[00:00] Roasted: or wait.. have a look in ~/.mozilla/plugins . Do you see anything that looks like a flashplugin there? [00:00] followup: If I have 1GB RAM and make a swap that's only 512, would that break hibernate? [00:00] Kareeser: yes [00:00] Slart, I agree, just I am worried since this is an old drive I mounted long ago and it dual boot for XP 64 also, a reinstall will remove that correct? [00:00] kareeser - status: not loaded [00:00] guycook: nope.. xp will still be there [00:00] Slart -libflashplayer.so [00:00] Roasted: In firefox: tools, addons, plugins. select the flash item and click disable [00:00] zze86: Then the port should be open... unless I am mistaken. This is port 5900, right? [00:00] hi [00:00] Roasted: remove that one and you should be on square one again.. [00:01] zze86: are you accessing from within the local network? [00:01] i am searching for an XP laptop and can[t find one [00:01] Roasted: then you can try installing the one from the repos.. see if that one works better [00:01] Okay, most of you probably haven't done this, but I'm giving it a go because I'm tired of not having any sound on this other system: just setup pulseaudio to accept network connections from other pulseaudio systems on the lan. so far, it works... sort of! the default GDM 'da-da-dum!' chime makes it through!! but i'm having some permission issues with regular user, who is in the pulse-access and pulse-rt groups - has anyone made it farther to make it work? [00:01] i dont want to pay DEll's premium for xp lappys [00:01] so [00:01] Slart, glad we talked about that, then the fresh install will only touch the part of the drive that is running ubuntu x64 correct? [00:01] should i install ubuntu [00:01] instead of xp [00:01] bamb00: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:01] bamb00: es :P [00:01] zze86: you trying to remote into ubunt from windows RDP? [00:01] yes* [00:01] what? i am not flooding what r u saying im flooding [00:01] Roasted: Only disables - the file will still be somewhere (~/.mozilla somewhere?). The one in ubuntu's repos. doesn't work for 64-bit either [00:01] guycook: well.. it will only touch the parts you tell it to touch.. you have to take care what you tell it [00:01] okay, I'm looking to try out a few different Desktop environments, which should I try? [00:02] bamb00: How experienced are you with Ubuntu? [00:02] I've already got GNOME and KDE [00:02] Anyone help me? :( [00:02] h2g2bob: the one in the repos works nicely on 64bit.. at least for me [00:02] bamb00: just don't type lots of short sentences and then hit enter a lot :) === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| [00:02] bamb00: It takes some willpower to "quit" cold turkey [00:02] Kareeser: i know a bit abt programming i know BASIC and Fortran [00:02] but no C [00:02] i heard u need to know C for linux [00:02] Slart, correct I'll make sure of the environment first that makes sense [00:02] bamb00: Using Ubuntu requires no knowledge of programming [00:02] bamb00: no you don't.. [00:02] Hello. [00:02] how diff. is ubuntu from redhat or mandrake [00:02] bamb00: depending on what you want to do with linux... these days, you really don't [00:02] bamb00: essentially very similar [00:02] kareeser: yeah from the local network, although I guess physically there is a router in the way. I did the port scan with the network tools function and it doesn't find port 5900 and I can't access the net either but my bittorrent client is running just fine, which is why I though tthe port was closed.... [00:02] When I try to permanently delete some files from trash, I get this: Error removing file: Permission denied [00:02] Will the new install 'see' what is there already? [00:02] nog_lorp: the "winking" is caused by gnome panel constantly terminating and being restarted. compare the pids of gnome-panel in your paste [00:02] i used mandrake in 2002 but it didn't work on my PC [00:02] the internet was not working [00:03] bamb00: just for regular every day usage there is no need to know C or any other programming language [00:03] can someone please help me, my headphone jack doesnt work in ubuntu. [00:03] hbekel: k I'll check [00:03] does ubuntu work with internet on XP/vista laptops [00:03] zze86: can you ping the server from the client machine? [00:03] guycook: I'm not really sure.. [00:03] bamb00: ubuntu works with any internet connection. [00:03] hbekel: when I killall gnome-panel it doesn't come back [00:03] Slart, ok well thanks, I'll do some investigating now [00:03] kareeser: yep, and I can access the router config page as well [00:03] bamb00: you can always use liveCD to try it out first. [00:03] TonyTheTiger: is it enabled in alsamixer [00:03] guycook: do so, good luck with the reinstall =) [00:03] i have no option for headphone volume either [00:03] bamb00: dsl, cable, wireless, dialup, x.25.... [00:03] hbekel: and dialogs that I can get to come up work fine (like power off dialog) [00:03] brb [00:03] bc, for SSLOptions i have only one thing... +StrictRequire .. is that alright? I used to have more on this line but I removed it while trying to debug [00:03] zze86: which vnc server is this? the one preinstalled with ubuntu? [00:03] Slart - Bingo. that libflashplayer.so that was in the .mozilla/plugins folder, I deleted it, then reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree and now it works fine. Thanks bro. [00:04] chuck_, I have an option in alsamixer which is headphone but its a "switch" which is on. [00:04] nog_lorp: have you tried running gnome-panel from the commandline? [00:04] Roasted: you're welcome [00:04] i know for sure it dosent work with dialup modems. i never culd install working mandrake with my modem. no driver :(( [00:04] zze86: make sure it's allowing incoming connections, System -> Pref -> Remote Desktop [00:04] chuck_, how can i enable it? [00:04] but i dont have dialup :)) i have cable now [00:04] bamb00: Try linmodems [00:04] bamb00: It's a website [00:04] bamb00: the main difference is how you use to add/remove software. The biggest change is the change over time - Ubuntu today isn't much different from other linuxes today but is quite different from older linuxes [00:04] also [00:04] bamb00: this is 2009. that was 2002. tell me, could you play games with linux in 1994 with full 3d graphics? :) [00:04] Kareeser: on the Ubuntu machine, yes the preinstalled client. On my windows with which I am trying to access the Ubunut machine I am using the RealVNC viewer [00:05] if i type in some word software, like StarOffice [00:05] hi [00:05] will the fonts still look ugly [00:05] cuz [00:05] linux_noob: just use +StdEnvVars [00:05] they were very ugly then [00:05] bamb00: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:05] mmm.. 1994.. voodoo 1 graphics accelerators.. mmmm [00:05] zze86: so what's the error... "can't connect to server"? [00:05] TonyTheTiger: open alsamixer make sure it is not muted [00:05] bamb00: Install "msttcorefonts" [00:05] FloodBot3 im not flooding [00:05] bamb00: I also find that Linux fonts are better looking than Windows' equivalents [00:05] i'm running Ubuntu 9.04, when i tried to mount the cdrom, there was a error : dev /dev/sdc0 not found [00:05] bamb00: staroffice is old and obsolete. we use openoffice now (sun open-sourced staroffice and openoffice was the result - it's still in development with regular stable releases) [00:05] any help [00:05] bamb00: try a live cd.. it will answer all these questions without any change to your existing system [00:05] kareeser: yeah I already setup the remote desktop to allow incoming connections [00:05] /server wulfhowl.com [00:05] ... [00:05] ignore that [00:05] microtux: try /cdrom [00:06] bamb00: and ignore the bots [00:06] !ask | microtux [00:06] microtux: 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. :-) [00:06] !enter [00:06] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:06] /dev/scd0 sorry, [00:06] zze86: So the connection attempt just times out? [00:06] microtux: how are you mounting the cdrom? [00:06] ubottu, agreed! [00:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about agreed! [00:06] chuck_, There is no volume control for headphone, all other options are not muted. [00:06] microtux: oh.. sorry.. didn't see your question.. [00:06] Slart, mount /media/cdrom [00:06] TonyTheTiger: I thought there was... [00:07] Slart, the fstab : /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [00:07] bamb00: have you been living under a rock that broke a mirror? [00:07] kareeser: unable to resolve the host by name. The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found (11004).......It was a different error yesterday night. yesterday it was nable to connect to host: Connection refused (10061) [00:07] whot [00:07] hello [00:07] Kareeser, What made you think that? There is a "switch" option which is just a tick box for headphones. [00:07] oh wow.... [00:07] bamb00: well, you mentioned you hadn't used linux for about 7 years [00:07] hello all [00:08] zze86: sounds like it's connecting then... but it's just not establishing a connection properly, odd. [00:08] TonyTheTiger: master volume controls headphone volume [00:08] hello zikiti [00:08] zze86: Have you tried posting on Ubuntuforums, so people can try solving this in a slower-paced setting? [00:08] What's the reason that backgrounds from /usr/share/backgrounds/ and /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/cosmos/ are not included in Appearance Preferences? [00:08] chuck_, thats set to max then. [00:08] can anyone assist with setting up wireless on 9.04? [00:08] bc, do you know if there is a way that i can copy and paste out of CygWin? [00:08] Gnea i tried linux in 2002 a lot bt it didnt work with anything not with internet also fonts were ugly etc. so i gave up after that windows XP was gr8 so i didnt bother now vista is like super SUCK and i dont want to waste laptop energy on stupid vista thats why i want linux or xp but u cant get xp drivers so linux [00:08] lianimator: I don't think it adds backgrounds automatically.. iirc you have to "Add" them yourself, one by one [00:08] TonyTheTiger: when you plug in headphones does speaker sound stop [00:08] hbekel: when I killed it and tried to run it from tty1, DISPLAY wasn't set [00:08] i have set it up and works, but incrediably slow [00:08] Can't get my D-Link di-624 wireless to connect [00:08] hbekel: dunno the default display [00:09] bamb00: lots have changed in the past 7 years [00:09] chuck_, yes it does. [00:09] linux_noob: i do not, but I would imagine it would be a function of windows cmd shell instead [00:09] no, not yet. I was going to try that next but y'know typical american instant gratification. :P thanks for trying though [00:09] nog_lorp: run it from a terminal in gnome [00:09] so ? [00:09] bamb00: you have to approach Ubuntu with an open mind. And be open to solving your own problems. [00:09] (EE)NVIDIA(0): Failed to intialize the NVIDIA module! Please ensure that there is a supported NVIDIA GPU in this system and that the NVIDIA device files have been vreated properly. *aborting* Screens found, but none have a usable configuration. <-- The error message I get now after installing the NVIDIA driver. Anyone can tell me how to get rid of the driver I installed?? [00:09] hbekel: how can I get a terminal in gnome :( [00:09] linux_noob: right click on title bar [00:09] Dealer: How did you install the driver? [00:09] Ubuntu finds the modem but, even after reset, "admin" does not work? [00:09] Slart: I opened the folder and dragged them in. just wondering why they were not included on fresh install!! they look great. [00:09] !terminal [00:09] 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 [00:09] I converted /dev/sda2 from ntfs to ext4 ande now it only mounts read-only. How to I change it to mount writeable? [00:10] hbekel: dunno the necessary hotkeys to do that without using the menus [00:10] Kareeser, I shut down my X-Server, su, sh NVIDIA-blablabla.run [00:10] bc, cool thank you [00:10] Dealer: uh-oh. [00:10] But "user" works but I can't change settings log in as "user" [00:10] Dealer: did you check to see if your card was supported? [00:10] lianimator: that I don't know .. I was kind of expecting it to add all images from some special folder.. that would be nice imho [00:10] Slart, Kareeser any idea ? [00:10] bamb00: ah, okay. well, here's the deal: mandrake (which is now called mandriva) is one out of, literally, hundreds of distributions. Ubuntu is based off of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, which is well known for its stableness. It is not Debian, but uses the same package management system and a few other minor tidbits (configuration locations, etc) [00:10] I picked it out on the Nvidia.com site :S [00:10] microtux: nope.. no idea [00:11] microtux: negatory... [00:11] TonyTheTiger: and your sure under alsamixer there is not mm in the headphone box [00:11] I'm trying to install ubuntu server 9.04 on an old dell inspiron 1000. I keep failing the install though. Getting a message: "failed to determine codename for the release" [00:11] microtux: try ubuntuforums :) [00:11] Kareeser, no, I just picked it out on the Nvidia.com site ... [00:11] Not much info on this in the forums [00:11] Was wondering if anyone came across this [00:11] Dealer: right, I heard ya :) let me think... [00:11] Kareeser, sorry :S [00:11] nog_lorp: so start gnome, killall gnome-panel, then switch to a tty console, type export DISPLAY=:0.0 and then gnome-terminal [00:11] Slart, Kareeser well, thank u @ all, [00:12] bamb00: Ubuntu has been made, from the ground-up, to be easy for anybody to use. Most of everything has been setup and geared toward desktop use. If something isn't working, there's over 1,000 people here in #ubuntu. Plus, we also have http://ubuntuforums.org, which you are encouraged to register on. Sometimes asking questions in both forums can get your answers quicker. :) [00:12] hbekel: thanks [00:12] Dealer: I'm out of ideas :( Try the forums? [00:12] brb [00:12] Dealer: I've never had it fail on me, so I'm out of my element here, sorry [00:12] well [00:12] theres only 1 prob. [00:12] bamb00: yeah? [00:12] chuck_, in the headphone box there is 00 and i cant change any value for it. [00:12] bamb00: of course, there's a server version as well, and as of last month, there's a version for netbooks too. [00:12] Kareeser, I did the repair thing, I selected the recovery mode, and did the auto fix there, you beleve its fixed now ? [00:12] chuck_, there is mm in front mi and line [00:12] if i install ubuntu will ppl on mIRC basically tell me im a "noob" if i ask them cuz that what pissed me off in 2002 and i began hating linux [00:12] Dealer: in my experience, that doesn't do anything... :S [00:13] damn [00:13] Dealer: of course, it DOES something, but nothing that actually helped me. [00:13] how do i open a 7zip? [00:13] Dealer: hey, give it a shot, if it works, it works [00:13] gonna try another restart of the x-server.

[00:14] kk :)) [00:14] bamb00: we can't possible predict what people around might or might not call you.. this channel is friendly and we'll be nice to you as long as you behave reasonably [00:14] bamb00: I tried arch today. I messed it up real bad. Does that make me a noob? I bet, but I don't really care. [00:14] Any takers? The error is "failed to determine codename for the release" [00:14] Kareeser: only a jew would try "arch". [00:14] bamb00: LOL [00:14] lol [00:14] bc, as i read over the exact stuff i jsut copy and pasted to you.. i cant help but read the preExisting #comment in ports that says that SSL virtual hosts are not yet supported.. .and then i look to the next file where i do exactly that they said i couldnt do.. declare an SSL virtual host [00:14] zikiti: where in the install does it say that?

[00:16] Kareeser: Even redownloaded from different mirror and verified again [00:16] bc, so as it stands currently with those two files... attempting an apache restart gives me teh error that 443 is alreayd in use [00:16] linux_noob: (replace localhost with whatever IP the machine is) [00:16] nog_lorp: please give the complete error message [00:16] zikiti: una momento, researching.

[00:16] linux_noob: you should only see 1 result [00:17] When I type a word in my address bar it goes to that word website not automatically to .com website for example I wanted to go to fandango.com but it took me to http://fandango/ why is that [00:17] bamb00: so, what is it that you're having issues with Ubuntu today? :) [00:17] bc, i see 3 :( [00:17] ahhhh [00:17] hbekel: "gnome-panel: symbol lookup error: gnome-panel: undefined symbol: g_mount_is_shadowed" [00:17] Switchfoot: I think it goes to the first result of a google search for that work.. but it's configurable in firefox [00:17] bc, default, default-ssl, 000-defaul [00:17] my x-server is fu*ked :S [00:17] linux_noob: only one you should have defined is in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl [00:18] Slart, do you know how I can undo my wrong by installing the nvidia driver ? [00:18] zikiti: wild-ass guess, try workaround posted here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/122402 [00:18] linux_noob: default is only for 80 [00:18] Dealer: hmm.. you installed it from the file from the nvidia site? [00:18] bc, okay i'll switch all the other references to :80 for now and see if my apache restarts willingly brb [00:18] wait [00:18] no [00:18] zikiti: outside of that, I'm not the one to ask, since I am now just guessing. So ask around here again :) [00:18] bc, thanks for all the help by the way [00:18] Slart, yes, su, sh NVIDIA-Linux.......run [00:18] is there a program that would log how much time you spent on each application? Like a usage logger.. [00:19] Kareeser: yes i did [00:19] Dealer: I think the same file you used to install it can be used to uninstall it.. have you tried running "sh NVIDIA-linux-blablabla --help" ? [00:19] didn't work [00:19] i pulled up some art site instead of fandango.com [00:19] zikiti: ok. [00:19] the .com is the first result on google [00:19] linux_noob: no problem. brb phone [00:19] Slart, did not, I will now. [00:19] Can I update the firmware of my d-link di-624 via Ubuntu? [00:19] yes you can Fezzler [00:19] I have a dlink 625 and I update it very easy in linux [00:19] Slart: Oh! I didn't know you could do that! Thanks! [00:19] dlink ftw [00:20] Fezzler: depends.. I think d-link can do that by using the web interface... some devices require you to run a windows binary for updating firmware.. [00:20] eseven73: Linksys w/ Tomato ftw. [00:20] Anyone here from Ireland? [00:20] Kareeser: huh? [00:20] nm it goes to .net sites [00:20] ewww linksys :P [00:20] eseven73: hehehe [00:20] Slart: Uninstalling the nvidia driver thing.

[00:22] Just got to get used to reading now, no more windows, no more 'yes yes yes yes yes yes' ;) [00:22] Fezzler: you can probably reset it.. go to the D-Link site, download a manual and see how to do it on your device.. there might be a small button on the back.. or some other way [00:22] bc, im down to only one :443 referece but it claism teh Address is alreayd in use could not bind [00:22] Dealer: tadaaa =) [00:22] Kinda retarded. Long time since I used linux ;) [00:22] thanks folks!!

[00:27] welltb: var can occasionally grow unexpectedly (for instance, if something suddenly starts dumping loads of error output into /var/log). Putting it in a separate partition prevents it from filling up your whole disk [00:27] TonyTheTiger: what sound/s card do you have [00:27] linux_noob: what is between you and 192.168.1.100?

I lost the ability to connect to my hostname and I could only connect to the exact IP... i then realized that this was occuring because I had not forwarded the 443 port from my router [00:37] Gnea: that mean I have to run under root?

[00:52] (Same Distro, Different Users) ;) [00:52] vcoolio, thanks its /etc/apache2/ports.conf [00:52] connect [00:52] Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/167324/ [00:54] linux_noob: http://paste.ubuntu.com/167325/ [00:54] linux_noob: sorry, mine is empty (if I had it, could be I created it by trying to open with gedit) [00:54] kareeser, thanks, vcoolio, thanks for checking [00:54] Soren_: after u've deleted all the partitions, it will ask u if u want to create a partition. u then allocate 100GB. iirc it will ask for the size in bytes? so just change to '2' to a '0' and u should be good to go [00:54] bk: ok, once more, but like this please: ps auxf | grep -i screen [00:55] How do I use the badsectors command? [00:55] does anyone know the wine channel? [00:55] ok hold on [00:55] Hi all, does anyone know much about iPod mounting? something stupid happened [00:55] mrubcich: #winehq [00:55] dayo, change 2 to a 0? [00:55] !ipod | drowner [00:55] mrubcich: #wing_hq [00:55] drowner: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [00:55] hahahaha, yeah #wine is NOT it :P [00:56] Gnea: cheers [00:56] Kareeser LOL [00:56] drowner: :) [00:56] #wine_hq [00:56] elexodus: do you mean badblocks?

[00:57] http://paste.ubntu.com/182986/ [00:57] bk: okay, well for whatever reason, you screen session has 'gone bad' and you should kill it and start a new one [00:57] ok [00:57] *your [00:57] but how do i get the remote screen? [00:57] Gnea: and that should fix it? [00:57] bk: yup [00:57] Gnea: its been up and running for like 2 weeks haha [00:57] kill screen? [00:57] bk: and, I recommend using -A -R -DD instead of just -rd [00:57] hello I've been tring for a couple of day to find away to get 8.10 to see the network but I have had no luck, Is there someone who has had this problem before ? [00:57] Gnea: ok, ill take a note for that [00:58] bk: yeah - kill -9 where the of the SCREEN (in upper-case) [00:58] iron_495: wireless? [00:58] HOw stupid [00:58] elexodus: If you want to check a partition for bad sectors, first unmount it, then run 'sudo badblocks -vvv /dev/'. If it's the root partition, you'll need to boot off a livecd first (as it needs to be unmounted) [00:58] no wired [00:58] Soren_: the total size of your disk will be listed as something like: 120000000 when u're about to partition, u change the 2 to 0, u would be allocating 100GB to XP, leaving 20GB for ubuntu [00:58] aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [00:58] iron_495: What is the error, you can't see windows' shared folders? [00:58] ty,ok, bbl [00:58] I plugged my ipod into my work machine (windows) and it, for some reason, means that now my ipod music files are read only to me [00:58] iron_495: or you have no internet? [00:58] i managed to add songs by running gtkpod as root [00:59] but that's not something i want to do [00:59] Kareeser: no ipv6 routers present [00:59] Does anyone knows a script/program that will execute the command 'cp' between two mountpoints from X to X time, and verifies if the file exists on the destination mountpoint and if that happens it skips it? [00:59] skorzen: man rsync [00:59] B [01:00] iron_495: Whoa, weird. Give Ubuntuforums a try. This sounds like a specialized issue. Ubuntu shoulkd default to ipv4... dunno why it's like that now [01:00] skorzen: rsync? [01:00] Soren_: see u later [01:00] pipegeek, I'll take a look, thanks. [01:00] :) [01:00] pipegeek: does it matter if I have data on the drive? [01:00] agh, too slow :) [01:00] Kareeser: ok thanks [01:00] skorzen, rsync maybe [01:00] elexodus: By default, it only does a read-mode test. So your data should be safe :) [01:00] hi [01:00] quick bug check, anyone running compiz: If you middle-click window titlebar, does it get put to the background but fail to loose focus? (i.e. if you use keyboard you still input to the now background window)? [01:01] pipegeek: hey, that works nice. [01:01] ienorand: whoa, didn't know I could do that [01:01] awesome [01:01] ienorand: affirmative [01:01] ienorand: yeah, same here. maybe it's a feature? [01:02] is SSLOptions +StdEnvVars all I need to connect via https? do i need more options [01:02] ienorand: maybe. Kind a handy to fill in terminal commands reading from your browser [01:02] Gnea: still get the same error, all screens killed [01:02] ienorand: otherwise I wouldn't think so really.

[01:07] hey everyone i am having a rough time getting my microphone to work on my inspiron 1721 [01:07] VCoolio: Kareeser I'm gonna check the settings, but since metacity does loose focus, it would be nice with consistency. [01:08] Hey guys, Synaptic keeps telling me that DPKG was interupted during something, and won't run. How to reset this? [01:08] jakuphl: yes.

If it doesn't, you should be set [01:09] Rytalin: if that doesn't work, try what Kareeser and pipegeek said [01:09] hehehe [01:10] ;) [01:10] pipegeek: when i run that, dpkg cant find something to do with an RT kernel that Ive removed [01:10] can i just delete apache?

[01:15] gnea i just had a mispelled "passwrds" file in there i deleted it now [01:15] elexodus: I think he doesn't know how to use the web interface, or rather, that it exists === Raistlin1 is now known as Raistl|n [01:15] Kareeser: Oh...

[01:16] but in time i want to connect from the ofice [01:17] elexodus: well, gee, that's a scream [01:17] hmm [01:17] Stargaze: Right, for now, we want to see if vnc works from within the network [01:17] pipegeek: yeah... any ideas? [01:17] both pcs are connected to the router, not to each other [01:17] Stargaze: That's fine [01:17] ok [01:18] Stargaze: But if the vnc client won't connect to the server, then we can at least rule out the router being a problem (hopefully) [01:18] Stargaze: how did you configure the server? [01:18] not [01:18] i'm a n00b with server [01:18] learning [01:18] linux_noob: no, openssl and apache2 are two entirely different programs [01:18] what firewall should you use with ubuntu [01:18] Stargaze: Okay, so on the server, you'll want to allow incoming connections through VNC.

"bytes received" is kind of misleading in this context---it means bytes received by the client from the server (so, if you're scp'ing something to a remote machine, it's the number of bytes you got *in response*). It shouldn't be a large number. [01:22] 606 is dapper drake [01:22] * Stargaze jaunty [01:22] I've set cron jobs using crontab -e. Do I need to reboot?

[01:35] pipegeek: Don't use truecrypt. ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truecrypt#Licensing [01:35] pipegeek: I'll be back in a half hour or so... maybe I'll be done then. how is dm_crypt? [01:35] linux_noob: you might also want to field your question in #ubuntu-server and #apache [01:35] okay, thanks gnea [01:35] Thx Kareeser. Better yet, do u guys know of a place i can see a list of the useful shortcuts for ubuntu? [01:35] does anyone know how to configure microphones?? [01:36] MaGicMaX: System -> Pref -> Keyboard Shortcuts [01:36] Can someone help with a simple redirect using .htaccess file? #httpd is dead [01:37] magicmax: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=50794 [01:37] jakuphl: I'm aware of the licensing issues (pretty much why I haven't taken it for a spin yet, as it's obviously not dfsg-free and so isn't packaged). It has capabilities that dm_crypt doesn't, which is why it's interesting. [01:37] jakuphl: any viable alternatives? Trucrypt is the strongest, most private I have used. [01:37] perfect thx alot guys [01:38] np [01:38] is there a flag for crontab that shows all cronjobs on the server? [01:38] I haven't been able to find one [01:38] elexodus: Fine. :) No volumes-hidden-within-volumes, but if you don't care about deniability (and the fact that you're announcing it in #ubuntu suggests that much), it'd probably meet your needs just as well. Not to mention that it's part of ubuntu, and requires little special configuration (you can even enable it from the installer) [01:38] gbear14275: crontab -l [01:38] gbear14275: but that's only your jobs [01:38] hi.. i need help installing drivers for an NV11 [01:38] meoblast001: NV11? [01:39] GeForce 2 [01:39] pipegeek: How hard is it to crack? [01:39] elexodus: I know... truecrypt is giving me moral hangovers.. I actually use it a little bit, but I hate it when I do. and I actually don't have any good alternative... it sucks [01:39] Kareeser: yeah I know that one but I'm trying to list them all... wasn't sure if there was a way to do that or not [01:39] meoblast001: OH, a camera. I have no clue, sorry. [01:39] jakuphl: I hear ya. [01:39] Kaie`, no..... not a camera [01:39] Kareeser, rather [01:39] wow its so easy to make ur own shortcuts... man they thought of everything! [01:39] can anyone please help me? [01:39] Kareeser, it's a graphics card [01:39] i have asked for help all day [01:39] and nothing [01:40] space_cadet: What do you need? [01:40] !ask | space_cadet [01:40] i am trying to get hibernate/resume to work [01:40] space_cadet: 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. :-) [01:40] meoblast001: nvidia? Try here: http://ubuntu.kareeser.com/?p=44 [01:40] elexodus: same algorithms. I'm not a cryptography person, so I can't give you numbers. AES-256 is currently considered to be secure. [01:40] soooe... If anyone is good at C and chryptography... please make a truecrypt replacement [01:40] pipegeek: cool\ [01:40] Kareeser, i don't know which drivers i need [01:40] elexodus: apt-get install cryptsetup, then man cryptsetup and look for "luks" [01:40] meoblast001: What model is your card? [01:40] jakuphl: whats wrong with truecrypt? [01:40] ok... should swap show in mount? [01:41] elexodus: crypttab is like fstab---lists things you want to be decrypted so they can be mounted at boot [01:41] space_cadet: no. [01:41] cgkades: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truecrypt#Licensing [01:41] ok [01:41] Kareeser, you have the same wordpress theme as me [01:41] meoblast001: hehehe... sweeet. [01:41] aren't those TrueCrypt licensing concerns only relevant if you plan to modify and redistribute TrueCrypt? [01:41] hi [01:41] if you're just an end user on ubuntu, why should you care? [01:41] umm [01:41] next... why does ubuntu boot from /dev/sda5 when i tell it /dev/sda7 is the swap and i hibernated? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [01:42] all those licensing concerns prevent is ubuntu from including truecrypt officially [01:42] I was wondering what do I have to do to get kde 3.5 on my ubuntu box? [01:42] space_cadet: hibernation can be very flakey. If your swap is not large enough its possible it might not hibernate properly [01:42] or more importantly... why doesn't ubuntu generate and write a hibernate image [01:42] space_cadet: because the boot image is saved to the hard disk. In essence, your computer has shut down, but there is a boot image to recover on the next startup [01:42] SageM: install the kde3-desktop package [01:42] pipegeek: Oh, wow, I think my system went into read-only mode again... this is what happened last time when I f'ed around with the 1TB... I'm going to stick one out there for a moment, and blame china with their patently Microsoft dependant spy-like firmware [01:42] Swish: a lot of people like to modify the source code of programs that they use to implement new features, fix bugs, and apply patches [01:42] do you have the apt-get for that [01:43] Swish: well If you have no problem with it, than feel free to use it. [01:43] Dr_Willis, ok.. well before, when i had swapoff it would at least generate an image and throw an error [01:43] now it won't even generate the image [01:43] jakuphl, I'm just trying to understand why you're discouraging end users from using it because of "licensing issues" [01:43] jakuphl: interesting, i'll have to actually read their liscense agreement [01:43] cool, i bound my home folder to ALT+H :) [01:43] it doesn't seem to affect 90% or better of ubuntu users. [01:43] space_cadet: no idea. I make it a point to never use hibernate or suspend. I find them just too flakey under windows, and linux [01:43] o.O [01:43] MaGicMaX: nice :P [01:44] Swish: Because the license is "actively dangerous to end users who agree to it, opening them to possible legal action even if they abide by all of the licensing terms" [01:45] SageM: which version of ubuntu are you using? [01:45] hey Kareeser, would you be able to explain to me why my upload/download speeds are higher in Ubuntu than windows? maybe windows has a worm u think? [01:45] Swish: That should be reason enough. [01:45] how does one delete local screen resolution configuration? [01:45] jakuphl, I'll have to read the license in detail myself, and the comments about it before I can discuss this intelligently then :) [01:46] my gut reaction says, there's nothing to sue over. [01:46] MaGicMaX: properly configured upload and download speeds should be the same [01:46] the one before the update [01:46] Swish: LOL me too ;-) [01:46] MaGicMaX: as far as I know, Windows has no discernable overhead that makes it slower than Linux. [01:46] Swish: so don't take my word for it. [01:46] MaGicMaX: However, I haven't tested to see for myself :) [01:46] Windows is fun linux is fun [01:46] :) [01:46] mac is shit [01:46] MaGicMaX: i seem to recall windows reserving some % of network banwith for somthing.. i forget what.. [01:46] nownow, settle down. [01:47] someone should slashdot that truecrypt license issue. [01:47] are you really saying that windows uses the same resources as linux? [01:47] give it press; force their hands. [01:47] Dr_Willis: Windows Update, LOL [01:47] Dr_Willis: its saved for viruses and trojans [01:47] mac is based on unix/ openBSD actually [01:47] Swish: there was something about it on slashdot a while ago [01:47] I was thinkging it was for remote admin.. or somthing. [01:47] Swish: yeah that would be pretty nice. [01:47] cgkades: freebsd, not openbsd [01:47] if u guys see Soren_, please tell him i went to bed (it's 01:46am), and i'll be back "tomorrow" again, i.e. later this saturday 09 may. nite, people. [01:48] welp, neat stuff, but back to work for me! [01:48] hey, I'm in package hell now [01:48] gnome-panel crashes because it cannot find a symbol that should be present in libgio [01:48] dmesg includes the line "ACPI Warning (nspredef-0852): \_SB_.PCIO.LPCB.LNKU._CRS: Return type mismatch - found Integer, expected Buffer [20080926]. What does LNKU mean? It might stand for 'Link U'. There are also kernel messages about LNKA to LNKH on this Ubuntu 9.04 computer. [01:48] lstarnes: you are correct.. i have NO idea why i thought it was openbsd [01:48] noglorp: dependency hell? [01:48] yep [01:48] cgkades: maybe because of openstep, which was based on nextstep [01:49] gnome-panel wants a function that was added in a newer version of libgio than I have [01:49] lstarnes: who knows, maybe i was intoxicated when i read it [01:49] libgio comes with glib [01:49] I supposedly have the latest version of glib [01:49] a noob question, i dont really use IRC.. how do u guys direct what you say to someone like that? [01:49] Swish: What does the verb "to slashdot" mean? [01:49] magicmax: is it red for you? [01:50] bullgard4: to post on slashdot right? [01:50] MaGicMaX: type first characters of adressee and press tab [01:50] distro upgrade seems to have really screwed me [01:50] its like golden when someone talks to me [01:50] magicmax: you just type their name in the sentance and it will highlight on their computer [01:50] noglorp: uh-oh. first of all, backup everything. [01:50] how does one delete local screen resolution configuration? [01:50] MaGicMax: It's magic [01:50] VCoolio: autocomplete FTW === aymara is now known as inbitado34 [01:51] Kareeser: kay, I don't really have much important on this partition === javyn is now known as BIZZAROStormy [01:51] jakuphl: wow it works?

[01:51] I'm looking for a good backup script for mysql anyone got one that they could possibly post for me? I've googled my fingers off and coming up empty, and im not a programmer so don't send me to #bash or whatnot :) [01:51] i was like wow, they took the time to cap lock the letters alternatively in my name? lol [01:51] * jakuphl proudly watches as a newcomer leans about the mystery of irc [01:52] eseven73: Try the utility that comes with mysql. "man mysqldump" for info. [01:52] cgkades: pidgin [01:52] eseven73: maybe try a mysql chan? [01:52] pidgin? maybe i'll try that to connect sometime [01:52] eseven73: If you dump the table, and tar.gz it, it's essentially the same as exporting the table as an archive. [01:52] ok [01:52] jakuphl: I still dunno how to transfer files over IRC. [01:52] jakuphl: I don't think I'm missing much :P [01:53] is there a way to automatically talk to the last one you just did?

[01:53] jakuphl: Swish is so arrogant that he does not answer to this question. [01:54] well I'm really not that good at this either. [01:54] cgkades: ya Pidgin is the msgr that came with Ubuntu by default, i loved it so much i uninstalled Windows Live MSGR on my windows OS and replaced it with Pidgin :) [01:54] chuck_, i want to set all users to the xserver default and then i want to modify the xserver default to what 1 user has === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| [01:54] so everyone & the login has what i have [01:54] bullgar4: maybe he did not see it...

[01:57] tase bem [01:57] Is there a graphical application I can use to create the certs needed for a website to run https (ssl)? [01:57] MaGicMaX: virtual machine?

[01:59] waht is the best os linux [01:59] also when i try to hibernate my computer displays information [01:59] jeropiga: depends on YOU [01:59] talking about btusb [01:59] cgkades: no, Ubuntu can browse the Windows partition on my HDD and i can load the torrents right from there, just a matter of setting up the torrent program in Ubuntu called "Transmission" to autoload torrents for that destination, and select the place u got the completed files [01:59] hello again...anyone got time for a question? [01:59] jeropiga: loads of good distros out their [02:00] there [02:00] i use ubuntu [02:00] jeropiga: the one that does that you need.. and only you can answer tht.. [02:00] jeropiga: yep which is a good one to start with, and to stay with for many Linux users [02:00] going for another try at hibernate... if anyone that may be following me has an idea while i'm out.. memo me [02:00] can anyone help me get my soundcard working? its detected in sound preferences correctly, but all i get is a hissing noise [02:00] MaGicMaX: yeah i use transmisission, it just sounded like you were running winows inside linux (which i do sometimes) [02:01] just try for the first time ever [02:01] anyone heard of "transset-df"? I use Crunchbang, btw... [02:01] cgkades: however, in my case i also have a 2nd HDD as well which i got access to from either OS [02:01] when i load my audio devices up i see that it has ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) but it is using the Intel HDA drivers. Are these the wrong drivers [02:01] looks good [02:01] welltb: yep, used it to set keybinding for transparent windows [02:01] bruce_: i'm just a nube, but maybe change sound from Alsa to OSS? [02:02] VCoolio: Cool....is the setting "permanent"? or does it only work for when the window is open...? [02:02] sorry...by setting i mean the transparency of the window...

[02:26] anyone using nouveau in 9.04 ? does it work ? [02:26] Does anyone know why songbird isn't in the repositories? [02:26] Thank you for helping me to turn off the splash screen. I added it to my Ubuntu tips page, with screenshots and everything. [02:26] VCoolio: its a .tar.gz not .deb :( [02:26] I was wondering the same thing, brassmaster. [02:26] Shivam: first google hit for 'install brushes gimp' --> http://www.katspace.org/graphics/digitart/brushes [02:26] space_cadet: search lp (& new bug report), I have no clue on that issue, sorry. [02:27] thanks doctor [02:27] MaT-dg: I don't know that that's true. I thought that newer versions of Kopete have video support [02:27] Shivam: http://meetthegimp.org also :) [02:27] MaT-dg: At the very least, Kopete now has a webcam calibration tool [02:27] MaGicMaX: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird [02:28] brassmaster1: true, so does amsn. However it never worked here, I can see the cam but it never connects to my friends. I suspect MS to change the protocol now and then. [02:28] interesting [02:28] ienorand, i just asked in #ubuntu+1 hopefully they can help [02:29] nog_lorp: strings /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so | grep g_mount_is_shadowed [02:29] MaT-dg, ok , yahI knew about multi-connect clients,was just wondering how emense or how eve you spell it works with video chats [02:29] thanks [02:30] anyone got any ideas on a replacement for SecureRemote client? [02:30] found [02:30] VCoolio: wow thx alot, i didnt know there was such a site, bookmarket for sure! [02:30] hbekel: its in there >< [02:30] does anybody have any experience with installing WoW on ubuntu 9.04 and a little time on their hands? [02:30] hbekel: now I'm more confused [02:31] martha_: emesene doesn't have video-chat (yet), but the devs are working on it. There is a nightly build that claims to be able to recieve webcam. [02:31] anyknow now how i would go about creating a keyboard shortcut to permanently delete a file without sending it to trash?

I'm a bit concerned about openoffice.org though - writer, calc, presentation, etc. have all disappeared [02:35] I think i have a set of bad reposotories can anyone help? [02:35] Tyrath: they should be installed by default [02:36] hbekel: http://pastebin.com/d42e2c75d [02:36] can some one help me out installing gyachi i have dependency problems [02:36] MaT-dg: nope. Well openoffice.org is installed, but it's progs aren't [02:36] MaT-dg: should I reinstall from source? [02:36] <]Spectre[> no ma'am,musicians [02:36] MaT-dg: or do you have a better idea?

[02:38] Anyone know a good hex editor for ubuntu? [02:38] ah [02:38] noglorp: one in /usr/lib/, one in /usr/local/lib/ [02:39] TonyTheTiger: vim is my favourite [02:39] Tyrath: what do u mean by 'reinstall from source'? Just reinstall them from the repo's [02:39] TonyTheTiger: it depends on what you want. if you want to program, vim, if you want rich text, openoffice.org [02:39] Tyrath: or in a terminal: sudo aptitude install openoffice.org [02:39] MaT-dg: i'll do that. thanks [02:39] MaGicMaX: sorry, no idea, can you open playlist files with text editor? [02:39] hbekel: not found [02:39] Tyrath, does that come as part of ubuntu, and i just need a hex editor to mod the comiz files to get the genie affect [02:40] rumpel2, can we talk private [02:40] hbekel: file exists in /usr/local/lib but doesn't have the symbol [02:40] >< [02:40] TonyTheTiger: yep, use vim [02:40] bleh, sure [02:40] noglorp: see, there's your problem [02:40] TonyTheTiger: oh actually [02:40] TonyTheTiger: if you don't know how to use vim, don't [02:40] hbekel: what should I do to fix it [02:40] firefox does host lookups extremely slowly, yet simply issuing "host hostname" in the console is quite quick, any idea why? and does 'host' use a host cache at all or does it always do a lookup? [02:40] TonyTheTiger: use gedit instead [02:40] Tyrath, cheers. [02:40] TonyTheTiger: but I'd recommend you learn how to use vim, it's very powerful :D [02:40] i see, whats ghex2? [02:41] !hostname | kinks [02:41] kinks: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [02:41] TonyTheTiger: only you'll have to know it's inbuild commands etc [02:41] Flannel: that has nothing to do with what I want. [02:41] hbekel: I'm guessing not just delete /usr/local/lib/libio... [02:41] noglorp: nope [02:41] noglorp: run sudo ldconfig [02:41] kinks: ah, sorry. Thought I read that as hostname host [02:41] MaT-dg: I'd already bound sudo apt-get install to i in terminal, so I'll use that instead :D [02:41] can anyone please assist me with ALSA microphone [02:41] sudo ldconfig [02:41] I'm referring to DNS lookups being done slowly in firefox. [02:41] lol whoops [02:41] Tyrath: result is the same :P [02:42] MaT-dg: it's really cool because I just type i followed by the prog name and it intals [02:42] but only on ubuntu [02:42] Under 9.04, how does one change the port for Remote Desktop? The option was removed from the GUI panel between 8.10 and 9.04 :( [02:42] so my amarok doesnt really work well does anyone know of a sister app thats almost just as good? [02:42] * ibeekman Insert emacs joke here.... [02:42] should I be able to connect to router by runing cable directly from adpater to Web port of router (to set up)? Ubuntu not seeing it. (Sees wireless) [02:42] Hello [02:42] hbekel: doesn't do anything [02:42] noglorp: that'S ok, now try running gnome-panel again [02:42] MaT-dg: I'd recommend you bind some aliases - makes life so easy :D [02:42] VCoolio: umm, i dont think i made playlist files... i just made playlists in winamp by selecting a directory :P [02:42] hbekel: same result [02:42] Is there any difference betwen puppy and ubuntu? I want to hear sounds right now [02:42] :D [02:43] Does anyone know if its possible to stream movies from Netflix using linux? [02:43] noglorp: try LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib gnome-panel [02:43] Pupuser402: go ask in #puppylinux :P [02:43] anybody have any experience with videocards overheating in Thinkpad T60 laptops? [02:43] Tyrath, You said I could use gedit for hex, it cant seem to open the file that i need to. [02:43] can anyone assists me with ALSA microphones [02:43] But ALSA wizard does not help with Envy24 and i dunno where to find driver for linuz [02:43] * for linux [02:43] :) [02:43] hbekel: great success [02:43] the second I watch hulu, etc. my machine starts burnin up then autoshutsdown [02:43] MaGicMaX: Go to File->Import a Playlist [02:43] hi === Pupuser402 is now known as Puppy [02:43] any .img burning software someone can recommend [02:43] hbekel: what do I do to make that permanent [02:44] ne one have a good hot to or a good channel for me to get some info on installing wow on ubuntu? [02:44] how do i make the "starting nvidia [fail]" go away on Ubuntu' [02:44] s start [02:44] i don't want to use nvidia drivers [02:44] MaGicMaX: I'm somewhat doubtful it will work though since your paths are different under ubuntu than they were under windows. [02:44] TonyTheTiger: I'd try vim. Do you mean hex as in hexidecimal? [02:45] yes [02:45] noglorp: please paste the contents of /etc/ld.so.conf [02:45] i just installed an intel x25m SSD. my bios sees it but the ubuntu 9.04 liveCD does not so I cant install. any ideas? [02:45] Hello, I need some help setting my locale. [02:45] Anyone know the commands to install ghex2? [02:45] Major problem trying to install Ubuntu for a friend... at the "Ready to Install" screen, but the "forward" button is off the screen so we can't proceed... Help Please! [02:45] TonyTheTiger: I'd try vim because it can do just about everything [02:45] how do i erase the nVidia drivers from this machien? [02:45] brassmaster1: ya, oh well thx anyway [02:45] I am trying to set my local to en_US.ISO-8859-1, because that is what I used previously with digikam, but it doesn't seem to be working. [02:45] is it preinstalled Tyrath ? [02:46] SpectralDesign: Hold the alt key and click and drag anywhere on the window to move it onto the screen [02:46] TonyTheTiger: I don't understand why you need a powerful text editor to work with hex tho :/ [02:46] im out guys, thx for the help! [02:46] TonyTheTiger: already installed yes :D [02:46] Tyrath: Consider emacs too.... [02:46] MaGicMaX: Did you try it? I'm not certain it won't work, just skeptical that it might now. [02:46] TonyTheTiger: Consider emacs too.... [02:46] *not [02:46] brassmaster1: thanks but that's not moving the window [02:46] how do u send specialized messages like that, the yellow text kind? [02:46] "include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf" [02:47] ibeekman: what's the advantage in that? I've always used vim ever since I first installed ubuntu ;) [02:47] * Dr_Willis dosent know what mrubcich means. [02:47] hbekel: "include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf" [02:47] it's like the installer thinks the screen is bigger than it realy is [02:47] ok, if you're comfortable with/like vim then by all means stick with it [02:47] lol [02:47] SpectralDesign: Are you in the full live environment, or did you boot directly into the installer? [02:47] Tiana: export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 what does that do? [02:47] there is a bit of a holy war between emacs and vim and I am on the emacs side [02:47] I'm having troubles watching flash movies, like youtube, in firefox. I have installed heaps of different things to try and fix it (the .deb from the adobe site, all the plug ins which firefox recommends when I try and play the movie, and some other things), but still no success. How can I fix this? [02:47] ibeekman: the only issue with vim I have is that it won't allow me to yank to the clipboard for some odd reason - but given I've just upgraded to ubuntu 9.04 i'll give it a crack and see what happens [02:47] hbekel: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.con has the line "/usr/local/lib" [02:48] TonyTheTiger: let me know how you go [02:48] noglorp: comment it out, then [02:48] Is there a command to check file by file for differences between 2 seperate, but in theory identical, partitians? [02:48] I like a lot of emacs features which may or may not have analogues in vim [02:48] brassmaster1: i booted straight to the installer [02:48] Tyrath, I have used vim before but this ubuntu vim is different to the unix one i used. [02:48] how can i get more free space? stupid ubuntu set up created partition of only 2.3 GB automatically without asking me [02:48] VCoolio: Do I put that in .bash_profile or .bashrc? [02:48] noglorp: but first, take a look at /usr/local/lib/, please. are there a lot of libs in there? [02:49] and the gui can let you explore things when you don't know the keybindings, etc. and don't want to read a manual [02:49] dmesg includes the line "ACPI Warning (nspredef-0852): \_SB_.PCIO.LPCB.LNKU._CRS: Return type mismatch - found Integer, expected Buffer [20080926]. What does LNKU mean? It might stand for 'Link U'. There are also kernel messages about LNKA to LNKH on this Ubuntu 9.04 computer. [02:49] redpearl: use livecd to play with gparted. [02:49] TonyTheTiger: the UNIX vim is probably vi - and this one is a lot more powerful :D [02:49] elexodus, mr. gparted is very dangerous. i am too chicken [02:49] SpectralDesign: Okay. That could be why your window won't move. I don't know (maybe someone else does) how much of the Gnome environment actually gets loaded when you install that way. [02:49] hbekel: a few [02:49] brassmaster1: its an old/slow comp so I wanted to avoid the live side... (celeron M with 192MB RAM) [02:49] Tiana: don't think that really matters, but you can put it in terminal first to check if it works (that will last current session) [02:49] Tyrath, yeh it is vi. [02:49] anyone using nouveau driver for nvidia cards, instead of nvidia restricted ? [02:49] redpearl: it's what you used while installing. [02:49] yo [02:49] hbekel: maybe 10 libs [02:49] Tyrath: for instance emacs will integrate with version control software, allow you to edit remote files fairly transparently as if they were local, etc. [02:50] SpectralDesign: Understandable. Might be better to use the alternate CD. [02:50] Is there a command to check file by file for differences between 2 seperate, but in theory identical, partitians? [02:50] i made a mistake, how do i disable emerald and get back to compiz fusion [02:50] elexodus, yes. but i need to repartition. [02:50] elexodus, no space to repartition. shrink partition safe? [02:50] ibeekman: vim ftp://blah - allows me to do the same - or are you implying something else? [02:50] VCoolio: yes, this works fine in a terminal. I need this to work on the desktop. [02:50] brassmaster1: i didnt see a link to an "alternate" cd... ill go looking more, thanks! [02:50] how do i know whats the wireless network card is named on my computer ? eth0 is the cable one [02:50] redpearl: why don 't you just take the unused space, and create a seperate partitian for your media/data? [02:50] how can i find out if i have this installed? Compiz 0.5.5~git20070921+3v1ubuntu0 installed [02:50] elexodus, md5sum [02:50] !md5sum [02:50] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [02:51] noglorp: you might make sure that these exist in /usr/lib/ too before telling the dynamic linker to ignore /usr/local/lib [02:51] is there any way to continue using apt-get on gutsy? [02:51] SpectralDesign: Before you do, realize that what I'm referring to is a text-based installer. If that's not going to be friendly enough for you, I wouldn't waste your time. [02:51] Tiana: get root privileges and then add a line to /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile [02:51] hbekel: okay [02:51] So today I was applying for a job online and there was a drop down box full of certifications to select if you qualify and to my surprise one of them was an Ubuntu cert. Didn't even know there was one. [02:51] hbekel: thanks [02:51] I can't view youtube videos in firefox, yet I have installed the .deb package from the adobe site which youtube links me to, and I have installed the plugins which firefox recommends me. Any help? [02:51] noglorp: after you edited those files, run sudo ldconfig again [02:51] brassmaster1: nah im okay with a text install.. better than no install at all! :) [02:51] elexodus, i don't have unused partition space. live cd screwed my /dev/sda when it increased my 30 gb to 150 gb, and created a new 2.3 gb partition for ubuntu 9.04 [02:51] ibeekman: is the openoffice.org the same as the openoffice.org3 package? [02:51] hbekel: kay [02:51] usser_: how would the command look? ? [02:52] SpectralDesign: Okay, here you are then: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate [02:52] ibeekman: I have to reinstall because when I dist-upgraded it gave me a corrupt version [02:52] hbekel: they all seem to be present [02:52] ibeekman: well actually it wasn't corrupt, it just didn't have writer,calc etc installed [02:52] brassmaster1: thanks again! [02:52] redpearl: your 30GB isn't a 150GB? [02:52] hbekel: breat [02:52] SpectralDesign: no problem [02:52] hbekel: great* [02:52] mrubcich: test [02:52] lol [02:52] Tyrath: well you can use whatever protocol you like ssh etc, to be honest it's possible that vim can do most things emacs can, this vim vs emacs issue is a bit of a holy war, I side with emacs (partially out of ignorance I admit) but you can essentially program it to do nearly anything you like [02:52] hbekel: gonna restart gdm [02:53] Rob235: check out fusion-icon, nice systray icon to change these kind of things [02:53] ok thanks [02:53] ibeekman: I could give it a shot, but I've been using vim for nearly a whole year now :) [02:54] ibeekman: then again, I'm not exactly a linux pro [02:54] ibeekman: but I do program, and vim provides a nice programming interface [02:54] Tyrath: for example I can split windows vertically and horizontally, can compile codes from inside emacs, can open a shell in one of the window panes and execute commands, etc etc. [02:55] Tyrath: yeah the learning curve may be slightly steeper than vim but I found it rewarding. [02:55] ibeekman: when you say compile code from instide emacs - do you mean emacs does it for you, or you can simply run terminal commands from inside emacs [02:55] If only I were that awesome. I stick to GUI tools. My current favorite for Ubuntu is Geany. [02:56] ibeekman: also that split screen stuff can be done in vim :) [02:56] I recently spent a ridiculous amount of time using Xcode in MacOS and found that to be a fairly pleasant experience as well [02:56] ibeekman: in vim I can type !g++ blah.o -o blah [02:57] ibeekman: or !javac blah.java [02:57] What is the current thinking on getting a working proprietary ati driver in jaunty [02:57] When I go into a .sh file , under the TEXT heading.....exactly what /language/ is that? [02:57] zutme: Already exists if you have the right hardware, doesn't it? [02:57] brassmaster1, well it performs like crap imo [02:57] zutme: What card do you have? [02:58] hd 3600 series [02:58] ibeekman: unfortunately, vim is still not letting me yank to the clipboard tho :/ [02:58] TonyTheTiger: how are you going? [02:58] i get the message "Killed" when i try and run firefox from the shell. firefox runs fine when i execute it from the guest account. what would cause this? [02:59] Tyrath, I just installed bless :) [02:59] gah the openoffice.org package is the old openoffice :/ [02:59] I need some help. [02:59] !info bless [03:00] bless (source: bless): A full featured hexadecimal editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.2-1.2ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 473 kB, installed size 1196 kB [03:00] !info bless > TonyTheTiger [03:00] zutme: Interesting. Your hardware is supposed to be supported under the new fglrx. I've got an x1600. fglrx doesn't work for me anymore. [03:00] I just installed ubuntu on my laptop and I need some help getting WIFI to work [03:00] Tyrath: yeah in emacs I just do M-m (meta - m) and then the command defaults to make (which you can edit it the first time in the mini-buffer and then subsequent M-m presses will execute your modified compile command). [03:00] brassmaster1, Well I mena the driver "works" but performance in compiz is pitiful [03:01] Also about openoffice, I don't see openoffice.org3 [03:01] * Tyrath is hating how he has to continuously install/uninstall :/ [03:01] Hi, is it normal that my HD doesn't respect values defined using hdparm -S ? [03:01] How would I go about removing DRM from a .wmv file? [03:02] Tyrath: you should just be able to search for openoffice.org-writer [03:02] etc. [03:02] Under Ubuntu, like, is there anything built into gstreamer or the terminal? [03:02] zutme: Was it working better pre-Jaunty? [03:02] ibeekman: if I can't get this yank thing to work I might consider emacs. Otherwise I think I'll stick with vim - just cause I don't want to have to learn new commands, etc. :P but thanks :) [03:02] Tyrath: also emacs doesn't give me any clipboard yank issues ;-P [03:02] haha yeah fair enough [03:02] ibeekman: yeah, but neither does gedit :) [03:02] brassmaster1, never used ubuntu on this box before jaunty, but in fedora yes [03:02] GodfatherofEire: Unfortunately no. The common wisdom on linux is to avoid DRM whenever possible. [03:02] GodfatherofEire: searched once, found nothing. It sucks and we should keep away from it [03:03] Tyrath: Yeah I actually quite like gedit for simple things [03:03] I know, I'm trying to === max is now known as Guest96503 [03:03] ibeekman: only problem with gedit is it requires gnome to run :/ [03:03] How can I share my pulseaudio device? [03:03] zutme: I know that there were pretty significant changes to fglrx to make it work with the new x server in jaunty [03:03] ibeekman: so if I don't log into gnome it's going to be a problem [03:03] zutme: probably there's some stuff that isn't quite there. [03:04] can some one help me with dependencies [03:04] Tyrath: true, are you a kde person? Or you just log into the terminal without the desktop environment [03:04] brassmaster1, I've heard that fglrx included is beta [03:04] * Tyrath wishes removing the openoffice.org package would just remove the whole thing :/ [03:04] bleh: what dependancies [03:04] zutme: That would explain a lot. [03:04] ibeekman: I love movies and games so need the desktop [03:05] so what's the issue with gedit then? [03:05] ibeekman: also unfortunately, the way the web2/3 is designed these days I need a graphic pwermitting browser [03:05] Tyrath: Also why are you removing packages? can't you just install openoffice.org-writer [03:06] ibeekman: only issue is when I want to conserve resources and lay off gnome-desktop [03:06] ibeekman, if i give you vnc access can you help me [03:06] ibeekman: is it really openoffice.org-writer or openoffice.org3-writer? [03:06] yeah, well my laptop from 07 seems to run everything fine even with added compiz effects etc. [03:06] are there no more repositories for gutsy? [03:06] bleh: Dependencies for what? [03:07] ibeekman: yeah, mines not that fast, especially when I upload games [03:07] brassmaster1, im tryiing to install gyachi [03:07] ibeekman: moreso when I upload games [03:07] ibeekman: but the games play fine [03:07] bleh: I've never used vnc so not sure how helpful that will be [03:07] !gutsy [03:07] Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [03:07] ibeekman: unfortunately blueray movies don't play great :/ [03:07] ibeekman: but I've yet to try them on ubuntu 9.04 and see what happens [03:07] xyblor, eol was april 18th, yep the repos are offline [03:07] could someone tell me what "Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device" means when trying to get pictures off my camera? [03:07] Tyrath: my chief complaint now is that my ati card seems to overheat when watching movies [03:08] usser_: thanks. dang. [03:08] ibeekman, its a remote assistance tool [03:08] but as far as I can tell that's not a resource issue but more of a hardware issue or problem with the driver [03:08] ibeekman: with mplayer for example, to play an .m2ts file (blueray file) i had to put fps on 50 for it to play normally [03:08] ibeekman: ack, just with 9.04? [03:08] yay !!!! [03:08] i fixed it!!! [03:08] kinda [03:09] it resumes now though... [03:09] ibeekman: I tell you what I hated 8.10 - should have never upgraded from hardy [03:09] Tyrath: No but I think it is worse now than in 8.10 [03:09] bleh: I realize now that you've been here for a while. Can you show me the sorts of errors you were having? [03:09] bullgard4, I let the channel know I was going back to work, and you so callously accuse me of being too arrogant to answer your question?! [03:09] Tyrath: why? [03:09] ibeekman: i'll definately test that out [03:09] ibeekman: I had so many problems in iex [03:09] ibeekman: *ibex [03:09] bleh: figured as much, seems to me that its like some remote desktop software or something [03:09] yes [03:09] !vnc [03:09] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [03:09] bullgard4, The verb "to slashdot" means to put an article on the slashdot.net site and have lots of users visit the site at one time (frequently causing overloads) [03:09] How do you exit fullscreen mode on vinagre on jaunty? [03:10] look it up man [03:10] Loganhoup: what program do you use to get your pictures? [03:10] It's supposed ot be F10 or F11 but neither work [03:10] brassmaster1: Yes I figured as much [03:10] hbekel: I got this error from nautilus [03:10] is there a way to take a screen shot the current window and not the entire desktop ? [03:10] Bleh: will I need additional software installed? [03:10] hbekel: just got a camera today. [03:10] desktop = screen ? [03:10] Swish: Thank you very much for explaining. [03:10] Tyrath: how do you plan to "test that out"? [03:10] shiznebit, System - Preferences - Keyboard shortcuts. its in there [03:10] :] [03:10] i have a problem with my dvd rom drive mounting [03:11] ibeekman, sudo apt-get install vnc4viewer [03:11] it seems that it this issue is probably quite hardware specific [03:11] it always says that there is no media in it, and that it cant mount [03:11] bleh can you tell me a little more about your issue first? [03:11] ibeekman: I'll just play a .m2ts file on mplayer/vlc and see what happes [03:12] oh lol I was doing right Alt + Prnt Scrn [03:12] but it's left Alt+ Prnt Scrn [03:12] what does this mean?? mmc0: Reset 0x4 never completed. [03:12] stumped: it's a permissions problem possibly, find out about /etc/fstab [03:13] space_cadet: you got a built in sd card reader? i thought mmc0 refered to those things. [03:13] yeah === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [03:13] i looked and it has cdrom0 witch is my cd burner but nothing for my dvd. [03:13] where do i find Advanced Desktop Effects Settings ? [03:13] Dr_Willis, it happens many times on hibernate now [03:13] i used the dmesg command [03:13] space_cadet: i could be wrong. :) but some times those slot/readers are... quirky. I had to tweak some things to get them working on my Netbook [03:13] Dr_Willis, i got it to work though [03:13] could someone tell me what "Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device" means when trying to get pictures off my camera? [03:13] ibeekman: unfortunately, mplayer no longer plays .m2ts files :( [03:13] space_cadet: is this a netbook? [03:14] and it noticed it but nothing doing on the mounting [03:14] Dr_Willis, it's an asus m70vm-x1 [03:14] Dr_Willis, i had to add resume=UUID=blah blah to the kernel options [03:14] Tyrath: yes but I think my overheating issues are specific to my ahrdware and the driver provided by ubuntu [03:14] ibeekman: ack :/ [03:14] Loganhoup: check if the camera has a setting for the transfer mode, and wether it's set to PTP or USB. you'll need a PTP for natuilus as it seems [03:14] space_cadet: theres some known Bugs/issues with hibernate and sd card/slots/readers on many laptops/netbooks. I recall some cases where the sd card lost data. So watch out. [03:14] can i just add it to fstab, and if so how? [03:15] ok, if it helps I have a nikon coolpix 230. [03:15] Dr_Willis, i don't use it (sd reader) except for once in a while so it shouldn't be a problem [03:15] stumped: check in /media if the drive is even recognized. if so, you can mount it [03:15] where do i find Advanced Desktop Effects Settings ? [03:15] ibeekman: which openoffice.org came with jaunty? [03:16] ibeekman: 3 or 3.1? [03:16] ugh, i installed the compiz-icon thing but now when i log in it asks me everytime to run compiz -fusion [03:16] Dr_Willis, now... if i leave "resume=UUID=blahblah" in my kernel options in menu.lst should it be a problem if i don't hibernate?? like just straight power down? [03:16] space_cadet: no idea. I make it a point to never use resume/hibernate/suspend. :) too many bad memories... and weird problems [03:16] or will it look for the resume image, not find it, and resume normal boot [03:16] lol [03:17] ok.. well i will try it now. [03:17] brb [03:17] space_cadet: plus my netbook boots in.. like 20 sec. :) [03:17] ok it notices that it is a cdrom/dvdrom, and everytime i attempt to mount it from the menu, it comes back with an error stating that there is no media in the drive and it cant mount. will do this for both cds and dvd data disks. [03:17] bleh: You should start by getting libasound2-dev [03:17] then see what your next error is. [03:18] bleh: then see what it asks for next [03:18] vista notices the disks just fine [03:18] Armageddon: I guess that is system > preferences > compizconfig settings manager? [03:18] Tyrath: 3.0 [03:18] VCoolio: yes that was it :/ i dont know on the website they called it that, thanks anyway :D [03:19] bleh: The basic problem here is that you are missing a bunch of dev packages. Everytime it tells you it can't find something, you need to search for a package of that program with dev in the name [03:20] bleh: i tend to do 'shotgun' approach to that and install about every -dev i can find that looks related. :) === Tetracomm is now known as heavybeetle [03:20] Dr_Willis, oh and btw, usb works after hibernate just fine... [03:20] bleh: it pays to have a large hard drive. :) [03:20] ibeekman: I'm going to try 3.1 - always good to have the latest anyway [03:20] * space_cadet hibernates [03:20] * Dr_Willis powers down [03:21] Is there 64bit web browser for ubuntu [03:22] * space_cadet has resumed [03:22] reinolds2: firefox [03:22] stumped: in /etc/fstab find or create a line to mount with permissions for user. Like: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [important is the user part, maybe that's set as root now?] [03:22] * Gnea hits the breaker [03:23] I add the following 4 lines of code to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default after a fresh Apache2 install, and i cant seem to access my machine via https:// after doing that.... i have a cert made and everything.. it even asks me for the passphrase on apache restart http://www.mibbit.com/pb/Nruaal [03:23] Tyrath: GL [03:23] ibeekman: thanks :) [03:24] nope firefox only has 64bit for windows [03:24] linux_noob: Did you enable ssl? (a2enmod ssl) [03:24] and it is worse than 64bit ie btw [03:24] does anyone know the exact package name of latex so that i can apt-get install it? [03:24] host name resolution is extremely slow in firefox, ipv6 is entirely disabled as far as I can tell, issuing 'host foo' gives a much faster response than firefox (or..any web browser I've tried), any ideas as to why? [03:25] linux_noob: oh, also, did you add 443 to your ports.conf? [03:25] flannel, yes [03:25] flannel let me check on 443 in ports one sec [03:25] kinks, you have to disable ipv6 in firefox [03:25] it is [03:25] kinks, about:config [03:25] Guest54688: try just typing 'latex' in the terminal.. it tells you the package name... [03:25] and it didn't help at all. [03:25] hmm [03:25] ipv6 is disabled on the entire OS [03:25] kinks, pipelining? [03:25] Guest54688: texlive* [03:25] Dr_Willis, it gives me far too many names and i cant see to find the right one [03:25] Flannel, thx [03:25] Guest54688: (don't install that) [03:25] kinks, firefox still tries to find ipv6 dns servers [03:25] Guest54688: I just see the one package listed here. [03:25] Flannel, dont install what? [03:25] The program 'latex' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [03:25] sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base [03:25] kinks: did you install any addons? [03:26] regardless, it's disabled in both. [03:26] Guest54688: If you install texlive* you'll have a billion packages. [03:26] Guest54688: now you may want more thenjust that. [03:26] !tex [03:26] tex is a language for describing a document, commonly used especially for scientific publishing. Information and instructions for installing TeX and other related packages can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX [03:26] flannel, i have something along the lines of IfModule mod_ssl.c .... Listen 443 (this is in my ports.conf) [03:26] Guest54688: but, just install 'texlive' and you'll get the default [03:26] kinks, pipelining? [03:26] Gnea: yes, but it only modifies the look - personas, so I doubt that's it [03:26] space_cadet: I have no idea what you're referring to [03:26] Flannel, so sudo apt-get install texlive will allow me to view what i need latex to view? [03:27] kinks, do you use network.http.pipelining? [03:27] kinks: so, specifically, just themes you've added, nothing else? [03:27] Guest54688: What are you trying to view? [03:27] kinks if so, what do you have your max servers set at? [03:27] space_cadet: not that I'm aware of? I'm guessing if I don't know what that is, the answer is no. [03:27] TeX and LaTex are rather.. amazing :) whats even more amazing.. i used them in college.. like.. a long time ago.. [03:27] kinks, google "firefox pipeline the right way" [03:27] Flannel, some math .mem file in mnemosyne that needs latex and dvipng or sumtin [03:27] is a have a package that is packaged for a different kernel, may I alter that package to work for a new kernel? ex. 2.6.20 -2.6.28 [03:27] Gnea: yes [03:28] kinks: how big is your profile directory? [03:28] how do i check my file system ? [03:28] flannel, im following a tutorial to enable https (https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html) . Does "isntalling a certificate" consist of just making it and copying it into teh right folder? [03:28] !fsck | lukavia [03:28] lukavia: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

[03:29] Flannel, k, thank u, im leaving it downloading and im going to bed [03:29] whats the best kind of vmware to use with ubuntu? I've heard of a couple different names and Id ont know where to start. [03:29] Gnea: I'm assuming you mean ~/.mozilla, as I see no actual 'profile' directory [03:29] kinks, plus if you can change your dns servers to 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3 and 4.2.2.4 it will help a lot [03:29] hbekel: I couldn't find a setting in my camera for such, but it works fine in f-spot. Thanks anyways. [03:29] Roasted: i like 'virtualbox' :) but that s me [03:29] space_cadet: already changed dns servers - dns issued locally is fine, browsers have an issue [03:29] kinks: it's not that - it's ~/.mozilla/firefox/*SOMETHING*.default/ [03:29] lukavia@ubuntu:~$ fsck [03:29] fsck 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009) [03:29] e2fsck 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009) [03:29] WARNING!!!

Do this: `sudo touch /forcefsck` and then reboot [03:30] Gnea: I'm pretty sure none of that effects how long it takes firefox to look up a host :/ [03:30] kinks: okay, try clearing the cache through firefox preferences and restart [03:30] dr_willis - now wait... x86? Not for 64 bit? [03:30] Roasted: i mainly use it to test 'live cd's' [03:30] Gnea: it's cleared on exit.. [03:30] Roasted: im running it on a 64bit ssytem now.. [03:30] kinks: i'm willing to bet that it *does* [03:30] ah okay [03:30] lukavia: No, don't run it. Do this: `sudo touch /forcefsck` and then reboot [03:30] thank you sir [03:30] kinks, i'm just saying that this isnt a bad ping stat on 4.2.2.2 http://egonitron.com/2007/05/25/the-truth-about-the-firefox-pipelining-trick/ [03:30] arrgh [03:30] Roasted: thats not what the box said.. :) it is a x86 virtualizder.. :) not x86 only.

[03:31] kinks: okay, then what is taking up 50+megs? hrm? check the *.sqlite files in there [03:31] flannel, k === linkd is now known as Bigshot [03:31] dr_willis - Yeah, I just wanted to clarify. [03:31] arvind_khadri: http://paste.ubuntu.com/167381/ [03:31] linux_noob: but, yes. You can reboot remotely. (if you already did `sudo touch /forcefsck`, you can `sudo rm /forcefsck`) [03:32] flannel k done [03:32] and "host google.com" is about as fast as firefox > google.com [03:32] kinks: i had the same problem - found over 120megs of .sqlite files in there that did nothing useful, other than slow things down - moved them out of the way and started firefox back up , and boom, it was going straight to the sites again [03:32] arvind_khadri: i want to see if i use ext4 [03:32] lukavia: Erm.. Why did you hit 'yes'? Did you read the factoid ubottu sent you? [03:32] have any of you guys ever had the backgroud display "alldaylong" [03:33] its really cool its a phasing background that cycles with the time of the day [03:33] kinks: the problem, is that firefox loads those files into memory - and if you have 512MB or less of ram, it's going to lag the system [03:33] anyhow people, I'm off [03:33] im looking for some more cool backgrounds like that anyone know of any? [03:33] thanks for the tips :) [03:33] Flannel: i want to see if i use ext4 [03:33] kinks, i would still say change your dns servers to the four fastest in the world [03:33] 4.2.2.x [03:34] I want to know how do I make my ext3 to ext4 [03:34] could anyone point me to a resource to setup https? i follow the steps in the link at the end of this line and get "connection interrupted while page was loading" https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html [03:35] is there a way to see the command from compiz-icon for reload window manager [03:35] depends on which window manager Rob235 [03:35] Gnea: starting with a fresh profile has no effect === Bigshot is now known as kuuhey [03:35] like... metacity --reload [03:35] Rob235: metacity --replace ¿¿ === kuuhey is now known as linkd [03:35] kinks: what's your cpu/mem?

[03:43] i need to remount my filesystem to write,it is a wubi install the command i was given didnt work what should i change (the part in quotes) sudo mount -n -o remount,rw "/media/disk " to for a wubi install? or another way of asking is what is the address for the hard disk in wubi, i think you know what im getting at even if im not very eloquent. [03:44] kinks, or try this... sudo apt-get install lynx then run lynx (in your terminal) and open (g) whatever site you think may be slow in firefox... [03:44] Laurenceb: what are you actually trying to do/build? [03:44] Flash flickers for me. Please help. (intel card, 9.04) [03:44] http://www.pjrc.com/arm/lpc2k_pgm/ [03:45] PlasmaSheep: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/368112 [03:45] kinks, lynx is a text based command line web browser. [03:45] Quick question: I'm running gidentd on my ubuntu 8.04 server (yes I haven't upgraded yet) and I would like for it to listen on only one of my IP addresses. The problem is that the gidentd.conf file says that it's just a place holder. Is there no way to change the default behaviour of gidentd and what IP it binds to? [03:45] compizconfig manager does nothing, i click it and nothing happens [03:45] it said that /media/disk was not found or no such thing in some file [03:45] Can you not su in Ubuntu? [03:46] jawall, you can sudo su [03:46] regjava, You forward ports thru the router you have to have admin rights to ie [03:46] yeah I got that [03:46] but that isn't root [03:46] how do you root? [03:46] Laurenceb: yeah, that apparently really is gtk-1-only. See the instructions in the README.txt [03:46] ah [03:46] !root | jawall [03:46] jawall: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:46] mzz: could i just install gtk 1 ? [03:46] Laurenceb: yes, as mentioned by vertagano [03:46] Well I wouldn't say impossible... :) [03:46] k, thanks [03:47] Why do they do that? [03:47] kinks: okay, then I don't see how the problem is hardware *or* ipv6 related. have you tried running a network sniffer other than tcpdump, like etherape to see if it's pointing elsewhere? [03:47] dunno [03:47] xGeek: well, you can set it. Guessing the default is probably impossible :) [03:47] I assume it makes installs easier,, but still,,, limits Ubuntu capabilites [03:47] jawall: how so? [03:47] Nobody has any experience with gidentd? [03:47] jawall: if you disagree strongly you can just set a root password [03:47] ubottu: lol! [03:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about lol! [03:47] well it bypasses having to ask the user a bunch of questions,, I guess [03:48] chuck_: i have the rights [03:48] jawall: I don't see how it "limits Ubuntu capabilities" at all though. It's not like what sudo -i gives you is less rooty than what logging in as root directly gives you. [03:48] like what is your password? [03:48] Hi, all. [03:48] anybody have much knowlege about wubi? got a few spare minutes? [03:48] So Ubuntu isn't completely open source? [03:48] !anyone | AJNpa80 [03:48] AJNpa80: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:48] jawall: err, where'd you get that idea? [03:48] !wubi | AJNpa80 [03:48] AJNpa80: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [03:48] Thank Gnea. I already asked. [03:48] brassmaster1: what do I do though? [03:49] Anymore automated responses you'd like to send my way. [03:49] depends on what you need [03:49] guys, my ubuntu crashed and now its not getting into the login page [03:49] xGeek: no, you asked if anyone here has experience with gidentd - that's not a properly formed question - what is your issue with gidentd? [03:49] I'm installing Ubuntu on a fresh hard drive. I want to set up encrypted LVM, but inside that I'd like to have separate /home and root partitions. Is this possible from the Alternate Install CD? [03:49] Armageddon: Where does it get stuck? [03:49] PlasmaSheep: Probably wait for it to be fixed, which based on the grim assessment of the bug's importance looks like it might take a while. [03:49] brassmaster1: terrific. Well, thanks anyway. [03:50] Gnea: I did. If you scrolled up you would see my question. My question is can I bind gidentd to a specific IP address since gidentd.conf says that it's just a place holder. [03:50] !attitude | xGeek [03:50] xGeek: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:50] what's a dual boot? [03:50] I am having trouble with Ubuntu. Whenever I suspend, then come out of suspension, the screen will remain black. [03:50] TimMc: lvm with separate /home and root is possible iirc. I'm not sure about the encryption bit. [03:50] PlasmaSheep: Before you resign yourself to accepting that though, is your chipset the chipset they mentioned? [03:50] I'M BLIND [03:50] attitude? [03:50] !dualboot | Linuz2009 [03:50] Linuz2009: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [03:50] Gnea: ... [03:50] Sometimes, I can press alt + f4, and it'll work, but sometimes it doesn't. [03:50] why always so condescending ubottu? like a preschool teacher you talk down to me like a child. [03:50] xGeek: i'm not sure about that, it's been awhile since i installed it. hrm, i could possibly see.. [03:50] vertagano: let me tell you what happened, i was installing a widget which needed a fix in compiz, i was writting the option in compiz and the desktop env. crashed so i forced a restart and it was still off. so i went into recovery mode and tried to autofix the graphic card, so now its stuck on the loading page, with distorted graohics [03:50] LOL! [03:51] AJNpa80, ubottu is a bot ... [03:51] !ubottu [03:51] 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 [03:51] regjava, This is the guide I used to forward ports for vuze it worked for me http://portforward.com/ [03:51] If I install another ubuntu variant, can I have two boot sessions? [03:51] you are guilty of the same [03:51] mzz: It seems that encrypted LVM doesn't allow further partitioning. [03:51] * Gnea notes that it's actually in /etc/gidentd/ [03:51] AJNpa80: Ask better questions, get better answers. [03:51] just installed ubuntu on asus laptop running vista ; any ideas how to increase the size of the ubuntu partition - run out of space! [03:51] Under 9.04, how does one change the port for Remote Desktop? The option was removed from the GUI panel between 8.10 and 9.04 :( [03:51] Linuz2009: Yeah. Don't dualboot, just install the metapackage. Then you'll choose at login. [03:51] AJNpa80: get past the guilt and solve the real problem [03:51] Like installing xubuntu and ubuntu both at my computer? [03:52] trying [03:52] jazzlamb, scandisk defrag windows [03:52] brassmaster1: nope. [03:52] Armageddon: If you switch to the tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1), do you see any useful messages? [03:52] chuck_: can i PM you? [03:52] TimMc: I have zero experience with encrypted lvm (or encrypted partitions for that matter) [03:52] jazzlamb, then boot to the live cd, and use partition editor [03:52] how would i enable it for the other users on my computer to be able to add/remove applications? [03:52] vertagano: i didnt try, should i restart ? [03:52] Flannel: I can choose what OS should I login? [03:52] regjava, ok [03:52] space, already did that, partition is created [03:52] jazzlamb, but SCANDISK, DEFRAG WINDOWS FIRST ( sorry bout the caps all) [03:52] Anybody have any ideas why suspension may be broken on my system? [03:52] AJNpa80: we're all friends here. [03:52] PlasmaSheep: What is your graphics chipset? [03:52] Armageddon: I would just try switching while it's stuck on the distorted graphics. [03:52] Linuz2009: They're both the same OS. But yes, you choose which GUI you want at the login screen [03:52] 3 months of trouble shooting in my spare time to get ubuntu running on a averatec laptop, only machine i havent been able to get running [03:53] xGeek: that's pretty odd, have you searched google at all? now you've got me interested... [03:53] EoL, check your APCI settings in your BIOS [03:53] jazzlamb, and just outta curiousity, which model asus u got? [03:53] vertagano: ok brb [03:53] acpi [03:53] apci [03:53] Flannel: it won't slow down computer, will it? [03:53] AJNpa80: It's difficult for anyone to tell you anything useful if you don't give detailed descriptions of the problems you're having. [03:53] Update Manager used to notify me when there were updated packages; since dist-upgrading to 9.04 it has stopped. Any suggestions? [03:53] brassmaster1: I believe it's this? 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [03:53] Linuz2009: Nope, just takes up more harddrive space. [03:53] anyone help my, i installed compizconfig manager and it doesnt do anything when i try to launch it. [03:53] asus m51 [03:54] jazzlamb, m70vm-x1 [03:54] Linuz2009: install one (such as ubuntu) and then install the metapackage of the other (xubuntu-desktop) through your favorite package manager (such as sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop) [03:54] Gnea: Yeah. It defaults to ipv6 (which is fine) and the gidentd.conf file clearly states (this is just a place holder). *shrug* I guess I could find a different identd program. I don't want anything serving on an IP that it's not needed on. [03:54] TonyTheTiger: try doing 'ccsm' from a terminal. [03:54] jazzlamb, my ubuntuforums id is mikahgiacchetti.. i have some threads on there if you have problems with turning off bluetooth, or whatever. [03:54] TonyTheTiger: and pastebin the output. [03:54] PlasmaSheep: The fact that you are having issues like that without compiz running seems to me to be a bad omen. [03:54] Hello, having a minor problem, and need a hand please. -- Problem: trying to go to fullscreen in totem but the gnome panels don't auto hide. .... any ideas? [03:54] im having some trouble unmounting cds from the cd rom drive. my drive is empty, but I show a cd on my desktop that I used earlier today. "right click" > unmount media produces an error "unable to mount media, there is probably no media in the drive" even tried a few commands in terminal.. whats next? [03:54] brassmaster1: yeah, probably. [03:55] i think it is at least. [03:55] Question: before I boot into fluxbox, I can run alsamixer and it detects my soundcard, during my boot to fluxbox somehow that connection is lost and I can no longer run alsamixer, any ideas? [03:55] August23rd: using what wm? [03:55] xGeek: yeah, just saw that... well, i tend to only run gidentd on servers, which is where i tend to place firewalls, so I would just tweak my firewall a bit [03:55] linux_noob: ah, you still having a problem with https I see. honestly I think something between you and the ubuntu machine is causing this. [03:55] FWilhelm: I was hoping you wouldn't say that. I despise messing with my BIOS. [03:55] August23rd: if compiz I suspect it's misconfigured somehow [03:55] mzz: using gnome, normal mode [03:55] linux_noob: almost sounds like a proxy [03:55] jazzlamb, scratchthat... my id is mgiacchetti. [03:55] Gnea: I guess I could block it using iptables, but that seems like a bad hack. [03:55] xGeek: if it's a desktop, then i'd do the same there if i had multi-ips [03:55] PlasmaSheep, http://pastebin.com/d53fbc5c5 [03:55] August23rd: try with desktop effects off (aka metacity instead of compiz)? [03:55] August23rd: (or vice versa) [03:55] jazzlamb, http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=564414 [03:55] FWilhelm: What should I check it for? [03:55] xGeek: it is, but it gets the job done [03:55] i have tried many times, i switched to less detailed to try to snag people, i got hit with the bot for writing to much and no one replied i also decided to ask about individual things im doing step by step [03:56] thanks space [03:56] mzz - assuming apt-get install metacity [03:56] TonyTheTiger: try sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager gnome-art usplash startupmanager compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra emerald librsvg2-common fusion-icon [03:56] xGeek: i would just deny access to * on port 113 and then open it up to just that ip [03:56] bc: think you can help me? [03:56] August23rd: metacity is installed by default (if you use gnome (regular ubuntu, not kubuntu/xubuntu)) [03:56] Gnea: Thanks man. [03:56] so here goes [03:56] the way you avoid the bot is by writing longer lines. Don't punctuate your thoughts with returns. [03:56] xGeek: cheers [03:56] how do i switch? [03:56] linux_noob: install elinks on the ubuntu machine, and try to access https://localhost with elinks and see if it sports the same behavior [03:57] August23rd: turning off desktop effects under "appearance" in the prefs [03:57] AJNpa80: Put as much of the problem in one post as possible so it's grouped and it's easy to follow. [03:57] bc, linux_noob: use w3m, it's already installed. [03:57] AJNpa80: This is a busy channel, no one will follow your thoughts through the newlines. [03:57] bcmorr2: add alsamixer call to $HOME/.xsession instead [03:57] I recently upgraded to Jaunty and when I did my keyboard acts odd while in games. It is like I am tapping the "move forward" key instead of holding it down. My little guy jerks around doing a kind of half step instead of a fluid walk. Any ideas? [03:57] it told me to send a link instead of writing a book [03:57] PlasmaSheep, AJNpa80: exactly. [03:57] mzz giving it a shot, will try dvd again [03:57] PlasmaSheep, it said compizconfig is already the newest version [03:57] AJNpa80: you have to be flexible if you want to get anywhere [03:57] ok [03:58] ok, like i have a problem or two with my os, and when i go to the support channel, nobody responds [03:58] What is an easy way (noob friendly) to record my desktop? [03:58] bc: just that line? $HOME/.xsession? [03:58] TonyTheTiger: is that all? [03:58] brassmaster1: exactly what? [03:58] AJNpa80: Describe your problem inline in the chat [03:58] bc: also, if I sudo alsamixer in my WM it will pull up but not as my user account [03:58] !screencast | l3iohazard [03:58] bcmorr2: better question is why you are running alsa mixer before you launch fluxbox [03:58] l3iohazard: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [03:58] PlasmaSheep, and E: Couldn't find package gnome-art [03:58] PlasmaSheep, but thats it. [03:58] mzz thanks did the trick [03:58] AJNpa80: Paste errors and output to a pastebin [03:58] bc: to see if it was working before I logged into flux [03:58] AJNpa80: paste.ubuntu.com [03:58] FWilhelm: Does your keyboard act normal in other situations? Like, if you hold down the "a" key, does it delay for a bit, and then start repeating? [03:58] bc: because it wasn't working in flux [03:58] TonyTheTiger: try sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra librsvg2-common fusion-icon [03:58] Thanks [03:58] August23rd: you'll probably want your desktop effects back though. Apparently something's misconfigured in compiz, but I don't know what. Try asking in #compiz if you can't figure it out. [03:58] bcmorr2: you shouldn't have to run alsamixer as root [03:59] will do [03:59] mzz thanks again, now to watch my movie :) [03:59] AJNpa80: But start by describing your problem in one long line. Don't press enter until you're done describing it. [03:59] Is it possible to automatically install all suggestions given by apt-get install when installing a package? [03:59] bc: right, that's why i'm confused as to why it would work for root and not for my user [03:59] np [03:59] PlasmaSheep, said everything that was before E: Couldn't find package fusion-icon was already the newest one. [03:59] Hi, i recently installed Jackalope on my desktop, and I can connect with pidgin, but not update manager or Firefox. Anyone know why? [03:59] good morinin people... can any one let me know pppoe issuse when installing debian in a virtual box under hardy???? [03:59] Yea, the delay works then it repeats fast [03:59] bcmorr2: fails how when running as yourself? [04:00] the_dark_warrio: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=apt+install+suggested+packages&btnG=Google+Search&aq=0&oq=apt+install+suggested+&fp=ry0_Tod3DXA === rob0t7 is now known as rob0t7pey [04:00] TonyTheTiger: try sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra librsvg2-common [04:00] bcmorr2: Are you logged in as multiple users? I find alsamixer only works for the first user to log in, until that user logs out and another logs in. === rob0t7pey is now known as rob0t7 [04:00] mzz: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory [04:00] vertagano: no, just logged in as my user [04:01] PlasmaSheep, nothing upgraded everything was the newest one. [04:01] bcmorr2: might be a stale ~/.asoundrc (assuming I remember the filename correctly) [04:01] bcmorr2: find out which device is your sound device and look at the group and group permission on it. [04:01] TonyTheTiger: I'm stumped, try #compiz. [04:01] bcmorr2: if it's not that I'll randomly blame pulse, since that's my default action for weird sound issues these days :P [04:01] hello everyone [04:01] mzz: Question: before I boot into fluxbox, I can run alsamixer and it detects my soundcard, during my boot to fluxbox somehow that connection is lost and I can no longer run alsamixer, any ideas? [04:01] TonyTheTiger: sorry I couldn't help. [04:01] PlasmaSheep, you helped me more than they did. [04:02] mzz: err wrong post [04:02] bcmorr2: Is your user a member of the group "audio" ? [04:02] TonyTheTiger: you tried them already? [04:02] yeah [04:02] bcmorr2: you could strace alsamixer to check what it's actually trying to open there (or try adding some -v switches) [04:02] PlasmaSheep, they told me to go here. [04:02] bcmorr2: I'd expect a different error message if it's a permissions problem. My pulse guess isn't completely unfounded :P [04:02] mzz: /usr/bin/alsamixer [04:03] TonyTheTiger: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall compizconfig-settings-manager [04:03] mzz: he's running fluxbox; would pulse still be an issue there? (not rhetorical) [04:03] bcmorr2: no, I don't mean where alsamixer lives, I mean what device/file it's trying to open (and fails with a "No such file or directory" on) [04:03] PlasmaSheep, i will try that later, right now im gonna restart the comp see if that changes anything. [04:03] bc: I'm not sufficiently familiar with ubuntu's pulse setup to answer that question. It's entirely possible to run pulse without any gnome (or X for that matter) involvement though. [04:04] bc: (which is why fluxbox being involved at all here is a bit puzzling) [04:04] no, nothing, it freezes [04:04] then restarts [04:04] no message no nothing [04:04] vertagano: [04:04] mzz: pulse isn't even running [04:04] mzz: I know very little about pulse, so I'm lost there [04:04] Armageddon: Please don't use the enter key as punctuation. Thanks [04:04] Hi, i recently installed Jackalope on my desktop, and I can connect with pidgin, but not update manager or Firefox. Anyone know why? [04:05] bcmorr2: I'd do the strace idea [04:05] Armageddon: It restarts? [04:05] after about 2minutes yes [04:05] does switching file system usually harmless [04:05] bc: how do I pastebin the strace? [04:05] anybody here use trac + git on a 9.04 server? For some reason it won't recognize that the trac-git plugin is installed [04:05] vertagano: is there anyway to repair it from the livecd ? (cause updates took me 3 days in a raw, im not gonna go through that again) [04:05] PlasmaSheep: thanks [04:06] bc: afaik by default you get a setup where the default alsa "device" is actually a pulse plugin for alsa (which contacts the pulse daemon, which in turn speaks to the actual audio hardware through libalsa again) [04:06] bc: afaik that daemon starts automatically if it's not up yet. I suspect if that autostart fails somehow you could get this failure mode. [04:06] Armageddon: In order to advise how to repair it, it would require figuring out what needs repaired. [04:06] bcmorr2: afaik `strace sudo alsamixer > /tmp/strace.alsamixer 2>&1` [04:07] bcmorr2: no, without the sudo [04:07] vertagano: im new here, so no idea what happened, i explained to you what i did. if i can put my updates on a cd, then i wont have a problem at all [04:07] is anyone here knowledgeable about Hadoop? [04:07] bcmorr2: just "strace /usr/bin/alsamixer | pastebinit" [04:07] I have one with sudo and one without [04:07] where can I post them? [04:07] bcmorr2: err, that wasn't the right command [04:07] Armageddon: apt on cd [04:08] Is there like a number system, or am I supposed to just keep flooding my question? [04:08] bcmorr2: "strace /usr/bin/alsamixer 2>&1 | pastebinit" ("apt-get install pastebinit" if you don't have it yet) [04:08] !apt-on-cd | Armageddon [04:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-on-cd [04:08] Scunizi: yes but i cant boot ubuntu :) [04:08] mzz: lol i was about to say, I have nothing called pastebinit :) [04:08] !aptoncd [04:08] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [04:08] Armageddon: came in late and didn't get the previous part of the conversation.. you don't have an 8200 gforce amd chipset do you? [04:09] Scunizi: ATI/AMD [04:09] mzz: http://pastebin.com/f37dbc1c1 [04:09] who use ext4 here? [04:09] Has anyone gotten compiz fusion to work on GOS? [04:09] ugh [04:10] is it faster than ext? [04:10] mzz: I also have the sudo version if you want [04:10] ext3? [04:10] Hi, i recently installed Jackalope on my desktop, and I can connect with pidgin, but not update manager or Firefox. Anyone know why? [04:10] bcmorr2: it actually *is* a permissions problem. I wonder why the error message is bogus. [04:10] bcmorr2: ls -l /dev/snd/controlC0 [04:10] Armageddon: ATI is one issue.. the amd portion depends on the chipset.. I have gforce 8200 and can't boot unless i have pci=nomsi on the kernel line [04:10] mzz: crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 6 2009-05-08 22:49 /dev/snd/controlC0 [04:10] bcmorr2: output of "groups"? [04:10] bcmorr2: most likely you're not in the audio group, but want to be. [04:11] Scunizi: i used to be able to boot perfectly, but i was installing a gadget, changing compiz options, desktop crashed, i restarted, it was still crashing, so i restarted into a recovery mode and used the auto graphic repair thingy and now it doesnt even login [04:11] mzz: bcmorr2 adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare admin [04:11] bcmorr2: exactly -> crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 10 2009-05-06 15:02 /dev/snd/controlC0 [04:11] bcmorr2: puzzling that it'd work before running fluxbox though. [04:11] mzz: that's why I just couldn't understand it [04:12] Armageddon: amd64 bit? [04:12] Scunizi: yes [04:12] bcmorr2: those permissions are correct, but you probably want to be in the audio group. If you pastebin an strace of alsamixer running as you while it works (pre-fluxbox?) I might be able to figure out what's going on [04:12] can anyone help me i have a hp d530 with intel 82865G graphics card controller and in hardy i could do compiz but in jaunty i cant enable compiz and glxgears is only giving me 60 FPS :-( [04:12] RONALDO [04:13] ok let me log out of flux [04:13] * bc is heading back to work, waves [04:13] Armageddon: that's a tough one.. you might consider backing down to 32 bit.. there's just weird issues with 64 bit on occation [04:13] Scunizi: it took me 3 days none stop on 15k to update, im not doing it again... not a chance [04:14] Why does the website tell me to come here if you guys don't even bother? [04:14] !patience|John` [04:14] John`: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:14] John`: how is firefox failing, exactly? [04:15] Pulseaudio is very buggy [04:15] see? that's exactly what i mean! y'all can "warn" me but won't offer any help [04:15] help anyone? [04:15] yes [04:15] Armageddon: wait a bit.. until the newness of the latest release calms down.. then you won't have a problem [04:15] it times out, mzz. And shows a Page Can't be Found [04:15] What do you need? [04:15] John`: I *am* offering help, but I will stop doing so if you keep trying to guilt me into it (intentionally or not) [04:15] can anyone help me i have a hp d530 with intel 82865G graphics card controller and in hardy i could do compiz but in jaunty i cant enable compiz and glxgears is only giving me 60 FPS :-( [04:15] Update Manager just stalls at file 1 of 5, but Pidgin connects to msn and updates my contact list, allows messaging [04:16] John`: What's the exact error message? Is it consistent in giving a particular message? [04:16] hi [04:16] what's the default username/pass for the live-session? [04:16] John`: does opening http://129.125.102.164/m/ in firefox give you "foo" or an error message? [04:17] how do I run clamav? [04:17] is there any command to get the domain name from ip? [04:17] I forgot the command. [04:17] regjava: try "host" [04:17] mzz: What's that address (http://129.125.102.164/m/) ? [04:17] regjava: (or "whois" depending on what you're trying to do) [04:17] vertagano: me [04:17] I'll go try on the other computer. Thanks brb [04:18] dd command copies everything, mbr included? (every sector is copied?) [04:19] john, maybe you are using some bogus proxy on gnome and pidgin isn't using it?? (a guess, also just reconnect) [04:19] SoylentYellow: yes, if you run it on the drive, not a particular partition [04:19] SoylentYellow: (so if you run it on /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1) [04:19] garchotron: so far I'm wildly guessing dns issues [04:19] çlçl [04:19] that could be also [04:20] mzz, oh ok. I can also use dd to copy drive to file and then use dd to image a drive out of that file, correct? [04:20] garchotron: (I have no idea how pidgin connects, but if it happens to have a hardcoded master server ip or something it'd work in that case) [04:20] u can find that with ping [04:20] try pinging some server [04:20] SoylentYellow: yes, as long as you make sure things fit size-wise [04:20] mzz, thanks for the info [04:20] garchotron: pointing him at me has the bonus that I'll see any malfunctioning proxy in my server log (as long as it still connects) [04:21] hi [04:21] do u know to launch an app minimized? [04:21] garchotron: although in hindsight I shouldn't have mentioned the address in here, log's a bit noisy this way :) [04:22] mzz: http://pastebin.com/f7b4a584 [04:22] s [04:22] bcmorr2: # [04:22] open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = 3 [04:23] mzz, I am trying to image/backup a two-disk RAID0 array. But I am going about it by cloning each disk seperately, since my chipset/fakeRAID is not recoginzed and only single drives are visible. [04:23] mzz: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `"/dev/snd/controlC0",' [04:23] mzz: Sorry. I added to that confusion.

That shows the same open attempt succeeding, so either your group membership changes or the permissions on /dev/snd/controlC0 do. Both would be weird. Check both (ls -l and groups again) [04:23] i am attempting to install ubuntu 8.10 on an averatec 3200. i have run through many distros, goblinx was the only one to boot into the gui, but no wireless. i am now trying xubuntu to minimize possible problems other than the wireless because some machines only worked with xfce for me, and that was what goblinx used. i intend to get rid of xp altogether on this thing as soon as i get something to boot up and go online. now afterthe wi [04:23] of the install it reboots to finish, i select ubuntu, it starts to load, it gets to broadcom b43 fw and it gets stuck for 5 minutes, then it drops to busybox where i troubleshoot. now i know about 5 diferent methods to put the b43 firmware where it belongs, but no matter what i do, it loses everything when i reboot. the only way i can introduce new files id through windows by adding things in the ubuntu directory. i am using wubi beca [04:23] several failed attempts i just wanted to use the laptop and try other methods to test compatibility, and switch when i knew how to write all the wrongs. so i need to remount the virtual hard disk or filesystem to write, i was given the command: sudo mount -n -o remount,rw /media/disk i got an error that /media/disk was an imagining and was guessing that because it is wubi /media/disk should be chsnged if it wouldnt be a totally diff [04:23] AJNpa80: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:23] being virtual and all, a file within an existing ntfs partition. there may even be a totally diferent reason for and solution to the not writing problem, ive tried the sync command before reboot and no beans. none. [04:23] mzz: ls -l where? [04:24] bcmorr2: "ls -l /dev/snd/controlC0" again, but at the time alsamixer still works [04:24] mzz: groups bcmorr2 adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare admin [04:24] crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 6 2009-05-08 22:49 /dev/snd/controlC0 [04:24] do u know to launch an app minimized? [04:25] mzz, this is more of a hardware question, but I can restore these backup images made by dd once proper drives are available? (usually people backup arrays in whole, but I can't since array is not visible as such) [04:25] bcmorr2: that doesn't make any sense tome. [04:25] to me, even. [04:25] AJNpa80: I'm thinking about it. [04:25] mzz: how can I add myself to the audio group, perhaps that can help? === jacobo_dos_dos is now known as xangua [04:25] SoylentYellow: normally I'd say yes, unless you have some convoluted setup going [04:26] olrrai: you can get devilspie to do it [04:26] bcmorr2: I'd use gpasswd [04:26] bcmorr2: "sudo gpasswd -a yourusernamehere audio" iirc [04:26] Mzz, do you see anything yet? All i get is the ubuntu firefox start page and a "Waiting" message for that address in the btm left corner. [04:27] mzz: odd, I added myself to audio but groups still doesn't show the audio group for me [04:27] SoylentYellow: if /dev/sda1 is something you can mount then I'd expect dd-ing around /dev/sda1 or all of /dev/sda to work (as long as you do it while the partition is not mounted readwrite) [04:27] asd [04:27] bcmorr2: you need to log out and back in [04:27] anyone catch that since the flood? [04:27] gotcha, will do that now [04:27] John`: what's your ip address (/msg it to me if you don't want to share it with the channel)? [04:28] mzz, nothing unusual. Just two small disks in RAID0. My idea is to back them up as files via dd (two large files representing each disk) and then restore the images at a later date. I was just affraid that dd would skip some sectors. [04:28] mzz: it works now, but how in the world did it work before from cli without that fix? [04:28] mzz: that makes no sense to me [04:28] bcmorr2: it doesn't make any sense to me either [04:28] AJNpa80: Have you attempted using the b43 configuration tool built into the restricted drivers manager? [04:28] cjae: might want to repeat whatever it was [04:28] ok since I have asked this many times in #kubuntu, and I assume there are some kde users in here, what is going on with kpackage in 9.04? it never asks me for a pasword when installing something, how can I fix this or can I install synaptic and have it perform as kpackage does ...update notification and such [04:28] mzz: well thanks for making it work although i'm not exactly sure why my system's going crazy [04:29] bcmorr2: Joining the audio group fixed your sound problem? [04:29] SoylentYellow: it'll work, but you'll have to reconfigure the raid the exact same way, and run the dd while the array isn't being written to, obviously [04:29] vertagano: well, it let me run alsamixer in xwin, so that's a step in the right direction [04:30] bcmorr2: I had a similar problem; mine was caused by running two different accounts that were trying to use the sound card at the same time. Not sure why else it would be an issue, but glad things are working for you. [04:30] mzz, to be safe I will disconnect one drive, and image each via dd one at a time. [04:31] AJNpa80: Can you tell me if you have used the restricted drivers manager in gnome to try to configure b43? [04:31] hello, in ubuntu 9.04 I cannot use my external usb cdrom, any idea please? [04:31] Mzz, I appreciate your time, even if we were guessing. I won't come in here and bitch anymore, but I can't get you the IP because the system's not responding. I think i just have to wait til Ubuntu becomes as simple as Windows and fixes itself. [04:31] mzz, I just hope once I restore the images later on that the partitions are visible. (I have no idea how RAID stores partition data or where mbr data is put, especially in RAID0 when stuff is split evenly) [04:31] John`: there are other things I can try, but it'll take a bunch of time to debug this if you're not at the affected system [04:31] John: I can tell you that blaming Ubuntu won't win you many friends in here. [04:31] xrfang: When you say you can't use it, do you mean that you can't see it, or you can't open media...? [04:32] John`: (or not near the affected system, really) [04:32] why my update manager installed clamav packages? === brEz is now known as _brEz [04:32] vertagano: it does not recognize the device, it seems, === _brEz is now known as brEz [04:32] SoylentYellow: is this software or some form of hardware raid? [04:32] I can post dmesg, if you like? [04:32] can i run that tool from a bash prompt ? without adding any packages, its just the core system stuff until it loads into desktop the first time [04:32] xrfang: Does it show up when you run lsusb ? [04:32] in MDV or my previous (k)ubuntu installation it is ok [04:32] I will try now [04:32] AJNpa80: the wifi driver is keeping you from loading into a window manager? [04:33] vertagano: seems not [04:33] so nobody in here uses kubuntu 9.04 and kpackage? [04:33] here is the logs: [04:33] mzz, just software RAID via intel ICH10R. I have no idea how stuff is done in RAID0 except that data/files are split evenly on per drive basis. Not sure where partition stuff is held.

I have Ubuntu Jaunty running on a laptop. I was going through and removed a few packages I didn't think I needed (I know, I know....I shouldn't have). Now, the system boots fine, however it is not accepting any input from my mouse or keyboard. The login window comes up and the cursor blinks, but nothing happens when i type or move my mouse. Any ideas? [04:33] /save [04:33] !pastebin | xrfang [04:33] xrfang: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:33] here's an easier question, I'm trying to rename x.exe1 to x.exe with rename x.exe1 x.exe and it's giving me a "strict subs" error [04:33] I can move the laptop next to the Jackalope comp, but I think it would just waste our time. I'm gonna use my trusty GpartEd livecd and switch over to Vista. Ibex works okay on the laptop, so I'll keep playing with that for now [04:33] ok, thanks one moment [04:34] take care [04:34] Does anyone know hot to configure dual-head=horizontal layout for my ati radeon 3600 on Jaunty? Everytime i use aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=above the graphics fail to load at the login screen after reboot. All it gives me is some red/green pixelations at the top. [04:34] yep ubuntu wants b43 fw, or it sends you into a loop and eventualy times out and drops me to bash [04:34] SoylentYellow: are you actually booting off that array? I don't know how that works either, unless there's some bios support for it [04:34] xrfang: If you unplug the device and run lsusb again, which lines disappear (if any)? [04:34] AJNpa80: My friend has a computer that uses a b43 supported wireless card. He runs straight Ubuntu with the standard gnome interface and uses the built in wireless config tool to configure it. It has worked after every upgrade he's done. I would strongly recommend that if you haven't used the standard ubuntu gnome environment and used the restricted driver tool it contains, you should probably do that. [04:34] SoylentYellow: as far as linux is concerned block devices are block devices, and you can nest various things in more than one way depending on your needs [04:34] vertagano: NONE disappeared. [04:34] AJNpa80: if that's not an option, [04:35] mzz, not booting from it. I don't think (I hope at least) that partition tables for RAID arrays are held in BIOS. That would pretty much lock any RAID array to a machine it was created on. [04:35] right? [04:35] xrfang: Can you switch where you're plugging it in with a currenlty working USB device? [04:35] SoylentYellow: (so you can for example have two regular partitions on both drives, one tiny boot partition, one huge partition that is used for raid, and then run (for example) lvm in the raid space) [04:35] SoylentYellow: (or you can omit the partitioning completely and use the entire drive for raid) [04:35] AJNpa80: then you will probably need to remove the b43 drivers altogether so that you can load into xfce at least. Once you have done that, you should be able to install and run the manager I am talking about. [04:35] * cjae wishes everybody to disregard the last comment since was in wrong channel [04:35] i would, but i cant even finish the first boot, [04:36] vertagano: I changed my mouse to that port, it seems ok [04:36] cgkades: thanks [04:36] hey I get this error when I try to run compiz: Software rasterizer detected, abortingaborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/kwin [04:36] what does that meatn? [04:36] mean* [04:36] AJNpa80: you can't finish the first boot while trying to install standard ubuntu? [04:37] SoylentYellow: see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-11.html (assuming that's current, haven't checked) [04:37] xrfang: And you said this drive works with other OSes, right? What's the model of the drive? [04:37] olrrai: did you install devilspie? [04:37] Does anyone here have some experience with Hadoop? [04:37] ive read a good bit into the b43 dependency, some guy even took his apart and removed builtin wireless altogether so ubuntu wouldnt detect it. [04:37] vertagano: STRANGE, i plugged in the drive in the port I usually use mouse, now it is recognized [04:37] nope [04:37] however I would like to use the port on the left because I use mouse on the right, I will change it to the left port again [04:37] nelly: means your video card + driver combo doesn't currently support compiz. This can mean your hardware isn't powerful enough or your drivers are misconfigured or don't exist. [04:38] hi guys [04:38] John`:Split the partition and install a fresh copy to the new partition.....Mount your original partition and move your data to your new installation..........Once you are satisfied you have a good install, remove the original partition and resize the new partitions to the rest of the drive. make a back up of your stuff and don't forget your hidden folders like .evolution, etc just in case you mess things up [04:38] mzz: maybe they don't exist cause I did a fresh install of kubuntu... [04:38] AJNpa80: Was the guy you're talking about having the problem while using wubi? [04:38] Hello, I am wanting to learn how to create a simple program with GUI. It is only needing to be able to execute 2 commands as root. [04:38] mzz: how do I check if they exists [04:38] exist* [04:38] kao: the "as root" part may be tricky. [04:38] ok I am sold on Ubuntu... now to get rid of that Windows boot drive. I have 4 hard disks. Primary Master = Windows / Primary Slave = Music / Secondary Master = Ubuntu / Secondary Slave = Documents. I need to make Secondary Master bootable and move it to Primary Master. [04:39] Could I just run the program with gksudo? [04:39] kao: apart from that you could for example use python with pygtk. Or perhaps shell, using zenity for the gui. [04:39] kao: Yes [04:39] kao: yes, that's an option, especially if you're in a hurry. [04:39] kao: Sure. Do you have any programming experience? [04:39] and it is coomone for several poeple, i should be able to just sud apt-get install b43-ucode5.fw while hardwired but it wont write to disk [04:39] HTML, PHP thats about it [04:39] Hi - I'm trying to set the icon that shows for xterm when I switch windows in the overlay in Metacity. Does anyone know how I can do that? [04:39] kao: if you already know some shell and you don't need a lot gui-wise shell + sudo + zenity may be the fastest way to go. [04:39] hi, where can I ask hardware question? [04:39] here here! [04:40] fire away! [04:40] Hey can anyone tell me, Ive got a whole bunch of ubuntu vm's that I have setup in a very particular way (some act as desktop style remotes for servers and stuff), they work great when I suspend them because they maintain their layouts on all the desktops and stuff. I was just wondering if there was a way I could make it so that in the event that the VM got restarted, it would still boot up and look exactly the same [04:40] kao: Ruby and Python are reasonably easy scripting languages for very simple GUIs. Look into GLADE [04:40] mzz: do I need to remove my pastebin files or do they expire on their own [04:40] mzz: yes I just want a small gui with 2 buttons. One for Starting an app and one for stopping an app. [04:40] especially for if I wanted to install it on a system as a hard install rather than as a vm [04:40] bcmorr2: don't worry about them [04:40] mzz: alright, everythings working good, thanks again [04:40] mzz: how do I check if I have the video drivers installed? [04:40] kao: python + pygtk can do that easily enough. I haven't touched zenity recently, not sure if you can do exactly this using zenity. [04:41] nelly: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log please [04:41] hi all... i'v installed ubuntu on a netbook, but the display is detected as 800x600 and uses only the centre of the screen but the resolution of this netbook is 1024x768, how do i change it? [04:41] I put ddr2 and ddr3 into my motherboard, but it cannot boot. (but ddr2 or ddr3 only is fine). So they cannot co-exist? [04:41] noob: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log please [04:41] i also moved a tarball of the files into the appropriate folder and opened it up and i tried debconf on the deb package but neither will work because i cant write [04:41] noob: install the right graphics drivers [04:41] digdeep: apparently? This is probably more of a #hardware question... [04:41] noob: system< preferences> screen resolution [04:41] AJNpa80: I thought you said you couldn't boot? [04:41] any would if i could [04:41] noob: what xangua said will work if you're using the right drivers and they're working correctly. [04:42] mzz: te log or the conf? [04:42] AJNpa80: How can you debconf or move files, etc if you can't boot? [04:42] noob: log please [04:42] mzz: thank you so much. I have been very interested in python anyway. So I believe I will go with Python + Pygtk [04:42] mzz: now to google for some tutorials ;) Again thank you [04:42] kao: I'm a bit biased since I use python quite a bit and already know some pygtk too. I can't really guesstimate how long figuring out the required pygtk bits will take. [04:43] kao: For your purpose, you could use Ruby-Glade and four lines of code... [04:43] AJNpa80: So i think what you're telling me is that you end up in a read only root shell. is that right? [04:43] hahah ruby [04:43] you suck [04:43] You. suck. [04:43] go back to japan [04:43] where you belong [04:43] Hajuu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:44] But.. Enter *is* punctuation.. [04:44] mzz: all im wanting to do is create a small app to start & stop my xampp development server. I assume that there is already some simple app to do this. I just want to get started programming in other languages. [04:44] vertagano: if it's really that simple can you share the four lines? I'm curious what the closest python equiv would look like :) [04:44] !ohmy Hajuu [04:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about ohmy Hajuu [04:44] lern 2 englich pls [04:44] cant enter the desktop, just the bash, gets almost there, then it detects that my computer has b43 chip and requires fw to go any furthere, and i am in a bash prompt that is functional except for writing to disk and the only way i can get online is through the n/w card. [04:45] mzz: xorg.log> http://paste.ubuntu.com/167403/ [04:45] mzz: In Ruby, you launch can launch a system command by putting it in backquotes, so in the Ruby-Glade trigger for the first button, you would just add: `/usr/bin/mycommand` [04:45] AJNpa80: Okay, are you familiar with single user mode? [04:45] vertagano: ahh, glade, not straight gtk. Yeah, that'd be pretty simple. [04:45] vertagano: in python you'd have to use the subprocess module, which is slightly more typing than just using backquotes. Still ok though. [04:45] mzz: Yeah, straight gtk isn't pretty with Ruby. [04:46] vertagano: straight gtk is wordy no matter the language. [04:46] kao: vertagano has a point about maybe wanting to use glade (or gtkbuilder these days) [04:46] kao: glade lets you edit the gui using a wysiwyg-style editor instead of having to write the code to generate the ui. [04:46] amarok not working after distro upgrade [04:47] mzz: my xorg.log.0 for the display problem> http://paste.ubuntu.com/167403/ [04:47] not sure [04:47] noob: ddc is failing for some unknown reason, drat [04:48] AJNpa80: Can you tell me what entries you have in your GRUB menu on boot? After you select Ubuntu from the windows bootloader, i think you see something related to GRUB. I'm not sure whether it shows you the menu or not. If not, it tells you to press escape to see the menu. Either way, can you tell me what items are in that menu? [04:48] noob: you may have better luck googling for others with the same kind of netbook and the same problem [04:48] I have seen on tutorials people using apt-get and aptitude to install different programs from the repos. Which one should I stick with? And Why? [04:48] is 49% use of inodes on / considered dangerous? [04:49] hello all. i am trying to make a local area network. and i want to set up my ubuntu jaunty machine as gateway to share internet connection for 2 other XP computers. how do I start? [04:49] mzz: this is a crappy old sony vaio notebook, nobody in the world i think is still using it! just thought of reviving it in xubuntu. so is there anyway to set the display in the xorg.conf? [04:49] kopichu, how are you going to stop them from going around you in the network? [04:50] jdu: no [04:50] when i press escape it is 4 or 5 install related options for booting [04:50] i've got a question. we all know you can 'connect to server' to use nautilus for a remote ssh share, but i want to mount a filesystem over ssh that is only accessible through another ssh connection. can gnome ssh tunnel manager do that? [04:50] mzz, just wondering as most other partitions are more like 1% [04:50] can you tell me what they are? [04:51] 2900_it87-support-it8720.patch is for kernel 2.6.27, but dont know where to apply it [04:51] jdu: if you hit 100% there you can't create new files, but I have a bunch of filesystems with 50% or more of them used and no obvious ill effect [04:51] AJNpa80: Can you list them for me please? [04:51] its for hwmon [04:51] c0ntract0r, i am sorry i dont understand your question. what do you mean "stop them from going around me"? [04:51] How do I force install a package? [04:51] noob: its using xaa acceleration you could try eax or uax the latter just for intel [04:51] noob: will the gui let you switch to the right res? [04:51] I have a program that only comes as a 32bit package and I can't be bothered downloading the source [04:51] kao, apt-get can be simpler, but aptitude has more features + 'graphical' interface in the terminal. I geneally use apt-get [04:52] i have been able to add new files ny moving them to c :\ubuntu\custom installation [04:52] ok so I installed hfsplus, hfsutils, libhfsp0 and hfsprogs, but when I mount an HFS filesystem (with rw flag), I still get this: mkdir: cannot create directory `temp': Read-only file system........why can't I write to hfsplus? [04:52] On a sidenote, FCEUX should really replace FCEU in the repository [04:52] maybe im a dummy but imo aptitude is more complicated than apt-get [04:52] AJNpa80: can you list the menu options from GRUB for me please? [04:52] Newer, more supported, etc [04:53] mzz: no , gui offers 640x480 as the other choice! [04:53] robin0800: how do i do that? [04:53] How come my pulseaudio (or gstreamer rather) doesnt work when I have used any kind of flahs program within my firefox? I need to close firefox, before getting the music or the video to play within gstreamer [04:53] mzz: thanks. [04:53] If i play the song/video in gstreamer before opening firefox, the sound in my flash doesnt work [04:53] kopichi, I meant what program do you use, as a proxy? [04:53] noob: then you may have to put some explicit VertRefresh/HorizSync rules in xorg.conf to work around the problem [04:53] draginx - google 'why linux sucks' [04:53] draginx: do you use hardy ¿¿ [04:53] AJNpa80: If the menu is going to automatically disappear, press an arrow key up or down and the countdown will stop. [04:53] It's like I can only dedicate sound to one program at a time. [04:53] xangua, yes [04:53] aka 8.04 ¿ [04:53] Yessir [04:53] 64-bit [04:53] draginx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:53] any reason why hardware might be beeping when copying thousands of files over nfs? This is the only time when it happens. [04:53] draginx i have the same problem at home and work [04:53] Hi - I'm trying to set the icon that shows for xterm when I switch windows in the overlay in Metacity. Does anyone know how I can do that? [04:54] noob: you have to add it in xorg.conf [04:54] draginx: you need to install 'libflashsupport' to be able to hear gstreamer and flash at the same time [04:54] the_scorpion, did you setup flash through binary? this may be why :| trying to isolate why this would happen. [04:54] mzz: anything , could u give me an idea of how to set it...? === Matt1360`Oot is now known as Matt1360` [04:54] daginx - yes the official installer [04:54] by official i mean adobe [04:54] draginx & the_scorpion if you use Hardy you need to install 'libflashsupport' [04:54] xangua, ok I did that I'll try to restart both programs :) [04:54] noob: sorry, not sure what sane values would be off the top of my head [04:55] robin0800: i dont know what the correct variable to set is... [04:55] AJNpa80: If it helps you, what I'm trying to do is to get you into a shell where you can write to the filesystem. [04:55] it will take a good while to reboot i came up for air (into windows on opera) to gather information it takes 15 minutes to get back up and running on this box with xp, i will in a bit, im making a likst of things to do when i try again, its the only computer i have with me over my ladies house. [04:55] ok [04:55] xangua - looks like i have always had it installed - i've learned to live with it [04:56] AJNpa80: Ultimately, I'm trying to get you to remove the driver so that it won't try to load and crash. You can then boot into a gui and configure it using the provided tools. [04:56] mzz: robin0800 is googling the better way.. to have an idea of how to set things right? if so what do search for to find the right solution? [04:56] xangua, YOU'RE A GENIUS! :D What's included in libflashsupport to make this happen? Do you happen to know the link to it's source? >.> [04:56] can anyone help me setup ubuntu to share internet connection with windows xp [04:56] what i can tell you immediately is they are all install disk related options, for running the installer [04:56] noob: although actually, since this is not a crt screen, pinning VertRefresh at 60, using some huge range for HorizSync, and making sure you have no higher res than 1024x768 listed in your Display SubSection could work [04:56] the_scorpion, follow his advice man it works 100% :D [04:56] draginx - i've always had libflashsupport [04:56] draginx: in the desktop machine i use hardy and had the same issue [04:56] noob: Option "AccelMethod" # [04:56] AJNpa80: Is there a really good reason why you are opposed to installing ubuntu by a more traditional method? [04:56] noob: I'm not sure if ddc is supposed to work on your hardware, but unless it's really weird hardware it normally should [04:57] jum i am not a genious, just a normal user trying tryin to help, but thanks [04:57] Now that's weird :S - Another question, does 9.04 have much better support for broadcom chipsets? [04:57] draginx and xangua - my issues are deeper rooted as it's not specific to flash, any k apps will also interfere with rhythmbox, etc [04:57] but that's not why i'm here anyway [04:57] the_scorpion, I'd try to re-install all audio libs :S [04:57] noob, because i am really board http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html [04:57] any k apps ´¿¿ [04:58] Is there a log of what packages were removed recently by apt? [04:58] Qt apps do you reffer the_scorpion ¿¿ [04:58] xangua - probably [04:58] where does Virtualbox PUEL/closedsource go in Ubuntu 9.04 menu? [04:58] xangua & draginx i plan on installing 9.04 sometime soon anyway [04:58] the_scorpion: if you use Amarok or something you can tell it to use gstreamer, instead of xine [04:58] noob: Use built in help and support look for xorg configuration in advanced topics [04:59] any ffmpeg gurus that have avchd conversion experience alive right now? [04:59] chuck thanx... [04:59] billybigrigger: all dead i think [04:59] anybody use tsclient to connect to windows machines? [04:59] HI, if there's any local repos while upgrading to Jaunty, will Intrepid use the local one? [04:59] bahumbug [05:00] noob, your welcome [05:00] how can i tell my amarok to use gstreamer? === psilikon_ is now known as psilikon [05:00] chuck_, was that link towards me? [05:00] robin0800: mzz chuck thanx guys, now i know where to look for the problem, will try with the different options... and reboot till i get it right... thanx guys... [05:00] How do I check if my kernel is compiled with X? [05:01] chuck_, nvm didnt see "noob" in here :P [05:01] noob: no need to reboot, just restart the server (or gdm) [05:01] Brack10: does /proc/config.gz exist? [05:01] ls: cannot access /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory [05:02] yes i tried it on here with similar trouble as well as fedora and suse and sveral ubuntu derivatives and mods, now im trying to see if i can get ant kind of linux flying, but i need to be able to use it when im away from home so i can try to find a solution away fromm my desktops. its temporary, and im itching to drop windows so i can moves a little faster, i would like to get a new one [05:02] mzz: oh... x restart is enough.. ok.. that is easier to play around with :) [05:02] oh and [05:02] ugh, someone remind me if I got the name for the config file in /proc/ wrong? Or does ubuntu not have that enabled? [05:02] noob: if all you're editing is xorg.conf just restarting the server suffices [05:02] Brack10: alternatively find the config file for the kernel you're running in /boot/ [05:02] AJNpa80: Have you tried booting from a live cd with similar results? [05:03] mzz: thanx man... [05:03] Jaunty Jackalope - My audio skips regularly - listening to a cd is impossible. dual core 2.4, 4gb ram. Any suggestions? [05:03] my ntfs partition is concidered incosistent by all drive tools avaiable in my budget free [05:03] can I update drivers? [05:03] ok #linux says I need to recompile my kernel with hfsplus write support if I want to be able to write to hfs+ filesystems.....how the hell do I do that, or how do I find out where I can do this? [05:03] sorry for the redundancy, i'll ask one more time: I want to use nautilus for a filesystem (ssh access) that I can only get to after first connecting to yet another system via ssh. basically our datacenter is only accessible from the office, and i can connect to the office from home. anyone know? I don't want to use nano for coding is all. [05:03] vmv [05:03] Brack10: is there no fuse module for hfs? That'd be considerably easier. [05:03] AJNpa80: Have you run all of windows' disk tools on it? [05:04] mzz: I dono.... [05:04] I guess I kinda inferred that I'd have to recompile it [05:04] how do you search for packages using the terminal? is that possible? :S [05:04] dsdeiz: apt-get search ? [05:04] dsdeiz: or aptitude [05:04] apt-cache search package [05:04] hello can anyone help me setup ubuntu as a gateway to share internet connection with 2 windows xp machines [05:04] Under 9.04, how does one change the port from the default 5900 for Remote Desktop? The option was removed from the GUI panel between 8.10 and 9.04 :( [05:04] dsdeiz, aptitude search or apt-cache search [05:04] not sure.. hehe which is better? [05:04] kopichu: no. [05:05] Brack10: hmm, I don't actually see anything hfsplus-related that's off. sec. [05:05] sirstan, apt-get cant search [05:05] sirstan :( may i ask why>? [05:05] there has been a hfs+ fuse package since 6 [05:05] srsly? [05:05] mine does [05:05] I've got myself a ( i think ) small question [05:05] sirstan, you mean apt-cache [05:05] I cannot open the openbox gui config tool [05:05] tnx mate [05:05] I don't know why. [05:06] yep except goblinx x which i got to a gui, ive learned alt more since i've tried ant other ones, lately ive been trying opengeu mint xubuntu and moon and they are all really ubuntu [05:06] I can open the openbox menu editor, but not the openbox gui config tool.. [05:06] mzz: according to this guy you just have to install these packages, but I already have them all....http://blog.raamdev.com/2008/11/23/mounting-hfs-with-write-access-in-debian [05:06] My firefox won't stop segfaulting. I nuked my .mozilla dir, and it still crashes about 1 second after I open it. What gives? [05:06] mzz: but he mentions loading the hfsplus module...which I don't think i did [05:06] please anyone? [05:07] Brack10: give me a minute, digging... [05:07] I tried obconf in terminal, which opened when I added sudo, and it IS the right thing, but nothing I do there has any effect on my desktop [05:07] HI, if there's any local repos while upgrading to Jaunty, will Intrepid use the local one? [05:07] Brack10: how's it failing? [05:07] AJNpa80: I mean, have you used Microsoft Windows' disk repair tools on the NTFS partition. Have you run chkdsk from windows and/or tried defragmenting the partition? [05:08] vertagano: i fixed the first part [05:08] yep [05:08] ARGH! I started it in safe mode even, and as soon as I go to edit -> preferences it crashes [05:08] Brack10: I don't actually see a kernel option specifically for write support, and the module to access the fs at all is built by default. [05:08] can anyone please help me share internet connection with other computers in local area network? [05:08] turned off the paging file and the whole nine [05:08] Armageddon: What was the first part? [05:08] Guys, Gnome has crashed, i cant see any of the taskbars, i can see the desktop and the icons but i cant use it nor any right click options [05:08] mzz: mount shows it's mounted rw, but then when I try and modify it gives me warnings like this: mkdir: cannot create directory `temp': Read-only file system [05:08] vertagano: the login part [05:09] AJNpa80: and gparted is the tool that told you your partition couldn't be resized? [05:09] mzz: on a related note, those packages did enable me to write hfs partitions with gparted [05:09] Brack10: checked dmesg for any interesting messages? How exactly did you mount? [05:09] vertagano: i rewrote the xorg.conf file [05:09] dont ask me how [05:09] lol [05:09] mzz: sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop INITRD.IMG /mnt/initrd [05:10] Armageddon: So you can boot now? [05:10] Brack10: and no messages from that? afaict that should be working... [05:10] HI, how to get the swap partition UUID? [05:10] one of them, id imagine a few of them are built on its code [05:10] i am in but im using the alt + ctrl + F1 to talk to you with irssi [05:10] vertagano: i am in but im using the alt + ctrl + F1 to talk to you with irssi [05:10] Brack10: are you sure INITRD.IMG is writable (the file itself is)? [05:10] do you have xp or vista? [05:10] Brack10: that is: is INITRD.IMG on a filesystem that is itself mounted readonly? [05:10] AJNpa80: Is your version of windows XP or Vista? [05:11] mzz: I also have a disk partion that's hfs+ that does the same thing [05:11] Armageddon: So you still can't get into X? [05:11] xp [05:11] Brack10: can't test here, not in an ubuntu kernel [05:11] vertagano: whats X ? [05:11] Brack10: afaict this should work, although you might need "-o force" (see the documentation) [05:11] mzz: /dev/sdb2 on /media/osxdvd type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [05:11] same symptoms [05:12] Brack10: the documentation being Documentation/filesystems/hfsplus.txt in the kernel tree, not sure how to get that in ubuntu [05:12] mzz: man hfsplus works [05:13] Brack10: it does? that's not the same documentation, I'm pretty sure [05:13] AJNpa80: Have you defragmented the NTFS partition [05:13] anyone care to recommend an excellet headset, mic, whatever for voip? [05:13] mzz: looks like there's a program hpmount [05:13] hpumount [05:13] can someone help me setup HTTPS? i add the following to sites-available/default http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7fab2406 but i cant get the https page to respond to me [05:14] Armageddon: The program that provides the graphical interface on Linux. [05:14] linux_noob: did you test on the ubtunu machine with w3m? [05:14] Armageddon: Which is configured with xorg.conf [05:14] linux_noob: e.g. w3m https://localhost [05:14] bc, hi again whats w3m? [05:14] linux_noob: text mode browser [05:15] bc it says "cant load https:localhost [05:15] linux_noob: add the slashes [05:15] bc, same message [05:15] i have a question. Macports or Fink??? [05:15] linux_noob: does this wait for input? `telnet localhost 443` [05:16] bc, i tried it with the IP instead and it gave me an error message [05:16] linux_noob: sorry, meant localhost [05:16] linux_noob: error was? [05:16] oops [05:16] telnet worked [05:16] wrong channel sorry folks [05:16] i think. [05:16] maxxist: i use macports [05:16] AJNpa80: Have you defragmented the NTFS partition?? [05:17] linux_noob: hit enter a couple of times [05:17] bc thanx. [05:17] bc SSL error: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol [05:17] bc that came from w3m http:// [05:17] linux_noob: http or httpS? [05:18] bc, httpS [05:18] bc, one sec [05:19] linux_noob: do you get a response from the non-ssl port? aka http:// [05:19] bc my ssh appears to ahve crashed [05:19] bc let me... restart it i guess one min [05:20] in compiz, how do i get the cube to show up ? other than ctl+alt+ arrows [05:20] Ok, epiphany is crashing as well as firefox. what the heck is going on here? [05:20] AJNpa80: If you want help AJNpa80, you need to help me help you. If what you want is for linux to provide you with a faster experience than windows, Wubi is not going to do that for you. The way for this to work well is for your NTFS partition to be fixed and resized. Then, your wireless module must be disabled until you can get to the GUI. [05:20] I can't live w/o my internets! [05:21] hmm? wubi shouldn't be *that* much slower than an "actual" install (ntfs-3g is quite decent) [05:21] tecky: you can change the keys in Compiz settings manager [05:21] hi i'm looking for wine help. I am installing civilization 4. everything went ok but when i installed the latest patch i got this error. Error Code: -5012 : 0x80070057. anyone know how to fix this? [05:22] mzz: Unless your NTFS partition is ridiculously fragmented, as it seems that AJNpa80's is since gparted refuses to resize it. [05:22] linux_noob: if you ever get this solved, I think you need an exorcist [05:22] hey [05:22] xangua, i have it enabled ... but alt-tab isn't doing it [05:22] brassmaster1: oh, that's different. Would gparted refuse if there's something system-ish near the end of the partition though? [05:22] xangua, nor is the ctl+alt+arrows [05:23] will ubuntu 32bit use my 4gb ram? [05:23] digitalfiz: It'll use about 3.2 of it. [05:23] mzz: maybe. everything i've read suggests that gparted will refuse to resize only when the partition is corrupt in some way that can be fixed by chkdsk in windows or if the disk is very fragmented. [05:23] hmm so really i should install 64bit [05:24] mzz: And, of course, if swap is on. [05:24] bc, i think if this is still weird tomorrow im going to reformat.. its my first time using linux i probably broke something unrelated [05:24] brassmaster1: or the partition is insanely full, presumably [05:24] bc, since my ssh crashed i have some sort of.... swap... issue? its asking me to recover i dont know what this is about [05:25] bc can i just delete the .swf? [05:25] mzz: yeah, but then wubi would be useless too, would it not? [05:25] true [05:25] linux_noob: .swf is shockwave flash [05:25] bc call the exorcist [05:26] what's the package name for gstreamer? [05:26] linux_noob: where did the swf come from? [05:26] siema [05:26] yo [05:26] hi, does anyone know how to launch wine processes in a new X server? Is this better asked in #wine? [05:26] bc sorry its a swp file! [05:26] ror: #winehq, and probably. [05:26] ror: set DISPLAY appropriately before invoking wine? [05:26] I would like to phone talk to my family (who has Windows) - other than skype, what other options do I have on Ubuntu ? [05:26] bc, i was editing a file when my ssh connection froze [05:26] linux_noob: in the virtualhost for port 443, or anywhere for that matter, is there this statement? -> SSLEngine on [05:27] tvn2009: ekiga, iirc, but I haven't used that myself. [05:27] mzz, if I use ekiga then what would my family use (on Windows) ? [05:27] linux_noob: ohhhh you meant .swp -- that's vi/vim [05:27] anyone know the package name for gstreamer off the top of their head? [05:27] tvn2009: netmeeting, probably. See gnomemeeting.org [05:27] bcmorr2: apt-cache search gstreamer [05:27] bcmorr2: what part of gstreamer? [05:27] is there a GUI for installing SVN/subversion? i dont feel like reading a book just to craete a repository [05:27] bcmorr2: there's no single package. What are you trying to do? [05:28] how can i disable my desktop effects through commands ? [05:28] well I just installed rhtyhmbox and it won't decode any mp3s for me [05:28] bcmorr2: have you installed codecs ¿ [05:28] Bytewalker: there's a very short howto on the ubuntu help site at help.ubuntu.com [05:28] bcmorr2: you should be getting an automatic search for the missing codec, iirc [05:28] !mp3 [05:28] 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 [05:29] not running a standard ubuntu so the automatic things won't display [05:29] tvn, skype is probably most familiar to windows users [05:29] linux_noob: grep -iR /etc/apache2 'SSLEngine on' [05:29] Bytewalker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion [05:29] Bytewalker: You dont have to read a whole book: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.intro.quickstart.html [05:29] bcmorr2: you want the gstreamer good, bad and ugly packages [05:29] bc ... i dont have a virtual host entry for just 443 [05:29] linux_noob: errr, grep -iR 'SSLEngine on' /etc/apache2 [05:30] bcmorr2: I think installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly will help, although that may not be your only option [05:30] !info gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 [05:30] gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 (source: gst-fluendo-mp3): Fluendo mp3 decoder GStreamer plugin.

[05:30] bc i thikn the error has to do with what you said about a 443 virtual host [05:30] bcmorr2: you could also install ubuntu-restricted-extras and get all those things sorted [05:31] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:31] ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used restricted packages. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 31 (jaunty), package size 4 kB, installed size 32 kB [05:31] bc they are *not* commented out :) === Aryan is now known as Guest27179 [05:31] bc whats this about a 443 virtual host though? my SSL stuff is inside of a *:80 virtual host [05:31] Bytewalker: The help.ubuntu.com link is better [05:31] linux_noob: is default-ssl in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled ? [05:31] bcmorr2: ubuntu-restricted-extras is probably just a metapackage pulling in (among others) gstreamer's -ugly plugins [05:31] linux_noob: SSL wont work over 80 [05:32] linux_noob: SSL is 443 [05:32] sd [05:32] bcmorr2: Please look up packages with /msg ubottu, or use aptitude show instead :) [05:32] bc: well, I guess https://blah:80/ will work... [05:32] Guys, i was using compiz when gnome crashed and now i cant use my desktop and i dont have taskbars, any idea how to fix it ? [05:32] bc: that's pretty insane though :) [05:32] hateball: gotcha, I didn't want to spam but didn't know if I could query what I was lookingfor [05:32] bc in that case let me make a paste bin i think the error is going to be obvious for you, one sec... [05:32] is there a way to ls that shows the files with the path in the current directory ?? [05:33] mzz: will the browser accept that? [05:33] bcmorr2: well, you could always use synaptic or aptitude on the local machine :) [05:33] bc: I'd expect it to, but I don't have an insane server around to check :) [05:33] was unaware of those features hateball, new to ubuntu [05:33] bcmorr2: aptitude search [05:33] it seems gstreamer0.10-packagekit might be an all in one for gstreamer, that's what i'm looking for [05:33] like ls --path > music.m3u [05:33] what is the gui for samba? [05:34] bcmorr2: "packagekit" is the mechanism it uses to chat with the package manager, iirc. [05:34] syntax\: Are you thinking about SWAT?

Gimp feels like a kids toy, but that is onlu because of the interface [06:44] woot, running ubuntu for first time, gnea :D [06:44] i don't understandw hy hard drive boot order was a problem [06:44] cuz grub should've overwrote the windows bootloader [06:44] heh [06:45] painted: right, but the bios itself controls which drive boots first [06:45] now, another question, I am connected to the network the same as other windows PC. how do I set the network connectivity so Ubuntu can see windows shared filles? [06:45] gnea, oh i see.... [06:45] gnea, but the one that was first on priority was a drive with no OS on it [06:45] gnea, all i did was move that one down, and grub loaded [06:45] gnea, i don't understand :( [06:45] painted: then it would've gone down to the next drive in the list and booted that one [06:46] I want to get rid of my Windows drive but when I remove the drive I get the no operating system thing. I have used GParted to set the Boot flag on my Ubuntu drive but there is still something I am missing [06:46] painted: usually the CDROM is the first device - if it's empty, the system skips it and moves onto the first hard drive or lan [06:46] actually, can someone help me identify which videographics driver is my system using? [06:46] painted: if it finds something, it tries to boot it [06:46] FWilhelm: can u be a bit precise [06:46] painted: that happens sometimes, i know for instance sometimes when booting into windows, if my ipod is connect it will not boot even though boot from hard-drive is first option. [06:47] painted: so the system is working like it should, it just wasn't set to do exactly what you wanted, at the time === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [06:47] FWilhelm: u got windows on what primary drive or extended portion === n_nick is now known as c_nick [06:48] gnea, gotcha [06:48] gnea, how do i update my graphics drivers with the one i downloaded from nvidia? [06:48] can someone help me identify which videographics driver is my system using? [06:48] I have 2 hard drives. The first drive has windows installed I decided to try Ubuntu so I got a second hard drive and installed. If I remove the first hard drive Ubuntu will not boot. It is looking for the windows drive [06:48] ruser: lspci [06:48] kenyon: how's that gonna help me know video driver? [06:48] Is there a way to configure screen to skip the opening splash screen? [06:48] kenyon: that's enumerating hardware [06:49] ruser: oh yeah, read you wrong. [06:49] FWilhelm: remove meaning physically disconnecting [06:49] ruser, the easy way is to open xorg.conf and see what driver is loaded under devices [06:49] Yes remove, reformat and use for Ubuntu stuff [06:49] chuck_: it's a default xorg conf. yet i have direct rendering enabled [06:49] I want to get rid of windows completly [06:49] ls cg [06:50] chuck_: it doesn't say anything about drivers in it [06:50] no u didn't understand.. remove is different reformat is an entire different issue [06:50] FWilhelm: use Gparted. [06:50] FWilhelm, don't we all [06:50] ruser: Xorg.log [06:50] waaaiiiit, there is another question I would like to ask.. Anytime I log in, Ubuntu always start as a default user. is there a possibility to change the user account so I can run ubuntu as root? because I have lot of files I have edited from the root account, which I need to access in a graphical way [06:50] Drikan: refresh :) [06:51] I used GParted and set the boot flag but it still doesn't boot [06:51] painted: from nvidia.com? [06:51] are there files I need to copy over? [06:51] gnea, i already downloaded it [06:51] Do one thing FWilhelm since u have formatted the windows drive.. there should be nothing there... [06:51] chouchou: run gksudo nautilus [06:51] chouchou: that is pretty dangerous. running in root you can easily mess things up for good. i would recommend running in a user and using sudo [06:51] painted: you ... don't. don't use the drivers directly from nvidia.com, they will make life worse [06:51] gnea, i just need to update the generic drivers with the one i downloaded from nvidia [06:51] I haven't formatted yet [06:51] ahh [06:52] gnea, oh okay... where do i go to turn on the nifty 3d effects? [06:52] well then physically disconnect that drive and set the jumper on the hard disk to primary then connect and see [06:52] painted: System->Administration->Hardware drivers [06:52] when i started ubuntu . my usual resolution did not come .. instead a different resolution came in..... i did all options in recovery menu... yesterday, the screen resolution window detected my desktop as viewsonic, but today it says as unknown..... and also its not showing up my usual resolution of 1440 * 900 or similar to this..... help me to get back my usual resolution ......... [06:52] jumper of ur second drive [06:52] chouchou, ubuntu doesn't do root log in's to X, AfAIK [06:52] Ubuntu [06:52] says no operating system found [06:52] ruser, look in Xorg.0,log it will tell you what driver is loaded [06:52] kenyon: he said xorg.conf hrm.. looks like radeonhd [06:52] ok [06:52] thanks [06:53] FWilhelm: do u know something about the jumpers on the harddisk [06:53] painted: it will say [Recommended] and then just activate it, then you need to reboot once it's installed. that's it. [06:53] okay, now can someone clarify for me if the catalyst proprietory driver has support for the radeon mobility x1400? [06:53] lol [06:53] how do i manually add a resolution thats not shwon in monitor resolution settings ? [06:53] Need help setting up a logitech chillstream joypad; dmesg lists it being plugged in and it works fine in xp, but it does not get installed(driver maybe?) have tried modprobe xpad, and joydev, nothing [06:53] yea, I am a hardware specialist for 20+ years. It Ubuntu I am new to :) [06:53] ruser: lspci, is probably the easiest [06:53] in that case, how do I run file explorer in a root mode? === Aryan is now known as Guest73561 [06:53] galvanize: you clearly dind't read the question. [06:53] ruser, proprietary i know has support for 1250 [06:53] when i started ubuntu . my usual resolution did not come .. instead a different resolution came in..... i did all options in recovery menu... yesterday, the screen resolution window detected my desktop as viewsonic, but today it says as unknown..... and also its not showing up my usual resolution of 1440 * 900 or similar to this..... help me to get back my usual resolution ........ [06:54] * bc puts on a gigantic hat [06:54] FWilhelm: you stand now on the long beach that faces a wide ocean ;) [06:54] gnea: all right ill give that a goo BRB [06:54] ruser: was typing didn't see you latest question, my apologies. [06:54] I hope to never look back too lol [06:54] FWilhelm: ok is the master slave combo of ur drive correct [06:54] i put on my hat and wizard robe [06:54] galvanize: none of my questions invlove listing PCI devices :) [06:54] chouchou, type gksudo nautilus [06:54] galvanize: and no worries [06:54] yes [06:54] r00t_: hrm. the 9.4 one? [06:54] * Gnea fashions a dingy together for FWilhelm [06:54] just make ubuntu's master and remove windows and tell me what happens [06:54] gnea, so nvidia linux drivers are not good? [06:55] yup. [06:55] painted: eh? what did it install? [06:55] how do i manually add the resolution that i want ? (thats not shown in montior setting ) [06:55] ruser: ha :) sorry. misunderstood then. [06:55] r00t_: no problems under januty? [06:55] HOW ? [06:55] gnea, i didn't install it, only downloaded [06:55] no operating system found [06:55] gnea, more accurately, i don't know how to install it [06:55] haven't had any yet, updated from 8.04 [06:55] r00t_: did you get them off repos, or did you download them from the ati wbsite? [06:55] ive done both [06:55] painted: okay - it's basically like i said: you don't download and install it from nvidia.com [06:56] r00t_: oh, then stay where you are, thre problems in 9.04 [06:56] on this particular partition ati website [06:56] ah ok ok. sorry I didn't know it was that :) [06:56] HOW do i manually add the resolution that i want ? (thats not shown in montior setting ) help me [06:56] painted: which nvidia card do you have? [06:56] gtx 280 [06:56] you want to edit the x.org file to add the resolution [06:56] should be as simple as going to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [06:56] KingKimi: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:56] painted: it will say [Recommended] and then just activate it, then you need to reboot once it's installed. that's it. [06:56] bc ok [06:56] KingKimi: might break, so backup xorg.conf first [06:57] are there certain files that need to be on the drive before it will boot? [06:57] but u told me not to use them... [06:57] hi [06:57] How do i check whether i have glib and gtk+ installed on my system? [06:57] bc yesterday monitor settings detected my monitor as viewsonic..... but today it says unknown.... why ? [06:57] :( [06:57] why do i get ^[[A when i press up in my ssh server, its a ubuntu-server [06:57] painted: no, i told you not to use the driver downloaded *directly* from nvidia.com. the driver installed via the Hardware Drivers downloads it from the ubuntu repositories. [06:57] Gnea: interesting. for some reason my gnome doesn't containc systerm->administration- since i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, my soundcard apparently disappeared, but lspci says: 00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 04) [06:57] what should i try doing? [06:57] ruser: and you're using what version of ubuntu? [06:58] gnea, ah i see [06:58] jascase901, use dpkg --get-selections |less [06:58] Gnea: jaunty [06:58] matju: upgrade to 9.04 ? [06:58] Hi dear.. [06:58] gnea, hardware drivers says everything's up to date [06:58] Gnea: well it hasnt locked up yet [06:58] anybody have any luck installing logitech chillstream gamepads? [06:58] no not really FWilhelm did u install Ubuntu correctly.. otherwise format the first drive and install it there.. then it will work fine [06:58] Rhorse: thanks [06:58] who is official helper here :) [06:58] KingKimi: im not sure. you can try dpkg-reconfigure xorg (I think) [06:58] kenyon: really? is that a 9.04 bug? [06:58] painted: with a green light? [06:58] gnea, oh wait, it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [06:58] who can help me about smb-ldap? [06:58] bc give me that full command [06:58] thnx [06:58] matju: don't know, but why use 8.10 now? [06:58] KingKimi: that was it, dpkg-reconfigure xorg [06:59] who can help me about smb-ldap? [06:59] Drikan: hrm [06:59] any Lenovo T500 uses here ? [06:59] kenyon: so that i don't break too many things at once on my system. it's less risky. [06:59] KingKimi: also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for EE lines [06:59] Gnea: any ideas? why i don't have the 'hardware drivers' menu in jaunty?

[07:40] kenyon: assuming he is using vim :) [07:40] ruser: I am using vim [07:40] mib_e4fdjq, if u use manual , you have to make a ext partition for root ... and a swap partition twice as your RAM [07:41] KingKimi, i know, but i made a mistake. i chose to do 13% for ubtuntu (15 gigs of space) and in the next window, i pressed backspace. it went back. now the only way to install ubtuntu onto that empty space is by doing it through the manual, instead of guided [07:41] MrEgg964: or even crontab -l and copy/paste it. [07:41] Kingkimi to find out if Xserver is identifying your monitor go to /var/log/Xorg.0.log and find the section about EDID, to find what screen resolutions you can use at the moment type xrandr [07:41] .

[07:43] brassmaster1: the school of thought follows you would need to be able to swap out memory onto disk. considering that you can have your swap completely filled up during runtime, you need another same ammount to write to swap the image of the memory [07:43] Fossilised, is it set to auto connect [07:44] chuck_, yes [07:44] Fossilised: you use ifconfig to up the interface, iwlist to scan, and iwconfig to associate. and then dhclient stuff [07:44] Fossilised, ifup -a [07:44] kenyon: yes and then I get this, do you know how deezer looks? http://twitpic.com/4tyec [07:44] chuck_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/167511/ [07:44] ruser: In practice, my swap is precisely 0% utilized at all times. [07:45] brassmaster1: then you must have lots of ram :) [07:45] thanks ruser and chuck_ [07:45] you can try to run a dozen of vms [07:45] ruser: or i'm reading the stats wrong. [07:46] donald: looks like you're not using the adobe flash plugin, but swfdec or something? [07:46] brassmaster1: possibly that cause i see some swap being used with my memory not filled out. anyhow you need to be ready for the worst case scenario [07:46] how can you tell how much swap is in use? [07:46] top [07:46] top and system monitor both tell me 0k of 0k are in use [07:46] donald: Do you mean Youtube? [07:46] kenyon: I've tried getting the Adobe flash from the site but it's still the same problem [07:46] brassmaster1: cat /proc/meminfo [07:47] bullgrade4: What do you mean by "Do you mean YouTube?"?

[09:53] windowsmasher, how can it not find the file i am looking at it right now! [09:54] Raf: sudo mount -a [09:54] carick: done [09:54] You're trying to over write xorg.conf yes painted? [09:54] yes, windowsmasher [09:54] In the /etc/X11/ directory? [09:54] Raf: go to nautilus and see if there is a new bookmark on the side [09:55] carick: nautilus? thats like windows' explorer, right? how do i open it? [09:55] painted: xorg.conf isn't normally writable by a regular user.. you need to be root to edit it [09:55] WindowSmasher: I already tried without success, nothing happened. An interesting thing it that i left the new session opened (it was black) and the screensaver was launched. When i moved the mouse, everything appeared! The other session was working fine. [09:55] Slart: He is [09:55] Raf: yes, place>home [09:55] places>home* [09:55] is there a log i could check anywhere to see what kind of error may be happening? [09:55] carick: ok [09:55] WindowSmasher, painted: hmm..then it's odd.. [09:55] Raf: it may also be in the places menu [09:55] Slart: My brain hurts [09:56] carick: what will it be called? [09:56] ferdul: /var/log/Xorg.0.log. there also might be a gdm log in there [09:56] painted: how are you editing the file? [09:56] Raf: there should be something like XX.X GB Drive [09:56] ferdul: "there" being /var/log/ [09:56] Slart: gksu gedit [09:56] is there a way i can log in as root [09:56] carick: no... [09:56] Raf: or you can browse to /etc/windows [09:56] painted: yes, but it's discouraged and won't help your situation [09:56] painted: yes.. but no.. [09:56] Raf: i mean /mnt/windows [09:57] painted: and what happens when you try saving the file? [09:57] yes, im in it now [09:57] it says can't find the file if i do it with gksu gedit [09:57] Raf: are your windows files there? [09:57] if i try to do it normally, it says can't save [09:57] carick: yes. amazing. thankyou so much. how can i keep them there, a bookmark or something [09:58] checking... [09:58] painted: do you use the "file, open file" menu in gedit to open the file? or do you run it all from the command line, such as "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" ? [09:58] Raf: ? it will mount on boot, but if you open up a terminal and type ln -s /mnt/windows windows you will create a link to that direcotry in your home directory [09:58] slart, all from the command line [09:58] carick: i made a bookmark of them. i think i love you :) that is incredibly helpful. Now...when i edit/create a new folder, will the same happen in windows? [09:59] painted: you have a capital X in X11 ? x11 and X11 isn't the same thing in linux.. case sensitivity and all that [09:59] carick: ln -s /mnt/windows windows ? [09:59] slart, that must be it, thank you very much [09:59] Gnea: ok ive pasted the dmesg pretaining to the cd rom i think in the forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7244238#post7244238 [09:59] Raf: yes, make sure you can create a file there though. go to terminal: and do that ^^ [09:59] painted: you're welcome [09:59] carick: ok [09:59] carick: done [09:59] Raf: then cd windows [09:59] Gnea: so how do i force it to use the drivers for the gsa-h42n? ive seen peole say that works [10:00] carick: ? [10:00] when it says restart x server [10:00] does that mean restart computer or log out and log in [10:00] Raf: in terminal: cd windows [10:00] carick: done [10:00] Raf: touch test [10:00] painted: neither.. logging out and in wont restart X.. rebooting will but it isn't neccessary.. perhaps it is the easiest though [10:00] carick: in terminal? [10:00] yep [10:00] well, i only see initialization and driver info... [10:00] ok [10:01] how do i restart x without rebooting, slart [10:01] carick: done [10:01] i thought this could be a common issue or something [10:01] no problem! [10:01] Raf: okay, then you should be all set [10:01] Raf: rm test to remove that file [10:01] awesome :D. so what did we just do? [10:01] Painted: becaus its auto starting ya got to restart [10:01] hi, my laptop don't have sound driver. [10:01] Raf: made sure you had right permissions [10:01] thank you drikan, i'll be right back [10:01] s/right/write [10:02] painted: there is, or there was, a shortcut in the versions before jaunty.. you could press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to restart X.. for some reason they've removed that ability now [10:02] carick: awesome. brb, im restarting and seeing if that worked [10:02] !next [10:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about next [10:02] Slart: Because apparently too many people hit it by accident. [10:02] !setdriver [10:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about setdriver [10:02] thank you, good bye [10:02] painted: there is another way though.. read the entire thing before starting to press buttons since your irc client will be hidden (and later killed) once you do the first keypresses [10:03] okay, slart [10:03] Slart: xorg-server 1.6 disables it by default === mirk_ is now known as mirk [10:04] painted: first press ctrl+alt+F1, this will switch to a full screen console thingy.. then you run the command "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" .. it should restart X and give you a login prompt [10:04] Slart: you can re-enable it if you want [10:04] Slart, painted: You could restart X with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [10:04] carick, keith: thanks [10:04] hmm.. come to think of it.. perhaps you don't need to do the ctrl+alt+f1 just to restart X.. well well [10:05] i need a faster ubuntu [10:05] painted: FYI im still rather green when it comes to linux [10:05] apt-get install fasterubuntu [10:06] Slart: I suppose you could also go to run level 3 to kill X, lol. Not exactly a good way to do it though. [10:06] that wasnt exactly funny, but you took me seriously so i couldn't expect much from you [10:06] keith: isn't runlevel 3 the standard runlevel in ubuntu? [10:06] question is, is there a way i can remove components from ubuntu before installing it? [10:06] SCREEN USERS? is there a way to tab complete window names with C-a ' ?? [10:07] it would be a dream if i could go through and remove all kinds of thing before installing [10:07] Slart: 2 is default (2-5 identical) === Diwas_ is now known as Diwas [10:07] jrib: ah.. thanks [10:07] boringpackets: go to archlinux :P === danorsk[afk] is now known as danorsk [10:07] Slart: yeah, what he said [10:07] boringpackets: you can use the mini iso and install what you want [10:07] hello everyone. i have a problem in ubuntu regarding torent downloads. is this the right place to discuss about it? [10:07] !mini | boringpackets [10:07] boringpackets: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:07] carick and histo great suggestions, i'll have to let both those ideas roll around in my head for a bit [10:07] !ask > Diwas [10:07] Diwas, please see my private message [10:08] boringpackets: how familiar are you with linux? [10:08] boringpackets: I would install a command line system then hand pick what you want. [10:08] familiar enough to use google [10:08] Diwas: go ahead [10:08] that means a total guru, just a slow one ;) [10:08] lol, slart, i couldn't figure out how to start x server back up [10:08] boringpackets: or there is linux from scratch. Some people have built a linux from scratch system just to learn more about nix. [10:08] Diwas: since you're considerate enough to ask if it's ok I guess the other question will be sensible too =) [10:09] hey, is ext4 stable enough for use? [10:09] boringpackets: haha, well arch is a little more difficult than ubuntu but it is blazing fast and you get only stuff you want [10:09] TAsn: I think it's considered stable in jaunty [10:09] painted: it didn't start up automagically? [10:09] boringpackets: but ArchWiki rocks! [10:09] nope, lol [10:09] Slart, thanks. [10:09] ext4 is stable yeah, and since it chooses block size based on data algorithms its a bit better than 3 [10:09] carick: hi [10:10] drikan, help plz :) [10:10] i have done several cold shutdowns with ext4, no data corruption at all [10:10] yeah i have heard good things about the arch wiki, and that 72 page beginners guide lol [10:10] painted: try startx [10:10] unable to hear sound in the tux guitar application.....support please [10:10] does anyone have experience with Privoxy? I do: sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart and get Restarting filtering proxy server: privoxy. [10:10] i have some bleeding edge hardware, that kinda sucks for learning on [10:10] but it is not working [10:11] since intrepid i cannot download any torrent in ubuntu. no matter which torrent downloader i use, everytime it gives an error. i have posted in ubuntuforums, but no reply yet. torrent manager like DELUGE says after some minutes of downloadin "Status: Operation not supported" in Ktorrent it says "couldn't write to path ..." and in utorrent under wine it says "Error: Request not supported" in... [10:11] ...you want screenshot here's the link (http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=111699&d=1241031331) [10:11] carick: you are a genius. I don't think that I can thank you enough.. [10:11] drikan, do you think you can help me set my monitor at native resolution? [10:11] Is there anyway to "configurate" shockwave player to linux firefox?!? [10:11] unable to hear sound in the tux guitar application.....support please [10:11] carick: does this mean that when i edit/create documents in ubuntu, the same thing will happen in windows? [10:11] configurate lol, just say configure [10:11] painted: honestly im as new as you. nvidia automaticly detected my native rezolution [10:11] : p [10:12] configurate sounds kind of .. nice.. I think it will be a hit =) [10:12] Raf: yes, but you cannot do it the other way (easy anyway) cause windows doesnt have support for ext3 filesystems [10:12] perfectly cromulent word =) [10:13] oh and i forgot to mention that my target drive is ntfs and yes i tried to make / my target drive but still won't work. any solution? :S [10:13] hello experts, my flash player in ubuntu 9.04 in youtube videos is not working fine. The video has only audio and video start and stops in jerks immediatly [10:13] ubuntu 9.04 really is a great version [10:13] carick: does that mean that if i edit/create a document a file in windows, it wont change in ubuntu? [10:13] Raf: edit: if you change something on your C:\ drive it will change in ubuntu /mnt/windows, but you cannot edit you /home/ directory for instance [10:13] anyone using tuxguitar....i am unable to play sound [10:13] Raf: ^^ [10:13] diwas ntfs-3g /dev/foo /foo [10:13] carick: what is my home directory? [10:14] or just "add to panel" a disk mounter diwas [10:14] hey, can someone tell me the right modulename for bcm4312? [10:14] right click on gnome taskbar hit add to panel, disk mounter [10:14] @boringpackets [10:14] my drive is mounted. no problem in it. [10:14] Raf: where all your config files are for a specific user and the defualt place to save shit [10:14] hmm then whats the problem diwas [10:15] Raf: if you open a terminal you are in your home directory '~' [10:15] Hello. Can I watch my windows files (documents and etc.) on linux? [10:15] boringp: i cannot get torrents to work. it isnt downloading [10:15] live: yes you can [10:15] carick: um...so what will, and what wont, change [10:15] carick: from OS to OS [10:15] carick: Could you tell how? [10:15] live: is your windows drive mounted in ubuntu? [10:15] since intrepid i cannot download any torrent in ubuntu. no matter which torrent downloader i use, everytime it gives an error. i have posted in ubuntuforums, but no reply yet. torrent manager like DELUGE says after some minutes of downloadin "Status: Operation not supported" in Ktorrent it says "couldn't write to path ..." and in utorrent under wine it says "Error: Request not supported" if... [10:15] ......you want screenshot here's the link (http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=111699&d=1241031331) [10:15] diwas thats probably some port forwarding issue, did you try a high seed low leech torrent just to make sure? [10:15] neldoreth: try doing "lsmod | grep -i bcm" and see what you find [10:15] Raf: anything you change in /mnt/windows with change in windows C:\ and vice versa [10:15] hello experts, my flash player in ubuntu 9.04 in youtube videos is not working fine. The video has only audio and video start and stops in jerks immediatly [10:16] Raf: C:\ = /mnt/windows [10:16] boringp: yes. i did. same in windows XP works [10:16] Hay canal de habla espanol aqui? [10:16] !es [10:16] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [10:16] carick: awesome :D could you think of a situation where that's a bad thing? [10:16] live: is your windows drive mounted in linux [10:16] Raf: nope, i do it too [10:16] diwas that is odd, i used transmission earlier today and it worked great in 9.04. [10:16] Slart: thats the thing - nothing - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt - and there is no module loaded [10:16] carick: awesome. this really makes me happy. that's my schoolwork [10:16] hello experts, my flash player in ubuntu 9.04 in youtube videos is not working fine. The video has only audio and video start and stops in jerks immediatly [10:17] i tried that as well. and like others, it also says "Operation not Supported" like in deluge [10:17] Raf: just dont go changing stuff in /mnt/windows/ you wouldnt change in C:\ [10:17] carick: yeah, i know. im pretty good when it comes to windows, but ubuntu, seeing as i have only used it for a total of about 48 hours, makes me cry sometimes :P [10:17] neldoreth: hmm.. perhaps it's using ndiswrapper.. I've never had one of those cards so I'm really just guessing here [10:18] Raf: this may be over your head, but the real solution would be to create a shared partition that both windows and linux have access to [10:18] just few kilobytes of downloads and then its gone. just the error message. btw i am suspecting smthg else. my network manager always says to configure VPN setting. it didnt come up before, but it started in Intrepid. i have a wired ethernet connection. [10:18] Slart: hm do you think that ubuntu 9.04 is using ndiswrapper on its own? [10:18] hello experts, my flash player in ubuntu 9.04 in youtube videos is not working fine. The video has only audio and video start and stops in jerks immediatly [10:18] any ideas for the tuxguitar issue anyone ? i am guessing it has something to do with midi [10:18] Raf: it gets better.. I've used it for a couple of years now.. I only cry .. once a month or so.. with the occasional sob at mondays.. ;) [10:18] is ubuntu 64bit really that much faster than 32? [10:18] anyone installed vmware recently and have the 64bit archive from the vmware server handy still? silly site is down for maintenance :( [10:19] Well, my windows went down and I've inserted the linux CD. Can I trasfer my documents and other files from hard C:/ to hard D:/ ? [10:19] carick: that's exactly what i wanted to do. do you think you could walk me through it sometime? [10:19] neldoreth: it wouldn't really surprise me.. that hardware manager thingy is quite clever sometimes [10:19] slart: haha. that actually made me lol :D [10:19] boringpackets, dunno, but you need 64bit to have more than 3gb memory, and somethings use more memory under 64bit because it allows larger numbers, etc. [10:19] im just @ an attempt to install micro$oft .NET 2.0 on wine for a application using this howto: http://tinyurl.com/5mr73o [10:19] does ANYONE have tssoft.acm? [10:19] elky ah, i do have more ram than 3, so i guess i ought to use it [10:19] Slart: hm ok, i would have never thought about that - but so ubuntu has to ship windows drivers with it :? [10:19] hello experts, my flash player in ubuntu 9.04 in youtube videos is not working fine. The video has only audio and video start and stops in jerks immediatly [10:20] i would pay a dollar for tssoft.acm [10:20] any solution please? about the torrent thing. [10:20] brb [10:20] boringpackets, i am using it now, and i have had no 64bit specific issues with it. === dereine is now known as dereine[OFF] [10:20] Raf: potentailly i am rarely in this IRC, i usually hang out in #archlinux [10:20] neldoreth: it could download them from somewhere.. like it does with the adobe flash plugin [10:20] elky im using it now too, seems pretty fast, except x64 kills my wireless (in both windows and any linux distro) [10:20] now i have no idea what: "Make sure you operate on a clean WINEPREFIX (~/.wine)!" means [10:20] i need to get that replaced [10:20] someone could tell me plz? [10:20] boringpackets, sounds like a problem with your wifi, not the OS ;) [10:20] Slart: ah ok, but i guess i got the error - it created an eth1 device instead of an wlan0 :D [10:21] hello experts, my flash player in ubuntu 9.04 in youtube videos is not working fine. The video has only audio and video start and stops in jerks immediatly [10:21] elky, tis why i mentioned both windows and any linux distro [10:21] in other words, implied [10:21] neldoreth: ahhh.. =) [10:21] carick: then ill ask my friend to help [10:21] im going to sleep [10:22] Raf: it isnt hard i could walk you through it now if you would like, but you would want to backup your data [10:22] hello experts, my flash player in ubuntu 9.04 in youtube videos is not working fine. The video has only audio and video start and stops in jerks immediatly [last message] [10:22] Tuxguitar sound issue anyone ? [10:22] Slart: but i guess the network manager can not handle it as an wlan device, you know a way to tell him that or do i have to connect manually [10:22] pronoy, did you install any midi sequencer? [10:22] carick: one moment [10:23] mudassar, please dont repeat so often. [10:23] carick: back [10:23] What's the best way to back up data? I'm going to reformat my drive (Kubuntu) and install Ubuntu. But I'm getting all sort of permission problems. [10:23] carick: i am currently at my friends house, without a memory stick, so i dont really have an option to back things up [10:23] than i wouldnt do it [10:23] carick: OK [10:23] hey im back [10:23] what does: "Make sure you operate on a clean WINEPREFIX (~/.wine)!" mean? [10:23] now i have a worse problem [10:24] Diwas: you mean like timidity ? [10:24] pronoy: yes. [10:24] Diwas: is there another one which is much lighter ? [10:24] Raf: ive never lost any data but that doesnt mean it is safe [10:24] i installed the official nvidia drivers (using their whatever.run file) and then i upgraded my kernel. Now i get an error in logs saying i have a version mismatch (for nvidia or something) [10:24] pronoy: may be Java Sound Synthesizer [10:24] any idea what i can do? [10:24] Diwas: is it in the repos ? [10:24] carick: I don't really care about data. or could it affect my windows partition... [10:25] why do they make linux so much harder to use than windows [10:25] carick: don't worry about it. in the words of my friend: [10:25] it says client has 169.12 and kernel has 71.86.04 [10:25] carick: you dont need it in another partition!!! [10:25] pronoy: to be honest with you, i have never tried it because timidity worked great for me. so you have to search it for yourself. [10:25] Raf: potentially, once again it never has happened to me [10:25] Diwas: appreciate it.. [10:25] carick: no, dont worry. if this works, then its fine :D [10:25] Raf: tell him linux support for ntfs isnt great [10:26] carick: thankyou so myuch for your help [10:26] Hey every one how do i specify my dvd-ram drives drivers? [10:26] Raf: no problem [10:26] carick: i told him [10:26] pronoy: sorry for not being much of a help, but did you install timidity and did this? "timidity -iA -Os & [10:26] tuxguitar" [10:26] timidity -iA -Os & tuxguitar [10:27] Diwas: timidity is too large for download from where i am accessing the net...so.i'll try the java sound synt [10:27] Raf: i would not recommend Writing to NTFS but you can read form it just fine. unless you trying to read a personal folder [10:27] Drikan: whaaaaaaaa? [10:27] painted: it's because people know windows, and not linux. That's why everyone is telling that linux is harder to use [10:27] pronoy: oh. good ok, try it. good luck :) [10:28] Diwas: btw you know anything about nmap ? [10:28] Raf: how new is your friend to linux [10:28] Drikan: your knowledge is outdated [10:28] :P [10:28] Raf: personal file folders like your Documents and settings folder in windows you wont beable to read it [10:28] pronoy: i am afraid not. sorry. [10:28] carick: he has been using ubuntu for close to a year and a half now === Aryan is now known as Guest58085 [10:29] Diwas: ok..thanks anywasy [10:29] Drikan: your knowledge is outdated [10:29] you can read them fine [10:29] heya guys, >.< just wondering how do switch my audio over to my headphones (USB headphones) [10:29] and writing won't fuck up your disk either [10:29] Drikan: i store all of my work in a folder, and it seems to be working well at the moment [10:29] okay, i'm starting to get the hang of linux [10:29] * HinHin is using Ubuntu 9.04 [10:29] it's kinda crazy how you can install things from command prompt [10:29] i am leaving now...damn my torrents. its been more than 6 months tryin to solve that problem. [10:29] It's not crazy, it's just... really different [10:30] Although, sometimes it's better to look for the program on the net [10:30] the repos are often outdated [10:30] Drikan: that isnt true [10:30] carick: correction; it's no longer true [10:30] Drikan thinks it's 2006 or something [10:30] roxahris_: same thing [10:31] roxahris_: haha [10:31] does anyone know? [10:31] Roxahris: allright then why can i not access my personal files on my NTFS drive? [10:31] HinHin: looked in... audio? [10:32] Drikan: who the hell is Roxahris [10:32] roxahris_, doesn't work globally [10:32] Drikan: cause you are a noob [10:32] e.g. when i play a game like Urban terror [10:32] Drikan: unclean drive? [10:32] Hmm [10:32] Try rightclicking on the volume thingy [10:32] Wait, no [10:33] Don;t listen to me [10:33] So you telling me that even thow my docs folder is encryped that linux dosent cair and still should be able to access it? [10:33] ... [10:33] im leaving [10:33] bye everyone [10:33] Drikan: are you using vista?

[10:34] because they're encrypted [10:34] roxahris_: haha [10:34] speaking of which, I wonder how that password crack is going [10:35] brb [10:35] Look all i know Linux has not had verry good support for NTFS [10:36] Drikan: yes, i know, it is getting better, but of course it wont read an encrypted drive.... [10:36] Carick: not the entier drive is encrypted just my docs [10:36] Drikan: doesn't matter [10:37] Drikan: fine then encrypted folder/file...what ever [10:37] sorry i just know a hell of a lot more about windows then i do about linux [10:37] also, it's been on all day, and all it's gotten to is... 3Uub...

[10:38] Personally, I prefer wicd [10:38] alli got to do is figure out where the device manager is in linux lol [10:38] It works better, imo [10:38] Device Manager? In MY Linux? [10:38] Look, Drikan. You can't read encryption on NTFS. [10:38] End of story. [10:38] Go into Vista again and decrypt it [10:38] what [10:38] mt [10:39] Why would you encrypt it, anyway? [10:39] or set up a shared vfat partition :) [10:39] roxahris_: no im not going to decrypt the file my issue is compleatly diffrent any ways [10:39] roxahris_: passwords are very easily cracked or bypassed [10:39] what's the command to batch replace some text into a text file? [10:39] carick: pfft [10:39] also, it's been on all day, and all it's gotten to is... 3Uub... [10:40] password cracking is a tough sport [10:40] 3Uub? [10:40] Patrique: sed? [10:40] roxahris_: but password bypassing is not [10:40] This program I use checks every character combination [10:40] Hmm. It isn't. [10:41] well i found a script using sed but it's not working at all [10:41] any one know where i can specify the driver ubuntu is using for my dvd-ram drive? [10:41] http://xantorohara.blogspot.com/2007/11/howto-batch-replace-string-in-set-of.html here's the script [10:41] Google for the driver? :x [10:41] 10:29 < painted> it's kinda crazy how you can install things from command prompt [10:42] i don't understand why it don't work tho... [10:42] well i've been using windows all my life [10:42] painted: what's crazy about that? [10:42] roxahris_: live cd ? [10:42] not only does it install things, gordonjcp, but it also downloads it [10:42] Patrique: define "doesn't work" [10:42] all from command line [10:42] painted: yup [10:42] for a windows user, that's pretty crazy [10:42] Any opinions on bottom-post snips? [10:42] i think i'm liking this linux thing [10:42] painted: doesn't Windows have that? [10:43] Live CD? What do you mean? [10:43] no, windows doesn't have a repository of all available programs... [10:43] i get no error message... and it return read: 26: arg count [10:43] they do if made by microsoft and are still supported lul [10:43] painted: well, Ubuntu doesn't either, it just has the commonly useful ones ;-) [10:43] Hello. I've recently installed 9.04 and trying to share folders with my other XP computer. It works on XP. I've tried following some simple tutorials and some default optinos and it didn't work. I would be helpful to get some guidance about it. [10:43] painted: you know how Ubuntu is based on Debian? [10:43] painted: yea me to im a big time windows user as well for most of my life and im rather liking linux just linux you have to be more picky about the hardwear you install on your computer [10:43] gordonjcp, wellw indows doesn't have ANY :P [10:43] roxahris_: how hard is it me to get a live cd, boot onto it as root and do whatever i want to your non-encrypted drives [10:43] Thanks [10:43] getting nvidia gpu to work on 9.04 is a doozy [10:43] Patrique: hang on, I'll take a look [10:44] no, gordonjcp i don't even know what debian is [10:44] carick: not hard at all! [10:44] roxahris_: good answer [10:44] drikan, it's working with all my hardware, drikan [10:44] Guest58085: what, click on "enable restricted driver", log out, log back in? [10:44] But! [10:44] How would you get into my house?! [10:44] ok got it to work by installing dhcpcd (i have no clue why it was not installed :?) and editing the udev rules so eth1 becomes wlan0 again [10:44] roxahris_: lol [10:44] drikan, in fact, it worked with my wireless card out of the box even on live cd, with windows 7, i had to install it manually [10:44] where i click on that [10:44] roxahris_: the door? [10:44] If my files were that important I'd sleep at my chair with a shotgun [10:44] im guessing that isnt the problem, but [10:44] painted: yea im having issues with my dvd ram drive hears the forum i posted http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7244238#post7244238 [10:44] I'd lock the door! [10:44] Bar the window! [10:45] from what i've googled it appears most people are having trouble with 9.04 and nvidia [10:45] painted: Debian Stable - if you what the whole shebang - comes on 31 CDs [10:45] Guest58085: [10:45] ummm, ntfsdecrypt anyone? [10:45] How can one modify the session list viewable on kdm and gdm, I wish to add an obscure WM I installed to the list. [10:46] Anyone here can help me with samba then? Thanks [10:46] tomolds: ubuntu usually does that for you [10:46] i just enabled desktop cube, how do i use it [10:46] Patrique: you can replace that by extracting the "replace" function [10:46] carick: It does if you get the WM from the repos. Like I said, it is obscure. [10:46] painted: ctrl+alt+mouse1 [10:46] painted: look at the shortcut keys and use them [10:46] ctrl+alt+right arow [10:47] Patrique: are you trying to replace a string in a whole directory of files? [10:47] tomolds: ah, well i got ion3 (which i feel is obscure) [10:47] regevs: what is your issue with samba? [10:47] Drikan: that swaps desktops [10:47] he wants the desktop cube: I assume he wants to rotate and play with it [10:47] yes i wanna play with it! [10:47] i wanna replace all occurences of a word in every files of a directory and subdirectories [10:48] tomolds, I am not exactly sure. I'm trying to share folders with my XP computer, and after trying to follow some basic tutorials it doesn't seem to work [10:48] I'm not sure what to do now [10:48] Guest58085: what exactly is the problem you're having? [10:48] [NetworkManager 0.7.1-rc4.1] Starting Ubuntu 9.04 without assertion of System > Preferences > Startup Applications > Network Manager, I will get an IP4 address and network access. (I only have to key 'sudo dhclient eth0.) Starting it without this assertion, I will have no eth0 network access. Where should I look for an associated error message? [10:48] regevs: It is really very simple, there are a wealth of tutorials, Google is your friend. [10:48] gordonjcp: the stuff described here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1136205 [10:48] Patrique: make a backup of the directory you want to alter, just in case [10:49] of course [10:49] I realize that [10:49] regevs: check the archlinux wiki they are usually pretty good, but you will have to modify the commands to the ubuntu couterparts [10:49] hey do you know if open office's writer can do batch replace? [10:49] I tried doing that but I can't seem to see my windows network from ubuntu [10:49] regevs: Just make sure that on your server that samba is running using ps, if it is then you know your configuration is borked, keep tweaking until it works. [10:49] i'm gonna look [10:50] carick, I will try that, thanks [10:50] regevs: you're using //win_ip/sharename format to connect? [10:50] tomolds - what is ps? [10:50] painted: so, did you try what I said? [10:50] Patrique: and then something like "for i in `find /path/to/directory`; do sed 's/OLDSTRING/NEWSTRING/' $i > tmp; mv tmp $i; done; [10:50] regevs: a very useful tool, man ps [10:50] hi, how can I set up multiple (custom) nameservers in jaunty while using dhcp autoconfiguration via networkmanager? [10:51] I.. went to the file browser, selected "Network", then "windows network" [10:51] roxahris, it didn't work [10:51] Then it said it can't connect [10:51] oh wait, it works.... but it's not a cube [10:51] lol [10:51] Guest58085: are you using SLI? [10:52] painted [10:52] Weird [10:52] i dont nkow that acronym [10:52] Guest58085: are you using two video cards linked together?

[10:53] regevs: good, sometimes the "automatic" detection ain't all that. [10:53] yes, because the nvidia errors [10:53] so i dont have a choice [10:53] Guest58085: can you disable the onboard in the BIOS? [10:53] I'm pretty clueless in linux, I can't really do anything besides "automatic"... :) [10:53] Guest58085: quite often there's an option to set whether the primary graphics adaptor is onboard or PCI-E [10:53] if i did then i would have no display at all, because as i said the nvidia errors [10:54] as described in the thread [10:55] ill figure it out when i have time [10:55] i was just mentioning it [10:56] wow [10:56] hello everyone. i am back...but still the torrent's problem is not solved.

[10:59] there is no way that apt-get wouldnt work like that [10:59] painted: if you dont use a cube and use walls instead it would be a 2x2 matrix for example [10:59] because the actual softwareis just a frontend for that command [11:00] !grub | Eggbertx try to follow the instructions to reinstall grub after installing widnows [11:00] Eggbertx try to follow the instructions to reinstall grub after installing widnows: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[11:05] and i dont want to go get a 105key, they suck [11:05] so referring to that url u gave me i should use the autosupergrub disk? [11:05] jrib: not really, i mean theres some hits that are related [11:06] but generally its like [11:06] people asking if they are usable in linux [11:06] nigtv: what do you mean by "i just am not going to have a dvorak much longer"?

Do you obtain about the same speed? [11:16] I have an ubuntu box acting as a samba folder, with a couple of drives shared. If I create a symlink between a folder on an unshared drive and a shared drive, the symlink is followed correctly, and it works fine when accessing the share from a windows box - however in linux the symlink is translated to a local mount for some reason, any ideas?

[11:24] Forget about the openSUSE and the CentOS install - I was just trying to give you some background on the problem. The problem is that my Ubuntu won't boot, with the error I said above. [11:24] yes [11:24] ph8: system -> administration -> software sources [11:24] ah [11:24] link? [11:24] hotcat:yes to me? [11:24] jrib: Gah i was looking for an deb* line [11:24] why? [11:24] I suppose i can do it the gui way :p [11:25] hello [11:25] JacobGee: reinstall grub, check the uuids are correct [11:25] !hi [11:25] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:25] ph8: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [11:25] or something like that [11:25] !grub > JacobGee [11:25] JacobGee, please see my private message [11:25] im not sure of the exact path [11:25] jrib: how do you reinstall grub? [11:25] then you would have to comment (out/in) whatever you wanted to change [11:25] nigtv: but proposed isn't there commented by default [11:25] anyway i've used the gui thx [11:25] ph8: then read your /etc/apt/sources.list, it should be commented in there as "jaunty-proposed" instead of "jaunty" for example [11:26] oh [11:26] !grub > Eggbertx [11:26] Eggbertx, please see my private message [11:26] i am using mcedit in ubuntu 9.04, the tabulations shows like <------> at the beginning of each indented line, making the file hard to read, how can i disable this behaviour? [11:26] jrib: yes the whole size of the partition [11:26] sirdiego: can you pastebin? [11:27] heres sort of a weird question, if there were a limit on the number of keypresses that can be registered at the same time, that would most likely be a limit controlled by the os, and not the hardware, right? [11:27] maybe [11:27] although the hardware might have one too [11:28] one of ubuntu machines on network is throwing tons of dhcp inform packets making entire network slow [11:28] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/167711/ [11:28] i have already disabled ip6 and sytem is using static address [11:28] why its throwinhg dhcp inform packets [11:28] be back tommorow guys [11:28] me too [11:28] and i actually really do mean it this time [11:28] im leaving [11:30] one of ubuntu machines on network is throwing tons of dhcp inform packets making entire network slow [11:30] why its throwinhg dhcp inform packets [11:30] i have already disabled ip6 and sytem is using static address [11:30] sirdiego: my guess would be that formatting a partition with a filesystem takes up some space, right? [11:31] hey, how do i enable so i can use my shared folder in win xp in VirtualBox ?? [11:31] hey all [11:31] * PodeCoet cries [11:31] * Boohbah hands PodeCoet a tissue [11:32] kryle: you can try #vbox or read the vbox documentation if no one here knows. I don't remember offhand [11:32] jrib: hmkay, i found a clue :D [11:32] maybe I should run windows native, with linux under virtualbox - instead of the other way around :P [11:32] kryle: I do remember it's in the documentation though [11:32] Hi everyone [11:32] jrib: How would I go about checking if the UUID's are correct? [11:32] hey there [11:32] PodeCoet: why? [11:32] one of ubuntu machines on network is throwing tons of dhcp inform packets making entire network slow [11:32] i have already disabled ip6 and sytem is using static address [11:32] why its throwinhg dhcp inform packets [11:32] !uuid | JacobGee [11:32] jrib: using -H instead -h does the job [11:32] JacobGee: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [11:32] mmm [11:33] JacobGee: ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [11:33] Boohbah: Made the move from windows to linux 18 months ago, after 2 months of excessive pain everything works... Then my install completely breaks, so I reinstall, and there are HEAPS of tiny agravating issues that nobody seems to be able to help with [11:33] sirdiego: hmm, that's kind of weird. So parted defaults to using powers of 1000 instead of 1024? [11:34] jrib: So I compare the output of the two commands? [11:34] oh [11:34] dont worry [11:34] how do i permanently disable dhcp in ubuntu [11:34] I have the uuids, how do I check if they are correct? [11:34] how do i permanently disable dhcp in ubuntu [11:34] one of ubuntu machines on network is throwing tons of dhcp inform packets making entire network slow [11:34] popogomomo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:34] i have already disabled ip6 and sytem is using static address [11:35] PodeCoet: it used to be that way for me too. if you are willing to work through the issues you will learn lots of good things [11:35] hi [11:35] how do i permanently disable dhcp in ubuntu [11:35] sirdiego: or I guess parted just queries the hard drive and the hard drive probably reports that [11:35] can anyone tell me why my torrent speeds are cr@p using transmission [11:36] Boohbah: I tried, ALOT... I dunno, I figured you know what, maybe if I dist-upgrade things will likely be fixed (in fact I was sure of it), but then I get slapped in the face with KDE4 :P [11:36] are there setting i need to do? [11:36] how do i permanently disable dhcp in ubuntu [11:36] its drwoning my network [11:36] jrib: good idea, another question, needs the root reserved blocks on my home partition? [11:36] DHCP inform packets [11:36] sirdiego: nah, you can change it with tune2fs [11:37] jrib: yeah, ok thanks for ur help [11:37] how do i permanently disable dhcp in ubuntu [11:37] PodeCoet: oooh... yes, i am still using kde 3.5.10 and hardy for that reason [11:37] DHCP inform packets are drowning my network [11:37] how do i permanently disable dhcp in ubuntu [11:37] Boohbah: same! KDE4 is terrible [11:37] DHCP inform packets are drowning my network [11:37] !repeat | popogomomo [11:37] popogomomo: 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 [11:37] popogomomo: Turn off the DHCP server? [11:38] popogomomo: disable dhcpd? [11:38] DHCP client [11:38] PodeCoet: err not hardy but intrepid. maybe you can try that [11:38] hello all, i am reading the documents for creating a ubuntu mirror. But I have a strange requirement. I want to know if I can carry a complete repo of ubuntu packages on an external hard disk or 16 gb pen drive and use it as a mirror? I might not have a lan cable or there is just one machine where I want to install ubuntu and the client does not have internet access. is there a way to create such a mirror? [11:38] popogomomo, just use a static IP address then you will have turned on DHCP [11:39] i am already using it === lucille is now known as sp4ke [11:39] popogomomo, then sudo apt-get remove dhcp [11:39] popogomomo: Then, there's something wrong with your setup. [11:39] why O why its spamming entire network with DHCP INFORM packets [11:40] Boohbah: *cries* - Would a dist-upgrade get me to Intrepid without bursting into flame? [11:40] if you have turn your ip into static then there should be no more dhcp happening [11:40] [11:40] [11:40] wendy__d-_-b: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:40] Boohbah: I should I do a complete reinstall? [11:40] hi everyone [11:41] hi anonusing [11:41] hello [11:41] popogomomo: Turn off the machine that's doing it? [11:41] PodeCoet: probably a clean reinstall would work best [11:41] yeah [11:41] hi, i installed vbox [11:41] Damn. I'd better backup everything then lol [11:41] but usb is not working, how can i fix this [11:42] PodeCoet, thats why i keep a different partition :) [11:42] wendy__d-_-b: I keep a separate drive :P [11:42] oh wait [11:42] that too [11:42] i want to disable dhcp all togetger [11:42] is it possibl;e [11:42] popogomomo: yes [11:42] how ? [11:42] any idea mates ? [11:42] popogomomo, if your using STATIC then you have disable dhcp! [11:43] hi [11:43] Hasanibrahim, what os are u running on xvm?

[12:28] Does anyone know how to convert a ogv in flv with hight video quality and lightly ? [12:28] for the moment i use ffmpeg with this : ffmpeg -i test6.ogv -ar 22050 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 96k -vcodec flv -b 300k -g 150 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -mbd 2 -flags +aic+cbp+mv0+mv4+trell -y OUTPUT.flv [12:28] i just closed firefox while a youtube video was playing, firefox closed but the audio from the video is still playing/looping (about 200ms), i tried sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restar but when alsa comes back up the sound is still there im running 8.10 and ff 3.0.10 [12:28] ubuntuXY: i reckon that won't work [12:29] i'd love it if it can work, but yeah i dont think it will either [12:29] the quality is good but the file not very light [12:29] he said he converted a line-in to a line-out by changing the driver somehow [12:30] Dreamglider. control alt backspace will restart x and probably get rid of the problem [12:30] pepe: the more quality the more heavy the file.... no much yu can do about it [12:30] Hello, Can somebody tell me if he knows the solution of mouse problems in ubuntu, When I use to scroll webpages or anything - system gets stuck for few seconds and then resume back, it is very annoying [12:30] !dontzap | joot [12:30] joot: 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 ».

[12:31] ubuntuXY, the mic usually has a preamp, you could try a voltage divider to lover the input (THat's what i did) [12:31] ubuntuXY: kill -9 $PID [12:31] Hi! I might have figured out what's my problem with my update from 8.10 to 9.04. So, I've changed my theme like this http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-to-mac-osx-leopard/2008/07/23 so, could it be that my computer won't load the log in screen because of that I've changed the log in screen and it can't find it? [12:32] Hi all, I have an acer Extensa 4420, and the suspension (and most likely hibernation) does not work. Anyone know which acpi settings I should probably experiment with in order to get it to work? [12:32] joot: crtl + al + backspace is disable din recent xorg/ubuntu [12:32] how can I use a voltage divider? [12:32] I installed alsa-oss and now kaffeine cannot use oss for the audio plugin anymore. Help me, please.

[12:32] ersul: thanks for your reply this command transform a 600K to a 400k but with .mp4 there is 117k with high quality... [12:33] ubuntuXY: What exactly are you trying to do? [12:33] How can I mount a USB drive when my ubuntu does not detect it automatically ? [12:33] robinpahwa123: first try and figure out if your kernel sees it with the 'dmesg' command... you should see some /dev/sd* output if it has [12:33] ubuntuXY: generally if it's to attenuate the signal for a mike input, you'd make up a little cable with two resistors in it [12:33] Wait, suddenly it works again after i closed all programs and reopened kaffeine... [12:34] I've also done this: http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/11 if that helps? can anyone help me figure out my problem? [12:34] I want to convert my mic port in to a line-in port [12:34] Why can't I use several audio programs like kaffeine, Amaork at the same time? [12:35] hmm, is there no SW method, such as changing a driver setting? [12:35] hi guys. im trying to compile a source tar that requires a specific version of LTP. ltp.sf.net says that the newest version is 1.7.x, but the ubuntu packege has a date in the version field (using dpkg --info to get this). any idea on how to extract the actual version number from the package ? or has anyone here encountered a problem such as this ?

[13:02] iceroot: It probably depends on what you want out of the two. [13:02] bonhoffer: np, you could pipe to grep too and use -v (invert results) but -not should do the job just fine :) [13:02] your talking to me [13:02] Jack8899 you sure its not installed, is the box still ticked? [13:02] xavierp94, connect the HDMI up and go into preferences>display [13:02] clearscreen, i am doing an exec with it, so grep would complicate it [13:02] display [13:02] Yes [13:02] bonhoffer: alright [13:02] Tech-Frog: No its greyed out.

[13:10] EoL{s}, you could try adding this to the kernel options in grub 'resume=/dev/sdax' where x is the partition number for the swap file [13:10] xavierp94: meh..... you have to press a key combination like fn+F8 [13:10] the command line drives me crazy [13:10] Jack, find the flash package, remove it, and install the restricted one again [13:10] really? [13:10] fn+F8 [13:10] xavierp94: yes [13:10] oh [13:10] i just installed 9.04 from 8.04.2 and kept my /home partition. i changed my user name, so i was wondering if there was an easy way to just copy everything from my previous user folder to my new one [13:10] I didn't know that [13:10] can i just rename the folder? [13:10] I'll try that [13:11] I'm looking for a video editor that has a greenscreen feature. [13:11] xavierp94: laptop? [13:11] giacomo_carissim, well guessing you don't have the permissions for the files (because of the different username) there may be a problem [13:11] can i do it as root? [13:11] or sudo [13:11] i suppose you could [13:12] but that is not recommended. [13:12] you can do all as root [13:12] giacomo_carissim gksudo thunar would work [13:12] Tech-Frog: doesnt help. [13:12] aah [13:12] Chances are it will break something though [13:12] lol [13:12] why not nautilus [13:12] Nautilus then if you like that [13:12] i mean, its just a directory, right [13:12] Dunno then Jack8899-2 [13:12] espeak wuah [13:12] giacomo_carissim, each file has its own permission [13:13] so what should i do? [13:13] giacomo_carissim, and your new username is not included in those permissions [13:13] space_cadet: I checked with some guys earlier, and they said it was most likely due to ACPI. Suspension works, the screen just remains blank until I restart. [13:13] copy everything individually? [13:13] EoL{s}, is your swapon? if so how big is it? [13:13] no that doesn't work [13:13] hey folks, what's the best/easiest video and audio conversion program for ubuntu? i need something for my family's computer so command line stuff is a no-go. [13:13] giacomo_carissim, i would say... do it all over again.. and this time use your other username [13:13] something that supports many formats. [13:13] or create an account with your old username [13:14] space_cadet: Unsure if it's on. It's probably about 8 gigs. [13:14] space_cadet: ok ok [13:14] EoL{s}, type 'free' at the term [13:14] :) [13:14] giacomo_carissim: I dont know if I'm missing something those other people are saying will mess up but should be no problem to copy home over as root and then chown it to your new username [13:14] estan: for audio: soundjuicer . i'm not sure about video [13:14] hi [13:14] giacomo_carissim: I've copied over home many times before [13:14] oooo, what's this mabus? [13:14] djiezes: thanks! i'll check it out. [13:14] any help here with printers ? [13:14] mabus, with a different username? [13:14] mabus, it's not just the /home, but from two different usernames [13:15] djiezes: hm. seems to be a CD-ripper, does it do conversions file->file? [13:15] so it'd be going from /home/original to /home/newname [13:15] estan: yeah, i'm wrong, i meant soundconverter :) [13:15] fn+F8 [13:15] two different ones? I thought you just had an old one. you can interactively copy it over, or overwrite, or whatever [13:15] doesn't work [13:15] and then make sure they're all owned by the new username [13:15] djiezes: ah. cool. [13:15] with chown [13:15] the allmighty chown [13:15] xavierp94: ok check for a F key which has a square on it [13:15] ok, so what would i do to change ownership? chown -r newname? [13:16] or something to that effect [13:16] fn+F8 [13:16] xavierp94: which laptop? [13:16] giacomo_carissim: basically yep [13:16] only [13:16] Hi all, Looking for a PCI wireless card. ANy suggestions for a make/model and supplier? (paypal prefered) [13:16] Hp Pavillion dv6700se [13:16] base10k, ebay [13:16] fn+F8 changes my screen brightness [13:16] base10k UK or USA?

I'm experiencing a number of difficulties, but I believe the root of the problem has to do with the fact that upon opening System -> Preferences -> Display, the system starts to lag and the Display manager is just an unpopulated window. It does, however, function normally when the external monitor is not plugged in. Any ideas? [14:04] If not garbage bin'd, then I think you're sunk. [14:05] where can i get a good Linux training .. ?????????? [14:05] roxahris_: by mistake i have delete one javascript file.. i want to recover it..

Songbird allows me to import this media and it will play fine, but if i restart or shutdown the computer.

Just create a file or folde called test) then change it's name and hold ctrl and right arrow key [14:52] i'm trying to boot into a live session of 9.04 and it keeps putting me into busybox, i tried running check disk for defects and it ran for a little bit and then put me back into busybox, i tried doing apic=off it gave me an error and noapic also gave me an error, anyone know why it keeps throwing me into busybox?

[14:53] coz_, it doesn't work if you "start" as far to the right as possible, but if you go to the left one step and then ctrl right a few times you'll end up to the left [14:53] dokin, I cant seem to recreate that here but then those directions are a little difficult..this is a file not a folder correct? [14:53] peleus: right click network manager-edit connection, wired, and choose on ehighlight it and delete it [14:54] hi [14:54] coz_, doesn't matter. same thing happens with both files and folders.

[15:12] buzzzz, basically he's a script backed up by a database of popular responses to questions. People use him to send repetitive information to people.

[15:14] montel: i believe all file systems are prone to it, purely because if you delete random files, which then become open blocks of spaces on the hdd, they will be reused, unless of course reiser or the fs in question actually moves the entire file on the fly.. (i doubt it though) [15:14] scream: rm -r folder/ [15:15] montel, can't wait for ext4 to be the default. I heard there's a big improvement in speed.

That's what it was. [15:21] LjL: ummmm, yes it will? [15:21] montel: no, it won't. i've done it several times. [15:22] "dpkg --reconfigure kdm" will pop a chooser dialogue i think. [15:22] montel: thanks guys, looks like i am going to dump the contents elsewhere and then move them back sequentially. (although according to the article that may not work also) [15:22] LjL: lol. if you install that, then log out, and click sessions, GNOME will be there. [15:22] buzzzz: you can convert ext3 to ext2, defrag, then convert to ext3 but you will gain very little and defragging stresses the drive physically [15:22] buzzzz: np [15:22] is /etc/modprobe.d/aliases depreciated in 9.0.4?? I can't find it anywhere. [15:22] montel: besides, if someone's asking how to switch to kdm, telling them to install the whole of ubuntu-desktop does seem a bit excessive. [15:23] montel: ...?

I have destination drive ntfs but also tried to download in / but still doesnt help. It all started since... [16:46] ...Intrepid. I have posted a thread regarding this in ubuntuforums but no reply till today. any help? suggestions? [16:46] khensthoth, thnx [16:46] Yanick_: they are not good drivers.

In that case you will see the process as a stand alone entry without parents [17:12] Does somebody know if I could open a distant shell on ly xubuntu box?

[17:17] debacle, all of those tools can be easily managed via a point and click web interface. this is much safer and easier than having a GUI [17:17] it does during the "detecting CDROM" step [17:17] dies* [17:17] diwas: I don't know how to do that in chatzilla. Just use filebin.ca if in doubt. [17:17] mzz: ok. [17:17] potyl: running the command now [17:17] debacle, is your www server going to be visible on the web, or is it just going to be a local testing server?

GRUB Loading, please wait...Error 17 - any ideas how to fix? [17:19] one of my .dll files aren't updating from a program [17:19] and i need to find out why :/ [17:19] nautilus offers some network sharing menus (backed by samba?) which have allowed me to share read-only (after login with my unix id) to a windows box, but not read-write. [17:19] what's likely to be keeping me from sharing rw? [17:19] debacle, i HIGHLY suggest that you run nothing other than a www server if it's going to be visible on the net. this is because the fewer resources you have running on your computer, the less chance your server can be hacked. [17:20] hello [17:20] Myztikal_: A DLL is compiled code. Similar to an EXE. Unless you're the author of the program or an experienced hacker, there's little chance you can learn anything from looking inside a DLL file. [17:20] jazzlamb: apparently "error 17" is "Cannot mount selected partition: This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB", and since you're getting just the error code, not a message, it's saying that about your /boot partition (trying to load stage2) [17:20] jazzlamb: reinstalling grub is probably the best fix [17:20] mzz: its in ubuntuforums now. the link is (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7246020#post7246020) [17:20] in other words, find a diffeent place to store personal crap [17:20] debacle, you can use something like vmware to separate your server resources. [17:21] anyone who has knowledge how to use printers look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7246006#post7246006 [17:21] potyl: the command you gave me recorded at an INSANE speed with no sound and crashed when i hit ctrl + c [17:21] debacle, that is one option. but if your server has enough ram, you can simply use a virtual machine solution. [17:21] nautilus has an "allow ohter people to write in this folder" option. is that just chmod o+r? (i couldn't tell if it was related to the [network] sharing) [17:22] how to do this - cd, code - I try several keys and all fail to move away from the error message; Ubuntu Desktop 9.04 is in [17:22] yowshi: my doesn't record sound :) [17:22] diwas: hmm, that's oddly short [17:22] potyl: my?

[17:24] but im stuck at step 9 section k [17:24] diwas: I'm hoping to get an strace log for a program that actually gives you a strange error message. One way to do that is start the app, look up its pid, then do "strace -p thatpid 2>/var/tmp/stracelog", then trigger the error message, then ctrl+c strace [17:24] yowshi: you need to go to the gnome irc servers === [DaRK-SkG] is now known as [SkG] [17:25] jazzlamb, when you say cd, code do you mean your trying to change to another directory [17:25] debacle, if you have enough ram you can run your www server and email server in separate virtual machines. [17:25] Does anyone know something about putty? [17:25] diwas: or exit the app completely, then do "strace thatapp 2>/tmp/stracelog" again (so the instance you run under strace actually gives you the error message too), but the -p option will give a shorter log, which is good.

[17:27] deany: I'm pretty sure you have some steps in the wrong order there (you're creating a new partition near the end, but you're never actually mounting it or copying data from the old /home onto it?) [17:27] Is there a better solution? [17:27] debacle, that's MORE than enough to use a virtual machine solution. with virtual machines, you would essentially be turning one computer into several.

[17:39] (Even sysrq+REISUB doesn't work) [17:39] oh, whatever 8.04 installed the first time. likely ext4 [17:39] rob: yes, the dot is not magical, it's a convention that filenames beginning with '.' are hidden from normal view.. === DaveIngram_ is now known as DaveIngram [17:39] Why would this happen? It seems to be primarily when deleting a large number of files [17:39] so 'mv .foo .foo2' [17:39] ok thats what i thought, just wanted to check, thanks [17:39] garym: no, 8.04 can't handle ext4. If you're downgrading from 9.04 I wonder if the 8.04 installer is balking on any ext4 partitions it can't handle that 9.04 could. [17:40] sda1 was windows, but it's been broken for so long I thought I'd scrap it and lvm sda1 to sda5 [17:40] hi, does unetbootin supports 9.04 alternate iso? [17:40] garym: oh, if there's any lvm involved you might need the alt install cd. [17:40] no, 9.04 did not create any partitions [17:40] or format any [17:40] Hi! I have problem with the XBMC PPA [17:40] mib_dsqoho5h: I'm still not sure I understand.. it somehow discovers a raid and initializes it? why does it even bother about the raid stuff if you don't tell it to?

[18:38] bc: it happens with my 4gb pendrive [18:38] bcmorr2: you should have /usr/bin/g++-4.2 [18:38] personsetup: Hey dude [18:38] Ljorring: that applet is j just an application software to adjust volume [18:38] robinpahwa124: ..but I think it's related to the usb disk, because there is a similar problem that happens when some usb disks are mounted and they keep going to sleep. [18:38] hi [18:38] bcmorr2: are you sure g++-4.2 is installed correctly? [18:39] what audio hardware do u have? [18:39] whats the latest version for ps3?

[18:40] robinpahwa124: as a last resort, you can try disabling 'legacy usb support' in the bios. (mice are different than disks) [18:40] Menace: Best choice is YellowDog [18:40] bcmorr2: why would you want that? unless the thing you're trying to build has a really annoying build system simply doing something like "./configure CXX=/usr/bin/g++-4.2" will work [18:40] guys do you know how to copy the content of one txt file into another using vim in command line [18:40] noks: vim can do :r (for read) then enter path of other file [18:40] bc: where will I find the legacy usb support [18:40] noks: i think i got that right.. :) [18:41] mzz: you there? what should i do? [18:41] ok ill try now [18:41] mzz: nice, I was unaware you could configuire it to change the compiler it used [18:41] diwas: multitasking, will tell you when I know something [18:41] bcmorr2: well, exactly how depends on the build system used [18:41] mzz: ok i will be waiting. [18:41] robinpahwa124: it's different for every bios. look under usb related options, then look for 'legacy' or 'usb 1.0' [18:41] bcmorr2: saner than copying compilers around though imho === Guest75530 is now known as adam_ [18:41] wow nice works again thanks [18:42] robinpahwa124: it's entirely possible the option isn't there, too. [18:42] diwas: I'm not currently in ubuntu, waiting for deluge to compile now [18:42] mzz: haha indeed, I don't have the best way to do things I just have my faulty logic on gerry-rigging ;) [18:42] hi [18:42] mzz: ok ... which OS are u working in? [18:42] diwas: gentoo [18:42] how do i install flash [18:42] bc: Do you mean that I cannot use my usb disk from now :( [18:42] mzz: so with the way you've shown me, I can keep g++-4.3.3 installed and if something doesn't compile with 4.3.3 I can just configure it to run on 4.2? [18:42] Ljorring: check ur audio hardware and then see if u havethe drivers installed [18:43] bcmorr2: exactly [18:43] mzz: beautiful [18:43] mzz: oh..never tried it. i am still a newbie u know. haha tried installing Arch but couldn't configure etc and other configuration files while installing [18:43] load noisyquery.pl === [DaRK-SkG] is now known as [SkG] [18:43] adam_, for ubuntu? or for ubuntu ultimate?

[18:44] malik__: I dont know where to do that.. [18:44] can anyone help me im trying to multiple screens [18:44] mzz: I didn't enjoy all the gnome integration [18:44] bcmorr2: why? I can spare the hd space for gnome [18:44] Scix: Hi again. I have tried google.. There are many people writing about the bug, but I cant find a solution anywhere [18:44] bcmorr2: just having that stuff installed is not a problem, I just won't necessarily run it [18:44] mzz: ubuntu is relatively easy (i've heard a lot of em...) so why do u want to migrate? philosophy behind this distro? [18:44] i like it and [18:44] robinpahwa124: either something strange is going on with that usb device, or it's a bug [18:44] try lspci -v }less and look for section Audio [18:44] mzz: fair enough, I just prefer to keep installed what I'm using instead of packages I don't use/need [18:44] it easier to manover [18:45] sorry try: lspci -v | less [18:45] diwas: because I'm hitting too many annoying glitches in gentoo (I'm on "unstable" in gentoo, which is actually still behind 9.04 ubuntu in things like xserver, stable is even further behind) [18:45] malik__: ty, trying [18:45] bc: what is the command to see my raw devices [18:45] things especially when there is too many windows one the screen [18:45] diwas: I can fix the glitches but it gets annoying [18:45] robinpahwa124: which devices? [18:45] heya [18:45] Almost every time i reboot, ALSA is not working when i log in... [18:45] trying to get the proper scaling driver to work on an HP 2133, in #! 9.04 that I installed from a minimal ubuntu cd [18:46] modprobe e_powersaver returns FATAL: Error inserting e_powersaver (/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/e_powersaver.ko): Invalid argument. [18:46] has anyone of you experiences with debian lenny? is there a difference to ubuntu? [18:46] Almost every time i reboot, ALSA is not working when i log in... [18:46] diwas: downside to switching is I can't fix glitches in ubuntu (yet) [18:46] scaling works but it uses the generic acpi-cpufreq [18:46] bc: my pendrive [18:46] robinpahwa124: see: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=736606 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/88746 [18:46] well how do i install flash [18:46] OldFarter: what do you mean that "ALSA is not working"? [18:46] mzz: but i am sure u can do it. its easy than gentoo! for sure. all u need to know is to work around for some time [18:47] I have a question, how do I make a notification message appear from a bash script in Ubuntu 9.04? [18:47] mzz: *easier [18:47] well how do i install flash for firefox [18:47] adam_: if you mean for firefox, you go and download the bz2 from adobe's site and extract the flash_player.so to your firefox plugin directory [18:47] No sound and mixer wont open... say it did not find any elements or devices to control [18:47] malik__: found 'http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3584333312/nm1711829' [18:47] Hi, does anyone know if there's a way to control an HDD other than hdparm? Mine doesn't respect hdparm settings =/ Can someone help me? [18:47] robinpahwa124: to view usb devices you can use lsusb command [18:47] malik__: found 'Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller' [18:47] ODDity: really? what's wrong with the deb? [18:47] thank u [18:47] malik__: wrong paste first :) [18:47] ok [18:48] robinpahwa124: also note `lsusb --help` for opts [18:48] so u have an intel Corp Audio controller [18:48] mzz: just do the deb then it will put it in /usr/something something but it's the same thing [18:48] or flashplugin-installer that is [18:48] i can get alsa to work most of the time by logging in to text terminal and doing "alsa reload" [18:48] malik__: yes, and it seems installed, I guess [18:48] where is bz2 i can only find YUM TAR RPM and DEB [18:48] however if i do alsa reload after i have already logged in to X... it say somthing about gvfs [18:49] malik__: but my sound is still missing [18:49] mzz: i just prefer extracting the .so and sticking it in the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory [18:49] im new to ubuntu how do you unzip : when i try i get this ::::::[/home/joesmith/Desktop/Install_AIM.exe] [18:49] End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not [18:49] a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the [18:49] latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on [18:49] the last disk(s) of this archive. [18:49] joesmith: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:49] zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/joesmith/Desktop/Install_AIM.exe or [18:49] that is the hardware listing of PCI devices in ur system. lets look for the driver for ur device drivers [18:49] Hi! Problem: my touchpad does not work on my Acer laptop after upgrading to ubuntu 9.04. "Touchpad" is enabled in preferences. Cant find a solution on google. Can any one help me? Thanks in advance! [18:49] lsof can not stat() /home/user/.gvfs [18:49] ODDity:well,i had it installed in mine and later upgraded,since then i cant watch videos on youtube,my browser queries for flash.Do you know where the problem could be? [18:49] OldFarter: ~/.gvfs is a bit special. I'd ignore messages like that one. [18:49] bc: thanks a lot for your time, the thread says that the bug is unsolvable by hardy [18:50] im new to ubuntu how do you unzip software [18:50] joesmith: well, you're trying to unzip a self-extractor. That won't always work (you might have to use wine to execute that one) [18:50] joesmith: ZIP archives or just some generic archive? [18:50] robinpahwa124: :( hang on to it, maybe you'll be able to use it soon [18:50] Dr_Willis: see the spam above :) [18:50] Dr_Willis: ("/home/joesmith/Desktop/Install_AIM.exe") [18:50] mzz: i got a small screen :) not muchbuffer [18:50] malik__: what is the command to do that? [18:51] bc: and what about my freezing problem... is it due to my usb ? [18:51] whee is the firefox folder [18:51] i just llok for a driver for you and we do it in a second [18:51] i think i have a new theory iut is the mic in my new camera that is causing my crashed [18:51] robinpahwa124: I believe it is. maybe reboot if you can and don't plug it in and see if the freezing goes away. [18:51] nmvictor: you just need libflashplayer.so in the ~/.mozilla/plugins directory [18:51] what's that website you guys post the code to? [18:51] diwas: look for "deluged" in system monitor [18:51] whee is the firefox folder [18:51] okok i want to intall a wireless driver and it wont intall and gives me this zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /media/FIRELITE/drivers/Setup.exe or [18:51] /media/FIRELITE/drivers/Setup.exe.zip, and cannot find /med [18:51] malik__: okay, thanks [18:51] diwas: or "ps ax|grep deluged" for that matter [18:51] i cant reboot properly now because every time i try the usb sound drivers jam alsactl [18:52] whee is the firefox folder [18:52] bc: no it doesn't go away even if I do not use my pendrive [18:52] Ryan are u there [18:52] joesmith: err, you're trying to install windows drivers. Don't do that. [18:52] ? [18:52] i anyone else having flash issues with firefox? [18:52] oh, i straced "deluge" [18:52] ok what do i do [18:52] i will again do it [18:52] adam_: home/yourusername/.mozilla [18:52] OldFarter: I had them, but they were somehow caused by NoScript [18:52] like flash elements just being gray blobs [18:52] thx [18:52] is there a way to unload those in advance of trying anything else? [18:52] diwas: sorry for going back and forth on this so much, debugging software I don't run tends to give results like this [18:52] robinpahwa124: if you plugged it in and removed it, it could still be stuck in an interation looking for the device, which is what that pastbin looks like [18:52] do u have dell or acer machine [18:52] i can hear the flash sound [18:53] restarting firefox fixes it for a while [18:53] joesmith: ubuntu isn't windows, drivers for windows won't work. What are you trying to get working exactly? [18:53] i've installed ubuntu but can't find outlook O.O [18:53] How do you you disable IPv6? [18:53] grrr modprobe -r doesnt work [18:53] mzz: no problem. i just want to use torrent so that i wont have to use XP hehe [18:53] robinpahwa124: people have seen similar freezes with external disks going to sleep (freezes periodically) [18:53] bc: but the problem [18:53] these things which are supposed to work never freraking work for me [18:53] wireless driver [18:53] malik__: I have a Lenovo X61s [18:53] ah u mentioned earlier [18:54] joesmith: yes, but for what card? [18:54] Hi! Problem: my touchpad does not work on my Acer laptop after upgrading to ubuntu 9.04. "Touchpad" is enabled in preferences. Cant find a solution on google. Can any one help me? Thanks in advance! [18:54] malik__: thinkwiki.org is a webpage dedicated to Ubuntu installations on IBM/lenovo. They claim it to work out of the box [18:54] bc: but the problem persist sporadically even when I do not use my pendrive from the very beginning after a reboot [18:54] linkys [18:54] as long as there are no runaway npviewer.bin [18:54] malik__: the sound* [18:54] robinpahwa124: as a first step I would leave a terminal with top open, and when it freezes look at the top processes and see if that has something to do with it (i.e. if something is using a lot of cpu) [18:55] bc: of course that assumes that terminal still updates (which it won't if this is compiz freezing or the like) [18:55] ciao [18:55] mzz: think it might catch it? [18:55] mzz: the error came very fast. so this file is short. [18:55] i need to kill my usb sound stuff and modprobe -r wont unload the modules [18:56] bc: it's worth a shot, but you might have to do something fancier (run top over ssh, or run a profiler) [18:56] robinpahwa124: does this happen with firefox open and flash currently on the screen or in another tab? [18:56] bc: by the terminal, do you mean System Monitor ? [18:56] robinpahwa124: no, a terminal. like gnome terminal, aterm, xterm, etc [18:56] ah u mentioned earlier; have a look here http://members.chello.hu/balla.gyorgy/balla-it/html/articles/20081230-asus-onboard-soundcard-configuration-on-xubuntu.html [18:56] bc: and how to see the processes / [18:56] linksys [18:56] robinpahwa124: `top` command [18:57] Anyone, please? [18:57] anyone tried the 9.04 alternate install with encrypted disks ? My machine hangs on boot just before asking for the password.. [18:57] i hope that seems relevant and will help you out [18:57] malik__: ty, checking.. [18:57] hey people. got a file named x.run on my desktop how do i use it on ubuntu? [18:57] guys how to move the first row to the last row of a textfile using vim? [18:57] What kind of specs should i have on a ubuntu media PC to play blueray from harddrive? [18:57] hey [18:57] bc: it looks same like a System Monitor [18:57] yowshi: maybe just rename the driver module so it can't load or blacklist it [18:57] with google not yielding any results, other than it doesnt work in hardy, i am looking for a way to get my canon canoscan D1250u2f working in 9.04 [18:58] it only has a driver for xp and vista [18:58] sacarlson: how do i do either and that doesnt fix my problem for this boot. and the next boot i will have to wait through a 5+ minute fsck of one of my biggest partitions [18:58] malik__: thank you I appreciate it. I will try and follow the guide [18:58] sacarlson: so i aint eager to reboot [18:58] welcome [18:58] mzz: their disk is udma active, no errors for root device. any other ideas? pastebin shows this, http://pastebin.com/m649d5309, but the freeze is happening without the drive being plugged in [18:58] diwas: ugh, can you try with "strace -f -p insertpidhere" just in case? [18:58] diwas: I just don't see anything failing in there, which makes no sense [18:58] noks: you MIGHT want to spend some time learning the text editor. delete a line with 'dd' move to end.. use 'p' to put line (insert) [18:58] robinpahwa124: it is similar yep [18:58] mzz: ok just a minute [18:59] noks: vimtutor program in a shell will give you a 20 min lesson on vi basics. :) [18:59] yowshi: you can almost always skip the file check [18:59] sacarlson: i dont know how to do that [18:59] okay ill try [18:59] bc: checked the rest of dmesg (the bit that went to syslog)? [18:59] bc: and I see my system freezez when I am running firefox, but the problem is also when I play a vedio (on any player , vLC is one of it), video freezes but sound remains playing [18:59] hey people. got a file named x.run on my desktop how do i use (install) it on ubuntu? [18:59] sacarlson: is the partition has been mounted X times check [18:59] noks: 'do or do not young jedi, in linux, there is no try!' [18:59] :) [18:59] Problem: my touchpad does not work on my Acer laptop after upgrading to ubuntu 9.04. "Touchpad" is enabled in preferences. Cant find a solution on google. Can any one help me? [18:59] Ljorring: this might also help a bit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=809700 [18:59] robinpahwa124: does it still freeze with desktop effects off? [19:00] yowshi: ya there is an option of esc or some key that will skip it [19:00] burningsebra: google: 'how to install .run file in linux" [19:00] mzz: the output of terminal is not stopiing. its just coming and coming. wat to do? :S [19:00] sacarlson: do you know the exact key? [19:00] diwas: ctrl+c [19:00] scannerhelp; will try that [19:00] how do i find out what kernel version i am using? [19:00] bc: No I haven't tried seeing it after putting my desktop effect off [19:00] yowshi: no sorry but it tells you when it boots [19:00] diwas: sorry, was vague there. I meant add "-f" to the switches you pass to strace (and redirect the output like before) [19:00] sacarlson: no it doesnt [19:00] RichiV: uname -r in terminal [19:00] can i install ubuntu from a usb key ? [19:00] scannerhelp: ok thnx [19:00] Has anyone installed Nagios from the repos and ended up with cgi authentication errors? [19:00] mzz: yes of course, but i want to know how long do you need the output? [19:00] malik__: following guide nr 2 :) [19:01] Hi, how can I have an electronic keyboard in ubuntu for a tablet notebook pen? [19:01] yowshi: different check? [19:01] how do i get docky to rest on the top of the screen rather than the bottom? [19:01] diwas: again the shortest reasonably possible run including the error [19:01] albacker2: yes, there are guides all over the internet, google: "install ubuntu from usb" [19:01] robinpahwa124: could very well be that you dont have enough processor and memory to run effects + video + everything you're running. [19:01] what is the command line apt-get install ________ for downgrading the kernel [19:01] sacarlson: i am talking about the hard drive/partition check ubuntu does when it mounts the hard drives every X number of times [19:01] diwas: that is: start logging while it's not in the error state, stop once it is [19:01] scannerhelp, isnt BIOS config enough ? [19:01] robinpahwa124: what video card? [19:02] with google not yielding any results, other than it doesnt work in hardy, i am looking for a way to get my canon canoscan D1250u2f working in 9.04 [19:02] yowshi: yes I beleave I know it happend to me about 4 days ago and I didn't have time to wait so I just skiped it 3 boots later I let it run. [19:02] bc: but right now the intensity of freezing is very high, I could not even type in here at pidgin for a long time, it freezes for some time and I have to wait - but whatever key I press it is written on the chat window no matter the screen freezed [19:02] i need to downgrade my kernel to an earlier version so i can install my mobility radeon x600 ATI driver [19:02] bc: Nvedia [19:02] sacarlson: which is particularily annoying because when i have a problem like mi am with my webcam where i have to reboot every 10 minutes i can run through 6 reboots and hour in just over 4 hours my biggest hard drives go throguh an fsck [19:02] joesmith, you cannot install windows drivers in linux you want to install ndiwrapper to make it work. If linix does not support your card. [19:03] robinpahwa124: are you using nvidia's drivers? [19:03] joesmith, ndiswrapper [19:03] joesmith: are you sure you actually need that driver? What card is it exactly ("lspci -v" may tell)? [19:03] albacker2, download unetbootin and go from there. [19:03] joesmith: don't resort to ndiswrapper unless you're sure you need it [19:03] no one knows how todowngrade the kernel [19:03] deany, unebootin ? i'm downloading the iso [19:03] bc: I don't think I have installed any thing, apart from normal installation files [19:03] RichiV: why would you want to? [19:03] yeah well i used a differnt one and it did it on its own but i want to use my better wireless card and it is not readin it [19:04] so i thoguth it might be the driver and it wont intall the driver [19:04] yowshi: so i can install my graphics driver [19:04] deany, aha.. i see, thanks [19:04] yowshi: I'm not sure why you can't just modprobe -r but I think I've had that hapen before but not often. find what it links to and remove those first [19:04] albacker2, make your partition on usb stick (i prefer fat32) . it will even download and make usb bootable.. thats ok then, tell it the iso to use [19:04] robinpahwa124: I would try turning off effects, and if it still freezes, try lowering your resolution and see if it freezes go away. I would like to suggest using nvidia's drivers, but that might cause another problem depending on your card [19:04] yowshi: my driver is not supported as they dropped abunch [19:04] sacarlson: snd links to it [19:04] sacarlson: as in the module for all sound on my computer [19:04] scannerhelp: installed it but got a error. can you look at it and tell me what i can do? http://pastebin.com/d5b91bfab [19:05] yowshi: maybe modprobe -r that first? [19:05] RichiV: install the newest version of saiud driver? [19:05] is there an easy way to get docky to rest on top of my screen rather than the bottom? i can find nothing in the preferences [19:05] sacarlson: then i have no sound on my computer at all [19:05] yowshi: saiud [19:05] hi, do 8.10 and 9.04 have similar X:s? [19:05] yowshi: I thought you already had no sound [19:05] yowshi: what is that? [19:05] asd: 9.04 has 1.6, I forgot what 8.10 has [19:05] sacarlson: no i have sound but the problem is the usb sound modules. they jam up alsactl on reboot they wont quit [19:05] yowshi: modprobe -r is only a temp change it will reload at boot [19:05] asd: so I guess it depends on your value of "similar" :) [19:06] robinpahwa124: it might be good to try using nvidia's drivers (system \ administration \ hardware drivers) BUT if it fails to get you back into X, then I won't be much help on that topic. Someone else here better at debugging nvidia problems would be more helpful. [19:06] 1.5? [19:06] Hi! Problem: my touchpad does not work on my Acer laptop after upgrading to ubuntu 9.04. "Touchpad" is enabled in preferences. Cant find a solution on google. Can any one help me? Thanks in advance! [19:06] RichiV: who makes your video card? what kind of card is it? [19:06] yowshi: sound like you need to blacklist them [19:06] yowshi: ati its an ATi Mobility Radeon X600 [19:06] sacarlson: edont know how to do that either [19:07] RichiV: alright ask around here how to upgrade your video drivers. i am not an expert so i am not the one to ask [19:07] bc: I am going to restart my system after stopping my Nvidea driver [19:07] does anyone know how to upgrade my graphics driver? [19:07] RichiV: you will probably wind up downloading them from ati's site and installing them manually [19:08] urgh, don't do that [19:08] mzz: in my case can I backup 9.04 my X11 folder and replace that with live cd;s 8.10 X11 file and hope it works by any change? [19:08] installing from ati.com by hand is not your friend [19:08] yowshi: ive doen that about 5 times... the graphics crash upon startup [19:08] How do you you disable IPv6? [19:08] asd: I recommend against that [19:08] yowshi: what's the name of the usb driver that you think is the cause of your problem? do you know? [19:08] sacarlson: yes i can list them [19:08] fbc-mx: disable it where? firefox has a hidden pref for it, not sure how to do it more globally [19:08] I'm trying to figure out if my kernel is compiled with something and /proc/config.gz is not present. Apparently it's not there by default with Ubuntu...how can I fix? [19:08] fbc-mx: (although there might be a switch in /etc/sysctl.conf) [19:08] do I need kernel sources? [19:08] If I want to write a script to switch between WEP and non WEP connection to the same ESSID, what can I do to detect a change? [19:09] bc: after putting it off and before restarting [19:09] Brack10: if this is still hfsplus: there really is no specific option for readwrite support [19:09] How do you disable IPv6 globally?(that works) *correction* [19:09] Brack10: if the kernel can mount it (without using fuse) support is enabled [19:09] bc: I feel that freezing is stopped [19:09] Help? [19:09] mzz: I figured that out, I had to chmod the mount po int [19:09] I installed the Ubuntu Studio Packages, but none of the programs that come with ubuntu studio are there [19:09] mzz, tired every ipv6 related switch,, and nothign worked.. [19:09] yowshi: ppl have told me to install an older kernel that has support for my driver [19:09] yowshi: paste.ubuntu.com a copy of ldmod [19:09] sacarlson: snd_usb_audio this is the big one the one that uses the other two which seem to be jamming alsactl on reboot [19:09] mzz: I need CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION = y [19:09] mzz, I think it's an undiscovered bug, because even the kernel options does not disable it. [19:10] damn, jaunty boots in 15 seconds or less on this lappy] [19:10] robinpahwa124: if nvidia is the problem, then asking someone here what adjustments to make in nvidia control panel might stop the freezing if you can find out which option is doing it. [19:10] add another 15 seconds for my apps to load when I log in, I love my toys [19:10] mzz: you want to help me fix my broken X? [19:10] Anyone know where to get the programs that come with ubuntu studio? [19:10] fbc-mx: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu.html do do the google ;) [19:10] fbc-mx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [19:10] eegore: Jaunty ftw [19:10] sacarlson: you mean lsmod [19:10] asd: I was actually sort of hoping to drop off irc for a bit in the near future, but if you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log I'll have a quick look [19:10] Brack10: running kde [19:10] diwas: urgh, still nothing failing in there [19:10] yowshi: ok just add that to a line on /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist  [19:10] eegore: oh kde ftl [19:10] anyone know how to use find to find all jpg and bmp files? something like find . -iname "*.jpg|*.bmp" [19:10] i just tried Firefox 3.4b4, and the font-rendering doesn't seem to work properly, I think it is not using the subpixel rendering scheme anymore (I am on 8.10), has anyone else experienced that too? [19:11] :P [19:11] Does anyone know how to turn off mouseclicks on touchpad? (Gateway 4540 Laptop) [19:11] Brack10: are you sure about that? if you can mount the partition at all... [19:11] beats the hell out of anything that comes out of Redmond [19:11] bc: nooo, it freezed again , ufff [19:11] mzz: http://pastebin.com/m35ecee9c [19:11] #zagaia [19:12] mzz: The problem is no longer interacting with an HFS+ partition, that works fine. I need to create an hfsplus partition that is bootable by a real Mac, and apparently I need CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION = y to do that [19:12] enterneo: I have heard others complain about it changing (and possibly no longer respecting the configuration in gnome's font preferences). Adding a ~/.fonts.conf might help. [19:12] mzz: :S now i am worried. this time i did exactly what u said. i am totally bewildered. INtrepid had it. and i installed Jaunty clean install. i thought the problem won't repeat but its there. is it due to network problem? coz there is one thing. i will send u a screenshot [19:12] Brack10: ah, that makes sense [19:12] ienorand, I did.. none of that works [19:12] tr_: you can go to touchpad's options, but I wonder if it's possible [19:12] mzz: Getting closer :) [19:12] user__, I wan tto disabled it globally. [19:12] diwas: I suspect there's something going wrong networking-wise but I can't tell what from the output so far [19:12]  yowshi: you need to add a line: blacklist snd_usb_audio [19:12] just plugged a the apps for K3B [19:13] Leszczoman: I have no idea... but will look for touchpad options. [19:13] mzz: this happened in intrepid too, the VPN thing i mean. but cannot solve problem whatsoever [19:13] asd: actual problem is? [19:13] mzz: you didn't find any errors there? no-one other did [19:13] tr_: You know, my touchpad's didn't work for Windows for a year, I installed Ubuntu and it began to work. [19:14] asd: I want to know what problem you're actually trying to solve before digging into the logfile [19:14] mzz: my actual problem is that after updating to 9.04 from 8.10 my log in screen doesn't load after booting. [19:14] robinpahwa124: do you get anything returned by this? `lsmod | grep nvidia` [19:14] hi, do you know any dhcp server which saves it's data in database? [19:14] oh, this actually looks vaguely familiar [19:14] asd: You can install a system from the disc. Maybe it'll work? [19:14] asd: "fglrxdrm" is still loading. You're mixing the radeon driver and bits of fglrx. Completely remove flgrx and try again. [19:14] mzz: basically I can't do anything after boot. When the boot is done I can do nothing [19:15] how can I remove fglrx? sudo aptitude remove fglrx? [19:15] asd: I'm sorry, I don't know how you installed it. That sounds promising though. [19:15] bc: I get "nvidia 7825536 24 [19:15] agpgart 34760 1 nvidia [19:15] i2c_core 24832 2 nvidia,i2c_nforce2 [19:15] " [19:15] robinpahwa124: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:15] asd: figure out what package owns /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux//libfglrxdrm.so and kill that package [19:16] i have installed a usb wireless controller to my ubuntu 9.04 system, how do i detect it coz ubuntu does not do it automatically [19:16] So is the consensus is that no one knows how to do it? Other than recompiling the kernel? [19:16] Hello, how can I trouble shoot a hard drive from the command line, when I sudo fdisk /dev/sde I get back, Unable to read /dev/sde [19:16] Hi! Problem: my touchpad does not work on my Acer laptop after upgrading to ubuntu 9.04. "Touchpad" is enabled in preferences. Cant find a solution on google. Can any one help me? Thanks in advance! [19:16] malik_: install usb wirelesss controler's controls [19:16] diwas: anything suspicious in the output from "route" and "ifconfig"? [19:17] how to do taht [19:17] robinpahwa124: if you did disable it, try exiting gnome and log back in. or reboot. (I hope you read what I wrote earlier about not being much help with nvidia! :)) [19:17] diwas: (both in /sbin) [19:17] Mejborg: I have acer and after install ubuntu from the disc, it works very well. [19:17] i dont know waht u mean by controls [19:17] touchpad. [19:17] malik_: iwconfig ? [19:17] mzz: iirc I don't really have fglrx [19:17] fbc-mx: depends on your value of "disable". What are you actually trying to fix? [19:18] asd: you do. The file I mentioned earlier exists. [19:18] mzz: I remember removing it a big while ago [19:18] bc: I noticed that there is no freeze after I killed emerald and compiz, do you think they can be a problem ? [19:18] so I gotta delete that file? /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux//libfglrxdrm.so? [19:18] Leszczoman: Mine is an 4 years old Acer Travelmate 2400. You think it will work with the disk? [19:18] asd: again, check what package owns that file (I don't remember the command for that) and remove that package. [19:18] asd: if the file is orphaned just kill the file. [19:19] Mejborg: Hmm, I have acer aspire 3690. Well, you can test it. [19:19] mzz: Any idea how one might go about determining whether his kernel has the proper support? [19:19] diwas: mmm, makes me wonder if you're hitting some ipv6ism too [19:19] diwas: although that really shouldn't be killing deluge, just slowing it down [19:19] it shows 4 intefaces but for all i get " no wireless extension" message [19:20] robinpahwa124: highly likely compiz [19:20] mzz, I need to keep my wireless from taking an ipv6 address...it's messing it up after a while... it fails for no good reason... every guide for previous versions of ubuntu tell me I have to disable ipv6 for that card. [19:20] Brack10: support? for the drivers you need? [19:20] Leszczoman: okay, thanks. I'll try then.. [19:20] i have lo, eth0, vboxnet0 and pan0 wireless is not listed [19:20] robinpahwa124: that sounds like either compiz or a bad interaction between it and your graphics card drivers then [19:20] mzz: i dont know. how to change it? i haven't done anything. and wats up with this VPN thing? i have just 1 computer, so i dont need it. [19:20] sacarlson: I need to know if CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION = y [19:20] or not [19:20] fbc-mx: hrm, not sure then, sorry. No wireless here, which obviously doesn't help. [19:21] robinpahwa124: if you find that it is compiz, you can start disabling things one by one in `ccsm` and that might track down the freezing [19:21] mzz: what can be the solution to it then ? [19:21] mzz: and i have router. when i connect the same router through USB it works without error. but i prefer LAN connection, and with LAN, i have shown you the screenshot [19:21] Good evening! Firefox shows all the pictures in very low quality - how may I change that? I first thought it has something to do with me connection via UMTS, but now I'm on via DSL - and the quality is still the same. Shitty. [19:21] robinpahwa124: I really don't know, would take more debugging than I want to do right now, sorry. [19:21] * mzz is trying to unirc but people keep asking questions he thinks he can help with [19:21] felix_: check for an annoying proxy. [19:22] Brack10: oh maybe you can find that file in /boot or /boot/grub maybe grep for it? === jrs is now known as jqes [19:22] felix_: also, try the same thing with a different browser. [19:22] felix_: (proxy is under edit -> preferences -> advanced -> network -> settings, iirc) [19:22] whats up [19:22] sacarlson: find / -name config.gz returns nothing. I read some forums that said it's disabled by default in Ubuntu then don't explain how to fix it [19:22] robinpahwa124: searching for others with the same gpu and the same problem would be a start, as would trying to figure out if there's a pattern to when it happens [19:23] bc: ok, thanks a lot for your help. [19:23] mzz: How to check for an 'annoying' proxy? Firefox is setup to use systemsettings. [19:23] why history doesnt work from bash script? [19:23] Brack10: just use /boot/config-* instead [19:23] felix_: try telling it to not use a proxy [19:23] mzz: And which alternative browser would you recommend? [19:23] why history doesnt work from bash script? [19:23] felix_: anything (nautilus could work) [19:23] Brack10: if it's disabled you will have to compile your own kernel [19:23] Brack10: that option is mainly a kernel configuration option if the kernel does not have that option enabled then you won't find config.gz in /proc Ubuntu uses one in /boot instead I do believe [19:23] scarlson: that's fine [19:23] felix_: the alternate browser is just a debugging step, to see if it's a firefox setting or something more systemm-wide [19:24] kitche: I don't have one in /boot either [19:24] robinpahwa124: sorry I didn't have a definite answer, but hopefully it'll lead you to a solution [19:24] Brack10: you don't have a file that says config- at all? [19:24] hi guys. [19:24] Brack10: CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION=y in config-2.6.28-11-generic [19:24] mzz: I will start working by disabling things in `ccsm` and if i could not get it right I will do what you said [19:24] Brack10: sicne it won't be config.gz [19:24] ahh [19:24] mzz: damnit [19:24] mzz: thank you [19:24] Quick question guys why is my browsing so slow but my download speed is fine :S? [19:25] so its not worth installing ubuntu on a ps3? [19:25] sacarlson: gah it loaded anyway === tuhina is now known as jussi01 [19:25] mzz: How to use nautilus for browsing? Simply typing an address does not work. And Firefox is now set up to not use a proxy and it still shows shitty image quality. [19:25] Menace: yellow dog is the 'official' gnu/linux for ps3 [19:25] eman: Maybe you got high lag? Or try disabling ipv6 [19:25] felix_: err, I got the names mixed up [19:25] bc: what you do ? [19:26] felix_: meant epiphany [19:26] s/lag/ping/ [19:26]  yowshi: even when blacklisted? just rename it === ripps_ is now known as ripps [19:26] robinpahwa124: developer (not for ubuntu, thank goodness for all of you :P) [19:26] I tried disabling IPV6 in Firefox still the same thing [19:26] mzz: man, ur hell of a busy guy. haha! [19:26] about:config ipv6 disabled changed it from false to true [19:26] sacarlson: rename it where? [19:27] diwas: meh, this doesn't take that much attention, although I get in a silly mood if I do it for too long [19:27] bc: what you are working on these days ? [19:27] robinpahwa124: nothing too exciting [19:27] mzz: i can understand. just reading ur solution is makin me busy! haha [19:27] mzz: *solutions [19:28] diwas: trick is to use an irc client with decent hilighting and /lastlog, which I can use instead of my memory to keep track of parallel conversations [19:28]  yowshi: that will take me some time to search someone know where the kernel modules are? [19:28] mzz: great! do u believe today is my first day on IRC. :D [19:29] :o [19:29] diwas: this channel is a *lot* busier than most [19:29] _sigh... [19:29] bc: I am a pre final year student (15 more days then I will be a final year student :) ), I was wondering and searching for a nice project topic for my final year, I want to do something in networking, do you have any idea ? [19:29] mzz: after all its "the Ubuntu". [19:29] diwas: I have no idea how mzz works on 6 problems at the same time :D [19:29] bc: yea, exactly. this guy is a computer ;) [19:29] yowshi: cd /lib/modules/kernel_you_are_running [19:29] you can "social network" involving going to the pub, frequently [19:30] mzz: hey which OS is in ur head? :p [19:30] heh [19:30] mzz: epiphany shows the images perfectly. [19:30] robinpahwa124: I would suggesting finding something that really interests you. maybe something that would solve a problem for YOU (or a friend) as well? === christiekoehler| is now known as christiekoehler [19:30] bc, diwas: not sure what this'll make you think of me, but this is window #47 in irssi [19:30] robinpahwa124: s/suggesting/suggest/ [19:30] mzz: holy hell [19:30] mzz: hahaahhahahahahhahaha [19:30] felix_: ok, that's weird. Hit view -> zoom -> reset in firefox, just in case. [19:30] mzz: I have ONE window in irssi [19:31] mzz: err, two windows [19:31] bc, diwas: not all that active in most of them, but still :) [19:31] mzz: chatzilla here 1 window, i dont know wat i am doin though! [19:32] felix_: I really want this to be a proxy, not something in firefox itself. Got anything in there extensions-wise? [19:32] Hello, how can I trouble shoot a hard drive from the command line, when I sudo fdisk /dev/sde I get back, Unable to read /dev/sde [19:32] bc: I am thinking to work for a project which can be extended and could be made opensource afterwards [19:32] solexious|netbk: what does dmesg have to say about sde? [19:32] mzz, errg? [19:33] robinpahwa124: always a good choice :)) that's probably the quickest way to make it better. [19:33] solexious|netbk: if in doubt: "dmesg|pastebinit" [19:33] sacarlson: exactly how do i know which one i am running? i mean i can amke an educated guess it ixzs the highest numbered one but how do i know for sure? [19:33] mzz: i hate to ask, but wat abt my problem? [19:33] yowshi: uname -a [19:33] mzz: Well the zoom did it. I crawled my extension and found something that puts zoom to 130%. That'll do - it's always the user. Thanks a lot mate. [19:34] sacarlson: ok so i am running the one i figured i wass. now what [19:34] diwas: perhaps try strace-ing something other than deluge [19:35] mzz: and what do u suspect about VPN thing? [19:35] mzz, http://pastebin.com/m4163e722 [19:35] yowshi: find -name "your_driver*" [19:35] diwas: I wouldn't worry about that, it doesn't seem to be doing anything [19:35] quit: [19:35] solexious|netbk: that doesn't look very healthy [19:35] sacarlson: no output [19:35] robinpahwa124: if you aren't deeply in love with gnome, something like openbox might run very fast on your computer by the way [19:36] mzz: yes, but it has little "device not managed" error when i click on the network manager in the top panel :p [19:36] solexious|netbk: does that drive normally work ok? Have you doublechecked for obvious hardware problems (I've had mysterious problems go away simply by unplugging and replugging cables)? [19:36] yowshi: you sure you spelled your driver correct maybe don't put all the letters in search for part [19:36] mzz, Its a new drive, was making a mdadm array with it but it failed it, tried the old un and re plug :s [19:37] hi i mounted a smb share and cyrillic letters are showing up as ??? and i cant even enter the directory any ideas how to fix this? [19:37] hello [19:37] solexious|netbk: consider running smartctl -a on it [19:37] solexious|netbk: (from memory, haven't done this in a while) [19:37] sacarlson: yes i dont even get output for find -name snd [19:38] yowshi: find -name "snd*" === gary_ is now known as Guest44934 [19:38] mzz, What does that do? :) [19:38] solexious|netbk: ask the drive to report its own diagnostics [19:38] Does anyone know how to get rid of shadows on your icon descriptions in xfice? [19:38] Hey, I want to enable blurring for my Emerald decorated windows. I go into Emerald themer and select "titlebar only" from that thing, I set up the blur plugin, and... Nothing. My titlebar just goes non-transparent. [19:39] yowshi: is this it? ./ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/usb/snd-usb-audio.ko [19:39] sacarlson: that got me some output time to use a grep [19:39] hi. i'm running openwrt white russian on a linksys router. i can connect via my laptop to my public ip and port forwarding works fine, but when i use the public facing ip from the LAN itself it doesn't work. is this some sort of security measure stopping me doing this>? [19:40] sacarlson: ./kernel/sound/usb/snd-usb-audio.ko this nis it i think [19:40] mzz, Will do in a sec [19:40] malik_: are you still here?

[19:41] hi i mounted a smb share and cyrillic letters are showing up as ??? and i cant even enter the directory any ideas how to fix this? [19:41] Any fix for disabling ipv6? [19:41] robinpahwa124: yes, I used that for about 10 years [19:41] mzz: oh ok. does rtorrent support pausing and resuming torrent download? [19:41] .yowshi: well you could try blacklist again or just rename this to yourdriver.org [19:41] ktwo: are you sure you can't enter the directory? Are you doing this from the commandline? Try using "cd " and then hitting tab repeatedly to get the dirname completed [19:41] diwas: probably [19:41] robinpahwa124: blackbox before that, but they are essentially the same [19:41] sacarlson: whats the command for renaming? [19:41] diwas: the ui is weird but it's actually a fairly decent client [19:41] yowshi: mv [19:42] robinpahwa124: there is also fluxbox which is popular [19:42] yowshi: sudo mv [19:42] diwas: yes, ctrl-D pauses, ctrl-S starts [19:42] yeah well how should i enter :) cd ???? ????? XD [19:42] bc: are you sure '10 years' ? [19:42] robinpahwa124: blackbox/openbox, but I didn't use fluxbox [19:42] directories without cyrillic work fine [19:42] diwas: you'll probably want to configure a "session" directory, see its documentation. [19:43] ktwo: just "cd " and then hit tab repeatedly to cycle through dirs [19:43] ktwo: simply typing out the question marks won't necessarily work [19:43] sac thanks === omucuvaca is now known as sickcows === sickcows is now known as sickcows1 [19:43] hello everyone.

It's a multiuser system, so I can log in and do my own thing, but I can't intall programs with the package manager nad such [19:47] any clue why find . -iregex ".*\.(jpg|bmp)" isn't working?

I used something similar a long time ago with ppp [19:50] poningru: Can I compile it on a similar system and tell it to statically link everything, then copy it over?

[20:23] user__, I was thinking about p2p solution with no master server, ie. if A computer upgrades it check othem machines in the network for needed packages and the unavailable dowloads from the net [20:24] walrus_: for video [20:24] sebsebseb: mplayer is freezeing the whole thing when going fullscreen and i need to reboot :( [20:24] how can I write a fraction in OO like on paper?

(kicks self) [20:25] though whe n i unmute the analog mix i can hear myse;lf [20:25] Wiseguy, If you use a lot of math, LaTeX is much faster to write in [20:25] bc, it's the entire hdd. so SWAP and ext3 [20:26] Wiseguy, sorry I ment WistfulGeek [20:26] Hello there, I can connect to IRC (obviously) but suddenly can't access the web. Pings are not returned, addresses don't resolve. How can I fix it? [20:26] c0ntract0r: hmmm.. `apt-cache search emu10k` then google some of those packages and see if any may apply to your card (do you know what model sb card it is?) [20:26] jrib: because my X is completey screwed up to the point of locking the system and when i reboot it tries to start X so i want to change the default to runlevel 3 [20:27] perscitus: use -t ext3 with mount [20:27] blocky: runlevels 2-5 are identical. Use recovery mode from the grub menu [20:27] sebsebseb: banshee is same as vlc and dragon player , Xorg uses 100% CPU :( yes I did install the official catalyst drivers from ATI, I have a Radeon 4850 === Rabbitbu1ny is now known as Rabbitbunny [20:27] bc, from e2fsck - The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2filesystem. [20:27] blocky, you can do it in event.d [20:27] its in /etc/event.d [20:27] but keep in mind 2-5 are identical [20:27] walrus_: maybe your graphics card is failing or something === stealth__ is now known as Stealth1 [20:27] poningru: Any luck? [20:28] perscitus: im out of ideas on that one (i know nothing about dd rescue) :( [20:28] greets! i am new to linux.

[20:28] sebastien: i come from windows, and it's all good there =) I tink the problem is with Xorg [20:28] WistfulGeek, ok, it's worth the effort [20:28] ubuntu-es [20:28] bc:did you restore de mbr [20:28] blixt: I can't really see why a Linux newbie would even wnat to edit a config file under /etc [20:28] im tring to set up proftpd and when i run "sudo proftpd" i get fatal: Socket operation on non-socket [20:28] blocky: check for yourself.

[20:29] well what's the best way to prevent X from starting on boot with upstart then [20:29] bc:ok [20:29] sobczyk: maybe apt-p2p is something for you [20:29] sebsebseb: sorry.. used sebastien instead of your nick [20:29] looked it up.. configuring pulse for skype... do you have an answer [20:29] Barbarella, entire hdd [20:29] blocky: as I said, use recovery mode from the grub menu [20:29] i think this funky dev mounting scheme was concocted with the sole purpose of driving me insane...i'd like to comment that it's a splendid success. [20:29] perscitus:did you restore the mbr? [20:29] Barbarella, I dunno. [20:29] offipso, other than putting -static in your ld_flags no [20:29] hello everyone here [20:29] Barbarella, What does ddrescue do? [20:29] but that is not guarenteed to work [20:30] that's your problem [20:30] walrus_: yep probably an xorg and propritary dirver issue [20:30] Sp|kE, [20:30] blocky, yeah identical [20:30] Sp|kE, thanks dude it worked for me [20:30] since we dont technically use runlevels anymore [20:30] sebsebseb: is there a way to rebuild Xorg or something? [20:30] Anyone: Is it normal for Kubuntu to run slower than Ubuntu? [20:30] its all upstart [20:30] perscitus:you have to make a backup of the mbr aswell [20:30] perscitus: check last post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=887609 [20:30] Barbarella, i just did ddrescue /dev/sdb recover.img [20:30] walrus_: did your computer ever run Ubuntu 8.04? I am just thinking maybe things would work better with the older xorg that one has [20:30] Sp|kE, are you there? [20:30] walmis, just use dpkg-reconfigure -plow xorg [20:30] Can anyone hear me? I'm having network troubles. I can see the messages coming through, can you see mine? [20:30] malik_: are you back? [20:31] ryanprior, no [20:31] yup [20:31] ryanprior: yes [20:31] walrus_: yeah of course [20:31] we cant see your messages [20:31] ryanprior, yes [20:31] SpaceCow56: no [20:31] ;) [20:31] walrus_: you can get back to how things were before you installed a driver [20:31] Okay, does anyone know what might cause IRC traffic to work but not web traffic? [20:31] Ljorring: whats the status? [20:31] vix1: I get a noticeable lag in KDE environment than the GNOME [20:31] sebsebseb: I didn"t try ubuntu 8.04 no... maybe I should try removing the ati catalyst then? [20:31] ryanprior: the proxy? [20:32] walrus_: yep and when you reconfigure xorg it will get rid of that driver [20:32] kfet: I'm not using a proxy for either. [20:32] perscitus:boot from a cd in rescue mode, and go for the option to restore the boot thingy [20:32] hey, all. saw somewhere that softraid is now "out of the box" in 9.04. does this apply to nvidia's RAID controller? dmraid is borked in the new kernel, wondering if there's an alternate solution [20:32] ryanprior: telnet google.com 80 [20:32] !xorg | walrus_ [20:32] walrus_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

I am new to linux, so it's very hard for me to diagnose [20:32] gnea, are you here [20:32] for commands u have sudo but when i want to edit something under etc how do i do to be able ta save my edits? [20:32] Barbarella, Do you even know what im doing? [20:33] ryanprior: ru using a proxy ? [20:33] walrus_: there is some other way, but you can boot into recovery mode from the boot loader, and reconfigure xorg in there [20:33] dove si parla it io non sono riuscito a trovarlo [20:33] vix1: I am not using a proxy. telet hangs on "Connecting to google.com" [20:33] blixt, sudo gedit /etc/filename [20:33] malik_: im installing a player and getting an mp3 for testing. please advice me if you have some suggestions [20:33] ryanprior: dhcp ?

[20:33] Ljorring: i too have come across such posts, but they date back to 2007 so i think .. it should have been solved by now [20:33] Barbarella, not booting [20:33] ryanprior: fireall ? [20:33] how do i make it start from start up? [20:33] firewall [20:33] blink, gedit is a texteditor, you can use others to [20:33] *too [20:33] vix1: Generic Ubuntu kernel firewall. [20:33] sebsebseb: I remmeber doing the reconfigure thing, but it only asks a fex things about keyboard and such if i remmeber well, nothing about video drivers [20:33] Barbarella, trying to mount an image created by ddrescue === Davidf88 is now known as Davidf88_AFK [20:34] turn it off and try [20:34] walrus_: if you do it from recovery mode, it will uninstall your graphics card driver as well [20:34] Question: when I did a clean install of 9.04, it panicked even during failsafe boot. Would upgrading in 8.10 using the update tool be a better idea, or is it likely to keep crashing? [20:34] malik_: yes, it sounds strange.. and what's more strange, is that I think I heard a constant beep-tone in the preferences-->sound testing 20 mins ago.. but I can't get it back again - so now I'm back to basics again [20:34] sebsebseb: oh ok I see, thanks I will try that [20:34] vix1: I don't think you can turn off the kernel firewall. I could flush the rules but I've never changed them, so I I don't know why I should now. [20:34] Because I think it wasn't handling my PCMCIA card properly (said something about a PC card during bootup) [20:34] ok, that's freaking funny. the old mdadm file is invalid. whodathunkit. [20:34] perscitus:oeps my fault, which fs type [20:34] malik_: I installed XMMS2 btw.

[20:35] ryanprior, have you tried other browsers? [20:35] i m not sure whats wrong with xmms. try starting the application from konsole and you will see the debug messages for that [20:35] come si fa x cercare la chat it [20:35] How can I find out driver of my Cd-rom?

[20:36] bc, tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [20:36] nessuno mi da il link x parlare it [20:36] is mounting dvds and cds to ~/.gvfs just the way it is in 9.04? === adam is now known as Guest93968 [20:37] poningru: Would that just be "telnet localhost 25"?

[20:42] is there an easy way (or at least well documented way) to switch from dmraid to mdadm? [20:42] tuxkeren: you can set preferences, or autodetect [20:42] do you see any http or www on the foriegn connections column? [20:42] All I set to auto detect [20:42] Gnea, dvds,cds, mp3 players, etc mounting to .gvfs instead of /media [20:42] kfet: Why would admins be filtering the traffic to, say, Google?

[21:01] why cant any1 answer me? [21:01] Agion: there are 2 ways you can accomplish this: a) use the Gnome GUI to drag 'n drop files to where you want them. b) write a shell script to do what you want. it will not be a simple shell script. [21:02] naagayaa, i don't know about anybody else, but i can't answer you because (a) don't know what you asked and (b) probably don't know the answer anyway, sorry [21:02] xoing how do i fix my xserver?

[21:09] rohtie: new ones, yes. BSD [21:09] new apple products don't run mac os; mac os dev stopped with os 9; the new 'mac os x' is not mac at all, imo; it's BSD with a fake mac GUI [21:10] lol [21:10] trying to do the second recommended edit... [21:10] rohtie: asthetically, quite close to say gnome/compiz [21:10] yoyoned, dr willis, isn't there another way?

[21:16] but is this 9.04 or 8.10 or other? [21:16] so editing .asoundrc in ~ would assume there is an app called asoundrc...

[21:18] ubuntistas, because they are not installed pacakges just residual elements left on the system [21:18] Ok [21:18] but for my surprise jaunty doesn't have any xen enabled kernel either [21:18] leOn: same scenario here. moved to ubuntu from debian a week or so ago [21:18] kipas_angin: i have been there and used this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:18] ya exactly, except this time i have to delete them >_< [21:18] and yes i know gksu is the same thing [21:18] ubuntistas, just be sure you are under "Status" and Residual config list [21:18] anonusing: use the editor the delete the lines then? what is the problem you are having? [21:18] rohtie: you should try it and report back with any possible error messages - when it boots up, ESC to get into the grub menu, 'e'dit the first entry, edit the 'kernel' line, and remove 'splash quiet' from the end of that line [21:18] leOn: Xen is dead in favor of KVM.

[21:19] chris062689: Hi [21:19] gnea: I'll come back soon to report [21:19] so ALSA would be the app? [21:19] anonusing: so you did the guide and it dident work? and are tyring to undo it? [21:19] !alsa [21:19] 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 [21:19] chris062689: If the screen is minimized it will.... [21:19] blixt: yep. ALSA is your sound system ;-) [21:20] ok and is that interfering with boxee coz_? [21:20] chris062689: what client are you using? [21:20] Pidgin [21:20] dr_willis, i did the guide, and it worked kind of. the graphics worked a lot better but, only for ten minutes at a time. really strange [21:20] It's a plugin in XChat that should popup a notification, but I doubt it's fixed for Ubuntu 9.04 [21:20] Afternoon all [21:20] haha.. told you. me newbie... thnx! [21:20] like every ten minutes i would use it, the computer would freeze [21:20] co ai o ha noi khong [21:20] ? [21:20] anonusing: bummer. Glad my Netbook dont have the issue. === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [21:20] chris062689: ah, i don't use xchat... tried #xchat? [21:20] ya good for u [21:20] blixt, .asoundrc configures for the user /etc/asound.conf is sysytem wide [21:21] ok and is that interfering with boxee coz_? [21:21] thanks anywys :) [21:21] ubuntistas, well is that app listed there? [21:21] irc ubuntu dong ghe [21:21] yes, i have boxee issues [21:21] I decided to do a fresh install of 9.04 over an existing install of Ubuntu. But, after I select my keyboard type, it just keeps scanning all my drives (internal and external) over and over [21:21] It never gets anywhere [21:21] no coz_ [21:21] ubuntistas, oh ok then no it is not interfereing with that [21:21] aha! maybe i should just create the usr config file and add the suggested lines? [21:21] i deleted them all coz_ now? [21:21] boxee won't load up [21:21] touchpad suddenly stopped in jaunty?? [21:22] starts but nothing happens [21:22] ubuntistas, did you unstall that boxee app? [21:22] yes coz_ it doesn't launch anymore [21:22] Is there any way I can install KDE without kubuntu-desktop? [21:22] Dr_Willis, sorry for repeating what you say you type faster than me [21:22] have you arrived from viet nam ? [21:22] i should uninstall? [21:22] ubuntistas, ok [21:22] Any suggestions? [21:22] chuck_: :) thats ok.. i have a hard time rembering what i even say 4 min ago... [21:22] Conic: sure. just install the packages you like. [21:22] chuck_: i dont even have a /etc/asound.conf :) [21:22] I have ti try: sudo modprobe -r psmouse [21:22] sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps [21:23] mmm [21:23] hey :) this is an odd thing to ask, but --> installed linux via live disc onto a hard drive, and, i put it into a rebuilt computer, it tries booting from CD then from floppy, then goes to boot from the hard drive, but it wont go, so what should i do? [21:23] so coz_? [21:23] Hi does anybody know a tool to find out what processes are causing diskIO. Even when I have almst nothing open I hear my disks writing a couple of times per second I wnt to know what is doing this [21:24] so looks like i'll be rolling back to debian and wait for a 2.6.29 xen kernel ... [21:24] sudo modprobe -r psmouse [21:24] ubuntistas, well I am confused you say you uninstalled boxee but want to delete the remainaing files from it? [21:24] I mean, whenever I install kubuntu-desktop, or whatever it was, it breaks sound. And I have to reinstall. [21:24] sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps [21:24] dream: how do you know, "it doesn't go"? i.e. error messages, or the like? [21:24] Dr_Willis, its not realy needed unless you have some weird setup or ALSA is not playing nice [21:24] hippohenk: htop/top might work [21:24] hippohenk: iotop [21:24] Muelli: it says "fails to boot, insert a boto disc" [21:24] is ubuntu going to drop xen, like redhat did? [21:24] sudo modprobe -r psmouse [21:24] install sound for ubuntu ,how? [21:24] sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps [21:24] Muelli: well, cmos says it, not ubuntu [21:24] chuck_: yea. id like to figure out a way to just clone the front speakers to the rear, i just reaized my mp3 player is just playing front only on this box. [21:24] dream: hm. sound like GRUB didn't install properly :( [21:24] yeah coz_ i did a purge remove command i reinstalled it but nothing [21:25] ubuntistas, ok first not purge rath sudo apt-get autoremove boxee [21:25] touchpad suddenly stopped in jaunty?? [21:25] sudo modprobe -r psmouse [21:25] touchpad suddenly stopped in jaunty?? [21:25] sudo modprobe -r psmouse [21:25] P^D: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:25] dream: boot off the CD and recover GRUB. grub-install /dev/sda1 or whatever your device is you want to boot from [21:25] sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps [21:25] ubuntistas, that will remove all of the unused dependecies as well [21:25] hey I am getting 404 errors when trying to apt-get update, but i have tested my network connection and it works correctly [21:25] w3wsrmn: thank you that is the tool i was looking for [21:25] anyone have ideas [21:25] ? [21:25] dream: What live disk are you using [21:25] ubuntistas, then sudo apt-get instal boxee [21:25] bc: this is like a circus in here [21:25] =P [21:25] thanks y [21:25] sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps [21:26] leOn: and its a circus of 100% Clowns? :P [21:26] notdarkyet: seems like you're using an (outdated?) mirror. you might want to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include working repositories. [21:26] So, I have a problem. Whenever I install Kubuntu, on top of a working Ubuntu installation, it breaks sound. [21:26] Sound DOES NOT WORK, at all, and I have to reinstall. [21:26] I rhymed, too [21:27] Heh === [domon]_ is now known as [domon] [21:27] i did that in the previous version of ubuntu coz_ but nothing and it's continuing to be a problem and in jaunty unfortunately [21:27] Muelli: where is a good location for one? [21:27] Is there any reason for that? [21:27] Any suggestion as to why the install is scanning my drives for 20 minutes? [21:27] ubuntistas, ok is boxee installed right now? [21:27] I had an old install cd and upgraded to dapper and now trying edgy [21:27] notdarkyet: yeah, good question. You can ask anyone in here but me for an up-to-date /etc/apt/sources.list ;-) [21:27] Conic: none that i can think of.. you culd try to clarify whats breaking in the sounnd. Ive used Kubuntu+ubuntu befor and no issues. [21:27] Dr_Willis: of course not .. there are other performs too [21:27] !edgy [21:27] ;) [21:27] Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 25th, 2008. See !eol for more details. [21:27] iam installing it now coz_ [21:28] s/performs/performers/ [21:28] notdarkyet: Dr_Willis is smart. He can provide you a /etc/apt/sources.list :) [21:28] leOn: yes, notice floodbot goes balls out every so often. [21:28] notdarkyet: edgy support ended a year ago.. go with something more modern [21:28] hey guys, i just finsihed an install and download of warcraft to my pc and now im trying to start it up but my graphics are all shredded and torn [21:28] It doesn't come out my speakers. It says it's working fine, and it even says sound is coming out. [21:28] ubuntistas, open a terminal and type boxee [21:28] But no sound comes out. [21:28] well you cannot jump upgrades [21:28] ubuntistas, that should read out any errors but if there are do not paste them here go to pastebin [21:28] i think, don't you have to go in order? [21:28] anyone know any graphical fixes with wine and warcraft [21:28] !pastebin | ubuntistas [21:28] 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) [21:28] Oh well, I guess I'll try to install it again, see what happens [21:28] Muelli: $ pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list [21:28] http://pastebin.com/f2459e3af [21:28] notdarkyet: then I would seriously consider a full reinstall [21:28] I can always reinstall ALSA, can't I? [21:28] How do I enable compiz to in-/decreate opacity of a window using ALT+WHEELUP/WHEELDOWN? I can't find CompizConfigManger -> Gerneral -> *Opacity settings*, the last point isn't there, just 3 others. [21:28] notdarkyet: http://pastebin.com/f2459e3af [21:28] does anyone know of an easy utility for managing DNS entries ? [21:29] Dr_Willis: thx [21:29] oh jeez +_=' WHY cant it be simple "the jumper on the back of the hard drive, is it set to master or slave, it doesnt matter what you do if its not set as master it wont make a difference" :/ um how am i supposed to know thaT?! [21:29] Conic: i doubt if its breaking alsa.. it may be some setting thats not set right.. but i doubt if its alsa breaking [21:29] ok coz_ [21:29] Hydrant: nano, vi or emacs *SCNR* [21:29] thanks [21:29] The thing is, it doesn't happen right away [21:29] Conic: what you decribe sounds like the mixer just being muted. [21:29] I was kinda hoping for a simple webapp :-) [21:29] It might be on the first reboot, not sure [21:29] But how do I unmute the mixer? [21:29] Hydrant: check powerdns. but tinydns is *really* simple [21:29] Hydrant: for which dns server? [21:30] coz_ it's saying me coomand not found [21:30] Conic: use "alsamixer" [21:30] anyone know any graphical fixes with wine and warcraft [21:30] just for a dns server on ubuntu server, no particular dns server in mind [21:30] Conic: could be some bug with yoru specific sound card/driver. hard to tell. try the various sound mixer apps. the kde/gnome one may be confused. theres others in the repos you can install [21:30] mrubcich: check the wine app database. [21:30] I'm not a bind guru, just want something easy [21:30] ubuntistas, ok is it showing up in any of your menus? [21:30] hrm [21:30] mrubcich: you might want to ask that question in #winehq [21:30] Oh cool [21:30] I'm back [21:30] yes coz_ [21:30] Thanks, installing Kubuntu. We'll see what happens. [21:30] Hydrant: don't use bind. Use something sane. Like djbdns. It has a really simple configfile format [21:30] dr_willis: yeah i have been it apparently works fine but not for me [21:31] Hydrant: you need a tool for managing a dns server, but you don't specify which .. that's kind of hard to answer [21:31] ubuntistas, ok open system/prefernces/main menu [21:31] gnea: It didn't show any errors [21:31] Dr_Willis, when you run speaker-test -c4 do you get sound out of all speakers [21:31] thanks slart i totally didnt change channels did it [21:31] ok done coz_ [21:31] ubuntistas, look under the same menu listing for that application highlight that application and clic properties to see what command is used to open it === [DaRK-SkG] is now known as [SkG] [21:32] i want to install the following package: http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/awesome from the debian testing repos, how do i do that> [21:32] ?

[21:33] Muelli: do you advise any nice gui app for kvm ? [21:33] linduxed: if you want to install *that* special package, download the deb file and install it with dpkg -i [21:33] does anyone know how to use easybcd? [21:33] Muelli: that results in an obsolete version, ubuntu is totally late an the awesome-department [21:33] leOn: ubuntu has it's own virt-manager. dunno how xcactly its called, but the official docs mention it [21:33] linduxed, Debian pakages do not work in ubuntu [21:33] Muelli: i was most concerned of the dependencies [21:33] leOn: but there are several. kqemu for instance.

[23:24] could someone tell me where to find the sys python module is located? [23:24] Note that these drivers are INCOMPLETE, and are only really useful for testing at this point [23:24] maybe because i did it in vmware [23:24] glicks, that will write zeros to all the spaces that don't don't have files anymore. [23:25] deek_: so this is a mac? right? [23:25] no [23:25] its an AMD box [23:25] i'm using the voodoo kernel for osx [23:25] Does anyone have a handle on the nVidia 180 driver issue w/ the 8800 series nVidia card? [23:25] vix1: that's the one. it's supposed to actually be better than the native xorg nv drivers, because it does some 3d, but last i used it the 3d support was a bit subpar [23:25] i'm user retail os x in my pc [23:25] its a GUID partition table...

Is there something else I have to do? Thanks [23:26] the shell files which program usually run ? === aspidites is now known as aspidites[afk] [23:26] LadyNikon, any idea how to get i386 .deb file to run on ubuntu 64 [23:27] and how do i customize the boot menu?

I never worked on it. [23:27] leOn: if i use the defaults option should that do it? or should i be using a different flag?

[23:28] saschul: another approach is to call the script in /etc/rc.local [23:28] deek_: this is for archlinux, but most of the info should still be applicable. just replace anything mentioning an arch package to it's ubuntu equivalent.... [23:28] Jezz: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:28] aspidites[afk]: he's gone [23:28] what this mean ? kad is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

[23:30] Yes of course [23:30] jrib, donna know :P when i change the chmod it give me like that [23:30] Yes of course I tried numlock key [23:30] aspidites[afk]: he should of installed the 2 OS's first and then ubuntu [23:30] saschul: did it say it was setting up the runlevel links? [23:31] helper: paste the output of the command « groups » [23:31] well.. when I take the keyboard out of USB, and plug it back in that "mouse device" consisting of num pad, now acts normal [23:31] but how do I stop X server from detecting mouse in my keyboard [23:31] without manual unplug [23:32] I just have a cheap microsoft "comfort curve" keyboard. it shouldn't be detecting mouse in my keyboard [23:32] leOn: it said "adding system startup for /etc/init.d/memcached..." [23:32] oh wello [23:32] thickinit: you can blacklist the device [23:32] leOn: it's not a module [23:32] leOn: it's X server detecting it === [DaRK-SkG] is now known as [SkG] [23:32] leOn: and then cycled through a few different lines - rc0.d, rc1.d, rc6.d, etc... That make sense? Clearly I'm a noob [23:33] saschul: find /etc/rc?.* -name memcached [23:33] jrib, nothing when i open on user kad i do sudo chmod u+x moe give me this error y ? [23:33] helper: paste the output of the command « groups » [23:33] One of the two drives in my RAID-0 array failed. I have a backup of that particular disk but not the whole array. Can I just clone the image to a good drive of same size and pair it up with working one? Will RAID chipset give me trouble because the drive is not same (but contents are)? [23:33] saschul: if it gives you a list of symbolic links, it's set [23:33] jrib, didn't got u [23:33] leOn: nothing comes up when I run it [23:33] helper: type « groups » in your terminal and tell me the output [23:33] Hello, I have problem with aMSN. Sometimes when I switch back to a window (alt-tab), I try to write a message, but the input field is like disabled. That problem is solved by switching back and forth a few times. Any idea? [23:33] then run the update-rc.d command with the -f switch [23:34] jrib, root sambashare [23:34] leOn: ok... i'll try that [23:34] helper: umm, what does « whoami » return? [23:34] I'm getting: grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory anyone ever see this? [23:34] hmmm.. actually the -f is for removal [23:34] Hydrant: yeah, that happens when a file doesn't exist... [23:34] ... when running installs I should say [23:34] heh [23:34] !upstart | Hydrant [23:34] Hydrant: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [23:34] jrib, sorry when i return to user kad , groups kad ,and whoami " kad" [23:35] Hydrant: ubuntu uses upstart and no sysV type of init [23:35] helper: your user must be in the "admin" group to sudo [23:35] jrib, should i usermod -G root kad ? [23:35] leOn: btw - when I run update-rc.d again, I get the message, "System startup links for /etc/init.d/memcached already exist." [23:35] saschul: tell me something .. that startup script, does it accept start and stop as command line parameters? [23:36] helper: nope. You should add kad to the "admin" group [23:36] jrib, who i do it what is the cmd ? [23:36] ah [23:36] group name admin ? [23:36] helper: sudo adduser kad admin would be one way [23:36] helper: yes [23:36] saschul: i'm sorry [23:36] saschul: find /etc/rc?.* -name "*memcached*" [23:37] makes sense it wasn't returning anything [23:37] Anyone have any experience with such scenarios? [23:37] leOn: got a bunch of results that time! [23:37] leOn: btw - this is my script - http://drupalbin.com/9258 [23:37] saschul: try /etc/init.d/memcached start [23:37] SoylentYellow: just repeat your question. Assume the channel has a 0-line memory unless you are addressing someone specifically [23:37] jrib, its few lines up. [23:37] saschul: that won't work [23:38] SoylentYellow: I know [23:38] I'll let ubottu explain... [23:38] !helpme | SoylentYellow [23:38] SoylentYellow: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [23:38] you're better of putting a call to the script in /etc/rc.local [23:38] jrib, ok one more question the previous error was saying This incident will be reported.? where the report log would i find it ? [23:38] saschul: your script is missing the start and stop functions [23:38] helper: not sure, check /var/log/auth.log ? [23:39] saschul: take a peep at the rest of the scripts in /etc/init.d to get an idea [23:39] leOn: oh... when i just run it by typing /etc/init.d/memcached it works - but does it require a "start" and "stop" paremeter to be able ot automatically start? [23:39] saschul: if it's to be used by the runlevels startup yes [23:40] helper: just face it .. you've been busted [23:40] =P [23:40] ahhahahah LOOL [23:41] it work :P [23:41] not in that fast:P [23:42] helper: i'm pretty sure they're using the remote logging facility [23:42] :P [23:42] by now your attempt to break in has already been logged in a remote server and sent by mail to the admins [23:43] what's the difference between a regular group and a system group? [23:43] cellofellow: none, except system groups usually have lower group ids [23:44] leOn➜ how low? [23:44] not sure on ubuntu, but lower than 500 or 1000 [23:44] usually that [23:45] The numeric identifiers of new system groups are choosen in the SYS_GID_MIN-SYS_GID_MAX range, defined in login.defs, instead of GID_MIN-GID_MAX. [23:45] so go see in login.defs [23:45] why would my speaker volume be different in ubuntu and vista? [23:45] When I launch a virtual machine using KVM, how do I specify a screen size? The default 800x600 sucks. [23:46] how can i make a private keyfile for my system? i tried ~/.ssh && ssh keygen -t dsa && ssh keygen -t rsa && cat id_dsa_pub id_rsa_pub > authorized_keys and it says ssh: connect to host keygen port 22: No route to host [23:46] kesiode: because it's not an analog device and it's state is kept by the OS [23:46] Does wvdial come with ubuntu 9.04?
