Any ideas on this one? [00:00] stefg - 8) - of course. LOL [00:00] amnesiauk: the file you are trying to execute doesnt exist [00:00] ActionParsnip: probably /media/cdrom0 which has a /media/cdrom symbolic link [00:00] sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0 [00:01] lol that's what it said on the ubuntu page but mkay [00:01] I'll try cdrom [00:01] amnesiauk: try gksu "/media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade" [00:01] amnesiauk: then you want: gksudo sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade [00:01] already tried that [00:01] amnesiauk: try gksu "sh /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade" even* [00:01] rafael: sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree, and then reinstall it...try that.

Freaking love it. [00:02] i type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree it says i already have the latest version.. i open a page that uses flash.. and it says i dont have adobe flash player 9 or higher... it is any page .. help? [00:02] but do you guys seriously remember al those commands in linux:P? [00:03] yes [00:03] use then enough and you will [00:03] amnesiauk: i've been called "the rainman" when i'm fixing computers [00:03] ;-) [00:03] they are user friendly to remember [00:03] Hi, I need help. So, I can't to start ubuntu, I don't know, flash caps lock and scroll lock. Any ideas? [00:03] lol [00:04] fevel: not when you have to remember the same command with different command subsets for 3-4 different types of unixes [00:04] true [00:04] amnesiauk: experience, plus i use CLI more thn gui due to I find it faster [00:04] shit [00:04] hi, is there any way to make firestarter apply its policy to both wlan0 and eth0 rather than having to constantly change the internet device in the preferences? [00:04] tilinho, are you running ubuntu on a laptop? [00:04] I guess I shouldn't smoke that much weed then:P, since I forget the most of them [00:04] :) [00:04] amnesiauk: if you can master cli you get a whole bunch of power [00:05] yup [00:05] amnesiauk: i still remember them ;) [00:05] tilinho: are you brazillian? [00:05] linux can be 100% text based right? [00:05] tilinho: that is a kernel panic. do you see anything at all before the flashing? [00:05] amnesiauk, yes [00:05] billybigrigger, no. I am running on desktop. [00:05] نن [00:05] amnesiauk: linux is just the kernel, you can run command line apps on top of it if you want, or X (the graphical user environment) [00:05] fevel: yes. [00:05] ubuntu-br might help [00:05] amnesiak - I don't ever smoke weed but I know what you mean - being in MS Windows all day atrophies my brain [00:06] tilinho, i had that problem in early alpha's of jaunty, it turned out to be my i945 chipset and my wireless card causing system lockups [00:06] h00k..flashplugin nonfree was NOt installed [00:06] !cli | amnesiauk [00:06] amnesiauk: 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 [00:06] h00k i installed it...no result [00:06] rafael: interesting, install flashplugin-nonfree [00:06] and the kernel arranges the communications between the hardware and software right? [00:06] tilinho, but i was on a laptop so i doubt that you have the same problem as me [00:06] rafael: hrm. [00:06] amnesiauk: the kernel gives hardware and memory access [00:06] ahhh okay [00:06] billybigrigger: hm.. =/ [00:07] so it arranges the hardware and memory:)? [00:07] tilinho, you could look at your logs or dmesg and see if theres any warnings or errors before the lockup [00:07] amnesiauk: yeah, and assigns cpu time to the threads based on their nice value [00:07] billybigrigger: here, I use a desktop. [00:07] nikkiclau, 20 min remaining+- [00:07] awesome [00:07] h00k do u suggest starting from scratch? uninstalling everything? [00:07] amnesiauk: alright! **crossfingers** [00:07] :p [00:07] amnesiauk: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO.html might be of interest to you === Vincent is now known as Guest80711 [00:07] billybigrigger: how to look the log? [00:07] I know a little of the terminal:p [00:07] rafael: nah, just lemme think for a sec [00:07] basics [00:07] h00k ok [00:08] tilinho, open a text editor and browse to /var/log [00:08] nikkiclau, if it still wont work, what could I do next? [00:08] compile me own driver:P? [00:08] Currently running Jaunty. How can I get ctrl alt backspace to restart xorg like before? [00:08] billybigrigger: but, the ubuntu dont start here. [00:08] tilinho, oooh [00:08] got an odd cups question, on a LAN client i want both network printers and local ones to be usable. i can only switch btwn the 2 choices by changing ServerName directive in client.conf file in cups dir. how do i get access to both sets of printers on the client? [00:08] tilinho, explain "it wont start" [00:08] amnesiauk: you can check in windows if the driver's settings allow you to go to power-save mode .... if it does, and it's on then you need to turn it off .. [00:08] amnesiauk: just issue 'sudo invoke-rc.d ?dm stop' .... have fun then :-) [00:09] rafael: look in Synaptec for nswrapper [00:09] rafael: let me know what you have installed there [00:09] stefg: it's his nic driver .. [00:09] stefg: nvm [00:09] gotcha there [00:09] !dontzap | J-_ [00:09] J-_: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ».

[00:10] billybigrigger: ubuntu dont start, stop on screen of loading. [00:10] fevel: nothing. [00:10] amnesiauk: no dual-boot on the machine? [00:10] hi everyone [00:10] it freezes? [00:10] tilinho, the splash startup screen? [00:10] tilinho, does it get to grub (boot loader) ? [00:10] does enyone here speaks french? [00:10] fevel: just splash caps look and scroll lock. [00:10] tilinho, restart it and then hit alt-f2 to display the text and see what the error is [00:10] nope [00:10] rizzo20__, try #ubuntu-fr [00:11] amnesiauk: ah [00:11] wait [00:11] !fr | rizzo20__ [00:11] rizzo20__: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [00:11] rizzo20__: there is french support in #ubuntu-fr [00:11] alt f2 [00:11] nikkiclau, I was planning to emulate windows when I'm in school [00:11] see if it switches [00:11] thanks [00:11] billybigrigger: thats its. splash screen. [00:11] and use ubuntu as my main os [00:11] went to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto - it is sort of freaking me out a tiny bit - like I've just stepped into the deep end of the pool with out my water wings. [00:11] amnesiauk: yeah .... that's the way to go .. :) I even play all my games on linux at home :D [00:11] but no one there seems to be helpful tonight [00:11] tilinho, alt-f2 will switch to text mode, so when the splash screen comes up, hit alt-f2 and look at the text, try and read it, and see if it comes up with an error [00:11] billybigrigger: yeah. stop on splash screen. [00:12] I have run into problems creating a bootable usb-install. where is tue updated guide for that? (the syslinux-way) [00:12] dota runs on my linux but not on my mac [00:12] h00k there is nothing under nswrapper [00:12] billybigrigger: ok man, thank you, i'm testing now. [00:12] which release is this? 2.6.27-11-generic [00:12] tilinho, 10-4 [00:12] nikkiclau, but is linux that complicated or isn't it? [00:12] rafael: ah, I'm sorry, try npwrapper [00:12] !version | KaiForce [00:12] KaiForce: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [00:12] if i can't identify the Ubuntu release by kernel, where can I find the release a particular machine is running? [00:12] KaiForce, it hink its 8.10 before updates [00:12] KaiForce: thats a kernel, not a release. Kernel is what commands linux. [00:12] KaiForce, it think its 8.10 before updates [00:12] stefg thank you [00:13] amnesiauk, depends on how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go [00:13] virtual boxing xp in ubuntu, anyone know any good tutorials? [00:13] stealth- i know, but wouldn't it follow that for a generic kernel you can identify the release? [00:13] billybigrigger, as far as possible:p [00:13] amnesiauk, linux can be hard, or not, depends on your usage [00:13] KaiForce, i told you [00:13] xray7224 yes thank you [00:13] h00k nothing there either [00:13] im trying to build a proxy [00:13] amnesiauk, but it gets easier with time, the more you use it on a daily basis the easier it gets [00:13] lundh: I've used unetbootin [00:13] amnesiauk: it can be truely simple, and extremely complicated ... [00:13] I want the best experience [00:13] billybigrigger, well understanding the filesystem, know where everythings located, know how everything works [00:13] etc [00:13] linux isnt hard your just not use to it [00:13] KaiForce: I know, but I anticipated someone else would tell him so i told him that in case he didn't know [00:13] Hello everybody! I'm new here and I have a doubt... can someone help me? [00:14] rafael: but npwrapper is listed in about:plugins ? [00:14] thinking about setting up webmin or something [00:14] !ask | andresx [00:14] andresx: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:14] amnesiauk, time, some/alot of reading [00:14] amnesiauk, all depends on how much you want to learn [00:14] :) [00:14] Rhythmbox has stopped working on my machine. [00:14] amnesiauk: takes a couple of years to dig into linux if you enjoy breaking your system for the heck of it and trying to fix it afterwards [00:14] spasticteapot, run it via command line see what it says [00:14] Yopu: I am pretty new to Linux, and I just dived in. I do have a couple of yrs experience w/ VMware [00:14] billybigrigger, quite a shame but I'm still too narrowminded cause of windows:( [00:14] h00k npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [00:15] amnesiauk, just jump right into it, ditch windows, you'll thank yourself later... [00:15] nikkiclau, thats how I learnt everything I know so far :p [00:15] h00k that is on the about..yes..as the filename [00:15] yup [00:15] thomatwork: unetbooting doesnt work for me for some reason [00:15] amnesiauk, if somethings broken, fix it, thats how you learn :P [00:15] amnesiauk: keep at it and you'll know a lot .. [00:15] xray7224: It runs - it just won't play anything, similar to when I don't have a soundcard selected. I'll give it a shot, though - I might get an error message. [00:15] rafael: check for npwrapper.libflashplayer.so in your ~/.mozilla/plugins folder and delete it [00:15] amnesiauk, don't give up on linux because something broke and your too lazy to fix it :P ubuntuforums.org is a great place to find info [00:15] Ok, after upgrade to intrepid on an Acer laptop, the sound works for a bit then stops working. Is this a common issue? [00:15] rafael: if it exists [00:15] amnesiauk: a sysadmin i've been teaching from ground up (windows and linux), knows a lot now .. almost didn't know anything a year ago .. [00:16] i need help on my computer, I need help on starting gui on 9.04, I upgrade it by autoupdate from 8.10 [00:16] amnesiauk: if you have , say, 3 free days and an old box to play with: build yourself a LFS (Linux from scratch) system... very educational (although rarely useful for real work) [00:16] amnesiauk: hanging out here is a big help and the forums. Till you get the hang of where everything is at. [00:16] lundh: sorry man - i've been lucky on that front [00:16] I have a problem of evolution stalling on Ubuntu 9.04 when trying to compose a new message [00:16] it takes about 30 seconds to open the window [00:16] and my notebook seems to be fine.. so its not a hardware problem [00:16] I have folders with thousands of email [00:16] hoymkot_: please try grep ERR /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:16] rgs_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:16] It may sound stupid but I;m kinda thrilled into linux now:) [00:16] will you guys stop saying linux is hard [00:16] hoymkot_: then pastebin it please :) [00:16] rafael: also, you'll need to delete it (as root) if it exists in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [00:17] amnesiauk: i was too when i was starting to use it .. everything broke on me .. [00:17] xray7224: I get this error message: (rhythmbox:13827): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to grab media player keys: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name [00:17] xray7224: its not just have to understand the differences coming from windows . [00:17] nikkiclau, thats how you learn stuff best [00:17] amnesiauk: trying to get ISDN to work at the time was horrid even ... i loved it [00:17] should I use sarg on my proxy? [00:17] amnesiauk: yup, stuff sticks in your brain afterwards [00:17] i get DRDY ERROR on a couple of my drives when used as the ubuntu 9.04 / partition, most likely just 2 bad drives? [00:17] ^^ [00:17] rafael: also, lastly check /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/ for that file [00:17] histo, your making it sound like its hard rather than just they dont know there way around the system i find windows hard but if you ask people they'd say it isnt [00:18] I installed 64-bit Kubuntu 9.04.

[00:26] amnesiauk: shift+ctrl+c [00:26] ahhh [00:26] amnesiauk: shift+ctrl+c [00:27] just like a new tab and crap [00:27] i'm trying to download java, it tells me to go into the terminal, type "su" and then my password, but it never lets me type in my password and i dont know what to do. [00:27] amnesiauk: or you can drag over the text and then click middle mouse button .... [00:27] My ubuntu don't load, stop on splash screen and show me this warning, "kernel panic - not syncing attempted to kill init." on safe mode. Any idea? [00:27] mib_ijoy77hg: su is the command to turn into root. You want "sudo su" then your password. su requires the root password, which you cant know [00:27] skierpage: unless system>preferences>hardware drivers tells you, then you're probably running the vesa or opensource ati compatible driver [00:27] Seeker`, hey guys what does for x in `ls /dev/sd*` ; do dd if=/dev/random of=$x ; done do someone told me to run it :P [00:27] !root | mib_ijoy77hg [00:27] mib_ijoy77hg: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:27] amnesiauk: (where you want to copy to) [00:27] cool:) [00:27] I have a problem with my audio drivers ... When I plug in headphones the sound from the speakers don't go away, as the sound do in windows .... Anyone?? [00:27] mib_ijoy77hg, root account in locked in ubuntu [00:27] I've looked in alsamixer also [00:28] mib_ijoy77hg: use add/remove in the applications menu to install java [00:28] mib_ijoy77hg: try sudo [00:28] I have an external HD (500gb) formatted with ext2 and I'm having some severe file system problems, I'd like to try to get my data off before I reformat/surface scan, can anyone point me to some (f/os) software that might help? I'd love to try ddrescue but I don't have spare 500gb. [00:28] mib_ijoy77hg: to download java > sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [00:28] !intelhda | sedeki [00:28] sedeki: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [00:28] h00k: norton ghost 2003? [00:28] neskat Thanks! That thing ("jockey" ?) shows blank and "No proprietary drivers", so that sounds right. [00:28] stefg: aah cool! thanks! [00:29] hey mr_bo_jangles [00:29] nikkiclau: free/open source software, also, I don't have spare 500gb to image it to. [00:29] h00k, the problem with images is that will will also have keep errors that the fileystem may have [00:29] hey xray [00:29] skierpage: cool, you can install the atu drivers for better performance if you __need__ them [00:29] h00k, you are best off backing up files using something like tar and rsync [00:29] Titan8990: they were rsync'd to that drive. [00:29] stefg: I can't find the answer to my question in that link. Basically put I need to finish removing an old kernel package that was only partially removed before. [00:29] nikkiclau, rebooting:) [00:29] h00k, so you don't backup the filesystem issues [00:29] amnesiauk: hopefully this works out of the box ... [00:29] h00k, rsync them back :) [00:30] let's hope so [00:30] Seeker`, should i run sudo for x in `ls /dev/sd*` ; do dd if=/dev/random of=$x ; done [00:30] Titan8990: they won't. That's the problem. [00:30] Seeker`, they said it would fix my background [00:30] pajamian: you might need to reinstall it again, just to get rid of it afterwards [00:30] neskat I am getting occasional corruption of window contents, so maybe I'll give it a shot. [00:30] Titan8990: I'm getting "Stale NFS file handle" [00:30] h00k, oh.... [00:30] stefg: that sucks, there really should be a way to tell apt to "just remove the damn thing" [00:31] i so dont :O [00:31] Titan8990, I am trying to install VNC enterprise [00:31] Titan8990, would that be vnc-java now? [00:31] Titan8990: my DMESG is reporting I/O errors: http://pastebin.com/d10511920 [00:31] skierpage: make sure you know how to revert to your old xorg.conf file in the root shell incase anything goes wrong [00:31] unr3a1, not sure, I use ssh [00:31] Titan8990: so I'm looking for a way to rescue my data. [00:31] pajamian: there are some --force options with apt, but it's quite unresponsible to just tell people to -- force-yes this or that w/o knowing what they are doing [00:31] mr_bo_jangles, i got kicked :( [00:32] h00k, thats a tough one.... [00:32] Titan8990: yeah... [00:32] stefg: right, and I thought --force-yes simply told it to answer yes to prompts automatically [00:32] h00k: get another 500G disk .. cheapest option IMO === |v|aster is now known as noobUser [00:33] nikkiclau, I've got an ip now:) [00:33] pajamian: you prolly need dpkg --force-help [00:33] amnesiauk: excellent! :D glad to hear it! [00:33] lolbye [00:33] h00k, I would maybe try some picture recovery software [00:33] nikkiclau: yeah, thats money I don't have...that's why I'm seeing if anyone knows of any software that would be nice to use to recover from my hosed filesystem [00:33] anyone know if catalyst 9.4 and jaunty = working 3d performance or not? [00:33] h00k, its made for photos but works will all types of files [00:33] has anyone here sucessfully installed vnc enterprise in 9.04? [00:33] Titan8990: yeah, I thought maybe something like testdisk [00:33] h00k, start with the most important [00:34] How do I print pages 47 and 48 of a PDF from the CLI? I have lpr / pdf2ps / gs / etc installed. [00:34] nikkiclau, sorry for bothering you, since I could also just install 9.04 straight away:p [00:34] amnesiauk: then we know that this was a driver issue, and a upgrade of kernel (or in this case, Ubuntu) worked for you. [00:34] amnesiauk: no worries mate .. it was fun [00:35] nikkiclau, thanks a lot mate:) [00:35] amnesiauk: you're very welcome :) [00:35] nikkiclau, strange though why the usb stick didn't work:p [00:36] I guess the bootsector was fine right, otherwise it wouldn't boot:)\ [00:36] amnesiauk: probably ... but i've seen usb sticks working on some computers and not others .. I guess it's not as reliable as CD ROM .. [00:36] !info photorec | h00k [00:36] h00k: Package photorec does not exist in jaunty [00:36] ... sh ... [00:37] nikkiclau, strange:) [00:37] stefg: I found testdisk: gcsecurity.org [00:37] well I'll stop bothering you guys, but I'll definitely come back:) [00:37] amnesiauk: not really .. I saw this happend aswell with CD ROMs vs floppy disks when CD booting was a new technology [00:37] dd with a progress bar where can i find [00:37] amnesiauk: alrighty mate .. [00:37] and the cdrom worked? [00:37] guess so right:P? [00:38] Titan8990, would you know why gksu vncview %f does not load the application? [00:38] is there something I am missing in that command? [00:38] amnesiauk: in the end, BIOS manufacturers fixed their code ... [00:38] h00k: testdisk recovers partitions .... if your partition table is hosed. photorec (sam author iirc) tries to get your files back [00:38] ahh I see [00:39] stefg: photorec is included in the tarball [00:39] nikkiclau, well my new bios on the laptops kinda simple:( [00:39] nikkiclau, hasnt got the option to press f12 for example and choose where to boot from [00:39] i type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree it says i already have the latest version.. i open a page that uses flash.. and it says i dont have adobe flash player 9 or higher... it is any page .. help? [00:39] amnesiauk: well, they differ from product to product ... unfortunately [00:40] k1rbsah: dl from the adobe site and follow the instructions there. [00:40] nikkiclau, yup [00:40] hi, i just decided to install ubuntu 9.0.4 and wanted to install ati drivers(fglrx) afterwards, did it with apt-get. after that i got a white with black screen. I also noticed that fglrx gave error while loading. Do i have to modify the ubuntu kernel for fglrx? cause i got the same version working on my gentoo box? And btw where are all the option from Xorg.conf written to? [00:40] HI amnesiauk [00:40] pikko:p [00:40] leviatha1: current versions of X do not require a static config file [00:41] leviatha1: that's why xorg.conf is empty [00:41] stefg: well I'm gonna try reinstall / remove, but it's rather a pain because it has a dependancy that has to be installed and removed as well that way. [00:41] leviatha1: envy .... or go buy an nvidia card (quicker solution) [00:41] \x6a\x31\x58\xcd\x80\x89\xc3\x89\xc1\x6a\x46\x58\xcd\x80\x31\xc0\x50\x68\x2f\x2f\x73\x68\x68\x2f\x62\x69\x6e\x54\x5b\x50\x53\x89\xe1\x31\xd2\xb0\x0b\xcd\x80 [00:41] stefg: well its on my old notebook so its kinda hard [00:41] leviatha1, which version of fglrx did apt-get install [00:41] leviatha1: it's *supposed* to just Do The Right Thing...but graphics drivers are just kinda screwed on jaunty ATM [00:41] Well nikkiclau, thanks again for the help, got to install xp on me old laptop now:p [00:41] hi, im trying to use a script where the format is exec prog.exe and then I need to pass two dynamic perameters after that ip:port so the script would be script +connect ip:port if i put +connect ip:port inside the script after prog.exe works fine, if i do script +connect ip:port it does not work [00:41] To help me better understand UbuntuBootupHowto, I am trying to get synergyc to connect to a synergy server prior to user login - what do I need to do to get this working? I have already figured out how to get synergyc to connect upon user log in. [00:41] rhorse i did installed using the .deb and restarted firefox and even relogged [00:41] mr_bo_jangles: what's that? malware encoded as escape characters? no thanks [00:42] just wanted to test ubuntu cuause i never worked with it yet [00:42] hey guys I have the 9.04 iso already and I want to install inside of windows how can I do that w/o waiting on wubi to dl the iso? [00:42] amnesiauk: alright .. have fun :) [00:42] lol its /bin/sh [00:42] k1rbsah: no. You have to go to the adobe.com and install from there. Will work,. guaranteed. :) [00:42] hey guys I have the 9.04 iso already and I want to install inside of windows how can I do that w/o waiting on wubi to dl the iso? [00:42] maco: is there any way round? manual install or no point trying? [00:42] waiting for people to ask about it [00:42] leviatha1: you can use vesa in the meantime. i suppose there's a work around somewhere. i only konw the intel stuff though [00:42] rhorse ok ill try again :) ty ill get back to you :) [00:43] leviatha1: it's also possible you have one of the cards for which ATI recently dropped support and thus need the open source ati driver [00:43] jimisrvrox: but the disk in.. and it will auto run while in windows [00:43] put* [00:43] LadyNikon: I have the cd but it will not read on this cdrom.. [00:43] rhorse the tar.gz ? [00:43] jimisrvrox: did you burn it correctly? it should automatically start when you put the disk in [00:43] k1rbsah: don't use the deb., use the .gz file [00:43] LadyNikon: I have a copy of 9.04 on my flash drive but it is not a dedicated OS just the iso [00:43] yes [00:44] rhorse ok because ive done the .deb and apt-get :-/ [00:44] jimisrvrox: can you burn it to a cd? [00:44] are there any utilities similar to dd but with a progress bar? [00:44] i would like to install jaunty to an external harddrive with debootstrap from a hardy ubuntu, but command "debootstrap jaunty /install" says E: No such script: /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/jaunty. what should i do? [00:44] LadyNikon: yeah but as I well know some cdroms do not like certain media types..showed up fine on my *nix boxes at home.. [00:44] LadyNikon: no she does not have a cd burner.. [00:44] k1rbsah: use the .gz and follow the instructions on how to install. It's easy. [00:44] jimisrvrox: i just used isoburner [00:44] jimisrvrox: ah [00:44] rhorse ok ok :) [00:44] maco: doubt it did use closed server before on that machine. Didnt check though. Will try to play a bit with kernel an driver then. cause i often play wow on my notebook while in class and its just not possible with a decent driver [00:44] closed driver* [00:44] jimisrvrox: maybe google usb ubuntu installation windows [00:45] LadyNikon: I dont think I could run it offa usb w/o extracting the iso is what im saying [00:45] thomatwork: I don't think that would be possible (not without hacking gdm atleast) [00:45] fthomat [00:46] hi...where do the armel guys hang out? [00:47] heguru the PC will boot to the log in screen. - I just hate having 2 keyboards on my desk just so I can log in to my Ubuntu box. [00:47] Can someone help me with an rsync error? I'm getting "failed to set times" "operation not permitted" with the one rsync command I run [00:47] I have a bug in xargs under armel qemu [00:47] jimisrvrox: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ [00:47] LadyNikon: I told her that I could backup her windows sys to an online storage..but it would take too long and I told her to get everything she wanted bc windows was going to the trash :) I convinced her to try linux from the ubuntu student training manual and the fact that windows has a ugly registry and was just being a big PITA [00:48] jimisrvrox: im just googling so read it first [00:48] thomatwork: and you want synergyc to connect to server so you can use the keyboard to login, for this synergyc has to run in the same session as GDM, and you have to modify the gdm startup file === z00m is now known as z00m|away [00:48] in Jaunty, is there no longer the option to have "icons only" in the "task list"? [00:48] rhorse NOTE: Please ask your administrator to remove the xpti.dat from the [00:48] components directory of the Mozilla or Netscape browser. [00:48] Installation complete. [00:48] jimisrvrox: brb [00:48] LadyNikon: I do not want to lose everything on my flash drive tho bc I have more than just the ubuntu on there [00:48] Does anyone know how to see about turning off a touchpad/certain mouse buttons but leaving other mouse buttons active? [00:48] Hi... I installed phatch from the repos, but now nautilus can't open up any folders. Or rather, shortcuts to my home folder no longer work. Instead phatch opens up. So I uninstalled phatch hoping the ownership would switch back to nautilus, but instead I now see an error message saying "can't open :///file/home/arthur because no appplication exists to do so" [00:49] What is the right mount command for a fat32 the -t *where here?* [00:49] *what** [00:49] vfat [00:49] Kubuntu__: -t vfat [00:50] well, i'm going .. night night [00:50] Kubuntu__: actually omitting -t should also work, mount should autodetect fat32 [00:50] Can someone help me with an rsync error? I'm getting "failed to set times" "operation not permitted" with the one rsync command I run [00:50] gdm = GNOME Display Manager I'm guessing... hmm. Is modifying the gdm startup file a non-trivial task? [00:50] Roasted: please be patient someone will help you when thy can. [00:50] question: about desktop drapes program, for the "Wallpaper search directory", does it search in subfolders? [00:50] heguru: it didnt detect it. and said vfat was wrong [00:51] ladynikon - I have been. But thanks! [00:51] thomatwork: check this post, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-564405.html [00:51] leviatha1: ati just demoted a lot of cards from supported-in-fglrx to unsupported-and-now-in-ati like a month or two ago [00:51] <_CommandeR_> Hi, is there a reason why Ubuntu 9.04 reads my 6GiB as 5.8GiB ? [00:51] Roasted: then check the forums. [00:51] ladynikon - Already did. [00:51] rhorse still no go :-/ [00:51] Kubuntu__: maybe its not fat32 then [00:51] <_CommandeR_> Hi, is there a reason why Ubuntu 9.04 reads my 6GiB as 5.8GiB (RAM) [00:51] Roasted: then i guess its waiting to see if someone can help you. but i dont recommend repeating our post [00:51] heguru: it is its just a U3 Drive and its buggy [00:52] k1rbsah: you'll have to do a find -name xpti.dat .mozilla search and rm that file, then. Can't you install from your browser at adobe.com? [00:52] wath [00:52] ladynikon - I repeat it when my post gets lost in the above text that clearly nobody else will check. [00:52] waht [00:52] Am I going to have an issue with ubuntu seeing a 1TB drive? [00:52] heguru: thx - I should have searched the forums a little better - this looks to have some answers [00:52] Crash1hd: no [00:52] que [00:52] heguru: I ask because xp seems to only be seeing the first 100gigs or so [00:53] Roasted: i would say give it like 2 or 3 mins between it but hey.. its up to you :) [00:53] Roasted: they could be in the middle of typing a response... [00:53] Crash1hd: XP only see 100gbs ? [00:53] Crash1hd: Is it partitioned correctly ? [00:53] maco - If several minutes pass where I get no responses and my question has been unseen on the main screen of text here for quite some time, I highly doubt they'd be typing. And even if they are, what's the harm? [00:53] Cpudan80: thats xp pro without any service packs (doing an install) [00:53] hmm [00:54] You did chose NTFS right ? [00:54] yes [00:54] Crash1hd: You shouldn't install XP gold [00:54] <_CommandeR_> Hi, is there a reason why Ubuntu 9.04 reads my 6GiB as 5.8GiB (RAM) [00:54] Crash1hd: You need to slip it up to SP3 [00:54] or at least 2 [00:54] * maco wonders what NTFS's max filesystem size is [00:54] installing gold is a very bad idea [00:54] Cpudan80: if I new how I would [00:54] Cpudan80: why? [00:54] perhaps a stupid questio, but what command is executed when i press the hotkey that mutes my speakers? put another way: if I wanted to write a script that would mute my sound, what command would i use? [00:54] Crash1hd: you use NLite -- the guys in ##windows can help you [00:55] Crash1hd: ;\ [00:55] Crash1hd: for reasons like your weird 100GB problem, XP Gold had a large volume problem that you wont be able to get around later [00:55] Cpudan80 is he running it in a USB enclosure? I had same prob with puttin a 350GB in an old enclosure [00:55] mib_7wl1la: maybe look at 'man amixer'? [00:56] Good question [00:56] USB enclosure = evil [00:56] Cpudan80: hmm I know that once sp2 is installed it sees the rest of the drive (im only installing xp on the first 20 gigs anyhow [00:56] Hi guys. Could you please answer a question? Let's say that I want to find the second line of the la.tmp file. I do: sed -n '2p' la.tmp [00:56] right? [00:56] what if instead of 2, I want to input a variable? [00:56] mib_7wl1la: depents on your hardware, usually one of the scripts in /etc/acpi/events/ [00:56] Crash1hd: oh ok ... then yes that would work [00:56] http://www.Marie-gets-Deflowered.com/?id=43a43334 [00:56] i'm confused as to why jaunty server uses significantly more ram than a clean install of windows xp at idle [00:56] like $i for exaample [00:56] <_CommandeR_> Hi, is there a reason why Ubuntu 9.04 reads my 6GiB as 5.8GiB (RAM) ?

[01:00] Crash1hd: but this is offtopic for #ubuntu - check ##windows [01:00] maco: yes sir [01:00] I need help, I have a wireless card operating as an AP, I need it to use WPA encryption [01:00] _CommandeR_: the top end is reserved and rounded off - don't worry about it [01:00] and when the system boot up i hear sound [01:00] <_CommandeR_> lstarnes, Oh ok :) [01:00] Cpudan80: no problem thankyou for the help [01:00] np [01:00] dassouki: i think for php you want libapache2-mod-php4 or something to that effect (apt-cache search it) [01:00] Crash1hd: Im in ##windows too ... [01:00] Apaxis: lstarnes thanks [01:01] Apaxis: php5, not php4 [01:01] I play both OS instruments [01:01] Apaxis: php4 is no longer supported iirc [01:01] randomusr: i thought it was ctrl alt L [01:01] <_CommandeR_> Cpudan80, thanx m8 :) [01:01] maco: Kernel (Arguments): root=UUID=118e7d19-808f-4bd4-85f8-d93f914592ce ro quiet splash [01:01] ah, yea im not up on the current versions [01:01] rhorse ok [01:01] maco, not in my keyboard shortcuts [01:01] <_CommandeR_> BTW Anyone here Using Creative X-FI Card ? [01:01] k1rbsah: if you give me a moment I can find it for yuou [01:01] _CommandeR_: if you are really worried about your ram, run memtest86+ on it [01:01] or some such thing [01:01] lstarnes: other than bash-completion, do you have any other ideas? I can tab-complete anything that isn't apt-get [01:02] <_CommandeR_> Cpudan80, Nah its fine i dualboot into Windows 64bit also and it sees all of it :) [01:02] randomusr: ....wait you tried to set super+L for lock in gnome's keyboard shortcuts thing? gnome's keyboard shortcuts dont recognize Super as a modifier, just as a key of its own, so "Super_L" means the left super key [01:02] _CommandeR_: no, the ram that doesn't appear visible to use is reserved by the kernel. your ram is probably fine. [01:02] rhorse is it libflashplayer.so? [01:02] reid: are you running apt-get using sudo or as root (after sudo -i etc) [01:02] <_CommandeR_> I Was just wondering .... [01:02] heguru: oh, as root [01:02] http://pastebin.com/d6357733e <-- i get this when i try to compile.sh a program [01:02] maco, it doesn't work either way [01:03] reid: do it using sudo, bash-completion works for your user only, not for root by default [01:03] and I can use Super with a modifier on other shortcuts [01:03] k1rbsah: yes, and just put it in the proper directory - you can find that be googling. Good luck! [01:03] heguru: ah, thanks [01:03] reid: if youre logged in as root just do . /etc/bash_completion [01:03] randomusr: i didnt think that'd changed....are you doing this in gnome or compiz keyboard settings? (i'm not using either of the above, but i think i still remember how they work) [01:03] hey, anyone here know how to port foward for apache, correctly? [01:04] rhorse ok thanks :) [01:04] maco, I'm pretty sure that I'm using the gnome keyboard settings [01:04] <_CommandeR_> But im impressed how 9.04 works fine :) [01:04] -sigh- Smart people here, So relaxing to hear leetspeak :D YaY!

[01:07] Apaxis: problem fixed, thanks a bunch [01:07] so when i installed ubuntu i had all sorts of fancy effects now i can't make the system have wobbly windows i tried enabling visual effects but it says it can't but why could it before i upgraded? [01:07] is there a way to change that? [01:07] Urik: I have no idea if my way of doing it is the most efficient, but the idea is that "head -ni" returns the first i lines from the file, and "tail -n1" returns the last line from its input [01:07] reid: you can also add that to root's .bashrc if you like [01:07] MrDudle: make sure you have your graphics drivers installed properly === randomguy11 is now known as stealth- [01:07] Apaxis, yes [01:07] h00k, is there a wway to reinstall them? [01:08] jimi_hendrix: which ati card do you have? [01:08] MrDudle: yes, do you have ATI or NVIDIA [01:08] aaaah now I understand. I forgot about the pipeline. It's very smart. Thanks Seeker` [01:08] nvidia [01:08] it used to work perfectly in 8.04, then i tried jaunty, then i tried fedora, then i tried sabayon, then i tried arch again, and now i am back on hardy, and its not going well [01:08] !nvidia | MrDudle [01:08] MrDudle: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:08] Apaxis, ATI radeon hd mobility 3470 [01:08] thank you h00k [01:08] please help me i want to get rid of kde3 so badly [01:08] Good luck, MrDudle [01:09] anyone getting a broken package error in synaptic?

[01:10] h00k, it says i have no propietary drivers installed [01:10] :S [01:10] MrDudle: check out System -> Preferences -> Hardware Drivers [01:10] is there a hack to place a "task manager" option when one clicks the panel, like windows? [01:10] System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [01:10] is it possible to bring ubuntu to earlier date like in windows? system restore? [01:11] that's where i am h00k [01:11] MrDudle: do you see any drivers listed?

[01:11] anyone using eeebuntu experiencing issues with wireless wpa networks not authenticating after standby? it seems to be a common issue (which i guess is driver related) and can't find any info. restarting networking doesn't help [01:11] k [01:12] MrDudle: do a sudo apt-get update [01:12] MrDudle: and upgrade [01:12] h00k, i am on 9.04 [01:13] but i am updating === deniz is now known as Guest54688 [01:14] jimi_hendrix: you may need to try ati.com's driver, this howto im reading doesnt mention the radeon mobilities [01:14] does waiting ffor the current stable reelease (9.04) to become even more stable with updates decrease my chances of breaking my ubuntu OS when upgrading from 8.10? [01:14] ok [01:14] is it possible to bring ubuntu to earlier date like in windows? system restore? [01:14] Guest54688: the only updates you will see is security patches [01:15] Guest54688: some bug fixes [01:15] Guest54688: or you can wait for 9.10 which should be lts [01:15] admin_masu3701: ubuntu doesn't have a system restore feature [01:15] thiebaude: ok [01:15] admin_masu3701: it doesn't need one either [01:15] here jimi_hendrix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [01:15] histo: true [01:15] histo, ya so is the update mechanism going to be less buggy?

[01:16] Apaxis, i was about to ask you waht do i do with the file i download [01:16] nice call [01:16] Guest54688: I haven't experienced any bugs have you? [01:16] histo, a couple releases ago [01:16] cause am having sound and flash player problem cant cant fix it [01:16] jimi_hendrix: try their howto on installing the ati driver, if that doesnt work you may just not have support for great 3d on that card, sorry [01:16] jimi_hendrix: if I read the release notes for fglrx 9.4 right it no longer supports your chipset, so you'll have to use the open driver [01:16] jimi_hendrix: I could be wrong though, I just skimmed them (http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/catalyst_94_linux.pdf) [01:16] Guest54688: a lot of people don't upgrade untill lts. There is really no need if everything is working. Allthough ext4 is nice. [01:16] Apaxis, i used to be able to run compiz flawlessly [01:17] * MrDudle brb reboot [01:17] mzz, i am using hardy... [01:17] jimi_hendrix: hrm, did you try the open driver first man? [01:17] no [01:17] jimi_hendrix: ah, in that case using fglrx 9.3 might be an option. [01:17] histo, well my mom is getting annoyed with this 8.10 bug that has resolution changing every like 5 boots and she has to reboot every 5 reboots to get the normal res [01:17] histo, and i dont no the pattern to file a bug report, would filing such a thing lead to a fix or is it too abstract? [01:17] jimi_hendrix: (although I'd try the open driver first) [01:18] Guest54688: Well it may definately be worth upgrading then. there are some things you can do to protect yourself. [01:18] jimi_hendrix: id try that out, and then do what mzz is saying if that doesnt help you [01:18] Guest54688: at least try to catch a /var/log/Xorg.0.log for both the correct and the bogus resolution [01:18] Guest54688: have a seperate /home paritition also backup your data from home then you have very little to worry about. === jforte is now known as Jena [01:18] Guest54688: bugs are filed with launchpad [01:18] !bugs > Guest54688 [01:18] Guest54688, please see my private message [01:19] Guest86949: filing serious bugs usually ends up in a fix [01:19] Guest54688: Have you considered upgrading. There have been many fixes to screen and monitor handling [01:19] eventually [01:19] oops [01:19] Apaxis: well, for this one a bit more info than "it's wrong once every n boots" would be required [01:19] i addressed the wrong guest [01:19] histo, ok so i shoiuld just say this in launchpad and include lspci? that should fix the problem? [01:19] but yeah [01:20] ok === StooJ|Away is now known as StooJ [01:20] Guest54688: I suspect an Xorg.0.log for both cases would be more useful than an lspci [01:20] mzz: yea, didnt see his bug lol just thought he had a general question about bug reporting [01:21] mzz, jeffreyf, histo, ok well ill file a bug report anyways thx i have to study now tho [01:22] where are the sounds located for ubuntu?

[01:25] bowl: you can get the cd's at the ubutnu download sites. [01:25] MrDudle: do 'lspci grep VGA' and see which video card you have [01:25] Chr|s, The update icon is gone for 9.04. [01:25] so i was able to mount everything and chroot in [01:25] MrDudle: lspci | grep VGA [01:25] bowl, you asked and were answered, dont repeat [01:25] is there something i can run to complete the install? [01:26] !ubuntu | bowl [01:26] bowl: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [01:26] randomusr: its not the window manager that looks that way.. but compiz + the emerald window decorator can look a lot like vista. [01:26] Seveas: ahh they did, so there is no notification? [01:26] randomusr: you might have to make your own emerald theme, or find one to download.

[01:27] histo: it asks for the install cd media after 80% of "isntalling the base system" [01:27] Chr|s, Right, no notification Icon.

[01:43] it works but it doesn't have the correct size available, 1440x768 i think it is [01:43] Apaxis: it only happens with alternate amd64, now with alternate i686 [01:43] brian___: youd have to start that over, no way of telling what file it was in the middle of copying/extracting in order to continue the install [01:43] odinsbane: care to share? [01:43] Is there a way to adjust the speed of my fan? [01:44] Apaxis: starting over is fine [01:44] i can mount the partiitons from a chroot [01:44] vasi : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/270748 [01:44] <_Tristan> how do I not show mounted stuff on the desktop? [01:44] i just cant be using the cd to install [01:44] er 1440 x 900 [01:44] how do i uninstall flash-64 and reinstall flash 32 in ubuntu? 64 dont seem to work good [01:44] _Tristan: run kde? :-P [01:44] Apaxis: this is the bug http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7210718 [01:44] I needed to turn the wlan on manually, echo 1 > path/to/some/thing [01:44] admin_masu3701: how did you install flash64? [01:44] it using alot CPU [01:45] wendy__d-_-b, thanks, I've used GPARTED and it's found an NTFS 11.89gb, would that be the smaller partition? I just don't want to overwrite. [01:45] is there any way I can tell what cd drive model I have?

[01:45] and put the .so file in /mozile/plugins [01:45] alguien de chile?? [01:46] wendy__d-_-b: it's showing it on gparted, but not when i install [01:46] ok [01:46] how come i always get "unable to resolve host " if i do sudo? [01:46] admin_masu3701: so you installed in manually, not with a deb? [01:46] you should be able to just remove the .so file you put in [01:46] vasi: no [01:46] Anscombe, go to PLACES and see if its there? and is this the first time u booted to ubuntu? [01:46] and then you can 'apt-get install flashplugin-installer' to get flash32 [01:47] hi guys [01:47] <|v|aster> How do I set up a printer on my network when I have its IP? [01:47] hope there is a quick answer to a fairly mundane issue I have [01:47] wendy__d-_-b: theres 2 mounts and yes. [01:47] anyone? [01:48] |v|aster: go to the normal printer setup thing and choose "lpr" for the printer type then put the IP address in the box on the right [01:48] where the heck did my max/min/close corner-of-a-window-tool go? [01:48] |v|aster: then it'll ask you for the printer make & model, and you're on your way [01:48] when i try starting ubuntu from an external hard drive, I keep getting this error, GRUB Loading stage 1.5. > Grub Loading, please wait....> Error 25> _ _ _ [01:48] 9.04 on a netbook [01:48] well brian___, i just dont know.... im starting to think its a bug with the installer script, maybe on the alternate (amd64/i686) disk? have you checked the bugtracker or whatever ubuntu has? [01:48] how might i dump the contents of a "screen" session in a terminal to a file? [01:48] neonfloss: dmesg | grep CD [01:48] mibzzer15: are you on a mac, by any chance? [01:48] is this yet-another x-org 1.6 'feature'? [01:48] <|v|aster> maco, ty [01:48] vasi: no [01:48] Anscombe, on places, after COMPUTER you should see all ur partitions, and to load then just click on them, put password when pronted [01:48] Apaxis: yeah, besides that post on the forum for a week ago, no one has posted an official bug so im dooing it [01:49] thanks jp_sf and vasi [01:49] AgentHeX: you can have multiple screens, so i'm not sure how you'd dump them all... [01:49] ill give it some time for a fix / suggestion, but I'll probably just install gentoo again [01:49] is 8.10 still supported? [01:49] vasi: i only have one screen session. [01:49] thanks [01:49] brian___: i would, keep checking back here too maybe someone else knows something about this [01:49] brian___, whats the problem? [01:49] AgentHeX: apparently 'C-a H' starts loggin [01:49] brian___: did you try installing from the live disk? [01:49] (according to the screen manpage) [01:49] vasi: it's detachd, and i can re-attach it, but i'd rather just dump the contents of it to a file. i want what is currently in the buffer. [01:50] Question - I booted up my PC and got grub error 18, which is "selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS." I rebooted not having an idea of what else to doa nd it booted fine. Why would I get this error and rebooting fix it?? [01:50] AgentHeX: oooh....that's a harder question :-( [01:50] wendy__d-_-b: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7210718 [01:50] AgentHeX: i think you can copy it and paste it, but i don't remember how [01:50] lemme check the man page [01:50] vasi: i need to get all of the stuff that i can't see above my window. [01:50] wendy__d-_-b: yeah, i've got 2, one when clicked opens my windows but when i go to install ubuntu, it doesnt show it on the partitions [01:50] Roasted: could be beginning of the descriptor going bad [01:51] n3glv_lap - Can you elaborate a little more on what you mean by the descriptor?

[01:51] media descriptor [01:51] brian___: there you go :p [01:52] n3glv_lap - media descriptor? I'm still not quite following you. [01:52] AgentHeX: k, look at the manpage....there's a part that mentions "This example demonstrates how to dump the whole scrollback buffer" [01:52] Apaxis: yah, but no workaround :( [01:52] btw, I friggin hate the removal of ctl+alt+bs to kill X [01:52] jp_sf - any idea why I would have been able to run 8.10 for months and it be fine, then upgrade to 9.04 and it run fine for 2 weeks and only now I get the error?? [01:52] AgentHeX: but note that by default, screen has a pretty small scrollback...so you may only get a few dozen lines, maybe a couple hundred [01:52] (found the fix for that one already) [01:52] Anscombe, are u on livecd now? [01:52] brian___: :( [01:52] <|v|aster> is there a GUI for adding a printer? this is my first time doing it [01:52] wendy__d-_-b: yes [01:52] and u see the partitions [01:53] Roasted: every hdd has a part from the factory where the geometry is described [01:53] Roasted: your BIOS forgot it's configuration ? could be the case if the battery of your motherboard is dead [01:53] when i share a folder via samba by right clicking the folder, goign to properties, and Share tab. Where is that information stored? It's not in /etc/samba/smb.conf [01:53] Anscombe, and when u click INSTALL and u get to the partitions are they there?

[02:23] I'm having some issues with an external (500gb ext2) and I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice. I rsync'd my data to my external and needed to restore it. I get "Stale NFS file handle" error when trying to copy it back. I did e2fsck that lasted over 24 hours, my dmesg reported I/O errors (http://pastebin.com/d10511920) so I killed it. I would like to get my data back and was wondering if anyone had any protips. [02:23] saiki: Sorry wrong person xD [02:23] How much space should i give the swap file [02:23] h00k : what do !flash | phantom_d-_-B do? [02:23] admin_masu3701: What browsser are you using? [02:23] so how to i get dvds to play? [02:23] Crash1hd: 1-2GB is good. [02:23] Crash1hd: If you plan on suspending your computer to disk you'll need at least as much ram as you have.

[02:24] like shadow98 said. [02:24] libbz-dev [02:24] sorry Pici [02:24] ok so if I give 3 gigs would be too much? [02:24] need it for this: http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-2373.html [02:24] Crash1hd: bit of a waste for normal usage, imho [02:24] kubuntu: firefox [02:24] Apaxis, thanks for the links [02:24] this is on a fresh install system..im trying to test backup and recover...so then i reload OS and try restore with tar -xvpzf /backup.tgz -C / [02:24] mzz: I have 3 gigs of ram [02:24] Crash1hd: No having to much swap space is never a problem because you cant. [02:25] Does anyone can point me to site explaining how to PROPERLY install ATI drivers for R700 card . Or it's not available yet. ? Thank you ! [02:25] Crash1hd: but if that's what the automatic partitioner suggests just let it do its thing [02:25] i then get this error....tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [02:25] saiki: Have you tried libbz2-dev? [02:25] Im in manual mode [02:25] Crash1hd: it won't hurt, but it's imho not likely the system will be usable if you run something that makes it use up 3 GiB of swap. [02:25] Kubuntu__, not yet [02:25] Crash1hd: 2GB is a good size to start with. [02:25] Apaxis, its most likely something with the video settings thats the issue.. tried counter-strike:source, left4dead, and COD 5 [02:25] Kubuntu__, I didn't know it existed lol [02:25] saiki: Sometimes it may work sometimes not. I did find results for libbz2-dev [02:26] Apaxis, I get to the first part of the single player game in left4dead.. almost.. [02:26] can someone help me, i've installed all the codecs necessary but still don't get video when trying to watch avis im vlc [02:26] loxety: all of the hl-based steam games are reported working on wine-reviews :p [02:26] Kubuntu__, here goes nothing lol [02:26] does the livecd not detect hard drives? I cant see any hdX# or sdX# drives in /dev [02:26] ice109: if "codecs" means "gstreamer codecs" then that won't help vlc, it doesn't use gstreamer [02:27] saiki: Whats your application for libbz2? [02:27] any word on the 2.6.28 dmraid issue? [02:27] aren't there any interest specific rooms on any servers? [02:27] saiki: Unzip bz app? [02:27] mzz: movieplayer doesn't play em either [02:27] mzz: what codecs does vlc need? [02:27] loxety: and winehq, left4dead cod4 all of them, some require a certain version of the game to run ie cod4, burt check out those sites its pretty easy to follow [02:27] Apaxis, yeah I've played it before.. several years ago. This is a new install of 9.04 [02:27] ice109: I don't know how ubuntu packages it, sorry. [02:27] After i upgraded to 9.04 I could not access Windows networks, as well the computer was not visiible out to the network until i restarted samba. Has anyone else had this issue? [02:27] ice109: (I don't know if there are separate codec packages you need to install) [02:27] mzz: the weird thing is i can see a thumbnail with the first frame [02:27] in the folder [02:27] Apaxis, Thank you [02:27] ice109: that's odd. I'd expect movie player (totem) to play them then. [02:27] Kubuntu__, ? [02:28] Kubuntu__, PCSX2 [02:28] ice109: there is a menu option that needs to be changed in vlc [02:28] ice109: afaik those thumbnails are generated through gstreamer, which is what totem uses. Might have to restart that after adding codecs. [02:28] saiki: Ohhhh! THAT! Ahahahha I remember trying to get that to work! [02:28] where can I see jaunty jackalope screenshots? [02:28] !screenshots [02:28] ice109: it's a well known thing, and you can google it [02:28] RHorse: what is it [02:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about screenshots [02:28] !screenshot [02:28] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button or the File -> Acquire menu in the GIMP. [02:28] :( [02:29] RHorse: for it to use gstreamer codecs or what? [02:29] jason8 - uh, its my name [02:29] I'm having an rsync problem... when I run the script, I get an error that "failed to set times on /media/storagebackup/jason - operation not permitted." I own the script, its owned by jason. And I execute it without sudo. Is that a problem?? I thought I remember it working before without sudo just fine.... [02:29] loxety: np, id like to see more people using linux as a gaming platform [02:29] Kubuntu__, and did you? [02:29] this tar backup was supposed to be nice and easy..but its a pain...any other backup methods for backing up whole system.... [02:29] mzz, have you ever installed the open source ATI driver?

Lot's changed since then. [02:30] jimi_hendrix: I installed ubuntu once, so yes :) [02:30] chuy_max: did you try gimp? [02:30] saiki: I think i got the app working but couldnt find the Bios file it needed [02:30] mzz, is it just me or do you never actually "install" something for it? [02:30] but just edit your xorg.conf [02:30] jimi_hendrix: it should be used automatically if appropriate. [02:30] http://omploader.org/vMW1qbg <-----jaunty jackalope screenshot. [02:30] does anyone know of a msn client that has webcam support???? [02:31] jimi_hendrix: what actual problem are you trying to solve again? Can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [02:31] amsn [02:31] yw [02:31] I'm trying to burn ubuntu... nero complains about that I only have a DVD-R, i need a CD-R/RW [02:31] Kubuntu__, you need a PS2 bios for it [02:31] lifeforce4: if I had 4 gigs or ram should I have 4 gigs of swap space cause I am planing on getting more ram [02:31] is there anyway to get past this? [02:31] Anyone know why when running Xubuntu from the CD it does not detect and mount the IDE HDD? [02:31] sedeki, go get a cd yw [02:31] RHorse: oh wow i can't believe it was that simple [02:31] saiki: I know, I own a ps2. [02:31] lifeforce4, not plugged it, yw [02:31] #c-o-m [02:31] Crash1hd: again, imho 2 GiB or so is more than sufficient [02:31] Apaxis, looks like if I turn off pixel shader support in wine config it plays css ok [02:31] umpop it is supposed to work with a dvd-r too [02:31] sedeki: i think you need Cd-r [02:31] ice109: been there,. done that :) [02:31] admin_masu3701, yes, I've tried it in the past :), I'm not very good with graphic design though [02:31] mzz, uhh sure...i am not sure if it will be there...its more just very laggy windows [02:32] Crash1hd: haha Not really 4GB of Swap would be a lot in my mind. And you probably wont susspend your sessions so I'd say 2GB. [02:32] Ya des français ici ? :p [02:32] !fr | hellvis [02:32] hellvis: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [02:32] ok :) [02:32] Crash1hd: oh, lifeforce4 has a point, if you intend to suspend/resume you may want a bit more swap [02:32] Kubuntu__, you couldn't dump yours? [02:32] #ubuntu-fr [02:32] * mzz always forgets about that one [02:32] hi all [02:32] mzz: is that so that you dont runn into any issues that way [02:32] Crash1hd: (it'll still suspend with less swap than you have ram as long as not all your ram is in use when you suspend) [02:32] saiki: I was looking for one online i was too lazy to deal with it any other way i was just bored one day scanning the repo's for new soft to try [02:32] sedeki, nero is ghey, try infrarecorder. [02:33] anyone knows how to get audio back on firefox flash? [02:33] umpop: It is plugged in I have the case open and other systems detect it yet when I do $mount I don't see /dev/hda# [02:33] sedeki, or just download the dvd version of bunters. [02:33] mzz: ok :) [02:33] that makes sense [02:33] lifeforce4, try dev /sd* [02:33] !flash [02:33] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [02:33] Crash1hd: more swap than ram really doesn't make sense if you have multiple GiB of ram imho, and less usually suffices [02:33] umpop: already tried that which is why I asked. [02:33] chuy_max: you can try somthin else [02:33] mzz: Your supposed to do your amount of ram in swap thats what is suggested 2gb ram = 2gb swap or so [02:34] Kubuntu__: "supposed" isn't really true imho [02:34] admin_masu3701, I'm looking forward to see some jaunty jackalope screenshots before I upgrade [02:34] mzz: Suggested, w/e I usually did about 4gb [02:34] Hiya ... i am upgrading from edgy to feisty and after update its giving Kernel Panic VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown block 0,0 ... please append a correct root= ... though its set to root=/dev/hda1 ...

[02:35] is there a way i can access or use my linux partion from windows vista [02:35] Dimensions: that sounds like grub isn't picking up the (right) initrd [02:35] lo could anyone help me out with alignment in conky? here's the screenshot.. http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n94/deziiii/z.png [02:35] in Jaunty, is there no longer the option to have "icons only" in the "task list"? Since the upgrade, I can no longer find that option. Am I just not looking in the right place? [02:36] admin_masu3701, yes, I barely use it now though. I love Linux for programming, but lately I've been very busy in work and school, I use Windows for work. [02:36] syntax\, try #conky [02:36] Hmm I installed windows on the first 20 gigs so in here it says that its /dev/sda1 ntfs <-- is that right? [02:36] and now swap is /dev/sda2 [02:36] Crash1hd, yep [02:36] for 2 gigs [02:36] I'm having some issues with an external (500gb ext2) and I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice.

[02:37] do I do another primary> [02:37] h00k: "stale nfs file handle" is a pretty weird error message if there's no nfs involved. Does dmesg show anything more useful?

[02:37] everyone's zzz :P @ umpop [02:38] can someone please help me with sound problems cause by flash player [02:38] Should I use Ext3 or Ext4? what is Ext4? [02:38] I'm looking for a terminal irc client with xdcc capabilities [02:38] admin_masu3701, ugh, that's not good, what problems are you having other than sound problems in flash? [02:38] cant hear sound when playing a video on youtube or other music site [02:38] how do i do that mzz ... it can only go to grub terminal ... can't access it otherwise .. [02:38] is there an app to remove duplicate images in a directory structure based on hashing? [02:39] chuy_max: system freezes, slow, compiz dont work [02:39] jimi_hendrix: at a glance that looks healthy (using ati's closed driver). Is it always slow or just with compiz (aka desktop effects) on? [02:39] Dimensions: do you have an ubuntu live cd around? [02:39] ok so [02:39] no sound in ubuntu [02:39] Imagine my surprise when connecting to a network printer is actually EASIER in Ubuntu 9.04 than in windows. Ubuntu automatically detects the network printer! [02:39] cant figure it out. i have a dell vostro 220 and i went through all the steps on forums etc for fixing it but still no sound what should i do [02:39] mzz, always [02:39] admin_masu3701, ughhh, I guess I will wait for a little bit more time, anyways I don't use it that often :p [02:39] mzz, before, it never was [02:39] ad [02:40] helpw flash audio anyone? [02:40] From what I am reading on wikipedia I should be using Ext4 any reason not too? [02:40] Crash1hd: ext4 is pretty new. [02:40] chuy_max: u use windows? PC sucks...lol.. [02:40] Crash1hd: well, its really new.... [02:40] Crash1hd: (meaning there may be bugs lurking that haven't been shaken out yet) [02:40] Hello, anyone know how to get BerkeleyDB set up? [02:40] Ahh right Like accessing it from windows [02:40] Crash1hd: you dont need to... [02:40] Crash1hd, there is a work around for that [02:40] jimi_hendrix: really still slow with desktop effects off? Is metacity compositing (I forgot if that's an option in your version of ubuntu)? [02:41] crash, ext3 is proven and reliable. If your just experimenting sure use ext4, if you have to rely on that thing, then I wouldnt chance it [02:41] i guess i want to remove all duplicates in a directory structure [02:41] Crash1hd: it's technically experimental. [02:41] Hello, anyone know how to get BerkeleyDB set up? [02:41] mzz ... i do BUT ... if that could boot i would have done fresh install ... its a Small form factor system.... 500MHz AMD ... and has problem with installation though once installed it works smoothly ... i had edgy server on it previously and was upgrading to feisty as i can install its gdm on it ... [02:41] ok :) I will stick with ext3 [02:41] mzz, i have no clue [02:41] bonhoffer, look into fdupes [02:41] admin_masu3701, well, I installed several programs for work for Windows that do not perform very good using wine, so I have to use Win [02:42] Dimensions: I'm not interested in using the livecd to install from, just to boot from. Are you low enough on ram that it won't boot off the livecd? [02:42] If i try adn view folder size via nautilus' properties dialogue (right click on folder + properties), it seems to give different results if im inside the folder versus out of the folder. [02:42] unop, will do -- do you know if it lets me look at pictures? [02:42] Is there any reason to break up partitions &or mount points or just put the rest under / ? [02:42] Crash1hd: it's technically experimental. [02:42] in particualr, if i right-click a particular folder and view its properties, it appears 5 gigs large, but if i enter the folder and select all the files, it says its 11 gigs large! [02:42] i've just lost sound in ubuntu, is there an easy way to diagnose why? speakers are turned on and volume is up an not muted [02:42] ext4 is experimental for ubuntu, but if i recall correctly several distros have made ext4 the standard filesystem for what its worth [02:42] chuy_max: ok i see.. [02:42] jimi_hendrix: which ubuntu was it again? Can you ask the channel if your version of metacity does or doesn't have a compositor? [02:42] alsamixer? [02:42] Sagaci:run "alsa-config" [02:42] bonhoffer, no, not really, it's a command line thing .. for a GUI app, I think gthumb has something [02:42] *mixer [02:42] brain-o there [02:42] mzz i believe 256 on this machine [02:42] unop, [02:42] unop, thanks [02:42] jimi_hendrix: and you could try the open driver, but I don't remember the right way to switch, sorry [02:43] wow, i knew something! [02:43] in Jaunty, is there no longer the option to have "icons only" in the "task list"? Since the upgrade, I can no longer find that option. [02:43] does 8.04 have metacity that has compositing? [02:43] How can I get localhost:400 to foward all traffic to otherhost:400 [02:43] mzz, i have an ubuntu guide i am following [02:43] Dimensions: do you remember if the livecd boots successfully? If it does you can mount partitions and pastebin from it [02:43] cuddlefish: in terminal? [02:43] Sagaci: Yep! [02:44] is there a way to restart pulseaudio i switched from kde to gnome now no sound [02:44] TheDJACR, you might have to config that via your router [02:44] mzz: livecd doesn't boot ... there are some issues with its graphic card and works fine once generic kernel is installed ... [02:44] cuddlefish: bash: alsa-config: command not found [02:44] Sagaci: I meant alsamixer [02:44] Should I just set the remainder of the drive to " / " or should I be splitting things up for /boot /home ect... [02:44] braino [02:44] mattgyver: I can't set ubuntu to redirect the traffic? [02:44] Dimensions: hmm, ok. Did you tab-complete the path to that initrd on the grub prompt?

Just mention my nick in here, I'll show up if I'm around [02:45] just "alsamixer" === rachel is now known as Guest57433 [02:45] mzz, ok [02:45] jimi_hendrix: (my client is connected pretty much 24/7 but I'm not always actually looking at it) [02:45] TheDJACR, you may be able to but I think the end all settings would still have to be configured to the router because its forwarding the traffic [02:45] i am going to bed, good night [02:45] mzz, same with mine [02:45] <_duncan> Has anyone had issues installing the nvidia drivers for dual GTX260s on Ubuntu 9.04? [02:45] cant get sound working in ubuntu. what should i do [02:45] alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [02:46] mattgyver: No. I want any traffic sent to 127.0.0.1:port to be relayed to another computer. [02:46] Like, a proxy. [02:46] anyone know how to reset amarok to all default settings, i cant seem to get the collections tab back on the screen [02:46] Oh, im not sure how to do that sorry :( [02:46] TheDJACR, can you ssh to the other computer ? === h8red is now known as javyn [02:47] unop: No, windows. [02:47] <_duncan> Anyone have experiance with Ubuntu 9.04 and GTX260s? [02:47] :p [02:47] is there anyway to mount an ISO file so that it appears as if it were from a CD or DVD device (so cd and dvd ripper programs will notice it/burn to it)? [02:47] i have a gtx280 is that helps [02:47] TheDJACR, maybe iptables can help you there then . [02:47] <_duncan> taget_: Sure, same driver script I am assuming [02:47] Hmm why does ubunto say that 1024mb = 1.9GB and not 2GB? [02:47] _duncan what do yo need to know [02:48] Crash1hd: it shouldn't even say 1.9gb.... 1024mb is 1 gib [02:48] Crash1hd, 1024MB is 1GB .. dunno where those figures come from [02:48] <_duncan> taget_: So I have attempted to install using the hardware drivers and it failed, and I am attempting to use http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=990978 to install using the download [02:48] ahh lol I ment 2048mb [02:48] <_duncan> taget_: Should I be worried about anything? [02:48] I'm having some issues with an external (500gb ext2) and I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice. I rsync'd my data to my external and needed to restore it. I get "Stale NFS file handle" error when trying to copy it back. I did e2fsck that lasted over 24 hours, my dmesg reported I/O errors (http://pastebin.com/d10511920) so I killed it. I would like to get my data back and was wondering if anyone had any protips. [02:48] How about this: I am running a subnet (192.168.2.1) off of my router. It can't access the SAMBA shares on (192.168.1.*). Any ideas/ [02:48] I'm having an rsync problem... when I run the script, I get an error that "failed to set times on /media/storagebackup/jason - operation not permitted." I own the script, its owned by jason. And I execute it without sudo. Is that a problem?? I thought I remember it working before without sudo just fine.... [02:48] for a file system, what exactly does a file swap mean? [02:48] mzz on / it lists initrd.img and on /boot it lists initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic .. initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic.bak and initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic-dpkg-bak ... [02:49] My typo :) I ment to say why does it say 2048mb = 1.9 GB [02:49] er sorry, a Linux Swap [02:49] _duncan did u try using the restricted driver for ubuntu ? [02:49] and not 2048mb = 2GB? [02:49] <_duncan> taget_: link? [02:49] <_duncan> taget_: What version are you running? [02:49] mazz when i try booting /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic it gives that kernel panic error ... though the file is there ... [02:49] _duncan lemme check [02:49] hello [02:49] * mzz mounts his ubuntu partition to check if /initrd.img is a symlink [02:49] does anyone know if this bug has been fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebluetooth/+bug/354389 [02:50] mibzzer15: swap is alternate ram. If your system runs out of aviable ram, it will start writing data to the harddrive the in swap area. swap is just ram thats on the harddrive, so of course its increadibly slow ram. [02:50] Crash1hd: Where does it say that? And it may be rounding up from 1023.9MB or something [02:50] _duncan im running 180.44 [02:50] oh ok thanks stealth [02:50] Dimensions: /initrd.img is a symlink. iirc grub can follow those just fine, but I don't remember if you can check where it points from the grub prompt [02:50] <_duncan> taget_: How did you install them? kill x11, install and then reboot? [02:50] Seeker`: it says it in the install partitiong stuff [02:50] mibzzer15: swap is nessesary for hibernation, btw. It is recommended to have half as much swap as you have ram. [02:51] Dimensions: have you tried with an actual initrd from /boot/ (the one matching the kernel you're trying to boot)? [02:51] ok [02:51] _duncan no its eaven easier than that, ill get you the link one sec [02:51] Dimensions: and does the output you get indicate the initrd is actually loaded successfully? [02:51] mibzzer15: sorry i meant twice as much swap, but its not really important to have that much if you dont hibernate [02:51] yeah mzz thats one is in /boot but gives kernel error ... [02:51] <_duncan> taget_: I wonder if it is my hardware, I am having such problems :-? [02:52] hi all [02:52] i recently upgraded to 9.04 and my vlc menu seems to be mangled...can someone help me [02:52] stealth its usually easier just to add more real ram, 4gb is now less than $50 [02:52] voss: I know, I was explaining swap to someone [02:53] hi got a question not strictly ubuntu but does anyone know a goood secure query event script for xchat? plz and ty [02:53] stealth, I would think if someone has more than 2gb of memory in ubuntu they may be better off not having a swap partition. [02:53] i recently upgraded to 9.04 and my vlc menu seems to be mangled...can someone help me [02:53] When I try to load ubuntu, i get this message along with many errors: "eth1: Failed to start the card." [02:54] yeah, 2x RAM is getting a bit silly now [02:54] is there a way to restart pulseaudio i switched from kde to gnome now no sound [02:54] voss: yeah, from what i've experienced. Except if you want to hibernate [02:54] hey whats up folks === CamargoBP is now known as CamargoBP|away [02:54] is there a way to restart pulseaudio i switched from kde to gnome now no sound [02:54] i have a quick question is it possible to disable Ipv6 in 9.04? [02:54] stealth perhaps ubuntu can create a hibernate partition that does not function as a swap [02:55] who knows alot about ubuntu herE? [02:55] omg [02:55] lol [02:55] it depends the prob [02:55] majnoon: system --> preferences --> sound [02:55] voss: im not sure, but that would be kinda pointless. then it would just be wasting space unless you hibernated, so why not have it as backup ram? [02:55] Zapper: Ask your question. [02:55] mjnoon: try to test sound and see which one work [02:55] Zapper: alot of us, ask your question and we will answer it if we can [02:56] stealth, in systems with SSDs they dont use swap files, so how do they hibernate? [02:56] Is it true that if i run virtualbox in ubuntu 9.04 windows will be faster? [02:56] Zapper: As opposed to what? [02:56] anyone know why openvz support removed from core in new ubuntu? [02:56] running straight windows [02:56] Zapper: No. That's not correct. [02:56] voss: they don't use swap? why not? I have had experience with someone once who had SSD's and the system would not entirely power off when he hibernated [02:57] ok [02:57] You're adding a layer of abstraction; best case you'll get minimal bottlenecking, but there'll be some. [02:57] hi got a question not strictly ubuntu but does anyone know a goood secure query event script for xchat? plz and ty [02:57] mzz: tried with backup'ed initrd ... and now the actual initrd goes upto running local boot scripts from rc.local and then black stops there ... its not hung but doing nothing .. [02:57] stealth, swap files cause a lot of rewriting on SSDs shortens the life of them . [02:57] Zapper: if anything it would be slower. Because your running two systems at the same time, not to mention the data has to go through ubuntu and be processed before it gets to windows [02:57] admin_masu3701, it workd for THAT but nothing else :( [02:57] cuddlefish: i killed pulseaudio and it fixed it [02:57] hi, i upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 by automatic update, but the x-session fail to start, what can i do? [02:57] KalebsRevenge: Ask #xchat [02:58] i did no response [02:58] hoymkot_: What error does it give in your logs? [02:58] majnoon: are you using AlSA? [02:58] I know world of warcraft in wine is faster than vista. [02:58] Second question, im administrating a internet cafe, they're running a windows server but i want to change. i want a linux based internet cafe management program, does anyone know of one that i could use; as windows is terribly insecure [02:58] KalebsRevenge: Ask your question and wait. :) [02:58] i think so [02:58] ive been there about half hour [02:58] Zapper: I don't know as I'd say that Windows is terribly insecure any more so than Ubuntu is; it depends on how you harden it. [02:58] Ok [02:59] Alot more people know how to exploit windows than ubuntu [02:59] that's what she said? [02:59] Zapper: Not if you patch, don't run services you don't absolutely need, etc. [02:59] Is there a setup that will install grub that will read an image from a file on an NTFS partition, or something like that? [02:59] The trick is to minimize attack surface. [02:59] charzero: Take a step back. What are you attempting to do? :) [03:00] ok no know what me do but it WORKING now :) [03:00] Ive never heard of a live Ubuntu virus. [03:00] voss: thats because linux cant get them [03:00] !virus | voss [03:00] voss: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [03:00] voss, it gets rid of windows [03:00] KB1JWQ: Install Ubuntu without breaking the existing Vista installation. [03:00] voss: No, but I HAVE heard of exploits for BIND, sendmail, apache, PHP, etc. :) [03:00] Not to mention the kernel itself. [03:01] not in the wild ... unlike windows 100,000 + viruses [03:01] those are patched very quickly in Linux [03:01] KB1JWQ: windows is more highly exploited. Not to mention its vunerable to attacks were there doesn't even have to be a attacker there [03:01] hi [03:01] !hi | Kubuntu__ [03:01] Kubuntu__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [03:02] Okay, Making sure it was working :D [03:02] The better question is "Why are you browsing from a server?" :) [03:02] Hello [03:02] linux may be vunerable to attacks but a successful attack on a linux machine typically does not cause the linux machine to become inoperable [03:02] saiki: Hey, net dropped [03:02] np [03:02] KB1JWQ: He can do whatever he wishes =p [03:02] voss: Neither does a successful attack on a Windows box, but... [03:02] coleys_: Fair enough. :) [03:02] voss: No, it just lets somebody read and delete everything in your home directory, which is everything important. [03:02] voss: um... same with windows there. The attacks are designed to keep the system operatable so the attack has power over a working machine :P [03:03] all high-value Linux systems should have A/V of some sort... because they are more likely to be targets... [03:03] Take any OS, and let a moron use it. It'll get owned sooner or later. :) [03:03] This is turning into a flame war, would everyone please stop it and focus on the channels purpose? [03:03] so how can we be of assistance?

I want to connect from my osx terminal to the ubuntu virtual machine using ssh (so i can dry run remote deployments) ... how do I figure out the ip of my virtual ubuntu machine? [03:04] ... [03:04] open a terminal and run netstat ? [03:04] nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 if that is the network you're on? [03:05] Kb1, Thats what Macs are for, people with no tech saavy. :) [03:05] melvinram, it should also be in the settings file for that vm [03:05] voss: I use one myself. Don't be too sure. :) [03:05] pornhub is fine [03:05] ifconfig <-- from the terminal will show your IP [03:06] Is it possible to put a ui tabs inside another ui tabs? I'm trying it now but its stuffing up. [03:06] and route -n will show what it goes thru to get out [03:06] Kb1, im not saying geeks dont own them im saying if you want to protect your network from the clueless let the get macs :) [03:06] manux: what?

When I run irw - I can see all the key presses. But then nothing happens when I open vlc or any other app... the remove does nothing... what am I doing wrong? [03:07] bonhoffer: if you don't mind a terminal tool, pdftk is capable of splitting pdf's etcetera [03:07] Crash1hd: congratz, remember to come here for questions and dont be afraid to ask :P [03:08] *the remote does nothing [03:08] stealth-: oh I wont :) but I do have google to ask too :) [03:08] nomasteryoda: i did netstat and it didn't give me anything that i can use [03:08] melvinram: What's the issue? :) [03:09] It outputs stuff like this: b8f1110 stream 0 0 0 5b48908 0 0 /tmp/.vbox-melvinram-ipc/ipcd [03:09] melvinram: Take a step back.

[03:11] It's likely a 192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8, or a 172.16.0.0/12 IP add [03:11] melvinram: Yes. [03:11] melvinram: note you'll only be able to connect from the host to the guest if the guest's network is not nat-style (this is configured in the virtualbox machine settings). See the virtualbox manual. [03:11] mzz: Not so, it'll also work in bridge mode. [03:11] KB1JWQ: exactly. bridge mode is not nat-style. [03:11] it gives an ip of 127.0.0.1 [03:11] Does rsync's "-a" function require root priviledges? [03:11] mzz: It'll work NAT style; the host and guest share a common network. [03:12] Does that seem reasonable? [03:12] KB1JWQ: the version of virtualbox I'm looking at gives me 4 options there, with the default being nat, not bridged.

[03:21] choose the ntfs drive from places menu.. [03:22] TX-Dan: it is for me =) [03:22] IndyGunFreak: ummmmm [03:22] Purechaos, yes [03:22] coleys, I'm in media production, we go through those like candy ;) HD tech needs to move faster :D [03:22] Crash1hd: Anyways try a fresh install, if it fails again we'll trouble shoot =p [03:22] Crash1hd: does it sound like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-26741.html [03:22] S.O.S. I have KVM on ubuntu, but when i open Virtual Machine Manager, the virtualization method is Greyed. Therefore I cant add or see the CD. What is wrong? [03:22] mibzzer15: its probably not 100% necessary.. whats the specs of your PC? [03:22] TX-Dan: Candy terabytes Mmmmm. [03:22] coleys: hahah [03:22] hmm ntfs didn't automount [03:23] melvinram, KB1JWQ: I'm pretty sure that you need to explicitly forward ports in VirtualBox if you use "NAT" as network type and want to connect from the host to the guest (not vice versa). See section 6.4.1 (Configuring port forwarding with NAT) in the virtualbox manual. [03:23] TX-Dan, 1gb external $119 [03:23] iliketofrolic666: sudo apt-get install ntfs-config [03:23] ntfs-3g [03:23] i dont know by heart, im in the ubuntu install right now [03:23] mzz: Yes, but only if you want external hosts to hit that port. You can hit the NATted network from the host easily. :) [03:23] mibzzer15: do you know how much ram it has? [03:23] 1gb maybe [03:23] hello people [03:23] coleys: thanks installing now [03:23] i picked the wrong place in the setup, and now ubuntu is playing with my bios clock! how do i make ubuntu realize i'm from GMT -6 and NOT Africa? [03:23] voss, huh? [03:23] i got a question [03:23] melvinram: Make sure that SSHD is listening, and port 22 is open in your iptables config. [03:24] Oops I meant 1 tb external $119 :) [03:24] my audio doesnt work when i watch youtube, [03:24] bobstro: exactly like that [03:24] mibzzer15: are you setting up a traditional dual boot system, or are you still trying to install to an external drive? [03:24] can't uninstall mpd, dit with synaptic, did sudo apt-get autoremove --purge mpd, nothing doesit ?? [03:24] KB1JWQ: I really can't, at least not on this system, running VirtualBox 2.2.2, and the virtualbox manual agrees with me (see the section I just mentioned). Are you sure you tried this in virtualbox, and are connecting from the host to the guest (the guest talking to the host's sshd will work just fine, obviously)? [03:24] Crash1hd: seems a reinstall would get same result, or? [03:24] voss, yea just bought 2 the other day, only problem is 1TB is only backup for 3 clients projects [03:24] iliketofrolic666: Np :) It'll be located at Sys > Administation > Ntfs Config (Check the drive you want to automount, then enter it's name where you can enter text, like Vista or w/e) [03:24] KB1JWQ: well before we get to iptables, i need to figure out what the ip of the virtual machine is [03:24] IndyGunFreak: external [03:24] 1.5 gb seagate internals are going for $129 on newegg [03:24] mibzzer15: ok.. [03:24] mzz: melvinram is right. Let's take a step back first. :) [03:25] anyone? [03:25] melvinram: Paste the output of ifconfig to a pastebin, please. From the guest. [03:25] i picked the wrong place in the setup, and now ubuntu is playing with my bios clock! it's screwing my computer up and i had to go through TEN AUTO-FSCKS because of this! [03:25] TX-Dan: voss: Can you take the harddrive price discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic or somewhere similar please? [03:25] voss, yea but maxtor guts...fail a lot more than they used to =( I can't lose a backup of a clients 20,000 project. [03:25] Crash1hd: there's several posts on the forums archives that sound similar [03:25] melvinram: make sure you reconfigure to nat (and reboot the guest) before doing so. [03:25] bobstro: coleys can I set the /boot to load on its own partition? [03:25] thats another prob... copy paste doesn't work [03:25] I would like to design a schematic and pcb what is the recommended software? [03:25] mibzzer15: justso you know, everytime i've only done that one time, but i had to use the alternate install cd.. and the OS was slow.. don't know if it was because of the USB bus speed, or what [03:25] in the guest machine [03:25] TX-Dan: i have a supposively dead maxtor drive :( [03:25] Seeker`, Sure thing, sorry about that. [03:25] neil_d, pcb is? [03:26] IndyGunFreak: ok thx [03:26] melvinram: if you have the guest reconfigured to nat you should be able to just pastebin from completely inside the guest, no need for host <-> guest copy/paste [03:26] melvinram: ifconfig | pastebinit will return a result. [03:26] Crash1hd: that shuold work, yes. just pointing out some of the detail there. i had something similar a couple of years ago. [03:26] mibzzer15: i still think you'd be better off, using that external drive to backup files, etc.., then just partition your drive like normal people. [03:26] Crash1hd: im not to sure about non guided installs, I wouldn't be the best person to ask. I know software, and config... Not the other stuff =p [03:26] mzz: i'm running ubuntu server so it's not giving me a gui [03:26] unop: ok I will give it a try. [03:26] melvinram: what KB1JWQ said [03:26] ok going to try and modify the boot dir :) [03:26] i picked the wrong place in the setup, and now ubuntu is playing with my bios clock! it's screwing my computer up and i had to go through TEN AUTO-FSCKS because of this! i'm in irssi so its hard to see your message, so please try to make it easy to notice [03:27] Crash1hd: Good luck with that =) Maybe you'll teach me in the future =p [03:27] seems to be that my bios / ubuntu somewhere doesnt like the boot drive being on a 900gig drive [03:27] when the stuff on my screen is mostly black my monitor dims. is this a hardware of software issue? [03:27] k let me try that [03:27] So the next question is what size should /boot be ???? [03:27] Crash1hd: I usually give it 100 to 200 megs. [03:28] Crash1hd: 100MiB is usually plenty imho [03:28] racecar56, typing /lastlog racecar56 should show you any message people type to you , assuming they put your nick first [03:28] mzz: Does Ubuntu like to keep older kernels around after updates? [03:28] i cant get WOL to work.. broadcom BCM5782 [03:28] I've had /boot fill up on Fedora like that. [03:28] zeno: are you sure it isn't just because it is mostly black; with black being a darker colour than the rest of them? [03:28] mzz: KB1JWQ ok :) any reason to do 200 mb over 100? [03:28] KB1JWQ: I'm not sure (I'm not even in ubuntu currently, and my actual /boot isn't mounted in my ubuntu install) [03:28] Crash1hd: Depends on if Ubuntu keeps older kernels around that'll fill up /boot. [03:28] coleys: :) lol I am a fast learner :) [03:29] KB1JWQ: actually, iirc it does unless you wipe them [03:29] KB1JWQ: (uninstall the old packages, that is) [03:29] I'm new to Ubuntu this week, but I've done Linux / Unix for five years. [03:29] http://pastebin.com/f35102a73 [03:29] I'm using xubuntu 8.04, and want to create a forum. Not expecting a lot of users.. any tips here? I've got apache installed, but not sure where to go from there.. on windows 2k3, I installed PHP and MySQL and what not, it was pretty easy. [03:29] coleys: is writing to NTFS from linux safe? [03:29] mzz: KB1JWQ ahh ok :) I can give it 200mb :) just for the hell of it :) [03:29] iliketofrolic666: using ntfs-3g: yes. Iirc ubuntu uses that one by default to mount ntfs [03:29] Soviet_Bob: Same theory. Those same things work better (read as: natively) under Linux. [03:30] !lamp | Soviet_Bob (start with this then look into installing phpbb forums once you do all that [03:30] Soviet_Bob (start with this then look into installing phpbb forums once you do all that: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [03:30] iliketofrolic666: I've had no problems, just don't delete windows system files =p [03:30] mzz: If that's true, that's FANTASTIC. I'm tired of ntfs being read only by default. [03:30] Soviet_Bob: obviously use the package manager to install them, don't go downloading tarballs off php.net etc [03:30] why when download a large file, does it stop other things using the internet like firefox? [03:30] mibzzer15: here's an easy setup... i forgot to just capture the gparted window, but there's my partition setup on my laptop.. its really easy to partition a drive, and you'll have a lot less "issues"... [03:30] Thank you. *tried sudo apt-get install php, and it couldn't find it* [03:30] neil_d: It shouldn't, but it might slow things down. [03:30] KB1JWQ: pretty sure I didn't do anything special to get ntfs mounted readwrite using ntfs-3g in ubuntu 8.04, but it's been a while [03:30] mibzzer15: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j263/IndyGunFreak/partition.jpg [03:31] mzz: Yeah, the default ntfs in other distros' kernels isn't ntfs-3g, so it's read only. Nice job on Ubuntu's part. [03:31] Hmm should /boot be before or after the swap? [03:31] whos good wtih rsync? Does rsync with the -a switch need root to run? [03:31] Crash1hd: if in doubt put it before [03:31] and I see why thanks to that link! [03:31] Roasted, yes if you want to preserve permissions .. which is what -a does. [03:32] KB1JWQ: the download is going fine, but firefox can load pages. [03:32] hello all [03:32] i'm really mad because ubuntu is changing my bios clock, and ubuntu thinks it is 2:32 AM! i REALLY want to fix this.... [03:32] unop - Hm, that explains a lot then. Do you happen to know, or have a link of some sort, if there is anything else besides the -a switch that requires root permissions just so I know?

Learning Visual basic and C++ coding. [03:43] And racecar56, what is the output of "date"?

[03:46] barqers: it has to be run as root [03:46] barqers, if this is a desktop system and LInux is installed, you can just swap the cable [03:46] anyone know how i can get grep, or whatever text editor, to delete everything after a given column on every line of a text file? [03:46] racecar56: Its a key, with the windows logo on it. [03:46] mzz: he doesnt even have grub yet bro [03:46] Apaxis: he's running that off the livecd [03:47] mzz: he wants to replace M$ MBR with grub [03:47] RHorse: you can't do file level restores with it can you..and it takes exact image...like i have a 40gb drive...and it makes the image file almost 40 gb.. [03:47] felixsulla, k... [03:47] KB1JWQ, it only stalls when I'm scp'ing from my laptop to another device. Download works fine [03:47] running what off? [03:47] nomasteryoda: True, however it won't even let me install grub on the linux partition lol. it's completely whack [03:47] Apaxis: Okay, I will try that, thank you! [03:47] hi folks! [03:47] RedSocrates, date says "Tue May 5 02:47:29 WET 2009" WRONG [03:47] mzz: okay, I believe it's hd1,1. I'll go try that now, thank you! [03:47] When i try to do the update feature on ubuntu i get an error, 403 forbidden. But when I put the link in a browser i can download it fine. [03:47] racecar56: But does hwclock --localtime still give the correct output? [03:48] shadow98: there are gui backup solutions but I'm not up on them. You could try linuxappfinder.com [03:48] grub doesnt install on a partition, it installs to the Master Boot Record [03:48] oh hope it works for him [03:48] Is it possible to install Hardy 8.04.2, using the installer from 8.10 ? [03:48] Apaxis, yup [03:48] apot: try "cut -c-20 < somefile" [03:48] RedSocrates, Mon 04 May 2009 09:47:56 PM WET -0.757533 seconds yes, with and without --localtime... [03:48] RedSocrates, it's right... [03:48] but will install on the first drive it sees as the boot drive... sda1's mbr [03:48] RHorse: i am looking for command line only....i am doing bare system..just the essentials... [03:48] shadow98, ubuntu alternate CD [03:49] sebas891, no [03:49] nomasteryoda: i know, just explaining to this guy, hes trying to install grub to his mbr [03:49] racecar56: what would that be [03:49] or... anyone, is aware on how to install ubuntu 8.04.2 with the module partman-auto-raid [03:49] is there a way i can do the update of my ubuntu from terminal? [03:49] shadow98, command line ubuntu [03:49] racecar56: Open /etc/default/rcS and find the line that says "UTC=" [03:49] Apaxis, i know... [03:49] racecar56: What does it say after the = sign? [03:49] mzz: trying it, thanks [03:49] gahh why doesn't it jus work [03:50] RedSocrates, UTC=no [03:50] TonyTheTiger: if you're blocked by proxy, i don't see how doing it from terminal is gonna make a difference [03:50] eseven73: there is no aways around? you know the reason why it's not possible? [03:50] racecar56: Change it to yes, reboot, and see what happens. If it doesn't work, you can change it back to no. [03:50] IndyGunFreak, I have configured both GUI and Terminal for proxy although terminal works better. [03:50] melvinram: junk in junk out :) [03:50] racecar56, i got that part i am just installing server edition...with openssh server..and then apache and mysql...that is all i need for now.. [03:51] sebas891, not enough room on a cd to fit all the Ubuntu installs on them is my guess [03:51] RHorse: huh? [03:51] Im not block, its just ubuntu doesnt work too well with recieving internet through proxy [03:51] blocked* [03:51] TonyTheTiger: i'm not sure how to upgrade via terminal.. i'm sure it can be done, just not sure how. [03:51] can anyone help, scp with large files stalls everytime [03:51] IndyGunFreak, isn't it just "sudo apt-get upgrade" [03:51] or dist-upgrade [03:52] droopy-ze-dog: i think you have to do some changes to your source list for that to work [03:52] droopy-ze-dog, is this for installing updates to the os? [03:52] eseven73: I'm using a netboot install with preseed, ( I want to have a full automated install) with raid :) [03:52] melvinram, did you look through this kind of post? http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=148 [03:52] the vboxmanage should help out [03:53] sebas891, raid is way out of my league, you'll have to ask someone else about that, best of luck to you though :) [03:53] nomasteryoda: i haven't but i'm reading it now [03:53] TonyTheTiger, that's for upgrading to a newer version of the OS. [03:53] well whatever happens, iv invoked the sudo apt-get upgrade. [03:53] the same things apply melvinram to the current version [03:53] either itll break the os or do something nice. [03:53] RedSocrates, its wrong [03:53] melvinram: at a glance what nomasteryoda linked to is the same port forwarding setup described in the manual I linked to [03:53] racecar56: Still the same as before? [03:53] RedSocrates, ya [03:54] eseven73: thanks! I keep on searching. I was able to get it working on 8.10 but I want it on 8.04.2 for the lts [03:54] RedSocrates, so vim out the UTC=yes and turn it into no? [03:54] droopy-ze-dog: dd over netcat do the same thing? [03:54] mzz, yup... hope that is described a little simpler on that linked page... and it has a tunneling link howto as well [03:54] racecar56: I guess so. It seems not to affect anything [03:54] * mzz nods [03:54] KB1JWQ, not sure what you mean [03:55] i am hoping to set up my computer so i can tunnel to it over https and run all my apps -- secure from public wifi -- any guides? [03:55] in Jaunty, is there no longer the option to have "icons only" in the "task list"? Since the upgrade, I can no longer find that option. [03:55] I just reinstalled ubuntu and I'm trying to get Hulu and such working again. Any ideas how to get most of the streaming sites to work? I am installed flash but it doesn't seem to work. [03:55] bonhoffer: might want to use ssh for that [03:55] IndyGunFreak: now I am getting a GRUB error 18 [03:56] nickolaus: install v. 10 from adobe site. [03:56] mibzzer15: i tried to tell you [03:56] mzz, ssh is blocked from some wifi [03:56] (at work) [03:56] ah [03:56] not sure then, sorry [03:56] Okay folks, a friend of mine has a severe graphics problem on her computer, and it's in a virtually unusable state. I'm trying to help her troubleshoot, and found out that the xorg.conf was generated by a program called "defconf". How is this program invoked, and is it simple enough for someone with little command-line experience to use? [03:56] racecar56: Are you using GNOME? [03:56] nickolaus; amd64? [03:56] IndyGunFreak: other than being like that, what can I do to fix it? [03:56] RedSocrates, yes [03:56] ZauberExonar: debconf, not defconf, probably? [03:56] bonhoffer: It's your server? Then why not bind SSH to a port that isn't 22? [03:56] mibzzer15, because the grub is not finding the /boot/grub/menu.list which is over on the windows drive's mbr [03:56] That'll get past most things. [03:56] defconf [03:56] RedSocrates, i have KDE also... but at the moment om on gnome [03:56] mzz & nomasteryoda: port forwarding doesn't seem like a good idea since i'll need those ports on my machine as well. I think i'm just going to fck it and put off this task since it's not mission critical. maybe i'll try parallels or fusion or something. [03:57] mibzzer15: like what? [03:57] RedSocrates, *i'm [03:57] KB1JWQ, yes, that is what i want to do [03:57] racecar56: Have you tried rightclicking on the clock and choosing "Adjust Time & Date" and going through all that again? [03:57] melvinram: no need to forward port 22 on the guest to 22 on the host... [03:57] use ssh over 443 [03:57] IndyGunFreak: like the I told you so thing [03:57] melvinram, those will still need to portforward.... [03:57] racecar56: Also, does it say there whether the clock is set to UTC or localtime? [03:57] mibzzer15: well i did... [03:57] the question is how to do it [03:57] bonhoffer: On the server, set ssh to listen to an alternat port in sshd_config [03:57] mibzzer15: and honestly, i don't knwo how to fix it.. investigate grub errors, and try to go from there.. i told you how to do it right [03:57] Restart SSH. [03:57] melvinram: you can just forward 22 on the guest to something like 2222 on the host, after which pointing ssh to hostsip:22 gives you the host's sshd, and hostsip:2222 gives you the guest's [03:57] You're done. :) [03:57] That's what I do all the time.

[03:58] platius not an amd processor but yeah, 64bit install.

[04:11] admin_masu3701: amd64 or i386? [04:11] hi everyont [04:11] shankel: Good job :D [04:11] etzerd: hi [04:11] detchen: 64 [04:11] shankel: YEAH! [04:11] barqers, did you say windows vista is in /dev/sda1? [04:11] if i run Sudo apt-get upgrade will it automatically install 9.04? [04:11] flash was working fine til last night [04:11] Is there no longer the option to have "icons only" in the "task list"? Since the upgrade, I can no longer find that option. [04:12] barqers, because if that's the case, it should say hd0,0 in menu.lst [04:12] hey everyone...couple of minor issues. First I wanted to know what the default patch switches are for applying patches to Ubuntu src packages...and the second thing is some weirdness with the repo which I figured you might want to know about. [04:12] shankel>welcome [04:12] admin_masu3701: find out where your plugin directory(s) resides, get libflashplayer.so, and copy it to that directory(s) [04:12] thanks! :) I've got it setup as a dual boot with windows. Does anyone know how to setup GRUB so that it will automatically boot to my windows partition rather then Ubuntu? I'd like to keep it that way for a while until I get more used to Ubuntu [04:12] sebsebseb: can you tell me the website that I can donwload codecs and some other restricted for Ubuntu? someone tell me last week and I forget the address [04:12] Wolfcastle: Yes, this is the output of fdisk -l: http://pastebin.com/m6c24c822 [04:13] medibuntu repo ? [04:13] etzerd: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and yeah midibuntu [04:13] HollywoodJumper : no you need to upgrade Intrepid to joaunty ? [04:13] just to make sure guys, the text based "alternate cd" is the "alternate cd" correct? [04:13] HollywoodJumper : no you need to upgrade Intrepid to jaunty ? [04:13] yes thanks [04:13] barqers, ok then you need to change root for windows vista in your menu.lst [04:13] barqers, it says hd0,1 in your post [04:14] Wolfcastle: Okay, let me try (hd0,0) but when I click vista in the grub menu, I don't get an error, it says loading grub2 and then goes back to the grub menu. [04:14] NOtanExpert;admin_masu3701; http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-flash-not-working-after-jaunty-upgrade-64bit.html you might check here [04:14] HollywoodJumper: to upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade but do some readings before [04:14] what about 8.04 is that intrepid or hearty heron? [04:14] I had some sort of weird crash a bit back and the kernel had to get reinstalled...linux_2.6.27-11. That in itself wasn't a huge drama, but now I need to re-add the nvidia binary driver for my video card, which I can't do because I haven't been able to get hold of the source for that particular kernel build from synaptic. Although I downloaded the orig file and the diffs from the web, and I'm about to try and patch the source myself. [04:14] hi guys, I have ubuntu 9.04 and the virtual consoles were working before on 9.04 but now they only show a blinking cursor, what could've caused this problem ? [04:15] is it safe to kill -9 update-manager? it seems stuck for the past hour... [04:15] HollywoodJumper: thats hardy heron [04:15] barqers, that's weird since according to fdisk hd0,1 shouln't even exist [04:15] Mood try it. The worst that will prolly happen is you being dumped out to gdm, or having to reboot. [04:16] HollywoodJumper: so if you want to upgrade to 9.04, you'll have to go 8.04 to 8.10, then 8.10 to 9.04 [04:16] Wolfcastle: My thoughts exactly, but with grub> setup (hd0,1) it says it succeeds. [04:16] jp_sf>so do i want to upgrade to intrepid from hardy? [04:16] is there a proper name for the output you see from a program when you run it from the command line? the trace? standard output? ... [04:16] HollywoodJumper: you don't just want to, you have to.. you can't go from Hardy to Jaunty [04:17] Wolfcastle: I'll reboot and try (hd0,0) [04:17] Hey folks. Admitted newbie to Ubuntu--I just installed 8.10 and can set screen resolution greater than 800 x 600 [04:17] greg_: what graphics device? [04:17] IndyGunFreak>ok , but what is the benefit of upgrading to 8.10 from 8.04? [04:18] HollywoodJumper: same benefit as upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04.. updated packages, bug fixes, etc. [04:18] Trident Cyberblade... I found the driver with Synaptics [04:18] greg_: what is the device? [04:18] IndyGunFreak>so do i need to back anything up if i upgrade? [04:19] HollywoodJumper: that would be wise in case something goes wrong. [04:19] Trident microsystems Cyberblade XPA.1 rev 82 [04:19] I have ubuntu 9.04 and the virtual consoles were working before ,but for some reason now they only show a blinking cursor, what could've caused this problem ? [04:19] IndyGunFreak>what if i dual boot? [04:19] greg_: do you know what chipset that is?.. never heard that one. [04:19] HollywoodJumper: still a good idea to backup.. "just in case" [04:19] I just upgraded to Jackalope. Performance is excellent when running on battery power. Pluggin in the AC power runs CPU usage up to well over 90%. Suggestions? [04:20] Intel, I think. Itś on a Toshiba laptop [04:20] Wolfcastle: It says "Starting... Grub loading stage2" then retreats to the grub menu again [04:20] Nothing happens. [04:20] thanks guys think that worked great :) [04:20] IndyGunFreak>could my upgrade to 8.10 affect my other partition with windows om it? [04:20] I have the hardy version of Ubuntu Desktop installed on my machine, how can I install samba server on it? [04:20] hold on and Iĺl lspci again. [04:20] barqers: sounds like gnome or kde is fubar [04:20] HollywoodJumper: it probably wouldnt effect your windows partition, but if you have a problem and can't boot. [04:21] jawall: Hm, is there anything I can do about this? cause it's either I have only windows boot up, or linux, cause I have a vista repair MBR cd, but then I can't use linux anymore. [04:22] VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1 (rev 82) [04:22] barqers, sorry I don't know what's wrong...that grub configuration should work [04:22] sorry if I missed it - any ideas on setting up the default boot loader that comes with Ubuntu to automatically start windows after no activity for 10 secs rather then Ubuntu? [04:22] ha sanyone her ever messed around with FREEBSD? [04:22] Anyone know why CPU usage goes up to max when the AC is plugged into the maptop? [04:23] sez itś VGA but it is SVGA. other OS supports to 1200 x 768 or greater [04:23] Yeah, freebsd guy here [04:23] shankel, you can configure that in menu.lst [04:23] jawall: chances are your power driver is messed [04:23] shankel: boot into Linux, and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst ... there's an entry there for the default. Bear in mind that the first entr is zero, and the line dividers it prints count in the numbering. [04:23] jawall>what kinds of stuff can i do with freebsd? [04:23] !samba [04:23] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [04:23] how would I set up a script to check if a drive is mounted first, and if it is, THEN rsync to it? [04:24] SAMBA! [04:24] shankel, and make sure timeout is 10 [04:24] Samba is a PINTA [04:24] PINTA! [04:24] elite - it's really not, especially if you use a GUI to set up your shares. [04:25] Roasted I am bui I can't get the GUI installed [04:25] sudo apt-get install system-config-samba [04:25] its simple, very few features, but it gets the job done [04:25] sets up users, shares, permissions, etc [04:25] only thing I manually added to the smb.conf was force group. That simple gui did everything else fo rme. [04:25] thanks - I would do that all from the terminal application? [04:26] could notfind package [04:26] I need some help configure /etc/resolv.conf on my server. Can anyone give me a hand? I'm trying to use freedns.afraid.org, and I'm boggled because it won't work.

[05:11] andresinix: many sound cards have independent volume controls for headphones vs speakers these days. make sure it isn't just muted [05:11] andresinix...don't go there...if I start comparing Ubuntu and Slackware, I'll get banned from this channel. ;) [05:11] gabriel84: You can also get... sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:11] gabriel84: To customize your effects, and enable more =) [05:11] andresinix: try typing alsamixer in terminal [05:11] bc: because most sane people don't want to run vista on a netbook pretty much all of them stick to those limits, even if it makes sense to exceed some of them (like storage or ram) [05:11] any good substition for minicom? [05:12] coleys: sounds good [05:12] ok so who can help me quit a program that pops up again after i close it in a never ending circle?? [05:12] mzz: you're not running the devil os on that thing are you??? [05:12] I have a question: I'm trying to get my sound working, I have an onboard Realtek ALC888 being output via SPDIF (optical) to my speakers. Right now I can only play one sound at a time from them (i.e. rhythmbox, the sound tester, or flash videos all work, but only one at a time). Can someone help me? === j_ack_ is now known as j_ack [05:12] bc: I don't own a netbook, but I looked around a bit a while ago, to see if I might ever buy one [05:12] DJvRadio: Sys > Admin > System Monitor ... Kill the program. [05:12] minicom: ../iconv/loop.c:430: internal_utf8_loop_single: Assertion `inptr - bytebuf > (state->__count & 7)' failed. <-- anyone knows whats the problem with this im using USB-to-RS232 converter, and i have /dev/ttyUSB0 [05:13] Hey guys, (I have to admit a part of me is a bit embarrassed) I just wanted to know how well Ubuntu 9.04 ran on the new Macbook Pro? Are there any driver issues? Does everything (hardware wise) work well? What about the trackpad and gestures? Thanks [05:13] Hi [05:13] thank you coleys [05:13] ralmars: Try the liveCD [05:13] mzz: ah. do they sell barebones netbooks? [05:13] ral...don't you have OSX for a Macbook? [05:13] bc: but basically this means it's really hard to find a system that just barely exceeds those maximum specs that allow manufacturers to ship xp (they're either right at the limit or well over it so it can run vista comfortably) [05:13] how does this irc work [05:13] mzz: if that even makes any sense? [05:13] coleys, and petrus I havent bout a macbook pro yet... have never had a mac... ever... [05:13] Its odd you would think that something that has a link inside system would have the gk in the shortcut [05:13] bc: not sure what you mean there [05:14] bc: They're mostly all barebones. [05:14] ralmars: if your buying a mac book pro for ubuntu, I wouldn't suggest it =p macs are expensive. [05:14] mzz: why the xp vs vista? would you be using either one of them? [05:14] bc: I would not, but most people purchasing a system are, so that's what they're built for [05:14] ralmars...when you buy one, Apple will probably give you a copy of OSX...and if they do, rejoice. It's FreeBSD based, with a nice shiny interface. ;) [05:15] hey............................ [05:15] <|dthacker|> ho............ [05:15] ralmars: MBPs are nice, but pray you don't get one with any pixel problems. [05:15] whats goin guys.. ? [05:16] how much is different from ubuntu server & debian? [05:16] Hmm seems that it has my moniters backwards argh [05:16] bc did that happen to you? I suppose apple would fix it free of charge though [05:16] hi i upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 i386 to 9.04 64 bit and was wondering why my windows close slower, my virtualbox doesn't work as well in seamless and programs run slower than before [05:16] mzz: re, barebones, I was just speaking about buying your own ram and hdd or whatever else. barebones usually means it comes with the mainboard and processor [05:16] Crash1hd: set them as twins? [05:16] bc: Get the cheapest they offer, throw that stuff in after the fact. [05:16] i was recommended before to use i386 but did fresh install i have amd 64 x2 turion processor [05:16] For a $200 machine, it works. [05:17] bc: something like that's an option, yes (just upgrading storage and ram). Screen size is a bit icky. [05:17] tgr: Definitly use amd64. To get the max potential out of your computer. [05:17] ralmars: I have a really annoying stuck 'on' pixel close to the center of a $3k 17" glossy MBP and Apple has minumum dead pixel policy [05:17] is there a way to enable switching out of full screen windows, such as sauerbraten? [05:17] bc: most of the laptops with a nice large screen are a bit over the top as far as other specs (gpu, cpu, etc) goes [05:17] in gnome ^ [05:18] coleys but lately everything is running slower and when i minimize windows in virtualbox i still see small parts of them sometimes [05:18] in seamless [05:18] * stealth- hates all the virtual box chat today :( [05:18] stealth...virtual box? [05:18] tgr: Your not going to get the best performance in a virtual box =p no matter what you use. [05:18] this is a general computer question not just virtual box [05:18] anyone know how to turn off visual effects from the command line? [05:19] Petrus: yeah... its been mentioned so many times today [05:19] ralmars: OS X is very nice though. [05:19] no compared to runnning 8.04 i386 before my computer is running slower coleys [05:19] sudo apt-get remove compiz :o jk jk [05:19] syborg ps -ef | grep compiz and then kill -9 [05:19] Petrus: thanks [05:19] tgr: Running vista? [05:19] anyone here able to help with a grub error 2? [05:19] you will prolly need to log out if you do that tho...compiz doesn't like being killed. ;) [05:19] i have to run virtual box to get gotomypc working as well as my brokers trading platform [05:20] no i gave up that drug as soon as i got my computer coleys [05:20] how speedup the time it takes to display a character when I hold a key for a few seconds? [05:20] tgr: oh.. xp via virtual box? [05:20] windows 2000 via virtual box [05:20] runs pretty darn fast [05:20] tgr: There's other emulators, like vmware, and qemu you could give a try. [05:20] owen1: System>Preferences>Keyboard [05:21] cario dock sucks [05:21] DJvRadio: Avant window navigator =) [05:21] ya i got it [05:21] coleys this isn't a virtual box question this is a general question as to why since upgrading my computer is running programs slower and things are choppy when i do my chart work with wine emulator [05:21] DJvRadio: sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator [05:21] Qwell: thanks. do u know the terminal way of doing it? [05:21] owen1: gnome-keyboard-preferences [05:21] but i accedentl clicked on it and it would not go away [05:21] Hey guys, I have a question. If I have a path divided with, cut -d" " how can I select the last form? [05:22] tgr: did you do a complete version upgrade, like from 8.10 to 9.04? [05:22] tgr: Oh. I see, do you have your graphics drivers? If sooo... are you ATI?> [05:22] is there a way to enable switching out of full screen windows, such as sauerbraten? [05:22] i got it already [05:22] can anyone tell me what is a good voip for ubuntu if any? [05:22] lstarnes fresh install [05:22] if I know the amount of fomrs [05:22] HollywoodJumper: Skype? [05:22] Urik: "select the last form"? [05:22] coleys i have nvidia graphics drivers when i run glxgears everything is ship shape [05:22] HollywoodJumper: ekiga is default [05:22] hi guys, i have a q regarding xorg + multiple nvidia cards. I have two nvidia cards in my pc, 8500gt with dvi and vga port, and a 6100 with vga port. question is how can I get 3x screens working (nvidia restricted drivers) - I can get 2x working with a bit of hackery in the config. the nvidia-settings app thing does not detect any screen connected to the 6100, nor what's on the vga port of the 8500. [05:22] skype works on ubuntu as well [05:22] Urik: can you give an example input and desired output? [05:23] coleys>ok that makes sense but doesn't ekiga cost money to use? [05:23] tgr: Hum, are you using any extra effects? [05:23] HollywoodJumper, gizmo is sometimes good [05:23] coleys nope [05:23] been like this since install coleys [05:23] HollywoodJumper: Ekiga is free, im pretty sure. So is skype. [05:23] mzz: exactly. I want to single out the filename. so I do an echo /home/uri/lol.txt | cut -d"/" -f [05:23] but the path is a variable [05:23] you know how computers run when they have too much cpu stuff going on that is what it is running like now that i upgraded to 9.04 eventhough i am not running much of anything [05:23] Urik: mmm, from skimming the manpage I'm not sure if cut does this, but hang on [05:23] so the number after the -f should change [05:24] tgr: Im not really sure what's going on. =( I find some intalls to be choppy. Did you just recently install? [05:24] there be a driver conflict trogs [05:24] Urik: You can do this with a regex. [05:24] ok next question i have been having trouble with ktorrent. is there a better bittorrent client available? [05:24] yes i installed recently and did all updates [05:24] coleys [05:24] There MAY be a bash shortcut for it as well; try asking in #bash? [05:24] Does anyone know a quick/easy way to roll back the kernel in 8.10? [05:24] HollywoodJumper: Are you using Kubuntu? [05:24] it's using the same driver, and it does detect the card and show it in the nvidia-settings app [05:24] just doesn't show any screens connected [05:24] swoody: just use grub to boot another kernel [05:24] my dhclient doesn't start when my server 8.04 comes up... ? why would this happen...? how do I fix it? [05:24] regex? going to try it. Thanks. [05:24] coleys>no i am using ubuntu [05:25] d0htem> how would I go about that? [05:25] Urik: (sed could do it, but I'm trying to find a prettier way) [05:25] HollywoodJumper: eww. Try deluge or transmission [05:25] swoody: escape when it says escape to eneter menu on reboot [05:25] coleys should i go back and fresh install 9.04 i386? [05:25] grub menu :D [05:25] HollywoodJumper: ktorrent is for kde. [05:25] how do i download from ubuntu 9.04 to 8.10 [05:25] tyler_d: check /etc/network/interfaces for anything about dhcp [05:25] mzz cut is fine...all he needs is the right field number [05:25] hoymkot_: you have to reinstall 8.10 [05:25] Petrus: yes, but what if that number isn't fixed? [05:25] hey guys, how can I add my ftp server to my remote places again? I forgot [05:25] coleys i am not too good at trouble fixing [05:25] tgr: Uhm, I'd try another fresh install of amd64. It should work flawlessly. [05:25] Petrus: afaict cut doesn't have a way to say "last field" [05:25] expr in a variable, mzz :) [05:25] so that I can connect to it and edit files as if they were on my own computer, I am on gnome [05:25] coleys>i cant fihure out how to use Transmission [05:26] Petrus: ugh, that sounds considerably more complicated than just doing it with a re [05:26] thanks mzz. [05:26] count up the number of slashes or whatever else you need, and then work backwards [05:26] i have 2 installs on my system already and it works the same on the other too [05:26] d0htem> then how do I make it use that kernel from then on, instead of auto-booting the new one? [05:26] tgr: If you experience the same problems, then you'll know it has to do with that. and you can return to i386 [05:26] HollywoodJumper: What do you mean, pretty basic program. [05:26] woh, how I use cut when delimiter is not ann ASCII caracter? ( it is an mdash in my case ) [05:26] swoody: u could remove the newest kernel by searching linux-image in synaptic, but i wouldnt recommened that [05:26] mzz not for me it isn't...I've tried learning regexes...none of the ones I find online work with either sed or grep [05:26] they're all perl or .net now [05:26] coleys>how do i search for files? [05:26] swoody: what program needs re compiling?? [05:26] lstarnes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/164661/ is my configuration [05:26] Urik: try sed -e 's:.*/\(.*\):\1:' [05:26] and neither of them are compatible with grep [05:27] HollywoodJumper: Via command line? sudo apt-cache search packagename [05:27] What is the difference between seperate x and twin view duel moniters? [05:27] lstarnes: nothing re: dhcp within there.. trying to configure it static [05:27] where are you ubotto [05:27] Crash1hd: Twin makes it so you can drag from one screen to the other. [05:27] coleys but shouldn't amd64 9.04 run flawlessly on a notebook with turion 64 x2 processor? [05:27] Urik: (which is ugly, I wish I knew a command to reverse each line in a file) [05:27] anybody? [05:27] d0htem> well the latest kernel disabled internet on an Acer Aspire one, and I read it's a kernel bug, and to roll back for it to work again [05:27] hey guys, how can I add my ftp server to my remote places again? I am on gnome [05:27] can someone help me understand this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clearsilver/+bug/86685 -it describes exactly the problem I'm having, but I don't seem to find the fix [05:27] Urik: (so you could do that, then cut -f1 -d/, then reverse each line again) [05:27] tyler_d: dhclient usually won't be started unless your interfaces use dhcp for configuration [05:27] tgr: Yeah it really should, I don't know what's going on =/ [05:28] coleys: ok so twin is like having 1 extended desktop [05:28] coseys>so i search for files using transmission but through terminal? [05:28] lstarnes: however when I do ifconfig after starting eth0 is not shown? [05:28] what dynamic DNS update protocol is used with freedns.afraid.org? [05:28] Crash1hd: Yeah basically. [05:28] Petrus: I can never remember where to backslash-escape, because it differs between grep, egrep and sed [05:28] works like a charm. thanks mzz [05:28] tyler_d: try ifconfig -a [05:28] when it says "Nominated for Hardy" and fix released - what do I do to get it? [05:28] coleys: ahh ok thanks [05:28] tyler_d: and try adding "auto eth0" before eth0's iface line [05:28] Crash1hd: I see the fresh install worked, grats =) [05:29] mzz...exactly...I'll quite happily write out 5-10 lines in bash if I have to, in order to be able to avoid a regex. I like code that I can actually read. ;) [05:29] coleys: yes yes it did :) needed to make that /boot partition small [05:29] Urik: although there's actually a "basename" tool that just does what you want [05:29] lstarnes: ok... added that and bouncing [05:29] Crash1hd: Ohh nice, manually partitioned then? [05:29] what does this mean "It has been fixed in the development release by syncing that fix from Debian" -- from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clearsilver/+bug/86685 [05:29] coleys: yes [05:29] :'| lol [05:29] Petrus: I usually resort to trial and error to figure out which backslash escapes I need. Apart from that they're not that bad. [05:30] good to know [05:30] tyler_d: once that line is added it should be configured automatically on startup to use the static ip. also, without restarting, try sudo ifconfig eth0 up [05:30] Crash1hd: You rock then haha. I could never figure that out =p [05:30] lstarnes: doh... already bouncing.... [05:30] coleys>do i need to know the name of the torrent file before i search in terminal? [05:30] hi. Anyone have experience with the ubuntu netbook remix and ideapad s10? [05:30] lstarnes: shouldn't take to long... decent box config. [05:30] HollywoodJumper: search for torrents at http://mininova.org [05:30] lstarnes: and tada its back up just like that tyvm :) [05:30] d0htem> ok, thx :) [05:30] I can't seem to switch user. When I try to "switch user", all I ever get is the screensaver. There is a "switch user" button there, but it doesn't respond. The only thing that works is reentering my password, and I'm back to myself. Any ideas how to make switch user work? [05:31] coleys: :) thanks heres the odd one now that i have done dual moniters my main bar where you can close programs with the x is gone on all apps? [05:31] swoody: np np [05:31] ade__: are you running gdm? [05:31] Crash1hd: So you just see max, min? [05:31] mzz, yes, I believe so. [05:31] coleys: I see none [05:31] coleys>i ahve been tryin to download from mininova.org and have had many successful downloads through ktorrent but recently they have stalled without reason. [05:31] ade__: then I don't know, sorry [05:31] Matson: it might mean that a fix has been released but has only been committed to the development release (9.10) but not committed to stable releases like 8.04-9.04 [05:32] coleys: no bar at all [05:32] Please, I just installed Ubungu on My PC. I would like to set up a server so i can develop my PHP applications [05:32] can some1 assiist pls :) [05:32] mzz, you think it has something to do with using gdm? [05:32] Crash1hd: Hmmm, are you trying to use emerald by chance? [05:32] lstarnes: thanks [05:32] coleys: nope [05:32] it looks like a bug from 2007 but still in hardy [05:32] ade__: no, I suspect that it won't work at all if you're not (if you're using startx or the like) [05:32] Crash1hd: Alt + f2 --> metacity --reload [05:32] Matson: I might be wrong about that though. it may need some additional testing before being committed [05:32] ade__: I don't use this feature myself though, I'm always myself (although often spread across multiple systems through ssh :) [05:33] the specific question that i have is: how do I install UNR so taht I don't ruin my ability to restore? [05:33] still getting -- * Stopping domain name service... bind rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused [05:33] tyler_d: did bind even get started? [05:33] tyler_d: So it can't communicate to localhost. Odd. [05:33] do a system restore that is [05:33] coleys: nothing happened [05:34] yn_: Your netbook should have come with a CD that lets you reimage it without the restore partition. [05:34] Crash1hd: Lemme understand, uhhh you can't see the top bar of windows? [05:34] bind was started [05:34] Failing that, just don't blow away the tiny partition when you install. [05:34] no, the s10 comes with a hidden partition that acts as the restore [05:34] reconfigured /etc/resolve.conf and bounced the network and bind9 [05:34] tyler_d: You sure? netstat confirmed it was running? [05:34] coleys: correct [05:34] ps -ef | grep -i bind [05:34] coleys: on any window [05:35] how difficult is it to upgrade from hardy to intrepid? [05:35] Hi, I am trying to get AWN working in Ubuntu 9.04. it seems that my GFX card cannot handle compositing. it is an intel card, i can get compiz to work on archlinux? what am i doing wrong. [05:35] hello [05:35] Matson: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:35] becuase **TRAC** doesn't work on hardy on my platform [05:35] Crash1hd: Restart [05:35] according to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clearsilver/+bug/86685 [05:35] Matson: it shouldn't be very difficult if you do it through the update manager [05:35] yn_: Could dd the entire drive from a liveCD to another box / external drive image. [05:35] his is > 2 years old [05:35] coleys: gonna try that [05:35] * Petrus grins at coleys...I thought getting updates was easy too, once. [05:36] Petrus: I never upgrade, just fresh =p [05:36] coleys: I don't think dist-upgrade upgrades to a later release of ubuntu [05:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/164665/ is my output from local [05:36] I haven't touched that.. nor do I have a firewall installed [05:37] lstarnes: " I don't think dist-upgrade upgrades " can you explain that? [05:37] Matson: read the rest of the line [05:37] to go grom 8.04 -> 9.04, I would use dist-upgrade , right? [05:37] Matson: no, you use the update manager [05:37] lstarnes: what is "update mamanger"? [05:38] Hello, it s me again [05:38] I don't have GUI on this machine [05:38] Matson: oh [05:38] hi [05:38] hmm [05:38] MatBoy: what version of ubuntu don't have a gui? [05:38] Chr|s: server [05:38] kapchoi: what's up [05:38] indeed, or custom install [05:38] Chr|s: any ubuntu installation can be configured to not use a gui [05:38] hey!!!! [05:38] I have a serious problem, becuase trac doesn't work on 8.04 [05:38] Matson: apt-get dist-upgrade is used for updating packages to the newest version in the repositories for the release you have installed [05:39] blaenk: its working!!

[05:39] HollywoodJumper: To search torrents, just use google 'blah blah blah torrent' [05:40] Matson: is that with the trac package in the repos or a downloaded and installed tarball of trac?

[05:42] and frankly, I'm not debugging in whitespace [05:43] HollywoodJumper: Good luck =) [05:43] Matson: what is the error?

[05:44] jawall: Yeah, likely the power daemon blows up. :) [05:44] wahaha. :) [05:44] Would somebody mind confirming some behavior for me, so I can rule out my own config and sanity? [05:45] jawall: Check to ensure power management is enabled in BIOS, for one. [05:45] how to I repair that? [05:45] ah [05:45] jawall: you need to check your power management settings in bios and the OS [05:45] Matson: it might be that trac needs to use python2.4 [05:45] if a user is in wheel group does that mean they have credentials to run shutdown or reboot? [05:46] dman777: it means they can sudo [05:46] !ati [05:46] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:46] can I have 2.4 and 2.5 install at the same timE? [05:46] Matson: yes [05:46] Matson: it could also be a rare bug caused by using 64-bit instead of 32-bit [05:46] I think that is the case [05:47] !java [05:47] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [05:47] !csharp [05:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about csharp [05:47] haha [05:47] if a fix is "Realeased" can I simply patch?

[05:48] wel I did a lot of research if Ubuntu would work on AMD64 [05:48] My wireless doesn't work. I'm on a fresh install of Jaunty, with an Intel 3945 wireless card. Ubuntu comes with the driver, but "lshw" outputs "network UNCLAIMED". Ideas? [05:48] and now we are committed to it [05:49] Why would I get a "permission denied" when tryin to copy a file from desktop to /usr/share/vim/vim72/ftplugin when I'm in gksu nautilus? [05:49] trac is not some esoteric fringe tool for a server [05:49] Matson: I use amd64 and rearely run into any problems that don't occur on the 32-but version [05:49] how do i add channels in xchat ? [05:49] rkavalap: /join [05:49] they key lstarnes and KB1JWQ was to put include "/etc/bind/rndc.key"; in named.conf.local as well to ensure the line below doesn't reference the full path... [05:49] Ok so I have lost the title bar to all my programs argh [05:50] join [05:50] rkavalap: You mean right now, or each time it starts up? [05:50] rkavalap: you missed the / [05:50] What is the easiest way to share a partition, say /mnt/storage, betwen multiple users so any can read/write it on your system? [05:50] rkavalap: and you need to follow it with a channel name, like /join #ubuntu [05:50] well, most correct way i should say [05:50] I am new to irc [05:51] i can't start the x-session for ubuntu , i want to use the ubuntu cd to recover from it, what should i do [05:51] i am trying this for the first time. [05:51] awesome [05:51] now hopefully this sticks after my update..... [05:51] I think today was the first time i've ever said no a MS EULA the first time I booted my computer, and then just blew the XP partition away [05:51] i seem to understand a little bit but not quite completely [05:52] what drivers do I need for a nvidia 8800 gt ??? [05:52] hello all [05:52] lstarnes: there might be thousands of channels, do we need to know the name of the channel specifically if i need to join to ?? [05:52] rkavalap: yes [05:52] What is gnome-do? [05:52] hey does anyone know where i can get a completely free domain? prefer a .com i know its a stretch but it would be nice [05:53] free domain? [05:53] audioInk: no such thing. [05:53] :D [05:53] lstarnes: can i multitask between channels ?? [05:53] rkavalap: an irc client can be in multiple channels [05:53] yes [05:53] can be [05:53] Qwell: well what about the cheapest there is? [05:54] it's like $8/year [05:54] Qwell: Jesus could give him one if he prayed very intensively, but I guess here is no longer registering domains... |(^_^)| [05:54] mactimes: who? [05:54] i can't start the x-session for ubuntu , i want to use the ubuntu cd to recover from it, what should i do [05:54] Please help me [05:54] Qwell: About the free domain thing. :P [05:54] hoymkot_: Do you get to command line? [05:54] yes [05:55] coleys, yes === _ is now known as Guest69796 [05:55] hoymkot_: type: startx [05:55] Qwell: That would be a miracle. ^^ [05:55] ummmm is there a way to switch between kde gdm [05:55] Qwell: i just don't get why i have to pay a yearly subscription. like what if i host myself?? [05:55] coleys, it does not work, it fails to show the GUI [05:55] Guest69796: yes [05:55] how? [05:55] audioInk: Because somebody has to manage the millions of domains. You are paying them to manage that. [05:55] Guest69796: do you mean kde and gnome, or kdm and gdm? [05:55] coleys: it does not work [05:55] audiolnk: do you know how the internet works? [05:55] lstarnes: I am not able to connect to other channels [05:56] rkavalap: like what> [05:56] audioInk: otherwise, what's to stop me from registering every possible domain? [05:56] kdm and gdm [05:56] freenode [05:56] hello all, my pulse audio isn't saving my volume levels when i reboot, any ideas? [05:56] hoymkot_: Boot in recovery mode, choose option to fix delay issues, check file systems too =) [05:56] rkavalap: channels usually start with a # sign [05:56] coleys, i did but none of them work [05:56] Guest69796: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [05:56] Guest69796: or kdm instead of gdm [05:57] My wireless doesn't work. I'm on a fresh install of Jaunty, with an Intel 3945 wireless card. Ubuntu comes with the driver, but "lshw" outputs "network UNCLAIMED". [05:57] thanks [05:57] why is my appearance preference crashing, when i try ti add certain themes. It does not produce error or warning it just hangs. [05:57] lstarnes: I am trying to do this in the gui [05:57] rkavalap: do what? [05:57] Qwell: true, but its companies that are gettign that money to register it. i know they are accredited but its still kinda dumb cause they are getting paid to basically not do anything if i host myself. [05:58] audioInk: ... [05:58] lstarnes: connect to another channel [05:58] that worked great [05:58] audioInk: welcome to the Internet. [05:58] rkavalap: just use /join #other-channel [05:58] how do u setup audio on my w322 laptop [05:58] audiolnk: they are maintaining the records that let the rest of the internet find your domain [05:58] I'd think that's worth a few dollars === paul__ is now known as TechDemon [05:59] how do u setup audio on my w322 laptop? [05:59] can anyone tell me what the best way is to share a mounted drive between multiple users? [05:59] audioInk: One thing is hosting the "contents". Another thing is "managing name-to-ip resolutions, subnets, routes, etc." [05:59] Qwell: yeah, and corporate America. i was just wondering if there was anything like what i was looking for.... any suggestions on the best place to get one? [05:59] coleys: i did but none of them works [05:59] audioInk: As you said, you'll just hold to the "contents" part. [05:59] corporate America.... how awful [06:00] mm [06:00] no help with the wireless then? [06:00] mactimes: ah ok i get it so they handle the routing.... makes sense now [06:00] lstarnes: got it. thnx for the help [06:01] I am very new at ubuntu. Currently, i have installed 9.04 on my HP tx2500 laptop. Sound does not play. Could someone help? [06:01] my toten player is not working ubuntu 9.04 [06:02] Where are the really old repos hosted? I know it's unsupported, but this is for emergency stuff.

[06:02] Hello [06:02] my toten player is not working ubuntu 9.04 [06:02] joetheodd: try old-releases.ubuntu.com [06:02] lstarnes, thanks [06:02] well thanks everyone who helped clear everything up. wading though the intarwebs is frustrating sometimes and this was a lot more informative than reading a wikipedia article [06:02] any help [06:02] so if I have both python2.4 and 2.5 installed, how do I tell apache mod_python to use python2.4? [06:03] my toten player is not working ubuntu 9.04 [06:03] python -c 'import neo_cgi' [06:03] Good would like to know because when i finish installing the driver of my card wireless i appears driver invalid to kaso is not compatible? [06:03] works on 2.4 [06:03] Good would like to know because when i finish installing the driver of my card wireless i appears driver invalid to kaso is not compatible? [06:03] I've just installed Ubuntu 9.04... but every time I try using the Add/Remove programs application, ubuntu is logging me out before it finished installing anything [06:03] here's one a little easier I hope.. I have a 680i sli mobo with a raid 5 on it..... I need to mount this to /var/www/ or such? I have installed dmraid and dmraid -r shows what I think is correct(raid 5 and such) I now need to mount this and need help configuring /etc/fstab to mount this array on boot? [06:04] Anyone can tell me 9.04 jaunty-dvd-i386.iso's md5sum? I can't access the web. thx [06:04] <]RandoM[> uhhh alsa got all screwed up.. it was working before and i tried to patch it and now i'm stuck with no sound [06:04] I was able to install something through the terminal... but does anyone know why it's doing that? [06:04] does any one else have a problem w/ help freezing after clicking on a help topic? [06:04] my toten player is not working ubuntu 9.04 [06:04] I am very new at ubuntu. Currently, i have installed 9.04 x64 on my HP tx2500 laptop. Sound does not play. When volume buttons are pressed, the computer screen tells me that the volume is changing, but there is no sound. Could someone help? [06:04] the google reader prism update totally broke it [06:04] my toten player is not working ubuntu 9.04 [06:05] willmtsai: does sound work in general? in windows? [06:05] my toten player is not working ubuntu 9.04 [06:05] in ubuntu [06:05] It doesn't show any errors, it just goes to the login screen [06:05] willmtsai: how do you know its not a hardware issue? [06:05] my toten player is not working ubuntu 9.04 [06:05] gerber: Yes, we gathered that. Apparently nobody knows the answer to your implied question right now. [06:05] ok [06:05] gerber: stop that [06:05] I know that on certain forums, people have gotten it working, but I don't really know how. [06:06] Windows does play sound. [06:06] <]RandoM[> i'm trying to troubleshoot alsa and i'm geting 'cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory'.. anybody know what i should do? it lists my soundcard when i do lspci.. nothing when i do aplay -l [06:06] type in lsmod, put the results on pastie.org [06:06] command line utility for mounting drives? [06:06] what is Windows? [06:06] <|Zippo|> someone is using conky over widget layer on compiz? [06:06] zheng: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/MD5SUMS says it is cca45d814048b5b322773561ad7c75d8 [06:06] tyler_d, mount [06:06] kindofabuzz: its this crappy OS that people use to test if their sound is working [06:06] tyler_d: Er..."mount"? And then unmount with "umount"? [06:06] kindofabuzz I have 2 OSs installed cause im new at ubuntu. [06:06] you dvd works ? [06:07] So... I really have no idea how the gnome/hal automounting magic works. *Really* long shot here, but does anyone know of a way to mark a filesystem such that gnome will refuse to mount it? [06:07] lstarnes, thank you so much. [06:07] zheng: its sha1sum is 5d7e225665d7425a16e3819b6e20063eea0342b9 [06:07] thx [06:07] willmtsai: does your volume work on your other OS? [06:07] hi [06:07] the idea being that there're two partitions on a certain flash drive, only one of which should really ever get mounted (windows and macos get it right, for two different vaguely broken and accidental reasons) [06:07] zheng: also, this may be off-topic, but how are you on irc if you can't access the web? [06:08] anyone have a broken prism-google-reader? was fine until the last update [06:08] kindofabuzz: that was excellent response time.. now could I bother you for a hand configuring my fsab? [06:08] michael1 yes the volume works in Vista. [06:08] Hi... is anyone available to answer my question? [06:08] 9.04 has too many bugs [06:08] im having an issue installing 9.04 on raid/lvm. it stops while installing lilo.... [06:08] our network manager disable web surfing. [06:08] gerber: new releases generally do [06:08] gerber: troll much? [06:09] zheng: consider a different job or asking your admin to allow access to certain work-related thigns [06:09] 9.04 seems to work much better than the previous one tho. [06:09] at least for me [06:09] mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member' [06:09] lstarnes, :), Now its so hard to find a good job [06:09] <]RandoM[> yn_: lsmod http://pastie.org/468377.txt [06:10] nobody? [06:10] gerber...a suggestion. Troll about how bad Ubuntu is in private messages...the ops don't kick you, and you can actually manage to convince a few people to migrate away from it as well...it's win/win. ;) [06:11] willmtsai@Linux-HPLaptop:~$ aplay -l [06:11] **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** [06:11] card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC268 Analog [ALC268 Analog] [06:11] Subdevices: 1/1 [06:11] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [06:11] willmtsai: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[06:12] how would i nuke that array and format it as an ext3 filesystem [06:12] * Petrus suspects that the operators of this channel have developed a good understanding of how Microsoft's tech support staff feel...the only difference, of course, is that in reward for debasing themselves on a daily basis, Microsoft's tech support staff are getting paid. ;) [06:12] seeing as how mount hates it [06:12] I love ubunttu ,don't get me wrong. ijust want a support how to deal with it. [06:12] my god [06:13] debian installed without a damn hitch [06:13] Hi, on kubuntu 904 using firefox with adobe flash, when I watch flash movies, quite often, the sound suddenly gets stuck in a 200mSec loop which sounds like tatatatatatatawiwiwiwiwiwiquququququ etc... when one goes like this, ALL go like that and I have to restart firefox to fix it.. What is the cause of this, and how can i fix it? [06:13] sudo-apt get upgrade Is that correct? [06:13] Hi, can anyone help with sound problems?

[06:15] HollywoodJumper: it will update all packages to the newest version found in the repositories [06:15] HollywoodJumper: before using it, don't forget to use sudo apt-get update [06:15] cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=0,0,0 debian-501-i386-netinst.iso [06:15] do this work like the excursion mirc?

[06:16] oh well [06:16] livingroom: All right then, thanks though. [06:16] !sound [06:16] 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 [06:16] ubuntu FAIL [06:16] later [06:16] HollywoodJumper: update the local copy of the repository indexes, so that the package management system knows which packages are newest [06:16] lstarnes>ok thanks a lot [06:17] power issues,, might as well go back to windows...

Also, typing alsa -l tells me that Ubuntu does detect my sound stuff(dunno whats its called) [06:18] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:18] oops [06:18] gerber> any one has problem with DVD movies? [06:18] Perhaps a more specific question? [06:18] jawall, what are you using to measure the CPU usage? [06:19] top [06:19] in terminal [06:19] gerber: that doesn't mean that you need that you need to go back to windows (or say that you are); just be patient. sooner or later someone will have a good answer for you [06:19] anyone got a second to help a noob out? [06:19] lstarnes>so i ran the sudo apt-get upgrade command and it didnt upgrade anything [06:19] gerber: what about totem doesn't work? [06:19] I guess, I've scoured the forums [06:19] ok thank you [06:19] HollywoodJumper: then everything is up to date with the repositories [06:19] eggsby: Ask your question; if someone's available to help, they will [06:19] DOes anyone know why the package manager would log me out after a couple minutes use? [06:20] okey dokey. [06:20] jawall, what type of gfx card?

[06:20] jawall: most new versions still have some bugs until a couple months or so after their release [06:20] _fynn, look at the archives [06:20] But I was apparently doing something wrong in the installation process, because everytime I run gdm restart it just goes to black screen [06:20] HollywoodJumper: what version of ubuntu are you using? [06:21] lsatrnes>8.04.1 [06:21] eggsby: Can you not just remove the radeon drivers? [06:21] zcat /var/log/syslog.1.gz [06:21] _fynn, ^^ [06:21] lstarnes>8.04.1 [06:21] eggsby: Or are you trying to find a solution that keeps them but also makes the rest work? [06:21] well [06:21] HollywoodJumper: what version of transmission do you want? [06:22] I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:22] lstarnes>1.60 [06:22] To get a default blank xorg.conf [06:22] _fynn, also, System->Administration->Log File Viewer [06:22] And now I can't get desktop effects enabled or anything [06:22] HollywoodJumper: 1.06 is the officially supported version for ubuntu 8.04 [06:22] Hello? Anyone can help with tx2500 sound problems? [06:22] eggsby: So you're using a blank xorg.conf right now? [06:22] Mhmm [06:23] got a problem or two with htop and screen-profiles [06:23] <_fynn> ibuclaw: the time where the kernelpanic was is still in the normal syslog, ont in the archives, but there'S nothing exceptional.. [06:23] should I try out that debx or whatever thing [06:23] HollywoodJumper: 8.10 has transmission 1.34 and 9.04 has 1.51 [06:23] lstarnes>so i am runninng against myself in a ratrace. [06:23] eggsby: Have you tried it without having an xorg.conf at all? [06:23] no didn't know that was even possible [06:23] how would I either (a) get function keys working as normal or (b) get mouse clicks to work? [06:23] eggsby : I don't know what you mean by "debx or whatever thing" [06:23] some sort of configuration tool for xorg.conf [06:23] HollywoodJumper: there may be a launchad PPA with a newer package for transmission in 8.04. If not, then you could eithe rloo for a .deb of it or download and compile a source tarball [06:24] hello [06:24] lstarnes> well...I feel like a dumbass....how do you know all this stuff? [06:24] eggsby: If you type "Xorg -configure" at a commandline, the X server will attempt to configure itself based on what it detects [06:24] Anyone? Anyone? Voodoo economics... [06:24] hmmmm [06:24] lemme try [06:24] HollywoodJumper: I've been using ubuntu for a couple years [06:24] eggsby: k. It should give you an xorg.conf.new file as output [06:24] _fynn, what was the computer doing around the time of the panic? [06:24] eggsby: It will just check things for a second, and then return you to the command line [06:25] sometimes, wireless cards can be a very silent killer. [06:25] <_fynn> ibuclaw: shutting down [06:25] says I have too many servers active [06:25] let me restart and try [06:25] Canid: like nvidia politics? [06:25] eggsby: k [06:25] thanks for the help redsocrates [06:25] Is there another help forum where I can ask this? [06:25] eggsby: No prob, and good luck [06:25] lstarnes>ok ...so if i want to download a torrent i just right click on it and choose download with Transmission? [06:25] HollywoodJumper: I think so [06:25] so, just xorg -configure then replace my xorg.conf with the one it generates and retry? [06:26] Not ask about voodoo economics... ask about why I keep getting logged out [06:26] or try with none first? [06:26] eggsby: "Xorg -configure" with a capital 'X', but try with none first [06:26] kk :) [06:26] lstarnes>thanks [06:26] Canid: What do you mean when you say you're getting logged out? [06:26] fsck on my terabyte file system takes a while [06:27] I've just installed 9.04 [06:27] Every time I open Add/Remove... under the applications menu, I can use it for a couple minutes and then my session gets logged out [06:28] Before there's time for it to even install something [06:28] Could somebody confirm I'm not losing my mind? Easy to reproduce... Hold 'a', press and hold shift briefly, release shift, wait a second, release 'a'. Do you get "aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa" or "aaaaaaa"? [06:28] No errors [06:28] It just goes to the login screen [06:28] Qwell: the former [06:28] and when I log back in, it's a new session, everything closed, nothing new installed [06:28] Can I pull the accessibility card on this one? [06:28] What is the best way to get a Free (non Sun?) Java plugin for Firefox? [06:29] I can install from the terminal, so I think it's just the add/remove utillity [06:29] Qwell: sounds like a certain accessibility feature got activated [06:29] I get this error when I followed pidgins steps here http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ 'E:Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read.' [06:29] Canid: Yeah, it must be. I don't have any real idea about that issue, I don't use GNOME [06:29] I can't run my update manager now [06:29] Dhraakellian: the latter has been the default in every version of Linux I've ever used. :) [06:29] Canid: You might try looking or posting at ubuntuforums.org [06:30] RedSocrates, the problem fixed itself when I removed my xorg.conf file [06:30] which has been...many. for many years. [06:30] Qwell: did you hold down shift for a really long time? [06:30] eggsby: Great :) [06:30] The original issue was that at random intervals my screen would just go black, think that's just a problem with my video card itself? [06:30] it isn't an accessibility feature. No such option exists anywhere that I can find. [06:30] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa4 [06:30] eggsby: What exact card is it? Radeon what? [06:30] Modifiers should stop repeats. [06:30] I might if I can't get it fixed through chat [06:30] Thanks a lot for your help, by the way, pretty cool of you :) [06:30] Radeon 9200 [06:31] eggsby: No problem at all, my pleasure :) [06:31] Pretty old, doesn't have a fan on it or anything [06:31] so it might just be overheating or something? [06:31] Qwell: I was thinking of the AccessX shortcuts and such [06:31] Is there a gnome support room where I can ask about this? [06:31] Never had the problem on winders though [06:31] Dhraakellian: If you can find such a feature, I'd be happy to hear about it. [06:31] eggsby: one sec [06:31] maybe the output of dmesg | grep iwl is helpful to solving my wireless woes? i don't know what it means, but it looks bad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/164687/ [06:32] Qwell: search systemsetting--right, #ubuntu, not #kubuntu... [06:32] i swear to god [06:32] something as simple as a friggin soundcard [06:32] eggsby: Were you having these issues on the proprietary ATI driver? [06:32] and i cantget itworking. [06:32] Livingroom: I feel your pain [06:32] what is ubuntu to me without sound? a waste of 14 gb of partition [06:32] Like I said, I didn't know what I was using [06:32] It was just whatever ubuntu defaulted to at install [06:32] eggsby: Oh, I see [06:33] <]RandoM[> got my soundcard working now :) [06:33] Livingroom: what sound card is it? [06:33] I can easily see this biting a lot of people, in very serious ways... [06:33] michael2, feeling my pain does not change the fact that in the year 2009, with a now 15 year old OS, i STILL CANT MAKE STUFF WORK [06:33] eggsby: Well, hard to say what it was, in that case. I've seen issues reported with the Radeon 9200 though [06:33] But the proprietary driver doesn't support 9200s from what I was reading [06:33] which is why I was trying to switch over to the open source [06:33] eggsby: Right, it at least seems pretty iffy. That's why I asked [06:33] why can windows and every other sane OS on the freakin' planet work out of the box, but LINUX cannot? [06:33] but couldn't quite do it for some reason [06:33] Qwell: I was thinking sticky keys [06:34] This isn't sticky keys [06:34] this is your wave of the future? this unconfigurable pile of shit that was shat out of the asses of a million developers? [06:34] Livingroom: do you know how much work it takes to make a system able to work out of the box? [06:34] linux will never overcome windows. [06:34] or osx. [06:34] or anything else for that matter. [06:34] (systemsettings > Accessibility > Activation gestures in KDE... no idea about Gnome) [06:34] Qwell: no idea then [06:34] Livingroom...why aren't you still using Windows then? [06:34] maybe the output of dmesg | grep iwl is helpful to solving my wireless woes? i don't know what it means, but it looks bad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/164687/ [06:34] lstarnes: i dont give a shit. MS can make it work the first time. why cant linux? linux has infinitely more developers. [06:35] petrus: ultimately because i'm infuriated by the direction MS has decided to take with Windows 7 [06:35] Livingroom: depending on the sound card it may just need a single kernel module to be loaded [06:35] Livingroom: I think it has successfully overcome freebsd [06:35] Livingroom...you're not going to like Linux, something tells me. ;) [06:35] * mzz shrugs, my onboard sound works out of the box in ubuntu, not in windows 2000 [06:35] lstarnes: everythings loaded. it detects the card, it has the modules, it's all set up. but it doesnt work. says it cant connect. i still get PC speaker beeps for everything [06:35] but, of course, as netcraft confirms, BSD is dying [06:36] petrus: i started using linux when redhat 5.2 came out. console only it's fine; its great; i love it; but for desktop use, it is maddeningly infuriating. [06:36] Livingroom: Computers are built around windows, not linux. every computer is somewhat different. it takes a little time to get it all right. [06:36] Livingroom: Linux isn't for everyone. Some people can read, others can't. It's no big deal. [06:36] Livingroom...that is an issue which is older than Linux itself. [06:36] qwell: oh! so accuse me of not reading now, without even asking how many message boards i've checked through. typical! go back to your hole, you worthless pile of flesh [06:36] Livingroom: I didn't say any such thing. [06:37] hello [06:37] also...the majority of UNIX users in general would tell you that the GUI scenario you're used to is actually vastly inferior anywayz === andrea is now known as Guest69738 [06:37] which if you spend an appreciable amount of time on the console, you'll learn on your own. [06:37] michael2: being built around windows doesnt change the fact that despite everything being installed correctly, it fails to make sound come through my speakers. ubuntu knows what sound card i have. it installed the correct driver. it set up alsa for me. but it /doesnt work/ [06:37] but to address your specific frustration here...\ [06:37] If i have two ubuntu boxes, one has a shared printer, how do I find the printer on the other machine? [06:37] Livingroom: You do realize that the vast majority of hardware manufacturers do not want open source code drivers associated with their products, and so do not work with Linux developers as they do with developers for closed-source products? [06:37] ALSA on Ubuntu is a pain in the neck [06:38] on that point I actually agree with you [06:38] Petrus: s/on ubuntu// [06:38] mmm, I want to blame pulse instead of alsa [06:38] Livingroom: In Linux, people have to come up with the stuff a lot of the time by reverse engineering, guess-and-check, shear expertise, etc. [06:38] s/alsa/pulse/ === SandGorgon_ is now known as SandGorgon [06:38] mzz: yeah... [06:38] I'm still unconvinced pulse currently adds anything but an extra possibly failing layer for the majority of users [06:38] Livingroom: Do you want to try to get this working, or are you leaving Ubuntu? [06:39] redsocrates: that is neither here nor there. it is not my problem. this is a common soundcard that i have, which ubuntu detected and set up. yet it does not work. why is this? because it is too decentralized. there is no control or standardization. why do i have OSS, ALSA, and PulseAudio as sound delivery apps? why dont i have a standardized platform for making sounds? it's just AUDIO for christs sake [06:39] mzz: it doesn't add anything the various other "sound managers" didn't [06:39] arts, esd, etc [06:39] redsocrates: i've been trying to make this work for days. i'm not leaving ubuntu, because i want a stable linux desktop. but i'm very fed up with it not working. [06:39] Qwell: I didn't use any of those either (alsa (with dmix) suffices for my needs, afaict) [06:40] Livingroom: First, you made claims about Linux, not Ubuntu. Linux does not install OSS, ALSA, and PulseAudio. Second, while it is not "your problem," it does answer the questions you asked. I assumed you actually wanted them answered. [06:40] mzz: indeed it does. and dmix is "part" of alsa these days [06:40] and the whole app -> libalsa -> pulse plugin for alsa -> pulsed -> libalsa -> hardware dance is just horribly confusing [06:40] I installed Kubuntu Jaunty on a machine that was running Ubuntu Hardy and now GRUB is reading the menu.lst file from Kubuntu instead of from Ubuntu ... how do I revert that? [06:40] fsck on terabyte finally finished [06:41] * Petrus remembers a time on Slackware at least where you compiled ALSA support for your hardware into the kernel, installed a specific dotfile in your home directory, set /dev/dsp 0666, and it worked. [06:41] can anyone tell me what the output of dmesg | grep iwl means? my wireless doesn't work http://paste.ubuntu.com/164687/ [06:41] redsocrates: as a prospective user of a desktop OS, should i care that hardware people dont want to work with linux/ubuntu? no: i should care only to install, run some basic configuration, maybe even be asked what soundcard i have- and then have it work, out of the box. there is, again, absoloutely NO reason for it not to "JUST WORK" [06:41] Petrus: I remember when Slackware used to come with pam [06:41] Petrus: no /dev/dsp here, who needs oss anyway these days. But yeah, roughly that. [06:41] ahh, 2008. good year. :P [06:41] Livingroom tantrums are not endearing. ;) === danorsk[afk] is now known as danorsk [06:42] Petrus: oh, only without the dotfile (dmix is on by default if the hardware doesn't mix) [06:42] Livingroom: I just gave you the reason why it likely doesn't work. Second, you were asking questions about why Windows could sometimes get things to just work, but Linux couldn't. I answered that question. If you didn't want the answer and really just wanted to complain, why'd you ask? [06:42] petrus: i'm certain they're not, but in the absence of support, what am i to do? i've tried everything on all the forums. i will provide links if you so desire as to what i tried. and none of it works [06:42] Livingroom: There are companies that provide support. [06:42] Livingroom: What sound card are you using? What does it display in lspci? [06:42] michael2: strange as it is an Intel card ... [06:43] I installed Kubuntu Jaunty on a machine that was running Ubuntu Hardy and now GRUB is reading the menu.lst file from Kubuntu instead of from Ubuntu ... how do I revert that? [06:43] redsocrates: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller === trogdor is now known as Guest57159 [06:43] zetheroo: you still have Hardy? [06:43] zetheroo: Did you use the same /boot partition? [06:43] Livingroom...the ops aren't going to like me for this, but I suggest another distribution, as I did so privately. Truthfully, that's becoming my own answer to just about any Ubuntu related question these days...Use something else. ;) Ubuntu is McLinux. [06:43] Qwell: they are both installed on the same HDD [06:44] sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup [06:44] chetnick: many do ... its a LTS after all :) [06:44] *sigh* === shadeslayer is now known as Guest41034 [06:44] geez this place is always full [06:44] Livingroom: Do you have the latest alsa installed? [06:45] should i upgrade to 9.04? will that redetect sound or simply replace whats there with newer versions? [06:45] aspidites...that's because people are always having problems. ;) [06:45] this place is bigger than #gentoo was, back when I used to lurk in there [06:45] Livingroom: Have you tried this? Allegedly people got it working by adding the lines at this link to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6929242 [06:46] Petrus: lol. i dunno why i'm here actually. i don't even use ubuntu. i guess i'm just lonely :( [06:46] redsocrates: i have alsa-base version 1.0.17 [06:47] Livingroom: Have you tried what's in that post? [06:47] have not seen that post [06:47] aspidites...I'm here because I initially had a problem, but also because, altho 3 weeks ago I was open minded towards Ubuntu, after the amount of problems I've had since then, I've now developed an attitude similar to that of Erin Brockovich...I'm on a mission from God to attempt to ensure that nobody else has to experience a similar level of pain and suffering again. ;) [06:48] Livingroom: See my above comment for the link. I found it via this page, which has people saying it works for exactly your card: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-898737.html [06:48] did i kill the room? [06:48] join #aero [06:48] Petrus: What do you use now? [06:49] redsocrates: i put that in the file. going to reboot now [06:49] Livingroom: Okay, good luck. [06:50] anyone expereincing low vloume recording? [06:50] Petrus: very noble of you. I moved to archlinux and haven't had any real problems since. any issues i had were gneral hardware issues, not distro related [06:51] aspidites: I'm also on Arch [06:51] my wireless doesn't work. lshw says network UNCLAIMED, even though it's an intel 3945 card, whose driver comes pre-installed. dmesg | grep iwl is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/164687/ can someone point me in the right direction? [06:51] RedSocrates: its the only distro that has made me stop distro hoping. on the opposite side of the spectrum, gentoo is the only one that made me want to commit suicide [06:52] i wanted so much to like gentoo too. [06:52] Here to try to help out, though, as I figure this is the way most new Linux users come in [06:52] aspidites: interesting. i'm using ubuntu and gentoo on two machines [06:52] asp I'm on Ubuntu atm...ArchLinux is where I'm planning to move to myself next...and as I said, I'm in here trying to impersonate the Pied Piper. ;) === jack_ is now known as Fractured [06:53] ok so [06:53] let me just be the first to say [06:53] holy [06:53] raylu: some people have better luck than others, i guess. also, it could be that when i tried gentoo the iwlwifi drivers weren't stable yet. try installing source-based packages without an internet connection (didn't have access to ethernet at the time) [06:53] fucking [06:53] shit [06:53] Livingroom: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:53] hello, I have a problem with x-chat gnome. When I enter a channel there is a log of conversations loaded even though I have disabled logging in the settings. Is there any way to stop these logs? [06:53] Livingroom: it works? [06:53] raylu: that, and the current nvidia drivers weren't working out for me [06:54] redsocrates: it does, but very very quiet. unsanely quiet [06:54] anyone know whats wrong with this? =IF(K3>0; E3-K3; 0) in open office it shows error: in bracketing [06:54] but anyways, i didn't come here to distro bash. to each there own [06:54] request some hints for ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix Dual boot XP + ubuntu :( [06:54] Livingroom: everything set to high in alsa mixer? [06:54] Livingroom: Great, that's some progress. :) Try typing "alsamixer" at the command line and checking the volume levels [06:54] RedSocrates yes, exactly the point...Ubuntu is the point of entry...as soon as they make it here, we must form the equivalent of a FEMA aid station, and redirect the poor souls from Ubuntu to another, still more genuinely viable Linux distro. ;) [06:54] redsocrates: with the volume all the way up i can hear my mp3 play, about as loud as if a housefly had his ipod earbuds turned all the way up [06:54] Livingroom: Also, I've discovered that apparently this is a bug with your card, see here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/362683 [06:55] Petrus: I don't do any redirecting, I just do damage control... For now anyway :) [06:55] Tux: looks fine. does open office care about trailing whitespace? [06:55] aspidites, i did with and without... [06:56] Livingroom: Are you using a Dell Slim or some other computer? [06:56] redsocrates: vostro 220 [06:56] hello [06:56] Tux: hmm, been i while since i messed with any spreadsheets. you're sure semicolon is the proper delimeter, right? (sorry, i just have to ask) [06:57] redsocrates: also, the volume is all the way up in alsamixer [06:57] yea... all the examples show ; [06:57] and repeatedly mention it.. [06:57] what is the linux equivalent of Daemon tools? [06:57] TheShahFactor: mount? [06:57] ubuntu starts with a screen resolution of 800x600 for me. any ideas how I can make it 1024x768? [06:57] hi, is anyone here knowledgeable about the TTY environment and framebuffer? [06:57] TheShahFactor: the mount command? [06:58] hello? [06:58] ah yes thanks :P [06:58] kartagis: go to system> preferences> screen resoloution [06:58] TheShahFactor: what part of daemon function of daemon tools are you trying to duplicate? [06:58] Livingroom: Well, the line I gave you that you inserted into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base has "model=6stack-dell". You can apparently set that to "model=auto". Perhaps that's part of the issue, I don't know [06:58] RedSocrates, one of the things I do show people is this (http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/05/09/13/1915250.shtml) which is something I wrote a few years ago which has apparently helped some other people...step 1 is irrelevant now, since they can use Ubuntu...I just put that in at the time... [06:58] Livingroom, 9.04 doesn't have that [06:58] i just want to mount an ISO [06:58] but I tell them to do from step 2 down [06:58] kartagis: oh [06:59] kartagis: what about a right click on the desktop? [06:59] TheShahFactor: yeah, the mount command with loop [06:59] redsocrates: should i try that? [06:59] Livingroom: Probably worth a shot. You can just change it back if it affects things negatively [06:59] redsocrates: also, btw, thanks for the help- one thing you guys probably dont receive is enough "thanks" - especially since i've been somewhat of an ass tonight [06:59] TheShahFactor: mount -o loop some_file.iso /mnt [07:00] Livingroom: You're welcome, and no problem. Glad we're making at least some progress [07:00] !iso | TheShahFactor [07:00] Livingroom, not there [07:00] TheShahFactor: 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. [07:00] gotcha fellas! thanks [07:00] aspidites: Is that how that works? I've mounted it to /media/iso and /media/cdrom0 before [07:00] Petrus: Is your stuff in the comment thread? [07:00] Surlent777: yeah, you can use any mount point [07:00] Red...yes [07:00] the first post of that comment [07:00] Surlent777: i just use /mnt because it's there and convenient :) [07:00] Nice [07:01] redsocrates: i must go to bed now. thank you again, and have a good night === MaWaLe1 is now known as MaWaLe [07:01] aspidites: I never thought to do that. I guess it makes sense now that I think about it [07:01] TheShahFactor: also in jaunty the ISO mounts when you double click on the iso [07:01] :) [07:01] Livingroom: Thanks, you too [07:01] Surlent777: ;-) [07:01] anyone else here using a tiled window manager? [07:01] aspidites: ah. those might have been problems but i'm running it on a headless machine without sound, graphics, or wireless support :P [07:01] so, is anyone here knowledgeable about the TTY environment and framebuffer? [07:01] Petrus: I like the strategy you suggest. Total immersion :) [07:01] thats cool shadeslayer ;) [07:01] aspidites: and i use xmonad :D [07:01] aspidites: xmonad here. [07:02] RedSocrates...it's the only real way with a UNIX, IMHO. :) [07:02] Petrus: Yep, probably right [07:02] raylu: xmonad was sexy, but i just can't get a hang of haskell. the whole functional programming thing is far over my head. i'll stick to python/ruby/c++, thanks [07:02] aspidites: I use GNOME, KDE, LXDE, Fluxbox, and even UDE on occasion...I jump around at whim [07:02] i'm using musca myseelf [07:02] real hax0rs use twm ;D [07:02] heh [07:02] Red...the other thing is, if it is done in a stepped manner like that, people actually find that it is not really that difficult at all [07:03] aspidites: ah. but i have a friend who knows a bit and another who uses it, so we help each other with configs [07:03] *real* hax0rs use a TTY [07:03] Linux is only hard when you have no context [07:03] which is why that is the first thing newbies need to be given [07:03] hey guys I am running ubuntu with an nvidia 8800, and when I try to install the drivers, my display gets changed to 640 x 480 === wolf is now known as Guest71437 [07:03] Petrus: I agree with that. That was basically my experience. Though it was hard, immersed myself, eventually realized it ain't all that bad :) [07:03] I did an update prior to installing [07:03] Surlent777: haven't tried the 2.26 of gnome yet. kde 4.2 is far better than any other in the 4.x series, fluxbox...pfft, real hax0rs use open box. ude...oh god [07:03] does anyone know how to make a script read txt from a file and pass it as an argument for instance \home\user\file.exe -filewithtxtinit [07:03] raylu: lucky [07:03] * mzz prefers ratpoison over a tty [07:04] j/k about the fluxbox comment btw [07:04] aspidites: UDE was interesting...and painful [07:04] ok how can I tell if ubuntu can use my modem (dialup), and I know about soft modems, but read about it many years ago and I believe there has been some progress since [07:04] anom01y: you could try editing the xorg.conf as a last resort [07:04] !dialup > martha_ [07:04] martha_, please see my private message [07:04] Guest71437: /home/user/file -`filewithtxtinit` [07:04] Surlent777: emphasis on painful...i was using wmii-ruby before musca. i liked it, but it's essentially a dead project [07:04] no stable release in like 3 years [07:04] raylu, wouldnt you ahve to pass the directory that its in too? [07:04] Hi all. [07:04] I have problem. [07:04] I need to disable antialising and to change fonts for kde4/qt4 apps in 9.04. I have installed systemsettings package and when i launch it, i can see only icons and emoticons in appearance. Settings for fonts aren´t available. [07:04] It seems like a bug, or feature? [07:04] So, is any way how can i disable antialising/subpixelhinting and how to change fonts? [07:04] ra100: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:04] Petrus: Interesting link [07:04] only hg [07:05] aspidites: I find it amusing to use obscure and difficult crap just because [07:05] Guest71437: unless you were in the directory [07:05] RedSocrates well, for me it probably *was* really that bad...configuring X Windows from scratch on Slackware in the mid 90s was a weekend long recipe for a literal migraine headache...not to mention having to compile half-binary winmodem drivers for a dialup connection, when said drivers barely worked anywayz. [07:05] !enter | ra100 [07:05] ra100: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:05] hi, can't uninstall mpd, made a little mess. Tried sudo apt-get remove --purge mpd && sudo apt-get autoremove. But there's left over !! [07:05] ra100: IIRC there is a wiki entry on this at ubuntu. ask around and i'm sure somone can point you to it [07:06] Petrus: Heh, I tinkered around with Linux some back in those days too, actually. But back then I gave up. Didn't come back until 2005ish, probably. [07:06] Surlent777: i can identify that. but now i'm stuck on tiling window managers...i can't use a stacked windows manager to save my life [07:06] i try, then immediately revert to a tiling derivative after like 10 minutes [07:06] aspidites: hahahaha I don't like the idea of a tiled myself [07:07] aspidites: heh, I last longer than 10 minutes, but yeah [07:07] Surlent777: i can always hotswap to floating if needed. not so easy the other way around. unless you use poor man's tiling manager [07:07] You guys who use tiled window managers, do you manage to stick mostly to the keyboard, or do you end up still using the mouse? [07:07] RedSocrates: ratpoison here currently, which I couldn't control with the mouse even if I wanted to [07:07] RedSocrates: the only time i touch a mouse is if i'm gaming, or using gimp, firefox, or designer [07:08] Hey, that reminds me, has anyone else noticed that the "new" screen is total crap when it comes to scrolling up? (Shift+PgUp) [07:08] RedSocrates: tends to be mainly keyboard in the others I've used too, except for occasional mouse-based resizing [07:08] mzz: Ah, nice. I've been scared away from ratpoison, though, by other peoples' reactions to mention of it :) [07:08] RedSocrates: ratpoison's very simple. A bit too simple for some, probably. Also, I can imagine hating the lack of focus-follows-mouse. [07:08] i'd use vimperator, but it just doesn't feel right to me [07:08] raylu, hmmm doesnt appear to be working, if i add +connect 192.168.0.2 to the end of the script it works, if i add 'ipport' to the end of the script while ipport has that txt in it, it doesnt work [07:08] I like vimperator all right [07:08] mzz: i disabled focus follows mouse after switching to musca [07:09] mzz: Maybe I'll convince myself to check it out :) [07:09] anyone who knows how to stop x-chat gnome from loading logs in the channels? [07:09] * aspidites uses weechat-curses [07:09] aspidites: I came across that one, forgot why I didn't try it yet [07:09] RedSoc...I've heard ratpoison is ok, but if you want to go that route, I just go for screen in an Eterm, myself [07:10] mzz: kinda like irssi but with the user list showing [07:10] Petrus: I don't really have much experience with screen, still trying to really figure out its power [07:10] Is it possible that some server is not respecting the MX records of my domain and instead of contacting the MX is contacting the server directly to send an email? [07:10] aspidites: meant musca, not weechat-curses [07:10] Guest71437: `, not ' [07:10] RedSocrates, same...it seems pretty cool tho [07:10] aspidites: irssi can have a user list...just get the script, and use screen [07:10] Guest71437: wait, no [07:10] Guest71437: `cat ipport` [07:10] Igraine: Look in Settings --> Preferences, there should be a "Logging" item in the list on the left side [07:10] Guest71437: just `ipport` is insufficient [07:10] raylu, k il give that a try [07:11] mzz: ooh. its seeeexy. Beware though ,there's no automatic tiling by default, but I've managed to make it react similarly to wmii. has far more layout options than any other I've used [07:11] aspidites: remember I'm coming from ratpoison, not dwm/wmii [07:11] Surlent777: I know. I just didn't want ot have to get a script for something i thought was fundamental. I suppose using arch i shouldn't be so lazy [07:11] no kidding [07:11] mzz: aah, right. i don't remember much about ratpoison. [07:11] and considering it's a TTY client [07:12] how do you add facebok chat in empathy or pidgin? [07:12] what did you expect? [07:12] shadeslayer: open Synaptic and type pidgin. It'll show up [07:12] Which one of these tiled wms is the easiest to configure? I don't want to learn Haskell just to configure my wm, for example [07:12] Surlent777: weechat-curses is too [07:12] aspidites: it's *really* simple (really just screen for X (with both horizontal and vertical splits but no builtin workspaces for example)) [07:12] Surlent777: at least i'm not using xchat/mirc ;-) [07:12] aspidites: amen [07:13] RedSocrates, there is no logging in the menu on the left [07:13] raylu, cool thanks that takes care of part of the problem :) [07:13] mzz: ah. never got into screen either. didn't seem neccessary after switchign to tiling windows managers [07:13] does anyone know if you can use yahoo chat rooms in pidgin? [07:13] aspidites: Can't beat irssi for spamming potential =P [07:13] Igraine: it should be an option under "Chatting" [07:13] RedSocrates: dwm can't be configured, does that count? [07:13] Mylisto: yes you can [07:13] how? [07:13] ubuntu ftw!! [07:13] mzz: Sure, less work :) [07:13] Guest71437: the other part? [07:13] Mylisto: hmm..don't remember. lemme look [07:13] i got a question, say you have a running process writing to a log file over nfs, the nfs server dies, and the program needs to rite to the log file agian. what happens? does the program or os decide what to do? [07:14] haha [07:14] found it [07:14] Mylisto: yeah. buddies > join chat [07:14] raylu, Im going to need something to write the ip and the port in this format ip:port to that file. but its in an xml document [07:14] thanks [07:14] keoni: depends on how it's mounted. It'll either hang or fail [07:14] what ever happened to the try first, ask questions later policy? [07:14] so, no tty/fb gurus tonight then =/ [07:14] aspidites: I don't think that policy exists here [07:14] Guest71437: then this isn't part of the solution [07:14] raylu, well actually let me ask you this first [07:15] Guest71437: what you want is a script that parses the xml document and runs that command itself [07:15] Unfortunately [07:15] to pretty much data loss, there is no queue type thing? [07:15] RedSocrates: lol. apparently not. welcome to linux newbie world aka ex-windows please hold my hand-type user [07:15] so rather [07:15] aspidites: Yeah, it can be that way :) [07:15] keoni: man 5 nfs, look for the "soft" and "hard" mount options, iirc [07:15] There is this Open Source Text to Speech system I am trying to install (http://mary.dfki.de/Download) When I try to run it in the terminal;I get a freezed window I cannot click on the ok or cancel button in the Window.It is based in Java.Any one know why this is happening? [07:15] raylu, well the problem is i have this script that launches the program right? but it needs to add the argument +connect ip:port after the script if i run the script like ./scriptname +connect ip:port that wont work, for some reason it has to be in the file itself [07:16] no one really held my hand...I just plowed through it, even accidentally formating my HD trying to install 6.06...I just went through and taught myself, mostly [07:16] raylu, do you know why that might be? [07:16] at least linux responses don't begin with "are you drivers updated?" or "did you try restarting your computer?" [07:16] keoni: when I said "hang" I meant "retry indefinitely". I don't know if that means it'll eventually succeed if the server comes back up. [07:16] Surlent777, that is the only real way to learn [07:16] Surlent777: same here. i didn't even start using irc again until i was a gury [07:16] Petrus: I agree. I hate it when people try and make it idiot-friendly, etc. [07:16] ah [07:16] Guest71437: er, i don't understand [07:16] i guess ill go poke around and find out [07:16] well..well aquainted with linux, not a guru [07:17] (see, for instance, the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace changes) [07:17] raylu, alright so lets say you have a script and it is name beans right? [07:17] Surlent777: Worst change EVAR [07:17] YES [07:17] keoni: it'll probably survive temporary network loss, but I don't know if it'll survive a server restart [07:17] RedSocrates, I dont even have a 'chatting'... [07:17] raylu, so lets say you need to pass an argument to that script and the argument is +connect ip:port [07:17] Surlent777, Ubuntu's ease is extremely superficial...this channel's volume is itself a testament to how truly, horrifyingly broken it is in technical terms. [07:17] heh, point [07:17] raylu, if INSIDE the script you add +connect ip:port to the end of the file, it will work [07:17] Igraine: How did you install Xchat? Are you using regular xchat or the xchat that comes in the xchat-gnome package? [07:17] Petrus: amen to THAT. [07:18] I'm appaprently strange, I don't mind that ctrl+alt+backspace change because I actually hit that accidentally once or twice [07:18] raylu, but if you do ./beans +connect ip:port that wont work [07:18] will take a little getting used to. [07:18] mzz, keoni: I've had nfs mounts survive server restart like that. [07:18] how is ubutu broken [07:18] I find arch and other "bare bones" distros far simpler for the fact that nothing is hidden from the user [07:18] RedSocrates, its x-chat gnome 0.26.1 [07:18] Guest71437: er, that's more of an issue with the script itself [07:18] a: every OS sucks [07:18] mzz: how could you manage to hit that? It's already intuitive that you don't hit Ctrl+Alt unless you're doing something important or death-defying, at least for me [07:18] keoni: definitely take kenyon's word for it, I haven't touched nfs in ages [07:18] ubuntu is perfect [07:18] Guest71437: different scripting languages have different ways of handling arguments [07:18] Igraine: Ah, yeah, sorry; that one is set up differently, not sure [07:18] ActionParsnip: linux just sucks less [07:18] aspidites: so, not a big GNOME fan, then, I take it? [07:18] raylu, here http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3262671&forum_id=474406 [07:19] raylu, that is a post i made on it [07:19] can you restore grub from working mounted system? Or it has to be from live CD? [07:19] RedSocrates, ok thanks anyway :) [07:19] I really wish I could remember how to make it hide this /join-spamming [07:19] raylu, actually this one might be better http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7214683#post7214683 [07:19] Surlent777: um...no. i like it better than kde 3 series. [07:19] aspidites: in some cases yes, in others no, not less,just differently [07:19] anyone know of a good digital rendering app for linux? [07:19] Surlent777: at least once I got my brain and/or fingers crossed going for alt+backspace (delete word backwards) and ctrl+something (some emacs-style movement command) at the same time [07:19] Igraine: No prob, good luck with it :) [07:19] Surlent777: its a plugin in pidgin ;) [07:19] ActionParsnip: yeah, lets not mention wifi support, games, or even video chat [07:19] raylu, so you see that part that says and ip:port that is what it should be adding to the end of the script [07:20] Guest71437: anyway, i need to go now; sorry [07:20] raylu, ok no problem [07:20] Surlent777: and emacs has a bunch of ctrl+alt+letter bindings that aren't scary (not that frequently used, but not scary) [07:20] ActionParsnip: the heck with pidgey, I'm using irssi [07:20] i meant sucks less as a general reference. the os taken as a whole. for me, the statement is true. [07:20] Surlent777: /ignore #ubuntu JOINS PARTS QUITS [07:20] Surlent777: then i have no idea [07:20] mzz: emacs scares me a bit; I prefer vi [07:20] raylu: thanks [07:20] Surlent777: same here. vim actually [07:20] Surlent777: vi's fine and takes a different approach to key bindings [07:20] well, vim, yeah [07:21] emacs made my wrists hurt [07:21] aspidites: I'm not sure of the differences, but whatever the heck came with this is what I use [07:21] (re: vi/vim) [07:21] aspidites: emacs users commonly bind ctrl to capslock [07:21] that and lisp scares the crap out of me [07:21] raylu: lol. i do that for vi/m too. [07:22] raylu: to be fair, only recently though [07:22] yeah, you need a nicely accessible ctrl keyi [07:22] I love vim's simplicity...and it makes you look awesome to a novice to use it =P [07:22] aspidites: hrm? vim users more commonly bind esc to capslock [07:22] key, even. I wonder how many vim users rebind esc to the key to the left of 1 or something [07:22] Surlent777: nano here [07:22] vim = vi with creature comforts, pretty much...from what I've read at least. [07:22] raylu: nah, i use capslock + ] for my escape [07:22] ooh, nano's nice. Reminds me of MS-EDIT [07:22] er capslock + [ [07:22] !!! [07:23] OI [07:23] !!! [07:23] is it a spider? [07:23] or maybe a tractor? [07:23] some sort of chip? [07:23] raylu: plus, ctrl is needed for buffer management and a lot of other ide functions i use [07:23] hello everyone, I accidentally turned of my removable cd drive while I was boot from a live cd now it seems like when I reboot normally it takes longer, is there any way for me to check if I have caused any memory damage? [07:23] happy fifth day of the month [07:24] sireromano: >< [07:24] AnActivist: Run memtest86+ from GRUB [07:24] what if I am using Lilo? [07:24] AnActivist: Press Esc when you see the message about GRUB during bootup [07:24] well then you're in trouble [07:24] AnActivist: iirc the livecd has memtest too [07:24] cause I have no idea how to use that [07:24] what is that? [07:24] LInux LOader [07:24] AnActivist: i believe memtest is in lilo too [07:25] !info lilo [07:25] lilo (source: lilo): LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can load Linux and others. In component main, is optional. Version 1:22.8-7ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 374 kB, installed size 1184 kB [07:25] ActionParsnip, ok cool thank you I will try [07:25] AnActivist: or boot live cd, its tere too [07:25] dang [07:25] i didn't know anyone still used lilo [07:25] has anyone played with grub2? [07:25] there's a grub2? [07:26] that reminds me...GRUB themes...anyone use them? [07:26] Surlent777: yes [07:26] I've been a bit scared to try them, but I think I might, just for kicks [07:26] after I figure out my weird framebuffer issue here [07:26] (priorities) [07:26] aspidites: yup. no documentation. [07:27] grub works fine, what else do you need from grub besides kickup linux? [07:27] i've been putting off using it because nothing else about my setup is "shiny". no spash screens, no login manaagers, no pizaz what so ever [07:27] aspidites: in development for 4 years, got it working, can't configure it because there's no damn documentation [07:27] Kickup XP (video games) [07:27] Surlent777: theyre boring after you use them for 10 boots [07:27] impressive bootscreen :) [07:27] heh [07:27] http://img164.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2onq.png [07:27] oh jeez, i havent seen my grub in tiiiiiiime [07:27] raylu: gotta love open source projects huh? [07:27] ActionParsnip: splashimages with more than 14 colors, 640x480 [07:28] i've been meaning to play with fast-init, but i haven't gotten around to it [07:28] my grub has a timeout of 1 second, not like I need a splash screen there :) [07:28] the only boot option i've changed is the resolution of my tty [07:28] raylu: i dont even use a bootsplash, i watch the boot messaes [07:28] mzz: that reminds me. i need to reduce my timeout [07:28] aspidites: how?? can i set it to 1440X900 ? [07:28] shadeslayer: lemme look. that's what i have [07:29] 1440x900 isn't a vesa res, right? [07:29] ActionParsnip: no, before that [07:29] ActionParsnip: the image behind the selection menu [07:29] aspidites: got the wiki btw [07:29] raylu: saves hdd space and why is it so important when its on the screen for suc a short length of time that you'd put time into changing it [07:29] oh, and I have an option in gdm to boot into windows once [07:29] mzz: um dunno [07:29] shadeslayer: vga=864. and you have to change a blacklist option somewhere [07:30] ActionParsnip: because it's on my system, so i want it to look nice [07:30] * mzz pets grub-set-default [07:30] what about [07:30] shadeslayer: lemme look. i know i aint using mesa, lol [07:30] !tty | aspidites [07:30] aspidites: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [07:30] I've set it to use the framebuffer, and it asks me for my resolution (I go with 800x600 usually), but when I run programs like ZSNES, or try and view images in w3m, which I could do in 8.10, it redirects it to my open X session... [07:30] raylu: true, i think its completely pointless [07:31] shadeslayer: thats not it [07:31] raylu: i bet you use compiz too [07:31] aspidites: then? [07:31] aspidites: i cant see my rez there :P [07:31] ayuda para instalar programas en xubuntu [07:31] soy nuevo [07:31] tauro: #ubuntu-es [07:31] !es | tauro [07:31] tauro: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[07:32] hi all, i have a problem with an intel graphics card on jaunty [07:32] nilsh: we all do :) [07:32] oh, really? :D [07:32] tauro: mira "Synaptic" tambien [07:32] nilsh: yes,its a regression [07:32] oh no [07:33] i need help [07:33] i dont [07:33] Nvidia ftw [07:33] yeah [07:33] although i dont use intel gfx :) [07:33] hi [07:33] nilsh: try all you want ;) [07:33] Surlent777: snap [07:33] ActionParsnip: no; as stated earlier, xmonad [07:33] ActionParsnip: though i did use it some years ago [07:34] everything works, except shutting down, changing user or switching the tty [07:34] shadeslayer: i found it [07:34] aspidites: what happened? [07:34] aspidites: :) [07:34] I can't resize the gnome panel below 31 pixels, for some reason it wont let me anymore. Can someone Please help? [07:34] so, i think it is an problem with xorg [07:34] shadeslayer: what graphics card are you using? [07:34] aspidites: nvidia geforce 8600 MGT [07:34] sounds like mine [07:34] raylu: lxde here [07:34] 8600 GT 512MB [07:34] sweet, close to mine.. so you have to edit /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist [07:35] (as root) [07:35] Surlent777: ah thats the desktop version with DDR2,i have 256 MB DDR3 [07:35] (duh, it's in /etc/ :P) [07:35] Please? [07:35] shadeslayer: madness [07:35] shadeslayer: just comment out the nvidiafb line (add a #) [07:35] aspidites: its empty :O [07:35] boringpackets, I don't think you can do that [07:36] shadeslayer: are you modifying it as root? [07:36] aspidites: yes,sudoedit /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist [07:36] Petru I have been doing that for a long time until Ubuntu 9.04 [07:36] boringpackets: I don't know enough about gnome but it's possible it's tied to some applet on your panel [07:36] does anyone know how to install tar.gz and tar.bz2 packages? [07:36] boringpackets, I don't know :( I'm not an expert on gnome I'm sorry [07:36] boringpackets: does a completely empty panel have the same minimum size? [07:36] interesting...that file doesn't seem to exist on my computer [07:36] shadeslayer: maybe ubuntu uses a different file. you can always add "graphics=nvidiafb" to your kernel line in menu.lst [07:37] wolferz: Gotta decompress 'em first. [07:37] shadeslayer: if you meant gedit, you'll need gksudo for that ;) [07:37] shadeslayer: correction: video=nvidiafb [07:37] hi [07:37] Thanks for the replies! I will try doing this with an empty panel, I'll create a new one to test. [07:37] tar xzvf filename for the gz stuff, tar xjvf for the bz2 stuff [07:37] ActionParsnip: i meant sudoedit ;) [07:37] i need to install opengl on ubuntu jaenty [07:37] nice === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [07:37] KB1JWQ: not sure when this was introduced but in at least some versions of tar you can omit the j/z and it'll autodetect :) [07:38] nobody with me? :( [07:38] eri-: I think it should already be able to do OpenGL, shouldn't it? [07:38] shadeslayer: i shouldn't have to say this, but make sure you back up your original menu.lst file [07:38] mzz: Ooh, that's a neat feature. I'll have to try that, I'm too used to old-school methods. :) [07:38] Odd, new panels automatically start at 22 pixels. Thank you SO MUCH for figuring this out. I will just make a new panel and delete this one. [07:38] aspidites: already did [07:38] Surlent777: i can't run savage 2 [07:38] aspidites: i add it to the end? [07:38] doesn't matter. i have it before the ro option [07:38] after ro? [07:38] eri-: Are you trying to run a Windows version? (I have no idea what that game is) [07:38] i try tu run in terminal and the error its i dont have open gl 2.1 [07:39] ok so I guess not [07:39] ok rebooting [07:39] actually, because i have teh file, the only thing i add to my kernel line is the vga option [07:39] eri-: Did you try looking around in Synaptic for anything corresponding to that? [07:39] what do I need to be able to boot from an external dvd-player? [07:39] yep Surlent777 [07:39] eri-: what graphics card are you running? [07:39] im install openglad [07:40] intel mobile 4 [07:40] eri-: i don't think that chipset supports opengl [07:40] what do I do after downloading and doing configure though [07:40] aspidites: i see around the web im see something about intel and opengl problems [07:41] wolferz: make, sudo make install generally [07:41] but i see this post its old post [07:41] Read the INSTALL within the package if needed. [07:41] Might also be called README [07:41] hey, I found that file you guys were talking about (framebuffer blacklist). I missed it though: What would enabling the nvidia fb do? [07:41] maybe i have jaunty have more solution [07:41] although imho sudo make install is not your friend, consider installing into your homedir (or running straight out of the build dir) or using checkinstall [07:41] I thank you, is there some cheat sheet for users used to buggy windows? [07:42] eri-: try runnign glxgears in terminal. if it doesn't work, i don't think you can run it [07:42] mzz: Ah, that's right. I'm too used to installing things systemwide. [07:42] dam it [07:42] sorry [07:42] eri-: glxgears didn't work? [07:42] aspidites: i try to don't use windows hahaha [07:42] eri-: do you have the latest intel drivers installed? [07:42] it's imposible some times [07:43] aspidites: nop [07:43] eri-: that might be your problem :| [07:43] aspidites: pretty much the same [07:43] systemwide's fine, systemwide outside of package manager control (and not contained to a dir in /opt or the like) less so [07:43] does anyone know how to make rar files in the form of i.e part01.rar part02.rar part03.rar -- like the compression.. not splitting the contents inside.. or doefining how big part01 part02 part03 can be each? [07:43] in linux [07:43] aspidites: how i do to install the new intel driver [07:43] hi [07:43] axis: does it have to be rar? === andresinix_ is now known as andresinix [07:43] i have the rarlinux.tar.gz from rarlabs but when i run ./rar i don't see how i can do that..... i see rar a file.rar file1.dat file2.dat etc [07:43] no [07:43] it doesnt [07:43] shadeslayer: really? mine is definately 1440x900 instead of 800x600 maybe it has somethin to do with the file being empty [07:44] if theres a better solution sure [07:44] ill take that [07:44] axis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:44] i'd say do a google search for the ubuntu equivalent [07:44] axis: there's a tool called "split" that does this to any file [07:44] aspidites: maybe,no idea mate ;) maybe i have to use vga= [07:44] When I hold my mouse over anything in Ubuntu a little help thing comes up telling me what my mouse is being held over. Can I disable this? [07:44] which is the command for look all USB drives? === baskingshark is now known as paul68 [07:44] MoKu23: lsusb [07:44] eri-: not sure. i don't use ubuntu. everyone? what's the command to search for packages? is it apt-cache package_name ? [07:44] axis: so one option is to create any kind of archive (.tar or .tar.bz2 for example), then running "split" on that (with the right options) [07:44] but if i send the split files [07:44] dont show nothing (shadeslayer) [07:44] to a windows machine [07:45] how do i rejoin it [07:45] shadeslayer: you have to use both vga=864 and video=nvidiafb [07:45] I remember a specific place where I was previously able to edit various detailed aspects of gnome, but It's been a long time. [07:45] on the windows [07:45] axis: ah, windows target. Yeah, that won't work easily. sec. [07:45] thats why i wanted to use rar [07:45] axis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:45] aspidites: now youre telling me ;P [07:45] aspidites: I can confirm that as a no [07:45] boringpackets: gconfig editor maybe? [07:45] shadeslayer: i told you that before :P [07:45] is it possible to uninstall ubuntu desktop and install ubuntu server? [07:46] aspidttwj Yes that was it thank you. [07:46] helppppppppppppppppppppppp [07:46] hello? [07:46] ttwj: you can run the livecd and do a complete reinstall, or just uninstall gnome desktop, xserver, etc [07:46] axis: the "zip" utility takes a -s switch which might suffice [07:46] aspidites: too much traffic here :P [07:46] ttwj: I should do clean install [07:46] boringpackets: your welcome [07:46] helppppppppppppppppppppppp [07:46] aspidites: how i can do to install the new driver for intel [07:46] MoKu23: yes? [07:46] I was wondering if their is any script that can recognize the size of the image you have just "ctrl-c/x", so when you create a new pic in gimp, it knows of large the pic is i.e. 374x124 pixels, anybody knows anything about it? [07:46] for show all usb drive? [07:46] !ask|MoKu23: [07:46] MoKu23:: 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. :-) [07:46] eri-: just guessing..open synaptic and search for "xorg intel" [07:46] ok [07:46] aspidites, can i just do sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop? [07:46] MoKu23: i told you lsusb :| [07:47] aspidites: thnx [07:47] i have done, but dont show nithing [07:47] ttwj: yeah, but i'd drop to tty first [07:47] I must have an outdated version of zip [07:47] Any repositories around still with 7.10 packages? [07:47] because i don't see -s at all [07:47] MoKu23: Then you have nothing plugged in, likely [07:47] 8.04's fonts changed and I hated it when I upgraded. [07:47] qetuR: just use edit -> paste as -> new image (in gimp)? [07:47] admin@ks367698:/home$ lsusb -s [07:47] lsusb: option requires an argument -- s [07:47] Usage: lsusb [options]...

[07:47] Increase verbosity (show descriptors) [07:47] ttwj: i think it messes up your update mechanism though, so fresh install is cleaner [07:47] ok im gonna reboot again [07:47] !enter |moku23 [07:47] moku23: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:47] shadeslayer: good luck again [07:47] what's +z? [07:48] zipsplit [07:48] what sort of package is ubuntu-desktop? [07:48] hmm [07:48] I think I did something wrong, lol. [07:48] MoKu23: i can see my usb devices through lsusb [07:48] Or does 9.0 make it better? [07:48] Hello. Can someone do me a quick favor and check what they have in the Waiting channel column of System Monitor (processes tab) for the gvfs-fuse-daemon. [07:48] Surlent777: ops can still see what he says [07:48] mzz: ty! [07:48] SPF: gnome meta package i thinkl [07:48] mzz: ok, thanks [07:48] Surlent777: (roughly, see the freenode list of channel modes for specifics) [07:48] What does this mean? : make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 [07:48] mzz: wish oftc had something like that...would have been hilarious during some old "wars" =D [07:48] seems a surge of people needing help just flooded in here :\ [07:49] kinda fun helping out though [07:49] aspidites: X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display driver [07:49] yeah [07:49] help pls [07:49] aspidites: hmmm i have instaled [07:49] Surlent777: yeah, I think this is a freenodeism, but I hardly know non-freenode networks, so...

[07:49] yep [07:49] aspidites: but the savage 2 need opengl 2.1 [07:50] hey guys [07:50] eri-: are they opengl games or just sdl ? [07:50] hi corpsicle [07:50] i have a slight problem with spotify in wine in ubuntu 9.04 [07:50] which a dual screen setup [07:50] wine seems to think the mouse is offset by a screen or so [07:50] corpsicle: you lost me at dual screen [07:50] How's it going [07:50] so when i grab the window it pops like 1200 pixels to the right [07:51] BilokShem: pretty good, you? [07:51] its more an annoyance than a problem but it would be nice if there was a solution [07:51] is there a wine channel perhaps [07:51] BilokShem: Fine, aside from the framebuffer being weird and wanting to redirect TTY things to X [07:51] is there a way to telnet over a specific interface, eth0 in this case? [07:51] ... and is it about wine or wine [07:51] corpsicle: #winehq [07:51] MoKu23: if you get no output from lsusb that probably means your usb root hubs weren't detected. What does lspci have to say about those? [07:51] err, host controllers, not root hubs [07:52] hey everyone I have both gnome and KDE installed but would like to switch to KDE and try that out. I have changed my login screen though so I no longer get the option to change my session. Does anyone know how to switch to using KDE? [07:52] Maiku: I don't understand the question. Do you mean you want the daemon to only listen on one interface? [07:52] halycon: how did you change it? [07:52] @halycon change it back [07:52] halycon: you can use .xinitrc to log into kde [07:52] aspidites: Savage2 - Fatal Error: OpenGL 2.1 not available.

If it's to shock/disgust, it could be worth it [07:55] that's too bad. [07:55] what if it's not [07:55] otherwise, you just look like a pervert [07:55] or a noob [07:55] mzz: sounds good to me [07:55] haha, that too [07:55] eri-: oh ok. i am saying i don't think your graphics card will let you play savage 2 === StooJ is now known as StooJ|Away [07:56] shadeslayer: glad it worked for you. sorry about the delay, your reply was burried [07:56] aspidites: ok but the game only say something about opengl [07:56] just to confirm, BSD is essentially the same idea as Linux, right? [07:56] mzz: thanks a bunch, I think that set me on the right track :) [07:56] eri-: right. your graphics card doesn't support opengl i don't think [07:56] Surlent777: no [07:56] Surlent777: er, 'idea'? [07:56] aspidites: btw i have one more tiny problem,when i use tf-tools to login i have to swipe my fingers 3 times to login,whereas fprint_demo scans only onece,any ideas?? [07:56] Surlent777: read the wikipedia articles [07:56] aspidites: ok [07:56] eri-: try downloading another game that uses opengl. all games don't use it [07:57] aspidites: no problem ;) [07:57] Gnea: I mean, it's another UNIX varient, yeah? [07:57] Surlent777: it is. [07:57] aspidites: ok [07:57] shadeslayer: i don't even know what tf-tools is, sorry [07:57] Surlent777: everything is a unix variant [07:57] * Gnea looks oddly at duryodhan [07:57] duryodhan: Not exactly DOS, if I remember my history lesson in Computer Repair [07:57] aspidites: thinkfinger tools [07:57] hi, how can I stop pidgin autostart when login [07:57] duryodhan: i was pretty sure windows wasn't a unix variant....mac on the other hand [07:58] shadeslayer: there's also plan 9 [07:58] mac is a ripoff of BSD, iirc [07:58] digdeep: remove it from startup manager [07:58] aspidites: afaik, all modern OS are based on teh original unix idea [07:58] catz boot.img.gz > /dev/sdc1 and then moving the iso onto the usb-drive should give me a bootable linux right? [07:58] at least, the current one [07:58] !info plan9 [07:58] Package plan9 does not exist in jaunty [07:58] aspidites: ? [07:58] Surlent777: it's not. they actually worked out a deal that compiles fully with the BSD license. [07:58] aspidites: i like to uninstall you can't help me.. because i cant see in synaptic [07:58] aspidites: unix is a set of ideas on designing OS - which windows also followed , slowly it has made some changes [07:58] Gnea: What I mean is, it's not theirs....they just "borrowed" it [07:58] duryodhan: based off of idea and based off of achitecture or source code are two different things. [07:58] aspidites: but I think thats true for everything - even linux [07:59] aspidites: unix is an idea [07:59] well, the whole "idea" term here is vague enough that the question's mostly meaningless [07:59] windows isnt based on unix and mac isnt a ripoff of bsd :) [07:59] exactly [07:59] Surlent777: and the reason no one is suing apple as a result would be...? :) [07:59] thats why I said everything is based of unix [07:59] duryodhan: you say unix based, i'm thinking using unix's source code. linux isn't unix based in this since. it's unix-like [07:59] idea [07:59] :D [07:59] duryodhan: stupid idea imho [07:59] duryodhan: now talking about "ideas", yes, unix based [07:59] aspidites: yeah fine [07:59] aspidites: even bsd , unix and mac aren't unix based [07:59] mac os x (or its predecessor) is older then the kurrent bsd:s [07:59] *linux [07:59] duryodhan: dude, dos was developed in someone's garage [08:00] Gnea: Have you seen most Apple users? Check their macrumors forum once in a while...I have a screencap of one of those idiots claiming that Macs invented the internet, hence the "MAC address" of every piece of hardware [08:00] Gnea: NT [08:00] haha [08:00] duryodhan: wut? [08:00] all this os ot btw ;) [08:00] Gnea: NT is based on the idea of Unix [08:00] i always wondered... [08:00] Surlent777: heh [08:00] Surlent777: lol [08:00] duryodhan: but the underlying OS wasn't [08:01] Gnea: what underlying OS ? NT is the OS .. there is nothing underlying to it [08:01] no. NT has a posix subsystem, thats very different [08:01] hi everyone [08:01] hah, we went from newbie customer support center to unix debate panel [08:01] too deep for me now, sadly...and I'm getting situational ADD, so I'm going to go read the screen manual to learn how to copy/paste [08:01] something like this frequently happens with irc support channels [08:01] Surlent777: I'm sorry, but the fabrication of ideas based on a population of television-watching geeks in order to purport a conspiracy of capitalistic value means what in the grand scheme of things? :) [08:01] I have recently resized my swap partition, and now the system is not able to use it anymore (already checked fstab) [08:02] lundh: ? [08:02] duryodhan: uhm, NT was not a re-write from the ground up. [08:02] luca__: tried rerunning mkswap on it? [08:02] anyway [08:02] Gnea: It gives me yet another excuse to degrade a subset of idiots, mostly. Everyone needs a hobby =P [08:02] luca__: (make sure it's not used first!) [08:02] this whole conversation is offtopic [08:02] * Gnea stops. [08:02] Gnea: oh man...you're one of THOSE people? [08:02] * duryodhan stops [08:02] mzz: yeah, and also to add the uuid to fstab and rebooting. No luck :( [08:02] the whole, everything is a big brother conspiracy type? [08:02] duryodhan: nt is not built around the unix-phiolosophy. It does however have a posix-compatible layer as requested by the us department of defense [08:03] luca__: so how does manually running swapon on it fail? [08:03] nah, it's not big brother, it's the illuminati =) [08:03] speaking of fstab, is anyone still using device locations /etc/sd* or has everyone switched to uuids? [08:03] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT .. designed with features comparable with unix [08:03] * shadeslayer drinks diet coke [08:03] aspidites: lvm names here [08:03] and urine is comparable with soda...they're both liquids. Doesn't mean that urine is soda or vice versa [08:03] duryodhan: yeah, those features are the posix subsystem that is an addition to the system [08:04] mzz: i was using lvm, but stopped about 3 months ago [08:04] mzz: well, here is the strange thing - it is mounted but not used; by this I mean I am unable also to hibernate (simple reboot instead) and the usplash is broken (typical) [08:04] shadeslayer: sudo apt-get install startupmanager? [08:04] ok, I am not going to be made into a liar. To GNU manuals! [08:04] aspidites: my /boot is /dev/disk/by-id/blah, the rest is mostly lvm-based [08:04] ah [08:04] luca__: define "mounted" [08:04] digdeep: no your startup manager in systems [08:05] can any one help me out with a wubi error? [08:05] whitevamp: yeah. don't use it :) [08:05] what do you folks recommend for simple backup? [08:05] digdeep: system > prefrences > startup [08:05] luca__: how do you know it is "mounted"? How do you know it is "not used"? [08:06] shadeslayer: ok [08:06] mzz: run mount === dronix is now known as dronix[ub] [08:06] mzz: if its mounted it will show [08:06] aspidites : yea i know. [08:06] jtan325: I use rsync, but trying rdiff-backup is on my todo list [08:06] duryodhan: swap isn't really mounted (which is why I was adding those quotation marks) [08:06] duryodhan: it definitely won't show up in "mount", at least [08:07] mzz: swapon -a did not output any error; also, it appears on free. Free and system monitor say it is mounted but empty ... and on reboot after hibernating it makes a simple reboot :( [08:07] Can someone do me a quick favor and check what they have in the Waiting channel column of System Monitor (processes tab) for the gvfs-fuse-daemon. [08:07] mzz: ohh sorry .. didn't see that is was about swap [08:07] luca__: so the actual problem is that you're not resuming properly, correct? [08:07] mzz: basically yeah, but [08:07] mzz: mzz cat /proc/swaps [08:08] whitevamp: seriously though, what's the issue. we can give it a shot [08:08] mzz: setting swappiness to 100, still the system does not use swap [08:08] \help [08:08] * shadeslayer shoots the wubi installer [08:08] arghhh irssi [08:08] duryodhan: or "swapon -s" [08:08] jtan325: wrong slash [08:08] yes. this is *too* awesome [08:08] mzz duryodhan: cat /proc/swap -> nothing [08:09] luca__: then you are not using swap === dronix[ub] is now known as dronix [08:09] luca__: and "swapon -s" (which probably just reads that file, but check)? [08:09] luca__: swapon -a [08:09] mzz duryodhan: /dev/sda6 partition 2104472 0 -1 [08:10] what the ... [08:10] duryodhan: first thing I tried after reboot :( [08:10] luca__: interesting. Did you "cat /proc/swaps"? You should at least get a header line... [08:10] Hey out their,is their a way I can resize the size of my swap,maybe increasing it [08:10] hey, does anyone know how to manually override rfkill state? [08:10] mzz: "no file or directory" [08:10] nmvictor: I'd add a swapfile if this is a temporary thing [08:10] nmvictor: easiest option would be gparted [08:10] nmvictor: I think you can have multiple partitions as swap partitions [08:11] luca__: I'm not in an ubuntu kernel right now but I'm pretty sure /proc/swaps normally exists... [08:11] mzz:hows that? [08:11] aspidites: i get through the install and reboot into ubuntu for it to finsh installing and i get the coammand line, and i looked in casper.log and it says it cant find my drives, and then it says it cant find the iso. witch i have dubbled checked and its in the c:/ubuntu/install dir.. so any idea on this? [08:11] hey, quick question. my ex gf is using slackware. does ubuntu make me a sissy? [08:11] nmvictor: I'd advise not to resize; I have quite some problems after I did it today :P [08:11] luca__: are you sure cat /proc/swaps didn't give anything ? [08:11] luca__: (also, on this system "swapon -s" reads /proc/swaps) [08:11] duryodhan: positive [08:11] timc: .....maybe [08:11] whitevamp: sounds like an /etc/fstab problem or grub issue [08:11] luca__: gave you *nothing* or gave you just a header line with no actual partitions listed? [08:12] timc: well very smart of you to ask in #ubuntu [08:12] duryodhan: my fault; had forgotten the final s [08:12] sorry [08:12] thanks Chowder [08:12] whitevamp: why not do a *proper* install? [08:12] i don't know where else to ask [08:12] Hello all...was wondering someone might be able to help me install ATI Graphics drivers for Ubuntu [08:12] timc: looks like your ex is more DIY [08:12] What's the Ubuntu equivalent to chkconfig --list on redhat based stuff? [08:12] duryodhan mzz same output as swapon -s [08:12] !ati | tyler [08:12] tyler: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:12] KB1JWQ: and what does chkconfig --list do? [08:12] luca__: so there is a swap.. [08:12] timc: if you really want to one-up her use Linux from Scratch on a separate partition [08:12] luca__: so whats the problem again ? :D [08:13] nmvictor: from memory: dd if=/dev/zero of=/some/partition/with/enough/space/swapfile bs=1M count=512 (for 512 MiB of swap), then "swapon /path/to/that/file". When done with the swap: swapoff /path/to/that/file, then rm the file [08:13] shows a list of what services are set to activate at startup [08:13] duryodhan: with swappiness 100, it is not used [08:13] she's going to slack from LFS [08:13] luca__: so ? [08:13] duryodhan: and no resume from hibernate :( [08:13] luca__: aah [08:13] o_O [08:13] whitevamp: honestly though, livecd install will be easier/cleaner than wubi [08:13] luca__: so afaict the only problem is it doesn't resume, unless it still doesn't swap after actually forcing enough ram used [08:13] looks like your ex is a well seasoned Linux user [08:13] MoKu23: the -s switch gives me a menu with options, lsusb will simply spit out everything it can find [08:14] aspidites: So chkconfig postfix on sets postfix to start at boot, chkconfig postfix off disables it at boot, and --list shows what services start at particular runlevels. [08:14] aspidites: prolbly a botched install ( have uninstalled and reinstalled 5X's, sence there is no fstab file in /etc, lol theres like 5 files there. [08:14] personally, I dualboot with Ubuntu and archlinux [08:14] i wonder how many girls use slack.... haha [08:14] luca__: mzz maybe its because your swap seems to be on an lvm ? .. does hibernate work wth that ? [08:14] duryodhan: I am trying to overflow ram, but with swappiness 100 it still should start to use swap earlier [08:14] timc: haahha [08:14] luca__: unfortunately for you I don't know how resume is handled on ubuntu [08:14] meh.... tired of tty,switching back to X :P [08:14] luca__: it is really hard on modern systems to make the kernel use the fs swap .. I have never managed it :D [08:14] how do I manually mount a usb mouse? [08:14] timc: or how many guyes opensuse ;) [08:14] duryodhan: could you please check with gparted what flags does your partition have? [08:15] brutus: you connect it [08:15] mzz thanks anyway [08:15] whitevamp: yeah, if theres no /etc/fstab, ther is somethind DEFINATELY wrong. that's how linux knows what drives exist. unless wubi does some voodoo magic [08:15] brutus: You don't mount mice. [08:15] brutus: you mount partitions, not devices [08:15] @brutus how much Gigabyte? [08:15] duryodhan: hibernate definitely can work with that (my swap is on lvm) but I use a custom initramfs. I don't know if ubuntu's initramfs can do this. [08:15] luca__: not on ubuntu right now [08:15] What are some frequent packages that 64 bit Ubuntu can't touch? Also, are there issues with Wine under the 64 bit version of Ubuntu? [08:15] hey, should i be able to video chat with ichat users in 9.04 using empathy? [08:15] KB1JWQ: aah. sorry, not sure of the equivalent === shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer [08:15] aspidites: No worries. Thanks anyway. :) [08:15] mzz: the swap did function until I resized it [08:15] mzz I am buffled honestly [08:16] duryodhan, KB1JWQ ActionParsnip rumpel2 I have connected it but it doesn't sense it [08:16] @brutus some kind of very exotic mouse? [08:16] KB1JWQ: seems the package exists on debian though, so it should be the same in ubuntu [08:16] aspidites: yea i wasnt sure if wubui installed some crazy file in place of fstab or not, so i wasnt sure. [08:16] luca__, maybe /etc/fstab is trying to mount the wrong partition i.e. the UUID of the partition might have changed [08:16] duryodhan: the most straightforward way to resume (resume=/some/partition option to the kernel) doesn't work with swap on lvm, unsurprisingly. You need the initramfs to run the "resume" userspace utility after spinning up lvm. Not hard, but the initramfs needs to figure out or know about your swap partition to do it. [08:16] brutus: is it ps2 or usb? [08:16] unop: already checked but thanks :) [08:16] KB1JWQ: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=chkconfig [08:16] rumpel2, nope, a normal optical mouse that works on windows === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [08:16] box: maybe,maybe not,ask in #telepathy ;) [08:16] ActionParsnip, its a usb mouse [08:17] luca__: did the partition number of the swap partition change in the process? [08:17] brutus: does it show up in lsusb [08:17] is there a way in irc to ignore the "joined" and "quit" messages? [08:17] KB1JWQ: it'd be your basic sudo apt-get install chkconfig [08:17] jtan325: depends on the client [08:17] jtan325: which client> [08:17] ? [08:17] hello [08:17] jtan325: which client? [08:17] irssi [08:17] armoredsaint: hi [08:17] ActionParsnip: brain wave ?? [08:17] @brutus vendor? model? wireless? [08:17] mzz: partition number no, but the UUID yes - I changed it in the fstab too every time [08:17] ActionParsnip, very strangely, lsusb causes my terminal to hang and I have to cross it out and restart the terminal [08:17] also, it'd be nice if different people's nicks could be colored differently. [08:17] luca__: oh, uuid change is a good point. I suspect you may have to regenerate the initramfs, but I don't know how to do that. [08:17] i'm such an irssi n00b [08:17] brutus: dmesg shows it being connected, or no? [08:17] aspidi tes: hi back at ya..what ru doig / [08:17] jtan325: use konversation or quassel then :) [08:18] mzz: ok, I have the strangest thing here [08:18] doing [08:18] brutus: Might be a bad mouse. [08:18] luca__: the resume happens (has to happen!) before the root partition is mounted. fstab isn't used here, but may be used when the initramfs is generated. [08:18] brutus: hmm, ok then take it out, wait 10 seconds, back in, 10 seconds, the run dmesg | tail [08:18] jtan yes, there would be...but in most cases it'd prolly involve a bit of scripting [08:18] I have an 80 gb sata HDD,15gb alocated for ubuntu,64 GB for windows vista and 700MB for linux swap.I have tried creating a new partition for logical drives,both with windows Disk management tool and ubuntus gparted but they have all failed.Now all I want is to add some MB to my linux swap.Or is their a more powerfull tool out their that would meet my every need? [08:18] brutus: problems with the mouse? [08:18] luca__, mzz update-initramfs(8) [08:18] ah, thanks [08:18] unop: thanks :) [08:18] jtan325, look up the numerics for joins and parts, and attach events to them which delete/suppress said msgs [08:18] shadeslayer, yes, usb mouse is not being detected when I plug it in [08:19] brutus: lsusb hangs? [08:19] luca__: (while the system is suspended the root partition is dirty. Mounting it would involve rolling back the journal, so it can't do that, has to figure out how to resume without reading the root partition) [08:19] ActionParsnip, [ 4860.308000] usb 2-2: USB disconnect, address 3 [08:19] aspidites: Was hoping not to install it; it feels like cheating to turn Ubuntu into RedHat. :-p [08:19] [ 4867.580000] usb 2-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 [08:19] [ 4867.756000] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [08:19] I'd know how to do it directly with mirc, but under Linux it might take a bit more doing === celthunds is now known as celthunder [08:19] shadeslayer, yes- very weird [08:19] mzz: yeah clear [08:19] brutus: try it from a tty [08:19] ok updating initram [08:19] brutus: And it doesn't work at all? [08:19] i think the command for the initramfs generation is mkinitcpio [08:19] brutus: use pastebin in future for multiple lines [08:19] argh, how do you page up/down? [08:19] try man mkinitcpio whoever was needing that [08:19] jtan325: page up key,in irssi [08:20] brutus: Okay, for laughs try a different USB mouse. Same issue? [08:20] ActionParsnip, sorry...any idea what the problem is? [08:20] shadeslayer: thanks [08:20] aspidites: so any idea on what would be causeing this botched install of wubi? [08:20] KB1JWQ, umm...I have just this one [08:20] jtan325: np [08:20] whoa is tab-completion [08:20] jtan325: there are scripts for different nick colors, I think. For page up/down you can (unsurprisingly) hit the pgup/pgdown keys on your keyboard :) [08:20] brutus: Hmm. Have another computer? [08:20] Or another OS on this one? [08:20] whitevamp: botched wubi :P [08:20] I'd be curious to see if the problem follows the mouse. [08:20] Petrus_: looks like i'll have to hit up the monstrous manual [08:20] brutus: try: sudo rmmod usbhid ; sleep 3; sudo modprobe usbhid [08:20] shadeslayer, the tty hangs too [08:20] Because I've never had issue under any OS with USB mice; they "just work" [08:20] mzz: thanks [08:20] KB1JWQ: lol. fair enough [08:21] mzz unop: ok I have done "sudo update-initramfs -c -k all" [08:21] jtan325: the /lastlog command really helps in busy channels like this (I'm typing "/lastlog jt 10" a lot to keep track of conversations) [08:21] jtan, the details might vary a bit by client, but the main thing you want, as I said, is the server numerics for joins and parts [08:21] unop mzz: I think I'll reboot now, and see if it functions. Thanks! :) [08:21] brutus: oh my,are you sure its hung up and simply not taking a bit long to detect the device [08:21] luca__: good luck... [08:21] whitevamp: since i've only tried wubi once ,and it was forever ago, no. sorry [08:21] mzz: thx [08:21] bye [08:21] cgfd [08:21] brutus: lsusb works without the mouse? [08:21] mzz: sweet, thanks. [08:21] shadeslayer, I'm guessing it hangs because ctrl-c doesn't stop it...and it takes too much time [08:22] mzz: please keep the tips coming [08:22] brutus: I wouldn't necessarily expect ctrl-c to stop it if the kernel's what's hanging. [08:22] whitevamp: cheap shot follows ---> leave it to windows to botch up something like installing an alternative os ;) [08:22] mzz: any idea on disabling/hiding the quit/joined? [08:22] shadeslayer: yes craped out install of wubi [08:22] shadeslayer, yup...without mouse too [08:22] aspidites: ok thx [08:22] ActionParsnip, ERROR: Module usbhid is in use [08:22] jtan325: see "/help ignore", but I don't have the actual command memorized [08:22] jtan325: I usually just ignore it. I've got a lot of irssi customizations that make it tolerable; run it in a screen session on a remote server. [08:22] brutus: so it doesnt work without the mouse too,thats......very strange [08:23] shadeslayer, in face...usb drives don't work too for some reason [08:23] *fact [08:23] the command is /ignore -channels #mwsf * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS [08:23] (yay google) [08:23] jtan325: (I don't have them ignored by irssi, I just don't pay attention to them) [08:23] * ActionParsnip does the vm dance [08:23] brutus: bad mobo maybe? [08:23] brutus: tried a different usb port? [08:24] jtan325: that sounds like it ignores nick changes, which I'd find confusing. [08:24] shadeslayer, shucks...I have a friend who has the exact same computer but has no problems...but the usb works on windows [08:24] mzz: yea i didn't do the NICKS part [08:24] brutus: The mouse also works in Windows? [08:24] hey guys, is it true that ubuntu switched to a new init script that apparently cuts down load time? if so, that could mean that usb devices aren't being reconized because the init process is happening too soon [08:24] just checking :) [08:24] ActionParsnip, nope...doesn't work in any of the 3 ports i have [08:25] brutus: hmmm maybe then the drivers arent properly loaded [08:25] KB1JWQ, it works on windows... [08:25] shadeslayer, how do I find out? [08:25] brutus: yeah im researching that [08:25] brutus: lsmod | grep usb me thinks [08:25] mzz: any other irssi tips?

[08:29] hm, xchat just disappeared [08:29] aspidites, it doesn't stop...when I plug it in it doesn't get detected, but on restarting the comp it works...I have to restart soemthing in /etc/init.d probably [08:29] !ati | tyler [08:29] tyler: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:29] shadeslayer, I'm stuck on what command I should enter to make it run. [08:29] shadeslayer, yes... [08:29] Q: i got my friends external fat32 usb drive, which automounts nicely under Ubuntu 9.04. But how can I change the permissions so I'm able to write and delete files on the disk, not only read? [08:29] I have an external usb hardrive and when ever I start up ubuntu I have to pull the usb cord and re plug it in for ubuntu to read it but my other OS reads it fine. How would I go about getting it to mount itself in ubuntu so I dont have to mess with the USB [08:29] dronix: xcaht [08:30] I copied old menu.lst and I could boot in Ubuntu after that but it can not recognize my windows disk any more as well as my usb stick with fat32 filesystem [08:30] dronix: *xchat [08:30] shadeslayer, oh * before it? [08:30] dronix: no [08:30] brutus: yeah, that's what it sounds like. painful, but you could try blacklisting modules incrementally to find out the culprit [08:30] oh lol, I already tried xchat, didn't work [08:30] man, overall, ubuntu's come a long way since i used it back in 5.X [08:30] brutus: then there is a service that needs restarting or module that needs probing out and in [08:30] jtan325: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi [08:30] ubuntumies: is it fat32? [08:30] shadeslayer: thank you, i have been there and thats what i am using for reference...I get to the point of installing the restriced driver manager, but it says i have the newest version, and when i go to check it in System-Admin its not there [08:31] brutus: sudo rmmod usbhid; sleep 3; sudo modprobe usbhid [08:31] ActionParsnip, how do I restart all usb related modules without restarting the machine [08:31] brutus:did restarting hal do it? [08:31] any recommendations for simple backup (besides rsync)? [08:31] Ast001, do you know, how your disc(s) are partitioned? [08:31] yes I know [08:31] shadeslayer, nope...it just restarted fine but to no effect [08:31] brutus: usbhid = human interface d which should be controlling the mouse [08:31] aspidites: yes, it's fat32. i also tried "sudo nautilus" in terminal, but it didn't help either [08:31] brutus: sudo modprobe -r usb* mabye? then modprobe them to put them back up [08:31] tyler: so the drivers are activated? [08:32] ubuntumies: dont run nautilus with sudo, you'll get issues, use gksudo [08:32] ubuntumies: you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab file [08:32] shadeslayer: no...i cant seem to get it to work [08:32] G'Day. I am trying to run a perl script. It gets to about 400Mb of memory before dying with the message "Killed". Is there a setting I can change in Ubuntu to allow it to continue? [08:32] ActionParsnip: ok, i will try that [08:32] ubuntumies: sudo is ONLY for cli apps like cp,apt-get, mv, touch [08:32] tyler: so no green light in the restricted drivers ?? did you restart ?? [08:32] aspidites: is there any way to change the way Ubuntu automounts external usb drive? [08:32] spacechicken: reasonably certain that's a perl enviroment issue. Try asking in #perl? [08:33] shadowslayer: Tried sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager [08:33] ubuntumies: gksudo is for graphical apps like gedit, nautilus etc [08:33] brutus: better? [08:33] ActionParsnip: that's new things for me, thanks for the advice! :) [08:33] KB1JWQ: will do. Just trying to ascertain the cause. Thanks [08:33] np man [08:33] ActionParsnip , brutus ,https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/36339 [08:34] spacechicken: might want to check "ulimit -a", just in case [08:34] shadeslayer: wow thats pretty hilarious [08:34] here is my menu.lst which worket with 8.04 http://pastebin.com/m1d7eb90d [08:34] spacechicken: I'd expect the limits to be higher than that, but I could be wrong. [08:34] ubuntumies: i don't know. i use archlinux. there, you change your hal and udev rules. i'm not sure of the ubuntuish userfriendly method to do this [08:34] Problem is that 9.04 is not recognize my entire hard disk /dev/sdb [08:34] there is no /dev/sdb anymore [08:35] ActionParsnip: ?? [08:35] ubuntumies: i imagine the easiest thing would be to add the external drive to your fstab file [08:35] brutus: ok looks like you gotta sudo rmmod usbhid [08:35] brutus; is this a new hardware setup? My gigabyte mb had the bios default of USB mouse support disabled. [08:35] shadowslayer: Keeps saying the package is the newest version...but when i look for it in the System-Admin it is not there [08:35] brutus: then plug in the mouse, then sudo modprobe usbhid [08:35] and when I put usb stick /dev/sdc it can not recongize it too and 8.10 could [08:35] mzz - max memory size is unlimited [08:35] brutus: have the mouse OUT before you run the rmmod command [08:36] aspidites, the irony is that the supposedly user friendly method ends up being far more difficult to use. ;) [08:36] brutus: out, rmmod, in, modprobe [08:36] ubuntumies: something like /dev/hda7 /home/extra vfat noauto,rw,users,umask=000 0 0" [08:36] Ast001, check gparted for renamed partitions and adapt menu.st [08:36] aspidites: that's one way to do it for sure, to edit the fstab file. i just thought there would be easy++ way to edit the automount options and let any additional usb fat32 drives to be mounted with 755 options or something. [08:36] ubuntumies: something like "/dev/hda7 /home/extra vfat noauto,rw,users,umask=000 0 0" in your fstab should work. change /dev/hda7 accordingly [08:37] I have checked with rescue CD every disk and partition is there. [08:37] aspidites: thanks for the tip, i will try that! ;) [08:37] brb [08:37] ubuntumies: yeah, only way i know to allow linux to automount all external fat32 drives is by editing udev rules, sorry [08:37] * mzz prefers fmask=111,dmask=000 over umask=000, iirc [08:37] I wonder why updater wrote wrong uuid to menu.lst during upgrade ? [08:38] Petrus: I hear ya. thats why i don't trust anything that says user-friendly anymore :) i do most everyhting by hand and text config files [08:39] anyway I don't need that proprietory spying software called windows... No big deal. Installer made me favour indeed. [08:40] whats the difference between sudo and gksudo [08:40] i never use gksudo [08:40] !gksudo [08:40] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"!

[08:59] yay for floppy disks [09:00] i miss the 5.25" ones...those were the shiz [09:00] !ot [09:00] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:00] aspidites: yeah its faily old, there have been revisions since [09:00] please take game chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [09:00] bazhang: a user was asking if a certain kind of game was in the repos [09:01] well cheers everyone im gna go thx for the help about openttd [09:01] funny how linux game chat gets referred to offtopic, but we can talk about goverments ontrolling the state of unix derivatives for 10 minutes without such requests [09:01] aspidites: its the discussion of the fact its on floppys and opinions of the game etc [09:02] ActionParsnip: i see. [09:02] so either people are finally going to sleep/work/school or everyone in the world learned how to use linux/ubuntu at once [09:03] aspidites: i have a problem [09:03] aspidites: i'm at work now [09:03] im at work AND i know how to use ubuntu [09:03] aspidites: mic volume is too low,cant get mic boost to work,any ideas? [09:03] shadeslayer: not meaning to insult your intelligence: did you check alsamixer? [09:04] ghanshyam [09:04] aspidites: yes,;) === user___ is now known as ghanshyam [09:04] shadeslayer: how about with the -c option? .. i think its -c [09:04] aspidites: everything is set to high :) [09:04] hi [09:04] aspidites: dont know how to use -c [09:04] i have getting problem while open Terminal.. [09:05] i m getting following error "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" [09:05] how can i solve this problem [09:06] shadeslayer: alsamixer -c 0 [09:06] shadeslayer: then try with a one. wait..doesn't ubuntu use pulseaudio? [09:06] shadeslayer: -c # refers to the soundcard number, as referenced by alsa in /proc/asound/cards [09:06] aspidites: same thing [09:06] Quick questions guys. Ever since the update the new version of Braserio has been in my updater but it wont let me update it. What's the problem here? [09:07] eNons3nse: what error is given when you try to update? [09:07] Gnea: i see all this talk of mic gain or mic boost in the forums,cant seem to enable it [09:07] eNons3nse: have you tried updating from the command line? [09:07] alsamixer will, as long as the settings for the system prefer pulseaudio, default to the pulseaudio mixer device when used without argument [09:08] shadeslayer: i know when i had mic issues, installing audacity and using it's config panel helped me diagnose the issue [09:08] shadeslayer: it's usually a switch in the mixer, 1 or 0 [09:09] aspidites: i have audacity,i use it,i can hear my voice after amplifying it,but its very low before proper amplification [09:10] shadeslayer: for instance, i use alsamixer -c 0 to access my soundcard mixer directly, bypassing the pulseaudio mixer, and i can dis/en/able the mic boost by selecting the 'Mic Boost' and then simply unmuting it [09:10] shadeslayer: of course, next to that, is the 'Mic' volume itself [09:10] Gnea: so ubuntu doesn't operate like this by default? [09:10] Gnea: thats the problem i cant see micboost as a option === scfh_ is now known as scfh === _t3ch is now known as t3ch [09:10] shadeslayer: what soundcard do you have? [09:11] shadeslayer: did you go to the other tabs in alsamixer? the one named "All"? [09:11] Gnea: ICH8 intel HDA [09:11] shadeslayer Gnea: some sound cards seem not to have this boost option, and i suspect, that it wont be listed, if that is the case...? [09:11] aspidites: yes [09:11] aspidites: it's a weird workaround [09:11] ok. I was able to update it with apt. [09:11] hmw: it's possible [09:11] ill brb [09:12] Gnea: would software mixing allow some sort of mic boosting? ie dmix or the like? [09:12] Gnea shadeslayer: you could maybe check, if this option is there in the windows mixer [09:12] so I have 1 more question. there's a new notification system now right? i don't think i've seen any. what's an action i can do to make one of these notifications appear? [09:12] hmw: no such option in windows [09:12] Hello, I have been having problems printing to my printserver, I keep having to convert the printfile to postscript 2 on the server and then print [09:13] eNons3nse: play a mp3 [09:13] in rhythmbox? [09:13] shadeslayer: i didnt follow your whole comversation... do you get at least something from the mike, or is it 100% silent? === _Ranakah is now known as vampire_ [09:13] hmw: i get *very* little sound [09:13] eNons3nse: yes [09:13] shadeslayer: have you read this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=928363 === vampire_ is now known as Ranakah [09:14] shadeslayer: nothing comes up [09:14] aspidites: i'm not sure, tbph, i only set it up minimalistically [09:14] re [09:14] shadeslayer: what's something else? [09:14] eNons3nse: IM [09:14] hmw: it might be there, just not enabled/selected [09:15] Gnea: just figured it might be an option for him, and i figured you'd be the one to best describe the steps to use it, since you are both in ubuntu [09:15] hmw, aspidites: if the soundcard itself has a MIC input, then it's going to have some sort of control for it [09:15] shadeslayer: ic. I am not a sound expert, especially not under linux *G*, but I see some options: You could get a new sound card or a better (active) microphone, or you could patch the mike through your Home Stereo for having a normal 5V line in signal, which you can record on your PC [09:15] Hey everybody. Is this bug going to be fixed in 2.6.28 soon? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/346691/ Because whole systems aren't working. And I can't switch to 2.6.29 due to dkms messing with my ati driver. [09:15] creative83: the bug report will tell you it's progress, much better than someone in this channel [09:16] creative83: it will be fixed when it gets fixed. [09:16] Gnea: you can see the future? :) [09:16] hi there, do you know where you login and type a username, can i rename them at all? [09:17] Gnea: read my palms :) [09:17] or do what I do: if all else fails, stick with stability ;) [09:17] aspidites: lol [09:17] Gnea: maybe with Linux this is so, but I've seen many sound cards with no option to increase mike volume on windows. Any idea, how to find out, how to tweak it, if even the original software wont allow it? [09:17] Gnea: i have everything in recording enabled and set to 100 pc,still low record volume [09:17] Hello... [09:17] shadeslayer: what software are you using for recording? [09:17] hmw: well, sometimes there are mixer options in the software mixer itself that are disabled by default [09:17] hmw: audacity [09:18] hmw: IOW, they're there, they're just not visible to the user right away [09:18] hmw: sound recorder,audacity [09:18] Gnea: ic. [09:18] shadeslayer: did you check that link? [09:18] * aspidites wishes he knew more about pc audio [09:18] hmw: i have to go for now,ill be back in 30 min [09:18] Gnea: ues [09:19] *yes [09:19] shadeslayer: reply #6 seemed to alude to the possibility of hidden functionality [09:19] Gnea: i have everything in recording set to 100 pc [09:20] shadeslayer: k, the mic boost doesn't have a scale, it's just an on/off thing... perhaps it can be found in preferences and then switching tabs? [09:20] shadeslayer: long shot, but try voice chat software. see if its just recording, or any mic activity that has low output [09:20] Gnea: everything enabled there too,no go [09:20] shadeslayer: skype has a built in mic test [09:20] aspidites: same problem with skype [09:20] shadeslayer: maybe the mic cord has a kink in it? [09:20] shadeslayer: damn [09:21] Gnea: in built,works fine in MS [09:21] shadeslayer: maybe you're just a low-talker and don't know it...like that seinfield episode :) [09:21] shadeslayer: hrm, in MS, does it give the boost option or does it all 'just work' like normal? === mirk_ is now known as mirk [09:22] Gnea: just work === akis is now known as yz250 [09:22] shadeslayer: got disconnected. looks like i don't have this notification system or it's turned off. is there settings somewhere i can look at? [09:22] Gnea: http://imagebin.org/47900 [09:22] Is it possible to fully rename a login user account on ubuntu? I cant find much on it [09:22] eNons3nse: try lowering you brightness or volume === akis is now known as yz250 [09:22] shadeslayer: shadeslayer nice. it's not in the switches tab? [09:22] shadeslayer: have you tried the console alsamixer? [09:23] Gnea: no :) [09:23] or just the gnome-alsamixer? [09:23] ... [09:23] aspidites: yes [09:23] btw, the knew dust theme for ubuntu is pretty sharp [09:23] yeah [09:23] shadeslayer: nothing [09:24] * DASPRiD purrs at aspidites [09:24] new* [09:24] hello) [09:25] well, you could always just yell really loud into the mic to produce normal levels [09:25] pulseaudio running but not getting sound in jaunty [09:25] :) [09:25] i'm a beginner in linux platform. I have installed amp in ubuntu 9.04 but php and apache does not work. How do i solve this? [09:25] sorry, i make stupid jokes when i'm frustrated and can't offer any useful advice [09:25] Who can help with Wine and Visual Studio? [09:26] dear friends, [09:26] g00dspeed: do you *need* visual studio? better question: *why* do you need visuaal studio? [09:26] hi, my dual screen stopped working after recent update (jaunty intel 965) it's 2x 1920x1200, I cannot get it back on, can anyone help? [09:26] HELP got pulseaudio running but not getting sound in jaunty [09:26] Hello, I have had a problem since Intrepid with ubuntu. My NIC doesn't seem to want to work after Hardy properly. The router light just flashes where it is hooked up , any ideas on what to do? I tried downloading the Intel linux drivers, but it doesn't do any good. If you want, you can read up at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22333666-Networking-Linux-support-Networking-error , any ideas on what to do next? [09:27] and for the record this also happens in Fedora10 [09:27] g00dspeed: i'm only asking because i doubt there is anyone here who can help you with wine. #winehq would be a better option for that [09:27] karol^, using nvidia or ati? [09:27] karol^, and, hi ;) [09:27] hi, intel 965 [09:27] shadeslayer: found a forum post. looks like notify-osd wasn't even installed. shouldn't that have happened when i upgraded the OS? [09:27] karol^: i JUST got dual-screen working again tonight. [09:27] karol^, whoops, didn't read that [09:27] aspidites ok, thanx [09:27] there was some update defaulting virtual resolution to 2048 [09:27] dear friends, in jaunty, the libpam-smbpass isn't doing what it is supposed to. OR i don't understand what its supposed to. does installing it mean that i don't have to run smbpasswd on all my users? [09:27] nvm the problem is in using the official ppd file... should just install the generic postscript 2 ppd [09:28] karol^: what i had to do was use xrandr to figure out the device name (as dictated by the driver) [09:28] then set up my xorg.conf appropriate [09:28] eNons3nse: yes it should have installed by default [09:28] jtan325_: I get an error from xandr that my resolution cannot be more than 2048 [09:29] karol^: this really helped me. http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [09:29] jtan325_: is yours >2048? [09:29] well guys/gals, i think i'm finally headed to bed [09:29] karol^: yes, it's two 1680x1050 monitors. [09:29] shadeslayer: i updated through the update manager rather than a fresh CD install. i wonder if there was a problem with it. [09:29] karol^, i'm running two 2560x1600, but well, nvidia not intel [09:29] I can't change wallpapers, themes, icons, anything without relogging in or rebooting. Any idea what may be wrong? :( [09:30] ( I'm using gnome on Jaunty ) [09:30] stjepan: nautilus daemon maybe malfunctioning? [09:30] how to fix it? [09:30] or gnome-setting-daemon [09:30] eNons3nse: maybe tha package was not downloaded [09:30] eNons3nse: !info notify-osd [09:31] aspidites: looks like gnome-settings-daemon is running [09:31] !info notify-osd [09:31] notify-osd (source: notify-osd): daemon that displays passive pop-up notifications. In component main, is optional. Version 0.9.11-0ubuntu3 (jaunty), package size 142 kB, installed size 780 kB [09:31] stjepan: thats the part i don't know... try running from command line to see what error is returned if anny [09:31] aspidites: Perhaps the X server is crashing? [09:31] makes me wonder what else i'm missing [09:31] robin0800: if that were the case, gnome wouldn't run at all [09:31] aspidites: no errors :-/ [09:31] eNons3nse: you could manually install that package ;) [09:32] and still doesn't work [09:32] shadeslayer: i just did [09:32] eNons3nse: works now? [09:32] stjepan: what if you log into safe mode and run gnome manually? [09:32] can i use this command to rename a login account? usermod -l login-name old-name [09:32] that is exactly the reason i use a update CD ;) [09:32] stjepan: that way you can monitor output for anything strange [09:33] shadeslayer: no. do i need to restart my WM? [09:33] I'll try [09:33] eNons3nse: yeah [09:33] stjepan: don'tremember the command though. gnome or gnome-session i think. [09:33] Hi, my terminal is set to charset utf-8 by default. When connecting to a server which charset is set to ISO-8859-15 I cant see the german umlauts. I do have to set my terminal to ISO-8859-15. Why? I thought utf-8 can interpret all chars? [09:34] petrolman: you need a unicode capable terminal [09:34] i installed ubuntu 9.04 on my eee pc 701, restarted it once, and now it's starting in low graphics mode. i tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and it didn't help. any ideas? [09:34] petrolman: off the top of my head, that includes urxvt, roxterm, sakura, and a couple of others. not sure if gnome-terminal is unicode. [09:34] g00dspeed: seen to much of " The Rock " lately?? ;) [09:35] petrolman: also make sure your locale is set correctly [09:35] !locale [09:35] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [09:35] g00dspeed yea) [09:35] shadeslayer yes) [09:35] ok, thanks aspidites [09:35] bita [09:35] (don't know now to spell that, sorry, lol ) [09:36] aspidites: all are dead in #winehq [09:36] aspidites: check out urxvt for unicode support [09:36] jtan325_: i use it already, and already recommended it :) [09:36] jtan325_: actualy, i'm using it rigt now 보찌?

Anyway this isn't an ubuntu problem and this is probably not the best place to ask :) [10:04] This is my first time using IRC chat, really good ah!

[10:09] ziroday, there are two hardisks, the one i set the password for via the bios... the second i don't know how to get into [10:09] ziroday, actually no... it says "no bootable drive" but i can boot from cd [10:09] i'm making a pkg. in order to install /usr/bin/foo, i need to have ./BUILD/usr/bin/foo and run dpkg -b ./BUILD ?

[10:10] ziroday, it didn't give me an option to partition the disks with the slider thingy (know what i mean) [10:10] michael_: ubuntu does _not_ have that option to "lock" your hard drive unless you are using the alternate cd and that is via encryption [10:10] ziroday, so i chose the "use largest unused space thing" [10:10] michael_: mmhm [10:10] ziroday, but the lock only happened after ubuntu install O_o lol [10:10] qiyong: ask in #ubuntu-motu [10:10] My English is very poor, Is there any IRC channel Chinese ah?

Whenever I start my computer, networkmanager supposedly connects to my wireless network. However, it won't be able to load any webpages. If access the router configuration page, it goes to a totally different router configuration page, unknown to me. If I fire up the network manager list again and click my network, then it reconnects and it works. If I repeat this, it will take me to the unknown [10:20] when I do this command : ufw allow proto udp 10.35.39.39 port 80 to 10.200.27.5 port 8080 [10:20] its gives a error [10:20] sorry for the long post [10:20] error404notfound: Wrong number of arguments [10:20] tried the man pages? [10:20] yes [10:21] chocobanana, do you happen to have 2 different networks with the same ESSID? [10:21] chocobanana: try remove all the settings in "Edit Connections" and then restart and try again [10:21] anyone ever had problems with braseo not fixating disks it seems only to happen with cds as far as i can tell the cds burnt ok its just this 'fixating' what does fixating mean anyways ? [10:21] Hello. I been dualbooting vista as my "backup" for certain programs that wouldnt smoothly with Wine, but now thinking of replacing Vista with Windows7RC. I am guessing Win7 install will place its own boot manager instead of grub. Anyone know if guides online for getting grub back with Vista-dual works for Win7 too? [10:22] Mechdave: I thought about that and no, I haven't 2 SSIDs. The unknown router configuration page is also from a router I do not own [10:22] ziroday: already tried that.... :( [10:22] !grub > pulzer [10:22] pulzer, please see my private message [10:22] chocobanana: well there goes my idea sorry :) [10:22] ziroday: thanks anyway!:) [10:22] Mud|afk: no idea [10:22] how can i use keyboard to move my mouse. i am tired of using my mouse! [10:23] sorry for being a cunt but did you even read my question shadeslayer? [10:23] Mud|afk: try googling [10:23] chocobanana, that is what made me think someone could have the same SSID as you have configured, what happens if you change your SSID to something completly different [10:23] pulzer: yes,if you carefully read the wiki your question will be answered [10:23] hello all Looking for some one familiar with Gnome [10:23] and the x11 system [10:24] Drikan: your in the right place ask your question [10:24] Drikan: just ask :) [10:24] or irc.gnome.org might be better [10:24] shadeslayer already done :s [10:24] ikonia: thanks [10:24] Mechdave: haven't tried that yet but that also occured to me... The thing is that I have various computers around, including another machine running 9.04 w/ wireless without any issues whatsoever... [10:25] Currently running ubuntu from usb stick. Unfortunately programs hang from time to time. Is this because of the usb2.0 device or can I do something to speed things up? [10:25] ok in win xp and an old copy of redhat 7.3 my x enviorment looked just fine but in ubuntu 1/2 of the screen looks as thow i have a memory issue [10:25] adac: probably the stick,low read write speeds [10:26] the colors dont quite display correct ly on the lower 1/2 of the screen the video card i have is a silicon motion [10:26] Mechdave: and it only started happening yesterday. I've been running 9.04 since the RC without any wireless issues... [10:26] now im pretty sure the red hat was using a basic generic driver for it [10:27] chocobanana, that is strange, how many wireless networks does the network applet show you? [10:27] AH! i royally messed up my system while installing ubuntu... nothing i run can recognize my disks... :( anyone know what irc channel i should go to for help? [10:27] Mud|afk: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall too? [10:27] ie - im in the live ubuntu cd again, and the partitioner doesn't see anything [10:28] but i think ubuntu is using the wrong driver for my video card [10:28] its running on an old Gateway laptop solo1150 [10:28] michael_: the partition table got corrupted maybe,i had the same problem,had to make a new table [10:28] Mechdave: around 10, including 2 or 3 unprotected. I suspect that for some reason it connects to one of the unprotected networks and it makes the connection under mine's name... [10:29] chocobanana, do you have security on yours? [10:29] shadeslayer, i can't even get there.. nothing is showing and no options are clickable [10:29] Mud|afk: sudo ufw allow proto tcp from 192.168.0.2 to any port 22 [10:29] Mechdave: yes [10:29] michael_, if you go into BIOS and select autodetect hard drives does it show you the ones installed? [10:29] hmm [10:29] michael_: um can you boot the live cd? [10:30] shadeslayer, yes [10:30] Mud|afk: from here https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html [10:30] so how do i see what x11 is using and how do i see a list of like drivers that i can switch X11 to [10:30] ? [10:30] I am reading now shadeslayer that ufw is only for incomming traffic [10:30] chocobanana, I have never heard that happening before [10:30] Mechdave, im trying to run the onboard diagnostics now... i didn't see autodetect but i'll try it [10:30] I want to redirect traffic :o [10:30] michael_: so the HD is not even detected as in live cd shows no HD's ? [10:30] ive used linux before but its been a few years [10:30] Mechdave, but in the diagnostics it already said "no hard drives detected" :( :( [10:30] shadeslayer, exactly :( [10:31] Mechdave: oh wait... I'm looking at my resolv.conf file and it's directing to a specific domain name... [10:31] hey, i'm looking for a good open source virtualising application. can someone give me a hint which one i should use? [10:31] michael_: loose cable,etc? [10:31] shadeslayer, hmm stick (sandisk) should be quite fast... Can i check somehow the usb device if it is really 2.0? [10:31] shadeslayer, laptop [10:31] anyone knows why dosbox doesnt work properly wigth 9.04? [10:31] shadeslayer, do you know if Ubuntu needs the BIOS to detect the disks even though it doesn't use it for acces? [10:31] Mechdave: let me check what's on the other 9.04 machine.... [10:31] adac: lsusb might show it [10:31] Mechdave, it told me i need a dell tech support.. blah [10:31] Lovis: virtualizing OS's? Virtualbox might be the thing for you, there's an opensource edition in the ubuntu repositories. [10:32] shadeslayer, what could i have done wrong in the ubuntu install? [10:32] thx djiezes [10:32] shadeslayer: gonna try it with iptables (again :< ) [10:32] michael_: no idea,you did it :P [10:32] shadeslayer, http://pastebin.com/m6d7932e1 [10:32] iptables..prrrrr [10:32] chocobanana, isn't the resolv.conf re written every time a new connection is made? [10:32] brrr* [10:32] seems to be 2.0 [10:32] Mud|afk: didnt the wiki help? [10:32] michael_, Uh-Oh [10:32] Mechdave: no idea [10:32] Mechdave: I believe so [10:33] no shadeslayer, I want to redirect traffic, so ufw doesnt suite my situation [10:33] Mechdave: I'm gonna do some tinkering and I'll be right back [10:33] michael_, Maybe try the BIOS autodetect then, fingers crossed [10:33] adac: yep 2.0 [10:33] chocobanana, right you are :) [10:33] Trying to install binary ATI drivers using the envyng program, it throws a long python traceback which I can pastebin. This makes me very very sad. [10:33] Mechdave, well i installed windows, it worked fine... then loaded the live cd, installed ubuntu, then this happened [10:33] hi, I made a audio disk (with just one song on it) a few weeks ago, I unchecked the "Close after writing" thingey on the disk, and I want to add a audio file to it (mp3, but brasero converts that into "cd format"). How do i do that ? I only get options like "copy disk" etc [10:34] shadeslayer, hmmm: http://pastebin.com/m15ad36f8 well does the bus tell the usb slot? [10:34] what's the correct syntax to run apg and pipe it's output as an argument to a php script? [10:34] usb slot? [10:35] shadeslayer, well is Bus 001 the usb slot itself [10:35] what is device 004 then? [10:35] adac: HD's have read write speeds of 50 Mbps,flash disks have 15-20 mbps thus they are quite slow [10:35] Niek, if you write the disk as you would a blank, I think brasero will find out it is a non closed disk and then change the burning accordingly [10:35] shadeslayer, I see! [10:36] Mechdave: well, it doesn't. I say "new audio project", drag my music file into it, and i say "burn" and then it says I didn't insert any recordable disks [10:36] adac: i have such ports myself,they are internal slots,cannot be used [10:36] so dose any one have any ideas? [10:37] adac: http://pastebin.com/d5cc5193b [10:37] Mechdave, where would that be..? i can't seem to find it [10:37] shadeslayer, ok thx! [10:37] adac: better install to HD ;) [10:38] shadeslayer, :P [10:38] shadeslayer, so even a external usb hd would be better? [10:39] adac: depends,if it can utilize the full potential of the port then maybe yes [10:39] shadeslayer, definitely worth a try then :) [10:39] Ponders /ignoring shadelayer, due to system beeps on the ada hilight... [10:39] adac: yeah,up to you, [10:39] linny: so where do i change my video drivers in X win? [10:40] michael_, The auto detect usually is in the BIOS settings (usually Del whilst booting to access) and on your comp I am not sure where you would find the auto detect, have a browse around but don't save any configurations [10:40] Ada2358: remove it then ;) [10:40] shadeslayer, aye! [10:40] I might just part ubuntu [10:40] Ada2358: too crowded/ [10:40] :P, the ada highlight is what I highlight on elsewhere [10:40] michael_, which model do you have? [10:41] Ada2358: don't add to the channel noise with your pondering , your irc client can be configured to not beep [10:41] Ada2358: im going in 2 min [10:41] Sorry about that, I'll duck out for now [10:42] Mechdave, inspiron 6400 [10:44] so can some one inform me where to change my video driver? [10:46] hi there ... would anyone like to take a really quick Linux survey for me? I run the FSRC wordpress blog and wanted to post a series of feedback from Linux or non-Linux users ....

I get "no block devices found" when I try to install ubuntu [10:47] zfmf, try "aptitude search khtlm | grep png" or something like that [10:47] hi Drikan ... how are you doing .. ?

I don't know brasero well enough [10:48] its not nvidia is a silicon motion chip [10:48] the installer finds the devices but when I try to boot the installed ubuntu everything fails [10:48] Got nothing... [10:49] can you get root consol? [10:49] Drikan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [10:49] !root [10:49] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[11:14] Drikan: saves having to open a browser [11:14] using ${rss http://phorolinux.com/feed 60 item_titles 10} [11:14] !pastebin | Drikan [11:14] Drikan: 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) [11:14] OK, im annoyed, what on earth is controlling the hotkeys? [11:14] and i keep getting this error prss:Error reading RSS data [11:15] what could be the issue [11:15] oh whoops [11:15] ??? [11:15] peppot: compile it yourself [11:15] peppot: of find a repo with it on [11:15] Why is the gnome-hotkeys used when i run fluxbox? [11:15] anyone tried zfs on linux? [11:15] ActionParsnip, if I wanted to or felt comfortable doing so, I'd not use ubuntu... the mess of mainting self-compiled modules etc over kernel versions... just too much work [11:15] deus: did you install fluxbox on ubuntu? [11:15] one sec need to install it [11:16] !zfs | lundh [11:16] lundh: For information concerning ZFS and Ubuntu, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS [11:16] peppot: then you wont get the functionality you want [11:16] i upgraeded to 9.04 [11:16] ActionParsnip: [11:16] Gnea: Sorry, what are archive-key-signatures? [11:16] deus: you missed my point, did you manually install fluxbox after installing ubuntu [11:17] jondgls: it's a package available on the launchpad site that's supposed to cure the problem: https://code.launchpad.net/~mvo/apt/archive-key-signatures [11:17] if manual you mean trough the packagemanager, then yes === VoX is now known as vox [11:17] peppot: not all hardware works without some compiling, especially alsa for the folks who insist on using creative soundcards [11:17] this is really annoying. I can install ubuntu but I cant boot the installation :( [11:17] deus: then all the gnome packages that were in ubuntu will still be present in the fluxbox session [11:17] Hi all, im trying to install windows xp as dual boot but it keeps saying that it cannot write into the MBR because the file type is unknown (ext4). just wondering if there is a work around? [11:17] insist on Creative? [11:17] I have no idea what I do wrong [11:18] anyone here familiar with apt-mirror? [11:18] professor_: no, avoid imo [11:18] ActionParsnip: I use Audigy what's wrong with that [11:18] just trying to find out if / how I can get it to download x86 aswell as amd64 for the mirror. [11:18] professor_: their support is garbage, even for windows. ive seen too many folks come in with issues with them [11:19] ActionParsnip: yes, but why are they enabled, and specificly what program circumvents my hotkey setup on fluxbox? [11:19] jondgls: hrm, actually, ubuntu-keyring should have it..

[11:20] I'm using ubuntu jaunty [11:20] deus: its enabled due to it being loaded as part of the ubuntu system, flux is then just the front bt you see. [11:20] looking [11:20] hi , i have gusty , anyone know some sources.list [11:20] deus: theres ~/.fluxbox/keys which will allow you to specify ANY shortcut keys you like [11:20] to gusty [11:20] deus: fluxbox has AWESOME shortcut key support [11:20] omeil: onboard realtek stuff has always worked for me and it makes a noise [11:21] ActionParsnip: yes, and it is as i left it, the .fluxbox/keys dont do anything [11:21] !register | ye [11:21] ye: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname .

[11:21] desti_T2: wront target [11:21] ActionParsnip: seems the hardware is great but software is crap like ou say [11:21] mod1 [11:21] I agree [11:21] ok ctrl alt f1 got me into virtual terminal, now how do i get out? [11:22] professor_: yep, so i avoid [11:22] brzfw: ctrl+F7 [11:22] deus: mod = superkey [11:22] no that cant be the problem, because when i press alt+f2 which is suppose to change my virtual desktop [11:22] ActionParsnip: yes i know that but what would the superkey be [11:22] alt+f7 [11:22] deus: its case sensitive too, look at the examples and you can set your own stuff [11:22] deus: i think Mod2 = alt === ye is now known as huye [11:22] brzfw: sorry alt+F7 [11:22] left alt [11:23] deus: its all in the documentation online, its awesome [11:23] fosco_: thank you1 [11:23] There is stuff there that wasnt there to begin with when i pres alt f2 i get the quicklaunch bar [11:23] deus: you'll find a lot of the time that the folks in #fluxbox are a bit snotty, or asleep. sometimes you get a nice one [11:23] alt-f1 starts up xterm [11:24] deus: can you pastebin your keys file please [11:24] ActionParsnip: LOOK! somehow gnome's shit got tangled with fluxbox configuration [11:24] Mod1 F1 :Workspace 1 [11:24] deus, ActionParsnip, isn't it ctrl-alt-f1 , f2, f7 etc.. ? [11:24] Drikan: that's just ... i don't know... what make/model is the laptop? [11:24] deus, System --> Preferences --> Keyboard Shortcuts will let you customise the shortcuts to what you want [11:25] deus: then uninstall whatever gnome thing is running [11:25] deus: Does Win+F1-F4 change workspaces? [11:25] deus: can you see gnomes desktop? [11:25] THATS what i was trying to ask about [11:25] I'm still getting getting frequent lockups after converting to ext3. Can I have someone who recently clean installed Jaunty pastebin his/her /etc/fstab? [11:25] deus: thats confusing the show [11:25] what deamon is it [11:25] geirha: i dont have a win button [11:25] Gena: its a gateway solo 1150 [11:26] !laptop [11:26] I need to know the flags for mounting the drives (i.e. / , /boot, /home) [11:26] 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 [11:26] deus: gnome-settings-daemon I think. Try "ps -ef | grep gnome" [11:26] Gnea: dont know anything about that stuff so I was looking for a good resource to read up and try to solve the problem [11:26] Hi all, im trying to install windows xp as dual boot but it keeps saying that it cannot write into the MBR because the file type is unknown (ext4). just wondering if there is a work around?

Or do you have a meta key instead? [11:26] indus: please stop that [11:26] Mechdave: thank you [11:27] syockit, no worries [11:27] ok [11:27] omeil: what is complaining ? [11:27] Mechdave: oh, it's ext4.... [11:27] geirha: i got the best keyboard in the world the old IBM ps2 keyboard [11:27] deus, I am not sure what you mean by daemon? [11:27] syockit, Oh oops, you wanted ext3 didn't you [11:27] deus: try: dpkg -l | grep hotkey [11:27] is gnome-voice-control 0.3 easy to install on ubuntu 9.04 64bit? [11:27] Drikan: did you install the standard ubuntu or something else like xubuntu/kubuntu? [11:28] Mechdave: do you get lock-ups? [11:28] ikonia: its saying that it can't install due to an incompatible file system E: deus: or dpkg -l | grep -i key | less [11:28] you looking for hotkey-setup [11:28] syockit, I get a hard drive I/O error which stops the whole show :( But lockups as such no [11:28] omeil: windows does not care about file systems, can you take a screen shot of this error [11:28] deus: try it [11:29] hi [11:29] syockit, Have you tried looking at /var/log/messages for clues on what could be doing it? [11:29] its just a package its not a program [11:29] Anyone run the game flyff under wine? [11:29] attleast i dont know the binary to it [11:29] Mechdave: hmm, you mean you don't get into situation where only the mouse pointer moves, but nothing else responds, forcing you to reboot? [11:29] arkos: best bet is people in #wine-hq [11:30] ok thx [11:30] arkos: #winehq - sorry [11:30] jondgls: might have found the fix... checking [11:30] Mechdave: hmm, I haven't taken a look at the logs since Jaunty was released. will try again [11:30] syockit, yeah that has happened a couple of times, I do a ctrl + alt + f1 to console and see that I hace I/O errors on /dev/sda [11:31] *have* [11:31] deus: you could disable it from running as a daemon in your rc levels [11:31] ikonia: ill be back soon il take some photos with my camera [11:32] omeil: super === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [11:32] syockit, But funnily enough it has only happened since I plugged in my 80Gig SATA drive [11:32] Mechdave: well, at least you get to ctrl+alt+f1... I can only alt+sysRq+b to reboot [11:33] syockit: doesnt sudo shutdown -r now work? [11:33] ActionParsnip: because I was on a xorg session (gnome), and can't change to tty, so I can't do that [11:33] jondgls: found it: http://blog.launchpad.net/ppa/adding-a-ppas-key-to-ubuntu [11:33] syockit, how often does it happen? is there anything that tends to trigger it (like opening programs etc)? [11:33] syockit: strange [11:34] in some instances i started up gnome-config-deamon and use gnome-control-panel [11:34] Mechdave: i say, firefox is the main culprit [11:34] but i cant remeber it overode fluxbox regarding hotkeys [11:34] Gnea: thanks i'll check it out! [11:34] and i dont used gdm either only startx [11:35] syockit, I suggest cat /var/log/messages > messages.txt (so you can see the messages before they scroll past the window. It will create a file messages,txt) [11:35] and gnome-settings-daemon is not running [11:36] so that cant be the source [11:36] ciao [11:37] ciao a tutti [11:37] Mechdave: am viewing using vim for now. I'm going to play with the browser for a while to trigger a lockup, then reboot and diff. see you soon [11:38] syockit, Maybe I will do some digging on my own system in a bit in an endeavour to illuminate the source of my lockups ;) [11:38] !it | shaky [11:38] shaky: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [11:38] syockit, no worries [11:38] i've formatted my usb drive filesystem as ext4, but its not mounted properly, i cannot write to it, how do i fix the permissions? [11:39] marcel_, how have you mounted it? [11:39] Mechdave, its automounted by xubuntu [11:40] marcel_, does it have an entry in /etc/fstab? [11:41] marcel_: can you even write to it as superuser / root? [11:41] Mechdave, no, its mounted as /media/disk [11:41] Mechdave, as root yes === danopia` is now known as danopia [11:41] try "sudo chown /media/disk" [11:41] grazi [11:41] guess then its just a matter of giving correct permissions rather than filesystem checking it. [11:41] does projectM still work? [11:41] rumpel2, thanks, that works [11:42] marcel_, so it is a permissions thing, you can mount it as rw but I am not sure how to do it with the xubuntu automounter [11:42] Mechdave, thanks for the help, works now after changing the ownership to myself [11:42] reid: the music visualizer thingie? [11:43] marcel_, no worries [11:43] Radtoo: yessir [11:43] Radtoo: I'm trying to figure out if there is really a stable package for it or if I have to do some svn guesswork [11:46] reid: dunno how to rate "really stable" but there is a package for it... libvisual-projectm, no? === Chr|s_ is now known as Chr|s [11:47] reid: or libprojectm2 for version 2 of projectm, I guess. [11:47] Radtoo: I haven't been able to find any information on it frankly, but thats enough for me to at least do some more research.. [11:47] Radtoo: the website seems to be updated like.. once every 6 months lol [11:47] hello all, I have two ISP routers, is it possible to install a linux box to provide redundancy if any of the routers failed the another take the place ? [11:47] oh Gnea: sorry was editing my xorg.conf didnt see you type me somthing no standard ubuntu [11:48] achilles, anything ist possible :) [11:48] when i run "e2fsck -f /media/PORTABLELNX/casper-rw" in terminal it returns "/media/PORTABLELNX/casper-rw: 29928/64000 files (2.9% non-contiguous), 244581/256000 blocks". then when i run "resize2fs /media/PORTABLELNX/casper-rw" it says "Please run 'e2fsck -f /media/PORTABLELNX/casper-rw' first." what should i do? [11:48] hi im using 8.04 and i want to update network manager for latest for mobile broad support is there anyway to do that [11:48] Hey guys I just had a really weird problem, trying to figure out what could cause it: I suspended, woke the machine back up, wireless wouldn't connect, rebooted, now all Ubuntu desktop settings (panels, compiz, etc) are reset to defaults! wtf? [11:48] (Ubuntu 9.04) [11:48] hi [11:49] rumpel2, :) [11:49] details ? [11:49] reid: Yes, seems like it's a small "spare time" project... [11:49] achilles, well... you can put script on both router, which adapts the route, if on of them is not responding for pings... [11:49] My natural language is Italian but i've installed jaunty in English. How can I change the system date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy ? [11:50] Also, when i used ctrl+alt+f8 and the like [11:50] strixv: wireless wouldn't connect sounds like a known bug, but desktop settings reset?!?! [11:50] I CANT GET TO A COMMANDLINE [11:50] something like that... perhaps, there are more conveniant solutions out there [11:50] what filesystem should i use if i want encryption? [11:50] reid: If you want more updates, I guess you'd have to make them yourself. ;) [11:50] rumpel2, it seems like heartbeat .. but it's not what I'm looking for [11:50] deus: ctrl+alt+f1 [11:50] i enabled killx but when i used it all i get is a striped screen [11:51] fosco_: nothing [11:51] hi i just installed xubuntu on my pc and want to mount the windows partition to get at my files on there, how do i do this. i could mount the hard drive running the live cd but now i've installed it can't seem to get at the other partition. [11:51] rumpel2, sometimes fail comes from the ISP [11:51] gnea: check PM [11:51] fosco_: the blinking - is there but i cant relay any input [11:51] hi, i can't make crontab work any suggestion? [11:51] syockit: Yeah exactly, desktop settings all reset like I deleted some /home/user/.gnome stuff [11:51] deus: it happens sometimes when having problems with framebuffer in console === roy__ is now known as AMOR [11:52] ozzer: honestly the easiest way to have done this would have been during the install. You can mount the existing partition at /windows, and tell ubuntu not to format it [11:52] Gnea: brb restaring [11:52] syockit: Also, my nautilus bookmarks list has disappeared. When I drag something into it, it sits there for .5 seconds and then disappears too [11:52] deus: use startupmanager and try a lower init resolution [11:52] strixv: but you're still logged in? on were you logged out when you resumed? [11:52] fosco_: what startupmanager? [11:53] ive changed a file in modprobe.d folder, how do i regenerate the needed files for booting ? [11:53] syockit: Yeah I'm still logged in. I restarted a few times, logged in, same user, only 1 user on the system anyway [11:53] reid: is there another way short of reinstalling it [11:53] I still have all my /home/user files [11:53] deus: sudo aptitude install startupmanager && sudo startupmanager [11:54] wait, what does the init resolution have anything to do with that? [11:54] ozzer: how can't you get at the other partition? on the ocmmand line? [11:54] strixv: yeah, but what about .gnome or .local files? I'm suspecting either they're corrupted, or loaded read only, or something else I can't think of [11:54] how do i make sure that logrotate is working? [11:54] syockit: Yeah it seems like it's gotta be something like that. Weird behavior all over the board. For example, the google search box in Firefox just stopped working. Can type in it, but pressing enter does nothing. [11:55] ozzer: You could edit fstab, but if you are very new to linux this is a bit scary and might take you just as long as just reinstalling o.O [11:55] ozzer: actually, you might be able to do it with gparted or some other GUI thing nowadays.. [11:55] syockit: Is there a way to do a scan for hard disk corruption in Ubuntu? [11:55] strixv: sure, multiple. [11:56] strixv: I personally like using smartctl -t long on the command line [11:56] ok [11:56] I've installed ubuntu 8.04 server. I'm not sure if logrotation.d is getting invoked. How do I ensure that? I can't find any cronjob anywhere installed for it [11:57] Radtoo: when I install that it tries to set up some Postfix stuff [11:57] !mp3 [11:57] 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 [11:57] Radtoo: ok got it with "no configuration" [11:57] strixv: The log then can be viewed with smartctl -a. It does a lot of tests... [11:57] strixv: what? - - [11:57] http://pb.luahelp.com/883 why is it so? [11:58] Radtoo: It has some mail options. Do you have a suggestion for a graphical one as well that doesn't involve log files? I've spent forever poring over the system logs trying to figure it out already [11:58] Drikan: you should get a different ubuntu derivative - your system is too slow for standard ubuntu [11:59] Gnea: well every thing works just the pesky video issue [11:59] strixv: No. I don't use any mail options, but I also don't use any graphical things when I just need information. :) [11:59] fosco_: this cant be the problem, the bootloader menu can be seen plainly, and i uninstall gdm so i go directly into terminal and that works fine at first before i start x [11:59] ok [11:59] Drikan: have you used older ubuntu versions on it? [11:59] Drikan: dont give up, where there is a will, and all that [11:59] Gnea: hell its runing better then XP did [11:59] lol [12:00] crontab problem, anybody? am i the only one having this problem? [12:00] well, it's ubuntu, of course it runs better than XP ;) [12:00] m [12:00] peterloorke: don't know about a crontab problem - works fine here [12:00] bom dia [12:00] Gnea: XP runs as good [12:00] oh, i see T_T [12:00] gnea: no i just got the laptop and using it to study for school [12:00] whats my best choice of app to run a VM on ubuntu? [12:00] como funciona?? [12:00] peterloorke: what's the problem? [12:00] indus: runs it into the ground good? [12:01] Most OS's are ok :) [12:01] simply it does not work [12:01] wildc4rd: virtualbox [12:01] XP is better than Vista, but Ubuntu is better than both :) [12:01] peterloorke: is crond running? [12:01] !br | cipo [12:01] Gnea: right on :) [12:01] cipo: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado.

[12:02] wait i have to look (i wish this is not my problem if so i'm gonna kill myself lol) [12:02] :D [12:02] I dual boot [12:02] clearly [12:02] always have done [12:02] i've installed xulrunner-1.9.1 to try out the new firefox, and now both evolution and liferea don't launch, just print "Aborted" in the console. i do have evolution-rss installed. is there any workaround other than remove the firefox beta? [12:02] strixv: At least I can vouch that a long SMART test is fairly reliable... (There's no better test routines I know of). [12:02] cant get WoW to run in Linux :) [12:02] omg [12:02] Gnea: this isnt a windows support forum or i would have helped you with it [12:02] drkimble: it's tricky, but can be done [12:02] drkimble: well, you could.

[12:04] whats it run like though, every millisecond is life or death :) [12:04] strixv: you have to specify the device, yes. like /dev/sda or /dev/sdb [12:04] * Gnea doesn't waste his time playing WoW, so not sure ;) [12:05] well inany case Ubuntu installed when Fedora 10 did not [12:05] * drkimble wastes a lot of time [12:05] Gnea: you imply that you have better things to do [12:05] Boohbah: indeed. the battle for wesnoth is a much cheaper time waster. [12:05] Boohbah: i restarted cron and it did non work, again. [12:06] strixv: As it runs on the device, no other "locations" are necessary. It will test it thoroughly (without command line output) due to you using the "long" routine, and log the result(s) to the drive. Which logs you can get at with smartctl -a. Does that explain things? [12:06] reid: where is fstab and what would need editing? [12:06] Hi, ever since I upgraded to jaunty, I've been facing a problem with playing videos in vlc. The video no longer runs within the main window, rather, it runs in a separate window called "XVideo output" [12:06] How to correct it? [12:06] best thing about Linux is you know nowt is spying on you in some closed program, then again if you have google earth running you never know whats going on I suppose [12:06] alright, I'm trying to make a key using gpg --gen-key, but when it asks for more entropy, it never catches up - how can I correct this? [12:07] * Kovensky would encourage to not use VLC but that isn't the point [12:07] Radtoo: Yep I've got a list here of some errors and stuff recorded by SMART [12:07] How can I schedule a disk check for the next time I restart Ubuntu? [12:07] Gnea: keep mashing your keyboard? [12:07] strixv: that's entirely not the same :) [12:07] Kovensky: did that for a few minutes straight. nada [12:07] http://kr0y.mybrute.com/ [12:07] Kovensky, what else to use, if not vlc? [12:07] Is there a good place to find information on reducing firefox's idle CPU usage? I regularly have b/w 15 - 20% idle CPU usage, even when the window is minimized... ? [12:07] strixv: its good that you got logs but the type of check you think of from the windows world is not mainly a hardware check, but a data check [12:07] I use mplayer [12:08] Radtoo: That's ok, I'd like to let it run through the check that I always skip ;) [12:08] Prabz: i think you can change that setting in vlc options. [12:08] Prabz: just change the video output plugin in the preferences [12:08] Radtoo: And I don't understand a word in the logs [12:08] Prabz: make it like opengl or x11 [12:08] anyway, any idea what might have caused https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/174175 to hit me on jaunty? :/ [12:08] strixv: The data checks on ubuntu run as needed (like they do in newer versions of XP). You could run one manually with the filesystem utilities but I don't think you "schedule" them any time. [12:08] firefox worked perfectly for me while I was using the alphas, borked after I upgraded to the final :/ [12:09] tried downgrading already, nothing [12:09] i cant make another partition from my sda1 pls help === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [12:09] demon_: sda1 is a partition, you can't partition it further [12:09] demon_: you can't make partitions inside partitions [12:09] Kovensky, i want to make another one :) [12:09] strixv: Sorry, meant to say windows XP and newer. And well, you don't need to understand much more in the logs than that the drive's hardware is broken in some parts, perhaps? [12:10] demon_: then make it on sda [12:10] demon_, you can use something like gparted to do that. keep in mind that you can't be using that particular partition at the time you *resize* it. [12:10] Gnea, i dont have sda just sda 1.2 and 5 [12:10] you can partiion it into directories... [12:10] Radtoo: Okay I'd like to run one manually with the filesystem utilities... but I haven't found it in the menus [12:10] heh [12:10] strixv: Usually the suggestion is to return the drive when it has errors other than reads that took too long or something, as that indicates actual seriosu damge to hardware. [12:10] live cd ??? i can do with that can i [12:11] demon_: sda is the whole disk, 1, 2 and 5 are partitions. again, you can only partition the whole disk, not partitions (unless it's extended) [12:11] Radtoo: And I'll just do that after I let it finish this 88 minute smart test ;) [12:11] !partitions | demon_ [12:11] demon_: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [12:11] djiezes, Gnea , I've tried resetting all preferences, made it opengl, X11, whatever I do, it just changes the title of the separate window [12:11] demon_, so, for example, if your entire hard drive is one big partition (sda1), you would resize sda1 to a smaller size, then create a new one in the empty space. [12:11] strixv: Its all command line... what type of a filesystem do you have? (can check with "mount") [12:11] rdw200169, i cant resize my sda1 dunno why [12:11] demon_, yes, the ubuntu live cd has gparted, which consequentially works better than the installer's partition tools [12:12] Radtoo: An ext1 filesystem on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5 [12:12] demon_, what did you use to to do that? what type of partition is it? === ubuntu is now known as a8lia [12:12] rdw200169, my sda1 is locked [12:12] ext3 [12:12] demon_: you can't do anything while it's mounted, that's why you need the livecd [12:12] anyone knows why in 9.04 the terminal window autoresizes when I run Vim in it and how to disable it? [12:12] lol [12:12] Boohbah: i restarted cron and it did non work, again. Also when i'm trying to log cron with this append or whatever thing ( > ) it don't works too [12:12] Gnea, yeap thanks lemme find a live cd :) [12:13] any community for C Begineers [12:13] demon_: try sysrescue cd its great for partition stuff http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [12:13] c_nick: #programming or #c [12:13] thanks [12:13] lemme reboot [12:13] cheers [12:13] Prabz: somewhere on the first page of preferences, there's an option to 'integrate video in interface'. maybe that's what you're looking for. [12:14] strixv: with that one you actually could cause it to fsck on reboot... tune2fs -c 1 /dev/hdaX [12:14] djiezes, toggling that option doesn't make a difference [12:14] * Gnea is trying to sign the ubuntu CoC but can't get the farking key made....

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:14] c_nick, there are also many many websites that help you learn C, particularly on linux, where things are free, regardless, for the best experience, it is highly recommended that you pick up the #1 reference for C, K&R: "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie. [12:15] strixv: note that I copy / pasted this one. Its more likely that you got /dev/sdaX or something. And the "1" means check on every boot... it will happen until you change it back [12:15] hi can anyone assist with dual screen ? have got it working somehow but not sure how to switch between primary and secondary ? [12:15] i have an intel video card [12:15] Radtoo: ok great thanks a lot for that command! [12:15] strixv: (normal is more like 20 or something, not 1) [12:15] JessicaParker, darn! I know a lot about doing it with Nvidia, but not intel :( [12:15] JessicaParker: did you put the same desktop across both or 2 different desktop on both? [12:16] Prabz: the option to put video & controls in 1 window should be somewhere there in preferences. also check skinning options. [12:16] 2 different desktops [12:16] JessicaParker: that leads me to believe that there are 2 separate X servers running - would that be correct? [12:16] rdw200169: ohh ok i wanted to help someone with their Basic C difficulties... thats all the sharpen my skills [12:16] Gnea: OK well im chatting with you on Ubuntu now and the only thing wrong is this video issue. editing the xorg.conf file didnt seem to do any thing and even in the file is states that its pretty mutch useless. 1 why is it useless and 2 how do i set the pramiters manualy or reconfigure X11 to use the file again? [12:17] i was reading K&R but then got a bit bored reading it [12:17] not sure I used system>preferences>screen resolution [12:17] JessicaParker: also, what do you mean by 'switch', exactly? [12:17] join #ubuntu-fi [12:17] i will get a screen print [12:17] strixv: no problem. :) [12:17] c_nick, smart man ;) if you're just looking for a good quick reference, there's a package for ubuntu that sort-of offers that [12:18] ohh where ? [12:18] Radtoo: This is really weird, I can't log into gmail, I can't do advanced google searches, all my preferences for everything seem to have disappeared [12:18] Radtoo: But I can log into facebook and do regular googles [12:18] c_nick, i think its c++-annotations [12:18] Drikan: you know, that whole bit has become a bit of a mystery that i haven't bothered to figure out yet... usually, i just make minor edits to xorg.conf where needed and restart it anyway [12:18] strixv: Agreed, it is weird. [12:18] c_nick, it also has some stuff on basic C syntax, also [12:18] how should i get a hold on that [12:18] Radtoo: And all of my bookmarks in FF have disappeared. I suspect it has something to do with an FF addon or with upgrading FF [12:19] i followed the guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver but now ubuntu just runs in low graphics mode [12:19] c_nick, being that its a normal ubuntu package, just $ sudo apt-get install c++-annotations [12:19] strixv: There's some chance something in your user directory (or browser settings) or browser itself is broken. [12:19] Radtoo: But my bookmarks have only disappeared from the bookmarks list, when I type into the URL bar they still show up when they match what I'm typing. Fuckin strange [12:20] i'm sorted, managed to mount at cmd line from instructions on ubuntu help :) [12:20] rdw200169: how to get it [12:20] humm [12:20] strixv: ah, but these are a bit different in firefox. They also come from the url history and such. I recall your bookmarks should be in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/bookmarks.html or bookmarks.bat [12:20] Gnea: i have a 19inch and a laptop - the screen print does not capture it properly but it works............. [12:21] strixv: where *.default is a profile folder with some odd name. might be called anything, actually ;) [12:21] sound disappeared during 9.04 RC and after some tweaks with driver selection..came back... but still not with Video Players or Amarok... [12:21] JessicaParker: url? [12:21] Radtoo: yeah I know they come from history etc but these are definitely bookmarks, they have the gold star icon on the right [12:21] Gnea: http://imagebin.ca/view/YQAeT5DB.html [12:21] strixv: It may help to recover the bookmarks, but I have no clue at all what might have broken your browser and such... :) [12:21] Radtoo: And when I go to "organize bookmarks" firefox crashes [12:22] Are there any ubuntu help channel for more advanced users [12:22] when i upgraded to ubuntu 9.04 my grub no longer shows when a menu item is being selected, so i have to just figure if i move all the way up enough times i'll get linux, all the way down enough times i get windows. [12:22] this clearly isnt working [12:22] strixv: Oh, okay. Well, you at least know what to backup for the bookmarks now if you choose to erase the settins directory for firefox eventually. :) [12:22] doesn't show an active highlighted entry. [12:22] c_nick, wait, i'm sorry, this was the package: c-cpp-reference [12:22] amar: what is the problem [12:22] Radtoo: Yep, thanks ;) [12:22] Gnea: i need the one on the right to be primary (that is my laptop) [12:22] Radtoo: Okay I'm gonna restart and see what a disk check comes up with [12:22] Radtoo: Thanks for all your help! [12:22] c_nick, so, if you get that from synaptic or apt-get, you can read the documentation starting at [12:22] strixv: its gonna interrupt smart tho ;) [12:23] ohh ok [12:23] c_nick, by copying this into the firefox URL bar: file:///usr/share/doc/c-cpp-reference/html/C/c.html [12:23] OK let take it from the top [12:23] anyone here with a nokia n73 able to use it as a music player in jaunty with rythmbox to [12:23] indus: I don't have sound when using a video player like SMPlayer or VLC or whatever [12:23] add or remove songs [12:23] ?

[12:24] WHAT makes sure that alt+f2 starts up Run program [12:24] Hey guys I'm having trouble trying to configure Xscreensaver can anyone help me out? [12:24] in gnome [12:24] Has anyone experienced the live cd requiring a username and password? [12:24] Mechdave: some,but not me [12:24] deus: Keyboard shortcuts.. You can change it if you want t [12:25] Mechdave: just use ubuntu and ubuntu for username password [12:25] ok [12:25] deus: you can set those in system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts [12:25] deus: system->pref-> keyboard shoprtcuts [12:25] Machdave: at install time? [12:25] Lol [12:25] indus: displays volume control and mute option etc.... (i can hear to my songs using rhythmbox or other music players [12:25] indus, cheers [12:25] nyone here with a nokia n73 able to use it as a music player in jaunty with rythmbox to add or remove songs? [12:25] Mechdave: :) [12:25] When printing a sheet in OOo Calc, it prints the name of the sheet, such as "Sheet1" on the top of the paper. How can I prevent this? [12:25] advance: it doesnt specify anything that have to do with changeing desktops [12:26] Gnea: any ideas ? thank you [12:26] Jockeo: in the printing options dialog? [12:26] amar: which movie player > totem have you tried? [12:26] JessicaParker: still checking.. [12:26] Jockeo: page options probably [12:26] advance: and nothing beginning with "alt" has an entry there [12:26] nokia n73 users out there? [12:26] c_nick, also, for future reference, there is an application called 'dhelp' which makes browsing and using documentation in a debian environment a little easier. this particular application keeps track of a directory called /usr/share/doc/HTML which acts like a one stop place to go for various, mostly programming, resources [12:26] indus, didn't work :( [12:26] deus: Changing desktops is a compix thing. What you want to do is go under system > preferences > compiz settings manager [12:27] but that wasnt my question either, what daemon picks up the hotkeys and run the appropriate program [12:27] advance: i dont run compiz [12:27] Mechdave: tell me where exactly is it askking for password [12:27] deus: wait.. [12:27] djiezes: It was in the page options, thanks! [12:27] deus: I don't know then. My bad dude. [12:27] indus: nope.. i use SM and VLC generally..however even in Totem it didn't have sound [12:27] Jockeo: np, glad i could help [12:27] Where might I find instructions for installing kde 3.5.10 alongside kde4? I'm using ubuntu 8.10 [12:28] deus, lemme guess, your Alt + F2 doesn't work anymore either... === dmesg is now known as edsoncanto [12:28] amar: go to system>preferences>sound and tell me your output setings [12:28] Anyone know Xscreensaver? [12:28] Gnea: How do i figure out my exact vershion of XWin? [12:29] rdw200169: well yes it works, it brings up the "run program" bar [12:29] djiezes: I had looked in several places, in "Tools" -> "Options", in the printing dialog and googled a little but couldn't find it. I had totally missed the fact that there is a page options form. [12:29] rdw200169: thing is, I DONT USE GNOME i use fluxbox [12:29] JessicaParker: did you do any manual editting or xorg.conf or was it all guified? [12:29] Drikan: it's usually at the top of /var/log/Xorg.0.log [12:29] deus, then i'm still the only one... [12:30] oh ok thanks [12:30] indus: Sound playback: OSS, Music & Movies :OSS, Audio Conf.. : same in both : OSS .., Default Mixer Tracks : HDA Intel(Alsa mixer) [12:30] deus, forgive me, but i've never used fluxbox, so i don't know :( [12:30] rdw200169: thats ok but what is your problem [12:30] Gnea: no manual edit whatsoever [12:31] amar: change it to autodetect [12:31] Gnea: just plug and play.............things have come a long way these days [12:31] JessicaParker: okay. can you please pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [12:31] JessicaParker: yes they have :) [12:31] indus: where?? what??? everything?? [12:31] Can anyone help me configure Xscreensaver I'm having a bit of trouble [12:31] deus, meh, i don't know, since i've installed 9.04 Alt+f2 functionality disappeared. it would be unfair, though, to discuss it further b/c its probably something stupid, and related to the fact that i've had the same /home since 7.10 [12:31] amar: yes everything except audio capture [12:31] deus, that and i've put exactly 0% effort into finding the problem ;) [12:32] deus: sorry what's your problem with fluxbox? [12:32] indus: ok ..but what in Mixer? [12:32] dimebar: fluxbox uses gnomes hotkey settings [12:32] amar: alsamixer [12:32] indus: ok [12:32] amar: i mean the first option must be that [12:33] amar: what option do you have [12:33] indus: did [12:33] amar: logout and login then play a movie [12:33] Gnea: http://pastebin.com/d1674d206 [12:34] indus: ok..sure..thanks... [12:34] trying to make a vpn connection with pptp in jaunty, but I keep getting a dbus-daemon rejected message in auth.log. What have I missed? [12:34] i have ubuntu installed but i am currently running windows. i need to replace the primary loader cause it is infected, can someone help me out on this? [12:35] my box got rooted and is totally infected [12:35] mater: You mean your boot sector also got overwritten? [12:35] everything is blocked by firewall i wrote, but still i need to recover somehoe [12:35] well, this virus has root priviledges [12:36] mater: it's ... in ubuntu as well? [12:36] mater: cool [12:36] i don't think it is in ubuntu [12:36] mater: maybe reinstall grub? [12:36] mater: okay, so its a windows virus that just did it's best to annoy without destroying random data on the hdd. [12:37] the question i have is this: i want to boot from ubuntu, unfortunately i never used ubuntu b4, i used redhat, so i donnow what to do for me to be able to boot in ubuntu now [12:37] mater: In that case, reinstall grub, and you might need to run fixmbr using a windows cd as well (or wipe/reinstall windows). [12:37] mater: Do Not reinstall windows on top of ubuntu , system wont boot [12:37] indus: LIES [12:38] but you can fix mbr with other tools i hear [12:38] mater: ehm... you mean its not installed yet? [12:38] Radtoo, correct. it did not actually destoy anything yet, it is basically an open proxy to some funky operation of enlarge your peanus type [12:38] advance: its true ,windows overwrites the mbr [12:38] mater: annoying enough but yes then you can be almost certain it wasn't doing anything at all to any linux which was installed. [12:39] advance:there are tools to recover but i dont want to discuss it here [12:39] indus: But all you have to do is take a live cd and copy your grub record then transfer it over to another bootloader and you can actualy use the Vista/Longhorn bootloader. [12:39] Radtoo, ubuntu is installed but i installed winxp sp3 and never booted ubuntu after that [12:39] advance: Yeah, pretty easy actually. [12:39] indus: Yeah I was about to say You need to tell that to my computer because she works really good [12:39] martinom: Yeah it was really easy [12:39] advance: yes but the fact is me and most users dont get it [12:39] mater: okay. that makes it clear. well, you might actually want to just install a newer version of ubuntu now if one came out in the meantime ;) [12:40] mater: you just need to reinstall grub, in order to be able to boot ubuntu. [12:40] advance: I've done it a few times by mistake :p [12:40] advance: bootloader scares me [12:40] mater: But failing that, just boot the old ubuntu cd and do http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113 [12:40] indus, well, if you can help me out, join #rootkit. we can talk there, the same thing for anybody else [12:40] djiezes: no you don't [12:40] advance: grub-install writes to mbr. [12:40] mater: i can help you with grub here itself [12:40] why not? ubuntu is still on his system. [12:40] its easy [12:40] test [12:40] You guys are out of control [12:40] I'm 15 and I did it? [12:41] hmm I seem to have found something that does what I wanted. it combines two of them too: 1. hide a tab 2. number the tabs. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9528 [12:41] and you guys are scared [12:41] * Gnea looks oddly at advance [12:41] mater: use a live cd and boot into ubuntu first then you can repair grub [12:41] Mhm. [12:41] advance: iam i correct? [12:42] JessicaParker: have you tried xrandr? [12:42] Radtoo, i tried to boot from old ubuntu, but my primary loader is bad [12:42] indus: yea, but don't trust me, i'm out of control app ;-) [12:42] mater: using the cd is the imperative here [12:42] All you have to do is run 'grub-install' i guess. Which actually does not 'install' grub all over again, it just writes to mbr. [12:43] Gnea: no i thought with the auto detection there would be something that i could use [12:43] mater: you'll have to boot off the cd to fix the loader. [12:43] indus: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_linux_is_already_installed.htm [12:43] indus: That is probobly the easyest thing I have ever done on linux [12:43] Gnea: i was reluctant to do anything else mainly as it seems to all work as i need it to [12:44] indus: Primaraly using NEOGrub it was really easy [12:44] I've been looking around for a solution to a resolution problem i have. The edges of my desktop/display won't show up. [12:44] where are kernel headers for 2.6.27-11-generic? [12:44] martinom: What do you mean the edges [12:44] cannot find them in jaunty repos. [12:44] advance: i know , but these things are too much for a new user thats all i say === root is now known as Guest35405 === Guest35405 is now known as peppot [12:44] advance: Seems as if though the screen is 'zoomed'. [12:44] Radtoo, i am trying to boot from ubuntu cd and thought i could do a reinstall, but it wants to repartition my drives, or else quit [12:45] JessicaParker: the problem with gnome and autodetection is that it, often times, does just the bare minimum. the GUI itself provides just enough to get the job done - and that's a good thing. but, you're talking about altering things, which is beyond the scope of the basic GUI design of ubuntu. it really depends on how badly you want to switch the screens, but it's going to require going to the level of commandline and using xrandr to tweak the settings and [12:45] If you know what I mean. [12:45] advance: i did repair grub once but it was scary [12:45] martinom: you sure it's not your monitor settings that need to be changed [12:45] easy but scary [12:45] q [12:45] Radtoo, can we talk about this on #rootkit, cause it too much traffic here [12:45] sacarlson: When I move xorg.conf somewhere and use vesa, it works. [12:45] mater: you can do a reinstall? just tell it to use the old partitions you had. [12:45] and i have no idea if that got cut off or not [12:45] you don't need to reboot to fix the mbr, or anything like that. the trick, is to know what device you want to put it on. for example, when you run the live cd, the HDD is given a name which may not not be the same as the one it is during the normal boot. things get tricky here, but not too bad. [12:45] But without the nvidia driver of course. [12:45] Gnea: any ideas on if i can just amend the xorg file or is it not as simple as that ? [12:45] Basically uses default settings. [12:45] indus: How is booting on a linux live cd then figuring out what partition your harddrive is on thn typing install hd(0.0) [12:45] JessicaParker: amend or append? [12:45] Tried to play around with nvidia-settings with no results. [12:46] martinom: do you have a scroll wheel? [12:46] so, for example, if your regular hdd is called /dev/sda in the live cd, you would run $ grub-install /dev/sda === asmoHH is now known as jefinc [12:46] advance: I've tried actually 'zooming' yeah. :) [12:46] Radtoo, i don't see a choice to use old partitions during ubuntu reinstall, or rather fresh install [12:46] It's more of a resolution problem. [12:46] martinom: Hey you never know lol. [12:46] martinom: oh nvidia I have similar problem with nvidia I just us nv for now [12:46] rdw200169: Nah no you wouldn't [12:46] indus, Problem solved, just a APIC error... rebooted now fine thx [12:46] sacarlson: Problem is that I'm developing with CUDA... [12:46] or, on the other hand, if its /dev/sdb or /dev/hda or whatever, the $ grub-install still works. the key is that you can use /dev/ names instead of the name from the device map, which makes things quite a bit easier in the long run [12:46] mater: It has no "free" space to work with at the moment but if you tell it to use the existing ubuntu partitiosn all wil be fine. As for #rootkit, sorry, no. I also don't know everything or make no mistakes, its good if other people think along :) [12:46] I need the driver to work :) [12:46] Gnea: any / either - amend would be better as then i know the setting is there............i had one really bad experience with these files and had to do a reinstall as i could not recover the copy properly so painful hence the reluctance [12:47] just took my lappy completely appart... cleaned every chip with isopropyl alcohol, air dusted (with an air compressor) the whole thing... re-thermal pasted it all with articsilver-5 and put it all back together perfectly.... still tons of errors in memtest86+... guess it really is my ram. :'( [12:47] Mechdave: cool [12:47] JessicaParker: if you mean, by amend, to edit and save settings to the current xorg.conf file, then yes, that is possible. i've done it for years, when necessary (used to be necessary ALL the time, back when it wasn't so fancy ;) ), and it can still be done - the nice thing, today, is that if you goof it up, you can still revert with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [12:47] Of course, I'm able to do stuff with my screen looking the way it does now... But it's f***ing irritating. [12:47] Mechdave: can you share how you got it solved [12:47] JessicaParker: understood [12:47] martinom: well did you try nvidia.com latest driver release NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.04-pkg2.run [12:47] if anybody can help me out on rootkit problem and reinstalling ubuntu, please join #rootkit. there is too much traffic here, i can't follow it [12:48] rdw200169: Dude you have to specify what partition on what hardrive it is on once in the GRUB menu http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_linux_is_already_installed.htm?page=6 [12:48] mater: You can. "Manually edit partition table" at worst [12:48] sacarlson: Hmm... I guess I'm currently running 180 or something. [12:48] Wouldn't hurt to try. [12:48] slt [12:48] hello [12:48] mater:boot from live cd >open terminal >type sudo grub [12:48] ya des french ici ? [12:48] Gnea: any ideas on the change / addition required ? [12:48] martinom: try that if you really have to have the real thing working before you give up [12:48] Hi there. I need to mount a logical volume on my host system. The logical volume contains multiply partition so its not that easy as just doing "mount". Can someone help me with this? If I remember correctly, its something with loop. [12:48] indus, yeah just rebooted and restarted live disk [12:49] sacarlson: Mhm. [12:49] erf [12:49] sacarlson: But that's the beta driver? [12:49] martinom: and tell me how it goes. if it works I'll do it too [12:49] Mechdave: cheers [12:49] :) [12:49] oxbow: surely but everybody talks english. try #ubuntu-fr [12:49] Bah, forgot to run irssi in screen. [12:49] bbl [12:49] ok [12:49] martinom: ya so beta test it we know the 180 fails to work [12:50] martinom: other wise live with nv [12:50] Hello [12:50] w00t [12:50] JessicaParker: the best way to learn, is to first make a backup of your important data - hopefully you have done that already, but if you're nervous about screwing your whole system up, I would highly recommend getting the important things taken care of first. [12:50] How can I remove all my wlan passwords from ubuntu? [12:51] dostoyevsky: there's many ways you could have saved them... [12:51] hi folks... anyone know anything about hald [12:51] wlan passwors? [12:51] Gnea: ok after i have done that ? is there a line that can be added to identify the primary and secondary monitro in the xorg file ? thanks [12:51] advance, i'm referring to this: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-using-grub_002dinstall.html [12:51] Hi everyone! [12:51] dostoyevsky: maybe you mean keys? [12:51] Radtoo: It's in the password manager... [12:51] dostoyevsky: if its an individual applcation, the most safe way might to just delete its configuration in your home directory? [12:51] i just upgraded a machine from intrepid to jaunty and i can't open a terminal or do an ssh to it: http://pastebin.com/m640a1cac [12:52] dostoyevsky: Okay. Doesn't it support deleting entries? [12:52] hey can you guy help me out on trying to boot from old ubuntu? join the #rootkit, there is way too much traffic here [12:52] dostoyevsky: It's "gpass", right? [12:52] JessicaParker: there are a number of resources out there, but I recommend starting with these and googling from there: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=806904 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=652745 http://intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html [12:52] im running on tty1 and when i plug in an usb key I got stdout messages on tty1 about the devices and I want to turn it off. [12:53] JessicaParker: also, the manpage for xrandr is well written [12:53] Maybe someone can help me please [12:53] Gnea: thanks for the pointers i will look over these now [12:53] !ask | Ubuntus [12:53] Ubuntus: 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. :-) [12:53] JessicaParker: cheers, good luck [12:53] Ubuntus, ask your question :) [12:53] Is gnome standard on ubuntu? [12:53] buntus get on with it [12:53] I thint it's the gnome password manager [12:54] dostoyevsky: gnome keyring? [12:54] :) [12:54] drkimble, i think someone has watched too much Monty Python (wait that's impossible...) [12:54] Ahh... it's seahorse [12:54] lol [12:54] * drkimble utubes [12:54] k, one more tim: i have ubuntu installed. but i can't boot from it cause my primary loader is bad [12:55] I can delete the password there yes, but it doesn't go away... :-( [12:55] mater [12:55] mater: [12:55] dostoyevsky: k, problem solved? :) [12:55] I'm trying to install a Proxy Server, with Ubuntu Server 9.04, but I'm having many troubles... [12:56] Blinkiz: hi [12:56] Ubuntus: a proxy for... http? [12:56] how to open a second console in recovery netroot? [12:56] I used Squid 3.0, Sarg, Dansguardian and Two ethernet adapters [12:56] Ubuntus: what proxy server did you install? [12:56] yes... [12:56] peppot: "screen" lets you have many "consoles" in one session, but perhaps alt-f2 also works to switch to another terminal? === oobe is now known as Geek`N`Proud` === wolf is now known as Guest3249 [12:57] Radtoo: it only opens one by default [12:57] Radtoo: need to have many to paste across etc [12:57] anyone know? === XRODRiGO-BRA is now known as XRODRiGO[BR] [12:57] more consoles in recovery mode? [12:57] Ubuntus: I did it before long ago squid === Geek`N`Proud` is now known as oobe [12:58] I was planning to control the internet access but, I have failed to make it run... [12:58] Radtoo: I deleted the password in seahorse but when I try to connect to my wlan it will still try to use the password that I just deleted.. It won't use the password I entered in the dialoge... I see a timeout and then I get "Authentication require by wireless network' If I click on '[ ] show password' there, I see that it's still using the old password... [12:59] Is there anyone konws how to organize my tor ,I still can not connect Youtube here. [12:59] I was thinking of maybe doing the wlan connect in a shell script instead of using gnome... [12:59] Ubuntus: you mean restrict access with password or? [13:00] dostoyevsky: hm. hard to say if something went wrong or if it's not really managed the way we think either way. :) [13:00] iBoar, public exit nodes are kinda useless for alot of things like http, 3 lines of php can detect if your coming out through a public listed node === ubuntu_ is now known as a8lia [13:01] (which youtube,google etc probably have implemented) [13:01] Yeah... I remember that there's people on ubuntuforums who have similar problems and no real solution... It seems like seahorse and gnome-key-manager are incompatible in some way or another... [13:01] iBoar: Its hard to get Tor right and impractical for videos, torrent, etc... [13:01] how would I download this key from the terminal ? http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xB9F1C432AE74AE63 wget doesnt work [13:01] anyone who could help me with: http://pastebin.com/m640a1cac [13:01] iBoar: These are fairly high-volume transfers and you'll find it's a pain to use tor for these either way, if its not outright blocked by the other end [13:01] No. its just to control the internet access and define the blocked content [13:01] But if I knew where gnome stores the passwords (the file) then maybe I could delete it... [13:01] it's unethical to torrent via public nodes.. [13:02] nnull: not everyone's ethics, apparently... [13:02] is there a way to change the default editor from gedit to gvim ? [13:03] it is not in prefered apps [13:03] Weather applet Ubuntu 9.04 click on Forecast and = "Forecast not currently available for this location." Is there a fix ? [13:03] susscorfa: basically, changing file associations in gnome? [13:03] susscorfa, does it open gedit from the command line? [13:03] susscorfa: just right click and choose open with, and make sure after you select your app from the list that you check use costum command [13:03] indus, Hi to you too [13:03] yea open with ftw [13:04] susscorfa, b/c you can use update-alternatives to set the default editor for the command line, using: $ update-alternatives editor [13:04] c0p3rn1c: means i have to set it for every extention seperatly [13:04] Hmm... I have some files having 'keyring' in their name below ~/.gconf/ and one below ~/.gnome2/. Maybe I try to delete them [13:04] Can anyone recommend a good photo editor along the lines of Photoshop Elements ? [13:04] rdw200169: i want to set the gui editor and not the cli editor [13:04] susscorfa: I don't know how to script it sorry [13:04] susscorfa: /etc/gnome/defaults.list ~/.local/share/applications/ also might work [13:04] ruadh: The Gimp [13:04] ruadh: gimp, krita, ... [13:04] ruadh: the best !! [13:04] sacarlson: Driver didn't help. [13:05] susscorfa, whoops, meant: update-alternatives --config editor [13:05] thanks, pronoy_ and Radtoo [13:05] why can't wget download this key http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xB9F1C432AE74AE63 [13:05] Radtoo: thx im gone give that a try [13:06] I'm getting a http 500 error code [13:06] Does gnome own the same thing to organize My [13:06] Does gnome own the same thing to organize My Photos ,like digikama in KDE? [13:07] c0p3rn1c: same. are you sure the link is good and all? [13:07] Radtoo: yes [13:07] iBoar: it has fspot [13:07] pronoy_, like picasa? [13:08] susscorfa, don't forget my suggestion, just remember it, one day the whole update-alternatives system will prove useful to you ;) [13:08] Radtoo: I deleted those keyring directories... I still see the password being used... [13:08] ok thx rdw200169 [13:08] iBoar: picasa would offer a multitude of other options other than just organizing........fspot will organize upload and stuff [13:08] iBoar: if you need a decent photo editor i suggest GIMP its the best i have come across yet [13:09] pronoy_, hmm,ths [13:09] !timidity [13:09] alguem do rj [13:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about timidity [13:10] man....

[13:10] just not good as but hey man, understand the money involved [13:11] I dont like netbook remix [13:11] tomlee263, i knew 8.10 netbook [13:11] i dont like [13:11] and in my 701 become slow [13:11] pirolocito:hehe. [13:11] guys, i've just run rm -fr foo.bar ... is there a way that i can recover that file? [13:11] I installed ubuntu server and configured two ethernet cards, with the eth0 being used to connect and eth2 to access the internet. [13:12] please help [13:12] well [13:12] no [13:12] ruadh: www.gimp.org [13:12] hi guys i would like to know if a process running on my system runs on a single cpu or both the two cpu of my desktop.....how can i know it???? [13:12] there are very rare linux file recovery [13:12] Ubuntus, have you tested your router/proxy/switch *without* squid running? [13:12] gharz: nopew [13:12] nopew? tha's the command? [13:12] actually why these top software dont do linux releases as well baffles me, would not cut into profits at all [13:13] and even if there are, journaled fs kills it [13:13] Guest34988, run top [13:13] gharz: thats the answer NOPE [13:13] ahhh [13:13] oh my god [13:13] Ubuntus, in order to control access you don't *have* to use a proxy. there are other options, like coova-chilli [13:13] thanks! [13:13] np [13:13] top doesn't tell me this information [13:13] drkimble: because it takes valuable developers [13:13] gharz: u see unix platform has the best security ...rm -r is the command which leaves no traces [13:13] Ubuntus, consequentially, using something like that also gives you similar options like bandwidth/volume control etc... but its not easy. well, i guess you could say, its just as difficult [13:14] gharz: its possible but in theory [13:14] well [13:14] shred isfor security :P [13:14] Boohbah: but they make loads, code is there, all they have to do is port I guess [13:14] dostoyevsky: yes, guess it's stored elsewhere then but I don't know where, sorry. :/ [13:15] How do I connect to a wlan in the unix shell, what's the program called? I think it was something like ifwconfig or so... [13:15] drkimble: which is not always as simple as it sounds [13:15] iwconfig? [13:15] ifconfig? [13:15] Boohbah: the real reason is they just do not want people to use Linux par se [13:15] I reckons anyways [13:15] i am accessing the internet on server, even with squid intalled, but when i try to connect some pc on the eth0, the connection fails [13:16] Ubuntus, i consider chilli + firewall to be %1000 times more secure than something more fallible like squid... chilli uses standardized access control mechanisms in order to control access, and is very popular in the linux-router world... [13:16] Ubuntus, have you made sure that forwarding is enabled? [13:16] anyone here know what logs to look in for all emails coming in from a certain sender email? [13:16] ms control thing I reckon [13:16] gharz: http://adminlinux.blogspot.com/2006/09/recover-from-rm.html [13:16] Yeah, iwconfig it seems to be... Yeah, will try to do this in a shell script... Maybe I find a nice description how I can do all the things that gnome usually does from the shell [13:16] Borg, resistance is futile and all that [13:17] indus: does this really work [13:17] Hey how do I get an X11 ID? [13:17] Ubuntus, ensure that this file has a 1 in it: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [13:17] indus: because it defies all what i have read and seen up till now [13:17] For some window? [13:17] dostoyevsky, gnome does less than a shell [13:17] pronoy_: well this world is full of surprises [13:18] indus: yeah you just did scream SURPRISE at my face ..... :D [13:18] dostoyevsky: I can explain the used technologies to some extent. iwconfig for setting the essid or WEP, but WPA/WPA2 is usually done using wpa_supplicant. [13:18] Ubuntus, I'm assuming of course that your networking configuration and all that are appropriate [13:18] pronoy_: the fact is>> unless new data writes to that portion of hard drive, it isnt really deleted === pingu is now known as Guest55562 [13:18] can i search all log files in /var/log for certain text? [13:19] yes [13:19] Ubuntus, consequentially, you may also need to set up NAT using iptables [13:19] pronoy_: its somethin to do with the way a hard drive stores data in nodes [13:19] AdvoWork: grep text /var/log/* [13:19] hes fast D: [13:19] AdvoWork: sure [13:19] indus: oh yes i think i knew that.......but i never knew there was a way to recover it ... i just know it how to do that using hardware resensetizers [13:19] yo all [13:19] pronoy_: google is great >but it seems complicated though [13:19] !hi | Proteus [13:19] Proteus: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [13:20] I used some commands like ==> modprobe iptable_nat ==>modprobe ip_nat_ftp ==>echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward==>iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth -j MASQUERADE ==> iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 [13:20] what is the difference between "su" and "su -" ??? [13:20] dostoyevsky: Should make it a bit easier to understand any howto / tutorial you might stumble upon now, as this is a bit non-obivous a thing. also, running iwconfig, wpa_supplicant and then dhcpcd from the command line (provided correct configuration for wpa_supplicant is present) already usually does the job for the simple scenarios. [13:20] hittt: the minus reads the profile [13:20] how to know how many cpu is being used by a process?? [13:20] indus: sure thing .....thanks [13:20] thx! [13:20] Radtoo: According to my route I am using WPA-PSK, so wpa_supplicant might be what I need to use [13:20] hittt: only su means a command and su - means you are about to give some option to su [13:20] yea [13:20] but with su [13:21] !sudo | hittt [13:21] hittt: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [13:21] i wansnt able to modify some kernel things === Espen_ is now known as rockwool [13:21] Ubuntus, hmm... looks good so far... [13:21] hittt:just like , hittt is your name, but hittt -please smile is something u do [13:21] :) [13:21] :) [13:21] hittt: kernel things [13:21] lol [13:21] su is switch user i believe [13:21] su -i [13:22] yes [13:22] dostoyevsky: it almost certainly is used... I think all the drivers that had some exotic way of setting up wpa are out of the kernel now [13:22] but just su [13:22] is root [13:22] Guest34988: I like htop (command line application)... :) [13:22] hittt: ya it wont work mostly cos we dont have root user [13:22] su root, sudo -i, sudo su , sudo su root [13:23] gotta check sudo su root! [13:23] hittt: you cannot su to root if the root account is locked, like it is on Ubuntu. [13:23] hittt: do a sudo su [13:23] pici:I unlocked it [13:23] hittt: if you want to su to root, use sudo -s. If you really want to su to root directly, sudo -s, then passwd to set a root password. [13:23] you get a root terminal [13:23] will Ubuntu ever give root back to us? [13:23] indus: i am bored of sudo su [13:23] hittt: iam bored of sudo :) [13:23] drkimble: my ubuntu has a root user with a password [13:24] Guest34988: but well, most people would use gnome system monitor. or something. [13:24] ooh :) [13:24] mine too [13:24] care to share [13:24] Boohbah: arent we supposed to add that to etc sudoers? [13:24] We do not support having a root password [13:24] Pici: Ya [13:24] !wfm [13:24] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [13:24] indus: sudo -s, then passwd to set a password on the root account.

I'm installing easypeasy as a first time ubuntu user. I'm currently running gentoo and noted that the installation program unetbootbin-eeeubuntu* requires all sorts of packages. Can't I just use dd to write the iso file to a usb stick? [13:25] Pici: that's fine, i didn't ask for support :) [13:25] cybersplice: but i always use sudo su and use root terminal [13:26] ooh :) [13:26] lol [13:26] sudo -s is same i think [13:26] baah never mind [13:26] http://www.Marie-gets-Deflowered.com/?id=d31c9d59 [13:26] is there a Bunt chat?

[13:27] Hi, i started removing gnome packages to get just fluxbox, I used this as a guide -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE#Remove%20Ubuntu%20Packages -- unfortunately I know have lost the use of sound, does anyone have any ideas what package/s need to be reinstalled to regain my sound? [13:27] indus: Yes, sudo -s is the same as sudo su. If you really want to set a password on the root account, you can do so with passwd. You'll find, however, that neither canonical or #ubuntu will support that. It's not really needed for most things. [13:27] how do you change the default python version on ubuntu? [13:27] do you use pycentral or somethign like that [13:28] cybersplice: because i used system password and got root account [13:28] is Gobuntu crap? [13:28] what is gobuntu? [13:28] cybersplice: hmm so just typing su in terminal needs root password hmm [13:28] hello...why is gyachi improved version cant use voice chat or something [13:28] Doesn't exist aymore, does it? [13:28] GNU ubuntu [13:28] I think [13:28] cybersplice: no wonder i couldnt log in [13:28] indus: you need to set a root password before you can use it. [13:28] indus: Exactly. [13:29] cybersplice: can you tell me that root pasword step again [13:29] !gobuntu [13:29] gobuntu is a freedom-focused flavour of Ubuntu intended for experienced Linux enthusiasts. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/gobuntu for more information and download mirrors.. [13:29] i didnt think we were allowed to tell people how to set a root password...? [13:30] indus: you dont need a root password, you can use "sudo -i" to switch to a root like terminal [13:30] hey can anybody help me loading emerald on jaunty [13:30] what was the command to clean the trash??? sudo rm -rf Trash:/// [13:30] ? [13:30] so many flavours I dont know which I like best [13:30] kyle_: what's the problem? [13:30] !ops hittt [13:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about ops hittt [13:30] kyle_: whats the problem [13:30] hey how can i put avant window navigator on top of the screen? [13:30] D: [13:31] luis: you can set things like that in awn-manager# [13:31] Anyway, i am using the eth2 to connect with internet now, and i connected an ADSL modem on eth0 and it worked very well, so there's no problem with my network cards, i think [13:31] luis: you can set things like that in awn-manager [13:31] i dont know how to load it... i got emerald manager and compiz manager and i dont know what to do next [13:31] luis: that should be simple, just check prefs/opts [13:31] ummm [13:31] indus: You can sudo -s to get a root terminal, then set the password with the command passwd. I'd reinforce the comments of others that you really shouldn't set a root password or use the root account unless you know precicely what you're doing. :) [13:31] !root | indus [13:31] indus: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[13:59] I would need little advice with ubuntu 9.04. after the installation my ssh connections are really sticky [13:59] puneeth: gmaes and such [14:00] luchador: "sticky" meaning...? [14:00] luchador: what the heck did you mean by sticky? its not dropping connections? [14:00] Radtoo: kind of hangs for 2-10 sec time to time [14:00] tecky: [14:00] sorry [14:00] hi, I can't boot my ubuntu since I updated it from 8.10 hardy to the newest version. I can't get to the log in screen but the computer boots fine. I updated my ubuntu with upgrade manager directly from the internet. Here's my menu.lst if it helps http://pastebin.com/m4fa9c60a thanks for help! [14:00] maybe your connection luchador [14:00] it happened to me [14:01] erUSUL: i didnt try playing games but the resolution is 800x600 [14:01] cant improve further.. [14:01] luchador: It might go down to some driver / networking problem, or if you do bulk volume transfers over ssh a feature may not be enabled. [14:01] hackoidz: otherwise the connection speed seems ok [14:01] luchador: I have that problem on my wifi at times with intermitent contection [14:01] puneeth: run « glxinfo | grep -i direct » what does it says ? [14:01] I always use wifi with this one so it might be it [14:02] I did not notice any problems with bittorrent etc. [14:02] erUSUL: it says yes [14:02] puneeth: should look something like this [14:02] jkroll@XPS:~$ glxinfo | grep -i direct [14:02] direct rendering: Yes [14:02] testing [14:02] woo! [14:02] puneeth: the drivers is corrctly instaled... to fix the resolution install nvidia-settings [14:02] luchador: yes, but ssh is more noticeable. [14:02] tecky; yeah [14:03] Radtoo: yeah, as it happens while using irc :) [14:03] puneeth are you able to enable the desktop effects? [14:03] erUSUL: What a working nvidia? [14:03] alright emeralds looking good... do any of you know a good website for emerald themes [14:03] luchador: assuming "something else gets sent first" or "something gets sent delayed" in bittorrent you might not even notice, unlike with ssh. [14:03] Radtoo: actually, now I am using irssi on my local computer and do not see any problems [14:03] Now, I actually did come here with a question before that >.< Webcam+Stickam on Jaunty? [14:03] kyle_: google it [14:04] was wondering if any one else was having a issue with sound only working out of one side? [14:04] ... [14:04] TheZanke: thats not a question [14:04] anyone with experience in magnetic sensors could qry me? [14:04] Radtoo: but always while using the screen over ssh it's really bad [14:04] puneeth? [14:04] L3dPlatedLinux: on skype? yes [14:04] luchador: resuming a screen session you get the lag ? [14:05] luchador: erhaps just wlan interference. Or overloaded connection problems. Or some packet loss. It does not sound like a problem "caused" by ubuntu though. [14:05] sacarlson, for me everything [14:05] Bodsda, it was when i first asked it... I am running an Alienware m9750 with an inbuilt camera and the only thing stopping me from going all ubuntu instead of dualbooting is that i cant talk to my friends on stickam with webcam.. which is what i do while i code things.... [14:05] hackoidz:nope it gives some error... [14:05] what is the error? [14:05] L3dPlatedLinux: nope just skype for me [14:05] tecky: yeah [14:05] Bodsda, so i am asking what packages i need to get to get the webcam and stickam to work... if anyone knows [14:05] TheZanke: again, not a question, and please address the question to the channel sao everyone can benefit, say what you have tried, exact problems, error messages etc etc./ [14:05] hi [14:05] I'm searching a way to use two monitor on a laptop with ATI card, openbox, xorg, perhaps xinerama ... ? [14:06] Hey guys, I'm looking for a simple personal finance management program. What do you use and how did you learn to use it? [14:06] luchador: some fancy tricks like doing traffic shaping (to prioritize SSH over everything) or somesuch might help but its not easy... [14:06] L3dPlatedLinux: oh and with my broken headphones [14:06] tecky, Radtoo using irc on this machine seems to run fine, I only encounter problems while connecting somewhere else over ssh [14:06] what is the error puneeth? [14:06] wait [14:06] I use : 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M [14:06] puneeth: ok [14:06] luchador: i have to agree with Radtoo, it sounds more like a connection issue than anything in ubuntu... unless for some reason you have extensive cpu utilization or some runaway cron job? [14:07] Radtoo: I don't think he has too much trafic to try that. he's probly just on the fringes of his wifi [14:07] what is the default font for firefox? [14:07] tecky: nothin like that. So it seems that my wifi is messing up ssh? === invictus is now known as Xcube [14:07] Radtoo: but I could be wrong [14:07] hi, I have a problem with ubuntu. I can't boot my ubuntu since I updated it from 8.10 hardy to the newest version. I can't get to the log in screen but the computer boots fine. After boot I can't get to the shell by pressing alt+ctrl+F1. I updated my ubuntu with upgrade manager directly from the internet. Here's my menu.lst if it helps http://pastebin.com/m4fa9c60a and I'm now on live cd. thanks for help! [14:07] luchador: is it EVERY time you reestablish a ssh connection? or just some of the times? [14:08] On a laptop, with a fresh ubuntu install... what packages do i require to get my webcam to work properly? I want it to work on stickam.. currently the webcam light just stays on at all times but no cam shows up when i get in stickam, its just black... Also when i right click for flash settings, the "Settings" option is greyed out. [14:08] tecky: it is all the time i use ssh [14:08] Hey! Having trouble with my speakers... They worked fine a few days ago while I was running Ubuntu 8.10. I then reinstalled the computer with Ubuntu 9.04 and the speakers won't work anymore... Sound is good and tested with headphones... Where do I start to search for the error? (Yes, all cables are plugged :)) [14:08] sacarlson: It's all possible. With wlan you can even have connection problems when you're sitting right next to the AP, unfortunately. Its just not as reliable vs interference and so on, and sensitive services like SSH suffer more than others. [14:08] luchador: if you ping the host on the other end of the ssh connection do you get any packet loss? [14:08] hi there [14:08] :) [14:08] hi YuLin [14:09] its all busy in here [14:09] how do you turn off the specto notificator? [14:09] dear friends, what's your favourite smtp-sender/relay-only-mta? [14:09] tecky: no losses === pronoy_ is now known as draw [14:10] Radtoo: my problem with wifi is that most the trafic isn't from me it's from my 30 nabor ap's I can't control there trafic. [14:10] luchador: hmm, and its a grahical noticeable lag? I've never seen it unless the machine was at 100% util. or a connection issue to or from the pc over the ssh connection [14:10] DawnLight: exim I guess. [14:10] agionz: sounds like input hotplugging is not configured correctly [14:10] please :( [14:10] tecky: cursor stops for 5 seconds but the buffer is recieved in the end [14:11] hbekel: can that be fixed? how? [14:11] If I started making a tar file (with lzma compression) but cut it off, will it pick up where it left off when started again? === Purple_ is now known as PurpleWater [14:11] ScottG: no [14:11] ScottG: no afaik [14:11] exim? really? but it is huge in comparison to this purpose [14:11] agionz: yes, disable input hotplugging in xorg.conf [14:11] quit [14:11] thanks for the help pronoy [14:11] hbekel: thanks, I'll try that! [14:11] YuLin: specto notification ? [14:11] kyle_: no prob [14:12] the notification bubbles on the upper right corner that come with 9.04 [14:12] YuLin: sorry can't help [14:12] sacarlson: right, sometimes working around hardware / physics restrictions using software is not possible. but technology will get better still... [14:12] :( [14:12] thanks anyway [14:13] Q@CServ.quakenet.org AUTH [14:13] asomura_: wrong windoe, this is freenode [14:13] exit [14:13] AntORG: sorry , that was for alex881 [14:13] Q@CServ.quakenet.org AUTH MRiGnS cDFb--KV1X [14:14] hi [14:14] AntORG: your on freenode - not quakenet [14:14] DawnLight: yes, note that a small mta doesn't help me in particular. I prefer one with good documentation and "all features I might need" even if I just use two of them :) [14:14] quit [14:14] Radtoo: postfix is good [14:15] can anyone tell me what other desktop environments exist apart from gnome, kde and xcfe ? [14:15] DawnLight: besides, given that the choice of an MTA with some degree of robustness towards the ugly internet reality is essential either way, you don't have too much proven choices. Postfix, sendmail, exim, and maybe a very few more. thats it. [14:16] draw: openbox / blackbox / fluxbox... i'm sure if you google there's a list [14:16] draw: Fluxbox, Enlightenment, dwm, and a few old ones (fwm, IceWM, WindowMaker). And a few others that I can't remember. [14:16] hey.. i ve a question: my flash player doesnt play sound - why [14:16] im using jaunty [14:16] grawity tecky: gotcha.....ty [14:16] grawity: oh btw is it true that ubuntu may be moving to kde as their default dm ? [14:16] agh yes [14:16] bbl going to 9.04 >.> [14:17] Radtoo: thanks. i like exim. i'll use it for this [14:17] draw: I haven't heard about that, but I'm sure they aren't going to do that. [14:17] draw: For KDE, there's Kubuntu. [14:17] grawity: yes i am aware thanks again [14:17] hi there [14:18] hi there, something in the updates related to alsa and bluetooth yesterday broke my audio, as in the normal volume i now i have to use in apps and the system volume is much much higher, and everytime i change apps i have to keep adjusting the volume back and forth [14:18] i've a question about upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 [14:18] aroth: just ask [14:18] I have to save with expierence using KDE, Gnome and xfce I think gnome is the best then again personal oppinion [14:18] i need to temporarily configure my comp to ave a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and the usual subnet mask [14:18] how do i do it? [14:19] i tried to upgrade to jaunty via the command line 'do-release-upgrade'. But it only tells me that no new release has been found. [14:19] linduxed: you should be able to change those settings in your router. howto accomplish that depends on your type of router. look for a guide for your specific type of router. [14:19] linduxed: ifconfig [14:19] aroth: Open Update Manager, and click check twice. [14:20] aroth: Then you should see distribution upgrade at the top of it. [14:20] djiezes: i need to do it locally [14:20] hbekel: any howto on that? [14:20] linduxed: does this help ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/158011/ [14:20] coleys: i only have the command line, because no gui is installed on the machine [14:20] Hmmm... wpa__suppliclant does CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS in a loop now... [14:20] linduxed: sudo ifconfig 192.168.0.210 [14:21] endless loop that is [14:21] Boohbah: Not saying it is bad, but I feel it had quite a bunch of configuration more, which is a bit of a chore if you only want the simplest of setups. exim can do with just two simple files or so if you want it to. [14:21] opps sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.210 [14:21] linduxed: are you running ubuntu or arch ? [14:21] draw: will check [14:21] I'm trying to find out why this 8.04 system is locking up. I'm suspecting that the display adapter may have something to do with it. It's a total lock up, you still see everthing on the [GUI] screen but no response from keyboard or mouse and cannot ping it from other PCs on the LAN. It seems to happen after several hours. I have a terminal open to it from another PC on my LAN showing tail -f /var/log/messages I also have one showing top in hopes of some sort [14:22] sacarlson: will try that [14:22] Boohbah: Thus the suggestion for exim. Not that postfix is "unacceptable" or anything for such a setup, just a wee bit more work :) [14:22] ikonia: ubuntu [14:22] DawnLight: np [14:22] could somebody help me to join ubuntu to the windows server domain? [14:23] Hymnosis: you mean access a window's server ..which means accessing windows shares ? [14:23] aroth: do-release-upgrade -d [14:23] i mean windows active directory and the services.. [14:23] i tried it, but it does does not work either [14:24] !samba | Hymnosis [14:24] Hymnosis: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [14:24] hi there, something in the updates related to alsa and bluetooth yesterday broke my audio, as in the normal volume i now i have to use in apps and the system volume is much much higher, and everytime i change apps i have to keep adjusting the volume back and forth [14:24] Hymnosis: you might want to download samba and then smb:\\server-name\folder [14:25] dont i need to configure some kind of kerberos or something? [14:25] Hymnosis: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-configure-ubuntu-linux-for-windows-active-directory-authentication.html [14:25] usr13 , thanks for the last link [14:25] aroth: Another way is to edit sources.list and... change all occurences of intrepid to jaunty [14:26] coleys: yes, i will try that [14:26] aroth: Good luck, keep me posted. :) === lipsinV2_ is now known as lipsinV2 [14:27] Is it just me or is python-opengl broken on 9.04? I can't even use glGenTextures(N) when N is more than 1. Gives me a nullpointer error. Anyone have a clue? [14:27] are there any debuginfo packages in the default jaunty repositories? I can't seem to find any... what would the suffix be? [14:27] whats the best utube downloader for ff plz [14:27] are libcrypt and libcrypto the same thing? [14:28] Hello! Can you guys think of a command line tool that creates an encrypted directory or blockdevice based on ftp or ssh? Similar to cryptsetup which creates an encrypted blockdevice at /dev/mapper/soandso based on an existing blockdevice. Doing that on top of ftp or ssh so that the encryption happens on the client would let you store sensitive data on hosts you dont trust. === nikolai is now known as Wartorn [14:29] Have there been any reports of upgrades failing from 8.10 -> 9.04? I had one fail on my desktop last wee, so ended up doing a full re-install. Haven't tried yet on my laptop [14:29] narnarnar: You mean something like sshfs? [14:29] narnarnar: You can a) use the same cryptsetup on a loopback mounted file (file pretends it is a device then) [14:29] hello, i have a PC and I have installed openssh-server on it, now if i try to access to it with a client ssh and with another PC connected to local not work, but if i add an rules in the router and try with public IP it work, but i need that the server ssh work only in local.. [14:30] hey guys, i need a little help with irc server connections [14:30] narnarnar: Or b) you could use truecrypt or similar. c) there's archive formats taht support encryption, most of the ones in use actaully [14:30] what i do? [14:31] ohai, something in the updates related to alsa and bluetooth yesterday broke my audio, as in the normal volume i now i have to use in apps and the system volume is much much higher, and everytime i change apps i have to keep adjusting the volume back and forth [14:31] Eddy_: you setup a firewall? [14:31] grawity: sshfs doesnt store the data encrypted on the host, right? [14:31] Eddy_, with openssh-server you should connect local [14:31] unless a firewall is blocking [14:31] narnarnar: The question would always be, can you actually cache the remote file / directory locally or not... access to some remote encrypted file storage as such is a bit of an odd thing. [14:32] narnarnar: nope, unless the destination host also uses encfs/truecrypt/whatever. [14:32] sacarlson, i haven't idea how to setup iptables.. === vali is now known as [vali] [14:32] Ping google.com gives you an IP address...how can I do the opposite...I need to know the hostname associated with an IP address [14:32] hello all, just wanna ask how can u kill an application who is not responding thanks [14:32] Eddy_: you can use firestarter [14:32] Eddy_: it sounds like something may be wrong with the client machine [14:32] pirolocito, i need that the server ssh work only in local, but it not work in local, i see the message: "connection refused" .. [14:32] node808: Use 'host', it works both ways. [14:32] Radtoo: loopback mounted file. hmm.. you mean first mount via ftp or ssh and then "loopback mount" one of the files in there as a device? how do you loopbackmount? [14:33] node808: But on many cases, you won't get all the domains. [14:33] grawity: awesome...thanks a lot [14:33] Eddy_: and are you trying to connect to it using a 192 address, or your external address? [14:33] narnarnar: "mount -o loop" or "losetup /dev/loopX file" if I recall correctly [14:33] Eddy_, have you checked what por are you connecting? [14:33] Vlet, a 192 address [14:33] Eddy_: I just setup my adsl router as my firewall and have my ssh set to port 2222 for outside access [14:33] narnarnar: Something like encfs? http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/21/howto-encfs-encrypted-file-system-in-ubuntu-and-fedora-gnu-linux/ [14:34] Eddy_: does it immediatly tell you connection refused, or does it take a little bit? [14:34] Vlet, immediatly [14:34] utakbiya: right click an empty space in the panel,select Add to panel ,the add Force Quite.It will show t the panel.Use that by clicking it. === ruben is now known as Guest99073 [14:34] narnarnar: but as I said, I wouldn't think it is a good idea (as its a problem in many ways) to have a remote encrpted file / directory / whatever shared over network and used (read write, anyways) locally. [14:35] Radtoo, usr13: I see that mount also has an encryption option. interesting. maybe that alone is enough? [14:35] ok thanks very much...how about in the terminal is there a command in there? [14:35] Radtoo: why do you think its a bad idea? [14:35] narnarnar: Its much cleaner if you either download/upload the file and technically only do encrptiion locally or have a remote file storage is unlocked prior to being shared over network. [14:36] narnarnar: I have experience with backing up filesystems to another PC across the LAN and compressing it on that other PC. Maybe you could customize the command I used to encrypt it instead of compressing it ? [14:36] hm [14:36] Radtoo: to me, having a directory to work on like every other directory seems a lot more elegant. [14:37] narnarnar: If you first just want to copy a filesystem acorss a LAN, I can show you a command for that. [14:37] usr13: i think i would like to use my already written incremental backuptools. just over the net to other hosts. [14:37] narnarnar: hard to explain. because random access on a block device over network (streaming bytes or somesuch) to decrypt it locally and to decrypt/ interpret it as a filesystem there is highly cumbersome === si is now known as Guest64348 [14:38] narnarnar: it may result in abysmal performance and even integrity problems due to the long roundtrips and unreliabilty on the network in between... well, hard to explain it all :) [14:38] Package svn is not available, but is referred to by another package. <--- how do I know what package it has been referred to from? [14:39] !info subversion [14:39] subversion (source: subversion): Advanced version control system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.4dfsg1-1ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 332 kB, installed size 4172 kB === mike is now known as Guest69805 [14:39] hello can anyone tell me how to ssh a sunxvm box ? with ubuntu installed on it [14:39] narnarnar: right. so you want the remote side to mount an encrypted archive but sharing the files over network would already be the decrypted ones, for instance [14:39] narnarnar: Or, you transmit the encyrpted files from remote to yourself and decrypt them there. These are good solutions IMO. [14:40] Radtoo: i want the client to do the encryption. based on all the infos i got by now, it seems to be real easy. [14:40] genii-konv, how do I do that in console without querying ubottu ? [14:40] NativeAngels: >sh sunxvm [14:40] narnarnar: Ok, but I just use nfs share and do it like this: dd if=/dev/hda1 | ssh $user@$host 'gzip - > /pub/image.gz' [14:40] Eddy_: Check your server's /etc/deny.hosts for the client's IP [14:40] narnarnar: And to get "encrypted files" that you can decrypt, you can really just use truecrypt or loopback mounted encrytped files. right, real easy :) [14:40] Kartagis: something like: apt-cache search subversion [14:41] opps did it again >ssh sunxvm_ip_address [14:41] Kartagis: You can also use "policy" instead of "search" to find out version, if installed, etc [14:41] would it still be port 22 [14:41] thanks genii-konv [14:41] NativeAngels, unless you change it [14:41] NativeAngels: ya unless you want to change it [14:41] alow [14:42] ok [14:42] ^^ [14:42] ssh on 22 sucks :P [14:42] rumpel2: ya I keep getting atempted breakin with port 22 [14:45] narnarnar: Actually, that command places it in my nfs share, but did not make use of nfs at all. But to retrieve it, you simply do: scp username@192.168.1.6:/pub/image.gz . [14:46] narnarnar: I had another method using nfs share, but was a little more complicated in one way so I settled on just scp for normal use. === ubuntu is now known as Fastolph [14:46] /ignore -channels #ubuntu * JOINS PARTS QUITS [14:46] oops [14:49] who needs help [14:49] Me, but psychological.

[14:52] quick install question? i'm trying to dual-boot, but was asked by the instaler if i want to install "side by side" OR in the "largest continuous free space". i thought i wont BOTH. which do i select?

[14:53] usr13, Radtoo: this looks like a promising approach: http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/blog/?p=8 [14:53] it makes your other operating system take the minimal space, side by side gives you equal space or you can maunally partion [14:53] Vlet: there are no drivers for my card but maybe it can be a kind of conflict with the bus audio in my ATI HD 2600 pro pci-e wich act like a souncard. my asoundconf list return 2 audio card. so I set the "SB" as default but didn't help. I can Heard music etc but system sounds not :( [14:54] Does it mean if I logout the OS, pidgin will not be autostarted [14:54] digdeep: You might also find something in ~/.kde/Autostart/ that you can just delete. [14:54] Magician_: oh. when i installed windows i created a partition that's a 1/3 of the harddrive, leaving the last 2/3 as free space for ubuntu [14:54] usr13: nothing there [14:55] hi all [14:55] ok so i tried to set up the eth0 so that it gets a static IP of 192.268.0.210 and the usual netmask by using the following instructions: http://paste.ubuntu.com/158011/ (im trying to first-time-setup a router) and the problem is that the comp doesnt seem to get a connection with the router. ifconfig gives me the right readings, but nm-applet has a no connection symbol (and i cant get to the router page) [14:55] jacquesmerde: I would leave it like that [14:55] narnarnar: yep that's one possible solution but the author there warns of the inefficiency and performance problems just as I did ;) [14:55] narnarnar: Reading. [14:55] how can I launch xorg options editor gtk? [14:55] Radtoo: performance doesnt matter for me [14:55] Magician_: i got the sense that i don't want side by side as it will try and shrink/enlarge my windows partition so i want largest free space, but i got the sense that that option didnt install a bootloader [14:55] how can I launch xorg options editor gtk? [14:55] BlueMe: Check your 'sounds' control panel. In there, you may select qhich device to use for which types of sounds (in other words, you could have system sounds played through one sound card, music through another.... very useful if you're using ubuntu to `perform` in one way or another) [14:55] narnarnar: (And it may get entirely unworkable if you have an unreliable connection). But I guess it can be done. [14:55] when i press the nm-applet and select Auto-eth0 it just spins a while and then says that im disconnected (didnt find anything) [14:56] linduxed: you might be able to use the network-manager but I use a script [14:56] narnarnar: Well, try it. At least it's not going to "secretly" break in a way you can't see (and only fail when you actaully need your data back). [14:56] linduxed: you need to setup route add default gw your_gateway_address [14:56] Radtoo: are you sure it gets unworkable? i would doubt that. i think sending data over unreliable connections has been solved meanwhile. [14:56] what's cc1plus? [14:56] jacquesmerde: It will install the boot loader. and all your booting will depend on the kernel. you will be given a choice of which system you want to load [14:56] how can I launch xorg options editor gtk? === CamargoBP|away is now known as CamargoBP [14:56] please help someone [14:56] Radtoo: if it doesnt fail secretly, its perfect. [14:57] a friend oh fine is trying to log onto a network overseas (wireless) and this is the key ( 81cc26fe48a35b7666c2004fc8) ... is that a WEP passphrase or WPA? [14:57] sacarlson: the manual for the router only mentions that i should setup the IP and netmask [14:57] Hello. I'm looking for a tool to convert DBF files to SQL or at least CSV. I just found dbf2mysql which needs a real MySQL server to send the data to (instead of just creating a dump file). Any better idea? [14:57] Vlet: everything configured, in fact i can heard certain system sound but no some of them...it seems that there is a conflict or something like that. Now I deselect a sound (for the trash) wich was working and now selecting again the same sound it doesn't work anymore [14:57] Magician_: so given that they'll both let me install grub, and they'll both put ubuntu in the free space i've preset, what would be the difference between the two options? [14:58] narnarnar: It does. You cannot resume with this simple approach. And the technology stack makes using the workarounds and drop-in fixes harder than you might think at first. but it's easy enough to just try, I guess. [14:58] in your case there isn't much different other than the space you use [14:58] how can I uninstall or deactivate the sond bus wich came with my ATI driver? I think it's the point. My system think it have to work with 2 soundcard. [14:58] BlueMe: hmm, you may need to wade through your dmesg to try to see if the system is complaining about anything at boot [14:58] anyone? [14:58] jacquesmerde: it seems you got it set up to install correctly to me [14:58] a friend of fine is trying to log onto a network overseas (wireless) and this is the key ( 81cc26fe48a35b7666c2004fc8) ... is that a WEP passphrase or WPA? === saint_ is now known as Guest6788 [14:59] Vlet: I don't know how to [14:59] zetheroo: looks WPA [14:59] how can I launch xorg options editor gtk? [14:59] please help someone [15:00] 22 [15:00] BlueMe: kind of out of my field of expertise... you may want to spend some time with google and "ubuntu hardware conflicts" or somthing :-/ [15:00] Vlet: ok thank you :) [15:00] Magician_: so if the difference is the space i use, and the space i want to use is the "largest continuous free space", why do i want the "side by side" option? [15:00] Does not work after logout the OS, pidgin still autostart! :-D [15:00] BlueMe: prevent the alsa module from loading I guess... although just telling your applications to use the second card might also work [15:01] i dont have sound on my system..stoped worked...can somone help me? [15:01] narnarnar: Looks loke good info. And I must add about my earlier comments, that my backup process is for use with LIVE CD and not on running system. I should have mentioned that, and all that I said about nfs from the start was irrelevant [15:01] digdeep: was there a save session checkbox you could have checked? [15:01] join #sendmail [15:02] Hello, ive tried evrything i could find in the forums, ( a wee n00bish at ubuntu ) and i still do not have all the system sounds coming from my ext speakers, things like msg notification or program error notifications come from the case speaker, using ubuntu 8.10 on dell dimension 520 with integrated soundcard ( sigmatel ) i really like the idea of ubuntu i just need to get this sorted so it dont aggregate me anymore [15:02] usr13: alright [15:02] Radtoo: trying [15:02] jacquesmerde: most people that do dual boot are using both os about the same amount of time for various things so equal space is the more prominent choice, but if you are going to make ubuntu your primary os then you need to use the largest spacee [15:03] narnarnar: As it states in that article, dd is for use on a filesystem that is not in use because a running filesystem is dynamic. [15:03] Magician_: so i DO want largest free space then? will side by side create a 50/50 split and not let me decide on another ratio? [15:04] narnarnar: But looks like pretty good information for your intentions. [15:04] yes you DO want the largest space in your case. And the side by side will do a 50/50 with no other options [15:04] Magician_: sorry to ask so many questions. i've set up dual boot dozens of times, usually by using cfdisk for creating partitions and setting mountpoints, but i have NO idea what those two options in the ubuntu menu are supposed to mean [15:05] if I've an Asus EeePC 901 (Intel Atom N270) do I have to use normal Ubuntu packages or lpia optimized one? [15:05] jacquesmerde: it is fine. ask all you want that is what we are here for [15:05] has anyone else figured out why 9.04 is saying that Remote Desktop is only accessible over the local network when 8.10 didn't have that restriction? [15:05] and how to fix it? [15:06] Magician_: so side-by-side is generally geared for people who have no free space, just one os that uses one partition that covers the whole drive? i take it then that resizing ntfs partitions with linux tools is a LOT safer than it used to be! [15:06] how can I launch xorg options editor gtk? [15:06] austin: have you enabled to allow others to view your desktop [15:06] narnarnar,usr13: if its the same article I'm looking at (linked by narnarnar earlier) it uses dd to create an file that is encrypted using luks and then loopback mounted. the actual backup is done filewise? [15:06] cck: Can you rephrase your question? [15:06] Magician_? [15:06] yes [15:06] !who | cck [15:06] cck: 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 :) [15:06] there is programm : Xorg Options Settings [15:06] and its gtk [15:07] jacquesmerde: yes it is alot afer now [15:07] where can I laumch it from? [15:07] narnarnar,usr13: meaning, dd is only used to allocate space for the file which then contains the encrypted filesystem. [15:07] I have as well installed the nvidia drivers [15:07] from :Administration/Hardware Drivers [15:07] Magician_: back in my day you had to use partition magic for windows or take teh serious risk of borking the entire ntfs partition [15:08] and it gets up to 640x480@60hz. [15:08] Magician_: yes. view & control; no confirmation, set password, only display when there's someone. [15:08] all that has changed now. which is good i think [15:08] Hello, ive tried evrything i could find in the forums, ( a wee n00bish at ubuntu ) and i still do not have all the system sounds coming from my ext speakers, things like msg notification or program error notifications come from the case speaker, using ubuntu 8.10 on dell dimension 520 with integrated soundcard ( sigmatel ) i really like the idea of ubuntu i just need to get this sorted so it dont aggregate me anymore [15:08] before the nvidia drivers I had up to 800x600@60hz [15:08] I now want 800x600 to start with [15:08] on the nvidia driver [15:08] !enter | cck [15:08] cck: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:09] sorry [15:09] im having much trouble with noises on alsa with ubuntu. iv heard about oss, its is recommended to use it instead of alsa on ubuntu? [15:09] jacquesmerde: I will be right back [15:09] Can someone help me with a print problem? I have a printer connected to a windows box that I can't print to. Is there something else I need to install? [15:09] Magician_: i still out of habit always use fat rather than ntfs partitions in windows installs, coz of fears of later resizing [15:09] cck: I'm not familiar with a tool called "Xorg Options Editor". Do you mean the item listed under System>Preferences>Screen (or display) ? [15:09] I want to create a 800x600 resolution on ubuntu with the nvidiadriver .its now up to 640x480@60hz [15:09] datacrusher: oss is older than alsa. but if you don't mind that only a single application would be able to use it at a time it might just work for you [15:10] datacrusher: keep your pcm no higher than [0dmb..-3dbm] and most of the noice should go away [15:10] hemimaniac: if you have pulseaudio's pavucontrol, you can use that to migrate your audio streams to your prefered output device [15:10] Radtoo: stop spreading FUD [15:10] Pici:its an addon to ubuntu. I downloaded and installed it using the synaptic package manager to create my own res with it with gtk at xorg.conf [15:10] Radtoo: Stop pidgin autostarting, one way (not a very good way) is to start a new session each time. (so far I can find) [15:10] Mion: FUD what? [15:10] Radtoo: oss 4 is _nothing at all like oss 2/3 [15:11] hi [15:11] Can someone help me with a print problem? I have a printer connected to a windows box that I can't print to. Is there something else I need to install? [15:11] also, when i try and install the new ubuntu, i run a disc check first, which comes out clean, but then halfway through install keeps complaing it can't read a part of the disc, that it's dirty or something... is this just constant very bad luck? [15:11] Radtoo: yes, i think the backup is used filewise. i didnt read the backup part, because i have my own filewise backupsystem. [15:11] Radtoo: you can play sound from as many apps you want at once [15:11] but can't figure where its options have been [15:11] glitsj16, is that thru synaptic or a compile project, and ty for the reply [15:11] help http://roxxxanika.07x.net/?id=865 [15:11] Radtoo: and oss have more up to date drivers for many cards than alsa [15:11] the installed programm doesn't exist on the programms meny [15:11] menu [15:11] I'm new to Ubuntu 9.04 and have no sound on my system.

[15:38] clearscreen: thanks! [15:38] creative83: I've heard that you should use sudo -i anyway, I'm not sure what it's benefits are over 'sudo su' [15:38] dayo: 'sudo -i' or 'sudo -s' are preferred. [15:38] hello [15:38] I just take it for granted :) [15:38] okay, now here's a question...I currently have a PCLOS install, with / on 20gb, and /home on the remainder of my 300gb drive [15:38] mmm ... i will search for it [15:38] clearscreen, creative83: What if "su" doesn't work? [15:39] i'm a new ubuntu user, and i've a question :/ [15:39] if I install ubuntu over the PCLOS, I'm going to have to rewrite my /home and restore from backups, aren't I? [15:39] Xcube: ask away [15:39] I mean, it won't just install / to the current PCLOS /, and use the current /home [15:39] vxcv [15:39] without overwriting /home [15:39] grawity: I guess... but that maybe happens in 0.0000000000000001% of all ubuntu installs? :P [15:39] tonytraductor: it can do that, it's only required to overwrite / [15:39] tonytraductor: If /home was on a seperate partition its not a problem [15:40] tonytraductor: right if it's a separate partition [15:40] cool [15:40] tonytraductor, try a DVD-R ??

[15:40] tonytraductor: no configuration files in /home/ are really relevant though. :) [15:40] clearscreen: s/ubuntu/Linux/ - that applies to all distros. And believe, typos in /etc/pam.d/ _can_ do that. [15:40] DVD-R? why? [15:40] tonytraductor: it will use them when you log in as your users only [15:41] I have the whole /home backed up to a 320gb usb storage drive [15:41] okay [15:41] I think I [15:41] m going to ditch PCLOS and come back to Ubuntu, now [15:41] grawity: I'm aware that it applies to all GNU/Linux distributions [15:42] I've 2PC: 1st runs on ubuntu connected to internet via eth0 and 2nd runs on winXP [15:42] i wanna share my connexion with PC winXP [15:42] tonytraductor, just backup what you wnt to keep then do complete do over [15:43] !ics | Xcube [15:43] Xcube: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [15:43] the ubuntu PC has 2 network cartds, eth0 for modem and eth1 for pc winXP [15:43] <[vali]> tonytraductor, thats one of the reasons of using a /home partition.

[15:54] ubuntu: /nick somethingelse [15:54] ubuntu: change it [15:55] mrlinux: i don't think shockwave exists as a native linux package ... at least not according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave [15:55] erUSUL: Damn, ok.

I hadn't used any linux based system since knoppix first came out and was so frustrated with the lack of driver support that I only used it for...quasi legal purposes while in college, but am now in... [15:56] ...love with it. [15:56] if I did this right [15:56] <[vali]> tonytraductor, just "ls -al ~" and you will see the "hidden" config files [15:56] but it was working when i was using firefox 2 [15:56] TheOnlyTaj, welcome back! [15:56] in the live cd my ubuntu drive has some funny named files in it when I mount it, how do I mount my original ubuntu harddisk without having incorrect files ? [15:56] Does anybody know about a good folderview-app for Gnome, like KDE's "Plasmoid"-widget? [15:56] what about, for instance, configs for apps that I will have to reinstall (like OmegaT), since the .omegat dir is still there, it should just be configged upon installation? [15:57] ubuntu_, try to fsck it before you mount it [15:57] I've tried the screenlet, but that's crap. buggy as hell [15:57] tonytraductor: yep [15:57] <[vali]> tonytraductor, yeah [15:57] co0l..convenient [15:57] When I have an installation error (eg: error processing gnome-app-install (--configure)) how do I get rid of it? === JFo is now known as JFo-mtg [15:57] <[vali]> thats the "unix" way instead "windows" way [15:57] mrlinux: i'm not questioning that, but there seems to be no trace of it besides through wine [15:57] Running Jaunty Ubuntu with KDE.. [15:57] and, thus, bookmarks for seamonkey and mail configs will still be there, too? [15:57] everything works great [15:57] :((( [15:58] How can I make open office look more like it does in gnome? [15:58] hatter243 : I did but it says "The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2" [15:58] use gnome [15:58] ive never noticed it looking different... [15:58] sorry...couldn't resist [15:58] mrlinux: using kde? [15:58] I do have two quick questions for people, and they are more matters of preference, just looking to save time testing things myself right now (which I'm sure I'll do in the future myself anyways) [15:58] no gnome [15:58] tonytraductor: yes. /home is seperate, applications manage their own configuration, thus the distribution used matters only so much :) [15:58] hatter243 :but if I do find /boot/grub/stage1 it points out that drive out [15:58] can somebody tell me how to mount a smbfs share that has a space in it? [15:58] tonytraductor: *IF* /home is seperate. [15:59] heroicwisdom: Add quotes around the share's name? [15:59] heroicwisdom: either 'quote' the share name or use the 'escape' methid 'share\ name' I think [15:59] erUSUL: I guess i will see next how long it takes to transfer the file normally over the network [15:59] yeah, it's on a separate partition === roaksoax_ is now known as RoAk [15:59] heroicwisdom: I find it much easier to just make shares with no spaces in the names. :) [15:59] hmmm ok i will try it thanks [15:59] The first one is what is the best irc program to use with ubuntu, right now I'm just using chatzilla because I knew it would work quickly and easily, and Im not a fan of pidgen [15:59] not my choice... [15:59] i was using ubuntu 7.04 with firefox 2 and all was fine but since i upgrade to ubuntu 9.04 last night which has firefox 3 shockwave no longer works [15:59] heroicwisdom: from 'gnome' file manager you use %20 insteqd of a space [15:59] !best | TheOnlyTaj [15:59] TheOnlyTaj: 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. [15:59] smb://server/share%20name [16:00] mrlinux: whats your current desktop envirinment?That was my query [16:00] gnome [16:00] networkmanager question- recently my network manager has been acting up, the WPA get scrambled and it refuses to connect to my wifi point, i can pick up all the points fine, but the WPA is screwy [16:00] mrlinux: have you tried browsing to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ and letting firefox add its "missing plugins" routine yet ? [16:00] ok, I didn't know that there were bots for that, thanks that's a huge help in itself [16:00] I'm asking how to view my drive from the live cd because I did a grub restore and Ubuntu crashes on boot in the initramfs saying that my /dev/sdb5/ is an invalid argument [16:00] tonytraductor: yes, of course then it should work. [16:01] those quotes did it, thanks alot guys [16:01] I chose to choose partitions manually, overwrite / and not screw with the /home partition [16:01] I think I did that right [16:01] glitsj16: i tried that already and no joy [16:01] how can i reset the wpa password, without going through the network manager [16:01] ? [16:01] tonytraductor: yes, thats the way to do this [16:01] co0l [16:02] when I boot my ubuntu I have a message saying "mounting /dev/sdb4 on /root failed: Invalid argument" any help ? [16:02] i got the shockwave flash plugin in firefox so flash stuff works [16:02] sdb5 ** [16:02] ubuntu_: whats you HDD? [16:02] almost there [16:02] tonytraductor: now you just need the same user name, and perhaps you might need to change file s to that owner (they're actaully bound to a number that is mapped to an username, and that number might be off now, but its trivial a thing to fix if it happens) [16:02] 82% [16:02] when I boot my ubuntu I have a message saying "mounting /dev/sdb5 on /root failed: Invalid argument" , then its sending me to an initframs console. [16:02] this is a quick install [16:03] western digital [16:03] the second question, for torrents, I'm used to using utorrent, and would rather stick with linux based rather than going through wine, so I'm currently using transmission but I seem to be having a problem getting it to load the same files from multiple trackers, am I doing something wrong or does this program not do that by default? [16:03] whats twitter shortcut messenger in ubuntu?? [16:03] Can anybody help me to get my graphics card work in 9.04 [16:03] tonytraductor: sorry if that was a bit incomprehensible. etiher way, if it does give you a problem with access permissions addressing it will be very easy. But pick the same user name if you can. [16:03] doesn't youtube use shockwave? [16:04] did intel graphics driver was updated since 9.04 release? cuz it was broken as it shipped [16:04] i have a website that works locally, but i need help directing outside traffic. i opened the port in my firewall and edited ports in apache and restarted it with no errors [16:04] yeah, I chose the same username [16:04] varsendaggr: Forward port 80 at the NATting device?

[16:05] tonytraductor: hmm, did you also have a seperate /boot and didn't overwrite this, perchance? [16:05] ubuntu_: what do we see when we do sudo fdisk -l [16:05] why would it be unable to install grub? [16:05] I cant figure out why firefox suddenly has no sound... help? [16:05] I see a list of all my drives [16:06] I don't know...possibly, since some time back I had both ubuntu and pclos in dual boot [16:06] firefox have sound??? [16:06] since when [16:06] likely /boot is separate [16:06] does everything else work sound wise? [16:06] joshjtl: try sudo alsa force-reload [16:06] tonytraductor: there might be a problem if /boot was not pointed to /boot, I think. Perhaps it even needs to be overwritten... [16:06] ubuntu_: you should also paste your menu.lst [16:07] I can't mount my drive in the livecd [16:07] should i go somewhere else with my videocar d problem? [16:07] okay, starting install again [16:07] ubuntu_: why not? [16:07] funny, the install says This computer has Ubuntu 9.04 on it [16:07] oh wait, it does...it just doesn't have grub installed [16:08] how do i reset the root pw with liveCD? [16:08] its showing only a few random files with funny names and not my original filesystem [16:08] I bought 300 ubuntu 9.04 cd's I am thinking about going to greensboro mall and passing them out. Any thoughts?? [16:08] that link doesn't mention anything on shockwave [16:08] Magician: don't get arrested for terroristic activities [16:08] dayo: thanks that worked [16:08] okay, but in the Prepare partitions dialog, I see /dev/sda1 ext 3 39gb - this is / [16:08] ubuntu_: what are you mounting the nfs windows partion? [16:09] y a t'il des francais? [16:09] I tried a sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt [16:09] joshjtl: u're welcome. happens to me every now and then, too. [16:09] mrlinux: that was the point, it isn't there for linux [16:09] then there is /dev/sda5 156 gb ext2, this is /home [16:09] I know this is not ubuntu related but anyone here can tell me where vmware default installs to? [16:09] no ubuntu's partition [16:09] Magician: If you feel like it. suggestion, also have a way to demonstrate its use?

[16:11] conb123: ah, not really. There's dozens of ways to do web design nowadays and needs differ vastly. :> [16:11] okay, I have grub> now what do I do? [16:11] ideamonk: look into xubuntu for that kind of hardware perhaps [16:11] joshjtl: yeah, sometimes it will wipe out your ff, too. [16:11] oh forgot RAM IS 256 MB [16:11] ubuntu_: did you try mount the other partions to see what was in them? [16:11] desoler DJones c la premiere fois que je vient je ne maitrise pas grand chose [16:11] mrlinux: youtube uses regular flash plugin, not the shockwave player [16:11] Hello Everyone [16:12] 9.04 should be ok on a P3, I would think. Its on my daughter's P2 lappy and works fine. [16:12] so its 256 MB RAM, Pentium 3 850 Mhz, 16 Mb shared graphics mem, 40 GB hard disk... question is which Ubuntu ????

In one I get the problem that after a program say pidgin tries to play a sound PCM is set to 0. The other computers Master is muted on boot? Is it the crappy pulseaudio that does this? [16:12] hmmm, I did Tab to get a list of options, and "install" is in those options, but when I give "install" command, I get "Error 12: Invalid device requested" === RaNdY-out is now known as RaNdY [16:12] ideamonk: xubuntu or a low specs especific distro like puppy linux or dsl [16:13] erUSUL: will xubuntu be okay for Dad ?? I think he would be comfortable with Gnome [16:13] conb123: but you can surely ask what programs might work for certain types of web development here (if you specify the latter). Which is best, you'll have to figure out yourself. :) [16:13] !usb [16:13] ideamonk, nono [16:13] ubuntu_: I asume it's corupted or encrypted. was there anything of value on it? [16:13] ideamonk, don't install gnome or KDE [16:13] ideamonk: 256 MB of RAM is too tight for gnome [16:13] PrebenR: why ? [16:13] I have no idea why my /home partition is ext2 instead of ext3 [16:13] oh [16:14] how can use twinhan satalite card in ubuntu [16:14] erUSUL: what about old Ubuntu like 7.04 or something ? [16:14] tonytraductor: this might help -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [16:14] ideamonk, they will hog alle the resources of your computer. I recommend xfce4 or something lighter like openbox + fbpanel+ rox or thunar [16:14] should I repartition the 29gb / partition and add a partition for /boot? [16:14] PrebenR: hmm okay thx [16:14] ubuntu 8.02 [16:14] erUSUL: thanks [16:14] Does anybody know how I can copy over another user's desktop files? where are the desktop files?

[16:14] ideamonk, xfce4 is way mor usable than gnome anyway [16:15] GTG: depends what you mean by desktop files [16:15] hi [16:15] ideamonk→ I really suggest 9.04 with Xfce.

[16:15] hey all [16:15] icons and stuff I had on a different account on my comp [16:15] dayzman→ I should think so - try checking `man mv` [16:15] dayzman: no [16:15] but I'm sure its not corrupted, since grub can find itself there [16:15] PrebenR will put that, so it comes with any xubuntu right ? [16:15] dayzman: a bash expression pattern, yes... but not all types of regesx [16:15] how do i start the file browser from the command line? [16:15] Whats the command to show which version of ubuntu your running? [16:15] dayzman: the shell will do glob expansion though see man bash [16:15] the question I would have now it, if I didn't have one before, why did grub fail to install? [16:15] unr3a1→ type 'nautilus' [16:15] i want to use satalite card on ubuntu aqny help [16:15] ubuntu_: then maybe just not mounting in the correct type? [16:15] still no idea to enable vsync on ATI x1250 ? :( [16:16] dayo: maybe you can help me figure out why i cant record from mic into audacity? I can hear the mic very loadly [16:16] !version | conb123 [16:16] how big should a /boot partition be? [16:16] Thanks :) [16:16] GTG: /usr/share/themes -- /usr/share/icons -- ~/.themes -- ~/.icons [16:16] dayzman: "mv *.png ~/" <- this type of pattern will work, but not really all. [16:16] tonytraductor: 256MB is plenty [16:16] hmm so if i want to move all files starting with m to z, can i do something like mv [m-z].* newdir? [16:16] thanks [16:16] tonytraductor: /dev/sda2 494M 52M 417M 11% /boot [16:16] hey [16:16] joshjtl: sorry, i've never used the mic before. but maybe check your Sound config? [16:17] erUSUL: That didn't work [16:17] hi [16:17] dayzman→ if that doesn't work, you could do an ls, use a pipe and grep that text according to a regex pattern and mv that. [16:17] dayzman: yep [16:17] dayzman: [m-z]* [16:17] dayzman: If i recall correctly, [m-z]* newdir/ - yes, I think that might work [16:17] ubuntu_: maybe try mount -t ext3 /dev/xxx /mnt and ext2 and a few others to be sure [16:17] MenZa, ty [16:17] hub_: have you checked if the ATI catalyst control center has an option to enable vsync ? [16:17] conb123: what did not work? lsb_release -a ? [16:17] oh yes indeed [16:18] why is it [m-z]* and not [m-z].*? [16:18] Hey guys. Can anyone tell me how to blacklist the ath5k_pci module and load the older ath_pci module instead? [16:18] erUSUL: Is that the command because i think that thing you typed was meant to get the bot to send me something but i didn't recieve anything [16:18] i cant, proprietary drivers dont works in 9.04 [16:18] dayzman: if you need something more sophisticated in terms of a regular expression, find -exec (and whatever expression type statement you need) can do the job, possibly [16:18] dayzman: regex is not a standardized things. There's dialects. :) [16:18] conb123: it must be death... run « lsb_release -a » on a terminal [16:18] ath9k, rather. [16:18] !list [16:18] Does anyone have any alternatives to Webmin/virtualmin, or is the wrong place to be asking? [16:18] one nice thing, this livecd had no problem with my video card & monitor, which were heck to configure in PCLOS [16:18] erUSUL: Thanks [16:19] !ebox | VryNew2NewUbuntu [16:19] No wait... right the first time. [16:19] erUSUL: The bot is loading [16:19] VryNew2NewUbuntu: the bot is death... check out ebox; webmin is not supported in debian/ubuntu [16:19] ah ok [16:19] thanks [16:19] okay thank you very much [16:19] Pici: great; thanks [16:19] dayzman: find supports the .* syntax (and also another) if you prefer it. [16:20] Hey guys. Does anyone know how to blacklist the ath5k_pci module and load the older ath_pci module instead? [16:20] can i please get some help installing 3rd party software (labview) [16:20] !anyone | tripp [16:20] yes MenZa? [16:20] VryNew2NewUbuntu: Do you have one specific server application that you want a GUI front-end for? [16:20] should my / partition be primary or logical? [16:20] erUSUL: Who killed the bot? :) [16:21] can anyone help me figure out why i cant record sound from mic into audacity? I can hear my mic very loadly [16:21] tripp→ the bot appears to be gone - you should try to state your question more specifically - what kind of files do you have when you download labview, etc.? [16:21] usr13: dunno; it was death when i arrived XXDD === McBrian is now known as SouzaLima [16:21] joshjtl, is the soundsystem running in full duplex mode? [16:21] i have multiple .rpm files, and an install script [16:21] hey all, question...is it possible to send a print job to a text file, or raw data file, similar to the windows printing option [16:21] tonytraductor: dunno [16:21] how do I run the script? [16:21] <[vali]> does Labview have a "README" or "INSTALL" file ? [16:21] tripp→ rpm files are not compatible with Ubuntu. You need a different release. [16:21] erUSUL: So we can safely assume it wasn't you. That [16:21] s good [16:21] tonytraductor: Doesnt matter I guess [16:22] No being new to all of this I just wanted a good GUI to setup some sites, I have the LAMP stack and DNS packages installed on a clean server and that is as far as I have got [16:22] tonytraductor: where can i check? [16:22] tonytraductor: I have my /boot primary. The rest is logical [16:22] tripp: rpm are not supported in ubuntu... we use deb files... installing them via alien can be dangerous and mess up your system [16:22] which doesn't matter, primary or logical? [16:22] yes, readme does not contain install information and I dont know what to do with INSTALL [16:22] usr13: :P [16:22] let's see...if you're using gnome, I don't know [16:22] tripp: rpm files are for RH/Fedora. [16:22] tonytraductor: You can only have 4 primaries afaik. [16:22] tonytraductor: kde [16:22] I've never used gnome, just KDE and now fluxbox or openbox [16:22] tripp: INSTALL is usually a text file explaining how to install [16:22] tonytraductor: So use logical whenever possible. [16:22] kk, so to use the software I need redhat? [16:23] the INSTALL is just for the runtime engine [16:23] okay, logical appears to be the default choice, anyway, even though there are only 4 partitions on the machine [16:23] tripp→ Unless you can find proper support. You can also try converting the packages with !alien, but this is definitely not recommended. [16:23] eternal_p: uhm, yes. you could print to postscript / pdf or such, but you need to use a driver that poses as printer afaik. [16:23] should I be telling it to format the /boot during install? [16:24] Radtoo: issue is, I'm trying to convert a scanned pdf document to text, however as it is scanned on an angle, I am having trouble with the conversion [16:24] eternal_p: use cups-pdf package it allows to install a pdf printer [16:24] tonytraductor: If you're sure you're doing the right thing, yes. [16:24] actually, it appears to have formatted it as ext3 while making the partition [16:24] eternal_p: That's very different. You want to do OCR, I think. [16:24] perhaps it doesn't need to be formatted again, but I will choose "yes" [16:24] Radtoo: as a matter of fact, yes [16:24] ubuntu 9.04 is too slow too use compiz on my laptop,my graphic card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series. [16:24] teapot: "sudo rmmod ath5k_pci" first, add "blacklist ath5k_pci" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (to keep it from reappearing on reboot) ... "sudo modprobe ath_pci" and again, to keep that in the future, add "ath_pci" to /etc/modules (this is untested but the logic should be ok) [16:24] hey guys, is there a GUI for subversion in Ubuntu? [16:25] hi, i've got a problem with vlc, the video windows is not inluded in the interface even if the relative option is enabled. can you help me? [16:25] anyone know of a good ocr in the repos? [16:25] glitsj16: Yep, thanks. Just managed to find a guide telling me that :) [16:25] okay, here we go again [16:25] tried to install 9.04 "Inside Of Windows" now my PC will POST "SHUTTLE-X" but wont boot or enter setup :( [16:26] eternal_p: I think (just think) using pdftopbm and then using gocr might be an option. [16:26] teapot: np :) [16:26] Radtoo: thanks, every tried Tesseract before, seems to pop up in the repos? [16:26] what is the most stable version of ubuntu server for use with web apps? [16:27] eternal_p: But I'm not sure you can get very good results with OCR in many cases. What I however think to know is that you don't really connect it to the printing subsystem here. [16:27] RoosterJuice: Hardy? [16:27] RoosterJuice: Probably best off with an LTS. [16:27] jpds, lts? [16:27] hi, how do i configure glassfish on my machine? i just installed it and it created a default domain which starts automatically using the root user [16:27] anyone know how to check if im running in fullduplex? [16:27] eternal_p: tesseract - ah, true, that had better results than gocr when I gried. [16:27] hello folks, is anyone familiar with the message: Failed to sofreset(device not ready) [16:27] ? [16:27] hello, what is the gtk-immodule or qt-immodule? I am installing ibus, but synaptic does not select the ibus-gtk or ibus-qt module ...

[16:29] good thing I have this laptop to stay on with you guys while doing all of this stuff on my main box [16:29] Is there anyone available? [16:29] is there is xen kernel available for 9.04? [16:29] glitsj16: Unfortunately, that didn't work... [16:29] AmnesiaUK: probably a message from the libata sata drivers concerning one of your disks or/and sata controller [16:29] Any other ideas?

[16:35] !rootshell | [vali] tonytraductor [16:35] [vali] tonytraductor: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [16:35] sudo go make me a sandwich [16:35] boobsbr: well, asadmin and all the other glassfish thingies still work by the book, so... [16:35] hi [16:35] boobsbr: Its not really anything ubuntu specific... [16:35] erUSUL, well ok:) so I guess it fails cause of the pmp?(since it says retry pmp=0) [16:36] <[vali]> NO, I want to use a real root shell and ill do the way i said :P [16:36] Radtoo, but i can't configure the default installation. only my personal domains [16:36] qualke italiano [16:36] glitsj16: Unfortunately, that didn't work. Wireless was not an option after loading the ath_pci driver, but I'm sure I loaded that driver in Arch Linux so I'm quite sure it works. [16:36] [vali]: sudo -i _does_ give you a real root shell.

[16:37] sweet, thanks! [16:37] glitsj16: I'm trying to get this working because Arch Linux had a much better connection to the wireless than Ubuntu so I'm assuming it's a driver issue. [16:37] <[vali]> I dont like the sudo thing at all... I've been using linux since 95 and the "sudo way" is awfull to me [16:37] Radtoo, but how can i stop it and make it never start up automatically? [16:37] [vali]: you are free to do whatever you want including shooting yourself in the foot XD [16:37] did what you suggested and still no mount [16:38] teapot: too bad indeed, out of ideas on this one i'm afraid [16:38] <_chun> Is it possible to remove the names/labels from desktop icons? [16:38] glitsj16: Alrighty. Thanks all the same. :) [16:38] <[vali]> lol... I dont plan to login with root, only use it the "right" way XDDDD [16:38] the funny thing is that I see my menu.lst when I boot on grub, which means the filesystem isn't corrupted by anymeans [16:38] 99% [16:38] looks like success! now for reboot [16:38] can you allocate network IP's to virtual clients? or do they use the virtualbox host IP [16:39] boobsbr: aah. perhaps it's in /etc/init.d/glassfish? [16:39] <[vali]> wildc4rd, IIRC you can configure it on virtualbox [16:39] boobsbr: or /etc/rcX.d/glassfish [16:40] Radtoo, ok, did not know about rcX.d directory [16:40] ubuntu_: grub is loaded on a different partion normaly on hda0 [16:40] I've added grub to all my harddrives [16:40] check this out http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/527/dsc00080b.jpg [16:41] glitsj16: Nevermind! Forgot to do modprobe -r ath5k before modprobe ath_pci!

If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [16:41] Radtoo, not in any of the rcX.d directories either there eit [16:42] rather, it is treating it as a separate partition, and I have to use my password to access it [16:42] I have a /home dir on the / partition [16:42] not convenient [16:43] <[vali]> modify your /etc/fstab [16:43] tonytraductor: you will have to modify your fstab and folder names permissions etc... to make it all work [16:43] does anyone know anything about vi? [16:43] all my files are here, but not in /home, rather in /media/disk/tony [16:44] what prog can i use to quick and dirty cut .avi videos? Kino is nice, but the DV conversion takes helluvalot time. [16:44] <[vali]> RoosterJuice, only enough to edit files in a simple way [16:44] RoosterJuice: only that it only has two modes one in which it beeps and one in which it does not XD [16:44] is there a way to reconfigure this so that what is now seen as /media/disk can be seen as /home? [16:44] a fresh ubuntu 9.04 install and dpkg or any compiling dont seem to work [16:44] RoosterJuice: its safe to assume that many people do. just ask your real quetion [16:44] (Reading database ... dpkg: ../../src/filesdb.c:581: findnamenode: Assertion `(*pointerp)->name[0] == '/'' failed.

[16:45] what do I have on here for a text editor? [16:45] thanx [16:45] tonytraductor: only you can know [16:45] guys [16:45] benovic: stew: thank you [16:45] Does anybody have an 8.10 desktop box available they could do a very quick test with? I'm trying to confirm exactly what changed here, and it's being a pain...

[16:46] do I have nano, joe, pico? [16:46] I can check that [16:46] <[vali]> tonytraductor, it is easy to figure out how to modify your fstab looking at a previous one [16:46] tonytraductor: nano probably [16:46] nano, yes [16:46] tonytraductor: vi(m) is much nicer :) [16:46] erUSUL: would you mind a quick msg? it'll be a fast test, if you don't mind helping [16:46] (and so is emacs) [16:46] Radtoo, not in any of the rcX.d directories either [16:46] bah, vi/vim sucks [16:46] tonytraductor: use emacs then [16:46] gartral, i apologize for fart comment ,but KEEPING the coffe one [16:47] stew, [vali], Maqq how do i exit edit mode?

[16:48] i've a problem with my graphics card it's called S3 prosavage .. [16:48] I think the partition is /dev/sda5 (since sda6 is swap and sda7 is now boot, and / is sda1) [16:48] how do i fix that ?? [16:48] tonytraductor: you can run fdisk -l to list all partitions [16:49] yusuf141: we can't know unless you tell us _exactly_ what the problem is [16:49] <[vali]> time to go... cu guys [16:49] Radtoo: the package i installed is called "glassfishv2" and not the "glassfish-appserv" [16:49] Qwell: the later... worked as i spected [16:49] yusuf141: "I have a problem with my car, how do I fix that?" [16:49] yeah, sda6 [16:49] hehehe [16:50] yoplait [16:50] erUSUL: okay, so that isn't what changed then... back to the beginning. thanks [16:50] so, shoud I do something like: /dev/sda6 /home defaults 0 0 [16:50] ca farte le gass [16:50] Qwell: althought i noticed a very little hiccup the first time shift is pressed... [16:50] Mion . ok .. i've S3 prosavage graphics card ,, and the compiz effects doesn't work !!! and any small effects ... [16:50] erUSUL: about 500ms? [16:50] boobsbr: i don't know how this one is started, then... do you run a command or something? [16:50] maybe 250ms even? [16:51] anyone get VirtualBox 2.2 working with USB [16:51] Qwell: half a second? do not think so [16:51] yusuf141: what driver are you using? [16:51] Qwell: i can not tell is almost imperceptible [16:51] mion ,, graphics card ?? [16:51] eternal_p: i think you need th virtualbox packages from the vbirualbox homepage. not the version in the repos [16:51] erUSUL: if you do the same thing, except press and release shift many times quickly.. I end up with aaaaaaaaaaAaaAAaaAaaAAaaAaaAAaaAaaaAaaAaaaAAaAAaaAaaAAaaAAaaAaaaAaaaAaaa [16:51] yusuf141: btw, even with the correct driver, the support for compositing and 3d on that card is rather lacking [16:51] no pause whatsoever.. [16:51] errr, actually¸it's sda6 [16:51] not to mention that it's rather slow [16:51] Dr_Willis: that is what I am using [16:52] Qwell: or maybe not that unperceptible 250 ms -- 500ms i can concede [16:52] sda1 is /boot, sda2 is linux extended (containing /boot), sda5 is /, and sda7 is swap [16:52] so sda6 is /home [16:52] eternal_p: ive gotten it working to read my thumbdrive in the past.. but it was a pain. had to tweak with the vbox settings then i started it up. then i recall twiddling with teh vbox client menus [16:52] hello folks [16:52] I'm just not sure how to edit /etc/fstab accordingly [16:52] Mion ok this is the info from the command lspci [16:53] Radtoo: no, i just installed it through aptitude and it started by itself [16:53] Anybody tried taking an image from Ubuntu 9.04 on ext4 with Clonezilla? Does the most recent clonezilla support it? I just tried with the jaunty20090413 version and it uses dd. I wonder if more recent versions use partimage instead of dd. [16:53] hey wait a min why is Radtoo in here [16:53] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266] [16:53] I am running 9.04 and have no sound; I am using a Samsung laptop with Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with CS4202 [16:53] Qwell: yes the pause is only the first time you press shift... what are you trying to prove ? [16:53] I did not change any settings; sound periodically stops working [16:53] are there official cd-labels for lightscribe anywhere? [16:54] I turned up the volume for everything and tried ALSA and OSS [16:54] yusuf141: lspci won't tell you what driver you are using [16:54] erUSUL: that something changed between 8.10 and 9.04. modifiers (I thought all, but I am willing to accept that shift doesn't count) used to stop repeats - even if briefly === m3taindex is now known as indexum [16:54] mion , how do i know that ? [16:54] no one can help me with vlc? [16:54] sa [16:55] contrived example: hold F4, press alt. [16:55] boobsbr: Ubuntu would, by default, usually use these files / directories I pointed you at to run something on startup. But I'm not sure if you have even rebooted in the meantime? [16:55] ok, googled, I see /dev/sda6 /home nodev/nosuid 0 2 [16:55] That absolutely did not used to close a window. It would be absurd to assume it might. [16:55] don't know why nodev,nosuid 0 2, but I'll try that [16:55] yusuf141: your xorg.conf will show you that [16:55] and if you don't have one, the xorg log will [16:56] will I have to reboot to get it mounted properly? or will logging out of X and back in implement the new /etc/fstab? [16:56] mion , oh good i'm gonna to see (: [16:56] tonytraductor: umount the partion and mount -a [16:56] mount one device to mountpoint and driver module loaded, when umount , how to unload the module at the same time? [16:56] hello, I'm trying to use Ubuntu 8.04 with the Jaunty kernel (.2.6.28)... I installed the Jaunty kernel packages, rebooted, and voila - I'm on 2.8.28 (gotta love linux for that capability). However, I'm having network issues. Network Manager detects my NIC, but never gets an ip assigned to it. If I manually do "sudo dhclient eth2" I can see that a successful lease is found, but then "ifconfig" doesn't display anything [16:56] abama: you have to do that explicitly [16:56] Radtoo: I usually look for startup scripts in /etc/init.d. and no, I haven't rebooted since the installation, do you think it would help? [16:57] Mion, what should i do that explicitly? [16:57] mion , do i have pastebin it ?? [16:57] boobsbr: It is entirely possible that apt just started a glassfish server with a domain for you, once, and that this default domain doesn't get started automatically the next time anyways. [16:57] tonytraductor: sudo mount -a will check /etc/fstab and mount things that are not mounted. [16:58] Radtoo, thanks for you support, i will try to reboot [16:58] /join #ubuntu-es [16:58] it says /dev/sda6 already mounted or /home busy [16:58] rebooting [16:59] Mion, i have one question about the load/unload module for usb device [16:59] mion , here it's http://pastebin.com/m14d0cece [16:59] NICK [16:59] mweichert: try disabling n-m and do everything manually, it's a last resort but there have been cases where n-m have borked and interfered with manual setup, just a shot. [17:00] abama: just let udev load the module you need for you, and don't bother with unloading it (unless it breaks something) [17:00] mion , where are you ?? [17:00] uhoh...some error with e2fsck, trouble mounting /dev/sda6 [17:00] when the module is loaded but not in use, the only thing it does is to take up a few kb of ram [17:01] Mion // i've opened the XORG.conf ,now what ?? [17:01] yusuf141: my tip is to just give up on compiz with that card. [17:01] the drivers are less than good, and the card is slow [17:01] tonytraductor: I dont see a fullduplex button [17:02] tonytraductor: you running fsck from a drive and on that drive? [17:02] okay, for some reason, it is mounting /dev/sda6, but not as /home, and thus, not using the configuration I gave to /etc/fstab, or something [17:02] I'm not fscking at the moment, no [17:02] Mion, my problem is just how to unload module when umount one device [17:02] mion , ok thank you ,., [17:02] abama: you can't do that automagically without a lot of hacking [17:02] tonytraductor: Ah, misunderstod. [17:03] how do I "ls" a directory tree with a tree-like output? [17:03] abama: and there really isn't a reason to do it either, unless the module conflicts with something else you want to use [17:03] amgarching: tree [17:03] I put "/dev/sda6 /home ext2 nodev,nosuid 0 2" in /etc/fstab, but it is not mounting /dev/sda6 as/home [17:03] tonytraductor: sure it is ext2 [17:03] Mion, one requirment needs to do that [17:03] amgarching: ls -l ? [17:03] !find tree [17:03] Found: device-tree-compiler, konqueror-plugin-domtreeviewer, libhtml-tree-perl, python2.5, python2.6 (and 38 others) [17:03] Can anyone help me get audacity to record mic? I can hear my mic quite loudly but cannot record [17:03] I recall a tree command.. or somthing like that. [17:04] it was before I did this install [17:04] how do I check that? [17:04] fdisk -l doesn't tell me [17:04] ienorand, thanks, I'll try that. [17:04] !info tree [17:04] tree (source: tree): displays directory tree, in color. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.2.1-1 (jaunty), package size 29 kB, installed size 96 kB [17:04] abama: you could hack in some udev stuff to automaticly rmmod the module, but it will be ugly, just rmmod it yourself explicitly, if you absolutly have to [17:04] any idea how to make linux reset all device nodes? I only have two nics and they are detected as eth2 and eth3... I'm not sure why not eth0 and eth1 [17:04] abama: what module is it btw?

Is that true? [17:06] no === JFo-mtg is now known as JFo [17:06] Lint01, baobab [17:06] could the existence thereof be why I am getting "/dev/sda6 is already mounted or /home busy"?

When I click on it I get a warning that "not all updated can be installed" and a button for "partial upgrade". When I click that I get prompted for a pw and nothing happens. What do I do?

[17:09] ELoXL: its not very good that The site you listed suggests using envy-ng from the start. :) its best to use the repo versions of drivers instead If they work. [17:09] tonytraductor: man mount, or telinit 1 and then umount /dev/sda6 [17:09] i installed the driver but some time printer garbaz [17:10] ELoXL: at least they make a note to try envy-gtk last.. but the note should be at teh 'start' of the 'use envy-gtk' paragraph heh.. :) [17:10] Mion, /dev/sr1 on /media/DTM5731 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,uid=0) [17:10] hi, under ubuntu, any tools make ePub books?

[17:12] any one suggest me good site for printer problem [17:12] ELoXL: ubuntu-studio just has some different default pacages i think.. it might be using a different kernel.. but im not sure on that.

[17:14] tonytraductor: so the line "gvfs-fuse-daemon /home/tony/.gvfs fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon rw,nosuid,nodev,user=tony 0 0" seems to imply that you have still something mounted on home. [17:15] I've been looking for an answer and have come across nothing. I've run some apps that have utilized my camcorder, but no luck with skype to set up such a connection. [17:15] yeah, home busy, but I don't know why... [17:15] it's not mounting the separate partition as /home [17:15] tonytraductor: I'm not sure if you'd just use "umount /home/tony" to fix it... [17:16] so the /home that exists is that on / [17:16] let me try that [17:16] tonytraductor: are you logged in as the user tony atm? [17:17] Hi all.

[17:18] hello I have a fresh install of Jaunty/Ubuntu For some reason there is a missing icons tab in the appearances preferences. (sorry if this is a faq) [17:18] tonytraductor: Since I'm not sure if you can unmount the home of an operating user, maybe would have to go into recovery (root console) to do that... I'm not sure though, anyone else have ideas on that? === Brunera is now known as Bruners [17:18] tonytraductor: yea, thats true, seems like it should...

[17:42] Bodsda: Hmm theres a ntfs-3g command i recall. :) [17:42] no ntfs-3g mounts it fine [17:42] hello guys, 1. ubuntu with desktop effects likes to hang when you press notebook keys such as volume up/down, 2. network manager fails to reconnect (you must enter password again and press connect) [17:42] Dr_Willis: Is it any way to mount the ntfs partition anyways? [17:42] ok i'll see now [17:42] are you aware of the issues? [17:42] Usage: ntfs-3g [-o option[,...]] [17:43] Dr_Willis: oh, my bad,never new that did the same as mount -t ntfs-3g [17:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/164995/ this nothing [17:43] howdy [17:43] hi all. how can I perform graphically things like create folder, links when I need to be root? [17:43] perhaps part of my problem is that I need the .dmrc and .ICEauthority from the /home/tony on / to be in the partition I'm trying to mount as /home, maybe? [17:43] ...this is, why does ldd `which svn` look for libdb4.3 when `aptitude show subversion` lists libdb4.6? [17:43] i am on xubuntu and i am searching a fast usable webbrowser that does not eat up that much ram as firefox does [17:43] Shadow_Sam: learn to do it on the command line [17:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/164995/ [17:43] opera is not avail for xubuntu 9.04 as it seems [17:43] tidalcreek: perhaps you should try harder next time :) [17:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/164995/ [17:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/164995/ [17:43] tidalcreek: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:44] ntfs-3g command has a 'force' option [17:44] Shadow_Sam: You don't have to be root to create directories withing your own home directory. [17:44] !repeat | tidalcreek [17:44] tidalcreek: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [17:44] Weedy: I do already. I just know if has this option [17:44] Shadow_Sam: sudo if you still refuse [17:44] !gksudo [17:44] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [17:44] I am running Jaunty on my main PC an every time I try to save a bookmark in firefox, after closing firefox and reopening it later all my saved book marks are gone, help? [17:44] ah [17:44] oipat: but like folder like apache, that I have to set config files [17:45] anyway [17:45] my problem isn't that i can't mount my windows partition [17:45] what unmountu means? [17:46] it's that i can't expect the people who will actually USE this pc to use the command line to mount it [17:46] I am running Jaunty on my main PC an every time I try to save a bookmark in firefox, after closing firefox and reopening it later all my saved book marks are gone, help? [17:46] I wish nautilus would show the file path [17:46] smtx: read instructions to add the opera repo on http://deb.opera.com/ and it will be [17:46] what does unmount means? [17:46] ubuntistas: un mount [17:46] like obviously [17:46] Weedy: if you set it up right - they wont have to. for internal drives you can put a proper entry in thefstab.. HOWEVER if they fail to shutdown windows properly the drives will get ignoired for data safty reasons.. dont use windows hibernate/suspend [17:47] what? [17:47] how can i downgrade to 8.04, short of installing from cd? [17:47] Weedy: there is an ntfs configuration tool in the ubuntu repos that will allow you to setup mounting of your windows partition at boot time. [17:47] lascar: you cant....

HOWEVER if they [17:48] Hi... is there a problem with irc.freenode.net (cant connect to it)... Anyone know how to play OGMs with totem-gstreamer on 9.04? [17:48] what does unmount means? [17:48] fail to shutdown windows properly the drives will get ignoired for data safty reasons.. dont use windows hibernate/suspend <-- tried this but only works for one user [17:48] * lascar nods [17:49] ubuntistas: umount [17:49] chazco: Err, you _are_ connected to irc.freenode.net right now. [17:49] this is driving me nuts [17:49] grawity - Nope, im connected to chat.freenode.net, and that took several attempts [17:49] Weedy: your fstab entry in incorrect then. :) [17:49] iceroot it tells me unmount [17:49] chazco: They are cnames for each other [17:49] I don't understand why it didn't make my /home partition into /home during install, in the first place [17:49] chazco: Well, chat.* points to irc.* [17:49] ubuntistas: man umount [17:49] Has any of you folks ever had: Softreset failed (device not ready) [17:50] Pici / grawity - Thats makes it even more odd that irc.freenode.net wont accept the connection then... [17:50] thanks you two. [17:50] ubuntistas: The umount command detaches the file system(s) mentioned from the file [17:50] hi , how can i know if ubuntu uses sata II mode on my harddrive plz ? [17:50] Dr_Willis: thanks [17:50] ubuntistas: what tells you to unmount? [17:50] oh wait...it looks like /etc/fstab has a line with the UUID of that partition BEFORE the line I added [17:50] let me comment that out and try sudo mount -a again [17:50] an mp3 player and it opens with rhythmbox [17:50] iam newbie [17:50] hickop, dmesg | grep ata [17:51] hi all, still trying to fix broken subversion dependencies from a recent jaunty upgrade [17:51] I am running Jaunty on my main PC an every time I try to save a bookmark in firefox, after closing firefox and reopening it later all my saved book marks are gone, help? [17:51] salut [17:51] neodragon, is it actually installed or are you a live user? [17:51] o/.. what package contains the man pages for eg. strstr? [17:51] how do i resolve the libdb4.3 vs libdb4.6 dependency issue....the binary is expecting libdb4.3.so but that is not available [17:51] AmnesiaUK: that output is confusing for me , as it report 3.0Gb/s and 1.5Gb/s too :/ [17:52] aptitude show subversion lists libdb4.6 [17:52] hickop, your hdd is probably 3.0Gb/s [17:52] AmnesiaUK: It is install. I have used ubuntu for several years an never had bookmarks disappear [17:52] hickop, 1.5 usually are devices like dvd writers and crap [17:52] ok thanks [17:53] neodragon, isn't it related to permissions or something? [17:53] Dr_Willis: this is what i wanted http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=691862 [17:53] it might not be able to write the bookmark file [17:53] an mp3 player and it opens with rhythmbox ienorand [17:54] AmnesiaUK: It could be, brb, I will check the permissions on the .firefox folder [17:54] re [17:54] found the proble [17:55] for some reason i had some binaries in /usr/local/bin [17:55] So apperantly the closed source driver for older ATI cards doesn't work well with xorg 1.6, and I'm stuck with the open source one, which leave me with poor performance. Can I expect ATi to release 1.6 compatible drivers for older cards, or can I just trash the laptop / revert to an older version of xorg? [17:55] ubuntistas: if you quit all applications related to it you should be able to unmount it by right-clicking either on desktop or in fole browser. [17:56] ubuntistas: *file browser [17:56] oipat: ATI doesnt provide newest windows catalyst drivers for older cards either, just windows have longer release cycles :) [17:56] oipat: i doubt if ati will do much for older cards. They might release specs some day.. but lets just say ati's history is not promising in that area [17:56] ati finally did fglrx to support desktop effects [17:57] i don't get it ienorand what's unmount [17:57] unfortunatelly now computer hangs if i press volume up while full screen movie :) [17:57] i'm thinking of disabling desktop effects [17:57] not sure who to blame [17:57] ubuntistas: do you know about that option in windows : safely remove hardware ? [17:57] !mount | ubuntistas [17:57] ubuntistas: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [17:57] miha: i normally disable them anyway. [17:57] Dr_Willis those effects are great [17:57] but buggy [17:57] miha: So newer ATI cards doesn't work well with 1.6 either? [17:57] gartral: not really on the level we want :/ [17:58] miha: theres perhaps 2 that actually are usefull.. rest are just to show off. :P [17:58] pronoy yes [17:58] so? [17:58] okay, it seems that I've successfully gotten it to mount my separate partition as /home, but apparently that /home is missing something essential, which is not allowing me to log in to gnome [17:58] what's mount and what's unmount pronoy [17:58] ubuntistas: unmounting and mounting is like that only [17:58] mount and umount are just unmounting and mounting respectivly [17:58] since I didn't move the install generated home, but tried to use my existing home from the PCLOS install, it's missing something [17:59] I did move the .drmc and .ICEauthority files over [17:59] AmnesiaUK: it says I have full read write permissions for both the firefox folder and the bookmarks.html [17:59] ubuntistas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_(Unix) [17:59] i need help getting my webcam to work with cheese or some other programme for recording from it [17:59] neodragon, I presume you already reinstalled firefox? [18:00] yes [18:00] so pronoy ienorand it tells me to open my device with rythmbox but i don't see my device [18:00] neodragon, btw I'm also new in linux so if it arent permissions, I definitely haven't got a clue:/ [18:00] ubuntistas: ok is that device an mp3 player ? [18:01] ubuntistas: what device DO you have? i had severe issues with my sansa e250 with 9.04 [18:01] yup pronoy === Nakjeido2 is now known as TimothyA [18:01] ubuntistas: when you plug it in ..does its icon show on the desktop ? [18:02] i have a zen v plus and according to my pc it's recognizing it but i don't see it pronoy gartal [18:02] is it possible to show the ips of hops that dont reply to icmp or udp packets with traceroute ? [18:02] yup pronoy [18:02] ok then go to rythmbox and import folder [18:03] yes pronoy it's showing me a device icon [18:03] but i don't wanna import it [18:03] i just wanna see my files [18:03] ubuntistas: its just gonna play from there and then you can remove it [18:04] Is there an easy way to downgrade to xorg 1.5 [18:04] ubuntistas: open it in the file browser then... [18:04] ubuntistas: well if that's what you want you can alwasy do what ienorand told you :) [18:05] can i add certain bin files to a group so a bunch of no-admin users can excute them? [18:05] ok guys one more thing [18:05] is wine a pice of trush or are they doing a good job because i think it really sucks? [18:06] sorry, wrong room [18:06] well that went much easier than I could have thought, 8.10 -> 9.04 >.> [18:06] oipat, you should stick with an older ubuntu release with xorg 1.5 === elpargo_ is now known as elpargo [18:07] Could anyone help me with: http://paste.ubuntu.com/164962/ [18:07] ubuntistas: They are doing a great job, but what they are trying to accomplish is very tricky, hence sucess is limited. [18:07] ubuntistas: wine is good....best in what's available [18:08] Has anyone ever experienced: ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) [18:08] ? [18:08] okeyy!!! because when i open a program like totem or picasa my screen is like broken [18:09] AmnesiaUK: your sure the ide / sata ribbon is good? [18:09] Other than dpk --configure -a is there anyway to check if anything is broken after a jaunty upgrade? [18:09] tecky, Yep I'm running it now:) [18:09] AmnesiaUK, do you have any drawbacks? [18:09] AmnesiaUK: does this cause you any trouble? [18:09] i need help getting my webcam to work with cheese or some other programme for recording from it [18:09] hbekel, well it boots fine after the message [18:09] AmnesiaUK: then you can probably ignore that [18:09] AmnesiaUK, ata1: failed due to HW bug [18:09] i am getting #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured) when i log into phpmyadmin.. halp? [18:10] uhu [18:10] ata2 is your cdrom, have you tried a different cdrom? [18:10] its a laptop [18:10] well then :P === maximo is now known as Maximo [18:10] :) [18:10] AmnesiaUK, blame your laptop/chipset maker then [18:11] nanomad, what doe the hw bug mean? [18:11] does* [18:11] how can i install gnomad 2 tar.gz file it's tricky [18:11] AmnesiaUK, that is hw related and that the kernel knows about it [18:11] ? [18:12] mkay [18:12] ubuntistas, whats wrong with ubuntu's gnomad2? [18:12] ubuntistas, you would be compiling that. why dont you use the one in repo [18:12] nanomad, but it wouldn't mean there are any problems due to it? [18:12] AmnesiaUK, you could try to update the bios [18:12] Printing broken since jaunty upgrade. Communication device error. Any ideas what to check? [18:12] AmnesiaUK: sounds to me that your devices/ata chipset don't support soft reset... doesn't seem fatal, obviously [18:12] I see [18:13] and could that also make it impossible to boot ubuntu from an usb stick? [18:13] hi, anyone tell me how to disable laptop touchpad? I have enabled SHMconfig, and installed gsynaptics, but still says SHMConfig not on [18:13] since that also doesn't work, it ends up with (initramfs)_ [18:13] clarezoe, how did you enable SHMConfig? [18:13] AmnesiaUK, dont think so [18:14] AmnesiaUK, what kind of laptop is that? [18:14] nanomad, Samsung R505 [18:14] nanomad, I add Option "SHMConfig" "on" in xorg.conf [18:14] nanomad, the usb stick boots fine with my old laptop [18:14] clarezoe, are you running jaunty? [18:14] nanomad, yes, xubuntu jaunty [18:14] AmnesiaUK, i see. I cant help you :( [18:15] clarezoe, whats the content of /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [18:15] nanomad, mkay [18:15] I have a server running 7.04 and I want to upgrade to 8.04 LTS. What's the safest way to do this? It's a production server, so I want to avoid a fresh install. [18:16] could anyone help me figure out why i cant detect blank media in my cd/dvd-rom drive, I can read other disks fine but when i go to burn a disk I get a message saying the media is not blank [18:16] rhombus: upgrade to 7.10 and then to 8.04 [18:16] nanomad, http://paste.ubuntu.com/165014/ here is my xorg.conf [18:16] rhombus, remember to try this before doing that on the prod server (using a spare machine) [18:16] yash: yeah, but 7.10 is EOLed also -- is this still the best way? [18:17] rhombus, still the safest [18:17] dcom: Not that I know of, but you could try doing a TCP traceroute with hping [18:17] nanomad: So, install 7.04 on a fresh machine, upgrade to 7.10, then upgrade to 8.04? [18:17] rhombus: yes [18:17] rhombus, i mean...clone your production server drive, and test that before [18:17] gnomad in jaunty doesn't work [18:18] nanomad: ah, I see [18:18] ubuntistas, what does not work [18:18] that's why arvind_khadri [18:18] clarezoe, try this: http://getctrlback.blogspot.com/2008/12/proper-way-to-turn-on-shmconfig-in-x.html [18:18] it says that it doesn not open usb box something like that === michael_ is now known as Araneidae [18:18] ubuntistas, can you copy/paste the error message here? [18:19] i need help getting my webcam to work with cheese or some other programme for recording from it [18:19] hi [18:19] ubuntistas: even better, use a pastebin [18:19] ubuntistas: if it's more than 3 lines [18:19] okay, what's the command to logout of fluxbox? [18:19] yuo [18:19] !pastebin | ubuntistas [18:19] ubuntistas: 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) [18:19] tonytraductor: you should have an entry in the menu to do it [18:19] yowshi: from my experience.. either a webcam works.. or is totally unsupported in linux. [18:19] I had fluxboxlogout.sh in my former fluxbox menu (from PCLOS) but apparently that doesn't exist in ubuntu [18:19] part #ubuntu [18:19] !wecam | yowshi [18:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about wecam [18:19] what do I need to restart when one of my keyboard shortcuts in gnome stops responding/working?

[18:22] nanomad: wow it gets and iomagew [18:22] Dr_Willis: cheese wanted sudo priviledges [18:22] yowshi: http://ubuntutip.googlepages.com/thefirstthingstodo they got some info that was similer to that error for usb devices [18:23] yowshi: the site mentions a simile rproblem with scanners. [18:23] ubuntistas, well, it dependes on what version of libmpt gnomad2 is linked to. You should fill a bug (if the zen v is even supported by gnomad2) [18:23] how do i activate the 2D effects in ubuntu 9.04 // using S3 prosavage graphics card ??? [18:23] yusuf14, i'm not so sure you can [18:23] zen v plus player and it does not work with jaunty now but i t recognizes it in rhythmbox and it's showing me the icon in desktop but i wanna use gnomad nanomad [18:23] nanomad: Dr_Willis well it getas an image with sudo but crashed when i tried recording. i had to kill it :( [18:23] yowshi: check that URL under 'part 9' [18:24] nanomad . why .. just the 2D effects ... [18:24] hi, i used to use kde, now i use gnome, but i still have the kubuntu loading logo at startup, is there a way to change that? [18:24] yusuf14, you mean compiz? [18:24] not compiz or something like thst [18:24] nooooo [18:24] jals: thats called the usplash image [18:24] i just wanna the 2D effects [18:24] yusuf14 ah [18:24] cheers pronoy_ i'll google [18:24] Dr_Willis: is there a command line function for this it isnt asking me for a password but it is saying i dont have access to do that [18:24] yes [18:25] How do i search for installed programs in ubuntu? I have installed vmware workstation but don't know how to start it [18:25] yusuf14, the splash screen? [18:25] it's called . "desktop effects " [18:25] yusuf14, so, it is compiz [18:25] really . i didn't know .. [18:25] skippy_: in synaptic search for vmware again. i think there is a files tab at the bottom that will show installed files [18:26] yusuf14, what does xdriinfo says in a terminal? [18:26] I'm using an apt-get repository from my university, but I'm getting "gpg error: .... jaunty release, the following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available" when doing apt-get update. How to solve this? [18:26] aspidites: i installed it from a .rpm/.deb file, it doesnt exist in synaptic [18:26] nanmad [18:26] is there a command to show what files a particular package will install? [18:26] and i need to know the command to start it, "vmware-workstation" doesn't work [18:26] nanomad ,Screen 0: savage [18:27] krphop, after a package is installaed, you can use dpkg -L pkgname [18:27] krphop: If its not installed you'd need to install apt-file first (then sudo apt-file update), then you can do apt-file show packagename [18:27] skippy_: ah. i think vmware executable is caps. so ls /usr/bin/VM* might find it [18:27] skippy_: don't have ubuntu so i don't know the command to query installed packages. [18:27] thiagoss: you need to get your universities gpg key and install that first [18:27] Why is there no 'man watchdog'? My Ubuntu 8.10 shows a process which has been issued by the 'watchdog/0' command. [18:27] How do I make a directory accessible to all users? [18:27] skippy_: also, i thought synaptic tracked all installed debs, not just ones existing in the repo [18:28] nanomad , this is the output Screen 0: savage [18:28] [18:28] yusuf14, what happens if you enable desktop effects [18:28] hi there ......I have a problem ///// I try to install Ubuntu on a Second drive ....hdb ..this second drive is also de boot drive, having winxp on it...where I should install de bootloader ? grub ? [18:28] skippy_: in other words, while you can't install from synaptic by default, because it is now installed, synaptic should pick it up [18:28] nanomad , could not enable desktop effects [18:28] calrik: how to do that? [18:28] skippy_: at least, that's how my package manager works (pacman) [18:28] ghindo: Use the chmod command. [18:28] aspidites: searched for it and the only one i found was "xserver-xorg-video-vmware" but i dont think its that [18:29] bullgard4: Like, chmod 777 /directory? [18:29] can't find teacup in synaptic [18:29] yusuf14, type compiz --replace in a terminal [18:29] skippy_: did you try the ls idea? ls "/usr/bin/VM*" [18:29] ghindo: Yes. But this is not always advisable for security reasons. [18:29] calrik: all the repositories download fine, only 'stable/main' complais about it. Is this ok? [18:29] should be part of tcl [18:30] is it possible to change the encryption key for my home directory? [18:30] ubuntistas, gnomad2 only supports Creative Nomad Jukeboxes AFAIK [18:30] nanomad . then what ?? [18:30] When installing ubuntu, is it possible to put the swap partition before ubuntu's partition, or must it always follow? [18:30] yusuf14, did dekstop effect start? [18:30] ghindo: An alternative is using Nautilus. [18:30] mattgyver[L], it doesn't matter. if you do the partitioning manually, you can have it anyway you want [18:30] mattgyver[L]: I don't think the order actually matters... [18:30] mattgyver[L]: you can put it anywhere. you could put it on a nother hard drive ifyou wanted [18:30] aspidites: yes, didnt find it there.. the strange thing is I tried apt-get remove vmware-workstation and that worked, but i cant start it with just the "vmware-workstation" [18:30] Thank you [18:30] bullgard4: I'm trying to do it over an ssh session [18:30] why is not the root user allowed to log into the gui [18:30] mattgyver[L], you can even have several swaps across several hard drives [18:31] nanomad . no it's not [18:31] I want to display in a markup label any text an user can write, so I used g_markup_escape_text() to be sure it don't mess with markup formating. It works great for a-z chars, but if I send in a special char like "À" it crash. Displaying À in the label without markup escaping works fine. Tried to find solution in Google, but all I can find is bug reports.. anyone have a better solution? [18:31] mattgyver[L]: or no swap at all. :) [18:31] yowshi, because there is no root user in ubuntu ;) [18:31] mattgyver[L], but the swap partition should never be used, you *should* have enough ram that you never need it ;) [18:31] thiagoss: system > administration > software sources > authentication > import key file... [18:31] 'direct logging in as root is disabled' theres still a 'root' account. [18:31] nanomad: there is a root password though [18:31] calrik: thanks! [18:31] yowshi, no [18:31] yowshi, sudo asks for the user password (not root one) [18:32] skippy_: yeah. i'm sure they name their executable differently. give me just a sec [18:32] yowshi, even if you enabled root, you can't log into X with root [18:32] how do you determine how large your swap partition should be? In the even that you want, or need it. [18:32] yusuf14, paste the output of compiz --replace into a pastebin [18:32] nanomad , ok [18:32] hi there ......I have a problem ///// I try to install Ubuntu on a Second drive ....hdb ..this second drive is also de boot drive, having winxp on it...where I should install de bootloader ? grub ? [18:32] mattgyver[L]: i always make one about 512mb in size.. just in case. :) i rarely use it on my 2gb ram systems. [18:32] yowshi, the security problems that come with logging into the gui with root are waay to bad [18:32] ok [18:32] does anyone know anything about vegastrike? [18:32] rdw200169: yeah but it also hidners experienced users from using the gui to wsolve problems [18:33] parapanghelescu: put grub on the first hd if you want to use it. or if you put it on the 2nd hd.. you may have to use the bios menus/features to tell the pc to boot that 2ndhard drive [18:33] how do i allow www-data user to access programs in the /etc/bin [18:33] parapanghelescu, on the boot sector of the boot drive [18:33] yowshi, an experienced user would *never* do that ;) [18:33] rdw200169: i had to run the users-admin command from a super user terminal [18:33] skippy_: see if the command you need is here : http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-search.en.html [18:33] nanomad , here it is ==> http://pastebin.com/m6da8f3b6 [18:33] rdw200169: ok quasi experienced [18:33] hy there, after the todays update, my hsdpa device is no more listed in networkmanager [18:33] zealiod: I thought www-data could run etc/bin already [18:33] yusuf14, your video card is not supported in compiz [18:33] zealiod: clarify to the channel what you are trying to acomplish. there is no /etc/bin and why would tha tuser need to access any binary? [18:34] yusuf14, so no dekstop effects [18:34] It also doesn't realizes the external monitor connected to my notebook [18:34] zealiod: opps I'm wrong /usr/bin [18:34] zealiod: unless theres some other confusion going on.. :) [18:34] Iowahc, the monitor issue is *not* related to NetworkManager [18:34] :-( , ok , so you mean i've to remove ubuntu from my pc ??

[18:35] What is the purpose of this channel [18:35] skippy_: found it. the command you need is "dpkg -L " [18:35] Dunge: I'm not sure that Ubuntu is a good channel to ask that question in.

I think it has something to do with hard drive requests taking a long time (45 sec or so). Is there a log file I can look at to try and find the problem?

[18:36] clearscreen, your are welcome [18:36] aspidites: ah.. yes i can see where its installed now, thanks :) [18:36] zealiod: so you would have to setup sudo to handle that [18:36] parapanghelescu: if the 2nd drive is set to boot.. then it should be showing up as the first hard drive is how ive seen it happen. [18:36] m0RrE: man cryptsetup [18:36] clarezoe: are usb modules loading correctly at boot? [18:36] parapanghelescu, that seriously depends on your BIOS and what its reporting to grub... if that has *always* been your boot drive, chances are, its hd0... if you use grub-install, you can specify the /dev/sd* nomenclature instead, which is a little more reliable than the vagueness of grub hd0, hd1 naming from the device map... [18:36] joeyy: This is a support channel, not a discussion channel. [18:36] yusuf14, i think so [18:36] icarus-c: aight! [18:36] is the compiz works ??

[18:50] nanomad: was loooking for the Epson NX400 all in one, so I could get the scanner to work... printer works fine. [18:50] mattgyver[L]: its to overcome old limittions in hard drive tech over the years. :) [18:50] mattgyver[L], 4 primary per drive, logical gives you the ablility to have extended partitions like Dr_Willis says [18:50] Dracofodder, where did you got that driver? [18:50] xcitu: what does ifconfig yield? [18:50] yes pronoy [18:51] ubuntistas: so now you are in that folder ...ok ? [18:51] I will check. [18:51] mattgyver[L]: i find life is MUCH easier if just stick to 4 primaries tops. [18:51] ubuntistas: you can now issue this command : ./configure [18:51] mattgyver[L]: plus i rarely need more then 4 parittions [18:51] xcitu: if it's wireless, also check the output of iwconfig === pronoy_ is now known as pronoy [18:51] nanomad: http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL2.do [18:51] pronoy_, you should enable libmpt and other things in that configure AFAIK [18:51] hi [18:51] * tj83 agrees with Dr_Willis unless you milti-boot as i do, Vista, XP, Fedora, Ubuntu, and storage area lol [18:51] hmmm cheese crashed and now apparebntly nothing else can use /dev/video0 [18:51] xcitu: more than likely though if you can connect to the router but not internet, you should double check your router settings [18:51] nanomad: if there is a dependency issue it will show by not compiling [18:52] pronoy, not with libmtp since it is optional [18:52] sorry to leave you all hanging, but i gotta go === Graever is now known as Griver [18:52] nanomad: not sure i get you [18:52] pronoy it's saying me errors 2 packages not found gtk 2 and libnjib [18:52] Dracofodder: thanks for the link; the source fails to build [18:52] Dracofodder: oops, wrong nick [18:52] Dr_Willis: thanks for the link; the source fails to build [18:53] Dracofodder: but a nice evening to you anyways :) [18:53] pronoy, libmtp is an optional component of gnomad2 (it will work event if not installed), but if it is not found, the zen v wont work [18:53] how to i make stuff that i download go to /download in ubuntu? [18:53] Dr_Willis: is !tvout what you're doing yourself [18:53] I'll soon find out [18:53] jonaskoelker, i dont know your issue, but i assume you installed build-essential [18:53] ubuntistas: ok so now this thing is dependent on gtk2 and libnjib ok ? therefore you need to install these two first......so you can that by searching for that package on the net or using apt-get [18:53] Dracofodder, doesent xsane see your scanner (I'm trying to decipher that page now) [18:53] Is there a way I can map control + L:eft Arrow key to the Home key?

[18:55] when I have a samba share with "guest only = yes", I cannot connect to it from a Windows computer that is joined to a domain... any other client is fine [18:55] I think I'm going to reinstall, wipe the /home partition, and then restore my files from backup, maybe that will work [18:55] pronoy, gnomad2, but he says it does not work [18:55] bleh [18:55] nanomad: is this thing in the repo [18:55] How do I make tvout (s-video) work on a firegl v3200?

(kubuntu btw) [19:36] KomiaPoika: (that's a WM on the minimalist end, but believe it or not, its workable for some people). The question is, what do you like? If its a windows-like wm, perhaps xfce4 is good? [19:36] btw if anyone experiences problems with connecting to freenode from irssi or chatzilla tell him/her to use chat.freenode.net instead of irc.ubuntu.com or irc.freenode.net [19:36] works perfect on my box of course [19:37] not one issue since the native 64bit plugin dropped [19:37] jonny100: please do notpm me [19:37] firefox never crashes anymore [19:37] darthanubis: Oh really?

Together [20:03] ubuntistas: if you just need the partner repo i found it [20:03] ubuntistas: nope [20:03] lets put our jaunty jackolopes together [20:03] i dont know why anyone uses linux mint. llinux mint is the crappy, unreliable slow version of ubuntu [20:04] http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20090430-tows-kfc-coupon-download [20:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/165077/ shadeslayer [20:04] EVERYONE click that and lets figure out how to do it in ubuntu [20:04] FUbbyCD: heh [20:04] Exoide: I see that ubuntu includes the ucblogo package [20:04] It seems amarok isnt going through pulse audio, so the only way i can use it is if I allow it to monopolize the sound card. Is there a way I can make it use pulse? (9.04) [20:04] this is so much more stable than mint, and the only "convenience" of mint is they preinstall restricted modules by default [20:04] shadeslayer what you didn't understand man [20:04] all_is_fair: Most likely some update to the kernel broke your wifi then.

[20:08] how do i uninstall ubuntu from my pc and then put the partition back onto my windows? [20:08] If I upgrade 8.10 -> 9.04 through Synaptic, will it remember my drivers for wireless and graphics, or reset to defaults? Wireless is always a pain with a new install. [20:09] my dad just got a free grilled chicken meal on the way home [20:09] Hmm.. whats the pacakge name for beep media player.. I thought it was bmpx [20:09] ubuntistas: i know i told you to replace it with deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty universe [20:09] deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates universe [20:09] Can I run a home based web server from ubuntu9.04? [20:09] opps [20:09] wait [20:09] shadeslayer_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:09] its legit i know it sounds sketchy [20:09] I want to do a fresh install, but how would I keep my /home folder [20:09] shadeslayer i told you pronoy sent me false sources how can i delete the old one i sent that's what iam telling you [20:09] nevertheless you can install ie on linux with ie4linux [20:09] but shoot if you can install it in wine or something whats the worry [20:09] ubuntistas: gksu gedit etc/apt/menu.list [20:09] its on a seperate partition [20:09] ubuntistas: make that sources.list [20:09] mib_da2coq32: yes [20:09] how do i uninstall ubuntu from my pc and then put the partition back onto my windows? [20:10] FUbbyCD: Why is this relevant here, exactly? [20:10] they say its so you can only print 4 per computer because it makes a barcode thing [20:10] because you can not do it on ubuntu [20:10] mib_da2coq32: in fact it's a much better option than using windows [20:10] Anyone else seeing USB keyboard problems on 9.04? I have an intermittent problem where typing a key does nothing. Plugging the same keyboard into my wife's Windows box, it works fine... and this is on a laptop; the built-in keyboard works fine. Was going to try one of the other kernels available in the repo. Any other suggestions? Note, I have the same problem with both the text consoles and X... [20:10] an im sure theres a way around it [20:10] kegster: format the linux partition then install the windows boot loader [20:10] the exe installs a firefox plugin [20:10] Lenin_Cat: Do manual partitioning, make sure you do NOT format the /home partition. Use the same username and it'll assume ownership of all the files too [20:10] FUbbyCD: Virtualization's a powerful thing. [20:10] ok shadeslayer next? [20:10] grrr cheese crashed again. is there any way to ikill it completly and open up the /dev/video0 again? [20:10] ubuntistas: refer to this http://paste.ubuntu.com/165071/ [20:11] shadeslayer_: how do u install the windows boot loader? [20:11] kegster: ask in ##windows [20:11] yowshi: typically killall -9 cheese [20:11] anyone know about web servers on 9.04? [20:11] !windows | kegster [20:11] kegster: For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [20:11] hateball, I always do manual, and thats what I thought I had to do, just wanted to be sure. [20:11] http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20090430-tows-kfc-coupon-download last time im going to post it I promise .. what do you guys think about it [20:11] Hmm.. someone in here yesterday couldent figure out how to enable the 'theme sounds' in gnome.. I found a checkbox under the 'volume control' applet that does it. :) i wonder if he ever figured it out. [20:11] hateball, im not a nob, I know most of the stuff on linux [20:11] :) [20:11] Lenin_Cat: Ok, well there's not more to it :) [20:11] shadeslayer_: windows bootloaded won't install on its own, it took the gub disc for mine to work [20:11] hateball, thanks though [20:11] :P [20:11] bootloader* [20:11] Saiki: it did for me ;) [20:11] hateball, oh yah, how do I setup a software raid [20:12] bonsoir, pouvez vous me passer le lien de ubuntu.fr [20:12] shadeslayer what's that? [20:12] Saiki: its something like bootrec in vista and fixmbr in XP [20:12] doleyb: well that gets rid of the cheese window but not the process in the ps -A list [20:12] !raid | Lenin_Cat [20:12] Lenin_Cat: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:12] ubuntistas: ping [20:12] you can do it on mac osx.. it isnt fair they always leave out linux [20:12] shadeslayer_: on OEMs it refuses to work, tried it before lol [20:12] Hi guys [20:12] doleyb: 2786 pts/0 00:00:04 cheese [20:12] Lenin_Cat: I havent set up raid, I only use hardware raid + LVM [20:13] I have a question .. Is it safe to have /home on NTFS partition?? [20:13] shadeslayer ping? [20:13] Saiki: funny thing it was OEM install i was talking about.XP or vista ? [20:13] hateball, what is better software raid and LVM [20:13] also hateball what is the benefit of a hardware raid [20:13] shadeslayer_: vista [20:13] besides the braging [20:13] Guess no one knows in here:(( [20:13] ah crap is it because Im running ubuntu 64 that I cant get flash runtime to work? [20:13] !lamp | mib_da2coq32 [20:13] mib_da2coq32: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [20:13] imp0steur: it wont automount if you have it mounted in windows and crash windows [20:13] hy there. since todays updates my external monitor isn't working anymore [20:13] Saiki: just before the install dialouge there is a option for recovery in the bottom left corner. [20:14] mib_da2coq32: see my response earlier [20:14] also, I used radeonhd driver before, but now all I get is a black screen [20:14] shadeslayer_: mine showed no installs lol [20:14] Lenin_Cat: Well hardware raid is dedicated hardware for the task... and I'm just used to it that way. LVM is nice for resizing pools and so, when you need to add space quick and easy [20:14] shadeslayer [20:14] Saiki: what?? i mean when you boot from a recovery disc [20:14] anybody ?? Is it safe to have move /home to NTFS partition?? [20:14] Lenin_Cat: those are two compeltly different hard drive setups far as i know. LVM binds multiple hard drives together as one volume as i understand it and raid sets up multiple partitions/hard drives to act as a single hard drive one backing up the others if i recall correctly [20:15] also hateball what is the benefit of a hardware raid <- doesn't rely on software :P which means better compatibility/more likely to work better with linux [20:15] shadeslayer_: exactly what I mean [20:15] ubuntistas: yes? [20:16] shadeslayer what can i do man sources are a mess [20:16] ? [20:16] th0r : Thank you ! Your help is much appreciated ! I am working with the IT guys. [20:16] ubuntistas: i told you to look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/165071/ [20:16] ubuntistas: leave out the ones at the very bottom [20:16] shadeslayer is that you r list [20:16] then? [20:16] imp0steur, I wouldn't suggest doing that .. some programs could behave funny because they need the right unix permissions and ownership on files in your home dir [20:16] would any one in here have any idea on or how to edit the boot manager and is there a graphical interface?

[20:48] kdub1: thank you. usage info? seems not to be in the man pages as apt-file. [20:48] if i create an .sh file to install something on a computer, and then copy that command to an other computer, will it run all the same without differencies? [20:48] I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron and would like to know where is the menu config file. I use GNOME. Everytime I want to modify the menu I use alacarte but don't know where is the menu file [20:48] hbekel, yea, I've done that - but when I add new ones, I want to be able to just do it on the laptop. And, later, I'll want to do it so whenever anyone else goes on my LAN - I'll be able to do the same without having the play on their machine. [20:49] mroc, i think you do apt-file update to fill the listings, and apt-file search to use [20:49] kdub1: nevermind...didn't have apt-file installed. makes sense i wouldn't have info on it then. [20:49] cptblood: that's not a given, depends on what's in the .sh file. Many times it will work though [20:49] oohh I wish I would have met you I'd say nice shot!

[20:53] cptblood: if you're installing on a very similar system, then more likely it will work. You have to trust the source, though -- and since it's auto-downloading, trust where it's hosted [20:53] hbekel, what would happen if I turned my laptop off? Would my PC then just look on the internet? [20:53] hey i cant install my graphic card drivers on 9.04 pls help me [20:53] it'd be downloading the XBMC svn [20:53] hbekel, will I need to mess with my router? [20:53] DumDUm: which card?

[20:55] yes shadeslayer [20:55] Idhan: its usually provided by your graphics drivers [20:55] darrenlooby: you could use the laptops ip as the first nameserver in your other lan client's resolv.conf's, and add your router as the second (fallback) nameserver. [20:56] usser: that's bad, I have reinstall all my graphics drivers :p [20:56] DumDUm: what does lspci in a terminal show [20:56] Why does mtop depend on mysql?

[20:57] oh maybe the 5200 is not supported by the 180 drivers [20:57] darrenlooby: so you could have dnsmasqd simply use your router, but also use your special ips from your laptop's /etc/hosts [20:58] acidicbase: hey got a quick question for you [20:58] hbbs, I'll try and see if I can get it working then [20:58] I think the nvidia 5200 uses the other drivers... not the 180 ones.. its an older card [20:58] acidicbase: not you [20:58] hbekel, I'll try and see if I can get it working then [20:58] Dr_Willis: yeah thats what i was thinking [20:58] shadeslayer: i know my Nvidia 5500 does NOT use the same driver as my 8800gtsXXX [20:58] hbekel, do I install it on my PC or on my Laptop? [20:59] Dr_Willis: hmm... === Ehsun_Amanolahi is now known as ese [20:59] darrenlooby: whichever you want to use as the local dns server [20:59] shadeslayer: i learned that the Hard way one day...:) [20:59] hbekel, cool thanks [21:00] Dr_Willis: im just checking out links which lists which cards are supported [21:00] Hey all, let's say I have a script I run, a simple .sh script that brings up my ipv6 tunnel (its just some ifconfig commands) but I want it to automatically run this script after bootup.

But you'll need a cd to boot from [21:02] tobi: use banshee for best support imo [21:02] Dr_Willis: I will check that out, thanks! [21:02] cosa ti serve sapere guest70148 [21:02] tobi: it should work directly when you plug, ubuntu has the program for it [21:02] psychic: rightclick the entry in the menu, choose add to desktop [21:03] hateball thank you [21:03] tobi: you have a few options. 1) install rockbox firmware. i did this and prefer it to the more closed apple firmware. 2) ipod is well supported you can run banshee, gtkpod (only one ive used) etc [21:03] psychic: or drag/drop from menu to desktop [21:03] konflict: look at /etc/rc.local [21:03] hi [21:03] Armageddon, which programm should it be?! My pod not even pops up on my desk. It's just findable in the MEDIA device! [21:03] I was just wondering whether there was a keyboard shortcut in evolution to mark a message as important? [21:04] hateball that didnt work [21:04] nice pepperjack! thx a lot ... rockbox is more iTunes likely?! [21:04] Dr_Willis neither does drag and drop work [21:04] god dammit crashed again with an inpput output error [21:05] tobi: rockbox is a whole new interface. you can basically using rockbox just drag and drop mp3 files to the ipod no need for itunes. but be careful. maybe make sure you have a windows machine with itunes installed to recover from if necessary [21:06] yowshi: watch the language [21:06] yowshi: who/what crashed? [21:06] is there any application to clean trash logs cookies history and those things for ubuntu ?

[21:06] pepperjack, is rockbox better than ipodlinux? I tried that once, but was not able to play anything [21:07] guntbert: this time is was the gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! xvimagesink command. since i cant bloody find any software that wont crash on me i figured i would use this command and gtk record my desktop to record the window and make a video that way [21:07] kane77: more robust. it works well and is pretty slick. the installer these days takes care of the whole thing no real low level work needed. [21:07] is banshee or gtkpod necessary to get the ipod mounted as a device? [21:07] guys is there anyway to download the latest ubuntu updates from the website under another operating system without knowing what update packages i need ? i need them all i just installed the ubuntu amd 64 beta release...

[21:13] pepperjack: how should I go back trying to fix this? [21:13] does anyone know how to get a device out of the cluthces of a zombied process without rebooting? [21:13] I tried to make a live USB from a live CD, but it's not booting. Could it be because it's a sandisk cruzer? [21:14] its ok xangua, your english is still better then a lot i know [21:14] yowshi: I can understand your frustration, sorry that I'm not able to help - good luck anyway / by "freeze" you mean no keys are working? if you have a 2nd computer you might be able to ssh into the frozen one and kill the offending process [21:15] pepperjack: could I figure out what Hardy has in "lsmod" ? and see if it is different in Juanty and Intrepid ? [21:15] <_Kendall78> Where is a good tutorial on setting up wpa_supplicant. In particular the wpa_supplicant.conf. [21:15] how do I upgrade to ext4 [21:15] guntbert: by when a programme freezes i mean when a programme crashes [21:15] guntbert: what happens is when a programme accessing the webcam crashes it locks up the webcam and nothign else can use it [21:15] does anyone know how to get a device out of the cluthces of a zombied process without rebooting? [21:15] BigMoopies: that is an option yeah. are you sure it is a driver issue and not dns or a routing problem?

I'm in windows right now so I couldn't tell you anything about the drivers, except that it's a fresh instal of Ubuntu 9.04/ [21:54] RoosterJuice: rm -r might add a -f to cut down on the "are you sure you want to delete this" [21:54] Slart, Glitsj16: pulseaudio restarted, to no avail [21:54] Any text in an QT-window looks smeared [21:55] Hi!

GDM is shown on both monitors when it launches, but when I log in to my desktop the external monitor is turned of, no matter what I set in the display properties. Anyone got any suggestions?

Looks like ATI has left me in the lurch and the open source driver isn't quite there yet. That sound about right?

[22:10] Hello [22:10] By the way, whoever put the warning into the upgrade is fricken awesome. [22:10] yowshi: Look for the matching module name. Or watch a 'tail -f' of a logfile when you plug the device in. [22:10] q [22:10] olivier_: if you have more than one soundcard you get different options there.. I have three soundcards, one goes to the stereo, one to the headphones and one to the computer speakers..

[22:31] i 'm new around so bear with me for awyle [22:31] pisiq: what you're trying to do is a bit psybnc-specific, I doubt just asking for help with "crypt" is going to get you very far [22:31] command not found [22:31] writes [22:31] kdesudo qtparted [22:31] login [22:31] Error: You are not identified [22:31] ls [22:31] klherg [22:31] erh [22:31] ls [22:31] Darklegion: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:31] hmm [22:31] yo [22:31] whats a really good music player for ubuntu [22:32] ok, thanks mzz. ill try to find out in psybnc [22:32] grub [22:32] yowshi: Or modprobe with whichever modules you actually have loaded on your system for the camera. (And removing a stuck module could lead you into even more trouble. It obviously is not the most stable of modules already.) [22:32] super grub [22:32] grub [22:32] well that was fragging fragged. shystem monitor crashed when i tried to use it to kill cheese [22:32] any help? [22:32] olivier_: ok.. it seems you have two soundcards according to alsa.. I wonder why only one shows up in pulseaudio... strange [22:32] Rob235: i use the default: rhythmbox [22:32] yowshi: please stop messing around [22:32] yowshi: if you want support ask clear sensible questions about ubuntu [22:32] olivier_: the intel one is probably a soundcard built-in on your motherboard. Does that sound correct? [22:33] stroyan: sorry i missed anything you said before. system kind of crashed a bit ikonia i havent been getting much help for this until like today so i have had to trial and error this with no success === ROSHA is now known as RoozbehOnline [22:33] Hello! I've got some minor problems with dmraid. After upgrading from intrepid, no device files are created in /dev/mapper during boottime. what's wrong? === RoozbehOnline is now known as Roozbeh|Away [22:33] yowshi: that doesn't mean talk nonsense in the channel, you'll get better help if you ask clear questions [22:33] Slart: exactly. And it works, except the tv audio part [22:33] !away > Roozbeh|Away [22:33] Roozbeh|Away, please see my private message [22:33] how can I check whether I am using Adobe Flash plugin in firefox browser in ubuntu 9.04 ? I am getting problems in seeing youtube videos [22:33] I'm trying to setup remote desktop, in jaunty, but I keep getting this message: "Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address localhost." [22:33] yowshi: I was just saying that your system might crash. ;-) [22:34] mudassar: "about:plugins" in firefox [22:34] ikonia: that assumes i know what to ask beyond please help me get this working === Xcube is now known as xcube [22:34] yowshi: what's the problem? [22:34] what do i need to do to enable the proprietary nvidia driver from the command line? i want to emulate what happens when i enable it from gnome [22:34] yowshi: Using modprobe -r to remove a module may get a hung process unstuck. But it may also bring the system crashing down when the module messes up more stuff on the way out. [22:34] stupid question: is it possible to upgrade to 64bit from 32bit without reinstalling? [22:34] jerbear: it isnstalls the nvidia-glx pacakge [22:35] tyler-: no [22:35] ikonia: i have a recently bought webcam and every programme which i can use to record locally crashes. and when it crashes it becomes either unkillable like cheese right now or zombiued. in either case it maintains it's hold on /dev/video0 [22:35] mzz === equinoX is now known as alekhine [22:35] there is a command [22:35] ikonia: don't i have to change the xorg.conf somehow? [22:35] echo hello | gpg -ace [22:35] jerbear: no [22:35] ok === alekhine is now known as Gamba [22:35] but it requests a id after, and i dont know what id to do [22:35] yowshi: what webcam is it ? [22:36] ikonia: a flex cam 100 === CamargoBP is now known as CamargoBP|away [22:36] pisiq: are you sure that uses the algorithm psybnc expects you to use? [22:36] yowshi: is that supported at all ? [22:36] !away > CamargoBP|away [22:36] CamargoBP|away, please see my private message [22:36] i think so [22:36] olivier_: I honestly think your best bet is to write a post on the ubuntu-forums.. perhaps someone else has the same card and knows how to make it work.. [22:36] but i worth to give it a try [22:36] ikonia: well when i do a gstreamer-propeties after a rebootr the test input shows the cameras view so yeah kind of [22:36] Anybody know how to set hardware acceleration for frame buffer vesafb using fbset? To list 1233 files in console takes 27s, while in X it's a zippy 0.77s. [22:36] !p2p [22:36] 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 [22:36] Excuse me! [22:36] pisiq: using that is perfectly reasonable if you want to encrypt something so that *you* can later decrypt it, but doesn't necessarily make any sense if you want *psybnc* to decrypt it [22:37] yowshi: how are you trying to kill the process ? [22:37] pisiq: where in psybnc's documentation does it say this is the encryption it uses? [22:37] Is there anyone know w3mimgdisplay? [22:37] gpg it sais [22:37] ikonia: either a kill -9 # or killall -9 cheese [22:37] Slart: I will, hope someone could help... :s [22:37] and it support ascii also [22:37] Thank you anyway ;) [22:38] yowshi: and it just doesn't go / [22:38] about: plugins is showing me File name: libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22, is it the right plugin for firefox in ubuntu for flash to run youtube videos ? if not then how can I change it to adobe flash player ? [22:38] ikonia: nope [22:38] yowshi: that's most odd, I'd log a bug in launchpad.net for that then, it certainly sounds valid [22:38] who use w3m? [22:38] hi all, my computer's randomly shut it self down once last night, and once this evening, unfortunately I've not witnessed it happening, is there anything I can do to diagnose it? [22:38] can i use ntfs as a home partition? [22:38] mzz with gpg command it sais [22:38] what's the command for rsync to exclude a directory? I cant make heads or tails out of man rsync [22:38] You did not specify a user ID. (you may use "-r") [22:38] Current recipients: [22:38] Enter the user ID. End with an empty line: man gpg [22:38] No such user ID. [22:38] Ed54: I don't advise it [22:39] lwfa: check logs [22:39] pisiq: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:39] i want to be able to access files from windows [22:39] ikonia: i have had it in the past where i can turn it into a zombie. but even then it keeps control of the webcam [22:39] what id shall i put ? [22:39] that's what i thought [22:39] lwfa:reboot.... [22:39] I got a quick q. anyone here able to form a good union between ubuntu (evolution suite) and the iphone (jailed)? in terms of syncing contacts, tasks, calandar, emails etc... ????? [22:39] yowshi: log a bug, it sounds worth while [22:39] DasEi: thanks, which logs should I check? [22:39] lwfa: gedit /var/log/syslog [22:39] yowshi: have you tried using v4lcompat? sounds like the solution to your problem [22:39] what's the command for rsync to exclude a directory? I cant make heads or tails out of man rsync [22:39] arrghhh! what is wrong with this thing. I can't get the damn login screen to come up! does anyone have any idea what this could be? [22:39] about: plugins is showing me File name: libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22, is it the right plugin for firefox in ubuntu for flash to run youtube videos ? if not then how can I change it to adobe flash player ? [22:40] pisiq: again, I suspect this will not give you a form of encryption psybnc can decrypt [22:40] hbekel: yes i tried using a preload thing to load it this time around and cheese crashed spectaularily [22:40] eseven73 --exclude [22:40] there are apps that let you access linux partitions from windows, right? [22:40] How we can show image in terminal? [22:40] kartofelek, so --exclude /tmp/ thats it? [22:40] pisiq: feel free to generate a key for yourself so you can encrypt things (the gpg manual covers this) but I would be quite surprised if this did what you wanted [22:40] yowshi: nvm then [22:40] yowshi: Did you ever get to try the LD_PRELOAD after a fresh reboot? It may have been in a bad state from an earlier program. [22:40] pisiq: however I do not know psybnc, I'm just going off skimming its documentation. Consider asking someone who knows psybnc... [22:40] Ed54: yes.. last time I checked they were a bit rough around the edges but ext3/2 support is supposed to be doable [22:40] eseven73 as far as I remember, yes [22:40] stroyan: this was after a fresh reboot [22:41] anyone know if there are issues with remote desktop not starting vino? [22:41] amoblin: using some kind of framebuffer driver [22:41] stroyan: this time around i didnt touch the camera progs until i had a plausable solution [22:41] Slart: but not ext4? i wanted to use that [22:41] kartofelek, ok thank you [22:41] arrghhh! what is wrong with this thing. I can't get the damn login screen to come up! does anyone have any idea what this could be? [22:41] is there a website I can visit to search the ubuntu package database? [22:41] Ed54: I'm not sure about ext4.. you'll have to use the mighty google [22:41] mudassar: yes that's the one you need for youtube ... do you have any other plugins that might conflict with eachother in your list ? [22:41] Slart:what about w3m? [22:41] NetEcho: packages.ubuntu.com [22:41] thanks [22:41] this is probably an obvious question but I cant seem to find the answer. How do I enable four desktops instead of two? [22:41] Slart: alright then [22:42] boringpackets: are you using compiz (the cube) [22:42] yes [22:42] eseven73 no problem [22:42] boringpackets: ok - so you need to set it in the cube settings in ccsm [22:42] amoblin: w3m.. the web browser? what about it? [22:42] ah ok thanks [22:42] Anyone familiar with a good PHP IDE? === Dissident is now known as dissent [22:42] Slart:yes, a web browser in terminal... [22:42] amoblin: install zgv [22:43] Buttons840 vim? [22:43] vader:I want to show inline..like w3m.. [22:43] vader:not a new window... [22:43] vim? is this in repositories? [22:43] amoblin: it will not help you.. you need a driver of some kind.. a framebuffer driver if you ask me.. there might be other ways but that's the one I've heard of [22:43] ikonia: this is why i dont usually get around to filing bug reports. qwuestions i hAve no clue nabout. IE this one what package do i chose? [22:43] i cant find it, are you sure it's not a gnome function? [22:44] amoblin: when you have the driver working you can start using applications that show images [22:44] yowshi: click the "I don't know" option [22:44] I looked at eclipse, but I'm trying to focus on php here, not on how to put a IDE together. [22:44] Slart:I have opened framebuffer.... [22:44] Slart:and I can play video with mplayer in console. [22:44] the last command in syslog before it shut down was a cron job running /usr/sbin/update-motd although this was run several times before that at 10 min intervals without a problem [22:44] Why the heck would flash be dog slow on a 2.8 ghz pentium 4 running 9.04 with 1.5gb of memory. [22:45] the plugins of flash listed in about: plugins are as follows, will they conflict in playing youtube video in ubuntu (firefox) ? how to disable the conflicting one ? [22:45] application/x-shockwave-flash | Shockwave Flash [22:45] application/futuresplash | FutureSplash Player [22:45] ikonia: i dont see an i dont know option [22:45] I installed the RC of 9.04 five days before it was released. Do I have to do an entire distro upgrade or can my RC be updated to the official release through apt-get updates ? [22:45] !final | honkyusa [22:45] honkyusa: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Jaunty. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [22:45] Buttons840: I just use gedit for all my webby stuff [22:45] Buttons840: vim isn't _really_ and IDE. But it is a valid alternative. Have a look at http://realm3.com/articles/getting_started_with_vim_and_php [22:45] voss, probably because of compiz, try metacity --replace [22:45] yowshi: it is there [22:45] Buttons840: you might find bluefish, anjuta or kate helpful [22:45] Buttons840: never used it myself, but anjuta gets nice reviews (also in the repo's) .. i used gedit but have recently migrated to geany [22:45] amoblin: ok, then find an application for showing images using the framebuffer.. zgv was suggested.. synaptic might have more [22:45] Whenever I load Twitter.com in the FF that comes w/ 9.04 - my 3 Ghz dual core 6GB RAM desktop comes to a crawl - any ideas about what might be causing this? Running 64bit [22:45] Buttons840: for that matter, you could also use kdevelop [22:45] thomatwork: I'm doing that same thing now with no load [22:45] thomatwork, well for one, there's no need to use twitter [22:46] geany, i saw that and heard good things about it? [22:46] i think not using twitter would solve that [22:46] boringpackets: ;) [22:46] anyone? black screen on boot? [22:46] boringpackets: don't be smart, he's asking for help [22:46] Buttons840: for me, gedit is perfectly sufficient - it's got syntax hilight, tabs and line numbers [22:46] Buttons840: yes, very lightweight but works just fine [22:46] boringpackets, Its a dell optiplex gx260, im thinking if I put in a fx 5200 video card that will get it up to normal speed. [22:46] thomatwork: I know this isn't helpful, but it works perfectly well for me in 32-bit [22:46] ikonia, I expect a certain amount of smart assery [22:47] I suppose I could try several [22:47] out of repos [22:47] gordonjcp: i like gedit, but do you happen to know it does code folding ? [22:47] voss, i can tell you from first hand experience that the fx5200 won't impress you in any way [22:47] thomatwork: have you got any unusual firefox add-ons? === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [22:47] glitsj16: not that I know of, but I expect you can configure it, or find a plugin [22:47] I take it ubottu is a script and not a human... [22:47] boringpackets, its not supposed to be impressive just enough video card power to take the load off the cpu. [22:47] I'm try a MEM check before I reinstall and test in 32bit [22:47] honkyusa, uBOTtu [22:47] voss, well in that case, its a great idea [22:47] for flash games and stuff like that [22:47] !bot [22:47] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [22:48] gordonjcp: have looked around, but nothing yet, thanks [22:48] gorgonjcp: just the default [22:48] So, when you install something from the repos, and later uninstall them, is it REALLY gone? (I'm used to Windows where instalilng and then uninstalling leaves you with poor performance after a while.) [22:48] i still can't find out where to go to enable four virtual desktops [22:48] boringpackets besides, It only cost me $24 for a low profile agp card so im not expecting much :) [22:48] it has a nice dictionary [22:48] Buttons840: the binaries are gone.. configuration and data files remain [22:48] Buttons840, it removes all but the config files unless you "purge" it [22:48] Buttons840: in synaptic "Purge" is the same as "completely remove" [22:49] voss, lucky you, i paid substantially more for it, and it caused an emotional breakdown (as well as an FPS breakdown) [22:49] purge = "completely remove" from symnaptic? [22:49] yes, thanks. [22:49] Hey, Ubuntu has a version of kdiff3 that makes git mergetool die [22:49] Buttons840, yes, that's correct [22:49] Someone should update it. [22:49] every time i come in here for help i end up chatting and not getting anything done so i better go [22:49] !bug | sjzzalx [22:49] boringpackets, Its a school machine I can play with. On my work machine Im putting a low profile 9400 gt that one is costing about $50 [22:49] sjzzalx: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [22:49] hmm - I'm also hearing hard drive activity when ever I move my mouse from the Windows PC to the Linux PC (using Synergy running as a daemon on login) [22:49] I don't like going the slow way, you dudes [22:50] voss i have a 9400M in my laptop, and it runs compiz like a dream, though it does get sluggish if i try to lay emerald on top of it [22:50] boringpackets: If you have an applet that shows 2 desktops, then right click on it and choose preferences from the menu. [22:50] sjzzalx, nothing gets fixed if no one tells us what's wrong [22:50] is there any network-specific channel? [22:50] Dell has very low power power supplies, so I have to be cautious what I put in. My optiplex 760 needs a video card, because the Intel 4 video doesnt work with ubuntu 9.05 for some reason. [22:50] Anyone know of Synergy causing performance issues? [22:50] janisozaur: ##networking [22:50] 9.04 [22:51] Hi all, I'm running a clean install of 9.04, and any time I right-click a bookmark in my bookmarks menu in Firefox, the browser crashes. Same happens if I go to "organize bookmarks" and click anything in the bookmarks menu. Any ideas? [22:51] try reinstalling firefox [22:51] hey [22:51] mystic414: you don't really need bookmarks - just don't use them ... jk [22:51] Openoffice doesn't spell check [22:52] So Im putting a 9400 video card, on a dell system with a 255 watt power supply, supposedly it has a peak power usage of 39 watts so im crossing my fingers :) [22:52] mystic414, you don't happen to have a .mozilla folder in your homedir from another installation do you? [22:52] mystic414: first idea is to run from terminal to see if you get anything useful. workaround idea is to download firefox from mozilla.com perhaps [22:52] thomatwork: I ran into quite a synergy problem a while back. It was related to synergy multithreading and loosing X events for a while. But that should be patched in any recent updates. [22:53] well my bug report is in and i am rebooting [22:53] Is synergy part of the default 9.04 "live" install? [22:53] hittt_: I did apt-get --purge remove firefox-3.0, then reinstalled and didn't help [22:53] hatter243: I do have a .mozilla folder in my home dir [22:53] then download a .deb file from firefox.com [22:53] boringpackets, have you tried a 7200gs with 9.04? [22:54] pepperjack: Running it from terminal give me a Segmentation fault message when it dies [22:54] how do i change policykit for a remote computer? [22:54] ie, without guii [22:54] thomatwork: That synergy defect is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synergy/+bug/194029 I haven't used synergy recently, so don't know how it acts on jaunty. [22:55] Any heavy Songbird users? Is there any way to configure Songbird to look at my music *as is* like Amarok1 used to do and Exaile does? I don't wnat my music sorted through ID tags - I just want Songbird to VIEW my music and present it to me the EXACT same way its arranged in my music folder in my home directory. [22:55] voss no i havent, just the 9400M [22:55] hatter243: Slart: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/372454 [22:55] mystic414: :) i would download the tar.gz from mozilla extract it in your home dir and run that see if you see same crash [22:55] sjzzalx, thanks! [22:56] Anybody know how to set hardware acceleration for frame buffer vesafb using fbset? To list 1233 files in console takes 27s, while in X it's a zippy 0.77s. [22:56] mystic414: the idea to mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-bak is a good one. dont panic that your bookmarks are gone when you relaunch. its a good test [22:56] I think there was a way, to make cp work like mv [22:56] sjzzalx: looks good.. hope they fix it [22:57] hey guys ! Can someone help me ? I need to determine the ip-adress of an host in a lan. [22:57] hittt_, cp -R? [22:57] dunno [22:57] I think [22:57] Depends on what you mean "work like" [22:57] rednammoc: the external ip or internal? [22:57] hittt_, what's the problem you're having? [22:57] pepperjack: internal [22:58] rednammoc: ping? :) [22:58] it isnt a problem, rather a mind confusion, it is late and i start forgetting unix! [22:58] rednammoc, host [hostname] ? [22:58] pepperjack: the external will be the same like i'm using ;) [22:58] rednammoc, Are you trying to figure out the ip of your own computer or an external one? [22:58] pepperjack: ping says: cant resolv host-name [22:59] hatter243: of an external one [22:59] if i use smbtree i can see the host. but i want to know the ip-adress [23:00] Connect to the host once and then from the terminal type "arp -a" [23:00] rednammoc: for i in `seq 1 99`; do ping 192.168.0.$i; done :) heh [23:00] I think zenmap would work in that situation rednammoc, it's a GUI for nmap [23:00] rednammoc: Isn't there an nmblookup command or something like that? [23:00] rofl [23:00] xD [23:00] pepperjack: Renaming the .mozilla folder didn't help. I downloaded a fresh copy from mozilla.org, extracted it, ran the extracted copy, still crashes (Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_sensitive: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed) [23:00] i know. but is there an better way ^^ [23:00] pepperjack: 192.168.1.x workz too!

[23:03] thanks dasei [23:03] i can open anything i cant open terminal synaptic add/remove pls help [23:03] boringpackets, do you think fx 5200 will at least fix it so flash games are not sluggish [23:03] Hmm [23:04] iron_495, can you use the command line? [23:04] voss, my fx5200 was able to play flash games, but some i had to set to low quality [23:04] yes [23:04] I'm just upgrading Ubuntu from 8.10 to 9.04 on a friend's PC and it wants to install LILO?!? Why would it replace GRUB with LILO?!?! [23:04] what program do i use to burn img files to usb drives? [23:04] what was the release date for 9.04? [23:04] rapha: ubuntu may not work with lilo [23:04] KB1JWQ: didnt give me the hostname. but found all pc's on the network including mac-adress [23:04] lol rapha, thats funny right there [23:05] iron_495, can you reinstall ubuntu-desktop? [23:05] I have 8.10 is that that one acceptable? [23:05] DumDUm: i know and i dont want lilo but update-manager installed it - why, and can I safely remove it again? [23:05] hittt_: [23:06] rapha: that's a known issue, mentioned in the release notes ... if you don't need it, you can safely remove it [23:06] iron_495, you are not verbose at all!

Touch and iPhones dont. [23:47] thanks alot [23:47] welcome [23:47] I know on WinXP its been caught erasing data off of ipods, song bird that is. [23:47] admin_masu3701: is there some "mute" button your cat could have hit ? =) [23:47] DasEi, I really didn't want anymore kde libs, but luckily that app doesnt install anymore kde libs than I already had :D [23:47] ELo: you need to jailbreak it. I have a Touch also. [23:47] i did upgradte to 9.04..but sound was working fine after [23:47] Anyone found how to get a Zune to work with Ubuntu 9.04 yet? [23:47] admin_masu3701, http://www.walkingrandomly.com/?p=1100 [23:47] Does anyone have an idea how to really check CD-writers abilities? I mean all of the sudden I can't burn any images with 9.04 while I could do it with 8.10 just fine no matter what the program used... k3b insist that mine drive doesn't support "RAW" but I know it does.. [23:47] glitsj16: Now if only I could figure out what's up with sound events in Gnome. *sigh* [23:47] eh, i'm not that heavy into my ipod. [23:47] eseven73: which app do you use now ? [23:48] kdirstats [23:48] olmari, all of them support raw [23:48] Thought about it, but I dont care about customizing so much. [23:48] errr kdirstat [23:48] its funny how can i hear sound when i play some video clip online [23:48] still says dependency is unsatisfiable [23:48] admin_masu3701: it sometimes work when under the process viewer i kill everything containing "artsd" or "knotify" [23:48] but no sound otherwise [23:48] big feature thats buggy is packet writing, havnt gotten that to work myself [23:48] MikeTheC: have you tried installing some extra libcanberra related packages yet ? [23:48] olmari: Nero for linux is pretty good.Thats what i use.Its only like $25 [23:48] no [23:48] Ubuntu 9.04 picks up my Zune now! :D [23:48] i haven't [23:48] what's the xen-aware kernel called in ubuntu 9.04 ? [23:49] admin_masu3701: oh, you mean you got sound on firefox and nowhere else ? [23:49] Nero for Linux? Hmm. I didn't know about that. :D [23:49] I'll stick with Brasero and k3b. [23:49] NERO?! [23:49] whoa [23:49] i gotta look into that [23:49] last i checked - i dident see anything thgat Nero for Linux did.. that k3b dident.. [23:49] My sound issue is far different then yours admin_masu3701, all my sound is crackly no matter what I am playing it through [23:49] I need to buy q 120 for my car, but don't have any Windows machines... Will I be able to xfers songs in Ubuntu without using Itunes or jailbreaking? [23:49] it dident have all the features the windos-over-kill version did. :) [23:49] jaggerjack_: gotta get into industrial =) [23:49] K3b is it, too bad Brasero hasn't come up to par [23:50] NERO FOR LINUX: http://www.nero.com/eng/linux3.html [23:50] :D [23:50] MarkJones: well it isn't burningprogram related as said... NO program works now.. [23:50] industrial? you'll have to rephrase that [23:50] you mean the hardware? [23:50] i dont have sound no where in the system...but i just try to play a clip and i hear sound... [23:50] hahah [23:50] distorted music for which you won't notice that kind of crackles [23:50] anyone know what the kernel for ubuntu 9.04 which is xen aware is called [23:50] hey, this is more of a hardware question than Ubuntu-specific, but still related - what's the lightest, in terms of weight, laptop that is hardware compatible with Ubuntu? [23:50] no sound otherwise [23:50] hah [23:50] nice [23:50] Ive never realy had any dependability with k3b or brasero. [23:51] preferably something with a full-sized keyboard, no 9" netbooks [23:51] is it possible to run Ubuntu 9.04 on a dual core 2 ghz with 3 gig memory without a swapfile? [23:51] admin_masu3701: oh, then I guess the only thing you got to do is kill firefox first [23:51] Sergeant_Pony: should be .. [23:51] Sergeant_Pony, yes, the swap file is recomended, not recquired [23:51] I don't use one [23:51] I thinks so Sergeant Pony. [23:51] Sergeant_Pony: it sucks when you run out of ram. :) [23:51] Juliiii: how do i do that...i would kill anything right now...hehee [23:52] Put Swap on there anyway, JUST in case. :D [23:52] sudo top [23:52] glitsj16: The only uninstalled options are libcanberra0-dbg, libcanberra-dev, libcanberra-doc, libcanberra-gtk0-dbg, libcanberra-gtk-dev and libcanberra-gtk-module-dbg. [23:52] Dr_Willis, I've had this setup for 2 weeks now and it never uses more that 15% of the memory and has never touched the swapfile [23:52] hopla [23:52] gottago ! [23:52] ciao [23:52] why is jaunty requiring me to put in a password to reboot?? [23:52] Sergeant_Pony, yah Jaunty is very efficient [23:52] juliiiii: sudo top just show you the processes === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [23:52] MikeTheC: that looks like you have all you should need from libcanberra, those are either debug or dev packages indeed [23:53] mrwes, cool, I like it so far except for my sound issues.. [23:53] forums down? === maco_ is now known as maco [23:53] admin_masu3701: you can see the pid of the firefox-process, so run: kill (pid) [23:53] Sergeant_Pony: sucks when ya accidently start 100 videos.. Like i did the other day. :) i used up swap real fast then.. heh [23:53] glitsj16: Yup, pretty much. Mind you I did a search for just "canberra" to try and catch anything that could be relevant or related. [23:53] Forums down. :( [23:53] when you guys go to shut down or reboot, do you get prompted for a password? [23:54] i need the libpango 1.0-0.so file [23:54] negative [23:54] Roasted only if I do it from a console [23:54] when I do it from the gui it requires a PW [23:54] how effing strange [23:54] MikeTheC: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcanberra/+bug/273507 might have a fix [23:54] roasted have you enable autologin? [23:54] i think i will just reinstall ubuntu...less problems... [23:55] spytux - No. It requires me to put in a password to log in. [23:55] which is how I want it [23:55] Roasted you havnt changed any permissians have you? [23:55] The only thing that gets to me is how my system hangs when Ubuntu is loading the Night Rider line prior to the GUI coming up. [23:55] koshari1 - I did change some permissions, but the permissions I changed were to my backup drive... [23:55] i have an acer 5920g with card reader and ubuntu 8.04, im trying to use my 4giga SD card but i cant!the crazy part is that 2 days ago the card works just simple, i just plug it in my laptop all was fine! could someone help me ?? [23:55] koshari1 - what permissions would be tied in with the logout thing Im dealing with? [23:55] Worse case I have to manually turn off the PC and back on again and hope it goes through after the third manual reboot. [23:56] can anyone help me find the .so variant of libpango? [23:56] Roasted i dont know specifically however i cant see what else would change the logout behaviour, i take it it wasnt always the case you were prompted? === KelebekTurkce718 is now known as istanbLue [23:57] ??? http://ubuntuforums.org/ [23:57] can anyone tell me when I let firefox sit for a period of time it stops loading pages? [23:57] koshari1 - No, originally it just gave me the 1 minute warning asking me if I was sure [23:57] I had a post on forums but theyre down now so I dont know if anybody responded. [23:57] Roasted: are you rebooting from the command line? or the GUI? [23:58] What is the difference between Ubuntu, Ubuntu serv and Ubuntu alternative? [23:58] mrwes - GUI [23:58] weird [23:58] mrwes - tell me about it [23:58] roasted this will happen if you use switch user option... [23:58] i have 2 partition, dual boot linux and windows, want to reinstall ubuntu, what do i need to do, should i edit the ubuntu partion first or just install the cd [23:58] spytux - I'm trying to restart... [23:58] Roasted: upload a screenshot to imageshack [23:58] Roasted well it would appear an action taken just prior to the change would be the root cause, it you are like me however and have uptimes of up to 10 days it may be difficult to isolate the cause [23:58] Iradieh:alternative comes with a more configurable text installer, better for extic hardware.. [23:59] DasEi: hmm what do you recomend for a mac mini? [23:59] what's the name of the sudo crontab -e file? I want to back it up :D [23:59] jaggerjack_: some websites/services do auto-reloading, but besides that your firefox shouldn't move if you don't use it [23:59] Anyway what about server/ubuntu desktop (I come from a Debian background, I got a server, but I use NX to connect to it and therefore run Xfce) [23:59] hi ! what device should I use to raw access cd/dvd?
