[04:18] <wk2x> freezey: one moment

[04:19] <xbox_sky> sudo mount /media/hdc/ -o unhide
[04:19] <saaida> hope u guys don't flame im trying also to learn
[04:19] <saaida> :)
[04:19] <orbin> xbox_sky: i can't check the mount command, but where did you learn that synatx?
[04:20] <xbox_sky> from a guide on the net, ubuntu guide unofficial
[04:20] <xbox_sky> sudo mount /media/cdrom0/ -o unhide I use all the time for my dvd burner
[04:20] <orbin> xbox_sky: yes, but the /media/cdrom0 dir already exists
[04:20] <orbin> xbox_sky: cd into /media and do an ls
[04:20] <orbin> is there a hdc entry?
[04:20] <gnomefreak> saaida: the command should look like this  chmod a+x path/to/file   a+x are varibles they need to be changed to what you need them to be a+x will give all users write read privledges
[04:20] <Aaronfromchina> My laptop has a buit-in modem, but it seems doesn't work on ubuntu5.1. I went to network settings, and tried to activate it.  it said: could not enable the interface ppp0.
[04:20] <gymsmoke> anyone know how to tell which fontsets are installed on Ubuntu 5.10 ?

[04:21] <yggdrasil> can somone gime a hand in setting up a dhcp server with ubuntu .. preferebly some documentation ?
[04:21] <gnomefreak> !fonts
[04:21] <ubotu> hmm... fonts is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FontInstallHowto
[04:21] <apokryphos> yggdrasil: sudo dhclient
[04:21] <cliche> ...
[04:21] <gymsmoke> yggdrasil: when you install ubuntu server, its default is dhcp ....,
[04:22] <apokryphos> gymsmoke: well, not if you don't select it on the install.
[04:22] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: yeah, i've read through there... a bit sparse
[04:22] <yggdrasil> uh no im talkingabout making a dhcp server... not a client
[04:22] <orbin> xbox_sky: open up fstab. we're gonan edit it
[04:22] <yggdrasil> i think i got that part ifgured out
[04:22] <gymsmoke> Ubuntu 5.10 stable ...
[04:22] <yggdrasil> dhcpd
[04:22] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: it should give you a file name to look in for your fonts (wher eyou would install the new fonts)
[04:22] <orbin> xbox_sky: add a new entry: /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[04:22] <Aaronfromchina> In the modem porperty, i selected modem port as : dev/modem.  Don't know if it's right?
[04:23] <orbin> xbox_sky: save and close, and then try the mount command
[04:23] <Aaronfromchina> could anyone hlep me to setup modem?
[04:23] <cliche> 56k modem?
[04:23] <orbin> xbox_sky: i.e. sudo mount /media/cdrom/ -o unhide I
[04:23] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: it says to look in /usr/share/fonts... there are 2 dirs there - bitstream and dejavu ...
[04:23] <Aaronfromchina> cliche, yes. it's a built-in modem of my laptop.
[04:23] <Aaronfromchina> cliche, My laptop has a buit-in modem, but it seems doesn't work on ubuntu5.1. I went to network settings, and tried to activate it.  it said: could not enable the interface ppp0.
[04:24] <cliche> soft-modem?
[04:24] <cliche> ........
[04:24] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: all the info i can find about bitsream is that they are console/terminal fonts... that leaves dejavu... i don't know what that is...
[04:24] <Aaronfromchina> cliche, hardware. I think.
[04:24] <cliche> are you sure?
[04:24] <Aaronfromchina> cliche, well, not sure.   :)
[04:24] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: that would another font but im not sure what its used with/in
[04:25] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: i found out that defoma is the font configuration utility, so i got that and the docs... but the docs for this are somewhat obscure...
[04:25] <cliche> I thought only rs-232 interface modem is the REAL modem
[04:25] <Aaronfromchina> cliche, I'll figure it out. it's built-in one of my compaq presario x1000.
[04:25] <leesoon> Nautilus
[04:25] <xbox_sky> sudo mount /media/cdrom/ -o unhide I
[04:25] <xbox_sky> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[04:25] <saaida> gnomefreak : but in the manual . it says the modes should be seperated by comma
[04:25] <xbox_sky> Orbin did you see?
[04:25] <orbin> Aaronfromchina: it's probably a windmodem.  pastebin the output of the lspci command
[04:25] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: the only thing i know for sure is that, other than verdana and sans-serif, there isn't jack on this server for web pages yet...
[04:25] <Aaronfromchina> cliche, then it must be a soft modem. :)
[04:26] <saaida> gnomefreak : Multiple symbolic operations can be given, sepa
[04:26] <saaida>        rated by commas. ---> and the one u gave me doe not have commas
[04:26] <gnomefreak> saaida: a+x = 1 mode
[04:26] <saaida> ohh
[04:26] <cliche> take a real rs-232 modem (recycled) -> done.
[04:26] <xbox_sky> orbin sudo mount /media/cdrom/ -o unhide I        mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[04:27] <saaida> gnomefreak : ok thanx for clearing this ou
[04:27] <saaida> gnomefreak : ok thanx for clearing this ou t
[04:27] <gnomefreak> saaida: or you should beable to do a,x
[04:27] <B_Lizzard> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[04:27] <orbin> xbox_sky: sudo mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom -t auto
[04:27] <gnomefreak> if im not mistaken
[04:27] <orbin> xbox_sky: sorry, -t auto should be after mount
[04:27] <Aaronfromchina> cliche, the specification of the laptop doesn't explicitly say if the modem is soft or hard,
[04:27] <Aaronfromchina> cliche, does it make difference on setting it up?
[04:27] <HymnToLife> Aaronfromchina> it's most likely soft
[04:27] <cliche> Aaronfromchina, they don't want you to know, because...
[04:27] <azmansell1> hi there, can anyone help me with limewire?
[04:28] <HymnToLife> !anyone
[04:28] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? </hint>
[04:28] <cliche> !smart question
[04:28] <ubotu> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, cliche
[04:28] <Aaronfromchina> HymnToLife, thanks. I think it must be soft (according to bussiness man's mind) :)
[04:29] <cliche> !smart bot
[04:29] <ubotu> My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, cliche
[04:29] <azmansell1> i have installed limewire and all seemed to be ok (i followed the instructions in ubuntuguide.org). when i try to start the program nothing happens?
[04:29] <xbox_sky> orbin sudo mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom -t auto mount: No medium found
[04:29] <orbin> Aaronfromchina: yes. it makes it harder.  i've got a compaq presario too.  you need to use the linuxant driver if you wish to use the modem.  i was lucky and had another external modem sitting around that isn't a windmodem
[04:29] <freezey> WEBMIN ANYONE????
[04:29] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: have you ever installed fonts with defoma ?
[04:29] <orbin> xbox_sky: did you stick a disc in the drive?
[04:30] <edgardpacheco> hi people!
[04:30] <cliche> hi there
[04:30] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: no i use standard fonts
[04:30] <edgardpacheco> anyone knows a good sound format converter? i want to convert a cd music into .mp3's
[04:30] <HymnToLife> orbin> assuming the modem is Conxant chip based, which is not certain
[04:30] <HymnToLife> I hve a presario too and it was not
[04:30] <xbox_sky> orbin yup
[04:31] <azmansell1> anyone?
[04:31] <HymnToLife> www.linmodems.org is the place to figure it all out
[04:31] <xbox_sky> orbin if the dvdr would be empy no data, would it give out "no media found"?
[04:31] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: do you run a web server ?
[04:31] <Aaronfromchina> orbin, is linuxant a generic driver for modem? There is a modem device in network setting. Can it help setup a lot?
[04:31] <ptey> need help with ruby on rails in 5.04

[04:32] <ptey> need help with ruby on rails in 5.04 :)
[04:32] <orbin> xbox_sky: yes, iirc you can't mount blank discs
[04:32] <xbox_sky> orbin same result, it doesn't even load, takes a split second and then it tells me "no media"
[04:32] <HymnToLife> Aaronfromchina> yes, it's SmartLink based so it works fine with the slmodemd package
[04:33] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: hehe - my first 2 ubuntu experiences were with desktops, but i'm really a command-line guy at heart... setting up one of my companies on ubuntu was a logical next step for me...
[04:33] <ptey> need help with ruby on rails in 5.04 :)
[04:33] <freezey> wk2x: did you use wrong usid/pw
[04:33] <orbin> Aaronfromchina: that will tell you what sort of modem you have
[04:33] <untitled> how can i compile packages in ubuntu? i did install gcc, but it doesn't work like that?
[04:33] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: all the basics are working fine - dns, name server, mail, mysql, apache ... so it's on to site design/layout... hence, the fonts
[04:33] <Aaronfromchina> orbin, OK. I'll check it out. :)
[04:33] <edgardpacheco> anyone? anyone knows a good sound converter?
[04:33] <ptey> can somebody help me install ruby and ruby on rails in ubuntu 5.04?? i would be very happy:)
[04:33] <orbin> untitled: get build-essential.  what are you compiling though?
[04:33] <Aaronfromchina> HymnToLife, Thanks :)
[04:34] <edgardpacheco> a good format sound converter? that convert's audio cd's into mp3's

[04:41] <sinubutu> I have a sound problem. I have an onboard chip (ESS audio: es1869) it appears in the HAL device manager as a PnP device ( but all  the listing ion there say unknown to the categories) and I cannot get any sounds going, when I try to go in the sound preferenceas there does not seem to be a soundcard available.  I checked the wiki for old soundcard but the only reference I found was for asn old ISA soundcard with a similar chip.  any sug
[04:41] <sinubutu> estion as to what I am failing to do or see?
[04:41] <HymnToLife> yes
[04:41] <ocult> somebody here have card sound Realtek ac`97
[04:42] <ocult> ?
[04:42] <edgardpacheco> i just installed it, but i don't know how it works :(
[04:42] <marcie> I have ubuntu on my computer...but little idea of how to install any new programs (i'm not even sure about the updates i'm downloading now)
[04:42] <Aaronfromchina> orbin, it's Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01)
[04:42] <monomaniacpat> ocult: I do
[04:42] <xknight_> i have read the wiki and ndiswrapper page 10 times..... so ever one knows
[04:42] <Elazar> I'm opening an SSH connection to a server. Is me getting this error most likely a problem with the server or the client? "Read from remote host booksxyz.com: Connection reset by peer. Connection to booksxyz.com closed."
[04:42] <HymnToLife> edgardpacheco> just open a terminal and run abcde -o mp3 to rib your CD into mp3
[04:42] <eghie|werk> hello, what package does it take to mount an ext2 image (initrd image) with loop?
[04:42] <edgardpacheco> marcie: there are many ways, first you will need to update your aptitude, so you can download programs from the internet
[04:42] <monomaniacpat> ocult: actualy, maybe not, it's ac97 though
[04:42] <Shigutso> the Weather Report isn't working with my city here, even my city appearing in the list! What can I do to make it works?
[04:42] <Aaronfromchina> HymnToLife, the modem is Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01). How can I install the smartlink based?
[04:42] <edgardpacheco> marcie: for doing that, enter the terminal and type : "sudo aptitude update"
[04:43] <Aaronfromchina> HymnToLife, and what is the smartlink ?
[04:43] <ocult> monomaniacpat, pvt
[04:43] <HymnToLife> Aaronfromchina> are you sure the SmartLink driver is the one you need ?
[04:43] <marcie> ok i'll go look
[04:43] <edgardpacheco> marcie: then if you want to install something type "sudo aptitude install (here_the_name_of_the_program)"  without the parenthesis
[04:43] <xknight_> http://pastebin.com/691736
[04:43] <HymnToLife> I advise you send your modemData.txt to the linmodems mailing-list, knowledgeble folk will answer you there
[04:43] <gymsmoke> don't know why, but me and aptitude just don't get along... commandline tools i understand...
[04:44] <marcie> how do i enter the terminal here (i only used Unix with no xwindows before)
[04:44] <edgardpacheco> is there any other program with more easy handling?
[04:44] <_jason> gymsmoke: aptitude is a cli tool too
[04:44] <Aaronfromchina> HymnToLife, is smartlink a moderm driver package including loads of generic modem drivers?
[04:44] <HymnToLife> it is a modem driver package but I don't know if it will work for you
[04:44] <lowroad> What is the simplest program to use to rip a dvd into an avi or mpeg file?  I've been trying to use dvd::rip but it's not working properly
[04:44] <gymsmoke> _jason: yeah, i've tried it... it seems a bit weird to me for some reason... like it's not near as straightforward as the command line tools...
[04:44] <monomaniacpat> Can anyone lend a hand with my wireless card?
[04:44] <liquiem> marcie: alt + ctrl + Fn? ;)
[04:44] <HymnToLife> just send your modemdata.txt to the linmodems mailing-list
[04:44] <marcie> i think i would get command line better...how do i get there from here...?
[04:45] <GazzaK> is the latest nvidia drivers going to be added to package manager?
[04:45] <_jason> gymsmoke: it's pretty much the same as apt-get isn't it?
[04:45] <Aaronfromchina> HymnToLife, thank you. I see. :)
[04:45] <liquiem> marcie: or start up gnome-terminal.. applications..tools..terminal :)
[04:45] <ocult> monomaniacpat, work good ?
[04:46] <edgardpacheco> marcie: applications -> accesories -> terminal
[04:46] <gymsmoke> _jason: not for me... i open aptitude, and get broken package messages... then, when i look on the command line, they're fine... i've also found that it's easy to make mistakes with aptitude (like the time i clicked a directory by mistake and it wanted to uninstall everything i just selected)
[04:46] <freakabcd> on
[04:46] <_jason> gymsmoke: yeah, I don't use the ncurses interface, I just do like 'sudo aptitude install chromium'
[04:46] <marcie> ok i'm getting a command line...i'll look around for a bit.
[04:47] <Jatt_kol_12_borh> xknight_: Did you load the module of ndiswrapper ?
[04:47] <Jatt_kol_12_borh> if not do  lsmod |grep ndiswrapper
[04:47] <Jatt_kol_12_borh> and see what the results are ?
[04:47] <edgardpacheco> marcie: ok, good luck my comrad :D
[04:47] <gymsmoke> _jason: hehe - that's safer.  the only difference between that and the commandline is that supposedly, aptitude keeps record of what's been done...
[04:47] <monomaniacpat> Can anyone help a damsel in distress?
[04:47] <Shigutso> the Weather Report isn't working with my city here, even my city appearing in the list! What can I do to make it works?
[04:48] <edgardpacheco> monomaniacpat: what can I do for you?

[04:51] <gymsmoke> oh, sorry - shift-alt-f2
[04:52] <edgardpacheco> monomaniacpat: since when that wireless card isn't working?
[04:52] <monomaniacpat> Two days ago
[04:52] <edgardpacheco> monomaniacpat: are you connecting from a proxy server?
[04:52] <monomaniacpat> what is a proxy server?
[04:53] <edgardpacheco> monomaniacpat: a proxy server is like a gateway to the internet, sometimes that proxy needs to reboot or re-open the ports...
[04:53] <iceyes_> where can i change my lan ip and can i make it static there?
[04:53] <edgardpacheco> monomaniacpat: maybe you should call to your ISP
[04:53] <Elazar> I'm opening an SSH connection to a server. Is me getting this error most likely a problem with the server or the client? "Read from remote host booksxyz.com: Connection reset by peer. Connection to booksxyz.com closed."
[04:53] <monomaniacpat> I have a router...
[04:54] <monomaniacpat> I have network settings open now
[04:57] <Howitzer> Hi
[04:58] <xknight_> Jatt_kol_12_borh:  pm
[04:58] <marcie> well...i found the command line
[04:58] <marcie> (newbie)
[04:58] <KenSentMe> well done!
[04:58] <marcie> of course it's been 10 years since i've used unix...so i can't do much there yet
[04:59] <iceyes__> is there some stuff such ipconfig somewhere?
[05:00] <marcie> i saw it...i think...want me to try and find it again (IP configure)
[05:00] <KenSentMe> iceyes__: try ifconfig
[05:00] <monomaniacpat> I am a damsel, and I am still in distress. More, actually, now that edgard has gone
[05:00] <marcie> so i still don't know how to make my system ready for new software
[05:01] <iceyes__> KenSentMe thats what i searched thanks
[05:01] <HymnToLife> marcie > what do you mean ?
[05:01] <marcie> install on the application seems only to deal with software already available.
[05:01] <lool> hi there, is there a place where one can retrieve old version of the ubuntu binary packages?
[05:01] <marcie> Well i downloaded several programs but then they get split in parts...which i have no idea where to put
[05:01] <sinubutu> marcie the easy way is  ion the System menu > administration > synaptic package manager
[05:02] <lool> e.g. I'd like to get an older gdm.deb than the latest
[05:02] <KenSentMe> marcie: what kind of programms?
[05:02] <h0ned> Hi, i am trying to upgrade (downgrade?) the kernel to a version which was compiled with the same gcc installed on my computer....all of this in order to get the eagle-usb adsl modem driver working
[05:02] <marcie> ok trying that be back...
[05:02] <lool> h0ned: the eagle usb driver is builtin in Ubuntu's kernel
[05:02] <h0ned> it is? :S
[05:03] <marcie> hmff says it is already running...is that because i'm installin updates ubuntu provides?
[05:03] <lool> h0ned: I was going through the CONFIG_* of /boot/config-2.6.15-21-686 yesterday, and EAGLE8USB was there
[05:03] <lool> as a module
[05:03] <KenSentMe> marcie: yes
[05:03] <KenSentMe> marcie: wait until they're finished
[05:03] <marcie> so it will at least install the updates?
[05:03] <KenSentMe> marcie: yes
[05:03] <marcie> ok...
[05:04] <xknight_> how come when i su
[05:04] <ygetartson> Hi all, i have a question maybe a little offtopic, but i really dont know where to ask it, if not here.
[05:04] <xknight_> and put in the pass it says authentication failure
[05:04] <marcie> linux does way more than the unix i had to use in university (it was bastardised so we could do as little as possible)
[05:04] <xknight_> ygetartson:  its ok to be gay
[05:04] <xknight_> :)
[05:04] <xknight_> j,k
[05:04] <ygetartson> Can I use a PS2 keyboard with my laptop that has no such port?
[05:04] <xknight_> yea
[05:04] <xknight_> you can
[05:05] <ygetartson> how ?
[05:05] <xknight_> you need a usb converter
[05:05] <lool> is there a public morgue for old versions of *.deb?
[05:05] <h0ned> lool: thanks a bunch- its not really polite to ask (thanks to google...heh) but I've been unable to find a guide that helps with compiling the kernel from source in ubuntu
[05:05] <ygetartson> hm
[05:05] <xknight_> ;)
[05:05] <ygetartson> i want a cherry g80
[05:05] <lool> h0ned: serach one for Debian
[05:05] <xknight_> its a small plug goes on end of keyboard
[05:05] <xknight_> then goes in usb port
[05:05] <lool> h0ned: the package to install is "kernel-package", the man page of make-kpkg should help you
[05:05] <lool> h0ned: in general, you don't need to
[05:05] <ygetartson> i tried once with a ms keyboard, that didnt work
[05:05] <marcie> ps port on one side usb on the other
[05:05] <xknight_> im new to ubuntu
[05:05] <ygetartson> maybe cherry ones are better in this respect
[05:06] <marcie> xknight...so am i
[05:06] <xknight_> can some one tell me why "su" keeps telling me that my pass is wrong
[05:06] <h0ned> lool: yeah...but i gather at some point i'll have to edit the kernel-cofig file, and from there enable the .ko for eagle-usb, yes?
[05:06] <HymnToLife> !tell xknight_ about root
[05:06] <KenSentMe> xknight_: root has no password
[05:06] <lool> xknight_: there's no root password by default, if you want to set one, "sudo passwd"
[05:06] <xknight_> t,y
[05:06] <lool> xknight_: (first password is your current user password, next prompts the new root password)
[05:07] <lool> h0ned: it's enabled by default in Ubuntu
[05:07] <ocult> have channel for paraguay ?
[05:08] <h0ned> lool: thanks. a lot, will see if it works, ta. y'

[05:11] <cafuego> !bcm43xx
[05:11] <ubotu> To use your broadcom or airport extreme card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx for info and firmware.
[05:11] <monomaniacpat> It's no longer able to enable for some reason... it's a WPC11 v4 or rtl8180
[05:11] <marcie> the system didn't configure for you when you set up?
[05:11] <cafuego> lotsa info
[05:12] <monomaniacpat> marcie: no its not in the kernel for breezy
[05:12] <xknight_> cafuego:  ive done that

[05:13] <ubotu> Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP, one of the standard internet server installations. Installing LAMP in Ubuntu is fairly straightforward. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP
[05:14] <freezey> hymntolife: just havinga little trouble can you helkp?

[05:14] <HymnToLife> just ask
[05:14] <KenSentMe> !justask
[05:14] <ubotu> - Ask your question and we'll try to answer it.
[05:14] <monomaniacpat> marcie: I can see my one but I can't enable it.... or at least the network setting says it's enabled, but it's not
[05:14] <adrakoa> hi
[05:14] <Rug> Howdy all
[05:15] <Xana> !cedega
[05:15] <saskia> how do you share the PC's sound/audio between applications? why do i have to close a running app which uses the soundcard to be able to run another app that needs sound as well?
[05:15] <marcie> gtg my software is being installed
[05:15] <liquiem> saskia: use alsa dmix
[05:15] <Pierre> HymnToLife, fyi, mysqladmin is not available as ubuntu packages, and trying to install it is not that easy :)
[05:15] <freezey> I am installing PHP GroupWare and i am using webmin to create my database and when i run the command mysql -u root -p create phpgroupware... i get an error that says error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
[05:15] <freezey> Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!
[05:15] <adrakoa> i have a problem with compaq presario with graphics card ati radeon... after boot all is black... can i start without gdm???
[05:15] <saskia> liquiem: is alsa a daemon?
[05:16] <liquiem> saskia: no, alsa is a kernel module or built into the kernel
[05:16] <saskia> liquiem: is it installed by default in Dapper Drake?
[05:16] <HymnToLife> freezey> I got the same error, that was when I tried to tinker with my MySQL installation, keep the defaults and it should run fine
[05:16] <HymnToLife> also, I like to run sudo mysql_secure_installation to install my stuff
[05:16] <freezey> hymtolife: yeah i didn't touch nething tho.. it is on the defaults
[05:16] <liquiem> saskia: honestly, i dont know, im gentoo, but do a cat /proc/asound/cards
[05:16] <HymnToLife> hmm
[05:17] <liquiem> saskia: there you'll some output if alsa is active
[05:17] <saskia> ok, i will try lsmod as well
[05:17] <HymnToLife> freezey> try sudo mysql_secure_installation
[05:17] <freezey> command not found
[05:18] <HymnToLife> how did you install your server ?
[05:18] <freezey> well nothin is up and running yet maybe thats my problem
[05:18] <freezey> like these are the steps for php groupware
[05:18] <freezey> and i have to create an sql database
[05:18] <HymnToLife> normally it should work straight after the server install
[05:19] <freezey> so i installed webmin through synaptic and then tried to run this command and boom
[05:19] <freezey> error
[05:19] <HymnToLife> maybe a wrong version, try sudo apt-get install mysql-server-4.1 instead of mysql-server
[05:19] <sinubutu> I have a sound problem. on ubuntu 5.10.  I have an onboard chip (ESS audio: es1869) it appears in the HAL device manager as a PnP device ( but all  the listing ion there say unknown to the categories (vendor etc...)) and I cannot get any sounds going, when I try to go in the sound preferenceas there does not seem to be a soundcard available.  I checked the wiki for old soundcard but the only reference I found was for asn old ISA soundc
[05:19] <sinubutu> ard with a similar chip also had a look in the forum but found nothing so far.  any sugestion as to what I am failing to do or where I might have gone wrong?
[05:19] <mikomiko> how do i Install w32codecs and totem-xine
[05:20] <saskia> i think automatix will do
[05:20] <HymnToLife> mikomiko> sudo apt-get install w32codecs totem-xine
[05:20] <tsw> !automatix
[05:20] <ubotu> automatix is, like, unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, such as !easyubuntu.
[05:20] <_jason> ubotu: tell mikomiko about w32codecs
[05:20] <saskia> will automatix available by default in 6.06?
[05:20] <_jason> mikomiko: totem-xine is in the universe repository, for w32codecs please see ubotu's private message
[05:21] <_jason> saskia: please read what the bot just said
[05:21] <HymnToLife> I hope it won't
[05:21] <xst> I haved copied my old .evolution dir to my newly installed machine but evolution still asks me to create a new "first" account when I start it. How can I make evolution discover that its config-dir already exists?
[05:21] <tsw> saskia: please do not recommend automatix, its unsafe and might break stuff
[05:21] <tsw> !easyubuntu
[05:21] <ubotu> easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ or #easyubuntu
[05:21] <saskia> oh, it's a no no
[05:22] <saskia> but why .. many still recommends.. like in digg.com
[05:23] <saskia> maybe for those who needs to play pirated DVD movies, lol - need the codecs :p
[05:23] <HymnToLife> saskia> the Ubuntu team does not, that shoul be enough I guess...
[05:24] <tsw> saskia: its too easy to recommend
[05:24] <saskia> yeah
[05:25] <KenSentMe> saskia: also check here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[05:25] <teleco> hola

[05:26] <saskia> buy a mini mac and install Ubuntu ;)
[05:26] <saskia> Determinist: video google
[05:27] <xst> How do I select which login manager to use? I just installed the kubuntu-desktop but that turned off the option to hibernate the laptop. So I want to switch back to gdm, but how?
[05:27] <Howitzer> Yeeha
[05:27] <Howitzer> just found a good RSS Reader :Straw :p
[05:27] <saskia> it's a good video of Mark Shuttleworth explaining about Ubuntu, search in video.google.com
[05:28] <Howitzer> BLAM didn't show when a feed was read or not which was really annoying and Liferea didn't load any feeds at all :/

[05:29] <harisund> Hello people, do you know how to change the default banner that is displayed when you SSH into a machine? I looked at /etc/issue but that was not it.
[05:29] <mikomiko> how do i test my newly installed CODECS32
[05:29] <macieq> hi all, can i open file *.run ??
[05:29] <Determinist> no audio :/
[05:29] <macieq> i have a ubuntu 2 hours :D
[05:30] <KenSentMe> macieq: most of the time you can use the command line and do ./filename.run
[05:30] <BSCH> I have 10 ubuntu~~, five 64bit and five 32bit~
[05:30] <xerophyte>  when you setup internet connection share why do you need to install dnsmasq ipmasq  these to packages.. does the forward and masq rule on the iptable good enough to do the work just wondering why  do i need them ??
[05:31] <thaweazl> usually chmod +x <file>.sh then run it from a terminal ./filename.sh
[05:31] <Fillado> there's also sh filename.run
[05:31] <idefix> how can you switch your dvd-regio?
[05:31] <saskia> there again .. changing dvd regions
[05:31] <HymnToLife> xerophyte> it worked fine for me with just installing dhcp3-server and firestarter
[05:32] <thaweazl> i'm trying to deploy several Ubuntu app servers (LTSP) and i need them identical - anyone have any luck cloning machines?
[05:32] <xerophyte> HymnToLife,  you don't need those packages am i right
[05:32] <harisund> thaweazl: if you are able to find a solution for that, please do inform me.
[05:32] <saskia> thaweazl: use norton ghost :P
[05:33] <KenSentMe> idefix: maybe you can find something here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[05:33] <HymnToLife> xerophyte> which packages ?
[05:33] <xerophyte> HymnToLife,  dnsmasq ipmasq
[05:33] <gexen> yay, they updated liferea today, it finally works for me
[05:34] <Determinist> dear god, what is that accent? :D
[05:34] <HymnToLife> xerophyte> nope
[05:34] <yggdrasil> is there any way to have a recent documents in gnome ?
[05:34] <thaweazl> every time i use ghost, the machines dont like to boot - they also do a raw copy - free space and all - and ghost also can't deal with alternative filesystems - i like to use xfs on home folders due to the large number of small files & faster journaling on bootup
[05:34] <HymnToLife> just dhcp3-server and firestarter
[05:34] <bit_doidao> how to edit the fstab and let all users access my vfat partition?
[05:34] <avoine> someone try plone?
[05:34] <bit_doidao> this doesnt seems to work: /dev/hdb3       /media/hdb3     vfat    user,rw,noauto        0       0
[05:34] <HymnToLife> !tell bit_doidao about ntfs
[05:34] <gnomefreak> yggdrasil: places>recent documents
[05:34] <HymnToLife> instructions for FT are also in there
[05:34] <_jason> bit_doidao: umask=0000 as an option
[05:35] <saskia> thaweazl: use this http://freshmeat.net/projects/g4l/
[05:35] <saskia> ghost for linux
[05:35] <FlyingSquirrel32> when is breezy scheduled to come out?

[05:35] <bit_doidao> Like this: /dev/hdb3       /media/hdb3     vfat    user,rw,noauto,umask=0000        0       0
[05:35] <bit_doidao> ?

[05:45] <TokenBad> what is command in ubuntu to change a dir from owned by root to owned by me or so everyone can write to it?
[05:45] <HymnToLife> TokenBad> man chown
[05:45] <saskia> bad idea anyway, why would u want to do that
[05:45] <HymnToLife> or chmod if you want everyone to be able to write to it without changing the owner
[05:46] <TokenBad> saskia, I am the only one on the system...and for some reason it made the dir root...but when I am logged in I can't write to it..thats why
[05:47] <saskia> oh, the new user you created didnt have the homedir

[05:49] <ubotu> mumbles: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[05:50] <saskia> yggdrasil: i was thinking about a distro
[05:50] <mumbles> ok how do i change the screen ress in ubuntu ?
[05:50] <HymnToLife> !fixres
[05:50] <ubotu> I guess fixres is Please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[05:50] <yggdrasil> yar the distro... first to be put on a dvd
[05:51] <saskia> cdrom actually
[05:52] <yggdrasil> i mean it was the first distro to use a dvd
[05:52] <yggdrasil> nevermind
[05:53] <saskia> :)
[05:53] <saskia> doh
[05:53] <freezey> hymtolife: u there?
[05:53] <HymnToLife> yep
[05:54] <sinubutu> !sound
[05:54] <ubotu> well, sound is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[05:55] <TokenBad> ok i mounted my cd-rom drive and just tried to unmount with sudo umount /media/cdrom0/ and it tells me its busy even though its not...
[05:55] <saskia> TokenBad: type lsod
[05:56] <saskia> i mean lsof
[05:56] <TokenBad> ok alot of stuff just went by on the screen
[05:56] <HymnToLife> TokenBad> if it tells you it is, then it is, check your running processes
[05:56] <saskia> grep the ones on your cdrom mount point
[05:57] <TokenBad> but the light on the cd-rom is not on
[05:57] <Malagmyr> TokenBad: when you've opened a file in M$ Word, your harddrive light will switch off after loading it. It'll still be in use.
[05:57] <saskia> lsof | grep cdrom0
[05:58] <TokenBad> saskia, did that..it posted like 4 things
[05:58] <saskia> which are ..
[05:58] <TokenBad> so I assume kill -9 pid?
[05:58] <ompaul> TokenBad, no, you do this
[05:58] <Malagmyr> TokenBad: or figure out what they actually are and stop them properly
[05:58] <saskia> yeah, what are those processes anyway
[05:58] <ompaul> TokenBad, you identify the program that has them open and close it correctly, if you have a terminal involved you cd / to get away from the cd
[05:59] <TokenBad> I had put the cd in..to just copy the files from the cd to my hard drive..and they have been copied
[05:59] <TokenBad> nothing else
[05:59] <saskia> cd to somewhere else, / is the safest
[05:59] <HymnToLife> have you closed the Nautilus windows onvolving the CD ?
[05:59] <freezey> hymtolife: dude the postfix config came up
[05:59] <HymnToLife> or browsed away from it
[05:59] <Malagmyr> TokenBad: then you've probably got a terminal or some sort of file manager using the cd directory
[05:59] <jontydog> can someone tell me how I mount my hard drives in linux please?
[05:59] <ompaul> TokenBad, in order to copy your nautilus opened a path to the CD you need to close that
[05:59] <freezey> hymtolife: i dont want this to do mail and it says if i wnat to lave the config alone choose this option
[05:59] <freezey> no config
[06:00] <HymnToLife> freezey> yeah, and when you're done ?
[06:00] <TokenBad> ok it wasn't the nautilus..it was a terminal window that was cd to that dir..thanks
[06:00] <odat> help with evolution?   out of no where my send/recieve button is greyed out i have uninstalled and reinstalled , deleted preferences and setting, but each time its the same thing

[06:02] <freezey> i am gonna use it to work with PHP groupware... which is an online file manager similar to an FTP just easier for slower people
[06:02] <HymnToLife> ok, just with PHP

[06:16] <Final^_^> excuse was wondering how much space does ubuntu take up on your harddrive ?
[06:17] <Xeppo> Ok, does anyone in here assist in the development of Ubuntu and would be willing to do a short interview with me for a school paper I'm writing?
[06:17] <blaze> mzuverink,  i wanna copy cd to harddrive
[06:17] <GazzaK> blaze, I used K3b today and it worked great
[06:17] <mzuverink> blaze: I would try gnomebaker if you are in gnome and or K3b if in kde
[06:17] <GazzaK> K3b will work in gnome mzuverink
[06:17] <mzuverink> blaze:both work well, k3b is alot like nero
[06:17] <_jason> Xeppo: I don't but you may have better luck with the mailing lists
[06:18] <HymnToLife> I would suggest K3b even if you're in GNOME, it's a million times better thn GB
[06:18] <Xeppo> well, all I need is a credible source
[06:18] <blaze> does it copy cd to harddrive?\
[06:18] <IronMan> what about nerolinux d?
[06:18] <Xeppo> if you so much as use open source software in a business setting, you'd be a great help
[06:18] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Xeppo: Try #ubuntu-dev
[06:18] <Final^_^> how much space does ubuntu take up on your harddrive ?

[06:19] <freezey> its not open
[06:19] <mzuverink> blaze:k3b is very nice, it depends on what you are looking for.
[06:19] <gnomefreak> freezey: something is weather you are updateing or installing something
[06:19] <mzuverink> blaze:k3b is prettier

[01:52] <tsimonq2> I'll send out a call for testing in an hour or two
[01:52] <tsimonq2> If anyone is awake I'd appreciate a second set of eyes :)
 *throws a pair of eyes at simon he 'found'*
 there's your second set of eyes simon :)
[02:01] <teward> tsimonq2: ^
 @tsimonq2 what exactly did you need in terms of a second set of eyes on something
 'cause i'm bored :)
 @teward001 [@tsimonq2 what exactly did you need in terms of a second set of eyes on somethin …], See PM
[05:20] -lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [Lubuntu CI] jobgenerator just failed after succeeding: https://ci.lubuntu.me/job/jobgenerator/785/
 @kc2bez @tsimonq2 Can we sync calamares?
 I have no issue with that if @tsimonq2 has no issue with it.
 any (l)ubuntu centric patches we have to drop if we sync?
 'cause the sync tool is gonna ask :P
 that was my implicit question
 @kc2bez because if the patches currently in the .deb in Ubuntu's repos need to stay then we have to merge not sync
 this is why I was 1st asking the people who have done the majority of ubuntu maintenance :P
 Yeah, we should merge then. We have 2 patches and need them both.
 One is for our apport hook and that is pretty important.
 ok. merge needs doing then, as this is blocking new kpmcore which has a CVE
 https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-announce/2020-October/000124.html
 Thanks for the info @RikMills
 the other way to do this is sync and then readd the patches - the merge kind of does both things together
 syncs are easy, merges are harder :P
 Moving the patches to cala-settings?
 Fwd from mitya57: I'm going to publish the current contents of https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/4316/+packages in a few hours and let the rest of Qt be autosynced (the Debian transition will also start today).
 Fwd from mitya57: Then I will do the rdepends rebuilds in a day or two, when Qt is built.
 from #ubuntu-qt, FYI
 yeah prob wait for Qt to sync over first before poking Cala
 in case things asplode


[03:23] <Prajesh> what are the best practises for tuning ubuntu for apache php based frameworks like drupal
[03:30] <mardraum> Prajesh: use nginx, php-fpm and apc. there isn't anything specific to ubuntu.
[03:41] <Prajesh> thanks mardraum

[09:24] <eramazanov> Hi, anyone can help me a little bit? I'm trying to install MAAS and I'm quite confused at what "commission" means and how to install MAAS properly?
[09:27] <rbasak> eramazanov: commissioning is the step where you give control of the machine to MAAS. Once commissioned, MAAS is ready to use it.
[09:29] <eramazanov> rbasak: tnx. I booted my second PC via PXE by LAN but some error message came ((. I tried to add node via web interface but after adding it what should I do now?
[09:29] <rbasak> Well what was the error message>
[09:29] <rbasak> ?
[09:29] <eramazanov> cannot get datasource or something like that
[09:30] <eramazanov> I am now booting it again
[09:30] <eramazanov> can you wait a minute plz
[09:30] <eramazanov> ?
[09:31] <eramazanov> it says : "Can not apply stage final, no datasource found! Likely bad things to come!"
[09:34] <rbasak> Is the machine connected to the same switch as the MAAS server, and on the same IP subnet?
[09:35] <eramazanov> yep. My MAAS server works as DHCP server
[09:35] <eramazanov> they are in their own LAN network
[09:35] <rbasak> I'm not sure then, sorry. I know what the error means - that cloud-init can't contact MAAS' metadata service - but I don't know what the cause might be. Try asking in #maas.
[09:36] <eramazanov> there is such channel? wow. Thank you
[10:04] <bobek_balinek> What is the advantage of using 'console owner' over 'console log' for an upstart script?
[12:17] <caribou> rbasak: remember my query yesterday about the proxy setup ?
[12:18] <rbasak> caribou: yes
[12:18] <caribou> rbasak: do you know off the top of your head where that proxy definition in Maas configuration gets stored/used ?
[12:18] <caribou> rbasak: I was wrong : the preseed proxy setup points to the squid port on the maas server
[12:18] <rbasak> caribou: oh, OK
[12:19] <rbasak> caribou: mass-import-pxe-files and maas-import-ephemerals make use of an http_proxy environment variable
[12:19] <caribou> rbasak: I'm trying to make sense of that configuration option; i.e. how it is implemented & how is it used
[12:19] <rbasak> caribou: I'm not sure what the packaging does - most of my work has been running those directly out of the build tree.
[12:19] <rbasak> caribou: perhaps look at the config files that maas-import-pxe-files sources? Eg. /etc/maas/somehwere
[12:20] <caribou> rbasak: good idea, ok will do
[12:20] <caribou> rbasak: thanks
[12:20] <rbasak> caribou: no problem. Might be worth asking some of the guys in #maas - they might know better.
[12:34] <zul> Daviey:  can you +1 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/34539/ (i would do it myself but its my MP)
[12:42] <N0tTh30n3> I have a strange issue with on of my servers
[12:43] <N0tTh30n3> My /dev disapeared
[12:51] <ikonia> it's only tmpfs
[12:51] <ikonia> just reboot
[13:05] <N0tTh30n3> ikonia: it's a production webserver
[13:05] <N0tTh30n3> ikonia: I'd rather not reboot now
[13:05] <N0tTh30n3> Is there a way to "remount" it the right way
[13:05] <N0tTh30n3> ?
[13:08] <patdk-wk_> sure, but there is much more going on than just *remounting* it
[13:09] <hallyn> Daviey: perhaps we should drop the qemu-launcher package?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1195482
[13:09] <N0tTh30n3> ok
[13:10] <N0tTh30n3> patdk-wk_: /dev on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
[13:10] <ikonia> N0tTh30n3: it doesn't just disaapear
[13:11] <ikonia> N0tTh30n3: something must have happened
[13:11] <patdk-wk_> that only makes a *empty* filesystem
[13:11] <patdk-wk_> nothing in /dev will exist
[13:11] <N0tTh30n3> I think I know what happened
[13:11] <ikonia> udev will need to populate it
[13:11] <ikonia> N0tTh30n3: explain
[13:11] <Daviey> hallyn: is it busted in Debian aswell then?
[13:11] <Daviey> hallyn: last touched in debian 2007?
[13:11] <N0tTh30n3> I added 2 nfs mounts
[13:11] <N0tTh30n3> then I did a mount -a
[13:12] <N0tTh30n3> it mounted those nfs export just fine
[13:12] <ikonia> that shouldn't change /dev
[13:12] <N0tTh30n3> in my /etc/fstab there is an entry "dev 		/dev 		tmpfs 	rw 		0 	0"
[13:12] <ikonia> yes, but it's already mountd
[13:12] <ikonia> mounted
[13:13] <ikonia> so it won't re-mount it
[13:13] <N0tTh30n3> Ok, thats wierd then
[13:13] <Daviey> hallyn: I think i'd support a removal request.. but would also suggest this happens in Debian first.   It might kick someone into maintaining it there.
[13:13] <N0tTh30n3> I did a remount of /dev after it appeared empty
[13:13] <N0tTh30n3> that didn't help!
[13:14] <N0tTh30n3> obviously
[13:14] <hallyn> dunno the process for that offhand.  wnpp?
[13:14] <N0tTh30n3> Is the only way to get it back a reboot?
[13:14] <ikonia> restart udev
[13:15] <Daviey> hallyn: Maybe ask jamespage to pursue it, he's our newest DD :)
[13:18] <N0tTh30n3> ikonia: "udevadm trigger" brought back a lot of devices
[13:18] <N0tTh30n3> :-)
[13:23] <hallyn> near as i could tell from the shouting yesterday, jamespage is missing :)
[13:31] <N0tTh30n3> solved
[13:31] <N0tTh30n3> ikonia: THANKS
[13:34] <jamespage> Daviey, hallyn: around now
[14:46] <soahccc> Sorry if this is too off topic. Does anyone have a hint for me what I am doing wrong here? (Hetzner installimage with LVM) https://gist.github.com/2called-chaos/3976370be682cea751f8
[16:36] <soahccc> How do I add an additional IP adress to my interface? I only find examples for ubuntu in which they're using those aliases but the docs of my hoster reads "Configuration with alias interfaces (such as eth0:1, eth0:2 etc.) are outdated and should no longer be used."
[17:05] <sarnold> soahccc: that's a good question, if you find out, please report back.
[17:05] <soahccc> sarnold: well I just used the aliases for now :D
[17:06] <sarnold> soahccc: it's easy to just use ip addr add <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth0  ... all day long and give an interface thousands of IPs..
[17:06] <sarnold> soahccc: but I don't know how to configure that with /etc/network/interfaces :(
[17:39] <zerick> sarnold, configure what?
[17:40] <sarnold> zerick: multiple IPs on an interface without using hacky network interfaces
[17:41] <zerick> sarnold, just create another "iface eth0:0 inet static" ... and so
[17:41] <zerick> with the IP you want
[17:41] <sarnold> zerick: ah, that's the network interface aliases that would be nice to avoid
[17:42] <sarnold> granted, they probably aren't going anywhere despite being deprecated for a decade or more by now
[17:42] <zerick> sarnold, they are going to listen to the same NIC
[17:44] <sarnold> zerick: sure, but I'd rather just give the interfaces multiple addresses, as Alexey Kuznetsov intended :)
