[07:34] <hateball> Daisuke_Laptop, Jordan_U, unop : I'll take a look at what's best for me, cheers
[07:34] <unop> Uplink, like this.   cd /usr/local/sara/ && sudo perl ./sara
[07:35] <Uplink> unop, thats weird... but ok ty =D
[07:35] <trikdo> Jordan_U: where at?
[07:35] <FAJALOU> i am trying to see a vista computer from my ubuntu machine.  It does not show up in the workgroup but if i manually type in the ip address (smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/users) i can see some files... how can i just get the vista machine to show up in network?
[07:35] <adrian_2002ca> hey guys and gals!
[07:35] <unop> pajamian, the script is looking for files relative to some directory .. but the directory containing $0 is not in @INC
[07:36] <adrian_2002ca> FAJALOU: did you share something?
[07:36] <tarwatirn1> ogzy: what does ifconfig eth0 say?
[07:36] <FAJALOU> adrian_2002ca: if i type in smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/users i can see files,,, why doesn't it just show up?
[07:36] <adrian_2002ca> FAJALOU: same workgroup too? did you check?
[07:36] <HAL9000> FAJALOU: I just bookmark the share in nautilus when connected with smb//ip of vista/sharename
[07:37] <adrian_2002ca> FAJALOU: it's finniky, I know because I've done this...
[07:37] <zcat[1]> FAJALOU: if you have firestarter set up, allow broadcast traffic as well as the samba ports.. otherwise just wait, SMB is a weird protocol and machines can take 15 minutes to announce themselves to the master browser and start showing up.
[07:37] <Uplink> whats the command to dns resolve for IPs?
[07:37] <Uplink> like nslookup on windows
[07:37] <tarwatirn1> trikdo: like this is what he means http://paste.ubuntu.com/37647/
[07:37] <unop> Uplink, pajamian, if you ask me, this script was written by someone who doesn't know perl very well .. to fix the program i would introduce this at line #13.   push @INC, '/usr/local/sara/'
[07:37] <FAJALOU> adrian_2002ca:  same work group yes
[07:37] <ogzy> tarwatirn1, how many times are yo ugoing to ask this? i replied it: SIOCSIFFLAGS Invalid argument
[07:37] <Jordan_U> trikdo: Maybe you missed my earlier comment, to disable tap clicking entirely add     Option "MaxTapTime" "0"    to    section "InputDevice" in your xorg.conf ( create the section if it does not already exist )
[07:38] <Uplink> unop, should i write it?
[07:38] <FAJALOU> zcat[1]: i do have firestarter;
[07:38] <pajamian> unop: $0 is the program name, not the startup directory.
[07:38] <Bubulle> Uplink, host example.com
[07:38] <unop> Uplink, yea, edit the file and add that line in
[07:38] <adrian_2002ca> FAJALOU: ok...i don't know, rebooting somethimes helps...if not try just places network or connect to server
[07:38] <tarwatirn1> umm what about ifconfig with no arguments
[07:38] <Uplink> unop, the sara script? line #13?
[07:38] <Bubulle> Uplink, or dig example.com if you need detail about the DNS request
[07:38] <unop> pajamian, indeed .. but read what i said properly :)  "directory containing $0 .. "
[07:38] <Uplink> Bubulle, ty
[07:38] <FAJALOU> zcat[1]:  how can i set up what you sai?
[07:39] <bazhang> ogzy, what does ifconfig show two entries or three
[07:39] <pajamian> unop: ahhh, yes, I see what you're saying.
[07:39] <ogzy> bazhang, just lo
[07:39] <zcat[1]> FAJALOU: well, a common problem with SMB is that it uses broadcast packets for machines to announce themselves, and TCP for them to actually connect. If you enable the TCP ports but not broadcast trffic, you will see what you describe, you can connect by IP but the machine never shows up in the network browser
[07:39] <Vegombrei> i have windows xp running on another partition .. i recently installed ubuntu and seem to like it and wish to get rid of windows .. thing is its on the primary hdd thats partitioned . how do i remove the partition format the hdd and have it to boot from ubuntu all the time
[07:39] <unop> Uplink, yea, gksudo gedit /usr/local/sara/sara  .. and add   push @INC, '/usr/local/sara/';  just after line #12
[07:39] <Uplink> Bubulle, WTH!? how come when i type "host is-thatt-you.com" shows my loopback address?
[07:39] <ogzy> bazhang, eth0 ıs not up the problem is that so i dont see it at ifconfig but ifconfig eth0 shows some output though
[07:39] <lonejack> today (but not only today) update manager gives me 11 update to do. The problem is that it is proposing updates "not authenticated" on sw like : linux-image-<IP_ADDRESS>-generic, is it correct?
[07:40] <lonejack> thank you
[07:40] <pajamian> unop: it appears to me that the script is based on something very old, probably from perl 5.0 days.
[07:40] <bazhang> ogzy, could you pastebin that if more than one line
[07:40] <pajamian> ...or earlier
[07:40] <Bubulle> Uplink, you may not have DNS entryes in /etc/resolv.conf or not internet link up, so it default to the /etc/hosts file query
[07:40] <Uplink> unop, i closed the link, whats after line #12
[07:40] <Vegombrei> bazhang: dude could ya help me with my issue ?
[07:40] <tarwatirn1> ogzy: did you prepend sudo to ifconfig eth0 up?
[07:40] <ogzy> bazhang, which output do you need?
[07:41] <bazhang> Vegombrei, what are you trying to do
[07:41] <unop> pajamian, it's mandating  the use of perl 5.8.1;  .. though, it's written horribly wrong .. no use of strict and warnings
[07:41] <Jordan_U> lonejack: That should only happen if you have added a third party repository without adding it's public key ( to ensure that you are downloading from who they claim to be )
[07:41] <zcat[1]> FAJALOU: in the firestarter preferences, 'advanced options' the default is to filter broadcast packets. Uncheck those options.
[07:41] <bazhang> ogzy, whatever output you get related to ifconfig eth0
[07:41] <unop> Uplink, gksudo gedit /usr/local/sara/sara  .. and add   push @INC, '/usr/local/sara/';  just after line #12
[07:41] <pajamian> unop: yeah, good point, though the #! probably came from the installer.  and I agree it's pretty bad.
[07:42] <ogzy> tarwatirn1, if i didnt become root before ifconfig it wont give Invalid argument, it will say this should be run as root, so skip this sudo ifconfig eth0 up part, i tried it and it gave the error
[07:42] <FAJALOU> zcat[1]: uncheck "block broadcasts from external networks" ?
[07:42] <ogzy> bazhang, i wrote the output but, just one line and said Invalid argument
[07:42] <FAJALOU> ooooo ok
[07:42] <bazhang> ogzy, only works with sudo?
[07:42] <zcat[1]> FAJALOU: yep. On a typical DSL or cable modem network your 'external network' is your LAN..
[07:42] <lonejack> Jordan_U: my only third party sw is: http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu
[07:42] <pajamian> unop: oh, and you're referring to the require line for 5.8.1, I'm guessing the original version of it is old, but it's been updated to need 5.8.1
[07:42] <unop> pajamian, no, i didn't make the assumption based on the shebang but  the  require 5.8.1;  on line 15
[07:42] <ogzy> bazhang, and at the dmesg i dont see any info message saying eth0 link is up
[07:43] <FAJALOU> zcat[1]: but in this case it is the wlan network?
[07:43] <ogzy> bazhang, i am runnign commands as root, i had written sudo su
[07:43] <zcat[1]> FAJALOU: just uncheck both, it ought to be safe enough ;)
[07:43] <jigp> !traffic shapping
[07:43] <bazhang> ogzy, sorry, I came in late; care to answer a couple of questions?
[07:43] <Jordan_U> lonejack: Well that seems to have kernel packages, why did you add it?
[07:43] <jigp> !traffic
[07:43] <bazhang> jigp, use firestarter
[07:43] <Bubulle> !qos
[07:43] <FAJALOU> zcat[1]:  PM?
[07:44] <zcat[1]> FAJALOU: no
[07:44] <Uplink> unop, it looks like this now http://paste.ubuntu.com/37651/
[07:44] <Finnish> What's the best way to burn a system disk in K3b?
[07:44] <bazhang> jigp, and /msg ubottu if you are looking
[07:44] <unop> Uplink, yep, that's fine .. it should work now when called from anywhere
[07:44] <Vegombrei> bazhang: my hardware consists two individual hdd's .. one 250 and one 80 .. both sata .. my 250 is primary drive .. which is partitioned one partition has xp and the other is just storage .. thing is i installed ubuntu on the secondary 80gb hdd .. now that ive been using ubuntu for almost a month i think i wanna get rid of windows .. so basically i wanna format the entire 250 but my issue is i think since ubuntu is on the secondary hdd will it boot ???
[07:44] <Uplink> unop, ty very very much buddy =]
[07:44] <Jordan_U> Finnish: Do you mean a bootable disk?
[07:44] <lonejack> Jordan_U: is not correct that repository?
[07:44] <trikdo> OK, so I've tried both your suggestions and neither worked... Pretty much whatever I add, is not being recognized at all. Am I missing something?
[07:45] <jigp> bazhang im looking for CLI not gui
[07:45] <Finnish> Jordan_U: I'm about to burn ubuntu image
[07:45] <bazhang> Vegombrei, where is grub located
[07:45] <ogzy> bazhang, ok what kind of answer do you need ?
[07:45] <zcat[1]> FAJALOU: broadcast packets are pretty harmless, I wouldn't be too concerned about not filtering them even on a real-world interface anyhow..
[07:45] <Finnish> .iso
[07:45] <lonejack> Jordan_U: do I have to remove it?
[07:45] <Jordan_U> Finnish: Just burn the iso, it'll be bootable
[07:45] <bazhang> Vegombrei, ie on the mbr of the first disk?
[07:45] <Finnish> Ok
[07:45] <Bubulle> Vegombrei, formatting or repartitionning the primary disk wont kill the Grub boot loader.
[07:45] <FAJALOU> zcat[1]:  ok... so in policies, should i just enable any packets from <IP_ADDRESS>?
[07:45] <Vegombrei> bazhang: whats grub
[07:45] <bazhang> Vegombrei, the bootloader for linux/ubuntu
[07:46] <zcat[1]> FAJALOU: yes, or from the whole <IP_ADDRESS>/16 range if you want..
[07:46] <FAJALOU> !grub > Vegombrei
[07:46] <bazhang> ogzy, this is for ethernet right? what chipset on that
[07:47] <molecule> how do i find my computer's mac address?
[07:47] <FAJALOU> zcat[1]:  in policies how can i allow any connection from <IP_ADDRESS>-<IP_ADDRESS>?
[07:47] <Jordan_U> lonejack: I am not sure, I don't know what the purpose of that repo is, but if you don't know why you added it it probably don't need it ( but you shouldn't just go around adding random repos in the first place )
[07:47] <sagredo> molecule: ls -hw
[07:47] <bazhang> Vegombrei, is the 250gb internal? perhaps you may wish to save whatever files you have from windows before doing anything else
[07:47] <molecule> ty
[07:47] <zcat[1]> my firewall allows everything from 0/0 .. I only installed firestarter cos I'm too lazy to set up nAT by hand ;)
[07:47] <trikdo> ...this is straight up not working! It's as if my computer's mind is set and I can not change it!
[07:47] <FAJALOU> zcat[1]: but still...  in policies how can i allow any connection from <IP_ADDRESS>-<IP_ADDRESS>?
[07:48] <bazhang> jigp, then use iptables for cli
[07:48] <Bubulle> molecule, ethernet interfaces have MAC addresses, ifconfig eth0 will show you eth0 mac address
[07:48] <lonejack> Jordan_U: right. I removed it. Now no now update are proposed.
[07:48] <Vegombrei> bazhang: yes.. both hdd's internal ... the 80 gb is dedicated to ubuntu .. when i was installing it i told the installer to use the entire drive ..
[07:48] <lonejack> Jordan_U: thank you
[07:48] <sagredo> molecule: lshw *
[07:48] <molecule> ls -hw didnt work
[07:48] <Uplink> unop, http://paste.ubuntu.com/37654/
[07:48] <molecule> oh ty
[07:48] <sagredo> welcome
[07:48] <zcat[1]> policy / inbound allow from <IP_ADDRESS>/16 should be pretty safe
[07:48] <Jordan_U> lonejack: np
[07:48] <molecule> im a friends house and he blocks internet by mac address. so i should give him my computer's right?
[07:48] <sagredo> Hi, I'm only available to access my apache server on my LAN, not the broader Internet
[07:49] <FAJALOU> zcat[1]:  what does that do?
[07:49] <sagredo> any idea why?
[07:49] <Rat409> trikdo: anytime you change xorg.conf a logout/login is required for changes to apply
[07:49] <Vegombrei> Vegombrei: ?
[07:49] <pajamian> sagredo: you probably have to forward port 80 from your router.
[07:49] <evilbug> i've been searching on google but no options i've tried so far worked. i'm trying to get everything to work at a 1440x900 res. on my macbook pro. the desktop and login work at that res. but the boot screen and tty modes function at a fuzzy looking 1280x800. does anyone have a fix for me?
[07:49] <sagredo> pajamian: that sounds right, thanks
[07:49] <trikdo> Is it possible that I'm not supposed to be using Synaptics??
[07:50] <zcat[1]> FAJALOU: allowes the whole range of <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> -- they're non-routable addresses so you should never see any traffic in that range except from inside your LAN
[07:50] <ogzy> bazhang, RTL8101E is the ethernet cards chipset
[07:50] <Bubulle> molecule, yes, usually mac address filtering is used on wireless, si you may check the MAC address of the wlan0 interface if this is the case. If you connect by ethernet wire, check the mack address of the eth0 interface. The command is ifconfig interface
[07:50] <Rat409> trikdo: if you've an alps touchpad i guess
[07:50] <FAJALOU> zcat[1]:  ok thank you.
[07:50] <HAL9000> trikdo:!laptops
[07:50] <bazhang> ogzy, did it ever work, or just stopped working recently
[07:50] <HAL9000> !laptop
[07:51] <zcat[1]> hmm, gotta reboot and see if I have sound modules now
[07:51] <indeed25> does anyone know how I can delete an overlapping partition?
[07:51] <FAJALOU> zcat[1]:  but what if someone hacks our network (doubt it it's wpa psk2 but still)  would they have access to my files?
[07:51] <molecule> Bubulle: thank you
[07:52] <ogzy> bazhang, it is a fresh installed netbook so just trying to make it run
[07:52] <HAL9000> trikdo: You can find lists of laptops tested on those links. Just type !laptop should you need to see those in the future
[07:52] <pajamian> FAJALOU: only if they hack your computer as well.
[07:52] <trikdo> Jordan_U: "MaxTapTime" didn't work either... if you didn't catch on... :'(
[07:52] <ogzy> bazhang, the probelm is related with this chipset not a common ethernet card issue i think have you experienced probelm with this chipset?
[07:53] <Bubulle> molecule, if smart enough, your friend could have got your MAC address from any packet you send, even if blocked :)
[07:53] <Jordan_U> trikdo: Odd
[07:53] <FAJALOU> pajamian: thank you for putting my fears to rest :)
[07:54] <magentar> what does gnome use to automount devices? pmount?
[07:54] <Jame1> hoho
[07:54] <indeed25> parted won't work because it's complaining I have an overlapping partition, how can I get rid of it then?
[07:54] <bazhang> ogzy, which netbook? please tell me make and model
[07:54] <zcat[1]> woot, sound again!
[07:55] <ogzy> bazhang, an atom based netbook
[07:55] <zcat[1]> Oops, wrong kernel version. no vbox-ose drivers for -21
[07:55] <trikdo> Ridiculous, how do I disable touchpad completely?
[07:55] <Bubulle> indeed25, fdisk may fix it gracefully, it is a cmdline terminal tool
[07:55] <bazhang> ogzy, what exact make and model
[07:55] <zcat[1]> trikdo: probably Fn-F7 or something...
[07:56] <magnetron> hi! when i use the PDF option in the print dialog, where are the pdf files saved? i can't find it.
[07:56] <ogzy> bazhang, doesnt matter indeed but the current kernel is 2.6.24-19-lpia
[07:56] <zcat[1]> trikdo: depends on the laptop ..
[07:56] <bazhang> ogzy, okay; good luck then.
[07:57] <costal79> hi people I'm having some problems
[07:57] <costal79> with this find command
[07:57] <FAJALOU> !explain
[07:57] <costal79> find / -name error_log -exec tail \-1 {} \> {} \;
[07:58] <costal79> I'm trying to clean this in one shot
[07:58] <costal79> any idea ?
[07:58] <FloodBot1> costal79: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:58] <FAJALOU> how can i find out what my old samba password is?  i don't ever remember setting one !!
[07:58] <trikdo> Ubuntu cannot handle a simple touchpad. Microsoft 1 Linux 0
[07:58] <zcat[1]> FAJALOU: just press enter?
[07:59] <FAJALOU> tried that....
[07:59] <zcat[1]> Ubuntu 1, trikdo 0 ..
[07:59] <Daisuke_Laptop> oi...  i love that everything is just so black and white for some people
[07:59] <FAJALOU> sudo doesn't work either?
[07:59] <clever> !dkms
[07:59] <Bubulle> FAJALOU, samba users and passwords are un sync of the users on the ubuntu box. If not in sync, use smbpaswd user to reset it to a new one
[07:59] <HAL9000> trikdo: Did you check !laptop for your make/model lots of people use ubuntu on  lappys
[08:00] <zcat[1]> It works out of the box, no drivers required. He wants it to work _less_. We tell him how. wtf?
[08:00] <bazhang> trikdo oh he left
[08:00] <clever> !lirc
[08:00] <sagredo> Hi
[08:00] <bazhang> clever please /msg ubottu
[08:00] <HAL9000> DOH oh well
[08:00] <sagredo> I'm trying to access my VNC from outside my network... How can I tell what ports to open?
[08:00] <clever> bazhang: just getting 2 links atm, enless you know more about lirc
[08:01] <bazhang> clever /msg ubottu info nameofpackage
[08:01] <costal79> how many times can I use the {} in the -exec option in the find command ?
[08:01] <clever> bazhang: that doesnt tell me crap about how to fix it:P
[08:01] <bazhang> clever, then ask us
[08:01] <zcat[1]> anyhow, on my laptop there's a little blue 'finger on touchpad' icon on the F7 key..  Works prefectly in Ubuntu. Always has.
[08:02] <clever> bazhang: dkms appears to have complied lirc_seria.ko for me but the module wont work
[08:02] <bazhang> clever, or get a better irc client
[08:02] <clever> bazhang: how is my irc client messing things up:P
[08:02] <HAL9000> sagredo: You may need to do some portmapping at the router first if your attempt aren't going through
[08:02] <zcat[1]> If he'd stuck around I might have told him that, but I don't think he really wanted to know.
[08:02] <Bubulle> sagredo, very insecure to open VNC to the outside. You can do it with NAT, not recommanded. Prefer ssh tunnel to local VNC ports, or better, use NX (freenx and nxclient) from nomachine. Much btter responsiveness though internet links with low speed, much secure because it tunnel through ssh out of the box.
[08:03] <bazhang> zcat[1] tell him when he returns
[08:03] <ajhtiredwolf> Anyone feel like helping me with a proftpd server? It seems to hang after a user types in the username and login
[08:03] <zcat[1]> bazhang: 'if'
[08:04] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: using commandline ftp client?
[08:04] <bazhang> clever, what about using xchat ; does that give you issues? you need to describe what problems lirc is giving you
[08:04] <Bubulle> ajhtiredwolf, you need to have a look at active ftp though nat (google gives plenty of examples). Or tells your users to use passive FTP connexions.
[08:04] <clever> bazhang: i can send ir codes thru lirc and see the ir led blinking with a camera but the cable box no longer responds to the code
[08:04] <zcat[1]> FTP is so 1990's .. use scp already!
[08:04] <sriram__> alistair_: any success?
[08:05] <ladyfantasy> or "sftp"
[08:05] <bazhang> clever, aha, my mistake sorry
[08:05] <ladyfantasy> filezilla's a decent frontend for it
[08:05] <Bubulle> ladyfantasy, rsync rules :)
[08:05] <zcat[1]> 'windows users' is no excuse either.. winscp handles scp and sftp beautifully
[08:05] <bazhang> getting offtopic here
[08:05] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, tried connecting through browser and gftp
[08:05] <kenkku> and on top, winscp is better than most FTP programs on windows
[08:06] <ajhtiredwolf> Bubulle, nahh, im not able to connect locally
[08:06] <clever> zcat[1]: but winscp sucks an oddly high ammount of cpu and because of that gets poor transfer rates over 100mbit
[08:06] <zym> dfs a
[08:06] <zcat[1]> actually I wouldn't mine a program like winscp for Linux too!
[08:06] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: yeah, you can test if it's the active/passive firewall issue with the commandline client... just load it up, type "passive" at the ftp> prompt, then connect
[08:06] <zym> 运
[08:06] <zym> 晕了
[08:06] <zcat[1]> clever: encryption overhead? or more than that?
[08:06] <bazhang> zym /join #ubuntu-cn
[08:06] <ladyfantasy> wow, my terminal actually displayed that
[08:07] <Kelen> zym: english pls, ,
[08:07] <Kelen> no chinese.
[08:07] <zym> 你们有人会中文马
[08:07] <clever> zcat[1]: that doesnt explain why scp on linux uses much less cpu and goes much faster
[08:07] <zcat[1]> !cn
[08:07] <ari_stress> how do i type 运 ?
[08:07] <clever> Kelen: it looks japanese to me
[08:07] <Jordan_U> clever: Have you tried standard scp via cygwin?
[08:07] <zcat[1]> !jp
[08:07] <bazhang> its chinese
[08:07] <clever> Jordan_U: not lately, cygwin is hard to uninstall
[08:07] <bazhang> zym english here
[08:07] <zym> why my compture can not work
[08:08] <bazhang> zym for chinese, /join #ubuntu-cn
[08:08] <clever> Jordan_U: i just use plain ftp or samba to bypass the problem
[08:08] <ari_stress> zym, nice english
[08:08] <bazhang> ari_stress, not appropriate.
[08:08] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, i checked, in gftp it is set to passive, what would be the command to connect in the terminal?
[08:08] <zym> hello
[08:08] <Kelen> Is that possible for Evolution running on backgroup ? Anyone knows ?
[08:08] <ari_stress> bazhang: sorry, reflecs
[08:08] <zcat[1]> ari_stress: nice sarcasim
[08:08] <zcat[1]> sorry..
[08:08] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: just "ftp"
[08:08] <bazhang> zym, please give more info
[08:09] <Jordan_U> clever: I hope you mean plain sftp :)
[08:09] <punz> question -- does anybody know a way to hide the ugly anchors on the side of bars in gnome when you don't have them expand across the entire screen?
[08:10] <speedtutrle> i have 64bit ubuntu running as application in windows and right after the boot screen it brings up abnormal exit 1566 and goes to a cmd line of (initramfs), i have tried CTRL+Alt+F7 and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and ni=either worked wat is wrong
[08:10] <clever> Jordan_U: its over my own private lan so i just get rid of all encryption
[08:10] <zym> if i want to use QQ have a chat with my friends ,what can i do?everyone know?

[08:10] <bazhang> zym, try eva
[08:11] <Kelen> hey, is that possible for evolution running in back group just monitor email receive..?
[08:11] <zcat[1]> Cool.. never even heard of qq and ubuntu already has support for it ;)
[08:11] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, well actually hang on a second, this is something new it hasnt dont before, is tarted it up and it said /etc/shutmsg present: all incoming connections will be refused.
[08:11] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, obviously that is a problem
[08:11] <ari_stress> Kelen: yes by minimizing it
[08:11] <ladyfantasy> heh, yeah
[08:11] <Kelen> ari_stress: How to to it?
[08:11] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, are you familiar with proftpd?
[08:12] <ari_stress> Kelen: klik on the 'line' icon on the top right corner of the windows, near the box and cross icon
[08:12] <ladyfantasy> i am, for the most part.  try restarting the proftp service on the server if you can
[08:13] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: failing that, try /etc/init.d/proftpd resume
[08:13] <schmick> Kelen: evolution has 2 close options on File menu.. Close windos ctr-Q and Quit ctrl-Q
[08:13] <harej> hi, if upon entering my username and password I am stuck with a beige screen, what exactly does that mean?
[08:14] <FAJALOU> harej:  gdm isn't loading
[08:14] <schmick> Kelen: if you close evolution through the X button (close button for all windows), it will just close the window, not the program.. It'll stay in the background monitoring.
[08:14] <speedtutrle> i have 64bit ubuntu running as application in windows and right after the boot screen it brings up abnormal exit 1566 and goes to a cmd line of (initramfs), i have tried CTRL+Alt+F7 and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and neither worked wat is wrong
[08:14] <harej> FAJALOU, what'd be the best way of rectifying it?
[08:15] <bazhang> speedtutrle, this is wubi?
[08:15] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, wasnt a valid option, did force-start
[08:15] <FAJALOU> harej:  was it working before hand?
[08:15] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, hmm that didnt appaer to do anything
[08:15] <Jordan_U> harej: It probably means that there is a problem with compiz, try pressing alt+f2 ( brings up a run dialog, you won't be able to see it ) and type "metacity --replace" then hit enter, alternately you can log in with a failsafe gnome session from the drop down menu at the login screen
[08:15] <speedtutrle> bazhang: wat you mean wubi
[08:15] <bnalohim> I really need help.. do anyone know how to recover files from a formated JFS partition?? I explain my problem in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=890453 please help me

[08:15] <FloodBot1> preben: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:16] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: ok, does /etc contain a file called shutmsg? or perhaps /home/ftp/etc?
[08:16] <ladyfantasy> i'm not sure where your proftpd sets its root
[08:16] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, let me look second
[08:16] <preben> totem works though
[08:16] <harej> Jordan_U, what will "metacity --replace" do
[08:16] <coregan> how do i know the flashplayer is install or not,i tried to install but still cannot watch video on youtube
[08:17] <FAJALOU> harej:  it will replace compiz-fusion with metacity
[08:17] <bazhang> coregan, check about: plugins in ff
[08:17] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy,  it is in /etc/
[08:17] <Jordan_U> harej: It will replace compiz ( the 3D snazzy window manager ) with metacity ( the boring more reliable WM )
[08:17] <harej> okay, but I am still stuck with the beige screen
[08:17] <bnalohim> I really need help.. do anyone know how to recover files from a formated JFS partition?? I explain my problem in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=890453 please help me
[08:17] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: ok, delete it
[08:17] <FAJALOU> harej:  did you just install it?
[08:17] <coregan> bazhang:ok
[08:17] <harej> FAJALOU, no, this worked before
[08:18] <schmick> coregan: type "about:plugins" on firefox without quotes.. there's the info.
[08:18] <harej> then type about:robots
[08:18] <harej> :D
[08:18] <FAJALOU> harej:  are you using the snazzy compiz fusion or metacity?
[08:18] <harej> FAJALOU, I don't know.
[08:18] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: after you delete /etc/shutmsg, you might (or might not) need to restart proftpd  (/etc/init.d/proftpd restart)
[08:18] <Kelen> ari_stress: hey, dude, there is nothing icon like evolution to click. is that any wrong with me?
[08:18] <harej> it's probably compiz fusion
[08:18] <FAJALOU> harej:  could you do cool stuff like have 4 desktops in a cube etc etc.
[08:18] <harej> because i've noticed some vista-like things about it
[08:18] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: but don't do a "force" though
[08:18] <harej> with all the neat transitions
[08:19] <harej> how things fade, etc
[08:19] <harej> is that compiz fusion?
[08:19] <Jordan_U> harej: Yes
[08:19] <bazhang> bnalohim, what is the jfs? now or under windows
[08:19] <FAJALOU> and it worked before?
[08:19] <zym> windows
[08:19] <Jordan_U> harej: Since it was working before you are probably having a driver problem, but switching to metacity should still get you a usable desktop
[08:20] <hemanth> hi
[08:20] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, hmm now i seem to have a new problem, one second
[08:20] <hacked_kernel> Sometimes Ubuntu crashes, I checked dmesg and found "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 13093
[08:20] <hacked_kernel> [  178.691314] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 52368", I got a lot of this message

[08:21] <ajhtiredwolf> lady im doing -nd6, it displays more of whats going on
[08:21] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: is that an option to proftpd?
[08:21] <bazhang> bnalohim, I'm aware of that; what fs was used for windows, and what did you replace it with
[08:21] <hemanth>  having trouble with CGi apache ubuntu hardy
[08:21] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, yeah
[08:21] <ladyfantasy> ok
[08:21] <hemanth> localhot says it work
[08:21] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy,  hmm something is wrong, it says that port is in use, and it definately shouldnt be
[08:21] <hemanth> but *.pl is not
[08:21] <bazhang> hemanth, dont repeat so often
[08:21] <zym> how can i use something such as *.Exe for ubuntu
[08:22] <hemanth> bazhang, ok sorry
[08:22] <FAJALOU> hemanth: please keep everything in one line so it's all there to read, thanks.
[08:22] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: do you have any other ftp server software installed?  like vsftpd maybe?
[08:22] <bazhang> zym,  via wine
[08:22] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, nope
[08:22] <hemanth> bazhang, i thought they might have over read
[08:22] <bnalohim> bazhang: for windows it was used ntfs.. the problemm was thet i replace my JFS with NTFS and i need a few files that were in my JFS
[08:22] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, never mind found the problem
[08:22] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, it failed to stop the instance before when i rebooted it, was trying to make a new instance on top of it
[08:22] <ladyfantasy> ah
[08:23] <ladyfantasy> yeah, sounds like an unclean previous shutdown is why the /etc/shutmsg got left behind
[08:23] <Jordan_U> harej: Have you tried starting with a failsafe session or running "metacity --replace" ?
[08:23] <bazhang> bnalohim, you used windows to format? not sure about how they do it.
[08:23] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, still have the problem of people not being able to connect
[08:23] <harej> Jordan_U, I tried that metacity --replace and it did nothing
[08:23] <FAJALOU> harej:  what did you try it in?
[08:23] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: and you're in terminal ftp?
[08:23] <bnalohim> bazhang: I used a Windows uE cd.. doing a quick format
[08:24] <Jordan_U> FAJALOU: I suggested that he use alt+f2 to bring up a run dialog
[08:24] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: try doing "ftp localhost" on the server and see if that works
[08:24] <bazhang> bnalohim, what types of files
[08:24] <FAJALOU> ahh ok,  harej did a run dialog come up?
[08:24] <bnalohim> bazhang: text files
[08:24] <harej> FAJALOU, he said it would be invisible
[08:24] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, lol where is the connect command?
[08:24] <bazhang> bnalohim, no backups of any kind?
[08:25] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, i put in passive now im looking how to connect
[08:25] <Jordan_U> harej: Ok, when you log in there is a menu ( labeled options? ) at the bottom left, from there you should be able to choose a failsafe gnome session
[08:25] <ladyfantasy> oh, sorry... just type "o <hostname>"
[08:25] <harej> Jordan_U, except my optinos are Select Language, Select Session, Remote Login via XDMCP, Restart, Shut Down, Suspend, and Hibernate
[08:25] <bnalohim> bazhang: I had a backup of most of the disk.. but im missing my mother recent files..and they are important
[08:25] <ladyfantasy> "o" for "open"
[08:25] <Jordan_U> harej: It's under select session
[08:25] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, connection refuse, should i use my local ip? 192.168.0.*
[08:26] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: try logging into the server itself and then type "ftp localhost" on that machine
[08:26] <bnalohim> bazhang: I need to recover less than 200 mb.... is there any way to do it??
[08:26] <jpjacobs> for all users of touchpads (synaptics driver) the circular scrolling option is jus too cool
[08:26] <eax> Hi :) I'm trying to run the script called "porn-get" but when I write: "./porn-get install lesbian" as a test it outputs: "ifstream::ifstream (2 No such file or directory)" Anyone able to help me? Maybe someone have a newer version?
[08:26] <Jordan_U> harej: Once you get logged in you can try to figure out what caused compiz to break and fix it or disable it permanently in System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[08:26] <bazhang> bnalohim, you may wish to hear from responses on forums; a format in Ubuntu normally means they are gone. perhaps ask in ##windows about that ue item as well
[08:26] <harej> Thank you, Jordan_U. I am pretty sure the problem is from a screwed up upgrade.
[08:27] <bazhang> eax, that is not appropriate here.
[08:27] <harej> eax, cute.
[08:27] <harej> Jordan_U, now that I have access to a prompt, what should I do to repair the installation?
[08:27] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, i dont believe i can connect to it from this machine, it is being hosted on this machine
[08:28] <eax> bazhang: I see what you mean. But where is it appropriate then? It's "basically" a changed version of apt?
[08:28] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: you should certainly be able to connect to the ftp server on the same host that's running it
[08:28] <Jordan_U> harej: Ahh, you chose failsafe terminal?
[08:28] <bazhang> not here. eax
[08:28] <FAJALOU>  i am working on setting up a workgroup between linux and a vista machine.  I am now sharing a folder from ubuntu to vista,  but when i try to see all the files in vista from ubuntu, i have to manually type smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/users or something of the sort.  how can i make all of down (<IP_ADDRESS>) show up when i go to smb://down  instead of having to navigate farther?
[08:28] <bazhang> !ot | eax
[08:28] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, it hangs when i type in o <masquerading address here>
[08:28] <harej> yes Jordan_U, and upon that I got quite the error messages (something about a missing HAL), and I want to fix things
[08:28] <hemanth> hmmm
[08:28] <hemanth> i sloved it
[08:29] <evilbug> how would i fully customize my ubuntu? there's stuff running in the bg that i'm pretty sure i don't need and my ultimate goal is to off those processes.
[08:29] <bnalohim> bazhang: The format taked less than one minute so I suppose no ceros where written and I imagine the files are still somehow there.. I expleain it bether here http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=331 if anyone is able to help.. please, I realy need it
[08:29] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: you're missing what i'm saying.  login to the same machine that's running the ftp server, and at the command prompt, just type "ftp localhost".  it should present you with a login for ftp.
[08:29] <ladyfantasy> when i say login, i mean via ssh, not ftp
[08:29] <ladyfantasy> or console
[08:29] <Jordan_U> harej: You said something about an upgrade, did you just upgrade from another version or just got some updates?
[08:29] <faff_18> test
[08:29] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, my mistake, but it says connection refused
[08:30] <tuna> evilbug: for that, I suggest to run another distro. Ubuntu wasn't meant for that, and there are others (like gentoo and arch) that are built just for it.
[08:30] <ladyfantasy> hmm...
[08:30] <harej> Jordan_U, a version upgrade. I think the problem is rectifying now.
[08:30] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: ps -ef | grep [f]tp   <- does that show it running?
[08:30] <bnalohim> bazhang: sorry this is my threat http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=890453 in ubuntu forums
[08:30] <evilbug> tuna- that's what i was thinking... would you go arch or slack?
[08:30] <tuna> arch
[08:30] <evilbug> thanks.
[08:30] <bazhang> tuna evilbug please take chat elsewhere
[08:31] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, yeah, i see it, proftp
[08:31] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, it says that it is accepting connections
[08:31] <ladyfantasy> well, you shouldn't be getting a connect refused from the same host.  check your log files
[08:31] <Jordan_U> harej: Was there any error during the upgrade? Even if there wasn't running this can't hurt ( it will try to continue a failed upgrade if possible, does nothing otherwise ) "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[08:31] <ladyfantasy> unless you have some crazy firewall rules on that host
[08:32] <harej> Jordan_U, that's exactly what I am doing now. I figured that out serendipitously.
[08:32] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, well with the command i use, if it was to even try and connect, it would show in the termanl window where proftpd is running, but it is doing nothing
[08:32] <FAJALOU>  i am working on setting up a workgroup between linux and a vista machine.  I am now sharing a folder from ubuntu to vista,  but when i try to see all the files in vista from ubuntu, i have to manually type smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/users or something of the sort.  how can i make all of down (<IP_ADDRESS>) show up when i go to smb://down  instead of having to navigate farther?  (note the folder that i am trying to navigate to is shared so sh
[08:32] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, whne people tried to connect before, it would show them trying to connect, and get all the way up until user and pass verfication, after that it would hang
[08:33] <Jordan_U> harej: If it's taking more than a fraction of a second to complete then your upgrade didn't finish :)
[08:33] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, do you kno where are the proftpd log files located?
[08:33] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: well... i'm kind of at a loss then.  maybe clear any firewall rules in case something's broken there... ("iptables -F") and try again, but i doubt that's the case.
[08:34] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: usually in /var/log
[08:34] <harej> Jordan_U, nope. It always freezes on generating locales. Like, it ostensibly stops
[08:34] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: check /var/log/messages and anything else that appears to be related to ftp.
[08:34] <ajhtiredwolf> I actually had this problem on my last install as well
[08:35] <bazhang> harej, this is feisty to gutsy to hardy or gutsy to hardy only
[08:35] <Zeroyez> how do I start XFCE?
[08:35] <harej> bazhang, beg your pardon?
[08:35] <Zeroyez> the login manager
[08:35] <ladyfantasy> i've only ever installed proftp from source, never from package, so maybe ubuntu has some needed tweaks to the configuration... may want to review proftpd documentation
[08:35] <bazhang> Zeroyez, choose in login window in session
[08:35] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, unfortunately I have already reviewed as much as physically possible :P
[08:35] <harej> bazhang, oh, the new version. i forgot what it's called
[08:35] <bazhang> the locales hang harej ; what upgrade path
[08:35] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, nothing related to ftp in messages
[08:36] <Zeroyez> and how would I do that
[08:36] <Zeroyez> I'm asking how to start the xfce login manager
[08:36] <bazhang> Zeroyez, get to login window then choose in session
[08:36] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, there is a proftpd folder but the log file is empty
[08:36] <Zeroyez> login window, where's that?
[08:36] <zcat[1]> there isn't an xfce login manager. there's xdm though which I think xubuntu uses
[08:36] <Zeroyez> interesting
[08:36] <Zeroyez> so I have to install gdm?
[08:37] <zcat[1]> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ; sudo /etc/init.d/xdm start
[08:37] <Jordan_U> harej: Gahh, they still havn't fixed that bug. To complete your upgrade reboot ( sudo reboot ) then press escape when grub comes up so you get a menu, choose the second recovery option from the top ( which will be the fourth line down, you need to boot into your previous kernel and there is a regular and recovery mode for each kernel ) and when prompted choose "Fix packages" ( or whatever the option is, it just runs "dpkg --configu
[08:37] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588  maybe this will help, i don't know
[08:37] <zcat[1]> somewhere in the X config there's a preferred login manager setting too.
[08:37] <bazhang> harej, he's got it
[08:37] <harej> Jordan_U, should i ctrl+c out of the current upgrade?
[08:37] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, i actually used that thread to install it
[08:38] <Jordan_U> harej: If it's hanging at generating locales then yes
[08:38] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf ok... let me try something... hang on a few minutes
[08:38] <bazhang> harej, it will hang forever
[08:38] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, no problemo, thanks
[08:38] <zcat[1]> it is actually 'hanging' though.. generating locales takes ages, but it's still doing stuff usually
[08:38] <bazhang> zcat[1], not in this case
[08:38] <harej> Jordan_U, see, I thought it was taking a long time, so I left it alone and then the computer got turned off somehow
[08:38] <zcat[1]> ahh, ok

[08:40] <geek_> bazhang: i tried gnome on it. its rather slow

[08:40] <geek_> bazhang: well is there a DE independant way of doing it?
[08:41] <Jordan_U> harej: It'll never complete, it's a bug that I thought they would have fixed by now https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/249340 it's kind of embarrassing :)
[08:41] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: well.. i just installed proftpd via synaptic, tested it, and it works fine... maybe deinstall/reinstall
[08:41] <Koheleth> Guys, if I update Firefox 3 after initiall install I cannot any longer set the desktop wallpaper using the browser, has anyone else had this problem?  Thanks

[08:41] <ome_> I'm having trouble installing mplayer "The following packages have unmet dependencies:  mplayer: Depends: libdirectfb-0.9-25 but it is not installable"
[08:41] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: and,t here should be /var/log/proftpd
[08:41] <geek_> bazhang: er.. its for a windows user, so... i think its better i have some simple gui for it
[08:41] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, correct, but the log file for proftpd just shows the start up, shut down, not accepting incoming connections
[08:42] <Koheleth> brb
[08:42] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, just shows the info that it gives me in the terminal when starting and stopping it
[08:42] <bazhang> geek_, with icewm for a windows user?
[08:42] <ladyfantasy> yeah, that's why i'm saying just remove and reinstall it... perhaps something got broken in the configs
[08:42] <geek_> bazhang: er.. any better ideas?
[08:42] <ladyfantasy> backup your /etc/proftpd directory first
[08:42] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, apt-get remove proftpd sufficient?
[08:42] <ladyfantasy> i suppose
[08:43]  * geek_ was thinking icewm/fxe . not decided what to do for browser yet
[08:43] <ome_> Anyone know the repository
[08:43] <ladyfantasy> well.. it looks like apt-get remove proftpd does NOT clean up config files
[08:43] <Daisuke_Laptop> geek_: have you considered xfce?
[08:43] <geek_> bazhang: well, from what i remembered it was CDE like
[08:43] <ome_> Anyone know the repository I need to add to install libdirectfb-0-25?
[08:43] <FAJALOU> ome_:  sounds like medibuntu
[08:44] <ome_> im in hardy heron
[08:44] <Daisuke_Laptop> libdirectfb-1.0-0 is what's in there

[08:44] <harej> IT'S DOING IT AGAIN
[08:44] <harej> AAAHHHH

[08:44] <ome_> im trying to install mplayer
[08:44] <bazhang> harej, caps
[08:44] <ome_> had problems installing audacious too
[08:44] <bazhang> ome_, lets see your sources.list
[08:45] <Jordan_U> harej: It will take a long time when it does work, but it should finish as long as you booted into the previous kernel
[08:45] <harej> Jordan_U, it was the second option from the top on the list
[08:45] <bazhang> harej, you did choose the previous kernel, right?
[08:45] <harej> ...crap.
[08:45]  * harej pulls the plug
[08:46] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, when reinstalling it asked me if i would like to keep my current proftpd.conf, whatcha think? might as well?
[08:46] <ome_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/37663/
[08:46] <Jordan_U> harej: Fourth option from the top :)
[08:46] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: no, replace it... backup what you have first, but replace it
[08:46] <harej> thanks jordan
[08:47] <bazhang> ome_, you used ultamatix?
[08:47] <ome_> yah, that bad news?
[08:47] <bazhang> ome_, time for a reinstall.
[08:47] <geek_> tends to be

[08:47] <FAJALOU>  i am working on setting up a workgroup between linux and a vista machine.  I am now sharing a folder from ubuntu to vista,  but when i try to see all the files in vista from ubuntu, i have to manually type smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/users or something of the sort.  how can i make all of down (<IP_ADDRESS>) show up when i go to smb://down  instead of having to navigate farther?  (note the folder that i am trying to navigate to is shared so sh
[08:47] <bazhang> Jordan_U, new and disimproved
[08:47] <geek_> xd
[08:48] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, alright done
[08:48] <Jordan_U> bazhang: Why?!?!
[08:48] <geek_> bazhang: they managed to make it WORSE? o0 is that even possible? ;p
[08:48] <ome_> thanks for info bazhang
[08:48] <geek_> Jordan_U: cause people are too lazy to add one or two useful repos? ;p
[08:48] <bazhang> Jordan_U, the same folks who brought us ubuntu "ultimate"
[08:48] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: now /etc/init.d/proftpd stop  and start
[08:48] <bazhang> ome_, next time no need for that
[08:49] <quatar-it> hi all. I have ubuntu8.04 32 bit (altough i could use a 64 bit, as my cpu is), and a strange problem. Actually, it sometimes decides to fail opening some sort of application, such as firefox (expecially when requesting a page with flash animations), eyeofGnome, terminal (it opens the windows, but not the content)... is there any package broken, any driver badly installed .... !? it happens since some days ago, my lapto
[08:49] <bazhang> ome_, seriously, it is not needed in any way shape or form
[08:49] <ome_> I just thought it would be like automatix
[08:49] <bazhang> ome_, it is.
[08:49] <ome_> havsnt been useful in any way
[08:49] <HAL9000> In a bad way
[08:49] <Jordan_U> ome_: That's the problem :)
[08:49] <bazhang> aye
[08:49] <ome_> automatix installed alot of wine apps
[08:49] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, what on earth... it just keeps sayting ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd.
[08:49] <ladyfantasy> oh...
[08:50] <zcat[1]> quatar-it: try a memtest ?
[08:50] <ladyfantasy> hmm... there's an option to install it to either listen via inetd or as a standalone program.
[08:50] <ladyfantasy> i've always run it standalone
[08:50] <ome_> So you serious about reinstall? or know any trick to undo?
[08:50] <dahlia> hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 desktop on a virtualbox guest running on a ubuntu 8.04 x64 host with a phenom cpu. I cant get it to install unless I set up virtualbox to use IO APIC, which I'd rather not use because it's supposed to slow down the machine. Is there a way I can specify to the kernel to not need that at boot time?
[08:50] <quatar-it> zcat[1]: is that one which starts durin the OS launch (routine check of devices...)?
[08:50] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, hang on
[08:50] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, i think i remember how
[08:50] <bazhang> ome_, yes. the damage is serious.
[08:51] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, i believe its in that config i replaed
[08:51] <tenbytes> hey--how do i open ports in ubuntu? i can't access my websites cpanel because it doesn't use port 80
[08:51] <zcat[1]> quatar-it: yep.. first thing I do for weirdness like that is memtest for an hour or two.. very often that's the problem.
[08:51] <zcat[1]> well, nit very often but sometimes.. and quite easy to rule out before ou go reinstalling and stuff.
[08:51] <HAL9000> ome_: Automatix screw one of mine up back in the day.... wouldn't touch with a 10 ft pole ever again
[08:51] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, well this isnt good, /etc/prfotpd.conf doesnt exist now
[08:51] <quatar-it> zcat[1]: how can i force an extraordinary one? [$> memtest] ?
[08:52] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: it should be in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
[08:52] <dahlia> is there a list of kernel boot command line options somewhere?
[08:52] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, ugh, it named it proftpdold never mind
[08:52] <zcat[1]> quatar-it: memtest runs as long as you let it.. an hour is about as short as I'd go. Overnight is not a bad idea. You can leave it running for a week if you want..
[08:52] <ladyfantasy> ok
[08:52] <ome_> I spent so much time customizing everything. Can I install in a form of upgrade so I keep all my files and settings?
[08:53] <geek_> dahlia: i think you need to use the noapic cheat code
[08:53] <harej> Jordan_U, despite reverting to the previous kernel it appears I still have to use the failsafe setting. Is this normal?
[08:53] <Jordan_U> !boot | dahlia It's not comprehensive but...
[08:53] <quatar-it> zcat[1]: uh i didn't say... when one of hose stops, any other of those won't start!
[08:53] <bazhang> ome_, no.
[08:53] <mashtdi> I have a question when someone has time.
[08:53] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, ok there we go, started
[08:53] <bazhang> ome_, back up your files then reinstall
[08:53] <dahlia> ty, looking... :)
[08:53] <zcat[1]> quatar-it: ohhh.. sorry, not fsck, memtest, the bottom option on the grub menu (you might need to press <esc> at boottime to see the grub menu)
[08:53] <HAL9000> ome: it messes up so many things I dunno if you could find them all
[08:53] <Jordan_U> harej: Yes, until you run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ( it will take a while, but should finish this time :)
[08:53] <quatar-it> zcat[1]: i don't want to know how to let it last for long, ..i want to know how to let that start!
[08:53] <harej> Jordan_U, why will it work this time?
[08:54] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, same thing when i did ftp localhost, connection refused
[08:54] <Koheleth> Guys, if I update Firefox 3 after initiall install I cannot any longer set the desktop wallpaper using the browser, has anyone else had this problem?  Thanks
[08:54] <quatar-it> zcat[1]: thx ...
[08:54] <quatar-it> i'll restart.
[08:54] <zcat[1]> quatar-it: reboot, wait for grub to say 'press esc for options' and press esc.. last option on the menu is memtest+ ...
[08:54] <ladyfantasy> well, ajhtiredwolf - i have to say i'm at a loss then.
[08:55] <ladyfantasy> i've never run into this
[08:55] <FAJALOU>  i am working on setting up a workgroup between linux and a vista machine.  I am now sharing a folder from ubuntu to vista,  but when i try to see all the files in vista from ubuntu, i have to manually type smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/users or something of the sort.  how can i make all of down (<IP_ADDRESS>) show up when i go to smb://down  instead of having to navigate farther?

[08:55] <_hase> So I'm trying to install a PCMCIA card with four USB ports...and after I plugged it it lspci recognizes it, but none of the things i've plugged into the usb ports are working
[08:55] <zcat[1]> 'cos it does sound a bit like faulty memory.. although it could be something else
[08:55] <Jordan_U> harej: I am not sure of the details but the localedef command does not work with the current hardy kernel, but does work with earlier kernels, but it only needs to be run once and will set everything up to work with the most recent kernel as well
[08:55] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, could i see your config? it seems to have automatically reverted back to my old one when i switched to standalone
[08:56] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, wait, what should servername be set to?
[08:56] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: when i installed it, i didn't modify any configs at all.. .it just ran
[08:57] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, it wont give me a default config
[08:57] <lawrencep93> hey i am new to ubuntu when i try to enable visual effects i get a desktop effects could not be enabled please help me :)
[08:57] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: i set it up to run as "standalone", not from xinetd.  it was an option when installing it via synaptic... i'm not handy enough with apt-get to know what to do with that yet
[08:57] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, it went back to my old config, it replaced the inted one but not the standalone, i guess because it defaults to inetd
[08:57] <FAJALOU> lawrencep93:  what is your videocard?
[08:58] <lawrencep93> Just a generic intel one
[08:58] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, it gives that option the first time installed, but it didnt this time
[08:58] <FAJALOU> ooo...
[08:58] <dumbdum> Hi, how do i delete files from garbage bin (ubuntu 8.04) They stay there even after saying they are gone!
[08:58] <FAJALOU> if you go into system>administration>hardware drivers... do you see anything?
[08:58] <HAL9000> FAJALOU: look through this link there's a plenty on the forum.
[08:58] <HAL9000> FAJALOU: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605&highlight=windows+smb
[08:58] <FAJALOU> lawrencep93: : if you go into system>administration>hardware drivers... do you see anything?
[08:58] <ladyfantasy> ok... if you remove it via synaptic, there's an option to do a "complete" removal... which should blow away all the config files, etc... i don't know the equivalent apt-get command to do that, but maybe you should try that
[08:58] <FAJALOU> HAL9000: thank you.
[08:59] <HAL9000> Sure that wins server may be of help
[08:59] <lawrencep93> Nothing
[08:59] <Jordan_U> ladyfantasy: apt-get remove <package> --purge
[08:59] <tenbytes> none of you know how to open ports?
[08:59] <FAJALOU> lawrencep93: are you sure that compiz effects will work in the first place?
[08:59] <_hase> Ok, so when I run lsusb it shows a total of six ports, with nothing plugged into any of them, so i know the computer is able to see the pcmcia card, what do i need to do to get it to recognize the devices i'm trying to plug in
[08:59] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, gotcha let me try that
[08:59] <ladyfantasy> Jordan_U: thanks
[08:59] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: try what Jordan_U suggested
[08:59] <dahlia> looks like noapic nolapic works :) thanks all :)
[08:59] <tenbytes> i tried  iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2089 -j ACCEPT
[08:59] <lawrencep93> well they should thats what i head
[08:59] <tenbytes> but it's not working i think
[09:00] <lawrencep93> heard
[09:00] <bazhang> _hase, what sort of devices
[09:00] <_hase> a mouse, mp3 player
[09:00] <Jordan_U> lawrencep93: Can you pastebin the output from "compiz --replace" ( I think that your specific card may be blacklisted as having problems with compiz )
[09:00] <bazhang> _hase in my experience some devices dont like to be connected to hubs
[09:00] <lawrencep93> im realy sorry but how do you do that?
[09:01] <bazhang> paste.ubuntu.com lawrencep93 and give us the url
[09:01] <Jordan_U> lawrencep93: Open a terminal ( Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal ) run
[09:01] <score> how can i find out what package added the 'admin' user?
[09:02] <lawrencep93> im in the terminal
[09:02] <harej> Jordan_U, I got the message "ldconfi deferred processing now taking place", then it sent me to the prompt. Does that mean everything is finished and I can reboot?
[09:02] <harej> ldconfig*
[09:02] <Jordan_U> lawrencep93: ... run "compiz --replace" and copy and paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com then give us the URL
[09:02] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, yay!!! connected
[09:02] <ladyfantasy> woohoo!
[09:02] <Jordan_U> harej: Yup

[09:03] <harej> and Jordan_U, does this mean everything is back to normal, plus a sweet sweet upgrade is in place?
[09:03] <bazhang> lawrencep93, not here
[09:03] <Jordan_U> harej: If there aren't any other problems, yes :)
[09:03] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, ok it seems that how to's config was the problem, now how do i create a seperate user that would be chrooted in a folder? :P
[09:04] <ladyfantasy> well.. that's a whole other topic in itself...
[09:04] <hiih> hiih
[09:04] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, proftpd seems to have an easy way to do it
[09:04] <dumbdum> Hi i have some windows driver files in my garbage bin. I cant delete them because it says I dont have permission. How can i delete them?
[09:04] <ladyfantasy> and to be honest, i need to go to bed soon...
[09:04] <FAJALOU> HAL9000: should WINS support be enabled (the forum is confusing me a little...)
[09:04] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, no proble, i still REALLY appreciate your help
[09:04] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: yeah, i recall that it does, but it's been years since i had to run proftp
[09:04] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: no problem - glad it worked
[09:04] <AlphaDog> I need help setting up Nessus
[09:04] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, well the thing it, the default user is proftpd and group nogroup
[09:05] <infexion> dumbdum: go into your console and type sudo root
[09:05] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, so it seems like the username should be proftpd
[09:05] <Odd-rationale> dumbdum: try with sudo
[09:05] <Jordan_U> ajhtiredwolf: Remember that a chroot in and of itself is NOT a security measure and is not meant to be
[09:05] <HAL9000> FAJALOU: belive so I just use the smb ip method
[09:05] <harej> Yay! Everything is back to normal. Now I can do what I wandered over to my Ubuntu box for to begin with!
[09:05] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, that you have to log in with
[09:05] <harej> thank you #ubuntu!
[09:05] <Odd-rationale> dumbdum: sudo rm /file
[09:05] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: no, proftpd is the user that the server process should be running as
[09:05] <bazhang> infexion, not good advice
[09:05] <ajhtiredwolf> Jordan_U,  hmmm but if you dont want users to be able to browse all the pc's files how else would you do it?
[09:05] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, ahhh I see, so you have to create other users seperatly?
[09:06] <HAL9000> FAJALOU: If i remember right wins resolves netbios names to ip's , someone correct me if wrong plz
[09:06] <infexion> dumbdum: I am sorry sudo bash not root
[09:06] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: every user that you want to login to the ftp server will need an account, yes.  unless you set it up for anonymous ftp
[09:06] <Odd-rationale> infexion: umm. sudo -i might be safer...
[09:06] <CeWe_iMoeT> hai
[09:06] <HAL9000> dumdum: sudo nautilus then empty those files
[09:07] <dumbdum> ok what now?
[09:07] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, darn, then that is almost the same as using ssh2
[09:07] <bazhang> HAL9000, gksudo but dangerous
[09:07] <Jordan_U> ajhtiredwolf: There are a few ways, in fact the next version of Ubuntu will have a "guest login" option which does exactly that using AppArmor policies
[09:07] <Odd-rationale> dumbdum: the safest why would be to "sudo rm <filename>"
[09:07] <Odd-rationale> way
[09:07] <FAJALOU> HAL9000: i think this is more of a windows problem,,, seems how i can see the files, but they are just not browseable, but in 7.10 i think i could browse the downstairs computer...
[09:07] <ladyfantasy> "guest login"?  hmm...
[09:07] <ladyfantasy> this is not enabled by default, i hope...
[09:08] <ajhtiredwolf> Jordan_U, well basically all im trying to do, is setup a user account that a few of my friends and family can upload and download from, but obviously i dont want them to browse all over my pc
[09:08] <UnionPivo> I personaly preffer mc for removing files especialy directory trees
[09:08] <UnionPivo> and its a lot faster than nautilus
[09:08] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: you have to add an entry for that user in the proftp config someplace (I forget where) and specify what you want the "root" path to be..
[09:08] <owen1> how to compile dwm?
[09:08] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: they will not be able to cd .. below that path
[09:08] <ajhtiredwolf> Jordan_U, ladyfantasy the problem is all the have to do is type / in the directory list which is easy for an idiot to figure out :p
[09:08] <_hase> I have a pcmcia usb adaptor, and ubuntu picks it up but not anything i plug into it, what can i do?
[09:09] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, i do see that option
[09:09] <HAL9000> FAJALOU: Been there and gave up long ago lol , i seem to recall it working best in 704
[09:09] <FAJALOU> hmmm ok...
[09:09] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, it is default root ~
[09:09] <infexion> dumbdum: put in cd ~/.local/share/Trash/files
[09:09] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: then that's all you need to do... you have to restart proftpd once you add it, i think... then if they type cd /, they can't get to your real root
[09:09] <FAJALOU> it's weird b/c /down/public is set on share, but /down/users is not and i can go to both lol
[09:10] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: if you're security-minded, try vsftpd
[09:10] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, so all i need to do is create another user in users and groups and people should be able to login to it through the ftp?
[09:10] <ladyfantasy> yes
[09:10] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, i am actually, i worry about opening up my pc this much
[09:10] <Elven2> Hello everybody
[09:10] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, i am kinda confused actually, how is this ftp even running when i did not open the port that it is running on?
[09:11] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: well, if you're security-minded that much, then you shouldn't be using ftp at all :)
[09:11] <HAL9000> FAJALOU: May try asking in #samba also
[09:11] <Elven2> Could somebody please help me? I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 but whenever i run it my video gets all messed
[09:11] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: by running it, you "open" the port
[09:11] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, file sharing programs like msn are too slow for large files
[09:11] <keram> i have just installed imagemagick from source but when i run montage it gives me the error "error while loading shared libraries: not found". i think its because my system is not looking for shared libs in /usr/local/lib, is there a way to fix this?
[09:11] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: well, i would recommend using sftp
[09:11] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, shouldnt only the router only have that option?
[09:12] <FAJALOU> HAL9000:  ok.
[09:12] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, is that just ssl? or ssh... i get them confused haha
[09:12] <Chousuke> ssh
[09:12] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: sftp is ssh... filezilla is a nice GUI-based client that will handle it
[09:12] <UnionPivo> ajhtiredwolf, like lady said use sftp or rsync for file transfer
[09:12] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, ah yeah that is what i used before, unforatunely in order to chroot with that is a HUGE task
[09:13] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: and if by router, you mean firewall, then no.  the firewall can be set to block access to that port, but it doesn't have anything to do with what's running as a listening service
[09:13] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, hmm that is interesting and kinda unnerving hah
[09:13] <DIFH-iceroot> why is it not possible to update the virtualbox-ose moduls? 2 machines have errors if i klick on update at adept
[09:14] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, it seems kinda funny, you would think that by default when you create a user they should not be able to browse the entire computer
[09:14] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: the firewall can still block access to the service
[09:14] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: and that depends on the software you install :)
[09:14] <executionist> i need help plz
[09:14] <Elven2> Could somebody please help me? I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 but whenever i run it my video gets all messed
[09:15] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, well in ubuntu when you create a user although they can't modify fiels outside of their home they can still view them
[09:15] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: unix is fairly open in terms of security, but if you don't want someone else getting into your home directory, then just reset the permissions on it so only you have access (chmod 700 /home/<yourname>)
[09:15] <keram> Elven2, try doing an update
[09:15] <UnionPivo> ajhtiredwolf, the firewall only blocks acess to ports what is running on those ports is non of it buissnes you can run httpd on port 21 if you want
[09:15] <FAJALOU> !ask > executionist
[09:15] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: of course.
[09:15] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: they need to be able to view them
[09:15] <HAL9000> Elven2: Is the video ok in the live cd ?
[09:15] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, certain users do, but not all
[09:15] <Elven2> keram I just finished downloading/installing it, it is up to date
[09:16] <owen1> how to compile dwm?
[09:16] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, users that are meant to perform as little as one task p
[09:16] <Elven2> HAL9000 good question, i can try, what could i do if it runs normally from the live cd?
[09:16] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: they need to be able to view them
[09:16] <Chousuke> eh
[09:16] <Chousuke> uup
[09:16] <Chousuke> oops*
[09:16] <FloodBot1> Chousuke: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:17] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: anyway... most *interactive* users need access outside their /home
[09:17] <ajhtiredwolf> ladyfantasy, I will look around on trying to lock the users in their directory, thank you so much for helping me out on this that was very nice of you
[09:17] <steelhead> how are y'all today?
[09:17] <keram> anyone know how to fix that shared library error i mentioned earlier?
[09:17] <ladyfantasy> ajhtiredwolf: not a problem
[09:17] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, interactive yeah :p, but when they just need to upload/download that isn't necessary
[09:17] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: actually, no: all do :)
[09:17] <executionist> i just installed ubuntu, after that i installed nividia drivers with EnvyNG. but there was a box in hardware drivers that were saying something about my drivers wwhich i clicked and installed. now the thing is i am stuck with 640x480 resolution. i tried installing nvidia drivers with EnvyNG but still. i am stuck with this resolution
[09:17] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: well true.
[09:17] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: but you didn't specify that :)
[09:17] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, like well come on its implied when im setting up an ftp :P
[09:18] <HAL9000> Elven2: if so look @ the xorg.conf settings and compare to the xorg.conf on your harddrive, you'll need to mount the hdd and look @ /etx/X11/xorg.conf
[09:18] <score> keram: add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig
[09:18] <UnionPivo> executionist, are you sure your nvidia drivers are running ? sounds to me you are in vesa mode
[09:18] <Elven2> HAL9000 Oh thank you, i'll try doing it
[09:18] <keram> executionist, from my experience if you are using a somewhat new nvidia card all you need to do is install nvidia-settings and you can use that to configure everything
[09:18] <executionist> i am a noob, installed ubuntu yesterday, i am not sure of that
[09:18] <HAL9000> Elven2: Its saved me a time or 2
[09:18] <keram> score, thanks!
[09:18] <ajhtiredwolf> Hmmm this is kinda troubling, the ftp starts when the computer starts, do you know how to disable that?
[09:19] <executionist> but i can see nividia control panel in system> adminiistration
[09:19] <_hase> Is there someway that my pcmcia card could be disabled?
[09:19] <ajhtiredwolf> Oh wait a second
[09:19] <ajhtiredwolf> Crap
[09:19] <keram> ajhtiredwolf, ftp server? 'sudo /etc/init.d/ftpd stop' or something along those lines
[09:19] <UnionPivo> executionist, and when you run it ?
[09:19] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: you can use update-rd.c
[09:20] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: see the manual on specifics.
[09:20] <ajhtiredwolf> keram, that will stop it after its been executed but wont prvent it from starting when the pc starrts
[09:20] <zcat[1]_> hmmmm.. how do I make qtwengophone go via pulseaudio rather than access ALSA directly?
[09:20] <Chousuke> er
[09:20] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, I think that I actually havent made progress on this haha
[09:20] <executionist> i see the config screen and everything. but the highest i can select is 640x480, and it goes as lo as 320x240
[09:20] <Chousuke> update-rc.d
[09:20] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, I think I can ONLY connect to this ftp locally
[09:20] <score> keram: did that fix?
[09:20] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: well then something is blocking access to the port :)
[09:21] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: you may need to configure a port forward in your router.
[09:21] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, I can open the port manually
[09:21] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, but that isnt the problem
[09:21] <keram> score, yep, i always forget how to fix that damn error. this time i am writing it down :]
[09:22] <UnionPivo> executionist, when you go to screen 0 does it detect your card properly ?
[09:22] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, well reguardless of that, do you know if by default will users connect in passive mode?
[09:22] <joseph_cheah> how to configure (ifconfig) ? there are no returns after i type ifconfig in terminal
[09:22] <UnionPivo> executionist, under the GPU part
[09:22] <executionist> yes
[09:23] <executionist> nvidia FX 5500
[09:23] <oobe> joseph_cheah, ifconfig eth0 up
[09:23] <executionist> it is detecting it properly
[09:23] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: I don't even know what ftp software you're using so I can't comment on the defaults (and I can't even if I knew, really :/)
[09:23] <oobe> or ifconfig wlan0 up or whatever
[09:23] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: isn't passive mode a client side choice anyway?
[09:24] <UnionPivo> executionist, ok go under system administration, system log
[09:24] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, no problem. It just seems like its common when both users are behin routers
[09:24] <pabix> Hello! I noticed today that I cannot do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go to text mode… any command to switch?
[09:24] <executionist> k
[09:24] <UnionPivo> executionist, and select X.org.log
[09:24] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: you can use active mode if you add a port forward.
[09:24] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, in allot of programs i know that it trys passive after active doesnt work
[09:24] <executionist> done
[09:24] <RandyboY> I think i have corrupted grub on my machine when ive installed ubuntu on my usb-stick. Can i and if i can hvow do i fix it on my machine? Ive started the machine in the livecd now...
[09:25] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, I think passive mode is still fast so long as its just one user, passive mode means that the load goes entirely on the server rigth?
[09:25] <UnionPivo> executionist, there will be a lot there, first scan for any eroors
[09:25] <Chousuke> ajhtiredwolf: I don't know any specifics, I don't use FTP :/
[09:25] <oobe> RandyboY, run grub from console
[09:25] <ajhtiredwolf> Chousuke, im pretty sure thats what happens, which would be fine, I think its only a problem for large servers
[09:25] <oobe> and google reinstall grub
[09:25] <owen1> how to compile dwm?
[09:26] <executionist> well there is alot there, and its hard so i have to scroll right every single line
[09:26] <RandyboY> oobe, from he livecd?
[09:26] <oobe> RandyboY, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[09:26] <RandyboY> the
[09:26] <RandyboY> oobe, thanks :)
[09:27] <UnionPivo> executionist, if there is an error its starts with Error: or Err:  or something like that
[09:27] <oobe> RandyboY, i used to use that link all the time comes up in google 2nd hit for grub reinstall ubunru
[09:27] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: afaik passive mode only means the client inititates all connections.. http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
[09:27] <FAJALOU> going to bed all, thank you HAL9000  Jordan_U bazhang and anyone else i forgot to mention!!!
[09:27] <UnionPivo> on the left side
[09:27] <executionist> UnionPivo there are no errors
[09:27] <FAJALOU> if anyone wants to work on a problem here is one for you:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5592945#post5592945
[09:28] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: the "load" is the same in both setups.. the server still sends the packages to the client.. no difference there
[09:28] <UnionPivo> executionist, ok then go to section that starts with (II)NVIDIA  ...   or something similar
[09:28] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, hmm ive always been told that passive mode is slower
[09:28] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, is that true?
[09:28] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: I can't see a reason for it to be slower
[09:29] <executionist> i see alot of (II) 's here
[09:29] <UnionPivo> executionist, can you copy paste thet section down tyo some pasty service ?
[09:29] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, well in passive mode i upload about 5k
[09:30] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, with a direct connection and the port opened i upload at 400k
[09:30] <UnionPivo> executionist, or just copy paste everything
[09:30] <RandyboY> oobe, second command into the thread didnt work ;) grub> find /boot/grub/stabgel ---> Error 15: File not found
[09:30] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: everything else is the same?
[09:30] <whitedox> how would I go about disabling an integrated video card? I believe it is interfering with the other card  I am using, preventing resolution changes.
[09:30] <executionist> paste here?
[09:30] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, yep, this is my experience on DC++ and AMSN
[09:30] <kerryn> hi
[09:30] <UnionPivo> whitedox, the easiet/best way is in bios
[09:31] <executionist> where to paste it UnionPivo
[09:31] <ajhtiredwolf> although the amsn version available to ubuntu doesnt work right now so cant test it :-P
[09:31] <oobe> RandyboY, how many hard drives and partitions do you have maybe you should mount you root partition first
[09:31] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: ehh.. are we still talking about ftp?
[09:31] <kerryn> how do i add more memory to linux
[09:31] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, well ftp should be the same
[09:31] <whitedox> Alright thanks. I will come back with results I guess.
[09:31] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, or at least i think so? Maybe not
[09:31] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: I'm talking about passive ftp transfers..nothing else
[09:31] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: no.. very no.. very very no
[09:31] <UnionPivo> executionist, go to pastey.net  or similar
[09:32] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, oh I assumed that they were the same, that is where im getting confused :p
[09:32] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: DC++ uses other mechanisms.. and amsn a third kind
[09:32] <LFjob> Hi, how do I play swf files?
[09:32] <RandyboY> oobe, i have one hdd with some partitions. one of them with ubuntu and one with XP and some dell utilities and stuff...
[09:32] <bazhang> LFjob, vlc
[09:32] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, oh I see. ah well, if they are both equally good then great, i wont worry about changing anything
[09:32] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: in amsn passive mode means you send everything to the amsn server which then sends it to the other person
[09:32] <LFjob> bazhang, ok thanks.
[09:32] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, ah yeah  that would make sense as to why it is so much slower
[09:33] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, hey do you know if you can specify just ONE application to a port that you opeend? it seems kinda risky to just completely open a port
[09:33] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: in dc++ passive mode ... well.. iirc it should be the same as ftp (even though it doesn't use the ftp protocol)
[09:34] <dumbdum> Hi, ubuntu 8.04 seems to be getting slower by the minute, apps are not opening or are taking a long time. Any help appreciated.
[09:34] <oddalot> anyone know how to keep a button from going to a new line every time in html (form button i guess)
[09:34] <oddalot> err
[09:34] <oddalot> wrong channel
[09:34] <lesshaste> how do I start the ssh service?
[09:34] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: I don't think you can do that in any easy way.. what application are you opening a port for?
[09:34] <lesshaste> from the menu system?
[09:34] <ajhtiredwolf> dumbdum, did you recently install something?
[09:34] <UnionPivo> dumbdum, are you sure its not some indexing ?
[09:34] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, just the ftp, thats really all I have in mind right now
[09:34] <bazhang> dumbdum, open a terminal and type top to see what is using memory
[09:35] <dumbdum> Firefox wont open at all, nor will anything else. No I didnt install anything.
[09:35] <LFjob> I just installed VLC, it doesn't play swf files.
[09:35] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: well, make sure you use a sensible ftp server, configure it correctly and it shouldn't be a problem.. google for chroot if you want to add some extra security
[09:35] <dumbdum> Konsole wont open.
[09:35] <Slart> !chroot
[09:35] <Slart> bah.. nevermind that..
[09:35] <steelhead> how do you get init 3 to function in ubuntu?
[09:36] <ajhtiredwolf> dumbdum, are you using kde?
[09:36] <RandyboY> oobe, i see now what i have done. Ive made the partition with my ubuntuinstall to a swat partition... Is my ubuntu gone for good then?
[09:36] <schmick> dumbdum: check if ffox is running with System Monitor... if it is... kill it.
[09:36] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart,  haha no way im not doing chroot again
[09:36] <AdvoWork> hi there, anyone know how I can search my mail logs(mail.log) for emails going to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:36] <executionist> http://pastey.net/93880
[09:36] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, I messed iwth that one time, and it opened a hole bunch of security flaws
[09:37] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, which the person that wrote the tutorial only wrote at the END of the tutorial hah
[09:37] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: to use an old meme.. "then you're doing it wrong" =)
[09:37] <schmick> RandyboY: ... partitions with format as.. is usualy fatal.
[09:37] <quatar-it> hi all. so no one can see an unique broken packet when sometimes firefox, eye of gnome, terminal and others applications become urresponsive at the same time (even if i launch one of them after the matter to happen)...?
[09:37] <quatar-it> broken packet or i don't know what...
[09:37] <dumbdum> Apps apear on the panel and say "starting Firefox... etc, but then just close
[09:37] <RandyboY> schmick, i know... i used mkswap
[09:37] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, well i followed this tutorial that was tailored towards using ssh, at the end of the tutorial someone replyed "doesnt that give them root access" to which he replied WOOPS yes
[09:37] <quatar-it> memtest (40mins) reported 0 errs
[09:38] <UnionPivo> AdvoWork, what program and what server (smtp ) did you use ?
[09:38] <dumbdum> System monitor wont open.
[09:38] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, which was one of the main reasons for my reinstall :p
[09:38] <executionist> did u get ittt UnionPivo http://pastey.net/93880
[09:38] <ajhtiredwolf> dumbdum, type gnome-system-monitor
[09:38] <bazhang> dumbdum, how are you on irc
[09:38] <UnionPivo> executionist, no, i'll check it out now
[09:38] <Ububegin> I tried to kill processid... but it wont die.. any other more potent command
[09:38] <dumbdum> On a different com!?
[09:38] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: hmm..  I get sudo sshd
[09:39] <lesshaste> sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path
[09:39] <tenbytes> how do i find where apt-get put files it installed at?
[09:39] <schmick> Ububegin: you must know the processID of what you are trying to kill.
[09:39] <dumbdum> This one is Mint Daryna, the one with the problem is Ubuntu 8.04
[09:39] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: I think you need to find a better howto
[09:39] <AdvoWork> UnionPivo it sent from phps mail() functio
[09:40] <hateball> lesshaste: assuming openssh-server is installed, /etc/init.d/sshd start
[09:40] <bazhang> dumbdum, what about livecd; does that work
[09:40] <Ububegin> schmick: worked wonders... thanks
[09:40] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, well this proftpd program has an option for locking users in their home, if it does its job that would be ideal
[09:40] <dumbdum> I'll try
[09:40] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, thats really all im trying to do
[09:40] <DIFH-iceroot> lesshaste: /etc/init.d/ssh start
[09:40] <reikalusikka> why don't I get any sound while playing youtube videos?
[09:41] <lesshaste>  apparently not..sudo: /etc/init.d/sshd: command not found
[09:41] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: I think proftp has a pretty good reputation.. but I can't really say I know a lot about ftp servers
[09:41] <lesshaste> DIFH-iceroot, it seems to be in /usr/sbin/sshd
[09:41] <hateball> lesshaste: it's ssh not sshd... had a blonde moment ;)
[09:41] <william__> anyone here running cedega?
[09:41] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, yeah its actually really user friendly, it looks like the only problem i was having was once again, with the tutorial
[09:41] <lesshaste> hateball, doesn't help anyway... it's not in that directory
[09:41] <DIFH-iceroot> lesshaste: you have to use /etc/init.d/ssh start and not /etc/init.d/sshd start
[09:41] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, I am so used to having to use a tutorial before anyhting works that i didnt try the default options first haha
[09:42] <lesshaste> ah....
[09:42] <hateball> lesshaste: have you done 'sudo apt-get install ssh' ?
[09:42] <lesshaste> thanks!
[09:42] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, ubunu is actually getting suprisingly user friendly though, install, open, your done
[09:42] <lesshaste> how mysterious
[09:42] <Slart> ajhtiredwolf: they've put in a lot of work to make it that way
[09:42] <lesshaste> so..
[09:42] <lesshaste> sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[09:42] <lesshaste>  * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd                             [ OK ]
[09:42] <lesshaste> but
[09:42] <FloodBot1> lesshaste: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:42] <lesshaste>  ssh -p 2001 localhost
[09:42] <lesshaste> ssh: connect to host localhost port 2001: Connection refused
[09:43] <zupb> guys, please.SOS http://paste.ubuntu.com/37673/
[09:43] <ajhtiredwolf> Slart, yeah it is really neat to see that in linux, at my university ive actually seen a good majority of the ocmputers in the math department running ubuntu.
[09:43] <RandyboY> lesshaste, read what i wrote you in the other chan.
[09:43]  * lesshaste apologises
[09:43] <DIFH-iceroot> lesshaste: port 2001????
[09:43] <hateball> lesshaste: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[09:43] <ogzy> how was the downloading of dependencies of a package via apt
[09:43] <hateball> lesshaste: if you need it to use port 2001... or any other port
[09:43] <lesshaste> I am trying to follow these instructions http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/excerpt/ssh_11/index3.html
[09:44] <UnionPivo> executionist, try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

[09:44] <reikalusikka> why don't I get any sound from youtube videos?
[09:44] <ogzy> i mean i want to redownload a package that is already installed to my system with its dependencies again
[09:44] <cwe> hello
[09:44] <reikalusikka> they play fine and when I play a song from HD it works
[09:44] <executionist> error
[09:44] <ogzy> how can i do it

[09:45] <cwe> vds
[09:45] <UnionPivo> its not an error, its just a warning
[09:45] <executionist> hmm
[09:46] <executionist> it didnt proceed after that, so i assumed
[09:46] <UnionPivo> executionist,  now type less /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:46] <globolog> hello. anybody knows where to change the repositories the alternate installer uses ?
[09:47] <globolog> or or alternatively a way to prevent the alternate installer from configuring the network interface ?
[09:47] <lesshaste> hateball, can I just list ports separated by commas? Port 22, 2001 ?
[09:47] <executionist> done
[09:47] <dhg_> a
[09:47] <DIFH-iceroot> if i had a user without ssh login (passwd = /bin/false), will cronjobs work for that user? because he has no shell
[09:47] <hateball> lesshaste: No, put it on a separate row
[09:47] <UnionPivo> executionist, and paste everything below Section "Monitor"
[09:47] <DIFH-iceroot> i cant test it on this machine
[09:47] <lesshaste> hateball, Port 22 (newline) Port 2001
[09:47] <lesshaste> ?
[09:48] <hateball> lesshaste: yup
[09:48] <lesshaste> thanks
[09:48] <hateball> lesshaste: and then /etc/init.d/ssh reload
[09:48] <executionist> i can only scroll a little towards the top, and not after that. the "monitor" section may be above that
[09:48] <schmick> globolog: installer configuring a network interface?.. can you expand a little?.. what alternate installer?
[09:48] <bhanu> any body is there
[09:48] <executionist> which is inaccessible as i cant scroll there
[09:48] <executionist> ah wait here it is
[09:48] <executionist> sorry
[09:48] <ajhtiredwolf> Hey I remember there was a way to make your graphics card take the load of your webcam, but i cant remember how, anyone in here know?
[09:48] <lesshaste> thanks hateball
[09:49] <executionist> http://pastey.net/93881
[09:49] <executionist> ^ UnionPivo
[09:49] <UnionPivo> executionist, ok will take a look
[09:49] <geev> any body knows am writing a small script that will connect to remote computer so how i will tell the script to fill user name and password when it is executed
[09:49] <trigpin> have problem with gnome network manger i can't make the icon appear , i tryed sudo nm-applet still nothing
[09:50] <AdvoWork> anyone ever come across this before? 550-Unrouteable address 550 Sender verify failed
[09:51] <globolog> schmick: i need to prevent the alternate installer from accessing the internet repositories
[09:51] <dumbdum> can anyone tell me the correct syntax to delete a file from the garbage bin?
[09:52] <globolog> im doing a kickstart install that should not connect th the internet
[09:52] <bazhang> !trash
[09:52] <globolog> even with an active connection
[09:52] <schmick> globolog: you mean the alternate ubuntu cd?... the text installer?
[09:52] <globolog> so i thought of two possibilities: 1) not configure the interface 2) removing the repo info
[09:53] <globolog> yes, the ubuntu server install cd
[09:53] <lesshaste> hateball, hmm.. it's not working.. can I pm you please?
[09:53] <hateball> lesshaste: sure
[09:53] <executionist> UnionPivo umm can i get back in 15 mins. i have to go for lunch :/
[09:54] <Tanzanite> any body knows on writing shell script, am writing a small script file that will be connect to remote computer so how i will tell the script to fill user name and password when it is executed
[09:55] <xnv> Tanzanite: Better to ask in #bash
[09:55] <schmick> ohhh.. hmmmm... maybe not an elegant way, but.. in /etc/network/interfaces you can define eth0 with some fake IP.... it'll fail to receive or transmit to the router.
  thank you
[09:56] <globolog> ive tried that, but then the installer comes up with gateway not reachable
[09:56] <globolog> any way to disable the network part of the alternate installer ?
[09:57] <dumbdum> Is there a "restore" function like in windows System restore in Ubuntu 8.04?
[09:57] <bazhang> dumbdum, does the livecd work
[09:57] <dumbdum> No
[09:58] <dumbdum> And i dont know what to do if it did?
[09:58] <schmick> I'm out of ideas globolog... maybe messing with init.d to disable the eth scripts.
[09:58] <reikalusikka> they play fine and when I play a song from HD it works
[09:58] <bazhang> what does not work in livecd dumbdum
[09:58] <reikalusikka> why don't I get any sound from youtube videos?
[09:59] <dumbdum> It wont boot up from the live Cd. Gets so far and goes blank.
[09:59] <megat> how can i install psybnc in ubuntu?
[09:59] <sidneywhat> Please any help on slow firewire
[09:59] <bazhang> dumbdum, how did you install it then
[09:59] <dumbdum> Install what?
[09:59] <schmick> reikalusikka: it might be your flash... try the beta version 10.0 .. it's on adobe.com.
[09:59] <geek_> megat: its not in the repos so it may need to be compiled
[10:00] <reikalusikka> schmick: ok
[10:00] <megat> geek_: what can i do
[10:00] <ERICH_lap> how do I ensure that restricted drivers (atheros ath0) load on startup? Have a Netgear Wg511T that worked until a reboot last night.
[10:00] <cwe> hello
[10:00] <bazhang> dumbdum, you said nothing worked on your kubuntu 8.04, at which point I suggested you try the livecd; if that never worked then how did you install kubuntu in the first place
[10:00] <dumbdum> Ive had 8.04 installed since it came out
[10:01] <dumbdum> I dont have Kubuntu, its Ubuntu 8.04
[10:01] <bazhang> dumbdum, you said konsole would not open
[10:01] <dumbdum> Everything was great untill today when I deleted some windows file from my network into the garbage bin.
[10:01] <ajhtiredwolf> dumbdum, its just confusing to say konsole becasue that is what its called in kde,(kubuntu) in ubuntu its called terminal
[10:02] <dumbdum> I thought it was the same thing

[10:48] <Pentarex> DIFH-iceroot: how to install medibuntu
[10:48] <ikonia> mu91t: or open synaptic and get it from the repos
[10:48] <DIFH-iceroot> mu91t: apt-get install gnome-mplayer says its not a debian package?
[10:48] <bazhang> mu91t, you need to open up synaptic package manager first
[10:48] <lesshaste> Mikelevel, where?
[10:48] <mu91t> Yes it shows an error message like this
[10:49] <timoguin> Pentarex: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[10:49] <ikonia> mu91t: no it doesn't
[10:49] <DIFH-iceroot> Pentarex: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

[10:55] <Flannel> Pentarex: paste the contents here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/  then give us the URL
[10:55] <kazuni> gvim!
[10:55] <timoguin> actually, he just used the instructions on the medibuntu wiki, so the file would be /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[10:56] <mu91t> right buddy
[10:56] <Flannel> timoguin: Right, I don't want that, I want the rest of them.
[10:56] <isharis> cool
[10:56] <timoguin> Flannel: yea i just realized that after typing that.
[10:56] <Pentarex> Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/37683/
[10:56] <timoguin> it's 5:00 AM.  i'm going to bed... too much scrolling.
[10:57] <Flannel> Pentarex: You're on gutsy.
[10:57] <Pentarex> o damn wrong disc :D
[10:57] <monia> hi, where to install icons theme?
[10:57] <Pentarex> i have to install 8.04
[10:57] <Pentarex> or its better on gutsy
[10:57] <Flannel> Pentarex: which is why the hardy version of skype wont work for you.  The gutsy version will, or you can install Hardy.  Yep.
[10:57] <Ziroday> monia: Go to System > Preferences > Appearance
[10:57] <ikonia> monia: open them managed and drop them / drag and drop into theme manager
[10:57] <timoguin> Pentarex: it works fine on gutsy.
[10:57] <carrera> Greetings Earthlings!
[10:57] <Flannel> Pentarex: Hardy is probably a better bet
[10:58] <timoguin> Pentarex: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[10:58] <Flannel> Pentarex: but yes, gutsy will work just fine.  But if its a fresh install, I'd go with Hardy
[10:58] <timoguin> just go back and do the instructions for gutsy
[10:58] <Flannel> timoguin: He doesn't need that
[10:58] <carrera> is there an Alarm app in ubuntu?
[10:58] <timoguin> Flannel: he has gutsy install.  why would we tell him to install hardy if he just wants skype?
[10:58] <timoguin> *installed
[10:59] <Flannel> timoguin: From what it sounds like, he *just* installed gutsy, and did so by mistake.
[10:59] <mu91t> so guys can you help me how to use irc in ubuntu
[10:59] <ikonia> monia: your using it
[10:59] <ikonia> opps
[10:59] <ikonia> mu91t: your using it
[11:00] <carrera> is there task organizer with alarms in Ubuntu?
[11:00] <mettler> hi, i have  ubuntu hardy Servers all with software Raid1 (normal CD-Installation). when i turn off the server and pull off a disk, it  keeps dropping me to BusyBox after powerOn.
[11:00] <geek_> ikonia: giving him the benefit of doubt, he could be on another box ;p
[11:00] <ikonia> geek_: thats all he has to say
[11:00] <Ziroday> carrera: yes in the mail client, evolution mail
[11:00] <acp_> Hi any idea why after installing User Profile Editor (a.k.a. sabayon) i could not any more add user using user Settings?
[11:00] <mettler> the only solutions i found are from users, and there are several different approches -like 100lines of shellscript placed inside of initramfs
[11:00] <geek_> ikonia: ahh
[11:01] <Pentarex> Flannel: ok i find 8.04 after install i will come back '_
[11:01] <Pentarex> ;)
[11:01] <mu91t> I am using ubuntu 8.04 how can i install something
[11:01] <ikonia> mu91t: open synaptic package manager
[11:01] <mettler> can't use Ubuntu with raid1 on servers at the moment because they won't recover themselves from HDD crashes
[11:01] <acp_> after I add the user seem that its not registering in my system
[11:01] <ikonia> mu91t: search for the package, then click install
[11:01] <carrera> Thanks Ziroday, any simpler/lighter app for just organizing tasks?
[11:01] <Pentarex> Flannel: and hardy isn hard eh :P
[11:01] <Flannel> Pentarex: Nope
[11:01] <DIFH-iceroot> mu91t: ....... "sudo apt-get install here_the_name_of_what_you_want_install"
[11:01] <joaopinto> mu91t, you can also use the Add/Remove from the Applications menu
[11:01] <Flannel> mu91t: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[11:01] <Ziroday> carrera: erm I am sure there is some in the repos, you might want to take a look at orage or rainlender
[11:01] <mu91t> ikonia: Its not listed in the package manager
[11:01] <timoguin> Pentarex: just save that site and use those same instructions after you get hardy installed.
[11:01] <ikonia> mu91t: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/index.html
[11:02] <carrera> Ziroday, awesome, thanks dude
[11:02] <ikonia> mu91t: that url will explain to you how to use the package manager
[11:02] <Ziroday> carrera: but I don't know if they do alarms
[11:02] <joaopinto> mu91t, you asked about "something", you need to be more specific ;)
[11:02] <carrera> Ziroday, i'll take a look
[11:02] <mu91t> ikonia: thanks
[11:03] <mu91t> joaopinto: i want to install a package which is not listed in package manager
[11:03] <ikonia> mu91t: which package
[11:03] <joaopinto> mu91t, which package ?
[11:03] <goldenaussie> Gday all....
[11:03] <Flannel> Howdy goldenaussie
[11:03] <goldenaussie> How are you all doing?
[11:03] <mettler> raid1 in ubuntu does not self-recover after a disk-failure - do u guys know about an official patch? or how do u solve this?
[11:03] <goldenaussie> Hope you guys/gals dont mind me joining?
[11:03] <ikonia> mettler: what do you mean self recover
[11:04] <Flannel> goldenaussie: We're all doing fine, nope, don't mind, but if you're looking to chat, we ask you do that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:04] <mettler> pull off a disk an boot
[11:04] <ikonia> mettler: if a disk fails, the box carries on - no problem
[11:04] <carrera> Ziroday, fyi: Orage provides alerts based on dates
[11:04] <mu91t> joaopinto: its irc client and gnome mplayer
[11:04] <mettler> system should come up by itself with only one disk
[11:04] <Ziroday> carrera: sweet
[11:04] <joaopinto> mu91t, gnome mplayer is available from the repositories
[11:04] <ikonia> mu91t: you have been told 5 times how to install gnome player
[11:04] <mettler> no, it does not - it drops me to busybox
[11:04] <joaopinto> make sure you have the proper repositories enabled
[11:04] <joaopinto> mu91t, which irc client ?
[11:04] <mettler> hardy/gutsy cd install with raid1 on two disks
[11:04] <carrera> Ziroday, Orage "is highly configurable and supports alerts based on dates. It warns you with popup or audio alarm. As it is an application kind-of every day use it launches itself in the background as a daemon."
[11:04] <mettler> driving me mad
[11:05] <ikonia> mettler: boot from the livecd, mount the disk and check what lines your grub setup is pointing at
[11:05] <mu91t> joaopinto: sudo apt get command shows an error
[11:05] <Ziroday> carrera: thanks
[11:05] <ikonia> mettler: that happens if grub is not installed correctly
[11:05] <ikonia> mu91t: no it didn't
[11:05] <ikonia> mu91t: you didn't type it as you where told to
[11:05] <joaopinto> !universe | mu91t
[11:05] <carrera> Ziroday, welcome
[11:05] <joaopinto> you must enable the universe repository, check the instructions from ubottu
[11:05] <thomasite> Hello, everyone.
[11:05] <thomasite> I have a problem with my Frostwire.
[11:05] <Flannel> joaopinto: Universe is enabled by default on Hardy
[11:06] <mettler> ikonia it was installed by the hardy CD, and i've spend the last ~3month with grub setups - finally found out that there is a bug in ubuntu raid1 - but was posted 2007
[11:06] <joaopinto> Flannel, I dont know which distro he is using, I just know universe is not enabled on it's configuration, judging from his complain ;)
[11:06] <mu91t> loaopinto : I am trying to install fi-0.0.26
[11:06] <ikonia> joaopinto: it is enabled
[11:06] <Flannel> joaopinto: No, he's just not being helpful.
[11:06] <ikonia> joaopinto: it's user error
[11:06] <ikonia> mu91t: deal with gnome-mplayer first
[11:06] <joaopinto> ok :\
[11:07] <thomasite> I wonder if someone can help me with my problem with FrostWire.
[11:07] <ikonia> mettler: I've had disks fail on ubuntu 6.06-through to 8.04 and they have been fine
[11:07] <mu91t> yes i think you are right ikonia i am probably getting ahead of myself
[11:07] <carrera> Ziroday, Rainlendar has alarms for both events and tasks
[11:07] <joaopinto> thomasite, try asking :)
[11:07] <thomasite> The installation was fine but when I click on it (from the Applications menu), nothing happens.
[11:07] <mettler> ikonia: ive spend days on grub - anyway take a fresh server, install any ubuntu, power off - pull off a disk, and power it on   -it will not boot without user interactin
[11:08] <thomasite> From the fora I've read on the web, it seems that I have to install Java first.
[11:08] <ikonia> mettler: I'll check that, as all the disk fails I've had, have been fine, no issue
[11:08] <joaopinto> mettler, that is being worked for Intrepid, unanttented boot from a degraded RAID
[11:08] <ikonia> mettler: I didn't use the raid installer as I don't trust it, I installed then ported it to raid
[11:08] <mu91t> thanks a lot guys bye
[11:08] <thomasite> How do I know, from the terminal, that the correct Java version (the one which will make FrostWire work) is installed in my laptop?
[11:09] <jigp> how to know if my ssh is running? i cannot access in remote local
[11:09] <mettler> joaopinto: what do u mean with "work for Intrepid,"
[11:09] <joaopinto> ThomasGHenry1, you can get a frostwire package from getdeb, the package was developed to work with ubuntu
[11:09] <ikonia> jigp: what is a remove local
[11:09] <joaopinto> mettler, I mean, that is beeing worked for the future Ubuntu version (named Intrepid)
[11:09] <ikonia> jigp: remote local
[11:09] <thomasite> how do i do that, joaopinto?
[11:10] <joaopinto> thomasite, www.getdeb.net/app/frostwire
[11:10] <thomasite> i already have frostwire<something>.deb in my desktop
[11:10] <mettler> joaopinto: ah ok thx ! -so i might try the first betas and have a look at the ramfs scripts
[11:10] <joaopinto> thomasite, but that one was download form the frostwire site, right ?
[11:10] <jigp> ikonia : i tried to access like: ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:10] <thomasite> yes, joao.
[11:10] <ikonia> jigp: ok so ps -ef | grep sshd
[11:10] <thomasite> so i have to download from the getdeb website.
[11:11] <joaopinto> thomasite, the getdeb .deb was changed, it's more integrated with Ubuntu
[11:11] <joaopinto> it should guarantee that the required java version will also be installed
[11:11] <newbe1> I have a SanDisk MP3 Player  need a good music player for it   Thanks
[11:11] <jigp> ikonia :  ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:11] <jigp> ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: Connection refused
[11:11] <ikonia> jigp: why are you showing me that
[11:11] <ikonia> jigp: I've just told you what to do
[11:11] <thomasite> ok. i'm downloading it now.
[11:12] <joaopinto> thomasite, if it doesn't work, complain to me :P
[11:12] <thomasite> how do i uninstall the frostwire version that i had downloaded from the frostwire website?
[11:12] <thomasite> hahaha
[11:12] <thomasite> :)
[11:12] <joaopinto> thomasite, search for it on the package manager, and remove it
[11:12] <thomasite> synaptic?
[11:12] <joaopinto> or from the terminal: sudo apt-get remove frostwire
[11:12] <joaopinto> yes, synaptic
[11:13] <joaopinto> all packages inatalled from .debs are listed there
[11:13] <thomasite> i feel somehow better working with the terminal
[11:13] <thomasite> thanks
[11:13] <thomasite> will do it now.
[11:13] <joaopinto> ops, installed

[11:14] <thomasite> frostwire's already removed. now it's time for me to wait for the getdeb version.
[11:14] <asathoor> thomasite >> sudo apt-get remove PACKAGENAME
[11:14] <thomasite> thanks, joaopinto. :)
[11:14] <clever> !info
[11:14] <thomasite> thanks, asathoor.
[11:14] <ikonia> jigp: so then you are either a.) not connecting to the correct box b.) or a firewall is blocking you
[11:14] <thomasite> once frostwire is downloaded, i'll just double-click on it, no?

[11:19] <Pirate_Hunter> thomasite: in synaptic look for java and install it or you could just install ubuntu restricted which comes with it and a few other useful modules
[11:19] <ikonia> Blaqlight: you don't "need" to compile it
[11:20] <laburd> Ahhh automake
[11:20] <Blaqlight> ikonia, the repos version does not work, so Im compiling it.

[11:21] <ikonia> Blaqlight: in what way
[11:21] <Blaqlight> ikonia, it just crashes.

[11:23] <lesshaste> ikonia, ok..how do you increase the volume in mencoder?
[11:24] <thomasite> joaopinto, how do i do that in the terminal? sudo apt-get?
[11:24] <ikonia> mettler: look at the audio codec options
[11:24] <mo0n_sniper> I've installed and configured lm-sensors but I can't find the hardware section in ksysguard to add sensors
[11:24] <joaopinto> thomasite, you can also do it from synaptic,
[11:24] <mo0n_sniper> it was in gutsy

[11:25] <thomasite> I'm now installing java-6.
[11:25] <ikonia> jigp: for my own interest can you stop/start ssh see if you get any warnings
[11:25] <thomasite> Thanks, Pirate_Hunter. java-common is already installed in my laptop.
[11:25] <thomasite> :)
[11:26] <Pirate_Hunter> thomasite: its already installed and still giving you problems?
[11:26] <abc> hello everyone! this is my first to use IRC chat
[11:26] <acp_> this had happen after I have install User Profile editor
[11:26] <thomasite> Pirate_Hunter, java-common is already installed but frostwire still doesn't install properlu.
[11:26] <kazuni> question: is there any media player that does codec detection and auto install required codecs ?
[11:26] <thomasite> properly
[11:27] <guntbert> question about update-manager: what is the meaning of the section 'distribution updates' in the upper window?
[11:28] <Pirate_Hunter> thomasite: do install sun-java as joaopinto instructed, I have that as well it seems that package is the environment to run programs not just java-commons
[11:28] <ikonia> guntbert: where you not in here asking about this yesteday
[11:28] <jigp> ikonia : no warning ~$ sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd
[11:28] <abc> I want to know if there are chinese people there?
[11:28] <guntbert> ikonia, yes but I didnt see any answer, thought today there might  be different people :-)
[11:28] <carrera> anyone use any of Evolution, Rainlendar and Sunbird?
[11:29] <ikonia> jigp: it's running, all good, you can "ping" localhost, so you know your neworking is there, are you using tcp_wrappers at all (/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny)
[11:29] <ikonia> guntbert: but no-one could see what you where talking about yesterday
[11:30] <jigp> ikonia : ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: Connection refused
[11:31] <ikonia> jigp: ping show me the output of "ifconfig -a" in a pastebin please
[11:31] <guntbert> ikonia, so I need to clarify: yesterday in update-manager there was after 'security-updates',... a section 'distribution updates' containing som lib
[11:31] <ikonia> guntbert: it means an update the distro
[11:31] <ikonia> guntbert: a security update - can also be a distro update, if it's replacing a library
[11:32] <thomasite> Yes, Pirate_Hunter.  I'm still downloading it. :) Thanks again.
[11:32] <ikonia> jigp: to make it easier debugging I suggest also you use localhost
[11:32] <jigp> ikonia : http://pastebin.com/m61bf1d54
[11:32] <guntbert> ikonia,  the 2nd sentence clarifies it for me, thx
[11:33] <pengo> so is there an easy way to setup ubuntu as a (nat) router without editing a million files?
[11:33] <ikonia> jigp: can we work on getting it working on localhost first, rather than a wirless card
[11:33] <ikonia> pengo: not really no
[11:33] <ikonia> pengo: you have to have a reasonable understanding of what your doing
[11:34] <pengo> ikonia: :/
[11:34] <jigp> ikonia : ok :)
[11:34] <pengo> ikonia: i'm ok without doing it, i'm not so sure i'll be able to get everything back again tho to turn it off
[11:34] <ikonia> jigp: oh so "ssh -vv localhost"
[11:35] <ikonia> pengo: if you can do it - you should know it's one command to turn it off
[11:35] <jigp> ikonia : http://pastebin.com/me7b55d7
[11:35] <pengo> ikonia: hm k
[11:36] <Pentarex> Flannel: so i am back ;)
[11:36] <pengo> ikonia: i've got a howto in front of me and it's long :/
[11:36] <ikonia> pengo: so ?
[11:36] <clever> there
[11:36] <clever> wrong room:P
[11:36] <ikonia> pengo: a how to is not knowing what your doing
[11:37] <ikonia> jigp: thats odd
[11:37] <pengo> ikonia: in some other OS made by a redmond company it's a checkbox
[11:37] <ikonia> pengo: it's not in ubunu
[11:37] <pengo> and i only need it for 5 minutes
[11:37] <ikonia> pengo: how long you need it for doesn't change the facts
[11:37] <b0rsuk> Hi, I have a problem installing Kubuntu Feisty on an older computer. Breezy, Dapper and Edgy worked on it. During the partitioning process (where I select partitions manually) power goes down and my machine reboots. At no particular moment.
[11:38] <ikonia> jigp: thats most odd/frustrating
[11:38] <pengo> ikonia: that it's a pita. yes.
[11:38] <b0rsuk> Otherwise, the computer works fine, and there are no shutdowns.
[11:38] <b0rsuk> So it's not power supply or anything else.
[11:38] <moontan> hello everyone. I keep reading on websites that I should find a "hardware manager" in ubuntu-gnome's system/preferences menu but I don't. Any ideas where the option could be hiding?
[11:38] <ikonia> jigp: I don't think you'll see anything but does /var/log/auth.log or /var/log/messages give any clues ?
[11:40] <mo0n_sniper> I've installed and configured lm-sensors but I can't find the hardware section in ksysguard to add sensors
[11:40] <inmiti> ke te cuentas
[11:40] <hateball> moontan: For what reason are you looking for it?
[11:40] <jigp> ikonia : i think i will try to reboot
[11:41] <ikonia> jigp: its very odd behaviour
[11:41] <jigp> ikonia : yeah. i can access it before.now i cannot
[11:41] <hateball> moontan: Anyhow, it's under System - Administration
[11:42] <ikonia> jigp: ahh so it was working
[11:42] <ikonia> jigp: did you get an updates ?
[11:42] <moontan> I want to see how my hardware is configured. i reinstalled ubuntu after having problems with hardware abstraction layer (hal) taking ages at startup and i suspect that there was something wrong with my usb wifi adaptor.
[11:42] <jigp> ikonia : yes. everyday i get an updates..so i downloaded them
[11:42] <pabix> Hello, my Ctl-Alt-F1 is not working any more in graphical sessions, I cannot get the text-only interface… do you know a command to switch to the text-only mode?
[11:42] <ootz0rz> I want to install kde4 on my ubuntu installation (to try it out), is there any package similar to kubuntu-desktop but for kde4? or would I have to select all the kde packages myself?
[11:42] <ikonia> jigp: if you have one which is openssl based - and you don't reboot I've seen it hang ssh in that way
[11:42] <Berge> pabix: You could always run "chvt 1"
[11:43] <pabix> Berge, thank you!
[11:43] <Berge> pabix: Take a look in your xorg.conf file and see wether you've enable DontVTSwitch.
