know. [06:37] stormchas2000, This will actually be the first time I'll be using Windows on one of my computers in years. [06:37] partially why I came here. :) [06:37] unperson, this is way off topic for channel, if you want OT go to #ubuntu-ot or my channel, #seaphor [06:37] sebsebseb: Yeah, it does [06:37] hello, where could I find some java projects to volunteer with [06:38] Datz1: Do you have a 64 bit CPU installed? [06:38] !ot | someABC [06:38] someABC: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:38] Until_It_Sleeps: Yes [06:38] someABC-> bleeding edge? join apache cocoon2 projects [06:38] CPU = T7200 ;) [06:38] SeaPhor, That's cool. All I wanted was info about the partitioning for dual booting, which seemed to be on topic too me. [06:38] .window 1 [06:38] sorry [06:38] unperson: why wubi on lap top? [06:39] thats what I am going after too. [06:39] how do i disable compiz? [06:39] sanjud -> thank you [06:39] unperson, oh ok, well i can say this for me I should have left 10 to 15 gigs, in order to use windows properly, so you will need enough to load the programs and windows plus an addtional 10 to 15 gigs min. [06:39] gladiator: System -> Prefs -> Apperence -> Visual Effects -> None [06:39] gladiator: run metacity --replace [06:40] stormchas2000: yeah that sounds about right at least 10GB for XP [06:40] stormchas2000, Thanks for your input. [06:40] unperson: yep what I just said [06:40] thanks WebcamWonder, FlareDS [06:40] gladiator, go to system>Pref...>appearance [06:40] gakkun: np [06:41] oops [06:41] I am not a tech and I am still new, what i said was only what would have worked for me. [06:41] gladiator: np [06:41] seaphor: i'm getting sound on the output tests now using oss but i am still unable to record. i did install ubuntu after downloading it. does hp offer any spcific drivers for this? [06:41] SeaPhor: someone beat you to it, and I was going to type it, but I saw that person already beated me to it [06:41] One last question about dual booting. If the NTFS support good enough at this point that I can just read and write to an NTFS partiton (without needing a FAT32 partition to share data)? [06:42] unperson: yep it is [06:42] unperson: Yup [06:42] unperson, has been for some time' [06:42] unperson: yeap [06:42] Great. [06:42] sebsebseb, yeah, i type slow, lol [06:42] seaphor: ie not preinstalloed. i dont knoe if hp offers that optiojn [06:42] unperson: if you are wanting to play new games i would say to use more then 10-15gb some of the games coming out now user upwards to 8gb by them selfs [06:42] Dr_willis, Well, it's been some time since I needed to worry about writing to a windows partition (probably >4 years). [06:43] SeaPhor: I was looking at menu for some reason, even though I known where that setting is since uhmmmmm let's see. well ages ago heh. I been with Ubuntu since second release. Fedora Core 2 and 4 before that [06:43] Could anyone let me know if there is away to include scim input engines that is not put in default scim IMEngine path to work with scim so that no root privilege is required? Thanks in advance. [06:43] Othor, Good to know. I suppose it would be prudent for me to check out the sizes of some games. [06:43] sebsebseb: I've been with since dapper [06:44] unperson: np [06:44] I disabled compiz and tried hibernation. it appears to be working fine. its disappointing though :( [06:44] unperson: Linux has good native games as well. in fact go to google and put in 42 of the best linux games [06:44] hello :) [06:44] with it* [06:44] unperson: linuxlinks.com or whatever the site was, did quite a few gaming articles 42 of the best wine games etc [06:44] hello [06:44] !hi | reduxify [06:44] reduxify: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:44] i am very new [06:44] Dr_willis, Whenever it was I last had to worry about it, reading from NTFS worked by writing either didn't exist at all or was considered unreliable, I think.

[06:45] wanttotryubuntu: ok what do you want help with? [06:45] or Could anyone confirm that the paths in scim is hardcoded so that there is no possibilty using custom input methods without having root privilege? [06:45] sebsebseb: nope [06:45] wanttotryubuntu: lol :d :) yep 100% free as in price, but also freedom, you can learn about that later [06:45] i have an old ibm 8305 pc that i put xubuntu on. i get the following error at boot time: MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC [06:45] risingfish, i am not a dev at hp, only a tester, and only know what i test, i'm not privy to much else, so not sure what drivers you are referring to [06:45] it was my first linux that i had ever messed with [06:45] I can't find md5 checksum hash for 8.10 to check my iso download. Are they posted somewhere? [06:45] sebsebseb i am having a problem with it .. it works well at my friends place but it shows me different linux [06:45] now, i can put noapic in the boot line and it works fine, but i'm wondering if i'm disabling something important, since i don't really know what apic is :p [06:46] !checksum [06:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about checksum [06:46] wanttotryubuntu: differnet Linux????? [06:46] it appears that there is a .scim folder in $HOME but replicated scim folders in that directory does not seem to help at all . . . [06:46] Datz1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [06:46] sebsebseb, Thanks. In this case it's games I have in hand (gifts and much older stuff that isn't supported on wine AFAIK). But yeah, there are some good Linux games. I like wesnoth, for example.

Thank you for humoring me. [06:47] unperson: as for wine you can get a lot of stuff working if you configure stuff, http://www.appdb.winehq.org [06:47] unperson, sauerbraten is in the repos ;-) [06:47] wanttotryubuntu: I see ok, how much RAM does your computer have?

[06:49] wanttotryubuntu: weird issue, you should be able to get the live session [06:50] Winblows* [06:50] i've seen the busybox problem before [06:50] sebsebseb .. i have one sata 2 hard drive of 500 gb and one DVD writer .. again sata connect .. dont know if its sata 1 or 2 [06:50] or mioo ? [06:50] maybe there is something wrong with the live cd he has [06:50] it can happen if ubuntu tries to mount a software raid array, for example [06:50] there's a few others things too [06:51] ok, the friends cd did not work, so i downloaded this ---> same issue .. i could not find one for intel though [06:51] getting filename brb [06:51] ubuntu-8.10-desktop-amd64.iso <--- may be its only for AMD ? i could not find download for intel [06:51] wanttotryubuntu: ok get the correct CD and md5sum the ISO before burning as well [06:52] wanttotryubuntu: you sure you got 64bit? [06:52] intel = i386 [06:52] not AMD [06:52] mine is a 64 bit processor [06:52] FlareDS: right, but theres 64bit Intel as well, and the Ubuntu ISO just calls it all AMD [06:52] this one gives the same busy box too .. brb getting file name [06:52] the use the AMD64 one [06:52] sebsebseb, All Core 2 procs are 64-bit [06:53] sebsebseb: I know this hehe [06:53] ubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-i386.iso <--- this one is the CD that friend gave me, it has no problems, it works perfectly at his home [06:53] wanttotryubuntu: ok that's the previous version [06:53] wanttotryubuntu: have you tried 8.10 yet? [06:53] wanttotryubuntu, AMD64 is just the name they use for the 64-bit x86 instructions. It includes Core 2 chips. [06:53] so why does ubuntu call it AMD only ? its confusing for new people with intel processors [06:53] Its a legacy name not an Ubuntu thing [06:54] wanttotryubuntu: ,becaus AMD made 64bit first [06:54] anyways, getting back to the problem , i dont want buysbox linux [06:54] the name AMD was decided ages ago,. :) [06:54] wanttotryubuntu: yes have you treid 8.10? [06:54] wanttotryubuntu: your friend has 8.04 the previous version [06:54] irc://irc.freenode.net/ubuntu-fr [06:54] hold on [06:54] wanttotryubuntu, AMD were the first ones to make a 64-bit extension to x86, IIRC, so everyone used to call it that. Now some people use the term x86_64 [06:54] yes, these both versions above do not show me ubuntu .. they show me busybox [06:54] huh, so if I get AMD64 bit it will work with i386 cpu? [06:54] !fr | movizdb [06:54] movizdb: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [06:55] wanttotryubuntu: what kind of processor is in your machine? [06:55] wanttotryubuntu, so for some reason they are crashuing on your machine. [06:55] crashing* [06:55] * FlareDS is a perfectionist [06:55] Pefrudunctist [06:55] Intel(R)core2quad CPU [06:55] get it right [06:55] wanttotryubuntu: other good Linux distros you can try, if Ubuntu causes to much problems on your machine [06:55] sorry :) [06:55] :) [06:55] no wonder. [06:56] he's getting dumped to busybox because of the quad core extension crap. try the 32-bit version. [06:56] some machines are just quirky. [06:56] Q6600 @ 2.40 gh [06:56] wanttotryubuntu, Busybox is an environment that's used during the boot process of ubuntu. If your install is screwed up somehow and the boot doesn't complete properly, sometimes you get spit out in the busybox environment. [06:56] Dr_willis: :P [06:56] wanttotryubuntu, But that doesn't mean you got "the wrong linux" or anything. [06:57] wanttotryubuntu: you can try the 32bit version or another Linux distro in 64bit [06:57] ok, i still have a few questions .. my friend's pc is EXACTLY same there is not a single hardware difference [06:57] brb [06:57] ce_imoet [06:57] then why it works at his place ? [06:57] * SeaPhor thinks wanttotryubuntu is a Mr-Sloppy troll, (busybox=deadgiveaway) [06:58] SeaPhor: why? [06:58] seaphor i did not get you but i know what a webtroll is, i do read forums and blogs a lot [ i am related to financial advising and forex treading ] [06:58] wanttotryubuntu: where are you from? India or some where like that? [06:58] yes i am from india seb [06:58] * FlareDS laughs [06:59] FlareDS: there was a guy just now from India in fact [06:59] FlareDS: seems some Indians are coming here [06:59] are we not welcomed here ? [06:59] wanttotryubuntu: of course you are [06:59] thank you [06:59] no of course u r he didnt mean it like that [06:59] wanttotryubuntu: there's also a channel in your language [06:59] no, its just a joke about microsoft [06:59] !in [06:59] #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [07:00] hey im trying to connect to my deskyop (windows) to print help it set for sharing but dosent appear in the SMB browse [07:00] right but i have no trouble speaking/ understanding english [07:00] ok [07:00] ubuntuforums.org [07:00] that may be able to help as well [07:00] well, with that settled, me and my friend we both bought our pcs exactly the same, then how is that i386 cd boots well at his pc ? [07:01] * SeaPhor apologizes to wanttotryubuntu , was actually commenting on the terminology and now has wasted everyone's time [07:01] Brando753, ive had a lot of issues with the gnome 'share' briowsing features.. I always seem to end up typing in the proper share path, then it pops up a dialog for the user/password.. THEN i book mark it once it does get to the share. [07:01] wanttotryubuntu: you can also try another Linux distro, seems you want Windows like well Mandriva maybe then [07:01] no need to apologize seaphor, it was just a misunderstanding =) [07:01] wanttotryubuntu: and their channel is #mandriva === zkinion is now known as thebleh [07:01] wanttotryubuntu: however Ubuntu is a great distro when it works [07:01] wanttotryubuntu: Have ever heard the joke about Microsoft's support being in India? [07:01] FlareDS: Please keep it on topic. [07:02] join #php [07:02] FlareDS many BPOs and call centers are actually having multiple hubs in india [07:02] yes i would like that too .. thanks Flannel [07:02] Flannel: I know [07:02] * FlareDS hides [07:02] wanttotryubuntu: yes and that's what the joke is about, the Microsoft joke [07:02] wanttotryubuntu: How about you try and fix his issues instead of being dumb about it? [07:02] er, sebsebseb ^^ [07:03] :) [07:03] sebsebseb so how is exactly is that i386 cd works at his place and not mine ? [07:03] Flannel: I don't know why he is getting those issues, or I would help [07:03] wanttotryubuntu: Have you tried from the same CDs? or are they different? Could it be a burn issue? === thebleh is now known as zkinion [07:03] sebsebseb: If you can't help someone, that doesn't give you permission to antagonize them. === zkinion is now known as zkinion__ [07:03] true, is it the same CD or did you burn a copy? [07:03] hey guys [07:03] bruce89 [07:03] Flannel: I didn't make the Microsoft joke [07:03] Sorry [07:04] Won't happen again [07:04] ok this is what all i have done --> i386 cd friends home it worked .. mine it didnt .. so downloaded fresh i386 from web .. burnt it properly [ red instructions didnt burn iso as file, burnt it as a proper bootable image ] .. booted .. busybox === zkinion__ is now known as zkinion [07:04] hmm [07:04] FlareDS: don't worry about it :) ,but be careful of Flannel he is an op and might kick you :d [07:04] wanttotryubuntu: Have you tried the "check CD for defects" option on the boot menu? [07:05] yes, it shows ubuntu loading screen for some time and then goes to busybox again [07:05] sebsebseb: oh i know I'm a op helper so yeah [07:05] id like to ask advice... im gonna be putting together a computer later on today and installing ubuntu (i hope-fingers crossed) [07:05] again this happens with BOTH i386 and AMD 64 cds , plus i was careful to burn these 2 at 16x speed no more [07:05] and i used CDs not DVDs [07:05] wanttotryubuntu: Alright, so that means it could be a burn issue. Try re-burning, at a slower speed. We recommend 4x or so, if you can do it. [07:05] wanttotryubuntu: same configuration as your friends? [07:05] wanttotryubuntu: Can you try the same CD that worked on your friends computer? [07:05] is there any issue about installing windows second versus ubuntu second [07:05] any1 while isntalling ubunto i got stuck att "who r u" step 5 of 7, the keyboard is not working. although i can move the mouse arrow. can u help me out ? [07:05] FlareDS EXACTLY 100% same confing .. not a SINGLE change [07:06] wrektjet: That's actualy the easier way to do it. [07:06] hmmm very weird [07:06] wrektjet: it will go over Grub, but you can put that back on [07:06] !grub [07:06] 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 [07:06] wrektjet: er, Ubuntu second is easier. Windows second means you have to do some extra steps [07:06] flannel: i read about grub [07:06] plz help me in that ===>>> while isntalling ubunto i got stuck att "who r u" step 5 of 7, the keyboard is not working. although i can move the mouse arrow. can u help me out ? [07:06] if you want me to collect and post some data or information about my system / hardware, and if u tell me, i think i will be able to do it [07:07] I'll brb [07:07] wanttotryubuntu: Unfortunately, just because you bought identical computers (same model, etc) doesn't mean theyre the same hardware. But we likely won't need your hardware specs. [07:07] fahmy what kind of keyboard do you have [07:07] flannel: so windows first is actually easier, but not the end of the world if i do it the other way around (ubuntu first) [07:07] stormchas2000 i am using compac nx7000 laptop [07:07] wrektjet: yep exactly [07:08] wrektjet: right. [07:08] flannel: as i dont actually own a copy of windows at the moment [07:08] :) === andyh2|away is now known as andyh2 [07:08] I'm back [07:08] wrektjet: Yeah, you just install windows, then reinstall grub to your MBR, then add the windows entry in your boot menu. [07:09] um fahmy you might try using a serial keyboard,, I know that sometimes a usb will act up when installing, I dont know about laptop keyboards [07:09] ok [07:09] wanttotryubuntu: One thing you may try is installing from the Alternate CD instead of the Desktop CD. [07:09] flannel, sebseb: thanks for the advice. ill be back in like 20 hours or so, hopefully on my new computer!(flannel: that doesnt sound like too much trouble. when the time comes...) [07:10] ok will try that but now i am curious to why this is happening [07:10] [ btw i called my hardware guy but he said its a virus and i will have to format my hard drive, but i KNOW that he has no idea what ubuntu is ] [07:11] wanttotryubuntu: Same thing happened to me [07:11] if i am booting from live cd, and even though there is a virus on hard drive, linux cant or shouldnt be hurt by it i suppose? [ though i have latest panda antivirus and there is no virus on my system ] [07:11] wanttotryubuntu, you need a new hardware gu ! [07:11] hey guys [07:11] wanttotryubuntu: No, a window virus can't affect a CD you boot from. [07:11] hello, i have installed skype and my is not working, any link?

[07:13] Flannel i tried it multiple times, but still it keeps going to busybox .. i want to install it today so that i can get used to the system this week end and start trading again on monday [07:13] wanttotryubuntu: Take the CD out, and reboot (to Windows), it'll boot to windows, you can grab the alternate CD and burn it, and then boot to that. [07:13] thankcs flannel [07:14] any tips for speeding up ubuntu? [07:14] which keyboard should i install for the laptop ???

Try completing the install using the onscreen keyboard. [07:19] neither the PID ? [07:19] Fahmy I think if your laptop keybaord will not work you will have to go and get a keyboard with a serial ps2 plug. then after the loading of ubuntu you will probably find the driver for your built in keyboard [07:20] mudit: netstat -na | grep foo ?

[08:10] durt: amd athlon dual core: 2.4 ghz, 2 gigs ram, 9500GT nivida card [08:10] Athenon, on your Vista machine when you create the ssh connection do you also have an option to enable X tunneling? ie. X forwarding must be enabled on both the server and the client. good luck. [08:10] dual: dual booting ubuntu+vista [08:10] ZykoticK9: yeah. its enabled. [08:10] Athenon, on both... [08:10] why would ubuntu be slow on that? [08:11] Athenon, have you tried any other X apps? [08:11] ZykoticK9: not yet. hang on. [08:11] fuzeboxsoftware: how did you install Ubuntu, and was it on an external drive? [08:11] or was it the live cd? [08:11] i installed by cdrom [08:12] well [08:12] it had the option to run live cd or do an install [08:12] i just ran the install [08:12] How large is your partition?

[08:13] (the game) [08:13] Bigmoos: think you have to run it in wine [08:13] no [08:13] fuzeboxsoftware: Does it run slowly without compiz affects on? [08:13] Athenon: did you ssh -X or -Y ? [08:14] hi. my aptitude refuses to install anything since it says it cant find rhythmbox package. can anyone help me fix this issue? [08:14] Athenon, can you verify on the server with "cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep X" that "X11Forwarding yes" [08:14] is available for linux [08:14] prince_jammys: i jsut opened my ssh client XD [08:14] Based on your specs, Ubuntu should run fine. [08:14] defrysk: didn't know that :) [08:14] defrysk, It is / [08:14] ZykoticK9: root@subaru:/home/athenon/irc/inspircd/conf# cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep X [08:14] X11Forwarding yes [08:14] fuzeboxsoftware, where can I download it ? [08:14] Pengu: umm, its still a bit sluggish [08:14] prince_jammys: no...i use secureshell client for windows [08:14] Bigmoos: Not sure for the linux version [08:15] Bigmoos, http://americasarmy.filefront.com/file/AASF_Direct_Action_v25_Linux_Full_Install;49654 [08:15] Athenon, I'm afraid I don't have any further suggestions. In linux when i get this error it is because I forgot to add "-Y" to the ssh connection, but on Windows - I got nothin'. Good luck. [08:15] defrysk, "http://38.118.213.145/6sngz1f4u5+/gamingfiles/Americas_Army/Official_Releases/Full_Install/armyops250linux.run/X6" = Only one connection to the server is supported, so if you are using a download manager that attempts to establish multiple connections, you will receive this error. [08:16] Athenon, do you have an X server running in Vista? [08:16] defrysk, wait there it started [08:16] ZykoticK9: xming. yep. [08:16] Athenon, sorry... I got nothin'... [08:16] Pengu: Any ideas how I can fix this sluggishness? [08:17] Bigmoos, check google for a howto install it [08:17] fuzeboxsoftware: I'm really not sure what the problem is. It could be the graphics drivers. Have you not installed them? [08:17] Bigmoos, its probably sh blah.tur [08:17] Bigmoos, its probably sh blah.run , sorry [08:17] defrysk, it seems it's just bash , or sh file.run [08:17] Pengu: I have read that the graphics driver might be the problem. I was trying to confirm that. It took me forever to install it and was a pain. [08:17] Bigmoos, yes [08:18] what's the difference in bash and sh? [08:18] I always remember bash [08:18] before sh [08:18] aren't they both just terminals [08:18] Thought bash and sh were the same [08:18] Did you install a proprietary one? [08:18] * defrysk usually uses sh [08:18] Pengu: Not sure to be honest...I know I had to configure the xorg.conf and stuff [08:18] Pengu: Had some help doing it, so not sure. [08:18] Bigmoos: bash has more features. ubuntu's sh is dash, which is a very basic Bourne family shell [08:19] neither are terminals [08:19] prince_jammys, so in general, it doesn't matter which one I use ? [08:19] When you go to system > administrator > hardware drivers, what does it tell you? [08:19] Bigmoos, actually sh came before bash; they are NOT the same - but in Linux it's not possible to get a true sh shell (in FreeBSD, Solaris you can) [08:19] mmmmmmmkay [08:20] Bigmoos: if you're just running programs, it doesn't matter. [08:20] propritary drivers are being used to make this computer run correctly, Pengu [08:20] Why did you need help installing the driver? [08:20] Pengu: Well, when I first installed Ubuntu and enabled the driver, it crashed the XServer [08:21] And needed help getting it back up [08:21] I see. [08:21] Had to configure the xorg and etc. [08:21] Has 3 of them [08:21] 1 of them worked, but didn't fully utilize the card [08:21] and the latest one did, but crashed, so thinking, maybe this might be causing my probs? [08:22] the sluggish prob that is [08:22] fuzeboxsoftware: I'm not entirely sure how to correct it, but I'm fairly sure you're right in thinking it has to do with the driver itself [08:22] Pengu: Might try to enable the others and see if my problem eases down, if so, then I am on the right track [08:23] I'd guess that's your best bet.

[08:47] eTranquility, no but if your network is setup to use a proxy, your change in Firefox ONLY affects Firefox, non of the other apps, which are still trying to go through the proxy [08:47] can u guys help me how to selct the proper keyboard layout for my laptop ? [08:48] ZykoticK9: Right, but I've only changed Firefox settings, I didn't do it through System-> Prefs -> Network Proxy [08:48] Hi, can anyone help me get my headphones working? [08:49] anyone know why gnome art won't let me install new login screens? [08:49] eTranquility, apt-get does not work at home ? [08:49] ZykoticK9: Anyways, if changing Firefox settings has somehow affected my systemwide settings, how do I change it to not using a proxy? Network Proxy shows no proxy being used. [08:49] eTranquility, yup - so Firefox works, apt/boxee won't... if you disable the proxy in network settins it will let everything talk to the internet (without a non-existing proxy getting in the way) [08:50] devilsadvocate: apt-get doesn't work ANYWHERE. [08:50] eTranquility, firefox proxy setting dont (and cant) affect system wide settings [08:50] eTranquility, and you have a proxy at school and direct connection at home? [08:50] eTranquility, ummm??? [08:50] devilsadvocate: Yes. [08:51] hello there, i got ubuntu 8.10 and i can't acces my ntfs partitiion, can anyone help? [08:51] kamikaze: run mount in a terminal please [08:52] **just open a terminal, type in mount and press enter [08:52] okay i did so but there was no ntfs partition sh all i paste it here? [08:53] sure [08:53] ./etcfstab [08:53] alin@alindesk:~$ mount [08:53] /dev/mapper/nvidia_gfcdiceh5 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) [08:53] tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) [08:53] /proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [08:53] sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [08:53] varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755) [08:53] kamikaze: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:53] ZykoticK9: apt-get and boxee stopped working around the time I started connecting to my school network (with the proxy) but I've usually been able to just change the connection settings in Firefox back to not using a proxy (since I've always only changed them to using a proxy in Firefox)). Proxy settings may or may not be related to my problem. >.<;;; [08:53] hohohoh [08:53] :) [08:53] eTranquility, do what ZykoticK9 says. verify that the system wide proxy settings are set to no proxy if you are at home. these should be in system>administration> network/proxy (not sure which) [08:53] kamikaze, how old is your computer? [08:54] ehm maybe about 2 years [08:54] fHey what are ctags? [08:54] !ntfs | kamikaze [08:54] kamikaze: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [08:54] devilsadvocate, ZykoticK9: Network Proxy shows that configuration is set to a direct internet connection as it should be. [08:54] can you run ls /dev/sd* for me? [08:55] eTranquility, did you say the apt-get has NEVER worked? [08:55] sudo fdisk -l is more to the point [08:55] i got a raid 0 running and 1 partition is linux and 1 is windows [08:55] eTranquility, what error does apt-get give you, exactly? [08:55] ZykoticK9, It did work before. [08:55] kamikaze: oh, RAID /facepalm i have no raid experience :( [08:56] but it should make no difference because both system recognized the hdd [08:56] Any chance someone could help me get my headphones working? [08:56] eTranquility, sorry man, it's 5AM where I am and I'm off to bed. Good luck man. Night all. [08:57] kamikaze, can you run "sudo fdisk -l" sans quotes for me and paste the output in paste.ubuntu.com? [08:57] and if i type /dev/sd* for there are a lot of bashes [08:57] ZykoticK9 Thanks anyways. =/ [08:57] eTranquility, slightly off topic, but for the record apt-get can work behind proxy. many command line stuff can. you need to run ¨export HTTP_PROXY=http:\\user:pass@proxy.address:proxyport¨ in the terminal before running the application [08:57] suddenly my vim has lost its python syntax hilights and indentation rules [08:57] do i need to join paste ubuntu.com?= i mean how do i get tehre [08:57] eT... you having an apt problem? [08:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com [08:58] shadowh511: apt-get and boxee stopped working. Firefox and Pidgin are fine. [08:58] eTranquility, for now though, give us the exact error / last few lines of an apt command [08:58] eT... what is boxee? [08:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/128126/plain/ [08:59] eTranquility, does it say waiting, looking up, does it specify a http error.. ? [08:59] devilsadvocate: http://paste.ubuntu.com/128127/ [08:59] can u guys help me how to selct the proper keyboard layout for my laptop ? [08:59] kamikaze: oh s--t [08:59] ho s--t? [08:59] hi [08:59] eT, you have to run apt-get as root [09:00] !sudo [09:00] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [09:00] !root [09:00] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:00] !superuser [09:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about superuser [09:00] shadowh511: Yeah, just forget. [09:00] !sudo | eTranquility [09:00] eTranquility: please see above [09:00] eT: ? [09:00] hm [09:00] i install new harddisk now i can not see it in ubuntu how can i scan for new hardware? [09:00] shadowh511: I did afterwards if you read further. [09:00] BABER: go to places and click on it [09:01] hey what is now going on with my ntfs partition :D you just said oh s--t [09:01] shadowh511: I'm assuming you're reading my paste and noticing I didn't use sudo first off. You may have just been advising me beforehand, my apologies. [09:01] kamikaze: can you test-reboot into windows? I think there might be bad stuff happening [09:02] eTranquility, can you try pinging that ip address [09:02] eT...: Is there ay type of internet filtering device attached to your network? [09:02] eTranquility, that address looks like that of a squid proxy [09:02] actually i had 9.04 first installed and when i tried to boot with grub i got some NTLDR error [09:03] devilsadvocate: #$%@ I just realized that's the address I used for my school proxy. >.>; [09:03] kamikaze: yep, windows and ubuntu are gone [09:03] eTranquility, i believe you have your proxy settings set somewhere you didnt unset. can you check the output for ¨echo $HTTP_PROXY¨ [09:03] how do you mean :)?, i read that i just need 2 copy 1 file from the cd for windows [09:04] i think that windows is fubar [09:04] idk for sure [09:04] its most likely [09:04] D: [09:04] fubar :D? you confuse me im not native english [09:05] f--ked up beyond all repair [09:05] hm but there has to be a way to save my data :( [09:05] devilsadvocate: I get no output for "echo $HTTP_PROXY". [09:05] data recovery is expensive, how much is the data worth to you? [09:05] eTranquility, there is a proxy setting _somewhere_ in /etc/apt. i dont remember where :| [09:05] and the wered thing is that last time i had ubuntu installed i got the same problem, i had no access to the ntfs partition [09:06] could be a bad partition [09:06] kamikaze: google has a few hits for 'cannot seek on /dev/sda'. look at those, unless someone here knows how to repair things [09:06] shadowh511: my new drives are not in places [09:06] well actually i dont wanna loose it [09:06] kamikaze: specifically related to RAID [09:06] but how could this happen i mean i just installed ubuntu on another partition that should have done nothing to windows [09:07] devilsadvocate: Trying to find it. [09:07] the problem is that the live cd doesnt support raid so i cant really save the data [09:07] BABER: install gparted (Applications->Accessories->terminal->sudo apt-get install gparted->System->Administartion->Partition editor) [09:07] devilsadvocate: Found it. I have it set to direct internet connection. [09:07] hey can someone explain (in easy terms) what does the application QEMU does/ [09:07] kamikaze: u got a flashdrive handy? [09:07] dis...:its a virtual pc [09:07] devilsadvocate: It's in prefs, then network. [09:07] eTranquility, it should work now. something similar must be the problem for boxee (i have no idea what boxee is though) [09:08] !boxee [09:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about boxee [09:08] dang [09:08] i got the alternative 8.10 installed [09:08] - because of raid [09:08] devilsadvocate: It's always been set to direct connection. >.< [09:08] hmmm [09:08] eTranquility, there is an apt-specific proxy setting in a file inside /etc/apt . did someone else setup your laptop to work in school? [09:09] i was gonna suggest putting the livecd on your f/d, but then i realized that it would make no diff, lulz [09:09] kamikaze, its 1am now and i am drooling, g'night, email me if you need more help (screenshots please) shadow.h511@gmail.com [09:09] !paste [09:09] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [09:10] devilsadvocate: No, the ONLY thing (I swear) that I remember changing is the browser settings (like I've always done in windows). [09:10] Hey how do I reinstall all my KDE related apps? I am using gnome and whenever I open any KDE apps it crashes [09:13] is there a program i can use to bind files together to become one executable file? [09:13] eTranquility, the settings _used_ to be in /etc/apt/apt.conf . i think it has moved into one of the files of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ . can you look through those files and check please? [09:13] devilsadvocate: Ok. [09:14] Anyone got MS Lifechat LX-3000 headset working it's USB type on ubuntu [09:15]  i install new harddisk now i can not see it in ubuntu how can i scan for new hardware? [09:16] BABER: fdisk -l [09:16] BABER: sudo fdisk -l should display it, along with your partitions [09:16] or take a look at system disk or something [09:16] Nytrix: if the files can just be concatenated, then cat fileone filetwo > finalfile . but i don't know if this is what you mean. i doubt it. [09:17] devilsadvocate: I see that there are several files in the directory you mentioned but none of them seem to be proxy related, I think, or maybe I just can't tell. [09:17] prince_jammys, i found it :) [09:17] !info makeself [09:17] makeself (source: makeself): utility to generate self-extractable archives. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.5-1 (intrepid), package size 18 kB, installed size 88 kB [09:18] ah, that's what you meant [09:19] prince_jammys: i want show my ntfs partition but dont show [09:19] Anyone got MS Lifechat LX-3000 headset working it's USB type on ubuntu? [09:19] !ntfs | BABER [09:19] BABER: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [09:20] eTranquility, bottom line is that for some reason aptitude is ttying to go through the proxy. this means some config settings are asking it to go through a proxy. your network itself is fine [09:20] i wish to install java runtime environment but not the development kit. how do i do it? [09:21] devilsadvocate: Right, that helps. So you're saying I need to find a way to change my config files for each program I find not working? [09:22] eTranquility, yes [09:22] hi all, anyone recommend a logfile analyzing tool [09:22] r u sure this is how u do it? cat fileone filetwo > finalfile [09:22] fix it [09:22] how do i i tell witch ersion of ubuntu i have on this machine? [09:22] diazepam, which logfile? [09:22] *version [09:22] i.e 8.10 [09:23] devilsadvocate: Okay, I guess I'll be playing with it. What does "reset" under Network Proxy Pref do? [09:23] eTranquility, i have no idea [09:23] Nytrix: you haven't really explained what you're trying to do. that command just concatenates two files [09:23] devilsadvocate - diskspace, mail, webserver, ftp server, loads, memory usage, samba all the usual [09:23] diazepam, all of them use different logfile analysiers since they all have different logfile formats [09:24] guys , how can i download package and their dependencies using apt [09:24] ok i want 1.pdf and 2.pdf to become one executable file that when clicked will open both 1.pdf and 2.pdf [09:24] devilsadvocate - yeah thought there might be one that is more for office servers [09:24] Nytrix: executable pdfs? [09:25] i guess [09:25] yes [09:25] is there any program for ubuntu which continues downloading when the computer is turned off? [09:25] levidos, that is not possible. physically. [09:25] ??? [09:25] levarnu, a firefox add on called DownThemAll [09:25] how should the Computer download anything when it is Turned Off? === hateball1 is now known as hateball [09:25] levidos, a firefox add on called DownThemAll [09:25] levidos: pretty funny [09:26] levidos, do you mean, when you turn it off then on again ? [09:26] thanks Nytrix [09:26] :) [09:28] levidos, i hope thats what u meant [09:29] you can "resume" download [09:29] Nytrix: then that command is certainly not what you want. but i'm pretty sure there's no such thing as an executable pdf. then again, i don't know about pdfs [09:29] what is this?

[10:25] kjdro: I don't know, I suggest looking into the "dmesg" output, and the messagelog, check the transfer speed to the fliesystem and to the raw device to see if there's a difference (say with 'pv' for speed), aside from that, I dunno sorry. [10:25] glymph: good idea [10:25] nm-applet?

Or what do you mean? [11:27] jag_: that's the answere for everithing that is multimedia related.. [11:28] kjdro: ? [11:28] nothing.... pointed out your answere to jag_ [11:28] jag_, did you update (ie sudo apt-get update) [11:28] hi everyone :P [11:29] updating [11:29] can someone answer my question? [11:30] RARE [11:30] vdx09, need a question first [11:30] vdx09, just ask your question. This is a help channel. [11:31] i wanna know weather, the latest release of ubuntu supports driver for my machine? [11:31] ok MD5 check sum is correct [11:31] vdx09, the current stable version intrepid? what is the driver in question:please specify [11:31] there is no issue with download / burnt cd [11:31] ysis, yep and you scrolled down? [11:32] jag_: go here and enable the Medibuntu repos :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [11:32] wanttotryubuntu, and what were the errors shown when removing quiet and splash from kernel boot options [11:32] I installed intrepid onto a USB drive with the Intrepid startup disk tool. I've now booted off that, updated it and customised it by adding extra repos and packages. If I now boot off this usb install on another machine and then install it, will all my extra packages get installed too? [11:32] basically it keeps scrolling buffer i/o error on dev sr0 [11:33] quibbler, medibuntu for vlc? [11:33] bazhang: he wants to play dvd's [11:33] is there a way by which i can copy paste what scrolls in busybox and paste it on paste bin ? today is my first try at linux in my life [11:33] ysis, ? [11:33] b1n42y, I did. [11:33] Pidgin just crashed... [11:33] ysis, what device are you using alsa? [11:34] ysis, sound server* [11:34] b1n42y, Device is 'HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)' [11:34] but there are others available [11:34] bazhang: so he will want to: apt-get vlc libdvdcss2 w32codecs [11:34] !hdaintel | ysis [11:34] ysis: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [11:35] how to select on set of file type (checking sub-directories) via terminal command? [11:35] do customised ubuntu usb installs retain their modifications if installed? [11:35] hi [11:35] bazhang, thanks! Will have a look and report back. [11:35] (to delete some files) [11:35] you need to mount a persitence drive on the usb voodoor [11:35] quibbler, alternately he can just download those two debs and also sudo apt-get install vlc (without enabling medibuntu repos) ie jag_ [11:35] is there a way to abort file copy in mc and then continue where it left of ? [11:36] ysis, im out of ideas ask your question again, at least weve tried something ..sorry [11:36] voodoor, you are wanting the persistent usb [11:36] bazhang: i thought you need medibuntu for the lib and w32codecs [11:36] jase1: Yes, I did that and my changes are persistent but what if I was to install from this USB? Would I just end up with vanilla intrepid or would it include all my updates and extra packages? [11:36] its installing now [11:36] quibbler, aye but can get without enabling repos [11:37] bazhang: how? [11:37] thnx bazhang...and thnx quibbler for medibuntu [11:37] i will check it out tooo [11:37] wanttotryubuntu, (joining in late, sorry if this has been covered) did you try to run the media-check on the same HW that you're having the trouble on? You say the MD5 is OK but scrolling sr0 errors sounds a lot like trouble reading the media. I'm thinking the CD or the drive is dodgy. [11:37] im not sure voodoor [11:37] i ges there is no way to do that .. is it ??? at least is there a way to start copy and tell not to copy already existing files ??? [11:37] quibbler, by simply downloading the debs there then installing with gdebi or the command line === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik [11:38] bazhang: with wget [11:38] anything else for me ? [11:38] kjdro, are you talking in local copy or remote copy? [11:38] bazhang: i didn't know that [11:38] local [11:38] i'm copyn files to usb drive [11:39] Hola [11:39] wanttotryubuntu, what were the errors with removing quiet and splash from kernel boot options --> paste.ubuntu.com with them please [11:39] I "think" that is not possible .. "resume" of copy command [11:39] bazhang, i would love to do that.. this is my first try of linux, i tried selecting text there but i could not [11:40] when will i learn these things !!!! thnx guys...works like a ge [11:40] remote copy is possible via ftp command [11:40] gem* [11:40] bazhang how to copy and save the text there ? so that i can open the file in windows and paste it [11:40] hi i am new user to ubuntu can anyone help me connect to india irc channel [11:40] wanttotryubuntu, and you removed those (quiet and splash ) from kernel boot options? [11:40] is there a wiki page on converting a ubuntu machine to dual boot with windows? [11:40] !in | jigspan [11:40] "/join #india" [11:40] jigspan: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [11:40] bazhang yes, seaphore told me that one .. then splash screen doesnt come and many commands run [11:41] wanttotryubuntu : You can use the > command to dump the output into a file [11:41] operator, i mean [11:41] !dualboot | dobblego [11:41] dobblego: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [11:41] voodoor if u type the exact command i can write it down here and reboot [11:42] it would be so great to paste the error log there [11:42] wanttotryubuntu: Type the command that generates your error in the terminal but then add [11:42] > file [11:42] hello all [11:42] at the end [11:42] ysis, i hope you are at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810#post6589810 [11:42] bazhang, thanks [11:42] like [11:42] busybox options > error.txt [11:42] ysis, link from bahang's link [11:42] ohh.. just need 5 more people in this chan [11:43] or [11:43] you can dump stderr [11:43] so i reboot --> F6 --> remove splash and quiet --> "here is where the errors keep running" ... ok i will try typing options > error.txt [11:43] No [11:43] open terminal and type [11:43] zeroXten, its already leet [11:43] heh [11:43] dmesg | more [11:43] voodoor, right now i am in windows [11:43] impressive numbers users here .. channel [11:43] I was looking at the file /etc/cron.daily/apt and I see a sleep there (like for 30 minutes). Does someone know why there is this sleep ? [11:44] so, using compiz how can I tile all currently showing windows? if that is at all possible [11:44] voodoor, to keep main channel less flooded, can i please pm you ? [11:44] wanttotryubuntu: Is this an error that appears when ubuntu is booting and you want to see it? [11:44] wanttotryubuntu, if the errors occur during boot-up (i.e. before you log on) then the "> file" trick probably won't work. [11:44] sprinkmeier: Yes, just picked myself up on that [11:44] is there a way to copy files from a file structure .. but tell the copying not to copy already copied files ? [11:45] wanttotryubuntu, if the system gets as far as booting then "dmesg" wight bring the messages back. Failing that, check /var/log/messages [11:45] thats about all you need to know, yes [11:45] this is exactly what happens --> boot from cd ---> ubuntu language options ---> "try ubuntu without installing" ---> busybox .. with all possible settings [11:46] Hi guys, what causes the title bars of windows and dialogs dissapear? [11:46] wanttotryubuntu, just to recap... the CD works with identical HW (at a friends place) but you get sr0 media errors when you try to use it on your system? [11:46] yes [11:46] Omatic: do you have compiz enabled? [11:46] and i have tested 7 cds [11:46] wanttotryubuntu: Sounds like your optical drive is fkd [11:47] wattazoum: the comments in the code explain it... they check if someone is using apt or any frontend it that's the case they sleep that 30 min before trying again [11:47] that is ok, so finally we figured out the problem [11:47] can you use your CD/DVD drive on that machine OK under Windoze? [11:47] thank you .. how to confirm it ? [11:47] sp [11:47] wanttotryubuntu, the only thing I can tink of is that your CD drive is dodgy. If the CD works at your friends place, and the HW is identical (i.e. no driver problems) then all that's left is the drive (or maybe RAM.... run the mem-checker?) [11:47] yes, everything works perfectly under windows, no issues with dvd writer what so ever there [11:48] wanttotryubuntu, can you swap out the drive with another one? Can you BIOS boot off external CD Drive? [11:48] quibbler, yes I do [11:48] erUSUL, according to the code, they will always sleep :-/ [11:48] Omatic: open compiz settings manager and enable window decorations [11:48] sprinkmeier_ yes, this is latest DP45SG intel original motherboard .. [11:49] So you boot the HW to windows and you can read the disk fine, but when you boot off the disk it borks? [11:49] quibbler, ok [11:49] sprinkmeier_ yes [11:49] Omatic: good now? [11:50] sprinkmeier_ plus md5 signature i just checked matches, there is no issue with downloads what so ever, i think all these 7 cds that i labelled BAD are good too .. there seems to be some other issue here [11:50] wattazoum: true... well i dunno then ;P [11:50] quibbler, where do go to get the settings manager [11:50] erUSUL, thank you for you help, though :-) [11:50] wanttotryubuntu, how certain are you that the whole CD is readable from windows? can you run a checksum on it (no idea how to do that from windows...) Can you run RAM checker off the disk (just in case)? This is the MD5 checksum of the ISO file, not off the disk? [11:50] Omatic: in synpatic search for compiz settings manager [11:51] Omatic, via ccsm [11:51] !ccsm | Omatic [11:51] Omatic: 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 [11:51] I think I will ask the devs [11:52] sprinkmeier_ ya, the MD5 checksum is of the downloaded iso image which matches, and i have no idea how do the cd checking and ram checking thing [ i am a finance related guy :) ] [11:52] hi all [11:52] quibbler, bazhang, ubottu, thanks guys it's now working [11:52] wanttotryubuntu, XP or vista? IIRC vista has a RAM-checker option from the boot-loader. Failing that, boot off the CD and choose the RAM checking option (let's hopt it gets tat far :-) [11:53] Omatic: ;) [11:53] consolekit package is buggy and unfortunatelly no patch is still available Hardy(Ubuntu 8.04.2 ) [11:53] sprinker, using windows XP sp3 professional edition, also, which cd u want me to boot from ? the ubuntu one or windows one ? [11:53] wanttotryubuntu: how are you checking the md5sum of the CDs, out of interest? [11:53] I'd uninstall this consolekit package from my server, but not sure if I break smth with the unistallation... [11:54] i checked with 2 freeware programs .. is it ok to paste link here ? [11:54] wanttotryubuntu, ubuntu one. I don't think that the XP install CD has a RAM checker (FWIW I think the vista one does) [11:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM .. that window program i downloaded, other one was off google [11:54] is anyone here familiar with consolekit package? [11:54] Hi, all. After using computers (programming, games) since 1984 this is my first attempt on IRC. Hope I don't get banned :-) [11:55] glymph, wanttotryubuntu I think the MD5's are being generated off the .ISO file, not the burns CD [11:55] s/burns/burnt/ [11:55] ok rebooting .. sprinkmeier_ this will take around 10 mins i think for mem check etc ? [11:55] sprinkmeier_: that's what I'm wondering [11:55] wanttotryubuntu: a full RAM check will take a long time [11:55] btw i think there is only option of check cds for defects option after i put ubuntu boot cd .. how to check ram ? [11:55] !welcome | cubalibre [11:55] cubalibre: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. [11:55] wanttotryubuntu: did you run the md5sum on the burned CD or the iso file from within windows? [11:55] wanttotryubuntu, RAM checker runs until you stop it. let it do at least one complete run, should take >> 10 mins [11:56] anyone know if ubuntu 8.10 supports realtek hd audio out of the box? [11:56] glymph iso from within windows [11:56] glymph how to check the cd ? i can do it right now, its in the drive already [11:56] jase1: realtek cards are historically well supported, but best to test with a livecd. [11:56] hi guys can someone help me install drivers? I have em on a cd [11:56] elmnas: what drivers? [11:56] wanttotryubuntu: if you're at the busybox prompt type "which md5sum" to see if the program is there [11:56] internet drivers [11:56] o my bad .. i just checked it out [11:56] wanttotryubuntu, if ubuntu CD fails, maybe try ultimate boot cd: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ [11:56] wireless usb card [11:56] ya both tests are there [11:56] well im on ubuntu now, sound works but not sure if its the hd drivers or not [11:57] elmnas, please specify which chipset [11:57] b1n42y, bazhang, I'll update ALSA now and will report back how it went. [11:57] thanks [11:57] wanttotryubuntu, "both tests" == "media check" and "ram check"? [11:57] ysis, you followed that link for 8.10 yes [11:57] hmmm, I assume you can do an md5sum from within busybox with something like "md5sum /dev/sdc" but the /dev/sdc device name will depend on how your IDE ddevices are configured. [11:58] My question is: After installing U8.10 on my computer suddenly the arrows and other keys does not work against my VMWare Server. Trying to connect to e.g. virtual XP is no problem, but Win-button, arrows, etc no longer works. This is not a problem on Fedora10. I tried to reformat an reinstall U8.10, but to no avail. This was not a problem with U8.04. Is there a change with the character set? [11:58] rtl8187 [11:58] sprinkmeier_ ya .. will run both and get back here [11:58] is it possible to change screen resolution without restarting x [11:58] gone [11:58] I don't know how to check from within busybox which device name wanttotryubuntu's CD-ROM has [11:58] b1n42y, the one you provided, yes. [11:58] ned: yes, through xrandr [11:58] wanttotryubuntu, close to bed-time here, might not be here when you get back. Best of luck, welcome to Ubuntu! [11:58] elmnas, are you using that computer currently via ethernet (booted into ubuntu) [11:58] yep, well bazhang provided the link ten there was a link from that page [11:59] I think so [11:59] I use wired now.. [11:59] how would i check if my ubuntu is running with my audio in HD? (my card is realtek hd audio) [11:59] im running ubuntu in a vm instance, right now its only taking up one monitor, i want it to stretch to two, any ideass? [11:59] elmnas, please open the terminal and type ifconfig (assuming the wireless device is plugged in from boot time) [12:00] hello === sale_ is now known as sale [12:00] ok [12:00] Hae guys, I have a flash disk which has files that are refusing to be deleted, claiming that they are read-only, the flash is also recognised as read-only filesystem, I want to format it, I have tried remounting it as read/write which actually works in that am able to delete files, but something funny is that when I eject it and mount it again I find the same files! what is wrong here guys [12:00] elmnas, how many entries do you see (eg eth0 lo wlan0) [12:00] anybody who is chinese?

I can put the cd image onto it, but not sure how to make it bootable? [12:42] Can I suspend my machine to disk and then start it up again with an encrypted swap partition? [12:42] does it need anything special doing to it, like a different FS or something? [12:42] v1c: also, if compiled version will break the functionality of the server I'd like to be able to uninstall the compiled version clearly. [12:42] irbdavid→ do you have an intel Mac? if so, boot the Mac from the CD and use the provided tool for making a bootable usb disk [12:43] vak: i never wait for official update. If i want to hack then i just paste as root :P tht my style [12:43] yeah, that could work...

[14:00] in the software sources program what does enabling the intrepid backports clickbox do? [14:00] !backports [14:00] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [14:00] hvgotcodes, enables the backports repository [14:01] Dr_willis: is it a backport from jaunty to intrepid? [14:01] !ndiswrapper | Mishoo95 [14:01] Mishoo95: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:01] hvgotcodes-> jaunty is not ready yet, please visit #ubuntu+1 [14:02] hvgotcodes, no idea.. could be in some cases I guess. but not always [14:02] Dr_willis i think that is what has messed up X for me [14:02] hvgotcodes, 'updated unofficial, but desireable packages' is how i think of it. [14:02] hi, people [14:03] how do i go back? I unchecked the backports repo [14:03] but don't know where to go from there [14:03] I have problem, how to open 7z archives ??? what appliucation? [14:03] hvgotcodes-> jaunty is not ready yet, please visit #ubuntu+1 ..we dont support jaunt yet [14:03] !7z [14:03] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [14:03] n8tuserf -- i am not using jaunty [14:03] ubottu: it does not [14:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about it does not [14:04] hvgotcodes-> then why mention jaunty? [14:04] hi guys can someone help me to install a wireless network card, I have drivers on a cd [14:04] pROCKrammer[eats: click on the link he gave you [14:04] backport items are NOT always from jaunty to the earlier ones.. from what i gather. [14:04] elmnas-> is it pl;ugged in? [14:04] n8tuserf, because to install kde, some instructions had me check that repo. now everytime i resize a window i get a one second lag and processor spike. i want to get my normal ubuntu 8.10 working [14:04] again [14:05] hvgotcodes, in KDE or gnome its laggy? [14:05] gnome [14:06] i removed the kubuntu repo too and removed the kde packages [14:06] i wanted to remove all orphaned packages but it said it was going to remove grep, so i didn't do that [14:06] ciao [14:06] i dont know why it is confused [14:07] hi can someone help me to install network drivers? [14:07] hvgotcodes, yiou can always reinstall grep i imagine [14:07] elmnas-> is your wifi card plugged in? [14:07] Dr_willis yes, but synaptic was throwing all sorts of warnings [14:07] how can i know the cersion of a module? [14:08] hvgotcodes, yep. that can happen when you start adding.remioveing repos and stuff. and why backports is considerd optional/unsupported. === anthonys is now known as PoetOfShadows [14:08] Dr_willis, yeah but i would think that removing the repo, then deleting orphaned packages should be smooth [14:08] elmnas -> is your wifi card plugged in? [14:08] yeah its a usb card awus036h [14:09] Dr_willis, when it was installing kde I saw it pulling in Xorg packages -- which is what i think my problem is [14:09] how can i know the version of a module? e.g alsa compiled or alsa reinstalled with sinaptic [14:09] hi every one ? [14:09] hvgotcodes, could be its using some older/veasa/whatever drivers instad of the ones you need for your system. [14:09] Everyone, is Super Ubuntu better than Ubuntu? [14:09] elmnas -> i have not much luck with usb dongle wifi, but lets give it a shot [14:10] !ot | dr_phd1 [14:10] dr_phd1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:10] ok ok [14:10] n8userf I have drivers on a cd [14:10] is it possible to get nautilus tabs in ubuntu 8.04 ? === LSD200 is now known as LSD200_AFK [14:11] Broken|Arrow: if you want newer software, it's easier to just upgrade to 8.10 [14:11] Everyone, is Super Ubuntu better than Ubuntu? [14:11] !ot | dr_phd1 [14:11] elmnas -> sudo lshw -C network and post the results [14:11] dr_phd1, i doubt it. [14:11] linux driversok [14:11] Dr_willis so how do i verify the versions and all that to get this thing working again? [14:11] dr_phd1, i dont recomend any of the unofficial ubuntu variants [14:12] hvgotcodes, not sure. You could try reinstalling your video card drivers i guess. Ive rarely had issues remioving things.. i rarely remove things. [14:12] http://pastebin.com/m642e0562 [14:12] dr_phd1 -> my super duper is better than that, I customized it myself.. :P [14:12] dr_phd1 i have never heard of that version. i would be careful with it [14:12] jrib: I prefer LTS, I was just asking if it's possible, a quick google search brought only a source compile , which I am not really interested in [14:12] well which version of X do you have? [14:12] * Dr_willis has Uber-Super-Duper-Home-Ultimate-Premium-Lite-extreme-ubuntu [14:12] Broken|Arrow: can I ask why you prefer LTS? [14:12] and how do i tell from command line [14:12] hvgotcodes, X -version perhaps [14:13] Dr_willis can you say that 10 times real fast [14:13] 2:1.5.2-2ubuntu3.00~ppa1 is that the current one? [14:14] hvgotcodes, somthing from 'ppa' would be very unofficial i think [14:14] jrgp: longer support , I run few servers on it and I like to have the same setup , tweaked it a lot and an upgrade will probably break something, more stable (personal opinion) [14:14] Dr_willis so should i just reinstall xorg-server again? [14:15] hvgotcodes, could try i guess. thats all we are doing here is guessing basically. [14:15] elmnas -> what is the name of your driver on cdrom? [14:15] rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007 [14:15] Broken|Arrow: fair enough. Personally, I'd just upgrade the desktop and leave the servers on LTS. I don't think there is a "nice" way for you to upgrade just nautilus and stay with 8.04 [14:16] where is this GMplayer for ubuntu anyway? [14:16] dr_phd1: in the "mplayer" package [14:16] Dr_willis, yeah what i really wanted to do was somehow tell synaptic to go back to the latest supported packages across the board [14:16] instead of one package at a time [14:16] !who | elmnas [14:16] elmnas: 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 :) [14:16] ok ok [14:16] !tab [14:16] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [14:17] jrgp: ok, I will consider it, thanks for the help :) [14:17] hvgotcodes: backports reversion attemp? [14:17] t [14:17] jrib -- kde uninstall attempt [14:18] hvgotcodes: you've seen !puregnome? [14:18] jrib: the instructions had me enable a backports repo and now x lags whenever i resize a window [14:18] n8userf rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007 [14:18] hvgotcodes -> did you use aptitude ? [14:18] hvgotcodes: i used synaptic [14:18] ha [14:18] hvgotcodes: be more specific than "a backports repo" [14:18] i mean n8tuserf i used synaptic [14:19] jrib: the backports checkbox on the third tab of the synaptic-sources program [14:19] whan I am playing fullscreen game it is ok for about 5 min but after it switch to normal window and hangs whole computer - how to fix it? [14:19] pawel: disable compiz or screensaver [14:19] how? [14:20] I am running 8.10 on two machines with ATI cards. Gnome never remembers my multimonitor settings and I always have to go into the ati controll panel to set this. [14:20] pawel: in appearances settings, change desktop effects to none; that will disable compiz [14:20] n8tuserf ---> tl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007 [14:20] opps I mean --> rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007 [14:20] Xfce, fluxbox and lxde do not display this behavoir. [14:20] #emacs [14:21] and how to disable screensaver? [14:21] hvgotcodes: backports really shouldn't cause a problem [14:21] elmnas -> you may have to expand it, and look for .inf and .sys i believe [14:21] jrib: i removed the kubuntu repo, removed the backports checkbox, and then tried to delete orphaned package but aborted when synaptic said it would remove grep [14:21] One machine is a laptop with an old rv250 or 300 chip in it. The other is my workstation with an 4850 installed. [14:21] jrib: how do i diagnose my gnome issue then... [14:21] well can you remote me or something I gonna never fix this im dyslexier.. :S [14:21] elmnas -> and then you do something like ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5a.inf [14:21] how to disable screensaver? [14:22] pawel: compiz or screensaver, only one;) [14:22] prefer compiz xD [14:22] *I prefer [14:22] and want to keep compiz but disable screensaver [14:23] will it be ok? [14:23] pawel: yes:) [14:23] how to? [14:23] but I prefer disable compiz [14:23] hvgotcodes: you can list all the backports stuff you have installed with « aptitude search '~Aintrepid-backports~i' ». What there do you think would affect X/gnome? [14:23] pawel: there might be a choice in the settings menu to do it [14:23] pawel i know for me to play many games i have to disable the compiz [14:24] thanks :) [14:24] is there emubuntu? [14:24] pawel, for managing your Emu Farm? [14:24] ciao [14:24] halo [14:24] i've heard about emdebian [14:24] pawel, no [14:24] !list [14:24] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [14:25] Anyone know how to get gnome to "remember" the multidisplay settings? [14:25] in what ubuntu differs from debian? [14:25] !debian | pawel [14:25] pawel: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [14:25] Cyrano_De, are you using Nvidia drivers? [14:25] MidasManchu: ATI [14:25] One machine is a laptop with an old rv250 or 300 chip in it. The other is my workstation with an 4850 installed. [14:26] xchat [14:27] when I execute comand1|command2|command3 are they queued or executed in the same time? [14:27] Cyrano_De, I can't speak too much on ATI as I run Nvidia over here, but I had the same issue with nvidia. Just make sure that whatever changes you make are saved in your config file. I don't know if you're accessing the display settings through an editor (as with Nvidia), but if you are, make sure you run it with sudo [14:27] pawel: command1 "gives" it's output to command2, which uses that as input; [14:28] Hi... i'm about to install 7.10 (for wifi)... will packages from 8.10 install onto this (if the repos are added)? [14:28] pawel: if you want to que them, use && in between [14:28] chazco: no, they will not [14:28] how to execute them in the same time? [14:28] Ah... not even the standalone debs/PPAs? [14:28] MidasManchu: I am making the change through the ATI catalyst control center. It does not seem to matter whether or not I run it as root. [14:28] chazco: those will, but not anything from the 8.10 repos [14:28] chazco: why don't you use 8.10? [14:28] Ah, well thats something at least [14:29] pawel: I'm not sure what you mean by at the same time…? [14:29] jrib - 8.10 has broken WPA Enterprise for my card, rendering it effectively useless on the netbook [14:29] chazco: same for 8.04? [14:29] jrib - Think so, last version i recall working was 7.10 [14:29] Cyrano_De, have you checked to see if your changes are propogating to X's config? [14:29] bonjour! [14:30] !hi | sylvain_ [14:30] sylvain_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:30] chazco: 7.10 is going to lose support next month, so I would try 8.04 and see if it works. Did you check bugs.ubuntu.com? I find it odd that such a bug would persist between 2 releases [14:30] jrib - Think its this bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/272185 [14:30] j'ai un probleme avec ubuntu [14:30] !fr | sylvain_ [14:30] MidasManchu: As it is now using randr for setting display there are no longer any modelines in the xorg.conf file.

[14:32] chazco: it's marked fix released, so at least 9.04 should work once its out [14:32] jrib - But the comments further down say otherwise... [14:32] hvgotcodes: erm, you may need to enable backports again [14:32] jrib: my X version is xorg-server 2:1.5.2-2ubuntu3.00~ppa1 [14:32] chazco: ah [14:33] hvgotcodes: then you have some ppa enabled other than backports [14:33] Cyrano_De, Interesting. Unfortunately I can't say I would know the root of that problem. With luck, someone else will chime in with their thoughts. [14:33] jrib: probably the kubuntu one, which i removed [14:34] PoetOfShadows: simultaneously (sorry I needed dictionary xD) [14:34] hi [14:34] hiho [14:34] pawel: as in run them all at the same time, with no interaction in between programs?

I have also tried loading firefox under wine and installing java jre in wine but it still hangs... the site works fine in windows and the site says it is also MAC compatible [14:36] pawel: you're best bet would be to run them one at a time, by putting && in between each command [14:37] I don't like logged channels [14:37] manuel: dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package;-50}\t${Installed-Size}\n' | sort -k 2 -n [14:37] jrib: using synaptic and looking at local or obsolete files i see xorg-server and anakondai [14:37] i need help :/ when i want to start the oracle express database, i get this warning: Operation failed, user ist not a member of the group "dba" [14:37] asias [14:37] Asia Carrera [14:37] thx [14:37] sorny: add yourself to the group dba [14:37] isn't there any command?

Every time I tried it in its 'enhanced' mode the drive would lock up as soon as I tried to run anything from it, so the reason for me to change is documented and there's no need to dwell on that point. The question have is, will I lose very much pr [15:38] oductivity when I switch to the compatible mode? I will need to make the setting change and then reinstall Vista, so I'd rather ask questions before I make so many changes. I don;t think it will make that much difference, but I'd like to get some opinions. [15:38] hi, i wish to check the health of my hdd. what is a good program to do this?

[16:36] borysfan, /etc/rc.local for 'system' type commands/tasks [16:36] Shoopuf: you might try increasing the timeout time in your menu.lst to see if the monitor responds after a longer time and notices it finally. [16:36] NativeAngels: adding a host to /etc/hosts will allow YOU to connect the machine by hostname. So you have to use the ip you would normally use to connect. But, adding /etc/hosts, will NOT make the name available through all of internet [16:36] I want to start my own programm [16:37] I can't do the sudo apt-get install from the server CD because it installs the wrong Ethernet drivers for my network ports.

But first option after that is 'ro' , meaning read-only. [16:37] ok oCean_ [16:38] I forgot to mention that I am booting Ubuntu from a USB hard disk, and Windows XP is installed in a hard disk inside the computer. Could this cause the problem? [16:38] johan12: not sure what cause the filesystem to mount 'read-only' [16:38] ok. SO i want to edit rc.local. How i can do that? [16:38] *caused [16:39] borysfan, we never proved thats what you want to do.. its a text file.. edit it as root with a text editor.. if thats is the proper thing for whatever it is you are running [16:39] borysfan, claify what the program does.. and we can guide you [16:40] oCean_: how come? it's been workin and today it stopped, how do i change it?

Try (re)mounting it by hand: First unmount the disk ("cd" - to ensure you are not on the mountpoint, then "sudo umount /media/LAC" --this is because space is in directoryname) [16:42] ok oCean_ when you update or change the /etc/hosts file do you have to restart anything or will it be recogniesd straight away [16:42] Huufarted: ok, so what it is doing is setting a coloured prompt to show username@hostname and the current working directory on your PS1 prompt [16:42] NativeAngels: effective immediately [16:42] ok [16:42] thanks [16:43] ikonia, I don't think that's the one being invoked, though. hang on.

It says my Ethernet just disconnects. The internet is working, the hardware works. Both work in Windows. How can I solve this issue? Is there a way to update packages and the kernel from a CD or something? [17:35] wow i'm installing xfce on windows via official repo :D [17:35] it worked perfectly once, but then I noticed that my Virtual Hardrive wan't big enough, so I reinstalled Ubuntu, I reinstalled Guest Additions, and now it will only resize so much [17:35] jigspan, i personally use grip mostly , but its a matter of preference [17:35] Masamune, ah I get it, now which version of the live cd did you use? [17:35] fafaz: that's ok yeah, but a bit crappy [17:35] Is it possible to save article in the newsgroups "pan or xpn". I can't saved any article that i read. [17:35] fafaz: you could have like Gnome, and do the others in a virtual machine [17:35] I think it's 5.04 === kgjkhj is now known as toga30 [17:35] fafaz: and then use two at the same time [17:35] Masamune, well, that's why === toga30 is now known as toga30_ [17:35] Masamune, it is trying to fetch things from old locations [17:35] Zeldarock, guestadditions is useful for direct file transfer [17:36] Oh...

[17:36] Vigo - typical tool window for config settings manager in Ubuntu 8.10, I set friction for vobble window style to extremely low value and as a result I got that window away from screen, but it was still open. I was wondering, if there's a chance to get a particular window centered on desktop? [17:36] Can't install .deb packages I download. [17:36] rickard: I belive there is something for WIndows, but this is Ubuntu suppourt, and bugger Vista, and it's lack of features [17:36] Masamune, go to ubuntu.com and get 8.10 [17:37] the network manager is shit, is there an alternative? [17:37] rickard: you should use Ubuntu more and more :) and get away from Vista [17:37] DOn't know if I can, it has to be under 700mb [17:37] sebsebseb: I can't understand how to use them at the same time .. I understand that virtual machine is an independent machine [17:37] why is no one thinking about a crossplatform OS? like "ma-lin wiener OSxxx" able to execute all 3 big systems files out of the box [17:37] fafaz: yes that's what I mean [17:37] by default I only get 3 resolutions [17:37] * jigspan need help [17:37] sebsebseb: ok then [17:37] guys, is there anyway of getting the old gnome-system-monitor ?, like from ubuntu 6.x ? [17:37] sebsebseb: I do use ubuntu.. but I have to use a vista desktop too... and I want that superb function. [17:37] fafaz: your host Ubuntu 8.10 can run Gnome, where as your virtual machine runs KDE3 for example [17:37] where i should pass the flag "--with-gcc-compat=gcc-4.1"? i do: [17:37] ./makedrv, in makedrv: only two make command (with cd [17:37] essentially) [17:37] Hi.

[18:05] Vigo: I know what you mean; I'm rather confused myself...worked just fine on my laptop... [18:05] jtaji - no, it went to my root partition.

[18:05] Cyndre -> we are envious of you with that speed :P [18:05] RoastedTiresX: the mount point is just an empty directory on your root partition, when you mount something there, the mounted disks contents show up [18:06] RoastedTiresX: but if you unmount the disk, you can write to that empty directory [18:06] jtaji - I have a drive mounting automatically in fstab. As a test, I unplugged it, booted, and ran my script to see wha thappened when the drive wasn't connected. [18:06] torc -> your system is hosed.. is this a new install? nothing is getting an ip address [18:06] RoastedTiresX: and what mount point did you set in fstab? [18:06] jtaji - I watched my disk usage for my root partition (only 20gb) and it was pushing my 175+gb of data to the root partition. So I rebooted quick. But somehow 6 gig got trasnferred and I watn to find it to delete it. [18:06] jtaji - /media/localbackup [18:06] jtaji -> umm mount point does not have to be empty, [18:06] sanjud: yes its fresh from the alternate amd64 install (no defects, I did the check). [18:07] RoastedTiresX: so look at /media/localbackup when the drive is NOT mounted [18:07] sanjud: indeed === bruenig_ is now known as bruenig [18:07] how to install gnash [18:07] sanjud: nah, it doesnt do much for anything other then bit torrent, and my desk comp doesnt get more then my home comp [18:07] mostafa: sudo apt-get install gnash ? [18:07] sanjud: as long as you have a 5 mbit connection you are good [18:07] torc -> i dont have 64bit, but can you also post sudo lshw -C network ? [18:08] sanjud: unless you are a compulsive downloader I guess [18:08] jtaji: To test the whole ssh without being logged in thing I logged out and tried to ssh back into the server, no dice. I get no route to host, when I logged out it killed my ethernet connection. [18:08] Cyndre -> thats true, but it seems the other side of the fence is always greener.. [18:08] i just upgraded to kernel 2.6.24-23 on my acer aspire one, along with a bunch of other updates, and now it continually spews error messages to the console. in recovery mode it panics because it tried to kill init [18:08] alanbshepard70: you have some other problem going on then [18:08] anybody have ANY ideas? [18:08] jtaji - bingo. You're the man. I have another question for you if you don't mind... [18:09] when adding a external disk to fstab, do i add it's "*-disk" or "*-volume" logical name? lshw shows it as either *-disk /dev/sdb or *-volume /dev/sdb1 [18:09] can i install ubuntu over fedora core 10 and keep my files?? [18:09] hi. am trying to active my second screen in the nvidia configuration but it not working. === Mud|lunch is now known as Mud [18:09] tpw_rules -> you are trying to kill init? how come? [18:09] can someone help me install gspca driver on my computer? lsub wont see my webcam but dmesg sees a usb device being plugged in [18:10] has anyone managed to get ATi's Proprietary Catalyst 9.2 drivers working on Jaunty? [18:10] eseven73 -> now adays its preferred with UUID, but using the old /dev/sdaX as standby works still [18:10] Zeroyez: #ubuntu+1 for betas [18:10] munk_: gspca is installed by default... [18:10] sanjud: no when i boot up using the 2.6.24-23 kernel recovery it panics because it tried to kill init before even the ubuntu logo and progress bar appear [18:10] sanjud: Here is the lshw you wanted: http://www.papernapkin.org/pastebin/view/4855/ [18:10] ok [18:10] sanjud: I cant see a UUID though [18:11] eseven73 -> blkid [18:11] nanotube, well then i cant do modprobe gspca, it says module not found.. [18:11] doh, i forgot bout that command thanks! [18:11] RoastedTiresX: sure if I know the answer ;) [18:11] jtaji - This sparks a problem in the back of my mind. I have my backup drives for redundancy. They rsync data twice a day via crontab. If a drive goes down and dies at some point, and my rsync script kicks into gear, then it will write data to that folder which will then reside with the root directory and max out the directory. Is there any way to avoid that from happening? [18:11] torc: All I can think of is a reboot to let or allow the ISP to detect it, short of that go over all the forums. Every version I have ran on every box I have has connected to my ISP/LAN straight away. maybe also check the MD5 on that CD. [18:11] torc -> it doesnt look like the correct drivers got loaded [18:11] munk_: because gspca has many components, there's no plain "gspca". you could try "gspca_main" for modprobe... [18:12] munk_: or gspca_whatever-your-webcam-is [18:12] nanotube, ok but then how can i make my webcam show up in lsusb? [18:12] tpw_rules -> umm can you try with grub option single to get into single user mode == recovery [18:12] sanjud: in normal mode it sometimes panics because it tried to kill init, and other times it constantly spews mounds of errors [18:12] munk_: are you plugging it directly into a usb port, or through a usbhub? [18:12] sanjud: thats when it kernel panics [18:13] munk_: (because there are sometimes problems detecting the webcam if it's through a usbhub) [18:13] i just had an unwanted visitor on my remote-desktop, didn't get his ip before he disconnected. Does the remote-desktop/vinagre solution log to someplace? [18:13] tpw_rules -> even in single user mode it panics? [18:13] nanotube, directly [18:13] for the 2.6.24-23 kernel [18:13] sanjud: other kernels work fine [18:13] tpw_rules -> i dont know how old that is, try to re-install it? [18:13] RoastedTiresX: that's a good question, I suppose in your backup script you can parse /etc/mtab to see if it's mounted [18:13] sanjud: alright, thats what I thought kind of. I believe I should have nVidia MCP drivers loaded or Marvell, right now when I click on the little icon it says ASUStek. How would I go about removing those and installing the correct ones? [18:14] its the most recent update [18:14] munk_: well if it doesn't even show up in lsusb, the problem is higher-up in the chain than the kernel module for the cam. does /anything at all/ show up in lsusb when you plug in the cam? [18:14] nanotube, no its directly into the usb in front, i tried the back too.. but no luck.. [18:14] RoastedTiresX: this is one reason at my business I set up a separate backup machine [18:14] sanjud: its the most recent update [18:14] tpw_rules -> perhaps its too new, for jaunty? [18:14] maybe [18:14] jtaji - can you mount drives by UUID via command line and not /dev/sda1? Maybe I could set my script up to mount drives by UUID, and if it fails to mount, maybe it just wont rsync???? [18:14] sanjud: when I right click and go to connection info, it says for driver: forcedeth [18:15] torc -> normally you'd look for drivers in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers [18:15] jtaji - Yeah, I was planning on doing that. But this isn't a business. It's a home network. And I felt nice enough to give my mom my old computer (whcih was light years faster than her pc at the time) so there went my dedicated backup machine. [18:15] torc -> investigate if your nic cards are supported in 64 bits [18:15] sanjud: its running hardy, and i updated it using the software updater. i didnt do something like compile the latest build, i just updated hardy using the gui updater [18:15] RoastedTiresX: hmm perhaps if you delete the mount point directory, and in your backup script mkdir, then mount, backup, then rmdir [18:15] someone help me, ubuntu show me few error: Host bridge: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0071 and a lot of RAM memory: nVidia Corporation Unknown device [18:15] my video card seem not working fine.. [18:16] someone could help me out with this [18:16] jtaji - Hmm... this is turning out to kind of suck... [18:16] RoastedTiresX: that doesn't really help actually [18:16] jtaji - yeah... [18:16] Can we specify an user + group in fstab type=ext3 [18:16] jtaji - Isn't there anyway to just command the rsync command to fail if the mount point isnt available? [18:16] tpw_rules -> i suspect the update screwed it up? did it finish entirely or somehow you have interrupted it? [18:16] I read on a forum that was a bug in ubuntu 6.06. I'm using 7.04 server... maybe the bug exist again [18:16] I have hdd in other computer and when I write file on, i dont want use my user and group. I want use a specific user. Can we ? [18:17] anyone? [18:17] RoastedTiresX, you could write a script to detect if a volume is mounted at a given directory. [18:17] sanjud: it finished entirely, but i was fooling with compiz settings while it was updating. also, it was installing like 120 other updates on top of the kernel [18:17] smoytra -> did you get a chance to read man fstab? [18:17] RoastedTiresX: that's the problem, programs generally don't know/care if something is mounted to a directory or not, it's just a directory [18:17] nanotube, yes my mouse shows up and linux foundation root hub [18:17] nanotube, dont know what the root hub is tho.. [18:17] RoastedTiresX: yep I think that's your solution, you need to verify it's mounted [18:17] tpw_rules -> well, i dont know what you have tinkered with, reboot to the old and do a new update? [18:18] hello! is it a known problem, that synaptic is veeeery slow in 8.10? it often takes 3 to 5 minutes to resolve the dependencies (I guess that is what it's doing) for each package [18:18] munk_: that's "root hub" bits are just empty usb ports. [18:18] Hey guys... I am really trying to get this stupid nvidia driver working... I have a 7800GTS and I installed the drivers from the nvidia website (and also try the 177 drivers) [18:18] sanjud: can i uninstall the new kernel, or just try a new update [18:18] Can someone please help me with a clue? [18:18] unop - Hey there. I talked to you earlier. I assume you got my PM? Do you know what command I could run to ensure the drive is mounted before the rsync script runs? [18:18] Duddle -> or you could be using ipv6 resolver and has to wait til it times out? [18:19] munk_: so if it doesn't show up in lsusb, no wonder the module doesn't get loaded and your webcam doesn't work... what's your webcam model? i can try looking stuff up on the web... [18:19] tpw_rules -> you dont have to do anything to get back to the old kernel other than selecting it on grub menu [18:19] nanotube, its a noname:( thats why i have such a hard time finding stuff.. [18:19] Hey guys. Im in a bit of a panic here.....All of a sudden. Im getting no sound from my ubuntu system. Wa da ef? Im trying to play S.O.A.D in rhythmbox and its telling me failed to open output device. And now that I think of it...I didnt hear the startup sounds for Ubuntu either O_O HELP PLEASE!! [18:19] sanjud: I'll google that, thanks [18:19] Any tutorials on how to strip down a Ubuntu 8.10 live cd? [18:19] i know [18:20] RoastedTiresX, yes, i got your PM - and i responded, but you were gone by then. gimme a sec. [18:20] Masamune -> plenty out there, key word to search is remaster, customize your livecd [18:20] sanjud: i know. so for now, until a new kernel comes out, i should make grub boot to the previous kernel by default [18:20] cheers [18:20] munk_: well, does it have anything at all written on it/the box, that you could use as a hook to try to find stuff? :) [18:20] bonjour à tous [18:20] tpw_rules -> yes, and you can modify your menu.lst to make your old the default again [18:20] munk_: further: are you sure it works at all? (I.e., tried it on a windows box?) [18:20] ok [18:20] !remaster | Masamune [18:20] Masamune: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [18:21] thanks [18:21] nanotube, no not really:( i bought it off ebay and it didnt even come in a box.. [18:21] nanotube, give me a second ill plug it in my laptop see if it sees it and what kind it is..brb [18:21] if a user has no administrive rights ten why does te menu still list programs like synaptic package manager? they can't use it :-s [18:21] tpw_rules -> yw [18:21] thank you hechu and others, i finally got libssl0dev installed [18:21] je parle pas beaucoup anglais [18:21] Hey guys. Im in a bit of a panic here.....All of a sudden. Im getting no sound from my ubuntu system. Wa da ef? Im trying to play S.O.A.D in rhythmbox and its telling me failed to open output device. And now that I think of it...I didnt hear the startup sounds for Ubuntu either O_O HELP PLEASE!! [18:21] is there a way i could make my monitor refresh at 60Hz ?? [18:21] no if only i could figure out WHERE it is installed :p [18:21] Iam getting a lot of screen tearing when moving windows [18:22] familie_ -> understand the difference between rights to read and execute [18:22] munk_: ok... :) [18:22] !fr [18:22] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [18:22] how do you do [18:22] sanjud: alright, they are in fact, 64 bit compatible [18:22] munk_: yea, the random noname webcam off ebay... that makes it tough :) [18:22] ok [18:22] wolter: System->Pref->Screen Res [18:22] wolter: Change the refresh rate there [18:23] rabbit_ubuntu, the only option i get is 50Hz [18:23] torc -> was there like a 64bit livecd you can try out? [18:23] rabbit_ubuntu, though in vista i have 60Hz [18:23] bon chat .. amitiés à tous .. bye [18:23] I can not get grub to boot my Windows XP partition. Here is my fdisk -l output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/128417/ [18:23] wolter: Hmm, you have the proper drivers for your vid card? [18:23] wolter: Or CURRENT I should say === Marcio is now known as Guest33984 [18:23] Olá [18:23] Traveler372, Pastebin your grub.conf [18:23] nanotube, i know but i was short on money and in need of a webcam...so yeah thats what i get when i try to cut corners.. [18:24] Olá [18:24] rabbit_ubuntu, yes... nvidia 180.11 [18:24] Traveler372 -> post your /boot/grub/menu.lst also [18:24] rabbit_ubuntu, 22 was giving me problems [18:24] RoastedTiresX, is_mounted() { grep -q "$1" /etc/mtab && return 0; } is_mounted /media/mount_point && echo yes it's mounted [18:24] sanjud: well I already installed the 64 bit version on my PC. So it's on there. And I was trying the 64bit liveCD and that gave me nothing as well (internet wise) [18:24] wolter: YOu tried changing the settings in the control center for the driver? [18:25] Is there a way to set the "default configuration" in gnome-display-properties? I want my screens mirrored upon login (as it is a docked laptop). [18:25] torc -> i dont know what to tell you, i aint got 64bit, so i can not speak from experience.. [18:25] nanotube, sorry this might take a few minutes, I dont know why but my ubuntu laptop takes forever to boot, it gets stuck in this one place and it just sits there for 4-5 minutes until it boots...its kind of annoying [18:25] sanjud, http://paste.ubuntu.com/128418/ is menu.lst [18:25] unop - Isn't there a way to block anything to be read/written to the folders UNLESS a drive is mounted to it? All I need is to somehow block data transmission to those folders when no drive is there. I just can't have it pushing 180gb of data to a 20gb partition. Do you know anything about that? [18:25] rabbit_ubuntu, hm.. let me see [18:25] Hello gentlement. [18:25] gentlemen too! [18:26] Traveler372, I don't see an entry for your windows partition, sir. :3 [18:26] Traveler372 -> you're cheatin you have Mint not Ubuntu, anyhow, you have to have an entry like those in lines 38 to 42 [18:26] I have tried different entries; I can paste everything I tried if it would help [18:26] is it possible to select a line with the keyboard in gedit? [18:26] Hey guys. Im in a bit of a panic here.....All of a sudden. Im getting no sound from my ubuntu system. Wa da ef? Im trying to play S.O.A.D in rhythmbox and its telling me failed to open output device. And now that I think of it...I didnt hear the startup sounds for Ubuntu either O_O HELP PLEASE!! Help would be appreciated on this [18:26] Will software for one linux distro work for another or are they all different in what will run? [18:26] RoastedTiresX, well. change the above line accordingly. is_mounted() { grep -q "$1" /etc/mtab && return 0; } is_mounted /media/mount_point && rsync ... /path/to/src /media/mount_point [18:27] Masamune -> depends, sometimes it requires recompiling or getting the correct package version [18:27] unop - Good God I have no idea what command you just gave me. Taht's spanglish to me. haaa [18:27] I was having problems with unetbootin and was told to 0 out my thumb drive using DD and try again. My question is what filesystem do I need to partition the thumb drive with in order for the live cd to work? ext2 or ext3 would make sense, but if memory serves me correctly it was fat16 before and worked perfectly fine. Apologies for the stupid question. [18:27] !who [18:27] 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 :) [18:27] Is recompiling easy? [18:28] yeah the intrepid USB key maker formats it as FAT xGeek [18:28] xGeek: I use fat32 usually. [18:28] Davedan, errm. HOME, Shift + END [18:28] Thank you. [18:28] sanjud, I get an Invalid device requested error [18:28] Traveler372 -> huh? what changes you made to provide entries for you ntfs? [18:29] Masamune: Recompiling software properly is not easy :( You have to hope someone else has it properly set up/compiled/packaged for your distro already. [18:29] RoastedTiresX, that checks /etc/mtab if there's an entry for the mountpoint and if there is .. does your command. [18:29] Okay, cheers [18:29] xGeek -> umm usb drive booting would not work with ext2 ? [18:29] Masamune: all Desktop Linux's can run the same programs, but they are done in different formats [18:29] unop - are those my only options? [18:29] Masamune: well except for like tar and that which is for them all [18:30] sanjud, I don't remember exactly, as I was editing from within grub, but it was similar to http://paste.ubuntu.com/128420/ [18:30] Oh ok, I was just wondering if I could use pencil which is for Ubuntu which comes down as a .deb install under SLax [18:30] Masamune: Ubuntu programs are done in Deb, where as Redhat is done in RPM [18:30] unop: doesn't work [18:30] does vino-server do any logging? for connection history etc [18:30] RoastedTiresX, well, no. if rsync is run as a user and the mount_point doesn't have a volume mounted at it .. rsync would fail because of permissions issues .. but off course, that doesn't work when rsync is run as root. [18:30] Traveler372 -> i dont want to guess, either you have the entry correct, i dont want to waste my time [18:30] guys, anybody know where to find arabic to english dictionary for ktranslator? I have searched with no luck [18:30] can anyone tell me where i can find the file to enable ssh? [18:30] thanks rabbit_ubuntu, didn't try that before, now i'm on 67hz =D [18:31] remote access, that is [18:31] i turned it off because i thought i had been hacked but now i want to turn it back on [18:31] joanki123 -> install openssh-server [18:31] Dave123, press the HOME key then hold SHIFT down and press END [18:31] sanjud, i changed one of my essential files [18:31] can you tell me how i can find it again [18:31] unop - Do I HAVE to run rsync as root? Is that a stupid question? [18:31] joanki123 -> i dont know what file you changed, try to remember it [18:32] joanki123: You may have turned off the service in /etc/rc3.d/ . You may have toggled it in system-admininstration->Services? [18:32] wassy121, thanks [18:32] RoastedTiresX -> not stupid, some directory can only be copied by root priviledge if owned by root [18:32] wolter: No problem man [18:32] wolter: Thats why your here, to get help eh? [18:32] RoastedTiresX, well, that depends .. if the data at the source is owned by the user running rsync, then there's no point in running rsync as root. but if the data at the source is owned by multiple users, then you'd need to run rsync as root. so, it depends [18:32] rabbit_ubuntu, yeah, and to give :p [18:33] Would programs from ubuntu work under Kubuntu? [18:33] Masamune: yes [18:33] ah sweet. [18:33] wolter: lol, indeed my friend....Indeed.... [18:33] unop - No, it's just me on my computer. Could I set it up so rsync only runs UNDER Jason and fails if the directories aren't mounted? [18:33] someone help me setting up my video card in Ubuntu please [18:33] << Masamune: same goes the other way too. (kde progs working under gnome) [18:33] whats the best channel for help on python... complete noob needing a little help [18:33] Cheers [18:33] Vigo -> am on my 3rd cup of joe today.. :P [18:34] mcai8sh4: have you tried #python ? [18:34] The data I'm copy ing is simply my home directory. I'm rsyncing it from my primary drive to my backup drive mounted automatically in fstab by UUID. [18:34] RoastedTiresX, sure. configure the mounted volume to give jason write permissions and run rsync as jason. [18:34] 1421!!!! Keeps on growing! Used to be sub 1,000 avg a year or so ago. Over. [18:34] mcai8sh4 -> try #python === Andry_Work is now known as AndryZ [18:34] unop - to run it as jason, I simply have to be logged in as jason and not use sudo... right? [18:34] RoastedTiresX, if the volume is not mounted .. rsync would fail (permissions) [18:34] haha - new to irc too. Thanks [18:34] Masamune: Yeah, the differences between distributions like RedHat versus Ubuntu are large. However, ubuntu and kubuntu are both built on the "ubuntu base", thus making them and their packages nearly exactly the same. kubuntu just puts a different face on the GUI. [18:34] I've noticed a problem lately and was wondering if it is limited to just me, the audio on flash videos are stuck looping. It isn't limited to the type of flash player either, both YouTube and Vimeo have the problem. [18:35] RoastedTiresX, well, you can have a cron job do it - then jason doesn't have to be actually logged on. and yea, no sudo. [18:35] can Kubuntu be run on an Ibook G4? [18:35] RoastedTiresX -> you can try to read the man pages for fstab, and notice the difference between user and users (plural) as option of mounting [18:35] Masamune: the old one>? [18:35] I've got the old Ubuntu I'm looking for a newer one that can run as a Live CD [18:36] RoastedTiresX, what filesystem on the backup volume? [18:36] #python says I need to be identified [18:36] sanjud, http://paste.ubuntu.com/128425/ gives me an "Invalid Device Requested" error [18:36] unop - EXT3 [18:36] Masamune: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/release/ [18:36] Hi, has anyone experienced a blank screen at boot time? My system was working fine with 7.x, but not with 8.10. I have an ATI graphic card. [18:36] RoastedTiresX, that's fine then .. just make sure jason has the permissions to write to the volume. [18:37] unop - is this what you're recommending? Set up crontab to run my script as jason (not root), and leave fstab as is with auto-moutning my drives by UUID, and then if the drive fails when crontab tells it to rsync and the drive isn't mounted, it'll simply not work... correct? [18:37] Does anything special need to be installed to mount a fat32 usb memory stick? [18:37] nanotube, i cant find it, my other ubuntu box is messed up, apparently theres something wrong with some usb cuz everytime i do dmesg it shows something else (everything related with vc032x and then it says something with unknown sensor) [18:37] Traveler372 -> thats because you counted wrong /dev/sda5 is not same as root (0,4) [18:37] Musicgoat, I can't use that 8.10 is to big for my CD's [18:37] Is there a way to change the profile of a Gnome terminal from a script? I've been trying to find a way to do this. [18:38] munk_: hmm... well, i'm going to eat some lunch, then... :) sorry i couldn't be of more help. :| [18:38] flippo -> none [18:38] Is there any substitute for Visual Studio.Net in Ubuntu? I mean which is almost exactly the same as Visual Studio.Net [18:38] flippo: no, the fat32 module should be pre-loaded. [18:38] sanjud, would it be root(0,5) [18:38] RoastedTiresX, right - by virtue of the fact that jason doesn't have the permissions to write to the destination (as it's not mounted) which is owned by root. [18:38] unop - didn't work. I just unmounted my backup drive and ran my backup script uatomatically. It started to push the data to the /media/localbackup directory (my mount point for my backup drive) and my root partition started to fill up. [18:38] nanotube, its ok thank you for trying... [18:39] sanjud, wassy121, thanks. I guess there's a different reason I can't mount one. [18:39] dr_phd1: Anjuta is a C/C++ IDE. However, nothing is the same as "Visual Studio .NET", because .NET is all Windows cruft. [18:39] Traveler372 -> my ooops, its correct,, sda5 is 0,4 im the one that counted wrong, but is that where windows bootable is really? [18:39] RoastedTiresX, whose crontab are you calling the rsync script from? jason's or root's - there's a difference. [18:39] munk_: good luck... [18:39] Anyone know any Distro's under 660mb that will run with a Ibook G4 PPC? [18:39] dr_phd1, i recommend geany.. [18:40] flippo -> you have root priviledge while mounting? [18:40] unop - I'm not ru nning through crontab right now. I simply executed my script in terminal WITHOUT sudo. [18:40] helloooo... can anyone please reply.... [18:40] dr_phd1, supports c, c++, d, python, html, css, ... [18:40] Is there any substitute for Visual Studio.Net in Ubuntu? I mean which is almost exactly the same as Visual Studio.Net [18:40] RoastedTiresX, let's see the permissions on /media/localbackup then. ls -ld /media/localbackup [18:40] dr_phd1, if you want net, then you are looking for mono develop [18:40] Hello all together :-) [18:40] dr_phd1 mono [18:40] dr_phd1, what language are you programming in? [18:40] drwxr-xr-x 69 jason jason 4096 2009-03-08 14:00 localbackup [18:40] RoastedTiresX, also. grep "/media/localbackup" /etc/mtab [18:41] sanjud, I know my windows partition is in sda5 (I can mount it). Does ntfs have a bootable tag that could get turned off? [18:41] Does n [18:41] sanjud, haven't quite gotten that far. Nautilus sees the memory stick and lists its size correct. But it isn't mounted, and I can't identify the /dev/ [18:41] that grep command did nothing [18:41] Does anywhere an german help-channel exist? I'm a new linux/ubuntu user and I need help [18:41] is there a way i can use the volume buttons on my laptop to controll the PCM slider instead of the Master slider in ALSA mixer?

Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [18:42] RoastedTiresX, ok .. your problem now is that jason owns that directory and therefore can write to it .. if there's nothing mounted there, root should own the directory (not jason). [18:42] Traveler372 -> am not too sure, i dont have windows, so i cant verify it it requires it [18:42] unop - So I should chown -R root:jason with 755 rights? [18:42] RoastedTiresX, no... [18:42] Thank you very much :-) [18:43] how can I use krousader in root mod [18:43] RoastedTiresX, make sure there's nothing mounted at the dir. sudo umount /media/localbackup; sudo chown root.root /media/localbackup; sudo chmod 755 /media/localbackup; [18:44] unop - when I mount the drive to localbackup, would jason have the ability to write then? [18:44] RoastedTiresX, now, root owns the directory but when you mount the volume -- you should see jason become the owner. [18:44] ahh, okay [18:44] lemme test that unop [18:44] I am quite new and attempting having my first go at Linux. I am going to dual boot Vista64 and Ubuntu8.10 - On the download page there is a radio button for 32 or 64 bit. I am confused as to why the 64bit file name has AMD in it? [18:44] where to find arabic -> english dictionary for ktranslator ? [18:45] ShipwreckZombies: it's a legacy naming [18:45] I don't follow? [18:45] unop - you were dead on. I'll test an rsync now. [18:45] pls how can I use my ubuntu in root mod [18:45] RoastedTiresX, to change the permissions on the volume itself (not the mountpoint) - mount the volume and change the permissions on the mountpoint .. the changes get recorded on the volume .. when you dismount the volume, the permissions on the mountpoint are reset [18:45] unop - but I still have to make sure I DONT use sudo, right? [18:45] sylonely: use sudo [18:45] RoastedTiresX, right, no sudo. [18:46] dr_phd1, mono is for .NET, but I guess you are looking for BASIC.. let me research a little === fdf is now known as Martins [18:46] I did it in consol but when it ask for password I cant write password [18:46] hello [18:46] garfild [18:46] sylonely: its the same password as when you login === Martins is now known as Guest72276 [18:47] I am running an Intel CPU, does the AMD in the file name not refer to a specific processor type? [18:47] ye I know it is dont let me to typ it [18:47] sylonely: use sudo passwd [18:47] how to limit the ICMP to prevent Ddos ? [18:47] fafaz, sylonely - no, don't do that. [18:48] !root | fafaz [18:48] fafaz: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:48] I use su root [18:48] ShipwreckZombies: yes, that matters. With 64bit Intel, you are looking for "x86_64" type packages. === [perry] is now known as [pErry] [18:48] unop - didbnt work. My root partition is maxing out now. How can I stop it? [18:48] and it ask password but I cant type it [18:48] where do i check the boot log, it keeps hanging at * Starting kernel log daemon... [ OK ] [18:48] RoastedTiresX, let's see the permissions on the mountpoint again .. make sure the volume is dismounted. === dracnoc is now known as dracnoc_feeding [18:48] it dont let me write anything [18:48] unop: why? I did that and it works ! [18:49] sylonely: are you sure... password prompts don't give feedback, as in you are not supposed to see anything when you type [18:49] can someone help me? i have a noname webcam that i cant see on lsusb but dmesg sees that a highspeed usb device is plugged in.. [18:49] Wassy121: I thought as much, but the ubuntu.com download page... I'm only seeing two options: 32bit and 64bit [18:49] unop - the volume is dismounted. My root partition is maxing out. [18:49] ShipwreckZombies the AMD in the file name is to distinguish between X86_64 and intel itanium [18:49] unop - Okay Im aight now, one scond [18:49] fafaz, yes it works - but it's not recommended .. unless you want to sit here 24hours a day supporting people with issues that come about after this command. [18:50] RoastedTiresX, ls -dl /media/localbackup [18:50] look i wrote su root [18:50] sylonely, what are you trying to do? [18:50] and then it ask password but I cant type it it dont let me to type [18:50] unop - I reset my permissions. the directory when unmounted is owned by root, when mounted its owned by me. I think it should be okay now, but thats how it was before. I dont know what went wrong. [18:51] unop: OK, so give a reference to why it's not recommended [18:51] sylonely, it lets you type the password - it just doesn't echo anything back to the screen. [18:51] unop - Doh! I think in my rsync scrip tit says sudo... [18:51] I want put amsn plugin its folder but I dont have permission [18:51] !supportroot | fafaz [18:51] fafaz: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [18:52] unop - yeah, my script has sudo rsync. Should I remove the sudo? [18:52] sylonely: try this: gksudo nautilus [18:52] RoastedTiresX, yes .. otherwise rsync is run as 'root' - defeating everything you've worked towards. [18:52] in alt+f2? [18:52] sylonely: then type password, then move file to where-ever you need. caution, that file manager has root access [18:53] sylonely: or in the terminal, but yeah, alt+f2 [18:53] unop - bingo. Everything is failing now due to permission denied. [18:53] On the Ubuntu.com download page there are only options for 32 or 64bit processors. I have an Intel Dual Core which has Vista64 currently running on it - When I hit the 64bit radio button I am given the file 'ubuntu8.10-desktop-amd64.iso' Is this correct? [18:54] yes in terminal when ı use password it dont show but I typed it it said permission problem [18:54] ShipwreckZombies: 64-bit PC (AMD64) install/live DVD Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the Intel x86 images instead. [18:54] what happened to my /dev/hd* devices for my IDE cdrom drives? I can't run hdparm on the scd* devices. [18:54] sylonely, the root account is locked by default on ubuntu - that's why you cannot use su to become root. [18:54] I was able to mount my usb memory stick by hand, after finding the device with sg_utils. I was expecting Nautilus to do this for me, somehow. [18:55] unop - So what this basically ensures is that in order for the script to work, the drives have to be actively mounted to the proper directories. If they are not, the permissions on the directory changes and the permissions block me from rsyncing. [18:55] sylonely, if you tell us what you want to do.. we'll help with a workaround. [18:55] RoastedTiresX, precisely [18:55] Can I open it then that lock [18:55] unop: he's trying to drop an amsn plugin [18:55] unop - Now, what did you say earlier about if I had multiple users here that it wouldnt work. What was that about? [18:56] I'm having trouble getting my wireless card to work, I'm using ndsiwrapper and everything went fine it installed fine the device is present it shows up in network tools and ifconfig says it is up and running but i still can't connect to my router. I tried manually i tried it on automatic it seems to see it but nothing is happening any one can help me?? thnaks [18:56] RoastedTiresX, well, if jason cannot read into karen's home directory due to permissions issues - rsync will fail (obviously) - does that make sense? [18:56] unop - ohhh, yeah. I got that. [18:56] when getting new sources, should i get "deb" or "deb-src"? === timmy is now known as Guest80079 [18:56] smikgoat|main: Is it a bit of a confusing naming convention? I am quite baffled, it seems backwards [18:56] :( the i810 driver doesn't work with 8.10 [18:56] timmy: deb [18:56] unop - So if karen was on my system, there'd be no way for me to rsync her directory AT ALL using this method?? [18:57] musikgoat: thanks [18:57] Later guys [18:57] by sources do you mean source code or binary packages [18:57] Hello [18:57] unop - Ig uess the only way using this method that her directory could be rsync'd too would be if she would be logged in and run the script herself. [18:57] RoastedTiresX, that's when you have to be root .. root can read everyone's files. but root can also write anywhere .. so you'd have to use another way to ensure that the volume is actually mounted before running rsync. [18:57] ShipwreckZombies: the 64 bit architecture was implemented first by AMD, but your right, they should change that [18:57] RoastedTiresX, you can have a separate cronjob for karen - that'd work. [18:58] unop - I see. that makes sense. That's when I'd have to use your other method, right? [18:58] Oh! Someone mentioned earlier is was a legacy naming convention, so I guess that makes sense [18:58] RoastedTiresX, but imagine you had 20 users - it starts to become cumbersome [18:58] RoastedTiresX, yes [18:58] unop - It's no big deal with me, Im the only one that uses my computer, so that's not a problem. But I'd like to be aware of any issues if that would be the case. [18:58] unop - thanks for your help!! [18:58] I'm having a problem with samba [18:58] musikgoat|main: what they should change x86_64 name? no clue why ubuntu uses the amd64 name instead of the x86_64 though [18:58] I can't see my windows shares [18:58] hey all, problem installing ubuntu 8.10 on a low ram machine with a USB stick. I was wondering if anyone knows what the name of the "command line install" package that the alternate cd uses? i would like to just install that to the liveUSB rather than redo the key with the alternate cd. Anyone know the name of the package (if its a package) [18:59] kitche: why bother changing it? [18:59] RoastedTiresX, well, it's simple if you check if the volume is actually mounted -- from the output of the 'mount' command or in /etc/mtab. [18:59] hi, i just installed Ubuntu and everything worked fine. I installed the latest ati drivers and nearly 250 updates. But when i rebooted, it got as far as the login screen and the display went garbeled and unusable [18:59] thanks all with gksudo I solve it see ya later [18:59] Thanks for the help everyone, hopefully i'll see you on here again from Ubuntu shortly [18:59] unop - do you have a guide I could read up on that? I'm about to head out but I'd like to read it up later... [18:59] does annyone know how to install moodle on ubuntu server i can't get it on it [19:00] RoastedTiresX, errm .. well, it's a simple shell command - so i guess you want a shell scripting guide .. I recommend http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide [19:00] bruce89: because of situations like this where people think that their intel _64 bit proc isn't supported [19:00] Hi friends, I am designing a new application layer protocol like (Http&ftp). And i want to register my project under GPL public license. Do i need to register some where to do this ? [19:00] unop - Wghats the command called? to check mounts? [19:00] Hello. [19:00] musikgoat|main: that's what Debian call it too [19:00] RoastedTiresX, mount [19:00] jamnz: hello [19:01] bruce89: so maybe it should be a universal nomenclature change [19:01] RoastedTiresX, so to check if /media/localbackup is in the output of the mount command. you would do. mount | grep "/media/localbackup" [19:01] musikgoat|main: Debian ports don't change names [19:01] unop - If it is not mounted, would it block rsync in the next command in my script? [19:02] i have a bit of a problem, i was hoping sombody could assist, I have ubuntu installed on my laptop, however whenever it boots, it will go through the loading screen, however after that it just goes to a black screen and stays there [19:02] musikgoat|main: it could require changing huge numbers of packages [19:02] I need help with getting Vino VNC Server to start automatically on Ubuntu 8.10.

[19:02] sudo wget http://download.moodle.org/stable19/moodle-latest-19.tgz does not go anny more annyone knows a other link [19:02] RoastedTiresX, it depends on how you structure the script then [19:02] sudo wget http://download.moodle.org/stable19/moodle-latest-19.tgz does not go anny more annyone knows a other link [19:02] zilleplus: moodle is in the repositories. Use APT [19:02] unop - I was assuming itd be 2 commands, with rsync right afterwards on the line below [19:02] jrip wath do you mean?? [19:02] there must be a vino config file I can configure, correct? [19:02] zilleplus: do you know what APT is? [19:02] no [19:03] zilleplus: how about synaptic? [19:03] no just beginner lol [19:03] bruce89: yeah, i guess its pretty difficult to accomplish that, i still think it should be done, on a release... there could be symlinks to .amd64 such and such [19:03] RoastedTiresX, if mount | grep -q "/media/localbackup"; then echo "/media/localbackup appears to be mounted"; rysnc ...; fi [19:03] !software | zilleplus [19:03] are they the sama as moodle??

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [19:27] wanttotryubuntu: okay. let's concentrate on AMD64 then, since you clearly have a 64-bit system. [19:28] wanttotryubuntu: btw, did you build this system from scratch by yourself or did you buy it pre-built? [19:28] Why does the manpage for SSH say it's a BSD command? [19:28] :s that wasnt fast [19:28] hi [19:28] gnea, i went to hardware store, bought the parts, got it assembled there, got 2 systems with EXACT same specs ..one mine, one friend's [19:29] can i give more than one uid to a partition on ubuntu? [19:29] can i mask or hide my IP in some way so the server wont know my Ip address ? [19:29] magcius, SSH is made by the people who make OpenBSD [19:29] !uuid [19:29] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [19:29] wanttotryubuntu: got it assembled there? [19:29] gnea yes [19:29] ZykoticK9, you mean OpenSSH, right? [19:30] use some form of random free IP address perhaps , becasue DHCP assign us the IPs [19:30] is there a way to make a whole disk encrypted in Ubuntu? I want to mount a 250 GB drive into the filesystem but make every file that goes on there encrypted [19:30] gnea and everything works PEFECTLY a my friend's place [19:30] gnea it haunts me what goes wrong at my place [19:30] magcius, ok yes the people that make OpenBSD make OpenSSH [19:30] what possibilities do I have to recover the data if I ever take that drive out of my system and install it in another pc? [19:30] Ah, okay. So OpenSSH is under MIT/X11/BSD License? [19:30] wanttotryubuntu: ah ok, so it was pre-built. well, let's forget about your friend's computer for now and see what's up with yours. [19:31] is pigdin the only chat client for ubuntu ? [19:31] yaniv: no [19:31] !im [19:31] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

Its not really full disk encryption, there has to be a part thats not encrypted for the system to start. See http://snuxoll.com/dropbox/Papers/linux_security.pdf for more info. [19:32] yaniv: be aware it's a KDE program [19:32] yaniv: I don't like Kopete [19:32] sebsebseb hello [19:32] sebsebseb still cant get out of busybox [19:32] yaniv: Kopete always seems to do weird stuff with my accounts [19:32] !empathy [19:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about empathy [19:32] duffy: caps [19:32] wanttotryubuntu: ok uhmmmmm [19:33] Iceman_B^Ltop: as for your other question, you should be able to get the data off the drive as long as you still know the encryption key, and you have the program you used to encrypt the drive on the new machine. [19:33] wanttotryubuntu: you can try the Live CD for another Linux distribution, but we shoudn't talk to much about those here [19:33] !anything [19:33] So, you wanted to lure me into saying I don't know anything about anything? Yeah, that would be funny, of course. Now leave me alone. [19:33] lol [19:33] wanttotryubuntu: also something is weird with your computer, becuase Ubuntu should boot up on it [19:34] wanttotryubuntu: if you have Windows on it though, you could do Ubuntu with wubi, I woudn't normally recommend wubi, but in your case it could be good [19:34] Othor, thx.. is there one installed somewhere as a default? its not set up to use one, jsut wondered if compiz ships an image [19:34] wanttotryubuntu: wait no you will probably get busybox there to nevermind [19:34] sebsebseb: that's what I was trying to work with him with, but clearly he's too upset to solve the problem === dracnoc_feeding is now known as dracnoc [19:34] sebsebseb windows is as we all know a crybaby .. if something was wrong with my hardware, windows would crib everytime i tried to install / boot it [19:34] Gnea: you were trying to do what?

[19:35] wanttotryubuntu: no, because Windows has much better hardware suppourt, than Ubuntu [19:35] wanttotryubuntu: ,because Windows has most of the market for the desktop [19:35] im on crunchbang [19:35] thats gnome [19:35] sebsebseb: that's not quite true [19:35] or openbox [19:35] wanttotryubuntu: and so every PC manufacture has to suppourt Windows properly, where as they can get away with not suppourting Ubuntu properly [19:35] sebsebseb: what?

[19:36] bruce89: sure, but not as well as Windows in that case [19:36] wanttotryubuntu: perhaps the bios settings are different [19:36] Quick question: If installing a file from source, to where should we move the folder containing the make and install files, BEFORE installing from source? [19:36] sebsebseb: not neccessarily [19:37] Gnea .. i tried that too .. i phoned him to confirm that bios ID strings are the same [19:37] sebsebseb: that's not supporting Ubuntu very well. who are you?

[19:40] Gnea sorry , this is the only desktop that i have [19:40] acerone: you can have a look at /var/log/apt/term.log (you'll likely need to use sudo to view it) [19:41] how do I fix "Server Authorization directory (daemon/ServAuthDir) is set to /var/lib/gdm but this does not exist. Please correct GDM configuration and restart GDM" Error? Prior to this boot hangs at *Starting log daemon [ OK ] for like 15 minutes [19:41] gnea also, as i have been trying to figure this out the whole day, i have some error stuff written down [19:41] sebsebseb: still able to assist me with checkpoint? [19:41] hollywoodb: ok [19:41] i try reconfigure xserver-xorg but i can´t configure my video card [19:41] tony__: why did you PM me the other night regarding your checkpoint? [19:41] gnea .. basically i was told to remove quiet and splash using F6 .. basically 2 errors pop up [19:41] sebsebseb: because you were away and thought i'd leave you a message [19:41] hey ... actually i am not able to do PC to PC calls with skype using ubuntu as OS [19:41] bruce89: hrm. i've been using ubuntu for a few years now, debian for the past decade... I'm sorry, I'm not entirely sure what you mean... I see people get frustrated, but those who flat-out hate tend not to stick around for very long [19:41] tony__: right, but I don't even remember talking to you about that [19:42] my internal mic is recording the sound very well .. [19:42] gnea they go 'something' like this .. buffer i/o error on dev sr0 [19:42] hollywoodb: what am I looking for? [19:42] Gnea: you get to just use it, and not love it [19:42] sebsebseb: you said in #ubuntu you were able to help? unless I got the wrong person?

[19:43] sebsebseb: correct, trying to get my sxn client to work with it [19:43] acerone: I would look to see if there were any updates to madwifi/atheros stuff, the kernel, things like that. also, do you see the wifi device with `iwconfig` or `ifconfig -a` ? [19:43] wanttotryubuntu: do you know if it's IDE or SATA? [19:43] Or what that capability is called ? [19:43] with compiz is it possible to get dialogs for an app to open in the same workspace as the app? [19:43] Gnea i could seriously live with that [19:43] <_natschil> hello, is there a simple way I can edit in what order services start? [19:43] hollywoodb: I do see ath0 in iwconfig [19:43] Gnea, how to confirm ? [19:43] tony__: ok I haven't used checkpoint so I don't know, however you may be able to find a soloution on ubuntuforums.org [19:43] Sorry for asking again, but I think my question got missed: If installing a file from source, to where should we move the folder containing the make and install files, BEFORE installing from source? [19:44] brandon_thomson: if you don't get your answer, also ask in #compiz-fusion [19:44] sebsebseb: thank you, but I have already browsed most of the internet for my problem :-) sorry for pm'ing you [19:44] thanks musikgoat|main [19:44] acerone: well, then your card appears to be detected, so maybe something went wrong with the configuration and the updates aren't that important. [19:44] hollywoodb: it is there, but somethings not right. I found one update (hardware driver manager) and disabled that. and i can connect to wireless, but somethign still is screwing it up [19:44] acerone: what do you mean "screwing it up" ? [19:44] hollywoodb: everything was setup fine untill i updated [19:44] tony__: no problem regarding the pm [19:44] wanttotryubuntu: turn the computer off, open the case, look at the cable going from the DVDDrive to the motherboard - if it's a long, flat ribbon, it's IDE. if it's a skinny two-wire red/blue/black cable, it's probably SATA [19:44] tony__: I could probably help you with loads of other things, but not that [19:45] :) [19:45] my internal mic is not working while making PC to PC calls ... but it is recording sound .. can anyone help me out to resolve the problem ??? [19:45] tony__: I meant Ubuntu stuff yeah [19:45] Gnea... i assure you its SATA [19:45] sebsebseb: you can help me with one main problem, firefox right click [19:45] hollywoodb: I think the problem was the update that added "Hardware Drivers" to my Admin Menu. And in that dialog, there is support for Atheros driver (which I disabled, cuz I want the madwifi driver) [19:45] tony__: what about it? [19:45] hollywoodb: when I disabled that my card was recognized again. . . [19:45] Gnea, i assure you that i have only ONE hard drive which is SATA 2... i have only ONE dvd writer which is SATA but i dont know if it is sata 1 or sata 2 [19:45] Ikelos234: depending on the installer, the correct files should be placed in the correct locations during make install. i've never moved the source dir when compiling [19:45] sebsebseb: have you seen the firefox right click bug? [19:45] wanttotryubuntu: okay. in that case, I would try to re-seat the SATA cable and see if that helps [19:45] tony__: nope [19:45] acerone: madwifi is old, the atheros drivers are the new gig [19:46] acerone: Have you tried with the atheros drivers? [19:46] depends on what youre trying to do with the network card [19:46] hollywoodb: no [19:46] wanttotryubuntu: it won't matter if it's 1 or 2, a bad cable is a bad cable [19:46] i.e. when i sometimes rightclick a link, it doesnt open the menu but preforms menu tasks [19:46] my internal mic is not working while making PC to PC calls ... but it is recording sound .. can anyone help me out to resolve the problem ??? [19:46] such as "send link via email" [19:46] hollywoodb: so how do I uninstall the madwifi drivers?

[19:47] hollywoodb: do you know if they are compatable with the aircrack-ng suite? Cuz thats one thing that didnt work after the update. airmon-ng would give an error about a ath0 "no such device" [19:47] how can i make sure ???

[19:48] ok, i will have to turn off the pc to check cables again [19:48] hi [19:48] wanttotryubuntu: there could, of course, be some other problems facing the way ubuntu is trying to get along with the system. my suggestion is to start with the hardware and go from there. [19:48] Ok im missing something, ive set a "cap" in compiz, the default one in /usr/share/compiz actually.. but its only using it for the top of cube, not bottom [19:48] Stupendoussteve: How do I try the atheros drivers?? How do i disable madwifi? [19:48] y0loek: just right click on the partition, select new, then swap (i believe thats the order) [19:48] Gnea , sure .. lets go step by step [19:49] acerone: if your card is functioning properly with any driver aircrack should work. aircrack doesn't care what specific driver you use as long as the driver+card are working properly [19:49] y0loek: have you written the changes to disk though?

[19:58] musikgoat|main: Yes, unfortunately it just says to do the whole "configure make install" thing , which I already knew...

[19:59] hollywoodb: yes [19:59] i know how to code in html but i need a editor like dreamweaver [19:59] !headset [19:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about headset [19:59] !info screen [19:59] screen (source: screen): terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation.

I have some problem with java on ubuntu 8.10. am trying to install Zend Studio For Eclipse and I always got this error : exec: 2481: /tmp/install.dir.10313/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: not found [20:00] ashish: to be honest the Linux altenratives to Dreamweaver aren't that great really, I expect Dreamweaver will run under Wine though, or you could run it in a Windows virtual machine, as long as your computer has enough RAM [20:01] So any time i try to play games or watch movies my computer freeze [20:01] sebsebseb: that is ENOUGH. [20:01] What would be causeing thios? [20:01] TwistedGhost: ok got the graphics card driver? [20:01] hollywoodb: in my job its important that i have access to tools lke aircrack and kismet. And they were working fine, until I ran the update manager [20:01] how to install nvu [20:01] sebsebseb, ashish, some versions of dreamweaver do run in wine [20:01] ashish: you want kompozer, NVU isn't suppourted anymore [20:02] i tryed installing the graphics card driver and it broke my graphics [20:02] i m using gnome [20:02] so that komposer not [20:02] ashish: kompozer will install and work just fine [20:02] !wine | ashish [20:02] ashish: 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 [20:02] it doesn't require a KDE interface, just a few kde libraries to display [20:03] sebsebseb: that's quite a bit of work for just a simple procedure [20:03] Gnea: what was enough? [20:03] sebsebseb, when i did try to install the graphics card drivers it broke my graphics so i couldnt see anything and had to reinstall [20:03] hey folks I think I broke how/which repos apt-get and aptitude look at. how can i restore the defaults? [20:04] TwistedGhost: ok that's your problem then probably [20:04] TwistedGhost: also when it comes to AVI or whatever for vidoe you got the codecs? [20:04] codecs [20:04] lifechat 3000 wont work with ubuntu, HELP! [20:04] sebsebseb: when you say that the linux alternative html editors aren't all that good. I've never had a problem with them, and thousands of others haven't either. [20:04] Thomas = yes edit /etc/apt/sources.list [20:04] ok so how do install the graphics card drivers so they wont break my computer? [20:04] acerone: are you sure there wasn't a kernel update? maybe have a look at this thread, specifically posts 5,6,7 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=943189 [20:04] ok thx [20:04] hollywoodb: yeah, on second glance there was a kernel update, so I booted the old kernel up, but still the same problem [20:04] Gnea: I would rather hand code than use a WYSIWYG :) yes it takes longer, but much more control over my code, so no junk code, and then it's great fun to validate it on w3.org [20:05] sebsebseb: that's fine, but don't push your method down someone elses throat when they're clearly looking to use a different method. kthx :) [20:05] Gnea: Seamonkey makes sense though, browser, HTML editor, and that all in one [20:05] hollywoodb: I just noticed that when running synaptic and typing in the root password and then exiting and running wireshark as root it didn't require the root password. That means that the same terminal session executed them as well and if I ran another graphical program from the menu that would be vulnerable to a sudo command from shellcode? [20:06] TwistedGhost: what video card? [20:06] acerone, my wifi card stopped working ...after the kernel 2.6.27-13 and everything looked right in 8.10 but didn't work, so I reinstalled and just updated to 2.6.27-11 [20:06] radeon 9 something series [20:06] Free0ne: sudo is on a time delay [20:06] LordFDisk: what did you reinstall? the whole os? [20:06] Free0ne: It's cached [20:07] Free0ne: your sudo password is cached for 10(15?) minutes by default. I believe terminals have a different cache (each one, which means GUI is separate) [20:07] acerone, yep [20:07] TwistedGhost: okay, you should check the ATI page and make sure you're lining the correct driver up with the correct card, as there are a few different ATI drivers [20:07] acerone: if you followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne you'll need to do the make; sudo make install; sudo modprobe ath_pci every time you do a kernel update [20:07] !ATI | TwistedGhost [20:07] TwistedGhost: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:07] dont type sudo rm / -rf :D:D [20:07] !danger [20:07] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [20:08] hollywoodb: ok, Ill try that, and see if that fixes my problem [20:08] dos that even work? [20:08] Yes it does [20:08] hmm [20:08] let me see [20:08] alright thanks [20:08] Free0ne: running a GUI app with root priviledges in Gnome is different from using sudo in a terminal. Think of each terminal session as a new login, but you only logged into Gnome once, so it is like launching them from the same term [20:08] oh it does [20:08] Free0ne: If it didn't use that behavior, you would be getting nag screens quite often [20:08] bruenig: not on ubuntu [20:08] hi all, when i quit from a game the sound doesnot function in my system(unless i restart the system) [20:08] Flannel: does ubuntu not to --no-preserve-root stuff? [20:08] Free0ne: You can manually kill cache though, if you want. [20:08] not do* [20:09] using hp pavilian dv5 [20:09] bruenig: Depends on your version. And that's still not a reason to play with said command. [20:09] Flannel: right, just curious [20:09] on a side note how do I purge the apt-cache? (to free up space on a 16gb ssd) [20:09] Flannel: remove root something? the command? [20:09] seems like the sort of thing ubuntu would be on top of === vampirefrog_ is now known as vampirefrog [20:09] bruenig: I believe Hardy and Intrepid have it enabled by default [20:10] so how to restart sound? [20:10] acerone: apt-get clean --purge [20:10] acerone, sudo apt-get clean [20:10] danke [20:10] musikgoat|main: sudo apt-get purge program [20:11] sebsebseb: thats not what he asked [20:12] hello everyone [20:12] hi. I have some problem with java on ubuntu 8.10. am trying to install Zend Studio For Eclipse and I always got this error : exec: 2481: /tmp/install.dir.10313/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: not found anyone have an idea why? [20:12] ok i just had a very close call with complete meltdown of my 8.10, I somehow got very lucky and it just worked itself out, I *DONT* want to go through that again, so how easy could I make my /home on a seperate partition? [20:12] I have 64bit version [20:13] !separatehome | eseven73 [20:13] eseven73: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [20:13] Flannel: ok ill try that thanks [20:13] eseven73: if you can "create" some empty disk space to put a home partition on it's not very hard to set it up === anyone is now known as Guest90603 [20:14] why the hell does pulseaudio on kubuntu give segmentation fault trying to run the daemon [20:14] slart idealy I'd like to have /home on my external USB hdd, because it's on a very small hdd rigth now (30 gigs) and the external is 300 gigs [20:15] hollywoodb: dang, it. it still doesnt work right [20:16] eseven73: oh... not entirely sure if you can do that.. it depends on when usb discs are mounted.. if they are mounted (or can be set to mount) when the computer boots and not when the user logs in I guess it would be ok.. the problem is I think usb drives are mounted after the user logs in.. [20:16] As a long KDE user, I have decided to try gnome. I am trying to figure out a good media player. suggestions.

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [20:16] acerone: can you `modprobe ath_pci` without any errors? [20:16] matt: vlc is _a_ media player.. [20:16] slart yeah that's what i was fearing [20:16] hollywoodb: yes, [20:16] hollywoodb: and thats why Im so confused, it seems to working, but its nto [20:17] what modules are listed by `sudo lsmod | grep ath` ? [20:17] Slart: Let me rephrase that, audio jukebox. [20:17] eseven73: Couldn't you just repatition the external HDD, cp your home directory over, then clear out your home directory and symlink it the the external HDD partition? [20:17] hollywoodb: ath_rate_sample;ath_pci;wlan;ath_hal [20:17] i can't get to my hdd when using the live usb. i always get an erro,r saying that accoring to mtab /dev/sda2 is already mounted on /media/disk. then another erro puts up saying its uable to mount my hdd [20:17] ghone: why would i have to repartition the externall? It's already ext3 [20:17] acerone: OK, the new drivers are ath5k, so it looks fine to me. guess I'm stumped, i think it should be working [20:18] hollywoodb: should, and did. but idk [20:18] Hello, I'm trying to trouble shoot a small script I'm using to start from programs at boot. The script works fine from the terminal, but when run on boot it does not launch the window. In Sessions it shows the script as currently running. Any ideas? [20:18] eseven: beacues I am drunk and you are not so my logic is inherently superior. [20:18] matt: ahh.. my bad... well.. I use quod libet myself... but there are plenty.. audacious for just a simple music player.. amarok runs on gnome too if you want that.. [20:18] and when i try to look for my hdd in /media/disk, it doesn't show up [20:18] hollywoodb: which update is responsible for the ath5k driver? i may just reinstall and then blacklist that update [20:18] ghone: hehe :) [20:18] hollywoodb: or else just carefully go through every update [20:19] Slart: Don't know if I like the idea of kde and gnome.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [20:19] hi [20:19] acerone: I believe ath5k is included in the kernel, i.e. not a separate package, but I don't really know a lot about ath5k [20:19] matt: I think it worked quite nicely the last time I tried it.. but it's your decision [20:19] Dosha: hi [20:20] ciao [20:20] how do I make ubuntu automatically update the time for daylight savings time?

[21:07] but i couldnt read the mdb untel now [21:07] hydrogen18: what does active device mean? [21:07] FFEMT, it takes the signal in and regenerates two copies from the source [21:08] ok hydrogen18 do i need anything special or just the splitter? [21:08] Gartral -> well you have to read up on udev, rules are usually put in /etc/udev/rules.d/ look among those scripts where the rule specific to your device is [21:08] the appropriate cables, one cheap place for stuff like you want is www.monoprice.net [21:08] hydrogen18 if my video card has two outs, i should be able to turn that into 4 monitors correct? [21:09] hey, since intrepid the xorg.conf is nearly empty. so how would i find out which driver is used for graphics on the system? [21:09] Theoretically, but that is highly dependent on the video cards abilities [21:10] sanjud: my device isn't going to be listed, we haven't written any defaults for sansa devices, (Rockboxed, i should add) and also, _ONLY_ fspot says it's an e280, it's really an e250 [21:10] <[T]ank> or maybe just recommend a good usb bluetooth adapter and I will play with the jawbone hands free [21:10] please can someone help me I cant install a driver. to my network, I do something wrong..

[21:22] I know the problem is coming from windows but I can't seem to fix it. I have completely opened up my sharing and I ams still getting the same problem. [21:23] thats very funny, as i have no sansa devices at all where you told me too look [21:23] @ sanjud [21:23] hey, is there a software on ubuntu to convert a string to an md5 hash? [21:23] zash, http://www.pastebin.ca/1356104 [21:24] Gartral -> system is not perfect, it detected something that is akin to what a sansa device is? so it applied a rule pertaining to sansa [21:24] if I order a cd from shipit, how up to date is it in terms of patches? [21:24] zash, mac still no likey [21:25] Gartral -> thats why i suggested you create your own rule to supercede what the system detects it as, so your rule will prioritize over the default [21:25] well, its mostly right, but there are no entries _AT ALL_ in /ect/udev/rules.d for anything sansa [21:25] DrHalan: yes, "md5sum -", then type the string, finish with d [21:26] Gartral-> it uses regexp so you may not have spotted it easily, but am sure there are rules there, not easy to digest really.. [21:26] Anybody know of any media converters that can convert from RM/RMVB to other formats? [21:27] Gartral-> again, create your own rule for your specific device and put it at highest priority or lowest number in the /etc/udev/rules.d [21:27] sanjud: ok, your partially right, now it tries to open f-spot, and nautilus... [21:27] Later guys [21:28] Gartral-> i know am right :P...i've been struggling to understand udev rules..lol [21:29] HOLA [21:29] ok, reverting that and starting at step one, this thing is annoying me to no end, if i seem "testy" thats why [21:29] is in ubuntu or in evince a file in which is registered the history of opened files? === genii_ is now known as genii [21:30] is there?

I'll have to tell him his ops are a bit on the testy side. === Dank is now known as dank2 [21:47] FernandoF: there's way to use hotmail from evolution too (apt-cache search hotmail), but i suspect it's easier with thunderbird. [21:47] FernandoF: The only thing I can think of is that it's a hotmail issue. Try turning javascript off? Uh, try the user agent switcher? I'm not sure. [21:48] Yeah, there's scrapers for using hotmail with a real mail client. [21:48] Flannel and rogue780 i used to have problems under hotmail which were I was not able to write as text box was blocked for writing ...after a hard fight i have now the possibility to write, but after sending , text is empy. And it is empty even if i simply forward and do not write [21:49] Anybody know how to make iptables list the port NUMBERS instead of the name? (80 instead of www), etc? [21:50] FernandoF: Unfortunately, that sounds like a hotmail problem (with their html or whatever) [21:50] Huufarted: sure, -n [21:50] Huufarted: read man iptables, but I guess its -n [21:50] is it possible to get dialogs for an app to open in the same workspace as that app? Instead of always workspace 1? [21:50] LjL, thanks. :) [21:50] Is there a reason I cannot chown to a different user other than root with the folder I created to mount my flash drive to?? [21:50] iptables -Ln [21:50] !repeat | brandon_thomson [21:50] brandon_thomson: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [21:50] wow I'm retarded [21:51] anyone know anything about the following error in dmesg : "powernow-k8: failing targ, change pending bit set" [21:51] !offend | Huufarted [21:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about offend [21:51] bruce89: erm, bruce89 hasn't said anything in almost an hour. [21:51] er, brandon_thomson [21:51] bruce89, it's going to be pretty hard for me to offend myself. [21:52] true [21:52] I just like getting the bots involved [21:52] I've downloaded an iso of windows2000 server. it's 1.8 GB. i need to burn the iso, what's the best way to go about it ? [21:52] bruce89: Please don't abuse the bots, or the rest of the people in this channel.

Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [21:52] Flannel: charming [21:53] just wondering if there is a way to force an application to start on bootup (sort of like in windows how you could place the app in the startup folder)...any help would be appreciated Thanks [21:53] bruce89, i just get insufficient media space whenever i try to do it [21:53] k3b is amazing, sama as amarok! [21:53] you'll need to use a DVD [21:53] m3gaman: depends. /etc/rc.local is for things that start on boot (non-GUI), your desktop environment (Gnome) handles things that start when you log in [21:53] !startup > m3gaman [21:53] m3gaman, please see my private message [21:54] awesome, thanks for the help guys [21:54] Is there a reason I cannot chown to a different user other than root with the folder I created to mount my flash drive to?? [21:55] RoastedTiresX, UID/GID of mounted directories are typiclly controlled by mount options, not chown/chgrp [21:56] sprinkmeier - Then I don't see what the difference is. I did that to my 3 sata backup drives. Yet I can't do it to my flash drive. [21:56] In firefox, or system-wide, how can I redirect all requests for http://foo.com:88 to http://foo.com:80 ? [21:56] babo, sounds like you got something else...1,8gig for windows ? even the 3 in 1 win2000 pro/server/advanced wasnt that big [21:56] hello. I'd like to ask something. can I? [21:56] sparr, transparent proxy? [21:56] grrah fucking gnome xchat auto-connect shit [21:57] sprinkmeier_: last resort [21:57] albatr0ss: yes, ask a detailed question, all in one line, and somebody might help [21:57] !ohmy | ubuntu_ [21:57] ubuntu_: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [21:57] how do you get alt-sysrq to work in X? It seems X maps the keyboard in some way that disables it. [21:57] I replaced my swap partition with a swapfile. how do I find its UUID? [21:57] so I can add it to fstab [21:58] sparr, iptables? it'll trigger on IP address rather than hostname, but it might work [21:58] albatr0ss: sudo blkid [21:58] thanks. [21:58] sprinkmeier_: ok, could do that. not sure how to change ports, though [21:58] does ubuntu 8.10 use the 'upstart' version of init? [21:59] anyone know of a good way to check what is bogging down my network? [21:59] sprinkmeier - how can I take ownership of my mounted flash drive then? I've do ne it with my SATA drives so I know it's possible. [21:59] ls -l [21:59] prince_jammys: blkid works on a file too? [21:59] oops [21:59] woops [21:59] sparr, been a while since I've done such mangling... IIRC you need the POSTROUTING table. [21:59] Actually, I did type not [22:00] but whatever [22:00] so will CNR be in upcoming ubuntu releases? A friend says it will be... and I doubt him, some clarification? [22:00] RoastedTiresX, How did it get mounted? if >1 users are logged on then sometimes there's a race-condition and one of the other users will 'own' it. [22:00] guntbert: no, missed that part. [22:00] hi folks can anyone tell me how to get my laptop screen to come on again? it juust went black after signing off [22:00] !ot | chris4585 [22:00] chris4585: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:00] chris4585: No. As far as I'm aware that whole deal fizzled out. [22:00] sprinkmeier - It was auto-mounted to "disk" or something like that, so I unmounted it by sudo umount. Then I tried to remount it to the directory I chose for it. I'm just trying to conduct a simple test - I don't need it to mount here automatically in the future. [22:00] chris4585: I sincerly hope not [22:01] chris4585, #ubuntu+1 is a good channel to ask aswell [22:01] only for Jaunty though [22:01] thanks Flannel [22:01] billybigrigger, chris4585: not really. This channel works, or #ubuntu-offtopic [22:02] RoastedTiresX, file-system o the disk? If it's FAT/NTFS then you need to pass UID/GID options on the mount-command. If it's ext2 (or something else UNIX-y) then I usually just create a directory on the disk, chown it to me and then all is well. [22:02] which procam can convert videos for my cell phone? [22:02] ups, program [22:02] <_Whipper__> vcl [22:02] Ubuntu has gcc 4.3.1-1 installed. Would it be easy to add version 4.1.2 on my system as well? If not, what about to replace 4.3.1-1 with 4.1.2? [22:02] <_Whipper__> clv [22:02] <_Whipper__> dmn :) [22:02] suggestion a different channel for something thats very much on topic is a little annoying :p [22:02] VLC? [22:02] what does UPS have to do with your cell phone? [22:03] tom760: why do you need gcc 4.1? [22:03] <_Whipper__> jep [22:03] sprinkmeier - Bingo. It's FAT32 on the flash drive and my SATA drives are EXT3. [22:03] I'm having trouble getting my wireless card to work, I'm using ndsiwrapper and everything went fine it installed fine the device is present it shows up in network tools and ifconfig says it is up and running but i still can't connect to my router. I tried manually i tried it on automatic it seems to see it but nothing is happening any one can help me?? thnaks [22:03] ok, tnx :) [22:03] sprinkmeier - How woul dI go about that? Basically I want to chagne the mounted permissions of my FAT32 flash drive to be owned by someone other than root. [22:03] i have ubuntu 8.10 installed. I want to run kde4.2. Should i reinstall to kubuntu 8.10 or is it practically the same to just install kde4.2 on the current installation? Can I still run all the programs like normal or what will happen? [22:04] <_Whipper__> crx6: many possibilities there.. [22:04] crx what kind of card i had to get my verizon to work on here [22:04] I'm having an issue with samba. I just setup ubuntu 8.10 server to be a file server on my home network. I now have it configured to allow access to a share without entering password or username on any of my windows boxes, but my mac mini with mac os x 10.4.11 asks for authentication and then won't connect. my smb.conf is at http://www.pastebin.ca/1356104 can anyone help? [22:04] gabbah, yes you can install kde [22:04] gabbah, everything will work fine [22:04] bruce89: another Linux PC, which I don't want to change, is running 4.1.2 and I want to try distcc with it and my Ubuntu desktop. It seems like a good learning experience to. Soon I want to read up on the different GCC versions and maybe I'll swap the other PC to a newer one. [22:04] billybigrigger, but if i install kubuntu, doesn't in have different apps? [22:04] gabbah, when you get to the login screen you can change you session to either gnome or kde [22:04] gabbah, somewhat [22:05] gabbah, if your not ever going to use gnome again, you could reinstall kubuntu [22:05] tom760: there is little difference between gcc versions [22:05] billybigrigger, and are the apps bound to gnome or kde? [22:05] gabbah, but having them both co-exist is perfectly fine too [22:05] tom760: as long as you write standard C [22:05] gabbah, no afaik you can use kde apps in gnome and gnome apps in kde, someone correct me if im wrong [22:06] where can I find help with wi-fi drivers? [22:06] pbeanbag: its a linksys wireless card wpc54g ver 3 for PMICA [22:06] !wireless [22:06] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:06] gabbah, for example i use k3b (kde burning app) in gnome no probs, but thats about the only kde app i've tried [22:06] billybigrigger, the only con is that it will take up some more space to have gnome installed also.... no differance in performance right? [22:06] bruce89: actually I just realized it wont work the way I was thinking. One PC is running amd64, other is i686. I guess I need a cross compiler [22:06] ok [22:06] ill try that thanks [22:06] gabbah, correct [22:07] gabbah, but you will have both gnome and kde install so of course your taking up more room [22:07] tom760: AFAIK gcc can cross-compile between i386 and AMD64, can't remember how though [22:07] yeah, but they're not loaded at the same time right [22:07] I upgraded to intrepid and now I keep getting logged out. I reconfigured X but it didn't fix it [22:07] RoastedTiresX, NMI, back now. [22:07] bruce89: Oh ya? Cool, I'll give that a try. [22:07] when does 9.04 get released as full release? [22:08] billybigrigger, hmm but think i remember that if u want to run a kde app in gnome, you must install some kde libs as well.. and performance wouldn't be as good [22:08] tom760: see multilib [22:08] failers: The end of a [22:08] failers: April [22:08] crx my buddy got my verizon card to work by using a sprint driver try their website i dunno jack but just thought id let you know [22:08] ok [22:08] RoastedTiresX, from mount manpage, use the uid= and gid= parameters to the mount command. [22:08] tom760: but it's probably easier to just compile stuff on each individually [22:08] sprinkmeier - how do I find UID and GID? In users and groups? [22:09] billybigrigger, one more question. do u know what the differance is between the kubuntu download that is a cd 700 mb, and the dvd that is 3,2 gigs? (via bittorrent) [22:09] Bruce: ok, thanks. ya, but i've never used distcc, so that will be fun to try. [22:09] RoastedTiresX, run "id" [22:09] RoastedTiresX, then something like "mount -o uid=xxx,gid=yyy /dev/sd?? /mnt/whatever" [22:10] gabbah, just more packages on the dvd, use that if you have poopy internet connection, if you have fast internet, just get the iso and install whatever packages you need from apt [22:10] gabbah: The DVD has the Desktop CD and Alternate CD boot options as options. Then the DVD also has more packages. [22:10] Flannel, good to know [22:10] how do I get ubuntu to see my wi-fi card? [22:10] Flannel, that must be a kubuntu only thing eh? combining desk and alt cd's? [22:10] gabbah: by Desktop and Alternate, I mean it has a LiveCD and a text mode installer as boot options. [22:11] billybigrigger: No, the Ubuntu DVD has the same [22:11] billybigrigger, Flannel hehe well i have 30Mbit connection so that's not a problem... the thing is i'm out of cds and have only dvds to burn on. can u burn a cd image on a dvd? :P [22:11] gabbah, also consider doing the initial install w/o internet connection. If the 'net is connected then the installer will try to download and apply patches during install. [22:11] guys I have a question about mailing lists [22:11] gabbah: You can. [22:11] gabbah, yes you can burn a cd image on dvd [22:11] Flannel, ah, live cd is actually good [22:11] oh cool [22:11] Zeldarock: mailing lists for what? [22:11] thanks, sprinkmeier! [22:11] ubuntu [22:11] thanks guys [22:11] gwtl, you should use ndisgtk utility, which forces Windows Wireless card drivers [22:12] I dont have a .ini driver file [22:12] only a exe [22:12] Hello, When I try to open a MP3 file with Totem> "Movie Player" the player opens, but closes right away after. [22:12] download it [22:12] why does intrepid keep logging me out? I already reconfigured X. [22:12] !tab | tom760 [22:12] tom760: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:12] they need a driver INF file [22:12] the only thing I find is a linux driver [22:12] wich [22:12] Datz1, you could open a terminal and try totem file.mp3 and see what error it spits out [22:12] is supposedly allready in the 2.6 kernel [22:13] whats your cards name gwtl [22:13] ? [22:13] canyon CH-WF518 [22:13] hi.. anyone knows how I can get a ati radeon hd3450 gfx card up and running with 2 monitors on ubuntu 8.10 ? :) [22:13] billybigrigger: thanks I will try it [22:13] After updating firefox, it seems to freeze when I go to i.e youtube.. anyone else experience that ? [22:14] From what I've read, it seems that the Ubntu-devel list is the list for alpha beta distros for ubuntu, is that right? [22:14] Milligan: sounds like a flash player issue [22:14] gwtl, maybe is a way to extract exe file contents [22:14] bruce89: Ya, sorry, wasn't paying attention. I defaulted to first auto-completion nick I guess. "Bruce" is another user in this chan to. [22:14] LSD200, Milligan does it happen when you visit other non-flash sites? [22:14] crx mine was installed as a telephone not a wireless card we had to put in phone no and get a password from vendor then when it said connection cancelled we went to file and unchrcked work offline try that [22:15] tom760: ah [22:15] Zeldarock: Its for development discussions. What sort of list are you looking for? [22:15] LSD200, Milligan or just youtube? [22:15] well, there's supposed to allready be a driver in the kernel, [22:15] but [22:15] I don't know how to use it [22:15] a list that will inform me of alpha/beta releases and link me to them [22:15] gwtl, check out this site at ubuntu, and use it with your xp driver you got from canyon websit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [22:15] (I tried extracting the exe) [22:15] can anyone tell me how to get my laptop screen to come back on it is too dull to read [22:15] ok [22:15] thanks [22:15] do you foun INF file? [22:16] I'll try that [22:16] no [22:16] Zeldarock: you're looking for u-d-a: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-announce [22:16] on linux you cant extract the exe, it must be a dll you need or something like that, if you want to get that you need a windows box or install wine with synaptic [22:16] Ok, let's try jumar's idea [22:16] billybigrigger, LSD200 , seems like flash sites,yeah. [22:17] ah [22:17] PBEANBAG: Mines a little different my computer can see the card but for some reason it doesnt want to connect or see any of my routers. I know my router works cause my other ubuntu machine is running off of wireless and it works but thanks for your help [22:17] Milligan, ya then LSD200 is right, sounds like a flashplayer problem, this just started happening after a firefox update? [22:17] open the exe with wine [22:17] just normally? [22:17] (just run it?) [22:17] !info unshield [22:17] unshield (source: unshield): extracts CAB files from InstallShield installers. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1-1 (intrepid), package size 10 kB, installed size 68 kB [22:17] Milligan, what version of ff and flash? and what version of ubuntu? 32bit? 64bit? [22:17] or should I try extracting it? [22:17] Whenever I load Ubuntu, it freezes up, it lets me sign in after a long wait, then another long wait and it gets stuck on a black screen with a loading cursor [22:18] yes, its a normal windows installation that goes through and afterwards you have to find the right file, as on the site i mentioned [22:18] hi, i have an ssh question. i normally do "ssh james@192.168.1.101" to tap into my pc from my laptop (when at home). I'm not sure, but can I call it by hostname instead of ip address? I tried "ssh james@jamesdellpc", but it said "ssh: Could not resolve hostname jamesdellpc: Name or service not known" [22:18] #ubuntu-ps3 [22:18] hi all - i have a corrupt usb hdd that i need to try and recover. does anybody know how i can mount a usb drive in readonly mode? [22:18] crx i know this sounds dumb but is your y fi off? [22:18] gwtl, you cant extract exe on linux [22:18] sexcopter, you have to add your pc into /etc/hosts [22:18] gwtl, write this comand in to a terminal without quotes "sudo lshw -c network" [22:18] sexcopter, so like 192.168.1.101 james [22:19] billybigrigger: ahh... so it looks up hostnames and resolve like that... ok thanks! [22:19] okay, what does it do? [22:19] sexcopter, open up a terminal, then sudo nano /etc/hosts and then add that line in there [22:19] If I have a ubuntu system installed and I want to install XP dual boot, what is the easiest way to boot my ubuntu and recreate the bootloader after XP install clobbers it? [22:19] sexcopter, then ctrl-o to save the file and ctrl-x to close nano [22:19] it shows your network hardware [22:19] !mbr [22:19] 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 [22:19] sexcopter, no problem [22:19] :s [22:20] blocky: See bot's links above on the subject [22:20] billybigrigger: ok, thanks. i can do that. my only concern now is that i need to ensure static ip addresses for that to work, and last time i tried, there was some silly bug with network-manager that made this impossible with a wired connection.... =/ [22:20] ah, interresting [22:20] billybigrigger, ubuntu 8.10 32 bit. FF 3.0.7 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009030422 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.7. Flashplayer 10. [22:20] Whenever I load Ubuntu, it freezes up, it lets me sign in after a long wait, then another long wait and it gets stuck on a black screen with a loading cursor, then I have to reboot windows in "Last known configuration that worked" [22:20] Is it possible to upload photos from FSpot to blogger? [22:20] zulixp: it seems wlan might just be active [22:20] *-network:1 [22:20] neurobuntu: yes [22:20] description: Wireless interface [22:20] sexcopter, how about through your router? and have the router assign static ips through MAC address?

[22:21] hehe, seems I pasted too much [22:21] :s [22:21] neurobuntu: File>Export [22:21] billybigrigger: alas, no. i have a linksys router and as i understand it, they're one of the few left that don't support ip by mac address. grrrr. [22:22] Whenever I load Ubuntu, it freezes up, it lets me sign in after a long wait, then another long wait and it gets stuck on a black screen with a loading cursor, then I have to reboot windows in "Last known configuration that worked" THis is driving me crazy, can someone help me? [22:22] ifconfig shows active network connections [22:22] wlan seems active [22:22] but 0 packets [22:22] bruce89, so I don't see an export option for blogger just: Picasa Web, Flikr, Web Album ... no blogger [22:22] billybigrigger: though i have toyed with trying alternative firmware. i'm just a little edgy about doing that kind of stuff when it's not really broken. i think i'll just specify ip addresses for now until i can afford to replace a router if i brick it ;) [22:23] neurobuntu: blogger is picasa web [22:23] which tipe of network you're connected to the internet? [22:23] hi all [22:23] Brandon you are dual booting? [22:23] gwtl, for wifi connection, you gotta shut down first your cable [22:23] bruce89, blogger stores the pictures on a picasa webalbum but posting a picture to blogger is different then posting it to picasa [22:23] connection [22:23] i have a problem with nautilus: when i try to open a file it doesn't show my network folder, i can only open a file on my machine [22:23] sexcopter, hehe router's are cheap but ya i see where your comin from...wait till jaunty i guess then cause i have my wired machines static ip'd [22:23] why? [22:23] Yes I am Dual Booting [22:23] shouldn't it work with both on? [22:23] or just remove RJ-45 conncetor from your PC [22:23] bruce89, for example, when up upload to blogger it creates a new blog post which doesn't happen when you upload to picasa [22:23] for me only that works, its stupid, maybe its just my fault, anybody? [22:24] Using Wubi [22:24] neurobuntu: not really [22:24] anyone knows how can i make nautilus show the network folders too? [22:24] billybigrigger: really? i'll be very happy to see that resolved in jaunty! [22:24] the windows install works fine? [22:24] neurobuntu: well, there's no way to do what you're after [22:24] sexcopter, ya im running alpha 5 and it works for me [22:24] bruce89, so its not possible to post directly to blogger from fspot? [22:24] as far as I know one can have multiple connections at the same time [22:24] Yes the windows install works fine [22:24] neurobuntu: nope [22:25] billybigrigger: that's not quite true [22:25] gwtl, open Network tools under system>administration [22:25] pbeanbag you mean wireless or the router? what do you mean? there both on [22:25] try that, if it dont work you can always reconnect the cabel, also there's that small network icon of nm-applet, try left clicking it to see wether it sees any wifi [22:26] ok [22:26] have you ever had the wubi work fine? [22:26] No [22:26] i have [22:26] It installed fine [22:26] But when it rebooted, its having issues [22:26] wubi is v nice imho [22:26] Guest37352, yes, I have [22:26] It freezes before it loads [22:26] (is it because of my graphics card?) [22:27] BrandonB, you should remove compiz [22:27] Its not on :\ [22:27] I cant even get to the desktop yet [22:27] I am not sure how wubi works but from a quick glance on their website it seems to run under windows so it is not a dual boot. you should be able to see some errors in the windows even log.

[22:29] ehy half-way? [22:29] why, i mean [22:29] and then "sudo apt-get remove compiz" and "sudo apt-get remove compiz-core" [22:29] Ok [22:29] zulixp: You can just do sudo apt-get remove compiz compiz-core [22:29] Cant I run it like, low graphics mode?

They both use the same global settings. why does the non-symlink share work and the symlink not allow me write access? they both have 777 files, 775 folders and root ownership [22:37] sizzlefire: you probably need to add a boot option to the end of the relevant line in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but I wouldn't know which one [22:37] sizzlefire: e.g. acpi=off [22:38] does anybody know alot about networking and would like to help me? im a newbie to linux. [22:38] alright, how do i get to the boot options, I have the computer in front of me [22:38] Hayloe, what is your question [22:38] Totem actually doesn't play any files I open with it, it just closes right away. Can someone help me fix this? [22:38] sizzlefire: log into recovery mode and sudo vi /boot/grus/menu.lst [22:38] gnutron, that seemed to bring back into the same mount page without cifs specific instructions? [22:38] also, i tried putting in the livecd, and when i did that, it didnt help at all, it wouldnt even let me to a GUI interface, it just gave a bunch of errors [22:38] when I try to join the #ubuntu or #kubuntu rooms using mibbit.com, it joins #ubuntu-proxy-users room. what should I do? [22:39] well im trying to setup ICS to run my xbox 360 through my laptop, which is connected wirelessly, I searched google for like hours and did a bunch of different things that pretty much made me reinstall ubuntu because i messed it up so bad :P I just want to know what to do to get ICS working [22:39] <_Whipper__> sizzle: try a different live, like puppy or dsl.. [22:39] Hayloe, you need a reason for networking === lcng_bastl is now known as bAsTl [22:40] i tried fedora, damn small and linuxmint, it skipped all but linuxmint, and linuxmint wouldnt work also [22:40] Hayloe,nvrmnd [22:40] linuxmint gave the same errors as ubuntu live if i remember correctly [22:40] im on a fresh install of ubuntu, installing updates now, my connection to the internet is wlan0 and my ethernet, which my xbox is plugged into is eth0 [22:40] heya guys. I'm trying to setup a couple of livecd's (most of them, ubuntu) to boot off my pxe server. i found a howto, and i have it working well enough that i get the "knightrider" loading screen, but it appears to stall there. switching to tty1 shows that it's stuck at "Loading, please wait...." [22:40] <_Whipper__> sizzle: sounds like u have a Hardware prob.. [22:40] how do i get a full boot? [22:40] billybigrigger: did you see the pastebin? [22:41] sizzlefire: a common reason for that is boot options again, maybe vga [22:41] kk, im getting into the boot menu now [22:41] <_Whipper__> sizzle: check your bios too.. [22:42] what should i check in my bios? i did make sure that the CD was to boot before the harddrive, but other than that im not sure what to change [22:43] <_Whipper__> sizzle: dont change anything then, if u dont know [22:43] Can someone help me get totem "Movie Player" working? [22:43] so could anybody help with my dilemma? [22:43] if i could just completely wipe the harddrive and start again it would be nice, but im not sure how to get that [22:43] Whipper: I know enough to not mess anything up if you can tell me what to check for === edgex-_ is now known as EdgeX-[A] [22:43] let me rephrase, i am having trouble with this... i have a line in fstab that I would like to mount by running a mount command rather than using fstab, following is the fstab line, what is the equivalent mount command: //192.168.0.199/downloads /media/Diskstation cifs username=myusername,password=mypassword,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000 0 0 [22:44] how do i find this file in my system? r8188.h [22:44] <_Whipper__> sizzle: run puppy, or some other <100mg live, gpart [22:44] TaG^, "locate r8188.h" [22:44] Whipper: so i need to burn one of them to a CD and then use it? [22:44] ok.. thanks [22:45] is the ndiswrapper forums not working for anybody else? [22:45] <_Whipper__> sizzle: just google puppy or dsl, both have gparted and tools to wipe u clean :) [22:45] TaG^, that assumes that it's been indexed. If not (i.e. it's new, not on index path etc) use "find / -name r8188.h" or somesuch [22:45] * Datz1 removes totem because it seems buggy [22:45] Hi. I'm trying to mount my software (mdadm) raid partitions from the live cd. I've installed the mdadm package, but what is the magic incantation to have it find and mount all my raid partitions? (I seem to remember there is one.) [22:45] hey guys? [22:46] Whipper: i already have DSL on a dvd, but when I plug it in it doesnt do anything [22:46] i seem to be having trouble reading my rAID-0 drive [22:46] it tries to load it at first, then it just goes to grub, and then eventually ubuntu [22:46] <_Whipper__> sizzle: why on Earth u have dsl on DVD? ... [22:46] does kopete work with msn video? [22:46] u? [22:46] i dont have any CD's [22:47] anyone else have trouble using screencast software (xvidcap, recordmydesktop, etc.) with FGLRX? I want to use the fglrx driver so that Compiz will work... but then my computer locks up if I try to record a screencast. :( [22:47] here's my setup ->> 2*500GB in raid-0 running XP and 250gb drive with ubuntu on a 25 partition [22:47] <_Whipper__> o? [22:47] i can see everything on the 250 [22:47] Whipper: should still work, correct? [22:47] but the raid setup does not appear at all [22:47] <|kush|> sup, when I sign on to ubuntu, I cannot login with any username / password, but I can restart go in recovery and go into root [22:48] <_Whipper__> sizzle: yep, but it seems u fucked up the burn.. [22:48] <|kush|> I changed the password for root, but it still wouldnt let me login [22:48] <|kush|> =/ [22:48] stealth- video works but no sound [22:48] can i somehow re calibrate the volume controlle because at 67% its dead silent and at 80% its to loud and at 90% its maxed [22:48] i can check md5, but im not sure how [22:48] kavurt: k, thanks [22:48] how can I connect my web cam to ubuntu? it says there is cam device [22:48] keystr0k, i can record but its painfully slow that its not worth it [22:48] how do i make totem player launch with keyboard shortcuts? instead of using mouse? [22:48] <_Whipper__> sizzle: dont, just reload, its only what, 50megs [22:49] deany, arg. without fglrx it records as expected... [22:49] :s [22:49] I dont know how people on youtube have such smooth recordings.. its not like my pc is crap [22:49] is there a way to use compiz without installing fglrx ? [22:49] I have graphis card laying around [22:49] ok i will have it done in a minute, Whipper will you still be around? [22:49] deany, Yeah... I get great recordings using xvidcap without fglrx [22:50] How can I connect my web cam to ubuntu === computer_ is now known as Nytrix_ [22:50] sylonely, try Cheese.

[22:50] how do i make totem plaer to be the default player? [22:51] player* [22:51] <_Whipper__> sprink: if dude has 50megs in a dvd, i'd rather not md5sum that.. [22:51] <_Whipper__> > [22:52] i know i can do this in synaptic, but out of interest, can i list installed files of a package using command line? I'm thinking something with apt-cache... [22:52] _Whipper__, it'll only MD5sum the 50m [22:52] I have a phone and when I plug it in to usb it won't get a /dev/ttyACM# path. How do I give it one?

[22:52] dfh [22:52] sylonely, or you could use Streamer [22:52] tsrk, what does "lsusb" say? google for the product/vendor ID to see if it's supported. [22:53] sylonely, and, naturally, there are other programs to connect to your webcam [22:53] <|kush|> can anyone help me out or not? [22:53] sprinkmeier_, it says Bus 001 Device 034: ID 22b8:2a63 Motorola PCS MSM6500 chipset flash === skel_ is now known as skel [22:53] <|kush|> i'm sure its really simple [22:53] <|kush|> i'm just new to linux [22:53] what's the product and vendor id? [22:53] where can i find sysctl.conf? [22:54] Hayloe: /etc [22:54] Quick question, how do I drag an existing folder into usr/local/bin? is there a control button i can use when dragging to give it root permissions? [22:54] tsrk, OK... first task is to see if that's supported 'out fo the box' or if you have to udev-magic it or something. GIFY, or use the HCL (hardware compatibility list) [22:54] |kush|: How are you trying to login as root? su or sudo? [22:54] i did a sudo gedit /ect/sysctl.conf but only a blank page came up [22:54] is that normal? [22:54] |kush|: i just read your quesiton. you know that root account is diabled by default with ubuntu, have you tampered with anything root like since installing? [22:54] <|kush|> Free0ne I can login as root if I use the restore [22:54] How come O can delete this file? /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187.ko? [22:54] can't [22:54] Hayloe: /etc/sysctl.conf not /ect/sysctl.conf [22:54] <|kush|> but other then that I cannot login as any user at the login screen [22:54] Hayloe, the 'locate' command works great for finding stuff like that. [22:54] risingfish, best to do stuff like that on the commandline [22:54] sprinkmeier_, it doesn't "automatically" get a /dev/ttyAMC so does that mean i have to use udev-magic? [22:55] <|kush|> I tried to 'adduser' but I dont think I did it right [22:55] <|kush|> :x [22:55] <|kush|> idk [22:55] Hayloe, locate sysctl.conf [22:55] How come I can't delete this file? /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8187.ko? [22:55] |kush|: are you in ubuntu right now? [22:55] tsrk, add a rule in /etc/udev.d/..... to say "when you see this device (by product/vendor ID) load this module and assign it this /dev/XXX name [22:55] <|kush|> no i'm on windows [22:55] TaG^: why do you want to delete it? [22:56] <|kush|> i am dual booting [22:56] I have 4 shares all using the same global settings. 1 share is just a folder, 3 of the shares are symlinks to files on a second harddrive. the normal folder allows read/write fine BUT the symlinks will not allow write [22:56] lstarnes cause it's not wrking right... [22:56] Hey all [22:56] TaG^: in what way is it not working? [22:56] |kush|: ok, so do you know what you might have done to get into this muddle? Or have you never been able ot log in? [22:56] I tried cheese but it said that there was no media device [22:56] sprinkmeier_, ok, thanks [22:56] sylonely, hmm. [22:56] tsrk, see "http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~thomas-sprinkmeier/%2Bjunk/remote/annotate/head%3A/etc/udev/rules.d//09-local.rules" [22:57] <|kush|> sexcopter I think I just need to login as root and add a user correctly [22:57] Question: Sometimes the top bar of my windows in ubuntu become blank. How can I fix that? [22:57] sprinkmeier: so there's isn't a way to do that? with all due respect to ubuntu, it seems like a fairly simple task that is best done using the gui. it seems like forcing that back into the command line is a step backwards. [22:57] I think the ubuntu dont have its driver [22:57] course I'm also sort of lazy, so that might be a big part of it too [22:58] :) [22:58] |kush|: that wasn't what I asked, but yes, if you could add a user, make that user a sudoer and copy your stuff across, you should be ok... i think [22:58] lstarnes it goes off and on ... [22:58] |kush|: ever used a command line? [22:58] sylonely, mine is integrated... works out of the box. [22:58] <|kush|> sexcopter yeah I have used shell before [22:58] sprinkmeier_, ok, thanks [22:58] <|kush|> but just run bnc and eggdrop [22:58] wow thanks guys im dislexic apparently -.- [22:58] risingfish, the command-line is _NOT_ a step backwards. Yes, you can start nautilus as root or various other things, but sometimes going to the bare metal and doing exactly what you want, not what some GUI thinks you want, is the best idea. just my $0.02, full refund if not completely satisfied! [22:58] sylonely, mine is at /dev/video0 [22:58] What happened with firefox, after I did the ibex update, it screwed up my windowing. firefox overrides gnome panel/metacity, how do I fix this? [22:59] TaG^: instead of deleting the module, it may be safer to just blacklist it [22:59] I can't do anything with firefox, I can't resize it. [22:59] I can only minimize it. [22:59] |kush|: ok, there's probably a "proper" way to do this, but simply doing "ls /home" should tell you what user accounts exist. [22:59] But all other windows work fine. [22:59] <|kush|> sexcopter but then if there is an account, how can I get that password? [22:59] i need help getting my ubuntu hardy installer past the squashfs stage of loading the livecd. I'm loading the cd via my pxe server, because the machine in question has no CD drive, and is a lappy [22:59] removed junky fglrx... b r b [22:59] my camera name is rexpo [23:00] lstarnes how u do that? [23:00] I'm having problems with ssh tunnel/proxy: i'm connecting via "ssh -D port remotehost" to my server and like to transfer files via ftp using the tunnel, but the tranfered files are mostly corrupted. is there a way to fix this issue? (Ubuntu 8.10, all updates installed) [23:01] |kush|: i don't know of a way to recover a password (but it may be possible), but you could add a new user, copy stuff over and delete the previous user. [23:01] anyoen got any ideas on the partitions? [23:01] tim__b, try changing ftp mode to binary [23:01] TaG^: first of all, do you have another driver in use for connecting to the internet? if not, then you should probably keep this module [23:01] lstarnes yes I do.. [23:02] tim__b, ssh should be end-to-end encrypted, authenticated and verified. If you're getting corrupted files then something is badly wrong with ssh [23:02] ubersoldat i'm already transfering using BINARY [23:02] hä [23:02] tim_b then try with ASCII :) [23:02] TaG^: try temporarily disabling it with sudo modprobe -r rtl8187 [23:02] in my /dev directory there isnt video [23:02] sprinkmeier: No need for a refund, I'm open to all ideas. I'm just more partial to my own. :) [23:02] tim__b, try scp instead of ftp? [23:02] TaG^: if that works, you can use the instructions in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166624 to blacklist it [23:03] tim_b that's an option too [23:03] <|kush|> so what is the correct way to 'adduser' [23:03] why use ubuntu for server, and not debian straight? [23:03] risingfish, fair enough. I just figure that putting things in /bin is the package managers job, and if you're trying that hard to break things then you'd better know what you're doing and using the CLI shouldn't be a problem :-) [23:03] <|kush|> any flags I should use? [23:03] why not ubuntu supports sever [23:03] be different [23:04] |kush|: flags? perhaps read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto [23:04] wonderwal, you can always get support from canonical if you need to [23:04] |kush|, if you're running ubuntu then I'd recommend using the GUI tool (system->Administration->Users and GRoups). It sets up all the secondary groups for you etc. [23:04] #ubuntu.it [23:04] sprinkmeier_ the server is ftp (which i connect to through the proxy/ssh tunnel), can't change the system behind it, as i have no shell account. [23:04] ubersoldat: even when apt-get is broken? [23:05] tim__b, I was afraid of that.... does FTP work without the ssh tunnel magic? [23:05] whats the name of that usb boot key creator. ie it's on synaptic...... It can make USB boot from ISO files. BUT I CANT FIND IT! [23:05] wonderwal, hmmm... so apt is broken... that's a big affirmation [23:05] If i am havng many packages as .deb iin a folder and then is there any way to install all of them as a whokle in a single command along with dependancies? [23:05] sprinkmeier_ yes, it does. no damaged files, etc. [23:06] ubersoldat: not really.. just asking [23:06] statement [23:06] tim__b, given that corruption == potential security breach I find it strange that ssh tunnel should corrupt things. Can you FTP from the machine you're ssh-ing to, then scp? [23:07] Anyone know name of USB boot creator? [23:08] sprinkmeier_ are you meaning to copy the file in a first step to the ssh tunnel machine and then ftp it to the ftp server? [23:08] wonderwal, it all depends on what you want. That's all. Debian is usually more stable since Ubuntu is based on Debian's unstable versions [23:08] tim__b, yes. [23:09] Can someone help me with a corrupt login (user/pass are correct)? [23:09] sprinkmeier: I total agree that it should be a package managers job, but as it with so much OS software, it won't come in. I down loaded the 64b version of blender to play with it and it doesn't come with a package installer. In cases like this the lazy part of me just wants to be able to drag it into /usr/local/bin and throw a shortcut int he applications menu. I know I could sudo mv it, but I don;t want to have to open up a terminal w [23:09] tim__b, (OK, I though you were downloading form the FTP server, not uploading, so I got the order wrong) [23:09] sprinkmeier_, i'll give it a try and check if the file is fine that way [23:09] risingfish, does blender come with "make install"? [23:09] btw, sprinkmeier_, haven't had problems with downloaded files. [23:10] risingfish, (ignore that... I was assuming source build :-) [23:10] tim__b, So the same tunnels work for download but not upload? (if this wasn't a family friendly channel I'd be swearing now) [23:10] What kinda specs in a system would I need to display 1080p graphics. I want to build a basic "media computer" so I need HDMI but is the video output mostly dependent on the video card or the CPU? [23:11] I can't use the internet for web browsing. [23:11] I can ping google.com [23:11] slide, Video card [23:11] But I cannot view webpages. [23:11] seems so, sprinkmeier_ . i tested some files and there were fine. as some of my uploaded files were fine to. but some need like 10 uploads to get it on the server without corruption [23:12] kolby, can you ping any other web site? [23:12] yes. [23:12] anyone here know how to get rid of gdesklets entries from bottom taskbar. [23:13] kolby, try this: $telnet www.somewebsite.com 80 [23:13] okay [23:13] tim__b, I've _NEVER_ seen ssh tunnels behave like that. They either work _perfectly_ or they die, it's the only way to ensure security. I'd be looking at the FTP transfer, disks, RAM... === timburke|laptop is now known as timburke [23:14] maybe i also should try a diffrent ftp client, sprinkmeier_. maybe there's the problem [23:14] kolby, if/when you get to a prompt/blank line type "GET" and hit enter a few times [23:15] sprinkmeier_: I have no telnet program [23:15] Hi, I have an existing private/public SSH key pair from when I was on Windows, generated with PuTTYgen, and i want to import this into my system, how do I go about doing so? [23:15] kolby, it's default with Ubuntu [23:15] Whipper: I just downloaded puppylinux, made a DVD and used MD5 to make sure it was correct, should I stick it in the computer, or do something to the computer first [23:15] kolby, nc? [23:16] what's nc? [23:16] net cat? [23:16] <_Whipper__> sizzle: just put it in [23:16] Anyone know the precise NVIDIA driver I need? I installed NVIDIA-GLX but was the wrong driver.

[23:18] I have firefox 3.0.7, and every time I open it, it seems to fill the entire screen. It says it is not in fullscreen mode but covers the entire screen. The only way out of it is to put it in fullscreen mode then take it out of it. This alas is very annoying to do. Any ideas on how to fix or reinstall? [23:18] <_Whipper__> sizzle:just wait and let it run [23:18] can someone assist me with nvidia drivers? [23:18] josher4, try starting firefox in safe mode, or deleting your profile before reinstalling firefox [23:18] that clears up most firefox issues [23:18] ubersoldat: ...I'm helping a friend with windows.

[23:21] thanks for helping me. [23:21] kolby, good luck then [23:21] i think i found it, i will be back later, it should be deleting now, thank you [23:21] kolby, I lost my patience with Windows long ago [23:21] <_Whipper__> no prblm [23:21] phuzion: It cant find it [23:21] josher4, it should work with just typing firefox -safe-mode [23:21] make sure that you have no other firefox sessions open though [23:21] How do u delete a file [23:22] !rm | TaG^ [23:22] TaG^: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[23:32] andre1: nvidia-glx-96 [23:33] dssds [23:33] genii, is it possible that it is broken (I can't log in). I had a SEGV signal from getty or login (I'm 90% sure it's getty though) [23:33] sprinkmeier_ GUI way and i do have permissions! [23:33] sprinkmeier_ permissions i.e. i type in root password to make any changes! [23:34] crdlb, so use sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96? [23:34] blindy: what do you mean? if you were to play a 16:9 video on a 4:3 screen in fullscreen, any video player will put black bars around it by default [23:34] andre1: or just use the hardware drivers manager [23:34] is to move a file is mv ? [23:34] I did... [23:34] dddd [23:34] silentContender: It's conceivable but unlikely that it's broken. Is this suddenly on an otherwise working box?

To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins [23:34] genii, Yes it is suddenly [23:35] crdlb, lets say the original picture is 100x100 and my screen is 300x300, it will box the whole picture with black [23:35] metho, root password? I though all these things worked off "sudo" so you have to enter your account password. Just possible that you're entering the wrong password and it's failing silently. [23:35] genii, it took me awhile but I wrote script to log processes and it crashes on getty it seems [23:35] blindy: that's what you want? [23:35] i am using ubuntu 8.04 on eeepc with an extern sd-card (/home) and ext2. every restart/start i get an error, that my system was not clealy shutdown. i only get this error with ext2. is there a known bug? [23:36] crdlb yes, i want to keep low res videos small so they dont pixelate. All media players keep it at that res but show the desktop etc [23:36] silentContender: Does it work when you disable/remove the script?

(the script I wrote?, I wrote that after the login crash to do diag) [23:36] sprinkmeier_ alright i'll give it a go [23:37] silentContender: Ah, OK. I was under the impression after the script was put in place this began. [23:37] genii, also someone else in ubuntu forums has posted the same problem after an install [23:37] silentContender: Does it come up to single-user (recovery) ok, or same issue? [23:38] genii, I can only use the recovery console.

[23:40] silentContender: getty is part of package util-linux ... perhaps try apt-get install --reinstall util-linux (if internet working) [23:40] sprinkmeier_: I think my problem is that they don't support my video card...too new :( [23:40] hi === jcoffman is now known as Asymmetry [23:40] genii, I'll try. Give me a sec. (It only has wireless, so...) [23:41] metho, there are a couple of orher files that change too, best to do it the GUI way if possible. You shoul dbe able to do that from a login that's in the "admin" group.

[23:42] at supplier? ALSA? [23:42] DakarRally, video card supplier [23:42] I meant ousnd card [23:42] *sound [23:42] DakarRally, I thouogh that was strange... [23:43] genii, it doesn't help [23:43] yeah...so whinge to ALSA? [23:43] silentContender: I'm out of immediate ideas on it then [23:44] genii, could you nudge me in the right direction? Thanks for you confirmation and help. [23:44] DakarRally, I doubt that will work. unsupported hardware tends to be due to HW vendors not releasing drivers/specs, i.e. not playing nice with developers who ask for info. Vote with your wallet (too late I guess, you've already bought it) or let the vendor know you'll be buying something different in future unless they get drivers out (i.e. tilt at windmills :-) [23:44] Simple ComizConfig is just amazing [23:44] Guys, I followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-1/Intrepid for enabling my trackpad to the letter, but when I rebooted and tried to check it, it couldn't find it.

[23:44] that's tip 1 [23:45] find* [23:45] tip 2 is don't even think about even thinking about installing 9.04 [23:45] sprinkmeier_ You are the man. its all done and dusted thanks [23:45] andre1: hardware drivers would be the usual way, otherwise just install that package [23:45] it's in restricted [23:45] It's a new sound card though? Intel ICH8 and as far as I can tell they only support up to ICH7 [23:46] Plus, it's in a laptop, so there isn't a lot I can do :( [23:46] crdlb, the hardware driver that this installs, is the incorrect one as it causes my resolution to only stay @ 800x600 [23:46] andre1: are you using it now? [23:46] nope [23:47] i disabled it [23:47] then restarted machine [23:47] DakarRally, ICH7? ICH8? If you know what that means you;re ahead of me :-) [23:47] Royall: that's a bit harsh [23:47] andre1: please enable it, then we can figure out what's wrong with it [23:47] ok [23:47] I believe it is the chipset [23:47] bruce89: well I meant that to normal users [23:47] * bruce89 is pleased to be called abnormal [23:47] brb need to restart crdlb [23:48] silentContender: Conceivably your perms are messed up for the regular user in their home dir, not allowing them login. Maybe do recursive chown back to their name:group including the hidden dot-files [23:48] which is better "CrossOver Linux Pro" or "Wine" to run windows apps [23:50] metho: crossover is basically the commerical version of wine [23:50] genii, I'll try that [23:50] crdlb, ok it's installed.. but i cannot change the resolution [23:50] ahh, didnt know that [23:50] thx [23:50] hi [23:50] how can I find out why my soundcard is inacessable?
