After installing ubuntu, and doing all updates, I added Medibuntu and installed skype. When I launch skype, the window for the EULA appears briefly then dissapears.

[00:08] Now :) [00:08] I just deleted the contents of tmp and my comp is acting very weirdly now [00:08] Thanks, only marked format this partition [00:09] It might be a good idea to disable screen-black out while you update distributions. I, personally, had to hard reboot near the end of the install because it disabled my keyboard and mouse and I didn't feel like waiting an hour or so "just to make sure". [00:09] Hello is there anyone here willing to show me how to compile source tar.gz file to make a deb package for my 8.10 install?This would be something I would really use if I learned how.

[00:15] how would i go about changing the sdl latency? [00:15] 11375, 8001 and 443 [00:15] maybe thats whats wrong with it.

[00:20] through mainly 8001 and 80 [00:20] Ben90: why [00:20] why what? [00:20] maybe do a nmap on your box to see if doors that shouldnt be open are open [00:20] mgolisch, nothing [00:20] (tom) [00:20] danaka: handbreak.fr [00:21] Ben90: why is a invalid page [00:21] tom netstat -l is a start but could show not all [00:21] thank you scunizi [00:21] danaka, +1 for handbrake [00:21] thats what it said when i went to it.

[00:22] Ben90: google with "zsnes choppy" [00:22] Ben90: first link [00:23] ok [00:23] simNX - I don't really understand what's going on in netstat -l [00:23] vxroot: maybe have a look at the dmesg commands output after plugin it in [00:23] do you think ubuntu would run smoothly on a laptop with a 1.3ghz processor and 256 mb ram? [00:23] tom; it shows ports on your box that are open for connections simply put [00:23] vxroot: probably it creates some /dev/ttyusbX device which you can use to access the modem [00:24] darkpixel? [00:24] mgolisch, hummm, i gonna see [00:24] simNX, ah okay, but how do I close those ports? i cant see the option on my firewall [00:24] tom if you have ports listening then you should have set them up - if ports open that shouldnt be thats worying [00:24] can you tell me where i can get the low-latency kernel patch? [00:24] DoubleDose: not ubuntu,but try xubuntu [00:25] vxroot: usualy you might want to look at the umtsmon program to use the umts modem [00:25] DoubleDose: i have athlon 1700+ 256 mb ram gf4 mx440 [00:25] i tried your idea and it won't work. [00:25] simNX: there are 3 dodgy looking ports open [00:25] DoubleDose: yes.. either use the alternate installer or the xubuntu installer [00:25] tom but aon a compriized box ports can be listening but nt show (be hidden) - a nmap from a remote box would show the open ports [00:25] okay thanks.

I think [00:44] kkll: I don't think so [00:44] oi a todos [00:44] hi all [00:45] It's intended for dualbooting windows but I'm sure I read that you could use it for linux also [00:45] bit_shift: there are Linux distros that are properly made for Mac, such as Yellowdog [00:45] algum brasileiro?

[00:47] kkll: well for a start open source and free software :) Ubuntu is not propritary [00:47] yes like linux [00:47] Anybody got any experience using linksys WLAN adapters on Ubuntu server? [00:47] kkll: truth - because it uses a BSD kernel [00:47] !freedom [00:47] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [00:47] sebsebseb:, yes, ubuntu on a mac g4 circa 2004 [00:47] You can compile most linux software on mac [00:47] kkll: I like linux over OSX. [00:47] Plus, one buys a Mac for OS X. [00:48] kkll: normalley yes, but you can dual boot [00:48] pspsampsp: I downloaded from the link you provided. [00:48] mathewedison: the ones i tryed only work with ndiswrapper [00:48] kkll: or use parralles or something to virtual machine Linux [00:48] I use Ubuntu on servers but for my home computer I use OS X :) [00:48] Has there been a fix yet for firefox crashing because of flash? [00:48] lets kill the os war guys, way offtopic for #Ubuntu [00:48] I don't know how to get the ndiswrapper from this computer to the server. I'm a complete linux newbie =( [00:49] !ot [00:49] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:49] I wasnt trying to start an argument sorry :) [00:49] kkll: some people will buy Macs for the hardware more so than the OS though, Mac hardware is meant to be quite a bit better than PC hardware after all. altough as some would say Mac's are just overpriced PC's with slightly differnet hardware [00:49] kkll: also, I find it mildly satifying to overcome Apple's crappy pricing scheme, and their proprietary driver obsession. [00:49] I just formatted my slave drive, and now I can't find it to mount. What do I need to do? [00:49] norty: flash and shockwave works fine in firefox. never crashed mine [00:50] norty: I haven't seen that problem. I just installed the suggested plugins and ran with it... sorry [00:50] hi can anyone help with hibernation in ubuntu [00:50] kkll: I have heard quite a few Mac OS X users, going Ubuntu, and then saying Ubuntu is better [00:50] mathewedison: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper [00:50] I'd bet there are far many more people who would disagree :) [00:50] I hate a lot of things about many Linux distros. [00:50] hello [00:50] I need someone to help me out a bit please! [00:50] kkll: agreed [00:50] The core issue being the awful UI [00:50] :D [00:51] darkvertex: I am running hardy heron and have the firefox that came with ubuntu whenever i try to watch a video on youtube or any other flash player my firefox crashes... i thought it was a well known bug [00:51] question: what would be a potential cause for slowness when a) opening minimized windows b) maximizing windows and c) restoring windows to a normal state? [00:51] Again I'm not trying to start an argument. I use Ubuntu for servers. [00:51] is there a linux app that lets me resize video easily? [00:51] kkll: I doubt it... [00:51] I used to use Ubuntu 8 but I uninstalled beacuse my USB optical mouse kept freezing [00:51] kkll: each OS has it's advantages and disadvantages, off topic now though [00:51] take it to #ubuntu-offtopic guys [00:51] I've upgrade to 9.04 but I can't get my X server up and running with the NVidia driver.

[00:52] norty: I'm also on Hardy. I watch youtube without a hitch. I used this guide a while back https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave [00:52] kkll: No, I would doubt that most people would prefer OSX to ubuntu. The transition from windows is a lot easier, and the OS isn't cloaked in secrecy like mac's. [00:52] I used this command to backup my system sudo tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/media/disk / I received this at the end of the backup tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors do I I have a good backup, how can I check? [00:52] Well I would highly disagree! [00:52] (Note: I don't have any problems when using a PS2 mouse, that works fine.) [00:52] I just don't want to buy another mouse just for using Ubuntu. [00:52] darkvertex: thanks ill try that [00:53] are there any "widgets" for ubuntu? [00:53] arkanabar: what kind of trackball u got? i'm thinking of getting a cordless logitech [00:53] As much as I prefer Ubuntu over OSX, I still believe OSX is easier and would be more perferred by the average person.

[00:54] norty: maybe you should upgrade firefox (patch or otherwise) as soon as it becomes abailable too [00:54] kkll: OS X may be better than Windows here and there, but like Windows it's propritary, it restricts peoples freedoms and locks people in. so open source and free software for the win :) read up about free software properly on http://www.gnu.org in the philosphey section. Ubuntu users you should know about the freedoms behind the software your using, so you should check out those articles as well [00:54] I like linux in general due to many of the concepts and the freedom. However, I spend more time fixing it than using it. [00:54] *available [00:54] !ot [00:54] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:55] I prefer Ubuntu, but not because it's necessarily better than OSX kkll. Anyway, I'm not going to talk anymore offtopic. [00:55] sebsebseb: truth - nothing beats open source [00:55] It does. [00:55] lol we're buggin the bot [00:55] Do you modify the source code of your linux distro? [00:55] Or do you just say open source is better because its open? [00:55] i think all operating systems haver there positives and negatives and it just depends on your needs [00:55] I say it's better because it allows developers to fix what they want. [00:55] To say all closed source software is inferior to open source just because its closed is ridiculous [00:55] stop this guys [00:55] This is a support channel, if you want to chat please join #ubuntu-offtopic [00:55] this is a interseting discussion let's take it to #ubuntu-offtopic now [00:56] I know that not because I do it myself, but because I know it happens.

[01:10] eseven73: clean ? [01:10] clean installs are best, macman [01:10] patapouf_: i do the same thing everytday [01:10] patapouf_: as soon as i upgraded boom i noticed performance [01:11] make a separate /home for now on [01:11] i think i should do a clean install of januty .. i have the iso [01:11] Id wait a few weeks till all the buggies are worked out of Jaunty [01:11] macman_: I experience some performance issue my self. it's was related to my ATI graphic card.

[01:14] patapouf_: dosen't top show cpu usage ? [01:16] hi [01:16] macman_: yep, you right, but I never find it use full to identify the root cause of a performance issue. it's just identify the process that use more cpu [01:16] macman_: jist, if you want to continue the discussion about Jaunty, join #ubuntu+1 plz [01:16] patapouf_: i was on 8.10 yesterday it was working fine .. i updated last night and now i see a big performance issue === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [01:16] yea im there already [01:17] i try to program my spybot (lego). it works fine using NQC, but i want to use MindScript to program my brick. do you know a way to install mindscript or something similar?

[01:51] When I went to test it it gave me an error [01:51] !of | elexodus [01:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about of [01:51] KING: by the way 9.04 is released this Thursday, so it's a bit pointless putting 8.10 on now [01:51] !ot | elexodus [01:51] elexodus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:51] <_some0ne> does ubuntu 8.10 live session have samba installed by default? will it see windows pc's by default? [01:51] this was the error [01:52] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [01:52] brb [01:52] Ben90: Weird. Sorry I'm out of ideas, wish I could help [01:52] Will 9.04 be easier to install? [01:52] KING: it will be the same to install [01:52] ben90:, what was the error again? [01:52] KING: depends why 8.10 isn't easy to install [01:52] _some0ne: Yes, as fas as I know. [01:52] i don't think it worked, GWK [01:52] far..* [01:52] KING: on the subject of install you can do the optional Ext4 file system in 9.04, instead of using the default Ext3 [01:52] <_some0ne> ok [01:53] http://www.scribd.com/full/14391061?access_key=key-qx3bsxx0wrncypuiwf4 <-- Full Circle Mag Ubuntu ( very very good ) ( Under reative Common ) [01:53] When I update to 9.04 will it automatically change the file system to ext4 or will I still have ext3 [01:53] LjL: Thanks for all your help!!! [01:53] If its the latter, how do I go to ext4? [01:53] Sheezy, it will not change [01:53] KING: probably uses the same installer, may have slightly better hardware support, alleged to boot faster. [01:53] GWKALROD, I don't think it worked. [01:53] Sheezy: it will keep it as Ext3 if it's an upgrade from 8.10, something can be done to Ext3 for partial Ext4 suppourt [01:53] redsnyper, you'll have to find someone who knows more about installing drivers for your wireless card then [01:53] Sheezy: ,but for proper Ext4 suppourt you would have to clean install [01:53] Ah [01:53] ok [01:54] Sheezy: and set up your partitions yourself by choosing Ext4, because Ext3 is the default [01:54] Wish it was plug n play like windows...:) [01:54] Okay [01:54] Given an ubuntu kernel source package, how can I generate *just* the -headers--generic deb? [01:54] Now, for the sound problem [01:54] Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? [01:54] red, it often is, but keep in mind your device was designed to be plug and play with windows [01:54] How do I start a Startup Application with sudo? [01:54] I think it's ALSA, because when I tried testing sound on ALSA it gave me this error: [01:54] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [01:54] I'm trying to backport the 2.6.28 packages from jaunty to intrepid [01:54] yeh [01:55] !sound [01:55] 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 [01:55] the -image .deb installs fine, but the -headers .deb depends on a more recent libc6 for some reason [01:55] Anyone else care to help me with gettingmy linksys router to work with UBUNTU? [01:55] I need help with a NotMountedByHal error.. can someone give me a hand? [01:56] redsnyper In what way is the router not working? [01:56] What's kubuntu? [01:56] his wireless card wasn't properly installed, but he left anyways [01:56] !kubuntu | KING [01:56] KING: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE === default is now known as bootui [01:56] !kde | KING [01:56] KING: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [01:56] ah [01:57] What does `uname -r` mean [01:57] Okay I did that sum thing and it said they're the same [01:57] Sheezy: type it in the terminal, and it will tell you what kernel you got [01:57] So it isnt a directory? [01:58] KING: ok [01:58] i've got frostwire 4.17.1 installed on a ubuntu 8.0.4 machine and the program doesn't shutdown properly. i'm forced to reboot it. anybody know why? [01:58] So, what does that eman? [01:58] *mean [01:58] All I want is a kernel headers package so I can compile the nvidia drivers. I don't know why it'd be architecture-specific. [01:58] KING: not much point putting 8.10 on now as I said, since 9.04 is out this Thursday [01:58] i also was wondering if frostwire for linux supports ipods [01:58] KING: try another iso, to make sure the problem isn't the image file [01:58] gwkalrod: well if the md5sum's matched the ISO should be fine [01:58] I have no other isos I think === eclipse_ is now known as ihavnoth [01:59] KING: try burning any file to the disk [01:59] sebsebseb: I don't think the new version will fix my problems [01:59] I'm tempted just to crack open the deb and change the libc6 dependency [01:59] Okay [01:59] KING: what are your problems? [01:59] It won't burn [01:59] Is there an Ubuntu way to manage Windows (Samba) shares? I know how to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf manually, but am wondering if there is a "user-friendly" way to share directories. [01:59] KING: you can virtaul machine 8.10 inside Windows, to try it, or use wubi [02:00] KING: might try getting Linux Mint 6 "Felicia" -- it's largely derived from Ubunty Ibex [02:00] Hm [02:00] The troubleshoot told me to enter this [02:00] sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic [02:00] in terminal [02:00] Sheezy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:00] It said it would INSTALL modules [02:00] It removed 3 [02:00] KING: not much point doing an actsaul hard disk installation of 8.10 now [02:00] ... [02:00] ... [02:00] !install | KING [02:01] KING: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [02:01] !wubi | KING [02:01] KING: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [02:01] Anyway, it removed three and thats all it did [02:01] i'd stick with 8.0.4 over 8.10 or 9.x [02:01] 8.0.4 is better supported [02:01] what is the command to update 7.10 to 8.10? [02:01] !upgrade > Envy (Envy, see the private message from ubottu) [02:01] bootui: not quite, ,but 8.10 gets security updates for longer yes [02:01] bootui: also has KDE3 available in the repo :) unlike 8.10 and 9.04 [02:01] sebsebseb you mean 8.04 gets security updates for longer [02:02] bootui: 9.04 will have support longer though [02:02] bootui: yes I meant 8.04 [02:02] Wubi looks like just what I need [02:02] gwkalrod: no it won't, since 9.04 is not a LTS [02:02] 9.04 isn't three years though [02:02] oh, really? i need to pay more attention [02:02] i'm sticking with 8.0.4 [02:02] KING: I woudn't normalley recommend wubi [02:02] Why? [02:02] *doesn't use ubuntu for support anyways* [02:03] KING: ,because it puts Ubuntu inside your Windows file system in a section, and so if your Windows is defragmented or goes wrong, then Ubuntu does as well [02:03] KING: if Windows is slow, then Ubuntu probably will be as well [02:03] i noticed 8.0.4 has kernel updates too.. so there isn't a problem with hardware either. and if something breaks i can just select an older kernel from the grub menu. [02:03] KING: also a virtual machine is cool, having it inside Windows, being able to use both at same time, but wubi is closer to a real proper install [02:03] anyone used blueman ? hows it work for you and is there a apt-get package I can get? [02:03] I can't get my laptop to run on battery power... It just turns off when I unplug it... I know the battery is good, cuz it's brand new... Is there a way to emulate the "ac unplug" event? [02:03] KING: and I would recommend installing 8.04 or 9.04 not 8.10 [02:04] Hmm, I think I might try virtual machine, I've done that before with miniXP [02:04] And if I recall I avoided burning [02:04] KING: 9.04 is released this Thursday [02:04] HI [02:04] sebsebseb: what's wrong with 8.10 ? [02:04] where can i get the default partition manager for ubuntu 8.10? [02:04] Okay, I'll get all the software ready for a virtual machine and wait til thursday [02:04] Neaai: it's pretty much pointless now, because it hardly has any differences from 8.04, and 9.04 is released this Thursday [02:05] Neaai: can't do the Ext4 file system in 8.10 also [02:05] sebsebseb: ah i see [02:05] BlackCoffee, gparted should be in the system menu. [02:05] ah it's gparted [02:05] Can anyone give me a link on installing Ubuntu as a virtual machine? [02:05] arkanabar: thanks [02:05] Also, thanks for helping, you guys [02:05] KING: nah, but I can tell you what to do [02:06] Okay [02:06] why is it that nm-applet only shows up in the first account on the box that logs in and not the others that log in at the same time? [02:06] quick question; i'm trying to copy web pages to /var/www [02:06] How much HDD space do I need? [02:06] KING: get Virtualbox first http://www.virtualbox.org [02:06] KING: not much [02:06] is ext4 backwards compatible with all ext3 stuff? [02:06] Okay, i have like 20 gigs free [02:06] KING: 1GB or 2GB [02:06] Hm [02:06] it keeps saying 'cp: cannot create regular file '/var/www/index.html': Permission denied' [02:06] Its still acting screwy [02:06] Okay, that's cool [02:06] i have to sudo it; how can i fix this? [02:06] does anyone know how to manually switch to battery power? [02:06] gwkalrod: uhmmmm that's now how file systems work [02:06] !experimental [02:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about experimental [02:06] Is there a way to paste commands into terminal? [02:07] !tesitng [02:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about tesitng [02:07] sheezy right-click paste [02:07] !fishing [02:07] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [02:07] gwkalrod: you can move stuff from an Ext3 to an Ext4 sure etc, find out more in #ubuntu+1 [02:07] i seem to have a problem with gparted,i can open it (sudo gparted) but i can't resize the partitions,the option is like grayed out [02:07] Oh shit, virtualbox says it's gonna take a while [02:07] What do I do after it downloads? [02:07] does anybody know if frostwire supports ipods on linux? [02:07] seb: eariler you said something about making ext3 compatible with ext4, which didn't make sense to me, which is why i asked, but ty [02:07] KING: install it [02:07] BlackCoffee: because they are in use most probably [02:08] hey guys, i'm trying to mount a corrupt external hard drive, but it tells me 'does not contain a valid partition table'. what can i do? [02:08] Okay, is it free? [02:08] sheezy: use shift+insert [02:08] gwkalrod: something can be done to Ext3, for partial Ext4 suppourt, but it's best to clean install for Ext4 [02:08] KING: yep [02:08] Sweet, what do I do after I've installed it? [02:08] mmm [02:08] KING: it's a nice easy to use graphical program [02:09] Okay [02:09] KING: rather straight forward [02:09] KING: oh that's a point how much RAM you got? [02:09] 768 shared graphics [02:09] I'm on a laptop [02:09] KING: 768MB RAM? [02:09] are there any acpi experts in the house? [02:09] Yeah [02:09] a 512 and a 256 [02:09] KING: yeah should be able to virtual machine with that, maybe be a bit slow though [02:10] My graphics absolutely sucks so I don't plan on running anything RAM heavy [02:10] I've reformatted my slave disk, and now I can't find it to mount it. What do I do? [02:10] I want to work on a bug. [02:10] It there an equivelent to ctrl-f for terminal? [02:10] KING: installer is rather straight forward, but when making the virtual hard disk, make sure it's dynamically expanding and put like 20GB as the size. the size is just what the VM thinks it has. so you could even put like 2TB which is an option in virtualbox, even though you won't have a 2TB hard disk [02:10] I'm trying to find something in a list on it [02:11] Okay [02:11] Gah, it still says 1 hour left [02:11] KING: in a way 8.04 would be pretty sweet to vm, because then you could install KDE3 from repo :) [02:11] Slow download [02:11] What's KDE? [02:11] !kde [02:11] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [02:11] Uh [02:11] arkanabar: sudo fdisk -l [02:12] arkanabar: see what you get [02:12] Little help here [02:12] Okay, how does that affect me, lol? [02:12] KING: never done Linux before? [02:12] No [02:12] Can someone please tell me? [02:12] KING: ok well then I am not even going to bother explaining about KDE now [02:13] Please? [02:13] so,how do i use gparted,do i have to boot the live cd in order to change/create/resize partitions? [02:13] Is it easier to install Linux while running Linux? [02:13] KING: altough I will say, basically KDE is a differnet graphical user interface, from what you get in Ubuntu [02:13] Sheezy, what? [02:13] Sheezy: pipe it into grep [02:13] BlackCoffee: yes [02:13] Okay [02:13] BlackCoffee: you just have to have the partitions unmounted. [02:13] Sheezy: Is grep what you're looking for? [02:13] How do I find a certain string in terminal [02:13] KING: Linux is about choice, there are loads of apps, for the same task [02:13] I'm trying to find something in a list [02:13] Neaai;aha [02:13] Sheezy: string in what? [02:13] i c [02:13] Sheezy: string where? in a file ? [02:13] sounds kinda risky [02:13] Can Linux blue screen? [02:13] In a list on terminal [02:14] Sheezy: IE: lspci | grep XXXXX [02:14] Like ctrl f in windows [02:14] KING: nope [02:14] BlackCoffee: so if you are resizing / you need to boot something else in the mena time [02:14] linux can crash, but it's crash screen isn't blue =D [02:14] when changing the background of menu bars to a color or a png, the icons of running programs then go transparent too and are unable to read until I activate the window or hover over them, is there a way to prevent this behaviour? I'm using compiz fusion & emerald [02:14] BlackCoffee: yeah you need to be on a Live CD such as the UBuntu CD that has Gparted, to resize partitions [02:14] gwkalrod [02:14] BlackCoffee: or figure out how to use commands to do partitions intead :d [02:14] mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist [02:14] hey everyone i'm having problems with musicbox not (ripping) the music from the CD anyone have some tips or help [02:14] BlackCoffee: not really. gpartted will work the same and that's what you want, not to work on mounted partitions [02:15] sebsebseb: that ain't gonna happen hehe,i'm a lazy reader [02:15] BlackCoffee: which partition are you trying to resize? [02:15] the main one [02:15] KING: Linux distros basically never crash, unless the hardware is failing, which is one reason why most of the Internet is hosted on computers running Linux [02:15] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d11bafb9 [02:15] ben90: paste into irc the command you send and get that error [02:15] i have to free space and create a partition for windows cp sp3 [02:15] Okay [02:15] BlackCoffee: yeah just boot to the install cd and resize. [02:15] ok,thanks guys,will do it now [02:16] Do I have to give the Virtual Machine some of my RAM, or will it automatically share it? [02:16] sheezy ctrl-f probably won't work, but if the command that generated the list is and you want to find a linde of text including then | grep might help you [02:16] KING: just use the default for the virtual memory [02:16] Okay [02:16] gwkalrod [02:16] go to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d11bafb9 [02:16] It wont let me enter commands, its a list produced by "lspci -v | less" [02:16] KING: and I already mentioned the thing that you should know about [02:17] That 20gb thing? [02:17] KING: regarding the virtual hard disk yeah [02:17] sheezy replace with [02:17] KING: yeah that and dynamically expanding which it should be by default [02:17] Sheezy: lspci -v | grep yourwordhere [02:17] Sheezy: instead of piping it into less, pipe it into grep [02:17] Should I run 8.04 on my VM or wait til 9.04? [02:18] KING: try 8.10 in a vm, and do 8.04 as well, and install KDE3 into that vm :) [02:18] Didnt work [02:18] lspci -v | grep XXXX [02:18] Okay [02:18] KING: then you can put 9.04 on for real [02:18] KING: once it's been released [02:18] Sheezy: where xxxx is what you are looking for [02:18] sheezay You could also try typing"/thingyou'relookingfor" in less [02:18] Will it be easier to install Ubuntu if I'm doing it off my Ubuntu VM? [02:19] Well, lspci -v | less returns all things it recognizes is connected to the motherboard [02:19] Like, with software and all [02:19] and i'm trying to find the sound device [02:19] KING: to install Ubuntu onto the computer for real, you need a working Live CD really, but there are other ways it can be installed as well === poseidon is now known as cs_student [02:19] Maybe I'll just end up ordering one, or asking around for a friend's one [02:19] Sheezy: lspci -v | grep sound [02:19] Sheezy: that might work [02:19] ben90: your trying to mount sdc1, correct? what command did you use [02:20] Lex [02:20] I tried it [02:20] nothing [02:20] 1 sec.

[02:29] Neaai, thanks [02:29] I think its a problem with ALSA i'm having since when my sound quits and I have it test sound on ALSA it gives me an error [02:30] Sheezy: by those commands, so far i'd say you don't have a sound card at all. lshw normally does a listing of the hardware [02:30] I do have a sound card, its just evidently it isnt recognizing the soundcard [02:30] Usually the error would indicate that it isn't quite working right. [02:31] can i write files through terminal to a samba share? [02:31] ben90: i'm stumped [02:31] anyone familiar with Xlib programming here? [02:31] sheezy: what sound card? [02:32] Anybody who can help me with rt74 drivers and ndiswapper to get my linksys wlan aparter working on ubuntu server? [02:32] I forget the name, It's either integrated with my motherboard or its using my graphics card as it [02:32] I know the drivers are c-media something [02:32] Sheezy: lspci will hsow you [02:32] well i also tried putting it in /etc/fstab [02:32] That's the problem guys, it isnt recognizing it's there [02:32] sheezy: did you get linux drivers for it? [02:33] Sheezy: crystal media probably ac97 chipset but it should b eshowing in lspci [02:33] brutus: for such programming it's useful to be in #linux and #debian and #xorg and what else you think related to Xlib [02:33] !sound > Sheezy [02:33] Sheezy, please see my private message [02:33] can i write files through terminal to a samba share? [02:33] !who | Ben90 [02:33] Ben90: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:33] ALSA seems to be working [02:34] eya guys, who can help me with rt74 drivers and ndiswapper to get my linksys wlan aparter working on ubuntu server? [02:34] dying_hdd: you can send them through ssh also if you want [02:34] correction rt73 drivers* [02:34] how to install jar file? [02:34] dying_hdd: there is smbclient which is like an ftp type app fro smb shares [02:35] Well [02:35] I'm going to see how things go [02:35] If my sound randomly quits again, I'll say [02:35] I may of resolved it, i duno [02:36] Sheezy: does it happen when you do any playback or say, flash playback? or youtube ? [02:36] Sheezy: areyou running jaunty? [02:37] I'm running intreped [02:37] Is there nobody who knows how to use rt73 drivers to get a wlan linksys adpater working on ubuntu server? :( [02:37] And it happens after some time [02:37] Anyway, I need to reboot pidgin [02:37] er [02:37] restart [02:38] Ok I'm off, I hope I get better luck tomorrow =( [02:38] Can someone help me with setting my resolution? xrandr gives me errors and my system doesn't use the settings found in my xorg.conf, which is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/153750/ [02:38] Hmm [02:39] Just installed gnome-dockbar from a deb file how do I run it [02:40] mrMister83: some rumours say that ubuntu has a different way for x and resolution than what is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Or extends/overrides it, not sure [02:40] deepinside: you can also mount samba shares [02:40] Sheezy: are you running jaunty? [02:41] No [02:41] oh for christs sake [02:41] I think I found the root of the problem [02:41] mythman: try hitting alt + F2 and typing in gnome-dockbar or you can hunt around in the applications menus [02:42] Kino may be the root of the problem [02:42] it just crashed while playing a sound file and now its stuck looping it [02:43] what are the odds I could get an x-fi working under ubuntu? [02:43] so I guess when the sound quit [02:43] it was actually it just looping silence [02:43] anyone here used ddrescue? [02:43] Sheezy: something similar happens to me with flash media. I know it's a plugin thing for flash video [02:44] gwkalrod: what x-fi ? [02:44] what is* [02:44] neaai: fatality [02:44] I need to restart [02:44] is ubuntu i386 36bit by default or do i have to add PAE options to the kernel somehow? [02:44] brb [02:44] hi [02:44] c4pt: it's 32-bit [02:45] gwkalrod: not bad odds [02:45] lstarnes, so how do i added PAE to the kernel? [02:45] but your mileage may vary [02:45] dying_hdd, cool, i'll try then [02:45] i'd recommend the alsa way [02:45] and what is fatality? lol [02:45] c4pt: I'm not sure [02:45] though it will probably require you to .. recompile the kernel [02:45] unless things have changed === BigMike is now known as pupuserdingo === ml is now known as michel [02:46] this is as of a year ago [02:46] c4pt: it may be better to use the amd64 version of ubuntu === michel is now known as ml [02:46] anyone here used dd_rescue? [02:47] c4pt: pae is not built in you'd have to recompile I believe. Server kernel has pae I believe. [02:47] anyone know how to get the terminal service client to stop trying to pop back up again when closing the window? [02:47] has anyone ever tried ssh tunnelling MySQL with 1and1 webhost? I know that ssh tunnelling is possible when the MySQL server is on the remote machine but how can u make another forward when the MySQL server is accessible only in the remote's host network (through private DNS) [02:47] histo, oh ok [02:48] Well [02:48] Thanks for the help guys [02:48] has anyone here tried to rescue data from a corrupt hdd thru Ubuntu? [02:48] I figured out what it was, though [02:48] just kino being screwy [02:49] Hm, I tried using noacpi but the install is still freezing up. It's saying things like "Buffer I/O error on sr0" and "Buffer I/O error on sda1" [02:49] i know sda is the HDD, but what's sr? [02:49] dying_hdd: i have but quite a while ago [02:49] So is there any way to cancel all sounds that are going? [02:49] in case this happens again? [02:50] dying_hdd: tried dd_rescue and got what i could with it, tried other stuff too and got what I could with those too [02:50] Neaai: i'm currently copying the disc image of the corrupt HDD to a spare HDD but this seems to be taking forever. will something bad happen if i just reboot now (without stopping it..) [02:50] i'm using dd_rescue right now as well [02:50] dying_hdd: you have that hd mounted ? [02:50] no [02:51] it doesn't mount [02:51] dying_hdd: try killing the process [02:51] i'm using dd_rescue to create a disc image [02:51] ok [02:51] Schiz0|SD, cd rom [02:52] Schiz0|SD, youve got cd or cd rom problems, you test the media? [02:52] Okay, I have a problem in that my wlan card does not seem to be working in 8.10: No wireless networks show from the network manager options and when I manually input the network information via "Connect to Hidden wireless network" nothing happens either. Any ideas for assistance? [02:53] smil3y: It's the official CD that Ubuntu sent me for free [02:53] dying_hdd: there's this cd which boots off and has a lot of utils in it. many hd related software. it's called hiren bootcd [02:53] I didn't burn it [02:53] I'll try downloading the alt CD and burning it myself [02:53] dying_hdd: search the web for it and get the iso. it might help you a lot === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log === Igorot is now known as Knightlust [02:54] Schiz0|SD, well if you check it and it has no errors/fingerprints/scratches then your cd drive is [02:54] Schiz0|SD, bad maybe [02:55] How do i run Desklets?

Should I go ubuntu desktop and add LAMP, or Ubuntu server and add a GUI? [03:00] Railer: Install desktop. Much easier [03:00] its a Linksys Wireless-G PCI Network Adapter with SpeedBooster [03:00] hello can Anyone recomend me a itunes music server to run ubuntu server?? [03:00] Install Server. Much lighter. [03:01] alek66: mt-daapd [03:01] greg_: what chipset is it ? [03:01] tritium: [03:01] tritium: in thier web paged thay say that is a beta [03:01] how do i tell? [03:01] ok I thought that, then I can install the LAMP I want, and it's a pretty solid system so the lightness is not that important [03:01] so ubuntu i386 server has highmem support? what exactly is the ram limit on ubuntu server i386? [03:01] tritium: do you use it?¿ i have some doubs [03:02] doubts [03:02] 64 bit dual core, 4G ram [03:02] alek66: I have used it. It is quite nice. [03:02] ??

Once installed, read the docs in /usr/share/doc/mt-daapd. There is a config file under /etc you'll want to edit, as well, to suit your needs. [03:04] what should i do once i know what chip set i have, because i cant boot ubuntu atm [03:04] so ubuntu i386 server has highmem support? what exactly is the ram limit on ubuntu server i386? ?? [03:04] tritium does it work using a web interface? can i use it in any OS? I dont understand why does it appear as "coming soon" for mac [03:05] i replaced my memory recently after experiencing random crashes (and running memtest), but i had upgraded to 9.04 RC just before the replacement [03:05] should i be worried about a messed up system now [03:05] tritium: Support for Mac OSX (coming soon!) [03:05] and can i do any kind of global package rebuild to ensure system integrity [03:05] alek66: I don't know about the Mac OS version. === InternetExploder is now known as MSOffice [03:06] tritium: i want to run it under linux and use it with mac [03:06] alek66: ok === MSOffice is now known as Unknown_Exceptio [03:07] Unknown_Exceptio: please stop the nick-changing spam [03:08] greg_: find the chipset and then do some searching around the net or come here to ask. my wifi is an atheros for eg, there is a driver in ubuntu for it but for some reason doesn't work. === Unknown_Exceptio is now known as BSOD [03:08] greg_: i had to get another driver, compile it, and use that one instead [03:08] alright, thanks [03:08] greg_: that's what im using now :) [03:09] tritium: i will try and then post some results [03:09] another question go 8.04 vs 8.10? [03:09] 8.04 [03:10] why more stable? [03:10] yes [03:10] LTS [03:10] ok [03:11] and one more question it has Desktop/Server/Alternate whats Alternate? [03:12] hey [03:12] how do i make ubuntu auto find the wireless connections around [03:12] that are avaible [03:13] anyone? [03:14] reefer: I'm using Kubuntu, but I found that networkmanager in either system is a piece of crap. I recommend wicd instead. Much quicker, more responsive, not a useless piece of slow, flakey abandonware. [03:15] Hi. Im using the latest Ubuntu & Firefox. I tried watching "Lost" via hulu and abc.com. It told me I need firefox for windows. Manipulating my useragent string only got me a blank screen. The ABC site said they use "movie media" plugin. Is there anyway I can ubuntu & firefox work around that [03:16] hi everyone [03:16] so ubuntu i386 server has highmem support? what exactly is the ram limit on ubuntu server i386? ??

[03:23] Hey guys. whats the command to update from command line agian? [03:23] upgrade you mean ? [03:24] Yes sorry [03:24] To check for and download the latest security updates, etc. [03:24] oh [03:24] sudo apt-get update [03:25] will check for updates [03:25] Ah I thought it was that. [03:25] anyone know if theres a way to stream justin.tv or ustream through vlc or something else? [03:25] and sudo apt-get upgrade [03:25] That will download security updates and stuff? [03:25] will install them [03:25] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [03:25] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [03:25] And it won't upgrade me from 8 04 ? [03:26] c4pt: 4G [03:26] Neaai, only 4gb? [03:26] apt-get upgrade will not upgrade my ubuntu installation? [03:27] to 8.10 or 9.04? [03:27] c4pt: you'd need the bigmem kernel for managing more [03:27] i dont think so kkll [03:27] Neaai, what is the ram limit on bigmem kernel? [03:27] it would ask you before doing it anyway [03:28] Can anybody confirm this? [03:29] theres a different command to upgrade distro [03:29] how can I change from the ver of open office that comes with Ubuntu to the new (3.0?) version? [03:29] mkasson: a ppa, but 9.04 is out this Thursday, and that has 3.0 by default [03:30] ive seen some tutorials if you use google [03:30] mkasson: of course for full suppourt for the optional Ext4 file system you need to clean install. Ext3 is default [03:30] sebsebseb, normal release of 9.04? or RC/beta/etc? [03:30] mkasson: yes the final release of 9.04 [03:30] wow cool [03:30] mkasson: ,but the thing I just said regarding Ext4 [03:31] hmmm, I don't think I mind scraping the whole sys [03:31] mkasson: yeah and then you got to set up your partitions manualley and do Ext4 [03:31] mkasson: since guided would just put on Ext3's [03:31] though I am reminded of a program/script I had suggested maybe a year or so ago on launchpad... [03:33] it was a prog to help people save all the (relevant) files in /etc, /etc/samba, etc, then allow install, then put all the files back [03:33] very much inspired by something I had seen in Damn Small Linux [03:33] mkasson: oh right, well it's not exaclty hard to install stuff again [03:33] byeee [03:33] not hard to do but you have to remember to grab everything [03:33] cronjobs, etc [03:34] user/group numbers [03:34] I find it to be a lot of work sometimes [03:34] mkasson: dpkg -l to see what you got installed [03:34] hi [03:34] khange: hi [03:34] how areyou [03:34] mkasson: you can easy backup all settings with rsync [03:34] its not the progs. thats only a little. its all the little text files/scripts around [03:35] mkasson: just copy it over? [03:35] I'm thinking I will just stop using sessions and instead have sessions point to a sort of config file of my own that starts things. And I can control the order that they run and when they run with sleep. Can anyone see any problems with this? [03:35] So I made a bash script and run it from Sessions but it doesnt run some of the programs. It runs the terminal and then a window and then nothing else [03:35] oops pressed up === Sadza is now known as Sadza_ [03:35] of course, but this was to list, save and restore all that "stuff" [03:35] Anyways, here is the script http://pastebin.com/d30e0aabe === Sadza_ is now known as Sadza [03:36] you cant just copy "/etc" [03:42] hey [03:43] i just got classic shell scripting, is that a good beginning book on bash [03:45] h8red: google for "advanced bash scripting guide" - it useful for beginner and for expireinced [03:45] is the one i have now good [03:45] or should i take it back [03:45] that seemed to be the best thing the store had [03:46] igorsh: that is in the repos (abs-guide) [03:46] !info abs-guide [03:46] abs-guide (source: abs-guide): The Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.1-1 (intrepid), package size 1074 kB, installed size 4332 kB [03:46] h8red: the store? "advanced bash scripting guide" is free [03:46] h8red: sudo apt-get install abs-guide [03:46] i'm talking about the book i just got [03:46] hello [03:47] oh, it is in repos. cool. [03:47] No need to even google it. [03:47] hey folks [03:47] is there a simple way to install a deb package yet push in some configure strings? [03:47] i have an emergency and i need to capture the memory from firefox right now [03:48] firefox is crashing and i need to recover a wav file it is storing in memory [03:48] firefox is using 106% of memory [03:48] bad_cables, check /tmp [03:48] if i already have vista, shoul di still upgrade to win 7 ? [03:49] exodus_ms, what do i look for? [03:49] MyName: are you sure that it is right questions on #ubuntu? [03:49] bad_cables, are you streaming the wav file in firefox [03:49] Igneous, yes i am sure [03:49] well i was using the hobnox audiotool [03:49] unfortunately, they didnt do a good job of their save function [03:49] I recently installed KDE 4. I didn't like it, so I uninstall it. Now when ubuntu boots up, it goes straight to command line. I need to login in and type "gdm" How do I make it so that it just starts like it used to by booting into the Login Window Manager? [03:50] it is supposed to encode to ogg then upload but sometimes it is broken [03:50] so i was recording it to another laptop [03:50] but it crashed during playback [03:50] !enter | bad_cables [03:50] bad_cables: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:50] how do i set ACLOCAL_FLAGS when running a autogen.sh file? [03:50] MyName: ask in ##windows please. You are offtopic here. [03:50] hi newb question here, i'm trying to install nginx ... so i'm typing sudo dpkg nginx_* but i get this and i don't know what it means: dpkg: need an action option [03:50] ok i installed it [03:51] abs-guide [03:51] SgtNezzie: dpkg -i [03:51] thanks [03:51] SgtNezzie: dpkg -i name_of_packet - it will be so [03:51] how do i set ACLOCAL_FLAGS when running a autogen.sh file? [03:52] so this is my frist time using ubuntu, am i correct in understanding no root? [03:52] I just installed advanced bash scripting guide, how do i view it? [03:52] there's only 25k in /tmp... where else would firefox/flash10 store a huge audio file? [03:52] !noroot | SgtNezzie [03:52] SgtNezzie: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [03:52] prikolchik: please don't repeat every minute. [03:52] !root | SgtNezzie [03:52] SgtNezzie: 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 [03:52] SgtNezzie: there is a root but is is locked. You can use sudo to run programs as root [03:53] okay, can any user sudo? [03:53] tritium: as im understanding this should be a simple question? [03:53] SgtNezzie: no only those in the admin/root group [03:53] SgtNezzie: only users in the admin group by default [03:53] SgtNezzie: no, only those in the admin group, which includes the first user account created. [03:53] where does firefox store its temp files? [03:53] okay cool thanks [03:54] SgtNezzie: you can write in /etc/sudoers a permissions for using sudo for any user and any single program [03:54] i'm with a problem with VNC. when i connect to the server, it shows a window, but empty. i can't do a thing with... how can a do gnome-session work? [03:54] bad_cables -> ever looked in ~/.mozilla/ [03:55] igorsh: no, the proper method is to add users to the admin group. /etc/sudoers is never edited manually. [03:55] Even if you want to edit /etc/sudoers, you use visudo. [03:56] tritium: you are wrong. editing /etc/sudoers is a right way and adding user in admin group is just a following preinstalled settings [03:56] anyone know how to get linux to mount a flash drive on boot [03:56] igorsh: no, that is incorrect. [03:57] jdsandeson: just insert it and it should automount? [03:57] yes it dose once the machien is up [03:57] i need it to be pluged in all the time [03:57] igorsh -> what tritium meant is use the correct tool like visudo to edit it not directly with vim [03:58] hey. can anyone help me setting up my intel easy pc webcam? [03:58] n8tuser: no, I also meant that the proper way to add sudo priveleges in ubuntu is to add them to the amdin group. [03:58] n8tuser: i think that he mean not to edit that file at all [03:58] jdsandeson: er... u mean it doesnt mount if u plugin a flash drive when computer off and then turn on pc and it doesnt mount? [03:58] yes [03:58] igorsh: yes, there is no need to edit that file for granting sudo priveleges. [03:59] tritium -> but not all sduo commands require admin priviledges, so it doesnt mean everyone has to be a member of admin to use sudo [03:59] no, nothing in /.mozilla [03:59] it is there but un mounted [03:59] tritium: if I add user to admin group, he can run every command with root privileges [03:59] igorsh: incorrect [03:59] this machien is going to be an embeded device [03:59] !sudo | igorsh -- Please read this: [03:59] igorsh -- Please read this:: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [03:59] and with manual edit I can grant privileges only to run some programs [04:00] igorsh -> i dont know what you meant by manual editing, but you use a tool like visudo not vim directly [04:00] jdsandeson: try googling for "mount flash drive boot". I personally do not know [04:00] yup provably a library trip [04:01] where would a flash10 page save a temp audio file in your system???

[04:11] whats up dude? [04:11] tofu_logic: sky [04:12] victorhugo_: two ubuntu machines ? [04:12] yes [04:12] DasEi, yes [04:13] victorhugo_: you set up the server on the on the one, know the portnumber and the password ? [04:13] Has any one else had trouble getting the ipod touch 2g to work with rhythm box? Ubuntu keeps seeing it as a camera [04:14] DasEi: Yes... The connection can be stabilished. But the window the appears does not show anything. [04:14] victorhugo_: you can ping the other's host, no firewall is installed ? [04:15] DasEi: let me try... [04:16] DasEi: Yes, no firewall... [04:16] Technoviking, ping [04:17] victorhugo_: are the two pc's in the same network segment ? [04:17] DasEi: No, they aren't. [04:18] victorhugo_: so that might be your problem [04:20] DasEi: The problem is that i cannot see anything in the window that open in my computer. I guess it's happening because i have made changes in the config file to show the gnome-sessio. not only the terminal... [04:20] DasEi: but i don't know how to fix it. =/ [04:20] victorhugo_: what are the ip's of the two pc's to connect [04:20] DasEi: oh! i remember [04:20] ifconfig..

[04:23] -Using the command line? [04:23] !mount [04:23] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [04:24] !fstab [04:24] 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 [04:24] Well...I'm using Fluxbox, but in order to access my windows partition I have to log off and log into Gnome, and I don't want to do that [04:24] Is there a way to mount a USB device with a command? [04:24] How to configure that use cairo to render a transparent window (I have support xgl ),i can use it in Gnome, but in xterm ,my window isn`t a transparent . gtk.window.cairo_create() need Aiglx or Compiz ? [04:24] DasEi: i guess that they are, because i can do a ssh connection - which not shows a X window in my computer too. [04:25] Artelus: yes, but you need ntfs support installed on that machine (if it isn't fat or else) [04:25] daftykins: yeah maybe we talked about it in #ubuntu-uk [04:25] My windows partition is NFTS [04:26] I can mount automacally, using GNOME, but Fluxbox doesn't do it [04:26] Artelus, sudo ntfs-3g /dev/[windows partition] /mountpoint [04:26] foxbuntu: yes [04:26] hi how do I install the sun java plugin for firefox in a 64bit environment?

[04:28] I have SDA1 through 6 [04:28] usser, any way I can use Sun's? or they do not have a 64bit plugin? [04:29] Artelus, cameras are tricky some of them are not mass storage device and you cant mount them [04:29] Artelus: just open the partition from /mnt or /media ??? [04:29] Hi All. I'm currently having some hardware trouble with some apple bluetooth devices on startup. Doesn't seem to be documented online. [04:29] My camera mounts by itself on Gnome [04:29] In previous versions of ubuntu, clicking on my mouse would connect it automatically on startup, and same with the keyboard. [04:29] Artelus: or computer [04:29] alesan, sun doesnt have 64 bit plugin thats correct [04:29] Artelus: uh yeah camera not partitions [04:29] There's nothing in /media, just cd drives [04:29] victorhugo_: ? so they can see each other, you start the server on one side from terminal, then what comes up ? [04:29] -.- forget it then...i'll log into gnome to retreive my files [04:30] I'm currently running 9.04 and it seems that if I click on the mouse, it won't work. If I then click on the keyboard it will work and vice versa. [04:30] Artelus, use something like digikam or fspot on gnome to get access to a camera [04:30] I just moved to a new ISP (we're on ASDL). The Windows machines run fine on the home network but my xubuntu machine "locks up" (keyboard will not do anything/mouse no good) *only* after I leave the machine idle for around 15- 30 minutes. Is this more of a network issue? Is there anything that Xbuntu might not "like" about an ASDL connection? This is a weird problem. I just don't uderstand why something like that would happen. [04:30] RishiRamraj: well you got 9.04 early, so #ubuntu+1 for help [04:30] sebsebseb: will do :) [04:30] usser: Gnome auto detects AND connects to the camera [04:30] hey, new at this, i'm trying to install a .tar.gz file [04:31] any help? [04:31] usser: It just doesn't work while I'm on another program, like Fluxbox or XFCE [04:31] how would one go about programming the power button to run a script when pressed ? i have tried editing /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn.

[04:32] DasEi: e.g., i can do a ssh connection with these computers [04:32] it worked on 8.10 [04:33] DasEi: Yes, i can't [04:33] victorhugo_: can you log in to the remote machine with the password / portnumber ? [04:33] chaqui: Yes but ati has stopped supporting it since for the new kernel [04:33] shiznebit -> would rtcwake -u -t $t -m on & create the powerbutton event?

Who has a couple of minutes to help me? :-) [04:35] DasEi: Yes, I am. The problem is that i cant see the remote desktop... =/ [04:35] nevermind i right clicked and went unmaximize and maximized again and its fixed i might report the bug on launchpad tho [04:35] victorhugo_: have you set up port fowarding [04:35] ?

[04:38] n8tuser: yes i do that, but its not being respected [04:38] spanish [04:38] is there nlite equivalent app for ubuntu? [04:38] victorhugo_: k, it's most probably to be configured on the server-side what the guest is allowed; I tried super vnc which is faster and offers better performance, also there is rdesktop which is easy to configure graphically or tightvnc, which as I saw yesterday works out of the box [04:38] shiznebit -> would rtcwake -u -t $t -m on & create the powerbutton event? <-- answer this [04:38] DasEi: Ubuntu...

Who has a couple of minutes to help me? :-) [04:40] I am conected to the channel via two computers at the minute [04:40] victorhugo_: grdc is very easy to configure > apt, checking supervnc now.. [04:40] chaqui: yes, I went to 9.04 it didn't work with my ATI drivers either, though I had an older video card than yours...shiznebit is *definitely* right about that. 8.10 will fix it [04:40] Voort: what issues are you having updating? [04:40] remove unwanted components from xp setup cd and rebuild custom xp cd [04:41] histo, it appears to be DNS resolution stuff [04:41] Mal3ko: use apt or synaptic to remove what you want. As far as building a custom cd though? There are howtos in the forums and online but not here. [04:41] Voort: are you getting any errors specifically? And what does your resolv.conf look like? [04:41] Mal3ko: that may or may not work depending upon which commponents you remove [04:41] victorhugo_ -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC atutorial on vnc setup [04:42] histo, here is what most of my errors look like "W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-security/multiverse/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2 Could not resolve 'security.ubuntu.com' " [04:42] i intend to make my ubuntu setup as lite as possible [04:42] histo: I dont see it in the list of supported wedcams [04:42] Voort: can you pastebin your resolv.conf [04:42] Even my previous once was not, but it worked [04:42] DasEi: thank you... i'll search for it. n8tuser, thank you too [04:43] Mal3ko: The community at linuxquestions.org might be a ggod pool to swim in as far as answers [04:43] Mal3ko: there is the http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [04:43] Mal3ko: that is a the ubuntu customization kit [04:43] is there an IRC channel for development of ubuntu like bug discussion and who does what? [04:43] thanks. will check that out [04:43] is there any way to dump the entire contents of ram to a file? [04:43] KyleK: yep #ubuntu-bugs [04:43] bad_cables -> would that make sense from security standpoint? [04:44] you know, you guy's security stuff is starting to interfere with my audio stuff [04:45] vignesh: maybe try searching the forums at www.ubuntuforums.org to see if anyone else has had experience with your particular camera. Or perhaps someone in here will know. [04:45] hello. can i ask a small question? [04:45] security sucks. some guy like you just come along and hacks my stuff anyways [04:45] how do i revert a version of ubuntu, i got jaunty early, and have sound issues. Getting no help w/ them, so i want to go back to intrepid [04:45] Has any one had any sucess getting The prepologic A Plus Depot Technichian practice test software working under wine or Xove office? [04:45] how can I display the output of a file, lines 5 and above and exclude the first 4 [04:46] hey guys, I followed instructions on how to add private key files with ssh and everything worked fine except that now it asks me for both the passphrase and the password... Every tutorials I read told that only the passphrase would be asked, do I have to turn off password prompt or something within my ssh server on the remote machine? [04:46] well i know 8.10 will fix it, but the pulse audio fixes for 9.04 are awesome id rather roll the kernal back to one that worked, i can't believe ati dropped support on a chipset that was sold to me within two years. i guess ati can't control that but its still not cool. [04:47] Hello. I am using 8.04 with a laptop that has an AMD RADEON X300 video card. Certain video was not working properly (Google Earth and similar for example), so I did some research and found that there is a proprietary driver released March 2009. I intend to install this, but am confused by the instructions. They say "The following packages must be installed in order for the CatalystTM Linux driver to install and work proper [04:47] ly: XFree86-Mesa-libGL, libstdc++, libgcc, XFree86-libs, fontconfig, freetype, zlib, gcc. Where do i get these things and how do Install them? I am new at this. [04:47] sorry , i was just here, and still need help on why my other internal hard drive doesnt show up anymore under media folder [04:47] chaqui: i agree. [04:48] hallo [04:48] ratius -> you may have missed the part about agents, re-read the tutorials please [04:48] i just now installed xubuntu and i have all my music, movies, etc on this other hard drive and then the system had to reboot and now it is not showing up [04:48] chaqui: Unfotuneatly the economy may have had some effect on the life span of the chipset you m ention [04:48] jon5000: did you try installing it automatically? i.e. let ubuntu install? [04:48] histo, no go. same error [04:48] Voort: something else is going on then. What is the exact error you get. [04:48] Can someone tell me what I'd need to type in terminal to change my refresh rate and resolution using the Nvidia X Server settings? [04:48] chaqui, does radeonhd work for you? [04:48] jon5000: u there? [04:48] Voort: and can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [04:49] !pastebinit | Voort [04:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebinit [04:49] !pastebin | Voort [04:49] Voort: 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) [04:49] n8tuser, I did read the part about the agents and added the key with ssh-add and after that it did'nt ask for passphrase but still asked for password. [04:49] how to i go back to a previous version of ubbuntu? [04:49] prkolchik: Ubuntu did install an ATI driver, but it was with that driver that I was having problems. So I researched. The prop driver is pretty recent so I am thinking maybe I need it? [04:49] ephak: what type of partition is on the drive? [04:49] !downgrade > planegenius [04:49] planegenius, please see my private message [04:49] ratius -> one time it has to ask [04:50] jon5000: u sure it is compatible with ur current kernel?

I'll start over again [04:50] ephak: k try running sudo fdisk -l at a terminal and see if it shows the 200gb drive [04:51] prkolchik: Is what compatible, the card or the new driver? If the new driver, it says I must have Linux Kernal 2.6 or higher [04:51] victorhugo_: it's still rdesktop in 8.10, install it, you'll find intuitive gui under system > prefs > remote desktop [04:51] histo: yes it shows it [04:51] shows both [04:51] lol i tryed to report a bug when something crashed and i get this popup: The problem cannot be reported: This is not a genuine ubuntu package [04:51] going from jaunty back to intrepid, because of audio issues, rec'd no help on subject, and need to revert back to stable version [04:51] ephak: k you just need to mount it then. If you want it to mount on every boot you will have to modify your fstab [04:51] !fstab > ephak [04:51] ephak, please see my private message [04:51] ratius -> just follow the tutorials step by step [04:52] ok [04:52] !resolution [04:52] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[04:52] n8tuser, yeah I'll try again thx [04:52] thatd be great how do i do that? [04:52] jon5000: what does it say if u type "uname -a" in terminal? [04:52] Voort: does it resolve the ip? [04:52] DasEi: Which program do you use? [04:52] planegenius: download the ISO [04:53] planegenius: md5sum it, burn it to CD, and install [04:53] i still have it, will i be able to keep all my settings [04:53] it says: Linux jlulu-laptop 2.6.24-23-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 21:47:28 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [04:53] planegenius: which settings?

[04:54] planegenius: probably can get sound working in 9.04 some how by the way [04:54] planegenius: you can keep some stuff, but may as well start over [04:55] ok. No I didnt try installing it, figured I would check here as to whether there is reason to believe I already have those things. That helps a lot [04:55] Voort: okay definately a dns problem. Did you save the /etc/resolv.conf after you added the new dns servers in there? [04:55] jon5000: but if you dont, go to "System" -> Administation -> Synaptics package manager and there you search for whatever is needed [04:55] jon5000: if you dont have them, it just wont work =P [04:55] jon5000: i mean install [04:55] histo, and restarted the NIC to apply the settings [04:55] when I add a location to the panel clock and click set, that changes the timezone for the entire system? [04:55] jon5000: just make sure you backup ur xorg config file [04:55] planegenius: really ISO's should be md5summed before burning [04:55] !md5sum [04:55] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [04:55] i mean, sound is very bad at this point, stutters like crazy, and i have no idea why, it started with flash, but now it does it constantly... no help n forums... [04:56] i just set up sshfs so i can edit my servers html files from gedit locally. is it possible to setup sshfs to use "sudo". i know a simple route would be change the .html to user permissions but i'd ather not do that [04:56] planegenius: well don't expect much help for 9.04 just yet [04:56] Voort: I would try sudo mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.bak [04:56] planegenius: the final release is only this Thursday [04:56] Quick question: I just formated a partition as ext3. It is listed as 61.0 GB Media under Places [04:56] ok.... i see [04:56] Voort: then create a new one with just nameserver 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 in it and nothing else. [04:56] ok. So I think what youre saying is I should check on synaptics for all those libraries and such, and get them there if any are missing, then install the proprietary driver i got from AMD/ATI website? [04:56] I can't change the Volume name. [04:57] planegenius: and if your going to downgrade, then yeah for various reasons I think 8.04 rather than 8.10 [04:57] jon5000: ok, backup xorg.conf file, then try installing it. If it fails because it needs some pakages go to synapics and get them and try again [04:57] really 8.10 was working just fine... === edgex-[ded] is now known as edgex- [04:58] And if I sudo nautilus and click on the computer button, i get: [04:58] Nautilus cannot handle "computer" locations. [04:58] planegenius: sure, but security updates run out for 8.10 much before 8.04. and no KDE3 in the repo for 8.10 or 9.04 [04:58] i tried using usb-creator to make a flash installer for 9.04, but it jost dropped me into busybox [04:58] jon5000: backing up xorg.conf file is a very good thing in ur case. It will help u recover in case driver will not work with ur system [04:58] neter 'live nor 'live-install' work [04:58] oh... [04:58] planegenius: that's a known pulseaudio problem, the jittery sound. ask in #ubuntu+1, and give me a minute and I'll try to remember a quick change you can make in an /etc/pulse file that might fix it [04:58] planegenius: and there isn't that much difference between 8.04 and 8.10 [04:59] gbeebe: sudo e2label
