[00:02] brandon: I think you unpack it and then run the deb file with dpkg... I'm a noobie though so I could be wrong [00:02] I installed codeblocks for a while about six months ago and the process was... lengthy [00:02] Hi, I am trying to move my install from one HDD to another, and I found this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599599 but I am confused as to how to identify which HDD is which [00:03] <_Whipper> KillerOrca: i use a black marker..

[00:05] <`brandon`> let me guess i use it in terminal [00:05] `brandon`: open with and fill in gdebi as command [00:06] <`brandon`> ? [00:06] `brandon`: right click the deb and open with...

[00:09] Hi, need some help accessing mysql from another computer on the local network, I've been looking through the forums and trying various solutions people have written but the usual commenting of 'bind-address = 127.0.0.1" in my.conf is not working for some reason, so I tried disabling apparmor and fail2ban just incase they were blocking. No luck so far. The error I get using Sequel Pro from a mac is "MySQL said: Host 'Mac-G5.local' is not allowe [00:09] helper: it is source code, are you programmer? [00:09] how do you check what kind of cdrom you have? [00:09] model and make [00:10] x4d: if you do a sudo netstat -plnt | grep 3306, do you get any output? [00:10] jedi06, lshw from the terminal [00:10] EagleScreen no but check this : https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/303574 last one does this fix if i modify it like this ?

If you cannot connect, it may be a firewall issue [00:12] hacker_kid, : example : initrd /initrd.img-2.6.18-4-686 [00:12] no no, x4d is connecting fine, hence why mysql server is responding with the error [00:12] helper: a .c file is not a configuration file, it is source code file, so to take effect you have to recompile the software [00:12] if he wasn't connecting, there would be no response from the server. think about it [00:12] I have four applications open on start up. Is there a program which will control what workspace and position their window will be displayed at? [00:12] georgy_28, thank you [00:13] newchaos: that's what I was thinking... [00:13] newchaos: is there some settings in mysql to allow external addresses that I might have missed ? [00:13] x4d: when you are connecting, are you logging in as user@host, or just as user? [00:13] yes, I assume you can get to mysql as root from the local server? [00:13] EagleScreen ok then i need to go to the configuration file because i install package ndiwrapper now i remember so i can install usb wireless window's driver after that the problem maybe config where i can check shutdown config? [00:13] <`brandon`> how do i run codeblocks? [00:14] Ghoti_: I'm logging in with the root user to which I set a password [00:14] !root [00:14] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:14] x4d: are you logging in as root@hostname, or just as root? [00:14] whats the command for dpkg to force ignore dependencies?

[00:20] I untared my eclipse folder into home/myname/ and attempted to run ./eclipse once inside the eclipse folder but nothing happens... any suggestions? [00:20] You know, it would be nice if Synaptic showed screenshots of the packages and maybe hyperlinked back to their homepages. [00:20] sdwrage: try chmod +x 'ing it first [00:20] Squideshi: I think that's an idea in ubuntu brainstorm. [00:20] thx plasma [00:20] <_Whipper> Squideshi: not everybody has a 24MB broadband.. :) [00:20] /usr/share/example-content/Experience ubuntu.ogg <---don't have that file [00:21] k, im guessing thats a no, so im trying to run WoW on my laptop cause a friend wants me to, so ive been working on this all day, ive got it installed on WINE and everything but the problem is when i load i cant see the ground texture, it just doesnt exist. Can someone help? [00:21] !wine > all_ [00:21] !wine | Al1_ [00:21] I think he knows what wine is though [00:21] yes [00:22] its a compatibility layer [00:22] Yes. [00:22] i understand that... [00:22] everytime i turn off the sound in my laptop, i hear a crippling noise (maybe static) instead of sound. for example if i turn off the sound and start playing music, instead of silence i hear that noise. if i turn the music off the sound is gone [00:22] <_Whipper> bot seems to be a bit tired.. [00:22] plasmasheep, I accidently ran nohup ./eclipse & on it earlier... will that do anything? [00:22] The problem is not him. [00:22] For some reason Ubuntu Server isn't automagically connecting when i plug in my eth cable. [00:22] Al1_: 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 - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [00:22] sdwrage: I doubt it. Did you chmod it as executable? [00:22] ya hold on gotta check it [00:23] nah its not launching it [00:23] Al1_: wouldn't games run better in a virtualbox? just my 2 cents [00:23] i no what it is already, im using OpenGL to run WoW but i tried with D3D and it just locked [00:23] anyone know what channel i need for wine support? [00:23] For some reason Ubuntu Server isn't automagically connecting when i plug in my eth cable.

[00:25] christopher: what annoying beeping? I don't hear anything :) [00:25] plasmasheep, if I knew that I wouldnt be asking :P [00:25] lol [00:25] PlasmaSheep: nope, they dont even have a guide for it [00:25] PlasmaSheep: yea the system beep [00:25] sdwrage: What doesn't run? Eclipse or chmod? [00:26] Ghoti: your funny, we need to keep you around [00:26] eclipse [00:26] christopher: system->preferences->sound sounds tab and uncheck 'play alert sound' [00:26] sdwrage: try doing it from the command line and post the output [00:27] heyy [00:27] christopher: notwithstanding me being away from my PC, I plan to stick around :) [00:27] plasma, there is no output [00:27] PlasmaSheep: I just looked through all the search results for Synaptic and didn't see anything. Are you sure it's already there? [00:27] and it is from command line [00:27] Ghoti: lol [00:27] PlasmaSheep: thanks [00:27] Squideshi: No one said it's a package [00:28] sdwrage: Lolwut. Are you sure it's chmodded executable? [00:28] Ubuntu's default logout sound is awesome. [00:28] have anyone here used Mondo backupprogram, or knows an irc channel about it? [00:28] PlasmaSheep: What do you mean? [00:28] !brainstorm | squideshi [00:28] plasmasheep, how can I tell? [00:29] or can recomend another backup program, I want to backup a complete harddisk to DVDs [00:29] squideshi: Post your ideas for ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [00:29] I'm trying to copy files that was created on Windows XP from another ext3 partition. I'm using Hardy, and when I try to copy them, I only get an error message saying the charset is invalid. How do I copy the files without manually changing names on every file? [00:30] sdwrage: do ls -l in the parent directory and see if there's an x for that file [00:30] PlasmaSheep: That's where I looked at the Synaptic category--at the Brainstorm. I'm confused. [00:30] Squideshi: See the link? [00:30] :p [00:30] isaiah 46:4 [00:30] whoops [00:30] Squideshi: What, what? What are you looking for? [00:30] -rwxr-xr-x [00:30] PlasmaSheep: Yes. I used the link. [00:30] thats it right there [00:31] sdwrage: Or you can do chmod +x ./eclipsefilehere [00:31] hi [00:31] PlasmaSheep: You said that you thought the idea had already been posted at the Brainstorm, no? [00:31] the harddisk I want to backup is the one with windowsXP-partitions on it, but I want to do it from ubuntu, or from a linux boot-cd if that is better. any ideas? [00:31] is there any way i can search for files through the terminal? [00:31] totoy: locate $FILENAME [00:32] plasmasheep, I did chmod +x ./eclipse [00:32] yes, or with find / -name filename [00:32] anyone know how to update the intel vga driver for a dell e1405 laptop [00:32] Squideshi: Ah, sorry. l misunderstood. I guess I was wrong. [00:33] sdwrage: And when you do ./eclipse it doesn't do anything? [00:33] PlasmaSheep: No problem. I just thought I was missing something. :) [00:33] totoy: find / -name filename [00:33] What the hell is with these pm spamming bots? [00:33] plasma, it sits there and blinks on an empty line then returns to a line with my account before the blinking cursor [00:34] sdwrage: I have no idea. As a last-ditch attempt, redownload it.

[00:35] zoobox: cp is a very underestemated tool [00:35] Aside from Lynx, what's a good text-based browser that i can use on Ubuntu Server ? [00:35] hehehe [00:35] w3m [00:35] Stargazer: links2 [00:36] zoobox: The way I do my backups is I copy all the folders into one folder which is then compressed and sent to an external drive [00:36] Stargazer: elinks [00:36] Hi All [00:36] PlasmaSheep: well, in this case I want a backup of the whole harddisk, including bootsectors and MBR and whatever microsoft might thought was fun to do with it...... [00:37] zoobox: dd if=/dev/hda of=/path/to/really/big/backup/file [00:37] zoobox: that'll be a bit-for-bit copy of your hard drive [00:38] can someone recommend where to go to do some price comparing on ubuntu laptops or media center type boxes?

I was thinking something like that too.... but I don't have /reall/big/place/ to store a complete copy of hda1 to... I want it to burn dvd's while copying.... [00:38] zoobox: Where will you back it up to then? [00:39] How can I get a screen shot of the desktop from a remote ssh session ? [00:39] or rather, copy 4 GB , and then burn that to a dvd, then continue with next 4GB etc... [00:39] (x-windows destkop) [00:39] PlasmaSheep: to 10 dvd-r [00:39] zoobox: that can be done with dd as well, but the exact syntax eludes me I'm afraid [00:40] Hi Could anybody help with a question regarding GRUB? [00:40] homesickalien13, ask [00:40] !ask | homesickalien13 [00:40] homesickalien13: 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. :-) [00:40] zoobox: You can try to copy them directly to the media instead of the disk. [00:41] Is ventrilo in the repos ? [00:41] thanks I just installed ubuntu and I am quite new to linux. when I start my pc and the grub loads I see 4 options for ubuntu and 1 for windows. whats the difference bettween the 4 linux [00:41] Ghoti_: ok [00:41] hi all. Does anyone know how to launch the ncurses bittornado? === dbfrombrc|away is now known as dbfrombrc [00:41] Stargazer: vent rand 'ok' with the latest wine last i used it (few weeks ago) [00:41] homesickalien13: what exactly are the four options? [00:41] homesickalien13: The first is normal, second is recovery for if something goes wrong, third is probably memtest (I'm guessing, as I can't read your list) [00:42] Ok... other than Seronis' suggestion of wine... is there a Ventrilo-like package in the repos ? [00:42] Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-11-generic and the same but 07 instead of 11 [00:42] Stargazer, are you asking about teamspeak? [00:42] Stargazer: mumble [00:42] PlasmaSheep: aha... you mean reading from hda simultanously as writing to the dvd? that whould be perfect... (I have 5 GB free diskspace on my linux partition otherwise) [00:42] Stargazer: I'm not sure if it's compatible though === Seronis_ is now known as Seronis [00:43] aggghhh i cant fix this! [00:43] zoobox: Yes. Not certain how possible that is though, never having done that. [00:43] ZKai, sure. but is there a windows front/back-end ? [00:43] no i mean there is two recovery, memtest and two other linux [00:43] Stargazer: vent ran 'ok' with the latest wine last i used it (few weeks ago) [00:43] Stargazer, yeah [00:43] homesickalien13: sounds like one is a backup of an older version of the kernel [00:43] (sorry if thats a resend, my laptop went into hibernate when i tried to send it first time) [00:43] there's no linux version of ventrilo [00:43] Stargazer: mumble [00:44] i had a lot of trouble installing and reinstalling, does that mean I have two versions of the same running? [00:44] anyone have wow on linux? what's your FPS? [00:44] Stargazer: just install ventrilo with the LATEST version of Wine. runs great [00:44] Stargazer: by great i mean push-to-talk fails. but voice activation is ok [00:44] Seronis, i forgot to mention that i'm using Ubuntu Server. wine won't work in CLI mode. [00:44] my time and date settings is opening very slow (time-admin) after I checked alot of servers , is there a way to reset it ? [00:45] homesickalien13: no, they are there for backup. List will grow with each kernel-update. You can delete older ones, but keep last before your current version to be safe. [00:45] I can not click on "unlock" , it just keeps telling me to wait and is greyed out for like 5 mins now [00:45] Stargazer: use teamspeak then. prob solved? [00:45] Sure. [00:45] hi [00:45] hello [00:45] hello? [00:45] how to see for dns on ubuntu?

("Movie Player"), have the sidebar on and drag more videos into the list [00:47] ned you must install codecs (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras) [00:47] <`Ned> ok thanks [00:47] Stargazer: Mumble is an alternative to ventrilo. [00:48] Does Mumble work with ventrilo servers? [00:48] BigMoopies: uncheck them [00:48] PlasmaSheep, how? it doesn't even load [00:48] DM2303 no [00:48] k [00:48] BigMoopies: Try reinstalling them then [00:49] PlasmaSheep, how so?

[00:52] christopher, funny, i have integrated intel and have been using linux longer than you've known what it is without problems [00:52] Ghoti_ / PlasmaSheep: I suppose I could do dd if=/dev/hda of=/home/me/img1 count=4G and then burn it with something? on to a dvd, and then if=/dev/hda of=/home/me/img2 skip=4G count=4G and next time with skip=8G etc...?

Can anyone lend a hand? [00:53] wait, there it goes [00:53] PlasmaSheep: you know, i get a problem running a graphics test, and the only answer I find is it's my integrated card [00:54] PlasmaSheep: guess it depends on the purpose. I use apt-get for library debs and includes and modules, but synaptic to browse around and add or remove software here and there [00:54] christopher: I play an FPS without problems, so it's just you.

[00:56] PlasmaSheep: christopher@christopher-laptop:~$ lspci | grep VGA [00:56] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [00:56] zoobox: """ cmp -l <(cat ./ubuntu_8gb_usb_backup.dd.gz.00* | gunzip -c) /dev/sdb """ seemed to work when I was poking around [00:57] aha ok [00:57] bye all thanx for the help :) [00:57] azureus is said to be a good console torrent client but I dislike it's done in java. what else there is which is good for cli torrent client ? [00:57] i want to use it combined with screen in order to keep the sessions open and survive logouts [00:57] PlasmaSheep: not sure, every game I play has been choppy with 2fps [00:57] transmission has a CL interface as well, Am I right? [00:58] evantandersen: i don't know. does it ? [00:58] christopher: I don't know anything about fixing graphics [00:58] zoobox: But figuring out how to pause between the dvds is still to be implemented... [00:59] which is better debian or ubuntu ? [00:59] I am considering reinstalling my o/s due to strange problems, but not quite sure what to install to.. [01:00] oh well... still not working [01:00] anom01y: You want the stable OS? Go with debian. You'll be missing out on lot of latest features and updates. Using Firefox 2.0 and etc. Otherwise, go with Ubuntu? >_> [01:00] so in this make file I'm trying to write I am running into a permissions problem. I cant copy the compiled file to /usr/sbin. Is there any way I can do this operation without being root? [01:00] Neither is "better", they have different goals [01:00] Neaai no it doesn't sorry was thinking of handbrake [01:00] i try to start ZIMBRA but i get these errors and zimbra tell me its a UBUNTU issue: FAILED >>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 0 <<< sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 0. Can anyone suggest help please? [01:00] anom01y: They're different. [01:00] cool thanks mobi-sheep [01:00] hi there [01:00] anom01y: Try both and see what you like [01:01] Doitle: sudo cp [01:01] mobi-sheep: Debian is not more stable or less cutting edge than ubuntu. [01:01] Yes Debian is. [01:02] zoobox: Er.. disregard that, using the dd bits in combination with it (replacing the last bit """ /dev/sda """ with: """ (dd if=/dev/sda bs=4GB count=1) """ plus the skip thingies. [01:02] PlasmaSheep: mobi-sheep did not ask the question [01:02] zoobox: ... might be doable [01:02] hey mates, I'm attempting to help a friend recover files from his fubar ntfs drive [01:02] Stupendoussteve: I know. I was correcting him. [01:02] how to get device manager like application for ubuntu [01:02] PlasmaSheep: Debian's goal is stability and they get released whenever it's ready. Ubuntu get released on time manner, every 6 months. [01:03] I seem to be having problems mounting it for read only [01:03] evantandersen: yes [01:03] the prob I am having is kinda strange so I don't even know how I would begin asking my question but I will try so I don't have to reinstall [01:03] any thoughts? [01:03] oospunkey: DO you have a livecd available? [01:03] PlasmaSheep: Debian Unstable is not more stable and less cutting edge, normal Debian is though [01:03] mobi-sheep: That doesn't mean that ubuntu is half baked. You can use an LTS release and it'll be stabke. [01:03] basically I have installed kubuntu, then installed xfce4 packages and started using xfce + compiz fusion [01:03] the file structure is messed up, but the drive spins and the other partitions are fine [01:03] ienorand: oh [01:03] charles_ yes? about what === Whitor is now known as Whi [01:03] Stupendoussteve: You can still install the deb files of up to date programs and add repositories. [01:03] Of course === Whi is now known as Whi_afk [01:03] anom: why didnt you just install xubuntu ? [01:04] my problem started when I ran kcontrol and started screwing with the colors for kde apps (which I use in xfce) [01:04] evantandersen: i was checking too. actually the man page mentions a "transmissioncli" at the end at the "look also", but there is no such thing. [01:04] PlasmaSheep: I never said Ubuntu was half-baked. I suppose the correct answer for the anom01y would be to try Ubuntu LTS. :) [01:04] now, kopete crashes when I open windows, and java + firefox give me strange errors [01:04] evantandersen: yes, transmission has a cli [01:04] hiiiiiii everyone can anyone tell me if my video card is working properly? my video and window effects are kinda choppy : / [01:04] mobi-sheep: Yes, that would work. [01:04] Can doing a apt-get upgrade break my system? Eg: Configs and whatnot [01:05] charles_: how to start transmission in cli mode then? [01:05] Neaai: there are actually two: (1) transmission-cli, which is kind of lightweight, and (2) transmission-daemon, plus a cli frontend to the daemon named transmission-remote [01:05] Neaai: either start transmission-cli on its own, or start transmission-daemon, and drive that with transmissio-remote [01:05] charles_ oh. [01:06] glisignoli: See "apt-get --help" [01:06] does anyone know about ubuntu having any built in firewall or anything? [01:06] mobi-sheep, I already run ubuntu + xfce4, but, I am getting wierd issues running kde apps in xfce, and the colors for firefox+java make it not usable/visible [01:06] glisignoli: It's basically same way you update via GUI. [01:06] omg I logged in as root! [01:06] charles_: i have not an executable named transmission-cli ?? [01:06] j/k [01:07] Greetings all. I was wondering if what it took to get someone to look into a bug that has been around for over a year but doesn't seem to even be assigned to someone to address. [01:07] (that sounds harsher than I intended to sound) [01:07] Neaai: iirc it's packaged on its own... you might look through the package list for the different flavors of transmission [01:07] mobi-sheep: I'm just worried that if I do a apt-get upgrade on a server that hasn't had updates in a few months, it might break something (current configs not compatible with updated packages) [01:07] alex_ thats neither particually useful or safe [01:07] ;_; this is zero fun writing this makefile. I do cp twice, first one? Works fine. Second one? Unknown identifier: cp [01:07] ienorand: yeah for disk two I should use cmp -l <(cat ./ubuntu_8gb_usb_backup.dd.gz.00* | gunzip -c) (dd if=/dev/sda bs=4GB skip=4GB count=1) [01:07] anom01y: I'm not sure what your issue is in first place. You're talking about color in theme making it unvisible? [01:08] or no... (dd if=/dev/sda bs=4GB skip=1 count=1) I mean [01:08] is there any way to create a shortcut to login and execute a command on my ftp server ie cd watch/ put ~/torrents/* [01:08] glisignoli: I'm not the one to ask. That's why we always do backups regardless of what we may be doing in the future. Keep that in thought. [01:08] mobi-sheep, it seems since I ran kcontrol (kde control center) in xfce to change the colors for kde apps which I use in xfce my problems began [01:08] glisignoli: Use that as a good practice. :) [01:08] java apps in firefox are unusable [01:08] wamcvey: What bug? [01:09] and kopete crahses the x server now 75% of the time that I start a new chat window [01:09] (er chat session) [01:09] Pici: thanks for getting back to me: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/216550 [01:09] mobi-sheep: I blame you if this breaks :D [01:09] charles_: yes, apt-search says there is a transmission-cli. cool [01:09] pici: the bug has been around since since at least hardy, and apparently is still in Jaunty-beta [01:09] s/apt-cache/apt-search [01:10] glisignoli: Good luck. I only suggested the backup. ;> [01:10] anyone know anything about.... ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 02) misbehaving in intrepid? [01:10] ok I am trying to open gnome-terminal on boot/login. how can I do this? [01:10] hmm what is the compositing manager ? could I have activated that by opening kcontrol ?? [01:10] Any ideas on my cp troubles? I guess I should be careful where I say that... [01:11] @Doitle: LOL [01:11] is there any way to create a shortcut to login and execute a command on my ftp server ie cd watch/ put ~/torrents/* [01:12] :-( too much 4chan [01:12] Tophu: Please refrain from that. Thanks. [01:12] zoobox: Yea, something like that you'd have to specify the filename ## ./cddrive/backup.dd.gz.001 ## for file 2 for example... [01:12] mobi-sheep: One server done, only 12 more to go... [01:12] hi [01:12] !session | Tophu [01:12] Tophu: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [01:13] wamcvey: Let me see if I can recreate it, hold on. [01:13] @ubottu :-( that doesn't work [01:14] what new ubuntu 9.04 have? can it install my intel drivers fully now? i switched to linuxmint 2months before coz ubuntu was not installing my vga properly [01:14] hi. i want to be able to type a letter with hat like in hâlâ. i'm using ubuntu 8.10. how can i do this? [01:15] zoobox: Here presuming that you make _files_ on the dvd, not raw-write data to it... [01:15] to be more specific I need to run ./ventrilo_srv from ~/Desktop/ventserv/ in a terminal window on boot/login [01:15] I even checked in vi to make sure there were no hidden characters around the second cp [01:15] ValentineX: http://tinyurl.com/9blc29 [01:15] keyboard_help: check out: http://www.jacobsen.no/anders/blog/archives/2007/06/05/how_to_get_special_characters_easily_in_ubuntu.html [01:15] Anyone know why the Jaunty liveCD wants me to give it a username/password? [01:16] Do the daily builds of ubuntu 9.04 still have that nasty ext4 bug that the download page mentions? [01:16] thanks wamcvey! [01:16] pckchem: at what point? [01:16] zoobox: Did you get any clues as how to pipe up mkisofs and cdredord (dvdrecord?) since I'm kinda interested in that myself? [01:16] mobi-sheep: Thank you, is ext4 buggy? [01:16] Doitle: I missed your question... what's your problem? [01:16] normal login screen. Normally live CD's don't even show a login screen. [01:17] usr13: Hence confusion [01:17] I'm writing a make file to install my service and I need to copy two files, the first one copies fine, the second one says cp is an unknown identifier. They are formatted identically. [01:17] ValentineX: Well, I'm using encrypted lvm + ext4 right now on Jaunty. I'm unaware of the ext4 bugs. [01:17] Doitle, pastebin the make file? [01:17] Doitle: do you have the Makefile up on a pastebin somewhere? [01:17] so I untar my eclipse folder to /home/sdwrage/eclipse/ and I cd to it. I then attempt to run eclipse via ./eclipse and no go. So I try chmod +x ./eclipse and still no go... any ideas anyone? [01:17] pckchem: login is normally ubuntu woth blank password, as far as I know... [01:18] does anyone know where i can download the weather font for conky? [01:18] pckchem: Try ubuntu:ubuntu [01:18] Uh... sure it'll take me a sec, I'm remote desktopped to teh computer and then running linux in a VM on there. I'll have to ftp it [01:18] usr13 : It's the jaunty-rc from the official torrent. It's being run on top of a intrepid install. And ubuntu:"blank" and ubuntu:ubuntu don't work [01:19] Mind you I'm just sort of cobbling it together I dont know how to write a good make file so if I'm doing something really wrong feel free to tell me. http://rafb.net/p/ZQfext23.html [01:19] Doitle: pasteinit [01:19] pckchem: run in vm? [01:19] Doitle: makefile issues I've seen before include spaces rather than tabs being treated differently. Also, if you're doing nested subshells, you may have to escape newlines. [01:19] rudementary* [01:19] ienorand: Why? [01:19] I try start ZIMBRA on ubunto and get the following error. anyon help?: http://www.pastebin.ca/1394478 im getting desperate for work emails to work again [01:20] Doitle: You're using su? who is this running as? [01:20] pckchem: Sorry. Is it being run in a vm? [01:20] Doitle: pastebinit [01:20] info on the ext4 but is under "Known issues" on this page http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904overview [01:20] Could someone tell me the ways to get the high, low, and current temperatures for today in conkyforecast? [01:20] !9.04 [01:20] Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [01:20] Id id pastebin it [01:20] usr13: Doitle's makefile is at http://rafb.net/p/ZQfext23.html [01:20] ienorand: Nope. Live CD. [01:20] This channel is for <= 8.10 support [01:20] ccessing large files can trigger a kernel panic and filesystem corruption [01:20] pckchem: Or are you running livecd... ok [01:20] wamcvey: It looks like if I disable Click To Focus, then the keyboard keybindings work. [01:21] Doitle, presumably make install is executed by root, so theres no need for su in there [01:21] is there a simple way get a bandwidth usage summary from the shell on a given interface? [01:21] which is my cdrom? http://rafb.net/p/Do2qAB90.html [01:21] Pici: mind if we go unicast? [01:21] I actually have them with sudos not sus in the most recent version [01:21] pckchem: Then I don't really see why it would have a password, and this is when it boots up to login for the first time? [01:21] without su/sudo it told me I did not have permission to copy into /usr/sbin usser [01:22] Doitle, you have to execute the make install with sudo, ie sudo make install [01:22] jedi06: Is it a usb cdrom? [01:22] Will it be executed like that by apt-get? The ultimate goal is to package this into a .deb [01:22] !packaging | Doitle [01:22] Doitle: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [01:22] Doitle: And what is the error? [01:22] ienorand: Yeah. And trust me, after 4 years of Ubuntu use and 3 years of BugControl I'm just confused. Perhaps an ISO problem... [01:22] wamcvey: eh? [01:23] jedi06: That list does not show any drives [01:23] Doitle: also, check out the man page for 'install' [01:23] wow kopete and compiz do not get along apparently if you have an nvidia card [01:23] thanks for the ....help.... . [01:23] Doitle: #ubuntu-motu is generally a better place for packaging questins. [01:23] ienorand: yeah I want to make a file on the dvd yes. haven't looked on mkisofc/cdrecord yet [01:23] is there any other equiv chat apps ? [01:23] Doitle, to create a .deb package you too need root permissions, so yea it will be executed with root priviliges by apt-get [01:23] it either sattes the the second cp or the cd are command not found / unknown identifier [01:23] *states [01:23] !im | anom01y [01:23] anom01y: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [01:23] so I untar my eclipse folder to /home/sdwrage/eclipse/ and I cd to it. I then attempt to run eclipse via ./eclipse and no go. So I try chmod +x ./eclipse and still no go... any ideas anyone? [01:24] pckchem: possibly... I don't know if anything already on the computer would make it pick up a password... som might be an iso problem, md5 check... [01:24] ienorand: I'm quite new on burning from ubuntu.... until now I have allways used Nero in windows for my dvd-burning needs :-) [01:24] Doitle, even without su? [01:24] whenever i go to system->admin->hardware drivers all i see is my wireless card and not my graphics card EVEN though im running an nvidia 9600gt any ideas? [01:25] ienorand, it already cleared md5, first thing I do. Probably a build error. I'm going to search LP for reported errors. One sec. [01:25] which one is the cdrom in the lshw [01:26] removing all the sudos and then doing sudo make does appear to work! [01:26] thanks [01:26] Hi. Is anyone else having troubles with firefox after that last update? === konfederate is now known as dr_bro [01:27] ienorand: Yeah. This time it worked. I have no idea. Didn't change anything. *shrug* [01:28] Guess not. after the most recent update (just updated) my firefox has been sketchy. Not loading bookmarks or any preferences. I can still see them if I type the beginning of one of my book marks into the address bar, but can't see them in my bookmark tab. Still can travel the web. Anyone know what happened? [01:30] Ripzerskins: Try Right-Click on the navigation bar -->Customize... --> Restore Default Set. I think your GUI went out of wacky. If that doesn't work, then I don't know. [01:30] pckchem: They spoke about something with ram here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9193 so I guess there might be some freak occasions where it will stay in ram... Really sounds to weird to be true... === k is now known as Guest94837 [01:32] ienorand: Believe it I guess. It probably has something to do with be interrupting intrepid's boot so that I could restart the computer with the livecd in the drive. Either way, turning the comp completely off then on versus just a restart fixed the issue. [01:32] hiya, how can i modify my key press repeat rate and delay? [01:32] mikegriffin: Yes. In Gnome it is in System> Preferences> Keyboard [01:33] sorry, using xdm and fluxbox, i figured it was an x thing at first but it seems to affect the raw terminals as well [01:33] installed Intrepid ... can install Jaunty later ... I'm trying to find out how to configure wireless so that it activates as soon as the system boots up, instead of waiting until a user logs in, and stay activated even when a user logs out [01:33] PlasmaSheep: forecast in conky: ${execi 3600 conkyForecast --location=UKXX0103 --datatype=HT} change location, and second and third time you run change HT to LT (low temperature) and CC (current) [01:33] Stupendoussteve: nm, just x it seems [01:33] Skapare: Yes you can upgrade to Jaunty [01:34] Skapare: Sorry didn't read the whole thing :) [01:34] Stupendoussteve: in 7 days ... do you know that it is impossible to do in Intrepid and doable in Jaunty? [01:34] Skapare: AFAIK network-manager requires the system to be up and logged in, you will need to set up a manual network configuration [01:34] Stupendoussteve: the answer i was looking for is "xset r rate 195 35" [01:35] mikegriffin: Glad you found it :) [01:35] Stupendoussteve: any instructions, directions, documentation, on how to do that? [01:35] Skapare: One sec [01:35] Stupendoussteve: google got people asking the qestions and people _trying_ to do it with network-manager with no luck [01:35] mobi-sheep: I just did that [01:36] mobi-sheep: It worked for a second, then firefox crashed [01:36] How can I adjust how soon the gnome-power-manager goes yellow? My laptop still has an hour and 45 minutes of life left in it and the logo is already yellow. I can see the parameter in gconf-editor, but don't know which ones to change. [01:37] can someone help me get ia32-libs installed in Jaunty (64)? I'm getting an error that I can't get rid of. [01:37] Stupendoussteve: the ability to limit networking to certain users will have its uses in other context (like kids using it) [01:37] mobi-sheep: Also, whenever I try to use foxmarks (or x marks now I guess) it closes. [01:37] Ripzerskins: Hmm. Well, I solved your issue. And now you have a new issue. :-\ [01:37] mobi-sheep: It went back the way it was [01:37] Ripzerskins: Try and disable Foxmarks. [01:38] mobi-sheep: I tried to go into my addon menu and firefox closed. [01:38] Stupendoussteve: but for my use, I want to be able to ssh in even if the machine reboots [01:38] Ripzerskins: "firefox -safe-mode" [01:38] This is a lot of work just to get a webserver running that keeps track of hits and increments a counter in a txt file. [01:38] Skapare: With that machine on wireless, correct? [01:38] Stupendoussteve: yes ... it will be in another room [01:39] mobi-sheep: same problem with the bookmarks. The add on isn't here though [01:39] mobi-sheep: Closed when I tried to go into my addons [01:39] Ripzerskins: Sounds like Foxmark b0rked your Firefox. [01:39] By default, Ubuntu still uses Ext3, how to use ext4? i do not know manual partitions [01:39] Can anyone answer a question about evince (Document Viewer)? [01:39] :( [01:39] Stupendoussteve: my dad will be using it occasionally, and at other times I'll be using it to run software builds [01:40] ValentineX: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty questions. Thanks [01:40] mobi-sheep: Where is the bookmarks folder so I can get my bookmarks before I clean install firefox? [01:40] ValentineX: Use alternative disk. It provide more choices. I'm not sure about Desktop CD but set up the partition manually. You should be able to change from ext3 to ext4. [01:40] jaunty is still +1? [01:40] mikegriffin: Its not released, so yes. [01:40] mikegriffin: Yes, Jaunty is still a development build [01:40] yep till the 23rd [01:40] oh i thoguht it released. got it thanks espacious [01:41] the rc was released today [01:41] eseven73: ^^ (sorry espacious) [01:41] Flannel: u want to kick me from here :'( [01:41] yea i had quite a few updates just now [01:42] Ripzerskins: Try search somewhere in /home/Rip/.mozilla/ ---> However, I suggest you to rename /home/Rip/.mozilla_backup/ --> This way, you can start Firefox with a clean config file. [01:42] Stupendoussteve: it would be nice if network-manager could do this itself ... e.g. if admin logged in, show an option "start wireless network at system boot" ... and an init script to fire up a background component of network-manager to run it [01:42] Skapare: /etc/network/interfaces is a start... [01:42] ValentineX: ext4 only works on Jaunty. Jaunty isn't supported here, as it's not stable yet. [01:42] Thanks [01:43] Skapare: It would be nice, yes. If you use wpa you will have to do configuration with wpa_supplicant [01:43] ienorand: yeah, but I only know how to set IP addresses in there ... wireless involves more stuff like WEP/WPA keys, etc [01:43] Hello all [01:43] Skapare, which is possible in interfaces too. However network manager ignores it so it is not really an option. [01:44] ienorand: how do they do this on servers? [01:44] jdu: He's not using a gui, thus not using network-manager [01:44] is there anything like opennms for ubuntu? I can't seem to get it going for the life of me, im using zabbix already, just wondering what else I could try, just to say I tried it and for the experience :) [01:44] Stupendoussteve, ah [01:44] jdu: well as long as network-manager doesn't interfere, once I find out how to set it up in /etc/network/interfaces then that is OK ... I can edit files [01:44] ValentineX: Use alternative disk. That's all I can say. Far more text-based choices. [01:45] * Skapare has used emacs for 27 years [01:45] oh god [01:45] Hello. [01:45] I just joined [01:45] that makes me want to leave again [01:45] ok [01:45] hi warrior [01:45] Could someone help me? [01:45] mobi-sheep: what is alternative disk? [01:45] Skapare, I don't have the config file handy, but I was working on a computer that connects with wep to a wireless router with only config interfaces. [01:45] you each have 5 minutes [01:45] hehe [01:45] How can I adjust how soon the gnome-power-manager goes yellow? My laptop still has an hour and 45 minutes of life left in it and the logo is already yellow. I can see the parameter in gconf-editor, but don't know which ones to change. [01:45] megaerathia: State your problem. [01:45] Skapare: Connecting ubuntu server to wireless was how I went about looking for things, didn't get many results for people getting it working there either [01:46] to give me a good reason to upgrade t0 9.04 from my current 8.04 [01:46] !jaunty [01:46] Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support.

It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [01:46] Warrior|Aussie, *8.04 is great wait for next LTS [01:46] Stupendoussteve: yeah, I've looked, but didn't use "server" yet ... just thought of that [01:46] I've just installed Ubuntu, the newest version. What happens is it boots up with the grub line. And I don't know what the hell I have to do to start it in vista or ubuntu again. It gives rapid beeps when trying to start linux from harddrive using the live cd. [01:47] Stupendoussteve: probably most people don't do wireless on a server is the catch [01:47] With the grub command line I mean. [01:47] Exactly [01:47] Haha, I just tried to mkdir, and my computer told me not enough space. Hehe, I have 0 bytes of hd space available [01:48] Stupendoussteve: the servers I do have are on a switch that is connected to a wireless bridge ... the wireless router and cable modem are in another room [01:48] what is the favorite desklet system... I'm using screenlets right now but i'm not sure i'm happy with it. [01:48] mobi-sheep: these images are all alternate? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ [01:48] can someone help me fix a problem with ia32-libs in Jaunty? [01:48] Stupendoussteve: but this machine I'm trying to get going is a laptop ... but I wouldn't run ether around the house anyway, due to risk of electrical damage [01:48] ValentineX: Right. [01:48] Am I screwed? [01:48] mobi-sheep: I'm totally out of hd space. Think that might be my problem? haha [01:49] Can anyone here give me hand with VirtualBox sound setup [01:49] I use windows server 2003 with terminal services so several people in our other location can access some systems using remote desktop. is there a system comparable to this for ubuntu server ? [01:49] Ripzerskins: I wouldn't know how Firefox manage with no room. Could be. Would be. Should be. [01:49] mobi-sheep: there is different method to install/ use with them? different from normal cd installation? text based... commands i do not know [01:49] I've just installed Ubuntu, the newest version. What happens is it boots up with the grub command line. And I don't know what the hell I have to do to start it in vista or ubuntu again. It gives rapid beeps when trying to start linux from harddrive using the live cd. [01:49] megaerathia: Nope. You'll just have to wait for someone to be free and help you. Keep repeating your question every 15-25 minutes, and in the meantime, you can try the forums (ubuntuforums.org) [01:50] Skapare: Are you apt at compiling things? I did find a command line networkmanager controller, which may work [01:50] Already searched all through it. [01:50] Skapare: See http://vidner.net/martin/software/cnetworkmanager/ [01:50] ValentineX: You don't deal with commands at all. Bunch of choices. (Yes/no). Etc. [01:50] And you set up size, etc. [01:50] ValentineX, mobi-sheep: It's text based, but its not commands. It's menu driven, just like the Desktop CD. It actually asks identical questions, just through a text based GUI. [01:50] Stupendoussteve: I can, though for ubuntu I'd rather have a .deb [01:51] ValentineX: But If you feel like you don't want to deal with that, then don't. Just stick with Desktop CD. But if you wanted ext4, then go for it. Like Flannel said. No commands. [01:51] Stupendoussteve: I do embedded system builds ... very able to compile ... but I prefer to have my ubuntu machines full package managed [01:51] Skapare: I agree. I will see about possibly making a deb, if it works [01:51] hello, I just switched from a 21" CRT to a 22" widescreen lcd, and everything looks nice until I login using gnome as my WM, and all I see is the desktop wallpaper.. no icons no response from mouse, all I can do is change my session to a the failsafe terminal and am using irssi === Whi_afk is now known as Whitor [01:52] Stupendoussteve: OK ... any idea what the GUI network-manager calls to do its thing? [01:52] is there anything like opennms for ubuntu? I can't seem to get it going for the life of me, im using zabbix already, just wondering what else I could try, just to say I tried it and for the experience :) [01:52] I use windows server 2003 with terminal services so several people in our other location can access some systems using remote desktop. is there a system comparable to this for ubuntu server ? [01:53] Skapare: The gui is nm-applet, it communicates with network manager, but does not do so over normal commands (I believe it uses dbus) [01:53] Stupendoussteve: that network manager it communicates with, is it only running after a user logs in? === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix_da_catz [01:54] Hello, IS there a gui program for converting video files? [01:54] Skapare: No it's through /etc/init.d/NetworkManager [01:55] Skapare: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html section 10.6.1.3 Has instructions as to what is to be added to /etc/network/interfaces... Further down it also says one should add "auto #interfacename#" to bring it up automatically... [01:55] Stupendoussteve: then the command line variant could do the same thing? [01:55] I've just installed Ubuntu, the newest version. What happens is it boots up with the grub line. And I don't know what the hell I have to do to start it in vista or ubuntu again. It gives rapid beeps when trying to start linux from harddrive using the live cd. [01:55] ienorand: thanks! I'll have a look [01:55] Skapare, if you are interested, send me your email with a private message. I will go to the ltsp server that I can't access now but connects to a wireless network without NetworkManager and send you a copy of interfaces. [01:56] Skapare: if you add things to the interfaces file i've seen that this seem to disable network-manager completely...

[01:56] The wireless-key field does not support wpa [01:56] unless they have patched some things [01:56] I get the error "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)" when installing LAMPP with tasksel, what do I do :D [01:56] does anyone know when is planed the next ati driver? [01:56] Stupendoussteve: I'm using WEP anyway [01:56] mobi-sheep, no I didnt, thanks [01:57] Ah, wep is very easy :D [01:57] hmm... what command linte dvd-writing program (of the type "write the files in this directory to the dvd" not write this .iso) should I use? [01:57] Stupendoussteve: my printer doesn't support WPA [01:57] anyone know why switching from crt to widescreen lcd would cause my desktop to be blank and unresponsive? [01:57] i hate linux more than i ever did now.. [01:57] megaerathia, that's productive. [01:57] megaerathia: Does it actually boot? [01:58] No it doesn't. [01:58] !grub [01:58] amathis: scan rate not within the range the lcd can do? [01:58] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:58] That's why I hate it. [01:58] It doesn't even show a boot menu anymore. [01:58] when I search about cdrecord/cdrtools/dvdrecord on the web I only end up in som old strange programmer conflict so perhaps one should stay away from them...? [01:58] megaerathia: When it's doing the countdown hit esc [01:58] megaerathia: Should show the menu [01:58] amathis: lcd should be able to handle a VERY wide range of scan rates ... but too many engineers haven't figured that out, yet [01:58] Which countdown? [01:58] eseven73 are you still looking for openNMS? [01:58] Skapare: well, my resolution is 1600x1200 and I know this monitor only supports 1050 [01:58] width [01:58] It shows my bios' manufacturer, then goes to the grub command line. [01:58] darkorical, no, I cant get openNMS going, so im looking for alternatives [01:59] amathis: that could do it [01:59] does anyone know when is planed the next fglrx driver?the current jaunty version doesn't look compatible with X.Org [01:59] anyone here have ubuntu running on a lenovo 3000 g530 ? [01:59] hey does anyone here know anything about windows [01:59] megaerathia: Ah so it doesn't even find it's conf [01:59] I have a stack of DVD-RAM discs that i like using for click and drag. I remember using some command line in the past to format them to UDF and then was able to drag. this was a while back, anyone know this? [01:59] i have a problem with my windows Computer [01:59] Skapare: ok next question.. I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it didn't fix the problem.. how can I solve this? [01:59] amathis: the lcd display I have now gives up if the vertical scan rate drops below about 59.9 Hz === dbfrombrc is now known as dbfrombrc|away [01:59] Skapare: You asked for startup script, didn't you? [01:59] mike12 ##windows [01:59] how do you take a screenshot in ubuntu? [02:00] Starhawk, just installed the driver from jaunty's repos today, worked fine [02:00] print screen :P [02:00] It did first, then I started in Vista restore mode (which I didn't know it was restore mode) and exited. Now it doesn't show the menu anymore. [02:00] oh well I was going to say they have their own channel on this irc server (#opennms) and their site does have instructions for getting it going on ubuntu 6 [02:00] hmm ok, just didnt work just now [02:00] amathis: now you're out of my league ...

So you hate Linux because Vistas restore made it inaccessible? [02:01] you're welcome === dbfrombrc is now known as dbfrombrc|away [02:01] usser> really?because 2days ago it crashed my xorg [02:01] !away > dbfrombrc|away [02:01] dbfrombrc|away, please see my private message [02:01] Yes, and cause I can't do anything now, except for booting from linux live cd. [02:01] I use windows server 2003 with terminal services so several people in our other location can access some systems using remote desktop. is there a system comparable to this for ubuntu server ? [02:01] Starhawk, version from repos? 8.6? i only used it for a couple of hours, ran some games wine etc seemed to work fine so far [02:02] thanks Stupendoussteve [02:02] Any solutions to fix this? [02:02] megaerathia, then wouldn't it be more logical to hate Vista? However, you can restore grub. Search for it in the wiki. [02:02] Is there a way to automatically start an application in a specific workspace? [02:02] darkorical, ltsp [02:02] I'd like to start Thunderbird in Workspace 2 [02:02] darkorical, linux terminal services project [02:02] mobi-sheep: as long as such a startup script is "the way" in ubuntu, that's what I'll do ... what I want is to end up with the same way an ubuntu expert would have just done it [02:02] I already hated vista, why'd you think I wanted linux? [02:03] It didn't install xp so linux was my last choice [02:03] !devilspie | FrozenFire [02:03] FrozenFire: devilspie is a tool that performs actions on windows in GNOME's metacity such as resizing, positioning, and pinning. Usage information can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie [02:03] '~$ which gnome-netstatus' does not produce any output. What is the name of the associated executable command? [02:03] FrozenFire: You might want to look for GUI version. There are one but I can't remember the package name. [02:03] DVD-RAM, anyone use them anymore? [02:03] mobi-sheep: I'm fine with doing it via the command-line [02:03] Thanks [02:03] FrozenFire: No problem. :) [02:03] FrozenFire: If you're not using metacity, and compiz instead then look into the window rules section of ccsm. Help for that is in #compiz [02:04] darkorical, there are several. One is called xrdp, which is an RDP server for Ubuntu. It's compatible with RDP clients, including Microsofts. There is also FreeNX, which is similar to RDP, only faster. And you have LTSP, but I think that's less useful over slow connections. [02:04] another question, no bug has been detected about dontzap, but I can't reenable the shortcut [02:04] eseven73 have you looked at Zenoss? [02:04] ya but zenoss looks pricey, and I don't want to settle for "core" version hehe [02:05] * eseven73 is picky [02:05] megaerathia, what's happened, is probably that Vista deleted the boot manager, grub. You can reinstall it. There is nothing that Linux can do to prevent this, so you shouldn't hate it for it. [02:05] hey all [02:05] well I did vind this sitethat list some http://ostatic.com/opennms/alternatives/1 [02:05] I'm trying to drag a .py plugin into my gimp folder... [02:05] getting permission denied [02:05] darkorical, besides that I didn't see a easy way to install it in ubuntu, I think there were a few .rpm's though [02:06] Hey guys, is there anywhere in the ubuntu where files are stored that I can look at to see what X11 displays are currently open? [02:06] darkorical, ok ill check that link out thanks :) [02:06] Haha, it says I need to install ubuntu again. [02:06] Which I can't. [02:06] You're welcome hope it helps [02:06] Vista assumes, during install, that you are choosing to replace Linux with Vista ... a silly assumption, but you know how MS is [02:06] megaerathia, what sais that? [02:06] My computer does. [02:06] anyone knows why i cant choose any captures on this list? (http://imageshack.dk//viewimage.php?file=/imagesfree/ERJ30341.png) [02:06] megaerathia, where? When?

[02:08] can someonet tell me the apt command to check the currently installed version of a package [02:08] tyabux: trying to see if someone can help me [02:08] How can I find out what X11 displays are open on a ubuntu system? [02:08] I did "chmod 666" and "chown (username)" and... Im not fully sure what the first one did. [02:08] iamelite: you could single user the box, it took out execute bit [02:09] Trying to set up something like an X version of the 'wall' command, I.E., check what displays are open and send the message to all of them [02:09] grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 [02:09] Error 15: File not found [02:09] super nice.. [02:09] iamelite: in any case, you are doing it wrong, your home should not have those permissions [02:09] When there is something really long you say "Too long; didn't read", shortened to "tl;dr". Examples of tl;dr are books, the "man" command, textbooks, and game manuals. [02:09] does anyone here know anything about ia32-libs?

[02:11] grep boot /etc/fstab [02:11] hello [02:11] megaerathia, does this mean you used wubi to install ubuntu? [02:11] Also linux documentation is "tl;dr" [02:11] I remember X11 having lockfiles somewhere... [02:11] wubi? [02:11] I just inserted the ubuntu live cd i burned and installed from that. [02:11] megaerathia, how did you install ubuntu? [02:11] WindowsXP_Pro: This is a support channel, Please try to keep the discussion elsewhere, such as #ubuntu-offtopic [02:11] would looking at those be reliable?

[02:23] is Ubuntu 9.04 released this week? [02:23] megaerathia: well there is no such file ... did you have a reason for doing "find" (inside grub) on that particular file name? [02:23] eternaljoy: April 23. [02:23] mobi-sheep: thanks [02:23] That's the problem, I can't. [02:23] megaerathia: oh, you let vista mangle it? hmmm ... for dual-boot, need to install windows first, then linux [02:24] OK!!! [02:24] So [02:24] If I try the only thing that happens are, multiple beeps, and it won't install. It will show a checklist [02:24] I dunno who that guy was... Buy whoever told me to CHMOD 755...

[02:31] megaerathia, try find /boot/grub/stage1 [02:31] Tried that over 10 times now.. [02:31] PerryArmstrong: Nothing is ever safe. [02:31] and? [02:31] not found?

[02:31] Perspione, #include [02:31] PerryArmstrong: No. [02:31] It goes to the grub command line, further nothing. [02:32] where I can find the last beta version of amarok? :S [02:32] bullgard4; any reasons?? [02:32] Show's manufacturer, shows some data, then goes to grub [02:32] megaerathia: then boot the hard drive, get that grub prompt ... then do: chainloader (hd0,0) [02:32] MrKlown: What are you onfused about? [02:32] Probably won't work, I'll try. [02:32] well my sister only uses my computer for myspace/yoville... i load up myspace ok that's fine then i go to yoville and the page is distorted a bit === co_alone is now known as ce_alone [02:33] and the yoville flash game does not work, can't get past 'start' [02:33] I've got a problem where I can't use sudo at all that includes updates etc it gives the error output: sudo: must be setuid root. I've tracked it back to /usr not being owned by root but my account name. [02:33] is there a reason why all the changes i make from bash are lost when i reboot? [02:33] hey guys can someone tell me what do u i have to install so i can use cool theme and what's best out there i'm running in gnome [02:33] using firefox, that's what we used on windows [02:33] usser, thanks, that almost worked. Now ld is giving me an error: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llua" [02:33] PerryArmstrong: Yes. Foremost, it is not yet released. Secondly, please read http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/beta. [02:34] AJNpa28: what kind of changes do you mean? [02:34] Perspione, usually its the case sensitivity that screws things up, try -lLua or -lLUA or -lua5.1 [02:34] Check [02:34] somehow around 20 GB of data spontaneously disappeared from my external hard drive, and this was after I installed GVFS updates this morning...any tips/explanations/advice? [02:34] anything i do in the file system [02:35] why does it keep saying sudo: ./: command not found ??? [02:35] i can't run my binary [02:35] starting to wonder if i am going to be able to handle ubuntu... things were all going smooth earlier and for the most part i find a lot of things easier to do on here than windows but i can't get amule to work or this yoville crap my sister needs [02:35] AJNpa28: do you have a specific example? [02:35] MrKlown: You're using amd64? [02:35] rainwalker: Try to find these 20 GB using command-line tools. [02:35] hamburglar: what's the command you're typing? [02:35] mobi i don't know lol [02:36] sudo ./ [02:36] you know.. [02:36] bullgard4: I did, and it's not...anywhere? I even plugged the drive into a windows computer [02:36] like when you have some file named my_file.bin [02:36] and you run it like ./ my_file.bin [02:36] i know my computer is 32 bit [02:36] when you're in the directory it's in [02:36] hamburglar: ok, you'd need to type sudo ./my_file.bin [02:36] garslo [02:36] i just said that didn't work :/ [02:36] Hi [02:36] <[person]> hamburglar, no space between ./ and your file [02:36] <[person]> ./configure [02:36] Im getting no video on jaunty, any ideas? [02:36] but yoville should still load correctly, i installed adobe flash just fine [02:37] doesn't work [02:37] crackintosh: For Jaunty (9.04) questions and support, please ask in in #ubuntu+1, thanks :) [02:37] usser, -Llua works, thanks for the help!

I've tracked it back to /usr not being owned by root but my account name. [02:38] is there some bug where it can't be in your home folder? [02:38] when you use the sh and ./ commands [02:38] AJNpa28: sorry, i've never messed with wubi, no idea [02:38] TarBar: boot a live CD, access the HD manually, fix it [02:38] TarBar: Have you added a new user to this machine? [02:39] hamburglar:ls -l yourfile.bin [02:39] TarBar: Have you added a new user to this machine? Do you have two user accounts? [02:39] Skapare, I'm using wubi.. I don't think that would work.

[02:39] Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist [02:39] hehe ok it's not permissioned to me [02:39] can i extend my swap partition/ [02:39] TarBar: Do as Skapare said. [02:39] TarBar: if the /usr is not owned by root, that's a way to go in and change it [02:40] <[person]> syntax\, yes, you can use gparted to do that [02:40] bullgard4; ohh thank you....i had faced many driver problems...with hardy i never got these problems and i got them in intrepid...the problem is with screen resolution with old monitors..... anyways you can have a look at my problem here...and post anything that you might know http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1115684 [02:40] Gave this error now: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist [02:40] Is there any way to see the ports in use without using another computer?

[02:41] megaerathia: OK, then it will require multiple commands ... pls wait I'll look up [02:41] Doitle: netstat -atun [02:41] Skapare:But I'm using wubi and it's installed differently than a proper installation of ubuntu? [02:41] now there's no error but it does nothing when i run it :( [02:41] rainwalker: It is rather unlikely that 20 GB disappear completely after installing GVFS updates. You probably did not use suitable disk analyzing tools when you put your hard drive into a Windows computer. -- Try to remember what the contents was of those 20 GB, and then try to do some snooping for them using Ubuntu disk analysis tools. [02:41] dont you hate when your fucking a girl in the ass and she is like "stop! stop! I'm only 13"..just happened to me. That is the last time I fuck my sister. [02:41] Ah so there IS something running on port 88 but I dont know what... [02:41] Doitle: netstat -pantu [02:41] skiix: GTFO. [02:41] Doitle: or as garslo said... [02:41] the program id is 0...? hmm [02:42] <[person]> syntax\, depends on if you have some unallocated space, but why do you want to incrase your swap partition? you don't really need anything bigger than 256mb [02:42] PlasmaSheep like jello? [02:42] because if you dont shut your whore mouth I will make sure thats the only thing you'll be able to eat the next 12 weeks. [02:42] skiix: Just leave. [02:42] capiche?

You were helping me yesterday but left ): [02:43] It's supposed to be on the second partition. [02:43] I have a terminal client on my phone. I was wondering what kind of services (I wanted to avoid sshing my own machine for irssi) is there for me to "ssh" in and use IRC from there? [02:43] TarBar: yeah sorry had to go.

Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. [02:43] However [02:43] dumb question maybe, anyway to see what the recommend packages where after you installed. [02:43] does ubuntu come installed 8.10 with a firewall turned on and if so how do i access it? [02:44] That !op command is useful. Thanks, jrib.

[02:44] i had something strange happen today, can anyone explain this? while sshing (inside of gnome-terminal), i all of a sudden got a dialog box asking for the ssh password. any idea what would cause that? [02:44] i cloned an ubuntu install into 40x workstations. im not just sure if the swap partition stayed as ease or it increased or decrease via percentage [02:44] hamburglar:do you have install that libraries? [02:44] Ah, yes. Missed that part. [02:44] Doitle: What are you trying to do? (Or not do..?) [02:44] i'm using the jaunty beta [02:44] is it in build-essentail? [02:44] essential* [02:44] MrKlown, it comes with a firewall but its off by default [02:45] How can I adjust how soon the gnome-power-manager goes yellow? My laptop still has an hour and 45 minutes of life left in it and the logo is already yellow. I can see the parameter in gconf-editor, but don't know which ones to change. [02:45] hamburglar: try to install g++ [02:45] !iptables | MrKlown [02:45] MrKlown: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [02:45] [person]: i cloned an ubuntu install into 40x workstations. im not just sure if the swap partition stayed as ease or it increased or decrease via percentage. the base install was from a 10gb hard drive, i cloned it to different machines with diff specs / hdd sizes :) from 20 - 80 gb. [02:45] that's in build essential right? [02:45] i installed build-essential [02:45] jrib: It looks like I now need to change the whole /usr directory to root because it isn't.. [02:45] ty usser [02:45] !info ufw | MrKlown [02:45] MrKlown: ufw (source: ufw): program for managing a netfilter firewall. In component main, is standard.

I forget its name, though. [02:45] MrKlown: Ubuntu dous not come with a firewall installed. YOu can install firestarter if you want tho. [02:45] i am confused then [02:45] Well, I will go now. [02:45] hamburglar:you can see what't in package "build-essential" [02:45] Bye everyone. [02:45] mrwes: I stand corrected. [02:46] user13: wrong...the firewall IS installed [02:46] because amule keeps saying i have a low id because i am behind a firewall [02:46] i think libtdc++ is not in it [02:46] megaerathia: OK ... two commands (in quotes) are ... "root (hd0,1)" and "chainloader +1" [02:46] mrwes: What is the name of the firewall? [02:46] iptables is installed on default [02:46] MrKlown, are you behind a router? [02:46] mrwes: iptables is not a firewall. [02:46] good as a firewall [02:46] both dont do anything, skapare [02:46] usr13:do you mean firestarter? [02:46] megaerathia: so don't type the quotes ... just the commands in the quotes [02:46] yeah it is mrwes but it also allows all access to begin with so that shouldn't be bothering [02:46] rwrw so that's normal? [02:47] A_finalx: Yes firestarter [02:47] usser i am but i made no changes to my router [02:47] <[person]> syntax\, you'll only lose any data that is being resized over, so if you only had ubuntu installed and no data whatsoever, as long as there was enough space to allow for resizing any partition, it will not interfere with the data [02:47] i used limewire fine on windows [02:47] usr13:so install it :) [02:47] megaerathia: if it fails, try variations: (hd0,0) and (hd0,2) [02:47] hey guys i pluged my USB into ubuntu and i cant get the pirmissions onto it [02:47] MrKlown, correct, are you port forwarding for amule? [02:47] That is what I said firestarter [02:47] use frostwire its free and better [02:47] MrKlown, limewire does some pnp magic, emule/amule doesnt [02:47] usser, nevermind, I was too quick to say it worked, it gave me an error when I actually added a few lines to the code (instead of just return 0). I got it working with "-Llua5.1". Again, thanks for the help. [02:47] Already tried many differend [02:47] MrKlown, you have to manually forward emule ports in the router to your machine [02:47] no mrwes and i would but how do i figure out which port needs forwarded? [02:47] megaerathia: if any of these bring up windows, then we at least learn where windows is [02:47] hd 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4 1,0 [02:47] http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libstdc++6 = error :( [02:48] None worked. [02:48] ufw or Gufw is now the perferred app for firewall [02:48] lol i doubt there is a linux version of limewire [02:48] i need something 'simple' [02:48] there is of frostwire [02:48] there should be, it's a java app [02:48] hamburglar: apt-get install g++ [02:48] Perspione, it should be -llua5.1 actually [02:48] megaerathia: which partition did you install ubuntu on? [02:48] www.frostwire.com [02:48] MrKlown, couldn't tell ya, I use torrent clients :) [02:48] woot tt ty [02:48] I don't remember. [02:48] !info frostwire | MrKlown [02:48] MrKlown: Package frostwire does not exist in intrepid [02:48] MrKlown, aw anyway google frostwire [02:48] A_finalx 0 updated 0 installed etc. etc. [02:49] yeah i am downloading it now [02:49] :( [02:49] woohoo [02:49] megaerathia: I hope you didn't overwrite windows ... if you did you'll need to contact your computer manufacturer to get a recovery disk [02:49] down load it it has a .deb use the package installer to installer to install it works perfict [02:49] amule is just a tad too complicated for me, i was a microsoft dude up until today so this is all a bit daunting [02:49] It didn't cause it showed two Window vista longhorn's when booting before. [02:49] yeah tt that's what i am doing now thanks :) [02:49] ok cool [02:50] megaerathia: just showing that they exist doesn't mean they are not corrupted by an overwrite [02:50] it says i have libstdc++6 [02:50] in my package manager [02:50] now i've heard this, no idea how true it is that technically it is harder to get viruses on a linux machine yes [02:50] can any one tell me why this gets said bash: /dev/sdb1: Permission denied [02:50] blah....Mrklown use Deluge or Transmission [02:50] !viruses | MrKlown [02:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about viruses [02:50] Skapare: If I boot a live CD, What should I do to fix the ownership? [02:50] !virus | MrKlown [02:50] MrKlown: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [02:50] silly plurals === mythos[MC] is now known as lp84 [02:50] hamburglar: do you have gui? maybe you can install an older version of libtdc++ [02:50] * usser its virii silly :P [02:50] bullgard4: are there any tools in particular you would recommend? or any ideas as to why this would have happened in the first place? it's formatted as boring ol' FAT32 [02:50] TarBar: go into terminal and do: df [02:50] just got disk boot failure after installing ubuntu server, did i do something wrong? [02:51] It's not corrupted, cause linux won't boot either. [02:51] Only give me rapid internal speaker beeps [02:51] yeah i still think it has to be a lot harder to get a virus on ubuntu than linux lol [02:51] mmm [02:51] a_finalx gui? [02:51] errr [02:51] installation looked successful [02:51] than windows [02:51] hamburglar:X [02:51] Skapare: Done. [02:51] sounds ambiguous. i am certainly using a gui [02:51] TarBar: see if the hard drive is mounted ... if not, you'll need to mount it ... but accessing it from the desktop could accomplish that for you [02:51] TarBar: once you have the hard drive mounted, do "ls -ld /usr" to verify what state it is in [02:51] TarBar: err, hold [02:52] lol [02:52] k [02:52] TarBar: depends on the mount point ... the mount point path plus "/usr" [02:52] ahhh bless, frostwire is just like limewire, finally something that looks like i remember lol [02:52] TarBar: if ls shows it as a non-root user as you suspect, do: chown 0:0 /mount/point/usr [02:53] MrKlown, check your private messages :) [02:53] TarBar: also check the permissions/mode [02:53] hey if one were to upgrade to ext4 (ext3 forced to ext4) would you see performance increase. or is it only for new files [02:53] Dougshell, new files only [02:53] how must faster is it for those new files... [02:53] Argh [02:54] I might just reinstall. [02:54] ie is it worth doing a reinstall [02:54] Dougshell, i didnt notice any difference [02:54] hamburglar::) search in your package manger "libtdc++" if you can found that libtdc++.so.5 version, you can install it [02:54] TarBar: one of the tests I do when I teach sysadmin class is changing / itself to non-execute ... the error messages get really baffling :) [02:54] lol [02:54] how do i setup the download part of xchat so i can get a picture from another computer but we hav the same ip? [02:54] How can i get com 1 to work on virtualbox? [02:54] Dougshell, you could convert it ext4 then boot jaunty livecd and copy ALL the files on the hdd and back again [02:54] Dougshell, that'll get it all converted [02:54] TarBar: if it's just wrong owner on /usr this is easy to fix ... just got to look in the right place [02:55] lol hope you enjoy MrKlown [02:55] I can't mount my HD's though [02:55] copy it to where ...like extenal hdd [02:55] It's strange. [02:55] Gobby: could you re-state your question? [02:55] TarBar: it's hard for me to see what you see [02:55] Hmm, sure [02:55] Dougshell, yea something like that, or over network, just somewhere [02:55] Indeed. [02:55] Dougshell, back up first [02:55] TarBar: what did you do when it can't mount HD ? [02:55] ok i c === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:55] Okay, what i am trying to do is get another picture off of another computer in my own household, but we have the same ip. how would i set this up? [02:56] i have about 400gm of music and videos it woudl take to long [02:56] whats a good way to make a program start at boot on ubuntu SERVER [02:56] Well I could click on system and select the HD name but now when i do that nothing happens as well as network, connect to server etc. [02:56] maybe i need to set up a seperate home partition [02:56] i have been meaning to do that [02:56] Gobby: 2 computers can not have the same IP address. [02:56] what is the best way to do that without a reinstall [02:56] Yay I'm playing gnometris, cause that's the only thing I can do since linux screwed up my computer. [02:56] We are connected to one internet ip.

[03:15] !helpme | James296 [03:15] James296: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [03:15] can the iSCSI initator be setup to failover to another target? [03:15] mobi-sheep: you can switch between sessions using ctrl+alt+f7 and ctrl+alt+f8 [03:16] Ive been waiting for a mere 15 minutes! [03:16] with no responses at all [03:16] mobi-sheep: each one will have different programs running on it [03:16] mobi-sheep, having problem getting it change to separate x [03:16] mobi-sheep: s/running on/using/ [03:16] James296: I have no idea what you issue is because all I read is "waiting..." etc. [03:16] James296: this is a hospital emergency room ... people die here all the time [03:16] lstarnes: That's pretty cool.

[03:17] TarBar: ah, dirt or dust [03:17] Yeah [03:17] James296: Your "Ugly Mark All Upgrades" is not important. I suggest you to learn to use terminal to upgrade. It's more faster / nicer this way.

[03:19] TarBar: a little more complicated with ISOs ... the Jaunty UNR image, however, is built for direct "dd" to a USB key [03:19] James296: then you may need to manually modify the theme [03:19] Oh cool :) [03:19] James296: or you could just live with that button [03:19] also the buttons in Rhythmbox [03:19] BadEagle, not really, it doesnt guarantee that it will end up in the beginning of the disk, i still do it just because im used to [03:19] Skapare: Where is that Jaunty UNR image iso? I have a netbook that I'd love to mess around with. [03:19] I have a USB device which is listed in lsusb, but not in fdisk -l. Is there any way to mount it then?

[03:34] dell.... [03:34] * Mike_lifeguard googles [03:34] jedi06: did you try: cat /proc/scsi/device_info ? [03:34] I just installed xchat-gnome. That looks better. Thanks to [03:34] oh [03:34] oh, yeah, that's a better idea :D [03:34] Sda1,2,5 are mounted. [03:34] fell_: NO you do not want xchat-gnome [03:34] fell_: get real xchat then /join #xchat [03:34] TarBar: on /tmp/sda1 and /tmp/sda2 and /tmp/sda5 ? [03:34] DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 [03:35] fell_: xchat-gnome is a hacked down version, ugh [03:35] (though it's not so bad I meant to shout, that was an accident :P) [03:35] Mike_lifeguard: It's okay. I don't wanna mess with scripts - I'm new to irc. [03:35] no usr13 i will try that now [03:35] bah, whatever :) [03:35] it works [03:36] jedi06: You can also install sysinfo (its GUI ) [03:36] well ttyl leter i found a xubuntu channel which is what i need [03:36] later [03:36] TarBar: do this: ls -ld /tmp/sda{1,2,5}/etc/fstab [03:36] Ok [03:36] I fixed it! [03:37] damn, my xchat-gnome crashed... [03:37] somehow when I switched out of monitor mode, I turned on ipv-6 or something like that [03:37] Skapare: It said no such directory for any of them. [03:37] I liked the plain xchat better then the -gnome one [03:37] TarBar: hmmm [03:38] :/ [03:39] anyone know why i'd get permission denied when trying to chroot from the livecd? [03:39] TarBar: do this and put the results on a paste site like http:/rafb.net/paste/ ... ls -Alv /tmp/sda{1,2,5} [03:39] hey, should my wireless card be set to multicast? [03:39] I like the gnome one better [03:39] wgato: didn't login as root [03:40] wgato: tried sudo? [03:40] i was root when i did it [03:40] is it possible to mount something with the bus/device numbers? [03:40] wgato: the chroot directory doesn't allow execute [03:40] wgato: Give the exact command you used [03:40] port 585 is used for imap4-ssl 993 is imaps.. what's the difference? [03:40] Skapare: http://rafb.net/p/KPG4wd70.html [03:41] as root, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt, chroot /mnt [03:41] TarBar: ouch ... they are empty ... do this and put its results up: cat /proc/partitions [03:42] Anyone know if I should run my wireless as multicast or not? [03:42] wgato: Did you successfully mount it on /mnt (And /mnt was previously empty?) [03:42] That can't be good, 1 sec. [03:42] yes, i can cd into it and see my hd [03:42] wgato: ls /mnt [03:43] TheFunkbomb_: I don't know. But I would be interested in the answer if someone else helps you. [03:43] wgato: /dev/sda1 is where your root partition is? / [03:43] Mike_lifeguard, I seriously screwed up my wireless lol [03:43] Meanwhile, I don't think I /can/ mount anything with the info I have :( [03:43] floopy/ /hda /live /sda1 /sda3 /sdb1 [03:44] wgato: What CD did you use? (Sure you're not already chrooted to it?) [03:44] ubuntu 7.10 live. not sure about the already chroot into it [03:44] Skapare: http://rafb.net/p/t7j3hi39.html [03:45] TheFunkbomb_: how? I just let ubuntu work it's magic, and here we are talking to one another :P [03:45] anybody know of any open source email archiving/search and retireval solutions [03:45] *retrieval [03:45] Mike_lifeguard, I put it into monitor mode and then back [03:45] !netsplit [03:45] wgato: You do not need to cd onto the mount point to mount it. Ok? [03:45] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [03:45] mmm [03:46] TarBar: my bad ... need /proc/partitions [03:46] Awesome netsplit [03:46] usr13, yes [03:46] I wrote out the wrong thing Skapare? [03:46] i dont need to, just saying i can [03:46] TarBar: yeah but I gave the wrong command [03:47] edgex-_: no need to add to the noise level by talking about it, really :) [03:47] GAH! [03:47] Not again [03:47] lol [03:47] wgato: Not sure why it would tell you that you do not have permission. [03:47] Mike_lifeguard, aww :( [03:47] TarBar: ouch ... they are empty ... do this and put its results up: cat /proc/partitions <--- should be: cat /proc/mounts [03:47] i am trying to follow these suggestions: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/crash-and-kernel-reinstall-719188/?posted=1#post3510908 [03:47] edgex-_: #ubuntu iz srs biz :| [03:47] srs bsns [03:47] mado [03:47] wgato: Try another boot disk [03:48] Skapare: You want /proc/mounts? [03:48] yes [03:48] It's long o.o [03:48] lol [03:48] OK, so I've read man mount and... still have no clue. I don't see any option that looks likely to work here. === wexell is now known as wexell32 [03:48] man mount - oh yeah stick it in my ass === j is now known as Guest72513 [03:49] usr13, where would it be under Hardware? [03:49] ok i actually wanted to know if that kind of non mechanical encrypted hard drive exist to parchase and if that will be fine to use in linux [03:49] how do I boot my other name if I don't know the password? [03:49] jedi06: ? === rww is now known as Guest52668 [03:49] the cdrom [03:49] I know it is in /dev/scd0 [03:50] I accidentally the whole boot disk. [03:50] vbox sees it [03:50] anyone? [03:50] uiyfkutf: maybe if you live close by :o [03:50] usr13 where is the cdrom located in sysinfo i don't see it [03:50] jedi06: Storage devices [03:50] ok i see it === TheFunkbomb_ is now known as TheFunkbomb [03:51] TheFunkbomb_, you mean another user? must have either password or root access [03:52] Skapare: Almost done, Just takes a while to write out. [03:52] TarBar: are you pasting the output to rafb one line at a time? [03:52] Yeah [03:52] Well writing it ou.. [03:53] oh, yeah, you aren't on IRC in the live CD system [03:53] Nah [03:53] Lol [03:53] hello [03:53] can anybody help me ? [03:53] depends [03:53] perlooooooooo, probably [03:53] TarBar: maybe a digital camera would be handy :) [03:53] what is your issue? [03:53] usr13 is there any way to get more info on the cdrom like firmware? [03:53] Skapare: mmm lol [03:53] TarBar: I've done debugging that way, too [03:53] my real problem is that ubuntu wont boot. stops at [03:53] Init: Error parsing configuration: No such file or directory [03:53] Skapare: It's a pain in the ass eh. [03:53] Hello, I'm rather new to this whole thing. Is making a CD required? [03:54] TarBar: when I get a kernel panic and it's hard frozen, the camera documents it [03:54] !netsplit [03:54] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [03:54] Is there any way to get more info on the cdrom like firmware? [03:54] dadokiek: making a cd for what ¿¿ [03:54] dadokiek: you can ask to have them send you a CD [03:54] dadokiek, are you talking about an iso? [03:55] hi === Vincent is now known as Guest84412 [03:55] i need some help with compiz [03:55] Skapare: http://rafb.net/p/FSujHU85.html [03:55] * Skapare has switched to using USB keys instead of CD/DVD [03:55] I downloaded the zip file and I'm not sure if I have to make the CD to run the new OS. I'm currently on vista [03:55] dadokiek, what do you want to do? [03:55] !ask [03:55] 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. :-) [03:56] How do i find out what firmware my cdrom has [03:56] ahmad, and all : http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [03:56] dadokiek: the ZIP file ¿¿?? [03:56] Where would I find a description of error codes for lsusb? [03:56] ubottu: sorry [03:56] It's ok, I can't stay mad at you. Those darned ewoks on the other hand... [03:56] I just downloaded ubuntu and not sure how to run it [03:56] hey whats the best FS to use for a slow IDE drive ? [03:56] TheFunkbomb_ [03:56] hmm [03:56] ok so here is my problem i am trying to set up a web server at home so i installed apache and opened the port 80 of my router.so far so good. [03:56] when my friend is trying to see the website everything works fine until when the url in the host goes from http://Myipadress/index.com to http://localhost/index.com .i think this is hapenng because we are in the same network we are both using a the same wifi connection. how can i fix that? [03:56] TarBar: looks like something else already mounted them elsewhere [03:57] dadokiek: Ubuntu GNU/Linux is an OS, is not a program [03:57] TarBar: do this: ls -ld /media/sda{1,2}/usr [03:57] you have to burn the image to run it in your computer [03:57] I'm not exactly sure how to run the OS [03:57] thanks for helping [03:57] I'm having an issue with skype. When I open it, the window briefly appears and then closes. When launched from terminal it simply gives the message 'Aborted'. I've googled, found one other person with similar issue, but no resolution. [03:57] Skapare: No such file or directory for both of them. [03:57] That's what I mean. So I need to burn the image, then restart my computer? [03:57] Is there anyway to find out the firmware version of my cdrom YES/NO? [03:58] could someone connected via wireless do an ifconfig and post the results to a pastebin? [03:58] dadokiek: yes [03:58] TarBar: ls -Alv /media/sda{1,2} [03:58] TarBar: see if there is anything in there [03:58] hey all. i have a bit of a difficult question. i am looking for a open source database program to keep track of resumes (able to put notes in, etc,), create forms such as business reports for each consultant, basically a HR system. any ideas?? or maybe a database with templates that i can customize?? [03:58] what do you mean? [03:58] dadokiek: with the CD in the drive (& boot to the CD -- right at the beginning of boot you'll see an option to choose boot options or something similar - use that to choose to boot from cdrom) [03:58] Skapare: That's huge, What am i looking for? [03:58] I've also heard something about linux eating windows if it isn't partitioned properly, is this true? If it is how could I prevent it? [03:58] dadokiek: you are supossed to burn an ISO file, not a ZIP............ [03:59] zgmf-x42s mysql or sqlite [03:59] TarBar: how many files would be a start === eus is now known as eusu_kefuin [03:59] dadokiek: it's possible to screw up, but *I* did it no problem (and I had to do it the hard way) [03:59] sorry, zip and iso are the same icon currently [03:59] Skapare: That lists the contents of my C disk however ubuntu is installed on the D disk. [03:59] el_taco: do those come with templates?? [03:59] whats the best FS to use for a slow IDE drive ? [03:59] TarBar: so on partition 2? [03:59] Probably like 30 files. [03:59] dadokiek: You can also use Wubi [04:00] so it's as simple as just burning the iso, and then restarting and it will ask me to choose the OS when I do so? [04:00] use wubi???? [04:00] TarBar: type a few of them on ONE line here [04:00] ok [04:00] Could someone connected via wireless please do an ifconfig and post the results to a pastebin for me? [04:00] dadokiek, when the parition part of the setup comes up, pay attention not to delete your old windows partition. If you are in doubt, try wubi then [04:00] Skapare: Do you need all the permissions and stuff for them or just the file/folder names [04:00] zgmf-x42s sorry misunderstood the question... those are just the backend databases.. no gui with them. [04:01] TarBar: just a few names so I can see where it is [04:01] dadokiek: It's a Windows based installer that installs Ubuntu as a program inside of Windows... I've done it both ways, and I recommend a native installation, but if you're just looking for a trial, it's quick and easy. [04:01] how would I use wubi? [04:01] el_taco: hmmm ic, yes i am looking for a full solution, with gui, etc [04:01] oh [04:01] TarBar: if it is / then there should be a directory named usr [04:01] dadokiek: You can use any application that will mount an ISO file, and then just do the autorun. [04:01] hi all... is anybody having problems with launchpad? i'm not able to comment/report bugs, open url just times out! [04:01] wubi isn't the same though, is it? [04:02] dadokiek, just put the cd in when you are in windows and the autorun will show it to you [04:02] whats the best FS to use for a slow IDE drive ? [04:02] Skapare: wubildr.mbr,Program Files, Recycler, MSDOS. On sda1 there is winbom.ini,ntldr,Valueadd. [04:02] TarBar: I have 30 mins max remaining [04:02] ah [04:02] TarBar: that's a Windows partition [04:02] dadokiek: It's an installed version of Ubuntu, and it's a full version, but it's not as fast, and I've run into some issues with it in the past. If you're looking for a permanent installation, I woudn't do it, but if you're just trying Ubuntu, then it works well. [04:02] 'm having an issue with skype. When I open it, the window briefly appears and then closes. When launched from terminal it simply gives the message 'Aborted'. I've googled, found one other person with similar issue, but no resolution. Reinstallation does not resolve issue. [04:03] so, if I have a backtrace dealing with nVidia, is it smart to report it to Launchpad or will that not help at all because nVidia has to fix it anyway? [04:03] TarBar: what's in the other one? [04:03] dadokiek: wubi is apparently not recommended - I'd just do a normal dual-boot installation [04:03] dadokiek: I agree with Mike_lifeguard, but if you're looking for a quick and dirty trial, it does in a pinch. [04:03] After burning the image, restart the comp with that disk in, correct? [04:03] yes [04:03] Yeppers. [04:03] sda1 has winbom.ini,ntldr,sony.i01,support,recycler,APR [04:03] alrighty [04:04] * Skapare has noticed over the years that making a dual-boot system has been a major source of actually making a zero-boot system [04:04] If you installed Vista, then you can install Ubuntu, it's an easier installation. [04:04] TarBar: that is Windows, too [04:04] dadokiek: you'll get a session in ubuntu when you do, so you can come back here to get help if you need to (easier than printing out a hard copy of the instructions or something :D ) [04:04] The comp came with vista :P [04:04] Skapare: I need to mount my D drive then. [04:04] Guys, i really need help installing Ubuntu! [04:04] TarBar: partition 5 ? [04:04] DansTheMan: specifically with what? [04:04] Can someone here help me, please? [04:04] Thank you so much! You all really helped out a lot [04:04] Installing [04:04] !ask DansTheMan [04:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask DansTheMan [04:04] TarBar: 2 windows partitions ... has to be C: and D: right there [04:05] dadokiek: Enjoy it! [04:05] I'm on step 4 and i don't know how to pass it [04:05] !ask | DansTheMan [04:05] DansTheMan: 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. :-) [04:05] tes [04:05] DansTheMan: ok, but where are you in the installation process, and what is the problem? [04:05] lol [04:05] Mike_lifeguard: Step 4 [04:05] I want to keep Windows on the machine as well as install Ubuntu [04:05] DansTheMan: Which step is step 4? [04:05] Skapare: It's sda5 you are correct. [04:05] DansTheMan: I don't know what "step 4" is :) [04:05] I have selected Manual [04:05] instead of entire disk [04:05] !medibuntu | plcTowlie [04:05] plcTowlie: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:05] TarBar: windows can map letter designations to other partitions ... can't be sure of what they are [04:05] Mike_lifeguard: It's that partitioning part [04:05] Oh, you're doing the partitioning.. [04:05] DansTheMan: yes, I got stuck there too! Do you see an option to re-partition the drive? [04:06] TarBar: mount /dev/sda5 /tmp/sda5 [04:06] I don't want to re-partition the drive [04:06] DansTheMan: Do you have unpartitioned space on your drive? [04:06] there are 3 options under the tree \dev\sda [04:06] plcTowlie, try un installing your skype, and installing the one available through medibuntu repository [04:06] MyKul: No idea :p [04:06] Skapare: All of that in one line? [04:06] \dev\sda1 \dev\sda2 and \dev\sda3 [04:06] DansTheMan: I'm pretty sure you do, unless you happen to have extra partitions of the right types just laying around O.o [04:06] HAssan, I have tried both that, and using the .deb install package from direct download, both with the same results [04:07] TarBar: that's a mount command to mount partition /dev/sda5 on directory /tmp/sda5 [04:07] I'm trying to install to sda3, but it says Used space is unknown and when i select it and press forward it said wrong file-system or something [04:07] Hey could someone check out my post on Ubuntuforums, it's about GTK+.. If you have an answer to it please tell me, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1127848 [04:07] TarBar: so yeah, all in one command ... that's a small command ... I've typed in commands here that are many times longer [04:07] DansTheMan: what is sda3? type, size? [04:07] Mike_lifeguard: Please help me? :) [04:07] Skapare: it says fusermount: mountpoint is not empty, if you are sure this is safe use the nonempty mount option. Failed to create FUse mount point, no such file or directory. [04:07] * Mike_lifeguard is! [04:07] Size os 54000 mbs [04:08] I suspect it is drive D: [04:08] hey all. i have a bit of a difficult question. i am looking for a open source database program to keep track of resumes (able to put notes in, etc,), create forms such as business reports for each consultant, basically a HR system. any ideas?? or maybe a database with templates that i can customize?? [04:08] C: contains Windows [04:08] I want to install Ubuntu onto drive D: [04:08] plcTowlie, then i'm out of ideas :/ since there is no terminal message. [04:08] DansTheMan: ok, so you need to shrink that partition to make room for the ubuntu partitions [04:08] and they're all ntfs [04:08] the only terminal message is 'Aborted' [04:08] hey guys, i'm a Gentoo user, but Ubuntu Jaunty's shaping up to be quite nice! Congrats on a job well done. [04:08] H_M-Ubuntu: I don't think you need to compile gtk+ [04:08] Mike_lifeguard: How? [04:08] I also don't want to lose all data on that drive [04:08] DansTheMan: so, there is no option to resize right now, amirite? [04:08] anyone know how to check if apc is running? [04:09] * Mike_lifeguard stabs the installer again [04:09] I do if I want to create applications... but continue [04:09] other than through php.info [04:09] zgmf-x42s, try openoffice base, its like access [04:09] If you have another method, please explain. [04:09] Mike_lifeguard: Hold on, let me check :) [04:09] H_M-Ubuntu: look for libgtk2.0, libgtk2.0-dev, and their related libraries in the package manager [04:09] exit [04:09] i hate all of you [04:09] Q!!!! [04:09] fucking hate all of you [04:09] sd [04:09] x2k56vj8j: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:09] fsad [04:09] TarBar: I guess knoppix is using fuse for everything ... all bets are off until I know how it has it configured [04:09] Mike_lifeguard: Nope [04:09] I believe I have them, i'll check. [04:09] TarBar: find a way to burn an Ubuntu CD/DVD [04:09] TarBar: FYI, you can burn a CD ISO to a DVD [04:10] why ubuntu installer wants to format "/" partition, even if no 'format' checkbox is set? [04:10] H_M-Ubuntu: you will also need the -dev versions of certain library packages [04:10] mmm brb. [04:10] I'm aware of that. [04:10] DansTheMan: ok I think you will have to use Gparted to do the partitioning (which will hopefully work for you, it didn't for me, I had to use the terminal to do it (which wasn't a nice intro to ubuntu) [04:10] Lint01: it needs a clean / partition [04:10] TarBar: and I need to be gone in about 20 minutes [04:10] Mike_lifeguard: Sorry, i don't understand [04:10] DansTheMan: so, open System > Administration > Partition editor [04:10] How? [04:10] usser: yes, i have looked at that, but the whole thing has to be customized, its not an up and running solution, thanks though [04:10] I am on the installer. [04:10] I have Windows Vista [04:10] with the mouse? [04:11] is there way to make 'upgrade' install, without deleting anything existing? [04:11] Skapare: I have found a ubuntu disc, I will try it. [04:11] And trying to install Ubuntu Desktop Edition 8.10 [04:11] Mike_lifeguard: Umm, hold on [04:11] TarBar: OK [04:11] DansTheMan: are you in a live session from booting the ubuntu disc? [04:11] Lint01: which version of ubuntu do you have installed already? [04:11] The only one I didn't have was libgtk2.0-dev or equivalent. [04:11] Mike_lifeguard: There is no system [04:11] 8.10, and I want to re-install it [04:11] * H_M-Ubuntu tries compiling something [04:12] Mike_lifeguard: I don't know, i burned the ISO to a dvd rw and i booted from that disk [04:12] TarBar: boot, login, terminal, "sudo /bin/bash", "mkdir /tmp/sda5", "mount /dev/sda5 /tmp/sda5", "ls -ld /tmp/sda5/usr" [04:12] I selected Install ubuntu [04:12] I was following the steps and am now on step 4 [04:12] Lint01: you want to reinstall 8.10? [04:12] out of 7 [04:12] istarnes, yes [04:12] DansTheMan: yeah, ok. So are you not in a session of ubuntu right now? like you have the ubuntu desktop and the installer is in a window? [04:12] Yes [04:13] No, it didn't work. [04:13] * H_M-Ubuntu pastebins. [04:13] hmmmmmmmmmmm orangge HRM looks good [04:13] DansTheMan: ok, so across the top of your screen there should be a bar with "applications" "places" and "system" [04:13] Lint01: then you will most likely need to reformat your / partition (and my nick starts with a lowercase L, not an i) [04:13] http://pastebin.com/m6167cf28 [04:13] DansTheMan: click "system" then "advanced" then "partition editor" [04:13] No, there is no task abr [04:13] *bar [04:13] lstarnes, ^^^^ [04:14] H_M-Ubuntu: did you have libgtk2.0-dev installed when you did that? [04:14] Yes [04:14] H_M-Ubuntu: you are likely missing some -I and -l/-L flags === edgex-_ is now known as edgex-[gettingth === edgex-[gettingth is now known as edge[gettingthin [04:15] Mike_lifeguard: I have the Desktop and this window titled install [04:15] And a visible cursor [04:15] That is it [04:15] Skapare: The livecd is freezing on "try ubuntu without any change to your computer" Guh! [04:15] Ok so how do I compile it then? [04:15] DansTheMan: yes... is there not a bar at the top of the desktop? [04:15] H_M-Ubuntu: try gcc $(gtk-config --cflags) $(gtk-config --libs) -o pbExampleTEST pbExample.c [04:15] DansTheMan: like the bar with the start button on Windows, only at the top [04:15] TarBar: booting from drive attached to ... IDE? SATA? USB? [04:16] Mike_lifeguard: I know, the task bar is not visible [04:16] huh [04:16] Mike_lifeguard: It sounds like he's using the Windows installer. [04:16] That's what it's called, Task bar [04:16] MyKul: I am not, i have booted from the disc [04:16] http://pastebin.com/m530ef0fd [04:16] Skapare: I have no idea, It's a laptop, not usb though. [04:16] H_M-Ubuntu, or the pbExample.c file doesn't have the proper the proper '#include' [04:16] TarBar: you are logged into IRC from a Unix/Linux box? Can the machine with troubles boot from a USB key? [04:16] DansTheMan: does it appear when you move your mouse to the top? [04:16] hi all... is anybody having problems with launchpad? i'm not able to comment/report bugs, open url just times out! [04:17] Umm, let me check :) [04:17] DansTheMan: And you don't have a menu at the top that says Applications Places System? [04:17] macvr: ask in #launchpad [04:17] laptop probably IDE or SATA ... not sure why it freezes unless disk is bad [04:17] macvr: yeah, I've had quite some timeoutes recently [04:17] +spelling [04:17] Probably disk. [04:17] nope [04:17] TarBar: reboot and try the memory test for fun [04:17] O.o [04:17] MyKul: do you know what is going on there? [04:17] what? [04:17] ziroday: Mike_lifeguard ... thanx.. [04:17] Ok [04:17] MyKul: Nope [04:18] DansTheMan: there should be a bar there... though I guess you can open in terminal (don't recall how) [04:18] Not a clue... sounds like Gnome didn't load all the way. [04:18] These are the steps i did in order to get to this [04:18] What color is the desktop? [04:18] freezes on test memory :P [04:18] I might just re-install ubunt.. [04:18] I downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition [04:18] TarBar: if you are on unix/linux on the IRC machine, and the other machine can boot from USB key, and if you have a spare USB key at least big enough for the ISO + 10MB ... I can tell you how to make it boot the ISO [04:18] I burned the ISO to a DVD+RW disc [04:18] Hi there... I installed ubuntu-xen-desktop but my Grub was not touched... seems the kernel xen wasn't installed... how to install the kernel xen on ubuntu ? thank you. [04:18] I restarted the computer, making sure i booted from the disc [04:18] which is what happened [04:18] This one is windows. [04:19] I got this menu to select and language, i chose english [04:19] Err.. anyone still there for my problem?.. [04:19] MyKul: would it matter that it was a dvd? === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [04:19] TarBar: then I can't tell you how to make the USB key from there :-( [04:19] It said either "Try Ubuntu, Install Ubuntu and some other stuff i can't remember" [04:19] it was loading [04:19] Linux isn't as good as windows because it doesn't cost any money [04:19] And then it came up with the steps [04:19] Skapare: Thanks for all of your help, I think I will just have to reinstall though ): [04:19] I can get someone free out of the gutter [04:19] uiyfkutf: go get a bailout [04:19] DansTheMan: did you check the md5 before burning? Did you check the disc's integrity after burning? before starting the installer? [04:19] It said to select a language, which i did [04:19] * H_M-Ubuntu shoots uiyfkutf - Kidding. [04:19] something* [04:19] then to set your city, which i did [04:19] uiyfkutf: stay on topic, please [04:20] lstarnes, you still there? [04:20] ubuntu isn't as good as windows because it doesn't cost any money [04:20] then on to step 3 to set the keyboard layout [04:20] which i did [04:20] uiyfkutf: you dont own your OS [04:20] quality is worse [04:20] H_M-Ubuntu: hold on, I think I figured out the problem [04:20] now on step 4, partitioning [04:20] K [04:20] !troll [04:20] trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubotu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [04:20] Why do I need to [04:20] uiyfkutf: go away [04:20] TarBar: if you haven't lost too much, that's a reasonable option ... been there done that too many times myself [04:20] Mike_lifeguard: No. I doubt the file is corrupt [04:20] Who remembers what the default keyboard shortcut is for opening terminal? [04:20] Is there a live CD for Ubunutu, i.e. a CD I can boot from without having to install everything to the hard disk. [04:20] why does my 4gb flash drive that is empty say there is only 3.5gb free? [04:20] Kethal_: yes [04:21] the normal one does that [04:21] it runs slowly, obviously [04:21] TarBar: in one job many years ago I had to install Slackware on 600 computers in 2 days [04:21] Mike_lifeguard: He can hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 to drop out of X. [04:21] DansTheMan: that's for you :) [04:21] Mike_lifeguard: I got ubuntu from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download === dj801` is now known as dj801 [04:21] Mike_lifeguard: Just download the regular install CD? [04:21] lstarnes, this is the .c file I was trying to compile: http://pastebin.com/m5851b22e [04:21] H_M-Ubuntu: try this: gcc $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0) -o pbExampleTEST pbExample.c [04:21] Kethal_: yes [04:21] I selected my mirror and rpessed Begin Download [04:21] once he's out of X, he can do apt-get install gparted [04:21] I need to put something 3.8gb on it and i can't even though its 4gb flash drive and it empty it says only 3.5gb free [04:21] Skapare: Will just copying the /home folder and getting a list of packages then re-installing be ok? or is there some other directory I should backup? [04:21] It began downloading the iso [04:21] Then when he runs it, it should show back up in the X screen. [04:22] DansTheMan: yeah, me too... I got 2 coasters before this one that worked :D [04:22] That worked [04:22] It worked! [04:22] ok, on terminal [04:22] :) [04:22] H_M-Ubuntu: so do a happy dance [04:22] I AM!!!! [04:22] * H_M-Ubuntu is dancing [04:22] H_M-Ubuntu: I accidentally gave the instructionsfor gtk 1.2 before instead of gtk+ 2.0 [04:22] why doesn't the firefox browser work the same on ubuntu as it does for windows? i can't get a flash game to load and work right eventhough i have the same versionof flash install [04:22] *instructions [04:22] TarBar: that should be about it ... always back up important stuff ... external hard drives and flash devices are wonderful for this these days [04:22] MrKlown: does youtube work? [04:22] Ok, so that is how I need to compile things from now on? [04:22] yes ziro [04:22] MyKul: can you help him some? I dunno what I'm doing in terminal, generally speaking :) [04:23] H_M-Ubuntu: for gtk+ programs, yes [04:23] Why do I need to own my OS? [04:23] * Skapare has all his pr0nz and tun3z backed up 3x [04:23] lol [04:23] Lol [04:23] MrKlown: then its a flash bug. Nothing we can do about it. [04:23] to give an example www.iamklown.com/Screenshot.jpg the blue box is not supposed to show up and start is not clickable [04:23] oh ok [04:23] DansTheMan: Login if you haven't, then type in "apt-get install gparted", minus the " of course. [04:23] ok [04:23] Skapare: I can only think that all my stuff is in /home or does ubuntu hide anything? [04:23] H_M-Ubuntu: it is common to have Makefiles take care of compilation instead of doing everything manyally [04:23] And now, maybe I have a little bit of karma that will get me some help with mounting a USB device which is listed in lsusb but not fdisk -l ? [04:24] MrKlown: err I get a 404 error on that site [04:24] i gave the wrong link but it doesn't matter now [04:24] Why do I need to own my OS? [04:24] DansTheMan: DOH, forgot the sudo.. sorry, "sudo apt-get install gparted" [04:24] www.iamklown.com/Screenshot.png [04:24] lol [04:24] jedi06: A gigabyte is by definition 10^9 bytes, but computer people use 2^30 by convention, which is larger.

[04:24] ktdcjkhytrfd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:25] ziro it's a screenshot of a flash file lol [04:25] Does anyone know a way to move 1TB from a hard disk that stops responding ever 2-3 minutes and unmounts [04:25] * Skapare bows out for now ... be back later (maybe days not hours) [04:25] a screenshot i made [04:25] DansTheMan: Well, when you're at the black screen, it should be asking for your login... [04:25] MrKlown: right, well can I have link to the actual flash file? [04:25] jedi06: Since manufacturers use 10^9, a fact many people don't realize, it's actually fewer bytes than they expect. [04:25] it's a myspace app ziro [04:25] DansTheMan: Just enter your user name, hit enter, and it should request your password. Enter it, and you should get a prompted [04:25] ktdcjkhytrfd, please offopics go to #ubuntu-offtopic , this is the help channel [04:25] so i can't actually link to it [04:25] I didn't set up a username! [04:25] MyKul: only he's got nothing installed yet... there's no users setup [04:26] MrKlown: right, well anyway. Its a flash bug, we can't fix it as flash is closed source [04:26] (frankly, I'd just reboot & hope it loads properly the second time :D) [04:26] MyKul: Also, when i entered sudo apt-get gparted it said "E: Invalid operation gparted" [04:26] K so gcc $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0) -o... i'll have to write that down. [04:26] Thanks again mate. [04:26] DansTheMan: Scraping the bottom of the barrel of memory here, but I think it's ubuntu and a blank password, but it might be ubuntu too.. I haven't done it for a couple years. [04:26] wait nevermind [04:26] * H_M-Ubuntu has been scratching his head on this for a few weeks. [04:26] that sucks [04:26] i forgot install [04:26] Mike_lifeguard: thanks [04:26] Anyone know how I can move large amounts of data with many interruptions without loosing any of the progress [04:27] Hassanakevazir: torrent [04:27] Ok i enetered sudo apt-get install gparted [04:27] Hassanakevazir: rsync [04:27] and it came up building dependancy tree, etc, etc [04:27] DansTheMan: Wait, it said "E: Invalid Operation"? That's a Windows error. [04:27] Anyway now the fun part, developing my application..... [04:27] MyKul: It said "E: invalid operation gparted" [04:27] DansTheMan: When you booted, did you boot into windows at all? [04:27] no, from the disc [04:28] Lint01, its a local usb hard drive, jtaji thx , i'll look into that [04:28] My boot order is disc first then hdd [04:28] i restarted my pc now it looks like the resolution is low [04:28] DansTheMan: like, at the beginning you went into the boot options and forced it to boot from cd [04:28] Mike_lifeguard: yes [04:28] argh! I dunno what's going on [04:28] Heh, OK, that is an apt error, my bad.. never seen that before. [04:28] Mike_lifeguard: Neither do i! [04:28] * Mike_lifeguard wishes to be able to see your screen :P [04:28] it was set at 1680x1050 now the highest it can go is to 1024 and 1680x1050 isnt even an option [04:28] I had to try it.. it happens when you don't add the install to the apt-get. [04:29] MyKul: 13:26 DansTheMan Ok i enetered sudo apt-get install gparted 13:26 jtaji Hassanakevazir: rsync 13:26 DansTheMan and it came up building dependancy tree, etc, etc [04:29] hmm [04:29] Hassanakevazir: for local it's easy, just like cp, rsync -av source dest [04:30] does anyone know the vga code for 1920x1080 to use in grub's menu.list ??? [04:30] This is ridiculous [04:30] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:30] It was supposed to be "easy" [04:30] DansTheMan: deep breath, restart, hope it loads properly? [04:30] DansTheMan: you think that's hard?! [04:30] I think it did [04:30] jtaji, great, It has a page full of flag options and 3000 lines of man page. that simplified it. [04:30] DansTheMan: OK, after if finishes the "building the dependancy tree" stuff, you should be able to type in "sudo gparted".. It'll kick you back to graphics mode, but you should have the partitioner... [04:30] Mike_lifeguard: Not overally, but i must admit, Windows was a lot easier :) [04:30] well you didn't install it did you [04:30] DansTheMan: if the install didn't complete, why not reinstall? [04:30] i restarted my pc and now my resolution is off and the correct resolution isnt showing up whats wrong? [04:31] DansTheMan: Don't worry, I'm going to be going through the same stuff next week... have a rebuild coming up.. :D [04:31] DansTheMan: for perspective, I had to use ntfsresize --bad-sectors and parted from terminal to partition my drive (not fun) - I don't think you're quite to that point yet, so count your blessings :P [04:31] Am I right in thinking that the significant lag I'm experiencing in Jaunty is due to a regression in the Intel drivers used in Ubuntu? [04:32] MyKul: gpartedbin:16073: Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [04:32] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [04:32] DansTheMan: you can use parted (ie commandline, not the graphical frontend) [04:32] Crap. === Cueball is now known as Cueball|2 [04:32] maybe [04:32] You're going to have to walk him through that.. I've never used it. [04:32] and... I have cut my tongue [04:33] Jesus christ! [04:33] Why does it have to be so confusing! [04:33] Where? [04:33] in my mouth [04:33] Jesus Christ is in your mouth? [04:33] * Mike_lifeguard looks up the mailing list posts... [04:33] DansTheMan: please, calm down. [04:33] no, I cut my tongue in my mouth :D [04:34] DansTheMan: hold on a moment, I will walk you through using parted [04:34] Mike_lifeguard: Will it work and not screw up my computer and keep Windows? [04:34] i restarted my pc and now my resolution is off and the correct resolution isnt showing up whats wrong? i cant fix this [04:34] Venko: There have been several reports about issues, yes. there's some points in the release notes about possibility of downgrading I think... [04:34] DansTheMan: It worked for me, so "probably" [04:34] hello. [04:35] DansTheMan: (there are no warranties on irc) [04:35] Venko: #ubuntu+1 for jaunty support. [04:35] ienorand: As in the packages in the repositories may be downgraded or there's instructions for me to do it? [04:35] can someone tell me what is twitter? Where and all it can be used? [04:35] OK tritium [04:35] Mike_lifeguard: lol, i know :p But do you also have Windows installed? [04:35] Yes [04:35] ok [04:35] krishnan: It's a microblog.. check out http://www.twitter.com [04:35] Vista? [04:35] @krishnan: www.twitter.com ... 140-characters of status updates per entry ('micro-blogging') [04:35] oh, crap, you have vista, which apparently is finnicky about partitions [04:35] I had XP [04:35] I *think* you will have to use Vista's partitioner [04:36] whatever that is [04:36] Hassanakevazir: It looks like grsync is a front end to rsync, which may be helpful. [04:36] diskpart or something? [04:36] Mike_lifeguard: lol [04:36] I have no idea [04:36] digitalchemist: wats is microblogging? [04:36] hold on, looking [04:36] MyKul: wats is microblogging? [04:36] !offtopic [04:36] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:36] krishnan: this is a support channel for the ubuntu operating system [04:36] @krishnan: it's called microblogging because posts are limited to 140 characters [04:36] Mike_lifeguard: You can use the Disk Manager, just like you would in Windows 2003/2008.. It's pretty simple. [04:36] krishnan: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=twitter&l=1 [04:36] how would one go about trying to remove flash from your computer? [04:37] DansTheMan: ok, so you'll have to boot back into windows to do the partitioning [04:37] What version of OpenGL does Hardy support on 6 series nvidia cards? [04:37] Venko: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 [04:37] Anybody know how to get a Lexmark X4530m working with Linux (scan and print, usb or wireless)? [04:37] DansTheMan: then afterwards, boot into the install cd and finish everything else [04:37] Mike_lifeguard: thanks for reminding. i guess you should be having more important work than moral policing. [04:37] where do you know how long your computer has been running? [04:37] Mike_lifeguard: thanks for reminding. i guess you should be having more important work than moral policing. [04:37] ienorand: cheers :) [04:37] umwhat? [04:37] umm, ok [04:37] hey guys whats the thing starting with n that lets you copy things to root files [04:37] thaanks :p [04:37] efrenefren: uptime on command line [04:37] He should be able to ask that here ... it's no more off topic than asking how to use gparted [04:38] Sheesh, just rotated the compiz cube 6 times before I found songbird to hit next. [04:38] bbl [04:38] k [04:38] ok thanks Kethal_ :) [04:38] Thanks a lot Mike_lifeguard and MyKul! You have been a great help with assisting me on this issue. Hopefully it'll become resolved when i use the partitioner :) [04:38] Good luck DansTheMan. [04:38] nutrilius [04:38] same here [04:38] Thank you MyKul and Mike_lifeguard :) [04:39] DansTheMan: hold on a sec... [04:39] Well, that didn't work. [04:39] whatever [04:39] Does Hardy 8.04 support OpenGL 2.0 on 6 series nvidia cards? [04:39] Hope it wasn't important, like "To disarm the bomb, clip the red wire" [04:39] Venko: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance < That one seems to be a pretty comprehensive rundown of the whole shebang. [04:39] naw, just a link to the thread for when I had the same issue (almost): https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2009-April/180090.html [04:39] Kethal_, thanks , i'll try that too [04:40] how big should i make my swap with 2gb ram ? [04:40] i noticed all apt-get update does is updates the repo....is sudo apt-get upgrade what updates the system [04:40] err, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2009-April/180136.html [04:41] Hassanakevazir: Conduit for Gnome also looks promising [04:41] MyKul: I've found that I never actually use the cube... I just clog windows and use compiz scale, works brilliantly. === Guest67817 is now known as kalpik [04:42] Because I still like using KDE 3 on 8.04 ,but I want to use OpenGL 2.0 for programming. I have 6 series card did the driver on Hardy support OpenGL 2.0 [04:42] ienorand: I like the cube because (very shallow here), it's flashy... I've made 7 Ubuntu cds just because friends/coworkers are like flies to a flame with that cube.. [04:43] Kethal_, nah, thats for gnome, I'm looking for moving 1TB files, Grsync seems solid, also has a option for FAT32 which I was going to miss if I used CLI [04:43] gnome-volume-manager is supposed to automagically detect & mount removable devices like USB drives, yes? [04:43] hey guys, i got a question... [04:43] i am using kubuntu and i just downloaded the latest virtualbox-ose .deb file. when i tried to install it, i got an error message telling me: "dependency not satisfiable: libqt4-network" well the problem is that i cannot find that package in apt-get or adept manager... even after updating packages. anyone know where i can get it? [04:43] kev_: just ask it [04:44] i did ;) [04:44] MyKul: True, cube is still one of the main ubuntu-missionaries, and I guess some people to find it very useful... I don't though... [04:44] If it is running, I should find it with something like 'ps x|grep volume' right? [04:44] If it's not found, then it's not running - how would I start it? [04:45] @kev_ ... maybe here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/libqt4-network [04:45] Are there programs like conduit for KDE? Can I sync Google Calendar with KOrganizer? [04:45] Mike_lifeguard: try ps ax, it might not be running as your user [04:45] Mike_lifeguard: Try "ps aux|grep -i volume" [04:45] k, thx [04:46] I see /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-hal-volume-monitor and /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor, neither of which look right [04:46] !netsplit [04:46] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [04:46] ienorand: That's working a lot better now. Thanks so much :) [04:46] digitalchemist: so it's not a particular package, just a combination of certain packages? === joeyjones is now known as joey [04:47] Mike_lifeguard: actually gvfs-hal-volume-monitor is it [04:47] ienorand: I don't mind it.. I just full screen pretty much everything and never alt-tab.. just skip through desktops with my mouse scrolll wheel. === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [04:47] @kev_ appears to be. That was the first page Google returned ... and it's referenced again @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=978572 [04:47] hm [04:47] so why isn't it monitoring the volumes? XD [04:48] Mike_lifeguard: Did you try killing the process and restarting it? === dalbo is now known as andie [04:48] I'm about to :) [04:48] Venko: Did you go through with downgrade? [04:48] @kev_: later in the post someone mentions that they had to enable "Unsupported updates" in Software Sources to get it to show up in apt [04:48] I'm having difficulties with NFSv4 and permissions. All files on the clients are listed as UID/GID 4294967294. [04:48] ienorand: Yeah, just added the repository and installed the package and everything is fluid again like with Intrepid [04:48] digitalchemist: ok, give me a few seconds to try that. i'll brb to let you know how i make out [04:49] i have a python question how do i load math library into idle [04:49] I is there any mp3 player which is command line interface base? [04:49] Burntresistor: import matg [04:49] MyKul: er, how would I restart it? just do /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-hal-volume-monitor at the prompt? [04:49] agoy: mpg123 [04:49] Burntresistor: I mean import math [04:49] Venko: Seems like there is going to be a lot of people needing to go though that process then... [04:50] agoy: VLC can be run on the command line [04:50] i tired import math nothing happens it doesnt recognize the pi command ' [04:50] agoy, mplayer [04:50] Burntresistor: try math.pi [04:50] ienorand: Worth scripting a command to give people the answer, I think [04:50] /intel [name] [04:50] @Burntresistor: math.pi, otherwise 'from math import pi' [04:50] mike_lifeguard: Might be a service...

[05:53] lstarnes im installing a new copy [05:53] lstarnes im moving from windows 7 [05:53] wahnfrieden, you do have a recycle bin called trash [05:54] celthunder: dude all those issues are back.. now i cant mount that drive .. could you take a look at my fstab? [05:54] somedud3: you've added the extended but have you hit "apply" in gparted after creating it? it might not allow creation of any partitions in the extended portion until that partition is written correctly. [05:54] oh so anything i rm is undo-able? [05:54] wahnfrieden, just don't remove from command line -- rm or it won't go to trash [05:54] celthunder: http://pastebin.com/m426cd011 [05:54] scunizi: yeah it applied fine, but after that i cant add anything in the unallocated space under the extended part [05:54] is there a shortcut to move to trash from command line [05:54] i've used ifconfig --help and read the manpage [05:55] i have a dreamweaver.exe ...would it work in linux? [05:55] What does it mean when there is a * instead of a "x" in the second field of a /etc/passwd entry? I know the "x" means it has a shadow pw, but what is the *? [05:55] vegombrei, ok one sec looking === Guest63857 is now known as joey [05:55] somedud3: have you tried restarting the live cd and system to see if that makes a difference? === joey is now known as Guest21130 [05:55] scunizi: no guess i should try that [05:55] vegombrei, k which drive wont mount? [05:55] somedud3: worth a shot [05:56] Booh: u can use vlc and with that u can convert ur files [05:57] Also, what does the "+" mean in the file permissions "drwx------+" ? [05:57] scunizi: but basically after i try to apply it gives that error ( no such directory), and shows there is an 'unknown partition' there, and if i try to format that partition i get the same error [05:57] ok thanks koolkartik [05:57] somedud3: that after hitting "new" to create a new partition? [05:58] killedkillerb read *this* man page === Guest21130 is now known as joey === joey is now known as Guest36005 [05:59] Wow! and the sound is better... !!! a lot better!

The installer sees my configured raid0, but after install I get a "no OS installed" error. I can't use linux softraid because the array has a dedicated windows 7 partition and the installer only lets me configure the separate disks if the raid is turned off in the bios [06:03] if i install the 9.04 RC will i be able to upgrade it to the final when its out?

[06:29] nadan nvm thats process links....i think [06:29] and could use some help === joey is now known as Guest17590 [06:30] celthunder lol not sure to be honest quite what it did... i guess it gave the details of the hole process or something [06:30] kebomix ok type ifconfig -a whats the output? [06:30] BlueEagle: Ok, i'm running from live CD then :) [06:30] People, please help, i am stuck :( [06:30] nadan yeah...it shows the process calls sorry not the files...though im sure if you followed the process calls it would show what files... [06:31] danstheman what you need help with [06:31] celthunder, actually it did... thank you [06:31] nadan lol neato [06:31] i got an Nvidia Geforce 6600 [06:32] OKAY, THAT'S ANNOYING, IT WAS THE "DESKTOP EFFECTS" SOMEHOW SWALLOWING MY SHIFT KEYS :( [06:32] and i cant [06:32] set my resolution [06:32] above 600*800 [06:32] why :[ [06:32] say I have a wav file, and an avi file. i want to kill whatever sound the avi contains, and embed the wav into the avi (which needs to be lined up precisely. any ubuntu-friend software recommendations?

[06:32] celthunder: http://i40.tinypic.com/2h80r2s.png [06:32] sorry, apparently it also swallowed a capslock event :/ [06:32] I cannot get passed that step [06:32] raulh do you have the drivers installed [06:32] i tried but it failed [06:32] raulh: go to system/Admin/hardware drivers and activate the 173 driver.. not the 177 driver.. === Guest17590 is now known as joey [06:32] danstheman: Are you using a raid setup with sata disks? [06:32] hey, is there a way that I can rotate my secondary display 180 degrees with compiz? [06:32] alright i activated the 'reccommended' [06:32] I think i have a SATA disk [06:32] I have an nvidia card, and nvidia-settings doesn't have any options to do so... [06:33] and i am unsure what you mean by RAID === joey is now known as Guest52336 [06:33] eugen, sounds more like a job for xrandr [06:33] dantheman...install your sata drivers [06:33] danstheman: When unsure; google. [06:33] How? [06:33] so I've tried setting TZ as :America/New_York and America/New_York in both .profile and .bashrc and the panel clock applet still shows the system timezone. any suggestions? [06:33] I thought linux had all the drivers [06:33] Danstheman: did you try the other option from the boot menu - Install Ubuntu , underneath the Try... [06:33] bleh, it's on a deadlock at 88% [06:34] dantheman raid is whre you use mutlitple disks as if they were one (raid 0) raid 1 is mirroring (one is just backup) 5 is ..spreading data across mutliple drives with one not used just in case a different one fails (5 might be something else but sounds right) [06:34] browndog: Yes, however, i could not install it to drive D:\ [06:34] btw, bash notices when I set the variable in .profile or .bashrc [06:34] oh [06:34] raulh: what was the recommended? the 173, 177 or 180 driver? [06:34] I only have one disc drive [06:34] celthunder, that strace is actually pretty cool did it on ls and it displayed all the actions taken by ls [06:34] how do i know what my default gateway is? [06:34] 177 [06:34] i installed 173 [06:34] by mistake [06:34] danstheman: Not all drivers for every single piece of hardware is loaded by default. Also, notice how people prefix the target of what they are saying with the nickname of that person. It helps keep track of conversations. [06:35] kyledr tracert google.com and itll show your gateway as the first hop [06:35] but now it finished do i have to reboot? [06:35] raulh: 177 has issues.. 173 works better with the 6600 .. 180.11 also has issues.. [06:35] kyledr and yes there are better ways to do it but thats the easiest [06:35] BlueEagle: I realise, i am a frequent IRC user myself :) Hmm, do you know where i can get these drivers [06:35] raulh: ctrl+alt+backspace [06:35] Hey, once I install a driver, is it possible for me to just delete the tar and the folder I extracted from the tar? [06:35] dantheman what do you have for a motherboard [06:35] TheFunkbomb: yes [06:35] thefunkbomb yes [06:35] scunizi, thanks [06:35] danstheman: They should be on the cd already. What you want to do is open a terminal window and type lspci [06:36] People that can help me, could you please join #help-danstheman. As conversation is getting quite cluttered here. Thanks :) [06:36] celthunder: is tracepath ok? [06:36] ok [06:36] and you too celthunder [06:36] scunizi, when i changed my card drivers ctrl alt backspace gave me an error reboot however worked fine.... i know it resets the gdm but i figured i'd mention it. [06:36] BlueEagle: Ok, i typed it and this massive list of hardware came up [06:36] danstheman: That will give you a list of the pci-devices in your machine. What you want to look for there is IDE, SATA and/or RAID and see what you find. You then google that with the added words "linux module" and find out which module you should have loaded. [06:36] kyledr traceroute google.com the first hop is your router...which is your gateway...if you have a static ip its also in /etc/network/interfaces and if you want you could check route -n and itll show your gateway [06:37] o..k [06:37] nadan: happens sometimes but not to everyone [06:37] Next topic. I have an external USB wireless card. Is there any way I can configure it so as soon as I plug it in, it's ifconfing RAUSB0 down and in monitor mode? [06:37] thanks for the help it worked! [06:37] danstheman: Then you type lsmod and see if the module mentioned in the google results are listed there. [06:37] raulh: yea! [06:37] Why does ubuntu release every 6 months and not on a day to day basis? [06:37] BlueEagle: http://i40.tinypic.com/2h80r2s.png [06:37] Scunizi: one more question how does ubuntu handle with wireless adapters? [06:37] Whoops, sorry [06:37] 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) IDE Controller (rev 03) [06:37] 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 03) [06:37] loafers? I don't understand [06:37] Is that it? [06:37] danstheman: You can add |grep to search the output from commands for like this: modprobe |grep nvidia [06:37] DansTheMan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:38] For example, some apps like deluge are outdated [06:38] raulh, h what does that mean? "handle with wireless adaptors" [06:38] danstheman: It is. [06:38] raulh: fine.. but it depends on the adaptor.. most but not all atheros work fine.. [06:38] the Drivers [06:38] why don't they update rather than waiting 6 months [06:38] !wireless [06:38] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:38] BlueEagle: Which one is? [06:38] loafers, updates come as the programs are updated. No guarantee that there will be a new one with Jaunty [06:38] danstheman: Now head over to google and google for Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) linux module [06:38] i have a Tenda TW[xxx](u) [06:38] raulh look up the chipset and you'll be fine [06:39] already tried it there's nothing for it on any search engines for linux [06:39] raulh, can you find linux drivers for it? [06:39] raulh, what chipset is it? [06:39] Hey, anyone have problems with ruby gems [06:39] http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Intel+Corporation+82801HBM%2FHEM+(ICH8M%2FICH8M-E)+linux+module&btnG=Search&meta= [06:39] danstheman: You may want to search for sata aswell if it is a sata and not a pata disk you have. [06:39] I am so confused === Guest52336 is now known as joey [06:39] tenda twl541u [06:39] TheFunkbomb, why not? I read ubuntu wants to be stable right? But the way I see it, developers wouldn't release something unless it wasn't stable or labled as unstable [06:39] mine times out and locks up my comp [06:39] danstheman: When confused, stop and think about it for a while. === joey is now known as Guest37946 [06:40] raulh: that's the brand and model name.. try "sudo lshw" in terminal and look for it there.. you'll see the chipset type.. [06:41] yeah, I just went through this raulh. If we can find some drivers for that chipset, I can tell you how to install [06:41] BlueEagle: Is this correct? http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/ATA_PIIX.html [06:41] raulh, also, try plugging it in and running sudo apt-get update. My broadcom wasn't supported out of the box but once I ran the update and got the newest drivers, it workd [06:41] err worked [06:41] alright looking thru the sudo lshw list right now [06:42] I assume you have an ethernet port? [06:42] nono it's a wireless adapter [06:42] yeah, but you also have an ethernet port, right? [06:42] yes [06:42] plug into your router. hardwire it [06:42] run the update [06:42] danstheman: I came across this little gem: Through a BIOS option (disabled by default) the D630 supports the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), an open standard for SATA and PATA controllers. AHCI is well-supported under linux due to the availability of full documentation for driver developers. [06:42] kind of sucks if it's a desktop [06:42] g4lt-lappy: can you tell me how to use randr? === Guest37946 is now known as joey [06:43] but if it's a laptop, no sweat, right? [06:43] ok i found the network unclaimed product 88w8335 libertas 802.11b/g wwireless === joey is now known as Guest74093 [06:43] danstheman: So you might have to head into the BIOS and make sure that if you have a similar switch like the D630 if AHCI is enabled. [06:43] raulh, that's the marvel chipset I think [06:43] danstheman: It may be listed as "Disable sata native mode". [06:44] vendor: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. [06:44] yes i think it is [06:44] raulh, try plugging in and making sure you have the latest updates first [06:44] danstheman: What you can try first is, in the termial, type: fdisk -l [06:44] that's the easiest way to get stuff working [06:44] 290 updates oh goodie ;o [06:44] lol [06:44] they go fast [06:44] danstheman: Does that show any disks at all? [06:44] i have crap broadband ;\ [06:44] what version are you running? [06:44] 8.10? [06:44] hardy [06:44] ah [06:44] BlueEagle: celthunder told me to do that on #help-danstheman [06:44] well, give it a shot. Maybe you'll get lucky that way. [06:45] if not, let's see if we can find a work around [06:45] yea lol 277 mb is like 30minutes killbill is on anyway :3 [06:45] danstheman: Very well. I'll leave celthunder to it then. [06:45] I need to go to work anyways. :) [06:45] BlueEagle: [06:45] Cannot open /dev/sda [06:45] raulh, if it doesn't work, you can get the drivers it looks like [06:45] Is what i get [06:46] could someone help me with 9.04 RC installation please? when installing, i'm getting stuck at 82% "Configuring apt - Scanning the mirror". after an exhaustive search online, the only solution i found was to unplug the network cable, but that wouldn't help because the machine isn't connected by wire; it's wireless [06:46] when i type: fdisk -l [06:46] hey raulh, you still with me? [06:46] yea [06:47] raulh, here is a link in case that doesn't work. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/marvell-88w8335-chipset-netgear-wg311-pcicard-driver/ [06:47] alright i appriciate it. [06:47] windows isn't doin me too good now-a-days. [06:47] No problem. The instructions look pretty complete.

[07:04] DansTheMan, go into Add/Remove and search for gparted. Install it. It's very easy to figure out [07:04] yeah [07:04] DansTheMan, open terminal run "sudo apt-get install gparted" , its a graphical tool [07:04] ULFfunto: My husband and I kinda think it might be a mobos compatibility issue, but we can't find any info on it. It's a Gigabyte with the Intel P43 chipset [07:04] a couple of minutes ago. [07:04] wierd! [07:04] i copied a 3gb backup. [07:05] dragonrift: yes?

[07:05] please help me [07:05] TheFunkbomb: Ok, i'm on Add/remove and i found gparted but i am unsure how to run it [07:05] raulh: as i checked earlier the backup finished,. [07:06] Dans, click the check box next to it and Apply changes [07:06] try looking for it in the applications or try Gparted in the terminal [07:06] TheFunkbomb done that [07:06] Jessica_ oh yeah...I tried that...and many hours of attempting to cast demons out of my computer. I stopped just short of holy water [07:06] DansTheMan, if install it will be in system>admin>partition editor [07:06] how do I get my desktop back [07:06] :/ [07:06] BePhantom, are you still plugged into the router? [07:06] A3K: Haha I know that feeling well [07:06] hardwired TheFunkbomb [07:06] Jessica_ I finally cast the wireless card out of my computer and went hard wired [07:06] BePhantom, unplug it [07:06] hey Syntax\ have you tried rebooting or ctrl+alt+backspace?? [07:07] TheFunkbomb: It's already checked [07:07] DansTheMan, so that means you have it [07:07] ULFfunto: Do you know any way to check and see if the mobos is causing issues? [07:07] ill boot without the hdd [07:07] well lemme think [07:07] DansTheMan, go into System>Administration>Partitioning [07:07] then restart.

[07:08] ULFfunto: It has a complete system freeze - no mouse, no keyboard, no HDD light blinking, nothing. It doesn't seem to happen at any regular interval - just several times a day. Sometimes it will happen 3-5 minutes after logging in, sometimes several hours after logging in [07:09] TheFunkbomb: Yes :) [07:09] jessica when did that happen? [07:09] ULFfunto: I looked in the system log to see if there was some kind of message when it froze, but I don't understand enough of it to make sense of what it says [07:09] Jessica it is a Linksys rangeplus [07:09] DansTheMan, go up to the upper right and chose the drive [07:09] I see you're all really busy but can anyone please verify a file for me on their ubuntu system [07:09] raulh: It's been happening randomly since I installed Ubuntu on Tuesday.

[07:12] the one it recommended [07:12] I intend on writing a bash script for checking the distro. I have come acros /var/log/installer/lasb-release and would like to know if that would be a good file 2 use for such checking? [07:12] DragonRift: everyone here is a volunteer.. maybe they don't know the answer to your question.. maybe it's best to try later .. or much later .. or in the morning [07:12] DansTheMan, are you set up with RAID?

[07:13] it keeps going back to CLI [07:13] raulh: before i do that, is there a reason it shows up under iwconfig but not ifconfig [07:13] It makes all your drives look like one big drive [07:13] DragonRift: books... books about linux [07:13] TheFunkbomb: Ok, how do i set it up? === merv is now known as theCoolMerv [07:13] No, we don't want that [07:13] raulh: DragonRift ctrl+alt+backspace is not a reboot but a restart of the gui.. the underlying system isn't touched.. [07:13] DragonRift: Please stop using the enter key as punctuation. It makes it entirely impossible to follow you. === _Skyo is now known as Ranakah` [07:13] ULFfunto: when you say compare that with the install that's giving me problems, do you mean compare it to what it says in the system log? (Sorry if I sound like an idiot.)

So I should re-install? I don't have any data on there, other than random drivers - it's a brand new desktop [07:19] raulh: Can you please come to #help-danstheman and please explain?

[07:36] DragonRift, it is quite possible that after a reinstall it will be okay.

[07:41] Like off [07:41] like, my system's going to reach critical temp and shut down in ~ 5 minutes [07:41] that shouldn't be a operating system problem. [07:41] your mobo controls that [07:41] fan works fine in windows and windows 7 [07:42] windows XP, that is [07:42] there must be something that isnt letting ubuntu run and it's fighting against it [07:43] operating system shutting down a fan..? fan's don't even have breakers to turn em on or off o.o [07:43] yeah... that's why I was a little surprised [07:43] by the way, i'm in gutsy gibbon right now, but it doesnt work in hardy either [07:44] hmm, witch fan?

Yesterday pulseaudio crashed & no amount of restarting the demon brought it back, so I uninstalled it & installed Esound, & mny sound was working again on everything except flash, so then I tried reinstalling pulse & that just killed all of my sound again, so then I reinstalled esound but now none of my sounds are working wit that either. [08:02] !alsa [08:02] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [08:03] raulh: Yeah, it's proprietary which means the source isn't licensed freely or, in this case, available at all [08:03] !bind9-host [08:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about bind9-host [08:03] ubottu: u an actual bot? [08:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:03] meaning it dosnt exist..? [08:04] raulh: You can install and use it, it's just not free software which means Canonical isn't able to support it. [08:04] aLeSD, " Change Device (ALSA Mixer)" is not avalable in my list. [08:04] bleh confused?? canonical? [08:04] any 1 know abt bind9-host? [08:04] aLeSD, The only thing avalable is Realtek [08:04] raulh: The funders of Ubuntu [08:04] holyguyver ?_? [08:05] anyone? [08:05] you could have said yes it works [08:05] u know.. [08:05] Yeah, but you asked whether it was free or not [08:05] as in $ [08:05] okay, im shutting down, this is getting too hot for my liking [08:05] If you guys find anything shoot one off to studentech@gmail.conm [08:05] muac i cant access acers bios updates page keeps not showing properly atm but im guessing theres either a bios update or something to fix that. [08:06] aLeSD, Device: Realtek ALC888 (OSS Mixer) [08:06] raulh: A lot of people in FOSS don't think of free in terms of currency (me included) [08:06] my bios is "insydeh20" there's been temperature control issues with it before and i spose i can try a bios update [08:06] thanks [08:07] d [08:07] aLeSD, both pulse & ALSA used to be avalable options, but ever since the reinstalation of Pulse & the reinstalation of Esound, both of those have gone. [08:08] is it possible for ubuntu to read and write music to an ipod touch 1st gen/? [08:08] use gtkpod === _MinusSeven is now known as MinusSeven [08:09] So I return to my original request. I am having troubles with sound. Yesterday pulseaudio crashed & no amount of restarting the demon brought it back, so I uninstalled it & installed Esound, & mny sound was working again on everything except flash, so then I tried reinstalling pulse & that just killed all of my sound again, so then I reinstalled esound but now none of my sounds are working wit that either. [08:09] holyguyver: remove all sound and put back just pulse. [08:09] where can i find gtkpot? [08:09] whats the name of that 3d desktop for linux? [08:09] wtf @ the spam when i join [08:10] >.< [08:10] raulh: gtkpod should be in the repository [08:10] geekphreek, how do I remove all sound? [08:10] DragonRift: 3D or do you mean Compiz? [08:10] ty [08:11] is it stable yet? [08:11] holyguyver: apt-get purge pulse esound, etc. not sure of the package names [08:11] DragonRift: not enough for a production environment, but I use it all the time :) [08:11] i installed the flash player [08:11] but it still wont let me view flash videos [08:11] geekphreek, Then are you reallly the right person to be taking advice from?

[08:12] apt-get --purge remove [08:12] it tells me it's already installed [08:12] but it wont play anything that is flash [08:12] holyguyver: I dunno, only been using Linux for about 9 years and admin of a network. Use Gentoo more to be honest, but dabble a lot with Debian [08:13] heh [08:13] so, take it or leave it :) [08:13] geekphreek, I have only been using Linux for 6 years & only work with debian based distros.

[08:14] autoinstalled [08:14] with firefo [08:14] firefox [08:14] geekphreek, when i tried purging pulse it said that it was already removed & could not be removed again. [08:14] or maybe you have noscript plugin in firefoc? [08:15] silly, but try sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [08:15] *firefox [08:15] i havnt installed anything on firefox [08:15] other then this [08:15] flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. [08:15] noscript still asks that if you want to allow the flash object even if that were the case.. unless u changed some default [08:15] i didnt change anything considering its the first time on firefox [08:15] does it show in about:plugins?

It must still work on Ubuntu? [08:20] an iso image is an iso no? so mount it to the loop device [08:20] my main question is... is compiz stable [08:20] :p [08:20] DragonRift: As I said, yes for personal use [08:20] ah [08:20] must have missed that [08:20] geekphreek, as I already said I am trying Alsa/Esound & I already told you what happened, & as said Alsa is not given as an option anymore in my device chooser. [08:20] was looking at videos [08:20] :) [08:21] and you can switch easily enough between Compiz and your usual preferred desktop [08:21] rainofkayos tnx [08:21] np [08:21] is compiz a app? [08:21] everything is an app [08:22] yeah but I mean is i a desktop replacement? [08:22] DragonRift: no, it is just a window manager [08:22] basically [08:22] DragonRift: Compiz handles your Gnome or KDE [08:22] geekphreek, I think it just might be time for me to do a system reinstall :p how much longer before Jaunty is released? :p [08:22] holyguyver: don't give up yet :) [08:23] holyguyver: Do you still have also installed? [08:23] geekphreek, you told me to uninstall all of them :p [08:24] holyguyver: only on the way to reinstalling them [08:24] whats a good app for monitoring pc temps [08:25] holyguyver: Did you say esound worked ok originally, but no flash sound? [08:25] OMSA [08:26] dragonrift depends on your motherboard [08:26] geekphreek, yes that is what I said [08:26] ok, apt-get install esound flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [08:26] nforce 680i [08:27] holyguyver: if you don't have the flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound then you won't get flash sound with esound [08:27] geekphreek, Package flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source [08:28] hmm, really? Let me check mine [08:28] So how soon before Jaunty? Isn't it supposed to be released this month? [08:28] holyguyver, yes 23rd [08:28] holyguyver: Just installed on mine...

[08:44] Yap I am going to re-install, see you guys on the flipside :p [08:44] well Titan8990 what do i need to do to get this to work, lol [08:44] fore, sudo aptitude remove nvidia-glx && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [08:44] fore, install the right package [08:45] MarkJones: The theory behind RCs are, you release them, if no major bugs are found, they become the release. That sort of thing. [08:45] fore, and possible configure xorg.conf [08:45] Ok so if i download Jaunty now and then on the release day of the md5sum matches then its the same? That a good way to make sure? [08:45] Flannel, but with ubuntu having a set release schedule.... wouldn't they just release it regardless? [08:45] which donut decided that alsaconf was a bad idea in Ubuntu.... [08:46] geekphreek, the same one who decided not to use alsa by default [08:46] geekphreek, I would guess [08:46] So i wont have to download twice, thats why i ask. [08:46] * geekphreek starts unpacking a PSG-1 [08:46] Titan8990: Yeah, its a little bit blurred. But, the idea is RC is more stable than the beta, so we'd like to get some more testing done on it before everyone has at it. [08:46] MarkJones: If theyre the same. They are unlikely to be the same. [08:47] Oh ok. [08:47] Ill wait then [08:47] Titan8990: But, it installs alsa-base and alsa-tools. alsaconf is part of alsa-tools [08:47] Titan8990: unless you're on Ubuntu, of course [08:47] rainofkayos, i wrote this in my terminal rob@pc-03:~$ cd /home/rob/Desktop rob@pc-03:~/Desktop$ sudo xvidcaps-1.1.9.tar.gz [08:48] ok Titan8990 , its been removed and the other installed restart X ? [08:48] fore, yeah, give it a shot [08:48] and it told me command not found [08:48] ok [08:48] hmm [08:48] what should i do to play rm files in totem??? [08:48] Welshy-Rob: that command is that === Ed__ is now known as Edi [08:49] i only see u cd to a director and do sudo file.. OS is right it's no command there === Edi is now known as Edu [08:49] if u need to untar the file... tar -xvzf [08:49] Welshy-Rob, xvidcaps-1.1.9.tar.gz is not a command its a file [08:49] actually tar xvzf === Edu is now known as Edfrom [08:49] right ok [08:49] tar xvzf [08:50] so what dose tar xvzf actully mean? [08:50] u can omit the v for verbosity uf u like === Edfrom is now known as EdfromAustria [08:50] what should i do to play rm files in totem??? [08:50] xtract verbose z ? file [08:50] not sure about the z === MadMax is now known as Guest88427 [08:50] most likely doing decompression [08:50] KoolD have you tried installing the Ubuntu Restrcited extras? Might be in there. [08:51] ok now what X has been restarted [08:51] Welshy-Rob, tar <- archiving utility, x - extract, v - verbose, z - call gzip (for tar.gz), f - file [08:51] MarkJones:its installed [08:51] hmmmmm [08:51] reiteration? [08:52] ok have you made sure all other gstreamer stuff is installed also? [08:52] so on the end of my file i dont need to put .tar.gz? [08:52] is a tar.gz file [08:53] the file is the argument to this command... so there is nothing to put on the end but the actual file name [08:53] ok [08:53] ill try it [08:53] ok well there is still no drivers in the hardware drivers dialog [08:53] k [08:53] fore, that doesn't matter.... what does glxinfo say? [08:54] glxinfo | grep driect gives me this Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [08:54] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[09:00] fore, you need that in your xorg.conf, if something similar exists, replace it with that [09:00] rainofkayos, yes it exists. its an ext3 partition [09:00] fore, but don't forget to backup xorg.conf in case things go bad [09:01] fore, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [09:01] could the filesys be damaged? [09:01] has it been fsk'd? [09:01] fsck'd? [09:02] rainofkayos, highly doubtful its a fresh partition made by gparted. i deleted it and recreated it just to be sure [09:02] hmm i would check the partition now [09:02] Hi, I've been getting low resolution splash images since 8.10 or a bit earlier....I thought this would be fixed by jaunty, but it persists. Any possible fix? [09:02] rainofkayos, partition is fine. check is clean [09:02] can u dd if=/dev/sdb2 of=/dev/null with no error?

[09:32] DragonRift, also, have to ask, this isn't some kind of custom kernel or obscure source-built xorg is it? [09:32] is there an app (I'm sure i've used one before) that configures ubuntu with the non-free stuff (flash player, fonts etc...)? [09:32] b10h4z4rd, you just explained by custom kernels are neither supported or recommended in ubuntu [09:32] Titan8990: I can barely install this !@#$ [09:32] :p [09:32] iamcalledrob: no.

[10:35] in package manager there's version 3.2 [10:36] ubuntu is so good, I literally have no excuse not to do my work now.

[10:36] hi guys, I got a problem compiling a program of mine under x64 : http://pastebin.com/d1824b9b6 [10:37] Light-: Im trying my best by installing everything even from dodgy repos. [10:37] Light-:lol certainly not compared to win vista [10:37] bkk: hahahaha, good luck with that :P [10:38] linny1, why not use the package manager? Are you sure your architecture is supported by the application? [10:38] Light-: plus all my peripherals worked ootb, I havent had to do anything config wise. Its almost boringly simple. [10:39] does ubuntu iso have native readwrite support ? [10:39] bkk: yah, thats why I use it on my laptop [10:39] Kimi: readwrite for what ? [10:39] u guys gave up on me eh [10:39] ikonia the tinyurl link !netboot [10:39] DragonRift, what was your problem again? [10:39] are ubuntu have nds emulator? [10:39] ikonia i dont know to answer "what" :P [10:39] Kimi: that makes no sense - does it have read write for a netboot link [10:40] Kimi: can you phrase your question in clear english please. [10:40] Kimi, short answer, no, use a real install [10:40] Kimi: does ubuntu have read / write access for "what" [10:40] i want to play games on my ubuntu [10:40] my nvidia driver is detecting 2 videocards [10:40] ikonia NO.. read that link.. i mean the tinyurl in !netboot [10:40] but X-Server fails to load [10:40] DragonRift, errors? [10:40] ikonia http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html this [10:40] yo yo yo [10:40] I have been through this all [10:40] linux_viewer: you can [10:40] ikonia the first point here [10:40] DragonRift, sorry [10:40] its saying no screen [10:40] hi [10:40] linux_viewer: well, depends which games [10:40] when I try to start xserver [10:41] DragonRift, have you tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' ? [10:41] Kimi: ok - so the question a normal person would ask is "does the ubuntu live cd have NTFS read/write support built in" [10:41] Titan8990, then can you help me to GET "guided resize and use fred space" ??? [10:41] ikonia, fine. [10:42] ikonia but what is the answer ? [10:42] Kimi: I explained this to you the other day, the most probable reason you've not got resize option is because all your disk space is allocated [10:42] ActionPArsnip: i have nds and gba [10:42] Kimi: yes, ubuntu 8.04 and later has ntfs-3g write support by default [10:42] i forgot what a hassle grub was [10:42] linux_viewer: whats an nds? [10:42] killedkillerb, none at all? [10:42] ikonia so you mean that i must clear disk sspace to get that option ? [10:42] !grub | killedkillerb [10:42] yeah [10:42] killedkillerb: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto === c0p3rn1c_ is now known as c0p3rn1c [10:43] still says no screen [10:43] Kimi: no I mean you must unallocate disk space (assuming I'm correct in the reason) [10:43] ActionParsnip: how to do it? i doesn't have any emulator [10:43] Kimi, its best to just start fresh [10:43] Titan8990, ? [10:43] Kimi, start with an unpartitioned disk [10:44] ikonia, how to unallocate diskspace ?? i have 80 gb harddisk with 4 drives C D E and F with 20 each [10:44] Kimi, or atleast with unpartitioned space [10:44] Kimi, C D E and F mean nothing here in the UNIX world [10:44] Kimi: then you need to delete one of those partitions to make space unallocated [10:44] ikonia ok ... using gparted ? [10:44] Kimi: what ever tool you want [10:44] ikonia what would you want ? :P :P :P [10:44] nds is nintendo ds [10:45] linux_viewer: i guess if one isnt out you will have to ait or code one, I'd imagine you would need the system ROMs from YOUR device which will involve you dumping the rom [10:45] Titan8990, ok [10:45] Kimi: what I use doesn't matter, it's what you are comfrotable with [10:45] ok [10:45] ok but i want to search and emulator [10:45] If I have a list of filenames, for example, DSC_1234.jpg, DSC_5678.jpg, is there a way I can ask Ubuntu to "Search for all the files in my list, and copy them to ~/temp" ? [10:45] ikonia, are we placing bets on this person comming back in regards to lost data or no longer functioning windows os? [10:46] linux_viewer: www.google.com www.ask.com [10:46] wg 21 [10:46] gizmo_the_great: find . -name *.jpg -exec cp {} ~/temp \; [10:46] hey guys [10:46] ActionParsnip: okay [10:46] gah [10:46] this is annoying me [10:46] Titan8990: I'm not taking any bets - it's a sure thing [10:46] bye [10:47] says [10:47] ActionParsnip: but that will copy all the JPEGs, I think. I have a list of specific files from a list of thousands of JPEGs [10:47] Kimi, good luck [10:47] No Screens Found [10:47] Giving Up [10:47] linux_viewer: there are NDS emulators in some repos I believe [10:47] Hello can grub replace iwndows boot mager [10:47] linux_viewer: DesMuse is one called I believe [10:47] a pentium III is an i386 right? [10:47] ana_girl [10:48] jamie_, kind of... it replaces in the MBR but still chainloads the bootloader located on the windows partition [10:48] Bert_2, i had problem to compile its files [10:48] jamie_: yes; grub can boot windows [10:48] one more Q : does 32 bit softwares of ubuntu will run on 64 bit ubuntu too ??? i am having a 64 bit core2duo but still have 32bit ubuntu...... hence i have a doubt in thus [10:48] What about if windows bootloader completly scrambled [10:48] can it go staright to winload? [10:49] jamie_, ask #windows [10:49] gizmo_the_great: so you want a specified subset of the files copied out, like a list of the ones you want copying in a text file. The command I gave will copy ALL jpg files in the subfolders of the pwd [10:49] Kimi: yes, ubuntu is multilib [10:49] how can i know my GPU temp ? [10:49] jamie_, I have no concept of a scambled bootloader, must me a winblows thing [10:49] Light-, ok.. so i can install 64bit ubntu [10:49] !sensors | slim|thug [10:49] slim|thug: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [10:49] i have an nvidia 9500 GT [10:49] Light-, i started downloading 64bit ubun [10:49] Noy scrabled just stuffed [10:49] slim|thug, nvidia or ati control pannel if you have installed the proprietary drivers [10:49] Light-, thanks [10:50] bye [10:50] erUSUL, i don't think those sensors apply to gpu [10:50] ActionParsnip: Yes - I have about 35 jpg files, named specifically (DSC_123.jpg, DSC_345.jpg etc) that I need to copy out. [10:51] is there any easier ways to install the latest eclipse ? [10:51] Titan8990: oops [10:52] anyone here have expereince with SLI in linux? [10:52] gizmo_the_great: its gonna take a script, i dont think a single line will do it [10:53] ActionParsnip: yeah - I working on one now. Something like for file in `cat list.txt` do; cp $file ~/temp; done [10:54] got a stumper re: grub on my system...i installed 9rc on an extended partition of my c: drive, and had difficulties with grub (it wasn't starting at all), so i reinstalled it with the appropriate device (dev/sde5) partition for ubuntu. now ubuntu starts, but windows won't start after adding it to /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:54] how do I refresh wireless networks in networkmanager? [10:54] i could fix it with an XP disc by running fixmbr, but the whole point of this was to have a dualbooter with grub [10:54] baka, you can only have a bootloader installed on one partition [10:54] baka, so you need to reinstall the windows bootloader then install grub properly [10:54] baka, to the MBR, not a partition [10:55] gizmo_the_great: i think its gonna be do; find . -name $file -exec cp {} ~/temp \;; done [10:55] ActionParsnip, curious, why the need for an escape char before the ;? [10:55] gizmo_the_great: i'd ask in #bash [10:55] hm, so what i would need to do in this case is have windows stomp the grub with fixmbr, then reinstall it? [10:56] dependency isnt satisfisable linux- generic-image what thats means??? any idea?? [10:56] shabi [10:56] hi dose anyone know where i can get a desktop camera to like record my desktop?? [10:56] baka, FIXBOOT maybe? not a windows guy [10:56] is any one SHABI? [10:56] baka, if you do fdisk -l you will see a * next to one partition, only one can be marked as active [10:56] fixmbr would do it. but after that, i run a recovery from the install cd, correct? [10:57] buzul: the package you named has unmet dependancies [10:57] bootrec /fixmbr [10:57] then [10:57] bootrec /fixboot [10:57] hello [10:57] so what i should do?? [10:57] that sounds like a vista command, this is xp [10:57] baka, I would manually install grub then [10:57] !grub | baka [10:57] baka: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [10:57] baka: if its xp it fixboot then fixmbr [10:57] what is the equivalent command for "dir /s" on win32 terminal for linux terminal? [10:57] baka: ask in ##windows. Its offtopic here [10:58] i_run_ubuntu, what does /s do? [10:58] what does dir /s do? [10:58] it's not windows i need help with [10:58] just getting grub to boot it. [10:58] afk a few [10:58] hi there [10:58] baka: installing a windows bootloader is not an ubuntu probblem [10:58] this konqueror can't access a windows ftp server [10:58] how do I do that [10:59] back to avesa driver y the looks of things [10:59] hey is there a reason my /usr/include/GL is drwx------? [10:59] i_run_ubuntu: find ./ -name [10:59] dir /s : Displays files in specified directory and all subdirectories. [10:59] i_run_ubuntu, ls -R DIRHERE [10:59] i_run_ubuntu: ls -R [10:59] i_run_ubuntu: then find is your friend [11:00] box: nope, that's not normal [11:00] does this problen about the kernel version ????????? [11:00] ActionParsnip: hi [11:00] =C [11:00] i_run_ubuntu, but yeah.... the find command is probably going to suite your usage better than manually looking through all that [11:00] heh that was a scary dream [11:00] buzul: you need to fix your packages to get the dependancies sorted. try: sudo apt-get -f install [11:00] ow yeah, find worx well, thanks [11:00] will try [11:01] i finally figured out how to fix yoville for my sister thank goodness [11:01] i am having an issue with my htc diamond and ubuntu 8.10 wonder if anybody can help me. I'm trying to flash the rom with a piece of software called htcflasher, but when i put the phone in bootloader mode instead of creating the /dev/ttyUSB0 interface i get the error ipaq: probe of 5-2:1.0 failed with error -5, any ideas? [11:01] i must admit, for myself too... apparently version 10 of flash has bugs for ubuntu [11:01] crdlb: then i suppose changing it back would be the correct course of action... Do I run the chance of other debs installing stuff with the wrong permissions if mesa-common-dev was? [11:01] silv3r_m00n, install a ftp progam ie filezilla [11:02] nadan: anything else [11:02] why doesn't konqueror access windows ftp server ... or any other utility which can do it [11:02] I mean which looks like a file explorer [11:02] silv3r_m00n, because it uses proprietary NTLM authentication [11:02] box: are the files inside that directory broken too, or is it just the directory? [11:03] well its a dep pages...how can i install it on terminal ?????? [11:03] Titan8990: firefox can access it though [11:03] crdlb: just the dir [11:03] silv3r_m00n, firefox has NTLM support [11:03] box: I guess just correct it to 755 then [11:03] Titan8990: anything on linux that has it [11:04] neither does dolphin accesses it [11:04] crdlb: OH actually, get this: GL/gl.h was 0 bytes, and i reinstalled the package and it was fixed. but the dir already didn't have read perms. [11:04] silv3r_m00n, its hit or miss, I would say filezilla [11:04] I can't get audio to work with my 17" MacBook Pro. Does anyone have any suggestions? [11:04] fine let me install that [11:05] crdlb: i don't know what i did, i don't remember ever and don't know why i would ever mess with the GL dir. i did recently upgrade to the 9.04 beta. [11:05] anyway, i'll just hope i don't run into any more problems. [11:05] silv3r_m00n, filezilla is one of the better ftp clients out there anyways [11:05] thx [11:05] box: #ubuntu+1 please, but that's quite weird ... [11:06] anyone anyideas how to get me a newbie to mount discs from a SLUG [11:06] Titan8990: this gftp looks working [11:06] k, thx [11:07] silv3r_m00n, I have been considering writting my own soon [11:07] knobcottage: no, but fantastic nick. [11:07] bkk:thanks [11:07] Titan8990: that wud be good... by the way you sure konqueror won't access windows ftp servers because of ntlm authentation [11:08] silv3r_m00n, not positive, no [11:09] silv3r_m00n, its a sound, logical guess [11:09] Titan8990: even better [11:09] does anyone know how to get sound working on a MacBook Pro 3,1? apparently it should work out of the box, but it doesn't [11:09] i have a issue i cant uninstall counter strike source with a wine install [11:10] please need help [11:10] iamcalledrob: No, but when sound did not work out of the box for me as it should have done [11:10] slim|thug, just delete the files [11:10] knobcottage: hmm =/ [11:11] I double cllicked the sound icon and changed the device from teh drop down list....but that was on a generic laptop pc...any help? [11:11] knobcottage: make sure both devices have all mixers up [11:12] and close any sound related progs, do killall esd in terminal then reopen [11:12] !sound [11:12] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [11:40] jonaskoelker: but I use drivers via ubuntu's restricted drivers manager, so what ca be wrong [11:40] Titan8990: I don't have an option; it's on a remote system, hence my use of scp [11:40] w-heat: linux doesnt like spaces [11:40] TychoQuad: you will be using nano in the root console [11:40] w-heat, if you are pulling from a remote location, you shouldn't be able to tab-complete its directories anyways [11:40] TychoQuad: or vi ( i recommend nano ) [11:40] there is no system > administration > networking [11:41] jonaskoelker: and I can't do anything with window manager, too, right? [11:41] ernie_eu: I don't understand the last question [11:41] TychoQuad, they moved it to system -> preferences [11:41] same here...nada [11:41] Titan8990: errr, yes you should - that's the point of scp completion - if you have passwordless/key-based login [11:41] ernie_eu: if you're using an (old?) intel video card, the card may just be slow [11:41] okay, how do i get to the root console to fix this? [11:41] ernie_eu: (that seems to be the case on my desktop box) [11:42] TychoQuad: reboot, press esc to see grub menu, select recovery mode, ten the next menu select root console [11:42] jonaskoelker: Radeon 3450 which is not old [11:42] ernie_eu, if you run compiz + ati it becomes very CPU intensive [11:43] ernie_eu, linux ati drivers are flaky at best [11:43] jonaskoelker: you said: problem with window manager.. so my question was, what window manager has to do with this and can I fix it ? [11:43] Titan8990: so is compiz ;) [11:43] Titan8990: well, I heard that nvidia has better drivers. === davi_ is now known as davi [11:44] ernie_eu, they do [11:44] my laptop detects some WiFi nets when I'm on the LiveCD, and other WiFi's when I'm on the installed version... why? [11:44] ActionParsnip, agreed [11:44] ernie_eu: try metacity --replace or compiz --replace, or install openbox (sudo apt-get install openbox) and run openbox --replace [11:44] Hi, #ubuntu! [11:44] Titan8990: but when I runned compiz, it was to the contrarym CPU load was much LOWER [11:44] cousteau, what does lshw -C show? [11:44] see if that makes a difference [11:44] GWild: hey [11:44] Titan8990: on the LiveCD? [11:45] cousteau, no, on your install [11:45] cousteau, pastebin it [11:45] jonaskoelker: ok, I can try [11:45] cousteau, sorry should be: lshw -C network [11:45] i have one problem and it is descripted in this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU7nCGdfi4A&feature=channel_page [11:46] X_, a video... thats a new one [11:47] is it possible to use compiz with open source driver (default one afer fresh ubuntu install)? [11:47] ernie_eu, no but you can use the mesa drivers [11:47] ernie_eu, which are open source (but even more flaky) [11:47] !mesa | ernie_eu [11:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about mesa [11:47] !radeonhd [11:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about radeonhd [11:47] !radeon [11:48] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:48] I use ati x1300 [11:48] Titan8990: wow, I think mesa is last resolt [11:48] I couldn't get Compiz to work properly with HD3850 using restricted driver that shows up in menu after fresh install [11:48] ActionParsnip, that guide appears to only cover the proprietary drivers [11:49] ernie_eu, mesa is the future :) [11:49] !compiz [11:49] Titan8990: I think AMD is not doing good job with drivers for linux [11:49] Titan8990: thats ll i know, i avoid ati like paris hilton [11:49] and that makes me mad [11:49] what do I have to install to configure compiz in more detail? [11:49] ernie_eu, they are doing MUCH better than ati did as a standalone company [11:49] there was some package for it, some gnome-compiz-config, or compiz-config-something... [11:50] ActionParsnip, I do too but didn't have a choice with my 2nd hand laptop [11:50] compiz-config-settings-manager [11:50] oupps [11:50] cemc, compizconfig-settings-manager [11:50] cemc: make sure you have 3d accelleration (video drivers) installed then install compizconfig-settings-manager [11:50] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz-fusion [11:50] guys, are there any open source CAD for ubuntu?

[11:57] waseem57, whats the goal?

[12:04] MrKlown: can you write down the EXACT error [12:04] MrKlown, when you chat here, type "action" to include their full name, that'll make sure they see the message [12:05] yes hold on ActionParsnip [12:05] lol [12:05] not to confuse things :p [12:05] waseem57, no idea [12:05] Titan8990: ha ha no sweat [12:06] Ogg Vorbis Encoder not found (oggenc) please install and try again. this happens when i go under import songs, import guitar hero tm songs, ActionParsnip [12:06] waseem57, what are you trying to do in broad terms? [12:07] MrKlown: ok and if we both websearch taht we should reach a goal [12:07] i want to bypass the firewall of my college using corkscrew [12:07] I was wondering with why Linux in mainstream is called "Linux" and yet it is only the kernel and GNU System runs on top the kernel. [12:07] Not trying get into flamming or anything. [12:07] waseem57, you have a server you can ssh to? [12:07] because its not an important distinction for users. [12:07] Ah, thanks :) [12:08] Do anythhing of you who use rtorrent and tried deluge torrent client notice a speed difference sometimes ? [12:08] MrKlown: sudo apt-get install vorbis-tools [12:08] C0nn0R, we're not really running much gnu stuff. I mean, gnome/kde/xorg/hal/dbus/etc constitutes more of the desktop [12:08] ahh bless you ActionParsnipi was just looking that up to be fair [12:08] True cwillu [12:08] :P [12:09] C0nn0R, but we don't go around calling it gnu/xorg/freedesktop/gnome/ubuntu linux [12:09] Running rtorrent and controling it via ssh is pretty cool :p [12:09] Yeah [12:09] cwillu: To ssh to that server i am using corkscrew. It needs a HTTP proxy host. But to use that host i need to give it a user name and a password. [12:09] Just quicker way pronoucing or generalizing the name. [12:09] waseem57, oh, they block ssh directly? [12:09] Doesn't someone know how to make a shell script with an infinite loop run in the system boot without it stopping the system boot!? [12:09] MrKlown: error messages in linux are very useful, ulike mS ones [12:09] cwillu: yes they do. [12:09] Much quicker to say "Linux" then "GNU/Linux, etc" [12:09] works now ActionParsnip woohoo [12:10] edoreld, infinite loops are generally bad [12:10] MrKlown: websearch exact error messages when you get them and you should be ok [12:10] lol ActionParsnip well please don't think of me as a pain please i am just a complete noob [12:10] waseem57, "man corkscrew" will probably tell you the options you need [12:10] Anyone here tried tiling wm ? [12:10] edoreld, in general, it will cap your CPU usage until the process is dead [12:10] I was wondering how well they will run on my eee pc. [12:10] MrKlown: the only unhelpful one is "seg fault" [12:10] Titan8990: but i need a command being executed every X minutes [12:10] waseem57, myself, I'd just use an openvpn vpn over http, but that's because I already have that handy [12:10] MrKlown: everyone is a noob at some point, you will learn [12:10] Titan8990: how do i do that without affecting the cpu -.-? [12:10] edoreld, use cron, don't program an infinite loop [12:10] edoreld, ever [12:11] edoreld, but ideally, you would add hooks in the code you are running your script against [12:11] Titan8990: cron? hooks? -.- [12:11] Titan8990, strictly speaking, a loop is perfectly valid for polling, etc. One just wants to make sure that something in the loop is a blocking call so that things don't get out of hand [12:11] edoreld, back up, what are you wanting to do in broad terms? [12:11] I am trying to install Ubuntu from a USB flash disk onto a Lenovo S10 netbook .... it boots up fine and I select Install Ubuntu and it loads the kernel etc ... I see the Ubuntu logo with the progress bar and then it goes to Busybox terminal ... please help [12:12] !cron | edoreld [12:12] edoreld: 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 [12:12] cwillu: I'm tring to execute a plugin called nsca_check that communicates with a server and passes info to it [12:12] edoreld, for what purpose? [12:12] edoreld, give the high-level picture [12:12] cwillu: the information is used by a monitoring program to check the status of a service (http, ftp, etc) [12:13] waaseem57: depending on how your firewall is set up the kids at our school went to google and got google to translate the page from English to english and that somehow bypassed the firewall and got their daily fix of whatever [12:13] edoreld, look into nagios or a similar package, sounds like that's the sort of monitoring you're trying to do [12:13] cwillu: yes i have nagios installed [12:13] at the very least, look into how they hook into the system [12:13] how do i run a tar.bz2 file? [12:13] cwillu: and im using it [12:13] cwillu: the problem is I need to do some checks from the client machine every X minutes [12:13] tar -xvf newb_to_ubuntu [12:14] cwillu: so i need kind of a daemon or something similar [12:14] edoreld, I believe nagios has provisions to do exactly that, but the simplest approach would be to use cron like Titan8990 said [12:14] cwillu: It really helped. ProxyCommand corkscrew host port %h %p auth-file did it for me. auth-file has only one line with username:password :D Thanks. [12:14] you can make a cron job to run something periodically [12:14] cwillu: can i make cron start my script at system startup? [12:14] edoreld, read up on cron [12:15] cwillu: ^_^ [12:15] seriously [12:15] cwillu: im on it ^_^ thanks Titan8990 and cwillu ^_^ [12:15] newb_to_ubuntu: tar jxvf [12:15] edoreld, good luck [12:15] newb_to_ubuntu: if its for an app, have you checked to see if its on the repositories [12:15] edoreld you can use gnome schedule for a gui version of cron [12:16] ActionParsnip, the j is only needed if you're piping. If the file is called foo.tar.gz, the j is implied [12:16] I am trying to install Ubuntu from a USB flash disk onto a Lenovo S10 netbook .... it boots up fine and I select Install Ubuntu and it loads the kernel etc ... I see the Ubuntu logo with the progress bar and then it goes to Busybox terminal ... please help [12:16] cwillu: habit [12:16] can anyone help me to access USB discs attached to a network SLUG. Windows lets me map a network drive. Ubuntu give no clues [12:16] ActionParsnip, my habit is tar -xf :p [12:17] knobcottage: slug? [12:17] knobcottage, smb://hostname/share [12:17] in knobcottage in nautilus [12:17] CWILLU: what does that mean I'm new to htis [12:17] knobcottage: look into smbmount if you want it mounted like a local folder [12:17] smbmount? [12:18] knobcottage, go to the "places" menu, and open any of those links [12:18] I'm very new to this [12:18] hi [12:18] ActionParsnip, isn't the movement towards cifs now? [12:18] koshari: is gnome schedule a package? [12:18] mrwes: if the device supports it, yeah why not [12:18] then, in the address bar (might have to click the paper/pencil icon to the left first) type: smb://server/share, almost like in windows [12:18] knobcottage, ^^^ [12:18] edoreld: apt-cache search gnome schedule [12:18] is there a command to list users who have root privileges? [12:19] ActionParsnip: gnome-schedule :P [12:19] knobcottage, alternatively, the file menu -> connect to server should get you started [12:19] ActionParsnip, ahh -- seems to work for me :) [12:19] cwillu: so there's my network filebrowser [12:19] isojussi: you will need to list the users who are in the admin group [12:19] edoreld yes, gimme a sec to get the exact spelling [12:19] koshari: don't worry i got it [12:19] knobcottage, built right into the regular file browser :p [12:19] says windows network and nothiung else [12:19] knobcottage, also, anything that you've accessed through nautilus will show up in /home/knobcottage/.gvfs/, so programs that don't support gnome can still access those files [12:20] knobcottage, what's the path you used with the windows machine to map the drive? [12:21] cwillu: can't remember but if I try to access the SLUG it wont let me except if I type in its IP address, but hat's not what I want [12:21] I think I am missing a very simple step here [12:21] knobcottage, from windows or from ubuntu? [12:21] windows works fine with the hostname? [12:21] and the hostname is slug? [12:22] from windows I can access as a mapped network drive. Under ubuntu I can't even see the slug the actuall disc is something like HDD_1_1_1 [12:22] with the name of the slug infront of it. [12:23] knobcottage, okay, but what _path_ is the drive mapped to in windows? [12:23] or do you not care if it's running as an ip address, as long as you don't have to retype it each time? === deane is now known as Guest19156 [12:24] slug/slugname/HD1_1_1 or soemthing like that. Ends up as the Z drive:-D [12:24] hmm is there any way to tell gnome-schedule to execute a task every 5 minutes, and not every 1 minute? [12:24] !cron | edoreld [12:24] knobcottage, can you find out for sure? [12:25] knobcottage, not gonna be easy to guess :) [12:25] hi [12:25] ubottu? you there? [12:25] if I found out for sure what would I do then? it meand I'd have to reeboot several times [12:25] edoreld: 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 [12:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about you there?

But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [12:26] knobcottage, in ubuntu, you'd open a file browser, and then enter smb://the-exact/path [12:26] greetings ubots [12:26] ;-) [12:26] anyone had any experience loading ndiswrapper === Guest19156 is now known as web5 [12:26] cwillu: Got you. I'll give that a try later [12:26] andrew_→ A lot of people do. Try stating what problem you're having, what driver, card, etc. and someone might be able to assist you. [12:26] Thanks [12:27] knobcottage, can also look at file | connect to server [12:27] knobcottage, but you definitely need to know what the hostname and share actually is before this has a hope of working [12:27] CWILLU: I tried the conncet to server by name and IP address but it won't [12:28] knobcottage, it's possible for a smb connection to not work if you're only using an ip address (it checks the host name, and ignores it if it's wrong) [12:28] knobcottage, actually, you could try this: open nautilus (file browser), and type just a plain: smb:// [12:28] knobcottage, you might see some workgroups, and it might be in one of them [12:29] CWILLU one last one...when I try to connect to server what type of service is it? Can't be a windows share as the slug runs linux [12:29] knobcottage, it's still a windows share [12:29] Most of you guys installed 9.04 rc ? [12:29] mncat, no -> #ubuntu+1 [12:29] cwillu: thanks I'll tyr that now.... [12:29] hi [12:30] mncat, it's not released, so very few people should be running it beyond testers, developers, volunteers, etc [12:30] im new to linux and i installed ubuntu its working fine but i cant get the webcam to work i have tried alot of stuff and still cant get it to work === c is now known as charitwo [12:31] can anyone help me ?

[12:34] (decent) [12:34] Welshy-Rob, what do you mean exactly? [12:34] like a recording of the windows and such? [12:34] Blackberrys are cumbersome to irc on.... [12:34] hi! i want to batch create folders with mkdir, and their names to be 001, 002, etc... i'm trying with 'for i in /folder/*; do mkdir %3d; done' ... this is obviously not working... could anybody point me to the correct variable syntax?

[12:35] Welshy-Rob, screen capture? [12:35] furenku: umm, not sure what your example is trying to do there. Read about the « seq » command [12:35] yeah thats it [12:35] Welshy-Rob, I'm told vlc can do that [12:35] ok ill have a look : ) [12:36] jrib, just trying to create folder sequentially according to files in a folder [12:36] jrib : i serched google and found a driver r5u870 downloaded it then used make and make install but it gives me error 2 :S [12:36] jirb : sorry in very new to linux [12:36] cwillu: I see you are elsewhere at the slug seems to be relplying. However it says the DOmain is MSHOME where does that come from and what does it mean? [12:36] Welshy-Rob, yep, capture/save | capture mode | Desktop [12:36] cwillu, you do mean the vlc media player yeah? [12:36] knobcottage, that's just a default workgroup name [12:36] Welshy-Rob, yep [12:37] furenku: I know what you want to do, I just don't see what your example was doing. In any case, seq will help you do what you want [12:37] cwillu, ok thanks [12:37] Welshy-Rob, playing media was an after thought of vlc :p [12:37] looking for an xcursor editor. [12:37] jrib, thanks, ill look into it [12:37] knobcottage: Often, mshome.net is assigned by Windows systems which have Internet Connection Sharing enabled. [12:37] cwiullu: so do I put the real name of the slug here or my home network or what? [12:38] how do you find channel? [12:38] specifically, my question is how to access the iteration number inside a unix for loop [12:38] channels? [12:38] zinger_: /list, or /msg alis help [12:38] ah thanks [12:38] hi, i just have a question about my ubuntu boot cd i burned [12:38] zinger_: also, http://searchirc.com and http://irc.netsplit.de [12:38] cwillu: so do I put the real name of the slug here or my home network or what (name spelled correctly this time!) [12:39] furenku: example: for x in $(seq 100); echo $x; done [12:39] furenku: example: for x in $(seq 100); do echo $x; done [12:39] knobcottage, if mshome shows up, then double click on mshome [12:39] cool. [12:39] knobcottage, (assuming we're talking about from smb:// ) [12:40] knobcottage, also, "cw" will complete to cwillu :p [12:40] unless Cwiis is in channel, but he's not :p [12:40] when using the help me to boot button on the autorun program in windows, it shows the error 'file is not correct archive' [12:40] for help i can't find the file /etc/init.d/oracle-xe when i install oracle-xe 10g [12:40] cwillu: no this is form connect to server [12:41] knobcottage, _probably_ mshome, although I don't think you need to specify it [12:41] had there anyone installed oracle-xe 10g [12:41] cwillu: it then requires a user name and password I use all of those I use under windows and noting happens apart from a new request....could this be case sensitive as linux often is and windows isn't? [12:41] knobcottage, basically, you should only need to specify server and share [12:41] cwillu, you wouldnt happen to know how to work the vlc capture device would you?? im a bit stuck... [12:42] knobcottage: Passwords always are case-sensitive :/ [12:42] Welshy-Rob, not off hand really, no [12:42] knobcottage, just leave the username/password blank [12:42] jrib, hey thanks! this looks like the right direction; but this command is actually just printing a list from 1-100; what i want is to create a numbered folder for every existing file inside a folder [12:42] knobcottage, you _might_ need to set it to guest [12:42] (again, no password) [12:42] any good place to chat when drunk? talk to funny people and all. [12:42] ? [12:42] furenku: so read and understand what my example did [12:42] furenku, the $1 becomes the number [12:42] will a ubuntu boot image work if it is burned to a dvd? [12:42] lixcab, #ubuntu-offtopic [12:43] thanks [12:43] cwillu: yes but there's this funny thing with windows where names I enter for shares in lower case appear as upper case in My computer mmmm [12:43] cwillu, thanks im sure ill work it out : ) [12:43] sorry, probably in the wrong room now [12:43] thanks cwillw [12:43] thanks cwillu [12:43] knobcottage, might try just going to smb:// in nautilus, it might just show up [12:43] for help i can't find the file /etc/init.d/oracle-xe when i install oracle-xe 10g [12:43] had there anyone installed oracle-xe 10g [12:43] cwillu: ok [12:44] knobcottage, you can create a bookmark to any given point, which works like windows network drives [12:45] cwillu: Pop up "blah blah failed to retrieve share list form server" [12:45] knobcottage, most gnome apps can access them directly, apps that can't can still access the share via /home/knobcottage/.gvfs/ [12:45] hello i have problems with my 3495 intel pro wireless card, i have installed wicd but only recognizes wep networs [12:45] cwillu , can you tell me how to get the capture thing open? because i think im doing the wrong thing??? [12:45] knobcottage, if the server shows up, you should be able to just tack on a /sharename to the end of the smb://..../ line [12:46] hi what is "task manager" equivalent in ubuntu? [12:46] Welshy-Rob, you found the capture screen? [12:46] I wan to close a process [12:46] jrib, ok, i don't have it so clear now, but ill look into it and try to understand, then apply it to mkdir... thankx! [12:46] sirMajid, system | administration | system monitor [12:46] furenku: do you understand what the « echo » command does? [12:46] sirMajid, or open a terminal and type 'top' [12:46] cwillu: server does not show up but you've given me a few ideas. I 'll leave you in peace a while and muck around with some ideas Many thanks [12:47] for help i can't find the file /etc/init.d/oracle-xe when i install oracle-xe 10g [12:47] jrib, echo just prints, doesn't it? [12:47] had there anyone installed oracle-xe 10g [12:47] for help i can't find the file /etc/init.d/oracle-xe when i install oracle-xe 10g [12:47] had there anyone installed oracle-xe 10g [12:47] duhongbo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:47] furenku: yeah... [12:47] sorry [12:47] knobcottage, k :) [12:47] furenku: so it's running « echo $x » a bunch of times [12:48] no this is what i did media--open capture device?? is that right? [12:48] jrib, the thing is I'm not being able to pass the iteration number to mkdir as parameter [12:48] jrib, for the folder name [12:48] furenku: why not? You're passing "$x" to "echo" as a parameter [12:48] Welshy-Rob, ugh, I'm on #ubuntu+1, which has a different ui on vlc :( [12:49] Welshy-Rob, I think you just need to find the source device and change it to X11 or display or something like that [12:49] Welshy-Rob, working from very foggy memory here [12:49] Yesterday I tried to watch dvb-t broadcast with my USB-tuner but as soon as Kaffeine showed video and I got audio my screen went black and after visiting tty5 and then coming back I was greeted with message "setting Advanced Power Management level to 0xfe(254) [OK]" Any ideas what's going on? [12:49] jrib, but in this example seq has a fixed number , '100' [12:49] How do i install OpenGL on Ubuntu 8.10 DE? [12:49] Hey i have a USB remote for my PC is there a program which will let em configure each button? [12:49] guys, is there any way i can determine the computers w/c are connected on my unit? [12:50] furenku: type « seq 10 » in your terminal [12:50] DanSouthy: should be preinstalled [12:50] DansTheMan: what do you actually want to do? [12:50] jrib, the thing is I don't know how many files are inside this folder [12:50] Well, i want to install OpenGL jrib. [12:50] furenku: no idea what folder "this folder" is [12:50] DanthEMAN: should be preinstalled [12:51] Hey i have a USB remote for my PC is there a program which will let em configure each button? [12:51] jrib, my goal is to make a numbered folder for every file contained inside a parent folder [12:51] DansTheMan, opengl is installed already. However, it may not be accelerated, depending on your video card and which driver you're running. Does that sound more like the trouble you're having? [12:51] Lenin_Cat: It may be, but when i launch Chess from Applications> Games, and i go to 3D view it says i need to install OpenGL [12:51] cwillu: I don't know [12:52] furenku: so count how many files are in the folder and pass that number to seq, no? [12:52] DansTheMan, ugh, yes, that's a horrid error message [12:52] cwillu: How can i get OpenGL then? [12:52] Or, install it? [12:52] DansTheMan: what version of ubuntu? [12:52] DansTheMan, I think it says an exact package name that you need to install via system | administration | synaptic package manager [12:52] 8.10 DE [12:52] hello, I am planning on purchasing a barebones kit with an i7 processor. I couldn't really find whether ubuntu ran on i7 processors [12:52] cwillu, right ok i found it and it works sort of it shows only my vlc like player then tthey just keep appearing and shrinking into the distance like a vanish point if you know what that is [12:52] DansTheMan: Then what cwillu said should work [12:53] No Python OpenGL support [12:53] No Python GTKGLExt support [12:53] Is what it says [12:53] jrib, i'm not really sure if seq is the way to go, im doing a for loop, what i need is just to pass the iteration number to mkdir as a parameter [12:53] !3dchess | DansTheMan [12:53] DansTheMan: If you are trying to enable 3d effects in the GNOME chess game, please see https://launchpad.net/bugs/71593 [12:53] so can anyone help me to get the webcam working, i have ubuntu on HP Pavilion dv1000 laptop and the lsusb gives me Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ca:1870 Ricoh Co., Ltd Webcam 1000 [12:53] DansTheMan: that's the old bug if you can't find the package name in the current error message for some reason [12:53] DansTheMan, I think you just need to install python-gtkglext1 [12:54] furenku: you have not understood the example I gave you. [12:54] thank you :) [12:54] furenku: play with it [12:54] furenku, echo is a command to print something to the screen [12:54] furenku, echo foo will print foo [12:55] furenku, echo $1 will print the value of $1, which is 1, and then 2, and so forth [12:55] when i try to print a picture i receive the following syslog message http://paste.ubuntu.com/152745/ and of course ic annot print any pictures [12:56] any suggestion? [12:56] furenku: try this maybe: for x in $(seq 10); do echo In this iteration the value of x is $x; done [12:56] which are the wifi packages? maybe dpkg-reconfigure'ing them I can fix the wireless [12:57] jrib, cwillu, thanks for all the help [12:57] ill look into it [12:59] how can i LowLevelFormat my HDD ? [12:59] NarbeH, you mean zero the drive, or an actually manafacturer's low level format? [12:59] Is there like a Task manager but for ubuntu? Like there is on Windows? [12:59] cwillu: man low level format [13:00] Sorry, i just imported from Windows :p [13:00] What config file to I edit so that the kernel module i8k is loaded on boot with force=1? (Reason: So my poor Dell Insprion 1525's fans are properly managed!) [13:00] DansTheMan: System -> Administration -> System Monitor, but why? [13:00] Ok [13:00] NarbeH, generally requires a particular application from the manufacturer [13:00] Just wanting to give a process higher priority :) [13:00] If you can do that? [13:00] NarbeH, but why do you need to? [13:00] NarbeH you generally need to run a vedor proggie to do that [13:01] DansTheMan: yeah, you can set the "nice" value. Not sure if you can do it there or not [13:01] koshari: sorry? what? [13:01] DansTheMan, process monitor in system | administration [13:01] NarbeH run a program from the drive vendor [13:01] NarbeH, "dd if=/dev/zero of=$DEVICE_TO_OVERWRITE_WITH_BIN_ZEROS bs=8M" [13:01] cwillu: i think it's has got bad sectors. and i want to format. about my files [13:01] Does anybody here have any experience with crossover and steam? [13:01] !ask | Aloush [13:01] Aloush: 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. :-) [13:01] but as cwillu already indicated this is no real low level format [13:01] bad sectors almost certainly won't be solved by that though [13:01] koshari: aha [13:01] Activity: thq [13:02] DansTheMan, there's also a way to change the priority of disk activity of particular programs, although you need to use the terminal to do that [13:02] jrib why do that? [13:02] you might wanna try badblocks, too (man badblocks) [13:02] !ask jrib [13:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask jrib [13:02] NarbeH cwilli is correct though, this wont fix bad sectors, btw modern drives quarintine bad sectors on the fly [13:02] NarbeH, ^^^ [13:02] Aloush: the answer to your question is "yes". I'm assuming that is not what you actually want answered though. So just ask your real question [13:02] koshari: cwillu: aha. [13:02] Activity, make sure you include his name if you want him to see it :p [13:03] hello ho can i solve this problem with my laserprint xerox , syslog error http://paste.ubuntu.com/152745/ [13:03] Well i install steam but i cant see it [13:03] when i run it [13:03] cwillu, i can expect a little attention by ppl who want help, can't i? ;) [13:03] jrib: I just installed the python-gtx thing and i still get this error: No Python OpenGL support [13:03] Aloush: you know steam works in wine? [13:03] DansTheMan: what did you install exactly? [13:04] jrib, really? is that how you run it? [13:04] Aloush: yes [13:04] !appdb | Aloush [13:04] Aloush: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [13:04] jrib, and it works perfectly nothing wrong? [13:04] Activity, when there's 4 people talking at them, they're likely to miss a statement once in a while :p [13:04] Aloush: works perfectly for me, check appdb for directions and to see what doesn't work [13:04] jrib, i didnt think ti worked in wine i have PlayOnLinux i will try it on that [13:05] jrib: Actually, i think i just fixed it :) [13:05] jrib, I want ti for css [13:05] NarbeH, dunno if you read it, but the badblocks-command can help you detect (and in a limited way fight) bad sectors on your drive. more: man badblocks [13:05] do you use playonlinux? [13:05] Aloush: I've played hl2 and tf2, I don't even know what playonlinux is [13:05] And now i think Synaptic Package Manager has froze [13:05] jrib, its liek crossover but works using wine i think [13:05] Yep it did! === desti_T2 is now known as desti [13:08] Why do I get black screen with only this line after trying to open Digital TV in Kaffeine?

Try #winehq maybe or check the appdb entry [13:14] when i '/etc/init.d/givenservice restart' do i have to specify that i want it to log? [13:15] RAMco: you ran commands in a terminal and they gave you output. I want to see them [13:15] Cwillu: back again.

Probably cause a decent amount of people don't want it in the include path [13:35] but why do they install it, then? [13:35] How do I know which java I'm using? [13:35] guess not lol [13:36] what terminal command can I type to find out what version of Ubuntu I'm using? [13:36] the_dark_warrio: java -v? [13:36] jrib any thing new ? [13:36] eh, java --version? [13:36] zagibu, I generally don't put smarty in the include path, either just include it in the config for the script I am writing or add it to the include path in an .htaccess or the in the apache conf file [13:36] damn, isn't it as well [13:36] Is it possibe to use ubuntu as a spliter for a vpn connection? [13:37] what terminal command can I type to find out what version of Ubuntu I'm using? [13:37] misteralexander: cat /etc/lsb-release [13:37] Hi. i got a laptop at home that i just changed the hdd on, and iv been using a live usb ubuntu on it for a week or so now, without shutting down/rebooting.. now i want to install it to my hdd, but i want to keep all the changes that i made/programs installed on the live system to the harddrive . how do i do that? [13:37] does anyone know if there is a way to organize favorites in vinagre? [13:37] misteralexander: also give us time to type the answer, don't just stand there repeating the question over and over [13:37] dooner: okay...but why? [13:38] Anyone know about X-fi sound card drivers which work well ? [13:39] the_dark_warrio: it's java -version, with a single dash [13:39] qsl: the ones on their website work great for me! [13:39] RAMco: nope, I'm not familiar with that webcam. You might try including the instructions you are following and the pastebin link with your question [13:39] i got the x-fi titanium card. [13:39] zagibu, mostly to avoid namespace collisions, my personal way of doing stuff is to keep my global include_path as small as possible. Not sure if there is any other reason than that [13:40] but how do i install a running usb live system to the hdd and keep the settings and programs installed? [13:40] How do I delete a package but not any of the files it installed ? [13:40] zagibu: hmm. The point is, I entered my bank account, and the java Loading animation was diferent from the other ubuntu version (Im using jaunty beta). Is there a chance of my java beeing corrupted? [13:40] (I made a deb myself but put in some lousy conflicts/dependencies) [13:41] system/administration/system monitor/system [13:41] will give you ubuntu release [13:41] zagibu: I've installed the sun-java6- packages [13:42] the_dark_warrio: i don't think so, but maybe you see something when you do a ps aux when your bank account software is running? [13:42] can i justcopy the content off the /home/ubuntu to my home folder after im done installing the regualr way and just install the programs again? [13:43] how i can schedule cron so it will execute something at 15:04, then at 15:09 etc etc every 5 minutes but starting with xx:04 ? [13:44] i have an external backhdd, is there a way to make files mirror in such a way it saves the last 2 versions of the file, and it has to be done automatically [13:44] zagibu: well, I think there is no strange process running.. thanks for the tips ;) [13:45] edoreld, you need two cron jobs, one will be executed once [13:46] edoreld, 4,9,14,19,24,29,34,39,44,49,54,59 * * * * should work [13:46] dooner: i was just thinking of that, I thought there'd be a better method :P [13:46] the_dark_warrio: i meant maybe you see what kind of java is run by the bank acc software [13:46] dooner: Kartagis thanks for the info ^_^ === pvstest is now known as zalgor [13:47] edoreld, make it run on 5,10 etc and use */5 ? [13:47] zagibu: I've entered about:plugins on firefox and everything seems normal [13:48] maybe the logo for applets looks different than for full apps, who knows [13:48] or the firefox-java plugin has an own logo [13:48] hello. I need an idea to reserve non-privileged tcp/udp ports for later use (filtered by user or serverapplication). Any ideas? [13:49] donner: hmm I'm going to try 4,*/5 [13:49] I'm trying to take a screenshot of a fullscreen Flash animation. But as soon as I press printscreen, it quits fullscreen to give way for the screenshot window that pops up, and what I seen on the screenshot is half the fullscreen Flash thingie, half the desktop. Tried turning off desktop effects, but it didn't help. [13:49] seems interesting [13:49] edoreld, I think that would do 4,5,10,etc.. [13:49] Zargon: try putting on a delay [13:49] zalgor: you could run services on them and configure port-knocking to remotely shut them down [13:49] dooner: will tell u in 20 secs :P [13:49] Foor: how? [13:50] edoreld, nice. [13:50] the_dark_warrio: did you install java sicne I believe jaunty doesn't not use sun java but then again #ubuntu+1 is jaunty support at least for a few more days [13:50] donner: indeed it does what u said :P [13:50] Foor: how do I put on a delay? [13:51] zargon: click Application >Accessories>take screen shot then in the window there is a Grab after a delay of : then put 10 secs in there or so then remax your flash [13:51] dooner: u said "make it run on 5,10 etc and use */5?", I didn't quite understand -.- [13:51] edoreld, the spelling it out with all the commas removes any ambiguity [13:51] @zargon registering at service might work. thank you. [13:52] edoreld, */5 == 0-59/5 == 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55, [13:52] zargon: that make since? [13:52] there is a problem in jaunty, i installed compiz but when i use the cube effect, the one which you can rotate the cube with your mouse, the cube always skips to the last desktop [13:52] what can i do [13:53] dooner: hmm I see [13:53] Kavindu: #ubuntu+1 for a few more days [13:53] yeah i kno [13:53] donner: so ur just saying of every minute, execute the script only on minute 5 [13:53] or rather, every 5 minutes [13:53] Kavindu: so go ask your question in that channel or #compiz-fusion [13:53] edoreld, yep */5 means every 5 units [13:54] ok thanx [13:54] dooner: I'll just write the whole thing 4,9,14 :P [13:54] edoreld, so * */5 * * * would be every five hours [13:54] dooner: give me a minute to ponder about it -.-... [13:55] dooner: right ^_^ [13:55] hello, i've got some problems setting up my broadcom wireless card (broadcom 4328). using jaunty beta, but it didn't work under intrepid either, so... [13:55] Foor: a bit inconvenient, but it worked, thanks! Is there any way to set up a default delay when using the printscreen key? (Actually I didn't even know about that take screenshot application) [13:55] Why is Ubuntu (even Jaunty) still using Eclipse 3.2? [13:56] Oli``: seriously, get eclipse from the website... not from synaptic [13:56] Oli``: yeah, i'd like to know, too [13:56] zargon: I have no idea honestly [13:56] lazy package maintainers, perhaps... [13:57] zagibu: it's especially strange because so many people use it =\ [13:57] where's networkmanager's applet in jaunty multi-user? i don't see it. if i try to run nm-applet i get "** (nm-applet:17126): WARNING **: applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken.

[13:59] yes [13:59] gents, please drop the development rambling [13:59] SeySayux, i dont want to work with pointers, too error-prone [13:59] perlsyntax: what's a pcapy ? [13:59] marcel: please. [13:59] #python ? [13:59] i mean the pcapy that came with ubuntu 8.10 [14:00] perlsyntax: what is pcapy ? [14:00] ikonia, why, this is a chat [14:00] fr [14:00] marcel: it's ubuntu support discussion [14:00] marcel: check the topic [14:00] ikonia, so? [14:00] marcel: No, this is support. #ubuntu-offtopic is chat. [14:00] How do I split up a VPN connection using a VPN server? [14:00] what packages do i need to install to create .deb-packages? [14:01] dooner: I think 4-59/5 will do the trick ^_^ [14:01] SeySayux: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide has a list, as well as a guide [14:01] how to cleanup cartridge on ubuntu? where is command, button or something? [14:01] *printer cartridge [14:01] EQUIV: you mean so diffrent users can vnc into a machine at the same time? [14:01] Ranakah`: it's normally on the printer [14:01] is it possible to use a kernel <2.6.27 with intrepid? [14:02] eldenz: 8.10 uses 2.6.27 [14:02] eldenz, not impossible [14:02] eldenz, make a custom kernel [14:02] eldenz: updating to later versions is not supported and may cause issues unless you %150 know what you're doing [14:02] eldenz, why you want to downgrade? [14:02] eldenz: it may also cause issues with your package manager [14:02] ikonia button on printer? [14:02] Foor, no, i have a vpn connection that only one can use. I want to split it so more users can connect [14:02] Ranakah`: mostly, on a menu [14:03] marcel, i have issues on 2.6.27 with a library that is pretty lowlevel and i was told it works better on <2.6.27 kernel [14:03] eldenz, what lib is that? [14:03] marcel, not a public one... research :) transactional memory [14:04] eldenz, you can always build a 2.6.27 kernel, download it from kernel.org [14:04] eldenz, transactional memory for what platform? [14:05] marcel, okay, or can i just download the linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic package and go from there? [14:05] eldenz, also possible [14:05] marcel, ia64 [14:05] eldenz: it will fail on package dependencies [14:06] how do I list all files belonging to some package? [14:06] eldenz, you can install several linux kernels, and choose from boot [14:06] okay, so i will get one from kernel.org, anything in particular i have to pay attention to? compared to other linux systems with custom kernel (like gentoo) [14:06] what kernel does jaunty use? [14:06] Aperculum: dpkg -L packagename [14:06] Kartagis: #ubuntu+1 [14:06] eldenz: I strongly advise you not to use the vanilla kernels [14:06] thanks :) [14:06] Hi all, I've been having very strange boot problems with ubuntu intrepid. Wrote down all the symptoms, it's rather long, so it's at http://paste.ubuntu.com/152782/ Any Ideas are very welcome, thanks! [14:06] eldenz, you need to configure the custom kernel, the current config for your current kernel can be found in /boot [14:06] Kartagis: 28 [14:07] Can I take a screenshot that doesn't show the mouse pointer, like in Windows? [14:07] The audio of my ubuntu works whenever it wants ! :( Any suggestions? [14:07] EQUIV: not sure how to do it with the app that comes installed on ubuntu but you can sudo apt-get install vnc4server and then su to each user type vncserver then put a password in for them then go to /home/username/.vnc/xstartup and remove the 2 comments they tell you to. [14:07] thanks erUSUL [14:07] ikonia, why [14:08] ikonia, i use custom kernels all the time, no problems [14:08] swiftarrow: a very wierd problem...is it older laptop hardware? [14:08] ikonia, you just have to be careful with nvidia packages [14:08] marcel: breaking the core package managment, restricted driver compatability, it's not a problem if you know what your doing, but to be honest if your asking what to do - you don't know what your doing [14:08] ikonia, you cant break anything [14:09] ikonia, custom kernel building is supported [14:09] of course you can if you don't configure it right, [14:09] marcel: no it's not [14:09] The audio of my ubuntu works whenever it wants ! :( Any suggestions? [14:09] does anyone know if there is a way to organize favorites in vinagre? [14:09] !wfm [14:09] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [14:09] ikonia, just copy over the current config [14:09] marcel: that doesn't mean it will work or build the same [14:09] hmm :) [14:10] ikonia, yes, as with new ubuntu kernels, thats always the case [14:10] wie kann man dvds mit ubuntu schauen (vlc) [14:10] !de | ubuntu342 [14:10] ubuntu342: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [14:10] Hi there, where to I go to ask about problems installing jaunty? === ubuntu342 is now known as ubuntu64 [14:10] #ubuntu+1 [14:10] hi guys, can i burn ubuntu on a dvd? i have not got any cd's left lol [14:10] test [14:10] (hanging on scanning mirrors, not sure its downloading or not) [14:10] ikonia, so what do you advice? [14:11] ubuntu342: go to www.medibuntu.org [14:11] Modded, yes [14:11] Modded: Usually, yes. But burn at the slowest speed. [14:11] eldenz: speaking to the person who said it works better with other kernels and resolving the issue [14:11] fantastic, appreciated guys [14:11] because im in a bit of a pickle, a girl's gave me her laptop to fix, she wants all of the data restored but access to windows has been restricted [14:11] Hi [14:11] so im gonna do ubuntu live cd. back up all the files then install ubuntu on it [14:11] that should work right? [14:11] hi, will using the "Alternate install CD" help dis-selecting the Evolution complex from the scratch? I use Thunderbird ;) [14:11] VLC closes if i start a dvd [14:12] tanzania2: no but once installed you can remove evolution [14:12] tanzania2: umm don't install gnome then by default [14:12] Modded, you can mount the Window partition from Ubuntu and copy the data to a different disc/partition [14:12] ikonia, you should stop people from building their custom kernels, if we would do that i would not even get wireless and my sound card working [14:12] my name is lixiaodong [14:12] thats not a bad idea, thanks ropechoborra! [14:12] ubuntu64: go to www.medibuntu.org [14:12] hello everyone [14:12] marcel: because YOU build a custom kernel doens't mean everyone should, re-read the "works for me" factoid, and FYI: custom kernels are NOT supported [14:12] !wfm > marcel [14:13] marcel, please see my private message [14:13] ikonia, custom kernels are bad? i still dont get it [14:13] marcel: custom kernels are fine if you know what you're doing, as I've said [14:13] ikonia, i cant share what works for me? [14:13] marcel: of course you can [14:14] ikonia, common sense, so thats always the case [14:14] marcel: but telling someone to do something because it worked for you is not a great idea [14:14] When I installed lamp and restarted Ubuntu, gdm didn't want to start and console login was show up to me on login. When I login there and say startx, then I get into Ubuntu. Where's the problem? [14:14] ikonia, thats called support [14:14] ikonia, so i should not help? [14:14] ikonia, i'm giving an option [14:14] marcel: stop trying to provoke a situation - just think about what you're advising people to do [14:15] yeah it's fine. i don't make anyone reliable even if things don't work :) i won't run into trouble [14:15] Also, in panel where I have my name written and beside it shut-down button, there's no icons for my current status (away, busy, etc), but just dark rectangle for all statuses. [14:15] zagibu: i did something like that but vlc closes if the dvd starts [14:15] i've built my own share of custom kernels on other distros [14:15] eldenz, http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu [14:15] i shell set the video output to x11 but how [14:15] thanks marcel [14:15] eldenz, this is a good tutorial on building a custom kernel, configuring takes some time though [14:16] eldenz, you can always boot back to the ubuntu kernels [14:16] ubuntu64: try disabling desktop effects...i had a similar problem with totem [14:16] hello guys [14:16] eldenz, is transactional memory for C? [14:16] I have a question [14:16] i think they are already disabled [14:17] !ask | papermates [14:17] papermates: 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. :-) [14:17] It's really confusing to use Ubuntu 9.04 on virtualbox in seamless mode under ubuntu 8.10 [14:17] marcel, yes it's a C library... it's not really a transactional memory though.. it copies memory pages [14:17] is recommended to compile a custom kernel on ubuntu 64 running on a virtual machine ? [14:17] I never did that [14:17] eldenz, you want to do rollbacks? [14:18] I always used to compile custom kernel on native machine [14:18] and I was wondering if somebody have did that before [14:18] papermates, its never supported nor recommended to compile custom kernels in ubuntu [14:18] marcel, kind of, why are you asking? interested in this topic? [14:18] papermates, there is no recommendation, only thing is that when configured corectly, you have a better kernel [14:18] papermates, other distros offer MUCH better support for it [14:18] eldenz, it was discussed in a java conference, its been looked at for java 7 [14:18] marcel, and broken package management system that depends on your kernel being a ubuntu one [14:19] marcel, specifically for module installation [14:19] Titan8990, what can break? [14:19] marcel, all modules installed via the package manager [14:19] I guess the kernel is the same of the any other distros [14:19] Titan8990, yes, nvidia stuff etc [14:19] Titan8990, but you can install it anyway manually [14:19] I dont like to have a pre compiled kernel with lots of useless stuff [14:19] papermates: yeah, shouldn't make a difference, i think [14:19] marcel, really? nice, my work has something to do with extending java, as well. got any urls? [14:20] marcel, alsa, VM modules, webcam drivers, back-port wireless drivers [14:20] eldenz, it was a j-spring, but thats dutch [14:20] zagibu: not too old, last year. [14:20] papermates: then you'd be better off with a different distro altogether, like gentoo [14:20] hello! I cant read from DVD.. how could i fix that? it's a brand new dvd movie... if i try to copy the vob files i get: cp: reading `/cdrom/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB': Input/output error [14:20] please help :) [14:20] eldenz, google for it, java memoty model java 7, etc [14:20] zagibu : I dont understand why anyways [14:20] Titan8990, alsa is in the kernel, webcam drivers also, all drivers except nvidia-glx [14:20] if the kernel is just the same [14:20] swiftarrow: I just thought it might have anything to do with ACPI, and how it is sometimes "optimized for Windows", which means stunted [14:21] why would I to use another distro to compile a custom kernel ? === root is now known as Guest77263 [14:21] marcel, no... in most distros alsa is in the kernel, this is not the case for ubuntu [14:21] anyways I am going to give it a try [14:21] anyone who codes in perl is it just me or is setting up mod perl on ubuntu a pain in the add [14:21] ass also [14:21] papermates: because if you like slender systems, gentoo can do a lot more for you than ubuntu...a linux system is not only the kernel [14:21] Titan8990, if you build a custom kernel, there are lots of options for alsa [14:21] compiling all the stuff that I need for my hw [14:21] and see what happens [14:21] Titan8990, custom kernel is from kernel.org, not ubuntu [14:21] marcel, I am well aware [14:22] zagibu [14:22] linux system is just the kernel [14:22] swiftarrow: i thought of ACPi, because you mentioned the sleep-issue [14:22] the distro is the distro [14:22] anyways .. [14:22] zagibu, no, I don't think so. Actually, come to think of it, it happend (quite some time) after i tried to change the bootscreen by manually installing another. The install didn't work, so I reverted, and that didn't work, so I re-installed the whole thing from the repos. And (perhaps a week later) it started this stuff. [14:22] papermates, thats correct [14:22] hi, anyone knows how to load ubuntu from XP's bootloader? [14:22] I been gentoo users for 5 years [14:23] how can I boot without starting X-server? [14:23] and I am still gentoo users [14:23] papermates, gentoo user here as well [14:23] papermates: yeah, and in gentoo, you can also compile all software especially the way you like it...remove support for stuff you don't want, etc. [14:23] Lint01: why? [14:23] but sometimes I am forced to use ubuntu on some virtual machines that we have here on the data [14:23] papermates, gentoo is for compiling everything like X, gnome, etc [14:23] thats all [14:23] okay [14:23] Lint01, you have to remove gdm from boot [14:23] i have a problem with my nvidia video driver in 8.10....I am trying to use twinview:Clones.....my laptop has a 16:9 ratio and the monitors I am having trouble with are all 4:3 monitors (dell monitors, overhead projectors, etc). How do I get the 16:9 laptop monitor to switch to a 4:3 ratio so that the clone of both monitors lines up correctly???? [14:23] zagibu, another thing that happens is if i close the lid, it used to go to sleep, now (when booted with splash) it starts the beep until it's slept, an dthen never wakes up again, needs a hard reboot. [14:23] jrib: because it hang the system [14:23] zagibu [14:23] again [14:24] Morning all [14:24] yeahyeah, thanks for your philosophical insight [14:24] its not my chose to use ubuntu [14:24] i understand, thanks [14:24] I am forced to use it .. [14:24] papermates, what was your question again [14:24] a hard fate [14:24] Lint01: can you get to tty1? [14:24] zagibu, anyway, dont loose any sleep over it. Just wondered if anyone knew what it was. I'll be upgrading soon enough. [14:24] they could force you to use Win98, you know [14:24] papermates, debian has good support for custom kernels if you can get away with that [14:25] swiftarrow: the lid close issue also sounds like an ACPI problem to me [14:25] they could force you to use an Atari computer :) [14:25] just wondering if is recommended to compile a custom kernel on ubuntu 64 running on virtual machine [14:25] swiftarrow: maybe google some for your laptop model + linux + acpi [14:25] jrib: no, I cannot get to any session after X startup [14:25] Titan8980 [14:25] how do i load ubuntu from windows' bootloader? [14:25] I am a freebsd user anyway [14:25] papermates, no [14:25] papermates: they have already told you that it's not recommended [14:25] I dont like any linux distros [14:25] out ther [14:25] but as I already said [14:25] papermates, you said you were a gentoo user just a min ago [14:25] papermates, depends on what you want to achieve, do you have hardware that is not recognized (drivers), or want to build amd64 kernel, etc [14:25] I am forced to use [14:26] i want to image my pc -- so i can backup to my current state -- is there a guide/free way to do this?

It'll just loop the last like half second of sound and never stop. "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop" stops the repetitive noise but starting again brings the noise back. Any ideas? [16:40] hello [16:40] i install debian lenny [16:40] I'm getting weird characters in odd places in the RC. Using 64-bit. http://i44.tinypic.com/23h4z78.png . Asking here in case it's not a +1 issue. [16:40] but it's very slow [16:41] jack_wei: And this is #ubuntu, I think you want #debian. [16:41] !info LVM > exodus_ms [16:41] corinth : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. [16:41] exodus_ms: gparted won't help much if you need another physical hard drive added [16:41] * corinth clears his throat [16:41] corinth: All Jaunty issues belong in +1. [16:41] I don't know that it's an issue with Jaunty. It might be an issue with some modification I've done. [16:41] hello, quick question. i am using a linksys usb wifi adapter and after suspend resumes the adapter is not picked up. i have to reinsert it or start the adapter from CL. how do i bypass this stage [16:43] Ghoti_, so to combine /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 to be used as one drive, I need to use LVM? [16:43] anyone here have a lamp the connects with a ms sql server? [16:44] exodus_ms: that's exactly the sort of thing LVM is for. It's a lot easier if you already are using LVM on your current drive [16:44] How do I do a "boot from local harddisk in grub menu.lst"? I boot grub from usb an want to pass it on to local hd boot. [16:45] hello, can anyone help me step by step to install ndiswrapper for my dell usb 1450 [16:45] ienorand: can't you see the local disks in your grub menu? [16:45] andrew_: It's been too long since I last did it to give you the full blow by blow, but I can try to answer any questions [16:46] andrew_: do you have the windows drivers already loaded into the nix partition? [16:46] thats another problem.. [16:46] Hey guys. I'm having major problems with Gecko (wine-gecko). Whenever i start an app which requiers gecko, it freezes and becomes a zombie process. So, I've tried reinstalling _several_ times, but nothing have worked. Any suggestions? :/ [16:46] I need to get the windows drivers from somewhere.. or maby extract them somehow from an exe.. but I dont have windows... on any of my machines [16:46] Clopin, use windows for windows applications [16:46] bbeecher2: see above (excuse me) [16:47] Titan8990: No thanks. [16:47] bbeecher2: I need to get the windows drivers from somewhere.. or maby extract them somehow from an exe.. but I dont have windows... on any of my machines [16:47] Clopin, or my personal favorite, don't use windows applications [16:47] andrew_: hehe, thats the first step - you gotta get the files. You have any computer attatched to the network? [16:47] Titan8990: Well, im addicted to WoW im afraid. [16:47] bbeecher2: Well it's picked up the bcd boot loader but refuses to boot it, and I'm guessing this is probably since grub is on a different disk (usb) than it... can I just use rootnoverify (hd0) to do a localboot? [16:47] Clopin, ehh.... mainstream mmoers...... [16:47] Ghoti_, ok, I'm looking at some info on lvm at the moment, thanks for your help [16:48] exodus_ms: my pleasure [16:48] How is this program called to start another X session in a window? [16:48] andew_: you should be able to find the raw drivers - try googling the make and model of the wifi.. if that doesn't work, you can try to get them out of an exe but you're going to have to install on a windows box and then locate the drivers [16:49] Ghoti_, btw, I'm not using lvm, so it looks like I will need to create a lvm partition formatted from ext3 to lvm? is this what you meant by " It's a lot easier if you already are using LVM on your current drive" [16:49] mpoz2: it's called xnesting [16:49] exodus_ms: that's exactly what I meant. [16:49] mpoz2: sudo apt-get install xnest; Then use gdmflexiserver --xnest to start a session. [16:50] Pici, dirdiff is awesome! [16:50] ienorand: hmmm.. the different disks shoudn't matter as long as the boot images are correctly configured - the boot loader has an entry for your hd, but won't accept it? [16:50] bonhoffer: Is it? I guessed on the package name. [16:50] Brucevdk: thanks :) [16:50] Hi guys - Im a nooby and just wanting to know if I convert my portable hardrive to NTFS will I still be able to run my Ubuntu virtualbox image and virtual harddrive on it? [16:50] Ghoti_, figures :P thanks again [16:50] ienorand: I think rootnoverify wouldn't screw anything up, but I'm not sure thats the problem [16:51] Pici, does what i want it to [16:51] ienorand: can you paste in the bootline config? [16:51] bbeecher2: how do i get the files? extract them? [16:52] andrew_: when I was doing this I was able to find a zip someone had put together jsut containing the files I needed [16:52] andew_: that is the best solution - thats the no fuss no muss way === jumbers_ is now known as jumbers [16:53] bbeecher2: zip appreciated.. but from where? [16:53] andrew_: I found them through some googlein - ndiwwrapper + make of my laptop + make of my wifi card, and some guys blog had a link to some file sharing site with them [16:53] bbeecher2: As in menu-lst? : http://www.mibbit.com/pb/bQvH7Z ( I have edited (hd0,0) to (hd0) and removed savedefault, which I was going to try just now, makeactive I added before and made no diff. [16:53] andrew_: btw, what model wifi do you have? athros? [16:53] bbeecher2: some information saying there is a linux driver ? http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/392982-dell-1450-wireless-usb-dkms-problem.html [16:54] Anyone know if the evolution in jaunty supports exchange 2007 yet? [16:54] hi, i have a problem i just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu on a brand new lenovo laptop and they keyboard and mouse don't work after boot up [16:54] Azalar : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. [16:54] Okay, so I've installed AWStats, but it doesn't have permission to /var/log/apache2/access.log What could be the problem here? These are both out of the box setups [16:54] jumbers: Add your user to the adm group. [16:54] hello all [16:54] If I convert my portable hardrive to NTFS will I still be able to run my Ubuntu virtualbox image and virtual harddrive on it? [16:55] bbeecher2: Hang on... If grub boots from a disk, it would think that disk is hd0 right? [16:55] Horusofoz: probably [16:55] cheers pici [16:55] ienorand: aha - you're trying to boot a windows partition... this looks good to me - the chainloader is the part that should be telling grub to pass on control to the windows box... [16:55] Pici: Which user? My www-data user? [16:55] how can I find out which package refers to what I am looking for? I did an apt-cache search pypanel. [16:55] ienorand: not necessarily [16:55] Horusofoz, i think so, these are just files [16:55] bbeecher2: I think its connexant [16:55] Response was no candidate for pypanel but it is reffered to by another program [16:56] bbeecher2: How can I find out what kind of naming grub has? [16:56] what does that mean? [16:56] andrew_, lsusb [16:56] bbeecher2: more nfohttp://blog.hosting4unow.com/index.php?itemid=12 [16:56] ienorand: can you boot into a shell and run df [16:56] marcel: brb [16:56] jumbers: Whichever user that needs to be able to access the logs. [16:56] ienorand: that should give you a listing of the different disks that are loaded, and where they're mounted [16:57] marcel: Will I be able to read and write to the Ubuntu virtual hard drive/image when running apps etc? [16:57] Horusofoz, i think so, there are just files [16:57] hello every body [16:57] Horusofoz, on what filesystem the images are is not important [16:57] Horusofoz: the virtual machine doesn't know it's on a ntfs partition [16:57] bbeecher2: And does grub follow ubuntu's naming so that sda1 > hd0,0 ? [16:57] andrew_: yeah - try grabbing those files [16:58] jvrmrtn: hello [16:58] hey jvmrtn [16:58] jvrmrtn: hi [16:58] Cool :) Thanks guys [16:58] ienorand: I think so...

[17:00] bbeecher2, I only started learning python last week ---- I know nothing [17:00] ienorand: yeah that coudn't hurt things.... you might want to try asking for answers at #grub as well, since you seem to be hitting some questions on that [17:00] So using bash to do it [17:01] r3dux: this is a good chance to learn then! :) [17:01] you can also replace filenames with the find command [17:01] bbeecher2 - I can code in a dozen langs, I just don't know python and what benefit this os.path might give me - care to elaborate? [17:02] r3dux: if you know how to code pretty well, then you probably don't need another speech that comes down to "because I like it" ;) [17:02] marcel: http://pastebin.com/m199cc105 [17:02] bbeecher2:http://pastebin.com/m199cc105 [17:03] I've had a thousand zips extracting to their own directories, and moved them into one with find . -name *nds > command.sh [17:03] andrew_, i see you already have an ip with the wireless? and its not working you say?

[17:12] sabufrancis, that's really odd... cos I'm pretty sure Nvidia aren't in the soundcard market.. [17:12] sup all [17:12] That is what I thought too. But it is there [17:12] It's probably a nvidia motherboard or something. [17:12] nForce etc [17:12] I've got a brand new Compaq Presario CQ60-101AU [17:12] AMD processor [17:12] laptop [17:12] need help fix xorg on ubuntu 8.10 , it tries to start then fails and all starts over again.

[17:14] r3dux: yes rc if you want [17:14] r3dux: for Amarok to work fine you also need to instal Xine [17:15] Pici: ok === warren is now known as htrejh [17:15] xangua, I have a lot of problems with Amarok. So much so I removed it from my box today and tried songbird. Songbird can't even parse my mp3 collection =/ [17:15] bbeecher2: Ah, turns out that grub was just seing the main hd as hd1 rather than hd0, since it was booted from usb stick... Not following the ubuntu naming... [17:15] How can I update my java? In package manager, sun-java6-jre (etc) are listed as being up-to-date, but that's version 6 update 10 & current is version 6 update 13. [17:15] What is "alsa" ? Some kind of intermediate protocol? [17:15] !latest | Mike||busy [17:15] Mike||busy: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [17:15] hello guys, im trying to make a 80gb partition [17:15] r3dux: have you already installed all the codecs¿¿, what desktop dp ypu use¿¿ [17:15] whats the correct size i use [17:15] dfkjjkd [17:15] Mike >> Add a path to your software sources with the recent java stuff [17:16] thank you, r3dux [17:16] xangua, no codecs needed, use 8.10 gnome - everything latest [17:16] 0[1a5448]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("c:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\nssutil3.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found [17:16] What does that mean? [17:16] like i told you before r3dux, you need to instal Xine so Amarok can play [17:17] I need something like "gconftool-2 --dump /apps/panel > panel-config.dump" and "gconftool-2 --load panel-config.dump" for desktop launchers [17:17] moller_: Have you tried asking in #winehq yet? I see you're not really getting any answers here. [17:17] Pici: Aye, I have. But it's the same there. No answers yet. [17:17] Mike||busy, to elaborate - the ubuntu hardy repo might not have the latest java stuff - look up who does, add that third party repository, update java [17:17] -hardy +ibex [17:17] how can I change workgroup name? [17:19] when trying to activate the nvidiadrivers nothing happens at all. how can I fix this [17:19] xangua, Amarok plays fine. I've even got a more up to date ver than the Ibex repos, it's just being a DICK very often and losing the MySQL DB I've given it access to and rebuilding a lot. [17:19] does ubuntu install a firewall by default, because i am having problems connecting to my proftpd server, i opened the passive ports and the port for the ftp on my router as well, and i still cannot getr a directory listing when i connect [17:19] jum....ok [17:19] I'm just sick of amarok falling over, so I'm using nautilus and right-clicks ;) [17:20] Modded: in gparted? It works in #iB so just use table in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte and convert [17:20] lp84: I think ufw might be installed by default, but I'm not certain [17:20] does anyone here connect to aws s3 with ubuntu -- if so, how? [17:20] !firewall | lp84 [17:20] lp84: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [17:21] Any of you find your dmesg log filled with TCP/IP garbage? [17:21] yea i checked iptables i didnt see anything in the startup script [17:21] Or is it just me? [17:21] where is the position of icons on desktop saved? [17:21] I've disabled logging in GuardDog, but still it's there... think ktorrent is the source.. [17:22] i can't get jets3t to work because of "Could not create the Java virtual machine." [17:23] does ubuntu support 9600m gt?

Do I have to specify it as a global variable? [17:32] Linux ain't for gaming so sli lol [17:32] foldingstock: There are a few cloud computing apps that use GPU's [17:32] Linux is a great os to game on there just arnt many games [17:33] albech, thats an environment variable you're declaring, you should use arguments [17:33] Can't get Xorg to start , it starts i get blank screen and can only move mouse. any help would be welcome [17:33] Linux is not a great OS to game on, or even emulate on. But it IS an awesome OS.

[17:35] Foor: Yes and alot of it! [17:35] albech, what does env say? [17:35] Directx is a monopoly [17:35] r3dux: ushare. Never seen or heard of twonky- any good? [17:35] no $VAR doesnt exist [17:36] what is a good application for adding and editing hotkeys? [17:36] albech, to what value do you set VAR? [17:36] Is there a way to modify the "Places" menu? [17:36] Ghoti_, works for me well enough... I just point it at my videos folder on the NAS, and play whatever I want.. [17:36] albech, export VAR=1 [17:36] the point im making is that linux is customizable so i can get better proformance out of it compaired to windows [17:36] albech, echo $VAR [17:36] thank you [17:36] r3dux: my one complaint about ushare is that you need to restart it to refresh the files seen on the 360 [17:36] marcel, that works [17:36] albech, so what are you using in your script [17:36] marcel, but when export VAR=1 is within a script it is cleared when the script ends [17:36] what is a good application for adding and editing hotkeys? [17:36] Foor - the point I'm making is that linux doesn't have many good games, month by month, like windows or the 360/PS3 does [17:36] Simple fact. [17:37] I love linux. I just game elsewhere. [17:37] marcel, i want another script to be able to pick up that variable later on if needed [17:37] is there an easy way to remove the ubuntu delivered glib?, I compiled and installed a new version, but when I try to compile atk it's still finding the old version ??? [17:37] albech, i've never done it that way, i think its bad design, you should give arguments to another script [17:37] r3dux, not having many good games doesnt mean it cant do it, it means there arnt many games [17:37] marcel, yes, you might be right [17:37] r3dux: Isnt the time between good games decreasing? [17:38] albech, for instance: script_two.sh -o test [17:38] marcel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/152896/ [17:38] Gaming is not on Linux because they all want money [17:38] Hi guys - I want to test my websites on IE. What are my options for installing and running IE? [17:38] corey: I'd rather have time to enjoy the good games before the next ones come out anyhow :) [17:38] marcel, you i know how that works, but it just isnt viable in this case ;) [17:38] Foor: that's kind of a redundant point; much like saying a certain type of pen is awesome for writing, but no one makes ink for it [17:38] r3dux: some new games will play on linux just fine [17:38] lol Foor - point taken. We're a minority... one soul at a time :) [17:38] marcel, you = yep [17:38] !wine > g[r]eek [17:38] g[r]eek, please see my private message [17:38] g[r]eek: you could try installing ie4linux. but it's performance sucks [17:38] koolkartik, so it works again? [17:39] Ghoti_ : I have a whole shelf full of unopened games for the ps3! [17:39] Ubersoldat, ok, so besides wine and dual booting, is there anything else? [17:39] If you have a copy of windows you can use virtualbox :) [17:39] albech, why is it not vaiable [17:39] Hi.. When I create bash script.. If i create a command that requires root privileges - what would be the line before that command for it to prompt me for password? [17:39] Blame game developers [17:39] Ghoti_, thanks [17:39] g[r]eek: virtualization [17:39] g[r]eek: ies4linux is an option but not ideal, you can run virtualbox to get an accurate test but you will need a windows license [17:39] corey: wow, that's a lot of money collecting dust! [17:39] albech, use arguments or use files like xml [17:39] ActionParsnip, I've got an original windows xp cd [17:39] marcel, a little hard to explain.. im pretty limited on this embedded system of mine [17:39] I can play most graphics demos from pouet on VirtualBox with 3D acceleration in linux... doesn't mean I can play HL2... never tried though, tbh.. [17:39] marcel: i didn't get wat u said. [17:40] is there any way to change the console resolution in ubuntu server [17:40] Ghoti_ : My fav non-franchise store went out of business and was selling stuff 95% off on the last day [17:40] koolkartik, according to what i see in pastebin you have no problems [17:40] r3dux: wine handles Source engine games splendidly :) [17:40] r3dux: some games have native installers created by the devs [17:40] albech, you lost me [17:40] Ghoti - ORLY? =D [17:40] corey: holy crap, nice deal! [17:40] r3dux: also check the loki installer project [17:40] When I create bash script.. If i create a command that requires root privileges - what would be the line before that command for it to prompt me for password? it should be something similar to sudo.. [17:40] r3dux: really. [17:40] i am from brazil [17:41] i refuse to play wined games i want native linux games :P [17:41] natrixnatrix89: just as at the prompt: sudo $command_that_needs_root_access [17:41] and i cant speak english good [17:41] albech, environment variables in a script have a different lifespan / scope [17:41] ActionParsnip, please elaborate on your last comment about getting an accurate test on virtualbox [17:41] ActionParsnip - I will, cheers [17:41] thank's [17:41] marcel, its all good.. i will do a little more research and see if i can change the design so it passes on an argument instead of my original idea [17:41] marcel: thnx a lot rather thanx a ton :) [17:41] Is there a program for creating keyboard shortcuts? [17:41] Wine via cedega is a community effort that gets it all working but a good effort [17:41] I have a problem to use Encore ENUWI-G2 in ubuntu 8.10 [17:41] (check loki-installer that is) [17:41] thnx everybody for solving my prob [17:41] corey: you talking about in X or at the command line? [17:41] can you help me? [17:42] g[r]eek: well running ie thriugh wine wont show 100% accurately how it will look as all the windows control commands are translated to linux ones via wine [17:42] albech, there is an standard way of parsing script arguments, i forgot the name [17:42] koolkartik, ok, no problem [17:42] Ghoti_ : IDK. I am a noob and I keep using windows shortcuts and weird things are happening [17:42] g[r]eek: so an accurate test would be virtualisation [17:42] ActionParsnip, i want to know what it will look like in IE on a windows box :) [17:42] anyone using netbook remix candidate?? [17:42] ActionParsnip, ok so that's where "virtualbox" come sin? [17:42] corey: what are you trying to do, exactly? [17:42] comes in === Kissaki^0ff is now known as Kissaki [17:42] I tried Windows Beta 7 in VM as my first ever virtual machine... it looks okay, but runs like a dog [17:43] hi [17:43] !virtualbox [17:43] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

[17:43] Ghoti_, windows key + m this mininmizes all in windows but inverts colors in ubuntu [17:43] r3dux: W7 runs very well as an install, faster than XP on modern hardware [17:43] albech, see http://aplawrence.com/Unix/getopts.html [17:43] (32-bit XP guest OS, that is) [17:43] r3dux: I haven't tested in a VM though [17:43] ActionParsnip, ok so basically i must install windows on my other pc is what you're saying ;_ [17:43] r3dux: on dual core systems vmware runs a lot smooth (or so ive heard) [17:44] knobcottage, whats that? [17:44] corey: you can set those in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts [17:44] g[r]eek: or you can install windows i a virtual pc [17:44] im having a problem starting xorg ,, it start but i can only move mouse.

[17:47] boo-hoo: many see what it says I know it will do the eeepc and the samsung not too sure about anything else. I run it from and sd card eaasy peasy [17:47] DragonRift: in the device secion check so see if there is a "option "SLI" "Auto"" for each of your cards [17:47] ActionParsnip; tried that did not work. [17:47] hello everyone, I have a problem, i installed Ubuntu and it went fine. After installation when i started Ubuntu, it started normally till the screen where the login prompt should come but it doesn't. The screen go black, and all you can do is move the mouse around. other than that nothing happens [17:48] knobcottage, nc10? just bought my bird one of them [17:48] oh ok [17:48] flo-isback: then reboot to root console and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [17:48] boo-hoo NC10 was out of teh box ok as I remember [17:48] dr_phd1, you have only text terminal? [17:48] ok im on gutsy [17:48] sorry hardy [17:48] im on hardy [17:49] ActionParsnip, What does dpkg-reconfigure really do? [17:49] Ghoti_ : Is there a reset to default option? When I try a shortcut with the super key all shortcuts that use the super key activate [17:49] boohoo stick it on an sd and test it out wireless sound al ok on my eeepc [17:49] So I can run virtualbox. [17:49] great [17:49] no, nothing, just a black screen with nothing on it, except for the cursor [17:49] ActionParsnip, thank you for your help. [17:49] corey: so you set a shortcut to just the superkey? [17:49] dr_phd1, can you do: [17:49] Ghoti_ : no [17:49] can anyone remind me how to install using apt-get without installing recommended packages, its something like --no-install-recommends... but thats not it [17:49] dr_phd1, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [17:50] nopes, nothing [17:50] dr_phd1, you cant type commands? [17:50] r3dux: configures whatever you say, things like gdm/kdm xserver-xorg, apache2. just lets you run through the initial setup options [17:50] dr_phd: tried startx? [17:50] ActionParsnip: its starts like before , the screen is blank i can only move mouse [17:51] ActionParsnip, whatever I say? Like "dpkg-reconfigure gedit" would re-install gedit over the top with options I can pick? [17:51] flo-isback: hit ctrl+alt+backspace [17:51] no i can't give commands as there is nothing on the screen, i haven't even entered my password for logining in, there is no login screen, in fact ther is nothing [17:51] Just curious - I should prolly try to find out.. [17:51] r3dux, it will just reconfigure [17:51] hi all [17:52] r3dux, reconfigure runs the installation script again [17:52] ahhh.. [17:52] r3dux: you will get to choose the options for it (if it has dpkg options that need setting) [17:52] Now I get it [17:52] when i start the computer, Ubuntu goes till that Progress bar and then after that a blank screen with a cursor only [17:52] ActionParsnip: does not work nor does ctrl - alt - F1 [17:52] r3dux, a debian package has a script inside it, which runs before or after the files are copied [17:53] flo-isback: drop to console: sudo apt-get --reinstall install (whatever-buntu)-desktop [17:53] Is there a way to have LILO automatically update itse;f? [17:53] itself? [17:53] Wayne323, why do you use lilo? and not grub [17:53] Wayne323: sudo apt-get upgrade lilo [17:54] I have a Dell Optiplex 320.... [17:54] It won't boot with GRUB no matter what... [17:54] Wayne323, also not with jaunty? [17:54] Nope. [17:54] I'm stuck with LILO... [17:54] Wayne323, strange [17:55] dr_phd: are you using a Dell? [17:55] And when the kernel updates, LILO doesn't get a message to use the latest kernel... [17:55] Wayne323, most packages assume you have grub [17:55] Which from time to time, stops it from booting... [17:56] Wayne323, what is your hard drive layout? you have also windows? [17:56] Nope.... [17:56] Wayne323, you have one hard drive [17:56] One hard drive.. [17:56] Latest Ubuntu installed... [17:56] Wayne323, i would really try installing grub, because lilo is becoming legacy [17:57] One Moon Circles [17:57] ActionParsnip: i can't connect to wireless , been using gui. Also can't i just update to 9.04 ? [17:57] hey everytime i want to install somewhat for example this "sudo apt-get install kate" i get the message "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." whats wrong with my kubuntu? [17:57] Eyes in the Dark [17:57] Wayne323, sudo apt-get install startupmanager [17:57] One Moon Circles [17:58] I have a question regarding the opengl headers provided with Ubuntu. Although I have Ogl 2.1 on my system I cannot seem to use glGenBuffers. Says undeclared identifier. I've read elsewhere that I need to include glext.h but I get the same error inspite of this. Can anyone help me with this? [17:58] mackk431, nothing wrong, can happen, just run that command [17:59] anyone? [18:00] mackk431: try here http://paste.ubuntu.com/152915/ [18:00] ActionParsnip: Ok xorg gave up , with a error " xinit; permission denied (errno 13) [18:01] no sudo >? [18:02] cyrax, you should ask this at an opengl forum, i dont think there are many opengl developers here [18:02] marcel: understood. Do you know of an opengl channel? [18:03] cyrax, no i dont, i'm more a java developer [18:03] okay [18:03] hi everyone, i installed Ubuntu, when i started using it for the first time, i booted normally till the point where the login screen has to come, but it didn't, instead after the "Progress Bar" completed my whole computer screen went black and there was nothing on the screen except the Mouse Cursor, i couldn't do anything except move the cursor around [18:03] thanks marcel [18:03] cyrax, game dev channels are good for OGL - but, they don't want to baby you. Wish I knew a good OGL channel myself. [18:04] cyrax: what's your question? [18:04] cyrax, maybe its better to use a opengl library, there are enough opensource libs for that [18:04] They were showing on the discovery channel the other day that Game development is one of the most high paid jobs.. [18:04] im having a dpi problem any pointers [18:04] !dpi [18:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about dpi [18:04] dpi [18:04] ashmew2, I doubt that's true.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to config my ubuntu 8.10 to send system wide emails using a relay smtp account. I've checked countless guides, but thus far they only explain how to setup up postfix ( for example) to act as a full server. I just want "it" to use my isp's smpt act as relay server so that emails don't get bounced. [19:03] Saruji [19:03] Saruji: please stop. [19:03] dooglus: are you plugging it in and finding it doesn't automount and trying to figure out why? [19:03] sorry [19:03] was just checking highlight [19:03] Saruji: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:03] hi everyone [19:03] luca: hi [19:03] hi :) [19:03] whats pastebin? [19:04] JPZ, mail command perhaps? [19:04] my top toolbars have disappeared from all my gnome program windows [19:04] JPZ, or a python script [19:04] !pastebin | Saruji [19:04] Saruji: 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) [19:04] ah ok thank you [19:04] Skapare: yes. until today it was automounting. now it isn't. I'm wondering how I broke it. [19:04] local configuration mess only, other users do not have this problem [19:04] usser, its so that snort for example can send emails. they currently get bounced. [19:05] dooglus: does it show up in "dmesg" command output? [19:05] Skapare: these are the things I disabled earlier today, thinking them unneccesary for me: bluetooth manager, evolution alarm notifier, gnome login sound, network manager, print queue applet, pulseaudio session manager, remote desktop, user folders update, and visual assistance [19:05] dooglus: also, does it add a device to the contents of /proc/partitions ? [19:05] JPZ, you have to set your exim or postfix to act as a relay server [19:05] dooglus: try re-enabling user folders update [19:06] Skapare: it shows up as '[25301.220307] usb 1-6.3: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 37' [19:06] JPZ, all my scripts are at work, hang on let me pull up a decent guide [19:06] Saruji: just create your own channel if oyu want to test irc command , try /join saruji , then you can spam away and bother no one [19:06] ok so searching for "postfix relay server" on google and such should do the trick... thanks for the point in the right direction. [19:06] great usser, thanks [19:06] ok I will thanks [19:06] dooglus: OK, so the driver sees it ... the kernel does not automount it ... some user program gets notified of new device and does so ... that may be connected to the folders update [19:06] Skapare: it doesn't add anything to /proc/partitions [19:06] join saruji didnt work [19:06] hmm [19:07] Hi guys! Let me ask you before opening a bug. In my Jaunty beta gnome, it's happening that when I'm writing a doc with Oo.o, after some 100/200 characters the keyboard begins entering very strange characters, and I haven't found any way to modify this behaviour rather than closing Oo.o and reopening it. I have italian localization, italian keyboard, but I have a spanish layout too in my gnome settings. Any idea about anything similar? [19:07] dooglus: try re-enabling user folders update [19:07] dooglus: and reboot to be sure things got started that might not be [19:07] Saruji: sorry , forgot the # [19:07] Skapare: I have done. I've not rebooted or logged out and in again since, but I also didn't do either since disabling it... [19:07] ah ok [19:07] :) [19:07] complete and utter noob here [19:08] sergei [19:08] saruji === aman is now known as maverick340 [19:08] Saruji: I can tell ... but welcome to the Ubuntu Linux world [19:08] Skapare: I think 'user folders update' is responsible for recreating a bunch of empty folders every time I log in: ~/Porn, ~/TV and such like - that I then have to delete [19:08] Saruji: whatever you are doing that does that, better work on fixing it [19:09] dooglus: something adds a new folder for a drive when I plug in a drive ... was just a guess [19:09] saruji [19:09] Alex whats up [19:09] Skapare: I also took the liberty of uninstalling pulseaudio or some such. it was taking a lot of RAM, and making audio and video be out of sync [19:10] dooglus: I have no idea with all these apps and things ... I'm more of a kernel, driver, bootloader, firmware, embedded stuff programmer [19:10] Skapare: but I would have thought that would be related to this problem - just trying to think what I've changed today [19:10] dooglus: I doubt pulseaudio is responsible [19:10] I guess the thing to do first is to try logging in as a different user and see if it works there [19:10] pulse audio is awesome [19:11] dotblank: what's it for? it seems to me it eats memory and unsyncs the audio - other than that I've not noticed any loss from uninstalling it [19:11] dotblank: does it solve the audio vs. video sync problems that are built into most of the A/V formats? [19:11] dooglus, pulseaudio is aimed at lower end laptops, or laptops with low end soundcards. [19:12] dooglus, it is a software mixer that allows > 1 application to use the soundcard at once. [19:12] ibuclaw: ok, but what is the benefit of using pulseaudio over using nothing? I find using nothing has a smaller memory footprint [19:12] Pulse audio allows to me to individually control volume on per application basis and allows networked audio which i am using rigtht now and allows simultaneous connections [19:12] for those soundcards that don't support hardware mixing [19:12] ibuclaw: I just put 'aoss' in front of each app I run - that lets them share the audio [19:12] dooglus: the sync problems are inherit in bad format designs for most of the audio-video formats ... players have to do weird things to keep them in sync ... some do better than others === kupesoft is now known as davecooper [19:13] Hi. I'm currently running apt-get upgrade on my Eee Pc 901 and was a bit concerned whether it would work since there was little disk space left. During the process, df -h now showed 0 bytes left on the drive several times, but the upgrade continues running without an apparent problem. What's happening here? Could there be problems even though no error is shown? [19:13] Skapare: ok, fine :) [19:13] pulseaudio makes skype use more than 100% cpu? [19:13] dooglus, no ... aoss is not the same ... aoss is an ALSA wrapper for OSS applications [19:13] hey when editing the debian/rules file can i just add --with-mssql anywhere in that file? [19:13] I think pulse audio is what we all need to use, the problem with pulse audio right now really is that apps don't use pulse audio [19:14] dooglus, though, if that is working, then that probably means your soundcard supports hardware mixing. [19:14] few days ago when i connected my Sony Ericsson T700 via usb i could see all my pics. however today i cant see my memory card contents [19:14] so you can disregard pulseaudio if you don't wish to use it [19:14] it only shows up my phone contents [19:14] dotblank: if there is competition for the audio devices and/or video devices for playback, that could explain the worsening sync [19:14] actually when you use aoss it actually sends it to pulse audio, I belive pulse has the OSS plugin [19:15] anyone else facing any similar problem , with digital cameras or phones ? [19:15] dotblank: so yeah, it could solve it by actually using it ... but I'm also not fond of having so many different layers and interfaces for programs to use [19:15] dotblank, if pulse is wrapped around ALSA, then yes, aoss will send sound through OSS -> ALSA -> PULSE [19:16] is this ubuntu desktop only or does anyone know about server as well? [19:16] tready29201, desktop and server :) [19:16] I think pulse is the right way to go, it was just introduced a little early [19:16] hey when editing the debian/rules file can i just add --with-mssql anywhere in that file? [19:17] dotblank, for low latency, JACK does the exact same as pulse [19:17] just a little harder to setup due to XRuns, etc etc... [19:17] tready29201: Packaging questions can be asked in #ubuntu-motu [19:17] ty [19:17] dotblank: what is pulseaudio? a library programs link to? a daemon they communicate with? a driver layer module in the kernel?

[20:03] tkooda, I'm using this command in fstab. The command works when I use it in the terminal, but it doesn't work in fstab any idea why? mount -t cifs //none-xvlc1hi3pv/d/ /media/none/d [20:03] pkuhad: Since Wubi puts the install to a file on your windows install, I would think you could choose that file during another Wubi install as the place to reinstall to [20:03] Davide: the format of fstab entries do not match exactly the format of the mount command [20:04] pkuhad: but as I just earlier said, you are best to find someone who is more knowledgeable specifically with Wubi [20:04] genii-around: is there any cah nce of data loss [20:04] Ghoti_, do you know how I should adjust the entry to make it work? [20:04] pkuhad: There is always of course a chance of data loss [20:04] genii-around: chance of data loss and settings change [20:05] pkuhad: Again, you need more a Wubi guru [20:05] Davide: I'm not intimately familiar with cifs, but you could try: //none-xvlc1hi3pv/d/ /media/none/d cifs defaults 0 0 [20:05] Davide, you won't run the actual `mount` command in fstab.. you'll simply specify it as another fstab config line (like Ghoti_ just suggested) [20:05] how do i make the compiz cube smaller?

[20:07] Ghoti_, tkooda, thanks I'll try that. I thought it woudl work like that because I added a mount line for my second HD with the mount comamnd and it works somehow it mounts at startup [20:07] a931bw: xp will inevitably overwrite mbr so you'll have to reinstall grub to mbr afterwards. [20:07] Ghoti_, I actually dont even know what cifs is or means, I've just been using it from a suggestion from someone in this channel [20:08] a931bw: MS Windows needs to be on first partition of first ordered drive in order to boot. [20:08] cifs is the speficier for the filesystem type [20:08] Davide, "cifs" is the protocol that is used to communicate over the network to the windows machine === purple_ is now known as purple_water [20:08] (yah, what Ghoti said) [20:09] Ghoti_, tkooda Ah ok thanks so whitout specifying it could not work?

[20:10] hi all, how do i transfer a large file from a computer i can acces vwith vncviewer to my local computer ?

[20:12] davide yes [20:12] darkpixel: i mean like.. i click an icon and i want it to execute a command... like mount a drive when i click this link [20:12] Davide: correct [20:12] Ghoti/Davide, I think the "auto" config entry is the default [20:12] kronos84: actually its not even booting i guess the kernel image have been deleted m just trying to install that kernel so that ubuntu works agin........... is there any way? [20:12] dose anyone know which mirror to use and where to put that, so i can start upgrade from 7.04 to latest version?

[20:13] celthunder: after downloading the kernel wat do i hav to do n i hav installed ubuntu under windows...:( [20:14] Ghoti_, tkooda LOVE YOU GUYS!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [20:14] kronos84: spinning up means? [20:14] danaka: nah, with rigth click on desktop [20:14] Davide: That'll be $8.00 ;) [20:14] Ghoti_, LOL [20:14] darkpixel, oh create launcher... that's easy [20:14] thanks [20:14] Ghoti_, tkooda, man been fighting with this.. I guess all I was doing wrong was putting the filesystem in the wrong spot? [20:14] pkuhad can you hear the hrd drive try to boot? [20:14] kronos84: i have installed ubuntu under windows :( [20:14] pkuhad untar it and read the readme/install file it should basically say ./configure;make;make install but since ubuntu uses grub most likely you will haveto copy the kernel from the build directory btw dont foreget to check that you have your filesystem not as a mudle and whatnot in the config before compiling. [20:15] danaka: indeed :-) [20:15] Ghoti_, tkooda, so for mount command the filesystem goes before the locations, and for fstab it goes after? is this correct? [20:15] Davide: it sounds like the mistake you were making was just putting the commandline mount paramaters into fstab.. easy mistake to make :) [20:15] Davide: the mount command it a little more flexible; the fstab requires a specific order [20:16] hi [20:16] hi [20:16] Ghoti_, well I have this line in there as well mount /dev/sdb1 /media/storage And that one mounts that drive fine [20:16] pkuhad you will need to do more reading on dual booting [20:16] salut mbom [20:16] how do i make gtk applications look good under e17? [20:16] celthunder: but ubuntu is not booting, some memtest starts and thats it :( [20:16] Ghoti_, so even with the "mount" command in there it still mounts it at startup [20:17] pkuhad so look at /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:17] Davide: I honestly don't know why that works, lol [20:17] Ghoti_, the difference is it doesnt specify a file system [20:17] Ghoti_, LOL [20:17] having trouble with a script, can someone help me? i cant get a file to execute by navigating from the home dir to the script dir [20:17] Ghoti_, is there a way I could make these moutned locations automatically appear on the desktop at startup?

[20:17] i use q1servs/server1/startscript and it wont execute, but when i go in the actual dir and do ./startscript [20:17] it works fine [20:18] celthunder: yep i made a look at menu.lst ..........but what configuration do i need to change....since no kernel image is there in /boot/{ here } [20:18] Ghoti_, gonna reboot brb [20:18] Hi [20:18] pkuhad if you dont have ak ernel image compile as i said and then make an initramfs (if needed) and add the kernel to the boot menu?

[20:27] It WORKS! :D [20:28] How do I remove a program from starting up? It's not in system > applications > sessions [20:28] luceat: And which version have you installed currently? or do you have nvidia drivers installed at all? [20:28] Marfi: is it an app or a service? [20:28] vfw: service [20:28] Marfi: try services-admin [20:28] vfw: alright, thank ya [20:28] dooner: I'm still looking for the log files [20:28] Davide: yay! :) [20:29] soreau: 169.12. i need to upgrade in order to get audio over hdmi support. perhaps it's easier to upgrade to 8.10 or 9.04? [20:29] Marfi: I think it's Administration -> Services or someplace like that. [20:29] darkpixel: I tried changing the /etc/exports to that and then typing exportfs -ra and I still have access denied [20:29] luceat: Audio over hdmi... which card model is it? [20:29] Marfi: but you can run sudo services-admin I think. [20:30] Has anyone ever had a problem installing over a Fedora install that had a few encrypted partitions? I'm trying to install *gasp* Windows over it. [20:30] ;) [20:30] soreau: 8600M i'm on a hp dv9000 sound card is some HD-intel type [20:30] vfw: yea, I got it. It's still missing a few, though. Things like virtualbox, tor, etc. I don't want them starting up [20:30] Ghoti_, now I get an error when trying to mount my local 2nd HD You are not privileged to mount the volume 'storage'. [20:30] Quick question. I'm trying to make bash script that requires me to use a sudo command. How do I stop the bash script so it doesn't enter my next line as the password? === robeert is now known as robeert_ === robeert_ is now known as robeert__ [20:30] Ghoti_, or when trying to open the mounted location [20:30] Davide: are you using sudo? [20:30] hansoffate: its portmap running? ps aux | grep portmap [20:31] TheFunkbomb: just have it run sudo and it will pause [20:31] TheFunkbomb: when sudo asks you for your password, it reads only from stdin, not the script itself [20:31] Ghoti_, well it's in fstab, and I'm just double clicking the icon. Do I have to somehow set permissions in fstab?? [20:31] TheFunkbomb: so you're cool already [20:31] sweet [20:31] Davide: Is it not in fstab? (and designated "user"). If not, you will have to use sudo to mount it. [20:31] thanks [20:31] Anyone else know how to modify the programs that start at boot? things like virtualbox and tor? [20:31] Davide: when you run mount with no parameters, does is how that the voluume is mounted? [20:31] Davide: Is it not in fstab? (and designated "user" rather than "owner") [20:32] luceat: Well, you can try a couple of things. You can try upgrading from the nvidia site though there may be other components too old to be compatible with that version of the driver. Or, you can try an intrepid live cd and optionally install 8.10 or you can wait for 9.04 to be released and then upgrade. All in all, I think since your hw fairly new, you should consider updating ubuntu [20:32] Ghoti_, vfw, It didn't have "user" next to it... I added it let me try now. I'm kinda confused when it comes to using parameters [20:32] how do i get gparted to let me format my SDCARD ? [20:33] soreau: okay, think that's what i'm gonna do then. i've got no problems using beta-stuff either, so might go for 9.04 anyway :) [20:33] darkpixel: hmmm, it seems to be only running on my ubuntu system. But when I do rpcinfo -p on my server, it lists port 111 is running portmapper [20:33] Davide: to add 'user', just put it with a comma just after 'defaults', so that part reads 'defaults,user' [20:33] luceat: Cool. Good luck [20:33] darkpixel: but it doesn't show up in ps [20:33] Hi [20:33] everyone [20:33] How are your all :D [20:33] i want to format my SD card but it doesnt show up in the gparted list of devices [20:33] Good, and yourself, xDaReaperx ? [20:33] soreau: thanks for all the help mate :) one more thing, anything special i should consider backing up before upgrading? [20:33] hansoffate: and if you try /etc/init.d/portmap status? [20:33] Im' good too thank you [20:34] can somoene here help me with a shell script [20:34] lp84, just ask [20:34] !ask | lp84 [20:34] lp84: 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. :-) [20:34] luceat: You already said it: back up. All depends on what you use most [20:34] Fire away lp84 [20:34] I just pre - ordered myself 1 Ubuntu desktop CD :D ... last month still waiting for it [20:34] only 2 weeks passed yet [20:35] soreau: pr0n backup it is then ;) thanks again o7 [20:35] lol [20:35] Not sure when it will reach here... in Bahrain ... i'm gonna join the design team and help i guess [20:35] well actually its a question about screens, i am trying to execute a program from outside of the directory with screen, (I want to add this entry to the crontab) [20:35] darkpixel: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/cYApMl check it out [20:35] Ghoti_, vfw, this is all I wrote, and it seems to work: /dev/sdb1 /media/storage ext3 user [20:35] lp84: with screen? [20:35] lp84: screen /path/to/the/program [20:35] darkpixel: i pmed you, but i bet it didn't go through [20:36] lp84: just include the full path /home/user/progs/shell.sh [20:36] Davide: excellent. [20:36] Ghoti_, again I am not very familiar with parameters, should I have some other stuff in there? [20:36] does all the softwares that run for Windows work with Ubuntu ? [20:36] hello, I am having an issue with xorg.. I just switched from a 21 [20:36] its actually an executable [20:36] !wine > xDaReaperx [20:36] xDaReaperx, please see my private message [20:36] hi [20:36] how do i get gparted to let me format my SDCARD ? [20:37] hansoffate: i dont see the state, i mean running / stoped [20:37] xDaReaperx: The short answer is No [20:37] what is the minimum processor speed to run 9.04 [20:37] lp84: it'll still work, just specify the pull path to /usr/local/bin/myrandomtool [20:37] Davide: That is your fstab entry? [20:37] Oh thnx Ghoti .,.. well where do i get this WINE ? [20:37] i do screen -A -m -d -S tf1 /home/pathtoexec/executable -extraargs [20:37] and it doesnt give me an error [20:37] vfw now it is /dev/sdb1 /media/storage ext3 user [20:37] it just doenst execute [20:37] vfw, would you put any other parameters? [20:37] the only time it works, is when im in the actual directory of the executable [20:38] darkpixel: yea, it didn't list it ... but its installed supposedly. It was much easier setting up NFS shares w/ ubuntu to ubuntu. lol [20:38] hello, I am having an issue with xorg.. I just switched from a 21" crt to a 22" widescreen LCD and I beleive the res is out of range because it is set to 1600x1200 and my monitor supports up to 1680x1050.. so all I can get is part of my desktop with no response from mouse... All I can do is go to a failsafe XTERM session. I tried dpkg-reconfigure and it didn't help. Any idea? [20:38] Ok i got it now thnx Ghoti :D for the support.... [20:38] lp84: try making a shell script that CDs to the location of the binary, and runs it, and have screen call the script [20:38] Davide: if that doesn't work try: [20:38] xDaReaperx: np, cheers [20:38] any way to put ubuntu on a flashdirve and run it off the flash drive? [20:38] hansoffate: yes, ok, so try starting the portmap in suse /etc/init.d/portmap start [20:38] vfw, no it works fine, just wondering if other parameters would benefit anything I dont know anything about parameters [20:38] Some brat in #peltkore say ubuntu suck. They start the chann topic anti-ubuntu [20:38] how can i find the /dev/xxxx name of a mounted usb drive ? [20:38] Davide: /dev/sdb1 /media/storage auto noauto,user [20:38] programmer1: boot a livecd, then go to System, Administration, Create USB Startup Disk [20:39] darkpixel: i just tried to and it failed. Checked the system log. Apr 17 12:35:45 reborn portmap[9541]: cannot bind udp: Address already in use [20:39] vfw, so settingauto for the filesystem make it recognize it automatically?

I don't understand [20:58] mib_y5wd1ehp: I think you normally want to go with all recommended options through the reconfiguring... [20:58] amathis LCD panel config menu [20:59] darkpixel: this seems like a really odd error. Everything seems to be configured correctly [20:59] knobcottage: no the volume is turned all the way up [20:59] hansoffate: seems so. Ok, paste the output of "rpcinfo -p localhost" run on the server (suse), and the output of rpcinfo -p serverIP run on the client (ubuntu) [20:59] ienorand, now i'm at a dead end. i clicked yes, then yes on the us keyboard. now it won't let me go any further [21:00] ienorand, sorry one moment [21:00] kronos84: I don't have that option [21:00] ienorand, now im back at the terman [21:00] and apt-cache search setupx returned nothing === sean is now known as Guest30967 [21:01] ienorand, it's just giving me a post install warning, but blank [21:01] amathis can you tell me panel maker and model?

I'm not sure if there is a reverse aoss filter available.. but that's what I would look for [21:06] gartral: look at the file /etc/firefox-3.0/firefoxrc .. it sets a variable called FIREFOX_DSP .. might be useful [21:06] Slart: i have aoss, but know very little of how to set it up, MOST media plays through ff already... web page music, moives from non flash players, this seems flash specific [21:07] guntbert: Thanks, I'm a newb!!

Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [21:16] mib_y5wd1ehp: the reconfigure command has replaced you "various drivers" (including video handling) configuration file with the default one... Hopefully this will enable ubuntu to boot.

[21:17] hey, not to bust in and start asking questions, but in some applications, the menu bar text doesnt show up unless you hover over it, anyone know why that happens? [21:18] using ubuntu 8.10 [21:18] /quit [21:18] Is Jaunty released? [21:18] how do I filter the ls command's output by file type? [21:18] after upgrading the processor, is a full reinstall in order? or can I just adjust a few settings and it will recognize it ? [21:18] barf: only release cndidate so far 23 apr [21:19] Cutter: there's supposed to be a small performance gain.. but nothing you'll notice in general use [21:19] drone: if you're still using the same architecture I think it will just recognize it just fine [21:19] Slart: aren't some applications less stable in 64bit? [21:19] Waldir: ls -lAh |grep ^d [21:19] will give you directories [21:19] Cutter: not these days [21:19] I've been told that Adobe flash 64bit isn't too stable [21:20] ienorand, not trying to be pushy at all, i was wondering if you ahd any other ideas or if i should go back to googling? [21:20] Cutter, I run 64 bit and haven't notice any problems. [21:20] Cutter: with the new 64 bit flash I don't really see any problems [21:20] mib_y5wd1ehp: nah... not really sure where to go here [21:20] barf: can you tell me what that means please? [21:20] Cutter : I can vouch for that. Don't bother with 64-bit if you want to look at webpages with flash. [21:20] Cutter: some proprietary stuff still isn't available.. for example I can't use some electronic id's since they only have 32bit plugins [21:20] How do i start a service with xinit? [21:20] Slart: cool, I have a client with a lenovo laptop and I want to go one step up on the proc to make it a bit snappier for them, but I'd rather not have to reinstall [21:21] Cutter : The Bug can be reliably reproduced by going to a single html webpage with 25 embedded youtube clips. [21:21] Hello guys. Anyone here with some knowledge of pppoe and willing to help me? I`m using a pppoe connection in my campus, and every 10 minutes or so it keep "failing" on. What I mean to say is that after a while my internet is not working. My connection is still active, but I can`t ping any think nor open a website. Strangely, sometimes my p2p connection will keep working. The only solution is to disconnect and re-connect. And it`s VERY annoying! So .. any s [21:21] uggestions? [21:21] anyone care to help a computer illiterate, but generally smart guy, try to get my pc running? i tried to dive right into linux, deleted my old stuff and now i have no pc. i get a peach screen after login help! [21:21] drone: I don't think you'll have to reinstall for that [21:21] Cutter : I think they are not close to fixing flash on 64-bit. [21:22] trone: define "service" [21:22] pc, proftpd [21:22] Slart: I didn't really think so either, especially since I'm not getting anything with more cores or really that drastic in difference [21:22] trone: with xinit? why xinit? or do you mean xinetd? [21:22] Slart: thanks for the insight! :) [21:22] drone: you're welcome =) [21:22] sisif: anything in /var/log/messages? [21:23] Anyone successfully built grub 0.97 on ubuntu? My upper memory limit is negative and grub seg faults... [21:23] MIB suggest you download and burn a liveCD [21:23] mikejet: do you know of an url I could try? something that ought to crash the 64bit flash plugin? [21:23] user_: no. I looked at EVERY log that might prove useful. If you want I can pastebin it to you. [21:23] pc, i guess so it ask me if i wanted standalond or xinit and i though for so stupid reason xitin would be quicker [21:24] mib_y5wd1ehp: can you log into the console? F1 might give you a login prompt? [21:24] pc, never used it before. thought it had some graphic interface [21:24] trone, standalone will be quicker as it will always be running [21:24] trone, if you run it out of inetd , then startup will be slower since it will spawn a new proc on connect. [21:25] trone: I'm guessing you mean xinetd, not xinit. [21:25] pc, not once i get past the username longin [21:25] xinit starts the X server [21:25] i know. just trying this cd out and thought xinit had a gaphical interface i guess [21:25] also proftpd is an ftp server, there really isn't a gui per sea (That I know of) [21:25] mib_y5wd1ehp: so, peach screen, and you can't do a thing with it? sounds like perhaps a graphics hang? [21:25] sisif: ok, no need then. maybe contact the admins on your campus? [21:26] how do i uninstall an app with app-get [21:26] i will read acctualy [21:26] trone: remove or more drastic purge [21:26] pc, i can move my mouse cursor if that means anything. no idea if it's a graphics hang. how can i check? (don't even know what a graphics hang is.) [21:26] user_: I`m kinda sure that is somehow linux related since on Windows machines (XP, VISTA) I don`t get this behavior. I just can`t figure out what it is [21:27] if anyone helps get this work you will have saved me some major nagging from the wife [21:27] mib_y5wd1ehp: you can move the cursor, but ctrl-alt-F1 does nothing? [21:27] pc, correct [21:28] sisif: #linux has a bunch of know how. maybe they can help [21:28] user_, just remove it so i can reinstall it [21:28] dooner: instead of proftpd, pureftpd has multiple GUI's and for me, its a much powerfull and secure than proftpd (http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/pureftpweb.htm) [21:28] user_: thank you [21:28] mib_y5wd1ehp: something is hung, methinks... [21:28] trone: so you do apt-get remove package-name [21:28] pc, what does mean for me? not sure what to do about something being hun [21:29] as a last resort, will I be able to reinstall ubuntu and have it setup the widescreen LCD monitor automatically? [21:29] mib_y5wd1ehp: you may want to reboot, then before logging in via the GUI, ctrl-alt-F1 and log in there, then you might(?) find some info in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old [21:29] i feel so stupid pureftpd was what i was looking for [21:30] trone: :-) [21:30] darkpixel, yep I am well aware of proftpd vs pureftpd :) I actually maintain some of the proftpd code :) [21:30] pc, permission was denied [21:30] dooner: good to know :-) [21:30] this is all messed up now [21:31] darkpixel, albeit I run it primarily on FreeBSD. My Linux boxes use pureftpd. [21:31] mib_y5wd1ehp: from the command line use "sudo nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old" [21:31] i was i was paying attention [21:32] Hi All [21:32] Anybody can recommend if I should remove pulse audio? It seems that my sound stops working randomly.. And now for some reason, whenever I start the machine, no sound. [21:32] ienorand, what should i do once i open it? [21:32] mib_y5wd1ehp: sudo will run it as root to get past permission problems. use with great care! :-) [21:32] i hav upgraded my ubuntu and now after rebooting linux-2.6.24-19 or any other kernel is missisng only meme test86+ is ther...... need help to reboot that again and i hav installed using wbui [21:32] Does anyone know how can it happen that one user has internet access one not from the same PC? [21:32] i see the package manager is much better than the add remove thing [21:33] !tor [21:33] mib_y5wd1ehp, it starts up and all you get is a peach screen? that sounds to me like X is starting, but failing to initialize the session [21:33] Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [21:33] mib_y5wd1ehp: Look for lines starting with (EE) or (WW) errors/warnings [21:33] Anybody can recommend if I should remove pulse audio? [21:33] no, not how to use tor here - how to install it for ubunut [21:33] Arth_Ur: what do you mean with "internet access"? dial out maybe? [21:33] loquitus_of_bor1: I did. no problems yet [21:33] hello! [21:33] dooner: mib_y5wd1ehp That is probably the case. [21:33] Loquitus remove pulse audio , for futher info google linux outlaws [21:33] hey, i've got a question about the "home encryption" i just installed ubuntu on a new harddrive.. mounted my raid (on which i have my old /home ) and i was able to access all my files without entering my encryption passphrase a sigle time? [21:34] i guess it shouln't be like this? [21:34] if the users ID, name and pass are the same you won't be prompted [21:34] More did you encrpt that old system? [21:34] mib_y5wd1ehp: I wonder what graphics driver you are using, and what graphics hardware you have. you might be able to drop back to "vesa" driver [21:35] iok, well i found only ww's. a few of them are for inel(0). and one if by a directory [21:35] although one would think it would check the machine name too ... hrm... [21:35] user_: I mean it can't ping any address, no web access etc [21:35] mib_y5wd1ehp: no interesting messages at the end of that file? [21:35] (and you're looking at the .old file, right?) [21:35] Arth_Ur: so 2 users on 1 machine, 1 can access net the other one cant? [21:35] Slart: after digging around, i cannot find /etc/firefox-3.0/firefoxrc, there are two folders at /etc/firefox-3.0/, but no files [21:36] i hav upgraded ubuntu and now after rebooting linux-2.6.24-19 or any other kernel is missisng only memtest86+ is there...... need help to reboot that again and i hav installed using wbui :( [21:36] pc, yes i am looking at that. no there is not ineteresteing message. just ends [21:36] Cpudan80: yes, exactly [21:36] gartral: hmm.. I wonder if it's some kind of leftover from 8.04.. [21:36] Arth_Ur: tell us a bit more about your network setup [21:36] mib_y5wd1ehp, i've not been paying to much attention, but when it goes to start do you get the login screen? [21:36] Slart: well.. im in 9.04... [21:36] Arth_Ur: what's the output of ifconfig ethX for each user? [21:36] er [21:37] Arth_Ur: where X is some number (usually 0) [21:37] Slart: 8.10 nvm [21:37] dooner, yes then i get the peach screen of death [21:37] (after i login [21:37] Will ubuntu support a widescreen LCD with nvidia drivers out of the box? [21:37] Arth_Ur: use a pastebin to paste [21:37] !paste | Arth_Ur [21:37] Arth_Ur: 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) [21:37] gartral: I'm running 8.10 atm.. but I upgraded from 8.04 .. perhaps it something left behind [21:37] mib_y5wd1ehp, ok then look at ~/.xsession-errors [21:37] is it possible to create a fake eth device? i want to create a /dev/eth0 device and make my current eth0 /dev/eth1 [21:37] the ifconfig is the same for both users [21:37] amathis: define "out of the box" [21:37] mib_y5wd1ehp, something like less ~/.xsession-errors [21:38] amathis I would say yes [21:38] Arth_Ur: ok right, so the one user must have disabled the gnome network manager or something [21:38] how do i get out of this file? [21:38] pc: basically, Xorg died when I switched from a CRt to a widescreen LCD.. I am thinking after days of pain, I will just reinstall ubuntu fresh and keep my home partition. [21:38] Arth_Ur: to change the actual networking stuff requires root access - but users can block themselves out by killing the network manager [21:38] or by screwing up the settings [21:39] i hav upgraded ubuntu and now after rebooting linux-2.6.24-19 or any other kernel is missisng only mem test86+ is ther...... need help to reboot that again:(! [21:39] mib_y5wd1ehp: how'd you get in? [21:39] helo, I have a few questions about security... When my machine has been running for a few hours, My user/root password stops working. For example when I´m trying to access the synaptic packet manager it asks me for the password but the password doesn't work, even though I'm using the same password as worked earlier. Also I'm unable to run the terminal at that point. When I reboot everything is back to normal and all is working. Can this be bec [21:39] mib_y5wd1ehp: ":q" (no quotes) for vi [21:39] typing in the prompt sectino [21:39] ? [21:39] how can I view my partitions command line?

[21:40] fdisk -l [21:40] neurobuntu: heard once that ethn are just links to kernel modules.. so if you search for modules list and add an entry.. maybe. [21:40] pc: fdisk [21:40] amathis if it isnt a big pain give it a try and continue effort to configure xserver resolution to match your screen [21:40] anybody? [21:41] amathis: you might be able to just remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try again...it'll try a default config then [21:41] UbuntuNeww sup? === ubuntu is now known as blithe [21:41] sup?

Anyone got a solutino for this suspend pb on 8.04 ?

What are the dependencies to declare? [22:21] you can use it in Gnome ass well [22:21] euthymos, something like kde-libs will install required qt libraries and more, maybe libqt will install only the essential QT libraries.

You should search before "aptitude search lib qt" [22:24] bach: that app is for setting res with the nvidia driver [22:24] dpkg -S will tell you the package name [22:24] I've found libqtcore4 and libqtgui4 [22:24] hello [22:24] I think they do the trick but strange there's not a metapackage [22:24] DigitalKiwi, what could you advise?

Something small that is done is QT. But beware, if it is part of the whole KDE it will try to install KDE specific libraries too.

[23:04] that seems to be the only thing i'm missing [23:04] h8red: Its fun to learn :) [23:04] i need a good starting place [23:04] cbwcjw: maybe pulse audio is not started when you use fluxbox [23:04] !info atl2-source | Gulopine [23:04] Gulopine: atl2-source (source: atl2): Linux Base Driver for the Atheros(R) L2 Fast Ethernet Adapter.

Got a Linux workhorse, a mac, and a windows gaming box [23:10] ghoti: On this box though, are you dual booting? [23:10] Lawd. [23:10] Lyth1: and the linux workstation at work that I'm using now ;) No, I'm not dual-booting at present [23:10] ??? [23:11] Is your monitor like a generic [23:11] c4pt: most probly no correct driver loaded; you can test system-mem( not the graphics one ) with live cd [23:11] zsquareplusc: no difference. [23:11] c4pt: when a window goes grey that means it's not responding to the OS, either because it's frozen or because it's gone momentarily autistic [23:11] Ghoti_, so how do i fix it? add more ram? [23:12] c4pt: do you use compiz on a weaker pc ? [23:12] c4pt: it really depends on what you are doing and what apps are going autistic on you [23:12] DasEi, i am using compiz fusion on an 8800GT 1GB nvidia with a d5400xs motherboard 8 cores dual xeon 2.33ghz with 2gb of ram [23:12] c4pt: in my experience, more often than not, if you let them lie, they'll come back to life, especially Firefox [23:12] DasEi, ?? [23:13] c4pt: so no hardware issues, and 2 gigs are enough too (lol) [23:13] c4pt: definetlly is not a weaker pc lol [23:13] heh [23:13] so what could be causing this? [23:13] c4pt: did you install the propitary driver ? [23:13] DasEi, propretary for broadcomm [23:13] c4pt: which applications is that happening with? [23:13] Can someone look at my forums post for me? I'm having a problem with my SATA drives on 8.10 [23:13] I have installed SMPlayer (it works) so now I'm trying to make it the default player for multimedia under System > Preferences > Preferred Applications ... but it still runs Totem Movie Player despite selecting SMPlayer [23:13] DasEi, for graphics i used the one directly from nvidia [23:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7088160#post7088160 [23:14] Ghoti_, not just one app different apps. [23:14] anyone know how to force the preferred player for multimedia? [23:14] c4pt: and it installed well and can be found under hardware drivers ? [23:14] hi [23:14] DasEi, yeah [23:14] c4pt: the same ones usually, or does it seem sort of random? Do they stay grey, or do they come back to life after a few moments? [23:14] Olá A todo s [23:14] c4pt: did you check your log files for errors ? [23:15] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL [23:15] when i turn off firestarter with #rcconf, it won't unsecure my ubuntu 8.1 [23:15] right? [23:15] anyone has a clue? [23:15] Ghoti_, just random. [23:15] salut [23:15] note [23:15] LiraNuna: what are you doing when that error occurs? [23:15] LiraNuna, what are you trying to do? [23:16] c4pt: check /var/log/syslog , kern.log in same dir , /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log for errors [23:16] c4pt: hmm. will it happen when you only have one or two apps running, or only when you're seriously multitasking? [23:16] I'm trying to compile an OpenGL application [23:16] note .. portable ubuntu dosen't work in vmware/virtualbox .. i tried 3x [23:16] I'm a developer, and I switched to 64bit, [23:16] hello, I have been having issues with an LCD monitor, so I decided to reinstall... When I choose to install from the cd, it has the splash screen then says 'input not supported', any thoughts? [23:16] it can't find opengl libraries.. [23:16] Greeting everybody [23:16] Ghoti_, when i am pushing a heavy load it seems to do it. but i have ram available in system monitor [23:17] DasEi, as noob as this might sound i dont know what exactly to look for in the logs [23:17] LiraNuna, Have you installed the developer packages, eh, developer? [23:17] I have a question [23:17] vocx, what do you think? [23:17] Usually it's more CPU than RAM that causes autistic apps.. next time it happens, open a temrinal and run 'top' and see what your 'load' numbers are [23:17] lol [23:17] LiraNuna, NO [23:17] c4pt: open a terminal... [23:17] I have a question [23:17] vocx, libglu1-mesa-dev is already the newest version. [23:18] tosyandpipi56: ask away [23:18] Is this really as acurate as it shows or is there anything else I should be aware of? (http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm?page=3) [23:19] LiraNuna, you need several packages, like freeglut, libglut and so [23:19] c4pt: done ? [23:19] vocx, why would I need freeglut for openGL? [23:19] Has anyone had a problem with installing ubuntu with a widescreen LCD? [23:19] c4pt: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [23:19] glut is libglut (-lglut) NOT -lGL [23:20] tosyandpipi56: looks like it is [23:20] DasEi, ok? [23:20] so if i learn how to do things well in ubuntu, will that carry over to other distros [23:20] c4pt: pastebinit /var/log/syslog <<<< How do I regenerate the readahead files in /etc/readahead/* ? Reinstalling the readahead package and booting with thre "profile" kernel option did not work. Still empty. [23:20] DasEi, pastebinit installed [23:20] h8red: for the most part, yes [23:20] Ive never been comfortable with modifying my MBR [23:20] !paste | c4pt [23:20] c4pt: 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) [23:20] is it all the same commands and whatnot [23:20] c4pt: pastebinit /var/log/syslog <<<< i know what pastebin is [23:20] I was going to use Wubi but I heard it was a virus [23:20] i wasnt aware there is an app for it. [23:20] i usually use pastie.org [23:20] vocx, uh, seems like I need to use the libraries for my graphic card, installing nvidia-glx-180-dev worked... [23:21] tosyandpipi56: my advice is to go slow, and try to do it by another computer so you can go online and ask for help in case something goes wrong [23:21] c4pt: pastebinit /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log [23:21] uu [23:21] h8red: again, mostly yes. the main thing that changes form distribution to distribution is the package management [23:21] c4pt: someone will eventually make an app for everything [23:21] I want to sync my evolution from desktop to laptop and visa-versa (combine items), how can I do this? [23:21] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f6379d9ef [23:21] Skapare, isnt that what PackageKit is? [23:21] Ghoti_: am i missing something? do i need to install/configure that package beyond the command you gave me? [23:21] LiraNuna, I see. [23:21] Ive done it on VMware Workstation, and everything went fine [23:21] Light-: an app for everything? [23:22] i apologize for sounding completely ignorant, i'm just used to things that just work :( [23:22] vocx, that's weird, on 32bit I don't need to install anything else [23:22] wait what, osrry I read the wrong line [23:22] Gulopine: what's the output of lsmod | grep ath ? [23:22] Gulopine: you're not the first [23:22] Skapare: an app for everything, and for everything an app :) [23:22] Hi. My sound has stopped working, for no apparent reason. Sound card is still detected but no output! Should I remove pulse? Reset alsa? Please help. [23:22] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f6236403a [23:23] loquitus_of_bor1, sound in ubuntu has been borked since 8.04. have you tried restarting? [23:23] Is a GeForce 7 compatible with Compiz? [23:23] Ghoti_: nothing. but i think that's because of trying to follow instructions from the site i linked earlier. [23:23] loquitus_of_bor1: isn't it 'Locutus'? [23:23] topsyandpip56, yes, with nvidia's driver [23:23] Light: yes... tried restarting and yes... I purposely spelled it that way [23:23] Ghoti_: i'll undo those changes and let you know what i get [23:23] Gulopine: try sudo modprobe ath5k, then the lsmod command again [23:23] my sound is broken sinds last kernel update [23:23] two weeks ago [23:23] I heard I just had to enable the restricted driver [23:24] FATAL: Module ath5k not found. [23:24] And would a Realtek Ac'97 onboard sound work? [23:24] topsyandpip56, system->admin->hardware drivers [23:24] Gulopine: insmod ath5k ? [23:24] LiraNuna, you should check specifically which libraries it is liking, and see if they are contained in the same packages. [23:24] Gulopine: one reason many things don't "just work" is lawyers ... next time you meet a lawyer, thank him for his kind making your computer so screwed up [23:24] c4pt: I'm still reading; sudo apt-get install conky && conky < i should disclose: i used wubi to install, in case that makes a difference [23:24] Whenever I start a "Termina" from gnome using a shortcut I've setup, it always drops me into "/"? Any one seen this before? [23:24] Light-, thanks, I'm happy there is no terminal stuff to do! [23:24] Gulopine: 8.04 or older? the ath5k driver came in in later kernels [23:24] vocx, it wants /usr/lib/libGL.so - aka -lGL [23:24] zsquareplusc: 8.10 [23:25] Should I just remove pulseaudio? [23:25] And would a Realtek Ac'97 onboard sound work? [23:25] loquitus_of_bor1: right-click on volume control in panel, click settings, and check for devices that are set to mute. [23:25] vocx, libglu-mesa1-dev also provides it, but it didn't work; seems like I need my driver's libGL [23:25] Gulopine: that should have it. [23:25] Ghoti_: insmod tells me no such file or directory [23:25] Gulopine: wait, it in a extra package [23:25] zsquareplusc: would having used wubi made a difference? [23:25] Can someone please help me with this issue: I cannot install 8.10 because it hangs up on my SATA drives and I can't get it to work. [23:26] nazgul: not mute. checked that [23:26] And would a Realtek AC'97 onboard sound work? [23:26] zsquareplusc: yeah, i saw a link that said it was in backports, but i didn't know how to get it [23:26] loquitus_of_bor1: check all subdevices, too... there are lots of rulers [23:26] c4pt: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [23:27] Can somebody please answer my question? :-/ [23:27] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/fcc78155 [23:27] topsyandpip56, My onboard AC'97 works without issues, with pulseaudio or alsa. [23:27] c4pt: the 2 logs given before let me find no serious error, the vid-card seems to work fine [23:27] zsquareplusc: ah, the apt-get command Ghoti_ showed me seems to be getting the backports module now [23:27] topsyandpip56: I'm having trouble getting mine answered too.. seems to be busy today :( [23:27] topsyandpip56: AC97 sound should work, yes [23:27] vocx: Thanks, I used to have problems with a Sound Blaster Audigy [23:27] So I got it replaced [23:27] DasEi, conky (top) is showing 15% cpu usage for ¨wine¨ (wine is not an emulator) [23:28] c4pt: If you have a second can you help me with my SATA issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7088160#post7088160 [23:28] is there a way to reload my audio drivers without rebooting ubuntu? randomly they just stop working [23:29] c4pt: what are you running it it ? [23:29] topsyandpip56, mine is a K8M800 motherboard with VT8237 chipset, but it's fairly standard. Don't expect fancy sound. [23:29] i have a problem with sound in uuntu 8.10. whenever i mute the sound and some sound plays (it doesn't because it is muted but..) i hear a lot of crackling. if no sound is played no crackling at all [23:29] DasEi, trying to install a game from cd using cedega at the moment and cedega is like 99.9% wine based [23:29] k, rebooting now that ath5k shows up in Hardware>Drivers. see if it works [23:29] DigitalGeek, what sata controller is it? maybe try sata in IDE or legacy mode [23:29] Hi I was able to install MythTV, when I set the storage directories to my second hard drive, I get an error saying that mythtv was unable to write to those directories. Do I have to give MythTV SUDO permission somehow? any ideas? [23:30] vocx: I really don't mind, as long as I can hear YouTube, LOL [23:30] I'm not sure.. I have a XFX GeForce 8200 so maybe I can look it up based on that. [23:30] sabayon [23:30] or run CPU-Z [23:30] DasEi, cedega right now is just greyed out. i have to force quit and re initialize it but it does the same thing [23:30] Hi! I want to access a Ubuntu server from a XP machine, what progs should I use? [23:30] topsyandpip56, will do [23:30] putty [23:30] c4pt: so no current running act, let it finish then, I also don't know where the idle of an 8 core sits; you might to enable the partner's repos in your software sources, then do an update/grade [23:30] bo7 putty maybe [23:30] Bo7: Putty. [23:30] Bo7: putty for console based access using ssh [23:30] lol [23:31] 3 answers ftw [23:31] ah, great, thx all! [23:31] putty for shure [23:31] Bo7: you can use desktop sharing using vnc or run an x server on win (xming) [23:31] DasEi, partner repositories? [23:31] i have a problem with sound in uuntu 8.10. whenever i mute the sound and some sound plays (it doesn't because it is muted but..) i hear a lot of crackling. if no sound is played no crackling at all [23:31] DasEi, running 9.04 btw [23:31] thebloggu: tell your cat to stop playing with the speaker wires :) [23:31] is that the http://www.realvnc.com ? [23:32] I have the same problem as thebloggu [23:32] lol :-) [23:32] DasEi, it doesnt just do it with cedega or wine though it does it randomly at times with other apps [23:32] Ghoti_, i indeed have a cat but that's not the issue :P [23:32] Bo7: for example. there are several free vnc viewers available [23:32] Ghoti_: I Laughed, but uh, I still have my issue [23:32] Ghoti_, and i am on a laptop so no wires :) [23:32] thebloggu: it was worth a try :) [23:32] c4pt: check system > software sources, there you enable then, or look at your sources.list : http://pastebin.com/fcc78155 , 44 n following [23:33] Ghoti_: It might be using the wrong soundcard. How do I make it prefer the different soundcard? [23:33] dries_, asus laptop ? [23:33] zsquareplusc: witch is the best iyho? [23:33] Bo7: please note that vnc is usually not encrypted, so don't use it over the internet unless oyu tunnel it through ssh or a vpn [23:33] nope, dell core2 duo [23:33] desktop [23:33] hi guys, how can I install sun java virtual machine ---? === PC-Ente is now known as PC-Ente|Linux [23:33] dries_, hmm, so probably no sound card issue [23:33] Ghoti_: Oh, it is. Its just using the wrong card. Thats a lot simpler. Fail is me :/. [23:33] DasEi, intrepid partner? i am on 9.04 is it safe? [23:33] dries_, pulseaudio too right ? [23:34] zsquareplusc: is that hard to do? the tunneling [23:34] Bo7: i somtines use tightvnc as it has matching versions for win and lin. but it doesn't matter much [23:34] nope, the problem arose since last kernel update [23:34] c4pt: as safe as a beta can be, mine does fine [23:34] jup, using pulseaudio [23:34] DasEi, do i click revert? [23:34] DasEi, to enable? [23:34] dries_, mine possibly too but not sure though [23:34] Hi Guys, can someone give me an idea when 9.04 will be released? [23:34] DasEi, << scurred... [23:34] 23rd [23:34] in 5 days [23:34] cbwcjw: fun is having the Linux kernel see and prefer an onboard soundcard you thought you'd disabled in BIOS to the Audigy :) [23:34] !9.04 | thebloggu [23:34] thebloggu: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April 23rd - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [23:35] ah good stuff, thanks! [23:35] kinja-sheep, i think you mean roffle :P [23:35] Bo7: na, when you run an ssh server on you r linux box, you can use putty on the windows pc. it has a tab where you can set up port forwarding. finally you tell vncviewer to connect to localhost:1 (or whatever port number you forwarded) [23:35] Ghoti_: I have an audigy too... hahahaha.... Yea. [23:35] thebloggu: Disregard that. roffle --> See ^^ [23:35] zsquareplusc: ah, smart [23:35] c4pt: system > administration > software sources > third party [23:36] DasEi, << reloading [23:36] How do I allow MythTV permission to write to my second HD? do I edit in fstab? [23:36] can someone help me and dries_ ? i have a problem with sound in ubuntu 8.10. whenever i mute the sound and some sound plays (it doesn't because it is muted but..) i hear a lot of crackling. if no sound is played no crackling at all [23:36] Circles are being stretched and displayyed as ovals [23:36] c4pt: when done, go back to trml : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [23:36] anyone know how to make .mp3 files use a different player? [23:37] Skapare: with nautlis, select properties and go to the "open with..." tab [23:37] Skapare: sure, properties tab [23:37] right click the mp3, open with and choose player [23:37] DasEi: on each mp3? [23:37] I mean for every mp3 and other files too [23:38] Ghoti_ are you still here? [23:38] i am helping a child install ubuntu while on the phone, his screen says "initramff", is this what it should be? [23:38] Skapare: it asks for your general app per file-type, f.e. mp3 [23:38] like in viewer associations [23:38] DavidePalm: affirmative [23:38] OK, I'll go try that and see what it does [23:38] DasEi, ok finished [23:38] c4pt: when done, go back to trml : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [23:38] thebloggu, I can fix the problem if I do: $ killall pulseaudio [23:38] Ghoti_ can I ask you another question? How do I allow mythtv access to write to my second HD. Normally that requires sudo. [23:39] I recently installed 9.04, and my virtualbox with vista guest has been a bit unstable. is this a known problem? [23:39] dries_, really ? let me try [23:39] I'm running Xubuntu on VMWare (on XP). I can't seem to launch a simple X app, say, xterm. No matter what I set DISPLAY to. Any ideas? [23:39] DasEi, yeah finished... [23:39] and if I set everything in sound preferences to OSS [23:39] I have libflashplayer.so in /home/jinxi/.mozilla/pluggins [23:39] I'm not really the guy to ask, I've not set up MythTV in a dog's age.. you could ask in #mythtv perhaps [23:39] DavidePalm: own a dir to regular (myth-tv) user [23:39] DavidePalm: I'm not really the guy to ask, I've not set up MythTV in a dog's age.. you could ask in #mythtv perhaps [23:39] dries_, me too, definitely [23:39] thebloggu, and if I set everything in sound preferences to OSS [23:39] can i get some ipod/amarok help?? [23:39] and yet there is no flash support in firefox [23:39] Ghoti_ yeah non one answering in there [23:39] henryC: you expect it to connect to your xserver outside the VM? [23:39] DasEi how exactly? [23:40] DavidePalm: or do you need sudo to mount the extra hd ? [23:40] DavidePalm: dasei might be able to help you :) [23:40] zsquareplusc: I just want to run xterm (or any X app) inside ubuntu in vmware [23:40] DasEi yes I need sudo to mount the second HD [23:40] dries_, so it is a pulseaudio issue [23:40] DasEi Ghoti_ so I was thinking can I somehow add the user: mythtv to the fstab line? === Stealthcpe is now known as Stealthii [23:40] i'll try to seek help there [23:40] DavidePalm: then add it to fstab and use the options rw, user for it [23:41] dasei Ghoti_ just add user,mythtv [23:41] DasEi ah ok what's rw? [23:41] read write! [23:41] apparently [23:41] ok let me try [23:41] henryC: and you run the emulator with GUI, ok. did you install a desktop or server edition of ubuntu inside vmware? [23:41] read-write, DavidePalm [23:41] hi guys, how can I install sun java virtual machine ---? [23:41] !fstab [23:41] 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 [23:41] zsquareplusc: VMWare Workstation 6.5.1 [23:41] thebloggu, just keep it off for another 5 days, and then do the update to 9.04, it will probably be fixed by then [23:41] !java | epaphus [23:41] epaphus: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [23:42] I seem to fail at making the sound card I want the default. Can anybody help me? [23:42] zsquareplusc: What I really want to do ultimately is run Navicat via wine, but it seems I can't get DISPLAY set properly even to run xterm. [23:42] dries_, or maybe that too will help :P [23:42] Q: I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction here I am having the oddest problems with a Intel Pro/100 VM adapter and ubuntu 8.04, 8.10. [23:42] epaphus : or do you talk about vbox ? [23:42] hello everyone [23:43] Ghoti_: damm man you are loadit [23:43] do I need some firewall for a Linux server? is a software-firewall installed by default? or do I need a hardware one? [23:43] dzup: I am what? [23:43] just install firestarter [23:43] DavidePalm: edit your fstab and paste it, so I will have alook [23:43] DasEi, does this line look ok? /dev/sdb1 /media/storage ext3 user,auto,mythtv,rw [23:43] why doesnt ubuntu support ati rs200 340m driver [23:43] Bo7, it depends, do you know what a firewall does? Why would you need one? If you do need one the use firestarter. [23:43] Ghoti_: nice box [23:44] Davide: or so, delete mythtv in the options, add a auto [23:44] - Interface gets an ip address, and CAN ping the external would BY IP only... the /etc/resolv.conf file has the correct information (and should be noted works with ever other computer on the network both linux and windows computers) The PC is a compaq evo d500 with an Intel 82801DB PRO/100 VM (LOM) [23:44] cbwcjw: you probably want to configure pulse audio. also look at padevchooser applet [23:44] dzup: you're confusing me now. [23:44] Davide: sorry, there already (auto) and end with 0 0 [23:44] DasEi, so /dev/sdb1 /media/storage ext3 user,auto,rw 0 0 [23:44] yup [23:45] DasEi, :( i noticed this on 8.04 also....(right now when i just reinstalled cedega and re ran it...in system monitor two cores go to 100% and it just goes grey) [23:45] vocx: to defend for hackers? is a modem/gateway safe enough? [23:45] henryC: i was asking becuase you can run virtual machines "headless" or with virtual screen. if you have a virtual scrreen (usually the default) you would install the deskop version of ubuntu. do you have a graphical login or just text? [23:45] Davide: SAVE fstab, then sudo mount -a (for te last time), then try again [23:46] just tried DasEi still didnt work should I try a reboot? [23:46] Bo7, what can "hackers" as you call them, possibly do? A modem/gateway is safe enough. [23:46] hi guys i'm on a live cd and a bit of a pickle. trying to pull some files off my home partition, but it won't let me because i'm "not the owner" since i'm on a live cd. any advice? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:46] zsquareplus: I have the full graphical login. I can run all the ubuntu graphical apps. Firefox, anything. It's xubuntu. [23:46] Barridus: sudo is your friend; sudo mount the hard drive, then sudo cp the files to wherever you want to save the, [23:46] c4pt: for apps in wine, ask in #winehq, does the freeze only appear with that certain app ? [23:46] vocx, take over the machine (or is that just windows)? :) [23:46] Bo7, I would advise openBSD, I you want to be realy secure [23:46] zsquareplusc: But from a terminal app., I can't launch a simple xterm. [23:46] DasEi, I'm rebooting [23:46] would that windows had a sudo equivalent [23:47] DasEi, pretty much [23:47] Davide: no, check mount (no further options) to make sure it's mounted [23:47] zsquareplusc: I had a navicat for ubuntu but it was 30 days, just ran out. I'm hoping to run my thinstalled navicat via wine. But I think my first problem is just being able to run anything requiring X, if I'm understanding the problem rightly [23:47] Ghoti_: that may be a little complicated, as i need to copy it to a network resouce (windows share) and i'm not sure how to do that [23:47] do most Linux machines use a firewall would you say? [23:48] do they make drivers for when you use Ubuntu in Virtual machine? [23:48] Bo7, being paranoid about security is a common symptom of using Windows. But you need to understand how security works in Linux. Don't just throw firewalls and virus scanners there without knowing what their purpose is. [23:48] like video drivers that is [23:48] something: it's not as good as native, but works [23:48] henryC: i'm not yet understaning your exact situation. you have ubuntu in a VM. you want to run a wine program in there. and it should display on the virtual screen of the VM? [23:48] Barridus: places -> Connect to Server to connect to the Windows share for starters :) [23:49] Ghoti_: i did [23:49] hey, should I have any problems installing GTK2? I'm using ubuntu 8.10 [23:49] zsquareplusc: yes, exactly. [23:49] Barridus: and is the share connected now? [23:49] and I'm brand new to linux [23:49] Bo7, no most linux machines don't use strict firewalls. But the distributions carry a native firewall that essentially blocks ports that are not being used. You wouldn't notice. [23:49] zsquareplusc: Although, to simplify the problem, I thought I'd just try even running an xterm there. [23:49] hi to everybody! [23:49] what kinda hardware should i have to run nero vision converting divx to dvd in a virtual machine? [23:49] !hi | xzirrow [23:50] xzirrow: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:50] Ghoti_: yes it's been connected [23:50] Bo7: the linux kernel has a firewall built in, but it usually unconfigured. the security is that no services, accessible from the outside, run on a default install- [23:50] i have 2 ghz and 512 ram think that'll do? === deniz is now known as Guest48768 [23:50] zsquareplus: machine name is "chris-desktop". I've done export DISPLAY to all kinds of things: chris-desktop:0.0, 127.0.0.1:0.0, 192.168.1.5:0.0 ... no luck. [23:50] is there someone who familar with Synaptic Package Manager ? [23:50] Barridus: okay, at a terminal, type 'mount' - that will show a list of all mounted locations, from which you can find the path to the mounted windows share [23:50] fer: no, you know the exacr packet name? else use synaptic [23:50] Ghoti_: oh rats, i mispoke. wait a second. i said the reverse. i want to copy stuff FROM the samba to the home partion [23:50] now, once you start installing ssh and vnc and stuff, then you might want a firewall [23:50] vocx, well I'm just trying to host a webserver, I won't download any viruses or Trojans. is it safe without a FW just connected to the net [23:50] henryC: and in your VM, did you install the desktop version of ubuntu? i.e. you have the browinish user interface or a black text console? [23:50] Davide: is it mounted ? [23:50] Barridus: that's okay, sudo is still your friend :) [23:51] has any1 noticed remote desktop get buggy in 8.10 or is it a user specific issue im having? on a fresh install, remote desktop was perfect now ubuntu 8.10 is a bit slower internet wise and the remote desktop is not working at all and sometimes it almost works but blurs on my control screen does any1 know what i should do? [23:51] zsquareplusc: Hardware Drivers says "This driver is activated but not currently in use" for the ath5k [23:51] need help : how can i use regular expressions in Synaptic Search ? Is there a way ? [23:51] Ghoti_: i'll pastebin the mount output [23:51] Bo7, sure. maybe add a very strong password so it is not easily guessed. A password containing punctuation marks for instance. [23:51] do i need to do something to configure it or do i maybe just not have an ath5k chip? [23:51] Barridus: okeydoke [23:51] DasEi, yes its mounted [23:51] zsquareplusc: Well it's more like blue-black instead of brownish, but that's just because it's xubuntu. I installed it before I got familiar with regular ubuntu intrepid which I have since been using elsewhere. It's not much different that I can tell though. [23:51] DasEi, but I think mythtv still doesnt have access to it [23:51] DasEi, I'm getting the same error [23:52] Davide: did you restart mythtv ? [23:52] yeah I rebooted the system [23:52] !paste [23:52] 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) [23:52] fer, you don't need to install GTK+ 2.0 it's already installed. What are you trying to do? [23:52] hi [23:52] Gulopine: there are two kernel modules for the same chip. you may need to blacklist one, to make sure the other loads. [23:52] err, i've come across a interesting problem [23:52] Ghoti_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/153102/ [23:53] elli222: do tell [23:53] i'm assuming sda6? [23:53] zsquareplusc: I'm in a graphic UI desktop (xubuntu on vmware on XP). ... So I shouldn't need to apt-get install anything I wouldn't think. [23:53] henryC: ok. xubuntu is fine too. so it sounds like you have an xserver running inside the VM. so i'd expect lauching an xerm there should work. [23:53] sometimes, my hard disk is reffered to differently in /dev. Today, it is /dev/sda, but sometimes it is /dev/sdc... [23:53] vocx, so basically Ubuntu has a simple FW built in, no config needed to run a server app? [23:53] anyone installed google earth 5 from medibuntu repo? Couse It don't show photos but version from bin installer does [23:54] zsquareplusc: Me too, stumped. Always: "xterm Xt error: Can't open display: chris-desktop:0.0" [23:54] henryC: you talked about a console you use to tun the command. that a console inside the VM? or form the outside (i.e. ssh?) [23:54] elli222: That's a little odd... is it an external? [23:54] DasEi: that worked ... no idea why it didn't work in System > Preferences > Preferred Applications [23:54] zsquareplusc: That is the "Applications-->Terminal" app of ubuntu. [23:54] Barridus: I don't see the windows share being mounted, which is odd- is it currently on your desktop? [23:55] Bo7, nope. If you need it, you can customize such firewall with the frontend called "firestarter". [23:55] henryC: if its all inside the vm, try setting DISPLAY=:0 [23:55] Davide: did you configure a certain dir on mythv (on the additional hd9 ? [23:55] elli222: In any event, you can also refer to your drives by UUID (a number that uniquely identifies the partition, and does not change unless you reformat) [23:55] vocx, so when would I need it? [23:55] henryC: maybe you have a problem with the hostname. so that the name in DISPLAY isn't the real name of your (virtual) machine [23:55] zsquareplusc: That gives the same error except it precedes it with another error: "No protocol specified". [23:56] Bo7, when you are a real hacker, system administrator, who really needs to have control over all user's accounts and programs access, etcetera. [23:56] Got latest wine installed [23:56] cant seem to make spore install, have applied patch to make it run fine [23:56] henryC: with ctrl+alt+F1 you should get a textual console. can you log in there and check what "hostname" returns? is it the same name as you had in DISPLAY? [23:56] anyone running the Ubuntu Netbook Remix off a HP Mini 1000? [23:57] Just keeps asking me for data3.cab, which is not on my dvd. [23:57] ciao [23:57] Skapare: nice to hear, have music ! [23:57] is there a way to reload my audio drivers without rebooting ubuntu? randomly they just stop working? [23:57] hello. i am on 8.04 and am looking to update my kernel to 2.6.27 or greater. what is the easiest way of doing so? [23:57] Ghoti_: actually it had vanished although i still had the nautilus window open for it. ok it's remounted and on the desktop again. http://paste.ubuntu.com/153108/ [23:58] vocx, ah, well I only have 1 account, that I should always run in "user" mode not root right? [23:58] Bo7, correct [23:58] !list [23:58] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [23:58] * scunizi just started burning the 64 bit version of 9.04.. never tried 64bit.. always heard it was trouble. [23:58] homeskill:if you know the name, put it in /etc/modules === shawn is now known as Jerky [23:58] vocx, great! thx for the help man! [23:58] zsquareplusc: ctrl+alt+f1 did not get me there. I tried ctrl-alt-backspace and it sent me to the graphical "Username:" prompt. After 30 seconds, it brought me back in. [23:59] scunizi, yeah, somethings like java, video codecs, flash and stuff may not work. [23:59] DasEi how can i find the name [23:59] zsquareplusc: "uname -a" gives Linux chris-desktop 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 20:57:48 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [23:59] henryC: so you running a live cd inside the VM? [23:59] Besides OpenArena, Nexiuz, and Alien Arena, are there any other cool games I should know about for Ubuntu? [23:59] vocx: well... I have 400 gigs of unused space just waiting for an experiment..:) [23:59] zsquareplusc: I guess it was installed from an xubuntu liveCD. [23:59] Barridus: that outout was exactly the same. Interesting. I suppose you could copy the files from the Windows share onto your desktop, and from there to the local /home folder [23:59] henryC: because automaic login is not by default enabled otherwise [23:59] LargePrime, the recommended way is to update the distribution to 8.10 to get a new kernel. Otherwise you will have to compile it from source and create a deb package to install it.
