[00:00] zanberdo, right, so touch "$foo" or touch "${foo}baz" [00:00] unop, and I should lean to just shut my pie hole otherwise... [00:00] Mirux: You need samba to be continously mounted to your Windows disk [00:00] broken - yw ;) [00:00] filthpig, I know mate, I would just jack in windows right now, but I'm not brave enough xD [00:00] ok i need help i installed the supybot and now i cant find it can someone help [00:00] Linux-User: not sure. Blacklisting that module (assuming you don't use it) might help. There's a file under /etc/ for that. [00:00] zanberdo: the advanced-bash-scripting guide - is worth reading a few dozen times. :) [00:00] younder, can't i do this over lan? [00:00] Besides, I'm sticking around here until all my files have been replicated [00:00] Dr_Willis, the ABS is quite flawed .. to be honest. [00:00] Dr_Willis, amen brother [00:01] * molinero Ubuntu lives! [00:01] does anyone have a copy of bxmenu.bx they can send me? [00:01] younder, I have internet on win xp virtualized, so do I have network. [00:01] mzz thx, where exactly i've to search for? [00:01] funkyHat, messing with initramfs ... is doing so well documented? i'm using a stock 9.02 kernel. the last thing i need is to spend three hours jacking with a system that won't boot. [00:01] Mirux: Sure But you need WINS [00:01] I trust I can get a swift kicking in #bash were I to suggest I knew a fraction of what they seem to know... heh [00:01] since upgrade to 9.04 my emacs fg and bg colors are back to the defaults.. Does anyone know how to change it? I think it used my theme by default before nad I'm not sure why it isn't now. [00:01] younder, what do you mean? I don't get it, sorry. [00:02] Linux-User: probably /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf but check [00:02] Mirux: Which meansthe product package Samba [00:02] Mirux: sudo apt-et intsall samba [00:02] apt-get [00:02] younder, I do have samba installed on my ubuntu system [00:02] someone say norris g [00:02] younder, configured as well. [00:02] afk - (unless higlighted ) - brb - ; [00:03] amanda-b: it's quite easy, but I can't talk you through it as I'm chatting on my phone. googling ubuntu initramfs modules will probably help :) [00:03] ok i need help i installed the supybot and now i cant find it can someone help [00:03] unop: write your own then. :) [00:03] I'm such a bad open-source user. I'm even using mIRC on the #ubuntu channel =[ [00:03] Mirux: Then you have to SHARE your dis. [00:03] If you run windows xp in virtual box in ubuntu ,do you need to run antivirus on the virtual windows/? [00:03] disk [00:04] unop: i just rember examples from it.. and go backto 'borrow' the code [00:04] amanda-b: if you get stuck ask anyway, I may still be able to help [00:04] Dr_Willis, i contribute to http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide [00:04] younder, then I do not need to use svn? [00:04] Can someone help me i cannot write in my ntfs external drive [00:04] unop: you are the Bash-master! :) [00:04] younder, I thought svn would be a better way to keep track of my versions, and at the same time, backing up changes and stuff. [00:04] mzz ok thx now i'll check. thx very much for your help. [00:04] Dr_Willis, i wouldn't say that - i just like it :) [00:04] younder, I can do that like... share a folder and copy the whole project folder from win xp to ubuntu but.. [00:05] Mirux: Just share the directory with the svn source [00:05] younder, i thought having a svn server on my ubuntu and comitting the changes via lan would be better. [00:05] mm [00:05] rob0917: my solution is to make a snapshot and boot from that every time, but if you need to update it I would install anti-virus yeah [00:05] And then? [00:05] if I have a RAID 1 (fake raid) array set up with XP installed on it, is it possible to just disconnect one of the HDs and still have my same XP on a single hard drive? [00:05] Cakk, what're you trying to do? [00:05] thank you [00:06] Mirux: Set up the firewall so it is not accessible from the internet though [00:06] write files to my external hard drive [00:06] anyone else having an ATI radeon graphics card on dell studio have trouble with maximizing/minimizing windows when they ugraded ubuntu to 9.04? [00:06] it keeps saying read only [00:06] "fake raid" ? [00:06] could someone help me with a simple question? [00:06] funkyHat, aye, docs are sufficient usually :-) [00:06] 8( [00:06] How can I view php files in firefox?

[00:09] Cakk, uuhh, should just be right click > unmount [00:09] b/c its not software raid [00:09] its like a mix of both [00:09] linxeh, not really the same thing [00:09] i need to hide everything around the window [00:09] LIKE conky [00:09] mm [00:09] I NEED SOFTWARES [00:09] ho bisogno di aiuto [00:09] good night, I have a notebook with ATI Xpress 200 someone has a solution to ubuntu ati drivers and 9:04?

Anyone have a link i can use perhaps for having windows installed on sda and ubuntu on sdb, with grub on sdb? it is completely overlooked by windows bootloader, i need it to see KDE on sdb, thanks! [00:20] it will now [00:20] Intelli, it configured, but wouldn't make? [00:20] RHorse: I have done that ... and of course it tells me all about the application .... but I don't know why all the components are not installed.

[00:21] funkyHat: no I have not seen that [00:21] funkyHat: can i reinstall kde and just make like a 10gb partition on sda and put grub on that? [00:21] omnydevi: it's fine installing it on sda even though windows is on there [00:22] funkyHat: I think my major concern is the notifications [00:22] funkyHat: what i was looking for mate, thank you! === biopotz is now known as Biopotz [00:22] omnydevi: grub, that is, no need to move ubuntu [00:22] funkyHat: hrm, there is just a grub installer? [00:23] !grub | omnydevi [00:23] omnydevi: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[00:25] reya276: which notifications in particular? the new fancy black ones? [00:25] Intelli: theres some command to auto install all the source-dev depends for a program.. but i forget the command.

[00:25] Hello everyone, I was wondering how I could get Ubuntu to read my S-Video output on my laptop? [00:25] Intelli: like usser said. :) that should get ALL teh needed -dev packages for it.. it makes it easier to recompile since the thing is in the repos in the first place [00:26] Intelli: looks like the gtk usage there is gtk 1, which may not be desirable [00:26] okay, I am seriously frustrated. First I installed 9.04 64 bit (with separate home folder on its own partition)....random freezing and a certain app I need for work would not work. Then I reinstalled 32 bit 9.04....app now worked...but random freezing continued. Also, sound was really weird....if you turn down the volume slider on panel, it actually turns down the front mic slider on volume and in alsamixer. Then I went back to 8.

[01:26] brand0con i second rsync [01:26] chown: cannot access `./.gvfs': Permission denied [01:26] metal, cd ~/ && find . -iname ".gvfs" -prune -o -exec sudo chown -R robert.robert {} \; === meth0d is now known as r3c0n [01:27] will ubuntu do anything to sdb if I don't mount it? [01:27] brand0con: rsync is good, i use it as well, but if you are looking for a gui you can try this http://lifehacker.com/software/featured-linux-download/timevault-time-machine-for-linux-275399.php [01:27] unop: err, that recurses twice :P [01:27] thanks ill go read some man pages [01:27] chaorain, not really [01:27] unop: I think you want to drop the -R on that chown [01:27] lolololo who has 60g of ram to spare? [01:27] mzz, errm, yep, good catch [01:27] koshari: i'm not transferring on 60G file, total transfer is 60G, the files are smaller [01:27] zaccour: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04#Dell_OS_Factory_Recovery_8.04.1_DVD_ISO [01:28] chaorain generally no, yu could still delete the partition if you wanted to however [01:28] unop, not really? I think Ubuntu is toying with XP and breaking it. would not mounting sdb prvet this? [01:28] wasutton3: thanks. I didn't really care for the backintime gui all that much but I'll give time machine a whirl I suppose [01:28] * ienorand drat-- [01:28] lolololo i doubt a ramdic will mke it any faster then [01:28] err..guptach, i have a blank file. is it normal? [01:28] metal, cd ~/ && find . -iname "*gvfs" -prune -o ! -user "$USER" -exec sudo chown robert.robert {} \; [01:28] chaorain: err, why do you think ubuntu has anything to do with them? It will read those partitions but it won't write to them (iirc it won't even mount them by default) [01:28] lolololo likely slower as you will need to move it twice [01:29] brand0con: good luck, but good to see you are backing up [01:29] Hey, everyone. I was hoping to get help with my ALPS Touchpad. Right now, it's disabled, but I want to enable it and so far, nothing has worked. [01:29] unop: your last command never went through yet [01:29] thanks, mzz, unop, koshari [01:29] metal, ok, let it finish if its still running and you should be set [01:29] koshari: i was thinking maybe it will, i mean: rsync must create every file it transfers in the destination dir, even if the file exists, and then rename it. Maybe if the file creation and writing is done on a ramdisk it will be faster...(just wondering tho) [01:30] if i remove the power to one of the HDs in a fake raid 1 array can I boot the computer using a single HD without losing the data === hughhalf__ is now known as hughhalf [01:30] lolololo it doesnt have to create files that exist, run it with --progress and you will see what happens === guptach|ee is now known as guptacha|afk [01:31] lolololo the real value with rsync is when you do repetitive backups and can use switches that only update new timestamped files ect, [01:32] Is there a way to compare (quickly) the contents of two directories. i.e. find all differences? [01:32] diff it ;-) [01:32] koshari: but if i'm mirroring two computers, it will have to create files that exist, that is in case they are modified at the source [01:32] Does jaunty not switch system settings to use the msttcorefonts the way older distros did when you install it? [01:32] <[[thufir]]> I'm on ubuntu 8.10 I used to have svn, but now cannot seem to install from apt-get : http://pastebin.com/m631e8da8 [01:33] rsync it :-) [01:33] it will have to transfer the new version of the file (i'm using --whole-file, and i need to use that) and then overwrite the existing one [01:33] lolololo if your looking at mirroring 2 computors partimage may be a better tool [01:34] <[[thufir]]> bigjay: rsync? was that for me?

[02:17] Canaen: I think you can mkfs.ext4 through the cli on there, or use the alternate cd and it does have the option [02:17] mrwes: I can format a partition or the entire drive (which is my goal), but I can't seem to select ext4 anywhere [02:18] you can create the vmx file you need from easevmx.com [02:18] ray66 : so in synaptic you see it as installed but you can not use it is that situation correct [02:18] stupendoussteve: what is mkfs? what is the alternate cd? [02:18] hey, this pigin thing is not that bad, MUCH better than that mibbit! [02:18] Canaen: In fact I would suggest the alternate cd, as doing ti manually is liable to leave broken fstab and such [02:18] *easyvmx.com [02:18] <^joules^> Canean: i think it's automatic i don't remember setting it for my install [02:18] mkfs make filesystem [02:18] vertix1: xchat is even better for itc [02:18] *irc [02:18] Canaen: mkfs is a command to make a filesystem, the alternate cd is the text mode installation (it still installs the graphical system though) [02:19] ext4 alot faster than ext3? [02:19] zvacet...Synaptic shows it to be installed in both the status report of all and installed but java will not verify and firefox tell me I need to download jre [02:19] It performs better [02:19] yes [02:19] temp [02:19] stupendoussteve: so the only difference in using the alternate cd is that it is a text-based cd, and I can select ext4? [02:19] Canaen, http://www.dougjaworski.com/blog/how-to-install-ubuntu-904-juanty-with-the-ext4-filesystem/ [02:19] hm okey [02:19] but not faster than ext2 [02:19] lstarnes, i know. I used to use xchat all the time when i was more on linux box, but lately i had to do a lot of development work on windows, even though i could do it on linux, but linux ide suck real bad compared to VS [02:19] Canaen: Yes. It also has some other "advanced" options available [02:19] mrwes: thank you [02:19] stupendoussteve: thanks [02:20] Canaen, yo uhave to use the manual partition [02:20] In my VirtualHost:80 whcich i want to redirect to my VirtualHost:443, what exactly should my ServerName be? [02:20] is it stable ? gonna build a new fileserver soon, should i go with ext4 or stick with ext3? [02:20] oluu: It is stable but still evolving, you could say [02:20] There aren't a ton of tools for it [02:21] Can someone please help me with my non-working touchpad? [02:21] does anyone know how to make a Kodak EasyShare C813 work with Ubuntu? [02:21] <^joules^> ndiswrapper? anyone? i've been at it for hours and no luck [02:21] how can I remove a program installed in wine? I've tried the normal things like using thw wine uninstaller but the programs remain there...:(..can somone help me? [02:21] looks like i'll be wasting yet another night [02:21] unkuiri: theres some directoryin the users home that has .desktop entries for them.. or use the menu editor (i think) [02:22] if i can't figure this out soon, i'll just tell my mom she can get XP because obviously none of her stuff is working [02:22] ray66 : i will try to find something if I can just a min [02:22] All progams installed in wine go to .wine/drive_c [02:22] nor anyone else who i convert to ubuntu [02:22] unkuiri: .config/menus/applications-merged [02:22] hah u tried to convert your mom to linux, that's classic [02:22] wishful thinking [02:22] what is the use in having a separate /boot partition and a swap partition? [02:22] meoblast001 Why does it have to be kodak? [02:23] the1corrupted: because i don't have the physical capabilities to turn it into a nother brand [02:23] the1corrupted: i don't do magic [02:23] Canaen: many, but if your just a home user its fine without a seperate /boot partition [02:23] meoblast001: every digital camera ive ever had. show up as a usb drive. some may have a menu item you have to enable to be 'usb storage' mode [02:23] Canaen: A separate /boot partition means you can still boot the box in theory even if / gets trashed. [02:23] aixenv: there are many mum's using linux and ubuntu [02:23] ziroday: thank you. [02:23] Canaen: Swap partition grants you improved access times in some instances. [02:23] Dr_Willis: Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device [02:23] ziroday: and many mums wishing their PnP apps worked === nick_h is now known as nick_h_ [02:24] meoblast001: Yeah, there are many ways of getting photos off cameras. One is to get a MicroSD reader and physically pull the card out of the camera. === nick_h_ is now known as nick_h [02:24] KB1JWQ: mmk. that sounds like a good idea [02:24] the1corrupted: do they give those away like the AOL discs? [02:24] aixenv: err PnP is a) outdated and b) not an app [02:24] or wondering why their games dont work .. [02:24] ziroday: there's apps for pnp devices.. [02:24] is there anyway to suppress these text events in xchat? [02:25] meoblast001: Go look at your local Wal-Mart. They're sure to have one or two laying around. Just ask for a photo card reader. [02:25] if someone is used to windows.. that takes transition [02:25] aixenv: you might want to read up on what the term PnP means http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Plug_and_Play before tossing it around [02:25] the1corrupted: should i ask them if i can have it for free? [02:25] orange-wedge: it has settings for a lot of that.. and customizable event text also [02:25] can someone help me [02:25] i know what PnP is [02:25] Can someone help me change the permissions on my external hdd so i can write to it [02:25] meoblast001: o.o It's not gonna be free, but it's gonna cost less than $20 [02:25] why cant i play games that i installed with wine?? [02:25] the1corrupted: well... in a moneyless society, everything would be free [02:26] anyone know what the cost is for ubuntu on amozons ec2? [02:26] does anybody know where do i set the log directory in pigin? I don't know where is it logging to [02:26] but sadly we can't have that [02:26] does a VirtualHost need a ServerName? [02:26] Cakk, what is the mount point? [02:26] actually, in a moneyless society, this damn thing would work [02:26] anyone knows if the problems with ATI x1200 drivers in 9.04 has been sorted out? [02:26] meoblast001 No, in a moneyless society, things would actually cost a whole lot more. Just not money. [02:26] in there an advantage in having your boot and swap paritions formatted as ext2 or ext3 rather than just having everything ext4? [02:26] vertix1: somewhere in ~/.purple/logs [02:26] ray66 : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu.html https://help.ubuntu.com/search.html?cof=FORID%3A9&cx=003883529982892832976%3Ae2vwumte3fq&ie=UTF-8&q=java&sa=Search [02:27] Canaen: swap partitions are formatted as swap, they have no filesystem [02:27] 是 [02:27] the1corrupted: well.. this conversation isn't changing the fact that this camera won't work [02:27] ziroday: what about /boot ? [02:27] Canaen: its best to have /boot as ext3 if you are going to have it seperate [02:27] ziroday, i am running off liveCD now. can i change the log directory in pigin? [02:27] meoblast001 Well, I'll tell you right now, a microSD reader is cheaper than a $100 XP license. [02:27] meoblast001...I went thru all kind of fixes and configurations and a $10.00 card reader from walmart fixed the problem [02:27] vertix1: I would presume so, but don't know how sorry [02:27] the1corrupted: no one i know likes Ubuntu except for my sister and she's starting to not like it [02:28] is there a way to have on boot-up the machine show what's it's loading without me having to hit a key combination? [02:28] meoblast001: if you felt like ranting about ubuntu please do so in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:28] the1corrupted: i can't keep up with the demands of people and the fuckups of all the companies that aren't supporting major operating systems [02:28] Anyone knows of a way to monitor signal strenght using a mobile broadband modem? [02:28] ziroday: i'm baned from that channel [02:28] Dr_Willis, thanks i was getting annoyed at seeing all the joins and quits this much nicer [02:28] when are you developers going to fix Ubuntu to play Flash videos over bluetooth headphones and headsets? [02:28] Ok, look...I REALLY like ubuntu [02:28] meoblast001: then you shouldn't be discussing it here, there are plenty of other offtopic channels. Also watch your language [02:29] orange-wedge: it pays to read the docs for irc clients. :) [02:29] ok [02:29] idk [02:29] I WANT to use it, but I updated and my sound isn't working AGAIN [02:29] i'll just go tell my mom i can't get it to work [02:29] *headesks* [02:29] mmmmm bluetooth audio to my headphones, those have been a big FAIL thus far in my gadget life [02:30] anybody knows how to change the log directory in pigin? [02:30] lovegrows It really isn't worth it unless you have bluetooth in your computer somewhere. [02:30] lovegrows: what [02:30] ravager: try using pulseaudio [02:30] how do i make so that I can have multiple sites use port 443 without it saying that my VirtualHosts are overlapping? Do they all need to be in the same file? is there some sort of equivalent to a "partial class" for virtualhusts? [02:31] ravager: 9.04 has problems with a buncha sound cards [02:31] vertix, the logs go to ~/.purple/logs and I think that is hardcoded [02:31] vertix1 you could always make a link :) [02:32] I have bluetooth on my computer, and they even show they are connected, with the name and everything. "airbirds connected" but I haven't gotten sound from the computer to go through them:( [02:32] :) [02:32] ok i have an idea. why dont you do this. instead of making all kinds of new fancy features for your new versions, why dont you fix the bugs in the current version? [02:33] linux_noob, different virtualhosts are identified by the 'hostname' sent in the HTTP request e.g. you'd have something like [02:33] zvacet...I have tried the first http the version is bi.6._07-b06 hot spot 10.0-b23 there are no plugins in the firefox about plugins directory will have a lok at the second suggestions [02:33] can anyone tell me how to get my bluetooth headset working for flash. is that at all possible? [02:33] jlgshsfjoid: They did an amazing job with X.org and Wireless devices. [02:33] i need help on a really weird boot problem with grub under ubuntu 8.10. I have 2 drives, IDE and SCSI and separate /boot paritions. Grub starts booting the kernel, but when it tries to mount the root filesystem it gives me this error: [2.023879] VFS: Cannot open root device "sdb8" or unknown block (0,0) [02:33] I /j #thunderbird [02:33] So anyway... I got this issue right now that has been plaguing me for the last week or so... And it's been torture trying to get my laptop's ALPS GlidePoint touchpad to work. This is starting to drive me up the wall. But right now, Linux can't even see my touch pad (it doesn't show up in the mouse options) and even though I enabled it in an fdi file, SHMConfig is still disabled... Help? [02:33] linux_noob, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html [02:33] before that, i get this error: [1.959688 crc error [02:34] dsabecky: whats that? [02:34] If I install pulse should i uninstall anything? [02:34] jlgshsfjoid: The Ubuntu dev. [02:34] and before that, i get this: [1.536064] RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0. [02:34] but im talking about bluetooth, dsabecky [02:35] ravager: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sound-solutions-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html [02:35] but the root partition is clean and is located in the right place and device file is correct [02:35] jlgshsfjoid: You did mention bluetooth, but then you said they fix bugs. They do, bluetooth isn't a priority. [02:35] !pastebin | the1corrupted [02:35] the1corrupted: 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) [02:36] i even reinstalled 8.10 again, just to make sure, but it still isn't booting, even thou it created new partitions for new install [02:36] dsabecky: why isnt bluetooth a priority? [02:36] vertix1: Did you try installing 9.04 [02:36] * ravager sighs [02:36] If everythingis a priority then nothing is. :) [02:36] I give up. When the sound issues are fixed i'll try again [02:36] jlgshsfjoid: Because there are more important things to fix, which is what they've been doing. [02:36] ravager: what sound issues? [02:36] dsabecky, nope, I can't, my windows box got rooted and i am running off liveCD, so i can't even fry anything [02:36] vertix1 so you ran fsck on the partition? [02:37] I am using 9.04, worked fine till I installed updates. [02:37] Now I have no sound again. [02:37] <|freddy|> hey, I have this question, if I burn ubuntu on a dvd, will it boot normally? [02:37] <|freddy|> is just that I have no cd's around [02:37] dsabecky: why spend time on all these new features when there are still bugs to fix though? [02:37] ravager: wget -O ~/Desktop/alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ~/Desktop/alsa-info.sh === tempest is now known as tempest_ [02:37] ravager: please tell me the url that script generates [02:37] is 9.04 big? [02:38] jlgshsfjoid: As I said, they are fixing things, like major issues with sound, video, and wireless. There are more important things than Bluetooth. They are doing the best they can. [02:38] |freddy|, if you mean burn the iso as a dvd iso yes it will work .. it will be a bit slower but it will work [02:38] is there a minimal install of 9.04 so that i could download it and install from liveCD i am running on right now? [02:38] vertix1 do you have a spare thumb drive? [02:39] That opened up my open office writer [02:39] dsabecky: but from what it sounds like the bluetooth compatibility has actually gotten /worse/ [02:39] orange-wedge, no, i dont [02:39] My SheevaPlug arrived today with Jaunty pre-installed! Anyone know if there is an IRC channel for these? [02:39] vertix1: unetbootin tool, or the usb-disk creater tool can install to a thumbdrive easially enough. :) [02:39] ravager: it shouldn't have. i presume you ran that whole command string in a Terminal emulator? [02:39] all i have right now is 2 drives, not even flash [02:39] vertix1: Hmm.. [02:40] vertix1: the live cd - has an installer. [02:40] Bluetooth isn't a priority because you buy it separately from the rest of your computer, and only some of us have bluetooth, but to you and me it is a big deal [02:40] http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3e22c769809294cd5851fe626f61f2782311c4dc [02:40] <|freddy|> coz_: really? slower? [02:40] |freddy|, yes I have dont this many times it installs just slightly slower but it works fine :) [02:40] hi [02:40] !news [02:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about news [02:41] is there another linux distro that works with bluetooth better? [02:41] Dr_Willis, ok, so what do i do from live cd to try 9.04. who knows, may be that one will make my box boot. but i still don't understand why i can't boot this one? its been a solid week of suffering and i tried everything imaginable [02:41] jlgshsfjoid: They are more than likely all going to use the same core software, so no. Look around online for fixes or different manager programs. [02:41] on a new installation of ubuntu 9.04, hal isn't reading fdi files - can someone help me please? === maria_ is now known as Jose [02:42] dsabecky: ok. thanks. :( [02:42] ravager: does pkill pulseaudio (and then allowing it to autorespawn) help? [02:42] please, help, do you guys know if IP fragments packets always like MTU size, MTU size, MTU size, remaining data or in may it in some situation make all the fragments be of the same length? [02:42] hi everyone, I installed the restricted ati drivers on JJ and now it won't boot and throws up a black screen with green bars, can I fix this from the live cd ? [02:43] anybody around who is good at linux booting off of dual drive system IDE/SCSI at the point where root partition is getting mounted? [02:43] vertix1 can you run sudo fsck -Fy /dev/sd [02:44] the distro isn't the problem in bluetooth, I dought there is a bluetoothbuntu, or arch for bluetoothers, Unfortunatly you will probably have to command-line it in:( === tempest_ is now known as tempest__ [02:44] im afraid not. [02:44] and insert the physical drive for the / partition [02:44] mib_1zon7o, did you run aticonfig --initial from the terminal [02:44] i dont mind command-lining [02:44] orange-wedge, yep, i ran fsck on all partitions, all clean, no problems of any kind, but i noticed drives get swapped around compared to live CD and grub when it is booting the box [02:44] Hey, is there any equivalent to the "import this" library in Python for the command line in Ubuntu? [02:44] zvacet...The alternatives are all showing correctly The one thing I do not have is the plugin in firefox The link from java to firefox shows the plugin oji.so file but not as a link [02:44] how do i do it though? [02:44] is there a solution [02:45] orange-wedge, but i have a feeling that scsi drivers are not loaded. but i tried to add initrd and even that did not help [02:45] I know that the fdi file works and is in the right place because I'm using it on an archlinux laptop properly [02:45] chuck_, I installed the driver and rebooted and now I am stuck, how do i get to terminal ? [02:45] vertix1 that should be normal with the drive letters [02:45] i cant command line very good so can you do it for me possibly? [02:45] Hello.

[02:54] I wish I could get your bluetooth working, but I haven't got mine working yet either. I bet you really want it to work right now but it isn't going to happen. I suggest ubuntuforums.org and a search for bluetooth audio and just go to town command-lineing:) [02:54] yeah i've had an ide drive working with my sata before === maria_ is now known as Salcedian [02:54] orange-wedge, ok, assume i'll make it boot without IDE. what do i do then to get my data off ide drive and make it boot eventually?

[02:55] lol [02:55] i would say get it booting and working... having two boot partitions is suspect [02:55] you could possibly boot from the disk you are now later [02:55] then backup all the files you need [02:55] Sergeant_Pony, in /boot/grub/menu.lst, remove quiet from the kernel options [02:56] io i turned off da caps lock [02:56] I guess everybody is pretty much happy running 9:04 [02:56] is your sata completely full? [02:56] Salcedian: ive had very few issues with it.

[02:57] Dr_Willis: like what will that be [02:57] Salcedian: other then having todo a little tweaking on my Multimedia keyboard.. no issues at all. [02:57] orange-wedge, well, sata is not completely full. i could make some space on it. how much? [02:57] swiftarrow, thanks :) [02:58] Minnie, how ya doin'? [02:58] np [02:58] minnie, no don't go!!! [02:58] Dr_Willis: what about ext4 [02:58] Salcedian, I'm running 9.04 on an Acer Aspire and it runs great, Best version yet. [02:58] IM NOT [02:58] damn [02:58] Salcedian: no hassles with that.. not really noticed any differaances with ext3 and 4. I got a box or 2 with ext4 and one with ext3. [02:58] :( [02:58] WII U SAID DAMN [02:59] orange-wedge, actually, you might have a point with trying to boot without ide. at least i'll know that it CAN boot, then i'll have to figure out what is going on with ide [02:59] MINNIE: you dont need to type in all caps ;) [02:59] srry [02:59] :) [02:59] Ciros: Their capslock is broken, apparently [02:59] !ati [02:59] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:59] hi #ubuntu, i purchased a new graphics card and my screen resolution has been capped. i believe i need to install drivers but i've had no luck following ATi's instructions [02:59] Or not, perhaps [02:59] :D [02:59] can anyone here advise? [03:00] Sergeant_Pony Dr_Willis that is nice to hear ... [03:00] wow Matrox, there is a company I havent heard of in forever. [03:00] genni: u need to hut up with your smart ass mouth [03:00] do you have an older ati card? [03:00] Dr_Willis: when do you sleep and what do you do appart from beeing here? [03:00] I'm using meld to compare two MythTV media backups and Meld wont show any files. Help? [03:00] orange-wedge, any other ideas? what about it swapping drives around? from liveCD, sata is sda, but when grub is booting, it is sdb. But there is a drive mapping in grub. I could change that map. i recall reading about it somewhere [03:00] q_: right now i got 30 to 60 days off work. :) [03:00] !language | MINNIE [03:00] MINNIE: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:01] orange-wedge, do you have any idea about the drive map and drive swapping by grub? [03:01] lovegrows: not especially, it's a 4800 series card purchased in November [03:01] Sergeant_Pony- that distro came with it in you aspire one [03:01] Dr_Willis: if you still get paid that sound awesome [03:01] vertix1 yeah not too familiar with the syntax [03:01] q_: unemployment checks [03:01] !meld [03:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about meld [03:01] Ciros, Matrox is pro grade stuff, much better than what you use i bet [03:01] Salcedian, I started out with 7.04 and kept going on up to 9.04 and I'm very happy with the progress Ubuntu has made. [03:02] Dr_Willis: money is money :) [03:02] Genni : wat did u say [03:02] hello guys how to install other good and safe browser?i have only firefox..i want to have another one so that i can check my 2nd yahoo email in other browser.i cannot check 2 accounts of yahoo at the same time at the same firefox browser or is there other way to open the 2 account of yahoo mail in one browser? [03:02] Hi, Is there a away to monitor signal strenght from a mobile broadband conection? [03:02] rhorse : wat did u say [03:02] vertix1: I was just saying i havent heard of the company spoken as far as video cards in a while. you dont need to get defensive nor hostile [03:02] in jaunty === tempest is now known as tempest___ [03:03] vertix1 what does the output of sudo fdisk -l look like? [03:03] orange-wedge, well, syntax is not a problem. you just change the letter names, i just don't quite get how exactly it is working and at which exact point drives get swapped, at the point of creation of grub or at the point of actually booting from MBR [03:03] jigp I like seamonkey and dillo [03:03] Sergeant_Pony that is nice to hear I have an acer one too...that I am thinking installing another distro like CentOS....but I have one box with ubuntu already on it === tempest___ is now known as tempest [03:03] Could anyone help me setup xchat to connect to a psybnc? [03:03] jigp, you could install opera via synaptic, but I am not sure you could do what you want to do [03:03] tempest mothershed is dat u [03:03] Ciros, well, i like matrox a lot. i am not defensive, trust me. [03:03] RHorse : dillo is ultra-light but you can feel that [03:04] Salcedian, I'm also running the Server version of Ubuntu as well. Very happy with it's performance under heavy load. [03:04] Meld just shows directories. I need it to show files. Help? [03:04] Hi, Is there a away to monitor signal strenght from a mobile broadband conection in jaunty? [03:04] q_ very. But good for google mail [03:04] RHorse how to install?i look for it in synaptic and there was no file of seamonkey and dillo [03:05] are there smartphones that can remote control a terminal via bluetooth? [03:05] Is there a away to monitor signal strenght from a mobile broadband conection in jaunty? [03:05] that was a warwalkers dream :) [03:05] Ciros, actually, i am running matrox card right now because color and saturation and font rendering is WAY much better than the video chipset i have installed. [03:06] jigp: try seamonkey-browser [03:06] drmrhorse_ : in synaptic? [03:06] just saying you dont hear of them much in consumer electronics anymore. [03:06] yes [03:06] vertix1 can you run more /boot/grub/device.map [03:07] btw, i am looking for web programmers with SQL, HTML, CSS, PHP type of experience and site design for a very interesting project with potential to make lotsa bux. if anybody interested, just pm me [03:07] also, java would be helful [03:07] i have a second display set up through nvidia-settings - it doesn't work. the screen is black, but when I move my mouse to the other screen I can see the pointer on the second screen. [03:08] kerin, ok which nvidia card specifically and which driver version [03:08] jigp sudo apt-get install seamonkey dillo === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [03:08] kerin: just drag a window over to the 2nd screen? [03:08] so, before i reboot, anybody can help me out to figure out this weird boot problem of not being able to mount a clean root file system on right device and partition? [03:09] coz_: gtx260/driver 180. [03:09] kerin: if you can see the pointer move to the 2nd monitor..its working... [03:09] I was lucky enough to make it through c with a b hopefully I will have better luck with PHP and other web languages [03:09] Dr_Willis, that never works - doing so just puts it on the second Compiz screen. [03:09] kerin, also when you open nvidia-settings and go to xserver display configuration are both monitors shown? [03:09] what does the device map look like? [03:09] kerin, do you have a background image on the desktop? [03:09] kerin: try disabling compiz. I drag windows to the 2nd moniotor all the time here.. ive never ntoiced compiz affecting that [03:09] Dr_Willis, incorrect. if it was working my wallpaper'd be visible and i'd be able to open windows there. [03:09] orange-wedge, are you asking me? [03:09] yep [03:09] coz_: i do not. [03:09] RHorse : what is the best dvd burning in gnome 9.04?i have here brasero.is it ok?i dont want to waste dvd cd blank.i have problem with brasero in 8.04.wasted 6 blank dvd blank [03:09] just a sec [03:10] kerin: you did enable twinview? using an extended desktop? or did you use 2 seperate X server setting? [03:10] Dr_Willis, no. on my previous 8.10 install compiz + the second monitor worked fine. [03:10] kerin, ok first open a terminal and paste this glxinfo -l |grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE [03:10] Dr_Willis, it's configured as a separate display. [03:10] kerin, just tell me the max texture size on the readout === drmrhorse_ is now known as DrMrHores [03:10] coz_, 8192 === DrMrHores is now known as DrMrHorse [03:10] http://pastebin.com/m69143616 [03:11] jigp gnomebaker? [03:11] kerin, oo nice you really shouldnt have too much issue with max texture size then [03:11] kerin, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [03:11] that link was for orange-wedge [03:11] coz_, since i can move my pointer over there at all - and because it worked flawlessly in both 8.10 and the same install dist-upgraded to 9.04 - it isn't a hardware issue. [03:12] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT200 [GTX260-216] (rev a1) [03:12] kerin: i never use it as a seperate display. thats how i though it was supposed to work. Like you describe. I always use it as 'twinview' so i can just drag windows over.. its working that way here. with compiz, 2 dvi monitors, nvidia 8800gtsxxx , nvidia drivers 180. Want my xorg.conf ? [03:12] kerin, no but I wanted to check exact card version before searching [03:12] orange-wedge, you only need to look at 1st boot entry [03:13] Dr_Willis, it's been working as a separate display for months. I'm even using the same (functional) xorg.conf. the issue is originating elsewhere, probably with gnome since my pointer still works. [03:13] anybody else knows much about booting grub on dual ide/scsi arrangement? [03:13] kerin, are you setting the dual monitor manually via nvidia-settings? [03:13] kerin: no idea then. heres my xorg.conf if you want to compare. http://pastebin.com/f4697d30d [03:14] kerin, and you do need to run this as twinview [03:14] coz_: yes. although, again. i'm using a known good con- [03:14] Is there anyway to get better performance in VirtualBox on ubuntu? : ) Video performance.. [03:14] kerin: Im confused then as to what 'a seperate' display and 'twinview' differ then. [03:14] coz_: no, i do not. twinview is not what i'm looking for. [03:14] Dr_Willis, then you are not qualified to help me. thank you. [03:14] Dr_Willis: a separate display would mean you can't move the mouse or windows from one to another. [03:15] kerin, ok then you will have some issues with separate xscreens and I never use separate xscreens so I wont be able to trouble shoot this [03:15] what is ex-chat? is it a new version of xchat? [03:15] doleyb: which is what hes describing as being able to do.. so somone is confused here. [03:15] merkoen: give it some more mbs from you grafic card, could help [03:15] vertix1: It's an XChat joke. [03:15] coz_: this is apparent. thank you anyway. [03:15] kerin, although with twinview windows will open only on the primary monitor until you drag them to seondary monitor [03:15] kerin, they will also maximize only on the primary [03:15] kerin, that can be changed in xorg.conf [03:16] dsabecky, oh, i see. what kinda joke is this? meaning xchat sux? [03:16] when I do vconfig add eth1 4 it tells me that I cannot do so becauase eth1 is down? do I have to ifconfig eth1 up first? [03:16] Where can I find instructions on installing the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 9.04? [03:16] vertix1: No, it's just a play on words. [03:16] Hmm.. with twinview i definatly CAN maxamize windows on the 2nd monitor.. and they can rember/open on the 2nd monitor. [03:16] Can someone suggest a GUI firewall app that can give popup notifications? I've looked at Firestarter but that's kind of sucky. [03:16] !firewall [03:16] coz_, again. you don't understand the problem. evidently i have come to the wrong place. [03:16] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist [03:16] Dr_Willis, yes but not unless you put them there [03:16] oh boy [03:17] short temper there [03:17] coz_: actually you can set the DISPLAY variable :) and make them go there first. [03:17] dsabecky, i see. did they improve much on xchat lately? cause i used it a while back and it was not really upto snuff, at least compared to mirc on windoze [03:17] coz_: shame on us makeing him mad with our imcompantance.. [03:17] I'm in need of opinion. I'm needing to upgrade my laptop and I'm thinking of virtualizing it. I wrote it up here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7268106#post7268106 - any comment or insights? [03:17] coz_: i think he was a tad confused. [03:17] Dr_Willis, I agree but most users are not going to think of that at first except kerin who didnt have patience enough :) [03:18] vertix1: mIRC is the best IRC client I've ever used. To be fair though, I wrote a ton of scripts to modify it, which you can do in XChat [03:18] orange-wedge, did you have a chance to look at my grub config? [03:18] coz_: gonna try 'seperate displays' to see what happens. :) [03:19] Dr_Willis, I dont think you will like separate xscreens if you are used to twinview :) [03:19] why are so many applications KDE or Gnome specific? [03:19] dsabecky, yep, mirc is pretty powerful, but some stuff is kinda confusing in the menus, but that's ok, if ANY linux irc client would be as good as mirc, that would be great. i wonder why he did not port it to linux [03:19] coz_: what he was describing doing was exactly how twinview works for me. [03:19] brb [03:19] vertix1 yeah is it identical for each /boot partition? [03:19] that is where Java rocks. You don't even have to port anything, it just runs binary compatible on any os that runs jvm [03:19] q_, they are written as separate desktop environments and gnome is written in C and kde is written in C+= [03:19] C++ [03:20] vertix1 you mentioned you have tow [03:20] Dr_Willis, but with twinview your dekstop background should stretch across both monitors [03:20] orange-wedge:, yep, i just tried to play with different things so i dont' have to reboot all the time into live cd, but nothing would help [03:21] orange-wedge, do i have to use initrd to make sure scsi drives are loaded? [03:21] i have installed ubuntu 9.04 using wubi. i want to go to a real install. is there a good way i can keep all my gnome/compiz settings? [03:21] : SineDeviance copy aor home folder [03:21] your [03:21] SineDeviance: especially .gnome and .gnome2_* [03:21] q_, thats all i gotta do? [03:21] btw, how big is 9.04 download? [03:22] hi all, I have a dual-boot windows xp and ubuntu system. The ubuntu side sees and can use the dvd and cd drive. Neither shows up under windows, and yet i used cd to install windows in the first place. Any ideas??? [03:22] vertix1, about 700meh [03:22] meg* [03:22] SineDeviance: yea, back it up and overwrite it later (espaccially the hidden folders!) [03:22] When I check the bios at boot up, it shows hard drive, but neither cdrom shows up....yet they work under ubuntu? What gives? [03:22] vertix1 i doubt it is your scsi modules [03:22] Hmmmm [03:22] i wonder if what i am having problem with booting isn't a bug that's been fixed in 9.04 [03:22] SineDeviance: you'll have to reinstall all packages that you installed now, but the settings will be kept [03:22] q_, okay. but aren't there settings in those folders that correspond to the wubi setup and wont work on a real one? (i'm talking like drive paths and such)? [03:22] with seperate displays I got a Gnome Panel on both :) and the same wallpaper on both [03:22] geordi {int test =5; cout << test; } [03:22] oops [03:22] sorry [03:23] orange-wedge, but what it could be then? i tried every single conceivable combination of things and root partition is clean. i can't be boot sector on that partition, could it? [03:23] Dante123: Sounds more like a Windows issue than an Ubuntu issue. But if I had to guess, install your drivers for whatever chipset controls the cd/dvd. May get more help in ##windows [03:23] SineDeviance: I'm no Pro, but copying /home/ is a common thing to do and most path in linux are standard paths (wubi has the same structure like you final install will have) [03:24] q_, ok [03:24] thanks === ZSV[AFK] is now known as Zwemshortventje [03:24] vertix1 i think it just might be the ide drive [03:24] I really dont see aht one gains by seperate displays vs 'twinview' :) [03:24] hi [03:25] orange-wedge, IDE drive? how so? it is a perfectly working drive. never had a single problem with it. what could be a problem with it? [03:25] Dr_Willis: it's an entirely different thing. For example if you wanted to run gnome and kde at the same time. If you wanted two people (with 2 mice and 2 keyboards and 2 monitors) sitting at one PC. [03:25] vertix1 did you have that drive as boot drive before? does it have a boot sector? [03:25] orange-wedge, and it is a pretty old maxtor drive, so the drivers are there for years [03:25] doleyb: some how i got the gnome desktop across both. [03:26] i was wondering why does amarok work in gnome, i thought it worked only in kde? isn't it qt based? [03:26] how to prevent a process to use more than x% of the CPU and y% of the RAM ? [03:26] doleyb: they are 2 copies of gnome i guess is what i am looking at. [03:26] i have both desktops installed, but i can run most kde apps seamlessly in gnome too [03:26] vertix1 you may have clashing boot sectors [03:26] orange-wedge, yep, i had it as a boot drive b4 and it was ok [03:26] maxagaz: renice may work for at least the cpu usage [03:26] orange-wedge, i even swapped drives in bios and still no luck [03:26] Dr_Willis: Yeah, that would be a common result. But there are many other things that could be done. [03:26] genii problem is I think I need cd drive working to install drivers...but I will see if I can dl from web. Thanks. [03:27] vertix1 theres a way to delete the boot sector in linux recovery mode [03:27] doleyb: but its working exactly as he described.. :) i think he was actually using twinview by mistake... and dident realize it [03:27] orange-wedge, what do you mean clashing boot sectors? [03:27] doleyb: but what do we know... We are just morons i guess. heh [03:27] where is menu.lst in kubuntu 9.04? [03:27] radixor: there is nothing to stop kde applications from running in gnome if the appropriate libraries are present [03:27] is there a ubuntu program that can scan windows for viruses? [03:27] vertix1 well they both probably have boot records [03:27] is it easy to set up a dual-screen dual-system (2 mice 2 keyboards 2 monitors 2 useres)? [03:28] q_: i dont thinkits 'easy' [03:28] q_: No it isn't easy yet. It still requiress some low-level nastiness. [03:28] orange-wedge, well why would i need to delete a boot sector for root parition? the MBR was overwritten with grub on both drives anyway [03:28] q_: and i did see some app/program that was supposed to let you do it easier..but it was comercial.. and i dont rember its name [03:28] fornix: super cool:) thanks a lot fornix! [03:28] q_: Back in the 80s you could buy computers set up for 16 at a time like that, pre-setup. [03:28] doleyb: the good old days... [03:29] q_: use serial terminals! :) [03:29] How much time does the Intrepid -> Jaunty upgrade take? (considering I'll be upgrading from the alternate ISO) [03:29] orange-wedge, yep, they do both have boot records because it is MBR, so it MUST have it. on the first partition of a drive at least [03:29] Dr_Willis: whats that? [03:29] Dr_Willis: I had a large cube Wang computer with 10+ serial ports for the terminals... I lost it somewhere. I don't know how I lost it, because its huge. [03:29] getting an error when i try to install ATi drivers vcdk missing, aborting install. [03:29] where is menu.lst (grub) in kubuntu 9.04?? [03:29] q_: a way to hook up a lot of terminals to a server.. to allow dozens of people access [03:29] i googles but i don't know how to get that [03:29] doleyb: its under the couch. [03:29] vertix1 so yeah i'm not sure how a system woudl behave two MBRs [03:29] luminoso: That would be in /boot/grub [03:30] RHorse : ok ill install that too (gnomebaker) [03:30] owh, no file there. boots directly to windows [03:30] * spence is reminded i need to clean up my grub file [03:30] doleyb: so as far as i can tell.. without a lot of tweaking the seperate displays is a tad useless.. :) [03:30] orange-wedge, and that ide drive does not cause any conflict with my redhat linux (installed on ide) and sata drive being used in the same configuration [03:30] owh, i think it's because vista loader. but i cant edit menu.lst to change that [03:31] hello how to install shackwave and adobe flash player in ubuntu 9.04? [03:31] !flash | jigp [03:31] jigp: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:31] Dr_Willis: Yeah fairly, although if you run DISPLAY=:1 mplayer -fs dvd://1 [03:31] orange-wedge, there is no problem with 2 MBRs, you MUST have an MBR on the 1st partition of a drive [03:31] doleyb: allready figured that out. :) [03:31] is there a shockwave for linux? [03:31] otherwise that drive is not bootable [03:31] vertix1 so you can choose the redhat ant it boots [03:31] q_: Nope [03:31] q_: No [03:31] doleyb: i did notice the gnome panels on the 2nd display launch stuff.. that then appears on the wrong display heh [03:31] How much time does the Intrepid -> Jaunty upgrade take? (considering I'll be upgrading from the alternate ISO) [03:32] doleyb: and with the gnome desktop i can drag icons to the 2nd display.. they then launch onthe first display also.. heh [03:32] How can I modify my keymap to do this: ' + c = ç ? [03:32] orange-wedge, yep, when i chose redhat, it boots ok [03:32] the ide drive is 1st bios drive [03:32] doleyb: exactly like we was telling that guy.. but i guess he knows best. [03:32] What risks are associated with upgrading Ubuntu distrus? [03:32] if i chose sata as 1st bios drive, then redhat does not boot because grub config for it is incorrect [03:33] linux_noob: you could lose all of your data [03:33] doleyb: yea with out using a custome .xinitrc or somthing.. this is a bit annoying. :) time to reset it back to twinview. [03:33] damn, how to send pms? [03:33] gnea how likely is that :x [03:33] anybody else might have some idea about this boot problem? [03:34] cause i am swampted with it for a week now [03:34] !gnash [03:34] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software.

[03:34] Hello what command give me 20 process make high load sort by cpu usage ? same top stat output [03:34] ce_mutzz [03:34] How can I modify my keymap to do this: ' + c = ç ? [03:35] orange-wedge, what was that ahci thing you were talking about in bios? can you tell me how to try to set it? [03:35] Yea - can say twinview beats seperate displays. :) [03:35] owh, any idea? [03:35] linux_noob: it depends on many things: a) how good your hardware is, b) if you have backed up your data already, c) if you perform all of the required steps, in the proper order, your chances of losing your data are slim, d) if lightening strikes and takes the system down in the middle of the upgrade, and the surge is so strong that it destroys your hard drive motor [03:35] luminoso: Idea of what? [03:36] I would like to logger 20 higher ps stats , how to do that ? [03:36] how do i find current installed version of ubuntu? [03:36] spence: $ lsb_release -a [03:36] hello, is there something i can do to be able to use live cd in my onld pc/pentium4/1GBram ¿¿ [03:36] Gnea: I like that one! makes me very confident [03:36] 8.04, cheers [03:36] owh, how to mix ubuntu and vista loader [03:36] xangua: that should run on that system. [03:36] vertix1: thanks! i'm a firm believer in surge protectors and UPSes [03:37] looks like the / (root) filesystem for an Ubuntu 9.04 installation must be at least ~2GB, or otherwise the installer complains? Is that true? [03:37] the LTS versión is what i have installed before but the nev ubuntu jaunty does not load, it stays in a black screen after the 'loading bar' is full [03:37] luminoso: Well, may I suggest that you ask the channel that question? [03:37] gnea given my luck, i think i'll hold off on that update :/ [03:37] Gnea, in the place i am in right now, if i did not have UPS, i'd be rebooting 20 times/day [03:37] multi_io: ive never noticed.. i would think 6GB would be the min id want to use. [03:37] Dr_Willis: but it soesn't [03:37] i can't even imagine booting without UPS [03:37] xangua: perhaps state what it is doing/not doing exactly?

[03:38] linux_noob: if you're not familiar with the process, then yeah, I recommend holding off as well [03:38] and i used to drive a very nice cadi in da silicon valley, consulting the biggest and baddest of them all, like Intel and HP [03:38] p [03:38] :) [03:38] Dr_Willis: i select to start using without install and when the ubuntu menubar is full it stays in a black screen [03:38] multi_io: ive found lately that other then a seperate /home using lots of other partitions can cause more hassles then you gain. [03:39] multi_io: at least you dident try to put /etc/ on its own partition. [03:39] Dr_Willis : partitions or Drives? [03:39] and now i can't even boot ubuntu after perfectly clean installation without ANY errors [03:39] q_: i tend to use 3 partitions on a normal install / /home and swap. thats about it. :) [03:39] what do you call this? [03:40] Dr_Willis... yeah and i will never use LVM for my root or boot partitions ever again [03:40] q_: i do have one box with /home on its own drive :) [03:40] vertix1: bad hardware [03:40] spending a WEEK trying to boot after clean install? [03:40] never heard of anything like this in my whole life [03:40] orange-wedge: yea. i found a lotof that stuff just cuses way too many complications.

[03:41] Gnea, nope, my hardware is perfectly good. yes, i got rooted under windoze and that could have screwed some things up, but that should not prevent it from booting [03:41] Dr_Willis i do like LVM for my massive partition /storage [03:41] prag, boot into ubuntu and upgade [03:41] !upgrade | prag (you don't, you can simply upgrade your 8.10 installation to 9.04) [03:41] prag (you don't, you can simply upgrade your 8.10 installation to 9.04): For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [03:41] orange-wedge: i got external TB sized usb drives for that. :) [03:41] orange-wedge: but myneeds are simple.. More space for the wifes videos. [03:41] thanks for the help, bye everyone [03:42] im having a problem removing my soudcard module... see error here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/171220/ [03:42] I think its just a matter of order... but don't know [03:42] vertix1: well, if the rooter managed to overload the system in some way, a hardware failure would certainly cause it to not boot right... [03:42] Gnea, is there any way i can upgrade to 9.04 from liveCD without frying anything cause my fryer won't word while i am on livecd? [03:43] why is my USB memory being mounted as read-only? I want to wipe the contents off? How do I format it in vfat for reuse? [03:43] but i downloaded the iso image for kubuntu. how do i do with that [03:43] what_if: You need to clost things that may be using it. Like mixers [03:43] vertix1: i don't understand what you're asking. [03:43] Naynay: is it ntfs filesystem? you want to format it to what filesystem? [03:43] prag, try this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde then upgrade oor the other way around [03:43] naynay [03:43] It's a vfat filesystem. 9.04 is mounting it readonly for reasons I don't understand [03:43] Gnea, well, i dont see any indications of anything not working properly as far as hardware goes [03:43] you can mount it manually [03:43] I could but.... [03:44] Gnea, i don't think their goal was to destroy my box. i have big logs of their network all saved [03:44] i'll publish those logs [03:44] vertix1: well "it doesn't boot" could mean any number of things, which you haven't pointed out [03:44] Naynay: you have to mountthem with the proper options normally. you can format it with the gparted tool if you want. [03:44] what_if: Also you might want to use sudo modprobe -r modulename instead of rmmod. modprobe will also remove all sub-dependant modules where rmm doesn't [03:44] is there a way to upgrade to ultimate edition from terminal? [03:44] *rmmod [03:44] superboy: i would avoid most of those fancy named ubuntu variants [03:45] superboy: for that one..basicially just start installing EVERYTHING.. :) [03:45] superboy: Ultimate edition of what? [03:45] gparted in the repositories, right? [03:45] vertix1: well, if you let them root you, then perhaps you should concentrate more on making sure it doesn't happen again before taking any sort of retaliatory action [03:45] it is a big time case actually, i have logs of one of the biggest names in recording industry involved with this rootkit global network of sabotage. this could be a pretty big story. i just did one google search and felt on my arse [03:45] !info gparted [03:45] gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor.

[03:45] ok thats good enough for my thanks [03:45] and i looged every single rootkit network packet for a week!!!!! [03:46] I don't know why a partition editor isn't in the main distribution.... but whatever [03:46] vertix1: great, now don't lose it :p [03:46] Naynay: space space and space...

After upgrading to 9.04, when I boot my machine, the wireless indicator starts blinking (annoying). I don't use wireless, and it's unwanted. I can stop this by doing "sudo /sbin/ifconfig ra0 down" but why should I have to do this? Is there a way to stop it at startup? Adding that command into /etc/rc.local doesn't seem to work. [03:58] I am trying to use apt-get purge and it won't remove the rest [03:58] so, anybody around knows about ide/scsi boot issue with not being able to mount a clean root partition in the right device?

[04:18] juninhoguitarr /join #ubuntu-gr [04:18] br [04:19] nope it just showed the ubuntu screen then it went to a green logo and purple writing that said ubuntu [04:19] and i did the recovery and it wouldnt work [04:19] how do i determine what module is running the bluetooth in my laptop? I want to disable it so as not to consume so much battery power [04:19] darrellsmith, were you able to switch to another terminal and log in [04:19] Jack_Sparrow: So, If I have that kernel version it means that I also have linux-image and linux-headers? [04:19] myk_robinson1, just disable bluetooth from startup programs [04:19] max_ no [04:19] i couldnt get no command prompt] [04:20] didnt ask for my username or password [04:20] pangloss: will that actually disable the device, or just the applet for the taskbar? [04:20] guys i'm trying to follow these instructions: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide#1._Install_necessary_build_tools_and_libraries [04:20] and it's just too complicated for me [04:20] Jack_Sparrow: What do you mean then? :S [04:20] max_ sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` [04:20] and i verfied my cds and i did a live boot everyone worked some guy told me the grub got corrupted [04:20] <|freddy|> anyone know a good free windows application to burn the ubuntu iso? [04:20] myk_robinson1, it will cause bluetooth to not startup on boot [04:21] imgburn is free [04:21] |freddy| isorecorder [04:21] hi [04:21] whats the best JRE greater than 1.5 for aptana for eclipse? [04:21] !burn [04:21] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [04:21] I have a program running under wine that expects a com port [04:21] pangloss: thank you. Do you think I will see any significant change in battery use? [04:21] !bluetooth [04:21] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [04:21] dvdflick is a good dvd authoring tool for windows and it free [04:21] how can I connect to usb0 ? [04:21] thats usb [04:21] <|freddy|> for windows :D [04:21] Laurenceb /join #winehq [04:22] when i click on a pane in the pager, the pane goes grey, and doesnt switch desktop. whats happened? ( ctrl alt rt arrow is ok ) [04:22] myk_robinson1, it depends, bluetooth is a low-power protocol so probably not by much [04:22] hmm, is it possible to have nautilus extended with a terminal shell? file manipulations is much easier when using cli [04:22] tomp3 You keep asking the same question.. give some details.. what app, what version of ubuntu .. [04:22] plus you can launch python, perl, etc, possibly even manage a set of scripts [04:22] myk_robinson1, you're probably better off just lowering your LCD brightness until you cant see the screen any more =) [04:22] Jack_Sparrow: Okay, I already had the newest linux-headers, but what about linux-image? [04:23] pangloss: got it lowered now. Does disabling desktop efects make a diff? [04:23] max_ fire up synaptic [04:23] ubuntu 8.04 & app is the desktop, the pager doesnt work like it used to. the panes go grey and it doesnt switch [04:23] pangloss: I think it may be this damn AMD Turion X2 64 cpu. Fan never stops running..It does stay cool though [04:23] i hoe it doesnt happen again [04:23] Jack_Sparrow: Are they not included when I update to a newer kernel version? [04:23] i installed ubuntu again and i hope it works fine [04:23] myk_robinson1, well sure, anythign that causes your cpu to be used less will save you battery life [04:24] max_ not the source etc [04:24] I'm installing 9.10 on a friends laptop, he has the BCM4328 wireless card, I /cannot/ get it to work, even if I enable it through the restricted drivers manager, I've restarted, I've tried through the NDISWRAPPER front-end package, (yes, the radio kill switch is set correctly) [04:24] myk_robinson1, the big killers are the LCD screen and the programs you run [04:24] pangloss: running it at 800MHz doesnt seem to change it. I think this laptop performs about the same running Windows. I guess its just a power hungry laptop. HP dv2310us [04:24] will thanks guys take care [04:24] pangloss: perhaps my solution is just to buy a 12 cell battery [04:25] myk_robinson1, the battery could just be dying [04:25] myk_robinson1, you would probably be better off, and get more functionality out of your laptop [04:25] pangloss: its relatively new, about a year old. I got it used yesterday and repaired it [04:25] nice laptop, just the battery life sucks [04:26] Jack_Sparrow: I don't get what linux-image is, and what do you want me to do with synaptic? [04:26] myk_robinson1, my girlfriends laptop ate 3 batteries in her first two years of owning it. Those HPs get so damn hot [04:26] myk_robinson1, heat is another real killer of battery life [04:26] /exit [04:26] pangloss: I thought about a laptop chill pad, but that would just eat more battery to power it [04:26] I'm installing 9.10 on a friends laptop, he has the BCM4328 wireless card, I /cannot/ get it to work, even if I enable it through the restricted drivers manager, I've restarted, I've tried through the NDISWRAPPER front-end package, (yes, the radio kill switch is set correctly), I'm browsing the forums now and haven't had any luck. Any ideas? [04:27] pangloss myk_robinson1 Please take the OT to private channel thanks [04:27] gnea well it didn't work [04:27] pangloss: I thought about buy a laptop cooler, but that would just eat more battery to power it through the USB bus [04:27] gnea but thanks for the advice [04:27] !broadcom [04:27] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:27] Jack_Sparrow: ?? Looking to tweaks to improve battery life with ubuntu. Still need to go off topic? [04:28] myk_robinson1 the conversation degenerated to chat.. hot ubuntu support [04:28] not [04:28] i have a question is there a current compatibility issue with ati radeon 3870x2? [04:28] Jack_Sparrow: sorry [04:28] np [04:28] h00k, you enabled the b43 driver in restricted and you still could not find any wireless networks? [04:28] Jack_Sparrow: I appreciate it, but those links are only updated to Hardy [04:29] pangloss: yep. The card shows up in network manager, just doesn't show any networks [04:29] how can i reconfigure X-server [04:29] h00k too many different versions of the bcm43xx for me.. I have 4 differnet ones [04:29] h00k: are you trying to connect to the internet wirelessly? [04:29] RichiV: yeah. [04:30] h00k: first try using ethernet and connecting to the internet.... then do a normall update for your system === D is now known as Guest54320 [04:30] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, this is the 4328 to be specific [04:30] RichiV: yes, I've tried thata [04:30] melik: install the propiatary driver, check out xrandr and randr for control.. do you have nvidia or ati or ?? with bad resolution? [04:30] h00k: then have you restarted your computer? [04:30] RichiV: yes [04:30] Jack_Sparrow: arrrr [04:31] how do you stop the connected drives from showing on your desktop? [04:31] h00k: arrrg... lol have you searched to see if the driver is compatable [04:31] scunizi: its a netbook, intel 945 [04:31] danno9, what do you mean? [04:31] RichiV: yes, people have gotten it to work, I've tried the same steps and no luck. [04:31] i'm trying to install 9.04 and am using a standard def tv as display device, the install cd loads up fine and shows me the first screen of options, but when i choose to install.. it works for a bit, then spits out some errors from ubiquity.. then sends me to a command line.. any way to manually specify something so X will load? [04:32] melik: check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if "intel" is listed as the driver.. [04:32] h00k: have you also tried to go to System -> Administrationg -> Hardware Drivers [04:32] RichiV: yes. [04:32] h00k then ENABLE it [04:32] RichiV: yes. [04:32] h00k http://www.ask.com/bar?q=ubuntu+bcm+4328&page=1&qsrc=19&ab=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D979728 [04:32] h00k: hmmm might I get what Wireless card you are usuing? I might have the Same Broadcom Driver [04:33] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, I've tried this link also, no-go but I'll try again [04:33] I have a question When I switch to Nvidia drivers thee screen appears to be over-scanninghe t lcd tv i have my pc hooked to via hdmi [04:33] h00k: oh and it's be helpful to know what Version of Uubntu you are using [04:33] largeglassmug439 from the install screen press f4 chose safe graphics mode [04:33] h00k that feisty no fluff seems to work for most [04:33] h00k: did it ever work ? [04:33] Cpudan80: yah, it did [04:33] hello everyone i have a small question to ask. if i am running 8.04 now and update to 9.04 will i lose all my information? [04:33] RichiV: all of the questions you've asked me I've covered in the original question [04:33] h00k: I had a similar problem - I had to run a fsck on the HDD to get it to work again [04:34] with a broadcom chipset too [04:34] le sigh [04:34] RichiV: 9.04, BCM 4328 [04:34] err maybe it was Atheros [04:34] takumo you cant go from 8.04 to 9.04// I dont think [04:34] Jack_Sparrow: lemme try this NoFluff link again [04:34] umm, is thereanyone that's had the graphic desktop die after installing the graphic drivers that say they were tested by unbuntu staff? [04:34] hello [04:34] no scunizi [04:34] it doesnt [04:34] Jack_Sparrow, takumo you cannot upgrade directly from 8.04 to 9.04 [04:34] Kura Only when they do it wrong [04:34] melik: what's listed there? [04:34] h00k: sorry ive only just got on, so i didn't know that oricinal Question... I also had the same problem, and for me I am using a laptop, so I Plugged my laptop in while updating and such... amybe its the power... It worked for me. [04:35] i've just installed 9.04... i can't seem to unhide the system tools menu [04:35] ok, i tried installing windows on sda, and ubuntu on sdb, installed grub on sda, sda1, sda2, sda5, all error 15. now i want to install jaunty on sda with windows on sda, what is the best way to do this so grub can detect winblows and jaunty? [04:35] Jack_Sparrow, so i can only update from lts to lts? [04:35] is it stored as a folder? if so, where is it located? [04:35] Can anyone explain after I install the Nvidia propiertaty drivers the edjes of my screen seem to be missing [04:35] i need to check the read permissions [04:35] XD ok well i don't know what i did wrong then i just activated the drivers the system told me were tested and right for me [04:35] RichiV: yeah, its alright, I'm going to try something else again [04:35] scunizi: section device correct? [04:35] how does one share a ntfs folder using samba without getting Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = false" ??? [04:35] takumo, you need to first upgrade to 8.10, then to 9.04 [04:35] omnydevi the installer last run will have grub for the two previous installs [04:35] it says "Configured Video Device" [04:35] honk1: i think its allow guest = true [04:35] melik: yes if I remember correctly.. should be a line labeled "Driver "intel" [04:36] h00k: oh also the new Jaunty has nummerous bugs, and downgrading to the 8.04 Hardy LTS then upgrading to 8.10 Intrepid might be of help as well [04:36] hello - i am connecting via openvpn and got the following error when connecting "WARN: could not open database for 4096 bits. Skipped" any ideas what this means? thanks [04:36] weird [04:36] system menu is now displayed [04:36] Jack_Sparrow: so if I just install Ubuntu on the same drive as windows all should be well? [04:36] weird ubuntu [04:36] nope i dont have that :s [04:36] omnydevi i added the line in smb.conf ans it makes no difference [04:36] melik: you might need to add the driver line.. the other thing you can try is to boot to the recovery kernel and in there, there is an option to reconfigure or fix X [04:36] h00k: 8.10 got all of my drivers to work, ecspecially my GFX driver the ATI mobi radeon x600, which is not supported in Jaunty or Hardy [04:36] omnydevi, you need a partition for ubuntu, but yes you can install it on the same physical drive [04:36] omnydevi It does not even need to be on the same drive.. but yes.. it should be fine [04:37] hm ill give that a shot ill brb scunizi [04:37] i just want windows for cod4, i used crossover and cedega, just sadly...i am a gamer and this is the best way i can game and still get the linux i love so much :D [04:37] interesting, there's no command-line plug-in for nautilus and a quick google search shows that they don't really exist (think terminal+filemanager) [04:37] another question: where is the post install script located? [04:37] pangloss, how do i update to 8.10? [04:37] how do you stop the connected drives from showing on your desktop? [04:37] i might start my own project, but before i do that, does anyone know of one already existing? [04:37] RichiV: 8.10 might be an option for him if that will work better [04:37] !update | takumo [04:37] takumo: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:37] !contribute [04:37] To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [04:37] takumo: go to your update manager and do upgrade to 8.10 [04:38] takumo: I think the line is somewhere around install update -d [04:38] I'm upgrading to 9.04 [04:38] danno9 gconfig editor will let you do that [04:38] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, i tried ubuntu (well, kde) on sdb, winblows was on sda, i installed grub on sda, kept getting error 15. will try to install both on sda and see if i have more luck. just stinks cause vista takes like 90000000 hours to update [04:38] snowrichard: i do not suggest b/c of the bugs === D is now known as Guest91325 [04:38] I've already tried it [04:38] chuck_: thanks.. i'll try that. [04:38] this is in a virtual machine though [04:38] snowricard: but if your computer is fairly new, it might work better than most [04:38] danno9 To Remove Drive Icons from Desktop Use Terminal and type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visable.. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/hide-removable-drive-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ [04:39] just wondering if the update would get rid of my information [04:39] Jack_Sparrow: thanks === eus is now known as eusu_kefuin [04:39] np [04:40] yeah, thanks Jack_Sparrow, all input is always greatly appreciated :) [04:40] wow... just wow [04:40] jbmigel welcome to Ubuntu [04:41] Jack_Sparrow: d00d im sitting here on my couch, talking to you in irc, with ubuntu running on my ps3... plugged into a 42" tv... this has to be the coolest thing ive seen in a long time [04:41] Does anybody know why the Nvidia driver causes my lcd to overscan but the non proprietary one doesn't [04:42] jbmigel And you are just getting started with the fun stuff [04:42] jbmigel Do you have effects like wobbly windows etc? [04:42] Jack_Sparrow: heh I've been a user for a couple years, on my laptop... but this big screen stuff is blowing my mind! [04:43] jbmigel 64" here.. yea.. overwhelming [04:43] Jack_Sparrow I havent tried to turn on that crazy stuff, the ps3 runs a little slower than i hoped... but its totally worth it [04:43] omg are you serious!? thats awesome! [04:43] ooh, one more, is there just a plain GRUB installer, that has (somewhat) easy edit features, using either gedit or vi? [04:43] jbmigel, Jack_Sparrow Please take the OT to private channel thanks! [04:43] TIme to get some work done.. Play nice, I will be lurking if needed [04:43] that way i dont have to reinstall the OS everytime just to get to grub? [04:43] dang I only have a 19", having screen envy here! [04:44] omnydev I use nano [04:44] =) [04:44] appleiiguy: what is that mate? [04:44] just google it, i presume? [04:44] heh [04:44] I use Nano for text file editing in the terminal at least or Abiword for other stuff [04:44] pangloss sorry for praising ubuntu in an ubuntu channel... i guess i should goto offtopic lol! [04:44] i never heard of nano before :( [04:44] !editors [04:44] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [04:44] jbmigel, I am just paying back Jack_Sparrow for doing it to me before [04:45] pangloss Dont fault me for dong my job thanks [04:45] !code [04:45] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans [04:45] ahh, i see, thanks! but i was just wondering if there was a iso or something just for grub editing grub [04:45] nano is a clone of pico [04:45] chuck_: so with safe graphics mode, it shows splash screen with the progress bar before the main installer comes up.. but i'm guessing when it tries to switch to the main installer the screen basically looks scrambled.. and my tv drops the connection and puts up an unusable signal error. [04:45] omnydevi any live cd will work [04:46] if I have many (many thousand, no more than 500,000) files, will it make anything (other than directory listings) faster by putting them across multiple directories? [04:46] interms of overhead CPU usage is Fluxbox pretty good? Alternatives. Really looking for a light system. === Quendor is now known as Dagless [04:46] Jack_Sparrow: i have kde normal install for x64, and ubuntu, and the ubuntu alt install cd. I am still unsure of anyway to just get straight to grub. Unless you mean by booting into a live cd and mounting the volume and editing the grub......i just answered my own question huh? [04:46] fluxbox ftw [04:47] danno9 fluxbox is wicked and small... but maybe to light? why not try that mousey one [04:47] omnydevi yep [04:47] xfce [04:47] Jack_Sparrow: thanks mate, I greatly appreciate it. [04:47] Jack_Sparrow, you PMed me... I really dont see where you are going with this [04:47] any time [04:47] i owe ya :) [04:47] jbmigel: mousey...never heard of it. [04:48] Question: Where does cups-pdf save generated PDFs? [04:48] danno9 its xfce... based on gtk but with alot of the bulk cut out... [04:49] I'm a brand new user having a stuttering audio issue on a toshiba satellite L25-S121 using jaunty... can anyone help me? I'm going out of my mind. [04:49] Frem_: in ~/PDF [04:49] jbmigel: oh so a lighter version of Xfce...hmm, I will have to look into it. [04:49] scunizi, It's not there. [04:49] largeglassmug439 what kind of cable are you using to connect your comuter to your tv [04:49] computer [04:49] chuck_: svideo [04:50] Frem_: I've seen two different cups-pdf on my system.. or 2 different implementations of it.. one went into the directory mentioned and the other allows you to set the name and save location [04:51] Frem_: if your's is the latter then try to create the pdf again and look closer to the pdf print option box [04:51] scunizi, I've found the one that lets you select the directory. When printing from a flashpaper document, it's using the other one. [04:52] Frem_: /home//PDF and there's nothing there? [04:53] i know this isn't the channel for it, but since #oss is dead, anyone here use OSS 4.1 successfully with jaunty? [04:53] i want to ssh into my house, vpn into work (which works), then from the coffee shop, port forward through to work [04:53] can this be done simply with port forwarding, or do i need openvpn or sth to connect to home from wifi location [04:53] largeglassmug439 I am not sure and maybe someone can correct me but i do not think that will work for an install. [04:54] Hey, I installed ssh-server and tried to change ports in the conf file, however when I ran namp on the computer, it says its running in port 22 I set it for Port 1001 [04:54] slestak: most likely you will need openvpn, unless this is all on a open IP network [04:54] so to speak [04:54] scunizi, yes [04:54] andrewfree: did you restart the ssh-server? [04:55] andrewfree, did you restart ssh-server? [04:55] Yes [04:55] restart and reload [04:55] well, Jack_Sparrow, I went through that WifiDocs again, followed exactly (I've compiled plenty from source, etc), didn't work so it said to try compiling ndiswrapper from source and that fails. [04:55] why could youtube be making my browser crash? [04:55] screamsayonara: flash. [04:55] Frem_: weird.. I don't have an answer for that one. [04:55] andrewfree: and you changed the port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (not /etc/ssh/ssh_config) ? [04:55] h00k: how do i check if it is that? [04:56] scunizi, is there some random system-wide place it could be dumping these things? [04:56] cause im pretty sure i got the flash plugin for mozilla through synaptic.. [04:56] screamsayonara: check about:plugins and see which flash plugin you're using [04:56] omnydevi1: think there will be an issue stringing two vpn'stogether, openvpn from wifi loc to home, and cisco vpn from home to work? [04:56] screamsayonara: also, I've had better luck with the Adobe plugin rather than the libmozillaflash [04:56] new user having a stuttering audio issue on a toshiba satellite L25-S121 using jaunty... can anyone help me? I'm going out of my mind. [04:56] Frem_: you could "sudo updatedb" then "locate *.pdf" to find it.. [04:56] ok [04:56] slestak: most likely [04:57] PhotoJim: umm... [04:57] slestak: from what little i know of vpn's, you can only have really 1 at a time, from my understanding [04:57] scunizi, That is an excellent idea. [04:57] andrewfree: ssh_config is for outbound connections. sshd_config is for inbound, which is what you want. [04:57] PhotoJim: ohhh I see thanks I was like WTF [04:57] slestak: cause its merging networks pretty much, 3 would get a little crazy [04:58] andrewfree: computers are very much about WTF. :) [04:58] PhotoJim: ha XD [04:58] Hellooooo! [04:59] andrewfree: to help you remember, you use ssh to connect to other machines. but the ssh daemon that runs in the background, listening for inbound connections, is called sshd. (nearly all, if not all, Linux daemons are blahblahd... d on the end.) [04:59] a new mnemonic alt grrrrr print oK! [04:59] i deal a lot with esx and virtual center server, thus far we haven't had a need for multi-vpn....requirements. they might exist, but if they do, i never heard of it [05:00] Frem_: where did you find it? [05:01] scunizi, Well, I found every single PDF on my system, on all partitions. still sorting through it. [05:01] omnydevi1, you should be fine, as your packets will only be travelling on one VPN at a time [05:01] scunizi, Is there a way to restrict it to stuff created today [05:02] pangloss: you can have say...5 vpn's up at once? [05:02] Frem_: :) there is but I don't know how [05:02] pangloss: i just never bothered to try...no need really. it is interesting though. [05:02] omnydevi1, what do you mean? You would need 5 separate ethernet interfaces to have 5 vpns [05:02] scunizi, Ok, thanks. :-) My man skills obviously need honing. [05:02] i can see a lot of confusion and .... chaos though [05:03] yeah [05:03] pangloss: thanks, what i wanted to confirm :) [05:03] omnydevi1, the way you are describing is chaining vpns together [05:03] no vpn in a vpn [05:03] ipsec doesnt work that way =) [05:03] guys my memory card reader just stoped working on me, suggestions? [05:03] Frem_: grep? awk? something like that or a combo.. my skills there are lacking as well [05:04] Brando753: disk full? :P [05:04] Brando753: it died? [05:04] no i mean it wont read cards anymore, or recognize them anymore ;( [05:04] its not old its maby 3 months old [05:04] i doubt it just died [05:04] opening the applications menu has a one second delay (and any other menu for that matter) [05:05] Brando753, is it external to the computer or integrated? [05:05] this is driving me crazy [05:05] Brando753 have you tried it in a couple different machines? [05:05] intergrated [05:05] its the reader not the card [05:05] and its in a laptop [05:05] is there some way to remove the delay in opening menues? [05:05] I am upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty, and I got this message: "Cannot stat: No such file or directory, update-initramfs: failed" How do I fix this? [05:05] Brando753, blah, maybe the cord connecting it to the mobo is loose [05:05] scunizi, Yeah, I don't think it's actually dumping PDFs anywhere. I printed like 15 test pages, so they should have showed up in the locate result. [05:06] thearthur maybe you just have a slow machine... is 1 second really so bad [05:06] its exactly one second [05:06] Brando753: look in dmesg and see if you see any 'obvious' errors with the card reader (I used quotes because I dont own a card reader) [05:06] Frem_: look at it's setup in http://localhost:631 and see if there is something that doesn't look right. [05:06] jbmigel, quad core, 8 gigs of ram .... not slow [05:06] how do i find GTK settings for menues? [05:07] thearthur, maybe there is something wrong with your video driver [05:07] bc: now thats not a long list, no idea what im looking for ;( [05:07] Brando753: does it normally pick it up like a USB disk? e.g. sde1 or the like? [05:07] no idea "P === shadeslayer is now known as Guest91645 [05:08] Brando753: nothing else I can suggest other than reboot, and you've probably tried that [05:08] scunizi, It says all the test pages were printed, and shows the sizes and such [05:08] bc: three times to be exact :P [05:08] anyone here use bluefish? [05:08] thearthur goto SYSTEM>>PREFERENCES>>MAIN MENU and set the DELAY variable to >1sec [05:09] Brando753: dmesg | grep -i reader (or dmsg | grep -i disk (or dmesg | grep -i )) [05:09] whats the password for comman: newgrp fuse [05:09] Frem_: you could "locate *.pdf > foundpdf.txt" then import into a spreadsheet and sort by date [05:09] it asks for a password [05:10] Frem_: or .. locate *.pdf > ~/Desktop/foundpdf.txt [05:10] i know this isn't the channel for it, but since #oss is dead, anyone here use OSS 4.1 successfully with jaunty? [05:10] newgrp fuse asks for a password, what is it? [05:10] Guys, I'm ready to install Ubuntu 9.04 here, but I just noticed that I have only the Ubuntu Alternate 9.04 CD with me. Can I install it? Is the same Ubuntu after installed? [05:11] Silveira_Neto: it's the same [05:11] scunizi, Thanks. [05:11] Silveira_Neto, sometimes better, because you can encrypt your filesystem with the alternate CD =) [05:12] mmm [05:12] interesting [05:12] pangloss, I'll try that. Thank you very much. [05:12] Silveira_Neto, welcome [05:12] scunizi, Ah ha! [05:13] Question: is there any utility that lets you adjust screen size NOT resolution in Ubuntu [05:13] hey pangloss [05:13] Frem___: found them? [05:13] appleiiguy why dont you use your monitor settings for that? [05:13] scunizi, The following line is at the end of dmsg several times. [184722.123404] type=1503 audit(1242187006.261:26): operation="inode_create" requested_mask="a::" denied_mask="a::" fsuid=1000 name="/home/james/Desktop/Test_Page.pdf" pid=27021 profile="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" [05:13] its a LCD TV [05:13] cant [05:13] has anyone gotten skype to work reliablely under 64 bit jaunty? [05:13] no settings for it [05:13] Vissud: yes [05:14] shadeslayer, do tell [05:14] appleiiguy maybe there is a refresh for it to autoconfig... all lcd have something [05:14] i've tried every configuration I can think of [05:14] Vissud: in the sound settings change input,output to pulse [05:14] Frem___: not sure if that's useful or not.. doesn't look like there's an error there. [05:14] hi Vissud [05:14] when I use the opensource drivers it displays fine [05:14] Vissud: or use the OSS skype [05:14] but with Nvidia it doesnt [05:14] shadeslayer, in 64 bit? [05:14] need nvidia for XBMC [05:14] Vissud: yes [05:14] scunizi, It says denied_mask. Meh. I don't know. It's not at ~/Desktop/Test_Page.pdf [05:15] shadeslayer, when you use skype-oss you're doing the padsp before right? [05:15] Vissud: um... i open skype oss with padsp [05:16] shadeslayer, i tried that, but the mic input sound was horrible, unusable [05:16] go lakers [05:16] appleiiguy maybe a different resolution would change how much of the screen it fills? [05:16] Vissud: oh.. you mean you have very low volume?? same problem here..have to shout at it ;) [05:16] Frem___: ah.. missed that.. well, you're a little closer to the answer. perhaps restarting cups .. although that should have happened after installing the driver. [05:17] scunizi, Bingo! It's a bug. I changed the default printing location, and it wasn't updated in AppArmor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pdf/+bug/147551 [05:17] shadeslayer, no it's heavily distorted [05:17] and the "pulse" option doesn't work very well [05:17] so I tried OSS 4.1 [05:18] Frem___: tadaa.. does it mention how to fix it? [05:18] but it doesn't work with my external mic jack [05:18] Vissud: oh and btw i edited my .skype directory,the .cofig file..... havent tested it yet so can tell if itll work..... there was a option to boost mic input and mic volume there [05:18] Does anyone know of an application that lets you specify folders and data that you want to mirror across a network and then automatically sync with other machines across a network to share this information at the application level? (not filesystem level) [05:18] Vissud: does the soun recorder work? [05:19] *sound [05:19] shadeslayer, didn't try that.i get sound, it justy sound shorrible through padsp [05:19] Vissud: so maybe the mic is damaged,just ccheck through sound recorder [05:19] firefly2442: Depends upon the application [05:19] damn this keyboard!!! [05:20] anyone know how to get gedit autocompletion to work? [05:20] how do you see what X graphics driver you are using? [05:20] bluefish cannot do this [05:20] Circs: sorry, not quite sure what you mean [05:21] firefly2442: Didn't you ask how to share app data over the network? I [05:21] shadeslayer, no works fine in windows [05:22] Vissud: then maybe its a problem with either the config/drivers or its skype [05:22] Hey guys. I was wondering if it is possible to run a script automatically when I connect to a wireless network. [05:22] Circs: well, I want to make sure my files are mirrored across multiple machines but I want all the synchronization issues to be dealt with by the program, are there alternatives to things like rsync and others? [05:22] scunizi, It's fixed! :-) [05:22] Vissud: so....does sound recorder work?? if its horrible too then get the appropriate drivers [05:23] firefly2442: Oh, you're going deeper than my knowledge. I'm sorry [05:23] scunizi, I followed the instructions on that link and restarted apparmor, and it just printed. Thank you for you help. :-) [05:23] Circs: np, thanks for the time [05:25] Vissud: got to dash in 5 min, youll have to ask someone else [05:27] guys when will the vlc rc be made ready for linux [05:27] Amarok__: VLC is in the repo [05:27] !vlc | Amarok__ [05:27] Amarok__: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [05:28] Is there a free C++ or C compiler available for Linux? [05:28] GCC [05:28] i mean the newst rc for version 1.00 [05:28] steven_, gcc [05:28] !compile | steven_ [05:28] steven_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [05:28] gcc-4.3-locales? [05:28] Amarok__, you'd have to ask the VLC guys when the release candidate will be available [05:29] vlc is 1.0 now [05:29] ok thanks anyways guys [05:29] steven just install build-essentials and then use gcc at command line [05:29] steven_, install build-essential, it will install all the necessary pieces [05:29] install build-essential all by itself? Nothing else after? [05:29] steven_, yup [05:29] steven_, build-essential is a meta-package [05:30] Whatever that is :) [05:30] steven_, it is one name for a collection of packages [05:30] steven_: sort of a "dummy" package [05:30] steven_, it basically just depends on everything you need to compile things [05:30] steven_, it simplifies installing things like gcc [05:30] is the reason the livecd boot has almost a "scan-line" presentation because it is funning from a disc and it takers longer for windows to show? [05:30] ...................................................../j #bshellz [05:30] *running [05:30] is there a command to see /var/log/syslog while it's filled ? [05:31] maxagaz, tail -f /var/log/syslog [05:31] *takes [05:31] install build-essential does not work [05:31] wow, i screwed up that message [05:31] steven_, how about 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' [05:31] steven_, at prompt $ sudo apt-get install build-essential [05:32] cEwEk aZha [05:32] maxagaz, you can also just look at System>>Asdministration>> system log [05:32] build-essential is already the newest version [05:32] If so...where the hell is gcc lol [05:32] Hey how can i switch from gnome-netbook-remix edition to standard gnome, from a UNR installation? [05:32] steven_, run "gcc -v" without quotes, does that return anything? [05:32] Matt1360, thanks [05:32] maxagaz, no problem [05:33] One sec. I am removing all this stuff that it says that I can remove [05:34] I am upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty, and I got this message: "Cannot stat: No such file or directory, update-initramfs: failed" How do I fix this? [05:34] Hi all - Bittorrent keeps crashing my system. What should I do? [05:34] Returned a bunch of stuff [05:34] Matt1360, is it possible to add a grep to this ? [05:34] mrh, are you using transmission? [05:34] maxagaz, tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep -i "search term" [05:34] http://pastebin.com/m7c240b5b [05:35] firefly2442: I was, and switched to ktorrent, but, it has done it again [05:35] Matt1360, thanks [05:35] hello my keyboard stops working when inside of X server gnome, kde, xfce what should i do? [05:35] steven_, you have gcc installed. [05:35] fffffffffffff ATi suck [05:35] steven_, you haev gcc installed, now just $gcc filename [05:35] Yeah, looks that way [05:35] in virtualbox [05:35] mrh: does it give a specific error message? [05:35] no error messages [05:36] gcc: no input files [05:36] firefly2442: No, the system simply locks up all the way, even the clock [05:36] steven_ are you trying to compile something you've written? [05:36] steven_, what are you trying to compile.... [05:36] mrh: for any torrent? [05:36] firefly2442: yeah [05:36] Nothing. I want to open it and start coding [05:36] lol [05:36] can someone please take me through ATi driver installation? i can't work at this resolution, i'm not getting any work done [05:36] firefly2442: or it seems that way anyway, real hit and miss [05:36] then compile when I am done. It has been awhile, but isn't that how it is done? [05:37] I haven't coded C in 10 years [05:37] steven_, all you do is open gedit, code whatever you wan and then save the file [05:37] steven_, then, when you want to compile, $gcc filename [05:37] that lame huh? [05:38] steven_, and your output will be at a.out [05:38] Assuming your code is good, that is [05:38] steven_, to run your program after its compiled, at prompt $ ./a.out [05:38] hey guys, are there any install ISOs (hopefully of server) that use /dev/ttyS0 as a console for installing? i'd like to install to a headless box [05:38] is there a program that will let windows see a ext3 internal hdd without wanting to format it and lose all my data? [05:38] steven_, you can give your program a proper name using the -o switch to gcc [05:39] mrh: you could try uninstalling and reinstalling maybe? sudo apt-get --purge remove ktorrent (this purge will remove all configuration files too) [05:39] it has my cod4 install...thats a long download [05:39] Ookay... My turn... [05:39] omnydevi: yes, look to ext2ifs [05:39] firefly2442: I have considered it, however, I did just that for transmission, and . . . [05:39] hi guys. i was trying to compile an ubuntu kernel but when i invoked #make I got this this error scripts/kconfig/conf.o error [05:39] firefly2442: I guess it is one of its components [05:39] I have a board with onboard graphics, it's being pesky with performance. It's a GeForce 6100 chipset. I'm running the 180.41 drivers retrieved through envy. [05:39] anyone for some ATi driver help? it's not like i haven't googled it [05:40] and silent/oldconfig error 2 [05:40] Is there anything I can do to increase performance? I'm attempting to run "StepMania" at 640x480. [05:40] insta1: thanks mate, i just installed a winblows parition to play a game. other than that its all linux, just hate how windows handles anything outside of what they make/steal/monopolize [05:40] spencer: wish I could help [05:40] by deleting [05:40] I'm getting a consistent (almost seemingly capped) framerate of 5fps. [05:40] Alright. Thanks. Sorry for the super noob questions [05:40] ceWEk aZha [05:40] need help my brasero burning software says "it is not posible to write with the current plugins "what does this mean? [05:41] mrh: did you try removing the hidden files/folders that it uses for your account (then when it launches it will recreate them) [05:41] Matt1360, you dont have another video card lying around? even a crappy one will improve performance.. [05:41] Hello everyone. My laptop integrated cam is not working with skype. Am using Ubuntu 64 bit Jaunty. Any help please... [05:41] pangloss: No, unfortunately. [05:41] insta1: It provides Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 with full access to Linux Ext2 volumes. Know if that is the same for ext3? [05:41] firefly2442: hmmm, well, I used the CL command you suggested when I removed transmission [05:41] steven_, no problem, dont eb afraid to ask more questions [05:41] I seriously need help, my Nvidia driver has decided I can only get 640x480 resolution. Even when I edit xorg.conf adding a Modes section it ignores it. [05:41] ext2 IS ext3 [05:41] just with a journal [05:41] yeah [05:41] sweet [05:41] need help my brasero burning software says "it is not posible to write with the current plugins "what does this mean? [05:41] pangloss: I fail to see that this chipset should be running this poorly on a game requiring very limited resources. [05:42] thanks mate, sorry for spamming if I did [05:42] firefly2442: think I will check and see if those are gone [05:42] I still cannot mount a drive. I cannot look at what is on a DVD and it sucks [05:42] If I download a pre-comiled program, where do I put it, there is no 'program files directory' [05:42] *compiled [05:42] need help my brasero burning software says "it is not posible to write with the current plugins "what does this mean? [05:42] aurilliance: what's the extension? [05:42] mrh: well, there's a difference between the configuration files that the app stores in /etc/ (usually) and the files it stores for your account username (usually /home/username/.hiddenfolder ) or whatnot [05:42] Unable to mount location. No media in the drive. There is too something in it lol [05:42] aurilliance::: /usr/local/bin? [05:42] How do I fix this? [05:42] aurilliance::: /usr/bin [05:43] aurilliance, have you tried finding the .deb for the program? [05:43] Hello everyone. My laptop integrated cam is not working with skype. Am using Ubuntu 64 bit Jaunty. Any help please... [05:43] need help my brasero burning software says "it is not posible to write with the current plugins "what does this mean? [05:43] firefly2442: I see, I thought purge would take care of all those,I will look into this [05:43] arunreddy::: does it work with other cam software? cheese? [05:43] arunreddy: is it enabled in the BIOS? [05:43] insta1: there is none. I donwloaded scilab-5-1-1 in inside the folder /bin there is a (linux) executable [05:43] steven_, thats what it says when you put it in the cd drive? [05:43] firefly2442: thanks friend [05:43] i dont know [05:43] how to do it [05:43] mrh: np, good luck [05:43] arunreddy::: sudo apt-get install cheese [05:43] it worked fine with 8.10 32 bit last time [05:43] arunreddy::: see if it works in there [05:44] insta1: there is none. I downloaded scilab-5-1-1 in inside the folder /bin there is a (linux) executable [05:44] see you all later [05:44] aurilliance: heard you the first time champ :) [05:44] need help my brasero burning software says "it is not posible to write with the current plugins "what does this mean? [05:44] I click on Computer under placed and dbl-click on CD-RW/DVD+-RW Drive [05:44] insta1: srry lag :P [05:44] thanks i shall try it [05:44] aurilliance: what happens if you double-click the executable? [05:44] arunreddy::: ok, then type lspci or lsusb in the terminal and see if its recognized [05:44] insta1: It runs fine [05:44] *dusts hands* problem solved. [05:44] All I want to do is browse the files on my DVD and it will not let me lol [05:44] insta1: I just want somewhere to put it other than my desktop :P [05:44] so put it in your home folder [05:44] ah [05:45] lots of people have ~/bin/ [05:45] ok [05:45] need help my brasero burning software says "it is not posible to write with the current plugins "what does this mean? [05:45] no reason you can't have ~/bin/scilab/ [05:45] I'll use /bin then [05:45] insta1: thanks [05:45] superboy: no need to flood. If someone knows the answer, they will answer [05:45] bleh, not being able to use skype is going to drive me to windows at this rate [05:45] aurilliance, another place is /opt lots of things go in there [05:45] aurilliance: I think insta1 means /home/username/bin not /bin/ just to clarify :) [05:45] I click on Computer under placed and dbl-click on CD-RW/DVD+-RW Drive [05:46] aurilliance: don't put it in /bin of your root drive [05:46] firefly2442: Yeah, that's what I meant too :P lol [05:46] aurilliance: the ~/ (tilde) means your home directory [05:46] steven_, does your dvd work in another computer? [05:46] superboy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/322769 [05:46] firefly2442: thanks tho [05:46] Aye [05:46] billybigrigger: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. [05:46] superboy download k3b. It solved all my brasero problems ;) [05:46] Ubuntu is not letting me watch Transformers and drool over Megan Fox and that is just not cool. I need to fix this [05:47] men_this [05:47] steven_, download vlc [05:47] steven_: yeah, VLC should let you play DVDs [05:47] swiftarrow, his computer is not recognizing that there is a dvd in the drive [05:47] pangloss, oh thanks for clarification. [05:47] I also want to be able to browse my DVD like I would a folder and it is not letting me. I keep getting this no mounted and no media in drive crap [05:47] steven_, try cleaning your lense? do other dvds work? [05:48] billybigrigger : i dont find it when i run lspci [05:48] No [05:48] steven_: what happens when you try to mount it from the command line? [05:48] But some autoappear on the desktop [05:48] I dunno how to do that [05:48] why don't the open source ATi drivers work? [05:48] i don't get that.. higher than 1024 for an open source driver isn't unreasonable [05:49] <|freddy|> hello, my usb keyboard is not being detected....anyone know something about this? [05:49] Anyone have Nvidia drivers decide they can only have 640x480 resolution? [05:49] steven_: are you unmounting your DVDs before you eject and remove them? sometimes I have issues with that where it can't mount the new disk because I didn't properly unmount the previous one [05:49] steven_, then it's probably a drive problem. I'd start with cleaning the lense. You can usually buy lense cleaners (they are normal cds with brushes on them) from normal hardware stores [05:49] OpenSorce: yeah but with ATi, it's shit [05:49] Hi all. Is the Geforce2 Mx400 capable of wide screen resolutions. [05:49] I have to unmount dvds before I eject them? heh [05:49] I guess that could be it [05:49] Cuz it used to work lol [05:49] steven_: click Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [05:49] Yeah, I am there now [05:49] n writing mode for k3b do i put auto? [05:49] steven_: from there, 'sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/' [05:50] <|freddy|> hello, my usb keyboard is not being detected....anyone know something about this? [05:50] steven_, hope that's it. would be happy to be wrong here. [05:50] pastebin the results [05:50] steven_: yeah, just right click on the disc on your desktop and goto unmount, easy :) [05:50] superboy, yes [05:50] ok thanks [05:50] <|freddy|> all other USB stuff I stick in is detected [05:50] <|freddy|> but the keyboard is a no no [05:50] Typed it. It is taking awhile now [05:50] unknown device [05:50] o_O [05:50] |freddy|, does the kbd work with other computers? [05:50] <|freddy|> yup [05:51] pastebin the results of 'dmesg | tail -n20' [05:51] insta1: could it be /dev/cdrom0 or something? [05:51] |freddy|, does it work with other ubuntu versions? [05:51] firefly2442: perhaps, but i'm concerned that he said it took awhile [05:51] <|freddy|> i have no idea [05:51] I just usually eject [05:51] unknown device should fail immediately [05:51] <|freddy|> im testing the live cd [05:51] Why mount and unmount at all? [05:51] Windows does not seem to do that [05:51] steven_: ubuntu will usually unmount the CD behind the scenes when you press eject [05:52] windows does too, for that matter [05:52] it just complains less [05:52] |freddy| then I'm not sure. if it's some consolation, I've had some things not work in livecd, but work after install / update. [05:52] The CD does not always pop an icon up on the Desktop either [05:52] that varies widely [05:52] <|freddy|> oh well, lets see then [05:52] <|freddy|> :) [05:52] is there a technical difference between unmounting versus ejecting a device? [05:52] I cannot mount it. says no media in drive when there is [05:52] firefly2442: one has to happen before the other ... kinda like turning off your engine before removing your keys. [05:52] hi guys. i am trying to compile a kernel but with no luck.. [05:52] |freddy|, no garuntees tho... ;) [05:53] steven_, the idea behind unmounting is to ensure that all the buffers are written to the disk. [05:53] What does that mean? lol [05:53] dsnyders: and to send the message that the filesystem is going to disappear, so programs using it can be shut down cleanly before it's unmounted [05:53] steven_, it means that the computer is done with it, and doesnt need it anymore [05:53] how on earth do you set up samba to respect the guest access feature in gnome? [05:53] i regularly unmount my usb thumb drive before physically unplugging it -- am i wasting my time? [05:53] it just gives me errors [05:54] xiong, noooo keep unmounting [05:54] xiong: noooo [05:54] dang it pangloss [05:54] haha [05:54] hey can anyone help me with my kernel build. :) [05:54] xiong: usually it writes the data to the device before unmounting no? [05:54] yah, it seems wise enough and not excessive work on my part [05:55] Vlc doesn't want to seem to play my movie [05:55] grrr [05:55] xiong: I would just get nervous that it wouldn't write the data correctly or something [05:55] ga_bash, there are some pretty good tutorials online http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu [05:55] i can't figure how to unmount under windoz tho so i just pull it out -- i cross my fingers, i'm not writing to the drive under windoz, only reading to printer [05:55] xiong, typically there is a safely remove hardware icon in the try on win [05:55] steven_: wait ... [05:55] xiong, under windows there is an icon in the system tray. [05:56] steven_: have you installed libdvdcss? [05:56] In a fresh Jaunty install, the spelling dictionary in Openoffice is not working, any pointers? [05:56] pangloss, thanks but i am pretty much accomplished with the process as i have compiled a lot before but in ubuntu it pops up an error that i can figure out. [05:56] I just autoremoved a bunch of stuff after build-essential told me to [05:56] xiong, you are not wasting your time, notice that if you send a large file to the trash can and you try to unplug the device without unmounting, it will leave part of that file into the pen drive but it will be not visible, just an example [05:56] lemme check [05:56] steven_: dpkg --get-selections | grep libdvdcss [05:56] well i'm not going to worry about windoz [05:56] apt-get install errors, http://pastebin.com/m5e408665 [05:56] I got libdvdread4 [05:56] what's the fix for this? [05:56] that count? [05:56] steven_: are you trying to play an actual legit DVD? [05:57] fluvvell, go to Administration>> Language support [05:57] Yes [05:57] did that [05:57] Anyone know how to (successfully) get Artwiz fonts working in jaunty? I symlinked yes-bitmap to /etc/fonts/conf.d/ edited local.conf and fccache -fv [05:57] fluvvell, make sure english is checked off [05:58] pangloss: we're in New Zealand, and it is selected correctly.

[06:02] dsnyders: you're not alone apparently [06:02] yaris123456789, just use gftp and sync with your server [06:02] !medibuntu > steven_ [06:02] steven_, please see my private message [06:02] steven_: without the output from dmesg | tail i can't diagnose further [06:03] hey everyone, is it really worth going from a working 8.10 install to a new 9.04? isnt 8.10 suppported with updates 1 year longer then 9.04? [06:03] or is that 8.04 [06:03] thats supported 3 years? [06:03] it's 8.04 [06:03] binskipy2u, 8.04 is the lts release [06:03] pangloss: gftp? okay. i found SecPanel, however it doesn't let me browse through my webserver and open and edit files in sync [06:03] binskipy2u, its 8.04 [06:03] binskipy2u, 9.04 has a matrix screen saver B-) B-) [06:03] 9.04 is nice [06:03] yaris123456789: konqueror can do SFTP, I'm sure there are other clients out there too [06:03] No one has any info on Artwiz fonts in Ubuntu 9.04?

It does not even boot on a single sata drive, what could possibly be the problem? file system is clean but it can not mount the root partition [06:05] yaris123456789, it's pretty easy: install wine, double click the installer in ubuntu, cross fingers, and pray. If everythign is ok, it will install, and you can then open the program. [06:05] yaris123456789, i recommend the link too. [06:06] insta1, All I need is something that can do wide screen and play video files. I don't do any 3D gaming (especially on my 800MHz box) [06:06] swiftarrow: can i install even games like that? is it possible to run windows program from a mount ? [06:06] yaris123456789, even COD works in wine [06:07] yaris123456789, see the wine website. it has a list of programs and games that work. There is a way to run windows programs from the windows partition, search google. I found it once, but didn't try.

Yes it's normal, if it works. [06:09] I've installed many dictionaries into openoffice since version 1, and that experience ran close to ephemeral. [06:09] pangloss, yes. Very much so.

[07:12] CPUFreak91: So if you type in ps aux in your terminal, it is just Xorg, Tbird and Firefox that is eating up memory? [07:12] schiggy, how are you trying to disable it? [07:13] i don't think thats needed but i was hesitant to add the samba share to my /etc/fstab and it can't be reached [07:13] iamtechno: I was using top, but they only ate CPU, not memory [07:13] i've seen thing go wrong during boot when drives in fstab can't be reached [07:13] such as lvm [07:13] CPUFreak91: This may sound a little odd but what video card are you using? [07:13] so did I... [07:14] im having problem running google web toolkit on ubuntu 9.04 http://pastebin.com/d2e8813c [07:14] I prefer not to touch it :P [07:14] iamtechno: I'm not sure. I'm on a Dell Inspiron 1150, and it just now shut off from overheating thanks to all the CPU usage ;) [07:14] give me a sec [07:14] my mic hasn't been working since i used hardy. Its configured right, i am using front-mic, also tried alsa mixer, all mic boost are at full volume, using the right capture device. [07:14] -schiggy-, and? what prevents you from deleting it from that list? [07:15] CPUFreak91: I almost wonder if something is using CPU instead of GPU. Since it is a laptop, I assume it is using integrated video. [07:15] pangloss:thanks for that IPTraf package,think i finally found what i've been looking for all this time.. [07:15] not in the list -> it is only a checkbox wich is disabled but the programs will also start at the next reboot [07:15] nmvictor, welcome =) the detailed interface stats is pretty informative [07:16] iamtechno: what's the command that will list my video card info? lshw? [07:16] CPUFreak91: It almost sounds like possibly your computer is using software rendering instead of using your video card. [07:16] schiggy, what program is it? [07:16] CPUFreak91: glxinfo [07:16] vertix my dl of 9.04 is almost done [07:16] how about you [07:16] pangloss:yea,how about the phpmyadmin thingy,know anything about it? [07:16] skype, pidgin, nautilus [07:17] pulling over 600kB though [07:17] iamtechno: the vendor string is SGI [07:17] nautilus? why? [07:17] i don't know [07:17] nmvictor, not really, all I use is apache for my webserver, sorry === mrlolplx is now known as mrlolplx-off [07:17] thanks for all your help before guys sshfs was exactly what i was looking for [07:17] schiggy, why are you trying to disable nautilus? [07:17] What is the difference between "Mark for Removal" and "Mark for complete Removal" in Synaptic pkgm? [07:17] CPUFreak91: really??? How old is your laptop? [07:18] notdarkyet, :) [07:18] ManDay: complete removal removes the config files and other misc files as well. (Neither will remove the configurations/preferences you have set in your homedir) [07:18] ManDay config files prolly [07:18] pangloss:okee dokee [07:18] CPUFreak91: run this command glxinfo | grep OpenGL [07:18] ManDay, removes packages the program depends on as well [07:18] schiggy: there is a option "Automativally remember applications when logging out" in the sessions app [07:18] CPUFreak91: what does it output [07:18] ? [07:18] ah, whats the shortcut for marking a package as COMPLETE removal then? "Del" marks for removal [07:18] schiggy: is it checked ? [07:18] exit [07:19] no, it isn't checked === silver is now known as Guest35106 [07:19] iamtechno: I have no idea, but it can't be pre-2004 [07:19] vertix got to get back to work... but will check the iso file shortly [07:19] iamtechno: Tungsten Graphics === Pasbar_Team is now known as Pasbar_Team|AWAY [07:20] CPUFreak91: Just a second I got a hunch [07:20] iamtechno: OpenGL Renderer String: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 852GM/855GM [07:21] how do i enable 3d mode in inbuilt chess? it says no python opengl support...how do i install it? [07:21] schiggy: oh... [07:21] iamtechno: hehe, I think you're right. The OpenGL renderer string has x86 MMX and SSE2 in it [07:21] iamtechno: well I turned off the compiz special effects settings before the computer overheated and rebooted [07:22] iamtechno: and it's not slowing down any more with several apps open like it used to [07:22] iamtechno: still though, I'm interested in your hunch ;) [07:23] hi guys, i have installed vitrualbox to run *.vmdk file in it. But when i start virtual box i gives a error "VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).". Can anyone help??? [07:23] how do i install a 32bit java jdk ? trying to use gwt [07:24] indian_munnda: no knowledge, but quess is that you need vmbox host drivers [07:24] a windows software running in wine has frozen ...what to do ?

[07:25] orange-wedge, hey, bt looks quite allright, but the did not add the maximize title button, what a pity, otherwise looks like a reasonable client [07:25] simplexio: i even install generic modules [07:25] yaris123456789: Wine has problably frozen. I press Alt + F2 and type xkill and click on the windows app [07:25] to free things up [07:25] indian_munnda:yea id like to get you off that but could you please give more details aboout the error [07:25] what would be the easiest way to route all port 80 traffic of a network through a remote proxy? [07:26] nmvictor: yes dude why not wait a sec [07:26] CPUFreak91: thanks! [07:26] maaaan, they have 256 seeders! weow myau myau [07:26] !pastebin [07:26] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[07:28] iamtechno: glxinfo tells me that direct rendering is enabled [07:28] indian_munnda:ok dude,im on it [07:28] maaan, if this 9.04 does not weik as advertized, ima gonna release all those rootkits on you! grrr :) [07:29] 32 bit firefox on a 64 bit insta, how to anyone, please respond with link or if not possible [07:29] nmvictor: when i run virtual box i get this error [07:29] iamtechno: but you're right the drivers are probably messed up. I'll try to remedy those tomorrow. Thanks for your help! [07:29] mzuverink: why do you need 32-bit firefox? [07:29] iNutshell, can i tell iptables to forward all traffic width destination port 80 to be changed to port 3128 on my proxyserver? [07:29] CPUFreak91: yw. Its only a hunch. you might try installing Intel's drivers. [07:29] I have a laptop that's 1400x900 and I have connected it to an LCD monitor that is 1680x1050. I want to use the monitor at 1680x1050, but Ubuntu seems to insist on keeping it at 1162x864: even when I manage to set the resolution correctly with xrandr, it insists on keeping the screen that size (thus using only part of the monitor). [07:30] hey, anybody wants a truckload of rootkits, top kwality? [07:30] CPUFreak91: OOOOOOh almost forgot are you using UXA by chance? [07:30] This worked fine with 8.04 [07:30] iamtechno: alright. I'll start there and remember not to turn on anything OpenGL until I fix this ;) [07:30] iamtechno: UXA? [07:30] albech: maybe， the 80 port is on localhost ? [07:30] CPUFreak91, seems icedtea java is a slow slow monster, want to use sun java [07:30] albech: or to remote host [07:31] mzuverink: Weird. I used 64-bit Ubuntu and never had a problem with the default Java [07:31] mzuverink: tho I don't know what kind of java it was that I was using ;) [07:31] mzuverink: I presume you mean the java packages for development, right? === mrlolplx-off is now known as mrlolplx [07:32] how do i enable 3d mode in inbuilt chess? it says no python opengl support...how do i install it? [07:32] orange-wedge, hey, i am beginning to smell something different, thanx for your help, i owe ya [07:32] CPUFreak91, the packages of the standard repos [07:32] CPUFreak91: Its the newest acceleration arch from Intel. most if not all the rest have XAA, intel used to have EXA and now intel has UXA [07:32] chipgeri: start the package manager and search for python-opengl and see if it's installed [07:32] CPUFreak91, Ill figure it out later, was just looking for a how to [07:32] chipgeri: or start a terminal and type sudo apt-get install python-opengl [07:32] hi, i am trying to find out if a group of hard drives are sata 1 or sata 2 ... hdparm does not seem to do it (hear as i can tell). any way to do it?

I honsetly don't know [07:33] I'll check into it [07:33] thanks again :) [07:34] CPUFreak91: pull up your xorg.conf file and check it for the words XAA, EXA, or UXA. [07:34] iamtechno: grep reveals nothing for any of those :( [07:35] hi, does anyone can advace some advance caclulator with log and antilog etc [07:35] CPUFreak91:its installed...but when i open the game it quits automatically [07:35] nmvictor: it just gives this output yar * Usage: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv {start|stop|restart|status} [07:36] how can I have a kernel module load at boot? [07:36] CPUFreak91: Hmmm I'm just as stumped as you are. Best as I can say is try reinstalling your video drivers or switch to using the Intel propriatery drivers [07:36] indian_munnda: are you sure you typed that sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup ? [07:37] iamtechno: I'll go to hell for that, but oh well ;) [07:37] nmvictor: just a sec dude let me pastebin it [07:37] CPUFreak91: could you pastebin the output of ps aux [07:38] hey [07:38] listen up [07:38] nmvictor: see this dude http://paste.ubuntu.com/171312/ [07:38] atheros wifi card in a laptop. shitty terrible throughput. runs great on wired connection but all wireless has dropped packets and lags like a bitch. what do i do [07:38] iamtechno: one sec [07:38] I've got some trouble ... o boy fresh install of ubuntu [07:39] Livingroom: Please mind your language.

[07:43] i was wondering if someone could enlighten me on something [07:43] i am behind a proxy though and tried configuring it [07:43] tank-man: I need a speech to text...not text to speech [07:44] nelop: what happens when you type "sudo apt-get update"? [07:44] nelop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware [07:44] i get all the sources 404 Not Found [07:44] indian_munnda:after that,repeat sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [07:44] nelop: Follow the link above... [07:44] CPUFreak91: My be my hunch was wrong then because it seems IMHO tbird, firefox, and especially xorg are relatively in spec. [07:44] nmvictor: already installed dude [07:44] I am using a HP Pavilion dv5 laptop with an AMD 64 bits processor [07:44] arunreddy, Who is your cam manufacturer?

[07:45] ? [07:45] the thing is that apt-get doesn't work [07:46] indian_munnda:at the terminal [07:46] SrEstroncio:dont wonder if you should wonder,just wonder anyway whats the prob? [07:46] in ALL the sources it reads: [07:46] ohh [07:46] nelop: sorry did't saw proxy thing , do you need to log in to the proxy also ? [07:46] Right now I am using windows [07:46] but [07:46] I installed ubuntu 8.10 a while ago [07:46] and 9.04 recently [07:46] the thing is [07:46] hi room, how to create gfx boot theme? [07:46] my laptop makes a really scary beeping sound when running ubuntu [07:47] it's not coming from the speakers, it comes from inside the case [07:47] nmvictor: installing.....

Of course I am running a waaaaaayyyy faster machine [07:47] Hello all [07:48] SrEstroncio, open volume control [07:48] and TheNano, nope... i don't need to login to the proxy [07:48] How do I force an cd eject? [07:48] looks like transmission bt client is a high performance client. I am impressed [07:48] iamtechno: yeah, this is an old, single core 32-bit clunker [07:48] Hello all. I just upgraded my router's firmware to DD-WRT v24-sp2 (micro version). I'm having trouble getting it to forward port 80 correctly to my web server. I'm running apache2 on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit. It was running fine when I was using the stock Linksys firmware on the router. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. [07:48] bandwidth utilization is about 99% [07:48] SrEstroncio, select preferences and select check box pc beep [07:48] i tried to configure the proxy already in many different places [07:48] nelop: I googled it and found if you don't need to, then you tell apt in /etc/apt/apt.conf to use you proxy server [07:49] Could someone give me an idea of what's causing my laptop to make a scary beeping sound when running ubuntu? [07:49] Archelis: Wait, what? [07:49] my apt.conf is listing the proxy [07:49] KillGuta: press button on the cdrom. ;) [07:49] any suggestions for very bad performance of an atheros internal wifi card on a laptop? [07:49] uggggh, scary beeping sounds = no good! [07:49] Hello All! [07:49] but it's like apt-get and synaptic do NOT read apt.conf [07:49] indian_munnda: LOL, that doesn't work [07:49] Says something that he can't unmount [07:49] my apt.conf [07:49] reads [07:50] SrEstroncio, did u read my previous comments? [07:50] Yes [07:50] but [07:50] Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.kuins.net:8080"; [07:50] I am looking to make my Ubuntu desktop look really good...What a nice app for that? [07:50] and yet, both don't work [07:50] hey, how can I update my firefox 3.0.10 to the newest version? [07:50] and i need to add packages [07:50] Could explain what's happening to me? [07:50] nelop: if it is not working then maybe you could redirect your proxy by ntlmaps and use http://localhost:5865 as server in apt.conf [07:50] CPUFreak91: As far as specs my old machine was a little bit worse. I really didn't have much of a problem until I tried to run a game. I must point out that it was a desktop not a laptop. [07:50] or what's supposed to happen? [07:51] TheShahFactor, this is something new. i wish i had that app myself [07:51] SrEstroncio, what ver. u r using? [07:51] ok [07:51] version [07:51] hey, how can I update my firefox 3.0.10 to the newest version? [07:51] how do i use ntlmaps [07:51] indian_munnda:install both so you are sure you gave vboxdrv what it wants,i think the generic one is what it needs [07:52] KillGuta: then i have one more option, there is a small hole in cdrom front side put a pin in that and press it in. cdrom will come out. [07:52] Johnny_B_Good, i thought that IS the latest version. or they got a new one last week? [07:52] Johnny_B_Good, you should be able to push help button i think [07:52] nmvictor: generic was already installed i m installing others now [07:52] SrEstroncio, just open volume control then select mute the pc beep [07:52] indian_munnda: Wow, I never realised that little hole :O [07:52] vertix give me something man..I am bored looking at my non fancy-desktop [07:52] vertix, hmmm..ok...thank you anyway [07:52] KillGuta: lol [07:52] How can I enable DRI after it has been disabled? It has been disabled since there were a bug with Intel graphics but it seems as if the bug has been fixed in an older package then I haveb ut DRI is still disabled. [07:53] nelop: google , you can download the package in firefox and install it by dpkg then use it ant see what happens [07:53] ohhh yeap [07:53] let me try [07:53] Johnny_B_Good help -> check for updates [07:54] In which order the services are launched in Ubuntu ?

[07:58] whats version of virtual box do you have,im sorry my prepaid modem will be disconnecting us in a while [07:58] maxagaz: it's complicated. It depends on the filenames in /etc/rc5.d among other things. Want to tell us why you need to know this? [07:58] Oh man, I've looked everywhere... all I can find is "Add Linux to Vista Bootloader" and I want to do the opposite [07:59] strange, some ppl with mtorrent are downloading ubunto 9.04. Is there mtorrent for ubuntu? [07:59] nmvictor: 1.5.6_OSE [08:00] ok, here i go again [08:00] hey guys in firefox all the flash are grey boxes with gian play button in the middle...what gives??

[08:02] losher, if i could run the network serive before, at least i could have an access to the server from a remote computer [08:03] maxagaz: the easiest fix might be to chown /var/run/mysqld from /etc/rc.local. That always runs last. As for no network service, can you start it by hand? Does it say anything unusual when you do? [08:03] somebody? [08:03] proxy solution? [08:03] nothing?

I've got a small problem I'm trying to find a fix for. to connect to the internet, my laptop connects to a linksys WAP54G access point. This laptop is on pretty much 24/7 downloading. thing is, seemingly randomly, the wireless drops out. Ubuntu will say it is connected, but I cannot even ping the AP. I cannot refresh the connection etc. and the only way to get a connection back is to reboot. [08:07] Does anyone know of a way to automatically fix the connection without having to reboot? Perhaps a crontab entry as sudo that will do to the wireless card what happens during reboot? [08:07] maxagaz: what about the output on the console at boot time.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [08:08] losher, so you think i should add "/etc/init.d/networking restart" before exit 0 in /etc/rc.local ? [08:08] @hasan may be you have to install driver fro your hardware from toshiba guys site...just google out or check out thshiba site for dirver support in linux...you might get one [08:08] indian_munnda:and chuck_ is right,get the latest version,probably that obsolete versions doesnt have its proper configuration settings in jaunty [08:08] indian_munnda:download the .deb file from their website,forget that one in the Add/Remove, its too old === mib_s5fiwtmz is now known as ubuntuGuy [08:08] Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.kuins.net:8080"; [08:08] losher, i don't know, i didn't check it [08:09] maxagaz: it would be harmless to do so, but without knowing why it fails first time, there's no guarantee it will fix the problem [08:09] i searched for it but no suggestion [08:09] nmvictor: u mean to download virtual box version? [08:09] maxagaz: no harm in trying it though... [08:09] the other line is the same but with ftp [08:09] instead of http [08:09] @mib, can u help me? [08:09] and that is all [08:10]  nelop: so it's just one line? [08:10] two lines [08:10] one for http [08:10] the other for ftp [08:10] nothing else [08:10] indian_munnda:download the latest .deb file from their website(should be http://www.virtualbox.org ) forget that one in the Add/Remove, its too old [08:10] indian_munnda:yea,the latest version [08:11] Stueh, There is an automatic connect button for wireless in network manager [08:11] nmvictor: but i m on HARDY i haven't upgraded to jaunty [08:11] I'm playing some music but no sound [08:11] Johnny_B_Good, why did you suggest dloading ubuntu 9.05 i386 vs AMD? [08:12] HasanNoori that's how I listen to it [08:12]  nelop: well I asked to see them [08:12] anyone here successfully installed Unreal Tournament on Ubuntu 9.04? [08:12] how do i paste the whole file? [08:12] orange-wedge, why did you suggest dloading ubuntu 9.05 i386 vs AMD? [08:12] I'm trying to, but get: Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+6' for reading: No such file or directory [08:12] (although it's only two lines) [08:13]  nelop: if you think it will come out ok [08:13] (one for http, the other for ftp with the same address and same port) [08:13] RHorse, I'm using ubuntu 9.04 at toshiba satellite pro s300-ez2501, but no sound [08:13] Still looking for help on this issue. I just upgraded my router's firmware to DD-WRT v24-sp2 (micro version). I'm having trouble getting it to forward port 80 correctly to my web server. I'm running apache2 on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit. It was running fine when I was using the stock Linksys firmware on the router. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. Anyone have any ideas? I've played with all the DNSMasq settings I could, and I'm fresh o [08:14] nelson@mex-station:/etc/apt$ more apt.conf [08:14] Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.kuins.net:8080"; [08:14] Acquire::ftp::Proxy "ftp://proxy.kuins.net:8080"; [08:14] Bob_Dole: have ever installed half-life in ubuntu? [08:14] HasanNoori have you flung it against the floor a couple of times? [08:14] indian_munnda, Nope. Don't own halflife [08:14]  nelop: I'm not sure this is working I see some kind of a face in the text [08:14] indian_munnda: just get the latest version for your hardy,doesnt hurt to have the latest version of whatever package just like everyone else [08:14] Bob_Dole: ok [08:14] like emoticon? [08:15] Bob_Dole, hello, i voted for you in '94 [08:15] Bob Dole! [08:15] hey, i am using jaunty and scrolling in firefox is really slow [08:15] does anyone know how to fix that problem? [08:15] sorry your wife lost her seat [08:16] Yeah :( [08:16] nmvictor: i have started downloading vbox of jaunty version, will it work in hardy [08:16] !sound | HasanNoori [08:16] HasanNoori: 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 [08:16] vesayth: I suggest you downgrade your router [08:16] ishmandoo, what hardware do you have? [08:16] i voted for her a few months ago, now that i think about it [08:16] Bob_Dole: an integrated intel chip [08:16] Bob_Dole: do you want the exact chip? [08:16] ishmandoo, yeah [08:16] Bob_Dole, also, i enjoy your bananas and pineapples [08:17] HasanNoori: do u hear the login sound of ubuntu when you login in ubuntu? [08:17] !ot [08:17] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:17] Bob_Dole: intel corporation 82801G, thanks a lot by the way [08:17] Bob_Dole, how's the gimpy arm doing? [08:18] losher: I upgraded my firmware so that I could put a stop to the maximum bandwidth usage my roommates use for limewire [08:18] !players | vertix [08:18] vertix, please see my private message [08:18] Same as always. ishmandoo I get the impression support was dropped for that...but I'm trying to verify now [08:18] losher: Unfortunately, the linksys firmware does not allow me to do that without blocking it alltogether [08:18] Running 9.04 on a Thinkpad T60. Internal is fine, but when I try to use external (solo) or both displays, then it can't detect the ext display and max res is 1024x768 but ext is capable of 1600x1200. Suggestions? [08:19] Bob_Dole: is there any solution if support was dropped? [08:19] can i roll back the driver? [08:19] my life is over since I installed ubuntu [08:19] hi. the firewall filters the keywords, so i cannot go through it. any proxy software can go through it? or any help? thanks [08:19] indian_munnda:might,with a little "sysem patches",bit if their aint for hardy then i would recommend the one for intrepid,they are just 6 months apart unlike jaunty which is a year and two months ahead of hardy [08:19] There's a new accel method for the older intel chips, I think it's not as good as the original support, but better than default... but has/had bugs. [08:20] vesayth: sorry, but it doesn't sound like a Ubuntu problem. Try a different version of the firmware? Yours sounds broken. Port forwarding should just work, it's pretty damn basic [08:20] Morning, trying to get suspend working on Ubuntu 9.04 - shuts down fine and recovers when I press the power button - how can get wake from keyboard working? [08:20] losher: I'll try that. Do you know of any rooms that I can join for specific help with this stuff? [08:20] I found some topics but very old [08:21] nmvictor: i think then upgrading the system is a better option. I'll update my system tonight. :P [08:21] vesayth: google dd-wrt irc channel [08:21] When I change my desktop on a freshly installed Ubuntu (!)

[08:49] It'd be nice if I could get Unreal Tournament GoTY to install.. but the .run from loki gives "Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+6' for reading: No such file or directory" and the --keep option I saw doesn't help. [08:49] HasanNoori: check your hardware [08:50] Bob_Dole: sounds like a bad download [08:50] indian_munnda: ok, help me [08:50] i don't remember which version. it's a HD4850 [08:50] ziroday, That's 3 different downloads [08:50] please [08:50] ziroday: HasanNoori's soundcard is not showing up in PCI [08:50] 8.10 probably [08:50] from 2 different sources.

[08:51] techtonik: well feel free to create a bug, and a brainstorm idea and then link the bug to brainstorm [08:52] spencer: okay, go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [08:52] ziroday: can you help me? [08:52] spencer: and if you use a later version of ubuntu the open source drivers work great for that card [08:52] HasanNoori: nope, sorry [08:52] HasanNoori: give me the output of sudo cat /etc/asound/cards [08:52] ziroday: i don't know how to upgrade, also Hardware Drivers is no longer present in my list [08:52] ok [08:53] nmvictor, i downloaded a lniux game, what's the terminal command to install a package? [08:53] spencer: how about System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager? [08:53] no [08:53] painted: if its a package just double click [08:53] i'm sure they were there earlier.. [08:53] indian_munnda: cat: /etc/asound/cards: No such file or directory [08:53] spencer: okay, I recommend you either upgrade or reinstall [08:53] god damnit [08:54] last time i tried to reinstall i lost access to windows [08:54] spencer: well we can help you with that, after you reinstall [08:54] ziroday, i did but it opens it with a text editor = / [08:54] hah funny, they said that last time and i couldn't boot into an OS [08:54] spencer: or if you prefer you can upgrade, but that might be more likely to break [08:54] painted:im not a dedicated gamer,so obviously i dont get what you mean,but no prob.what the package,.tar achirve or a .deb or a .bin package?depends you know [08:54] painted: what game and what does it end in? [08:54] why is it likely to break? i thought ubuntu was supposed to be better and modular.. [08:55] HasanNoori: oh sory it is sudo cat /proc/asound/cards [08:55] the file's full name is supertux-0.1.3.x86.package [08:55] so what am i downloading? [08:55] spencer: because do an entire system upgrade is extremely hard to test and can lead to bad results [08:55] spencer: everybodies setup is different [08:55] 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel [08:55] 9.04? [08:55] HDA Intel at 0x92100000 irq 22 [08:55] spencer: yes, that is the latest version [08:56] i understand that but i never had issues on Windows doing a service pack update [08:56] i'm being unfair.. i just expected Linux to be so much cleaner [08:56] spencer: this isn't a service pack upgrade, this is like going from XP to Vista to Windows 7 [08:56] spencer: you have already been through to "service packs" on your current system [08:57] s/to/two [08:57] oh right, cool [08:57] can i install from memory stick again? i don't have a blank CD? [08:58] Hi, anyone know of an app that can take my extremely messy ~/Music dir and organize it into a nice new music dir, deleting duplicate songs, fixing tags and adding artwork?

[08:58] no CDs i'm afraid, i know my way around BIOS [08:59] ziroday: It won't orginize it but removes duplicates I think is called lint [08:59] painted: ~/Desktop [08:59] HasanNoori: try all commands which have been used there [08:59] sacarlson: thanks, I'll look into it :) [08:59] HasanNoori: Are u on toshiba laptop? [08:59] yes [09:00] sacarlson: hmm, there is no package called lint, did you mean fslint? [09:00] ziroday:maybe rhythmbox,exail music player or gmusicbrowser [09:00] ziroday: do i just destroy this partition? or can i write over it easily? [09:00] i'm on toshibasatilte pro s300-ez2501 [09:00] nmvictor: none of those have to option to delete duplicate music files [09:00] spencer: you can write over it easily [09:00] indian_munnda: Thanks for all [09:00] Hi [09:00] Only games I really play are Tremulous(in the repos already), Vendetta Online(has a nifty .sh file to install, doesn't need root, but also doesn't install "normally." I added it to my application's menu manually.) And games that run well under WINE, excluding UT:GoTY for some reason.. it's a DirextX...6-8(can't remember which for some reason) game, yet it doesn't "just work" like my other games. This -isn't- ubuntu's fault, but [09:00] WINE's I'd imagine.... if I can figure out what's going on with this installer for UT:GoTY I'll be all set.(and Unreal Tournament has issues on windows, too, with a default install if you have the ability to run more than 1 thread at a time. such as dual-core cpu's or hyperthreaded cpu's)..But overall, Gaming on Linux without windows isn't too difficult. Whoa, I think this is going to be absurdly long...sorry D: [09:00] HasanNoori: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/how-i-fixed-sound-on-my-toshiba-alc268-567376/ [09:01] i need support for driver install in ubuntu? [09:01] HasanNoori: check this. It the same as your problm is [09:01] HasanNoori: me gtg [09:01] bye [09:01] thanks bye [09:02] that was even longer than I thought it was going to be. f$*k. [09:02] hi all folks. [09:02] Spremi: Hi!, how can we help you today? [09:02] supertux-0.1.3.x86.package is the name of the file and it's on the desktop but sudo aptitude install ~/Desktop/supertux-0.1.3.x86.package returns "couldn't find any package whose name or description matched" [09:03] hi ziro, I'm seeking help on a feature of the "diff" shell command [09:03] painted: that is not a debian package [09:03] Spremi: sure, what confusing you? [09:03] painted: sudo apt-get install supertux [09:04] ziroday: well I've to diff a bunch of HTML/PHP source file to track the changes. I want to ignore the whitespace, but the -w options doesn't really do the trick [09:04] painted: why not install supertux from the repo's? [09:04] painted: use the one from the repos [09:04] sudo apt-get purge supertux [09:04] ziroday, but it's downloading it again... [09:04] .... [09:04] why should I get it from the repos when I already have the latest version? [09:04] http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ 404 !?? [09:04] !latest | painted [09:04] if you're looking for some mario business grab an emulator or super maryo chronicles from getdeb [09:04] painted: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [09:04] Klicking User Switcher applet > Suspend /var/log/pm-suspend.log: "success; performing suspend." After pressing the Power button of the laptop computer hard disk and fan start but the display remains dark. It is recommended to unload on trial some modules before Suspend. But with which should I start? There are 57 loaded. My video driver is radeon_drv.so. [09:04] painted: because you always have to use the paketmanager for a clean and safe system [09:04] painted: because installing from the repo's is easier, safer and better in the long run [09:04] mmu_man: is SSE your game? [09:05] hmm ah no not this one [09:05] Ademan: ? [09:05] I'm running jaunty, and have been running it since the beta...because I couldn't get 8.04 to boot. I Have a Radeon HD 3850, is it normal for the graphical live-cd to hardfreeze the moment X tries to display something?..and then the alternate install to do the same after being installed? [09:05] bullgard4: wireless and video? [09:05] ziroday: in particular, a line like

Hello

is seen different from

[CR]Hello[CR]

where CR is a Carriage Return, any suggestion how to treat these two texts like equivalent with diff? Thanks in advance. [09:05] Bob_Dole: the 3850 might be a bit new for hardy [09:05] mmu_man: nvm I thought mmu was a reference to the SIMD multimedia instruction sets (including SSE) [09:06] 8.10 did the same thing, actually. [09:06] Spremi: sorry, I don't I really don't use diff that heavily and when I do I use it with meld [09:06] gotcha... what's the difference between aptitude and apt-get [09:06] Err http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates/main php5-cli 5.2.3-1ubuntu6.5 404 Not Found [09:06] mmu= Memory Management Unit, from all I've ever known. [09:06] painted: they maintain packages differently, they are interchangable and you can use whichever one you prefer [09:06] indeed [09:06] ziroday: There is no 'wireless'. But I will give 'video' a try. [09:06] mmu_man: gutsy is EOL [09:06] bullgard4: this is a desktop? [09:06] ok no prob ziroday :) [09:07] ziroday: No. A laptop computer. [09:07] bullgard4: it has a wireless card, no? [09:07] gtg guys,life's calling.bye to all we've chatted with.thanks to all who've helped and anytime for those i've assisted in anyway. === DaZ| is now known as DaZ [09:07] ziroday: It does not have a wireless card nor controller. [09:07] bullgard4: ah right === zaph is now known as zaph_ [09:09] Bob_Dole: yeah, I'm silly late at night... all of the SSE functions are prefixed with _mm though, my brain removed the u and made a connection, rather than the obvious one lol [09:09] * Bob_Dole goes to see if the netami project has any new news on their "modern" Amiga. which lacks an MMU === zaph_ is now known as zaph- [09:10] I want to mount my hibernated Windows drive. When I try "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o ro" it says "fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/disk: No such file or directory" [09:10] ross: ls /media is disk in there? === zaph- is now known as zaph === mrlolplx-off is now known as mrlolplx [09:11] rossnixon: ^^ [09:11] rossnixon: do sudo mkdir /media/disk ; sudo chown : /media/disk [09:11] How do I install the standard manual pages for the GNU C Library? [09:12] My c: drive does not appear in /mount, but it is mounted automatically if I shut windows down before booting up in Ubuntu. [09:12] It is package glibc-doc? [09:12] rossnixon: I think you must create the mount directory first [09:12] ziroday: why would he chown it? [09:12] Ademan: because otherwise it belongs to root and he can't read it [09:12] can't *read* it or can't write it? [09:12] Ademan: both [09:12] eh? [09:13] Ademan: if I create a dir as root, I can't read or write to it as me [09:13] ziroday: you should be able to read it, unless your mask is wierd... [09:13] Ademan: sorry, read not write :) [09:14] no problem, I was just wondering if there was something at play I didn't know/understand, maybe specific to mount points [09:14] I rarely if ever mount things by hand... [09:15] I'm having trouble connecting to a WPA2-PSK network using wpa_supplicant and the rt61pci driver, although networkmanager seems to work flawlessly. When I connect using wpa_supplicant "ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: No such file or directory" seems to disrupt it and it reconnects and so on and so on. Don't suppose anyone has ideas on this? [09:16] Thanks heaps ziroday!!! I have mounted it with your help. [09:16] rossnixon: great to hear [09:17] bye folks [09:17] on any page, flash movies are replaced with a huge play button. what may cause this? [09:17] so i'm adding a bunch of usb drives (like, 12 of them) to a system. all are ext3. what are appropriate options in fstab? [09:17] hello, anyone has experience with MailScanner? [09:17] Ziroday, now I want to put the two commands into a script. Do I need a certain file type? Sorry for newbie talk. [09:18] I am getting the following error "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'httpConnectionEncrypt failed'" can anyone help? [09:18] Kartagis: flashplugin is installed properly? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [09:18] rossnixon: not at all, are you trying to have this file mounted at boot? [09:18] brodsta, yes [09:18] rossnixon: no, you just open a file and put them in there, save it (.sh if you want it to be easily identifiable as a shell script) chmod a+x whateveryourfileis [09:18] the extensions in linux basically don't matter [09:19] hi.. having trouble with #make in /usr/src. kernel build.. [09:19] Ideally the script would run automatically if my c: drive was hibernated. [09:19] amanda-b: well it depends on what you want, doing there UUID then filesystem then options then 0 0 is usually the best way to go [09:19] rossnixon: oh right, and at the top you will need #!/bin/bash [09:19] rossnixon: well you can add the force option to fstab and it will always mount the drive [09:19] rossnixon: but mounting the ntfs partition whilst hibernated is dangerous [09:19] yeah if you always want it to be mounted you want /etc/fstab [09:20] ziroday i'm not doing uuid, actually, i'm doing /dev/disk/by-label. uuid is too big a pita for that many drives. :-) [09:20] hi .. My cpu usage is hovering around 80% at most times.i use 8.10..any ways to reduce it? [09:20] Only as read-only of course - hence the "ro" [09:20] make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'. Stop. [09:20] peerless: what's taking up all of the cpu? [09:20] anyone [09:20] amanda-b: understandable, feel free to pastebin what you have so we can have a quick glance over it [09:20] ga_bash: have you run the kernel configuration utility? [09:21] amanda-b: and out of curiosity, what are you doing with twelve usb drives? [09:21] Ademan: x mostly.. and firefox at times [09:21] she's a klepto :-p [09:21] Ademan, i copied the config file to /usr/src from /boot/config...xyxyz [09:21] Ademan, the file i renamed to .config [09:21] rossnixon: right, then probably easiest just to add the force option in your fstab file [09:21] ga_bash: are you following a tutorial or anything? [09:21] rossnixon: and that way the drive will always be mounted [09:21] Ademan, no.. [09:22] Ademan, i just want to know what the error signifies. [09:22] rossnixon: or even better if there are errors it can remount it ro otherwise, rw [09:22] ga_bash: I've never built my own kernel, but I recommend running the config utility since it may touch other files [09:22] ga_bash: building your own kernel is not supported here [09:22] ga_bash: its missing that file include/config/auto.conf that's all it means [09:22] (and a really bad idea) [09:22] ziroday: well technically it's a gnu make question :-p [09:22] Ademan, to reduce the problem of configuration i took the configuration file from /boot/ which is a working kernel. [09:22] ziroday, mostly a huge media collection, live recordings of my fav band. sizes vary based on when i bought the drives, 250 300 500 750 1t [09:22] OK thanks, will google command syntax - hopefully it will mount as read-write if not hibernated, and *only* mount readonly if hibernated. [09:23] ziroday, its ubuntu kernel. [09:23] ziroday, i am having trouble with ubuntu. [09:23] peerless: hrm, high X usage means something is doing alot of drawing.... have you tried logging out then back in? also are you using an intel graphics card? [09:23] amanda-b: great, whilst UUID's are a good way to go "just in case" /dev's are just fine too [09:24] ga_bash: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile and its still not supported [09:24] weeeheeeeeee [09:24] ziroday, all right i would see that [09:24] ziroday, i learned the hard way that eg /dev/sdh1 can change between boots depending on the usb subsystem, ergo, why i went with drive labels [09:24] rossnixon: feel free to pastebin your new fstab too, and we'll glance over it [09:24] Ademan: No i dont have a separate graphics card.. Log outs didnt help === mrlolplx is now known as mrlolplx-off [09:25] amanda-b: personally I still prefer UUID's and they're really easy to see with a quick blkid [09:25] uuids, however, are impossible to remember. [09:25] Ademan: Gui apps like firefox vlc takes more of cpu often [09:25] hello [09:25] sauvin: I would hope you don't go around remembering uuids :-p [09:25] i've problem :( [09:26] ziroday but i can't remember them :-) i also have the drives physically labeled, so when one goes south on me, i know which physical unit it is :-) when 300a took a shit ... i knew which box to yank. [09:26] Ademan, nope, but, lemme see... 17492738442714997497291687453, was that the library disk or the binaries disk...? [09:26] how to download file from rapidshare in ubuntu ? [09:26] bingungaja: just click on the link? [09:26] sauvin: that's why fstab has comments :-) [09:26] amanda-b: makes sense :), and watch the language please [09:26] It's also why I tend to mount by label :D [09:26] peerless: are you on jaunty? and if you don't have a separate graphics card, doesn't that mean you have an intel graphics chip? [09:26] i downloaded ubuntu, and at the end it is corrupted file , 4GB :( [09:27] okay my fstab at http://pastebin.com/m1c9d8f23 [09:27] ziroday: no, using rapidshare-dl or other download manager, seems it will only downloaded the html file [09:27] jamelon: use torrents! [09:27] link please? [09:27] jamelon: you're using the dvd i assume? [09:27] amanda-b: looks fine to me [09:27] yes [09:27] 4gb is a bit large for a cd ;-) [09:27] @bingungaja download managers not compatible with RS etc [09:27] :( [09:27] ubuntu i386 desktop? (or alternate?) [09:28] hello guys. need help - i need to get basic understanding of what the mail spool is , how it works. what online stuff u reccomend reading? i tried with google last 30mins but looks i ask wrong questions. help please [09:28] yes i386 [09:28] ziroday, my concern now is that, at boot, the usb subsystem will not be running and drive scans have settled, and so mounting fstab will cause the boot to hang. [09:28] downloaded this ubuntu-9.04-dvd-i386.iso [09:28] do we even have ppc anymore? I remember ppc was no longer officially supported but someone was still maintaining it... [09:28] ademan, i use DVDs for ISOs, just because they write and read faster than CDs [09:28] but that was a few releases ago [09:28] !ati [09:28] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:28] well ademan, PS3's still use PPCs [09:29] amanda-b: it shouldn't do, if fstab can't mount something it should just continue on its merry way with the rest [09:29] Ademan: I am with Intrepid .. I dont have a separate graphics card..but guess my intel mother board has an integrated graphics chip [09:29] GnosticAscension: i've been googling and found one console download manager called rapidshare-dl, others seems successfull using that, but not me [09:29] or anyone can tell me what's free download manager in windows works in wine ? [09:29] bingungaja: hm, thanks for *that* info :P [09:29] ziroday, would it be better, given my concern, to set all the external drives to noauto, and then mount them at the end of the boot process, through eg an S99mountallthedrives script? [09:29] chao cac pac [09:30] peerless: ah, alright, hrm, because I know intel graphics chips have been having issues with jaunty.... [09:30] Ademan: I heard Intel stuff was slower on jaunty [09:30] that true? [09:30] amanda-b: AFAICT if fstab can't mount something it just moves on, but that can't hurt [09:30] GnosticAscension: for some chipsets, yes [09:30] i downloaded this ubuntu-9.04-dvd-i386.iso [09:30] ziroday, even if the boot doesn't fail, if the drives aren't mounted because the usb subsystem isn't ready when it tries to mount them, it still defeats the purpose, which is to have the drives mounted and shared when the system comes up [09:30] * jamelon waiting :( [09:30] during the upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 I get a warning saying that there is no fglrx suport for may ati card. Can I ignore this and just install the drivers? [09:31] jamelon: yeah, hold on [09:31] amanda-b: fstab should mount the drives after the usb subsystem comes up [09:31] sorry :D [09:31] jamelon: no problem, I just don't normally download the dvd [09:31] what's different between dvd and cd? i think dvd have alot of software, right? [09:31] GnosticAscension: yeah there's a PPA with newer kernels with supposedly better intel drivers though, so the problems being solved, but right now, yeah, some intel chipsets are slower, like apparently horribly slower [09:32] jamelon: I would assume, but like I said I don't use it :-p [09:32] i suppose now is the time to test it ... how do i turn off kdm at boot? [09:32] i just want a prompt on this box [09:32] jamelon: there is a solution on this page [ http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=143658 ] [09:32] it says [09:32] jamelon : "I got a corrupt ubuntu .iso and fixed it thusly: Get a torrent for the same .iso and point it's download dir to where you have your incomplete one (I used utorrent), it will go through the whole file and work out what it still needs to download, just let it do it's thing and you should have the full uncoorrupted .iso." [09:33] (this is what the site says) [09:33] dunno whether it works, but worth a try i think [09:33] O_o where the heck are the dvd torrents?! [09:35] thanks GnosticAscension === zoomosis is now known as ozzmosis [09:36] jamelon: did GnosticAscension take care of you? otherwise http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/release/ubuntu-9.04-dvd-i386.iso.torrent does that look right? [09:37] for some reason it wasn't in the main releases.ubuntu.com anywhere I saw... [09:37] jamelon: here's the full list of options I found: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/release/ [09:37] what is the checksum of ubuntu 9.04 32-bit? [09:37] thanks Ademan [09:38] I mean iso image [09:38] farciarz84: it's in MD5SUM at releases.ubuntu.com [09:38] farciarz84, question for me? [09:38] how well are usb wireless cards supported by ubuntu 9.04 [09:38] farciarz84: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/MD5SUMS [09:38] tnx [09:38] MD5SUMS not MD5SUM apparently [09:38] no problem [09:39] i checked MD5SUM and it is totally different with my iso [09:39] NativeAngels: it all depends on which one [09:39] jamelon: :-/ lol [09:39] and sure enough, boot failed, CTRL-D to continue or root password. something's gorked. exactly what i wanted to avoid. good thing i'm here to fix it. :-( [09:39] its an old wanado one [09:39] cohiba [09:39] amanda-b: I don't mean to be "that gross geek" but its pretty awesome you're into this kinda stuff and capable to boot... [09:40] !wifi [09:40] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [09:40] if i have the windows drivers can i use them in ubuntu ? [09:40] #ubuntu.fr [09:40] NativeAngels: maybe with ndiswrapper === nyc is now known as nycerine [09:40] ademan: uh? [09:41] I'm disgusted. Yahoo sent me an e-mail telling me to "upgrade" to Internet Exploder 8. [09:41] amanda-b: disregard that hah [09:41] NativeAngels: it may not be necessary depending on whether there's a native driver [09:41] ademan: only reason i'm hear asking for help was because i couldn't get debian squeeze to boot properly on my mac mini. the ubuntu installer can handle efi, but the debian installer can't yet. why escapes me. [09:42] <-- debian girl all the way [09:42] whats the "get deps" command for apt-get ? [09:43] amanda-b: you can always drop into a terminal in the middle of the debian installer though, unless there's a new non-ncurses one lately [09:43] is there any repositories for emacs on hardy ? [09:43] ademan: and do what tho? (and yes, there is a gnome installer) [09:43] Bob_Dole: just change your user agent to look like E8 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 [09:43] maxagaz: what do you mean repositories? what do you need that's not in an official package? [09:44] Ademan, tramp in emcas doesn't work in hardy, but works in jaunty [09:44] amanda-b: efi-install /dev/hda1 ? I don't know squat about efi, but I'm sure refit provides some relevant tools [09:44] Ademan, but i have to use hardy at work [09:44] maxagaz: and you have root access? nifty [09:45] ademan: wasn't available on a business card install. :-) [09:45] Ademan, yes i do [09:46] hey i installed jaunty in my toshiba laptop bluetooth worked at first now its not working can anyone helpme [09:46] maxagaz: you can do the horrible thing I've done and add the jaunty repos, update, install new package(s), remove repos, update. although I would never do that on my work computer... it took alot of courage to do it at home... i just wanted python2.6 that badly :-) [09:46] im trying to set up ubuntu in my house, the first computer .. ubuntu doesnt see the linksys wifi card .. its a wmp54g pci card.. any ideas?? i cant change the other 6 computers till i figure this out first.. [09:47] whats the 'fix dependencies' command for apt-get ? === d^-^b[zzz] is now known as d^-^b [09:48] hi [09:48] CaptainMorgan: have you checked the man page? [09:48] can i install DHCP server on ubuntu desktop [09:49] Ademan, why whould I? [09:49] would someone consider pointing me or compiling a version of ubuntu that has EFI enabled for boot? [09:49] pointing me too a download* [09:49] has anyone else gotten a bad KVM apt update? [09:49] CaptainMorgan: because the man pages are great resources so that you can operate more independently? [09:50] Ademan, and you don't think I already know that? [09:50] i just want to get these computers running on ubuntu so i can get rid of windows all together [09:50] what's the best version of Linux? Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, or? O_o [09:50] jamelon : ubuntu's the most forgiving [09:51] y? [09:51] jamelon : ubuntu's a debian derivative, fedora's more 4 biz [09:51] it is.. it just doesnt see linksys wifi cards but everything else works great [09:51] bsd is a bit hard-core security [09:52] Ademan, i have another solution... but hard to do... install a thin client server on jaunty, i boot my computer on it [09:52] Hello everyone. Is it possible to open .mdi files under linux? Is there some utility that can convert this .mdi files in something less exclusive? [09:52] I have a ridiculous question: How do I stop backspace from deleting characters in openoffice word processor? [09:52] i see [09:52] CaptainMorgan: considering the third option listed in the OPTIONS section in the man page is what you want and could have been found by searching for either dependency or dependencies, apparently not... [09:52] hi, is there an easy way to migrate from desktop to server? [09:52] Ademan, I don't want to check any man pages. Thanks. [09:53] jamelon : but most of 'em have live boot disks, so you can "try before you buy" on most of em [09:53] is there a good program like poweriso for linux out there? [09:53] dyess002 ??? [09:53] maxagaz: if you're comfortable using emacs from the command line you could just ssh home, and that would be very fast, or use X11 over ssh and use the emacs gui, which would likely be fairly slow [09:53] ? [09:53] Ademan, maybe there is someone else you intend to win over with the checking of man pages? [09:53] AnnonyMouse, quite a lot of questions today. [09:53] what is the package for linksys wireless cards [09:53] dyess002, google is fyour friend! http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html [09:54] matitaccia : any regarding a bad KVM patch? [09:54] thanks [09:54] @AnnonyMouse, to buy? [09:54] AnnonyMouse, no, no... [09:54] Ademan, and I wouldn't even know where to begin, since I don't know which man pages you are pointing to. [09:55] THE_MAC, I believe it depends on the wifi chip that is bundle with the wireless card [09:55] dyess002 : u can look as dd & loop mount for built-in tools [09:55] i have tried google, but sometime i just can't think of what to say in the search [09:55] dyess002, Brasero [09:55] ok then what wireless cards work with ubuntu then ? [09:56] CaptainMorgan: *that* is ok, the reason why I asked in the first place is because the man pages really are your friends [09:56] AnnonyMouse, do you have any idea how to convert .mdi files in something more accessible? [09:56] CaptainMorgan: man is the general form, so in this case man apt-get [09:56] jamelon, matitaccia : I broke my KVM (Kernel VM) on my Hardy-64 when I applies the "critical update", & now I'm a bit screwed [09:56] THE_MAC, ehm, again, it depends on the model and the chip that is bundle with the wireless card. popular chips like athereos or intel work pretty well [09:56] Ademan, that's great. And I know they are -- again, why would I check them? Why are you intent on showing me man pages of whatever command you think I should look up? [09:56] Use FreeBSD. [09:56] CaptainMorgan: you can search by hitting / and typing your search and hitting enter, n and N go back and forth through the results [09:56] http://www.freebsd.org/ [09:57] Ademan, STOP -- WHY are you insisting I need man pages? [09:57] Because; you're a novice CaptainMorgan perhaps ? [09:57] ok so i have a wmp54g wirless card from linksys.... hw do i tell if this will work ?? [09:57] phased, uhm... no. [09:57] matitaccia : many, many options. if you're looking for 1:1 replacements for apps, look at osalt.com [09:57] Brasero, is it in the synaptic? [09:57] CaptainMorgan: because knowing how to use them will serve you well... [09:57] phased, Ademan contacted me FIRST. I said nothing. [09:57] CaptainMorgan, I agree with Ademan [09:58] Hello, should I download amd64 ISO file for inter 64bit cpu? [09:58] acalvo, and I don't agree? I beg differ -- I use them extensively. [09:58] CaptainMorgan : man is the be-all & end-all. also look @ info, apropos, & whatis [09:58] can't find it, maybe i am looking wrong [09:58] AnnonyMouse, why am I getting this attention? Flannel you around? [09:58] CaptainMorgan : hencce the term "RTFM" [09:58] AnnonyMouse, no, I just would like to open the file, and read the presentation. I don't know why this professor used that crappy file format instead of the normal .ppt [09:58] AnnonyMouse, RTFM yourself [09:58] THE_MAC, I know it works [09:59] hehehe [09:59] Hello, How does the 2200/2916 intel card work with Ubuntu? [09:59] CaptainMorgan: you're being overly hostile towards an honest attempt to help you, that's why you're getting attention... [09:59] Wifi miniPCI card [09:59] THE_MAC, and I believe it works by default [09:59] how does nvidia card work with ubuntu? [09:59] matitaccia : if it's a prez, then OpenOffice [09:59] Ademan, I WAS NOT looking for help [09:59] ok .. how do i get it to work or make ubuntu see it ?? [09:59] All my applets dissapeared [09:59] calwig, iti should work well [09:59] Ademan, I suggest you go BACK and check the conversation - I never contacted you. [10:00] THE_MAC, do a dmesg | grep linksys [10:00] AnnonyMouse, ... I'll try to open it from OO. [10:00] Macfuddy: applets? [10:00] THE_MAC, that should tell you if it is being recognaized [10:00] where do i do that [10:00] no. You contacted me about man pages and assumed I knew nothing about them. I NEVER contacted you. [10:00] Ademan, [10:00] terminal ? [10:00] what's a good cpp compiler for ubuntu [10:00] THE_MAC, alt+f2, gnome-terminal [10:01] yeas, the little things up by the date and volume control [10:01] CaptainMorgan: you, uh, need to chill out, but you're right, I meant to respond to CaptainAwesome in the first place... heh [10:01] acalvo: as far as roaming, software wise and compatibility, does it depend on the model of the computer? or should it work with most models that support the miniPCI ? For example I have an intel 3945 or the such and works well with the dell 6400 [10:01] like nm-applet and the suchlike [10:01] i have old PC Pentuim1 , cpu 233, ram32 , any good OP for it? :D [10:01] Macfuddy: so you just re-add them [10:01] AnnonyMouse, cross fingers... It's trying to import it. [10:01] Pentium MMXs can still browse text-based web with a few pictures... but flash content kills them' [10:01] painted, gcc is the compiler, to install it sudo apt-get install build-essential [10:02] could someone recommend me a data recovery program for usb thumb drive? Drive has had 2 quick formats on it, very few writes on it and the file im trying to recover is in size about 1-3KB big [10:02] Sorry. But when someone is mistakenly trying to force something and I have no clue why they're doing it, contacting me out of the blue -- you might see why I'd be responsive [10:02] jamelon : that's streatchingg it a bit. may b ok for a VoIP server or to run damnsmall on [10:02] calwig, it does not depend on the model of computer -- maybe on the chipset that controls the miniPCI [10:02] AnnonyMouse, ... looks like OO is crashing. [10:02] Macfuddy: right click the panel that they where on and then click "add to panel" [10:02] hm is php-cgi borked? I dont get anything in apache2/mods-enabled so it cant be started [10:02] mechdave, what about dev C++ [10:02] has anyone ever done ubuntu on a usb key with a mac? [10:02] acalvo, AnnonyMouse, take note of what Ademan said, thanks. [10:03] wl [10:03] !anyone | aaroninfidel [10:03] * Bob_Dole had a Pentium MMX clocked at 285mhz once. used it for listening to music and browsing the web...2 years ago. [10:03] AnnonyMouse, ... lol... just a bunch of nonsense chars [10:03] hi [10:03] can't find nm-applet [10:03] painted, gcc will do c and c++ [10:03] acalvo: ah ok, well i only do intel pcis, no VIAs or any other [10:03] Paddy_EIRE: yeah yeah... I was asking because I need help doing it. [10:03] Bob_Dole: man, that makes even my machine look speedy [10:03] acalvo: all the hardware i purchase is intel [10:03] calwig, then you shouldn't have any trouble [10:04] painted, included in gcc is g++ which is a c++ compiler [10:04] aaroninfidel: it goes in the notification area anyway.. its not individually added [10:04] [SiS] 771/671 VGA driver !! [10:04] aaroninfidel: 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? [10:04] errr Macfuddy [10:04] mechdave: g++ isn't installed with the gcc *package* though is it? [10:04] Ademan, I have a pentium MMX 133mhz laptop with 24MB of RAM, too. But my main desktop is a 2.8ghz Core 2 Duo @3.4ghz, with 4GB of PC6400 DDR2 RAM. [10:04] Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks [10:04] Ademan, you should install build-essential instead [10:04] Ademan, I thought so... but I could be wrong [10:04] aaroninfidel: better to ask complete questions thats all :P [10:04] nm-applet is not in the list [10:04] Has anyone experienced Skype crashes after upgrading from Ubuntu 8.10 (64 bit) to Ubuntu 9.04 (again 64 bit)? [10:04] how come ubuntu programs use so much less hard drive space than window counterparts [10:04] Paddy_EIRE: alright thanks. [10:05] Macfuddy: read the last thing I said [10:05] Bob_Dole: and that rig makes all of my machines look like piles of slag... lol [10:05] acalvo: because i have now a truemobile card, but it doesnt support wpa2, and whatever WEP it supports it functions with a huge overload of struggle and my throughput is max 50KBps, i have thought its the encryption that is causing that, because my other laptop with the better intel card, does up to 1.9MBPS with WPA2 so [10:05] painted, because they do not bring crap to your computer [10:05] Macfuddy: it goes in the notification area anyway.. its not individually added [10:05] painted: because they share very large parts of their code with each other (the byproduct of this is that each program has umpteen billion different dependencies) it makes them more compact on disk and in memory [10:05] but it is not there [10:05] calwig, what chip does it have? [10:05] know where I can find an ISO of ubuntu that has efi enabled for booting on mac? it was said here that its possible http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869324 [10:06] join #locombia [10:06] Ademan, the ATI Radeon HD 3850 doesn't hurt either ;D But yeah..lots of flash still makes firefox act like it was running on the Pentium MMX, though @,@ [10:06] it is gone [10:06] aaroninfidel: amanda-b is wrestling with that at the moment [10:06] mechdave, i installed build-essential but I do not see g++ under applications [10:06] I am using Ubuntu 9.04, and I have a printer connected to a Windows computer on my network, but I can't access the printer (trying to set it up using the "System>Administration>Printing" dialog) [10:06] Bob_Dole: haha yeah, I can't wait for gnash to move along [10:06] AnnonyMouse, oohh fuck.... you can't open *.mdi files under linux. [10:06] nore convert them [10:06] (Oh, the dialog closes when I try to browse for a Windows printer) [10:06] nor is it in the list that I get when I click add to panel [10:06] painted: it's a command line program ,if you want an IDE you want anjuta or kdevelop [10:06] Ademan: so when shes figures it out... are they going to release an iso I can have? :D [10:06] painted, could you try from a terminal g++ --version? [10:06] Scrolling to the bottom of a page shouldn't take 3 minutes on a machine of this caliber! [10:07] Anyone using Skype on Ubuntu 9? [10:07] matitaccia, you can open pretty much anything; just have to find the right app [10:07] painted, it is used on the command line eg: g++ -o executable_file_name file_to_compile [10:07] aaroninfidel, the standard i386 isos will work [10:07] 600M = Truemobile 1300 (the poorer card for wpa2) although with no encryption it works normal, but still lacks much more than any other cards. i6400 = Intel Wireless PRO 3946 or so and i can be over 200 meters away from an access point (as I am now) and be online, its a-ma-zing [10:07] AnnonyMouse, ... and have the time for it. ;-) Thx. [10:07] aaroninfidel, you can use refit instead, and install ubuntu then [10:07] painted: or eclipse-cdt [10:07] what is the app ? [10:07] !efi | aaroninfidel [10:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about efi [10:08] matitaccia : mdi from what app? [10:08] aw man... [10:08] amanda-b: they'll work when booting from usb? which type of format do you use for the usb fat32? [10:08] I have refit on my iMac. And had ubuntu, but it didn't like the idea of pairing with my wireless keyboard... [10:08] the bot seems to be down.... again [10:08] someone twating around with it [10:09] mechdave, meh... i'd rather use an IDE than commandline [10:09] calwig, "The TrueMobile 1300 is a 54g(TM) wireless LAN mini-PCI card based on Broadcom's BCM4306/BCM2050 chipset" [10:09] matitaccia : if they insist on giving you files in some crappy windoze app, you can always run the win app inside wine [10:09] AnnonyMouse, ... I think it was made with Office from microsoft. As far as I can see from uncle google. [10:09] acalvo: that won't work. it wouldn't boot because rEFIt doesn't support legacy booting very well. [10:09] paddy_EIRE: the pidgin thing, the deluge thing and the nm-applet thing are all gone from my top right panel thing [10:09] painted, it's a shame, that chipset is reverse-engineering, so it won't work perfectly, nor support all the encryption protocols [10:10] painted: did you see the IDES i mentioned? [10:10] 2 [10:10] AnnonyMouse, yeah. I'm not such an expert to install wine and all the other stuff in a reasonable amount of time. I really need a windows machine. [10:10] Macfuddy, sounds like your system notifications is gone ;] [10:10] yes, i did, ademan, thank you [10:10] but the volume thing works fine [10:10] Macfuddy: I already told you to re-add the notification area twice [10:10] aaroninfidel, well, I've it in my iMac and macbook [10:10] aaroninfidel, you said boot on an efi box i thought, eg a mac. i boot from the internal hard drive on the mac. i've never attempted to boot from a usb drive. [10:10] painted, sorry I am a cli compiling guy, even with fancy ide's I still use the command line... I find it much more powerful. You could possibly try eclipse tho [10:10] AnnonyMouse, and someone willing/able to convert that in some normal format. [10:10] painted: no problem, just making sure you saw them, there are a few more, less popular options, but anjuta, kdevelop or eclipse-cdt are probably your best bets for an IDE [10:10] hey guys, what core number does my ati x1400 relate to? is it above r500?? [10:10] hey, it works [10:11] acalvo: correct, and the bcm4306 has an issue with the rev.2 and 3 and 4, so im trying to move away from those issues, it also conflicts (as a dell defect) with the intel pro 1000 wired card, so im trying to get the bcm4306 out [10:11] Macfuddy, right click the panel up top, select "Add to panel" and find "Notification Area" and click on it and hit the "add" button [10:11] no, I got it [10:11] acalvo: I was specifically talking about booting from usb devices. [10:11] * Macfuddy thanks [10:11] amanda-b: oh ok. [10:11] matitaccia : no hassles. go to apps, add/remove, pick wine. once installis finished, install the file-reading app per usual & off u go! [10:12] aaroninfidel, ok ok, didn't get that [10:12] amanda-b: apparently it works well once you enable grub for efi booting, but I can't find an iso that has it enabled. [10:12] AnnonyMouse, kk... could give it a try. Thanks. [10:12] painted: oh also vim :-p (no not really, well, sorta, vim was like driving nails under my fingernails for a while, but it actually broke me of my IDE habit, I'm much faster now with vim than I ever was with visual studio) [10:12] can someone say my name? cause i'm testing something out? [10:12] aaroninfidel, i had no problem installing ubuntu server on my mac, 9.04, using the standard iso. [10:13] YaManicKill: [10:13] how do you mount an iso with ubuntu [10:13] Ademan: thanks :D [10:13] it works :D [10:13] painted: mount -o loop thing.iso /path/to/mountpoint [10:13] YaManicKill: no problem, did you set up a notification or something? [10:13] painted: try gmountiso [10:13] Ademan: aye...i've set it up to send it to notify-osd :D [10:13] YaManicKill: have enough people said your name yet [10:13] amanda-b: agree'd its worked for me like that, but my mac's HD is quite small, and I need all the space I can get, if I can boot from usb it'd be ideal. [10:13] gordonjcp: yeah thanls :D [10:13] painted, you sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /where/it/is/to/be/mounted [10:13] what is the -o for? [10:14] s/thanls/thanks/ [10:14] YaManicKill: nifty, did you write anything yourself? you should post it somewhere if you did [10:14] painted: or this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html [10:14] aaroninfidel, i dunno if that's possible, as the usb subsystem is kernel-dependent ... [10:14] Ademan: no...i managed to find an irssi script somewhere [10:14] YaManicKill: ah, haha [10:14] http://tinyurl.com/o65uuh [10:14] i have question, Photoshop or adobe products will work under Ubuntu? [10:14] i'm not that clever :P === mrlolplx-off is now known as mrlolplx [10:14] jamelon: wine. [10:14] :-p [10:14] amanda-b: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869324 it says here its possible. [10:14] aaroninfidel, good luck then. [10:15] amanda-b: :P yeah.. thanks [10:15] * YaManicKill is happy [10:15] !kvm [10:15] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [10:15] jamelon: http://appdb.winehq.org will let you know if they work under wine, some do some don't, and some sortof work, I can look up a few for you if you'd like. Alternatively you could run windows in a VM for photoshop and whatnot [10:15] jamelon, Some under WINE.. last I tried(about 3 updates ago, i think) CS3 didn't work. But I mostly use the GIMP, and don't use photoshop even on windows systems where it's installed. [10:16] painted, if you type man mount into a terminal it will give you a manual page about mount. This is the case for most programs in ubuntu. The -o is an option [10:16] Bob_Dole: I think cs3 is still in the same state but i'm not positive [10:16] last call b4 bed-tiem: no one here updated a bad KVM patch? [10:16] acalvo: i just want to know if there is a person here or if there is a well documented and tested site where i can see that 2200 or 2916 are well supported up to 8.04/9.04 so i can get the wifi card and either load the module or compile it (though it may already be well in the kernel) By the way, have you got any opinions about MIMO? [10:16] help help help [10:16] qq [10:16] !ask JohnSourcer [10:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask JohnSourcer [10:16] !ask | JohnSourcer [10:16] JohnSourcer: 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. :-) [10:16] thanks folks ^_^ [10:16] noob here: got 9.04 installed and have kicked windows [10:16] painted, it accepts a comma seperated list of options [10:16] !wifi [10:16] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:16] I am running an Nvidia driver [10:17] hi [10:17] !enter | JohnSourcer [10:17] JohnSourcer: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:17] folks ^_^ [10:17] lol. whenever I reboot my desktop revets to 800x600? [10:17] Skype crashes after upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 (64-bit). Has anyone experienced this? [10:18] JohnSourcer: use EnvyNG [10:18] egad, the chromium daily builds are horrific! lol (not that I should expect any more from pre-pre-alpha software...) [10:18] TheSaint : I had issues under 64 [10:18] JohnSourcer, Welcome to Ubuntu, if you have a question please ask it and we will do our best to answer [10:18] TheSaint : resolved by using ubuntu-tweak [10:18] mechdave, how do you compile with g++? [10:18] it gave me no input files when i tried what you said [10:19] painted: from the command line? g++ foo.cpp -o foo [10:19] excellent [10:19] that compiles foo.cpp and creates the executable file foo [10:19] I hate how everytime I use a CRT, Ubuntu refuses to allow me a resolution above 640x480(usually) or 800x600(occasionally).. But the 1 system using a CRT is gone, so it no longer affects me. :| [10:20] I get this issue when trying to load the KVM critical patch: http://pastebin.com/m53670cc4 [10:20] ubuntu system can be installed under HDD partition NTFS? [10:20] thanks ademan, and where is foo located at? [10:20] painted: -o is output just for the record, I've seen people write g++ -o foo foo.cpp which apparently works, but I prefer the first way since it's more clear [10:20] painted: the current directory [10:20] jamelon, I think wubi allows it, but it emulates the ext3 filesystem and causes a performance hit. [10:21] painted, try this url, it is very basic but it may be of some use (I am assuming you already know how to write a c++ program) --> http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~beechung/ref/gcc-intro.html [10:21] and I think it has to be installed from within windows that way, too, jamelon [10:21] painted: if you wanted something different: g++ foo -o /home/painted/some/where/else/foo [10:21] good, thank you ^_^ [10:21] Ademan: lmao... he is asking where "foo" is located [10:22] jamelon : u can run ubuntu as an "app" on win, or resize your HDD partition & to a proper install. rather add another disk or external USB drive [10:22] Paddy_EIRE: oh.... lol [10:22] * Bob_Dole doesn't use windows, so hasn't a clue about wubi. [10:22] painted: you'll probably want to look into some sort of build system, like either a Makefile or SCons or something [10:22] ademan, where is the current directory? I think it compiled but id on't know where it put it [10:22] painted: the current directory is wherever you are. if you type ls, it will show you the contents of the current directory, and you should see the compiled file [10:22] painted, what are you trying to compile? [10:23] mechdave, just a cout program [10:23] i'm just trying to see how this gcc thing works [10:23] painted: what command did you use to compile it? (just copy and paste) [10:23] i'm thinking to install ubunto in external Hdd, thanks :) [10:23] ademan, thank you very much [10:23] ubunru* [10:23] painted, try g++ -o program.out program.cpp [10:23] why i cannot boot jaunty aunty with usb :( [10:23] ufff, ubuntu* [10:24] anyone running openvz on ubuntu? [10:24] mechdave: that is not easy method to compile, is there any easy method in ubuntu to work with c? for beginners [10:24] painted: oh you've got it under control now? nevermind then, I don't need to see the command [10:24] ValentineX: use an IDE like eclipse-cdt anjuta or kdevelop [10:24] ValentineX: apt-get install build-essentials [10:25] mechdave: why *do* some people put the output file first? it always seemed far less clear to me... [10:25] ademan, how do i run the command in terminal to see if it compiled correctly? [10:25] painted: ./foo [10:25] where foo is the name you put after -o in your compile command [10:25] ValentineX, that's how I started out, although you can switch around the command like this --> g++ program.cpp -o program.out [10:25] Ademan: netbeans that is in ubuntu supported? [10:26] Hi! How do I add network folders in PCMan folder manager? [10:26] simplexio: what that will install [10:26] ./ is the command for run? [10:26] ValentineX: I don't know about "supported" but yeah you can install and use netbeans with their c development plugin [10:26] thanks for the help, see you later folks ^_^ [10:26] Ademan, it is just how the man page did it in RedHat 5.04, that is where I learned C++ [10:26] byeeeee [10:27] painted: actually no, . is the current directory, and / is the path separator so you're saying ./foo (in the current directory, the file foo) it runs runnable things if they're the first thing in your command [10:28] ademan, why can't I just type foo instead of ./foo then [10:28] My sound just suddenly died (8.04) I installed Rosegarden, jackd, Qjackctl, and timidity (which wouldn't install properly, had some sort of error at the end of the apt-get install, so I then apt-get removed it). Now, no sound will work at all. In totem and rhythmbox, I get the error "Failed to connect stream, Invalid argument". In Preferences->Sound, when I click Test for any of the options, I get the error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! [10:28] painted, you need to tell the computer where the file is you want to run [10:29] painted: you can if you symlink it.. put it in /usr/bin [10:29] painted: a command is more or less setup like [thing to run] [options] so actually the only reason why you can't just run foo is because [thing to run] needs to have an explicit path OR be located in your $PATH variable. which contains a list of directories to look in [10:29] i am using pidgin of linux in xp :D [10:29] xp is slow :( [10:29] Paddy_EIRE: eugh! [10:29] Ademan: :P [10:29] ValentineX : Y? [10:29] i see, thank you paddy and ademan [10:29] no problem painted, I tend to ramble so I hope that made sense... [10:29] if i compile an exe under ubuntu, it wouldn't run under windows, would it? [10:30] painted, nope [10:30] painted: no, not the way we showed you [10:30] not at all, ademan, it makes a lot of sense, your rambling [10:30] painted: there are ways to "cross compile" for windows though [10:30] AnnonyMouse: i dont know ubuntu was fast but i formated my disks now waiting for my ubuntu 9.04 cd then will install ubuntu again [10:30] I'm going to restart my computer, please have an answer ready when I get back :) [10:30] brb 1 min [10:30] ValentineX: gcc (compiler) some needed stuff for compile, for idea anjuta, eclipse and netbeans are easy, some say that nano is good editor and some say that vi is best ever [10:30] painted, it is possible to do what is called cross compile, but that is a lot more complicated than what we have shown you [10:31] mechdave, okay, not interested in cross compiling, i was just curious :) [10:31] painted, phew :) [10:31] mechdave: not interested in dealing with mingw? :-p [10:31] i kinda like gcc, mechdave, ademan [10:31] simplexio: i save your line will try that [10:31] AnnonyMouse: what ubuntu tweak are you referring to? [10:31] it seems much simpler [10:31] painted: cool! it's the best :-) [10:31] plus i like playing around with terminal [10:32] Ademan, what is mingw? [10:32] ValentineX: for fast start you dont need anything else than build-essential and text editor [10:32] painted: the terminal will quickly become a very powerful tool for you, i'm sure, especially if you're interested in exploring it [10:32] does the netmix version of ubuntu fits on an old p3 notebook? [10:32] wooop got the firefox and thunderbird addons for notify-osd as well [10:32] :D [10:32] mechdave: a port of gcc to windows, which was ported (back to?) linux/bsd for cross compiling for windows [10:32] ademan, I used windows all my life, so it seems so crazy that I can download and install programs all from a single terminal command... :D [10:33] simplexio: what is text editor, like notepad in xp? [10:33] painted, it is very different to using windows, I have used some kind of Linux for last 10 years, I now have problems with windows :/ [10:33] painted: yeah! apt-get is the original reason why I stuck with ubuntu after I tried it [10:33] ValentineX: yeh.. something to use write code, i learned my C using nano as editor and gcc as compiler [10:33] mechdave: I can't tell you how frustrating it is working on windows machines these days... [10:33] TheSaint : http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ is ALL the propietary software I use [10:33] mechdave: i struggle using windows now as well :P [10:34] hello i'm running ubuntu 9.04 64bit yesterday i try to install the driver linux for xerox phaser 6128mfp provided in the cd for redhat is RPM file. with a friend running on ubuntu 32 we try to use alien to convert it in deb. Then i forced the architecture for the installation but didn't work. there is a solution ? [10:34] including skype [10:34] it doesn't help that my gnome setup is way different from windows' taskbar setup... [10:34] painted: tell me more about i, i just cursed why i have to first search and download free ms sql test versio, then click 10 times before its installed [10:34] lmao @ simplexio [10:34] here the driver page http://www.support.xerox.com/go/results.asp?Xtype=download&prodID=6128MFP&Xlang=en_US&Xcntry=USA [10:34] ademan, what kind of gnome set up you got? [10:34] i have built my windows dev virtual machine for 5 days now.. i got ubuntu dev machine up in 1 day [10:34] Ademan, windows now is like a major step back... I tend to open a dos window and wonder why ls doesn't work, then I realise I am in windows and not Linux [10:34] AnnonyMouse: Thanks. I am looking at that. But in my case, I had no issues with Skype on Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit [10:35] simplexio: nano is already installed in ubuntu? [10:35] AnnonyMouse: it is only after I upgraded to 9,04, Skype crashes/ hangs silently. [10:35] i used skyp on all my 64 ubuntu's. there was/is issues w pulse audio [10:35] AnnonyMouse: It appears that I am online, but the program does not respond. [10:36] AnnonyMouse: I have had some issue with 8.04 in the past wrt audio. But that got fixed with the upgrade to 8.10 [10:36] painted, you are new to Ubuntu? [10:36] TheSaint : I had crached w skype plug-ins & still do to some extent, especially my stype-piding plug-in [10:36] mechdave, one week new so far, and liking it a lot [10:36] does ubuntu use a memory hierarchy, whereby CPU registers, dram, ram chips, virtual memory, etc, are all part of the overall memory system? [10:36] i need help from someone with a problem installing drivers for my Polaroid digital camera [10:36] AnnonyMouse: "crached" == crashed? [10:36] yes [10:36] @mechdave - I think Powershell has fixed that http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/management/powershell/default.mspx (correct me if I'm wrong) [10:36] homeskill : check devices under /dev & /prov [10:36] my firefox has spaced out wide fonts tried remove then reinstall--no luck still the same--greatly thankful for any ideals [10:37] is there a terminal stopwatch? [10:37] www.thezeitgeistmovement.com [10:37] painted, what I did was go out and buy a dictionary of unix commands, many of the commands are the same in Linux, although you may be able to buy a gnu command dictionary now days [10:37] 1 [10:37] mj___ : move your ~/.mozilla/firefox somewhere safe & restart FF [10:37] http://svn.df7cb.de/debian/irssi-scripts/trunk/scripts/tinyurl.pl === mohamed is now known as Guest76475 [10:37] mechdave, i found this site http://www.linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php [10:38] no need for dictionary :D [10:38] act 1 [10:38] ok i try that thanx [10:38] AnnonyMouse: Does ubuntu tweak have something in specific for Skype? [10:38] TheSaint : just does the install very nicely 7 pretty stable [10:39] can someone tell me where to find drivers for a polariod digital camera [10:39] AnnonyMouse: I have already got Skype installed. Do I need to uninstall that first? [10:40] painted, looks good, I shall bookmark that one, thanks :) [10:40] TheSaint : not a requirement, but makes installing those apps a snap [10:40] you're quite welcome, mechdave :D [10:40] no hacking & linking 32 to 64 bit libs & etc [10:40] man irssi [10:40] How to recover bin files with foremost, any ideas please? [10:40] andycas : ??? [10:41] painted : can i get some help please [10:41] what you need dino_ [10:41] need help finding drivers for my polariod diggy cam [10:41] AnnonyMouse: Well it only recovers known file types, i lost a firmware due to a quick format. I created an image with gddrescue and ran foremost on it, but it only recovered some pictures and rar files... non essential stuff [10:42] andycas: bin files should start with 7F ELF but you could probably search for just ELF [10:42] i have the i534 [10:42] andycas : disk recovery is extremely difficult; I've not had much luck w it [10:43] njamin, interesting to see a UNIX shell on windows [10:43] dino_, i don't know much about finding drivers... try... System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [10:43] whats the fastest way to find a PID? [10:43] dino_, that program found all my drivers [10:43] Hi all... is there a way to force a reboot remotely when "reboot" isn't doing the job? It claims to be bringing the box down but 20minuts later I can still ssh in :( [10:43] thanks ill try really fast [10:43] what library do i have to install if i get this message: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmk4 [10:44] tiz, is ssh enabled as a startup service? [10:44] what's this mean ? "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libltdl3 (>= 1.5.2-2)" [10:44] andycas: assuming by bin files you mean executables and shared libraries that is... otherwise you can probably search for the "magic numbers" for other file types, png files start with PNG and jpg starts with JPG I believe, but you'd want to google that, the magic number is usually 4 bytes, so i think png is actually "PNG " you should be able to rather easily find png files searching for that [10:44] mechdave: Yes [10:44] bingungaja: either that library isn't in the repositories, or it conflicts with something you already have installed [10:44] I think it's a wedged NFS mount that's causing it not to reboot [10:44] tiz, how are you communicating with this box at the moment? [10:45] mechdave: SSH, obviously. [10:45] k9copy is crashing. what else can i use to extra a dvd to .iso ? [10:45] Ademan: any idea how to fix that ? i want to install gyachi [10:46] mechdave: Why is that relevant? [10:46] bingungaja: run apt-cache search libltdl3 and see if it shows it, first of all, if not then make sure you have the right repositories enabled (you can do that easily from synaptic) [10:46] tiz, sorry I misread your question, reboot will only reboot the machine... it will startup again and be fully functional, if you want it to stay down try sudo poweroff [10:46] cycle% [10:47] mechdave: You might still be misundrstanding... I have issued the reboot command, but no reboot has occurred. [10:47] SSH and friends are still running. [10:47] Nothing seems to have been killed. [10:47] CYCLE %|rockbox [10:47] CYCLE %|#rockbox === LordInquisitor is now known as NotAmusedCat [10:47] So I'm looking for a "more forceful" kind of reboot, maybe one that doesn't bother cleanly stopping thigns [10:47] robin0800: uh... what are you doing? [10:47] tiz, righto, and you used sudo to obtain root priv for the command? [10:48] tiz, hold power button? [10:48] Yes, and I get the message saying the machine is goign down [10:48] tbtroj: My arm doesn't stretch the 5 miles it would need to :) [10:48] tiz: can you force unmount nfs? === NotAmusedCat is now known as AmusedCat [10:48] tiz but uptime is telling you it has not rebooted?

[10:49] Ademan: Nope... it's in use by programs that I can't kill because the NFS mount has broken :( [10:49] (God, I hate NFS) [10:49] The things using the NFS won't die even with kill -KILL [10:50] I'm only getting a wireless connection *after* I logged in to gnome. What could be the problem? [10:50] tiz: egh, I dunno if shutdown -r now would do what you wanted, that's probably what reboot is an alias for, but it might be worth a whirl [10:50] pro-rsoft, what's the problem exactly? [10:50] do I need to add my wifi interface to /etc/network/interfaces ? [10:50] tbtroj, I dont use gnome that often [10:50] tbtroj, I normally only use cmdline, without logging into gnome [10:51] pro-rsoft: That's what Network Manager does by default - you may be able to use the checkbox for "is a system setting" [10:51] hm [10:51] wher can I find that setting? [10:51] pro-rsoft: manually configuring the interface would work too [10:51] Ademan: Same result, but ta for the suggestion. [10:51] pro-rsoft: It's somewhere in the N-M dialogues. [10:51] Ah well, looks like I'll have to wait till I get home. [10:51] Ta for trying peeps. [10:51] tiz, you can kill different ways you know? [10:51] nm-system-settings? ok [10:51] Ademan: it shows "libltdl7-dev - A system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool [10:51] " [10:51] tiz: no problem... sorry nothing's working :-/ kill -9 on the offending processes doesn't work either? [10:52] tiz, I don't know of anything, maybe you might have to go for a 5 mile drive? [10:52] Ademan: kill -9 is the same as kill -KILL I believe, which as I said I've tried. [10:52] I'll give it a go though [10:52] tiz, isnt kill -9 the same as kill -HUP ? [10:52] ademan, i want a text editor with transparent background so i can match it with my command terminal, can you help me [10:52] tiz, oh wait sorr [10:52] hmm [10:52] tiz, http://www.linuxcommand.org/lts0080.php#killing_a_process [10:52] Hi, I find the font highlighting colour a bit too dark in ooffice 3.1 (under ubuntu hardy). Is there any way of changing this? [10:52] painted, you could use a terminal editor, such as vim. [10:52] tiz: I think it is, sorry I missed where you said that, I've only been sorta following your issue :-/ [10:53] tbtroj, what's a terminal editor [10:53] painted, I mean a terminal text editor. Text editor used in the terminal. (nano is a more friendly one than vim is) [10:53] painted: I wouldn't use vim, I love the hell out of it, but it's definitely *not* an easy editor to learn [10:54] hmmm, why does the idea of a text editor used in terminal not sound very easy? [10:54] http://www.polaroid.com/service/software/opensource/ov511.c can someone tell me what am i suppose to do with this open source [10:54] i just want a transparent text editor, it shouldn't be hard to find [10:54] so i can install it [10:54] egh, gedit doesn't support transparency?... :-/ [10:54] painted: kate might support it, one second [10:54] gEdit should be able to have a transparent background (as you say, it shouldn't be hard to find the option) [10:54] q_: Thanks... no joy. I wouldn't expect it to work though, the process is in state D which is "uninteruptable sleep" - there's virtually no circumstances in which the kernel will let such a process die because it leaves internal kernal structures in an inconsistent state. [10:55] tbtroj: i'm looking for the option and I don't see it, I'm as surprised as you... [10:55] tiz, oh, hmkay [10:55] ok, I have a tarball on my desktop I want to install [10:56] ok, so I have a tarball on my desktop I want to install, and I can't seem to do so with synaptic. how can I install it? [10:56] Ademan, wow, I just looked to.. I always thought it did, heh. Scribes or something should have it I assume.. [10:56] Hi, I find the font highlighting colour a bit too dark in ooffice 3.1 (under ubuntu hardy). Is there any way of changing this? [10:56] I don't really feel like apt-getting random text editors right now though, heh. [10:56] brennus, most likely that tarball contains source code, you'll need to compile it first [10:56] brennus, what is the application you are trying to install? There is probably a .deb file somewhere for it. [10:56] pro-rsoft: how would I do that? [10:56] how do u compile a source code for installation [10:56] what can i use to mae an iso from a dvd? [10:57] tbtroj: truecrypt. it's not in the repositories. [10:57] ack, kate wants all of the kde deps, I don't know how I don't have them already for k3b and amarok, but I don't.... [10:57] Ademan: it shows "libltdl7-dev - A system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool" [10:57] brennus, it is [10:57] dino__, usually it involves ./configure then make then sudo make install [10:57] dino__, you must have the correct libraries and dependencies though (hence the hassle of compiling normally) [10:57] bingungaja: where are you getting the package for gyachi ? [10:57] fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [10:57] q_: not when I search for it. I get easycrypt and another gui, but not truecrypt itself [10:57] brennus, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=899505 [10:58] !ohmy | dino__ [10:58] dino__: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures.

[10:58] brennus, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-truecrypt-with-gui-tool-in-ubuntu-gutsy.html [10:58] that bits :)) [10:58] brennus, first google result [10:58] ah [10:58] brennus, why not taking the GUI along? [10:58] brennus, use tbtroj 's link [10:58] q_: the repositories only had the gui, not the actual app itself. [10:58] thanks all [10:58] aar_ u want to look at the source and tell me what u think ? [10:59] Ademan, tbtroj: From a quick peek around it appears that if gedit is capable of doing background transparency, it would be through creating a custom gtksourceview style file. See /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/styles/. (This is where colors are - I still don't know if transparency is an option.) [10:59] !swear | dino__ [10:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about swear [10:59] !language [10:59] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:59] Ooh I thought ubottu would know about that [10:59] yea my bad didnt know i cant swear [10:59] tonyyarusso, we were looking to see if it did to suggest for someone else, thanks for the info though :P [10:59] Ademan: here .. http://ubuntusite.com/gyachie-yahoo-messenger-for-linux/ [10:59] q_, thanks [11:00] brennus, it says for Gutsy, but it should work for whatever version you are using, I think. [11:00] dino__, sorry I can't do that right now. Is there a readme file tarred with the code? It might contain instructions about installation. Else, try the ./configure/make/sudo make install option. [11:00] http://www.polaroid.com/service/software/opensource/ov511.c cant someone look at this source and tell me how to compile it [11:00] Hi guys. [11:00] hi! did the signing key on herdy security repository changed? I keep getting bad signing key error on apt-get update. thank you! [11:00] err herdy/hardy [11:00] brennus, and make sure you go to the download link and select Ubuntu x86 instead of the default option for downloading. [11:01] is it possible for me to go access the pidgin messenger on some other computer in ubuntu i know comp passwords [11:01] tbtroj: even if I have the 64-bit version/ [11:01] dino__, is this a kernel module? [11:01] tonyyarusso: thanks for picking that one out, unfortunately I don't think a global modification for the gtksourceview widget would be terribly wise... or within the current capabilities of the user that wants it [11:01] brennus, well than get the 64 version :P (I just assumed you were using 32, sorry) [11:01] dino__, on closer inspection it is a kernel module [11:01] its the only open source i can find for the web cam drivers on my cam [11:02] can anyone confirm that kate *also* doesn't support transparency? I'm getting really surprised here... [11:02] brennus, why do you want to complie it? there is a .deb [11:02] tbtroj: it's cool, I'm always welcoming advice [11:02] the user had already logged on to the pidgin messenger so if i get access to his comp can i also open it and view the conversation tabs [11:02] i cant find a package to install on it [11:02] dino__, check this www out: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/compiling-c-program-and-creating-executable-file/ [11:02] hello.i have problems with my Dell Vostro1510-Fan, it runs too often too high-its annoying. Under windows xp i can force it to run more quiet with the programm i8kfan. The i8kfan alternative programm "dellfand" always crashes the system. the usual way to control fans in ubuntu with "lmsensors" doesnt work since sensor-detect cant find any sensors. I called the dell support and they`re gonna change the fan. It has been said: "Users with this pro [11:02] kate does appear to have a vi mode though ;-) [11:02] q_: nvm, I'm figuring it out. thank you! [11:02] dino__, you need to install build-essential and the kernel headers to be able to compile that one [11:02] brennus, k :) have fun encrypting [11:02] shame, ademan, a transparent text editor would be awesome.... [11:03] Is there any software like frostwire that still works on the Gnutella net frostwire on Ubuntu 8.04 is broken missing .jar file. gtk-gnutella is also broken. Would like just one that works. [11:03] <<<<< newbie [11:03] speak english [11:03] painted, you can use nano or joe or vim with the terminal set to transparent [11:03] painted: there's definitely one out there, tonyyarusso seems to suggest there *is* a way to make gedit do that, but it sounds like far more of a pain than it's worth to you...

[11:05] I find the font highlighting colour a bit too dark in ooffice 3.1 (under ubuntu hardy). Is there any way of changing this or is it hard-coded? [11:05] dino__, you could try #linux for help on compiling a kernel module or maybe even #kernel [11:05] alright guys, thanks a lot for the help, it's time for me to get to sleep [11:05] q_: ok, so I have the .deb file; when I open it in the package installer, it won't let me hit install. ideas? [11:05] especially ademan and mechdave [11:05] painted, look into nano, it's a terminal text editor (so it will look just like your terminal) but it is really quite easy to use. [11:05] painted, no worries, glad to help a newbie :) [11:06] brennus, no, just wanted to do the same and have the same problem [11:06] anyone who has advice? http://q-garden.de/screens/tmp_27_29846.png [11:06] damn [11:07] atsc alternative to mythtv? [11:07] painted: no problem, happy to help, sorry we couldn't get you that transparent editor [11:08] brennus, I'm looking into it on my system, one second [11:08] brennus, ooops, have you left synaptic open just as me? [11:09] q_I do not believe so [11:09] how do you turn a dvd into an iso?

[11:11] Lartza_: O_o people use postfix? haha erm, I'm going to be honest, I think you'll have trouble getting help for that in here [11:11] Lartza_, you probably need a domain and a mailserver somewhere on the net to relay your mail. You probably know more than i do tho. [11:11] Lartza_: but is your gmail account setup to allow pop3 and imap access? that'd probably be helpful [11:11] What should I use then?

[12:09] Lundt, indus then gedit lsmod.txt and paste it in a pastebin [12:09] messages :) [12:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/171490/ [12:09] indus, no worries, I figured we were both missing messages to Lundt from each other [12:09] bluephase: why dont they all use newest version at your course? :) sorry, dont know how to help you [12:09] mechdave: lol what do you know its the first module [12:09] mechdave nothing is in my ismod.txt [12:10] i have added 4 rows and 13 colums in workspaces....... but , its not going that workspace.. it just stays on the first row alone.. how to go to other rows ? [12:10] mechdave: Lundt:now we need to modprobe i believe [12:10] I've downloaded the ubuntu cd twice now from 2 different mirrors they both have the same md5 hash and they both are telling me they have errors in 1 file when I perform disc check [12:10] INdus: how ?:) [12:10] bluephase: or join #netbeans, theres some people there which may help you [12:10] alberto2000: something about the course was started when 4.1 was the standard, so they havent updated the texts for the newer version. seems daft to me, but its the way they do things. thanks anyway [12:10] Lundt, indus no look at line 41 [12:10] alberto2000: thanks again [12:10] #netbeans [12:10] Mechdave Ndiswrapper [12:10] sacarlson: dmesg shows a line "usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs" but lsmod does not list usbcore nor usbfs. What is wrong in my thoughts? [12:10] mechdave: means what [12:11] Mechdave: what now what [12:11] ' [12:11] KingKimi, what are you doing with 52 workspaces? [12:11] mike126: i got that same message, but I was able to install Ubuntu okay. Maybe it'll work anyway? [12:11] Lundt, indus oh that sucks, don't worry about it for now [12:11] akirashinigami: I cannot install, the live CD GUI looks all messed up [12:11] Lundt, this will possibly conflict with b43 [12:11] q_ :P just to see how it looks with 52 workspaces/// but its even not taking me to second row ... [12:11] Mechdave i dont know if i got a problem.. my wireless is working i can find one network.. but not the one i created.. [12:12] Lundt, indus we need to blacklist ndiswrapper because of potentional conf=licts [12:12] mike126: i suggest you ignore disk check [12:12] KingKimi, using compiz? [12:12] the only reason I performed disk check was because the install wouldn't work [12:12] mechdave: ya you right, we dont need ndiswrapper probably [12:12] q_ yes , very much [12:12] mechdave how ?:) [12:12] mechdave: so ndiswrapper and b43 are 2 different things? [12:12] the Live CD GUI is messed up and clicking the install icon does nothing [12:12] Lundt, indus add the line blacklist ndiswrapper to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [12:12] KingKimi, what if you scroll on the desktop one step furthr as the first row? [12:13] mike126: I think you can access a text-based installer when you start the live-cd. I think you press one of the F-# keys to access extra options or something like that. Or maybe that's only with Debian. [12:13] bullgard4: usbcore is not a device on the usb bus is the core of the usb subsystem... usbfs is a virtualfilesystem like proc or sys that you can mount [12:13] is there an option to force dbus to use the same socket filename for every session? [12:13] indus, Lundt yes, ndiswrapper uses the win drivers [12:13] it's wierd though.. why would the GUI not work?! [12:13] mechdave: and wraps it around or something huhuhu [12:13] mike126, do you use it from CD or USB stick? [12:13] mike126: what problem do u get with live cd? [12:13] I have Kubuntu installed at the moment and it almost looks like that's what's causing the problem [12:13] Mechdave how do i do so i get permisson [12:14] q__, it sticking to the first row alone [12:14] from the CD [12:14] indus, yes that is so, sort of wraps up the windows drivers in a compatability layer [12:14] !sudo > Lundt [12:14] Lundt, please see my private message [12:14] KingKimi, and when you clock on the 2nd row in the taskbar applet? [12:14] mechdave: cant we just uninstall ndiswrapper [12:14] how can i get the output from apt-get install xxx to a file ? simple apt xxx > foo.txt will not work in this case [12:14] Lundt, use gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [12:15] q__ if i click on the cell "second row , third col" it just jumps to first row third column [12:15] the live CD the 'example' desktop icon is blank white and the install icon doesn't load up the install process [12:15] indus, not yet, I want to make sure this will work b4 we un install anything [12:15] KingKimi, strange :) [12:15] mechdave: kk kk [12:15] Mechdave: saved :) [12:15] indus, :) [12:15] mechdave: iam a little restless :) [12:15] anything I have installed on my hard drive right now should not effect the live CD environment though right? this is so confusing -_- [12:15] Lundt, Ok hang on for a sec, shall double check your list [12:16] mike126: yes mike it will not [12:16] hmm [12:16] Mechdave the ndswrapper is gone now [12:16] mike126: are you trying to install ubuntu ? [12:16] yes [12:16] mike126: select first option when live cd loads > did u get to that ? [12:16] !paste [12:16] 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) [12:16] Mechdave: http://paste.ubuntu.com/171494/ [12:17] Lundt, good, now is it working any better? [12:17] indus: that option is to try the Live version? [12:17] KingKimi, works for me [12:17] Mechdave , I can find 1 network [12:17] mechdave but not the one i made from my windows xp machine [12:17] mike126: yeah try ubuntu without any change to your computer , u see that? [12:17] yeah I'll try that then [12:17] KingKimi, STRG+DOWN does nothing? [12:17] I was selecting 'install ubuntu' option [12:18] mike126: noooooooo [12:18] KingKimi, STRG+ALT+DOWN [12:18] :) [12:18] Mechdave but i just tried from a other pc running win xp it cannot find it eaither [12:18] Is there a way to disable a laptop touchpad while typing? [12:18] either [12:18] q__ how does it work for you ? [12:18] Lundt, ndiswrapper is still at line 41 [12:18] q__, what is strg ? :( [12:18] indus: is that broken in this release then? [12:18] Mechdave but my wireless is working.. [12:18] mike126: no its not :) [12:18] ...?! [12:18] :D [12:18] mechdave , But i cant find the right network [12:18] q__, what key is strg ? [12:18] whatever I'll go try it and let you know what happens [12:18] =D [12:18] mike126: just making sure u select live cd environment [12:18] ok cool will do [12:18] KingKimi, just as a 4x4 setup would work. strg is ctrl, sry :) [12:18] KingKimi, Ctrl [12:18] Lundt, do lsmod | grep ndiswrapper [12:19] mechdave its working.. [12:19] Lundt: mechdave:what is working [12:19] Mechdave: I can find 1 network , but not the one i made with my wired windows xp [12:19] pc [12:20] Lundt: mechdave:so basically your wireless works but cant find the windows one? [12:20] q__, if i press ctrl alt down in 4*4 /.. the screen becomes flat with three workspaces appear as a straight strip :P :P :D [12:20] Indus: yes [12:20] Indus: But my other computer cant find it either [12:20] Lundt: maybe thats a windows config issue with wireless? [12:20] q__, evne in a 4*4 , i cant go to second row [12:20] Lundt, indus Ok was it an adhoc network? [12:20] anyone familiar with outlook and crossover/wine? [12:20] If anyone here is using the nvidia tool to manage multiple monitors, does it automatically revert to single display settings when you disconnect the second monitor? [12:20] Mechdave [12:21] Mechdave yes it tis [12:21] Lundt: mechdave:Lundt so does that mean your wireless was working before you came in here for help ??? [12:21] is' [12:21] is it possible to cchanage the ubuntu startup theme that shows ubuntu logo and a progress bar ? [12:21] Indus no [12:21] rhsanborn, on a running system not. restarting i dont know [12:21] Lundt: mechdave:phew thanks [12:21] :) [12:21] how to restart vsftpd service without system reboot? [12:21] how do i disable root? [12:21] Indus: At some point i got it to work :) But i kept explaining that i might was working , but i was like u didnt listen :) [12:22] i enabled it by doing the sudo passwd [12:22] q__, no way to go to second row ?? can you give any commands ? [12:22] Roland123: /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart perhaps. [12:22] Roland123: sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart [12:22] hi people! what is updatedb.mlocat? since I have turned my comp on, it has been consuming cpu resources :) [12:22] Mechdave , indus does anyone know how to make a wireless hotspot from a wired computer running windows xp:) [12:22] KingKimi, does not look like you had a problem with commands. I guess something alse is fucked up [12:23] Lundt: indus doesnt know :) [12:23] Lundt, indus I want to make sure that ndiswrapper is not running [12:23] sekyourbox: what exactly are you trying to archive? i believt it's impossible to get rid of the root user. [12:23] q__, is ccsm making problem ? [12:23] ewook, indus: 500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot open config file:restart [12:23] Mechdave , okay but will it might do so my wireless will stop working again ? [12:23] KingKimi, no idea [12:23] is it possible to cchanage the ubuntu startup theme that shows ubuntu logo and a progress bar ? [12:23] Roland123: did you sudo? [12:23] Roland123: u sure vsftp is installed [12:24] Lundt, indus nope, we won't be going near that part [12:24] i sudoed, and it's running [12:24] chaosphere: i think sekyourbox enabled logging in as root, and now wants to disable it again, like it is by default. I have no idea how to do that, though. [12:24] mechdave, okay tell me what to do :) [12:24] Alright, so I gots a problem. I had Arch installed on my desktop with ext4. The comp has died, and I'm trying to get all the files from the HD. Right now I'm running ubuntu 8.10 off a USB stick on my grandma's computer with my HD hooked up, but can't access it because my system "doesn't support ext4." Whats the best way of getting to my files? :/ [12:24] mechdave: Lundt:which part [12:24] Lundt, indus type sudo lsmod | grep ndiswrapper [12:24] how to to cchanage the ubuntu startup theme that shows ubuntu logo and a progress bar ? [12:24] or any sites that give such themes ? [12:25] chaosphere, in ubuntu the root user is disabled by default correct? basically i wan to reverse the sudo passwd command... [12:25] ndiswrapper 193436 0 [12:25] Lundt, indus that will search lsmod for ndiswrapper and if it is there it will return it to the command line [12:25] mechdave. [12:25] KingKimi: google is a good idea [12:25] indus, ok . i will google.. but methods to replace the exiting ubuntu logo and progress bar ? [12:25] Lundt, Ok I think we need to sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper [12:25] mechdave: Lundt:its loaded but not used by a device so its ok [12:25] sekyourbox: you want to remove root's password? [12:26] mechdave: Lundt:modprobe b43 no? [12:26] is it possible to view this irc channel using firefox ? [12:26] mechdave done [12:26] chaosphere, there wasnt one to begin with... [12:26] Lundt, indus I prefer to get rid of it altogether (ndiswrapper) [12:26] hi , everybody , is anayone here have an idea about samba??? Thank you [12:26] What does Canonical define as a "node" for Landscape? [12:26] Lundt, indus type sudo lsmod | grep ndiswrapper [12:26] !samba [12:26] sekyourbox: ok i see [12:26] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [12:26] KingKimi: yes there is a plugin for chat [12:26] Mechdave not running :) [12:26] mechdave good :) [12:27] Lundt, indus bewdy :) [12:27] indus, will you give the name or ask me to google that too ? :( [12:27] Lundt, indus ok can you see your network now? [12:27] i would like to be able to see my linux desktop on the internet...would VNC be a good choice ? [12:27] chaosphere, i needed to set it up for something temporarily, but it was "not recommended".. [12:27] mechdave: Lundt:how do u know its not running [12:27] mechdave , do u think i have to have a internet wire in the pc that is running hotspot ? [12:27] the sudo lsmod | grep ndiswrapper === elpargo_ is now known as elpargo [12:28] Lundt, I don't know, but it should still work even with rj45 plugged in [12:28] ?? [12:28] rj45 + [12:28] ? [12:28] mechdave: thanks mechdave === q__ is now known as cougarten2 [12:28] indus, I got Lundt to do a grep [12:28] enovativ: ubuntu has vino-server, a vnc server built in so VNC is a good way - just make sure its secure by using a VPN or tunnel over ssh [12:28] on "What" to google in order to find the way to open this channel in mozilla firefox ? [12:28] ubottu: thank you [12:28] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [12:28] KingKimi: You can use http://java.freenode.net/ in firefox to access the various channels on freenode, just enter your username and which channel to join [12:28] KingKimi: addons.mozilla.com [12:29] DJones, thankyou ! [12:29] indus: no good [12:29] Mechdave: rj45 ? [12:29] erUSUL: dmesg includes a line: "ohci_hcd 0000:00:0f:0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2." Is this produced by my module 'ohci1394'? [12:29] sekyourbox: you might be able to do it by editing /etc/shadow by hand. If you replace root's encrypted password with a !, it should work (I think). Then again, I'm not sure editing /etc/shadow by hand is a good idea. [12:29] mike126: why whats the error [12:29] Lundt, indus now I think you have a windows issue :) [12:29] Lundt, ethernet cable [12:29] Mechdave: im from denmark ;D [12:29] flintwingel: thanks ! [12:29] mechdave so :) [12:29] Lundt: i suggest you restart your windows PC [12:29] Mechdave [12:29] well I don't get an error - it loads up the GUI but the GUI looks all werid - the icons are strange and the windows styling is blue [12:29] hi. due to disk failure my /var/lib/apt/lists/* got corrupted... what are the files needed for? how can I restore them? [12:29] Lundt, I'm from Australia [12:30] + clicking the install icon doesn't do anything [12:30] so I tried to run ubiquity on the command line [12:30] Mechdave: I can find the Ad-hoc network from the pc running the hotspot. [12:30] error: core dumped [12:30] (apt fails complaining about merge lists something in one of the files there) [12:30] mike126: is your system ok in windows? [12:30] mechdave but not from any other [12:30] dent, you need to run sudo apt-get update [12:30] akirashinigami, would it be wise to just leave things alone... the password is secure [12:30] indus: yeah it's fine I'm runnin gin Kubuntu now [12:30] mechdave: it fails... can I delete them and update then? (they contain garbage) [12:30] indus: which version of ubuntu live cd u using? [12:31] sekyourbox: have a look at your /etc/shadow ('sudo cat /etc/shadow') so there is a a password fpr the root user(first line, second column. starting with $1$...)? [12:31] latest one I downloaded it from 2 separate mirrors [12:31] in the UK [12:31] Lundt, indus I think you might have a hotspot problem, maybe get the other windows machine to see it and then go from there === wolki_ is now known as wolki_work [12:31] mike126: which version of ubuntu [12:31] dent, I don't know what efect that will have [12:31] 9.04 [12:31] mike126: what speed u burned to cd [12:31] sekyourbox: I only say it may not be a good idea to edit /etc/shadow by hand because I've never done it, and it's where all the users' passwords are stored, so if you do something really really bad, you may not be able to log in to your system any more. [12:32] Mechdave: Do u know how a hotspot i created from windows xp ? or are u only a linux person :D [12:32] I don't know I did it automatically with K3b [12:32] mechdave: I truncated the file and update passed... let's see what happens. thanks anyway [12:32] mike126: wokay need to burn it at say 8 x speed manual [12:32] mike126: then if it doesnt work, we shall see further [12:32] that will make a difference?! [12:32] Mechdave: Should i try to connect to a hidden network ? [12:32] lol ok :D [12:32] mike126: yes mike its an operating system cd :) [12:33] Mechdave: from ubuntu pc [12:33] Lundt, I am only a Linux person, I don't know enough about windows, sorry [12:33] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad [12:33] oops keys [12:33] dent, no worries [12:33] Ubuntu is much easier than windows [12:33] anyone: Is there a way to disable a laptop touchpad while typing? [12:33] mechdave: u in uk? [12:33] and it lets you do what you want [12:33] Lundt, as long as you own it [12:33] akirashinigami: yes there is [12:34] indus, nope, Australia [12:34] let me check wait [12:34] Mechdave: i do :) [12:34] :D [12:34] * indus likes gold coast [12:34] Lundt, connect away my friend :) [12:34] MEchdave !!?! i can find it in connect to a hidden wireless . in the dropdown its there :O [12:34] Lundt: mechdave;its working now? [12:34] hmm i`m trying to remove firefox but i get a message that it`s running, how can i kill it ? ps aux | grep firefox dont find anything ... [12:34] Hey, when I lock screen, there's no password prompt to unlock it, even though my user has a password, how to I password-protect my screenlock? [12:34] >:o [12:35] qwert666: system>administration>system monitor processes kill [12:35] Lundt, indus you might have to type in the essid of the network to find it [12:35] sekyourbox: when yes make a backup of /etc/shadow and AFTER THAT edit this file with 'sudo vipw -s'. delete the password (between first and second ':') and put a '*' instead. [12:36] mechdave: information overload :D [12:36] indus: slowest it can do is 16x [12:36] Mechdave: it was in the dropdown. but it doesnt seem to connect. and i double checked the password.. [12:36] Lundt, indus hidden networks don't have a beacon therefore they can't be seen [12:36] :/ [12:36] sekyourbox: it should look like this then: 'root:*:13049:0:99999:7:' [12:36] indus: what writing mode should I have it set to? [12:36] Mechdave; it keeps popping up with a authentication.. [12:36] thx [12:36] mike126: ok hmm np then burn it at that speed [12:37] mike126: maybe your issue is something else [12:37] DAO/TAO/RAW ? [12:37] Mechdave: when it ask for a pass it automatically types in 6c756e6474 [12:37] Lundt, the first thing I do is remove all security from network and just try and do a straight connection, then later bring in the security [12:37] Okay, let me rephrase my question: How do I disable my laptop's touchpad while typing? [12:37] mike126: btw i burnt it at 48 x and it works fine :P [12:37] Lundt, replace it with the password [12:37] indus: should I be using writing mode DAO/TAO/RAW ? [12:37] which one?! [12:37] :( [12:37] indus: nothing there ... ps aux | grep firefox would show me if it would be soo easy :) i think that some lib is used from firefox and thats why i can`t remove it ... [12:38] Hello ! [12:38] mike126, do you have kubuntu already installed and want to switch to gnome? [12:38] qwert666: ok can u log out ? [12:38] bazhang: old version of kubuntu [12:38] indus, we are trying to connect Lundt to a network which is hidden' [12:38] swoke : hi [12:38] !! [12:38] mike126, which version [12:38] dunno can't remember [12:38] swoke : where are you conutry??? [12:39] horny hippo maybe?

[12:39] Lundt, how are you going? [12:39] Linuxerson: France [12:39] mike126, you can update kubuntu then add ubuntu-desktop [12:39] mechdave: Lundt: isnt that something which has to be done from wndows? [12:40] yeah that's gross I'm not updating [12:40] that's a whole world of pain [12:40] ubottu ndiswrapper [12:40] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:40] mike126, please stop with the language [12:40] ubottu prex [12:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about prex [12:40] akirashinigami: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/09/20/disable-touchpad-temporarily-when-typing/ [12:40] will help with ur issue [12:40] indus, not when you are trying to connect Ubuntu to the network :) [12:40] hmm [12:41] this is strange why the live CD isn't working [12:41] mechdave: so what he needs to do?

[12:42] akirashinigami: you are welcome :) [12:42] indus, and then put it all back on again, that will tell us if the card is ok or not [12:42] mechdave: hmm doesnt jaunty sniff for all kinds of wireless [12:42] indus: any more clues where should i start to search ?

Is there a "proper" way to make sure it does not cause problems? Did you have to change your grub map to make sure it works? I also thought using uiid should prevent any problems caused by drive swapping. [13:55] axisys, tracepath doesn't work either. [13:56] lat: try mtr [13:56] lat: or sudo apt-get install traceroute [13:56] <_PiLoT_> anyone know of an internet traffic meter similar to netmeter for windows [13:56] vertix I ran a boot partition and had both primary ide and sata pointing to the boot [13:58] Jack_Sparrow, that's exactly the way I have it, except i have 2 separate /boot partitions, one for each drive. Do you see any problems with it? Someone said yesterday this could be a problem of my box not booting 8.10, which i could not boot to this day === rajesh is now known as Guest46294 [13:58] axisys and ranf, mtr works. Thanks! [13:58] <_PiLoT_> anyone know of an internet traffic meter similar to netmeter for windows [13:58] Jack_Sparrow, another thing, do you know if i need to add initrd.img to grub config make sure it boots?

[14:01] hi..does anyone know if there is a channel for Rhythmbox? I need some support [14:01] So I formatted my hard drive yesterday, I split it into 3 partions. I formatted one using NTFS and install windows XP. I turned one into swap space. And then the 3rd I formatted with Ext2 and installed Ubuntu. Now when my PC loads I get the option to choose what OS to use. However it automatically selects ubuntu and I want XP to be automatic. Please help? [14:01] KingKimi ctrl - alt left or right arrow? [14:01] Jack_Sparrow i wanna ask if my sources.lists can contain illegal packet sources [14:01] Jack_Sparrow, EXACTLY the right idea. that is what i was thinking generally regarding grub: whenever it has to do such lethal things as modifying partitions or boot sectors it MUST do a backup as a default and tell user where it put it or ask where he wants to put it [14:01] Jack_Sparrow, not working :( [14:02] <_PiLoT_> btw i am loving the new build of this [14:02] jack_parrow is tat possible?

[14:22] _PiLoT_: System Monitor will give you network rate and total data volume but only for your current session [14:22] Issa, Xfce, Fluxbox, LXDE [14:23] daybreak69: can u do ctl-alt-backspace [14:23] indus: ok [14:23] indus: still low resolution [14:24] daybreak69: it says starting in low graphics mode? [14:24] indus: no [14:24] indus: but it's seems like it is [14:24] indus: because of the low resolution [14:24] daybreak69, indus: have you tried xrandr to see what the system thinks the monitor is capable of - tell me to shut up if you've done this already :) [14:24] daybreak69:glxinfo | grep rendering [14:25] Dr_Willis, tbtroj thanks .. I am running ubuntu server on virtualbox so I can develop using linux server in windows. so I need to have "scrollable" command line terminal and perhaps can run more than one terminal at a time, and save memory at the same time, so a light Desktop can provide that, but I want to choose the best. Xfce is not as light as the others I suppose, I tried fluxbox before, what do you think of the rest in comparison? [14:25] is there a better driver for ATI 200m integrated video then what ubuntu 9.04 installs by default. last time I installed catalyst on this it crashed my system and had to reinstall and I dont know how to install from ati's web site,,, im a noob and can only get .deb files to run at moment :) [14:25] flintwingel: no you can go on flint cos i havent tried it [14:25] indus: it's writing some strange stuff [14:26] daybreak69: ya tell me that strange stuff [14:26] indus: Xlib: extemsion "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

Anyone know how to fix this? [14:59] pronoy, if yes = file bug report [14:59] normie_:you got to locate it at the terminal and see if they exist in your system,if you know their names you could typ at the terminal locate |less and see the output,maybe they are installed except they were disabld by nivdia.try that then tp [14:59] sacarlson: i gtg ill be online in 15 min from home [14:59] Does it regardless of resolution.

[15:01] S34l-Clvbb3r: as i said, this screwed emerald and the whole effects....i think my drivers are deselected man...... [15:01] nobody wants to help me :'( [15:01] S34l-Clvbb3r: and that screwed awn too [15:01] Vinceman: if you're a regular user and make a dir in root it's in your users dir, <<< error parsing this can you rephrase ? === sean is now known as Guest8950 [15:01] or you can sudo chmod your folder Vinceman [15:01] man chmod to see how to manage rights [15:01] oh let me try that aftertaf [15:01] :) [15:02] pronoy, yes that will disable all of those, as they rely on compiz [15:02] pronoy, but did your video improve? [15:02] S34l-Clvbb3r: gimme a min..... [15:02] aftertaf: the installation file already has -rwxr-xr-x [15:03] _PiLoT_: i think gkrellm might be able to do what you're after, but with a better interface. I've just tried it on a wireless interface and it remembers traffic counts over disconnect & reboot so it should work for modem [15:03] S34l-Clvbb3r: no success [15:03] so its readable for all and full access for the user that created it and [15:03] S34l-Clvbb3r: same issue [15:03] Vinceman: what do you want to achieve? [15:03] erUSUL, I guess it just didn't make the dir, I was confused with the instal dir [15:03] just install Seamonkey === alice2 is now known as daffidity [15:03] <_PiLoT_> gkrellm [15:03] <_PiLoT_> thank you spo much [15:04] and if you apt-get install it ? [15:04] why would an installation file need mod 777? [15:04] aftertaf? [15:04] pronoy, at least we have eliminated compiz as the cause ;) [15:04] S34l-Clvbb3r: hehe......yeah :) [15:04] pronoy, ok, you know how to get it back again right? [15:04] S34l-Clvbb3r: yeah no problem [15:05] pronoy, cos im going to have to leave you soonish, as its 7am here and im quite drunk :p [15:05] S34l-Clvbb3r: no problem man [15:05] Vinceman: youve downlaoaded an installation file for seamonkey....? What type? a tarball, a deb ? [15:05] pronoy, ok, well sorry that didnt narrow down the prob, but Gl man ;) [15:05] tar.gz [15:05] Hey guys i got a question that some noobs are having trouble hwo do i make a keyboard shortcut for emotying in the trash bin? on the new ubuntu [15:06] S34l-Clvbb3r: thanks..gl with catching up with soberity :) [15:06] Vinceman: so why not use apt-get to install a package instead ? [15:06] sudo apt-get install seamonkey [15:06] will I get the latest version? [15:06] pronoy, what happens when you try to play the file with a different player === joeDeuce is now known as []D[][]V[][]D [15:07] i think so [15:07] <_PiLoT_> downloading now [15:07] latest enough to be recent :) [15:07] <_PiLoT_> and it works your a star [15:07] aftertaf, well because it said in the seamonkey browser itself that a newer version was available and downloadable as tarball === []D[][]V[][]D is now known as joeDeuce [15:08] or you extract the tarball : tar xvzf yourfile.tar.gz [15:08] and you run the install file with sudo....? what does the README say ? [15:08] what's different from apt-get install and running ./seamonkey-installer? [15:08] apt will download the ubuntu package and install it automatically [15:09] I get: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 18 not upgraded. [15:09] the tarball is basically the (not 100% accurate) source code and a script to compile it yourself [15:09] Vinceman: type sudo apt-get -f install [15:09] or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [15:10] I already am at Jaunty now [15:10] hi everyone [15:10] guys I wonder if you could help me: I've been running SFTP for a while now and , today, wanted to try Rhythmbox. When I found out it could not stream music over SFTP someone on that channel suggested I remove the gstreamer plugin for gnome-vfs. I did this and now cannot access my SFTP at all, even through Nautilus. Can someone please help me restore accessibility to SFTP?

But there are 30 people in the admionistration. Do i have to build every dekstop by hand or can i just replicate ( copy) something over in every one their home dir ? [15:11] Hey people! I've been trying to get linux working well for about a week now. With every installation (I have tried Xubuntu, Ubuntu (9.04 and 8.04), Kubutnu (9.04 and 8.04)) the flash videos on youtube or other flash sites are juddering, and any 3D game I install (through the repositories) runs abismally (I usually test with torcs even on lowest graphics settings) next to 3d games on windows (I run quake 3 in high detail no problems [15:11] ). I also think all of the desktop effects are slower than they should be. Could anyone help me? [15:11] !flood [15:11] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[15:15] both times timed out when logging in [15:15] or do you need the programming program to compile? [15:16] Vinceman: you don't compile tarballs.

I've been trying to migrate to linux for a week now [15:23] Hello there. I have a question. I need to optimize the space in my HDD. Is there any utility like 'defrag' in Ubuntu/Linux that I can use? [15:23] sipior: nothing is happening here [15:23] the propriatary driver? [15:23] Hey guys. I installed the kubuntu-desktop package over my Ubuntu (gnome) 9.04 installation a few weeks ago. A couple days ago I noticed the bootup splashscreen said "Kubuntu" instead of "Ubuntu" so I used the " sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so" command and changed the default artwork from kubuntu to Ubuntu. However today when I booted up I saw the Kubuntu splashscreen again. And after entering that same command in terminal I saw that the [15:23] UBUNTU artwork was set as default so I dont understand why the Kubuntu one loaded up. Any ideas? Thanks [15:23] my nautilus thumbnails are all the document loading clock png. anyone know what i might do to change this? [15:24] mikebeecham: if you're logged into the mac mini, can you connect using sftp to localhost? (sftp @localhost) [15:24] code-shah: good luck [15:24] ralmar: you have to update the initramfs [15:24] :) [15:24] tommacco: i've been told that's no use with the radeon 9200 cos it's too old.. [15:24] i'll try it tho [15:24] mhall119|work: I've never had to set up ssh before, but Ubuntu has always named the conection sftp [15:24] darnit, I did apt-get install udev-extras., when I plug in the usb modem it is apparently supposed to mount as zerocd device [15:24] john: don't bother [15:24] Hello there. I have a question. I need to optimize the space in my HDD. Is there any utility like 'defrag' in Ubuntu/Linux that I can use? [15:24] mikebeecham: sftp is FTP over an SSH connection [15:24] mhall119|work, sorry, I dont know what that is or how to do it... [15:24] ralmar: apt-get install startup-manager [15:25] crdlb: don't bother installing the driver or migrating :) [15:25] can i very quickly get someone to say my name..i'm just testing something out [15:25] that will let you change the boot splash, and rebuild your initramfs for you [15:25] john: the former :) [15:25] YaManicKill: [15:25] How's that? [15:25] Vxn: perfect :) thanks [15:25] =]\ [15:25] mhall119|work: ok cool...well it's been working up until about half an hour ago...I can see the Mac Mini icon within 'network' on Ubuntu, but when I double-click it, I cant access anything. The only thing that changed is that I uninstalled the gmstreamer plugin for gnomevfs, then reinstalled it [15:25] mhall119|work, it seems that package doesnt exist with that name... [15:26] Hello there. I have a question. I need to optimize the space in my HDD. Is there any utility like 'defrag' in Ubuntu/Linux that I can use? [15:26] ralmar: startupmanager then? [15:26] ralmar: sudo update-initramfs [15:26] francesco_, define optimize? [15:26] john: the linux version of flash is just slow in general, and the radeon driver is not very good at 3d (though that will improve eventually ...) [15:26] mhall119|work: if I right click on the icon and choose 'permissions' I can see "the permissions of "Sftp" could not be determined" [15:26] I need a hand with repartitioning. I know I have 50gigs of free space on my drive, but since I unmounted the disk, it isn't showing the free space. Any ideas? [15:26] ralmar: or, from the command line just run: sudo update-initramfs [15:27] I'm installying 9.04 hopefully [15:27] francesco_, gparted [15:27] crdlb: right.... so this is it for my linux experience with this computer? [15:27] john: did you turn compiz off? [15:27] dooner: My PC seems very slow. I need to erase some "crap". What can I do? Does exist something like 'defrag' or 'scandisk' undel Linux? [15:27] john: how would I know that? :) [15:27] gparted? [15:27] francesco_: one rarely needs to defrag ext2/3 filesystems.. I have never had to in 10+ years [15:27] crdlb: :P [15:27] mhall119|work, yeah I just ran that.. now what? It should be a ton of parameters/options... [15:27] thanks btw [15:27] crdlb: yeah compiz is off [15:27] francesco_, linux fs never fragment [15:28] francesco_: Generally, you don't _need_ to defgrament ext2/ext3. As for scandisk, it's called 'fsck' in Unix. [15:28] crdlb: grr ok well at least i know which graphics card to get if i upgrade ever :) [15:28] arvind_khadri: well, that's not true... [15:28] ralmar: sorry, "sudo initramfs -k all" [15:28] arvind_khadri: They _do_ fragment. Only that happens less often than, say, on FAT32. [15:28] ralmar: simpler than that; sudo update-usplash-theme ubuntu will do all the pieces [15:28] Ok, How can I erase temporary files that I don't need? How can I look for the files that I don't need? === iratiku is now known as iratik [15:28] hi [15:28] Vxn; You might see what the latest Parted Magic finds http://partedmagic.com/ if you haven't already [15:28] francesco_: extra stuff thats not running.. wont slow down your linux box. :) things that are running.. might. [15:28] francesco_: ext3 file systems becomes slow when they are very full. free up some room if that is the case [15:28] francesco_: uninstalling things won't necessarily make Ubuntu run faster [15:28] sacarlson: hi [15:28] sipior, compared to Win fs , we can neglect the amount [15:28] platius: I'm running on a live CD, will that work with a live instance? [15:29] sacarlson: did he solve that nvidia issue? [15:29] Dr_Willis: Do you mean spyware? [15:29] grawity, ya [15:29] arvind_khadri: most of the time, yes. [15:29] francesco_: Huh? [15:29] francesco_: no spyware for Ubuntu [15:29] sipior, and as in usual cases fsck runs after 28 boots or so, that defrag is removed if any [15:29] francesco_, we don't have that yet either :) [15:29] arvind_khadri: unless you get up to >90% full of your FS [15:29] What are these things running that could make my OS slower? [15:30] Vxn; You would boot into the parted magic cd and if you can repartion then reboot into live CD. A lot of work though. [15:30] francesco_: It is normally not "crap" that slows down ubuntu, but rather some specific program which eats memory, faulty drivers or something like that. [15:30] francesco_: run 'top' in terminal or open system monitor to check what's eating cpu [15:30] francesco_: could be any number of things. Might not even be running programs. What do you mean when you say it runs slow? [15:30] sipior: is that a command to type into the mac terminal [15:30] arvind_khadri: fsck does not defrag filesystems. [15:30] platius: True, I don't think it's usually this difficult to resize a windows partition. Do you know of any other way? [15:30] indus: no I just installed what you said but I still come up with the nv driver. I guess I still have to edit the Xorg.conf [15:31] francesco_: when did it start "running slow", what are you running now? [15:31] Vxn, the installer does this [15:31] mhall119|work: I mean that mozilla has become a little shower noe. [15:31] sipior, ok [15:31] crdlb: so how would i get to a place where flash videos ran at good speeds? [15:31] mhall119|work, sladen Thanks. That startupmanager looks sweet. Nice streamlined options [15:31] indus: yeah, i'm here. i'm just installed 9.04 [15:31] francesco_: if it's just mozilla, it could be an extension consuming too much memory [15:31] crdlb: more ram? [15:31] When I try to watch videos in Youtube. [15:31] does it get better if you close Mozilla and reopen it? [15:31] daybreak69: heya [15:31] crdlb: more compatible graphics card? [15:32] indus: i will install now the driver again [15:32] mikebeecham: yes. [15:32] francesco_: start by clearing up your browser cache [15:32] indus: hope it's will work [15:32] how can i actually view the contents of an open ssl server certificate? [15:32] ralmar: no problem [15:32] ok...sec [15:32] I don't know. My PC is a little old. That could be the problem. [15:32] daybreak69: :) me too [15:32] how can i actually view the contents of an open ssl server certificate? human readable i mean..? [15:32] franceso_: do you have any flash support libs installed? [15:32] john: an alternate reality where adobe made a good flash player for linux [15:32] remoteCTRL1: on Ubuntu? [15:32] is there a way to write to another user in a terminal - that does not send information about the sender? "write" does send info.. [15:32] francesco_: mozilla is slow compared to...? [15:32] ranf: The problem is that the installer isn't showing up the 50 gigs of free space on my disk [15:32] mhall119|work: aye [15:32] armada: Don't know. [15:32] Vxn; not sure why the live cd doesn't work. I have had success using the parted magic cd in different types of situations [15:32] francesco_: use this: sudo apt-get remove --purge libflashsupport flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [15:32] Hey guys i got a question that some noobs are having trouble hwo do i make a keyboard shortcut for emotying in the trash bin? on the new ubuntu [15:32] ienorand: Mozilla is slow now compared to the past. [15:32] remoteCTRL1: I think openssl can print the contents in a terminal window, not sure what flags [15:32] crdlb: grrrr stubid adobe. In the uk i watch tv online through flash [15:33] too late now, but does anyone know if its possible to pair a modern logitech mouse to its dongle in linux...they have no connect buttons and rely on software only for win/osx to pair... [15:33] crdlb: thanks for helping [15:33] mhall119|work: errr... man pages then, thanks*g* [15:33] francesco_: if clearing the cache helps, then decrease the chache size to keep the speed improved. [15:33] armada: Probably if I have an old computer I shouldn't update my OS. What do you think? [15:33] remoteCTRL1: man pages are your friend [15:33] francesco_: are you on 64bit? [15:33] francesco_: how old? in MHz? [15:33] francesco_: depends on the upgrade [15:33] I have a Pentium IV AMD. [15:34] platius: Ah. I can use parted magic as a live cd though? [15:34] 2 GHz. [15:34] that's not old [15:34] sipior: yes, sftp on the mac works fine...I was able to log in [15:34] hi people i get this message when i start up the message says, Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxx-xxx-xx does not exist [15:34] so issue is with Ubuntu somewhere [15:34] Shaun, i've never had an issues with any of my logitechs just plain working. Is it bluetooth? [15:34] does anyone know how to fix this? [15:34] francesco_: I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on a P4 1.6GHz [15:34] Vxn: did windows shut down cleanly last time you used it? are you using compression on the windows partition? [15:34] dooner: nope, just 2.4GHz [15:34] francesco_: "pentium" is an intel product line, either you have that or a product by amd [15:34] mhall119|work: Do you always update your OS when you can? [15:34] Vxn, 50G free on NTFS partition or unpartitioned space? [15:34] ahhhh sipior [15:34] mikebeecham: is your mini running the os x firewall? can you verify that incoming ssh connections are permitted? [15:35] francesco_: yes [15:35] hi [15:35] logging into sftp on mac, seems to have sorted the linux [15:35] Vxn; never done that so I don't know. [15:35] mhall119|work: Does it cause you problems? [15:35] flintwingel: Yeah, it did shut down cleanly, and no compression as far as I know. It stopped showing the free NTFS space when I unmounted it [15:35] francesco_: sometimes, but not often [15:35] hello, can anyone help me, got a question on setting up ubuntu9.04 [15:35] francesco_: did that command remove any libs? [15:35] ranf: It's free space on an NTFS partition [15:35] sipior: thanks SO much for your help! [15:35] armada: I didn't try. [15:35] guys could you tell me how to create rule with iPtables? if i get ping i need to respond only if it comes from local network ? [15:35] upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 changed my drivers around, and I had to change some setting to get 3d performance back to where it should be [15:35] mikebeecham: glad you have it working [15:35] What are these libs that I should remove? [15:36] Shaun, hmm both my wireless laser with dongle, and my little travel laser mouse,just worked? have you tried it? do you get anything in dmesg showing it being detected ? [15:36] sipior: me too...can I assume that it will auto mount on boot up? [15:36] kara: nobody can tell until you asked that question [15:36] francesco_: try it, those packages have been notorious for making firefox unstable [15:36] dooner: same, they're usually paired already, but not this time...i did have a bluetooth set but got sick of the weird issues that developed, like not connecting on boot every time, double keying after sleep, losing connectivity after bluez updates, kbluetooth not supporting the new bluez anywhere near as good as gnomes applet [15:36] Whats the ubuntu package to connect to a postgres db? [15:36] Repeat me the command please armada. [15:36] hi people i get this message when i start up the message says, Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxx-xxx-xx does not exist [15:37] francesco_: sudo apt-get remove --purge libflashsupport flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [15:37] anyone? [15:37] ah right psql [15:37] i want to encrypt my ubuntu with dualboot vista, in partition-dialog on ubuntu install i have to edit partitions manually? i cant get to the lvm-physically container for encryption dialog? howto do this? [15:37] mikebeecham: well, there's nothing extra to mount, really. it's just transferring files via ssh. you should certainly test your system to verify that the setup survives a reboot, however. [15:37] dooner: yeah my vx nano laptop mouse worked out of the box, this mx1100 didnt..dmesg detected it and set it up as a mouse, but i had to go to windows to pair it to the dongle, was quite annoying [15:37] kara: this may help http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_dm_crypt_luks [15:37] indus: damn, it's still low graphics mode!! >_< [15:38] daybreak69: hehe [15:38] armada: I have another problem you could help me with. I have some problems with some PDF files. Some big PDF files are very hard to open, when I do, Ubuntu gets very slow. What could it be? [15:38] Morning. I just did an aptitude update, and I noticed something strnage in the current status: 1 update, 806 new [+13]. Are there 806 new packages or just 13 new? [15:38] daybreak69: have u installed the drivers? [15:38] Mazugrazus: did you look at firestarter it might make it easyer to figure out. if it won't set it up perfect maybe just modifiy it from there. [15:38] thx flintwingel , i will take a look [15:38] hello [15:38] indus: yeah [15:38] does anyone know how to use vdownmix plugin for alsa? (downmixer) [15:38] daybreak69: hardware drivers status?

[15:39] ya coo; [15:39] cool [15:39] I've downloaded them from the internet. They are big, and it seems that Ubuntu gets slower when it tries to load them. What do you think?

The installer can do this [15:41] hi! did anyone get constant crashes of video and audio players on 9.04 ? [15:41] daybreak69: probably wont work but worth a try [15:41] They are manuals of something I am interested in. These manuals have been scanned and converted into these pdf files. Some of them are very slow to load. Could they be damaged? [15:41] redwood: virtualbox has a 'shared' directory feature. you can enable in the configs. then load the guest addations, and mount the 'shared directory' [15:41] ranf: I'm going to give it another go mate, I'll get back to you if it doesn't happen [15:41] daybreak69: i think u didnt restart pc after installing nvidia??

I feel lost right now. [15:52] it says "device not managed" [15:52] What's a good RSS reader for Firefox that's not crap? Foxmarks hogs the cpu for several seconds when it updates, so I'd say it's crap. You also can't search with it... [15:52] i am completely new to this [15:52] probably no driver [15:53] ranf: Mate, so do I. I think I might just forget the dual boot thing and get rid of windows [15:53] but earlier it worked [15:53] :( [15:53] ranf: I'm so fed up of trying to keep windows.. [15:53] Might just let it go [15:53] i am using pppeo to connect to internet [15:53] see all connections are correct [15:53] why u need ppp. just use dsl.

[15:54] ranf: In the house, yeah. [15:54] i tried but it is not connecting [15:54] Helloo Guys [15:54] aah [15:54] what isp [15:54] Vxn, I think that eases the decision. [15:54] john:u need to install package alien from synaptic [15:54] !alien [15:54] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [15:54] sipior: It's not for firefox, it's a web application. I need one that's a local program because I have internal RSS feeds at work that Reader can't get to. [15:54] Ho To augmente the performance and reliability of ubuntu Jaunty [15:55] Piet: but i was told to create one filesystem for each one... and something about web 1 [15:55] iam in india using the bsnl dataone broadband [15:55] john: why in the world would you install the *RPM* from ATI? [15:55] ranf: Aye, does a bit, doesn't it. I'll give one last try at making another partition. If that fails, it's goodbye to windows. [15:55] so, did anyone experienced constant audio crashes on Jaunty? [15:55] i have adsl modem connected through wrt54g router [15:55] me too on bsnl and it working nice [15:55] indus: don't work either [15:55] Ho To augmente the performance and reliability of ubuntu Jaunty [15:55] john: Ubuntu doesn't use RPM. also, Ubuntu comes with ATI drivers [15:55] luist: ok, so where does web 1 come into play there? [15:55] daybreak69: right now how is the display set up? [15:55] LjL: i'm trying to get flash/3d games to work on linux somewhere near how they do on windoze [15:55] luist: do you want to provide the url where you read this? [15:55] Vxn; parted magic is just a 93mb download and it is a nice to have. You might try it before getting rid of windows. [15:56] john: installing an RPM of system software is not the way to do that. it's the way to utterly break your system. [15:56] !ati > john (john, see the private message from ubottu) [15:56] platius: Does it work on windows? [15:56] also, at the same time audio broke virtualbox started to fail closing imagesproperly [15:56] Ljl: ooo [15:56] Piet: I've found it, i'm going to try it. [15:56] john: if you really want to install the proprietary driver you would have to go back to ubuntu 6.10, which is no longer supported (or 6.06 which is only supported for another month) [15:56] indus: right now i connect it again with the VGA cable [15:56] indus: to ubuntu pc [15:56] A Black screen when im log to my PC [15:56] poopoo [15:56] Just boot into it, it is very sraight forward to use.

[15:57] daybreak69: dvi? [15:57] firestarter [15:57] indus: VGA [15:57] coldboot: looks like you're stuck googling for "rss", "firefox" and "app" :-) [15:57] john: no, you'd be using the same driver on all of them [15:57] oh. [15:57] platius: Boot into it while using linux you mean? I'm a bit confused [15:57] yes chillgates it was worked earlier with interpid [15:57] now what is wrong [15:57] thanks for the help!

[16:12] tatters: i though the virtualbox in the repos has usb 'disabled' You need virtualbox from the vbox homepage for it to work. (and ive not messed with the usb stuff in ages in vbox, i recall it was a pain but i did get it working) [16:12] sliwek: i would think you just need to fix your mixer settings [16:13] the one from the vbox repos === marceloa is now known as zxd_ === zxd_ is now known as zxd__ [16:13] who wanted to install Truecrypt? [16:13] you [16:13] appart from me :) [16:13] tatters: what problems are you having with the usb stuff? [16:13] I did i [16:13] t [16:13] hacktolive: thats something I wouldnt know how to handle [16:14] piet: I`ve tested all output devices in mixer and none seems to play in speakers, still headphones works on few outputs but no speakers [16:14] thanks anyway elisboa... [16:14] Sorry my mistake I have added vbox site to my source list [16:14] sliwek: make sure you have all the mixers available that you need, it's possible that you need to activate more in the mixer preferences, so you can actually access and unmute them [16:14] The devices are seen by the virtual machine but they refuse to power on [16:15] piet: brb, gonna check them out now [16:15] hea guys i have a question i just got a new videocard and when i put it in it dosent show the screen when i put it in [16:15] what setting do i need to put in dhclient.conf to request a specific address from the dhcp server? === ubuser_ is now known as ubuser [16:15] melter: I don't think that's something the dhcp protocol can do.. I'm not sure though [16:15] ummh [16:15] sliwek: i was referrint to "mixer tracks" actually, not mixers [16:15] tatters: i recall having to enable the usb devvices in the vbbox configs.. then while the OS was running in vbox having to use the menus again .. (this was just a thumbdrive i used ages ago) === ip is now known as Guest92960 [16:15] anyone have any ideas? === Guest92960 is now known as TSorcerer [16:16] Slart: dhcpcd can do it using -s, so i know it's possible [16:16] Slart: DHCP_INFORM [16:16] anyone in here know how to get video card to work correctly? [16:16] e-machine,vista not shutting down [16:17] melter: interesting.. let me do some reading.. [16:17] melter, maybe you could look at the fixed-address option? [16:17] Help with keeping audio/digital checked. it resets on reboot. [16:17] SirErugor: isn't that for static ips? [16:17] melter, it is used to set the ip address of a particular lease.. but yeah, I think so [16:17] melter: you want a cirtain computer to be setup as a static address from dhcp? I know you can setup dhcpd to go by mac address to fix an address. [16:18] Using alsa mixer [16:18] hiya [16:18] bob__ this can have a lot of reasons, it's hard to tell without further information [16:18] sacarlson: no, not a fixed ip, and i don't control the dhcp server [16:18] what do you need to know? [16:19] bob__ make sure the video card is properly seated in a compatible slot (e.g. no in a pcie 1x slot when the card needs a 8x) [16:19] whats the command to view size of ramfs ? I created a ramdisk but doesnt show up on df command [16:19] ok one sec [16:19] SirErugor: i'll play around with fixed-address and see what happens [16:20] any way to get a decent rez out of an nvidia card without messing about editing config files in a text editor? [16:20] e-machine is new,ubuntu shuts it down [16:20] melter, I think I misread what you wanted to do because I looked at the dhclient.conf manual ;) hehe [16:20] SirErugor: that's what i've been doing, too [16:21] melter, maybe I didn't misunderstand you then.. hehe [16:22] bob__: if it still does not work, remove the card, start the system with onboard video (if you have any), enter bios and set your primary display adapter to the onboard chip (there should be some option allowing you to do so). this way, if the system cannot use the video card in the slot, it should use the onboard one, and you should at least be able to see some messages on screen [16:22] hi all [16:22] piet: i`ve unmuted all available opyions in mixer and still nothin` [16:22] Hey guys. Sorry to disturb you but i got a serious problem running World of Warcraft online game. Untill now, no problem but recently impossible to launche the game: "error 132: memory could not be read". Anyone knows about any solution please? [16:22] ok Piet it my mother board is compatable and i had it seated correctly.. [16:22] i tried to upgrade from gutsy to hardy on amd64: update-alternatives: internal error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/lft corrupt: invalid update mode [16:22] i have kmod nvidia installed already should i uninstall it?? [16:22] how can i keep audio/digital output checked(alsa mixer). resets on reboot [16:23] sliwek: hmm, then use lsmod to determine which sound card driver you are using and lspci to determine your sound card chipset, and search the internet for known issues with this chipset and driver. [16:23] melter, another thing you could try is to use the reject declaration.. then reject the subnet you don't want an IP from.. maybe? [16:23] Hello Guys, I went ahead an kept my settings, rebooted the computer and I'm now a happy Jackalope, but some of my friends call me worse ;) [16:23] piet: K thnx [16:23] melter: can you use a "supersede option dhcp-requested-address" in the client configuration? [16:24] bob__: what do you mean by "it my mother board is compatable"? [16:24] how do i become root im having probblems doing it [16:24] the card is compatable with the motherboard [16:24] !sudo | bob__ [16:24] bob__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [16:24] bob__: 'sudo -s' or 'sudo -i' also.. depending on your needs. [16:25] !gksudo [16:25] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [16:25] k thanks again but now back to the card [16:25] should i uninstalll kmod nvidia b4 i install the newa card? === ubuser_ is now known as ubuser [16:26] melter: this looks promising.. https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-users/2006-June/000935.html [16:27] hey i know this is not the place...but its happening in ubntu...i try to run exec fluxbox but it keeps on saying not able to connect to Xserver [16:27] Is there a channel especially for ubuntu-powerpc? [16:27] bob__: you don't need to, the x server will realize that something else is installed and that it needs to try a different driver. that is, unless you have manually configured X to use nvidia [16:27] !ppc [16:27] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [16:27] i dont think i have [16:27] whats the command to view size of ramfs ? I created a ramdisk but doesnt show up on df command [16:28] Slart: And now add a hilight, and everyone is happy =) [16:28] There has been a resource intensive process running on my laptop (Jaunty) for the last 3 hours. Any ideas what this might be, or what logs I can check to find out? [16:28] caros, preciso de ajuda para instalar minha impressora [16:28] how do i uninstall kmod nvidia just incase [16:28] bob__: did you power off before connecting the new card? also, when you have the new card connected, does it seem like the system still boots, do you see any text on screen, like what the bios prints? [16:28] kixx: "top" would generally show the culprit process. [16:29] nothing [16:29] alguém poderia me ajudar? [16:29] i dont see anything when i boot up [16:29] I'm trying to pass arguments to time... but whatever I try, it just says it can't find the command, example (from man!!) time -f "%E real,%U user,%S sys" ls -Fs [16:29] How can I get it to work? [16:29] bob__: ok, you answered question 2, now answer question 1, too [16:29] !es | marcelo [16:29] marcelo: 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. [16:29] spm_Draget: bah.. =) [16:29] yea i turend it off....

[16:30] bob__: if you do not even see the bios text, it must be a hardware issue [16:31] ifrebug [16:31] ok [16:31] but still [16:31] bob__: this is not related to ubuntu, any other operating system would not work either. [16:31] daybreak69: hi [16:31] daybreak69: now my graphics are messed up :) [16:31] sipior: thanks, it looks like w3m [16:32] hello people [16:32] but still i would like to know how to remove it [16:32] marcelo: is there an error or don't you know where to start? [16:32] anybody know what w3m is in running process list? [16:32] kixx: commandline browser [16:32] kixx: it's a text-based web browser [16:32] bob__: i suggest you recheck your graphics cards' hardware installation guide and set your bios settings to failsafe/compatible mode [16:33] how do i do that [16:33] Hi ^^ [16:33] anyone knows anything about HP scanners [16:33] !anyone [16:33] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [16:33] for ubuntu? [16:34] Guayiyo: i plugged mine in.. it worked... :) [16:34] sipior: VCoolio: thanks. That can'be be eating all my resources... I'll keep checking. [16:34] bob__: how to remove the nvidia module depends on how you installed it. if it is a package, then you remove the package, if you installed using the nvidia installer, then use that to uninstall iut, too [16:34] can anyone tell me how to uninstall a program? please [16:34] like kmod nvidia [16:34] bob__: how did you Install it? [16:34] i want it gone [16:34] i know there use to be a way to keep items on different desktops from displaying. [16:34] bob__: sudo apt-get remove [16:34] ok [16:34] kixx: which resources? memory? cpu cycles? hard disk space? [16:34] hi [16:34] bob__: add a --purge if you want to remove config files and such too [16:35] cables are firmly pluged, have x-sane, hplip [16:35] help. my ubuntu is slow [16:35] daybreak69: hi [16:35] got a slow ubuntu [16:35] i guess no one [16:35] hola [16:36] buna [16:36] ill be right back [16:36] things are sluggish and laggy most of the time [16:36] whats wrong with my ubtunu? [16:36] Guayiyo: and you're running ubuntu 5.04 16bit version on an old macintosh? [16:36] sipior: memory, cpu cycles, constant disk read/write. it has slowed the responsiveness of the system to useless... almost like an indexing cron job or something. [16:36] how to assign event1 to touchscreen driver? [16:36] no, amrunning 8.04.1 [16:37] alberto2000: how much memory do you currently have?

[16:38] ienorand: jaunty, nvidia with proprietary driver [16:38] alberto2000: so what does "sluggish" mean? why, in other words, do you feel the computer is not running properly? [16:39] sipior: scrolling firefox is slow, switching between windows and other glitches [16:39] alberto2000: is it principally a problem with the speed of the desktop? [16:39] sipior: Today, for the first time. It's been going to three hours. [16:39] alberto2000 SInce you went for a different kernel, what else is different from the base ubuntu install. Any added repos in your sources list [16:40] how do i open an extra port - i'm trying to get apache to listen on some non standard port, so i can have a staging area for a website. so the production site would be at something.com and staging version at something.com:8199 or something. been going in circles, help appreciated [16:40] Jack_Sparrow: i just switched because of the 4gb ram whcih are not recognized with other kernel [16:40] sipior: I want to track it down before I shut the machine down. [16:40] alberto2000 that did not answer my question [16:40] nice_burger: you need another "Listen" directive [16:40] i didnt add any new repos in sources [16:41] kixx: when you run top, which processes are hanging out at the top of the cpu usage list? [16:41] nice_burger: see http://httpd.apache.com/docs/2.2 [16:41] kixx: (besides top) [16:41] alberto2000 did you run any scripts that did? [16:41] Piet: is that in like /etc/apache2/ports.conf? ok, will read that thanks [16:41] Jack_Sparrow: no i should know if i had [16:41] nice_burger: yes [16:41] I need help with Java, Kubuntu8.04 and Firefox3 [16:41] how do i view what key im pressing down?

[16:42] taz: try running "pkill -9 firefox" in a terminal.. then try again [16:42] thanks [16:43] i need to know the keycodes of special keys [16:43] nice_burger: ah sorry, it came directly from memory, wrong apparently [16:43] Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/d5f39deab [16:43] taz: sometimes firefox dies but hangs around in the background.. for me it's often flash heavy sites that cause this [16:43] Kungen354646: xev might be useful [16:43] sipior: multiload-apple, chipcardd4, Xorg, w3m, gnome-terminal, kswapd0 [16:44] ~/.xsession and put "exec startfluxbox" in it, then type startx | Would that work? [16:44] exit [16:44] kixx: if you kill w3m, do things improve? [16:44] Slart: how do i use it? [16:44] alberto2000 clean like you said.. Was it slow with the standard kernel [16:44] which start with sudo ---- pkill -9 firefox ???? [16:44] Slart: got it [16:44] Jack_Sparrow: yes actually it was slow already by then [16:44] Could it be that HDMI is disabled on the ubuntu 9.04 powerpc-ps3 CD ? I only get a black screen [16:45] Kungen354646: you run xev in a terminal.. it will pop up a window you can play with.. check the terminal for output [16:45] !ppc > spm_Draget [16:45] spm_Draget, please see my private message [16:46] sipior: Yeah, w3m was the culprit. Any idea why? [16:46] kixx: depends on what pages it was viewing. [16:46] Hallo! [16:47] sipior: I never use it, is there a cron job that uses it? [16:47] alberto2000 Have you run top to see what is sucking cpu cycles [16:47] question. Can someone recommend a web based tech support system to keep records of tech support calls to my organization ? [16:47] nice_burger: once you have the Listen directive in place, you also need to add VirtualHost directives for port 80 (you can use the existing definitions there) and the new port, like so [16:47] * joeDeuce is searching the net for linux ported to the ARM processor... [16:47] kixx: not to my recollection [16:47] orudie Offtopic [16:47] Jack_Sparrow: its mostly java (im using aptana ide) or firefox [16:47] I should buy a notebook. What is better with Ubuntu 9.04: AMD + NVIDIA or INTEL + NVIDIA? [16:48] firewolf: doesn't really matter if you ask me [16:48] alberto2000 that did not answer my question [16:48] I just installed the restricted nvidia drivers, and now my monitors native resolution isn't detected (1360x768 instead of 1920x1080) - the resolution isn't listed at all :( [16:48] firewolf: intels high-end processors is a bit more powerful than amd's.. but since it's a netbook I don't think there will be much of a difference.. [16:48] Jack_Sparrow: well java is sucking RAM like shit and firefox too, but also cpu cycles sometimes [16:48] sipior: Thanks. Mmmm... makes me wonder what just happened to my laptop?

I tried with pdfimages but realized that not every first page is an actual image. [16:54] dokin would a screen capture of that window be enough [16:55] dokin: you could use pdftk to grab the first page, and convert (from ImageMagick) to make the image [16:55] Jack_Sparrow, nope, I'm planning on using it on 100+ pdf files :) [16:55] sipior, Ah, yes, that's an idea [16:55] sipior, thanks! [16:55] no idea ? [16:56] dokin: have fun [16:56] dokin: aren't there some tools to work with pdf's? I think I've used somethnig in the past.. something command line..

The problem I'm having is that my wireless occasionally drops, and when I turn off the wireless, and then turn it back on (via nm-applet), after that it can't find any wireless access points, it's as if it's disabled. [17:03] im there jack [17:03] sipor, and the reason I turn it off, and then back on is so it can reconnect to the access point that dropped it. [17:04] mlissner learn how to do it from cli, much more robust way of doing it. [17:04] sipior: I've got that one checked, but it still doesn't prompt me for a password when I let the computer lock.

Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.

[17:15] sliwek: yup you sometimes need special module parameters esp. on laptops [17:15] piet: "options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4 [17:15] dopiwan, i don't know anything about backtrack, but building a bootable usb stick, and then selecting it from the boot menu was no problme [17:15] it tells the module that this is a latop :) [17:16] Mazugrazus, in a command prompt type: last [17:16] just wanted to share if anyone needed help with the same stuff [17:16] hmmm...

[17:17] mlissner OK, if you have selected the pkgs for install, then you want dselect to install them. But dselect is not on your system, so you need to install it by simply typing sudo apt-get install dselect. Then read the man page for dselect to find out how to use it or ask in this channel. [17:17] Jack_sparrow: HP PAVILION DV5 [17:17] netstat -nl if you only want LISTENING ports. add -t and or -u if you only want TCP or UDP ports.

But isn't dselect just a way to install packages similar to aptitude and the like? I'm confused how that will help me to get wireless working...

[18:12] and upon booting, the mDNS seems to fail [18:12] jdu: i dont know how [18:12] calwig: sounds like it sees your network card, but failed trying to load the driver for it [18:12] hi, i tried to use swap file for hibernation. and s2disk makes hibernation but ubuntu doesn't resume it. after while i realized that if i add resume=/dev/XXX to kernel line it works. but i guess it shouldn't be needed to add this if i run update-initramfs... [18:12] mhall119|work: heh? my network card, are all HAL errors directed to network cards? [18:12] sinsational Sorry, that is not ubuntu related support. Please find a different irc channel to ask [18:12] calwig: no, not all [18:12] yaris123456789, first try through the plugin interface / the interface that chooses what applications handle what content. [18:13] mhall119|work: ok i havent even mentioned my network card, so how did you get to this specific assumption :) [18:13] Qwertyi: Since currently ubuntu is not understanding at a hardware level how to use your card reader, regrettably for now this would seem the only option. [18:13] jdu: yes i only see flash 9 not 10 [18:13] genii: Well this is better than nothing :) [18:13] mhall119|work: where can i see the boot log? i cant find it anywhere its not in the /var/logs [18:13] calwig: sorry, was confusing you with someone talking about ifconfig and iwconfig [18:14] Any suggestions on direct irc channels or servers mighty captain! [18:14] mhall119|work: noticed [18:14] calwig: where are you seeing the HAL error message? [18:14] mhall119|work: well its a long story, its upon logging in, on the left top side [18:14] Any suggestions on direct irc channels or servers anyone? [18:15] calwig: did you check dmesg? [18:15] Hp Laserjet1020 is not printing ... using jaunty ...... i installed hplip too.. how to get it print ??? note : it is recognized by ubuntu, but it just stands still when i give a file to print........... [18:15] Qwertyi: Perhaps also add to bug report on this subject, it will put you on the mailing list for it. so if any fix occurs you will know. [18:15] yaris123456789, so I would try disabling it, then restarting firefox. You could also look around .profile and the install dir to manually remove flash9 first. [18:15] hi there [18:15] Any suggestions on direct irc channels or servers genii? [18:16] mhall119|work: yesterday i got an error on the system because it froze and just rebooted, but prior to doing that, i clicked off dbus from the services, so the next session didnt start properly, so i assumed it was because of that. so i turned it back on and then restarted gdm and it all worked fine. but now... upon normal cold boot, i get that error as if one or two services are not starting properly. I havent checked dmesg let me check [18:16] sinsational: Not offhand [18:16] thanx [18:17] I have a new/clean install of Jaunty, obviously there 1100+ packages install, but not a single deb file in the cache.

[18:17] yaris123456789, sorry; its now .mozilla [18:18] hey... is this where I can get some help... or possibly just ask a few questions? [18:18] okay i checked extensions however i dont see it [18:18] sinsational, I'm not sure what your refering to? [18:18] okay...I installed 9.04 with alt cd using encrypted home directories. How do I encrypt the /tmp and swap with same key? [18:18] Terrible-Tim, ask away! [18:18] mhall119|work: well the thing is dbus starts, but fails, because when i go into the desktop HAL shows failed. However, when i go into services, dbus is on [18:18] Sr, Jack Sparrow how do you find bots? when a bot is found how to communicate to it (what commands) and how do i get a list of its services (such as !commands to download stuff ect) [18:19] Please help: My xserver high-frequently crashes while running pidgin, any ideas? [18:19] sinsational: That depends entirely on the bot and its owner. [18:19] ubuntu 9.04....gnome only has desktop background....no panel ..no right click of mouse [18:19] yaris123456789, also /usr/lib/firefox and /usr/lib/mozilla [18:19] ah ok [18:19] genii: You mean this site? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/303844 [18:19] calwig: do you see a dbus process running? The services dialog just tells you if it is going to start when the session starts, not if it's currently running [18:19] yaris123456789, you can also make sure that flash10 is properly installed in them (in the plugins dir) [18:20] I decided to "upgrade" to Jaunty from Hardy , just a quick wipe clean and I was restoring my settings including static IP address. [18:20] hello. i'm having issues with libata's ahci controller, so i had blacklisted it in previous kernel versions... since in newer kernels libata mods are built-ins, how can i disable ahci, apart from recompiling the kernel ?

[18:20] mhall119|work: well now everything is running, but i have to intercept the system upon bootup to finish booting up properly, here let me explain [18:20] :( its kicking me back to gdm very often when i start using pidgin, please help [18:20] but everytime i specify a nic with ip address... the network manager reports no active connections being managed [18:20] and i cant get connected [18:20] is this normal behavior? [18:21] i HAVE to use the network manager? [18:21] jdu: i found flashplugin-alternative.so in plugins/ [18:21] grawity, can you be alittle more specific. Are you still there? [18:21] Hi all, I have a problem with skype. My webcam work well with Cheese but Skype give me a green screen [18:21] sinsational: Yes, I'm still here. [18:21] Terrible-Tim, NetworkManger no longer respects interfaces. You can use its interface or turn it off. [18:22] mhall119|work: system loads, and i see dbus failing (not mDNS sorry) then gdm starts and I log in, once i hit desktop i see Failure to load HAL. So then i stop gdm, stop dbus, start dbus (starts successfully, OKs in all) then start gdm and the session begins again. I log into the desktop and HAL doesnt fail, all devices and controls are there. So I dont get it [18:22] I have Jaunty 64 (AMD turion 64) [18:22] sinsational: Please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere as it does not have anything to do with Ubuntu support. [18:22] hi..my external usb drive is not being detected on ubuntu..and there's no error dialog also..any ideas on what might be the issue? [18:22] yaris123456789, that should be it. How did you install flash10? far the tar.gz, .deb or what? [18:22] .deb [18:22] far = from [18:22] calwig: that is strange, I'm not sure why dbus would fail during the first login, but succeed when manually started [18:22] jdu: .deb [18:23] mhall119|work: exactly [18:23] frojnd, deb [18:23] how do I turn off network-manager? [18:23] i tried removing it... [18:23] network-manager-gnome [18:23] mhall119|work: do you thnk dpkg-reconfigure dbus would fix it? [18:23] and i could get connected it seemed [18:23] hi. i'm trying to create a directory under /proc/ but i get the error "mdkir: cannot create directory `foo': No such file or directory" [18:23] am i doing it wrong? [18:23] i can try it again... [18:23] oops...sry frojnd [18:23] Hi all, I have a problem with skype. My webcam work well with Cheese but Skype give me a green screen [18:23] calwig: at this point, I have no idea. But it's unlikely to hurt [18:23] what would the simplest way to require a program(evolution to be specific) to require a PW to be entered to even load [18:23] yaris123456789, you might try the tar.gz it provides an install script, but you don't have to use it; you can copy the .so file included to the plugins dir and replace whatever is there. [18:23] alice_: you'd have to program it into the application [18:24] are truecrypted files bigger or just slower to read? [18:24] jdu: okay === darkjackaho is now known as Guest2133 [18:24] qgar: compared to what? [18:24] mhall119|work: ok, ill check that, i also checked dmesg and i see stuff, but it isnt the loading segments from bootup. or is it? I see no [OK] sections with the specific service or application [18:25] hi [18:25] mhall119|work, to an unencrypted file outside a countainer [18:25] hi [18:25] mhall119|work, so no realistic way to do that for evolution then? looking to lock out kids w/o having to create new logins for them [18:25] hi, i tried to use swap file for hibernation. and s2disk makes hibernation but ubuntu doesn't resume it. after while i realized that if i add resume=/dev/XXX to kernel line it works. but i guess it shouldn't be needed to add this if i run update-initramfs... [18:25] alastor666: menu editor Evolution properties add gksu to command line [18:25] qgar: a truecrypt file would be bigger than the file is contains === marceloa is now known as zxd [18:25] jdit: ot wont let me delete [18:25] Terrible-Tim, turning it off has a number of negative ramifications to work through such as no dns at first, no automatic wireless. To turn NetworkManager off, you can rename the symbolic link in /etc/rc.2 according to the README instructions. [18:25] I'm trying to upgrade a deskktop machine from Hardy to Jaunty, I'm using "sudo do-release-upgrade", but it says, "No new release found", what am I doing wrong? [18:25] robin0800: that only makes it require a password when launched from the menu [18:26] alice_: : menu editor Evolution properties add gksu to command line [18:26] mhall119|work, yes, so how much bigger is the encrypted data? [18:26] bobbydigitales_: Go to your software sources (software properties, whatever) and there's an upgrades tab. Make sure you have "every" release selected, not just LTS ones. [18:26] bobbydigitales_: under the Software Sources dialog, you have to tell it to upgrade to normal releases, not just LTS releases [18:26] bobbydigitales_, you need to specify that you are willing to upgrade to not LTS releases. [18:26] second mhall119|work [18:26] qgar: TrueCrypt'ed files don't change size, I believe -- the entire container (virtual disk) is encrypted as one.

[18:28] CosmicChaos: disable all pidgin plugins and see if that helps [18:28] help...I have encrypted home directories but now I need to encrypt swap and /tmp. I setup encrypted home directories at install of Ubuntu 9.04. I want to use same utilities/method/even pass key if possible. [18:28] qgar: TrueCrypt works differently than PGP.

[18:28] CosmicChaos: disable all accounts then [18:28] grawity, I know [18:28] how can i keep analog/digital checked in alsa mixer [18:29] qgar: it will need to be a bit bigger than the unencrypted contents [18:29] grawity, in other words: Do I loose space when i encrypt a partition? [18:29] mhall119|work: lol how sould it crash xserver when im OFFLine and cannot receive messages or what do you mean [18:29] Flannel: mhall119|work : jdu: sorry I should have said that it's a headless machine :) [18:29] sooooo.... where do the cert authority certs live? [18:29] mhall119|work, a bit, ok :) [18:29] i have to recheck after every boot [18:29] CosmicChaos: just trying to eliminate factors [18:29] maybe I need to give "do-release-upgrade" -p ? [18:30] mhall119|work: the factor is: working with 8.10, crashing cserver with 9.04 [18:30] Heya all, I'm using openoffice launchpad ppa, on intrepid. Suddently a couple days ago, I started getting a message that "not all updates can be installed" and offering a partial upgrade [18:30] Name a good program for usenet. [18:30] CosmicChaos: it could be one of the Pidgin account libs, which is why I suggested disabling all accounts [18:30] And it won't select the other updates [18:30] for openoffice [18:30] hi i removed xubuntu-desktop from my laptop but i can still see the option for a XFCE session in the login manager [18:30] Is there a simple fixd for this? [18:30] bobbydigitales_, you do realize that you are going to have to do two upgrades to get from hardy to jaunty and that may leave a degree of cruft? [18:30] Hi [18:31] how come says l1 cach 30 , l2 256, and system is 768, is 512 and 256 in there.??

[18:32] are there standard drivers loaded with ubuntu incase i cant connect to the net [18:32] where can i follow if there are changes on the ubuntu intel graphics driver? [18:33] iv had them load up into a manager of some kind and vid card came up to look for driver [18:33] Fiveohthree: the default Ubuntu install comes with many drivers [18:33] adnc: you could see the release notes [18:34] satyagrahi: the released intel driver with 9.04 had many problems, i'm waiting till there is any progress but now updates yet for it [18:34] Can anyone read this? [18:34] hello, does anyone know any USB composite video (RCA jack) capture dongles that work well with ubuntu? [18:34] Niv3k: no [18:34] is ubuntu/kubuntu 9.04 significantly faster/slower than their predecessors? [18:34] thnx shade [18:34] bobbydigitales_: What you need to do is to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades, and set it to "normal" instead of lts. [18:34] john: bootup is faster in 9.04 [18:34] adnc: see the bug report filed on it in the release notes,all updates will be posted there [18:34] Flannel: ok, thanks! [18:34] I haven't been able to find a good source for that information [18:34] i go to hardware drivers but it says no drivers are loaded.

It only happens when I'm using ubuntu and not writing with it [20:19] okey thanks matreya6 =) [20:19] i wonder why the password to my main user changed [20:20] my root pass is still the same [20:20] ikonia well./...so it goes I use Ubuntu 9.04 and I set up the system in the beginning to have 3 partitions - /boot, swap and / - those at the end of the second hard drive of my system ....after that , I set up from windows - using partition magic - a primary partition, ext3 type filesystem ....rebooted and found out that this partiton called STORAGE is mounted by ubuntu direcly on the /media folder ....but is seems that this partition has only one user [20:20] and btw how come with ext3 my 1tb disk is 917gb while in windows with ntfs its 931gb ? ;o ive done the sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sda1 thingy [20:20] oluu, this is more comprehensive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogomips [20:20] thanks ill check it out:) [20:20] what program is like fruity loops ? [20:21] zack`: sure, if it has not been reported before. make sure you note down what you did before it happened and how your already tried to recover and how you relized it failed. [20:21] parapanghelescu:ive spent roughly a min tying your name,couldnt you make it shorter?anyway,whats the problem? [20:21] oluu: a good chunk of the disk by default is reserved for root to prevent out of space errors from fubaring your system [20:21] kaffien, Just drop to any other terminal and kill gdm [20:21] oluu: 5% of the fs to be exact on ext3 [20:22] isnt that removed by doing tune2fs -m 0 /dev/device ? thats what google said anyways [20:22] i just dropped into a termanl and changed the password [20:22] now the next fun little error [20:22] oluu: ooops i see you already done tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sda1 [20:22] aye [20:22] <_PiLoT_> hey im back lol ive got a query [20:22] ikonia; nmvictor> so basically I want to change the owner of this partition STORAGE to be accessed by the regular user of the system ....nmvictor - it happens to be a romanian ?

I guess you could tar it or cp -a [21:03] eyore15: i would think that if you didi it as a normal user then they will be stored somewhere in ~/.openoffice.org2/ [21:03] eyore15: all of the changes you've made to OOo are contained in ~/.openoffice.org so you could just make a copy of that directory, and copy it over to other user accounts where you want to use the same settings [21:03] eyore15: so check if they are stored there and if they are do as sacarlson suggests [21:03] I don't suppose there is som page which lists hardware that has known issues in ubuntu ? [21:04] Specifically I want to know if the NVidia GeForce 9300 motherboard works [21:05] oops right openoffice is at v3, i guess it's ~/.openoffice.org then [21:05] I need a program that can print .doc files in Ubuntu, but not OO.o [21:05] swoody, abiword [21:05] ranf: tired it, can't get it to open my .doc correctly [21:06] swoody, ahh ok [21:06] BlueParrot: this is mostly a matter of kernel versions. you can check the hardware databases at linux-compatible.org, kmuto.jp [21:06] Piet, thank you [21:06] hi, the module cdc_acm doesn't load anymore in jaunty [21:06] swoody: maybe save the doc file in windows with an older vesion option [21:07] BlueParrot: actually it's http://linuxcompatible.org/ and http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ [21:08] My mouse broke. Is there anyway to control it with my arrow pads? [21:09] Xubuntu is unable to mount my USB stick, it's saying: The enclosing drive for the volume is locked, however it's showing up in gparted and is formatted NTFS.

[21:10] sacarlson, I'm looking at 9.04 though and newer cards [21:10] yea, found it [21:10] BlueParrot: http://hardware4linux.info also [21:10] I know there's a setting somewhere in the gnome network manager to allow all users to use a particular wireless network. effectively, this connects the machine to the wireless network at boot, rather than waiting for the user to log into the machine. I can't find the setting, though! [21:10] it's system->keyboard->mouse keys [21:10] well, my poor friend can't find the setting, that is. [21:11] i set hibernation, and i need to update initramfs, and seems like it's updated but still i can't resume a system. it works only if i type resume=/dev/xxx parameter into kernel during the boot [21:11] BlueParrot: some are having problems there too like daybreak69 was speaking just a few hours ago [21:11] anyone have experience getting the widget layer thingy not to close on click for compiz?

I'm compiling a kernel and got a failure at the debian/rules updateconfigs step. It failed with permission denied around splitconfigs.pl .. see: http://pastebin.ca/1421927 (sorry, I only got the tail of the output.) What am I doing wrong here? [21:15] How can I downgrade a package? There's a regression in libvirt-0.6.1-0ubuntu5 which is not present in -0ubuntu4, so I want to downgrade. [21:16] to connect two computers with a router at home completely newbie in ubuntu :) [21:16] mario_, it should just work [21:16] mario_, as long as DHCP is enabled in the router [21:16] getxsick, No? I thought so. [21:16] hola a todos @s [21:16] Hi. I'm wondering in crontab, when you fill all the numbers with stars (*), does it do the task every second or what? [21:16] jsg: every minute.

[21:17] ranf: i think it should works without using that paramter, it should be done by using initramfs [21:17] sacarlson, well the good news seems to be that googling for the board , ubuntu, linux, problems and so on... does nto turn up pages of pages with peopel wanting to know how to get it to work [21:17] jsg, every minute. [21:17] how? because i can not transfer files between the computers [21:17] Ah I see. what i really want is for the task do be done every time i sign into ubuntu [21:17] jim__: can't remember off the top of my head but something like "apt-get install libvirt=0.6.1-0ubuntu4" after removing the offending package [21:17] jsg: Don't use cron then. [21:18] jim__:not a good idea , if other packets rely on it, could use the backports sources or directly download the wanted version [21:18] jsg: See system>Preferences>Startup [21:18] mario_, have you shared a folder? [21:18] DasEi: I can't find the wanted version, or I would. :\ [21:18]  BlueParrot: no I think the majority of nvida and monitor are working ok just some [21:18] no!! [21:18] getxsick, something like in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume [21:18] sacarlson, yea there seems to be some peopel moaning about the 8XXX series [21:19] jsg: And its only every minute if you do */1 * * * * [21:19] It's a little crowded in here. Is there another channel where I might ask about building a kernel on ubuntu? [21:19] mario_, right click on a folder and share it... [21:19]  BlueParrot: and compared to ATI I think nvidia has them beat with linux suport [21:19] jim__: exact package name ?

[21:25] its already installed [21:26] I installed it like 2 hours ago, it loaded up fine once, then I got the nvidia drivers and WINE and restarted and I got that message and no GUI [21:26] voracious: because the eth0 interface is not up (or doesn't exist.) [21:26] voracious: try `ifconfig eth0 up` [21:26] it is, and working well with vista [21:26] sorry xp [21:26] jim__: apart from launchpad ...

[21:29] StormWinged: do you want to create another partition on the disk or another file system on top of the md raid? [21:29] ? [21:29] why does firefox have anything to do w/ it [21:29] Hello Jim_okay i see, but it is not getting ip address from dhcp! [21:29] hassan_: how does it not work. doesnt open? [21:29] i dont know Piet... how is better and easy? [21:29] StormWinged: when talking about raid, you mean software raid, i.e. md + mdadm, right? [21:30] yes [21:30] its open but i cant wirte in [21:30] voracious: assuming you have a working dhcp server on the network, investigate /etc/network/interfaces [21:30] i just want to make a partition... for torrents as examples [21:30] is possible?

[21:31] it has nothing to do w/ an application [21:31] or I have to set ip for dhcp?? [21:31] ubuntu wont load its GUI [21:31] StormWinged: youll need to boot from livecd you cannot run gparted on a mounted drive but yeah possible. easy even [21:31] StormWinged: you do not create partitions on top of md raid. you could, but it's not a good idea and not commonly done. instead, create partitions on the bare disks then join them to a raid [21:31] it does the ubuntu loading screen then I get like a console with a bunch of lines [21:31] StormWinged: ah raid nm [21:31] voracious: pastebin.com it [21:32] so i have to contact ovh [21:32] since the server is in france :D [21:32] I'm just gonna try 32-bit, not with it for me to struggle with 64-bit [21:32] no I am not connected with network from there!

[21:50] ckw, do dmesg at console and see if there are any errors [21:50] Is there any main difference b/w the Netbook version of Ubuntu and the Desktop version of Ubuntu? Can you use all of the features that are in the Destop version in the Netbook version? [21:50] ckw, ctrl-alt-backspace [21:50] Just wondering. [21:50] heyo everybody, can someone tell me (if there is anyway) how to get an ATI 4870x2 working with 9.04 ? [21:50] There isn't even a wlan network interface [21:50] StormWinged: it just doesn't work on my network, it doesn't get requested ips, it doesn't set hostnames, dhcpcd works great though [21:51] or tail -f /var/log/messages [21:51] ckw, that will restart X [21:51] ckw, push alt + f2 then run the command nm-applet , that should create a little network icon in your sys-tray on the panel ( next to the clock ) if you rightclick that it should let you enable wireless [21:51] ckw, yeah restarting X is not a bad idea [21:51] I tried as root also! [21:51] Jim _ still the same message is displayed [21:51] when you uninstall the dchp3 via synaptic... it will remove all other settings [21:51] seams like i m not the only 4870x2 user who's got this problem [21:51] guys please help: how to setup ubuntu for local email only? i installed sendmail and dovecot and both "seems" to work. in dovecot config they mention first time i should explicitly say if i use mbox/maildir and set locations. well i dont know what i use. and thunderbird complains there is no mail spool file. ideas on solving? [21:51] voracious: then you're not providing enough info in the command. [21:51] 9.04 disabled the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [21:52] !dontzap | ckw [21:52] ckw: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [21:52] ckw, if you left click on the nm-applet it should ( eventually ) give you a list of available networks you can choose from [21:52] and i guess... when you install dhcpcd you will have networking [21:52] well i'll give it a shot and hope i don't have to reinstall the entire os [21:52] then should i look for etc/fstab file? [21:52] ckw, logging out of your account should restart the X server [21:52] ckw, weak sauce. :( Try this from the command line: /etc/init.d/networking restart [21:52] lstarnes: That works well when you have no network access [21:52] mario_ what does "sudo apt-get install smbclient" say? [21:53] ckw: there's also a way to do it via xorg.conf [21:53] ckw, and FYI if your query is unanswered here you can chk the ubuntuforums...or the #linux channel...this channel is mostly filled with noobs..no offense to the others :) [21:53] mario_ on both computers? [21:53] ckw, try sticking this in xorg.conf [21:53] Section "ServerFlags" [21:53] Option "DontZap" "false" [21:53] EndSection [21:53] BlueParrot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:53] ok i'll try it [21:53] just did a full restart, 30 seconds and I'll message that nothing shows up again :P [21:54] i formatted a usb in fat32 and now windows computers can't open it.. [21:54] wolter, windows can read fat32. If windows can't read it, then it's possibly corrupt [21:54] And no dice [21:54] wolter, in fact Microsoft owns the patent on FAT32 [21:55] and sued TomTom [21:55] smbclient is already the newest version. [21:55] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 21 not upgraded in the one i'm writing trying the other... [21:55] for violating it :p [21:55] I need help to mount a partition : http://paste.ubuntu.com/171915/ [21:55] i know, but its strange [21:55] i formatted it in gparted [21:55] Elmaron, very true. [21:55] anyone have experience using the megasr module on ubuntu? [21:55] wolter, then format it in Windows [21:55] Huufarted, what could've gone wrong? [21:55] wolter, who knows? Flash drives can be picky [21:55] Jim_ it only shows cdrom, cdrom0,cdrom1 while I press tap after mount /media/ [21:55] annnnnd I"m outta here. Works out for the day. [21:55] Huufarted, could it be the usb port of the computer? [21:56] Maybe i'm going to do that, format it in the windows machine [21:56] wolter:waybe their is #windows in freenode.net,i dont know?such a place would be of much help coz it looks like the problem lies with windows [21:56] nmvictor, wolter: this network does have the channel ##windows [21:56] hi all. how to run a sript from a usb when im terminal on ubuntu? [21:56] wolter: does it work on the ubuntu machine? [21:56] DasEi1: you want to activate lvm2 [21:56] dmesg doesn't show anything exciting [21:56] digitalchemist, yes, and on the mac machine [21:56] the other says same message [21:57] i dont have gui and gdm installed [21:57] Currently switching from the proprietary wireless driver and rebooting [21:57] lstarnes, i know, but I asked here because maybe there was some option i had to set in fat32 formatting [21:57] hi [21:57] mario_ ok... what happends when you open Places -> Network on the other machine? [21:57] wolter: how did you format it? [21:57] all i can see is the tty and im on this terminal but i need to run this script which is on a usb device i inserted on p [21:57] i like to go to java channel [21:58] how ?? [21:58] ijn: Did you mount the usb device? [21:58] Guest70013: you need a registered nickname first [21:58] hi [21:58] how [21:58] no i dont think os [21:58] oh wait [21:58] so [21:58] Guest70013: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup [21:58] is it is #xubuntu? [21:58] Guest70013: but first, switch to a different nick using /nick new-nickname [21:58] ijn: type at the terminal cd "/media/" then while you are to where the sript is type ./scriptname.ext after settig it to executable. [21:58] Go ahead and mount it, then navigate to the mount point. [21:58] digitalchemist, just gparted... erased all partitions and created a new fat32 [21:58] * ckw slaps ubuntu [21:58] That fixed it :S [21:59] DasEi1: run this: pvscan && vgscan && lvscan; # then run lvchange -a y VG where VG is the name of the volume group the 'vgs' command displays to you [21:59] #xubuntu [21:59] nmvictor | so first i should mount the usb and than run the script? [21:59] how do i add stuff to /etc/skel [21:59] wolter: you made the partition, but there's probably not a file system on it ... something to try at least [21:59] NativeAngels: using sudo cp, probably [21:59] wolter: mkfs.vfat /dev/sdxX [22:00] ijn:yea,mount the usb then move to where the script is with the command i gave [22:00] kalmi unable to mount location failed to retrieve share list from server [22:00] mario_, so you can actually see the machine there? [22:00] i want it so a folder called public_html is created everytime i create a new user [22:00] digitalchemist, ok, but before i want to let you know that i can store and open files on it from ubuntu [22:01] wolter: yeah, that's what makes it seem odd. I'm not familiar enough with gparted to know if it actually formats the partition [22:01] NativeAngels: so sudo mkdir /etc/skel/public_html [22:01] nmvictor | but i don know the comand to mount the usb [22:01] ok [22:01] if you are referring to a netwo [22:01] and will the user be able to ftp to that folder [22:02] digitalchemist, running command now... [22:02] digitalchemist, it says now that the drive contains a file system [22:02] oh, a mounted one, let me unmound [22:02] NativeAngels: the user will have write permissions to that folder, yes. Although I would advise using scp, not ftp [22:02] t [22:02] is it possible to access linux partition from window? [22:02] sorry if you are referring to windows network i can see it but when i click two times i have the error unable.... [22:03] ijn: sudo mount /dev/sdb(1/2) depends could be /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb2 check with /etc/mtab anyway sudo mount /dev/sdb(n) /media/ [22:03] NativeAngels: you can change passwd to chroot the user to publick_html location to be accessed via ftp [22:03] passwd file i mean [22:03] hi gusy [22:03] need a tad bit of help [22:04] voracious: a partition for sure, a file system depends on which one it is and how it is setup [22:04] anyone have experience using the megasr module on ubuntu? [22:04] feel free to ask [22:04] ok [22:04] anyone know how i can embed my terminal to my desktop [22:04] mario_: i often just enter the full 'path' to the server/share (form smb://servername/sharename) then it asks for my password.. then for some reason t sees it afterwards :) even after reboot [22:04] NismoTie:just say it pliz [22:04] hi [22:04] NismoTie: seen ways to do it in the past google for 'root window terminal' most of the time it used the eterm program and some options [22:04] greetings [22:04] Nismotie: ar eyou trying to put the terminal on your desktop [22:05] which version and where can i find the latest stable ubuntu version?

[22:05] Guest_771: by stable, do you mean a regular release, or an LTS release? [22:05] but have it locked and un minimizable/maximizable [22:05] Guest_771: I'm using 8.04 which is the LTS version. I got it from the Ubuntu main site.

[22:11] having some problems with banshee on ubuntu 9.04, I found a bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/326827) that is the same problem, but appears to be linked to gnome help boards. Is there someone here that could help? Or do I need to go to gnome site to find answers? [22:11] new2suse: searchirc.com [22:11] im finding devils pie a "devil" to work [22:11] NismoTie: the main issue will be that gnome likes to take over the 'root window' of the desktop. and the terminal may get below that and be hidden. [22:11] and you did the settings? [22:12] =/ [22:12] anyone have any idea bout my connection issues?

[22:13] same deal? [22:14] aar: should work with ghostscript [22:14] nmvictor: thanks, have you done it to yours?

My ext3 partition for linux already mounts in windows [22:14] aar: try this http://www.everyjoe.com/newlinuxuser/merge-multiple-pdfs-into-one-file/ but replace every occurrence of 'pdf' by 'ps' [22:14] are my messages even coming up? [22:14] bookmark: if it has an ip, then you can print using its ip [22:14] JuJuBee, do you have ext2ifs on your windows machine? [22:14] Piet, thank you [22:14] mib_s9z4gxnx: no, they aren't [22:14] ubuntuguy would that be with like samba? [22:15] did initially then got rid of it.,just wanted to prove to my self i could do it [22:15] mib_s9z4gxnx: yes [22:15] or cups?

[22:16] ubuntuguy: flip a coin? or give more details as to your needs... :) [22:16] hi, i have just installed ubuntu netbook remix to my acer aspire one, im having some troubles with any type of connection... my wireless and ethernet connections will not work [22:16] mib_s9z4gxnx: you may need to change some configurations to get things working as intended on an aspire one. [22:16] mib_s9z4gxnx: have you already read up on the wiki? [22:16] mib_s9z4gxnx: odd.. it works great on my AcerAspireOne. [22:16] yeah, ive spent quite a while looking stuff up over the last hour [22:16] mib_s9z4gxnx: there is a good wiki/forum therad on the AAO and UNR also [22:16] mib_s9z4gxnx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [22:17] DR_Willis: good question! how to create/see the server name ? using smb://black/public1/ same error than before [22:17] thing is, even my ethernet cable wont work [22:17] i dont reallt understand [22:18] wolter: anything else? [22:18] mib_s9z4gxnx: if these resources did not help fixing it, then have a look at your log files, such as /var/log/messages [22:18] mario_: you need to use YOUR server name/share - go to the window machine and look perhaps? or try the 'findsmb' command.. [22:18] Hello, I just upgraded to 9.04 and for some reason now, many of my menus are much darker... How can I change that? I don't like it... [22:18] mario_: theres also other commands that scan the network for shares [22:18] Hi... is anyone using the solderless eeepc/msi wind touchscreen with 9.04? How is the driver support? [22:18] does anyone know how to replace dhcp3-client with dhcpcd on 9.04? [22:18] mib_s9z4gxnx: if you come across error messages there, then pastebin them and paste the url here [22:18] are you talking to me willis? [22:18] mario_: like 'smbtree' [22:18] hello [22:19] mib_s9z4gxnx: :) my AAO works good. [22:19] piet, nothing comes up it just says it didnt connect [22:19] hi everyone....can someone answer a question for me pls? [22:19] is posible what i have 2 wallpapers in mi 2 desktop??? [22:19] josemiguel: Not with gnome - from what ive seen [22:19] mib_s9z4gxnx: i doubt it says "did not connect" in /var/log/messages [22:19] josemiguel: yes [22:19] who??? [22:19] this is pretty much my problem [22:19] josemiguel: with compiz yes, but you'll lose your desktop icons [22:19] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1138803 [22:20] JuJuBee, well, I don't know.. why can't windows read it? [22:20] why didn't you format it to ntfs? [22:20] !ask|new2suse, [22:20] new2suse,: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:20] I would recommend that [22:20] because everything can read ntfs.. well, not sure if mac can [22:20] wolter: that is what I am trying to determine. When I connec to USB, it does not mount [22:20] simply?> [22:20] so what's the difference beween 9.04 and 8.04lts? [22:20] like, nothing appears on 'my computer' [22:20] where can I find out about next release cycle, or patch releases coming down the channel? I want to find out if this "patch" for banshee is going to be included soon, or if I should start trying to compile my own. [22:21] any virtualization things that can emulate x64 processors AND attach a real hard disk to a vm? [22:21] ubuntuguy, 9.04 is cooler [22:21] wolter: I use it mosly on linux and use rsync to make backups of my linux stuff so I want to preserve perms... [22:21] ubuntuguy, what computer do you have? [22:21] wolter: yes, no drive appears [22:21] oh [22:21] racecar56: virtualbox and vmware can attatch to a real hard drive.. but it takes some configuring [22:21] hi [22:21] JuJuBee, well, I don't know.. I failed when I tried to install ext2ifs [22:21] racecar56: and from what i have read.. its not reccomended. [22:21] wolter: it's hp dv6 very new with core2due and 3 gigs of ram.. [22:21] :( [22:21] Dr_Willis: thanks i'm trying to understand how to work with ubuntu! is the problem of using microso.. products years and years !! [22:22] Dr_Willis, can virtualbox ose do it? [22:22] JuJuBee, it didn't work for me, but that just made something pop out in my head [22:22] even unencrypted wireless connection wont work on my netbook install [22:22] K [22:22] racecar56: i have seen it mentioned in its docs that it can. [22:22] JuJuBee, do you know if the drive you are using has 256b-sized nodes? [22:22] when did you format it to ext3? [22:22] mario_: theres just somequirk in the gnome file manager about browsing shares.. ive seen some fix's on the forums. but i just enter the full paths. then bookmark them :) [22:22] ubuntuguy, i would go for jaunty (9.04) [22:22] hey all [22:23] hey dude [22:23] mib_s9z4gxnx: i would not rely on what "conorturton" says in this thread unless he backs it up by a bug tracker reference [22:23] is anyone having any connection issues with a netbook install on aspire one? [22:23] wolter: ? [22:23] Dr_Willis thanks ... [22:23] I'm trying to help an ubuntu user get his GDM back up because he was having major issues with the nvidia kernel module. [22:23] ubuntuguy, if i were you... i heard you were hesitating [22:23] we uninstalled nvidia-180-kernel-source and installed the driver from nvidia [22:23] mib_s9z4gxnx: i suggest you upgrade the firmware of your aspire one and your wireless router, then come back if it still doesn't work for you. [22:23] that fixed the hang issues, but now gdm doesn't want to start. [22:24] any suggestions? [22:24] Hi... is anyone using the solderless eeepc/msi wind touchscreen with 9.04? How is the driver support? [22:24] wolter: what? [22:24] piet, both are fine [22:24] wolter: I dont know. [22:24] disabling/re-enabling gdm using rcconf doesn't do a thing [22:24] mib_s9z4gxnx: by "fine" you mean what exactly? [22:24] wolter: so what are the difference between both of them? [22:24] both are up to date [22:24] why do i have both syslogd and klogd running? which if any should i disable ? [22:25] piet, did you read the thread i posted? [22:25] hi! Can somebody tell me defference between winex and wine with installed directx? [22:25] After upgrading to 9.04, my menus have a different appearance, how can I change the appearance back? [22:25] usr78523: uninstall both fo them [22:25] Maya: because they are for logging different things [22:25] armence: this new appearance is niceer. keep it funkyHat: ah [22:25] well, then [22:25] ubuntuguy, 9.04 is newer, to begin with. it has a very nice notification system, it has a very nice interface to customize keyboard shortcuts [22:25] ubuntuguy, many other things.. [22:26] >_> [22:26] usr78523: winex is just a tweaked comercial wine as far as i know.. and normally one does not install directx in wine. [22:26] ubuntuguy, the thing is, it is newer and is not problematic [22:26] wolter: so which one should i choose now? [22:26] ubuntuguy, i would say 9.04 [22:26] mib_s9z4gxnx: yes, and i made a statement on it here. [22:26] also have aumix and alsa-utils available, which would be preferred?` [22:26] ubuntuguy, but first you could do a google search to see how does ubuntu treat those laptops [22:26] wolter: in the site it says it's for large deployment what would that mean? [22:26] it is quite relative on hardware [22:26] Dr_Willis, wrong. winex (transgaming) installs a lot of directx support for games and tweaked dlls. [22:27] Maya: Well, that's kind of subjective... If I wanted to change back, how could I do it? [22:27] oh yes, sorry i didnt see that [22:27] ubuntuguy, well, it can mean many things... in what context? [22:27] wat? directly installed directx wouldnt work? [22:27] if you are a gamer under linux, use transgaming. it'll save a lot of time and headaches. [22:27] Maya: Specifically, how could I make sure my menus are not gray anymore [22:27] i dont really understand how im having issues with this when everyone ive read has said it works out of the box [22:27] SkyLeach: but they DONT install 'directx' they have their own tweaked version.

Well basically this is my third time installing Ubuntu and the first two times it started fine and then I did all the updates it gave me and also installed the nvidia drivers.

[22:55] probably not the best room for me to be in....I thought i was asking a basic question...but maybe its not [22:55] is the permitted resolutions held in another file? [22:55] hi [22:55] How can I enable the display of eastern characters from the commandline (just to bring up the actually preferences)? [22:55] mib_s9z4gxnx: yes, i'm reading up on it [22:56] mortal1: did you install graphic card drivers? Which card do you have? [22:56] piet can you private message me next time you reply [22:56] plain jane intel onboard graphics [22:56] hi [22:56] mib_s9z4gxnx: the problem seems to be that the dhcp client is receiving a message it does not understand: "dhclient: Discarding packet with bogus hlen." [22:56] Little video question ive never managed to find an answer for.. I see tumbnails of .avi files in the file manager.. and its not always the first fram and stuff. so HOW/where Do you set what 'frame' the file manager sees for the thumbnail from the avi file? [22:56] * saondczech sighs [22:56] mortal1: system > preferences > display [22:56] piet, any idea what is causing this? [22:57] I guess no one is interested in fixing genuine problems in Noobuntu.. [22:57] piet, it wont let me reply to you in private chat [22:57] saondczech: what problem? [22:57] mib: Did you register your NIC? [22:58] mib_s9z4gxnx: i just sent you a private message. if it works, you should now see another in-page tab on mibbit [22:58] is there anyway i could set my screen to a custom resolution that my tv could understand? 1280x720 would be awesome [22:58] mib_s9z4gxnx: right that's because your nickname isn't registered, as you said before. [22:58] it doesn't show that as an option [22:58] it's currently 1280x800 [22:58] piet is blocking messages from unidentified users. You must register and identify with NickServ before talking to this user. [22:58] mortal1: how are you connected to the tv? svideo? hdmi? [22:58] chetnick: sound basically just being a PITA. [22:58] vga [22:58] Can anyone tell me how I can ping my windows machine using its computer name? (and vice versa) [22:59] does anyone know how to run a shell script from tty? [22:59] mortal1: whats teh video card? that thing should configure like a normal monitor if using vga [22:59] ldiamond_: i am not sure but you need to have installed samba, to be able to do that. [22:59] mib_s9z4gxnx: let's just keep it here for now [22:59] intel onboard graphics [22:59] piet, ok [22:59] I installed the "powersaved" package earlier today (among others, because CPU frequency scaling isn't working right) and I'm trying to uninstall it now but it wants to take "ubuntu-desktop" with it; is there a way to remove powersaved but keep ubuntu-desktop? [22:59] piet, any ideas? [23:00] it doesn't show 1280x720 as an option, but I know it could do it [23:00] ldiamond_: on my box it works just like this ping windows-box [23:00] This is driving me mad. My ext3 external USB HD wont mount in windows. I reinstalled the ifs driver(you know, this is windows after all) and connected the drive. Windows chimes that it found a device, it lists in hardware manager, but nothing in my computer to show the device... Any ideas. [23:00] saondczech: it is, especially because manufacturers usually do not release schematics for how the wired the mixers in the sound chipset on the motherboard [23:00] anyone here use touchscreen monitors with Ubuntu? [23:00] pino42: yeah, but that's not the problem [23:00] JuJuBee: Might get better help in ##windows [23:00] JuJuBee: This would be a better question for #Windows. But you can go to start > run > diskmgmt.msc and configure the device from there. [23:01] JuJuBee: ive found that IFS tool to be rather flakey :( [23:01] pino42: unless my HARDWARE changed when i upgraded to Intrepid from whatever came before it. [23:01] chetnick, samba is installed [23:01] saondczech: I believe that the update updated the Linux kernel too. [23:01] h [23:01] the alsa drivers used to be in constant flux, and I think they still are. [23:02] chetnick, theres actually 2x smbd running.... odd [23:02] hrmm [23:02] I had to test 4 or 5 different releases of them to get sound ALMOST working a Fujitsu tablet. [23:02] chetnick: some servers run in multiple processes -- better performance [23:02] and then it took a wizard to pirate the schematics, understand them and fix the source code for that particolar tablet-notebook to work. [23:03] pino42, must be quite a kick to see it working for the first time :-) [23:03] but the sound *worked* before!! [23:03] this is also a reason why upgrading to a newer version of the Alsa modules, or downgrading to an older one, may help :) [23:03] ijn, sh .sh or ./.sh [23:03] and Ubuntu devs are not really to blame… [23:04] Anyone use wine? [23:04] most of us [23:04] >hic< - care to as another questin edge ? [23:04] virualbox... [23:05] When i use wine i open up my game and it zooms in and i can only hear the sound but cant do anything === AntORG__ is now known as AntORG [23:05] !appdb | edge [23:05] edge: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [23:05] see if your game are listed there [23:05] pino42: no, the Ubuntu testing team is to blame, for failing to notice this regression. :P [23:05] can somebody help me with repositories ? [23:05] if not... you have to install sun virtualbox and install windows to play it [23:06] saondczech: they can't possibly get hold of every piece of hardware in existence in the world [23:06] I am dual booting.... [23:06] let alone test on it, even if they could [23:06] saondczech: what I actually suggest is that you note down the PCI card id and subsystem id for your card === janne is now known as Skiessi [23:06] i dont understand virtual box [23:06] the actual version of the alsa modules you're running [23:06] and bring the issue over at #alsa [23:06] if you manage to get this sorted, the next release of alsa might include the fix [23:06] Flash player has issues for some reason.... [23:06] hello everyone. could someone tell me what the command is to see what your graphics card is? someone here told me and i forgot.... [23:07] and so might a number of distros, including ubuntu :) [23:07] edge smth like vmware [23:07] but free and very stable [23:07] <_freddy_> how long for the latest version of ubuntu to come out? [23:07] which version? [23:07] :)) [23:07] _freddy_: Ubuntu releases about every 6 months. [23:07] pino42: hey, good idea -- will check over there [23:07] <_freddy_> im downloading 9.04 [23:08] so is there like a flash player mirror of some sort? [23:08] 9.04 = 2009: 4th month. [23:08] what do you mean? [23:08] what issues do you have with flashplayer? [23:08] it wont run [23:09] Or sometimes it does but when i start firefox back up it says i have to install it [23:09] hello, how one pair device via rfcomm with bluze 4.x? [23:09] ienorand: well i installed the plugin suggested by firefox...however it really sucks. flash dont load for most part, you haveto click on a large grey box with a play button to actually see the flash files [23:09] Fishscene: so does that mean if there was a recent update to one of the packages, we won't see it int he download channel until october? [23:09] <_freddy_> this ubuntulook.com site....whats that site for? [23:09] <_freddy_> eyecandy? [23:10] download opera web browser, its much better!!! [23:10] edge sometimes the flash dont start... and that happen on a server load [23:10] so you have to close your browser and start it again [23:10] does anyone know how to change program icons in netbook remix? [23:10] WOW, i think i will just download opera [23:10] Draco: No, that's just the Ubuntu release cycle for the Ubuntu OS. They have updates for these releases all the time. [23:10] i like opera better anyways..... [23:10] man find [23:10] since i`m using flashplugin-nonfree i dont have too many issues [23:11] is there a way of setting the settings in a way that makes things atomatically download to a different spot on my hard drive? [23:11] can u pirate flash plugin non free? [23:11] yaris123456789: is this gnash? sounds like you're ysing some sort of flasblock extension rather... [23:11] is hddtemp precise? [23:12] Why pirate it when it's available for free? [23:12] Fishscene: there a relase log, or some project plan site I can see when/if something is coming out? I'm really interested in a patch for banshee [23:12] seems a bit wierd my disk is 18 celcius [23:12] anyone know how to change the default burning app, one I selected isn't working and i checked the always perform this action box - jaunty [23:12] Draco: I unfortunately don't have that information. =\ [23:12] l [23:12] i have a question, when u install ubuntu on a second partition next to a windows partition, and the windows side has lots of virus's.. this wouldnt effect ubuntu right? would i be safe from the infected windows? [23:12] do operating system designers or hardware designers get to determine the size of a byte? [23:12] oluu why? because windows stress your hdd ? [23:12] :) [23:12] hehe [23:13] yea im used to like 35-43ish [23:13] :p [23:13] homeskill: hardware [23:13] homeskill: a byte is Universally 8 bits. No room for interpreting this. [23:13] same as mine video card [23:13] is cool since i migrate to ubuntu [23:13] Fishscene it's not always 8bits [23:13] ienorand: i had gnash installed too but i uninstalled it [23:13] nice:) [23:13] Fishscene: thanks, guess that will be my quest for the evening.. I found the bug, and relevant thread, with a ptach, I just can't figure out exactly when it will hit my system. [23:13] homeskill: err, a byte is always 8 bits [23:13] ienorand: now i have the default flash 9 plugin for firefox, however i can only watch youtube [23:13] ienorand: i dont have flash blocker installed [23:13] Fishscene: and I don't want to compile my own, if I can help it [23:13] an octet is always 8 bits, a byte has no standard, they just usually are 8 bits [23:13] hey, anyone know if there's a rhytmbox plugin to support libgstshout (shoutcast output for gstreamer)? [23:13] Draco: Understandable :P [23:14] i have a question, when u install ubuntu on a second partition next to a windows partition, and the windows side has lots of virus's.. this wouldnt effect ubuntu right? would i be safe from the infected windows? [23:14] Whenever an app that is using 3D acceleration loses focus, it also loses 3D acceleration. Is this a Wine thing or a Linux/gfx-driver thing? [23:14] homeskill: I've never heard of a byte not being 8 bits. Any other "size" for this would probably introduce a lot of confusion and misinterpretation. [23:14] needhelp1: nope. because linux arhitecture is different. [23:14] needhelp1 - yeah windows viruses don't affect linux [23:14] can you guys please help. my sansa clip has been showing up as Read Only for the past week or so when I plug it in. just randomly started doing it. [23:14] the first size of a byte was 4-bits until the 80s [23:15] anyone know how to change the default burning app, one I selected isn't working and i checked the always perform this action box - jaunty [23:15] uh damn... misstype... yes you have right needhelp1 :D it wouldn affect [23:15] can i install ubuntu on a second partiion if my hard drive is formated as ntsf? [23:15] ntfs [23:15] yes [23:15] yaris123456789: try using synaptic and uninstall all gnash/flash stuff and the reinstall the relevant one... check with going to about:plugins in FF to see which plugin you're currently using... [23:16] needhelp1: yes... since ubuntu have his own partition manager [23:16] yaris123456789: about : plugins without spaces [23:16] homeskill: You might be correct, I'm just saying I've never heard of it. As for misinterpretation, I liken it to how hard drive manufacturers use 1,000 instead of 1024. [23:16] needhelp1 - just resize yours ntfs partition with the ubuntu installer [23:16] is this pretty safe, any chance of corupting my windows installation ? [23:16] Fishscene do you know why bytes are 8 bits? [23:16] needhelp1 - always goes smooth for me [23:16] needhelp1: only if you select the wrong partition [23:17] always backup [23:17] then its safe' [23:17] I don't know the story behind it, no. [23:17] Fishscene: you can thank x86 for making 8bit bytes prevalanet. There are other options though, for example, PIC microcontrollers have a 12 bit instruction byte [23:17] :)) [23:17] homeskill: why is a inch 2.54 centimeters? [23:17] like ryan said [23:17] ryan: even backup is not safe :P [23:17] anyone know how to change the default burning app, one I selected isn't working and i checked the always perform this action box - jaunty [23:17] Hey guys BIG NEWBIE question what is the shortcut key to empty teh recycle bin in UBuntu gnome? [23:17] anyone using netbook remix? [23:17] ryan: im not worried about my files.. im worried about not having another windows installation cd to reinstall [23:17] needhelp1 they were 8 bits because that represents the numbers 0-255 which is used to show that character range [23:18] ahh [23:18] its not my pc.. but the user still uses windows so [23:18] not every character range requires 0-255 thoguh [23:18] mib_89zzf0p1# 3 years in, and i didnt know there was a shortcut for that... [23:18] newbsawbit: gksudo gedit /etc/gnome/defaults.list [23:19] is there anyway to change the program icons in the netbook remix launcher? [23:19] newbsawbit: and look for x-content/blank [23:19] newbsawbit: do a copy before you make changes [23:19] for ubuntu? [23:19] Hey guys BIG NEWBIE question what is the shortcut key to empty teh recycle bin in UBuntu gnome? [23:19] i dono about all that homeskill.. old school computers could only send code in 8 bits.. so it was natural to write code in this manor [23:19] Do i need virus protection for ubuntu? [23:19] no edge you dont need... [23:19] I am running the remix on an Acer-3560 (not a netbook) [23:20] edge: You can get it, but you dont necessarily need it [23:20] so i dont need firewall or anything? [23:20] 3620 [23:20] hey all, has can anyone recommend a slideshow creator? .......A google search show manslide, and dvd-slideshow, I was hoping there were some other options [23:20] keith, do you know how to change program icons in the launcher?? [23:20] stormwinged - great thanx, will do [23:20] mib_89zzf0p1: as far as I know, there isn't one [23:20] ohh .. [23:20] r there viruses out there for ubuntu? [23:20] edge: Linux OS's have security through obscurity, that is, virus writters generally don't make them for linux because of the low market share [23:20] is it possible to make one [23:20] edge you already have a firewall [23:20] edge: no [23:20] yeah, linux has like 2 % of the market [23:20] edge: There are afew, but none currently that can propagate if you're updated [23:20] newbsawbit: you`re welcome [23:21] Could i get a virus on ubuntu that crashes windows but not ubuntu? [23:21] yes [23:21] needhelp that would be a pretty bad reason to continue using 8 bit bytes [23:21] is it possible to make a keyboard shorcut to empty recyclebeen [23:21] edge: i would be suprised if you could get a 'virus' on ubuntu [23:21] edge# yes [23:21] ryan, actually it's considerably more than 2%, around 4% at the moment [23:21] maco, even if he dont have wine? i though not [23:21] edge: sure, you could have a file that contains a virus on Ubuntu, but it wouldn't do anything unelss you open it when you're running Windows [23:21] its not like you are going to go to Youtube and get one.. :) [23:21] edge: yes, but there's none out there that do that currently [23:21] and that's just the desktop market [23:21] What r the chances of getting a virus that makes windows crash from ubuntu? [23:21] StormWinged# he asked about it crashing windows, not ubuntu [23:22] mib_89zzf0p1: you could create a script removing all files: ~/.local/share/Trash/*/* and link a eayboard combo to it... [23:22] pvvni: that's not 100% true. Even tho linux us low market share, the general differences in builds, across distributions, and the better lockdown we enjoy helps prevent the spread of "windows" styled virus in linux [23:22] yes maco [23:22] ryan, I have not tried..preference >main menu >properties.... no that isn't it [23:22] edge: if you are that worried about it.. dont mount your windows partitions.. [23:22] StormWinged# if his windows can read his ubuntu partition, and his ubuntu partition has a windows virus [23:22] how do i make the script :) [23:22] but his question reffer if he get the file ON ubuntu, and not running on windows [23:22] edge: 'makes windows crash from ubuntu' not quite sure what you mean [23:22] do i just copy and aste that as te command [23:22] Dracofodder: No I agree, the unix model is inherently more secure than windows. [23:22] because i installed thunderbird and i like the see the icon in the launcher, instead its just the generic icon, :( [23:22] Dracofodder: However, that's not to say that it isn't just as easy to write virus for linux as it is for windows [23:22] StormWinged# well it cant crash his windows til he runs it, now can it? so if he gets the virus onto the computer while ubuntu's running, after he boots into windows, it could infect windows [23:22] hi [23:23] I find users tend to be more dangerous to theirselfs then the viruses are. [23:23] quick question: How do I upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04? System has not asked me to upgrade, like in earlier version releases [23:23] like a trojan for windows [23:23] He'd still have to *run* it from windows himself though [23:23] where is the ubuntu mission/vision statement? i saw this some time ago but i cannot seem to find it again on google or ubuntu.com search [23:23] SonhadorPR# you have to upgrade to 8.10 in between [23:23] it all sounds rather unlikely [23:23] edge: if you get a virused file on ubuntu, you can not affect windows, it will be affected only after you switch on windows and acces the file from ubuntu [23:23] ienorand: File name: libswfdecmozilla.so [23:23] Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999 [23:23] Could i get a trojan that crashes windows from using ubuntu? [23:23] Dracofodder: Trojans for instance, although not viruses, are pretty much OS independant in terms of difficulty to create [23:23] SonhadorPR# in system administration software sources, tell it to show you new versions that are available other than LTS ones [23:23] edge: Yes, but there are none that do it [23:23] damn edge... understand a thing... linux and windows are different [23:23] If i use ubuntu to download things could i get a virus such as a trojan that crashes windows? [23:23] so is that a negative on the slideshow creator? [23:24] i love my asus eee :) [23:24] edge, stop asking and start listening; [23:24] edge# yes, of course you can still download windows viruses [23:24] brandonban6: huh? [23:24] ok, didn't know that...then, how to tell the system to go ahead and upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? [23:24] edge# they wont infect ubuntu, but if theyre on a filesystem that windows can access, they can still infect windows [23:24] but you can't *infect* your windows from ubuntu with them, you'd still have to use windows and access the virus [23:24] been using this thing for a few hours and still have 86% battery left [23:24] edge... at least... no operating system is safe... for your all answers about viruses and trojans [23:24] yaris123456789: at least for 10 the file is supposed to be libflashplayer.so [23:24] SonhadorPR: run 'update-manager -d' [23:24] Great, so is there good virus protection that prevents virus from getting on windows? === eric__ is now known as Etherael [23:24] edge, dont worry about viruses [23:25] !virus | edge [23:25] edge: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [23:25] Dr_Willis, I was seeking out a slideshow creator, see if someone could recommend one......i'm looking into dvd-slideshow and manslide, but neither look too user friendly. [23:25] edge: there is clamav which is pretty good virus software [23:25] just dont be stupid about what you are doing [23:25] SonhadorPR# system / administration / software sources. enable showing non-LTS upgrades, then run the update manager [23:25] !antivirus | edge [23:25] edge: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [23:25] edge how old are you? [23:25] Hey guys, quick q: Does anyone know a good / comfy / quality USB headset that works perfectly with linux? [23:25] edge: but you probably don't need it [23:25] pvvni: true enough. depending on the implementation. main thing is we have a lot less to worry about in that realm. [23:25] StormWinged: that is not relevent [23:25] where can i find docs on setting PHP up to access file uploads? [23:25] edge: There's no need to get any virus protection. The only reason you'd ever want it is if was required by a company [23:25] ok, let me try that.. [23:25] brandonban6: ffmpeg or mencoder can also make them . i saw some at get-deb.net (or whatever its called) [23:25] edge: but if you're still paranoid, go get clamav [23:25] mib_89zzf0p1: no that is just where the files are located [23:25] i have a creative fatality headset, its pretty nice. havent tested with linux though [23:26] ienorand: how do i fix this problem? i want flash 10 [23:26] ienorand: i installed the .deb [23:26] he left before he answer :P [23:26] Dr_Willis, sweet, I'll check those out. [23:26] is anyone here using samba on jaunty? [23:26] guys, i'm running 8.10 and i'm planning to install lxde... how do i backup my current system setting in case lxde fails, i can revert back to my last working state? [23:26] only reason I'm getting it is for linux use so it's pretty critical it has perfect linux support. [23:26] install the .deb from adobe [23:26] jm^2: Yea [23:26] .mangle i am on jaunty my friend. [23:26] ryan, I have not tried..preference >main menu >properties.... THEN click on the icon and other choices will appear [23:26] ryan: i did [23:26] and by the way, is lxde now stable on 8.10? [23:26] yaris123456789: doeasn't adobe supply flash 10 currently? [23:26] pvvni: does it segfault on a regular basis for you? [23:26] anybody has an idea of why tomboy now autostarts in its own window instead than in the tray at login? [23:26] jm^2: nope [23:27] my gnome-do install is suddenly broken [23:27] i launch and nothing happens [23:27] did you restart your browser? [23:27] ienorand: i've installed the flash 10 from adobe site using .deb....it says install complete, but about:plugins reveal nothing [23:27] http://yfrog.com/1jbarsj <-- can anyone tell me why my screen looks like this when i set it to 1024x768 instead of the default 1280x800 [23:27] anyone else having this problem? [23:27] ryan: yes of course [23:27] i tried purging and deletin the config file. still nothing [23:27] pvvni: you on 32 or 64 bit? [23:27] jm^2: You using it as asamba server or client? [23:27] jm^2: 32 [23:27] yaris123456789: and you have restarted all of firefox in between? [23:28] Noone uses a good USB headset with linux at all? [23:28] mortal1, 1280x800 is widescreen, 1024x768 is not; could be a monitor setting? [23:28] ienorand: yes. even restarted computer [23:28] pvvni: samba server [23:28] yaris123456789: THen I don't know, sorry [23:29] ror 8.10 didn't have this problem [23:29] jm^2: Yea I'm just using it as a client [23:29] ienorand: any way to remove the flash plugin [23:29] Agha [23:29] pvvni: ok, thanks [23:29] i think it's a ubuntu bug [23:29] Hi Conic [23:29] ienorand: i think some kind of collision with flash 9 [23:29] ok, doing DL now...it'll probably take about 6 hours...3 for 810 and 3 more for 9.04. [23:29] Hi...! [23:29] thakx again! [23:31] So I have no clue how to get connected on Ubuntu [23:31] what do you mean? [23:31] Well. [23:31] I just upgraded to jaunty. Where can I see a list of major things that changed? [23:31] I can't seem to connect wirelessly [23:31] how do i delete a file when it says permission denied ? [23:31] sudo ? [23:31] yes [23:31] if I have a built in mic, how can I tell the location? [23:32] also, if the command failed, you can type "sudo !!" and it will run the previous command with sudo [23:32] Chisuun: maybe wireless network are not very well working... in 9.04 [23:32] :< [23:32] Well, that sucks [23:32] yaris123456789: sudo rm -r [23:32] I don't want to go wired [23:32] wired is better :D [23:32] for fast speed ;)) [23:32] Not on a laptop it's not [23:32] Yeah, but....

[23:33] hello everyone. could someone help me out? I have an intel graphics card and the driver is only allowing 640x480... how do I fix it? I have only delt with nVidia in the past [23:33] I had wireless working on 8.10 , but it took working, as I have a atheros 5k card [23:34] Oh wait [23:34] http://yfrog.com/1jbarsj <-- has anyone seen this before with 9.04? Aparently it tries to enforce aspect ratios now [23:34] Does 9.04 have an ndiswrapper GUI? [23:34] if you still get permission denied you'll need to delete with sudo, but consider carefully why you might not have permission [23:34] can anyone give a recommendation for a comfortable / high quality USB headset that is perfectly linux compatible? [23:34] Chisuun: if you type lspci into a terminal it will give a list of your devices, one of them will be your wireless card [23:34] Damn it :< [23:34] Chisuun: ? [23:34] Uh... [23:35] The HP website isn't listing the name of the card [23:35] lo all. Does anyone know/remember if Ubuntu shipit cd's were available at the time of 4.10 and 5.04? [23:35] It's not even there :< [23:35] So do the lspci thing [23:35] Whoa [23:35] Lotsa specs [23:35] Chisuun: don't paste it in here ;) [23:35] Find the one that looks like a wireless card [23:36] Not an Ethernet controller [23:36] That's wired.
