[00:00] sure koshar1 [00:00] yep Jaunty [00:00] Thurusiaz: and you installed flashplugin-nonfree? [00:01] can someone help me with a resolution problem all games start out fine and after 2 minutes or so get very slow a change to 800x600 fixes it but last time i changed it to 800x600 102x768 disapered from the display manager and i had to reinstall to get it back [00:02] bobertdos: ok, i declare myself officially for stupid.. clearing history/cache/offlinedata/etc helped :D thank you and Gadu1 for your help :) === inkube is now known as inkube_ [00:02] here is the output from lspci koshar1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/159689/ [00:02] gostone and also ifconfig === inkube_ is now known as inkube [00:03] jordan_u is there a document with the syntax for the .bash_profile? [00:04] hi, how do i align the heads on my hp printer? thanks === jordan is now known as Guest36828 [00:04] he guys, i installed 9.04, where can i change the language? [00:05] kirbsah, It for the most part simply runs the commands you enter there before the shell starts, as if you had typed them in. So if you want to add a directory to your PATH you would put "PATH=$PATH:~/bin". Basically just use "man bash" [00:05] zfmf: you might want to install language packs through synaptic. === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [00:06] jordan_u ok thank you. [00:06] i have a problem, none of my programs that used to minimize to bottom do that anymore, they just disaapear [00:06] kirbsah, np [00:06] gostone ok your ethernet chip is a Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter [00:06] lorenzo_: Install hplip. You can either try the version in the repos, or download it directly from the website for the latest version. This installs the absolute latest Linux drivers for HP products, which often includes the extra maintenance tools. [00:06] here is the output koshar1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/159691/ [00:06] Guest36828, Right click the bottom panel and re-add the "window list" applet [00:07] How does wubi work? Is the system actually installed directly into a chroot on ntfs, or does it go into a disk image? [00:07] muellisoft i installed it under ssystem -> administrtion -< language support and after? [00:07] bobertdos, thanks a lot! a true lifesaver :) [00:07] how do i move the programs over so they arent crunched up like [00:07] can someone help me with a resolution problem all games start out fine and after 2 minutes or so get very slow a change to 800x600 fixes it but last time i changed it to 800x600 1024x768 disapered from the display manager and i had to reinstall to get it back [00:08] gostone it would appear to be using this driver sis190 26116 0 [00:08] pipegeek: in a folder with virtual drive image [00:08] ah [00:09] * pipegeek is off to check out the wubi source, as he'd like to duplicate that setup in an ntfs partition on a flash drive, using a minimal debian install [00:09] gostone: and ifconfig is loading it ok it would seem, can you disable the wifi and try pinging your router? [00:10] how can i blacklist modules in the new 2.6.28 kernel? it's ignoring my blacklist directives... [00:10] well koshar1, when i ran live it worked, and windows works on windows. So i know i can get dhcp from router [00:10] > how do i move the programs over so they arent crunched up like [00:10] when i run anything that needs the java runtime (it is installed) it tells me i need to set the JAVA_HOME variable... do i do this in my .bash_profile? [00:10] can I use xargs as 2nd parameter? [00:10] hello fellow linuxers [00:10] hehe [00:11] kirbsah: There are lots of places you can do it, but yes. [00:11] randomusr: lol [00:11] I want to pipe something to xargs, and do something like .... mv (some_location) (xargs) [00:11] bobertdos, id prefer to do it somewhere global [00:11] hi guys , everytime I do an update-grub I end up with a menu.lst that has the title of "Debian GNU/Linux" instead of "Ubuntu", how do I fix this ? [00:11] what is the difference between ubuntu-laptop-mode y laptop-mode-tools packages? [00:11] !cron > testbottu [00:11] testbottu, please see my private message [00:12] I'm having some difficulty with Compiz Config, it won't hold the setting for Cube Atlantis [00:12] kirbsah: In Ubuntu, you can use /etc/profile. You can also use /etc/.bashrc and other files like that. [00:12] I've enabled workarounds, but no luck [00:12] And Now I need therapy [00:12] lol [00:12] bobertdos ah ok thank you [00:12] are the Gusty repos offline now? === frank_ is now known as frankS2 [00:12] * Lafitte- give randomusr a pat on the head [00:12] is there a possibility to get the logged in users from /proc ? [00:13] like the command users [00:13] but only from /proc [00:13] Lafitte, gee thanx but where's the leather couch [00:13] limx: try "w" [00:13] anyone help me? [00:13] no [00:13] Muelli: i know w, but i want to read the logged in users from a file :) [00:13] i need this for a python script [00:14] Guest36828 Anyone has left the building much like Elvis [00:14] but we're here [00:14] can someone help me please [00:14] anyone have problems with with divx playing === kompulsa_dot_com is now known as Tetracomm [00:14] well limx. You can read from a process' stdout as well. But to answer your question: I don't think it's possible to read the currently logged on users from the kernel. [00:14] gostone by the looks of it its a config issue, the hardware appears to be loading up ok as seen in ifconfig [00:14] !helpme | Guest36828 [00:14] Guest36828: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [00:14] Guest36828 Someone is ill today, what's issue? [00:15] limx: try something like subprocess.Popen(['w'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.read() [00:15] everytime I do an update-grub I end up with a menu.lst that has the title of "Debian GNU/Linux" instead of "Ubuntu", how do I fix this ? [00:15] I am pleased to report that the upgrade from 8,10 to 9.04 has fixed various problems with sound/microphone on my Dell Studio XPS laptop. So well done to those involved [00:15] Muelli: thx, currently i read this from users stdout [00:15] wall-e_: What are you using? [00:15] Muelli: but i want to optimize the code [00:15] i think subproces.open is slow [00:15] ubuntu 8.10 [00:15] i fixed the issue with the programs not displaying, but now they are all crushed over to one side and not spread out and i cant find a move button like their used to be [00:16] I accidentally deleted /var/lib/dpkg and now I can't update, how can I fix this? [00:16] limx: don't care about optimization. Care about beauty and maintainability of your code. [00:16] subprocess is slowing down my script [00:16] wall-e_: More specifically, what are you using to play videos? [00:16] i dot the gstramer and wondering if there are any other codec? [00:16] Huh, why doesn't Ubuntu have the latest Eclipse? [00:16] !latest [00:16] 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. [00:16] hey i just upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 on my way to installing 9.04, but after succesfully completing the upgrade and rebooting, all i get is a login: command line prompt [00:17] limx: I really won't buy this. But it's up to you of course. === cshadowrun is now known as CShadowRun [00:17] how do i find my java runtime directory? [00:17] Muelli: i know, clarity before performance :-) but my code needs to be fast [00:17] wall-e_: There are MANY, MANY, MANY gstreamer codec packs. I would suggest installing them all. I always do. [00:17] im not sure 100% what is in the avi,s [00:17] wall-e_: either that or I install vlc [00:17] Yeah, but the latest Eclipse has PHP, which I need [00:17] do i have to do anything special to make sure my clock is set by ntp? [00:18] but most just any divx/xvid or mpeg [00:18] ubuntu 8.10? [00:18] Conic, so. use Gentoo then if you want bleeding edge [00:18] It's not even bleeding edge. [00:18] everything was working perfect on 8.04 then upgraded to 8.10 worked for about a month then did an update and is not working properly [00:19] anyone else having issues with ubuntu 9.04 and firefox hanging ? [00:19] well limx. You obviously have no clue what you are talking abuot. Writing in Python and caring for speediness is a contradiction most of the time. Plus: you have no clue how fast an "execve" systemcall is, not to mention how it compares to a read() on a (non existant, btw) file generated by the kernel. [00:19] everytime I do an update-grub I end up with a menu.lst that has the title of "Debian GNU/Linux" instead of "Ubuntu", how do I fix this ? [00:19] well again Ubuntu aims for stability not latest/greatest,,,,hmmmm try maybe a PPA or .deb [00:19] !ppa [00:19] With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [00:19] yabbo: I haven't had that issue *yet* ... though I have noticed some missing libraries which are required for other things ;P [00:20] abe3k: sound like you've installed "grub2" or how this other package is installed. You probably have to install the "real" grub package. [00:20] s/is/is called/ [00:20] DiJitalwench: i have 2 64 bit 9.04 and 1 32 bit with the same issue... [00:20] what's the package from synaptic to install to get the autoconf command? [00:20] Hello [00:20] DiJitalwench: although they were all beta versions to start with [00:20] i upgraded again to 9.04 on this desktop and it flashed blue and crashed everytime [00:20] I have a problem with wine in the new 9.04 [00:20] the games doesnt go fullscreen [00:21] any idea ?? [00:21] : I have gfxboot installed yes [00:21] Muelli: so, executing uptime could be faster than reading the value from /proc/uptime e.g.? [00:21] i have an issue with my video drivers in 9.04 not likeing higher resolutions so im stuck at 1024x768... might have something to do with the same thing there Digit0 [00:21] : isn't there a way of adding a default title setting in the menu.lst file ? [00:21] Anyone know where I can get ia32 lib files (for amd64 arch) that ubuntu servers do not apparently have? [00:22] so does compiz work propperly for anyone with 9.04?? [00:22] how do i find my java runtime directory? === jordan is now known as Guest83479 [00:22] sorry... [00:22] installation directory [00:22] abe3k: dunno. All I know is that "the other" grub package causes all headaches you can think of. Especially on kernel updates. [00:22] yabbo, well my X works normally, it's just that wine in fullscreen is not really fullscren [00:22] : understood , thanks [00:22] what package do i install to get the autoheader command? [00:22] hello [00:23] hi all [00:23] kirbsah: have a look at /etc/alternatives/java* :) [00:23] Digit0: check your wineconfig to make sure its set to the same rez [00:23] yep yep [00:23] it's the same [00:23] I didnt change anything [00:23] and it worked with 8.10 [00:23] muelli is there a generic way to search for stuff? [00:23] Digit0: i guess we just have to wait for a fix lol... i might roll back to 8.10 myself [00:23] muelli and that dir doesnt exist... or was it meant as a joke? [00:23] why is fullscreen flash performance still so bad? i tried all flash 10 alpha, stuff from synaptic, etc. i can't watch any fullscreen flash [00:24] still having the spacing issue [00:24] kirbsah: depends on what your are looking for. If you're looking for files, "find" is your friend :) [00:24] kirbsah: uh. that was not intended to be a joke at all. [00:24] Where can I find that testing app that's used to preview themes and similar? [00:24] kirbsah: I believed, Ubuntu has a /etc/alternatives/ directory. [00:24] muelli sorry [00:24] I have a perfectly functional installation of 8.04. Only reason I want to have 9.04 is so I have newer Pidgin, OO.org and gpu-support. You think it's worth the transition or it doesn't worth the hassle and I should just play around with the .deb's ? [00:24] muelli i dont :( [00:25] kirbsah: try "update-alternatives" [00:25] kalakouentin: upgrade to 8.10 [00:25] LOL yabbo [00:25] well i need to add JAVA_HOME= to my /etc/.bash_profile [00:25] well kirbsah. my 8.10 has a /etc/alternatives/. [00:25] :P [00:25] kirbsah: you better don't. [00:25] i would stay with 8.04 or 8.10 [00:25] kalakouentin: i would wait on 9.04... seams alot of people are having strange issues with random things [00:25] Hi All... i m doing a very small mistake somewhere and i m unable to configure internet on 9.04.. please please please help.. i ve been at this for th last 4 hours wit no luck [00:25] muelli but i dont know what director to set JAVA_HOME= to [00:25] right about now, I'd recommend sticking with 8.04 or 8.10 [00:26] kalakouentin, I'm on 9.04 and am not having any problems, check the release notes to see if any of the bulletins apply to you [00:26] 9.04 seems to be not as worth the hassle ! or maybe i did something wrong [00:26] just a few too many bugs in 9.04 yet [00:26] muelli im using 9.04 [00:26] kirbsah: simple. You let your system do it for you. Have a look at update-alternatives. It should do it for you. [00:26] hey guys [00:26] i have 9.04 on 3 systems and have bugs on all 3 lol [00:26] kirbsah: you might have to re-login thuogh. [00:26] h00k: hi, can you please help me [00:26] !helpme | mib_mmx8vt14 [00:26] mib_mmx8vt14: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [00:26] muelli ok ill take a look thanks for the help [00:26] hi I just installed ubuntu on my dads computer, and immediatley got a grub error 17 any way to fix this or a log file explaining why it happened [00:26] just bought a 32 inch sharp, but when i open movies, vlc crashes [00:26] mib_mmx8vt14, what are you having problems with? [00:27] OK. I'll ask the same question in two-three weeks and see the reactions then. I'm keeping my 8.04. [00:27] alexif install ur grub again [00:27] or another program i try to use for that matter [00:27] same thing happens if i try to maximize a flash vid [00:27] h00k: configuring the network [00:27] im using netbook remix 9.04 on this msi u100 wind and its the only thing that would install properly with usb [00:27] gacker HOW [00:27] !ask | mib_mmx8vt14 [00:27] mib_mmx8vt14: 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. :-) [00:27] it's better writer 9.04 [00:27] h00k: i have done this a year ago wuth 8.04 [00:27] use ubuntu live cd [00:27] I'm preparing to clean install Jackalope, and was told to back up my ETC and my HOME folders. Does this include drivers for graphics, wireless, sound, all that stuff? [00:28] I might actually be able to deal with 9.04, if I could find the missing ia32 libs that I need for my jailhouse apps [00:28] muelli im working on a server... can use a gui :( [00:28] h00k: but this time it jst wont happen [00:28] and got jaunty runnying on this other laptop but desktop effects dont work [00:28] kirbsah: what do you mean? Have I requested you to use a GUI? [00:28] mib_mmx8vt14, you'll need to be more specific, I still don't know exactly whats going on. [00:28] when I plug my pendrive nautilus doesn't open its folder [00:28] does anyone know of a way to install kde on your system, and still be able to cleanly uninstall it after you've played around with it? [00:28] muelli g alternatives? [00:29] Will a fresh install of Jaunty find the modem so that the modem "just works"? [00:29] !puregnome > meatcar [00:29] meatcar, please see my private message [00:29] cousteau: unplug your pendrive, do a "sudo dmesg -c", plug your pendrive in and pastebin us a result of your dmesg. [00:29] meatcar, u can use suse [00:29] h00k: i am able to ping to this xp machine frm where i m typing but i m not able to get on the internet (which is through this xp machine again) [00:29] kirbsah: no clue what you're talking abuot :-/ [00:29] meatcar you should be able to just partition your hardrive and put it on that partition [00:29] mib_mmx8vt14, are you running Ubuntu in a virtual machine? [00:29] any suggestions ? [00:29] h00k: i have set the edit connection too many times... with no luck [00:29] I can auto-open CDs, DVDs, MP3 players... but the USB auto-mounts but doesn't auto-open [00:29] meatcar, prolly better to just get the Kubuntu Live CD [00:29] h00k: no [00:30] h00k: its on a laptop [00:30] I've solved the issue byt editng a file [00:30] I removed brasero, libbrasero-media0 and soundjuicer from my PC, don't know if that has something to do [00:30] abe3k: usually does it :D [00:30] why is KDE4 so slow with compiz gnome is much faster? is there some wayt o get it faster? [00:30] mib_mmx8vt14, you're sharing a connection through another box running XP [00:30] muelli ah sorry ok i see sorry [00:30] i wish to see how slow my system gets with KDE, but want to avoid the pain of reinstalling the wifi drivers [00:30] Anyone know how to repeat a track in amarok 2? [00:30] since the update to jaunty, when i open amarok, it says scanning music, gets to 93%, and stalls [00:30] wilhartu: it's probably 'cause plasma and compiz are fighting for GPU cycles. [00:30] h00k: yes i m using that xp machine to type this [00:30] wilhartu: config of gnome and kde will be different [00:31] so what should i do then? [00:31] I was told to back up my ETC and my HOME folders. Does this include drivers for graphics, wireless, sound, all that stuff? [00:31] Hi... listen... IRC is great but I need to get a modem functioning on a laptop and I'm totally lost. I persuaded this guy to but Ubuntu on it an my inability to get the modem functioning is hurting the movement. May I please call some Ubuntu hero who can walk me through this? [00:31] lufis install amarok14 [00:31] : it lies in the update-grub file, edited the title line to 'title="$(lsb_release --short --id 2>/dev/null) $(lsb_release --short --release 2>/dev/null)" || title="Ubuntu"' [00:31] wilhartu: decide which you want to use, and rill with that. [00:31] h00k: just a few houirs ago i was on the internet from the laptop using 8.10 [00:31] koshar1: Does 2 not have that feature? [00:31] Ghoti: choose what? [00:32] wilhartu: whether you want Compiz FX, or Plasma eye-candy [00:32] lufis: its a menu option like 1 [00:32] it's like Nautilus auto-opens all kind of media but normal USB's [00:32] mib_mmx8vt14, your Ubuntu install should just be DHCP, your XP machine, if configured correctly, should give your Ubuntu box an IP, it sounds like the XP machine isn't set up properly: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126 [00:32] bye bye [00:32] Ghoti: i disabled internat "effetcts" and run compiz still slow [00:32] internal [00:32] guide for installing amarok 2 on ubuntu 9.04 http://nomad.ca/blog/2009/apr/3/amarok-14-jaunty-ubuntu-904/ === craver is now known as nicros_ [00:32] koshar1: So it is. thanks! what a weird UI [00:32] er amarok 14 [00:32] wilhartu: just ditch compiz, job done [00:32] h00k: i had changed from dhcp to static [00:32] i just upgraded to jauny. have an ati card that requires fglrx drivers. every time i resize a window or pick a tab system freezes for ~2seconds and cpu pegs [00:32] ActionParsnip: and use KDE instedad ? [00:32] is there anything i can do? [00:32] Hello, I recently installed ubuntu 9.04. While running the live cd i noticed the graphics were choppy, so i checked "Hardware Drivers" and noticed "Nvidia accelerated graphics (Version 180)". So i install ubuntu, and the graphics are still choppy, i go to "Hardware Drivers", but "Nvidia accelerated graphics (Version 180)" is no longer there, what can i d [00:32] hmm reinstalled grub but i still get an error 17 i really shouldnt have done this to him haha [00:32] o?

I think I've tried darned near everything............. [00:34] all other sound is fine [00:34] Looking for help with Cube Atlantis, it won't stay enabled [00:34] mib_mmx8vt14, DHCP should work on your Ubuntu provided the XP sharing is correct. [00:34] 9.04 It is the best thing and plus outpost in the world [00:34] wall-e_: oh [00:34] i want to remove the option of locking the screen and suspending and hibernating the machine for a user.. how can i do this? [00:34] Well, there must be a solution. [00:34] h00k: do you mean automatic dhcp [00:34] mib_mmx8vt14, yeah. [00:34] iv installed it acouple different tims [00:35] zamba: sounds like you want to lockdown gconf. While I haven't experience with it, you might want to check "sabayon" to lockdown gconf [00:35] wall-e_, what problems have you been having? [00:35] Hi, I have some folders starting with a +. Nautilus sorts them based on the letter following the + but I'd like it to put the + folders at the top... any ideas if that's possible? [00:35] give Jaunty a few weeks to work out all the kinks, every release goes through growing pains even if they've been Alpha/Beta tested its impossible to find all the bugs during testing phases, 8.10 was the same way... [00:35] h00k: i changed it back to auto dhcp by right clicking the network icon in the taskbar... do i need to do it elsewhere too> [00:36] mib_mmx8vt14, no, that's it [00:36] desktop effects, booting [00:36] wall-e_, what do you have for a graphics card, also what 'booting' problems? [00:36] Wonderful work in ext4 for ssd [00:36] is there a quick way to create a send mail server to send an email? [00:37] mib_mmx8vt14: the problem might be in your bridge connection in network settings [00:37] user01: apt-get install :) [00:37] looks like I also disabled the eject button for devices [00:37] mib_mmx8vt14: just a thought [00:37] i got it to boot the fistime but then uptated after installing some pretty normal things and froze with just mouse function [00:38] a local server will configure to my local time for sending? [00:38] Can anyone tell me what is in my /ETC folder? Does this include my drivers settings? [00:38] Did they really disable ctrl+alt+backspace in 9.04? [00:38] or UTC? [00:38] Ghoti, yep [00:38] sheena1: its mainly settings for a few things [00:38] sheena1: it's mostly configuration files [00:38] !dontzap | Ghoti (yep)... [00:38] Ghoti (yep)...: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable » [00:38] duxbarak: bridge connection? [00:38] thanks, eseven73 [00:38] :) [00:38] anyone has the bitstream font in urxvt? [00:39] actionparsnip, duxbarak: so not drivers? Is there a way to back those up? This is my only computer, so if I put 9.04 on and find out my wireless doesn't work, I have no way to get the drivers! [00:39] mib_mmx8vt14: on the xp machine, it sounds like your bridging, right? [00:39] Can anyone help getting my nvidia card to work at its full potential? [00:39] sheena1, if your wireless works in 8.10, they'll work in 9.04 [00:39] anyone know if its possible to reconfigure a mic input to being an output ?? [00:39] Octoroks- whats wrong with it?

[00:40] duxbarak: i have a wireless router that takes cabled connections too... i have always stuck in a cable wit a new ubuntu install , got the graphics and wireless drivers working and then connecrted only wirelessly [00:40] h00k: thanks [00:40] sheena1, no problem. The drivers are built in, you don't need to back them up like in Windows [00:40] sheena1: or use wired connection to get up and running [00:40] greetings, how do I determine my version of rtorrent ? [00:41] thanks! :) [00:41] jim0203: that is the thing, nothing shows up in "Hardware Drivers" for it. [00:41] actionparsnip: it seems i should be alright, yeah i didn't think of using a wire :$ [00:41] mib_mmx8vt14: oh, ok, i thought you were bridging your connection through your xp machine, nm then [00:41] duxbarak: the xp machine has the internet connection which is shared t other machines thru the router [00:41] jimobeirne: * [00:41] sheena1: think outside the box :) [00:41] Octoroks- need to enable the sources [00:41] Ax3: run rtorrent it lists the version at the top [00:42] h00k: i'm an ex-windows user, you can tell, eh? :) i've only been on ubuntu for about 9 months now, still learning. This is my first clean install (with back up) so I'm kind of nervous! [00:42] system/prefs/software sources [00:42] thanks freehood4all [00:42] actionparsnip: Thanks. I can't believe i didn't think i can just plug the blue wire into my machine. How bizarre is that! [00:42] jimobeirne: i clicked the box in "source code" but it just makes it orange and dosn't put a check mark. [00:42] sheena1, no problem, its understandable. I hope you find the community helpful [00:42] mib_mmx8vt14: to ununtu machine connects to router which connects to xp machine, which connects to ...?

[00:42] no prob Ax3 [00:42] third party software-> both the jaunty prtners [00:42] mib_mmx8vt14: so* [00:43] then let it reload,,,and voila, yuou should get a pop up saying drivers are available [00:43] psychic: Do you mean to use the mic port as an *output* In almost all cases, probably not. [00:43] jimobeirne: trying that now, thanks [00:43] the xp machine connects to th router... the router has inoputs for other machines or wireless for laptops [00:43] yes [00:43] no prob [00:43] ok [00:43] Anyone have a good walkthrough for creating a separate HOME partition during a clean install? [00:44] anyone know what the command to increase and decrease the volume is so I can add a keyboard shortcut? I'm not looking for the command that launches the volume control window. [00:44] !home | sheena1 [00:44] sheena1: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [00:44] well thanks [00:44] duxbarak: the xp machine connects to th router... the router has inoputs for other machines or wireless for laptops [00:44] sheena1: yeah what the bot gave, but you don't really need one anymore it seems [00:44] Octoroks- I have dual nvidia 8800 (768MB) cards in mine in an SLI config. now THAT was fun to figure out... [00:44] sebsebseb, its quite a good idea, yet [00:44] mib_mmx8vt14: so router's uplink goes to your internet? or the xp machine connects directly to your internet and shares to router? [00:44] jimobeirne: satisfying when you do isnt it? [00:44] sheena1 h00k and here's why, if you re install and don't format the partition, I have been told that the home data stays in tact. [00:44] ◔ ◡ ◔ [00:45] sheen1 h00k that is as of 8.04 [00:45] Ax3: aptitude show rtorrent [00:45] duxbarak: yes the xp connects directly and shares to router [00:45] sebsebseb: i dont? i've been told that if i partition it now (when i do the install) then next time, i dont have to back anything up. [00:45] indeedy! Now, if I could just get the sound to work in Flash.... :-( [00:45] sheena1: that used to be the case sure [00:45] (oops, I just answered a very old comment) [00:45] have to use the OSS drives due to the soundblaster card I have [00:45] sheena1: ,but you can re install with the home data staying in tact on / I have been told [00:45] is it possible to make ubuntu recognize what browser is open, and use that as the default one? [00:45] http://www.control-escape.com/linux/lx-partition.html [00:45] walkthrou [00:45] sebsebseb, sheena1: then you have different files laying around, etc. It's quite a good idea to have your /home separate.

[00:46] duxbarak: i can even ping the xp machine [00:46] h00k: see above, the home will always stay there, with what I was saying [00:46] sebsebseb, I understand that, but then you have cruft laying around from not formatting the root / partition. [00:47] sheena1: you shoudn't be using your computers hard disk as the major storage device anyway, and backing up stuff you want to keep for sure elsewhere, because hard disks can suddenly fail, and then it costs a lot of money to get data back from them [00:47] mib_mmx8vt14: ok, i used to do that, i'm assuming that in the xp machine, you'll need a bridge between the connection to the internet, and the eth0 that connects to the router [00:47] mib_mmx8vt14 can you log into the modem from the linuc box via a web session [00:47] h00k: no the new install just goves over the old root files or whatever [00:47] duxbarak bridge? [00:47] sebsebseb: I know. I don't do any thing that's actually important, and when i do, i have it on google-docs or email anyway.

I prefer to keep my HD clean. [00:49] mib_mmx8vt14: if it's set up how i think it is, you need a network bridge. highlight the two connections(internet and eth0 to router) in Network Connections, right click on one, and click bridge connections in menu [00:50] koshar1: i m using a dlink wireless router [00:50] Can someone please help me configure X on Jaunty?

[00:52] sebsebseb, I ran Jaunty from beta on ext4, but I always keep my /home separate and just reformat / when needed (if I want to try multiple distros on my laptop or whatever, they both can use the same /home) [00:52] Led- gotta finda way to update your software sources via cli and then update the drivers [00:52] jimobeirne, i did already [00:52] koshar1: 192.168.0.1 is this xp machine, .2 is the router [00:52] then what? [00:53] and, unfortnatuely..I'm not THAT good [00:53] h00k: I'm having nasty problems with my Flash drivers, and was told that upgrading might fix it, but if i spend 4 hours doing that and it doesnt, i'll have to do the clean install anyway. i figure i'm best to just do it right the first time, and since i'm doing it, i'd like to create the partitions the right way. I didn't know of all this when I initially put ubuntu on this machine.

[00:53] h00k: if I am going to put another distro on, I like to set up my partitions for it again anyway, and it seems a waste to have a 16gb or so / that is only being used for Linux programs, and so not much space used, with a seperate home that is big [00:53] i need a good scanner how hellp me?????

[00:54] can anyone help me with intel 3495 wifi not working [00:54] hi everyone. i need some help finding the maven executable after running "sudo apt-get install maven2".

[00:55] mib_mmx8vt14 which dlink router? 501? 301 ? 304? whats the model number [00:56] sheena1: ext3 and ext4 are filesystems used for storing files on hard drives. [00:56] tehboriz: you can try reconfiguring.. [00:56] not sure how much good it will do. [00:56] sebsebseb-- they are file systems, like FAT, FAT32, NTFS.... [00:56] how would i do that? i'm new at this IndyGunFreak [00:56] helpme: yes you can, but it's not fully legal, and it won't work as well as Mac OS X on real proper Mac hardware [00:56] koshar1: i m not suire of this [00:56] ghoti, sebsebseb: thanks ghoti. is one better? is there a "Best" one? [00:56] mib_mmx8vt14 do you care to read the sticker underneath it? [00:56] helpme, better to load Ubuntu onto a MAC :) thats what i did! [00:56] sheena1: ext4 is the newest, but there are still a couple kinks to work out in my opinion. I recommend ext3 [00:57] dual boot my macboook pro [00:57] awesome [00:57] tehboriz: you can try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg just take generic defaults, see if that gets you back to a working desktop, but i wouldn't get my hopes up [00:57] firefox crashes after i loaded a new security module, is there a way or a file to edit remove the module [00:57] I agree with Sheena [00:57] sheena1: no best file system, but Ext4 in certain ways is better than Ext3, but Ext4 by the sounds of things is also not 100% stable yet, but loasd of people ran without problems. [00:57] koshar1: i think its dir-300 [00:57] Someone was telling me there was a better alternative to run Windows based programs on Ubuntu other than WINE [00:57] ghoti: i choose this when I first do the clean install, right? i seem to remember it asking me about file systems last time.. [00:57] IndyGunFreak, thanks, i'll try it now [00:57] some reports of data loss with EXT4 [00:57] sheena1: as an experiended Ubuntu user and by what I seen of 9.04 it seems pretty much pointless to me really, except for Ext4 [00:57] anyone know what they might have been talking about ? [00:57] mib_mmx8vt14 can you confirm that by reading the sticker? [00:57] hellow all, if i were to delete a file/directory where would i find the log showing this... under /var/log ??? [00:58] supernix: sure [00:58] supernix: a virtual machine? [00:58] sheena1: correct [00:58] koshar1: yes its written on it dir-300 [00:58] sebsebseb: what do you mean? that 9.04 is pointless, or that selecting a file system is pointless? or somethign else? [00:58] supernix: not any good for 3D windows gaming though or stuff like that [00:58] That might be what he was talking about [00:58] hmm [00:58] supernix: you run Windows inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine [00:58] i need a good scanner how hellp me?????

My link is up but I can not associate with the access point. If I pastebin my /etc/network/interfaces, can someone take a look? [01:06] speak [01:06] user and pw for dlink are usually admin -admin [01:06] sheena1: that is as long as you got a seperate home partition. otherwise your 8GB would fill up pretty quickly I think === |Zippo| is now known as Guest41293 [01:06] <disregardthat> Wait, pastebin might be ideal for this. <-- was going to say that :P [01:06] sheena1: same thing for the 16gb / [01:06] speek [01:06] sebsebseb: I'll do 16. I have tons of HD space, so bigger is fine. Yes, separate home is the plan [01:06] going to get that virtual box from sun real quick gang [01:06] sheena1: by default / also has home as part of it [01:06] sheena1: and a seperate home isn't really needed as such anymore [01:06] sebsebseb: do I do home as the rest of my drive?

[01:07] I run esx and a san here at home, am a VCP and all that [01:07] supernix: ok go to http://www.virtualbox.org and download it for Linux hosts [01:07] jimobeirne, it worked, thank you very much <3 [01:07] Anyone know why during install I get the " No common CD-ROM drive was detected" screen? I can't seem to get my drive detected [01:07] supernix: the binary for Linux hosts, that's the closed source version which also has usb and networking suppourt [01:07] sebsebseb: do I do home as the rest of my drive? [01:07] koshar1: do i go to manual internet connection? [01:07] mib_mmx8vt14 see if you can find the dhcp settings [01:07] can anyone give me a clue on inspecting what files were installed by apt-get install? I've done a bunch of googling and manual reading and it's difficult for me to believe that this functionality is just missing. is it?

[01:08] try clearing your packages cache, as (to me) looks like it is...well [01:08] sheena1: home would be the rest of your drive yeah [01:08] corrupted ish [01:08] sheena1: so no Windows on there? :d [01:08] what does 4gb of ram has to do with 64bits? 64bits is more a matter of the processor [01:08] wavis: theres some command that lists them.. i forget what one. :) or use install and use 'mc' and examine the contents of the .deb file. [01:09] sebsebseb: i figure 2gb Swap, 16 gb / and the rest (160 gb approx) home [01:09] !info apt-file [01:09] apt-file (source: apt-file): search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface).

[01:09] sheena1: I would recommend that you create a swap partition that is at least two times you physical memory [01:09] sebsebseb: no. don't like XP, won't use vista, used 2k for a while but its horribly unstable on newer machines, so ... [01:09] mib_mmx8vt14 Click Setup and then click Network Settings. check the Enable DHCP Server server checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue [01:09] topbunny88: really? Can you explain why? I can do that easily.

[01:10] adoro la poesia insignificante mas alla del lenguaje [01:10] si [01:10] lol [01:10] sheena1: double your RAM for hibernate/sleep [01:10] sebsebseb: will do. thanks. [01:10] sheena1: unless your going to try and do that, you don't really need a swap, since you got 4GB RAM [01:10] hello all, does anybody know how can I move the gnome-do to the top of the screen?.....there isnt an option in preferences and googling got me the answer that it really isnt in there (properties).....can anyone point me in the right direction please?

[01:13] sebsebseb: so it's not about compatibility, but about improvements? [01:13] en 1929 lorca escribe poeta en nueva york [01:13] you also should scange the modem to 192.168.0.1 in the modems web admin, you will then need to log back into the modem as 192.168.0.1 then, [01:13] koshar1: there is a list of dhcp clients... but i think its the older one [01:13] sheena1: well 32bit is also more compatible still [01:13] any idea on how to fix my hp pavilion dv5t laptop, since i upgraded to 9.04 my speakers wont work, onnly my [01:13] anybody?

[02:24] ok one last support related question, how do I get Jaunty to run as fast and stable as Windows Vista (yes that is right, it is acting up more than Windows Vista :S:S:S:S) [02:24] koshar1: give me a minute [02:24] tritium, what packages does it install? i dont really feel the need to reinstall the os for a mailserver package [02:24] LjL, http://pastebin.com/d3c42fd [02:24] ok k4k [02:24] LjL, thats the problem message [02:24] phix: its 10000000x more stable here then vista.. more stable then win7 also for me.

AND how can I uninstall all the default themes? [02:25] dr_willis: I mean mind you I have vista popping up things every n seconds, like about hardware that i dont care about, I click on the cancel or go away button but it still appears, but ubuntu's trackerd applet is even more annoying [02:25] usser: ok, and how can you restore location of panels buttons is they gone disordered after running janitor? [02:26] dr_willis: I see, well I will try a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 and see if it still acts up [02:26] phix: what applet? i dont recall that one. [02:26] dr_willis: do yo use NetBeans at all?

[02:27] dust, i dunno havent used kde in forever. themes shouldn't require any compiling at all that im certain. there are certain theme engines but most of the time they are in the repos. check if whatever you're installing shows up in adept-package-manager [02:27] i have ubuntu 8.10 installed as well as KDE. I'm going to upgrade Ubuntu to 9.04. Will it automatically upgrade KDE too? [02:27] !portuguese [02:27] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

However, if a process closes and then opens a file somewhat quickly (within a minute or less?) the timestamp on the symlink will be the original timestamp, not the timestamp from the second opening. Can someone comment on this or point me to docs that explain the behavior? [02:42] fc acpi issues [02:43] fryguy: keys proberly got regernated.. you may just need to copy the keys back or somthing.

[02:43] ALEXXXXXXX [02:43] unko: I'm not sure what you mean. [02:43] Magician: stop that [02:43] LjL no error, it says one package removed and firefox is still there afterwards [02:43] SORRY [02:43] !shout | Magician [02:43] Magician: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [02:43] mykevelli: file a bug report [02:44] elky: perhaps you installed some other version of firefox from some unofficial repository? [02:44] Pici: hold on [02:44] dr_willis: they aren't local on the machine, so the installer wouldn't have even had permission to change them [02:44] How do I disable netflix.com Popups in Firefox ? I thought they got rid of that years ago. [02:44] ekley: perhaps you installed some other version of firefox from some unofficial repository? [02:44] LjL nope, nothing out of the ordinary [02:44] dr_willis: the keys are the same, some behavior in ssh in ubuntu changed, and I am trying to find out what it is [02:44] usr13: yes it is a laptop [02:44] I cant take the network card out easily [02:44] mikejet: adblock plus [02:44] ekley: what version of ubuntu are you on? (on older versions, the package was called mozilla-firefox) [02:44] fryguy: compare/contrast the /etc/ssh/* configs i guess. [02:44] so a work around woul be vey likeable [02:44] ekley: 9.04 or latest update via update manager? [02:44] dr_willis: i have, they are identical [02:44] how do i disable wireless? [02:45] HitThemLow: You can blacklist the device driver [02:45] ekley: ah wait, on *current* versions, the actual package is firefox-3.0 [02:45] everytime i start my comp it is enabled again [02:45] badfish69: sudo ifconfig WIRELESS DEVICE down [02:45] how big is the 9.04 upgrade? if i use the update manager to apply it? [02:45] ekley: so try removing that [02:45] fc I always do clean install, it's the 9.04 upadte relased today that fixed my issues [02:45] usr13: how? [02:45] can i play bf2 online on wine?

I got an ATI 4850 HD card and it keeps freezing up my PC, I feel like that Mac commercial [02:45] LjL thanks, I'll give that a spin [02:46] ekley: cool, thats what i was asking; i installed 9.04 clean on this machine, and was working through problems - i just did the latest update manager and havent rebooted yet; ill give it a whirl [02:46] fc : How come the explicit "Block pop-up windows" checkbox doesn't work? This is crazy. [02:46] how big is the 9.04 upgrade? if i use the update manager to apply it? [02:46] mikejet: i have used adblock plus on firefox since 1.0 [02:46] or is there a channel where I can get help for this [02:46] sambagirl: no clue - if you dont have enough space - delete something [02:46] exit [02:46] reya276: Which drivers are you using?

Have you checked their documentation from their website? [02:47] sambagirl: its not bigger than a cd image (700mb) [02:47] fc what hardware? [02:47] intel based? [02:47] Can anyone tell me if there's a way to set the bit rate for my wireless when using wicd [02:47] Xubuntu 9.04 [02:47] ok thank you. [02:47] tutorial [02:47] mib_0bdxwl: what od you mean bitrate? [02:47] Pici: no i installed the fglrx drivers from the repos [02:48] anyone notice how firefox has massive fonts sizes on certain websites? [02:48] under KDE [02:48] Pici: so what would the command be to uninstall it? [02:48] HitThemLow: Typo, should have been /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [02:48] ekley: tried ctrl+0? [02:48] bobertdos: should I just remove those drivers? [02:48] ok [02:48] the maximum bit rate. I am using the ath5k driver and to prevent it from starting at 1mbit it states to manually set the bit rate to 11 [02:48] i can try that [02:48] fc yeah, it does nothing because it's already at "normal" zoom [02:48] i am getting a better laptop soon, so this is just temporary, thanks [02:49] ekley: what website, ill see if it does it under gnome in firefox [02:49] how do you change a icon pic [02:49] reya276: Well, I would suggest turning off the visual effects.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:49] anyone know of linux lexmark printer drivers that work for the X5495 [02:49] Pici: ???? [02:49] Juniorrrr: whats the problem exactly? [02:49] unko: I suppose its: sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx [02:49] fc: any desktop icon [02:49] Juniorrrr: are you using iso or alternative iso? [02:49] Pici: ok ill try it than get back to you [02:49] sorry... [02:49] no because it happens when compiz is off, so watching video on the web or a dvd causes this [02:49] randal: right click, properties, click on the icon, point it to another png [02:50] isn't fglrx still borken? [02:50] just like the intel dirvers [02:50] -_- [02:50] well, when i go to setup ubuntu just goes to black screen with carriage return ... [02:50] fc: oh never thought of that thanks [02:50] any idea what "Configure the TSEG as WB" means in the context of kernel modules? [02:50] fc: desktop iso... [02:50] bobertdos: no because it happens when compiz is off, so watching video on the web or a dvd causes this [02:50] sounds like a video problem [02:50] Juniorrrr: what happens when you boot to it? [02:51] how can I re-enable ssh publickeys without passphrases in 9.04? [02:51] fc: black screen... like DOS [02:51] fryguy: should be unchanged from 8.10 [02:51] Juniorrrr: does it get to the load screen (where you choose live or install ? [02:51] ok I need some serious help, It seems I have two drivers installed [02:52] fc: after i choose live or install... [02:52] Juniorrrr: choose f4, and use safe video [02:52] tritium: well it's not, now when I try to ssh to sites, I get prompted for a passphrase. there is no passphrase on the key, and ssh -vvv output shows this, and so when I press enter it states no passphrase given, trying next key, of which there is none so it jumps to keyboard interactive login. [02:52] reya276: What happened. [02:52] Juniorrrr: what i had to do for my nvidia [02:52] reya276: Some may say I'm too quick to recommend this, but Ubuntu makes it fairly easy compared to other distros. Uninstall the restricted ones you have and try installing the ones from AMD directly. [02:53] bobertdos: of course, we don't recommend that [02:53] fc: ok, do u have 100% sure? or does exist another possibility ?! it's because i will try tomorrow... [02:53] usr13: I have 2 drivers installed, how can I fix this? [02:53] Juniorrrr: what i did for my laptop that would go black screen after i selected install [02:53] ekley: do you have a discrete video driver (e.g. ati or nvidia) that was fixed in the latest update-manager? [02:54] reya276: 2 driver installed? [02:54] bobertdos: that is exactly what I tried to do so I could play games through wine and it messed up my rig [02:54] reya276: Tell us a little more about your problem. [02:54] fc: ok, thanks... if doesn't work i'll be back === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [02:55] Juniorrrr: best of luck [02:55] is there a way to uninstall vlc 0.99a and go back to vlc 0.98a thru synaptic??

[02:55] ok, so how do I know what t blacklist? [02:56] usr13: ok here in synaptic, there is the xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.1 driver and then I have the xrpg-diver-fglrx 2:8.60 [02:56] reya276: How did you use wine to mess things up? [02:56] Pici, I LOVE YOU!!!!! you fixed it!!! === jeiworth_ is now known as jeiworth [02:56] reya276: So you need to uninstall one? [02:56] hey i've noticed ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't restart x? [02:56] usr13: no I tried to install the ATI drivers from AMD not the ones from the repos [02:56] anyone here have comcast for internet [02:56] usr13: which one do I remove [02:56] hello guys im using 8.04.. is 9.04 latest and stable? [02:57] intx: yes, as described in the jaunty release notes [02:57] how to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04? [02:57] jigg yes [02:57] reya276: I don't know. [02:57] jigp: you need to upgrade to 8.10 first [02:57] jigp: upgrade to 8.120 first then to 9.04 [02:57] hey i got an unreadable drive... it shows up in /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WDC_WD80 [02:57] jigp you need 8.10 first [02:57] i was trying to use ddrescue but it would run right. [02:57] kitche LjL: how about ill download the iso of 9.04? [02:58] Which one do you need to uninstall? [02:58] jigp: then you'll have to reinstall from scratch - not upgrade [02:58] reya276: Which one do you need to uninstall? [02:58] Jack_Sparrow: that would take more time.. how about just go directly to 9.04? [02:58] jigp: only if you intend to do a fresh install. [02:58] jigp: you need to upgrade to 8.10 first, then 9.04. or wipe your machine and start 9.04 from scratch, losing your data. [02:58] jigp: although technically 9.04 is refered to as 'stable' I'd read the release notes before upgrading and finding out your grfx dont work [02:58] usr13: I want to keep the 8.60 [02:58] Any suggestions for caching DNS server? [02:58] jigp You dont if you want a working system [02:58] mikejet: BIND works fine as a caching server [02:58] mikejet: I use bind9. others use powerdns or other alternatives. [02:58] mikejet: i use dnsmasq [02:58] so I did sudo ddrescue -r 3 /dev/disk/by-id/named_drive /media/usbdrive/image /media/usbdrive/logfile [02:59] what is wrong about my command? ^^^ [02:59] ekley: do you have a discrete video driver (e.g. ati or nvidia) that was fixed in the latest update-manager? [02:59] reya276: Where did you get the xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.1 driver ? [02:59] usr13: basically the reason why I tried to do this was because every game I ran in Wine would run at like 2 frames per second and ultimately half my PC [02:59] reya276: What command did you use to install it? [02:59] anyone running ubuntu w/ a nvidia card in 9.04? [02:59] tecky: sure [02:59] i just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be a problem with the new version of X + Nvidia's drivers [02:59] Jack_Sparrow: ok ill stay with 8.04 then. so far I just have 1 problem.. when I start ubuntu I always see the screen that command you to press " cntrl+d or enter login/root" how to stop this thing? [02:59] mikejet: well, i can't say for sure that dnsmasq is the best alternative... but among the other ones mentioned, BIND9 is a full-fledged, very big DNS server, not just a small caching server, and powerdns doesn't seem to be in our repositories [02:59] does anybody know how to setup a linux router to work with ubuntu? [02:59] I used the command that is used to reset the drivers from the xorg.conf file [03:00] reya276: Tell me how you installed it, and I can tell you how to uninstall it. [03:00] tritium: no issues thus far? [03:00] jon_high9000: like dd-wrt router? [03:00] tecky: no, not with my 9400 [03:00] usr13: I used the command that is used to reset the drivers from the xorg.conf file [03:00] Jack_Sparrow: I need to press ctrl+d and press escape so that I could login to the desktop... :( [03:00] fc: sorry, i meant linksys [03:00] reya276: what command is that? [03:00] jon_high9000: yea, but do you have dd-wrt or openwrt installed on it? [03:01] ekley: one sec [03:01] Jack_Sparrow: it is like in windows..always reviewing the files. like scanning and fixing something [03:01] LjL : Yeah this caching DNS server will only be accessed from the local system, usually for firefox website browsing. Yeah, I was just simple caching. Bind9 is too much. [03:01] /J #reactos [03:01] Jack_Sparrow: it is like check disk or something. how to disable the check disk? [03:01] ekley: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [03:01] s/was/want/ [03:01] where is the read to add more repositories again? [03:01] fc: I am still a newbie at this so i no idea what that is. [03:01] hey if I got a disk appearing in this area... /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WDC_WD80_0LB_8F1718-0 [03:02] how can I get data from it using ddrescue? [03:02] Lafitte-_: /etc/apt/sources.list [03:02] jigp You should not disable checkdisk, if it is running, there is a reason [03:02] reya276: What command did you use to reset the drivers from the xorg.conf file? [03:02] usr13: he said above [03:02] reya276: Oh sorry... [03:02] usr13: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [03:02] Idespnnr: does that have more sources i can add ? [03:02] usr13: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg === brian_ is now known as frijolie [03:03] clear [03:03] anyone used window servers other than X on ubuntu? [03:03] Lafitte-_: there may be some you can uncomment, but you add them in manually [03:03] usr13: so should I remove the FOSS drivers or the Proprietary ones [03:03] <|dthacker|> jdu: I used Xwindows on Solaris and AIX, what's your question? [03:03] reya276: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf === c is now known as charitwo [03:04] reya276: And then just restart the Xserver sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [03:04] usr13: what is that command going to do [03:04] |dthacker|, sorry I meant something other than X altogether like rio from plan9 or Y [03:05] how can I re-enable ssh publickeys without passphrases in 9.04? [03:05] <|dthacker|> jdu: sorry, never got more exotic than AIX. [03:05] reya276: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf will remove the xorg.conf file. /etc/init.d/gdm restart will restart the Xserver [03:05] how do i find ip adress and netmask and broadcast? [03:05] trying to set static ip [03:05] |dthacker|, is AIX worth trying? [03:05] <|dthacker|> jdu: no [03:06] wrektjet: use ifconfig [03:06] Does anyone know how I can resize a NTFS partition? I know the Ubuntu Installer resized my Windows partition, so the capability is there. How do I do it? [03:06] blake: use gparted [03:06] blake: gparted [03:06] fryguy is that a command [03:06] wrektjet: yes [03:06] how can i send a screenshot from an ubuntu OS to a windows OS [03:06] Who's a genius with samba? I just created a share and granted the rights to my user but I cannot access it and I dont know why. [03:06] is there a way to uninstall vlc 0.99a and go back to vlc 0.98a thru synaptic?? [03:06] Sagaci: use scrot [03:06] gparted the 'resize' was greyed out. and the partition isn't mounted. fryguy usr13 [03:06] Woot, just installed 9.04 [03:07] Its lagging, horribly, and Some programs wont even start [03:07] Sagaci: take a screenshot, save it, send it one way or another to the widows machine [03:07] anyone have an idea about my ddrescue dillema above? [03:07] Hello there! What's the size a common Ubuntu installation takes on hard drive? [03:07] * fryguy is regretting upgrading [03:07] Sagaci: do you mean just a .jpeg or a screencast? [03:07] Sagaci: Hit PrintScreen button and then copy resulting file over to the other OS's mount ponit some place. [03:07] iamelite: do you have an intel video card? [03:07] filipegatti, at least 8 gb [03:07] filipegatti: 3 or 4 gigabytes [03:07] filipegatti: 4-5 gb [03:07] blake: since when? [03:07] anyone seen a guy called cruxeternus around here lately? [03:07] ekley: do you have a discrete video driver (e.g. ati or nvidia) that was fixed in the latest update-manager? [03:07] blake at least? god :( [03:07] blake, you need ntfsprogs [03:07] I mean, at least make your disk that big [03:07] filipegatti: no, not really [03:07] jdu THANKS! [03:08] idespnnr, negative, ghost rider. I have a HD series [03:08] Jack_Sparrow: but it takes more than 6 hours :( I have to press every minute "ctrl +d" [03:08] umm, I started upgrading 8.04 to 8.10, and I think I may have made a big mistake [03:08] Sagaci: If you want it to be jpeg format, just change the extension to .jpg [03:08] filipegatti: Let's just sum it up this way, you don't need much. [03:08] lpsmith: why? [03:08] blake, once you have it, resize will work in gparted [03:08] It's giving me a bunch of pre-dependency problems for things as fundamental as libc [03:08] lpsmith: what processor? [03:08] im editing /etc/network/config... how dio i know if it should be auto lo or auto eth0 [03:08] thanks guys [03:08] jdu: it works! you rocks socks, thanks for the quick reply [03:08] I'm using 32 bit distro [03:08] wrektjet: lo is local interface only [03:08] LjL-Temp: 3 or 4 gigabytes? why so much? even vista takes less... i'm making a comparative table of operating system my teacher asked for and that was a point i thought ubuntu would win [03:08] lpsmith: what processor do you ahve? [03:08] Does anybody know why ubuntu stops when shuting down until any button is pressed? [03:08] blake, np [03:09] lpsmith - do the upgrade using update-manager -d [03:09] actually I don't know if vista takes less :P [03:09] lpsmith works better than apt-get dist-upgrade [03:09] filipegatti: because ubuntu comes with a complete software suite (office tools, etc), vista does not [03:09] Who's a genius with samba? I just created a share and granted the rights to my user but I cannot access it and I dont know why. [03:09] <|dthacker|> wrektjet: leave lo alone [03:09] jason_: using a domain or workgroups? [03:09] I have an amd 64, but I don't see what difference that makes to an upgrade [03:09] filipegatti: are you talking about space for install? [03:09] guys, where should I put songbird binaries? [03:09] <|dthacker|> !patience | jason_ [03:09] jason_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:09] filipegatti: does Vista install, for example, an office suite (word processor, spreadsheet, etc) for you unless you separately install Microsoft Office? [03:09] I JUST installed Ubuntu 9.04, it uses 2,686,896kb [03:09] lanzelloth: in /usr/local [03:10] oh, i instaleld Skype too [03:10] fryguy - Well, I'm wondering if that may be part of my problem... I just remembered my laptop is my work laptop that's on the work domain..... [03:10] fryguy, ok [03:10] dthacker - I have patience. But thanks anyway! [03:10] lpsmith it does - the update-manager manages dpendecy hell better while upgrading - better path, all that good stuff [03:10] fryguy: you got a point. but talking about a raw installation, let's compare a raw Vista, a raw XP and a raw Ubuntu, don't mind the office suit, only the basic software as a text editor, etc. [03:10] fryguy - I just assumed it would work anyway, domain or workgroup regardless, since it requires user authentication to log in... [03:10] fryguy - besides, my mac isn't connecting to it either. [03:10] filipegatti: ubuntu is a poor choice for linux for that comparison in that case [03:10] carthik: I went through the gui... so how much is going to be broken after this completes? [03:11] filipegatti: look at DSL the live cd is 50 megs [03:11] filipegatti: how could we know, things like the office suite get installed *by default* [03:11] so i should ADD auto etho below the line that says "iface lo inet loopback"? [03:11] 50MB operating system. HAVE FUN!!! [03:11] wrektjet: sure [03:11] filipegatti: also, this discussion should be in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:12] How do I create a new workspace? [03:12] its etho not eth0 right? [03:12] no one else here expriences a pause in the shutdown of ubuntu after the unloading bar finishes and is empty? [03:12] it's eth0 [03:12] the letter o nopt a zero [03:12] mikejet: What do you mean "nwe workspace"? [03:12] mikejet: right click on the virtual desktops thingy in the lower right corner [03:12] its a zero? [03:12] wrektjet: yes [03:12] mikejet: just add another entry to the workspace switcher (lower right) [03:12] good ty [03:12] 9.04 is stuck loading after i login. the little spinny thing just goes and goes. init is the process usually using CPU(via top) any ideas where to start? [03:12] blake: THank you. [03:12] MK13, a pause forever? [03:12] so no one's seen this cruxeternus guy around here? [03:12] MK13: new ubuntu is FAST startup and shutdown. sorry. [03:12] ah okay. Thanks! [03:12] mk13 how long pause? [03:13] <|dthacker|> wrektjet: here's my working config for a static ip address http://pastebin.com/md80f74d [03:13] ok, how do you get flash and pulse audio to play nice? [03:13] As to the discussion of smaller size install, I think Xubuntu is smaller than Ubuntu. Right? [03:13] oh, in 9.0.4 [03:13] it paused on Intrepid and Ibex (can't remember for Hardy) after the unloading bar finishes and it just pauses until a key is pressed (or two in jaunty) [03:13] or 9.04 [03:13] markw i tried a year ago and failed. [03:13] hey if I got a disk appearing in this area... /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WDC_WD80_0LB_8F1718-0 [03:14] Hi - i upgraded to jaunty and now my USB headset doesnt work and neither does my usb mouse (acer aspire laptop) i searched forums and google for the answer but its elusive. any ideas? maybe i just have to turn on the usb somewhere [03:14] markw why need pulse? [03:14] how can I get data from it using ddrescue? [03:14] blake: I figured I'd give it a shot again. [03:14] fryguy: actually, I only need to know the average space a raw Linux takes on hard drive, only with the basic software. I really know this isn't the right channel to ask, but since I already started this discussion, can you give me an average? [03:14] I used sudo ddrescue -r 3 /dev/sda /media/usbdrive/image /media/usbdrive/logfile and it does not like it [03:14] so address netmak and gateway are enough? [03:14] ofcourse the /dev/sda was changed to /dev/disk/by-id/* [03:14] blake: but it looks like flash grabs the audio device and won't let go. [03:14] markw i wanted it for global equalization... [03:14] usr:13 dude that command you gave me messed up the drivers and I'm now in a Live CD session [03:14] markw, flash player works best with alsa .. [03:14] fyi : I create 4 workspaces arranged horizontally. I use ctrl-1 thru ctrl-4 to switch between them. I do this on OS X too. I love the new System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts [03:14] How can I control SpeedStep and the graphics chip (nVidia) adaptive clock thing? I would like to max them out for some testing [03:15] 9.04 is stuck loading after i login. the little spinny thing just goes and goes. init is the process usually using CPU(via top) any ideas where to start? [03:15] usr13: dude that command you gave me messed up the drivers even more and I'm now in a Live CD session [03:15] I'm GLAD scroll-wheel on desktop background doesn't switch workspaces by default anymore. That was horrible. [03:15] filipegatti: For a Ubuntu install I would go with 20Gig or more. YOu need to plan for the future, so less that 20Gig may be shorting yourself. [03:15] I just tried to connect to my samba server with another computer that is in a workgroup, and my access was denied yet in the smb.conf this particular user has access. [03:15] |dthacker|, so i dont need braodcast and network lines? [03:15] tesseracter, the system log in /var/log [03:15] filipegatti: a base linux install can vary anywhere between 50mb and several gigabytes, what you are asking is way too vague [03:15] reya276: They did not mess up any drivers. [03:15] tesseracter : hit Alt + F2 - you should drop to a term [03:15] 9.04 is looking very nice so far. [03:15] filipegatti: 16GB for / is alright or 8GB even, if you do seperate home. otherwise massive / is good [03:16] blake: well, right now if I play something off youtube, I can't play an mp3 with anything. [03:16] but if I kill firefox sound works everywhere else. [03:16] markw, oh you can have only 1 sound playing at a time ... DAM I forgot how to fix that [03:16] reya276: but now that you've booted to the live CD, just copy your xorg.conf file over to the HD [03:16] well, I guess I'm going to go reinstall 8.10, too many problems with 9.04 for me [03:16] my cac card reader crashes firefox now that i upgraded to jaunty but it worked fine in interpid [03:16] reya276: Ok? [03:16] filipegatti: i do 4 + 4 (/ and home) and a seperate data parition [03:16] usr13: how can I do that [03:17] well, people are misunderstanding :( i was only asking the average a raw installation would take for my university work. i think i'll ask at ##linux :P [03:17] markw, if you play in XMMS and in Audacity (or whatever) can you play 2 sounds at same time? [03:17] reya276: Show me the mount point of your HD and I'll tell you. [03:17] luddite, CTRL+alt+F2 [03:17] hi, when i use hdmi the picture seems to be to big for my screen (either in 720p or 1080p) is there a fix for this? (this same computer works like this in windows xp and mac os x) [03:17] can anybody help me with my samba issue? [03:17] <|dthacker|> wrektjet: I don't think so. I'm typing at you from that desktop [03:17] Firefox 3.0.9 on Linux kernel 2.6.24-23 generic on Xubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy Heron will not quit loading pages. We have a decently fast connection so the page is loaded, but the little loading circle up in the left corner of the tab just keeps going around on any webpage I visit [03:17] how can i activate graphical effects in jaunty??? [03:18] filipegatti, it depends on the priorities of the linux distro. Ubuntu gives a basic cd that uses 2gb or so and then expects you to use apt for the rest. [03:18] jason_, ask question, someone might get to it. [03:18] jason_, ask your question..... [03:18] blake - I did, three times, but I'll do it again! [03:18] blake: yes, it's flash that's not playing nice. [03:18] jdu: that was a good one, 2gb [03:18] blake - yes sorry. [03:18] cerokool32: get compiz-fusion [03:18] does anyone here use Gnome Shell? [03:18] I think my upgrade to 9.04 killed grub: When I did the system restart it simply told me "Boot error" until I loaded a live CD session. When I tried to "find /boot/grub/stage1" in grub, I was told "Error 15: File not found." What would be the best way to reinstall grub? [03:18] markw, ah. there is OH!!! i have solution for you [03:18] filipegatti, but you want at least 4gb to have a usable system [03:18] markw, apt-cache search flash player [03:18] * fryguy goes and grabs his backup and restores back to 8.10 [03:18] I have a samba server that I just set up on a spare computer. I created a test user "fred". Fred has access to /media/storage along with /home/fred. However when I log in as fred, fred cannot get to /media/storage. Access denied. Yet, he has access... [03:18] hi, when i use hdmi the picture seems to be to big for my screen (either in 720p or 1080p) is there a fix for this? (this same computer works like this in windows xp and mac os x) [03:18] my usb headset and mouse stopped working after upgrading to 9.04. [03:19] markw, there is a flash plugin for that sound driver [03:19] NINJ4: SuperGRUB disk [03:19] is already installed but still no get anything [03:19] mn: thanks [03:19] NINJ4, dot org =) [03:19] ever since i have upgraded to jaunty all my players refuse to show me a video :( .... is there any package missing ? [03:19] cerokool32: you need to adjust your settings [03:19] mn: I found it :) [03:19] np NINJ4 [03:19] :) good [03:19] jason_, man smbpasswd [03:20] how i do that?? [03:20] connect irc.rizon.net [03:20] cdubya - I added the user through the gui, the system-samba-config gui. [03:20] can someone look at this pastebiun and tell me what i should out as gateway? [03:20] how can you turn usb on in juanty? [03:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/159766/ [03:20] markw try flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound package [03:20] can it disable usb? [03:20] jason_, how did you setup the share? [03:20] cerokool32: Should be able to go to applications -> then something. It's not that hard to find [03:20] luddite: im there, blake, nullmailer is going crazy... [03:21] hey, i just used devede to burn my .avi to a .iso file. now how do i burn that iso file onto a dvd so its playable? [03:21] my tail is long. [03:21] hello. [03:21] cerokool32: Should be like "compiz settings manager" or something of the like [03:21] blake: done that already.

[03:21] cdubya - I went to terminal, went to /media and did a mkdir of "storage". Then I went to the samba gui tool and added the share /media/storage. There's an access tab. I granted access to jason (myself) and fred. Yet when I log into the server with fred into another XP computer, I get access denied on /media/storage. [03:21] i alredy do it but no respond and xorgconfig is empty === h00k_ is now known as h00k [03:22] hi [03:22] cerokool32: Hmm, well idk. I used to have it installed but it lagged me so much I took it off sorry [03:22] |dthacker|, good q [03:22] b14ck, man wodim I am still to far behind technology to have a dvd burner but I would check out wodim. [03:22] blake: that's not a package on x86_64 [03:22] jason_, I don't know your issue, but with me, most of my samba problems happen when the same user doesn't exist on both machines, and make sure their password is the same on the two machines too. [03:22] how do i output to 1080p tv without the picture being bigger then the screen? [03:22] hello [03:22] did the restricted extras though. [03:22] markw, ok then 64bit issue ... sigh [03:22] ok [03:22] markw, you can install the 32bit package? [03:23] blake - I've never had that happen. I know the user must exist on the ubuntu machine where samba is housed at, but I've ALWAYS been able to log in as "jason" on my mac (where jason doesnt exist) along with my xp laptop (where jason doesnt exist) [03:23] luddite: i already have logged in, and i have already tried /etc/init.d/gdm stop & start [03:23] Has anyone installed the newest netbook version to a USB key and ran it from there? [03:23] any channel where i can get support for vlc media player ? [03:23] how do i config xorg xserver??? [03:23] blake: flash works, and pulse audio work, they just don't work together. [03:24] jason_, have you tried to connect to the samba share using Places -> Connect To Server -> Windows Share [03:24] just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04, my sound isn't working. the first few google links aren't helping here. anyone? [03:24] jason_, and fred has an smbpasswd created? [03:24] markw, flash player linux x64 is notorious for problems yes? [03:24] assem: are ur videos working ??? avi files [03:24] assem: cuz mine is not :( [03:24] blake: not sure, saw same problems on i386 [03:24] markw, using a proprietary program (flash) in an opensource world [03:24] blake - I'm not connecting from an ubuntu machine. I'm connecting from an XP computer. So I'll go to start - run - \\sambaserver and it shows up with the shares. Then I double click storage, it asks for name and password and I log in as fred accordingly. [03:24] cdubya - Yes, fred was ran with smbpasswd -a [03:24] blake: yes, I know, been doing this for a few years... [03:25] assem: the update reset AlsaMixer. Go into the sound volume controls and make sure everything is up. [03:25] murlidhar: my youtube videos are working through firefox... i don't have any avi videos to test though [03:25] especially the "line in" [03:25] blake: kinda like when adaptec relased the api to their scsi cards in the late 90's, all the problems just went away. [03:25] jason_, any way you can pastebin your smb.conf? [03:25] cdubya - whats the pastebin link? I'm not on my main rig... === jeiworth_ is now known as jeiworth [03:25] blake: I need to just get flash to output to pulseaudio and I think all will be fine. [03:25] what will adding acpi=off to the menu.lst alter as far as performance (trying to keep my computer from stopping during shutdown) [03:26] Burke9077: i got everything i see in volume control maxed out to test... [03:26] markw, to do that, you must tell flashplayer-plugin .. hmm [03:26] MK13, I never noticed a difference [03:26] luddite: when I stop & start gdm, my monitor turns off. i can still get to terminals. [03:26] doh... [03:26] hi [03:26] old .asoundrc laying around. [03:26] hum... that worked for me. [03:26] brb, going to HUP the desktop. :) [03:27] argh.. [03:27] sorry, but I am totally useless with sound [03:27] jdu: so it doesnt affect the computer much, i don't want it messing up energy comsumption etc. [03:27] my office just installed an UPS, i wonder if I should add anything to ubuntu to make use of the device? [03:27] flipping keymappings are next, no ctrl-alt-bkspc [03:27] jason_, paste.ubuntu.com [03:27] is there any one who can help me with some wireless issues on a thinkpad [03:27] was working under 8.10 now not AGAIN under new 9.04 [03:27] songbird can't watch more than 1 folders [03:27] seems to happene every version [03:27] that's plain stupid [03:28] Burke9077: do you use pulseaudio? just ALSA? [03:28] got a question ubuntu 8.10 when installed loaded my linksys pcmcia card and with worked fine, i went to 9.04 and now it does not see the pcmcia card [03:28] cdubya - http://paste.ubuntu.com/159768/ [03:28] MK13, I never looked into energy consumption differences. It is required by your bios, so probably it is better even though it may not be as effecient as more modern solutions. [03:28] assem: I only use Alsa [03:28] anyone got fallout 3 working on wine etc? [03:28] pm me if u got info about running it [03:28] bonjour, je débute, quelqu'un parle français ? [03:28] I have downloaded 9.04 and am eager to try it out on my fairly new acer one note. I wish to run it off a thumbdrive. Has anyone here done that, and is there somewhere I can get a thumbdrive ready to boot with out having to do all this install stuff? I just want to play with the jackalope and see what all the fun is about. [03:28] ... [03:28] assem: I still don't totally understand Ubuntu's handeling of the sound system yet. [03:29] Burke9077: yeah.. pulseaudio has been a problem for me in 8.10 - was hoping 9.04 had something better to offer [03:29] apparament personne ! [03:29] NETTOYEUR25, je parle anglais ;/ [03:29] does ubuntu got a gaming irc server? [03:29] hello [03:29] any one that can help with wireless here? [03:29] Guest08289 there is a thumbdrive version of ubuntu [03:30] ha, it appears to be the old .asoundrc probably from the 90's was the issue. [03:30] merci jdu [03:30] !ask mb___ [03:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask mb___ [03:30] both flash and totem working now. [03:30] jason_, you can get to it with your jason user?

[03:30] mb___ ask the question. someone will help if they can [03:30] (Ubuntu 8.10 ) hi there, my wife's machine has started to behave strangely since her updated from about 4 days ago... she can be in her usual default GNOME session and then *BLINK* it restarts X and puts her back to the GDM startup again, very strange. It's a crash of sorts because OpenOffice has to 'recover' the files that were open. [03:30] mb____ ask the question. someone will help if they can [03:30] cdubya - I wasn't really trying with jason, because of the issues I was having with fred. [03:30] tu veux savoir quoi nettoyeur25 ? [03:30] cdubya - I'm rebooting my xp laptop now, I'll try jason when it boots up. [03:30] Prior to the updates about 4~5 days ago things have been running 100% fine. [03:30] merci Photojim [03:31] QUESTION: How do I make CTRL+ALT+BKSP restart gdm just as it did in previous Ubuntu versions? [03:31] NETTOYEUR25: de rien [03:31] anyone here running an Acer Aspire 4520 or similar? [03:31] !info dontzap [03:31] dontzap (source: dontzap): Command line tool to set the DontZap option in xorg.conf. In component main, is optional. Version 0.1.2 (jaunty), package size 6 kB, installed size 124 kB [03:31] blake: that feature has been disabled [03:31] cdubya - do you see anything I did wrong though? I'm really confused as to what it could be. I also granted 770 permissions to /media/storage with owners being root:samba. Samba is a group I created that jason/fred are members of. [03:31] Anyone having troubles with Firefox 3.0.9 in X/K/Ubuntu? [03:31] MK13 god forbid [03:31] blake: y? [03:31] any ideas how to get the card back online or just run 8.10? [03:31] fc, I gather that much .. how do I enable? [03:31] So to remedy my "Boot error" problem, I downloaded and set up a SuperGrubDisk, and booted from it, but all I'm seeing is a blinking underscore. I'm guessing this means I did something rather wrong [03:31] how do I create a tar.gz that replace symoblic links by their target ? [03:31] MK13, sorry, jk [03:31] any ideas what that might be? [03:32] !dontzap > blake [03:32] blake, please see my private message [03:32] mn, ok, for somre reason, wireless seems to be present, it was working under 8.10, but after the upgrade, once again, it gets all screwed up. I have loaded ndis and the drivers, it still doesn't want to work. so my question is two fold, one) help? 2) why does it get screwed up every version? [03:32] jason_, it would be worthwhile to check...the reason I ask is something jumped out at me right away.....the browseable = yes is commented out on that share....I know before when I've used samba that has caused me issues when it wasn't setup. Things may have changed in the newer versions, but that's the thing that jumped out at me. [03:32] All I have is this - Apr 28 12:26:45 elita gdm[9767]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 [03:32] my Acer runs ubuntu fine, but i don't know what ACPI setting i should use [03:32] crdlb, (hug) [03:32] NINJ4 you should run a checksum on the .iso of supergrubdisk [03:32] grr, bad backup. ::begins reinstalling 8.10 from scratch:: [03:32] !hug > crdlb [03:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about hug [03:32] also msg me please [03:32] this is a headache follwing millions of lines of text [03:32] how can i check if my network/interfaces is correct and i now have a static ip [03:32] cdubya - I never edited browseable before...

[03:33] jason_, you could try making a backup of your existing smb.conf, then uncommenting the browseable = yes line in that share, then save and restart smb and see if you can see it.... [03:33] Anyone having troubles with Firefox 3.0.9 in X/K/Ubuntu? [03:33] mn what problem? [03:33] jason_, that may be all it is...... [03:33] mn: nope [03:33] jason_, but it's a place to start. [03:33] cdubya - I'll try that then. My main rig is actually down now due to a blown HDD.

Only thing is the way that Acer does with there restore it will be disabled, but can be re-enabled with great ease [03:38] crdlb: and what do i check for there? [03:38] lyhana: tar takes a -h/--dereference argument which might do what you want [03:38] bliZZardz: you'll see multiverse on the first tab [03:39] crdlb: there is no such tab. [03:39] * Guest08289 slaps JCM around a bit with a large trout [03:39] bliZZardz: no, you'll see it in the list you see after clicking the first tab [03:39] whenever I go to display options my computer get extremely slow for some reason..I never had that problem in 8.1 anyone else have that problem? [03:39] bliZZardz: unless you mean you don't have a first tab :) [03:39] * tfrew slaps Guest08289 around a bit with a large falcon punch to chuck norris roundhouse kick [03:40] cdubya - I don't get this. I created a samba group named samba and made jason and fred members of the group. /media/storage is owned by root:samba with 770 permissions. I'm in Ubuntu as jason, and when I browse to that it says permissions issue I cant view the contents. Yet when I change the ownership from root:samba to root:sambashare (sambashare was already existent on this system) then all of the sudden it works. How does the groups [03:40] samba and sambashare differ? [03:40] mzz: First tab is 'Ubuntu Software' and all are enabled. [03:40] s' on the subject?

[03:41] jc: what should I do in the mean time until 3.1 come out, because I don't know if I can deal with this for long [03:41] what happens is the files are owned by one group, you are letting random owners write out files as thier user name [03:41] you need to force user and force group [03:41] usser: mzz i tried this : tar -chvZ mastermind.tar.gz mastermind/ but fail [03:41] KyleK - it showed up immediately below on my screen. [03:41] so every file is stored with proper permissions [03:41] bliZZardz: so you should have python-profiler available, I do on both hardy and jaunty [03:41] lyhana: man tar says -h will "don’t dump symlinks; dump the files they point to" [03:41] usser: http://pastebin.com/d1b0548e4 [03:41] buenas noches [03:41] tfrew - So there isnt a difference between the samba group I created and the sambashare group that was already existent on the system.

[03:42] jason_: IRC clients echo exactly what you type, if you say something and the server completely ignores you, it'll show up on your screen [03:42] lyhana: well, that fails here because you don't have "f" in the options [03:42] usr13: not sure to understand [03:42] mucho gusto [03:42] soi gabo [03:42] jason: yes, the force group is in your smb.conf [03:42] lyhana: I thought that: tar czvf would follow symlinks, but not sure.

I'm trying to rename it something so that it appears as "FILES" in nautilus instead of "122.15GB Volume" [03:45] jason_, sorry, sounds like you got the answer? [03:45] usser: it is connected directly to the router [03:45] Media Issues: People need to remember that in the update the sources.list file was re-written, so the medibuntu repository would have been taken off, thus removing some restricted codexes.

[03:47] jason_, the groups [03:47] phatbastid, try mouting it with smbfs. ie sudo apt-get install smbfs [03:47] alexief: you can compile [03:47] none of videos are playing :( ....what is the probolem .. only sound plays now :( [03:47] alexief: like i just said, there is 64-bit java available, and it works just fine. review the steps you took for installing and try again [03:47] Are there X-Window commandline args that lets the app run in an alternate workspace? Something like this? -display unix:0 [03:47] I think the fix is to use SongBird :) [03:47] cdubya - No. I understand the force group tag. That's a tag I used on my main rig. I just simply wasn't sure if there was a difference in those groups. [03:47] usser: ok will do [03:48] phatbastid, and to mount sudo mout -t cifs //drivename/sharename /mnt -o user=yourusername [03:48] jason_, ah [03:48] umm i used add or remove to install jre [03:48] bliZZardz: you only need to update your package lists if you made a change in that software sources dialog [03:48] phatbastid, if that returns without errors your drive will be mounted to /mnt [03:48] Anyone know wat to do if my dvd drive gives me a Buffer I/O Error? [03:48] is the package i want java plugin 6.0? [03:48] what* [03:48] mikejet: X server doesn't understand the concept of workspaces, that is a construct created by window managers [03:48] cdubya - I think I'm gonna remove the shares, users, etc and restart this... because this doesnt make sense to me why it didnt work. Fred and jason had identical permissions yet jason worked and fred didnt. Now out of no where fred works. [03:48] How do you anonymously download Ubuntu 9.04? My ISP gets mad when I start it.... Is there a free alternative to IPREDator? [03:48] fryguy : Is there a way to launch an application in another workspace?

[03:49] Tors are WAY faster [03:49] bliZZardz: pastebin, that is [03:49] How do I make my xserver start without -nolisten? [03:49] mikejet: depends on what window manager you are using. The window manager I use has a set of hooks available for performing various actions. you can also look at devilspie for executing emwh type commands on windows as they are opened [03:49] crdlb: http://pastebin.com/m2500c57a [03:49] jcm> will I need to re-enter the wep keys?

It's been sometime since I dug into the conf, so sorry I couldn't be of more help. [03:50] crdlb: see any gotchas? [03:50] but i have no idea where that is at either, so is there a package in the ubuntu repos that is java support for 64bit ubuntu [03:50] Guest > yes as it will not bring these over and not sure if there is a way to do that from a windows to linux [03:50] Is there a different anoniminity service? [03:51] cdubya - It's all good. As I said, my main smb.conf is backed up. My main drive in my main computer is down. This is simply me playing with samba for more experience on my own accord. But I know once I get rolling with my new hard drive I just have to add users, add samba users, and paste the smb.conf and I'm back in biz.

[03:53] hrm, [03:53] Hey #ubuntu, pygtk is not working for me in 9.04. Starting programs that rely on it, like rhythmbox, results in a segfault after it tells me pygtk doesn't exist, when I have all the right packages installed [03:53] TheOtherHatter: OT? [03:53] i've downloaded the tar.gz2 of firefox 3.0.10 and uncompressed it, how do i install it now, it's just a folder [03:53] There GUI Tools to configure SMB, DNS, SQUID and others [03:53] sacarlson: yep ... i dunno what to do :( [03:53] bliZZardz: I would suggest trying the main ubuntu archives, but python-profiler does seem to be on that mirror [03:53] everything seems to match with my SuperGrubDisk, and I tried setting it up again but still nothing shows on booting [03:53] could anyone recommend a program that can convert avi to dvd format? [03:53] crdlb: how? [03:53] jason_ http://gadmintools.flippedweb.com/ [03:53] I'm sure it's just me doing something stupid, but is there another way to install grub? [03:53] Yomic, offtopic, this is a support channel. "Which is better" questions should go to the off topic channel [03:53] Hymnosis: I've heard Handbrake was good [03:53] preferably from the liveCD? [03:53] maybe it's... [03:53] i've been all over the GnomeDo wiki and it doesnt seem to say how to move the docky from bottom to top, not an option in preferences....anybody? [03:53] bliZZardz: software sources again :), see the "Download from" combobox [03:53] !which | Yomic [03:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about which [03:53] suspend/hibernate broken for anyone else; anyone know how to debug it / figure out how to fix it?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:54] Nice! [03:54] !better | Yomic [03:54] Yomic: please see above [03:54] crdlb: trying. [03:55] NINJ4: sudo grub then do find /boot/grub stage1 [03:55] Anyone done the change over from ext 3 to ext 4? [03:55] murlidhar: Error 15, File not found [03:55] Royall: hmm, what does python -c "import pygtk; print pygtk.__file__" say? [03:55] JCM - How do you execute Gadmin tools? I installed Gadmin tools samba from synaptic and Ic ant find it. [03:55] hey guys, since update to JJ my transparent terminal window is acting funny. It shows the desktop background even when it is on top of something else like firefox... anyone know what's up with that? [03:55] crdlb: ImportError: No module named pygtk [03:55] NINJ4: do a google search on error 15 grub ... u will know why it happens [03:56] NINJ4: did you try reinstalling grub? [03:56] kesiode: you don't have compositing turned on [03:56] jason_ gsambad [03:56] Royall: hmm, how about this?: python -c "import gtk; print gtk.__file__" [03:56] fryguy, how do I enable that? I don't see it in the settings [03:56] IndyGunFreak: trying to find the best way to do that, Super Grub Disk doesn't seem to want to work for me [03:56] JCM - it's not in the menu anywhere? [03:56] murlidhar: doing that now [03:56] NINJ4: can u follow the steps i said or need my help [03:56] kesiode: under desktop effects [03:56] Been having issue with Proftpd all day, No matter what I do I cant seem to see directories listed even though I add user and permissions, even using the GUI. [03:56] JCM - gsambad and sudo gsambad wont work. [03:56] NINJ4: do you know how you lost grub? [03:57] IndyGunFreak: upgrading to 9.04 from 8.10 [03:57] crdlb: ImportError: No module named gtk [03:57] no warnings/errors [03:57] just no booting [03:57] jason_ I install it from the site (*.deb) and it makes a entry, but you can type by pressing Alt-F2 [03:57] Royall: one last check: command -v python [03:57] NINJ4: try following 1-6.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub [03:58] crdlb: /usr/local/bin/python [03:58] fryguy, I'm unable to change those settings, it just says [03:58] fryguy, Desktop effects could not be enabled [03:58] Royall: well, there's your problem, you've got a custom python install :) [03:58] IndyGunFreak: step 4 requires me to find /boot/grub/stage1 [03:58] kesiode: then you need to get a correct 3d driver installed [03:58] which I can't :( [03:58] fryguy, why would it work before the upgrade? [03:58] NINJ4: did you do it before, from a grub prompt, or a ergular prompt? [03:59] JCM - whered you find the deb package? It linked me to a totally different site when I clicked on the deb for samba. [03:59] crdlb: any way to... install it generically? Uncustomly? [03:59] NINJ4: did it find the when u did find /boot/grub/stage1 ? [03:59] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/262251 [03:59] IndyGunFreak: grub prompt [03:59] ok [03:59] Royall: just remove the copy you manually installed (ie from source) to /usr/local [03:59] no, it has not yet found /boot/grub/stage1 [03:59] kesiode: because you had a driver correctly installed then [03:59] every time I try to do that step, it returns error 15 [03:59] kesiode: and driver support changes with different versions of operating systems [04:00] NINJ4: did you see what it said, to do if you get Error 15 [04:00] crdlb: no avail. [04:00] jason_ http://gadmintools.flippedweb.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=30#Installation [04:00] fryguy, okay.. so how do I do this? I'm sort of new to linux. There's nothing listed for graphics under Hardware drivers [04:00] crdlb: didnt help either. [04:00] JCM - yes. I clicked that link under debian package and went to a completely diff site. [04:00] jason_ It's almost to the bottom with the Mandrive [04:00] kesiode: sorry, I don't really feel like walking somebody through installing basic drivers [04:00] who needs help tonight [04:00] IndyGunFreak, only what murlidhar told me to do, which was google it, so now I'm going to try these steps: 42088eb880baa5477b6798c2855f7e79 [04:00] crdlb: so move /python/ from /usr/local/bin/ to /usr/local/? or just remove it alltogether? [04:00] Magician: lol [04:00] fryguy, gee thanks. [04:00] raggh [04:00] i know right [04:00] wrong paste [04:00] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=862235 [04:00] JCM - that's what I clicked.... [04:01] NINJ4: no, on that link I give you.. it says "If you get Error 15, try the following" [04:01] JCM - then it goes to seer of souls.com... [04:01] NINJ4: Grub has installed wrong boot instructions, pointing to wrong drive probably. In other words, the files are not being found where grub has said they would be. [04:01] Could somebody help me figure out how to install a graphics driver? According to fryguy, that's my problem but apparently he's too high and mighty to help me. [04:01] oooh [04:01] so it does, IndyGunFreak [04:01] Magician: how can I enable ssh publickeys that don't have passphrases in 9.04 so they behave like they did in 8.10 [04:01] keslode pm me [04:01] my bad, I will try that first [04:01] kesiode: lol, sorry you feel that way [04:01] NINJ4: hd0,1 needs to be changed to hd0,0 or something like that. [04:02] jason_ one sec they changed something [04:02] are you trying to connect to a server or setup your own [04:02] JCM - thank you. [04:02] NINJ4: sudo grub-install /dev/sda [04:02] NINJ4: :) [04:02] Royall: removing the executables starting with 'python' in /usr/local/bin should be enough, I guess [04:02] Magician: connect to a server, using keys that have already been created. when i updated to 9.04 i started getting prompted for a passphrase (there is no passphrase associated with the keys) [04:02] can anyone here open millerautoteam.com in firefox? [it dumps the app here with a GTK Error, don't try unless you don't care about what's open] [04:02] IndyGunFreak: no good, find /grub/stage1 is still error 15 [04:02] murlidhar: trying that now [04:03] NINJ4: ok [04:03] that is odd [04:03] How do I rename a mounted volume? It always appears as "122.16 GB Media" in Nautilus [04:03] hold on let me look through my bug reports [04:03] blake: what filesystem? [04:03] i want to download soqt from the repositories, but i am having problems doing that - every time i do it, it tries to install qt3, whereas i need it to be with qt4 [04:03] anyone? [04:03] crdlb: OH DUDE you're the greatest thanks so much [04:03] murlidhar: Probing device to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long tie. Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device [04:03] Magician: there are no bug reports filed about it, the closest relationship is seahorse losing registered keys on an acpi action, which isn't related to me because i'm not using seahorse, and i'm not doing an acpi action in between. [04:03] bliZZardz: are you sure you're spelling python-profiler right? :) [04:03] blake: It is a usb drive with vfat filesystem? [04:03] jason_ hmm that is strange I would just download the tar file and using the Autoinstall file. [04:04] NINJ4: hmmmm [04:04] bah... apt is unhappy, what's the dpkg command to rebuild after a crash mid-install/removal ? [04:04] NINJ4: how many hard disks do u have ? [04:04] crdlb: :). no mistakes there [04:04] only one internal HDD [04:04] Does ubuntu have a blacklist for programs that should never be upgraded? [04:04] crdlb: "sudo apt-cache search python-profiler" -- same. [04:04] Been having issue with Proftpd all day, No matter what I do I cant seem to see directories listed even though I add user and permissions, even using the GUI. [04:04] why is ruby not in my synaptic package manager? [04:05] JCM - I always hated doing stuf ffrom the tar. It's never consistent. But I installed gadmin tools samba from synaptic, it's in the repos. Why cant I find it? [04:05] murlidhar: only one internal HDD, one external USB drive that I'm disconnecting now [04:05] tonsofpcs usr13 : it's a ext2 I just made ... evidently I can't WRITE to it either. Can ya help? [04:06] jason_ this one isn't like that, you just have to run ./Autoinstall [04:06] crdlb: wierd. now am getting it. [04:06] Onyx: I think you can highlight the package in Synaptic, then go to "Package" and check "Lock Version" === badfish69 is now known as drinkycrow [04:07] crdlb: it needed a server from india :P . not sure why it didnt work on the main one. [04:07] usr13: Ahhh, exactly what I was looking for -- thank you :D [04:07] Onyx: NP [04:07] jason_ just do a "sudo ./Autoinstall" from within the untar directory and that is all it will take. It's not like the ./configure make make install :) [04:07] * fryguy sits and waits for 8.10 reinstall to finish [04:07] still seems odd I have know pharaphrase needed when i log [04:08] usr13: It was absolutely necessary after downgrading amarok to 1.4 that it never be upgraded to 2+ again, lol [04:08] I have a ext2 partition. How do I mount it as read/write?? === FoxBlitzz is now known as FoxBlitzz_ [04:08] JCM - I see it now. Just installed it. [04:08] hey guys, so I'm still on gutsy gibbon and obviously the support for that has stopped. Is upgrading to hardy heron a pretty painless process or should I just start from scratch? [04:08] JCM - btw it's under applications - system tools. That's why I couldnt find it! [04:08] beej pm me [04:08] blake: add rw to line in fstab file [04:08] blake: mount it like you would any other unix filesystem, the file permissions are internal [04:09] Beej: it depends how long you want to spend updating [04:09] Beej, thats a pretty big jump, Id re roll a new install [04:09] anyone help with no sound (pulseaudio) after upgrade from 8.10? everything acts like it's playing but there's just no sound... [04:09] blake: what are you trying to do? (We need more specific info on your issue.) [04:10] jason_ Great I'm not on the server and couldn't remember exactly where it was. It's got a lot going for it. [04:10] fryguy, usr13: I tried mount -o rw /dev/sda3 /media/sda3 and it still is read only [04:10] Ok, next problem: My graphics card seems to be blacklisted from Compiz after updating to 9.04. Is there any way to make compiz not only start on boot like it used to, but run with an automatic SKIP_CHECKS=yes ? [04:10] assem: it sounds stupid, but every time I upgrade I forget to turn up the volume in the mixer. Try that? [04:10] hey guys how do you logout to drop to a console? [04:10] JCM - I was previously using system-config-samba (from the repos). It's nice, but EXTREMELY basic. This gadmin tools is looking to be fantastic. Thanks for the tip man! [04:10] usr13: I made a blank ext2 partition in gparted. I want to use it as file storage. I can mount it and see a lost+found folder, but I can't make any files. [04:10] crdlb: thanks. worked. [04:11] NINJ4: i got everything maxed out (as far as i can tell?)... im waiting to be scared to death by joyous sounds [04:11] w3rd_, ctrl+alt+f4 [04:11] blake: what are the permissions on the mounted partition. the permissions are filewise on the partition, how you mount it isn't going to change those [04:11] NINJ4: i have to go now .. take cares and all the best [04:11] bye all [04:11] bye [04:11] take cares all [04:11] thanks for the help murlidhar [04:11] np [04:11] murlidhar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:11] blake pastebin output of mount and cat /etc/fstab and sudo fdisk -l [04:11] fryguy: ok then how do I change permissions for / on the disk? [04:11] Not a problem I like it. Much better than going through the smb.conf and hoping you have it all done right. [04:11] blake: use chmod [04:12] does anyone know what could cause a grub failure and nothing but "Boot error" to appear on boot after an otherwise successful upgrade to 9.04? [04:12] blake: If it is file ownership problem you can chown it. [04:12] ninja4 pm me [04:12] Go to run have a good night all [04:13] usr13, fryguy: I did "sudo chown blake:blake /media/sda3" now I can write files to it =) thanks for your push [04:13] fryguy: What blake is shaying is that the volume is being mounted ro and not rw [04:13] blake: Ok very good. [04:13] usr13: he's mounting it rw, so says the command line he pasted [04:13] fryguy, apparently it was mounted rw ... the mount folder didn't have my permissions, it was root:root [04:14] Everytime I enter my WPA2 Key on ubuntu to connect to my local network it fails and when I click "Show Key" it's completely different. [04:14] fryguy: blake very well. The issue was ownership not rw VS ro [04:14] because i had to do "sudo mkdir /media/sda3" so it made the folder as root, not blake.... duh (stoner) fryguy usr13 [04:14] ...nvm [04:14] It just connected. [04:14] thx! [04:14] how can i enable music applet on the panel? [04:15] i already installed it via apt-get install music-applet [04:15] nseltzer, haha ... the ascii password converts to hexadecimal, thats why it's different. glad it works tho [04:15] blake: You should just put a line in /etc/fstab to mount it for you if it is an internal drive. === wrwefrg is now known as cwo_pgn_ANU_cwe [04:15] hello [04:16] usr13, please can you give me a line for my fstab, I'm VERY rusty (been using Linux for 10+ years but haven't used it in a while and im currently incapacitated) [04:16] usr13, its just an ext2 on /dev/sda3 [04:16] Is there a cmd-line program that let's me send a GTK2 message to a X program, to send it to another workspace? [04:17] can anyone tell me if this will work for jaunty904 [04:17] mikejet: devilspie can probably accomplish what you want [04:17] http://soccerislife8.wordpress.com/2008/02/06/how-to-enable-compiz-on-ubuntu-710-if-your-graphics-card-is-blacklisted/ [04:17] pardon me, i am starting using ubuntu, can someone tell me how to make a compaq presario f700 work wireless [04:17] anyone know of a good guide to setting a static ip [04:17] blake: /dev/sda3 /media/sda3 ext2 user,rw 0 0 [04:17] what would be a command on the CLI to disable compiz effects completely down to nothing [04:17] pardon me, i am starting using ubuntu, can someone tell me how to make a compaq presario f700 work wireless <-- what wireless driver does it use [04:17] JCM - you still here? [04:18] blake: or /dev/sda3 /media/sda3 auto user,rw 0 0 [04:18] mikejet, yes this is it: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ =) [04:18] Joel: metacity --replace [04:18] usr13, thx [04:18] (hug) [04:18] anyone know anything about the new netbook remix? [04:18] blake: NP [04:18] is there a music applet available for 9.04? [04:19] i found for any laptop users that cant ubuntu to run correctly that the netmix usb works great [04:19] well as far as i know this network card uses a driver of the manufacturer [04:19] syntax\, for the panel? what audio player do you want the applet for [04:19] but its not working [04:19] rhythmbox sir [04:19] has anyone got the wireless working on the ubuntu netbook remix on an acer aspire one? [04:19] i already did apt-get install music applet [04:19] well as far as i know this network card uses a driver of the manufacturer <-- I have compaq presario C700 series, and have no idea what yours uses [04:19] i already did apt-get install music-applet [04:19] syntax\, please use my name when replying. Yes, there is a panel applet, please hold =] [04:19] fryguy: window manager error: unable to open X display [04:20] syntax\, ah, I see... ok there is another way. [04:20] wrektjet, you have to add five lines to your /etc/network/interfaces file iface address network netmask broadcast [04:20] Joel: so then export a correct DISPLAY variable [04:20] blake: should i uninstall it 1st? [04:20] the one i just downloaded? [04:20] fryguy: err, what? [04:20] syntax\, you installed music-applet package? [04:20] jtholmes, i did that b4. how do i correctly reset the the file [04:20] Joel: set the DISPLAY environment variable correctly [04:20] Does anyone know of an application that's just like DVD Shrink 3.2 was for windows? [04:20] syntax\, and it doesn't appear in +Add To Panel ? [04:21] handbrake [04:21] fryguy: err, how? [04:21] nope [04:21] wrektjet, paste what you put into interfaces [04:21] i installed it at the terminal [04:21] Joel: export DISPLAY [04:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/159784/ [04:21] @ blake [04:21] that's the name of the application? [04:21] Joel, Export DISPLAY="whatever you want it to be" [04:21] yes [04:21] Joel: just like you'd set any other environment variable [04:21] blake: i installed it via command line, apt-get install music-applet [04:21] syntax\, ok now add it to your panel, by right-clicking on the panel and ADD [04:22] jj308: k9copy [04:22] i live [04:22] \lol [04:22] blake: should i type music applet? because there's no music applet available [04:22] do you know which one is better? handbrake or k9copy? [04:23] blake: you said there's another way? how can i do that. [04:23] syntax\, I just installed music-applet package, now I can add "Music Applet" from the panel menu [04:23] jtholmes, http://paste.ubuntu.com/159784/ [04:23] jj308: i found k9copy hard to figure out [04:23] blake: how did you installed it? [04:23] syntax\, I'm using a fresh version of 9.04, and the panel applet works. [04:23] or you can try devede which does any format to dvd [04:23] syntax\, sudo apt-get install music-applet [04:23] erm [04:23] "works for me" [04:23] syntax: works for me too [04:23] blake: how come it doesnt appear for me.

YOU OWE ME A WATTERMELLON [04:24] jj308: k9copy is tailored to shrinking a dvd9 to a dvd5. I don't recall if you can edit menus the way you could in dvdshrink. handbrake has a great reputation, but I don't recall if it has a gui, and its a more general tool i think, ie it will convert between formats. Do some googling & then come back and tell us.... [04:24] * freehood4all goes to get a watermellon for blake [04:24] freehood4all, cold one plz [04:24] demanding you are. [04:24] jj308: oh, dvdshrink3.2 works ok under wine.... [04:25] will do, thanks [04:25] hungry i am [04:25] what's under wine? [04:25] losher jj308 gratz on solving last #ubuntu question EVER [04:25] anybody use gadmintools for samba? [04:25] Hello. Can anyone tell me if there's a special channel for dealing with differences between Fedora and Ubuntu? I just switched from Fedora to Jaunty and stuff I used to know how to do doesn'r work quite the same way [04:25] nevermind... [04:25] I have a spinner in front of my laptop that controls sound. Any way I can disable it? [04:25] what do people think of the new indicator applet? [04:25] how would i find my dns in ubuntu 9.04? [04:25] Canaen, Like it +1 [04:26] i want to know what it is [04:26] jj308: he means that you can run dvdshrink in linux by using WINE [04:26] I only want to control sound via the sound icon [04:26] mythbuster1848: Just ask here... === Tetracomm is now known as fuzzygentoo [04:26] Wine is the best [04:26] wrektjet, ok add the following lines network 10.0.0.0 and broadcast 10.0.0.255 and it should work you will have to start and stop networking [04:26] I see [04:26] Hi. I have a problem with regard to upgrading to 9.04. My laptop is currently running on 8.04 and for nearly two months now, I haven't updated anything. Problem is, when I run Update Manager, everything fails: indexes are not read/available, and so on, and thus, no updates can be done. How do I correct this problem? Thanks. [04:26] jj308: wine is an emulator that runs under linux and lets you run many (but by no means all) windows apps [04:26] *correct that- i want to find out what my DNS using a GUI utility in ubuntu 9.04* [04:26] mythbuster1848: Many of us know RH / Debian differences. [04:26] On Fedora, I used to run Ktorrent headless, on Xvfb [04:26] ckw, depends on your laptop, you'll have to find some fix on Google (search your model name and add the word linux at the end) [04:26] soooo [04:26] anyone know how to get the wireless working in ubuntu? === [1]Orc is now known as Orc [04:27] mythbuster1848 one word rtorrent... it's the shit [04:27] atomx: whats your wireless device [04:27] I have the ubuntu netbook remix [04:27] I installed Xvfb from the Ubuntu repositories, and now it's giving me grief [04:27] ckw, you can also try changing the Keyboard Shortcuts for you media buttons. [04:27] will rtorrent give me a webUI? [04:27] atomx and the netbook is? [04:27] I'm new to Ubuntu, I don't think I have a linxus operating system [04:27] I don't know if my Xvfb problems are a configuration thing or a Jaunty bug [04:27] mythbuster1848: there is plenty of gui's for rtorrent [04:27] gogeta: it's an acer aspire one [04:27] Hi. I have a problem with regard to upgrading to 9.04. My laptop is currently running on 8.04 and for nearly two months now, I haven't updated anything. Problem is, when I run Update Manager, everything fails: indexes are not read/available, and so on, and thus, no updates can be done. How do I correct this problem? Thanks. [04:28] jj308: linux is the kernel ubuntu runs on [04:28] jj308: If you have Ubuntu installed then you are running a Linux kernal thus you're running Linux [04:28] jj308: Yes you do... ubuntu is a supplier of linux [04:28] I accidentally set bash to emacs mode, how do i turn it to normal? [04:28] so if you have a ubuntu box, you are on linux [04:28] gogeta: most of the aspire ones, have an ar242x.. it should work out of the box.. what version of netbook remix did you download [04:28] jj308 ubuntu is linux [04:28] mythbuster1848: don't think so. google it & then come back & tell us the answer [04:28] " Wine is the best" oh yeah? [04:28] Ok, thanks, learning :) [04:28] thomasite: in the options you have to enable extra updates, since you are using an LTS release it won't update to in between releases by default [04:28] IndyGunFreak: I have the latest version [04:28] atomx: see my message above. [04:28] i have linux; do i have a ubuntu? [04:29] IndyGunFreak: it has the arthos driver installed [04:29] jj308: You might like to install the wine package and try running a windows program. [04:29] wait, I have Ubuntu so does that mean I can run Windows? [04:29] atomx: open a terminal and type "lsb_release -a" no quotes, and tell us the output [04:29] blake: It is sufficient for playing WoW which is the only thing I really use it for, although it was a slight bit of issue getting it up and running but I got it to run three apps that I need successfully. [04:29] so I should just download DVD shrink from the net like I did when I had Windows? [04:29] jj308: You can sure try and it may work [04:29] atomx well worst case you use ndiswrapper and the windows driver [04:29] Ante_Smith, It can play notepad.exe perfectly [04:29] need help with my sound. i dont have any sound [04:29] !dist-upgrade | thomasite [04:29] thomasite: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:29] Do I find the wine package in the apps list? [04:29] fryguy: where do I enable that? [04:29] blake: Lmao, that it can sir. That it can. [04:29] !wine | jj308 [04:29] jj308: 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 [04:29] SirStan, cat /etc/lsb-release to see [04:29] jj308: yes, and install wine on Ubuntu. It works quite well... [04:29] does anyone know how to change bash off the emacs mode [04:30] gogeta: he shouldn't need ndiswerapper, he either has a ar242x, or he has a realtek.. the atheros, should work out of the box [04:30] lanzelloth: set -o vi [04:30] usr13: there's nothing in the UpgradeNotes that mention about the failed index something. :( [04:30] IndyGunFreak: 9.04 [04:30] lanzelloth, set -i vi raw for vi mode [04:30] indygunfreak depends some use a rallink [04:30] blake: Are you a long time user? How far back? [04:30] gogeta: i was just aout to mention that [04:30] ok, BRB [04:30] they need nds [04:30] jtholmes, is there a command i cvan use to restart the interrfaces file [04:30] atomx: type "lspci" in a terminal, and see how it id's your wireless device [04:31] latest chipsets do [04:31] collier_s, jtholmes that turns it to vi mode [04:31] trying the newest magic revision :-/ [04:31] or has the bash always been in vi mode by default?? [04:31] Perhaps I unintentionally changed the way Update Manager connects to the internet. How do I reset that? Thanks! [04:31] how about "sudo networking restart" [04:31] Ante_Smith, I was programming my Commodore 64 in 1987 [04:31] IndyGunFreak: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

[04:32] blake: Aaah you're a veteran. You actually use unix and not so much a linux kernal? [04:32] Message: Could not download all repository indexes. The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct. [04:32] anyone know how to setup intel sound card to work ? [04:32] blake: I was writing fortran in 1987....

[04:32] IndyGunFreak: I would assume it does but it won't connect to my wireless, and it won't pull up either of my wireless devices [04:32] Ante_Smith, No, I started using Linux during kernel version 1.2 [04:32] Where do I change settings? Please help me. Thanks. [04:32] gogeta: possibly, but completely unecessary [04:32] lanzelloth, you dont want vi mode?

Ok... sorry... [04:44] phatbastid: So it's fixed now?...? [04:44] jtholmes, Any idea how to fix it? [04:44] hrmph [04:44] atomx they work but there slow i suggest getting nids and using the windows driver [04:44] What's the rdp client called? [04:44] usr13: yes i chose another playback device and it works [04:45] jj308: I seem to recall it being hard to find. I thought you already had a copy from windows [04:45] phatbastid: Very well. [04:45] so anyone here own a System76 desktop? and care to talk to me about the purchase and support they offer? [04:45] mottikins, does the google have a launchpad bug number attached like a 6 digit bug number or 5 digits [04:45] my eee 900a has the same chip [04:45] gogeta: ok I will look into that, can you give a link perhaps?

Ever get into AOHell (AOL hacking) [04:46] gogeta: no for nids [04:46] jj308: that was brave of you. Some might even say foolhardy.... [04:46] AOHell was awsome [04:46] hehe [04:46] I put into the google search % wine dvdshrink3.2.exe and it came up with a scary looking website as my first choice [04:46] blake: who me... no, never *winkwink* :P [04:46] ndiswrapper its in apt [04:46] anybody know how to resize software raid?

[04:48] tecky, we actually made a bluebox and thought we were "Elite" [04:48] "eleet" [04:48] jj308: the tech guy at work has gotten 3 different girls pregnat with that line [04:48] !offtopic [04:48] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:48] i love the ubuntu [04:48] usr13: only thing i need to work now is my ability to login to my netdrive dns 323 [04:48] losher !WOW!

[04:49] losher: Among others. [04:50] mottikins, then go to launchpad.net and sign up it is free and you can then look at bug reports. the one you are looking at says it has a workaround so you can look at the bug and see what they say. if you need help i will be glad to after you have the launchpad id [04:50] what's get right files downloader? that popped up after I downloaded that [04:50] phatbastid: What is this "netdrive"? [04:51] Does it plugin via USB cable? [04:51] blake: waS able to make it work. i restarted my machine ^^ [04:51] Rafael_ : go to live cd, mount your raid volumes, chroot into them, and apt-get all the raid tools [04:51] the installer is broken [04:51] phatbastid: Does it plugin via USB cable? [04:51] it is a hardrive enclosure that shows up in my places but wont let me login [04:51] Flannel: I object to your accusation of being off-topic. I think it's very on-topic to point out that just because some tech guy says it;s good is a poor reason to wipe windows off your hard drive and install Ubuntu [04:51] plugs into my router cat5 [04:51] the ubuntu live disk can mount it [04:51] jtholmes, done [04:51] jj308: no idea. Sounds like spam... [04:52] phatbastid: It is password protected? [04:52] yes [04:52] the info doesnt seem to work [04:52] works with live disk though so must be possible [04:52] hey, i installed jaunty, then installed nvidia drivers, now X wont start. how do i revert to original Xconfig? [04:52] hopefully someone can give me a quick pointer to viewing a text file in hex, via cmd line? I'm trying to see the EOL chars [04:52] okay, I think it's time to get out the fan [04:53] mottikins, ok go to launchpad.net tell me when you are there [04:53] I'm there [04:54] Try mounting it using something like: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=your-username //server-ip-or-hostname/sharename /mount/point [04:54] mottikins, you see the dialog box next to the search launchpad text [04:54] phatbastid: Try mounting it using something like: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=your-username //server-ip-or-hostname/sharename /mount/point [04:54] cifs [04:54] jtholmes, Yeah, I d [04:54] do [04:54] how do you return your system to the default xconfig? is it an dpkg-reconfigure command? [04:55] Nautilus__, its going to be \012 [04:55] mottikins, type 274424 in that box and press Enter [04:55] hooker: ? [04:55] hi, im having trouble making my soundcard work on ubuntu9.04, my sound card is soundmax ac97, do you guys know where i could read some tutorials on how to fix this, i have a volume control. but no sound is being produced. [04:55] I just upgraded to 9.04 and in firefox there's shadows around search boxes and buttons. Is this the way it is? [04:55] err... h00k: ? [04:55] dutch: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [04:56] mottikins, u see the list that displayed [04:56] usr13: thanks ill try that out. much appreciated [04:56] Nautilus__, that is the EOL character [04:56] Yeah [04:56] dutch: NP [04:56] Nautilus__, \n or \012 [04:56] AGH [04:56] lol [04:56] \n isnt hex [04:56] jtholmes, Sorry about that I have both of my computers side by side [04:56] whats the command to try starting x again? `gdm`? [04:57] Okay, then. [04:57] dutch: /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:57] usr13: awesome, you are a life-saver [04:57] gizmobay, not for me. What themes you using? default? [04:57] mottikins, the top entry should be the bug number you need to look at [04:57] usr13: no luck oh well guess ubuntu not ready yet see you next year [04:57] What is the command to instantly lock your screen? [04:58] mottikins, bug 274424 right [04:58] ante-smith: ctrl+alt+l [04:58] jtholmes, yes [04:58] phatbastid: the command I gave you was hypothetical. [04:58] lstarnes: Thank you. [04:58] usr13: not sure if youd know this, but if i installed the nvidia drivers, how would i uninstall them from the commandline? [04:58] thanks blake, I was using default but the tabs looked bad so I switched to Aero Silver Fox Minimal [04:58] usr13: i installed smbfs then tried to moun it that way but no dice [04:59] mottikins, select that link it will take u to the bug and you can read thru the comments until you get to the workaround and then try the workaround, i have no idea if it works but it is there [04:59] mottikins, write down you launchpad id and pw so you can access other launchpad bugs when necessary [04:59] usr13: where do i setup my workgroup name ? [04:59] Are any of you having weird hang ups with Jaunty? [05:00] my motherboard has an integrated Radeon X1250, would I be better off using the radeonhd driver instead of the generic radeon driver? [05:00] i have flashplayer-nonfree installed, but firefox refuses to work... [05:00] phatbastid: Did you plug in the ip address and the user-name and all that? === [1]Orc is now known as Orc [05:01] QUESTION: If I needed to open up port 36102 how would I do it ?? [05:01] phatbastid: Try mounting it using something like: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username= //192.168.x.x/ // [05:01] it's open unless you have a firewall installed [05:02] blake: As freehood4all says, all ports are open by default unless you have installed firewall software to block some ports. [05:03] usr13, freehood4all, thanks [05:03] usr13, freehood4all, I thought they were all closed by default with iptables (incomming connections) [05:04] blake, yeah, all ports are open, if you want a firewall, lemme suggest firestarter, it has a GUI that works quite well, and allows openning ports an all that in a rather easy manner [05:05] i have flashplayer-nonfree installed, but firefox refuses to plat movies... any ideas? [05:05] rdw200169, thanks I've used firestarter. I just thought that was a frontend for iptables. [05:05] jtholmes, it seems not to work, but I will restart just in case. [05:05] blake, yeah, thats what it is! [05:05] blake: iptables is not a firewall application. Firewall applications use iptables rules to build firewall rules. [05:05] blake: You can use command netstat -pantu [05:05] blake, i just find that it works very well, and for normal desktop use its tops as far as i'm concerned [05:06] blake: netstat -pantu to see what ports are open and what services are listening on those ports [05:06] i'm trying to edit my PS1 in .bashrc there's a var color_prompt where did that come from? [05:06] usr13, netstat -pantu is very usefull, thank you [05:06] Updating my wife's computer from 8.10 to 9.04, and it's stuck at the end of the "Getting new packages"; apparently it has retrieved everything it claims to need, but it is not proceeding to the next stage. If I cancel and try again, will it still have the packages it has already downloaded? [05:06] hi I just hosted an install fest at my place and almost all went well except for one lappy whose volume keys altered the wrong volume setting (surround instead of master or pcm) [05:06] Gartral1: check if adobe-flashplayer is installed [05:06] usr13: cant seem to change directory to the mount [05:07] How would I go about formatting an SD card to fat32? [05:07] i tried to right click the sound options and select another as the default to control but it didnt behave the same in 9.04 as it has in the past versions [05:07] blake: I know that some call iptables a firewall, but that is not an accurate statement. [05:07] any ideas how to set this manually [05:07] phatbastid: Why not? What error do you get? (Did you get it mounted?) [05:08] how can i add the computer shortcut to my desktop? [05:08] BiosElement: first find the device it is, most likely one of /dev/sd[a-z]. Type "mount" and make sure you find it and not one of your hard drives. [05:08] give example of mount point [05:08] bah [05:08] kbrosnan: error: cant find package [05:08] ok, i checked out avidemux for command line conversion mpg->mp3, but it doesn't work. avidemux_cli seems to be the option, but when i run it, program not found. regular avidemux works, but GTK can't display the GUI b/c Im logging in by ssh. Any suggestions? Esp by [05:08] syntax\: What is a "computer shortcut"? [05:08] jejones, I got that down. [05:08] well i've installed kubuntu-desktop in ubuntu and it seems like the fonts and grapchics are not running properly..so i think i want to shift to kde completely for compatibility issues of gtk etc..so how can i remove gnome ? [05:08] like my user and a folder called netdrive [05:09] i tried to mount it to a folder in my user folder [05:09] syntax\, drag it from Places menu onto your desktop [05:09] syntax\, i think i know what you're talking about. the icon on the desktop that takes you to your 'Computer' right? i.e. Nautilus. [05:09] is there an application that lets me see and adjust the driver the video card is using? [05:09] syntax\, yeah, what blake suggests is easy. i was gonna suggest ubuntu-tweak. it does a rather good job for adding that strange stuff to the desktop via gconf === pete_ is now known as Guest13521 [05:10] BiosElement: Then once you have chosen (and set up with fdisk if need be) the partition, use mkfs with the appropriate -t option for the file system you want.

[05:11] Gartral1: Try: apt-cache search flashplayer === pace_t_zulu_ is now known as pace_t_zulu [05:11] rdw200169, okay teach them how to fish salmon only then =] [05:11] cod for me [05:11] Geoffrey2: I've been looking for how to start it, but I know that if you screw up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file enough, when you reboot, the X video driver program comes up and you can test different driver/monitor combinations [05:12] has anyone had the experience of running Ubuntu on Vbox? [05:12] brand0con, "how do you change the sound interface the volume keys control" ? [05:12] imatech: yes [05:12] usr13: flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound... [05:12] blake, sometimes, people just want solutions, not the metaphysical ramifications that explain its existence [05:12] Gartral1: There you go.... [05:12] brand0con, media keys (buttons that control play/stop/volume) ? [05:12] I'm having a lot of latency accessing my setup via RDP... [05:13] blake: yes [05:13] rdw200169, gconf-editor. I win. =] [05:13] brand0con, Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts [05:13] blake: tried that [05:13] What's the XWindows script name that gets executed once the desktop is running, and all workspaces created? [05:13] blake, sure, send people down the path that led them away from windows in the first place, the registry [05:13] blake: they were programmed properly there. they work, they just dont control the correct volume. they defaulted to surround [05:13] usr13: its also already installed and up to date [05:13] Gartral1: So from that, we assume that you can do: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:14] maybe I'll install kmix for him and selecting master channel is straightforward [05:14] if all else fails [05:14] koshar1: I'm having a lot of latency with vbox setup [05:14] Gartral1: Guess it doesn't work: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree [05:14] usr13: all of these are up to date, but firefox isnt seeing them [05:14] koshar1: know anything about that? [05:15] Koshar1; it's more of an Remote desktop issue I believe [05:16] Gartral1: See that you've done all your updates, (see that firefox is up-to-date): sudo apt-get upgrade firefox [05:16] upgrade or update? [05:16] @usr13 [05:16] Gartral1: ANd then maybe re-install flashplugin-nonfree i.e. sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree === _Ranakah is now known as Ranakah [05:17] Gartral1: Upgrade [05:17] usr13: upgrade or update? [05:17] usr13: its up to date [05:18] Gartral1: Ok now re-install flashplugin-nonfree and see if it works. [05:19] Gartral1: Close any firefox browser windows b4 installing flashplugin-nonfree [05:19] so in the latest version of ubuntu ctr alt + backspace does not exit X anymore? [05:20] dingleberry: By default, correct. You can turn it back on if you'd like though. [05:20] Flannel, how? [05:20] so with releases, is how Jaunty is now, the way it will always be? i.e. the .iso you download today, the same exact one it will be a year from now? [05:20] swoody: Correct. Although there will be updates in the repositories. [05:20] swoody: Yes [05:21] swoody: The only releases that get iso refreshes are LTS releases.

[05:27] Gartral1: The flashplugin, that is [05:27] u83rmensch, hell no [05:27] i shouldnt think so [05:27] u83rmensch, it's less than a gig. [05:27] Lafitte-: Very good. [05:27] usr13: edit smb.conf added a line making it use lanman auth [05:27] Gartral1: Maybe also /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ [05:27] <_JECKEL_> using it right now. but I noticed not everything works. Like Wifi-radar, it installs but the GUI for it doesn't pop up when you try to execute it. [05:27] i just installed and for some reason the partion was like 18 gigs full [05:27] (As far as I remember, it could be a bit more but I severely doubt it0 [05:27] ) [05:27] tyko to make it readonly sudo mount -o ro /dev/sda4 /mnt [05:28] i just formatted again using gparted oposed to the partition manager built into the installer [05:28] anybody use lame or avidemux command line? [05:28] running installer again [05:28] Lafitte-: Good. Thanks for the info. I don't use samba much anymore.... kinda rusty. [05:28] however [05:28] usr13: basically ubuntu tried to be too secure for the netdrive [05:28] 这里是什么人? [05:28] drago1: I use lame sometimes. [05:28] 呵呵! [05:28] does any one know why there is still about 500mbs of used space after i formatted.. why? [05:29] usr13: 2 tb drive has all my stuff in it LOL [05:29] trying to convert mpg to mp3, it has "sync" issues [05:29] usr13: lame does [05:29] Lafitte-: Cool... [05:29] has anyone gotten skype to play nice with jaunty and microphones? [05:29] drago1: audio only? [05:29] <_JECKEL_> so guys, what's a good compiler for linux? [05:30] <_JECKEL_> I was thinking of getting netbeans [05:30] u83rmensch, have you run mkfs on the partition [05:30] how can i install ssh [05:30] jtholmes: noting this down, it mounted ok, so i'm off copying over liferea data ... thanks again [05:30] D: [05:30] does any one know why there is still about 500mbs of used space after i formatted.. why? [05:30] drago1: I use lame sometimes to convert wav to mp3, but that's about all I've done with it. [05:30] tyko sure [05:30] Hi. I just tried to dist-upgrade my linux laptop and it powered down midway. I thought it was fully charged and there was no warning. Anyway, bad idea on my part. Now I can boot up if I select an old kernel, but the filesystem is in read only mode so I cannot complete dpkg --configure -a to complete the distro upgrade. Any ideas? [05:30] u83rmensch: After you formatted what? [05:31] my partition [05:31] sda3 [05:31] usr13: yes, i just want to extract mp3. did you ever get sync problems? [05:31] formatted it to ext4 [05:31] RedSocrates: i dont have a ~/.mozilla/plugins, and i need the flashplugin in the /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ dir [05:31] should wipped [05:31] drago1: No, it's always worked fine for me. [05:31] i found this on ubuntu web site "Ubuntu is not recommended as it can be a security risk and may break or complicate your upgrade." Should i remove all packages before upgrade? And which repositories are controlled by Ubuntu? [05:31] *should be wiped [05:31] my ls -d doesn't work! what the hell? [05:31] ok, thx anyway [05:31] Gartral1: So did you copy it over there? [05:31] ups sorry not coplete [05:32] fuck it im gonna install [05:32] ls -d only gives . ?? [05:32] i found this on ubuntu web site "Using packages from repositories not controlled by Ubuntu is not recommended as it can be a security risk and may break or complicate your upgrade." Should i remove all packages before upgrade? And which repositories are controlled by Ubuntu? [05:32] RedSocrates: dunno how to [05:32] Gartral1: Okay, tell me where it was originally located again? [05:33] ultras, as long as you haven't added any repositories to your sources.list you should be fine, but it will warn you if you have [05:33] Hi. I just tried to dist-upgrade my linux laptop and it powered down midway. I thought it was fully charged and there was no warning. Anyway, bad idea on my part. Now I can boot up if I select an old kernel, but the filesystem is in read only mode so I cannot complete dpkg --configure -a to complete the distro upgrade. Any ideas? [05:33] Is there a way to get mms video streams to play in firefox in jaunty? [05:33] squid_: i have added at least 3-4 of them. What to do? [05:33] RedSocrates: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ [05:33] Does anyone know how to unlock the PCM volume in Alsamixer, it's limited to 42% [05:34] drago1: You might use -h for highest quality: lame -h sample.wav sample.mp3 [05:34] Gartral1: sudo cp /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ [05:35] b14ck: I just used this website, & it worked fine. http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=228 [05:35] Gartral1: Try that and then restart firefox [05:35] b14ck: the harder part was opening ports on the machine and router [05:36] hi [05:36] b14ck using dsl, I had to fwd the port on my router, then log into the ISP's modem to use dyn-dns [05:36] how can I install libcurl & zlib in Ubuntu [05:37] lwizardl, apt-get install PKGNAME [05:37] RedSocrates: still nothing [05:37] jtholmes: tried that [05:37] Gartral1: Does flash show up in about:plugins in Firefox? [05:37] Does anyone know how to unlock the PCM volume in Alsamixer, it's limited to 42% [05:37] RedSocrates: its acting lokie its loading, but never does anything [05:37] lwizardl, sudo apt-get install libcurl fails [05:37] lwizardl: you need to find the right package names. Use "apt-cache search " [05:38] RedSocrates: yes it does [05:38] lwizardl, looks like you are missing some of the name of libcurl needs a 3 or 4 etc. [05:38] lwizardl: otherwise, search in synaptic [05:39] Gartral1: Ah, okay. Then it's not a matter of where it's located; it's in the right place. [05:39] hi all. I have an ununtu 9.04 laptop and a desktop running windows. how can i get them to share files over a wirless network? (both connect wirelessly) [05:39] lwizardl, same thing with zlib [05:39] russ5811: use samba to share files [05:39] Gartral1: Something might be wrong with the file itself, in that case. I dunno [05:39] i'll check that out. thanks microlith [05:39] !samba | russ5811 [05:39] russ5811: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [05:40] RedSocrates: doubtful, these are google video and youtube streams [05:40] thanks everyone [05:40] Gartral1: By "the file" I mean the flashplugin-alternative.so file [05:41] RedSocrates: well i noticed first off that its the alternativem not nonfree [05:41] Gartral1: Right, was about to ask you why that is [05:42] I'm trying to get a webcam to work on my friend's computer. I'm not sure what drivers it needs, but it works in xawtv and cheese, but not camorama or kopete. She needs it for kopete mostly. [05:42] RedSocrates: same here [05:42] Gartral1, what u tub video you trying to view i would like to check it out to see if i can view it [05:42] Gartral1: How did you install flash? [05:42] enigma: try it in ekiga.. similar to kopete [05:42] scunizi, I will. HOld on. [05:43] RedSocrates: it came with the upgrade to 9.04... [05:43] scunizi, it works in ekiga. [05:44] jtholmes: might be partially cause youtube just went down [05:44] Gartral1: Have you tried a 'sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree'? [05:44] Gartral1, that will have a definite effect on things [05:44] scunizi, I also used the lsusb command and it's detected fine. [05:44] :) [05:44] RedSocrates: we did that with apt, remember? [05:44] enigma: good.. either there is an issue with kopete or it's not setup correcty [05:44] scunizi, but why wouldn't it work with camorama? [05:45] RedSocrates: next time, please leave the quotes out :P [05:45] hi - i seem to have lost all sound on a jaunty pc with nvidia onboard sound support - any help with diagnosis-fix? === john is now known as Guest85677 [05:45] ahhh...is someone else having issues with flash? I just upgraded to Ub9 [05:45] enigma: that is kopete isn't setup correctly.. there are typically two different codecs for a web cam.. v4l & v4l2 or something like that [05:45] should I run alsa-info.sh and post the results?? [05:45] nope, i get 'bitstream problem, resyncing' from lame. anyone have any idea? [05:45] I have the weirdest of problems, My firefox locked up the entire computer when i was about to upload a file to my blog, i tried ctrl+alt+backspace, but later learned that it's been disabled... anyway, i ended up pushing the reset button. now every time ubuntu is done booting, and is about to show the login screen, it doesn't, instead it shows a messy screen which it blinks 3 og 4 times. this screen though messy displays the same screen i had [05:45] Gartral1: Are you using a 32-bit or a 64-bit install? [05:45] and flash keeps thinking it is not installed [05:45] scunizi, alright. So if I install those codecs, do they communicate with kopete? Or are those just webcam drivers like gspca or somethings like that? [05:46] RedSocrates: 32bit on 32 bit core [05:46] RedSocrates: your command returned to prompt without doing a thing [05:46] enigma: neither.. those two should already be options in kopete.. they are 'video types" [05:46] Gartral1: Which command? [05:47] RedSocrates: the aptitude one [05:47] scunizi, alright. I just searched for it using synaptic. I found library files, etc. Which is the package I should install? [05:47] EmLoD: you can get to a terminal after display problems with cntrl-alt-F2 or F1 or 3 i think. then you can play with /etc/X11/xorg.conf. backup 1st. if you mess it up enough, it will reset to default when you reboot [05:47] enigma: also kopete might be looking at the wrong mount point for the camera.. [05:47] Gartral1: That's odd. Does flashplugin-nonfree show up if you type sudo aptitude search flash [05:47] enigma: see my post before your last [05:48] RedSocrates: yes [05:48] scunizi, alright. That makes sense. Hold on. [05:48] i have http://pastebin.com/m19f31397 as smb.conf, i can connect to the public share but can't do read and write of any sort... [05:48] RedSocrates: along with a bunch of other things, like flashplugin-installer [05:48] i used to have something on my panel that showed what song rhythmbox was playing and had a controller. how do i get that again? [05:49] enigma: in ekiga it's listed as a "video plugin". not sure how kopete lists it. [05:49] drago1, i even tried removing it, so it would be default, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with X at all... also, after the flashing of the messy screen is done, the computer completly locks up again, and ctrl+alt+f1\f2 don't work... [05:49] scunizi, I have no idea how to configure Kopete for webcam use. Or if there are any plugins that need to be added. I remember something about jabber or jasper being mentioned in errors I used to get in previous Ubuntu versions in Kopete webcams. [05:49] scunizi, let me open kopete and I will tell you what it's reading. [05:49] Hey guys, I'm having no luck finding my wireless network using iwlist scan [05:49] Hello Everyone [05:49] ok, type 'wine dvdshrinksetup.exe' again, and paste the output into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ so I can see it [05:49] Gartral1: You could give that one a shot with a sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer [05:50] sorry, wrong channel [05:50] Gartral1: In fact, that's the one I have installed on my system and it's using libflashplayer.so [05:50] Is there someone who is interested in a strang effect that occurs when selecting a text? [05:50] drago1, is there a way to "reset" the kernel, or something like that? [05:50] EmLoD: wow, Im at a loss then. any1 else? [05:50] I uploaded a image of it: http://img102.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=94471_artefact_122_461lo.jpg [05:50] wandana, state the problem and see if anyone answers you :) [05:51] EmLoD: how about hitting esc when booting and trying backup kernel? [05:51] Thank you jtholmes [05:51] RedSocrates: where is that libflashplayer.so? i could copy it around if its in the same place in my drive [05:51] scunizi, after opening kopete, I went to the Video tab under configure and it is reading the device as CIF Single Chip and the input is pac207. I don't know what any of that means, but the screen on top is pitch black. [05:51] When I select text in evolution, it gets surrounded [05:51] Did anyone have to do some special modifications/installs to detect their wireless networks? [05:51] red, I don't know if it would help or not, but the last time I had this problem it was that I had two flash players installed [05:51] A black rectangle [05:51] drago1, is there a guide on that somewhere? i'm not a noob, but i'm no proffesional either :p [05:51] scunizi, when I chat with someone else and invite them to view my webcam, it just doesn't do anything. [05:52] I don't remember how I fixed it though [05:52] enigma: there should be a properties or setup option for configuring the video .. check there. [05:52] EmLoD: same here, but its simple enough you might not need help. a menu choice comes up, just pick the 2nd to top one [05:52] Gartral1: I have libflashplayer.so in three places: /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ and /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/ [05:52] scunizi, alright. Hold on. [05:52] Furthermore, when using texmaker and try to search something, the search textbox show strange characters [05:52] drago1, ok, this is after GRUB then? [05:52] Gartral1: If you try installing flashplugin-installer with apt/aptitude, you should probably remove the other one first [05:53] EmLoD: im sorry, i think it is grub im talking about. it has backup configs [05:53] Do evolution and texmaker base on the qt lib? [05:53] RedSocrates: i dont even know what i have installed anymore! ;_; [05:54] drago1, mine don't seem to have that... it has recovery mode... but i've tried everything in there... [05:54] RedSocrates: and firefox just crashed trying to load a video [05:54] Gartral1: If you installed using sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, you can just do sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree [05:54] When running partimage i receive the error 'Can't read bitmap block 0 from image' would anyone be able to help? [05:54] Gartral1: And then install the other using sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [05:54] any comments over: http://pastebin.com/m1db14a7e [05:54] enigma: in looking at kopete's website it looks like a kde verson of pidgin.. with no video support.. === john is now known as Guest18555 [05:54] drago1, btw it fails during starting swap... [05:54] scunizi, nonsense. I've used webcams in kopete for the longest time. I just haven't used it since 8.10. [05:54] RedSocrates: i dont know how it was installed, i tryed every way i saw availible and now i cant sort it out [05:55] enigma: ok.. I've never used it.. just looking at their site. [05:55] anybody know of a good svg editor that can properly export pdfs with transparency (Inkscape on Intrepid is not working)? === les_ is now known as les [05:56] Gartral1: Not really sure what to tell you, in that case [05:56] if I am trying to mount a network drive on a windows machine do I need to enable NTFS support in ubuntu? [05:56] RedSocrates: according to apt/aptitude i have nonfree, according to what exists in firefox, i have the alternative [05:56] hello [05:56] I just made a second example: http://img102.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=94938_artefact2_122_135lo.jpg [05:57] how do i make Ctrl alt backspace work in jaunty? [05:57] hello [05:57] Does anyone know how to unlock the PCM volume in Alsamixer, it's limited to 42% [05:57] enigma: did you find a setup section for the video? [05:57] This is the result when I focus the search textbox in texmaker [05:57] http://img102.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=94938_artefact2_122_135lo.jpg [05:57] Gartral1: If you remove the nonfree with aptitude, do the flashplugin-alternative.so files remain? [05:57] admin_masu3701: i think you do this: sudo apt-get install dontzap [05:57] why when i try to login from 9.04 thin client it says the server not respond??? [05:57] hey guys i have a via sound device on this clone system that someone built and i cant hear sound from my speakers does ubuntu have issues with this particular sound device? [05:57] admin_masu3701: then you run: sudo dontzap --disable [05:57] why when i try to login from 9.04 thin client it says the server not respond??? [05:58] scunizi, but after attempting to send my webcam to a friend, the terminal output (since I opened it in terminal) was as follows: Transfer ACCEPTED by: WebcamTask [05:58] scunizi, there was no setup section that I could find. [05:58] xmedex: you could have a firewall on or something like that [05:58] RedSocrates: yes they do [05:59] firewall??? [05:59] Gartral1: Hm... [05:59] scunizi, wait. I just found a bunch of terminal output related to the webcam. Want me to send it to you on pastebin? [05:59] gm | lap: then restart? [05:59] or just log out [05:59] hey guys , is anyone using the nouveau drivers in jaunty ? [05:59] admin_masu3701: i'm not sure, i just read it somewhere [05:59] enigma: ok.. not sure if I'll learn anything but you never know. [05:59] ok [05:59] admin_masu3701: does ctrl-alt-backspace work now? [05:59] no [05:59] think i have to log out [05:59] or restart [06:00] scunizi, well, hopefully you'll learn more than me. I'll look more into it myself, but two minds are better than one. lol [06:00] why with firewall??? i dont understand [06:00] the server did not responf [06:00] the server did not respond [06:00] I can't run wine dvdshrinksetup.exe any idea why? [06:00] RedSocrates: removing non free allowed the alt to work [06:00] thin client jaunty says the server did not respond???? [06:01] why [06:01] Gartral1: Ah, good! [06:01] Gartral1: So it's working now, then? [06:01] Hi. Trying to get my sound cards to work following an upgrade to Jaunty. Here they are: Card 0 : HDA ATI SB at 0xd2500000 irq 16, and Card 1 : HDA ATI HDMI at 0xd2410000 irq 19. They are RS780 Azalia. [06:01] Everything behaves so slow after I upgraded to jaunty [06:01] thin client jaunty says the server did not respond???? === florin is now known as Guest59935 [06:01] Do I need to load a particular module? === Guest59935 is now known as floryn [06:01] I mean into the XOrg? [06:01] RedSocrates: false alarm, its working better, i see a preveiw now instead of just a grey play button [06:02] anyone know why I can't run wine dvdshrinksetup.exe? [06:02] enigma: do you get a blue square when trying to view video? [06:02] Gartral1: OK I got flash to work using Redsoc's advice: I copied the following to terminal 1) sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree 2) sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer 3) sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree I suspect you could remove all the "alternative" version the same way and install flashplugin-nonfree similarly....I am a total newb, so ingest with trepidation [06:02] hi - anybody able to help with diagnose and fix of missing sound on a jaunty with nvidia onboard system?? [06:02] Does anyone know how to unlock the PCM volume in Alsamixer, it's limited to 42%, I forget this key I need to hit in order for it to unlock or activate. [06:02] ok nevermind [06:02] someone help [06:02] someone help [06:02] sorry [06:02] thin client jaunty says the server did not respond???? [06:02] xmedex: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:02] grindel: Glad it worked for you :) [06:02] scunizi, I haven't tried to view someone else's webcam yet. But the pastebin site is: http://pastebin.com/m652ff00d [06:02] join #ubuntu-br [06:03] scunizi, just take a look at that and tell me if you can figure anything out. [06:03] RedSocrates: right now, trying to play videos results in crashed firefox [06:04] Redsoc, Thanks for the help [06:04] grindel: no luck, the alternatives arent even in repos [06:05] Gartral1: At this point, I'd need to know how you installed the flashplugin-alternative.so files. As grindel's summarized instructions suggested, the idea is to first get all of the current flash stuff off of the system [06:05] Gartral1: Oh, right, you said they came with your installation [06:05] hi [06:05] can someone give me tips as to how to convert a 100 page pdf file to text using OCR? [06:05] RedSocrates: i would assume firefox installed it through its plugin finder crap [06:05] (how do u add the thiung to the panel that shows what song is playing in rhythmbox) [06:05] grindel: No prob [06:06] when i try to watch an avi from one of my hard disks, the hd light lights up for a long period of time, as if it's working, but i am unable to play the vid, before upgrading to 9.04, the same issue happened with copying from and to the hard disk, it reaches a point where the hard disk works a lot but the pc freezes, any idea why? (The HD is almost as the end, there's like 800 MB free, it's ext3) [06:06] RedSocrates: all i know is i have not had a very good time with jaunty [06:06] when i try to watch an avi from one of my hard disks, the hd light lights up for a long period of time, as if it's working, but i am unable to play the vid, before upgrading to 9.04, the same issue happened with copying from and to the hard disk, it reaches a point where the hard disk works a lot but the pc freezes, any idea why? (The HD is almost as the end, there's like 800 MB free, it's ntfs) [06:06] pppoe_dude: try pdftotext? [06:06] Gartral1: If that's the case, if you go to Tools --> Add-ons --> Plugins, perhaps you can remove them there? [06:06] (ntfs not ext3) [06:06] Gantral1: ^ That's in Firefox [06:06] enigma: looks like it discovers it and tests it for various functions successfully then shuts it down.. weird.. unless the wrong driver is loaded for it. that's something I don't now anything about. however lsusb will show the camera and the chipset.. with that info you should be able to google it and verify the driver you're using is the correct one. the good news is, it is a v4l2 device which is the only type that will work in kopete [06:06] whats the tool in ubuntu to make an ubuntu install ISO write onto a flash drive? [06:07] losher: thanks will try that [06:07] RedSocrates: not really, i can disable them... [06:08] Idespnnr, usb startup disk creator? [06:08] Gartral1: Hm.. You may have results if you disable them and then try installing the flashplugin-installer. I can't guarantee that, though [06:08] Hello everyon [06:08] hey my video playback isnt working except w/ X11 in VLC and that is choppy......I dont know what else to do....any suggestions? [06:08] good morning [06:08] pppoe_dude: not sure how good a job it will do.... [06:08] how do you use compiz to use 3d windows switcher? [06:08] when using partimage i receive this error 'Cant read block 0 from image' What does this mean? [06:08] I need to catch up on BSG...help [06:08] XD [06:09] losher: will see [06:09] can someone please help me configure my network connection ? [06:09] scunizi, alright. Cool. Well, it's actually a little webcam that came with a "webcam for dummies" package, and it has Pixar's Incredibles on it. So I had no idea what kind of driver it would need. The functionality I've had so far has just be out-of-box testing. [06:09] i am getting an error msg of "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" please tell me how to remove that? [06:09] is it an Intel driver prob? [06:09] Daremonai: I dunno much about ntfs but doesn't it need periodic defragmenting, and doesn't performance degrade when it gets close to full?

Is that an Ubuntu app? And what about wengophone? [06:13] pppoe_dude: you're right. There is ocr on linux but I found it much inferior to commercial windows packages (e.g. omnipage).

[06:56] has anyone managed to make fglrx with video + opengl (google earth, for example) not suck? i can't do both at the same time without serious crappy performance. [06:56] Good morning! Yesterday, i updated my PC to Ubuntu 9.04 (amd64) and since then, after logout the login manager and subsequent logins come up in a much too low screen resolution.

[06:56] Gartral1: try: dmesg | egrep sd, that should list all devices the kernel saw at boot time [06:57] fglrx - ati drivers... i have a 3870 [06:57] I can fix this by restarting the gdm, but would prefer to find the cause. [06:57] J-_: what did sourceomatic do? [06:57] losher: i removed it since then [06:57] you'd figure at some point they would have managed to get video overlay and gl overlays working together... seems to work fine in windows and for nvidia [06:57] faileas: gave you predefined sources on demand pretty much.

Yet the eee pc just hangs when it attempts to boot from it.

[07:27] I upgraded to jaunty; can I un-upgrade? too many things still don't work right. [07:27] hi JohnFlux long see no time [07:27] Gartral1: Sorry, I'm out of ideas.... [07:27] krnlklink: ok. then in the ekiga options, try using a different capture device [07:27] Canaen: no [07:27] losher: grrrr. this is highly agitating, im about ready to downgrade just over tthis! [07:27] thanks quibbler. I might try 9.04 on a desktop, if only I could get outlook public folders working with thunderbird (stupid work) [07:27] so what i did: i deliberately disabled wireless a few hours ago, to force the wired connection -- now the option to enable wireless is not displayed! [07:28] Canaen: it may be possible to rollback to the Intrepid version of certain packages. [07:28] thank you ActionParsnip ! [07:28] can some help me with this error message? [07:28] :D [07:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/159836/ [07:28] it was old pidgin settings causing that [07:28] that is, right click the tiny panel icon [07:28] AK_Dave: how would one rollbacl? [07:28] Gartral1: personally, I like 8.04LTS, It seems rock-solid... [07:28] Canaen: By installing the Intrepid version. Usually not recommended. But depends on the EXACT problem you're facing. [07:28] losher: is that Hardy? [07:28] !hardy [07:28] Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [07:29] obviously the wired connection is okay [07:29] sup sireromano [07:29] wtv: the only other capture device I have is the usb mic on a logitech web cam. that does not work either.. it also defaults to disabled in volume control and I cannot make the enable stick [07:29] Yea, Ilike that one too [07:29] Gartral1: yeah, stupid names [07:29] ill post in the forums... [07:29] holy crap [07:29] how can i enable wireless? [07:29] Rock solid [07:29] AK_Dave: what would be the downside? just potential problems from non compatability? [07:29] yo comhack [07:29] hi everybody. Does anyone else have a problem with VLC not saving preferences? I'm trying to get it to save "only one instance" and "enqueue files in instance mode." [07:30] krnlklink: oh. then you might try posting your issue on ubuntuforums [07:30] wtv: I lie... that seems to work in sound recorder... if I set as default in preferences default capture device [07:30] Canaen: The Intepid version may not work at all and could cause problems with something else. So, like I said, its not recommended but is sometimes done for certain specific problems. [07:30] HI [07:30] hi can someone help me [07:30] yup [07:30] !anyone [07:30] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/159836/ [07:30] try to [07:31] asiks: did you restart VLC after saving prefs? [07:31] Canaen: You say "too many things still don't work right" but you offer no specifics. So I cannot in turn be specific. [07:31] What is shortcut for terminal? [07:31] Dday: you can create one [07:31] I closed it by clicking on its X, yeah [07:31] Canaen: sorry, you're supposed to have taken a full backup before you upgraded. The splash screen on the livecd really should say that I think... [07:31] Dday, you can set it from system > prefer > keyboard shortcut [07:31] how can i enable wireless? [07:31] Okay cheers [07:31] asiks: now start it again and see if changes are applied [07:31] !wireless [07:31] the option to do so is gone [07:31] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:32] stwange-> i also use thunderbird but don't need outlook public folders (retired) but i think that evolution can handle public folders [07:32] I tried that, doesn't seem to be working [07:32] * Xiong looks [07:32] xiong: In general, 'lspci -vvnn' to determine your exact wifi chipset and what modules your system is attempting to use, then google " ubuntu " to see if there are any good how-tos. If so, follow it. [07:32] It worked in 8.10. This is a fresh install of 9.04 [07:33] asiks: what exactly happens? the changes you made in prefs get reversed? [07:33] AK_Dave:sorry, you're right. I'm experiencing sound problems (though trying to work through those; currently my sound just doesn't work) and my computer seems to be generally running slower than it should. I don't like the new single-applet messaging system (it breaks the look and feel of what I'm used to, and looks more like Vista or something. these are just the problems for me in the last couple hours since upgrading. [07:33] AK_Dave, i am very noob here -- and this afternoon, wifi was working fine [07:33] i have a error message saying "Failed to contact configuration server"..... [07:33] When i re-open vlc and go to preferences, it's like I hadn't made any changes [07:33] Where do I put nameservers to configure DNS in a lamp installation? [07:33] i'm very afraid to make matters worse by trying to do everything or start over as if i never had wireless working in the first place [07:33] I can turn off the first option, "only one instance" [07:34] here is the full error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/159836/ [07:34] asiks: you have to click on 'save' after changing prefs [07:34] Yeah. Did that [07:34] the specific thing that i did to break it was to choose to disable from the menu, accessed via right click on the connections icon in the tray [07:34] When i try to open songbird it says [07:34] -- and i thought i would be able to re-enable the same way [07:34] it retains the preferences until vlc is closed i think [07:34] Found it. /etc/resolv.conf for nameservers. [07:35] Songbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Songbird process, or restart your system. [07:35] i can't understand why the box is gone! [07:35] Canaen: could be an alsa problem, could be you don't have the proper module loaded for your hardware, could be your hardware is unsupported, but most likely you just need some tweak to your alsa config that will depend on your exact hardware. System running slower could mean a lot of things: filesystem or video comes to mind. If you don't like the new notifier, you can uninstall that. [07:35] Canaen: broken sound is the commonest issue I've seen on this list for 8.X -> 9.04. Next is observations that 9.04 is slower. Google '9.04 sound'. No cure for the sluggishness I know of [07:35] AK_Dave: thank you. Sorry if I came off whiny. [07:36] Canaen: Not a problem :) [07:36] heh [07:36] 9.04 is not so much slugglish, its the x freezes that are 'bugging'me :( [07:36] Dday: do you have a terminal open? [07:36] losher: thank you for trying to help. sorry I'm an asshole. [07:36] highlights are gettin' me [07:36] Yeah youngeezy [07:36] AK_Dave [07:36] Dday: try killall songbird [07:36] wtv: ok... the logitech mic works in ekiga [07:36] DaveWM: ?

[07:44] asiks: try uninstalling completely and then reinstall again [07:45] should i remove related packages or just VLC ? [07:46] asiks: i think you should just mark vlc for complete removal. but i can't say if that will really solve the problem [07:46] it did not [07:46] Anyone know something about installing drivers for a 093:2468 PAC207 webcam (Pixart Imaging Inc.) on Ubuntu 8.10?

[07:58] FlyOnThe1all: ahh..ok :] i didnt know... [07:59] !bot [07:59] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:59] Tosted: if you're looking for a bot-software, check out eggdrop at eggheads.org [07:59] I think there's some info on the software used in those links [07:59] FlyOnThe1all: i ve heard that i could found it there...but i m wrong [07:59] Slart: nope, not really [08:00] AK_Dave: Nothing changed in menu.lst, Should i erase it first? [08:00] FlyOnThe1all: i ll try...tnks [08:00] yw [08:00] ultras: its sudo update-grub [08:00] FlyOnThe1all: yes, really.. "Its source code may be foudn here and its SQLite factoids database may be downloade from this location" [08:00] FlyOnThe1all: from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [08:01] wtv: thats what i did. [08:01] ultras: Nothing happened when you did that command? Nothing at all? Or did it work, and give you output? [08:01] Slart: ah right, sorry [08:01] it finished with no errors, last was Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done [08:01] ??? [08:01] ultras: yeah so that's the way it is by default [08:01] FlyOnThe1all: no worries =) [08:02] Slart: wt that s mean? [08:02] ultras: Then its updated as per your default preferences that you specified. [08:02] * wtv 's gotta go now bye :) [08:02] Tosted: check this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots, in there are links to the bot software and the factoids database [08:02] Hey guys is there any way to tell for sure if my RAM configuration is running in dual channel mode? I read my mobo manual but I'm still not quite sure, really seems like a Chinese dude wrote it and it got translated weird. [08:02] Slart: ok [08:03] Ubuntu have anything to report the mode of my setup? [08:03] Slart: I just hope he doesn't try to enable any file uploading/downloading features in it, since it only seems to handle factoids [08:03] MarkJones: My Mobo shows it during post... [08:03] MarkJones: I'm not sure.. you might want to try lshw [08:03] hello!! how to set screen resolution to 1280x1024? Intel 945G Chipset. Driver "intel". Maximum - 1360x768 :( (xubuntu 9.04) [08:04] MarkJones: Asus mobo? Yeah, thats how it was written. [08:04] FlyOnThe1all: I've never really looked at the source so I wouldn't really know.. hopefully he just wants it for a channel of his own [08:04] AK_Dave: do you know when you installing ubuntu how it detects other operating system and stuff .... afte initial install i changed my menu.lst a lot, but i want it back the way it was after initial setup. This is not helping, after running command my menu.lst is still the same. === Core is now known as Guest60892 [08:05] div0: are you using ltsp? or a normal desktop? [08:05] Yeah i thought that it shpould say at bootup.I have an ASUS M3N78 Pro.It has to yellow and 2 black slots, in that exact order.If I understand the manual it says a setup with 2 sticks you place in both yellow slots.Arent the colors representing the channel in most cases? Yellow=Channel A Black=Channel B? [08:05] MarkJones: Thats right. [08:05] Hello people. I want to create a 'respin' of Ubuntu so I can easier install a tailor made installation for my company. But I wonder if I should do this by respinning the live cd or the alternate cd. My main question is, if I change the packages on the livecd, let's say that I install Scribus, will those packages then also be installed via the install tool of the live CD? So that the user that used my respin will automatically have Scribus installed in th [08:05] MarkJones: You also should enable dualchannel in bios [08:06] MarkJones: Or at least check that its enabled [08:06] Ok so im thinking I should probably have 1 in yellow and 1 in black.Yes dual is set at auto. [08:07] BezNalogov: it should be that way, if you are making custom CD. [08:07] can someone help me with getting my sound working? [08:07] ultras: Do you have a backup of your menu.lst to restore? [08:07] AK_Dave: :) funny thing, i have backup with this menu.lst. [08:07] ok, thanks! [08:07] MarkJones: No, the colors represent channels. [08:08] Yeah thats what i figured. [08:08] hi. can anyone help me with connecting my phone's microSD card as usb device - gives "can't enumerate" in dmesg output and even doesn't appear in fdisk -l. executing lsusb hangs until I unplug the cord [08:08] So right now I have it like the manual says, both sticks are in yellow slots.Side by side. Doesnt that sound wrong? [08:08] ultras: You have a backup, but its the wrong menu.lst. Okay, I think you're going to have to rebuild it from scratch. Supergrubdisk can do it easy, or there is this wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#Restoring%20GRUB [08:08] AK_Dave:thanks! Those links you gave me about sound have my sound fully functional already (I think. There's some funny stuff when I reboot, but that might be gone now, whatever). [08:09] Ok will check it out. [08:09] Canaen: glad that worked! [08:09] MarkJones: That sounds right. But the performance gain of dual channel is about 3%... Don´t think you will notice any difference thoug.. :D [08:09] realy? [08:09] hmm [08:09] I really don't know what to do to get my sound working?! [08:10] has anyone noticed that with Jaunty, when you switch desktops, the applications move, rather than actually giving you a new desktop? [08:10] vadim: Some phones only want to talk to Windows Media Player, it seems. My Motorola for example clearly doesn [08:10] vadim: clearly doesn't show itself as a hard drive or a SD reader, unlike my Sansa Fuse. [08:11] MarkJones: Tom´s hardware did some benchmarks i read... === kuba is now known as kubenstein [08:11] hey people [08:11] vadim: But I can pull the microSD from the phone and put it in an adapter to read it as an SD card and its fine. The card is good; the phone doesn't enumerate as a SD reader. But Windows drivers allow it to talk to WMP. [08:11] is it normal to have the same couple of ip adresses looking for the same port? [08:12] AK_Dave: that's sad: i don't have windows anymore and cardreader either(( [08:12] vadim: what phone? [08:13] i'm currently using intrepid ibex (ubuntu 8.10) 64bit, but i'm thinking about installing jaunty jackalope (ubuntu 9.04) 64 bit. I'm wondering what the problem is with using debs made for 8.10? It seems getdeb is a bit thin in regards to deb packages for jaunty... [08:13] Hey I need help with Cairo-Dock, it appears some of my plugins didn't install right, and now the dock won't open. How do I fix this? (Output is here: http://pastebin.com/m6a295408 ) [08:14] pumpkinseed: some will work, some won't. [08:14] Well actually the dock never opened. [08:14] AK_Dave: Motorola k1m [08:14] anybody have any experience running ubuntu with a readonly root? [08:14] purposefully, i mean :) [08:14] vadim: Far as I know, Motorola phones esp are problematic for this. [08:15] AK_Dave: so I should wait until all the programs I use have debs released for jaunty 64bit [08:15] vadim: They EXPECT you to use WMP to handle music on the phone. [08:15] pumpkinseed: Thats one approach. You could put Jaunty in vbox and try the debs there. [08:16] AK_Dave: there were no problems in windows XP WITHOUT WMP and ubuntu 8.10 livecd [08:16] try rythymbox music player? [08:16] Scroll up MarkJones [08:16] whoever wrote synaptic really really really needs to be sanctified [08:16] AK_Dave: ahhh.... very nice [08:17] pumpkinseed: you could install jaunty, have jaunty in vbox, trial stuff in the virtual jaunty, and then install it for real if you like it. [08:17] in the folder /usr/include/netinet icmp6.h is there but not icmp.h why ? isn't it supposed to be there [08:17] H_M-Ubuntu: I was offereing 1on1 help.You turned it down so nm. [08:17] vadim: my rokr didn't like Hardy, so I found a way to work with it from vbox. [08:17] the options file in /etc/modprobe.d/ is removed in 9.04, what should i do to edit it? [08:17] AK_Dave: i removed menu.lst first, and tried again update-grub and it recreated menu.lst. It did not detected other OS, but thats ok i will add them manually. It did what i needed the rest is easy. Thanks. [08:18] Hiya, everyone. Anybody know offhand how to share a printer over the network from a headless host? [08:18] samba [08:18] ultras: glad that worked! [08:18] As I said in the PM..... You probably wanted me to run a malicious command, which wouldn't work on me.. I don't bluntly run commands, i've been using Linux a while now. [08:18] So I turn down "Private help." [08:18] hi all... how do I run hardware detection manually? my ubuntu 9.4 vbox client seems to have a problem recognizing the graphics [08:18] Yes H_M everyone here is out to get you.I have nothing better to do. Ok lets move on. [08:19] hello i am having problems activating nvidia drivers after upgrade to 9.04 [08:19] please help an ubuntu noob -- i have very little idea how to work this -- i have disabled wireless and now i can't re-enable it [08:19] it was working fine this afternoon, now it's gone [08:19] Xiong: try right-clicking your network icon in the system tray [08:19] Xiong: What did you do in the interim between "working" and "not working"? [08:20] Xiong, when you say you 'disabled wireless' are you talking about clicking with the right hand mouse button on the wireless icon in your panel and removing the check mark from 'Enable Wireless', or something more sinister? [08:20] Xiong: Did you flip the little switch that turns your wifi radio off on your laptop? [08:20] Canaen, that is what freaks me out -- i disabled wireless by right-clicking in the system tray [08:20] now the box is not displayed! [08:20] ah [08:20] is there a mini.iso available for jaunty yet? the netinst/minimal with expert mode options that is? [08:20] chamlin, that is exactly what i did -- i thought it safe [08:21] It should have been. What wireless ahrdware are you using? [08:21] AK_Dave, i have no idea where that little switch might be [08:21] Xiong: what happens when you flip the laptop's switch again? [08:21] Xiong: depends on your lappie, some have little hardware switched. [08:21] and since the hardware manufacturer, MPC, has gone out of business, no help from that quarter [08:21] ah [08:21] Ooo. That's a bad sign. [08:22] Do you get the icon in your system tray when you connect via cable? [08:22] i deliberately disabled wireless in the system tray -- now the checkbox to enable it is just... gone [08:22] 'If so, you should have the option to re-enable wireless from there. [08:22] i'm connected wired now [08:22] And still no icon? [08:22] chamlin, i surely should [08:22] Xiong: what brand & model of laptop do you have? [08:22] Anyway, could someone help me with this cairo-dock plugin problem? http://pastebin.com/m6a295408 [08:23] Xiong: You're connected wired. Do you have a little icon in your panel that looks like two tiny monitors on top of each other? [08:23] i see the icon but right-clicking brings up only the option to completely disable networking; the option to enable/disable wireless is just... gone [08:23] AK_Dave: yes [08:23] Xiong, if you go to System > Preferences > Network Connections, do you have a Wireless tab there? [08:23] hi all... how do I run hardware detection manually? my ubuntu 9.4 vbox client seems to have a problem recognizing the graphics [08:23] and when i right-click it, the option is no longer shown === H_M-Ubuntu_ is now known as H_M-Ubuntu [08:24] Xiong: Okay, I see. The icon is there. the checkbox is not. Okay, do lspci and see what wifi chipset you have. === Z3ro3X_ is now known as Z3ro3X [08:24] chamlin, i get to that same window quicker by right-clicking the system tray icon [08:24] "network connections" [08:24] and yes, there's a wireless tab [08:24] Is there any way i can open /.mozilla/firefox/ [08:24] from the terminaL? [08:24] there is a list of several wireless networks to which i have recently connected [08:25] !codecs [08:25] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [08:25] when i double-click the one which is "up" here and now, i have checked "connect automatically" and "system setting" === Jiyu_ is now known as JiYu [08:25] q [08:25] Xiong: Say, just out of curiosity. Your wired and wireless networking. Are they to the SAME router, both configured auto DHCP? [08:26] AK_Dave, that WAS the situation; i was connected to the same router both wired and wirelessly -- that is why i disabled the wireless [08:26] is there any way to adjust the indicator applet? does it have preferences to adjust for color, etc? [08:26] and yes, both configured auto DHCP [08:26] Alright I fixed it, for the most part [08:26] my xorg's memory use keeps increasing... help! [08:27] !intel [08:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about intel [08:27] and yes, since i'm wired, i can zip into the router setup stuff directly [08:27] Evidently the dependencies for the plugins were not satisfied while installing, and it made the installing corrupt [08:27] I just removed them.. However, I can't add the plugins again, as they have missing dependencies still. [08:27] Xiong: Did you have, at one time, BOTH the wired and wireless connections active simultaneously? [08:28] Xiong: and... its a usb-bus wifi card isn't it. [08:28] hello [08:28] AK_Dave: yes -- and according to the router, both DHCP leases are still "hot" [08:28] how do i access a local area network i am on - the other computers are windows xp [08:29] Xiong: In fact, its a usb-bus wifi card that you were using through ndiswrapper, and the other thing you did between "then" and "now" is a suspend/resume on your laptop. Am I right? [08:29] dunno anything about the wifi hardware except that it is internal, not a pci cardbus card [08:29] AK_Dave, you are 100% correct [08:29] Xiong: So what does lsusb say your wifi chipset is? [08:29] hibernated, suspended, etc. [08:30] Xiong: if you reboot this will fix. But thats not the problem. The problem is that ndiswrapper will sometimes, more often with usb wifi, just not wake up after suspend. [08:30] okay, i think i know how to answer your question but just to show you what kind of noob i am, i will ask: do you mean to go to a terminal window and type "lsusb"? [08:31] Xiong: Yes, go to the terminal and type 'lsusb' or better yet 'lsusb | grep Wireless' [08:31] and no -- i tried rebooting and that did not fix it [08:32] i lsusb and i got a listing of seven lines [08:32] none say wireless [08:32] Xiong: None say wireless? Then it must be pci. Do 'lspci' [08:32] there is a bluetooth dongle, a fingerprint reader, and five "linux foundation root hub"s [08:33] away [08:33] I have a laptop with 4 speakers and a subwoofer built in, only two of the speakers are working right now, anyone know much about audio setups? [08:33] I have now had 3 complete freezes in 2 days on my Dell Studio XPS laptop since I upgraded it from 8.10 to 9.04. Is there a log or something I can do to help debug this problem ? [08:33] Morning, folks. [08:33] hipitihop: Have you tried a cold install of jaunty? [08:33] hipitihop: what gpu? [08:34] syslog hipitihop? [08:34] okay AK_Dave i get much stuff from the lspci command [08:35] one line is for a wireless controller [08:35] Xiong: I knew you would. But one line will have something to say about 802.11 wireless networking [08:35] Xiong: So whats that line? [08:35] Xiong: highlight, r-click, copy, paste [08:35] AK_Dave: no, too hard at the moment [08:35] hi all... how do I run hardware detection manually? my ubuntu 9.4 vbox client seems to have a problem recognizing the graphics [08:36] t [08:36] tokyoahead, is it manual if it detects if for you? [08:36] AK_Dave, let me get up a pastebin [08:36] tokyoahead: did you install the vbox guest additions? [08:36] has anyone here experienced slowness using compiz with an ati card under Jaunty? [08:36] cybersplice: yep [08:36] Xiong: its just one line of text!! [08:36] Titan8990: I want to initiate the new creation of a config file [08:36] tokyoahead: I had this problem with vbox yesterday, had to reinstall it. [08:36] Slart, I can't get the link for !factoid software. where exactly can i download it?

Apparently the file is 1.01kb. Is it just me or does anyone else think that sounds wrong. [08:37] !slapd [08:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about slapd [08:37] more ati problems here? [08:37] cybersplice: it comlains on startup and then goes into low graphics mode, says it cannot write config file if I ask the menu to do so [08:37] Ethos: sorry, still a noob when it comes to logs, specific CLI command pls [08:37] Kartagis: the link leads here https://code.launchpad.net/~tsimpson/ubuntu-bots/tweak [08:37] hipitihop: There were a number of bugs floating around with the intel graphics, however lots of people were grumbling about issues with ati and nv. [08:37] AK_Dave: http://pastebin.com/m757480ac [08:37] wassnt there a command line command that initiates the hardware detetion? [08:37] i think the new DRI implementation is causing problems with ATI cards [08:38] it's the most glaring difference i can see between previous version of X with Intrepid and Jaunty [08:38] Kartagis: this seems useful too https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [08:38] anyone know how to specify NOT to load DRI/DRI2 in Xorg.conf? [08:39] tokyoahead: I had the same issue. Like i say, i had to reinstall vbox. [08:39] cybersplice: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670 [08:39] Slart, doesn't a simple .tar.gz exist? [08:39] cybersplice: what exactly did you reinstall the vbox of ubuntu? [08:39] ATI FireGL v5700 here (Reports as ATI Radeon HD 3650) [08:39] hipitihop: what's your problem? [08:40] in many sites i visit (github is a good example) the text is smashed and unreadable. only hovering with the mouse 'cleans' it. any ideas? [08:40] Kartagis: I have no idea.. I've never played with the source myself [08:40] tokyoahead: I reinstalled the vbox hypervisor on the host machine. [08:40] mgmuscari: complete freeze 3 times now in as many days since upgrade laptop from 8,10 to 9.04 [08:40] cyber ok will try that thanks [08:40] Kartagis: ask one of the bot maintainers.. the !bot factoid mentions some nicks I think [08:40] hipitihop: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1059855 bit of a read, but bear with it. [08:41] !bot [08:41] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [08:41] hi there [08:41] hipitihop: i did the upgrade on saturday night and it's been nothing but trouble so far [08:41] hipitihop: sudo nano /var/log/syslog [08:41] Have a look in there [08:41] Xiong: all I needed was that one line about your wifi! [08:41] cool [08:42] i hope you're not mad because i pastebinned two lines? [08:42] hipitihop: i first used the Upgrade tool and it completely borked my system... hard lock on boot as soon as the X server started with absolutely no responsiveness. i couldn't even pull up a TTY [08:42] I'm furious. [08:42] hipitihop: i ended up formatting my / partition and installing a fresh 9.04 [08:42] i live in terror of being a chanflooder [08:43] Xiong: Okay, a few things for you. You can visit the wireless troubleshooting guide, but I don't think it will help because your wireless should be working. However, suspend/resume is a known problem for you. Put this on your kernel line when you boot next: pci=noacpi [08:43] hipitihop: some of my residual config settings in my home folder seem to cause a few problems; i tried creating a new user and it works a little better [08:43] mgmuscari: eek, something I can't afford to do at the moment. [08:43] Xiong: The kernel team has a suspend/resume survey https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/SuspendResumeTesting/Feedback and your wifi chipset is a known problem [08:43] hello i have a problem [08:44] hipitihop: i learned a while ago after borking things frequently to start setting up /home, /usr, etc on separate partitions... might be worth looking into [08:44] Xiong: Here's the wifi troubleshooting guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [08:44] ... a problem that never surfaced so long as i left wifi enabled [08:44] is there anywhone? [08:44] Notă, se selectează ia32-libs în locul lui ia32-libs-gtk [08:44] E: Nu pot găsi pachetul ia32-libs-kde [08:44] hi. is anyone noticing that jaunty+ext4 seems to be accumulating enough cache to shove applications into swap before the RAM even hits 50%? [08:44] vlad@ubuntu:~/Desktop/SecondLife-i686-1.22.11.113941$ [08:44] Xiong: No, the problem surfaced because you did the suspend [08:44] hyperair: how would i monitor this? [08:44] Ethos: how far back ? [08:45] mgmuscari: run "watch free -m" in a terminal [08:45] !cz [08:45] České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme. [08:45] i have often suspended -- but this one time, i hibernated after disabling wireless, and didn't re-enable first [08:45] mgmuscari: then have lots and lots of IO [08:45] It'll only do per day, so just page up and look for anthing suspicious [08:45] Xiong: Okay, the hibernate. [08:45] at least, i'm starting to think i have a feel for this issue [08:45] mgmuscari: then start RAM-hungry apps [08:45] disable then hibernate = disaster [08:45] mgmuscari: then watch as your swap fills up even before your RAM hits 50% [08:45] hmmmmmm [08:46] Xiong: Well, we can troubleshoot further. You know your wifi is pci. Good. Do this and pastebin it: 'lspci -vvnn' [08:46] currently my RAM is at 36%, swap is at 39% [08:46] i will try rebooting and look for a way to type that "kernel line" on boot [08:46] yesterday it ended up trashing when swap hit 100% and RAM hit 60% [08:46] ok, your thing first [08:46] Samba uses 'trivial databases'. Where are they described? There is no 'man tdbtoo'. There is no 'man tdbdump'. There is no 'tdbbackup'. [08:47] Xiong: All I really need to see is the block, a big section, for the Wireless. And of that, all I need are the first two and last two lines of that block. [08:47] hyperair: how much ram are you talking here? [08:47] mgmuscari: 2G [08:47] mgmuscari: swap also 2G [08:47] hyperair: i'm working with 4G/4G [08:47] heh [08:48] damn [08:48] i see 968 used right now, 398 cached... [08:48] apologies in advance, i've grabbed it all [08:48] i wonder what i can start to eat ram [08:48] mgmuscari: mine's 1G cached. [08:48] Xiong: thats fine, lets see the pastebin :) [08:48] mgmuscari: just dd if=somefileonext4 of=/dev/null [08:48] and do that for many files [08:48] that should get your cache up [08:49] AK_Dave: http://pastebin.com/m34300421 [08:49] hmmm [08:49] the only files in ext4 are in my / [08:49] lessee === indSpike is now known as indSpike|away [08:51] AK_Dave, why don't i try rebooting with the kernel line while you chew on the pastebin? [08:51] Xiong: Nah, I think this is fixable. [08:51] whew! [08:51] mgmuscari: find -type f -exec dd if='{}' of=/dev/null \; [08:51] mgmuscari: i meant find / [08:51] Xiong: Look at the block starting at line 156. Look at the last two lines. kernel driver in use: tg3 kernel driver: tg3 [08:51] Xiong: Now look at the block starting at line 168. Specifically, look above and below line 175. [08:51] i see it [08:52] Xiong: See a line that says "kernel driver in use" in that block? [08:52] yah [08:52] Xiong: You have a kernel module, called ipw2200, but it isn't working. [08:52] i do NOT see a "kernel driver in use" line in the wireless block [08:53] i follow you sir [08:53] Xiong: do this command: 'sudo modprobe -r ipw2200 && sudo modprobe ipw2200' to REMOVE the kernel module, then probe it back in place. :) [08:53] Can anyone comment on if I need DHCP turned on at my router for Ubuntu to pick up an IP# correctly? Hardy worked fine, however Intrepid and Jaunty will make my router light twinkle and never pick up an IP# (sometimes). I currently have the modem (which has DHCP on it), in the switch port along with the other computers (being used as a switch instead of router?) [08:53] * Xiong tries that [08:54] Name141: your router needs to be running a DHCP server for DHCP clients to get config from it === _NiC_ is now known as _NiC [08:54] mgmuscari: Could I just go buy a switch ? [08:54] ive been trying all day to get my wireless to work and ive been failing amazingly [08:54] :{ [08:54] Name141: in that case your computer would get config from the modem, i think [08:54] mgmuscari: the modem assigns the 192.168.0.xxx's without it. [08:55] Name141: you might be able to set up your router as a switch, depending on the make/model [08:55] mgmuscari: So the modem is screwing it up? [08:55] modems don't assign lan IPs [08:55] hi , after install canon LBP 3050 laser printer driver but it still cant use , any one can help? [08:55] Name141: maybe? [08:55] GibbaTheHutt: he might be using one of those combo modem/routers [08:55] mgmuscari: It is a Linksys EatherFast 4 port switch BEFSR41. [08:56] many broadband services come with them [08:56] yep sure, but its not the modem still really [08:56] GibbaTheHutt: mgmuscari: it is a Sat modem, I can NOT turn off DHCP in it [08:56] Name141: sorry, not familiar with that device [08:56] Or set any other settings in the modem [08:56] oddly ive got a befsr41 [08:56] AK_Dave, got an error [08:56] Xiong: what error? [08:56] The HN7000S wont let me do nothing but 'reset' and view info [08:56] FATAL: Error inserting ipw2200 (/lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/updates/ipw2200.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [08:57] Samba uses 'trivial databases'. Where are they described? There is no 'man tdbtoo'. There is no 'man tdbdump'. There is no 'tdbbackup'. [08:57] Name141: you might be able to find default passwords for that device ;) === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:57] Name141, check dchp config on router, and also ubuntu, maybe nopaste interface config [08:57] mgmuscari: anyway, I went and downloaded some other live CDs to other OS' , and they do the same thing. [08:57] can anybody please help me? i cant seem to enable nvidia drivers in 9.04 [08:58] er, just a min: small question: i'm using xchat, cmd-C does not Copy -- and right-click's popup menu doesn't give me a Copy item either [08:58] i am pulling my hair out [08:58] since this happens all the time i upgrade ubuntu [08:58] i can paste into xchat but not copy out [08:58] GibbaTheHutt: the DHCP is off on router [08:59] hyperair: my cache isn't going over ~400 [08:59] Name141, not sure how you expect it to work then ? [08:59] mgmuscari: damn strange. [08:59] mgmuscari: mine hits 1G [08:59] unless I'm missing something [08:59] who knows [08:59] mgmuscari: 1125M to be exact, and never goes down. [08:59] * desperatenoob is crying and pulling his hair out... [08:59] GibbaTheHutt: The modem , and 3 computers are all in the 4 port switches. [08:59] sounds about as mysterious as my window sizing delay [08:59] mgmuscari: amd64 or i386? [09:00] GibbaTheHutt: we all have ip#'s from the modem , 192.168.0.xxx [09:00] x86_64 [09:00] (starting after 1) [09:00] Name141, the modem is plugged into the internet port and not the lan port ? [09:00] GibbaTheHutt: no [09:00] uname -m [09:00] any reason ? [09:00] oops [09:00] GibbaTheHutt: it is in to the lan ports/switches/whatever [09:00] doing it a second time yields the same result [09:00] GibbaTheHutt: that's the only way I got it to work [09:01] hmm they way it should work, and worked on mine here, is modem into internet port, then PCs into lan port [09:01] Xiong: I think you should go ahead and try the pci=noacpi [09:01] and dhcp enabled [09:01] hello how do i remap my spacebar?! [09:01] Xiong: Something is blocking the module from loading, and I suspect an irq problem. [09:01] GibbaTheHutt: then should I try putting it back in the internet port, turning on DHCP at the router, having it set different from 192.168.0's , like 192.168.1.1's ? [09:01] itsvery annoying [09:01] GibbaTheHutt: and using 192.168.0.1 (the modem address) as the gateway? [09:01] AK_Dave, will do -- cu in a couple minutes [09:02] blubaustin, system -> preference -> keyboard [09:02] Name141, I would try that (write down any cables/configs you change so you can put back) [09:02] okthenwhat? [09:02] GibbaTheHutt: I remember trying that though, and getting "time out" errors all the time [09:02] ugh these delays with compiz are driving me nuts [09:02] GibbaTheHutt: if I remember right [09:02] Name141, depends if any devices you have have a static IP somewhere [09:03] someone please help me with nvidia 173 in ubuntu jaunty. i cant install it. nothing happens... [09:03] GibbaTheHutt: Static IP internal ? [09:03] whatdoido? [09:03] Name141, not sure what you are asking [09:04] GibbaTheHutt: "depends if any devices you have have a static IP somewhere" ? [09:04] mgmuscari: use UXA =p [09:04] hyperair: not sure FGLRX supports that? [09:04] Name141, yes I mean if any PC has an fixed IP, or some other device there has [09:05] mgmuscari: oh whoops [09:05] GibbaTheHutt: oh you mean like setup in Network Places , or whatever for the OS ? [09:05] mgmuscari: i thought you were using intel [09:05] hyperair: tried switching to EXA before and it brought down X @_@ [09:05] mgmuscari: haha poor thing [09:05] FireGL v5700 Mobility [09:05] Name141, anywhere basically, you just have PCs connected ? Are they all set for dhcp ? [09:05] reports to the system as Radeon HD3650 [09:06] nohelpformeiguess:( [09:06] GibbaTheHutt: er .. I dunno. They are all set to Obtain DNS and IPs auto [09:06] istuckw/oaspacebar! [09:06] blubaustin: buy a new keyboard [09:06] are u sponsored? [09:06] Name141, ok, then I think you "should" be fine :). I'd try it and then see where you get to, let us know what problems you have (if you can connect here) [09:07] hyperair: intel t9600 processor, ati firegl v5700 mobility, 4gb ram [09:07] those are the important specs i guess [09:07] mgmuscari: nice specs. [09:07] GibbaTheHutt: I'll give it a try in hours. My sat only has unlimited usage from 1-6 AM. [09:07] my external hard drive is not mounting where I want it to.. I want it mounted to /media/alpha but it mounts to /media/alpha_ [09:07] GibbaTheHutt: in 3 hours* [09:07] hyperair: i can't find any good info on this. compiz worked great in 8.10. so far i think it has to do with the new DRI implementation [09:08] mgmuscari: i'm using intel c2d T5750 [09:08] mgmuscari: 2G RAM, intel 965 [09:08] hyperair: any idea how to turn it off in Xorg.conf? [09:08] does that mean /media/alpha has been reserved? [09:08] mgmuscari: DRI2? i have no idea. [09:08] I have a ubuntu server and wish to connect ubuntu clients and an OSX client. I use nfs, but is there any better way? [09:08] mgmuscari: i think it's automatically turned off depending on what accel method [09:08] and if so how do I remove the reservation. [09:08] anybody_know_how_to_make_the_alt_key_be_mapped_to_be_the_space_bar?! [09:08] X logs tell me it's enabled by default [09:08] DRI and DRI2 [09:08] DRI module loads successfully [09:08] GibbaTheHutt: The thing is I don't understand , is I have have had this problem in Windows. It always picks the IP right up and doesn't make the router light blink. [09:08] blubaustin: why, did your space get mapped to _? [09:09] but i think it's buggy [09:09] blubaustin: look into using xmodmap [09:09] it_didn't [09:09] haven't had this problem in windows* [09:09] hi [09:09] my_spacebaR_doesn't_work! [09:09] blubaustin: ouch. [09:09] what package provides gtkmozembed?

[09:09] any_suggestions_I_know [09:09] blubaustin: you need spaces to type commands [09:09] _it_can_be_done [09:10] blubaustin: remove all the keys, unscrew the case, take out the button mat underneath, rinse it out with water, leave it overnight to dry in the disk rack [09:10] blubaustin: is there something wrong with your space bar? [09:10] blubaustin: you can copy and paste the 'space' [09:10] its_a_mac_keyboard [09:10] ljuwaidah: not working lol [09:10] hahahah [09:10] GibbaTheHutt: actually I might as well get on it. to see if it works.

[09:12] if it works then i will have solved this bug for a bunch of people in the Ubuntu forums :D [09:12] or at least provided a workaround til it's fixed... [09:12] sorry I got the wrong channel :P [09:12] blubaustin: xmodmap -e 'remove lock = Caps_Lock' ; xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = space' [09:13] blubaustin: this will make your capslock key work as space [09:13] Iwantctrl [09:13] oralt [09:13] plse_type_it [09:13] so_I_can [09:13] paste_it [09:13] blubaustin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:13] AK_Dave, no joy [09:13] why i am getting very low internet speed in ubuntu compared to windows. is this because of drivers problem .

[09:14] ? [09:14] blubaustin: its keycode 56 asfar as I remember... [09:14] Even though I am running Jaunty (upgraded from 9.04 beta etc), there is no option for me to import PST files using Evolutution. I presume you go in through the "Import Single File" route? Do I need to install Jaunty again? [09:14] at the grub screen, i hit 'e' and successfully inserted the given line among the others, just in front of 'quiet' -- but from there, i can't seem to boot [09:14] windows_key? [09:14] i_mean_applE_key [09:14] sorry [09:14] typing 'b' reboots from go, and i land in grub again [09:14] blubaustin: dunno [09:15] >_< [09:15] Xiong: I'm tapped on ideas. [09:15] h [09:15] i think i just don't understand what you intended [09:15] did i do right?

[09:18] my external hard drive is mounting on /media/mount_, one underscore more than from where I want it to mount.. does that mean that mount point is reserved, and how do I fix the problem? [09:19] why doesn't 9.xx or 8.10 work on my imac g3 the gui? [09:19] 8.04.2 does [09:19] ok, i hate to snivel but where do i go from here with my permanently disabled wireless? [09:19] where's displayconfig gone? [09:19] ifconfig? [09:19] How can I automount an ntfs partition rw on startup? [09:19] Does anyone know of any application (preferable for gnome environment) that let me control my cellphone from a bluetooth connection? (making calls, sending sms, using different dtmf teleservices and things like that) [09:20] so what's alternative to displayconfig-gtk in 9.04? [09:20] torkel_: there is the gnome phone manager.. it lets you send sms's and such.. it's quite simplistic [09:20] torkel_: they are several.. and it depends on the phone. [09:20] xorg.conf? [09:20] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:20] edit it [09:20] Slart: can I make call from that manager? [09:20] i know, but i want something for newbie [09:20] rainy-day: put it in the /etc/fstab [09:21] torkel_: I'm not really sure.. I've only used it to send sms [09:21] dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server or similar? [09:21] hello i have both xp and ubuntu installed. and my interenet speed is very low (10 times sometimes)in ubuntu compared to windows.why any idea. is this got to do with network card drivers. how do i fix this [09:21] willwill: you shouldn't need it [09:21] torkel_: as far as I remember no [09:21] rainy-day-> use ntfs-config you can install with : sudo apt-get install ntfs-config [09:21] muse: yeah I guess, I've successfully tried my bluetooth phone on asterisk and that seem to work. Know of any applications that I can try to check if my phone is compatible? [09:21] I have the weirdest of problems, My firefox locked up the entire computer when i was about to upload a file to my blog, i tried ctrl+alt+backspace, but later learned that it's been disabled... anyway, i ended up pushing the reset button. now every time ubuntu is done booting, and is about to show the login screen, it doesn't, instead it shows a messy screen which it blinks 3 og 4 times. this screen though messy displays the same screen i had [09:21] I don't, but someone asked on my loco and i'm too lazy to wrote the xorg configuration howto [09:21] quibbler: ok thx [09:21] okay, let's try this: can i reinstall ubuntu from the system rescue cd without trashing everything of mine? [09:22] Slart: Ok thank, I'll investigate and look if it suits my needs :) [09:22] torkel_: take a look at .... hmm gammu I think it's called [09:22] !info gammu [09:22] gammu (source: gammu): mobile phone management utility. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.22.1-1 (jaunty), package size 283 kB, installed size 724 kB [09:22] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does not ask for video driver (i think it was) [09:22] dpkg-reconfigre xog-server?

[09:38] vega_: give 9.04 a try using a live cd first.. [09:38] trelane: I cannot see how your message answers my question. [09:38] Okay. Why do you recommend that? [09:38] Just to make sure it doesn't have any major issues with my hardware? [09:38] vega_: I've upgraded 8.04->8.10->9.04 and it's worked alright for me.. I can't vouch for the 8.04->9.04 upgrade though [09:38] vega_: exactly [09:39] How do I go from 8.04 to 8.10? [09:39] vega_: I'm not sure there is an automated way.. [09:40] could anyone tell me why flash player does not work now that ive upgraded to 9.04? [09:40] Using crontab -e for a user, I add this entry: "33 * * * * echo "hi" >/tmp/hi.txt" and nothing is ouputted to that file. 39 * * * * /bin/sh -c 'echo "hi" >/tmp/hi.txt' = same thing [09:40] vega_: I have tried this. But my computer does not get network access after the 8.04 to 8.10 upgrade yet. [09:40] For my font problem, notice that I upgrader from 8.10 and it's not a fresh install. If anyone have a clue...

[09:42] now every time ubuntu is done booting, and is about to show the login screen, it doesn't, instead it shows a messy screen which it blinks 3 og 4 times. this screen though messy displays the same screen i had when i pushed the reset button... i tried the repair, resetting xorg.conf but nothing helps...

[09:50] do you really think they are going to help you now? [09:51] Slart: there's 4 official varients, and a LOAD of custom ones. [09:51] younder, I'd probably have to suggest the standard ubuntu. You can install one and try the different desktops if you like, no problem. [09:51] faileas: huh? [09:51] i just installed virtualbox (from virtualbox.org) on jaunty, but the icon does not show in the app menu. in the "main menu" preferences "sun virtualbox" shows under system tools and is activated... any ideas? [09:51] but none is particularly dev specific since different devs have different needs ;) [09:51] bsdnux, that's where it installs. [09:51] ubottu: what do you mean? [09:51] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:52] Slart: ? [09:52] Yondering, yeah, but it does not show in the application menu, only in the main menu preferences [09:52] zhxk, please do not repeat your question so often. [09:52] zhxk: i think you just annoyed a load of people [09:52] ie: i dont have it in the menu. i checked if its not activated in the prefs but it is. [09:53] jpds: please have a word with zhxk, we've tried and he/she wont listen [09:53] bsdnux, it puts the application icon under the system preferences? if you click it, it should open the app window. Sorry, haven't got vbox installed atm, but that's how I remember using it. [09:53] hey ive just had this odd issue [09:53] Samba uses 'trivial databases'. Where are they described in an introduction? There is no 'man tdbtool'. There is no 'man tdbdump'. There is no 'tdbbackup'. [09:54] ive tried the usual route of google and the docs, but cannot find anything really that useful. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial for moving my /var/www to a new physical drive ? [09:54] well, I think they are busy, will happy to see my patience and may feel guilty not answer my question. [09:54] i was using firefox (latest version) on the latest version of ubuntu right, i click google search button, nothing happens so i close firefox and try again a few times, still the button doesn't work [09:54] i restarted my computer and now, firefox still doesn't work properly [09:54] zhxk: If people don't answer, it's usually because they don't know the answer... [09:54] and all my menu shortcuts and spaces etc.. are gone [09:54] zhxk: this is how I unpacked my initrd.img gzip -dc < /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-server | cpio -i [09:54] zhxk: just google [09:54] Yondering: under System->Preferences->Main Menu where i can actiavte and deactivate application menu items, the virtualbox icon show. but not in the actual Applications->System Tools [09:54] anyone know why this would/could have happened? [09:55] bsdnux, hm. one moment, been meaning to install it on this box. downloading now. [09:55] kaveh: hmm.. check that your firefox profile hasn't gotten messed up.. I think it creates a new profile if that happens.. and then you end up with no bookmarks and such [09:55] DelGurth:thank you all the same [09:55] ha [09:55] now it's there.... [09:55] just took a while to update i guess [09:55] kaveh: there is a startup switch.. something like firefox --safe-mode [09:56] bsdnux, oh, yeah. the menus can be flaky sometimes like that. [09:56] DelGurth: what edition of irc client do you use? [09:56] kaveh: sorry.. firefox -safe-mode to start without plugins etc.. firefox -ProfileManager to select what profile you want to sue [09:56] the firefox isnt such a big issue as is the fact that it keeps wiping my ubuntu shortcuts aswell [09:56] kaveh: what edition of irc client do you use? [09:57] helo [09:57] XChat? [09:57] 2.8.6 [09:57] kaveh: thx [09:58] how do I switch to an external monitor from Laptop ? Jaunty. [09:58] well the profile fixed firefox - thanks slart , how about the ubuntu panels? all spacings get removed and all shortcuts become 'unconfigured' upon restarting? [09:59] what is the default grub splashimage on jaunty? [09:59] kaveh: no idea about that one.. sorry [09:59] is there a way to "reset"\"reinstall" the kernel? [09:59] anybody knows how to stopx after initiate startx? [10:00] where i can find free dvd repo ubuntu like shipit.com? [10:00] So what's the issue with Compiz and the OpenGL GLUT library? I'm not getting a window frame with GLUT apps. [10:01] zhxk: press ctrl+alt+f1 to get a tty.. then run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop it should stop X.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to restart it [10:02] EmLoD: I'm not sure if it work but you could try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-blablabla" [10:02] I have two harddisks, one isn't being used - /, /home and /usr are all on the first hard disk - what i want to do is put /usr onto the second hard disk and make / and /home the entirety of the first hard disk. i was thinking of just tarring all my files and using a live cd to untar but there would be some issue with that, anyone know of a way to completely move /usr to the 2nd hard disk and resize home to become all of the fir [10:02] st harddisk? [10:03] kaveh: I think the live cd idea sounds good.. you'll do an awful lot of reboots doing it on a live system [10:03] kaveh: You could mount your new drive under a diferent name, use cp -pR to copy all the files with permissions preserved to the new drive. [10:03] kaveh: of course, you'll have to update your fstab so everything is mounted correctly.. but I guess that's the easy part [10:04] kaveh: Then you probably need to enter single user mode to delete /usr, and remount the new drive as usr. But be dead sure the fstab entry for that works before you reboot [10:04] so i could just use cp -pR /usr/ to copy it to the 2nd hard disk and just update my fstab? [10:05] kaveh: I think that ought to work, but don't take my word for it. Not 100% sure how -p handles symlinks, you better check that. [10:05] Slart: i just run startx and it go into a basic desktop [10:05] !paste images [10:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about paste images [10:06] i want free ubuntu dvd repo help me? [10:06] kaveh: If you mount something in /usr and /usr isn't empty though, the files will still be there, on your old drive, just invisible. [10:06] kaveh: so you need to operate your system without /usr for a moment while you're deleting it. Perhaps safest done from a boot CD. [10:06] aah k, so copied files will be mounted, old files will be on the old hard disk - use a live cd to copy and delete and update fstab then? once thats done is it possible to resize /home to use the entire first hard disk? [10:07] hello, what can you say about 9.04? is it reliable enough for productive usage? [10:07] Yes [10:07] kaveh: Sounds like a plan? :) [10:07] zhxk: yes? [10:07] thank you very much :) [10:08] i have everythign backed up i just dont want to reinstall all my extra packages :P so worst comes to worst i put a clean install on [10:08] kaveh: very good, then. You should be able to test your new usr folder too [10:08] anyone: whats the biggest change from 8.04 to 9.04 ? [10:09] Slart:yes, but it haven't menu and icon, just an graphic bash-like console [10:09] !whatsnew [10:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about whatsnew [10:09] !jaunty [10:09] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) is the current release of Ubuntu.

Should it fail, you can rename your old /usr. [10:09] hello [10:10] zaggynl: thanks, but i thought rather of personal opinions [10:10] bah firefox has died on me again [10:10] kaveh: Got that? :) [10:10] "Could not initialize the applications security component" [10:10] firefox eats up 550mb ram on my machine sometimes [10:10] can I get some help on a xubuntu issue here? [10:10] its not even an issue, i just don tknow how to do something [10:11] zhxk: I have no idea what that might be... sounds like one of those early, very basic desktop managers.. twm or similar [10:11] sure Rapachooie [10:11] so your saying make a new /usr/, fstab it so that i definitely have a /usr [10:11] !ask | Rapachooie [10:11] Rapachooie: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[10:21] arvind_khadri: I can watch movies with sound music from online no prooblems but no games have sound [10:21] arvind_khadri:did that too [10:21] i figured i could re-enable it the same way -- but the menu item is now just ... gone [10:21] belim: i was wondering that myself [10:21] glitsj16, thanks dude [10:21] Hallo. I'm asked to setup a small news server in our company. What server would you recommend? cnews? inn? inn2? [10:21] guys, anyone knows a database design tool for linux? don't say umbrello, it's for UML, I need one for databases :) [10:21] this is freaking me out because if i can't connect, i can't get help with anything -- including the connection issue [10:22] Yopu, I am running it and it seems fine but I just read a thread on the forums stating its not.... [10:22] since i can't depend on a wired connection; i just won't have it much longer -- i mean in terms of hours [10:22] chillitom: add the GPG key for that PPA to avoid nagging ;) [10:22] Yopu, and I dont fancy running something that is unreliable [10:22] belim: agreed [10:22] please help me to get the wireless back on -- i'm perfectly happy to reinstall everything under the sun, if only i could be told how [10:22] glitsj16, will do [10:23] hi ubuntu [10:23] hi aiman [10:24] how can i install older packages? I want to roll back evolution and evolution-exchange to the 8.10 version (2.24 i believe) but cant figure out how to do it [10:24] guys, i've installed xubuntu-desktop on top of my ubuntu... i've noticed that when i minimize an application, the application icon doesn't show on the panel/taskbar so that i could just click on it to restore... how do i fix this? [10:25] crontab is not working, do I have to run crontab -e as root or what? [10:25] StarTrek_XI_: define not working ? [10:25] i want it to run a script, but it doesnt do it [10:25] it doesnt state that there are any additional version available [10:26] belim: I think you can add the 8.10 repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list (also via your packagemanager) and select the proper version (force version) [10:26] hi all [10:26] ciao [10:26] chi è italiano/a?

[10:27] guys, please [10:27] StarTrek_XI_, have you checked the crontab log, scripts not running from crontab are usually related to impropert setup of the shell environment, there are significant differentes between running an interactive shell and a cron shell [10:27] i'm ready to blow it all up [10:27] Xiong: sup? [10:27] anyone have problems with firefox and joomla in ubuntu 8.10? [10:27] I can't play my DVD in 9.04 (I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras) can anyone help me?

Even for something like evolution which is already broken? lol [10:27] i don't know [10:27] ikonia, thanks [10:28] arvind_khadri, belim: I guess you could try for individual packages, but I agree, no garantees [10:28] traskbt: give that a go, then we can work through the problems [10:28] Xiong: it it internal to your system, or an external sticky outy bit [10:28] ActionParsnip, i think pci [10:28] internal [10:28] belim, yes, dont do that.... [10:28] Xiong: then its pci [10:28] belim, what exactly do you mean by broken over here?

[10:29] arvind_khadri, well the evolution-exchange plugin constantly says "Lost Connection to Exchange Backend" which seems to be a very old bug which was resolved as I was using it fine in 8.10 but is now a problem again. And the MAPI support seems massively unstable, I can list the issues if you like?... :) [10:29] i right-clicked the network icon in the system tray and disabled wireless, thinking i could re-enable it the same way [10:30] now the option to enable is just ... gone -- the entire menu item is not shown [10:30] Xiong: ok [10:30] arvind_khadri, It is really annoying as I NEED exchange support lol [10:30] hey everybody [10:30] Xiong: does sudo iwlist scan show APs? [10:30] belim, in 9.04 ? [10:30] in between, i hibernated [10:30] arvind_khadri, yup in 9.04. fresh install not an upgrade [10:30] omg another problem. im trying to format my 2nd hard disk - it is /dev/sdb1/ - sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1/ gives me the result "Unable to open /dev/sdb1/" [10:30] and another fellow thought the interaction blew the wireless up [10:30] anyone got any ideas? [10:31] * Xiong tries that [10:31] anyone using amilo sa 3650? [10:31] i'm new here [10:31] kaveh: its sudo fdisk /dev/sdb [10:31] and i have qustion [10:31] belim, check the bts,to see if any work around has been presented [10:31] kaveh: it isn't /dev/sdb1/ its /dev/sdb. but if you're formatting you're not wanting to use fdisk [10:31] kaveh: fdisk works on the disk, sdb1 is only a partition [10:31] !ask | mintx [10:31] !ask | mintx [10:31] mintx: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[10:32] i want to remoev everything on the hard disk [10:32] !mint | mintx [10:32] mintx: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[10:32] belim, bug tracking system, :) [10:32] thanks [10:32] lol [10:32] i upgraded to jaunty and broke my radeon 8500. i was hoping if i downgrade X to 1.5.4 (as in ibex) i should be fine. is there an easy way to downgrade X completely? i added ibex back into my sources.list and can do it a package at a time, but it seems quite cumbersome if i want all of X to be the same older version [10:32] kaveh: then fdisk /dev/sdb, delete them all, create a new one, mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1 [10:32] ExIlErC33: Yes [10:32] Xiong: sudo rmmod ipw2200; sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart; sudo modprobe ipw2200; sudo ifup wlan0; sudo iwlist scan [10:32] hahaha aight then [10:33] Xiong: if the device isnt known as wlan0, change the name [10:33] fdisk /dev/sdb just gave me the same error as /dev/sdb1 - it ends up saying "Unable to open /dev/sdb" [10:33] arvind_khadri, LOL! oh right. Well googling didnt come up with anything except really old issues. I will take a look though. Launchpad? [10:33] can i use clam antivirus? [10:33] ExIlErC33: Does not compute. Are you looking for iraq gold? [10:33] dont worry its working [10:33] kaveh: then run: sudo fdisk -l to verify the disk name [10:33] slash at the end xD [10:33] kaveh: does /dev/sdb even exist? :) [10:33] kaveh: hehe, silly [10:33] Hi.

[10:33] exist openjdk plugin in ubuntu? [10:34] Xiong: hopefully reloading the kernel module and restarting hal will nudge it into working [10:34] wait, i have issues [10:34] mintx: perhaps.. you should ask whoever created your distro [10:34] silly me :P [10:34] Xiong: i never said i was going anywhere....

It seems like udev hasn't populated /dev/mapper by the time that S30checkfs.sh and S35mountall.sh run. However, once I'm dropped to a shell, I can do a 'mount -a' with no issues and then continue. How can I fix this? [11:02] how can I repair apt, as it segv since this morning ? [11:02] tons of it [11:02] Tauop: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update [11:02] i can't figure out how to capture it, tho [11:02] Xiong: good, read it and you will see whats going on [11:02] it just blorts out [11:02] anyone had problems that while watching streamed video (vimeo), at random times, sound just dies, and only thing that helps is restarting the stream? Where would I go to make the bugreport on this? [11:02] ActionParsnip: yep [11:02] i've tried manually building the driver, but it says "unable to build fglrx.ko" [11:02] when i'm installing [11:03] Xiong: thats why you pipe it into less, you use cursor up and down to read up and down the ext [11:03] Tauop, what have you done before the problem ? Most likely you corrupted either apr or some system libs [11:03] pr0phet1: I don't know what i should edit in that file and i don't wanna break everything if possible [11:03] ActionParsnip, you are pulling my leg; i don't understand a single thing i see [11:03] Xiong: look for errors and warnings [11:04] Is there any way to disable the "parallel boot" feature so that udev finishes creating /dev/mapper before the checkfs and mountall occur? [11:04] pulzer, there are reporte issues with sis an intel grafik in jaunty [11:04] ActionParsnip, it is totally opaque to me [11:04] anyone who knows how to get hold of a deb of alsa 1.0.19? [11:04] sgallagh: it should do that anywawy because of the depends [11:04] sorry but i'd be a bigger fool if i said i could make any sense of it [11:04] linduxed: don't do it, it won't be an ubuntu apcakge [11:04] pckage [11:05] bullgard4: tdb has a sourceforge page.. and a freshmeat page.. none offer too much documentation.. I'm not sure you're supposed to edit those by hand.. you could of course look at the source code as a last measure [11:05] Xiong: read through and you will see lines relating to wireless, and the kernel module it uses [11:05] ikonia: ?? [11:05] ikonia: It doesn't appear to be a depend, actually [11:05] Xiong: and you'll see it get an IRQ [11:05] sgallagh: that's very surprising [11:05] hello all [11:05] linduxed: if ubuntu don't package it, dont drop it on your system [11:05] gdevilspie isn't packaged, but it works fine :) [11:05] ikonia: and is that so bad? ive been forced to install some stuff already through make&&sudo make install [11:06] just tell me how to copy the text out; maybe if i could paste it into office, then i could at least search through it [11:06] can somebody help me with volume buttons which not work after installing jaunty jackalope 9.04 xubuntu [11:06] hp nc 6400 [11:06] linduxed: then you'll break your package manager and possible do damage to your system unless you %100 know what you're doing [11:06] worked with interpid 8.04 [11:06] or direct the output into a text file? [11:06] Is there specific options i need to enable or disable in the kernel for the ati drivers to install properly? [11:06] linduxed: there are some install scripts for alsa 1.0.19, do a websearch ... but keep ikonia's note in mind [11:06] Xiong: I'm not sure how, but you can use ctrl+w to search [11:06] Eneerge: I suppose that'd be fine if you're just running the GUI to configure, as in not installing it. :) [11:06] what do i have to change in xorg.conf to get nVidia drivers running? [11:06] Xiong: dmesg > ~/dmesg.txt [11:06] glitsj16: ikonia: ill be careful [11:06] Ojii: One or two cards? [11:07] what? [11:07] anybody?

(im using xfce and before the update everything was smooth) [11:07] Ojii: i dident have to change anything - the tools did it all. [11:07] sgallagh: but i can't install nvidia drivers in jaunty and get errors when booting [11:07] zura: nobody knows what a HP NC 6400 is [11:07] It installs, but it fails when it's creating the fglrx.ko module, which means it won't give me 3d support [11:07] kora-chan: I don't think you can do a downgrade [11:07] Ojii: heres my xorg.conf for my 8800gtsXXX --> http://www.c64upgra.de/c-one/ [11:07] Ojii:laptop [11:07] zura: if you can give us details we may be able to help [11:07] which is what i'm looking for so i can get a good compiz setup [11:08] zura: yse [11:08] *yes [11:08] Ojii: heres my xorg.conf for my 8800gtsXXX --> oops worong url http://pastebin.com/f56f81c58 [11:08] glitsj16 the panel properties are locked [11:08] ActionParsnip, where was that file created? [11:08] thx dr_willies [11:08] Ojii: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [11:08] Slart: I agree that I am not supposed to edit tdbs by hand. But I stumbled over a tdb with a recent Samba error. So knowing more about them could be an advantage. (I still have not been able to fix my Samba error.) -- Thank you for your comment. [11:08] kora-chan, you have sis or intel grafik ? [11:08] thx dr_willis [11:08] ActionParsnip:what details do you want to know [11:08] not in my documents folder [11:08] linduxed: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046137 has info on the script it offers, i used it recently, tested the fallback option and all's good [11:08] jane_: intel gma 945 [11:08] Xiong: in your home dir, thats what ~ means. If you are stillusing root then its in /root [11:08] sound works, but not the volume buttons on my laptop, which worked in 8.04 [11:08] jane_: im not using desktop effects [11:08] no, i didn't see you ask for sudo [11:09] zura: what is the thing yu are naming so very vagualy? a printer? a scanner? A keyboard? [11:09] but no longer in 9.04, only the mute button works, and is there any configuration file where I can change the values? [11:09] panel is locked [11:09] bullgard4: well.. the source code is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdb/ if you want to look at it [11:09] dr_willis: my xorg.conf has way fewer entries, is that a big problem?

[11:09] zura: ok so what is wrong with te keyboard [11:10] kora-chan, ther are already bug reports on intel grafik lets hope they fix it look at official bug report page [11:10] zura: ok, run xev in termianl. Does the terminal react when you press the buttons? [11:10] neither is 'pan0' [11:10] mib_xulj02e8: you should have a setting somewhere for customizing panels, look around in your menus i'd say (on xubuntu myself, don't know the exact item name) [11:10] RaverWild: useradd [11:10] volume buttons dont work [11:10] ActionParsnip: joaopinto : update-notifier-kde log -> http://pastebin.com/d6807b2de, apt-get update log -> http://pastebin.com/m59af51dc, strace of apt-get update ->http://pastebin.com/d8d83c15 .

Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." [11:12] Ojii: And what happens if you tell it to select the nvidia driver? [11:12] ActionParsnip, you just said, the name of the kernel module it uses -- how do i learn that? [11:12] I cant rebuild my raid in case of data incosistency [11:12] sgallagh: it gives me a installatino bar which stays on 0% for a few seconds and closes again [11:12] mib_xulj02e8: no right-click Preferences > Unlock option ? [11:12] ikonia, thanks man [11:12] ok, I have a keycode [11:13] 123 for button volume up [11:13] its locked >>it would been better if i get a gnome user [11:13] Ojii: Ok, that's a bug in the restricted driver installer.

[11:13] mib_xulj02e8: true :) [11:13] xiroV: or try magicrescue [11:13] Xiong: sudo lshw -C network [11:13] I've heard ubuntu is open source and as such, fully customizable by a decent programmer. How do I learn to start modefying it? [11:13] I'm not a 'good' programmer, but I do know the basics. [11:13] !contribute [11:13] To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [11:13] thanks. [11:14] vega u knw programming like c and python [11:14] Slart, i'm trying.. thanks a lot [11:14] Ok, does anyone in here know anything at all about using LVM2 with Ubuntu? [11:14] xiroV: you're welcome.. hope you find your file again [11:14] Slart: ask [11:14] Xiong: sudo lshw -C network | grep module [11:14] Because it "Just Doesn't Work" [11:14] Slart: sorry [11:14] sgallagh: ask [11:14] sgallagh: use the alternate disk [11:14] sgallagh: what do you mean with 'file it' and how does that solve my problem? [11:14] Slart, thanks :) [11:14] * Slart tries to think of a question =) [11:14] and read very carefully. i keep mucking it up when i do ;p [11:14] any gnome user here [11:15] ActionParsnip, okay, i got another big swath of output from that [11:15] Xiong: the driver you see is something else you can search for [11:15] how to move that panel from top to bottom [11:15] Xiong: you will, its a detailed command [11:15] wine still causin system lock up when activating any program with a folder browser, unless I enable compiz, however, the folders/files i click on turn black, and it does eventually lockup. any ideas? [11:15] how do i rebuild a degraded raid1 disk? [11:15] mib_xulj02e8: rightclick->properties->orientation [11:15] ikonia: I've asked. I created an LVM2 /home directory. It's in the /etc/fstab as UUID= /home ext3 0 0 [11:15] what now? [11:15] stargazer84: same as a normal array but mark one of the disks as "missing" [11:15] sgallagh: ok - now what ? [11:15] Ojii: ITS LOCKED [11:16] in ubuntu 9.04 ...i tried to activate the extra setting in visual effect but it desplays this msg "Desktop effects could not be enabled" [11:16] Xiong: you may have noticed, Linux takes a lot fo reading. Its not windows where you just click next and hope and pray [11:16] ikonia: It does not mount at boot, causing no end of problems, but it can be mounted by hand with 'mount -a' [11:16] sgallagh, i dabble... [11:16] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d5cc0b10a [11:16] ikonia: I am not familiar with that! [11:16] So it looks to me like it's probably an issue with the parallel boot [11:16] it says some features are locked if ur ubuntu user u would know [11:16] it's entirely possible that i don't belong here [11:16] iam using ibex [11:16] but i can't stand the thought of using windows and i refuse to buy any more of steve's koolaid [11:16] Xiong: bingo, ok the part that says UNCLAIMED [11:16] sgallagh: when you do the say "/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1" options in the mdadm do "/dev/sda1 missing" and it will mark a disk as missing [11:16] Xiong: means it dosnt have a driver [11:16] Ojii: Sorry, it doesn't really solve your problem, but I'm no expert on it. What I meant was go to Launchpad and file a bug on it so that someone who knows more about it will get back to you [11:17] anyone???hey????Desktop effects could not be enabled [11:17] Xiong: you need to get a driver installed for taht device [11:17] sgallagh: is it just a physical disk in the volume group, or a raid device ? [11:17] ActionParsnip, that is a point i came to about 2 hours ago, with another guy [11:17] sgallagh: ah okay, really desperately want those drivers, can't even watch movies in fullscreen atm... [11:17] the issue being, the wifi worked fine 12 hours ago [11:17] whats the good use of authorization [11:17] ikonia: It's just two physical disks in an extensible partition [11:17] Slart, can you tell me how to use magicrescue? i can't see any GUI, and i don't understand the terminal "usage:" [11:17] !shortcuts > zura [11:17] zura, please see my private message [11:17] where did the driver go? [11:17] ikonia: No RAID [11:17] how can it be replaced? [11:17] xiroV: hmm.. hang on.. let me check [11:18] Xiong: then websearch on how to set up an Intel 2915ABG device [11:18] sgallagh: boot up again and see if the error is on the vgchange -a y option or after t [11:18] * Xiong looks [11:18] in using tuxguitar i have to chnge the sound setting n tht sometimes turns off the sound in the audio players... can neone explain? [11:18] ikonia: plz pm [11:18] Ojii: That's because the open-source driver in Ubuntu is the crappy "nv" driver instead of the good "Nouveau" driver [11:19] also iam not quite getting full sound in ubuntu [11:19] whats the issue [11:19] stargazer84: why? the channel is fine [11:19] xiroV: you've read the man page? man magicrescue [11:19] I cant catch up [11:19] I can't see my shares in new Jaunty installation... anyone got any ideas ? [11:19] Hey everyone! [11:19] Slart, oh.. i will :) [11:19] ikonia: How do I tell? [11:19] stargazer84: when you do your "mdadm --create blah blah /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1" change it to mdadm --create blah blah /dev/sda1 missing" [11:19] anyone know, when you set up cups printing in ubuntu, what do you add in on the windows computer as the printer url? i cant find this anywhere [11:19] this guy is me, not literally but he could be my twin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343738 [11:20] sgallagh: remove the boot splash so you can watch the boot messages [11:20] no answers [11:20] Does anyone have any idea how to restrict the desktop boundaries on a dual screen setup using different screen resolutions in Jaunty? [11:20] `4 [11:20] Anyone know how to disable nautilus 'mini-mode' when opening folders from the desktop? === anomie is now known as Guest30369 [11:21] okay, i'm going to admit defeat [11:21] xiroV: basically it searches a device for known filetypes and saves each file in the "output" directory.. I think it comes with several filetypes already defined (recipies i think it calls them) so I think just running "sudo magicrescue /dev/sde2" might work.. [11:21] Hi, when my laptop boots (9.04) java uses between 45% and 50% of my CPU and stays there till I kill it. [11:21] it's a bootstrap problem, i don't have enough knowledge to figure out the next step to learn more [11:21] ActionParsnip, everyone else who helped, thank you [11:22] Desktop effects could not be enabled????in extra setting of visual effects??

So is there anyone having problems of too big menu font size with firefox 3.1beta3 and ubunt 9.04 ? [11:39] Buerste: upgrade didn't work. probably wrong drivers in initrd. try doing a cold install. [11:40] i got installed ubuntu 9.04 and i used apt-get install kubuntu-desktop but i have gnome as default, why did it changed my bootskin with kubuntu bootskin ? [11:40] anyone know how to get firefox menu bar to use light fonts when a dark GTK theme is selected? [11:41] cybersplice, I chrooted twice downloaded the kernel new from server, what else may I do? [11:41] cybersplice, I don't want to reinstall the complete system [11:41] Buerste: I don't know the procedure for making an initrd well enough to feel comfortable giving advice. I'd suggest mounting the raid array with a livecd, backing up your data, and reinstalling. [11:42] chillitom: what verison of FX do you have ? [11:42] cybersplice, that the stupid thing I did every time I upgraded ubuntu till now -.- [11:43] NicolasM14, 3.0 and 3.5 [11:43] Yeah, I don't upgrade production equipment. :) [11:43] If you want stability, why not use 8.04? [11:43] cybersplice, because its buggy ... [11:44] hi. wireshark is giving me 'bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)' when I want to play a RTP stream. any ideas why? [11:44] cybersplice, crashing often on my system, sound is gone for no reason, sound is lagging, graphical issius [11:44] Buerste: in what way? [11:44] s [11:44] hey, im trying to copy over my entire /usr onto another hard disk (aka kaveh from before) and, using a live cd, it seems to be broken i cant startx (i only have a Xubuntu live cd) anyways point is that my /usr folder seems to be empty when i look at it from command line. i am 100% certain im lookin at the right spot, copying the folder (cp -r) just copies the folder and no contents, all contents seem to be missing [11:44] any clues? [11:44] chillitom: wich verison of Ubuntu ? [11:45] I cannot use the visual effects in the appearance preferences.. Could please someone help me? [11:45] hi [11:45] Buerste: Probably stick with 8.10, and wait for a few weeks before upgrading. [11:45] NicolasM14, 9.04 [11:45] quazimodo: Make sure it's the right partition. [11:45] i blacklisted my wireless network driver, and a while after, i removed it from the blacklist again.. but it still seems to be blacklisted for some reason.. any ideas or solutions? [11:45] AaronMT: im certain it is [11:45] NicolasM14, the NewWave desktop theme [11:45] You could even try reinstalling using existing partition layout === john is now known as Severity2 [11:46] every other file on the partition is there, except what should be in /usr [11:46] and you installed the 3.5 version from the binary downloaded on mozilla.com ? Don't you have any font size problems in FX menus ? [11:46] unless [11:46] cybersplice, does the desktopinstaller now support mdadm devices? [11:46] if my /usr is using a different partition then the files will be in the other partition? [11:47] Buerste: I don't know off the top of my head. [11:47] im a tool xD i think my /usr is in the sda2 while everything else is sda1 - thanks AaronMT [11:47] I cannot use the visual effects in the appearance preferences.. Could please someone help me? [11:47] Hi. What is the best way to set up grub to use a usb hard drive to host ubuntu, without it choking when the usb disk is not plugged in? [11:48] :) Sorry I am new to grub, and coming back to linux after an absence of 4 years [11:49] abc123: i guess any os will choke if it's just not there... as well as a bootloader that tries to load it. please clarify what you want to do [11:49] When i start up my PC ubuntu informs me my battery is down to 48% of what it was when i first bought it and that it 'may be broken'. Is there a menu somewhere that shows me this information after i close the dialogue that appears at startup? [11:49] chillitom: and you installed the 3.5 version from the binary downloaded on mozilla.com ? Don't you have any font size problems in FX menus ? [11:50] It's not in the power management menu [11:51] I would like the bootloader to default to my win xp, on /dev/sda2. If it finds the plugged in usb, I would like it to give me the choice boot windows or ubuntu (on /dev/sdb3). [11:52] Is it safe to purge libgnome-pilot2?

[11:53] hey guys is there a gnome base backage that has a basic install of gnome [11:53] sparkie: it did for me, but there is no way that it should have to [11:54] what happened to your computer abc123?

Could please someone help me? pleeeease [11:54] mobi-sheep: at least I'm with that prob. I just have the resolution fuzzy with a certain user [11:54] Sparkie: No. The point of Live CD is to allow you to understand what you would be doing on Ubuntu (Linux). This way, you can go back to Windows if you felt like you're not ready. Anything you do on LiveCD will not affect Windows unless you intend to change partitions or similar administrative tasks. [11:54] abc123: that's not possible afaik. grub isn't "scriptable" in that way. why don't you just use winxp as the default entry and ubuntu as the second, and prompt for 3 seconds or something?

Now my system fails to boot unless I have the usb drive plugged in. [11:56] ouch [11:56] ale_: you have intel x3100? [11:56] eagles0513875: same as with all the other virtual packages [11:56] szf: no I have an nvidia card [11:56] gsd: Meanwhile, I suggest you boot into the said user and look into X.org configuration file. Maybe you can change the settings from there. [11:57] ale_: sorry, i cant help w nvidia [11:57] Myrtti: thing is on kubuntu-desktop you end up removing the entire package to remove what you dont want. [11:57] hbekel: Thanks, that is quite a good idea, but will grub allow that if the usb drive is not plugged in? [11:57] abc123: can you change the boot order in your bios to try to boot from usb first, then fixed disk? if soo, reinstall the win xp bootloader to the fixed disk and install grub on the mbr of the usb drive itself [11:57] szf: thanks anyway [11:57] Hi all [11:57] Is Debiand more dificult than Ubuntu? [11:58] Juanjo: It is, if you're using a latest hardware... because of compatible. [11:58] Juanjo, please discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:58] abc123: for my first suggestion, grub should only care that the usb drive is not there if you try the ubuntu entry [11:58] hbekel: good idea.

[11:59] cybersplice: sorry? [12:00] ale_: Try downloading the latest nVidia driver and reinstalling it. Some graphics drivers were blacklisted due to crashes in compiz. [12:00] abc123: all given that you can tell your bios to boot from usb first. then you should be able to plug in usb and boot to ubuntu by default, otherwise boot win by default === john is now known as Severity1 [12:00] cybersplice: in synaptic? === Yoda is now known as Guest16160 [12:01] eagle: there is no such thing as gnome base package with no programs installed.

That's not possible because the apps that came with Gnome-desktop are from Gnome. Ubuntu have no say in this. :) [12:02] This was caused somehow by an incorrect jaunty upgrade. My system has all the jaunty packages, but is somehow running the 8.10 kernel, so i know the upgrade was bonked [12:03] chillitom: do you think that our two problems can be the same causes ?

[12:31] I have a relatively new machine with integrated intel graphics card [12:31] should I install 8.10 or 9.04? [12:31] I read that intel gfx driver in 9.04 in combination with latest X is performing horribly [12:31] kholerabb1: probably, what's nemo? [12:31] indus: HISPEED [12:31] Hi. I'm having trouble when watching youtube and resizing the vid to fullscreen. The screen just fades to black and then freezes. What should I do? [12:31] Almindor: 9.04 is the latest version. You should not always believe what you hear. Problems vary for every user. [12:31] indus: TOPSEED [12:32] indus: TOPSPEED [12:32] Almindor: And if you are feeling unease, you should stick with Ubuntu LTS 8.04. I find Jaunty to be working well for me. [12:32] mobi-sheep, well honestly 9.04 is a failure for me (Ati mobility radeon x1600) [12:32] yao_ziyuan: thats the name of webcam? [12:32] mobi-sheep, but I don't need 3d on this intel machine, just nice 2d speeds (and phoronix is a pretty decent source IMHO) [12:32] yao_ziyuan: what is the problem with the webcam? does it not work? [12:32] Almindor: Did you look up the problems / solution on Ubuntu Community site? [12:32] Question: Just installed netbook-remix on top of ubuntu studio jaunty using this "how to" http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-netbook-remix-in-ubuntu-810804.html Every thing works fine exept from when i open a window (program) it goes to maximized by default, and thats okey, but the line whit exit, minimize and maximize buttons disapperes when window is maximized.. How can i fix this? Ive tried too google it but aint shure what to search for (my [12:33] anybody know how i can use a livecd to modify the fstab of an existing ubuntu installation? [12:33] indus: trying [12:33] mobi-sheep, there's none, ati dropped r500- cards from fglrx drivers and older ones don't support this new X [12:33] sindre: That's netbook. You should right-click on the taskbar (which the window is) and you'll get a menu. [12:33] mobi-sheep, I'm stuck without proper 3d on 9.04 (will downgrade tho) [12:34] * Almindor usually keeps with latest as well, but gfx performance is a must [12:34] Almindor: Good luck. I don't think you can downgrade, but yeah. You might have to install it again. :( [12:34] in terminal type lsusb [12:34] indus: xsane recognized the webcam and can take a picture but the picture is nonsense [12:34] Hi. I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the 60 second waiting period when trying to shutdown or log out. [12:34] quazimodo_: boot the live cd, mount the partition that hosts /etc/fstab, edit it, umount, done [12:35] Almindor: what's wrong with the open-source "radeon" driver? [12:35] yao_ziyuan: name of webcam is topspeed? [12:35] sgallagh, it doesn't do shaders well [12:36] sgallagh, try savage2 or penumbra (I payed for both, so no I'm not sticking with radeon at least not yet) [12:36] radeon driver blows with full 3D games.. its ok for games like hedgewars tho [12:36] hence, im back on intrepic [12:36] yeah, will do same on this machine [12:36] rw: I think this will help https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fast-user-switch-applet/+bug/364858 [12:36] I think I'll stick with 8.10 for intel too === _Floops is now known as balgus [12:37] I am getting "Could not open location 'davs://{servername}:2078/' HTTP Error: Connection terminated unexpectedly" in Jaunty/Nautilus when trying to connect to a secure WebDAV on port 2078.

[12:37] indus: yes [12:37] I have a question about getting pidgin to work in Ubuntu 9.04. Why is it that I have to do "killall pidgin; mv ~/.purple ~/.purple_old; pidgin &" to get pidgin to work everytime and how can I keep my current settings so that it will logon every time from now on with the settings I've added ?

Try and start Pidgin with a clean state, then from there... make new settings to suit your needs. And see if it start again without moving .purple. [12:39] yao_ziyuan: try command lsusb in terminal [12:39] mobi-sheep, I have tried that and it will not connect out [12:39] Polterge|st: Is it possible that you're using outdated .purple folder (settings)?

[12:40] indus: anyway, i found the manufacturer's website and it only provides windows drivers [12:41] indus: is it true that normally a usb webcam can use linux's standard driver? [12:41] my webcam works [12:41] mobi-sheep: http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/3434/fx31b3jaunty.png and http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/8163/fx30jaunty.png [12:42] yao_ziyuan: in the linux world ,there is no such thing as a driver for most hardware [12:42] NicolasM14: Is this related to System --> Preferences --> Appearances --> (Look Under Fonts Size) ? [12:43] yao_ziyuan: all reverse engineered into the kernel itself, i have a usb webcam logitech which works without installing anything [12:43] how can I change the screen resolution in gnome2/ubuntu through the console (and not by xorg.conf) ?

It appears to conform to the guidelines I have read for a reasonable if not "good" question here. Can someone tell me why it should be, to all appearances, invisible? [12:43] mobi-sheep: I'm in 96dpi in system prefs. And no other program have this pb except Thunderbird 3.0 beta which is based on the same engine as FX... [12:44] arg...no information at all about openoffice on the oracle site or in their faq :< i suspect a lot of the java projects are going to get the axe as well [12:44] yao_ziyuan: it actually uses the gspca kernel module/driver whatever you call it [12:44] indus, um.. "into the kernel itself" not quite, depends on how the kernel is compiled and which modules are loaded but in the end it is drivers [12:44] indus: you mean the kernel specializes for every major hardware brand? [12:44] (our office just migrated from ms office to open office recently, it's really too bad) [12:44] indus, windows has some "default" drivers too [12:44] indus: anyway i have a win xp virtual machine in vbox and i may use this usb device in it... [12:45] yao_ziyuan, nah, he just ment to say that drivers in linux are usually part of the kernel package group [12:45] NicolasM14: Well, since you're using 7inch netbook, you might be well off with 72 DPI. And you're using Beta, which shouldn't be helped at all. Also, you could use Font Rendering --> Subpixel smoothing (LCD).

[12:47] rlol [12:47] yao_ziyuan: It's for scanners. :) [12:47] and if that doesn't work then I dunno [12:47] !

[12:50] thank you all [12:50] ekiga wouldn't give you as much options as something like cheese probably but still allows you to take a simple picture [12:50] yao_ziyuan: cool [12:50] and i think cheese should be more automatically integrated into the system [12:50] like in windows, a webcam is automatically in the device tree [12:50] http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html this page says your webcam works very well [12:50] seamless integration with windows explorer [12:51] yao_ziyuan: Linux is NOT Windows.

[13:16] mobi-sheep, I thought about that also [13:17] I don't know what permissions I should set on all that stuff though in order to not mess anything up [13:17] Polterge|st: My .purple contains a --> drwx------ [13:17] I'll check mine [13:17] stratovarius: Hmm, check your proxy settings -- they should look like this http://sine.cluenet.org/~grawity/dump/firefox-socks-config.png -- except for the SOCKS port! [13:17] is there an easy way to get the nvidia drivers running on jaunty? [13:17] any attempt i did failed [13:18] Polterge|st: Have you tried running Pidgin in debug mode? Open terminal, run pidgin --debug [13:18] how many gBs are needed by the / partition? === yacc__ is now known as yacc [13:18] grawity, now if i try to open last link u gave me firefox says me connection refused by proxy server [13:18] mobi-sheep, mine is also drwx------ [13:18] Polterge|st: You can ask Pidgin/Purple team. They do have IRC channel. Just a thought. [13:18] mobi-sheep, last time I went in there they were grumpy [13:18] I am reluctant to talk to them [13:19] Polterge|st: They always are grumpy. I have been there before. :\ [13:19] stratovarius: Ah, hmm. Then: Manual configuration, HTTP/SSL/FTP/Gopher proxy EMPTY. [13:19] What's the correct way to setup hibernation with swap being in an encrypted LVM volume? [13:19] grawity, what? i dont understand [13:19] yacc: If you're concerned, you might as well encrypt your entire hard drive like I did. :) [13:19] the first thing I will try is to just wait until I reboot and see if it saves my current config [13:19] if it does not then I will try the debug parameter [13:19] myway what are you trying to do [13:19] mobi-sheep: so I'll have to install WinXP on that virtual box; it's not possible to run Office without an OS? [13:20] Anyone successfuly installed and used fglrx in 9.04? [13:20] is freepascal provided by the package "gpc" in the repos? [13:20] mobi-sheep, it's encrypted, but now I wonder how to make hibernation (ideally without relying on the BIOS/ACPI) work. [13:20] are there any xorg.conf options using the open radeon driver to make Wine more stable? [13:20] jtholmes: i'm trying to have separate partitions: / and /home and swap [13:20] Caesi: That's right. And this will ensure that you'll not face any problems when it comes to native OS versus Wine. [13:20] i'm installing ubuntu right now [13:20] mobi-sheep: perfect, thanks a lot for your help [13:20] grawity, manual configuration in torbutton, proxy configuration in firefox or in vidalia? [13:20] Caesi: I have few applications in Windows that I use occasionally. :) [13:21] i know there is "UseFastTLS" "0" for the fglrx driver. [13:21] mobi-sheep: ok :) how's the speed - ok? [13:21] mobi-sheep, so how can I make it resume from a volume inside an encryped LVM container? [13:21] MyWay, base installation of ubuntu on / is about 2.2GB, although you probably want around 5 GB to accommodate all the programs that you are going to instasll [13:21] Caesi: Seems to be good for me. You'll have choices to size your HDD and video memory (graphic card). [13:21] ok khensthoth, thanks, and how much for the swap? i have 4gb ram [13:21] MyWay, min on / is about 2.5 g but would use at least 10g for growth, /home whatever you want and swap 2g but that is subjective and few people agree on size of swap but i usually use 2g [13:21] yacc: No idea. I don't hibernate at all. I wouldn't know. [13:22] ok [13:22] mobi-sheep, useful if one has to move around. [13:22] hi there, my bash autocompletion isnt working on jaunty, anyone can tell me where to start looking to fix it? [13:22] My Way, If you have more that much RAM it probably doesn't help much to have a lot of SWAP space. Other will disagree though [13:22] mobi-sheep, not even that much the battery, but carrying a running laptop inside a knapsack is thermally instable ;( [13:22] yacc: Did you try? It should shut down... and well, prompt you for password upon power-on? [13:23] mobi-sheep: yeah I saw that.. I'll just have to fiddle around I guess.. thnx! [13:23] Caesi: Good luck! :) [13:23] mobi-sheep, yes, it prompts but never resumes, it just boots plainly after the hibernation. [13:23] should swap be logical and /home primary partition? === Yoda is now known as Guest89417 [13:23] yacc: You could always opt for shutdown. [13:23] myway doesnt matter [13:23] okeydo bye!! [13:23] My Wi-Fi stops working after a while. === maximo_ is now known as Nasra [13:24] I am currently running 8.10 Intrepid, and I started the upgrade to 9.04 and was notified during the upgrade that there was an issue with "fglrx". Can someone shed some light on this topic? I have a Mobility Radeon X1400 video card and fglrx is running fine now........and am concerned about the upgrade and fglrx. [13:24] can anyone help me with jaunty nvidia drivers? [13:24] i have a problem getting the correct display resolution in X [13:24] ok jtholmes [13:24] My Way, Yea. My partitions are all logical ones [13:24] my graphic card is a 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2) [13:24] ah which is the difference between primary and logical then? [13:24] How can I make rhythmbox play music to my usb headset, not the speakers? [13:24] myway you only get 4 primary and one has to be extended if you dont use all in the other primaries [13:24] mobi-sheep, yeah, that's what I'm doing now, but that means probably around 5 minutes for booting and starting up everything needed. :( [13:25] I know how to get skype to use the headset, but not other programs [13:25] yacc: It beat wasting infinite hours of figuring out the workaround. ;) [13:25] myway usually most of the disk space is in the extended partition [13:26] I am currently running 8.10 Intrepid, and I started the upgrade to 9.04 and was notified during the upgrade that there was an issue with "fglrx". Can someone shed some light on this topic? I have a Mobility Radeon X1400 video card and fglrx is running fine now........and am concerned about the upgrade and fglrx. [13:26] mobi-sheep, not exactly, considering that my laptop will probably be used for work for the next 2-3 years as is, ... [13:26] myway then you carve it up [13:26] hi there [13:26] is there any java based gif animation creator for linux ? [13:26] mobi-sheep, figuring out the itches makes somewhat sense, I'd say ;) [13:26] grawity, same error =(..i ve configured like the like u gave me [13:26] skeeter_101: The version of xorg that 9.04 uses is not supported by fglrx, but the open source 'ati' drivers work fine on my x1400 on my Thinkpad [13:26] !fglrx | skeeter_101 [13:26] skeeter_101: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:26] ok thanks you all [13:27] now that i have my /home partition all config files will automatically go to /home? [13:27] mobi-sheep: that page doesn't work for jaunty, at least not for me... [13:27] Pici: is your thinkpad running 9.04? [13:27] and i will not need to backup my /home anymore? [13:27] skeeter_101: Indeed [13:27] Ojii: Sorry. I only try to shed some lights on that topic. [13:27] np mobi-sheep [13:27] Pici: are you saying that I would just have to go through the config of it after the upgrade? [13:28] but anyone really know how to fix the nvidia drivers? [13:28] MyWay, yes (probably) to config files to home, no to backup you always have to backup what you want to preserve no matter what partiton it is on [13:28] ok thanks jtholmes [13:29] myway the only thing /home gives u is the ability to keep you configs between upgrades if you dont touch /home [13:29] Ojii: you did unload the old module before restarting X i assume? [13:29] skeeter_101: You may need to remove xorg-driver-fglrx after the upgrade [13:29] yes i wanted to say this jtholmes :) [13:29] i did what hbekel? I just used the jockey-gtk thingy [13:29] so i don't have each time to save my home [13:29] when i reinstall [13:29] or upgrade [13:30] MyWay, as long as you dont format /home during either process your configs are safe [13:30] good [13:30] thanks again [13:30] i wonder whwere ubuntu is going to. if you remember I couldn't access my microSD card in jaunty. Now i found out it isn't working on 8.10 and 8.04 versions too. BUT! It works on 7.10!!! Why have ubuntu team done that? They drop important features! [13:30] Any idea if there is a way to disable automatic hardware detection in Xorg for 8.10 or 9.04? [13:30] Pici: without 3d acceleration......would compiz still work ok? And if I have to remove xorg-driver-fglrx, wont that disable 3d acceleration? [13:30] The way Ibex detects my touchscreen is driving my nuts, ... [13:30] I will bbiab guys [13:31] skeeter_101: Yes, but then the open source driver would take over. The 'ati' driver provides 3d acceleration as well. [13:31] MyWay, but, but, before doing any of that save all of /home off to an external disk, stick ... in case any config gets altered in some unexpected way [13:31] MyWay, *some* files will need backup if you have modified them, and if you want to keep them the same. If for example you want to automount some Windows or some ntfs partition on boot, the config file is stored in / I believe. So if you want to keep this you will have to back it up. [13:31] I will try to get any updates I can get and reboot before coming back with the pidgin prob [13:31] if I still can't fix it I'll try a few other things [13:31] Ojii: no idea what that is. you need to at least describe the symptoms of your problem [13:31] yes of course [13:31] how do you make a new file? mk filename ? [13:31] ah ok khensthoth, anyway i deleted windows finally, i think i will use it from virtualbox if i will need ;O [13:31] MyWay, /etc/fstab is the one khensthoth is talking about [13:32] hbekel: i can't install the drivers (can't activate them in the Hardware Drivers), on startup i get an error about nvidia [13:32] Pici: thanx for the advice.......believe I will stay with 8.10..........."dont fix it if it aint broken" LOL [13:32] Ojii: "error about nvidia"? you need to tell us the error messages [13:32] Polterge|st left an impressive part message [13:33] Im trying to make my SiS671 video card work in Jaunty. I donwloaded the known-to-work drivers, modified my xorg.conf but now it says "Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//sis671_drv.so" loader failed or something like that. Can anyone help me? [13:33] Hey guys, just got a quick question going to reinstall ubuntu but i want to have split partions, got a 100 [13:33] i want to set video1 as my default webcam, how can i do that ? [13:33] Hey guys, just got a quick question going to reinstall ubuntu but i want to have split partions, got a 120gb how much should i have / and /home - Got 1gb ram, how much should be swap? [13:33] nperry: you can do that while installing [13:34] nperry: swap should be 1.5 gb [13:34] wtv, sorry pressed enter to early for some reason [13:34] there's no 'downgrader' for ubuntu right? [13:34] Ojii: no [13:34] hbekel: it's on startup... so i can't look at it now. it complains about configurations and I then tell it to use the 'default generic configurations' [13:34] gabeodess: touch gabeodess [13:34] thanks mobi-sheep [13:35] nperry: if you're going fully linux, then set all free space as /. home is included in / [13:35] Ojii: sorry, can't help you then [13:35] wtv, why would someone want to do that [13:35] can you have gnome & kde both install in the same ubuntu box [13:35] nperry: by going fully linux, i mean there is no windows or mac partition [13:35] i think an independant /home is a good idea [13:35] hbekel: are errors logged somewhere? [13:36] Ojii: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [13:36] tuxFan: yes [13:36] tikka: that's what i would do i guess [13:36] wtv, I would prefer to have them split, in case i ever want to reinstall for any reason [13:36] Im trying to make my SiS671 video card work in Jaunty. I donwloaded the known-to-work drivers, modified my xorg.conf but now it says "Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//sis671_drv.so" loader failed or something like that. Can anyone help me? [13:36] nperry: ok then split em into two 6 gb partitions [13:37] *60 [13:37] nperry, Ubuntu won't take a big share of your 120 GB, if that's what you asked. If you want Windows give it 20 0r 30 GB, some 40 GB will be more than enough for years of continuous upgrades on "/" and the rest to "/home", if you wish. The swap space is 2x as big as your ram, usually. [13:37] hbekel: /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/m4e1069c6 [13:37] Where does Ubuntu store its dict/spellcheck files for openoffice and firefox? [13:38] Ludo: i think aspell [13:38] i think [13:38] maybe the firefox dictionaries tho [13:38] o where does it store them [13:38] sorry [13:38] two seconds i will search [13:38] I believe openoffices uses hunspell [13:39] Ojii: no errors there, so X should work fine. although your x is configured to use the 'nv' driver (non accelerated open source driver), i guess you want the accelerated drivers from nvidia? [13:39] hello folks, i use Firestarter for my security, and now it's detecting hit, does it safe? and if it doesn't maybe folks here can write what should i do to secure my ubuntu machine. thanks [13:40] helpers how can i know my dvd burner? /dev/??

However i want to run open ssh on the box in a way so that: A) It can be access on LAN, even if vmware crashes (ie. when i need it...) B) I can access it via the internet via the smoothwall vm. How would I go about this? [13:51] Ojii, cd /lib/modules/*; du -a |grep nvid; see what displays for nvidia modules [13:52] My Wi-Fi randomly stops working.

[13:54] i not sure what it is called. [13:54] zamba: is there a new file now in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [13:54] thomasfedb: so you want ssh server on the host, right?

[13:55] thomasfedb: i think it will be difficult without the host "in front of" the firewall. otherwise, when vmware crashes, you lose the path. [13:55] perlsyntax: probably [13:55] hbekel: no output [13:55] odd [13:55] darkvertex: no avail [13:56] darkvertex: unless i have to reboot the entire system to get it working..? [13:56] Ojii: ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko [13:56] then why is it not woriking when it is installed. [13:56] zamba: what driver are you currently using?

I've got php pages on my server but when I try to navigate to them I can only see the source code, not the web page that I'm looking for. Anyone able to help?

[13:57] mick02 you need to apt-get another item, i cant recall off top of my head [13:57] bobstro: Yes, the host is connected via on nic to the modem and via annother to the hub [13:57] Ojii: uname -r ??? [13:57] darkvertex: I've seen that page before, i did everything it says, installed the .deb, reconfigure xorg, but still not working :( [13:57] my pygtk [13:57] darkvertex: when i try opening the display program in X i get a question if i want to use the nvidia one instead.. and the nvidia tool says that it's not activated and that i need to run nvidia-xconfig to activate it [13:57] thomasfedb: you want the smoothwall firewall to protect the ubuntu box, right? [13:57] bobstro: that was the idea, yes [13:57] hbekel: i just copied what u wrote... [13:57] I have 2 nvidia cards (1 internal, 1 externel). I have 2 monitors hooked to each of them. I would like to enable both cards but currently only 1 is active. How would I do that? I am already using the nvidia modules.

[13:58] Ojii: any [13:58] thomasfedb: well... if the firewall dies, you want the ubuntu box to still be protected. that "one nic" is for the firewall external interface, right?

[14:00] !vu neuro [14:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about vu neuro [14:00] hbekel, yeah strange [14:00] mick02: /etc/apache2/mods-available/ [14:00] perlsyntax: i honestly don't know [14:00] thomasfedb: except for ssh... which is the tricky part. you can just leave the ubuntu host nic unaddressed and have the smoothwall vm talk to the internet. but that doesn't help with the ssh-to-ubuntu part. [14:00] i give up [14:00] mick02: in there i have php5.conf and php5.load.. perhaps yours is missing php4 equiv [14:01] alleykat, yes, I have read that. [14:01] Ojii: did you reboot after your latest kernel ugrade? [14:01] the problem is X is not detected multiple cards. How do I have ubuntu detect multiple cards? [14:01] hbekel, is he prefacing his commands with sudo [14:01] bobstro: I have worked out how to sort the ssh. I just need to know how to make one nic fore the exclusive use of vmware. [14:01] hbekel: kernel upgrade? you mean since i updated to 9.04? yea i did, several times [14:01] tikka, I'll check it out, I think maybe I'm missing a MIME type somewhere [14:01] thomasfedb: i used to do a lot of firewall and vmware stuff on my linux box, but took the easy out and put dd-wrt on a linksys router. [14:02] hi all again :) can anyone help me with VPN clients? [14:02] thomasfedb: if you leave the ubuntu host nic unaddresses, it should work. it's a bit funky but it should work. [14:02] bobstro: The nic is connected to the modem [14:02] zamba: maybe you haven't check "Proprietary drivers (restricted)" in Souftware Sources? [14:02] jtholmes: i assumed he would; modinfo, uname, lsmod all work without, though [14:02] sooo wtf. >.> [14:02] bobstro: But will vmware still be able to use it? [14:02] Ojii: sudo modprobe nvidia, please [14:02] hbekel, jtholmes: i prefixed them with sudo when i was told [14:03] i have a small problem: after boot, the gdm stay in black - have cursor - and i need to restart it, for the x start === JayFo is now known as JFo [14:03] hbekel: "FATAL: Module nvidia not found." [14:03] scite is refusing to run in KDE. when i execute the command in a terminal it returns with "segmentation fault", however - i can sudo scite and it works just fine. scite also runs perfectly in GNOME [14:03] is have any solution for this? [14:03] ojii fine [14:03] mick02: did you enable your php (sudo a2enmod ...) ? [14:03] not big problem, just unconfortable [14:03] any ideas why i'm getting this segmentation fault strictly as my user and only in KDE? [14:03] glitsj16, Yeah, I've enabled it and still nothing [14:03] darkvertex: yup, i have [14:03] Ojii: sudo uname -a [14:03] the problem is X is not detected multiple cards. How do I have ubuntu detect multiple cards? Is there a program to do this? [14:03] hbekel: x86 [14:04] hbekel: uname doesn't need sudo [14:04] grawity: i know, but uname -a shouldn't just show x86 [14:04] I have a small problem: after boot, the gdm stay in black - have cursor - and i need to restart it, for the x start. Not big problem, just unconfortable. Any solution? [14:04] grawity: something's relly strange there [14:04] hbekel: well, yeah :/ [14:04] darkvertex: i have exactly the same problem on another computer here.. i have running 12 computers in a lab, 11 of them works just fine with X.. the last one is stuck at 800x600.. [14:04] uhm sry Led_Zeppelin I'm almost in every regard a total n00b myself... can you see both with lspci? [14:05] darkvertex: as far as i can tell identical setup [14:05] How do I setup DHCP in ubuntu server manually? [14:05] darkvertex: no /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:05] hbekel: but i didn't do anything else than installing stuff with synaptic etc, didn't do any of advance stuff that might break everything [14:05] zamba: they all have mx 440 card? [14:05] TarBar: /etc/network/interfaces [14:05] darkvertex: yes, exactly identical graphic adapters [14:05] bbiab [14:05] TarBar, you install the dhcp server package and add a /etc/network/interfaces entry for dhcp [14:05] Printing no longer works for me since the jaunty upgrade. constant "printer not connected" errors. [14:05] dfkl [14:05] darkvertex: so there must be something lurking behind the scenes here [14:05] hbekel: hmm ... unalias uname? unset uname? which uname? (just ideas) [14:06] Heey anybody?:) After boot, the gdm stay in black - have cursor - and i need to restart it, for the x start. Not big problem, just unconfortable. Any solution? [14:06] ah [14:06] How do Install it? [14:06] darkvertex: that makes one computer only run at 800x600 but the next one running happily at full resolution [14:06] Ojii: 'type uname' [14:06] TarBar: sudo apt-get install dhcpd [14:06] hbekel: uname is hashed (/bin/uname) [14:06] MerlinW, I can't connect it to the net. [14:07] What is the preferred way to create a clone for backup and restoration of the hard drive? I googled this but I'm looking for a solution that clones the entire drive including all non-ext3 partitions. Does anyone have a suggestion for this? Will just tar/gzip on / do the trick? How would I restore this? Thank! [14:07] zamba: wow, then that is beyond me. sorry. maybe you shoukd copy everything under /etc/X11 from the other one? [14:07] That's why I'm trying to config dhcp.. [14:07] TarBar: from CD? [14:07] Should I just reinstall? [14:07] darkvertex: is there a way i can compare two directories? [14:07] lol [14:07] amazing: often just dd or tar.gz but /msg ubotu backup for more gui options [14:07] darkvertex: like get a md5sum for a whole directory tree? [14:07] TarBar: enable the cdrom repo in /etc/apt/sources.list [14:07] thomasfedb: it *should*, yes. you can run into odd problems with various ISP devices though. by modem, you mean DSL modem? [14:07] darkvertex: because i'm quite positive they're exactly the same [14:08] hello. i have a problem with the new jaunty kernel: i had disabled the ahci module in intrepid because it produces timeouts on my hw. ahci is now built-in. how can i disable it? [14:08] anybody on my gdm problem?:D [14:08] amazing: er ubottu i mean not ubotu [14:08] MerlinW: Sorry.. How do I do that? [14:08] pepperjack, sorry... i'm a n00b. what do you mean by /msg ubottu backup? just type that into xchat? [14:08] Ojii: something is really strange with your kernel, all i can suggest is to reinstall the kernel package, reboot and check uname -a again. it should yield something like Linux box 2.6.26.8-rt16 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Feb 12 12:22:22 CET 2009 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux [14:09] yep amazin [14:09] zamba: yes, sure use md5. or you could compare it visually through mc perhaps? [14:09] Hi all anyone able to help with a wireless card compatibility issue? [14:09] If I don't have postgres in my /etc how can I reinstall this? I did sudo apt-get install postgres but its not in there. [14:09] hbekel: what do you mean with 'reinstall the kernel package' and if i do that do i loose my data? [14:09] darkvertex: just copied over the whole directory tree.. same problem [14:09] pepperjack, got it. thanks [14:09] Ojii: uname -r should give your kernel version === neur0mancien is now known as neuro_mancien [14:09] how do i configure a network interface to receive a ip via dhcp?

(synaptic?) [14:10] lewench, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL [14:10] thomasfedb: networkmanager should do that automatically...

[14:31] zamba, hm... back in the day i had a LCD panel that was a nightmare to get working right, off brand stuff, ended up going off the Manual Specs to get the frequencies, etc... and hand-cramming an X-config for the monitor [14:31] MerlinW: use kde :P [14:31] Hiya guys dont mean to be a pin but can anyone help me with a porblem with wireless? (new convo if possile) [14:31] the keyboard/mouse locks but i can vnc it fine [14:31] hey is there a way of making an chr [14:31] gordonjcp, never:D [14:31] Ojii: hmm, pastebin lspci too, please. also ls -l /lib/modules/ [14:31] MerlinW: hehehe, bad joke :P [14:31] i have a problem accessing my music player (device, sansa e250) i posted in forum at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7167748#post7167748 [14:31] zamba, you can still do that, and i may be what you have to do, since EDID isn't working [14:31] gartral, Does it show up in dmesg? [14:32] hbekel: lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/160015/ [14:32] does anyone else have the compiz lock using nvidia on jaunty ? [14:32] Is there a way to get rid of HAL? [14:32] happening on 2 machines i've set up [14:32] anderse: i dont think, im really not sure how to tell === meunierr_ is now known as djrom [14:32] HAL breaks my kbd and mouse.. [14:32] hbekel: ls: http://paste.ubuntu.com/160016/ [14:32] hal is good [14:32] D0pamine: no, but i noticed compiz runs slower now [14:33] anderse hah! you have to go into the sub-basement and float through space and take out the cards! [14:33] gartral, open a terminal and run "dmesg" [14:33] sorry, is there a way of making an image of my current setup? I want to make an ISO of my install... and then use it on VMWare and install Windows. [14:33] dont get rid - fix [14:33] rdw200169, If it was only that simple... [14:33] anderse: HAL is GOOD, but it can cause some problems if it doesnt detect your proper conf. however, i'm at a loss on how to fix it... i seem to recall that it has some form of xml based conf files somewhere... [14:33] okey i'll go on the forums gartral maybe post a bug [14:33] btw jaunty is sweet [14:33] but i'm still using gentoo ;) [14:33] My work env is a MacBookPro... (die! die! die!) [14:34] gorgonzola: /etc/hal/fdi/policy [14:34] To those who use HTOP, how do you generally quit (using F10) without displaying the menu? [14:34] anderse: what am i looking for? [14:34] mobi-sheep, q [14:34] mobi-sheep, i ctl+C [14:34] anderse: /etc/hal/fdi/policy according to doleyb [14:34] Ojii: hbekel could the segfault at the end mean something? also, "1.078930] pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 6: can't allocate mem resource [0xe0000000-0xdfffffff]" seems to refer to gfcard, is it relevant? [14:34] because i'm a brute [14:34] rdw200169: i solved it by changing the dvi-to-vga-adapter :) [14:34] gartral, the model name, make, something lite that [14:34] gorgonzola, Yeah, I saw [14:34] ranf: Thanks. That one always made me wonder. [14:34] my microsoFT crony company is trying to force me to change my laptop back to Windows...The IT guys says that there is no way to do whole disk encryption on Ubuntu or linux in general. I found a way to do whole disk encryption, but is there a way to do this after the install is complete. I would hate to have to reinstall everything. Thanks in advance [14:34] Ojii, show us ur /boot/grub/menu.lst file content too [14:35] It's just that my F11 and F12 keys make *MOUSE* events. Wow! === ]L[iNu]X[ is now known as Mablo === Mablo is now known as Mablor [14:35] bin1010, use virtualbox [14:35] is there a way of making an image (ISO preferably) of my current setup? I want to make an ISO of my install... and then use it on VMWare and install Windows. [14:35] if thats not good enough bin1010 go on strike [14:35] I have virtualbox...not following [14:35] anderse: ok, found it, lots of stuff here, shal i pastebinit? [14:35] is there a utility for ubuntu to monitor RAID? or hardware raid? [14:35] !raid [14:35] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [14:35] gartral, Yeah, sure [14:35] afallenhope|work, i find the quickest way to do that is just by cloning the working /etc/ directory into new installations. this is, by far, the easiest way. getting the additional packages is a matter of, either, rebuilding the cd, or creating a add-on respository cd with virtual package of everything you want installed post-installation [14:36] MerlinW, hbekel, ienorand: http://paste.ubuntu.com/160018/ [14:36] onats_: every raid type will be different but it is almost always possible [14:36] rdw200169, I'm trying to get rid of Linux completely. just running it in VMWare [14:36] afallenhope|work, you have to be careful, though, of course, to only copy the /etc/ directories that are actually relevant to the install. i.e. stuff that actually gets changed post installation, but does not include those system specific files, like hostname etc... [14:36] Ojii, its seems good... [14:37] zamba, hmm interesting... maybe thats why my card cant detect 2nd screen [14:37] markl, I enabled the hardware raid of my MOBO, but it does not seem to be replicating to the other disk.. how should i be able to check that it did? [14:37] on ubuntu that is [14:37] ienorand, not sure about the mem alloc... the segfault was from glxinfo, probably because he's running nv atm [14:37] afallenhope|work, ah, i see what you're talking about now. hm... i suppose you could make a live cd that conforms to a particular configuration [14:37] afallenhope|work, but, you can't put a VM hdd image on a cd and make that work [14:37] markl: you sure it's hardware raid? sounds like a softraid (aka fakeraid) [14:37] anderse: http://gar.pastebin.com/d397cc4d5 [14:38] oops meant that to onats_ === onats_ is now known as onats [14:38] I can't believe that ubuntu changed the whole kernel architecture in this release, and now i0m forced to use a buggy driver. Could anyone here please explain how can i disable a built.in module!? please? [14:38] afallenhope|work, you could, though, pull it off with a thumb drive or something like that. accept, though, that performing your solution that way would result in a slower operating system (thumbdrives don't generally perform up to USB 2.0 speeds due to cheap hardware) [14:38] ziggo, well I turned the RAID option on my motherboard on. [14:38] ziggo, isn't that hardware raid? [14:38] ziggo: heh [14:38] Ojii: ls /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko ? [14:38] gartral, and it doesn't answer to the name /dev/sdc1 ? [14:39] onats: there is no such thing as hardware raid on a motherboard [14:39] hey .... launchpad is back up!!! woohoo! [14:39] onats: no [14:39] afk [14:39] onats: not necesarilly, it depends on the controller. [14:39] gorgonzola, modprobe.d/blacklist, rmmod [14:39] hbekel: 'ls: cannot access /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko: No such file or directory' [14:39] how do i get a transparent look on ubuntu? [14:39] onats: i highly doubt it's hardware raid, it's more expensive than what you find onboardd [14:39] the "built in" raids still put all the raid code in the driver [14:39] !ddr3 [14:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about ddr3 [14:39] rdw200169, again, as I mentioned, I want an ISO image so just run the ISO image. via vmware [14:39] really?? wow, i bought this mobo for that.. [14:39] !compiz | grytn [14:39] grytn: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz-fusion [14:39] wasted money then [14:39] onats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [14:39] thx:) [14:39] MerlinW that's the issue: this module is no longer a module... it is built in. it is already in blacklist, but the kernel loads it anyuway... [14:40] ziggo, ok looking [14:40] hm [14:40] Ojii: we're getting closer... [14:40] onats: yeah unfortunately it is, i would suggest a used 3ware card on ebay (i've bought 3 that way and they all rock) [14:40] anderse: it says the device does not exist [14:40] we are hbekel? [14:40] onats: yeah a good raid card is like $300+ ish [14:40] gorgonzola: if it's builtin you can't blacklist it [14:40] onats: my raid card emails me if a drive goes out [14:40] lol. the marketing got me! [14:40] anything good is usually expensive.. [14:40] (well we better are cos I'm out of battery in 20min) [14:40] heheh [14:40] afallenhope|work, thus, i mentioned that you could create a situation specific live cd. i'm not the one to talk to about doing that though, i've never done it don't intend to ;) [14:40] markl, how did you set it up?[ [14:40] gorgonzola: are you using a non-standard kernel? [14:40] Boohbah: so there's no way of telling the kernel not to use that built'in module? i'll have to recompile my kernel!? [14:41] onats: i'm in teh same boat myself, i have a raid 5 i can't use in ubuntu :p gotta keep using windows on that box. [14:41] ziggo, im reading the fakeraid document... this might work.. [14:41] ziggo: just be careful. what raid version you using? 0? 1? [14:41] or something like 5 [14:42] Boohbah: i'm using 2.6.28 vanilla from the jaunty upgrade. ahci was previously loaded as module, and caused problem with my laptop. now is builtin, and i'm trying to get the kernel to not use ahci and load all libata drives with ata_piix. [14:42] Hiya all. anyone able to help me? I have an issue with me wireless card on my Desktop (currently using) it wont see any of the wireless networks that i know are active within my house. Any help would be great i am a completely new user. [14:42] hello? [14:43] hi [14:43] HI THERE === christian is now known as Guest89837 [14:43] hi guys i have a question not strictely connected to ubuntu but i think you could be able to help me....i have a big program composed by a lot of file .c and .h , i would like to debug it but i dont know wich is the "main" or principal file....what can i do???? [14:43] alleykat: check your Xorg.0.log [14:43] can i save my settings in "PulseAudio Device Chooser" after login? it returns to defaults [14:43] alleykat: especially those I2C lines [14:43] suck it [14:43] alleykat: that's where the probing for the monitors happens [14:43] tsepesh cat * | grep main? [14:44] please [14:44] anderse: it says the device does not exist... [14:44] I have an nvidia card. X boots fine with the nvidia driver, but both monitors are blank. No errors in the Xorg.0.log, nothing in dmesg, everything's fine. The bootup sound plays. But no output. Can anyone suggest what I do next to debug it? Vesa driver is awful on this card [14:44] tsepesh: fgrep -r 'int main' * [14:44] i did, just confusing - one driver detects screen 1, another none of them [14:44] Guest89837: This is a support channel, please stop. [14:44] gorgonzola: cat abuser [14:44] One of my friends brought a laptop earlier today, on which he installed 9.04 NetBook Remix, but he has no interface starting up, just the gdm background, and I can create a folder and open it with nautilu, but I get no window decorations. Any ideas? [14:44] hbekel: brb, getting my powersupply :D [14:44] SPiEkY [14:44] i have no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/.. so whenever i launch X everything is automatically probed.. how can i write the probed information back to the xorg.conf file? [14:44] the program is kvm-qemu and i dont think it has a main.... [14:44] how is it differnt installing applications for windows vs ubuntu? [14:44] hi! i just upgraded a hardy box to jaunty kubuntu, and my monitor now goes black with purple jags on the bottom third (and alt-ctrl-f1 no longer works) somewhere during the startup process. any ideas? [14:45] both are 100% same types, but the dvi adapters... [14:45] ?? [14:45] !repo | Guest89837 [14:45] Guest89837: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[14:45] quick xubuntu network question anyone? [14:45] Boohbah: if I load 2.27.14, the kernel complies with blacklist and loads libata with ata_piix. i want to do the same with 2.6.28. any idea? [14:46] hoobler, ati? [14:46] 2.6.27-14 * [14:46] could be... apart from slow 60hz update on #2, not a problem anymore [14:46] nibbler: This is Ubuntu support, he is asking about installing software in Ubuntu [14:46] gartral, What /can/ you see when you plug it in, then? [14:46] MerlinW: not sure, sorry -- how would i check? [14:46] pe@ce [14:46] guest89837: and this is whats different in ubuntu [14:46] (also i'm installing gnome now to see if it makes a difference, so i'll have to wait till that monster is done before checking :) ) [14:46] gorgonzola: i'm not sure about the differences between ubuntu kernels, but if the old one works, why not use it? [14:46] penis [14:46] took some awful digging in xorg.conf, logs and hal thingy thou :) [14:46] can i save my settings in "PulseAudio Device Chooser"? when i restart and login it returns to defaults [14:46] ok will just fire away === mrlol is now known as mrlolplx [14:47] randr12 is not my friend [14:47] anderse: nothing, the desktop just sits there... th DAP shows the link is active, but it nothing is dont, i cant force it to mount, and as fao as everything BUT dmesg is concerned, the sansa simply does not exist...

I have searched google, and the UNR FAQ and details for the Aspire One, and I can't find anything relating to this. Any ideas? [14:48] Boohbah: well, i could use it. but 2.6.28 is notoriously faster, except for this showstopping erratic bug with ahci. and i'm trying to retain faith in ubuntu, by looking for a conf option that would allow me to use my hardware without requiring a kernel recompile. i think this is a big issue, even if it affects a few users.... [14:48] gartral, It could simply be that it has a file system that's not understood.. [14:48] how do i change the color in my bash term ? [14:48] sorry but this place is too busy for me to keep up with back to google [14:48] anyone can help me set up RAID!?

[14:48] dang -- while installing gnome to try to diagnose kubuntu trouble, it's now hanging at "registering documents with scrollkeeper" -- which i dimly remember being a source of frustration years ago... ideas? [14:48] Hello Everybody [14:48] Sound is broken, believe it has something to do with apt upgrade. [14:49] MerlinW, no no, I know how to restart GDM. That doesn't solve it. It just boots again like that, no output [14:49] I have succesfully added samba share to ubuntu [14:49] until I switch to vesa, of course :) [14:49] hoobler, laptop? :D [14:49] hoobler, start in kernel recovery mode, and: lspci | grep VGA [14:49] gartral, what does 'mount' say? is it listed there?

[14:49] Question: I want to safely copy my entire /home directory with all hidden files included to an external hard drive, BUT I do not want to keep all the special permissions applied to some directories, meaning some folders that have only root permissions should have full permissions in the target directory? sudo cp /home/wiehan /media/external/backaps -??? [14:49] merlinw: no, desktop. i'll try lspci | grep VGA shortly === Fuli is now known as Guest72912 [14:50] mobi-sheep: he installed with a file I think was good and verified [14:50] I downloaded it [14:50] jadams, u have Ati card too? [14:50] btw after installing gnome and resuming boot, i still get a hung computer with blank screen -- no purple jags this time FWIW :) [14:50] I can connect to server via gnome terminal [14:50] neohaven: Downloading it... don't necessarily mean it was good. Sometimes I have to download it again because it was corrupted. [14:50] !md5sum | NeoBlaster [14:50] NeoBlaster: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [14:50] !md5sum | neohaven [14:50] neohaven: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [14:50] Sorry NeoBlaster :) [14:50] MerlinW, I had an ATI card before, yes [14:50] np [14:50] :p [14:51] mobi-sheep: yeah, I know how to use md5 :3 [14:51] MerlinW, I removed it and put in the nvidia, and this was going down when I booted up [14:51] jadams, but now... [14:51] ah === Guest72912 is now known as Fuli [14:51] ok [14:51] anyone here have trouble with text becomming washed out looked or smeared should I say?

[14:52] Boohbah: no exclamation mark [14:52] joaopinto: the target fs is ntfs :-( [14:52] bug 352197 [14:52] hoobler, try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [14:52] anderse: [14:52] Sound broken by latest apt-get upgrade, anyone else got this? [14:52] NicolasM14: Okay. Good luck though. >_> [14:52] why does ctrl-alt-backspace no longer work in Jaunty? [14:52] anderse: nope [14:52] wiehan, cp -R --no-preserve=mode I believe [14:52] !dontzap | zetheroo [14:52] zetheroo: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable » [14:52] anderse: like i said, intrepid recognised it just fine [14:52] wiehan, so, to keep unix permissions, you will need to use some archiving tool, like tar [14:52] Boohbah: I think that's supposed to work... [14:53] merlinw: it has created a new xorg.conf -- now i'll resume boot [14:53] gartral, ok, well... gparted? [14:53] (but my old xorg.conf is standard, and i've tried auto-fix several times which makes a new xorg.conf) [14:53] here we go [14:53] mobi-sheep: so its not even built in anymore ... huh [14:53] zetheroo, take off, dunno why: u can enable it again: apt-get install dontzap && dontzap -d [14:53] joaopinto: please look at what ks3 said: cp -R --no-preserve=mode I believe [14:53] anderse: i dont seem to have gparted on my machine, one moment [14:54] zetheroo: Yup. They're trying to discontinue this. And many Windows users have the tendency of restarting X accidentally. (Task Manager0. [14:54] hoobler, thats good, right? :) [14:54] merlinw: hang with purple jags on bottom section of screen again. no luck. [14:54] Nautilus is not connecting to SSH [14:54] hm [14:54] wiehan, there is no command that will allow you to keep unix privileges on an ntfs filesystem... [14:54] merlinw: ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't respond. [14:54] mobi-sheep: ha ... damn it ... we Linux users are changing to suit the Windowz domain [14:54] raddy, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba ? [14:55] joaopinto: then you didn't read my question correctly: I DO NOT WANT TO KEEP PRIVILEGES [14:55] wiehan, ok, so just do a regular cp -a [14:55] gorgonzola: ok i read your bug report, looks like a valid bug and ubuntu devs are working on it. [14:55] alleykat: Sorry, it is not connecting to SSH [14:55] ok, try this: put this to in xorg.conf device section: Option "DRI" "Off" [14:55] zetheroo: If you know what to do then this shouldn't bother you at all. It's two way streets, I guess. :) [14:55] wiehan, sudo cp -a source destination [14:55] hoobler, after reboot [14:55] merlinw: ok [14:56] hbekel: just tried 'apt-get remove/apt-get install' and 'apt-get remove/apt-get clean/apt-get install' of 'nvidia-glx-180' but the 'sudo modprobe nvidia' still says that the module isn't found [14:56] joaopinto: what is the difference between sudo cp -a and sudo cp -R --no-preserve=mode [14:56] Boohbah: yeah, i'll report this new issue that disabled my workaround. but i think its an upstream bug, and it is very erratic, i haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem... do you know where can i find documentation on how to deal with bnuilt-in modules? [14:56] anderse: this 9.04 im in, btw [14:56] raddy, true thats https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto :) [14:56] Ojji: you DO have linux-headers-2.6.28-11-generic installed, right? [14:56] wiehan, man cp [14:57] wiehan, read the cp man page with: man cp [14:57] Ojii, apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-kernel-common [14:57] zetheroo: Well, it was related to other things as well, compiz cube flips maybe... alt-bckspc--erasing, it's a bit to natural a keycombo to kill X, in many peoples opinion. [14:57] why is ubuntu so particular ? [14:57] merlinw: slightly different hang this time :) different colors at the bottom of the screen, otherwise still hung. btw: during boot it's trying to do the final stage of jaunty install, inserting into the boot process the installation of three packages -- i don't know if that's relevant. [14:57] also i can't quite see the very last thing on the F1 console before the screen hangs, but it *might* be "atieventsd" starting up. [14:57] ienorand: it was good for me ... :) [14:57] Ojii, after: apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-glx-180 === root_ is now known as bredoto [14:57] hbekel: yes got that on newest version according to apt-get [14:57] anderse: no, the drives are NOT seen by gparted [14:58] MerlinW: trying that now [14:58] gartral, ok, well, I guess that makes it hard to mount them, then. [14:58] wiehan, -a attempts to keep ownerships and permissions the same, -R is just a recursive copy, and --no-preserve=mode explicitly tells it not to keep permissions [14:58] MerlinW: done and modprobe still gives 'FATAL: Module nvidia not found.' [14:59] hoobler, if u can do that, in gdm choose the gnome safe mod [14:59] gartral, (Sorry, I don't have any good answer) [14:59] Ojii: try via sys->admin->hardware drivers again [14:59] if u will have picture, than we are close [14:59] merlinw: are you saying i should type "gdm" at the recovery console and start gnome display manager? i'm not sure how to get into gnome safe mode. [14:59] anderse: i THINK its because of a bad partition.... but i have no way of scanning it too tell! [15:00] hoobler, u also tried the nvidia offical installer too? [15:00] hbekel: hadware-drivers flashes a little window when i click activate and then goes back to the main thing [15:00] hbekel: and the driver still isn't activated ofc [15:00] couse its make a kernel module itself [15:00] Hm. If fdisk doesn't get it, I don't know. [15:00] merlinw: no, not aware of what that is (nvidia installer) -- i did a normal upgrade to jaunty via update-manager and this is as far as i've gotten. [15:00] hello, i need help, nvidia does not install after I upgraded to jaunty [15:00] zetheroo: Yea, I reactivated it first thing after install, of course, but I can still see how the decision makes sense... And if alt+sysrq+K would work consistently as replacement... [15:01] i understandm but u can try [15:01] anderse: sudo [15:01] at least u will have kernel module [15:01] ienorand: hmm ... yeah a replacement would be nice [15:01] usr13, what? [15:01] if we lucky [15:01] merlinw: if you're talking to me, i'm not sure what you're asking me to do. [15:01] anderse: sudo fdisk -l [15:01] Ojii: you DID follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia before asking here? [15:01] is there an nvidia installer i can access via recovery console? [15:02] MerlinW, so any hints where to debug, given that nvidia installs and seems to work fine (in that X boots) but I have no display? I can't look in the logs for help...is it possible that it thinks it's outputting to another display for me? [15:02] usr13, why are you telling me? [15:02] hoobler i think he wants you to download official nvidia installer from nvidia [15:02] Hello! [15:02] desperatenoob: thank you. i'll try it. [15:02] I have a question... [15:02] zetheroo: Well... alt+sysreq+K works, but it's not completely similar, and I feel like CAB has been more solid... [15:02] anderse: this is impossible.. its not even seen by fdisk... [15:02] anderse: Never mind. Probably not relevant [15:02] hoobler - we have the same problem i think [15:03] hbekel: there's no jaunty guide on that page [15:03] alt+sysreq+K works? ienorand [15:03] Ok, so, basically, nobody here can help me with my screwed up X input? [15:03] Ojii we have the same problem too [15:03] desperatenoob: upgraded to jaunty via update-manager and now box hangs on black screen, ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't work? [15:03] I am trying to install a dual boot machine with windows xp and ubuntu 9.04; but I don't get the option of installing side by side. Somebody knows why? [15:03] anderse: What is your problem? [15:03] !dontzap | zetheroo [15:03] zetheroo: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [15:04] hoobler, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_180.51.html [15:04] merlinw: thanks [15:04] LjL: so you still have to install a package ... no probs [15:04] I have a MacBook and HAL thinks my USB kbd+mouse should be like the builtin ones. [15:04] zetheroo: no [15:04] hoobler - mine just shows that ubuntu has to run in safe graphics mode and i cant install from System > Hardware Drivers [15:04] zetheroo: you have to install a package if you want to use ctrl+alt+backspace. you *don't* need to install anything to use alt+sysrq+k [15:04] hbekel: just read the 8.10 stuff on that page and did that all [15:04] can i save my settings in "PulseAudio Device Chooser"? when i restart and login it returns to defaults [15:04] And the semantics are all totally borked: F11 and F12 are mousebuttons, now... (?!) [15:04] zetheroo: Yea, it's the magic sysreq you know :) [15:04] I installed 9.04, network manager in systray is missing? Shouldn't it start with startup? If not what to do? [15:05] how do i enable h264 encoding via ffmpeg? [15:05] jjjren_irc, from desktop cd? [15:05] LjL: well that other combination is not working for me [15:05] Also, mouse-over focus is borken, too. [15:05] jadams, just in the /var/log/xorg.log, gdm/gdm.log, messages.log [15:05] no... [15:05] sorry yes... [15:05] what software do i have to install to enable h264 encoding via ffmpeg [15:05] ienorand: yeah I see that key [15:05] from desktop cd.. [15:05] addeboy: Can you elaborate a little more? [15:05] zetheroo: it's not? does alt+sysrq+h show anything while you're in a virtual terminal (not in X)? [15:05] merlinw: fyi before installing nvidia installer, i just tried running "gdm" from terminal, and got same result as usual: black hanging screen with junk. [15:06] if you start the one in windows, choose option 1, boot up from cd and install that way [15:06] works here [15:06] LjL: virtual terminal? [15:06] MerlinW, there are no errors. X starts fine (I hear the boot sound, etc). It's just not outputting to my monitors. Xorg.0.log says nvidia loaded successfully, etc. [15:06] zetheroo: a console. alt+f2 [15:06] zetheroo: ctrl+alt+f2, that is (ctrl+alt+f7 to go back) [15:06] u just upgraded too early, guys :) if u are not expert, u need to wait a couple weeks, until fixing the new release's bugs :) [15:07] !u [15:07] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet.

[15:08] hmm [15:08] ngong: Just add it using "Add to Panel" [15:09] zetheroo: unsure then. alt+sysrq+k works here (but i'm on Hardy), and i've seen several reports from Jaunty users that it works there... [15:09] I'm trying to debug an annoying driver (digium zaptels) and I'm hitting a bit of a wall... how can one go about determining the subvendor/subdevice IDs for a PCI card? [15:09] so im dead in the water with this... [15:09] On hardy [15:09] LjL: hmm [15:09] is it a game channel for ubuntu? [15:09] hbekel: how can i fix that? apt-get remove/install uname?

I'm writing a bash script and I need to copy some text from one file to another, but there's a catch, the part I need to copy are all the lines in between two words, lets say "$start" and "$end".

Some other technical,, Where can apply for [15:12] alleykat: Yes, I think so, but I'm not sure what regular expressions are.

[15:13] ngong, if you have the interfaces configured on /etc/network/interfaces, network manager will not show the applet [15:13] google.pl [15:13] Boohbah: no compiz [15:13] nemo: Lintian dissects Debian packages and tries to find bugs and policy violations. === Darth_Devi is now known as Lord_Devi [15:13] the forum thread too my issue is at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7168062#post7168062 [15:13] compiz lockup wtv ?

[15:14] wtv: trackerd [15:14] ngong, you need to remove your real interfaces (except for lo) from the interfaces file, so that they can be managed by network manager [15:14] alleycat: Neat! Thank you [15:14] scunizi: i have google desktop. it indexes stuff. could it be because of that? [15:14] mvironwork, choppy/no pic on 2nd screen? [15:14] wtv: sure.. maybe also a page in FF that's constanatly loading [15:14] wtv: google desktop will likely slow things down, but it shouldn't be the xorg process [15:15] Boohbah: then what is the Xorg process? [15:15] wtv: err, the 'X' process [15:15] usr13? I would like to have their own IRC chat room [15:15] Boohbah: any idea why it might not be signed correctly? [15:15] alleykat: if I set it to not mirror (and turn the 2nd display on at the correct res -- in this case 1440 x 900), it still mirrors the first display on the 2nd [15:15] I decided to try to resize my /home, from a LiveCD, but now gparted says "unrecognized" and I can't mount it. I think the drive died on me, I have a spare, but I can't mount it since it says "sdb5 not found" sdb5 is my /home. Anyway I can tell it to mount it as ext3 anyways?

[15:16] nemo: maybe you don't have the key for its repository [15:16] ubuntu, do a sudo fdisk -l (to see what is the partition name) [15:16] wtv use top or htop to figure out what's eating the cpu [15:16] fsck says to try another superblock, and I tried e2fsck -b 8193 like it says, but still nothing [15:16] sorry to bother you, but is anybody here experienced with partitioning for ubuntu? my knowledge ends with fdisk and fat32 (which was easy), so I don´t realy know the do's and don'ts [15:16] www_Kernel_sh /join #chat-room-name [15:16] wtv: turn off google desktop and see if it has any effect [15:16] mvironwork, just spend 2½ days trying to set my desktop dual display up, still no idea what each line in xorg.conf means... but...

I have a samsung nc10 notebook running 9.04 fine but i want to know if someone has faced problems because I dont wanna fuck my girlfriend's computer. She justed switched to Linux and this works fine up to now !!

Thank you in advance for your help [15:29] I read, that the NetworkManager-Icon does not apear, if wifi driver is not loaded. It was prior to 9.04. How to verify that? [15:30] joaopinto, You know of a more or less reliable way I can at least get one last read out of it? Running testdisk now, not sure how long it should take, I selected the drive, and did proceed, not sure when the "fixing" comes into play.

I mean it's gone either way, so what's the difference? [15:32] understand [15:32] ? [15:32] Ojii: try asking on the forums why uname -a might fail, and give as much system info as possible. But i'm rather certain that the driver install fails because of the uname -r returning bogus [15:32] anyone on here know why uname -a might fail? [15:32] Ojii: a lot of programs/installers rely on uname -r to find out the kernel release, so that's pretty essential [15:33] Ojii: fail like what?

I can no longer boot after 8.04-8.10 upgrade. Can I just copy the kernel from the 9.04 iso and boot to that to complete the upgrade?

[15:43] haha thanks Helpme [15:43] ok the problem seems not to be the music palyer, i cant load any files in a player somehow. any idea what the problem could be? [15:44] kromar: you may have to enable non-free sources and install the codecs [15:44] hello... i am having serious issues wuith mounting an appearently damnaged fat32 filesystem.... full(er) info at http://ubuntuforums.org/private.php?folderid=0 [15:44] assuming you have licence for them of course [15:44] joaopinto, i cant see any problems in Ojii's coreutil output [15:44] kromar: did you install the codex? [15:44] dbarnett, you will need to use a live cd, mount your partition, chroot to it, and then continue the upgrade from there, using do-release-upgrade [15:45] joaopinto: do I need to burn an 8.10? [15:45] recon691: i updated to 9.04, other than that i havent changed anything [15:45] Running 9.04, tried to upgrade Amarok 2.02 to the latest build and it failed. uninstalled/reinstalled and now it will not load ANYTHING into the library but plays files just fine. any thoughts??? [15:45] MerlinW, neither do I, but I can see that his uname's binary does not match the expected version [15:45] joaopinto: I think the 8.10 completed, but is it really 'complete' if it never booted [15:45] recon691: just loaded it into vlc and it seems to play but i cant hear anything [15:46] ! [15:46] joaopinto, oh i see [15:46] kromar: check your volume control ? [15:46] I use graphic programs..will they work with ubuntu ? [15:47] xconvergex: can you be more specific? [15:47] Yes you can, with wine! [15:47] * zaggynl runs [15:47] paint is said to... [15:47] hey guys how do i find out which version of Ubuntu i'm running? [15:47] I use 3ds max , photoshop illustrator. [15:47] i have big problems with apt-get, package download hangs, i hit ctrl+c, try reinstall, but half-downloaded package seems to be ignored! [15:47] !version | backgen [15:47] backgen: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [15:47] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek starts in 13 minutes in #ubuntu-classroom [15:48] joaopinto: restarted NetworkManager, no Icon [15:48] so my half-downloaded package will be broken? [15:48] brb [15:48] xconvergex, blender, inkscape is the linux version of those two [15:48] i find this quite dangerous [15:48] thanks! [15:48] joaopinto: how to check whether the wifi drivers are still there? [15:48] eseven73 are they same ? [15:49] photoshop 2 and 3 work in wine I believe [15:49] RLa: note the package and do a complete remove and reinstall, probably fix it [15:49] hey guys, if i'm gonna upgrade via network...is there a chance that i'll lose the files on my computer? Should i do a backup? [15:49] aaaaaaaah photoshop 2 [15:49] xconvergex, blender, gimp [15:49] xconvergex, same? no but they're the linux equivalent of 3dmax and illustrator [15:49] recon691, complete remove - where does apt-get download packages into, i saw nothing under /tmp? [15:49] MerlinW, I don't think gimp does vector does it? [15:49] backgen, if your data is important, yes, backup, even if you are not expected to lose data [15:49] hi all [15:50] right, photoshop cs2 working with wine very well [15:50] install the nvidia-180-modaliases package as well in Synaptic if you want it to be available in 'Hardware Drivers' (Answers my question) [15:50] backgen: chances of losing data files are extremely low (though everything is possible). it is possible that the upgrade goes bad and you're unable to boot without resorting to live CD or other manual stuff, though [15:50] backgen: if you have to ask that question you should probably do a backup :) [15:50] eseven73: I don't think Gimp do vector. Inkscape does. (?) [15:50] eseven73, for vector graphics you use inkscape [15:50] ok thanks! [15:50] MerlinW, afaik no, but if you're just doing vector art, inkscape will do vector graphics...not as powerful as illustrator but it does nice standard svg [15:50] heres something interesting: i tried aptitude reinstall gnome-settings-daemon which had the glib critical error, and it said "wasnt able to locate file for gnome-settings-daemon" [15:50] yes I was the one that suggested inkscape ,,,before anyone else [15:50] RLa: well, the deb's are stored in var somewhere, but try using the packet manager first [15:50] RLa: /var/cache/apt/archives holds those [15:50] Ojii: reinstalled coreutils? [15:51] regeya, for vector graphs: http://www.linux.com/feature/148630 [15:51] hello, hola [15:51] RLa, but using synaptic, apt-get or aptitude is preferable [15:51] !backup [15:51] gimp dont can vectors, my bad [15:51] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [15:51] MerlinW, thanks, but I wasn't asking :-> [15:51] Hi every1 [15:51] a dummy question: ubuntu 8.10 i can't mount a rw partition for my users. My fstab: /dev/sda4 /home/marcodc/myfolder ext3 users,defaults 0 0 [15:52] what's the matter? [15:52] !sbackup [15:52] sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe [15:52] so any idea why i cant load my music file into gmusicbrowser? [15:52] u cant change the illustrator at the moment...

[16:03] So I don't have that/default gui stuff other than open office, terminal, etc [16:04] Jimmymaniac: why not just delete them as root? [16:04] SealedWithAKiss, probably because your documentroot is set to a path where the www-data uses does not have read+execute permissions [16:04] Hey guys im having a problem with a netbook running gOS [16:04] Surely us.archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com should work though? [16:04] !mtp > gartral [16:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about mtp [16:04] n8tuser, http://pastebin.com/m4b6b8ab7 here it is :) [16:04] joaopinto, my document root is set to the default /var/www. [16:04] SixThreeOh: that is far from the only reason why updates can fail [16:05] adelie42: I wanna be able to do that quick and easy without a terminal, for my friend's benefit. I have zero problems with the prompt (writing this on irssi :D ), but next time he finds something like that, he will be a little bit lost. [16:05] SixThreeOh: usually if you are in the middle of updates and cancel, you can't just run it again to make it work [16:05] joaopinto, would it have anything to do with me using flash? I have a number of .swf files in the webroot. [16:05] Jimmymaniac: alt-f2, gksudo nautilus [16:05] SealedWithAKiss, make sure your index file is rx for everyone or for www-data [16:06] Hey i need help with a netbook [16:06] JK3mp: cool! [16:06] SealedWithAKiss, 403 is usually for unable to check directory, or index file on the directory [16:06] Jimmymaniac: better?

[16:07] eseven73, tesseracter, joaopinto, she doesn't have much computer skills, I only had instructed her to confirm the usual package updates. I don't think she knows how to change software sources. but who knows, maybe she accidentally enabled non-lts upgrade, if that was possible to do with a single click [16:07] SealedWithAKiss, the log tells it all ;) [16:07] recon691: i even searched it with catfish [16:07] JK3mp: boot your system in rescue mode [16:07] adelie42: better, yes, but not optimal, still looking...

Failed to fetch http://ae.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid-updates/main/source/Sources.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch [16:08] kromar: you could try reinstall it from synaptic [16:08] So I'm screwed then? [16:08] kaie, and it's all gui to do those 2 steps ;) [16:08] recon691: i already did that but the settings wont reset when i do that [16:08] Ojii: i can't give you any specific advise. you should really try to find out why your uname binary was changed or why it wasn't the version that should have been there according to your pkg manager [16:08] SixThreeOh: No, you're not screwed. Just update. [16:08] hi all [16:09] Jimmymaniac: of course, you can right click on the folder and then 'open with...' and 'gksudo nautilus'. root isn't meant to be too easy, considering the power to override ANYTHING [16:09] !update | SixThreeOh [16:09] SixThreeOh: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [16:09] hbekel: I might have changed it ages ago for some reason [16:09] gharz, its a repo problem, not urs. choose an another mirror [16:09] How can I do that when the package lists have also been removed? [16:09] is there any place I can find out the list of all the processes that have been run during the system uptime [16:09] bogdan_-> what happens when you ping 10.64.64.64 ?

[16:09] unitedroad: I don't think so. [16:09] It's a VERY VERY special distro [16:09] np [16:09] Every single time I install Ubuntu on a flash drive (installing on it like installing on a HD, not live-usb) the filesystem of the USB stick gets corrupted after some boots. WIth normal fsck it says the FS is clean but once you force fsck it finds a lot of errors. System files get corrupted etc so I always have to reinstall. Is this known ? Is there a fix for htis bug ? [16:09] unitedroad-> if i understood you, ps -aux [16:09] How do I get ls to show files with their full path? [16:10] eseven73, ok thanks [16:10] (For ls -R) [16:10] adelie42: Google found something, i as usual overlooked the obvious: On the folder properties dialog box, on permissions, there's an "apply permissions to contents" button, doh! :) [16:10] how can i run 3 command in this order command1 -> command 2 -> command3 and redirect all the error in a file without a script??? [16:10] n8tuser, no response :( [16:10] thanks :) [16:10] hi, is there a cool phone book app for ubuntu ?

[16:10] MerlinW, httpd.conf is empty. What do I need to do? [16:10] nn8user, I mean not just the ones that are currently running, but all that have ever been run since the system's been on [16:10] recon691:bit buggy i would guess [16:11] n8tuser, how do i do that ?

When I do, I can't drag a window all the way across the second monitor...it seems to hang and get stuck about 10% of the way across. Should I still use NVIDIA's drivers on Jaunty, or should the default ones work? [16:11] gartral: how? dist-upgrade is out of the picture here. [16:11] elad: No idea since you know you're looking in . I usually use tree to display structures in file/directory. [16:11] recon691: i guess your not alone^ [16:11] SealedWithAKiss, you need to change the owner of your webroot contents to www-data [16:11] elad, "man ls" [16:11] Jimmymaniac: :) hmm... I assumed that wasn't working [16:11] elad: for i in `ls -R`; do echo "$i"; done [16:12] recon691: at least it works again:D [16:12] SixThreeOh: why cant/wont you upgrade?

When I do, I can't drag a window all the way across the second monitor...it seems to hang and get stuck about 10% of the way across. Should I still use NVIDIA's drivers on Jaunty, or should the default ones work? [16:13] hi is there a way to display gnome system monitor applet information in text mode? [16:13] joaopinto, changing the owner to www-data doesn't work. [16:13] SixThreeOh: you can jump without reinstalling my friend! your going from gutsy to hardy (i think) [16:13] Anyway, that doesn't give me the filename along with its full path in the same line.

[16:15] bogdan_-> you're using ppp , can you post your ppp config file? [16:15] zzxxzz: using it as well, so far so good [16:15] gartral, oh i see, then he need to burn a newer CD, and upgrade from that [16:15] unitedroad: make sure to have the topic in your single line question...

Specifically, I need to search for anything starting with "Nav" [16:16] SealedWithAKiss, search for "user" and "group" parameters [16:16] Ali-smith: try /join #wireless [16:16] is there any place I can find out the list of all the processes that have been run during the system uptime, if it is not provided by any standard linux facility, then is there a program that will help log the process id and command line of all the executed processes [16:16] zzxxzz: When you get to partition, you can use guided partitioning. Just before writing, check partitions and you'll see ext3 there. Highlight it and enter that, and change the filesystem from ext3 to ext4. That's about it. [16:16] SealedWithAKiss, and change for ur username and group [16:16] hello, if i install windows xp on my laptop which already got ubuntu. does it overwrite my grub?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [16:17] unitedroad, I am not aware of such a tracing facility, you could do a cronjob to capture the list of running processes at a given interval time [16:17] I havent a clue im afraid. Im a newb [16:17] n8tuser, i found a /etc/ppp/ directory :) [16:18] mobi-sheep: Do I boot using the alternate CD or boot WinXP and execute something on the CD?

If you messed it up, you can always shut down and start again. It's not long. 5min or so. [16:21] mobi-sheep: I've saved everything important, and have just booted the CD.

[17:06] i need to install a canon printer [17:06] hi, anyone knows why pulseaudio is giving problems and if its there a official way to solve them? i had very bad sound before installation, also any player wasen't working. I parcially solved the problem disabling pulseaudio, and adding the oss kernel modules, now i have sound, but some programs like gnome recording complains about the sound settings under ubuntu administration panel, but players work. Its a driver issue or? [17:06] adelie42: But one thing is for sure, it will be easier to maintain his Linux server, once he get's the hang of it. [17:06] but authentication fails [17:07] msg to hans: only after apt-get update will dnsmasq be in synaptic, dnsmasq-base is on the cd (but rather useless). see you later [17:07] does it normally work in jaunty [17:07] wvmac: I use emerald and I don't see any performance issues, of course I have an AMD64 CPU, 1 GB RAM and an Nvidia 7600GS 512MB video card. [17:07] things are not getting better in Jaunty, but worse. wireless, sound, even wine! [17:07] guys, i when i try record some audio in my ubuntu, always isn't work. Why? [17:07] Hey guys, I'm running 9.04 Netbook Remix. It's seriously good. Congratulations [17:07] I think I'm going back to 8.10 [17:07] there is no tor (the onion router, tor.eff.org) pacakge available for jaunty. Are there any drawbacks if im using the intrepid package [17:08] I'm using Remote Desktop to access a Windows XP machine hosting Ubuntu on Vbox....lots of latency, any suggestions? [17:08] wvmac: I can tell you that on my other system with a 64MB video card emerald lags so I just turn it off. [17:08] hi! could anyone suggest source to read about how to install new kernel into ubuntu? I'm trying to build it but it complains about xen etc... [17:08] cthompson_, what do u want to do exactly? [17:09] neodragon: ok, thanks [17:09] SealedWithAKiss, Options -Indexes works as it should for me (9.04), maybe the setting is overridden in .htaccess or somewhere else in your site's config file? [17:09] usr13, did you see my pm ? [17:09] hell-0 ooboontoos =) [17:09] is there a way to know video and audio codec in ubuntu ?

[17:10] bo7amny: I think running the file command might tell you [17:10] cthompson_, ok:) [17:10] minivitale: XP overwrites your boot record. [17:10] wvmac: if you have at least a 128MB video card you shouldn't have any problems [17:10] vinivitale: you need to rerun grub [17:10] !mbr [17:10] 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 [17:11] dbarnett: thank you so much [17:11] I have Xubuntu 9.04 installed on my older computer, but get no sound.

[17:11] Hello, I SSH to Ubuntu from Arch - it replace arrow keys by $ ^[[A^[[C^[[C^[[B^[[D^[[A at the same time it works good on SSH to CentOS, can you help me? [17:11] No Go joaopinto [17:11] minivitale: pure luck. I was hopping there was a trigger for it:) [17:11] kva_: do you have a second sound card install [17:12] ? [17:12] One more addition about SSH - I get access to Ubuntu using tunell to CentOS machine [17:12] Hello, I got Ubuntu 9.04 installed on my Thinkpad X61 latpot and i am suffering intel GFX perfermance problem as the ReleaseNote mentioned. Is there possible to fix this before the official release to fix it? [17:12] hi all, after upgrading to 9.04 , my screen brightness has decreased . Its become real dim now. What do I do ? [17:12] <_opex_> hi :), i tried googling it but cant find any info or maybe im not searching the right way on - what do i need to sell domains [17:12] neodragon, yes my soundcard works fine in Windows XP (dual-boot) and worked also in other Linuxes [17:12] wheres my skype? [17:12] neodragon: do you have any specific reasons for using it vs gtk-window-decorator [17:13] dbarnett: well whatever works :) also is anybody here familiar with running multiple gfx cards on ubuntu? I have 2 monitors on 1 gfx card and 1 monitor on another. this works in windows but not ubuntu [17:13] minivitale: buy an nvidia 6400-6800 ^^ [17:14] wvmac: my only true reason for using it is because it just looks better then most gtk themes out there in my opinion. [17:14] neodragon, sorry I misread your response -- no, I'm not aware of a second sound card, just read a suggestion on the web to disable onboard sound chip [17:14] gartral: is this not possible with ATI cards? i have an ATI 9500 pro and an ati 7500 card. i'd like to avoid buying new things. [17:15] hi I have an issue with kde4 and update-notifier on debian (yes I know - the system is kde4-backport anyway) my question is: the icon in the tray is really blurry and I wonder which name it has because I have a lot of update-* icons in my theme. does anyone know? [17:15] guys, could anyone suggest how to install new kernel into ubuntu x64 (intrepid)? I'm trying to build it but it complains about xen etc... [17:15] any idea how to get ls to not print the total before files listed? [17:15] minivitale: seperate ati cards, not sure, with nvidia, you get their silly little xmanager aplet that handles all that [17:15] minivitale, it's possible, you'll need to create separate x sessions, i haven't done this though [17:15] s === calc_ is now known as calc [17:16] kva_ if you go to the xubuntu control center there should be an option in there to configure your soundcard, see if it has the correct sound drivers enable. that would be a good place to start. [17:16] minivitale: I don't see why it would not work, but I havn't set that up myself [17:16] neodragon, thanks [17:16] i can't enable desktop effects [17:16] @Seito take a look at kernel.ubuntu.com [17:16] gartral, frostburn: okay, it seems like i'll either have to buy something or start praying to the XOrg gods :) this seems like a project for another time. thanks though! [17:16] thx, jcadam! [17:16] hi ubuntu users :) [17:16] i can't enable desktop effects in jaunty jackalope [17:17] Somebody knows why my acer 5520 microphone can't record any sound in ubuntu 9.04 64 bit?

[17:17] how do I get evolution email alerts to work properly in gnome 2.26 / ubuntu 9.04? [17:17] minivitale: i had the same issue a while back, trying with an nvidia mx 420, and my onboard crap [17:17] minivitale: I'd recommend posting the question to ubuntu forums. someone can either gives the steps necessary or point to a guide, but what you are describing is more than a a click process [17:17] why isnt befs driver shipping with ubuntu? : [17:17] kva_: although I can't remember if that option is in the control center or under system on the menu xubuntu. I haven't actually used xubuntu for at least a year. [17:17] can anyone help me to fix my bash script for adding users? [17:18] neodragon, ok, but where is the controc center found? [17:18] helloooooo [17:18] like22222, enable the restricted driver first (sys/admin/restr.) [17:18] MrSunshine_, because if you know what befs is, you can probably install it on your own [17:18] Hey guys, is it normal for me to see a process called watchdog/0 and watchdog/1 in the system monitor? Thanks [17:19] MerlinW: wht drivers ? [17:19] adelie42: thanks for the advice. I was hoping that 9.04 would potentially have this automatically done just as 8.10 did with dual monitors on a single graphics card. i guess that was wishful thinking. i will head over to the forums. [17:19] MerlinW: wht restrictd drivers? [17:19] is that normal! ... when I try to update my Server [9.04] I get this warning: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! update-manager-core acpid php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 php5-common libcups2 libfreetype6 [17:19] what videocard u have? [17:19] ralmar, yes [17:19] SealedWithAKiss, does ServerTokens settings have anything to do with displaying directory listings? I have set ServerTokens to Prod and ServerSignature to Off in /etc/apache2/conf.d/security and now there's only minimal server identification in http headers [17:19] kva_ it should be under the main menu in xubuntu. let me boot up my live cd of xubuntu on my other pc and see if I can find it for you.
