[00:00] looks like alsa doesn't support the creative X-Fi series [00:00] UbbyCD, problems with PusleAudio are software function, not sound quality [00:00] brb [00:00] thanks for the help [00:00] UbbyCD, someone wrote it before, PulseAudio is just for multiple soundmixing (eg: Videosound on the left speaker, onlinestream-sound on the right speaker) [00:00] I created a key to sign my email with using password and encryption keys... but where does that key go? [00:01] !sound | UbbyCD [00:01] UbbyCD: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:01] can I turn off automatic messages in channel? ones like "Joe Doe has left the room"? [00:01] can someone help me fix my video problem, i installed all the codecs necessary and still can't see video [00:02] hi, please can someone remind me of that command you run to resolve problems with unsuccesful installation of some packages? [00:02] tobi: I had the same connection problem [00:02] there was some '-r' in that... [00:02] UbbyCD, and check your Audio Settings. Should be like 48kHz, 24bit (or more) for good quality! [00:02] im running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and i need to know how to get flash and flash to work with firefox [00:03] lol [00:03] the X-Fi series is like the only one alsa doesn't support [00:03] e1luca: there is a plugin for pidgin chat to hide extra messages. don't know about other chant apps [00:03] zerothis: tnx [00:04] anyone? [00:04] hitos, what did you do to fix it? [00:04] im running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and i need to know how to get flash and flash to work with firefox? [00:04] tobi: I edited /etc/rc.local adding the lines : poff -a; sleep 3; pon ; exit 0; [00:05] slarin: 32 or 64 bit? [00:05] slarin: firefox>tools>addons>get addons or some such [00:05] tobi: Actually, the "exit 0" was already there, i added the lines before it [00:05] slarin: you might try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras, or even adding the medibuntu repositories. these are proprietary solutions [00:05] hello all, can anyone tell me whether or not it is possible to undervolt a Wubi installation of Ubuntu? [00:06] slarin: i normally install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extas' package it grabs flash and java and some other bits. [00:06] 32 bit and im a linux newbie [00:06] hitos, ... your are running Jaunty as well? [00:07] slarin: In that case, install the package flashplugin-nonfree [00:07] tobi: Yes. [00:07] Anyone have any luck getting windowed mode working properly in Ubuntu? Disabling compiz allows it to start, but also causes me to lose my top menubar and taskbar [00:07] ok === Pete_ is now known as Guest65026 === UdontKnow is now known as \0 [00:08] usser, I tried my wired connection and then I am able to connect to the internet via that on Eth0. My internal wireless wil not connect to WWW but apears connected to router. I am not using a proxy. The router is Belkin G+ MIMO. Also the wireless "just worked" on initial install. I don't recall making any network changes prior to last shutdown and now it doesn't work. It has me baffeled. I had installed Debian 5.0 "Lenny" and [00:09] jken146 what do i do after i do apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [00:09] slarin: Hit enter key [00:09] slarin: Restart firefox and try youtube === Guest65026 is now known as pete_^ [00:09] jken146 will do === \0 is now known as root [00:10] after swapping out a nic I now have eth0 and eth3 (instead of the expected eth1).. I could probably remap it with udev, but does anyone have an idea why eth3 may have been chosen in the first place? [00:11] jken146 thank you so much it worked :) [00:11] hi, is there a way to map something like CTRL+P to XF86AudioPause using xmodmap? [00:11] guys i keep getting this error when ever i am on ubuntu http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/8703/trackererror.png What should i do, it keeps popping up no matter what i click [00:11] slarin: You're welcome === root is now known as KnightWhoSaysNi [00:12] guys, I need a mail server strictly for sending mail for an application we have running on an ubuntu server. we don't need it for receiving and delivering mail to users. for this use case, which is better, sendmail or postfix? [00:12] tobi: I wasn't able to find any way to actually fix it. [00:12] I need something lightweight that wont consume to much of the server's resources [00:13] too much [00:13] Hey, I'm looking for a really good game nativ e to ubuntu are there any good ones? [00:13] sendmail really doesnt take too much resources, the biggest thing is making sure its secure so other people don't send mail using it [00:13] ice are you getting any kind of error? [00:13] wtf [00:13] !language [00:13] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:13] Late response much [00:14] oh, sorry, didn't notice that wasn't allowed. [00:14] guys i keep getting this error when ever i am on ubuntu http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/8703/trackererror.png What should i do, it keeps popping up no matter what i click [00:14] TopRamen: If you only want to send mail, why not just configure your app to send mail via e.g. smtp.googlemail.com ? [00:14] has anyone ported directx 10 to libnux yet? [00:14] dork_paste: Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games [00:14] rdove: is that difficult to do? [00:14] i've already been there, I said good games [00:15] rdove: if I just locked it down to ONLY accept mail being sent from the localhost, would that do it? [00:15] dork_paste: good is a relative term. [00:15] Well, I came from windows, so you know something at that level would be good. [00:15] !find freecol [00:15] Found: freecol [00:15] dork_paste: your criteria is rather vague. [00:15] !cedega | dork_paste [00:15] Hello.

Battle for Wesnoth is not a bad strategy game [00:16] SavageII is also nifty (comercial game with linux client) [00:16] yo mate [00:16] dork_paste: But if it's Windows games you like, I suggest you check out winehq.org [00:16] TopBunny88 yeah only allow localhost [00:16] TopRamen: yeah only allow localhost [00:16] well, like I don't really want to pay, that's why I'm on linux :> [00:17] hey guys, i'm having trouble getting wubi to install ubuntu - anyone think they can help? [00:17] how do i set up a hypercam? [00:17] actually I'm really into multiplayer first person shooters [00:17] but openarena doesn't quite cut it [00:17] TopRamen: here is a couple tutorials: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5507 -- http://www.wikihow.com/Configure-Sendmail [00:17] drok_paste: what about urbanterror? [00:17] dork_paste: urban terror is fragtastic [00:17] :) [00:17] The Quake people are working on a linux client [00:17] rdove: so sendmail will consume much less resources than postifx will? [00:17] thanks for your help btw [00:17] wait wasn't that an unreal tournament mod that was like bad cs? [00:18] I liked Urban Terror better then CS. [00:18] TopRamen: theres also a channel dedicated to sendmail on this server, you'd have to join the channel sendmail [00:18] HAHAHAHA [00:18] Trembulus is also popular [00:18] CS was like the best game ever though, they've remade it so many times [00:18] rdove: ok I'll give it a whirl [00:18] dork_paste: so go play it then. :) [00:18] ugh and tremulous is too easy >_> I played lots of quake 3 andi t's just like ez mode [00:18] dork_paste: naturally. [00:19] well, wine doesn't support the remake (Left 4 Dead) so I'm like stuck ad stuff [00:19] Go get SavageII demo its free for like 3 hrs. :) [00:19] TopRamen: postfix is easier to setup and is more secure [00:19] Isn't Ur-Quan Masters open source? [00:19] are there some Transmission settings i'm not aware of or is Transmission just terminally slow? my ports are open, i can access the web interface, but i'm on a torrent that's a top 10 torrent at a certain Bay i know and i only get 14KB down, connected to 14 of 62 peers when there are thousands of seeders and even more leachers.... [00:19] hitos: yes it is. [00:19] what's the deal? [00:19] screw amarok [00:19] is there a gtk alternative thats good [00:19] i serached for trembulous and i can't find it [00:19] bhsx: i dont find transmission slow. [00:20] dork_paste: i never can spell it right.. [00:20] Why it is classified as non-free? [00:20] tremulous? [00:20] how bout rhythmbox is it good or is there a better gtk audio player manager [00:20] hitos: the data files may have some restrictions? [00:20] rdove: that's what I've heard [00:20] rdove: so I'm looking at both [00:20] also is there like a link to urban terror/trembulous/SavageII google is pretty hard for me obn linux as a new user i am just very slow do you have any protips for getting fast er at us ign linux fastetr [00:20] TopRamen: i dont know which has better performance [00:20] UbbyCD: personally, I like banshee. But I also like amarok [00:20] that's cool, but is there a reason why i'm only seeing 62 peers, and why i'm downloading so slowly/ [00:20] whats better [00:20] UbbyCD: rhythimbox is great, but i prefer quodlibet [00:20] wait isn't torrenting illegal!? [00:21] can yall sum up in a few words why you like the ones you like [00:21] dork_paste: Only if the content is [00:21] dork_paste: No its not. [00:21] I would really appreciate it [00:21] dork_paste: there are legal torrents like ubuntu [00:21] as my laptop is weird [00:21] hey, my nb monitor is broken, is there an option to disable it in grub? [00:21] dork_paste: no, not per se [00:21] hi all, i need some help. i need to format my usb stick to fat32, how do i do it in ubuntu? [00:21] and i dont want to break functionality installing all the different players [00:21] BePhantom: do you have gparted installed? [00:21] BePhantom: mkfs.vfat [00:21] iam using ubuntu in a VM i edited the /etc/network file to use a static address , but it is still being assigned address dynamicly .. :( ? any ideas [00:22] like why is quodlibet good and ive heard banshee is goos somewhere else too [00:22] BePhantom: use gparted is one way. [00:22] danielrmt, i think not, dunno [00:22] hello [00:22] guys i keep getting this error when ever i am on ubuntu http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/8703/trackererror.png What should i do, it keeps popping up no matter what i click [00:22] genii, mkfs.vfat and what else? [00:22] UbbyCD: Banshee has good integration with Last.fm, including scrobbling and a recommendation panel which is awesome. Also I like the layout. [00:22] what's the fastest browser would you guys suggest using IE6 through wine? I think that firefoxfeee ls really slow? how long unti l google chrome gets ported i heard that that is the fastest brwowerser [00:22] dork_paste i would never suggest using IE. [00:23] good enough for me .. Installed [00:23] i dont find firefox slow at all.. there is opera also dork_paste [00:23] I really like what i see from it thoutrh it is much much MUCH faster thatn the natetive versions of firefox on wine for me [00:23] dork_paste, you can have chrome now by adding googles repos. I use FF3.5 [00:23] i have ubuntu installed on another parition but i dont have mIRC on it [00:23] does mIRC work with ubuntu [00:23] dork_paste: firefox on wine?? [00:23] Rhythmbox is being a MASSIVE CPU hog for me. [00:23] gent_first: it might work with wine... but theres other irc clients id suggest. [00:23] gent_first: Irssi!! [00:23] BePhantom: You might want to change partition type first to some windows kind with a partitioner like gparted as suggested. But otherwise, jst something like: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdz1 for instance, if your usb stick is registering as sdz [00:23] NONONONO like Internet Explorer on Wine it just seems way faster and like there might be way more support for really cool flash websites like newgrounds and stufff [00:24] gent_first: xchat , irssi [00:24] Dr_Willis: sure, i just want it to be free/open source etc. like mIRC [00:24] so is rhythmbox or banshee better on system resources [00:24] gent_first: mirc is neither free, nor opensource =p [00:24] gent_first: mirc isnt open source [00:24] UbbyCD: Rhythmbox is using 20% of my CPU ATM. [00:24] gent_first: err.. mIRC is not Free/opensourced.. most people use 'xchat' not 'xchat-gnome' so try them out [00:24] do you really need a real-time curnel to run Frooty Loops effectively or should I just stick to LMMS?! [00:24] thats kinna high [00:24] how do you install wine? [00:24] mIRC has some really nasty licensing stuff [00:24] darthanubis: what are the google repos for chrome? [00:24] mikey_: in the package manager, or use the winehq versions [00:24] I'm afraid you see I have this fear of "RT" "Real Time" and things that have r or t in them in general [00:24] dork_paste: flash works fine under linux IME [00:24] UbbyCD: don't know, I would guess rhtythmbox is less resources, but I've never tested. [00:24] UbbyCD: It was higher before I disabled Pulseaudio. [00:24] !wine [00:24] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [00:24] what does "repos" mean [00:25] iam using ubuntu in a VM i edited the /etc/network file to use a static address , but it is still being assigned address dynamicly .. ?? any ideas [00:25] yeh and you have to look at that goon everytime you start up the program like hes the god of irc [00:25] lascar: Search google =o You'll find it. [00:25] I am looking for a way to execute a list of commands and re-order their GUI appearance (x,y) once they're loaded. [00:25] http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ubuntu704.html [00:25] dork_paste: repositories [00:25] !repository [00:25] i hate that piece of crap [00:25] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [00:25] thanks [00:25] lascar, one google search away [00:25] well the reason i prefer mIRC as the client is that it's free/open source etc. i never paid for it. [00:25] his picture gets uglier every time i see it. and they make you look at it longer each time too [00:25] gent_first: It isn't free or opensource!! [00:25] it's also secure, imo [00:25] gent_first: never paying for it does NOT make it 'free/opensourced' [00:25] xeer: you mean like devilspie? [00:26] gent_first: as for secure.. well.. i recall many bugs with it in the past. [00:26] lascar, you can add all types of repos with ubuntutweak [00:26] someone help :P please [00:26] are there any search egines that are more efficient on linex? google just feels really slow and like it isn't cutting it, should you suggest using ask when oyu're on linux or like somethign wrreraly good like MetaCrawledr!? [00:26] gent_first: try out other irc clients.. see what you like. [00:26] google ubuntutweak [00:26] with mIRC u can use ssl. Well anyways, that apart, since mIRC is free/OSS, surely there must be a linux build [00:26] i dont want to compile it myself [00:26] guys i keep getting this error when ever i am on ubuntu http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/8703/trackererror.png What should i do, it keeps popping up no matter what i click [00:26] gent_first: MIRC IS NOT FREE OR OPENSOURCE LOL [00:26] dork_paste: search engine efficiency doesn't change with your OS [00:26] gent_first: err... for the last time. mIRC is not 'free/OSS' [00:26] How do I compile spotlight for ubuntu is there a spotlight repository does anyone have a link? [00:26] its a tracker applet error, any ideas [00:27] OK, then why is it available for free? [00:27] gent_first: IT ISNT [00:27] I really like the mac spotlight and i want it on linux it worked really good on windows but i just kan't find it for ubutntut [00:27] ? [00:27] gent_first: I tend to use xchat in linux and windows. [00:27] gent_first: free as in "free speech" is not the same as in "free beer" [00:27] gent_first: lately i been using irssi and 'znc' [00:27] gent_first: It's a free trial, and its definitly not opensource, cause it's crap. =p [00:27] Mine is free, it never asks for a licensing free. Only nags for "donation" etc. well that isn't like their asking for a fee [00:27] gent_first: mirc is proprietary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIRC [00:27] They are asking for a fee.. [00:27] Also, you dont have to 'activate' mIRC or some bs like that.. [00:27] any big features banshee has over rhythmbox [00:27] !open_source [00:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about open_source [00:27] !free software [00:27] rhythmbox and banshee look almost the same [00:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about free software [00:28] !free [00:28] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [00:28] gent_first: Yeah you do!

I heard that they can lag down your hloe operating system on windwows?! [00:28] I mean ubuntu yeah [00:28] that's ubuntu i was talking about in that message [00:28] dork_paste: Depends on graphics card, and ram =) [00:28] dork_paste: anything running/doing things slow down the os a bit... [00:28] OK, so what' sthe mIRC version for unbuntu. which client [00:28] I think it's 6.36 [00:28] UbbyCD: use them for a while, I don't really feel they are the same, but I think you need to try them and see what you like better. Banshee is under much heavier development, and I think in another year it will be blowing RB out of the water. [00:28] gent_first: there is no 'mIRC' for linux. ther eare IRC clients... [00:28] I am using mIRC because I really lik [00:29] gent_first: No mIRC for ubuntu... Try xchat, or Irssi [00:29] e the scripting environment [00:29] it's just much more powerful [00:29] hi, I have a weird issue that I can't pinpoint easily... sometimes some software will just freeze for some while... those includes xchat, audacious, and gnome-terminal e.g... I suspect it's dbus related.. [00:29] thanks great suggestions [00:29] thatn any scripting environment that i see whenever i am running IRC [00:29] have a good one [00:29] sometimes it will bring all gdm down at a point [00:29] It 's very good for scripting in IRC, in short. [00:29] dork_paste: its scripting enviroment is rather pathic compared to the actual languages other irc clients under linux can use. [00:29] !enter [00:29] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:29] but ith as if statements what do other scripting envitroentments in irc chat rooms foffer that are much more robust/powerful/portable as if statements? [00:30] dork_paste: most CLI irc clients support scripting. ircii supported it long before mirc existed. [00:30] Then again.. how much scripting do most people actually need. [00:30] I think mirc has goto's too, that's just very very powerful [00:30] Yeah, you can do the scripts thing with mIRC. there are several scripts available for mIRC. does any client for linux does this [00:30] dork_paste: xchat can do perl, python, and other languages.. [00:30] gent_first: YEAH use google lol.. [00:30] can someone help me with compiling c with gcc in ubuntu [00:30] gent_first: theres numerous linux irc clients with scripting features.. it depends on your needs. [00:30] dork_paste: gotos are your definition of powerful. Dude, seriously...I give, stick with mIRC [00:30] oooh waht other languages? can it do java I really like java in my opinion java is the best scripting language ever [00:30] hi [00:31] coleys: ._. i just said i know there are scripts... why ur telling me to google [00:31] dork_paste: Java is not a scripting language; it's a compiled language [00:31] dork_paste: proberly could. but i wouldent call java a 'scripting' language. [00:31] gent_first: Google will find you whatever you need... i.e. IRC client for Linux [00:31] ok, my problem just happened.. if anyone has experienced any weird software freezes..

I heard that might be the most powerful scripting language ever [00:32] have you guys heard of that ruby snke thing with all of the TILDES [00:32] do any IRC clients support that [00:32] gent_first: You have nooo clue what you are talking about... =o ... Alt + f2 --> sudo apt-get install xchat (check run in terminal) [00:32] You can write irc clients in ruby i recall.. and ive seen irc clients written in perl :) [00:32] when ever i try to compile c in terminal i type in "gcc NAME.c" and then i get no such file or directory [00:32] dr0pknutz: gimme link [00:32] dork_paste: any language that doesnt' have to be compiled before running is considered a scripting language. Java has to be compiled, Javascript does not. [00:32] sorry not dr0pknutz [00:32] have any of you tried writing a scriptable IRC client withing a scriptable IRC client? that seems like it would be a very definition of power! [00:32] Dr_Willis: gimme link plz. working [00:33] gent_first: google.com perhaps? [00:33] alt_23: I think gcc outputs a.out or something unless you specify the name, try man gcc to see the options [00:33] dork_paste: Java is compiled to run in a virtual machine, the JVM. It creates an abstraction layer between the OS and the java application. [00:33] Dr_Willis: ok i told u i searched google. their are many clients for linux IRC but nothing like mIRC and certainly no installation files. [00:33] ok i also try gcc name -o name.c and i get the same [00:33] why wont the sound work in 9,04? [00:33] gent_first: You have nooo clue what you are talking about... =o ... Alt + f2 --> sudo apt-get install xchat (check run in terminal) [00:33] gent_first: its time you learned some ubuntu/linux basics.. start with the 'ubuntu package manager' docs. [00:33] !synaptic | gent_first [00:33] gent_first: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [00:34] hitos that seems like it would be very insceucre i do not know much boubt java but i'd think that virtual machines are dangerors [00:34] gent_first: you do NOT NOT NOT normally go to web sites and download 'installer files' for ubuntu apps. [00:34] neopsyche_: ensure that it enabled form details windoe of vbox [00:34] powertool08 , i try gcc and get "no input files" [00:34] is it more efficient to use synaptic or apt-get i don't want to bog down my machine too much [00:34] Dr_Willis: Your so patient kudos to you, haha =) [00:34] dork_paste: apt-get or aptitude [00:34] DIL: it is enabled [00:34] OK. Don't you agree that in order to use an app u have to INSTALL IT?! [00:34] DIL: it doesnt connect [00:34] hitos: Actually, it is safer than a program that is run directly. [00:34] gent_first: for most programs, yes [00:34] dork_paste: it dosent matter. they are the same. [00:34] would you prefer WINE or VirtualBox? [00:35] darthanubis: I hate ubuntu tweak. [00:35] alt_23: Sorry, I don't know, I haven't compiled a C program in awhile [00:35] mikey_: totally depends on the task you are doing. [00:35] ok, maybe someone else can help [00:35] * bondo689 giggles [00:35] but with that user interface isn't theyre a pretty good chance that there are some really good memoery links in the csscripts behind it [00:35] lascar, whatever [00:35] what do you mean? [00:35] Note to self, stop talking to self. [00:35] gent_first: but many programs have their own packages for ubuntu, often in ubuntu's own official repositories or launchpad's PPAs [00:35] gent_first: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware [00:35] dork_paste: i doubt if thers any memory leaks in programs that are used by 10000000+ users eveyr day.. that stuff gets caught real fast [00:35] Where to find the whole package for installing irssi [00:35] when i try to go to youtube [00:35] mikey_: running a whole os = use virtualbox.. one app = try wine [00:35] and listen i get no sound and forced to restart [00:36] gent_first: Alt + f2 ---> sudo apt-get install irssi (run in terminal) [00:36] gent_first: its in the package manager under 'irssi' read the irssi.org docs also to learn to use it. [00:36] how do i restartx [00:36] lascar, ubuntutweak would have gotten you what you wanted without having to remain ignorant to the google repos [00:36] but i thouthg that by fermat's theorem any type of program that outputs to the screenstream must be losing data somwherers [00:36] ohhh i see, thank you [00:36] ? [00:36] wow you should of slapped me with a large trout for saying rhythmbox and banshee are the same [00:36] or maybe that's nyquists that i am thinking of, like the pixels would lose data and entropize [00:36] gent_first: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware [00:36] bonhoffer: ctrl+alt+bksp will do that [00:36] banshee is amazing [00:36] i pressed alt+f2 nothing happened [00:36] how do they get the similar artist recommendations? [00:36] powertool08, doesn't work [00:36] dork_paste and gent_first are a pretty obvious couple of trolls [00:36] bonhoffer: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart also works [00:36] ubuntu tweak was also responsible for an annoying problem on my notebook. Thanks, but I'll pass on that piece of code. [00:37] Yeah [00:37] ?? what is troll? [00:37] I was kindaaa assuming lol. [00:37] anyone looking for a good media player for ubuntu get banshee NOW! [00:37] whats program is equivalent like ares in ubuntu ? [00:37] dork_paste: go spend an hr+ reading some basic docs/guides then come back... [00:37] pc3 and thanks for suggesting it whoever did [00:37] !troll | gent_first [00:37] gent_first: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubotu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [00:37] hi, I'm looking for help [00:37] dork_paste: Trolls are unwelcome visitors to irc channels [00:37] K, i got WINE installed, so how do i run windows apps with it now? === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [00:37] Coldbeer: don't accuse me of doing stuff like trolling. [00:38] I dont like being wrongly accused. [00:38] I'm trying to install 9.04 from an iso without burning the iso to a cd [00:38] Me neither [00:38] mikey_: read the wine wiki pages/docs yet? basjcs.. 'wine /path/to/whatever/program.exe' [00:38] can someone help with compilng c with gcc? [00:38] why wont the sound work in 9.04? [00:38] is it worth upgrading to jaunty? [00:38] gent_first: Read the definintion of trolling, it clearly applies to you. =) [00:38] you guys should be nicer to the noobies how do you expect linux to get popular if you accuse us of things like trolling :( [00:38] So how do u install irssi? I tried alt+f2, nothing happened [00:38] Kungen354646: there could be many reasons [00:38] alt_23: you might want to try #C, its probably less busy [00:38] gent_first: open a terminal and type in "sudo apt-get install irssi" [00:38] gent_first: use the package manger tool [00:38] gent_first: use System > Adminstration >Synaptic paackage manager [00:38] Kungen354646: good question! Sounds ports only to my headphone jack in 9.04 [00:38] Soda2: You could use unetbootin to put the iso on a usb stick then install from that [00:39] is there any way to bind key shortcuts so that you use +something [00:39] gent_first: Applications > Acessories > Terminal --> sudo apt-get install irssi [00:39] powertool08, true, i forgot there were other rooms for a sec lol. [00:39] Kungen354646: it depends partly on your hardware and sound settings [00:39] coleys: it DOES NOT apply to me. According to u, anyone who doesnt know as much as u is a troll?!! if this is ur attitude then im not surprized ppl shy away from linux [00:39] it's really bugging me i want things to go fast [00:39] Soda2: that might be tricky, have a usb you could use? [00:39] ok, i think i get it [00:39] gent_first: People don't shy away from linux. =p [00:39] and seems like the best key to do stuff with [00:39] lstarnes: im having problems with sound in flash it seems [00:39] coleys: well stop being meen to new ppl [00:39] gent_first, coleys: both of you stop this and get back to being on-topic [00:39] super key is often used by a lot of COmpiz 'features' [00:39] is it worth upgrading to 9.04? [00:39] dork_paste: the Keyboard settings thing in Preferences lets you do things like that [00:39] I don't have a usb or a cd. the main site says to use something like sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0 [00:39] but it doesn't work right [00:39] if I try and bind super with anything it doesn't work >( [00:39] lstarnes: I am doing nothing. =/ [00:40] it's been like this since 7.xx [00:40] but I can't get anything to work. I've been trying for a couple hours [00:40] lstarnes: ok. [00:40] lstarnes: i think there is an alsa problem, so ive switched to oss, but flash doesnt support oss or something [00:40] So how do u install irssi. plz tell me i figgered everthing else in linux except IRC and internet connection [00:40] !install | Soda2 [00:40] Soda2: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [00:40] burntresistor: I did an upgrade, and it wasn't working very well, then I did a clean install (since I have a separate home partition) and I have to say a clean 9.04 is phenominal. Boots in about 22 seconds, runs smooth as silk, very very nice. [00:40] gent_first: sudo apt-get install irssi [00:40] gent_first: sudo apt-get install irssi [00:41] iceroot: snap! [00:41] jken146: to slow :) [00:41] gent_first: run 'synaptic' from the menus.. serach for irssi, install it.. or use the command line given a dozen times so far.. [00:41] Hi, can someone tell me if Launchpad is down? It's been several days I've been trying to enter but I can't... [00:41] gent_first: I gave you the instructions. Open a terminal (Applications > accessories > terminal) then enter the command that jken146 and iceroot said to use [00:41] jpangamarca: does not look down for me [00:41] jpangamarca: launchpad.net works for me [00:41] lstarnes: Which I have also said many times, but he 'refuses to acknowledge the answer' [00:41] Not to be an idiot, but I have a question - is banshee a gnome-native program? [00:42] jpangamarca: you can also use this site in the future: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ [00:42] Roasted: yes [00:42] Roasted: I believe it is [00:42] Roasted: I believe it uses gnome libs [00:42] Roasted: i don't actually know, but "apt-cache show banshee" shows a lot of gnome-related dependencies [00:42] powertool: it says i need a registered username on ##c (redirects from #c) [00:42] okay, thanks. I always heard a lot about banshee and never touched it cause I liked amarok. AFter seeing what amarok2 brought to the table I knew I had to find something else that was designed with half a brain. Banshee fits the bill but I just wasnt sure if it was gnome or kde. [00:42] hello [00:43] Do you guys always get this huffy when people are in a frenzy to get their new operating system working? If so, I'm not suprised your market-share is in the red [00:43] alt_23: hmm, try #bash, they might get annoyed and say you're in the wrong channel, but I bet they'd know [00:43] dork_paste: not usually [00:43] * lascar goes to try Banshee [00:43] dork_paste - whats up man? [00:43] powertool08: k haha ill try it. [00:43] dork_paste - what do you need help with? [00:43] everyone got all angry and started accusing me of being a troll [00:43] I just had alot of questions :( [00:43] talk about stupid people [00:43] dork_paste - I only just now started to watch the chat so I have no idea what happened earlier. [00:44] hi guys. I have a question. let's say that I do a "vi lala" in the terminal. then I do "stat lala", and my access time isn't updated. any reasons? [00:44] dork_paste: Dork honestly you don't have to take it so personally, just proove your not one. No reason to be upset for being called a troll if your not one =p. [00:44] dork_paste - I will be the first to admit, these chat rooms are nazi driven, so keep it kindergarten rated in here. The forums however are actually treated with a human-being manner. [00:44] Mikel: is the partition mounted with noatime? [00:44] hi, how do I configure NetworkManager not to ask me for a password when booting Ubuntu? [00:44] dork_paste - what were your questions though? Maybe I can help. [00:44] when you get 2000+ people in a chat room you MUST keep a tight rein on it. [00:44] Yanick_: using an empty keyword for keyring-manager if you are using auto-login [00:45] noatime? excuse my I'm quite of a newb so I don't know. But my modification time seems to be working fine [00:45] dr_willis - there's a line, I understand, but theres a tight line with THIS particular room, and I'm not the only one who sees it. [00:45] STICK YOUR PENIS IN MY PENIS [00:45] what is x11? [00:45] wtf [00:45] Thats why he's a troll =p [00:45] Roasted: then ya get people that just feel like being rude.... [00:45] What does the '0' in "chmod 01777" mean? Is it different from "chmod 1777"? [00:45] The only thing thats stopping me from deleting windows and using linux all the way is lack of mIRC and internet dosent work [00:45] iceroot: so, an empty entry in the "Password and encryption Keyrings" will be used as default? [00:45] bonhoffer: it's the display server protocol used by the x window system and its servers like Xorg [00:46] I've got the feeling dork_paste was asking for it. [00:46] For the life of me, I can't figure out how to find out how much space I have left on my disk. Can anyone help me? [00:46] hitos: probably 0 or 1 is the name of compute if ur using different computers at the same time or sumth [00:46] better shut up when not having something good to say [00:46] gent_first: there are other irc clients.. go test them out.. or run mIRC in wine if you must hafve mIRC [00:46] gent_first: Mirc is one of many irc clients... lol... its ugly. [00:46] Dextl: df -h [00:46] thanks [00:46] he may be asking for it, but people are being awful rude to people with questions lately. [00:46] gent_first: to install any software in ubuntu, open applications > add/remove. then search for xchat [00:46] i heard on some threads that compiz wanst working right on new installs for 9.04 is that true or is it most likley those peopel just upgraded [00:46] lstarnes, interesting, so display protocol -- converts OS commands into monitor code [00:47] gent_first: you can see more about installing softaware in ubuntu in http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware [00:47] kind of like openGL? [00:47] anybody have video tearing with nvidia in 904? [00:47] anyway... [00:47] Is compbiz installed by default in 9.04? [00:47] what would the windows equiv of x11 be? [00:47] Roasted: ive not seen the issue on my 8800gtsxxx and the 180 drivers [00:47] Roasted: nope. I am noticing tearing when using the new ATI open source driver, but not nvidia [00:47] bonhoffer: windows explorer [00:47] hi [00:47] cdavis: Yeah, for effects ... sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [00:47] bonhoffer: explorer.exe [00:47] bonhoffer: there is none.. You can install xming to get 'X' in windows [00:47] dr_willis - I have 180 drivers with a 9600GT... tearing... [00:47] why internet dosent work with ubuntu [00:47] what is the madwifi version that works on vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic ? [00:47] bonhoffer: nit's used as a window display and manipulation system [00:48] *it's [00:48] i've some compilation problem [00:48] o.k. hold on -- so i thought x11 what the display protocol not the windows system [00:48] not as bad as intrepid, but, still existent [00:48] gent_first: please be more specific, how are you connecting to the internet? wireless? [00:48] hi Im new to ubuntu and I am having problems with my wireless keyboard and mouse. they work for a while and after the they froze and the only way to get it working again is to rebooted the computer [00:48] so i would see metacity --> explorer.exe [00:48] Roasted: describe exactly what you mean by 'tearing' ive never noticed it. [00:48] bonhoffer: it's the protocol used by the window syste, [00:48] gent_first: it does for me. What type of interface are you using? [00:48] *system === carpediem1 is now known as carpediem [00:48] argh! what is wrong with alsa?? [00:48] I have about 300 files i need to unzip all in one folder, is there a command to unzip all zip files from a command line? [00:49] lstarnes, yes, the protocol, not the system itself [00:49] Every time I turn on my laptop, my system settings are all reset. If I set a new wallpaper, or a new windows theme, the next time I boot, it's all back to 9.04 defaults. [00:49] georgep: unzip [00:49] so what display protocol does windows use? [00:49] georgep: unzip [00:49] georgep: unzip *.zip [00:49] georgep: are the actual ZIP files ? if so --> unzip '*.zip' [00:49] georgep: watch out for the quotes. [00:49] dr_willis - pop a DVD in and watch an action scene. If you see a ripple at any point, or a line, particularly horizontally, thats what I mean. [00:49] who wants to lick my asshole? [00:49] thanks all [00:49] lol [00:49] so I want to look at a whole lot of porn on my new Ubuntu install, how do I keep my wife from finding all of it?

[00:49] its hairy and dirty [00:50] lingame22: password it [00:50] !permissions | lingame [00:50] lingame: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [00:50] and brown and wrinkled [00:50] well we only want to have one account I have to keep it like a secret [00:50] BilokShem, watch your subject matter. [00:50] dr_willis - heres a picture I took watching a music video in VLC http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y36/Roasted/?action=view¤t=SlashGuitarII.png [00:50] lingame22: make a 2nd account.. takes all of 10 sec. [00:50] dr_willis - look at his chest area [00:50] but she'll know about it then [00:50] lingame22: make another account just for you [00:50] she's pretty bright she'll look at the logs [00:50] whats a good shell IRC client to use within GNU screen [00:50] lingame22, how savvy is your wife with Ubuntu? Does she know that you can make your porn hidden files by placing a period in front of it? If not, she won't know to look. [00:50] panfist: Irssi [00:50] lingame22: add a . in front of the filename and its hidden, unless you have show hidden files turned on [00:50] I've got an issue with keyboard mapping, I'm on an iBook G4, I swap ctrl and caps lock, xev says they are swapped, but ctrl doesn't actually work [00:51] she's used it a whole lot more than I have [00:51] thanks [00:51] Roasted: i even see such things in windows.. i rarely notice them.. :) [00:51] i am trying to install ubuntu 9.04 and i can't figure out how to set up system disk encryption (it used to be in text installer in 8 but its seems to be gone in 9) [00:51] lingame22: install virtualbox and truecrypt all of the files [00:51] dr_willis - *shrug* I dont get it in vista on the same machine. [00:51] "install": see, that would leave logs [00:51] dr_willis - I have seen it in windows though too [00:51] what's a abrowser? [00:51] Question - When I right click a song, go to properties, then the "Audio" tab on the far right, theres stats about the song track.... how can I edit this information?

[00:52] in fact I'm kinda getting there right now [00:52] Roasted: i do tend to run dual monitors or monitor + tv out. :) but i rarely notice it. may be i always watch anime so its not as noticeable [00:52] hurry >_> [00:52] lingame22, buy an external harddrive and keep your porn on there and just mount it when you're ready to do your thing. [00:52] no one uses madwifi? :( [00:52] hi Im new to ubuntu and I am having problems with my wireless keyboard and mouse. they work for a while and after then they froze and the only way to get it working again is to rebooted the computer [00:52] a program called abrowser [00:52] i have windows and ubuntu so when i trn on my comp i have opcion windows ubuntu and something more from ubuntu how can i clear so thet i can only have a opsion window or ubuntu? anyone hellp?

[00:53] sorry [00:53] the program called ABrowser. [00:53] lingame22: If she has sudo rights there's no way you can stop her from finding anything [00:53] is there anyway to crapflood the logs?

[00:54] RIGHT NOW [00:54] Linuz2009: the best answer really is... don't do it. if you must... then either accept that you will eventually get caught, or divorce now so you can do it freely. keeping secrets from your spouse is never a great way to engender trust. [00:54] HURRY PLEASE >_> [00:54] lingame22: Oh, I have the answer. Go to the book store and look at Playboy.

[00:54] if i do a modprobe for firmware, do i only have to run it once? [00:55] or at every boot [00:55] PhotoJim: He's probably a teenager =p [00:55] but i really really really need to look at porn, and she really really really doesn't need to know about it. porn is so important to me right now and if linux can't provide me with secretive porn, i'm just going to have to stop using this junk. === DARKSTORM is now known as Guest50508 [00:55] coleys: :) [00:55] think i put some bad firmware on my tuner card but i can't get it off [00:55] cipher42: every boot unless you add it to a file, forget the name of it though [00:55] how can i secure my ubuntu installation enough so that it's to log in from the outside === Guest6332 is now known as |_Mikey_| [00:55] lingame22: then stop [00:55] lingame22: you should use Windows then. [00:55] wait... [00:56] linux can provide secret anything, way more than windows [00:56] so you agree that linux is junk? [00:56] Feels like a bunch of trolls tonight, lol...

[00:56] lingame22: Linux isn't junk. But you think it is. and it's your computer. So good luck! [00:56] lingame22: saying stuff like that is not how you get assistance [00:56] lingame22: I wonder if maybe a subject change is in order? [00:56] no i just really need porn and i really want linux to use it. [00:56] cipher42: add it to /etc/modules [00:56] Anybody knows if "chmod 01777" is different from "chmod 1777"? [00:56] neopsyche: only things ive ever had to do for networking was congiure the os in virtualbox to use dhcp. and it works.

[00:57] well of course my left hand would know [00:57] lingame22: just use a second browser or delete things from the history manually [00:57] but it still does somehow [00:57] cipher42: I think the file is rc.mod or something [00:57] i'm trying to set up a secure and easy ssh connection to my ubuntu machine from the outside world [00:57] but my girlfriend might know [00:57] i can't install another browser, that's logged >_> [00:57] carpediem: Install linux on a usb stick.

When done put the usb stick somewhere safe. etc [00:57] still trying to install 9.04 from the iso without burning it to a cd [00:57] lingame22 get a better girlfriend that watches porn, and use linux. win-win [00:57] neopsyche: with the network config icon at the top right.. but last time i did ubuntu in virtualbox i think it defaulted to dhcp anyway [00:57] lingame22: then maybe you need a different girlfriend [00:57] panfist: are you having problems? [00:57] carpediem: Apologies, wrong nick [00:57] lingame22, is your girlfriend really so paranoid that if you installed, say, galeon and then uninstalled it she would automatically deduce it was for porn? [00:57] I have two network adapters on seperate LANs is it possible to specify which internet connection a specific program should use? [00:57] lingame22: : Install linux on a usb stick. Boot and surf from it.

[00:58] cdavis i'm trying to make sure it's secure, i heard about people using special encryption keys they store on a thumb drive [00:58] guys, cron task * * * * * should be runned every minute? [00:58] mac94161: Pornography and secrecy aren't illegal [00:58] mac94161: proberly is. [00:58] pisecx: yes [00:58] cdavis or how to configure to use secure passphrases etc [00:58] lingame22: You need a new girlfriend that doesn't control your life lol =p [00:58] but it could be to get around the work stuff. :) [00:58] So you guys think that a LiveCD is probably a good way to do exactly what I am asking about? XD [00:58] * DIL has been wondering about linegane22 also [00:58] iceroot: I have added it using crontab -e, but got nothing, where can I have a look at log? [00:58] panfist: you want to go read about authorized_keys or just use a very good password [00:58] lingame22, you could use the liveCD. That'll work. [00:58] XD XD XD [00:58] cdavis right now i'm using ssh to log into my new ubuntu machine on my own subnet, behind my router, but i want to secure it so i can log in from work, or maybe even have the ubuntu box on a dmz [00:59] lingame22: Since nothing is saves when you use livecd, yes [00:59] pisecx: post your complet cron-line [00:59] No one said lingame22 is breaking any laws. [00:59] ok so I am glad that a Live CD is a good idea [00:59] iceroot: * * * * * /home/z/temp/test.sh [00:59] cdavis what about stuff like intrusion detection, like does a basic ubuntu box do anything special if it thinks that someone is trying to brute force their way in? [00:59] haha #ubuntu is jokes tonight lol [00:59] tru [00:59] how do i get the mod to stop running at startup? [00:59] Is today like.. troll day? [01:00] coleys: yes it seems that way. [01:00] panfist: use pubkey authentication with a strong password, change the keys as often as you feel necessary, keep the box patched, turn off any services you aren't using, secure the ones you are. [01:00] coleys: well there's no school on the weekends [01:00] coleys, it's like the wild west. [01:00] iceroot: of course, I tried ./test.sh before [01:00] panfist: if you port forward only port 22 to your linux box, make sure root is not allowed ssh access and set a good password on your account you should be ok. Of course keeping up with security updates is a must [01:00] Dr_Willis: is there a way to force dhcp? im not sure where you are talking about [01:00] pisecx: * * * * * sh /home/z/temp/test.sh or * * * * * cd /home/z/temp/ && ./test.sh [01:00] panfist: also look into 'denyhosts' [01:00] coleys, we need sheriff Dillon. [01:00] lingame22: Are you trolling? [01:00] iceroot: thanks [01:00] so, are there any good water boarding games for linux? [01:00] pinnerup: np [01:00] do i need to look into snort or is that overkill? [01:01] lingame22 is bordering on trolling. [01:01] mac94161: yeah basicallyyy [01:01] lingame22, have you tried gitmoforyou? [01:01] neopsyche: network settings stuff.. you can configure dhcp or a static ip. dhcp always works for me on most every distro under virtualbox [01:01] if i can wrap my head around securing ubuntu behind myfirewall, i eventually want ubuntu to -be- my firewall [01:01] neopsyche: unless you dont have a nic enabled in the vbox settings [01:01] or some other linux based firewall [01:01] Ill be back later, pce people =) [01:01] help [01:01] dork_paste reincarnated [01:01] panfist: In my opinion that would be overkill if all you were doing was ssh [01:01] what do you need help with mod34 ? [01:02] DIL: exactly [01:02] panfist: I would say install shorewall [01:02] i need help! [01:02] cdavis well it's a start. i'm learning. [01:02] lingame22: We'll advise you on how to avoid your girlfriend finding out about your secrfet porn life, etc. But please try not to stir up trouble on purpose here for no reason. Good way to get booted. [01:02] can't get a mod to stop loading at startup! [01:02] cdavis ssh i figure is a good place to start beause you can tunnel a lot of things through ssh [01:02] which mod isn't loading whenever you start up? [01:02] genii, do you know what water boarding is? [01:02] panfist: yes you can. [01:02] no it IS [01:02] and i want it to stop [01:02] I wish lingame22 would just cuss so he'll get kicked. [01:02] it's for my tuner card [01:02] mrwes: Water boarding is a torture method. === caty is now known as caty_film [01:03] genii, only according to Obama [01:03] :) [01:03] !ohmy [01:03] Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures.

[01:03] ubuntu should be executred for waterboarding [01:03] I can't kick anyone? [01:04] For some strange reason, every time I boot up 9.04 on my laptop, it automatically resorts to all out-of-box defaults. Default wallpaper, default windows borders, etc. The only things that I change that stay put after a reboot are the panels. Even my browser can't remember any passwords or anything after a restart. This has been happening ever since I created another user and switched user to this one that's messing up like this. [01:04] mib_lait26fi: try a diffent usb port on the pc? [01:04] I think that people shouldn't get one #ubuntu, snort coke, and try and answer people's questions, that just seems like a really really easy way to get trolled [01:04] Unless coke makes answering mundane questions about ubuntu easier [01:04] * lingame22 inhales deeply [01:04] can anybody help me mounting these stupid isos? [01:04] VDaemon can do that on Windows! [01:04] !iso [01:04] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [01:04] lingame22, watch your language. [01:05] somebody?? [01:05] I tried snorting coke but the fizz kept coming back out my nose ;-) [01:05] voss: lol [01:05] (It's worth a try) [01:05] Soda2: mount command, or theres fuseiso, or some other command that can make it easier also [01:05] Dr_Willis, or install gisomount [01:05] Oh no. [01:05] mrwes: thats a front end to fuseiso i think :) [01:05] lingame22 If you want to discuss other things than your immediate #ubuntu support questions please travel to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:06] well, my nautilus does "mount" ISOs itself through gvfs :) [01:06] !info gisomount [01:06] gisomount (source: gisomount): A utility for mounting and managing .iso images.

[01:07] lingame22: So long as they meet code of conduct and channel rules. Which you are continuously verging on and will eventualy just get you kicked off [01:07] How do I stop Rhythmbox from using over 20% of my CPU? [01:07] Why is Ubuntu 9.04 incapable of preserving changes to out-of-box system settings defaults after a restart? This is only happening on my laptop, not Ubuntu in general. [01:07] mrwes: nautilus scripts are like a 'dark secret' that gnome people want to keep hidden. :) [01:07] bwhahaha.... [01:08] wait- am i verging on the code of conduct, or the channel rules? [01:08] lingame22: Both [01:08] Would someone please kick lingame22? There is no reason whatsoever to keep him on. [01:08] does anybody know of a way to move or stretch video in ubuntu? Either 8.04 or 9.10? [01:08] 2nd [01:08] lingame22: Visit the links in the channel topic to find out what is acceptable here [01:08] gluonman: i would start with a fsck of the filesytemm and checn dmesg output.. copuld be somthing is getting mounted read only.

[01:08] xcdfgkjhgcv: Soon, I'm sure [01:08] thanx [01:08] georgep: apt-get remove [name] [01:09] you can also add --purge if you want to delete its configuration files, too [01:09] with MP3 ID tags using Audio Tag Tool in Ubuntu, what's the difference between ID3 v1 and ID3 v2? === negerboll is now known as Nord === Nord is now known as Nord_ [01:10] MighMoS: of course georgep will read the man page carefully now, because he doesn't wnat to run commands he doesn't know ;-) [01:10] Roasted: the version [01:10] xcdfgkjhgcv: Google "rhythmbox hog cpu" [01:10] Dr_Willis, does that happen after you switch users? [01:10] I have 2 NICs and 2 IPs (eth0=10.0.x.x & wlan0=192.168.x.x). Is it possible to specify that firefox uses eth0 and another application uses wlan0? [01:10] I've google searched and apparently Jaunty was blocked for a while, but I still can't upgrade. Anything I should check or do? [01:10] muellisoft - I'm just trying to get my music library kind of universal with how its organized and Ive been delting version 2. I wasnt sure if that was a stupid thing for me to do or not. [01:10] mac94161: I've been doing that but all I see is 100% and 99% CPU problems. [01:10] marksman: depends on the application. Most apps take --interface or -I to specify the interface to run on. [01:11] gluonman: so if you go back to the first user it does save changes? Try adding a 3rd user and see if it affectgs them.. It could be permission issues on the users home dirs. [01:11] I don't understand this linux crap at all. this must be how idiots feel when they sit at a computer. I have no idea what I'm doing or how I'm supposed to do it [01:11] xcdfgkjhgcv: Well, I saw a 10% issue, but no one had an answer. [01:11] muellisoft: awesome will look into that thanks! [01:11] Roasted: id3v2 is quite old so everything knows how to deal with it. So go with it :) [01:11] Soda2: Everyone was new at it once. Have heart [01:11] Soda2: 'crawl, walk, run' :) [01:11] muellisoft - Ive been deleting v2 though... and keeping v1.... ha?? [01:11] mac94161: I'm using an Intel Atom CPU but I don't think Rhythmbox should be using as much as 20% of it. [01:11] hello [01:12] marksman: but I highly suspect that you can make firefox make connectinos from a specified device ;-) But if you have luck, tell me :) [01:12] Dr_Willis, I have 4 users. All users have full permissions. I switched from one user to the other one, and the one I switched into restored system settings defaults and can't seem to keep any changes since. [01:12] can i make cpanel on ubuntu 8.04 using console ? [01:12] Roasted: if you're fine with id3v1, then go with it :) It's not that flexible though. but you know that of course. [01:12] ok can anyone help im using a nivida geforce 6200 on ubuntu 9.04 and the damn drivers want activate only one driver at a time will [01:12] Soda2: When you get something new, a good thing is to read the user manual for it. Same sort of princile applies. Also you have here to ask questions for which you can find no immediate answer [01:12] xcdfgkjhgcv: Well, that's not very powerful... Have you tried updating? [01:12] gluonman: so this affects one user only? not the other 3? [01:12] Dr_Willis, every time a restart will cause it to go back to it's out-of-box look, except for the panels. [01:12] Soda2: in addition try http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-mount-iso-image-under-linux.html [01:12] gluonman: Its probably not the problem, but maybe check if you have session saving enabled and disable it? [01:12] Dr_Willis, so far, it's affected 2 of my users. [01:13] mac94161: Intel Atom is more powerful than most CPUs made in the last 30 years. [01:13] powertool08, I was thinking that too, but it's not the problem. [01:13] mac94161: I'm using the latest version of Ubunty. [01:13] s/Ubunty/Ubuntu/ [01:13] Is there any way to force Banshee to not use the ID tags for music? I just want it to sort by band names... I have like 13 folders of "Candlebox" cause when I got the music, some of the tags for the music were - Candlebox, Canndlebox, candlebox, candleboxx, etc... so I have all of those folders in Banshee created and I haaaaaate it. [01:13] xcdfgkjhgcv: Oh, my. I thought it was a laptop CPU? I'm behind the curb... [01:14] mac94161: It's a "Netbook" CPU. [01:14] xcdfgkjhgcv: I mean have you updated the rhythmbox package? [01:14] mac94161: But it's reasonably powerful. [01:14] I find my netbook to be quite speedy with its atom cpu :) [01:14] mac94161: I'm using the latest Rhythmbox version in Jaunty. [01:14] How do I work around update-manager and do-release upgrade telling me "No new release found"? [01:14] marksman: You can have only one default gateway. So not really possible to specify interface in Firefox since it uses whatever networking set up as the gateway, and has no specific facility to speficy what adater or so on to use [01:14] mac94161: I've apt-get updated and upgraded today. [01:14] (Running Intrepid 64-bit server) [01:14] Dr_Willis: It should be. [01:15] Dr_Willis, there have been a couple times that I booted and the gdesklets I had placed on my desktop a previous session (not necessarily the immediately previous session) came up. [01:15] xcdfgkjhgcv: Drat, that doesn't leave much to go on. You've of course checked to see if that's the only program taking CPU? [01:15] Dr_Willis, and if I go to the startup applications, whatever new applications I enter there are still there. [01:15] how to config php using ssh ? [01:15] mac94161: No. [01:15] mac94161: What do you mean? [01:15] AdiePutera: what?! [01:16] i need help [01:16] mac94161: Rhythmbox is the biggest CPU hog on my system by far. === yacc_ is now known as yacc [01:16] AdiePutera: then please help us helping you. please elaborate on your problem. [01:16] i cant setup webserver using ssh [01:16] xcdfgkjhgcv: Well, I've had a "trackerd" program taking up half my CPU and I had no idea why. Did you look in system monitor to make sure that's the hogging process? [01:16] Is it possible to split a .flac and a .ape into ``tracks'' if I have the .cue file associated with each? [01:16] how do I enable the exposé effect in compiz? [01:16] ryanakca: yes [01:16] genii: but I am able to access both internal pages in the routers, so that would mean that it is properly identifying which device to use based on ip [01:16] AdiePutera: I don't understand your problem. What do you want to achieve? [01:17] mac94161: Yes. [01:17] Mion: What should I google for? [01:17] mac94161: Of course. [01:17] muellisoft : i want create webserver [01:17] mac94161: CPU time is off the chart. [01:17] xcdfgkjhgcv: Drat. [01:17] AdiePutera: then do it! [01:17] ryanakca: look at the doom9 forum [01:17] mac94161: gnome-system-monitor is equally CPU intensive though. [01:17] s/look/search/ [01:17] marksman: You could try some tactic like specifying a proxy to firefox on port 80 of the gateway which is the specific adapter you want to use [01:17] muellisoft : everytime im try to make it.. its show nothing [01:17] ok, I guess I'm gonna have to install each of the upgrades manually [01:17] expose is super+e last time i checked [01:18] mac94161: s/equally/half\ as/ [01:18] xcdfgkjhgcv: True. But you can look at the individual process's CPU usage. [01:18] AdiePutera: it's a pain to help you :( Can you please be precise and clear about a) what you've done, b) what happend and c) what you've expected instead. [01:18] hi. is there anyone who how to work with iptables i need help and have some questions. [01:18] genii: The goal is equally two parts: maintain all web traffic on wired, and only allow torrent traffic on wireless [01:18] mac94161: Of course, that's what I'm doing. [01:19] I was just wondering is it a common problem that the NVIDIA GLX and official NVIDIA drivers both cause system lock ups and other such problems? Ive never had any luck as far as reliability with either on my last 2 PCs.Is this common? Im about to just ditch the drivers and compiz altogether just do i have a reliable system. [01:19] jon_high9000: there probably is ;-) how 'bout just asking your question? :) [01:19] jon_high9000: many of us will try to help. [01:19] muellisoft : i just bought the vps yesterday and install ubuntu 8.04 LTS [01:19] xcdfgkjhgcv: Yeah, I figured you were. It's got me stumped. [01:19] how can i make webserver go online [01:19] Hi. My grub is screwed up. I'd like to boot off the Ubuntu live CD to fix this. (It's the only bootable linux CD I have.) Then what do I do? I tried mounting the filesystems on the hard drive and using chroot then running update-grub. Was that what I was supposed to try? [01:19] im trying to follow step by step.. but its fail [01:20] AdiePutera: I urge you to read the documentation. [01:20] mac94161: I'm going to disable the crossfading engine and see if it helps at all. [01:20] marksman: Hm No easy way I can think of for that, sorry [01:20] Sebboh: sounds good [01:20] Sebboh: you have to chroot to your mounted partititon before running update-grub [01:20] AdiePutera: what do you mean "Go Online"? You can start apache by typing /etc/init.d/apache2 start [01:20] is there a faster way to learn how to work with iptables? i am a newbie. [01:20] muellisoft : can i paste the error code in here ? [01:20] xcdfgkjhgcv: Oh, yeah, I once had that on and it kept locking up. Probably buggy. [01:20] Dr_Willis, any ideas? I'm sure it's my fault because I sometimes use that laptop to try out a bunch of experimental software. And if the fix for all of its problems is just too much complicated work, I'll end up re-installing. But I'm still curious to know what's causing the problem. [01:20] Sebboh: mount /dev/HARDDRIVE /mnt; chroot /mnt; update-grub [01:20] MarkJones: ive no issues with the nvidia drivers on my 3 nvidia systems.. a lot just depends on the chipset i think [01:20] AdiePutera: better use pastebin.ca or smth like that [01:20] AdiePutera: if it is one line [01:20] Can anyone tell me how to see who is actively connected to my machine through SSH? In addition, is there any software to show it in a consistent fashion? I don't want to issue a command everytime I want to see if someone is connected. [01:21] Dr_Willis: hmm ok [01:21] gluonman: hard to tell. other then user permissions on the home dir. i cant think of anything. [01:21] TX-Dan: use "w" [01:21] TX-Dan, w [01:21] mac94161: No difference. [01:21] marksman: You may want to ask in #ubuntu-server , they have some knowledgable networking fellows in there. Don't get discouraged if they scoff at you for running a desktop environment ;) [01:21] MighMoS: Sebboh told us, that he'd chrooted his system :) [01:21] its show like this apache2: Syntax error on line 185 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: undefined symbol: gzopen64 [01:21] mac94161: Actually, it's using slightly less CPU I think. [01:21] xcdfgkjhgcv: Gee, that stinks. IDK. [01:21] TX-Dan: You could so something like "watch 'ps auxf|grep ssh'" [01:21] mac94161: 17-18% CPU [01:21] xcdfgkjhgcv: That's good. [01:22] Maybe ill revert back to the LTS release and see if its more stable there. [01:22] TX-Dan, or tail -f /var/log/auth.log [01:22] im totally new [01:22] mightymos, that's what I did, hold on lemme do the same again and type up the error message I get in a pastebin. muellisoft, yep. one sec. [01:22] xcdfgkjhgcv: :-P [01:22] genii: I appreciate all your help [01:22] powertool08, "w" ? [01:22] mac94161: 13% [01:22] Sebboh: Sorry about that. [01:22] xcdfgkjhgcv: Going down... [01:22] TX-Dan, yah...just 'w' [01:22] Dr_Willis, alright. Well, thank you anyway. I'm just going to re-install. [01:22] xcdfgkjhgcv: Maybe restart it? [01:22] mac94161: It's fluctuating between 13% and 18% [01:22] Hi guys, I'm having a problem with mplayer, I'm getting this error: mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libartsc.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [01:22] mac94161: I did. [01:22] Sebboh: It'd also be nice to know how grub is screwed up [01:22] TX-Dan: its a command to give you info on logged in users [01:22] marksman: No problem. If you find a suitable solution, return to tell us, will assist others who read IRC logs :) [01:22] TX-Dan, from ther terminal type just w [01:22] (Even if its just "Error 17" or w/e) [01:22] where can I find libartsc.so ? [01:22] xcdfgkjhgcv: Hmmm. Any other plugins on? [01:22] MighMoS, as [01:22] TX-Dan: Sorry, didn't read you whole comment about not wanting to type a command everytime until after I sent it [01:23] mac94161: Yeah that's my next though. [01:23] s/though/thought/ [01:23] AdiePutera: sounds weird. *shrug* zilb seems to be missing for whatever reason. did you install packages through apt-get or have you manually installed php modules? [01:23] mrwes, right, I've got that. However, is there any way to see new connections as they are made, rather than checking "w" on a whim to see if anyone is connected? [01:23] MighMoS, as I said, I'm trying it again so that I can record the error and tell you about it. [01:23] but when my ubuntu trn on is sowing me something GNOME-PILOT SETINGS wat is thet for? [01:23] <|_Mikey_|> where can you get compiling programs for Ubunty 8.10? [01:23] TX-Dan: you could do watch w [01:24] muellisoft : try apt-get and try manually install [01:24] TX-Dan, hrmm...maybe incron that monitors changes to the /var/log/auth.log [01:24] Sebboh: Maybe you must have /proc/, /dev/ and stuff mounted into your chroot. [01:24] the 'watch' command is real real handy [01:24] hrmm...watch is kewl [01:24] <|_Mikey_|> Dr Willis [01:24] cdavis so watch w would continually check "w" and update?\ [01:24] hi [01:24] <|_Mikey_|> where do you get compiling programs [01:24] mac94161: Disabling all the plugins makes no difference. [01:25] what is the name of ffmpeg-dev package? [01:25] Hey, ya'll, I can't find the linux-kernel-devel pack. Do I have the wrong name? [01:25] mac94161: None at all. [01:25] |_Mikey_|: what do you want to achieve? [01:25] |_Mikey_|: huh? install build-essential for the 'core' developer tools. [01:25] TX-Dan: yes, watch runs the command every 2 seconds by default [01:25] xcdfgkjhgcv: Drat. [01:25] anyway im using terminal [01:25] cdavis, very cool, thanks mate [01:25] ffmpeg ? [01:25] uhm [01:25] TX-Dan: No problem [01:25] watch 'df -h' [01:25] :) [01:25] mac94161: you can search for packages with apt-cache search [01:25] |_Mikey_|: Compiling programs like the compiler itself, or source code to compile? [01:26] the system miss ffmpeg includes, where are? [01:26] <|_Mikey_|> genii: compiler itself [01:26] xcdfgkjhgcv: Um, reboot, just for good measure? [01:26] mac94161: you can search for specific files with apt-file [01:26] |_Mikey_|: Compiler itself will be installed if you install package build-essential [01:26] mac94161: What good would that do? [01:26] <|_Mikey_|> how do you install it? [01:26] mac94161: Are you a Windoze user? [01:26] |_Mikey_|: I install my packages through apt-get. You might want to try synaptic [01:27] I'm running Intrepid, why does do-release-upgrade tell me "No new release found"? [01:27] Dr_Willis, couldn't he use incrontab to monitor the /var/log/auth.log for modifications and say then mail root@localhost ? [01:27] is there an alternative for windows live messenger with cam support? (exept for amsn > doesn't seem to work) [01:27] xcdfgkjhgcv: I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'm on one right now. I have to use it for my net browsing. My Ubuntu boxes are at home. [01:27] mrwes: this is linux.. thers proberly a dozen X 3 ways to do it. :) [01:27] Dr_Willis, that's it? [01:27] heh [01:27] mac94161: I'm not going to reboot this machine. [01:27] MaT-dg: well, there is ekiga, but it's not that good :( Soon, Jabber Clients will have Cam functionality.. [01:27] MaT-dg, pidgin/kopete? [01:27] I had to reinstall Ubuntu today, but the nvidia driver isn't showing up in restricted drivers- I've installed Ubuntu twice before on this computer and never had a problem [01:27] xcdfgkjhgcv: I don't blame you. :-) [01:28] ou [01:28] cam [01:28] mac94161: on on xp until i get my 9.04 cd [01:28] MaT-dg: You mean like skype with a camera? That should be doable under jaunty [01:28] xcdfgkjhgcv: Not even for kernel upgrades? [01:28] mac94161: Pidgin and Xorg are also big CPU hogs. >< [01:28] thiebaude: I wish that were encouraging. :-) [01:28] thiebaude, get? [01:28] powertool08: What I meant was that I'm not going to reboot it right now. [01:28] New question! You guys are awesome. =) -- If I'm logged into my SSH server remotely... as an admin, what would the syntax be to suspend another user, or reactivate another user? [01:29] Sarai: I had that same problem. I had to do one round of apt-get update && apt-get upgrade before the restricted drivers showed up [01:29] muellisoft: ZhuchoG: cdavis: a program to connect to the msn-protocol with webcam support [01:29] TX-Dan, you could add their IP to the /etc/hosts.deny [01:29] cdavis: okay, I'll try that. My broadcom driver showed up automatically, though [01:29] TX-Dan: what does "suspend" mean? You mean deactivating her account so that she can't login anymore? [01:29] mac94161: CPU cycles are important to me on this machine. [01:29] |_Mikey_|: Missed your Q on "how to install it"til just now, did not have my name in the msg. To install from Terminal: sudo ap-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential [01:29] MaT-dg: dunno. MSN is evil. Don't use it. [01:29] MSN is beyond evil :) [01:29] |_Mikey_|: I had a typo. change "ap-" to "apt-" [01:30] xcdfgkjhgcv: Yeah, but if the owner catches me installing Ubuntu on his machine... :-D [01:30] Dr_Willis: true [01:30] muellisoft: don't get me wrong, i HATE it. I have no other choice though since al the people I know only use msn and refuse to use something better [01:30] mrwes, the problem is that I'm logged into the SSH on an iphone app...so I can't run software, only through the app, so command line only [01:30] Dr_Willis, CNN is EVIL [01:30] muellisoft, yes, temporarily not allow them access, but i need to be able to do it from a command line [01:31] TX-Dan, echo IP > /etc/hosts.deny [01:31] MaT-dg: if you make them use google-talk, they'll use Jabber automatically :) [01:31] muellisoft: they simply refuse because their friends only use MSN, it's a never ending chain [01:31] what console-based games are there? [01:31] TX-Dan: well, a hacky solutiuon would be to edit /etc/passwd to make the shell point to /bin/false. But I feel there are better solution. Look at useradd(1) [01:31] <|_Mikey_|> genni: [01:32] <|_Mikey_|> genii: [01:32] <|_Mikey_|> how do i compile with it [01:32] !compile | |_Mikey_| [01:32] |_Mikey_|: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [01:32] <|_Mikey_|> i mean with the source* [01:32] mrwes, but that basically bans the IP not the user correct? . [01:32] hm, back on Knoppix. [01:32] gartral_: happypenguin.org is a good place to search for linux games [01:32] MaT-dg: well, the good thing about that is, that jabber has MSN Transports which do the MSN ugly thing for you :) So you can start using jabber and still evangelize your firends. [01:32] TX-Dan: you can lock the account with 'passwd -l USER' and unlock it again with 'passwd -u USER' [01:33] I prefer google news...why trust one source when you can read all of them! [01:33] cdavis: in terminal over ssh [01:33] jtaji, ahh nice! thanks mate! [01:33] |_Mikey_|: The bot's link will get you started. This channel is not the place to discuss at length the intricacies of compiling, etc [01:33] gartral_: lynx to search? [01:33] <|_Mikey_|> bots link? [01:33] quit [01:33] quit/quit [01:33] |_Mikey_|: EG: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [01:33] hehe [01:33] muellisoft: I used transport before but it messes me gmail contacts and makes the webcam problem even harder ;) [01:34] does anyone know why the pid stored in a pid file would consistently be two less than the actual pid of the daemon? (the daemon is being started by start-stop-daemon) If I had to guess I'd say the pid is from the bash instance that starts start-stop-daemon, rather than the instance of the daemon itself. Can anyone confirm this? [01:34] MaT-dg: i can believe that :( It's a pity actually. So go and work on making IM on Linux smoother! :) [01:34] Ademan: Interesting issue, did you search bug reports in LaunchPad yet for it? [01:35] genii: nope, not yet, I suppose that'd be a good first step [01:35] hm jtaji. It doesn't seem to work with ssh publickeys. i.e. I lock an account with passwd -l but I can still SSH into it using publickey auth [01:35] i need help with ubuntu server guide [01:35] can someone help me with that ? [01:35] Ademan: If it's a known issue, likely there will be explanations in detail of why it hapens, etc etc [01:35] jtaji: since the only thing it does is to scramble to password [01:36] AdiePutera: Server support in #ubuntu-server please [01:36] AdiePutera: again: Please help us help you. Please formulate a problem you want to solve. And stop sending a couple of lines in a row, it makes you hard to follow. [01:36] ty geirha [01:36] genii [01:36] anyone, when i install my 9.04 should i go for ext4 instead of ext3? [01:36] AdiePutera: np [01:36] muellisoft: makes sense public key would still work fine, notice what --lock does [01:36] thiebaude: Why not? I hear its faster. newer is usually better right? ;) [01:36] cast: what do you mean with --lock? [01:37] powertool08: yea, i heard its fast [01:37] thiebaude: yes, it boots way faster [01:37] xp, doesn't have much longer on this pc [01:37] muellisoft: what is passwd -l? [01:37] thiebaude: I also heard it was basically reiserfs renamed, except it doesn't kill your wife. [01:37] haha [01:37] cast: it is supposed to lock an unix account so that you can't log in anymore. [01:38] -l This option is used to lock the specified account and it is available to root only. The locking is performed by rendering the encrypted password into an invalid string (by prefixing the encrypted string with an !). [01:38] how can i close ports 445 and 139? [01:38] muellisoft: --lock is the long option of -l. [01:38] cast: not on my fedora machine. [01:38] powertool08: i used 9.04 before, but it was an upgrade from 8.10, this time i'll go for the fresh install [01:39] syntax\: Get a firewall or disable netbios? whatever it is that runs on those ports. [01:39] might be an ubuntu-patch-not-given-upstream though [01:39] on ubuntu --lock = -l [01:39] thiebaude: I always upgrade with a fresh install and keep /home on its own partition to save my settings [01:39] powertool08: ok thanks. [01:39] muellisoft: good thing i dont care about your fedora machine :) [01:40] <|_Mikey_|> alright thanks genii, I'll talk to you later [01:40] powertool08: how much memory do you keep for Home? [01:40] allocate [01:40] thiebaude: Do you mean how big is my swap? [01:40] I'm having trouble with my volume. I believe I've set everything at max level, but the volume is still much too low :( [01:41] thiebaude: Or how much hardrive space for home? [01:41] powertool08: actually how big will your Home dir be [01:41] thiebaude: My /home is 50 gb [01:41] kewl, i have 160gb drive [01:41] thiebaude: currently 77% used [01:42] wow [01:42] powertool08: i have never used more than 4gb [01:42] thiebaude: I have 200 gb across two drives, /home is full right now because I download my torrents there, then move them to my external when I sort them [01:43] powertool08: oh [01:44] helllo [01:44] another thing, how can i add the computer/home shortcut to my desktop(noobish question..) [01:45] hello everyone:) [01:45] syntax\: gconf-editor> apps> nautilus> desktop [01:45] syntax\: theres a setting in the gconf-editor to enable that i recall.. there might also be a ubuntu-tweak tool (unsuported here) that can do it [01:45] hello tnt996 [01:45] how do i get a ps3eye to work with ubuntu? [01:45] jaunty [01:46] Can anyone help me with my ncmpc error "problems creating socket"? === jeagle is now known as n8tuserf [01:48] hello can someone please tell me how to put mp3 and aac files to run in amarok 2 ??

Any thoughts as to the problem? [01:49] lozada-sama_: what desktop are you using ¿¿ [01:50] yes.. golden week [01:50] שלום [01:50] jaunty [01:50] !il | xunil [01:50] xunil: לשיחות בשפה העברית ולגישה לקהילת המשתמשים העברית אנא הקלד: [01:50] /join #ubuntu-il [01:50] !jp | DeltaS4 [01:50] DeltaS4: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [01:50] lozada-sama what DESKTOP are you using ¿ [01:50] iam using jaunty === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw [01:51] === arooni-mobile___ is now known as arooni-mobile [01:51] sorry iam brasilian and dont know much [01:51] jaunty.. [01:51] i repeat again and last time, lozada-sama_ what desktop are you using ¿¿ [01:51] うあっぱり日本語の#UBUNTU [01:51] i need to upgrade to janunty [01:52] i'm still 8.04 [01:52] lozada-sama: youre brazilian [01:52] hey all, does anyone know the status of broadcom 4318 wireless cards in jaunty? do i have to do the ndiswrapper thing? [01:52] is there a portuguese chanel for lozada-sama ¿ [01:52] dont you learn english at schoool? [01:52] the b43-fwcutter doesn't work for me [01:52] iam sorry [01:52] !br | lozada-sama_ [01:52] lozada-sama_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [01:52] dont understand mitch [01:52] ooohhh [01:53] much* [01:53] I understand "linux-kernel-devel" is a "dummy package". How do I install such an unfortunate package? :-) [01:53] seems like jaunty and intel graphics cards dont take well together........... shold i just wait for next release? (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_9.04_(Jaunty_Jackalope)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61) [01:54] mac94161: In the same way you install anything else, apt-get install .. it will just link to the latest kernel-devel [01:54] anyway how do i put mp3 to work on amarok2? also jaunty gnome [01:54] mac94161: if your kernel isnt the latest one, dont use that.. find your version [01:54] wait wait iam sorry [01:54] arooni-mobile: the intel issue has been fixed, but you have to activate the jaunty proposed and backport updates [01:55] my desktop is gnomw [01:55] *gnome [01:55] xangua, why? [01:55] lozada-sama_ then you need to install xine [01:55] mattgirv, thanks. I'm compiling a custom kernel and I apparently need the pack. I am using an offline debian fetcher to get the package, so apt-get install is not an option. :-( [01:55] arooni-mobile: because the fix is in jaunty proposed and backport updates ................................................ [01:55] ah ok :) [01:55] xine ? what does it do ? [01:56] xangua: What's the fix called? [01:56] xangua, will it make it into the main line updates? [01:56] lozada sama did you understand [01:56] if you haven't updated it, that package will be on your install cd too [01:56] xcdfgkjhgcv arooni-mobile is just an update of xorg intel [01:56] !xine [01:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about xine [01:56] i guess deltass4 [01:56] xine is a lightweight media player [01:56] arooni-mobile: I found that enabling the greedy option in xorg.conf helped for me. [01:56] shine [01:56] mattgirv, could you check to see what "linux-kernel-devel" links to? I'm on a Windoze machine... [01:56] it can be operated via command line [01:56] mac94161: uname -r and check your kernel version [01:56] or with a GUI [01:56] windows is the best isnt it? [01:56] xangua: Thanks. I'll take a look. [01:56] mac94161: one sec [01:57] anyone here use UNR? [01:57] mattgirv: Oh, I'm on 8.10. [01:57] mattgirv, don't know if that matters. [01:57] oh ... but a friend recommended me amarok cause it organizes music very well even better then itunes [01:57] isnt there a way you could go around ?? [01:57] lozada-sama_: its a resource hog in my opinion [01:58] powertool08: yea it does [01:58] oh [01:58] mac94161: Yeah it'll make a difference. 9.04 we're at now, You are best off running uname -r .. finding out which version you are running from that and download the linux-headers-VERSION [01:58] itunes if installed with quicktime is like 100mb isnt it? [01:58] it sucks on windows [01:58] lozada-sama_: I prefer mpd+ncmpc, except when my ncmpc is broken, like it is now :( [01:59] xcdfgkjhgcv arooni-mobile i should say i really don't know is a fix but since 2 days ago i havent have any issues [01:59] mattgirv, Oh, OK, got it. Thanks so much! [01:59] xangua: Hmmm are you sure this update is going to improve performance? [01:59] mac94161: Also get linux-source-VERSION :) of course [01:59] tought [01:59] xangua: It's still 2.6. [01:59] DeltaS4: yea, something like that [01:59] mattgirv, OK, will do. [01:59] xangua, you have a t61? [01:59] xcdfgkjhgcv: yes, i haven had any problems, for example my screen use to freeze 2 or 3 times a day but now that hasn't happend [02:00] arooni-mobile: i hace an intel video cadr integrated in an acer aspire [02:00] is it X3100 [02:00] xangua: Stability is fine for me, it's performance that I need. [02:00] xangua: I have an Intel GMA950 [02:00] xcdfgkjhgcv: performance is also good, way too far from the 2.4 versión of xorg (intrepid ibex) [02:01] iwant stability [02:01] is jaunty awesome [02:01] how is it better than ibex [02:01] especially for those with laptops [02:01] and sorry for my bad english if i missed something, normaly i don't write a lot in a very short time [02:02] arooni-mobile: for me 9.04 is faster and uses less resources [02:02] xangua: Call me sceptical, but I doubt that upgrading xserver-xorg-video-intel from version 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9 to version 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9.1 is going to improve things much. [02:02] thats good [02:02] i tried 9.04 on my laptop and it actually ran a lot slower [02:02] oh noes [02:02] anyone notice if 9.04 has support for atheros, or do ya still need madwifi? [02:02] so i went back to 8.04 (8.10 never could install properly) [02:02] xcdfgkjhgcv: you can try and if it dosn't do anything to you you can always downgrade [02:02] still need madwifi [02:03] argh [02:03] ya [02:03] never could get it to work [02:03] but for me it works [02:03] cool [02:03] i cant wait till madwifi updates for the newer mimo cards :D [02:03] hey every1, does anyone know about the option to install linux "side-by-side" onto a Windows partition? [02:03] mattgirv, I can't fin any kernel-devels. What's that name of the package that your 9.04 machine links it to? [02:03] well ? doesnt anyone know how to put amarok 2 playing mp3 and aac? [02:04] i think its called a frugal install..... but i am not 100% on that [02:04] Flannel: Can you tell me again the website for resetting password on startup [02:04] lozada-sama_ install xine ........... [02:04] well i am gonna try to get the wirless goin again. the only time i was able to get ubuntu to work on my laptop was when i ran wubi. [02:04] or rhythmbox [02:04] somebody here who could tell me what I'm doing wrong with this script.sh?: http://www.partimage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=2158#2158 [02:04] lozada-sama: install xine are you deaf [02:04] whats deaf? [02:04] lozada-sama_ try installing the GStreamer plugins [02:05] i tried to find those but i couldnt [02:05] i search on universal [02:05] i modified my theme (icons), how come the application logo won't change right away? do i have to restart x? [02:05] KnoppixNoob: Yeah... I don't think unzip supports multiple files [02:05] does anyone know the ubuntu password changing page for when you are locked out [02:05] lozada-sama_ install libzine thru synaptic [02:05] libxine * [02:05] try looking throught the synaptic package manager [02:05] lozada-sama_: try this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:05] hi, all === __guest is now known as bitfish [02:06] hi lee [02:06] powertool08: amarok 2 uses libxine, not gstreamer [02:06] mattgirv: http://www.partimage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1931#1931 I got it from there. [02:06] When I compile a program from source, it typically places files all over my directories (from my POV). What is the easiest way to remove one of these programs once it's files spread across multiple directories? [02:06] should work... [02:06] xangua: Ok, didn't know that, I don't use it. [02:06] ah.. i know rhythmbox uses the gstreamer. It is waht i use when im not listening to pandora radio [02:07] i already search in google and in forums [02:07] powertool08: he could configure amarok to use gstreamer but he will need to install ALL kde desktop just to do that [02:07] the irc is my last resource [02:07] this might sound like a nooby question, but im bored, and i wanna know where i can get awsum wallpapers [02:07] stuff with weird plasma-y effects [02:07] and glowy crap [02:07] y'know [02:07] leeguy92: google images [02:07] leeguy92: David Lanham - http://dlanham.com/ [02:07] their images are awesome [02:07] Can anyone tell me what linux-kernel-devel package links to?

[03:00] tkt: not this one [03:00] tkt: #ubuntu-offtopic [03:00] can someone tell me what are the dependencies for metagoofill please ? [03:00] tkt: depents on the topic. [03:00] Is the dell insperon mini 9 a good Ubuntu platform? [03:00] depends [03:00] jp_sf: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-exchange/+bug/209438 [03:00] yea its only released to certain groups but may 5th definitely going to try this out [03:01] #metalica [03:01] Chaorain: yes! there's a website specifically devoted to using it as such [03:01] xunil: see my post about that was for u [03:01] M25, thats why i was asking, thanks for your fucking help [03:01] Chaorain, yes but the asus eeepc and msiwind are supposedly better [03:01] ag0x: why not go into synaptic and click on it. It will give you alist i believe [03:01] LadyNikon, thank you [03:01] Chaorain: It should be - I think Ubuntu comes preinstalled on the Mini 9 [03:01] ghindo, thank you [03:01] xunil: anyway kde finished reinstalling I'm going to try to login into a session see if it works. Thanks for your help!!! [03:01] Can anybody help me get GRUB to recognize more than one OS please? [03:01] Chaorain, I would try the netbook remix it's pretty sweet on a 9" screen [03:01] there is a program to make a dock bar like in Mac OSX but I forget the name of it... can somebody throw a couple name out for me? [03:01] mleger: hope it works! [03:02] azlon: awn [03:02] azlon: check out gdesklets [03:02] can anyone help me to add something to my crontab [03:02] azlon: or cairodock [03:02] srsly crontab shouldn't be that difficult to edit, right? [03:02] azlon: AWN, Gnome-Do... [03:02] mieger: that's it... awn, thanks [03:02] azlon: personally I like awn avant window manager. I think it runs smoother [03:02] azlon AWN is pretty nice [03:02] azlon: Awn here too! [03:02] So, have there been any distro updates to fix the intel graphics problems yet? [03:02] azharcs_: what was the error you were getting? [03:03] Gnome-do ftw, but it's not a dock really, it just happens to be able to look like one [03:03] !awn [03:03] Avant Window Navigator is a dock-like navigation bar for the Linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy [03:03] is it the 3D thing? [03:03] xunil: Error 17: Cannot Mount Selected Partition [03:03] ghindo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:03] I use intel too [03:03] fast user switching (logging as a second user while already logged in as one using the user-switch applet in the panel) causes compiz to be disabled for the second user, is this expected? [03:03] LadyNikon: Thank you! [03:03] Luigi: Try enabling the proposed updates, see if that helps. No guarantee though. [03:03] can someone tell me what are the dependencies for metagoofill on ubuntu please [03:03] ghindo: google is your friend [03:04] azharcs_: did it start that right after you installed? [03:04] ag0x: go into synaptic and try to install it.. it will tell you [03:04] can anyone help me to add something to my crontab [03:04] somatt: no one can help you unless you give them a real question.. like what you want to do with it [03:04] somatt, google can probably help [03:04] khensthoth: Do you mean the proposed workarounds, or some kind of actual fix? [03:04] azharcs_: o, and if you have multiple hard drives... i noticed that they need to be in the same order in your BIOS for them to appear the same on the hdd maps for grub [03:04] xunil: no, no. I had some problems booting after I formatted Windows, so I reinstalled grub and then I am getting this problem [03:04] can anyone tell me if the sound card issue has been resolved for Asus M51 in v9.04 [03:04] tkt i have already searched google for hour and nothing is very helpful [03:05] hi [03:05] somatt: one sec, got a page for ya [03:05] Check my Connky =D http://img58.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotfur.png [03:05] Luigi: workaround I think. [03:05] it doesn t exist on synaptic [03:05] is ext4 now flawless? [03:05] M25 thank you [03:05] kind of off topic - any one know of a PHP/MySQL CRM + HelpDesk/Ticketing system with possibly ERP [03:05] azharcs_: where did u point the partition/kernal to? [03:05] how to put a string in the top of files ?. [03:05] sorry for the non-sequitor question [03:05] xunil: How do i do that in BIOS [03:05] somatt, not even this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [03:05] ladynikon I'm trying to get screen and rtorrent to run as my user at startup. I have tried using crontab -e by adding the line "@reboot /usr/bin/screen /usr/bin/rtorrent" but this had no effect. Do I need to add myself to the /etc/cron.allow file? Am I going in the right direction? Does anyone have any ideas? [03:05] no not that [03:05] ag0x: have you tried http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [03:05] M25, what is the site? [03:06] jeffreyf1: that seems upside down. there are some ERP that happen to have ticketing. [03:06] I don't see any deb files for AWN in 9.04. will a 8.10 deb work just as well? [03:06] azharcs_: depending on your motherboard.. some times its the boot order, and sometimes it is an actuall "hard drive" option [03:06] tkt I've read that and it doesn't help since the questions i'm asking are referencing that page. [03:06] tkt I'm trying to get screen and rtorrent to run as my user at startup. I have tried using crontab -e by adding the line "@reboot /usr/bin/screen /usr/bin/rtorrent" but this had no effect. Do I need to add myself to the /etc/cron.allow file? Am I going in the right direction? Does anyone have any ideas? [03:06] somatt, Chaorain: here's a way to do it with setting an alarm as an example, it helped me: http://www.federicopistono.org/Set_up_an_MP3_OGG_Alarm_Clock_Using_Linux [03:06] Anybody here use snort on a small network? I put a hub between my modem and router but its not seeing any of my lan traffic. [03:06] :) [03:06] xunil : I didn't point it anywhere, I just reinstalled grub and I am getting this error. If you need any conf files let me know. [03:07] Sorry, your search gave no results [03:07] it doesn t exist on [03:07] ag0x: sounds like something your going to have to install yourself [03:07] ive tryed thats why i am asking [03:07] if its not found anywhere. [03:07] azharcs_; you have to tell it where the kernal image is.... eg: kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 [03:07] cfedde: I know. small startup for computer service....want to keep track of my customers, their service tickets (stuff they call me for) as well as keep track of my income....possibly ERP isn't the app, maybe accounting [03:07] m25 thanks that's the most helpful thing I've seen [03:08] ag0x: right but your asking in this channel which is for ubuntu .. maybe try the ubuntu forums if you dont find anyone who knows the package here [03:08] xunil: how do i know it and change the menu.lst [03:08] ag0x: or maybe if that program has an irc channel [03:08] jeffreyf1: I set up before an app called PHProjekt for this, I would recommend it again to anyone. [03:08] thanks for your attention ladynikon [03:08] !laptop [03:08] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [03:08] it would be in the /boot/grub [03:09] but the only way (that i know of) to mount a linux partiion is with another linux system [03:09] what is -rwx------ in numbers? [03:09] azharch_ the other way would be to boot into a repair console off the live disk and edit it that way [03:10] is ext4 still dangerous to use? [03:10] syntax\: 700 [03:10] syntax\, 700 [03:10] thanks,.. [03:10] anyone know about apache server setting up? [03:10] GreatBigBubble, there is documentation out there... use google [03:10] wolter: I would discourage using it. Had several kernel panics. [03:10] xunil: I am already using live disk, what kind of changes should i make now. [03:11] khensthoth, uh ok, thanks/ [03:11] thanks for the laptop links [03:11] but with the prerelease or with the final one? [03:11] Is anybody having troulble upgrading form 8.10 to 9.04? Last night I tried and now my system won't come up. I get a login screen but after that just a arrow and a blank screen. Any ideas on where to go from here? [03:11] wolter: a gun is dangerous a filesystem not sure,, experimental flag has been removed since end of last year [03:11] Would I need to get rid of the integrated GPU to install a new card? The other ones go in through PCI, right? [03:11] Hey is there a way to send a NET-SEND type command to another linux box on the same network without installing software on one of the machines?v [03:11] lhcs, I did that last night on a system and it is fine. [03:11] wolter: hi [03:12] azharch_: i cant remember exactally how to do it from there... but i know theres info online about it... i had to do it a while back when an install went bad [03:12] wolter: yeah, but its a port foward issue i think. when i can see my file tree fine under my local ip, but when i use my static it won't work. i'm quite sure i have my ports foward correctly seeing as i have used apache before on this amchine [03:12] jp_sf, well, it may be experimental no more, but it is still capable of corrupting your files. At least it was a week ago [03:12] this is crazy, there has to be a decent tutorial to tell you how to get madwifi working on ubuntu, so i can use my atheros AR5008X [03:12] wolter:Ubuntu 9.04 final. I reinstalled my system to be ext3 and problem solved. [03:12] hey sebsebseb [03:12] !laptop [03:12] xunil: oh...ok, will check it out. Thanks. [03:12] jeffreyf1: have you looked at openerp for example? [03:12] I upgraded my wifes unit before mine and everything went fine. [03:12] wolter: you were asking about Ext4? [03:12] khensthoth, ah ok, thanks. [03:12] azharch_: hope tht helped [03:12] sebsebseb, yep. [03:12] Luigi, most systems with integrated vide let you turn it off in the BIOS. The card that plugs in will depend on your motherboard. PCI, AGP, or PCI-E [03:12] sebsebseb, what do you know about it? [03:12] wolter: Ext4 is good except for 3 issues [03:13] wolter: I haven't clean installed yet, but yeah it seems Ext4 is all good except for three minor issues mentioned in the 9.04 release notes [03:13] wolter: ext4 is a fork of ext3 to add more feature, performance wise I'm very happy with it [03:13] Which graphics cards are most Ubuntu-friendly? Is there a particular brand whose new cards will usually work well here? [03:13] conky ftw http://img204.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotzgf.png [03:13] Luigi: nvidia [03:13] can anyone help me with this? http://nopaste.com/p/azgvmL2Pm [03:13] anyone know of any applet that will show libnotify messages when new files get created in a folder? [03:13] Luigi: intel perhaps [03:14] trying to install turboprint [03:14] but it wants that [03:14] Luigi: you can just run sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new and your good to go! [03:14] There is no package gtk [03:14] how do you change to ext4? [03:14] Thanks cfedde and genii.... [03:14] Luigi, it is driven by the graphics chip, not the brand. Generally anything that is not too new will work. [03:14] is there anyway i can connect vpn's using gnome's network-manager via command line? [03:14] Luigi: but it should have intel drivers by defaulst as cast suggested [03:14] anybody? [03:15] are nvidia-glx-new closed source? [03:15] cast:Yes. [03:15] I think OpenERP is the ticket. [03:15] vluser: did you try installing it? [03:15] I dont trust ext4 yet. [03:15] xunil, yes [03:15] cast: i believe so.... but they work [03:15] I looked in apt [03:15] xunil: Yes, I'm using Intel here, but I'm about two steps from buying a card: I so badly wish I could be one of the cool kids with their Compiz and their stable computers. [03:15] there is no package gtk [03:15] jp_sf, you have had no problems with it/ [03:15] ? [03:15] then perhaps, if we are to try to create a free operating system, we shouldn't suggest hardware on the assumption that they will use non-free software [03:15] coleys_: nice screenshot [03:15] jeffreyf1: If you just need ticket-only, OTRS2 is an available package in repos [03:16] Thanks =D [03:16] luigi, Nvidia 9 series generally work fine. Im using nvidia 9800 with very few problems. Ive also tried 9400 gt which seems to be okay too [03:16] Luigi, I use Compiz on integrated video. It does not take a very advanced video card. [03:16] the install instructions say to install libgtk1.2 [03:16] so I did, [03:16] but still complains about that [03:16] coleys_: how did you do that? [03:16] wolter, I use it on one machine serving files, it works well I never encounter the zero-lenght file problem everybody is talkking about [03:16] sebsebseb: The Sidebar im assuming? [03:16] Severian: It rarely works with mine. Can you play videos as well? [03:16] coleys_: yeah [03:17] coleys_: it's called conky it's in the repositories. [03:17] If I set up a dual boot win/ubuntu box, is there a way to prevent the win users from infecting the system? [03:17] Luigi, any nvideo from the GeForce 4 Ti4200 and newer is fine. It does not need an expensive card. [03:17] lol... I just quoted to me [03:17] wahah. [03:17] sebsebseb: conky =P [03:17] coleys_: kubuntu logo as part of your gnome theme? [03:17] jeffreyf1: You can see an OTRS demo here: http://otrs.org/demo/ to see if it's what you have in mind [03:17] !info conky [03:17] conky (source: conky): highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.1-0ubuntu4 (jaunty), package size 179 kB, installed size 556 kB [03:17] cast: gnome logo in xubuntu =P [03:17] Luigi, I play videos just fine [03:17] jp_sf, well, I am not willing to take the risk anyway =D [03:18] i've got my jaunty laptop hooked up to an external LCD, the laptop LCD display is not the right size and I can't seem to get it to adjust to the right one [03:18] Ahhh, irssi is failing =p [03:18] I just fixed my computer from kernel panics like a couple of months ago [03:18] sebsebseb: gnome logo in xubuntu. [03:18] What happened to Ubuntbot? [03:18] it was the damn wireless driver.. [03:18] wolter: risk with Ext4? what risk as long as you got your data backed up, like your meant to do anyway [03:18] Luigi, what chipset is on your motherboard. And, what CPU? [03:18] Chaorain, ubottu ? [03:18] vluser: if you are building something manually, try installing the -dev version(s) of the mentioned package(s) [03:18] !hi | Chaorain [03:18] who's having kernel panics? [03:18] Chaorain: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:18] m25 that didn't do it [03:18] The question isnt whether you use closed source drivers or open source drivers, its whether you use closed source drivers with an open source O/S or stick with a closed source O/S because you cant get your video card working on the open source O/S [03:18] yea [03:18] wolter: I'm aware of the fsync delay but never experienced it, never had a spinup hard drive but there are not 5000rpm [03:18] tkt I'm trying to get screen and rtorrent to run as my user at startup. I have tried using crontab -e by adding the line "@reboot /usr/bin/screen /usr/bin/rtorrent" but this had no effect. Do I need to add myself to the /etc/cron.allow file? Am I going in the right direction? Does anyone have any ideas? [03:18] genii: Thanks [03:18] coleys_: oh you themeed xubuntu, not even sure how to do that, haven't used xubuntu that much [03:18] !laptop [03:18] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [03:18] hello [03:19] Severian: G965, and Core 2 Duo @ 1.86 GHz [03:19] sebsebseb: Yeah I prefer lightweight, But I also use emerald + compiz soo... =p [03:19] Both are Intel, of course [03:19] if i upgrade from 8.10 i will lose my files right? [03:19] how disgusting--a soft ball of ear wax just rolled down my ear... [03:19] Help... My Ubuntu 8.10 Bluetooth stopped working.

[03:20] sebsebseb: Yeah, with glass theme [03:20] wolter: it's not a ears channel :d [03:20] I'm trying to get screen and rtorrent to run as my user at startup. I used crontab -e by adding the line "@reboot /usr/bin/screen /usr/bin/rtorrent". As root I've added my username to the /etc/cron.allow. It still will not start up at boot. [03:20] Help... My Ubuntu 8.10 Bluetooth stopped working. [03:20] komejo: Are you reinstalling or just upgrading through the Update Manager? [03:20] I want to have my user directory 700 so it's private from people CDing to it and poking around, but i still want my public_html accessible by www-data [03:20] sebsebseb, well, a bit of a change don't harm nobody [03:20] Should I worry about these gnome-session errors on my daemon.log file? http://paste.ubuntu.com/163928/ [03:20] Luigi, Your system should be plenty fast in video and CPU. Maybe the highest resolutions could be a problem. I stay at 1280 by 1024 or smaller. What resolution are you using for playback? [03:20] i havent doing anything yet but ill try to upgrade from upgrade manager [03:21] but if I make my /home/myUser mhmod 700, then my public_html isn't accessible to www-data [03:21] coleys_: I haven't themed xubuntu before [03:21] *chmod [03:21] Help...

Apache seems to be blocking it, getting not found erros. apache2.conf = http://pastebin.com/m5248f103 [03:21] komejo: If you are just upgrading from the Update Manager, then you shouldn't lose your files. [03:21] I'm trying to get screen and rtorrent to run as my user at startup. I used crontab -e by adding the line "@reboot /usr/bin/screen /usr/bin/rtorrent". As root I've added my username to the /etc/cron.allow. It still will not start up at boot. [03:21] coleys_: now that I seen Xubuntu can look quite a lot nicer than the default Xubuntu, well it's something I might try and do, if I knew how to install themes into it [03:21] coleys_: on Gnome at the moment :) [03:21] sebsebseb: Pretty simple, less gui... but if you know where to put gtk themes and icons and such you'll be good. [03:21] ieatnoobs: agg stop repeating [03:21] somatt: you might need a ";" between both commands i believe [03:21] Severian: Mine is 1440x900 currently [03:21] sebsebseb: If you needed any assistance with that, feel free to ask =) [03:22] I'm using 8.04 btw [03:22] glitsj16, will try and let you know in about 1 minute [03:22] coleys_: sure remind me where to put themes [03:22] sebsebseb: try the #xubuntu channel.

[03:22] ohh ok i just wannted to know if i would have to create a backup [03:22] sebsebseb: ~/.themes ... ~/.icons [03:22] tanku very much [03:22] coleys_: ok [03:22] sebsebseb: Those are the home folder places to put themes, and icons [03:22] Luigi, how come? [03:22] komejo: Well, it's always good to have a backup just in case. [03:22] xanua: Nobody answered lol [03:22] coleys_: yeah I know about home :) [03:22] Need help with a shutdown hanging. Anybody able to take a look at this pastebin for the results of 'pastebin' and 'lspci -vvnn'? [03:22] komejo: /home stores all your Data and configurations.

[03:23] ohh nice i dint know that === coleys_ is now known as coleys [03:23] any 1 sure how to lock down user directories so users can view other users home directory, but peoples public_html will still be accessible to www-data?

[03:29] ieatnoobs: tell me that the day you can run it in screen/tmux, and it gets a better scripting api [03:29] hacim: DMA meaning? [03:29] :p [03:30] Mion, that doesnt seem to help either [03:30] hacim: or ATI: "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" then "aticonfig" or for nvidia "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new nvidia-settings" then "sudo nvidia-settings" [03:30] Does anybody know if I can adjust Banshee to sort the artist name by the filename/folder instead of the ID tag? [03:30] Mion: Lol. Well. For free Ubuntu/Windows IRC client, it's nifty. [03:30] PinguPingu: /msg then [03:30] coleys: any chance of a paste of your conkyrc ? been ages since i looked at conky but your screenshot made me realize i could do with some eye-candy here [03:30] glitsj16: Yeah sure. [03:30] coleys: the drive setting, that you would normally turn on/off with hdparm [03:30] whats ubutu's pastebin? [03:30] !pastebin [03:30] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [03:32] glitsj16: http://paste.ubuntu.com/163933/ enjoy [03:32] coleys: cheers man, appreciated :) [03:32] glitsj16, that didn't work [03:32] coleys: Does conky use a lot of RAM? [03:32] glitsj16: You might have to change the interfaces, if you dont use wireless, or your wireless interface is named differently... if you need a hand feel free to ask. [03:32] khensthoth: Nope [03:32] somatt: quite the experiment to get that @reboot to work it seems [03:33] If I set up a dual boot win/ubuntu box, is there a way to prevent the win users from infecting the system? [03:33] glitsj16, it is listed in the ubuntu documentation, there's no reason it shouldn't work [03:33] glitsj16, it's quite frustrating at this point [03:33] n2diy: well [03:33] coleys: For one like yours, how much RAM is conky using? Thanks. [03:33] coleys: yes i'll use it as a framework and fill in those blanks, lord knows i have plenty of those [03:33] n2diy: If you get an answer, that'd be useful for me too. [03:33] n2diy: they woudn't be able to access Ubuntu's partiton by default anyway [03:33] xunil: looks like this macbook pro has an intel graphics card [03:33] n2diy: you did mean a proper Windows dual boot didn't you? not wubi [03:33] * somatt opens a tall can and lights up a fatty in order to not punch computer :P [03:34] n2diy: partitions :) wubi :( [03:34] n2diy: install a good antivirus and a lot og secure programs [03:34] somatt: yes when i saw you mention the @reboot option i read the man, briefly, was unaware of an option like that [03:34] wubi? what's that? [03:34] 0.74 % of my CPU, and 0.11% of MEM [03:34] !wubi [03:34] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [03:34] xangua1: heh I know how to run Windows with anti virus and such not needed, but I am not doing Windows suppourt here :d [03:34] khensthoth: 0.74 % of my CPU, and 0.11% of MEM [03:34] fat partition? [03:34] sebsebseb: yes, but an mbr virus will effect both partitions. [03:34] n2diy: Windoze can't read to an ext3 naturally. So you're safe. [03:34] coleys: Thanks. [03:34] glitsj16, it has to be run as me though so i can reattach at will upon login [03:34] Does anybody know if I can adjust Banshee to sort the artist name by the filename/folder instead of the ID tag? [03:34] Ok, so { sudo aptitude dist-upgrade } will take me from 8.04 to 9.04, right? Is there any way to reverse that in case, uhhh, I decide to? [03:34] n2diy: why not put Windows inside a virtual machine inside Ubuntu? fine for everything except like 3D games [03:35] glitsj16, but i want it to run at bootup incase of power outage etc [03:35] Generally no, Luigi [03:35] Luig1: Other than reinstalling, I doubt so. [03:35] somatt: a nice old-skool oneliner script in your autostart folder won't cut it ? [03:35] sebsebseb: that is the suggestion I was looking for, have a link to a howto or something? [03:35] My Bluetooth died. How do I repair it? [03:35] n2diy: in fact I would rather not suppourt Windows these days, unless people are dual booting with a better OS, or running Windows in a virtual machine, inside a better OS [03:35] hacim: idk what it is for intel... everything i have is nvidia or ati... [03:35] glitsj16, it needs to be done on boot though [03:35] n2diy: google virtualbox. [03:36] sebsebseb: i just wanna to remember you that in dual boot because of the windows users the grub can be deleted or something [03:36] glitsj16: Also you might have to use a user script if you want it to run at startup, it tends to load before the panal and overlaps it, so I sleep it for 10 seconds to let the panel load. [03:36] xunil: i dont think it needs special proprietary drivers [03:36] glitsj16, it needs to be done on boot AND be run as me though [03:36] xangua1: the Windows CD would overwrite Grub sure, but otherwise no [03:36] sebsebseb: roger, tnk [03:36] xangua1: What? [03:36] glitsj16, can that be done with autostart folder i don't know much about that [03:37] hacim: o yeah... i do have one with intell.. and i didn't have to do anything... that computer is using an old 7.04 distro tho [03:37] coleys: thanks for the tips [03:37] xangua1: who is using that computer? and what are they using it for? [03:37] guys... I have aproblem here [03:37] !question | vluser [03:37] vluser: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:37] vluser: ok what is it? [03:37] xtpsetup is looking for libgtk1.2.so.0 [03:37] the file is there [03:37] Asking to ask is asking for axing. [03:37] it's a link to another file [03:38] but it staill says no file or dir [03:38] Do a symbolic link? [03:38] glitsj16, are you talking about rc.local? [03:38] it's already there [03:38] ieatnoobs: nice way of phrasing that :) [03:38] xunil: Thank you lol [03:38] n2diy: your going to run Windows inside Ubuntu yes? [03:38] ieatnoobs:lol [03:39] Does an ybody know anything about Banshee whatsoever? [03:39] Roasted: sure [03:39] any ideas? [03:39] Roasted: and I am using right now whilst listening to music :) [03:39] somatt: that or just a .desktop file like those in your ~/config/autostart folder [03:39] sebsebseb: yes, so Ubuntu would be the master OS of the system, right? [03:39] Roasted: and that music submittting to last.fm [03:39] Roasted: i know i preferred Rhythembox over it [03:39] n2diy: yep [03:39] What's the best music player, would you guys say? Amarok? [03:39] what is the difference between /usr/include and /usr/local/include [03:39] ieatnoobs: nope [03:39] ieatnoobs: Banshee [03:39] !best | ieatnoobs [03:39] mplayer! [03:39] ieatnoobs: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. 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. [03:39] ieatnoobs: www.pandora.com :D [03:39] i prefer rythmbox [03:40] Amarok used to be good. But now Amarok2 is out and it kind of sucks. Just get Banshee. [03:40] Banshee? okay. [03:40] Roasted: i'd agree... rythmbox is ok though [03:40] Is banshee really that good? [03:40] zhanx: I used Rythombox when Banshee sucked, but that's been quite a while now, when Banshee has been great [03:40] I just use pandora radio [03:40] xunil: pandora rocks, and rolls! :) [03:40] Roasted: why sucks ¿¿ [03:40] anyone know if there's an easy way to use bonjour (i.e. to access a share on a mac) in ubuntu? [03:40] Banshee users - Is there any way at all I can control my playlist WITHOUT the ID tags? A LOT of my music has no ID tags and I don't wnat to have to redo the ID tags, however I spetn a lot of time making maticulus re-naming to the individual files. [03:40] n2diy: ya it does! [03:40] Pandora is fail for canadians =( [03:40] Jesus! Banshee is a 34 MB download! [03:40] sebsebseb hows it do with large music lib's? [03:40] ieatnoobs: maybe if it's including mono [03:40] ieatnoobs: unless you're on metered service, or dial up, who cares? [03:40] then what do you suggest coleys? [03:41] zhanx: I got a lot of music here no problems [03:41] IndyGunFreak: I am on metered service. [03:41] zhanx: only problem I got with banshee was when my home folder filled up [03:41] "We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S." [03:41] xunil: Music player daemon, or exaile =p [03:41] glitsj16, i don't understand what that means [03:41] Ouch [03:41] sebsebseb define alot i got over 500 gig [03:41] zhanx: then the database got currupted, but otherwise it's great [03:41] ieatnoobs: then i would use what came w/ the install if you don't want to pay more.. rythmbox is fine [03:41] xunil: how do you stop the movie scripts, that screws everything up here? [03:41] goddang it [03:41] coleys: for streaming radio..... [03:41] Oh, it's getting freepats. Is there a way to get it and tell it to not DL freepats? [03:41] xangual - Amarok2, from what I understand, locks out all other audio besides Amarok... so if I go to youtube to listen to a video quick, if amarok is running, I hear no audio. Ive tried to find a setting for this and I couldnt. Plus they stripped a lot more settings. So many people are pissed off over it. [03:41] zhanx: ok not that much. I got like 10GB worth [03:41] zhanx: 5 days or so worth [03:41] coleys: iv tried shoutcast stuff.. but don't really like some of the stuff === m` is now known as mcclaust [03:41] glitsj16, is it a symlink in my autostart folder? and will that make it start at boot not login [03:42] k i'll stick with rythm just in case [03:42] Oh, it's getting freepats. Is there a way to get it and tell it to not DL freepats? [03:42] zhanx: nah [03:42] xunil: ohhh lol.. I mean fail as in.. Canadians can't use pandora radio... cause of restrictions =( [03:42] zhanx: Banshee :) [03:42] zhanx: Banshee will work great trust me! [03:42] d/l it right now to check it out.. [03:42] How can i verify that i have the 64bit ubuntu installed? [03:42] coleys: oooo lol ok..... that makes more sense [03:42] sebsebseb - any idea, since you seem to be a heavy banshee user? [03:42] How do I apt-get install without downloading one of the packages? [03:42] somatt: it's not a symlink no, look at it as a script that is autostarted each time you login [03:42] sebsebseb: Is banshee heavy on resources? [03:42] coleys: no [03:43] I can't upgrade directly from 8.04 to 9.04? It only points me to 8.10... [03:43] i've not used banshee in a while, it looks pretty slick. [03:43] sebsebseb: Gotta give it a try now =p [03:43] Roasted: id tags you mean in the mp3's? [03:43] Luig1: thats correct.. [03:43] guys... vluser@vluser-desktop:~$ sudo xtpsetup [03:43] xtpsetup: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or direct [03:43] ieatnoobs: you can probably point to a package on the CD... idk exactally how tho [03:43] xunil: Is freepats on the 8.10 CD? [03:43] sebsebseb - yeah. Banshee organizes my music by ID tag and a lot of my music doesnt have ID tags... I just want it to import my music "as is"... the way its already organized in my home folder === mcclaust is now known as m` [03:43] coleys: your on 8.10 or 9.04, 8.04 and people get a rubbish version of Banshee [03:43] vluser@vluser-desktop:~$ ls -al /usr/lib| grep libgtk [03:43] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-05-03 13:08 libgtk-1.2.so.0 -> libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1 [03:43] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1493656 2008-01-05 13:43 libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1 [03:43] IndyGunFreak: does that mean I'll need to upgrade twice tonight? [03:43] glitsj16, well i need it to start when i boot up not when i log in, it should be already on and started when i log in [03:43] ieatnoobs: but then you can probably download on a seperate and use gdebi package installer [03:43] sebsebseb: Yeah 9.04 [03:44] how can it not see the library... it's there! [03:44] Luig1: yes.. might be easier to just clean install 9.04.. cuz i bet that will take a while. [03:44] any ideas? [03:44] glitsj16: khensthoth If you two get conky setup show me your screenies =! [03:44] IndyGunFreak: What do you mean by clean install? [03:44] I hate HughesNet. With a fiert passion. [03:44] fiery* [03:44] !jabber [03:44] jabber is a free and open source instant messaging protocol, unlike MSN and AIM. Supporting clients on Linux: Kopete (KDE), Pidgin (GNOME). For more info see http://www.jabber.org [03:44] ieatnoobs: idk [03:44] Luig1: ..? i mean clean install... do a clean install of 9.04 [03:44] Roasted: don't know [03:45] Luig1: don't upgrade.. [03:45] coleys: deal ... could take a while lol, i'm planning on upgrading to jaunty first [03:45] Clean installs ftw [03:45] vluser: run ldd on the xtpsetup binary [03:45] coleys: I set it up long long ago (when I first started using Ubuntu), and I got bored with it. I was just asking about RAM usage. =) [03:45] coleys: i tend to agree, i hate doing upgrades... === alexb__ is now known as test34 [03:45] Luig1 he means kill off everthing on the hard drive and install it... ie no old stuff [03:45] IndyGunFreak: Oh, like from a disk, over my current installation? Hmm... That would mean fixing my menus and everything all over, right? [03:45] Luig1: it would be like having a totally new OS, yes. [03:45] coleys: yep espeasilly when a few issues from 9.04 alpha6 still, still not been bothered to do it yet though for various reasons. [03:46] Luig1: Do you have a separate partitions for / and /home? [03:46] zhanx: well, not everything on the disk.. just your Linux install, you don't have to mess w/ Windows stuff. [03:46] glitsj16: Okay, well ill be in this channel so when you see me pokee me =p [03:46] crdlb, http://nopaste.com/p/aP3gVfCMt [03:46] glitsj16: And try fresh install =D [03:46] khensthoth: If that is not a default feature for 8.04, then no... [03:46] IndyGunFreak: if you make a seperate partition for your /home then you can tell the next install to use that partition and it saves all your preferences and what nto... you just need to format the / partition and bam... "clean" install [03:46] IndyGunFreak yea, sorry didnt clearify that far and lugi1 just back up your home [03:46] coleys: sure thing ... on both subjects :) [03:46] coleys: does this computer go Ext4 or not this week (in this time soon, next week for most of you) when I get rid of this and put 9.04 final on hummmm. I am looking forward to Ext4 [03:46] vluser: sudo ldconfig [03:47] Luig1: In that case, I'd suggest you backup all your files in your /home, download Ubuntu 9.04 CD, Install over it, and put all your /home files back. [03:47] coleys: time zone in my brackets [03:47] Is ext4 niftier than ext3? [03:47] What's the difference? [03:47] although the live cd worked without a hitch, probably the safer bet indeed [03:47] ieatnoobs: 3 issues in the release notes, which won't effect a clean install :) [03:47] xunil: i've never put home on a separate partition.. i just have a separate huge partition, thats where i put all my movies, music, etc, etc.. then my actual "linux partition".. is 30gigs.. XP is 30gigs, and the other partition is like 400.. and both XP and Ubuntu can access the media on that partition [03:47] ieatnoobs: disk checking is much quicker, and it's meant to be better with bigger files [03:47] sebsebseb: ? [03:47] sebsebseb: Oh. [03:47] khensthoth: Including preferences files? [03:48] khensthoth: What are the advantages of that over upgrading twice? [03:48] hi [03:48] crdlb, same error [03:48] ieatnoobs: the 9.04 release notes has 3 Ext4 issues that can be solved and worked around etc. and they woudn't apply to a clean install [03:48] can't find the lib [03:48] Luigi: By preferences file you mean all those .config and .whatever? If so then yes. [03:48] IndyGunFreak: then just back up your entire /home folder to a DVD or something.. then reload after install.... you probably will want to keep the same username however [03:48] what error? === Luig1 is now known as Luigi [03:48] Luig1: Well, save time and download bandwitdh. [03:49] xunil: most of my configurations on software, is pretty easy.. so i just have a "configuration file".. where i record any configuration changes i make to software.. it takes me about 10min to setup all the software i want/ [03:49] how can i apply the changes if i already changed the icons under applications (games internet etc), i can't seem to make it take its effect [03:49] i have music stored on my fileserver I want to stream somehow to my play machine, without setting up CIFS.. is there a way to do that? [03:49] where can I get x86_64-pc-elf-objdump [03:49] * cast wonders if ext4 is the most boring new file system ever released [03:49] who is hacker? [03:49] cast: why?

[03:49] swordead: everyone that programs opensource/freesoftware! hack the code for a opensource/freesoftware program, as in edit the code [03:49] ext3 can handle my tb fine right now [03:50] eross: I assume so [03:50] swordead: well, the userlist says 1455 [03:50] sure [03:50] hi all - could someone please help me? I have a dell inspiron laptop with a broadcom wireless card. wireless WAS fine - since my upgrade to 9.04, wireless is SUPER buggy... even tried live cd of 8.10, it's buggy... don't know what to do [03:50] woo tht a lot of peobl [03:50] How do I get the list of parameters for a command?

AMD X4 9950 system keeps locking up on install, also tried 32 bit version. [03:50] swordead: media have it wrong, they aren't called hackers the bad guys, they are called crackers or blackhats, and a serurity reasherser is a white hat [03:50] ext3 can* [03:50] hello [03:50] ieatnoobs: Isn't it --help? [03:50] ieatnoobs: man command name [03:51] that right [03:51] would { cc -arv /home/luigi /media/disk } copy everything in my home directory directly to the disk? (I'm asking if I wrote that command right) [03:51] Gnome os taking about 46 seconds to login. Isn't that too much, what can I do to find out whats taking so long to load?

[03:51] clean install locks up during install of files [03:52] khensthoth: yeah cp [03:52] xangua1> something is wrong right? [03:52] tried 32 and 64 bit versions EXT3 and EXT4 no go [03:52] you can scane the port and know the operating sistem [03:52] jum...... [03:52] smithsr93: check the cd's intergerty or try re-downloading the iso... iv ran ito that isses a few times [03:52] smithsr93: try the alternate install CD... the machines i've had that choke on the live CD, always work w/ the alt. install [03:52] why does it seem specific flash sites shoot my processer usage to 100%? Sites like speedtest.net, before a test is even run [03:52] Sadly, I can't afford any ethical hacker certification or anything so there's no way for me to learn. [03:52] smithsr93: also.. burn the ISO's SLOW... [03:52] Luigi: Then yup, you are probably right. Someone else can confirm though. [03:52] I don't even dl the live cd's anymore [03:52] !alternate | smithsr93 [03:52] smithsr93: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [03:52] they always mess up on me [03:52] I will try alt install [03:53] there is certifications of hackers? [03:53] smithsr93: its pretty easy [03:53] nvm [03:53] swordead: join #nmap [03:53] there are centifications of hackers? [03:53] sworded: CEH Certefied Ethecal Hacker [03:53] Thanks, going through withdrawal symptoms with out ubuntu [03:53] lol [03:53] do the effects shown in settings > desktop > effects come from compiz and kwin? a lot of the effects shown in ccsm seem to be in the effects list in settings too [03:53] smithsr93: did you use Ext4? [03:53] lol, know how that goes [03:53] khensthoth: :D I remember that command vividly. My installation broke once and I had to do that from LiveCD onto a freshly purchased portable hard disk... [03:54] somebody kno?w nessus [03:54] anyone? how can i apply the changes if i already changed the icons under applications (games internet etc), i can't seem to make it take its effect [03:54] certified ethical hacker.. if that doesn't sound like an oxymoron [03:54] yes, crashed on install Fedora Core 10 and Mandriva 2009 install ok [03:54] IndyGunFreak, haha forsure [03:54] Windoh: ya, you can do a synaptic search and get the full config program for it [03:54] smithsr93: you did 9.04 with Ext4? [03:54] swordead: are you listing all http://sectools.org/ ? [03:54] Luigi: That's good. You can confirm by typing cp --help and see the list of parameters too. [03:54] yes [03:54] sebsebseb: it's just an upgrade of ext3, which was rather boring. using XFS mostly myself, the addition of extents doesn't make me go "omg WOW". ZFS came out before ext4, btrfs will come out after, now those are exciting :) [03:55] can someone please look at my ProFTPd config and tell me why I can connect using userftp account but not anonymous? http://paste.ubuntu.com/163915 [03:55] well, bye thank for all [03:55] swordead: might take a while here is a ubuntu forum you have a question about it ? [03:55] no bye [03:55] When I try to install the new Ubuntu, nothing happens. Of the startup menu, after the language, the only choice that does anything is Test Memory. What can I do to get Ubuntu on my laptop? [03:55] cast: which is the best file system? to anyone: and no I don't want !best and bostbot can't answer this question anyway [03:55] i had the "explode" effect working. i uninstalled emerald and now it is not working anymore. i reinstalled emerald but when i type "emerald --replace" the terminal never returns to the shell prompt and the theme never changes. [03:56] tuxwulf: try reburning the iso.. SLOW... [03:56] !best [03:56] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. 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. [03:56] ieatnoobs: I said no need for that [03:56] ext4 [03:56] Strangeeeee... My computer doesn't let me use all my RAM. It recognizes there is 4gigs via 'sudo lshw -C memory' but it only is allowing me 3.8 gigs =/ [03:56] sebsebseb: :P [03:56] IndyGunFreak: Owkay... Already did thta a few times but I suppose I can try again. [03:56] sebsebseb: ext3 is most common and usually works best. I think ext4 may be better [03:56] sebsebseb: the one that suits your needs best. [03:56] coleys: google> ubuntu 4 gigas ram [03:56] cast: yeah I heard this XFS is meant to be good, and that btrfs is like Ext4 version two [03:56] tuxwulf: wel if you've tried that several times, then thats unlikelyu the issue. [03:56] tuxwulf: might be a bad CD burn, do you end up with an rmfs prompt, or something like that? [03:56] cast: right, but how would I know which one that is? and I just do pretty standard computer usage at the moment [03:56] hrm, jaunty has been nothing but trouble for me :( [03:56] tuxwulf: i'd try the alternate install.. [03:57] somebody help me [03:57] IndyGunFreak> it seems alsa is complaining of a lack of something called a PCM named pulse. I removed pulseaudio - I dont wannit. Might that be it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/163939/. [03:57] cast: plus some geek stuff :d === mib_ulq4b7 is now known as rnd-name [03:57] ok so heres a retarded question, how do i delete other partions and combine them so that theres only one partition [03:57] th8is ting can't find a library [03:57] and I know it's there [03:57] Man. Ubuntu really tries to force freepats down my throat. [03:57] xangua1: That's What I did, didn't really find results though =/ [03:57] cast: ,but that would still be standard computer usage [03:57] mercutio22: quite possible.. [03:57] and that might be preventing smooth gnome login [03:57] ahhhh: Use Gparted [03:57] sebsebseb: you'd look up benchmarks, read opinions of experts, === vluser is now known as M0E-lnx [03:57] n2diy: Nope. The menu appears and is .. always there. It stays there... [03:57] cast: Ext4 I guess then [03:57] IndyGunFreak> So alsa depends on pulseaudio now? [03:58] why doesn't my keyboard work when I boot the installer? [03:58] that would suck [03:58] tuxwulf: which menu? can you run memtest86?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [03:58] mercutio22: that i don't know.. i don't think so.. but pluse is way better now than it was.. even i use it. [03:58] is there a place I can search for programs not in the main install repositories? Want to install blender 3d, but don't see it in the application->add/remove lists. I can compile, but would rather just install a binary if possible. [03:58] What font does Vista use? [03:58] Dracofodder, google [03:58] !info blender [03:58] blender (source: blender): Very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.48a+dfsg-1ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 9881 kB, installed size 25480 kB [03:58] knnopix std anybody?

See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [03:59] sebsebseb: presumably you're just ignoring my advice, but that's ok. [03:59] cast: well [03:59] IndyGunFreak> I was having kernel panics triggered by pulseaudio. I had to remove it. Its bad piece of software. It breaks audio for three ubuntu generations [03:59] cast: I don't know enough about file systems [03:59] Dracofodder: where it says SHOW change it to All aviabke [03:59] Dracofodder: you must be missing some repositories or something, because blender is in my repositories [03:59] I am sick of pulseaudio [03:59] sebsebseb: wikipedia, is neat. so is google. [03:59] Dracofodder, Mine too [03:59] tried that, didn't show it. will try again.. [03:59] cast: and benchmarking a home computer from March 2007 now, seems a little silly [03:59] sebsebseb: why? [03:59] mercutio22, I use pulseaudio all the time and really like it. It hangs sometimes, but less often than it used to. [04:00] sebsebseb: has ext3 and reiserfs and xfs changed a lot since then? [04:00] sebsebseb: have we moved from spinning disks to SSD? [04:00] cast: nope [04:00] when I boot the install CD, what other logins are there, besides the ubuntu one? [04:00] Severian> it should never hang, that crappy crap. [04:00] anyone interested in telling me what they think of this mini-article i jsut wrote about Ubuntu privacy? http://darkrockstudios.com/public/dotplan.php [04:00] when i run "emerald" from the command line, should something appear on the gui? [04:00] cast: you think I should benchmark my home computer? what would you use for that? [04:00] back again guys xD [04:00] new and improved [04:00] Alguém instalou o aoss? [04:00] !es [04:00] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [04:00] Dracofodder: did you find it?

[04:00] sebsebseb, phoronix [04:01] ok both of those are Live CD's I assume [04:01] IndyGunFreak: dang, thanks... its there now.. I must have done something way wrong earlier this evening [04:01] sebsebseb: well, it is the thing that will give you results most important to you. [04:01] Dracofodder: lol, it happens [04:01] I thought people tend to benchmark a computer when it is rather new, and then again later on [04:02] sebsebseb: not at all benchmark are always important for some critical applications hardware and so [04:02] sebsebseb: uh...what? [04:02] does someone know how a software to convert mp3 to mp4 ?? [04:02] lozada-sama: what is mp4 [04:02] lozada-sama, isnt mp4 video? [04:02] the mac format of the music files [04:02] cast: bechmark performance testing over time [04:02] cast: test again to see if hardware has got worse etc yeah? [04:02] lozada-sama, i think your thining m4a [04:02] oh sorry xD [04:03] lozada-sama, or aac [04:03] cast: did bechmarking in a networking class, that was it [04:03] Hey all, I just tried to get Pretty Emacs installed (according to http://peadrop.com/blog/2007/01/06/pretty-emacs/), and everything went smoothly until I tried to load emacs and I get this message: "No fonts match `Monospace-12'" Any idea how to remedy this? [04:03] cast: wait we learnt about it, but never did it properly if I remember correctly [04:03] sebsebseb: for normal HW, unless it's defective why would it get any slower? [notable exception: SSD] [04:03] optimarcusprime, emacs is an OS really, you're better off with VI/VIM [04:03] Wavesonics, not very informative. You should spell check it. It has several opinions. I say it is not informative, because you don't explain why you say these things must be done. [04:04] lozada-sama, i not sure there is an app in the repos but a google search might fond something [04:04] user [04:04] buidinh [04:04] jp_sf usser cast ok well sure I can try those programs, I like trying stuff I haven't used before anyway [04:04] arg, I can't boot! [04:04] ive been doing it for hours i came to the irs cause i reached a dead end [04:04] i just get "GRUB" [04:04] ... === rachel is now known as Guest23471 === ahhhh is now known as BoyGeorge42 [04:04] lozada-sama: jus install 'ubuntu restricted extras' if you are using Gnome [04:04] sebsebseb: with sar I like to use ksar for some graphical output [04:05] lozada-sama, oh, sorry i wasn't much help =/ [04:05] hi xangua1 [04:05] already did [04:05] can someone please look at my ProFTPd config and tell me why I can connect using userftp account but not anonymous? http://paste.ubuntu.com/163915 [04:05] jum...and what video player are you using lozada-sama ¿ [04:05] jp_sf: ok thanks [04:06] oh sorry i misspelled later it was how to convert mp3 to m4a [04:06] Can I get cleartype in Ubuntu? [04:06] So, I just exited out of Banshee after doing 2 hours of arranging my music library the way I wanted and went back in... turns out Banshee didn't save any of my settings despite m hitting save after every single change I made. Can anybody tell me why banshee is so popular if it does stuff like this? [04:06] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (r8169): transmit timed out [04:06] n2diy: Pardon me, I was called away. The memtest is the only menu choice that changes the screen. Install and try Ubuntu choices, I do see the CD's LED light and blink, which stops after about a minute, but never does anything [04:06] lozada-sama, i have never used it but i think ffmpeg is what your looking for [04:06] hello [04:06] cast: are file systems really that important for home computing? I mean pretty much any Linux file system that is an option for Ubuntu would do the trick, for most home users, woudn't it? [04:07] john, hello [04:07] i downloaded that to put amarok to play mp3 === john is now known as Guest32376 [04:07] Why is Ext3 the default for most distros? [04:07] tuxwulf: sounds like a bad CD burn, I have a ton of memtest86 disks here, due to bad burns. [04:07] sebsebseb: most common [04:07] sebsebseb: because it is [04:07] sebsebseb: guess it depends how important your files are. [04:07] jp_sf: sure, but why? [04:07] sebsebseb: its most supported [04:08] hello ervryone is somebody use the r8169? [04:08] sebastien, I think they are important. Any are usable in a pinch. It depends on what is important to you. I usually use JFS or XFS. I never use ext3 or ext4 [04:08] n2diy: Ok, trying alternate and slow burn [04:08] tuxwulf: GL [04:08] Severian: why JFS or XFS? [04:08] i get annoyed with slow rm -fr operations personally [04:08] thats what i'm sayin [04:08] sebsebseb: because it works ok, stable have recovery is default on Debian XFS is better for bigger files ... [04:09] n2diy: What's GL? [04:09] sebsebseb: ext3 is ext2 with journaling that's a good reason too [04:09] tuxwulf: GL, is good luck! :) [04:09] jp_sf: yeah and Ext4 is Ext3 with some add ons? [04:10] So, I just exited out of Banshee after doing 2 hours of arranging my music library the way I wanted and went back in... turns out Banshee didn't save any of my settings despite m hitting save after every single change I made. Can anybody tell me why banshee is so popular if it does stuff like this? [04:10] n2diy: Ah! Thanks! Also for the replies! [04:10] There is not a quick answer. I have read and studied the technical details of all the major filesystems. JFS and XFS seem the best designed. I was rooting for Reiser4, which was really promising, but it seems to have fallen apart. The Btrfs is promising and I expect to be using it soon. [04:10] tuxwulf: GL [04:10] Roasted: join #ubuntu-bots and ask: what is the best music player [04:10] Anybody know why 'shutdown now' immediately reboots my PC into the recovery menu instead of just shutting down like it did previously? [04:11] exit [04:11] Reiser4 would have been nice if the maker of it didn't go to prison [04:11] Roasted: then you can get an idea for how popular Banshee really is with Ubuntu users [04:11] the maker of Reiser went to prison? [04:11] sebsebseb, that last post was for you. I did not put your name on it. [04:11] lol. [04:11] sebsebseb: somehow yes a lot of articles are out there now ince last novemeber on ext3 [04:11] Huufarted: shutdown -h now? [04:11] sebsebseb - why is banshee being a beeyotch to control though? I just want it to look at my music as is - like amarok did................ [04:11] eseven73: yeah I heard good things about reiser4 from someone as well, but I would not use murderfs for that very reason [04:11] iI hate this ID tag sorting BS [04:12] 2 hours of creating and savings tags to have banshee not save them? LOL? [04:12] n2diy, unless an alias magically changed, I've always used 'shutdown now' and now it sends me to the recovery menu but doesn't actually shut my PC off. It's like it's defaulting to the -r argument [04:12] hey my sound crashed anyway to restore sound w/o restarting my ubuntu [04:12] disappearedng, alsa? [04:12] does anyone know how to manage hard drive partions in Ubuntu [04:12] eseven73, the problem is not that he went to prison. It is that he is a murderer. [04:12] ? [04:12] reiser4 creator murdered his ex wife http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser [04:12] tkt I think so [04:13] disappearedng, try running alsaconf as root, thats what i do and im on debian so it should work [04:13] Huufarted: I've never run shutdown without a switch, so I don't know? [04:13] Severian, I know that what I was refering to [04:13] BoyGeorge42, Your question is too general. What to you mean manage? [04:13] eseven73: yeah he was chroot to jail [04:13] n2diy, thanks [04:13] Severian: it may be a silly reason to choose a file system really for a clean install, but as I was testing 9.04, Ext4 was the talk and all that. so now I want to get rid of this install I was testing with, whic has some minor issues left from Alpha6, and put 9.04 final on and do Ext4 [04:13] tkt command not found [04:13] FFFUUU [04:13] How do I find a pid/ [04:13] i just upgraded to kubuntu 9.04, and it updated amarok to amarok 2... but now my system sound level does not affect amarok's sound level... how can i fix this, it's annoying to open up amarok everytime i want to change the volume... thanks... [04:13] IndyGunFreak: pgrep name-of-process [04:13] disappearedng, try installing it maybe, sudo apt-get install alsaconf [04:14] IndyGunFreak: oops, ignore that [04:14] d41: do you use KDE ¿¿ [04:14] how do I know if I am alsa in the first place [04:14] pidof firefox for example will tell you pid # [04:14] My laptop has trouble if I suspend while my home NTFS share is mounted, then wake up somewhere else. How can I umount it automatically whenever I suspend? Or is there a better solution? [04:14] xangua1: yes i use kde [04:14] disappearedng, look in your sound settings. [04:14] can someone please look at my ProFTPd config and tell me why I can connect using userftp account but not anonymous? http://paste.ubuntu.com/163915 [04:14] anyone ? [04:15] BoyGeorge42: What do you want to do exactly to your partitions? [04:15] sebsebseb: don't worry a lot of good things are happening: tux3, btrfs, hammer, and I'm not talking of zfs in user space [04:15] sebsebseb, I try out filesystems. There is nothing silly about your trying ext4. Put it on a system, and use it for a while. But, don't trust it with anything you only have one copy of. It is too easy to corrupt. [04:15] BoyGeorge42, try gparted [04:15] well i wanted to clean install this ubuntu and basically get rid of the vista stuff [04:15] Severian: why is it so easy to corrupt? [04:16] d41: tell amarok to use xine [04:16] BoyGeorge42: Take tkt's advice. Install Gparted and manage them. [04:16] jp_sf: tux3 and hammer not talked of those, and zfs not for end users why? [04:16] sebsebseb: it commits changes to the disk less frequently to improve performance [04:16] jp_sf: talked of those? I meant heard of those [04:16] thanks iĺl look for it right meow [04:16] BoyGeorge42: Sometimes you can't delete mounted partitions. In that case, boot into a LiveCD of Ubuntu or PartedMagic, and do it from there. [04:17] sebsebseb: no I didn't say zfs is not for end user there is a license problem, but nevermind I'm not a big fan of zfs [04:17] BoyGeorge42, gparted also has a live cd [04:17] ok good to go, tanks [04:17] lstarnes: well it seems the powercut or whatever and dataloss issue, got fixed, which is the main thing for me, since I like to just turn my computer off on the power button untill it goes off :d [04:17] thanks* [04:17] what kind of educational things does edubuntu have...im trying to find some software that will let me look up medical things easyer then the internet [04:18] FloridaGuy: Edubuntu is for young children and their schools really [04:18] sebsebseb, google for that to find details. There are multiple failure modes, which may get patched over time. One has to do with writes that are cached at the time of a power failure. The filesystem comes back up corrupt. Loosing writes is one thing. Corrupting the filesystem is much worse. [04:18] sebsebseb, ok thanks [04:18] ola [04:19] xangua1: how do i tell amarok to use xine? i don't see anything in the configure amarok window [04:19] <`Ned> hello, I'm on ubuntu 9.04 and I have a cd-rw/dvd-rom drive. ever since I upgraded from 8.10, I haven't been able to use the dvd-drive because it won't mount [04:19] d41, shoud me in the engine tab of amarok config [04:19] Severian: well if it won't let me boot into it loads [04:19] Severian: I can always get rid of Ext4 and do something else [04:19] d41: in the kde panel contro, i don't realy know, i am a gnome user [04:20] Severian: it's time for me to move on from Ext3 [04:20] `Ned: How are you attempting to mount the drive? [04:20] Is ext3 obsolete? [04:20] no [04:20] it's not [04:20] tkt: Certainly not [04:20] tkt: no [04:20] Ok =D [04:20] <`Ned> RedSocrates, I click on 'mount volume' [04:20] tkt: ext2 isn't obsolete yet. [04:20] Severian: Ext3 is slow disk checking, I heard Ext4 has much faster disk checking, and every now and again my Ext3 partitions have needed to be fixed [04:20] `Ned: And what happens? [04:20] PhotoJim, haha ok [04:21] you can tweak that disk checking for ext3 [04:21] it's on the forums [04:21] Hi, i have a VirtualBox Windows XP running on my ubuntu.. trying to access my Ubuntu file system with the net use command, sharing the /home/ folder.. it says not route to network... i have internet though, any help? [04:21] xangua1: all i see is general, collection, internet services, playback and onscreen display [04:21] sebsebseb, the failure modes of ext4 are not common. For testing, it is fine. I would just be careful about keeping any data just there. That's all. [04:21] <`Ned> RedSocrates, then it says 'unable to mount volume. can't mount file' [04:21] Severian: yeah I already knew there were possible dataloss issues, so i'll just have stuff somewhere else to [04:22] http://i44.tinypic.com/10wnsxc.png Look at the address bar and search bar. What's the font doing? Why is it all bulky? [04:22] javb, You may not have networking setup right on the guest machine. [04:22] Severian, i have internet. [04:22] In the virtual machine [04:22] javb, what version of Virtualbox? [04:22] Severian 2.1.4 [04:23] tkt: Ext3 is fine for most Linux users, just us people that have been using Linux for years, want to try different file systems and such [04:23] `Ned: Have you tried to mount it from commandline? [04:23] And, on the setup page for the guest machine, look at networking. What type did you setup? [04:23] sebsebseb, what is the advantage of ext4, and isn't it still under development? [04:23] javb, And, on the setup page for the guest machine, look at networking. What type did you setup? [04:23] tkt: faster disk checking, better with bigger files, and I think that's about it really [04:24] sebsebseb, i see, thank you [04:24] <`Ned> RedSocrates, yes, someone else here tried to help me with that and I tried to mount from command line and it didn't work [04:24] tkt: plus someone just said faster disk checking can be done with Ext3 as well [04:24] it can be tweaked yep [04:24] when switching to another user without logging out (using the user-switch pannel applet) compiz is disabled for the second user, even if they have compiz enabled when loggin in by themselves. Is this supposed to happen or is it just me? [04:24] javb, that is, what is in the field labelled Attached to [04:25] sebsebseb, i deal with files 5gb and larger on a regular basis. Would i advantage by using ext4? [04:25] so how can i tell amarok to use xine? [04:25] Severian, Host interface [04:25] O_o weird... question: how do you make the NTFS volume stop automounting? (apparently it automounts now, and I dont' want it to........) I checked fstab, and it's not on there [04:25] so realy it's best to recommend people that are pretty new to Ubuntu a year or less, that they just use Ext3? [04:25] `Ned: Hm.. Unfortunately I don't use GNOME, so I don't know exactly what to do there. I don't want to make you try the commandline all over again... [04:25] how can I trash a partition in the installer? [04:25] uh GNU/Linux as a whole not just Ubuntu, above [04:26] javb, that is what it should be. So, can you ping the machine with the samba share? [04:26] <`Ned> RedSocrates, I forgot the exact command I used....I only recall the part about 'cdrom0' or something like that [04:26] hacim: Which step of the installer are you at right now? [04:26] sebsebseb, I always recommend JFS as the default choice. [04:26] Severian... samba share? THe folder in the host machine has to be SHARED besides adding it to the shared label in VB ? [04:26] Severian: why? [04:26] `Ned: How many cd drives do you have? [04:27] tkt: yes and no [04:27] hi guys. im trying to install nx free server on 9.04.. i was able to find a repo, but cant seem to find it's gpg and that's causing me to be a little concerned about security. could someone advice? [04:27] sebsebseb, lol, i will look into id =D [04:27] <`Ned> RedSocrates, I downgraded to 8.10 and I got it to work again, then I upgraded to 9.04 again and it's not working again [04:27] <`Ned> RedSocrates, just one [04:27] tkt: Ext4 is not 100% stable yet, there are 3 issues mentioend in the release notes etc [04:27] `Ned: Can you put your /etc/fstab file in a pastebin for me to look at? [04:27] tkt: well the Grub issue is probably really Grub's fault [04:27] tkt: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 [04:27] sebsebseb, so yes, but i should wait for a better release [04:28] Is there a firefox 3 default theme for Ubuntu? [04:28] tkt: better release uhmmmmm [04:28] sebsebseb, I told you before that I studied the filesystems. ext3 is basically a hack. JFS and XFS are well thought out filesystems. [04:28] <`Ned> RedSocrates, ok, but I forgot how to do that...do I just type /etc/fstab in the terminal? [04:28] `Ned: Also, can you confirm that cdrom0 shows up under /dev? (Just do "ls /dev/cdrom0".) I guess I'm gonna give you at least one command line command :) [04:28] Severian: and Ext4 is just Ext3 with some changes? [04:28] after upgrading i can't see wireless networks. iwconfig doesn't show ath0 interface anymore. any ideas> [04:28] ? [04:28] 'Ned: cat /etc/fstab [04:28] sebsebseb, idk.... i don't know anything about how filesystems are developed [04:29] javb, I may not understand what you are trying to do. I thought you were trying to connect to a samba share, but evidently not. Can you tell me again? [04:29] tkt: if you set up the partitions your self no newbie guided install [04:29] `Ned: Either opening it in an editor (e.g. "gedit /etc/fstab" or "nano /etc/fstab") will work, or you can just do what khensthoth just said [04:29] tkt: if you do it yourself quite a few file systems you can choose from [04:29] khensthoth: i'm at the partitioning step... i'm trying to install on a macbook pro, with osX dualboot [04:30] sebsebseb, well is it just ubuntu that is doing using ext4? becuase i use debian but i hang out here because the debian channel sucks [04:30] hi house [04:30] any body in? [04:30] Severian: ok well another time I guess I try out JFS and XFS, or at least one of them. if I try differnet file systemes in vm's would I get the advantages? [04:30] hacim: Let me invoke my memory. Did you select manually specify the partitions to install? Was that step over already? [04:30] i need to chart to some one right naw [04:30] my initrd isn't creating /dev/sda* even though the module for the SATA chip is loaded :/ [04:31] tkt: nope Fedora 11 which is currently in development will have Ext4 as an option or mabye even the default [04:31] sebsebseb, i see [04:31] Severian, i need to access a folder in the host mchine, from a virtual machine.. does that folder need to be shared using samba? [04:31] i can not install microsoft ward in my computer system [04:31] tkt: I'm using ext4 right now on ArchLinux [04:31] RedSocrates, any issues? [04:31] spawnery: MS Warden? [04:31] i need some one to tell me what the problem is pls [04:31] tkt: Not so far, but it's only been a few days :) [04:32] sebsebseb, JFS is the safest to recommend. XFS is a well tested system, but I believe there is an intermittent bug if you use it for the root filesystem and boot with GRUB. [04:32] RedSocrates, i see lol [04:32] spawnery: hi [04:32] hacim: If you did that already you can go to the next step, select a partition and click delete. That will delete that partition. [04:32] yea [04:32] spawnery: ok [04:32] this may sound dumb, but how do you set your nickname in irssi? [04:32] how do you set your default nickname [04:32] spawnery: first of all yes it is possible, but there are a few good alternatives [04:32] khensthoth: i'm trying to erase my existing install and reinstall, so I am at the "Prepare disk space" step [04:32] pls tell me [04:32] spawnery: rather new to Ubuntu/Linux ? [04:32] spawnery, use openoffice, it rocks. openoffice.org [04:32] <`Ned> RedSocrates, http://pastebin.com/md2351d6 [04:33] javb, It needs to be shared with samba, or nfs or some network filesystem. The guest can't see the drives directly on the host. [04:33] my dvd rom reeds my microsft cd but can not minstall it why? [04:33] If I want to install ubuntu onto Sony Vaio VGN-FS550 do I just use the desktop CD or is there a laptop version of ubuntu? [04:33] spawnery: Abiword is like a clone of Microsoft Word, but without the rubbish, this also however means it lacks certain advanced Word features, that like hardly anyone uses [04:33] panfist: i prefer to set it in ~/.irssi/config [04:33] spawnery: like a clone of Word 2003 or 2000 yeah [04:33] <`Ned> RedSocrates, I will try the ls thing...hold on [04:33] `Ned: k [04:34] real quick, when you update to 9.04 via the button in the update manager, what do you lose? I was fairly certain all your files and things stuck around, but with the transfer to ext4(?) I wasn't sure everything stayed secure [04:34] spawnery: Open Office is a good alternative to Microsoft Office, but there is also KOffice [04:34] panfist: /nick NewName [04:34] spawnery: Ubuntu comes with Open Office by default [04:34] hacim: Select your existing partition of Linux, format it to whatever filesystem you want, mount it to / or /home and remember to tick Format Partition. That's about all I can recall. [04:34] what do you want me to do [04:34] has anyone ever gotten bored and watched "ls -alR /" in there terminal? [04:34] Vulture_: update will no change format partition [04:34] how do i solve this problem? [04:34] javb, VirtualBox includes their own tool. They call them shared folders. You could look at that, but I prefer the more generic solution of setting up a samba share. [04:34] spawnery: are you brand new to Ubuntu/Linux? [04:35] yea [04:35] tkt: why? [04:35] M25, because i just did.... was wondering if i am that much of a loser or if others have [04:35] spawnery: ok quite a few ways software can be installed into Ubuntu, but the most quickest and best would the command line the terminal [04:35] M25, didn't finish though.... [04:35] spawnery: applications > assessories > terminal [04:36] ? [04:36] spawnery: you can do a lot of stuff in Ubuntu graphicalley, but also with commands [04:36] hacim: Okay I found an online screenshot of the installler at the step you are at. Are you still having problem? [04:36] xangual: so the format won't change and all my files will be fine? How do switch to ext4 and can I keep my files if I do? (it's not a problem to back up all my stuff to a portable harddrive, I'm just curious if I have to) [04:36] spawnery: commands are very powerful and save a lot of time, if you know how to use them :) [04:36] tkt: I've tried it, it's just that this channel's crowded enough with chat about problems, you'd probably have more luck with conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:37] spawnery: sudo apt-get install abiword once you got the terminal put your password in and hit enter. that will download and install abiword for you [04:37] spawnery: then you can open the program from the menu, or by typing abiword and hitting enter in the terminal [04:37] <`Ned> RedSocrates, I typed 'ls /dev/cdrom0' and I got '/dev/cdrom0 ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom0: No such file or directory' [04:37] sebsebseb i mean i need to install microsoft ward in my computer but the problem i dont no [04:38] * sebsebseb thinks spawnery might really be a troll [04:38] When ever somone has time, To install ubuntu on Sony Vaio VGN-FS550 laptop as, fresh install and only OS. do I use the netbook remix? [04:38] spawnery: it's called Microsoft Word [04:38] i tried what is in the forum to stop http cache cleaner http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241926 [04:38] Every time I check for updates I get this message: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/163952/ [04:38] hey guys, X is still running but I've got a black screen. (dgen seems to have forced it into a mode that doesn't work, or something like that) is there any way that I can either: restart X without killing/losing my X applications, or try and get X to output things again without restarting it? [04:38] hahaha [04:38] `Ned: Okay, well that explains why the command line thing you tried didn't work [04:38] microsoft ward.. [04:38] shldbestdy: what size is the screen, in inches and in pixels? [04:38] wolter: yeah I thought all along that this person was a troll [04:38] `Ned: Does "ls /dev/scd0" show you something? [04:39] yea i no [04:39] wolter: and calling it microsoft ward twice [04:39] shldbestdy: Why not use the Ubuntu instead of the Netbook Remix? [04:39] but it doesnt seem to have stopped it and i still can see http cache cleaner been launched every now and then.. [04:39] wolter: really does make us think they are troll [04:39] but i can not install it in my computer system [04:39] lol [04:39] lets not make it awkward for him [04:39] it can not install [04:39] how can i stop it and what exactly does it do ? [04:39] sorry spawnery [04:39] Hello. I have a problem connected to a wireless router (Actionet MI424-WR provided by Verizon). My laptop Dell Inspiron 1525 with Ubuntu preinstalled detects the signal but it showa the connecting icon but never actually connects. I disabled WEP and secutiry but to no avail. Any ideas? [04:39] wolter: I told him how to do it via command line [04:39] it just sounded (read?) a little funny [04:39] wolter: I mean how to get Abiword [04:39] i think its 15.1 inch or something, this is my GFs older laptop the HD "suppsedly" died [04:39] because you see, a ward is something else. [04:40] 15.4" http://www.amazon.com/Sony-VGN-FS550-Laptop-Pentium-Processor/dp/B00079F7KW [04:40] i think it just lost its recovery section and cna be fresh installed [04:40] spawnery: Ubuntu is not Windows, as a result you should try alternative programs first, if your a troll or not heh [04:40] Every time I check for updates I get this message: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/163952/ [04:40] <`Ned> RedSocrates, I get '/dev/scd0' [04:40] spawnery: using Windows programs should be a last resort [04:40] ysony wanted her to pay $300 to find out [04:40] spawnery, like a guardian [04:40] so she went and bought a new one for $700 [04:40] ok [04:40] spawnery, so you want word? [04:40] Banshee users - any way I can have Banshee looks at my files "as is" like Exaile and Amarok do instead of looking at the ID tags to sort my stuff? [04:40] how do i go pls sebsebseb tell me [04:40] spawnery: what is the program called? [04:41] `Ned: Can you also do a "ls /media/cdrom0" and make sure that shows up? [04:41] spawnery, you just have to install wine (latest/development version) and install it like you would on windows [04:41] wolter: stop [04:41] sebsebseb, what? [04:41] wolter: native first, wine next, virtual machine last [04:41] sebsebseb, i'm helping him.. [04:41] wolter yea [04:41] wolter: if the native stuff is good enough :) [04:41] wolter: if not word [04:41] abiword? === panfist_ is now known as panfist [04:41] sorry, but that's a failure. [04:41] wolter: yep I suggested he installed abiword, and told him how [04:41] wolter: I know what you think about these softwares :d [04:41] testing, can anyone say my name please thansk [04:42] wolter: ,but no abiword is not a failure, plus he has oepn office by defualt [04:42] panfist: ping [04:42] s/thansk/thanks/ [04:42] MS Word is abysmal under Wine if you get it to work at all [04:42] I personally can't seem to believe that there people out there who actually use Banshee.. [04:42] spawnery: that topbar/pannel click applications then go to office and you should have open office [04:42] I cheated this weekend: I went and tried Debian / mint / fluxbox / xfce / to name a few..I must say..(Ubuntu kicked all their buts hands down)...Thanks Ubuntu for a (Great) operating system that (works). [04:42] Omar87: yeah why not? [04:42] Omar87: it's great [04:42] Omar87: um... I do, it's epic, what version are you saying isn't? [04:42] how can i backup my server so i can easily restore it....im getting ready to install postfix mail server and just go everything else working good..so before i go and screw something up...i want to make a backup that is easy to restore [04:42] what didnt you like about debian === CyberScript32 is now known as Ciberglo [04:42] Hello. I have a problem connecting to a wireless router (Actionet MI424-WR provided by Verizon). My laptop Dell Inspiron 1525 with Ubuntu preinstalled detects the signal but it showa the connecting icon but never actually connects. I disabled WEP and secutiry but to no avail. Any ideas? [04:42] how can i make this happen easily [04:42] ok, 15.4 inch screen, not sure on pixel, should I just install ubuntu desktop? [04:42] Omar87: it used to suck the 8.04 version will suck, but 8.10 etc have good version [04:42] sebsebseb: It's bloated, imho. === Ciberglo is now known as ciberglo [04:43] schnickelfritz: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [04:43] sebsebseb, open office is good enough [04:43] shldbestdy: if it's 15.4, regular is good [04:43] Xcell: that's quite a mix there [04:43] <`Ned> RedSocrates, I typed 'ls /media/cdrom0' and I got 'ls: cannot access /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS: Permission denied VIDEO_TS'...then I tried adding 'sudo' and I got 'VIDEO_TS'. [04:43] Hardy Heron [04:43] sebsebseb, though its a mess with styling [04:43] spawnery: can you get open office opended? [04:43] Thanks! [04:43] Omar87: if that's bloated, what do you think isn't? [04:43] were do i see the application [04:43] sebsebseb, abiword is just... not that usable [04:43] hello there, could anyone give me a trick to read pdf documents without being tired in few time? [04:43] were do i get it pls? [04:43] hi, ati 9.4 does not have support for my card radeon x300, therefore ubuntu updates warns me that i won;t have ati support in jaunty. Is that true, or can i use ati driver version 9.3 for example(which supports x300) [04:43] M25: Songbird is the best. [04:43] spawnery: open from the assessories menu [04:44] no were do i find it [04:44] sebsebseb, if you want to save an abw into doc while editing it you have to do some magic, or it will name it with %20 where spaces go. [04:44] wolter: have you even used Koffice :) [04:44] for example... [04:44] `Ned: Uh... Hm. Do you have any idea what VIDEO_TS is? It might help if you also show me a pastebin of the output of "mount" [04:44] sebsebseb, yes.. [04:44] then? [04:44] Every time I check for updates I get this message: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/163952/ [04:44] schnickelfritz: Can you previously connect to the internet at all or this is a new laptop? [04:44] bobstro- I was talked into it by a Debian uer... so i gve 6 sytems their fair shake....none stood the tet..Ubuntu won Evry time. [04:44] spawnery: go to the office one [04:44] sebsebseb, what i like about it is that it only has like 4 styles [04:44] <`Ned> RedSocrates, I have a dvd in the drive right now...don't know if that's the reason why [04:44] spawnery: and then open open office [04:44] so its not a mess, like openoffice [04:44] Omar87: ...you're kidding me... have you seen songbird's ram usage? it's about 200MB on my system, banshee runs using 30MB... maybe just me but that's a huge difference [04:44] could anyone give me a trick to read pdf documents without being tired in few time? [04:44] `Ned: That's what I'm thinking. Hence why I need to see the output of your "mount" command [04:44] it's not in the assesries [04:44] sebsebseb, does he come from windows? [04:45] spawnery: it's under office [04:45] <`Ned> RedSocrates, do you want me to remove the dvd and try again? [04:45] ciberglo: what do you mean tired? [04:45] `Ned: In a moment, but first can you show me the output of "mount"? [04:45] wolter: I guess so, or they are just a troll [04:45] i mean i have not been able to install it in my computer [04:45] M25: Okay, Exaile rocks too. And don't tell me it's a RAM eater because it's not. [04:45] that is the problem [04:45] Yes, I was able to connect perfectly from other wireless routers on campus and at home. [04:45] spawnery: you need the menu [04:45] sebsebseb, they who? [04:45] shadow98, the easiest way is to take a snapshot of the virtual machine the server is running in. That does require that your server be in a VM. [04:45] wolter: not sure if spawney is a troll [04:45] or not [04:45] sebsebseb, ah, i don't think so.. [04:45] spawnery, are you a troll? [04:46] Omar87: exaile's great, I just prefer banshee because it works better with how I manage my music. I used exaile for months before banshee got awesome [04:46] lol, because trolls are incapable of lying [04:46] we all know this [04:46] drschupp1: heh yeah indeed [04:46] hahaha [04:46] how do you get a list of the rooms for a certain server [04:46] Hi. Guys, I need your help a second. I'm trying to make a shell script. Let's say that the first argument is "26/10/1988" [04:46] ? [04:46] ? [04:46] Severian, well this is on a physical machine...what is best way there [04:46] honestly I think most people can find the menu [04:46] drschupp1, that's why i asked him directly [04:46] [bobstro]: means small letters, a window without organization, i mean: does exists an app that shows up 2 pages in fullscreen, using the most fill page they could, and facilies the reading work? [04:46] M25: Audacious is great too. [04:46] schnickelfritz: In that case, the problem is more likely to be one with your router/internet connection isn't it? [04:46] drschupp1, so he wouldn't lie. [04:46] spawnery: do you know what a programs menu is? [04:46] is there any way of putting the 26 on a variable? [04:46] like a cut for variables? [04:46] Yes [04:46] nop [04:46] wolter: brilliant! [04:46] I think the router is somehow not compatible with Ubuntu [04:47] pls tell me [04:47] bye guys.. going to do some WARCRAFT.. III, not the World of... [04:47] shadow98, dd is probably easist. [04:47] spawnery: do you know what Windows is? [04:47] yea [04:47] However, my laptop does detect the signal! [04:47] Every time I check for updates I get this message: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/163952/ [04:47] ciberglo: everything you're describing i see in document viewer. are you running gnome? [04:47] spawnery: ok at the top you have a menu [04:47] sebsebseb, come on.. what if he is not? [04:47] Omar87: I never got audacious to work well with my library, not sure why. If you want unbloated media players, seriously stick with rhythmbox, it does very well [04:47] spawnery: press assessories [04:47] [bobstro]: yeap [04:47] spawnery: go to office [04:47] I changed the router settings so it would broadcast the SSID (/) [04:47] spawnery: open [04:47] spawnery: open office [04:47] ciberglo: so... there's your answer, no? [04:47] (?) [04:47] spawnery, don't let this sebtard treat you as a... tard.. [04:47] shadearg, but, dd takes a while for a big disk. [04:47] ciberglo: unless you mean something else by "reading"? [04:48] wolter: calling me a tard ha ha [04:48] wolter: your loyal to me, and you know it to :D [04:48] i'm most concerned about spawnery's difficulty with menus in the context of him being on IRC... [04:48] M25: Yeah, but I personally believe Songbird does it for me. :) === flaco is now known as flacom [04:48] schnickelfritz: Is there a filter on your router to explicitly allow computers to connect? [04:48] Help, ho wto install Tuxonice? [04:48] drschupp1: good point [04:48] this isn't the simplest place to get to [04:48] !tuxonice [04:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about tuxonice [04:48] ? [04:48] what is the name of the last ubuntu? jaunty? [04:48] A filter? [04:49] Stanlin: yep [04:49] spawnery: your not even on Ubuntu [04:49] spawnery: your on Opera on Windows [04:49] yes jaunty [04:49] [bobstro]: but would be great to find an app that takes a document, put 2 pages in 1, go to full screen, fit the page zooing it the most it could without erasing letters, and all automatically. does document viewer do it? [04:49] spawnery: troll! [04:49] !troll | spawnery [04:49] spawnery: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubotu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [04:49] I disabled WEP and made it an open hot spot but that doesn't work either [04:49] yea [04:49] trollz? on the interwebs? [04:49] M25: all I need in one sing place, my music, lyrics.. etc. [04:49] sebsebseb, yeah.. i know it [04:49] Omar87: use what you like man, that's the freedom of FOSS :) also, I looked up your apt problem, looks like you need to fix your RSA keys, I have a script to do that somewhere I think [04:49] ciberglo: F11 puts you in full-screen mode. you can zoom to 100% and get 2-up display if your screen is big enough. [04:49] schnickelfritz: Most router has a feature to limit who can and cannot connect to the router. Maybe you are excluded from this filter. [04:49] sebsebseb: You're allmost trolling yourself there; please stop baiting [04:50] schnickelfritz: Were you able to connect to this router previously? [04:50] ? [04:50] no [04:50] M25: Thanks man. [04:50] jken146: two trolls in a row hummm two nights in a row [04:50] [bobstro]: ok. i'll try that, but still wanting an app that fits (intelligent) 2 pages in a full screen better arranged, but thanks too much bobstro [04:50] What's the technical name of the filter so I can look for it [04:50] see'ya [04:50] schnickelfritz: Some call it MAC Filter. [04:50] ciberglo: they are side-by-side. what could be better arranged than like a book? [04:50] <`Ned> RedSocrates, ok I typed 'mount' and I got this: http://pastebin.com/m4f4e8e73 [04:51] ciberglo: you can get better than 100% size on a 22 inch monitor. [04:51] I made sure not to require MAC authentication [04:51] !suspend2 [04:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend2 [04:51] <`Ned> RedSocrates, oh yeah, I removed the dvd by the way [04:51] [bobstro]: i know, but i'm on a notebook [04:51] iwconfig doesn't show ath0 interface anymore. any ideas? [04:51] !apparmor [04:51] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [04:51] `Ned: Did you remove the dvd before typing the "mount" command? [04:51] Omar87: found the script, I'll pastebin it for ya, do you know how to use chmod, sudo, and such to make it runnable and work? [04:51] I suspect it has to do with broadcasting me an IP address ...the DHCP thing [04:51] ciberglo: well... you're on a small screen! [04:51] yeap, 15' [04:51] <`Ned> RedSocrates, yes [04:51] ciberglo: two-up display will have to be small size, of course. [04:51] schnickelfritz: Use an Ethernet Cable to connect to the router. Does it work? [04:52] ciberglo: just read them one-up, not two-up. [04:52] M25: Yeah, I use them all the time. :) [04:52] I am using the ethernet cable to communicate here now [04:52] [bobstro]: yeap, like a book, and could be more: take a page, and if it doesn't fit 100% of height, than up the height of that page, and if the second page can be arranged in width, do that [04:52] `Ned: D'oh, didn't want you to do that. Put the dvd back in and then show me the output of the mount command [04:52] ciberglo: or do you want auto-scroll like that? [04:52] [bobstro]: you know what i mean? [04:52] http://paste2.org/p/197414 [04:52] I just want to be able to connect wirelessly and not be hooked to this room [04:52] <`Ned> RedSocrates, oops sorry....ok I'll do that [04:52] ciberglo: i think you want "continuous" display [04:52] `Ned: k, no prob [04:52] [bobstro]: no, auto scroll is not the point, but for someone would be great [04:53] [bobstro]: yeah, maybe is that [04:53] Omar87: http://paste2.org/p/197414 [04:53] [bobstro]: an auto-arrange function to facilite the lecture [04:53] Help!!

[04:53] [bobstro]: hehe [04:53] ciberglo: what do you mean auto-arrange? they're books. [04:53] Stanlin: Add/Remove programs, in your menu on the top left, search for it, check the box, hit apply [04:54] ciberglo: most of the problem you seem to have is display size, not the reader software. [04:54] [bobstro]: i'm talking about editable text, and i mean: thats cause i'm not usa, i'm from brazil, poor english, let me think here [04:54] i need shell can any body help me/ [04:54] ciberglo: oh, a PDF EDITOR is something else entirely. i've yet to find one that really worked well.

[04:57] spawnery: please cease causing trouble. Thanks. [04:57] [bobstro]: thks [04:57] ciberglo: In open office writer, have you tried View > Zoom > Optimal? [04:57] spawn_dovery@yahoo.co.uk, sa1ma52la@spawnery.comuf.com [04:57] Hi any good tutorial about bash programming? [04:58] `Ned: Okay. That shows that it's automounting. Can you remind me what you're doing in GNOME to access it, and what error it's giving you? [04:58] [bobstro]: oh, just 1 thing, do you have a tip about irc's software, a good well? [04:58] you got that? [04:58] !bash [04:58] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:58] Stanlin: I don't have it either, where did you hear about it? [04:58] [jken146]: well, not yet, will try, but still thinking it won't do what i want, haha, but thks, will try [04:58] spawnery: your street address. it's a big box. [04:58] M25: http://www.tuxonice.net/ [04:58] i dont have that [04:59] can't you send it online to me? [04:59] ciberglo: i use xchat, but i'm just lazy [04:59] no street address? you live in a po box? [04:59] spawnery: it's hard to fit the box [04:59] spawnery: what's your phone number. we should talk about this. [04:59] Stanlin: oh, ubuntu already has a hibernate function, click on the power buton in the upper right corner of your screen, select hibernate [04:59] [bobstro]: ok, thks [04:59] !ot [04:59] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:59] you wanna call me? [05:00] M25: doesnt work, it fails and crash my laptop [05:00] spawnery: we all want to call you, yes. [05:00] Alright guys, enough with the offtopic. [05:00] Stanlin: tuxonice won't work any better, as far as I've heard. what model laptop? I used to have the same issue [05:00] [bobstro]: oh, do you know a program that parses WUBI installation to a particioned installation, without loosing personalized data i've already made in my ubuntu wubi installation? [05:00] M25: Executed the script, but the problem is still there. [05:00] !ot | bobstro, spawnery [05:00] bobstro, spawnery: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:00] <`Ned> RedSocrates, since the cd/dvd drive icon does not automatically show up in 'Places' when I upgrade to 9.04, I access it by Places > Computer > CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive, then I click on 'Moun Volume', then it says 'Unable to mount location. Can't mount file.' [05:00] can you call my computer? [05:00] i have mic to listen [05:01] with sudo I assume? [05:01] M25: Yes [05:01] ciberglo: upgrade? [05:01] Omar87: weird, what server are you trying to pull from? [05:01] [bobstro]: what? [05:01] does ubuntu automaticly recognize that you have a External monitor connected to it and the internal monitor closed when you are starting it ? [05:01] ciberglo: you can upgrade the old installation. [05:01] [bobstro]: but how? i'm already using 9.04 [05:01] Flannel: about time [05:02] guys i keep getting this tracker error popping up, what should i do? http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/8703/trackererror.png [05:02] sebsebseb: He was only a problem because people kept talking to hi, [05:02] ok [05:02] Brando753: Have you tried reindexing? [05:02] Flannel: I guess so, and he is back [05:02] `Ned: Let's talk in private messages, I'm going to paste a few commands and such [05:02] ciberglo: i don't understand what you mean, sorry. [05:02] <`Ned> RedSocrates, ok [05:03] [bobstro]: you know about ubuntu wubi installation? [05:03] I hit reindex all content, cancel, and ok it just keeps popping up the same box right after i click [05:03] ciberglo: yes, run it on my laptop now. [05:03] M25: WTH it works [05:03] ciberglo: i upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 recently. [05:03] M25: amazing [05:03] Stanlin: you're welcome I guess? :) [05:03] Stanlin: don't know what I did [05:04] bobstor, ok, installed from another operacional system, and works like: install a 15GB (or another) file, that represents all the disk., and is emulated, than you reboot your machine, they shows at mbr, but you can desinstall it from windows (for example) [05:04] [bobstro]: see up [05:04] any idea on why i keep getting this tracker error? === TheFunkbomb is now known as qrstuvwxyz [05:04] M25: thank you, now im going to setup all the hardware, and see if i dont crash anymore [05:04] dada? === qrstuvwxyz is now known as TheFunkbomb [05:04] wada? [05:04] Brando753: No [05:04] ;( [05:04] [bobstro]: now, i installed it like that, and want to moves to a particioned hd, but without loosing my data (i have a beautiful and great ubuntu right now), you know how can i do that? [05:05] ciberglo: yes, you can un-install it easily. it's just a file used by loopback for mounting. [05:05] OH! [05:05] ciberglo: i gotcha [05:05] [bobstro]: so, could you help? [05:05] ciberglo: new install is on same system, or another one? [05:05] spawnery: How can we help you today? [05:05] how can I know what process is using an USB disk [05:05] Brando753: If you don't use tracker at all, I'd disable it if I were you, but only if you don't need it [05:05] what does it even do? [05:05] ciberglo: type bob and press tab to auto complete :) [05:06] Brando753: It indexes your files for faster searching [05:06] [bobstro]: new install is on same system? what? i have windows and ubuntu installed from that, now i want to moves ubuntu to a particioned hd (still my hd, but particioned one) [05:06] Brando753: Useful if you use deskbar search or gnome-do a lot; otherwise it's pretty much just a drain on resources [05:06] [sebsebseb]: yeap, but bob[tab] shows another person, i tryed that, and still believes my irc soff is a she*t [05:06] jken146, Brando753 you might want to tell him about Locate, I ditched tracker for that quite a while ago [05:06] ciberglo: yeah you use the mouse to select the correct one [05:07] [sebsebseb]: man, i have so many ideas, if i'd a better programmer, i'd create that, would be famous [05:07] ciberglo: well, a lot of ways. easiest might be to install ubuntu to new partition, then mount old loopback. or just copy your home directory (including hidden files) while running wubi, then copy back from new system. [05:07] hi, ati 9.4 does not have support for my card radeon x300, therefore ubuntu update-manager warns me that i won't have 3d support in jaunty. Is that true, or can i use fglrx driver version 9.3 for example(which supports x300) [05:07] !locate [05:07] locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb [05:07] ciberglo: wubi is only good for trying [05:07] ciberglo: partition your hard disk for real :) [05:07] !nvidia [05:07] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:07] when i attempt to install ubuntu, i get the following error: "input/output error when writing to /dev/sda" and install aborts [05:07] [bobstro]: but my installed softwares, and etc., they would not be backed up [05:07] ciberglo: wubi not that good for long term Ubuntu usage [05:08] [sebsebseb]: i know, and want to do that with my already ubuntu backed up, know how? [05:08] ciberglo: make a dump of the install packages. argh... i've forgotten the steps, but have done it often with debian installs. [05:08] ciberglo: no and it's not recommended to try to do such things with a wubi install [05:08] [sebsebseb]: cause i just compiled a new kernel more powerfull, personalized gnome, installed programs, don't want to loose them [05:08] ciberglo: just get any data backed up, and start over with a proper parttioend install [05:08] [bobstro]: ok, will search about that, thks dude [05:08] ciberglo: dpkg --get-selections on old, save that to file, then dpkg --set-selections. [05:09] ciberglo: well doing certain things twice or more is a good way to make, sure you know how to do it [05:09] ciberglo: then apt-get dselect-upgrade [05:09] ciberglo: and what's wrong with the kernel in ubuntu repo? [05:09] [bobstro]: thks, will try that [05:09] ciberglo: You can also copy .deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives/ to your new install to save having to download them twice [05:09] ciberglo: like i said, LOTS of ways to do it. [05:09] Hello, I'm new to ubuntu. I have an issue with sound. I have sound at the login screen/when i'm logging in, but once i'm in an account, I no longer have sound. Any suggestions would be welcome [05:10] [sebsebseb]: well, some things [05:10] also, I have been getting a anoying partial upgrade that keeps popping up during log in or in the middle of a session http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6721/partialupgrade.png no matter how many times i hit partial upgrade it keeps popping up later [05:10] ciberglo: such as? [05:10] jken146: i'm just not sure about details of mounting the loopback off an ntfs partition to do that. otherwise, he could copy home directory same way. [05:10] [sebsebseb]: i still didn't fell like this new ubuntu is fast enough [05:10] jken146: should work fine, but hard to explain :) [05:10] ciberglo: so use another file system to make it faster [05:10] ciberglo: boots nice and fast now! [05:10] [sebsebseb]: fill* ? [05:10] oublic: have you opened up sound control? [05:10] ciberglo: wubi will be slower [05:10] ciberglo: also a wubi install won't work as well as a real partitioned one [05:11] when i attempt to install ubuntu, i get the following error: "input/output error when writing to /dev/sda" and install aborts. Is this a hardware issue or else? [05:11] [bobstro]: well, at your installation, cause mine at wubi is powerless [05:11] [sebsebseb]: yeap, but i noticed that that would be just a small lost [05:11] drschupp1: yes, i've messed with sound control and made sure that every possible volume control is maxed, still no volume [05:11] at speed [05:11] bobstro: I know almost nothing about wubi, sorry [05:11] Anyone ever try disabling their Touchpad on their laptop? Looks like synclient and/or syndaemon will do it but haven't found the right resource yet to disbale under Xubuntu. I never use it so turning it off for good would be great. [05:11] smadge: sounds to me like hardware, can you try installing on a different drive? [05:12] ciberglo: it works. i will eventually re-partition, but i got a new laptop drive and the entire thing gets replaced next week. i much prefer giving ubuntu it's own partition! [05:12] [bobstro]: sebsebseb, do you ever noticed about omnislash kernel? [05:12] also, I have been getting a anoying partial upgrade that keeps popping up during log in or in the middle of a session http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6721/partialupgrade.png no matter how many times i hit partial upgrade it keeps popping up later [05:12] jken146: it uses a loopback filesystem on the ntfs partition. so you can mount the ntfs, and then presumably the loopback off that. [05:12] ref WUBI .. I could not get 9.04 to install at all with WUBI this time [05:12] M25: i have a single internal ssd drive [05:12] minazo: How about turning it off in the BIOS? [05:12] [bobstro]: yeap, its a nice idea, i will do that soonly [05:12] [sebsebseb]: you ever know about omnislash kernel? [05:12] ciberglo: use Ext4 or JFS or somethign like that when you partition [05:13] [sebsebseb]: ok, will try that [05:13] now going for a dualboot solution with Win XP pro [05:13] mine *was* dual-boot until the drive got killed. [05:13] does ubuntu automaticly recognize that you have a External monitor connected to it and the internal monitor closed when you are starting it ? [05:13] ciberglo: just keep any data you want to be sure not to lose backed up elsewhere if your going Ext4. and Ext3 is the default [05:13] Guys, I have been getting a anoying partial upgrade that keeps popping up during log in or in the middle of a session http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6721/partialupgrade.png no matter how many times i hit partial upgrade it keeps popping up later [05:13] well guys, thks too much, but its 1am here in brazil, and tomorrow i have test, so, thks too much and see'ya [05:13] zChris: Try it and find out? [05:13] [sebsebseb]: ok, wil try, thks man [05:14] jken146: i rather not since my internal monitor is broken atm [05:14] ciberglo: good luck. again. [05:14] ciberglo: that kernel sounds like something I might have heard of [05:14] [bobstro]: thks, bye man [05:14] smadge: does the drive currently have anything on it [05:14] ? [05:14] ciberglo: ,but 9.04's kernel is good [05:14] zChris: If your internal monitor is broken then what have you got to lose? [05:14] HI, I'm upgrading Ubuntu to 9.04, how to pause updating and continue the next time? [05:14] jken146: that i cant boot it into windows [05:14] fikr: you can't [05:15] [sebsebseb]: so much patched, optimized, prefer's that one, but will give another try to this 9.04's kernel, but will recompile it too, haha [05:15] zChris: I don't see how it could prevent you from doing that [05:15] [sebsebseb]: bye man [05:15] jken146: how would i know what to do if i dont see anything [05:16] Guys, I have been getting a anoying partial upgrade that keeps popping up during log in or in the middle of a session http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6721/partialupgrade.png no matter how many times i hit partial upgrade it keeps popping up later, what can i do??? [05:16] sebsebseb: is there any alternative way? [05:16] zChris: In theory, it should work, because of the way xorg now configures itself. But the only sure way to find out with any particular set of hardware is to try it [05:16] fikr: no and just let it install [05:16] jken146: okey i think i pass this time [05:16] is there a python-tlslite package available in the repos? i can't seem to find one [05:16] fikr: cancancalling an install will make the partition go bad, or you will have to start over from scratch [05:16] fikr: Ubuntu is quick to install [05:16] zChris: When you turn your computer on with an external screen attached, do you see anything? [05:16] jken146: didn't think about that I might be able to disable it via the BIOS...it's worth a try. Thanks. [05:16] fikr: you don't pause the install of operating systems half way through [05:17] jken146: no, it only show video when im at the login section in Win Vista [05:17] sebsebseb: I mean downloading, downloading is too slow [05:17] fikr: you can get from another mirror [05:17] fikr: md5sum the ISO before burning by the way [05:17] !md5sum [05:17] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [05:17] zChris: But what about the motherboard messages, BIOS etc? [05:17] fikr: get from a mirror that is near to where you live [05:17] zChris: and GRUB? Do you see GRUB? [05:18] jken146: nope, its showing on the internal monitor which is broken [05:18] Is there a way to increase the amount of space between the beginning of a window title and the edge of the screen? [05:18] M25: About the server, I'm not sure. How can I find out? [05:18] fikr: or bittorrent perhaps? [05:18] sebsebseb: now is step1 "Preparing to upgrade", how to set to another mirror? [05:18] Omar87: in Software Sources, first tab, next to Download From: what's selected? [05:18] is there a python-tlslite package available in the repos? i can't seem to find one [05:18] fikr: oh an upgrade not clean install [05:18] How do I get the Orb screenlet to work? [05:18] ieatnoobs, Move the window down [05:19] fikr: oh, the packages you mean? [05:19] M25: Main server. [05:19] Severian: On the left side [05:19] zChris: Oh I see. In that case, I believe there's nothing you can do with certainty. Sorry [05:19] bobstro: downloading the upgrade [05:19] ieatnoobs, move it to the right [05:19] sebsebseb: ??? [05:19] Omar87: if you're in the U.S., try selecting Server For United States, made everything faster for me [05:20] fikr: gotcha. [05:20] Severian: When it's maximized [05:20] pace_t_zulu, What python module are you trying to get? [05:20] can you upgrade off a cd? i never tried. [05:20] Bobstro: Yup [05:20] M25: No, not in the U.S., I'm in the middle east. Jordan to be specific. [05:20] M25, Omar87 : The main server is on the Isle of Man IIRC [05:20] arrrrgh, i cannot get ubuntu to work on a macbook pro [05:20] Severian python-tlslite [05:20] hacim: Ditch the Mac. [05:21] ieatnoobs: ok, done, now what [05:21] Omar87: There's a tool to automatically select the fastest server. Select Other Server, Best Server I think [05:21] hacim: Install it..? What's the problem [05:21] Omar87: You will almost certainly see a big difference by choosing a local mirror. There is even a button to click in Software Sources that finds the fastest server for you [05:21] how can i make gthumb the default image viewer for image files [05:21] ieatnoobs, I never maximize windows. I just tried it and the answer is No, you can't increase the space, as fas as I know. [05:22] ieatnoobs: i install, reboot, then only get "GRUB" and nothing else. I've reinstalled grub, but to no avail [05:22] Hacim: Can you use GRUB? [05:22] Severian: Damn. Can you append a space before every window title? [05:22] Sagaci: It's in the properties box for that file [05:22] ieatnoobs: no, I only get GRUB printed in the upper left corner, and nothing else [05:23] pace_t_zulu, You got that package name from somewhere. Put that out of your mind for a moment. What Python module do you want? In your Python program, you are going to import something. What is that name? [05:23] ieatnoobs: it depends on your metacity theme actually [05:23] Hacim: Sounds like a problem in GRUB. [05:23] m25: I'm using Compiz [05:23] ieatnoobs: are you using emerald? if not, then your metacity theme is still applying [05:23] ieatnoobs: i know that [05:24] M25: I am using emerald [05:24] hacim: Boot off a live CD and reinstall GRUB [05:24] ieatnoobs, probably. Try that in the menu editor to start the program. [05:24] Severian: Try what in Menu editor? [05:24] ieatnoobs: there's a emerald theme editor somewhere in synaptic that'll let you mess with it and make it look like anything you like [05:24] M25: Hmm [05:24] The one for ubuntu. [05:24] ieatnoobs, The one for ubuntu. [05:25] Severian: Where do I find it? What's the package [05:25] ieatnoobs, System/Preferences/Main Menu [05:25] ieatnoobs: i already did that [05:26] Hacim: You reinstalled GRUB? [05:26] did 9.04 fix the dug that kills the laptop battery [05:26] ieatnoobs: yes [05:26] I'm in main menu, what now? [05:26] Sevarian: What do I do in main menu? [05:27] ieatnoobs, Look for the program you want to change the title of. Try changing the title. I have not tried that myself, but it is likely to be there. [05:27] Sevarian: I want to change every single window title [05:27] m25: Where is that? [05:28] <`Ned> RedSocrates got my dvd drive working again! yay! [05:28] M25: Where would I find stuff like that? [05:28] :D [05:28] Took us a while [05:28] ieatnoobs: one sec, I'll see if it's in Add/Remove programs [05:28] M25: Thanks [05:28] RedSocrates: So what's the problem actually? [05:28] Has anyone else heard/seen anything about a bug in Jaunty regarding the mounting of CDs/DVDs? [05:29] ieatnoobs, good luck. I think I would try one or two to see if it gives you the effect you want first. [05:29] I would like to know if ubuntu 9.04 fix the dug that kills the laptop battery [05:29] ieatnoobs: go to System->Administration->Synaptic in your menu [05:29] khensthoth: For some reason his drive wouldn't mount when the options in /etc/fstab were "udf,iso9660"; he had to switch it around to "iso9660,udf" [05:29] RedSocrates I ahve nto yet had that problem [05:29] usser: i've concluded my notebook lacks bluetooth [05:29] wow typing bad this morning [05:29] Lol [05:29] I've heard this is a bug, but can't currently find anything about it [05:29] I juts heard someone say [05:29] Would like to report it or confirm it [05:29] RedSocrates: And switching fixed it? [05:29] ieatnoobs: synaptic is the more advanced version of Add/Remove, lets you install/uninstall less common and more advanced stuff [05:30] khensthoth: Right [05:30] "It says thirteen thousand kilobytes, not thirteen megabytes!" *Sigh.* [05:30] M25: Okay. What's the package? [05:30] khensthoth: As I say, I've heard of this being a bug, but can't currently find anything about it [05:30] <`Ned> RedSocrates, all I know is the first time I mentioned this problem in here, another person said he was having the same problem with jaunty...and just like me, he had no problem with the cd drive, just the dvd drive [05:30] `Ned: Interesting. Yeah, I'm looking to see if I can find anything [05:30] ieatnoobs: not sure, searching [05:30] M25: Kay. [05:31] is it possible to turn my cell phone into a modem for my notebook (through a data cable , not bluetooth) ? [05:31] `Ned: In any case, things should be fine for you now, as long as you use ISO disks, which are pretty much standard. If you ever end up with a UDF disk, for now you'll apparently have to switch the "iso9660,udf" options back around [05:31] <`Ned> RedSocrates, yes, I tried googling for it too and couldn't find anything either [05:31] some webpage content (either flash or java) is not working properly, need help [05:31] `Ned: So you might want to make a note of what we needed to change in case that problem comes up [05:31] Guys, I have been getting a anoying partial upgrade that keeps popping up during log in or in the middle of a session http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6721/partialupgrade.png no matter how many times i hit partial upgrade it keeps popping up later, what can i do??? [05:31] `Ned: Thanks for following along with the experimentation. :) Glad we got it working [05:31] http://www.scribd.com/doc/28415/Why-I-fired-by-secretary-today [05:32] <`Ned> RedSocrates, yes I will. again, thanks so much! [05:32] `Ned: You're welcome. Enjoy! [05:32] harovali, Yes. I have seen people do that at our Linux group. === sexybaaron is now known as ldinh [05:32] how do i tell if something is flash or java on a webpage? [05:32] harovali, Don't ask me how. But, you asked if it was possible. [05:32] in firefox === ldinh is now known as sexybaaron [05:33] jon_: right click. [05:33] Severian: thanks [05:33] Severian: by data cable right ? [05:34] right clicking does not give any hint, unless it is neither [05:34] harovali, Yes, by data cable. Maybe I should add that the ability to do this varies from phone to phone, I am sure. [05:34] jon_:Then it's probably neither. [05:34] i am having a problem with web content, various websites, same problem, applets load initial screen, but after reloading it freezes [05:34] Help please! i am trying to install vmware workstation and it shows me a message that canoot be intalled when kvm enabled,anyone thanx [05:34] firefox does not freeze, but the applet stops changing [05:35] jon_:What website is it? [05:35] Anyone want to help me figure out why Bluetooth isn't working? [05:35] Severian: yes , thanks again [05:35] jon__: check the page source] [05:35] i had this with hulu, a few others, and the one i am trying to use now is http://www.viainfo.net/BusService/InteractiveMap.aspx [05:35] can anyone recommend an irssi guide for noobs [05:36] panfist: /join #irssi [05:36] what can I do? now my mouse only works randomly when i plug it int.. [05:36] panfist: then ask away :) [05:36] in** [05:36] it loads, but when i click check box next to show stops, it shows a loading sign, then freezes [05:36] Bluetooth is dyyyiiiinnngg [05:36] but it works sometimes.. and it is detected by lsusb [05:37] anyone have word on the dmraid issue in 2.6.28? [05:37] wolter, My best guess would be a dying mouse. But, it could be the USB port. [05:37] jon__: that's purely Javascript, has no applet involved. [05:37] oh, but does it work for you, if you check bus stops? [05:38] Severian, nah.. its a new computer. Besides, it started happening since the night I upgraded to jaunty, [05:38] jon__: I have the same problem, I think its either a) poorly coded, or b) not working in Firefox [05:38] jon__: sec, I'll try it in webkit, see if its any better [05:38] Helpers i have installed windows xp and linux,and now when i do restart or maybe coz i have upgrade to 9.04 i cant see windows xp just ubuntu,anyone plz ? [05:38] Oop... [05:38] It seems is a port problem.. [05:39] Wolf23: did you use Wubi? [05:39] But the thing is, I plug it in one port. It doesn't work. I plug it into another and works, then I replug it on the first plug I tried and works! [05:39] Its so weird. [05:39] What could it be? [05:39] M25: no i installed windows xp and then linux without any program [05:40] jon_: It does work for me in Firefox. [05:40] jon__: I could be mistaken, but I think that map is neither java or flash [05:40] It looks like a clever ajax javascript [05:40] that doesnt work :P [05:40] Wolf23: I think ubottu might have a link to this one, one sec [05:40] wolter, it could be a driver problem. I've seen that every once in a while. It has to do with which mouse driver is loaded. Try an old mouse, if you have one. If it works OK, then you might have to force the intellimouse or whatever the new one is called. [05:40] !grub [05:40] 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 [05:40] nope, wrong order... hm [05:41] actually, south park was another thing that did not load, but i just tried it and it worked, strange [05:41] Wolf23: you might have overwritten XP with Ubuntu on accident... [05:41] M25: also i am trying to install vmware workstation and it shows me a message that cannot be intalled when kvm enabled [05:41] jon__: actually, seems to be working okay in both browsers, just slow loading. [05:41] Severian, what do you mean force? [05:41] with* [05:41] wolter, it sounds like you made progress. Hopefully, it will stay working. [05:41] Wolf23: I don't use vmware, I have no idea how to help on that one, but I can tell you how to know if XP is still installed or if you accidentally overwrote it [05:41] i will try more and get back on if i have this problem again [05:41] guys i keep getting this partial upgrade appearing, what should i do? http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6721/partialupgrade.png [05:42] wolter, you can edit the xorg.conf file to load a specific driver. [05:42] M25: no coz i work about one week windows xp and linux [05:42] jon__: if you mean the south park website, that's mostly flash. [05:42] Oh... [05:42] just upgraded to 9.04 from 8.10. how can i make sure im using xine backend for totem and not gstreamer? [05:42] ok, thanks for the help, i will see how it goes [05:42] M25: ok :) [05:43] R1cochet, You could delete gstreamer and see if it still works. [05:43] all gstreamer packs? [05:43] hi guys I have a question [05:43] is there a way of telling what type of processor I have in my netbook using ubuntu? [05:43] R1cochet, OK. all or some. [05:44] like gstreamer0.10-alsa and 0.10-plugins-base..... [05:44] hey guys, my ubuntu's backslash is being shown as an e with a little slash on it (French Canadian)? I changed the language I believe but doesnt seem to have helped [05:44] R1cochet, Deleteing video codec does not make any difference to playing a mp3. That is why I hedge.. Delete them or not. [05:44] Wolf23: use Add/Remove programs (in your menu on the upper right) to install Partition Editor [05:45] im using for video tho [05:45] I would like to know if ubuntu 9.04 fix the dug that kills the laptop battery+ [05:45] nathan_406: where did you hear about this bug? [05:46] nathan_406: i've just installed on a laptop and have a long trip coming up! [05:46] What does acpi=noirq do? [05:46] bobstro: slashdot [05:47] R1cochet, libgstreamer0.10-0 would be a good choice, if you want one. It seems crucial. [05:47] my battery is dead [05:47] ieatnoobs: disable the PCI IRQ routing [05:47] and so too are my friends [05:47] nathan_406, That is sad. Who cares about your battery? [05:47] M25: i open add/remove but i cant see about the partition? [05:47] from using ubuntu 8 [05:48] I have two identical hdd's .. both 250 gb seagates.. one is the one I want to run and be primary, and the other has data I want to pull off it, .. but. apparently grub and the bootable point is on the other drive, so I have to have it plugged in to boot the primary drive.. how can I get grub on the primary.. so that it doesn't depend on the other drive to boot? [05:48] khensthtoth: What does that do? [05:48] nathan_406: do you have a link? i'm not finding anything searching on "ubuntu battery" [05:48] Wolf23: Add/Remove is just to install the program to let you see the partitions, you need to search for Partition and install Partition editor, check the box next to it and hit Apply [05:48] ieatnoobs: Actually, I have no idea. I just copied that off the BootOptions page. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [05:49] bobstro: just a sec [05:49] nathan_406: This it? http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09%2F01%2F17%2F2127254&from=rss [05:49] how to copy all files listed by 'find . | grep foo | xargs ls' to a given folder ? [05:49] Is it safe? [05:49] I have some questions about Ubuntu, a few dozen so if anyone has time to talk let me know [05:50] M25: it says there is no matching partition available [05:50] ieatnoobs: Again, no idea. [05:50] hey [05:50] CoJaBo: yes that is it [05:51] Mogbert: ask away. [05:51] Khensthoth: Well thanks :P [05:51] bobstro: this is the link -> http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09%2F01%2F17%2F2127254&from=rss [05:51] Mogbert, maybe we should do this in a private chat. I [05:51] ieatnoobs: Sorry I am a noob, and I am afraid I might get eaten. =) [05:51] hi all, how can i restart or stop/start dsl broadband connection in ubuntu 9.04 using CLI? [05:51] Haha it's k [05:52] hsinam, sudo ifdown eth0 [05:52] is there a guide for installing from alternate cd? [05:52] Severian: uh...taking a mighty guess there aren't you [05:52] Wolf23: better idea, open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and type the following into it: sudo apt-get install gparted [05:52] Update manager is really irritating me tonight. it keeps popping up every so often for apparently no reason at all. Is there an easy way to suppress this to something like boot time? I still want to run updates, but not every 5 minutes. [05:53] cast, It is the most likely choice. But, yes it is a guess. [05:53] Also, I have it set to check for updates weekly [05:53] Severian: it says interface eth0 not configured. actually the interface is setup by NetworkManager 0.7 . using GUI i can start stop the DSL connection [05:53] nathan_406: you say your BATTERY is dead? [05:53] M25: ok i installed it from add/remove [05:54] nathan_406: because that's an article about HARD DISK life being shortened [05:54] bobstro: completely dead! and need to plug in every time i want to use it [05:54] Wolf23: ok, open it, in System->Administration->Partition Editor [05:54] hsinam, what does network manager call the connection? Or go to a terminal prompt and type ifconfig [05:54] nathan_406: how old is the batter? [05:55] nathan_406: they do die after all! [05:55] M25: how can i know if windows xp still or not? [05:56] how many partitions are there? you should see one for ubuntu, one for swap, and if there's another one (probably before those two) that's your XP one [05:56] if there's only two, that's your problem right there [05:56] i got my pc last year! not that old [05:56] Does not compute [05:56] nathan_406, My last two laptops did not have batteries. Batteries in laptops are overrated. [05:56] can someone please look at my ProFTPd config and tell me why I can connect using userftp account but not anonymous? http://paste.ubuntu.com/163915 [05:56] nathan_406: sounds like a warranty issue then. you are in luck! [05:56] anyone in here using conky? [05:57] syntax\: I use conky every now and then [05:57] syntax\: yep, what about it? [05:57] syntax\, yes. All my crunchbang machines use it. [05:57] Severian: the network connections are called eth0 and ppp0 as per output of ifconfig [05:57] mmm, crunchbang [05:57] how can i increase the font size? hehe [05:57] Help!! why Virtual MAchine Manager (KVM) is showing the CDrom greyed??? [05:57] syntax\: #conky would be a better place for this, but I know how, one sec [05:58] M25: i cant see windows xp, [05:58] CoJaBo: Thats the title ->"Ubuntu's Laptop Killing Bug Fixed" [05:58] Wolf23: then somehow it got deleted probably, are there only two partitions? [05:58] Hi, does anyone know how to edit a pre existing battle for wesnoth campaign? [05:58] M25: no one is answering @ #conky [05:58] hehe [05:58] bobstro: Thats the title ->"Ubuntu's Laptop Killing Bug Fixed" [05:58] nathan_406: yes, it is about laptop HARD DRIVES dying, not BATTERIES [05:58] M25: there are many, i show you the screenshot on pm [05:59] syntax\: It's something simple like ${font size 16} or ${fontsize 16} I think, but M25 will let you know I guess [05:59] nathan_406: read the ORIGINAL article it links to, as well as the ubuntu page on the problem (which is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DanielHahler/Bug59695 if you are lazy) [05:59] syntax\: when specifying the font, put :size=12 or after the name, with a space between it and the name [05:59] or, no... Maybe it's ${font xxxx size 16}, heh... I dunno [05:59] syntax\, the .conkrc file has settings for the font. [05:59] bobstro: where did it say that! just want to know [05:59] Hello all, I have Jaunty installed on my machine, I also installed flashplugin-installer from repos, but Firefox still says missing plugin what to do? please help me [05:59] nathan_406: bobstro is right. The hard drive issue was not about batteries [05:59] nathan_406: i READ THE ARTICLE that it mentioned as the original [05:59] does anybody know how to edit pre existing campaigns in battle for wesnoth? [06:00] nathan_406: It was a specific issue having to do with power management settings set by hard drive manufacturers, and it has been fixed. [06:00] Wolf23: my battery is dying, I've only got about 10 minutes left [06:00] nathan_406: the battery applet will give you status about your battery health -- i think you just do "about" (sorry, not on my laptop now) [06:01] GTG: nope, but it's good to hear somebody else who's heard of that game :) a friend of mine got pretty into it [06:01] syntax\, sorry, that should have been .conkyrc [06:01] !torrent [06:01] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [06:01] M25: Do you know where I could try to find out in? [06:01] @ Severian, M25: was able to figure it out. im on jackalope and conky has a conky_conf. under /etc/conky hehehe [06:02] Severian: i had tried sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart, it worked partially. eth0 was up afterward but ppp0 was down. To get connected to internet, i again have to click on networkmanager applet and choose DSL 1 connection [06:02] another question tho, alignr is to align right, alignc is to align center. what is for align left? [06:03] syntax\: IIRC, there is no align left, because that's the default. [06:03] hsinam, Is your dsl modem plugged into your ubuntu machine? [06:03] which file does gnome-session-properties edit?? [06:03] sound works from the live cd but not from my hard drive install [06:03] How can I start the Ubuntu 8.10 desktop CD live using the irqpoll kernel parameter? [06:04] If so, you might hae tried sudo ifdown ppp0 But, really the answer is don't do that. Get a router/firewall. It makes your system more secure. I recommend ipcop or pfSense on an old machine. [06:04] bobstro: RedSocrates: ok! if you guys say so! guess i was wrong, but i just wanted to know. Hope i didnt scary anyone [06:04] nathan_406: you gotta read the whole thing! :) [06:05] RedSocrates: okies thanks ^^ [06:05] I have Jaunty installed on my machine, I also installed flashplugin-installer from repos, but Firefox still says missing plugin what to do? please help me [06:05] syntax\: no prob === baskingshark is now known as paul68 [06:05] Severian: yes it is plugged. i can use it perfectly using the networkmanager applet. however, i want to be able to stop the internet connection after specified interval of time. that why i need to actual command. in ubuntu 8.04, sudo poff dsl-provider used to work. [06:06] syntax\, I am glad you got it. It sounds like Ubuntu does not use the default location. I am going to add it to a Jaunty VM later tonight. So, that info may be useful to me. Good luck. [06:06] bobstro: RedSocrates: Just wanna let you know i told my lecture late and his dies week after! He was really upset. But we are still ubuntu personnels [06:06] whats with the "the version of mplayer used is obselete, get a newer one" when using smplayer.. jaunty with medibuntu and all updates. [06:07] anyone tell me how to disable kvm? [06:07] Severian: yes. :D thanks again [06:07] it works ok.. im just wondering [06:07] nathan_406: his battery or his hard disk. or his dog? [06:07] Wolf23: blacklist the module? [06:07] nathan_406: i'd be upset with any of those, but i wouldn't blame ubuntu! [06:07] cast: thanx but how, can u tell me the path please [06:08] Wolf23: you don't need a path to blacklist, only a module name [06:08] cast: where is it? tell me coz i cant see it [06:08] bobstro: :) his battery! [06:09] nathan_406: i go through a battery a year or so. they don't last forever. [06:09] nathan_406: one of mine is currently at 60% of when it was new. i always have two. [06:10] mhm [06:10] I use in firefox 3.10 the webdeveloper toolbar however I have to activate it each time, is there a way to activate it through the config settings? [06:10] how can i install open logo's font for ubuntu/ [06:10] nathan_406: look at it in the battery power applet -- it will tell you the health of your battery. [06:10] ok [06:10] anyone know why sound would play in dragonplayer, kde logon/off, but not vlc or gnome logon/logoff? [06:11] Anyone else getting random crashes with the latest x86 32-bit Ubuntu 9.04? I'm running it on a Thinkpad T500 and I upgraded from 8.something. [06:11] how can i share my internet if firestarter dosnt work [06:11] Counterspell: X freezes? [06:11] brandon___: there may be a way to do it via iptables [06:11] !p2p [06:11] Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information [06:11] brandon___: there an ipmasq package? i presume you mean NAT when you say "share" [06:11] how I install themes -kth in kde 4.3 [06:11] C-S-B: yes but I also can't ctrl-alt-F1 when it happens so i'm not sure it's just X [06:12] 4.2 sorry [06:12] so i trashed my home directory... its fine, I have backups. but I can't login to fix it [06:12] Counterspell: Does your thinkpad have an intel gfx chipset? [06:12] C-S-B: I think it has both intel and ATI and I should have the ATI switched on. === sourcode is now known as Guest20673 [06:13] how can I login as root? [06:13] mmm... you could try a new driver. Is it happening at specific times, as random as it may be -like quick scrolling in firefox ... [06:13] hacim: what for? [06:14] hacim: You can edit the kernel boot line when grub starts up and add "single" to the end of the line. But it'd be easier to just use a LiveCD [06:14] !sudo | hacim [06:14] hacim: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[06:15] scunizi: probably, but i'd prefer not to have to reboot to do that [06:16] I think it is a bug in 9.04 but nautilus doesn't open and right-click doesn't work on desktop. there are no icons on the desktop [06:16] hacim: sudo -i [06:16] hi, those who have ati radeon x300 card, what driver do you prefer? radeon or fglrx? [06:17] hacim: you want to login locally with GUI? [06:18] hello [06:18] chetnick: it would be better if I could switch to a virtual text console and login as root there [06:18] hey guys [06:18] how can i format a drive FAT32 and mark all bad blocks at the same time ? [06:19] ubsafder...are you having a problem on a dual boot machine? [06:19] no i am formatin a usb drive i don't have windows to do it [06:20] ubsafder: well you can use gparted to format the drive.. dunno about bad blocks though [06:20] i have compiz fusion installed and i am using my motherboards internal video. compiz is not working no matter what i do. on 8.04 it worked fine (i am using 9.04 currently) [06:20] geeksquad: what graphics device?

[06:21] geeksquad: well, you probably need to to install the intel-xorg something. [06:21] just storage [06:21] with apt [06:21] geeksquad: yeah, i think its the 915resolution package.. but don't hold me to that [06:21] paul68: not sure if this is the cause, but you might want to check your permissions in your home dir. [06:22] ubs, then just use gparted [06:22] well its not on apt [06:22] paul68: ~/.mozilla [06:22] Severian: i gave up on NetworkManager. its good to use in GUI, but i dont know equivalent commands. so i went back to pppoeconf, pon and poff commands [06:23] all i get is intell2gas intel-microcode and intel-rng-tools [06:23] any ideas [06:23] can i get help compiling something? [06:23] I used gparted to format a 250 gb hard drive fat32 [06:23] bc: my permissions are ok, I use the same setup on a desktop and laptop both with a seperate homedir on a seperate partition activating it on my desktop it stays but on my laptop it wont [06:24] my graphic card is radeon x1300. and jaunty support that graphic card?

Whenever you have issues with firefox freezing on a page with flash animations try to force quit that process instead. There is a good chance firefox will resume responding and you will merely have to reload the page to get the flash animation back.

Grub offers its menu, selects its default kernel and reports: "Error 11: Unrecognized davice string." How to fix that?

[07:41] yes coz_ and compile via src [07:41] J01001010, and it didnt have any errors === |sparr| is now known as sparr [07:41] it is in the debian repos though but it should ideally work in ubuntu [07:41] bullgard4: sudo blkid shows your current uuid's, check them against your /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:41] J01001010, well not necessarily have you looked into other backup utilities? [07:42] after running everything it seems to work just fine but wont run [07:42] i just installed ubuntu9 and my boardcom wireless us bit working the sta driver is not working any help?

[07:46] vasi: ssb 46724 0 [07:46] davedev1: k, that's your problem :-) [07:46] where do I change my keyring password? [07:46] it's a known bug that ssb interferes with broadcom-wl [07:46] DasEi: Did you read my message thoroughly? I already answered your question: " does your fstab use uuid's ?" [07:47] bullgard4: sorry, missed it [07:47] J01001010, in terminal type fwbackups [07:47] davedev1: here's one of the many bug reports for this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules/+bug/367601/ [07:47] vasi: how do i fix it? [07:47] try (as root) 'rmmod ssb wl' [07:47] and then 'modprobe wl' [07:47] hello, can anyone help me out with a sound problem? when i plug in the headset in my laptop the sound comes through the headset and also through the speakers instead of just the headset [07:48] this removes them both, so the card is free, and then restores broadcom wl [07:48] cristi, sounds like a problem with your lappy's headset plug [07:48] coz_ command not found [07:48] after that, try 'ifconfig -a' and see if you have a new network interface [07:48] J01001010, I am getting the same thing here on ubuntu [07:48] Iron_Chefe: note that it works fine on windows so it's not a hardware problem [07:48] hmmmm [07:48] J01001010, coz: what arch are you on? and what arch is the program you're running? [07:49] J01001010, this is a bit creepy actually it will not uninstall cleanly either [07:49] hi .. how do i delete a user account with everything in it? like all the downloads etc i wanna remove all of that account? [07:49] cristi:quick n dirty solution can be alsamixergui, where you can seperately adjust volumes [07:49] cristi, strange, do you have the right drivers? [07:49] that worked [07:49] vasi: thanks a lot [07:49] davedev1: there's more! [07:49] to make this permanent [07:49] yeah i agree coz_ its a bit wierd [07:49] Iron_Chefe: the right drivers? i have alsa, i don't know [07:49] you have to blacklist ssb [07:49] if so, do you have an option in volume control for separate control of the headphone/speaker volume? [07:50] Does anyone have a link for working instruction on how to install ATI driver for R700 cards for 9.04 with 2D AND 3D acceleration. ? Thank you ! [07:50] DasEi: i'll try again that one when i'll have more time, tried it before though [07:50] so create a file '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-wl.conf', containing the line 'blacklist ssb' [07:50] cristi, try getting up a command prompt and typing "alsamixer" see what options you get there [07:50] and then run 'update-initramfs -u' [07:50] J01001010, I wo uld uninstall this app and then do a search for more reliably installable and working backup utilities [07:50] divxclub: Google is your friend. [07:50] hi .. how do i delete a user account with everything in it? like all the downloads etc i wanna remove all of that account including its home folder etc... [07:50] vegombrei: you can use "sudo userdel -r ". use with care [07:50] ok thanks coz_ [07:51] bullgard4: I missed your reply, are the uuids right ? [07:51] mpontillo: will it remove all the data in its downloads and stuff? [07:51] vegombrei: Or you can remove the account, then sudo rm -rf /home/USERNAME [07:51] Iron_Chefe: i mainly get the same ones with volume control, i;ll try to play a little with these now though [07:51] davedev1: then when you reboot, you won't have this problem again (i hope) [07:51] I'm having problems with an ubunut intrepid 64 bit netinstall [07:51] installation seemed to go well [07:51] but when restarting [07:51] KB1JWQ: does that command remove the entire account and all its contents like its home folder etc? [07:52] i only get a minimal bash [07:52] vasi: Thanks [07:52] cristi:if it's not a mechanical prob with jack, it'll be a driver issue, the cleaner solution as told above [07:52] davedev1: you should also find one of the relevant bugs on launchpad, and let the devs know you have this problem [07:52] vegombrei: Why don't you check the man page? [07:52] maybe that way it'll get fixed [07:52] (maybe) ;-) [07:52] Anyone know why i can't get any sound from xawtv or tvtime? [07:52] vegombrei: yes, if the downloads are in the user's /home directory. (or what KB1JWQ said, it's essentially the same except 'userdel' also deletes the mail spool file, if one exists) [07:52] DasEi: I am re-checking that. [07:52] if you think that I came here without looking there first you are misstakin, clearly you don't know anything [07:52] Wolfcastle: are you in single-user mode? or just you didn't install a graphical environment? [07:53] divxclub: Well, when someone gave you the -r flag, one would presume that the next logical step would be to check the man page for that particular flag. [07:53] oliver__, you may have to run man xawtv to see how to enable sound [07:53] vasi: I did install ubuntu-desktop [07:53] DasEi: i don't understand what's your idea in solving the problem [07:53] vasi: and it's not single user mode...ubuntu never starts [07:53] coz_, its just odd in 8.10 i just had to install xawtv and everything ran smoothly [07:53] divxclub: Ah, got you and otherdude mistaken. [07:53] vasi: seems like grub wasn't installed [07:53] ok thanks [07:53] dude what you talken about ? you gay or something .. get lost I need help here not chat with Faggy guy I am sorry just get lost [07:53] divxclub: Obviously I know nothing. Ignore me. === stooj is now known as StooJ|Away [07:53] thx god [07:53] I did try to boot it manually [07:54] oliver__, mm not sure then actually I have only used xawtv once for testing something [07:54] oliver__, is this for a web cam? [07:54] Wolfcastle: k, hold on [07:54] divxclub: language! [07:54] but end up with an error [07:54] vasi: thanx [07:54] cox_ i just tried something else and i got this error message is it ok to post it to you? [07:54] My apologies [07:54] J01001010, you have to go to pastbin.com [07:54] cristi: your description is most likely a problem related to driver/hardware, check lspci or lshw to get model of s-card, then look at alsa for a suitable driver [07:54] Wolfcastle: so when you say you get stuck in a minimal bash shell... [07:54] coz_, No i have my xbox connected to my computer i can see the picture but it dosen't give any sound, although there is a distorted sound in the background [07:55] J01001010, i cant recieve DCC [07:55] is it for-real bash? [07:55] prince go to this website: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [07:55] vasi: it's really a minimal grub shell [07:55] ah, grub [07:55] very different :-) [07:55] vasi: indeed :-p [07:55] brb [07:55] coz_ http://pastebin.com/d197304de [07:55] * vegombrei brb [07:55] Some people's kids... [07:55] k, so have you tried booting using the grub command line? [07:55] vasi: so i configure root, kernel and initram [07:55] Does anyone here have ATI 48xx card on 9.04 ubuntu that works ? Like with 2D/3D stuff ? [07:56] vasi: yes [07:56] DasEi: do you want the output from lspci? [07:56] i was trying to install encrypted dual boot. i used the alternate cd. and it only had an option for full encrpted lvn. is there an option to only encrypt linux only volumes [07:56] Wolfcastle: don't forget to pass root=/whatever to the kernel [07:56] is there a way to list all of the buses/slots in a machine, regardless of if there's a device in it or not? [07:56] coz_ - OK, I'll use google too if need be. Thanks again. [07:56] J01001010, yes that is nearly the same error I recieved as well I am going to suggest running sudo make uninstall in the source dirctory to get rid of this thing [07:56] gmulak, no problem good luck on that :) [07:56] ok thanks, coz_ [07:57] Wolfcastle: anyhow, what happened when you tried to boot from grub/ [07:57] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/m9f69302 [07:57] J01001010, if it does not uninstall cleanly open places Search for files in /usr [07:57] \nickserv identify windows [07:57] right [07:57] coz_, /dev/dsp ? [07:57] 2nd week of ubuntu starts today [07:57] loving it [07:57] krishmish: you should probably change your nickserv password. [07:57] krishmish change your password now [07:57] nickserv [07:57] oliver__: yes, if your using oss [07:57] yeah [07:57] okay [07:57] krishmish: That wasn't swift. :) [07:57] /msg nickserv windows NEWPASS [07:57] changed [07:57] krishmish: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:58] vasi: I did root (hd0,1) [07:58] gartral, if im using alsa? [07:58] DasEi: so i guess it's 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [07:58] vasi: then kernel /boot/vmlinuz... [07:58] oliver__, ooo not sure guy because I am not real up on most of the audio issues on ubuntu I have a specialized sound card that I have to compile also specifically for [07:58] gartral, im trying to direct xaw to my sound card [07:58] oliver__: i dont know... i use oss :P [07:58] vasi: and initrd /boot/initrd... [07:58] I have a 500gb SATA in 2 partitions as an extra drive drive but ubuntu is only seeing one partition [07:58] oliver__, you might find more solutions in #alsa channel maybe later in the day [07:58] Wolfcastle: k... [07:58] ah cool thanks guys [07:59] JohnSourcer: what does 'dmesg | grep sd' show? [07:59] vasi: And I get: gave up waiting for root device. Common problmes: -Boot args(cat /proc/cmdline) [07:59] i have a usb headphone it works good i with oss but with alsa it gives following error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback." [07:59] gartral, you know of a tut for OSS usage? [07:59] vasi: -Check rootdelay= -Check root= -Missing modules [07:59] oliver__: not really >.> [08:00] vasi: dropping to a shell! and then the shell (initramfs) [08:00] Wolfcastle: yeah, that's the error you usually get when you don't pass root=/whatever [08:00] vasi: hmmm ok [08:00] davedev1: Shame google doesn't work for you. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=937902 [08:00] when you load the kernel, use kernel /vmlinuz boot=/dev/sda1 or some such [08:00] oops [08:00] i mean, root=/dev/sda1 [08:00] whats the best file system to put on a flash driv if i don't care about windows? [08:01] gartral: Depends what OSes you do care about. [08:01] KB1JWQ: thanks and i;ll take the sarcasm too [08:01] davedev1: No worries. :) [08:01] KB1JWQ: Linux and Mac.. the rest can go climb a tree [08:02] KB1JWQ: i did what you said .. it deleted the account ... i made a new account and when i log in thru that account it shows me a message that it failed to add entry but then it still logs me in .. what could be the problem? [08:02] vegombrei: Pastebin the error in question. [08:03] gartral: in that case, you have a choice between FAT32, ext2/3, HFS+ and NTFS [08:03] ext2/3 are very hard to get working on OS X, so i'd recommend against [08:03] vasi: ah ok [08:03] KB1JWQ: thats the error ... i give the username and password .. it accepts it .. then it shows me a message that it failed to add entry but it still logs in [08:03] FAT32 is probably best unless you'll need files > 2GB in size [08:03] "Failed to add entry" is ALL it says? [08:04] vasi: Strangely, with ntfs-3G I find it the most portable if you need anything above 2G per file. [08:04] KB1JWQ: yah, it's kinda sad :-( [08:04] HFS+ is ok if you need just Mac/Linux though [08:04] cristi : if you start alsamixergui, is your s-card listed correctly in it's gui (upper right corner) ? [08:04] gartral, does OSS sound better than ALSA? [08:05] vasi: Not sure, really-- HFS+ support is hit/miss in Linux, and it's... delicate. [08:05] hello there [08:05] Doesn't like sudden disconnections AT ALL. :) [08:05] hey everyone i heres the story i was recently upgrading to 9.04 last night when all of a sudden the whole computer stiffed up and i had to hold the off button down to turn it off i went back on it in the morning it loaded fine untill i had to login i did the usual enter my user and pass but then once that was finshed it just hanged at the orangey screen i turned it off and went into the shell thingy and did apt-get uodate apt-get [08:05] how could i setup ubuntu to login into guest account at boot? [08:05] jony12345676789: tl;dr [08:05] oliver__: that stricktly a matter of opinion and hardware, on my machine, YES, on yours, i dont know, but keep in mind you can have multiple sound systems active in linux [08:05] yellabs: Enable the guest account, configure it via the Administration section for autologin? [08:06] KB1JWQ: what was that command again to remove a user and all its files? [08:06] ok [08:06] Does Nexuiz work on Ubuntu 64? [08:06] vegombrei: userdel -r USERNAME, or remove the user without the -r flag and sudo rm -rf /home/USERNAME [08:06] gartral, I see, well i haven't tried OSS yet on this machine but ALSA really dosen't give out quality. [08:06] mLavaert: Should. [08:06] anyone using untangle here? [08:06] mLavaert: the 2.5 from their site does [08:07] KB & Gartal: Thanks [08:07] I have been using untangle on Windows [08:07] gartral, im doing a fiesty tut lol :D [08:07] oliver__: you'll probably find oss sounds better then, cause i know on my machine, alsa doesn't even play realtime... [08:08] hey everyone i heres the story i was recently upgrading to 9.04 last night when all of a sudden the whole computer stiffed up and i had to hold the off button down to turn it off i went back on it in the morning it loaded fine untill i had to login i did the usual enter my user and pass but then once that was finshed it just hanged at the orangey screen i turned it off and went into the shell thingy and did apt-get uodate apt-get [08:08] can anyone recommend a graphical partition-formatting program? [08:08] How can I write to a location on the remote connection with rsync when that directory requires super-user permissions? I have tried messing around with --super and --fake-super and reading about them in the man, but I don't get it. [08:08] vasi: Gparted [08:08] jony12345676789: please wait a few minutes before asking your question again [08:08] the real question is what happened after the apt-get update? [08:08] ScottG: maybe run it from the remote box? [08:08] jony12345676789: You can't paste as much as you're trying to. [08:09] how can i connect 2 networks on different subnets [08:09] KB1JWQ: it didnt delete the home folder for that user with that command [08:09] yea sorry vasi but im getting pretty sick of windows fast [08:09] vasi: GParted is really good, but I had some issues editing microsoft partitions [08:09] So by the time you get there, it's off the buffer. === Jiyu_ is now known as JiYu [08:09] In other words, jony12345676789: Try again, Tolstoy. :-p [08:09] how can i connect 2 networks on different subnets?? [08:09] krishmish: A router. [08:09] can i make my computer work as a router> [08:09] yeah, i seem to recall gparted had trouble with my netbsd partition :-/ [08:09] vegombrei: The user's home folder is /home/USERNAME. So rm -rf that directory. [08:09] You'll need to run it with sudo, obviously. [08:10] krishmish: Yes you can, you even have professional software for it like the Monowall project [08:10] cristi: As I'm leaving soon, try to find the right driver for it, modprobe it into kernel, when working, add it to /etc/modules to get loaded at startup, also might want to get latest alsa package from http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page [08:10] vasi: Hm, that is an option I did not think of. [08:10] krishmish: What, EXACTLY, are you trying to do? [08:10] vasi: If it is possible and not too hacky, I would like to try to have it handled by my laptop though [08:10] mLavaert: I think he's doing something a bit off of the reservation, depending upon whether he's asking what I think he's asking. :) [08:10] ScottG: can you ssh to root on the other box? [08:11] im in windows and i did the from windows install how can i access my ubuntu user home from inside windows [08:11] you may be able to just rsync local root@remote [08:11] KBIJWQ pls type in a new dialog box? === JiYu is now known as Jiyu_ [08:11] jony12345676789: You need to have something that'll speak ext3 from within Windows. [08:11] I don't do windows, so good luck. === Sememmon_ is now known as Sememmon [08:11] u_b === Jiyu_ is now known as JiYu [08:11] vasi: Yea [08:12] vasi: Its my server I have downstairs. I am usually root on it. Unless I am sshing to use finch or irssi (which I run as a different user for security purposes) [08:13] ScottG: yay, somebody who pays attention to security! [08:13] ScottG: As a general practice you'll not want to ssh as root; ssh in and su to the new user. :) [08:13] jony12345676789: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [08:13] jony12345676789, http://www.fs-driver.org/ thats one of the most popular ext3/4 mounting systems for windows [08:13] su to the ROOT user rather. [08:13] lol :D [08:13] KB1JWQ: that's very difficult to do with rsync :-P [08:13] KBIJWQ: i have 3 networks [08:13] vasi: Not if you run the rsync server, but I get what you're saying. :) [08:13] cheers [08:13] in my office [08:13] all 3 seperate [08:13] krishmish: Okay, can they all reach the internet? [08:13] woops i ment ext2/3 [08:14] KB1JWQ: Yea, I think if I ever start up a new server I will try to not use root. I started up this server a little before I put linux on my desktop and really knew what I was doing [08:14] no [08:14] only one [08:14] krishmish: And you want to change that? [08:14] keeping the subnet as the same, i wanna link it to another [08:14] vasi: So do you know what I can do to to write as a super-user on the remote computer? [08:15] ScottG: What are you trying to write as root? [08:15] ScottG: Could export the destination with no_root_squash via NFS; then you'd be able to edit it as the other machine's root user. Be bloody careful with that, though; you don't want NFS available from hosts you don't define explicitly.

[08:17] the sat connection is also on a small network of about 4 systems [08:17] KBIJWQ: i wanna reach that network without having to go to the internet from within my own network [08:17] KB1JWQ: What is NFS?

I am able to use Nautilus to browse my external file systems [08:19] KB1JWQ: i did all that removed the account restarted and tried to create a new account with the same username and it says username already exists .. but it doesnt show the account in the (user privilages) window [08:19] hi all :) [08:19] vegombrei: From terminal, what does 'id USERNAME' generate? [08:19] KBIJWQ: any ideas? [08:19] krishmish: You'll have better luck in #networking. [08:20] ok i don't think it installed ubuntu as a seprate partion and from inside ububtu i can access windows files by going /host/ [08:20] KB1JWQ: says no such user [08:20] Hi all, anyone here run into grub problems when upgrading a wubi install from 8.10 to 9.04 (it fails to boot)!? [08:20] okay [08:20] thanx [08:20] vegombrei: replace "USERNAME" with the username ;) [08:20] so anyway, been looking at a tutorial for perl, the language looks rather nice. but i have one very simple question [08:20] unless you did. hrm. [08:21] where and how do i get a perl compiler? [08:21] rww: duh? obviously bro [08:21] QuackAttack it is an interpreted language, isn't it? [08:21] a21, have no clue what you mean [08:21] !info perl | QuackAttack [08:21] QuackAttack: perl (source: perl): Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report Language. In component main, is important. Version 5.10.0-19ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 4434 kB, installed size 13632 kB [08:22] is there a command that removes the username the user and all its contents so i can do it again? [08:22] interpreted is were the code is read, then executed. compiled is were it is converted to machine code, then ran. I think :) [08:22] in its simplest form anyway [08:22] QuackAttack, not sure see if ther eis a libsnmp-mib-compiler-perl in the repository [08:22] QuackAttack: generally, Perl programs aren't compiled before being run. You'll usually write the program, then do "perl filename.pl" to run it (or chmod +x filename.pl then ./filename.pl) [08:23] right, but is perl installed? or do i have to install it? [08:23] So, QuackAttack may or may not actually want a perl compiler, maybe he or she wants the normal perl package. [08:23] I have a problem with the notification sounds. Especially with Pidgin, every time an event happens (e.g: someone logs in or out), the event sounds comes out with this annoying cracks -not sure how to describe it, but it's really annoying-. Can it be a problem with Alsa? [08:23] QuackAttack: it's installed by default, and is in the "perl" package if it isn't. [08:23] QuackAttack: run whereis perl in the terminal to know [08:23] i'd rather go with a compiler [08:23] writing code in gedit does not sound fun [08:24] QuackAttack: you'd be writing code in gedit anyway =/ [08:24] you'll have to write code in a text editor or IDE anyway [08:24] QuackAttack: what /do/ you want to write it in? [08:24] QuackAttack, I don't think that you know what a compiler technically is. Maybe you mean an IDE. [08:24] CORRECTION: .. with this annoying cracking sound... [08:24] its just how the code is ran that makes the difference [08:24] right, but at least in the compiler i have error msgs etc [08:24] and i need these things [08:24] you have that in an interpreter [08:24] a compiler gives you the errors before making the file and an interpreter gives you the errors when you run the file [08:25] only language i ever really messed with is mirc, and that's not saying much [08:25] <|Zippo|> is there anybody using conky with compiz' widget layer [08:25] QuackAttack, you're slightly confused, FYI. It's ok. That will change over time. Google 'how to program in perl'. [08:25] from the shell how do i add my whole home dir to a achive and then to copy it somewhere else [08:25] I have a problem with the notification sounds. Especially with Pidgin, every time an event happens (e.g: someone logs in or out), the event sounds comes out with this annoying cracking sound -not sure how to describe it, but it's really annoying-. Can it be a problem with Alsa? [08:26] rww: do you have a command that would delete the user and all its contents including its home folder? [08:27] why does youtube make my browser crash? [08:27] its probably flash which is causing the crash [08:27] screamsayonara: how much memory do you have? [08:27] vegombrei: sudo deluser --remove-home USERNAME; sudo delgroup USERNAME [08:28] 3gb boshhead [08:28] question i installed ubuntu, and after the flash screen it says my bios is transmitting ACPI_PSS information that it does not understand, and to report it [08:28] Omar87: is you sound in general in order ? [08:29] gartral, i just installed OSS the test works from the sounds menu but everywhere else its silent :D [08:29] Mogbert: is this bug like yours? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/331691 [08:30] oliver__: asoundconf set-oss /dev/dsp [08:30] Omar87: i have it too, particularly with the login sound >.> [08:30] rww: thanks :) [08:31] Omar87: it was so bad, i went and used OSS, now every thing sounds clean [08:31] gartral, thanks :D all gud now, do i have to issue that command everytime or is it a one time setting? [08:31] Steeley: checking one sec [08:32] oliver__: i dont know what to add it too to make the effect permanent, sorry [08:32] rww: i did that .. added a new user .. logged on with the new username and password .. it accepts it but gives an error saying failed to add entry for username [08:34] vegombrei: what does? the login manager? [08:34] I can't get enough volume from my audio despite setting all the controls i can find to maximum volume. :( I even just tried doing a custom kernel compile, and I compiled the audio stuff into the kernel rather than as a module, but still not enough volume :( (The sound *works* it's just a volume issue). I've since reverted to the regular ubuntu kernel. [08:35] how do i copy files from one location to another (usb flashdrive) using the shell? [08:35] use the cp command [08:35] how do i use the copy command [08:35] jony12345676789: man cp [08:35] jony12345676789: man cp [08:35] jony12345676789: if you want to a copy a full directory do: cp -a mystuff /mnt/drive which will make a /mnt/drive/mystuff directory [08:36] Steeley: I'm not quite sure my computer is about 3 months old so I figured it might not be supported completely, right after the ubuntu flash screen it just stops and gives me a prompt saying that my bios is sending acpi_pss information it doesnt understand. and to report it [08:36] thx bosshead [08:36] I changed the partioning using GParted: http://paste.debian.net/35169. Grub offers its menu, selects its default kernel and reports: "Error 11: Unrecognized davice string." How to fix that? [08:36] I changed the partioning using GParted: http://paste.debian.net/35169. Grub offers its menu, selects its default kernel and reports: "Error 11: Unrecognized device string." How to fix that? [08:36] Steeley: its almost the same but it doesnt say firmware bug [08:36] How do I use Glipper? [08:37] Mogbert: you could completely disable acpi and try without this feature.. [08:37] hi, I just upgraded to 09.04 and now I get small black notifications on everything that happens to pidgin, network, rythmbox and more.. can I turn that off? [08:37] I'm trying to echo "test" >> testfile.txt and I'm getting permission denied.. I believe I added myself into the group that owns the file.. but could the only reason I get Permission Denied be that I'm not in the group? [08:37] dude, perl is simple. i'm already writing simple programs. i like it [08:37] nice [08:38] QuackAttack: python [08:38] Steeley im going to go back to bios and poke around [08:38] usicow, check the permissions of that file, even if you own it you might have blocked write access [08:38] but perl is cool too [08:38] hello, I am trying to compile the showmouse plugin from compiz in Jaunty is there anyone who can help me with this error I am getting ? [08:38] so cp -a /home/jonathon/ /mnt/drive/ will create a folder on my flash drive that contains all the contents of my home folder? [08:38] "Makefile:48: *** [ERROR] Compiz not installed. Stop." [08:38] I have it installed for sure [08:38] jony12345676789: yes [08:38] sudo apt-get install compiz [08:39] thx [08:39] jony12345676789: actually, leave off those trailing /'s [08:39] it works great in fact I just lost my showmouse plugin when I updated [08:39] reboot time [08:39] RealRaven: the file has the following (sorry I'm new to this so I'm not sure if its read-only or not) -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data [08:39] yewbuntew [08:39] Polterge|st: probably, you have to install compiz-dev or somwthing like that [08:39] Mogbert: i presume its an issue with the ACPI package or the BIOS version. The only things I can really suggest is to wait for an update or see if theres a new BIOS version available (neither may solve it though) [08:39] QuackAttack, will that get rid of the development version of compiz [08:39] I have the development version installed and it is working great but I just can't compile the plugins from gitweb [08:39] not a clue, i don't use compiz because i refuse to update my videocard [08:39] for some fancy effects [08:39] heh [08:39] usicow: then unless you're actually www-data you cant write.. try "chmod g+w" on that file [08:40] Polterge|st: it means a set of development files (headers, etc) [08:40] RealRaven: ahhh thanks [08:40] usicow: np [08:40] a21, hmmm is there a compiz-dev package I can download using apt-get ? [08:40] i'm on xfce, ;x [08:40] brb [08:40] Polterge|st: sure [08:40] ah ok [08:40] is there an easy way to have movies not expand over both my monitors in fullscreen ? [08:41] I used ubuntu tweak to install the development version but I didn't know if it installed headers or whatnot [08:41] so anyway, i actually have another question now [08:41] i wanted to know how to restore all xfce defaults [08:41] Polterge|st: probably it didn't. dev packages are used when you need to compile something from the source code. [08:42] i tried removing and reinstalling xubuntu-desktop [08:42] removing it didnt seem to work [08:42] ah [08:42] that makes sense [08:42] QuackAttack: there are a bunch of files in your home folder that store Xfce settings (as well as per-user settings for most other programs). You'd need to remove them. [08:42] one other question ... does anyone know where I can find good replacement icons for Jaunty ? I've looked at gnome-look.org and a few other places but I'm not sure about some of those. I seen some good icons called the hydrogen set but I don't know where to get them [08:43] rww: is there some automated way to do that? [08:43] i'd rather not do it by hand [08:43] D: [08:43] QuackAttack: not that I know of [08:43] Polterge|st: i use this one. you can get it from gnome-look [08:43] yet another reason to learn perl i suppose [08:43] lool [08:44] Polterge|st: i mean hydrogen [08:44] How do I use Glipper? [08:44] I seen the hydroxygen set but I didn't know if it installs properly because I heard about some errors with the installer [08:44] well the problem per se wasn't installing, but rather updating it [08:45] Omar87: there should be an icon for Glipper in the notification area (the top right hand corner) [08:45] Polterge|st: you can just copy the directory with icons to .icons directory in your /home . it does the same. [08:45] ah nice [08:46] ok [08:46] Steeley: Nope, can't see it. [08:46] hi there, does anyone know if there's an application/applet for gnome that lets me tile windows on a certain desktop? [08:47] massi: do you mean something like a virtual machine? [08:47] Omar87: try opening a terminal and typing 'glipper' (without quotes). See if there are any errors. [08:48] not really, a21 .. just an application that tiles windows.. just like a tiling wm [08:48] Steeley: tried that too, but it doesn't find it. [08:48] actually, i get used to awesomewm, but it isn't complete as gnome [08:49] massi: hmm, i though you meant MS Windows ) [08:49] oh no.. i can't trust an os that hides the "stop" function under a "start" button [08:49] Omar87: i've had problems with it a while back, which is why I switched to parcellite, not sure what the issue is but its an alternative anyway [08:49] massi: You could use Xmonad with GNOME ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975329 ). I tried it a while back and it worked okay. [08:50] anyone that knows why I get all these new notification popups and how I can turn it of? [08:51] that's cool rww thanks! [08:52] rww: not the login manager its just a small msg window that says it and then you click ok it logs you in [08:53] RealRaven: install the "gnome-stracciatella-session" package, log out, click Session and select "GNOME (without Ubuntu specific components)", make it the default and log back in [08:53] i think Nautilus became corrupted after my Jaunty update === vincent is now known as Guest886 [08:54] my desktop folders don't load, and i can't access files through the file manager [08:54] thansk rww, I'll try that [08:54] I found some good panel replacement icons on gnome-look btw ... just for the ubuntu logo though. Different colors of the logo in a jeweled version for people that want a slightly different look [08:55] it hasa 65% user rating but is probably good for people who want to custom theme their setup out like I am doing [08:55] ok I fixed my ACPI error, now when ubuntu loads up after the flash screen I get a prompt, what do I do from there? [08:55] Polterge|st: don't look at the rating. just figure out if it is what you like ;) [08:57] a21, that is pretty much what I did hehe [08:57] simple backup tool for ubuntu whenever USB device is pluged in? [08:57] now to figure out how to replace the default value and install the icons properly [08:57] Hi, is anyone familiar with operating solely in a TTY with the framebuffer enabled? I notice that since upgrading to jaunty, when I try and view an image in w3m, it opens some sort of program in any X sessions I have running instead. Any idea how to fix this? [08:58] * vegombrei is upgrading to the latest ubuntu version [08:58] Polterge|st: you can use 'Appearence' utility to change the icon set. [08:59] well I mean this is just for the ubuntu logo where the main menu goes [08:59] hence the logo for that isn't really separate in there [08:59] how do i start ubuntu from the init prompt? sorry im new to this [08:59] I know there is a setting you can alter but you must back up the original file but I will have to look it back up [09:00] who has ekiga working right?

[09:03] whitepixel: I think aircrack can do it but not 100% on the syntax. I'm sure a google search could return something [09:03] whitepixel: find an hex to asci converter in google!

[09:05] stargazer84: i think i set the admin pwd to the same wireless key =( [09:05] stargazer84: I actually found a site like that looking for a binary converter [09:05] stargazer84: i'm pretty sure i did.. this is so lame! [09:06] whitepixel: you might want to change that... WEP isn't secure and someone that manages to crack your WEP key would probably try it as the admin password as well [09:06] Steeley: it's a wpa2 key [09:07] whitepixel: ah right, no idea were I got WEP from then... [09:07] Steeley: Either way, probably best to keep the pwds different [09:07] is anyone familiar with operating solely in a TTY with the framebuffer enabled?

I had Atlantis2 and a few other experimental Compiz plugins installed and working, and after the upgrade they either didn't work at all (Atlantis2) or didn't work and caused weird crap just by being checked off (that one that flips any window to any angle).

[09:42] a21: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o force [09:42] IRD2K9: it's not a good idea to use -o force [09:43] IRD2K9: did you try sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk first? [09:44] a21: actually i didn't, I'll try that now [09:44] how do i find the complete name of my ethernet card? [09:44] how can you open a file browser with elevated rights? [09:44] kopichu: lspci [09:44] Branokil, sudo filebrowser [09:44] Bruners: gksu nautilus, not recommended though [09:44] zaggynl, thanks, but it isn't so complete [09:45] kopichu: lspci -vvv [09:45] hey, how do i manually install debs with circular dependencies? [09:45] it just specifies the name and not the model [09:45] Steeley: thanks [09:45] kopichu: specify what you mean by 'complete' [09:46] box: you can do it manually by sudo dpkg -i /full_path_to_deb but it doesn't deal with dependencies [09:46] a21, includes model number [09:46] a21, thanks lspci -vvv did the trick [09:47] a21: thx [09:47] a21: I've tried sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk, still get the input/output error. Anything else I could try please? [09:48] hello eveyone [09:48] hi [09:48] a21: So just to clarify I get the input/output after I do a ls command while in the /media/disk after mounting it [09:50] how do i connect ubuntu to a Local Area network? [09:50] IRD2K9: i would advice to fsck.ntfs for the partition first (or the standard ms win utility ). then try to use ntfs-3g once more. [09:50] kopichu like ethernet network or wifi? [09:51] sacarlson, ethernet is the one with hub and utp cat5 cables right? [09:51] yes it should just plug and play [09:51] sacarlson, im plugged right now but i cant see the other pcs [09:52] with a dhcp server normaly present on your adsl or ? [09:52] I can't get enough volume from my audio despite setting all the controls i can find to maximum volume. :( I even just tried doing a custom kernel compile, and I compiled the audio stuff into the kernel rather than as a module, but still not enough volume :( (The sound *works* it's just a volume issue). I've since reverted to the regular ubuntu kernel.~ [09:52] oh like file shareing? [09:52] Hi everyone. [09:52] sacarlson, yes and games, [09:52] hi [09:52] Is there a way to export private key from SeaHorse ? [09:52] Hi all i did a mistake i chmod 600 /home/eagle and now i cannot login because i do not have permission [09:53] well for file sharing depending on what other computers are around you maybe samba [09:53] just wondering how i can turn the permissions back to normal? [09:53] a21: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration [09:53] chmod it back [09:53] 600 isn't the account name tho i don't know the userid [09:54] I'm not sure about games [09:54] sacarlson, the other PCs are both windows xp, samba is for file sharing right? i want to start with the basics - like being able to ping the other hosts [09:54] do i just chmod eagle /home/eagle? [09:54] ubuntu_: chmod 600 wouldn't cause a problem unless that user didn't own the directory. [09:54] : right click and select export? [09:54] a21: Alright i'll give that a go, could the fact that I can't boot into windows be a reason why I can't view any of the drives contents via ubuntu? [09:54] yes samba will share files with window pc [09:54] ubuntu_: if your username is 'eagle' do a chown eagle:eagle /home/eagle [09:54] Steeley, I can only export public key buy doint an export from SeaHorse. [09:54] i can't get Nautilus to work, changed to Thunar for now, tried reinstalling it... no luck so far [09:54] samba I think is already default installed on ubuntu [09:55] ubuntu_: you probably need to 'sudo chown' of course. [09:55] Steeley, not the private one. [09:55] sacarlson, i just want to ping them first since samba is difficult to configure. ive tried many configurations already and nothing works [09:55] a21: found --force-depends in the man page [09:55] sacarlson, like i ping 169.x.x.x and no replies are returned [09:55] then at a terminal type>ifconfig [09:55] has anybody else lost Nautilus after the update? [09:56] boshhead, k il give it a go thanks :) [09:56] oh on windows they will be firewalled [09:56] I have.. can't see my LAN at all [09:56] so you can use arping -I eth0 192.168.x.x [09:56] sacarlson, so you mean, they cant ping me? or i cant ping them? [09:56] no they should be able to ping you [09:56] : it seems to be reported as a bug, a suggestion is to export the entire keyring and then reimport the private key [09:57] if no firewall on your side was added [09:57] but you can't normaly ping them [09:57] sacarlson, well ubuntu has iptables right? [09:57] arping should still work [09:57] yes [09:58] sacarlson tyvm i will try that arping [09:58] Hi there; do you know a way to have DNS queries forwarded via a socks proxy? [09:58] it stands for arp ping. it will only work if you are on the same local network [09:59] Hi! I'd like to try a script before actually launching it. I remember something about "echo", but can someone help me do this right? [09:59] echo "hellow world" [09:59] sacarlson here is a picture of my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1139972 [10:00] sacarlson the bottom post shows it [10:00] Steeley, so I have to copy .gnupg direcectory in order to import the private key, right ?

[10:04] hi when i use package manager to install things like php...how does ubuntu decide where to install it? [10:04] kopichu I used system-config-samba to setup samba [10:04] kopichu... that's me on my desktop [10:05] kopichu.. sorry [10:05] I see a warning about the sata controller when resuming from hibernation: how can I make it go away? [10:05] I mean, I'd like it not to be shown on console [10:05] kopichu, that's my netbook wired to same router [10:05] c_malc, its ok :) i tried pinging you then [10:05] Is it correct that "rm | ls | grep 00003" will erase all files containing the "00003" string in the current directory? [10:05] sacarlson, i tried that too. [10:05] Hi all. For how long will 9.04 desktop be supported/updated? [10:06] !jaunty | Royk [10:06] Royk: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 - Please use !torrents [10:07] ackbahr: I think the correct syntax is rm `ls|grep 00003` [10:07] kopichu: can't find anything there about support [10:07] Steeley, gpg --export-secret-key -a "My Name" > private.key [10:07] Steeley, Thanks anyway. [10:07] RoyK, October 2010 [10:08] kopichu: ok, so 18 months for non-LTS and 36 months for LTS? [10:08] sacarlson, is there a way for me to find other IPs in my LAN with a command without having to type ifconfig or ipconfig (for windows)? [10:09] : you've helped me out there, I was just looking at the best way to do it :) later versions of Seahorse will probably have the feature... [10:09] Hi guys. Is it just me or is 9.04 on x64 a pain? firefox segfaults because of flashplayer. Apt segfaults because of defective build tree. And from time to time X freezes with ati proprietary drivers. [10:09] Steeley, I hope so :) [10:09] kopichu: nmap -sP 192.168.0.* [10:09] for instance [10:09] creative83: haven't seen that [10:09] RoyK, what if I don't know their IPs? [10:09] ackbahr: for FILE in $(grep -l 00003 *); do echo rm "${FILE}"; done <-- remove the word "echo" if you're confident that will do what you want :) [10:09] And I couldn't get 2.6.29-rc4 working because dkms fails on building fglrx 8.600 [10:09] a21: Alright i'll give that a go, could the fact that I can't boot into windows be a reason why I can't view any of the drives contents via ubuntu?...sorry didn't realise I got disconnected [10:09] kopichu: you know which subnet you're on [10:10] RoyK, 36 months [10:10] kopichu, i don't know what is a subnet. sorry total noob here [10:10] RoyK: Are you using 9.04 on x64? [10:10] amd64, yes [10:10] x86_64 [10:10] kopichu you could monitor ip trafic with wireshark to see what addresses are active but is that what you want? [10:11] RoyK: Strange. Thought it would be a general x64 problem. Because its a totally fresh installation [10:11] sacarlson: you won't see them if they're on a switch [10:11] : just check something if you can, right click on your key, click Properties > Details tab > Export button - seems to export the Private Key [10:11] that is, arpwatch will show you [10:11] sacarlson sounds like it - if it helps me find other hosts [10:11] true [10:11] or wireshark sniffing ARP [10:12] ya the broadcasts will still be seen [10:12] sacarlson RoyK, you guys have been really helpful thanks - im going to list down the commands u say [10:12] anyway - nmap -sP should work [10:12] RoyK: I'd like to find out why firefox is crashing. How do I get debugging symbols for it? I only see firefox-3.5-dbg but not the ones for 3.0 [10:12] the control key is beheving weird today. disables keyboard or something, paste and al those things won't work anymore [10:12] creative83: ulimit -c unlimited will make firefox dump the core when it crashes [10:12] ctrl+alt+whatever does work [10:12] you could just set the windows machines to be static address so you know what they will always be [10:13] RoyK: Thx [10:13] sacarlson: or you could simply look at the dhcp server [10:13] one is already set to static your windows gateway [10:13] sacarlson: that will list machine names along with their IPs [10:13] royk true [10:14] but his dhcp server is a windows xp box [10:14] how can i find the kernel configuration used for my ubuntu kernel? I downloaded the sources, but don't see a config [10:14] sacarlson: ugh [10:14] sacarlson: why on earth? [10:14] hay not my idea [10:14] Steeley, No, it is only the public one (-----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----) [10:14] Resya [10:15] Something other strange: When I freshly installed, I was able to sudo. After a reboot it told me that I weren't allowed to because I weren't in sudoers. A reboot in recovery mode and editing the sudoers file did the trick. Is this normal behaviour? [10:15] sacarlson, RoyK my sisters want XP :( [10:16] RoyK, is it possible though to have a windows gateway? [10:16] can i vonvert a ext 3 partition into a ext4 partion well its mounted? [10:16] : I'm getting two different keys depending on which way I export from Seahorse. The one from the Details tab also gives me the same as the method from the command line... confused [10:17] kopich that's what you have from the picture I saw and yes you can [10:17] sacarlson but ideally it should be ubuntu right? [10:18] they all work, I'm just more used to setting up linux [10:18] hi, why amarok give error "No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url's protocol is not supported." [10:18] Something really strange going on here. opera hangs and I can't find the process because ps -ef hangs as well. [10:18] whats more should I install [10:18] Maybe I'm going to check for memory failures... [10:19] hey guys any ideas why when jaunty bwas beta I installed it in VM and installed VM tools and drag and drop worked fine and now that it has been released I can get drag and drop work in VM [10:19] *cant === Steffy is now known as Steffy|Fedora [10:20] Alright i've run sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1 and its come back with success, is there any other reason why I can't view the contents of my hard drive on my laptop (keep getting input/output error) [10:20] Hi.

[10:34] thanks [10:34] ill use version 9 [10:34] Gourlis: is it a clean install? [10:35] sacarlson: that'll need sudo, users can't mount [10:35] * X3 thinks Gourlis provided overwelming information not able to process [10:35] ActionParsnip, yes [10:35] maybe if that's how it's setup in fstab [10:35] Gourlis: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the burned cd was ok? [10:36] Gourlis: did you burn as slow as you could? [10:36] you can setup fstab so a user can mount a disk [10:36] Gourlis: does system boot? I too get that message but then proceeds fine [10:36] ActionParsnip, yes the disc also passed the test of ubuntu. [10:36] Gourlis: good lad :D [10:36] what webcams can i use under ubuntu?

[10:39] intx: never argue that google is inconclusive user is google is not [10:39] indus: well, no matter. im fine with backwards [10:39] Gourlis: possibly, try disabling stuff like acpi, apic or dma, or combinations [10:39] indus, i don't like errors :D [10:39] thx action [10:39] sacarlson: alright i've mounted the drive via the shell and i can actually see it now running the df command [10:39] ActionParsnip: not advisable disabling acpi [10:39] et [10:39] indus: why not?

[10:51] X3: see above ;) [10:51] amgarching: python specific [10:52] ActionParsnip: see it [10:52] amgarching: i'd ask in #python [10:52] X3:sorry no idea on VM [10:52] mmm any idea where to ask? [10:52] sacarlson: had a look in /var/log/syslog nothing i could see in there..is there something particular i'm looking for? [10:53] X3:have been eager to experiment for sometime now [10:53] Whats the best solution to map/redirect subdomain.domain.com to domain.com?key=value ? [10:53] X3:where do i download vm software? synaptic [10:53] sorry, wrong window [10:53] amgarching: hehe [10:53] erm no Im talking about windows>VM>jaunty [10:53] amarillion: use regex i think [10:54] oops wrong person [10:54] salut [10:54] hi, I'm a bit rusty in Linux :) can anyone remind me how I can add the ll terminal shell command (what is the file to edit?) [10:54] X3:You are running windows in a VM in jaunty yes? [10:54] indus no [10:54] Yanick_: ll ? [10:54] Im running windows and jaunty in a vm [10:54] ActionParsnip: adding ls -l as ll [10:55] hi i was fiddling with the compiz settings manager on hardy when it crashed. now i cannot get back into GNOME. how do i reset or disable compiz? [10:55] hmm [10:55] Yanick_: ooooh ~/.bashrc [10:55] thanks! [10:55] np [10:56] what is the purpose of vmlinuz and initrd.img in "/" directory? [10:56] you'd have though a server with 4 x 2Ghz CPUs and 8Gb RAM with SAS HDDs would be able to sring a 163Gb SQL log file in a decent amount of time [10:57] pan__: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initrd [10:57] Can someone tell me where the personal data is stored if you chose to create a persistent USB stuck from a Ubuntu ISO ? there's only 1 partition created it seems and the /home directory is still empty even after saving files in there. After boot the files are still there... [10:57] thx [10:57] pan__: initrd is the initial ram disk which stores enough drivers to help kernel mount / [10:57] scapor: it will be part of the largest partition [10:58] Yanick_ Add It In .bashrc Like This >> alias ll='ls -l' [10:58] ActionParsnip: There's only one partition [10:58] scapor: you can create more partitions to use as the other directories if you wish (like one for /boot) [10:58] pan__: vmlinuz is the actual linux kernel which then takes over and proceeds with boot [10:58] Save! Then Type: source .bashrc [10:58] but in my grub settings [10:58] scapor: then the system isnt using a swap [10:58] it doesn't use vmlinuz [10:58] ActionParsnip: it's a "Live" USB [10:58] fsck /dev/sda1 [10:58] [10:58] rather a different named kernel [10:58] ActionParsnip: nope it's installed with the usb-creator utility [10:58] in /boot [10:58] pan__: what doesnt [10:59] vmlinuz is the kernel [10:59] right i see vmlinuz in /boot folder [10:59] ActionParsnip: so when I browse the usb stick it's like browsing a live cd [10:59] but somehow the data in /home is kept [10:59] and also in "/" folder [10:59] but I can't find it [10:59] clear [10:59] Is there a fixed ISO yet that doesn't cop out halfway through and ask for the CD to be inserted? Currently I have a half-installed system with none of the things I installed it for in the first place [10:59] pan__: thats ok it can lie in there as backup probably === Pingu is now known as Guest8980 [10:59] but grub's menu.lst is using the kernel from /boot folder [10:59] ah [10:59] buongiorno a tutti raga ^_- [10:59] scapor: its like browsing any mounted device [10:59] i c === Guest8980 is now known as Ping_U [11:00] ActionParsnip: but there's no home directory on there === Ping_U is now known as Ping_u [11:00] just wanted to understand what vmlinuz and initrg.img was doing in "/" folder [11:00] thx ^^ [11:00] scapor: then i would make one [11:00] pan__: they are used for booting [11:00] ActionParsnip: but somehow the data is already kept [11:00] actually that / itself is kinda mounted by the initrd [11:01] can somebody give me the command to revert my default file manager back to nautilus? [11:01] grub doesn't call vmlinuz from menu.lst [11:01] scapor: then open a terminal and type pwd [11:01] from my root folder [11:01] ActionParsnip: when opening up the squasfs there's an empty /home directory in there [11:01] but from my /boot [11:01] something called [11:01] vmlinuz generic? [11:01] pan__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:01] pan__: Its like the chicken egg situation [11:01] pan__: i'd ask in 3gentoo, those guys will be able to help you out. You could rename it and see how far you get along the bootup process, you WILL need a livecd to rename it back [11:02] no way to get my mike workin with audacity or skype on jaunty 64 bits [11:02] k [11:02] pan__: good way to learn is playing like that [11:02] can anyone suggest how to disable compiz? it crashed for me. i cannot log into gnome any more. i'm using x terminal failsafe. [11:02] yup [11:02] ActionParsnip: i dont think he is having boot issues?? !" is he [11:02] i agree [11:02] pan__: aah [11:02] ActionParsnip: there should be some place on that USB stick where that data is kept but I can't find out where [11:02] indus: no but if he renames the file he can se where it comes in with the bootup [11:02] pan__: try mkinitrd [11:03] scapor: then you could use find to search the directory structire [11:03] pan__: cool way to create a new init image [11:03] :( [11:03] k [11:03] there's no man page for it [11:03] pan__: nice to mess with the boot process [11:03] pan__: you will need to boot to live cd and mount the partition to rename the file back if you dont get a clean boot. I dont advise it but if you want, you can [11:03] pan__: google [11:03] k [11:03] i will try for fun [11:04] ok enough of complex stuff [11:04] anyone here used unetbootin? [11:04] pan__: u can name vmlinuz anything [11:04] can anyone help me restore compiz? [11:04] Well I'm gone.... more tomorrow.... [11:04] pan__: ive used the minimal iso to install from t'interweb [11:04] trupheenix: are your video drivers installed? [11:05] i had a hard time getting usb to work off of it until i configed the cfg file [11:05] i had to change the kernel location and initrd location [11:05] ActionParsnip: i see you here always :) [11:05] then finally it worked >_< [11:05] ActionParsnip, yes. it was all working fine. i was fiddling with CCSM when it crashed. now i cannot get it back. :( [11:05] indus: work is dead [11:05] nfs-common won't start on my ubuntu 8.10 machine. When starting or restarting it just says "starting NFS common itilities ... [fail]". Any idea how to fix this? [11:05] ok [11:05] hey all....i was using vino as the VNC server on my ubuntu system but the server seems to be pretty slow(i'm running on ethernet so it's not a problem of my network speed) can you guys recommend any good alternatives??? [11:06] trupheenix: try renaming the hidden compiz related folders in ~ [11:06] ActionParsnip, i'm using a standard intel X3100 graphics accelerator. so it all works fine. [11:06] I already checked the permissions of the exports file and that the binaries were executable [11:06] ActionParsnip, there is a .compiz directory. inside which there is a sessions directory. inside which there are a bunch of hashed files. [11:07] compiz sucks [11:07] indus, ok [11:07] i said it :) [11:07] indus, so u know how to disable it ? [11:07] trupheenix: ok then rename that folder [11:07] ActionParsnip, rename??? [11:07] press f2 to rename a file [11:07] indus: i just like to give to the community as the community has given to me [11:08] trupheenix: yes, then when you next run compiz you will get a stock setting. [11:08] ActionParsnip, oh... silly me. it's that SIMPLE? :) [11:08] nice [11:08] ActionParsnip: nothing against compiz, but it gives me a headache and cant run games with it [11:08] trupheenix: if it works, you know its the profile thats screwy, if not you can easily rename back === ROSHA is now known as RoozbehOnline === dooglus_ is now known as dooglus [11:08] ActionParsnip, tx :) [11:09] trupheenix: works with nearly all apps, firefox is a classic for this as its pretty rubbish are ruining its own profile for no reason [11:09] yeah true [11:09] many problems are solved when looking in our hidden home directory [11:09] Could someone tell me where the data in the user's home of a persistent live usb (created with usb-creator) is stored? there's no other partition created, no /home on the usb stick's one partition and an empty /home in the sqaushfs [11:09] hence why i dont use it much [11:10] anyone know what would prevent nfs-common utilities from starting, and result in [fail]? [11:10] anyway kids, i'm outta here. Word to your mother [11:11] indus no use. [11:11] indus, how do i disable it altogether? [11:12] !grub [11:12] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[11:49] ill try thanks [11:49] erm no but thier are keygens [11:49] yeah then no [11:49] it's not free [11:49] keygens != legal [11:49] in windows explorer there used to be a registry hack to add a field like "Open Command Prompt Here" it would open a cmd window at the currently open folder. Is it posible to have that in nautilus? [11:49] i no but for windows everything good costs and on linux i can find most of the stuff free [11:49] hi. we've upgraded to 9.04, and before the upgrade, a windows share was mounted on boot (smbfs/cifs)... now this doesn't happen. I can mount the share manually, but it must mount on boot... how do I make this happen? [11:50] tanveer, find a similiar product that's open source [11:50] and free [11:50] erUSUL: Well I mean, I can just do something like "ssh me@mydomain.com tar -opTiOnS compressed.tgz /folder/" correct? [11:50] hi, I have an issue I dont really understand. I just installed an ubuntu box with static IP address config. My dns server is a windows box, resolv.conf has the box ip address in there, as well as the domain entry there. host.conf has hosts,bind as the order. I can resolve the exchange server using nslookup, but I cant resolve it when I ping the server I just successfully resolved using nslookup? [11:50] !rpm | natrixnatrix89 [11:50] natrixnatrix89: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [11:50] the fstab line is correct, even putting a mount command in /etc/rc.local isn't working [11:50] ScottG: i guess [11:51] erUSUL: Is there a problem with that? [11:51] <_oP> robin0800 at the moment i am using a resolution of 1280x1024 and minimum needed is 1024x768, virtual screen is no good, cant work with that, but thanks anyway [11:51] ScottG: i do not use ssh .... not my area of expertice [11:51] erUSUL: No ssh? What do you use? [11:52] hi i'm stuck installing apcupsd for my ups, is there anyone here that can walk me through it? [11:53] ScottG: i do not administer remote machines ;) so i do not need it... when i used netcat it was in an ad hoc lan to recover files from death (windows) machines [11:53] hi everyone! how do u change resolution in terminal? thanks [11:53] mejobloggs: sudo apt-get install apcupsd [11:53] utakbiya: using xrandr [11:53] tanveer, any other questions? [11:53] i need some help with terminal stuff [11:53] does it stays permanent even when u reboot? [11:54] erUSUL: Man...whats linux life without remote machines [11:54] tanveer, elaborate or no one can help you [11:54] success! Thank's guys! alien works :) [11:54] utakbiya, what do you mean by "changing resolution on terminal"? [11:54] ScottG: boring... that'sd why i spen so much time here XD [11:54] Hi all, I think there may be a bug with qtpfsgui in 9.04, when you make a new HDR you go to the dir with the images and there's nothing there. Even though there are jpg's with 777 permission in that dir.. Anyone else see this? [11:54] iceroot: ok yep, but when i do apcaccess i get connection refused [11:54] natrixnatrix89: but is unsupported and dangerous ?? [11:54] !rpm | natrixnatrix89 [11:54] well i wrote this thing once on a terminal and it the terminal thing asked for a password but it wouldn't let me type anything? [11:55] well i only have 800x600 reso and i want to changed it in the terminal [11:55] yep. but installed the program and everything is fine.. thanks :D [11:55] tanveer, [11:55] tanveer: Youre typing things, it just doesn't show anything. It's a security measure. [11:55] that's a security measure [11:55] it is typing [11:55] it just doesn't show [11:55] tanveer: you can type the password but it is not echoed to you [11:55] MrDudle: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:14] MyWay: I have the info and all [12:14] theo_: I have no idea how to do all that :( [12:14] zetheroo: You need to have the your friend's machine configured, his public IP, and the port you need to connect to.

I cant find out if its a bug a normal behavior [12:38] what is the message .... time to lived exceed [12:38] as400: no i did not I was using ext4 but it would not boot into anything no recovery nothing [12:39] having some problems with logrotate ... can someone help me troubleshoot? I hava placed a custom rotate rule in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng, but this does not seem to be working... [12:39] pitbullthe1st: I used ext3 than ext4 - same problems. Even worse in ext3. Strange thing - disk and memory tested and OK [12:39] nmvictor: crunchbang is a linux distro, based off ubuntu. ther one i am using uses the 8.10 kernel, and is more or less ubuntu, but openbox instead of gnome [12:40] does any 1 no how i can put subtitles using KINO ? [12:40] pitbullthe1st: maybe it's worth trying reiserfs or another kernel ? Like 2.60.30rc3 ? [12:40] as400: My laptop was new so i know there were no problems [12:40] Guess it a bug then [12:40] does anyone experience ubun 9 [12:40] as400: could be [12:41] niblets:is open box better than gnome?i've used gnome for a long time and have never imagined that anything else could be better [12:41] pitbullthe1st: did you notice somebody reporting this as a bug ? I haven't [12:41] as400: no [12:41] nmviktor i wouldnt have switched to crunchbang if it wasnt. and its quite a bit faster too [12:42] nmvictor: not thwe same thing... gnome is comlete desktop openbox is just a window manager [12:42] as400: I did have a look but nuthing I could find [12:42] please help, I'm new to ubuntu, I have a kvm switch one linux machine and one windows,my keyboard and mouse are wireless,when using my ubuntu machine my mouse freeze and keyboard won't work,the only way to fix it is to reboot the ubuntu machine and then it will work for about 10-15 minutes [12:43] erUSUL:Can itcoexist with gnome plus all its other window managers like awn? [12:43] Also id had to update the apt-azpian index in order to see not installed program, Is that just me [12:43] pitbullthe1st: I found some bugs reported in alpha version but all of them looked like resolved. Maybe it's a sata controller driver bug in kernel ? [12:43] erusul is right nmvictor, but, i didnt need a complete desktop setup, [12:44] /window 25 [12:44] nmvictor, i believe you can only use one window manager at a time [12:44] nmvictor: awn is a panel/launcher again no the same thing... you can use openbox instead of metacity/compiz (the gnome windowmanagers) [12:44] niblets:hey,did you make the switch to 9.04? [12:44] nmvictor: and you can use awn with openbox and gnome or only openbox or.... [12:44] nmvictor, 9.04 what, ubuntu? [12:45] as400: May be or were just the 2 most unlucky people on the plant lol [12:45] niblets:yeah [12:45] as400: sorry 3 people [12:45] yeah, i went from vista/8.04 to 9.04, then found crunchbang, and now i only use it [12:46] pitbullthe1st: heheh right... what laptop do you have ? [12:46] as400: Dell XPS M1530 [12:47] erUSUL:so installing it will mean I have to do away with compiz,or I can just leave it insalled and do some disabling and enabling of one or the other? [12:47] pitbullthe1st: well, quite popular hardware than - somebody should also have such problems [12:47] pitbullthe1st: maybe it's a good idea to try new kernels or 32bit version [12:47] Would anyone know why a wireless keyboard and mouse on a KVM switch will not work on Jaunty? [12:48] as400: That was my conclusion as i have a few outher issues with it to [12:48] niblets:have a friend with booting issues after upgrading to 9.04,after tthe first restart,his computer wouldn't boot to ubuntu,only windows.Any ideas? [12:49] does grub come up asking what os to boot to? [12:49] what are dirs that are green with blue text?

[13:12] could use some help in changing boot menu list to get my usb into it.or figuring out bios it gives a usb device but not in the boot options [13:12] nmvictor: that'll be why, Computer Janitor is new to Jaunty, you might be able to find a PPA on Launchpad with it in however [13:12] usr13: any package other than the ones installed by default [13:13] wtv: Never seen that error. Could it be 64bit vs 32bit? [13:13] steeley:so how do i get to the PPA you are talking about,that sounds new? [13:13] usr13: may be. this is an example: Amarok cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. [13:14] Can I somehow use the notification system of 9.04 from a bash script? [13:14] doughed2003: You are pretty much stick with what ever BIOS software the manufacturer provides. You can check for an update but other than that, I don't know.

Thanks. [13:14] wtv: Did you do a 64 bit install? [13:15] usr13: i don't think so because the DVD is for i386. [13:15] usr13, looks like wtv has a 64bit DBD and has installed the 32bit version. [13:16] *DVD [13:16] ibuclaw: you mean i should have downloaded some other version? [13:16] usr13: i updated the bios and got a n usb device in the list of devices to use but the boot options only list cd,hdd and removable device (floppy) [13:16] wtv, did you use the same DVD to install ubuntu ? [13:16] wtv: Are you trying to install packages from the 64bit DVD? [13:17] ibuclaw: yes [13:17] im fascinated with a package qgrubeditor,any one with its package name so I can sudo apt-get install it? [13:17] How do I re-install my video drivers on my netbook, I think it's intel drivers. It's a ADVENT 4213 also known as a G10. It did play 3d stuff, but now it will not even play video without the video app crashing [13:17] usr13: i don't know if the DVD is 64 bit or not [13:17] wtv: Is this machine connected to the internet? [13:17] wtv, did you burn the DVD yourself or get it from a magazine? [13:18] can i please get help [13:18] !ask [13:18] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:18] admin_masu3701: Ask your question [13:18] killin npviewer.bin [13:18] usr13: i dont want to connect the PC to internet and download packages because i have data transfer restrictions. i downloaded a DVD image for the sole purpose of not having to connect tto internet to install stuff [13:18] !enter [13:18] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [13:18] using alot CPU and sound dont work [13:18] ibuclaw: burned it myself [13:18] its ok to install kde over ubuntu or is it best to format and install a fresh kubuntu? [13:19] afeijo: Just install the kubuntu-desktop package [13:19] afeijo: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde [13:19] thanks [13:19] admin_masu3701: Didn't someone try to solve this with you earlier today? [13:19] hey Pici, youre in both channels :) [13:20] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [13:20] please help, I'm new to ubuntu, I have a kvm switch one linux machine and one windows,my keyboard and mouse are wireless,when using my ubuntu machine my mouse freeze and keyboard won't work,the only way to fix it is to reboot the ubuntu machine and then it will work for about 10-15 minutes [13:20] wtv: Sorry to say, but most modern Linux distros require lots of bandwidth. They need to do updates and download all sorts of stuff from the internet, otherwise, you'll just be limiting yourself quite a bit. [13:21] mib_ygh6mf0m: Switch to wired mouse and keyboard. [13:21] usr13: the last choice is of course connecting. but, ideally a DVD should not create such problems, should it? [13:21] wtv you'll always need internet [13:21] wtv: You still need updates. [13:22] wtv: anyways you can download updates somewhere else and burn them to a cd then install them in your pc [13:22] How do I search for a file by the a part of the text inside it? [13:23] elad, grep [13:23] wtv: Having a Linux system restricted from the internet is like only driving your car in the driveway :( [13:23] elad: grep [13:23] usr13: i do need internet for updates, and i'll use it too. after a fresh install of ubuntu, say i want all DEs, internet is not really a convinient place to get em from (with my low-speed connection) [13:24] we could consider the roads an extension of the driveway, couldnt we ? :--) [13:24] unop:how is that done,i've always wanted to know how to use grep command,sounds too powerfull [13:24] nmvictor: man grep [13:24] nmvictor, grep has a manpage [13:24] wtv: Where do you live? [13:24] usr13: india [13:24] :) [13:24] hi [13:24] hi nutzer [13:24] usr13: the internet speed is 192 kbps [13:25] wtv: You may need another DVD [13:25] usr13: which DVD [13:26] Does anybody know of a way to import .m3u files into rhythmbox ? [13:26] wtv, just download them all and wait :) [13:27] usr13: there's only one DVD image for i386, which i downloaded [13:28] hey, i have a problem and i've been trying to fix it for 4 days now but had no luck up until now... i lost my 1280x800 resolution after connecting laptop to external display, and now can't get it back. i added modeline to xrandr, but still can't choose it... how do i fix this? [13:28] nmvictor: You should read man grep but basically just something like this: grep wireless will find any file with the word wireless in the current directory. grep -i wireless will do the same but the -i ignores case sensitivity. [13:28] JuJuBee, They should just play... as long as you have the gstreamer bad and ugly plugins installed [13:29] usrl3:thanks alot,was asking for something abit straight forward like that [13:29] usr13, grep wireless # will actually look for 'wireless' in the input coming in through STDIN not all files in the current dir [13:29] wtv: What is the exact error it's giving you? === Yoda is now known as Guest11181 [13:30] help me please...i've got a problem...i've downloaded my modem's driver from here http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php but it's free version accepts only 14kb/s speed ...where do i can get a free one which works normal ? [13:31] unop: Thanks for the correction. [13:31] i have another problem, my pidgin internet messenger doesnt connect to msn, how do fix this? [13:31] usr13: never mind, i'll use the internet. thanks :) [13:31] it used to work fine but now it wont connect [13:32] user13 so there is no solutions for my wireless issue [13:32] nmvictor: You have to tell grep where to search, or what files to search. Disreguard what I just told you and read man grep for accurate info. [13:32] * Mechdave is back (gone 00:12:27) [13:32] * Mechdave is away: Sorry but a man's gotta sleep sometime :) [13:32] seriously [13:33] usrl3:ok [13:33] Houba1986: Try using msn-pecan http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/ [13:33] !away > Mechdave [13:33] Mechdave, please see my private message [13:33] can someone please help me? this problem is driving me crazy.......... i lost my 1280x800 resolution and cant get it back [13:34] Houba1986: When did you have it?

[13:42] jelly12gen: doesn't say which one is stronger than which [13:43] p-f: 9 is the best [13:43] khensthoth, no, it keeps on the same white bands on the screen [13:43] jelly12gen: then why isn't it working?

[14:06] ok [14:06] MarshWiggle_: What did you install, or how did you install Nvidia driver? [14:06] admin_masu3701: Ask to see if you can install Ubuntu 32 bit on your 64 bit system. If you can, install it, use firefox and flash from there. [14:07] What's your problem dacas?

[14:09] MarshWiggle_: Maybe just go back to OS driver. [14:09] stiiixy [14:09] that was for me ? [14:09] usr13: I could go back to the OS driver. but then i will still have the problem of not having the avaliable resolutions [14:10] MarshWiggle_: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ;sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [14:10] MarshWiggle_: Really?

[14:14] khensthoth: i dunno what that is [14:14] usr13: it has been a strange problem. I was considering whether i might have to manually add the screen resolution in xorg.conf, though i tried this already to no effect. [14:14] Houba1986: in terminal, sudo apt-get install msn-pecan. [14:15] khensthoth: i like the program pidgin though, and it used to work, but now it doesnt [14:15] Houba1986: Restart Pidgin, Create new account. instead of using MSN protocol, now use WLM. [14:16] creative83: on adobe site..it does say if its flash 32 or 64 [14:16] Houba1986: msn-pecan is a plugin for Pidgin. Just try it to see if it works. [14:17] MarshWiggle_ I think it's the new monitor sense software that's mested up [14:17] MarshWiggle_: The problem you have is that KDE trys to set resolution for you and I don't know how to override that function. Maybe someone else here can help us. [14:17] sacarlson: do you mean they just haven't caught up with these bugs yet [14:18] khensthoth: sorry, accidentally got logged out, what was the code for msn pecan again? [14:18] MarshWiggle_: I think there's a fix somewhere [14:18] Houba1986: sudo apt-get install msn-pecan [14:18] usr13: yeah i thought something like that. though i figured everything is still stored in a file somewhere, so technically i should be able to find the nvidia config file somehow and change it [14:18] any cool network monitor out their for download? [14:18] nmvictor: Conky ;D [14:18] sacarlson: if you're familiar with where i could find the fix that's be awsome,, if not that;'s cool. i'll keep looking [14:18] MarshWiggle_: apt-cache showpkg krandr [14:19] I started the upgrade process from 8.10 to 9.04 before I went to sleep last night. Wake up, and my Bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo is refusing to pair, so I can't acknowledge a question dialog spawned as part of the upgrade. Plug in a USB keyboard and mouse, and X11 won't take input from those, either. If I kill applets and such from a console VT, dialogs pop up on the X screen asking if I want to restart them, so I know X isn't *completely* locked [14:19] MarshWiggle_: no I"m still stuck too [14:19] accept keyboard and mouse input so I can continue the upgrade process? [14:19] MarshWiggle_: I also tried direct from nvidia.com [14:19] shortcircuit: Frest Installs are always the best option, backup.... and Fresh Install. [14:19] coleys:its in the repositories? [14:19] usr13: "W: Unable to locate package krandr [14:20] another thing, how do i register my nickname on the server using nickserv? so i don't keep getting that annoying popup each time i log in??? [14:20] usr13: and apt-get install didn't seem to find krand either [14:20] nmvictor: Yeah, it requires customization... lemme show you one sec. [14:20] sacarlson: how did that go [14:20] MarshWiggle_: I spent one full day on it and gave up and now use just nv driver not the propriatary driver [14:20] MarshWiggle_: apt-get search Nvidia [14:20] MarshWiggle_: apt-cache search Nvidia [14:20] do this one ^^^ [14:20] is there a way to know the control type (ie. drawingarea, label) on a Gtk::Widget using gtkmm? [14:21] sacarlson: did that end up working? [14:21] coleys: Not even close to an ideal solution, considering how many source-built and tweaked packages I'm running [14:21] Gah. epic4 makes it almost impossible to follow this channel. [14:21] MarshWiggle_: it did the same as the what it did when I used the normal >System>Administration>Hardware driver [14:22] MarshWiggle_: ya the nv driver works just not all the bells and wistles [14:22] nmvictor: http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotlfb.png [14:22] MarshWiggle_: You may need something like kcmnvview [14:22] coleys: You're still showing your cool conky ? =) [14:22] coleys:thanks [14:22] usr13: would that be an easy apt-get install type thing? [14:23] MarshWiggle_: Or nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-settings [14:23] all you die? === G`Off is now known as Gnoll [14:23] MarshWiggle_: Yes [14:23] khensthoth: nmvictor Wanted download monitor =p [14:23] i've got nvidia-settings. i just gives me an alternate way to change the screen resolution, but again only from the limited range of options [14:23] khensthoth: i tried installing msn-pecan and making a wlm account, but still no luck, same error msg, how do i fix this? [14:24] coleys:k something to monitor and show my network traffic [14:24] MarshWiggle_: YOu could try adding modelines to the xorg.conf file too, but that has been hit and miss for me with the late versions of xorg [14:24] Houba1986: Do you have an account with other protocol? Try them to see if it's a network issue. [14:24] usr13: yeah i had the same experince down the xorg path [14:24] why is mplayer in jaunty "obselete" version.. well thats what it says when i run smplayer. [14:24] MarshWiggle_: .. and the problem with that is that the KDE settings thing overrides it anyway. [14:24] nmvictor: Did you have any interest in the monitor in the screenshot? [14:24] Ok, pretty dump question. When entering the "man" command. How do you get out of the resulting data file? [14:24] dump = dumb [14:24] TX-Dan: press q [14:25] Pici, thanks [14:25] usr13: hmm, i know that in the basic principle, even those overide setting must be stored somewhere, i bet someone knows where, i'll keep searching [14:25] MarshWiggle_: Did you try apt-get install nvidia-settings ? [14:25] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER Houba1986 ycxcxsinvqqh [14:25] ketapang [14:26] MarshWiggle_: Yes, search for a way to keep KDE from taking over because I don't think KDE knows how to get settings right for your monitor. [14:26] usr13: yes, i already have nvidia-settings. it actually comes when you install the nvidia drivers. it only lets you choose from the same limited list of resolutions i alreay had, i can't configure them or add to them [14:26] !netsplit [14:26] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [14:26] MarshWiggle_: I thought so. [14:26] helo [14:26] usr13: thanks, you've helped me look in the right direction [14:27] MarshWiggle_: I use the opensource driver. (But then, I have legacy Nvidia card.) [14:27] MarshWiggle_: have you installed the repo drivers or the nvida ones? [14:27] usr13: how do i go about installing the opensource driver? [14:28] pitbullthe1st_: the nvidia ones [14:28] i tried to update and got an error: backend took too much time to the process the request- you need to fork. [14:28] in nautilus, if I drag a file from one folder to another on the same partition, it moves the file, but it I drag from one partition to another, it copies. how can I always have it move, not copy? [14:29] MarshWiggle_: ok am i corect in that you cant get the right res? [14:29] pitbullthe1st_: yes, i insalled the nvidia drivers and i cannot get the correct resolution that i need [14:30] pitbullthe1st_: ya me too is falls back to vesa mode after failing to find a mode [14:30] hey guys, i have a problem, my sound not working... [14:30] in fact, my nvidia settings incorrectly thinks that i'm using a CRT monitor. I just don't think kde is correctly detecting [14:30] Hi, I and brand-spanking-new to Ubuntu.

[14:31] i_love_maria_oza: And what is your sound care [14:31] MarshWiggle_: I'm in gnome with this same problem so I don't think the problem is in kde [14:31] yeah... [14:31] card* [14:31] admin_masu3701: Yes. It should state that its 64bit. [14:31] im using intrepid no problem [14:32] but when i upgrade to jaunty [14:32] no sound.. [14:32] mwas: No clue. Sorry [14:32] pitbullthe1st_: yes i did, it was not a help [14:32] Pitbullthe1st_: I did try that detect display with no effect [14:32] sacarlson: good to know i'm not alone lol [14:33] MarshWiggle_: ya as a group maybe we can fix this [14:33] Hi is their free download manager for ubuntu [14:33] do you have a problem same like me guys? [14:33] vhrs_1708 [14:33] what gcards are you to using ? [14:33] sacarlson: I'm wondering whether this is worthy of a jaunty bug reoprt of sorts then [14:33] hi all. i am trying to achieve a higher resolution for the terminals on ctrl-alt-Fx, but i haven't succeeded so far. i know about the grub boot option vga= and also i knoe to display a list of supported modelines with 'sudo hwinfo --framebuffer'. however, when i switch to a terminal, i only see a white cursor blinking on black background with very low res, assumingly 640x480. how can i have a highres terminal? [14:33] MarshWiggle_: there is one drive I failed to try yet if you want to take a wack at it [14:33] I think there already is one [14:33] i_love_maria_oza: Tell us what your sound card is so we can better diagnose the problem. [14:34] MarshWiggle_: but yes it is [14:34] MarshWiggle_: What card are you using? [14:34] creative83: thanks for responding, can I post it on mailing list [14:34] pitbullthe1st_: nVidia Geforce 6200 [14:34] creative83: is there a separate mailing list for handling videos in ubuntu [14:34] nVidia Corporation GeForce 6100 nForce 405 [14:34] good morning all [14:34] khensthoth:: intel [14:34] but I don't think it's the card it's the monitor [14:35] khensthoth:: im using HP Pavilion laptop [14:35] sacarlson: what's your monitor? [14:35] khensthoth:: before this i use intrepid, and no problem with sound [14:35] i_love_maria_oza: Hang on. [14:35] creative83: it just say flash 10 [14:35] MarshWiggle_: sycnmaster 932b [14:36] can you post your xorg.conf file on pastebin.com [14:36] sacarlson: what's the image look like with the nvidia propietry drivers [14:36] MarshWiggle_: can you post your xorg.conf file on pastebin.com [14:36] pitbullthe1st_: sure, http://pastebin.com/fad0dfc [14:37] MarshWiggle_ it never gets to nvidia driver it falls back to vesa [14:37] khensthoth:: or i need to reinstall codec? [14:37] does anyone know a good website to improve ubuntu performance ? [14:37] MarshWiggle_ that gives me like 800X600 [14:37] another day... another several system lockups requiring me to turn the power off to my machine and then reboot. *sigh* === miss_MuTe_ is now known as c0_ponti [14:38] sacarlson: ah. i remember readin in one forum that you can actually configure a ~/. hidden file that has the nvidia settings on it, can't find that now [14:38] TecR0c: there aren't any that I know of. What type of hardware are you using? [14:38] MarshWiggle_ where in your home dir that would be cool [14:38] how do i encode in h263 using ffmpeg... in spite of installing all missing codecs its showing "Incorrect parameters" though i use standard qcif resolution [14:39] MarshWiggle_ but maybe that was in privios version [14:39] hi [14:39] sriramoman: isnt' the ffmpeg in ubuntu crippled or did they resolve that? [14:39] i tried to update and got an error: backend took too much time to the process the request- you need to fork. [14:39] sacarlson: perhaps, i don't have the info now (goes searching again) [14:39] histo i have a dell E4600 with 2.8 processor and 4gig of ram [14:39] i wanna know if there was asoftware which ubuntu supports for doing assembly level programming [14:39] sriramoman: maybe it does not support it... ffmpeg from repos has some codecs disabled for legal reasons [14:39] sriramoman: medibuntu has alternative packages [14:39] !medibuntu [14:39] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [14:39] histo: oh is it coz it is crippled eh? in hardy it worked perfectly so i thought it'd work [14:39] TecR0c: and you are experiencing slow downs or performance issues? [14:40] erUSUL: should i install medibuntu's version of ffmpeg? [14:40] !divx [14:40] 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 [14:40] sriramoman: hrm... shouldn't be much different from hardy's version. You can see if medibuntu has a ffmpeg that will be uncrippled definately [14:40] TecR0c: Use top to see what it looks like and then turn off some un-used things like maybe pcmcia or whatever. [14:40] histo i still have my linux partition so when i created my ubuntu partition i couldn't fit swap === ohol1ks is now known as chol [14:41] getting ready to move this machine from debian lenny to jaunty jackalope. wish me luck! [14:41] TecR0c: well that may lead to an issue [14:41] !swap | TecR0c [14:41] TecR0c: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [14:41] sacarlson: i might have a look where the resolutions settings are moved to, since they are no longer displayed in the xorg.conf in jaunty [14:41] MarshWiggle_ ok cool [14:42] TecR0c: histo I do not think swap is an issue for him since he has 4G RAM. [14:42] MarshWiggle_: have you tried in system>preferences>resolutin [14:42] MarshWiggle_ I think it fills them in after it sense what monitor you have hooked up.

[15:15] Denkzettel1: it redownloads the packages list [15:15] skapism: nah, i just clicked on update [15:16] Tophu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=522994 [15:16] Denkzettel1: you might want to do it on the console, it's more transparent and you can see whether it gets the packages list from the right mirror [15:17] @histo: ok 1 sec let me pull it up [15:17] hi, does anyone know how to prevent my volume from being nute on startup? [15:17] skapism: sudo apt-get update has shown, that he's still using ubuntu.com mirror [15:17] iim not sure how to change that with pulseaudio [15:17] Tophu: has some suggestions on how to get it working. Seems like those keyboard use the .net framework for the software that comes with them. [15:17] Denkzettel1: did you remove it completely from /etc/apt/sources.list and save the file? [15:18] Denkzettel1: I would jsut comment them out rather than remove them. [15:18] Denkzettel1: put a # in front [15:18] thx khensthoth , my problem solve..!!!!! [15:18] every time i login to my comp, it dosen't start gdm and i have to do 'sudo gdm' in a tty each time... my /etc/X11/default-display-manager reads '/usr/sbin/gdm' [15:18] skapism: i just replaced one line [15:18] yup :-( I might just throw it out and get a new keyboard but I really like the "gaming" area on the left much better than normal wasd [15:18] i_love_maria_oza: no problem. solution from online anyway. =) [15:19] Denkzettel1: just do a replace of all matching strings of the current mirror with the new mirror, I believe gedit has that function [15:19] hey guys, i am having a horrible issue: /usr/share/debconf/confmodule: 35: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then") [15:19] Tophu, whats up? [15:19] Really none with the same problem? [15:19] update-manager --dist-upgrade crashes on me when doing the upgrade. Not every useful. "ERROR:root:failed to import apport python module, can't report bug: No module named python_hook" [15:20] Denkzettel1: I could provide you with the sed line for it too, if you want [15:20] oh wait that page was for the regular zboard I have a merc zboard 1 sec I'll look up the ubuntuforums post I was reading last night [15:20] skapism: do it pleace [15:21] ok this is it but I downloaded Mr. Pig's "driver" and can't figure out what to do http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385426 [15:21] jmworx__: sudo do-release-upgrade -d [15:21] it's compiled and installed but doesn't seem to do anything for me [15:21] jmworx__: sudo do-release-upgrade -d [15:21] lol [15:21] looking to get my tftp server working, did apt-get install tftpd and xinetd; then i made a file /etc/xinetd.d/tftp : http://pastebin.com/m29d693a7 ; restarted xinetd via /etc/init.d/xinetd restart, i see from lsof that its listening on Ipv4 0.0.0.0 udp:tftp but attempts to rx files from the server are timing out. [15:22] skapism: i think i did it, thank you [15:22] jmworx__: usr13 histo: NO. -d will upgrade to the latest Development release... which is Karmic at this point. [15:22] if anyone has setup a tftp server with ubuntu before i'd be greatful for the help. [15:22] Denkzettel1: working now? [15:22] Tophu: You may also want to ask people in other channels like #linuxhelp since its kind of obscure hardware. Just expand your chances of someone having it working. [15:22] usr13, histo: Actually, I just did an "apt-get dist-upgrade". Now there's broken dependencies [15:22] kb3ien: I've used proftpd and vsftpd [15:22] "libgbf-1-2: Depends: libgbf-1-common (= 2.24.1-1) but it is not installed" [15:23] great idea histo thanks [15:23] jmworx__: apt-get -f install [15:23] i think proftpd doesnt speak tftp. [15:23] I have auto-login enabled, gdm is set as the default display manager, and I want my account to auto-login to gnome rather than kde. Where is this set? [15:23] How do you move panels to other monitors in 9.04? I can't seem to move my panels at all [15:23] jmworx__: Or just remove offending packages.

[15:27] jmworx__: sudo do-release-upgrade is fine. Don't use the -d switch [15:27] Pici: Please advise... === crankhar1er is now known as crankharder [15:27] hey guys, i am having a horrible issue: /usr/share/debconf/confmodule: 35: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then") [15:27] ========> An alle Deutschen in diesem channel: Bitte unterzeichnet auch die Petition gegen die Indizierung und Sperrung von Internetseiten auf bundestag.de: https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/index.php?action=petition;sa=details;petition=3860 [15:27] join #fedora-cn [15:27] "No new release found" [15:28] since no one is bothering to help, i'll just continue to ask [15:28] can anyone help me with my sound driver? [15:28] So what now? [15:28] usr13: The -d argument will tell it to upgrade to the latest development release. Karmic is the latest development release. [15:28] jmworx__: Download alternate DVD and use that. [15:28] it appers, that i dont have sound at all [15:28] appears* [15:28] Damn, I thought not screwing up dependencies was a solved problem for a long time now [15:28] Pici: Oh I see. So just drop the -d ? [15:28] usr13: indeed. [15:29] jmworx__: sudo do-release-upgrade [15:29] usr13: "No new release found" [15:29] seems i fixed my issue myself -_- [15:29] i fixed it by reinstalling debconf from the repositories [15:29] i use the linux driver for my rtl8185 wifi card but it's not working. what can i do? [15:30] I mean, I managed to upgrade to Januty. It's just that there's now updates and I have no way to install them [15:30] has anyone used graphic intel 945gme on ubuntu? i'm particularly interested in 3d. on glxgears i've got less than 150 fps, and on i.e. halflife via wine 1 frame per 20-30 seconds! [15:30] jmworx__: lsb_release -a === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [15:30] i tried to search for hardware drivers in system > admin > hardware drivers, but only my graph card is recognized [15:30] exiton: the .29 kernel have some improvements when it comes to wifi support [15:30] jmworx__: What error do you get when you try to upgrade? [15:30] themad: Apparently, Jaunty includes an "upgrade" to the intel video driver that totally trashes 3D performance at least on my 945-based laptop [15:31] does ubuntu have sound issues? [15:31] jmworx__: is this anything i can do in this case? [15:31] Is there a way for me to restart my sound card? [15:31] Mion: isn't there anything i can do right now? it was working with ndiswrapper but not anymore since the upgrade to 9.04 [15:31] jmworx__: go back to generic OS driver [15:31] Denkzettel: i had problem with microphone, but installing alsa 1.0.19 solved them [15:32] you can always upgrade the kernel [15:32] http://pastebin.com/m74ccbabe [15:32] i have 1.0.18 :/ [15:32] Pici: http://pastebin.com/m74ccbabe [15:32] quit [15:32] usr13: What do you mean by "generic OS driver" and how do I do that? [15:32] racecar56: try installing 1.0.19 from sources from alsa-project.org [15:33] themad: Apparently, someone has packaged the older version of the driver and there's instructions on how to downgrade, but I have not tried [15:33] why don't all my services appear under System->Services? For example, I want to disable Tor o Mediatomb, but they don't appear on the list [15:33] jmworx__: you dont have to downgrade it, do you? [15:33] jmworx__: uninstall anjuta [15:34] tyler_d, did you get my other message? [15:34] themad: for now, I just live with the horrible 3D performance. Haven't had time to fix it. Link is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 [15:34] a strange thing happened a few days ago: the battery on my laptop ran out.. and the next time i started it, it started behaving strangely in the beginning everything is ok but after some time: pidgin closes automatically after successfully logging in, firefox can't sign in to ebay/gmail/others or search through the little toolbar, kmess complains about dcop... service which is not running. But when switching to guest account everything is normal. [15:34] how to fix my normal user account? [15:34] racecar56: please resend....

[15:35] jmworx__: you think that it could fix it? [15:35] can someone give me their m25 of /bin/cat? [15:35] *md5 [15:35] jmworx__: Looks like a bug for that was already logged https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anjuta/+bug/371245 I'd try uninstalling it before you try to upgrade. [15:35] themad: I have no idea. I'm always suspicious of solutions like that, but it could work. [15:35] racecar56: and have you done dpkg-reconfigure gdm [15:35] tyler_d, yes [15:36] jmworx__: ok, i'll try it in few minutes, and ill tell you if something new happens [15:36] racecar56: from term do `which gdm` then check the owner and execution permisions on that [15:36] Jupp: Some server packages can run as stand alone applications and that may be the case with Mediatom. [15:36] Hey guys. I need a little help. PulseAudio recognises me speaking into the mic, but I have no idea how to choose it in Sound Recorder. [15:36] tyler_d, /usr/sbin/gdm [15:37] I know it recognises me speaking because I downloaded padevchooser. [15:37] Is there no one here who can tell me how to restart my sound card? [15:37] armenb, i know how [15:37] hey, I am having a problem with firefox. It is constantly telling me it has been updated and must be restarted, but I have restarted it dozens of times and it still shows the notification. [15:37] armenb, 'sudo reboot' [15:37] !sound | armence [15:37] armence: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[15:39] racecar56: isn't it in baseutils? you might be running a different version [15:40] sudo killall firefox returns "firefox: no process killed" [15:40] What do I need to isntall to be able to see flash vidoes embeded in websites? (using 9.04) [15:40] hey, i'm getting spam emails from cannonical [15:40] Cige: what does 'pidof firefox' return? [15:40] and I still get the message [15:40] stuckey: flashplugin-nonfree [15:40] pidof firefox returns nothing [15:40] ok all of a sudden the sound doesnt work, any ideas? i restarted X i restarted alsa and no change at all and yes i'm sure it's not muted :) [15:40] skapism, im on 9.04 [15:40] stuckey: I believe installing in the browser is supported [15:40] stuckey: But make sure you havent got Gnash/SWFDEC installed as well. [15:40] mattgirv: don't want to use adobe... want open-source [15:41] racecar56: I'm not 9.04 beta 5, I believe === racecar56 is now known as racecar56-ubuntu [15:41] mattgirv: I'm trying to record audio. PulseAudio Volume Control recognises me speaking into the mic, but I can't choose it in Sound Recorder. === racecar56-ubuntu is now known as racecar56 [15:41] racecar56-ubuntu: the package might have changed since then [15:41] stuckey: Well use SWFDEC then, but they conflict with each other so dont have more than one installed [15:41] where should i talk about spam emails from cannonical? [15:41] stuckey: Also SWFDEC/Gnash are both still buggy compared to flashplugin-nonfree... but thats your calll [15:41] skapism, O_o im on 9.04 final [15:41] Cige, I would completely uninstall firefox and install it again [15:41] because im getting loads [15:41] teapot: You might want to get a more flexible app for recording in all honesty, check out Audacity. [15:41] ok, I'd have to use synaptic then, right? [15:42] the regular one wouldn't let me uninstall [15:42] cige, or "sudo apt-get remove firefox" [15:42] ok [15:42] teapot: But in Sound Recorder make sure your inputs point to whatever its being piped through (ie, PulseAudio/ALSA) [15:42] teapot: It's just so that I can get the mic working. If I can get that going, I might get an Ekiga account. [15:42] racecar56: lemma look, just a sec [15:42] d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e is my md5sum for /bin/cat, anyone else have the same or what? ===im running 9.04 RELEASE=== [15:42] mattgirv* [15:42] skapism, k [15:42] cige, what do you mean "the regular one"? [15:43] racecar56: i cannot tell you because i'm running Hardy, but i might suggest you install the "debsums" package to check that your files' checksums are correct [15:43] I enabled visual effects and i have cool features like "real" transparency but my text looks like a mess :( [15:43] the add/remove applications menu [15:43] mattgirv: It says "Record from input" and "Capture" is the only option... Unhelpful. [15:43] jmworx__: ping? [15:43] LjL, thx, anyway you doin hardy still? O_o (well it is lts) [15:43] Apparently, the whole thing is documented at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html [15:43] i'm going to reinstall firefox now [15:43] themad: pong [15:43] cige, do "sudo apt-get remove firefox" and then "sudo apt-get install firefox" [15:43] racecar56: i like kde 3.5 [15:43] racecar56: it's in coreutils, apparently [15:43] !clone [15:43] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [15:44] LjL, ahhh... same here, although nowadays im using gnome [15:44] hi [15:44] jmworx__: i've got worse performance with downgreaded drivers, 50fps less. [15:44] LjL, just to get away from kde4 [15:44] from 150 to 100 [15:44] Anyone knows if someone's working on a real update to fix the video performance problem? [15:44] any recommandation how to understand the hard drive of ubuntu [15:44] what should i do to get sound on my ubuntu?? [15:44] themad: Did you check it's using the "new" driver? [15:44] themad: try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html [15:44] (haven't tested myself) [15:44] can any body help me with grub error 17 [15:44] teapot: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sound-solutions-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html Have a look through this, and install any missing packages [15:44] hi [15:45] demon_, www.lmgtfy.com [15:45] how do i become root? [15:45] wont i get any help here? [15:45] (complete newbie here) [15:45] themad: jaunty has just fallen between the chairs. either wait for the new graphics infrastructure to stabilise, or revert to intrepid [15:45] that didn't work... the command line showed that it was uninstalling, but the add/remove menu showed it never was uninstalled, and the error is still there [15:45] GodHand, su [15:45] skapism: mb you'll help me please? [15:45] looks like sudo apt-get remove firefox didn't work [15:45] haha racecar56 [15:45] :-* [15:45] skapism: i dont have any sound on my laptop apparently [15:45] Denkzettel: what's the problem? [15:45] demon_, :> [15:45] skapism: you think, that on interprid i would have much better performance? [15:46] racecar56, if you know tell me [15:46] themad: yes, the intel driver in intrepid is stable and fast [15:46] I folks. I'm running ubuntu on my laptop that has 4GB of RAM, but I think the OS is only seeing 3GB. What's a good way to check this? [15:46] themad: only jaunty has those regressions because of gem/kms [15:46] skapism: i don't even know whether hardware is not recognized or it's something else [15:46] hey all [15:46] demon_, i don't really know grub error codes well [15:46] themad: basically, the driver in jaunty is too new for the kernel, so far as I understand it [15:46] wad, cat /proc/meminfo? [15:46] Cige, what was the error? [15:47] themad: not an intel user myself though, so meh [15:47] i understand. [15:47] when I try to remove firefox, I get an error, "cannot remove 'firefox 3.0 branding'" [15:47] i see ;) [15:47] petrolman, Ah, thanks! MemTotal: 3106436 kB [15:47] at least, when I go through the add/remove menu [15:47] is there a way to migrate all my Firefox bookmarks, passwords and add-ons from MS Windows to ubuntu? [15:47] ill try what jmworx__ gave me, and than i'll check it on interprid UNR live ;) [15:47] it says some applications are dependent, could that be my addons? [15:47] mattgirv: Nevermind. :) In Preferences > Sound I had to choose PulseAudio. [15:47] but let's see: [15:47] can gedit actually also shrink ntfs partitions? [15:48] Intrepid: glxgears = ~1000fps, ppracer = ~23fps. [15:48] mattgirv: Thanks very much for your help. [15:48] Jaunty (default configuration): glxgears = ~300fps, ppracer = ~19fps [15:48] Okay then, ubuntu is only seeing 3 GB of RAM, when I've got 4 in the machine. What's wrong? [15:48] themad: intel have switched over to the new graphics stack and are slowly cleaning up all stuff. I expect the regressions to be completely solved by karmic (which will get .30 or .31) [15:48] omfg how many users!!!! [15:48] I am having issues installing my previous installed applications using the file my_applications [15:48] Cige, try removing from synaptip [15:48] oooo ooo ok new question I have a logitech MX610 mouse with like 10 mappable buttons (without counting the left and right click) how can I map map these buttons [15:48] wad, i believe you are correct, in that it only seeing roughly about 3GB. you'd need to enable PAE and i'm not sure what packages to apt-get to enable that in the desktop version to enable that, maybe someone else might [15:48] ok [15:48] errr.... can gparted actually also shrink ntfs partitions? [15:48] all.old* [15:48] yes [15:48] i have ubuntu amd64 & upgrade to kubuntu did i have more updates [15:48] yeah but i need 3d for yesterday ;) [15:48] teapot: One stick may not be seated well.

[15:48] demon_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 might help [15:48] every app it is saying something like, "no candidate information found for app..." [15:48] teapot: Yeah its a bit of a lengthy process but you'll find its worthwhile in the end when everything works properly together [15:48] usr13: Sorry, I don't understand. [15:49] nztal, okay... so I need to do something special to get it to see the memory? That seems wrong somehow.... [15:49] teapot: will pay out eventually. intel is still currently the most 'open' company between it, amd and nvidia. and gem rocks :) [15:49] I told synaptic to reinstall firefox, let's see if that works [15:50] how i know my system works fine & fully update [15:50] does anyone know what I can do? [15:50] Hi, I've got ufw complaying about ownership of /, /usr/share/, and /usr (see http://pastebin.com/m28d559c) what should I do ? [15:50] yeah, BTW is there netboox remix of ubuntu 8.10? [15:50] Is this just a bug with Ubuntu, or is it just linux in general that can't see more than 3 GB of RAM? [15:50] themad: unofficial, I believe, yes [15:50] how i know my system works fine & fully update [15:50] wad: any 32bit system has issues with 3gb+ [15:50] themad: jaunty is the first official release so far as I know. btw, did you try easy peasy? [15:51] Thanks guys. See ya [15:51] wad: 32 bit kernels can only see ~3gb of RAM. You'll need the server kernel (which may not support your hardware) or the 64bit installer. [15:51] easy peasy? not yet.. catchy name ;) [15:51] hi. Could someone please run pacmd in terminal, look at it, and tell me, if there is a way, how to include pacmd commands in a bash script. (because just a line with for example pacmd set-default-sink xxx works in command line, but doesnt work, if i add such a line in a bash script) There must be a syntax, how to add it in a script... [15:51] themad: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=easypeasy [15:52] synaptic won't let me remove firefox either, it just turns the firefox selection red...

[15:52] stuckey: What package? [15:52] Ah, I see. Hmm. I guess this is one case where Windows XP is superior.

[15:53] raw as in image [15:53] stuckey: its swfdec-mozilla anyway [15:53] Cige, sudo apt-get install firefox --reinstall [15:53] orudie: you might need audicity for that. [15:53] wad: your wrong xp will see the same amount [15:54] i need to be able to view .raw image format [15:54] not audio [15:54] images [15:54] raw images [15:54] Jupp: I did that already, nothing happened === ubuntu_ is now known as darkham [15:54] orudie: file filename.raw [15:54] it was still installed [15:54] Seriously? Wow, now I want to reboot and check it out! [15:54] Maybe I made a bad assumption. [15:54] wad: XP cannot map 4GB of ram [15:54] Denkzettel: maybe you didnt select all available applications (on the top bar) [15:54] wad: unless it's a 64bit, and it'S a major fail [15:54] orudie: It it truly is an image file, try gimp.

[15:55] ikonia: what's required on their part so that I can access their machine? [15:55] wad: I believe it stops at around 3.2gib, since it reserves some address space for some wicked stuff [15:55] cant open with gimp [15:55] orudie: what does file filename.raw say about it? (where filename.raw is the actual file name).

How do I install the alternative version of 9.04 with a usb-stick? [15:56] cige, don't know why synaptic is not allowing you to unistall firefox [15:56] Could someone please run pacmd in terminal, look at it, and tell me, if there is a way, how to include pacmd commands in a bash script. (because just a line with for example pacmd set-default-sink xxx works in command line, but doesnt work, if i add such a line in a bash script) There must be a syntax, how to add it in a script... [15:56] can someone please explain what would cause this: http://pastebin.com/m257ea5fa [15:56] hi anybody knows how to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 NBR? [15:56] Jupp: yeah, it's weird, it says there's an application dependent on it [15:56] Wow, you guys are right! WinXP is only using 3 GB also. I feel like a fool now! [15:56] lundh: I just did an install from a usb stick... more extensive then you would think.. however just google it and follow the guide [15:57] \_O.o_? [15:57] Chaos_AD1: just get the netbook remix, otherwise you'd be dragging about a lot of bloat [15:57] ikonia: and then what after they install this package? [15:57] lundh: only took me about 15 total to do.... with download I might add :) [15:57] stuckey: thats it [15:57] BWAHAHAHA!!! My linux will beat the Windows boxen yet... now I just need to configure it to use 4GB! [15:57] then I just need to do "ssh " [15:57] stuckey: configure the router to forward port 22 to their computer [15:57] Wolves|Viktor: using a 64bit ubuntu install will be the most straight forward way to utilie 4gb of ram [15:57] tyler_d: I'm hoping they won't need to do that. [15:57] wad: this has nothing to do with OS being better. it's just a physical limitation [15:58] with which* [15:58] * tyler_d crosses his fingers for you stuckey [15:58] I just ran sudo apt-get remove firefox, and then I opened forefox and it started, so i'll assume that it is still installed [15:58] tyler_d: is it normally required? [15:58] Wolves|Viktor: sorry - that wasn 't for you [15:58] wad: it just took microsoft, as usual, longer :) [15:58] stuckey: yes.... [15:58] wad: using a 64bit ubuntu install will be the most straight forward way to utilie 4gb of ram [15:58] stuckey: routers are cheap nowadays... most people have one [15:58] help | i uninstalled my xp and installed ubuntu , i connect to internet by ethrnet , while using xp it got connected , now even the lights not glowing in backof the ethernet card [15:58] hi, do you know of any songbook software for ubuntu? Program that is able to import songs with chords and print a songbook? [15:58] i use Intel card [15:58] any1 can help? cant find apache or php in Synaptic, already tried the update-apt-xapian-index but didnt help, any other solutions? [15:58] am really stuck here [15:58] somebody please help [15:59] well, thanks for your help, but I have to get to class, I'll try again later [15:59] rs: maybe you have to install the lan drivers [15:59] anyone known why there is no power managment anymore when overclocking the cpu on ubuntu? [15:59] rs: click on the network icon on the top right. [15:59] PleXuS: i think it's one of the tradeoffs of overclocking the cpu [15:59] rs: does it say that there is "wired network" [15:59] Hi all, I just setted up a serial console via ttyS0 and if i do a ps axf |grep tty i see the new getty on ttyS0. On the client side i configure minicom to access it through my usb adapter ttyUSB0. But i dont get any login or anything. Thanks in advance if someone can help [16:00] ikonia, yeah, I'll have to make that switch next time I reinstall, I guess. [16:00] natrixnatrix89: i configured the settigns to dhcp [16:00] yeah [16:00] Hi. I've just installed Ubuntu 9.04 however the username and password I set in the installation don't actually seem to work. Is there a way I could reset them without having to install all over again? [16:00] whats the keyboard shortcut to view all desktops? [16:00] skapism, not really, on my windows box it works perfect :p [16:00] tyler_d: thanks, had a short problem with my wlan but I had forgot about that guide, thanks [16:00] skapism, true, but the guys who work here and use Windows have no way around that limitation. As a linux user, I do. So I win! [16:00] lundh: np :) [16:00] rs: interesting. did you restart the router? [16:00] natrixnatrix89: when i click it says manual config [16:01] PleXuS: overclocking screwed the governer up for me :) [16:01] Markopotomus: restart the computer, when it says grub blah blah blah... select the recovery option [16:01] Reading about PAE, it says it's for supporting more than 4GB. I don't need that, I just need to support 4 GB. [16:01] Markopotomus: this will take you into single user mode... [16:01] tyler_d: Ok. [16:01] wad: true. and PAE is just a workaround. it's better to use 64-bit natively [16:01] skapism, so bad power managment drivers in kernel :) [16:01] tyler_d: and from there I can reset passwords? [16:01] Markopotomus: then do a passwd "yourusername" and enter your password [16:02] skapism, because it never screwed up on windows system :) [16:02] rs: sorry i don't know about lan much.. installing the right driver solved the problem for me.. [16:02] PleXuS: I'm not sure. I'm sure if I sat my ass down and read on the governer thingy, I'd get it to work. but I couldn't be bothered :) [16:02] tyler_d: Right. Ok, here goes. Cheers for the help :P [16:02] skapism, lol [16:02] Markopotomus: gl :o [16:03] PleXuS: it's pretty limited too. I'm running a phenom here and I get either 2.2ghz or 1.1ghz. dunno, maybe it's really a cpu limitation [16:03] so no one knows? [16:03] ok [16:03] how di find whether the drivers are installed or not ? [16:03] Are there any more differences between the 64 bit Ubuntu and the 32 bit version, other than the ability to use more RAM? Why doesn't everyone just use the 64 bit version all the time, if they are on hardware that supports it? [16:03] do* [16:03] unr3a1-> whats the question? [16:03] natrixnatrix89: plz tell [16:04] rs: have you done from term ifconfig up? or such? [16:04] What's the easiest way to get my ip address so that someone can ssh into my system? [16:04] rs: i think they are installed for you.. [16:04] skapism, i'm running Q9550 @ 3,05Ghz default clock = 2,88Ghz but it can go to 3,55ghz easy :) [16:04] rs: because you can click on that icon and edit settings [16:04] stuckey: browse to ipchicken.com [16:04] skapism, speedstep noting todo with governer? [16:04] wad: some stuff doesn't work well on 64bit. especially proprietary stuff like skype need the 32bit libraries and that adds extra bloat to the system. also, until a while ago flash and java didn't work / exist for 64bit [16:04] PleXuS: no idea >_> [16:04] rs: otherwise it would say "no network devices." [16:05] orudie, I reinstalled Ubuntu and backed up my installed packages to a my_packages folder. I am now trying to reinstall the packages and this is what I get: http://pastebin.com/m257ea5fa [16:05] wad: also flash (both free and adobe) and java works well, at least for me [16:05] Allright, my problem: I downloaded a game (Katawa Shoujo) that uses an engine written in python. What I downloaded was a folder with all the game files in it, and just doubbelclick the *.sh file to start the game. Want I want to know is 1. How I start it via a terminal, and 2. How I can put a shortcut into Programs>Games [16:05] skapism, Ah, okay. So apps that rely on proprietary libraries may broke. [16:05] wad: and if you keep away from proprietary stuff, you need not worry [16:05] ne1 know if there is any way to get set of logitech Z Cinema speakers to work? === ReX_ is now known as ReX0r [16:05] rs: usually restarting the router solves much.. [16:05] restarting router ? [16:05] wad: yep. since the companies cannot be assed to recompile it for 64bit. go figure :) [16:05] why ? [16:05] BorkisDrizzt: from term you do gksudo ./game.sh ...(you have to be in the folder) [16:06] natrixnatrix89: the ethernet lights itself not glowing dude [16:06] BorkisDrizzt: sorry ignore that [16:06] #ubuntu-dk [16:06] skapism, okay, that sounds like good advice. I'll need to check all the proprietary apps I use. Oh, what about drivers? [16:06] unr3a1-> sorry never had to do that, try asking in #ubuntu-server [16:06] ty [16:06] BorkisDrizzt: just do ./game.sh from the folder === Yoda is now known as HansHansen [16:06] skapism, I can't live without my compiz. Do drivers support 64 bit? [16:06] wad: same deal. free drivers are fine, proprietary stuff might be problematic [16:06] skapism, ouch! [16:06] wad: compiz isn't drivers... are you using intel / amd / nvidia? [16:07] rs: but maybe try just unplug the power, wait and plug in again :) Works for me sometimes.. :D [16:07] Maybe for now I'll just be content with my 3GB. [16:07] skapism, Radeon. [16:07] How do I get the Makefile used to compile an aptitude package? [16:07] Anyway, I now know more than I did! I'd better get some programming done now. Thanks, guys! [16:07] wad: then I _believe_ catalyst works five with 64bit too. the open source driver too [16:07] bloopletech_: apt-get source packagename will download the source [16:07] fine* [16:07] tyler_d: thanks, that works. The what about creating a shortcut ? [16:07] Pici: awesome thanks [16:07] recommended hard drive space to run opensuse 10.3? only be running apache and joining the W2k3 domain [16:08] shit wrong room [16:08] sorry [16:08] wad: yeah. they provide a x86_64 version. logical, it's amd [16:08] BorkisDrizzt: right click on the menu go 'edit menus' --> games --> new item ---> browse to the .sh --> ok [16:09] BorkisDrizzt: may want a name on it as well ;) [16:09] Hymnosis: Please mind your language here. [16:09] wad: that's usually what people refer to as '64bit'. it's a superset of x86 [16:09] wad: introduced by amd (therefore amd64) [16:09] its 2 x86's [16:09] @ the same time. [16:09] hi [16:09] yo [16:09] what did eddie find in his present? [16:10] any suggestions on soft to recover broken dvd [16:10] ?? [16:10] !ot | aspoor [16:10] aspoor: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:10] at least part of it [16:10] wad: intel went a completely different way and tried a purely 64bit-based architecture. it kind of failed XD === yacc_ is now known as yacc [16:10] hello all, I was trying to run NAT on an ubuntu server. I created the rule in iptables and started getting very confused. Why if all of the policies on all of my tables are defaulted to ACCEPT am I not allowed to ping my clients from my server? [16:10] cause even dd says : no media found === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [16:10] should I get 9.04 ubuntu. I thought I did an upgrade while still online without even re-booting the laptop. Acer. [16:11] ed_debian: Remove the offending rules [16:11] but no way, not if it doesnt ask you for disks. [16:11] aspoor: you can't be running the upgrade without rebooting [16:11] o may i did reboot. [16:11] sorry [16:11] ed_debian: -D as opposed to -A [16:11] !recover [16:11] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [16:11] aspoor: you must have noticed that the loading screen is different.. [16:11] ed_debian: Replace -A with -D [16:12] I have a set of logitech Z cinema speakers ~ they don't use a sound card, plugs into usb port ~ can't find any mention of these and ubuntu working togather [16:12] ed_debian: or use -F to flush the chain. [16:12] usr13, I cannot work on the machine right now. Just so you know, but the only rule I have is the NAT rule in the input chain and I have an Accept all to all rule in all other chains [16:12] usr13, What rule is stopping ping? [16:12] Actually I did notice that, wrong question. Umm does anyone know how to incorporate a file called nul at 0 bytes to a FAT32 cluster? [16:12] I have an INtrepid system ru8nning and just puicked up a "fake raid" SIL 3114 controller [16:13] ed_debian: I don't know. Did you block port 113? [16:13] usr13, no [16:13] I was hoping to create a raid array, not for booting, but for using for High def video editing with cinelerra [16:13] my /bin/cat is bad [16:13] racecar56: reinstall coreutils? [16:13] so far all i found was posting on how to install to the fake raid [16:13] usr13, I will try flushing the entire table but I am confused. It seems that if iptables is turned on at all outgoing pings to the internal network are blocked [16:14] has anyone else tried this? [16:14] usr13, I have this confirmed on two different servers [16:14] ed_debian: Well, I don't know, would have to see the rules you entered. But is it possible there is some other network problem? [16:14] yay its good again :> [16:15] ed_debian: You have your rules all on a script, right? Just flush all, edit the script as needed and try again. [16:15] ok, so i figured it out. [16:15] humm duvida [16:15] usr13, Well I am trying to set up NFS as well and iptables is blocking that but I don't know why. LIke I said I set the default policy to ACCEPT on everything. The rules I have are NAT and ACCEPT everything going everywhere. I think maybe NAT has something to do with it. [16:15] what if you have a phenom 2. Ok, bare with me a min, you use 1 CPU to open and 1 CPU to close. Would that still be an allocation unit? [16:15] tenho o ubuntu 8.10 como faço para passar para verso nova 9.4? [16:16] !br | daniel-roots- [16:16] daniel-roots-: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [16:16] aspoor: what does that have to do with ubuntu? XD [16:16] this was a neat trick in a sense its the same as alt-255 [16:16] ed_debian: I don't think so but would have to see the specific rules you're using. [16:16] usr13, Thank you for your help BTW. I realize it is difficult to solve a problem when we can't actually make any progress. I am trying to get some ideas for when I go back up to that server [16:16] hold up a bit [16:16] tyler_d: thanks, it works great. Just one more question. When chosing an icon for the shortcut, does it have to be a .svg file? [16:16] usr13, Ok thank you [16:16] memory. o yea [16:17] ed_debian: I'm not really an iptables expert. [16:17] Pici : Im sorry for my language [16:17] aspoor: This is a support channel, not a discussion channel. [16:17] Is there a razertool available for ubuntu? [16:17] BorkisDrizzt: I'm pretty sure it can be several different image types..... I would say tias(Try It And See) [16:17] will do [16:17] usr13, thats ok. Can you answer this for me? Is iptables built into the kernel? Meaning is there an alternative to it? [16:18] ed_debian: yes, iptables is part of the linux kernel [16:18] k, but wait it gets better.. [16:18] skapism, So to run a "network server" <- IDK what else to call it I must set up iptables? [16:19] guys knockin on my front door hold up!!! [16:19] * regeya watches everyone in the channel hold up. [16:19] * tyler_d stops thinking while waiting for aspoor [16:20] ed_debian: what do you mean with 'setup'. iptables is basically a firewall where you get to say what comes in and waht goes out [16:21] skapism, Set up NAT. [16:21] jmworx__: that tutorial you've gave me - nothing went better. [16:21] ed_debian: you can look at it as a software router inside the linux kernel [16:21] ~130FPS [16:21] ed_debian: I don't think it would be accurate to say that iptables is built into the kernel, but it does work at the kernel level and is probably the best tool to use. Not knowing exactly what you're trying to do I can't help you re-create your iptables rules, but I can tell you that if you get them correct, you will be able to produce the desired results. iptables is very versitle and powerful. [16:22] usr13, Thank you [16:22] skapism, thank you [16:22] themad: What method did you use in that tutorial? Got performance as good as you got earlier? [16:22] I thought iptables features was a module loaded into the kernel [16:22] ed_debian: What exactly are you trying to do? [16:22] but i rarely use/need the feature :) [16:22] Are you wanting to share one network with another? [16:22] Dr_Willis: it's part of the kernel with iptables being a userspace application [16:22] usr13: you could try fiestarter a gui for iptables [16:23] jmworx__: i used everithing up to editing xorg.conf, performance is ~20FPS worse. [16:23] one thing about iptables guis' theres a lot t o choose from. :) [16:23] usr13, I am trying to set up a network with 8 client and 1 server. The server needs to be a router (NAT), and a file server (NFS). Eventually I would like to do other things as well but we're not there yet. [16:23] themad: Oh, you mean the http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html did *not* work? [16:23] hi..my ubuntu is giving an error while detecting my external USB HDD...any idea what might be the problem? How do i see my syslog ? [16:24] themad: did you try just installing the netbook remix packages on intrepid? [16:24] usr13, Yes I am getting to the internet from my clients through my server [16:24] It actually lists two possible methods there? Which one did you try? [16:24] How do I restart X? ^-alt backspace doesnt work [16:24] Im using the Netbook-remix 'edition' on my AcerAspireOne. it seems to work very well [16:24] !dontzap | riwa [16:24] riwa: 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. [16:24] Hello guys!! Anyone as a problem with a ATI card with the new ubuntu? I have the impression that fglrx drivers doesn't work anymore with "old" ATI card (Radeon X700 for me). Anyone has a clue? Thank you [16:24] themad: sudo apt-get install go-home-applet human-netbook-theme maximus netbook-launcher window-picker-applet [16:24] jmworx__: yes, i meant this [16:24] ed_debian: So you are wanting to share the internet through a PC, (use it for a router?). [16:24] riwa: that is disabled by default now a days. thers some other obscoure key combo that is supposed to do the same thoing.. (i can never rember it) [16:25] themad: Which of the two methods on that page did you try? [16:25] usr13, yes [16:25] skapism: i'm downloding 8.10 .img for pendrive [16:25] Pici: just a second.. alt+sysrq+k will kill X? [16:25] jmworx__: the first one [16:25] themad: aight [16:25] xfm: I'm sucessfully using the open 'ati' drivers on my ATI x1400. I originally had to remove xorg-driver-fglrx for this to work. [16:25] riwa: try ALT+Impr+k [16:25] ed_debian: If it is as simple as that and you want to use a gui tool, firestarter is very easy to use. [16:25] is there some command then??+ Xorg --restart [16:25] Paddy_EIRE: Thats what the factoid says. [16:25] themad: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/ubuntu-netbook-remix-904-hands [16:25] Pici: nice :) [16:25] xfm: Impr??? [16:25] themad: 1) Did you remove the "downgraded" video driver from your previous attempt? [16:25] themad: there's a section there on installing it manually [16:25] riwa: sudo invoke-rc.d restart ?dm will also work [16:26] Pici: what do you mean with "open ati drivers"? Radeon or Radeonhd? [16:26] Pici: and the same goes for me.. my laptop is entirely free now [16:26] xfm: radeon. radeonhd is dead [16:26] But if you tell me what the interfaces are connected to I can tell you the rules you need to implement. === Brucee is now known as Bruceee [16:26] jmworx__: yes i did [16:26] skapism: tks [16:26] skapism: 'ati' and 'radeon' are the same, right? [16:26] Pici: yeah, ati is a wrapper package [16:26] How can I install/activate UMTS for my laptop in ubuntu? [16:26] themad: I guess the only thing I can suggest is to try the second method [16:26] Pici: in ubuntu [16:27] jmworx__: ok, ill try [16:27] ed_debian: But if you tell me what the interfaces are connected to I can tell you the rules you need to implement. [16:27] skapism: Right [16:27] Pici: I mean, 'xserver-xorg-video-ati' [16:27] riwa: yeah, well the key that make a copy of your screen. I don't know what is the name in your langage [16:28] skapism: I know what you meant [16:28] Pici: alright [16:28] ed_debian: you can do sudo apt-get install firestarter and just tell it you want to share the connection and it will do it for you. [16:28] usr13, I don't want a GUI on my server. eth1 connects to a dumb switch that connects all my clients. eth0 connects to the internet (I have a public ip address). [16:28] Pici: are there any signs of the karmic theme.. or colour palette around that you know of? [16:28] Pici: Any trick in the xorg.conf? or just put "radeon" in the driver sectin? [16:28] tyler_d: sure thing, works with different image types. I'm out of here again then :) [16:29] xfm: it *should* just autodetect, but if it doesnt, 'ati' or 'radeon' will work for the driver [16:29] usr13, Is that what you are asking for? I will use firestarter if I have to but I'd rather not. What rule(s) would it create if I told it I want to share my connection? [16:29] Hi all have to make a big choice. Have to move my data to a cros platform filesystem (linux/mac/win) ntfs isent my first choice but I dont know much of others. === eclipse_ is now known as ihavnoth [16:30] ed_debian: /usr/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -o eth0 -s 172.29.1.0/24 [16:30] Pici: well I'm stuck with a 640*480 screen so I guess autodetect doesn't work ;) [16:30] phantom: ext support on win is cr*p. so ntfs, unfortunately, yes. [16:30] phantom which FS are you using on your linux install? [16:30] ed_debian: where 172.29.1.0/24 is the LAN [16:30] phantom: ntfs support on linux is quite excellent, so no worries. I have no idea about mac [16:30] ext3 [16:30] ext2fs driver for windows works just fine for ext2/3 phantom [16:31] ed_debian: You may need to first enter command: [16:31] echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [16:31] phantom: if you want support in mac as well, don't use ntfs. Use FAT32. That's supported in all OS [16:31] Hi guys! Is it possible to have MySQL utilize all CPU cores for a single query? I'm executing very heavy queries, and have dual quad core server, and only one core gets utilized on them =( [16:31] Paddy_EIRE: I have yet to see for *once* with my own eyes a ext partition working windows. never happened for me. not even once [16:31] Hello. [16:31] working under* [16:31] skapism: that sucks.. I have had nothing but success with it [16:31] What is the live version of Ubuntu? [16:31] FAT32 = 4gb limit so not for me [16:32] Paddy_EIRE: that's cool [16:32] usr13, don't you need to specify which chain you are adding the rule to? [16:32] Because I had feisty Fawn before. [16:32] ed_debian: no [16:32] And it was a live disc. [16:32] phantom: that refers to file size, you know? [16:32] argot76: 9.04 [16:32] skapism: make sure you are using the 'stable' driver [16:32] y [16:32] sacarlson: hey are you there? [16:32] m [16:32] Where can I download the live version for that? [16:32] Paddy_EIRE: stable? heh. none of the solutions worked for me. [16:32] usr13, Where will the rule go if you don't? In all chains? Sorry to interrupt what command might I have to run? [16:32] I downloaded one for 64 but it is install. [16:33] I just want to try out ubuntu. [16:33] phantom: then take ntfs. though I don't know how well supported it is on macos. [16:33] phantom: mac has no support for ntfs nor ext3 (you have to install extra software to read). And you need to do the same in windows to read ext3 [16:33] I read that drapper is the only live version but that can't be true is it? [16:33] Drapper is old. [16:33] skapism: it's not supported in mac OS [16:33] member:skapism ntfs 3g is also for macks [16:33] ntfs is supported in osX by 3rd party software (paragon) not freeware [16:33] argot76: nope, every ubuntu version in the last years is live too [16:34] phantom: in that case, you can take ntfs. i guess userland applications aren't that bad sometimes [16:34] phantom: i've only heard it's been ported successfully over to the bsds [16:35] I only have the install. [16:35] Where do I find the live version? [16:35] native *nix do read only on ntfs [16:35] phantom: you can walk around with macfuse in another pen. MAcfuse will let you read ntfs in Mac (I had some problems with ntfs3g in Mac) [16:35] usr13, ? Are you there? [16:36] ed_debian: http://pastebin.ca/ [16:36] what can i do, when lspci -vv is not fitting my terminal? [16:37] themad: pipe it into less? [16:37] themad: lspci -vv | more [16:37] Where can I download the live version of 9.04? [16:37] In my first steps to creating a custom live cd I've unpacked and repacked the jaunty iso using the commands shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/164208/. When trying to boot using Virtualbox OSE it drops to busybox after repeatedly showing the lines ISO9660 Extensions every couple of seconds for about a minute. Should I be using different arguments for the mkisofs command? [16:37] does anyone here make electronic music with computer software? [16:37] member:identifier:zelfje: 3rd party software (paragon) what do you mean by that only the app has suport or the os to? [16:37] phantom: or instead of a pen, what I do is I have two partitions in my external HD's. A small partition, FAT32, 20Mb in size, with the software to read ext3 in mac's and windows, and the rest of the disk in ext3 where I keep all the files [16:37] usr13, Thank you! :) :) I had no idea about this site! What a great idea! [16:37] argot76: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [16:38] ed_debian: That is just what I pasted (via pastebin) [16:38] does anyone here make electronic music with computer software? [16:38] !pastebin | ed_debian [16:38] ed_debian: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [16:38] I am there, but I have 64 bit. Is the iso that I'm going to download going to be live or installation cd? [16:38] !anyone | nihilists [16:38] nihilists: 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? [16:38] themad, you could also increase the number of scrollable rows in your panel :-) [16:38] Anyone has a good tutorial to create a usb key with ubuntu on it, and without changing the capacity to 650mb (its a 16Go storage and I would not like to loose the free place) [16:38] tks [16:39] does anyone here make electronic music with computer software? [16:39] xfm: the usb-creater tool in ubuntu can do it. or unetbootin (no persistant save with unetbootin) or try the pendrivelinux.com tutorials [16:39] nihilists: This is a support channel. If you have a support question I suggest asking it. Other chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic. [16:40] ed_debian: You may also be interested in a small, simple application called pastebinit [apt-get pastebinit] [16:40] xfm: the only way iva seen the space get 'lost' is using 'dd' and the ubuntu_UNR_9.04 .img file to a thumnbdrive [16:40] Dr_Willis: thqnk you [16:40] xfm: which was annoying. :) [16:41] I downloaded that version. Where is the live cd? [16:41] Dr_Willis: arg. I remeber having seen a way to partition the usb drive so that we do not loose the free space. But impossible to refind this [16:41] carandraug:is ext 3 suport good on mac? [16:41] The only choices that I have are install ubuntu. [16:42] Check cd for defects and things like that. [16:42] argot76: Are you booting off the cd? [16:42] zfm yea the img file i saw overwrte the tabls and made a single drive. it dident even have a partition. it was just 'sda' on thymbdrive. that REALLY confused things. [16:42] uhm [16:42] Yeah. [16:42] Live cd. [16:42] jmworx__: the 2nd method on that page dosn't work ethier [16:42] xfm: it it ha at least made a 'sda1' i could of used gparted to resize. [16:42] Not installation. [16:42] argot76: If you have no "Try ubuntu without changes" you are using the alternate install CD [16:42] !enter | argot76 [16:42] argot76: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:43] Ok my bad. [16:43] Dr_Willis: I'll try to gparted it before installing the img [16:43] :( [16:44] phantom: it's okay. I didn't have troubles yet. You need to install something first though. http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html [16:44] Sorry about that I feel so stupid now lol. [16:44] firefox seems to be crashing on pages with fullscreened video or maybe flash, only error i can get is "segmentation fault" anyone know how to find out more about whats causing this crash? [16:44] mindheavy: reinstall flash [16:44] <|Zippo|_> is there anybody using conky with compiz' widget layer? [16:44] When I display long help files in the terminal, is there a way to display one page at a time? (Similar to a dos feature.) [16:44] mindheavy: what plugin do you use? [16:44] xfm: could try dding the img to 'sda1' instead of 'sda' perhaps. [16:44] I didn't know that ubuntu changed its layout. I have mandriva 64 and I would like to try ubuntu to see if it is more stable. [16:45] In my first steps to creating a custom live cd I've unpacked and repacked the jaunty iso using the commands shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/164208/. When trying to boot using Virtualbox OSE it drops to busybox after repeatedly showing the lines ISO9660 Extensions every couple of seconds for about a minute. Should I be using different arguments for the mkisofs command? [16:45] Buttons840: linux 101 ' use the 'more' command. [16:45] Buttons840: more longfile.txt [16:45] Hi is there anyway of indexing my file system into the nautilus search so that it will find everything quicker [16:45] Buttons840: or the 'less' command. :) [16:45] so when i do ./configure --help and i want one page at a time, what would I do? [16:45] xfm: its shockwave 10 r22 [16:45] i think that gOS is nbetter than Ubuntu [16:45] if I buy a new Nvidia card, will I have to reinstall an reconfigure the nvidia modual? [16:46] Buttons840: command | more [16:46] (from 8400 to 8600) [16:46] phantom: uups. That's for windows. Here's for mac http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/ [16:46] Dr_Willis, Thanks. [16:46] Buttons840: less is newer [16:46] less and more are often alias's/links to one/other these days. .ive not noticed whuch it is ubuntu :) [16:47] argot76: for the live you want the iso named: ubuntu-9.04-desktop-*****.iso (**** is arch i386/amd64) [16:47] Ok. [16:47] mindheavy: same as me, and its working [16:47] Thank you. [16:47] mindheavy: I already had such problem. Reinstalling flash has solved [16:47] i set up twinview on 9.04 and my gnome panel is on the right screen but is locked - how do i move it to the left screen? [16:47] carandraug: if I know corect only from ext3 is journaling suported so the driver dosent suporte it? [16:47] mindheavy: don't know the exact explanation, sorry [16:48] xfm: whats the best method to reinstall after removing it? package manager or what? [16:48] markl_: hold down the alt key. click/ drag [16:48] does anyone here make electronic music with computer software? [16:48] markl_: i think.. i had to fogure that out the other day [16:48] phantom: yes. But it still reads and writes in ext3 partitions [16:48] Dr_Willis: ah that worked perfectly! [16:48] thanks [16:48] and what is that command to add mp3 support to everything [16:48] carandraug:thanx much [16:48] logout [16:49] markl_: dont forget to set the 'default/primary' monitor in the nvidia-settings tool also [16:49] nihilists , you mean recording? [16:49] markl_: i always install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' that adds a lot of things. [16:49] xfm: actually the window i'm seeing it in only allows me to disable/enable, how would i remove and reinstall? [16:49] if I buy a new Nvidia card, will I have to reinstall an reconfigure the nvidia modual? [16:49] phantom: no problem. Just some problems you may encounter when copying files from one filesystem to another. STrange characters and files with the same name but different case [16:49] (from 8400 to 8600) [16:50] bleh [16:50] saiki: if they need a differnt driver yes.. if not no. [16:50] saiki: its not too hard to change them [16:51] mindheavy: go into synaptic and do a search for flash, remove and reinstall relevant packages there. [16:51] ienorand: thanks [16:51] saiki: I don't think you will need to change software. [16:51] good :) [16:51] any um.. anyone ble to find "joypad" in the repos? [16:52] I can't find the package and a program I use needs it [16:52] saiki: no pavakge that name [16:52] saiki: But if you go to Nvidia.com you can see if they call for different driver software for Linux or not. [16:52] phantom: for example, in ext3, you can have in one folder, the files "blah: bleh", "blah" and "Blah". If you try to copy those files to windows, filesystem will be ntfs probably and you'll get errors because the chracter ":" is not accepted in ntfs, nor files with different cases "blah" and Blah" (ntfs is case insensitive) [16:52] saiki: I think they both use the same driver, but the config might need to change being that the cards will identify themselves a bit differently, but the changes should be minimal.. [16:52] mindheavy: to uninstall: sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla mozilla-plugin-gnash gnash flashplugin-nonfree adobe-flashplugin === atom32k is now known as atomekk [16:53] mindheavy: then close your firefox and reinstall it (synaptics or adobe website) [16:53] anywone can help me ? [16:53] cezarcasc: whats ur problem? [16:54] ubuntu isn't picking up my "fakeraid" controller, even with ibex [16:54] i can`t activate suround sound on ubuntu [16:54] it sees the sata disks and tries to load dm-raid but the install screen looks corrupt... [16:54] im hearing only the front speakers [16:55] cezarcasc: thats a problem with your sound card configuration [16:55] i know [16:55] Why is ubuntu really popular? [16:56] does anyone have a favorite NES emulator? [16:56] there is and daemon.conf [16:56] on default-channel [16:56] i had modifyed 2 whit 6 [16:56] !enter | cezarcasc [16:56] cezarcasc: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:56] Hi does anybody know of a way to index my file system so that search results in nautilus are quicker, similar to the way google desktop does it [16:56] argot76: because canonical is putting a lot of money in the project [16:57] xfm: i see all the packages in synaptic except adobe-flashplugin should this be there? i can't find any with adobe in the name [16:57] So they pay for driver support and stuff? [16:57] That is good. [16:57] !ot | argot76 xfm [16:57] argot76 xfm: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:57] My bad. [16:57] I was just wondering. [16:57] conb123: If you are using gnome, tracker is installed by default, check your preferences menu for a search item there ;) [16:57] i've got a weird problems with jaunty amd64. i've got a linksys usb wireless dongle, and a logitech g5 laser usb mouse. the mouse works until i plug in the wireless dognle, and then themouse just stops working. i can use the sensitivity buttons and watch the light on the mouse change but that's it. [16:57] brb [16:58] argot76: I would say because of the extra polish that has gone into ubuntu on top of the solid base of debian, and more importantly, this channel and the ubuntu forums are FULL of helpful and supportive people who welcome, guide and help new users [16:58] phantom: I have to go now. My recommendation is to use FAT32 if you want to have no problems at all. You can split files that are above 4Gb with rar. If you really don't want to use to do that, ntfs if you mostly use windows or ext3 (or ext2 since you won't be using journalling) if you mostly use linux. Either way, you'll always have little problems. Ntfs permissions are a pain in linux, and the name of some files don't appear correct wh [16:58] en copying from ext3 in windows. [16:58] Pici: Oh yes wow thanks i found it [16:58] xfm: sorry, i realized i have to install that from adobe's site [16:59] Dr_Willis: it's joystick, my bad. but is there a jaunty one? [16:59] mindheavy: yes, adobe-flashplugin is the propreritary drivers [16:59] !find joystick [16:59] Found: joystick, xserver-xorg-input-joystick [16:59] afternoon pici [16:59] * regeya agrees with carandraug...fat32 is the most portable filesystem one can use; I have a drive I share between Windows, OS X and Linux, and fat32 was the only one which worked with all 3 trouble-free [16:59] saiki: seems to be a joystick package [17:00] In 9.04, intel video drivers, it seems to be ignoring the virtual resolution specified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, this is breaking the dual screen configuration which worked perfectly on this hardware in 8.10. [17:00] i need a little linux/ubuntu help. Does anyone have experience with wireless NIC settings? [17:00] !info joystick [17:00] joystick (source: joystick): set of testing and calibration tools for joysticks. In component universe, is extra.

[17:00] Ademan, to be blunt, no it's not. :-> [17:00] !wireless [17:00] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:00] Mercury: i couldent get virtual setting working on my netbook either. [17:00] Mercury: not seen any work around. [17:01] Mercury: Its working here [17:01] unless you're transporting 5.25" disks around, I suppose... [17:01] maria__: I'm not particularly good with wireless (never had issues myself) but if you describe your problem as best you can (and what your'e trying to do) I, or someone else will try and help you [17:01] regeya: what *doesn't* support fat16? :-p [17:01] robin0800: Video drivers and could we get your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log in a pastebin somewhere? [17:01] Ademan...thanks. I have set iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M [17:01] Dr_Willis: Well, I guess I'll find it today. [17:01] Ademan: windows 1.0?

I don't remember what it was, is there a list of fixed width fonts somewhere to try out? [17:02] Ademan: perhaps you're right, but I'm not going to the trouble of partitioning my 320gb USB drive in that many partitions :-> [17:02] Dr_Willis: thanks again for your help [17:02] How do I re-install my video drivers on my netbook, I think it's intel drivers. It's a ADVENT 4213 also known as a G10. It did play 3d stuff, but now it will not even play video without the video app crashing [17:02] Ademan.....where do i start the troubleshoot? The other PC on the LAN is wired and get full bandwidth 16Mbit [17:02] is there an ubuntu 64 bit channel? [17:02] regeya: of course, I was just being useless and obnoxious in an attempt to be funny haha [17:03] darkhelmetlive: nope.. this one will have to do [17:03] Ademan, and I'm not of course :-> [17:03] Ademan....so its not the internet connection. Either the wireless on the router or the wireless NIC are not "playing nice" [17:03] blarg. no ideas anybody? logitech usb mouse stops working when a linksys wireless dongle gets plugged in... [17:03] peepsalot: I use terminus for my terminal... it's in the repos [17:03] such a stupid problem... [17:04] darkhelmetlive: nothing in the logs? [17:04] hi how can I obtain information about my hardware ? number of cores in mu processor and so on? [17:04] anyone know a page detailing what exactly the difference in supported packages are for LTS releases in regards to "desktop" vs "server"? [17:04] darkhelmetlive:mine has the same problem near blutooth [17:04] by "supported", I mean the extended 3yr/5yr updates [17:05] maria__: are you using ndiswrapper for your wifi? I have a vague recollection of people not getting optimal performance out of it. Otherwise I would ask how close the router and the machine in question are, and ask if an equivalent computer (XP partition maybe?) gets similar speed [17:05] Slart: nothing that i can see...just the wireless connecting... [17:05] Mercury: http://rafb.net/p/6fUy1R71.html [17:05] back [17:05] hi [17:05] linuxnewbe: I'm sure you can check hose with the system monitor [17:05] Slart: it's just the logitech one too....i have a dell mouse connected and working... [17:06] Ademan.....XP on this machine had 16mbit. The signal strenght was and still is 80% or higher. It is not signal strength/quality. [17:06] I try to install dvd playback stuff like this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/me0eafa9 - but Totem only tries to install "DVD Source" resulting in the message "No packages with the requested plugins found". What am I missing?

[17:07] peepsalot: hmm.. it shows up in my profile settings.. werd [17:07] Slart, nm, i think i need xfonts-terminus [17:07] hey, where would i find the sources to the ubuntu installer? [17:07] darkhelmetlive: what's the problem you're having? [17:07] maria__: hrm, I actually couldn't tell you, like I said I suck at wifi as I've never really had to mess with it on my ubuntu machines, if you'll give me a moment I'll see if I can look it up [17:07] linuxnewbe: "sudo lshw -html > my_hardware_info.html" gives you a nice formatted html page you can open in your browser [17:08] When I woke up my computer, the usb was without power. This happens often. Usually I restart the computer to fix it. Is there a command to restart USB? [17:08] corecode, which part of it ? [17:08] peepsalot: that might be it..

It has a Makefile.in in its directory. Can i compile it alone without the whole of pidgin ? [17:09] i think the dongle might screw up other things too....i can't shutdown/logout...it just kind of hangs on the desktop... [17:09] gs94, i dont see why not [17:09] maria__: one thought before I look, if you run lsmod | grep -i ndis that *might* produce output if you're using ndiswrapper (if ndiswrapper is a kernel module it should work, but I don't know if it is or not) === |Zippo|_ is now known as |Zippo| [17:09] racecar56: how ? [17:09] saiki: i added acpi=force irqpoll to grub but haven't restarted yet to examine changes... [17:09] racecar56: It doesn't have its own makefile [17:09] gs94, hmm [17:10] corecode, the ubuntu "installer" is named ubiquity. You can get it by typing in: apt-get source ubiquity [17:10] Ademan.....no output using that command [17:10] usr13: i want to make a "post-install script", which also should install dvd codecs. I managed to make it work yesterday, but couldnt determine, how exactly i did. There is one step missing. Could you look at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/me0eafa9 and give me a hint, what is missing? [17:10] maria__: alright, I'll do a bit of searching then [17:10] gs94, maybe do like some people do with compiling one module for a kernel... SIGINT when it finishes compiling it [17:10] darkhelmetlive: might want to, never had an issue like that [17:10] ibuclaw: no, i'm thinking of the text installer === awe is now known as awe-lunch [17:11] racecar56: but not a very good idea right ? can't i just use the makefile include ? [17:11] gs94, idk [17:11] darkhelmetlive: I hae a log mouse and dongle, but I don't have my pc o right now [17:11] saiki: yeah kind of annoying...i'm not even sure if it's just a 64bit problem or not... [17:11] brb [17:11] darkhelmetlive: I'll check my pc, give me 5 mins [17:11] and pm me [17:12] Hi there [17:12] need some help here [17:12] can I get some support in Kile, anyone here familiar with it? [17:12] anyone available ? [17:12] ok [17:12] Hey guys. I have a really strange behaviour on my x64 since installing 9.04. Processes don't get shut down (eg when I close firefox, it still remains as process and I can't kill it, even not with kill -9 ). Same behaviour with apt-get [17:12] !ask | needhelp [17:12] maria__: you might try iwlist bitrate to see if the driver really thinks its operating like it should [17:12] needhelp: 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. :-) [17:12] needhelp, what ya need? [17:12] Any clues how I could track down the problem? [17:12] corecode, that is the text based installer ... the debian version being debian-installer [17:13] Ademan....wlan0 unknown bit-rate information. [17:13] Current Bit Rate=11 Mb/s [17:13] hmw > private conv [17:13] Ademan...i set the bitrate manually. Everytime I boot it is set to 1Mbit. [17:13] I want to recompile my kernel, and I understand I need linux-kernel-devel. Unfortunately, my Ubuntu machine is offline, and I can't use apt to get it. What is in linux-kernel-devel? I cna download the individual packages myself. [17:13] Hi, I need help with my Broadcom b43 wireless driver, Please [17:13] maria__: and that's what you set it to right? so it sounds like it *thinks* it's operating correctly [17:14] hmw > I have like 5-6 sentences to write [17:14] hello all..............is there any ipmessenger in ubuntu by which i can send files on the LAN also?? [17:14] Ademan....but I fixed that in the etc/network/network file [17:14] hmw - I'll try to do it here in the public channel [17:14] seems to work thus far... [17:14] darkhelmetlive: check pm [17:15] hi, how to accept all incoming/outcoming traffic with iptables? [17:15] !pastebin | needhelp [17:15] needhelp: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [17:15] saurabh1403: Skype should be aware that you're in the same network and transfers the file directly (works in most cases) [17:15] Ademan...so the NIC *thinks* that it is set to 11Mbit. How do I tell if the router is transmitting at least that much? I read somewhere that encryption like WPA slows bitrates? Anythoughts? [17:15] By dingy, I missed something. I'm on intrepid and according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile linux-kernel-devel doesn't exist! I have to download some other packs. Problem solved! [17:16] creative83: all right..I will try skype also...but i think there shud be some settings to be done in skype for making it able to find LAN computers [17:16] I'm having some issues with OO 3, is it possible to downgrade to OO 2.4 ? [17:16] Ademan...is this useful information.....product: Wireless PCI Adapter RT2400 / RT2460 [17:16] vendor: RaLink [17:16] mac9416, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158 [17:17] creative83: all right..i got it....i will try it... [17:17] saurabh1403: Skype is really good when it comes to networks/firewalls and so. It can bypass many proxys/firewalls and should recognise automatically that you and your buddy are in the same network. [17:17] I can't install/update/remove anything because of this error : "E: sun-java6-bin: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2" wth does it mean? [17:17] and I do I fix it? [17:17] Dr_Willis: Found it. [17:17] maria__: definitely useful, with that I can determine your driver, hopefully, hah [17:18] creative83: all right..however, i use skype on my ubuntu....thanks...i wil ltry it now [17:18] !seen sci [17:18] I have no seen command [17:18] maria__: are you on a msi wind? [17:18] Dr_Willis: Downgrade xserver-xorg-video-intel to 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9. [17:18] maria__: that 11mbit is connection-speed rating, not what you're actually pushing through with network data. encryption/authentication should not affect that number. if you're not running at the connection-speed rating that you expect, its most likely a signal strength/orientation or interfeerance issue [17:18] Ademan....dont understand the question [17:18] hi, how to accept all incoming/outcoming traffic with iptables? [17:19] maria__: nevermind, it's a specific laptop make and model [17:19] thing is I try to install ubuntu 9.04 on a system witn windows on it; I have 3 HDD's - FIRST and THIRD for storage; the second is with the OS ( windows ); I choose the option of installing linux in parralel with windows and having a bootloader to choose from each OS; after the installation of Ubuntu starts it's making the partitions ( swap / ext ) eighter on HDD1 or in HDD3; how to choose the second drive manually and how to avoid erasing windows from this part [17:19] am not understand‌ing [17:19] rxMokka....this machine with XP runs at 16mbit. There was no location change with respect to the AP [17:19] MyWay: I believe that's the default configuration [17:19] MyWay, unless you've setup ufw or another firewall, that is the default [17:19] my /usr/src/linux symlink points to headers that are no longer installed. what's the correct way to update that symlink? [17:20] hello, ive booted off a ubuntu live cd and I need to wipe my master boot record (MBR), how do I do that? [17:20] #help [17:20] MyWay, all ports are stealthed, meaning that you won't get a connection unless there is a service listening. [17:20] maria__: winXP lies, 16mbit is not a valid connection rating afaik [17:20] I like Ubuntu...but its just frustrating that all my Windows network skills are....moot. [17:20] maria__: next valid rating after 11 is 54 I believe [17:20] rxMokka....ok, it had more than 1mbit but less than 16mbit [17:20] hi #ubuntu, i'm new to it. i haven't had any luck installing drivers for my ATi 4850 [17:20] ubottu > thanks for the tip man ; I'm not so familiar with IRC [17:20] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:20] any suggestions? [17:21] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?𝑹𝑰𝑷𝑳𝑶𝑳𝑺𝑼𝑷𝑮𝑼𝒀𝑺" 0 0 0 [17:21] ibuclaw: i'm trying to connect to remote desktop [17:21] rxMokka....so now that youve pointed it out...this NIC has a max of 11mbit [17:21] how do you switch to root in terminal? [17:21] ​‫foo [17:21] rxMokka...which it currently does not using Ubuntu [17:21] lazermouse, su [17:21] isn't sudo supposed to be a one off thing? [17:21] maria__: oh, you are getting 1mbit? I thought you said you had 11 [17:21] lazermouse, but if it says auth failure then do sudo passwd root and then do su again [17:22] MyWay, from ubuntu to ubuntu? or ubuntu to windows? [17:22] lazermouse: ubuntu is meant to be used with sudo, not logging in as root. sudo -i gets you to root, if you really want that. Checkout pam_usb, use your SSD as your password-replacement. [17:22] ubuntu ubuntu [17:22] rxMokka....the NIC setting that I manually set reads 11mbit [17:22] rxMokka...but every single bandwidth test shows 1mbit [17:22] thx [17:22] su works for me....... [17:22] seen sci [17:22] maybe it's the router that changed ethernet ip [17:22] racecar56: why sudo su rather than sudo -i? [17:22] lazermouse: you want to have a terminal as root? or just run a command as root? (usually it's not recommended to have a terminal as root, but that'd be sudo -i or I believe sudo su -) otherwise sudo (without the < > ) [17:22] lazermouse: first use sudo as much as possible, then if you really have to use sudo -s [17:23] rxMokka, i use plain ol' su [17:23] rxMokka....the wired PCs on this LAN are all running full bandwidth circa 16mbit [17:23] rxMokka, su and nothing else [17:23] ibuclaw: how to change eth0 ip? [17:23] I have to use root, i think [17:23] I want to install AIM [17:23] lazermouse, get oidgin instead [17:23] no Pidgin? [17:23] lazermouse, *pidgin [17:23] ok guys i have installed the ati properity drivers fromt he ati website. How do I enable them within my xorg conf? DO i need to add dri or glx in my xorg.conf === maddog is now known as schmu [17:23] ah yes [17:23] aim != open source [17:23] I forgot [17:23] k [17:23] maria__: are you talking aobut 16m of file transfer rate between wired PC's within your lan? [17:24] rxMokka....internet [17:24] racecar56: toc/oscar is a standardized and published protocol [17:24] Is EXT4 better than EXT3? [17:24] rxMokka....bittorrents [17:24] how do i install ATi Catalyst drivers on Ubuntu? [17:24] Emry: i heard ppl say its faster [17:25] thiebaude, true [17:25] rxMokka....an no, there are no other PCs currently online using the bandwidth [17:25] thiebaude, Have you heard anything about stability or data lost? ;) [17:25] hi@everybody === demon_ is now known as Dillizar [17:25] this may be an idiot question but I'm having no luck with google... I know onboard is supposed to give an onscreen keyboard but how do you activate it...? [17:25] Emry: no [17:25] thiebaude, 'xept i can't cause i upgraded from intrepid (on my other pcs) [17:25] MyWay, remote desktop to ubuntu will only work if (a) the vnc service is running on the server, or (b) the remote desktop client is running and you are logged into a session on the server. [17:25] maria__: bt not going to work as well over wifi, and in general is an instable benchmark for testing network speed [17:25] hey everyone [17:25] rxMokka....im at a loss. I can only suspect the NIC and router are not playing nice. [17:25] Could be a good sign. '( [17:25] PhunkySKunk, hai [17:25] maria__: bt has too many simultaneous connections for wifi to perform as well as wired [17:25] :) [17:25] just waiting for my 9.04 cd and get rid of xp [17:25] MyWay, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html [17:25] What is the best way to install Skype under Jaunty [17:26] i got a question that i hope someone can help me with [17:26] rxMokka....the torrent machine is wired, and not online at the moment [17:26] rxMokka....this machine will not be using torrent [17:26] rxMokka....i would like to achieve more than 1mbit. [17:26] Emry: I'm having problems with regular filesystem inconsitencies on ext4, I'm not sure if that's because of running it off a usb though, fsck has saved me so far though. [17:26] maria__: I would use internal-testing to benchmark your wifi's capabilities [17:26] yes ibuclaw, it is [17:27] maria__: check kismet for any interfeering channels or devices [17:27] can anyone help me configure my ati x1250 video [17:27] anyone have a good link to enable ext4 on 9.04 live cd? [17:27] my copy of firefox got screwed somehow, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. However, now, it has not picked up any of my user settings (all the stuff in ~/.mozilla), and I can see no way of importing them manually [17:27] bluntman225, yesh [17:27] is it possible to upgrade a package? I have openoffice 2.4.1 installed on 8.04.2, and I'm in need of 3.0.1, which is part of 9.04 [17:27] maria__: set your AP to use _only_ the highest speed revision that your hardware supports (G or N Only, for example) [17:27] bluntman225, apps>admin>hardware drivers [17:27] i just ditched windows in favor of jaunty and am trying to get my pogitech mediaplay mouse to work. i mean all the buttons it has, but am having trouble finding easy to understand instructions as i am new to linux [17:27] I have a lot of settings in my .mozilla dir that I can;t afford to loose [17:27] mrfelton: you may have to adjust profiles.ini to see your old one [17:27] thiebaude: You use the manual partitioning option in installer [17:27] PhunkySKunk, good4u [17:27] rxMokka....if I reinstall XP this problem "goes away". Does XP use different channels than Ubuntu? [17:27] Insomnia1ity: adjust it to say what? [17:28] mrfelton: take a look at .mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini === ubuntu_ is now known as bandi [17:28] ienorand: when i do that just click on and use ext4? [17:28] create another block for your old profile, put the right path in [17:28] rxMokka....thats a great idea....manually set the router to 11mbit for the wlan.....brb [17:28] Insomnia1ity: that file is blank [17:28] mrfelton: then use FEBE addon to import/save/make a copy [17:28] maria__: test with WPA disabled and verify that you can connect with G-only mode or b-only, whatever you support at a max [17:28] what should it look like? [17:28] how can I fix package dependency problems? I have trouble with the openjdk package [17:28] please [17:28] anyone [17:28] mrfelton: OK, load up firefox, create an empty profile, close firefox [17:28] mrfelton: that'll set up the file right [17:28] Yanick_: apt-get -f install [17:29] usr13, trying... [17:29] Insomnia1ity: set up a new profil how? [17:29] maria__: if you can't achieve that connectevity, I'd re-verify that you're using the most-capable driver in ubuntu [17:29] if that doesn't work, I'll pastebin mine [17:29] just open it annd quit is enough? [17:29] a link to some easy instructions would be good or some directions [17:29] mrfelton: just, new profile i assume when you load firefox [17:29] usr13, doesn't work [17:29] Yanick_: apt-get -f [17:29] Insomnia1ity: it doesn't put anything in that file [17:29] rxMokka...how do i determine what is the most compatible driver? Google NIC model and ubuntu? [17:29] it's still blank [17:30] maria__: most _capable_ ;) [17:30] usr13, doesn't work (need more options) [17:30] rxMokka...doing my homework...will report back when i find something. Thanks [17:30] mrfelton: ok, make sure you've closed all copies of firefox, check your processes list [17:30] maria__: youd have to findout what driver is compatible, then install the newest version [17:30] Yanick_: what packages are you having trouble with? [17:30] mrfelton: then take a look at my profiles.ini: http://pastebin.ca/1412254 [17:30] usr13, http://pastebin.com/m62eefc1c [17:30] thiebaude: In manaul partitioning you set root (/) as ext4 like so: http://dl.maximumpc.com/galleries/jaunty/manual-partition_sm.png (the boot on ext3 is irrelevant) === JiYu is now known as Jiyu_ [17:30] maria__: I can help you later with wifi-specifics if you want to look me up in #fluxbuntu [17:31] !seen hans [17:31] I have no seen command [17:31] rxMokka...thanks...ill take you up on your offer as soon i get a driver list [17:31] can anyone plese help me set up an ati video driver on 8.10 [17:31] anyone use this mouse and have some easy instructions === hm1 is now known as hmw_pidgin [17:32] Insomnia1ity: I think that file is screwed...

[17:32] usr13, the "previous failure" was the openJDK in the first place... why was it installed by default? [17:32] mrfelton: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:32] mrfelton: seen that when theres file system curruption.. time for a fsck perhaps. [17:33] zpx: most likely - it wont work [17:33] Dr_Willis: an fsck was forced upon me the other day, when my machine failed to start up [17:33] zpx, not recommendet but possible to try [17:33] mrfelton: well, perms on my file are 644, looks like yours is toast [17:33] mrfelton: i would do another one.. or boot live cd and fsck all the filesytems again [17:33] how would you guys advise I get openoffice 3 installed onto 8.04? [17:33] mrfelton: sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot [17:33] from source? or packages? [17:33] tom@yogaflame:~/.mozilla/firefox$ rm profiles.ini [17:33] rm: cannot remove `profiles.ini': Stale NFS file handle [17:33] zpx: check the forums..

(at least not all on one line, rephrase the problem perhaps) [17:35] Dr_Willis, mount /media/MUSIK in a terminal? (havent got an error at startup) [17:35] cougarten: yes.. mount it from the command line. (with sudo if neded) [17:35] cougarten: you DID make the directory /media/MUSIK ?

I suppose you'd need to first change the mirror entries. but... I really don't know. [17:44] Right, so I upgraded some packages from a ppa which didn't work very well. How can I easily downgrade them all to the ones in the official ubuntu repositories? [17:44] FFForever: That doesn't mean it doesn't work... but you're really on your own if you try it. [17:44] FFForever: to call it an upgrade is subjective offcourse ;) [17:44] usr13, i fear in changing things i will destroy the os lol [17:44] ciaoo ragazzi [17:44] xagua: i do not have the pannel itself ... and also ... not allways i do have top-bar to windows [17:44] !it | salvo [17:44] salvo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

Thanks a lot for your help. === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [19:22] I have a problem with apt, whenever I try to install anything I get dependency issues, and it tells me to do 'apt-get -f install' which of course, leads to further issues. I have no idea of how to solve it. I have logs of apt-get install and sources.lst on fiend.pastebin.com. I haven't got a gui atm, so It is further trouble to use the Ubuntu pastebins :) [19:23] edbin: ~/.gnome2/ directory holds a lot of configurations that gnome uses by default. if you rename that directory to .gnome2-bak and log in again (I would log out before ..). That way your settings will go to "default" again. [19:23] is Virtualmin broke in Ubuntu?

[19:24] edbin: alright [19:25] pronoy_: Hmm.. I get a list of some packages to be removed, take a look at fiend.pastebin.com :D [19:25] whats the standard command for the default ubuntu window manager? [19:26] its not gtk-window-decorator is it? [19:26] fiend: i checked and are you sure you don't have them in synaptic under broken filter ?

Can I automate this (unmount a particular share before suspending), or is there a better solution? [19:26] pronoy_: I cannot run synaptic as it is a gui program. Shall I look at aptitude?

[19:27] Hermpie: Would you rather complain about it, or see wtf is going on? I've seen this before in cases of disk corruption. [19:27] fiend: well...for one figure out a way to start your gui [19:27] Hermpie: funny guy. [19:28] exit [19:28] Hermpie: that will give you the link to paste in here [19:28] when i run 'update-grub' it generates 'root (hd1,1)' entries, while i'm pretty sure that should be '(hd0,0)'. Based on what is it generating this? [19:28] Hermpie: Run that in Terminal [19:28] pronoy_: That is the dilemma. To fix that, I have to remove the MESA libraries, and reinstall them. Which of course is pretty hard without apt, considering they were probably installed with apt [19:28] raboof: Why do you think it should be hda(0,0)? [19:28] OMG, smart asses I said My firefox isn't working it says I got 7 mb of free space and nothing wants to install and the sound is the soft [19:28] to [19:28] hello, my Ubuntu 9.04 resets the master volume to 3/100 AND mutes it every time I restart my machine.

[19:29] Hermpie: You're asking for help. Please try to remember that people in here are volunteers. [19:29] pronoy_: So, as far as I know. It is pretty much a lose-lose. [19:29] I know [19:29] nikkiclau: didn't work, but I am trying to rename all the ones that were created when I made the new account [19:29] Can anyone help me in a 1 vs 1 conversation? [19:29] Hermpie: how much physical memory do you have? [19:29] edbin: are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu (or even Xubuntu)? [19:30] does anyone know a tool where you can mount ext4 disk in windows? [19:30] Hermpie: It doesn't work like that. [19:30] lol 1 vs 1...apropos [19:30] Where can i find that? [19:30] nikkiclau: xubuntu [19:30] Hermpie: system monitor [19:30] I am a first minut ubuntu user [19:30] fiend: ur running ati right ? ok well why don't you reboot and come back in the recovery mode. . and then try it ..... i guess in the recovery mode you can use your gui without ur driver butting in [19:30] That is the point of a channel, other people can chip in and try to help you, and others can learn from it. So it isn't really pragmatic to do that. [19:30] shadeslayer: well, I can set a new value - but it's reset to 3 / muted on startup again [19:30] edbin: ahh .. then there is another directory for this .. maybe .xfce or something? [19:31] sjohn: did you try setting it through alsa mixer?? [19:31] pronoy_: I am using Radeon, and nah, It doesn't work. Regardless of whether you are in Recovery mode or not, you need a driver, right? and 'vesa' didn't seem to work neither, just gave me an obscurely coloured screen, and froze everything. [19:31] shadeslayer: yes; actually, that's the only way I am ever setting it [19:31] I think I have found the problem === eugen_ is now known as Guest52781 [19:31] sjohn: ah...no idea then,that was my only lead :P [19:31] edbin: but you can of course try all the directories that were created for the new account .. [19:31] it says sda7 is 2 gig [19:31] KB1JWQ: also, when i run the grub commandline 'hd' autocompletes to 'hd0,' - i only have one disk. [19:31] nikkiclau: cannot see an xfce one, except in .config, and I had already tried this [19:31] Hi grawity, you are from xkcd rite? [19:31] Hermpie: i mean your RAM [19:31] fiend: Well...yeah? [19:32] xD [19:32] I got 1 gig [19:32] fiend: Boot into recovery mode, and choose the option that fix's display. It will default your xorg.conf file. (i.e. remove any installed drivers) [19:32] !who [19:32] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:32] Hermpie: how much of it is occupied? [19:32] I failed to make a 3d cube in Ubuntu [19:32] does anyone else have some idea regarding the startup default values of master volume and mutedness? [19:32] coleys: I already tried that, and as far as I know, xorg.conf is fairly redundant in late versions, is it not?

[19:33] I have a folder on a different HD that is not accessible from within ftp, i did a symbolic link inside a folder that is accessible, but people cannot use that folder still, how should I go around this problem? [19:33] w8 [19:33] I am now watching the CPU :p [19:33] w8 a sec [19:33] fiend: Well I used recovery mode, because I accidently uninstalled GDM in xubuntu, so I got no display ( forgot about startx command) so I tried the display thing, and it had uninstalled my nvidia drivers. [19:34] Hermpie: well if its more that 450 MB it just might be a fork bomb or some anomally [19:34] So am back on windows [19:34] coleys: I will try it, although it seems doubtful :) brb [19:34] memory = 600 mb out of 1g and [19:34] felix_da_catz: Good luck [19:34] edbin: tried moving .config or .cache?

Sorry about using pastebin, but I haven't got a gui atm [19:47] I can't pastebin it btw [19:47] Hermpie: start ff from a terminal and pastebin [19:47] nad: That's just you, and any problems you have could probably be fixed by a quick search on google. [19:47] qcjn: what are you using that for? MP3 server? [19:47] troll: right click on the button... perferences if its avant... see configurations [19:47] nad: Many people have the same problems. [19:47] nad: I'm trying to help you but you aren't asking a question, you just keep saying that you're having problems. [19:47] Hi. I have a samba share of a RAID1 array formatted for ext3. Is there any way that I can force it so that any files placed into this share have no permissions information regardless of whether the files are added via the samba share or by the "mount" ? In other words, is it possible to mount a partition without any permissions being applied to the files placed on it ?

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [19:48] Fasterfox [19:48] Adblockplus [19:48] coleys: Hermpie is going to pastebin the output [19:48] ehm.. [19:48] I can't [19:48] !paste [19:48] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [19:48] So...no one knows how to rip DVD9 to DVD5 from the command line? [19:48] I manually re-installed GTK+ (don't ask me why, I don't remember :P), but it screwed up my appearance manager. Afterwards, there seemed to be a warning about Xvfb in the make check (I didn't run it the first time :x), and now I fixed that, re-installed GTK+ without any errors or warnings, but my appearance manager isn't fixed. [19:48] I can't [19:48] coleys: ff is not starting [19:49] Hermpie: Use konqueror, nautilus or whatever [19:49] w8 [19:49] You can pastebin it for me [19:49] nmvictor: Ok, cool. It is hard for me to google it with w3m, as it sucks :) [19:49] I can't install anything [19:49] i want to get off this freakin vista. how can i fix jaunty? sudo apt-get rescue-ME [19:49] fiend:cant get the paste on pastebin [19:49] shadeslayer: Remove it, then reinstall. [19:49] nmvictor: Which one? [19:49] coleys: oh yeah [19:49] Hermpie: KDE or Gnome? [19:49] how can I install a theme.tar.gz via command line (like dragging the targz to the themes list in Appearance Preferences) [19:49] mrwes: it can be done, just don't know the exact command [19:49] CoCo_: I think, you might have to fresh install if you turned the computer off while it was updating. [19:49] coleys: he PM'd the output to me :P [19:50] shadeslayer: :D [19:50] hmw: extract it into ~/.themes [19:50] MaT-dg: yah me neither [19:50] fiend:one about apt issues [19:50] shadeslayer: Send it my awy =p [19:50] fiend: I was the head developer at one point. That was a long time ago now :P [19:50] nmvictor: Why cant you access it, 404? [19:50] yes i did coleys... what should i do now>? another clean install? [19:50] jaunty vpn is broken, how do i fix it? [19:50] CoCo_: Yeah, won't take long. (I hated windows, because when I had to fresh install it took hours ) ubuntu takes like 20 mins =) [19:51] coleys: http://paste.ubuntu.com/164385/ [19:51] fiend:A balnk pastebin [19:51] how to overcome this bug...what is the workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/305496 [19:51] nmvictor: o.O [19:51] Hermpie: in a terminal type sudo apt-get remove firefox [19:51] fiend:you probably didnt copy the link from the browsers combo box [19:51] thevdi, that couldn't help [19:51] shadeslayer: sudo aptitude remove firefox (in terminal) [19:51] her [19:51] coleys: is there other ways around it for future references? for example if i had alot of stuff in it and got into this problem [19:52] nmvictor: Go to fiend.pastebin.com and on the FAR left it says 'recent posts' and view the apt one :) Did you try that earlier? [19:52] hey guys - just wondering if it's possible to install a 64 bit OS on a 32 bit computer? [19:52] coleys: yeah thats what i said [19:52] whoever, ok. I had a problem accessing my Sony device so I wondered if it was something similar given you are trying to mount the internal memory. NP [19:52] What is the applet that takes care off automatical update notification, firefox restart notification and so on... I seem to turned it off? [19:52] BTMainframe: unfortunately no [19:52] BTMainframe: try it... its free [19:52] CoCo_: No, shutting a computer down during updates is generally never a good thing... because then it has partially updated files that don't work together, as you can tell by experience. [19:52] coleys: corrupted disk? [19:52] I manually re-installed GTK+ (don't ask me why, I don't remember :P), but it screwed up my appearance manager. Afterwards, there seemed to be a warning about Xvfb in the make check (I didn't run it the first time :x), and now I fixed that, re-installed GTK+ without any errors or warnings, but my appearance manager isn't fixed. [19:52] BTMainframe: but you may be surprised to find that what you thought was a 32 bit computer is really 64 bit [19:53] Glowball: maybe your settings werent deleted [19:53] mbeierl: :) Aren't a lot of computers 64 bit [19:53] Just don't use the undersupported 64 bit os's [19:53] fiend: i have a 64 bit [19:53] fiend:nop [19:53] coleys: my screen was acting crazy....... or froze.... is ctrl-alt-bckspc disabled in jaunty? i tried it first [19:53] shadeslayer: same... [19:53] fiend:let me try [19:53] BTMainframe: that happened to me - a computer I bought off the shelf (display model) with 32bit windows on it was sold as 32 bit machine for $250 CAD. turns out it's 64bit [19:53] mbeierl: actually the comp I'm thinking of is a rather old one - somehow doubt it's 64 bit. But thanks anyways - you probs saved me a load of time (and bandwidth) :) [19:53] !dontzap | CoCo_ [19:53] CoCo_: 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. [19:53] nmvictor: It works for me? and everone else :D [19:53] friends....i tried to install a new kernel and i aborted the process [19:54] so whenever i try to use dpkg it fails [19:54] What do I have to type again [19:54] BTMainframe: do you know the spec of the chip? [19:54] Hermpie: sudo aptitude remove firefox [19:54] CoCo_: It's possible theme engine's were getting updated, so things might have been flashy or looked like they were morphing... All part of the update process. [19:54] shadeslayer, how can I reset them to default? [19:54] ubottu: why? i was used to ctl alt bckspc. [19:54] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:54] Glowball: i assume this is gnome? [19:55] anyone know how to apply third party themes to gedit? [19:55] Yes [19:55] mbeierl: I can probs find out - it's running debian right now. What command is it to find out the architecture of a computer? [19:55] hello [19:55] how do i force update-initramfs to ignore this kernel [19:55] cat /proc/cpuinfo [19:55] mrwes: i m in sources.list now, what i have to puy is the 2 lines that starts with deb, right ? [19:55] BTMainframe: that might give a starting point [19:55] shadeslayer: you assume right. [19:55] Glowball: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity resets gnome to defaults [19:55] Hi. I have a samba share of a RAID1 array formatted for ext3. Is there any way that I can force it so that any files placed into this share have no permissions information regardless of whether the files are added via the samba share or by the "mount" ? In other words, is it possible to mount a partition without any permissions being applied to the files placed on it ? If I use the "nosuid" option, that seems to be OK (no permissions) [19:55] qcjn: yah...or you could have done it via the synaptic manager GUI [19:55] coleys: never seen it before in 4 5 6 7 8 versions... guess this 9 is not so guud.. runs really well tho.. job well done ubuntu community [19:55] And now [19:56] qcjn: then save it and sudo apt-get update [19:56] shadeslayer: *how* default? [19:56] Why all the fuss over sudo in the last few years? Is su obsolete? [19:56] Hermpie: now sudo apt-get install firefox [19:56] IT says it deleted FF but I am still on it [19:56] mrwes: ok, but the key thing is not done yet [19:56] enyawix: sudo is often more convienent [19:56] Glowball: what do you mean by how? [19:56] fiend:ok,i have it [19:56] shadeslayer: it took me 3 days to get my sound working - I don't want to get through that stage again. [19:56] Pici: It is an icon set (Minty Fresh), and extracting to ~/.themes doesnt make it available in Appearance Prefs [19:56] CoCo_: Upgrades can sometimes be a mess... Fresh installs are way to go. Could have been an issue with your graphics driver, during the update. [19:56] Glowball: hmm,no idea apart from that [19:56] qcjn: I don't know how to add a PGP key from the CLI [19:56] Doesn't works [19:57] hmw: Icons go in ~/.icons [19:57] pici: thanks [19:57] ubuntu evolution. su - sudo.... ctl alt bcksp to ctrl sys K i think [19:57] Glowball: ok back them up and then remove them,if sound doesnt work again,copy them back [19:57] mrwes: what is CLI [19:57] enyawix, also, ubuntu disables the root account by default ... [19:57] !terminal | qcjn [19:57] qcjn: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [19:57] command line input [19:57] CoCo_: ctrl-alt-backspace was removed upstream by Xorg. [19:57] !dontzap [19:57] 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. [19:57] Pici: why? [19:57] nmvictor: :) Ty [19:58] shadeslayer: thanlks [19:58] gotta remember that ctl alt sys req and K in jaunty and so fourth [19:58] ok thank ubottu [19:58] shadeslayer: Because they wanted to. People were accidentally pressing it I guess. [19:58] Pici: makes sense [19:58] can i do an install from inside debian? [19:58] enyawix: We do not support crossgrading from Debian. It might work, it might not, it might completely break. [19:59] fiend:could we go private please,so i dont have to type you name now and then? [19:59] How can I unlock the vpn tab of the networkmanager? All buttons of the vpn register card are disabled. [19:59] WeatherReport 2.26.0 Forecast not currently available for this location. Radar Map are these broken ? [19:59] coleys: can i recover from the cd. i already made all the eyecandy luuk guud in my desktop...

If I use the "nosuid" option, that seems to be OK (no permissions) [20:00] Hello [20:00] Pici i have so hardware not supported by the install cd kernel :( [20:00] iBuys: hi [20:00] Hermpie: wb [20:00] WeatherReport 2.26.0 Anyone got the Forecast/Radar Map working in [20:00] facepalm [20:00] Hermpie: what happened?

[20:06] I messed up my installation of Ubuntu 9.04 as follows: I have a laptop with windows XP Home, I wanted to install ubuntu on an external usb-HDD (used to be in a desktop compter - Windows XP is still on it, but not being used). The installation went smoothly - but I chose to keep everything that was on the HDD, picked dual-boot. Eventually I find out that my BIOS does not support usb-booting (at least I think it doesn't). [20:06] iBuys: nope dosan't seem so [20:06] !mac | iBuys [20:06] iBuys: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [20:06] Hermpie: yoru trying to set up a good dual boot set up?

[20:16] Wierd activity... Ubuntu slows down exponential when I plug in the AC power... runs great on battery... ideas? [20:16] joerack: it should be fast ... blazing infact [20:16] So I've installed Jaunty on a laptop and there is no option to log out or switch users. What gives? [20:16] jaw: does dmesg say anything when you connect power ? [20:16] joerack: ok that's the problem I think [20:16] jaw: jaunty ?

Would there be a reason why my amd64 doesn't recognize let me use all of my RAM. Im able to use 3.80gigs of it, and I have 4094gigs all together? [20:17] joerack: try typing into a terminal 'glxinfo | grep direct' [20:17] any idea on where to find info about sound and jaunty... it is really low since the upgrade!! [20:17] ok [20:17] checking now [20:17] coleys: use the server kernel [20:17] joerack: have you installed the graphics card driver? that will probably get rid of a lot of the slowness [20:17] direct rendering: Yes [20:17] GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access, [20:18] is that ok? [20:18] joerack, sebsebseb: I don't believe that tracker will index while on batery power. When you plug in your computer its probably beginning to index and thus using your cpu. [20:18] Hi, I just downloaded Amarok and all the restricted codecs (+VLC) and Amarok won't play anything.

[20:18] I don't see anything unusal [20:18] !info tracker [20:19] tracker (source: tracker): metadata database, indexer and search tool. In component main, is optional.

[20:19] Pici: ah ok [20:19] How amd I possible, to use the live cd to change partions [20:19] hello, i have a question. i am using ubuntu 9.04 with an Intel GM965/GL960 graphics accelerator. how can i enable desktop effects? when i try it says "Searching for avaliable drivers" then "Desktop effects cannot be enabled" [20:19] so, I apt-get glassfishv2, but I don't get glassfishv2, I get "Sun Java System Application Server v9.1_01". What's going on there? [20:20] sebsebseb: Check System>Preferences>Search something (I don't have a gui to reference here) to change your preferences. [20:20] anyone managed to make Amarok play anything at all? [20:20] whiter: isn't glassfist== sun java ? [20:20] So... ubuntu 9.04 must be avoided? [20:20] Pici: yeah not me with the issue, that other guy though yeah [20:20] joerack: uh no [20:20] Yanick_: Banshee would be a better choice. [20:20] I'm getting an error, I think it is with my dvd player but I cant get ubuntu booted [20:20] joerack: I switched to ubuntu after seeing 9.04 .. [20:20] cemerick: Please don't double-post the same problem here AND in #kubuntu . Pick which channel is for the desktop you are in. [20:20] Er, it boots [20:20] duryo: i dont know what you are talking about [20:20] but how do I solve this [20:20] Yanick_: yeah Banshee is great [20:21] genii: um, I'm not even in #kubuntu [20:21] alright then [20:21] hi people! [20:21] Yanick_: unless on Ubuntu 8.04 since that had a old version that was rubbish [20:21] too bad, the interface looked nice :) [20:21] sebsebseb, nope, 9.04 [20:21] But if I click on the 'install' I get some stange errors, [20:21] whiter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GlassFish [20:21] cemerick: Apologies, my irc client had a hiccup [20:21] I had 8.04, and it worked great [20:21] and I'm using server 9.0.4, no desktop [20:21] buffer io error on device sr0 [20:21] what to do after u just install ubuntu to get like youtube and stuff to work? [20:21] !youtube [20:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about youtube [20:21] seatownrocks: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:21] Yanick_: yep good version of Banshee in the 9.04 repo [20:22] What's the option for aptitude that will let me search for packages that will install a given file? [20:22] duryo: says i got a conflict... how do i figure out what i've installed that is conflicting? [20:22] duryo: okay, not really sure what that has to do with me heh [20:23] Thanks for the help ;-) [20:23] waa! [20:23] it works! Amarok [20:23] lol [20:23] I just install Totem video player and Amarok plays mp3 [20:23] anyway, "Sun Java System Application Server 9.1_01" is almost a year old, I think. [20:23] that's funny [20:23] Yanick_: if you got the codecs installed yeah [20:23] that glassfishv2 pkg is borked [20:23] nice [20:24] Yanick_: also I highly reccommend Banshee [20:24] duryo: never mind, i guess i had a window open that was stopping it... it is working now [20:24] Yanick_: Which version of ubuntu do you use? [20:24] Yanick_: Like gnome, or kde, or xfce? [20:24] cemerick: why not download from sun? [20:25] bindaas: usually I do, but I figured setting things up through apt would be nice for a change. I guess I learned my lesson there. [20:25] cemerick: If the package is broken, you should probably file a bug for it. [20:25] seatownrocks: on a new install i normally install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package and it gets flash and java and other things all working. [20:25] cemerick: anything related to java,i dont use ubuntu repos :) [20:26] bindaas: really? That's good to know. [20:26] wireless card intel pro wireless 5100 is compatible with ubuntu at 64 bit?

[20:50] charles_ how come? [20:50] Kubuntu__ for testing, i'd suggest, you disconnect every hard drive except the windows one, and then maybe use fixmbr. This should definetively let your windows boot. After that you need to clean the MBRs of the other drives, but I dont know how yet [20:50] and I wanted to ask a question aswel,,seems i best join the que or keeping googling [20:51] ati and ubuntu are enemyes ? === hello is now known as Guest7228 [20:51] i just need a torrent client i can use on a computer which i cant sudo on.

[20:52] Kubuntu__ oh my. Find out, how to write MBRs to other drives, than the boot drive.

[20:52] yes i dont have it [20:52] Kubuntu__: Are they IDE drives? Or SATA or? [20:53] @Usr13: Unfortunately all IDE Annoying as hell. [20:53] everytime i open firefox it starts in offline mode ?? why does it do that ? [20:53] Kubuntu__ there is another problem, that can occur: the active partition gets a "boot flag" in the partition table. If this bit is set on different partitions at the same time, your sys wont boot at all. (But I guess, youre not having this problem here) [20:53] the laptop is a toshiba l350 10l [20:53] @usr13 I cant install windows without switching to the CD IDE port because the IDE is RAID ports [20:53] hi i have a problem with pinnacle usb tvb with 9.04,,Lsusb recognizes the usb pen..but me tv says that arenot tvb devices === swoody_ is now known as swoody [20:53] Tom__: Whats your card?

But there are only extension for PEM certificates (.key / .cer / .crt / . pem / ) Why am I not able to load the certificate from the p12 file? [20:54] usr13: There is no primary IDE port. [20:54] Sergeant_Pony2 a good ressource for looking such thing up is the LFS web site. use google: site:linuxfromscratch.org [20:55] Kubuntu__: But if you boot your Linux OS you can repair grub's chainloader and then be able to boot XP again.

[21:00] hmw: But if he removes grub he will no longer be able to boot Linux [21:00] triciens, you should try htop [21:00] usr13: he wants to remove linux, too [21:00] Tom__, because mine did.. search on ubuntuforum.org for a guide to making your own config file to use...or enable WPA2 in your router, if you can.

[21:06] Crash1hd: Yeah I'd say windows first aswell. Cause ubuntu installs its own bootmenu. [21:06] Kubuntu__: Your MS Windows drive is going to be the master on the primary (first IDE port). BUT, grub is more than likely wrote to the MBR of that primary drive and by removing the others, you will only dissable the Linux boot. IF you boot to Linux you can repair grub so that XP will boot and you'll be good to go. You can still boot Linux? Right? If not, use the rescue mode on the install CD to boot Ubuntu.

[21:15] hmw; usr13: Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer..on the XP startup disk [21:15] Kubuntu__: See: "Recovering GRUB after reinstalling Windows" section on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [21:15] paolo88: i think it is supported by the iw driver [21:15] Crash1hd: Because windows uses its own boot manager, but ubuntu installs it own aswell. ANd yeah Gparted is the best. =) [21:15] Crash1hd: You know, if you install Windows first, then you'll be less angry, that Ubuntu is installing more speedier than Windows :P [21:15] erUSUL: iw driver? Can you explain me this? [21:15] Leszczoman: wahha, true. [21:16] paolo88: from the intel wireless for linux website After 2.6.26 the intree driver iwlagn also supports the new 5100BG, 5100ABG, 5100AGN, 5300AGN and 5350AGN series hardwares. [21:16] so i did sudo apt-get install ubunutu-restricted-extras and so now like youtube videos play but they are very choppy... anything else i can do? videos play much smoother on this comp in windows... [21:16] ok so if I install windows first do I just partition the first 5 gigs? and leave the rest blank for ubuntu? [21:16] Kubuntu__ if i am not mistaken, after using fixmbr your windows should already boot, if you have only that hard drive in your computer. What does the BIOS boot screen say about found disks? [21:16] Crash1hd: Also if you install windows first, it will be alot easier because Ubuntu will then be able to recognize its installed and have it as a boot option ( if you install ubuntu first it won't be able to do that, so you'll have to add it to boot menu) [21:16] paolo88: so yur card is supported jaunty use 2.6.28 kernel > 2.6.26 [21:16] the best mp3 player for gnome, any ideas? [21:17] Crash1hd: the cool thing about linux, you can install it cleanly, do a static backup using dd, and then you always have a clear backup you can restore. with that you can ride karmic and do other cool stuff, for example [21:17] hey guys, i'm having some annoying sound issues. I'm getting sound to work in certain apps but not others. It seems that sound is specifically not working when i play video files.

[21:18] Crash1hd: similar to cat, only more lowlevel [21:18] hello [21:18] Kubuntu__ thats weird. It would be easier to check things in linux, so you should boot the Ubuntu Live CD, so we can investigate [21:18] laucian: hey, i have tried vlc [21:18] skapism: ok [21:18] erUSUL: last questions....the nvidia fx770M, you can said me if it is supported too?

[21:23] paolo88: yes. it should apply to other versions too XD [21:23] hey I really like the design of the netbook remix interface, but it eats way too much cpu cycles on my laptop, with its lousy graphics card. Is there some launcher based on a similar concept, but not requiring 3d accel to perform acceptably? [21:23] Crash1hd: Like mentioned vmware is also available in ubuntu, so =) [21:24] erUSUL: tanks for all! [21:24] coleys: thats the hard part for me is figuring out how much to give xp as I think I am not going to use it much 5 gigs should do but I may down the road want to insall windows 7 or 8 cant remember and that may need more [21:24] Kubuntu__ if you have a Western Digital hard drive, it means, that the drive isnt jumpered for single mode. (probably its now master or slave and allone on the bus) [21:24] whenever i run an applet it says-------start:applet not initialized ...........can anyone help? [21:24] drbobb, mine doesnt have effects enabled. [21:24] drbobb: I'd read the comparison article on tuxrader [21:25] coleys: but I dont want to give up too much space that could be used elsewhere and is wasted as an ntfs drive lol [21:25] skapism: that did the job - thanks :-) [21:25] hmw: ok. [21:25] drbobb: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/group-test-netbook-distros [21:25] skapism: how do I drop the root password now? [21:25] \exit === mike is now known as Guest2301 [21:25] Crash1hd: I'd suggest 10gigs. lol ntfs is fail =( [21:25] adamretter: welcome === WaX-Dan^away is now known as WaX-Dan [21:25] adamretter: drop it? just leave it as it, you can exit root with 'exit' [21:25] Crash1hd: you can access NTFS drive from your ubuntu [21:25] adamretter: it's useful to have su sometimes. sudo has its limitations [21:25] erUSUL: I go out...tanks! [21:25] skapism: okay thanks [21:26] paolo88: no problem [21:26] deany: desktop effects are irrelevant to the netbook launcher [21:26] whenever i run an applet it says-------start:applet not initialized ...........can anyone help? [21:26] adamretter: welcome [21:26] salut [21:26] cheers then [21:26] adamretter: cheers [21:26] <_Tristan> how do I make the "hp" partition mount on startup? [21:26] coleys: you figure 10 its too bad it has to be at the front otherwise if it was at the back of the drive and I ended up need the space I could wipe the ntfs and merge it with the ext3 using gparted [21:26] guys, how can I mount a partial ntfs image [21:26] _Tristan: Edit /etc/fstab [21:26] acfrazier: partial? [21:26] drbobb, wasnt that your question.. I thought you said UNR used 3d accel to run...... [21:27] drbobb, which it doesnt. === Halfdream_ is now known as BOLLOCKS [21:27] hola, caracola [21:27] deany: I think it relies on opengl [21:27] skapism: it was obtained from ddrescue, but the hard drive started clacking, so I shut it off, mounting it returns errors [21:27] Crash1hd: You could always get like acronis disk suite and have it installed on the xp drive, which could manage all of that. [21:27] acfrazier: you can force mount it with ntfs-3g === gary is now known as Guest44054 [21:27] ok guys i've got a little problem. i was messing around with xubuntu before and now whenever anything opens it runs in full screen so i can't click the X to close it [21:27] !bot [21:27] Hi!

[21:27] skapism - its better to use sudo -i instead of assigning a password to root. The root password can be "removed" with sudo passwd -l root [21:27] hay alguien ahí? [21:27] deany: thus you can expect performance to suck if that isn't h/w accelerated [21:27] Crash1hd: And also ubuntu takes ~20 mins to install so a backup, delete and resize of it's partition would only take 20 mins... if you decided xp needs more =) [21:27] coleys: googling now lol :) [21:28] drbobb, runs fine.. smooth [21:28] _Tristan: If you will pastebin the results of sudo fdisk -l we can tell you the entry you need to make in /etc/fstab [21:28] !noroot > hmw [21:28] hmw, please see my private message [21:28] anyone in here used windows 7? [21:28] hmw: both have their weak and strong points. when I have to do a lot of admining, I switch over. it makes no sense to use sudo for that [21:28] skapism: sudo mount -o loop -o force -t ntfs MainHDDimg.ntfs /media/MainHDD/ returns Failed to read last sector (291499424): Invalid argument [21:28] or are we all strict linux only users? [21:28] deany: as I said it's irrelevant whether you have efects enabled [21:28] Jack_Sparrow: uhm, thanks? [21:28] Klone Please find a windows room [21:28] only a question [21:28] Jack_Sparrow: i explained, how to NOT use a root account [21:28] im using ubuntu 9.04 [21:28] whenever i run an applet it says-------start:applet not initialized ...........can anyone help? [21:28] deany: what matters is whether your gfx card supports accelerated opengl [21:28] acfrazier: dunno, then I guess it's really trashed. have you tried having windows correct it? [21:28] seems pretty good to me [21:28] Klone: My honest opinion i HATE WINDOWS! xD [21:29] hmw You also gave the way to set root password.. [21:29] Jack_Sparrow: Yor a loon. =p [21:29] lol [21:29] is it possible to remove the ubuntu icon from the "Applications" menu? [21:29] i tried installing kde on my ubuntu [21:29] skapism: you dont need to activate the root account, since we have "sudo -i" [21:29] and it just slowed it right down, me thinks i will stick with good old gnome [21:29] lol. =p [21:29] hmw: what does -i do? [21:29] make you root, skapism [21:29] deany: maybe it runs smooth for you, but it's a *lot* slower than a standard gnome desktop on my machine [21:29] hmw: I'm not _that_ partial to sudo. its designs has its flaws, in my humble opinion [21:29] !noroot > skapism [21:29] skapism, please see my private message [21:30] i've messed up my linux. the X buttons have disappeared and everything seems to run in full screen mode....nothing shows up at the bottom either [21:30] hmw: so the LiveCD is booted what now [21:30] drbobb, its only a dell mini 9, with intel gfx, and one that doesnt play nice with google earth either.. [21:30] hmw: I don't mind being 24/7 here. besides, you just saw a prime example where sudo failed, so it kinda beats the point [21:30] Jack sparrow are you an op =/? [21:30] super_hoops1967: Screen size is wrong. [21:30] drbobb, well I dont know then dude.. [21:30] super_hoops1967: Either your screen resolution is set too low, or your window manager has crashed.

[21:32] Is there any way to specify an exact version of a package to install? [21:32] skapism: what was that prime example? i cant imagine, that something does not work with sudo -i, except maybe starting X as root, which is not a good idea, either [21:32] laucian: i'm back, had to do a quick restart to make sure nothing was trying to use sound and still no luck [21:32] :\ [21:32] I don't have physical access to the box, but I have them on the phone === SuPeRmAn is now known as SuperMan [21:32] after the upgrade I rebooted the box [21:32] skapism: yea i'm there i just dont see any way to take that icon off [21:32] How do I print pages 47 and 48 from a PDF?

I have installed the jackalope and i would like to tell me which flash plugin to install (i'm newbie...) [21:34] The most linux people [21:34] pl0x get ubuntu it's easy and free pl0x [21:34] laucian: it was relatively expensive yes. it's specifically for recording insturments [21:34] Super_Man: sudo apt-get flashplugin-nonfree [21:34] Hermpie: please stop that [21:34] i'am fresh installing jaunty, so is it okay if i copy my 'home' folder which is currently in my filesystem to a new partition and put the mount point as /home during installation?

[21:35] QuiltPants, maybe there are no ubuntu drivers for it..did you ask the company for a linux driver? [21:35] axyelp: should be.. [21:35] that's what i have allready installed. is there something to do to make the flash faster? [21:35] Kubuntu__ i see 2 drives !?

[21:36] please reply, i'am in midst of installation! will copying hardy's home into new installation's /home partition before installing work? [21:36] my network manager applet is taking too long (like 2-3 min) to recognize my wireless card (not even connect to network, that takes some more minutes) on boot. it is possible it is a bug or maybe i am missing something. using openbox if it is relevant [21:36] lan orospu evlatlarýý [21:36] :d [21:36] axyelp: Yep, that'll do fine [21:36] rodb: i think, yes, but dont know how. RTFM or ask google *G* [21:36] robd: wget from repository, then dpkg -i [21:36] hmw: besides, so far as I know, sudo is not classicly used the way it is in ubuntu. but I'll refrain from suggesting it in the future, if that should pacify you :) [21:36] ananýzý sikim sizin olurmu [21:36] :D:D [21:36] laucian: i haven't asked them, but i don't believe there is one from searching around.

[21:38] hmw: i have an external and the internal [21:38] laucian: i'll just thow that question out there again and see if someone else has had similar issues :) [21:38] hey guys when i try to enable visual effects on my laptop with a nvidia card i get the following error. I was wondering if this is a bug in jaunty http://pastebin.com/d2bdd0cb6 [21:38] hmw: 6 drives total i just unplugged 4 of them [21:38] hmw: my understanding of sudo was to be able to provide *some* users with *some* privileges, that's what I meant by saying it's not classicaly used in ubuntu [21:39] robd: What I do is, I go to the http mirror, and dive right to the package to find the link. (e.g. http://ubuntu.lhi.is/pool/main/b/bacula/) [21:39] not a ubuntu specific question, but does anyone know of a S60 3rd F1 Gnapplet for Nokia so I can use gnokii / wammu? === qu1ckdraw is now known as quickdraw [21:39] QuiltPants, linuxquestions.org is a very good forum, where i mostly get good answers [21:39] alleykat: no such thing [21:39] any idea ? [21:39] Actuallly if I wanted to have a dual boot of xp vista windows 7 and ubuntu I am best to install ubuntu last right? [21:39] Myrtti, like it does not exist? [21:39] Crash1hd, yes install ubuntu at last [21:40] Kubuntu__ hmm. I wonder, if your sys would boot if only one disk is present. I would like you to make the windows disk the only existing one, and then use fixmbr and fixboot. I want to know, if that makes it boot again, to determine, where to look for further errors [21:40] hmw: i tried that, winXP boot disk doesnt find it. [21:40] laucian: that being said since windows 7 isnt out yet when I do install it I can fix the bootloader after i take it [21:40] is link aggregation broken in jaunty ? [21:40] trying to follow the directions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset , I have no such file as /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf . help? [21:40] Kubuntu__ probably, because it wanst set to single mode [21:40] skapism: sudo in ubuntu provides *some* (or one) user(s) with the right to execute programs as root, where is the difference? === gaurav__ is now known as gaurav [21:40] hmw:its plugged into a RAID port [21:40] alleykat: v3 isn't compatible with gnokii/wammu, there has been some advancement in making an app for v3, but haven't heard about it in ages [21:41] I just upgraded from 2gb to 4gb of RAM on my 64-bit ubuntu box, but Ubuntu only reports 2.9GiB. What might my problem be? [21:41] Kubuntu__ ah, i remember, you have an option to load additional raid drivers... do you have a driver disk for that controller_ [21:41] darn, so no backup of my E51 under ubuntu, back to #¤% win I guess :( [21:41] laucian: ok i'll take a look and see what i can find. thanks again [21:41] guntbert: well, if you see it that way, it's explainable. I guess it's how you see the user [21:41] hmw: No floppy disk its on a CD and i cant load a CDRom drive it has about 20000 drivers on it to select which one it was.. [21:42] Hey, they have deleted serveral locations from germany. Now I cant configure the weather applet correctly, but I need correct weather information. Is it possible to add the missing locations ? [21:42] hi all, i'm struggling to set up my soundcard to work at the moment. it seems to work for one application at a time and not at all for video files. i have an external soundcard. an alesis io|2. does anyone have any ideas that might help? [21:42] alleykat: there are ways to do backups by other means depending on what you need [21:42] Kubuntu__ 1) would it be impossible to forget about the current windows and reinstall it? 2) does your MoBo have an IDE controller in addition? [21:42] Hi all, anyone else having problems with Intersil/Prism kit on 9.04? [21:43] Gnome Do seems to point to an old wine version of Firefox (which I deleted), how do I change it? [21:43] just a complete phone system backup - contacts, cal, messages [21:43] skapism: that applies (by default) only to users in the admin group, and that is usually only one, but you can enable it for as many as you like [21:43] I'm on the phones file system, connected via BT [21:43] hmw: it has a CDRom drive IDE but only one... and i dont have an external enclosure/IDE-sata USB plug to copy over my files from my drive [21:44] alguno save español aka? [21:44] I have more then one hdd but alll the other drives are backup drives (Is it best to leave them disconnected when doing the install and then just add them later?) [21:44] Kubuntu__ this is thougher than i thought. I have no expirience with stubborn raid controllers [21:44] guntbert: you are aware that sudo requires you to enter password only once, so unless you close the terminal, the security risk is the same as with leaving su on? [21:44] alleykat: you can do a backup on the memorycard itself [21:44] hmw: I wish i could return the POS it cost me $3000 [21:44] #math [21:44] Kubuntu__ try: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt && ls /mnt [21:44] Yep... well, nothing to do about it atm I guess Myrtti, thanks for answering [21:44] guntbert: as in, I mean, the user should still actively choose to close the terminal [21:44] i can't speak ingles any more and i have a lot of questions [21:45] can me help [21:45] Kubuntu__ you should see the root dir of your windows drive [21:45] alleykat: also tools to sync phone to ovi or gmail/gcal and getting a text dump of sms [21:45] !es | mikeluri [21:45] mikeluri: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[21:46] Kubuntu__ can you access sda1? sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt && ls /mnt [21:46] can i install 8.04 from a usb some how? [21:46] (a 1 GB usb preferably...) [21:46] hmw: liveCD isnt up i have a bluetooth keyboard and its just too many problems [21:46] alleykat: may I ask how you're syncing it :-) [21:46] alleykat: google myfunambol .. might be good for you ;-) [21:46] Kubuntu__ well, then I wish you good luck [21:46] hi! is there a command in 9.04 forcing screen resolution .. With AMD/ATI drivers installed .. I cannot change it in CCC and screen display won't open [21:47] as for the rest, I hoped to use wammu, it really looks like it got all what nokia pc suite has plus more... but 's ok, I dualboot with xp, just got connection problems under win - both usb and bt [21:47] skapism: not really so, sudo state lasts about 5 minutes (for the lazy ones), but you can "close" the sudo session any time (use sudo -K), see man sudo [21:48] napa: IIRC, you can manually set some resolutions in the xorg.conf file .. i don't remember if xinerama can be controlled by cli .. [21:48] guntbert: ever hear of a user who did that? XD [21:48] funambol isn't bad... I use calsync from s60addons.com [21:48] and use sunbird with gcal to sync home [21:48] guntbert: I think you should go about it consequently (ie, ask for password each time) or just use su. that is my personal opinion, anyway [21:49] \quit (Bye everyone) [21:49] alleykat: why not run windows under VirtualBox and hand the USB devices to it? [21:49] This is a bit off topic... it regards torrents. What exactly is the "ratio" used for? Do I have an overall ratio or is it just for each file, and does the download go faster if you have a better ratio? Do some clients refuse to upload to me unless I have a certain ratio? Thanks for any help. [21:49] hmw: I hope it works. Nothing ever seems to work around here. [21:49] alleykat: that should give you a more stable network solution .. [21:49] okay so i tried replacing the start_here.png icon from /usr/share/icons/Human/24x24/places and restarting gnome-panel but that did not work... does anyone know of a way to get rid of the ubuntu icon on the gnome-panel to the left of "Applications" ? [21:49] perillu: on public trackers, it's mostly just to be polite and share back as much as you download [21:49] good evening. i'm trying to find a graphical interface to administrate my mssql server under ubuntu [21:49] perillu: on private trackers, you'll likely get banned/deleted/etc if your share ratio gets too low [21:50] anyone got an idea? [21:50] Kubuntu__ using a RAID as boot drive often causes troubles :( try to avoid it (use one single OS drive and the RAID goes for data) [21:50] nikkiclau: i tried xrandr .. It says maximum screen resolutin are 1280x1024 60 hz ... But I only get automatically 1024X768 75 hz .... (I've also got an old CRT tv plugged in with Svhs cable I guess) [21:50] perillu: if I'm *not* mistaken the bitorrent protocol is constructed such that people with more upload gets priority. no idea about ratio, unless it's a private tracker [21:50] rico never heard of one..

What do you think? hehe [21:53] napa, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/347758/comments/14 [21:53] this helped me a LOT [21:53] Kubuntu__ maybe you should extract all important data with the LiveCD to your external drive and do a resetup [21:53] anyone use avidemux here? or otherwise understand an option --audio-normalize /mode/ the mode part is what i dont understand [21:54] hmw: I'm thinking the same.... -sigh- [21:54] with ATI radeon HD 3600 and dual screens - had same problem that screen res app froze and ati ccc crashed/went crazy [21:54] Kubuntu__ are you familiar with mount? [21:54] howdy [21:54] hello [21:54] napa, this made the ATI ccc take control and work, my sys runs smooth now [21:54] Kubuntu__: You should be able to get it to boot again. Did you look at the URLs we sent? [21:54] hmw: Few years ago i was 100% linux with PCLinuxOS [21:55] nikkiclau: nope .. When trying to start the display ..The TV flickers alot .. then a box with grey backround and a thick green vertical bar in the middle apperears .. And the systems starts to hang/freeze .. Like using all the cpu power [21:55] usr13: I did, Indeed. [21:55] how can i use some stable package on unstable distro? [21:55] virtx: it's a matter of dependencies, mostly. likely not. [21:55] i'm having trouble getting the rsync service to start. i do /etc/init.d/rsync start and it gives my prompt back without saying anything...but '/etc/init.d/rsync status' then says it's not started, and 'ps waux | grep rsync' gives no output... [21:55] virtx: use ubuntu LTS ¿ [21:55] lts? [21:55] Kubuntu__ then it goes like this - sudo mkdir /media/winhd && mount /dev/sda1 /media/winhd - so you should get an icon on the desktop, letting you browse and copy easily [21:56] anybody no what i might be doing wrong? i put together good /etc/rsync.conf and /etc/rsync.secrets files... [21:56] napa: are you using ATI graphics? official drivers? [21:56] yaaar: 'pidof rsync' says something? [21:56] Kubuntu__ the mount will need sudo, too, i think [21:56] anyone know a good site to download ubuntu themees?> [21:56] Kubuntu__: Plug everything back in like you originally had it and boot to Linux and you should be able to fix it. [21:56] to change the whole bar colours etc [21:56] skapism: nope [21:56] Kubuntu__: You have this PC on the internet, right?

[21:57] nikkiclau: my card was detected [21:58] skapism: dmesg | grep rsync gives no output [21:58] is link aggregation broken in jaunty ? [21:58] acfrazier: dd_rescue does not mount anything. dd_rescue - copies data from one file (or block device) to another [21:58] napa: OK, did you install ccc? [21:58] napa, I think if you follow my suggestion the ccc will get working again - theres something weird with randr and ati driver [21:58] I'm trying to figure out which is the icon file that gnome-app-install uses??? Does anybody know?? I run alacarte but Add/Remove doesn't appear listed [21:58] usr13: I know, I output a ntfs partition to a file, how can I mount it, it's incomplete, so it returns errors [21:58] yaaar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [21:59] nztal: what is "link aggregation"?

[22:02] same :/ i mean, it is installed [22:02] can anyone suggest me the best flash plugin for firefox ? because i tried adobe-flashplugin and flashplugin-nonfree but i get some problems. The flash works but i cant get the content inside the flash [22:02] <_gama> anyone know anything about triple booting [22:03] _gama: It's no different from dual boot, just adding another OS. [22:03] _gama: booting three times in a row? === wolf is now known as Guest637 [22:03] <_gama> does there need to be multiple swap? [22:03] ;-) [22:03] juna: flashplugin-nonfree you work for you, it's the adobe one. [22:03] _gama, no [22:03] _gama: What do you need to know about it? [22:03] _gama: no [22:03] <_gama> so one swap is good [22:03] _gama: as long as it is always linux that you're trying to use.. [22:03] _gama: describe what you are doing [22:04] juna: should work*, I mean [22:04] _gama: Only if the first one is not enough. [22:04] skapism: thank you ? then what is the one saying adobe-flashplugin ? [22:04] juna: a wrapper / virtual package, I guess? [22:04] _gama: But doesn't hurt to have 2 swap partitions. [22:05] usr13: pointless if you're using the same system and using linux [22:05] usr13: takes precious hard drive space away ;-) [22:05] skapism: ok thank you. i just wanted to be sure because the adobe-flashplugin in synaptic is marked with the ubuntu logo [22:05] how can i get vlc to use one window again? since i installed 9.04 vlc launches 2 windows....one for the controls and one with the actual video [22:05] <_gama> i put ubuntu 9.04 then kubuntu 8.10 and i messed up 9.04 and tryed to reinstall 9 and it keeps installing the swap i made for kubuntu [22:05] alleykat: I'll try .. thanx [22:06] juna: what do you mean with "flash works, but cant get the content" - if it works, it works!? [22:06] Wicked: that's actually a vpn option, I believe, since jaunty has a newer version of it. look through the options [22:06] nikkiclau: Well, yes if one is enough, one is enough. And yes, one big one is better (in my opoinion and obviously yours too). [22:06] any news for Vaio Fn keys? I know it's an old problem did anyone found a solution? tnx [22:06] Wicked: vlc*, I mean [22:06] hi there [22:06] hmw: i am playing a game online that i can play the game but i cant see some options that the game has [22:07] Thanx alot I just finished installin google earth [22:07] I upgraded to 9.04 and when gnome starts, my mouse move by itself to the right top most corner. [22:07] alleykat: How do I shut down X ? :p [22:07] how can I fix it? [22:07] skapism, hmm i have and have not seen any option and from what ive read the version compiled info 9.04 is crippled(u cannot get it in one window) [22:07] though i could be wrong [22:07] _gama: You can use the same area over and over again, use only one swap partition. [22:07] juna: doesnt sound like a "bad flash plugin" to me. Pls give me ther URL [22:07] Wicked: I think it's a feature, not a bug. not sure. [22:07] _gama: do you know the size of the swap partition? [22:07] hello. where does the mounted samba share is mounted? i.e. where can I ls -alR from [22:07] <_gama> 4gb [22:07] napa, this thread explains it (I think, I just rebooted) -> http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 [22:08] <_gama> i got 2gb ram [22:08] _gama: They can both use the same swap partition, no problem, they will automatically. If it is there, it will be found and used. [22:08] _gama: then you have plenty of space, just use one swap partition. [22:08] napa, if it works, please spread the word further ;) === zach is now known as Guest42469 [22:08] hmw its a facebook game [22:08] seg: where you mount it :) [22:08] _gama: The installer will put a line in the /etc/fstab file for it and use it. [22:08] juna: hmm. I assume, you can use it normally with Windows? [22:09] alleykat: he's shy, or busy watching video on his CRT ;-) [22:09] skapism: it is on desktop, but in desktop dir it is not [22:09] anyone experiencing the mouse moving by itself to the topmost right corner of the screen when X is started?? [22:09] <_gama> im also wondering how to install 9.04 ubuntu with ext4 [22:09] hmw: yes. i have tried it in windows [22:09] arthurmaciel: I have had some bad mice if that's what you mean. ... [22:09] Wicked: jaunty uses 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1, intrepid 0.9.4-1ubuntu3.1. so that's quite a version leap. although they've been sleazy with the version bumping lately [22:09] juna: it could be connected to zoom status of the browser. Try CTRL+MouseWheel [22:09] _gama: There's an option for it. But I'm not sold on ext4 yet, (that's just me tho). [22:09] seg: how do you mean? [22:09] nikkiclau: it is not the mice(s). it just started when I upgraded to ubuntu 9.04 [22:10] arthurmaciel: every time you start X? [22:10] <_gama> it wont boot with grub 1.5 [22:10] nikkiclau: yes! [22:10] skapism: I mounted it with 'connect to server' and it is not like mount [22:10] skapism, yea. but i still think the one in 9.04 is not quite right. i at least cannot get it all in one window...which is what i prefer [22:10] <_gama> iv tryed to get grub2 installed and it wont boot [22:10] _gama: grub has already been updated to support ext4, I believe [22:11] arthurmaciel: what type of mouse you got? mousepad and/or normal laser? [22:11] nikkiclau: on login screem the cursor moves it self to the corner, when if I move the mouse (any of them - touchpad, optical) it goes back to the corner [22:11] nikkiclau, hehe yeah prolly :) I think one of the problems I had was that one of my DVI connectors (dvi>vga) has wrong number of pins, I'm using 2 completely alike monitors and it always messed up #2 badly [22:11] installing jaunty,,.. n ubiquity crashes!!!! [22:11] nikkiclau: touchpad and optical (lsar) [22:11] ciao raga [22:11] ho bisogno di aiuto [22:11] arthurmaciel: try reinstalling the synaptic driver ... [22:11] Wicked: trying using that mirror: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kow/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [22:11] hmw: ok i tried it. its not that. i am using flash player 10.0 r22 [22:11] Wicked: then update vlc [22:12] Wicked: sudo apt-get install vlc [22:12] hmw: thats what firefox says [22:12] nikkiclau: in fact I removed the synaptic and the mouse driver.. nothing changed [22:12] Wicked: try* [22:12] alleykat: ah, well, you ever read about the "hardware virus"? [22:12] :P [22:12] skapism, yea. i could try that though i avoid 3rd party repositories. [22:12] juna: how did you install flash? apt-get flashplugin-nonfree? [22:12] Wicked: it's on launchpad :) [22:12] arthurmaciel: how about connecting a new mouse to a new port on your computer? [22:12] hmw: from synaptic. [22:12] juna: but flashplugin-nonfree? [22:13] hmw: yes [22:13] Wicked: it has vlc 1.0.0, so there you go. [22:13] hey, Im using mod_probe ath_pci but the module isnt being loaded when I reboot [22:13] juna: i will ask google, maybe I can find something [22:13] modprobe* [22:13] <_gama> is there any major about ext4? [22:13] nikkiclau: I connect an wireless optical mouse to the usb and it follows the same movement [22:13] Wicked: will likely to enter karmic sooner or later anyway [22:13] skapism, and iisnt launchpad not supported and built by community users? [22:13] Hey guys... I have one heck of a problem... [22:13] ubiquity crashes while installing jaunty thru live cd!!! anyone?? [22:13] Wicked: yes [22:13] nikkiclau, I think I tried about 200 xorg.conf setups and it all ran miserably until I found that bug and killed randr12 [22:13] I managed to totally crash ubuntu by uninstalling two bad drivers. [22:13] axyelp: ubiquity ¿¿ [22:13] hmw: the strange thing is that i upgraded to 9.04 and it was ok. when i made some updates later it gave the problems [22:13] alleykat: hehe, must have been relieved [22:13] is there a way to stop Ubuntu from showing your drives on the desktop automatically or defining where they show up on the desktop? [22:13] Wicked: but you say your software is already broken. what else are you going to do, *not* use it? :) [22:13] <_gama> im not sure why there is no one using it when it sounds like this huge deal!?! [22:14] indeed, even did a complete reinstall [22:14] dan: gconf-editor> apps> nautilus> desktop [22:14] skapism, thats is an options. or hope and wait for ubuntu to isssue a fix [22:14] how to I re-install the OS? I can't figure out how to do so... [22:14] ubiquity,... ubuntu's live cd installer! [22:14] I need to wipe it out and re-install. [22:14] Wicked: if you're so inclined, mplayer is a great replacement [22:14] nikkiclau: on ubuntu I don't see any options to config the mouse on xorg.conf [22:14] _gama: the major thing is IMO ext partition with more than 2TB limit [22:14] xangua: let me check it out [22:14] juna: i see. The plugin hasnt been updated, if i remember correctly, so it will be something different. Can you boot the Ubuntu Live CD, then "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree", and check, if it happens with the liveCD, too? [22:15] arthurmaciel: which ubuntu version do you run? [22:15] xangua, ubiquity,... ubuntu's live cd installer! [22:15] Wicked: vlc has lost a lot of its quality in the latest releases. many bugs, in my experience at least, both ubuntu and other OSs [22:15] skapism, yea. i know. but i prefer vlc...i guess it isnt a huge issue...just annoying and i can deal untill there is a update. [22:15] nikkiclau: gotcha! rmmod(ed) the psmouse driver and it is perfect now [22:15] Wicked: you could always install the package from the ppa and revert back if you wanted. [22:15] arthurmaciel: grand! :D [22:15] hmw: i can try it [22:15] anyone? [22:15] hmw: by the way thank you [22:15] nikkiclau: how can I discover which package provides the psmouse driver? don't want it to be loaded at startup [22:16] juna: welcome to #ununtu! [22:16] <_gama> right on! thanks for the help im going to go and delete one of the swaps [22:16] Wicked: ie by deleting the ppa repository, and reinstalling vlc [22:16] hey [22:16] will mkdir automatically create the directory if it doesn't already exist? [22:16] problem with [22:16] ubuntu installation./update [22:16] yes homeskill [22:17] skapism, yea. i could also get the vlc source and patch it myself.....same as the one in ppa [22:17] homeskill: mkdir creates a directory, yes [22:17] xangua: I see it. How about a way to have the drives appear differently, Like along the top instead of along the left hand side? [22:17] nikkiclau: but critically, psmouse is needed to run the touchpad! :-/ without it only the optical usb wireless mouse works... that's a sad thing [22:17] Wicked: better to keep to deb so long as you can [22:17] arthurmaciel: in console, grep psmouse /etc/modules [22:17] skapism, i could build my own [22:17] Wicked: why would you want to do that if someone already did it for you? [22:17] has anyone encountered ubiquity crashes while installing jaunty??? [22:17] Wicked: the version in the ppa is likely patched. it's rather new [22:18] problem with the updates [22:18] Hey guys i have a quick question... Ubuntu won't install citing some filesystem error, and the disk does not show up in gparted. When I try to do a filesystem check I get the following at the end :Block 0 in primary superblock/group descriptor area bad. [22:18] Blocks 0 through 2 must be good in order to build a filesystem. [22:18] Aborting.... [22:18] is it possible to install on a software raid using the livecd? [22:18] arthurmaciel: perhaps psmouse is loaded by X, did you try to update the driver? [22:18] nikkiclau: I'm running ubuntu 9.04 with the most update packages [22:18] lundh: yes it's possible, but you'll have to dive into the command line [22:19] lundh: I can explain in outline if you want [22:19] Hi all [22:19] arthurmaciel: can you modprobe psmouse for me and see if the mouse goes bonkers again? [22:20] blizzkid: thanks! [22:20] anyone ever hear of a pulseaudio CLIENT for windows ?? [22:20] Hey guys i have a quick question... Ubuntu won't install citing some filesystem error, and the disk does not show up in gparted. When I try to do a filesystem check I get the following at the end :Block 0 in primary superblock/group descriptor area bad. [22:20] Blocks 0 through 2 must be good in order to build a filesystem. [22:20] Aborting.... [22:20] hi everyone [22:20] majnoon: pulsoaudio is crossplatform, I believe [22:20] Hey guys. I'm having problems with fullscreen flash. The frame rate is extremely low -- I estimate no more than 5ps. In windowed mode it works okay. This has only started happening recently, i.e. last week or so. Anything I could try? [22:20] lundh: basically what you'll have to do is create partitions and assign them the correct type using fdisk [22:20] been looking at instructions BIG pain [22:20] blizzkid: I already have a software raid setup in arch, I want to keep it intact when i migrate to kubuntu [22:20] i would need some help on the wireless [22:21] nikkiclau: yes... just after loading the module the mouse moves to the corner [22:21] arthurmaciel: better yet, what is your BIOS setting for USB legacy? [22:21] lundh: I see, not sure if that will work though, as it's a *software* raid [22:21] i disabled the wireless through right click on the network applet and now it's just GONE [22:21] finally got pulseaudio to work semi right [22:21] no wireless in windows nor in linux [22:21] in linux [22:21] lundh: I'd start from scratch [22:21] \msg nickserv register [22:22] it's like my computer doesn't even have a wireless card [22:22] oops [22:22] it doesn't appear anywhere [22:22] majnoon: pulseaudio is still ubuntu's biggest problem, imo. [22:22] blizzkid: cant, I have data on it that I need but anyway. it is possble. I have done int between other distributions before [22:22] nikkiclau: have no idea. Can see it at setup? Should I change it to something? [22:22] jnbptst: might sound stupid, but does your laptop has a hardware wifi switch? (lots of Dell models do) [22:22] arthurmaciel: I've read on the interwibble that some bioses do a bad transition from USB (your mousepad) -> PS/2 resulting in unexplained consequences [22:22] blizzkid: yes, it's on [22:22] arthurmaciel: yes, if it is enabled, try to disable it. [22:22] lundh: like I said "not sure" ;) [22:22] how do you make vimdiff work on ubuntu? [22:23] BCMM: it should work just fine. what's wrong? [22:23] arthurmaciel: this is called 'usb legacy mode'. [22:23] blizzkid: ok, Iäll try myself then :) [22:23] nikkiclau: but strange is that is only happened rarely on ubuntu 8.04 ou 8.10 [22:23] how do I add modules? [22:23] it's so weird, it's like the wireless card is SO disabled that it doesn't appear in any network tool that I have, even as disabled -- it's just not there [22:23] jnbptst: pastebin me the output of iwconfig and lspci -v please [22:23] dayo, "this vim was not compiled with the diff feature" [22:23] nikkiclau: just upgraded and then after sometime it started. [22:23] What is the state of play with the current 64-bit distro? Is it ready for daily use? Haven't tried since dapper... === danorsk is now known as danorsk[afk] [22:24] BCMM: did u install vim-full, or are u using default vim? ubuntu comes with a trimmed down version, by default. [22:24] nikkiclau: curiously it did not start at the same time as of upgrade... hmm... really seems a BIOS problem. I'll check it. Thanks! [22:24] dayo, i don't know, how do you install a full vim? [22:24] arthurmaciel: well, if you try to disable this, it may work .. but if it doesn't, then maybe it is a problem with your mouse [22:24] is there anyone who could help me ? [22:24] BCMM: sudo aptitude install vim-full [22:24] dayo, thanks [22:24] arthurmaciel: that is, the trackpad is "pressed" all the time (faulty hardware) [22:24] BCMM: vimdiff should work just fine after that. [22:24] BCMM: u're welcome :-) [22:25] nikkiclau: thanks! [22:25] folks? [22:25] arthurmaciel: you're very welcome :-) === dfr|work is now known as dfr|vegas === dfr|vegas is now known as dfr|work [22:25] !ask | amnesiauk [22:25] amnesiauk: 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. :-) [22:25] dayo; may I bother you? [22:25] ahh okay sorry... [22:25] amnesiauk: go ahead [22:25] is the 9.x version bug free [22:26] well I just installed ubuntu on my new laptop(samsung r505\ [22:26] but it doesn't receive an ip adress [22:26] amnesiauk: Wireless or wired?

[22:27] amnesiauk: pastebin the error [22:27] no internet:p [22:27] on that computer [22:27] google even has their chrome ported to linux now dont they? [22:27] ahh well I'll type it over:p [22:27] nikkiclau: oh, i did not realize that gdsearch was available for linux. it did not used to be [22:28] Dr_Willis: last time i tried (dapper) there was a fair bit of chrooting required to get things working smoothly. Is this still the case? [22:28] yes they do dr_willis [22:28] amnesiauk: I've seen this on some broadcom wired cards .. windows "shuts them off" and "starts them again", causing linux to not be able to use the card ... [22:28] i have ubuntu 9.04 (with gnome) what do i do to give me the option to boot into KDE without having to reinstall everything? i want it run like Kubuntu, not just ubuntu w/ KDE slapped on top [22:28] ewwww, broadcom [22:28] mcphail: ive had no issues whatso ever with 64bit under 9.04 - i dont even notice i am using 64bit.. (well ffmpeg runs faster. :P ) [22:28] mcphail: and how long ago was dapper? :) [22:28] onthefence928: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [22:28] seg: yeah .. i know, I followed this a bit some time ago, and if i remember correctly, they have GD for linux aswell now [22:29] onthefence928: then log out, and choose sessions and choose KDE. [22:29] onthefence928: kubuntu *is* ubuntu with KDE slapped on top [22:29] coleys thnx [22:29] it isnt a broadcom [22:29] dayo: yes, I know what youmean ;-) [22:29] google desktop, and gadgets, and chrome oh my! [22:29] Dr_Willis: :). I've simply upgraded since then, but looking to do full reinstall this time [22:29] does anybody know why mysql was linked against yassl instead of openssl? [22:29] amnesiauk: can you pastebin a lspci for us? [22:29] mcphail: i never upgrade. :) i alwya sdo clean installs.. much.. easier. [22:29] okay [22:29] nikkiclau: i use gnome+xmonad, myself [22:29] dayo: i just figure there are some settings that Kubuntu may have that regular KDE doens't [22:29] well [22:30] dayo: gnonad ? that sounds dirty. :) [22:30] and i know that when i use fluxbox not everything works properly [22:30] nikkiclau, ethernet controller: marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 4380 [22:30] Dr_Willis: gnonad. i'll remember that. lol [22:30] hello [22:30] dayo: nice .. :) [22:30] hihi [22:30] hi* [22:31] Dr_Willis: do 32 bit binaries from outwith the repos run transparently now? [22:31] dayo: years ago I used WindowMaker, stable as a rock and ultra-fast .. [22:31] any use to you guys? [22:31] mcphail: i dont know :) as far as i can tell they do.. im not sure what i got that even is 32bit. its been totally a no-brainer-no-problems [22:31] dayo: plus, noone knew how to use it except me so I could leave the computer without harm :) [22:31] onthefence928: well, i guess u could either reinstall kubuntu, or just sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop, which is the same a reinstall+gnomeStillThere [22:31] Where do I find a solution (if any) for a bug from the bug list? [22:32] amnesiauk: marvell ... lemme google that for yah [22:32] Dr_Willis: excellent! I'll torrent the 64bit live disk and give it a spin [22:32] amnesiauk: ive had issues with 'marvell' nics under linux in the past. :() [22:32] crap [22:32] dayo it'm doing the KDE+Gnome route so i can compare side by side [22:32] nikkiclau: heh, same here. our systems admin is notoriously kde-minded. won't let me install xmonad on our lab desktops [22:32] so it might not be supported:S? [22:32] amnesiauk: not sure what the deal was or if it was just specific ones, but this pc and its built in NIC was giveing me some big issues for a long time. [22:32] onthefence928: sounds reasonable [22:32] uh [22:32] amnesiauk: i ended up putting in a cheap gigiabit card. [22:32] dayo: at least he's not running only windows like in my environment ;-) [22:32] crap:'( [22:32] hmw: Can you repeat the mount command for the windows disk? [22:32] it's a laptop [22:33] amnesiauk: bummer. [22:33] amnesiauk: Dell 1500ish? [22:33] nope [22:33] where can I download jeos for jaunty? [22:33] screw dell [22:33] samsung r505 [22:33] nikkiclau: good God, no. we have one tiny lab that's only windows. but the rest of the university is ubuntuland [22:33] amnesiauk: check the output of 'dmesg' as its running. i got tons of 'messages' in there about the nic on my flakey box. [22:33] Kubuntu__ sudo mkdir /media/mysidk && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/mydisk [22:33] dayo: happy country .. :) [22:33] !jeos [22:33] JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System. It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information. [22:33] now i just need to figure out why it won't let me turn the extra desktop affects to max anymore? [22:33] Kubuntu__ wathc out TYPO [22:33] nikkiclau: it sure is :-) [22:34] Kubuntu__ sudo mkdir /media/mydisk && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/mydisk [22:34] hmw: caught it. [22:34] Dr_Willis: that does not have a jaunty.. just 8.04 [22:34] should I look for eth0 at dmesg? [22:34] Where do I find a solution (if any) for a bug from the bug list? [22:34] amnesiauk: sure, just use grep [22:35] how can I do a very minimal install? without any GUI packages? no gnome etc... [22:35] !minimal > nickrud [22:35] nickrud, please see my private message [22:35] elena09: try "google solution". Bugs in those lists tend to be unsolved, so you could repair it on your own ;-) [22:35] !minimal > hanasaki [22:35] hanasaki, please see my private message [22:35] hello [22:35] hanasaki: Alternate CD? [22:36] alternate still gets you a gui [22:36] sky2 eth0: addr = XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX [22:36] enabling interface [22:36] server won't, but minimal is even smaller [22:36] you can use the server cd iirc [22:36] but you have to set the install as minimal [22:36] link is up at 100mbps, full duplex, flow control both [22:36] nickrud: really? mine doesn't :-/ [22:36] nickrud: thanks... so when to use alternate vs miniaml? [22:36] hmw: I saw some were fixed but I forgot the link of Ubuntu solved bug list [22:36] dayo, jaunty alternate cd? Are you sure you're not thinking server cd? [22:37] i have a doubt in python [22:37] hanasaki: alternative was good for a LTSP server install for instance [22:37] !minimal > dayo [22:37] dayo, please see my private message [22:37] amnesiauk: do you know, how your network is configured? i.e. do you know, what IP settings would be OK? [22:37] yup [22:37] hanasaki, minimal is for when you want even less than generic server setup :) [22:37] nickrud: hardy's alt. used it to install my servers last year. [22:37] amnesiauk: then start with manually assigning IP address: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 and then try pinging the DHCP server [22:37] okay [22:38] amnesiauk: of course you need to assign a valid IP [22:38] uhu I know:) [22:38] dayo, I've always used alternate cd's to install, habit since I had issues with really early desktops on a particular machine. They always had guis ... [22:38] nickrud: yes, but not by default. u would have to sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop, post-install [22:39] hmw [22:39] Whenever I download a file from the Internet it's on my desktop. I downloaded many installation files. Where shoud they be downloaded and how could I do that? [22:39] siocsifaddr: No buffer space available [22:39] #ubuntu-es [22:39] amnesiauk: sounds like a bad driver/card [22:39] does anybody know a good, simple file only sqlite other than sqlite or embedded mysql? [22:39] dayo, I"m sure you're confusing the server cd and the alternate cd [22:39] :'( [22:39] anyone know how to uninstall kde3? [22:39] elena09: i usually keep downloaded files somewhere in my install collection dir. Its up to your taste [22:39] what can I do ;bout it? [22:40] amnesiauk: perhaps if you try to downgrade / upgrade the kernel? [22:40] (I'm new in linux ) [22:40] nickrud: hmmm [22:40] amnesiauk: can you ping the DHCP machine? [22:40] amnesiauk: ah .. [22:40] hmw: no, no buffer space .. [22:40] Where is that install colection dir? [22:40] nope [22:40] it states the networks unreachable [22:40] s/only sqlite/only database/ === macman is now known as macman_ [22:41] nikkiclau: you talk about amnesiauk? [22:41] elena09: using firefox to download? [22:41] hmw: yes [22:41] my nic... [22:41] elena09: you can download files to wherever you feel comfortable. Are you trying to install new software? [22:41] neoTheCat: berckleydb ? tokyo cabinet? [22:41] hmw:Where is that install colection dir? [22:41] nikkiclau: looks like a damaged NIC or bad driver [22:41] elena09: on my windows box, D:\installs [22:41] yes mcphail [22:41] how could I install another driver on linux? [22:41] hmw: yup .. [22:41] elena09: have you tried the ubuntu repositories first? [22:41] what file (it's no longer xorg.com) can I see what my mouse is set up as? [22:41] erUSUL: berkelydb is not sql, but i never heard of tokyo cabinet, i'll check that one out. thanks. [22:42] I don't have any windows, I thought we were on Ubuntu [22:42] dayo, compare http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.list, http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.list and http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ubuntu-9.04-server-i386.list [22:42] amnesiauk: can you tell me again the vendor and version of the nic? [22:42] well marvell and the device id is 4380 [22:42] elena09: i meant, you *could* keep them somewhere safe. You could create a dir in your home dir, or just make a Download folder on your desktop. There is no place, where to "collect" downloaded install programs [22:42] can ANYONE help me rid my system of KDE3? [22:42] und3rgr0undz3r0: sudo apt-get purge kde [22:42] hi there - is it possible to select text from the TTY without having to use the mouse? and how about paste without using the mouse [22:43] I need the commands for the terminal to download a file somewhere and then to run it [22:43] nikkiclau, will that also kill kde4? [22:43] !puregnome | und3rgr0undz3r0 [22:43] und3rgr0undz3r0: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » [22:43] tommi69: in bash it is posible to copy and paste... [22:43] und3rgr0undz3r0: pobably .. [22:43] elena09: but synaptic and apt keep their .deb files somewhere. I wouldnt put my manually downloaded things there, because I normally have a reason, why I manually downloaded it. Therefore, i prefer to keep my downloaded isntalls in SOME collection directory. [22:43] s/pobably/probably [22:43] nikkiclau, thanks [22:43] what file (it's no longer xorg.com) can I see what my mouse is set up as? (running ubuntu) [22:43] erUSUL: do you know where i can find info on that? shift+arrows doesn't highlight words [22:43] hmw: thanks, Copying all 80GB now..this is going to take all night -sigh- [22:44] hi all, can someone take a look at a problem I explained on the forums? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7213788 [22:44] elena09: /var/cache/apt/archives [22:44] hi guis [22:44] ok, but after that, how can I make it possible that all downloaded files go there? [22:44] nikkiclau amnesiauk - bad drivers are very unlikely for NIC adaptors. How can we track the problem down? what was it about buffers? [22:44] amnesiauk: can you do 'uname -a' for me and paste the output? [22:44] how dowload videos [22:44] elena09, that's not a good place to download files [22:44] anyone have any experience with setting up an ubuntu DHCP server? [22:45] okay [22:45] kxjcbgñkjasdbfnhsf [22:45] gjh [22:45] sfbgyhdfygcubjn b [22:45] hgjr [22:45] tyvjdrfynjb d [22:45] yftvucfghxfyujv [22:45] hmw: works in windows iirc ...

[22:45] tommi69: it uses emacs combos... crtl + space marks the begining of the selection then you move to the other end and do Alt + w to copy... crtl + y pastes [22:45] hmw: it said there wasnt any buffer space available [22:45] ^^ lol [22:45] i really hate it [22:45] tommi69: you can configure it to use vi combos [22:45] amnesiauk: it worked in windows, right? [22:45] amnesiauk: what exactly was that "it"? [22:45] what place is not good? [22:45] erUSUL: that would rule, i'll look into that thanks a lot [22:45] elena09, you'd be better off making a dir ~/Downloads and putting stuff there [22:45] Hi, I just dualboot installed ubuntu with Vista, can someone tell me how to set Vista as the default boot option? [22:45] sorry? [22:45] elena09: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [22:45] sorry [22:46] tommi69: look into configure readline library [22:46] hmw how'd you mean? [22:46] is there a way to disable the new notification system? i REALLY hate it! [22:46] ;) [22:46] !notification [22:46] elena09, /var/cache/apt/archives is a system file place, not a normal user dir [22:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about notification [22:46] hola [22:46] amnesiauk: what do you have to do, to get that error message? is it in dmesg, syslog, or when doing ifconfig, ... [22:46] nickrud: on the Alt link u posted, ubuntu-desktop is listed: /pool/main/u/ubuntu-meta/ubuntu-desktop_1.140_i386.deb [22:46] anyone have any experience with setting up an ubuntu DHCP server? [22:46] elena09: you should store anything you download in a directory under your home directory. ~/Downloads is a good idea [22:46] amnesiauk hmw : I suggest checking for a hardware ghost .... amnesiauk, can you swap out the LAN cable for some cable you know works (in a different port in the router) [22:46] SFauconnier: done it a few times. how can i help? [22:46] dayo, yep, and it's loaded during install [22:47] eeehm [22:47] elena09: apt and synaptics store their .deb files in /var/..., but I also recommend to use ~/Downloads for manually downloaded stuff [22:47] Pure Chaos when it comes upw with the boot menu u should be able to press an option and change it [22:47] nickrud: odd. mine install just the CLI. [22:47] the cable's fine [22:47] since I've aleady done that [22:47] by pressing a F key possible....

[23:00] wtv not all packages are on the cd, , for example the nvidia restricted drivers need to be downloaded from a repository [23:00] /whisper whiter that would be a good place to start. you can try loading amarok as it requests some codecs. you can also install the restricted package for your ubuntu-type [23:00] smirk [23:00] erUSUL: i launched nexuiz the .deb auto-installing package, it says nexuiz-data dependency's missing, could u help? [23:00] amnesiauk: due to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970086 this is a harmless warning (sd update) [23:00] hda-intel: Invalid position buffer using LPIB read method instead [23:00] zer0o: install nexuiz-data first then the other [23:01] isn't that just the sd card reader? [23:01] so the CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE shortcut was removed in Jaunty? How do I get it back? [23:01] hi all [23:01] amnesiauk: did that message show up, when grepping for eth? [23:01] /whiter google ubuntu medibuntu and follow those instructions. [23:01] MiscDebris: i dont know what you mean, i followed the instructions for mediaubuntu and installed libdvdcss2 [23:01] !dontzap | mercutio22 [23:01] amnesiauk: no, that's the driver for scsi disks (read SATA) [23:01] mercutio22: 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. [23:01] btw how come ctrl-alt-backspace (kill x) doesn't work in jaunty anymore? is there something special i need to do to kill x now? [23:01] it also sates: sky2 eth0: link is up at 100mbps full duplex flow control both [23:01] mercutio22: google for jaunty dontzapp [23:01] mercutio22: you need to add a few lines to your xorg.conf file [23:01] oh okay [23:01] !dontzap | mibbim [23:01] mibbim: 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. [23:01] hmw, yes it did [23:02] hmw, I grepped for eth0 [23:02] erUSUL: as i already said ive downloaded nexuiz-data also and tried to install it but it says the other package "nexuiz" is missing.... [23:02] brb whiter [23:02] Thanks dodes [23:02] amnesiauk: Do you know how to upgrade ubuntu with a CD? [23:02] ehm [23:02] mercutio22 heres the lines, Section "ServerFlags" [23:02] Option "DontZap" "off" [23:02] EndSection [23:02] erUSUL: excellent. thanks. time to kill some x :) [23:02] nope:p [23:03] I'll crap a usb stick:p [23:03] amnesiauk: well, usb stick works also .. [23:03] so I should try 9.04? === mrigns is now known as AntORG [23:03] does anyone here know how to disable ipv6 for faster internet? if not ill share how? [23:03] koshari> should I say DontZap on? [23:03] amnesiauk: yes .. [23:03] okay [23:03] 9.04 is unstable imho. [23:03] amnesiauk: you don't have to use cisco VPN do you? [23:03] nope [23:03] Adyeths: only if you use vpnc [23:03] amnesiauk: ok [23:03] Adyeths: how do you come to that impression? [23:03] and if that doesn't fix it? does that mean my nic isn't supported:(? [23:04] I've been fighting with it ever since installing it. [23:04] I'm having a bit of an issue with gnome-panel on 9.04 unr, if anyone knows about something similar [23:04] need help i installed ubuntu but at the login screen there is no keyboard input: I went into the console and typed: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-inut-all and it tells me package not found. [23:04] yo yo yo [23:04] amnesiauk: no, might be something that's wrong with the driver settings .. [23:04] hey [23:04] I locks up on me randomly. [23:04] mkay [23:04] well okay I'll install it now [23:04] wait a sec [23:04] G-Robert: did you md5 check the iso you used to burn the install cd with? Which iso did you download? [23:04] whiter: run amarok. it will suggest additional packages to install. [23:05] MiscDebris, alrighty [23:05] Adyeths: must be a certain driver or hardware bug. Jaunty is stable for many people, i know. Too bad. [23:05] anyone here use Kontact? [23:05] Adyeths: if you want stability, debian's known for being rock stable for years on end [23:05] oh wait, totem now works, as well as mplayer [23:05] but VLC wont [23:05] hmm [23:05] !anyone | MiscDebris [23:05] MiscDebris: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:05] I wish I could find out what the problem is and fix it. [23:05] I upgrade from 8.10 to 9.4, the computer freezes while it is trying to start a gui session, what should i od [23:05] noob question: how do i get a list of switches in console [23:05] Adyeths: how'd you upgrade? from what version? [23:05] been having this issue since 8.10 ... should have just stuck with 8.04 which was rock solid. [23:05] hoymkot: if you create a new user, does it lock up with that user too? [23:06] RoosterJuice: please explain further [23:06] I installed 9.04 cleanly. reformatted the partition. [23:06] from 8.10 , using the auto update [23:06] Adyeths: did you use the same home directory? [23:06] Adyeths: you could unplug as much hardware as possible (including second and third RAM modules) and look, if you still get lockups. Then replugging piece by piece until troubles come back. [23:06] I kept my home directory intact since I didn't want to lose anything. [23:06] nikkiclau, i would like to know how to see arguements for a command... IE user -?? [23:07] Adyeths: try creating a new user and see if it locks up on you then [23:07] nikiclau, i use the automatic update [23:07] i guess they are called options [23:07] Kontact's calendar is screwing up dates from an import of a calendar directory from 3.5.9. How it screws up depends on which view I use. [23:07] helo brothers need issue with this i want if i press alt +ccontol+f1 and then press alt+control +f7 require password to display GUI mode how ? [23:07] RoosterJuice: command --useage ? [23:07] RoosterJuice: generally programs have --help switches [23:07] Mainly, it either moves an appointment or just flat out doesn't display it. [23:07] RoosterJuice: or even -h or -? [23:07] nikiclau, i can get into the recovery mode. [23:07] thanks for the suggestion. I will try that. [23:07] and use the console to do something [23:07] whiter: so it's working now then? [23:08] nikkiclau, ok a better question is how do i change the password for the root user [23:08] !noroot > RoosterJuice [23:08] RoosterJuice, please see my private message [23:08] Adyeths: you're welcome [23:08] so, can i downgrade to 8.10 === eugen_ is now known as Guest38506 [23:08] RoosterJuice: sudo passwd [23:08] RoosterJuice: you're not supposed to have a root password, you're supposed to use sudo when you need root privilages [23:08] !downgrade | hoymkot [23:08] hoymkot: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [23:08] hey how do I install kde 3.5.x ? all I have is kde 4, but I can't get any of the old programs like adept_manager ect.. [23:09] hoymkot: to downgrade you will need a clean install [23:09] helo brothers need issue with this i want if i press alt +ccontol+f1 and then press alt+control +f7 require password to display GUI mode how ? [23:09] nikkiclau, ok how do i change a password for a user [23:09] hoymkot: this sounds like a video driver issue .. what type of graphics card do you use? [23:09] ubottu, so what should i do [23:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:09] RoosterJuice: either install pam_usb (your flash disk replaces password typing) or use sudo to become root (read man page). [23:09] RoosterJuice: type passwd [23:09] RoosterJuice: as the user type passwd [23:09] RoosterJuice: as root, type passwd username [23:09] Ok, where can I go to find answers about kontact? [23:09] hey guys! what is the best way to install Counter-Strike under ubuntu? when you dont have windows as dual boot, so that you cannot use wine [23:10] progre55: why can't you use wine? [23:10] RoosterJuice: there is no need to give root a password, look up sudo instead. [23:10] does anyone know the mactel support channel? [23:10] progre55: wine doesnt need a windows system to be installed to use it [23:10] progre55: check out playonlinux [23:10] nikkiclau, it should be an integate intel video card [23:10] Is there any working backup solution for jaunty on ext4? partimage won't cut it (no ext4 support), and the usual suspects like the sysrescd or partedmagic won't assemble my mdadm raid1... any pointers? [23:10] neskat, I mean, cant use it to play directly from windows ) [23:10] nikiclau, like the one that go with the motherboard [23:10] progre55: install wine [23:10] progre55: you will need to use wine with the steam installer to install cs [23:11] does anyone know the mactel support channel? [23:11] progre55: do you think wine needs to be installed on a system that has windows on it as well? [23:11] neskat, actually, I do have wine, what I meant was.. well, forget :) so, I should install CS with wine? [23:11] is there a way to install kde 3.5.x ?? the Ubuntu I have only has kde 4.0 [23:11] !appdb | progre55 [23:11] progre55: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [23:11] Is there any way to use SCIM or something similar to for math symbols? For example, so I can change to the proper input method and simply type r^{2} and will replace it with r², or something like %lambda for λ for example. ?? [23:11] progre55, http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ [23:11] I'm looking at doing a fresh install but I don't want to lose all of my SSH bookmarks and their corresponding logins/passwords. What files do I have to copy over? [23:11] hoymkot: hmm .. do you get any error messages on the screen? [23:11] ActionParsnip, no of course :) what I ment was different :) [23:11] On the powerpc kernel is able to run i386 binaries? [23:11] AntORG, thanks man [23:12] Omoikane__: /home [23:12] i donwloaded 8.04 off the website? === travisat_ is now known as flaarg [23:12] Omoikane__: how do you ssh? You cana copy ~/.ssh to copy your keys over [23:12] hello: any body knows how to create new "text files" with dolphin and made them work with Windows EndOfFile format ? [23:12] progre55, it's using wine, but it makes the installation a whole lot easier with a special interface to install popular apps [23:12] nikiclau, nope, it just freeze, there is only a weird picture [23:12] ActionParsnip, it's just, I used to have CS installed on windows, and used wine to directly play it.. [23:12] mOmoikane__ for ssh ~/.ssh/ should be enough [23:13] AntORG, cool, I'll check it out now [23:13] hi all, anyone had troubles of spontsious rebooting? [23:13] progre55: ive never done it that way, i'd imagine you'd have to cleanly install it into your wine virtual dir [23:13] batte: only because of overheating [23:13] helo brothers need issue with this i want if i press alt +ccontol+f1 and then press alt+control +f7 require password to display GUI mode how ? [23:13] i cant get my track pad to read the synaptic file [23:13] batte: use the memtest in the grub menu [23:13] batte: sounds like hardware trouble... check that your cpu fan still works [23:13] nikkiclau don't want to copy the entire home folder over. Which files in /home? [23:13] desmond_: track pads can't read, you should be more specific as to what you are doing [23:14] hoymkot: do you have many monitors connected? [23:14] my audio volume media keys change the volume in steps that are too large, is that fixable? [23:14] ill monitor temp, you can be right [23:14] batte: boot into the bios and watch your CPU temperature [23:14] people, On the powerpc kernel is able to run i386 binaries? [23:14] progre55: i think, CS is portable. if so, cd /path/to/windows/CS and call the .exe with wine [23:14] hmw, when I try to install ubuntu 9.04, I get sofreset failed (device not ready) [23:14] hi [23:14] hmw, and then I can type after (initramfs) _ [23:14] neskat ok [23:14] Omoikane__: it usually always depends on the programs ... if you use pure ssh, then ~/.ssh/ works for you .. [23:14] progre55: what hmw said, if it doesnt run you will need to install it, the guys in #wine may be able to advise [23:14] how can you list what is running? aka, tasks etc. i can't seem to remember for the life of me. [23:14] I've had an e2fsck running for over 24 hours on a 500gb external sata/usb drive, is this bad? [23:14] nikkiclau, check what I told hmw:p [23:14] quickdraw1: top [23:14] KernelX: pretty sure it isn't [23:14] jrib: i can change the optsions in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi [23:14] KernelX: no... no universal binaries on Linux :-\ [23:15] KernelX: I'd ask for a seconf opinion though [23:15] nikkiclau that will save my logins and passwords? [23:15] nikkiclau, I have only one monitor, it is a dell dimension e310. [23:15] jrib: but it doesnt change. and when i run /usr/src/bcm5974-1.1.1/scripts/bcm5974-diagnostics it spits out [23:15] quickdraw1: also, ps -ef [23:15] Omoikane__: what do you use when you ssh into somehting? putty?

[23:17] hoymkot: if you cna get your computer into runlevel 3 then ssh should be open if you have openssh-server [23:17] G-Robert: you calculate the md5sum of the iso you downloaded and make sure they match. Why did you not check it before you burned and DEFINATELY BEFORE YOU INSTALLED [23:17] neshaug: I installed libdvdscss or whatever from medibuntu rpos [23:17] sorry noob i have no idea what that means [23:17] can anyone help w firefox and flash?

[23:18] and how to i check the checksum matches? [23:18] ActionParsnip: what I never understood: I usually download/dont check/burn/install successfully, never had problems with isos. Guess I was lucky. But my question is: how can a http-download get corrupted, when we have failure correction in TCP? [23:18] nikkiclau, haven't got an empty disc:/ [23:18] is it possible to get skype for ubuntu 9.04?

[23:19] G-Robert: md5 sums give a signature of how the file SHOULD look, if the code in the sum, does not match your calculated sum, the file is bad and should be deleted and re-downloaded [23:19] on that link [23:19] amnesiauk: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading ... you don't have to boot into install if you don't want to ..

[23:23] sudo [23:23] nope [23:23] apt get install [23:23] i never knew about this checksum stuff im going to wiki it [23:23] ok [23:24] heguru? [23:24] so just type alsamixer [23:24] but anyway. any other idea what might be wrong [23:24] ? [23:24] mib_szoon7: yes [23:24] I just installed "git-svn" via "apt-get install git-svn" and it says it's installed. But it says "git-svn: command not found" even though it is installed in /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn -- how do I make it so I can just type git-svn ? [23:24] rafael: ask your question please [23:24] how do I install kde 3.5 on ubuntu 8.10 [23:24] Paddy_EIRE, Yea I always forget to install this restricted-extras package but when totem goes to search, it should install it via gui imho. Ubuntu always has the crappiest defaults [23:24] nikkiclau, what about [ ] ubuntu-9.04-netbook-remix-i386.img 21-Apr-2009 03:31 947M UNR USB image for PC (Intel x86) computers (USB image) [23:24] oh nice it worked. thanks [23:24] G-Robert: its good to know. You need to check the burned disk, if that is ok, try some boot options [23:24] calvin_: the restricted extras package does not cover dvd playback [23:24] oh...i was saying that the link provided only works for ubuntu 8.10 and under [23:24] !bootoption | G-Robert [23:24] G-Robert: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [23:24] Travis-42: tey git svn [23:24] Travis-42: *try [23:24] !medibuntu | calvin_ [23:24] calvin_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:25] but i have 9.04 [23:25] Paddy_EIRE, Then what does it cover? [23:25] Travis-42: symlink that to /usr/bin ... it's not in your path [23:25] calvin_: many other packages just not dvd [23:25] afternoon everyone... [23:25] lstarnes: heh ah. All the tutorials I've seen use "git-svn" to load it, thanks. [23:25] HOW DO I FIND OUT THE VERSION OF UBUNTU THAT I HAVE, AND HOW DO I INSTALL KDE 3.5.X ON IT ?

[23:26] dylan_: there may be a kde3-desktop package [23:26] h00k: that sounds bad. Did it say something like "i repair this and that" a million times?

I would wipe the drive and do a fresh format, then a surface scan.

[23:27] amnesiauk: btw, in the late 1990's (when I started using linux), it took me over a month to get my first linux installation working with internet .. === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [23:27] Can anyone tell me if I should have my sata drives set to sata raid function?

[23:29] Crash1hd: usually this only delays booting. if you want to raid your disks you can do that with the linux native mdadm tool [23:29] h0k basically says to apt-get install adobe-flashplugin...i had done that ..no luck [23:29] Paddy_EIRE, Well whatever I installed it's working now. Thanks for the help [23:29] h00k: google that error message [23:29] hmw: alright, I'll give that a shot. thanks. Also, I did google it, it said to fsck on it. [23:29] i got home from work, my notebook [having been running all day] is not responding on the VT for X, ctrl+alt+f1 took about 10 minutes to switch over and is being very slow to respond. I see a message of [timestamp] eth1 (WE) : Wireless Event too big (342). any ideas whats going on here or what thiss message explicitly means? [23:30] ActionParsnip, isn't amarok the mp3 software? [23:30] h00k basically says to apt-get install adobe plugin..which i had done already..no luck [23:30] stefg: if I am only using them as ide drives then turn that off? [23:30] rafael: did you restart firefox? [23:30] i did.. [23:30] in fact uninstalled [23:30] TX-Dan: yes but it has an xul remote control that can control what the system plays out of its own soundcard via xul enabled browser or android phone :) [23:30] how can i do a complete uninstall of firefox, so that i can start from scratch with it? [23:31] h00k i did..in fact uninstalled [23:31] rafael: which browser are you using? [23:31] Hello. I am getting "Bus Error" when I try and start amarok. Any ideas as to how to fix it? [23:31] i just installed xubuntu do i have to tell it to use it or will it work automatically? [23:31] h00k firefox 3 [23:31] any fluxbox users? I'd like to disable/hide the slit and toolbar, how do I do that? [23:31] rafael: in fact uninstalled what? [23:31] nikkiclau, should i restart my computer or reinstall those package after removal? [23:31] hoymkot: uhmm .. can you do a sudo grep ERR /var/log/Xorg.0.log for me? [23:32] andthenIwaslike: i use it but never done that, ask in #fluxbox is my recommendation [23:32] my ex gf is using slackware. does ubuntu make me a sissy? [23:32] ActionParsnip, I've got the "Remote" app that controls my itunes library on my mac through my iPod... so i'm set in that arena... i'll go see if it has any other handy features ;) [23:32] hoymkot: just pastebin the results if they are more than one line [23:32] h00k..i restarted firefox...then when it didnt work..uninstalled it..then reinstalled it..no good [23:32] hmw: this is my dmesg, notice the problems at the bottom: http://pastebin.com/d10511920 [23:32] ActionParsnip: no one is answering [23:32] Hello. I am getting "Bus Error" when I try and start amarok. Any ideas as to how to fix it? I also get it with VLC [23:32] Crash1hd: yup.... usually enabling chipset raid functions tries to load additional firmware at boot-time.... since the CPU is doing the work anyway you can as well use mdadm. This fake raid crap is aimed towards stupid OS's (e.g. windows) [23:32] ciaooo sono nuovo [23:32] rafael: type about:plugins in your address bar and see what's listed under Flash [23:32] google search yielded nothing also [23:32] ki mi aiuta [23:33] TX-Dan: ktorrent also has a web interface but the itunes remote controlled by iphone is synonymous except it doesnt need itunes or an iphone, you can use open source :) [23:33] I know how to build fluxbox from source without toolbar and slit [23:33] stefg: ok cool always wondered that [23:33] but it's too much bother for something so little [23:33] <_Tristan> how to I move a folder as root? [23:33] help needed to set up a wired home network sharing broadband internet from 9.04 installation to pc with windows installed [23:33] Hi all. I'm having trouble with some serious performance regressions in 9.04 with my trusty old ATI Radeon 9200 Mobility gfx card. In 8.10 it worked smoothly with compiz enabled, but in 9.04 everything is very slow and painful. Also KDE4 with compositing turned off is slow and buggy. Any ideas what causes this, and tips to fix it? [23:33] * nikkiclau enjoys coffee when working 15 hours straight! [23:33] stefg: can I pm you since this isnt channel related?

[23:35] the thing is, toolbar and slit are built-in not separate [23:35] yes [23:35] dylan_ you can set it in xorg.conf [23:35] rafael: does it show 'libflashplayer.so' ? [23:35] Crash1hd: it's late here and i'm on the edge on falling into bed... and i won't consider mdadm offtopic [23:35] no it doesnt [23:35] ActionParsnip, hahah, sounds like it... I'm in media production... so Apple and I are pretty tight. Hah... [23:35] hoymkot: any luck? [23:35] h00k wait [23:35] h00k yes it does [23:36] TX-Dan: i just think their stuff is hype, esp ipod [23:36] rafael: and doesn't show any other plugins for flash?

[23:37] ok I'll do that way, sorry [23:37] _Tristan sudo mv [23:37] TX-Dan: yeah its well marketted but so is windows ;) [23:37] <_Tristan> thanks [23:38] I Want to know what you think about that computer http://micro-informatique.fnac.com/a2641416/Ordinateur-portable-Ordinateur-portable-Toshiba-Satellite-P300-220-17-TFT?Mn=-1&Ra=-5000&To=0&Nu=36&Fr=0 [23:38] stefg: ok I wasnt actually going to ask you about mdadm but if Serial ATA function should be set to raid or base in cmos? [23:38] thank you :) [23:38] hmw: I'ma give ddrescue a shot and see what I can do with that [23:38] h00k: use dd_rescue to create an image, then mount it and use foremost to extract from the image [23:39] h00k: keep me posted on the results. Good luck! [23:39] Crash1hd: base seems right.... setting it to raid will prolly give you a 20 second boot delay [23:39] <``mEnEkS> Sup guys [23:39] <_Tristan> how do I make it so mounted stuff doesnt show up on my desktop? [23:39] stefg: so it doesnt make a difference in use just in boot up times?

[23:42] hoymkot: you got me on /ignore perhaps? ;-) [23:42] Crash1hd: since you have no hardware raid controller all the raid processing would be done by the CPU anyway. the raid setting only puts that on bios level, to present a stupid OS a single disk.
