what's the difference between a generic and server kernel ?

Halitech, it is enabled.

Seven-7: can you ping that address ?

MindVirus, try a reboot, might need that to get pulse working

amigrave: various config options

erUSUL: i should blacklist ath9K driver?

need help with file access permissions

@robertr994: Do you know where the config files are stored? It's probably permissions-problem

Halitech, it's been on.

Forever.

buenas

Chris8: yep; if you do not want it to be used

ikonia: Ok, there's a grey area here. Can I ping (what) address from (Where)?

MindVirus, try turning it off and reboot and see if you have sound then

I dont know anything, just switched from windows

"Ex-Chat"

!es | shawe

shawe: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

You want me to turn it off, then reboot?

Seven-7: can you ping the 254 address from the tower

erUSUL: do i need to make a new file in modprobe dir or add lines to an existing file?

I have problems installing the ubuntu. I tried to install it withouth windows, then I reinstalled windows and tried to make it compatibile. - I wanted to have both wins and ubuntu. I always face the same error: Invalid Argument. - Here is the link to the error log: http://www.speedyshare.com/457277948.html

ikonia: Yes, and I get responses.

MindVirus, yes, turn off pulse audio and reboot the computer

erUSUL or can i do it in terminal?

Seven-7: ok - so that means it's not acting as a router

Chris8: the factoid is pretty clear

Seven-7: so the problem is your laptop not acting as a router

ikonia: Oh. I know what .254 is, it's the switch.

Seven-7: assuming .254 is the router

erUSUL: wha's a factoid?

Seven-7: ahhh so thats why what won't let you go anywhere

hahahaah

Chris8: edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list

Halitech, can I just turn PA off?

erUSUL SMOOCH

Chris8: the one i directed to you via ubottu

ikonia: You know what? Gimmia a sec, make this easier.

@robertr994: I don't know apache, so we're a bit blind both of us. One moment while I check Synaptic.

Something with my bluetooth has broken, and now bluetooth wont work at all. I don't even know where to begin troubleshooting... Can anyone help?

MindVirus, you can try it

I cant change my name and password of the instalation ?!

Seven-7: no problem

its not a apache problem its root is the owner, how do I change permissions

robertr994, what file are you trying to edit?

geebs totally missed that :S

thanksQ

Chris8: no problem

robertr994, not a good idea to just randomly change permissions on files

erUSUL , ikonia , guntbert: know I know what was the problem and why it works now

sites-available

Halitech, I'll reboot. BRB.

hy

i have problem whit totem player

erUSUL , ikonia , guntbert : and I want to share this with you

"Leaving"

robertr994, sites available is a folder

i can't put the files in the list

all

erUSUL: i have no write permission, but i should, i'm only only user...

erUSUL , ikonia , guntbert : The problem that ubuntu switched to some version of sh which doesn't provide let

ok, lets try this, just how do I get a website without the IT WORKS page if I dont have permission

hello! After chrooting to a busybox initrd, passwd says "unknown id 0" even though /etc/passwd exists... any ideas?

only one by one

Chris8: use sudo

and some doesn't work

erUSUL , ikonia , guntbert : This explains why It worked under centos and it didn't work under ubuntu

mohammed510: I TOLD YOU THAT

robertr994, you edit the /var/www/index.html file

@robertr994: use "sudo" or "gksu" (without quotations) to open an editor such as gedit, nano, emacs or vim

mohammed510: we said that to you *many* times

mohammed510: ubuntu uses DASH as a symlink to SH

dont have permission to edit

coleys: you still about? i'm told to turn on the socks i need to assign a port like ssh -D 127.0.0.1:8080 laeg@my.internet.ip

its owned by root

I cant change it

erUSUL , ikonia , guntbert : Sorry every body but it the word dash was confusing me

robertr994, on your keyboard, press CTRL + F2 and type in gksudo gedit /var/www/index.html

@robertr994: Example: sudo gedit /etc/hosts

erUSUL , ikonia , guntbert : The problem of the first line

hi

robertr994, sorry, ALT + F2

erUSUL , ikonia , guntbert : My first line was #!/bin/bash not #!/bin/ash

@robertr994: That opens your hosts-file as a "super-user"/"root" and you should be able to edit

OttifantSir, sudo for a graphical app is a bad idea, should use gksudo

ersUSUL: i am :S it says unknown mime-type and then no write permission

I am pretty sure there is some corruption on the drive since Ubuntu would no longer boot and complained of corrupted filesystems (Windows will also no longer boot).

When trying to run Gparted (or the installer), it hangs while detecting filesystems... no errors, just sits there indefinitely.

laeg: Does ssh username@internetip:port ... not work?

erUSUL , ikonia , guntbert : but when I used sh to run the script the first line is considered as a comment

OttifantSir, and why would he want to open the hosts file?

erUSUL , ikonia , guntbert : So the first line was confusing me too

Hello, i am having somewhat of a minor problem with firefox on Ubunto linux. Whenever i load certain webpages, such as myspace, it is VERY laggy when you try and scroll. (the login page to myspace is fine though) anyone know why? and how i can fix this? My video card is a GeForce 8500GT 256MB (PCI)

Reformer81: I'd be worried you have had a hard drive failure....

mohammed510: we told you this also

Something with my bluetooth has broken, and now bluetooth wont work at all. I don't even know where to begin troubleshooting... Can anyone help?

@Chris8: It just seems like he's running from terminal. Of course he should use gksu for graphical apps. And the hosts-file was an EXAMPLE! not the file he would edit

gksudo gedit /var/www/index.html worked to edit the index page, I have 40,000 files to add there

Chris8: !!!?? do « sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist » writte the line press Crtl + X

losher: That's what I'm afraid of. This is my brother's system and I'd really like to confirm it and retrieve any data if possible.

ikonia : I swear I couldn't understand this

ikonia : I swear I couldn't understand this

Can anyone here help me?

!ask | josh_93

josh_93: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)

josh_93: Tried toggling smooth scrolling in FF?

i did lol, noone answered, i said "i am having somewhat of a minor problem with firefox on Ubunto linux. Whenever i load certain webpages, such as myspace, it is VERY laggy when you try and scroll. (the login page to myspace is fine though) anyone know why? and how i can fix this? My video card is a GeForce 8500GT 256MB (PCI)"

so how would I get permission to transfer the files to /var/www/

josh_93: sorry; i read your question now... myspace does use flash heavily and flash in linux is lacking. blame adobe

robertr994, sudo cp /path/to/file/ /var/www/

hello, with 'rsync' is there anyway to get a more detailed output besides just the files that are been syncd. I am getting a freeze on different files each time I try - and was wondering if there is a way to see the progress of that particular file to see perhaps if there is a network issue or whats happening. thanks

Reformer81: since you cannot boot, in your place, I would download the manufacturer's diagnostic disk for the hard drive. Or move the drive to a different, working machine & try it from there

coleys: i can connect to it alright through ssh, but he says for the tunneling i need to assign the port with -D

coleys: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7583898#post7583898

ikonia: http://docs.google.com/Presentation?id=dhpg742z_17hc6r9qcz

ikonia: There.

robertr994, or *VERY CAREFULLY* use gksudo nautilus to give you sudo rights to copy files in

It's crude, but it works.

Seven-7: looking

losher: There are no diagnostics tools within Linux that I could run from the live cd?

kkj: there is a --progress flag to rsync which might help

Ah.. i see. yeah, i remember adobe didnt offer much support with linux. Is there anyway i could fix this though..? like use myspace without it needing to use flash so much? i have tried disabling "themes" on myspace, and it did nothing. any ideas?

laeg: Sorry man, not sure about tunneling +(

Seven-7: ok - so from that diagram your laptop neets to be the default gateway and act as a router with ipforwarding

josh_93: You could try the free version, gnash

@Halitech, robertr994: Use that WITH EXTREME CAUTION! Specially if you're new to Linux.

loesh: thats much better, thank you!

erUSUL: i don't have a file called my_blacklist

ikonia: I'm pretty sure I followed every step in the wiki. I'll try again.

What is the name of the module that Ubuntu 9.04 uses for PCI bluetooth cards?

Seven-7: 192.168.1.254 is the ip of the laptops eth0 ??

Reformer81: there are, but they are very general. The best diagnostics come from the manufacturer's own application. Do you know the make & model of your disk?

Seven-7: hang on

erUSUL: i tried adding the blacklist in the GNU but i couldn't save 'cuz file didn't exist

well actually if I can edit the file inside apache2/sites-available I can just point it to my home

OttifantSir, thats why I capped very carefully :)

Chris8: that's the point you have to create it

ersul

new?? I started linux 2 hrs ago lol

erUSUL: ok i'll gnu 'gain sorry

Seven-7: you've got the switch set as the gateway, that can't route - so there is problem 1. problem 2 is that your laptop needs to be setup as a router, you said you've done this, and this may work, but you won't know until you tell the tower that the laptop's ip is the default gateway

@Halitech: That one doesn't mind a repeat IMHO.

USUALLY *.*.*.254 is the modem/lan broadcast point for dhcp

Chris8: no problem ;)

erUSUL what function do i use to make file?

majnoon: agreed it's an unusual IP for a switch, and a managed switch with an ip at home is just as odd

ikonia: Ok, so based on the netstat/stuff I sent you, which IP should I use?

OttifantSir, I agree, otherwise they are back in a few hours with a totally busted system blaming it on ubuntu instead of their own stupidity

erUSUL should i add blacklist there too? or just make file?

Seven-7: the laptops

Chris8: already told you --> Chris8: !!!?? do « sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist » writte the line press Crtl + X

Seven-7: but as majnoon pointed out, having a .254 address on the switch is unusual as thats normally a network gateway address

usually *.255 and *.255 are reserved for modems/routers

*254

Chris8: the line is «blacklist modulename» (where modulename is ath9k in this case)

I installed gnash, but it dosent appear like it has helped any =/

usually 254 is broadcast for dhcp and 255 is usually gateway

ACTION confused do switches have ip adresses ???

majnoon: other way around

@robertr994: In terminal: cd to the dir, ls and find the file you want to edit, "man nano" (without quotations), "sudo nano "

erUSUL: mangaged switches do, but thats odd to see one at home

erUSUL: when i try to save buffer after adding the blacklist it returns error writing etc/modprobe/... No such file or directory

something like that :)

josh_93, try using flash block addon in firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433

i know BOTH are reserved

ikonia: Ok, I'm on the laptop and looking at the Network Tools. How do I find the Laptop's IP?

majnoon: they are not reserved

thats ctm, thats what i meant to ask for was an addon like that, ill check it out

majnoon: it is just "the norm" to have a gateway as the last address or the first address in the range

Chris8: yu missed the first / ? is /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist

Seven-7: do an ifconfig eth0

Seven-7, in term type ifconfig

Seven-7: or "sudo ifconfig eth0"

erUSUL i just left it out

awesome! that ct, myspace runs as smooth as ever now :)

ikonia, if just want info no need sudo usually

thanks*

***erUSUL: Some switches have an IP address for management, other simpler switches do not.

majnoon: depends if his machine has setuid on ifconfig

"Leaving"

ok just tried the edit command, let me reboot and see if apache finds my site

only usually if want to change stuff

erUSUL: the full return is "Error writing at etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist: No such file or directory

ikonia: http://pastie.org/539332

tyvm for your help, I'm sure I'll be back

Seven-7: no ip

Seven-7: I think we are in a bit of a mess here

Chris8: you misstyped it is /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist

Seven-7: can we walk this through a step at a time

Chris8: with the / in front

josh_93, your welcome

hello. im looking to boot my computer from a USB-stick. i've prepared a stick containing 9.04 alternate install, but how do i make the computer boot from the stick? dont seem to find anything in the bios

ooooooooooooh

ikonia: Sure.

erusul SMOOCJ

Seven-7: ok - lets deal with the switch first

H

Seven-7: are you %100 sure that has an IP ?
