[00:09] was that before updates or after [00:09] I'm having some ridiculous problems with networking. Anyone interested? [00:09] TVVCR6: Speakers that you can plug via USb and not via the audio jack. [00:09] toastedmilk: Sure [00:09] No [00:10] ikonia, n8tuser was asking your advice on a problem I had with drives earlier. We have managed to get a bit further but I am still struggling to get my ubuntu to boot. I now know which drive is which and the order they should boot in but each time I reboot the drives swap round according to fdisk, meaning whatever changes I make to my menu.lst are in vain as the HDD's have switched. Any ideas at all? [00:10] I have Logitech X540 speakers [00:10] But one thing comes to mind [00:10] wayneward, afterwards. ... where does gnome store the data to copy on the DVD? there has to be a link-dir somewhere ... [00:10] minimec: The 1010LT has multiple outputs [00:10] edd, why not [00:10] Spaff: your menu.lst should be using uuid's not /dev/sda style entries [00:10] hi there, i was wondering whether it is possible to run virtualbox with host networking (I want to put apache etc into the vm) and still have my network managed with networkmanager? [00:10] i'm new to ubuntu. does anyone have suggestions for dvd video backup/dup software? something fast and painless. also, ripping/conversion to standard (non-dvd) would be great. [00:10] minimec: the speakers are plugged into line 3/4 [00:10] Spaff: that way the uuid makes the disk device not important [00:10] Gr33n3gg, Okay. My internet works randomly. Sometimes when I run Gnome it'll work, but when it's not it still says it's connected. I haven't tested KDE or Xscript, but I imagine they have the same problem. [00:10] !source [00:10] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [00:10] Spaff: isnt that solved by using the uuid instead of the /dev/sdx? [00:10] But by default the card outputs to line 1/2 [00:10] wolki, Yes. [00:10] it will just hold that in /tmp [00:10] !VirtualBox > wolki [00:10] anyone know the easiest way to make my terminal open maximezed?

[00:11] toastedmilk: Shouldn't matter what DE you run, its probably a problem with your network. [00:11] Spaff: yup [00:11] hey guy as far as fstab...how do i make it so I dont have to be root to edit the files in the drives I mount in media....like right now when i try to cut and paste something from one drive to another i have to sudo nautilus it [00:11] TVVCR6: I would try to install pavucontrol via Synaptic. Pavucontrol gives you some configuration and info about Pulseaudio. [00:11] Spaff: do you know how to use uuid's in grub ? [00:11] wolki, Just set that up today myself. :) [00:11] Right, so in the partitioning, I don't know how much space I can change on one drive, and I want to use parts of other disks. That's my problem with the install. [00:11] storrgie1: ask ikonia [00:11] Gr33n3gg, Other devices on the network work fine [00:11] I'll try [00:11] storrgie1: make it quick, I'm walking up stairs to bed.... ;) [00:11] ikonia, I'm a frayed knot, if you know a good tutorial or can advise me on a term to google, I'd be mucho grateful [00:11] Spaff: hang on [00:12] Gr33n3gg, my linksys router is configured, and I have a realtek nic [00:12] TVVCR6: Could be, that you have to choose another output ;) [00:12] :) [00:12] thanks ikonia [00:12] toastedmilk: Run ifconfig (in the terminal) when your net is down, and see if you have an IP (either by DHCP or static) [00:12] A related FAQ pointer would do fine (for DVD backup etc) [00:12] hello [00:12] apeiron: thanks! I've seen that link, and it involves adding eth0 to /etc/network/interfaces, which in the past disabled network manager for that interface... is that no longer the case? [00:12] Spaff: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/73584/ there is an example [00:12] what's the easiest way to make my terminal open maximized? [00:12] Spaff: change the uuid's to reference the correct uuid of your disk [00:12] wolki, I don't know, I don't use network manager. [00:13] trying to network booting the livecd.. it doesn't find the network driver in the initrd. is someone with experience in that field? [00:13] Spaff: get the uuid's with the command "blkid" [00:13] hi spreadsheet [00:13] Spaff: does that make sense [00:13] when i go near the close button the titlebar goes white, someone told me to use emerald but i like the Human titlebar, what can i do? [00:13] I have a very simple network set up here which won't change--I did this on a desktop. [00:13] Gr33n3gg, Will do. It's weird though. When I start the computer it won't work, but when I restart my router and cable modem, it works. [00:13] im using nVidia [00:13] i got ubuntu-desktop on kubuntu [00:13] anyone in here using intrepid 64bit? [00:13] ok, so the only way for me to scan is to use xsane, or some other sane based program, in yet those are incompatible with my scanner. I am loving getting rid of tinyXP more and more every day [00:13] toastedmilk: Whoops, I meant 'ifconfig eth0' or whatever your interface is. [00:13] conal: I use.. devede to create video dvd's.. you have k9copy to make backups.. and acidrip to rip dvds to avis or whatever format you like [00:13] can someone paste me their PS1 line (color) in .basrc? [00:13] Gr33n3gg, yeah, i got it [00:13] Blonde-ambition, ya [00:14] conal: that's just the software I've used.. there are lots of alternatives [00:14] rayr: just google PS1 setting - there are tutorials [00:14] i'm trying to get rid of all dirs other then working from my prompt [00:14] ikonia, I think so. I get my UUID's with the blkid command then edit my menu.lst as per your pastebin? [00:14] ok [00:14] thanks [00:14] Spaff: you got it !

[00:14] toastedmilk: Hmm, IMO I would think that its your router and/or network. [00:15] minimec: I installed pavucontrol, now what? [00:15] Spreadsheet: do you expect us to scroll up to find out what the original question was? repeat the whole questions instead [00:15] Blonde-ambition, sorry not using laptop using desktop w/ethernet [00:15] storrgie: list them and mount them from /etc/fstab [00:15] Gr33n3gg, probably. thanks!

How do i remove them? [00:18] I'm fairly new to ubuntu, and wanted to install themes. Installed clearlooks without a hitch, but I'm trying to install an icon theme, "glass icons" and it skins some icons but not others, such as firefox, whereas I'm pretty sure it skins icons like that automatically. The same happens with any other icon pack I try. What can I do to make it skin all icons? [00:19] erUSUL: so messy: http://pastebin.com/d3cb82745 [00:19] Slart: cool. i have lots of free disk space.

[00:22] :s [00:22] wayneward, and the trick is ...*drums* ... not to follow the powertop recomandation: you need hal pooling the bloody CD/DVD-drive in order to write.

[00:24] storrgie: you shouldn't. it was what you wanted no? if you want them to appear on Places and the like mount them in /media/ [00:24] wayneward, i will trust the burn tool AFTER i checked the disc with another PC.

But I think I found something over at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6072919&postcount=14 [00:29] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:29] I'm trying to install icon theme packs but they only skin some icons, not all even though the packs contain the icons for those applicable programs/folders etc. Can anyone help? [00:29] I'm going to do a manual terminal command and see if I can't get to it... [00:29] <`vip> slart, the reason i ask is because I dont have internet where i live. my wife and i sold out house to move in with her parents so my wife can take care of her father while her mother works ... and my mother in law doesnt see it fit to have an internet connection because she is technology disabled [00:29] <`vip> :l [00:29] brb [00:30] seems slicker on the 2.6.27-8-generic kernel [00:30] <`vip> so right now my only inet connection is through my phone, which isnt that slow [00:30] no skipping so far...... [00:30] what is the .deb to install flash in firefox? [00:30] i need a script to be run on boot before login what is the best way i go about this? its just executing a program [00:30] i think its the kernel 2.6.27-7-eeepc-lean kernel [00:30] flashplugin-nonfree i thik... [00:31] `vip: ahh.. now I see.. yes that should work.. if you can get ubuntu to talk to the phone and get it connected that way you can share that connection to other computers on a local lan or something [00:31] how can I compare 2 text files [00:31] What file systems should I use when partitioning my hard drive for \, home, and swap? [00:31] <`vip> Slart, ok ... because now with windows i just plug it in via USB, and click connect [00:31] ill just compile the mad wifi driver and use the stock ubuntu kernel i think its fixed it!!!!!!! [00:31] great [00:32] Slart: actually, i had seen it elsewhere and it doesn't answer the question. I want to start the terminal maximized; ie not at a particular size but at the maximum size [00:32] is g++-3.4 not in ibex? [00:32] Freek: ext3 for / and home, swap for swap [00:32] lindenle: no [00:32] its not o_0 [00:32] i had to apt-get it [00:32] There's a "swap" file system? [00:32] Spreadsheet: from where [00:32] `vip: the hard part is getting the internet connection working on the phone.. I use my mobile phone for internet connection from my laptop and it works.. but it took a while and several phone calls to my mobile phone carrier before I found someone that at least understood what I was asking about [00:32] How do I get Network Manager to delete lines in /etc/resolv.conf? I made the file unwritable by root, but still that line gets deleted. [00:32] i cannot apt-get install it [00:32] Freek: no [00:32] lindenle: huh [00:32] Slart: oops, sorry. tl;dr my mistake [00:32] <`vip> ok [00:32] i forgot [00:33] i might not have [00:33] Spreadsheet No candidate version found for g++-3.4 [00:33] djhash: use sdiff file1 file2 [00:33] <`vip> many thanks, Slart [00:33] i was trying to do something in KDE [00:33] How do I get Network Manager to stop deleting lines in /etc/resolv.conf?

[00:33] lindenle: sorry i dont know [00:33] is there a way to import/transfer the customized appearance settings of one user to a livecd so those cutom appearances will be there when booting from the cd? [00:33] What sizes should I use for my partitions: Win2k, \, home, and swap? [00:33] `vip: you're welcome and good luck [00:34] matreya6: what are you trying to do? use a special dns-server before using one of the dhcp supplied ones? [00:34] I have a 40 GB hard drive [00:34] anyone have an easy way to make evolution send me email alerts for meetings? [00:34] Freek, use 2x your RAM size for swap, the rest of the sizes [00:34] !ics [00:34] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [00:35] hi, im trying to install icon theme packs but they wont skin all of the icons on my pc, only some, even though the packs contain those icons. what could be the problem? [00:35] Freek: I'd go with 20GB for /, 1xRAM for swap and the rest for /home [00:35] right, anyone? I thought my ubuntu wouldn't load up because my HDD's kept swapping position however my grub menu.lst definitely has the correct UUID of the root partition it should be using therefore the root (hd2,4) shouldn't matter, right? Anyone have any ideas? [00:35] What about Win2k? [00:35] Slart, I'm trying to tie 2 computers together on their 2nd ethernet devices, using a crosslink cable. As soon as I connect the cable Network Manager deletes my nameserver gateway line [00:36] hey if i followed this tutorial ( http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=3&url=http%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Fsoftware%2Fhow-to%2Fset-up-vnc-on-ubuntu-in-four-steps-317125.php&ei=ug0iSduSE5y-MbvZme0J&usg=AFQjCNH5iPzCq9tIcLeaDymmi57wlkVbrA&sig2=JSJ0r4VzHfAd-k5Yate5Qw ) [00:36] how do i remove the password [00:36] im trying to test out android-vnc-viewer [00:36] but it doesnt have password support yet [00:36] how do i 'echo' to /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth ? doing it via 'sudo echo "disable" > bluetooth' gives me a permission denied... [00:37] Freek: ah..I think I'd put /home and / on the same partition.. due to the size constraints.. so 20 for /, 1xRAM for swap and the rest for win2k [00:37] would ubuntu's performace get squashed if I install 32bit on 64bit system? [00:37] not from my experience, djhash [00:37] matreya6: so.. you want computer 2 to use computer 1 for dns resolution? [00:37] djhash, no, but you would be unable to use the 64-bit specific opcodes [00:38] d0nets: you try to share the desktop or a separate vnc server? [00:38] matreya6: and I guess if I have to ask what are those.. then it shouldn't matter right :-) [00:39] lol [00:39] anyone have an easy way to make evolution send me email alerts for alarms? [00:39] what is the easiest/fastest way to move / to another partition? rsync seems to have problems with /proc or can these errors be ignored? do i have to use dd? [00:39] d0nets: instead of that howto.. you can also share your desktop from the system->prefs->.. there you can also set it to no password (but ask user instead) [00:39] basti: you shouldn't be copying /proc [00:39] Slart, no I want the 2nd interface only on IP-level, no dns required there. Still Network Manager seems to freak out when I connect the 2nd interface, thereby disabling DNS resolution for my first interface in the prcess :-( [00:39] basti: it's generated at boot, iirc.. [00:39] Slart, i just did sudo rsync -va / /media/neuesroot/ [00:39] basti: use dd [00:40] ok [00:40] matreya6: it runs a zeroconfig network if you use a cross cable. you'll get a 169... IP, right? [00:40] basti: ofcourse make sure the destination is atleast as large as the source [00:40] matreya6: nggh.. it's to late at night (or early in the morning) for those kinds of problems =) [00:40] sure... [00:41] ok I just tried connecting using pppconfig, but that didn't work. Can I DIAL-UP using PPP with my working SERIAL MODEM... in the NETWORK MANAGER. Please let me know. :) [00:41] It's changed since 8.04... [00:41] zsquareplusc, No I get the IP-adresses I have assigned manually via ifconfig, namely 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2, with 255.255.255.0 as netmask for both NIC's in both computers [00:42] basti: if I were you I'd start thinking of a way to stop it from copying the /proc tree.. I don't know how to do it though.. perhaps there is a switch to make rsync ignore certain paths or something [00:42] dd takes a long time, doesnt it? im thinking about reinstalling [00:42] *sigh* just upgraded to Intrepid and gdm isn't coming up. What is Rgbpath and why is it in my xorg.conf file (I didn't put it there)? [00:42] Jordan_U: im here [00:42] Jordan_U: read your comment, im on 8.04 [00:42] zsquareplusc, basically I want this 2nd (Gigabit) connection to transfer my files from my old box to my spanking new one, since my external HDD drive kicked the can. [00:42] hey guys, the screen resolution administration applet ain't giving me the full 1920x1080 resolution i know my tv can do, instead giving me the danged 1280x1024 res it's used to. any way to fix it without delving into xorg.conf? [00:43] matreya6: Any idea on how to Dial-Up through the Network Manager? My Modem has always been supported before, even on ye'ol Red Hat! [00:43] :) [00:43] zsquareplusc, I don't have a Gigabit switch and I'd like some when transfering all thos files [00:43] erUSLA gone? [00:43] hi all. is it true that -rt kernels don't support smp? [00:43] :( [00:44] ... [00:44] mantequilla: if its the only connection, just leaving everything on automatic should get you a zerconf network. but you mention 2 network interfaces in the pc [00:44] anyone really familiar with network manager? [00:44] Gaming4JC, as you might have seen, I'm not to keen on Network Manager, I always configure interfaces via configuration files if possible. [00:45] Gaming4JC, in short: 'No I don't know how to do that" [00:45] hey guy as far as fstab...how do i make it so I dont have to be root to edit the files in the drives I mount in media....like right now when i try to cut and paste something from one drive to another i have to sudo nautilus it [00:45] ok... [00:46] hi [00:46] i dont seem to have the network manager in the settings... [00:46] hi [00:46] how you all [00:46] does anyone have a nds r4 [00:47] I'll keep messing around with Gnome-ppp. I'm pretty saddened by the lack of Dial-Up support in Interpred. Hardy was better. [00:47] yes [00:47] Where would you find drivers for the Intel® P45 + ICH10R Chipset? [00:47] where do u download roms [00:47] ? [00:47] how do i change my default nickname for irssi? [00:47] droids- /nick whatever [00:48] yoyo: if the drive is formatted ext3, you need to use chmod. [00:48] zsquareplusc, That's promising, I run the Firestarter firewall, could that have to do something with what I'm experiencing right now? [00:48] how can i remove ubuntu? [00:48] brb again >_< [00:48] under google [00:48] ARgh [00:48] I'm a bit rusty, I swear I've done it before [00:48] format [00:48] (or any other fs that supports linux permissions) [00:48] calwig: Can you try the backported libdvdnav from the ppa mentioned in the bug report? [00:48] How do I restart xserver? [00:48] tom_, What part of ubuntu do you want to remove, the bootloader? [00:48] Well, the graphics thingy [00:48] Wasn't it init 1? [00:48] Falstius: theres nothing i can set in the fstab to give root privledges? Also how do i use chmod? [00:48] Motherboard drivers for Linux (Ubuntu). Where do you find them? [00:48] !xserver [00:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver [00:49] !sorg [00:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about sorg [00:49] !xorg [00:49] TVVCR6: ctrl-alt-backspace [00:49] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [00:49] matreya6: i don't think that writes resolv.conf, or does it? [00:49] Sorry, meant xorg [00:49] TVVCR6, try Ctrl + [Backspace] [00:49] Thanks [00:49] xsorg is part of linux [00:49] yep [00:49] lazukars: i mean, it won't let me connect because i have an 'erroneous nickname', and since i'm not connected, it won't let me /nick to change it. [00:50] yoyo: in fstab you can set who can mount and umount a partition, but to actually allow writing and reading you generally need to change the permissions (unless this is a NTFS drive). [00:50] zsquareplusc, I'm just pulling at straws I guess :-/ [00:50] how can i remonve ubuntu? [00:50] has anyone got an old computer i can do up [00:50] yoyo: for chmod, it would be something like chmod a+rwX /media/disk but you should check the man page. [00:50] how can i install windows and take away ubuntu\ [00:50] Does the new network manager with gnome support ndiswrapper? [00:50] yep [00:50] tom__: Just install windows over Ubuntu [00:50] help [00:50] how? [00:50] tom__: do you know how to install windows? [00:50] hey i switched to xfce to lower system demand and my volume buttons no longer work (laptop), play stop for. rev. still work though - and opening gome volume control doesn't change anything [00:50] this is weird. or maybe not, hoping for an explanation... i can't type in 'transparent' anywhere in firefox without it closing, i can't save a file called 'transparent' without the associated ap closing... is it normal? [00:50] no [00:51] tom_:install windows [00:51] how [00:51] tom__: then you're in the wrong place. [00:51] yes you can install windows on a top of it [00:51] wait [00:51] i klnow how [00:51] tom__: Ask in ##windows for help installing windows [00:51] but [00:51] it wont work [00:51] i love windows 98 [00:51] and xp home [00:51] matthew: because of teh viri? ;-) [00:52] tom_: thw Windows installer gives you ample opportunity to remove the linux partititions so you can reclaim the space. This has to be done in the screen where setup asks you which disk to use as system disk. [00:52] ok [00:52] lazukars: never mind. just realized that it was on the man page. [00:52] :B [00:52] yea baby === jgoguen|away is now known as jgoguen [00:52] do you guys know the XKCD 'man' cartoon? [00:53] can ubuntu have 2 screens ? [00:53] zsquareplusc, matthew, I run both Linux (day to day basis) and sometimes WinXP Prof. (for some games that won't work under Wine yet) [00:53] matthew: yes [00:53] yes two or more as many as you want check on youtube [00:53] suck my dick sir [00:53] Motherboard Drivers for Linux(Ubuntu). Where do you find them? [00:53] matthew: yes. as 2 separate x servers or with xinerama [00:53] i know thats sucks ah [00:53] !language | tom_ [00:53] tom_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[00:55] Falstius: i mean dual 3d desktop. [00:55] In 8.10 is network manager supposed to start in the 'system tray' (sorry, only know the windows term) [00:55] xiangu: you don't need an nvidia card for dual 3d desktop. [00:56] i thought you need a duel video card [00:56] gilster, no I have never heard of that cartoon, is it any good, if yes: where can I find it/ [00:56] matthew: or two video cards. [00:56] matreya6, very good. www.xkcd.com [00:56] has anyone had issues with the cursor image going crazy (comes up as a square of random junk)? it's happened to me in KDE and in XFCE, running 8.10 [00:56] Falstius: my video card is ATI, i can't set up 2 3d-desktop. [00:56] matreya6: do you know xkcd? [00:57] there is great RTFM cartoon on it....i recomment it to all you people how love and hate the 'man' [00:57] who^ [00:57] Falstius: two video cards. yes. :-) [00:57] i have a AMD atlion Dual Core 2.9 Ghz System cool ah and about 512 of ram [00:57] xiangfu: some ati cards have a virtual desktop limit of 2048x2048. So you might have to put one monitor logically above the other. [00:58] Falstius: i will google that. thanks. [00:58] rhsanborn, Thanks for the link, it's a nice thoughtful cartoon [00:58] i am going to make a new computer up next year useing ubuntu [00:59] I need huge help. [00:59] xkcd is the best comic on the net btw!! [00:59] dual screen as well [00:59] Question - Can you directly upgrade the 32bit version of Ubuntu to the 64bit version? [00:59] yes [00:59] xiangfu: there is actually a pretty good writeup in the thinkwiki wiki. [00:59] Krysztof: Just ask your question [00:59] I need to reinstall Ubuntu on my laptop (which as a G-book). So I put the Ubuntu ISO on a CD-R disk. [00:59] as long you have a 64bit computer [00:59] I need some help from someone who understands networkmanager [01:00] And when I put it on my laptop...It goes to the screen. Language. [01:00] matthew: I do. I installed the 32b version because of Adobe Flash [01:00] !ask | storrgie [01:00] storrgie: 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. :-) [01:00] I choose English and then it loads, and loads, and loads. [01:00] Jordan_U: sure i can, how do i do that. go thru synaptic [01:00] bazaab, beta at best, but I think adobe release the 64 bit linux version today [01:00] And then it comes to this weird background and then the mouse pointer goes crazy and it freezes. [01:00] how much ram do you have ? [01:01] Me? [01:01] yep [01:01] Krzysztof, ah sounds like you have an nVidia card, right? [01:01] Jordan_U: you dont understand, i have been at this networking issue for 9 nights, its due to network manager, I just need someone who understands how it works [01:01] Not a clue, I'd have to look up the specifications on the internet. [01:01] rhsanborn: alpha, and that is by adobe standards. [01:01] I do, Materya. [01:01] Wai [01:01] firefox isnt working any help? [01:01] Wait* [01:01] let me check @ Mater [01:01] Krzysztof, Try running it in Safe Graphics mode [01:01] Falstius, corrected [01:01] I need to install 8.10 on my laptop, I can barely boot from cd (drive on last leg)..I am in ubuntu with live cd now, as soon as the installer starts reading files from cd it errors (i/o, cd drive failure)..so, can I run ubiquity with an option to install from iso? [01:01] hello. Odd one here. I have a DVD with both UDF and ISO sets (the new Wrath of the Litch King Expansion for World of Warcraft). Ubuntu auto mounted it as UDF (for mac). what filesystem am I looking to mount this on? [01:02] I believe I do @ Mater. [01:02] it opens and has a tab on the toolbar saying "Strating firefox" but then it closes [01:02] storrgie: No harm in asking your question, pastebin it if you don't want to keep typing an explanation over and over [01:02] Jordan_U: will have to read this issue a bi more proabably later, i must get going now, but it seems like it could work somehow :) will you be here perhaps another time, tomorrow? i could use the help from a good peasant :) [01:02] I have the EvereX Notebook. [01:02] my sond card is packing a sad help me please anyone ? [01:02] SilentDis:how is northrend [01:02] i mean sound card [01:02] right, anyone? I thought my ubuntu wouldn't load up because my HDD's kept swapping position however my grub menu.lst definitely has the correct UUID of the root partition it should be using therefore the root (hd2,4) shouldn't matter, right? Anyone have any ideas? [01:02] blinkn1: no idea, can't get the DVD mounted right to perform the install lol [01:02] Krzysztof, Do you see alternating dirty green lines? [01:02] calwig: I will probably be here tomorrow [01:03] http://tinyurl.com/249rjg [01:03] Matreya6: When I insert the disk, choose, a language and let it run? Or just press the on button/ [01:03] Krzysztof, try F4 first to change it to safe mode first. [01:03] blinkn1: it's mounting the Mac side of the DVD, i need it to mount the 'windows' side, or, more specifically, whatever the name for 'iso' on a DVD is :) [01:04] do you people live in new zealand [01:04] Jordan_U: will do, thanks then, should i read something before i install it from the backported reps? [01:04] Matreya: When I just press the on button? [01:04] http://tinyurl.com/249rjg Check this, it might help. [01:04] SilentDis: how do you plan to run the Mac installer if you *do* mount it? [01:04] Krzysztof, no, are you running the Live CD? [01:04] mneptok: that's the problem. I need to mount the windows side. ubuntu is automounting the mac side [01:05] calwig: No, just don't update any other packages while you have that repository enabled, and if it breaks something then remove the repo and re-install the standard package [01:05] SilentDis: side? or session? [01:05] dose anyone have blue ray player [01:05] !anyone | matthew [01:05] matthew: 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? [01:05] ide [01:05] hello [01:05] hi [01:05] Matreya: I WAS running a disk that I burned and mounted an ISO on. But if I don't have that in the disktray when I turn on my computer it goes to a MemTest 0.86 or something that effect. [01:05] does anyone know the difference between the envy NVidia driver and the default restricted that Ubuntu installs? [01:05] 1.70 [01:06] marcelo: Envy will always install the latest driver available [01:06] mneptok: blizzard puts out a 'universal' disk that will mount under windows and mac, but with different file systems and files for each, to allow both mac and windows users to use the same disk. ubuntu has taken it upon itself to mount the mac version, and i can't remember how to mount a dvd like this on the windows side instead. [01:06] Jordan_U, hmm, thanks [01:06] Jordan_U: ok ill have a look, although i dont have a movie to try anymore so i will have to see perhaps buy one [01:06] Jordan_U: im renting them now, [01:06] hi, when i try burning the ubuntu iso on my cd it doesnt burn [01:06] SilentDis: side? or session? [01:06] SilentDis, This may be too easy, but have you tried iso9660?

If NOT, hit ALT+F2 on your keyboard, and enter: gksudo nautilus --no-desktop you'll have to do this twice to open 2 windows [01:47] pw-toxic: do you use compiz? [01:47] Eressolar: so the command would look as follows for a .bz2? tar xvjf -C [tar file] [new location[ [01:47] lianimator: compiz is big ;) [01:47] gilster, as far as i know Linux does not have any support for using a dvd disk as a big "floppy drive" Like you often see done in Windows... [01:47] yawns [01:47] lianimator: yes i got the compiz manager.. but there are very many options [01:47] jrib, same result ... blank screen [01:47] pw-toxic: open ccsm [01:47] gilster, at least if it does.. its not commonly used.. :) [01:47] shadowwulf: what did you do to test? [01:47] Dr_willis: I have been able to do this [01:48] booted and logged on [01:48] gilster, nifty. You are the first person ive seen whos done it then. [01:48] jrib, booted and logged on [01:48] Dr_willis: I can format the disc from cli inUDF format [01:48] then it does drag and drop quite efficientyl [01:48] shadowwulf: it only happens after you login? GDM works fine? [01:48] pw-toxic: use the advanced search [01:48] lianimator: i have found the options [01:48] GDM being the logon screen ? [01:48] lianimator: big thx [01:48] hello all [01:48] shadowwulf: yes [01:49] anyone running ubuntu on the eee? [01:49] jrib, no the logon screen is skewed ... [01:49] shadowwulf: skewed? [01:49] ezzieyguywuf: tar -xjvf file.tar.bz2 -C /path/to/extract/to [01:49] I-am-weasel, 'gksudo nautilis --no-desktop' As is? [01:49] Eressolar: thanks [01:49] jrib, greyish white and white for the logon name and password [01:49] lianimator: damn now if i only click the left mous button, the context menu does open ;) [01:49] shadowwulf: what version of ubuntu is this? [01:49] jrib, 8.10 [01:49] zoot_: kinda [01:49] lianimator: well i think i use a very strange hotkey for this sub menu so i wont open it ;) little workaround but it will work === hhgh5 is now known as q1995 [01:49] hi i need help to configure my user on vsftpd so he only have access to one folder not all the pc i know vsftpd use the pc user acount to have an access to ftp but i dont find any where wehre i can grand or denied any things on a folder or anythings can some one help me? [01:49] shadowwulf: you could try installing the nvidia drivers [01:50] pw-toxic: use None. [01:50] jrib, how do i do that ? [01:50] toastedmilk, Just like that :) [01:50] any idea what is wrong with my update manager it is complaining about base-files there are 19 important updates and non of them will install [01:50] lianimator: i had none, but it didnt work [01:50] pw-toxic: it reverted? [01:50] shadowwulf: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [01:51] toastedmilk, apologies, for some reason you MUST do it from Terminal O_O Or it doesn't show up [01:51] lianimator: i cant open any open in the compiz manager ;( [01:51] left mouse click doesnt help.. wait [01:51] help... need some tips, fast... i will be installing ubuntu on 10 identical machines... what's the fastest way i can do it? [01:51] zsquare: any experience getting bluetooth and the webcam working on a eee 901? [01:51] should i just install everything one by one? [01:51] jrib, says i have the newest version [01:51] anyone have experience moving an existing install to a larger harddrive? [01:51] 'ello [01:51] arktvrvs: sudo apt-get update try again [01:52] toastedmilk, and gksudo is being picky... so just run gksudo nautilus (it doesnt like --no-desktop for some reason [01:52] shadowwulf: enable it in your xorg.conf then [01:52] jrib, could be that it is using NV instead of nvidia ? [01:52] d [01:52] shadowwulf: not "could", it is [01:52] jrib, ok how [01:52] I-am-weasel, haha yeah it wasn't working [01:52] jordanv, no luck, same thing. [01:53] zoot_: do you have a question? [01:53] lianimator: oh damn it looks like my alt key is locked now... i cant left click anymore becuase he thinks im doing a alt + left mous [01:53] lianimator: i'll try somethign.. brb [01:53] I-am-weasel, mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins [01:53] mv: cannot move `libflashplayer.so' to `/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so': Permission denied [01:53] :'( [01:53] i wonder why does gvim ignore my font rendering settings (subpixel antialiasing, hinting, etc) and is there a way to fix this? [01:53] jrib, what do i type to replace the NV with nvidia [01:53] shadowwulf: pastebin your current one and I'll edit it for you [01:54] I-am-weasel, oh, sudo [01:54] jrib, xorg.conf ? [01:54] Yes, I'm helping a guy with an eee 901 get his bluetooth and webcam working [01:54] toastedmilk: why are you doing that? Use the directory I told you. No need for sudo [01:54] toastedmilk, grrr i see you got sound issues with firefox :P === eightyeight is now known as atoponce [01:54] jrib, what? [01:54] shadowwulf: yes [01:54] any way to check if hardware is configured correctly? === vorian is now known as heHATEme [01:54] How can I configure my printer? [01:54] zoot_: i think the webcams have been a problem on those.. have you tried eee-ubuntu? [01:54] toastedmilk: use ~/.mozilla/plugins/ for your libflashplayer.so. No need for sudo there [01:54] running ubuntu-eee, yes [01:55] hi [01:55] * Spaff cries at his UNWORKING ubuntu and departs in a wave of self-pity [01:55] I installed it for him at a LUG meeting [01:55] zoot_: well, is the webcam on in the bios? [01:55] i want to make a dvd out of an avi file, is there an easy way to do that? [01:55] he's taking it to Africa in less than a week [01:55] I'm using k9copy to encode a video, but it doesn't seem to be writing it [01:55] working for UNICEF [01:55] remote, DeVeDe can do that [01:55] i have to poop a little [01:55] ewww [01:55] thanks [01:56] zoot_, is there a repo for ubuntu-eee? [01:56] is DeVeDe any better than k9copy? will it do mpeg4 for an ipod? [01:56] Indy: I think it is, but that was my first suggestion for him. Do you know what it would be called in the eee BIOS or what tab it would be under? [01:56] he's a little skittish about tinkering with his BIOS [01:56] I want to get rid of my windows partition, and make everything ubuntu. I have just one fear: Will ubuntu music players be able to 1. Play DRM-locked music (such as music bought from iTunes store) and 2. Sync with my iPod? [01:56] jrib, thanks for the tip! [01:56] how do i register my nickname === heHATEme is now known as vorian [01:57] кто нибудь по русски разговаривает? [01:57] damijit: 1) not by default, no. 2) yes, given the music is DRM-stripped prior. [01:57] damijit why don't you just remove the DRM? [01:57] @free- that's a good question [01:57] !ru | serpico .... I think it's russian anyway :P [01:57] serpico .... I think it's russian anyway :P: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [01:57] how would I go about removing DRM? And will I still be able to use apple's interface for my iPod (on my iPod, not my computer)? [01:58] ever since i updated to hardy firefox is taking incredibly long to load [01:58] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73612/ [01:58] lianimator: i think i have t reset compiz.... [01:58] damijit since you're not changing anything on the iPod it will stay the same [01:58] lianimator: i cant do anyhting anymore because wheni use left click on a window, he wants to drag the window isntead of clicking onto it [01:59] lianimator: how can i reset this? [01:59] lianimator: ah if i click altGr i can click somewhere in the window [01:59] !it [01:59] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [02:00] pw-toxic: how did you configure the key? [02:00] shadowwulf_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/73615/ [02:00] pw-toxic: you should revert. use the keyboard to config it [02:00] ok silly question here, i just installed vnc server on 8.10 Desktop ... where is the start up file located and or how do i start it ? [02:00] EJ: vncserver :10 [02:01] damijit Requiem is what I hear is popular to remove the DRM without burning CDs [02:01] how can I start a game in a particular resolution? [02:01] pw-toxic: use the keyboard keys, up down, tab, etc. to reset the keys to default [02:01] vnc4server or tightvncserver [02:01] depends on what is there I guess [02:01] Ubuntu rocks [02:01] lianimator: i just used "deactivated" for "window menu" in : compiz Manager -> general options -> general -> window menu [02:01] lianimator: thats the only thing i have changed... it it still doesnt work [02:01] Any one have successful BearShare v7 installation ? [02:02] lianimator: it really looks like my ALT key is bugge, because aund alt + mouse1 i have the drag [02:02] lianimator: if i press altGr + mouse1 now, it works like i would press mouse1 only normally [02:02] pw-toxic: you can try disabling compiz first. metacity --replace [02:03] lianimator: i think i have found a bug within compiz [02:03] lianimator: if i change the option of "window menu" to "Button1" instead of "deactivated" everything works well [02:03] pw-toxic: then reset the shortcuts. [02:03] has anyone here used "eee-control"? http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/ [02:04] looks like this might help getting all the hardware going [02:04] pw-toxic: okay. you found a work-around [02:05] lianimator: how do i register my nick???? [02:06] krishna: I forgot.. [02:06] !register > krishna [02:06] Praise for Ubuntu: I'm running off the live CD while I fix my computer, and it's still way faster than the Windows computer-lab computers at my University (and my computer is about 5 years old) [02:06] krishna, please see my private message [02:06] hi.how do I change my internet gateway? [02:06] is there a command? [02:06] anyone know if there is a bug related to the "System setting" option not working in network-manager? [02:06] !persistent [02:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about persistent [02:06] !register TopBunny88 [02:06] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:07] hi all. can anyone point me to a resource that explains how to build something from a git repository? a fork of keyjnote was created under the name "accentuate" but there don't appear to be any packages anywhere. i'm somewhat new at building things from source code. [02:07] How do I get to the task manager in linux? [02:07] u can chenge the gw by this: sudo route add gefault gw 192.168.x.x [02:07] It's like the thing in windows [02:07] i tried to change it via the GUI but no cigar [02:07] TVVCR6: ? [02:07] TVVCR6: click the system monitor applet on your panel [02:07] TVVCR6: gefault or default? [02:07] TVVCR6: you mean list processes? ps -ax [02:07] lianimator: Hyh? [02:07] *huh? [02:07] lianimator: lol my pc just totally froze :D i couldnt use any key or any mouse to do anything ;) even the console (strg + alt + 1) didnt work ;) [02:07] or use Top [02:07] Hello [02:07] lianimator: Where is that? [02:08] TVVCR6: type Alt+F2 then system-monitor [02:08] TVVCR6: it's the system monitor - you can add it to the panel or you can get it from System => Administration => System Monitor [02:08] jrib ok i kind of see my desktop now... but the colors are still not right [02:08] new to ubuntu and trying to set my iiyama crt monitor. I cannot find the driver and the generic driver does not allow me to go higher than 800*600 pixels, which is too low. Any idea? (My card is Geforce2) thanks [02:08] mroc: Thank you :) [02:08] jrib, but i can see the desktop in false colors [02:09] TVVCR6: welcome. [02:09] lianimator: thats what im confused [02:09] htop is better than system-monitor , it doesnt take up 40% CPU :P [02:09] mroc: How exactly do I add it to the panel [02:09] shadowwulf: I don't know then. Does it work okay in other OSs like windows? [02:09] : does the command only work after restarting the PC? [02:09] pw-toxic: kill compiz! [02:09] jrib, it does [02:09] does anyone know how to setup ekiga for my voip account? [02:09] aeshan: Huh? [02:09] sudo route add gefault gw 192.168.x.x [02:09] shadowwulf: it's not a resolution problem right? [02:10] in xchat, whats this red line going across mean? [02:10] ...? [02:10] TVVCR6: right click on a blank part of the panel and there's an "Add to Panel" option. in the window that pops up, one of the options in the list is the System Monitor. choose to add that, and then you can move it around by right clicking on the new icon in the panel and choosing "Move" [02:10] jrib, no it is not [02:10] shadowwulf: try asking the channel again. I don't have any ideas [02:10] jrib, the monitors can handle the resolution [02:10] mroc: thanks [02:10] TVVCR6: no problem. [02:10] jrib, thanks for the help [02:10] I'm a bit rusty. I haven't used any linux version in over 2 years :s [02:10] binarydigit, its like a history tag.. if you go to other windows.. it shows where you were at when you left.. [02:11] Dr_willis, thats cool, but why only certain channels? [02:11] binarymutant, i see it in all channels... [02:11] can somebody help me with 8.10 and nvidia drivers .. i see my desktop in false colors .. but no text ... [02:11] what's htop? [02:12] chaqui1, a better replacement for top [02:12] i can hear my typing in my speakers [02:12] Great_Gatsby, you can probably turn that off in the bios [02:12] it just started once i upgraded to hardy [02:13] Dr_willis, i'm not seeing it in this chan and in #debian on oftc.net, it's weirding me out :/ [02:13] Great_Gatsby, you can hear your typing? Sounds like your mic is on or something [02:13] i dont have a mic [02:13] im on a laptop [02:14] My Laptops hjave built in mics [02:14] Great_Gatsby, my laptop will make a sound for typing, you can turn it off in the bios [02:14] Great_Gatsby, are you sure? A lot of lappy's have built in mics [02:14] oh, weird [02:14] every time i hit enter or space i here a blip [02:14] this is an old laptop [02:14] theres no mic [02:14] mine is too [02:14] Great_Gatsby, try the insert key.. You may be in insert/overwrite mode [02:14] yeah, you might be able to turn off system beeps in your bios [02:15] i'm looking to get a piece of software called "Accentuate" (a fork of the project that used to be called keyjnote). it seems to only be available through git. can anyone explain how to get/build this, or point me to something that does explain it? [02:15] mroc, sudo apt-get install build-essiential git-core [02:15] lianimator: lol now this is getting really evil ;) if i press the hotkey mouse1 my X11 freezes, so that i cant do any action anymore.. .. zooming with the mosue still works but not keyboard shortcut or mouse action [02:15] lianimator: can you tell me how i can reset x-server manually by console? [02:16] lianimator: (i just have rebootet and everything works again) [02:16] pw-toxic: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [02:16] binarymutant: ok...done. [02:17] lianimator: what stands gdm for? [02:17] ah gnome desktop manger [02:17] ok i will remember this [02:17] mroc, git clone [02:17] mroc, do you have a website I can see to follow along? It'll be easier to help [02:17] pw-toxic: everything works now? the way you want it? [02:18] binarymutant: http://repo.or.cz/w/accentuate.git [02:18] BearShare alternative ? [02:18] pw-toxic: did Ctrl+Alt+Backspace not restart X? [02:18] Frostwire [02:18] lianimator: i have done a work around: i have the hotkey "Button3 for the hotkey i think i will NEVER accidantly press this shortcut ;) [02:18] mroc, git clone http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page [02:18] pw-toxic: lol! [02:18] lianimator: i dont know this shortcut but i will try wait [02:18] LOl nm [02:18] lianimator: it works :D [02:18] I want 128 cores [02:18] mroc *, git clone http://repo.or.cz/w/accentuate.git [02:19] lianimator: strg alt backspace works too [02:19] cool [02:19] pw-toxic: it worked.. lol [02:19] lianimator: now i have only one issue left: alt + mouse1 doesnt drag my window anymore... do you know where this option can be found? :D [02:19] I'm moving files from my trash-can to my desktop. I have only one partition mounted on "/" (no special home-partition or anything). Why isn't it instantaneous? It is moving the files at 4.6 MB/s now and that just feels weird Anyone? [02:20] pw-toxic: if you can still type, Alt+F2 then run "metacity --replace" will use metacity instead of compiz [02:20] meh my fetch failed mroc [02:20] binarymutant: as did mine [02:20] pw-toxic: in compiz also [02:20] lianimator: yeah but i have spent hours in compiz manager :D its very big [02:20] pw-toxic: if you want to use gconf-editor, it's still okay [02:20] lianimator: well compiz is the thing why i have installed ubuntu :D [02:20] also, i couldn't move all of the files since the trashed folder contains 10 GB of files and my disk only has 2.6 gigs left [02:20] pw-toxic: use the advanced search. very useful! [02:21] or at least that's what i was told. Really weird. [02:21] binarymutant: any suggestions on what to do from here, or is there nothing to be done at this point? [02:22] mroc, gimmie a sec i [02:22] lianimator: i dont know what i should look for ;) [02:22] pw-toxic: there is a plugin called move window [02:22] (now i moved 1,5 GB of the files from trash to the desktop folder and the size of the disk didn't change. And i don't ave a .Trash-folder either in my home-dir. I really dont understand this :D) [02:23] lol!!!!!!!! [02:23] mroc, git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/accentuate.git [02:23] lianimator: my initate window move now got the hotkey Button1 [02:23] moonlite: trash is still stored on your disk. [02:23] lianimator: there really seems to be a strange bug ;) [02:23] lianimator: yes of course it is [02:24] lianimator: window menu and initate windoe move are coupled ;) [02:24] pw-toxic: that's a looooong "short" cut [02:24] but the trash should be stored on the same partition right? making the move instantaneous? [02:24] mroc, it's just a single python script [02:24] pw-toxic: should call it longcut [02:24] lianimator: yes its a long shortcut, but i havend entered it [02:24] lets see what happens if i redefine this hotkey ;) [02:24] i'll remember strg alt backspace ;) [02:25] lianimator: now alt + mouse2 opens the window menu ;))))))))))))) [02:25] lianimator: i have just found a bug ;) do you know where i can commit compiz bugs? [02:25] binarymutant: ok, so...is there no compilation? do i just make it executable and run it? [02:25] I was told to Bootup normally and hit e to drop into the terminal, then add profile to the end of my kernel's startup line. How do I add that? [02:26] lianimator: and the thing about me not being able to move stuff from thrash whos sum size is bigger than what my partition is also feels strange (since when i move files with size less than that my free disk space don't change) [02:26] pw-toxic: are you aware of the button numbers? [02:26] mroc, it's already executable so just ./accentuate but it needs python-opengl python-pygame and python-imaging to work, so you'll have to apt-get those dependencies too [02:26] best bittorrent client for ubuntu?? [02:26] gvfs bug perhaps? [02:26] tsunami, rtorrent [02:26] pw-toxic: button2 is the middle CLICK [02:27] lianimator: ok then its button3 [02:27] lianimator: but thats not the problem [02:27] tsunami: transmissions seems really good [02:27] binarymutant: does it have a web interface? [02:27] tsunami, uh...idk [02:27] moonlite: i don't really like transmission coming from utorrent [02:27] pw-toxic: try restarting compiz [02:27] pw-toxic: Alt+F2 then compiz [02:27] lianimator: the problem is that if i change the shortcut of "initaite window move" of the "move window" plug-in the hotkey for the window menu does get changed [02:27] how can I convert a flash file to pure audio? [02:27] tsunami: then just use utorrent, it works quite well w/ wine [02:27] lianimator: i can only change both hotkeys at the same time ... [02:27] does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias?? [02:28] does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias?? [02:28] tsunami: oh. I never thought of uTorrent as anything but a UI disaster. :) [02:28] join #security [02:28] pw-toxic: that IS pretty weird [02:28] IndyGunFreak: how do you get it running on ubuntu? [02:28] tsunami, rtorrent does have a web interface [02:28] lianimator: yes ;) [02:28] tsunami: http://www.winehq.org [02:28] binarymutant: thanks so much for your help. i'll grab the dependencies and see if it works. [02:28] Hello! Does anyone know how to solve the wifi killswitch problem? I've tried changing the module.d option to turn the led on but it didn't work. I'm trying to figure out how to work the acer hotkey thingie but i'm a newb and don't understand it all [02:28] pw-toxic: what I'd do is stop compiz, config it, then run it. [02:28] does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias?? [02:28] moonlite: yeah, it will be helpful to know that i have recently made the move to ubuntu [02:28] does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias?? [02:28] does anyone know the irc channel for University of Californias?? [02:28] zzl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:29] mroc, just so I know, what does it do? [02:29] lianimator: well my compiz and emerald just broke :D how can i restart compiz and emerald? [02:29] can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui [02:29] zzl, i would say google may be a good starting point.. it may not neve exist on this server [02:29] pw-toxic: run "metacity" [02:29] Can someone please help? I´m running Ubuntu Studio 8.10... and it allowed me to turn on the Broadcom driver for my wireless. Wireless light is ON, but wlan0 doesn´t show up in network manager... any thoughts, please? [02:29] pw-toxic: actually "metacity --replace" [02:30] moonlite: how can trash be bigger than "/"? [02:30] broadcom, how I hate tehe [02:30] thee [02:30] brodymcd: open up terminal and put in iwconfig and let me know what the wireless comes up with [02:30] lianimator: well it really isn't. [02:30] as in [02:30] I can't make oolite work [02:30] all the files must be on the same partition (since when i move from trash to wherever my free disk space doesn't change) [02:31] binarymutant: it's an open-gl based presentation software for doing presentations (.pdf and some other formats too i believe). it's predecessor was very cool, and is available in the repos, but it hasn't been worked on for a while. [02:31] lianimator: well, strg + alt + backspace did its work [02:31] I had it working before, but when I switched resolutions it went blank and I haven't been able to get it to start again [02:32] oddly enough, Ubuntu 8.10 live cd had wireless right out of the box cranking, but UStudio throwing me this curve... shouldn´t they be the same? [02:32] so the error message i get seems totally bogus. while nautilus at the same time tells me i can't move files bigger than free disk space out of it becaus it, for some reason, thinks my trash is on another partition. That probably is the proble [02:32] very strange though [02:32] mroc, sounds cool with the opengl, I wonder if it looks like a slide show with compiz effects [02:32] can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui [02:33] What does the >rm -rf / command do? [02:34] try it [02:34] no [02:34] i mean [02:34] its remove [02:34] sudo in front of it though [02:34] idk what the -rf options are [02:34] and the entire root directory [02:34] ? [02:34] mrpockets: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:34] recursive and force [02:34] ah [02:34] so delete the entire file system? [02:34] so recursivly remove everything ya [02:34] binarymutant: it's recently forked from the old project keyjnote (available in the repositories). so it should be very similar. transitions are very nice, very smooth. definitely much more impressive than running a presentation through openoffice or the presentation mode of a pdf reader. [02:34] anyway of getting radeonhd with dri support? [02:35] lianimator: well i think i have to leave the drag window hotkey out ;( ill use keyboard hotkey isntead (strg + space) to initiate drag window [02:35] mroc, thanks for the info, I think i'm going to try it out :) [02:35] question: what is the name of the server? irc.freenode.net? [02:35] mon^rch, ya [02:35] ty [02:36] binarymutant: thanks for the help with my question. worth downloading the script. i just tried it out, seems to be almost identical, but at least it's actively worked on now. [02:37] mroc, I might try and package it if it's not in the repos already [02:37] pw-toxic: try running gconf-editor [02:37] pw-toxic: go to apps/metacity/desktop [02:37] mroc, LIRC support = very cool [02:37] lianimator: well im happy with the current solution ;) [02:38] anyone else please help with Broadcom wireless issue? wlan0 not showing up in network manager despite wireless light ON and Broadcom driver installed [02:38] i have a new ubuntu install, 8.10 x64, and every music program I've used has stopped playing a stream after a short time [02:38] I'm guessing it gets to the end of the buffer then stops [02:38] what package does 8.04 use to show shockwave swf games and such ? [02:39] !shockwave [02:39] Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave [02:39] alex_, got an example player you are using and a stream url? i will try here [02:39] lianimator: i'm playing world of warcraft now ;) [02:39] this is the stream: [02:39] http://deepmix.ru/deepmix128.pls [02:39] does anybody know if ubuntu works fine with windows ans mac os X on a macbook ? [02:40] i just installed bootchart, how can i open it? [02:40] hello. i just installed kde.. but i cant run it :(... [02:40] binarymutant: yes...very. i won't have a chance to try that out anytime soon, but that's one of the newer developments i think. i'd love to see a maintained package if you get a chance. i think it'd benefit a lot of others. not sure that you can mention it being forked from the older project (the name keyjnote got some legal trouble from apple) [02:40] mroc, it needs to be able to recursively go through folders with images though...thats kinda lame [02:40] I've used BMPx, banshee, gnome mplayer and rhythmbox [02:41] Has somebody experimented crashes with the new 64-bit flash plugin running on Intrepid when accessing sites like CNN or Discovery Channel? [02:41] exaile is a really good mp3 player/manager [02:41] i changed season. still gnome is loaded... .anyone can help me? [02:41] exaile is basically a gnome clone of Amarok [02:41] break_free: how is it? [02:41] binarymutant: that is lame, but it works really well for giving presentations in .pdf format (which is what my final version of presentations end up being anyway). sorry if this is getting off-topic for the channel. [02:41] musikgoat, i really enjoy it [02:41] how can I completely remove gnome? I tried apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop gnome gnome-core, but there are still atleast 90 appliation gnome-* which are installed... [02:42] musikgoat, haven't had any problems, has good last.fm and shoutcast integration [02:42] alex_, how long do they normally play till they crash> [02:42] !purekde | error404notfound [02:42] error404notfound: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [02:42] error404notfound, you want only kde? [02:42] mroc, oh ya forgot about the topic, well thanks for introducing me to this app I like it [02:43] bazhang: I want only commandline... converting a desktop install to serv er [02:43] dr_willis: they don't crash, the music just stops. I haven't actually timed it but I'd say a couple of minutes [02:43] error404notfound, you could just not start the kdm/gdm service... [02:43] I can't boot into windows [02:43] error404notfound, then you should get ubuntu server [02:43] I think it's because I never set mount points [02:43] Dr_willis: yes, that's what I did 2 hours ago, but they are still consuming space.... [02:44] alex_, going on 2 min here... jamming to the techno-tunes... :) [02:44] nvm it automatically did [02:44] binarymutant: no problem. i appreciate the help. i'll keep an eye out for a package in the future in case you feel super motivated. :) [02:44] c0re_: no, coz it doesn't detect my usb dsl router, while desktop install does === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:44] error404notfound, fire up the package manger and start removing stuff I guess... [02:44] :D [02:45] what is the unzip command? [02:45] Dr_willis, hey can you help me to install kde on ubuntu intrepid. [02:45] luis_lopez: I'm using the 64bit plugin. CNN videos working fine for me. I've noticed in youtube sometimes I need to refresh the page when the video doesn't load properly (the audio plays but the video is a grey rectangle). [02:45] Dr_willis: excuse me.... I am not into any UI, and using aptitude's ui would be headache, autoremove should have removed them, shouldn't it? [02:45] tsunami: unzip [02:45] owned... :/ [02:45] error404notfound, most likely not.. depoedns on how they got installed. [02:45] Dr_willis: did a fresh intrepid installl [02:45] command to unpack a tar file? [02:46] tsubani: tar -xf filename [02:46] error404notfound, and what exactly did you do to try to remove them? [02:46] tsunami: for it all in one step, tar -xzf filename [02:46] dr_willis: cool, I'm glad you like the stream. i've been listening to this station for a long time on my windows machine so I know it's pretty reliable. There must be something in ubuntu that's causing it. Have you ever played with gstreamer? [02:46] on my Printer (Canon LBP2900 - detected automatically): Print Test Page gives the error: CUPS server error. There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'. [02:46] jamesish, thats not true [02:46] the z option is unzipping. Also ungzipping. For unbzipping, you use tar -xjf. [02:46] alex_, going on 5 min.. Using gmplayer. [02:46] binarymutant: yes it is. [02:46] Dr_willis: as said before apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop which is also the way recommend on the link bazhang gave [02:47] jamesish, well now it is :/ but a .tar is just -xf [02:47] binarymutant: that's what I said. Thanks for verifying. [02:47] (07:46:11 PM) jamesish: tsubani: tar -xf filename [02:47] error404notfound, from what i recall thats just a meta-package.. if it had been installed with appitude, then aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop might of gotten rid of it.. but ive never really tried.. Just heard of others trying to clean the stuff out, and failing [02:48] error404notfound, thats an issue with using meta-packages I guess. [02:48] lol srry jamesish I thought it was someone else that posted the -xf first [02:48] when i play quicktime videos in firefox sometimes i get the error: "The playback of this movie requires a Run-length encoding decoder plugin which is not installed." can someone help me fix this? [02:48] binarymutant: np. It's good that you're keeping an eye out :) [02:48] dr_willis: I have no swap file, do you think that could cause it? (but I have 4gb of ram and I'm only using ~500meg) [02:48] Dr_willis: yes, it's a meta package, but the way to uninstall it is recommended on ubuntu community docs... [02:49] why i get "mount: the special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/fb9d5a70-a92d-428a-a44f-e80de77b1bb1 non exist"? [02:49] luigi: the special device presumably doesn't exist. [02:49] ok, i installed ubuntu the other day and i still have windows on here [02:49] gentoo ftw [02:49] alex_, Guess it could be.. but i doubt it.. you could create a swap file as a test [02:49] jamesish, i've already create this one! [02:49] !info gentoo [02:49] gentoo (source: gentoo): a fully GUI-configurable, two-pane X file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.56-1 (intrepid), package size 773 kB, installed size 2436 kB [02:49] I like gentoo.. its a good file manager. ;P [02:50] dr_willis: any other ideas? [02:50] Is there an AutoHotKey equivalent for Ubuntu? [02:50] why would my wireless connection drop on me, but it doesnt drop for anyone else? [02:50] #ubuntu-br [02:50] alex_, not really.. going on 9 min here.. the stream is getting a tad repettive... [02:51] jamesish, and i read the UUID with vol_id [02:51] why would my wireless connection drop on me, but it doesnt drop for anyone else? [02:51] alex_, sounds about like an arcade game soundtrack.. :) without the explosions.. [02:51] riddlebox, whats the driver? [02:51] riddlebox: do you get dropped from other places as well, or just at home? [02:51] dr_willis: ok, so we can confirm the drop-outs aren't caused by the stream :) [02:51] QuiescentWonder, everywhere [02:52] luigi: there's some questions here. First, how did you make the special device? [02:52] luigi: second, how did you set permissions on it? [02:52] binarymutant, it is a eeepc with the madwifi drivers [02:52] luigi: third, *why* did you make it? These things typically pop into existence when needed [02:52] luigi: and for good measure, what're you trying to do? ;) [02:52] What's that bash command called that shows information about your drives? [02:53] Like sda, sdb, sdc, etc. [02:53] riddlebox, what's the kernel version? [02:54] anyone know why a dual quad core server would only show (cat /proc/cpuinfo) 2 cpus with 1 core each? [02:54] u === noob810 is now known as ubuntu810noob [02:55] jamesish, ok... i'm going to set my new HD with fstab.. i cut it in two part with gparted. so i have /dev/sdb1 and sdb2. after i've read the vol_id in ordet to put the uuid in fstab. at the moment sdb1 work, but sbd2 no. [02:55] riddlebox, an upgrade might help but idk [02:56] Anyone know how to speed up boot-times with OpenBIOS or initng? [02:56] jamesish, this is the sdb2 in fstab: UUID=fb9d5a70-a92d-428a-a44f-e80de77b1bb1 /media/sdb2 ext3 defaults 0 0 [02:56] ok, i installed ubuntu and allowed it to create my dual boot [02:56] anyway, windows xp is under the options, but it wont boot to it [02:57] i know it still exist, as im able to mount it in ubuntu [02:58] Jeaton: What happens when you try and boot to it? [02:58] binarymutant: it occurred to me that you may find this useful if you plan to use either keyjnote or the fork, accentuate. This link is a pdf that explains some of the features and keyboard shortcuts. i didn't see any documentation on the accentuate page. http://demo.openprocess.jp/Sample%20PDF/demo.pdf enjoy. [02:58] hello [02:58] it goes to a black screen and i see something blinking in the top left corner [02:58] Hi, I want to access another harddrive on my computer ubuntu, how could I do this? [02:58] like two underscores [02:59] mroc, ty :) [02:59] !enter | Jeaton [02:59] Jeaton: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:59] I installed Ubuntu on Lenovo S10. Everything works except wireless - Ubuntu doesn't even see the card. Any suggestions [02:59] where can i get a documentation of the play command? [02:59] ? [02:59] Dominik2: man play [02:59] crimsun: man play? I don't understand what man means [02:59] Jeaton: Alright, please pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst, and theoutput of `sudo fdisk -l` [03:00] I want to write some script that will run once when I log in. How do I open a terminal and run it that one time? [03:00] colton: it should be as easy as going to Places => Computer and then double clicking on the hard drive you'd like to mount (so that you can browse the files). [03:00] Dominik2: type "man play" and you'll get the man (manual) page on the play command [03:00] when i play quicktime videos in firefox sometimes i get the error: "The playback of this movie requires a Run-length encoding decoder plugin which is not installed." can someone help me fix this? [03:00] Dominik2: if you prefer, see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/en/man1/play.html [03:00] im having an issue that i have 2 quad core intels in my server but cpuinfo only shows 1core per cpu [03:00] luigi: why aren't you letting gnome take care of mounting it for you?> [03:01] luigi: Ah, sorry. Reading further back. I see. [03:01] luigi: Okay. [03:01] Where could I find 'Places' in kubuntu? [03:01] jamesish, ok [03:01] jamesish, i'm going to try to re format this device.. [03:02] colton: in the default installation, there are three menu options on the top left of the screen called applications, places, and system. [03:02] luigi: why are you mounting by UUID? I'm lost there. [03:02] luigi: I always mount by partition. [03:02] hello [03:02] anybody? S10 + Ubuntu? [03:02] i wont that at each logon ubuntu auto mount my device! [03:02] hi [03:02] I like to mount by Label. :) [03:03] jamesish, i want that at each logon ubuntu auto mount my device! [03:03] Hello. I have a question. Why does ubunutu 8.10 does not turns off the cooler of my laptop once it has started, even If there is not any job that requieres a lot of CPU process??? [03:03] hey how get startup to automatically mount a partition on startup? [03:03] lugi then you must somehow make a proper fstab entry for the device [03:03] i try to connect my xhdd via usb [03:03] ok this is getting annoying [03:03] !cooler [03:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about cooler [03:03] this wireless problem never happened on 8.10 [03:03] millertime_018, then you must somehow make a proper fstab entry for the device [03:03] !cpu [03:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about cpu [03:03] millertime_018: read the stuff that's coming for luigi. It's all about putting an entry in /etc/fstab [03:03] i can see the New VOlume(S) but when i try access that drive, it shows me Unable to mount the selected volume [03:03] dr_willis: i was thinking about just adding it to preferences>sessions [03:04] dr_willis: won't that work? just add the correct command? [03:04] mount:unknown filesystem type ntfs-3g error: could not execute pmount [03:04] pls help!! [03:04] millertime_018, do whatever you want.. the proper way is to make a fstab entry. [03:04] Flannel: http://rafb.net/p/BoTwA686.html the fdisk -l output is on the top [03:04] ok... [03:04] !fstab [03:04] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [03:05] dr_willis: then you are still telling louigi how to do it?

[03:05] how do I gnome window urgency hint??? [03:06] LugorX: You just the window. [03:06] millertime_018, not told him how to do much yet. .. just what needs to be done.. fstab file is documented in several dozen places/wikipages/guides/tips/tutorials... also it will depend on the filesystem used [03:07] dr_willis: mine is ntfs [03:07] Jeaton: That all looks good. Is it just a black screen with a cursor? or is there text before the cursor? [03:08] millertime_018, thats documented all over also.. but one easy way - is to install/run the 'ntfs-config' utility... [03:08] !ntfs-3g [03:08] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [03:08] so i need to install that? [03:08] i believe it's just a cursor, but i can check again [03:09] dr_willis: I already have that on there... [03:09] can anyone help me with a newbie problem? I installed ubuntu side by side OS X and was using rEFIt to choose between the two installations. i accidentally deleted rEFIT and now I cant get back to my OS X partition [03:09] because im just connecting my externahl hard disk via usb to my desktop [03:09] on ubuntu but its doesnt work [03:09] dr_willis. When i opened it, it said "the following partitions were detected and can be configured: [03:09] mib: did you even *try* to look this up? [03:09] and then it had my partition [03:09] why does 8.04 have inode value of 128 and 8.10 inode value of 256?

[03:10] ill check it out now, brb [03:10] jameish: For NTFS partitons [03:10] Does anyone know how to change the download mirror in ubuntu server 8.10?

[03:11] millertime_018, try it and see.. [03:11] Dr_willis: thanx! lol [03:11] mib: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [03:11] dr_willis: and all this time! [03:11] nickrud, on a command line [03:11] techman224: edit your sources.list [03:11] techman224, edit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:11] millertime_018, i always set mountpoints for mine.. in the installer. :) [03:11] where's that [03:11] mib: and which of the instructions did you follow? [03:12] I see [03:12] Flannel: im using 6.06 [03:12] i believe i have ntfs-3g which is why the error pops up [03:12] mib: then yeah, you'll need a third party repo of ntfs-3g [03:12] dr_willis: installer? [03:12] dr_willis: what do you mean? [03:12] but what did the mount:unknown filesystem type ntfs-3g means? [03:13] why does 8.04 have inode value of 128 and 8.10 inode value of 256? [03:13] does it mean my x hdd is ntfs-3g type? [03:13] mib, hello sinner [03:13] techman224, you intending to change your ubuntu repo, or add another repo? [03:13] millertime_018, when i install ubuntu.. you can set the mountpoint for your ntfs filesystems.. [03:13] mib: It means it doesn't know what it is. You've specified a partition to be treated as ntfs-3g [03:13] tony_: Please don't do that. [03:13] nickrud, change it [03:13] Flannel, ok [03:13] so i need to install the ntfs-3g and its fine ? [03:14] mib: Yes [03:14] techman224, ok, if you were adding I was going to suggest adding a file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d , but just change the file I already gave you [03:14] Flannel: okay, it says "Starting Up..." then it sits on that cursor === Elswick is now known as main [03:14] dr_willis: ahhh i didn't know that [03:16] how can I make g-thumb my default picture viewer? === drnk-e is now known as DRNK-E === nick_ is now known as sunapi386 [03:17] can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr?

[03:18] i get it access ..do you know what or how can i retrieve the full path to the x hdd? [03:18] Jeaton: Alright, we'll try one thing, and if that doesn't work, its an issue with windows (and you'll need to run fixmbr from a windows recovery CD, then reinstall GRUB) [03:18] Once installed, where are Linux kernels stored? [03:18] i intend to write some files onto it ..is it under /media? [03:19] would anyone mind walking me through an rtorrent install? [03:19] can anyone help me with a newbie problem?

I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui [03:20] what is the exact path for these external volumne? [03:20] anyone have any idea why a server install on a dual quad core only show 1 core per cpu [03:20] is there a gui in the repo? [03:20] hey, has anyone here tried ubuntu netbook remix out on the Samsung RC-10 yet? I now it's new and all, but what's the status with regards to hardware functionality for it? [03:21] okie.got it. [03:21] under media [03:21] Jeaton: Open up your menu.lst (/boot/grub/menu.lst, you'll need to use sudo), and change the line near the bottom (under the windows thing) from "root" to "rootnoverify", I believe it's "root (hd0,0)" You'll change that to "rootnoverify (hd0,0)" [03:21] is there a command that says where the running kernel is stored? [03:22] PlaHPoy: sure its dual core? if so, maybe the dual core functionallity is disabled in bios? [03:22] its 2 quad core cpus [03:22] can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui [03:22] Peddy: ls /boot , I guess. [03:22] has anyone had any luck in setting up an up-to-date repository for FreeNX ? [03:22] tat: its a dual quad core xeon server [03:22] cat /proc/cpuinfo only shows the cpus with 1 core [03:23] jamesish: what if it isn't installed in /boot (if that's even possible), because I have a 7.10 (lol) kernel installed somewhere, and my computer randomly boots into it sometimes. [03:23] i posted boot log and info here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=985664 [03:23] in Hardy Heron, auto login and toggling between languages with keyboard shortcut could not coexist.

[03:24] i have a dell inspiron 6000 that im trying to install ubuntu on, but after the install is done and i reboot, it seems that no bootloader is pressent, i tried fedora and it dorked fine. how would i solve this ? [03:24] Peddy: I'm not gonna put too fine a point on this. If you think your system is randomly booting different kernels, you're in a world of pain. You can do stuff like fix /boot/grub/menu.lst, but something that fundamental pretty much screams to me that either someone's screwing with you or you hosed your own system. [03:24] How can i go about uninstalling or disabling the nswrapper for 32 bit flash and use the newly released adobe 64 bit version? [03:24] Hello. I installed firefox32 on my amd64 some time ago to play flash but I lost the shortcut. Anybody know where the directory is? [03:24] Peddy; THe fact is, systems don't boot random kernels.

[03:27] and i'd be very grateful [03:27] I am having a hell of a time to get the install to work. [03:27] !ask | constantin_ [03:27] constantin_: 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. :-) [03:27] anyone have any info on Ibex / FreeNX installaions ? [03:27] jamesish: it happens more often when I have removable media in. I'm pretty sure it's loading another GRUB, not the one I have right now. It's a completely ridiculous problem; I changed my password when upgrading Ubuntu, and my OLD passwords work, but my new ones don't. :/ [03:27] a samba update on the 12th somehow messed up my ability to print, but not to browse windows shares. any suggestions? [03:27] oh, the rEFIt thing. constantin_, have you tried reinstalling rEFIt? [03:28] !freenx [03:28] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [03:28] i dont know how to [03:28] Peddy: you're not loading another grub, then. I have an inkling what's happening, though. [03:28] :( [03:28] i knew how to do it in osx bc it was just a package [03:29] but now i cant get to it and havent learned how to install it in ubuntu [03:29] Peddy: it sounds like you've got an old installation of ubuntu somewhere on the same hard drive. When you're entering removable media, your computer is bringing your hard drives up in a different order. So when grub tries to find the boot loader, it's finding one on a different device than your normal default partition. [03:29] running ubuntu 810 and having trouble connecting to winxp shares. i AM on the network though. any help please? [03:29] it's a tarball on the site [03:29] EJ: I don't have links about freenx but I've used it before and loved it [03:29] can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui [03:29] constantin_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro has a bunch of info on using refit, It likely has the answer to installing from linux as well. [03:29] thank you! [03:30] Hello Everyone [03:30] Does someone knows where texmaker writes its settings to [03:30] ?? [03:30] Is there any file I can look into? [03:31] wandana: probably it's config file. Find out where that is, and you're set. [03:31] Has anyone been able to install Ubuntu 8.10 on a RAID5 system that uses the Intel ICH10R chip? [03:31] jamesish: aha, thanks. I'll have a look through my partitions. [03:31] MTecknology: yeah i think i found out what my issue was ... i wasent adding the correct version to the repository [03:31] ok [03:31] Peddy: I'm not sure what the solution is for you, is the thing. The problem isn't having two copies of ubuntu, it's that your devices are being renumbered when you leave a removable device in. [03:32] jamesish: Wow, that was quick. Indeed it is here: .config/xm1/texmaker.ini [03:32] MTecknology: yup that was it ... its installing now [03:33] jamesish: Thanks for letting me know! [03:33] EJ: congrats [03:33] wandana: you're welcome [03:33] jamesish: It's not 2 *full* copies, more like just the kernel. It can't even load properly, because glibc and the old version of gdm is missing. Do you know of a quick way to scan for multiple installs? [03:33] MTecknology: thank you ... been pulling my hair out for an hour trying to figure this out lol [03:34] EJ: idk if I did anything useful, but congrats on getting it [03:34] can someone please tell me how to add a VGA 1280x1024 setting to my display with xrandr? I have hardy and for some reason only 800x600 and 640x480 appear in my screen res gui [03:34] Peddy: Probably the *fastest* way is to boot from knoppix. [03:34] is there a way to use the cat command to see a specific line in the txt file... like cat helloWorld.txt (but i only want to see the 10th line) [03:34] Peddy: I think the ubuntu live CD can also automount volumes as it finds them,though. [03:34] MTecknology: :D its all good now :D [03:35] Does anyone know why the install for Ubuntu 8.10 on a RAID5 system that uses ICH10R does not recognize the SATA drives? [03:35] jamesish: So after I boot from the live CD, I look for /boot partitions? [03:35] Ububegin: cat -n | grep 10 would do for a short file. Otherwise, read the man page for more options. Also look at grep, head and tail. [03:36] Peddy: I'm not sure. You'll have to investigate. Sounds like a good start, but I don't think that's really the core issue. The real core issue is that your devices are being renumbered. === qbmaniac is now known as qb|away [03:36] when a command says create a textfile ~/.xmodmap [03:36] the ~ is the username level or what level?

I am trying to put it on a compaq that was given to me.. [03:37] It installed fine but now that it is installed it just boots to a brown screen with a mouse arrow [03:37] jamesish: hi.. grep will search through the text ..not show the specific line... [03:37] any Ideas? [03:38] jamesish: Grub reads the renumbered (false) partitions then, correct? So the renumbering is an OS-level issue? [03:38] Ububegin: You know nothing of the majesty of grep. [03:38] Does anyone know why the install for Ubuntu 8.10 on a RAID5 system that uses ICH10R does not recognize the SATA drives?

[03:39] I'm not arguing, just asking :P [03:40] Peddy: no, they're hardware level. [03:40] no they aren't. [03:40] JasonF apt-get dist-upgrade ? [03:40] they are a totally OS thing [03:40] Peddy: GRUB talks in numbers (hd0,1), etc. That's all given to GRUB from the BIOS [03:40] held in the first 512 bytes if a HDD [03:40] hello. does anyone know how to add a 1280x1024VGA setting to my display using xrandr? [03:40] So they're recorded in the hardware, JasonF?

How can I trigger the "Default Action", for example, pressing the "Yes", "Confirm", etc..? [03:41] It is sometime really annoying when you lose the default action focus [03:41] nickrud: where is that file? [03:41] jamesish: oh sorry... k, i will read up on grep again... thanks [03:41] JasonF: I think they're one of those funny things: there's bits of both in there, obviously there has to be an interpretation, but there's also information contained in the hardware. They're not *burned into* the hardware or anything, but the information is recorded there. [03:41] ubottu: those instructions require a gui installed [03:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:41] JasonF, what file? [03:41] nickrud: do-release-upgrade [03:41] JasonF: no they don't [03:42] JasonF, just run it [03:42] Flannel: I meant renumbering, is the BIOS renumbering the *partitions*? [03:42] JasonF: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Servers%20(Recommended) [03:42] Ububegin: You can chain two greps; one can be a grep with a regex to match every line and the -n flag which outputs line numbers, the second command then matches the line number.

[04:08] ubuntu810noob: I changed my settings back to native sata drivers.... then it saw all three drives..... then i setup the software raid 5 during the ubuntu install [04:09] Fenix|home: set the encoding on both sides to UTF-8 [04:09] apeiron: yes there are.. it takes a while to configure, but after your done, i'm sure you'll like compiz [04:09] anyway, i'd ask why the hell compiz is set on by default [04:09] cchapman: cool. I will try that. THanks for your help. [04:09] i'd stay clear of too much eye candy though, it gets distracting [04:09] eliasp_, ok, my ssh client is using utf-8 [04:09] philippe, http://paste.ubuntu.com/73659/ [04:09] how can i do something in the command line like, execute the following command after 'x' minutes [04:09] ubuntu810noob: not a problem [04:09] what do I need to do to ensure ubuntu is purely utf-8? [04:09] Can anyone please tell me what the relatime option in fstab is for? [04:09] panfist: to do something at the command line, type it in. [04:09] panfist: then hit enter. [04:09] well guys, serious question, any serious english dictionary for ubuntu? [04:09] i need the either apache2-threaded-dev or apache2-prefork-dev, but im not sure which or how im supposed to know which to pick. anyone have ideas? [04:10] JonathanEllis-> man fstab maybe it has an explanation? [04:10] panfist: man at [04:10] kemalist: you know you can search for packages in synaptic, or with apt-cache search , right? [04:10] Can anybody help me diagnose why Ubuntu does not pick up my flash drive?? [04:10] musikgoat perfect [04:10] JonathanEllis, Google is your friend and so are MAN pages... but for the lazy... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [04:11] tritium, i couldn't find any dictionary but dict, and i need something with a GUI, any advice is welcome [04:11] hell-o === DRNK-E is now known as DRNK-Eway [04:11] kemalist: Applications -> Accessories -> Dictionary doesn't work for your neesd? [04:11] needs* [04:11] tritium, it's creepy [04:11] nsteinme, I take a look [04:11] when ubuntu refers to a software channel [04:11] what does that mean [04:11] i wanted to ask, if i may, for something *more advanced [04:11] "a later version is available in a software channel" [04:12] constantin_: its a repository [04:12] philippe, thanks [04:12] kemalist: no idea what you mean by that [04:12] !repository [04:12] Roasted: i can try [04:12] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [04:12] Anyone get mplayer vdpau playing mkv x264 files? [04:12] cchap - I'd love any help you can give me... let me type out what's up... [04:12] tritium, most of the database is out of date [04:12] I was wonderin if anyone could walk me through getting flash to work in konqueror [04:12] and referring to a very old english [04:12] was that to me ubottu? [04:12] constantin_: yes [04:12] hey musikgoat how goes it? [04:12] Fenix|home and n8tuser: Thanks. I already googled but sometimes if you dont know exactly what the search term should be one wades through loads of stuff that doesnt really help. I must confess I forgot about man fstab :blush: [04:12] thanks anyway tritium [04:13] Can the Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Live CD be run on a computer without a hard drive? If so, how? [04:13] its ok, and you? [04:13] meh [04:13] cchapman - My flash drive works in my XP laptop and Vista desktop. My Vista Desktop also dual boots Ubuntu. So by the flash drive working in Vista, it's obvious it's not a hardware issue. In Ubuntu, Ubuntu recognizes my usb wireless, usb mouse, and usb printer... so my USB ports work fine in Ubuntu. But Ubuntu doesn't recognize my flash drive. sudo fdisk -l, gparted, and sudo modprobe usb-storage yield nothing. [04:13] kemalist: so, you're saying you searched? [04:13] JonathanEllis-> if not in man fstab, perhaps man mount [04:13] (meh was just added to the dictionary today btw) [04:13] Roasted: have you looked at dmesg [04:13] i did tritium, but well, synaptics has got so many packages that it's getting confusing [04:14] n8tuser, man fstab works too [04:14] see if it sees the insertion of it [04:14] My problem is that the Live CD doesn't seem to boot on my HD less laptop. Any reason why? [04:14] yes, theonly thing I notice is my usb printer. I dont notice anything... different... that would signify my flash drive [04:14] let me try... [04:14] so, with all the due respect for apt. i was looking for something more "human" for an advice [04:14] Michael: how much ram you got? [04:14] how can i install kde4 in ubuntu 8.10 while offline ? [04:14] n8tuser: Thanks. Fenix|home: Meh sounds like something Melchet from Black Adder would say! [04:14] It ran Ubuntu 7 fine [04:14] cchapman - is there anything in particular I am looking for in dmesg? It's a wholllllllle list of stuff... [04:15] I have 700 ish megs of ram [04:15] try this [04:15] i have free the ram [04:15] Roasted: tail -f /var/log/dmesg [04:15] got back 3gb [04:15] Roasted: and insert and remove your flash drive [04:15] dmesg | tail [04:16] hey musikgoat is converting ubuntu to utf-8 as simple as installing locale and localeconf? [04:16] so wait... flash drive unplugged... dmesg tail... then plug it in? [04:16] Roasted: doesnt matter [04:16] Fenix|home: [04:16] I have konqueror-nsplugins installed, flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.12.36ubuntu1, but still it doesnt work [04:16] Roasted, probably do a dmesg before and after, see what changes. [04:16] ^^yes [04:16] IMHO [04:17] Roasted, personally I like watch -n 1 dmesg [04:17] you don't have to run the tail over and over again as that command updates every second [04:17] Roasted: tail -f /var/log/dmesg will auto output anything new to dmesg on your screen [04:17] I heard Ubuntu kills laptops. Any precautions that I should take? === ivanoats is now known as ivanoats|away [04:18] why would it kill your laptop? [04:18] I added /etc /fstab in order to view my NTFS partition and removed the Floppy entries in fstab. Now my usb drive wont mount nor can I see it when I run the sudo fdisk -l command in terminal. Can someone please help me? [04:18] Michael using laptops kills laptops [04:18] Michael, anything to do with the load cycles on the hdd? i think you need to disable powersave somehow [04:18] for the hdd [04:18] Can someone tell me where the hell the download button is on this page? `uname -r` | grep snd [04:18] Oops [04:18] Edited not Added [04:18] Yeah, i think thats what it was about [04:18] http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.drivers&f=422 [04:18] Michael, check with Interpol to see if Ubuntu has a record... I'm sure they'd have some hints on a serial laptop killer [04:18] cchapman - when I run that command you said, it doesn't go back to the prompt for me to type it again after I plug in my flash drive to compare what's different. [04:18] TVVCR6: language, please. We try to keep this channel family-friendly. [04:19] Roasted: thats becaused the file is open and any changes are written directly to your screen [04:19] so, open another terminal? [04:19] or keep it open and plug in the drive and see waht changes? [04:19] \q [04:19] tritium: sorry [04:19] Michael, but seriously... check http://www.linux-laptop.net/ and see if your laptop and Ubuntu are there... these are reports others with your hardware have made with the success or failure of various linux distros... [04:19] Roasted: plugin and remove and see what changes [04:19] 's gtkrc file over to my current theme, but the scrollbars have not changed. [04:19] tritium: didn't think it was a bad word [04:20] Has anyone ever modified gnome's themes? I want to se the color of scrollbars to the "color of selected item" (just like "Glossy" theme does it) but I can't find how to do that: I even copied glossy's gtkrc file over to my current theme, but the scrollbars have not changed. [04:20] Michael, i believe that you can set the powersave mode with hdparm.. [04:20] So it seems that relatime is now a default option for linux filesystems. In that case, is there any point in specifying it explicitly in fstab? === ivanoats|away is now known as ivanoats [04:20] I ran the command, plugged it in, counted to 10, unplugged... nothing changed. [04:20] mind you, this is anecdotal, although im about to test it with the new harddrive i just got for my macbook. [04:20] TVVCR6: i didn't see any bad words either [04:20] wiggles [04:21] TVVCR6: oops? maybe, heh [04:21] musikgoat, since localeconf no longer seems to be a package in intrepid... how do I configure? [04:21] utf8-migration-tool? [04:21] lol [04:21] Hi [04:21] seriously, no one's tried to get the new nvidia video decode acceleration working? [04:21] What does it mean when you're loading the live cd and the bar stops moving? [04:22] Fenix|home: i know its locale-gen but i don't remembre the syntax [04:22] I'm trying to install ubuntu 6.06 on a server but it cannot detect the CDROM [04:22] any tips? [04:22] Michael, now that issue im not sure about :) [04:22] franck: load windows.. [04:22] :( [04:22] Maybe its the CD drive [04:22] Fenix|home: locale-gen [options] [locale] [language] [04:22] I'll try my other [04:22] it is a sata cdrom [04:22] Roasted: my bad [04:22] guess not :( [04:22] musikgoat, so ubuntu sets the default locale to POSIX? [04:22] wow [04:22] Roasted: tail -f /var/log/messages [04:22] (at least ubuntu server) [04:22] Michael, sometimes it means that the drivers it's trying to load can't be loaded.. try some of the different boot options using f4 at the boot prompt [04:22] Michael, does it sound like the drive is going over and over? (does the disc have dirt/scratches on it at all?) [04:23] sorta [04:23] wait its moving again [04:23] ooh [04:23] i guess its working [04:23] Hi, I've got a box that won't boot because of file system errors. At boot, it says I need to run fsck manually. Problem is, I'm not sure how. Any help? [04:23] you may have a slightly errored disc, but if its still going, good :) [04:23] put in a live cd [04:23] Can ubuntu fit onto a 2 gig flash drive?

[04:24] sFEARs: How do you access recover mode? [04:24] musikgoat, locale-gen shows I already have two utf8 locales... I guess all I need to do is change the locale settings [04:24] actually,, follow the other's instructions if you can get into recover mode [04:24] Roasted: did it tell you it connected to something like sdb [04:24] Michael: tbh, i don't remember for install, you may be able to pull it off [04:24] Michael: you can create a USB with a persistent home directory in under 1 GB. [04:24] SCORE! [04:25] ^^thanks tritium [04:25] Roasted: or sdb1 [04:25] Michael, i dont see why you couldnt install straight there, however, there will probably be a few caveats.. ive not tried it yet [04:25] ghindo at the boot menu.. press escape a couple of times when you first start your computer.. it should give you a grub boot menu in which will be a recovery mode option [04:25] cchapman - I don't see anything like that...

[04:30] Roasted: goto http://paste.ubuntu.com and past your output from your tail -f /var/log/messages [04:30] ipid: see if you can play with the Bios settings to get it to work. Esp powersave and hyperthreading if it has it.l modes [04:31] Dawson: change your download server [04:31] matthias_: no, not too particularly.. youtube is flash.. do you ahve similar problems with other flash based sites? [04:31] musikgoat, how? [04:31] Dawson: system -> admin -> software sources [04:32] Musikgoat: With you so far, where from here? [04:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/73673/ [04:32] tritium, okey, thank you.. [04:32] Shinj1EVA: yes ... [04:32] Dawson: download from -> pick a server near you, or you can try running the test [04:32] cchapman - http://paste.ubuntu.com/73673/ [04:32] matthias_: are you using 64bit linux w/ nspluginwrapper for the flash plugin? i mean it should work either way.. just wondering.. [04:32] RHorse: It was working well with ubuntu 8.04 but now with 8.10 it has this problem [04:33] Dawson: i've found that near me cs.umn.edu is fast for me, even though some of are more local to me (in chicago) [04:33] are there any adesso cyber tablet 6400 success stories out there with using pressure? [04:33] Musikgoat: Huh, I'm finding the same thing. Any idea why? [04:33] Dawson, have you tried the kernel.org mirror? they seem to be rather fast for me [04:33] Dawson: what do you mean? [04:33] hum. I start Software Sources but I don't see "Download from". [04:34] under the ubuntu software tab [04:34] Can someone help me download the 1010LT drivers for linux?

[04:34] :-) [04:34] imo, stable is an opinion, its stable for me :-) [04:34] Are they selling Ubuntu at Best Buy yet? [04:35] it was stable enough to release :-) [04:35] MikeHbuntu: I'm in Canada, will kernel.org still work for me? Musikgoat: Is the server speed based entirely on geographical proximity? [04:35] Shinj1EVA: 32 bit should notaffect due tu it is just an firewall ... [04:35] Is it on http://www.opensound.com ? [04:35] I remember back in the day when office supply stores sold Linux. [04:35] Dawson: that, and the upload capability of the server, and the demand [04:35] Dawson, yes, and yes, sort of. yes it will work for you fine. its a north american mirror, in california. [04:35] RHorse: I have just installed it yesterday, it seems so [04:35] cchapman - did you get my pastebin? [04:36] and the capacity of the server, as musikgoat mentioned, is definitely a factor. kernel.org has multiple gigabits. [04:36] Roasted: ya. thats is strange [04:36] ipid: with Ubuntu one must adapt the hw to the sw more than with more ubiquitous OS's [04:36] Dawson, try running 'mtr mirrors.kernel.org' from a terminal [04:36] cchapman - I didn't change anything in my system... that's what's really weird. [04:36] Musikgoat; MikeHbuntu, thank you so much for your help. Hopefully this will work. :-) Have a good one folks. :-D [04:36] It (honestly) just randomly happened.

I was on a server from Toronto and it was giving me problems; but I'm thinking this will work. 'mtr mirrors.kernel.org', right? [04:38] Dawson: try us uni's near that providence, and kernel.org.... try running the select the best server test too [04:38] no, nothing that's storage. I just have my wireless adapter. [04:38] but let me ask my borther, he may have a flash drive [04:38] Dawson, yes, that will run a full-screen traceroute program [04:38] between you and the server [04:38] Roasted: ok [04:38] #ubuntu [04:38] MikeHBuntu: Ah, makes sense. [04:39] MikeHBuntu, Musikgoat, thank you both so much. :-D [04:39] not a problem :) [04:39] sure :-) [04:39] cchapman - no go, he lost his.

He gave me some command with var/log/messages, or something like that. It responded when I plugged in the flash drive... so my system was aware of SOMETHING being present.

[05:26] Randall1, through synaptic [05:26] slimjimflim - I'm going to boot to a LiveCD and see if it responds on a LiveCD. Thank you for your help. [05:26] drakeman: no, its pretty easy to add a modeline from the examples given, so long as its using the driver you need for accelerated X for your card [05:26] paul68-> correct, so you dont need it, but in case you add devices on that subnet [05:26] any ideas as to why emerald theme manager keeps locking up? [05:26] Why I cannot get package index of repository? If I cannot, I cannot install package, right? [05:26] demonspork: which one would it be [05:27] i know how to create a shared screen session, I just need to create an alias, and this is what I have tried to no avail alias screen='screen -S share-test && CTRL-A :multiuser on CTRL-A :acladd root' [05:27] Randall1, I think it is nvidia-glx-legacy [05:27] codesmith: again, did you configure it properly in /etc/apt/sources.list ? [05:27] paul68-> also we have configured your linksys as dhcp client, so a dhcp server has to give it an ip address [05:27] Randall1, I am not sure, it has been a while since I messed with my box that has an MX 440 in it [05:27] populas: maybe in /etc/screenrc?

[05:30] I just need a user to be able to enter an alias, that sets the screen session to shared, so at any given time an admin can log in and help them with their commands [05:30] heliedgar: octave is like matlab -- not likely what you're looking for. What do you need to do? [05:30] paul68-> take notes on what i pasted so far..am not going to repeat them, scroll back if you have to [05:30] what's the next step?

[05:32] any ideas as to why emerald theme manager keeps locking up? [05:32] demonspork: well apparently nvidia-glx-legacy doesn't exist or has been obsoleted, and when i use the driver enabling tool it tells me it boots to low-graphics mode [05:32] Randall1, if that doesn't work you can try installing the driver manually from the nvidia website (not a super-easy process) or find someone else to help you [05:32] ardantus ytalk or wall maybe?

[05:42] Conexion: who cares as long as you know how to use it i say ;) [05:42] Thanks both tritium and oly562 :) [05:42] :D [05:43] drakeman: chances are, your setup isn't showing the options for resolutions. also, doesn't ubuntu come with a tool to adjust resolutions? tried ctrl-alt-+/- combo to bump the res? [05:43] n8tuser: but at this stage already figured out that dhcp is useless on the linksys so I'm not a complete lost case right ;-) [05:43] Conexion: would have been much cooler to name it after sulu [05:43] How come fonts in linux always look like crap. I mean some of them don't look bad but fonts like on web pages are usually to small or if I try playing a game the fonts are crappy/pixely/distorted?

[05:43] so ive read a few issues with flash on ubuntu. before i install anything, whats is the going tip? [05:44] they don't look the same as they do if I'm say running vista [05:44] I'd just like to announce that the sound the ubuntu installer made after copying files scared the crap out of me. [05:44] SeaOfTea: linux > windoze [05:44] they are not as smooth [05:44] Is there an advantage to logging in as a user when you're configuring a lot of things versus logging in as root? [05:44] I agree ubuntu beats the pants of vista in every way [05:44] except with fonts [05:44] paul68-> nope, you still need the dhcp to serve ip address to the linksys wan port [05:44] troubled: yeah i already tried the reconfigure option, and with ctrl +/- no luck [05:44] Conexion: save time from running sudo for everything at the CLI === ivanoats is now known as ivanoats|away [05:45] Conexion, troubled: just use "sudo -i", then [05:45] fonts are really clear on vista or xp for that matter [05:45] drakeman: go google up an example x config and copy paste some extra resolution definitions perhaps [05:45] n8tuser: and this with an average of 8 hours sleep in 3 days [05:45] zoople-> squared away now? === Guest98303 is now known as Sinister [05:45] drakeman: thats rather old school though. surely ubuntu has a tool to do this for you [05:45] oh i gave up on the lan thing lol [05:45] is there like a cleartype or whatever for ubuntu?

I see... [05:46] troubled: hope i got luck [05:46] drakeman: cya and gl [05:47] thanks for all troubled [05:47] see you [05:47] oh tritium sorry, its not like that, i just stayed up last night tryin to fix it and im over it [05:47] hello, just wondering if it is a good idea to upgrade to 8.10 at this time, is it as buggy as 8.04 was in the first month? [05:47] i appreciate your guys help really [05:47] paul68-> you can be as exotic as you want to be, once you understand networking [05:47] zoople: ok [05:47] hi again.. [05:47] Yeah I've played around with those forever, but I still can't get all the fonts to look good. It's wierd. I should take some screen shots to show you [05:47] can anybody help me with a blank logon and desktop screen ... only thing that shows is the cursor but no desktop [05:47] how does someone go about submitting bug reports for ibex? === ivanoats|away is now known as ivanoats [05:48] zoople-> oh come on, what is one more night without sleep? hehe [05:48] djhash: reportbug ?

[05:48] (hardy, CX6400 scanner) [05:48] djhash: thats the debian way, not sure what ubuntu uses for sure though [05:49] VanessaE-> look in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-permissions.rule [05:49] Hi all. [05:49] djhash: worst case, get yourself to the bug page for ubuntu via the web [05:49] n8tuser: I get your point, but as you very well know all this tutorials are in plain english, and since it's for a noob like me heavy material it would have been a lot easier when using my native language, (imagining you need to study something in dutch ;-)) [05:49] Where do I report problems with pkg-config? [05:49] n8tuser, no such file. [05:49] Are there any good guides out there for those converting from Windows to Ubuntu? I've been using Ubuntu for pretty good time now, but I just don't feel I do things as fast as I can in windows, and that bothers me [05:49] maybe 40-permissions.rules ? [05:50] Conexion: maybe be better to ask for help on a particular area? [05:50] paul68-> i can emphatize with you.. === Guest27691 is now known as Sinister [05:50] VanessaE-> look in /etc/udev/rules.d/ for something with permission [05:50] Does anyone know any VM's that support multi core on the guest OS? === Sinister is now known as Guest68566 [05:51] VanessaE-> maybe it is 40-* [05:51] Niriven, not for free [05:51] is there a way to make sure apt never installs a certain package, but tell it its dependencies are met? [05:51] troubled: I think it is mostly understanding individual programs and the more advanced CLI stuff [05:51] demonspork: Well i know of one free one, openvz i think supports it but its linux host only [05:52] just did a new 8.10 install and I network manager is listing each of my NIC's twice. [05:52] anyone seen this? [05:52] I see a few lines in here that mention "scanner" but nothing that sets permissions. The closest I can find is 025_libsane-extras.rules but it is specifying the permissions of the device correctly [05:52] Conexion: usually the man pages are good for figureing out what a specific binary does. apropos command is handy as well. CLI stuff you probbaly want to spend a night and read the manual that is bash man page :) [05:53] all of the device entries under /dev/bus/usb/*/* are owned by root, group root. [05:53] * VanessaE <-- confused. [05:53] trium, are you here?

[05:54] codesmith: did you update the package list? [05:54] remote: Well, I guess I don't want just the list of commands to copy, I want to know what the commands specifically do [05:54] from file /etc/udev/rules.d/025_libsane-extras.rules: SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0805", MODE="0664", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" [05:54] statim: there is a command that can satisfy the dependency of something specific. you could also try set the status of something to "hold" and force an install perhaps [05:54] n8tuser: ok I am going back to the tutorial stuff and leave you in peace for now, if you could figure out a way in order for me to still use my dhcp and bind I will be very thankfull and gratefull > given my self till friday to solve this mess before the old config is getting back in ;-) [05:55] no, [05:55] Conexion: then type man and rtfm [05:55] codesmith: there's your problem.

Now on my own system, if I try to ssh from my root account, it automiatically adds any new host dsa keys to known_hosts at /root/.ssh/ but on any other normal user, it still asks me to accept or reject host dsa key before t gets added to known_hosts, [06:00] Ok I figured out the main thing that sucks about the fonts they are too close together.

[06:03] SeaOfTea: also, are you using ttf font paths in your x config? perhaps the fonts it wants arent available === coldboot|home is now known as coldboot [06:03] might there be a user specific ssh config that is overriding the global config in some way? [06:04] SeaOfTea: sorry I can't offer much other advice, I dont use X hardly ever, im CLI :) [06:04] error404notfound: yes i understand what your problem is thanks [06:04] hi, I've tried installing ubuntu desktop 8.04 and 8.10 on a C3 processor and it hang during installation.. [06:04] has anyone tried it? [06:04] Would anyone know why XScreensaver no longer turns off the screens, but `xset dpms force off` works fine? [06:05] I accidentally closed the terminal while it was downloading packages, and now that I'm trying to use it again, it says "Unable to get exclusive lock." What should I do so that I can use aptitude again? [06:05] error404notfound: did you use ssh -v do enable debuging output? [06:05] does 8.4 or 8.10 still support C3 processor? [06:05] remote: no, I tried creating a brand new user and trying to ssh from him, same with everyone else except root, and root has just known-hosts in /root.ssh/, no user specific configs there [06:05] you should use it on root, then compare with your user's ssh -v debug output [06:05] coldboot: no option for dpms in any of the screensaver/monitor settings? [06:05] troubled: hmm... i cant figure out how to add a "hold"... google talks about apt-get hold, but that isnt valid on my apt-get. any ideas? === Guest27852 is now known as Sinister [06:05] statim: i use: echo "pkgname hold" | dpkg --set-selections [06:05] error404notfound: paste the output of working ssh -v === Sinister is now known as Guest28915 [06:06] Oh, stupid xscreensaver was uninstalled.

I accidentally closed the terminal while it was downloading packages. What do I do? [06:08] remote: http://pastebin.com/m6577dc19 [06:09] error404notfound: i'd like to question the reason why you want to accept ssh keys blindly as well, you know that's not very good now do you? [06:09] remote: but I want to, because all systems are in a DMZ, plus located right next to me, so I can manually verify DSA keys if required.

[07:46] Burt: System -> Preferences -> Power Management [07:46] Omitt: but there are so many communities! [07:46] troubled, Hmmm... is that a command? ^^;; what is DPMS? [07:46] constantin_: can you access the bios ? [07:46] i wouldnt know how to if i wanted to [07:46] jj_galvez, It was the clams virus scanner virus I believe. [07:47] Burt: simple terms, DPMS = screen blank at hardware level [07:47] once more [07:47] I can't be sure because I stopped being able to download updates before I could figure out how to unpack another bit of software to look [07:47] my drive fails to mount, its an ext3 partition, but gparted reports it as fat16. how do i fix this, or is the drive toast? [07:47] Jordan_U, yes I know, but my program prevents power management so the screen will not turn off after 11 mins [07:47] constantin_: It basically turns your laptop into a firewire drive [07:47] constantin_: how did you get the mac to boot the ubuntu install cd ? [07:47] Omitt: Clams is virus scanning software is there really a virus called that? how did you detect it? [07:47] Burt: someone earlier mentioned: xset dpms force off [07:47] constantin_, either c, t, or option work on Mac computers; if they do not for you then it is a serious hardware problem [07:47] i had rEFIt on then [07:48] Burt: What program, how does it prevent power management? [07:48] Good experience though. I have my files, and I'm much wiser to key loggers being turned on every five seconds. lol [07:48] constantin_: refit doesn't boot the cd for you though does it ? [07:48] actually it does [07:48] well i dont think its refit [07:48] i screwed up ubuntu too though [07:48] and i was able to reinstall it [07:48] constantin_: can you boot ubuntu ? [07:48] using the live cd [07:48] yea im in it now [07:49] constantin_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:49] constantin_, you are ubuntu with the mac right now? then paste.ubuntu.com with lspci [07:49] troubled, Cool! Ran xset --help and saw what it does. Thank you very much! [07:49] constantin_: How did you boot the livecd? [07:49] Jordan_U, Transmission? [07:49] Burt: np, thank coldboot for that one :) [07:49] it booted automatically when it was in [07:49] but it spits out my os x cd [07:49] maybe i screwed with the swap partition for it or something [07:49] constantin_: pastebin lspci into a passtebin please [07:50] !pastebin | constantin_ [07:50] constantin_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:50] okay so what do you want me to do exactly with pastebin [07:50] ikonia: see notice window :) [07:50] constantin_: put the output of the lspci command [07:50] ok [07:51] paste.ubuntu.com with the terminal command lspci constantin_ [07:51] constantin_, and then give us the url [07:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/73732/ [07:53] I made these edits with "vi" and idk how to save it :( === Chrizz_ is now known as |Chrizz [07:53] to a file [07:53] :wq [07:53] how do you do that though? [07:53] or :w /path/to/filename [07:53] like press :wq? [07:53] how do you get it so you can type? [07:53] ya, soon as you hit :, it starts a command mode [07:53] w means write, q means quit [07:54] hit "i" to get into type mode or "insert" mode [07:54] troubled it writes : instead [07:54] o ok === |Chrizz is now known as |Chrizz| [07:54] pressing insert does REPLACE or INSERT [07:54] when you are ready to go back to command mode, hit esc once [07:54] ahh [07:54] i got it [07:54] thx [07:54] that works too. but dont use replace mode as it overwrites existing text [07:54] np [07:54] troubled: this is one of the latest macbooks yes ? [07:55] constantin_, is this a macbook air? [07:55] ikonia: well, i dont recognize any of the model names, so Im guessing mac.

[07:58] How can I completely clear the local cache of evolution? [07:58] hmm i wonder if having ubuntu on my mac voids any warranty [07:58] hi [07:58] hi all [07:58] Hey why wouldn't a process run ?

[07:58] what is the switch to tell genisoimage not to truncate filenames? [07:58] let's say i get a virtual server to host my sites: how do i manage email? [07:59] i'll mess around a bit more [07:59] constantin_: no [07:59] Styles: try strace it? [07:59] i have a coupel dozen addresses spread around 10 or so domains, and many are the same username (ie. inof@) [07:59] *info@ [07:59] fist it. [07:59] do you help with program "replacements" like gimp for photoshop? or is this Ubuntu only questions? [07:59] A quick question is there a space in the proper 'chainloader +1' ? [07:59] Polysics: use what ever you want, multiple email client accounts, domain forwarding to a single account etc etc [07:59] or just chainloader+1 ? [08:00] i don't really care about having a "pretty" interface [08:00] troubled strace? O.0 [08:00] what? [08:00] haha [08:00] ikonia, what am i googling for? :-) [08:00] i'd like something like "virtual" addresses [08:00] ok with k3b do I really have to change the mp3 to wav before bburn? or will it burn mp3 and I am missing a codec or something [08:00] how listen this link ? http://www.yayinonline.com/asx/radyoplayer.asp?rd=alemfm [08:00] Styles: should give you an idea of what its trying to do, and possibly why its failing if the program isnt giving you any verbosity/debug output [08:00] i'm install vlc [08:00] troubled it saids exec: Exec format error [08:00] oh, and another thing: do i need/it is better to run my own DNS? [08:01] what is a good replacement program for Rosetta Stone? [08:01] mustinet_: did it work? try: vlc http://....../ [08:01] Polysics: do you have a question or are you just talking [08:01] Is it possible to have gvfs shares mounted automatically on login? I mean, without hacking my passwords to /etc/fstab ? [08:01] Styles: try: file /path/to/file [08:01] bluebuntu, if you need gimp help I can try, if you want to PM me. [08:01] ikonia, both are questions :-) [08:01] troubled ahh the file was croupt for some reason :P [08:01] no I need a language learning program like Rosetta Stone [08:01] Styles: there ya go then ;) [08:01] i've never managed mail or DNS [08:02] Polysics: so what is your questions ? [08:02] I know Gimp I use it in Windows at work moreso than Photoshop anymore [08:02] bluebuntu, install rosetta stone under ubuntu using WINE? [08:02] wine crashes out when I get to a certain point [08:02] ikonia, 1) what am i looking for if i say that i need a mail server with virtual mailbox server? [08:02] Polysics: i would advise against your own DNS unless its internally only [08:02] troubled: not playing in vlc this link [08:02] when I get to writing comprehension [08:02] might want to take up that error in the WINE channel then. [08:02] it just dies [08:02] i try netrwork open and paste link [08:02] mustinet_: its a WMV file I assume? [08:02] 2) do i need my own DNS on that machine or can i use the domain provider's? [08:03] Any suggestions for my wifi issue? [08:03] Polysics: you want a virtual mail service intergrated into a mail server such as postfix or exim, a virtual service suh as vexim, or postfixadmin would work [08:03] i think my display dont have any driver.what should i do???? [08:03] Polysics: use the providers if they provide that service [08:03] ahh ty so there is no Linux program supplement for learning a language? [08:03] baschtwork, //server/share /mnt/share fshere credentials=/root/.share 0 1 [08:03] Polysics: use the domain providers, dns is not to be messed with and if you running this on a home connection don't even look at it [08:03] :s [08:03] ikonia, it's going to be a Linode VPS [08:03] question about the new networkmanager applet, it was not showing so I googled and it was recommended that I delete the contents of my interfaces file, which I did. However now I don't get an internet connection untill I actually log into the GUI. [08:03] Polysics: use your isps [08:03] I should make a FOSS language learning program and ask everyone who knows their native language to chip in [08:03] Polysics: they will run them better than you [08:04] for mail server, i will google postfix + postfixadmin - thanks, i just needed to know WHAT i was looking for :-) [08:04] i'll also ask in #postfix [08:04] #ubuntu-cn [08:04] Kartagis: yep, I thought about it - but I need it on a workstation thats authenticating against an active directory, so every user needs his personal shares - I don't want to hack that into the fstab on 8 computers. ;) [08:05] actually I am going to make it since it doesn't yet exist since wine has issues [08:05] baschtwork: btw, pam can do stuff like auto mount shares on login [08:05] mcrypt < file > file.enc?

[08:16] I was wondering if anyone knows a considerable amount about viruses. I'm rather tempted to try to do an install from my hard drive rather than digging up a CD or downloading it. [08:16] Is that a risk? [08:17] troubled, do you suggest looking into the shared libraries or looking into the executable linked to the shared libraries? [08:17] Sektor: sorry, objdump heh [08:17] Sektor: or do you mean the output of ldd to see if anything is duped? [08:17] well [08:17] it's all better now [08:18] ikonia: if i use the restricted drivers, does it suppose 3D as well as 2D hardware acceleration?

[08:19] bc you have to do a 3 fingered tap to right click [08:19] Sektor: I would assum only linking st1.a once [08:19] <[c0re]> i cant change seasons.... i wanna log in to kde [08:19] really dumb configuration [08:20] I tend to use control in situations like that, but agreed, that is dumb not to give people that option.

[08:20] Sektor: gl [08:20] i'd love for ctrl click to be right click instead of this 3 finger garbage [08:21] Sektor: let me know though for future questions if you would be so kind :) [08:21] Constatin, You might almost say it's obscene.

[08:36] <[c0re]> troubled, yes i do [08:36] laku, i had to switch VLC to use OSS [08:36] <[c0re]> its worked [08:36] <[c0re]> troubled, i am on kde [08:36] I tried installing 177.82 version of nvidia, but i wish to remove it, how can i remove what i tried installing? [08:36] [c0re]: do you know if you are running kdm or gdm? Im thinking try login on the console, stop the display manager, and try "startkde" manually [08:36] kindofabuzz: Ok, I'll try that, thanks. [08:37] [c0re]: in your /etc/init.d dir, do you see a gdm and kdm or just one? [08:37] error404notfound, hmm search around on forums.mozillazine.org [08:37] how do i know what kind of nvidia driver im using? [08:37] <[c0re]> troubled, how do i do? [08:37] what is the best vnc server? I'm not too concerned about security i'm trying to use it on my intranet and i'm behind NAT and a decent firewall. I just want my desktop how i see it now on another machine on the network [08:37] [c0re]: just seems like you are missing some xauth stuff that should have been handled properly. thinking maybe you are using gdm and it doesnt like letting kde start properly [08:38] I just got a popup balloon telling me that my batter has 49% of its original capacity. Is there a command I can run to get all sorts of gratuitous information about my laptop's battery? [08:38] [c0re]: ctrl-alt-f1 and login as a user with sudo access and then run "ls /etc/init.d/*dm" [08:38] Can someone help me? I'm trying to get wine to install from a DVD and it won't run! [08:39] d [08:39] in menu.lst in /boot/grub/ ,is it 'chainloader+1' or 'chainloader +1' to make an indirect boot ? [08:39] kindofabuzz: That didn't work either. [08:39] zezu: i like tightvnc, but there are options diff vnc stuff to run a xserver on a headless display that you can vnc to and get a login, or you can run it manually from command line etc [08:40] I'm trying to get wine to install from a DVD and it won't run! [08:40] I have an application that goes lower than my desktop, so I can't click the mouse on a bottom corner to resize it to fit my screen? [08:40] Install an app from DVD I mean. [08:40] laku, you set it to OSS in the vlc settings? did you restart vlc after? [08:40] <[c0re]> troubled, i have both [08:40] !wine [08:40] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [08:40] heist in philadelphia pm me [08:40] Yes, I Think I selected the driver. [08:40] And yes I restarted :-) [08:40] troubled, best case scenario: it connect to vnc it asks for username/pwd (for a system account) and i get my actual desktop view, with as little setup as possible [08:40] [c0re]: if you do a "ps xaf | less" which one do you see running? gdm? [08:40] hi all [08:40] winehq [08:41] Ok, ive been reading the reviews, running the LiveCD, etc. But hesitating on upgrading to 8.10.. My laptop just died, bought a new one, running Hardy off the old HD, but the hardware in the new laptop either means I compile a newer kernel and do a bunch of workarounds.. So my question, is how stable is 8.10 and what type of bugs we talking? I just need to do homework + internet + movies on it.. Suggestions, feedback?? [08:41] guys, ubuntu server 8.10 has finger server enabled by default? :o [08:41] <[c0re]> troubled, gdm [08:41] laku, i relally don't know what else, that's all i did to get sound in VLC, is your system sounds on Pulse? [08:42] zezu: well, the headless vnc is a real pita to setup for 24/7 running even after reboot, but its nice once its running since you get a normal session display manager login. but you can also run it manually in a shell on that manchine to lauch it one time [08:42] [c0re]: okay, try stop gdm with: /etc/init.d/gdm stop [08:42] kindofabuzz: How do I find that out? [08:42] [c0re]: you may see your screen flicker a moment as it switchs to tty7 and back again to kill it [08:42] laku, system > preferences > sound, that's if you're on Ghome [08:42] gnome [08:43] <[c0re]> troubled, how? [08:43] in menu.lst in /boot/grub/ ,is it 'chainloader+1' or 'chainloader +1' ? [08:43] [c0re]: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [08:43] guys, has ubuntu server 8.10 finger server enabled by default? i tested my system by nmap and 79 port is open [08:43] <[c0re]> lmao its funny troubled its runs both of them [08:43] <[c0re]> troubled, yea i did [08:43] guys, has ubuntu server 8.10 finger server enabled by default? i tested my system by nmap and 79 port is open. can I remove fingerd? [08:43] kindofabuzz: For the most part, it all is set to 'Autodetect' [08:43] <[c0re]> now? [08:43] I checked the WINE and DVD pages. There's nothing about DVD software. The icons for the exes have a little "X" on them. [08:43] zezu: try vnc4server or "apt-cache search vnc | less" [08:44] [c0re]: start kdm: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start" [08:44] yerchi:run windows dvd software under WINE [08:44] UnknownUser56: I don't know if it matters, i have about 5 spaces in mine [08:44] [c0re]: better yet, hold on that and run "startkde" first as that user to see if it starts [08:44] powertool08:heh thanks [08:44] does the ubuntu netbook remix have terminal? [08:44] laku, are you on Intrepid? figured Pulse is the default [08:44] [c0re]: if kdm has startup issues, it might get stuck in a loop for a bit [08:44] troubled, ok thanks [08:45] unknownuser56: what type of software? I'm just aiming to install software from this DVD's exe. It isn't a movie or anything. [08:45] haha [08:45] I just found that I didn't mount this 'ere disk properly [08:46] kindofabuzz: No, I'm still using 8.04. But when I tested the sounds in the sound thingie. They didn't work. But then I changed them all from 'Autodetect' to 'ALSA' and I could hear the "test sound" [08:46] I hope the files are still in /mnt/ [08:46] zezu: it takes some setup, but its well worth it imho. use the inetd option without vnc password so anyone can just connect to the vnc but gets the greeter. but that also means you need to setup your gdm/kdm/xdm to allow tcp connections from localhost, which most distros dont by default [08:46] troubled: does tightvnc come with a config file? I was messing with it earlier and neither defaults (/etc/vnc.conf & ~/.vnc/vnc.conf) exist, where can I get an example config to edit? [08:46] since I change my password, every time I sudo I have to use my old password, whats the fix for this? [08:46] zezu: just poke around in /etc/X11 for the options for for your display manager [08:46] yerchin:run the exe under WINE - there should be an option to emulate on right click [08:46] troubled, okk [08:46] kindofabuzz: But still nothing in VLC, although, I think I changed it back to ALSA. [08:46] There is but I don't have permission to use it or do anything. [08:46] powertool08: not sure about the linux tightvnc, I tried vnc4server for a headless setup [08:46] Have anybody faced with usr/include/libxml2/libxml/xmlmemory.h: No such file or directory error. Such file exists [08:47] laku, yeah i don't get the whole sound thing, on pulse i can hear the test, but on Alsa I can't even though I have sound elswhere on Alsa [08:47] http://rafb.net/p/mBAHf919.html [08:47] how can i make apt accept the local repo? [08:47] powertool08: a good way to find out is to ask dpkg for a file manifest: dpkg -L , or look in /usr/share/doc/ for a default/example conf [08:47] guys, has ubuntu server 8.10 finger server enabled by default? i tested my system by nmap and 79 port is open. can I remove fingerd? [08:47] This room needs one more person... [08:47] kindofabuzz: Ok, well thanks anyways. :-) [08:47] troubled: ok, thanks [08:48] where does MAIL command stores configuration like smtp/pop3 servers and credentials ? [08:48] zezu: come to think of it, I think kdm/gdm has a grpahical tool to allow setting that kinda option for ya (tcp etc) [08:48] laku, look in synaptic for vlc, there are several plugins yoou "may" need to install [08:49] can I write to a file like so - echo text\nline > log.txt [08:49] kindofabuzz: Ok, I'll take a look, and install everything ;-) [08:49] everything? now theres a long download :) [08:49] apt-get install *.*! ;) [08:50] * mustinet_ heist in philadelphia pm me [08:50] nathan362: which "mail" command?

In the option screen to dual boot I chose Ubuntu and after loading the splash ,the screen goes blank and I have to reboot,why does this happen ?

[09:22] Do not run fsck if the filesystem is mounte [09:22] mounted* [09:22] troubled: k, i'm running fsck right now with no options so i'll do that once it's done [09:22] kmg_: but that also means if it find a bazillion unrecoverable blocks, its gonna assume you want to recover instead of asking you for each one. but thats bad if you get them anyways [09:23] yeah [09:23] UpChuck_Norris: are you talking to me? [09:23] UpChuck_Norris: it's mounted read-only [09:24] kmg: I was talking to you, mounted read-only should be fine [09:24] guys, can I use libsafe with ubuntu-server 8.10? does it increase security? or maybe security will be compromised because libsafe is old? [09:24] kmg_: I just wasn't sure if it was mounted or not [09:24] demonspork: that's indeed a good question...:) [09:24] I installed grub and adjust menu.lst to include WinXP .

TIME [MESSAGE] [09:26] troubled: also, the overheat / emergency shutdown occured while i was installing packages for the upgrade to 8.10, so i've got that mess to look forward to once I can successfully boot =D [09:26] jimcooncat: man shutdown [09:27] he is dead [09:27] Yashy: or that :) [09:27] I have an application that goes lower than my desktop, so I can't click the mouse on a bottom corner to resize it to fit my screen?

[09:32] or does "1" do something special in ubuntu? [09:32] UnknownUser56: if you hit ctrl+alt+f1 it should drop you should see a command line, if you do, that means your monitor is configured incorrectly. [09:32] -drop [09:33] troubled, i cant find it [09:33] c0re__: sorry, can't help you with that, go explore all that is KDE menus!

[09:50] any idea how can I setup a ipv6 network with ubuntu as web,proxy,mail,dhcp,dns and etc server ;d [09:50] uh [09:51] no [09:51] digifor: contact ibm for how the certifcates are handled [09:51] kmg_: im guessing the root is ro then? [09:51] =\ [09:51] troubled: After i ran System->preferences->screen resolution, it has messed up my x server somehow [09:51] digifor: you may need to configure lotus notes to exclude or accept gmails certificates [09:51] kmg_: did you do the -p -y -f options on fsck? [09:51] troubled: im writing stuff to it right now [09:51] i just made a directory in / [09:52] erbi: were you using non free accelated drivers before or something?

[09:57] seagullman: what's the problem your trying to give [09:57] fix [09:57] fde: aye [09:57] ikonia, i am gonna reinstall windows, i figured saving and restoring my mbr would be easier than using grub [09:57] seagullman: thats easy to fix [09:57] seagullman: you don't need to backup and restore the mbr [09:57] ok,so the boot is still set up by wub ,and when I chose to boot from ubuntu after the splash scree it drops to a shell in (initramfs)> - BusyBox [09:58] ikonia, i thought backing up and restoring would be easy? [09:58] seagullman: easier to just re-apply grub to the boot sector [09:58] troubled: any ideas [09:58] ? [09:58] seagullman: 3 quick commands [09:58] fde: i could probably hack around udev and change the name though. probably just my kernel using the old convention instead of generic scsi support [09:58] troubled, is dd better than genisoimage? [09:58] updater just updated firefox and now firefox won't launch [09:58] Kartagis: for you yes, it will make a perfect iso copy [09:58] ikonia, cool, is that gonna mess with my menu.lst on my boot partition?

[09:59] ikonia, thanks for the help [09:59] seagullman: not a problem [09:59] kmg_: are you using recovery console or a boot cd that is mounting the drive somewhere else? [10:00] Kartagis: when its all done with dd, you should be able to mount it with: mount -o loop,ro /path/to/name.iso /mnt [10:00] * rkvirani is tried [10:00] tired [10:00] lol [10:01] Does Sun Microsystems provide support for ubuntu?

[10:02] UnknownUser56: what are you trying to do? [10:02] kmg_: what happens when you boot after you ran the fsck though and not recovery mode? [10:02] Kartagis: did the dd finish okay? [10:02] rkvirani:trying to simply boot from ubuntu installation [10:02] troubled: when I'm booting regularly (I removed 'splash' from my boot line) i get all these errors that say /var/run is ro fs [10:03] kmg_: but even not that you ran fsck? [10:03] kmg_: i need to see the fstab of your drive, not the one in /etc/fstab from a live cd which isnt the real fstab [10:03] troubled: when I try to boot regularly (not in recovery mode), usplash exits right after "Starting kernel log daemon..." and I get the error: Unable to open pidfile `/var/run/klogd/kmsgpipe.pid' for writing: Read-only file system [10:03] yes [10:04] kmg_: are you in the live cd right now still? [10:04] okay, i'm gonna have to transcribe it or something... i can't seem to mount my usb stick in recovery mode or from the livecd === sybarite1 is now known as sybariten [10:04] UnknownUser56: so you installed using wubi and it wont boot? [10:04] no, right now i'm booting regularly [10:04] kmg_: you need to fsck your var partition, as it may not be /dev/sda1 and need an fsck [10:04] im about to switch over to the livecd once it failes [10:05] I dont use wubi, I do a 'real' install and either shrink the windows install or in many cases overwrite it [10:05] how can I rectrict access to port 53 (named) for localhost only? [10:05] kmg_: would be better if you stay out of the recovery disk of you can. tell me if you at least get a login prompt [10:05] Nergoth: firewall (iptables) [10:06] hi, what's a good partition allocation for an 80GB hard drive for an ubuntu installation? [10:06] onats: for simplicity? a 1 or 2gig swap, and the rest for / [10:06] troubled, i think i'd like to separate home folders... [10:06] but see now i don't even think that's a separate partition, is it supposed to be? [10:06] rkvirani:yes,installed from wubi ,and it boots the livecd ( which I am on currently ) ,I then installed from inside the livecd and all was successful ,but I can't boot from ubuntu other than the livecd [10:07] onats: swap == ram*2 [10:07] onats: then cut the 80 in half and put half towards home :) [10:07] so in case i need to format the actual drive, there's a separate partition... [10:07] half half for home and root is good? [10:07] UnknownUser56: sorry dude [10:07] so that means thats about 40GB for /? [10:07] kmg_: I can't tell until I see your fstab :) [10:07] ahoy [10:07] I feel kind of stupid but I dont think I will be able to help [10:07] onats:also,10gb for / and rest for /home ,that's what I learned [10:07] ,,,,,, [10:07] troubled: oh man [10:07] troubled: now i'm successfully logged in, but everything seems to be fucked [10:07] gehen die auch fuer blei? wohl nicht? [10:07] ww [10:07] damn .. I guess I could google some more [10:07] hi guys [10:07] Im not to comfortable with the idea of booting an image files off of NTLDR (since NTLDR is not the greatest) [10:07] kmg_: you must get to a login prompt on the broken system install to be able to drop it down to init 1 and run some tests [10:07] wats up here? [10:08] troubled: i got into X [10:08] kmg_: and language... ;) [10:08] kmg_: get out of X and down to a console [10:08] clariza: i am watching myself, as i am here the first time [10:08] oh.. lol [10:08] this is my first time here [10:08] heheh [10:09] welcome [10:09] i want to post an "idea", but i want to find out, if it is there already... [10:09] UnknownUser56: only 10gb for / isn't great idea. usr can take a good 8gig some installs, and that only leaves 2gig for /var stuff like databases and logs [10:09] (ubuntu brainstorm) [10:09] are u all IT here?

[10:21] kmg_: grep var /etc/fstab [10:21] Ximal: lets look at the partition type see if it gives us a clue, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc === MadMax is now known as Guest57517 [10:22] Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table [10:22] Ximal: interesting [10:22] Ximal: blank drive? [10:22] not sure how it's mounting /dev/sdc then [10:22] for ubuntu, does anyone recommend any audio programs which will convert mp3 to cd format(wav I think) ? [10:22] nothing [10:23] i can open the drive .... and view it's contents ... [10:23] i just can't see it as a usb port [10:23] AdvoWork: you want to burn them? [10:23] kmg_: whats in your fstab? just everything under a single rootfs? [10:23] Ximal can't see it as a usb port ? [10:23] AdvoWork: then use k3b, the burning-program [10:23] Ximal: what do you mean, what are you expecting ? [10:23] my virtual box thinl's it is a cdrom drive.. [10:24] http://pastebin.com/m517d0057 , look @ line 372, because of that, instead of my display resolution being 1680, it goes to 800, how do i fix that? [10:24]  anyone had any success getting any recent usb dvb-t cards to work with linux? [10:24] i think it has something to do with me selecting system->preferences->screen resoliution [10:24] troubled: After i ran System->preferences->screen resolution, it has messed up my x server somehow [10:24] so what i'm going to do ... and hopefully it doesn't ruin my dad's device ... is back-up the files and then format the little bugger ... and then put the files on it again [10:24] and maybe it will or won't work [10:25] Guys, how do i get inside guest linux system via ssh? [10:25] hey, i got a user named me12 , this user is in group "g1" , i want to add him also to "g2" group, how can i do that? [10:26] Ximal: you know virtualbox doesn't support usb properly unless it's the paid for version [10:26] I have 80gb of free space,do I even need a /home ? [10:26] UnknownUser56: you don't need /home - it's your choice [10:26] i downloaded the proper version from sun [10:26] ikonia : well what's the benefit of having one ? [10:26] and added them to my repository supply list [10:26] help? [10:26] so I have the 2.0 plus version working.. [10:27] UnknownUser56: disk managment [10:27] erbi: sorry, no ideas. looks like you are missing any resolutions at all. but im also not sure what options nvidia may support in the driver for auto picking the best resolution for your monitor [10:27] Ximal: then join #vbox to get vbox support [10:27] good idea i suppose [10:27] Ximal: there is also support resources on the vbox site for the non-free version [10:27] i just was hoping a specific ubuntu user community had experience with it first.. [10:27] ikonia:ah 20gb for '/' along is standard then ? [10:27] thanks for the try ikonia [10:28] troubled: my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/73789/ [10:28] ok, other way. if i install guest system with "virt-install" command. On an XEN. how do i get inside this guest then? someone? :) [10:28] i just found some inconsistency in GNOME's captions. just right click the upper panel (where there are Applications, Places, System, quick launch icons, ...) and you'll see: "Add to Panel", "Delete This Panel". and then right click the Trash applet on the bottom panel. you'll see: "Remove From Panel" [10:28] UnknownUser56: or you could just pick something but use LVM. easy as pie to change your mind later and move space between partitions [10:28] see? why "to" is lowercased but "From" is uppercased? hehe. [10:29] In my NVIDIA X Server settings, under X Server information, the NVIDIA Driver version is 177.80, but under openGL/GLX Info, the OpenGL information Version is 2.1.2 NVIDIA 177.82, thus API mismatch, how do i fix this ? [10:29] !bugs [10:29] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [10:29] UnknownUser56: Your home folder is where user settings are saved for most all applications [10:29] !bugs | yao_ziyuan [10:29] yao_ziyuan: please see above [10:29] kmg_: when you type "mount", is sda1 mounted ro or rw? [10:29] i'm talking about it in #gnome. [10:30] UnknownUser56: You don't need a separate home partition, but it is not necessarily a bad idea to have one and 20 GB's should be fine for your root directory '/' [10:31] LVM! [10:31] hi. i have changed my monitor and now i see strange values in screen system settings. in addition, i see all the windows larger than they should be... what can i do ? [10:32] thanks for the help troubled & soreau .. checking lvm wikipedia page,going to see how it functions === mib_rzdhlknb is now known as dig === hikefu is now known as Hikefu [10:35] The wiki mentions that there's a chance LVM can corrupt the file system ,is it correct ? [10:36] yes, if you resize the volume and not the underlying file system [10:36] for ext2/3, that should happen automagically for you though (unless you got a brain dead debian stable that decided to break lvm this year....) [10:36] What is the executable file name of the 'Disk Mounter 2.22.2' applet for mounting and unmounting block volumes? [10:37] ah [10:37] ive ran lvm for probably 10 years now and havent lost a single volume to it [10:37] hey ikonia ... how do I enable usbfs on ubuntu ? [10:38] resizes for ext2/3 used to always call the tool to do the fs for ya (resize2fs), but on etch, i think it was broken last I checked [10:38] Anyone know if Ubuntu will offer me the new nvidia drivers (v 180) through the 'restricted drivers' application, or will I have to download those manually? [10:38] djiezes: it may do in time, not at the moment [10:39] ikonia: any idea how long? i prefer installing them through this default application. am willing to wait a little... [10:39] djiezes: why do you need the 180 ones? [10:39] djiezes: it may never off them, depends on the development roadmap [10:39] ikonia: they should solve the problem with compiz artifacts (titlebar decoration etc). [10:39] hello everybody ; give me a solution of this question when i click on install updates in update manager i got a message that i am going to install software that can't be authenticated [10:39] UnknownUser56: well, probably closer to 7 years, but still. its pretty good. Any time I need space, its just a matter of running lvresize on a volume and adding space to another one, while in single user mode [10:39] ikonia: okay thx, i will download them then. thx for the answer [10:40] what should i do? [10:40] djiezes sorry it's not what your looking for [10:40] kanhiya78, it means that you added a repo that doesn't have a key associated with it. [10:40] I think. [10:40] ikonia: no problem, it's an answer to my question :) [10:40] What repos did you add? [10:40] troubled:thanks ,I will be using it :) [10:40] we need of a software similar to winrpt, totally free software GNU General Public License [10:41] Hikefu: i do not know because i am new to linux and what to do to overcome [10:41] Pavlz: umm, so what does winrpt do? [10:41] UnknownUser56: although, i also usually install a small minimal CLI only debian in 1gig or so that I can boot to work on my main install and do lvm commands on the root fs. otherwise, init 1, is usually enough to umount my /usr, /var, /home and /tmp and move space around [10:41] 92 updates are available to me [10:42] Hikefu: now what to do? which one to install [10:42] UnknownUser56: plus, adding a new drive is cake, just make a partition (or multiple if you ever want the abiility to install another os on it) and assign each partition as a volume. you can migrate data to and from any drive if you ever need to reclaim one of the partitions [10:42] It shouldn't be a problem to update. To be certain, can you past a copy of the file /etc/apt/sources.list [10:43] kanhiya78: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-keyring ... once that's installed, it should be fine to ignore it, I doubt you even know how to add other repos ;) [10:43] kanhiya78, if you haven't added sources, simply do what fde said. [10:43] UnknownUser56: example: new 100gig drive (easy numbers), make 10x10gig partitions and add them to a volume group (say "volumes"), then if you need to install windows, you can always migrate off the first partition of the 10, kill it and make it windows [10:43] troubled: sorry, i lost connectivity there [10:43] kmg_: wb === mw6 is now known as cilegon_serang [10:44] what's the best way to manage multiple ubuntu desktops? [10:44] is there such a utility? [10:44] troubled: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [10:44] I know this probably isnt the best place to ask... [10:44] but would i be able to get some help with getting ssh over http(s) to work [10:44] Pavlz: are you going to answer my question, or do you expect us to track down that software, and figure out what it does ourselves? Many here haven't used Windows in a long time. [10:45] kmg_: hmm, so its not read only? hmm [10:45] http://www.vectorweb.it/index.php?language=en&page=prodotti&gruppo=203&prod=WinRPT [10:45] kmg_: you shouldn't be getting any read only filesystem errors. its currently rw, and you have no seperate /var [10:45] kmg_: what sort of stuff was complaining about /var? [10:46] I have tried both http://dag.wieers.com/howto/ssh-http-tunneling/ and http://www.mtu.net/~engstrom/ssh-proxy.php and they both didnt work [10:46] Pavlz: based on that, I know of nothing... see if it'll work with wine :/ [10:46] kmg_: please put df -h in the pastebin please [10:46] ikonia: was thinking that too, but it said read-only specifically [10:46] lets find out [10:46] thought permissions, but its should be root only anyways. and all his daemons should be starting as root [10:47] plus, he is in init 1 from a boot that had the problem, so it would still be ro if an error did remount ro [10:48] !iso | yerchin [10:48] yerchin, please see my private message [10:49] Hikefu: here is my output http://paste.ubuntu.com/73798/ [10:49] here are many people [10:49] everytime [10:49] Hikefu: i also installed what fde said === clariza is now known as zhai [10:50] guys.. how can i download flashplayer??

(because this one have to work) can you confirm this issue with the mmsh stream? i need this for the bug investigation... [10:50] kanhiya78, it looks like the repo you added for openoffice (to get version 3 beta I presume) is giving you the message. You can install without incident. [10:50] !net [10:50] how do i do a net install? [10:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about net [10:50] would somebody help me? [10:51] troubled: it seemed like the only errors I was getting were in /var, for instance I tried doing sudo dpkg --configure -a and it said some section of /var was read-only [10:51] zhai: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras ... it'll set you up with most everything you'll need codecs and plugins wise === Aragon^ is now known as Aragon [10:52] kmg_: whats your free space look like anyways?

[10:53] zhai: Which Flash Player would you like to use? You can find the Adobe/Macromedia version or the GTK version in the Package Manager in Ubuntu. [10:53] kmg_: hmm, you said you have a half install? [10:53] yeah [10:53] adobe... [10:53] nickh: he wants to use adobe's... I already told him to install ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:53] kmg_: try that dpkg command now in single user mode and see what it says [10:53] GTK?

[10:54] okay lemme get back into that [10:54] can i download it fde? [10:54] kanhiya78, well it is a beta and it is doubtful that there is anything you need in it that it pressing. I'd stick with OO2 personally. [10:54] or were can i download it? [10:54] zhai: what version of Ubuntu are you using? [10:54] zhai: Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type what I said :/ [10:54] i really dunno.. my prof just install it here [10:54] kanhiya78, though if you don't mind the occasional crash until the kinks are worked out, it shouldn't be a problem.

[11:13] kmg_: curious, what happens when you run: touch /var/lib/dpkg/lock [11:13] HAHAHA [11:13] _cerberus_: http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/FAQ_scotec2no_utmp.html [11:13] hello, I disabled gdm so my box starts up in console. When I login through console and before i type startx to start x server, i wish to have my wireless connection and all my network connections to run on startup. Current setting is configured so that all my network connections (network-manager) are loaded after startx is executed. [11:13] jdk1976: just don't erae any of her data ;) === skyweb1 is now known as skyweb [11:13] i can't tell you how many windows vista machines i've turned into gutsy machinies [11:13] zhai: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/8.10/release/ should probably grab the torrent if you have a client for it. [11:13] jdk1976: geeks DO use the alternate install (it's way quicker than the Live CD + GUI install thingy), and even tho Ubuntu isn't a real-geek distro, the alternate install is very popular among experienced users, so if you don't get seeders, something must be wrong with your bittorrent setp.... or more simply, you just need to let it run until it catches some seeders [11:13] how do i change it so that my wireless connection works as soon as the computer boots normally ? [11:13] r3dxp: then you need to configure wifi in /etc/network/interfaces [11:13] erbi: sorry, not sure what your problem is, so stop reapeating it to me in every channel :p [11:14] sorry [11:14] jdk1976: possibly a router issue, as well, concerning the torrent [11:14] troubled: it gives me the same "you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'" message twice, once at the beginning and once at the end of aptitude install, in the middle it goes from "Reading package lists... Done" to "Initializing package states... Done" [11:14] <_cerberus_> ActionParsnip: cheers, I'll have a look [11:14] Luke771: 8 min left on this dl [11:14] kmg_: just wondering if aptitude maybe correct itself better [11:14] kmg_: did you try that command? apt is great about telling you what is wrong....

I'm just trying to keep track of EVERY time it plays 1.mpg, 2.mpg, 3.mpg, etc. becuase I have a ton of files in a constant loop and I'd like to keep track of them in a solid way. ANy suggestions?

[11:23] r3dxp: in your interfaces file [11:23] ikonia: ya np. odd that its reporting no errors on fsck and its reporting mounted as rw atm [11:23] zhai: what is the issue?

[11:29] zhai: ugh, then just grab the regular iso file for i386 ... you might be using a version of Ubuntu that didn't have a torrent client [11:29] im debating of a "mount -o remount,ro /" and running another fsck though [11:29] !repeat @ YOSI [11:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about repeat @ yosi [11:29] well, pending the output of df [11:29] !repeat > YOSI [11:29] YOSI, please see my private message [11:29] troubled: I did mount -o remount,rw / and now it's not read-only, I ran dpkg --configure -a and it seems to be working [11:29] fde: dont worry i gave him a guide to edit the interfaces file [11:30] kmg_: hmm, well thats good. but odd that mount reported it as rw before [11:30] Anybody here is using jdownloader?? [11:30] YOSI: stop repeating... no one is using it :/ [11:30] troubled: heard once that output of "mount" command can not be trusted it is better to check "cat /proc/mounts" [11:31] Good morning folks! Recently my mplayer (ubuntu hardy) didn't produce any audio output and I reinstalled the packaged in the hope to solve the problem (it used to work just fine) with no avail. Then I used -ao esd and voila! It was all right. Isn't it supposed to use alsa? [11:31] erUSUL: ya, just thought about that [11:31] does 'apt-get install ee' work for anyone? version 8.10 - i'm getting 'E: Couldn't find package ee' [11:31] K_Dallas: no esd is allright. pulseaudio is compatible with esd [11:31] K_Dallas: its supposed to use pulseaudio ... which has esd support [11:31] !pulseaudio | K_Dallas [11:31] K_Dallas: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [11:32] erUSUL: still, the odd thing is that he ran an fsck without error, so it shouldnt have came up. and clearly it wasnt a space problem since he is using it now fine [11:32] K_Dallas: you can make that permanent in /etc/mplayer/config (I think that's where?) [11:32] troubled: its running dpkg on tons of stuff, i'm gonna switch over to x-chat because empathy is totally sucking right now and once its done ill write up my df -hi [11:32] thanks erUSUL but it used to be working fine without me fixing the -ao, now i have to set the audioout put otherwise it owuldnt work === rubix__ is now known as magic_ninja [11:32] fde, true [11:32] brb [11:32] troubled: i did not follow the issue closely... [11:33] kmg_: well, if its running, its not likely inode issue [11:33] K_Dallas: probably nothing else was occupying the devices before when you ran mplayer... [11:33] fde, I see [11:33] K_Dallas: maybe somehow the ~/.mplayer/config changed? [11:33] kinda hard to get the poor guy to go through the logs to try find the error though. especially since he cant pastebin === null is now known as Guest83643 [11:34] K_Dallas: in mine i have ao=pulse === Guest83643 is now known as kmg_ [11:34] please anyone willing to help? [11:34] erUSUL, i see. i am going to look into the config right now [11:35] YOSI: maybe if you ask a question more developed than "anyone using jdownloader"... [11:35] erUSUL: iirc, mount displays from /etc/mtab, but that would still mean that the system was ro from the start, but shouldnt have happened on a clean fs unless something happened on startup [11:35] how do i setup my wireless connection & router login info to my /etc/network/interfaces ? [11:35] oh well, least its working. just very odd behaviour given his symptoms [11:36] erUSUL, in the config file in my home directory, there was nothing, in the global setting here is what it says: [11:36] ao=pulse,alsa, [11:36] should i change it to: ao = sdl:esd [11:36] troubled: i think it was the ubuntu recovery mode thing [11:36] r3dxp: look in man interfaces ... then type /Examples ... I believe there is one that is exactly what you need [11:37] well i installed the jdownloader...it uses java so in installed a .jar file... but i dont know how to run the program since there is not any link in the meno or the desktop [11:37] troubled: i'm pretty sure i was able to write to the drive before I ran that and went into single-user mode [11:37] kmg_: possibly. never used it before though [11:37] i dont know ho to make a link to this program [11:37] YOSI: jar whatever.jar [11:37] troubled: and I got to it by doing init 1 [11:37] what? [11:37] YOSI: that is how you run the .jar [11:37] Hmm. I don't know much about sound, but should there really be an ALC889 codec with my Intel ICH8 card? (MacBook). [11:37] kmg_: did it finish yet? [11:37] K_Dallas: no; pulse,alsa seems like a good setting for me [11:38] K_Dallas: not sure why it fails [11:38] i run the jar already and installed [11:38] troubled: it's still going. it's probably gotta do like half the 8.04 -> 8.10 upgrade packages =P [11:38] but i want to run the program....should i run the jar again?? [11:38] erUSUL, darn! now I have to use -ao esd each time I use mplayer [11:38] kmg_: ooh, well hope you got the space hehe [11:38] YOSI: ok... java executables are all in .jar format... so you have to do the same for the program itself [11:39] troubled: and of course I'm in single user mode so I can't access the other ttys [11:39] ok, but where is the program installed? [11:39] troubled: yeah, im pretty sure I do [11:39] kmg_: well, you could have started another tty, but thats okay :) [11:39] YOSI: no idea... sudo updatedb && locate jdownloader [11:39] If there is no ee package. how best for me to install ee? === Mustinet is now known as Mustinet`aFk [11:40] thanks will try that [11:40] fde : what do i do with /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/net-interfaces.gz ?

[11:43] r3dxp: ahhh... they moves it... open that via zcat (although here it says its not there :/ ) [11:43] hi all, dumb question on ubuntu we use bash or sh as shell? also how to find out what shell am I using? [11:43] kmg_: well, i would take a look through your dmesg and syslog's for a possible messages as to what causes the mount ro on error in the first place [11:43] troubled: you can't updatedb as a normal user unless they changed that recently.... [11:43] I recently installed a dreambox(decoder device that runs linux), it can decode sat tv without a card?? [11:43] troubled: cron runs it daily already though [11:43] fde: ya, use sudo still, just dont run updatedb directly unless you sourced the conf for the env vars first [11:44] fde: if you run updatedb (on debian at least) as root, it will index all the stuff normal users cant see for security reasons [11:44] hi, i was in here yesterday looking for help setting up a remote control with my computer. sadly no one knew what i was talking about, but i did manage to finally work it out. from the forums it seems a few people have had this problem, with no real answers, so is there a place i can put a "howto" to help people in the same situation as i found myself? [11:44] ie: everything [11:44] shirish: dash is default sh in ubuntu [11:44] troubled: i'll do that [11:44] erUSUL: how did you found out? [11:44] kmg_: this isn't the first time thats happened?

[11:45] sry ;) [11:45] shirish: i knew it but do "ls -l $(which sh)" [11:45] erUSUL: also are shell and terminal same or different things [11:45] troubled: first time it's happened like this before. I've had to fsck my disk before when my processor overheated [11:45] is it possible to do the jack retasking on Realtek audio under linux? [11:46] shirish: i spect knew users to get bash by default as login shell. i use zsh [11:46] fde: but they may not know the files exist in the first place. plus you also index potentionally millions of more files on removable media and stuff that wouldnt otherwise be pruned [11:46] troubled: there were just a bunch of things foing on at once this time [11:46] fde.. i havent download them yet,, [11:46] erUSUL: on my system it shows dash as linked from /bin/sh [11:46] shirish: like in any other ubuntu out there. i told you :) [11:47] um btw guys.. is ubuntu possible to acquire some virus? [11:47] zhai: sure, likely? no [11:47] is there any antivirus applicable here? [11:47] zhai: it is possible, but the definition of virus's is not what you'd expect on a windows platform [11:47] a virus is just a malicious program after all [11:48] it could get one, but its not likely, the usage is low, and the technical expertise of the users is generally higher that windows, so mostly virus writers don't bother [11:48] zamba: there is anyivirus applications, but to be honest for linux based fil systems they are mostly redundent due tot he different way "virus" or exploits workk [11:48] zhai: you can use anti-virus software sure... mostly to protect your windows using friends though [11:48] zhai: chances are you would get a rootkit on *nix instead of a virus [11:48] zhai: viruses are much less effective on Linux boxes... even less effective if you have something like selinux [11:48] haha, yeah, gotta scan your own attachments before you forward emails [11:49] oh know i know [11:49] anyone here know how to install vmware ? i can't find it like i used to be able to as they took it from the repositories ... even the vmachine player.. [11:50] im just confused bec im about to connect my fone on my pc but im afraid it could get out of it [11:50] Ximal: it was removed because its non-free and virtualbox is reported to be faster by many... not to mention kvm [11:50] Ximal: download it from vmware and install it [11:51] whats kvm ? and itried but they don't have a deb file anymore since ubuntu doesn't carry it anymore ... kindof wierd [11:51] !kvm [11:51] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [11:51] erUSUL: is there any difference between shell and terminal or its the same thing given two names? [11:51] #ubuntu-cn [11:52] is vmware still in the canonical commercial repostitory? [11:53] troubled, remember the issue with the shared libraries this morning [11:53] Sektor__: ya, how that go for ya? [11:53] ikonia: there is? cool :) === sirfelius_ is now known as sirfelius [11:53] ChrisBeswick: nope [11:53] zamba sorry, that wasn't for you [11:53] shirish: well the shell is the interpreter of commands and scripts the terminal was the phisicall monitor+keyboard nowadays there exist only virtual terminals (VT) and terminal emulators (xterm; gnome-terminal etc) [11:53] ikonia: i know :) [11:53] well that stops me giving that advice then :D [11:54] lol [11:54] troubled, I asked a colleague who's pretty smart when it comes to linux issues, but he had to dig for an hour or so, and according to him, in linux the variables are shared, opposed to windows where each dll will have it's own copy of the global var [11:54] shirish: but many people use both terms and others to refer to the comand line interface of unix [11:54] troubled, you can modify this behaviour with the -fvisibility-ms-compat flag [11:54] is there anyway I can use the 7.10 apt-get package database for 8.10? [11:54] Sektor__: interesting that MS duplicates them and linux doesnt [11:55] troubled, but you than have to export your functions: #define EXPORT __attribute__((visibility("default"))) [11:55] sKeiths: no [11:55] sKeiths: Why would you want to? [11:55] sKeiths: not really. You'll wind up with package dependency problems. [11:55] trying to get 'ee' which is in 7.10 [11:55] sKeiths: well, correction, you can, but you'd have to re-compile everything, the binaries wouldn't work [11:55] hi all, keyboard stuff if CR stands for Carriage Return what would LF and NL stand for? [11:55] Sektor__: I suppose MS approach is to work around namespace issues or something perhaps? [11:55] troubled, I was surprised too, this is definitely a recipe for disaster when porting applications === x_ is now known as Erwin [11:55] shirish: Line Feed, and NL is probably new line. [11:56] Sektor__: ya, ive seen some of the junk you gotta go through when dealing with multi OS apps heh [11:56] sKeiths: you can add a 7.10 source repo... then apt-get -b source ee -t [11:56] sadfasdf [11:56] troubled, I think it's just a different approach, in MS default visibility is hidden, whereas in linux default visibility is to export everything [11:57] Sektor__: probably could have found that out in the gcc manpage, but god knows thats a week long read :) === sirfelius_ is now known as sirfelius [11:57] thanks fde. i'll try that now [11:57] Sektor__: i figure they hide stuff so they dev's dont have to worry about conflicts in naming or something [11:57] troubled, yeah, I went through a bunch of documentation, but the problem is very specific (not a lot of ppl had a ready answer) so I gave up, I'm too busy to delve deep into it [11:58] hello? [11:58] !hello | omegaomni [11:58] omegaomni: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:58] troubled, in this case I don't think it's a lazy work around, I believe they just have a different idea about a 'shared library' [11:58] im in need of some assistance. [11:58] omegaomni: great, tell us some details of the issue you're experiencing and we'll try to assist you. === olga is now known as transporter [11:59] troubled, in windows (as far as I know, I'm not an authority on this issue) there is not a lot of difference between applications and dll's, linkage wise anyways [11:59] thanks...my login screen service doesnt start...is there any way to start it during terminal? [11:59] hello === transporter is now known as Transporter [11:59] anybody use blue soleil [12:00] omegaomni: type: /etc/init.d/gdm restart ... any difference? if it still doesn't work, we'll look at the logs [12:00] thanks...ima write that down [12:01] ablyss[mobile]: me, in windows [12:01] guys anyone here uses gnome??? [12:01] omegaomni, you'll have to use sudo for that [12:01] Transporter: nope, no one... except those that do [12:01] jim_p: nice me too. I haven't tried the linux version yet though, you? [12:01] troubled, when linking a DLL in windows, everything is resolved and the result is some binary dll, whereas in linux you still have the concept of a library === QUILz_ is now known as QUILz [12:01] Transporter, yes [12:01] ablyss[mobile]: does it have a linux version too? [12:01] i needed some help getting started [12:01] rconan: ahh, forgot that [12:02] jim_p: yes but trail version only ( limited to 5mbits before disconnecting ) [12:02] Transporter: 99% of the people in here are in gnome i guess :P [12:02] well im basically new to linux [12:02] i'd like rhythmbox to transcode to mp3 when i throw music into my player. i've selected mp3 as preferred format from settings but still rhythmbox transcodes to ogg. :-/ [12:02] is there a NFS share/export management tool for Ubuntu ? [12:02] ablyss[mobile]: let me look [12:02] i dunno much I knw too much of winsucks [12:02] (so I can share various directories to other Ubuntu boxes) [12:02] where should i start from???? [12:03] ablyss[mobile]: do you need it for something particular? [12:03] inflex: would sshfs do what you want? [12:03] Transporter: synaptic is the best place to start! [12:03] inflex, I believe SAMBA can help you with that [12:03] adhian [12:03] im just a bit confused [12:03] hello [12:03] inflex, but that might be for the other way around, to access ubuntu box from windows [12:03] No, I need to use NFS. Bah, no matter, I'll hack it up in the /etc/exports file... just thought maybe Ubuntu would have something specific [12:03] jim_p: no not really. Just trying to get an idea if people use it on linux [12:04] some ppl are saying that xfce or flux box should be for starters [12:04] It's Ubuntu->Ubuntu and many other *nix machines [12:04] inflex: check shares-admin [12:04] ah [12:04] ablyss[mobile]: i checked on their site and it says its for 2 eepcs [12:04] inflex: or just right-click on folder and select "share" [12:04] will i encounter problems if i try with gnome first === adit_1 is now known as dita_virgin [12:04] Transporter, if you're new using ubuntu with gnome is probably best [12:05] Transporter, most of the easy-to-use bits of ubuntu work best on GNOMe [12:05] ooohhh is that so??? [12:05] Transporter: xfce is for slower pcs, because xfce is lighter than gnome. anything in *box requires you to be a bit adept with linux and configurations [12:05] Transporter: its more a case of system resources, gnome is designed for beginners [12:05] how do i get grub to recognise my vista installation. atm its only recognising ubuntu on the second disk! [12:05] hi all, is there a command or way to find out the capabilities of xterm? [12:05] Transporter: what pc are you on? [12:05] shirish: all the commands? [12:05] lenovo y510 [12:05] hi! does anyone know - if there is any soft in linux for dj-mixing?? [12:05] laptop [12:05] wisey: look in /boot/grub/menu.lst ... it should have an example Windows entry... uncomment it and try it [12:06] asines: i had seen one a few days ago, wait [12:06] Transporter: more precisely... [12:06] Transporter: cpu, ram in it? [12:06] jim_p: basically need info. about how much buffer is therein and stuff like that. [12:06] core 2 duo 2gb [12:06] Transporter: then Gnome will be fine [12:06] gnome will run fine and is almost definitely the easiest [12:06] jim_p: oh nice. i'm waiting [12:06] asines: mixxx http://www.mixxx.org/ i think its in the repos [12:07] i wiped out winsucks vista and loaded ubuntu [12:07] Transporter: gnome will run perfectly on it [12:07] i got bugged with vista [12:07] jim_p: thanx! [12:07] perfect [12:07] asines: yes it is!!! [12:07] i'd like rhythmbox to transcode to mp3 when i throw music into my player. i've selected mp3 as preferred format from settings but still rhythmbox transcodes to ogg. :-/ [12:07] and what about a webcam software that u would recommend [12:08] Transporter: what you wanna do with your cam? [12:08] TTilus: you miss some gstreamer plugin to get it to mp3s i think [12:08] record and remove pics of myself on my webcam [12:08] jim_p: no i don't, soundconverter makes mp3s just fine [12:08] i heard about cheese but a bit hesitant [12:08] TTilus: unfortunately, i dont know the name of it :( it must end in -bar or -ugly [12:09] TTilus: let me search [12:09] fde, shall i do this in ubuntu [12:09] i downloaded a file but it's extension is *.bundle .... what the heck is this and why can't i open it ? [12:09] hi [12:09] Ximal, what is the file? [12:09] Ximal: what are you trying to install [12:09] is there a way to use something saner than stupid pulseaudio :P ? [12:09] wisey: uhh... yes [12:09] TTilus: do you have gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly installed? [12:10] vmware-player.bundle is the full files name [12:10] jim_p: pkg was gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly [12:10] Ximal: run file against it [12:10] jim_p: and yes, i do have it [12:10] ikonia please put that in an example [12:10] Ximal: where did you get it [12:10] vmwARE.COM [12:10] Ximal: file $filename [12:10] jim_p: otherwise i dont think i would even have "CD quality (MP3)" on the list of possible formats [12:11] TTilus: try this too gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 [12:11] jim_p: whats fluendo? [12:11] error archive type not supported [12:11] TTilus: a company [12:11] TTilus: this is some plugin of gstreamer used by brasero to make mp3s i think. try it [12:11] chmod +x vmware-player.buddle [12:11] Hi! I have a problem with Compiz. Whenever my laptop wakes up from sleep mode, my Compiz looks horrible ... skydome and cube caps are gone ... [12:11] then run it [12:12] from a terminal [12:12] ./vmware-player.bundle [12:12] Hello, I need to install an application called Autodesk Maya Unlimited, in the installation guide it says that these 3 are the supported Linux OS's : [12:12] huh .. what's the x for ? [12:12] • Red Hat® Enterprise Linux WS 4.0 update 4 [12:12] • Fedora Core 5 [12:12] • SUSETM 10.2 [12:12] Will this work on Ubuntu? [12:12] paul__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:12] Teisei: do not hibernate then. or stop compiz beforehand [12:12] to make it executable [12:12] <_spm_Draget> Is it possible that lftp 3.7.4 has a bug concerning ftps? When I connect, login and try 'ls', I get 'FEAT negotiation' all the time [12:12] paul__, you can get it to work, it's difficult though [12:12] its a shell script installer [12:13] paul__: can you show us the page or the file you downloaded? [12:13] how can i open a file out of the console using the standard program for the associated file? [12:13] Q: I was reading the link given to me about pulseaudio and got a bit confused. Does hardy come with pulseaudio and if so, do I have to follow any of the steps given in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio to make it better or so? Thanks [12:13] i want to perform a "double click" on a file on my desktop using the console [12:13] is there not an install guide? [12:13] well i just want to have the same result [12:13] paul__, is this maya 2009? for 64-bit? [12:13] jim_p: But I like suspend mode because I don't want to restart my computer every half an hour or so ... So you suggest me to take effects off every time I want to suspend? [12:13] jim_p: It is a pdf which I got along with the DVD [12:13] ITS maya 2008 for 32-bit [12:13] pw-toxic: gnome-open file.txt [12:13] K_Dallas: I would recommend it, yes... as in hardy, pulseaudio was poor [12:13] paul__, ok, that makes some things easier. [12:14] fde, great, thanks a lot [12:14] paul__, you need to convert all the rpms to debs using alien and install [12:14] paul__: the installer is a .run, a .rpm or something? [12:14] .rpm [12:14] jim_p: thx, but this is desktop dependant i think - i'd like to have a command which works for most linux desktops [12:14] hi [12:14] currently installing ubuntu 8.10 on my wife's macbook air [12:14] wooohooo [12:14] jim_p: how do i use that? installed it already, but there was nothing added to available target formats nor rhythmbox plugin list [12:15] paul__: then sadly its an rpm :( although i dislike alien converting, you have to convert. pray it wont break anything [12:15] paul__: sudo aptitude install alien && sudo alien --to-deb whatever.rpm [12:15] pw-toxic: does gvfs-open suit your needs? [12:15] jdk1976: ahh i need you ;) i want to buy the "new macbook" and i want to install ubuntu too [12:15] jdk1976: can i query you? [12:15] it's been a while since i was this excited about a linux install [12:15] sure [12:15] btw, i received the 8.10 CDs yesterday! It was pretty fast ;) [12:15] jrib: well i dont know what gvfs-open is ;) [12:15] pw-toxic: dunno then. you can also force it with an app, like ff opening html [12:15] paul__, are there 4 rpms? two maya ones and two flex licensing ones? [12:15] pw-toxic, yes [12:15] hello [12:16] rconan: let me check [12:16] is there a way to get a listing of all the codes supported by system? I mean by codes like ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16 and others? [12:16] where can I get the lastet beta of kernel just patched? [12:16] <_spm_Draget> What does 'FEAT negotiation' stand for? My ftps client (lftp) hangs at that point. [12:16] TTilus: dunno then, i dont use rhytmbox. [12:16] jim_p: ;) [12:16] TTilus: you can always use another app to do the converstion from audio cds [12:17] radoen: kernel.org maybe? [12:17] jim_p: humm, looks like there's a transcode format bug reported against rb ... gotta check that [12:17] <_spm_Draget> Does anyone know another command-line ftps client byside lftp? [12:17] jim_p: ive done just that, soundconvert works for me just fine [12:17] hi all [12:17] I know but where is the kernel just patched? [12:17] Can anyone help me figure out why ubuntu wont wake up from suspend. It's been like that since hardy [12:17] radoen: you want it on a .deb? [12:18] no [12:18] I need src [12:18] radoen: then kernel.org [12:18] but just pachet at last beta release [12:18] am using ubuntu 8.04 but there is this thing which causes windows to come up empty without the fields, [12:18] i moved away from opensuse because of this it is also here?

[12:19] pw-toxic: I knew that didn't sound right. gvfs-open is not what you want. xdg-open is :) [12:19] radoen if you cant fund the source, you should'nt be building [12:20] shogran: this is not a windows channel nor VBox users one... [12:20] k [12:20] shogran: what program?

[12:21] !info ketchup | radoen [12:21] radoen: ketchup (source: ketchup): update utility for linux-kernel sources. In component universe, is optional.

Nothing to configure. [12:26] jim_p: which dialog box? [12:26] jrib, since openjdk was moved to main, that should be recommended java version [12:27] bmagoha: doesnt a dialog box appear inside the terminal when you run that command?

[12:45] jim_p: well, I was thinking of a " + E" thing, but thats helpfull anyway =p thanks [12:45] I have two wired networks enabled at the same time... Can I tell Network-Manager to prefer one over the other when trying to route? [12:45] jburd: i think there is an option in the 1st menu, try that too [12:45] jim_p: Ok, I'll do that. [12:45] i need a portable irc client :-s [12:46] m2k virtual or generic? [12:46] lee_, meant to say mencoder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MEncoder [12:46] m2k: ok but I think I already have that [12:46] A suggestion though. It reads "Check CD for defects" when I'm using a DVD. Can confuse users. Perhaps "Check disc for defects" might be better [12:46] the_dark_warrio: lol, you can do that too. System > preferences >Keyboard shortcuts i think. is it a custom shortcut you want to make? [12:46] how long will there be support for hardy again? 2010? [12:46] fde, noob sorry. what is the command to open it [12:47] mon^rch: 2011 [12:47] wisey: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:47] lee_, it might be easier to use something like media-convert.com or mux.am [12:47] sudo chop [12:47] ty jim_p [12:47] m2k: are those web-based ones? [12:47] AdvoWork, virtual or generic what? [12:47] Any idea how to fix suspend and hibernate in 8.10 on Gericom X5. Running sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh somehow works but clicking on suspend in shutdown menu not. Ubuntu suspends computer but after resume there is only black screen. No CTRL+ALT+BACKSPCE or CTR+ALT+DELETE is not working. [12:48] m2k: bad idea, each file is ~200+MB, would be very bad :) [12:48] lee_, yeah, if that doesnt work for you also there might be a gui for mencoder [12:48] lee_, depends on your internet connection ;) [12:48] m2k: dsl, 409kbit (about 39-40KByte) upspeed xD [12:48] wisey: I have to go... when you're done, hit ctrl + q ... then hit y ... then you should be set to reboot into Windows [12:48] m2k i pressed ESC and its given me a list: ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-virtual or -virtual(recovery mode) or generic and so on [12:49] i just installed ubuntu 8.10 on eee pc 900. wireless doesnt work, can anyone help? [12:49] wisey: if it doesn't work, come back here and ask someone about how to tell what drive Windows is installed to and how to point grub at that... but it should be fine right now [12:49] fde, i'm just going to reboot and see what happens. thanks! [12:49] m2k: i tried podencoder but that needed ffmpeg/mencoder compiled with H264+AAC support, which is why I came here, because ffmpeg wouldnt compile, i'll try mencoder now though [12:49] Can anyone help me figure out how to fix wake from suspend. It's been like that for gutsy, hardy and intrepid [12:50] hello. what programs do i have to choose from if i want a ymsgr like platform for ubuntu? [12:50] AdvoWork, which is the default? pick one of the recovery options, generic should be ok [12:50] user__: pidgin [12:50] user__: pidgin [12:50] AdvoWork, why doyou have so many kernels installed? [12:50] i have that but that's not really too ymsgr like [12:50] any other alternatives? [12:50] m2k god knows, ive not done anything other than install ubuntu [12:51] user__: pidgin is the best im client i've ever used. But try searching in the repository [12:51] alec868, there is an eee pc version of ubuntu, search on google and you can probably install their drivers to regular ubuntu [12:52] m2k its botting now, all i did was recovery, fix broken packages? and then it finished, enter > normal boot, then its ok [12:52] Is Brasero the default CD burning app for hardy? [12:52] AdvoWork, lol well generic kernel recovery mode should be fine, to see what errors there re [12:52] *are [12:53] m2k: i dont want the eee pc version, i had xandros eee and it was extremely limited. i have thre system installed and it works great, i just need wireless [12:53] anyone here experienced with sertting up ubuntu on macbook? i missed something about making the "windows" partition (the partition with ubuntu on it) active so it will show up in bootcamp. is there a way to fix this? [12:53] orly_owl, dont think so, although it might be installed [12:53] guys, it didn't work. I'm trying to tell grub to load my vista installation. How do i do it? [12:53] is it gnomebaker? [12:53] this is silly, all the guides for ipod video conversion with mencoder are from ipod mp4 to divx or something useless in this situation :( [12:53] !GnomeBaker [12:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomebaker [12:53] hello all can anyone tell me how to tell if i have 3d acceleration? [12:53] advowork, does the boot prompt say grub or grub4dos? [12:53] !Brasero [12:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about brasero [12:53] m2k thankyou for the help [12:54] jdk1976, have you seen the guides about ubuntu on macbook & bootcamp? [12:55] m2k. i'm using one for this, but it sort of skips right over that section [12:55] if i wanted to host multiple domains in ubuntu 8.10 does it provide this facitilty in the desktop release? [12:55] m2k got a link? or should i just google it? [12:55] jdk1976, ok which one and what step are you on [12:56] m2k. i'm done with install of 8.10 on macbook air [12:56] jdk1976, look first and see [12:56] i'll check in bootcamp [12:56] one sec [12:56] i can't believe this! [12:56] Can someone tell me where I can download the stunnel4 source code? [12:57] jim_p:after i installed hplip what will i do next === sean is now known as Guest88969 [12:58] helo [12:58] WOW. this is kind of bad. OSX can't recover the disk if this doesn't work, apparently, that disk space is just lost. boot camp doesn't see the parrtition [12:58] hi, i want to record some sound (me talking) but none of the sound aps seem to be set up properly with my soundcard [12:58] where could I strart t/shooting [12:58] ubuntu is on the partition, surely installed fine [12:59] i wonder if grub can override bootcamp [12:59] adac: apt-get source stunnel4 [12:59] doors98: configure it, look here http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html Using HP-Setup to configure your printer. [12:59] Guest31615, try searching your sound card model and ubuntu to see if it is a driver problem [12:59] what are the pros/cons for extending the swap partition if any? [12:59] Pici: thx! [13:00] any foss softwares to view cdr files (corel draw) [13:00] well my sound card isn't supported properly under ubuntu, i have to use a modem driver [13:00] but output is fine [13:00] what are the pros/cons for extending the swap partition if any? [13:01] and as far as I know modems accept sound input [13:01] SOURdiesel: its more virtual memory [13:01] snd-hnd-intel [13:01] Guest31615, probably check the forums and see what other users with that card have done [13:01] i want to change or update my sound drivers [13:01] ActionParsnip1: whats a good size other than 1H to extend the swap partition to? [13:01] oops 1G [13:02] please how to make crontab -e to open vim editor, not nano? [13:02] hello everybody [13:02] os x works great on my macbook :D [13:02] SOURdiesel, it depends how much memory your system has and what applications you are running [13:02] if i wanted to host multiple domains in ubuntu 8.10 does it provide this facitilty in the desktop release? [13:02] SOURdiesel: depends on how you use your system [13:02] jim_p: by the way i run it t the terminal, is it right? juz like in DOS for windows? [13:03] is there any program like disk defragmentator [13:03] can i use inkscape to view cdr files? plz help [13:03] amigamia, yes but you must install and configure a web server like apache. this is not too difficult and there are many guides [13:03] !defrag | kanhiya78 [13:03] kanhiya78: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [13:03] you dont need disk defrag in osx :) [13:03] !info defrag | kanhiya78 [13:03] kanhiya78: Package defrag does not exist in intrepid [13:03] m2k, ActionParsnip: 8GB of RAM, multimedia [13:03] apache is default isnt it? [13:03] amigamia: i assumed the question was about Ubuntu [13:03] SOURdiesel: define multimedia? [13:03] can some one help me in pm so i can tell you one 2 one please [13:03] i want to change or update my sound drivers the sound is noisy [13:03] yes ubuntu [13:03] amigamia: what do you mean default? [13:03] nathan362: crontab -e respects $EDITOR, so you can do sudo update-alternatives --config editor or modify it for just your user in .profile or similar. [13:03] m2k, ActionParsnip1: is 5GB overkill for the swap partition? [13:03] 8.1 i thin [13:03] ray16: ask in here [13:04] hello can anyone tell me how to tell if i have 3d acceleration in intrepid? [13:04] SOURdiesel: if you need it then its fine [13:04] well apache is just the web server by defacto isnt it? [13:04] it just comers pre installed [13:04] dubi: glxinfo | grep -i direct [13:04] amigamia: it's the most likely used, for sure. but no, it doesn't come pre-installed in Ubuntu at all. [13:04] need a converter to convert cdr to svg file [13:04] ActionParsnip: video editing and media center more than anything. [13:04] SOURdiesel, what was the default swap? with 8gb ram a 8-16gb swap would be fine [13:04] amigamia: not in a standard ubuntu install [13:04] amigamia: most desktop users don't want or need a web server installed, and it would actually be a security threat for them to have one. [13:04] !info apache2 | amigamia [13:04] amigamia: apache2 (source: apache2): Apache HTTP Server metapackage. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2.9-7ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 43 kB, installed size 100 kB [13:04] wow i had no idea [13:04] doors98: yea. you should be donw with istallation now, and move to Using HP-Setup to configure your printer part [13:04] can any one tell me how to set my own triva bot up and put it in my room ??? [13:04] m2k: default swap is 1GB [13:05] that is amazing. [13:05] SOURdiesel, it will almost never get used but there is no harm, unless you are short of disk space [13:05] ray16, not here, perhaps ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:05] well with server it does i would suspect. [13:05] jim_p: The disc check finished. The Disc is fine [13:05] amigamia: with server, it depends what server components you tell it to install [13:05] i thought apache was just included in all distrobutions today by default? === qbmaniac is now known as qb|away [13:05] m2k: the OS has it's own ssd 32GB drive. [13:05] amigamia: you thought completely wrong [13:05] amigamia: server comes with very little, you can install LAMP [13:05] geez oh man [13:05] !lamp | amigamia [13:05] amigamia: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [13:05] ok thanks [13:06] SOURdiesel, it just depends if your programs will use that hd space on their own, or prefer a larger virtual memory [13:06] | [13:06] jburd: i suggest the md5sum check on the .sio file, but its irrelevant now. are you sure both pcs are identical? in linux ati and nvidia in 2 similar pcs makes a huge difference [13:06] m2k, ActionParsnip1: thanks guys. [13:07] jim_p: I downloaded it using a torrent which automatically checks for sums [13:07] jim_p: Yes, both PCs are identical [13:07] jburd: and on nvidia? [13:07] jim_p: yep. nvidia geforce 6150 === lipsin__ is now known as lipsin [13:07] amigamia, the webserver is a package that can be installed [13:08] its an install option on server [13:08] i want to change or update my sound drivers the sound is noisy even if i dont play aything [13:08] thanks actionparsnip [13:08] I can give you a dump of lshw if you need it. @ jim_p [13:08] ubd, what sound card do you have? [13:08] i want to only change 1 setting i want to be able to change size of a window (with a keybind like ctrl+mousemovement). should i install 'simple-ccsm' or 'compizconfig-settings-manager'? im in ubunutu 8.10, gnome. [13:08] question: if i blacklist a module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, what might cause it to still be loaded? [13:09] jburd: an lspci is enough. pm me it [13:09] intel 82801dc-ich4 (think) [13:09] is there another ubuntu channel for development questions? [13:09] what is YaST2 control loader [13:10] PeskyJ: what kind of development questions? [13:10] jrib: like how does X, Y, and Z work (under the hood)? I want to know more about how drag and drop works on a coding level [13:11] i'm still trying to get my vista installation working, help is required [13:11] anybody using deluge with the blocklist? [13:12] wisey: This is the Ubuntu support channel, perhaps you should be asking in a SuSe or Windows channel. [13:12] Hi, I've 2 wired networks - want to prefer one over the other for routing... how can this be done? [13:12] Pici, i'm trying to configure grub [13:12] stevem; you can set it in network-manager-prefs [13:12] PeskyJ: in gnome? try #gtk on gimpnet (there's probably one on freenode too) I guess [13:12] jrib: ok, ta [13:12] wisey: YaST is a SuSe tool. [13:12] m2k: there's /dev/sda2 extended with a deop down option and in there is a /dev/sda5 linux-swap [13:13] PeskyJ: erm, #gtk+ [13:13] pici, i must be reading the wrong page then [13:13] jim_p: http://rafb.net/p/5TFSrH66.html [13:13] *drop [13:13] SOURdiesel, you have to unmount the partition and it cannot be active [13:13] SuSe [13:13] m2k: ah [13:14] m2k: that option is greyed oit also [13:15] jburd: then i dont know what to say. try using the alternative cd as a repo to make the upgrade [13:15] hi there [13:15] I need some help regarding how to burn a .dmg on linux [13:15] Pici, can you helo me setup a dual boot of vista and ubuntu. Both are alreay installed on disk hda + hdb === PrivateVoid_Ghos is now known as PrivateVoid_Work [13:16] soho: is that a command? 'network-manager-prefs' ? [13:16] I don't see it [13:17] SOURdiesel, ok, you can use a file to extend the swap instead of changing the partitions [13:17] BadRobot1, http://www.google.com.au/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=burn+dmg+ubuntu&btnG=Google+Search&meta= [13:17] I have traced the freezing problem of my pc to the network card RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet. When kept it down system stayed ok. Now i want to know what driver does it use and see if 8.10 use the right one as with ubuntu 8.04 was ok but dont know what was the driver [13:17] wisey: Did you install Windows after Ubuntu?

Is it possible to set the fan speed on a desktop pc? The sound of my fan kills me. [13:18] damnloudfan:you shouldn't tamper with that [13:19] ocs2, try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [13:19] how can i copy a video file from VCD [13:19] hey guys i read from the articles that there is no need to defrag files in linux [13:19] UnknownUser56: i will. either i will find a setting or i will simply cut the power of the fan. [13:19] hello [13:19] pici, windows before ubuntu. windows on hda and ubuntu on hdb [13:19] kanhiya78: correct [13:19] am i right? [13:20] damnloudfan:get another fan,or a water cooling system [13:20] wisey: and The Ubuntu install didn't detect Windows when it installed? [13:20] kanhiya78, yeah that is my understanding for the majority of people [13:20] Q: to compile applications from source, do I need to install build-essential to get all the required tools or they are already installed by hardy default installation? Thanks [13:20] with ext2 or ext3? [13:20] junaid: IIRC, it's just an MPEG files somewhere in the disc, although it's probably got a .vcd extension instead of .mpeg [13:20] hello [13:20] K_Dallas: the former [13:20] K_Dallas, you have to install build-essential [13:20] UnknownUser56: just bought another fan today. its too loud. im tired. i will check the net and look if there is a bios setting. if not - to hell with the fan. [13:20] thanls LjL parkerhiggins [13:20] Where is the .bashrc file for the root user? [13:21] Pici, not this time. [13:21] damnloudfan, usually not, the best thing to do is get a higher quality fan, they are pretty cheap [13:21] can anyone help me in gcc compiler [13:21] zimbres: /root/.bashrc [13:21] ok guys it cuts a schedule task from your life [13:21] !grub | wisey Check out the first link, it may help you.

[13:21] m2k: i will run an experiment and see how long the cpu survives without a fan. [13:21] kanhiya78, unless you fill up your hard drive badly, then fragmentation is unlikely to be an issue [13:21] question: if i blacklist a module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, what might cause it to still be loaded? [13:22] i want to use pow command buts not working even after using math.h [13:22] azimout: having it blacklisted with the wrong syntax, maybe [13:22] damnloudfan: newer cpus does not take any damage without a fan [13:22] azimout: the syntax is: blacklist modulename [13:22] damnloudfan, replace it with another quieter fan ^_^ [13:22] DIFH-iceroot: its an old old old cpu [13:22] damnloudfan: they are just underclocking themselves [13:22] m2k: i did that today. still too loud [13:22] damnloudfan: then 2-3 sec [13:22] i want to use pow command buts not working even after using math.h [13:23] Hmm.. Firefox updates.. yes.. now people will quit asking how to get the latest :) [13:23] DIFH-iceroot: i doubt the 2-3sec. that would be without a cooler maybe. but i will leave the cooler on.

Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [13:23] why do i need -lm [13:23] it stands for what [13:24] saurabh: because math is a separate library, not part of stdlib. "-lm" links your binary to that library. [13:24] SOURdiesel, what applications are you running? it may affect what you want for the swap file === david is now known as Guest54273 [13:24] ljl: thanx, but it's correct syntax [13:24] saurabh: you should ask in a c programming channel [13:24] azimout: does the module contains _ or -?

[13:29] Ljl: yes lm is there, also lahf_lm .. what does this tell me? [13:30] azimout: don't know... try blacklisting ppdev *before* parport, since parport depends on it [13:30] tatters: well without more context, I'm assuming you need to rebuild a package to apply the patch [13:30] ljl: good idea, thanx, will try it and reboot [13:30] I have an external harddrive (ARCHOS) that mounts as a read-only file system. any pointers for mounting it read-write? [13:30] jrib: I assumed a patch could be applied to a script without rebuilding?

But there isn't one from sun. Flash hasn't been an issue in [14:57] ikonia: is a livecd version of 7.04 ok? [14:57] nikitis: yes, you can use open java. But there isn't one from sun. Flash hasn't been an issue in 64 bit for a long time now [14:57] kiru: don't see why not [14:57] kiru: I know nothing about getting java to run, or 64-bit, so ask someone else that question :-) [14:57] kk [14:57] jrib: How is openjava?

[14:57] now its wanting a b43 driver [14:57] jrib: sorry, i don't understand what wfm is [14:57] Great_Gatsby: because itls old [14:57] nikitis, when especially you are a developer developing 64 based softwares and again this is a setback coz not many people have started using 64-bit systems, many are still with the 32-bit system, but I must guarantee you that 64-bit linux systems are very great [14:57] nikitis: works for me [14:57] Is it possible to use the update manager to go 7.10 -> 8.10 or do I have to upgrade to 8.04 first? [14:57] neozen, What do you mean about "wacom"?

[14:58] bazhang: that's kinda lame [14:58] Great_Gatsby: I don't need to see "f'ing" - if you can't say it wihtout implying swearing - don't say it [14:58] my wifi refuses to connect today, it sees the network, but just keeps asking for auth info and not connecting [14:58] nikitis: sun provides java for 64 bit, it just doesn't provide a plugin for your browser [14:58] xiroV: wait.... meant synaptics.... was my understanding touchpads are usually compatible with each other [14:58] neozen, Well.. The touchpad is working.. but i miss a driver for it... I had to install a driver in windows too, but i could use the touchpad without.. it just makes the movement more smooth. [14:59] linny, why don't you try the mkisofs on commandline, been using it [14:59] xiroV: hmm [14:59] jrib: ah so openjava is for browsers then [14:59] and i cant use the b43 driver [14:59] xiroV: couldn't tell you [14:59] i hit enable it downloaded and installed it but wont let me use it [14:59] nikitis: no open java provides a jre as well if you want [14:59] xiroV: most of the posts I see on the ubuntu forums don't seem to have a problem w/ the touchpad out of the box [14:59] Slartibartfast pls explain ? [14:59] Great_Gatsby: how is your router set up? can you see it in network manager? is it open or WEP, WPA, WPA2? are you supplying the keys correctly? [14:59] xiroV: thus my puzzlement [14:59] heh. Java without a JRE is kinda useless. :) [14:59] yes PeskyJ [14:59] the light is on [15:00] yo HotBreeze [15:00] im connected to it [15:00] but im not getting a connection [15:00] b43 driver just > 2.6.24.19 [15:00] http://pastebin.com/m25d026fb [15:00] nikitis: it has a plugin that can work with browsers, yes... its openjdk though not openjava - and it is basically the same thing as sun-java6 just more free [15:00] yo a3Dman [15:00] ikonia: when i try again should i upgrade or clean install 8.10? [15:00] nikitis: it is essentially the upstream for sun-java6 [15:00] SOURdiesel: up to you [15:00] neozen, using a touchpad without a driver, is like using one of the old mouses with a ball inside, with the cencors really dirty.. if you know what i mean.. [15:00] I'm having trouble printing. Here is my error report http://www.pastebin.ca/1260423. I've already tried to update the printer driver according to the registries, all of which I've uncommented so the necessary updates should be taking place. [15:00] jrib: is there a way to upgrade your 32-bit machine to 64 without uninstalling off of your configurations or is it just better to? === Dedi is now known as dedi_away [15:01] ikonia: i heard clean install worked better. but then again like you say, user. [15:01] hehe [15:01] my wifi will not work today, has been working fine even just last night, but now keeps not connecting after asking for auth [15:01] SOURdiesel I'd rather see a clean install, but thats not practical for everyone === UnknownUser58 is now known as UnknownUser56 [15:01] nikitis: there is no way other than reinstalling [15:01] xiroV: OHHH YEAH I gotcha... just never really was a big touchpad guy... tend to prefer the nipple mouse in the middle of my keyboard [15:01] Great_Gatsby: well that's odd... it appears as wlan0 for me, not eth1 [15:01] SOURdiesel: thats only a personal opinion though [15:01] ikonia: cool. [15:01] what PeskyJ ? [15:01] well.. i have read some articles about touchpad driver in linux, but i couldnt find any exact explanation on how to install it. [15:01] SOURdiesel: if you have things backed up, or don't care about losing anything, you can go ahead and clean-install, it'll result in a cleaner system ... keep in mind though that Ubuntu does a lot of work to ensure upgrades are seamless and do not leave cruft around. [15:01] thats irrelevant [15:01] hai [15:01] when I install ubuntu server, is it possible to edit the kernel like in gentoo ? [15:01] you have a different card [15:01] jrib: ok i have a separate root patition, i'll just reformat it [15:02] linny, use: mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso /directory to create the iso image then to burn, cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom driveropts=burnfree -v -data cd_image.iso [15:02] neozen, well.. i have read some articles about touchpad driver in linux, but i couldnt find any exact explanation on how to install it. [15:02] fde: thanks. [15:02] I have a friend with a hp desktop that stops during boot with an ACPI error cannot turn cooling device 'on' and he has to reboot several times before it actually boots. any ideas?? [15:02] jrib: one last question, how well does wine or other 32-bit only programs run in 64bit ubuntu? [15:02] nikitis: wine works fine [15:02] backwards compatibility etc [15:03] PeskyJ: A network device and be called makemysysteminsecure for all the system cares - its not a hard coded thing at all [15:03] xiroV: yeah, couldn't tell you... sorry I couldn't be of more help... thought your touchpad wasn't working @ all [15:03] neozen, well.. im just trying to get used to touchpad.. but its so stupid when the movements is so rough, you kno.. [15:03] jrib: do you install wine the same way? [15:03] ikonia: is it okay if i pm you [15:03] I'm on Ibex - i don't know if I mentioned that above [15:03] nicku just ask in here [15:03] Did anyone have problems with configuring display on thinkpad x30 xubuntu 8.10??

I'm afraid that makes no sense to me [15:19] hmm... brb [15:19] Same with Start up manager when I try to browse for the file to change. [15:19] fde, I've created works that I'd love to see people remix so long as they give me attribution. [15:19] xiroV: ok.... so the kernel knows its an ALPS and not a generic mouse.... [15:20] xiroV: apparently at one point, that's the driver the mouse module loaded for your touchpad.... yours seems to have the proper behavior though [15:20] When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?

[15:24] i've been doing it for years n8tuser [15:24] i cant figure it out [15:24] never caused any problems [15:24] Great_Gatsby-> so you decide now, wired or wireless but not both at the same time, can be both but you hve to fiddle with the route table and its for advanced users.. [15:24] Dorobo18jp: (well, unless it fails and you have to figure out why) [15:24] xiroV: directions are for redhat, but the xorg.conf pieces should be similar [15:24] neozen, okay.. well.. can you give me a fast explanation on what "x.org" is? i see that everywhere [15:24] all i have to do is unplug the wired connection and wireless takes over [15:24] but wireless wont connect [15:24] i cant make a directory i can configure it i cant run it just goingto give up fortonight [15:24] Great_Gatsby-> thats fine, only one at a time [15:24] Hey, I just installed intrepid and I'm trying to let my wireless card works.

[15:27] but i can't update it because it won't let me, all it does is give me hints on locating the repositories which doesn't help me one bit [15:27] neozen, Ah.. so x.org is a place where the gui works on? or something like that?

[17:07] It's just that everything still seems enabled... I'll try to see if I can reset the thing [17:07] jeebster, disable and re-enable [17:08] hi there, im trying to recover data from a HD using ubuntu, the HD's were setup on raid 10. Ive plugged the 2 hard drives from the array into my pc, any ideas how I can see the data, or where it would be mounted?

[17:09] hwilde: it seems like I had to just reset it twice - on the first time it didn't get it back, but after bringing it down and up once more it started moving [17:09] hwilde on where? [17:10] ok, I'm black [17:10] *back [17:10] AdvoWork, do you know how raid works? [17:10] not completely [17:10] Ubuntu Hardy Heron update to Firefox 3 this morning completely borked the browser. Reinstall was no help. Surprise, reboot fixed it. Shades of The Evil Empire? [17:10] lol kephu... so how did it go :) [17:10] hello [17:10] is the new flash player for every pc [17:10] Uplink, I discovered something I've missed due to update taking place late at night: "setting up network interfaces" at boot sure does take its sweet time for some reason [17:11] AdvoWork, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks [17:11] ? [17:11] AdvoWork, basically RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and mirroring [17:11] kephu: yes it does... :) [17:11] AdvoWork: I think you can look forward to a lot of experimenting... go read up on how raid works, what kind of parameters there are.. and then learn how to handle it on linux.. how to set it up ... on a detailed level. [17:11] AdvoWork, that will make it quite a challenge to read the data just off the disk. [17:11] So it's actually SUPPOSED to? [17:11] AdvoWork, what you need is to hook it up to another raid controller so it can handle the striping and mirroring [17:11] hwilde are there any quick or easyish solutions to do so [17:11] hi all [17:11] AdvoWork, what kind of box did you take the harddrives out of [17:12] hwilde network terastation device [17:12] kephu: what ubuntu version your on? [17:12] hey guys, got a problem: i bought myself a switching device which allows me to use more computers with one monitor, one mouse and one keyboard... now when i boot ubuntu, i can't choose anymore from the bootloader (GRUB), i guess this switching device doesn't start the keyboard just yet, someone's got any idea how to fix this? [17:12] AdvoWork, put them back in there [17:12] is flash player for every pc? [17:12] I've got a laptop using Hardy Heron, trying to get a linksys wpc11 to work. it can see the wireless network, but I'm not sure if I'm following the correct steps to connect to it [17:12] hwilde why? [17:12] dou213, set the default [17:12] Uplink: 8.10, this is what ruined everything ;) [17:12] AdvoWork: and where are the other two drives? [17:12] AdvoWork, read the link. understand raid. then you will understand [17:13] when I do System->Sound and Test "Sound playback" : error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audiosample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" and the dialog hang if I try to close it (Force quit) [17:13] hwilde: the switching device is on default [17:13] is flash player for every pc?

[18:05] nvm [18:06] ultraviolet9, maybe go to synaptic and do a search for alsa [18:06] I can't hear sound in flash! Help please! :s [18:06] scientes: actually you can... but unless you have good reason to compile your own kernel, don't [18:06] DracNoc, I am far away from that point in time though, is there something I can do now? [18:07] i need to see if a bug if fixed upstream before reporting to the kernel [18:07] !audio-flash [18:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about audio-flash [18:07] !flash [18:07] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:07] !flash-audi [18:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about flash-audi [18:07] !flash-audio [18:07] mysteryc: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 [18:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about flash-audio [18:07] !fishing | mysteryc [18:07] mysteryc: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [18:07] hey guys I'm having a very strange problem ... I have a router which is connected to a switch which is linked to a wireless canyon transmitter and my lap-top establishes a connection, gets the local network but can't connect to the net [18:07] why is that ? [18:07] scientes: you should still report the bug [18:07] wwpiexec: k thanks ;) =] [18:07] orci, what do you mean? are you currently installing or do you want to know what is installed by default before you install? [18:07] anybody ever have such experience [18:07] ? [18:08] n8tuser: are you here? === paul__ is now known as paul678 [18:08] DracNoc, I have a system which has a lot of packages installed after the clean install [18:08] DracNoc, Now i'd like to remove some of them [18:08] DracNoc, so i need a list of packages installed afterwards [18:09] orci: if its from the clean install, they will have come in from one of the ubuntu-whatever packages... [18:09] orci, use the Status button on the left (in Synaptic) and select "Installed" immediately after a clean install. You can DEselect from that list if you wish [18:09] How do I make a new empty regular file from command line? [18:10] ph_d_: touch file [18:10] orci: /var/log/apt/term.log for instance will tell you everything apt has done though [18:10] why are there key icons next to my partitions in gparted. i also have an unallocated space of 1mb in another drive it won't let me delete. [18:10] thanks [18:10] orci: if you've updated though, that'll be in there too... [18:10] SOURdiesel: the key icons mean these partitions are locked.. check if they are mounted and unmount them [18:11] DracNoc, fde let me try in a different way, I have a system which has ubuntu packages that were installed when i installed from a cdrom. I also have lots of packages which were not installed during the system installation, but they were installed afterwards. I'd like to get a list of those failes installed after the cdrom install has finished [18:11] what do i need to play .rv? [18:11] SOURdiesel: you can't delete unallocated space === nagappan_ is now known as nagappan [18:12] Where are programms usually stored to in ubuntu? [18:12] wwpiexec: thanks. also, can i just resize the extended partition on the main drive or do i need to resize the main partition then make a new extended partition. the one with the linux-swap partition? [18:12] Is the hampster time tracking tool in ubuntu 8.10? I just upgraded and can't seem to find it... [18:13] orci: dpkg -l > whatever on both machines, making sure the names are different... then just diff them? [18:13] hi, what could be an awk script to convert upper case words in a file to first letter upper and the rest lower such as FOO to Foo ? [18:13] SOURdiesel: you can resize the extended i belive.. [18:13] I did an Ubuntu install with usb-creator a while back but syslinux wouldn't boot it like so: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/06/error-could-not-find-kernel-image-linux/ . So, I moved the syslinux configurationn files to the root of the device and ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdXX as well as lilo -M /dev/sdX and I still suffered the same problem. [18:13] what codec do i need for .rv files? [18:13] Im installing trac and it is a bit weird.. Trac guys doesn't have a clue, so, trying here: "Warning: Can't synchronize with the repository (Unsupported version control system "svn": "No module named svn" ). Look in the Trac log for more information"... I have it installed! [18:13] hey guys I'm having a very strange problem ... I have a router which is connected to a switch which is linked to a wireless canyon transmitter and my lap-top establishes a connection, gets the local network but can't connect to the net [18:13] fde, I have just one system [18:13] Hi === simon1245_ is now known as simon1245 [18:13] I can open the local computers but cannot get in touch with google or etc [18:14] wwpiexec: i've tried using gparted off the live cd and it won't give me that option. do i eed to unmount it or swapoff? [18:14] orci: then you'll have to look at the log file I told you [18:14] has anybody had this problem [18:14] ? [18:14] fde, a rule in synaptic would not be possible? [18:14] Anyone here install kdenlive? Cause I installed it through Synaptic Package Manger and it doesn't come up under Sound & Video. Why? [18:14] orci: I don't think so, no [18:14] fde, a "filter rule"? [18:15] ForsakenSoul: i guess that other computer on your local network can reach the internet... [18:15] fde, all right, thank you for helping me. sorry for confusion [18:15] SOURdiesel: if its a swap partition and its being used.. then you need to swapoff [18:15] orci: I understood what you meant... no, I don't think its possible... synaptic and any other libapt frontend makes no such distinctions... they are all just packages to it [18:15] a_l_e: of course [18:15] the router has mac filtering [18:15] orci: like I said though, take a look at /var/log/apt/term.log [18:15] fde, that feature would be cool though [18:15] and runs a dhcp server === paul678 is now known as paul68 [18:16] fde, yes got it thanks [18:16] wwpiexec: so swapoff the swap partition and resize the extended partition, correct? or do i just resize the swap partition? [18:16] ForsakenSoul: ... and if you try to use another system on your computer do you get into the internet? [18:16] orci: request it via bugs.launchpad.net or brainstorm.ubuntu.com and see how you get on? [18:17] SOURdiesel: yes, swapoff.. then you need to resize the extended partition.. then resize anything inside it to cover the extra space [18:17] a_l_e: yes it works almost perfectly with xp [18:17] except maybe slowing down from time to time [18:17] and such stuff === DRNK-Eway is now known as DrunkY [18:17] can you ping IPs outside of your localnet? (without using dns) [18:17] wwpiexec: do i need to do this off the live cd or can it be done normally? [18:17] Anyone here install kdenlive? Cause I installed it through Synaptic Package Manger and it doesn't come up under Sound & Video. Why? [18:17] ForsakenSoul can you ping IPs outside of your localnet? (without using dns)a [18:18] hmm a_l_e I haven't tried [18:18] I tried only using domain names [18:18] what do i need to play .rv files === Zluchka_from_Rus is now known as [All_poh_on_me] [18:18] hi, i try to use backup-manager, but i get the followed error, there are no reported bugs and it worked before.. /usr/share/backup-manager/sanitize.sh: fork: Cannot allocate memory [18:18] SOURdiesel: you can do it normally.. but if the ubuntu root partition is inside the extended partition then you wont be able to unmount it.. you'll then need to use the livecd [18:18] ForsakenSoul: can you try 209.85.171.99? (it should be google) [18:19] hmm not in the moment [18:19] give me 5-10 minute [18:19] Does anyone know where i can get norwegian language pack and spelling/gramma pack to OO 3.0? [18:19] minutes [18:19] so if I "dpkg --get-selections > file" then "dpkg --set-selections < file" would that work? [18:19] wwpiexec: root partition is sda1. extended is sda2. [18:20] SOURdiesel: if you can unmount all partitions inside the extended then you are good.. [18:20] a_l_e: just a note that it doesn't work on both network manager 6.X and 7.0 [18:20] <[All_poh_on_me]> Good-by all! [18:20] there is nothing on google about .rv files [18:20] what do i need to get it playing [18:20] i ca hear sound [18:20] wwpiexec: thanks.

[18:21] SOURdiesel: np.. good luck [18:21] Great_Gatsby: what are rv files? [18:21] wwpiexec: there is a factoid that expands on that, but I can't seem to recall it [18:21] i have no idea [18:21] its supposed to be a video [18:21] hmm... hey gatsby ... search restricted codecs in add remove and try installing the restricted files [18:21] i'll fish ubottu for it :-) [18:22] or enabling them through your system menu ;) [18:22] i've already done that xian [18:22] Great_Gatsby: have you tried VLC?!

[18:27] DracNoc: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [18:27] forsakensoul, what are you trying to do?

[18:28] ForsakenSoul: just to make it clear.. other OSes on the same machine works fine.. except for ubuntu?

[18:32] Anyone here that can give me some good tips about how to start on with SDL in C++? Any good tutorials, or ebooks? [18:33] Hey there, I've installed a new version of Glib because some of my programs require it. However, I don't want to uninstall the old version because Ubuntu will then remove lots of packages that depend upon it. Currently I am having trouble keeping both versions, because the "configure" scripts that I use often detect both versions of glib and then crash. How do I resolve this?? [18:33] w0ls0n: as long as the system detects it in POST, ubuntu will find it just fine [18:33] this is the dar config file I am runing from dar [18:33] http://pastebin.ca/1260582 [18:33] any idea of what kind of cards to get? [18:33] I suspect there is something wrong with /sbin/automatic_backup.sh -auto ... [18:33] not sure though [18:33] dacorr: yes ... the transmitter is connected to a switch which is connected to the router [18:33] whatever doesn't have a bad review :) [18:33] w0ls0n: you might want to check tomshardware.com [18:33] I tried connecting the transmitter directly to the router but there was no luck with that [18:33] this part seems to be what's wrong no idea where it is though [18:33]   [: 223: ==: unexpected operator [18:33] ea I'm just looking on newegg now [18:34] in email [18:34] bbelt16ag: it probably in the script at line 223 [18:34] hi, my wireless card isnt showing with iwconfig, anything I have to do prior to "iwconfig" to see them? [18:34] ok [18:34] oh [18:34] dacorr: as I said earlier ... I can get into the local network but not in the net [18:34] Student-35xx: whats your wireless card [18:35] Student-35xx: you are probably lacking drivers and/or firmware [18:35] forsakensoul, so the router is the DNS point acting as a gateway and your network settings tell the computer to use it as a gateway? [18:35] ok [18:35] hmm yeah [18:35] this part [18:35] NoUserChoice=false if [ $# -ne 0 ]   then     if [ "$1" == "-auto" ]       then         NoUserChoice=true       else         Usage         exit 1     fi fi [18:35] I have set the xorg.conf file correctly to load my nvidia drivers when x server is started, but something else is being loaded that changes my resolution from 1680x1050 to 800x512 and i do not know what is causing this... the output of Xorg.0.log file that shows the change is pasted to http://pastebin.com/m445f05ec [18:35] the gateway is usually 192.168.2.1 [18:36] wiat a mintue ...

[18:46] aLeSD: that is where all samba logs go [18:46] I'm just telling you that that's what I was told by the people in #ubuntu-ops [18:46] mewshi: I'm in that channel, I can see what your saying [18:46] fde: thanks [18:47] Ugh...

Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. I can write to the drive however when I mount it using nautilus it displays the drive as empty. All other window shares on our network show up and function as expected. any suggestions? [18:48] Quick question, I've got some 'bogus' menu entries on my 'Applications' drop down (they were installed by third party programs that weren't actually debs). How do I remove the menu entry from that list? Going to 'add/remove' seems to be a list of programs, and these particular entries don't show up. [18:48] mewshi: this is not an ubuntu problem, so please stopdiscussing it [18:48] can anyone point me to some documentation on the encrypted root alternate install cd option? [18:49] It is an ubuntu problem, since I run ubuntu, and I'm having a problem with something. Just because it isn't *directly* related to ubuntu doesn't mean it's not an ubuntu problem. [18:49] mewshi: Thats not the focus of this channel. [18:49] fde are all updates .deb files [18:49] jtisme: yes [18:50] mewshi: no it's not, ubuntu is not hear to solve your networking problems [18:50] I have a Intel(R) Pro/Wireless 3945 ABG Network connection, but my wireless doesnt turn up in iw or ifconfig... anyone know how I can fix this? [18:50] here even [18:50] mewshi, you are on irc anyways so um your complaints are null and void [18:50] Student-35xx: can you show us ifconfig -a in an pastebin please [18:50] I don't want to use this god-damn web client [18:51] web clients suck [18:51] !language | mewshi [18:51] mewshi: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[18:53] how did you get the touchpad to work properly, did you have to compile your own kernel using mactel-patches? [18:53] dhiraj: if you ask a question [18:53] ringo999: touchpad should work fine [18:53] ringo999, never had a problem with it [18:53] ringo999: what version of the macbook is it [18:53] ikonia: 1st gen [18:53] I did an Ubuntu install with usb-creator a while back but syslinux wouldn't boot it like so: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/06/error-could-not-find-kernel-image-linux/ . [18:53] So.. anyone, where are the 'Applications' menu list items stored? [18:53] ringo999: shouldnt be a problem, what type of issues are you having [18:53] Or how do I remove an item from there? [18:53] So, I moved the syslinux configurationn files to the root of the device and ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdXX as well as lilo -M /dev/sdX and I still suffered the same problem. [18:54] ikonia: is there a way to run a windows app in ubuntu which needs access to the internet bcoz i am not able to run any internet based app in wine [18:54] buu: Right click on the top of the menu and to to edit. Or run alacarte manually. [18:54] dhiraj: wine should work [18:54] buu: right click the menu then choose eedit menu [18:54] ikonia: in fact, im using debian, but i'm trying to find help in ubuntu as well. the problem is that the touchpad is over sensitive, resulting in big mess when typing to fast etc. [18:54] m2k: I have sometimes used this site http://www.cs278.org/blog/ubuntu-configuration/feisty-debootstrap-encrypted-install/ as a reference for how to install an encrypted root using debootstrap. It is a bit dated but you may find it useful [18:54] Any ideas of how to get rid of this 'Error: Could not find kernel image: Linux' business? [18:54] ringo999: ask in #debian [18:54] Pici: Oh, haha, thanks. [18:54] ringo999: ubuntu doesn't support debian [18:55] ikonia: i did no help :-( i found that applying mactel-patches might help, so I'm wondering if there is anyone who got it working and would share his .config for compiling... [18:55] I have a Iomega network drive in my office. Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. I can write to the drive however when I mount it using nautilus it displays the drive as empty.

[19:01] ikonia: its a remote desktop tool like vnc.. however how would you connect to vista machine remotely [19:01] Student-35xx: thats probably the issue then, if you do an lspci you'll find your vmware guest doesn't have a wirless card in it [19:01] updated i mean from svn [19:02] my vnc protocol is not highlighted in the terminal server client [19:02] ikonia: even though I can go online with ubuntu through vmware?

(ubuntu ibex x64) [19:15] ikonia: it is perfectly setup on windows. what my issue is that its now showing the vnc option in terminal server client. it only shows rdp and rdpv5 [19:15] dhiraj: the windows end would have to be setup already, the ##windows channel can help you out with that [19:16] dhiraj: use remote desktop viewer [19:16] dhiraj does the client support any other protcols ? [19:16] dhiraj: apt-get install xvnc4viewer [19:16] dhiraj: try rdesktop [19:16] what is r desktop [19:16] it is rdesktop [19:16] dhiraj: the client normally offers what the server supports as I recall [19:16] dhiraj: rdesktop is rdp [19:17] !info rdesktop [19:17] rdesktop (source: rdesktop): RDP client for Windows NT/2000 Terminal Server. In component main, is optional. Version 1.6.0-2ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 134 kB, installed size 480 kB [19:17] dhiraj: ikonia probably actually means tsclient though, which is a frontend for rdesktop ... rdp by the way is the Windows remote desktop protocol. [19:17] yes exactly [19:18] yes, tsclient should work just fine as well [19:18] lo [19:18] dhiraj: tsclient also handles vnc ... so its nice, still haven't figured out why Ubuntu now also installs a stand-alone vnc client along with tsclient [19:18] ok the apt-get install xvnc4viewer solution gave me the vnc option now [19:18] this is exactly wht i was looking for [19:18] is it possible to distupgrade ubuntu 6.something to the current one? [19:19] a simple search in synaptic for rdp brings up several solutions, too [19:19] !upgrade > sincu [19:19] !upgrade > sinuc [19:19] sinuc, please see my private message [19:19] how so i also activate xdmcp? [19:19] and how do i activate the ICA option too? [19:19] dhiraj: in the gdm setup. you reach that in the admin menu [19:19] dhiraj: ica is a windows service [19:19] !xdmcp | dhiraj [19:19] dhiraj: that depends on Ubuntu version.... [19:19] dhiraj: xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it [19:20] Gnea: didn't know that factoid existed, handy [19:20] zsquareplusc: that is no longer around afaik [19:20] ikonia: but that option shows up in the terminal server client as disabled.. how would one activate that option [19:20] ikonia: indeed [19:20] so its basicly a bad idea eh [19:20] I have a Iomega network drive in my office. Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. I can write to the drive however when I mount it using nautilus it displays the drive as empty. All other window shares on our network show up and function as expected. any suggestions? [19:20] zsquareplusc: take that back, its there again... cool [19:20] i am using interpid [19:20] dhiraj: I guess it depends if the server supports it [19:20] thanks tho dude [19:20] cya folks [19:21] fde: i have it set to german so ots called differently but there is a logon on screen configuration option here [19:21] ikonia: its an X feature for remote logins to X... my question was because the new GDM doesn't have a frontend, but I think Ubuntu is still using the old GDM [19:21] n8tuser: are you arround? [19:21] can you please suggest some websites from where i can download full ubuntu related ebooks [19:21] fde: new gdm (as in gnome .24) doesn't have ve a front end ?

[19:22] ikonia: it doesn't have a functional Login Window configuration tool, no, not currently... Fedora users have had to do without for 2 releases now while they write one...

[19:49] Garnol9155: do you know where the regular icon sets are found?

[20:08] hwilde: I will give it a shot when I get home, just in case I can't get back into it. [20:08] DoctorPepper, if it doesn't show up, have him run "ifconfig -a" and see if it's there [20:09] so i don't have to go and manually mount it each time [20:09] Garnol9155: okay - no not really... I would recommend googling or searching the forum for "ubuntu icon theme not applying" or something to that effect [20:09] DoctorPepper, if it is there, and lets say it's called eth0, run "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" then "sudo dhclient eth0" [20:09] squiggie, yeah i'm just saying maybe sudo wasn't the only thing broken you know [20:09] anybody here have the Ubuntu 8.10 64bit cd?

[20:23] ActionParsnip: yes, it works. thanks === Guest57956 is now known as nintendork32 [20:23] sambagirl, are they 64bit processors ? [20:23] i dunon? [20:23] sambagirl, model number? [20:23] i thought 2 cpus at 32 would = 64? [20:24] hold on. [20:24] I have a GeForce2 MX/MX 400 graphics card, which is quite crappy and compiz runs quite slow. I wanna purchase another graphics card that makes compiz fly. Which one do you recommend me arround 100$? [20:24] |Chrizz|: if emerald is running your new theme should be active straightaway .. do you have it running normally ? [20:24] sambagirl-> just for comparison, about how much ballpark figure they charge you for that? in my area something like that is about 450 bux [20:24] hi all [20:24] Gnea is group ok [20:24] Phoenix87: it looks just fine to me - are you sure it's not a graphics card configuration issue? [20:24] sambagirl, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit scroll down to 32 vs 64 bit [20:24] <|Chrizz|> nube: I just installed it in the synaptic package installer, It should be working normally [20:24] it says 2 x Intel Xeon DP CPU's [20:25] Gnea i don't know [20:25] sambagirl, what is the make and model please [20:25] ok hwilde [20:25] of what whilde? [20:25] the motherboard? [20:25] Hey, I just updated from hardy to intrepid, and XGL no longer works. Where do I start on this one? [20:25] sambagirl, the server, ot yeah the motherboard would tell us [20:25] but i think the problem begins prior to graphics card module loading [20:25] it is a used erack i just purchased from ebay [20:25] savid: are you on ati? [20:25] what is app i have apt-get again that allows me to control speed of processor with CPU Frequency Monitor? [20:25] Phoenix87: well, what video card do you have? [20:26] this is my first hour on linux [20:26] |Chrizz|: try running "emerald --replace &" from a terminal to start it .. [20:26] brane: awesome :) [20:26] but i don't see a link between graphics card and sudo [20:26] i was 25 years on windoes [20:26] ati radeon x1600 [20:26] sudobash: cpufreq ? [20:26] worked fine [20:26] jim_p, intel [20:26] uhm [20:26] well dont worry about it it isnt that important i suppose. [20:26] i told you i was installing printer driver [20:26] so...anybodey who can help me [20:26] savid: remove the module and reload it? [20:26] maybe some kernel module has been deleted [20:26] Phoenix87: sudo seems to be just fine, it's just not loading up the GUI [20:27] sambagirl, will if it's not 64bit hardware, then you can't install the 64bit OS on it [20:27] Phoenix87: the printer wouldn't cause gdm to not load. [20:27] ok hwilde [20:27] sambagirl, but 2 x 32bit CPUs does not add up to a 64bit CPU. it's the memory architecture [20:27] well i will just use the normal 8.1 desktop [20:27] Hi you all Ubunters! I have a GeForce2 MX/MX 400 graphics card, which is quite crappy and compiz runs quite slow. I wanna purchase another graphics card that makes compiz fly. Which one do you recommend me arround 100$? [20:27] i think so [20:27] how do I tell what module xorg is currently using? [20:27] sambagirl, how much ram does it have [20:27] what else should i check [20:27] is there any way to transfer music that has been downloaded through WMP to 8.10? [20:27] brane you are not that far off, if you have done dos, then linux will not be overly difficult, command line is your friend [20:27] savid, lsmod [20:27] brane: go ahead and spit your problem on out, and someone will gladly try to help you [20:27] that has encryption [20:27] well i dont know if they are 32bit cpus or not to be honest. i just took a guess [20:27] 2 gig of ram. [20:28] a 80 gig drive [20:28] sambagirl, sounds like 32bit. [20:28] bonsoir à tous [20:28] brane: in case i have missed it, what is your problem?

Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM.

[20:36] hwilde, wat? :D [20:37] http://linux.duke.edu/projects/kibot/download/ [20:37] is there a way I can do a system wide search in case files been moved? [20:37] should I try installing the .tar.gz files from http://linux.duke.edu/projects/kibot/download/ instead of the rpm? [20:37] andrew__, it's probably a variabl bitrate mp3. if you can re-record or remaster it to a fixed bitrate that will fix it [20:37] another question is this. i bought this cable to use a laptop as a console to a sun 240 enterprise server that i never got to login to, but cant i use a laptop as a console for the linux 1u server? i have a thinkpad here. i know i cant use my macbook because it doesnt have any video ports like that. [20:37] anyone heard of a specific fix for the Intrepid/gnome-bluetooth issue? I've installed Obexftp and whatnot and no matter what devices are bonded, file transfer and browsing the bluetooth devices fail. At this point I can't seem to bond new devices the pin is never asked for. [20:37] Nergoth, /join #ubuntu+1 [20:37] ah, thx :) [20:38] sambagirl - there was some 32-bit setup I had to do to get some 64bit software working, but overall I'm loving it - have 4Gb ram installed too [20:38] sambagirl, you can use a serial cable but you have to get into the grub menu and add a few things [20:38] hwilde, its happens for all of my music, which should mostly be constant bitrate. i can actually recreate the problem by previewing 3D screensavers for example [20:38] I realize that this question may have been asked to death, but how do I get NetworkManager to save my static IP settings across reboots, or even across network enable/disable? [20:38] my kernel build is failing looking for arch/zen which doesnt exist, should i download it or disable it? [20:38] andrew__, oh nvrmnd then [20:38] scientes, download it. [20:38] so there is no way to play DRM encrypted (windows media) in 8.10? [20:38] FrancisN, you should try googling that. there are a lot of forum posts. [20:39] hwilde: I googled, a found a bunch of forum posts, but nobody appears to have found a solution other than to kill it [20:39] FrancisN, yeah I dunno [20:40] well this was for solaris but i will just use a normal vga monitor for the mean time. but i would enjoy using the thinkpad. i have a usb 802.11. ubuntu should recognize it at this point and maybe i can go in throught like that with either my mac or pc using remote connect? [20:40] andrew__: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-321195.html [20:40] no ideas about the sound issue? i dont wanna uninstall pulseaudio or something, cause ive had bad experiences with sound [20:41] do you think that is a good server for me to do my project with hwilde? [20:41] sudo do-release-upgrade is telling me there is no upgrade [20:41] i dont understand why it is so big tho?

[20:44] well it also involves beos/zeta but i wont discuss that aspect of the project. give me a minute... [20:45] Gnea no luck [20:45] sudo -i gives the very same error: can't open /etc/sudoers [20:46] is there a way to access the repository of a newer release for just a single program? or do I have to either upgrade, or install the program manually? [20:46] ActionParsnip: that's a nice post, but i do have the 'basics' convered [20:46] i am looking for a visual merge tool [20:46] the more i think about it i need a 2nd one to run the other part of my project so it can handle beos/zeta functionality..

The operating system is ubuntu [20:55] bauer_: sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 [20:55] it will doing alot of video/audio streaming on the linux side. beos/zeta side will be strictly audio streaming. [20:55] I can't install gimpshop_2.2.11-1_i386.deb. error: wrong architecture [20:56] of the project so to speak. meaning 2 separate units.

[20:57] !ircd [20:57] zsquareplusc: yea there is no isolinux directory in that file. only isolinux.bin on the foot directory [20:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about ircd [20:57] i see the studio version of ubuntu i wonder if that would be a better choice then just ubuntu desktop? [20:57] roo* [20:57] !unrealircd [20:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about unrealircd [20:57] root* [20:57] Some_ux: yes, most drivers are loaded automatically and not laoded if not needed. there may be some network setup and the numbering of the interfaces might change (if you now have 2) but that shuld be easy to fix after the reboot [20:57] jin: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [20:57] Some_ux: if the card is not present in the mobo the module wont load at startup [20:57] any helpfull guide for setup ircd server ?

[21:22] Schoen|Attic: it is really easy [21:23] for shutdown it goes like this sudo -s enter then he asks for password but then a window pops up and ask the password and i don't want that [21:23] KillerOrca: cp [21:23] i just downloaded a new logon screen, where do i put it so i can use it?

[21:23] but that is what i don't want xD [21:23] KillerOrca: just plug them both in and either change grub or make sure the new one is in the same position as the old [21:24] Schoen|Attic: maybe change the permissions of the script [21:24] great idea [21:24] chubs: well new HD has an old win XP install on it [21:24] but i try that later need to shower === Schoen|Attic is now known as Schoen|AFK [21:24] * Schoen|AFK is now away.

The new flash plugin segfaults. =( [21:26] chubs: my system couldn't install with the normal livecd, will it be fine to partition with it? [21:26] KillerOrca: why could it not install? [21:26] chubs: I got ubuntu to install, but had to use one of the alternate CDs [21:27] how do I read the: /var/log/wtmp log? [21:27] KillerOrca: and why did you have to do that? low on ram? [21:27] jeebster: there is just .exe in website i need tar file for linux [21:27] chubs: Yeah, like 128 MB ram and a 800 MHz P3 meant alternate install [21:28] Please help...

[21:28] darkhamm, theres other tools that can change the label also [21:29] LoveGuru: protip: if you have to run ./configure on something it (usually) implies building it yourself, esp. if you have "make" after it - get the source package - it *is* there [21:29] KillerOrca: ahh. well if the livecd runs you can partition with it no problem, i'm not sure how easy it is to partition with the alternate cd, i would assume you can get to cfdisk but don't have much experience with it. I'd recommend the gparted livecd for partitioning if you have a blank disc to spare [21:29] porter1: not the 64bit alpha. [21:29] Could anyone tell me where to find diferent "verisions" of pidgid? ive seen some different but i simply dont know where to find em [21:29] LoveGuru: also, you probably need all the stuff to build it, too bad I don't remember the name of the package which has most packages for that :/ [21:29] !partition | KillerOrca [21:29] KillerOrca: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [21:30] in gnome-panel inactive tasks have transparent icons [21:30] how do you disable that?

There's a way to definitely change GDM language to en-US? [21:31] LoveGuru: wine or dosbox [21:31] how do you disable the transparent task icons in gnome-panel is the question [21:31] LoveGuru: Don't be blind, it has the damn 3.2.7 Source link on the main page D: [21:31] Dear team Linux, I have had no luck in finding a solution to my problem loading ubuntu 8.10 after install, which I have now posted up -http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=985630 - I have genuinely searched and searched for help, and have spoken to a few people who've sadly been unable to find the root of my problems. ANYONE got any suggestions before I admit defeat? [21:31] chubs, I tried the alpha, but it seems to be giving me segfaults. I guess it's not completely working for everyone then? [21:31] Ah! >> gksudo gnome-language-selector [21:32] chubs: I have a disc to spare, but can it also format/partition the replacement drive with XP? === ForsakenSoul is now known as ForsakenSoulZzz [21:32] porter1: it is an alpha, so no. but i've not heard yet of someone else receiving segfaults because of it [21:32] jeebster: ya i got the link but what i m saying is.. its just exe package not a tar [21:32] LoveGuru: Also, if you cannot find it I'm not sure you're up to administrating an IRC server, moreso a public one. [21:32] KillerOrca: yes, just resize the xp partition first [21:33] Hmm. It seems to be working fine with the adobe website === chrisl is now known as chrisl04 [21:33] chubs: No, I want to use the whole disk, I already moved that XP install to a larger HDD === chrisl04 is now known as ultraviolet9 [21:33] KillerOrca: well then it's even easier, and you can actually partition it right inside of ubuntu if you'd like [21:34] LoveGuru: Don't be an idiot -.- http://www.unrealircd.com/downloads.php > select the 3.2.7 (Source) > France > Download - Also, Look at the Downloads list - it's the most upper of them D: [21:35] chubs: K, will there be some kind of wizard for that? [21:35] I'm having a problem where the system bell is ringing when I press a key and scroll lock is lit whenever I switch from X to a virtual terminal. I've never seen this before. Any idea what's causing it? An initial search couldn't find anything. [21:35] Hi htere [21:35] chubs, thanks for the help. I guess it just depends on the flash. Most everything seems to working much better though. =) [21:36] I've just tried to install Ubuntu Server 8.10 on my machine from a boot CD, and when I try to install it, it asks for a media change in the midst of the base system install. [21:36] Does anyone know why this is? [21:36] KillerOrca: the gparted program should be pretty straightforward. i'm not aware of any wizard, just make sure it's not mounted and partition away [21:36] porter1: no problem, glad it works [21:37] There was no problem with the CD [21:37] my ubuntu 8.10 install simply will not load and the only problem I have managed to diagnose is that my BIOS keeps swapping my HDD's round, however the grub menu.lst has the correct UUID in place so surely my juggling Hard drives shouldn't make a difference? Is this my problem or should I be looking elsewhere? [21:37] chubs: ok, which drive should not be mounted? [21:37] It's asking me this: Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu-Server 8.10 -Intrepid Ibex- Release i386 (20081028.1)' and press enter [21:37] toolbox, are you mixing in usb drives? or some other unusual hardware/controller cards?

Did an install from the LiveCD to dual boot with XP [21:38] jeebster: thats the problem i msaying [21:38] CasperOrillian: i'm afraid it can only be done with a bit of manual work... i.e. move the home directory, edit /etc/passwd [21:39] toolbox, how many hard drives do you have? are they all sata? [21:39] oh [21:39] KillerOrca: you can type mount in a terminal. the app will also not let you partition if it's mounted [21:39] i might jsut make anew user and set that to admin [21:39] my husband's computer is typing double letters with each keystroke, it was fine last night but today both keyboards are doing it ?! [21:39] Dr_willis, they are all sata, and there are four of them [21:39] greetings Dr_willis :) [21:39] \list [21:39] DANGER DANGER [21:39] chubs: thanks a lot; also is there a way to get around the restart required by some updates from the package manager? [21:40] toolbox, the only time ive seen sata drives 'jump around' is if i use my machines special boot option to boot a specific drive.. that one then becomes sda, but you are rigth with the uuid stuff.. the order shouldent matter. [21:40] Sorry, I'm new to this IRC channel [21:40] KillerOrca: no.

[21:46] jeebster, player to play movies [21:46] jin, there are better players for linux than vlc [21:46] CasperOrillian: you add them to the "admin" group. can be done from the Preferences also. [21:46] jin: drag and drop works for me [21:46] i would reccommend MPlayer (SMPlayer) [21:46] Not sure what that means. It's an Asus Eee netbook. [21:46] which supports drag and drop [21:46] eh, mplayer isn't Free. :( [21:46] jin, I as well would like to recommend building mplayer from the svn :) [21:46] I set my desktop (running 8.10) to show text during boot with SUM, and it gives me a very quickly flowing stream of unreadable text that doesn't seem to end. I've booted up from my 8.10 USB disk. Is there any way I can manually change that setting back? [21:47] apeiron: depends on what country you live in, right ? [21:47] heh wut? [21:47] CasperOrillian: Do you mean root? [21:47] apeiron: it isn't? which part? [21:47] Obadobo: Asus makes the EeePC (a netbook) and the EeeBox (a small desktop) [21:47] It is [21:47] mhh this is weird. using the standard interface , it works. but ot if I am using a theme [21:47] why? [21:47] It's not. [21:47] Not even that [21:47] It's not in Universe. [21:47] I install intrepid, my daughter for my password so I changed, however it only will allow admin duties to be preformed with the old password how do I fix this? [21:47] Oh, I see. It's the pc then. [21:47] One has to add multiverse to install it. [21:47] !info mplayer [21:47] mplayer (source: mplayer): The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In component multiverse, is extra.

[21:48] Hm, I thought vlc was Free. [21:48] GNU recommends it and all. [21:48] can anyone help me with the new networkmanager applet? [21:48] WEll, FSF [21:48] But it has nothing to do with free or not free D: [21:48] but, as software patents arent valid in most countries, you can see it as free in all those [21:48] apeiron: It's the damn same libs used D: [21:48] jeebster, Right. I was mistaken. [21:48] And VLC fails even more than mplayer [21:48] * apeiron shrugs, uses totem [21:49] lol [21:49] apeiron, if you want to read a patented format, you need to break patents - at least in certain countries. no way to get around that. [21:49] mplayer is the way to go on *nix [21:49] * jonathon_ hello everyone [21:49] i second that, jeebster [21:49] LjL, Right. I was just mistaken regarding vlc's Free status. [21:49] slart you there? i do mean root [21:49] !root > CasperOrillian [21:49] CasperOrillian, please see my private message [21:49] VLC is great, but not under *nix [21:49] apeiron: It's not about "free" [21:49] CasperOrillian: I'm here.. although I guess you meant to address someone else [21:50] It's about patents [21:50] LjL: many patents, especially software, would not survive a court examination [21:50] pw-: it's not great anywhere else either [21:50] jeebster, Free includes patents, in my mind. [21:50] Hate to pester people, but what could it be that stops me from entering text at the gdm login screen after upgrade to 8.10? I installed xdm to see if that was the problem, but that's just the same. [21:50] jeebster, i have no problems with it on my windows box [21:50] Frogzoo: that's another matter, in the meanwhile, they exist, and they "force" ubuntu to put stuff in multiverse [21:50] FYI, I'm having an installation problem trying to get Ubuntu Server 8.10 on my system [21:50] Rusty0918: what is the problem? [21:50] apeiron: it doesnt, in most peoples mind [21:51] Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu-Server 8.10 -Intrepid Ibex8 Release i386 (20081028.1)' and press enter.

[21:55] Rusty0918: so when you put the disk in how far into the install does it go before you get the error [21:55] BULLE_ - Not sure if its the kernel, think its the new network manager (some options seem to be missing) [21:55] *googd ol googoe [21:55] About 73% [21:55] It's during the base system install [21:55] apeiron, they don't control the free'ness of the app itself, which is completely written by the developers of it. The only reason they're not in the main is because Ubuntu likes not to get into trouble because of software patents in some idiotic countries. In your world, enjoy OGG Vorbis and the Theora video and nothing else :) [21:55] not all vlc skins support drag and drop :( [21:56] Rusty0918: also, does the disk have a menu option to check the cd?

[21:59] can anyone help me install wireless drivers for ubuntu 8.10 on an eee pc [21:59] jin, smplayer had a pretty good gui, although I don't know if you even need one for it :3 [21:59] Slart: huh well, i don't know anything about packaging :) [21:59] I would still try burning the cdrom again from the source iso (make sure the checksum is correct on the ISO too) just to make sure its not a problem with the media [22:00] elvirolo: what better way to learn? ;) [22:00] OK [22:00] mplayer is really good without the gui, no need for it so to say.

[22:04] KurtKraut, And other programs record fine? [22:04] until last week, i used exclusively KDE, so i had amarok... but Kubuntu is so badly polished that i decided to give gnome a shot [22:04] apeiron: actually, none of them record. But I can clearly hear my voice back from the speakers. [22:04] jeebster, it works perfect. even better than VLC :-) [22:04] apeiron: but even if Audacity were recording, it would still crash [22:04] I think I have to say goodbye to VLC [22:05] subtitle/audio selection is even easier :-) [22:05] jin: I would've not tried to tell you it's good otherwise ;) [22:05] KurtKraut, I've got the Ubuntustudio stuff installed, I'm sure there's something similar. Just gotta find it. [22:05] VLC just tries to be a player [22:05] I am using a KVM switch between a ubuntu and win box, but the ubuntu screen is too far to one-side, I adjust it, but the win screen is then too far to the other side, any ideas?

[22:06] Also, jin - I'd really recommend you to at least build the mplayer part of smplayer yourself :) [22:06] KillerOrca, you could just ahve ubuntu share the desktop , and access it from the windows box with a vnc viewer. [22:06] chazco: http://crunchbang.org/archives/2007/12/18/configure-wireless-on-the-command-line/ [22:06] hm. 8.10 really doesn't like me :) [22:06] KillerOrca, this is a crt or lcd? Ive seen similer issues in the past with different os's using different rates./ === torc is now known as serial [22:06] jeebster, why? it's working great. I only play ISO's and avi/H.264 with it [22:06] Dr_willis: well the boxes are literally right next to each other, it is a CRT [22:06] how do i place trash on my desktop?? [22:06] Because those guys really don't want to make "stable" releases any more, basically "newer = more stable" is the way in multimedia oo software usually [22:06] KurtKraut, Most of the things I'm seeing use jack. [22:07] KurtKraut, So see if you can get jack working. [22:07] does /home have to be on an ext3 partition? im wanting it to be on a fat32 partition [22:07] im trying to work on a laptop in California but it is on wifi and keeps lagging bad [22:07] nintendork32: that will cause problems [22:07] nintendork32, ewww, why? [22:07] nintendork32: not a good idea [22:07] dont try to upgrade an OS from 3000 miles away [22:07] jin: 1) the decoding etc. support has gotten even better, ordered chapters support and ASS rendering has gotten better [22:07] KillerOrca, some crt's are just that way.. ive seen it with dualbooting also.. I dont use crts any more.. so cant really say much more on the topic, other then check the refresh-rates or other monitor settings.. be sure they are identical on both os's [22:07] ok i wont [22:07] also, jin - H.264 in AVI is eww D: [22:08] KillerOrca, kvm's often cause some issues with ubuntu ive seen several other people in here with monitor/setting issues due to using KVM's [22:08] ill put it on an ext3 partition [22:08] nintendork32: do you need to share data with a windows install? is that the issue? [22:08] i would like to know, what usb stick wlan is reconized by default by ubuntu ? [22:09] ^_^ [22:09] Dr_willis: well it seems to not be the KVM, I had the ubuntu box on another monitor before I moved it to the switch and put another computer on the old monitor and the screen was also too far to one side [22:09] KillerOrca, the last crt i used that had similer issues.. just had to hit the 'auto-fix' button.. yep. it was an annoyance. [22:10] VSpike I plan to reinstall windows with dual boot [22:10] KillerOrca, I got a similer issue on my OLD imacDV under Linux.. I cant even adjust it under linux. I loose like 4 letters to the left on the console. :( [22:10] nintendork32: you can use an ext2 IFS driver for windows to access ext2/3 [22:10] i'm looking for a good amarok equivalent for gnome but i can't make up my mind [22:10] !player | elvirolo [22:10] elvirolo: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [22:10] Does anyone know anything about SUM? [22:10] how do you change the permission of a program? [22:11] GT: like when you add two numbers? Ask a better question [22:11] Schoen|Attic: why? [22:11] Dr_willis: I wish I had an auto-fix button, I just see a reset one [22:11] synaptic is getting very slow on downloading software. is there any mirror i could use? [22:11] Question, where is a linux application that you can test out your 'esc' key? [22:11] jrib: yes i tried all of these, but none of them are quite as good as amarok [22:11] nintendork32: alternatively, put /home on ext3 and create a shared fat32 partition, and symlink into it from home for Music, Videos, Pictures etc. [22:11] cordor: system -> administration -> software sources [22:11] jrib: SUM, Start-up Manager, it's an acronym. Thus the capital letters. [22:11] i have to try something with a program that has to shutdown my computer [22:11] elvirolo: why not just use amarok then? [22:12] GT: yes, but you still need to ask a better question :) [22:12] Can someone try out the program xev and tell me if it registers their escape key? [22:12] jrib: because it looks awful under gnome ^^ [22:12] ftp=VSpike: Simlink? [22:12] nikitis: YES [22:12] nikitis, yes it does [22:12] Rats [22:12] jrib: I've tried asking a better question, and no one's replied. I'm generalizing my search. [22:12] VSpike woops didnt mean for that ftp stuff [22:12] cause my escape key doesn't work anymore :( [22:12] !anyone | GT, this is why: [22:12] GT, this is why:: 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? [22:12] jrib: "Does anyone know anything about what configuration files SUM writes to, or how to solve the Unexpected IRQ trap problem?" [22:12] acedently hit ctrl+v [22:13] well bbl [22:13] GT: yes, ask that [22:13] jrib: thanks [22:13] how do you change the permission of a program? [22:13] Schoen|Attic: why? [22:13] i have to try something with a program that has to shutdown my computer [22:13] but it needs root^^ [22:13] Schoen|Attic: so? [22:14] !who | Schoen|Attic [22:14] Schoen|Attic: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:14] I got a pretty good crash when my screensaver kicked in. Screen filled with garbage. Bullet proof X kicked in and bascially interfered since it kept jumping me out of console and it too was filled with garbage. Also, console was squashed and repeated 4 times across the screen. Had to reboot in the end. http://pastebin.com/m2b933433 - can anything useful be drawn from these logs? Should I report a bug? [22:14] \hi all [22:14] how could I run the netwotk manager applet by hand [22:15] cause i can 't see it on the task basr [22:15] aLeSD: nm-applet [22:15] bar [22:15] jrib thanks [22:15] how does ubuntu deal with more then 4 gigs of ram? [22:15] Dominik: fine on 64 bit or with PAE on the 32 bit server kernel [22:16] jrib: on 32 bit... dunno if im ready to move to 64 (unaware of the implications) [22:16] what usb stick wlan is reconized by default in ubuntu ? [22:16] Dominik: you aren't going to see all 4gb of ram on the 32bit desktop version [22:17] how can I remove bind dns server from ssh? what command should i issue as root [22:17] jrib: isn't there some sort of extension? I know that windows can assign every thread 4 gigs seperatly, is there no equivalent under linux? [22:18] jrib: and is the 4 gig limit per core, per cpu, or per system? [22:18] to be honest maybe i can configure my usb wlan stick [22:18] i used the ndiswrapper [22:18] with the drivers [22:18] vpereira: anything with a ralink chipset should be good [22:18] hey I am having problems with printer setup -- keeps asking me for a root password on localhost. What is local host and how do I find out the root password [22:18] Dominik: you probably want PAE. That's not used by default. Why don't you use 64bit if you really need the 4gb? [22:18] Dr_willis: Welll I messed around with my refresh rate and resolution, seems to have done something [22:18] gravemind: using cups? [22:18] my drivers are installed, hardware reconized [22:18] does anyone know if Photoshop CS4 works in ubuntu? [22:18] !appdb > R00sterJuice [22:18] but if i do ifconfig wlan0 it dont find the interface.. [22:18] R00sterJuice, please see my private message [22:18] VSpike: does the ubuntu gui use cups? If so, yes [22:18] with wine or whatever [22:19] VSpike: I really have no idea what I'm doing [22:19] jrib: PAE? and what are the implications of going to 64 I thought that the programs are NOT backwards compatible [22:19] gravemind: have you tried just typing in your own password? [22:19] Dominik: for the desktop user you'll just have to used the icedtea plugin for java instead of sun's because they don't have one out [22:20] jrib: so all my programs will work fine? even MS Word emulated through wine? [22:20] GT: you can probably use strace if you are desperate. Or 'dpkg -L whatever_package_sum_is_in | grep /etc' [22:20] is it normal ? i installed my drivers using ndiswrapper, i modprobed, its reconized and the hardware is present.. why i cannot do a ifconfig in my wlan0 ? [22:20] Dominik: should, yes [22:20] jrib: also what is the hardware limitation up to now adays? [22:20] Dominik: I use wine fine, same as in 32bit [22:21] vpereira: try ifconfig -a if it's there sudo ifconfig up [22:21] Dominik: on the amount of ram you mean? [22:21] vpereira: is it called something other than wlan 0 [22:21] jrib: yea, I think its 64 gigs... ? [22:21] Dominik: no idea === zaphod is now known as Guest74754 [22:21] ok i am on the live disk how should i partition my disk to have /home on a separate partition [22:21] VSpike: yeah but that didn't work. I don't even think I have a root password. maybe localhost does, but I don't know what it is [22:21] jrib: I can install a 32 bit system on 64 bit hardware, right? [22:22] how can I make my wireless connection connect at boot rather then when I log into the gui? [22:22] i will check it [22:22] wait guys [22:22] Dominik: yes [22:22] Can someone help me?

[22:23] will a .exe work from crucial for scanning my RAM or no? [22:23] jrib: I killed it ... iow could I start it another time ? [22:23] wilsonnck after i partition it i do the rest on my normal install correct? [22:23] KillerOrca: use wine [22:23] not on live disk? [22:23] aLeSD: I don't know. I'm guessing just running the command again gives you some error? [22:23] gravemind: and at other time the questions are harder?

[22:24] ole: go ahead and ask your question [22:24] jin: i like gimp :-p [22:24] jj_galvez: most questions are too hard [22:24] jrib, I don't like its interface [22:24] aLeSD: just add '& disown' to the end of the command [22:24] recon69: but that would suggest a limit per core, right?

Partition manager says it cant partition under 2 something gigs, any reason why?

[23:24] I am using Ubuntu with gnome [23:24] Rosalie: its only in the name becouse amd designed the 64 bits eextensions for x86 cpus [23:24] Slart but how do i make the partition visible, i tried gparted on all different formats but still no dice [23:24] me 2 [23:24] chrisl: oskar-: It looks like your issue is with Windows itself. You'll need to repair the Windows bootloader and then probably restore grub after that. [23:24] Every once in a while in Ubuntu 8.10, sound seems to just stop working.

[23:26] sjdurfey: may be a workaraund ? [23:26] jrib: the error on boot was something like screens improperly configured. yes this is the current one (I think hardware drivers changes it when it fails silently) [23:26] * sjdurfey doesnt know how to do that [23:26] MTecknology: Vista [23:26] does anyone have any idea how to get input from a mic on an HP laptop? for some reason its just not working [23:27] rebel is it muted somewhere?

[23:27] jrib: no, but I can be [23:27] cynicality: when you get ' Device is being used by another application' you can just kill the pluseaudio process using system->admin->system monitor and that will get the audio back , no need for reboot. as far as i know the problem is with how ubuntu setup pulse audio. i get the same behaviour you describe [23:27] jrib: can u help me [23:27] oskar-: There's a boot directory, but no bootmgr [23:27] Slart i just want windows to read the Hard Drive [23:27] oskar-: WTF, when I ran the Vista DVD it said it fixed that! [23:27] chrisl: You can boot to the Vista install DVD and choose a repair option there. It'll fix your boot process. Once you repair it and have Vista booting, then go back and restore GRUB. Also... Vista tends to freak out if it's on anything other than partition 0 of drive 0 [23:27] M3RLIN1: why? what are you compiling? [23:28] rosalie, volume control has all volumes at max and the microphone box checked [23:28] chrisl: try to get that file there... maybe it is because of this [23:28] MTecknology: But I ran the DVD earlier but it didn't fix it [23:28] jrib: im working on a little program in C++ language [23:28] for school [23:28] ARrrrrgh [23:28] gravemind: well I need you to pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log after X fails.

[23:29] jrib: what should i do it [23:29] M3RLIN1: not how I told you to do it [23:29] I am following this how to: http://preview.tinyurl.com/5omaxe , but I want to run proftpd from inetd rather than as a standalone, is the command different? when i run the command given (to start the server) I get the following error: ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd. [23:29] Ap0llo: well.. you can create a small partition using FAT32 or ntfs and put the files there when you're on linux.. windows can then read those files normally..

[23:40] Slart: it didnt.. but thanx anyways [23:41] mwhit74: Not all windows installs come with a recovery partition. Some computer manufacturers use it along with an OEM recovery disc. [23:41] any ideas RE: proftpd? [23:41] Uplink: well.. it was worth a try =) [23:41] prymal, what do you means about software sorry? My screen have that resolution now. [23:41] M3RLIN1: you could try #C++Newbie channel as well, if anyone is there i found them much more help as a beginner [23:41] cmdbbq: just repeat your question (after waiting ~15 minutes). No one has any clue what it is now [23:41] cmdbbq: that's what I always see used for ftp servers [23:41] Slart: are you familiar with conky? [23:41] ce e asta? [23:41] HI ALL [23:42] MTecknology, When i type that command i get no errors it just goes to the next line. is it installed then? [23:42] habit: some software does not support widescreen, check taht the package you're using does. [23:42] BlueEagle: thanks for the correction [23:42] anyone know a good alternative for peerguardian ps not very good at code, don't have time to fiddle with it [23:42] recon69: im in #C++ but no one say a word [23:42] MTecknology: how do i make conky stick to my left top side of my background? [23:42] MTecknology: http://pastebin.com/d7e122bd2 [23:42] chrisl: did you install vista first or ubuntu [23:42] Tr3y: Vista [23:42] clayX: probably - if you executed the file and it finished error free, it should be installed [23:42] prymal, I'm talking about bootsplash screen, you know, when ubuntu is loading. [23:42] I'm just reading some things here I never duel booted vista, but maybe I can find your issue lol [23:42] ok [23:42] what does the sh commmand do? [23:42] gravemind1: I'd say you should downgrade from the -proposed stuff and try again after [23:42] did ubuntu read vista ntfs partition on the install? [23:42] gravemind1: Your xorg.conf does show you're unable to load the nvidia kernel module. However lastlog does not have you asking a question. :) [23:42] prymal, progressbar, ubuntu logo. It looks stretched. [23:43] mrpockets: executes a bash script [23:43] mrpockets: runs the dash shell... [23:43] jrib: is there a way to do that all at once? [23:43] yar! [23:43] how do i unlock aptitute [23:43] gravemindirssi: is this a fresh install? [23:43] scientes: huh? [23:43] jrib: no. I think I first installed it as gutsy. Or it might have been feisty [23:43] chrisl: You switched the drives somewhere - I'm almost entirely certain [23:43] OK here's the error I'm getting: Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu-Server 8.10 -Intrepid Ibex8 Release i386 (20081028.1)' and press enter. I'm running this off a burned CD-R with the image on it. [23:43] anyone know of a good torrent manager [23:43] Does anyone know of a supported way to hook into NetworkManager's writing of the resolv.conf to add custom settings? [23:43] mwhit74: manager? [23:43] MTecknology: Well how do I fix it? [23:43] !torrent [23:43] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [23:44] chrisl: when you installed ubuntu and got to the partitions part did the ntfs patition show up [23:44] mrpockets: sh starts a shell. See /bin/sh [23:44] Tr3y: yes [23:44] ohhh did you change your boot order in your bios at all/ [23:44] I tried downloading a another image [23:44] just thought of that that can mess up grub I know that from experience lol [23:44] chrisl: I could answer that easier if you could accurately tell me what you did [23:44] gravemindirssi: well I was going to say you could just reinstall if that was the case. There's some command you can use, but I don't remember what it was. I have to search my logs as I don't feel like figuring it out again. One sec [23:44] Tr3y: It boots to sda [23:44] Compared the md5 stuff and it matched [23:44] sybarite1: yea i think thats what its called like utorrent for windows [23:44] Checked the CD for errors prior to installation, there aren't any [23:44] MTecknology: What do you mean "switched drives" ? [23:44] is there a way to shut down the computer automatically while its in sleep? [23:44] But it keeps asking me to change the dang media! [23:44] GRRR [23:44] jrib: thanks :) [23:45] for example if i want to sleep for 8 hours but then after that shutdown can i do that? [23:45] chrisl: I know when I duel booted I had grub configured for hd0 and hd1 from install of bsd once [23:45] so like if i go on vacation i want the computer to shut down after a while so I don't waste electricity [23:45] but when I switched the order from booting from cd [23:45] I was wondering if anyone could help me with my PC. After a while, it will freeze and have to be manually reset. When it comes back up, it will freeze again. It will continue to do this until the computer is shut down for a minute. Then it works again. Any idea? [23:45] but then if i wake up it should be in sleep [23:45] the hd0 and hd1 got swapped [23:45] !cronjob [23:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about cronjob [23:45] mwhit74: ok most people just call it clients i think... personally i run rtorrent, because its very linux-adapted [23:45] !cron [23:45] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [23:45] in a way [23:45] MTecknology: how do i make conky stick to my left top side of my background? [23:45] chrisl: Pull out the drive you have Ubuntu on. Put the drive Vista is on at the end of the cable in your case. Boot to a Vista DVD. Do the recovery. Tell us if Vista boots. [23:46] natalie: sounds like a temperature issue. [23:46] OK can anyone be of assistance here to me? [23:46] but now that I think of it that won't make sense either because your getting into ubuntu just fine right? [23:46] Uplink: You manage all conky configs in ~/.conkyrc [23:46] natalie: are all your fans working as they should? [23:46] ok [23:46] natalie, I had that problem, turns out my heatsink wasn't attached tight enough [23:46] sybarite1: rtorrent.... ill have to check it out, is it alot like utorrent, and do you know of a program like peerguardian for windows but something where i dont have to fiddle with the code [23:47] BlueEagle: Yes [23:47] Uplink: I don't have my conky config anymore else I'd give it to you [23:47] nuit!! [23:47] natalie: Are, as csilk points out, all your heatsinks attatched correctly? [23:47] Hey can anyone be of assistance here to me? [23:47] MTecknology: oh man... can you help me get the basics? [23:47] !anyone | Rusty0918 [23:47] Sorry [23:47] Rusty0918: 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? [23:47] M3RLIN1: try ##c++newbie channel, if anyone there they much more helpful. [23:47] OK [23:48] BlueEagle, you could of asked me that same quesiton and I would of said yes, chances are it's something he/she thinks is ok but really isn't [23:48] BlueEagle, csilk: As far as I can tell, they appear to be. It doesn't come off easily, nor have I tried to remove it. [23:48] I am following this how to: http://preview.tinyurl.com/5omaxe , but I want to run proftpd from inetd rather than as a standalone, is the command different? when i run the command given (to start the server) I get the following error: ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd. [23:48] Uplink: http://conky.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html - use the conkyrc link below the images to get that [23:48] gravemindirssi: here is what I came up with for -backports: apt-get install $(for package in $(aptitude -F '%p' search '~Aintrepid-backports~i'); do echo -n ${package}'/intrepid ' ; done) Unfortunately, I now see a mistake. Namely that it won't install from intrepid-updates or intrepid-security if they exist. I guess it might work but you need to run an upgrade afterwards. Give me some minutes [23:48] natalie, how long can you stay booted before it freezes? [23:48] natalie: You have, however checked that bothe your psu-, gpu- and cpu-fans are working as they should? [23:48] mwhit74: no i honestly wouldnt say its like uTorrent, rtorrent is very much built to be run command-line... and on a server... a headless box [23:49] I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server 8.10. I checked the md5 signature and it matches the one provided on the ubuntu site. I do a CD check to make sure everything is all right with the CD. But when I try to install it, when it installs the base systems (near the end of the installation) - I get this: Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu-Server 8.10 -Intrepid Ibex8 Release i386 (20081028.1)' and press enter. I'm running this off [23:49] if sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper flashplugin-nonfree installs files, what uninstalls those files [23:49] I have a question about getting vidalia to work with ubuntu 8.10, any takers? [23:49] #ubuntu-cn [23:49] hi [23:49] clayX: apt-get remove? [23:49] how could i install javac in ubuntu? [23:49] hi mib [23:49] natalie, turn on and sit in the bios, watch the cpu temp and see if it gets too hight after X amount of time. [23:49] i tried sudo apt-get install javac but cant find the packagew === cyberjackal is now known as jackal [23:49] csilk, So long as I do nothing but let it sit, almost indefinitely. It only does that if I do something on it [23:49] mib, javac isn't a package [23:50] csilk: see also: man apt-get [23:50] BlueEagle, no ? i assume [23:50] sybarite1: ok prolly not what i am looking for then i just dont have time to learn the code [23:50] hm.then how could i install. [23:50] Uplink: lol - those samples are enough to make me start using conky again [23:50] csilk, okay, I will try that. [23:50] I have a weird problem: I've just installed postfix+dovecot but now neither /var/run/dovecot/auth-master nor /var/spool/postfix/private/auth - aren#t they supposed to be there? [23:50] BlueEagle, man apt-get < meant for someone else I think [23:50] I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu Sever 8.10 [23:50] Off a CD-R [23:50] MTecknology: looks good huh!? lol! [23:50] apt cache search javac [23:50] csilk: it was. Happy tab-complete-day [23:50] :) [23:50] javac --ver [23:50] The program 'javac' can be found in the following packages [23:50] hehe [23:50] clayX: man apt-get [23:50] mwhit74: and as for peerguardian, i have never used that under windows, real men take their copyright related fines and legal fees without a tear [23:50] Uplink: conkey-vert is pretty close to what I had before [23:50] BlueEagle, yes they appear to be working properly. [23:50] mib, what you trying to do? [23:50] conkey-vert? [23:51] im trying to compile java code [23:51] by using javac *.java but it cant compile. [23:51] mib, do you have the JDK installed? [23:51] Rusty0918: What is your problem? [23:51] Rusty0918: do you know how to checksum? See if you have a good cd [23:51] Uplink: http://conky.sourceforge.net/conky-vert.png [23:51] I did the md5 checksum on the CD [23:51] as far i recalled, it is because when i query man java.the page is displayed [23:51] the CD image [23:51] MTecknology: what about if i want it like that but plain white all the letters? [23:51] The hashes matched [23:52] hello sinners [23:52] Uplink: look at the config file [23:52] mib, do you have the JDK installed? [23:52] how to check anyway? [23:52] Rusty0918: okay, so what was the problem? [23:52] Rusty0918: hmm well if you're having problems with the cdr it may not have burned properly. Did you burn it with something that verifies afterwards? [23:52] MTecknology: thats a BIG config lol [23:52] I did gravemindirissi [23:52] gravemindirssi: ah. I think I see a decent solution. You might be able to just use /intrepid-security, then /intrepid-updates, then /intrepid and get everything after three runs. Does that make sense? [23:52] java version "1.4.2-02" [23:52] Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02) [23:52] Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02, mixed mode) [23:52] Uplink: imagine being the one that made it [23:52] I had it verify the disk afterward [23:52] natalie: Very good. Please try looking in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ and see if you have any files there that contains information about your cpus core temerature. [23:52] mib, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk (assuming you want v6) [23:53] mib, hello sinners [23:53] MTecknology: lol i feel you [23:53] heya! [23:53] Uplink: it's well commented though === mib_0iyhyh is now known as Omegaomni [23:53] jrib: yeah, I can do that [23:53] gravemindirssi: Yeah, I burn it with NERO Burning ROM, and I have the thing verify the disc after its burned. [23:53] MTecknology: forked to the background right? [23:53] Uplink: almost all of that is comments [23:53] so JDK and Java JRE are different thing? [23:53] Rusty0918: how old is the computer you are installing on? [23:53] I even do a CD integrity check when it boots from the CD and there aren't any problems (though I am getting some odd usb detection errors) [23:53] Uplink: ya - i think it does [23:53] is there a way i can set my keyboard layout preferences to system default? [23:53] MTecknology: yea i see.. but i dont know what forked to the bg means [23:53] mib: Java Development Kit, and Java Runtime Environment [23:53] Well it's an Intel Core 2 Quad [23:54] gravemindirssi: I should warn you that downgrading isn't supported by the way [23:54] mib, yes the JRE runs java apps and the JDK allow developement of java apps [23:54] 2 GB of RAM [23:54] Uplink: where do you see that? [23:54] yeah. i thought its related..hehe.sorry beeing noob [23:54] no worries [23:54] on the beginning of the conf file [23:54] Rusty0918: well cd drive problems would be odd then... I don't know -- maybe someone else can help [23:54] I've installed the desktop version and it works fine. But I need the server version, and it doesn't install [23:54] i installed more ram in my (ubuntu) home-server, and now i can't access my backup-drives. (pci-e sata-controller). lspci lists the device. wtf? [23:55] i run apt-get install nspluginwrapper flashplugin-nonfree, it says flash installed, but it didn't [23:55] jrib: I stand warned. What type of problems should I expect [23:55] i cannot play my original DVDs in Hardy, how can i resolve this? [23:55] I'm trying to run a website from my machine, so I need the server version to do that. But it's not working. [23:55] MTecknology: where do i put the config? [23:55] clayX: put about:plugins in the address bar of firefox [23:55] AS well as other necessities [23:55] gravemindirssi: I haven't seen any to be honest. Just make sure you read what apt-get is about to do to make sure it doesn't want to do something stupid [23:55] clayX: does it list flash? [23:56] Uplink: ~/.conkyrc [23:56] says no plugins are installed [23:56] rmn: manually loading the driver does not help? [23:56] csilk, are you still here? === jackal is now known as jackal_ [23:56] !dvd | rblst [23:56] rblst: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats === jackal_ is now known as jackal [23:56] has anyone getting problems with a working mic on skype? [23:57] MTecknology: how can i download the config directly to my ~/ with a command? [23:57] Uplink: man wget [23:57] MTecknology: wget! ty [23:57] i remember now :d [23:57] erUSUL, says no plugins are installed [23:57] :P [23:57] erUSUL, not something i am experienced with. how can i determine the correct name for the driver, and see if it is present? i have never had problems with rebooting [23:57] thx [23:57] I have a weird problem: I've just installed postfix+dovecot but now neither /var/run/dovecot/auth-master nor /var/spool/postfix/private/auth exist - aren't they supposed to be there? [23:57] rmn: what is the lspci line of the sata card? [23:57] erUSUL, mobo also has SATA, so if it's a generic driver it doesn't quite work [23:57] gravemidirssi: I've downloaded a second image after the first attempt failed and burned it onto a CD. I checked the ISO image md5 stuff to see if they matched and they did prior to burning it onto a CD. [23:58] erUSUL, 03:00.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3132 Serial ATA Raid II Controller (rev 01) [23:58] gravemidirssi: I also had it check the CD from one of the menu options that occurs before boot. [23:58] gravemindirssi: the command requires you to still have -proposed enabled by the way [23:58] hi, my entire screen became non responsive, so i had to do a manual, hard reboot. [23:58] is there a way to figure out what happened ? [23:58] MTecknology: hmm... how can i wget it to ~/.conkyrc ? [23:58] which logs should I look into, specifically ? [23:59] gravemidirssi: The CD checked out just fine. But in the base install sequence, it's giving me that Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu-Server 8.10 -Intrepid Ibex8 Release i386 (20081028.1)' and press enter. error [23:59] Uplink: just vim ~/.conkyrc and copy paste [23:59] rmn: driver is sata_sil24 run « lsmod | grep sata_sil » does it output something ?
