[12:01] hello, i need some help with ubuntu [12:01] i just installed it to a powermac and I am getting an error message saying that the xserver cant start [12:01] sybariten: I'd have thought so; I don't use gnome [12:01] how do i install belkin f5d7001 on ubuntu [12:02] !amarok [12:02] I guess amarok is a music player for Linux and Unix with an intuitive interface. See http://amarok.kde.org ; amaroK's features: http://amarok.kde.org/content/view/51/1/ [12:02] amphi: neither would i... if i was sure i wouldnt lose stuff by changing [12:02] how do i install belkin f5d7001 on ubuntu [12:02] sybariten: lose stuff? [12:02] Isn't the "thrash can" on the bootom right? next to the 4 desktop screen selectors. [12:02] !bash [12:02] For a list of basic commands, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands [12:02] !init [12:02] Init is how Ubuntu starts up misc. system services at boot time. To control the services, please install the package "BUM" from "Universe" Repository [12:02] amphi: you know ... uh .. the terminal here in gnome has tabs, and it has choices to change char emulation instantly. could i do that under xfce, etc etc [12:02] loose stuff like that [12:03] !Aac [12:03] methinks aac is read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for information about aac support [12:03] night all! // jo ejt! [12:03] Yep. I was just about to mention that I_Love_DRM. [12:03] how do i install belkin f5d7001 on ubuntu [12:03] sybariten: guess so; just use gnome-terminal I suppose; I use mrxvt for tabbed xterms [12:03] I_Love_DRM: you have a thrashcan there ? [12:03] i just installed ubuntu to a powermac and I am getting an error message saying that the xserver cant start [12:03] can anyone help me out? [12:03] I do too. it looks like a calculator on my screen, but it's a trash can. [12:03] How do I correct 'dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)' ? [12:03] amphi: but i couldnt use gnome-terminal under antyhing but gnome could i [12:04] darwin188: you need to mess with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I guess [12:04] hey folks, newcommer here [12:04] sybariten: why not? [12:04] I'm trying to install glibc [12:04] and then? [12:04] how do i install belkin f5d7001 on ubuntu [12:04] hola [12:04] sybariten: AFAIK it's a standalone prog (albeit with a lot of shared lib deps probably) [12:04] alguien que sepa de linux que me ayude [12:04] "rpm -U webmin-1.260-1.noarch.rpm" - this command doesnt seem to work for me, any ideas of how to use a. rpm file? [12:04] Claudia, hablas ingles? [12:04] I need to install it [12:04] ompaul: yes i like the new edubuntu background too - although it's a kinda cold and is missing New Zealand (bug reported) :) [12:04] is there a way to lower my screen resolution, Ubuntu loaded tops and is hard on my eyes [12:04] no [12:04] !tell CLAUDIA about es [12:04] !es [12:04] Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda. [12:04] Old: ubuntu is debian not redhat [12:04] amphi: i thought gnome stuff required gnome as the window manager (althouih its prolly bigger than just a window manager today) to run, just as all K-programs (Kdevelop an all) would require KDE ... etc [12:04] bimberi, :-) [12:05] !rpm [12:05] methinks rpm is the Redhat Package Management file. Very similar to Debian's DEB files, but require alien to install. ask me about !alien [12:05] hola CLAUDIA [12:05] Old: ubuntu uses .debs not .rpms [12:05] ooh [12:05] hola nelisa [12:05] !alien [12:05] somebody said alien was a program to convert RPMs to DEBs. Its use is discouraged, as it could create serious problems. Website: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/ [12:05] CLAUDIA: #ubuntu-es [12:05] Is there a way to use .rpms, like renaming it or something? [12:05] Amin: alien isnt really recommended to use [12:05] sybariten: you can run kde progs without kde (you still need the libs), same for gnome; I run gnome progs like gthumb here without gnome [12:05] Old: find a deb [12:05] Old, there's "alien", but you should look for a deb first [12:05] gracias [12:05] how do you add backports to dapper? like so i can get lame debs? [12:05] CLAUDIA: de nada [12:06] gnomefreak i cant tbh, this guide is old, and i bet the file isnt on google anymore [12:06] I'll look [12:06] Old: what is the app? [12:06] sabes espaol [12:06] aj_, there won't be any backports for Dapper yet - development of the next version hasnt' started yet [12:06] ok next question ... if i compile something and then do make install in order to get it in place.... (in this case irssi) .. and i already had that tool installed via apt-get ... will make be able to "overwrite" my old version, and will the apt-system know that i got a new version of the irc client?? [12:06] !es [12:06] Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda. [12:06] amphi [12:06] CLAUDIA: join #ubuntu-es [12:06] amphi: ok didnt know that [12:06] are there any good wiki pages for setting up software mixing of sound? [12:06] how to lower the res [12:06] I can't get my sdl games & teamspeak to play nice [12:06] so you can't get lame or mythtv in a repo? [12:06] gnomefreak, it's webmin, for administrating your counter-strike servers (game servers) [12:07] http://mirrors.redwoodvirtual.com/mirrors/www.webmin.com/download.html [12:07] aj_: did you enable universe and multiverse [12:07] yes [12:07] Can i use any of those? [12:07] !webmin [12:07] See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WebminWithoutARootAccount for webmin instructions for Ubuntu. Webmin runs on https://localhost:10000 - As of Ubuntu 6.06, webmin is REMOVED from Ubuntu and will no longer be supported [12:07] how do i go about finding out about this 'mmsh://a814.l1977144512.c19771.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/814/19771/v0001/reflector:44512?MSWMExt=.asf'. [12:07] sybariten: some of the integration stuff may not work (those DEs must be for _something_ ;), but the individual profs should work [12:07] dis, thats a windows media player link :p [12:07] thanks gnomefreak, i'll just take a peak [12:07] i think [12:08] Yep.

[12:10] AlwaysIcey, how to get more res enabled? [12:11] MENDIGO: no [12:11] One more second nelisa, I'll look at mine. [12:11] coucho, I've dealed with VNC back in my win days [12:11] if I get a workable ress I would do better [12:11] nelisa: i'm still in those XD [12:11] AlwaysIcey, thanks [12:12] nelisa, Try clicking on the arrows next to the resolution.

[12:12] http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2006/5/21/4048 - bye bye Ballmer :) [12:12] How about the refresh rate, what options are there? [12:12] RandolphCarter: he's going somewhere? [12:12] mikebot: what does google say ? [12:12] amphi: gotham prison [12:12] AlwaysIcey, 60 Hx only [12:12] mikebot: did you install the mplayer-fonts package? [12:13] gnomefreak, read above. Could you help me perhaps? [12:13] sybariten, RandolphCarter not sure [12:13] nice job btw [12:13] AlwaysIcey, Resolution 1280x1024 [12:13] nelisa: maybe you're able to help me out? [12:13] Old: that should be the path iirc [12:13] Is it an older computer nelisa? [12:13] RandolphCarter: ah, the purges begin ;) [12:13] gnomefreak, what's the exact path (Im new to ubuntu) [12:13] it's a laptop an HP Pavilion N5495 [12:13] Old: i dont do much with perl except use it in scripts [12:14] nelisa, no, i was going to update to Dapper Drake but then when i saw that would have to download 500mb I choose to Cancel [12:14] hi olks [12:14] Old: /usr/bin/perl [12:14] RandolphCarter, how do i do that? [12:14] I just installed the 686 optimized kernel for Ubuntu, and now mplayer and xmms don't run. if I launch them from the command line, it just says "segmentation fault". I recompiled mplayer, but it still says the same error. any ideas? I tried googling, and maybe the nvidia X driver is related to this problem (I had a bit of a problem getting X to work with the nvidia driver when I installed the kernel, but it eventually worked) [12:14] hallo [12:14] cheers gnomefreak [12:14] mikebot: sudo aptitude install mplayer-fonts [12:14] RandolphCarter, thanks [12:14] I'm not sure then nelisa. I haven't tried this on a laptop, so I'm not too sure how what resolution options you should have. [12:14] nelisa, I did a backup of the sources.list then i replace it with the backup and did a apt-get update [12:15] thanks, It's installing now gnomefreak. [12:15] hi , im on a live cd how can i partitionate my HDD [12:15] what software i need [12:15] Nintendud: you need to install the linux-686 package [12:15] ubuntu breezy live cd [12:15] RandolphCarter: I did [12:15] ;p [12:15] AlwaysIcey, how do I poll my hardware for more res options? [12:15] hmm, so it can't be missing the nvidia kmod :( [12:15] whois guenni [12:15] oh wait [12:15] RandolphCarter: looks like I didn't. wtf o_O [12:15] join #ubuntu-laptop [12:15] i've got ubuntu running at 1280x800 on an acer 3023 with an ati card [12:15] I'll check this out, thanks [12:15] Qtparted [12:15] wooh [12:16] anyone here using irssi? please raise a hand [12:16] Nintendud: :P np's [12:16] >hand< [12:16] anyone here know a bit about raid? specifically raid0 [12:16] RandolphCarter: would I have to restart? they still segmentation fault [12:16] nelisa, possibly in System > Administration > Device Manager. [12:16] Nintendud: yup, you'd need to restart [12:16] ruchbah: can you see if you can do /set term_char ? [12:16] thought so [12:16] or at least, restart X [12:16] has anyone used automatix? [12:16] hmm, probably best to reboot [12:16] dell500: depends on what you wanna know [12:16] alright [12:16] brb [12:16] sybariten: yeah [12:17] there's some messages about loading restricted modules at startup :) gl [12:17] alright, thanks [12:17] if I'm not back, all is well [12:17] amphi: yes you run it or yes you can do /set blabla ? [12:17] hello all [12:17] need some help [12:17] termchar even [12:17] :( [12:17] coucho, well i have a raid0 array... i made the array with the onboard software (prog that came on the mobo) and i am using it in linux (kubuntu 5.10) [12:17] hello can anyone help me???????????? [12:17] dell500: and what's the problem? [12:18] coucho, what I would like to do is get another large SATA and just back everything up on it, then use the 2 other sata's for OS's [12:18] sybariten: yes I use it ;) [12:18] !helpme [12:18] If you do not actually ask a question, we cannot actually help you. :) [12:18] sybariten: "Irssi: Unknown setting term_char" - what's that supposed to do? [12:18] I was just wondering if it's possible to get a new mobo that has more than 2 satas to hook it up so the transfer of 200gb of data to be copied will be faster [12:18] i want to configure dns server on the Ubuntu Machine can anyone teach me how can i do it?? [12:19] dell500: if you've got a third drive, maybe raid4? [12:19] AlwaysIcey, what I'm looking for?? [12:19] dell500: why wouldn't it be possible? [12:19] amphi: solve my problems :) [12:19] amphi: according to the bitches in my regular swedish chan [12:19] sybariten: WAYTTD? [12:19] sybariten doesn't seem to do anything. This is the first time I've used irssi. Just trying it out [12:19] dell500: and sure, you can always get a PCI SATA-2 card and use linux's software mirroring too [12:19] coucho, i've only got 2 SATA ports for raid [12:20] anyone there? [12:20] amphi: what does that abbreviation mean ? [12:20] it's almost as fast, and you can just put the drives in another machine without it breaking horribly [12:20] nelisa, in Device Manager, you'll be looking for the Display Adapter or something similar to that. [12:20] dell500: i understand, but why would it not be possible for you to get a new mobo that supports raid on more than 2 sata ports? [12:20] ruchbah: ok thanks ... hmmm but did you get an error or not? try a termchar that doesnt exist, like /set term_char banana [12:20] sybariten: !wayttd is "what are you trying to do?" [12:20] RandolphCarter, my "vision" is to get all the data stored on one SATA drive, then enclose it, use it as USB, then use the RAID0 array (2 120 SATAs) to split up and use for OS [12:20] i just installed ubuntu to a powermac and I am getting an error message saying that the xserver cant start [12:21] coucho, i was wondering if it might destroy the raid array i have now and i would lose all my music and stuff... that wouldn't be good [12:21] varunvarde2007, http://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/en_GB/dns.html [12:21] can anyone help me out? [12:21] dell500: ah like that [12:21] thanks checking it out in a second [12:21] dell500: you won't be able to move the drives to a new mobo [12:21] dell500: super, mega, definitely not [12:21] ok [12:21] lol [12:21] has anyone had problems using automatix? specifically firefox [12:21] and this is the problem with hardware RAID :) [12:21] amphi: ok, i'm trying to set IRSSI to get the character "emulation" (or whatever you call it) ISO-8859-1 ... aka "western" [12:21] sybariten .. nope. No error. [12:21] (unless they're not in a RAID atm) [12:21] varunvarde2007, you will also need to read that howto at the bottom its far too much to do in irc [12:21] greg_: dont use it [12:21] ruchbah: ok, then it works for you ... dang [12:22] RandolphCarter and coucho, I guess I could just get an enclosure and copy via USB... but 200gb over usb scares me [12:22] dell500: i would advise you to get the disk, and get norton ghost or something to create an image and put that on your new hd [12:22] why not? [12:22] sybariten: no idea about that I'm afraid [12:22] !automatix [12:22] automatix is, like, totally, unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, such as !easyubuntu. [12:22] ^^^ greg_ [12:22] this is giving me an anurisum [12:22] dell500: then just undo the array and reinstall everything [12:22] dell500: wouldn't be so bad, just leave it going overnight, probably take 3-4 hours? [12:22] is there a way to check my hard drive. to analyse it for bad sectors etc... it's an external hdd on fat32 [12:22] coucho, u can do that? [12:22] greg_, if you use it, and you break your machine you will reinstall [12:23] anyone know how to make a .deb package of firefox 1.5 from source? [12:23] <`RaSh> how can i know what ports i have open? [12:23] phace: badblocks [12:23] !ff1.5 [12:23] You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion [12:23] vlad: ^^^ [12:23] gnomefreak, thanks [12:23] vlad: ywe [12:23] -e [12:23] yeah it did break my machine [12:23] dell500: of course, but everything that was on the array will be gone (or at least not accessible) [12:23] Does anyone know the reason why I get this message when I start Synaptic?

[12:24] leojstewart, because you don't have your CD in [12:24] AlwaysIcey, only video related thing is 82830 CGC [12:24] dell500: i don't think you have to worry about it, unless you get a crappy image maker [12:24] ghost's very safe, just do an integrity check afterwards [12:24] exactly [12:24] I'm not sure what to tell you then nelisa. Have you tried in the #ubuntu-laptop room? [12:24] leojstewart, it should run fine anyway, though [12:24] is there a good one for ubuntu? [12:24] Of course the forums go down right before [12:25] one that doesn't crash? :) [12:25] I make a post. [12:25] Pyro: it does. Thank you. I was just wondering [12:25] dell500: most of those work outside an OS [12:25] dell500: ghost does anyway [12:25] I wasn't doing it before... I wonder why it is now. [12:25] ohhhh [12:25] gotcha [12:25] dell500: tar | bzip is farely safe and doesn't crash :) [12:25] AlwaysIcey, they sent me back to #ubuntu [12:25] *fairly [12:25] RandolphCarter, I've had some problems with tar'ing things [12:25] idk why [12:26] Nelisa, You need to find a way to make the equivalent of a conference call it would seem. [12:26] leojstewart, if you don't want to see that error, you can comment out the line from /etc/apt/sources.lst that checks the CD [12:26] dell500: i would get ghost, you can boot up and just copy your entire hd array to your new disk [12:26] But seriously, I hope you get help. [12:26] can i open terminals so they're already set to the folder i want them to be in? [12:26] Pyro: sorry, but I'm a linux-newbie. Could you tell me exactly how to do this? [12:26] ghost only works with ext2/ext3 atm though (don't think it works with reiser) [12:27] dell500: i would probably allocate that disk first [12:27] The only other place I could recommend is maybe the accessibility chat room. Otherwise, I'll leave it up to someone else here, since I haven't configured Devices manually or used a laptop with Ubuntu. [12:27] dell500: which fs do you use? [12:27] :( [12:27] didn't work [12:27] still segmentation faults [12:27] leojstewart, you can do it in synaptic. open it up and go settings>repositories [12:27] Nintendud: erk :/ [12:28] Hey, I have a little question about getting new hardware working in an existing ubuntu breezy installation, I was hoping someone here could help? [12:28] then uncheck the "CD disk with Ubuntu..." [12:28] dbcalo , How do you define the ones you want them to be in? Do you want to pick them from nautilus or do you want the terminal to have a different default or something else? [12:28] !tell jlunder about ask [12:28] RandolphCarter: then again, I probably should have watched that apt-get more carefully; since it didn't have any dependencies to install, so I think everything in that respect was up to date [12:28] when i try and shut down ubuntu on my laptop it just goes blank screen and nothing happens, none of the diagnostic messages "shutting down root file system" or anything, just blank screen, never powers down either. What do you guys think is wrong? [12:28] php5 and gd lib support, what do I have to do to ensure that php is compiled with GD lib support/? [12:28] since apt-get install linux-686 only downloaded a 22.4KB file ;p [12:29] hi, how can i install LILO from a live cd , i just broke grub and ill install lilo to replace it [12:29] :( [12:29] anyone got any ideas of how to remove the other modules from webmin ? [12:29] man, I can't live without mplayer [12:29] http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/installation/grub#restauration doing that doesnt work [12:29] eugman, i was hoping i could open them up with nautilus. i remember i used to be able to do such a thing but have since forgotten how to do so. [12:29] xmms I don't care much about, unless I want to spam music in IRC [12:29] Nintendud: heh [12:29] HellDragon: there are plenty of other GRUB tutorials/HOWTOs... [12:29] what's the disk info command again? [12:29] but still [12:29] :/ === Sir_Squirrel is now known as McScruff [12:29] <`RaSh> can anyone tell why im able to send in AMSN but im not able to send here in IRC [12:29] but i want to use lilo [12:29] not grub anymore [12:29] how do i make my newly installed ubuntu system to work...i keep getting an error message saying that the xserver cant start [12:29] it always break [12:29] jlunder - what have you got? [12:30] every week it breaks [12:30] `RaSh: some channels require you to have a registered user name. [12:30] i will appreciate a lot the help [12:30] HellDragon: you boot every week?? [12:30] Nintendud: hmm :/ not sure what I can recommend [12:30] RandolphCarter: :( [12:30] what's the disk info command again? [12:30] amphi, every day [12:30] <`RaSh> its not here. [12:30] PyroMithrandir: worked perfectly. Thank you! [12:30] HellDragon: strewth [12:30] leojstewart, no problem :) [12:30] so, can anyone help me with my problem? after installing the 686 optimized kernel, mplayer and xmms only respond with a "segmentation fault" when I run them from the command line [12:30] dbcalo, Well I'm guessing you could do something with nautilus scripts and the cd command. Or copy the folder and then open a terminal and type cd and then paste the location into it but that's no fun. [12:30] darwin188, sounds like you need to reconfigure your X server properly. perhaps install the nvidia or ati drivers. depending on your video card. [12:30] i dont know what to do now [12:30] i can only boot on a live cd [12:30] Nintendud: they don't even give you any other output? :/ [12:31] Right, so I just put a new CD burner in this machine. It shows up in "Computer" but as a regular CD-ROM, and I can't burn anything through the nautilus interface. Is there some magic I need to invoke to get things working? [12:31] RandolphCarter: nope [12:31] but i dont even have a graphical interface [12:31] what's the disk info command again? [12:31] nintendud@johnspc:~$ mplayer [12:31] Segmentation fault [12:31] BAM [12:31] ok thanks everyone [12:31] same with xmms [12:31] maybe iw ill come tomorrow for help [12:31] thakns [12:31] how do i reconfigure the the xserver? [12:31] bye all [12:31] which is why I was so confused [12:31] ;p [12:31] !reconfigure [12:31] I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Dr_Willis [12:31] hello, i'm having a problem... [12:31] Nintendud: you could try running it under gdb and see if that gives you any idea [12:31] what's the disk info command again? [12:31] !fixres [12:31] Help to fix the display resolution is available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto [12:31] gdb? [12:31] how can i manage the services of the system? [12:31] I've never heard of that [12:31] lol, I was just thinking that [12:31] it's the GNU Debugger [12:31] coucho: what disk info command? df ? [12:31] eugman, i'll keep looking into. i know last time i used linux there was a drop down menu it was in if you were looking at the contents a folder. [12:32] amphi: finally, thanks [12:32] i keep getting "error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0" whenever i run quake4 or, im assuming, any other program thats uses SDL. I have it installed and linked in ld.so.conf and it still does it? [12:32] how do i create a user with the permission like a root user? (ex i want the user: warlock to have full rights like a root user does) [12:32] nelisa: I may have a workaround for you, although it's not a solution. [12:32] RandolphCarter: alright, I ran gdb, now what do I do? ;p [12:32] Old, may I ask why? [12:32] Nintendud: run mplayer under gdb, and when it crashes, do bt to get a stack trace, and see if you see anything enlightening [12:32] !tell Old about root [12:32] Nintendud: are you using proprietary nvidia X drivers, BTW? ;) [12:32] Nintendud: you need to run 'gdb mplayer' [12:32] Old, your first user - the one you created during install - has full sudo privs - you can give any subsequently created users the same [12:32] eugman, im installing webmin, and it needs a account to start my gameservers, i dont want to use the root account [12:33] i want to give multiple user read/write access to a dir. ive created a symlink to this dir in each of their home dirs. each user belongs to the same group as the dir. and the perms on the dir were set with 'chmod 1660 dir_name'. why doesnt this work? [12:33] then type 'run' and wait for a crash [12:33] amphi: if you mean if I'm using "nvidia" instead of "nv", then yes [12:33] I only created 'root' there :-( [12:33] (press return too) [12:33] helldragon .. I've had problems with grub which I solved by booting a live cd then going into the /bin (? /usr/bin ?) of the hd install and running grub-install from there. There was more to it than that, but that was the gist. Does that sound like something to explore for your situation? [12:33] Old, no it does not - this is ubuntu [12:33] Old, read the webmin page on the Ubuntu wiki [12:33] sorry, i'm trying to manage the services of ubuntu, how can i do that? [12:33] I need nvidia for dual screens [12:33] Nintendud: you can do 'file /usr/bin/mplayer' at the gdb prompt, and then 'run' [12:33] ompaul, huh? [12:33] Old, read the web page that ubotu sent you as a message [12:33] nelisa: If you go into System > Preferences > Assistive Technology Support, you can enable the magnifier and a few other options. If nothing else, that will help until you get a solution. [12:33] Old: you do not want a web program to have root priviliges, webmin == evil [12:33] disabling root account, I dont want that.. [12:33] oh [12:33] but.. [12:33] Perkin, could read up on how the SysV init system works.. if thats what you are refering to.. theres also gui front ends to manage what gets started when. [12:33] amphi: did it, but uh... weird output o_O [12:34] what user should i use then?! [12:34] Old, no buts read the web page [12:34] Nintendud: that might be what's breaking mplayer and xmms - someone had a similar problem yesterday; you could check if using the nv driver makes the problem go away [12:34] k, let me read it [12:34] amphi: I need dual monitors though! [12:34] :( [12:34] and, I believe nvidia is necessary for that, right? :P [12:34] Old: what's wrong with teh good old command line to start services? [12:34] I had no problem with the 386 kernel and nvidia [12:34] Nintendud: *shrug* - trying with nv would at least show if that was the cause of the proble, [12:34] it's just this one [12:34] :/ [12:34] hello. can anybody help me getting my network / internet working? [12:34] er, problem [12:35] alright, I'll try it [12:35] hold on, editing xorg config [12:35] !commands [12:35] is there anyone in here who can help me with vnc server? [12:35] from memory, commands is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands or http://www.linuxcommand.org/ [12:35] Dr_Willis: i saw that i can manage the main services, like schedules, with something called gnome-services or similar. do you know that? [12:35] Knorrie, im new to ubuntu, mind explaining a little more ? [12:35] or should I show you gdb's output first, amphi ? [12:35] I always use the root account, I dont dare to disable it [12:35] maike-maus: you're on irc without a network connection? :P [12:35] Perkin, im old skool and normally twiddle the rc.d links myself. [12:35] Nintendud: did mplayer crash> [12:35] ? [12:35] Old: that is not very wise [12:35] how do i make my newly installed ubuntu system to work...i keep getting an error message saying that the xserver cant start [12:35] amphi: um, gdb says: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [12:35] Old, In ubuntu root isn't used. Sudo is used before root level commands. [12:35] [Switching to Thread -1228269888 (LWP 8426)] [12:35] 0x00000000 in ??

I dont see those things being 'fun' to me. - sorry. [12:37] spam spam spam [12:37] Old: heh i'm too [12:37] Nintendud: pastebin it and paste the url in here - is there an openGL line near the top of the bt? [12:37] Let me read it ompaul [12:37] again. [12:37] darwin188: did you look through the manual yet?

Im new to ubuntu and im trying to run applications as easy as possible, and as smoothly as possible. I'm not much of a googler to look for ways to get around not-using root. [12:38] darwin188: help.ubuntu.com / wiki.ubuntu.com [12:38] I'm not sure about that at all. Maybe someone else can answer it. [12:38] amphi: but, how will I use dual monitors? [12:38] i already tried that not a lot of help [12:39] I don't think there is a way to do that under nv [12:39] refers to this channel [12:39] ok, i'll see in another way [12:39] Old: what gameservers are you running.. just curious :) [12:39] Nintendud: no idea - perhaps reinstalling the nvidia driver will fix it, dunno; it'd be worth checking that the problem goes away with the nv driver, as I grow weary of saying [12:39] alright, I'll check that first [12:39] I'll be back [12:40] Knorrie, counter-strike servers, I work for alot of companies, and communitys. I know the basic in ubuntu to run game-servers, but im interested im learning more so i can do more with my game-servers. [12:40] Old, that page says use sudo, if you want to install something it asks you for your password that is all, no one can brute force your root account that way, I could stay here all night doing one liners, take it as read it is a bad idea, or research it on ww.securityfocus.com [12:40] well, brute forcing my password is impossible. [12:40] darwin188: k wait a second [12:41] Old: sorry to ask, but why do you complain about a sarcastic sysadmin story, and run games where people shoot each other, i dont get it [12:41] Old, if the machine is compromised through the game server you will have only yourself to blame for running it as root, and personally I think you should go and do some research to understand what is wrong with running applicaitons as root [12:41] thanks [12:41] games where people talk and help each other are too much like IRC :P [12:41] Dr_Willis: heh [12:42] hi people, what is more secure way to set up an subversion server? Inetd or an script that initialize it on booting time? [12:42] i want to give multiple user read/write access to a dir. ive created a symlink to this dir in each of their home dirs. each user belongs to the same group as the dir. and the perms on the dir were set with 'chmod 1660 dir_name'. why doesnt this work? [12:42] Dr_Willis, can we quote you on that? [12:42] what _is_ a subversion server ? [12:42] ompaul, :P sure.. im allready on tht bash.org site a few times [12:42] dgl: i use subversion and apache2 with the subversion-module [12:42] Knorrie, I'm sorry to answer your questiong and you wasting my time litterly when im busy trying to sort out webmin. I have a son playing this game, And this is what i litterly do for a living. If you feel that what I'm doing is wrong, can you please me a work, as i cant seem to find any.

I'm very new to Ubuntu, and just now got it installed on my computer. I installed it on a 250GB hard drive. I gave 10GB to /root 20GB to /home and 1GB to /swap (i know thats a lot). I ran into problems when trying to format the remaining 219 GB as FAT32, so I just left it as free space. Now I want to format it so that I can share files between Linux and Windows. What's the best way to create this partition? [12:46] 2005 is 9.0, so i think 2006 is 10. [12:46] Knorrie: aye, what's so bad about ssh? [12:46] can anyone help me :( [12:46] ompaul, I created a user, and gave it a password. Is that all? [12:46] RandolphCarter: ssh isn't bad, did i say that? === subsinker is now known as sub|at|alpopel [12:46] jonuk: 219GB is way to big for fat32 [12:46] jonuk: cfdisk is pretty easy [12:46] nope, kinda agreeing and diss'ing webmin for being pointless [12:46] !comfort ompaul [12:46] I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Knorrie [12:46] Old, that is all there is too it, if you need to run a command in a terminal, sudo command and it asks for your password [12:46] RandolphCarter: true, but i believe that it works after the usb driver has been loaded [12:47] :(((((((((((((( [12:47] Or should i disable the root usage aswell, If so. Is this user account i created -safe- to use for my gameservers and my webserver, so i can administrate them? [12:47] +p isn't the limit for fat around 137 gb? [12:47] coucho: yeah, it should [12:47] I have two cdrom drives installed, where can I find what they're known as? [12:47] HellDragon: you're a dragon from hell, you shouldn't :((((((( [12:47] ompaul, so when i login with putty i will be using my new account i created instead of root in the future? [12:47] jonuk wheres your /? /lib /etc ???? [12:47] RandolphCarter/dell500: i would have to check be sure though [12:47] Briguy: cat /etc/fstab [12:47] Briguy: ide? [12:48] darwin188: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [12:48] ty [12:48] There's a -bunch- of hours and work on this server, I wouldn't feel too good if i messed it up by disabling the root account.

[12:48] dgl: i'm running a dedicated apache2 install somewhere to server subversion repo's, just because the svn people made a apache-module like http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/libapache2-svn [12:48] im on a livecd [12:48] jonuk: cfdisk, yes [12:48] spacey: what's the standard size for a FAT32 partition? [12:49] Ah, I know. But i have a few things todo on my spare time, and i dont feel like going down to the server just to fix that :-) [12:49] jonuk: maximum size you mean? i don't know, google it:) [12:49] Old, if you gave root a password and installed software and let it run as root all bets are off its reinstall time sorry but that is how I view it [12:49] jonuk: 1.44 MB ;) [12:49] kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [12:49] maximmum size, yes [12:49] HellDragon, what? [12:49] jonuk: the max FAT32 partition size is 2TiB [12:49] AlwaysIcey, bunch of unknown devices in dev manager, where to look at first? [12:49] ack [12:49] you say a 250gb drive, w/ 10gb for /root, 20gb for home and 1gb for swap, with the rest unformated, where's the rest of your instalation? Whaeres your root partition? Is this up and running? [12:49] how the hell can i reinstall grub [12:49] grub-install doesnt work [12:49] looking at this deal for a durable high res ubuntu box... http://tinyurl.com/o2lym [12:49] can somebody help me with a library location problem im having [12:49] HellDragon: let me try to help you [12:50] HellDragon: you didn't specify the device [12:50] http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/installation/grub#restauration i tried that , didnt work [12:50] ompaul, but cant i like..remove the root account, or perhaps disable it from people accessing it?

[12:50] HellDragon, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/grub gives a few pages that you can try I am off to bed in two minutes [12:50] *were [12:50] HellDragon: what partition is your ubuntu install / [12:50] ? [12:50] HellDragon: you're on a live cd, can you mount your ubuntu partition somewhere under /mnt ? [12:50] i can format it in either linux or windows [12:50] is your PB UXGA?

[12:51] nothing [12:51] fdisk -l /dev/hda says nothing [12:51] oh, sudo mkdosfs.. [12:51] well, how about this [12:51] Old, the page tells you how to, however if a program is running as root one of these game servers your talking about then *all bets are off* the risk of a compromise is too high [12:51] Old, and with that I am gone, good night. [12:51] Knorrie HellDragon -- I've done that for a similar thing. Had ubuntu on hd and booted dsl. Mounted. Ran grub-install. [12:52] RandolphCarter: PB 15 in. UXGA? [12:52] buzzed: 12", for Uni lectures ^_^ [12:52] HellDragon: sata hd? [12:52] Oh well, Is there a high risc of people hacking theirselfs into my system? [12:52] I'll make a 20GB FAT32 partition, to let me read/write files in either linux or windows. Then I'll make the rest just NTFS, so I can at least read the files in Linux [12:52] RandolphCarter: he'll need -F 32 to get anything larger than 2GB or so [12:52] amphi: yes [12:52] hyphenated: it'll automagic that [12:52] HellDragon: now you say so... [12:52] Old: not even people, there are lots of automated botnets that try to do that all the time [12:52] ack, no it won't, you need -F 32 :( (my bad) [12:52] HellDragon: fdisk -l /dev/sda perhaps [12:52] wrar, anyone using ubuntu on a ppc here, preferably a powerbook? If so, does switching virtual terminals with ctrl-alt-fwhatnot work?

[12:55] HellDragon: and then 'mount /dev/sda7 mnt' [12:55] jesus christ it's thundering loudly outside [12:55] >_> [12:55] ok [12:55] nintendud im guessing u like nintendo lol [12:55] woah - wait a second. Could someone take that again? Should i change the root pass to something hard (I'll write it down) to prevent brute forcing(?) [12:56] Nintendud: well, it would appear not to be your nvidia driver, so you can have your monitors back ;) [12:56] mugzie: yes, but that's irrelevant to my problem [12:56] amphi: yeah, but.. now what? [12:56] why [12:56] HellDragon: ls mnt shows you files and directories ? [12:56] yes [12:56] HellDragon: that's 'ls mnt' [12:56] is there bittorrent on ubuntu? [12:56] coucho, what version? 8? [12:56] mugzie: xmms and mplayer error out with a segmentation fault right when i run them. this happened after I installed the optimized 686 kernel. [12:56] HellDragon: ok; try 'chroot mnt' [12:56] mugzie: yes, Azureus is good [12:56] burps [12:56] o ok [12:57] mnt is empty now [12:57] so, does anyone have any other suggestions? [12:57] I really want to get mplayer back :( [12:57] Peolple, what is more secure way to set up an svn server? Inetd or standalone process? [12:57] HellDragon: pastebin me the output of 'mount' [12:58] Nintendud: don't use the sloptimised kernel ;) [12:58] Should i change the root pass to something hard (I'll write it down) to prevent brute forcing(?) [12:58] amphi: aww. :( [12:58] http://pastebin.ca/57786 amphi. [12:58] alright I'll uninstall it and reboot [12:58] brb [12:58] dell500: i believe the newest hiren's boot cd is 7.5, but i could very well be wrong [12:58] anyway i can get a 3dfx card working? [12:59] coucho, i'll look it up [12:59] what does hiren's boot cd do? [12:59] negman: as i said, i don't encourage software piracy :P, but it has a number of very useful programs on it [12:59] HellDragon: /dev/sda8 ?? [01:00] coucho - what are the useful programs? i've not even heard of it. [01:00] negman: harware testing tools, partitioning tools, backup tools, things like that [01:00] huh amphi ^ [01:00] gotcha [01:00] anyone know where i can find a 32bit libSDL-1.2.so.0 file? [01:00] can i have some help? [01:00] i dont have any sda8 [01:00] negman: it's great, it'll really simplify any of that stuff if you have to do it [01:01] HellDragon: your fdisk output shows /dev/sda7 as the linux partition, sda8 as linux swap; mount output shows "/dev/sda8 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)" [01:01] How might I go about installing SDL on Ubuntu 5.10? [01:01] coucho, 8.1 is out, but it has norton ghost on it too :) neat cd [01:01] can i burn a uso on ubuntu [01:01] dell500: yeah huh XD [01:01] iso** [01:01] HellDragon: look at what you just pastebin'd [01:01] mugzie theres plentty of ways to do that [01:01] dell500: i love it, i take it everywhere with me :P [01:01] o ok [01:01] cause im downloading something [01:02] download k3b [01:02] MorbidHunger, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:02] thats weird amphy [01:02] anyone seen elephants dream?

[01:02] invalid device: error 94 [01:03] and The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. [01:03] People, does anybody knows what is more secure way to start a service: inetd or standalone process? === Hglcobra is now known as chriswk [01:03] hi, how would Ubuntu react if I have a dialup modem and the Call Waiting service from my phone provider ? would it disconnect me automatically? [01:03] wtf [01:03] Another question [01:03] HellDragon: start again ;) and ask someone who has a sata disk ;) [01:03] i feel like a dick [01:04] what does that mean [01:04] HellDragon: what kind of mobo do you have? [01:04] thanx [01:04] touch yourself and die [01:04] I got the webmin to work atleast, lesser work then I though. And I actually remember everything I just did, that's a good sign of success *laughs* :-) [01:04] HellDragon: say what now? [01:04] but when i put the other video card in the it keeps saying the x server isnt installed [01:04] I'm having problems with install libstdc++5, sudo apt-get install libstdc++5, and I get a problem saying that with in my achives folder permission is denied [01:04] that gives me an idea [01:05] i dont know what to do amphi [01:05] eme? [01:05] I have use Wireless Internet, so when I was installing Ubuntu, it couldn't recognize my network settings (since I couldn't plug in). I know how to go to Network Settings and get my Wireless connection active (obviously), but everytime I reboot I have to reactivate it. How do I get it to permanently connect each time I boot? [01:05] The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. [01:05] wtf is taht [01:05] MorbidHunger, you need to run that each time you swap video cards [01:05] HellDragon: what kind of mobo do you have? [01:05] E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [01:05] E: Unable to lock the download directory [01:05] HellDragon: means grub didn't install; reboot the cd [01:05] ill forget all the command [01:05] breeden: you have some other package manager open? [01:05] breeden, do you have Synaptic or something open too? [01:06] ill need to do everything over amphi ^ [01:06] alright [01:06] but the one im using now is onbored [01:06] i have an s3trio i want to use [01:06] ok i reboot [01:06] brb [01:06] HellDragon: for now rembember your ubuntu / fs is /dev/sda7 - or is sda8? ;) [01:06] well, this is a fresh install of ubuntu, and I'm really not a linux user. But ubuntu's default application add hasn't been of any help [01:06] I haven't tried synaptic yet [01:06] I don't think its install though [01:07] ok, I think I see the problem [01:07] thanks [01:07] I have a 64bit system but quake4 needs 32 bit libsdl files... where can i get those? [01:07] breeden, Synaptic should be at System->Admin->Synaptic [01:07] hey whats that program to adjust the brightness of xv [01:07] I had synaptic already open, hopefully this should fix the problem [01:08] it worked, thanks alot :) [01:09] breeden: that's why the package managers use the lock, so they don't clobber each other ;) [01:09] maike-maus: knoppix? That's bad news... [01:09] Hi, I really need to LAN card working on my laptop, but it doesn't tell me the model name. Is there a tool for this?.. Thanks a lot. [01:09] im back amphi [01:10] i stil see a smiley [01:10] HellDragon: yes, grub-install failed, so no surprise there [01:10] hi soundray [01:10] lss: what kind of laptop? [01:10] but wtf with the smiley ^ [01:10] grub is laughing at me ^ [01:10] lss: lspci might tell you [01:10] coucho, it's a gateway MX3220b. [01:10] maike-maus: how are you getting on? [01:10] amphi, yeah I've seen it happen with FreeBSD's porting system [01:10] Hi, what inetd should I use: openbsd-ined or xinetd? [01:11] can i panic now [01:11] lss: sorry never heard of those, don't know what lan card they have [01:11] lss: did you try lspci? [01:11] coucho, it's a "Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102" [01:11] soundray: network / internet doesn't want to work :( [01:11] lss: you may find info at linux-laptop.net and/or tuxmobil.org [01:11] lss: i think you've got it right there [01:12] coucho, thanks, amphi thanks too [01:12] lss: yw [01:12] AAAAAAAAAAAH lets scream up and down [01:12] maike-maus: same problem as ~20 hours ago? [01:12] dgl, to my understanding xinetd is not backwards compatible with inetd... It would require some manual tunning if you were planning on running a server that didn't support xinetd directly, I believe [01:12] HellDragon: 'when in doubt, run in circles, scream & shout' ;) [01:12] lol [01:12] grub is dead!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAH! [01:13] breeden, ok, so u should use openbsd-inetd? [01:13] rofl [01:13] HellDragon: how did you trash your mbr? [01:13] soundray: yes, xserver working but network still down [01:13] dgl, if you aren't planning on running any servers or anything like that you probably wont notice the difference, I would go with inetd [01:13] openbsd's [01:13] maike-maus: does the net work when you boot a live CD? [01:13] amphi : with partition magic on windows [01:13] i tried to resize J [01:13] its a NTFS part [01:14] soundray: ubuntu live cds doesn't boot... I tried with kanotix, this works great... [01:14] brentd, sorry, but I am a little confused about the packges names [01:14] anyone familiar with dovecot mail? [01:14] maike-maus: with ubuntu live, is it the freeze at hotplug? [01:15] HellDragon: ah... the curse of proprietary sw is upon you [01:15] :( [01:15] qtparted doesnt detect J [01:15] it says its full of errors..etc [01:15] so i tried with part magic [01:15] brentd, what packages offer inetd? I supose openbsd-inetd and xinetd, is there others packages? [01:15] root@server:/home/cs/warservers/speedlink# ./update.sh [01:15] ./update.sh: line 2: ./steam: No such file or directory [01:15] brentd, , what packages offer inetd? I supose openbsd-inetd and xinetd, is there others packages? [01:15] what's the problem? [01:15] Does anyone know why my Gmail Notifier is buggy? [01:15] The file is there.. [01:15] oh [01:15] one second :-) [01:16] Old, ease up on your Enter key a bit, please [01:16] soundray, no some problem wit i/o and pci (dapper) - at hoary everything is fine until the splash screen- then the system freezes [01:16] does anyone know about imap and pop3? [01:16] !tell acid-trip about ask [01:17] acid-trip: what do you want to know? [01:17] acid-trip, I don't use it's pop3, but the imap is easy [01:17] KenSentMe, i have dovecot installed through package [01:17] but it the servers wont send or receive my emails [01:17] amphi can you help me in pm [01:17] theres too much spam ehre [01:17] My Gmail Notifier tray icon does weird things... like disappearing. Anyone know why? [01:17] maike-maus: I guess I've been really lucky with my Turion laptop from Aldi. Almost everything worked straight away, including the Xpress 200 graphics... I'll stay away from Packard Bell, that's for sure. [01:18] Im really confused. I think i have got the driver now, and the drivers file name is "via-rhine.c" and I have no idea how to install it. Thanks [01:18] I might open a new site for Ubuntu Guides (Breezy and up), anyone have a suggestion for a name? I might also be looking for staff, anyone interested? [01:18] acid-trip: i've installed a pop3 and imap server myself using this howto: http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-sarge/ [01:18] how do remove modules ? i am trying to remove the fglrx module -not sure how to though [01:18] <_ClouD_> hi, i have so ubuntu but i can't see dvd movies [01:18] <_ClouD_> what can i do?

Like half of the icon disappears, and randomly appears again >< [01:20] _antix: well I find it very disorganized and confusing for newcomers [01:21] anyone know hot to handle modules ? [01:21] makelele: woth kid gloves, IMHO [01:21] er, with [01:21] makelele: what modules? [01:22] KenSentMe: install openoffice.org-l10n-nl [01:23] amphi:i am trying to remove the fglrx module (not in /etc/modules) but it still shows up in lsmod [01:23] soundray: is already installed, but is this package not only for menus etc.? [01:23] KenSentme:i am trying to remove the fglrx module (not in /etc/modules) but it still shows up in lsmod [01:24] asdf [01:24] KenSentMe: myspell-nl [01:24] makelele: modprobe -r fglrx ? [01:24] amphi: i still have a problem with sendmail: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14419 [01:24] amphi: but what happens when i reboot ? [01:24] coucho: why tell me about sendmail? [01:24] KenSentMe, try installing myspell-nl [01:24] makelele, put it in blacklist [01:25] amphi: cause you helped me with it yesterday [01:25] coucho: with sendmail? [01:25] linuxbomb: how do i do that [01:25] amphi: ah wait, no you didn't, sorry [01:25] er bimberi you're quick or I'm slow :) [01:25] /etc/hotplug/blacklist [01:25] anyone familiar with sendmail in here? [01:25] coucho: ;) I use postfix [01:25] KenSentMe: you're right. The spellchecker is in myspell-nl [01:26] amphi: yeah i remember now :D [01:26] how can I edit fstab? it's read only :-( [01:26] Briguy: use sudo [01:26] Briguy: sudo [01:26] soundray: nickrud: bimberi: right, myspell is the one i was looking for. Thank you [01:26] makelele, i normally just mv the module from /lib/modules/ [01:27] goodnight, is it possibly to use dialup and adsl at the same time, on the same computer with ubuntu to boost bandwidth ? [01:27] hi === blind|AFK is now known as blind [01:27] linuxbomb: thanks i will try that,although your second option sounds better, this ATI card is causing me grief [01:27] i wanted to share a folder using samba. I have a USB drive that mounted to a folder. For some reason when i share that folder, i cant get it access from a windows computer, any help? [01:27] k i'm getting a little pissed off now, can anyone please help me with sendmail? [01:27] nickrud: i found my aussie spellchecking yesterday so knew where to look :) [01:27] what was that one command someone just gave me? [01:27] coucho, what problem are you experiencing ? [01:27] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14419 [01:27] thnx [01:27] makelele, just do a search in /lib/modules and move it to somewhere and then it wont get loaded [01:28] this is weird. [01:28] how do i change video cards? [01:29] I'm using Dapper on a laptop, and every time I try to hibernate, it merely starts the screen saver. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known problem? [01:29] CokeNCode: i use postfix now, but it still seems to want to use sendmail [01:29] can someone please help?? need to install my lan card. I've got the correct driver, but don't understand the instructions [01:29] I rebooted into 386 kernel, mplayer and xmms worked, uninstalled the 686 kernel, rebooted, and now segmentation fault again [01:29] this is really pissing me off >_< [01:29] linuxbomb:thanks ,one more thing ,do you know what the modass dir is all about ? [01:29] im getting pissed too [01:29] I can't win :( [01:29] let's all get pissed :P [01:29] MorbidHunger, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:29] looks like everyone is pissing here at the moment [01:29] \o/ [01:30] does the xerver has to be running? [01:30] coucho, apt-get install sendmail [01:30] no they're gtting pissed [01:30] the package handler will pretty much do the job for you [01:30] makelele, no idea , but check out modconf utility [01:30] CokeNCode: i don't want to install sendmail, i just got rid of it XD [01:30] I seriously don't understand what's happening [01:30] now, to my problem folks ... does anyone know if i can use adsl and dialup at the same time [01:30] yes [01:30] and would it conflict with my onbored video? [01:30] Nintendud: your ram might be marginal? [01:31] Nintendud: mplayer has optimized packages for 386, 686 etc... is the right one installed? [01:31] oh, sorry coucho ... right now i'm supposed to have a 512 connection, and i'm connecting at 18 and below ... so i'm a bit distracted ... :/ [01:31] Knorrie: I compiled it myself, and it worked before. [01:31] is there a way to see "extra messages" from xorg? i'm having problems (lockups) and the log files don't show nothing [01:31] amphi: I have 384 megs of RAM and I'm running XFCE4 [01:31] this is a retarded question but how do you save an opened vim document via console? [01:31] CokeNCode: that's ok, i understand, that's very f'ing frustrating [01:31] i have 256 sd [01:31] everything worked fine before that damned 686 optimized kernel [01:31] Nintendud: don't complain @ ubuntu if you compile yourself ;) [01:31] Knorrie: xmms doesn't work either [01:32] and that wasn't compiled by me [01:32] a smoking ati rage lt pro onbored video [01:32] :P [01:32] Nintendud: I meant is it dodgy - it might be worth trying memtest86 [01:32] Briguy: use nano man, much better [01:32] amphi: no. [01:32] :P [01:32] I seriously doubt it's a RAM issue [01:32] Nintendud: me too, just fumbling for a straw ;) [01:32] Briguy: ESC :wq [01:32] like I said, it worked when I booted into the 386 kernel, but once I uninstalled the 686 kernel and rebooted... segmentation fault again [01:33] if i reconfigure the x server does it have to be running [01:33] I've added a Samba share to my desktop so i can copy files to and from it. Why don't those network connections work when i use the 'browse' function on websites in Firefox? [01:33] Nintendud: but that it worked with the 386 kernel while the 686 one was installed, but not when the 686 was uninstalled makes no sense at all [01:33] amphi: I know. [01:33] MorbidHunger: probably not, maybe it even needs to not run [01:33] i ran it while it was running [01:33] Nintendud: so don't muddy the waters ;) [01:34] but when i put the s3trio in the server bitches at me and wont run [01:34] is it cuz i have onbored video? [01:34] amphi: it might make more sense if I told you that everytime I booted into a different kernel, X would crash on boot and I had to apt-get install and remove nvidia-glx-dev before it would run, and it would continue to work correctly every time I rebooted until I use a different kernel [01:34] er, apt-get remove and install* [01:34] MorbidHunger: a server? video? does a server need a video card? [01:34] dont think so [01:35] but it wont run [01:35] whichj puzzles me [01:35] (might have to do with "nvidia TLS links", since whenever I install it it updates the "nvidia TLS links" [01:35] ) [01:35] any idea why hibernate stopped working in Dapper, it just restarts the system now. [01:35] arr, this is weird [01:35] Nintendud: that's part of the fun of proprietary drivers I believe; just pick a kernel and stick to it, is my advice ;) [01:36] what's a s3trio? or is that a really dumb question? [01:36] DewDude: hibernate sounds like suspend to disk... and yeah.. network connections will be lost [01:36] amphi: well, I still don't know how to fix this. and it's really frustrating me. [01:36] i'm not talking network connections [01:36] this video card i found laying around at school [01:36] i know they get lost [01:36] coucho: some video card chip [01:36] lol k [01:36] coucho: an antique ;) [01:36] heheh [01:36] i'm taking about rather than restoring after syuspend, it just restarts [01:36] i just cant get it to work with ubuntu [01:36] it is very old [01:37] cuz i pretty much stopped all my apps that use networking before i hit hibernate [01:37] Nintendud: pick a kernel, and reinstall all the nvidia packages I'd guess [01:37] my athlon xp died and im stuck on this peece of shit from hell [01:37] hmm [01:37] MorbidHunger: why wont the onboard card work? [01:37] MorbidHunger: i would suggest buying a geforce 4 or something, costs nothing and will work [01:37] well, I'm only using the 386 kernel now [01:38] it does work jsut horrible [01:38] i dont have an agp slot on this mobo [01:38] ...oh..wait...would suspend to disk be dependant on the kernal image you were using? [01:38] hello does anyone know a good APACHE-MYSQL-PHP for ubuntu? [01:38] MorbidHunger, you need to run the reconfigure command after putting in the new card (sorry if you have, I was awy for a sec) [01:38] MorbidHunger: i've got a mx420 and it works perfectly, and it probably exists as pci card too [01:38] DewDude: this is using swsusp? [01:38] MorbidHunger: if it's meant to be a server... an utp cable is more important than vga :P [01:39] umm...i'm hitting hibernate from the log off menu [01:39] it's worked before [01:39] heh [01:39] meh [01:39] Knorrie: you dutch btw? [01:39] coucho: yes [01:39] ah [01:39] ubuntu doesnt even detect my onbored audio [01:39] m2 [01:39] i dont have a fan or a heatsink either [01:39] however, when i was using the wifi earlier, i was using my 386 kernal rather than the 686 because my wifi tends to lock the 686 kernel up [01:39] coucho: i saw you using paste.ubuntunl ;p [01:39] XD [01:39] DewDude: it might be that you need to boot with restore=/dev/foo where /dev/foo is your swap partition, for it to work [01:39] um hello [01:40] Evanescent: hi [01:40] its amazing this thing works [01:40] MorbidHunger: lol [01:40] i should send ug uys pics later [01:40] heh, well, if it's using disk swap, it's probablty already overwritten the session [01:40] MorbidHunger: lol @ onbored audio [01:40] yeah [01:40] :D [01:40] this is where i make myself look really stupid [01:40] ill see if i can get a sound card tomroww [01:40] DewDude: er, s/restore/resume [01:40] MorbidHunger, that's a shame because ubuntu worked on all my hardware [01:40] Evanescent: you're not stupid [01:40] MorbidHunger: you do that [01:40] only thing i can't get running is 3d on my laptop [01:40] its cuz im on a compaq and my karma sucks [01:40] DewDude: and yes, a normal boot will obliterate the session [01:41] !MorbidHunger++ [01:41] can someone tell me how to install ubuntu as a dual boot with 2kpro? [01:41] Morbid fact: On June 29, 1955, the reign of King Haakon VII, who had ruled Norway from the time of its independence in 1905, effectively came to an end when the beloved monarch fell in the royal bathtub at his palace in Oslo. The elderly king lingered on for over two years before succumbing on Setpember 21, 1957, to complications resulting from his fall. [01:41] amphi: alrighty then, no real big loss [01:41] this is horrible guys [01:41] it had worked before..i'll ahve to play with it a bit [01:41] HOLY CRAP [01:41] Evanescent: first install 2k, then install ubuntu [01:41] amphi: reinstalling nvidia stuff and everything worked [01:41] dominion: whiskey tango foxtrot? [01:41] I don't even have to reboot [01:41] my laptop lacks battery, so, if i take it anywhere, i like to sysuspend to disk so i don't have to wait for the boot process [01:41] Does anybody else have problems with Gmail-Notify? [01:42] DewDude: yeah, I use swsusp a lot [01:42] wish application could you recommend me for partitioning my disk???? [01:42] thank you amphi. makes me wonder if I could reinstall the 686 kernel and reinstall nvidia things to get it to work. ;p but I am not doing that today [01:42] ok but will the s3trio conflict with the onbored video? [01:42] Evanescent: the ubuntu installer will overwrite the boot record with a boot-loader, and present w2k and ubuntu choice [01:42] thanks for the help and patience [01:42] DewDude: no need to reboot, evar ;) [01:42] cocox: partition magic [01:42] whats the command to display system information [01:42] coucho, for linux ? [01:42] coucho: no [01:42] XD [01:42] just kidding [01:42] sry [01:42] amphi: yeah, i think my problem was i didn't specify the kernel i suspended with, because i think my ndiswrapper conflicts with 686 [01:43] Can anyone help me please? I have this error message after..... [01:43] _____________________________ [01:43] Failed to start the X server {your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem [01:43] _________________________________ [01:43] cocox: [q|g] parted or cfdisk or ... [01:43] coucho, ( WinROFLING face... ) [01:43] Evanescent: whenever 'repairing' w2k or reinstalling w2k, the windows installer breaks your system [01:43] Knorrie: yeah i've already got 2kpro installed i'm just not sure how to go about installing ubuntu. i downloaded the iso, opened it with undisker and burnt the files to a data disc but it's not bootable [01:43] Khoacalacan. thats the same shit i got [01:43] heh [01:43] Dam anyone know how to fix it??? [01:43] hey, i've like, installed linux, then installed XP, then fixed dual boot [01:43] man, i had some fun with the MBR that day [01:43] install xp than linux [01:43] DewDude: yeah, it's not rocket surgery ;) [01:44] Evanescent: when you burn the iso to a cdrom it should be bootable [01:44] Khoacalacan, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=174537 read this at the end [01:44] Ok thank you [01:44] amphi, dual-booting or my suspend issue [01:44] Khoacalacan, there is the solution [01:44] DewDude: that's not very wise [01:44] DewDude: dual booting [01:44] i should read that roo [01:44] too* [01:44] Thank you cocox [01:44] coucho: i know. I learned my lesson when after resoring my MBR, my XP partition was gone. [01:44] Khoacalacan np :) [01:44] DewDude: ouch XD [01:44] i was able to get that back by telling CFDisk to repartition [01:44] hooray for crappy hardware!! [01:44] coucho: no, cfdisk fixed it in about 2 seconds [01:45] it's been dual-booting ever since [01:45] DewDude: I imagine very Bad Things(TM) will happen if you boot a different kernel than you suspended with and manage to get the session to restore [01:45] DewDude: wow [01:45] amphi, yeah, i totally forgot i had done that. [01:45] Knorrie: even after opening the iso file first? [01:45] DewDude: didn't think that was possible [01:45] cuz i was about ready to throw this out a window earlier [01:45] coucho: sure it is. [01:45] Evanescent: you dont need to open an iso, just burn it byte-by-byte to a cdrom [01:46] i had a drive partition completely disappear once [01:46] Cocox: Is it near the bottom of the topic or the whole thing? [01:46] DewDude: doesn't the xp install completely overwrite the mbr? [01:46] hey i am making a multimedia cd for windows and i want to make an icon for the launcher to launch does anyone know how to do this? [01:46] amphi, what is the difference between qparted, cfdisk or gparted ??? can anybody please tell me wish one is the best ?? [01:46] hello all, just wondering if there is a way to test surround sound in ubuntu? [01:46] coucho: yes, it does [01:46] but..if you partition your drives out [01:46] DewDude: then what? [01:46] back up the MBR, install windows, then restore the MBR, that CAN work [01:46] Evanescent: you're burning in windows? [01:46] provided you don't backup before setting your partitions [01:46] Knorrie: ok i'll try it but if it desn't work i'll be back to haunt you... [01:47] yes [01:47] Evanescent: using what tool? [01:47] cocox: depends for what - one of the parteds if you need to resize some existing partition, otherwise cfdisk for just normally partitioning a disk; there's fdisk and sfdisk as well, but cfdisk is the simplest to use [01:47] nero [01:47] DewDude: so first install linux, backup mbr, install xp, replace mbr? [01:47] coucho: that's one way of doing it IF you want to install linux before windows [01:47] Evanescent: nero should allow you to just 'burn cd image' [01:47] but make sure you have EVERYTHING partitioned out [01:47] coucho: or just reinstall grub [01:47] yeah [01:47] amphi, all those allow me to change mi partiotion size without erase my data ?? [01:47] DewDude: yeah i just installed xp first, seemed easier XD [01:48] you'll need a live or bootcd either way [01:48] Evanescent: i did that some long time ago when i had windows installed :P [01:48] yeah it's being awkward [01:48] Cocox: Is solution near the bottom of the topic or the whole thing? [01:48] my nfs mount stopped working. I didn't change anything, but now I get the message "mount: box:/media/jakarta failed, reason given by server: Permission denied" .. there's nothing in the server or client /var/log/messages and the exports allows 192.168.* ... any suggestions of where I could look now?

[01:48] i need to buy a mobo [01:49] i dont have 60 bucks [01:49] Khoacalacan, excuse me the one before the last post [01:49] MorbidHunger: student life is hard [01:49] yeah [01:49] or...wait..is the NFTS drive in your local machine or are you doing it over LAN using Samba?

I just installed Ubuntu yesterday [02:19] hey [02:19] keithsr: if you have an user "zizou" in the ubuntu server [02:19] adrums20: You mean sudo passwd root, right? [02:19] keithsr: you do smbpasswd zizou [02:19] yes [02:19] keithsr: is this samba? if so samba has its own password list - "sudo smbpasswd -a username" [02:20] adrums20: What happened when you tried that? [02:20] keithsr: then when youre accesing the ubuntu server you type the user zizou and the password you asinght it.. [02:20] let me try bud [02:21] darwin188 -- breaker breaker [02:21] heh? [02:21] i am still here [02:21] darwin188 -- how about /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [02:21] keithsr: try with the same password that is in the linux acount [02:21] yes [02:21] i have it [02:21] yes samba...ihave done that [02:22] Any extensions other than .ppd for printer driver files? Anyone? [02:22] rachbah_ : still holding [02:22] it asks for the password and then I type it in. and back to the prompt it goes [02:22] darwin188 -- can you post it on http://paste-ubuntu.nl.org? [02:22] what shhould i post? [02:22] the problem is that i am on my laptop and i am installing linux on another computer [02:23] lat2bt [02:23] darwin188 -- ok, ok, let me see .... [02:23] adrums20: So it doesn't say "Password updated succesfully"? [02:23] nope [02:24] someone told me to use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but i dont know what to do there [02:24] what do i install to get j++ support? [02:24] adrums20: Odd. [02:24] hi [02:24] amphi you still there ^ [02:24] thats what I thought. I have been reading all day on the posts and nothing works after a fresh install [02:24] when using smbpasswd it gives all options when i use the options it says it had to abort [02:25] grub works, but i cant boot on linux, only windows, when i try to boot on any linux kernel it says error 17 : sda8 not mounted [02:25] adrums20: I'm not quite sure what that means. You could do "sudo grep 'root' /etc/shadow" [02:25] darwin188 -- is the linux box on line then? [02:25] mount /dev/sda8 doesnt work [02:25] adrums20: The second field is a crypted password. [02:25] no its offline [02:25] anyone can help me [02:25] linux is recently installed and unconfigured to do anything [02:25] anyone have any hint for me ? =- what do i install to get j++ [02:25] adrums20: It should be a bunch of jibberish (don't post it here), but it might be a "*". [02:26] adrums20: A "*" indicates no password set. [02:26] but i get to errors [02:26] Helldragon i can try [02:26] darwin188 -- what happens when you try that dpkg command? [02:26] Helldragon: because sda8 is your swap partition, IIRC from your fdisk -l output - what is the kernel command line in grub? [02:26] once I do that command, it goes back to the prompt === sub|at|alpopel is now known as sub|off [02:26] i get into a blue screen [02:26] with options [02:26] for selecting drivers, resolutions, keyboards etc [02:26] i dont understand amphi === sub|off is now known as sub|at|alpopel [02:26] but everythging seems to be selected just fine [02:27] when i do startx [02:27] darwin188 -- ok, that's good. Get there [02:27] adrums20: Wait, you did "sudo grep 'root' /etc/shadow" and got no output? [02:27] i get error of Unable to find a vlaid framebuffer device [02:27] okey [02:27] Helldragon: linux is trying to mount the wrong partition as / AFAICS [02:27] thats correct - nothing [02:27] thats weird [02:27] how can i fix that [02:27] For those of you who know your way around linux, how long did it take for you to get down the basics? [02:27] fdisk -l output says nothing [02:28] im using bash [02:28] adrums20: Ok... Well, do "sudo less /etc/shadow" [02:28] darwin188 -- do you have an option in there to not look for a framebuffer dev? [02:28] <_gus_> where do i setup enviroment variables ? [02:28] nothing goes back to the prompt again [02:28] That should allow you to view the contents of the /etc/shadow file (which contains your crypted passwords). [02:28] someone told me to use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but i dont know i guess [02:28] wait i guess [02:28] Helldragon: in the grub menu, choose linux, hit e, go to the kernel line, and if it says root=/dev/sda8 try changing it to /dev/sda7 [02:28] ok [02:28] adrums20: Hmm...something is very, very messed up there. [02:28] ill try brb [02:28] think a reinstall? [02:29] use kernel framebuffer device interfcace [02:29] yes or no? [02:29] adrums20: Well...that's probably premature. [02:29] darwin188 -- no [02:29] breezy is v5.10, right? [02:29] im still a newbie at this..and I just installed it last night [02:29] Helldragon: then you hit esc and b to boot IIRC - it's been a while [02:29] autodetect keyboard [02:29] darwin188 -- yeap [02:29] Helldragon: er, enter and b [02:30] i skipped all the keyboard stuff [02:30] hey ubuntu started printing error messages any idea what they are? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14343 [02:30] darwin188 -- fine [02:30] anyone else unable to use google search? [02:30] adrums20: Hmm...I have to go. Hopefully someone more knowledgable than me can help. What you're saying should NOT result from a normal install, though, so either you're doing something simple wrong (that I'm just missing) or something was VERY messed up with your install. [02:30] now i am on configuring xserver-xorg..select the x.org server modules that should be loaded by default [02:30] PORDO, works for me [02:30] PORDO: google works from here [02:30] alrighty thanks bud [02:31] adrums20: Good luck. Sorry to run. [02:31] anyone know how to login as root - [02:31] darwin188 -- ok what kind of hardware do you have and what are the choices? I usually just make a reasonable guess [02:31] the first one i bought, yesterday, was a dud..so i took it back today and forgot to return one little piece, still in my pocket. now i have two stylii. [02:31] adrums20: i usually just do 'sudo -i' [02:32] adrums20, can't you just use sudo -s from your normal user instead of logging in with root ? [02:32] the video card is an ati radeon 16 megas [02:32] for some reason after a fresh install, I cant [02:32] i have cohices already selected glcore bitmap ddc dri extmod freetype glx int10 tuupe1 [02:33] after every sudo anything I do, it goes back to the command prompt [02:33] the unselected ones are dbe record and v41 [02:33] nothing happends [02:33] darwin188 -- I think that's straight. Is there a radion on the list? [02:33] j++ help? [02:33] where to get it? [02:34] that list was way at the beginning but yes there was [02:34] its already selected [02:34] darwin188 -- Just don't select for a really high res when you get to that point, and see if it works ; ) [02:34] if i deleted a dir, is there a way to recover it?

[02:49] in cspan i have to use make [02:49] Old: how what looks? I'm on dialup... [02:49] and there is no make in the bin directory [02:49] Look at the picture if you can, thats how the setup looks [02:49] sflash: install build-esential perhaps [02:49] is this correct [02:49] Taru: Well... that's your fault :P [02:49] ok [02:49] Old: setup of what? [02:49] Kuja: 54% :/ [02:50] the webmin [02:50] Kuja: No :P [02:50] amphi, does this command work on ubuntu?: sh start.sh start [02:50] Old: er, I'm not on ubuntu atm ;) [02:50] amphi guess what [02:50] well, does "sh start.sh start" work for debian/ubuntu? Does it even excist? [02:50] amphi: i don't know what card it is? will lspci tell me? [02:51] i had to change the first line :O from hd(0,7) to hd(0,6) [02:51] and it worked [02:51] I think there's where the problem is [02:51] didnt touch the root line [02:51] hello I need help for install emacs....?? [02:51] shiity ass dinner [02:51] in my ubuntu [02:51] Old: you don't need the initial sh if the script is executable [02:51] amphi, apt-get remove amule , and apt-get --purge amule doesnt works!!

[02:52] cocox: how did you install it?

[02:55] cocox: so apt-get remove it [02:55] amphi, im looking at the man dpkg an i know how to uninstall but i must have the name of the package [02:55] cocox: you know the name of the package - it doesn't change after you install it [02:56] Leyendo lista de paquetes... Hecho [02:56] Creando rbol de dependencias... Hecho [02:56] El paquete amule no esta instalado, no se eliminar [02:56] 0 actualizados, 0 se instalarn, 0 para eliminar y 0 no actualizados. [02:56] amphi, i can't remember what is the name of the package... [02:56] cocox: so it's no longer installed [02:56] Where can I get dependancies like glib, sh-utils, file-utils, gawk, textutils and bin/sh? [02:56] so, there's this nifty litlte "digital out" 8mm plug on my Audigy2 card, i assume that means i can somehow connect it to my home theatre box -- is it supported by linux?

[02:59] hi all [02:59] I need to create a 'screen' called speedlink, what is it? screen -R speedlink ? [02:59] oh i forgot: thank you very much for helping me amphi [03:00] Dr_Willis, what kind of wire/connection/converter do you use....and into what input on your stereo?

[03:00] 256AV] (rev 12) [03:00] /dev/sda1 [03:00] HellDragon: yw - it's strange that grub was so misguided - did you move partitions around or something? [03:00] wha tis that? [03:00] Dr_Willis, I need to create a 'screen' called speedlink, what is it? screen -R speedlink ? [03:00] amphi: i just resized a partition with the evil partition magic [03:01] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [03:01] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [03:01] terry, ok, are you using apt-get or synaptic or anything else? [03:01] aahhhhh i want my normal sound back [03:01] ;( [03:01] Old, using screen you can rename the screen sessions. check the screen tutorials.. or you can always edit your .screenrc file and have it create one every time [03:02] now I use both [03:02] its weird [03:02] damn it [03:02] Dr_Willis, i want to create a new one called speedlink? I get a error when starting my game-server with webadmin, the error is:Output from command .. No screen session found. [03:02] terry, apt-cache search emacs | grep emacs [03:02] I guess I have to start a screen called speedlink [03:02] but didn't work [03:02] a ok [03:02] terry, you can only use one at a time [03:02] Old, you sure its not saying you need to have screen running? [03:03] Exactly, I think i need a screen running, but how do i run one ? [03:03] Old, it MAY be refering to the 'screen' command. [03:04] HellDragon: oh, yes, I'd forgotten that you'd sinned ;) [03:04] I need help with my mouse. It sometimes randomly moves around my screen, locks the y-axis and only moves along the x-axis and will randomly click while it moves. Any help? [03:04] or it may be using 'screen session in' a rather vague way. [03:04] im getting crazy [03:04] damn sound [03:04] Kuja: All finished, now what? [03:04] everything plays at 0.5 speed [03:04] Kuja: Reboot? [03:04] damnit [03:05] HellDragon: it's trying to calm you down ;) [03:05] what happened to my sound [03:05] even the sound in my games is slow [03:05] what happened [03:05] Taru: No -- sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:05] Kuja: Okay [03:06] Dr_Willis, yes? that's what im talking about i guess? [03:06] I've got a question about choosing which build of Ubuntu to install. I've got a Athlon 64 processor, but am I correct in understanding Automatix will not work with that build? [03:06] Old, run 'screen' then in a terminal - i guess [03:06] Kuja: Okay it works this time. [03:06] how can I open the emacs....??? [03:06] what happened to my sound !!! nooooooooooooo [03:07] Old: it wants you to start a command in screen with a particular session name? [03:07] exactly [03:07] Taru: Find where it says `Identifier "Generic Video Card"' [03:07] Old: screen -S foo will do that [03:07] amphi, somthing seems - odd about that. do ya think? [03:07] Taru: And below that line should be a Driver "nv", which you should replace the "nv" with "nvidia" (unless it's already done) [03:08] Any mouse help? [03:08] amphi, what's dmS ? [03:08] -dmS [03:08] !pastebin [03:08] Dr_Willis: the whole thing seems odd [03:08] from memory, pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269 [03:08] Old: args to screen - man screen for more ;) [03:09] Old: -d means run detached from a tty [03:09] nickpresta -- how newbie are you? [03:09] Kuja: It's "nv". [03:09] k [03:09] Taru: Change it to "nvidia" [03:09] how to kill all procces including "speedlink" init ? [03:09] Taru: Then hit Control+O and Enter [03:09] I'm familiar with *nix like systems but I haven't had this problem before or the inner workins of X so I don't know how to fix it/diagnose it. [03:09] nickpresta -- do you know how to look at /etc/X11/Xorg.conf ? [03:09] yeah [03:09] It looks fine to me [03:09] Kuja: Okay, done. [03:10] Taru: Afterwards, exit nano (Ctrl+X) then type: 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start', then you should be at the login screen. At which point you type your username and password. [03:10] nickpresta -- take a look see what your mouse driver is listed at there [03:10] amphi, how do i kill all procces having "speedlink" in their name ? [03:10] Kuja: Okay! [03:10] Old: 'pgrep speedlink' will show what pids match speedlink [03:10] Old: IMHO, a sane way to do this is to have the script start the server and write the PID to a pidfile in, say, /var/run, and then the stop script will just kill [-9] `cat /var/run/$PIDFILE` [03:10] gave me nada.. [03:11] Old: 'pkill speedlink' should kill them all im not so used to it but i belive it will. [03:11] nickpresta -- it will be near the top under Section "InputDevice" [03:11] didnt work [03:11] I have a few "screen -R speedlink" running [03:11] can anyone help me with ndiswrapper...

My card is on the compatablity list, but it doesn't appear to work, can anyone please tell me how to get this working? is it even compatable? [03:13] Kuja: Let me log XChat on my computer now.

[03:14] :S [03:14] Kuja: Finally on my computer. [03:14] Okay cool. [03:14] I accidendly deleted some things from the notification area (Speaker icon etc) how do I get them back? [03:14] Kuja: It was already there. [03:14] Taru: sudo apt-get install gtkpod exfalso [03:15] Kuja: Okay. [03:15] If someone can help me with this, I will love you forever. It's not much, but it has promise =) [03:16] Kuja: Separately? [03:16] Taru: Just that entire command [03:16] Run it from gnome-terminal [03:16] Kuja: I did that and it didn't find it. [03:16] Oh.. hmm [03:16] im getting crazy [03:16] damn sound [03:16] Kuja: I ran GTKPOD only. [03:17] I've got a question about choosing which build of Ubuntu to install. I've got a Athlon 64 processor, but am I correct in understanding Automatix will not work with that build? [03:17] Taru: 'sudo apt-get install gtkpod' -- Doesn't work? [03:17] HellDragon, you cant reboot? [03:17] you'd sacrifice cpu power just to use automatrix? [03:18] !automatrix [03:18] Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, thrice` [03:18] Kuja: No, "gtkpod exfalso" together didn't work. [03:18] I'm a complete beginer, so yes if that's what it takes to make it look beter, I'd cosider it. [03:18] Kuja: Now "sudo apt-get install exfalso" is not working for me. [03:18] Taru: Type: sudo apt-get install gtkpod [03:18] Kuja: That is done. [03:19] Taru: Connect your iPod. [03:19] Kuja: It is connected. [03:19] I can't even seem to get it to recognise my resolution can go above 1024. [03:19] Kuja: "E Couldn't find package exfalso" [03:19] Taru: Forget about exfalso for now. [03:19] Hi Guys - I accidendly deleted some things from the notification area (Speaker icon etc) how do I get them back? [03:19] Kuja: Okay. [03:20] Taru: Type: gtkpod [03:20] Kuja: Okay. [03:20] Taru: Then see if you can read from your iPod. [03:20] Kuja: Yes, that works. [03:20] So all your music is there? [03:20] Kuja: Let me check. [03:21] Kuja: Yes, it's all there. [03:21] =) [03:21] anyone with any wine experience? [03:21] Kuja: Hashed 400/400. [03:22] Kuja: Time to remove the horrible songs :P [03:22] anyone know why my /dev/dsp is permanently 'busy' even though alsa is supposed to be mixing and emulating oss? [03:22] @I_Love_DRM: Right click on your taskbar and click "Add Applet/Application to Panel" [03:22] Taru: What horrible songs? [03:22] Hi Mau [03:23] thrice`: Any idea of how much cpu power I would be sacrificing for asthetics? [03:23] Kuja: Placebo.... :P === mheath[laptop] _ is now known as mheath[laptop] [03:23] Taru: Screw you [03:23] Kuja: >< [03:23] hi there [03:24] I_Love_DRM: right click the panel, add to panel [03:24] Kuja: Now, why the hell won't exfalso work??

[03:25] yup [03:25] Taru: It says there's no installation candidate for exfalso? [03:25] suspekt: Is it a wine problem that you have, or should you just set your entire desktop to 640x480 before activating wine? [03:25] hypnox: you're sure /dev/dsp permissions are correct? [03:25] Kuja, No, but Azureus says that :/ [03:26] +rw for group audio [03:26] yeah - i made a server setup with apache2 using a falsh drive to show people [03:26] Taru: Setting up Java is a bit more complicated. [03:26] hypnox: what if you just chmod 777 /dev/dsp? [03:26] Kuja: "E: Couldnt' find package exfalso" [03:26] Kuja: I see. [03:26] bur[n] er: yeah - i made a server setup with apache2 using a falsh drive to show people [03:27] nope.. its busy not permission problems [03:27] hypnox: you perhaps need to use the alsa dmix plugin [03:27] hypnox: ok ok, i believe you... i don't know hte answer though :\ [03:27] Taru: Type: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:27] Kuja: Okay.

[03:29] not exactly true... by any sense of the word guru [03:30] hoaryLiveCD: I've installed a few debian machines as simpel samba servers, but that's the extent [03:30] Ubuntu is as close to perfect as could be for ANY OS [03:30] bur[n] er: do you like windows server better than linux [03:30] I need install tomcat on dapper. where I find good howto? [03:30] bur[n] er: then you can peacefully liberate their machines when they have to upgrade for vista ;) [03:30] hoaryLiveCD: i haven't found a good exchange replacement yet, but I wouldn't say I "like" windows ;) [03:30] i was just able to enable ati drivers after trying for days yay !

[03:43] MorbidHunger: yes, via alien [03:43] <_pm> let me try it [03:43] MorbidHunger: but it's desirable to find a deb instead of an rpm [03:43] Old: try System Monitor and Kill first one [03:43] hoaryLiveCD, system monitor? [03:44] Old: or just "killall screen" [03:44] No i run other screen commands aswell [03:44] meh [03:44] ill jsut run apt-get [03:44] Kuja: Says, "The nickname [Taru] is already registered." [03:44] Old: Applications-> System Tools-> System Monitor [03:44] can I use blackdown's JDK instead of Sun JDK for tomcat? [03:44] I dont run graphical ubuntu, I run ubuntu server. [03:45] Taru: Haha sucker. [03:45] Kuja: ? [03:45] Old: you can use "ps ax" and "kill (PID#)" [03:45] Taru: Anyways, you made the changes I told you to, right? [03:45] Kuja: Yes. [03:45] or killall speedlink [03:45] Taru: Then from the terminal type: sudo apt-get update [03:46] <_pm> if i install the beta version, how can i update it when the final version comes out? a apt-get upgrade will do the updatE? [03:46] Kuja: I did. [03:46] Kuja: Doing it again lol. [03:46] Kuja: "Done" [03:46] Taru, when typing someones name, ex, if he is named "kuja" type, ku then press *tab*, the nick will pop-up [03:47] Taru: Now try installing exfalso again. [03:47] Old: Okay, thanks ^^ [03:47] I cannot use sun-j2sdk for dapper. which repository use??? [03:47] np Taru [03:47] Old: I typed "Ku" and pressed *tab* and nothing; ; [03:47] hmmm, there seems like there's no wine package for 64 breezy in the wine repository, does that mean i have to get the source and build it myself? [03:47] Taru: what client? [03:48] exactly, what mirc client are you using... ? [03:48] XChat [03:48] Taru: Because my nickname is in lowercase. [03:48] It doesn't start with 'K', it starts with 'k' [03:48] Kuja: Oh! [03:48] Taru: xchat does tab completion I believe [03:48] kuja, There! [03:48] ;) [03:48] :) [03:48] lol [03:48] Taru: irssi'll deal with case errors [03:49] amphi, Thanks^^ [03:49] amphi: He's new, better not introduce him to ncurses madness. [03:49] lol [03:49] amphi, I see^^ [03:49] kuja: "ncurses's austere beauty", shurely ;) [03:50] I give up with webmin [03:50] 5hours, waste of time. [03:50] Old: just use ssh ;) [03:50] I cant, it's annoying :(( [03:50] kuja, "E: Couldn't find package exfalso" [03:50] Hm... [03:50] I want to give my users access trough a page, so they can start/close their server [03:51] Um, is exfalso only in the Dapper repositories? Anyone know? [03:51] Old: ah... [03:51] easy login, or whatever. 1 account, whatever. I just need it.. [03:52] is it possible to install the system (dapper flight4) permanently WITHOUT using the espresso installer? [03:52] amphi, you got any clues of how todo an alias? ex ./speedlink would do screen ./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 12 -port 27031 +map de_dust2 % ? [03:52] Old: why not just have the server start at boot time? [03:52] amphi [03:52] woot, good idea [03:52] how todo that? :D [03:52] goodmorning [03:53] Old: write an init script for it, stick it in /etc/init.d and use update-rc.d to make the runlevel symlinks [03:53] anyone know how to turn off how windows redraw while you move them? [03:53] Old: you could use an existing script as a skeleton, and modify it [03:53] Taru: Not sure what's wrong with exfalso [03:53] zenlunatic: I know in openbox ;) [03:53] amphi, where is it ? [03:53] Old: where is what? [03:54] amphi, hey its jhenn [03:54] nevermind, how would a init.d script look like ? [03:54] kuja, :/ [03:54] zenlunatic: I suspected as much ;) [03:54] Old: look at some of the ones in /etc/init.d [03:54] can i use cd /home/blabla and underneeth it start the server ? [03:55] Old: why do you need to do that? [03:55] amphi, how would it else know where to start the server? [03:55] Old: what do you mean, where? Where the binary is? [03:56] amphi, the dir is /home/speedlink/ and the command is: ./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 12 -port 27031 +map de_dust2 % [03:56] I dont even know how a init.d script looks like, I looked at it , but i dont know how it works out. Should "PATH=" be init aswell? [03:57] Could you perhaps give me an example on pastebin amphi ? [03:57] Old: you can specify absolute paths [03:57] I'll write one, one second [03:57] and show you how i did it [03:57] !pastebin [03:57] rumour has it, pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269 [03:58] yo how do i know whats my user name [03:58] Hi... does any body running xgl? [03:58] amphi, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14425 - would this work? [03:58] mugzie: whoami [03:59] mugzie: type that at a terminal [03:59] ok [03:59] your bur[n] er [03:59] Old: I have no idea, I know nothing about that server [04:00] Old: for instance, what is the +map arg? does that need to point at some data file? [04:00] amphi, it's a game-server, I just need to know if that looks correctly (dont bother about the ./hlds_run path) [04:00] test [04:00] omg im still on!?? [04:00] amph, no no, dont bother about the ./hlds_run line, it's correct [04:00] n e 1 c this? [04:00] mr_foamfingermak, no [04:00] mr_foamfingermak, we dont see it, type something.. [04:00] Old: why are you using screen? [04:01] what should i use? Im new to ubuntu [04:01] I feel so pathethic sometimes... [04:01] Taru: Try installing Gaim too: sudo apt-get install gaim [04:01] screen is a useful tool [04:01] Tidus: why would you run a server in screen? [04:01] when i type in codes like this one [04:01] what should i use iyho ? [04:02] wine "/home/USERNAME/.wine/c/Program Files/Windows Media Player/mplayer2.exe" it says file not found [04:02] Old: does it spew messages to the console while it's running? [04:02] amphi: so you dont have to leave the terminal open. [04:02] yes [04:02] but for some reason i dont see internet explorer or anything [04:02] how do i run a deb [04:02] if i close putty without screen, = the server dies. [04:02] Tidus: daemons normally run detached from a terminal [04:02] i run game servers in screen all the time. [04:02] but most game servers hang on to the terminal [04:02] Tidus: oh, ok, perhaps you can help Old [04:02] I reckognize you from somewhere Tidus? [04:02] kuja, Okay. [04:03] kuja, I had to make rice. [04:03] Old: dunno... [04:03] like we said, it doesnt work for everything [04:03] Old: maybe #boinc? [04:03] Tidus, where do you work at, do you use qnet? [04:03] what is the command to make swap space? [04:03] perhaps an old staff member? [04:03] kuja, I would leave it out for 1 hour... but someone is coming so I just cook it now.

[04:05] You and your silly Filipino cooking style. [04:05] Taru: not true! [04:05] lol [04:05] Hard rice sucks :P [04:05] Kyral: Try soft rice ; ; [04:05] I know ; ; [04:05] I just tried to put away 5 cups of the stuff [04:05] lol [04:05] DIDN'T HAPPEN! [04:05] O.O [04:06] !offtopic [04:06] Non Ubuntu support related discussions may be carried out in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic. Editor/Language wars are welcome there! [04:06] meh [04:06] c'mon, its not like there was any active support going on here :P [04:07] when using wine do u have to like always have it open or how do u install programs? === blanky is now known as blank_ [04:07] you have to have win open while running programs? [04:07] s/win/wine/ [04:08] I think most wine users get confused about it or how it works. [04:08] doesn't wine work on 64 bit ubuntu ? [04:08] you have to use the "wine" program to preface the install command I think [04:08] and on some distros it "associates" with wine automagically [04:08] but I have no clue, I don't use Wien [04:09] wine even [04:09] so letssay i wanna install windows media player 9 how would i do that [04:09] hey, my second HD on my new install of UBUNTU seems to be mounted as Root, making it so that I effectively cant use it for anything, I can make folders in it, but not any other files, any ideas on how to fix? [04:09] how do i force the intall of a .deb [04:09] mugzie: Install VLC :P [04:09] MorbidHunger: not wise [04:09] true [04:10] i dont have chkconfig installed by default.. whats the equivalent in ubuntu? [04:10] anyway to tweak which daemons i want to enable.. etc. [04:10] um naw i just wanted windows 11 i just used 9 as a example [04:10] kuja, Gaim was already installed to the newest version. [04:10] Okay cool. [04:10] kuja, I want exfalso! [04:10] You can run it if you want to get on MSN. [04:10] T`: sysvconf? [04:10] MorbidHunger, dpkg --force-help [04:11] T`: or something like that [04:11] dont hqave that either.. hmm [04:11] T`: you have to install it :P [04:11] so i just install a program regularly with wine [04:11] ? [04:11] hey guys I'm installing ubuntu for the first time and came to a problem. What is "postinst warning: overwriting possible-customised configuration file"? [04:11] MorbidHunger: why do you want to force it? === Compuqiz is now known as Compuwiz [04:12] mugzie, first off, you can't install EVERYTHING with wine [04:12] mugzie, it has to be supported. [04:12] yea i understand that [04:12] i cant seem to get the ati control panel working. so i got the file that it said it needed and it wont install [04:12] hmmm is paltalk supported [04:12] ? [04:12] mugzie, go to the wine website for a list of supported programs. [04:12] Compuwiz: if it's a first install, you can ignore that IMHO [04:12] brb [04:12] whats the wine website again hehe [04:12] the power of google is awesome. [04:12] www.winehq.com [04:13] thanks [04:13] heh. [04:13] any ideas on how to make my second HD accessible to all users? [04:13] yeah it is the first install [04:13] any ideas on how to make my second HD accessible to me? [04:13] but now I'm stuck at a command prompt and I dont know how to continue [04:13] MorbidHunger, if it won't install, forcing it will not make it work. [04:13] it says it cant overrite some file [04:14] where the supported programz list located at? [04:14] perhaps permissions are bad? And make sure you *want* it to overwrite that file. (whatever it may be) [04:15] meh [04:15] so I need to change the permissions of that one file? [04:15] is there a package for gimp 2.3? [04:15] anyone running ubuntu on a laptop? [04:15] Compuwiz, that was my reply for MorbidHunger not you [04:15] oh, haha. my bad [04:15] !tell T` about ask [04:16] i'm curious if you guys do any harddisk power management [04:16] T`: I use hdparm to spin down the disk here [04:16] ok the program is ok paltalk is supported so do i just install regular o how would i do that? [04:16] amphi, manually? [04:16] amphi, or you run the daemon? [04:16] i see soemthing in /etc/init.d [04:16] T`: no, an acpi script sets the timeout [04:17] amphi, umm i c.. where can i find that? think you can help me set that up please? === thev is now known as theverant [04:17] mugzie, looks like you need to read about using wine. Please do so. [04:17] T`: look at the scripts under /etc/acpi [04:17] Why is that I cannot connect to my hotmail through konqueror? I give the right passw but it don't access my account? I think it is about certificate, but i do not know how to set up them. [04:17] amphi, i got a bunch of them [04:17] T`: there may well be a gui tool in gnome for this; I wrote my scripts myself [04:17] kuja, To move all my songs to my harddrive from i-pod, do I extract them from database? [04:18] theres a winechat right? [04:18] ...any ideas how to fix the postinst error? [04:18] mugzie: http://www.winehq.org/site/howto [04:18] Taru: Probably [04:18] amphi, are these scripts executed when you press buttons or something? where are those hooks? [04:18] kuja, Okay. [04:18] or perhaps acpi events [04:18] is there a way to edit the gnome keychain [04:18] T`: pm? [04:18] sure [04:19] hi all [04:19] New user here, I'm running this from a cd, is there any way to get to my hard drive? [04:20] Quartlow, yes, get the install cd, and then run the installer [04:20] T`: bah, you're not identified to services [04:20] oops.. sec [04:20] anyony here can help me on how can i repair my grub? [04:20] amphi, actually i am [04:20] h3h_timo, so it can't be done from the live cd then? [04:20] -NickServ- You have already identified [04:21] Quartlow, not to my knowledge [04:21] Cool, thanks for the quick answer. h3h. I snooped around and couldn't figure it out. [04:21] how do I get my cups client to show printers that are broadcast/shared on the network ? [04:21] Quartlow, there should be an icon from your desktop... double click on that and it should run esspresso installer....unless you have an older version of ubuntu, but i know dapper has it... does breezy too [04:22] kuja, It is saying that the songs did not match file type and so it will not export all my songs... [04:22] Quartlow, maybe ^^ that works [04:22] lol [04:22] Wonder what happened to my songs on my i-pod. [04:22] Taru: Err, figure it out later. [04:22] ><\ [04:22] I think I need to try and sleep a little bit now [04:22] Laser the only one on the dektop is one for the cdrom. [04:22] Sleep >< [04:22] Peace Kuja! [04:22] how can i repair my grub? i can boot to my ubuntu when i installed windows.. anyone can help me? [04:22] Quartlow what version of the Ubuntu live CD do you have [04:22] Taru: Just leave your computer on. [04:23] kuja, lol [04:23] can I create a new partition in my empty space on the same drive that my running ubuntu is on? [04:23] Good question, I just downloaded the iso yesterday and this only the second time i've used it. Kind of test driving [04:24] 2.21 [04:24] how can i repair my grub? i can boot to my ubuntu when i installed windows.. anyone can help me? [04:24] Quartlow: It should definitely be possible to access your hard drive from the live CD. It's also very likely to be read-only access. How easy it'll be to set up is another question [04:24] how do you open the gnome keychain? [04:24] 10/30/2005 [04:24] !tell tagabasak_ about grub [04:25] anyone here hi.. i installed ati drivers.. now i installed cedega im running diablo 2 a windows 98 game with 8mb video and im lagging my FPS are suuky in the game.. [04:25] Anyone know why I cannot apt-get frostwire or exfalso? [04:25] !exfalso [04:25] h3h_timo: Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/ [04:25] Keeps saying "E: Couldn't find package frostwire" [04:25] what is exfalso [04:25] exfalso yes please! [04:26] Managu, read only would be fine. I just wanted access to my bookmarks, some jpg and mp3 files. [04:26] I just want to get more familar with it before I go trying to install it [04:26] exfalso is a program that allows you to organize song tabs and stuff. [04:26] ladies and gents, good evening [04:26] I have a little question [04:27] h3h_timo, Like make all your songs look neat and in good order in your computer and i-pod. [04:27] why is it that my at jobs seem to hang when they were issued by my normal user, while it all works wonderfully well when issued by root? [04:28] quartlow: I don't know offhand how to find the partition using the gui. From the command line, you can "sudo fdisk -l" (careful, dangerous command if mistyped! that's a lowercase L) to find the partition name of your windows drive. If you've got nothing special installed and only 1 hard drive, it's probably /dev/hda1 (first partition on primary master drive). [04:29] I DID something weird tonight... [04:30] it's kinda driving me nuts, my username isn't listen in /etc/at.deny, but my at jobs seem to run forever without actually doing anything [04:30] i was sitting in an caf in san francisco, typing esperanto in a jabber conference room on my nokia 770 over a wi-fi connection. [04:30] quartlow: once that's done, you can type "sudo mount /mnt -o umask=777" to mount that partition under /mnt. It will then be accessible under the gui at places -> filesystem -> mnt === rayonp is now known as Cadaveria [04:32] i've got a ipod problem. i'm using 5.10 and installed banshee and gtkpod but my computer isn't registering the ipod properly [04:32] Mangu, I tried the mount command, once I found a terminal. as mount /dev/hda1 . and got the response can't find /dev/hda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [04:33] Quartlow, is your partition an NTFS or a FAT one? [04:33] quartlow: "sudo mount /dev/hda /mnt -o umask=777" [04:33] in the wiki it mentions something for hoary and i was thinking of trying it, is it a bad idea-- does anyone have any ideas? [04:33] quartlow: sorry, /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/hda [04:34] Mang, the sudo mount line returned this,,, you must specify file system type [04:34] http://www.hilineeng.com/electrical_controls/food_processing/food_processing.jpg [04:35] quartlow: that's unfortunate. Even with the correction I made? [04:35] PsYchotic , i'm guessing fat since it has windows installed [04:35] hey i just installed something but i dont see it in my application where are the stuff i installed at with wine? [04:36] a newbie question here, what is the default root password for ubuntu live cd 5.10? [04:36] coz if it's fat, you need to mount it like this "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /media/whatever -o umask=777" [04:36] ok sorry Manugo, now I get no such file or directory [04:36] tagabasak_: there is no root password [04:36] anyone know [04:36] Managu, ok thnx [04:36] how can i setup printers? whats the Gnome program to do it? i dont use Gnome so i need to know the progrma name.. [04:36] mugzie: ~/.wine/c_drive/Program Files/ [04:36] Managu, how can i use the root privilegde [04:36] mugzie: or something similar [04:37] !root [04:37] Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information. [04:37] Managu, when i typed su it ask me to enter a password? [04:37] in terminal and there a way to add it to my start bar or something? [04:37] tagabasak_: yup. And since there's no root password, "su" will always fail. [04:37] tagabasak_: in the 'expert' install you can set it up to have a root password (i did this time, on accident) [04:38] Managu, ok i get it now, i just type sudo -i [04:38] tagabasak_: you would use sudo in stead, and if you REALLY want it you can do sudo passwd [04:38] Can someone help me with printing? [04:38] Quartlow: which isn't found? /dev/hda1 or /mnt? [04:38] pianoboy3333: i'm in the same boat, i dont use Gnome and dont know the program to setup up printers :/ [04:39] Managu, ok i get it now, i just type sudo -i [04:39] Quartlow: even better... what command did you decide on, exactly? === sub|at|alpopel is now known as sub|off [04:39] tagabasak_: well, yes, that's an option. Though spending all ones time as the root user is generally considered poor practice. [04:39] Hi all. How can I kill a proccess that wont kill with kill -9 [04:39] itrebal, System->Administration->Printing (I believe) [04:39] im so confused [04:40] eggzeck: that would make sense if i used gnome, but i dont (which is hte issue) [04:40] does anyone have any usb device/ipod knowledge that they could share? [04:40] itrebal, oh I'm so sorry, I didn't read up [04:40] mugzie: wine doesn't integrate incredibly well with the gui. If that sort of integration is important, you might investigate commercial software like CrossoverOffice or Cedega [04:40] OK Mangu now I get mount point media/hda1 does not exist [04:41] Can someone help me with printing? [04:41] ok but i just wana know how to open the program i just installed aka paltalk [04:41] Quartlow: what command did you decide on? Could you type it here, letter by letter? [04:41] how do you add a disk permanently via the disks manager? [04:42] mugzie: probably the easiest thing to do is (a) cd to it's installed directory, and (b) run its executable with "wine blah.exe". [04:42] pianoboy3333: nobody can help if they don't know whats wrong [04:42] ok it shows it installed [04:42] mugzie or possibly even using nautilus -- I think there's an association installed by default [04:42] are there no Gimp 2.3 packages in apt-get? [04:42] does any body here runs xgl? [04:42] mugzie: what shows who installed, and how? [04:42] managu im so confused what ur saying lol im so new to this [04:42] this one,,,sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /media/hda1 -o umask=777 [04:43] pianoboy3333: did you look in system-->admin-->printers [04:43] in the maine menu of winetools i hit installed programs and it shows the program [04:43] hell, i'll go into gnome :/ [04:43] all i wanna know is how can i open it is there a shortcut or what [04:43] mugzie: I'm probably not gonna be much help then, sorry. [04:43] Looking to install Ubuntu 5.10 on an old compaq PIII 500 with an odd notebook style CD-ROM CD-224E (Teac 24x). Could someone advise what would be the best driver to use? Generic is awful slow [04:44] I am having an error on installation: "Failed to start the X server (your ghapical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagose the pronblem?" I have tried the command [sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg] again to try re-configure and try different values, but nothing. The error happens on the page asking about the color depth, I tried the default of 24 and went all [04:44] Aphostile: driver for what? [04:44] Quartlow: what happens when you try "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt -o umask=777" [04:44] I not found sun's java SDK on dapper. I enabled multiverse, universe. howto install sun's java SDK? [04:44] CD-rom [04:44] Aphostile: is dma enabled? [04:45] oh shit, wrong error [04:45] no error that time Managu!! just came back with a command line. [04:45] quartlow: If there's an error message, and you don't completely understand it, then copying the error message right down to the letter is important, as it is much more helpful for us to diagnose what's going on. [04:45] it's a dma device, yes. I have not gone thru with the install yet because of the CD-Rom troubles with the live [04:45] I am having an error on installation: "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possible-customised configuration file" I have tried the command [sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg] again to try re-configure and try different values, but nothing. The error happens on the page asking about the color depth, I tried the default of 24 and went all the way down to 8 bits and it still crashes. Any suggestions? [04:45] there, that is the write error. my mistake [04:46] quartlow: ok, good. From the menu at the top of the screen, go Places->Filesystem. Look under the "mnt" folder [04:46] so banshee will get the mp3 info from the ipod but be unable to play them and i can't eject the ipod, it only (improperly) unmounts. breezy (with banshee or gtkpod) is supposed to be able to deal with ipods [04:47] does ati has problems with cedega? [04:47] Compuwiz: It would probably be quite helpful if you could pastebin, or otherwise give us all a copy of your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:47] ok. its there, but when I click on it it tells me "you do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "mnt" [04:47] Compuwiz: I realize that might be a bit tricky when you lack a gui, of course. [04:47] Aphostile: you could google and see if there's a specific driver for it [04:47] Yeah I wasn't having much luck there [04:48] haha, yeah I have no idea how to do that.... [04:48] Quartlow: hrmm. /bonk me, I got the command wrong. "sudo umount /mnt" and then "sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt -o umask=000" [04:48] LOL [04:48] especially when my computer that im installing linux on isnt connected to any internet/network... [04:48] Hey amphi, care to know what fixed my wireless? [04:48] Compuwiz: oh? Getting it connected to a network would definitely be helpful [04:49] Compuwiz: there really isn't enough information in the stuff you've pasted above to diagnose your problem [04:49] haha, getting it installed would be a better step first [04:49] uhm [04:49] let me see if I can get more information [04:49] !tell compuwiz about flood [04:49] Good job Managu!!!!!!!!! [04:50] Quartlow: that task should be easier, and I'm not sure why there wasn't just an icon on your desktop to do all that [04:50] quartlow: but then, I'm only really an intermediate user [04:50] it seems like perhaps r*dh*t supports it but they suck [04:50] well I'm only a second time user, so you look like an expert to me [04:51] now I just have to write that command down [04:51] haha thanks, I get a little [enter] happy online. here is a path it gives me for the file. /ect/X11/xorg.conf.############# [04:51] Aphostile: what's the problem, it's just a bit slow> [04:51] ? [04:52] can anyone tell me why this command: "sudo tar zcvf backup myhomedir/ --exclude=myhomedir/.gconf" doesnt exclude correctly, but "sudo tar zcvf backup myhomedir/* --exclude=myhomedir/.gconf" (note the * after myhomedir) does? [04:52] is there any way to get the disks manager to add to /etc/fstab? [04:52] or should I just do it directly [04:52] can someone help me with a HD problem? [04:52] Well slow and the no eject thing but there is a program to solve that no? [04:52] Compuwiz: you want to look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log for lines that start with "(EE)". One way to do that is to type "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and then press the keys [/] [E] [E] [Enter] [04:53] I am a bit of a Linux newbie... I had red hat installed once awhile back... and i have worked with linux before so I'm not like totally clueless [04:53] :) [04:53] Aphostile: no eject> [04:53] ? [04:54] you have at least 'skimmed the manual' lol. [04:54] it won't eject the cds [04:54] okay I will try that [04:54] if a program is accessing the cd they will be 'locked' [04:54] Aphostile: it won't eject a live cd (unless you use the cp to ramdisk option (if it has one)) [04:54] Well I've been a unix computer operator for years so I do know a little [04:54] many live cds have a 'toram' option you can use at boot time. [04:55] Manago and psYchotic... Thanks for the help!!!!!!! Now I can play around some [04:55] Quartlow: have fun =) [04:55] ahh ok [04:55] oh i will [04:55] well i guess ill just go ahead with the slowness and work my way out... i have the sound card params [04:55] thanks [04:55] hi [04:55] i have a p3 1ghz 256 ram well breezy run fine? [04:56] should run 'ok' [04:56] OPP: might be a little slow in the graphics department, but otherwise should be fine. [04:56] Aphostile: once you have ubuntu installed, you may be able to tweak it [04:56] may want to use a light weight window manager. (like xfce) [04:56] ya [04:56] i dont want to do games or anything [04:56] just like watch movies or play music [04:56] OPP: openbox is pleasant [04:56] openbox, is that a window manageR? [04:57] one of the many XYXbox variants. FLuxbox, openbox, blackbox.. but MatchBox is Not related to the other Box's :P [04:57] i'm having troubles with my repositories [04:57] cool [04:57] I've got some major install problems... I've tried installing dapper flight 5 and breezy both from working cd's. breezy gets to the first reboot and then fails to load the kernel, so I edit the path to / instead of /boot and it loads but then fails to load some important modules and then I get 'can't access tty; job control turned off' i have a shell but it can't do much. [04:58] will drake run you think? [04:58] dapper fails installing the base system chroot fails because it can't find apt-get [04:58] metalhedd, did you test the discs ? [04:58] yes [04:58] both good [04:59] what partitioning did you use? [04:59] How can I download and install java through command line?

Is this due to the page where it asks me to locate the position of it like PCI location and such? Also, stupid question...I did what you said, and now I cannot exit out of that log?

[05:15] tagabasak_, okay, " mkdir /mnt/hda2 && mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 " [05:15] tagabasak_: sorry, those wiki articles have much better info than I have [05:15] It seems the most likely candidate is Shuttleworth.. Is there some way to contact him directly? [05:15] Or should I just go to church, look up and speak directly ? : ) [05:15] metalhedd, did u find any solution for my problem??? [05:15] orangey: heh [05:15] mr_foamfingermak: hehehehe ; ) === xsmogx is now known as smog [05:15] I pulled an old hd that had windows xp loaded on it. any idea on best way to extract the emails on thunderbird to my ubuntu thunderbird? [05:15] Compuwiz: ancient card, ehh? [05:16] amphi: To be honest, I wouldn't even ask, but when I wanted to talk to RMS about http://blogs.zmag.org (the blog for a large left publication that we were trying to take free software), I emailed him and he responded.. [05:16] Cryptid, sudo apt-get update [05:16] with nothing else after update [05:16] mdli, got it now [05:17] ny1 knows how to package python code? [05:17] dli,got it now [05:17] metalhedd, i get this error when i execute that command http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14429 [05:17] metalhedd: should we not encourage the use of synaptic for this? [05:17] tagabasak_, " chroot /mnt/hda2 /bin/bash --login " [05:17] orangey: it's worth a try, but I don't have his email addr [05:17] amphi: I can't really find an email address for him is the thing. [05:17] orangey: what happened with zmag? [05:17] any suggestions where I might find it? [05:17] orangey, synaptic doesn't give very useful error messages [05:18] amphi: blogs.z is now running drupal. The whole project is expected to go to free software by jan 1 2007. [05:18] dli,done [05:18] orangey: google? (ie. no idea, sorry) [05:18] orangey: cool [05:18] Cryptid, sorry, I'm on a liveCD. the browser takes about 1.5 minutes to launch [05:18] orangey: https://launchpad.net/people/sabdfl [05:18] amphi: If you're interested in joining the project, check out http://znet.2y.net , or email me directly. [05:18] tagabasak_, check whether your /boot directory is okay, in the same terminal, " ls -l /boot/ " [05:18] hey does any1 know if executables created in linux can be executed in windows? [05:19] metalhedd, shit man i guess i will come back some other time i might get some help then [05:19] metalhedd, amphi bye [05:19] derek__: generally (almost always) the answer is "no" [05:19] dli, owner=root group=root [05:19] ok thx [05:19] tagabasak_, what about files under /boot/ ? [05:19] I pulled an old hd that had windows xp loaded on it. any idea on best way to extract the emails on thunderbird to my ubuntu thunderbird? [05:20] how can i know the name of a .deb package for uninstall it ??, for example if i install once amsn and now i need to uninstall it, how can i know the complete name of the package ?? [05:20] tagabasak_, okay, " grub-install /dev/hda " [05:20] !apt-get [05:20] [apt-get] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/apt-howto.en.txt (in depth) and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto [05:20] cocox: alternately, you might use Synaptic to uninstall it [05:21] cocox: probably save you a bit of headache [05:21] bimberi: thank you. It seems like his email address is hard to come by, but perhaps I'll contact the shuttleworth foundation and see how that goes. [05:21] dli,a second [05:21] Managu, but there is a way using script by console ?? [05:21] cocox: sure. That was what Dr_Willis offered, via ubotu. Here's a repeat [05:21] !tell cocox about apt-get [05:22] orangey: there are email addresses on that page (bottom left) [05:22] hola [05:22] bimberi: aha! Thank you. [05:22] Managu, of course thnx but my question was in the beggining how can i know the name of the package that i installed once , plz be patient [05:22] any idea on best way to extract the emails on thunderbird to my ubuntu thunderbird? [05:22] cocox: brief summary: use "apt-cache search blahpackagestiff" to get the package name (less any version info, dates, builds, etc), then "apt-get remove package name" === Smokeh is now known as lolipod [05:23] orangey: np :) [05:23] I pulled an old hd that had windows xp loaded on it. any idea on best way to extract the emails on thunderbird to my ubuntu thunderbird? [05:23] history [05:23] Managu, i'll check this howto thank u !! [05:23] cocox: I suppose I don't understand. If this is a one-time thing, why not just use the gui tools? [05:24] Managu, yes but i prefer to get involve with the console commands for use them anytime without a GUI [05:25] Cocox: *shrug* ok, as you like it. Right tool for the job and all. [05:25] cocox: good on yer ;) [05:26] amphi, i didnt understand your phrase lol [05:26] cocox: no worries [05:26] Managu, thank u ;) [05:26] dli, i got an error, it says that /dev/hda does not have corresponding bios drive [05:27] heh, me either. I took it as a cross between "good for you" and "looks good on you" [05:27] can anyone help me please, I need to get GRUB fixed [05:27] linux_newbie2: read the wiki howtos? [05:27] tagabasak_, sorry, my fault [05:27] Managu: where? [05:27] tagabasak_, " exit " [05:27] !tell linux_newbie2 about grub [05:27] dli, ok [05:28] tagabasak_, try again [05:28] tagabasak_, " mount -o bind /proc /mnt/hda2/proc " [05:28] dli,try what? [05:28] dli, ok [05:28] tagabasak_, " mount -o bind /dev /mnt/hda2/dev " [05:29] tagabasak_, " chroot /mnt/hda2 /bin/bash --login " [05:29] hey waht do you make of this? mkisofs: broken pipe. cannot fwrite [05:29] hi [05:29] this when i try to burn a cd [05:29] what version of python is installed in the ubuntu live cd ? [05:29] vars: I'd make a coaster out of it [05:29] What's a good limewire client? [05:30] !limewire [05:30] first you need !java, then download the http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and unpack it. Then just run the runLime.sh file. Voila. Consider !frostwire as an alternative. [05:30] is there a way i can rip the audio tracks only from my dvd? [05:30] tagabasak_, and now, within chroot, " grub-install /dev/hda " [05:30] anybody who knows what python version is installed in the live cd ? [05:30] <|Sivik|> how do i tell if a firewall is up or not [05:30] I pulled an old hd that had windows xp loaded on it. any idea on best way to extract the emails on thunderbird to my ubuntu thunderbird? [05:30] dli, do i have to make direcory proc on my dev/hda2? [05:30] floppyears: pretty sure it's 2.4 [05:30] Madpilot: Is there no KDE limewire client? Or any Linux native client? [05:31] Managu, anyway to stop making coasters? [05:31] tagabasak_, you should have " /mnt/hda2/proc " already [05:31] thanks bimberi [05:31] Papageno, no idea, I don't run the thing myself [05:31] floppyears: np :) [05:31] vars: slow machine? [05:31] vars: or old/cheap cd-writer? [05:31] i don't think so it has burned before [05:31] yeah old cd-r [05:31] haven't used it in a while [05:31] dli, too bad i dont have =( [05:32] dli, why i dnt have that directory? [05:32] tagabasak_, mkdir [05:32] vars: No specific details, but it looks like your system can't take building the iso image and burning it simultaneously. Things might work better if you did those seperately [05:32] humm [05:32] thanks [05:32] !frostwire [05:32] how can i screen capture in mplayer? [05:32] methinks frostwire is a free peer-to-peer application that runs on the Gnutella network. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrostWireHowTo [05:33] mikebot, run mplayer like, "mplayer -vo x11 " [05:33] I have to ask.. where does this "OMG PONIES" inside joke come from? [05:34] orangey, have you ever been around a 6 year lod girl? [05:34] lod? [05:34] =old [05:34] Ok. so they like ponies.. [05:34] Untill they see how dirty the things are. [05:34] :P [05:35] It's not new as I can recall from my childhood. how did we get involved? [05:35] dli, sorry? [05:35] Managu, no dice [05:36] i tried to burn from a iso [05:36] vars: are the HD and the CD-R on the same IDE controller? [05:36] dli, what do you mean by within chroot? [05:36] how would i open the home directory in the terminal? [05:36] tagabasak_, after the command chroot [05:36] it's a laptop so i think so [05:36] dli,ok [05:36] <|Sivik|> how do i tell if a firewall is up or not [05:37] <|Sivik|> i'm trying to ssh in and it says the connection is refused [05:37] Hello everyone, I am kinda new (totally actually) to linux, I am looking for some assistance in setting up a LVM share, so I can place my cross platform media onto one machine, would anyone mind feilding a few questions? [05:37] mugzie, open a term an hit ls [05:37] vars: I'm a bit confused -- you certainly get a different error, no? mkisofs shouldn't be involved at all [05:37] <|Sivik|> !ssh [05:37] ssh is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdvancedOpenSSH [05:37] i got that error once [05:37] dli,it say cannot change root directory to grub-install [05:37] so the mkisofs what does that refer to? [05:38] help [05:38] vars: mkisofs is a program which creates an .iso image from a bunch of files [05:38] I have two SATA 300 GB Drives, I want to make the empty space ( / )on the SDA and the whole new SDB drive span together into one big 500GB volume, so iTunes enjoys the placement of a single folder [05:38] |Sivik|, most likely you don't have an ssh server installed [05:38] vars: literally "make ISO filesystem" [05:38] Since my SDB is empty, should I make the 8E a primary or a Logical partition? [05:38] i pressed ls but i dont get the pop up i wanna delete somthing in there [05:38] im weird [05:38] vars: to burn an iso, just do cdrecord foo.iso (assuming /etc/default/cdrecord is correct) [05:38] <|Sivik|> eggzeck: ok [05:39] ok [05:39] how would i do that get the home to open in a window? in terminal [05:39] |Sivik|, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [05:39] mugzie: how bout Places -> home [05:39] no, im weird im weird [05:39] i ate one of my keyboard [05:39] How do I install frostwire ? [05:39] tagabasak_, can you run " grub ", instead ? [05:39] im weird [05:39] |Sivik|, once that's done, you should be able to ssh into the box. :) [05:39] where can i find a technical help for ubuntu? [05:39] i ate one of my keyboard key [05:39] !frostwire [05:39] it has been said that frostwire is a free peer-to-peer application that runs on the Gnutella network. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrostWireHowTo [05:39] <|Sivik|> k [05:39] the number between 3 and 5 [05:39] im weird [05:39] mugzie: if you really are averse to using the mouse, you can open the menus with alt-f1 [05:39] Managu: I looked over those wiki help pages, but the I'm not sure which steps to use. I've removed GRUB from the MBR and don't have Ubuntu installed on any partition, although I have partitions for it set up. I am currently on a Knoppix live CD [05:39] Thank you ^^ [05:39] <|Sivik|> eggzeck, i knew i was missing something, but i couldn't remember [05:40] im weir dim weirdir mei rwmiwmdi wmdiwe [05:40] dli, im on grub now [05:40] amphi, well that gave me some new errors 9 cdrecord fo.iso [05:40] |Sivik|, hehe, cool. I sometimes forget things too. :) [05:40] no managu i have to do it through terminal cause im on ice lite [05:40] <|Sivik|> eggzeck, thanks a bunch [05:40] |Sivik|, you're welcome. [05:40] mugzie: hrmm. "nautilus &" , perhaps [05:40] amphi, where could i find technical help for ubuntu? [05:41] <|Sivik|> eggzeck, its now saying that the host key verification failed [05:41] Empty Secondary hard drive, and I am making it one big partition to add to my LVM, do I want to make it a primary or logical partition??? [05:41] lendyl: what do you mean? you could ask in the channel... [05:41] has anyone here successfully got windows media to play in ubuntu? [05:41] lendyl, here, or at help.ubuntu.com, or wiki.ubuntu.com, or at System->Help... [05:41] linux_newbie2: actually, dli and tagabasak_ are tackling a very, very similar problem. You might want to scroll back and look at some of their conversation [05:41] |Sivik|, and then? [05:41] ahhh... ok [05:41] <|Sivik|> it goes back to the # [05:41] disinterseted_pe, wmv & wma files? of course. [05:41] dli,what should i do next? [05:42] linux_newbie2: oh, wait. Hold on, I'm confused [05:42] ok what packages do i need to install for them? [05:42] tagabasak_, within grub ? [05:42] linux_newbie2: what is it you're trying to accomplish? [05:42] ubotu, tell disinterseted_pe about restricted [05:42] dli,yup [05:42] amph cd record is looking for a -scsi and telling me that thje 2.6 kernal hates it [05:42] <|Sivik|> eggzeck, it talks about some crap about "IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY" and a bunch of other crap and then says Host key verification failed [05:42] tagabasak_, " find /etc/hosts " [05:42] vars: it's scsi or ide? [05:43] tagabasak_, we want to double check, it's hd0 [05:43] ide [05:43] Managu: the only OS I have set up successfully right now is Windows...I am just trying to get the MBR back in order so I can get into it, for starters [05:43] |Sivik|> ssh ? [05:43] ive been there [05:43] in a gateway laptop i am 100% sure that is ide right [05:43] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, yes [05:43] Managu: then I have to figure out why Ubuntu won't install :P [05:43] linux_newbie2: have a Windows boot disk? [05:43] vars: do cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus [05:43] Managu: yes [05:43] dli,file not found [05:43] |Sivik|> rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts [05:43] tagabasak_, you didn't typo ? [05:43] disinterseted_pe, see the w32codecs info on that RestrictedFormats site [05:43] Managu: I tried fixboot and fixmbr and it can't boot the os [05:44] linux_newbie2: I knew what to do with windows9x; I don't know how windows2k+ work. [05:44] dli, what is typo? [05:44] tagabasak_, maybe, " find /boot/grub/menu.lst " [05:44] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, and then try ssh again? [05:44] dli, sorry im really a newbie [05:44] linux_newbie2: but, honestly, the problem isn't a linux problem. You need to reinstall the windows MBR [05:44] ok ty [05:44] vars: take the number and put a line in /etc/default/cdrecord like CRD_DEVICE=ATA:1,0,0 where the '1,0,0' are the numbers that command shows you [05:44] |Sivik|> yep [05:44] is this where yuo can go for help? [05:44] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, same thing [05:44] Managu: I agree [05:44] |Sivik|> run the command on the client, not the server [05:44] Managu: I thought maybe I could get GRUB back up and use that though [05:45] vars: then you won't need to specify the device to cdrecord every time [05:45] Managu: since it used to work before I screwed up my linux partition [05:45] linux_newbie2: hrmm, I suppose that's a possibility. [05:45] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, already doing that, can a server not be a client for something else? [05:45] IS this where you go for help? [05:45] dli, w8 did you mean that i should be on grub prompt? [05:45] linux_newbie2: lemme see [05:45] ubotu, sudo dpkg -i FrostWire-4.10.9-1.i586.deb, will not work why? [05:45] <|Sivik|> let me try something [05:45] Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Taru [05:45] Mr, it is - just ask a question, don't ask to ask [05:45] tagabasak_, yes, within grub [05:46] how do you "upgrade" releases? [05:46] |Sivik|> I doubt it, funny though, whenever I get that message, deleting known_hosts does the trick [05:46] Taru, ubotu is a bot... [05:46] linux_newbie2: from a root command line, how bout you run "grub" [05:46] Mr: depends on the help [05:46] grub [05:46] linux_newbie2 (and pray that knoppix has grub) [05:46] gnome- and XGL rulez in ubuntu [05:46] :) [05:46] Managu: done [05:46] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, i have ssh server installed on this machine as well as the laptop and i can log in from the desktop to the laptop but not the laptop to the desktop [05:46] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, i get that error [05:46] I used gnome and xgl in suse and in ubuntu is better starnge maybe bacause we use gnome 2.14 [05:46] ubotu, Thank you ^^ [05:46] no problem, Taru [05:47] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, can you tell me the right repo needed to install mplayer? [05:47] |Sivik|> tried running the command on both ? [05:47] dli, still not found =( [05:47] linux_newbie2: put it on your hard drive. It's been a while since I did this, so I might not be remembering the incantations correctly. Also keep in mind that we're in data-loss mode, so things could get better or they could get worse [05:47] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, no [05:47] Atopounce: i am having problems getting my display to work properly [05:47] |Sivik|> universe if I remeber well [05:47] !info mplayer-586 [05:47] mplayer-586: (The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux), section multiverse/graphics, is extra.

[05:48] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, yes, but what is the url and stuff for the multiverse [05:48] tagabasak_, " ls -l etc/hosts ", " ls -l boot/grub/ " [05:48] Managu: Error 12: Invalid device requested [05:48] |Sivik|> it should be in your sources.list, just uncomment the lenes mentioning it [05:48] Managu: is it setup (hd0, 0)? [05:48] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, already did that, still doesn't find it [05:48] Question: I installed krusader 1.7 even though Breezy/Dapper use krusader 1.6 (which doesn't work for me). I have to use the --ignore-depends option, as in "dpkg --ignore-depends=kdelibs4c2 -i /boxln/root/apt/archives/krusader_1.70.0-0kubuntu1_i386.deb" to get it to ignore the dependency problem. But every time I try to install something else, apt-get tries to get rid of krusader. What can I do to tell apt-get to continue ignor [05:48] i purchased some tv shows on dvd. i'd like to rip the commentary tracks only (i.e. no video) is there a way to do this? [05:48] |Sivik|> AMD64 ? [05:49] amphi, the cdrom is at /dev/hdc what does that tell me? and the dev=ATA looks on /dev/hda [05:49] linux_newbie2: no, that would be a bad idea [05:49] <|Sivik|> !pastebin [05:49] I heard pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269 [05:49] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, nope [05:49] I tried using "pinning" in /etc/apt/preferences, but now apt-get won't install anything else. [05:49] hi. anyone knows of a good anime wallpaper site? something that compares to www.sexydesktop.co.uk? [05:49] linux_newbie2: that would wipe out your windows partition's boot sector, and you'd be back at reinstalling from there [05:49] sorry i guess this belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic... nm [05:49] pppoe_dude, :P you pervert. :P [05:49] |Sivik|> what happens when you sudo apt-get install mplayer-586 ? [05:49] Managu: eep! ok [05:49] dli, igot /etc/hosts [05:50] pppoe_dude, heh - let me check my bookmarks :) [05:50] vars: wtf? pastebin the output of cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus [05:50] The resolution is at 640 X 400, its a 19" LCD capable of 1280 X 1040; i tried changing it through the settings (only 640X400 was avaliable) and i edited the xorg.conf file deleting all but 1280 X 1040 [05:50] linux_newbie2: hrmm. I guess you "quit" [05:50] Dr_Willis: lol [05:50] madpiolt so does that mean its not possible without paying for the media player? [05:50] linux_newbie2: and try "grub_setup /dev/hda" [05:50] tagabasak_, no, " ls -l /mnt/hda2/etc/hosts " [05:50] Managu: grub_setup: command not found [05:50] Mr: have you tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'? [05:51] Mr, sounds like a driver problem or a video-bios related problem [05:51] linux_newbie2: err, guess it's "grub-install /dev/hda" [05:51] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14430 [05:51] yah i tried it [05:51] dli, i dont have grub folder on /boot [05:51] i read it in the comment of the conf file [05:51] nothing [05:51] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, thats my current sources.list plus a small error that i'm getting [05:51] tagabasak_, not /boot, /mnt/hda2/boot/grub/ [05:52] Managu: could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device [05:52] i have foedora and never had a problem [05:52] Mr: what is your video card?

After launching Totem, I try to Play DVD & get this error msg: "Failed to find mountpoint for device /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab". Any suggestions?

[05:55] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, thats when i get that error [05:55] <|Sivik|> when i run apt-get update [05:55] hi there [05:55] dli, yep [05:55] i need some help because i'm getting mad [05:56] linux_newbie2: The documentation I'm seeing doesn't really suggest a cure using grub [05:56] for me is impossible install a tar.gz [05:56] i do all good [05:56] linux_newbie2: tell me, what happens when you try to boot your machine now? [05:56] |Sivik|> pastebin your new sources.list please [05:56] but ./configure doesnt work [05:56] atoponce: how would i be able to tell that [05:56] anyone? [05:56] know [05:56] tagabasak_, okay, in the previous terminal, in grub, " root (hd0,1) " [05:56] im so confused [05:56] Managu: It says could not boot the operating system [05:56] feryana: why are you installing from source [05:57] how do i unmount? [05:57] I want to install some dictionaries for open office and is a tar.gz [05:57] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14432 [05:57] then i went to konsole entered the directory [05:57] <|Sivik|> MorbidHunger, umount /dev/devicenumber [05:57] MorbidHunger: umount [05:57] ok [05:57] but when I tipe ./configure [05:57] what is PQserivecs root? [05:57] just umount? [05:57] MorbidHunger: or umount /mount/point [05:57] says me no file or directory [05:57] MorbidHunger: umount, not unmount [05:57] linux_newbie2: this is going to sound silly, but I think you want to try reinstalling ubuntu [05:57] ok [05:57] thanx mate [05:57] dli, file system is ext2fs [05:57] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, whats wrong [05:58] Mr: not sure how to 'see' what driver without reconfiguring the xserver [05:58] linux_newbie2: at the least, you'll probably get grub back [05:58] MorbidHunger: that bug is fixed in plan 9 ;) [05:58] hmmm [05:58] tagabasak_, now, " setup (hd0) " [05:58] hi guys, can anyone provide any information on setting my laptop up to dual-boot ubuntu and windows? [05:58] Managu: well, I have tried twice, with a Ubuntu CD I DLed today and with an Edubuntu 5.10 CD that has worked on other machines [05:58] <|Sivik|> RamyLaptop: did you install windows first and then ubuntu? [05:58] Managu: they both fail when installing the base system :( [05:58] well i have booted from the live CD and the resolution was fine [05:58] dli,done [05:58] tagabasak_, make sure grub was run right after "chroot" [05:58] <|Sivik|> RemyLaptop, did you install windows and then ubuntu? [05:58] dli, is houl rebbot? [05:59] tagabasak_, " quit " [05:59] so then, how I install a tar.gz???????? what I must do [05:59] tagabasak_, " exit " [05:59] linux_newbie2, sounds like your HD is not clean [05:59] linux_newbie2: when you try to boot, do you get anything other than a generic "could not load operating system" message? Anything at all? Does GRUB say soemthing? Is there a disk error? [05:59] ManaguL: running the CD check says they both have a problem with a file on the disk, but I know the edubuntu one has worked on another machine [05:59] Mr: what version+ [05:59] linux_newbie2, try formatting it clean [05:59] |Sivik| - I currently have ubuntu installed ( an no spare partitions), but i'm planning on going again completely from scratch... [05:59] tagabasak_, you may reboot now [05:59] ? [05:59] |Sivik|> I cn't see what's wrong, here's my sources.list if you want : http://fkraiem.no-ip.org/stuff/sources.list [05:59] 5.10 [05:59] dli, ok [05:59] when is dapper going to be released? [05:59] some one i installed it from [05:59] never [05:59] !dapper [05:59] **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install, or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until than [05:59] i had the live DVD [05:59] Deedubb: june 1st [05:59] <|Sivik|> RemyLaptop, so you don't currently have windows installed? [05:59] because i see how to do it on the sites... but ./configure never work [05:59] Managu: before I did the fixmbr from the windows disk, GRUB gave an error 15 [05:59] thank you [06:00] |Sivik| - no [06:00] linux_newbie2: oi, I remember error 15 [06:00] dli,hope it works *__* [06:00] whoever does the ubotu bot, it should be "then" for the last word of that dapper statement ;) [06:00] linux_newbie2: lemme see. Maybe lilo would be more useful to you here. It's a lot less testy on install [06:00] how long does it take to mount an image? [06:00] Managu: fine by me [06:00] how can i screen capture in mplayer? [06:00] feryana: why are you trying to compile from source? [06:00] Managu, lilo is not used with ubuntu [06:00] yep [06:00] Anyone willing to help me out with a samba woe? [06:00] <|Sivik|> RemyLaptop, its eastist to install windows and then install ubuntu: the ubuntu grub will find the windows partition [06:00] mikebot: just a frame? [06:01] <|Sivik|> NytShade, whast the problem [06:01] i want to make a deb or something installable [06:01] amphi, yeah [06:01] Apostle^: fair enough, also not particularly relivant to our discussion ;-) [06:01] !grub [06:01] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting [06:01] mikebot: use the x11 driver [06:01] Apostle: at this point I just want to get back to windows before I give Ubuntu another shot [06:01] thanks |Sivik| [06:01] mikebot: and then whatever you like, gimp for example [06:01] i purchased some tv shows on dvd. i'd like to rip the commentary tracks only (i.e. no video) is there a way to do this? [06:01] feryana, the question is, why are you doing that? isn't what you need in the ubuntu repositories? [06:01] amphi, someone told me to do "mplayer -vo x11", but i don't know whatto doa fter that [06:01] feryana, dpkg -i yourdebher.deb [06:01] Managu, i tell you this because if the person were to install lilo and then updated their kernel they would not have a working system [06:01] I've installed it and SWAT, but when I log into swat it doesn't give me any configuration options. As though I'm a guest. [06:01] mikebot: yes, that's what I'm saying [06:01] is a software unmounted on tar.gaz and i want to run that software [06:01] Hey there [06:01] another question, I've plugged in an external HDD, and it's recognised it, but as read only... how can I make it so I can write to it ? [06:02] amphi, but when i type that, it just gives me a list of commands...then what do i do? [06:02] feryana, what software is that? [06:02] Mr: try the vesa driver, althogh you won't be able to do anything graphic intensive [06:02] ooodi-0.68-i686-linux.tar.gz [06:02] mikebot: mplayer -vo x11 whatever [06:02] is a installed for dictionaries for open office [06:02] Apostle^: indeed, I'm somewhat familiar with the difference [06:02] how would i do that [06:02] i've downloaded like that [06:02] feryana: is there not a package for that? [06:02] amphi, i understand typing "mplayer -vo x11" in terminal...but now how do i get the screen i want into a jpg? [06:02] nop... just that file [06:02] linux_newbie2: lemme see. Is there an /etc/lilo.conf on your current system? [06:03] NytShade, the ubuntu packagtes proberly have it 'locked down' for security reasons - check the wiki/forums for what needs to be done to reenable full use of it. [06:03] |Sivik|, can you help? [06:03] dli, yey got it now, i just have to edit my menu.lst t_T [06:03] 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' [06:03] I just what to install some spelling dictionaries for open office [06:03] tagabasak_, update-grub [06:03] and I just finded that [06:03] |Sivik|, thank you. I'll look again. [06:03] !pastebin [06:03] [pastebin] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269 [06:03] mikebot: capture it with what ever you like, gimp, xwd | xwdtopnm | pnmtopng > foo.png, there are many [06:04] i've installed the build-essential [06:04] but i can't do more [06:04] amphi, how in gimp..that's what i'm asking [06:04] Managu: yes [06:04] feryana: are the dictionaries not packaged? [06:04] linux_newbie2: oh, good. Can you pastebin a copy for me ot look at? [06:04] mikebot: ffs, file->aquire IIRC [06:05] at least i don't find them [06:05] i just finded that one [06:05] is it a holiday in the US tomorrow ? [06:05] |Sivik|, is there a better way to serve files to windows pcs over the network? [06:05] mathieu_: nope [06:05] no [06:05] mathieu_: not that i know of [06:05] mathieu_: monday week [06:05] amphi thank you [06:05] dli,why im on Busybox [06:05] the monday after that [06:05] mathieu_: monday week is when Memorial Day is observed in the US [06:05] Managu: what is remembered? [06:06] 29th of May [06:06] the veterans amphi [06:06] dli,it stops loading and promptind BusyBox [06:06] feryana: ah [06:06] amphi: That's a good question. Like an idiot, I don't know the history of Memorial Day [06:06] yeah that is when will celebrate that we won the war [06:07] <|Sivik|> NytShade, not really [06:07] Managu: uh, having some kind of clipboard issue, it won't paste into the box :P [06:07] <|Sivik|> mathieu, no [06:07] so then, there is no way to install or pack a tar.gz file? [06:07] <|Sivik|> mathieu, its next monday we have a holiday [06:07] feryana: tar zxvf foo.tgz [06:07] Managu: nm [06:07] another question, I've plugged in an external HDD, and it's recognised it, but as read only... how can I make it so I can write to it ? [06:07] i have a radeon 7200 and i'm trying to get my monitor to display on tv? any help? [06:07] linux_newbie2: heh [06:07] <|Sivik|> NytShade, are you trying to get files from a windows box to a linux box? [06:07] for somereason its not mounted [06:07] i shall intalld daemon tools [06:07] Managu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14433 [06:08] <|Sivik|> ray_: have fun, ati is a bitch in linux [06:08] Managu: Edit->Paste didn't work, but middle-click does...ok... [06:08] boy oh boy [06:08] not too good to hear... [06:08] linux_newbie2: sec, reading [06:08] |Sivik|, I'm setting up this ubuntu box as a testbed and a fileserver. I'd like to get it working as a fileserver before the end of the night :) [06:08] and what I must do with the files? [06:09] there is one oooodi.install [06:09] and others [06:09] <|Sivik|> NytShade, so your trying to access the files from the ubuntu box to the windows box? [06:09] dli, i got an alert it says that /dev/hdc2 doesnt exist. dorping to a shell [06:09] ray_: OTOH, that's an old card, so it should be well supported - radeontool might be of use to you [06:09] radeontool? [06:09] what I do with that? [06:09] ray_: radeontool [06:09] tagabasak_, it's /dev/hda2 [06:09] a channel? [06:10] dli, what shoul i do? [06:10] how can i change vncserver's default window manager? i.e. switch from gnome to kde [06:10] |Sivik|, and vice versa. [06:10] ray_: no, a program - it's packaged; apt-cache show radeontool [06:10] tagabasak_, you can type 'e' to edit grub entries [06:10] linux_newbie2: add to the end 2 lines: "other=/dev/hda1" and "label=windows" [06:11] <|Sivik|> NytShade, to get files off of the ubuntu box, use a scp program in windows [06:11] ray_: actually, it has nothing to do with tv out, sorry ;) [06:11] linux_newbie2: then run "lilo" as root [06:11] heh, ok then [06:11] Managu: I believe my windows is on hda2 [06:11] linux_newbie2: oh? What's on hda1? [06:11] <|Sivik|> NytShade, and in ubuntu, make sure the windows firewall is off and then you should be able to use samba [06:11] Managu: I think GRUB lived there? It's a small partition [06:11] dli,it stops loading, i cant login to gui.. becaus of the alerts. im on a shell now. [06:12] ray_: atitvout might be useful [06:12] linux_newbie2: you can run "fdisk -l" to be sure who's what, but if windows is on /dev/hda2, that's what you want in the "other" field [06:12] tagabasak_, reboot, change in grub [06:12] |Sivik|, not using any firewall software on any of the pc's in the home's network. [06:12] <|Sivik|> NytShade, yes, but is the normal windows firewall on? [06:12] ray_: that's what I was thinking of [06:12] |Sivik|, No [06:12] u guys know how to unrar something [06:12] thanks, amphi [06:12] where are the ipw2200 drivers located [06:13] dli, how could i do that? [06:13] !tell MorbidHunger about rar [06:13] windows fw only blocks/monitors incoming connections [06:13] <|Sivik|> NytShade, thats weird [06:13] kelvie: ipw2200.sf.net [06:13] here's a simple question hopefully [06:13] are they not in synaptic? [06:13] tagabasak_, boot livecd [06:13] amphi what I must do with the files inside ? [06:13] Managu: yeah, windows is on hda2 [06:13] feryana: I have no idea [06:13] |Sivik|, how so? I shut it off ages ago. [06:13] <|Sivik|> KaosX, yes i know that, but hes trying to access the windows files from samba on the ubuntu box [06:13] dli,ok T_T [06:13] <|Sivik|> NytShade, i didn't say it was on [06:13] how do I keep my second hard drive (hdb1) mounted each time i reboot [06:13] <|Sivik|> NytShade, i just asked if it was on [06:13] kelvie: they're in the install IIRC - modprobe ipw2200 should work [06:14] ray_, you have to put an entry in /etc/fstab [06:14] ray_: edit /etc/fstab [06:14] ray_: stick it in fstab [06:14] <|Sivik|> NytShade, when you run samba, it should see the mshome network [06:14] =) damn beat me to it [06:14] Rug, i love you too [06:14] does anyone know if gentoo or actually kororaa have a synaptic type package system to install packages? [06:14] DBO: but atleast we are better then amphi [06:14] linux_newbie2: bit after my bedtime here, so I'm gonna be going shortly [06:14] <|Sivik|> NytShade, or whatever you currently have it named as long as your have the same network address and the same subnet mask for both computers [06:14] anyone know of any problems or issues running Dapper on an Opteron? [06:14] Rug: much ;) but then I'm on rural dialup [06:15] <|Sivik|> ojai: go to #ubuntu+1 [06:15] nice excuse. [06:15] <|Sivik|> ojai: thats the dapper help channel [06:15] <|Sivik|> !dapper [06:15] **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install, or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until than [06:15] amphi> join the club :) [06:15] Managu: /proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found [06:15] Sivik: Yeah, already asked there -- not much feedback :) [06:15] Rug: excuse, perhaps, but hardly 'nice' [06:15] I have never heard of dialup lag affecting IRC [06:15] HymnToLife: ;) [06:15] still having trouble mounting [06:15] Managu: /dev/mapper/control: open failed: No suck device [06:15] Rug: it does if you do anything else [06:15] *such [06:15] so exactly what do i need to do to play windows media on ubuntu? [06:16] lol [06:16] Managu: Warning: '/proc/partitions' does nto match '/dev' directory structure [06:16] linux_newbie2: what's at the end? [06:16] now, just to be sure... it should be /dev/hdb1 and not /dev/hdb? [06:16] |Sivik|, they are both on the same workgroup and subnet. [06:16] does anybody have any ideas ? [06:17] Managu: Fatal: Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x000e (NFS/RAID mirror down?) [06:17] ray_: yes [06:17] thanks, rug [06:17] you guys are awesome [06:17] Take that back! [06:17] linux_newbie2: ok, well, seems that didn't work. And I'm out of ideas. Got that backup of your windows partition handy? [06:17] Rug: heh, I still have an old motorola 14.4 pcmcia modem somewhere [06:17] I am not!!!! [06:17] ha [06:17] Managu: oy [06:18] hi [06:18] <|Sivik|> NytShade, just because they have the same subnet doesn't mean they are on the same network [06:18] amphi: My first modem was a 300/1200 Switchable MANUAL "Pocket Modem" for the C64 [06:18] where can I get a spanish dictionary for openoffice [06:18] I ran a BBS on that thing [06:18] <|Sivik|> NytShade, you have to verify that the network portion of the ip address's are the same [06:18] <|Sivik|> like the same probably first 3 parts of the ip address [06:19] <|Sivik|> NytShade, are you using a external ip and an internal ip? [06:19] grr im so confused [06:19] does ubuntu only support 1024X768 or is my graphics card not installed properly? [06:19] Rug: manual? acoustic coupler? ;) [06:19] <|Sivik|> rak_: you probably dont' have it install correctly [06:19] Managu: would the window bootloader be having issues because the windows parition is not first? [06:19] You would dial the number with the telephone in your hand, and when the other end picked up, you switched on the modem and entered ATA+ in the term [06:19] <|Sivik|> linux_newbie2, shouldn't [06:19] linux_newbie2: the things we've tried have kept running into the fact that linux doesn't know the mapping from bios drive numbers to logical drive numbers. Solving that might help. You might also try using cfdisk to make sure that the windows partition is set "active" or "Bootable", or something [06:19] amphi: not quite that bad, but VERY close! [06:19] heh [06:19] is there any other way to mount cd images? [06:19] dli, what should i do now? [06:20] Managu: ah, it is not! [06:20] MorbidHunger: mount -o loop -t iso9660 foo.iso /mount/point [06:20] ray_: yes it does support it. [06:20] Managu: the linux partition is set as boot [06:20] Where can I download a spanish dictionary for openoffice???????????? [06:20] |Sivik|, they are both using addresses assigned by the router's DHCP service. [06:20] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, can you repost the url for your current soucres.list [06:20] linux_newbie2: should be an easy fix [06:20] thats not working [06:20] <|Sivik|> NytShade, then they should be on the same network [06:20] tagabasak_, correct your /etc/fstab /boot/grub/menu.lst on hdd [06:20] <|Sivik|> NytShade, are you running the GUI for samba? [06:20] Managu: should I unmark the Linux partition as bootable as well? [06:20] |Sivik|> http://fkraiem.no-ip.org/stuff/sources.list [06:21] |Sivik|, there is a gui? [06:21] ray_: edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and input the resolutions you want. [06:21] linux_newbie2: yup. Though I don't think you can have 2 bootable partitions (I could well be wrong) [06:21] rug, i almost missed that. [06:21] MorbidHunger: that is the way to do it; perhaps the image is corrupt? what does 'file whatever.iso' say? [06:21] dli,do i have to mount again? [06:21] <|Sivik|> NytShade, are you trying ti run samba in command line? [06:21] how can i start a vnc session with kde as a wm instead of gnome [06:21] atitvout supports radeon 7200? [06:21] It seems that ubuntu is a little slow is there any way to speed this system up? [06:21] tagabasak_, yes [06:21] thats why its easier to tie samba to an interface rather than a network [06:21] I belive so, yes. [06:21] ray_: maybe ;) [06:21] |Sivik|, I belive so, yes. [06:21] nathansnook: define slow. (slow, how?).

[06:55] Taru, so type sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre then. [06:55] HymnToLife, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.og/14437 [06:55] rob138: RANDR should work for an entire X, I dont know what sorts of config you'll need though [06:55] HymnToLife, thats what my vsftpd.conf file looks like [06:55] Sivik-homework> wanna have a look at mine ? [06:55] taru, you need to have multiverse or universe in the repos though. [06:55] Says "You must run this program as root user" [06:56] flannel, eh, too complicated and difficult for something hardly neccessary, thanks [06:56] Samuli^, Ok [06:56] HymnToLife, i changed the anonymoung_enable=NO and i changed my local_enable=YES [06:56] HymnToLife, sure [06:56] taru, don't type synaptic in terminal [06:56] Samuli^: sun-j2sdk1.5 for breezy [06:56] HymnToLife, so mine is 1002 i think? [06:56] Taru, what Flannel just said. [06:56] open it from system-->administration-->synaptic [06:57] HymnToLife, please let me see your vsftpd.conf file [06:57] pycs i get the same thing trying to join any rooms in yahoo maybe the room is full is there not any way to get in them any settings? [06:57] How do i go about with multiverse or universe in repos? [06:57] Sivik-homework> http://fkraiem.no-ip.org/stuff/vsftpd.conf [06:57] taru, I'll show you [06:57] GTroy, Ok! [06:57] GTroy, or the person can do sudo synaptic to get it in root moe [06:57] have you got synaptic open [06:58] HymnToLife, i still can't write to the ipod' still says owner 'steven' [06:58] Where is it? [06:58] sivik-homework, true but it's easier to start with gui operations [06:58] Flannel, though.. isn't sdk the developer version and jre just runtime-enviroment? [06:58] rob138: any success? [06:58] Flannel, sdk is going to get you packages you don't actually need if you're not coding in java. [06:58] JohnDanger> are you sure you set the right uid and then remount the device ? [06:58] taru, look up to my post [06:58] amphi, nope, i don't think it's possible with my graphics card driver for ATI [06:58] Samuli^: right, but that's all you get. sdk includes the jre. [06:59] disinterseted_pe, i get the same thing too in gyach enhanced, but maybe the room is full for now, you can log in later :) [06:59] Flannel, true. I don't know if the size difference is much. [06:59] HymnToLife, yea, my UID is 1002 same with gid i got them from users & groups ... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14438 [06:59] GTroy, cool, thanks^^ [06:59] Samuli^: they just lumped the entire java thing into the package for breezy. piecewise is dapper only. [06:59] is there a way to install the 2.4 kernal [06:59] vars: sure, use apt. [06:59] ok i didnt think there was anything that could be done ty pycs [07:00] ok [07:00] HymnToLife, now its telling me that the ip connection refused [07:00] flannel: hahha easy anser [07:00] amphi, xranr info: Rotations possible - normal [07:00] rob138: yeah, I've been futzing with it, no success yet [07:01] omg.. amarok is so buggy.. [07:01] JohnDanger> did you remount your device ? [07:01] HymnToLife, yes [07:01] captainmorgan, the new version? [07:01] hey lilo [07:01] !amarok [07:01] [amarok] a music player for Linux and Unix with an intuitive interface. See http://amarok.kde.org ; amaroK's features: http://amarok.kde.org/content/view/51/1/ [07:02] shoot... I gotta get 1.4 [07:02] rob138: actually, I think it's completely impossible. actually. [07:02] I still have 1.3.7 [07:02] capt, there you go [07:02] how do I update it? [07:02] flannel, really? [07:03] CaptainMorgan, you probably need to compile it from the source. [07:03] rob138: maybe for breezy, but as of 10-10 last year, the proprietary ATI driver didnt support rotation. [07:03] HymnToLife, i can't figure this out [07:03] CaptainMorgan yeah 1.4 is nice :) but still has some bugs... [07:03] CaptainMorgan> amarok 1.6 packages are on separate repos, see kubuntu.org [07:03] captainmorgan, use synaptic to remove amarok, than compile the new one [07:03] HymnToLife, i tried with user 'steven' but it still says readd only file system [07:03] rob138: erm, maybe in dapper you'll be able to. might have a newer fgrlx (or whatever it) is driver [07:03] CaptainMorgan, though check first if there's ubuntu-deb package, or even better repository available. [07:03] there is a v1.6?

[07:15] taru, or at least your repos [07:15] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, now it says 500 OOPS: could not open chroot() list file:/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list [07:15] holy crap Flannel - that's a lot of processes... [07:15] flannel the spanish one [07:15] I think that did it tho.. [07:15] it was there [07:15] ok Downloading the package information [07:15] IMPOSSIBLE: you should talk. I am tired of punks comming in here and DEMANDING answers. Who have you helped in here today? [07:15] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, do i just need to comment that out again [07:15] JohnDanger> write to it as root :D [07:15] CaptainMorgan: heh, try ps aux | grep [whatever] [07:15] GTroy, Ok, it finished.

[07:16] go to a console and do mplayer your.wma [07:16] CaptainMorgan: well, that's better than 800000 now isn't it ;) [07:16] flannel i've downloaded es_ES.zip [07:16] Flannel those two are not listed in the original sudo ps aux [07:16] for open office [07:16] right? [07:16] hah [07:16] i installed that from the synaptic set up [07:16] CaptainMorgan: well, one is the grep itself, [07:17] right.. [07:17] figured that out.. [07:17] thanks [07:17] driving me bonkers [07:17] GTroy, So Java should be in there now? [07:17] HymnToLife, dmesg shows this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14439 [07:17] home/feryana/.openoffice.org2/user/wordbook [07:17] taru, java is a little different [07:17] vars i dont know where console is [07:17] IMPOSSIBLE: why dont you get it from apt? [07:17] why would someone use Vmware to run linux on linux? [07:17] i've put the two files there [07:17] GTroy, Or check everything here and update? [07:17] apt? [07:18] IMPOSSIBLE: synaptic? [07:18] taru, sure [07:18] GTroy, ok [07:18] JohnDanger> try reformatting your ipod [07:18] from Windows [07:18] i tried that at the beggening [07:18] rob138: couldn't get it to work here :( [07:18] disinterseted_pe, go to the applications an look for terminal [07:18] rob138: to test a different distro (without screwing up existing partitions) [07:18] i've downloaded the tar.gz [07:18] HEY, does anyone know why ubuntu is interpreting the "mousewheel left" input as a left click? (like i have a 4 way mousewheel, and when i move it left, it gets counted as a mouseclick) [07:18] HymnToLife, i don't have windows.. [07:18] taru, only the programs you want on your system [07:18] but i dont know how to run it [07:18] ok then what? [07:18] IMPOSSIBLE: right, tar.gz isn't ubuntu's packages. [07:18] JohnDanger> you most likely have some friens [07:18] amphi, i don't know who or where to suggest it to [07:18] and most likely some of them use Windows [07:18] rug, ah [07:18] then what I must download [07:18] GTroy, ok [07:18] HymnToLife, nothing else i can do? [07:18] HymnToLife, will a PC reboot help [07:19] rob138: xrandr is meant to do it, but not on my card it seems [07:19] I doubt it [07:19] IMPOSSIBLE: start up synaptic and search for spanish and office, or whatever you think might work [07:19] amphi, nor mine :) [07:19] it seems yoout FAT filesystem is somehow corrupted [07:19] ok and sorry my noobie act, but, how I do that :P [07:19] so if i wanted to run windows inside linux, i need A. windows installer cd B. vmware player... anything else? [07:19] taru, java won't be installed in your browser though [07:19] rob138: I think I wasted some time trying this before... ;) [07:19] HymnToLife, what the hell now it works suddenly [07:19] GTroy, Yes, I am mainly looking to install this Java program, since I want frostwire to work.

[07:20] mount [07:20] thanks Flannel [07:20] well frostwire will work (I think) if you install java through synaptic [07:20] GTroy, I tried Samuli^'s "sudo atp-get install sun-java5-jre" [07:20] test: need help? [07:20] GTroy, No work. [07:21] try it now [07:21] Rug, yup please.. i cant repair my grub [07:21] ok flannel I get it :P is on System [07:21] Taru, it's not by that name in Breezy. [07:21] thanks buddie [07:21] vars: server vs non server makes no difference for repos. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesCliHowto will get you a general idea, the urls themselves should be the same, just the keywords [07:21] taru, you might have need to set your repositories [07:21] Samuli^, Oh? [07:21] I hope to install the s....d dictionary and not need to come more here and waste your time :P [07:21] Taru, Flannel remembered the name for suns java for breezy. [07:21] vars: and, whereever that says breezy, you obviously want hoary [07:22] i just need to know what to type to install the 2.4 kernal [07:22] !java [07:22] To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs [07:22] kernel [07:22] it gives me "E: unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another protocol using it?" [07:22] GTroy, that's old news.

Droping to a shell. [07:22] Sun's java is in the repositories now. [07:22] Samuli^, Oh ok ^^ [07:22] see ya pals [07:22] samuli^ what's the right java for frostwire that taru needs?

[07:25] taru, make sure synaptic is closed [07:25] vars: 'kernel' ;) [07:25] Rug, theres no /media/hdc2 only /media/hda2 for my linux partitions [07:25] yay it works [07:25] No wonder, its open hah ;; [07:25] <|Sivik|> will mplayer view .wmv files?

[07:26] wait im in root [07:26] exit [07:26] miss [07:26] test: in a term window type the following: sudo mkdir /media/hdc2 then: sudo mount /dev/hdc2 /media/hdc2 [07:27] Samuli^, I think so. [07:27] <|Sivik|> HymnToLife, i'm using your sources.list stuff so it can find that w32codecs, if i hadn't used the stuff you had, i wouldn't have been able to get it [07:27] Taru, better to make sure. Paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin [07:27] ::( [07:27] |Sivik|> !w32codecs would have told you :) [07:27] Taru, cat /etc/apt/sources.list [07:28] Samuli^, ok [07:28] i cant find wx-config in synaptic [07:28] !amarok [07:28] thats weird [07:28] is there somekind of trick to get nv-glx working in dapper?

Sorry I don't know what else to tell you. [07:38] theres no --large-files option or something? [07:38] weird [07:38] and i wonder why people say package managers suck, but i've never had this problem before [07:38] bah [07:38] Test were you able to mount /dev/hdc2 ? [07:38] hmm, no custom requests in ShipIt anymore [07:38] try #wxwidgets then [07:38] ZeZu: 90% of the time it is bullet-proof. [07:39] cyphase: Dapper is too near release [07:39] Rug, what do you mean? [07:39] test: were you able to mount /dev/hdc2 ? [07:39] amphi : What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [07:39] rob138: that's looking for kernel headers [07:39] Rug, i dnt have hdc2 on my system [07:39] amphi, where should i point it? [07:39] does anyone know if sata is hotplugable in ubuntu? [07:39] Rug, only hda2 [07:39] cyphase: that is my guess. June 1st Dapper will be released. so there will be NEW CD's [07:39] Rug, i know.. [07:39] rob138: install the kernel-headers package, perhaps [07:40] rob138: sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [07:40] Rug, with previous versions you could set a custom number of each cd [07:40] test: that is why grub can't mount it. [07:40] rob138: doesn't make any difference what _mine_ is [07:40] i'll leave the nvidia-settings out and then just configure it all manually by hand i guess [07:40] pain in the ass [07:40] cyphase: ahh sorry [07:40] Rug, not the version :) [07:40] Rug, so what shoul i do? [07:41] test: did you have a more then one hard-drive in your PC? [07:41] bimberi, why not apt-get? [07:41] !aptitude [07:41] aptitude is another front-end to apt, like apt-get, adept and Synaptic. Unlike them, aptitude remembers what dependencies were installed with a package and can remove them if you uninstall. It also has a (somewhat buggy) text-mode interface. [07:41] Rug, nope only one [07:41] rob138: ^^^^^ :) [07:41] iji [07:41] test: then why is grub pointing to hdc2 ? [07:41] bimeri thanks [07:42] what are these headers? [07:42] rob138: np :) [07:42] Rug, i dont know [07:42] test: one sec.. [07:43] rUG,OK [07:43] rob138: that i don't know, those who know C(++) might [07:44] test: Do you knwo what partition your "/" is on? [07:44] alrigh, Im resorting to rythmbox... how come I have no sound?? [07:44] Rug, it is on Hda2 [07:44] other apps and terminals produce sound.. damn GAIM makes sound... but not my audio players.. [07:45] test: join #paste [07:45] Rug, when i type fdisk . these what came out /de/ [07:45] rob138: they contain function declarations, macros, defines, etc. for c source files [07:45] hello all [07:45] join #paste [07:45] ok [07:46] amphi, okay [07:46] CaptainMorgan, you have the codecs right? [07:46] yep [07:47] dammit.. I got it... but that's just weird.. I closed out everything except X-chat and rythmbox.. and sound produced [07:48] If I sign the code of conduct, i'm then a member of the ubuntu team? [07:48] no [07:48] ;) [07:48] CaptainMorgan, ahh, you have problems esd hogging your dsp. [07:48] dsp? [07:48] soundcard. [07:48] hm.. [07:48] for my linux ubuntu [07:49] /dev/hda for my windows [07:49] test: wrong window [07:49] for my linux [07:49] /dev/hda for my windows [07:49] sorry [07:49] CaptainMorgan, for quick solution, try System>Administration>soundsystem switcher or whatever that's called. [07:49] CaptainMorgan, and change it from esd to alsa. [07:50] btw, there is a sound daemon called sid, right? [07:50] If I sign the code of conduct, i'm then a member of the ubuntu team? [07:50] No [07:51] :) [07:51] http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember [07:51] polopolo: perhaps it's a necessary but unsifficient condition ;) [07:51] ok [07:51] it is! If youre a member, you have signed the code of Conduct [07:51] CaptainMorgan, see http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#configuresoundproperly [07:51] Samuli^, System>Administration>and no soundsystem/audio, or whatever option [07:51] oh.. [07:52] Samuli^, CaptainMorgan, ubuntuguide isn't a good resource. [07:52] use the wiki/forums [07:52] hey i want to put a website on the internet [07:52] Flannel, it does a good job with that configuration for sound. [07:52] i have a computer that i can leave on all the time but i have no idea how to go about tdoing this [07:53] I'm not sure why breezy is so crippled by default. [07:53] i have a DSL connection [07:53] varsendagger: you'll want to install [whatever server, apache is common] configure your router for traffic, and get a DNS (dyndns is a popular one, if youve got a dynamic IP (cable/dsl/etc)) [07:53] how do would i go about seting up a finger print reader in ubuntu? [07:54] how do i configure my router for traffic? [07:54] Flannel.. whoa.. I gotta reboot? [07:54] varsendagger: you'll want to port forward 80 [07:54] CaptainMorgan: erm,what? [07:54] foward port 80 to the pc thats running the server [07:55] says so in that link [07:55] varsendagger: unless you want to change the port to something else. [07:55] what packge needs installed to get stander posix development docs [07:55] ie man print/write/perror etc [07:55] ok this is shounding too difficult alll i have is a dsl modem [07:55] i get swap device not found when i try to hibernate [07:56] and mount deosnt show my swap (/dev/hda6) mounted [07:56] but i have an entry in fstab [07:56] hi all [07:56] ahh then you can skip the router stuff varsendagger [07:56] anyone know why this happens? [07:56] yes [07:56] varsendagger: it's reallynot. you need a server (thats the software, since you already have the hardware) you need to allow the outside world to communicate with it (thats the router bit) then you need to allow the outsideworld to be able to find it, that's the dyndns part [07:56] T` the swap is never mounted [07:57] clever_, oh.. actually in /proc/swaps i see /dev/hda6 partition 2040212 0 -1 [07:57] anyone here use anjuta? [07:57] varsendagger: if you don't have a router, do you expect to have two PCs online all the time? [07:57] Flannel, if varsendagger has just a dsl box wired right into the pc he wont need a router opened up [07:57] clever_, then why is hibernate complaining.. hmm [07:57] Flannel.. hmm... I just restarted rythmbox and it's playing.. I don't see a need to reboot... at least not right now.. [07:57] phew [07:57] ok i will be right back [07:57] CaptainMorgan, it was Samuli^ who was helping you, not me ;) [07:57] ooops [07:58] Samuli^, :) [07:58] funny storry i can't get my cd burner working and i need to get 170mb of web page to a guy [07:58] I just want peeps to mess up their computers :) [07:58] how do would i go about seting up a finger print reader in ubuntu? [07:58] !! [07:58] CaptainMorgan: I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/ [07:58] oops.. [07:58] hehe. [07:58] varsendagger: ah. ok. get apache, (apt-get install apache2) and put the stuff in /var/www then give the guy your IP addy. [07:59] Samuli^, that resource wanted me to reboot after config.. bleh [07:59] varsendagger: and, that's basically it ;) [07:59] what is my ipADDy [07:59] www.whatismyip.com [07:59] Vars is men too [07:59] look i'm in two places !!!! [07:59] me [07:59] no! [07:59] anyway [08:00] I've got a question. [08:00] CaptainMorgan, the thing is that esd was hogging your dsp and now that nothing else uses it, you have sound in rhythbox. I think you do need a reboot to get it working in a non-hogging way, but you can do that later. [08:00] cool, thanks [08:00] my sound card randomly plays the audio at 200% normal speed [08:00] ok apache is being installed [08:00] any way to fix it? [08:01] clever_: that's not a soundcard problem, I dont think. [08:01] its within linux drivers area [08:01] normaly mplayer ends up playing the audio at 200% speed [08:01] and gaim cant make any sounds [08:01] and it fixes itself randomly [08:02] google help any? [08:02] I have Ubuntu installed on a 13 GB hdc, and I want to format a 40 GB hdd for use as file storage (pictures, music, etc.). [08:02] didnt try google [08:02] just had a talk about it in #mplayer [08:02] clever_: seems unique enough that google would be helpful [08:02] i just set mplayer to 50% speed [08:02] and the card doubles it bringing it back to 100 [08:02] the lazy way to fix it:P [08:03] so no one here uses anjuta? [08:03] Ademan, what is anjuta? [08:03] !anjuta [08:03] Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, HymnToLife [08:03] how hard would it be to upgrade a driver written for the 2.4 linux kernel to 2.6? [08:03] what is anjunta that sounds familiar [08:03] hi.. when i use apt-get, i get a message saying E: Broken packages [08:04] what might cause that ? [08:04] Icomey: its an IDE [08:04] for c and c++ [08:04] even Ubotu the Allmight doesn't know bout it [08:04] salut a tou [08:04] +y [08:04] !fr [08:04] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [08:04] ubotu cant even help me with my finger print reader [08:04] yes [08:04] I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, clever_ [08:04] see:P [08:04] Flannel, ok i have apache2 installed and my index.htm and files in /var/www [08:04] ubotu is stupid [08:04] thanks man [08:04] HymnToLife: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/ [08:05] i don't have x on the comp i want to use as the server is there a way to get the ip addy? [08:05] wget www.whatismyip.com [08:06] then cat or less or vi the file it makes [08:06] the ip of the comp? [08:06] in the console type "route" [08:06] ifconfig may work if the dsl is right on the linux box [08:06] on my system that just gives me 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0 [08:06] and route didnt do the trick [08:06] yeah no [08:06] lol [08:07] ifconfig or wget www.whatismyip.com [08:07] or try using links as a text browser [08:07] ifconfig wont do it either if you're behind even one router [08:07] yeah [08:07] which is why i said if the dsl is right on the linux box [08:07] this may sound stupid.. but I got a 250 gig ext hdd backup that's ntfs, is the process for partitioning it in say.. half for linux as simple as internal installations? [08:07] but if you're behint a router you certainly have other boxes on your network [08:08] does anyone use dijjer? [08:08] I have an extra hard drive that I is under /dev/hdd that I want to format for data such as pictures or music or whatnot. How would I go about doing that? [08:08] clever_, ok i got it [08:08] I have an extra hard drive that is under /dev/hdd that I want to format for data such as pictures or music or whatnot. How would I go about doing that? [08:08] my ip addres that is [08:08] There. [08:09] Wait. [08:09] where does wget put stuff? [08:09] current directory [08:09] Ademan, . [08:09] ls -ltr [08:09] look at the last edited file which ls -ltr should list last [08:09] clever_, what do i do next? [08:10] open that ip in a web browser and you should see the files you put under /var/www/ [08:10] i am on the same network [08:10] that should make it a bit easyer/faster [08:10] it gives me info about my modem [08:10] what is the ip? [08:10] vars > the enter the network IP [08:11] When does dapper come out [08:11] !dapper [08:11] **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install, or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until than [08:11] most likely 192.168.x. [08:11] HymnToLife: no. [08:11] also irc isnt very secure and i can see that vars's ip on the web is 209.181.2.222 [08:11] noooooooooooooooo [08:11] hey that is it [08:11] What is Ubuntu 6.06 LTS ? [08:11] anyone know how to turn the fan off on a laptop? its ALWAYS on for me :( [08:11] Mantice: Dapper. [08:11] Flannel> why no ? [08:11] Whats LTS ? [08:11] i cant get streamlink to work [08:12] wow, so i tried to install vmware player and it destroyed my system, how do i remove it from starting with the kernel it installed itself to? [08:12] HymnToLife: because he's not behind a router. That'd be his subnet [08:12] i don;t know [08:12] T`, my cpu fan is off but turns on when it heats up and i forget where i changed it [08:12] Mantice: Long Time Support, or Long Term, or something like that. [08:12] i think its in my bios [08:12] clever_, thats what i need! [08:12] Mantice: long term support. [08:12] clever_, really? bios .. hmm [08:12] im on a dell laptop [08:12] on acer here [08:12] both of my dells do that [08:12] So if I order it now from ship it when its released it will come in the mail ? [08:13] Mantice: yes, shipit orders are for dapper. They wont be sent until after june1, obviously. [08:13] ok cai just tried to run apache2 and it said permission denied could not bind to address [::] :80 [08:13] Yeah [08:13] Thanks Fannel [08:13] vars: it's already running [08:13] good [08:13] can anyone see my website [08:14] your router i think is blocking every1 [08:14] well that is cute [08:14] you can only access from a pc thats on your side of the router [08:14] vars> you have to forward port 80 [08:14] till you edit the security [08:14] HymnToLife, please tell me how to do that [08:15] vars > depends on your router, RTFM ;) [08:15] for the love of pete, can someone tell me how to stop my vmware server? [08:15] i got a site which explains on about 200 diferent routers [08:16] vars, check http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm [08:16] can someone please help me remove vmware from my system? [08:16] hi [08:16] rob138, where did you get vmware for linux? [08:16] how can i lauch amule ? i type amule and it doesnt work (in console) [08:16] does anyone know which mplayer works with windows media streamlink? [08:16] clever_ from vmware.com [08:17] HellDragon: i just do it from Applications->Internet->aMule [08:17] its not there ademan [08:17] clever_ it's the player [08:17] player? [08:18] clever_, ii got the right make and modle what am i looking for? [08:19] ahh i see now [08:19] clever_ VMWare palyer [08:19] if i remove /etc/init.d/vmware will vmware stop from starting when i start ubuntu? [08:20] HymnToLife, that was an inappropriate way to say that [08:20] rob: didn't seem to help me any. [08:20] to say what ? [08:21] vars > depends on your router, RTFM ;) [08:21] we do not use that four letter acronym here [08:21] dmizer huh? [08:21] i bet you feel nuts elkbuntu [08:21] HellDragon, eh? [08:21] what does RTFM mean? [08:21] rob: i can't get rid of vmware either. [08:21] !rtfm [08:21] HymnToLife: Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/ [08:21] vars it means: read the * manual [08:21] read the f... manual [08:22] fill in the star [08:22] ok i agree i should read the manua; [08:22] elkbuntu> notice the smiley right after it [08:22] dmizer, crap. i really want to [08:22] i don't know what file stars the **** thing, but it's persistent. [08:22] actually derived from 'read the fsck manpage' or so i've been told [08:22] dmizer, yeah now i can't boot the kernel it installed itself to cuz it'll either freeze or kill my internet [08:23] HymnToLife, the term should still not be used, it's arrogant and rude [08:23] shit [08:23] kills my internet too. [08:23] because it creates a network bridge === dv_____ is now known as dv_ [08:23] dmizer, oh thats what that is [08:23] dmizer, so what do you do? [08:24] rob: i haven't completely figured it out yet, but it doesn't start the bridge with interfaces. [08:24] ok that website that clever_ gave me explainde what port forwarding is but not how [08:24] dmizer, what do you mean [08:24] under the fowarding link in the top list it should show how to do it for nearly all routers [08:25] rob: network devices are enabled during boot through an interfaces file in /etc/network called interfaces. [08:25] rob: but vmware enables it's network bridge somewher else. [08:26] dmizer, right i know that, but then there is a vmware service that starts the vmnet services that kill the other /etc/network ones [08:26] i think? [08:26] hmm.. i havent cleaned old kernels out since i installed... iirc you just do the complete removal for the ones no longer needed, right? [08:26] rob: that is exactly correct, and i can't find it. [08:26] rob: i'd like to put a bullet in it's head ... lol [08:26] What filesystem type should I use for a 40 GB HD to be used as random file storage (music, pictures, documents) for an Ubuntu 5.10 system? [08:27] robl38, i want to use and activate evolution mail... how? [08:27] dmizer, it wasn't /etc/init.d/vmware? agreed, i am kicking myself for installing it, i had a solid system until this little fucker [08:27] Icomey, fat16 [08:27] Will that work for 40 GB? [08:27] Icomey, If it's just for Ubuntu, then ext3 [08:27] Icomey, ext3 or if you dual boot maybe fat32 [08:27] lol, don't you use fat16 [08:27] he he :) [08:27] how do i create a static ip addres? [08:27] lendyl what? [08:27] reiserfs [08:27] laba diena [08:27] rob: i completely removed the /etc/init.d/vmware folder from my system, and it still comes up.

[08:28] vars: i have a headless router running with one static and one dhcp nic in it if you want the interfaces file [08:28] i thought it was 82 or 83...

[08:30] Aqui1a> of cource, since Ubuntu and Kubuntu are the same thing [08:30] Aqui1a, of course, providing you get all the dependancies, which can be quite a few libs sometimes [08:30] what is a cli browser? [08:30] Aqui1a, you may need extra packages to satisfy deps but apt should pick it up [08:30] rather a name [08:31] eh? lol [08:31] vars: you could just wget the file and edit it [08:31] Aqui1a, most programs etc. work in kde and in gnome, but well.. it's just better to use gnome apps in gnome and kde apps in kde. [08:31] vars: otherwise you have links and lynx for cli http browsing. [08:31] slackern, wow htat is easy [08:31] rob, thanks [08:32] One more question, where would you recommend I mount it? [08:32] if we could only patch qt or gtk to use the other's file dialogue boxes [08:32] please help me with this, i cant get any mp3/avi/mpg/midi file to play, what do i need to install or do? [08:32] Icomey, check your /etc/fstab you'll find entries that will mount it on boot [08:32] ahh wonderful, today is windows support friends day *pukes* [08:32] !tell rencrash about multimedia [08:32] rencrash: search the wiki for restricted formats [08:33] does anyone know how to remove vmware/something that starts with the kernel??? [08:33] heh slackern [08:33] Icomey, unless you want it mounted elsewere created the directories then edit fstab [08:33] how do i install some thing from my desktop [08:33] slackern: i don't support windows any more, even for my family [08:33] disinterseted_pe: is it a .deb file? [08:33] no a tar file [08:33] oh [08:33] heh [08:33] spikeb: well i have to more or less for the money :), i usually demand a little fee and i can't afford not to :) [08:33] disinterseted_pe> what are you trying to install ? [08:33] slackern: that's a good idea [08:34] great slackern [08:34] slackern: i'll have to remember that [08:34] mplayer plug in [08:34] hold up... [08:34] spikeb: and this guy always buys kebabs and stuff before i get to work since his computer is always such a mess :) [08:35] disinterseted_pe, I run dapper and use deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main for mplayer etc [08:35] slackern: haha [08:35] rob: there is an uninstaller for vmware in /etc/bin called vmware-uninstall.pl [08:35] ok i'll try it [08:35] dmizer have you tried it?? [08:35] rob: going to directly. [08:36] disinterseted_pe, check out http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ [08:36] rob: works. [08:36] dmizer i just did and got a lot of "Somebody else apparently did it already." [08:36] disinterseted_pe, probably if on breezy go with debian stable source [08:37] hymntolife. wat does a broken pipe mean? its a message after i use evolution -mail... how can i activate that? [08:37] dmizer did you get a lot of those? [08:37] rob: i did, but it removed vmware. [08:37] ok which one lol [08:37] dmizer, thank god [08:37] rob: no doubt. [08:38] noiesmo, I was recommend to reiserfs. [08:38] rob: google is magic. lol [08:38] hmm, stop that [08:38] er ... [08:38] recommended [08:38] rob: sorry.

I recommend you google for an iptables howto [09:43] no [09:44] vars_: I would recommend reading up a bit on shorewall since it's quite easy to understand and maintain when you've understood the documentation for it, i spent a day with it and reading guides and such [09:44] disinterseted_pe, try this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DMA [09:45] that is coo [09:45] ubotu dma is Experiencing jumpy DVD playback? Try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DMA [09:45] ...but dma is already something else...

Your attitude may determine their willingness to help you. [10:26] Hello: Does anyone here have an Epson C88 printer? [10:26] sandy16: if they're not in a terminal window I'm not sure you can [10:26] How do I make Amarok play MP3s? [10:27] Apparently it won't play any of my Mp3s... [10:27] sandy16: if they're in X and have a gui terminal open you can send messages with write [10:27] !mp3 [10:27] mp3 is, like, a non-free format.

[10:28] polpak: somebody has suggested me to use "xmessage" but it is not working from a remote terminal === olive is now known as olive_ [10:28] was typing apt-get install, needed to type sudo apt-get install === olive_ is now known as olive [10:28] 8-) lol no worries :) you got it sorted the main thing [10:28] when im running a few things in apt-get i run sudo su first to put me in root [10:29] dont need sudo then [10:29] polpak: are you about to suggest me the write command in bash? [10:29] but remember to exit when ur done root [10:29] hey [10:29] sandy16: write works yes [10:29] mp3 [10:29] what does a encrypte file system mean in real terms [10:29] still having a problem with make-jpkg tho [10:29] cant find package ? [10:30] vmadmin: means the filesystem is encrypted [10:30] Where can I find a driver (or better yet, the escape-sequences) for an Epson C88 printer? [10:30] polpak: how you write read and exe to an excrpted file system please [10:31] vmadmin: you don't.. You have to have the kernel do it for you [10:31] encrypted [10:31] i hope i won't have to compile the aRts plugin for Xine to get it.. maybe there's a version in an official respository somewhere? [10:31] nn04 whats the problem with the make-jpkg package ? [10:31] I can't remember how to ask ubotu a question... [10:31] vmadmin: typically the kernel is configured to know that the filesystem is encrypted, and when it mounts it initially it will prompt for a password. If you don't have the right password it cannot be mounted (read, etc) [10:32] vmadmin: it can still be wiped.. but the data is protected from unauthorized reading [10:32] cant find it [10:32] sorry was running a quick search but yea it cant find the make-jpkg package [10:32] brn : i think you can setup epson printers in system > admin > printing [10:32] polpak ; i saw this how to here http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Encrypted_Filesystem might give it a try [10:33] nn04 try http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto to add more reps [10:33] vmadmin: make sure you have backups of your data.. if you screw it up, you will have a hard/impossible time repairing it ;p [10:33] polpak; its on bb 5-10 [10:33] is there a way that i could backup my ubuntu settings and apps that i have installed ont it so if i had to redo it i dont need to redo everything? [10:33] polpak: if you look at url its a clean start [10:34] might be the package is in univers multiverse etc and ur source list doesnt include those reps [10:34] o ic, will try that, be back in 5 [10:34] In Nautilus i've connected to Samba shares, but in Firefox the shares are not connected. How can i make sure that i can access my files on those shares in Firefox? [10:34] vmadmin: ok then. have fun =) [10:34] kl gl with it nn04 [10:34] is there a way to have module-assistant to use my latest version of gcc? [10:34] like the one it is pointing to alreay? [10:35] polpak: i will :) [10:35] and not the old version? [10:35] alguien sabe cual es el canal de ubuntu en espaol???? [10:35] How does one ask Ubotu a questio? [10:35] [10:36] polpak: say i get it up and running then install vmware that might be another story? [10:36] alguien sabe cual es el canal de ubuntu en espaol???? [10:36] eric_m: Thanks but I have tried that. The printer works with an 'alternate' driver but features are missing. I think I goofed when I bought the critter but here I am. [10:36] qzzhong: this is america. speak english [10:36] vmadmin: if linux is the hosting OS you should be fine [10:36] somebody knows how is de ubuntu channel in spanish? [10:37] polpack: yes its bb 5-10 server [10:37] brn there is a linux driver for epson out there will have a quick look [10:37] jerware: While I agree that typing in a foreign language isn't useful, perhaps you could be a little more PC about it. And who's to say any of us are in America? [10:37] lol sweet it worked, didnt realize that i didnt enable all of the repositories [10:37] !es [10:37] Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda. [10:38] that's for you mindframe [10:38] nn04 good stuff [10:38] linuxneophyte: you just send a private message to ubotu [10:38] ok, thanks!! [10:38] yeah most ppl skip over the reps hihi [10:38] thanks a lot erik, owe you one [10:38] linuxneophyte: :P [10:38] its ok [10:38] how can i block www.somesite.com access in some computer of my network? [10:39] Thanks hyphenated. [10:39] asdx: depends on how your network is configured [10:39] brn u still about ? [10:39] polpak: it's a basic configuration [10:40] asdx: define "basic" [10:40] asdx: there's no 'basic' solution. the simplest is to add www.somesite.com to your /etc/hosts file [10:40] with an IP address that doesn't work. but that's a crap way [10:40] i can't access ubuntuforums.org. anybody else with this problem? [10:40] hyphenated: he wants to prevent access from a different computer [10:40] yeah [10:40] ok, so add it in that machine's /etc/hosts file [10:41] eric_m: I know I stumbled when I bought the Epson. I never considered that they would sell a printer that could not print. I am mortified. Epson "Customer Service" is dissapointng. The thing works but... [10:41] the other machine has windows [10:41] asdx: windows has a hosts file [10:41] brn http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_ink.html [10:41] might help ya a bit :)) [10:41] if it's worth your time, you'd install a proxy, and force other machines to use the proxy by blocking direct access to the internet [10:41] heh [10:41] linuxneophyte: hey can u suggest me a method to send a messge to a user (loggedin at GUI) and me using a remote terminal connection [10:41] www.ubuntuforums.org <--- can anybody access this site, or is it just me? [10:41] hyphenated: or if he's natting, he can block it with iptables [10:41] brn : cant mind what model ya said but it might be in there [10:42] i'm natting [10:42] http://www.ubuntuforums.org <--- can anybody access this site, or is it just me?

[10:42] asdx: does the site have a fixed address? [10:42] polpak: just one last question if you at the end of the url i posted it says after the filesystem is encrypted apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, in my case i will run this script that installs a vmware ready sysyem from here http://www.howtoforums.net/viewtopic.php?t=5 sory for lng question [10:42] brn : for distro try debian might work (should work) although might not lol [10:42] bigfoot1: At least once a week the site seems to be down. [10:42] polpak: yes [10:42] look [10:42] autosuggested: is that so? [10:42] hyphenated: you can use a dns name with iptables I think [10:42] i didn't know that, autosuggested [10:43] hyphenated: fixed address? [10:43] bigfoot1: It seems to be up at the moment though.

[11:07] can any .bin be converted to .deb? [11:07] erik_m, if it were me, I'd use tcpdump to see exactly what's happening. if forwarding is on, and your computer is doing nat, that's all that should be necessary [11:08] DOES ANYBODY KNOW ?!

[11:34] #ubuntu [11:34] is Suse taking over ubuntu on distrowatch? [11:34] why [11:34] samuel_: it's gaining on it quite quickly, I think, yes :) [11:34] aftertaf: Thanks. I just downloaded (hopefully) a driver for a brand-new Epson printer. The only option was RPM.

[11:59] moonysuny, your welcome [12:00] spikeb, grab it save it in a file in your home directory [12:00] just did [12:00] ...opps... My mistake. I was thinking of "Dapper Drake". Whien anyway?

Now if only I can get #*!$ gcc to work... [12:03] spikeb, it can't handle the character set [12:03] ompaul: ahh ok [12:03] so many people are here ,i come here the first time, glad to meet you [12:03] brn was there not a .deb package on that site ? [12:03] brn System Administration Printing [12:03] what could be the problem with the sending of my email? the smtp server name is right but it gives me this error = Error while performing operation.

Does anyone here have any experience using LyX/LaTex? What's the code for the conjugation symbol? [12:06] lol johannes_erik [12:06] ompaul: Tried. I have a "working" printer but there are features available for Windows that I miss with Linux. I would be more comfortable with a printer that I could address directly (in manchine language, which I am comfortable with) but it gets tougher as the years go by. [12:07] brn did u install CUPS ? [12:07] !mp3 [12:07] mp3 is, like, totally, a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats [12:07] Hi. Does anyone have a writeup to publish netatalk and ssh via avahi? [12:07] johannes_erik, its there by default you just don't interface with it the same way [12:08] johannes_erik, have you set up routes for the traffic to find the outside world [12:08] how do i give apt-get root rights ? [12:08] rencrash, again I say :-) rencrash, sudo apt-get install PACKAGE [12:08] hello [12:09] ompaul : hi , i have and still no go [12:09] ompaul: can I pick your brain for a sec please [12:09] rencrash, did you understand that? >>>> sudo apt-get install Package<< [12:09] yes thanks you ompaul [12:09] vmadmin, you know the gig ask the channel if I know I pitch in [12:10] ompaul; ok will do [12:10] johannes_erik, and the gateway is known to the down stream machines [12:10] johannes: As far as I know I do have CUPS. I found (thanks to another respondent here) a site in Japan that seems to offer the exact driver for my exact model of Epson printer. I have downloaded both the RPM and "source" (I think) and haven't tried either yet. "News at eleven" as they say on TV. [12:11] brn, thats what you say when it works :-) [12:11] i was the other respondant , im using a diffrent machine now (nbetwork probs) [12:11] but yeah discard the rpm [12:11] your gonna have to go by the source [12:12] brn, rpm is not your friend, it is not apt to be friendly to your machine [12:12] ompau: You got it there my friend. I wish I knew what I was doing but I don't. But yet I stick to Linux and Ubuntu. Go figure. [12:12] ompaul thanks again got it up [12:12] jus so ompaul can follow if wants to lol , the drivers r filters and descrips to go with CUPS for epson printers [12:12] rencrash, there is a "driver Section" in that applicaiton I pointed to [12:13] in the url here i have been asked to make a partitions for boot and swap and addidional partiions for he future, its it ok form this point of view just to make a boot and swap partition now ans resize later? here is the url http://doc.gwos.org/index.php?title=Encrypted_Filesystem&redirect=no [12:13] !usb [12:13] parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, ubuntu_ [12:14] brn jus checking the source see if i can help ya compile it [12:15] vmadmin, why on earth do you want an encrypted filesystem, and there is something on the Ubuntu Wiki about that afik https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedFilesystemHowto?highlight=%28encrypted%29%7C%28filesystem%29 [12:15] vmadmin, and set all your partitions up first [12:16] ompaul: i asked a questions its ubuntu related and now you are asking me whay on earth? its not fair its seems I canoot do anything correct [12:16] johannes: THanks! I have never had luck with gcc. Getting old, I admit that I would rather just grab a binary. [12:17] how might I search through the list of packages via cli? grep some list that is downloaded with apt-get I'm guessing? [12:17] Can I ask an experinced C++ programmer a question in IM? (Deald with 11 lines of code) [12:17] vmadmin, okay, I gave you the faq on it, the only time you want an encrypted filesystem is if you have peoples creditcard details on it, wages or state secrets cos you will have a lot of problems trying to recover if anything goes wrong [12:17] brn yeah but its always good to go from source ! harder but better! :) [12:18] not to mention the CPU and speed overhead involved with encryped filesystems [12:18] ompaul: its wages and salary items [12:18] um [12:18] how can i use photoshop on ubuntu ? [12:19] ubuntu_, use GIMP... [12:19] but GIMP isnt as good as photoshop [12:19] johannes: I agree but fact is as I get older, patience and memory both fade. Trust this: I would rather die with Linux than live with Windows. But that is just me talking to myself. [12:19] killercacti: apt-cache [12:19] ubuntu_, blashpemy, of course it is! anyhow, photoshop doesnt work with linux... [12:19] Ng: I'll check it out, thanks [12:19] how can i capture kernel log messages if the notebook freezes on startup but doesn't have a serial port? [12:20] ah crap [12:20] ubuntu_, apparently older versions of PS (PS 7, I think) run in Wine... but have a go with the gimp, it's better than you might htink [12:20] ubuntu_, okay so maybe wine / crossover office might help but that is all [12:20] brn u do ./configure [12:20] ? [12:20] tbf: you pretty much can't, unless they show up on screen and you can take a picture :/ [12:20] think, even... [12:20] I LOVE PS7 [12:20] only one I use ! [12:20] ubuntu_, less language thanks [12:20] ubuntu_: Codeweavers Crossover can run some versions of Photosop, but you have to buy it [12:20] Ng: damn, i knew linux suxors! ;-D [12:20] ok whats wine and where do i get it [12:20] no man [12:20] this is my first day on linux [12:20] ubuntu_, really, unless you are a REALLY professional photoshopper, gimp can handle you. GIMP even supports photoshop plugins =) [12:21] tbf: it has nothing to do with linux, laptop manufacturers suck for taking serial ports away :/ [12:21] i just got mp3 working feeeeels good [12:21] !wine [12:21] yes im a pro [12:21] oh boy!! finally found the problemw hy i can't hibernate [12:21] !wine [12:21] ompaul: at leat I have not mentioned the D word? [12:21] !tell ubuntu_ about wine [12:21] i changed my partition and the initrd image still has resume=/dev/hda5 [12:21] Anyone know how I can get a usb joystick device to work? [12:21] instead of hda6 [12:21] !!! [12:21] T`: Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/ [12:21] I need dreamweaver 8 and notepad ++ [12:21] I did hope it'd just work out of the box, but noooo. [12:21] how do i update the initrd image? (i just pass in the args thru menu.lst now ) [12:21] anyone know? [12:21] vmadmin, you have me lost, but lets not go there [12:22] did someone just say buy ? [12:22] ubuntu_, instead of dw, try Nvu - it's in Ubuntu's repositories. [12:22] ubuntu_, no you don't [12:22] tompaul: thanks for the FAQ [12:22] vmadmin, :) [12:22] brn in the dir you extracted the src for the printer file [12:22] ./configure [12:22] make install [12:22] Ng: why should they built in legacy serial ports if their only use is capturing linux kernel logs, but the notebook features zillions of other ports? [12:22] nvu thankyou [12:22] direct ex [12:23] whats it under ? [12:23] ubuntu_, click on System Administration Synaptic to install software [12:23] ubuntu_, Applications->Add Applications, just search for nvu [12:24] tbf: some of us need/use serial ports all the time to talk to other hardware :) [12:24] ok thanks [12:24] Madpilot, one of these days I will remember that one, /me sulks and goes back to his command line ;-) [12:24] tbf: as long as new hardware products are released with serial interfaces, I would not describe a serial port as "legacy", but this is getting a bit off-topic for here [12:24] cause i would switch to linux if I can have dreamweaver 8, PS7 and mozilla lol [12:24] Anyone know how I can get a usb joystick device to work? [12:24] ubuntu_, by 'mozilla', do you mean the browser (Firefox is already installed) or what? [12:25] ull get mozilla ubuntu_ :) [12:25] ubuntu_: you'll have mozilla :) [12:25] Johannes: Got that so far. tar, etc. No probem there. But every *nix source file I have tried to compile has crashed. You gotta know that I am an old "hardware skunk" who programs computers only when absolutely necessary. [12:25] yeah i have mozilla im happy with that [12:25] I also need flash 8 [12:25] and i heard flash player 8 is not supported by linux yet !

[12:27] !enter [12:27] Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. [12:27] im loving it too ubuntu_ [12:27] there is a beta of flash 8.5 for linux, ubuntu_ [12:27] im about to strangle kubuntu [12:27] can you link me please [12:27] ubuntu_: sure let me find something [12:27] !flash 8 [12:27] ubuntu_: parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/ [12:27] damn lol [12:28] Its about time I removed the multiboot part - if only I could get this vpn to work [12:28] spikeb: there's a flash 8.5 beta? where? [12:28] i am looking [12:28] assclown, want to get a nicer nick, please? [12:28] they might have closed the public beta, but i didnt hear of that [12:28] are you serious ? [12:28] assclown, entirely [12:29] ... [12:29] Ng: yup, it's off-topic as this doesn't help me on solving those ACPI vs. SATA or whatver issues === assclown is now known as asshat [12:29] :/ === asshat is now known as asshat_ [12:29] MistaED and ubuntu_ : seems the public beta isn't available anymore. sorry [12:29] ompaul; very iitresting article i will print it out it isolder the url i gave you but the baiscs are the same , many thanks apologies for my silly outbust before [12:29] Im using a live-cd and im installing all this stuff [12:30] interesting [12:30] brn sry was away from computer for a sec [12:30] !wine [12:30] spikeb: to the bittorrent! [12:30] asshat_, still not funny. Last warning... [12:30] ok in terminal === asshat_ is now known as Jel === Jel is now known as Jel_ [12:31] brn cd to the directory , #./configure #make #make install [12:31] is this OK ? [12:31] alright i could get used to ubuntu :D [12:32] hi there [12:32] hi [12:32] anyone got dapper updated? [12:32] Jel_, much better [12:32] brn post back any errors you get on the way :) [12:32] when I goto update manager and it loads a new list are these actually going to be installed? Because I have random stuff like stuff for kde but Im running xfce and never installed kde on this system. random stuff like cd browing plugin for konqerer and such. [12:32] ok guys im downloading wine and its a .deb file [12:32] !.deb [12:32] Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, ubuntu_ [12:33] ompaul: yiu said set up all your partitions first -that means no resizeing in this howto you actaully install the full syatem later [12:33] cuz i got a segfault on pdfnup program (pdfjam package) even after reinstall it, if anyone can try a simple $ pdfnup file.pdf and tell me if segfaults... [12:33] ubuntu_, wine is in repos - switch to Synaptic and get it from there [12:33] for the love of god i cannot figure out why grub refuses to install... [12:33] ok thanks man [12:33] im about to strange this thing... [12:33] johannes: I have untarred the file in my ~/download directory. are you sure about the syntax #./configure etc? I will try it [12:33] how can you change the ubunto skin ? [12:33] its to bright its burning my eyes [12:34] i put the # to show that thats the start of a command to type [12:34] dont actualy put the # [12:34] ubuntu_ just wondering also what your screen refresh rate is at right now? [12:34] :) [12:34] 60 [12:34] im feeling dizzy [12:34] That isnt too good for your eyes:-\ [12:34] im so used to windows [12:34] ubuntu_: system->preferences->theme [12:34] ubuntu_, System->Prefs->Theme [12:35] what refresh rate do i put it at [12:35] ubotu, tell ubuntu_ about fixres [12:35] ompaul Madpilot, this just arrived in my mail https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases <-- we soo needed this would !feature be a good name for it? [12:35] ubuntu_, a little change goes a huge way [12:35] anything above 60hz;) [12:35] its 60 [12:35] hmm [12:35] ubuntu_, if you are on a live CD really you should wait until you install [12:35] ompaul, how about !timetable [12:35] how much space is needed for ubuntu ? [12:35] im trying to resize [12:35] ohh, your on live cd alright [12:36] im at 60hz too but lcds are different [12:36] ubuntu_: default install is about 1.8 gigs [12:36] ok thanks [12:36] ubotu, you want *more* tehn 2 gig [12:36] Kamping_Kaiser: Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/ [12:36] ubuntu_: I recommend putting at least 5/6 gigs for / partition [12:36] preferably 3 [12:36] if not more [12:36] um ok [12:36] ubuntu_ you migh want to make the partition 5-10gigs depending on wether or not you download big files a lot. [12:36] ubuntu_, dont use anything less then 6 - I learnt the hard way [12:36] how to install a live-cd? [12:36] Madpilot, that also reason is this, people come in and say "Foo Version New" is out why is that not in Breezy / Dapper etc [12:36] ok ive given it 8GB [12:36] ompaul, yeah, I know [12:37] what file system does linux need ? [12:37] ext3 is a good choice [12:37] ubuntu_, ext3 is the default [12:37] ok [12:37] is it a primary partition ? [12:37] johannes: I tried #./ configure. Didn't work. Then I tried ./cofigure and it reported "cannot configure executeables". Bummer! [12:37] the installer can do reformatting/partitioning for you [12:37] ubuntu yeah [12:37] because i want to run windows and and linux [12:37] brn: have you installed the build-essential package? [12:37] ubotu, tell ubuntu_ about dualboot [12:37] and how do i choose which operating system i want to use at start up [12:38] ah thanks :D [12:38] How shuld I go about reformating this external hard drive so it has ext3 instead of NTFS? [12:38] brn ok :) read back i said that # was a new line indicator , its ok tho :) [12:38] but that is a bummer [12:38] ??? "build-essential package? [12:38] I just did what your wanting to do ubuntu_ - multiboot after reducing a ntfs partition without losing data [12:38] i was going by the fact the was a configure file [12:38] ok [12:38] Ubuntu_ if you have windows xp partition that already takes up the full drive then you will have to resize it then create a new primary partition for a ext3 linux partition I think. [12:38] ive made a new partition [12:38] ubotu, timetable is Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes new releases miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. [12:39] okay, Madpilot [12:39] yeah [12:39] i have a 30GB partition for windows and 8GB for linux [12:39] cool cool [12:39] What did you use to make the new partition ??? [12:39] ubotu, tell ompaul about timetable [12:39] looks like your set [12:39] and windows is ntfs and linux is ext3 [12:39] uh [12:39] ntfs :| [12:39] is that bad ? [12:39] ubuntu_: gnu/linux *can* be ext3; reiser is also a popular filesystem format [12:39] mines the same 30/8 [12:40] Madpilot, I was almost finished :-) okay leave it as one only [12:40] hahaha [12:40] ubuntu_ you wont be able to write to your ntfs hard drive from linux [12:40] with ntfs [12:40] brn ./configure in the directory works here :-o , u sure ur in the pips... dir ? [12:40] there is only 8mb space left on my windows partion [12:40] but that is what I have right now [12:40] oh lol [12:40] What did you use to repartition ubuntu_ [12:40] gparted [12:40] ompaul, I just edited !timetable slightly [12:40] 8megabytes? [12:40] wow [12:41] How should I go about reformating this external hard drive so it has ext3 instead of NTFS? [12:41] i rezised my windows partion to 30GB from 38GB and made the new partion ext 3 [12:41] What utilites are available to wipe NTFS partitions on USB drives? [12:41] oh so its about 38gig hard drive than [12:41] Madkiss, :-) good stuff [12:41] yah [12:41] pinky: mkfs.ext3 /dev/location [12:41] Madpilot, :-) good stuff (tab errors) [12:41] 40GB..but yeah 38 [12:42] when i get on windows i need to uninstall some crap ! [12:42] johannes: (and thank you for your patience) the tar.gz file is in ~/download and the unzipped source is in a subdirectory. This is where I am at right now. [12:42] ubuntu_, less langauge please [12:42] Anyone know how I can get a usb joystick device to work? [12:42] ubuntu_: all of windows, that is. [12:42] oh sorry [12:42] haha :P [12:42] Hmm, Ubuntu_ did you create a swap partition? [12:42] no [12:42] whats a swap partion ? [12:42] apokryphos: can I say /dev/sdc to do the whole drive as one partition instead of /dev/sdc1? [12:43] brn ok :) dont worry u will get it installed: ) , ok so in the subdir in a terminal ? [12:43] apokryphos: I currently have a /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc2 both of which are NTFS, and both of which I'd like erased. [12:43] pinky: hm, I'm not sure. Could go the graphical way to be sure; gparted. [12:43] its like virtual memory if you fill up your real memory. [12:43] I only need a /dev/sdc1 [12:43] ah ok [12:43] um [12:43] how much for swap then ? [12:43] Best thing for new users like me is to leave the free space as it is and let ubuntu setup partition it for you [12:43] maybe 512- a gig? [12:43] ok 1GB it is. [12:43] im on a laptop by the way [12:44] same lol [12:44] this doesnt interfere with anything does it ? [12:44] Johannes: No terminal. This is a solo compter, albeit somewhat ancient. [12:44] What type of laptop ubuntu_ [12:44] ompaul: wassabi? [12:44] I_Love_DRM: it will automatically shrink the partition? [12:44] I couldnt answer that question, :-\ [12:44] don't recall seeing that option on ubuntu [12:44] brn ok just so i understand , ur using gnome gui ? [12:44] ok guys [12:44] is the file system linux_swap ? [12:44] brn im a bit slow sometimes lol [12:45] ubuntu_ yeah fo the swap partition [12:45] Johannes: Yes. Gnome and Ubuntu 5.10. [12:45] thanks [12:45] I just shrunk the ntfs partition with symantec partition magic then ket the Ubuntu setup worry about swap/ext3 [12:45] ok [12:45] its applying the changes ! [12:45] I got an error ! [12:45] Madpilot, your edit is good, and I got caught with a tab the line preceeding [12:45] but i cant see anything ! [12:45] ...I think I have all the supported packages loaded. [12:46] I_Love_DRM, LOL i like the name but not drm [12:46] ubuntu_ do you have enough room to create a swap of one gig right now btw? [12:46] ok brn go to apps top left accessory > terminal [12:46] damn [12:46] um [12:47] i didnt have enough space [12:47] oops [12:47] !enter [12:47] Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. [12:47] haha, thats ok, you can resize the ubuntu partition to 7gigs [12:47] linux partition I mean, whatever you want to call it [12:48] how to enable root to login through GUI [12:48] ok im being more generous with space [12:48] ;) [12:48] Sandy16, that's really not recommended - or needed... [12:48] Ubuntu is a piece of crap, I've been trying for hours to get these dance pads to work, which should just work as usb joysticks, but there are no joystick devices or anything in /dev or /dev/input [12:48] sudo should be enough! [12:48] Johannes: Keep going. Now I have two terminal windows on the screen. Is this right? (You think you're slow? Try me.) [12:48] !tell Sandy16 about root [12:48] damn it [12:49] Sandy16, please read the message from the bot, the url is really what I want you to read [12:49] it keeps failing with the swap ! [12:49] Mukunda: There are quite a few people who would disagree with you. :) [12:49] brn :-) ok now cd right into the dir where files are extracted [12:49] Hello. Does anyone have any tips for performance? I get a lot of skipped frames when I'm playing video. It seemed to work slightly better under XP - any advice to maybe stop processes that are running by default and not needed? [12:49] ubuntu_, is there anything on the ext3 you made? [12:49] ubuntu_, you are installing on another machine? [12:49] nope [12:49] Tedd: they can disagree all they want, but it won't make the usb joystick devices work. [12:49] there is a previous ext3 with a massive 8MB size :D :P [12:49] ohhhhh [12:50] mola [12:50] ok im going to do one thing at a time [12:50] Mukunda: This is true. The simple answer would be...if you don't like it, don't use it, don't complain [12:50] brn now #dir (ignore my # they show a new line, dont actualy type # :) ) [12:50] Johannes: Now I am in the directory wiith hte unzipped printer driver stuff. Now what? [12:50] guys its not working [12:50] Mukunda, please reboot when usb fails it helps more times than it does not - devfs is dead and udev can and should work with little effort [12:50] i press apply [12:50] and it does stuff [12:51] brn as u probably know that list all the files , just check to confirm a file called configure is there [12:51] then it refreshes and its back to normal [12:51] ubuntu_, are you installing from a live CD? [12:51] brn now #./configure [12:51] im not installing [12:51] im changin the partitions from a live cd [12:51] using gparted [12:51] www. chat . com [12:52] johannes: Got it. Configure appears to be executeable if I understand the color-coding. [12:52] hey also, i have the the dapper drake flight 7 disc [12:52] ompaul: done that. [12:52] should I install that ? [12:52] brn it may fail yet any errors ? [12:53] ? [12:53] Is ext3 preferable over ext2 on external hard drives as well? [12:53] ubuntu_, if you do a Breezy install, you'll be able to update/upgrade that to Dapper when you want to [12:54] Mukunda, have a poke around here, I don't have one so am not familar with their workings: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=joystick&fullsearch=Text [12:54] Ubuntu_ what type of internet connection do you have ? [12:54] brn will be back in a second [12:54] ompaul: I've tried, I'll check that though. [12:54] how can I add new user to the linux? [12:54] 22MBIT [12:54] OlliL: adduser foo [12:54] olliK adduser [12:54] When i try to add user like: sudo adduser name group, it says "The user 'name' does not exist. === ubuntu_ is now known as Corey [12:55] How could it exist becuase I'm just trying to create it? I don't get it [12:55] did you say 22mbit? [12:55] yes [12:55] :D [12:55] I have one question. If I upgrade to Dapper using gksudo ... will Avidemux, Azureus, etc still work? I've installed those using Automatix [12:56] 22,000kbs [12:56] Does anyone know how to add a user to linux using adduser-command? I've looked from man adduser and it seems to be just like: "sudo adduser thename thegroup" [12:56] I download at like 2500 kb a second ^_^ [12:56] Corey, wow. [12:56] But for me, it says "adduser: The user 'theuser' does not exist." [12:56] I wish I had that type of connection. [12:56] its hell cheap [12:56] pinky: yes. I'd say so, since it's entirely possible a read is interrupted on an external drive. [12:56] if you in australia ! [12:56] $80 including line rental for telephone ! [12:56] brn back , u get anywhere with the ./configure ? [12:57] Johannes: It reports: "Checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executeables" [12:57] so reaaly..its $45 for adsl++2 [12:57] Corey, that is not bad at all. [12:57] pinky: obviously I meant a write, but you get the idea [12:57] Corey, I would would install breezy then update to dapper when you need to or want to. [12:57] http://sourceforge.net/projects/bloodymary [12:58] now THAT'S useful [12:58] Ill be getting 22mb when I move to brisbane next month. [12:58] brn hmmmmm should be a.out [12:58] Can anyone help me with "adduser" command? [12:58] well im still new [12:58] so ill just go with breezy badger :d [12:58] :D [12:58] Corey: great idea [12:58] ahhhhh, I am still waiting for FTTP to come to my area so I can get 15Mbit/s [12:59] I have one question. If I upgrade to Dapper using gksudo ... will Avidemux, Azureus, etc still work? I've installed those using Automatix [12:59] brn #sudo apt-get install gcc [12:59] connection problem [12:59] brn to make sure ur gcc is latest [01:00] ok im happy with ubuntu [01:00] OlliK: try this [01:00] This is the only linux distro that hasn't been fdisk /mbr'd after a week [01:00] so has anybody been able to run photoshop 7 with wine ? [01:00] sudo -s then after that just type adduser name group etc... [01:00] Corey, Don't ask for too much dude :) [01:00] Johannes: I could compile C source on this computer a long(?) time ago when I had RedHat v.6, but not siince then. [01:00] Corey: in theory it works [01:00] Corey: Try The GIMP? [01:00] I didnt like the gump [01:01] gimp** [01:01] GIMP r0x0r. [01:01] And it's free. [01:01] bah [01:01] haha [01:01] get used to it, gimp rules [01:01] Corey: Why's that? [01:01] corey photoshop works fine with windows... [01:01] Yes I know that but i want to use linux [01:01] Corey: Codeweavers Crossover runs some versions of photoshop if you don't mind paying, but it ought to work ok in recent WINEs I would think [01:01] brn i know the feeling used to run slackware loved that ditro but so akward, but anyway lol u try the spt-get thing ? [01:01] codeweavers seem to feed their changes back in [01:01] *apt-get [01:02] Corey: Have you tried Gimpshop? [01:02] yeah, so wine makes .exe work does it ? [01:02] gimpshop ? [01:02] Corey: some exe's, yeah [01:02] Johannes: I appear to have gcc v 4.0.2 here. [01:02] I used gimp image editor and didnt like it [01:02] Well until dapper can take a usb joystick and go out of the box, it's crap. [01:02] Corey: That's why I asked *why* you prefer Photoshop... Gimpshop is made specifically to look and act like Photoshop's interface. [01:02] Corey, you don't like it because you're not used to it. [01:02] gimpshop makes gimp more like photoshop [01:02] It's probably because you are unfamiliar with the GIMP [01:03] like everyone needs a usb joystick [01:03] anyone who isn't familiar with gimp probably hates it, PS user or not [01:03] yeah does gimp have ps power ? [01:03] it's a rather horribly designed interface [01:03] If you could specify beyond "why you don't like it" it would be helpful. [01:03] cause photoshop is a very could package [01:03] good* [01:03] whats the command to remove a user again in linux? [01:03] pvd2006: what does sudo -s do? [01:03] ok so gimpshop ill install :D [01:03] can anyone tell me how to get a wine menu in gnome as you get in kde? [01:04] Ah, so it *is* the unfamiliarity. [01:04] sudo-s takes you to root logon then you can type commands as root. [01:04] then you can exit it out [01:04] and by the way photoshop is on the way to redefine it's interface as per the GIMP [01:04] brn i had a brainstorm lol try #CC=gcc ./configure [01:04] Hi all! Is it possible to download binaries for Firefox 1.5.0+ *PPC* for Ubuntu *Breezy Badger* somewhere? [01:04] pvd2006: ok, thanks [01:04] as long as gimp does things my old jasc did im happy [01:04] np;) [01:04] rapha: not likely [01:04] guys? [01:04] pvd2006: it still says the same [01:04] spikeb: so I'll have to upgrade to Flight 7 if I can't afford compiling it myself? [01:05] where can i find gimpshop ? [01:05] pvd2006: adduser: The user 'myuser' does not exist. [01:05] rapha: yes, or wait until dapper stable comes out [01:05] ollik, what exactly did you type? [01:05] Corey, google - I don't think it's in Ubuntu's repos [01:05] pvd2006: adduser myuser mygroup [01:05] ah ok [01:05] pvd2006: and that mygroup exists [01:05] how do i install things from downloads [01:05] ompaul: thnx abt the link [01:05] spikeb: That was my plan, but now I'm in a situation where I can't get on with my work due to certain limitations of FireFox 1.0 :-/ [01:05] like a deb file ? [01:05] hi [01:06] Corey: http://freshmeat.net/redir/gimpshop/57360/url_rpm/gimpshop.rpm.torrent [01:06] rapha: you should be able to compile it, if yo uhave enough space [01:06] Sandy16, yw [01:06] Ollik and this is after you typed sudo -s and then went to the root prompt right [01:06] That's a torrent to the latest GimpSHOP Linux RPM [01:06] pvd2006: yes [01:06] thanks [01:06] cant anyone tell me how to get a menu for installed wine applications in gnome? [01:06] Corey: direct link here: http://freshmeat.net/redir/gimpshop/57360/url_mirror/gimpshopbyme.rpm [01:06] pvd2006: before doing sudo -s, it gave the same answer when I typed: sudo adduser myuser mygroup [01:06] That is strange [01:06] it's safe to upgrade to dapper now? [01:07] OlliK: are you literally typing "myuser" or your actual username? [01:07] Ng: actual username [01:07] thanks pinky [01:07] i am trying to install ubuntu on a partition with a dual boot of XP and ubuntu wont read the partition. what format does it need to be in? please PM me with reply this chat is filled [01:07] spikeb: no way. This is a 2001 iBook Clamshell with a 366MHz or so G3 and about 300MB of free disk space. Do you think it might be feasible to change the apt sources.list to Dapper and try an apt-get remove firefox && apt-get install firefox? [01:07] haloo [01:07] how do install thoe ? [01:07] rapha: that would probably break things [01:07] rapha: if it helps any, i use dapper on a mac mini with zero problems. [01:07] Johannes: Are you sure about the syntax? #CC? I will try it since it sure can't hurt. [01:08] no # lol [01:08] rapha, masses of things depend on Firefox - you'd break things badly trying to just install FF from Dapper... [01:08] brn its just the way ive always written commands lol [01:08] how do install files ? [01:08] Madpilot: I _would_ let it pull in the dependencies... [01:09] Madpilot: any plans to abstract that out a bit so things don't depend on FF, but just ? [01:09] ubotu, tell Corey about alien [01:09] also, is the HD version of ubuntu faster than livecd ? [01:09] spikeb: yeah, gives me kind of a fuzzy feeling. But that probably means that our intern won't have her PC available to her today :) [01:09] rapha: haha [01:09] Corey, the installed version is much faster [01:09] :D [01:09] Corey: You can use alien to install RPM files. [01:09] spikeb, no idea - you'd have to ask the developers [01:09] how well does alien word? [01:10] ok thanks [01:10] work* [01:10] Johannes: Yep. Tried it all ways. Same result. But we have tried and I am grateful for your help anyway. Getting late (early) here in California and there are other things to do. Thanks again. [01:10] spikeb: is there a chance I will be able to upgrade from Flight 7 to Dapper Drake Final when it is released without have to reinstall again? [01:10] rapha: yeah, i believe so [01:10] rapha: that's actually the assumption i'm working on for my install [01:10] brn ok sry , seems gcc is at fault :( [01:10] is there a better messenger than gaim ? [01:10] Corey: define better [01:10] brn good night/good morning , only noon here in scotland yet tho :) [01:11] spikeb: kay, thx! [01:11] i use kopete under kde :} [01:11] um [01:11] better looking and more features [01:11] Corey: what sort of features? [01:11] Like the non-ability to send files via MSN :p [01:12] Somewhat new to ubuntu, trying to install xchat on Dapper, apt-get says 'Couldnt' find package xchat'. Is this because it hasn't been packaged yet for Dapper? [01:12] um msn 7.5 === Tedd is now known as Tedd|School [01:12] Johannes: Yes. I sometimes wish there was somone my age around to explain the mystery/misery of the 'C' language and it's compiler to me. Sadly, most of them are dead now. [01:12] well [01:12] ok i downloaded the alien.tar.gz [01:12] Corey: aMSN has many more MSN features. [01:12] i opened it and there is all this stuff um.. [01:12] Corey, just install alien thru Synaptic [01:12] r [01:13] ok how just select it ? [01:13] Corey, System->Admin->Synaptic Package Manager [01:13] christo_: it's in the universe repository [01:13] brn we struggle finding ppl who know about computers up here in the highlands :D [01:13] !tell christo_ about universe [01:13] Corey, delete the file you just downloaded, you don't need that for alien [01:13] oh ok [01:14] johannes: Save just a wee dram of that ancient hand-made malt beverage for me. If I don't make it to Scotland, drink it in memory. [01:14] Oh yeah, had a question. When I update and get a list of all this kde stuff on the update list is it going to install that stuff? I have random kde stuff like browsing cds through konqeruer and such things. [01:15] I have xubuntu, so I dont know why all this extra kde stuff is on there. [01:15] brn :)) will do, hope you make it over here at some point [01:15] lol i will have to install this all over agagin [01:15] but i want to fully test so its going good :) === tribe is now known as tribe`afk [01:16] how do i install files with alien now ? [01:17] I have an odd problem. When I bring up a network interface, gtk applications can't be started [01:17] need sleep - later, all [01:17] is there an easy way of getting svn to support https ? [01:17] All : I am trying to get my ubuntu box to basicaly bridge a ppp0 and eth0 connection , how best would i go about this ? [01:17] how do i install .rpm ? [01:17] johannes, you want to run a adsl connection? [01:18] i got an adsl connection , typed up some scripts for hotplug and it runs nicely on ppp0 [01:18] johannes_erik> you mean to share the PPP connection over the network ? [01:18] tested it on apt-get seems fine [01:18] HymToLife basically what i want to do! :) [01:19] johannes_erik> then install Firestarter [01:19] and dhcp3-server [01:19] sup all [01:19] its going into a router after that so im not to fussed about dhcp (although ive already set dhcp up 8-) ) [01:19] in fact, install dhcp3-server first [01:19] how do i installe .rpm ? i downloaded and installed alien [01:19] then if you have a router it should do the sharing [01:20] Corey: u need to make a deb package [01:20] ok how ? [01:20] Corey> alien filename.rmp [01:20] Corey: alien -d packagename.rpm [01:20] ok [01:20] !alien [01:20] alien is, like, totally, a program to convert RPMs to DEBs. Its use is discouraged, as it could create serious problems. Website: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/ [01:21] it said [01:21] ill try explain :) |INET USBMODEM| --> |UBUNTU BOX| --> |ROUTER| --> |NETWORK| [01:21] i must run as root ? [01:21] sudo alien -d packagename.rpm [01:21] !tell corey about alien [01:21] hola a todos [01:21] !es [01:21] HymnToLife thats about the best i can explain lol :) [01:21] Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda. [01:21] johannes_erik> the router is useless here [01:21] how ? [01:22] um [01:22] i did that [01:22] because your Ubuntu box will do the job [01:22] and it came up with usage :sudo [01:22] and all this other stuff [01:22] Corey, read the message from the bot [01:22] !tell Corey about paste [01:22] ahh forgot to mention its a wireless router and most my network is wireless [01:22] usage: sudo -K | -L | -V | -h | -k | -l | -v [01:22] usage: sudo [-HPSb] [-p prompt] [-u username|#uid] [01:22] { -e file [...] | -i | -s | } [01:22] algunos espaoles??? [01:22] !es [01:22] Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda. [01:22] oh wait [01:22] it said illegal option -d [01:23] Corey, be careful not to paste too much stuff into the chat directly;) [01:23] sudo illegal ption -d [01:23] is that private data ? [01:23] johannes_erik> I have very little eperience with Wireless [01:23] alien --help [01:23] na, iuts just there are so many people it can flood. [01:23] HymnToLife the ubuntu box is in the internet port on my router which means the rest of the network see the router as the inet gateway although it only forwards to the inet port which is the ubuntu machine [01:24] what do i want to generate to ? [01:24] johannes_erik> so ann you need is Firestarter [01:24] so in effect all the ubuntu box needs to do is "bridge" (terminiology ??) the two [01:24] its rpm what do i want to make it ? [01:24] to setup the connection sharing on the eth [01:25] Yeah I dont understand why sudo doesnt work with some commands? [01:25] i heard about firestarter , but can it run on a base system ? no X or gui ? [01:25] i thought it was an X app , im posiabley wrong! [01:25] no, it's a GUI for iptables [01:25] sudo alien -d packagename.rpm doesnt work Corey? [01:25] : You don't really need firestarted for such a simple case [01:25] you'll have to set your iptables rule manually then [01:25] !iptables [01:25] #iptables [01:26] HymnToLife ive done my iptables but it just dont wanna go :'( [01:26] "/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE" [01:26] HymnToLife i could be editing my iptables wrong , is there a CLI editor ? [01:27] in terminal how do i specify where the file is ? [01:27] like the file i want to unpack is on the desktop [01:27] h3sp4wn hi , i tried that still it wont route the traffic [01:27] net/ipv4/ip_forward=1 needs to be in /etc/sysctl.conf [01:27] corey cd ~/Desktop I believe [01:27] sudo alien -g file.rpm === jimmy____ is now known as jimMmy [01:27] ok [01:27] h3sp4wn yip added that too [01:27] Corey, you do realise your risking breaking your machine [01:27] why ? [01:28] !alien [01:28] [alien] a program to convert RPMs to DEBs. Its use is discouraged, as it could create serious problems. Website: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/ [01:28] Corey, Yeah I dont know why someone recommended alien ive heard problems with it. [01:28] ... o [01:28] Corey, what are you trying to install? [01:28] how do I instal rpm files then ? [01:28] Corey, you don't just grab some random piece of software and think "I'll have this" [01:28] gimpshop [01:28] johannes_erik: Can you get a shell on the router ? [01:29] Corey, do you have the link? [01:29] Corey, you dont do rpm you do debs specifically deb files for Ubuntu [01:29] what are the file extensions i can install ? tar.gz ? [01:29] deb um [01:29] ompaul, I dont think they have .deb its a tar.gz most likely. [01:29] its gimpshop pro [01:29] just a second [01:29] h3sp4wn yip thats ok and i can see the trafic reach the machine with tcpdump but it doesnt get passed on [01:30] so hes gonna have to learn how to install programs the fun way:) [01:30] pvd2006, so he can get that, I am not being use case specific [01:30] Corey, its not hard at all to install a tar.gz [01:30] alien should usually be the last choice for installing [01:30] pvd2006 u mean install programs the REAL way :)) [01:30] hehe [01:30] ok um well jsut wait ill find the gimpshop site [01:31] johannes_erik: Have you tried source nat instead of masquarading [01:31] which one do i download for gimpshop ?

[01:36] i installed the plugin, its not working [01:36] how do i install deb ?

[01:57] johannes_erik: Do you have a default gateway set on the wired interface ? [01:58] johannes_erik: Do you bring up ppp0 thru /etc/network/interfaces ? [01:58] h3sp4wn i can see it through ifconfig so it should be good [01:59] hello can someone help me here? I just installed Xgl and my 'Super/Windows' key o0n my keyboard isnt working, i suspect its because in my xorg.conf i have my keyboard set to 'pc104' or is this an xmodmap problem does nayone know/? [01:59] h3sp4wn thanks for the help btw :) this routing is driving me mad lol [02:01] hi [02:01] someone knows im sure [02:01] Anyone know how to fix the terminal?

[02:01] and also press enter afterwards ;) [02:01] My terminal will disappear in few seconds after I launch it. [02:02] I don't know how to get it back to normal. [02:02] I made changes to it like appearance and background and stuff. [02:02] yea, mplayer plugin still not working [02:02] johannes_erik: pastebin the output of 'iptables -t nat -L' and 'route' [02:03] johannes_erik: Can you ping ipaddresses (for example 194.112.32.1 which I know is up) from behind ? [02:03] h3sp4wn ok can do the second bit but whats pastebin lol ? [02:03] !pastebin [02:03] Please do not flood the channel http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ for pasting long texts it does not disrupt the channel. [webboard for Ubuntu: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269 : not an offical package] [02:04] can I install restricted formats encoders on Dapper Flight 7? [02:04] yeah [02:04] h3sp4wn ok :) [02:04] in my xorg,conf, where I set up my video card I need values for Driver, VideoRam, BusID. Where can I find these please? [02:05] i cant ping external addesses from behind the ubuntu box although i can FROM the ubuntu box [02:06] johannes_erik: Can you get to the ubuntu from behind ? [02:06] h3sp4wn i did tcpdump and from a machine behind it i tried opening a few pages [02:07] the packets reached the ubuntu box but went no further [02:08] johannes_erik: can you ssh from behind to the ubuntu box (the router could be mangling the packets) [02:08] When i am compiling my intel drivers i get this error; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14458 [02:09] Sjors: the 'dri.log' it refers to might be more useful to find out specifically what failed [02:09] can i update a debian sarge installation to ubuntu without a big headache afterwards? [02:09] 1 mom. [02:09] MSch_: no [02:09] MSch_: I doubt that'd be a good idea [02:10] h3sp4wn i just tried with only the ubuntu machine and a switch and it was exactly the same [02:10] h3sp4wn seems the router is behaving [02:10] My DRI.log: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14459 [02:10] MSch_: I think it's just about possible to go sarge->breezy, but it's really not a good idea === sub|off is now known as subsinker [02:11] Sjors: can't find kernel config file :-) [02:11] when i try to compile the new xmoto i get this [02:11] http://pastebin.ca/57987 [02:11] ok... it's only my private samba server i'll just have to stay up late today [02:11] h3sp4wn ok i got the two tables ill have to hand copy them , im not using that machine that im setting up [02:11] I've intalled the source and headers already :S [02:11] johannes_erik: Why not [02:11] johannes_erik: You should be able to get to it with ssh [02:12] johannes_erik: If you cannot then that implies to me its a problem with the router [02:12] well, it seems to like my 2nd pc better than my main one [02:12] Sjors: well, the intel thingee can't find them [02:13] !grub [02:13] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting [02:13] MSch_: if something works, I don't go out of my way to break it ;-) [02:13] i looked in the directory and there is my source.. But there is no map named build :S [02:13] johannes_erik: Its nothing to do with the ppp0 connection or masquarading whether you can get to the internal interface of the ubuntu box [02:13] h3sp4wn im using two independant machines and networks [02:13] gosh why wont it work [02:14] how do i search my entire drive for a file? [02:14] the network im setting up is completely seperate from the one im using just now [02:14] locate and find return to the prompt too quickly [02:14] !ff1.5 [02:14] You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion [02:14] so i think they only check in the current directory [02:14] man find [02:15] j2daosh: locate is quick because it uses a cache it prepared earlier to search for things [02:15] does ubuntu have an irc client? [02:15] hyphenated: well the only packages that worry me are grub, linux-image and lvm. [02:15] Evanescent: uh.. the fact that we're all here should be clue #1 ;-) [02:16] Evanescent: isn't xchat installed by default? [02:16] hyphenated, yeah but i have about 70 gigs worth of files all over the drive it needs to look in but it comes back in like 3 seconds... [02:16] yeah i just wanna know if it's in the default installation and where i can find it [02:16] it should take alittle longer then that [02:16] how can i fix it? [02:16] Evanescent: should be in the default desktop install [02:16] h3sp4wn http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14460 [02:17] thanks MSch and hyphenated [02:17] http://pastebin.ca/57987 [02:17] when i compile xmoto [02:17] hello, is there any site where every compiz effects is described? [02:17] morning, how can I change icons for apps, all files are greyed when I attempt to choose [02:17] j2daosh: if you want, you can run 'sudo updatedb' (which will take a while) and then run locate again [02:17] it's just configuring so i'll find out in a minute or 3 [02:17] it dont even take 3 seconds... right after i hit enter on the command "locate qt-libs" it brings me back to the prompt [02:17] 66% complete [02:17] j2daosh: then your 'locate' database will be nice and fresh. and probably just as snappy [02:17] hyphenated, just did that [02:18] What do I need to capture say realplayer streams im watching, or audio streams??? [02:18] hyphenated, can i use wild cards during a locate? [02:19] and whats the most secure/best proxy server to use? [02:19] i cant seem to get the qt software loaded and its really pissing me off because it cant find this stupid qt-libs file/directory [02:19] j2daosh: you can use a regular expression [02:19] whenever I try to do a connect-to-server to a samba share, it keeps telling me that smb://user@server/share is an invalid url. Is there a samba plugin or another package that I need to add to nautilus to add smb:// support to it? [02:20] what is a regular expression again? in lamens terms... [02:20] atmical: squid is pretty good [02:20] j2daosh, filesbeginning with foo* [02:20] j2daosh: a form of magic used by UNIX wizards. See also: vi [02:20] *.mp3 [02:20] Hello I have a really bizzare problem. Ubuntu (hoary) has somehow reversed the recognition of my dvd player and cd player. [02:20] ahh [02:20] gotcha [02:20] Tenshi: no, that's a glob [02:20] What I mean is that when I type eject hdd ina command line, the cd ejects instead of the dvd. [02:21] h3sp4wn, does it run on BSD? [02:21] hyphenated: depends on the context [02:21] wait yeah it does. [02:21] I think [02:21] atmical: BSD or linux [02:21] Tenshi: nope, they are distinctly different [02:21] jesse_: they will appear in the order the kernel sees them. are they USB drives by any chance? [02:21] '*.mp3' is a valid glob, but not a valid regular expression [02:21] tenshi, all you should need to do is go to places (bottom on the toolbar) network servers, then go from there [02:21] capture card is all I need to capture and record realplayer streams? [02:22] no they are not usb drives [02:22] j2daosh, no ... says it's invalid even when I try to browse. This began as soon as I dist-upgraded to dapper [02:22] "invalid url sbm://" [02:22] er... "smb:/" [02:22] jesse_: hmm. I wouldn't expect the order to change after install then. I'm not sure there's anything you can do to change the order back unfortunately. [02:22] oh... i dont have dapper :) imma wait till its alittle more stable [02:22] tenshi... there is a new dapper room though [02:22] Ng: can the kernal recognize them differently then what is in fstab [02:23] Tenshi: ask in #ubuntu+1 , they might know the answer to that one [02:23] hyphenated, k, will do that [02:23] dapper has been good on mylaptop [02:23] no probs [02:23] I mean my dvd is mounted to hdd [02:23] h3sp4wn i just connected the machine in question and tried to ssh to it and i get connection refused [02:23] hyphenated, curious though, how are you differentiating a glob from a regular expression? [02:23] but when i eject hdd [02:23] I'll try dapper in a couple of weeks [02:23] then my cd player ejects [02:23] johannes_erik: You need to install openssh-server [02:24] Tenshi: in many ways. the meaning of * and ? are very different between a glob and a regular expression [02:24] h3sp4wn ok will try that [02:25] Tenshi: man 7 glob, man 7 regex ;-) [02:25] those won't actually make it clearer ;-) [02:25] I thought the syntax of a regular expression was completely contextual based on the language [02:25] interpreter, etc ... [02:26] in general, globs are for filenames, and regexes are for text. things that interpret them have all sorts of syntaxes around the actual regex [02:26] h3sp4wn ok installed now but its asking for a password i dont know lol , new can of worms has been opend i thinks lol [02:27] hyphenated, sounds awfully like a matter of context to me :) [02:27] Tenshi: yeah, but you can't use a glob when it wants a regular expression [02:27] they just won't work [02:27] johsnnes_erik: You just login with the same username and password that you use to login from the console [02:27] hyphenated, again ... it depends on the context ;) [02:27] h3sp4wn just ignor that last bit i got it , just me being daft [02:28] some globs ARE valid regular expressions [02:28] hello, I have a problem making my third harddrive work. I see it in gPart (and formatted it to FAT32), but when I try to "enable" it in Administration>Disks then it won't work. [02:28] Tenshi: naw, a glob to match mp3 files would be '*.mp3', a regex to match them would be '^.*\.mp3$' [02:28] and the meaning of the '*' is different for them too [02:28] hyphenated, only in perl style syntax [02:29] :) [02:29] Tenshi: nope, perl-style syntax would be different yet again [02:29] though I haven't worked with perl and python regex in several months [02:29] johsnnes_erik: sudo sysctl net/ipv4/ip_forward=1 && sudo iptables -F && /sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE (Just try that as one line you may have things that are stopping iptables from working) [02:29] it's always a relearning process every time I have to do it [02:30] yeah, unless you actively use them, you'll forget bits and pieces [02:30] 153 updates... that's worse than windblows [02:31] i have a good script that includes the proper sysctl kernel options [02:31] hyphenated, and they get ugly really quickly :( [02:31] Evanescent, just install? [02:31] yeah [02:31] wait [02:31] Evanescent, yeah thats normal, but it dies off quick, of course the dapper upgrade comes soon... [02:31] h3sp4wn ok will try [02:31] can anyone help me with my harddrive problem? [02:31] my first experience of ubuntu [02:31] Evanescent, welcome aboard [02:31] updates are not windows' problem [02:31] Evanescent, welcome to Ubuntu [02:32] the fact that they don't fix the problems has more to do with it [02:32] DBO: i applied for the new version 6.06 on disc [02:32] a lot more user friendly then red hat [02:32] Tenshi: especially if you use POSIX character classes instead of Perl-Compatible (PCRE) ones. eg: [[:space:] ] instead of \s or somesuch [02:32] yeah that's why i installed it to see how i get on with it [02:32] Evanescent, 6.06 is a great product [02:33] i've used mandrake before [02:33] h3sp4wn it displayed net.ipv4.ip_forward =1 and now its frozen :-O [02:33] hyphenated, I was doing some spam research during my masters. We had gigs of logs to sort through. It's amazing how many ways you can represent a hostname and email address ... [02:33] does the jumper on a harddrive change something if a disk is readable or not? [02:34] and the more operating systems i can get familiar with the better as i'm training as a DST [02:34] Tenshi: yeah, I would have googled for an expression someone worked out already instead of trying to make up my own :-) [02:34] I just installed manpages, but no /usr/bin/man to be found anywhere [02:34] is it supposed to be somewhere else? [02:35] johsnnes_erik: Was that from the console or ssh ? [02:35] Tenshi: and 'LANG=C awk' (or whatever equivalent you use) will be a bunch of times faster (about 5) since it doesn't have to convert character sets [02:35] h3sp4wn from ssh [02:35] dst? [02:35] h3sp4wn the console is still running but i think SSH has frozen as it doest respond anymore [02:35] hyphenated, actually, I was using python at the time :) [02:36] johsnnes_erik: Flushing all the firewall rules will terminate the connections in process [02:36] Tenshi: it probably still would have helped [02:36] maybe not so much, since python uses unicode types a lot internally. [02:37] (sr71) dst?: desktop support technician [02:37] oh ok [02:37] yeah, but I was taking all of my results and building relational databases with it, so I needed a decent language to handle the data once I stripped it [02:37] h3sp4wn ok so should i run that from the console instead? [02:37] but it's mainly based in windows :( [02:37] but i want to take the comptia linux+ [02:38] Tenshi: ah, other things would have been slower than the parsing of the text then. [02:38] hello [02:38] hyphenated, actually, the mysql server was off-lan, so the IO between that was by far the bottleneck [02:38] anybody can help me? [02:38] hello amit [02:38] hello [02:39] well i just installed ubuntu 5.10 on a new partition and when I look at the grub menu it does give my win xp as choice to boot [02:39] what can be done? [02:39] johsnnes_erik: Yep - do them one at a time without the && if you want [02:39] it does not* [02:40] you probley partioned the whole drive [02:40] no [02:40] winxp was on another hdd [02:41] now do i update all my icons and artwork? i installed as dapper f5, and i noticed the newest dapper that i install on another computer [02:41] has new artwork and icons === Kadran__ is now known as Kadran [02:41] OK so xp was on slave drive? [02:41] plh: #ubuntu+1 [02:41] yes sr71 [02:41] OK [02:42] i had win98 on my master and i installed ubuntu on it [02:42] hyphenated: oh. thanks [02:42] Can someone tell me in grub: what's the use of having a ubuntu recover mode [02:42] Then I think I know the prob [02:42] twopeak: in case you screw things up [02:42] ok [02:42] hope you have the solution :D [02:42] to dual boot you need both os on one drive [02:42] hyphenated, thanks. [02:43] twopeak: it boots you into single-user mode and lets you fix your mistake [02:43] ok [02:43] so what can be done? [02:43] h3sp4wn ok ran it , didnt get much output but no errors [02:43] and recover mode boots automatically into console, right [02:43] johsnnes_erik: Now try pinging an ip from behind [02:44] from below rocks too, or from above if you feel crazy [02:45] Amin do you have partion magic? [02:45] i have it on winxp [02:45] does it exist on ubuntu also? [02:45] Amit, use gparted [02:46] he doesn't have a partition problem [02:46] it is a seprate program not sure but it should work on both [02:46] he has a grub configuration problem [02:46] yes [02:46] hyphenated, i just arrived and read that: Amin do you have partion magic? [02:47] well sr71 do you i need to download partition magic for ubuntu? [02:47] Amit, what happens? Sorry i just arrived [02:47] if his hard drive is slave and the os is on it he does [02:47] well i just installed ubuntu 5.10 on my master hdd [02:47] but i have win xp on my slave hdd [02:47] which isnt in the grub menu when i boot [02:47] oh [02:48] you need both os's on one hd [02:48] i want to be able to boot winxp also [02:48] that's easy to do [02:48] Amit: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=173028 [02:48] Amit, you just need to conifgure grub [02:48] well help me [02:48] Amit: comment #5 [02:48] they run different formats [02:48] Amit, what does sudo fdisk -l [02:48] return?

[02:51] guys how do I merge iso images into one.. the iso images are videos mpeg but I want to merge the into one.. is that possible? [02:51] can anyone tell me how to login as root? [02:51] as we can see [02:51] ubotu: tell Evanescent about sudo [02:51] he sees hdb [02:51] Evanescent, root is disabled, if you need root use sudo [02:51] the second hardrive, [02:51] jel: each kernel image is approx. 10 mb big... [02:51] sudo? [02:51] Evanescent: read the link ubotu gave you [02:51] Amit, still there? [02:52] yes [02:52] MSch - so 50mb would be enough for /boot ? [02:52] i am here [02:52] ok thanks [02:52] miranda82, what do i need to do? [02:52] Amit, can u just se pastebin.com to put the output? [02:52] jel: well, i use 200 MB because i ran into problems with 70 MB, but i used the unstable dapper with a new kernel every second week [02:52] what's the root password for mysql or where do i find it? [02:52] Amit, it would be easier for me to guide u [02:52] Amit: I already gave you a link telling you what to do [02:52] ok wait [02:52] Amit: was it not good enough? [02:53] ok i'll give it 150mb [02:53] jel: 100 will be more than enough - the most important thing is that its the first partition on the disk [02:53] oh [02:53] thats a problem then [02:54] it will be the 3rd [02:54] There is not much point in doing that if its not the first partition on the disk [02:54] im not installing from the live cd... [02:54] boot doesn't have to be 1st partition [02:54] jel: third partition or third disk? [02:54] third partition [02:54] TobiasFar, ther is no root password for mysql when you hace just installed it [02:54] the rule about it being near the beginning of the disk isn't so important on new hardware [02:55] it matters only on older mainboards that have problems booting high cyl partitions [02:55] Amit, ? [02:55] i was told XFS and grub cannot be on the same partition [02:55] yes [02:55] blue-frog, okay [02:55] am on pastebin.com [02:55] and grub is a real pain in the ass to get working presently, so i figured i would just make a new /boot partition, so the kubuntu installed (dapper) can handle it [02:55] :D [02:55] Amit, paste it... if u want help.. [02:55] it's like taking forever when i clicked on the send button [02:55] thx [02:55] jel: well, grub understands ext3. if it understands xfs then you'll be ok.

[02:56] jel: yes. but a separate boot partition doesn't hurt anyway [02:57] or use the webboard [02:57] is the website slow or what? [02:57] it's just saying waiting for pastebin.com... [02:57] TobiasFar, to set a password... mysqladmin -u root password "new_password" [02:58] Amit, try then http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [02:59] ok [02:59] it works [02:59] already sent [02:59] on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [02:59] so what should i make /boot ?

[03:17] Specifically, it seems to be f's that have been cut-pasted into LyX form elsewhere, and uppercase f's.

[03:34] try fdisk [03:34] because i get a "permission denied" when trying to do that (i have read-write support though) [03:34] munzir: install apt-file it will tell you. but not every broken link means that the package has a problem, it may just be left over after you removed the package [03:35] MSch_: even so the post script should remove it, no? [03:35] mmm but it is strange that neither the utility partition of ubuntu resizes the old partition in order to get free space... [03:36] wow, automatix was taken out of arnieboy's hands ? [03:36] good :) [03:37] anyone has used partition magic? [03:37] me [03:37] me too [03:37] <`Evil> can someone help me please? i have a problem with apache2 and php files [03:37] rohan: where did you see that? [03:37] munzir: hm, i gues that's why there's a difference between purging packages and removing them. removing leaves the configuration intact, while purging deletes it [03:37] enriquedf: yes a long time ago... it's a pain [03:37] gfxstyler, rohan: do u know why do I get an error 732, and pm does not apply any changes on the partitions? [03:38] i dunno [03:38] hey anyone have any idea how i could possibly sym link the /home to a different hard drive to where it uses the other hard drives disc space? [03:38] evanescent: why is it a pain? hehe [03:38] batman: just mount the drive as /home [03:39] gnomefreak: on a post [03:39] wait [03:39] because it would never let me do what i wanted, so i went back to basics and use fdisk [03:39] MSch_ would i need to copy over the /home contents first? [03:39] gnomefreak: http://www.krazypenguin.net/Ubuntu_Dapper_Drake_6.06_Guide#Easily_install_additional_software [03:39] less hassle [03:39] batman: yes [03:39] gnomefreak: from that site -- "Arnieboy will not be involved in the project at that time, but somebody else will." [03:39] rohan: ty [03:39] gnomefreak: btw, plz change your nick to gnome_is_frek [03:39] lol [03:39] evanescent: do u know how to use fdisk in order to resize the disk and create a new partition? [03:39] *freak [03:39] :D [03:40] lol [03:40] not possible to resize unfortunately [03:40] enriquedf: use gparted from the ubuntu live cd [03:40] enriquedf: fdisk will cause loss of data [03:40] that's what i was about to say [03:41] rohan: i tried to use gparted from the live cd but when i try to resized it, it doesnt want to apply the changes!.. so strange.. [03:41] strange indeed .. [03:42] is it possible to change my character set to danish encoding from a gui? or should i search for dpkg's? [03:42] vh [03:43] enriquedf: what message do you get? [03:44] evanescent: it says applying changes.... and then it returns back to the same size!... i do not get error message with gparted [03:45] MSch_: ok in this case the link points to a file that sould be generated by ntp-server; dpkg -l ntp-server shows the package as 'un' which I guess means it's not installed. If it has been removed but have a config file remaining I think I would gave another status "C?" so I guess yes it's a bug [03:45] enriquedf, use the official live cd of gparted [03:45] woohooo sucessfully instaled unbuntu :D ! [03:45] :P [03:45] miranda82: where i can get it? [03:45] from the website [03:45] alright now to install all the stuff again haha [03:46] enriquedf, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [03:47] how to change ubuntu charecter set? [03:47] doped1: In what meaning? [03:48] haffe: i'm from denmark, and i'd like the whole charecter set to be western instead of UTF8 [03:48] Where? [03:49] I don't understand. [03:49] i'd hope i could change it in whole ubuntu [03:49] UTF-8 has support for all international characters. [03:49] i cant see danish chracters in file names and folderes.. [03:49] Can anybody help me with making a symbolic link? [03:50] ln -s source dest [03:50] Capozide: ln -s target link [03:50] hi everybody... [03:50] doped1: Is it a mounted windows partition? [03:51] yes, :) how did u know.. [03:51] Intuition. [03:51] :) [03:51] where's a good place to store a subversion repository ... ? [03:51] and theres another problem on the drive too.. it wont show all the files.. some word files [03:51] how to have my windows partitions and disks mounted in such a way that I wouldn't need sudo to write to them.... (FAT of course).. [03:51] other word files is shows great [03:51] The problem is that windows uses ISO8859-1 as encoding, while ubuntu uses UTF-8. [03:52] The simplest method is to tell mount to use ISO8859-1 for the windows drives. [03:52] ok :P that why it says invalid encoding :) [03:52] yes, THAT's my problem then :) [03:52] hi [03:52] Yes, apparently. [03:52] haffe: can you help with that :P [03:53] Sure. [03:53] well, thanks [03:53] How much experience do you have with ubuntu? [03:53] Or linux at all. [03:53] it was automounted when i installed ubutnu.. [03:53] !flight7 [03:53] hmm... flight7 is available via http://www.ubuntu.com/testing, or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/flight-7/ [03:53] not much, installe a little with apt-get and dpkg [03:54] doped1: Are you using Ubuntu or kubuntu? [03:54] ubuntu [03:54] Ok. [03:54] Just a minute, I will switch to my gnomemachine. [03:54] :) thanks! [03:55] miranda82: i have downloaded it ... now, if i want to execute it? [03:56] <_mason> Quick Question, does ubuntu come with its own firewall & if so, how do i open a port? [03:56] how to have my windows partitions and disks mounted in such a way that I wouldn't need sudo to write to them.... (FAT of course).. [03:56] hi ! [03:56] which packages do i need to play m4as in kaffeine? [03:56] Can anybody help me privately, I'm having a little bit of a complexed problem [03:57] I want to connect to a windows pc and execute an app there [03:57] haffe: are you there.. im gonna quit for 5 minutes, and come back!, backing up the files on the drive, and formating it to FAT for better visa versa read-write result from both windows and ubuntu [03:57] any ubuntu nis experts? [03:57] kane77, open a terminal , type "sudo nano /etc/fstab" look for the lines with "vfat" in them, and then where it says "defaults" make it "defaults,rw" [03:58] Ok, I'm back. [03:58] yes.. [03:58] ok.. well 2 sek [03:58] Start a terminal. [03:58] haffe: im gonna quit for 5 minutes, and come back!, backing up the files on the drive, and formating it to FAT for better visa versa read-write result from both windows and ubuntu [03:58] the thing is I need to use some windows app that I haven't been able to use with wine. what I want to do is to execute it remotely in my mom's pc, without bothering her of course [03:59] Subhuman and is there any way to write to NTFS??

It does not work properly with Ubuntu. [04:00] which is the best firewall for ubuntu? Lokkit? [04:00] oh Kane77, looks like captive doesnt work with ubuntu. [04:01] GaiaX11, firestarter is my fav.

To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats [04:08] hello room :D [04:09] http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/dapper/net/nis states that NIS requires debconf >= 0.5.00 however debconf is currently at 1.4.72. [04:09] It's been my experience that when I start installing stuff that isn't in the package manager, I break ubuntu, so should I drop ubuntu and install debian to get NIS? Or is it safe? [04:09] haffe_, i'm back [04:09] is there anyone here who knows about this ubuntu linux ??? [04:09] Tsingi, dapper is in the channel #ubuntu+1 [04:09] which packages do i need to play m4as in kaffeine? [04:09] ompaul: thanks [04:09] how do i make myself an admin [04:10] Madmerc, help.ubuntu.com and docs.ubuntu.com are a good place to start, unless you have a specific question [04:10] Can anybody help me with symbolic links? [04:10] Corey, read that root page again [04:10] !symlinks [04:10] I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, gnomefreak [04:10] should i upgrade my copy of ubuntu from warty warthog ???

[04:11] Arrgh, I know the syntax [04:11] is there a command that displays CPU info? [04:11] could i just download the breezy iso and install it fresh ??? [04:11] theverant: maybe top? [04:11] I need help with GCC [04:11] Capozide: what's your exact problem? (sorry for restating the arguments) [04:11] Madmerc: yes [04:11] theverant: cat /proc/cpuinfo [04:11] ok thanx guys [04:11] h3sp4wn Thanks for all the help Re: routing [04:11] haffe [04:11] :P [04:12] doped1: Yes ? [04:12] Madmerc, the "approved route" to do that is to take two hops one via hoary and the next via breezy to get to dapper next month, warty has no support since 1 month ago, I suggest you actually download the install for 5.10 or Dapper (the almost finished beta) and start from there [04:12] yes.. the mount problem [04:12] Yes. [04:12] Start a terminal. [04:12] haffe__, done [04:12] I keep getting this error when i install stuff unable to lock the administration directory [04:12] type sudo nano /etc/fstab [04:12] heh i'm exploring and just found khangman "for children 6 and above"... that's about my level... lol [04:12] Corey, sudo apt-get isntall WHATEVER [04:12] hey [04:12] haffe__ it shows CPU 0 only... shouldn't it list two seperately? It sees CPU 0 as an X2 though... [04:12] oh one more thing ... my synaptic package manager doesnt seem to find any updates for the packages is that because there are none or is it just not working ??? [04:13] haffe__, done [04:13] Corey: do you have another apt process running such as synaptic or apt-get update or an update manager? [04:13] yes actually [04:13] doped1: Do you see the line relating to your windows partion?

[05:02] It may be because it's a brand new language for Ubuntu? [05:02] Yannig: no, that's enough. Thanks [05:02] 'ello. [05:02] How is ubuntu support for AMD 64 ? [05:02] CrippsFX: it's an officially supported platform [05:03] i'm trying to mount an ntfs partition so that gnome can read it, my problem is that if i mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mountpoint it mounts it as root [05:03] CrippsFX: with offical packages fairly good with non free packages it is eh [05:03] arm..... can wine run dreamweaver 8 ? [05:03] is anybody running the native broadcom driver in x86_64? [05:03] Iam8up|lpy: you probably want to specify something like -o uid=YOURUIDHERE (you can find out your uid with "id" in a terminal). see "man mount"'s ntfs section for more details [05:03] i thought there was a -U option that would allow me to switch UIDs, so i tried mount -t ntfs -U 1000 /dev/hda1 /mountpoint [05:03] ... or xgl in x86_74? ;) [05:03] !ntfs [05:03] ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows NT and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions there is no write support for ntfs that is safe. [05:03] Ng - i'll try it that way.. [05:04] I get this error when trying to calculate some dependencies: dpkg: error processing lilypond-data (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [05:04] [05:04] how do you install deb files ? [05:04] dpkg [05:05] Corey:~ specifically: dpkg -i .deb [05:05] i purchased some tv shows on dvd. i'd like to rip the commentary tracks only (i.e. no video) is there a way to do this? [05:05] Corey: sudo dpkg -i file.deb [05:05] oh yeah, sudo ... I forgot that part about ubuntu ;) [05:05] arm..... can wine run dreamweaver 8 ? << there are linux alternatives to it [05:05] lerch: sudo apt-get -f install (thats all you type dont add a package to it) [05:05] oh really are they as graphically pleasing and good working as dreamweaer ? [05:06] Corey: nvu and bluefish are the best IMHO (closet to dreamweaver i have found) [05:06] gnomefreak: what does that do? I think I may have a broken package in that lilypond thing, but I've used Synaptic's fix broken packages function several times [05:06] CrippsFX: sudo isnt ubuntu secific. specially if you dont su to root [05:07] corey dont be so doubtful about opensource software , most of the time its better wroking and has more features! [05:07] yeah I know that im just saying is it good ? [05:07] lerch: that will fix broken packages (i dont trust synaptic version [05:07] Tuzlo:~ yeah, but ootb it is default behaviour, which is what I was pointing out. :) [05:07] cause im very used to phtooshop and dreamweaver [05:07] Corey, nvu is very good. [05:07] gnomefreak: ok, thanks [05:08] Corey, for photoshop, i suggest you get "gimpSHOP" a gimp hack to make it look like PS [05:08] !gimpshop [05:08] Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Subhuman [05:08] corey : generaly try and avoid windows binarys , wine may work but it wont be 100% solution [05:08] i have a window that extends past the bottem of my desktop, so i cant apply the settings. i used alt to move the window as far up as possible but the top part of the screen is like a hard border, how do i fix this? [05:08] Corey: photoshop and dreamweaver are windows software. if you really want to use them, you should run an operating system they run on. otherwise you better find linux programs :) [05:09] lol ok [05:09] hi, ive just upgraded to dapper. openoffice was removed, im trying to install it but i get a dependency error. can someone help ? [05:09] corey: i use The GIMP in Linux and Windows, its really cool and easy-to-use if you are a photoshop pro ;) [05:09] firepol: dapper questions in #ubuntu+1 please [05:09] yeah im a ps pro ive heard about gimpshop [05:09] Yannig: it works here [05:09] thanks Ng [05:09] gnomefreak: I get the excact same error message when running that command. It complaint's about the package either being not fully installed or removed. [05:09] which im going to install shortly [05:10] lerch: no package name just sudo apt-get -f install [05:10] Corey: you could get rid of gimpshop, The GIMP regular interface is good :) [05:10] Yannig: I did some checks and it should work for you too. The only explanation I could give you is that you forgot to install the language packs for French [05:10] gnomefreak: yes, that's what I did [05:10] Is ubuntu 6 out yet?

Thanks in advance for the info [05:11] someone have never used vmaware? [05:11] gnomefreak: ok, I'll try that [05:11] makelele: bittorrent or bittornado [05:11] gnomefreak, i guess you should do pre-upgrading things, look for it in Ubuntu Wiki.

My xorg.conf is here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14473 [05:11] rubso:~ should be no problem to update from testing to stable eh? Just change the paths in apt.conf, apt-get update;apt-get upgrade; .... right? [05:11] disu : what was the question ? [05:11] Yannig: I guess you didn't create the French locale by hand, right? Ubuntu created it for you when you installed the French language packs.... [05:12] rubso: hes not upgrading distros [05:12] oh! [05:12] makelele: rtorrent is the best command line interface IMO [05:12] gnomefreak: same errormessage, but now it asks "continue? [y/n] " [05:12] carlos> You're right [05:12] rubso: dist-upgrade (with same repos will grab kernels and stuff [05:12] lerch: y [05:12] well ... sorry. what I mean is use dapper for now, and when it gets to stable, stick with it.

[05:15] gnomefreak: i believe it upgrades packages only? [05:15] johannes_erik: you don't need to reboot to change DNS details.

[06:30] pip: oh sorry [06:30] disinterseted_pe : yup that will bring up another window where u can browse back into usr > lib > mozilla-firefox > plugins [06:30] untung, I suggest to install a base system without Xwindow [06:30] ok how? [06:30] Howdy world! :) [06:30] disinterseted_pe : now u have root privs so u can move those files into that other folder [06:31] been so long since i used breezy did they ever release gtk2.0 to breezy?

[06:31] disinterseted_pe: use sudo [06:31] untung they have a seperate install CD but you can install it via the standard ubuntu CD, just do a server install and then 'sudo aptitude install xubunut-desktop' [06:31] untung, I mean if your video card is not powerful ,you can just install a base system [06:31] disinterseted_pe that window that opened has root access [06:31] in terminal? [06:32] so how do i browse back [06:32] PIP: how powerful video card it should have? [06:33] NoUSe: i will try that.. thanks fo the tip [06:33] disinterseted_pe : a window opened when u typed in gksudo nautilus ?

[06:33] untung, my video card : 6M shared memory [06:34] untung, It runs Xwindow well [06:34] ? [06:34] disinterseted_pe : i think ive created a bit of confusion :) close all windows apart from the chat one [06:34] ok [06:35] disinterseted_pe go to applications top right then accessories then click terminal [06:35] ok [06:35] disinterseted_pe in there type gksudo nautilus [06:36] pip: my old machine has only 4MB [06:36] ok that window opened [06:36] disinterseted_pe a window should appear and double click on file system on the left part of this window [06:36] untung, It is OK I think [06:36] ok [06:36] waaaaaaaaaaaaaah [06:36] forgot my nick psw [06:36] disinterseted_pe scroll to the usr folder and open it [06:36] untung, you should try to work without Xwindow [06:37] ok [06:37] disinterseted_pe now scroll to the lib folder and open it [06:37] ok === Th0rndike is now known as Ing === Ing is now known as IngTh0rndike [06:37] disinterseted_pe now scroll to the mozilla-firefox folder and open it [06:38] disinterseted_pe now open the plugins folder [06:38] ok [06:38] ok [06:38] disinterseted_pe ok so we made it into the plugins folder with root access [06:38] yep [06:38] disinterseted_pe now we have the RIGHTS to move files about :) [06:39] ok now move them to the folder? [06:39] disinterseted_pe u got a folder created somewhere on the desktop ? [06:39] yep [06:39] disinterseted_pe move the files with totem into that , u might not need them again but better safe :) [06:40] ok [06:40] anyone know, why power manager does'nt even warn before all the power has drained off in dapper drake [06:40] is it still under dev ? [06:40] error again [06:40] same thing ? [06:40] yep [06:40] !tell chmod775 about dapper [06:40] grr stupid nautilus :@ lol [06:40] can u select them and cut them ? [06:41] yeah linux isnt as easy as ms [06:41] i'll try [06:41] i have my usb headset sound kind of staticy... any thoughts [06:41] nope [06:42] it was not staticy with xp on the same puter [06:42] buzzed how high is the volume level on the computer? [06:42] disinterseted_pe linux is easy its just so very different, one of those things you get used to and so on lol :) [06:42] disinterseted_pe right click on one of those files [06:42] ok now im ok atleasy someone knows what i mean [06:42] disinterseted_pe got to permissions tab , are they greyed out ? [06:42] lol [06:43] a little over half way on the volume control [06:43] there is no permissions tab [06:43] buzzed is that main or PCM? [06:44] ive got move to trash lol [06:44] disinterseted_pe right click on a file then click properties , near bottom and then in the window that opens there should be permissions ? [06:44] oh, they are all about halfway... Master, Headphone, PCM [06:44] yep permissions is grey [06:45] thats odd u should be in root , u used the window that opened from the terminal command ?? [06:45] yep with sudo nautilus [06:46] buzzed static could be the sound levels overloading, I'd try playing with volume levels [06:46] thx [06:46] disinterseted_pe in that tab who is the file owner , says near the top [06:47] what is PCM? [06:47] under the permissions tab? [06:48] file owner root [06:48] buzzed pretty much all your sound, wav,mp3,ogg all go through PCM [06:49] disinterseted_pe thats really odd , that first thing u did in the terminal should have made u root user :S lol [06:49] idk [06:50] ok bak to basics lmao close all that and open a new terminal window [06:50] ok open [06:51] sudo mv /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/* /home [06:51] but replace * with each file name [06:52] disinterseted_pe : filename of each totem plugin file that is :D [06:53] If I'm using an Athlon64 in 32-bit mode, should I be using linux-386 or linux-686? [06:53] bratsche 686 [06:53] in 32-bit mode 386 [06:54] bratsche oh, nevermind my response [06:54] How do I remove a filesystem from a floppy, so I can put grub on it? [06:54] Seantater if you run the grub setup it will overwrite the floppy [06:54] okay -- how do I do that then? [06:54] ok erik nothing came up with that string [06:54] There is a linux-headers-k7, but there is no linux-k7 package. That's sort of confusing. [06:54] just my pw [06:55] Hi, does http://ftp-master.debian.org/rene-daily.txt work in your Gecko browser of choice? Both Firefox and Epiphany keep crashing X here on current Dapper. |: [06:55] Seantater https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto/BootFloppy [06:55] disinterseted_pe nothing should if u ran with replacing * with each totem plugin filename it will move them into ur home folder [06:55] okay -- thyanks [06:55] Seantater: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto/BootFloppy [06:55] ok [06:55] disinterseted_pe it asks ur password for security [06:56] so now what do i do [06:56] Give up and cry? [06:56] u run that command for all files with totem in the name? [06:56] FOAD thats with M$ windows user approach :p [06:57] Anyone know how I can tell which device the directory I am currently in resides on? [06:57] the first command after reopening terminal? [06:57] Anyone on current Dapper who could try a URL in Firefox? [06:57] Yes. [06:57] pkern: me [06:57] What's the url? [06:58] oh, bratsche's on it [06:58] krang: http://ftp-master.debian.org/rene-daily.txt [06:58] pkern, worked on firefox and fluxbox [06:58] sudo mv /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/* /home nonnii: ): [06:59] Uhh. [06:59] pkern, was that supposed to crash my whole system? [06:59] oh crap [06:59] bratsche: X crash? [06:59] bratsche: Well... [06:59] oh wait, that box has no network cable today [06:59] Yeah. [06:59] X, not system. [06:59] But it might as well be the same thing. :) [06:59] disinterseted_pe lol forgot to change the * ? [06:59] bratsche: Depends on the browser... I got X crash with Firefox and system crash with Epiphany. [06:59] yep [06:59] Wow. [06:59] bratsche: Well, I warned on the first message. ;) [06:59] How can i reinstall the ubuntu bootloader? [06:59] pkern, hit me with that URL again. I'm Windows now.

[07:00] JoshRA: as in grub? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [07:00] I'm IN Windows now I mean. :) [07:00] JoshRA: grub-install /dev/hdx (or /dev/sdx) [07:00] orbin: yea the harddrive with windows on it has failing [07:00] hey atleast i can surf the web lol [07:00] with contains the mbr [07:01] ok im there [07:01] disinterseted_pe then do sudo mv /home/* /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins < change the * for each plugin fil (except the totem ones) that u find in ur home folder [07:02] when removing packages from synaptic, what is the difference between "Mark for Removal" or "Mark for Complete Removal"? Does the latter remove the install and all files???? [07:02] disinterseted_pe by leaving the * it moved the whole contents of the folder hehe [07:02] pkern, That's pretty weird though. Do you know what is causing that? [07:02] bratsche: Nope, and I didn't yet try to trace the X crash. [07:02] hello, I deletes garbage from pulpit :( - where can I get him back?

[07:10] disinterseted_pe write down every filename that has totem in it make sure its exactly as is [07:11] MrRio: klipper?

[07:16] MikeW, the packages are in dapper [07:16] MikeW: only in dapper [07:16] MikeW: yep. Edgy should have it. Breezy has it unofficially. [07:16] MikeW: erm, Dapper has it unofficially. [07:16] in wich cantri yuo are? [07:16] hey where can i get back my garbage box? [07:16] no such file or directory [07:16] so I defaults to gaim (which I really love but for irc :) [07:16] I have it unoffically in dapper and it works nice :D not perfect but okay. [07:16] hi, just installed ubuntu on my laptop, and the touchpad is really (and i mean REALLY) sensitive for movement. on the other hand its not very sensitive at all for clicking :S know issue? [07:16] rafal_: rightclick on a panel and select "Add to Panel" and you will find it there again. [07:16] what should I uncomment in sources.list so I can update my linux installation [07:17] hmm, in that case I'll wait for Edgy to have it stabily [07:17] ubuntu: for offtopic conversation please join #ubuntu-offtopic [07:17] did u mean cd then the /usr/lib sturff? [07:17] disinterseted_pe did u copy and paste it into the terminal ? [07:17] Yanlowen: AFAIK there's not much able to be done with an NTFS partition as of right now. [07:17] no [07:17] THANKS ;) [07:17] should i [07:17] rafal_: Your welcome. [07:17] MikeW: it's fairly stable in Dapper, and if you do it unobtrusively, if it goes south you can just comment out some stuff and be back to normal. [07:17] hi all - is there a gui that just installs a webcam? my webcam used to work when i installed ubuntu [by itself] and then after i installed some apps, it just stopped working. Now how can i rerun like a hardware detection wizard or something that will redo what the installer did and find the camera and install it? [07:17] Yanlowen: between linux and ntfs [07:17] disinterseted_pe it might be a missing slah :) [07:17] ka jus cia snekat? [07:17] Pyru: all lines starting with the word deb EXCEPT the deb cdrom you need to add a # to that [07:17] ok i'll copy and paste [07:17] Yanlowen, you can mount it, but read only, no write. [07:17] file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html [07:18] Flannel: that's the point. I don't want to have to comment out anything. [07:18] disinterseted_pe command prompt is not much fun 8-)) [07:18] fuck [07:18] Can I install the application to the the filesystem of ubuntu and run it from there? [07:18] yuo [07:18] all [07:18] :)))))))0 [07:18] it wont copy and paste [07:19] gnomefreak, this line #deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 [07:19] disinterseted_pe: ise pastebin to paste [07:19] Pyru: leave a 3 infornt of that one or put one there if not already [07:19] Yanlowen: I should think so. did you install ubuntu yet or are you using a live cd? [07:19] leave the # [07:19] s/3/# [07:20] any help would be appreciated pls :) [07:20] Installed, but what I am getting is that the appication is on the C: drive, but no C: exists. [07:20] disinterseted_pe ok it should work typing " cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins " no " obviously :)) [07:20] i hilited it and rt clicked and no paste bin either [07:20] ubotu tell mnk about webcam [07:20] make sure u have the / before the usr bit [07:20] thanks gnomefreak :) [07:21] So the application is installed under Ubuntu biut I can't find the root dir to run the Executable thru wine [07:21] Yanlowen: linux doesnt name drives like that [07:21] Yanlowen: um, how did you get a C: drive at all? I don't think linux has those [07:21] gnomefreak, so it should look like this? s/3/#deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)] / breezy main restricted [07:21] Pyru: no just the # [07:21] im new to linux, so im sorry [07:21] do i add the no? [07:21] Pyru: #deb cdrom: should be the beginning of it [07:22] nope just cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins [07:22] ok here i go enter [07:22] no such file or directory [07:22] well I must depart, guess I can work on this later [07:23] thanks for the advice so far [07:23] cd isnt supposed to be a separate entry? [07:23] type exactly from here cd /usr [07:23] disinterseted_pe: cd /usr/lib/blah/blah that lets you change directories to the path you give [07:24] disinterseted_pe: cd by itself will put you back to your home dir. [07:24] ok [07:24] disinterested_pe lol its quite hard to explain but its like gnomefreak said [07:24] i think it was the same with DOS :S cant mind [07:25] it came up but i cant see what it says im at the bottom of the page [07:25] johannes_erik: yes cd does the same in dos [07:25] If i install say bind9, postfix, ispconfig, apache, and i reboot the server, will these services automaticly restart do do i need to manually restart them>? [07:25] disinterseted_pe anyway lol try cd /usr [07:25] Aeudian: if you reboot the server (server being the whole computer?) then yes. And, you can restart them manually if you want as well. [07:25] gnomefreak , ok i barely mind DOS lol im too young for that stuff [07:26] ok [07:26] done [07:26] lol johannes_erik its still used in windows [07:26] thanks gnomefreak :) [07:26] 164 updates found! [07:26] hehe [07:26] disinterseted_pe i tells ya what directory ur in on the left of the blinking cursor [07:26] Flannel: thanks just making sure cause i know when i reboot my server i have to manually start a Teamspeak server script just making sure the services like dns start automically =P [07:26] yep usr$ [07:27] Pyru: yw but if you add the word multiverse after the word universe you should get more ;) [07:27] gnomefreak windows 2000 was the only OS i ever used :D [07:27] disinterseted_pe ok type cd /usr [07:27] cd /usr [07:27] heh , alrighty ill try it , gnomefreak also is there a way i can browse desktop themes for ubuntu? [07:27] Aeudian: yeah, teamspeak didn't automatically start? Odd, Oh, it isn't in the repositories, is it? you installed it by hand? [07:27] Flannel: yea by hand [07:27] ok [07:27] disinterseted_pe yup u type that in the terminal ? did it change ur directory ? [07:28] Pyru: system>prefference>themes in the gnome menu [07:28] Aeudian: that's why. All packaged services have init.d entries, and thus get restarted and taken care of and stuff [07:28] Ok, where is the python profiler in Ubuntu? [07:28] still usr$ [07:28] Breezy [07:28] Flannel: cool anything in the init.d folder auto starts? didnt know that [07:28] gnomefreak, is there available downloads , so i have more of a selection [07:28] type cd on its own [07:29] disinterseted_pe did that change the dir ? [07:29] bouncing: python2.4-profiler (it's in multiverse) [07:29] roryy: No, it isn't. [07:29] now its just $ [07:29] Flannel: so question if i put the script that i ./teamspeak start into the init.d folder would ts auto start? [07:29] ahh movment :D [07:29] roryy: It's referenced from multiverse, but is missing [07:29] heh [07:29] Aeudian: well, its a little more complicated than that, but in a nutshell. Those init.d scripts can also be used to restart any servers, like sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart would restart apache. [07:29] ah, ok [07:29] anyone here know anything about PHP5's SoapClient? I can't get it to work with Google's web api :/ [07:29] Pyru: yes you can check in synaptic theres some there also gnome-look.org also you can install gnome-art and with that no website needed it grabs the stuff off of art.gnome.com [07:30] Aeudian: I dont know about that. You might google a bit, or take a look, and see if theyre similar in structure. [07:30] now cd /usr [07:30] so i would do an apt-get install gnome-art ? [07:30] er [07:30] this is my first day on linux [07:30] sorry [07:30] Flannel: will do thanks Flannel [07:30] ok [07:30] usr$ [07:30] disinterseted_pe progress :D [07:30] Pyru, "sudo apt-get install gnome-art" [07:30] Pyru: yes that will do it [07:30] how do I enable SCSI support if I'm using a Live CD? [07:30] !sudo [07:30] sudo is probably a command that will let users run commands as root. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information. [07:30] bouncing: i'm downloading the package now. maybe it's architecture specific -- i'm on i386, what are you on? [07:30] disinterseted_pe ull get used to the basic commands after a short time :D [07:30] yes sorry use sudo [07:31] ok type progress? [07:31] roryy: i386 [07:31] except xubuntu, is there any ubuntu projects/forks which aims at getting a really fast ubuntu installation? my goal is to get ubuntu fast enough for a Pentium 166 ans such [07:31] roryy: Are you on dapper?

[07:33] now cd mozilla-firefox [07:33] Is there a way to tell apt-get to ignore dependencies? One of the mirrors I use for KDE 3.5.2 is wigging out and it won't let me proceed without it [07:33] gnomefreak, is limewire the only p2p music downloader for linux out atm?

I have more than one machine I have to deal with, but my range of machine would be P[166-233] , [32-128] of EDO [07:34] and then install it [07:34] Flannel: yes a straight server install should be fine on that but since he keeps bringing up wm i say its not gonna run fast [07:34] krang: shrug, yeah. server works just as well. There are a few options for him.

[07:39] TheBigToe: right, you have php installed, and apache installed,but no apache php module. you'll want libapache2 (or libapache) -mod-php4 [07:39] how come my evolution only shows red 'X's instead of actual icons? [07:39] disinterseted_pe now type dir [07:39] FeestBijtje: try what on aMSN? the webcam? it doesn't work on amsn [07:39] Subhuman: what means clock cycle?

You could boot from that and check what modules loaded [07:41] just dir [07:41] disinterseted_peas a single word [07:41] TheBigToe: only thing I can think of is you might need to enable it. go to your apache2 folder, check if mods enabled has some php thing in it. it should be a symlink. [07:41] FeestBijtje: creative, it was working fine, and then i installed something on linux and then it stopped working [07:42] mnk, then un install that program you've installed [07:42] i has php4.conf and php4.load [07:42] how do i launch gnome control center from the command line?

I use this and the aerial is up in my house. It is 6metres high. The problem is that there is a big mango tree which belongs to my neighbour and it is higher than my aerial.

[08:23] kubuntu is rather large :) [08:23] is there a prog in the repositry for converting wma to mp3 [08:24] disinterested_pe then id push enter and go onto the next file :) [08:24] cjfp: you might try #ubuntu-offtopic, they might know where you can get it.

[08:26] Pyru: lets say you wanted to install links2, lynx, bluefish you would typ sudo apt-get install links2 bluefish lynx [08:26] disinterested_pe cp /home/{FILE} /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins [08:26] ahhh i c [08:27] thanks [08:27] gnomefreak, another question how would I auto enable my wireless connection because after restarting I have to goto network connections and manually enable it after restarting everytime. [08:27] Pyru: let me know when done there is another command you need to run [08:27] disinterested_pe u have to do this for all the .so and .xpt files :) [08:27] right but if i add mplayer behind cd home it doesnt come up [08:27] Pyru: that i dont know im not a wireless guy [08:28] mhm. I've been using ubuntu for about 1 year, then I moved up to debian. I couldn't get rid of that dummy package, errors in ported packages etc. Now after using debian for about 4 months I think I'll swap back. I need a OS which just works. In debian everything has to be done by hand. I spend all my time in the front ot the computer compiling or configuring something. I need fscking frontend default, dummy packaged system that just works, where I don't have to si [08:28] brb need a smoke [08:28] heh kk thanks anyways , java should be done in a few mins. [08:28] disinterested_pe its not cd though its cp [08:28] heya people.. how can you replace the ubuntu icon beside the Applications menu to the default gnome icons the foot? [08:28] ok [08:28] sounds weird.. but i like it [08:28] :) [08:28] is there a way to mount windows in ubuntu, so that ubuntu can write to the windows (ntfs) partition? [08:28] not just read [08:29] from ubuntu guide it says to do this: /dev/hda1 /media/windows ntfs umask=0222 0 0 , but that is only for reading [08:30] !tell mish4 about ntfs [08:30] cp missing destination file [08:30] Anyone know how to make ubuntu recognise my SCSI disk? I've not got anything else to install to, and i know it's possible, because ubuntu is already on here (albeit a tad broken) [08:30] does ubuntu have a way to install steam? [08:30] SCSI Hard disk, that is [08:30] like so I can play counterstrike on it :P [08:30] lol [08:30] mish4: fwiw, there is a windows app that can read ext3 (the default linux fs) [08:30] !steam [08:30] somebody said steam was http://www.steampowered.com [08:30] Everytime I try to unrar something it says "x failed" (x being the amount of files in the bundle). But if I use the -t command I get a neat list of files in the .rar... I use unrar-free... what is wrong? [08:31] Pyru: Open your case, place kettle inside case, plug kettle in [08:31] gotchya. so pretty much with ntfs i cant write from ubuntu to windows. like download files but save them to windows? [08:31] ? [08:31] krang, I'll pass thanks anywyas lolol [08:32] Pyru: :-) [08:32] im still here lol [08:32] cp missing destination file [08:32] gnomefreak, should I grant stopthread?

[08:33] eww.. ati and ubuntu in the same sentance [08:33] Pyru: sudo update-alternatives --config java [08:33] Pyru: type that please [08:33] yep it says cp missing destination file === tag_ is now known as tag [08:34] Pyru: than choose the jave you just installed [08:34] I am having a hell of a time getting my second screen to work [08:34] and u added one of the filenames in there and typed that exactly [08:34] when i installed ubuntu, there was an hda1 folder on my desktop [08:34] http://pastebin.com/731611 this is my xorg.conf [08:34] i removed it [08:34] yes [08:34] gnomefreak, done [08:34] and instead i mounted /dev/hda1 to /media/windows [08:34] is that okay? [08:34] Pyru: now type java --version [08:34] gnomefreak, wonder why frostwire still doesn't work [08:34] mish4 yeah it doesn't matter [08:35] Pyru: give us a min on that === nalioth is now known as noirequus [08:35] but when i did sudo mount -a it said something about not having hda1 [08:35] y cant i put the totem ones in the trash then move them out?

[08:47] disinterested_pe try with nautilus [08:48] disinterested_pe that should work :) [08:48] ok [08:48] disinterested_pe infact thats a better idea than all the crap i suggest lol !

[08:56] anyone willing to help me with a WLAN problem ? [08:57] Subhuman: I was thinking that the bootable part and something else might be different with dvds but now that I think of it, it does make sense that cd iso would work just as fine with dvd. The dvd just got burned, so see ya. [08:57] maybe i'll find something more difficult next time [08:57] GigaFisse: willing, but can't promise [08:57] ok [08:57] PM?

[09:03] GigaFisse: http://pastebin.com/ [09:03] hi, guys [09:03] can i make the gnome-keyring not ask for password when Im logged in?

[09:05] oven: have you created just one user during the installation? [09:05] GigaFisse: i don't know your hardware. basic question: are you running a firewall that is blocking dhcp (icmp AFAIK) traffic ? [09:05] soundray: yes [09:05] soundray: that's the one I'm using [09:06] oven: can you open the gnome-terminal? [09:06] soundray: yes :) [09:06] GigaFisse: i am using firestarter here on this desktop .... i had to enable the dhcp option for my wifi interface so it would have worked. does it work if you use a static address ? [09:06] Spliffster: not at all... its just plain Ubuntu 5.10 with this USB WLAN stick..... the problem consists of not connecting to router.. [09:06] oven, can you enter a command with sudo in there? [09:06] soundray: do I have to be in the sudo or wheel group? [09:06] oven: you have to be in the admin group. [09:07] oven, but the first user is in there by default, normally [09:07] soundray: do you mean adm? [09:07] oven, no, admin [09:07] Spliffster: i am a little newbie what is firestarter (firewall??) and how would you enable dhcp on wifi [09:07] GigaFisse: driver problem ... hgave you tried to compile your own (mayb newer) kernel ? ... have you read up on the developers page (if any) ? i had quiet some problems to get my ipw2200 working 1 year ago [09:07] oven: I don't think it's been 'adm' since hoary [09:08] soundray: there is no admin group [09:08] soundray: and this is a fresh install [09:08] dooglus: strange [09:08] Spliffster: hmm driver problem? the driver is a part of the kernel [09:08] oven, that's strange. Would it be a major sacrifice to reinstall? [09:08] soundray: no, not at all [09:08] soundray: but I don't see how that would help, if I used the same cd again :) [09:09] oven: debugging this may well take longer. These things happen occasionally, and are often fixed by a reinstall. [09:09] oven: can you read the contents of /etc/sudoers ? [09:09] GigaFisse: it's a kernel module i guess. this would basicly mean a kernel recompilation in case there are newer kernel sources available for your driver. [09:09] dooglus: no, not as my user [09:09] soundray: it would be better to fix whatever causes it, wouldn't it? [09:09] oven: did you set a root password? [09:09] dooglus: yes [09:10] dooglus: and I can su to root [09:10] dooglus: it would be better, but it could be a rough ride. [09:10] :( [09:10] GigaFisse: but first you should ask mr. google if there are newer sources available [09:10] Spliffster: i don't think you are correct.. from zd1201-driver page: "Now it is part of the main kernel tree as of 2.6.12. " [09:10] soundray, dooglus - could I just add an admin user? [09:10] soundray, dooglus - or should I reinstall using some debug options (if any)? [09:10] oven: it's a group, and you could, but you need to be root to do it [09:10] oven: did you do an "expert" install? [09:10] admin group, I meant [09:10] sorry === Napoleon is now known as Mabus06 [09:11] dooglus: ok, no problem. What gid should I use? Just the first available? [09:11] GigaFisse: ok, then (and only if the driver si the problem) you might want to check for newer kernel sources (ubuntu laggs a bit behind). [09:11] over, "su" to root, and then "grep ^% /etc/sudoers" <-- what does that say? [09:12] dooglus: there are no lines starting with % [09:12] oven, odd [09:12] heya people.. how can you replace the ubuntu icon beside the Applications menu to the default gnome icons the foot? [09:12] I have: # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges [09:12] %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [09:12] soundray: no, I used a normal install [09:12] there was one strange thing that happened during the install. [09:12] actually, there were two [09:12] oven: how did you create root, then? [09:13] oven: should look simular to this %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL but since you enabled su you wont get that iirc [09:13] soundray: using the install program [09:13] soundray: that's a good question. the install program doesn't ask for a root password. [09:13] I am unable to play any music on amarok-1.4 without this pkg- and i just read on the forum that i'd be needing this package [09:13] dooglus: since your grepping sudoers he disabled it so he has no sudoers [09:13] oven, hmm, I didn't know that was possible. [09:13] Spliffster: could you maybe give me a hint how to do that? i saw on Ubuntu Package archive, that there was this "linux-source-foo.deb" file, but i can't seem to install the package ?? [09:13] The first strange thing was that "copy the remaining archives" failed. I figured that was not a big problem, since I could always copy them manually [09:13] is it possible to get xine-extracodecs on breezy? [09:13] gnomefreak: what do you mean? [09:14] !dapper [09:14] **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install, or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until than [09:14] the second thing was that after the reboot during the install process, the install program did not ask for my cd, so apt just hung indefinitely [09:14] so I had to -HUP apt-get in order to make it recognize the cd [09:14] oven: it sounds like the install didn't complete properly. [09:14] dooglus: the command is looking for /etc/sudoers but enabling su disables sudo so now sudo has no rights [09:14] gnomefreak: su is never disabled. [09:15] gnomefreak: what does 'enabling su' mean? [09:15] GigaFisse: oh sorry. you can download the latest source at ftp://kernel.org .. get the latest available 2.6 kernel (roughly 40-50MB). then you need some packages .... i'll get you the link in the meanwhile [09:15] dooglus: the su password is disabled by default [09:15] dooglus: root password is disabled by default [09:15] !root [09:15] Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information. [09:15] Spec: that's true. but setting a root password doesn't disable sudo [09:15] dooglus: you could 'su ' just fine, so in that respect, su is not disabled [09:15] GigaFisse: get a development kernel. [09:15] dooglus: of course not [09:15] Spec: that's what gnomefreak seems to think [09:15] dooglus: you have to enable it [09:16] Spliffster: hmmm... shouldn't i use an Ubuntu kernel ? [09:16] read the site above [09:16] gnomefreak: I don't [09:16] dooglus: i'm sure gnomefreak doesn't think that setting a root password doesn't disable sudo access ^.^ [09:16] hm, that's strange, when I think of it... the installer specifically asked for a root password [09:16] Spliffster: or have i misunderstood something major ? :D [09:16] oven: only if you do expert install [09:16] dooglus: after you run the dpkg -l command you need to change a file to enable sudo again or its gonna default to su [09:16] does the installer fall back to expert install in case of an error? [09:16] hey guys. [09:16] or rather, he doesn't think that setting a root password disables sudo access.... :p [09:16] oven: I believe so. [09:16] that could be it [09:17] Hi there, I have downloaded and installed w32codecs and mplayer but I still not able to view .wmv videos .. ? [09:17] I'm running an ubuntu live CD. I have set the user and root passwords, however when I try to lock the screen nothing happens [09:17] since the "copy remaining archives" step failed [09:17] and, no, enabling root doesnt disable sudo [09:17] Flannel: explain why after enabling su sudo no longer works [09:17] Here it's my pastebin --> http://pastebin.com/731670 [09:17] gnomefreak, what was the command to install more themes again please? [09:17] maybe I should verify my .iso image md5sum, burn another cd and do a fresh install again [09:17] gnomefreak: erm, su isn't 'enabling root', I never said anything about su ;) [09:18] gnomefreak: what dpkg -l command? that lists packages. why would I run dpkg -l? and what's gonna default to su? [09:18] Flannel: we were talking about su [09:18] Pyru: sudo apt-get install gnome-art [09:18] gnomefreak: I have a root password set, and sudo works just fine. [09:18] Pyru: than run it [09:18] GigaFisse: the ubuntu kernel is a patched debian kernel which is a patched kernel.org kernel. you are correct that you'll use quiet some convenience (of having the right patches applied fro splash screen etc.). on the other hand, you'll get a top-notch, with-all-that-gold-and-glitter kernel from kernel.org [09:19] not dpkg sorry its sudo passwd -l root [09:19] how can I get the close maximize/minimize buttons on the left side of the window? i'm on gnome [09:19] any ideas on what I need to do to get screen locking working? [09:19] dooglus: than you have to change /etc/shadow to enable sudo again [09:19] !gplflash [09:19] Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, stjepan [09:19] gnomefreak: passwd -l will lock an account. it changes /etc/shadow. [09:19] dooglus: yes it will relock su [09:19] anyone knows from where can I download the script for installing IE6 with Flash and Shockwave (under wine, of course) [09:19] as oven to run sudo apt-get update [09:20] i bet it doesnt run [09:20] ask* [09:20] Hi there, I have downloaded and installed w32codecs and mplayer but I still not able to view .wmv videos .. ? http://pastebin.com/731670 [09:20] gnomefreak: "locking su" isn't useful terminology. "su" doesn't get locked, the root password does. [09:20] HELP! My update notifier is eating HEAVY resource... 100% CPU usage is seen. i wan to disable it or stop it form starting automatically!! HOW?? <<< [09:20] Spliffster: well, will gnome work and everything after i apply a new kernel? [09:20] dooglus: you new what i meant [09:20] knew even [09:21] gnomefreak: I now what you mean yes, but it would be clearer for others if you used more helpful words. [09:21] just for the record, I have a root password set (although it's not a good idea and I almost never use it anyhow) .. 'sudo -i' to get a root shell, 'passwd root' to set the root password.. sudo still works, root logins work. afaik su is/was already installed but I never use that either. [09:21] oven: go back to a $ prompt and type sudo apt-get update please [09:21] anyone use a dual monitor setup? [09:21] anyone use a dual monitor setup with the nv driver? [09:21] you make it sound like the 'su' command is being turned on and off, which it isn't. [09:21] rather [09:21] I have no idea what you did that broke sudo, but setting a root password shouldn't have made any difference.. [09:21] gnomefreak: oven@pondus:~$ sudo apt-get update || echo fail [09:21] fail [09:21] Both monitors show up through the boot process...etc..but when I get to X, the left one works and the right one is garbage [09:21] gnomefreak, do you know where I can get that weather manager? for linux [09:21] i had it once before [09:21] but forget [09:21] zcat[1] : me too. I set it yesterday when I needed it for a short while. [09:22] dooglus: no but the password being locked due to it never being set up that renders su usless unless you enable the password [09:22] its like a little icon that shows the weather and tempature for ur panel [09:22] Hi does anyone know if I car start an app on a particular workspace? [09:22] tag, i have dual monitors with the "nvidia" driver... but they work with "nv" [09:22] Pyru: check synaptic [09:22] Please HELP! My update notifier is eating HEAVY resource... 100% CPU usage is seen. i wan to disable it or stop it form starting automatically!! HOW?? <<< [09:22] gnomefreak: "su" isn't useless - it is used to become any other user you like, so long as you know their password. [09:22] ericz: what's the difference? [09:22] Hi there, I have downloaded and installed w32codecs and mplayer but I still not able to view .wmv videos .. ? http://pastebin.com/731670 [09:22] ericz: care to help me trouble shoot my xorg.conf? [09:22] dooglus: su doesnt have a default password [09:22] how can I get the close maximize/minimize buttons on the left side of the window? [09:22] tag, none as far as i can tell.. but the nvidia driver gives a weird splash screen before X is run [09:22] oven: did you type the echo part? [09:23] gnomefreak: yes [09:23] A [09:23] A [09:23] GigaFisse: this document describes how to build a kernel with the debian tools (Which are used by ubuntu). at the stage where they "apt-get install thne extract it with tar, at this stage you should download your own kernel and extract it there. [09:23] oops [09:23] gnomefreak: just to show that it fails with an error code [09:23] Hahahahha, I need to use an application that is to big for my screen resolution....... [09:23] ignore that xD [09:23] oven: just type sudo apt-get update [09:23] Hi there, I have downloaded and installed w32codecs and mplayer but I still not able to view .wmv videos .. ? http://pastebin.com/731670 [09:23] gnomefreak, undr install you can set one if you do an "expert" install [09:23] gnomefreak: you seem a little confused. "su" is a command. it wouldn't have a password. accounts have passwords, not commands. [09:23] ericz: Right, I've seen that before ( when I used debian ) [09:23] how can I get the close maximize/minimize buttons on the left side of the window? [09:23] gnomefreak: then nothing happens [09:23] meheren: correct [09:23] the app is probablly for 1200xsomthing and i only have 1024x 800 [09:23] 'su' doesn't have _ANY_ password... any more than 'login' has a password. [09:23] tag: what's your problem with dual monitors? [09:23] dooglus: if it doesnt disable sudo password why cant he run sudo commands? [09:23] yeh [09:24] GigaFisse: if you are new to *nix, this might be easier to get in touch with the driver developer [09:24] su is a command to change to user root [09:24] HELP! My update notifier is eating HEAVY resource... 100% CPU usage is seen. i wan to disable it or stop it form starting automatically!! HOW?? <<< [09:24] gnomefreak: because his install failed part way though and never got around to setting up his sudoers file. that's my guess. what's yours? [09:24] Spliffster: ok thanks... can i ask what some of the patches is that debian and ubuntu applies ? [09:24] Maybe i can rotate the screen to get to the controlls on the bottom.. :( [09:24] ericz: Here is my xorg.conf... http://sial.org/pbot/17294 my problem is that when I log into X, the right monitor is nothing but garbled (wierd vertical lines and such) and I cannot stretch my mouse over to it, so I think it's just not set up right or something [09:24] oven: su to root and do: "apt-get --reinistall sudo" that should fix it [09:24] >> Howdo i DISABLE update-notifier from starting automattically??

[09:35] Spec: that's ok [09:35] meheren: np [09:35] dooglus: ^^^ that should help [09:35] Do you chaps know where the power management settings are in Ubuntu? [09:35] cmatheson: have you set up nvidia twinview with it? [09:35] abrar, sudo synaptic, search and then remove te package [09:35] gnomefreak, i just went to a website and it said click here to install this plugin, so thats how im installing it [09:36] the beginngin part is about how things are done iirc [09:36] dust: no, but twinview shouldn't have anything to do w/ your window manager [09:36] can you use a heredoc in a bash script? "export var=< alec_, ubuntu uses powernowd [09:36] Pyru: stop that please [09:36] i can't get it to take [09:36] Powernowd? [09:36] although i changed to close min max but that's just the order lol... [09:36] alec_, yeah it's the power management software for ubuntu, couldn't find a gui to configure it though [09:36] as you mit be able to tell i used mac all my life [09:36] I don't understand. I'm normally a windows user, but I'm completely sick of it. [09:36] hi my audio is had gone while opening the volume control i got the following msg do can any one tell me what to do....http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14482 [09:36] and used to everythin being on left not right [09:36] stopped the DL, it was macromedia flash player, is there a way to update firefox with wget? [09:36] the card I want to use is 0000:01:00.0 (PCI GeForce 2) but i also have one at 0000:00:01.0 (onboard graphics), what BusID do I write to utilize the PCI one? [09:36] Oh, so power settings are unconfigurable right now? [09:37] LinuxJones, thanks.... [09:37] Pyru: run this sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [09:37] Hmm.... [09:37] cmatheson: yeah, i've been reading about setting it up and everything (well, forums) say it effects it. [09:37] Alec doesn't understand. [09:37] Someone who hasn't changed them, what are the font sizes in firefox (Preferences>Fonts&Colours) [09:37] ? [09:37] Alec needs to set up his power settings. [09:37] But Alec finds no means of this. [09:37] Can anyone help me with yaboot? I had to restore a backup on an iMac G3 (in dual boot-configuration with Mac OS 9), and now Xubuntu doesn't boot no more, not even the yaboot boot part is recognized wzhen pressinf [alt] at boot... [09:38] dust: says it affects it in what way? [09:38] how do i get the volume control on my keybard to work === Warlord384 is now known as Terry_Tate [09:39] the volume bar moves up but the volume doesnt [09:39] page still isnt loading the flash [09:39] Anyone can help me? [09:40] Pyru: its not installing? [09:40] finished already [09:40] I need help please! === Terry_Tate is now known as Warlord384 [09:40] oven: are your su and sudo passwords the same? [09:40] Pyru: hold on a sec theres more [09:40] cmatheson: well it seems that megacity is 'buggy', and also if a video is open on the second monitor megacity will open windows on top of them. [09:40] Pyru: what version of ff are you using? [09:41] 1.08 [09:41] bbl [09:41] default upon ubuntu installation [09:41] hi my audio is had gone while opening the volume control i got the following msg do can any one tell me what to do....http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14482 [09:41] Pyru, I have 1.5 [09:41] PyroMithrandir, :-) [09:41] Pyru: open ff and click on help than about ff let me know the version please [09:42] :P tab complete [09:42] cmatheson: in general are you happy with openbox? is it glitchy or require a lot of setup? [09:42] gnomefreak: what are you talking about? === waky is now known as msyg|sleepy [09:42] oven: when you set the usr password and su password are they the same password? [09:43] gnomefreak: I think we've got it sorted now. if you set a root password when you install, then sudo isn't set up to allow members of the admin group to log in. [09:43] Pyru: try this sudo update-flashplugin [09:43] Pyru: than restart ff [09:43] correct thats why i asked what password he set he answered both [09:43] hola [09:43] dust: yeah, i like openbox a lot... it's not glitchy, very little setup depending on much you want to customize it... i don't know about windows opening on top of others depending on which monitor you're on though [09:43] hello [09:44] gnomefreak, no new version is detected [09:44] it already has that update [09:44] somebody here uses amule and can give me a hand to try to get the best ? [09:44] Pyru: restart ff flash should work [09:44] it looks like the best thing to do if you want both sudo and su to work is to not set the root password when you install, but to set it later using 'sudo passwd' [09:44] cmatheson: when i switch over will my panel setting remain? [09:44] Pyru: if not type about:config in the address bar and see if flash is in there and enabled [09:44] that way the 'passwd' package will still set up sudo to work for group 'admin' [09:45] dust: if you're going to use GNOME, yes. if you just use openbox though you won't have a panel === subsinker is now known as sub|off [09:47] I'm having a strange problem with a cifs mount. I can write to it pretty quickly, but reading from it is 10 times slower. [09:47] hello, please, can somebody help me to configure amule or to get the best servers ? [09:47] i purchased some tv shows on dvd. i'd like to rip the commentary tracks only (i.e. no video) is there a way to do this? [09:47] I can download off the net 10 times faster than I can read from the cifs drive I've mounted - and that's just feet away. [09:47] I used "sudo mount -t cifs -o password=,uid=chris //$server/d ~/smb/server/d;" to mount it - does that look OK? [09:49] cmatheson: yeah, i'll keep using gnome. in the wiki it says that if i like openbox i can save my settings before logging out to set it as the default window manager, if i don't save the session (say i don't like openbox) the next time i log on megacity should be there? [09:49] dust: GDM defaults to "the window manager I used last time" if I remembe correctly. [09:50] dust, i love openbox [09:50] dust: yes [09:50] dust, openbox is good for certain people, not good for others [09:50] what is openbox ? [09:51] dust, personally i use GNOME atm :) [09:51] galo: it's a window manager [09:51] galo, if you don't know what openbox is you probably don't need it... but then again you might [09:51] galo: it's much lighter than using a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE - but lacks features too [09:51] galo, openbox is a very very fast window manager with not a lot of bells and whistles like in GNOME [09:51] what about XFCE? [09:51] galo, there's no panel and no desktop per se [09:51] Mysta_: XFCE is somewhere between the 2 extremes [09:51] galo, you do have a right click menu that can be customized [09:52] meh, XFCE is becoming another GNOME/KDE pretty quickly [09:52] though it is faster than GNOME [09:52] dooglus: the screenshots I saw on their website look impressive. [09:52] if you add all the features that GNOME has to XFCE it'll be about the same speed :P [09:52] so if I wanted to try out XFCE it wouldn't be hard [09:52] Mysta_: it's my desktop of choice at the moment [09:52] Mysta_, nah, not at all [09:52] Mysta_, you can get it with synaptic [09:53] better than xfce4? [09:53] or a kind of ? [09:53] Mysta_: all you need to do is install "xubuntu_desktop" and it will be added to the list of sessions available from the gdm login screen [09:53] hello reply plz....... [09:53] galo, what better than what now? [09:53] xfce4 ... [09:53] sudo apt-get install xubuntu_desktop [09:53] ? [09:53] galo, FVWM is leet too :) [09:53] rQxoR: what people is it good for-- say (for example) a person (not necessarily me) just uses a computer, they don't program (or even know how) and would be considered semi-useful with computers and are fairly XP or OSX minded-- would openbox be okay for them? [09:53] Hi, when I play RO with wine, I got a graphical problem, what could be the reason ? [09:53] dust, probably not [09:54] r0xoR: no, it's a dash. [09:54] xubuntu-desktop [09:54] dust, for that you want GNOME or KDE [09:54] rQxoR: who is it good for? [09:54] dust, slow computers and people who know what they're doing [09:55] dooglus: thx [09:55] dust, at least people who are willing to read the manual [09:55] so, does anybody know how to get eclipse to run on top of sun jdk instead of gij? I made JDK my default runtime (using update-alternatives), but when i run top I can still see that gij is running it [09:55] cmatheson: it seems pretty safe to check it out then-- thanks for the help! [09:55] hola [09:56] gente [09:56] how do i upgrade firefox to the newest version, i downloaded the tar file [09:57] rQxoR: manuals and cut and paste or fine by me! [09:57] I just used automatix to install the jre and sdk for 1.5, but my programs are still using 1.4. Can anyone help me figure out how to update it? === Mariele is now known as Mar- [09:58] *are* fine by me (not or) === mumbles-foodshop is now known as mumbles [09:58] what is ubuntu's sound application, and where is it config? [09:58] r0xoR, please can you explin me what leet means ... a synonim... or whatever please [09:59] hahah... leet is an english permutation of the ending of the word elite... [09:59] gnomefreak, what app would I use to burn cd's Nero? [09:59] k3b [09:59] leet is a way to transform characters, not? [09:59] galo, so leet is short for elite... elite refers to people who think they are gods gift to the universe [09:59] does anyone know if there is a difference between xinerama and twinview (or how the two interact)? [09:59] r0xoR: no, not a permutation. [09:59] like i = 1 e = 3 and other [09:59] #newuser [09:59] Flannel, whatever semantics boy [09:59] :) [10:00] r0xoR: using completely unrelated terminology is hardly semantics. [10:00] meh [10:01] I've had a problem here. I cannot conect to www.hotmail.com with mozilla; konqueror and mozilla firefox. The page don't load at all! Any help? === james is now known as njan [10:01] <[NP] Tangent> hey [10:02] <[NP] Tangent> this may be a stupid question [10:02] <[NP] Tangent> but does K3V work in Gnome? [10:02] Yes [10:02] <[NP] Tangent> K3B* [10:02] <[NP] Tangent> cool [10:02] Any kde app will. [10:02] It just won't look the same as your gnome theme [10:02] <[NP] Tangent> hot damn! [10:02] <[NP] Tangent> yeah [10:03] I just used automatix to install the jre and sdk for 1.5, but my programs are still using 1.4. Can anyone help me figure out how to update it? [10:03] i find kde apps to be abit glitchy-- but maybe i'm just not setting them up right. [10:04] Na, they work fine for me. [10:04] well as i said i probably just don't set them up right. [10:04] Maybe. [10:04] Linux never seems to work the same on different computers, lol [10:05] gnomefreak, you around? [10:05] i would go as far as saying it doesn't work the same way twice on one computer ;) [10:05] Wich OS is better? Ubuntu or WinXP? [10:05] Yeah, that sounds better! [10:06] better is a subjective concept-- what are you looking for? [10:06] Like how my graphics card fixed itself. I'm still trying to figure out how or why. [10:06] Pyru, ask the question to everyone. This is a channel :-) [10:06] hi my audio is had gone while opening the volume control i got the following msg do can any one tell me what to do....http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14482 [10:06] dust: I think Ubuntu is a gift of the gods :D [10:07] So true. I don't use MS stuff anymore. [10:07] thanks r0xoR [10:07] papillon: yeah i like it too. [10:07] I am curious on what application to use to burn CD's audio etc, I seem to be having problems using serpentine, if i add a song, it doesnt show up on the list [10:07] galo, uhhh, no problem [10:07] Pyru, try k3b. Always seems to work for me. [10:07] i second a vote for k3b [10:07] good stuff [10:07] ShadowNova, no clue how to get that , this is my first day on linux [10:08] ohh, sorry, lol [10:08] geting your kindness ... r0xoR i repeat my question... do you use amule ? [10:08] Pyru, have you used synaptic yet? [10:08] galo, uhhh i didn't know you asked me that [10:08] yes [10:08] galo, no i don't [10:08] Pyru, Ok, I think k3b is there, let me check. [10:09] ShadowNova, yes it is [10:09] neither do i, but somebody ask for some help and i'm trying now, the problem is the connection is not feet :p [10:09] Pyru, Yeah it is. Open synaptic and run a search for k3b. [10:09] then I mark k3b for installation? [10:09] are alsa drivers typically used for most audio drivers? [10:09] Pyru, If you've ever used Nero before, it's kinda like that. [10:09] Pyru, yes [10:10] then what do I do after marking? [10:10] Pyru, it should also install k3blib or something like that [10:10] Pyru, just click 'apply' at the top and it'll do everything for you [10:11] pyru, once that's done, you should find it under Applications>Sound & Video>k3b [10:14] hello [10:14] For some reason, my xorg-driver-fglrx is not installed correctly [10:14] and i'm unable to remove it [10:14] could someone help me? [10:14] I had the same thing happen to me. ATI is a little wierd. [10:14] i've got a wifi card that ubuntu does not want to load [10:15] did you manage to solve it? [10:15] any pointers? [10:15] Yeah, but I don't know how. It just sort of started working one day, lol [10:15] anyone have any suggestions on how to get google videos to play nicely instead of the choppy/splotchy playback I currently get? [10:15] I did find a tutorial somewhere that helped a bit. Let me see if I can find it. [10:16] hello) [10:16] ShadowNova: Thank you. [10:16] avalost, increase your resolution, and increase the amount of ram you video is allowed to use [10:16] Does anybody know how to install gtkpod 0.99.2 in breezy? [10:16] currently at max resolution [10:16] is linux a match for xp when it comes to playing games [10:17] I can't burn audio cds with Gnome Baker, I've opened it on the terminal and when its going to start to burn the cd it gives me this error: http://pastebin.com/731774 anybody can helpme?? [10:17] and currently no restrictions on ram [10:17] waxmatch, basically, no. [10:17] can i even play games with linux === _harm is now known as Heroin [10:17] ah, thanks [10:17] yes, but none of the big game companies port to linux EXCEPT ID [10:17] waxmatch: you can but you need an emulator for win based games [10:17] so u can play doom 3, quake etc. and Unreal Tournament [10:17] ah, so there is hope [10:17] like Cedega or Wine [10:17] or Steam games [10:17] waxmatch, for games Cedega is better, itz not free however. [10:18] unless you know good Torrent or Warez sites ;) [10:18] so back to google video.. [10:18] ok, well im new to linux so i'll give it a go [10:18] i am sort of let down that i can't play them [10:18] this is running of a spare system [10:18] well they play but they don't play well [10:18] but i'm impressed [10:18] :) [10:18] i am back gepetto!!

[10:20] so i need some easy solutions [10:20] ShawdowNova: thanks, but that is the guide I orignally used. I installed xorg-driver-fglrx but for some reason it did not show up on the list after sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. And now I can't uninstall it ><. [10:21] :) [10:21] leojstewart, oh. That's odd [10:21] now i'm trying to install java with firefox, any help ? while somebody tell me some guide i will try with goolge [10:21] but a shortcut will be fine [10:21] Pyru: use k3b or gnomebaker [10:21] ShadowNova yeah, I'm quite stuck. Not quite sure what to try next... [10:22] leojstewart, Yeah, my card was odd for a while untill it just kind of started working.

My card was an xtasy [10:23] avalost: no, sorry [10:23] ShadowNova ATI Raedon 9800 Pro is mine...? [10:23] From my understanding, ATI doesn't regulate chip sets on their non-official brands, so the Linux ATI support is retarted. [10:24] ShadowNova damn them. :P [10:24] I'm trying this guide at the moment: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557 [10:24] Anyone used ubuntu for dualcore?

[10:25] i will see, but to be honest i dont like too much ubuntu-guide [10:25] guys, gcc can't compile anything.. it says cant find crt1.o [10:25] leojstewart, Lexmark printers, like, don't work. [10:26] ShadowNova luckily I have HP, or else that would hurt my poor newbie-brain [10:26] lol [10:26] question guys, i had an ATI 8500 Le and just installed a Matrox G450 (dual vga) and now i get an error when x is trying to start how can i reconfigure x [10:26] Just don't try Ubuntu on an HP laptop.

Can anyone help me figure out how to update it? [10:28] !automatix [10:28] get alsa-utilities and alsa-base then execute sude alsaconf [10:28] from memory, automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky.

[10:36] please, i need help [10:36] what's better? gnome or KDE? I just read an article that has Linus Tovalds recommending KDE, saying it's more efficient. Is that true? [10:36] Hi, on a server where I got told be be serveradmin they are using UTF-8 in the console even through SSH and my terminal dont support UTF-8. So I wonder is there anything in my .bashrc that I can edit to get it to use ISO-8859-1 when I log in? [10:36] how do i reset print jobs? [10:36] I like XFCE its sooooo light :) [10:36] bk: i prefer gnome [10:36] just the looks [10:36] bk it's all up to opinion [10:37] and the simplicity [10:37] bk i prefer gnome - nice and simple [10:37] gnome = firefox kde=opera to me [10:37] well, i mean UI wise [10:37] opera = better to me, but gnome = better [10:37] opera isn't even part of KDE. It's not even open source. [10:37] <-- just trying to lick his right elbow [10:37] opera is pretty awesome though [10:37] qt/kde apps tend to be more complex [10:38] dmbt, true, but they're also better integrated [10:38] and not following the trend of simplicity in the computer world [10:38] I found it it was the LANG variable I was looking for [10:38] if anyone wants to read the article, here is the link http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/blog/2006/05/taking_a_linuslike_attitude_to.html [10:38] njan: reminds me of internet explorer :) [10:38] dmbt, half the gnome apps have their own method of storing passwords and secrets, usually involving plaintext or at the most base64 encoding [10:38] dmbt, gaim and evo both store passwords in stupid, easy to thieve places. [10:38] why can't i remove xorg-driver-fglrx?? [10:38] anyway, i don't want to get in a gnome vs kde argument [10:38] whereas most everything in KDE for instance integrates with kde-wallet and has passwords stored centrally, encrypted, and protected by a passphrase. [10:38] how can i install audio drivers? [10:38] anyone, I just installed apache2 on a new server, can someone tell me whether you have to use php in order to use the phpmyadmin graphical user interface? [10:39] dmbt, it's not an argument, just points to help the OP decide which he might like better :) [10:39] dmbt: i'm not trying to get into an argument. As a newbie, I want to know what's good. If the Man is suggesting KDE, I'm thinking of trying it too, but I wanted to know what everyone else uses. [10:39] njan: there is gnome-keyring [10:39] Arrick well, its called *php*myadmin for a reason :-) [10:39] i didnt get what is the problem b'coz when i go to multimedia system selector n then check for the audio output then its coming n still its coming during multimedia system selector check.. but while playin any song no audio output is coming [10:39] anyone know what command you can put in the postfix main.cf config to force a reverse dns lookup for mail from: [10:39] bk: its really up to you [10:39] dmbt, there is, but most of the gnome apps don't use it [10:40] whatever you like better [10:40] try both of them [10:40] njan cough gnome cough gnome 8-) [10:40] dmbt, evolution is the default gnome mail client and gaim is the default IM client, and neither of them use it [10:40] hmm,to multimedia system selector n then check for the audio output then its coming n still its coming during multimedia system selector check.. but while playin any song no audio output is coming [10:40] dmbt, kmail and kopete, which are the equivalents, both use kde-wallet [10:40] how to you open .rar files i linux? [10:40] NoUse, I was just making sure [10:41] senjin, apt-get install unrar [10:41] !tell senjin about rar [10:41] well, i personally use thunderbird for mail, as i hate evolution, and for gaim, no excuses for that [10:41] i believe thunderbird should be default mail clinet for gnome [10:41] hmm, i didnt get what is the problem b'coz when i go to multimedia system selector n then check for the audio output then its coming n still its coming during multimedia system selector check.. but while playin any song no audio output is coming [10:41] dmbt, it's silly bundling a groupware client and a mail client, which I think is why kde comes with evo and thunderbird [10:41] dmbt, there isn't enough space on a 650mb CD for two mail clients [10:42] hello is it possible to check my grub menu after already loggin in? [10:42] once xulrunner support is finished, it should be only a couple megs for each new mozilla based program [10:43] mysta, the configuration file is in /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:43] http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#codecs !!its unofficial but mostly works :) [10:43] mysta, which lets you see what options are there.. [10:44] hey folks, is there a net install iso for dapper? [10:44] dmbt i fully agree that by the time their bundling firefox i think thunderbird should be default in gnome! [10:45] !ubuntuguide [10:45] from memory, ubuntuguide is badly out of date, reported to break a lot and generally a bad source for information. Use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead. [10:45] hmm: dont ever advise that [10:46] hmm try the wiki , its far better ;D [10:46] thanks njan! [10:46] i have a problem with my wireless...it seems to work when I'm at school but at home..it doesnt...i can see my router but when it wont connect properly [10:46] anyone have an idea?

[10:47] erik_m: yes 5.10 [10:47] acke: you're asking if ubuntu will work on a dual core intel processor? [10:47] Ratzilla is ur home network get a dhcp setup ? [10:47] acke: yes, it will work, but once you install it, woull want to switch to a smp kernel [10:47] to take advantage of both cores [10:48] is there a net install iso for dapper? [10:48] erik_m: yes its DHCP, i also have the wep key which i entered too [10:48] !netinstall [10:48] okidoki [10:48] I guess netinstall is To install Ubuntu via the net, try here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75372 ... Breezy netboot CD image: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso [10:49] and the school network is dhcp too ?

Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, swim [10:50] erik_m: it just connects automatically and then you login with a browser so there's no requirement for a wep key [10:50] Ratzilla: go to system (top) then admin then networks [10:50] swim: yes [10:50] My ProxyRequest / ProxyPass directives are broke, do i need to enable a module other then proxy_html.load to get it to work? [10:50] ubotu tell swim about netinstall [10:50] swim: read your pm [10:51] but its really not that bad :) [10:51] Ratzilla: then click on ur wireless then properties [10:51] gnomefreak, seems to say its a breezy mini.iso (the pm) [10:51] erik_m: it goes activating interfacve "eth1" but it doesnt end...after a few mins, it'll stop and then say that the device is active..although it wont work [10:52] swim: yes this is the breezy channel im thinking there is one for dapper but maybe not [10:52] would someone remind me how to use a .run file? I'm having a noob moment... [10:52] How do i get proxying to work like normal in apache2 ubuntu? i can confirm that proxy_html.load is already loaded [10:52] gnomefreak, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ seems to have one [10:52] Ratzilla: ok u know the IP of ur router/gateway ? [10:52] swim: ok there you go [10:52] thx [10:53] Hi All! Do you know where can I find more stencil for KIVIO, OpenOffice Draw and/or DIA?

Afterwards I switch my printer on and it keeps on printing (now, special chars)... I can't stop it... what can I do? [10:54] turn it off at the wall and leave it for a while [10:54] it's been off for two hours [10:55] hell knows then.. printers suck [10:55] so everything that the user installs will be installed to /home/.whatever ? [10:55] no... [10:55] prob, with original ubunto guide is, that it is difficult to find it :p guess it would cost to much to buy of the http://ubuntuguide.org/ address hehe [10:55] Ratzilla: u find the DNS bit ? [10:55] mish4: no [10:55] okay. guess my logic was wrong [10:55] erik_m: yeah, its processing [10:55] Anyone have any suggestions for my question here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1037174#post1037174 ? (I have asked in here 3-4 times, none of which have I found an answer...don't really want to repeat it all again) [10:55] it never touches /home unless you download it manully and place it there [10:55] applications are kept in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin etc... [10:55] hmm, ubuntuguide is badly out of date. Use wiki.ubuntu.com or help.ubuntu.com instead [10:56] Ratzilla: did u need to add it to the DNS list ? [10:56] Tristian, it's like /dev/printer queue is not empty [10:56] erik_m: yeah i did, should i disconnect my cable and see if it works? [10:56] Hi, could somebody assist me with configuring my wlan? I'm starting to become a bit desperate ... [10:56] hi again, i've installed java-sun but always i have to access to a web with java the button to install the plugin appears... always tells to install java plugin, but it fails and suggest me to install it manual (what i did). i run the test page from sun and it seems to work, but i cant run sites with jave as http://www.numion.com/YourSpeed3/Run.php?QuickStart=SelectDefaults to know my speed. plase somebody can help ? thanks for your time [10:56] Ratzilla: cause that may be the problem with it , certainly worth a try :) [10:57] erik_m: okay :) ill disconnect my cable and see if it works [10:57] galo, you need to make sure your system is actually using Sun Java. See the RestrictedFormats page on the wiki. [10:57] yeah but www.ubuntuguide.org makes more sense and is easy to find, i am applying to the domain name :p [10:57] hmm, yeah, it's a good URL - too bad the info on it isn't good anymore [10:58] helped me out sometimes [11:00] okay okay, but u have to admire the easy structure of the page, sorry but i had a look at the official guides :( [11:00] no good for noobs [11:00] how can i make it so i can see the files from another hardrive that has windows on it [11:01] hmm i know what u mean about the structure although the wiki is very easy to use!

[11:05] <[NP] Tangent> and my wireless already works [11:06] someone know how to set up a anonym proxy server [11:06] erik_m: hey, it didnt work x.x it said that it was "disconnected" [11:06] <[NP] Tangent> so you shouldn't have too much trouble [11:06] ok... [11:06] zack, you need to make the /mnt/windows dir and use cfdisk /dev/hda or hdb or hdc to see if you can find the windows partition [11:06] <[NP] Tangent> if I can get it to work... [11:06] I'm used to Fedora you see [11:06] gnomefreak, yeah, we basically rewrote the entire Desktop Guide for Dapper - there's a new guide for Kubuntu & one for Xubuntu as well [11:06] bobbyd thanks [11:06] <[NP] Tangent> what card you have? [11:06] zack, although maybe ubuntu can do that for you automatically [11:06] [NP] Tangent: it depends which hardware you have.. you can't speak it general like that [11:06] sweet [11:06] <[NP] Tangent> yeah, I know, mathieu [11:06] <[NP] Tangent> but see, things I touch like to break [11:06] <[NP] Tangent> not function [11:07] edimax ew-7108pcg [11:07] i see doc team has been hard at work ;) [11:07] zack, in KDE I can just add it in system settings->disk & filesystems [11:07] Ratzilla : hmmm u try open a webpage ?

[11:08] bobbyd: not safely its not [11:08] bobbyd but not safe [11:08] gnomefreak, yes it is, I'm not talking about the standard driver [11:08] !captive [11:08] somebody said captive was a project to use windows NTFS drivers under linux. It does not work properly with Ubuntu. [11:08] if not a part of it already , the posibility I can modify it to add openvpn [11:08] no its not bobbyd ntfs write support is not there because its not safe [11:09] n8 [11:09] gnomefreak, http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ [11:09] erik_m: are ipw2200 drivers installed with 5.10 by default? [11:09] !tell bobbyd about captive [11:09] bobbyd: captive _isnt_ safe [11:09] is php hard to use? [11:09] df [11:09] gnomefreak, maybe not under ubuntu... [11:09] bobbyd: this is not a debate there is no such thing as safe writing to ntfs [11:09] no [11:10] gnomefreak, of course there is, run windows under linux :) [11:10] Kater`, why not just ask your question again, rather than complaining about feeling ignored...? [11:10] bobbyd, you should consider a fat file then [11:10] Use Qemu to install Windows on GNU/Linux [11:10] ratzilla i dont think they are but theres a guide on the ubuntu forums about it [11:11] Madpilot because the question was multiple lines long and repeating it could easily be seen as spam [11:11] but i'll repeat then [11:11] hello [11:11] I installed the broadcom drivers, the net config thingy found my network bit I didn't get a dhcp adress, switched my wlan to non-protected, still no dhcp, used a static ip, windows machine could ping laptop but not the other way around, i tried kismet and airsnort to check if the network worked but now i can't modprobe ndiswrapper anymore ... help please? [11:11] when i try the command cp /folder/ /home/zack/folder2 it says cp: ommiting directory 'folder' [11:11] zack: cp -r [11:11] mathieu thanks [11:11] hi [11:11] cp will only copy files by default [11:11] hola [11:12] no ubuntu bootable cd distro ? [11:12] will dapper drake install cd have support for cryptsetup-luks [11:12] hello all [11:12] yes there is cytrak [11:12] cytrak: what do you mean all the iso's are bootable [11:12] anyone know how to stop cron from sending messages? [11:12] called liveCD [11:12] u can even order then for free no cost at all [11:12] gnomefreak, captive seems to work for some people as there are testimonials on the website saying it works... [11:12] yep [11:12] Arrick: not much longer :( [11:12] ubuntu running from a CD only [11:12] there will be for me [11:13] linardy: sending messages? [11:13] I have 50 copies here [11:13] [11:13] bobbyd: are you gonna be here to put their data back on their pc and fix it when it doesnt work for them? [11:13] i got 20 copies of ubuntu live-cd and installer cds [11:13] emails [11:13] or, sys messages to qmail [11:13] gnomefreak, um, no? [11:13] I thought [11:13] bobbyd: than dont suggest it since it is not safe [11:13] Can the live CD be modified and recreated ? [11:13] gnomefreak, I'll suggest what I like, people can make their own decisions [11:13] !tell cytrak about livecd [11:14] dunno :) [11:14] bobbyd: im asking you nicely please dont suggest that in here [11:14] cytrak> use *noppix, it's designed for that [11:14] yes i do but cant be botherd [11:14] linardy: cron should only email you if a job has a problem [11:14] really [11:14] hmm [11:14] ratzilla try http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26623 [11:14] maybe it's plesk that's sending them [11:14] bobbyd, people who repeatedly give bad advice here will be asked to leave. With kickban, if needed. Cool it, OK? [11:14] ? [11:15] linardy: dunno about plesk [11:15] kk, thx [11:15] http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7246 [11:16] gnomefreak, I'll suggest what I think is appropriate. I didn't say it was foolproof, just that it was possible. [11:16] HymnToLife: Yeah I always checking knoppix, knoppix-std and slax [11:16] linardy: I don't have a message from here atm, but it's pretty clear if it was sent by cron [11:16] ubuntu livecd doesn't support cryptsetup, so i can't use dm-crypt ... [11:16] linardy: a message from cron here, rather [11:17] @ http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7246 have fun :) [11:17] Is flashplugin-nonfree missing from multiverse? I don't seem to be able to pick it up. [11:17] aquo: and the plain install cd does ? [11:17] It appears to be sent by cron [11:17] visik7: i haven't tried, i just tried the livecd [11:17] Cron cmd [11:18] aquo: breezy or daper ? [11:18] dapper [11:18] are the subject lines [11:18] dapper [11:18] bobbyd: i asked you not to suggest it for anyreadon in this channel [11:18] i am so glad that atheros madwifi is supported now, but i need cryptsetup-luks too [11:18] im gonna ask you to please cool it now [11:18] howdy all [11:18] hey gnomefreak you cant even get ubuntu from shippit now? [11:18] aquo: I never tried dm-crypt how much does it overload the system ? [11:19] Arrick: yes you can [11:19] not on the site [11:19] dapper [11:19] Arrick: they are taking orders for dapper [11:19] i ordered them [11:19] Arrick, they're not shipping right now, but they're taking orders for Dapper [11:19] linardy: is it an error? cron doesn't email to say "I just did what I was supposed to" in my experience [11:19] oh ok [11:19] they will not ship until after the final release [11:19] when 'mount' tells me "//192.168.1.12/d on /mnt/breezy/home/chris/smb/server/d type cifs (rw,mand)", what does the "mand" bit mean? [11:19] i have some issues.. i upgraded the stuff adept told me to upgrade.. it was alot.. however,, after i it had upgraded.. my mozilla | firefox or konqueror cant play flash sites [11:19] how do i fix it [11:20] visik7: depends on chiper, key-length and several other parameters (atime-logging for example) ... i think it ist 15-20% on my pentium-3 1.13 [11:20] I need 2000 cds in a month or so... :) [11:20] octan: type about:config in the address bar of firefox and see if flash is listed in there [11:20] erik_m: actually i think i found the problem..i just checked my router settings and its on WPA and not WEP [11:20] no errors [11:20] aquo: have you ever tried hardware accelerators ? [11:20] just output [11:20] Spec: atm youll be lucky to order 10 ; [11:20] the cron cmd runs a php script === raven301_ is now known as Raven301 [11:20] Spec, if it's for a special event, email shipit directly - they might be able to do something for you [11:21] ratzilla http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26623 tells how to setup wpa :) [11:21] lynx --dump http://path/to/script /dev/null [11:21] erik_m: awesome :) thanks [11:21] visik7: not myself, but friends of mine use via-epia with crypto-support ... the cost for encryption goes to almost zero [11:21] but I get a msg everytime it runs [11:21] my understanding is they will be opening up for the large orders soon [11:21] gnomefreak its like 1000 things there.. is the name exactly flash? [11:21] ,;,'.`,''.`.':. [11:21] .'.` ; ;. `'` .``. [11:21] ; ;` ` ` ;` ``: [11:21] ':,`:`.`:~..`.;' [11:21] :.:.| [11:21] _:..:|_ [11:21] `-|___:-' [11:21] Ts97 : .:| [11:21] hmm: stop [11:21] __.=~'=___=`~=.__ [11:21] `~~~~~~~' [11:21] aquo: I know but I would crypt on laptop not on an epia [11:21] :p [11:21] hmm: don't do that [11:21] hmm: join #ubuntu-flood for crap like that [11:21] kick him [11:22] hmm not a good idea [11:22] aquo: do you know other crypto device (possibly not integrated into the core ? [11:22] Spec: i dont think flood would take that [11:22] yeah like some spanking [11:22] Hey, does ubuntu support intel core duo?? and what architecture should I choose for the install? [11:22] giveme [11:22] geez how long does it take you to make that :-p [11:22] hehe [11:22] Madpilot: i was half-way joking -- I do need the cds, but I think someone else is taking care of it :p [11:22] visik7: i don't know about other crypt-devices that are freely available [11:22] gnomefreak is the name exaxctly flash? [11:22] acke: core duo has nothing special a part from be a dual proc linux support dual processor since ages [11:22] octan: you should see flash enabled in there [11:23] visik7 oooh o.O [11:23] octan: it's something with flashplayer in it.. [11:23] visik7 so i pick a regular i86 arch. for the duo core for my laptop? [11:23] Is there a reason why a normal user might need good randomness? I was thinking of installing and using reseed if so. [11:23] mine is flashplayer-nonfree from an unofficial repository [11:23] acke: yes [11:23] octan: it should be flash-nonfree [11:23] visik7ooh thanks [11:24] i dont see it [11:24] odd [11:24] visik7 yeah now that i remember. i tried the i86 live ubuntu cd. ,,,, dont work [11:24] eugman: gpg [11:24] eugman: not in the general case I think [11:24] octan.. add extra repositories [11:24] dakira: he had it to start with [11:24] acke: dunno [11:24] acke: what laptop ? [11:24] octan: are you on breezy? [11:24] visik7so would an install work ? [11:24] eugman: time is a pretty good seed in most cases [11:24] acke: dunno even what laptop u have [11:25] linardy: how odd - you're sure it's not compaining about something? [11:25] dapper [11:25] gnomefreak: oh [11:25] gnomefreak its installed according to synaptic [11:25] amphi, in what cases would I need a gpg key? [11:25] octan: join #ubuntu+1 and they have been having issues with flash [11:25] linardy: you could look at /etc/cron* [11:25] sure [11:25] hi all.... I am looking for the most user friendly path from a dv/firewire camcorder to a linuxbox->edit to a video dvd ....what would you reccommend? I need to advise a friend (smart but not up to date with linux) [11:25] acke: so ? [11:26] visik7 acer tm 4674 [11:26] eugman: mail encryption, mail signing? but /dev/random should be ok, it's just /dev/urandom that's not overly random [11:26] oh a crappy acer [11:26] visik7yeah [11:26] spundun: there are books and online tutorials/HOWTOs on that. However DV to PC under Linux is easy (the 1394 drivers), editing is OKish, creating a DVD video can be complex because DVD videos are complex. [11:26] so here's the story: i'm setting up nvidia twinview and/or tvout, in the wiki it tells me to set the meta modes to things like 800x600, 800x600, (one set for each monitor?) but what if you want the monitors to have different resolutions can you 640x480, 800x600? [11:27] GPG will not use /dev/urandom, using /dev/random is hardcoded into GPG [11:27] got cron [11:27] spundun, kino [11:27] , /dev/urandom isn't random enough for good encryption [11:27] is there anything between breezy and dapper? [11:27] linchris: no [11:27] linchris: no [11:27] ok [11:27] .. [11:27] Spec: yeah, that's what I was saying [11:27] acke: personally I hate acer they broke things and make life of a linux user an pain in the ass [11:27] spundun: check out the IEEE1394, Video4Linux and various other projects... [11:27] eugman: people trying to crack your encryption would have a _really_ hard time even if you use /dev/urandom I think [11:28] visik7: my acer laptop works 100% [11:28] Spec: good for you [11:28] Spec: he was taling about installing some other PRNG, as I understood, and /dev/random should be good enough [11:28] spundun, and maybe cinelerra if he wants to do lots of editing [11:28] blah... keep having problems with kubuntu [11:28] visik7: many laptops i've tried that have sucked with linux, just sayin, my experience with acer is good === CyaniCs is now known as CyaniCs|Testing [11:28] for browsing windows share networks in natuilus, how do i change the workgroup name to look for? [11:28] amphi: oh [11:28] opps! i did it again! [11:28] hehe [11:28] and does anyone know where a full list of nvidia 'option' lines *with descriptions* can be found? [11:29] oh, /dev/random is a good PRNG [11:29] visik7 yeah im actually running ubuntu on my old acer tm 370 and it works like a charm [11:29] if you're going to do anything, get a TRNG [11:29] no ban can hold me back [11:29] muhaha [11:29] hey the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 0.3.1 does not work as in i can't select the actual speed [11:29] what is the simplest way to set up a caching dns server on my system, which is only available locally? [11:29] :p [11:29] bobbyd: so kino and cinelerra take care of importing and editing... so how do I burn a video dvd? any software that does that? [11:30] and it's locked at 1ghz [11:30] hackel, install bind? [11:30] haakonn: dnsmasq is a caching dns forwarder, if that's all you want [11:30] spundun, k3b? maybe dvd::rip [11:30] acke: spec: yes on many acer works well but try to search "acer linux dsdt" on google and you understand why I hate acer [11:30] amphi: sounds right, thanks [11:30] haakonn: apt-cache show dnsmasq will give you some info [11:31] dsdt? [11:31] bobbyd: dvd:rip? I want to burn :) [11:31] any ideas [11:31] spundun, it burns too. http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Burning_Video_DVDs_in_Linux.html [11:31] why hasn't MySQL received updates? we're still on 4.0.x???!!! [11:31] what is DSDT? [11:31] Spec: Differentiated System Description Table [11:31] visik7: did you decompile, correct, and recompile your dsdt? ;) [11:31] can any help with nvidia options? [11:31] What's it used for? [11:32] amphi: I haven't an acer, but helped many friends of mine to fix that crap [11:32] and how does dsdt affect an acer system? [11:32] why hasn't MySQL received updates? we're still on 4.0.x???!!! [11:32] Spec: practically acpi will not work [11:32] ubotu, tell bkeating about timetable [11:32] no temperature no battery no speedstep nothing [11:32] hmm, i didn't touch dsdt and my acpi works, it monitors battery life and thermal temperature just fine... [11:33] so, only some acer systems? [11:33] bobbyd: cool.... thanks a lot! [11:33] Spec: the problem doesn't affect all acer [11:33] ah, k [11:33] well, yeah, that'd be a bitch then :p [11:33] visik7: loads of errors trying to recompile it? [11:33] amphi: sorry ? [11:33] bkeating, see the PM you just got from the bot [11:33] spundun, np. kino is simple, cinelerra is complex and powerful (and usually a pita to get working properly :) [11:34] visik7: the dsdt on the acer on which acpi was completely broken [11:34] amphi: ... yes [11:35] hmmm.... I wish there was some kinda simple task flow here, where when you plugin a camcorder it will ask you if you want to import the video, once you import it will ask if you want to edit it... and the editor has a button which will launch the video in a dvd burning utility... with the right resolution and all... [11:36] bobbyd: kinda like iMovie and iDVD [11:36] Madpilot: thanks for the headsup, but this is a 3rd party package, something a porter is responsible for, they (cna) release updates daily, don't they? [11:36] spundun, maybe :) [11:36] visik7: could you correct them? I mucked about with my dsdt, just out of curiosity, but it compiled without error [11:36] Is there a way to get a scrnshot of a text terminal? [11:37] amphi: I've corrected some of them following guides found on internet [11:37] in ubuntu...k3b if I wanted to burn an mp3 disk to play in a mp3 player would i need to just burn a data disk? [11:37] visik7: cool - did some things then work? [11:38] bkeating, probably not. You could ask on #ubutu-devel if you want more information, though... [11:38] are their any suggestions on where to go for chatting about nvidia? === noirequus is now known as nalioth [11:38] amphi: I don't understand if you are joking or what ? [11:39] visik7: no, I'm interested; were you able to correct the dsdt in such a way that you fixed some acpi probs? [11:40] g0dchild: I don't think you can get a true screenshot easily, but you can get all the text there. I don't remember exactly how though [11:40] amphi: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/ here there are almost all info that you need [11:40] <[NP] Tangent> I always love [11:40] <[NP] Tangent> when I have a problem [11:40] <[NP] Tangent> and to solve it [11:40] <[NP] Tangent> I find something that fits exactly my circumstance [11:41] <[NP] Tangent> such as this [11:41] <[NP] Tangent> http://lxer.com/module/newswire/lf/view/55195/ [11:41] how do i rotate a video 90 degrees? [11:41] visik7: thanks; my dsdt seems ok, I was just interested in how much success you had futzing with it [11:41] ubotu, tell [NP] Tangent about enter === Spec is now known as Spec[x] [11:41] <[NP] Tangent> it sends a message? [11:41] topyli, you can do it with mencoder somehow... [11:41] topyli: mplayer can do it manually [11:41] topyli: is this for conversion or just to watch it? [11:42] hyphenated: well eventually i'd like to convert it permanently [11:42] bobbyd: mencoder can probably do it, and mplayer must have a switch for viewing time [11:42] How do i give full permission to a user on my proftpd to a dir, ex /var/www/ - so he can add maps, remove maps, etc [11:42] topyli: try mplayer -vf rotate=1 yourfile.avi [11:43] actually, try 0 1 2 and 3 till it looks right [11:43] so if my livecd dont work, could my install cd possibly work then?? [11:43] topyli, it does, it's simple, cant remember it though [11:43] i have two monitors, under gnome how do i get the second one to act as a second monitor not a clone of the first one.

[11:44] Does anyone here use eclipse? I'm trying to figure out why eclipse-platform-common on my end doesn't contain /usr/bin/eclipse as it should... [11:44] acke> how does it not work ? [11:44] acke, why can't you install ubuntu? [11:45] topyli: press 'o' to switch on-screen display modes in mplayer while it's playing, or use -osdlevel to choose what it displays by default [11:45] How do i give full permission to a user on my proftpd to a dir, ex /var/www/ - so he can create dirs, and access them? etc?

[12:04] Michael`123, youc an also join #arrick to chat as well [12:04] not sure. man chmod should help.... [12:04] Anyway, I was wondering -- I installed Ubuntu, I opted to install GRUB, and yet it doesn't seem to install. No errors, nothing. I tried "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" with a Live CD and it did not work. I quoted a ton of things in this forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1037174#post1037174 -- Any ideas? [12:05] All: im sharing a internet connection from a ubuntu computer and that works , but i was wondering how i can forward ports ? [12:05] arrick, what about for chgrp? what would i type after chgrp and before the folder ? [12:05] mwe, what's the command to give the user "musenftp" access to everything in /var/www/cstrike/ ? Im using proftpd [12:05] sudo chgrp admin -R /blah/blah [12:05] but as root leave out the sudi [12:05] sudo [12:06] !file sharing [12:06] helloo [12:06] !filesharing [12:06] parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, teletubbie [12:06] arrick i cant see the folders [12:06] I have asked in here about 4 or 5 times in the last few days, haven't really gotten any help =\ [12:06] !p2p [12:06] methinks p2p is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PHowTo [12:06] Arrick, who are you talking to ? [12:06] I was hoping someone might be able to help me, I'm having some trouble typing in other languages-- specifically Arabic. [12:06] Michael`123, when it asked you if you wanted to install grub on the mbr what did you tell it? [12:06] Arrick, was that for me ? [12:07] Arrick, I selected "Yes" [12:07] zack go to terminal and type ls [12:07] .. [12:07] then cd to the next step [12:07] then ls [12:07] Old, hang tight k? [12:07] Arrick, It said it was "Running grub-install (hd0)" or something, then it said installation was complete, and I should reboot my computer...GRUB never appears (Note that it did say WinXP was detected) [12:07] arrick i mean in the file browser i can see the folders [12:08] oh ok [12:08] Michael`123: on that screen is wher eyou would choose where grub was to be placed [12:08] Michael`123: rebooting should now give you a grub menu [12:08] gnomefreak, it didnt [12:08] gnomefreak, I have rebooted like 10 times since installing [12:09] hello everyone [12:09] gnomefreak, and I have reinstalled Ubuntu about 3 times, and ran grub-install, as well as that config-grub command or whatever it is [12:09] Michael`123: what if you hit the esc key when grub is supposed to appear [12:09] Michael`123: did you tell it to install grub to the mbr, or a partition? [12:10] gnomefreak, Tried that, but I checked with LiveCD and the grub menu.lst file does not even exist [12:10] does it atleast say grub 1.5 during reboot at any time? [12:10] Michael`123: sry i havent kept along with this through , what loads when u boot ur computer (instead of grub?) [12:10] Michael`123: hmmmmmmmm [12:10] amphi, In the past it always asked me with Debian, but on the Ubuntu installation it just asks "Do you want to install it to the MBR" -- yes or no, it didn't ask whether to install to partition or MBR [12:10] thats strange === Kater` is now known as kater` [12:10] erik_m, Dual boot with WinXP/Ubuntu, WinXP loads, GRUB does not display [12:11] Old, can you join #arrick with your question, these guys got the other two under control [12:11] Michael`123: i think you can get windows to have a boot selector ? might be easier [12:11] Michael`123: and ubuntu was installed after xp? [12:11] gnomefreak, I don't know if I am allowed to refer to it, but I did post on the Ubuntu Forums and I posted a ton of extra information and config files, etc: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1037174#post1037174 [12:11] gnomefreak, Correct [12:11] Michael`123: and you told it to install to the mbr? [12:11] amphi, Yes. [12:12] Michael`123: im half attempted to say try installing ubuntu again and place grub on mbr [12:12] michael'123 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-1097.html [12:12] gnomefreak, As noted, I have tried reinstalling Ubuntu to make sure I didn't miss something 3 times, but to no avail. All it says is "Ubuntu detected another operating system: Windows XP......Would you like to install GRUB to the MBR?" (Yes or no), and every time I select YES [12:13] Michael`123 altering the windows xp boot menu isnt a prefered method but might be alot easier , xp realy doesnt want to give up booting lol [12:13] Michael`123: and what happens when you boot? [12:13] Can anyone help me with alsa? [12:13] amphi, WinXP just loads, esc key doesn't help at all [12:13] finally got mp3 playing [12:13] :) [12:14] erik_m, Sorry, forgot to respond to your message. I haven't ever used that, always have used GRUB/LILO [12:14] Michael`123: you don't have some 'anti-virus' write protect the mbr thing on in the bios? some bioses have such a thing [12:14] maybe bad iso? [12:14] hi dudes === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [12:14] is dapper stable? [12:14] Michael`123 : might be worth a shot instead ? [12:14] gnomefreak, It is off the disk that you can get Ubuntu to mail you [12:15] amphi, I can't remember if I have ever gotten a dual boot set up on this new machine...that's possible [12:15] Michael`123: that doesnt mean that the md5sum is good [12:15] erik_m, Eh, I suppose I could look into that [12:15] Can the chip be changed in alsamixer??? [12:16] gnomefreak, But what are the chances of Ubuntu mailing out thousands of invalid distros? [12:16] Michael`123: might be worth a look; it's odd that grub seems to completely fail to write to the mbr [12:17] Michael'123 I had issues w/ my Ubuntu CD from ShipIT as well, and after searching the forums, it seems many others did as well [12:17] amphi, grub-install just says: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda [12:17] Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. [12:17] /dev/mapper/casper-snapshot does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

I have a burned CD I could try too [12:18] !grub [12:18] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting [12:19] maybe that will help? [12:19] michael'123 I'd make sure you burn a extremely low speed. I burned mine @ 4x [12:19] gnomefreak, Been to the first link, second isn't really relevant, the third might be helpful [12:19] mysta, Why is that? [12:20] bad sectors, and corrupt data if you burn @ higher speeds [12:20] Michael`123: it wont burn right at a high speed safest to go with lowest [12:21] Oh, I see. Alright, thanks everyone! I don't see my error from grub-install on that one page. I will try downloading the distro, installing, and if that doesn't work I will look into the BIOS, and then I will try the WinXP dual boot thing [12:21] Thanks again! [12:21] is there anything similar to autocad available for linux [12:21] good luck [12:21] mysta, Thanks :) [12:22] hi, how can i change the time of the system ( im using xubuntu without installing gnome) [12:22] hello :) [12:22] chopchop_, does sudo time-admin work in terminal?

What could be wrong? [12:33] aqui1a: nothing is listening bt default [12:34] Madpilot: hehe...ooops :P [12:34] s/bt/by [12:34] gnomefreak, it's a dynamic IP, remember? Not likely to block the original target... [12:34] ah good point sorry [12:34] well, can you recommend a good firewall? :) [12:34] aqui1a, firestarter [12:34] got to love isps love of dynamic ips :) [12:34] aqui1a: firestarter is good for setting it up [12:35] does anyone know how to make smaller the panel where i got the ubuntu menu? i can't make it smaller than 24px... [12:35] is there a cli alternative to firestarter ? [12:35] erik_m, yeah, it makes banjumping stupidly easy, though... [12:35] Madkiss: oops sorry didn't see your answer :) [12:36] miranda82: that's about as small as it gets, ubfortunately [12:36] sorry, but is it in package manager, or do i download from a site? [12:36] thoreauputic, no way to make it smaller? it's way too big... [12:36] miranda82: not that I know of [12:36] a folder i have had a little picture of a padlock on it, i assumed that means its locked? how do i remove that to make it unlocked? [12:36] I'm still getting that error [12:36] lintransset.so not found [12:36] thoreauputic, don't know why they've done that... [12:36] but transset is installed [12:36] miranda82: you can make the panel "autohide" [12:37] mappilot also makes running a small ftp really hard lol :@ [12:37] thoreauputic, that is not what i want, i want to see it [12:37] but.. [12:37] smaller [12:37] miranda82: I understand - but gnome won't do it as far as I know [12:37] thoreauputic, u think it coudl be cause of the ubuntu logo? [12:37] miranda82: I've tried too [12:37] a folder i have had a little picture of a padlock on it, i assumed that means its locked? how do i remove that to make it unlocked? === beyond is now known as beyond-coffee [12:38] thoreauputic, it is the logo.. [12:38] thoreauputic, :D [12:38] miranda82: no, it's a gnome thing [12:38] miranda82: not an ubuntu thing [12:38] miranda82: ? [12:38] miranda82: try a high resolution?

What could be wrong? [12:43] The installer had no problem picking up DHCP.

I always just use Firestarter... [12:46] how do I install a tar.gz file [12:46] erik_m: netfilter.org has the definitive docs [12:46] zack: chmod. chown [12:46] zack: you might also try 'gksudo nautilus' [12:46] what is chown?

It'll explain itself. Try the same with 'man chmod' [12:47] cubikdice, you are gay, like anal sex with other men [12:47] thats mean [12:47] MENDIGO: you are using the xv driver? if not [sure] , try mplayer -vo xv dvd://[n] [12:47] sh3l1, your like...12?

[12:51] amphi: for that you need to have a receding chin and a plum in your mouth, do you not ? ;-) [12:51] !b-e [12:51] or if you get errors saying gcc cannot create executables, or that you can't find header files like stdio.h, or get "make: command not found, then you need to do a sudo apt-get install build-essential. [12:51] amphi, 'd have to cut it off [12:51] oh thanks [12:51] sorry, I am a newb on this chan [12:51] scottt106: did you see that? [12:51] Xbox_guru: lspci doesn't mention it?

[12:52] oh, wonderful, guess I came at the right time [12:52] MENDIGO: type 'eject' perhaps - or is it mounted? [12:52] thanks :) [12:52] amphi, eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument [12:52] MENDIGO: actually, eject should unmount it anyway [12:52] are there any IRC masters in here? [12:52] i speak no german [12:52] MENDIGO: mplayer is running? [12:52] other than bier [12:52] amphi: lspci shows it as Cirrus Logic CS 4610/11 [12:53] evoldoer: try same-gnome -- cures insomnia ;) [12:53] but its not in a slot [12:53] Xbox_guru: no matter - it's on the pci bus [12:53] robots does that for me [12:53] amphi, no [12:53] I'm tryin to get the Diablo bot to work. [12:53] music tip: rocket.fm [12:53] what would i type after chown ? before the folder [12:53] amphi, I tried what I thought the modules for it were and come up with nothing [12:53] Xbox_guru: I'm on a laptop, and have loads of pci devices and nary a slot to be seen (apart from cardbus) [12:53] evoldoer: that's a very important word that will open many doors for you. [12:53] and I'm struggling with the first task of verifieing that I have the perl stuff. [12:54] brb [12:54] MENDIGO: you could use lsof to try to see what's using it [12:54] zack: chown -R yourusername:yourusername ( but you might need sudo as well) [12:54] MENDIGO: sudo eject do you any good? [12:54] amphi, btw, how do I install a tar.gz file [12:55] Xbox_guru: depends on the file [12:55] i know I have to unpack it but I forget the command to unpack and install [12:55] Xbox_guru: you don't; you unpack it with tar zxvf foo.tar.gz [12:55] Xbox_guru: tar xvzf [12:55] Xbox_guru: and then you read README and INSTALL ;) [12:55] amphi, lsof shows that mplayer is running [12:55] amphi: bah you type faster [12:55] ;) [12:55] heh [12:55] amphi, i killed it, now it worked out =] ] ] === brianpetty is now known as eth0-noob [12:55] amphi, thanks have now installed gallery, now i will test it, nice screenshots on the website [12:55] besides amule and bittorrent what else can i use? [12:56] Marsmensch: cool - never seen it myself ;) [12:56] mutella [12:56] chaos: for bittorent or just P2P [12:56] p2p [12:56] !frostwire [12:56] frostwire is probably a free peer-to-peer application that runs on the Gnutella network. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrostWireHowTo [12:56] amphi: but your using? what to do after install? i need do some config? [12:57] frostwire is java :X [12:57] test [12:57] amphi, =/ now sound is going before video [12:57] i would just stick to bittorrent, most of the other p2ps I've seen are full of crap [12:57] Xbox_guru: ISTR something about lspci mistakenly identifying such cards perhaps [12:57] whats wrong w/ java? [12:57] MENDIGO: you can use + and - to adjust av sync [12:57] hi soundray :) [12:57] Can anybody help me get diablo4.0 to work on X_chat [12:57] yea, torrent owns [12:57] x-Dieu: hi ;) [12:57] MENDIGO: or you could see if mplayer autosync=30 helps [12:57] i wanted a song of crazy town-hurt you so bad but i cant find it anywhere.in amule its there but not enough sources [12:58] MENDIGO: er, mplayer -autosync 30 I mean [12:58] anyone running Dapper on a PowerBook G4 here? [12:58] !anyone [12:58] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [12:58] MENDIGO: if that does it, 'echo autosync=30 >> ~/.mplayer/config' to 'make it so' [12:58] sorry chaos, not my cup of tea [12:58] how do I verify if I have the perl script stuff the diablo requires? [12:58] evoldoer: what? [12:59] can you tell me good torrent sites? [12:59] MENDIGO: man mplayer is there for your delectation, but it's not for the faint-hearted ;) [12:59] evoldoer: all right === _gus_ is now known as _gus [12:59] mininova, piratebay.org are usual stuff [12:59] does anybody know how to get Wine to work on a 64 bit system ? === _gus is now known as _gus_ [12:59] evoldoer: I read "chaps" not "chaos" :) [12:59] chaos_of_apocaly, piracy is offtopic here - thanks. [12:59] libdvdcss2 or libdvdplay0 to playback dvds? [01:00] chaos_of_apocaly, but if you want legal music torrents, have a look at bt.etree.org [01:00] katie_: libdvdcss2 certainlu [01:00] *certainly [01:00] legal=pay=not for me [01:00] mattl, #ubuntu+1 for Dapper questions [01:00] chaos_of_apocaly: this is not #warez [01:00] Where do I look to check if I have the correct perl mods for diablo to work? [01:00] you say piracy i say freedom [01:00] amphi, I found a shell file, should I run the .sh file from the terminal? [01:00] amphi: thanks [01:01] katie_: ask the bot about dvd for more info [01:01] Xbox_guru: I have no idea what you're trying to do [01:01] !nobody [01:01] hawk1: Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/ [01:01] Xbox_guru: there should be some docs in there [01:01] amphi, Install a tar.gz file [01:01] Xbox_guru: could you be more vague? [01:02] I unpackaged it and now what do I do [01:02] !anybody [01:02] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:02] lol [01:02] Xbox_guru: reading the README file is always an idea [01:02] Xbox_guru: I have no idea, I don't know what it is; are there no docs? === dientespodridos is now known as mr_voyainge [01:02] Xbox_guru: awhat are you trying to install? [01:02] How do I find out what perl mods I have installed? [01:02] the readme doesn't tell me how to install it [01:03] hawk1, they are called libperl-something [01:03] redguy: and Xbox media server so I can stream stuff over my network to my xbox [01:03] Xbox_guru: did you look for a ubuntu or debian .deb file already? [01:03] hawk1, sorry mistake [01:03] Xbox_guru: I think you need to drop the part of your nick after the underscore ;) [01:03] thoreauputic: ooh [01:03] no prob. [01:03] Xbox_guru: these are binary packages which are much less hassle to install [01:04] hawk1, they are called libsomething-perl [01:04] Xbox_guru: the .tar.gz you downloaded is most likely a source package which has to be compiled prior to installing [01:04] thoreauputic, no I just need to get better at linux [01:04] Is there a way to open a gtk window without running most of gnome? [01:04] hawk1, try 'apt-cache search perl library' [01:04] good one, I'm on it soundray [01:05] hawk1, lots of output, but you can narrow it down. [01:05] redguy, there is a file in there called "makefile" [01:05] amphi: My fave BOFH answer is to a guy who couldn't configure his mail client "You need to up your IQ afew points - try listening to classical music" ;-) [01:05] eugman: sure, if the prog doesn't link to gnome libs [01:05] thoreauputic: heheh [01:05] where do i install firestarter from? :) [01:05] aqui1a, it's in the repos [01:06] !info firestarter [01:06] firestarter: (gtk program for managing and observing your firewall), section universe/admin, is optional. Version: 1.0.3-1.1ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 384 kB, Installed size: 1904 kB [01:06] !info firestarter [01:06] eugman: ldd /path/to/program will show you shared lib dependencies [01:06] heh [01:06] Xbox_guru: fine, but that doesn't answer my question about the .deb files [01:06] ubotu, offon is Have you tried turning it off and on again? [01:06] soundray: okay [01:06] redguy: I looked and couldn't find any [01:06] reguy, if I did, they would already be installed [01:06] eugman: I still don't understand why /bin/date links to libpthread... [01:06] ubotu: forget offon [01:06] i forgot offon, soundray [01:07] Xbox_guru: well then you have to compile the package [01:07] !tell Xbox_guru about compiling [01:07] how do I run the makefile [01:07] if by repos, you mean 'Adept', i cant see it :( [01:07] Xbox_guru: read the wiki link ubotu sent you [01:07] !tell aqui1a about repos [01:08] It doesn't look like it . Is there a way to run a program requiring x wituout starting up my gui? I want to run it with very high performance. It's a game. [01:08] aqui1a, it's in Universe - you might need to enable the Universe/Multiverse repo [01:08] ubotu, tell aqui1a about universe [01:08] if I want to shutdown and restart my machine, is "sudo shutdown -r now" the right command? [01:08] Mysta_: yes [01:08] do you have that for kubuntu? [01:09] Mysta_: just sudo reboot will do it too [01:09] how do I remove something that isn't in synaptec? [01:09] Xbox_guru: when it comes to installing, use checkinstall as suggested. It will ease the removal of the package when you decide that you don't want it anymore [01:09] aqui1a, see the URL the bot gave you - Kubuntu info is at the bottom of that page, I think [01:09] UKMatt: like in "something you compiled by yourself" ? [01:09] ah, i see, thanks :$ [01:09] redguy, yeah... [01:09] eugman: you can start it from a remote machine with a x server [01:09] thereauputic: hmm, should I be able to login to my X session via VNC afterwards? right now I have to login locally and then i can VNC to the box? [01:10] Hmmm, I might try that sometime. [01:10] eugman: a program requiring X, er, requires X - you could use a light wm instead of gnome [01:10] redguy, someone had me run something, i forget the format but it was just like an .exe, it installed a game and i'm not sure how to take it off [01:10] hello [01:11] hello Ubuntu community, could anyone spend a little time and point me in the right direction for installing the new 686 kernel? [01:11] well it just requires the x libraries, on our compute servers and clusters we don't have x servers running [01:11] Mysta_: not sure - tightVNC keeps your session alive but I don't know about it with a reboot [01:11] hello [01:11] thoreauputic: thanx [01:11] UKMatt: that's not a trivial task [01:11] !hi [01:11] My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Arrick [01:11] hurax: yeah, if he's runnning it over the network [01:11] redguy, any clue how I can figure it out? [01:11] cubikdice: sudo apt-get install linux-686 [01:11] thoreauputic, thank you [01:12] UKMatt: well you could check what files the .bin file created, in a chroot for example [01:12] cubikdice: yw :) [01:12] Ubotu has a cat? Interesting... [01:12] Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, eugman [01:12] UKMatt: by running the bin file again in a chroot that is [01:12] ubotu is a liar [01:12] Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, redguy [01:13] hey guys, have any of you worked with fonts in linux [01:13] Somebody should make an overkill server for ubuntu users. [01:13] !anyone [01:13] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:13] i downloaded a bunch of fonts through apt-get , do i have to do something special to isntall them [01:13] redguy, no clue what you're saying [01:13] !botabuse [01:13] You can play with me in /msg or #debian-bots without being banned. [01:13] I'm finally getting amarok to really work for me, I have about 500 mp3s on my machine, can I normalize them in amarok or how would you recomend normalizing (batch) mp3s? [01:13] azurehuesofblue: sox perhaps [01:14] ok [01:14] 554 kb/s off the repos :) nice [01:14] what file system should i use, i want a reliable one, ext3 or reiserfs? [01:14] UKMatt: like I said, it's not trivial. You could run the file that installed the game in a chroot and see what files were created by the installer. [01:14] anyone here use fluxbox? [01:14] hey all, can i get some help setting up nvidia for twinview?

[02:07] there's no way for me to save only the session states that I want to save [02:08] and therefore no way to save a default session setup [02:08] Aqua, I think you need the JRE package, not the JDK - jdk is the development/programmers kit [02:08] hello [02:08] Aqua: ./jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin if it's already executeable [02:08] acuster, are you running Dapper or breezy [02:08] ? [02:08] hello [02:08] compiz.real: Couldn't load plugin 'libtransset.so' [02:08] dapper [02:08] any idea? [02:08] Aqua, exact URL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#head-fabecb1554d75cd3116507e4da83335d4e4f8f3e [02:09] why doesn't some SiS cards have opengl support? [02:09] acuster, Dapper has the f'd up looking giant logout screen, right? With no 'save session' checkbox... [02:09] hey! does anyone know where to set display hotkeys? [02:09] yeah [02:09] the dialog that's always beneath all the other windows [02:09] how can i change what resolution options I have for X? [02:10] must be metacity "remembering" it was open before [02:10] okay, now I have jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin [02:10] acuster, fun. File a bug on it at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs [02:10] do hotkeys exits in ubuntu? [02:10] Madpilot: for the session management or the logout dialog or both? [02:11] Madpilot: I can't imagine the developers don't know about that [02:11] acuster, either or both - but search lp for bugs before you file a new one [02:11] it's much more likely to be cruft in my home directory [02:11] how can i change what resolution options I have for X? [02:11] If you want to listen to radio station or watch Internet TV what app is the one to use [02:11] hola cual es el canal en espaol, por favor? [02:11] harrisonk,-> sudo dpkg-reconfigure x-server-xorg [02:12] Aqua, see the long URL I posted above, it'll walk you thru installing Java thru the Terminal [02:12] !es [02:12] Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda. [02:12] gracias amigo [02:12] ubuntuneil, thats exactly the command i was lookin for, thanks [02:13] Aqua, after you do the install, be sure and scroll down to the "Selecting the default Java version" section below it and do that too [02:13] apt get told me to look at the syslog. where is the syslog? [02:13] Yes I did, But I keep getting stuck, it keeps telling me "No such file or directory" [02:13] where is logging done that would give a clue why network connections aren't able to connect anymore but can still log into the box locallly? [02:13] Aqua, what does? [02:13] !dapper [02:13] **** News Flash **** Dapper has its own channel #ubuntu+1 please join there for dapper (the beta of the next release) configuration, install, or other conversation, dapper will be in #ubuntu starting 1st of june :-) But not until than [02:13] ./chmod +x jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin [02:13] hey everybody [02:14] i got a question [02:14] i'm using ubuntu... and i was wondering what the best torrent program was [02:14] and how to get it [02:14] Aqua, where did you save the bin file? === Guest25394 is now known as leonardootto [02:14] desktop [02:14] hello i need help finding a way to conect to yahoo chat with ubuntu [02:14] Aqua, OK. Start with "cd Desktop", then the chmod command [02:14] bodog: i like azureus. [02:14] uh oh [02:14] eatingtheproverb: gaim [02:14] Package `x-server-xorg' is not installed and no info is available. [02:14] so... "cd desktop" chmod +x blah blah blah? [02:14] ok were do i get it [02:14] i don't know if it is the best but i like it. [02:15] someone willing to help with xgl ( ubuntu-xgl is dead..) [02:15] eatingtheproverb, it should already be installed - Applications -> Internet -> Gaim [02:15] dust: is there a way to unblock ports in azureus? [02:15] I followed the XglHowto and gset-compiz did want to install so I added the sources from the xglati howto for compiz and xgl and it all installed nice [02:15] I entered to my gnome and the 3d works and the cube is ok [02:15] but the window border deisapeer and all the windows look fuzzyy in way I cant see nothing in the menus [02:15] I am using nvidia-glx drivers and it works nice the 3d works but I dont know why I have this other problem [02:15] how is the future ubuntu stable going? [02:16] its not l_r [02:16] dust: coz i dont know how to use different ports on bittorrent... and the torrent i'm using blacklists port 6882 [02:16] ok, do you need some help? [02:16] you can pick specific ports but i don't know exactly what you mean by unblock [02:16] well, "unblock": isn't the right term to use i guess [02:16] l_r: on schedule for June 1 release afaik [02:16] l_r, the next stable release of Ubuntu is coming out on June 1st, if that's what you wanted to know [02:17] to 'unblock' ports you would have to change settings in your firewall [02:17] yeah.. unblock is the wrong word [02:17] i meant... use a different port other than 6882 [02:17] Okay, so I did the desktop part.. and then I did the chmod, and it just goes down to the next line like it didn't do anything [02:17] Aqua, that's fine. Keep going w/ the next command now. [02:17] harrisonk,-> try this sorry for the typo erro -->sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:18] what's the package that has the devel tools like make and libtool, and gcc and all that jazz? [02:18] binutils and glibc, etc [02:18] sudo aptitude install fakeroot java-package java-common then? [02:18] Aqua, in the command line, Linux tends to fail noisily, but succeed silently [02:18] i believe that bittorrent uses a whole range of ports from 4000-8000 or something at (near) random [02:18] Aqua, yes [02:18] coz the one crazy port is blacklisted for some odd reason [02:18] kelvie, build-essential [02:18] but azureus you can pick your port in the options [02:18] Madpilot: thank you, sir [02:18] thx brotha [02:19] Madpilot: thanks [02:19] bodog: no problem [02:19] couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "java-package [02:19] then it installed a fakeroot [02:20] okay so back to hotkeys-- does anyone know where to set display hotkeys? [02:20] Aqua, you probably need to enable Universe/Multiverse repos [02:20] ubotu, tell Aqua about multiverse [02:20] what would be the best log files to look into to see what caused remote connections to stop working though the box is still running and can log into it locally? [02:21] hello? [02:21] hi MrTaint [02:21] wats up [02:21] how do i register my name once and for all? [02:22] !tell MrTaint about register [02:22] MrTaint, you can also put your freenode password in your IRC app's settings, so it give the pw automatically on login [02:23] oh ok [02:27] hi [02:28] do i need to 'refresh' a panel for updates to be shown? [02:28] e.g in ubuntu, killall gnome-panel [02:28] << using kubuntu [02:29] you don't, no [02:29] aqui1a: #kubuntu is good for kde-related help :) [02:29] how do I get some codecs to totem? [02:29] hmmm i tried gallery now, doesn't really impress me much. :-/ [02:29] miro_: /msg ubotu restrictedformats [02:30] Marsmensch: yeah, it's not great. Use flickr 8) [02:30] I tried to install Ubuntu this weekend and it failed on the installing base system step, but the MD5 of the image I DLed checks out, any ideas? [02:30] all of a sudden am getting choppy sound after latest update,.. any ideas on that? [02:31] hola [02:31] !es [02:31] Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda. [02:31] linux_newbie2: sometimes the burning media is crap,.. try to burn at lower speeds and diferent media brand [02:31] gracias [02:31] hola miro_ [02:31] I quit :P [02:32] I'm just gonna go back to windows ME [02:32] hola aqua [02:32] apokryphos: flickr? never heard about it? at the moment i use a shellscript, creating thumbnails and html code for me ... thought php would be nicer ... but it's also harder [02:32] Ophiocus: the weird thing is, I tried an edubuntu CD I had used successfully on a different machine and that one failed too O_O [02:32] hola [02:32] hello [02:32] hiya [02:32] i dont' have the patience for linux :( [02:32] I'm going back to windows [02:32] then you may be having hardware issues [02:33] Marsmensch: shellscript might be good practice for bash :P, but there are already some decent enough simplistic HTML converters out there (Konqueror has an option, Digikam too) [02:33] Later guys, thanks for all the help [02:33] apokryphos: you have some scrennshoots or something? [02:33] Marsmensch: http://flickr.com is flickr, by the way [02:33] Can someone help me fix this problem when I am just doing work Linux seems to "crash" and it goes to the log in screen and i can login and stuff but its happening very often now 3 times in the last 10 mins [02:33] Ophiocus: that was my thought, although I have never had a problem with this DVD drive in the past [02:33] Does anyone know if the new Ubuntu is going to support Gnome 2.14 [02:34] Ophiocus: would it get hung up if there were bad sectors in the area on the HD where I am attempting to install? this is a laptop [02:34] I am new to ubuntu and it seemed that Fedora core was a bit fast in the gnome aspect [02:34] nathansnook, ask in #ubuntu+1 [02:34] apokryphos: yeah, you know the google prog to create websites? i have used shellscript to create so looking code ;) [02:34] Marsmensch: erm, I guess I could take one now [02:34] Thankz [02:34] Marsmensch: yeah, good for your grandma, bad for anyone who knwos about html/css :P [02:35] why you think so? [02:35] not a huge array of options really, eh [02:36] Ophiocus: alternatively, I know Debian can be installed from a pair of floppies, does Ubuntu have that option? [02:36] Marsmensch: http://giannaros.org/hmlgallery.png [02:36] yes [02:36] nathansnook: yes. http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/dapperbeta [02:36] i aint got the specific url,.. go to the main site and follow the how to get ubuntu trail [02:36] Marsmensch: dang, wrong image [02:37] apokryphos: yes, i have seen ;) [02:37] what channel of ubuntu in Brazil? Please [02:37] linux_newbie2: no, ubunt doesn't have a floppy install [02:37] !br [02:37] Por favor use #ubuntu-br (/j #ubuntu-br) para ajuda em portugues. Obrigada. [02:37] Marsmensch: http://giannaros.org/htmlgallery.png [02:37] Marsmensch: of course the basics there are configurable. Digikam has a few more options though, you can have galleries like: http://www.omat.nl/drupal/?q=node/75 [02:37] ok streamlink was working on one site then i uninstalled the totem from the mplayer folder now it doesnt work [02:38] Marsmensch: not greatly beautiful, of course; but simplistic and very quickly generated. [02:38] now both sites want me to download mp10 [02:38] where are logs that would indicate what are possible problems from logging in remotely? [02:38] defeated by the bug system :-( [02:38] hmm, looks very nice ... a bit like my one ;) what do you think about it? [02:38] Drake_: all logs are in /var/log you might try auth.log [02:38] disinterseted_pe: sety a new default plyer for streams [02:39] Marsmensch: the html gallery? [02:39] ok do u have working stream? [02:40] nice, of course, though these days I'd probably only use flickr. It's really great. [02:40] Flannel: ok thanks wasn't sure if dmesg would show anything or if it would be somewhere else. I can connect and it works fine for days and then it fails when I try to log in several days later [02:41] apokryphos: 2 more questions: can you say something about the size of the prog? and second, how to use it? is it like a prog or more like a webinterface?? yeah the html gallery ... contains also css ;-) [02:41] im just asking to know which player ur useing [02:41] state the problem please. Thank you [02:41] Marsmensch: the first one I showed you a screeny from is just an option in konqueror. Tools > Create Image Gallery [02:42] I doubt nautilus has anything similar [02:42] but hey [02:42] yes? [02:42] Q: How do I find my IP Address??? [02:42] ifconfig will tell you your internal ip address [02:42] bodog: external? whatismyip.com === Omnipresent is now known as Pimpshizzled [02:42] bodog: the most reliable and hardware free method is http://whatismyip.com [02:43] Marsmensch: Konqueror is KDE's File Manager and Web Browser [02:43] how do i set a default media player [02:43] thank you [02:43] what is a BOF ? [02:43] what about my routed ip ?? [02:43] birds of feather [02:44] Burrito of Fun! [02:44] bodog: you mean your LAN IP? or what? === dreamthief is now known as dreamthief|away [02:44] yeah lan ip [02:44] bodog: use ifconfig [02:45] thanks! [02:45] i know, apokryphos .... i will give it, a try; first of all i have to delete gallery [02:46] Marsmensch: digikam has an option too, though; it's available in the repositories [02:46] howdy [02:46] though not sure if it has the latest looks as the second link above [02:46] hi siriusnova [02:46] heh im using Suse 10.1 atm :X [02:46] me too 8) [02:46] Yast is sooo slow [02:46] im switching back to ubuntu [02:46] yup, yast sucks in 10.1. Smart is the shiznit though [02:47] what's smart? [02:47] Hey, I'm currently logged in recovery mode. I tried upgrading to dapper and a lot of things went terribly wrong. Is there a way to get to the Ubuntu installation program without the CD? [02:47] siriusnova: /msg susehelp smart [02:47] :\ [02:47] hrmm okay [02:47] which, ironically, canonical is sponsoring the development of ;-) [02:47] hehe [02:48] there are a few thoughts of using it in edgy (dapper+1) [02:48] but really Yast is SLOW and takes forever to configure simple things, ugh, Suse needs to ditch rpm entirely [02:48] siriusnova: it's got nothing to do with RPM and all to do with the new zmd backend [02:48] but it all needs a os, and a lot of user interaction ... hmmm ... let me see, i use dapper, [02:48] which just wasn't fully implemented properly [02:48] >.> [02:48] also, I presume you mean "yast installer", not just yast. [02:48] Is anyone here familiar with the Terminal Server Client, for using a remote desktop, and how to get sound working? [02:48] Yeah, any suggestions would be appreciated. [02:49] As much as commandline rocks for personal computing. [02:49] cin: you have a real question? [02:49] hi all [02:49] hi [02:49] apokryphos - yeah probably, and I mean yast in general. Configuring stuff takes ages and its just slow and clunky. I like Ubuntu's way of doing things. Not have one big convoluted slow app do everything but have small fast apps :X [02:49] Flannel: I considered it to be "real", why? [02:50] siriusnova: curious, I've never noticed any slack in the rest of yast. Needless to say, if it was slow, I'd rather have it there than not at all ;-) [02:50] how i can know from what package a file come from ??? (for example /etc/init.d/NetworkManager file) [02:50] Flannel, you deemed my question "not real" so you can't help me? Fantastic. [02:50] siriusnova: though I love Ubuntu, there's no distro (including Ubuntu) that has anything as great as yast [02:50] it's quite amazing; and all free (as in liberty) now too =) [02:50] I really would search Google instead of asking for abuse in here, but, it's not the easiest thing to search for. [02:50] what package contains saslauthd? [02:50] I am using Terminal Server Client. I am connecting to a Windows 2003 Server. The server does not have a sound card built in. My computer does have a sound card. I am trying to run a Windows Application throught he Terminal Server Client, and hear the sounds on my computer. How do i do this? [02:51] cin: what's the problem? [02:51] can someone tell me where to get the non-us sources list please [02:51] brb rebooting into ubuntu [02:51] daryl_: does Terminal SErver do sound forwarding? [02:51] Flannel: it says it does [02:51] open_shell: just replace all "us." in /etc/apt/sources.list [02:51] daryl_: fair enough ;) [02:52] Replace wiht what? [02:52] apokryphos: I attempted an upgrade with apt-get and rebooted to find that my startup crashes, and a lot of programs are missing. I don't know enough to fix this myself. So I was wondering if there is a way to get to the Ubuntu installation disk to "reset" all the settings or something. [02:52] cin: no. I just didn't SEE a question at all. [02:52] Flannel, oh, your mistake. :) [02:52] cin: are you on breezy? [02:52] Flannel: under the "Local Resources" tab, I have 'On the local Computer' selected for sound. but it doesn't play it. I'm wondering if my server has to hvae a sound card... dunno what the problem is. [02:52] apokryphos: yeah. [02:52] cin: what programs are missing? [02:53] apokryphos, probably... I don't expect the dapper upgrade went too well. [02:53] apokryphos: vi. [02:53] apokryphos: essential things like that. [02:53] cin: so you are on dapper ;) [02:53] apokryphos: Dapper doesn't have vi?/ [02:53] no [02:53] vim [02:53] Oh. [02:53] it should have an alias of vi to vim though. [02:53] hi, can anyone tell me where the longhaul module gets loaded from on boot? [02:54] Normal startup crashes nearly every program and I can only get on on safe mode at present. :| [02:54] cin: #ubuntu+1 [02:54] apokryphos, righto, thanks. [02:54] it doesnt appear in /etc/modules and i think its part of the hardware detection [02:55] how can i upgrade to dapper from breezy? [02:55] !upgrade [02:55] upgrade is, like, Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades . Note command line: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the bleeding edge. [02:55] friends, i need some assistance [02:55] i accidentally formatted a hard drive. is there any linux tool for unformatting? [02:56] feetboy16, maybe you could find your data in the heaven [02:56] you know how there's two ways for linux to keep track of time? [02:57] one is unix time i think, and the other is harmonious with windows [02:57] ntp? [02:57] i need to switch from unix time to the windows one [02:57] hey i want to install a webserver, how can i do this? [02:57] every time i boot windows, my clock is several days off [02:57] 1970.. [02:57] eddiestone: ??? [02:57] Anyone know how to troubleshoot sound problems with Terminal Server Client? [02:57] vars, look into the apache packages [02:57] in synaptic [02:58] greetings [02:58] feetboy16: odds are all the inodes for your data is gone, so you'll have to take a raw dump of the data and do what you can with it [02:58] frantic: you need to set the right timezone [02:58] vars: sudo apt-get install apache2 [02:58] alright [02:58] frantic: then you also need to sync the hardware clock [02:58] ok i see [02:58] thanks [02:58] hi, can anyone tell me where the longhaul module gets loaded from on boot? [02:58] ok, but how [02:59] Has anyone setup apache2 on ubuntu? [02:59] it's a bad idea to sync the hardware clock by default I yhink [02:59] frantic - how well do you know the console..... i suspect not well.... [02:59] quite well [02:59] i've just never had htis problem [02:59] frantic - ah, good. [02:59] frantic - i have, recently learned how to fix it :) [03:00] excellent [03:00] -_-; [03:00] can someone tell me why /media/usbdisk/ does not work on the ubuntu-server install? [03:00] frantic - heh, one sec, let me double-check before i tell you the wrong info [03:01] vars: yes === somegeek_ is now known as somegeek [03:01] frantic - btw, it also has to do with UTC [03:01] bimberi, you are my new friend [03:01] how do i get my volume to work from the keyboard? [03:02] frantic - cat your /etc/timezone once [03:02] is it right? [03:02] disinterseted_pe: set keyboard shortcuts for them - System -> Preferences [03:02] yes [03:02] bimberi, i just installed hoary -server all i need to do is host a 170 mb webpage [03:02] frantic - do hwclock --show [03:02] Mon 22 May 2006 08:02:50 PM CDT -0.218684 seconds [03:03] i don't care about security i just want to open up the ports and letter rip [03:03] which is correct [03:03] same zone as me :) [03:03] ok it says volume down 0xae [03:03] woot, central reprezent [03:03] SiS sucks! [03:03] what do i set it to? [03:03] vars: ok, have you installed the ubuntu package for apache2? [03:03] SiS sucks! [03:03] yes [03:04] what else do i need? [03:04] can someone tell me why /media/usbdisk/ does not work on the ubuntu-server install? [03:05] frantic - it SHOULD be as simple as editing /etc/default/rcS [03:05] change UTC=yes to YTC=no [03:05] vars: nothing much really, create /var/www/index.html and you should be right [03:05] bimberi ? [03:06] and, i must also appologize, i recently learned how to sync HW clock to linux clock, no get the windows time right..... [03:06] hey all [03:06] you will need to restart the hwclock.sh script [03:06] well... we've got the time zone right [03:06] ok lets try it [03:06] frantic - sudo /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh restart [03:06] jadaz87: can you mount it? [03:06] i'm gonna try it myself actually [03:06] disinterseted_pe: click on the line and set your own shortcut (eg. alt-up) [03:07] uhhh i guess it worked [03:07] although, i'll need to reboot to windows to make sure :) [03:07] disinterseted_pe: ...by hitting the key sequence [03:07] frantic - you gonna reboot or no? [03:07] sooo, windows sets its clock to GMT and linux doesn't? [03:08] hi there :-) [03:08] i thought so [03:08] nah, i'm in the middle of a apt-get dist-upgrade [03:08] does anybody know how I can copy files from my windows partition to linux in ubuntu? [03:08] i did and it moves the bar but it doesnt turn the volume up or down [03:08] all good. i'm staying here, i use windows about once every 2 months for something trivial [03:08] no need to reboot, or have the right time [03:08] I downloaded ntfsprogs package, but ntfsmount wasn't included [03:08] yeah [03:08] i wish i could never use windows again [03:08] but, i fancy myself a musician [03:09] but yeah, I thought there was soemthing with the way linux compensates for using UTC/GMT [03:09] and there are some very nice vst instruments that i'd really miss [03:09] odin_, just copy and paste [03:09] yeah, my friend recently got a mac for that reason. all the pleasure of linux with the wsupport of windows :) [03:09] ahhh, but the business world requires windows, its a necessary evil, and if it always worked and was secure alot of people would be out of jobs [03:09] !ntfs [03:09] ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows NT and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions there is no write support for ntfs that is safe. [03:09] odin_, ^^ [03:09] if linux doesn't have the tools i want by the time i'm ready to replace this computer, i'll probably defect back to macs too [03:09] if the time is still messed up, sorry, but i think that'll fix it [03:10] Arrick: how can I access my windows partition from linux? they're on the same hard drive [03:10] disinterseted_pe: it works on the master volume - check by double-clicking on the volume applet to open the control [03:10] Im a %60 os X user %30 linux user %10 windows user [03:10] buut i'm a computer scientist and leaving linux would kind of bum me out too [03:10] disinterseted_pe: (for me anyway) [03:10] Arrick: ooo, a link [03:10] warrock will be launched [03:11] mmm [03:11] where do i find the applet? [03:11] i just like how well linux works, especially ubuntu [03:11] it's as close to using a mac as I can get on a PC.... [03:11] :) [03:11] it's so easy because if it ever breaks, it's because of something i just did [03:11] Linux is wonderful, d33t :) [03:11] and usually i can go right back to those config files and undo it [03:11] good as new [03:11] exactly [03:12] I've messed up things I couldn't fix, but I'm no expert on Linux [03:12] and except for the time the caps on my mobo all blew up, I've never had it crash on me, unless I did something stupid to make it crash [03:12] i think the general mass of people are scared away by the initial shock of the difference (the command line terrifies alot of guys i know), but this is a discussion for offtopic. === jhenn_ is now known as jhenn === ubuntu is now known as liuwei [03:12] true, true [03:12] wizzlefish, i think you'll learn to cover your ass soon enough [03:12] I think the general mass of people are scared away by monospaced fonts in the terminal [03:12] XD [03:12] lol [03:13] anyway, i came here for a reason..... i currently have a box running ubuntu with software RAID5..... 4 drives on the array [03:13] I eventually got used to monospace [03:13] anyone know if i can move the array to another machine? [03:13] I like my green on black sorta transparent terms in linux and osx [03:13] ooh! I want transparency! [03:13] I use eterm mostly [03:13] its easy [03:13] haha, you could certainly try [03:14] i used to use eterm in gentoo for the sole reson of transparency.... [03:14] disinterseted_pe: the speaker (near the clock) at top right [03:14] i'd like to get XGL going some time soon too, but my nVidia card is a little old [03:14] I dont like the staight to the desktop style transparency though [03:15] where is the best place to learn what the kernel options mean if I want to try and build a custom kernel? [03:15] Do you just want faster support for your hardware? [03:15] benkong2 - the info you see during make menuconfig shoudl help a lot [03:15] installing xgl is actually pretty easy [03:16] do you run dapper drake? [03:16] do you guys use a firefox extention to switch proxies? [03:16] d33t, ok thanks [03:16] frantic - so i'm told, i just haven't done it. i heard the older GeForce cards were a bit of a pain though [03:16] hi [03:16] oi, I've this 80 gig drive and a Toshiba M35-S456. I'm trying to install grub. The laptop had lilo on it, but I'm really trying to get grub on this time. menu.lst does exist and points to (hd0,0). When I try booting it just says "GRUB" and sits there at boot [03:16] hmm [03:16] switchproxy seems to really slow down firefox fo rme [03:16] i dunno, maybe [03:16] T - that's the one i use [03:16] hey guys [03:16] I've always had this problem with just how ubuntu is installing grub [03:16] If I want to setup dual-head, is there a front-end or I must edit xorg.conf directly? [03:16] in the past.. I remember fedora working [03:16] haha [03:16] d33t, but thats really slwoing down.. new window opens take like 10-15 secs [03:16] tsume [03:16] so what is the problem with ubuntu's grub? [03:16] can anyone help me with a cedega problem? [03:16] i've had that problem [03:16] do you need to know how to fix it? [03:17] Me? [03:17] T - i never had that happen, seems odd. sure it's not caused by another extension? [03:17] frantic: I don't... :( [03:17] frantic: I had to install lilo. [03:17] ok thanks [03:17] oh [03:17] d33t, hmm.. maybe.. i'll try again then [03:17] frantic: I don't know what ubuntu does, but it does it wrong :( [03:17] well, i don't know what ubuntu's grub deal is [03:17] it's a pain in the ass to repair [03:17] well I pop in the livecd and install lilo :) [03:17] tsume, you aren't using an older abit board with a highpoint controller on it, are you? [03:18] hello? [03:18] you can fix it by booting up the installer cd, getting to the partitioner... [03:18] d33t: hmm, no. Its centrino [03:18] pressing control alt F3 or F2 [03:18] d33t: I don't know what chipset is used on this intel board [03:18] >:| [03:18] tsume - ah. i used to have a problem where grub woudl use the same memory location on the boot sector the the highpoint controller sed, grub always crashed, thought that might be it [03:18] frantic: well I use the livecd for dapper now :) [03:18] cd /dev/long/convoluted/path/to/your/disk/especiallyifyouhaveIDEdrives [03:18] Is anyone gonna help me with my problem? [03:18] oh, you need to mount it [03:18] then chroot to it [03:18] did anyone configured locales in Ubuntu Dapper? [03:19] tsume - it's not highpoint, i'm pretty sure of that.... [03:19] so once I've mounted my windows partition, in order to play a game I just go into xwine and point it to the .exe file for it in that partition? [03:19] then you can use grub-install [03:19] d33t: hmm [03:19] or should I copy it over first? [03:19] and it'll fix it! just like that! [03:19] <_tcc> Hi [03:19] frantic: what? [03:19] i take it theres noway to link the keyboard to volume control? [03:19] tsume - it was an odd case i think. [03:19] <_tcc> I installed madwifi-ng [03:19] frantic: does it work? [03:19] yes, i've done it twice [03:19] <_tcc> How can I be 100% sure I am using madwifi-ng and not madwifi? [03:19] frantic: hmm [03:19] odin: wine "/path/to/exe/program.exe" [03:19] you might have trouble if your boot partition is seperate from / [03:19] is there a list of windows games that work in xwine? [03:19] frantic: they are on the same partition [03:19] frantic: what command did you issue? [03:20] odin http://appdb.winhq.org [03:20] ok, then it should work no problem [03:20] T - looking quick, there is a new extension called "foxyproxy", you try that [03:20] let me find the page where i got the instructions and you can just read that [03:20] <_tcc> I installed madwifi-ng [03:20] <_tcc> How can I be 100% sure I am using madwifi-ng and not madwifi?

Just unload it [03:21] that's not gonna do anything [03:21] frantic: did you install on the MBR or first boot block?

[04:06] Managu: yeah, it's always been pretty 'fire & forget' for me [04:06] <_root> Yeah I know, but I quickly need to set this. [04:06] how can i list the services running in my computer ?? [04:06] okied dokie [04:06] _root: users need to be added to the "wheel" group to be able to sudo and su [04:06] _root, you ideot! get off r00t! [04:06] cocox: network? [04:06] _root: why are you on irc as root? do you have a death wish? 0.o [04:06] _root: yeah wheel would work [04:06] tsume, i messaged it to you [04:07] amphi, yes the services running over my pc ... like samba dun know... [04:07] <_root> I don't have that group. [04:07] <_root> o_O [04:07] sudo cocox: netstat -plunt [04:07] _root: odd.. [04:07] cocox: er, sudo netstat -plunt ;) [04:07] Hello , I installed webmin , and want to remove it but cannot seem to uninstall it [04:07] _root: "man visudo" [04:07] _root: when you type in "uname -a", what do you get? [04:07] <_root> My normal user was running fine, but I could not edit files on USB drives, while trying to access fstab su stopped working. [04:07] _root: admin group for sudo (secondary is fine) [04:07] amphi, thnxxxx :) [04:08] cocox: yw [04:08] <_root> Linux Hotwax 2.6.12-10-k7 #1 Fri Apr 28 13:58:48 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux [04:08] Please check this out, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14505 [04:08] _root, mmkay, just curious [04:09] Taru: looks rather boring. But it's a brilliant comment! [04:09] Taru: what does it mean? [04:09] <_root> I accidentally changed the primary user group for my normal user. [04:09] Managu, My Gnome Terminal will stop working, why? [04:09] man I am freakin' hot [04:09] ASL LOL [04:09] amphi, I am having trouble starting Gnome terminal. [04:09] I am trying to get gdm to show me an xdmcp chooser. I believe I've selected the right gdmsetup options, but I don't see any option to run a chooser at the login screen. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. [04:09] _root: that's usually the group with the same name as the user [04:10] I am so moving to Canada, nice cooling system there [04:10] <_root> I need to know what it was, because unless I add admin as secondary I cannot access sudo or su, but when I do this it does not ask for passwords. [04:10] Taru: you might need to put the %f in single quotes [04:10] sorry, i timed out. anyway to run a program at startup? [04:10] amphi, ok thanks, I will try that. [04:10] frantic: ASLU I think you mean [04:11] <_root> Ok so I made the primary group the same as the user name. What should I have as secondary groups for su and sudo to work? [04:11] uhhh age sex location ubuntuversion? [04:11] amphi, Hmm.. doesn't work. [04:11] works for me i guess! [04:11] amphi, I run the gnome terminal and it disappears seconds after launch. [04:11] frantic: you don't want to know their uptime?? ;) [04:11] haha [04:11] amphi, why when i list the services running in my pc with "nmap 127.0.0.1" i get a different output from doing "netstat -plunt" ???? [04:12] oh haha [04:12] ok, madpilot how do i install mplayerplug in 3.25.tar.gz? [04:12] cocox: I believe nmap is not reliable on the loopback interface, but I could be wrong [04:12] _root: for sudo it needs admin. Use of su isn't group related - just knowledge of the root password [04:12] disinterseted_pe, sorry, how do you do what? [04:13] what is the name of the app to setup printer on ubuntu ? [04:13] how do i install mplayer plugin 3.25.tar.gz? [04:13] <_root> Ok, well, when I tried using su, such as in Admin mode in the system settings it would says "conversation with su failed" [04:13] _root, if you're really running as root while you're connected to the interenet, that's not a good idea.. [04:13] !tell _root about root [04:13] that is in the default gnome setup on ubuntu dapper [04:13] mathieu_: gnome-cups-manager [04:13] disinterseted_pe, do you mean the mplayer plugin for firefox? [04:14] ive got it dled to my desktop [04:14] yes [04:14] amphi, mmmm i m not sure either [04:14] cocox: nmap shows more or less? [04:14] mathieu_: yes, System -> Administration -> Printing [04:14] _root: if you're running Ubuntu, you generally shouldn't have a whole bunch of use for "su". I'd suggest you test getting "sudo" working properly first [04:14] cocox: I'd believe netstat [04:14] <_root> So I need admin as secondary group? [04:14] disinterseted_pe, I think you want the mozilla-mplayer plugin from Ubuntu's repositories (I don't run Firefox, so I'm not actually sure...) [04:15] bimberi: i am not in gnome though, that is why i need the appname [04:15] ok [04:15] _root: yes, your user needs to be in the admin group === blank_ is now known as Griswald [04:15] hey peoples [04:15] anyone good in perl? [04:15] ive installed i think all of them from the depository [04:15] or know of any output lib ? [04:15] someone mentioned gkrellm here. is he/she around? [04:15] well not lib but perl module [04:15] daddius: tried searching CPAN? [04:16] daddius, I think there's a #perl channel [04:16] <_root> Ok thanks. hope this works. :) [04:16] amphi, Any idea how to get my terminal to function normally again? [04:16] i have install slapd and phpldapadmin .. the ldap server is running and i can access the phpldapadmin but i am not abl eto login with admin and the password .. is there anything i can do login [04:16] mathieu_: gnome-cups-manager is the app, kde has something else, otherwise you can enable admin access to the cups web interface ... [04:17] ubotu tell mathieu_ about cupsweb [04:17] frantic: your not identified :) [04:17] hi, my machine stalls for quite a long period at 'configuring network interfaces' on bootup, is this normal? [04:17] frantic: I can't see messages from unidentified users [04:18] jksd: it's symptomatic of a network problem [04:18] oh i see [04:18] im trying to mount a file in my fstab file [04:18] Managu: how do I fix? [04:18] cant get it to work [04:18] jksd: errm depends on the problem [04:18] jksd: yes, for example if it's set to look for a DHCP server and there isn't one available - it will time out - you can interrupt this with CTRL-C [04:18] Managu: how do I diagnose? [04:18] I seem to have my other name logged on, will it automatically log off? [04:18] ah OK [04:18] I'll check my network settings [04:19] uhhhh [04:19] hello [04:19] PASTEBIN [04:19] I have a problem with oss sound [04:19] i added /dev/sda /home/siavash/USB_drive1 rw,user,auto,umask=002 0 0 [04:19] pvd2006, use ghost - /msg nickserv help (and then /msg nickserv help ghost) [04:19] alse and esd works [04:20] amphi, nmap show less.... why should u believe netstat ?? [04:20] but some applications that have only oss suport dont work [04:20] the device /dev/dsp not found [04:20] bimberi: where can I find infos on DHCP? [04:20] who can help me?? === pvd2006_ is now known as pvd2006 [04:21] ah there we go:) thanks [04:21] cocox: netstat tells you how your programs think they're talking to the outside world. nmap tells you how the outside world views you on some interface. If you want to know how someone views you, i.e. over your ethernet card, probing the loopback interface isn't really helpful. [04:22] jksd: System -> Administration -> Preferences - or by editing /etc/network/interfaces - or did you mean documentation? [04:22] tsume??? [04:22] anyone can help with sound configuration ?? [04:22] cocox: and the IP address 127.0.0.1 is bound to the loopback interface [04:22] bimberi: nah I meant turning it off [04:22] i'll have a pastebin link of my cfdisk stuff in a second [04:22] jksd: oops, not Preferences - Networking [04:23] bimberi: I already checked that, I'll try again [04:23] why is it that all of a sudden I can [04:23] jksd: ah, set up a Static IP address in there [04:23] please... I cant see /dev/dsp [04:23] Ok, not logged as root. :) [04:23] 't access my root directories from my user directory? [04:23] frantic: can you paste it to rafb or pastebub?? [04:23] frantic: pastebin [04:23] http://pastebin.com/732352 [04:23] but alse and esd works [04:23] alsa [04:24] i think it's kind of strange that it lists the partitions out of order... [04:24] cfdisk does [04:24] fhmm [04:24] frantic: df ? [04:24] Ok, I am running Kubuntu, but people seem more knowledgable here. ;) When I run things like the updater, in my case Adept, it usually asked me for a pas. now that I added admin as a secondary group, it doesn't ask for one anymore. Same with using Admin mode in the SYSTEM SETTINGS window, etc. [04:24] sure [04:24] one sec [04:25] And sudo in the command prompt doesn;t require a pass either. [04:25] Managu, so what should i test instead my loopback interface to do a good implementation of nmap ?? [04:25] Desh: yes it does ... after the timeout [04:25] cocox: what's your objective? [04:25] Well I just restarted the PC, meaning it should ask the moment I used sudo, but it didn't. [04:26] cocox: because, as I said, nmap is not reliable on localhost AFAIK, and netstat is the canonical tool ;) [04:26] what's the best way to make an application load at startup? === lastnode_ is now known as lastnode [04:26] can or cannot wine play games that were made for win98? [04:26] bimberi: on which device? [04:26] I'm rather confused [04:26] how do i know my default cups username and password ? [04:26] amphi, Managu, mi objetive is to realize why netstat tells me something and nmap another things... :S [04:27] who can help me to setup OSS sound ???? please!!!!! [04:27] hi, is there anybody here who tried to install qtiplot from source? i'm havbing trouble with it... [04:27] cocox: happen to know the ip address your ethernet card has assigned? [04:27] jksd: Ethernet [04:27] cocox: i.e. if you run "ifconfig", what's the ip address corresponding to your ethernet card? [04:27] Managu, my private ip is 192.168.1.2 [04:27] >_< [04:27] cocox: try nmapping that address [04:28] tsume: http://pastebin.com/732356 [04:28] any vpn guru's around? [04:28] Can anyone help me with my sudo/su problem? [04:28] cocox: what is the difference? and why would you use nmap on localhost? [04:28] Desh: what's the problem? [04:28] bimberi: shouldn't it be left as DHCP? [04:29] Managu, amphi, what'd be the difference between 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.2 both refers to my ethernet card isnt it ? [04:29] bimberi: so it grabs whatever it's mean to be? [04:29] bimberi: mean/meant [04:29] cocox: nope [04:29] cocox: it could be that nmap is only seeing things listening on 127.0.0.1, and you have something[s] only listening on external address[es] and not on the loopback [04:29] ok slavik, I accidentaly changed my primary user to sudo, it made my normal user unusable since sudo and su did not work. Now I made my primary user group the same as my username, and added admin in the secondary group because only then would sudo and su work. But now they do not ask for a pass. [04:29] frantic: hmm, maybe I need to create a separate partition for /boot [04:29] bimberi: or is it not actually doing that [04:29] jksd: yes, if that's what you want. I was illustrating one of the reasons for startup pausing on that message :) [04:29] frantic: I'll try again and see what happens :) [04:29] i don't think it's absolutely necessary [04:30] cocox: they're different interaces, as ifconfig will show you [04:30] slavik: Thinks like the updater, system settings, command line, etc do not ask for a pass. [04:30] but you might have better luck if your boot stuff was on a primary partition [04:30] bimberi: so it's not actually an error, it's just taking it's time? [04:30] Hello could someone help me uninstall this webmin, I cant seem to uninstall it [04:30] jksd: what's the nature of your internet connection? [04:30] Managu, amphi, mmm i thought that 127.0.0.1 would give me the same results than 192.168.1.2 [04:30] desh, change all the groups back [04:30] bimberi: eth0 [04:30] cocox: did you try? ;) [04:30] oh, I see [04:30] jksd: to a local router of some sort? [04:30] slavik: problem is I don;t know what they were supposed to be [04:30] Managu, amphi, so for what should i just use the loopback ?? [04:30] bimberi: broadband [04:30] slavik: I changed hem due to a misclick [04:30] anybody good with IPSEC/openwswan? [04:31] Desh: where did you change the primary user? change the primary user back to your user [04:31] Hello could someone help me uninstall this webmin, I cant seem to uninstall it please and thtank you [04:31] please!!!! anyone can help me with OSS ?? [04:31] does the mozilla browser work well? [04:31] slavik: right, it's set as that [04:31] cocox: ifconfig lo down and see what breaks ;) [04:31] cocox: Upshot: understanding TCP/IP, and it's Linux or Unix interfaces, is complicated. Asking for a thorough tutorial in the Ubuntu support channel isn't really the right avenue. Go get a good book on the topic. [04:31] good [04:31] slavik: but unless I add admin as a secondary user sudo will not work [04:31] root should belong to root [04:31] Managu, amphi, yes i try it and now i see that there are some differents ip [04:31] frantic: thansk, I'll play with it [04:31] jksd: hmmk, that probably needs dhcp then. [04:31] slavik: but then I do not get asked for my pass [04:31] frantic: worst off I install lilo :) [04:31] jksd: broadband modem or broadband router? [04:32] hehe yeah [04:32] bimberi: modem [04:32] cocox: if you want a tcp/ip book, Stevens' 'TCP/IP Iluustrated vol. 1' is good [04:32] Managu, amphi, can you plz tell ubotu something ? [04:32] cocox: er, Illustrated [04:32] slavik: and sudo as secondary user group does not make sudo work [04:32] cocox: can't you? what? [04:32] jksd: kk, i wonder how your PC gets it's IP then [04:32] !botsnack [04:32] :) [04:32] Desh: pastebin your /etc/sudoers file [04:33] bimberi: not through DHCP? [04:33] !tell cocox about loopback [04:33] bimberi, jksd: is it possible that there's a built-in ethernet card on jksd's machine that's not being used? [04:34] anyone know where the browser.xul file is kept? [04:34] jksd: are you IRC'ing from the Ubuntu machine? [04:34] nvm [04:34] !tell cocox about 127.0.0.1 [04:34] !tell cocox about tcpip [04:35] Managu, jksd: that's a thought, that would show up in the Networking applet [04:35] yeah, I'm in ubuntu [04:35] slavik: can;t find it... [04:35] cocox: have a look at a networking howto at tldp.org perhaps [04:36] I only have 1 ethernet card though [04:36] /etc/sudoers ??? [04:36] it's a text file [04:36] jksd: if you're connecting through a dial-up modem, and not through the ethernet port, then a delay at the dhcp step isn't too unusual [04:36] cocox: here's summat for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loopback_interface === linuxer is now known as kakadiya [04:37] Managu: ahh, I do have a regular 56k modem on here, it must be that [04:37] jksd: if you're getting a long delay at that step, but everything else works fine, I wouldn't worry about it -- there could be any number of reasons for the delay, none particularly bothersome [04:37] jksd: put the contents of /etc/network/interfaces on the pastebin ... [04:37] slavik: how would I open it? It says I do not have permission. :( [04:37] !paste [04:37] see please [04:37] !pastebin [04:37] Please do not flood the channel http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ for pasting long texts it does not disrupt the channel. [webboard for Ubuntu: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269 : not an offical package] [04:37] !help [04:37] ubotu: pedant [04:37] I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, bimberi [04:37] amphi, Managu thank you so much for be so patient with this noob :) [04:38] cocox: yw [04:38] Managu: I also have a 3G card, it could be that [04:38] bimberi: OK [04:38] Managu, amphi i'll read as much as i can [04:38] how do you uninstall stuff again? [04:38] jksd: Sorry, I don't know what a 3G card is [04:38] cocox: the Stevens book is damn good - you might even find a copy knocking about on the web [04:39] Managu: it's a mobile internet card [04:39] cocox: otherwise, tldp.org has lots of goodies; there's an 'intro to linux' book there, which might be of use [04:40] ubotu: latest release [04:40] Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Bjorn_ [04:40] jksd: ok. That'd have been my guess. What exactly are you using to get internet access right now? Dial-up modem? 3G? Local Area Network?

[04:40] parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Bjorn_ [04:40] =) [04:40] amphi, ok i'll look for all the things that you are suggesting to me thank u buddy [04:40] Managu: broadband [04:41] jksd: and how is the broadband connected to your combuter? [04:41] Managu: and that's the only one that's using DHCP [04:41] Managu: broadband modem [04:41] jksd: you have an internal broadband modem?

[04:41] Managu: ethernet [04:42] jksd: gotcha. [04:43] jksd: I'm back to my previous statement then -- a long delay at bootup isn't necessarily a problem, so long as you eventually get passed it. [04:43] Managu: oh OK [04:43] jksd: it may be that your network card is just a little slow getting started [04:43] Managu: hmm, it's a fast connection though [04:44] jksd: not a relivant fact [04:44] Hey guys, how do i find out what linux thinks the amount of MHZ my CPU has? [04:44] Managu: oh I see [04:44] cpuid [04:44] frantic: this is weird [04:44] command not found [04:45] Managu: oh you're talking about the actual hardware booting up [04:45] cubikdice: cat /proc/cpuinfo. or "dmesg | less" [04:45] frantic: I'm able to boot from the hd if I select "boot from hard drive" in the livecd [04:45] jksd: yes [04:45] frantic: its grub, its starting too quick before my hardware has a change to boot properly [04:45] that's weird [04:45] *chance [04:45] Managu: could be I guess, computer is OK though [04:45] Managu: when I say OK, I mean OK standard [04:46] jksd: I know one of my computers has a built-in broadcom-based ethernet port. And it takes a while to initialize [04:46] Managu, WTF it said i only have 1005.107 i have an AMD 64 4000+ 2.4 ghz CPU, is there a way to fix this? [04:46] cubikdice: well, errm, 2 things [04:46] Managu: alright, well thanks for your help anyways [04:46] cubikdice: you probably have cool n quiet enable [04:46] oh [04:46] enabled* [04:46] yeah [04:46] lol [04:47] cubikdice: if you're not running anything processor intensive, you're computer probably has the speed dialed down a bit [04:47] i never knew it did that === carthik is now known as carthik_zzz [04:47] cubikdice: right click on a panel and click to add an application [04:47] slavik, and then [04:47] "add to panel" [04:47] Hey does anyone know anything about using wine to run windows apps under linux?

[04:47] and select "CPU frequency and scaling" monitor [04:47] then click add :) [04:48] managu: trying to run adobe acrobat [04:48] Yanlowen: Acrobat or Acrobat Reader? [04:48] hay how do u put a pic on gaim messenger [04:49] Where can I download dapper ? === blind|AFK is now known as blind [04:49] babo: cdimage.ubuntu.com [04:49] babo: check the wiki or do: sudo "update-manager -d" [04:49] managu: reader, my question is do I have to have a dos patition mounted to install it or can I use wine to install it into the linux file system? [04:49] brb then [04:50] Yanlowen: there's a native adobe reader for linux [04:50] [04:50] 2 [04:50] Alright, having some major problems, I know the error given for all of them [04:50] ImportError: No module named gtk [04:50] shangdu: english please [04:50] Yanlowen: if wine supports acrobat reader, you don't need a dos partition. That said, there are a number of other options [04:50] shangdu: #ubuntu-cn #ubuntu-tw #ubuntu-hk [04:50] It happens when I start add/remove, update manager, etc. [04:50] ok thanks ... [04:50] Anyone have any idea? [04:50] ;( [04:51] is there a way to get the lexmark x74 scanner to work in ubuntu? :( [04:51] mynimal: did you remove gtk or something? [04:51] yanlowen: ubuntu ships with Evince, which can read PDF documents. There's also a native version of acrobat reader that Adobe offers [04:51] I'm pretty definite I haven't. I have GTK+ 2.8.17 installed, according to applications that depend on it. [04:52] managu: okay can I install a windows program to run under wine from my native linux drive? [04:52] [04:52] it is supported by sane [04:52] Yanlowen: yes, that's correct [04:52] Hi all [04:52] haaaaaaaaaaay [04:52] it is not supported by sane [04:52] Yanlowen: if the program works with wine..

You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "hda2"." How do I fix this? [05:00] I need to rebuild my package database how can I do that? [05:00] i was pointed to nvidia, but i don't know which cards with tv-video out are supported in linux [05:00] Heath, sudo apt-get update [05:00] Which mp3 player do you guys recommend for Ubuntu? [05:01] yanlowen: oh, I don't know what could be wrong then =( [05:01] Doesn't work cubikdice [05:01] bimberi: oh OK, you look at the pastebin? [05:01] I will try again though [05:01] wtf [05:01] joe_: if you want a winamp like thing then xmms [05:01] linux_newbie2: you'll probably have to edit your fstab file for that [05:01] linux_newbie2 : you have to add yourself to a group maybe>? [05:01] dunefan: install kde [05:01] er, wait, that was the question [05:01] ray_: ALL nvidia cards are supported, nvidia releases it's drivers [05:01] hi, i'm trying to compile pgadmin and had to apt-get install wx-common, but wx-config still can't be found. i'm having trouble locating the package that provides this file. does anyone know? [05:01] kde is a package [05:02] managu: I know what I did wrong, I deleted the file appelt for it, can I reload those files without reloading ubuntu totally?

[05:02] Yanlowen: it's possible (you'll want to figure out which package those files are in, and force that package to reinstall) [05:02] ray_: yes [05:02] I like frozen bubble but it's too easy ... 30 levels can be finished easily [05:02] Do I need to install a c-complier and such to install xmms? [05:03] Yanlowen: but to be honest, I don't know which packages you need [05:03] slavik: design ur own [05:03] joe_: no [05:03] joe_: shouldn't [05:03] katie_: don't have the time :( [05:03] I get this error when trying to install E: cman: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 What is the problem?

[05:04] ray_: I'd _strongly_ suggest a nVidia based card [05:04] flannel, anything is better than an old nvidia tnt2 32mb card :) [05:04] HELP!!! I get this error when I try to install software through synaptic E: cman: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [05:04] Managu: I got ati to work :) [05:04] Managu: pretty easily, too [05:04] slavik: *bows down and prays to the master* [05:04] Managu: here's the hda2 line from /etc/fstab, what do I need to change? /dev/hda2 /media/hda2 ntfs defaults 0 0 [05:04] Heath: what are you installing?

I pushed delete the file because it failed to load [05:05] i just installed 5.10 on a thinkpad x30 and the framebuffer during boot is very flashy... during the install the screen was skewed and flashing. X11 works fine though. Any ideas? [05:05] Nvidia Drivers [05:05] Kr0ntab: not much, sup with you [05:05] Managu: I used their installer to generate packages and then dpkg -i *.deb [05:05] nm [05:05] koules sound doesnt work either [05:05] linux_newbie2: "defaults" --> "umask=000" [05:05] slavik: Nvidia drivers === guest_ is now known as cary [05:05] slavik: by accident [05:05] Heath: bother Managu then :) [05:05] mintee: the FB during boot doesnt even work on my mac mini on 5.10 heh [05:05] Yanlowen: then Dr_Willis told you how to get it back :) [05:05] managu, i've heard that before about nvidia cards [05:05] slavik: Thanks, thank works. I guess I have to read up on installing things in Ubuntu, I've never done it that way [05:05] heh Spikeb..

[05:06] joe_: I would suggest using synaptic (system -> admin -> synaptic) [05:06] mintee: yes. [05:06] mintee: i have no idea how [05:06] heh [05:06] lol, thanks [05:06] hi............. [05:06] Heath: I don't know what "cman" is [05:06] I was installing ubuntu for the first time today and it would hang every time it tried to apt-get grub. any ideas? [05:06] hello................................ [05:06] Ok, thanks [05:06] Managu: If you don't know what it is how the hell can I fix it O.O AHHH [05:06] wfaulk: 5.10? 6.06? [05:07] Managu: agreed [05:07] 5.10 [05:07] Ratzilla, those instructions will work... but you don't need to worry about the last step of creating a new init.d symbolic link [05:07] slavik: okay I have tried to use the "add to panel" but the icons for my various desktops and the main desktop button on the left side are not reloading. as if the files was deleted from the hard drive. [05:07] Managu: Am I going to have to reinstall Linux completely? [05:07] slavik: those icon on the gnome panel that is [05:07] !wpa [05:07] Enable the universe repository, then "sudo apt-get update", and then "sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant". See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WPAHowto for more details [05:07] Yanlowen: are you right clicking on the panel you want to add stuff to? [05:07] Heath: *shrug* That's probably a bit extreme. Happen to know what the names of the packages you're trying to install are? [05:07] slavik: yes [05:07] Ratzilla, see that link for some fairly decent instructions [05:08] Yanlowen: do you double clickw hat you want to add or single click then click "Add"? [05:08] Managu: nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-common [05:08] hi..................... [05:08] that adds stuff to toolbars, not to desktop [05:08] it appears to be a problem with apt-get rather than a problem with grub [05:08] hi.................................. [05:08] Kr0ntab: i already did it..im just not sure what to do with ubuntu's networking ...the one that has the icon on the taskbar by default [05:08] !patience [05:08] The people in this channel are volunteers. Please be aware there are a lot of questions, but only maybe few who might know the answer for you. Please be patient. Your attitude may determine their willingness to help you. [05:08] !ask [05:08] Heath: tried installing from the command line? e.g. "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common"? [05:08] Ratzilla, you dont need to do anything with that [05:08] helo [05:08] the package turned out to be libwxgtk2.6-dev ... one of those ones that has "lib" at the start [05:09] Kr0ntab: so i can have the device inactive? [05:09] !tell cary about ask [05:09] slavik: okay I am going to try and reinstall the packages from the ubuntu cd, thanks for the help [05:09] I've found CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=m but I don't know what else to use other than the 'm' [05:09] jksd: hmmk, you could try commenting out "auto eth0" in your interfaces file. it migh work, although i suspect it might be required in order for your PC to connect to your modem at startup [05:09] is there a program that can make dvd movies? [05:09] Heath: If the world is fair, you should get the same error -- but you might get a bit more information to accompany it [05:09] mintee: m-odule , y-es or n-o :P [05:09] *might [05:09] Managu: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:09] Thanks Dr_Willis [05:09] Is EasyUbuntu safe? [05:09] awww man! The Uncyclopedia says that Ubuntu is gay :( [05:10] i'll say no, reboot and bbiab [05:10] linux_newbie2: it's pretty safe [05:10] Heath: how bout pastebin'ing the entire error [05:10] that's one thing I haven't agreed on with that fake encyclopedia [05:10] hi slavik [05:10] !easyubuntu [05:10] I guess easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/. [05:10] linux_newbie2: it should be, if it isn't a certain dev will get his hands chopped off :) [05:10] Managu: pastebin'ing? [05:10] it's all about your /etc/network/interfaces file and making sure it is set up correctly. That icon in the bottom panel is non-important [05:10] I would like to know what program can take videos on a hard drive and put them onto a DVD to be played in a DVD player. [05:10] heath: or even the entire result of the apt-get command [05:10] !tell heath about pastebin [05:10] !tell heath about pastebin [05:10] bimberi: k [05:10] jinx! [05:10] does anyone know how to make the airport extreme work on a powerbook g4 [05:10] nomin: I suggest asking doom9.net people ... they would know [05:11] jksd: easily undone anyway :) [05:11] does anyone have a powerbook g44 [05:11] nomin: There's a package called qdvdauthor that might be able to help [05:11] *g4 [05:11] hello all [05:11] linux_newbie2: don't be afraid to use it [05:11] hello bakura82 [05:11] anyone up for assisting a newb? [05:12] Managu: Okay i did that [05:12] newb to ubuntu at least [05:12] heath: you can paste the url =p [05:12] bakura82, all depends on the question :) [05:12] seb_: i have a mac mini, but no airport. [05:12] !broadcom [05:12] it has been said that broadcom is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25683 for a guide to setting up Broadcom network cards [05:12] Managu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14509 [05:12] Managu: There ya go buddy =P [05:12] !tell bakura82 about ask [05:12] anyone have any ideas why 5.10 would hang at installing grub during install? [05:12] Ratzilla, you get that last message? [05:12] ubotu tell seb_ about airportextreme [05:13] although the parody release names are hilarious... [05:13] Heath: random thought... read the channel topic when you joined? === guest_ is now known as cary [05:13] they can't possibly be worse than the actual names [05:13] sorry. i was interecepted by some odd IM [05:13] anyway, just got a new laptop [05:13] Managu: What? [05:13] AMD 64 turion [05:13] joined the room [05:13] hp dv5000 series [05:13] bakura82: cool [05:14] Heath: The American (US) repositories are not working - please take the us. out of your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Thank you! [05:14] spikeb: thanks :) [05:14] Managu: How do I do that I'm very new to Linux [05:14] linux_newbie2: you bet. [05:14] Heath: it won't solve your current problem now, but it might have earlier. That said -- [05:14] i wanted tryout out the ubuntu distro, but I don't have enough experience to trouble shoot it. it give me the option to hit enter and install. well, it hangs... the last thing I see is somethign about "frame buffers..." and it goes to fast for me to catch it [05:15] any thought? [05:15] Heath: "gtksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [05:15] Managu: So I can't fix my current problem? [05:15] bimberi, are you around === guest_ is now known as cary [05:15] heath: make that "gksudo" ... [05:15] hi....................... [05:15] vars: yep [05:15] Hi cary! [05:16] cool i need to configure this poert forwaing [05:16] hi managu. asl pls [05:16] Managu: Now I delete all teh us.? [05:16] is there a wrapper for scanners? [05:16] So, how bad is the error message "kernal panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)"? [05:16] Managu: So it is just i.e. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [05:16] how about this. first question: I am using an AMD 64. MUST I install the 64 bit or can I use the i386? [05:16] heath: many of the internet addresses start or have "us." in them. yeah, you got the idea [05:16] Ry: is this a dual boot system? [05:16] slavik: no [05:17] cary: Sorry, not interested in cyborz today. There are better places to have a social conversation. [05:17] Ry: only ubuntu is there? [05:17] slavik: yep [05:17] bakura82: you can use the i386 [05:17] dedicated ubuntu machine [05:17] ry, then it's weird [05:17] Mangu: Done so now I should be able to install? [05:17] installed from a fresh format. [05:17] ry, I am not the kernel expert :( [05:17] bakura82: in fact, I'd rather suggest it for the present. Installing 64 bit could be problematic [05:17] :/ [05:17] Managu: that's what I though. no luck though. [05:17] Managu: I agree [05:17] k fine [05:17] heath: let's do some cleanup next. "sudo apt-get update" [05:18] bakura82: openoffice doesn't compile for 64bit and then is other unsupportedness [05:18] I <3 Linux [05:18] Haha [05:18] Managu: Done [05:18] Hello anyone help me out , i installed webmin, an di cant seem to remove it (uninstall it) [05:18] w0rd [05:18] ry, I am guessing that it is not able to mount the root partition [05:18] slavik: np. i prefer the 32. reading the forums right now to try and find my problem [05:18] Pyru: how did you install it? [05:18] heath: after that, let's see if we can get rid of cman. "sudo dpkg --purge cman" [05:18] yesyes, that seems obvious. The question is why and how to fix it. ;) [05:19] should it be sudo dpkg -P cman? [05:19] slavik, through synaptic if i remember correclty [05:19] Managu: should it be sudo dpkg -P cman? [05:19] ry, this is why I feel said (I don't know :() [05:19] Heath: it's quite possible that's equivalent [05:19] Pyru, selected thru Synaptic again, and select the Uninstall option [05:19] prolly is [05:19] hey how do i make a static ip adress [05:19] slavik, actually I downloaded it to my desktop [05:19] then untarred then installed [05:19] Pyru: make install? [05:19] and what is dyndns [05:19] !dyndns [05:19] [dyndns] a free service to provide people with canonical hostnames for their dynamic IP addresses, thus making it easier for their personal systems to be reached when they are online. Please see http://www.dyndns.org/ for more information. [05:20] slavik, this is my first day on linux [05:20] Managu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14511 [05:20] Pyru: did you do anything in the terminal? [05:20] Pyru: ie: command line [05:20] yup [05:20] Pyru: My second ;) [05:20] Pyru: did you do "make install" in command line? [05:20] ACK. man. [05:20] Flannel, what is dyndns is it a service or an apt? [05:20] ANyone know how i can [05:20] Pyru: the untarred directory is still there? [05:20] "pause" the install [05:20] slackern, yes [05:20] but If i try to remove it , its in use [05:20] so I can see what the heck is causing teh hang [05:21] Managu: Did you catch that? [05:21] *snarl* [05:21] vars: it's a website [05:21] Have I ever mentioned how I hate dpkg? [05:21] or at least go line by line [05:21] Heath: yes, I caught it [05:21] Pyru: go to the directory in terminal and do "make uninstall" [05:21] hey all - what do i do if i need a module that's included in the 2.6.15 kernel but i'm running breezy and don't want to upgrade it - can you download the source and compile it? [05:21] Managu: Any suggestions? [05:21] Heath: dpkg can be quite annoying if anything gets out of whack [05:21] Managu: go back to rpm you masochistic bitch :P [05:21] slavic: back? I started on debian =( [05:21] slavik, language, thanks [05:21] oh ... then why hate on dpkg? [05:22] what command is make uninstall? [05:22] you had mentioed that i might need that for displaying a website on the net with my server [05:22] Madpilot: it was for effect ... [05:22] slavik: If you can help then help haha [05:22] dpkg is insistant on having a perfect install [05:22] heh [05:22] Is there a way to have ubuntu install go line-by-line or simply a button that I can use to pause during installation so I can find what's causing my problem? [05:22] Pyru: open a terminal [05:22] slavik: because if something doesn't configure properly, it can be very, very annoying to clean stuff up [05:22] heath: what do you get when you dpkg --pending --configure ? [05:22] Managu: isn't rpm like that, too? [05:22] slavik, IM IN TERMINAL [05:22] but with the dependency hell "feature"? [05:22] woops [05:22] hi......................... [05:23] Pyru: good :D [05:23] slavik: My hatred could well be universal. But then, I've never used RPM [05:23] dpkg by itself has dependency hell, you know. [05:23] helo................................. [05:23] go to the untarred directory [05:23] Managu: dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege [05:23] guess ill have to uninstall ubuntu :(( [05:23] spikeb: not with apt and synaptic :) [05:23] katie_: why? [05:23] heath righto. "sudo dpkg --pending --configure" [05:23] slavik: and the same can be said of rpm and smart or yum :P [05:23] katie_; wont work with my printer scanner :(( [05:23] heath: you might as well prepend "sudo" to everything we say from now on, 'cause none of it can be done without superuse privilege [05:23] Managu: It just goes to the next line [05:23] slavik, command? lol [05:23] katie_: which models? [05:23] spikeb: I read a terrible thing about yum ... how it hits the server up for anything it does ... [05:24] anyone? [05:24] Pyru: "make uninstall" [05:24] heath: that's good. Try removing again. "dpkg --purge cman" [05:24] tritium: lexmark x74 [05:24] does anybody know how to make the right click option on a mac work [05:24] slackern: yes, it can be irritating [05:24] spikeb: to the point that "yum update" is useless [05:24] katie_: you're sure? [05:24] my ctrl button doesnt seem to work [05:24] ~/Desktop/webmin-1.270$ make uninstall [05:24] bash: make: command not found [05:24] i would never go back to a rmp distrobution [05:24] katie_, heh - Lexmarks are known to cause trouble w/ Linux... [05:24] hmm? [05:24] Managu: Samer error man [05:24] tritium: z74 sorry [05:24] hmm [05:24] lexmarks are trouble anywhere [05:24] *makes threatening fistshake towards nickcomplete* [05:24] tritium: sane says "unsupported" [05:24] Pyru: can you pastebin the makefile (Makefile) [05:25] or was there a script that installed stuff? [05:25] heath: ok, time for more drastic measures. "sudo dpkg --force-all --purge cman" [05:25] hey my resolve.conf looks like : adsl locahost nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 255.255.0.0 [05:25] slavik: they have a linux development kit for 3 printers out of 100 :( [05:25] slackern: my long time nickcomplete adversary :P [05:25] Managu: Still error [05:25] katie_: does is emulate another Lexmark model by chance, or speak postscript? Any info from linuxprinting.org? [05:25] *sulks* [05:25] katie_: who? [05:25] does anybody know how to make the ctrl button work (for example to simulate right clicking) on a powerbook g4 [05:25] but i can't acces the internet unless i change the nameserver to 4.2.2.1 [05:25] vars...... [05:25] how can i extract .RAR Archives... [05:25] slavk: lexmark [05:25] guest_, what [05:26] Managu: What is Module dlm do I need it it says its not found [05:26] katie_: I would suggest hp but I doubt it's an option :( [05:26] knanand, install the rar packages thru synaptic [05:26] Heath: It looks like that's stuff for computer clustering; I'd guess the module has something to do with load balancing, but it's just a random guess [05:26] please help me [05:26] Question: Is there a way to disable a unmet dependencies warning? [05:26] knanand: you need unrar or unrar-free packages [05:27] CyberDoo: by installing the dependancy :) [05:27] Managu: Any way I can fix that? Thats what my webmaster samuel said cluster=bad O.o He knows nothing about it [05:27] tritium: nope printer not listed there :( [05:27] slavik: Perhaps a little elaberation...... [05:27] Madpilot, what are the packages ??? [05:27] slavik: On my part. [05:27] katie_: sorry.... [05:27] QUESTION: Is there a way to have ubuntu install go line-by-line. The pause button on the keyboard does not work. I need to single ourt what is causing my install error? [05:27] asl vars [05:27] knanand: they are in universe / multiverse repositories [05:27] knanand, I can't remember - search synaptic for rar [05:27] heath: should be possible, but dpkg is being annoying [05:27] asl vars [05:27] bakura82: alt-f4 [05:27] tritium: and i got everything else working too :( [05:27] bakura82: Do what I did make a new boot CD [05:28] guest_, what [05:28] is spiftacity depreciated now? [05:28] ???? [05:28] bakura82: You may have had a burn error [05:28] katie_: sounds like the printer is the problem, not the OS ;) [05:28] does metacity have AIGLX support now? [05:28] shawn_home: in dapper I think ... [05:28] slavik, i used this tutorial to install it [05:28] http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7507&highlight=webmin [05:28] shawn_home: ask in #ubuntu+1 [05:28] Managu: O.o okay I get that dpkg is annoying but what can I do about that? [05:28] !glxgears [05:28] To display the FPS type "glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark" [05:28] heath: think so...? hmm. okay. at least i know teh md5 checked out. [05:28] tritium: isnt there a wrapper like there is for wireless cards? [05:28] so i am curious on how to uninstall it [05:28] sparkleytone: will try. thanks. [05:28] katie_: I don't believe so, no [05:29] danke === guest__ is now known as noe [05:29] sparkleytone: ALT-F4 is a no go [05:29] Heath: I dunno, really. You need to uninstall the package, but dpkg won't let you unless it succeeds in doing something that's currently failing [05:29] bakura82: You have nothing better to do [05:29] before I burn this again. [05:29] I want to use Ekiga, the gnomemeeting replacement. New libraries are needed todo this. One library is the h323 library. If I remove this, gnomemeeting complains. If I remove gnomemeeting then it wants to remove ubuntudesktop which I don't want to remove. Suggestions? [05:29] Heath: actually. sleep would be better. llol. [05:29] heath: maybe if we try installing cman, we can get it to work properly [05:29] Managu: Is there anyway to force it to shutdown? [05:29] say glxgears is working, and cpu is at 5%, if i move the window while the gears are moving, and cpu goes to 100%, does that mean i have no video acceleration? [05:29] heath: try "sudo apt-get install cman" [05:29] bakura82: do what I did sleep while you burn [05:29] bakura82: that console should tell you the error [05:29] hi................................ [05:30] helo..................................... [05:30] noe: Hello. [05:30] Still error [05:30] sparkleytone: It scrolls to fast. I can't stop it or slow it down. [05:30] That's why I asked how to do a line by line install] [05:30] Managu: Still get an error i'll pastebin it [05:30] so i can see the issue [05:31] Managu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14513 [05:31] bakura82: you'll have to drop to the 2nd console and find the apt log and tail -f it [05:31] Pyru: there should be an uninstall script [05:32] Heath: well, it's all guesses from here out. What's "sudo dpkg --audit" suggest? [05:32] can someone teach me how to reverse engineer a scanner driver? [05:32] sparkleytone: I can't (or don't know how-to) change to a different console during teh initial install [05:32] Managu: cman is only half configured and thats my cluster manager [05:32] Managu: That can't be very good [05:32] slavik, dunno [05:32] bakura82: its alt-f# [05:32] Im new to linux today is my first day [05:32] so no clue [05:32] 1 is console 1, 2 is 2, etc [05:32] Can someone tell me what to do if it tells me my c compiler can't create executables? I'm using gcc [05:33] Heath: right, we know that. What's the audit suggest? [05:33] Managu: Is there a way to force delete it from the process so its not configured at all [05:33] siminn verk [05:33] Managu: Hang on let me try to do what it says [05:33] sorry [05:33] heath: that's what I've been trying to accomplish =/ === rayonp is now known as CaDaVeRiA [05:33] sparkleytone: that is what is should be. i know. but it doesn't work in teh inistail install for some reason. [05:33] joe_: What do you mean? [05:33] it's not switchign [05:33] I upgraded to Dapper and now it brings up the log in page, ... I log in .. and then I just get a screen with the colored background and nothing else ... [05:33] bakura82: try a diff keyboard [05:34] .... laptop... with no PS2 port.... [05:34] and I don't have a USB one [05:34] joe_: make sure "build-essentials" is installed? [05:34] Managu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14515 [05:34] if i have the linux 2.6.15 source and want to compile one module to use in my 2.6.12 kernel - how would i do it? [05:34] Managu: build-essential (no "s") [05:34] bakura82: try using the fn key too [05:34] good point [05:35] what he said! [05:35] ;) [05:35] Pyru: ./run-uninstalls.pl [05:35] frell [05:35] no go [05:35] abarbaccia: firstly, get the 2.6.12 source ... [05:35] Managu: Any suggestions now? [05:35] abarbaccia: you would download the 2.6.12 source, make menuconfig...import the config from your current kernel...and then enable said module [05:36] Managu: Thanks, that did it [05:36] Heath: I'm reading the manpage for dpkg. You might do the same (man dpkg) [05:36] sparkleytone: modules come in patch (diff) form or what? [05:36] slavik, do I type that in terminal? [05:36] or double click the icon in the folder [05:37] jake, thanks [05:37] looking for help, setting up my wireless card. configuring wpa. [05:37] So is there no line-by-line command in linux/ubuntu? [05:37] slavik: don't think so...what i was getting at is that if they want a driver they need to enable it in menuconfig but make sure that the kernel is otherwise the same as it is now [05:37] bakura82: what do you mean? [05:37] the try,catch feature doesnt look to works well to me in php, does somebody else feels the same? [05:37] Managu: Does this Help: deinstall [05:38] The package is selected for deinstallation (i.e. we want to [05:38] remove all files, except configuration files). [05:38] sparkleytone: the module i need is only in the 2.6.15 kernel... [05:38] Heath: not really [05:38] Managu: Can I use that somehow to get rid of it Oh thought maybe I'd be able to [05:38] tritium: I am having issues installing breezy. unless i can' slow down the install, i can't see what teh last line was during the initialization taht cause the problem [05:38] abarbaccia: then you'll need to upgrade your kernel [05:38] sparkleytone: there is no way to use that module with the older kernel? [05:38] bakura82: ah, I see [05:38] I want to use Ekiga, the gnomemeeting replacement. New libraries are needed todo this. One library is and upgrade to the h323 library. If I remove this, gnomemeeting complains. If I remove gnomemeeting then it wants to remove ubuntudesktop which I don't want to remove. How can I suppress the unmet dependancy problems? [05:39] abarbaccia: you'll need to go to the new source, make menuconfig, then import the old config and enable the new module [05:39] okay - i see what you're saying [05:39] abarbaccia: there are ways, but they are unreliable at best [05:39] build the new kernel with my old config [05:39] Managu: what is prerm script? [05:39] CyberDoo: it'll be in dapper. Hang tight for 8 or 9 days. [05:39] tritium: no ideas then, huh? :/ [05:39] Heath: well, more radical still. Do this -- "sudo rm -f /etc/init.d/cman; sudo touch /etc/init.d/cman;" Then try purging again [05:39] but enable the module... [05:39] abarbaccia: also...if its a distro-supplied kernel...cross-versioning modules is probably not enabled [05:39] when a function f1 calls another function f2 from inside a try block, and an exception is throwed from f2, the function f1 gets no exception... [05:39] heath: a prerm script is a program that's run to prepare your system for removing that package [05:39] sparkleytone: they are the breezy and dapper kernels [05:40] tritium: Okay. I'll do that. No biggee. Thanks. [05:40] sparkleytone: k [05:40] abarbaccia: ya...shouldn't cause problems...just make sure that if you currently boot to an initrd image to build a new initrd too [05:40] Pyru: yes [05:40] i can see the router but the connection drops , reconnects then idles then drops [05:40] bakura82: depends on what issues you're having [05:40] unkown command if i type it in the terminal [05:40] slavik, [05:40] sakka: wifi? [05:40] tritium: Hang on install. [05:40] abarbaccia: which means yeah they are initrd images...you'll want to install kernel-package [05:40] yes sir? [05:40] Pyru: with ./ in beginning and in the directory of the untarred tar? [05:40] tritium: I can't manage to see WHAT the last line was that may have caused the hang. [05:40] sakka: that is one problem ... [05:40] Managu: when I did thos commands it just went to the next line [05:41] heath: then try purging again [05:41] sparkleytone: see, i can't just upgrade to dapper because the fglrx module won't load DRM (i think its a bug) but breezy has no problems [05:41] heath said bad burn, so I am also burning a new disk to see if maybe thats the prblem [05:41] abarbaccia: and once you configure the kernel, you'll make-kpkg --initrd binary [05:41] bakura82: can you drop to a console? [05:41] abarbaccia: dri is fixed I believe [05:41] Managu: Whats command for that sorry so much to learn :S [05:41] slavik, ~/Desktop/webmin-1.270$ /run-uninstall.pl [05:41] bash: /run-uninstall.pl: No such file or directory [05:41] slavik: as of when? [05:41] tritium: i am having problems doing that [05:41] abarbaccia: with latest fglrx [05:41] heath "sudo dpkg --purge cman" [05:41] Managu: ty [05:41] 8.24.8 [05:41] when a function f1 calls another function f2 from inside a try block, and an exception is throwed from f2, the function f1 gets no exception... I think this isnt right.. this happens with some of you too? [05:41] abarbaccia: follow? [05:41] bakura82: hmm [05:41] heath: with luck, the error message will change a tad [05:41] tritium: maybe you can walk me though because ia m an idiot or something [05:41] sparkleytone: yes, thank you! [05:42] abarbaccia: np...good luck [05:42] Managu: deinstall [05:42] The package is selected for deinstallation (i.e. we want to [05:42] remove all files, except configuration files). [05:42] heath: no pasting to the channel, please [05:42] bakura82: you're not. I can't right now, sorry. [05:42] okay, i'm back with more video card questions. forgive me... [05:42] Managu: sorry [05:42] but i tried switching via alt-fx but it doesn't seem to switch [05:42] abarbaccia: if you've never used make-kpkg before, it will create debs in the parent dir [05:42] i've found a Geforce MX4000 64MB DDR AGP 2X/4X Video Card for 22 bucks [05:42] Pyru: there is an 's' at end of run-uninstalls :) [05:42] Managu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14519 [05:42] tritium: no prob. just a newb tyring to getthis thing going with no luck at all [05:42] slavik: Im missing soemthing...

[05:45] does anyone one else around here know much about s-video out? [05:45] heath: I'd suggest you go back to following whatever howto or link you were following before to install the nvidia drivers [05:45] Managu: Does that mean I should be able to install now? [05:46] Dr_Willis: anything to better manage ati cards for s-video and second monitor? [05:46] Heath: Hear goes CD number 2. :) [05:46] without having to restart x?

[05:47] well if i had the million, not sure if I'd give it all up for help... [05:47] Heath: I don't believe it's the CD. This is something to do with my new PC. [05:47] bakura82: sorry it didnt help its just that what I had to do thought it might work for you [05:47] Pyru: I would see what happens when you install it from the repositories and then uninstall it [05:47] i killed my display three times following a tutorial before i realized my card was not supported [05:47] ray_: haha [05:47] ray_: what card?

The more complicated answer is that you might be able to dig into the installer and figure it out -- but it'll probably require delving into the source [05:50] !tell bmlou about restricted-formats [05:50] !tell bmlou about restricted [05:50] Ubuntu rawks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[06:33] On my Ubuntu its English but usafuly its icelandic [06:33] Kyral, ok thanks... ubuntu is the beginners linux if i understand well [06:33] but as you learn you may want something more "advanced" that lets you play more with the system (Like Debian, Arch, or Gentoo) [06:33] hehe "what is your default language?" that just have to come from a computer user :) [06:33] But thats wuy i need help [06:33] slackern: ;) [06:33] madpilot my streaming is working on one station lol no others [06:33] metatag: Others that are good for beginners include Fedora, SuSE, and MEPIS [06:34] can a totally headless server be installed of ubuntu ? like using ssh [06:34] metatag, Ubuntu works for beginners and experts both [06:34] amphi: i checked out the syslog and nothing is listed about eth1 [06:34] lwizardl, ya proberly need a monitor/keyboard to do the install.. but then can unplug them [06:34] Kyral, thanks am going to buy an ubuntu dvd.. how much is the license?

[06:35] metatag: well, you need to buy the blank DVD to burn the ISO onto.... [06:35] metatag, Ubuntu will ship you a CD (or a bunch) for free, or you can download the CD image (the ISO) [06:35] disinterseted_pe, you probably need to configure the key mapping [06:35] lwizardl, if ya have a pwoer failure.. ya box may not boot all the way to ssh. :( that was my prob last week when i had a power outage.. had to plug in a monitor/keyboard to see what was going on [06:35] Madpilot: I think this concept is completely alien to metatag :P [06:35] DJ_Danni: dpkg-reconfigure locales perhaps [06:36] my sound card still won't work [06:36] the bar moves but the sound doesnt go up and down [06:36] Anyone know around when Dapper will be released officially?

Any suggestions? The default burning software in Ubuntu doesn't do everything I need it to :( [06:36] Dr_Willis, try reiser4 , which is more robust with power failure or other kernel crashes [06:36] metatag: yes [06:36] Sivik, install 'lm-sensors' [06:36] Thanks guys [06:36] metatag, absolutely. [06:36] metatag, shipit.ubuntu.com for free CDs [06:36] metatag: Free != Low Quality [06:36] Dr_Willis, so there isn't something on the live cd?

[06:41] Can anyone help me get K3b to work properly? When I try to burn, I get "CDrecord has no permission to open this device". I tried adding my account to the cdrom group... but that didn't work. Any suggestions? The default burning software in Ubuntu doesn't do everything I need it to :( [06:41] how do you test for errors on the hd other than fsck [06:41] metatag: its the entire base OS....

[06:43] DJ_Danni, don't repeat :( this is an english channel anyway [06:43] Kyral, welcome to #ubuntu-evangelism ;) [06:43] UNH2LY: lspci should give you an idea what it is [06:43] So i need help and i am angry [06:43] so with windows you need to like defrag and stuff and clean out temp files.....do i need to do that with ubuntu? [06:43] UUURRRR [06:43] Madpilot: Its more like Open Source evengelism :P [06:43] DJ_Danni, so what language do you speak? [06:43] dli, when you should use reiserFS?? is it commonly used? [06:43] DanTheMan25, not really [06:43] Icelandic [06:43] sakka, watch iwlist [connection] scan [06:43] Littelbite Emnglish [06:43] Mean English [06:44] !is [06:44] I guess is is the country code for iceland [06:44] Madpilot is that because of the filesystem differences? === eno is now known as eno-away [06:44] amphi, lemme check [06:44] DJ_Danni, any other languages you speak better than English? [06:44] <[NP] Tangent> hey guys [06:44] jmoncayo, no, avoid reiserfs, #debian people explain that reiserfs is like a rocket, it runs fast, before it explodes [06:44] hello everybody [06:44] My duty as a member of the Free Software Foundation [06:44] Ok then.. are there any other cd/dvd burning packages other than K3b that I can try? I need something that will recognize and burn various image types, as well as write VIDEO_TS dvd folders, etc... I can't get K3b to work and nobody here seems willing to help :( [06:44] DanTheMan25, ext3 doesn't fragment like NTFS or fat32 does [06:44] <[NP] Tangent> any ideas as to why a certain program (LMMS) will not read the contents of directories? [06:44] anjin_: Gnomebaker, Graveman come to mind [06:44] anjin_, odd that you are having k3b issues - it works great for me. [06:44] I speak 100% Icelandic but 30-50%English [06:44] anjin_: K3B is your best [06:44] madpilot thanks :) [06:44] anjin_: may want to ask in #kde about K3B [06:44] Some words i do noat undestand [06:45] dli, so the common is to use ext3 [06:45] Hmm.. i cant say that i have used k3b to make a video-dvd however. [06:45] JFS is teh sexy :D [06:45] jmoncayo, so avoid reiserfs, if you are not happy with ext3, try jfs, if have a UPS, try xfs [06:45] I agree K3b is the best.. I have it working on another machine. I dont know why it wont on this one. I tried Gnomebaker, but it didn't recognize a lot of the disc image files I threw at it [06:45] But one question [06:45] Wuy do you have this IRC if you noat use this PRIVATE???? [06:45] anjin_, run it from a terminal and see if any error messages are being printed. [06:45] anjin_, what about nautilus-cd-burner ? [06:46] DJ_Danni, people get better help in a public channel, usually. [06:46] dli: Is that the one that pops up automatically when a blank is inserted? If so... I can only burn data cd/dvds with that [06:46] Dr_Willis - Should I use sudo k3b? [06:46] anjin_, I think so [06:47] anjin_, but not sure about whether it's data only [06:47] anjin_, k3b does not require root access [06:47] ive never had to sudo k3b and i use it ALL the time.. may need to sudo it - and rerun the k3b config tool. [06:47] anjin_, double check, " id anjin " to make sure you are within the cdrom group [06:47] DB0 - Maybe not, but it tells me that Cdrecord does not have permission to the device [06:47] how do i tell if a live cd is using swap or RAM [06:47] Iff i can noat get help here wher?? Iff noat here i am gonna swicth frome Ubunto to othere but Ubunto is best for the bigenners my Frend say to me : [06:48] ; [06:48] anjin_, thats a permission issue that should be resolved, but not by running k3b as root... [06:48] Sivik, if you know your swap partition, you can , " sudo swapon /dev/blahblah " [06:48] DJ_Danni, are there any Linux groups or clubs in Iceland? [06:48] Sivik, don't make mistake with the /dev/ part [06:48] heh [06:49] No [06:49] Thats EWuy i came here [06:49] dli - I dont see cdrom from the id command .. but I added myself to the cdrom group in the gui "Users and Groups" [06:49] To get anny help but answare is NO HELP :angry [06:50] DJ_Danni, www.linux.is [06:50] DB0 - Ok, so how do I resolve it? (I hate being a newb again!) :) [06:50] I am werry Angry [06:50] Nope Down [06:50] DJ_Danni, release your anger somewhere else, this is a public channel [06:50] DJ_Danni: what's the problem? [06:50] linux.is is down [06:51] anjin_: you have to log out and in again if you add yourself to a group, for it to be effective; type groups in a term to see what groups you are currently in [06:51] anjin_, dli told you, you need to be in the users group... [06:51] erm [06:51] cdrom group that is [06:51] amphi, PM [06:51] Hey tritium can you send me a Privaete? I NEED HEEEEEELLP NOW [06:51] UNH2LY: why?

[07:34] ubuntu: you could boot off a cd, chroot into your / and reinstall the kernel package or otherwise fix the initrd [07:35] amphi; i am in a live cd now [07:35] dli: i sure can, and have tried 1-11, doesnt seems to matter [07:35] dli: please read your pm [07:35] amphi: posted and thank you for checking it [07:35] Is there a "gnome-ftp-support" package I install or something? [07:36] with Ubuntu, my synaptics touchpad was auto config'd!! When I was using debian, sarge, I had to config it... Sarge is behind the times, Ubuntu rocks!!!!!!!!!! [07:36] I was able to burn in k3b after running a chmod a+rwx on the actual device in the /dev/ folder [07:36] amphi: reinstall the kernel its that major and fix the initrd would be major also [07:36] sakka, maybe something wrong with your router [07:37] dli: im showing 2 cells when i run iwconfig eth1 scanning [07:37] sakka, do you mean 2 APs? [07:37] how come the clock is always offsync in ubuntu [07:37] i have to sync it manually every 2nd day [07:37] Just in case that info can actually help somebody with the same problem in the future :) [07:37] and the offset is 2 mins or smth ;) [07:38] sakka, you can use iwconfig to set essid and address ( MAC, might be different from iwlist scan) [07:38] dli: sorry about that, I meant iwlist, not iwconfig [07:39] amphi: i do not suppose moving grub back to 5-10 server instead of grub as it is now on 6.06 server would make a diffrence? [07:39] dli: yes sir, i have the essid set and the address [07:39] hey all, come to #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss this. [07:39] http://go.fark.com/cgi/fark/go.pl?IDLink=2079310&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesmokinggun.com%2Farchive%2F.%2F0519063nc1.html [07:39] sakka, check your router logs [07:40] dli: ill check them right now [07:40] sakka, set static IP at your router also [07:40] dli: roger [07:40] Anyone able to get a USB wacom tablet working with pressure sensitivity under Ubuntu? My stylus movements are recognized (albeit poorly), but touching it to the tablet does nothing at all. [07:40] dli: should i see the 2 cells though, or? [07:40] sakka, hold on, is it a wireless problem, or your ISP problem [07:40] paradizelost, once in -offtopic was enough - that didn't need to arrive here too... [07:41] sakka, plugin the nic cable, maybe it also happens with wired [07:41] dli: wireless [07:41] Can someone please help me with this error /dev/null Device full [07:41] dli: im wired right now [07:41] sakka, it doesn't happen with wired? [07:41] quit [07:41] I_Love_DRM, hah [07:41] Guess not... ohwell. Later then I guess [07:42] dli: the wifi connect and then drops, im sorry all, but how do i get to pastebin again? [07:42] sakka, pastebin.com [07:43] so i'm at the final stage for setting up my nvidia twinview but i have one last detail-- the BusId: does anyone know how to set it or a page that gives details? [07:43] whats the comand to repair disk is efsk? [07:43] fsck [07:43] fsck ok thanks [07:43] Ubugtu, for ext2 and ext3 filesystems, its e2fsck [07:43] ubuntu, fsck is the general, e2fsck is for ext2 [07:43] and ext3 [07:44] dli is sakka using ndiswrapper? [07:44] rredd4, could be, I have no experience with it then :) [07:44] dli: i doesnt happen with wired and i have pasted at pastebin [07:45] rredd4: no sir i am not [07:45] hello [07:45] who knows about a program that load any app in the notification area? [07:46] I used https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [07:46] sakka do you have a linux driver for your wireless card or is it a windows driver from a cd or a web site? [07:46] hi [07:46] hi [07:46] anyone here? [07:46] lots of us [07:46] i just read the the ubuntu website [07:46] Thlayli, about 700 people :) [07:46] i'm wondering whether i should try it [07:46] i've been using freebsd for years now [07:46] as a workstation [07:47] Thlayli, yeah, go for it man. If you have problems come back here and we will help you solve them =) [07:47] Thlayli, well, if you are happy with freebsd, why switch? [07:47] rredd4: i think im using a linux driver? [07:47] Thlayli, you're going to get a biased answer here - this is #ubuntu, after all ;) [07:47] Well, there are some issues [07:47] e.g. the java support [07:47] support for macromedia flash [07:47] Thlayli, unless freebsd is lacking some features/capabilities that you want, no reason to do other os [07:47] i'm limited with multimedia things [07:47] c'mon someone must know something about BusID. a room full o' smart fellas (gender neutral) like ya'll [07:47] anyone know a program to load apps in notification area??? [07:47] Thlayli, ubuntu is fairly well supported and sports the debian package scheme (being debian based) which makes things much more slick for installing [07:47] sakka, where did you get the driver from [07:47] today i wanted to install ethereal, and recognized the port is broken :( [07:47] Thlayli, ah hmm ic. well, you could try. just set off a partition for ubuntu, and do a dualboot. [07:48] i'm not a fan of dual boot [07:48] matheus, do a google search on trayitall [07:48] i'd have some questions in particular [07:48] Thlayli, well, throw out your questions, and we will see :) [07:48] i didn't find a website where all packages are listed that ubuntu installs by default [07:48] matheus, wait thats wrong... [07:48] thanks!! [07:48] can i choose this packages during the installation-procedure? [07:48] ok [07:49] does ubuntu offer any kind of encrypted file-system like GELI or GBDE? [07:49] Thlayli: You could always do a server install that will give you a minial install without a graphical interface and build from that. [07:49] rredd4: I just followed the directions on the wiki? [07:49] yeah, that's cool [07:49] i love my fluxbox :) [07:49] i hate most things beginning with k ;) [07:49] sakka, what wifi card ? [07:50] http://pastebin.com/732505 [07:50] Thlayli, gnome is the default desktop for Ubuntu - Kubuntu is the KDE varient [07:50] Thlayli, well, good thing that default ubuntu desktop is gnome, not KDE, then, ain't it? :) [07:50] broadcom [07:50] is xgl already integrated? [07:50] you know, xorg 7.0 was developed for linux only :( [07:50] not available for the BSDs [07:50] Thlayli, no, not quite... but there are howtos on how to install it on ubuntu dapper [07:50] 6.9 was the sister release, but it does not feature xgl [07:50] Thlayli, xgl, that is [07:51] how to move grub from one os so it opens another ie ubuntu [07:51] dli: bcm4306 [07:51] i could live with gnome [07:51] how about kernel-adjustments [07:51] is there a config-file or do you all use a generic kernel? [07:51] Hello can someone help me uninstall webmin completely please? [07:51] does anyone know if there something besides wine [07:51] sakka, maybe, it's the driver, try the new driver in kernel 2.6.17 [07:51] matheus, I know there is one... but I cant seem to find it... [07:51] debian offers many possibilities to adjust one's kernel [07:51] ? [07:51] so does gentoo [07:51] Thlayli: current config is in /boot/config-`uname -r` [07:52] DBO: o wow need your help man [07:52] ah [07:52] Thlayli, Ubuntu has simplified things a bit, but you can get under the hood if you really want to... [07:52] Thlayli, there are default kernels, but you can compile your own if you want [07:52] Thlayli, you can use debian tools in ubuntu [07:52] ok... thanks! [07:52] ubuntu, ok? [07:52] that's nice [07:52] anyone know something besides wine [07:52] DBO: thanks joining [07:52] dli: not sure how to? and should I be seeing the other "cell" ? http://pastebin.com/732505 [07:52] so, my last question: how does ubuntu differ from other linux-distros? [07:52] I going to a google search.... [07:52] from suse e.g. [07:52] or from debian [07:53] sakka, it's not a scan problem [07:53] ubuntu, what exactly do you want to do? [07:53] Thlayli, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ubuntu [07:53] Thlayli, well, it's just a nice well-rounded package of all sorts of stuff. but hey, underneath, it's all linux ;) [07:53] Hello can someone help me uninstall webmin completely please? [07:54] thanks for your answers. i think i'll get me an iso now and try it out :) [07:54] dli: ok,cool i wasnt sure [07:54] DBO; had bb server running for 6 months and just resized partition to make room for 6.06 which works fine but when i boot back to 5.10 grt this message , -kernel panic - not syncing - I/O error reading memory image - [07:55] dli: and how to for updateing my kernel? [07:55] oh yes: i nearly forgot! does ubuntu support the ufs filesystem of the BSDs? [07:55] ubuntu, does your 6.06 boot work? [07:55] or how to check what kernel im using? [07:55] or does linux in general? [07:55] ubuntu: 'just' resized partition?? ;) [07:55] Does anyone know of a resume (CV) creator for ubuntu or a plugin for a office program? [07:56] Thlayli: that's a kernel issue - there is some support at least, I believe [07:56] DBO: ep no probs in a live cd just now === guest_ is now known as cary [07:56] amphi; ye resized partition [07:56] hi.............................. [07:56] k, is 5.10 the newest version? [07:56] ubuntu, are you running RAID? [07:57] Thlayli, that is latest stable [07:57] i'll go with that [07:57] Thlayli, 5.10 is the latest stable - 6.06 is currently in beta, will be stable on June 1st [07:57] DBO: no they are both ext3 [07:57] Thlayli, 6.06 comes out June 1 === cary is now known as facang [07:57] Thlayli: in the kernel I have here, write support is said to be 'dangerous' [07:57] ubuntu, did you set up the server originally? [07:57] ah [07:57] good to know [07:57] hi.................................. [07:58] helo............................... [07:58] facang, hello, lay of the ...'s please =) [07:58] sakka, hard, if you don't know how to upgrade your kernel :( try bcm43.sf.net [07:58] asl pls [07:58] uptime, please, facang [07:59] DBO: bb 5-10 server is on hda1 worked fine for ages now for the the first time resized partition for 6.06 on hda2 --now this problem [07:59] facang, this channel is for tech support, not general chat, general chat is at #ubuntu-offtopic [07:59] facang, this isn't a chat channel - try #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [07:59] i dnt get u [07:59] facang, what is your native language? [07:59] dli: thank you for your help ill take a look at that site [07:59] filipino [08:00] thank you all who tried to help, i really appreciate the time [08:00] DBO; no sorry hda1 is bb 5-10 then swap then hda3 is 6.06 [08:00] !ph [08:00] Join #ubuntu-ph for tagalog [08:00] k :) [08:00] which command shows cards in PCI slots? [08:00] ubuntu, are they both using the same swap? [08:00] lspci [08:00] now i gotta wait 45minutes, then I'll install ubuntu [08:00] MM2: lspci [08:01] bimberi, amphi: ty [08:01] i'm quite excited [08:01] haven't tried another OS for years [08:01] DBO; no [08:01] DBO: let me load gparted and take a loo [08:01] ubuntu, it looks like you deleted the swap device bb was using [08:01] Thlayli, cool - welcome to Ubuntu :) [08:02] DBO: maybe just a sec [08:02] ubuntu, along with that can you also get me a copy of /etc/fstab from the bb install? [08:02] DBO: it should still boot without a swap partition [08:03] amphi, yeah, I know it should... [08:03] but experience has taught me that what should and what does can be different... [08:03] DBO: I suspect initrd, but that may be pure prejudice ;) [08:03] amphi, Im trying to avoid going there =P [08:04] DBO: i will mount hda1 andcopy fstab [08:07] amphi, I suspect in the end here we are going to end up chrooting to bb, and seeing what we can do with initrd (reinstall most likely) and perhaps grub [08:08] DBO: aye [08:08] dbq. asl [08:08] ubuntu, also a copy of /boot/grub/menu.list wont hurt [08:08] DBO: could just reinstall the kernel package [08:08] hey [08:09] Howdy... can someone help me out with a GNOME issue? Fresh install of Breezy, get a login screen and a chime, but nothing else! Like that on two installs now... [08:09] sorry, I seem to have lagged out... [08:09] DBO: thanks a mess because there are some stuff that needs deleting anway i will pate all together [08:09] hello [08:09] ubuntu, also a copy of /boot/grub/menu.list wont hurt [08:09] amphi, I suspect in the end here we are going to end up chrooting to bb, and seeing what we can do with initrd (reinstall most likely) and perhaps grub [08:09] DBO; ok [08:10] DBO: could just reinstall the kernel package [08:10] ubuntu, if you have pasted any links, i didnt get them because my ISP is sucking lately [08:10] amphi, yeah I know, Im hesitant to do that from a live boot though... [08:10] i need some info im trying to install a mplayer plugin and when i do cd cd Desktop ls and tar xvzf and hilite the file i get the old option requires an argument whats that mean? [08:10] I've tried installing ubuntu, but on stage where it should install lilo or grub, it fails, and I cant boot it up, [08:10] anyone knows whats with that ? [08:11] DBO: should be ok, chrooted into bb, no? [08:11] amphi, well currently his in knoppix, so we need him to either change his sources or get an ubuntu disc [08:11] hes* [08:11] wait [08:11] I didnt think that through [08:12] i've tried boot up from cd in rescue mode; did that, installed lilo config, did lilo to mbr with success, but the thing still doesnt boot [08:12] ubuntu, you want to just try a shotgun fix and pray it works out? =) [08:14] ... [08:14] does anyone know how to force all menus to have tear off handles (in kde or gnome). I really miss them... [08:15] what sort of transfer speed via samba would I get on a 10base-T network with 3 users? [08:15] DBO: it would seem not... :) [08:15] Hello can someone help me uninstall webmin completely please? [08:15] amphi, its not that I didnt recognize wher this was most like going to end... i just like to check other very abnormal, but dumb things that can cause this issue too... [08:15] =) [08:15] noiesmo: ~1MB/s ? dunno how much overhead smb has [08:16] amphi, what about ssh [08:16] noiesmo, all going at once? [08:16] hi all [08:17] DBO, no file trans from one system to other while the other system surfs the net [08:17] noiesmo, a little under 1MB would be par for the course [08:17] with a Pentium-M processor, I should be running the 686 image? [08:17] cos i just noticed that i'm running the 386 image [08:17] eys [08:18] ...ok, thats it, im fried [08:18] freakabcd: you can, i believe there's a performance difference, not heard anyone saying that it's particularly startling though [08:18] DBO: lol [08:18] freakabcd: won't make a huge difference, probably [08:19] well, i figured its not using some posible shortcuts [08:19] freakabcd, unless your running this on a server thats constantly pegged, you wont really notice =) [08:19] umm.. i might keep this image on it as backup (386) and put the 686 one as well [08:20] isai, [08:20] what is the standard bootmanager of Ubuntu? grub? can i also choose gag during the installation? [08:20] System > Preferences > Menus & Toolbars [08:20] Check the "Detachable Toolbars" option [08:20] Is there any app in ubuntu I can use to test network card problems [08:20] I think that's the one you're looking for [08:20] freakabcd: good idea [08:20] Thlayli: yeah, grub [08:20] Thlayli: yes it's grub, the normal install doesn't offer an option (the "expert" install might though) [08:20] where is the ubuntu boot file again??? the file where you can change startup thingys.. [08:21] hey guys, is it a good idea to install breezy, server only, and then run that update manager to install dapper? [08:21] lewion: /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:21] thx [08:21] needed that :p [08:21] lewion: yw :) [08:22] VR_: the update-manager is a GUI app :| [08:22] >:| [08:22] thanks bimberi [08:22] VR_, you can still do the old fashioned dist-upgrade to get to Dapper [08:22] Madpilot: wouldn't i have to change my sources.list? [08:23] VR_, yes [08:23] how do you kill a process if you know its PID? [08:23] !upgrade [08:23] hmm... upgrade is Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades . Note command line: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the bleeding edge. [08:23] Madpilot: a lot of people advised me against that approach [08:23] VR_: yw :) - yeah server install, change repos, dist-upgrade, install ubuntu-desktop (worth a go i reckon) [08:23] filip_: kill ;) [08:23] amphi, and if it still doesnt' kill it? [08:23] filip_: kill -9 [08:23] kill -9 [08:23] DBO: OK pasted iis there anything else besides fstab and menu.lst ? [08:24] kill -9 [08:24] ketsugi, i don't mean the toolbars, I mean the menus [08:24] and if it still doesn't kill it? [08:24] Oh [08:24] I think that's application dependent [08:24] VR_, I've done the dist-upgrade from Hoary->Dapper, it went fine - your milage may vary... [08:24] filip_: it's a zombie [08:24] Madpilot, bimberi: thanks. [08:24] filip_, if a kill -9 doesnt get it, you got a zombie on your hands which isnt really a process at all and should eventually go away [08:24] hmm...I used to use them all the time a few years ago... [08:24] damn, i have 3 zombie webcam processes [08:25] thx for the menu.lst thingy... i've edited it as i wanted [08:25] cya'all.. [08:25] oh well, thanks anyways ketsugi [08:25] filip_: can you kill the parent process? don't if it's init (pid 1) [08:25] amphi, can you put that in n00bspeak for me? [08:26] i tried to start "webcam" off konsole [08:26] would konsole be the parent process in that sense? [08:27] hey guys [08:27] filip_: they're zombies because the parent process hasn't read their exit status, I believe; if you kill the parent process, they should go away; but if the parent is a process called init, do not kill that [08:27] need help [08:27] how do i find the parent process of a process?

[08:43] scottt106: i found that out by doing '/msg ubotu find id3tag.h' and that file is in the libid3tag0-dev package [08:44] scottt106: you can also do package contents searches via http://packages.ubuntu.com [08:44] bimberi: ok cool, thanks [08:44] somebody please give me command line to chroot into home and command to reinstall kernel pleae , just telephoned work to say i am sick [08:44] hmmm nope no option that I can find [08:45] ubuntu, ? [08:45] sorry [08:46] freakabcd: well its linux [08:47] hi all can anyone help me to compile and install a package 'cvoicecontrol' on ubuntu when i tried to 'make' i got the following error message "ncurses tools.c: no such file or directory" [08:47] bimberi: looks like it worked. thanks for your help [08:47] ubuntu, let us assume you have booted the machine with a livecd (possibly ubuntu). now in a shell you mount your root partition as some mountpoint (perhaps /tmp/testmnt). then you just chroot /tmp/testmnt [08:47] ubuntu, it would be like chroot /mnt/hdax then mount -t proc /proc proc then check /etc/resolv.conf for nameserver then you could apt-get install --reinstall kernel-image [08:47] scottt106: yay, np :) [08:47] ok simple question..i just created a new ext3 partition...how do i mount it writable for users other than root? [08:48] now, its almost the same as being in your regular install except its not runnig that kernel. now you make use of apt with super-cow powers [08:48] hi all can anyone help me to compile and install a package 'cvoicecontrol' on ubuntu?... when i tried 'make' i got the following error message---- "ncurses tools.c: no such file or directory" [08:49] freakabcd: yes i am in live kubuntu cd have monuted hda1 mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt [08:50] does anybodu knows how to change the leanguage of firefox?? [08:50] elknof1, you mean inside firefox when you're viewing some page with another language (perhaps japanese) or do you mean you want to change the language of the firefox menus, tooltips, etc? [08:51] freakabcd: so next what chroot /home? [08:51] ubuntu, err.. you're root is not /home now, its /mnt iirc [08:51] girish, you probably need the ncursers develop package [08:51] thats where you mounted it, no? [08:51] to see avalable pages in ur language ----go to edit --->preferences---->language [08:51] how do i get that or install that noiesmo? [08:52] using synaptic? [08:52] freakabcd: yes I am in root sorry on live cd so again what is command chroot etc? === guest_ is now known as anoe [08:53] girish, apt-get install libncurses5-dev [08:53] ok thank u freaqk ABCD [08:53] girish, err.. ok synaptic. search for libncurses [08:53] hi...................... [08:53] there should be the dev package [08:53] ok thanx freak [08:53] ok [08:53] ? [08:54] How do I configure apache2 to use SSL(https)? [08:54] girish, not sure exact pack name but do sudo apt-cache search ncurse [08:54] granden, cd /etc/httpd/conf.d; vim ssl.conf [08:54] hey [08:54] anyone help me completely remove webmin , i am lost and this is my first day on linux ;) please [08:54] or perhaps vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and comment out the line with Listen 80 [08:54] dli: i used that command, and it didn't fix the error... ? [08:54] girish, sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev [08:55] wat does the command sudo apt-get install build-essentials do? [08:55] chroot /mnt/home or what ? [08:55] ok noiesmo [08:55] it installs some essential build tools [08:55] could someone make me a recommendation on a window manager? I'm looking to have no window decorations but still maintain a focus-follows-mouse model. Ratpoison would be perfect had I been able to enable focus follows mouse for it [08:55] freakabcd: Ok I will have a look thanks [08:55] superm1, i'm biased, so: e17 ;) [08:56] superm1: a clean fluxbox with eterm without borders? [08:56] superm1, you can set those up in fluxbox, blackbox, openbox, etc. [08:56] for some reason my graphics reverted to mesa from ATI, how do i fix/troubleshoot this? [08:56] freakabcd: ? [08:56] well id completely agree with you freakabcd, but the purpose is kinda exlclusive here [08:56] freakabcd: I dont have /etc/httpd/conf.d but I got /etc/apache2/conf.d/ but no ssl conf [08:56] superm1, you wan only focus follows mouse, with simple window deco? then *box is your answer iirc [08:56] I run an xgl session on :1, but need a window manager on :0 that doesn't decorate, so I can launch video players on :0 and still be able to focus back to :1 [08:57] so if there is "any" window decorations, xgl gets a little weireded out [08:57] so I can disable decorations alltogeyther on the box? [08:57] would changing any /sbin/init affect my graphics card [08:57] granden, i dunno how ubuntu does it. will try to help if possible. ok in /etc/apache2/conf.d/httpd.conf comment out 'Listen 80' unless you want both http and https running [08:58] QUESTION: (please help!) my ubuntu computer connects to the internet via wireless router and proxy server running on a windows computer. Very ofter.. i get an error on the ubuntu computer "Connection Refused"... it just drops out :S now the problem isn't the proxy server or the router because they both worked fine on windows 2000... any ideas? [08:58] freakabcd: so were here ubuntu:root# chroot /mnt/ ? [08:58] freakabcd: I think I know how to do it. [08:58] You gave me a good hint [08:58] thanks a lot [08:58] cool, you're good to go then :) [08:58] superm1: xgl can't handle window decorations? [08:58] ubuntu, yup [08:58] /etc/apache2/mods-available they got [08:58] and ssl.load and ssl.conf is there [08:58] yep as in ok thats correct? [08:58] just tweak it and load it I guess [08:58] well it can, but if your running it in a gdm session then its sort of like a nested x server [08:59] and if you decorate a fullscreen nested x server things don't work or look right [08:59] what would cause all of a sudden ati to revert back to mesa? [08:59] superm1: uhuh [08:59] rob138: missing kernel modules? [09:00] annyone? [09:00] so I *do* decorate the session in Xgl, but I still need to manage the xgl "window" [09:00] amphi, what would cause those to go missing all of a sudden? would an alien rpm - deb package do something? [09:00] Kane666, you using a firewall, or wep, or anything? [09:00] freakabcd: no i have issued command chroot /mnt/ what comes next please [09:00] cya later guys & gals :) but next time I'll have a Breezy Badger running on my system ;) [09:00] Kane666, what sowfware are u using for wireless? [09:00] aftertaf: there is a firewall on my windows computer (Zonealarm) no security on ubuntu.. and no encryprtion [09:00] excuse me folks, is there anyone having trouble with unix_chkpwd? stracing that thing shows that it doesn't even touch /etc/shadow to verify any passwords, but simply bails out and gives an authorization failed to cups. that's drapper. [09:01] hi all i still get error saying it cannot find functions "waddch", "wattr_off" etc..... related to ncurses? [09:02] aftertaf: what do you mean what software for wireless? [09:02] hi all i still get error saying it cannot find functions "waddch", "wattr_off" etc..... related to ncurses? [09:02] Kane666, do you have any specific ports open on zonealarm? [09:02] amphi, i'll try a different kernel [09:02] Kane666, what drivers, i mean... :) [09:02] ubuntu, ok. apt-get --reinstall install linux-image [09:02] is anyone having problems with a pciexpress nvidia card? [09:02] or whatver the kernel package you have installed is [09:02] i don;t remember the name accurately [09:02] hi all i still get error saying it cannot find functions "waddch", "wattr_off" etc..... related to ncurses? [09:02] aftertaf: no specific ports... only the ones that i need (and worked when i was on windows 2000) [09:02] freakabcd: How long will you be here? [09:02] aftertaf: im using Ralink drivers for my d-link g510 (i think it is.. ?) [09:02] girish: would you please stop repeating [09:02] freakabcd: just 100% as you have typed? [09:02] maybe there are prts needed open between linux and your router [09:02] I gota go but be back in an hour or so and would need some more help with ssl [09:02] ok sorry therp [09:02] or are you gone then? [09:02] freakabcd: * [09:02] aftertaf: do you know what ports? [09:03] Kane666, install guarddog and disable firewalling.... just to test; [09:03] ubuntu, i beieve so. just to be sure: dpks-query -l 'linux*' [09:03] therp: can u help me? [09:03] granden, i'm here alright [09:03] Kane666, no i dont, :/ [09:03] what are you doing? [09:03] girish: definately not [09:03] aftertaf: whats guarddog? [09:03] freakabcd: Im going to school [09:03] uh. ok. Do I have to go to school too? :( [09:03] but I will continue to work on my server in school, on the server I am setting upp apache to only use ssl [09:03] Kane666, a gui firewall management tool. [09:03] freakabcd: :) [09:04] what did you want to tell me, again? [09:04] aftertaf: do you know the command or do i just search in synaptic? [09:04] I need help setting upp apache2 with ssl [09:04] girish: what gives this error? [09:04] sudo apt-get install / or synaptic, yeah ;) [09:04] ok, and this is at school? how long will you take to get to school? [09:04] aftertaf: lol i'll search in synaptic ;) [09:05] dpkg -L gives you the files for a package. what was the inverse again? packages for file names? [09:05] anyone knows y i get error message saying that it cannot find references to 'stdscr', 'wgetch', etc wen i tried to make the package c voice control [09:05] I've got a question, if anyone feels like answering; how do I configure my soundcard to play from multiple sources? [09:05] freakabcd: 1h and 15 minutes [09:05] amphi: i get error message saying that it cannot find references to 'stdscr', 'wgetch', etc wen i tried to make the package c voice control [09:05] Kane666, ok, install it then run it. then deactivate firewall and see it that helps.... [09:05] you could just drop a pm with the basics and I can have a look at it when I get there [09:05] granden, do not fret mon ami, #apache is always here to help even if i'm not around :) [09:05] girish: what gives those errors, the linker? [09:05] mon ami. lol [09:05] yeah thats true [09:05] cya [09:05] I gota run to my buss now [09:05] aftertaf: in synaptic.. the description says its for KDE.. doesn it matter that im on gnome? [09:06] Kane666, no matter.... [09:06] itll grab a few extra libraries.... thats all. [09:06] amphi: i did './configure' in the package folder....i got no errors then i did 'make' then i got those errors [09:06] aftertaf: lol i cant download it.. its 22MB and im on 41kb/s dial-up [09:07] freakabcd: ok just to recap i have invoked chroot /mnt/ now how from inside hda1 do i issue the command dpkg-query - i linux [09:07] -l [09:07] Kane666, argh. [09:08] 41kb/s == 15 mins right? [09:08] ubuntu, after you have done the chroot. echo $PATH. /usr/bin should be there. if not add it and you should be able to run dpkg-query [09:08] ubuntu, chrooting :) nice one. good luck .... :] [09:08] aftertaf: thats my connection speed.. my download speed is like 2kb/s [09:08] lol ;) [09:08] arghhhh! [09:08] Kane666, what package are you trying to get [09:08] ? [09:08] lol [09:08] ok. [09:09] good luck is what i need [09:09] freakabcd, its to deactivate iptables completely. no firewall. [09:09] Hello. I'm looking to turn my old computer into a media player. Mythtv seems a bit overpoverd since I won't be doing any recording. So what other full screen media players are there? (To be controlled by a remote controll). [09:09] freakabcd: aftertaf recommended to download guarddog to try and solve my connection problem.. look up higher to see my msg about the problem [09:09] haffe, mplayer, xine..? with Lirc [09:09] aftertaf, huh? to deactivate it, you need to _install_ some package? [09:09] what the heck for? [09:10] aftertaf: Last time I checked mplayer was rather complicated to use in fullscreen mode. [09:10] freakabcd, not exactly.... seemed the 'easiest' way between noobs ;) [09:10] mplayer is simple :) [09:10] freakabcd: heres the original question... my ubuntu computer connects to the internet via wireless router and proxy server running on a windows computer. Very ofter.. i get an error on the ubuntu computer "Connection Refused"... it just drops out :S now the problem isn't the proxy server or the router because they both worked fine on windows 2000... any ideas? [09:10] freakabcd: are you asking me to iuuse the command echo $PATH /usr/bin ? [09:10] Ok. Next question why is Kmplayer but not regular mplayer in dapper? [09:10] has anyone used easyubuntu? [09:10] ubuntu, just type: dpkg-query [09:11] does it run? [09:11] haffe, with universe & multiverse? [09:11] aftertaf: Yes. [09:12] ubuntu, this is another machine i assume (from the one you are using for this irc session) [09:12] haffe, pool/multiverse/m/mplayer/ [09:12] Filename: pool/multiverse/m/mplayer/mplayer_0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8_i386.deb [09:12] .... can annyone help me with my connection problem? [09:13] ? [09:13] Kane666, can you not look at the logs of the proxy server on the win box ? [09:13] freakabcd, whats the quick way to allow everything in iptables? [09:13] freakabcd: i disabled logging... :S [09:14] anybody here know how to use gnuplot for curve fitting? [09:14] freakabcd, Kane666 my idea was to make sure its not a firewall/port problem before blaming WIFI [09:15] aftertaf: im not blamming wifi.. my wifi worked just fine in windows 2000 so it must be an ubuntu problem [09:15] iptables -F [09:15] ... or so one would think [09:15] that will flush all rules on all chains if no chain is specified [09:15] Kane666, could be a wifi under linux problem. === mumbles is now known as mumbles-work [09:15] aftertaf; [09:16] aftertaf: but my connection doesn't 'drop out' because if i use iwconfig ra0 i can see my connection to my AP [09:16] which "overlay filesystem" is used by the ubuntu live cd? [09:16] Kane666, so not wifi, priori. [09:16] aftertaf: huh? [09:16] i thought is was unionfs (like in knoppix) but it isn't [09:17] freakabcd yes dpkg-query -l gives the whole list in ubuntu and there are a few kernel images the one i want is lnux-image-2.6.12-10-686-smp so here we go thecommand is apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-2.6.12-10-686-smp? [09:17] ubuntu, you on live cd cos your kernel wont boot anymore? [09:18] yes on live cd [09:18] Live CDs for the wiN! [09:18] !java [09:18] To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs [09:18] ubuntu, looks correct to me [09:18] !javadebs [09:18] In Breezy: j2re1.4 is in multiverse. In Dapper: sun-j2re-1.5.0 is in multiverse [09:18] aftertaf: lease do not give me a heart attach [09:19] freakabcd: well here we go [09:19] lol ubuntu just wondering, cos i did same as you for that reason [09:19] ubuntu, if it doesn;t work, possibly due to network setup. check that the network interface is activated and resolv.conf has the dns info [09:20] hello [09:20] can some one please help me [09:20] hello [09:20] somebody is here? [09:20] !ask [09:21] NF4, not possible until you specify your problem and what you expect to happen [09:21] bah, what's the point of that going to private messages. [09:21] aftertaf: Well would you look at that, turns out I had forgot to enable multiverse. [09:21] hehe [09:21] tin_nqn, yes there are many of us here [09:21] I was useing this guide http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780&highlight=lm-sensors and at step three after I answered yes to every thing the system just shut down and not itw wont POST [09:21] excelent! [09:21] freakabcd: what do you mean i am in a live cd ok I will not do it just yet because the way I installed the kernel was from a script i have a briged vmware network o my god [09:21] hi, im testing out ubuntu, the only thing i dislike is this middle resize button ... i tried to find out in the faq if i can change it to the right button but didn't find ... any links ? [09:21] cam, window manager config. [09:21] ubuntu, huh? [09:21] Thanks aftertaf [09:22] on hda1 [09:22] ...if annyone said anything to me in the last 2-3 minutes i didn't get it because i lost my connection... (im not even sure if it showed my as disconnected?) [09:22] freakabcd: what does this reinstall do apart from the obvoius [09:22] ubuntu, did it work or not? [09:22] ubuntu, nothing special [09:22] just a sec [09:22] just what it says [09:22] NF4, looking at the guide now [09:23] thank you [09:23] I am on amd64 [09:23] if it didn;t work for some reason, theres another method we can try [09:23] aftertaf, thanks [09:23] well... tomorrow night I have to help a friend with his "crashed" notebook.. [09:23] NF4, what is the pb now? pc wont boot? [09:23] Kane666, yes you disconnected and reconnected [09:23] yeah it wont POST [09:23] sudo: unable to look up gethostname() -- my friend gets this error when merely trying to open a file, or perform many other operations, but seems to only get this from sudo. [09:23] aftertaf: what was that you where saying about iptables..? [09:23] NF4, serious? [09:23] What's up with that? [09:23] freakabcd: ok thanks ;) [09:23] Kane666, if you want to flush all rules: iptables -F [09:24] now I cleared the cmos and that redused it to one light meaning video card not detected [09:24] then its the same as not running any firewall [09:24] kuja: his host file is screwed up. he can boot into single user mode (that's the "recovery mode" at the grub menu) and fix it that way. [09:24] freakabcd: will that do anything 'bad'? or do you think it will solve my problem? [09:24] Flannel: Anything specific to look for? [09:24] the question is... Is a run an ubuntu live cd from this notebook... how can I see its disks from my desktop machine? [09:25] Kane666, it will not do anything bad. it will do as _specified_ :: flush the rules for all chains. i.e. disable the firewall [09:25] Can anyone help me, I can't even open synaptic, terminal, or other applications, don't know what is going on! [09:25] kuja: he needs to have his hostname in it. basically. you'll see a line with localhost on it, whatever comes up after the @ (like SoAndSo@ubuntu: at bash prompts) should also be on that line [09:25] if you want ti reenabled, use the firewall scripts you might have in init.d [09:25] I'm a very newbie. I think my router can be useful to set a net, but I don't know how config it. [09:25] NF4, try reflashing your bios. [09:26] freakabcd: will that solve the 'connection refused' problem? (sorry if im being pushy but this is starting to give me the s*#!s) [09:26] <`qq`> Taru, how do you enter this channel? [09:26] Kane666, i dunno if it will solve the problem, but it will flush all the firewall rules. i.e. you're machine will not have a firewall (untill rebooted or firewall started manually) [09:26] Kane666, it might, it might not. we want you to test so we know as well as you if it works... could be different things.... ;) [09:26] i was wondering if anybody has used easyubuntu [09:27] aftertaf, hmmm what do u mean by window manager config ? [09:27] cam, under gnome,not sure, but in kde you can configure your window manager settings to have whatever buttons you want, where you want. [09:27] same in gnome somewhere. [09:27] aftertaf, freakabcd: i will try it shortly.. im updating my synaptic sources so i dont want that to stuff up .. ;) [09:27] Taru: Okay, this is what you should do -- Reboot, and press ESC real fast before Linux boots (when it's giving the littler timer). Then chooser the Recovery Mode, and edit /etc/hosts (sudo nano /etc/hosts) so that your hostname is in it (I think you set it up as "ubuntu"). Mine looks like this: "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost shugotenshi", so yours should be similar. [09:27] thaks I might do that [09:28] NF4, worth a try.... :/ [09:28] I will do the long cmos clear and see that helps [09:28] kuja, ok [09:28] aftertaf, yeah i see. Im using the gnome atm :/ [09:28] Taru: Make sure yours is identical to mine, except that "shugotenshi" is "ubuntu" [09:28] I dont get how these sensors could have messed the mainboard up [09:28] cam, open the config module and rummage around, its there ;) [09:28] NF4, spooky !! [09:28] hey guys [09:29] got a grub problem [09:29] At least I had it running for three days with no problems [09:29] ChrisLTD, fire away [09:29] Hmm. A new problem. [09:29] It seems my ipod no longer automounts. [09:31] I got a new HD, cloned my C drive over to the new HD... Ubuntu is on my second disk... untouched... but now that the clone is finished Grub doesn't load at all... only the Windows boot loader [09:31] question make sense? [09:31] ChrisLTD, live cd, chroot, install grub [09:31] answer any use? :) [09:31] ermm [09:31] aftertaf, cant find it :/ where is it ? [09:31] not sure [09:31] freakabcd: i sent you a pm... [09:31] what happened to grub though? was it part of the MBR of my old C drive? [09:32] why would it have not transfered with the clone? [09:32] freakabcd: its aking need to get 19.4mb of archive after unpacking 0b of additidinal disk space wil be used yes or no? [09:33] freakabcd, aftertaf: this is the output of the iptables -F command.. [09:33] FATAL: Error inserting ip_tables (/lib/modules/2.6.12-9-386/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko): Operation not permitted [09:33] iptables v1.3.1: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root) [09:33] Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. [09:33] Kane666, use sudo [09:33] oh right ... [09:33] cam, i dunno, not in gnome... :/ [09:33] well it done it [09:33] cam, search in gnome help for window manager settings [09:34] Flannel: He says he's still getting that lousy error trying to open a file from recovery mode. [09:34] ubuntu: this still your kernel package?? [09:34] kuja: he shouldnt. In recovery mode he doesn't need to sudo, he's already root. [09:34] Flannel: Oh okay [09:34] can someone help me with installing real player [09:34] !real [09:34] Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, aftertaf [09:34] !realplayer [09:34] well, realplayer is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats [09:35] amphi : look at http://pastebin.ca/58300 [09:35] ubuntu: I hear and obey ;) [09:35] amphi; sory please look at [09:35] ubuntu: so the answer to my question was 'yes', as is your answer to apt [09:35] does anyone know how to install real player on ubuntu exactly? [09:36] ubuntu: what have you been doing all this time ;) [09:36] amphi; worrying about what i might loose [09:36] Isaiah_the_Marty, there is helix.... ive never got it fully working though, that OR realplayer. [09:37] i dont have a working pci card for it so i cant connect to the internet [09:37] ubuntu: you're only reinstalling the kernel [09:37] its a real bitch [09:37] amphi: so here we go I know but its just me [09:37] ubuntu: heh [09:37] ubuntu, there isnt any danger, except a power cut in the middle....

[09:53] kuja: cat /etc/hosts [09:54] kuja: why does he not talk with us directly? ;) [09:54] He's really new to this, and he's in recovery mode. [09:54] <`qq`> thedvl: do u have internet connection?

[09:59] kuja: cause what? [09:59] amphi: It to be abnormal [09:59] kuja: pilot error? sunspots? [10:00] :S [10:00] amphi: No, the /etc/hosts :) [10:00] kuja: yes, pilot error? sunspots? htf should I know? [10:00] :( [10:00] kuja: what did he do? [10:00] Installed a f'ed up Ubuntu. [10:01] As in, the CD was totally screwed up, but got through enough stages to boot into his working distribution. [10:01] kuja: what was the output of ls -l /etc/hosts ? I want to know why it's red; I wondered if it was a dangling symlink? [10:01] amphi: "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2006-05-23 11:55 /etc/hosts -> /var/state/lessdisks/etc/hosts" [10:02] kuja: aha! the game is afoot! [10:02] :O [10:02] wtf is lessdisks? [10:02] hey [10:02] no idea [10:02] amphi it did not work [10:02] amphi: apt-cache show lessdisks [10:02] ubuntu: heheh - look at initrd-tools then perhaps === pepsi_ is now known as pepsi [10:03] amphi hehe yes so what to do next please [10:04] kuja: for now, he could just remove /etc/hosts symlink pointing to non-exixtent file, and make a new one [10:04] ubuntu: 'did not work' is not an error message [10:04] amphi: k [10:05] amphi ok just a sec [10:05] kuja: make a new /etc/hosts text file, not another symlink [10:05] yep [10:05] what are some other media players ubuntu comes with?

[10:09] no [10:09] have you tried another media player? [10:10] i tried xine and mplayer [10:10] ubuntu: see the docs for initrd-tools [10:10] i tried installing real player but the installation package wouldnt execute [10:10] well i am here with another problem [10:11] amphi : thanks for your thoughts and sugestions yes i will , but to be honest I not saying i am going to give up its just seems a uphill struggle [10:11] everytime i restart or turn off computer, my reslov.conf blanks [10:11] resolv.conf [10:11] so when i turn it up, i have no DNS server set [10:12] Question... how do I install TTF fonts? [10:12] i have a pci modem but i dont know how to install it [10:12] !fonts [10:12] well, fonts is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FontInstallHowto [10:12] ubuntu: I think if you recreate the initrd img it will work [10:13] amphi; yes i hope so to [10:13] !modem [10:13] I heard modem is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto [10:13] how have cedega ?

[10:17] perl? [10:17] Isaiah_the_Marty, a perl of knowledge is that python is cool [10:17] ompaul: well ok maybe firm but fair? [10:17] The Breezy live CD hangs on "Starting Enterprise Volume Management System", log shows "root: register-modules" and it's not possible to activate console. Anyone had this problem? I've seen it twice. [10:17] lol [10:18] Flannel: Modified /etc/hosts but still getting that error :( [10:18] ubuntu thanks, :-) [10:18] kuja: what error?

[10:21] ubuntu: dunno - perhaps someone else here knows how to recreate your initrd img [10:21] Zirland: if you want to do something magical with resolv.conf, it's best to put it in a script that launches when your network comes up [10:21] ompaul: is there a wiki or hoto about inrid-tools please [10:21] ubuntu: man mkinitrd would be a place to start otherwise [10:21] ompaul: yes i set it [10:21] you can do some clever stuff, like pinging a host to check what network you're on :) [10:21] Remy_: ~/.bashrc [10:22] amphi: yes thanks [10:22] RandolphCarter: the only magic i want to do is "leave it alone!" [10:22] ubuntu: also /usr/share/doc/initrd-tools [10:22] ringe - thanks [10:23] ubuntu no promises but have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelHowTos [10:23] my internet connection do not work unless i set DNS again everytime I turn up the comp.

[10:31] <`qq`> coz you have intel-32bit proc [10:32] noone? [10:32] is ubuntu debian? [10:32] flaccid: are you your own mother? [10:32] <`qq`> well, this sort of things usually end up with x86 [10:33] <`qq`> IA64 is for Intel-64bit proc [10:33] yes your right [10:33] thanks qq [10:33] heheh hey qq [10:34] found this http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=19509&vote=bad&tan=18081203&PHPSESSID=d2d5758cb74e13b9ce1ceb58576fe2df [10:34] use alien to convert to .deb and it works :-p just installed it myself [10:35] Hey there [10:35] i hope not, otherwise i've been putting up with lies [10:36] what does ubuntu use for package management and what is the extension of package? [10:36] flaccid: dpkg/apt .deb [10:36] .deb is debian? [10:36] flaccid: :P .deb yeah, debian packages [10:37] flaccid: yes, ubuntu is based on debian ;) [10:37] ok cool [10:37] I double clicked a .deb and file roller started and said archive not supported - how are you supposed to install them. [10:37] <`qq`> b1zz: qcomicbook huh? [10:37] but Ubuntu pretty much spawned from Debian, the question "is ubuntu Debian" is like asking "are you your own mother" though ^_^ [10:37] <`qq`> sounds cool [10:37] Hello I am curious on how i would get a certain application when i click the x , to minimize itself to the tray!? [10:37] what is the advantage of ubuntu then? [10:37] drm, sudo dpkg --install thepackage.deb [10:38] if I recall correctly. [10:38] This DapperDrake XUbuntu is awsome. Just.. Awesome. [10:38] yeah qq im reading a pred comic book atm :-p [10:38] flaccid: faster release cycles, better support (imho), more polished, ... [10:39] Hello I am curious on how i would get a certain application when i click the x , to minimize itself to the tray!? [10:39] ok then [10:39] I say... is there any reason anyone can think of that packages installed using the synaptic package manager wouldn't turn up on the system? [10:40] flaccid: just google on "ubuntu vs debian" :) [10:40] thanks y0 [10:40] i'm actually keen on getting kubuntu [10:41] does anybody know how can I enable all chennels in my Sound Blaster card (now playing only one channel)? [10:42] can anyone acknowledge the question? [10:43] adrigen: Yes. You probably expect things installed on the "system" to appear in the menus. Not always so. This is not Windows. [10:44] That said, the package you installed probably is a library or a command line program. [10:45] adrigen: dpkg -L will show you what files a package installed [10:45] adrigen: You should use the add/remove in the applications menu instead [10:45] ringe: ok i will try. [10:45] amphi: on the command line, yes. Might be he's not used to it. [10:46] ringe: it's g++. I guess I dont know what to expect when it is installed. [10:46] Anyone tried fixing NTFS problems on Ubuntu? I can't boot windows anymore. [10:47] Any chance of this new Novell distribution system making it to Ubuntu at some point? [10:47] adrigen: How did you come upon that package in the first place? [10:47] ringe: currently the application menu doesnt have a programming section... it is greyed out in the 'menu editor'. is there a way to activate it? [10:47] ringe: [joke] You should be happy!! [/joke] [10:48] Knelix: I am. :) It's not my Windows. Customers. [10:48] ringe: AH! [10:48] Yikes! [10:48] adrigen: use the menu editor again. [10:49] adrigen: If you greyed that out: Push Alt+F2, then write "alacarte" and push run [10:50] adr
