defrysk, stop getting all judgemental

alienseer23 ctrl+alt+backspace brings you back to the X login

i've also tried changing the driver option in xorg.conf from "nvidia" to "nv" but xserver does not start :/

S0me1, no difference then? the ubuntu installer can handle it if i have a free partition?

anyone can help? if i try to install ubuntu, a login screen appears. i dunno what to type in there Óò

And I'm trying to get my dual monitors to work with my X1800XL All in Wonder
Any ideas?
Thanks.

primski someone asked me that
hes prolly already installed
MrBerti

so any idea's why i can't get my monitor higher than 800x600?

to a void MBR issue between Vista & Ubuntu

overcast, then he must have supplied username/passowrd, during installation

#ubuntu+1

S0me1 so there is a problem then? i need to learn about how it works? or does ubuntu take care of it?

must have
but he doesnt realize that

:s
problem then, maybe boot to rescue mode and try changing pass? dunno just a thought

could someone give me the proper format for the make command

1- back up your data 2- when you install Ubuntu make sure you know partition size 3- just make swap and / ,when you try install Ubuntu

Anyone?

S0me1 so how does your computer boot into ubuntu then?

Ubuntu smart it can know vista

Hexxeh, there is a good guide on ubuntuforums.org search for it

ack, you want pureftpd not pro

proftpd was suggested to me
lol

hi, can i have some help with vmware-server please?

teknobo1 WEBMIN! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=431647

pro has a huge memory footprint, its good but pure is way better

Hi, I need some help with wvdial.. after it dials, its asking for a login and password even though that information is saved in /etc/wvdial.conf .. And nothing happens after I type the password

and yes cman325 is correct, webmin is another good resource

this is a dedicated server-only box so memory footprint isnt a big deal to me

teknobol, i suggest vsftpd, much better than proftpd

especially for development, but make sure you are behind a router and only have the ports you need forwarded to your server

even easier to set up

also make sure that your mysql server hosting has a root password setup and restricted
vsftpd is good, its what I use with DirectAdmin for professional hosting
works with with DA

hi guys, i have a networking question

i use it too, had constant problems with proftpd

okay

I used cpanel/whm for years

Does anybody know some cool applets for the GNOME panel?

Maybe we should write one of those "the perfect lamp server guides" overcast

hated how there were security exploits for it ever couple days

i debated using cpanle
but its expensive lol

so I finally switched to using DirectAdmin

Hi, I need some help with wvdial.. after it dials, its asking for a login and password even though that information is saved in /etc/wvdial.conf .. And nothing happens after I type the password

DirectAdmin is 10x better for 10x cheaper... you can get a full year license from DA for 85 bucks

i ran on 'ISPConfig' the other day, equivalent to Cpanel, free ofc didnt try it tho yet

oh kewl

and your suggesting someone use webmin but you complain about security problems with cpanel?

webmin is free, hes using it for dev
not production

I have a strange soundproblem and hope someone can help me.. I have three buttons on the side of my laptop; rase volume, lower volume and silence. If I lower the volume as much as I can the volume is still not silent..I have to press "silence button" to make it quiet..this is a veryy recent problem..it worked nice before..how can I fix it?

I would NEVER recommend webmin for a production server

avi (divx) converter

well production is going to be a goal in the very near future

I use DirectAdmin

I am trying to debug a connectivity problem. as a side issue, I can do: 'ping 192.168.1.88' just fine, that's a machine on my lan. but if I try to ping '192.168.1.99' (which is not an active host), I get 'destination host unreachable'... why am I getting 'destination host unreachable' instead of just no reply?

you may have to use a redhat distro for that, but its fairly good. easy to use and setup and recompiling apache and php is a brease on it

in the terminal, ubuntu asks me to insert my CD. I do and hit enter. it doesnt do anything. I can sit there for ever hitting enter and it keeps saying to insert the ubuntu cd. whats wrong with it?

try this sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # symbol in front of the cdrom lines. This stops apt from accessing the cdrom for packages.

Hi, I need some help with wvdial.. after it dials, its asking for a login and password even though that information is saved in /etc/wvdial.conf .. And nothing happens after I type the password

why would you want to do a thing like that?

defrag ? how about you tar it up and put it back ?

lol

yeah I'd say backup your files and just reformat it with fat32

how do you defrag a vfat part in linux
lol
you dont
yeah

ffm tar -cjf tempfile -C /path/to/SDcard, then rm -rf /sdcard, then untar it back

thats the only wya to do it

hey! overcast as a friend not as a zealot

..?

reformat is not necessary, since it doesn't retain any chain structures after you delete everything

Hi, I need some help with wvdial.. after it dials, its asking for a login and password even though that information is saved in /etc/wvdial.conf .. And nothing happens after I type the password

but you can if you're inclined

perfect. thanks man.

Okay, I've got both screens working now

it fixed it beautifully

you make me want to learn more bash

Except the primary screen won't go to the right resolution, any ideas?

see how good he is

And also, I can't move windows between the two.

bash is easy

why would you rm -rf /sdcard that would delete the mount point do rm -rf /path/to/sdcard/*

lol

hi sean__

in ubuntu 7.04 feisty what's the root passw.?

!sudo | OConnor

sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

does anyone know how i can enable the 'scroll wheel click' then scroll around with the 4 arrows thing, honestly i cant think of how to describe it but it works in thunderbird message view pane but not in firefox, i thought it was just a fedora linux thing until i accidentally did it in t-bird

there is no root password

how can i see how much RAM is on my computer?

I couldnt find it... its in the server section of the ubuntu forums though. Lots of people talking about that subject

try free it estimates but it's close enough

ok! Thanks... I'll see

system-administration-system monitor

does make take a long time?

thanks kitche & zero-9376

this is taking forever

you can enable it, but its not a good idea

depending on the language being compiled and the size of the app

!noroot

Please do not advise against user security policy and create a root password, please see !rootsudo

I know
I did say its not a good idea

the more things you compile voer time the easier you'll be able to estimate how long.

how can i restore some deleted .conf files asociated with an app? (awstats)

you cant

does anyone know what i should search for to get some answers on my question above

Overcast : ty, it workd fine, sudo :P

i did aptitude remove awstats, atpitude install awstats, and even dpkg-reconfigure awstats

Alex just got here were goin to get some grub and coffee. 15 mins sign on the door.

just pointing it out to OConnor why it's not recommanded

i really just cant think of what it is called

I just want the defaults from the original package

on the subject of sudo and root, how can i change the sudo timeout?

forwarded my phones to my cell

is ubuntu libre and gratis?

umm no clue I only use sudo on my centos VPS

thanks for the help!

ok, msg me when u get back

can irssi or bitchx have tabs for different channels? Or are they both 100% console and all done in one window

they're console

yondie god darn

try x-chat if you want something graphical

thought so, base and utils?

Can someone help me generate a .deb file from an automake source package

it's still not making the config files

irssi uses a window system

in bitchx type /window new double on hide

VoX - i tried it and the chat display is horrible :| I dont like the way it separates the nickname

then try irssi

Chatzilla, irssi, bitchx, ircII

then you can hit alt+2 to go to the new window. repeat process to open new windows just replace alt+2 with alt+3 etc

there are tons and tons of options

dont forget the good ol standby
mirc

get out
now

err yondie you wont believe this, my SYNAPTIC has just disappeared off my system

'cuz that's *really* what we need to be doing

vanised into thin air

so irssi has clickable windows to change between channels?

not clickable
it's cinsole
it doesn't support mouse

irssi is a console irc client.

you press alt+# to change between them

your CLI will never disappear

if you're using CLI there isn't anything much that will be clickable

lol ... suck it lol :P lol.... mirc is from like.. the 90's when it was one of the most popular irc apps

we're pobably all familiar with mIRC.

yondie, well when i issue, apt-get --purge remove alsa*
i get NOTHING

lol

this laptop is from the twilight zone

your from the twilight zone

webmin doesnt allow me to setup new users or anything right?

u just dont know it yet

i mean u download alsa from the alsa website

mirc is still pretty customizable in all respects

not from the repo

I'm sorry, you're forgiving me for what, saying that mIRC is well known?
don't mix up Overcast and me.

aparently they have something against mirc

but if i do it this way ill have to install a new unix user for each user i want access to the ftp server, etc right

i think it ws a tab-complet error
there are two people here, "Overcast" and "Oerand"

i know Overand i corrected it , sorry

I said 'i think we're all familiar with mIRC"

hmm

relax Overand simple mistake

it's hardly me giving a closed-osource win32 app glowing praise

yes, you will need a new secure unix web hosting user for every ftp user

i will never relax! vengence will be mine!!! (;

okay

__mikem, change it to ./configure && make && checkinstall

lol i dont disagree

no anonymous access isnt possible

have you used telent?

I'm guessing that the simplest solution to my problem is to just reinstall Ubuntu, I was just wondering if there's a way to disable the xorg.conf from the command line.
I'm sure there is, I just don't know how.

DCC SEND LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

have I used telnet. yes, back in the day. now I use ssh :P

i still use telnet . if i get bored and play with my router

rm -rf /usr
dont actually type that tho

do not do that

need reboot

i meant telnet to an irc server

humm installed gtk-RecordMyDesktop but i still dont get a GUI? what am i doing wrong?

can I stay in bitchx and execute that command?

watch it with the trolling

incandenzian, Please never suggest something like that ever again

naa,

no don't run that command

what do i have to do next Overand?

grrrrr

suggest what?

I'm not sure - sorry =/

haha

umm that wasOvercast not incandenzian

kitche, incandenzian whoops sorr

telnet is nc -t
haha

and while you're at it, careful not to mix up me and Overcast

I've got Feisty on CD. I just didn't want to have to start over from scratch if I didn't have to.

netcat 3

Overand,

i love netcat

I told the the person not to use the command :P

does anyone know what to do next

do this sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo X --configure and you should have X running again

I've got a Windows box I can use to find out what to do, I just didn't know where to start.

Overcast, still, please don't ever suggest it in the first place.

it helps me lot during my days of some lame smashing stack

opps change the second xorg.conf to xorg.bak

OK, how do I do that from here?
I have to exit bitchx right?

you just told him to copy his file to his file and then run configure

I fixed it

I thought so

what's wrong with telnet?

gordonjcp, I haven't a clue?

there's no way to run that from within bitchx right?

he's talking baout hte rm /usr command

telnet i 'fine' it's just 'insecure'

I'm sorry guys, I'm a total newbie when it comes to this stuff.

you don't want to be passing any information over telnet that you don't want people to read

ah, sorry, thought you were talking about something else

Overand, well i doubt everyone use telnet these days

you can use virtual terminals - ALT-F1 etc

for extra fun and games, try resizing /usr on a running system

incandenzian, ctrl+alt+Fx (F1, F2, ect)

hence why I use ssh :P

you're probably in the alt-F1 terminal right now

after all SSH is so powerful that it can also act as an S-Ftp

awesome, thanks Overand

!uuid | Senesence

To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)

gordonjcp, the stuff that i like bout netcat is the piping

learn to read. there are no wildcards

I got beryl up and working. Got the whole 3D Cube working & things, so I would guess so
