[00:00] hello all. ive installed sun's java and changed the default java to use the sun version. ive also installed the sun java plugin....but firefox is still using the icetea version of java. how do i make firefox use the sun java plugin? [00:00] can some one tell me the command to stop the x server please [00:00] ghindo:sudo fdisk -l [00:00] piet: i did notice that sometimes the machine refuses to shitdown cleanly by itself, but getting unresponsive, i've only experienced it today [00:00] salvinod gdm stop ? [00:00] How do I load RAID drivers and mount the raid drives at boot? (I dont have to boot Ubuntu from the raid drive, just mount them automatically when I power up the machine) [00:00] * leOn laffs [00:00] !java [00:00] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [00:00] ghindo:identifier and filesystem-type ? [00:01] s/shitdown/shutdown/ [00:01] =D [00:01] Good things come at a price, I guess. Still, no way i am going back to XP. Thanks for pointers, guys [00:01] salvinod hit clt-alt-f2, login. run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop. do your nivida stuff, using sudo. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X . ctl-alt-f7 to get back to gui, if needed [00:01] leOn: not shutting down cleanly is probably another issue which is related to iwlagn. [00:01] i love those typos [00:01] RUbuntuNooB: that's not quite true [00:01] leOn: i thought so :) [00:01] DasEi: Okay, I see. I think I might be able to get it from here, thank you! [00:01] RUbuntuNooB: a lot of good programs are free as in price, but also freedom [00:01] !freedom [00:01] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [00:01] i think i lost my helper lol [00:01] RUbuntuNooB: you could always boot the livecd to test the video issue [00:02] i didnt mean price like money, heh. [00:02] Wicked: just install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:02] I meant like you have to work for it [00:02] Piet: i must say that i got really impressed by all the user friendlyness on ubuntu ... but all these hickups are making me think twice about it [00:02] RUbuntuNooB: for some stuff yeah [00:02] never paid for windows anyway)) [00:02] Piet: i'm a long time debian user [00:02] Sagaci, i have it installed. but firefox is still using icedtea [00:02] ghindo: it is an ext fsystem, nor ?

So should I just "fsck -V /dev/sdb1"? [00:03] kebomix do you have both installed now?

[00:03] leOn: please install the linux-backports-modules-* package, unless you already have. [00:03] RUbuntuNooB, to ease suspend working, you may choose to significantly enlarge the swap partition [00:03] Jack_Sparrow: i just was trying kde [00:03] kebomix under option where you login [00:04] DasEi: Nope, not mounted. [00:04] Alright [00:04] ghindo: sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb1 [00:04] Sagaci: no, I got given it [00:04] linxeh: yeah true Microsoft give out stuff for free as in price, to lock students in, anyway [00:04] !ot [00:04] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[00:04] kebomix Same menu you can set the default [00:04] diskin . yes, i'm fallowing the instructions... [00:04] leagris: wow, i thought 1.5 ram would be enough [00:04] diskin . :D [00:04] leOn: it could possibly also be the reason for the cpu issue. but maybe not. for sure it will be easier to tell once the one issue is gone. [00:05] i will give it a try [00:05] leOn Just hardware that is known to work [00:05] can't you just disable icetea via firefox? [00:05] DasEi: Got it, thank you for your help :D [00:05] Guest50329: you need mp3 codec installed. in fact do this sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras that should take care of that :) [00:05] and other things [00:05] hi [00:05] leagris: why would you want more swap than you have ram for suspend? [00:05] is it a good codec? i dont want ym music to sound like crap [00:05] Jack_Sparrow: i had a laptop like that last week .. but guess what .. it was OLD! =) [00:05] !hi | Laurenceb [00:05] Laurenceb: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:05] I'm trying to run an xp application under wine [00:05] RUbuntuNooB, suspend to disk swap all RAM to the swap partition + some state metadata [00:05] what app? [00:05] Whats with the landscape advertising in Ubuntu 9.04? How do I shut it off [00:05] err:comm:set_line_control ByteSize fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 1b000c (device=1b access=0 func=3 method=0) [00:05] Laurenceb /join #winehq [00:05] Laurenceb, winehq is a good resource [00:05] !wine | Laurenceb [00:05] Laurenceb: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [00:05] Guest50329: well MP3 is not exactly a good format, but that's to off topic to get into here [00:06] k [00:06] !appdb > Laurenceb [00:06] RUbuntuNooB, to that you have to add already used swap during runtime [00:06] Laurenceb, please see my private message [00:06] leagris: I'm successfully suspending with a swap partition that's considerably smaller than my ram, although in hindsight I should've made it a bit larger. [00:06] leOn: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/200509 in case you want to read up on this [00:06] and that talk about having last years hardware in order to run linux properly is really not much in favour of linux [00:06] leagris: ok, i ll try that [00:06] thanks, bye === ReX is now known as ReX0r [00:06] leOn Please stop [00:06] Laurenceb: if you care so much about sound quality, I highly recommend Flac [00:06] RUbuntuNooB: imho swap a bit larger than ram will work for the majority of cases (unless you're heavily swapping when you attempt to suspend, which shouldn't be common) [00:06] Laurenceb: sent to wrong person [00:07] anyone ever managed to compile freedce on ubuntu? [00:07] mzz, sure, you may suspend to ram without swap at all or you may suspend to disk with little swap unless you inteed use very little ram [00:07] What's Up! [00:07] Guest50329: if you care so much about sound quality I highly recommend Flac, yes the files are bigger, but they sound very good, and it's also an open format [00:07] Piet: thanks piet .. i decided to come here cause almost every post i saw was made by ubuntu users .. i'll try the backport modules as you sugested and i think i'll keep the vbox modules out of the equation for now too [00:07] leagris: do you regularly use significant amounts of swap? Because imho that's not common, unless the machine is annoyingly low on ram === gary_ is now known as Guest46676 [00:08] Guest50329: and Ubuntu has built in support for OGG and Flac, just like other Desktop Linux distros do [00:08] mzz, I often use wap beside I have 2Gb ram === vsemenov is now known as lothix [00:09] leagris: yes, but more than a few MiB of swap? [00:09] mzz, running a laptop [00:09] does anyone know a better ssh irc program ? [00:09] besides irris? [00:09] mzz, sometimes more than 50% of my 4Gb swap [00:09] ogg's dead though, in terms of portable players; and FLAC is too big for portables really :( [00:10] leagris: and performance is still acceptable? Odd, what kind of apps are you running that trigger that? [00:10] mzz, running WoW with wine [00:10] mzz, performance drop madly [00:10] WoW eats gigabytes of memory? I didn't know that [00:10] leagris: still, that won't hurt suspend unless you attempt to do it while WoW is running :) [00:10] virtual memory at 8GB would be perfred for WoW [00:10] ror: portable players, some have support [00:10] that's what i think anyway.. [00:11] * joeDeuce almost smashed his box with a hammer... removing jockey fixed it though :) [00:11] very few have ogg support though, especially not out the box [00:11] leOn: if you're not currently using virtualbox, it sure doesn't hurt to remove the modules. [00:11] ror: yeah well, because they are for profit companies, that like their propritary vender lock in formats [00:11] but this is all rather OT [00:11] ror: yep [00:11] Piet: yep, i'll blacklist them and insert them before firing it up, if i need it [00:12] leOn: i would also suggest that you boot up from a live cd and run a fsck.ext -f on all file systems belonging to your linux installation [00:12] leOn: that's since it can also be a FS issue. [00:13] Does anyone know if its possible to add a swap partition after install and still have hibernate work? [00:13] Can I have a list of Ubuntu-compatible MMOs besides EVE? [00:13] Edwardxp, I have significant slowdowns on WOL new areas and the crawded Dalaran city. The laptop gfx card, slow disk swap don't help [00:13] leOn: if I get this correctly then the kernel is having an issue reading acquiring a lock state, which is often stored in a lock file. [00:13] CoJaBo-Aztec: yeah sure [00:13] CoJaBo-Aztec: you can add swap [00:13] How would that be done? [00:14] CoJaBo-Aztec: partition editor on Ubuntu Live CD [00:14] is there such a program like APTonCD except it's APTonUSB [00:14] hello , the power button on top task bar disappeared after installing KDE ? !!! , [00:14] CoJaBo-Aztec: if you need to resize another partition first, otherwise sudo apt-get install gparted [00:14] Hey guys. Does anyone know an easy solution for throttling the download and upload bandwidth of a NIC? I used to use "wondershaper", but now for some reason it doesnt work anymore. I can use the commands, but they have no actual effect. Thanks [00:14] CoJaBo-Aztec, create a swap partition, with gparted, resize your existing one if you dont have enough space, then just do sudo swapon, you dont even have to restart [00:14] leOn: finally, if it still occurs, install memtest86+ and run it overnight. [00:14] Piet: i chose ext3 specially because i wanted it to be trust worthy [00:14] hhoe can I instal the ubuntulooks in my ubuntu 9.04 [00:14] kebomix: right-click.. add... [00:14] CoJaBo-Aztec: you'll want to add it to /etc/fstab though so it's used at every boot [00:14] how do i get rid of this free JRE 1.5 and get SUNS JRE to work with eclipse [00:15] CoJaBo-Aztec: actually I guess swapon won't work if it's not in fstab anyway [00:15] leOn: good choice then [00:15] This system was created with only primary partitions, so no room for swap but I intend to fix that later on. [00:15] Is there anything special I need to do to re-enable hibernate then? [00:15] hmm .. linux-backports-modules-2.6.28-11-generic provides updated version for the iwlagn firmware [00:16] has the jaunty kernel bug been fixed yet, where it wont let you disable ipv6 ? [00:16] and also the 802.11 stack [00:16] leOn: luckily, yes [00:16] leOn: you probably want to install linux-backports-modules-jaunty though, so it stays up to date [00:17] jtaji: better go for the meta package .. understood [00:17] Hi... How could I get my cpu fans working good on my laptop with battery manager? To get my fans working I need to set acpi=off for kernel initialization... but this command unable my battery admin... Debian works great with this things, but Ubuntu is so better for my linux skills... I love it and I need it... LOL... thanks for any advice [00:17] leOn: yeah it has solved problems on my thinkpad since intrepid [00:18] jtaji: on a thinkpad too [00:18] jtaji: Do you know what would need to be done to fix hibernate then? [00:18] t500 [00:18] t61 [00:18] i had an r52 until last week =) [00:19] CoJaBo-Aztec: I don't think you have to do anything... not positive [00:19] I NEDD THE UBUNTULOOKS TO UBUNTU 9.04 [00:19] in synaptic, is there any way to help fill the screenshots of the packages, or is all that done by the developers [00:19] !caps | nisperuza [00:19] nisperuza: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [00:19] WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD [00:20] haha [00:20] Sagaci: I think it's done by developers [00:20] i am actually unable to read lowercase [00:20] Sagaci: Synaptic is pretty good yeah, but sudo apt-get install program :) [00:20] i have a dilemma with my microphone input. I have on of the Dells (m1330) that can pre-installed with Ubuntu. It comes with a mounted microphone array. For some reason, audio captured from the array is extraordinarily quite to the point that when I initially tested it, I thought it wasn't working even though every alsa/pulse slider I can find is all the way up. Does anyone know what might be wrong? [00:20] jtaji: I have done this on one other computer, and it appears that it looks for the swap by its GUID independantly of the /etc/fstab settings. I cannot find where this is set, and don't want to create another system that cant hibernate.. [00:20] I'd tell Kaie` that must be really annoying, but he wouldn't be able to read it. [00:20] Anyone know of any linux mmos [00:20] I'm trying to do a dist upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04, but my system is not behaving as it says it would on the website [00:20] =] [00:21] sebsebseb: i know it seems quite minor but I think that would help new ubuntu linux users adapt quicker, just by having small screenshots [00:21] d-admin, what is it doing? [00:21] how to remove kde 4.2 complete remove ? :@ [00:21] d-admin: you can't just upgrade 8.04 to 9.04 you would have to go through 8.10 first [00:21] it I know that [00:21] CoJaBo-Aztec: dunno, I've never been in your situation [00:21] !puregnome | kebomix [00:21] kebomix: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » [00:21] well, when i had xp installed my music sounded much better for some reason, now i have ubuntu, and my music doesnt sound good, low bass, and so on [00:21] Lyth: iirc "eternal lands" is one [00:21] but it kees saying that my system is uptodate, it wont even let me upgrade to 8.10 [00:21] kebomix, maybe sudo apt-get autoremove kde-desktop ?? [00:21] thanks, anyone [00:22] Guest50329: alsamixergui installed ? [00:22] whats that? [00:22] d-admin, how are you upgrading update-manager -d [00:22] run "update-manager -d" [00:22] d-admin: you have to change something so it will let you upgrade to 8.10 [00:22] d-admin: you have to tell it that you wan't non LTS releases as well [00:22] the power button that connected with pidgin status disappeared ? any solution [00:22] ok, what do I do that? [00:22] Guest50329: a util to regulate volumeand even more showing correct soundcard(--driver) [00:22] !upgrade | d-admin [00:22] d-admin: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:22] Does anyone know how (K)Ubuntu determines which swap partition to resume from hibernate so I can fix it? [00:23] so once i install that will it find my correct sound card and all? [00:23] d-admin: System > Software Sources > Updates > Release Upgrade -- this will need to be set to "Normal releases" [00:23] Guest50329: sudo apt-get install alsamixergui [00:23] system > administration > software sources > updates tab > check for updates "normal releases" [00:23] Does anyone know of any high quality MMOs for linux? [00:23] thanks! [00:23] Lyth: games? [00:23] Guest50329: alsamixergui [00:23] yes [00:23] I think I fugured it out, I forgot about the LTS thing... [00:23] Lyth: Ragnarok Online [00:23] thanks! [00:23] cojabo: I've run into this before, I recall having to edit /etc/fstab, let me see if I can dig up the directions for you. [00:24] Guest50329: upper right corner > s-card listed correctly? [00:24] sebsebseb: i usually use cli to install packages now anyhow, but sometimes I prefer synaptic to just browse [00:24] Lyth: 42 of the best free linux games 42 of the best commercial linux games search for that in google and you will get onto stuff [00:24] yeah i got sigmatel [00:24] Lyth: also you could like search the history for a site such as linuxtoday.com and find out what games articles they had [00:25] Hi, if I change blacklist.conf, does that take immediate effect or what command should I use? [00:25] sevodnya: I edited /etc/fstab, and swap works but hibernate fails to resume (still looks for the old GUID). If you can find instructions to fix that, I'd greatly apreciate it. [00:25] Anything about good acpi admin... ? I cant use cpu fans with ubuntu... acpi=off just put it turned on all the time... and my battery has no administration [00:25] I'm tried to start iptables automatically by placing a shell script in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ [00:25] Lyth: loads of good Linux games out there as well, you just need to know about them. synaptic has a few in there as well === bruno is now known as Guest19882 [00:25] Sagaci: yep that's like me [00:25] guys , wut is the name of the button on the top right corner that manager power ( restart - log out - shutdown ) and connected with pidgin status ? [00:26] but it doesn't execute the iptables script [00:26] wgar does this alsa mixer do [00:26] what* [00:26] what am I missing? [00:26] Hey guys. Does anyone know an easy solution for throttling the download and upload bandwidth of a NIC? I used to use "wondershaper", but now for some reason it doesnt work anymore. I can use the commands, but they have no actual effect. Thanks [00:27] welcome Bryan_01 [00:27] ralmar: diffserv? [00:28] kebomix: notification area, user switcher, shut down [00:28] tks Azodon [00:28] cojabo: Try "sudo update-initramfs -u" [00:28] no problem [00:28] leOn: you may want to subscribe to this if you haven't already: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/376363 [00:28] I have a quick question. I'm trying to compile a program from source. It says it needs libcurl. I see that there are a number of packages with the name curl in them. Which one do I need? [00:29] I tried just 'curl', and that wasn't enough. [00:29] How do I load RAID drivers and mount the raid drives at boot? (I dont have to boot Ubuntu from the raid drive, just mount them automatically when I power up the machine) [00:29] how do i add the "task bar" to a panel? [00:29] Renfield: aptitude search libcurl [00:30] Renfield: hopefully, there will be a package actually called libcurl [00:30] Renfield, you probably need the libcurl-dev package. Often when compiling you need the -dev for associated libs [00:30] kirlyin: right click panel, add to panel, search for window list [00:30] ralmar: there might be better solutions, one is ethtool : http://paste.ubuntu.com/172663/ [00:31] s34n: Yea! Why does that command show libcurl-dev, but apt-cache search libcurl doesn't? [00:31] oh there it is..thanks [00:31] Renfield: oddly enough there's no libcurl4-dev, and I'm not sure if you want libcurl4-openssl-dev or libcurl4-gnutls-dev, but I'm pretty sure you want one of them. [00:31] I've been using apt-cache search, I thought that was the way to go. === rouva_ is now known as rouva [00:32] Renfield, installing -devs that you don't need won't hurt anything, it will just take up a little disk space [00:32] I have a quick question: I installed Ubuntu using Wubi; Ubuntu resides on a virtual disk on my physical hard drive. Inside Ubuntu, looking at System Monitor, it list my physical hard drive as "/host". Can I safely mount and use it? [00:32] mzz: aptitude search libcurl shows me a libcurl4-dev. You think I should go with that instead of libcurl-dev? [00:32] what is the best practive for loading an iptables ruleset at startup? [00:32] hello, I"m running 8.04 and am having trouble getting recent nvidia drivers to work [00:33] Renfield: I wouldn't be at all surprised if both libcurl-dev and libcurl4-dev are just aliases for one of the two packages I mentioned. [00:33] Strife89: no [00:33] Renfield: (I'm not in ubuntu currently, can't check) [00:33] s34n: I use /etc/rc.local [00:33] Strife89: don't think so, and Wubi is only good for trying Ubuntu, woudn't normalley recommend it though for various reasons. real partitions :) [00:33] whats the name of the ubuntu browser? natilius ? === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [00:33] kryle: nautilus [00:33] sebsebseb: isn't it already mounted (on /host)? [00:33] thank you ! [00:33] panzor: it seems like the /etc/network stuff was made for this purpose [00:34] err, wrong nick [00:34] Strife89: ^^^ [00:34] panzor: but perhaps I'm misunderstanding [00:34] mzz: When I try to install libcurl-dev it says I need to select the openssl or gnutls version. [00:34] sebsebseb: Meh, I've been reluctant to repartition my new notebook's drive, but if that's the case, then.... :) [00:34] Renfield: heh. [00:34] Renfield: can't help you there, I don't know offhand which would preferable. [00:34] Strife89: it's not hard to do real partitions :) [00:34] s34n: I just add the lines that add rules to my rc.local and I don't think anything more of it. It works for me. [00:35] sebsebseb: I know, but one partitioning job on an old desktop went rather badly, and I've been scared of partitioning since. [00:35] mzz: I'm asking on the channel for the application I'm compiling. [00:35] Strife89: yep most of us experienced Ubuntu users, woudn't normalley recommend wubi for various reasons [00:35] sebsebseb: On the other hand, that incident was three years ago. [00:35] Strife89: what happended? and I don't mind helping with partitining [00:35] do you know when brtfs will be available for ubuntu [00:36] bc_rich: not any time soon [00:36] sebsebseb: Actually, I think I later turned up some bad RAM on that system anyway. [00:36] bc_rich: don't hold your breath (the disk format wasn't even stable yet last time I checked) [00:36] Does anyone know how to manually update nVidia drivers enough to troubleshoot why mine won't work? [00:36] sebsebseb: I know that my laptop has a recovery partition, though, and I'm nervous about blowing it. [00:36] sebsebseb: apart from the installer is it really that bad? [00:37] so what is the best failsystem out there I can use with ubuntu [00:37] panzor: I'll try to help a little. First of all old or new graphics card? and which version of Ubuntu? [00:37] Strife89: from what I've seen the ubuntu partitioner is pretty safe as long as you pay attention to what you're doing. [00:37] strife89: The latest installers make it very easy to leave recovery partitions and whatnot intact; my laptop has one still in place. [00:37] Strife89: (you don't have to be an expert to use it, iirc it gives a nice overview of what it's going to do before doing anything irreversible) [00:37] mzz: Yeah, I've used it before. Way back with 7.04. :) [00:38] ubuntu 8.04, Quadro FX 570M (notebook version) currently running 169.12. This driver is over a year old and I want to upgrade due to the GPU getting way too hot. [00:38] mzz: let's see it puts itself inside Windows! Does that answer the question? :) :d heh more seriously if windows is fragmented Ubuntu can get slow. Wubi partitions can get currupted. The bootloader can completly mess up. Something really bad happens to Windows, well bye bye Ubuntu as well. [00:38] mzz: And that was on a machine that had a fudged-up partition table beforehand. === carlos is now known as Guest58300 [00:38] do anybody know any Ubuntu Italian Channel ? [00:38] Strife89: the only thing I found not entirely trivial (using the 9.04 alt installer) was getting it to install no bootloader (I already have one) [00:38] !it | Bryan_01 [00:38] Bryan_01: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

This driver is over a year old and I want to upgrade due to the GPU getting way too hot. [00:39] hello boys. I would like to know what is the driver ubuntu uses for touchscreens....why is it autocalibrated? how Ubuntu can autocalibrate it? [00:39] sebsebseb: that's true, you're depending on windows leaving the file alone. I don't know all that much about wubi's boot loader setup. [00:39] Strife89: what bootloader did you have installed before? [00:39] Grazie ubottu !!! [00:39] !evtouch [00:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about evtouch [00:39] !touch [00:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about touch [00:39] !screen [00:39] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH.

[00:39] !calibration [00:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about calibration [00:39] how do i make hardy see all 4GB of my ram (32bit version of ubuntu).... as opposed to the 3GB it currently sees [00:39] jeniffer: don't get too bot-happy, or open a private chat window with the bot [00:40] kansan__: that might not be possible without upgrading to a 64-bit kernel [00:40] Stife89: Sorry, wrong nick there. === media_ is now known as media` [00:40] kansan__: ubuntu uses the extra gig for the kernel, so it's not being wasted you just don't see it listed and you can't use it for regular things [00:40] mzz: it puts the Windows bootloader on and edits it, so Grub can boot up Ubuntu, but I been here when people coudn't boot up either Windows or Wubi/Ubuntu [00:40] sevodnya: Ah. :) [00:40] mzz, should i run the 64 bit version of ubuntu instead or something? [00:40] mzz sorry for the inconveniences...how can i open a private window? [00:40] kansan__: I think I would with that amount of ram, but I haven't researched this, so don't just take my word for it. [00:40] panzor, are you sure? [00:40] Alright, I'll give it a go. [00:41] jeniffer: depends on your irc client. Try "/msg ubottu !evdev" [00:41] "/msg ubottu !evdev [00:41] jeniffer: sorry, without the quotes [00:41] kansan__: well, that's what I've heard and it's kept me from messing with PAE to get it to work. Google search PAE if you're not convinced. [00:41] panzor, pae? [00:41] i guess i should just google search ;p [00:41] panzor: old graphics card? Which type of?

[00:42] The command "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" is failing with the message "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)". It appears from http://tinyurl.com/pdnfem that this is a long-standing problem. I tried the suggestion on that page to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a". This did turn up a package problem, but fixing it so the dpkg command ran without errors did not correct the tasksel problem. Any suggestions as to how to proceed? [00:42] 32bit operating systems can surely only use 3Gigs of ram, hence 32 bits of addressing space?? [00:42] panzor....related to slitaz? [00:42] someone please correct me if I'm wrong [00:42] jeniffer: I really don't, sorry [00:42] sebsebseb thanks [00:42] jeniffer: Um...no? [00:43] i'm getting this error when i boot my pc "grub loading stage 1.5. grub loading please wait error 17" [00:43] There was this tool in gnome, When I plugged in a camera once it got automatically detected and could get my pictures off, But I'm on debian now, And I'm trying to get my pictures off.... So what was/is the name of the tool? [00:43] ror: 4, not 3, but it's complicated a bit by how physical ram gets mapped to virtual memory. [00:43] super_hoops: "error 17" is mapped to an actual error message in the grub manual. [00:43] panzor: ok try this [00:43] ror: up to four (without mod), but all ram are counting, like graphics and so on [00:43] panzor: system > administaration > hardware drivers [00:44] super_hoops: looked it up for you: "Cannot mount selected partition", "returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB." [00:44] CyberSix, digiKam on kde or fspot on gnome probably [00:44] ok [00:44] jeniffer: no problem [00:44] super_hoops: iirc that usually means the boot partition changed, and reinstalling grub is usually the quickest fix [00:44] heya [00:44] !grub | super_hoops [00:44] super_hoops: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:45] * ror hugs his 512MB of ram [00:45] sebsebseb: okay, then what [00:45] super_hoops: (the "boot partition" being the one grub itself is on, which may or may not be the same as your root partition) [00:45] !ot | ror [00:45] ror: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:45] i have a rather strange question.... will ubuntu running xubuntu-desktop run just as fast as just having xubuntu? I ask b/c my laptop is running Ubuntu but is a bit slow due to graphic card limitations, and I'd like to see if Xubuntu-desktop will speed it up [00:45] ror: heh :) [00:45] * CoJaBo-Aztec wonders if its a good idea to sacrifice the Dell utility partition in order to create a swap partition... [00:45] CyPiNinja: could also be gtkam [00:45] panzor: anything availalbe? [00:45] cojabo: how big is your hard drive? [00:45] yeah the ubuntu partition was on the same hard drive as my XP install. how do i go about re-installing grub? [00:45] sevodnya: 80GB [00:45] javyn: I think so (as long as you switch your session to it, obviously), but get a second opinion [00:45] ok [00:45] sebsebseb: Yeah, it's the driver I'm currently using, the old one [00:46] super_hoops: see the "RestoreGrub" thing ubottu gave you === amit is now known as Guest54330 [00:46] panzor: maybe there isn't a later driver available [00:46] panzor: also trying to install one yourself, can really go bad [00:46] super_hoops: iirc those instructions work for more than just windows overwriting it. [00:46] just spotted it :D cheers. [00:46] How do I load RAID drivers and mount the raid drives at boot? (I dont have to boot Ubuntu from the raid drive, just mount them automatically when I power up the machine) [00:46] sebsebseb: I know, it's not working [00:46] i installed alsamixer, but it says my card is pulse audio, which is not true, i think this is why my sound mp3s sound like crap right now, what can i do? [00:46] panzor: what's the problem with the current? [00:46] cojabo: I mean, I've left 5GB for my swap, and I've never had a problem; how much room do you have to play around with between ubuntu and swap? [00:47] sebsebseb: It's over a year old and the GPU is getting to 80C [00:47] Guest54330: this is a feature I do not know how to work around without killing pulse completely, which may not be desirable. [00:47] panzor: ok well that is probably a sign to tell you that your hardware is failing [00:47] ok i'll go through that recovering ubuntu thing now and let you know how i get on. cheers guys :D [00:47] dasei i dont think ethtool is what im looking for... its to set the speed of your ethernet like 100mbs 50 mbs.. full duplex, etc [00:47] sebsebseb: I dunno, it doesn't do this on windows that has the updated driver. That's why I want to update this one [00:47] sevodnya: I have a total of 10GB free, but only one primary partition entry left. The utility partition takes only 70MB, but uses up a partition table entry. [00:48] sevodnya: isn't 5GB a bit of overkill? [00:48] sevodnya: The problem is, I;m not certain what the utility partition does... [00:48] mzz: thanks. i'm not sure. up until recently i've been a windows user, and i'd never ever have considered installing another desktop or window manager. it would at best make my computer slow as hell, at worst crater the OS. I'm not sure if Linux is the same way [00:48] guest54330: pulseaudio can occasionally cause problems, but I've never known it to cause sound degredation. [00:49] javyn: it's entirely possible to have three of them installed without them getting seriously in each others way. I don't know if the ubuntu install enables any system services that xubuntu doesn't, but those aren't too hard to disable if you find someone to give you a list. [00:49] kelwing: probably, but I've got a 200GB drive, and I'm barely using 35 for anything--I was just wondering why not having enough space for both swap and utility would be an issue on an 80 gig. [00:49] how do I set the region on a new DVD drive? I've tried regionset and it didn't work. [00:49] Kelwing: I think for hibernete needs swap to be at least as much as RAM. I have 4GB, so my swap will also probably be about 5GB. [00:49] jeniffer: in case you didn't find an answer yet, google for tslib and pointercal and you're bound to find loads of examples [00:49] panzor: nividas stupid nivida driver in stupid .bin format, with it being a bit of a pain to install those, and then xorg messing up maybe/probably. I am not that sure what to do anyway, but tried stuff like this before, no fun at all. Anyway stick around and someone else will probably help. [00:49] Guest54330: other possibilities include: wrong sound driver used (not that likely), you using a media player with a configured equalizer before [00:50] i put xubuntu and kubuntu desktops on my desktop computer. xubuntu rocks but kubuntu is crap imo. i think xubuntu would be great on my laptop. xfce is nice [00:50] CoJaBo-Aztec: it'll suspend with less swap than ram as long as not all ram is used for anything but disk cache. [00:50] no offense to kde fans, but you know, each his own [00:50] whats a good equalizer/ [00:50] ? [00:50] sebsebseb: Oh, I have no problem installing. The darn thing just won't work! haha. I'm thinking about compiling my kernel with it somehow...I dunno. [00:50] panzor: yeah .bins are a pain to install [00:50] Each time I hibernate or suspend, I have to reload the sound drivers to regain sound at wake up [00:51] panzor: you got to make them executable and stuff [00:51] sebsebseb: Not really, just sh .bin [00:51] mzz: What will happen if theres not enough? [00:51] Is there a workaround for that? [00:51] CoJaBo-Aztec: I've had it fail somewhat messily (attempt to suspend, then give up halfway through and restart, thrashing heavily) [00:52] CoJaBo-Aztec: err, resume, not restart. [00:52] sebsebseb: you only need to do chmod +x if you do ./.bin -- "sh .bin" should work without x rights [00:52] mord thank you very much.... [00:52] CoJaBo-Aztec: the "thrashing heavily" part of it was somewhat annoying, but it was easy enough to recover (just kill some apps and try again) [00:52] panzor: if I remember correctly you need to use commands yes, but you can't have a GUI when running [00:52] ok i'm stuck already lol. it says type "find /boot/grub/stage1...i get the error like it says i might. so i put in find /grub/stage1 and i get the same error 15. file not found. any ideas? [00:52] I should have planty of space, so I think I could spare 4GB or so for swap on this computer just in case.. [00:52] panzor: alt f7 or whatever it was [00:52] panzor: for the shell [00:52] damn it, uninstalling kubuntu-desktop removed virtualbox [00:53] !info iprelay | ralmar [00:53] ralmar: iprelay (source: iprelay): User-space bandwidth shaping TCP proxy daemon.

I love ubuntu, but is too heavy for the hardware i have [00:53] Kelwing: panzor [00:53] super_hoops: where are you typing this, exactly? In a grub running inside ubuntu, or in a grub running natively? [00:53] hey, is there a way to play a specific YouTube video in Totem? I have the URL, but I can't find the video w/ the search box in Totem (Movie Player). [00:54] is there a ubuntu ver of the logitech keyboard manager? or is there one built in? [00:54] panzor: what is your problem? i joined after you had asked [00:54] i'm opening the terminal and rubbing it inside ubuntu [00:54] ralmar : http://www.inliniac.net/blog/category/traffic-shaping [00:54] jeniffer: for to heavy for the hardware you have? does the touch screen even work in Ubuntu? [00:54] super_hoops: hmm, sec [00:55] sorry for being a pain :) [00:55] super_hoops: I just haven't had to mess with grub recently [00:55] sebsebseb yes! it works perfectly...it is autocalibrated (i use this expression because i dont konw what else call it) [00:55] super_hoops: trying to remember if you have to mount your root partition inside ubuntu first [00:55] jeniffer: ok good === lavacano5 is now known as lavacano201014 [00:55] :) [00:56] super_hoops: actually, can you just try that? exit that grub prompt, make sure your partition is mounted (you can see /media/whatever/boot/grub/stage1), then try grub again [00:56] ralmar : wondershaper might also work [00:56] how come ubuntu says i only have 1 gig of ram when i have more [00:57] Guest54330: that sounds like you're using a kernel without high memory support for some reason [00:57] how can i fix that [00:57] Guest54330: which is odd, because the generic one has CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y. What kernel is this? [00:57] Guest54330: ("uname -a" will tell) [00:58] jeniffer: hmm. i'm currently running jaunty on a n810, i wonder what h/w you have that is too slow for ubuntu :) anyway, i don't think the calibration is done by a driver per se, at least on my n810 i just get the /etc/pointercal values from nokia-tablets-pointercal. i suppose there are at least good guesses for most of the more common touchscreens somewhere out there [00:58] type that in terminal? [00:58] Guest54330: Try also moving your RAM around to different slots.

[01:03] raving: I'll go see if I can find one for you [01:03] raving: it's quite possible to get a linux kernel + initramfs from the cd and everything else off the usb stick, but that doesn't help if most of the installer is in initramfs, which it might be. [01:03] mzz: sorry, new to all this lol. basically when i installed ubuntu it was supposed to go to the G: partition that i'd created...but for some reason it created a new partition i: and installed to that but it only created a partition large enough to install linux and not enough to actually install any updates etc. so i formatted both G & i partitions and joined them together to form one G partition. this is what has caus [01:03] ed all the problems.

[01:04] Kelwing: that looks like exactly what i need [01:05] i think i may have yes. but its messed up my dual boot so i can't even get into windows now to back stuff up for a complete fresh install. [01:06] can someone tell me what this error means when making an archive..... [01:06] An error occurred while adding files to the archive. [01:06] (null) [01:06] is there a way to load the nbr packages to a netbook that was upgraded using the update manager? [01:06] Guest54330: it really only sees 1 GiB (and it's a highmem-enabled kernel alright). Does the bios see all ram (during its boot time scan for example)? [01:06] fx [01:06] Can someone please help me fix my mouse problem on jaunty,Ive tried for two days now...Googling 100 topics did not work. The mouse randomly jumps across the screen and clicks [01:07] after you click ok the archive still seems to be there and seems to be intact [01:07] cipher: are you on a laptop? [01:07] CiPHER_: What kind of mouse do you have? (Ball, Thumb, Optical, Laser, Trackpad) [01:07] super_hoops: if your ubuntu partition is still there you should be able to mount it through the livecd. If you can not or if that partition is now empty you'll have to reinstall ubuntu (or run the "repair" option from a windows install cd to get windows to boot again) [01:08] how can i check? [01:08] just in bios? [01:08] dsabecky:ps2 ball mouse,2 buttons and a scroll button in the middle made by HP [01:08] Guest54330: I would check if the bios sees all ram, because if it doesn't it's highly unlikely the os is going to [01:08] ill brbr [01:08] Kelwing:No im not [01:08] Cipher: does it act normally in other operating systems? [01:09] Kelwing:It operated lovely under windows which I just wiped off my HDD [01:09] Kelwing:Ive tried just about EVERYTHING,lol... [01:09] mzz: so it's just fixboot and fixmbr that i run in the xp recovery? [01:09] super_hoops: those would make windows boot again, iiuc. [01:10] super_hoops: if you did indeed format all linux partitions you've lost grub and would have to reinstall to get it back [01:10] CiPHER_: never heard of that :( sorry. maybe try using it as USB or PS2 (whatever you're using, try the other) [01:10] i suppose you use PS2 mouse correct? [01:10] smerz:I tried that [01:10] CiPHER_ do you have any other mice around and you can try? [01:10] smerz:yes,ps2 [01:10] same effect ? [01:11] it's the same on usb ? [01:11] Kelwing:let me check [01:11] mzz: yeah i just wanna get into windows so i can back everything up then format and just go full linux instead of messing with both os' [01:11] does anyone have an idea about my issue ? [01:12] Kingsy101: how are you archiving, exactly? [01:12] Kingsy101: this sounds like a bug in the error reporting of the archiver === _jmatrix is now known as jmatrix [01:12] smerz:well,I think I tried that,I edited the xorg.conf file if thats what your talking about [01:12] CiPHER_: try a different mouse additionally you could try a ps2->usb adapter [01:13] smerz:The thing is this mouse works fine,except for when it jumps across screen clicking randomly [01:13] CiPHER_: bad hardware can do that because of how the ps/2 protocol works. If the mouse also supports usb switching to that will fix it [01:13] Kelwing:No I dont [01:13] mzz:Ok,how do I switch to USB [01:14] mzz:File editing? [01:14] does anybody know how to check whether compiz is using direct rendering? [01:14] Hello, i will help people with problems with ubuntu, edubuntu, and kubuntu [01:14] adapter or a 5$ mouse :( [01:14] CiPHER_: (I've had a ps/2 trackball do the same thing under windows (occasionally spazzing out with the pointer zooming around between the corners of the screen, occasionally clicking stuff in the process)) [01:14] mgmuscari: if direct rendering is enabled it should work. try glxinfo | grep ^direct [01:14] CiPHER_: it depends on the hardware. If the mouse supports it just finding a ps/2 -> usb adapter and plugging in through that will fix it. [01:14] CiPHER_: (please keep in mind ps/2 is *not* generally hotpluggable, although usb is) [01:14] mzz:ahh..I dont have an adapter :( [01:15] Anyone here need help [01:15] I had a KVM that would work fine using PS2 mice under windows. but not in linux. so linux apparently is more sensitive here [01:15] How can i list the content of "/" with size? [01:15] CiPHER: along with what mzz said, this happens with old/well used hardware. I have not really found a fix for this. Hopefully you do. [01:15] Kelwing:Yes,this has stumped everyone Ive spoken with and ive yet to see this problem before,lol [01:15] CiPHER_: there's a kernel option that may mitigate the problem somewhat. I haven't found a good page describing this, but http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Unix/Linux/LINUX_ErraticMouseBehaviorwithMouseFedoraandBelkinKVM.shtml is close. [01:16] CiPHER_: If you try another mouse it would help us rule out ubuntu being the problem [01:16] Enissay: via GUI or commandline? [01:16] Kelwing:Let me try to find one [01:16] Gos is cool [01:16] CiPHER_: (I'm talking mainly about the psmouse.resetafter kernel parameter, but please read the entire page for some background on the problem) [01:16] enissay: Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer gives you a graphical breakdown, if that would help === bk_ is now known as bk|away [01:17] smerz, commandline [01:17] hang on [01:17] sevodnya, thanks :) [01:17] nm mzz i always had 1 gig lol im a idiot [01:17] CiPHER_: (it's triggered by single bytes being dropped between the mouse and the computer, so it does probably happen more with old hardware with a slightly bad cable or connection) [01:18] there are 2 commands enissay, one to see filesystem usage and one to see the size of all subfolders etc (essentially the size of the location you're in) [01:18] CiPHER_: so time for a new mouse [01:18] Enissay, with cmd line use: du -skh /* [01:18] Kelwing:trying another one now [01:18] du is for filesystem usage [01:18] Guest65233: it's possible you have more but it's not all accessible because of some hardware issue. But as long as the bios doesn't see all of it you're almost certainly wasting your time debugging the os.

[01:25] boot_loop: you'd need serverside scripting for that [01:25] heh, sorry mgmuscari, I don't bother to read, obviously [01:25] Enissay: my /var is 700 mb [01:26] I have ~9GB for / and there s no free space there.... cant understand why!!! [01:26] well /var is using 5 GB [01:26] go into /var and run my command again [01:26] Enissay: you may want to change that --max-depth a little so you can see what in /var is using up space. [01:26] it'll tell you [01:26] Enissay: and/or cd into /var, yes. [01:26] Paddy_EIRE, no, it is a linksys pci card [01:26] Enissay: a lot of stuff is installed in directories under / [01:27] mgmuscari: ok thanks I will look into it...

[01:32] Enissay: log files [01:33] Enissay: system log and kernel log, normally these are only kept for 1 week. so they should not grow to 1.1GB [01:33] A 1 gb log file? [01:33] that seems... odd... where they at exactly Enissay ? [01:33] mikeh: I have 2 set up in my house [01:33] AWN starts [01:33] at /var/log location [01:33] compiz config also doesn't work [01:34] karl_: have you installed your video card drivers?

They only support bcm4311, 4312, 4321, and 4322. Dose this mean thar rhere is no support for my wifi? [01:41] cmatrix RULES! [01:41] Enissay: if you have logs cycling enabled. so you got messages, messages.0, messages.1 ... messages.6 and your logs are still 1.1GB on those first files you may wanna have a look in these logs as to why they are so big [01:41] other terminal programs I like (and am running as I type) irssi/irc client, and lynx-text web browser [01:42] nothing appears [01:42] I have compiled a driver, I need to load it when ubuntu boots.

[01:46] Hi [01:46] I have set up ubuntu with two network cards [01:46] LAN and WAN [01:46] kelwing: I'm running on an identical machine here, in 8.10, and it works beautifully if you install the driver through System > Administration > Hardware Drivers; I would be surprised if that's no longer the case uner 9.04. [01:46] hi all, evolution calendar is freezing up any ideas ? [01:46] what i want to do is that i need the Ubuntu machine to connect to a HTTP proxy server [01:47] b1n42y: works like a charm for me :( [01:47] so that LAN users when they browse the net [01:47] smerz, everything freeze when trying to open it xD.... how to disable what you called "log cycling"? [01:47] would be taken directly to the proxy server [01:47] and [01:47] devindersingh, thats no problem [01:47] i dont want them to set any proxy on the Browser [01:47] how can i do that [01:47] sevodnya: you have a different card. Some broadcom cards are supported, some aren't. Hes tried installing through Hardware Drivers already. [01:47] smerz: worked great for me also for the last 8 mths, very upset [01:47] Enissay: log cycling is something you want. for the moment you can just delete the biggest files (or all of em) [01:47] sevodnya: I have a broadcom card too. [01:47] devindersingh: i recall a 'transparent proxy' howto ages ago for that sort of thing.. (but ive never used it) [01:48] Hi Dr [01:48] Enissay: but i suggest reading the logs once they build up again. could be some issue with your system [01:48] can you let me know what needs to be configured on the Ubuntu [01:48] devindersingh, sudo nano /etc/envrionment [01:48] yesterday i tried to install squid on the ubuntu [01:48] !evolution [01:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution [01:48] devindersingh, then add this line http_proxy=http://proxy-url [01:48] smerz, is it safe? [01:49] Enissay: /var/log yes [01:49] ^^ [01:49] as long as you stay within /var/log !!!! [01:49] but i still need to enter the IP address of the Ubuntu WAN [01:49] realy thats all [01:49] wow [01:49] Hi FOx [01:49] Enissay: but theres a chance that something is going wrong continuously, thats why you should have a look into the newly written logs [01:49] is that all not tother settings [01:50] Enissay: i'm thinking disk failures etc [01:50] whenever you do sudo apt-get and after you get it, you have to update right? is the command updatedb? [01:50] devindersingh, thats all you need, just set that, then logout and back in and you'll be set [01:50] kirlyin: after you use sudo apt-get install program. there is no need for updatedb [01:50] how about IP tables any setings to add to IP tables [01:50] kirlyin: updatedb reads all files in your filesystem for fast searching using the command locate [01:51] devindersingh, for a user to access the web via a proxy? nope. [01:51] it creates a database of all files on your harddisk [01:51] instead od proxy URL can i add the proxy server IP address and port number [01:51] 202.75.62.230:62001 [01:51] ok, so what do i do when it says it can't find the newly downloaded file? [01:51] i dont know the proxy URL [01:51] Hello [01:51] devindersingh, yup, that will be fine [01:52] ok thanks Fox [01:52] ill give a try now and get back soon [01:52] kirlyin How was it downloaded, with firefox or other [01:52] kirlyin: you mean a newly downloaded program correct? not a file [01:52] program your right sorry [01:52] hello [01:52] no i used a terminal [01:52] kirlyin what are you trying to install or run [01:53] kirlyin: wget?

[01:55] kirlyin sudo apt-get install g15daemon would do what you wanted [01:55] kirlyin you should be able to find it in /var/cache/apt/archives and dbl click it [01:55] apt-get install most of the time downloads and install a program. this can be different for services/servers though [01:55] hi fox [01:56] the proxy url is already there [01:56] <[esde]> ok so i have gnome-power-manager appearing twice, i kill one, but it keeps coming back, Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 [01:57] esde: does power management work correctly other than this?

[02:11] Kelwing, thanks for the pointer. From what i read the broadcom driver, bcm4401, should already be in the 2.6 kernel. So why was it not recognize? [02:11] the video seemed better on Jaunty but too many other issues like also gspca [02:12] does anybody here have alsa working the way it's supposed to? [02:13] Hi mainbord pm8m-v, system test is ok, with awn manager i get a error to config compiz fusio [02:13] KDE and default gnome both seem fine with 9.04, just the NBR interface was VERY slow... [02:15] BorkedAlsa: yes [02:15] ah mikeh789, isn't it possible to disable it? [02:16] cesarino: you need to find out what video card you are using, and either enable compiz for it, or figure out why compiz iswent working.. or use some other compositing window manager [02:16] DasEi: what did you have to do? I can't even begin to get JACK to play nice while I'm depending on OSS and Pulse all the time [02:17] BorkedAlsa: just disable pulse, then.

[02:24] dtchen: maybe I'm missing something in the command you mentioned because I'm getting no process killed [02:24] homeskillet: I had a laptop that would do that, it turned out all that was needed was to push the wireless network card on/off switch [02:24] 56K modem! woowoo [02:24] mikeh789: the newest version is listed as garbage [02:25] mikeh789: at least the beta [02:25] yeah, i was using the older one 1.5 [02:25] wombatunder1 i dont have a wireless nic card on/off switch on my laptop afaik [02:25] mikeh789: try downloading 2.0 from the slingbox website [02:26] homeskillet: I'm sorry, I don't know what else then :-( [02:26] Kelwing: I tried that today [02:26] koshari: I'm using Hardy, 8.04 [02:26] Kelwing: I get a dot net install error [02:27] mikeh789: the new version uses the .net framework?

[02:30] well I know it is [02:30] But would it be a pain [02:30] mikeh789: Can you use 1.5 without updating? [02:30] will Ubuntu One be as large as I need?? [02:30] I wanted to triple boot Sabayon, Vista and Ubuntu. [02:30] codename: not much more than a dual boot [02:31] Kelwing: I'm not going to update cruncheee until I find another solution [02:31] Hi [02:31] mikeh789: well, I can't seem to find a definite solution. [02:31] dasei: well now I'm getting this from alsamixer ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused [02:31] Kelwing: its not the wine update either [02:31] mikeh789: ya, it's version 2.0 of slingplayer [02:32] BorkedAlsa: use asoundconf set-default-card [02:32] mikeh789: are you using ubuntu 9.04?

[02:35] can you create a primary parition with inside a extended parition ? [02:35] BorkedAlsa: does "speaker-test -c2" work as expected? [02:36] mikeh789: there is a tutorial on winehq.org if you can't remember where you found one the first time [02:36] dtchen: lemme see [02:36] Kelwing: I got it all saved locally [02:36] uh oh [02:36] mikeh789: alright, good luck.

It seems my laptop gets very hot when running Ubuntu (9.04) but not when running Vista. [02:41] Does anybody have full screen controls in VLC on Jaunty? [02:42] you say your laptop gets hot when running ubuntu but not windows? [02:42] that is really weird [02:42] I have a 1 gb usb thumb drive, trying to install unr. it always says there are two corrupt files, but the live boot works fine: can I somehow complete the install over the network or something? [02:42] JaredK: Yeah, it is. [02:42] whenever it does this restarting, a screen pops up saying "no drivers found" [02:42] Justin10ec: my hdd gets real hot on my laptop, but the processor stays cooler than with XP for me [02:42] oh [02:42] I see [02:42] Justin10ec have a lap cooler [02:42] i had that issue with IBM Thinkpad t42 and Feisty. The fan was always on, and the computer was getting hot. [02:43] DasEi: do you think it might be a more practical use of my time trying to get JACK and OSS to play together until Karmic comes out? [02:43] yeah [02:43] joeDeuce: How can I check the temperature? [02:43] in bios [02:43] could somebody please help me? >.< [02:43] homeskillet: could you specify what model or driver your wireless card is? [02:43] Justin10ec acpi [02:43] RHorse: ? [02:43] do you know how to get in the bios? [02:43] Justin10ec, lmsensors or something like that [02:43] there's some apps, you don't have to use bios [02:43] acpi -t [02:43] you should always be able to see the fan speeds and tempurtures in the bios [02:44] Anyone know why nautilus stopped remembering window sizes? Every time I resize, the next window I open resets to the default.

[02:45] homskillet: also try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" where wlan0 is the name of your wireless card as reported by iwconfig/ifconfig [02:46] jeremy_ What do you need help with?

[02:48] Justin10ec get a dock app that tells you temp cont check out dockapps.org [02:48] eseven73: thanks, just figured it out ;) [02:48] or dockapp.org [02:48] rahduke what option on boot have you tried F4 F6 [02:48] jeremy_: commonest cause of restarts is bad hardware: memory or power supply. It's almost never a software issue on linux, especially 8.10 which is quite mature [02:48] Anyone here an expert on wireless networking on ubuntu 9? [02:48] no [02:48] yes, power fupply big problem [02:49] computers very fussy about power [02:49] losher: i have 512MB of RAM [02:49] Is there a way to make an output of a sh script show in a box? It's just going to return text. [02:49] Jack_Sparrow: could this be happening cuz my DVD drive is faulty [02:49] joeDeuce, I don't think reiser fs is being updated anymore is it? Since the creator is in prison now...or did someone else take over the project? [02:49] rahduke That did not answer my question.. [02:49] jeremy_: you could run memtest overnight just to check, but my guess is failing power supply.... [02:49] losher: i know my PCU fan is making weird noises [02:50] As far as I can tell, my problem is that the Vaio smart network program that runs while I'm in Vista isn't running while I'm in Ubuntu. This makes sense, or it would, if the wireless hadn't been working not 6 hours ago >.< Anyone know what's wrong? Let me know if you need more info or specs. [02:50] eseven73: lmao... I didn't know that [02:50] Jack_Sparrow: i did not try F4 and F6 [02:50] I awnsered u musta missd it [02:50] losher: i just changed out the power supply a few minutes ago actually, to see if that works [02:50] is there an #ubuntu-drugs channel? [02:50] jeremy_: then replace your cpu fan too. overheating can cause restarts [02:50] losher: it could be a failing power supply i guess [02:50] I've been on it for a week now, with no data loss (that I'm aware of) [02:51] rahduke F6 and set noapci apic=off and F4 safe graphics, then enter [02:51] joeDeuce, yeah lol it's on wikipedia somewhere, just search for reiser file system , it's a nice file system though, no complaints [02:51] losher: luckily for me, i can get my hands on a CPU fan w/ the heat sync [02:51] ill try [02:51] thanks jack [02:51] k [02:51] anyone successfully set up ICS recently? [02:51] i've tried a bunch of things now, to no avail. === bk|away_ is now known as bk [02:51] jeremy_: it costs nothing to run memtest, and monitor your cpu temps. Next cheapest is a new fan. PSU is the most expensive option after that [02:51] I just noticed apt being stupid. I installed emerald, and apt suggested I install emerald-themes, which doesn't exist.

[02:52] hey guys, ubuntu noob here. i was wondering if there was an application for a transparent command line [02:52] jeremy_: monitor your cpu temps should tell you if you even need to bother... [02:53] I asked a question about b44 a few seconds ago, and then lost my connection. How do I check to see if I got an answer? [02:53] losher: true..is there a way i can monitor this without having to go through BIOS? [02:53] skellington: you mean the window transparent? [02:53] sdklhkfskfs [02:53] BorkedAlsa:I think gotta dissappoint you, can't find it at alsa and also hp m-audio doesn't support linux, just mac and win [02:53] BorkedAlsa:asoundconf list >output ? is it found ?

Can be mobo dependent though but worth trying... [02:54] anyone get sound out of hdmi audio with current ati proprietary fglrx driver in ubuntu 9.4, sound works with the xorg-radeonhd driver [02:54] losher: ill try lmsensors [02:55] skellington, Eterm can do transparent [02:55] jeremy_: no reason you can't do both... [02:55] skellington: in terminal, go to "Edit - Profile Preferences", click on the "Background" tab, then click "Transparent Background". Then play with the slider because you don't want it all the way [02:55] skellington, I think Aterm can too [02:55] if you pm me i will take it as a personal compliment [02:55] I need to mount a drive at boot. /etc/fstab doesnt work (I load the drivers in /etc/rc.local), how can I do that? [02:56] i dunno [02:56] skellington: if you only have 2-D graphics support, it will be "fake" transparency - if there's a window under it, it will still only show you the background picture. You must have 3-D for true transparency [02:56] ldiamond: couldn't you issue a mount command in rc.local after loading the drivers? [02:56] losher: right. ill pick up a heat sync tomorrow from class and try that. i will use your advice and install lmsensors right now though. it has to be replaced either way though [02:56] that slider thing worked but there doesnt seem to be a window behind my command line. [02:57] i have 3d graphics support. im pretty sure. [02:57] sevodnya, I tried that, it didnt seem to work... I dont know why (the same command works when used manually) [02:57] jeremy_: best of luck... [02:57] skellington: if you've got an ATI chip like i do, you have to enable the proprietary graphics driver - you get the free one by default [02:57] ldiamond: did it leave an error message in the log? [02:58] losher: thank you for your help. you've done quite a bit ^-^ [02:58] is there an ati chip in an eee pc? [02:58] !eee [02:58] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [02:58] sevodnya, I dont know where to look for one. [02:58] hey, is there a way i can get the old ctrl+alt+backspace to reset X back? [02:59] !dontzap | a-stray-cat` [02:59] a-stray-cat`: 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. [02:59] skellington - looks like the bot knows (ubottu), but i don't [02:59] What exactly is the Swap partition for? I understand it is a sort of virtual memory, but when is it used? My swap is at a perpetual zero.

[03:00] Hmm, okay, thanks. [03:00] no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [03:01] does it say any are available? [03:01] for my wifi card [03:01] nothing about graphics? [03:01] not a one [03:02] but i really think i have that ati card thing someone mentioned [03:02] Hey guys, how could i directly connet to internet without NetworkManager ? i am using Ubuntu 9.04 installed in virtualbox [03:02] Well, without knowing much about an EEE pc, i'd just give you the usual answer - you need to find out what kind of graphics card you got, and then find the driver [03:02] ubottu, how about installing to eee pc from live boot? [03:02] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:02] oh [03:02] dang [03:03] ill search it and report back [03:03] this is idiotic, it won't tell me which two files are corrupt [03:03] and it won't install [03:03] hobophobe: did you run the disc checker? [03:03] yes, it just says "two files corrupt" every time [03:04] no error from dd'ing the image to the thumb drive, the md5sum is fine [03:04] oh, well shit dude, throw it out and burn another one. If you think your download was bunk you can do an MD5sum on it too [03:04] it runs live just fine [03:04] this is a thumb drive, not a cd/dvd [03:04] Oh good lord why does OpenOffice look so ugly? [03:04] didn't anytign happen while I was unconscious? [03:05] byte^: because it loves you? [03:05] i've had cd's that installed fine but a month later, it didn't set the ext3 just right, and there goes all my shit. If you suspect the disc might have problems, you should really burn a new disc [03:05] Just for keeping things neat and easy to find. is there a "Program Files" type directory for linux? [03:05] ldiamond: nvm that, rc.local doesn't seem to write to a log. You can, though, redirect the STDERR from mount to a file, use "mount [whatever] 2> /etc/logfile" or wherever you want it logged. [03:05] Is this KDE based or something? [03:05] Gah. [03:05] byte^: i thought it was gtk based [03:05] Me too. [03:05] But... well it looks really different. [03:05] Extremely large text and white "Windows" background compared to the #! theme [03:06] sevodnya, I'll try that, thanks [03:06] its an intel uma integrated graphics card as far as i can tell [03:06] byte^: err... #! may not be runnign the gnome-settings manager stuff.. so its not using the proepr gtk themes [03:06] what is the standard address book in ubuntu ? [03:06] byte^: OOwrite looks fine here on gnome [03:06] I think I know why [03:07] perhaps I need the openoffice.org-common whatever package [03:07] Are new ubie installs configured for irc.ubuntu.com 6667 in pidgin?

[03:09] RHorse: no idea. first thing i do is run a script that installs xchat, irssi, and a dozen + other things [03:09] did efnet jsut crash? [03:09] grkblood13: that would be surprising [03:09] Ach! You're a good boy!!! [03:09] Let me check. [03:09] grkblood13: err.. how would we know? :) [03:09] <[t0rc]> idk we're on freenode... grkblood13 [03:09] well, some people are on multiple servers [03:09] like myself [03:10] Working fine for me. [03:10] wombatunder1: if you haven't already, it's a real good idea to install your home directory to its own partition too! [03:10] something jsut happened over on efnet [03:10] Dr_Willis I run my own sw, but nevermind [03:10] New irc install, I don't have efnet as a server to auto-connect at startup :P [03:10] irc client install, rather. [03:10] byte^: and thats proberly a good thing. :P [03:10] :P [03:10] * byte^ is ops in 8 channels on Efnet [03:11] Probably too much, actually [03:11] !ot [03:11] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:11] ugh, no luck. should i try eterm or aterm? [03:11] morning, everybody. i have a problem when i use the tor and IRC , Banned: Tor freenode is hidden-service-only (mejokbp2brhw4omd.onion) - see freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml. how can i do [03:11] the fullest room on efnet right now if 35 people :/ [03:11] * byte^ uses Terminator. [03:12] Terminator has became a MUST have on my list of apps.. :) [03:12] !ot|grkblood13 [03:12] grkblood13: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:12] grkblood13, that is not on topic for this channel though [03:12] KyoLee: ask in #freenode [03:12] I'm gonna try the debian way, it's only 16MB, thanks for the help guys [03:12] Glad to see terminator added to the 9.04 repos. [03:13] Pici: Thanks a lot ! [03:13] hobophobe - maybe... i'm not really sure. I've just had some experiences with poorly burned discs [03:13] a friend of mine gave me a flash drive that had .r1 .r2 and such files how do i take those and make them playable ???? [03:14] chargersfan420, same here... will be glad when everything is over the network :) [03:14] media schmedia [03:14] ill try terminator [03:14] guest912: if they are rar archives You 'unrar' the first one and it should merge/unpack them all [03:14] !rar | guest912 [03:14] guest912: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [03:14] my kde system locks down after about 15-20 mins of inactiveness. The monitor led blinks. But nothing happens. I can't make the screen appear back. I need to do a hard reset. [03:14] skellington: don't know much about them, but i think if the standard terminal is doing fake transparency, they probably all will. that's why i suspect graphics driver... i could be wrong tho [03:15] Dr_Willis, they are dvd rips [03:15] guest912: so unrar them [03:15] how can i have the icons of open office back. [03:15] guest912: hope you got some drive space handy [03:15] i actually agree with you, but its easier for me to try out these other terminals than go on my wild goose chase. [03:16] skellington: once i learned terminator.. i dont go backto the others. :) [03:16] aaaaah highlight [03:16] hi skellington <3 [03:16] skellington: fair enough... but it could take another hour... ;) [03:16] hi [03:16] its alright, this is actually my first computer that i own [03:16] trying to statically set eth1 [03:16] is /etc/init.d/networking not the file to restart to apply /etc/network/interfaces ? [03:16] and hello goose [03:17] fornix: are you on a laptop? [03:17] if so, whats wrong with /etc/network/interfaces http://rafb.net/p/PEGf3120.html ? [03:17] is anyone able to access samba shares in jaunty through the file browser ? It never connects to the remote machine, while other machines can connect to the remote share. [03:17] oh i see, i wrote goose. [03:17] osiris: i normally enter the full path to the remote server/sharename.. and then it wants teh user/pass i enter the info, and bookmark the thing. :) then i got no more problems [03:17] chargersfan420: no. on a desktop. I have pasted my /var/log/messages on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1159634 [03:17] but yeah, since this is my first owned computer, im gonna play around with it. [03:17] a lot. [03:18] i HAVE done it that way in the past, but this DID work in hardy [03:18] Okay, I've been freeing up a ton of space in preperation to make a new partiton for Ubuntu, but my free space is badly fragmented. What's a good, free defragger that can get me a nice large block of free space? [03:18] osiris: i also seem th notice that installing the full samba package seems to help. (but i always install it anyway, so i may be wrong) [03:18] osiris: theres been some threads on the issue.. ive never managed to figure out why it works and why it dont sometimes [03:18] hi [03:18] again, I CAN do it that way, just not looking to spend the time to do it all by hand [03:19] just pointing out its broke in jaunty i guess [03:19] could anyone tell me what's the difference between a group and a system group ? thanks [03:19] osiris: for some reason - i dont have theissue any more with my machines.. not sure what i did to it... [03:19] osiris: other then installing the full samba package and setting the proper default workgroup in the smb.conf [03:20] !defragment [03:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about defragment [03:20] fornix: thought it might be an acpi issue, but it doesn't look like it. what happens if you disable screensaver-type stuff? [03:20] !defrag | Strife89 [03:20] Strife89: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [03:21] eseven73: I'm trying to defrag free space in preperation to make a partition for Ubuntu. [03:21] chargersfan420: it seems to be some memory related issue. i suspect a memory leak. I have 2 GB of ram. Apparently the mem gets full and the swap too. Havent tried disabling screensaver. will try though [03:22] ist jeman hier? [03:22] what's the difference between `addgroup ` and `addgroup --system ` ? [03:22] You speak german? [03:22] meh im just really good with the bot commands, doesnt mean I can assist you further :P just keep asking someone will eventually help you Strife89 ;) [03:22] !de | Moonaddicted [03:22] Moonaddicted: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [03:22] fornix: if you disable screensaver and you walk away for a while, just turn off your monitor - it'll save power too. if you think it's a RAM issue, maybe you should do a memtest. [03:22] eseven73: Okay, thanks anyway. :) [03:23] alright, so I got this super-cool logitech keyboard with all these shortcut buttons, half of which work, which sounds derogatory but to me is actually exciting, but a button that should work is volume up and down. I went into the keyboard-shortcut configuration tool and mapped volume up and down to the correct keys, but instead of the real volume it changes the "line in" setting! thats a config issue! any help? [03:23] Who here needs help? [03:23] I'll ask again in case it was completely missed. [03:23] Okay, I've been freeing up a ton of space in preperation to make a new partiton for Ubuntu, but my free space is badly fragmented. What's a good, free defragger that can get me a nice large block of free space?

[03:24] norrisg1, I do! [03:24] ok [03:24] i did that too [03:24] skellington: and with compuiz you can make anything transpraent. (i find the feature useless) [03:24] i saw the false background [03:24] jcapinc: I don't have an Ubuntu partition yet. [03:24] norrisg1, alright, so I got this super-cool logitech keyboard with all these shortcut buttons, half of which work, which sounds derogatory but to me is actually exciting, but a button that should work is volume up and down. I went into the keyboard-shortcut configuration tool and mapped volume up and down to the correct keys, but instead of the real volume it changes the "line in" setting! thats a config issue! any help? [03:24] fornix: is something eating your memory? check top in terminal, or use the system monitor [03:24] i would rather not use compiz, im on a netbook [03:24] he jcapinc in im [03:24] Strife89, yes but when you make the partition it will defrag for you [03:25] IM ok jcapinc [03:25] jcapinc: Ah... [03:25] jcapinc: Alright, thanks for the info. :) [03:25] We have finished translating XFCE from the official xfce website how do we submit it to Ubuntu so that it is available to Jaunty users [03:25] chargersfan420: i suspect amarok2. this was running both the times when the problem occurred. other might be pidgin [03:26] WHAT DO I HAVE TO TYPE TO MAKE THIS WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [03:26] is /etc/init.d/networking not the file to restart to apply /etc/network/interfaces ? [03:26] Bon Soir my Fellow Ubuntu users [03:26] chargersfan420: i will start both the apps and then check top for mem usage [03:26] fornix: you should check out conky if you've never heard of it. It's a great way to catch that kind of stuff in the act... err, unless i guess your monitor goes dead when it happens... [03:27] chode: i find 'sudo service SERVICCENAME restart' quicker. :) [03:27] chargersfan420: yes it gets dead. ctrl + alt + f1 doesn't work. I get nothing on the monitor [03:27] Dr_Willis: well whats the service that restarts my network interface [03:27] chargersfan420: and i get occassional music sound [03:28] from amarok [03:28] chode: no idea.. ive never noticed. [03:28] chode: ive used 'network restart' befor.. but rarely had to [03:28] fornix: well, if something is gradually eating up more and more ram, which is usually the way it happens, conky can be useful to see it coming before it becomes too big of a problem (hard reset time) [03:28] !conky [03:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about conky [03:29] norrisg1, alright, so I got this super-cool logitech keyboard with all these shortcut buttons, half of which work, which sounds derogatory but to me is actually exciting, but a button that should work is volume up and down. I went into the keyboard-shortcut configuration tool and mapped volume up and down to the correct keys, but instead of the real volume it changes the "line in" setting! thats a config issue! any help? [03:29] fornix: i'll find you a link [03:29] chode: /etc/init.d/networking restart should do it. What isn't working? [03:29] chode: 25NetworkManager ..... or is that not what you need [03:29] Bye Bye people [03:30] chargersfan420: its in the repos. installing [03:30] fornix: http://conky.sourceforge.net/ [03:30] can someone tell me why I get this error ----> tar: ldap-nss.c:1319: do_init: Assertion `cfg->ldc_uris[__session.ls_current_uri] != ((void *)0)' failed. <--- when I try to run the command ---> tar -zxvf magento-1.2.1.tar.gz <---- on ssh ? [03:30] did gram parsons have anything to do with ubuntu? [03:30] fornix: it takes a little bit of configuring [03:31] chargersfan420: i installed it and ran it from terminal [03:31] i got a small black window [03:31] amarok is using 5.63% memory [03:31] Trying to install ubuntu from th cd and after the loading bar, the screen goes blank and the keyboard lights starts flashing... what's the pb? [03:31] fornix: if you play with the settings, you can integrate it with your background, and also configure it to show you whatever, however. check out the screenshots on the link [03:32] Can someone help me figure out how to mount the NTFS drive in my ubuntu server to my ubuntu laptop? (Yes NTFS drive in ubuntu server) [03:32] Kingsy101: hmm, the only reason I can think of offhand for tar to touch nss there is to get the uid/gid for the owners of the stuff it is extracting [03:32] chargersfan420: checking out the docs [03:32] Kingsy101: err, but you don't have a "p" in there. hmm. [03:32] Kingsy101: got a debugger? :) [03:32] mzz - not to hand [03:32] hi [03:33] perhaps its becuase its a tar? [03:33] anyone? somebody told me its related to the theme im using. my problem is Open Office icons disappeared and got replaced with text [03:33] Anyone can help me with auto-pairing Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse under Ubuntu 8.10? pvt [03:33] mzz - would it solve the problem if it was a zip ? [03:33] then use a different command ? [03:33] Kingsy101: well, the only reason I can think of for tar to touch ldap-nss would be something involving mapping uids/gids to names or vice versa. [03:33] how can you shell out on bitchx and see output on curr window [03:33] fornix: i could send you my conf if you want it [03:33] mzz - what would be the command for extracting a zip ? [03:33] somebody found the solution for totme.. "DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated" ?? [03:33] Kingsy101: I don't understand how tar could trigger this unless something was fairly seriously broken system-wide though. [03:33] Kingsy101: unzip blah.zip [03:33] chargersfan420: sure [03:34] ok [03:34] 1 sec [03:34] Enissay: that sounds like the kernel panicing, possibly because of some hardware incompatibility [03:34] Enissay: is your hardware unusual in any way? [03:35] Enissay: also, if the loading bar bit does run successfully you could try the alt installer, which runs in text mode [03:35] Enissay: (even if that one fails it might give you a readable error message) [03:35] mzz - unzipping worked fine ! :) [03:35] I am going to report that error tho [03:36] fornix: what is your screen resolution? [03:36] Kingsy101: puzzling. I'd expect zip to store owner information differently, if at all, which is somewhat consistent with my theory so far. [03:36] What's with python 2.6 on jaunty using "dist-packages" isntead of site packages? [03:36] what is the standard address book in ubuntu ? [03:36] chargersfan420: 1280x768 [03:36] awmcclain: don't get me started [03:36] I was just here about laptop heat problems. I don't know if there's any way to do anything about this but my laptop seems to lose battery power quicker with Ubuntu. Is there a way to work on this? [03:36] Kingsy101: I am pretty sure the problem is not in tar, but in your nss/ldap setup [03:36] hey guys... [03:37] mzz: ... meaning, you're as puzzled as I or there's an obvious reason why my upgrade broke the server? [03:37] fornix: a little bit at the bottom might be cut off - but that's an easy fix. does your chat client support file transfer? [03:37] mzz: i launched it in safe graphic mode, it works now :) [03:37] awmcclain: debian/ubuntu has/have disagreed with how python's site-packages stuff is laid out for some time now. python-support was bad enough, apparently they have now decided to break innocent setup.py scripts written by people without debian/ubuntu systems in new and interesting ways. [03:38] chargersfan420: i am using quassel irc and cant find any option for file transfer [03:38] Lol [03:38] o.0 [03:38] im new [03:38] mzz: Wonderful. [03:38] mzz: I join you in your grumble grumble then. [03:38] awmcclain: I'm sorry, I'm not on ubuntu either and don't have the details on this one. [03:38] fornix: oh i see... i'll find another way... one second [03:39] awmcclain: their intentions are probably good, but so far the most obvious effect is that I frequently run into people on debian/ubuntu with mysterious python problems I can't understand without having access to a system with their python [03:39] Hello, Is there anyone here with knowledge on setting up a tv tuner in ubuntu intrepid? [03:39] chargersfan420: i am noticing amarok memory usage is slowly crawling up. it has become 5.67% from 5.63% [03:40] mzz: interesting downside of freeware. Can't ask for your money back if it doesn't work.... [03:40] mzz: Yup. They changed the default sys.path and totally removed site-packages. Silly. [03:40] how can i fix the large fonts on my acer aspire one with ubuntu? the documentation tells me to modify my xorg.conf but when i try to sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf it is blank, WTF? [03:41] fornix: copy it from here: http://pastebin.com/d26c3b5a1 [03:41] Hi [03:41] hi [03:41] losher: lol [03:41] Can someone please tell me why I (seem to) need an internet connection to do an Ubuntu Install when I'm using the CD to begin with? Just curious..... what would happen if I didn't have an internet connection plugged in? [03:42] Is there anyone on that is knowledgeable with tv tuners and mythTV? [03:42] Matt, Tv tuners are pretty much plug and play in ubuntu [03:42] is anyone using the ati video drivers with a radeon x1200 chip? works with the x1200. ATI now has version 9.4, but doesn't list the x1200 on their site. [03:42] William7: you can install w/o an internet connection, it won';t hurt anything [03:42] matt what kind of tv tuner do you have? [03:42] svensko: that's because it's using the new Xorg with HAL [03:42] awmcclain: afaik they did patch distutils, so if you just reinstall your stuff it should end up in the location they want it (reinstall being rerun setup.py) [03:42] mzz: ug. [03:42] th0r: it won't work [03:42] IndyGunFreak, so what is it downloading during the install when I have the Internet connection plugged in? it said it downloaded about 865 files... [03:43] how do I get root permission when I'm using the GUI File Browser in ubuntu 8.04? [03:43] svensko: did it tell you to set NoDDC? [03:43] Tyler, i'm not sure how to without a xorg to mess around with [03:43] i believe there is another way to do it but it involves xsession? [03:43] th0r - i noticed the website claiming less drivers were supported than the documentation - check the release notes [03:43] william7 i don't think it would be able to install most of the default packages [03:43] William7: probably just updates, when you get your connection up after install, it will do what it needs to do. [03:43] wombatunder1: I'm just speculating here... but I think you could go to a terminal window and type "sudo nautilus" then enter your password... [03:44] i know it's xsession in other distros, not sure what it is in ubuntu, i can just use -dpi 96 and that'll fix it, but i can't seem to find the file i'm referring to [03:44] svensko: are you using gnome? [03:44] ahh ok.. [03:44] th0r - less graphics cards, that is [03:44] losher: (a) I just like to rant a little occasionally :P (b) this annoys me mainly because it breaks innocent python packages written by people using a python closer to python.org's [03:44] william7: what is Nautilus? [03:44] Tyler, use XFCE with the minimal CD install [03:44] wombatunder1: thats the filemanager, and you' actually want to use gksudo.. gksudo nautilus [03:44] wombatunder1: Nautilus is the file browser in Ubuntu [03:44] chargersfan420, unfortunately the release notes (if they are there) are in the .bin file. I don't want to install the drivers and then find I have lost video [03:45] svensko: In XFCE, you can change the dpi in the appearance settings [03:45] awmcclain: (other stuff getting the path through distutils.sysconfig will work, things with the path hardcoded won't, but that's not as common as you might think. Specifically most autotools-based stuff will end up in the spot they want it too, afaik) [03:45] indygunfreak: what does the GK mean? [03:45] chargersfan420: ur config doesn't work on my computer. [03:45] mzz: rant away. Don't mind me... [03:45] !gksudo > wombatunder1 [03:45] wombatunder1, please see my private message [03:45] wombatunder1: that explains it better than i could [03:45] heh [03:45] th0r - i believe the download includes release notes in a pdf, in a compressed file [03:45] wombatunder1: gksudo is the privilage elevation program for GTK+ programs. [03:46] ty Tyler, i didn't catch that :) [03:46] chargersfan420: http://paste.ubuntu.com/172717/ [03:46] losher: I'm still somewhat expecting to end up ranting while an actual ubuntu python dev/packager is around at some point and getting completely obliterated, if you know what I mean :) [03:46] Thank you Indygunfrea, william7 and rww [03:46] fornix: uh-oh! you could try turning background to off... might be an issue if you don't have 3-D support [03:46] IndyGunFreak: thanks for correcting my sudo suggesting to gksudo just learned something else from you guys.. thanks [03:46] indygunfreak [03:46] losher: (I don't know their names or nicks, so I won't know what I'm doing until I've dug a nice deep hole for myself) [03:47] chargersfan420, just got the driver package off the amd site, it is a run file [03:47] So when i watch DVD's I get no Audio but When i listen to music I do? [03:47] chargersfan420: did that. still no luck. I'll revert my config and play with it after reading the docs [03:48] mzz: the heavy duty devs avoid these groups. Can't say I blame them... [03:48] fornix: looked at your pastebin. you can set the background back to yes, but you'll have to remove some ACPI stuff... i'll send you another version [03:48] losher: true (on both) [03:48] th0r: can you show me the link you got it from? [03:49] Any ideas on as too why that is? [03:49] i recently added a sound card to my computer and the sound works fine but every time i switch users or boot the computer the sound it turned all the way up, any ideas? [03:50] ubuntu 8.10 [03:50] JPratt, what player are you using for music and watching dvds [03:50] im using banshee, but even the log in sound it turned all the way up [03:50] Does anyone know if I can partition my HDD while on USB installed BT3 so that I can add BT3 to my HDD and dual boot it with ubuntu [03:50] Does anyone know if the new Jaunty 9.04 release supports the old Broadcom wireless better? or will I still have to use the cutter program... [03:51] chargersfan420, just a second [03:51] I used Totem MPlayer and rythmbox for audio and the first two for the DVD [03:51] William7: no personal experience, but a friend of mine says its better [03:51] IndyGunFreak: ok great thank you. [03:52] fornix: http://pastebin.com/d53b7e741 - it's almost the same, just took out a bit of stuff... if it doesnt work, you could also try deleting the last 4 lines. [03:52] mzz: Any idea how to diable 2.6 in jaunty? [03:52] chuck_, I used Totem MPlayer and rythmbox for audio and the first two for the DVD [03:52] Can I install BT3 to my HDD while on a USB bootup of BT3? [03:52] awmcclain: sorry, no (I suspect that's not even possible) [03:52] mzz: Or at least enable 2.5 again? [03:53] Hi is there a known issue with flash 10 causing FF to puke and freeze? All latest versions on Jaunty/i386 [03:53] awmcclain: I'd actually expect installing 2.5 in parallel to just work, but I'm not sure if they applied the same patch to that [03:53] mzz: I have 25 installed already [03:53] JPratt, open mplayer without playing anything [03:53] I've never seen this thing where the whole window turns grey but still paints it's contents prior to this version [03:53] awmcclain: and its sys.path looks healthy? [03:53] chargersfan420, this is the link that talked about 8.40.4 supporting the 1200. [03:53] chuck_, K [03:53] awmcclain: mzz: 2.5 wasn't changed === armitage is now known as Guest53951 [03:54] ah, thanks === william is now known as Guest60692 [03:54] mcrandello: did you install the restricted modules package, or just flash? [03:54] mzz: Yes. [03:54] right click in video window and open preferences [03:55] mcrandello: i've had no probs w/ flash and jaunty [03:55] chargersfan420: no luck. removed the last 4 lines too [03:55] chuck_ Done [03:55] chargersfan420: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) [03:55] JPratt, then click audio tab and see what is highlighted in the list [03:56] chuck_,Pulse [03:56] fornix: try either changing "own window" to no, or "use_xft" to no. one at a time [03:56] JPratt, try changing it to alsa [03:57] it keeps flashing an error that i cant read [03:57] chargersfan420: hang on checking what's green in synaptic === bk|away is now known as bk [03:57] [AO_AlSA] Unable to find simple control 'PCM', 0 is the error chuck_ [03:58] mcrandello: do a search on "restricted" [03:58] chargersfan420: flashplugin-nonfree and *extrasound [03:58] chargersfan420: yes. when i turn own window to true and use_xft to no. a window did show up [03:58] mcrandello: look for a package called "ubuntu-restricted-extras" [03:58] JPratt, click on configure driver in audio window with alsa selected [03:58] Done [03:58] I am trying to use "$ sudo chown root:root /etc/udev/rules.d/10-Huawei-Datacard.rules" and I keep getting bash: $: command not found. What am I doing wrong? [03:58] chargersfan420: i am getting nice graphs and stats [03:59] chargersfan420: only ones in that search are the modules (madwifi) and surprisingly ed and cron [03:59] wombatunder1: do not include the $ [03:59] fornix: did you try them one at a time? you might need to only change one option [03:59] wombatunder1: that's there to indicate that you enter it on a shell prompt [03:59] istarnes: then it doesn't give me anything [03:59] mcrandello: hang on, i might not have the wording right [03:59] wombatunder1: then it succeeded [04:00] wombatunder1: most unix commands only return something if they failed [04:00] istarnes, Ahh ok, thank you [04:00] change you should be looking at a little box with default driver in each one [04:00] chargersfan420: i believe one of them needs to be on at a time either own window or xft [04:01] wombatunder1: if you man the command you're running there might be a -v or --verbose option to tell you what it did, always check before trying this though [04:01] what does "Run install script in driver directory (consent to reboot)" mean? [04:01] JPratt, sorry let me try that again [04:01] IT does the same with all but i need to go to sleep [04:01] chargersfan420: my ram is now 29%, swap 0% and amaork 5.72% [04:02] fornix: either xft is a problem (something about the font it uses) or own window is a problem (it won't integrate with your background for some reason). The last 4 lines, if you deleted them, show you networking stats, if you're interested. [04:02] wombatunder1: probably going to want to reboot the system when it's done [04:02] * alucard_ test [04:02] it may or may not prompt, make sure you've saved any open work [04:02] JPratt, ok [04:02] chargersfan420: i don't want network stats [04:03] mcrandello, how do I "run install script in driver directory"? [04:03] mcrandello: in synaptic, i have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed, and also one called linux-restricted-modules-common & -generic. i suspect one or all of these might do the trick [04:04] Hello [04:04] cd to the driver directory (not sure which one they're referring to) and then "sh /path/to/your_script" [04:04] Can I ask one quesiton please? [04:04] shoot micinfig [04:04] Micinfig - can't say i can answer it tho [04:04] Micinfig: you can ask as many as you need [04:04] How do I know if the Ubuntu 9.04 installed on my PC is x64?

I know there were issues with Nvidia's driver. I'm wondering how the speed compares [04:09] wombatunder1: I think they just mean the directory you got when you unpacked the drivers [04:09] mcrandello: ok, I'll try that, thank you [04:09] so wherever you see the install.sh or install script just type "sh install(.sh)" [04:09] hey fornix: does your conky window still say "Go Chargers!" ? :D [04:09] they could have worded that a little better perhaps [04:10] jats: I'm using just a GeForce FX 5500, compiz "full effects" and it's quite fast.

[04:24] c0mp13371331337: I am just not sure how the share on the server has to be shown [04:24] jats: I'd certainly do some googling for your specific card to see if there are any issues [04:24] enissay: you're using 9.04? [04:24] chargersfan420: but power control in display settings is disabled! [04:24] jats, yes [04:24] jats: what card do you have? [04:24] jats: I'm using 9.04 as well [04:24] chargersfan420: so why is it going to standby [04:24] mcrandello: i've used 64 bit from 7.04 - 9.04 and sometimes it worked, sometimes not. it worked in 9.04 but ate a lot of battery power (because of npviewer.bin - the conversion wrapper). just switched to 32-bit now. not sure what to tell you [04:25] scunizi: GeForce 4 7000-series I believe.

[04:25] c0mp13371331337: But it is a drive [04:25] chargersfan420: nope its not a laptop. its a desktop-pc [04:26] CoJaBo-Aztec - yes it does... i think... then again, i think mine is a primary [04:26] scunizi: actually a GeForce 7300 GS [04:26] jats: I've read that there were some quirks on the 7 series cards and that the 180.xx drivers pretty much fixed it.. however the earlier 180.xx drivers were very laggy.. the 180.51 should do that card pretty well. [04:26] i am still having this problem with Cannot invoke CheckForMedia on HAL: [04:26] LinuxGirl: Shouldn't be anything special about it then, samba seamlessly handles the differences in filesystems. As long as samba on the server is set to share that particular folder, it should be a simple mount command away. [04:26] chargersfan420: thx for the help. i need to go to the gym now. will exit amarok and check whether it still locks down. [04:27] fornix: you might have gnome-power-manager anyway - it might be an issue too. have fun! [04:27] kramer__: for extracting rar archives, try package unrar-free or unrar [04:27] c0mp13371331337: I keep getting this "mount error 6 = No such device or address" [04:27] " [04:27] sevodnya, thanks ill try that my biggest problem is [04:27] chargersfan420: Is there any way to find out other than doing it? I have the partition (that was originally primary) backed up, but now I need to restore it to a logical partition (a 3-4 hour operation), and have no idea if this will even work when it finishes :/ [04:27] LinuxGirl: I remember reading that in certain situations, samba will only be able to mount a single directory deep, so you may want to try mounting //192.168.1.100/home if you're having problems with the entire address. [04:27] i am still having this problem with Cannot invoke CheckForMedia on HAL: [04:28] scunizi: so you think the 180.x.x series is close to nvidia's driver for performance? I'm willing to take a small performance hit to upgrade, especially if it's to a free piece of software. [04:28] jats: to install you have to go to synaptic and uninstall the other nvidia drivers that came with ubuntu.. then after downloading the new driver and chmod +x "ing" it, go to ctrl+alt+F2 and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop .... then install the driver.. after that sudo reboot now and it should be good to go. [04:28] hello [04:28] c0mp13371331337: It is the primary drive though [04:28] c0mp13371331337: It isnt' the primary I meant [04:28] jats: you get the driver direct from nvidia [04:28] krammer__:i might have missed this, but when do you get this error? [04:29] sevodnya, when i insert a dvd or cd i get that message u didint miss it i just posted it [04:29] jats http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [04:29] sevodnya, I tried removing the lock and rebooted then the lock file came back [04:29] LinuxGirl: Shouldn't matter. I've got an external HD hooked up to another computer in the house, and one of the directories on that drive is set up as a samba share. You could try mounting //192.168.1.100/home, or point samba on the server to share specifically the NTFS folder rather than the /home folder. [04:29] CoJaBo-Aztec: I would think it does, and i haven't seen it have problems with logical partitions, unlike LILO. I've got a triple boot set up (vista / xp / ubuntu) and i use the vista bootloader to pick between the 3 choices... when i select ubuntu it loads grub. might be one way to do it [04:30] scunizi: As I understood it there was a driver developed by nvidia and one by the community. Or did the community fork nvidia's driver? [04:30] c0mp13371331337: Nope still get the same error [04:30] What's the full command you're using? [04:31] krammer__, what's the full path to the lock file in question? [04:31] jats: the community driver .. well.. as I remember there is nv and a newer "other" opensource driver.. I haven't tried it.. but I know the one direct from nvidia is working for me well. [04:31] c0mp13371331337: Wait, does the drive of folder have to be set to share? [04:31] also, krammer, are you having this problem with all cds, or just some? [04:31] can anyone help me make an install of a tar.gz [04:31] CoJaBo-Aztec - i wish you luck though, and hope you won't need it :) [04:31] scunizi: Ok thanks. I think I'll use nvidia's then.

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [04:32] jats: remember you'll have to reinstall after each kernel upgrade.. just remember that on a kernel upgrade to download the latest driver before you reboot [04:32] I have a gusty box, update-manager only says 8.04 LTS is available, is there a way to directly update to 9.04? [04:32] LinuxGirl: Okay, so you're using fstab to mount? [04:33] scunizi: jats: in gnome, it picked up the fact that i needed nvidia's driver and prompted to download and install it for me. [04:33] LinuxGirl - have you created an empty folder to mount to? [04:33] khc: no.. you have to go one step at a time.. or save your /home and install fresh then replace your /home files [04:33] Yes and Yes [04:33] scunizi: yeah I've been putting off upgrading my kernel because it breaks graphics and my wireless connection(it's a compiled driver). [04:33] boo [04:33] chargersfan420: The thing I'm worried about is if Vistas bootloader will die if it notices its on a logical instead of primary partition (especially since it was originally installed to a primary). [04:33] scunizi: jats: s/install/installed/ (it told me this when I tried to enable effects in compiz) [04:33] bc: jats but that is an older driver.. I believe 180.24.. it can still be laggy [04:33] scunizi: ahh [04:33] LinuxGirl: sdc1 is the device name of the drive, it sounds like. You'd need to mount that drive and share the location that it's mounted to on the server. [04:34] mobi-sheep: i read it but i don't think i am understanding it i have been at this for 18 hours [04:34] LinuxGirl: Plus, you're using the cifs type, I'd try 'sudo apt-get install smbfs' and replace cifs with smbfs. [04:34] if it'll help i am trying tio use hamachi [04:34] I want to have my /boot/ on a partition located on a usb disk. when i'm writing up menu.lst, what do i need to do about the root() line? I don't know what drive number the usb device will be detected as.. [04:35] krammer__, is your system fully updated, and which version are you running? [04:35] CoJaBo-Aztec - there are two places to stash a bootloader - in the MBR (a little bit of space at the beginning of the drive) and on the actual partition. In my setup, i have to stash grub on the /boot partition. I set up the vista bootloader using EasyBCD, which works in vista and XP. Do you have another bootable windows partition you can use to install it? [04:35] baby is crying need to go thanks ill brb later [04:35] c0mp13371331337: When I mount smbfs I get "Warning: ignoring deprecated smbfs option 'codepage=unicode'" plus the original error [04:36] !pastbin [04:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin [04:36] !pastebin [04:36] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

To fix this, I would need to move some to logical. [04:37] please i need tutorials on Back Track [04:37] LinuxGirl: If the drive is mounted to the NTFS folder that you mentioned earlier, you would replace //192.168.1.100/sbc1 with //192.168.1.100/path/to/NTFS. [04:38] CoJaBo-Aztec - any reason why Kubuntu needs to be primary? just thinking, why move a different drive if you don't have to? [04:38] help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/172730/plain/ [04:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/172730/plain/ [04:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/172730/plain/ [04:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/172730/plain/ [04:38] fzza3a: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:38] LinuxGirl: Here is my fstab line: //192.168.2.102/1 /opt/foldingathome/willow smbfs username=me,password= 0 2 [04:38] Hello All, was wondering if someone can help me with setting up a ntp server on my ubuntu machine, i have it all config'd and running , just no other machine can update from it, please let me know if you can help [04:39] LinuxGirl: The '1' directory after the IP address is an actual directory in the /opt folder that contains what I want shared. Rather than using the device (sdc1). [04:40] Can someone help me with setting up drivers? [04:40] EricJ1186: be more specific [04:40] I have the driver for my video card (Nvidia) and my sound card (Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi) [04:40] c0mp13371331337://192.168.1.100/home/x/NTFS/ /home/x/Kronos cifs username=... I think the problem with with how the drive needs to be listed [04:41] I ran the terminal code for the Nvidia one, and it said can't open [file name] [04:41] EricJ1186: the nvidia driver.. does it end in .exe? [04:41] no [04:42] so , I will go :( [04:42] it's NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.51-pkg1.run [04:42] c0mp13371331337: I've tried ip/dev/sdc1, ip/x/home/NTFS. and others that I don't remember, but it keeps saying no such device or address [04:42] whats the command to get out of x? [04:42] and into cmd [04:42] LinuxGirl: That looks about right. Did you try that with the smbfs type rather than cifs? I've never used cifs, so I can't help with that unfortunately. [04:43] EricJ1186: ok.. you need to go to ctrl+alt+F2 and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop .. then cd to the directory where the driver is.. if desktop then cd /home//Desktop [04:43] EricJ1186: then sudo ./NVIDIA.yada.yada [04:43] dyno: you can switch to a different virtual terminal with Ctrl-Alt-F1 through -F5, then back to X with Ctrl-Alt-F7. [04:43] ty [04:43] and what is that most commonly used for? [04:43] Is there a program similar to terraterm for ubuntu? (i.e. something that can just read and write to a serial port) [04:43] all right, I'll write that down. Thank you very much [04:44] c0mp13371331337: No that does not work either [04:44] I also have the Sound Blaster X-Fi drivers [04:44] LinuxGirl: And if that doesn't work, try setting up a new samba share to the NTFS folder directly. So the address would be //192.168.1.100/NTFS /home/x/path/to/mount smbfs [04:44] those I am less sure what to install === Spoom3 is now known as Spoom [04:44] EricJ1186: can't help with the X-fi drivers.. not sure there. [04:44] dyno: the only real time that comes up is dealing with problems with graphics drivers, at least in my experience. [04:44] eric: creative supports xfi [04:44] Eric: for ubuntu [04:44] dyno: other than that, you can usually run commands within gnome-terminal or what have you [04:44] yeah, I have the drivers [04:45] but it says In terminal, [04:45] 1) Goto source directory 2) Execute make command as root make make install [04:45] and I am not sure what that means [04:45] LinuxGirl: Or test with just //192.168.1.100/home. As I said, I read somewhere that in certain situations, it can only mount the first directory, and I think one of those situations is when mounting via fstab. [04:45] it means u need to install under root [04:45] so sudo make install [04:46] basically, u open up terminal, cd to whatever directory contains the install files and type the command "sudo make install [04:46] ok, easy enough [04:46] c0mp13371331337: The drive I am trying to mount in my laptop is the third drive in my server. In fdisk, it is listed as sdc1, but I have it mounted in my server's home drive as NTFs [04:46] EricJ1186: you'll need to install build-essential.. sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:47] Is that NTFS drive itself being shared with samba? [04:47] ^NTFS folder, not drive [04:47] c0mp13371331337: At your suggestion, I have tried //IP/home and //IP/NTFS with no luck [04:47] what is a good programming language to get started in? [04:47] EricJ1186: and "make".. sudo apt-get install make [04:47] c0mp13371331337: NTFS is the folder name in the server [04:47] scunizi: make is included with build-essential iirc [04:47] LinuxGirl: But is it set up as a shared folder? [04:48] lstarnes: ah.. thought so but wasn't quite sure. [04:48] c0mp13371331337: No [04:48] Try sharing that NTFS folder. [04:48] c0mp13371331337: Okay lets see [04:48] Evening all! [04:49] hi...looking for a media player (or a codec packages) that handles rm (real media) files, but trying to stay away from real player... any suggestions? [04:49] Was hoping to get a little help with my Ubuntu install. Computer is completely nonfunctional at this point. :( [04:49] Takai31: you gotta be more specific.. [04:50] tony_facebless: you could try mplayer, i've had luck with that and rm in the past [04:50] Installed 9.04 earlier (via usbthumb), installed just fine except it would completely freeze within 2 minutes of logging in, apparently a common issue. [04:50] hi [04:50] tony_facebless TRPlayer www.linux-speakup.org/trplayer.html [04:50] hi [04:50] I opted to re-install fresh with 8.10, but found it would start the install process and lockup as soon as it got to the Loading /ubninit and hit ready. [04:50] I think I've found a memory leak in X [04:50] No verbose feedback [04:51] I tried the acpi=off option, and still no joy. [04:51] sevodnya: using that now and nothin' doin' [04:51] So I went further back and tried 8.04, same issue. Oddly I was on 8.04 previously and it worked fine. [04:51] Takai31: might be an acpi issue.. usually remedied with an addition to the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.list reading acpi=off or something like that [04:51] tony_faceless: vlc? [04:51] Yep, tried acpi=off [04:51] What seems to be happening is ... [04:52] It loads the kernel, then shutdowns all USB ports (keyboard, mouse, and the usb thumb drive) [04:52] one last question before i call it a night [04:52] sevodnya: I think that gave me an error something along the lines "...and there's nothing we can do about it" [04:52] c0mp13371331337: We did it! [04:52] why cant i edit my menu.lst for grub bootloader in ubuntu? [04:52] LinuxGirl: :-D [04:52] does xmms play real media? [04:52] Takai31: google might be your better friend here.. I'm stuck sorry. [04:53] LinuxGirl: Way to go! [04:53] Thanks anyway scunizi, been googling all night :( [04:53] im running ubuntu netbook remix, which is based on 9.04 [04:53] so im thinking of trying out Linux Mint [04:53] is it just like ubuntu but more complete? [04:53] sevodnya: "VLC does not support the audio or video format "RV30". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this." [04:53] Takai31: just for grins.. is this an amd machine? gforce chipset? [04:54] Dyno: xmms? hmmm... [04:54] amd machine, not a gforce video card [04:54] err [04:54] is a gforce video card === thebackwash is now known as sirbamf [04:54] ls [04:54] Takai31: not video card but motherboard chipset [04:54] oops, haha wrong window [04:54] Ah, nforce, nope not an nforce chipset [04:54] c0mp13371331337: The magic was setting it as "//192.168.1.100/NTFS" after the share and forget the "home/profile/ [04:54] haloo, i need help about SiS video card [04:54] Sorry, back again - any idea why ctrl + alt + F2 does nothing? [04:55] anyone can help me? [04:55] :D [04:55] Dyno: do you know if xmms is OSS (Open Sound System) friendly? [04:55] Asus M2A-VM mainboard [04:55] LinuxGirl: Beautiful, glad to see it's working for ya now! [04:55] Takai31: k.. I have to use pci=nomsi on my chipset to get it to work [04:55] tony_faceless: you can download a realaudio plugin for xmms [04:55] Well, at this point just for shits and giggles, I'll try it heh [04:56] tony_faceless, did mplayer give you a specific error? [04:56] Anyone? [04:56] Takai31: have you tried www.google.com/linux and use m2a-vm ubuntu for the search? [04:56] sevodnya: yes... give me a minute... [04:56] Nope, but as I said, I previously had 8.04 running on this system just [04:56] err just fine [04:56] Ahh this time the install is actually at the Ubuntu splash screen :O [04:56] progress! [04:56] scunizi: I love google.com/linux [04:56] LinuxGirl: yep :) [04:56] Thanks everyone! [04:57] Hmm, dropped to a BusyBoxv1.1.3 (initramfs) console prompt [04:57] sevodnya: "Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x30335652." [04:57] and keyboard/mouse are non-responsive [04:57] ericj1186, does it do nothing, or does it switch to a VT and back again, i've had that happen [04:57] keyboard has no power, so it did the usb thing again where it shuts off power to the usbports [04:58] I didn't see a change [04:58] also, I tried the sudo make install and it returned an error [04:59] Takai31: arg.. maybe a bios thing? perhaps needing a bios upgrade? some boards are like that [04:59] Dyno: I wouldn't say Mint is more complete. It's supposed to support more hardware, and it doesn't rev so fast so it's probably a tad more stable. Otherwise I couldn't see much difference [04:59] EricJ1186: what was the error? [04:59] Ordinarily I'd not disagree, except this ran previously [04:59] do you guys have any idea on how can i change my openoffice theme on ubuntu 9.04? === Stains is now known as Papercut [04:59] the error said "cp: cannot stat 'ctxfi.ko': No Such file Directory [05:00] Takai31: one of those aggravating issues.. good luck [05:00] losher: so all in all, does ubuntu have any advantages over mint? === Papercut is now known as cober555 [05:00] Thanks Scunizi heh [05:00] is there any sort of ubuntu channel i can just chill and chat in? [05:00] yeah [05:00] right here cober [05:00] Dyno: it's more stable and has a stronger community [05:00] this place is chill [05:00] cober555: #ubuntu-offtopic [05:00] alright thanks [05:01] Dyno: it seems slightly more stable on laptop hardware, fewer wireless problems. Other than that, only that some people seem to prefer it. [05:01] Anyone else having problems with gksu or gksudo freezing the system? Whatever program I try to run with root privileges using either command just freezes the system. But not the whole system, only the apps I click on after executing the command. Sometimes I'm able to get to the System Monitor and kill the gksudo process, sometimes I have to drop to another TTY and kill things from there. Anyone else seeing this in Jaunty? [05:01] it it normal that acpi is not installed on my machine? [05:02] tony_faceless, i'm not quite sure what to offer you, rm has always been iffy; you could try looking at medibuntu and seeing if it has any additional support for rm. [05:02] Dyno: i ran it in vmware to see what the fuss was about, and the answer was, not much difference... [05:02] did anyone know why I returned that error? I was trying to install the Xfi sound drivers [05:02] tony_faceless whats your problem? [05:03] anyone here familiar with lm-sensors and mind if I borrow a few minutes of your time? [05:03] EricJ1186: you can't just run make install.. you have to run make first then make install [05:03] hello [05:03] EricJ1186: typically [05:03] OH, wow... dumb me... [05:03] don't forget ./configure [05:03] JECHO: looking for a media player or codec that handles rm's [05:03] doing anyone know what the room is for the incident room in here [05:03] Chr|s: What do you need? [05:03] ./configure isn't in his instructions [05:03] does [05:03] bill15068: incident room? [05:03] tony_faceless have you trie dmplayer? [05:03] that's already been done in the tar.gz [05:04] awesome, I think my sound works now [05:04] yes incident broadcast room [05:04] Hi. I've installed Adobe AIR, installed the libgnome-keying.so.0.1.1, but the install from http://www.tweetdeck.com/beta/ is not working. Any ideas? [05:04] tony_faceless mplayer** [05:04] for teamspeak [05:04] bill15068: I don't understand what you mean by that [05:04] JECHO: yes [05:04] c0mp13371331337: have a look at this thread, it explains it better in detail http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780&page=33#325 [05:04] do I need the ctrl + alt +f2? or can I use the desktop terminal? [05:04] theres a room here [05:04] bill15068: are you saying you've found a major security hole? I'm not sure what else would be considered an 'incident'? [05:04] JECHO: can't handle the file [05:04] I have the ntel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN network card and cant connect to my home wireless but can connect everywhere else i have tried ndiswrapper and still nothing can anyone help [05:04] EricJ1186: either should work [05:04] k, thank you [05:04] JECHO: "Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x30335652."

Help? [05:05] I tried the ctrl + alt + f2, and it didn't do anything [05:05] tony_faceless its in the post titled " 7 things to do after a fresh ubuntu 8.10 installation... what release are you running? [05:05] or F3 or F4 or F5 [05:06] JECHO: 8.10 [05:06] nothing [05:06] i really enjoying free softwares [05:06] can anyone help with my wireless problem [05:06] bill15068: as far as I know, we have nothing to do with teamspeak. We're a real-time computer support channel. Nothing at all to do with fire police or ems [05:06] JECHO: I'll check this out, thanks [05:06] tony_faceless ok then yeah, jsut follow my tutorial that should fix your problem [05:06] Anyone seen this yet? Everyone probably has: http://www.hmrgroup.co.uk [05:06] Chr|s: Ahhh yes, erroneous sensors output. I have the same problem with mine. On my system, a couple of the temps are negative and fan3 isn't listed, because it's not plugged in on my mobo. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be showing all your cores though, as it shows mine just fine (Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700) [05:06] EricJ1186: that's totally out of the ordinary.. you might consider rebooting to see if that clears something preventing you from doing it. [05:07] I have been trying to get thiis to work for a few days now [05:07] Check out the logo: http://www.hmrgroup.co.uk [05:07] matt_: that look like a clear violation of copywrite [05:07] c0mp13371331337: yeah, I'm just waiting to hear back from some people on that thread and see what they say, I'm not sure what else to do really [05:07] Chr|s: I take it you've already run through the setup process and loaded the necessary modules as detailed in said setup process? [05:08] c0mp13371331337: Yes [05:08] all right; might it be my keyboard? I have a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 7000 and it requires software [05:08] scunizi: Do you know of the appropriate person at Canonical that I should get in contact with? === ABC is now known as ZhouYu [05:08] I'm trying to shrink the /var partition (XFS) an old 8.10 install. deleted it, made a new one, put all the files back on, modified /etc/fstab but /var wont mount.

[05:12] Enissay: or sudo apt-get install gparted.. then the partition manager will show up on System/Admin/partition manager [05:12] scunizi: thx [05:12] Enissay: Like, the Disk Usage Anylizer, or the Partition Editor?

[05:13] Enissay: Right click empty space on panel > Add to Panel... > Disk Mounter [05:13] no [05:13] sevodnya, if I did I'd suspect my ram [05:14] sevodnya, literally, it just closes without any output [05:14] jrgp, um its out of date there isn't anything about UUID [05:14] witt im private messaging you [05:14] chaorain, oh, do sudo blkid [05:14] greetings, I have a tmpfs filesystem that I made too small, how can I give it more space on the fly? can it be done? [05:14] ok [05:14] that says the uuid's [05:15] jrgp, I have tried that but /var won't mount [05:15] chaorain, that folder has a lot of stuff in it. logs and such [05:15] jrgp, try killall gimp and then try starting it again. [05:15] I did [05:15] ejv: You'll have to unmount that disk, and the disk that you want to take space from. It can easily be done using the standard Ubuntu LiveCD. [05:15] killall -9 gimp [05:15] no output [05:15] "no command running with that name" [05:15] er, "gimp: no process killed" [05:16] c0mp13371331337, nice one :), but i need also to change the mount point, and made it auto...(auto mount) [05:16] c0mp13371331337: thanks [05:16] jrgp, how about gimp -v [05:16] ejv: google says yes: http://opensource.dyc.edu/tinhat-quickstart-manage-ram, dunno if it works in Ubuntu, at your own risk.... [05:16] i think if i edit /etc/fstab [05:16] sevodnya, that lists several versions of packages [05:16] then remount [05:16] it shoudl work [05:16] jrgp, I know. I need to fix that [05:16] ima try [05:16] ejv: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:17] Bu3nK_06 [05:17] Enissay: Well there's no front-end that I'm aware of that will do that, but the file /etc/fstab controls the automatic mounting of drives and mountpoints of those drives. [05:17] chaorain, /var is not a fake folder like /proc. if it's messed up, just backup your /home and reinstall [05:18] jrgp, I have it backed up and am trying to restore it. Just need it to mount === semplex^ati is now known as mo_bledhoz [05:18] chaorain, it's just a normal folder under /. if that's mounted it, then it is [05:18] unless you specifically have it under a different partition [05:18] jrgp: try gimp --new-instance [05:19] sevodnya, interesting. that started it [05:19] thanks [05:19] Is there anyway to get the Ubuntu install to do a more verbose mode so I can see what's actually failing during the install process? [05:19] jrgp, It's a seperate partition [05:19] Takai31, use alternate install cd [05:19] offtopic, but if a malicious website uses javascript to secretly visit hotmail or gmail, and suppose my hotmail/gmail automatically logs in, can that malicious website get my mails? [05:19] takai31 install from the alternate CD [05:19] yao_ziyuan: possibly [05:19] What's the difference between the live and the alternate? [05:19] Takai31: you could use the alternate install cd [05:19] jrgp, gimp has code to make new files open in the already-open instance, and that seems to get messed up at times; worst-case, restarting will fix it. [05:20] alternate is text based [05:20] Takai31: the alternate just installs, but has more options [05:20] so you can see the errors [05:20] Ah ok [05:20] lstarnes: how to prevent? [05:20] sevodnya, thanks for the info :) [05:20] Thanks :) [05:20] jrgp, http://paste-it.net/public/mf0f28d/ [05:20] yao_ziyuan: make sure you're using a secure browser and avoid going near potentially infected sites [05:21] lstarnes, yao_ziyuan: the fact that it doesn't appear to have already happened yet suggests it's not as easy to do as it sounds. [05:22] Uh hello, can anyone knowing how to make usb devices work in virtualbox (guest: Windows) please help me do same? I'm running Jaunty. Thanks [05:23] Alright extremely stupid question, where can I grab the alternate cd image from? :) [05:23] Takai31: the same place you get the normal cd from [05:23] c0mp13371331337: my way worked, simply edited fstab, then did mount -o remount , badda bing :) [05:23] fluxy: to get usb to work in vbox you have to install the version direct from vbox.. not the one from the repos [05:23] I actually grabbed the image off the site but not seeing a link anywhere for the alternate heh :) [05:23] i cant get my mic to work on ubuntu [05:23] never could [05:24] i googled and tried several times [05:24] scunizi: Is it free as well? [05:24] with different methods [05:24] nothing [05:24] Takai31: look for a link referencing the 'Text based "alternate installer" installation disc" [05:24] *disk [05:24] fluxy: there is no $$ cost but it does have some propiatory codecs that make it non-free. [05:24] Takai31: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate [05:24] losher: good [05:24] My OS has hanged to keyboard and mouse on login screen.. please anybody help me!!! [05:25] scunizi: Thanks. I need it to use windows live messenger for webcamming. [05:25] My complete production has been stalled!!! [05:25] Thanks :) Just went directly to the mit mirror for it [05:25] reboot [05:25] i can talk on IRC [05:25] Administ1ator: did you say something? === Administ1ator is now known as EdwardXP [05:25] lol :P [05:26] Takai31: Yeah, u need to select the mirror first to get alt cd. just saw that. [05:26] Please anybody.. [05:26] mohan_: when did that start happening? [05:26] from yesterday when i upgrade something from jaunty.. [05:26] using UBUNTU STUDIO 8.10 [05:26] 64 bit.. [05:27] I have recently installed UNR 9.04 on my netbook with a ssd drive. When I boot I see that Ubuntu uses ext3 as file system. Shouldn't I use the ext2 instead of ext3 on my netbook with ssd? [05:27] Matz: ext3 should work [05:27] Matz: why.. ext2 doesn't have journaling [05:27] with jurnaling turned off <: [05:28] which technically makes it ext2 [05:28] DaZ: does journaling really have that bad of an effect? It seems rather unlikely [05:28] because journalling kills ssd <: [05:28] lstarnes: Yeah, but Linpus Lite the original system used ext2? [05:28] can someone help? /var does not mount on 2nd ubuntu http://paste-it.net/public/mf0f28d/ [05:28] well it doesn't have any good effect and i think it's quite useless [05:28] matz you should have used ext4. im using it on my eee pc [05:28] mats works great [05:29] DaZ: it does reduce the likelyhood of data loss [05:29] chaorain, what does sudo mount /var do? [05:29] scunizi: I know but because it's a ssd then it will not write that much to the ssd using ext2 instead of ext3 and then the system will run faster on ssd? [05:29] pls.. i can't re install everything.. now.. [05:29] matz: no clear consensus, according to http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=25387 [05:29] lstarnes: backups reduce it [05:29] relying only on journaling is stupid [05:29] JECHO: Ok, but I used the standard installation and it automatically installed ext3. [05:29] DaZ: journaling does at least provide some help [05:30] Matz: would you really notice it? probably not [05:30] matz yeah thats ok... nothing wrong with ext3 [05:30] losher: Ok, well I don't know what to think. Somebody says I shall use ext2 because it will run faster and be better on my ssd because of lesser writing to the ssd. [05:31] scunizi: I have no idea if I would notice it. [05:31] you can always put journal on different device [05:31] matz: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=25387, the entry by mkrishnan [05:31] Matz: it would probably not have much of a difference [05:31] anyone using apt-p2p yet? [05:31] jrgp, um havn't tried but I want it to auto mount [05:31] nobody have a clue what would have been happened? [05:31] chaorain, that will tell you why it isn't mounting [05:32] mohan_: it might have something to do with input device hotplugging [05:32] Ok, thanks a lot for your help, I will stick with ext3 and go on cusomizing my netbook. [05:32] mohan_: if hal and dbus are working, hotplugging should work [05:32] it would appear vino is broken on 9.04 the screens wont update:-( [05:32] One more question. I have read that there is a bug that makes the panels disappear in UNR 9.04 using the desktop switch. Do you know if it has been fixed in the UNR 9.04 final release? [05:33] ls [05:33] how could i know that? can you pls guide me through this lstarnes? [05:33] omac: apparently very few users, which defeats the purpose :-) [05:33] how to check hal and dbus are working? [05:33] jrgp, ok need to reboot [05:33] mohan_: can you get to a terminal? [05:33] yeah [05:33] mohan_: on the installed system? [05:33] yes.. [05:33] terminal works.. [05:33] i can login [05:33] mohan_: check ps aux | grep hald [05:33] losher: I installed it. [05:33] is there a command to cut some parts of a video, merge it together, and add a logo ? does someone know a wiki about doing that on ubuntu ? [05:34] mohan_: and ps aux | grep dbus-daemon [05:34] chaorain, using the mount command instead of rebooting a million times will save you some time [05:34] omac: p2p works best when millions of other users also install it. [05:34] mohan_: or you could do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:35] as i am doing on the same system i need to shutdown and restart to boot on problematic system.. [05:35] i will write down your suggestion and try it out.. [05:36] jrgp, um it mounts just fine on 9.04 (currently using) but on 8.10 (old one) it doesn't auto mount. The /var belongs to 8.10 [05:36] chaorain, ouch. [05:36] well there should be great motivation to use it if it reduces package download times significantly. [05:36] i will be back lstarnes.. [05:37] chaorain, back up what's needed in /var and reinstall the latest over it all [05:37] thanks for your suggetions.. [05:37] Anyone knows if the bug that makes the desktop panels disappear after rebot if one has used the desktop switch is fixed or if I have to fix the bug myself? [05:37] omac: I don't disagree. But notice not a single other person has said they're using it. I'm guessing it won't really get going until it's the default in Ubuntu [05:38] Everyone knows how fast it is to download the ubuntu iso from bittorrent. Well, if they want the same kind of fast download experience for individual package installations, I would venture it's only a matter of time before apt-p2p will become popular. [05:38] jrgp, When ever I tried to manually change the fstab I fail miserably. [05:38] Is it possible to install Ubuntu to an encrypted LVM from the Live CD, or do I have to use the Alternative CD? [05:39] k... so I rebooted and the start up screen took along time to load [05:39] Blime: alternate.. but even with that I'm not sure you can on a partition that's already encrypted [05:40] losher: you do have a point about apt-p2p ideally becoming the default package manager in Ubuntu. [05:40] scunizi: well, i mean have the installer create the encrypted LVM [05:40] Blime: ah.. only the alternate can do that [05:40] when it booted, it showed a black screen with white text, got to "Loading Hardware drivers" [05:40] scunizi: thanks!!! [05:40] guys, is there any apps that i can modify/add/delete music files in my ipod? any idea? [05:40] p2p wouldn't work as a default protocol for package management right now. Too many ISP's are throttling traffic to try and put an end to torrent/p2p. For a huge number of users, getting updates would become extremely painful. [05:41] !ipod | gharz [05:41] That said, there should be some kind of control over how much upload bandwidth we give to apt-p2p out of our entire upload bandwidth. [05:41] gharz: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [05:41] then it said "udevd-event[3113]" run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit [Fail] - in red [05:41] Thanks for the help with the file system issue. Have to go now. [05:41] omac: I am merely making the observation that apt-p2p does not seem to be anywhere near the critical mass it needs to be useful yet. Isn't that why you asked? [05:41] and it hands on "Loading drivers manually" [05:41] anyone know how to recover a damaged ext4 filesystem? [05:41] losher: You're right. It's not at critical mass yet. [05:42] i don't want to lose my data >.< [05:42] thAnks [05:42] fsck seems to think it's ext3/2 [05:42] tanath: testdisk? :f [05:42] jrgp, Can you tell me what I did wrong with fstab? http://paste-it.net/public/mf0f28d/ [05:42] anyone? I am only able to load Ubuntu off the boot disk [05:42] lemme see... [05:43] That said there needs to be some way in the preferences->administration to control the apt-p2p upload bandwidth through synaptic. [05:43] tanath: there's not a lot of experience with ext4 out there as it's so new. Can you read the filesystem & copy files off it? [05:43] synaptic would need to become very cozy with apt-p2p. [05:43] DaZ, according to the package description, it doesn't work with ext4 [05:44] This will relieve the mirrors, if all goes well. [05:44] whats up peepole? [05:44] losher, no, i can't. says unknown filesystem >.< [05:44] chaorain, looks ok. here's mine: http://jrgp.us/snipplets/fstab [05:44] losher, all i did was reboot [05:44] is it possible to mix video cards? ati/nvidia? [05:44] What does the boot option persistent mean? [05:44] for multi monitor purposes? [05:44] lscott3: yes but not easily [05:45] scunizi: with compiz? [05:45] i can get my 3rd (ati) to show up but it acts like its connected to a different box [05:45] and not seamless at all [05:45] lscott3: maybe.. you'll have to become very familure with writing your own xorg.conf and using xrandr or randr.. not for the light hearted [05:45] doesn't ext4 have journaling? i thought this kind of thing shouldn't happen? [05:46] can anyone help me, please? [05:46] tanath: can you run /sbin/fsck.ext4 directly ? [05:46] so it would be easier to just use two nvidia cards PCIe and PCI? [05:46] tanath: I personally don't consider ext4 ready for prime time. [05:46] lscott3: probably [05:46] i needs my 3rd monitor! [05:46] it feels like having one eye [05:46] lol [05:47] losher, why's that? [05:47] hello> [05:47] chaorain, try putting tabs between the uuid= and / [05:47] losher, i thought it was basically an improvement on ext3 [05:47] jrgp, k [05:48] hello! [05:48] tanath: it's new. new means less stable. unstable is bad when it comes to filesystems.... [05:48] there's a lot of errors >.< [05:49] jrgp, wait you mean between UUID= /var ? === Shashi_Kant is now known as sKant [05:49] tanath: but it's running at least? You're the 2nd person I've seen here saying their ext4 spontaneously corrupted itself. [05:49] chaorain, I mean between uuid=[the iiod] then a tab before the mount pount [05:49] point* [05:49] I'm volunteering at an open source summer camp. but there's a guy i work with, with a really high pitched voice that's scaring me. What should I do?? [05:50] losher: ext4 deleted my kernel once [05:50] ask in offtopic? [05:50] lol [05:50] Can anyone help me? [05:50] DaZ: was that a joke? [05:50] losher, well, i rebooted while downloading to the drive, but it should have shut down, or prompted me to close the app first if it didn't shut down in time... [05:50] no [05:50] why are people using ext4.... that's illadvised [05:50] Optimus55: wear earplugs [05:50] i had to do hard reboot [05:50] <|shiretoko> what's wrong with ext4 [05:50] jrgp, ok / mounts fine but /var is the problem so I'll try that then reboot and see if it works [05:50] DaZ, if you're going to use ext4, I suggest keeping your /boot partition on a 100MB ext3 [05:50] ejv: because it's fast [05:50] ericJ1186: it could be related to that module you built [05:51] jrgp: now i keep it on ext3 [05:51] DaZ: I don't consider it ready, but yea I've seen benchmarks :) [05:51] from what i read about it, it was an improvement on ext3 [05:51] all I did was type sudo make [05:51] anyway, i liked reiser4 more [05:51] then sudo make install [05:51] restart, crash [05:51] I've been using reiserfs for the last few years without a problem. i see no reason to use ext4 [05:51] ext4 is faster, but less stable. Call me old-fashioned, but in filesystems, stable trumps fast, every time... [05:51] in the director of my driver stuff [05:51] scunizi: i have to work with him. its so weird i never met anyone like that before. he has a beard but talks like a 5 year old [05:51] ericJ1186: that could do it if the deiver doesn't work with your kernel version [05:51] *driver [05:51] is it possible to migrate a dm-crypt encrypted volume not using LUKS to LUKS? [05:52] how do I find my kernel version, how do I find the driver for it, and how do I reverse this? [05:52] isn't the reiserfs author currently in jail? [05:52] Optimus55: visualize him with pectoral accentuators and a dress and then the voice won't be so bothersome [05:52] losher: yeah for murdering his wife [05:52] losher: yeah [05:52] he i [05:52] s [05:52] .... [05:52] they should release him [05:53] okay. i guess.. [05:53] clearscreen: [05:53] net [05:53] clearscree [05:53] clearscreen [05:53] hol [05:53] sKant: what are you trying to do? [05:53] sorry [05:53] what's the advantage of using gksudo vs sudo for gui apps? [05:53] sKant: /clear or /clearscreen maybe? [05:53] see you guys. oh if anyone is interested btw, the same open source thing i'm volunteering for it putting all the videos online for everyone to see. jus google for foss [05:53] see ya [05:54] Optimus55: be nice to hi,. He probably can't help it and wishes it were otherwise... [05:54] oh thanks [05:54] Sagaci: gksudo is designed specifically for graphical programs [05:54] Sagaci: cute window? [05:54] anyone know if safari runs under wine? [05:54] losher: i thought so, i want to be his friend but its jus really strange.. i have a super deep voice and his is realllly high.. [05:54] he's cool tho [05:54] Sagaci: it also handles the environment differently [05:54] but is it a security risk of any kind to just use sudo rather than gksudo [05:54] sKant, cltr+l will prolly do the job too [05:54] snowcavalier: I think Safari is Konquer or whatever its called [05:55] so you can get away with using that [05:55] Sagaci: it might cause things to behave unexpectedlt [05:55] *unexpectedly [05:55] how do I reverse this so I can put the right driver in? [05:55] hi to all, i am havinig ATI Techna Inc ES1000 graphics card agter doing /etc/init.d/gdm restart...i am not getting gui login [05:55] Optimus55: kids can be really unforgiving about anything different. I wouldn't go through that again if you paid me. [05:55] snowcavalier: I wouldn't think so, you would probably need a diff emulator... Unless it's a windows version of safari? [05:56] snowcavalier: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98430 [05:56] losher: freal. cool man. thanks for the info. see ya [05:56] Orange_v_Blue: yeah they make a windows version [05:56] lscott3: thanks [05:57] any suggestions? [05:57] btw i'm 23 and he's my age. but sounds like 5. that's why its so strange [05:57] can someone help me mount my memory stick pro duo on my computer [05:57] * Optimus55 appears offline [05:57] optimus55: way off topic dude, drop it already please? [05:57] Do you know if I can delete the "System volume information" folder off an ntfs partition when I'm not using it with windows anymore? [05:57] is there a way to d/l ubuntu restricted extras as a .deb but without installing [05:58] Who wants to take on a multi monitor project? raise your hand [05:58] (hides) [05:58] can someone help me mount my memory stick pro duo? [05:58] Richiv whats the physical drive name.... with sudo fdisk -l === mobi-sheep__ is now known as mobi-sheep [05:58] Shapeshifter: i deleted it and it didn't cause any problems on windows [05:58] Orange_v_Blue: you're mean... :( [05:59] DaZ: k. [05:59] orange-wedge: it doesnt say [05:59] would u like me to pastebin? [06:00] hello [06:00] yeah [06:00] Sagaci: you can download debs without installing using apt-get --download-only. The debs will be in /var/cache/apt/archives. Dunno how far you can get as the dependencies won't get updated until you actually install... [06:00] how do I find the driver I need? http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html - I went there, but it just had the drivers listed by dates, not kernel versions [06:00] so I'm trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.04 [06:00] I'm following the guide at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [06:00] Optimus55: no, he's right. It's well off-topic. Time to stop & do some actual support.... [06:00] but...uhh, it's not working [06:01] it doesn't seem to recognize that there's a new release [06:01] because I'm not getting the "new distribution release '9.04' available" text in update manager [06:01] any ideas? [06:01] "You can only directly upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 from Ubuntu 8.10 (see UpgradeNotes). " [06:01] ah [06:01] is there a way to get thunderbird notifications in the fancy new intrepid notification thing? [06:02] thanks [06:02] np [06:02] can anyone maybe message me and help me out? [06:02] orange-wedge: http://paste.ubuntu.com/172763/ [06:02] that sucks :-/ [06:02] brb - not that anyone cares :P [06:02] ext4 doesn't support compression? [06:02] lscott3 - i lve you and i'm having your baby!! [06:02] I actually wanted to know about a possible fix for the FGLRX (ati driver) for 9.04, is there going to be any hope there? [06:03] RichiV... this one is your memory stick.... /dev/sdb1 * 1 61504 7872495+ b W95 FAT32 [06:03] hi [06:03] hi [06:03] Orange_v_Blue, fix? what's the issue? [06:03] just a quick question. [06:03] Is there any way to change the orientation of the windows if you isntall a right-to-left font [06:04] so try running the following: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [06:04] tanath: still playing filesystem russian-roulette? [06:04] Jaredster: you can change button order [06:04] orange-wedge ok ill try [06:04] losher, still holding down 'y' to fix errors :P [06:04] orange-wedge: nothing happened [06:05] hoping _something_ might be salvaged [06:05] how do I do that? [06:05] RichiV now ls /mnt [06:05] tanath: very scary. Might not be much left... [06:05] orange-wedge: ok [06:05] somewhere in gconf [06:05] orange-wedge: only shows one thing [06:05] :/ [06:05] i don't use gnome [06:05] orange-wedge: and it is my flash drive [06:05] tanath: Some computers it won't work on anymore or something. mine's old enough that it's apparently not supported, or something? I'm not sure, I just know it will not work anymore. [06:05] losher, somehow it got supremely fubared [06:06] ok can you pastebin the output of: mount [06:06] Orange_v_Blue, was working fine until i rebooted while torrenting [06:06] orange-wedge: sure [06:06] hey whats the IRC command to see people who are in two channels, but shows the people who are only in both channels? [06:06] tanath: bugs in the ext4 code I expect. They really didn't make the state of ext4 clear enough in the 9.04 release notes [06:06] tanath: I've seen some absolutely horrible stuff from fsck and the machine booted fine :D [06:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/172766/ [06:07] orange-wedge: http://paste.ubuntu.com/172766/ [06:07] bc, it boots fine. it's not my main partition. ;) [06:07] anyone know..that command? [06:07] i've seen 140Gb of data recovered by fsck just fine on ext3... [06:07] tanath: I should have said, "there was nothing at all wrong with the filesystem upon rebooting" [06:08] and ext4 has journaling to, so i'm hoping for the best :P [06:08] tanath: mine says when I go to upgrade that there is no version for my system. I really appreciate the graphics with it [06:08] RichiV did you have a folder Documents on you memory stick? [06:08] bc, oh. maybe i should have simply rebooted again [06:08] like i want to know who is both in #ubuntu and #help, what command would I type in to see people who are in both channels (not in just one, but only people who are in both would show up) [06:08] orange-wedge: yes it is the main folder [06:08] its mounted [06:08] tanath: ok, ok, ok ;) [06:08] Orange_v_Blue, sorry, misread your quote due to forgetting context [06:08] orange:wedge: but it is not the one that i want to mount [06:08] tanath: too many orange people, lol [06:08] er, comment [06:09] ??? [06:09] what do you mean? [06:09] orange-wedge: i am trying to mount a memory stick pro [06:09] Orange_v_Blue: Do you know exactly what video hardware you have? [06:09] its the wrong folder? [06:09] Orange_v_Blue, rather, i'm switching back & forth [06:09] orange-wedge: it is a digital meda [06:09] evil_saltine, tanath: ATI Radeon something, what is the terminal command again? [06:09] orange-wedge: it goes in the same slot as a micro sd [06:10] Orange_v_Blue, lspci? [06:10] awh... [06:10] hi to all, i am not getting gui login prompt..getting last log as Restore Timing Tables [06:10] Restore TV standard [06:10] Leaving Restore TV [06:10] i thought you might have a usb reader [06:10] whats better...apt-get install ( package name ) or aptitude install ( package name ) [06:10] i prefere apt-gert [06:10] i prefere apt-get* [06:10] orange-wedge: no i dont i'm not the richist kid XD dont have the money for it [06:10] evil_saltine, tanath: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M [06:11] do you have a psp... :) [06:11] jk [06:11] what is a program i can use to open bin and rar files [06:11] orange-wedge: i wish.... it belongs to a sony camera [06:11] Matt, apt-get over aptitude?? [06:11] Orange_v_Blue: the older Radeon driver should work for you [06:11] Matt, aptitude has superior dependency resolution [06:11] Orange_v_Blue: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:11] hm... [06:11] Matt, and reminds you to remove unneeded packages [06:12] then again im still new to linux [06:12] do you have the card the reader slot? [06:12] evil_saltine: that's just the open source alt right? I heard vague rumblings of something like that... [06:12] somebody know a tool to analyze the email logs? [06:12] orange-wedge: what do u mean? [06:13] do you have the card in it now? [06:13] orange-wedge: oh yes [06:13] Orange_v_Blue: Yes I believe so, like you said yours is an older adapter, so it is well supported by now [06:13] Caivax: what are "the email log"? [06:13] what is a program i can use to open bin and rar files [06:13] evil_saltine: thank you SO much! [06:14] Orange_v_Blue: Just follow the directions there for removing the fglrx driver and then do the section "configuring x.org" [06:14] Orange_v_Blue: No problem. [06:14] can you please run: dmesg | tail [06:14] hi, if i do apt-get install kde that would just install the de right? [06:14] dyess002: unrar will open rar files. Not sure about bin files... [06:14] dyess002: what are "bin" files? some image format? [06:14] orange-wedge: pastebin? [06:14] evil_saltine: what about updating? Should I do the vid driver first, and then update to 9.04, or vice versa? [06:14] yep [06:15] Orange_v_Blue: I would change the driver first [06:15] i need some emergency help. i just rm * [06:15] So I'm a newb, trying to enable the cube compiz effect I've seen forever. I downloaded CompizConfig Settings Manager, and checked "Desktop Cube" and it says the hotkey is ctrl+alt+down but it doesn't do anything. With "Desktop Wall" I could ctrl+alt+anyarrow. What am I doing wrong? [06:15] arvind_khadri: it would be better to do a $ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:15] i just rm * 'd a dir by accident [06:15] any hope? [06:15] evil_saltine: thank [06:15] Piet, I need a summary of postfix logs. [06:15] dyess002: if you're looking for a way to handle file archives on gnome, use file-roller and install unrar, too [06:16] orange-wedge: http://paste.ubuntu.com/172769/ [06:16] fornix, but i dont want the apps of kde... [06:16] Orange_v_Blue: np.. you'll need to install the package xserver-xorg-video-ati [06:16] yes, Bin is like a ISO file [06:16] thanks for the info [06:16] any hope of recovery after rm * -ing a dir? [06:16] dyess002, Piet: bin files are usually image files, and come with an accompanying cue file. Some windows format originally I think. isobuster on windows handles them. Dunno about on Ubuntu [06:16] ok those last two lines are from when you put the card in [06:16] i have a question about jaunty, why does any soundfile and movies that i stream all skip? and how can i fix it? [06:17] arvind_khadri: if you only want the libs for running a kde app like amarok, sudo apt-get install amarok would pull it in automatically [06:17] i run ubuntu 810. i want to change how gnome aligns the icons on my desktop. instead of the left, i want to have the icons line up on the right. do i make the changes in gconf-editor and what do i change? [06:17] orange-wedge: i already knew that it was detected, but it just does not show up, and i cannot access the photos and videos on it [06:17] yea, but I am trying to convert everything to Ubuntu [06:17] fornix, no see, i want the DE to be present sans its apps [06:17] dyess002, Piet: on ubuntu, you can burn bin files to a disk, not sure what else you can do. Anyone? [06:17] Caivax: are you looking for a one-time analysis or for a log monitoring solution? [06:18] Hi, is anyone good with getting DVDs to work? I'm trying to play one with VLC and the restricted extras package, and I'm getting errors that I don't have permission to access the file. [06:18] If I can do this,I am through with XP [06:18] Caivax: for log monitoring: logcheck and logwatch analyze common log files. logwatch is not very configurable but does therefore provide a nice overview out of the box. logcheck on the other hand is very configurable but requires tweaking to be really useful. [06:18] all .bin files are more less disk images [06:18] I would like to mount them like PowerISO [06:19] It takes a lot of work out of it [06:19] dyess002: there's a package bchunk that should do what you want [06:19] is it an 8gb stick? [06:19] thanks,i'll try [06:19] arvind_khadri: maybe kdelibs is the package you need [06:19] ll [06:19] dyess002: I think you can convert them to iso using bin2iso & then mount the iso via the 'loop' device [06:19] fornix, ok thanks [06:19] !kdelibs [06:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about kdelibs [06:20] you could also try: sudo modprobe tifm_core; sudo modprobe tifm_sd [06:20] arvind_khadri: check synaptic for the package kdelibs [06:20] While I'm here, I've been having fun with themes lately. Some of them, though, will say something along the lines of "This theme will not work as intended because theme engine ''GTK is missing"... but there is no engine name in the single quotes. Any ideas? [06:20] can you mount with bchunk [06:20] dyess002: sorry, i wasn't clear.. that program will convert a bin/cue to an iso file which you can then access by mounting it with loopback [06:20] orange-wedge: it is a 1gb stick [06:20] ok [06:21] fornix, fine [06:21] dyess002, losher: there's bchunk to convert bin/cue files to iso format. after that you can mount the iso or open it with file-roller [06:21] ok, loopback is the one i need right [06:21] Hi, can anyone help me? :) [06:21] try running the following: sudo modprobe tifm_core; sudo modprobe tifm_sd [06:21] dyess002, Piet: yeah, looks like bchunk & bin2iso basically do the same thing.... [06:21] ANyone know how to make the cube effect work with compiz? I mean it's enabled but doesnt do anything when I hit the hotkey. I must be doing something wrong [06:21] ah right [06:22] Do I need to reboot something? [06:22] orange-wedge:nothing [06:22] how do i stop kjournald starting commit internal 5 seconds [06:22] loopback will mount like powerISO right [06:22] take out the card [06:22] mib_wk3e0674: just ask the question, someone who knows what's going on will answer [06:22] and re-insert it [06:22] orange-wedge [06:22] mib_wk3e0674: that way you get someone who knows about that the first time [06:22] now waht? [06:22] dyess002: yes, check google for the details on mounting via loopback [06:22] dyess002: like a virtual cd device. [06:22] hm... [06:23] dyess002: If it can output in iso format then yes [06:23] nothing? [06:23] right, like virtual cd [06:23] Piet, I need a tool to review the logs and tell me for example who sent e-mails to some user and from whom has received emails. [06:23] how do i fix any sound or videofile from skipping on jaunty.. i default installed and i dont know how to fix it [06:23] im running XFCE4 [06:23] nothing [06:23] Ok, thanks. Well my problem is just that when I try to play DVDs I get a permission denied error. [06:23] virtual cd is like my heart with me [06:23] hm... [06:23] Caivax: i'm not aware of something like this. but you could scrpt it yourself. may i ask why you need this? [06:24] <[esde]> what partition editor for ubuntu?

[06:26] mib_wk3e0674: no, unfortunately. you have to get it from medibuntu.. there's directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Playing%20Encrypted%20DVDs [06:26] and the dmesg | tail [06:26] Awesome :) you rock [06:26] ripdisk: not normal.

I have also noticed when running firefox the flash plugin takes more then 50% cpu. can someone please help me find the culprit ? [07:12] O__o: start the synaptic package manager. Then click the search button. In the dialog box, type h264 and click search. install anything that looks like the gstreamer codecs and the 264 codecs.

I've booted into a live cd, done the encryption, defined the partition in /etc/cryptab, updated the initrd & modified the grub menu.lst - my system won't boot though. it just hangs... after grub runs - any ideas? [07:13] You'll find it. You'll install it. mplayer, vlc, totem will all work when the codec is installed. [07:13] Piet, I actually used DVD-Decrypter to burn the CD if that makes a difference [07:13] O__o: your problem is that you don't have the h264 codec installed yet. [07:13] ZAKhan: the flash player is likely a totally seperate issue from the rest [07:14] Xyzyxx: no idea, i don't know this application [07:14] omac, but i can play h264 avi movies i downloaded [07:14] DaZ: not exactly, it has improvements in the code [07:14] omac, how to check if i have it installed or not? [07:14] ZAKhan: install memtest86+ and have it run through the night [07:14] ZAKhan: so many releases, I suspect a hardware problem. Start by running memtest overnight.... [07:14] TheNano: what improvements? :o [07:14] Piet, I have been trying to pin point the issue but everytime i have some new scenario and it hangs [07:15] ZAKhan: i assume you already inspected the systems' log files, right? [07:15] ZAKhan: such as /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog [07:15] what is ffmpeg? [07:15] Piet, losher , i read in one of the forums that the ram with only one sided chips runs fine with AMD but i just could not buy that .. who knows might be true. [07:16] Piet, yes i have and could not find anything unusual [07:16] WTF [07:16] ZAKhan: back to memtest then.... [07:16] ZAKhan: it will remain a rumour until you actually ran memtest ;-) [07:16] these I/O errors are BS [07:16] DaZ: a lot , see for yourself https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/ppa [07:16] there's no reason for them [07:16] thanks [07:17] ZAKhan: also consider upgrading your bios, this can help sometimes if the vendor really f...ed up [07:17] losher, Piet, ok i do so now and leave it for 6 hours and see happens, but the issue is it hangs when i execute 2 or more applications .. then memtest will hang too right? [07:17] Piet, yeah i did not consider upgrading bios till now [07:18] ZAKhan: it may, or may not. if it hangs, you'll knowsomething is wrong with the hardware [07:18] O__o: last advice, try Dragonplayer if all other apps fail. [07:18] ZAKhan: memtest will test your memory pretty thoroughly. A clean memtest is a good first step [07:19] ZAKhan: have you done a hardware test , like memtest and ...

[07:22] O__o: libx264-65, sorry [07:23] i see [07:23] O__o: you need to be using the gui for installing packages. [07:23] cyberjorge: executing binary files from random sources is often not healthy for your system [07:23] Evil_saltine, thank Hanyuu you said 65 - I almost thought Ubuntu was :way: too late on updates [07:23] is anybody here that uses dark gtk themes and can tell me how to solve issuses with unreadable text on websites and forms?

[07:25] MeXTuX: normally you'd go with server. but i'm in doubt whether this hardware meets the requirements [07:25] O__o: go to Startup->System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager. Click the Search button. Don't enter text in the main synaptic gui. It sucks. Enter the "x264" in the popup dialog search dialog and click ok. [07:25] ok [07:25] Tnx [07:25] omac, what package [07:25] :) [07:25] You will find there are going to be many hits.

Actually, I wanted to verify the burn, but I realise if you can't run the livecd, it can't be done. [07:29] oh [07:29] , and i appreciate it [07:29] well [07:30] the pc i'm on now is running ubuntu [07:30] does that help [07:30] Piet: I think the option is there at the bootup of LiveCD. [07:31] i tried comprehensive sound on ubuntu forums bur no success [07:31] mg_: did you recently install ubuntu? [07:31] ripdisk: that would verify the disk, which is good, but I really wanted to verify the entire hardware chain i.e. disk, controller, dvd reader etc. which you can't do, right? [07:31] mg_: "i have no sound" is a very short error description. ;-) try to sum up more, tell us which ubuntu version you have and how you have it configured if you can find it out. also what you already tried to fix it. [07:31] mobi-sheep: which option? [07:31] Piet: "Check CD for defects" [07:31] nope [07:31] :( [07:31] Piet: i don't why openbravo chose to distribute it using a bin a file, anyway hope that won't get me in trouble [07:31] well i think i am rumnning Kubuntu no nbow [07:32] Piet: i was able to run the bin file using ./file.bin [07:32] actually i9 know i am [07:32] mobi-sheep: so, so. but i don't think you wanted to tell _me about this, since we haven't talked recently. [07:32] ripdisk: at this point, I'd download something else e.g. DSL and see if that boots. If it does, you'll know there's something weird about Ubuntu. If not, you definitely have a harware problem... [07:32] i used ext4 for 9.04. do you guys think that was a bad idea? [07:32] how to install vlc 0.9 in ubuntu 8.04?

[07:34] apt-get install vlc [07:34] gotsanity, I guess kvIRC is the closest GUI-wise, but I still don't like it :/ [07:34] 0___o download from their website [07:34] iceroot: ive tried finding a way to save xchats window position between "sessions" but i cant figure it out [07:34] i did the comprehensive diagnostics on ubuntu forum with out sucess [07:34] losher: Pretty much. You're the one assisting him with md5sum. [07:34] gotsanity: i dont knw what you mean with windows position, i am not using a gui-client [07:35] thank you EVIL....give me a sec' [07:35] Might anyone have a recommendation on a tutorial on how to build packages for Ubuntu? (I think I'll try making x264 since the last rev in ubuntu is from December 2008) [07:35] gotsanity: but (and alot people will hate me here) mirc runs fine with wine [07:35] anyone?

[07:35] no [07:35] in mirc you are able to "tile" irc channels so you can see multiple at a time and it also allows you to save their positions/colors/etc between sessions [07:35] mobi-sheep: not very successful support... [07:36] cyberjorge: something tells me you'll run into more difficult to solve issues with this installation yet. [07:36] iceroot: I do not have a master password so it should not be crypted [07:36] you can tile the windows within xchat the same way but it ends up losing the positioning between openings [07:36] iceroot: where is the profile located so I can backitup before reinstalling ubuntu [07:36] jasonmchristos: ~/.mozilla/firefox/ [07:36] losher [07:36] and what would i need to do with that [07:37] iceroot: looking [07:37] ripdisk: sorry?

[07:39] ripdisk: you can do all sorts with system rescue, including partitioning, fscking disks etc. But I basically want to verify if your hardware can boot *any* kind of linux successfully. since you've obviously drawn a complete blank with Ubuntu twice over now...

[07:46] yes no sound [07:46] mobi-sheep: im thinking that too but now I want to satisfy curiousity to which file it is [07:46] jasonmchristos, I have just copied the .mozilla folder from your $HOME to another disk (usually usb stick) and then copy it to your new $HOME directory once the install is complete [07:46] jasonmchristos: according to google it's signons3.txt and key3.db. But don't come crying to me if you save those files and then find out that they're not enough. I think you should take mobi-sheep's advice and backup the entire profile [07:46] ziroday: I use irssi, but using tilda. In the preferences it says firefox, but whenever I click on a link, it doesn't do anything, I have to manually copy and paste [07:46] jasonmchristos: However, I have several computers so I use XMark (firefox addon) to sync all my bookmarks and passwords with all computers and their XMark server. :) [07:47] omac, should i return this HD cam recorder and use the normal one?

[07:48] jasonmchristos: Just make backup of ~/.mozilla and when you are on your new Ubuntnu, just rename ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla_old and place it there. Start the Firefox. Your extensions and theme should be there too. Everything same. [07:48] William7, If you are worried you can start up using a live distro, once the live distro is loaded you can run fsck.ext3 on the un mounted filesystems [07:49] mechdave: problem is, it's under a LUKS logical volume manager...

[07:51] mechdave: ah ok.. yea.. I do recall it runs automatically every now and then... I'll try to force it.. [07:51] jasonmchristos: Consider making a separate partition for home. [07:51] !home | jasonmchristos [07:51] jasonmchristos: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [07:51] William7 i think ill need it command line, when ever i turn my wireless on and off with my laptop (switch) ubuntu doesnt recognise it going back on :\ [07:51] mobi-sheep: I was going to do that ext2 since data recovery is easier [07:51] William7, try this --> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/ [07:52] mechdave: ok thanks.. will do [07:52] hey guys, what can you use to see your frame rate for 3d rendering? [07:53] mobi-sheep: I think this is exactly what I need, excuse me while I read...btw do you think there is any downside to ext2 vs 3 [07:53] yeah, this is wher i am confused' [07:53] for home [07:53] jasonmchristos: Netbook? Laptop? Computer [07:53] , something is nuted, but i am not sure what\\ [07:53] , err muted === _Ranakah is now known as Ranakah [07:54] mobi-sheep: this is a laptop but I mean in general practice if I start making ext2 home [07:54] jasonmchristos: ext3 is the filesystem of choice.... [07:54] love this IRC channel btw [07:54] you guys rock [07:55] jasonmchristos, ext3 has been about for quite a while now and it has the advantage over ext2 as being journalised so therefore much faster [07:55] hey guys, what can you use to see your frame rate for 3d rendering? [07:55] good morning, could some1 explain to me please how to i set mouse dpi in ubuntu 8.04? :X [07:55] jasonmchristos: Well, I think netbook / removable mediums should stick with ext2 for lower read/write. Laptop / computer / production servers should use ext3. If you want to mess around, try ext4 (like I am at the moment). :) [07:56] mobi-sheep: I used it once for ubuntu studio didn't notice a difference studio kept crashing I thought it was because of ext4 but ext3 did the same [07:56] mg_: thanks =).. could you type amixer in the terminal and post the contents at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ ? [07:57] mg_: paste it in and click send, then post the URL of the page here [07:57] OK [07:57] mg_: post the output i mean there [07:57] mobi-sheep: I was considering using ext2 for .home/ for my clients who are just personal computer users incase they erase something and want it recoverd ext2 is simple to recover I couldn't do it on ext3 although im sure its possible [07:57] jasonmchristos: ext3 are the best recommended choices for filesystem. It's stable. Well, ext4 are thought to be faster than ext3. [07:58] ok i post at web site [07:58] excuse me while I read now thanks al;; [07:59] all [07:59] jasonmchristos: The benefits of having ext3 is journaled which mean you don't have to do a hard fsck when something ill occurred. [08:00] jasonmchristos: According to Wikipedia on ext3 --> "Its main advantage over ext2 is journaling which improves reliability and eliminates the need to check the file system after an unclean shutdown." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3 -- Have fun. :) [08:00] Have anybody got xrdp(a rdp server) working on Intrepid? === Salajadin is now known as Severity1 [08:01] has anyone run IE in wine? [08:01] does anybody knows what's going on with jaunty and intel [08:01] mg_: ok.. what is the URL of the page it took you to?

How can I make sure the initrd script mount the volume which contain my keyfiles? (it's a usb key) [08:03] the docs tell me to click on the network-manager in the system tray, but it's not there - can I also start it from the commandline? [08:03] about to cout and paste [08:03] cut [08:04] i made a small script and would like it to run at startup, i've made it so its excutable. someone said put it into my home folder and it should fire up but it does not am i doing something wrong [08:04] Paul_: http://www.ies4linux.org [08:04] mg_: Yes, but you need the URL it takes you to after you click Send [08:05] alright paul [08:05] http://pastebin.com/ is not correct? [08:05] martingoal: do you want it executed while the computer starts up, when it has fully started up, or when you login? [08:05] steve, I don't know if this is what your looking for, but check it out: The GM965 is blacklisted on compiz due to some people having freezes it seems, but the X3100 works without a problem! Just edit /usr/bin/compiz and comment the line where it blacklists the GM965. Begins with $T= but can't remember the rest now. [08:06] It is, but after you paste the output in and click Send, it will take you to another page. I need the address of that page because it contains what you pasted [08:06] mg: ^^ [08:06] thanks piet, but I was hoping to get the real IE7 running on jaunty [08:06] gere [08:06] mg_: i mean see above arrows, not happy arrows [08:06] ah, 'nm-applet' [08:06] when i login is good piet. its only a simple uptime monitor :-) [08:06] ok [08:07] hi guys,is their a .DAT to .ogm converter for ubuntu?i want to convert my .DAT files,thes seem to be twice as big as .ogm so i figure i could save some space doing the conversion [08:07] Paul_: dunno then. but if you really want that to work, i suggest you use virtualization. [08:07] mg@mg-desktop:~$ http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ [08:07] hmmm i need the ubuntu in there? [08:08] ok [08:08] mg_, what are you trying to do?

[08:09] mmmmm...no it wont [08:09] Evil_saltine, mg_ if you want to redirect std out and std err to a file do it this way: amixer &> amixer.txt [08:09] thank you Evil no worries [08:10] martingoal: you can invoke it somewhere within ~/.bashrc (if this is the shell you use). [08:10] Evil_saltine, mg_ then just paste the contents of the file [08:10] ok [08:10] ok [08:10] martingoal: i'm not sure this is the conceptionally right way to do it, but it should work. [08:10] mg_: np, sorry I couldn't help [08:10] hi [08:10] good night evil [08:10] i have ubuntu machine with two NIC [08:11] Steven: I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but check it out: The GM965 is blacklisted on compiz due to some people having freezes it seems, but the X3100 works without a problem!

[08:11] alright thanks I'll look into that [08:11] without setting anything on the browser [08:11] devinbhullar, shouldn't be a problem, just use squid on your box [08:12] yes i tried squid but it still requires me to add my servr IP on the browser [08:12] which i dont want to do [08:12] it gives me something to work off of haha thanks a lot of paul yet again [08:12] it has to be automated [08:12] what about guidedog [08:12] or shoud i install web min and play with IP tables [08:13] ebox [08:14] ok thanks piet !!! thanks for your help, i've only had ubuntu about a week or two so i might not risk it just yet . its only a one liner script. dont want to run before i can walk [08:14] hey guys i kinda had a question how come when i install screenlets and add the togle composting screenlets and activate it i still get some effects without having to install the graphic card driver i mean can any one explain to me how it works [08:14] but i put what you said in text editor just incase i feel confident [08:14] martingoal: what does it do if you don't mind telling? maybe there's a better way...

[08:17] hey guys i kinda had a question how come when i install screenlets and add the togle composting screenlets and activate it i still get some effects without having to install the graphic card driver i mean can any one explain to me how it works [08:17] devinbhullar, Have a look at this --> http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/TransparentProxy.html [08:17] martingoal: ok, and you want to see the output of this on screen or should be written to a logfile or...? [08:17] Ok , I have no sound...I have tried comprehensive sound test with out success [08:18] wow, you guys get innudated all day long i guess [08:18] on screen piet yep! so its running in terminal straight off the bat [08:18] my soundcard is detected [08:18] Greetings! [08:19] hello [08:19] i think it is something i ran in azereus [08:19] I tried installing the new ubuntu on a USB stick (persistent) following the guide on pendrivelinux, but it doesn't boot. I get an error about missing module and get sent to a busybox shell. Has anyone worked around this/know what the problem is? [08:19] i am thinking of re-installing [08:19] if its too complex i will leave it as i only just started trying a script today , i just wondered if it was like windows where you could copy it to a startup type folder [08:19] hi [08:20] mg_, is there any errors in /var/log/messages? [08:20] i will try [08:20] sudo? [08:20] anyone else think its bull that netflix doesn support streaming to linux? [08:20] yessss [08:20] when is rc.local executed? [08:20] i totally agree with the linux thing [08:20] netflix [08:21] is it executed at all? [08:21] mg_, if you type my name first it will show red in my screen so I can see your message [08:21] martingoal: there's no "startup folder" on linux, no. [08:21] i also made a mistake today by thinking home folder meant the folder named home [08:21] oh ok thanks Piet [08:21] thats all I really have to say. [08:21] martingoal: i assume you would want this command to run inside a window on your graphical desktop, right? [08:22] mechdave sudo first? [08:22] there is ls .config/autostart/ btw, not all dms ate respecting that [08:22] martingoal, you can start programs at login by adding their full path to .bash_profile in your home directory [08:22] you mean like a terminal window, piet? if so yep [08:22] hey [08:22] is there any tool I can run [08:22] to see if my hard drive failed? [08:22] hey guys i kinda had a question how come when i install screenlets and add the togle composting screenlets and activate it i still get some effects without having to install the graphic card driver i mean can any one explain to me how it works [08:23] Here's a scenario, I'd like to see under the hood as to what happens when I switch my primary and secondary mouse buttons [08:23] So that I can run these commands in CLI [08:23] martingoal: exactly. :) i did not mean to use this term since you said you were new to linux [08:23] mechdave command not found [08:23] instead of having to go through the menu interface every time [08:23] mg_, should just be able to use tail like this: tail -n 100 /var/log/messages > ~/messages.txt [08:23] martingoal: in this case, you can setup the command to be executed in gnome session manager [08:23] I think my hard drive crashed [08:24] but I am not sure [08:24] is there any sort of tool I can run from a cd [08:24] to check it out [08:24] Is there a way to get nautilus tabs to switch when you ctrl+tab like in every other program known to man besides gedit? [08:24] it should be /msg [08:24] mg_, then use gedit to open messages.txt and paste it [08:24] So how do I switch primary/secondary mouse buttons over the command line [08:25] i cant se ubuntu login page its just a mess or garbled colours. i presume i need to update non released drivers. [08:25] ok piet i will take a look! - do i have to create this file, mechdave? [08:25] ok gedit [08:25] martingoal: run "gnome-session-properties" from within a terminal window to configure the gnome session manager and the commands it will execute on startup [08:25] ccb0x45:unmount your drive, and run fsck [08:25] ok piet, i will give that a whirl now! [08:26] mechdave yikes gottit [08:26] Guest, what specifically should I run [08:26] with fsck [08:26] I have that on a recovery cd [08:26] martingoal, no, it should already be there, try opening it with text editor (be careful, anything you add to the file will get executed on login, you can bork your login if not careful) [08:26] mechdave its a whole new window === Guest97220 is now known as yaycougars [08:26] mg_, you opened it with gedit? [08:27] mechdave you want it all? [08:27] yes [08:27] mechdave yes [08:27] you need to unmount your drive first [08:27] then you need to run fsck [08:27] does fcits un mounted [08:27] unmounted [08:27] cause its from a cd [08:27] on the logical representation of your drive [08:27] done piet, thank you, i will log off in a few then give it a try out! [08:27] so like /dev/sda1 [08:27] ok mechdave will just have a looksie [08:27] but can fcsk fix it [08:27] i will not touch it today but writing what you said in pad too [08:27] martingoal: good luck [08:27] or just tell me if there is a problem [08:27] mg_, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste it [08:28] sounds like that's your drive, is it a SATA drive [08:28] Anyone? A way to make ctrl+tab switch tabs in nautilus? [08:28] hey, i got a quick sound question, can some1 give me a hand? [08:28] sda1 will be the first partition [08:28] mechdave ok [08:28] yea its a sata drive [08:28] on that drive, you want to run it on the entire drive [08:28] not just that partition [08:28] so what would it probably be [08:28] /dev/sda? [08:28] or ada? [08:28] ata I mean [08:28] /dev/sda [08:28] ok brb going to test then i will be back! [08:29] k [08:29] can fcsk fix anything [08:29] or just tell me if its fucked up [08:29] you can read all about it by doing a man on fsck [08:29] man fsck [08:29] ok [08:29] it will attempt to fix your drive [08:29] !language > ccb0x45 [08:29] ccb0x45, please see my private message [08:29] can someone please help with a sound problem? [08:30] but it's not guaranteed, and keep in mind [08:30] oops [08:30] sorry bout the language [08:30] if you really value your data, you should probably clone your drive first [08:30] let me give fcsk a try [08:30] Iwell [08:30] well [08:30] if the hd crashed [08:30] ccb0x45: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:30] I think the data is lost [08:30] onto another drive and try to recover your data from the cloned drive, as fsck but be destructive [08:30] it's like an operation pretty much, it's got its risks [08:30] see what i mean [08:30] ccb0x45, no worries, just something to keep in mind... This is a family room :) [08:30] ill risk it, I dont have a big enough drive to clone it [08:30] ShadowSniper: not unless you tell us what the problem is. don't ask to ask. ;-) [08:31] ok, so first unmount it [08:31] lets see what happens [08:31] when I fcsk it [08:31] don't run fsck against a mounted disk [08:31] umount it first [08:32] its not mounted [08:32] Piet, alright, well i've got 6 output jacks on my mb but the one that is set for output is dead and i was tryen to figure out how to set another one of the ports as a line out [08:32] ubuntu wont load [08:32] I have to do it from a cd [08:32] are you sure [08:32] yaycougars, does fsck complain if it is mounted and exit? [08:32] mechdave crap i lost it [08:32] Anyone? A way to make ctrl+tab switch tabs in nautilus? [08:32] run sudo fdisk -l to be sure [08:32] hold on [08:32] well if I am booting from a linux system restore disk, I doubt its mounted [08:32] let me try [08:33] ok, so it's probably not mounted [08:33] ShadowSniper: huh, i guess you'd have to solder a little on your motherboard then [08:33] but always verify [08:33] I LOVE YOU :) [08:33] oh hey [08:33] oops [08:33] -_- [08:33] ccb0x45, the live disk won't mount the hard disks automatically [08:33] yea [08:33] its not actually the live disk, its another linux system restore [08:33] ShadowSniper: oh 6 _output_ jacks. i see, that's a lot, must be a very special board [08:33] hi [08:33] hello, i'm isung firefox 2.x and now i want to update to 3.x. i've read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion#Manual%20Install but there is no word about uninstalling the previous version. can someone help? [08:34] Piet, their able to be changed, the driver software in windows lets me pick, and i imagine i just need to play with the modprobe info [08:34] hi [08:34] ok [08:34] asfjio, you should just be able to upgrade without uninstall === mano is now known as MartinGoal [08:34] hi, i want to mount an nfs share (via command line is fine) and set myself (james) as owner of the whole share. What are the options for doing this? [08:34] mechdave: how? [08:34] Piet, not really, their just standard 3.5 mm jacks [08:34] indus, Welcome [08:34] it said: superblock invalid, trying backup blocks, bad magic number in super block while trying to open /dev/sda [08:34] asfjio: just delete the firefox folder where you installed it,if you have installed manually [08:35] Piet, most mbs come with 6-8 these days [08:35] mechdave: hi good to see you [08:35] ok, run fsck against the first partition, instead of the whole drive [08:35] asfjio, dpkg -l | grep -i firefox [08:35] sda1 [08:35] mechdave......can you just reccomend a place to reinstall? [08:35] not sda [08:35] ShadowSniper: hmm, if anyone knows how to achieve that on linux then it's the alsa developers, i'd think: http://www.alsa-project.org/ [08:35] asfjio, All I have done before is sudo apt-get install firefox [08:35] mechdave its too much now [08:35] sda1 worked [08:35] mg_, what do you mean re install [08:35] says recovering journal [08:36] mechdave i mean everything [08:36] Ubuntu [08:36] khermans: this shows me 6 rows is that normal? [08:36] Piet, would i need to do anything with pulse audio? [08:36] ShadowSniper: yes, 6 to 8 jacks, but not 6-8 _output_ jacks [08:36] Lol, my pc speaker is beeping every time I hit a key :/ [08:36] asfjio, yes now just locate which packages are related to firefox 2 and remove them [08:36] yaycougars, is this something I should just leave over night [08:36] like it will take a while? [08:36] khermans: remove you mean just delete? [08:37] asfjio, dpkg manages packages for you -- removal is done by dpkg [08:37] ShadowSniper: maybe, but only after you set it up on alsa [08:37] asfjio, just ask it to do what you want [08:37] just remove on synaptic [08:37] Piet, alright [08:37] shouldn't take very long [08:37] mg_, you can just back up all your home directory and reboot into a live disk and reinstall that way [08:37] how big is the disk [08:37] its a 500gig drive [08:37] wow that's a lot of porn [08:37] haha [08:37] ShadowSniper: pulseaudio is 'just' a sounds server, it does mixnmojo, but the software that directly interacts with your hardware is alsa [08:37] mechdave command? [08:37] yeah hehe' [08:37] it was my mythtv box [08:38] 98% full [08:38] funnily enough it only beeps in xchat [08:38] you can check what it's doing [08:38] under the hood [08:38] Piet, alright, thats what i thought but i wasnt sure [08:38] I think /var/log/syslog or dmesg but log what fsck is doing [08:38] honestly I'm not sure where you'd find logging data for fsck, anyone? anyone? bueller? [08:38] ill just let it go over night [08:39] nm [08:39] just finished [08:39] mechdave i have been of this sound thing foir over a month [08:39] any output? [08:39] khermans: 4 of this 6 rows are version 2.x am i supposed to remove all of them? and another what is this ubufox and do i need it? [08:39] mechdave way too long [08:39] attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to re-open /dev/sda1 [08:39] mg_, copy all your home directory to a usb stick like this: cp -rv $HOME/ /media/usb-stick [08:39] io manager magic bad! [08:39] Is there a way to view my COPY/PASTE history? [08:39] https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/where-the-fsck-cumulative-logs-lie-666914/ [08:39] there we go [08:39] mechdave ok [08:39] guessing [08:39] thats probably a bad sign [08:39] mg_, what sound card do you have? [08:40] nvidia [08:40] One place you should look for further information is in the lost+found directory on the partition which you ran fsck against. fsck places orphan files and directories in lost+found. [08:40] yaycougars: /var/log/fsck.log surprisingly ;-) [08:40] mechdave nvidia3 [08:40] mg_, model? [08:40] Cool, you see anything useful in there? [08:40] which packages do I need to install the g++ compiler so I can run c++ programs I can't even get hello world to run right now [08:40] yaycougars, does that message mean my drive is just screwed? [08:40] mechdave yeah not sure about that [08:41] what message [08:41] mechdave which is prob [08:41] mg_, isn't that a video card? [08:41] how to make sure rc.local is launched at startup? [08:41] asfjio, ubufox is an ubuntu addon for firefox [08:41] fsck.ext3: attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to re-open /dev/sda1, io manager magic bad! [08:41] asfjio, helps you click on apt:// links [08:41] mechdave it might be tied to videio [08:41] mechdave: that should be 'cp -pr foo bar' [08:42] nvidia iws sound [08:42] mechdave nvidia is sound?

[09:44] lesshaste: have you restarted firefox? [09:44] Piet: yes [09:44] Gamarok__: which terminal command? [09:44] khermans: crontab -e assumes to edit whoever the current user's crontab that's calling the command [09:44] subsume, i think it is relevant since you used sudo :-) [09:44] khermans: not relevant to the problem as the command was simply not found [09:44] ah [09:45] subsume, i have crontab on my ubuntu servers [09:45] subsume, dont know why u dont have it [09:45] yeah, i dunno why either. I have Linode so maybe they had a weird install [09:45] in general you know . i am pretty new to linux [09:45] subsume, yeah dude thats a custom install [09:45] lesshaste: see if it shows up in extra -> plugins [09:45] Gamarok__: no dice. hunt the commands down one by one. =) [09:46] Piet: how do I find "extras"? [09:46] lesshaste: it should be a main menu [09:47] lesshaste: alternatively enter this in location bar: about:plugins [09:47] Gamarok__: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/basic-commands/C/ [09:47] Hello I need help with my graphic drivers, when ever I install them and reboot i get a black screen I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 installing Ubuntu 8.04 also gives a black screen on instalation so I cant even install that [09:48] Piet: flash is not there [09:48] Gamarok__: that's just the primer, after that it's hunting down the man pages [09:48] Piet: it worked ok with flashplugin-nonfree .. it's adobe-flashplugin that it can't find [09:49] hi guys [09:49] =) [09:49] Hello I need help with my graphic drivers, when ever I install them and reboot i get a black screen I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 installing Ubuntu 8.04 also gives a black screen on installation so I cant even install that [09:49] lesshaste: so why don't you use flashplugin-nonfree? [09:49] Piet: it was version 9 and wasn't supporting some websites [09:50] Piet: the adobe one is version 10 [09:50] Piet: how do I list which files the package installed? So I can see what is going on [09:50] im trying to upload a vidio on to one of my sites and it keeps saying page is interupted and reset ,why does this keep happening [09:50] lesshaste: install adobe-flashplugin again, this time on a terminal window, and see if something goes wrong. [09:50] Piet: done, no error [09:50] lesshaste: do this: aptitude update && aptitude purge adobe-flashplugin && aptitude install adobe-flashplugin [09:51] Hello there I use Ubuntu and I already have kde on my system .But I would like to reinstall kde desktop environment for some personal reasons !Help please [09:51] Hello I need help with my graphic drivers, when ever I install them and reboot i get a black screen I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 installing Ubuntu 8.04 also gives a black screen on installation so I cant even install that [09:52] Blizzerand: start synaptic, look for the kde package, right click the selection box and select "reinstall" [09:52] lesshaste, adobe-flashplugin is better -- but comes from the partner repository [09:53] khermans: how do I list the files it installs? [09:53] Piet: done.. no difference [09:53] Blizzerand: actually, this only works if you sill have synaptic installed [09:53] lesshaste: dpkg -L adobe-flashplugin [09:53] Hello! [09:53] I may have done something rather stupid, I dunno. Thought before I do anything else I better ask. I'm new to ubuntu, I installed it last week, and several days I couldn't use it because of hardware problems. So, complete Newbie to anything Linux. (No to computers itself.) [09:53] One of my old hard disks with W2K on them, which I wanted to keep and try to run in a Virtual Box, lost its partition table. I used testdisk to recover the data. Unfortunately, I coped all files into my home directory, which of course is a tad inconvenient. I couldn't move them, either, because they were owned by root. Great. [09:53] So what I did was to chown all files in my root directory from owner "root" to owner "me". I throught too late about the fact that on a unix system, there might be drawbacks to this. Are there? Did I condemn my system to a slow and painfull death? Or does it not matter much? [09:53] AlexTM: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:54] Ops ... [09:54] Piet :Can't I just use the terminal [09:54] Hello I need help with my graphic drivers, when ever I install them and reboot i get a black screen I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 installing Ubuntu 8.04 also gives a black screen on installation so I cant even install that [09:54] Piet: http://pastebin.ca/1423498 maybe it just needs a symlink? [09:54] i subscribed to a bugmail on launchpad, but now i dont want to get the mail anymore [09:54] Blizzerand: sure you can. just to understand correctly, you want to reinstall all kde packages since you think something is wrong with them? [09:55] but launchpad is a mess to find subscriptions in [09:55] Could you read what I wrote or was that eaten before it went out to you? [09:55] totally cant find it [09:55] AlexTM, would sudo aptitude reinstall ~i work ? [09:55] Ineed help with installing ATI graphic drivers for Ubuntu 9.04 [09:55] Piet : All pakages >> Yes [09:55] <_fb> is there a good hack to 'log' a tty session? i am aware of script, ttyrec, etc. what i want is a text file of a large amount of stuff that scrolls on my terminal in an openssl session. i guess i could set a large buffer in my terminal app and save that. but is there a more elegant way? [09:55] I need help with installing ATI graphic drivers for Ubuntu 9.04 everything I install gives me a black screen after reboot [09:55] khermans: I have not tried anything new, just kept everything open [09:56] Piet: I think there should be a link in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins for it to work [09:56] and when i do find some subscription, it only lists subscriptions that are about individual bugs, ive subscribed to a package [09:56] MaxTesla, sudo jockey-gtk [09:56] khermans will that do they trick? [09:56] Blizzerand: yes, possibly. have a look in your profile directory, there should be 'plugins' directory containing a symlink to the libflashplayer.so in there. [09:56] khermans: can i ask you another question. what should i install to play mov and mp4 files. i've searched for installing mplayerplug-in, but i got stuck [09:56] khermans: What would the command do? [09:56] MaxTesla, it will present you the options [09:57] khermans will type it in now [09:57] AlexTM, reinstall all installed packages [09:57] Hi all, does anyone know a video screen capture application ? [09:57] lesshaste: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins would probably work, too, just system wide. [09:57] AlexTM, might reset your permissions correctly for all files [09:57] AlexTM, it wont do any harm [09:57] theeclipse, vnc2swf [09:57] Hello Ubuntuees! [09:58] I will try that then as soon as there is the slightest hint of troubles. [09:58] theeclipse, or xvidcap i think or xscreencap [09:58] khermans: Thanks a lot.. [09:58] khermans that can also be acomplished by clicking system adminstrator hardware ANYWAY it only displays a modem card not my graphic card [09:59] MaxTesla, then ubuntu did not detect your card [09:59] _fb: what's an openssl session? [09:59] I've installed Windows XP in Virtual Box and I cannot access flash drives. How do I get out of this mess? [09:59] khermans then how do i get it to detect my card and then install the proper installation files [09:59] MaxTesla, this is jaunty/ [09:59] ? [09:59] i subscribed to a bugmail on launchpad, but now i dont want to get the mail anymore, but launchpad is a mess to find subscriptions in [09:59] totally cant find it... and when i do find some subscription, it only lists subscriptions that are about individual bugs, ive subscribed to a package [09:59] so i'm trying to install ubuntu i put the disc in and tell it to install the ubuntu loading screen comes up for a bit and then it dumps me into busybox, can someone help me? [10:00] khermans i tried to install ubuntu 8.04 but then i just get black screen at installation should is earch for an even earlier version than 8.04 which version should i install [10:00] hi [10:00] linduxed, just click the link at the bottom of the email and unsubscribe [10:00] Piet: total failure .. this is weird [10:00] khermans: how did you get it to work? [10:00] I've installed Windows XP in Virtual Box and I cannot access flash drives. How do I get out of this mess? [10:00] i have ubuntu with 2 NIC [10:00] MaxTesla, use 9.04 if you can [10:00] MaxTesla, i presume it is a new ATI card you need a driver for [10:00] khermans: there is no such link [10:00] and i want all LAN users to get access to a proxy server [10:00] theeclipse: also istanbul [10:00] how can i configure ? [10:01] Is there any way i can change the password for a user account without knowing its pass. I was root and done 'su ' then 'passwd' and it's asking me for the user account's password, which i don't know. [10:01] khermans I am using Ubuntu 9.04 how do i install grapic card drivers to this without going to black screen at reboot I have ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 HD it is a laptop [10:01] Piet: Thanks man.. [10:01] any idea if it is possible to install flash 9 or 10 debug 32bit version (64bit doesn't exist yet) on 64 bit (jaunty) ?? [10:01] lesshaste: see if there's a README in /usr/share/doc/adobe-flashplugin [10:01] linduxed, there is a link to the bug, click that link, then go to the right and see subscribers and unsubscribe [10:02] lesshaste: also check if there's a symlink for flash in /etc/alternatives [10:02] Khermans on the sticker it on the physical computer it says Mobility Radeon HD2300 in windows it said Mobility Radeon X2300 HD [10:02] khermans: which ive tried, its not there either [10:02] dr4g, sudo passwd user [10:02] khermans: but i found a solution [10:02] khermans thankyou i will test [10:03] MaxTesla, unless you really care about old ub, why not ubuntu, why not use the latest? ;-) [10:03] khermans: it says in the mail, "you got this mail because you subscribe to XXXX" so i searched for XXXX and then pressed subscribe, and unchecked the box [10:03] khermans: At least reinstalling a package via synaptic does not cause any problems. Will try that with something bigger now. [10:03] hello all [10:03] khermans i will use any linux version that works with my grapphic card, can you help me to get it to work [10:03] khermans: assbackward as few things launchpad is [10:03] hey, anyone familiar with how to build shared libraries and use them? [10:03] i'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on another desktop and when i boot into it and try the live version and also to install it just takes me to the ubuntu loading screen for awhile and then puts me into busy box and won't go any further, how can i continue and install ubuntu?

[10:04] Piet: there are lots http://pastebin.ca/1423499 [10:04] vinilios: look into the linux32 wrapper application. i cannot guide you further through this, though, try to find a how.to. [10:04] the add to archive button just creates tar files [10:04] linduxed, it also might be a bug "duplicate" email [10:05] I need some help with getting my sound running, I have a HP Pavilion dv-7 2040 notebook with a 3D Sound Blaster Pro compatibel 16-bits integrated card and the sound is not working [10:05] Kingsy101, there should be format selection option [10:05] Kingsy101, man zip or use the gui [10:05] hi [10:05] lesshaste: sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-flashplugin [10:06] thanks [10:06] hello, how do I REMOVE encrypted swap? thanks! [10:06] I have several .c and .h files.

[10:08] I did that but found that it might have to do with some peculiarities [10:08] Gnea: that command did it all, I didn't mannually do it [10:08] lesshaste: ok, that can have solved it already [10:08] khermans i will try something now might vanish for some time, thanks for your advice [10:08] what does "don't use Enter as punctuation" mean? I can figure it out... ? [10:08] khermans: tried gcc -pedantic -gdwarf-2 -shared -Wl,-soname lib_ipv6.so.1 -o lib_ipv6.so.1.0 [.o files] [10:08] xrfang: well, I've never done it, but usually, swap is setup at boottime through fstab [10:09] it's not complaining [10:09] blob_, better question for ##c [10:09] ok [10:09] after using that stuff, I found that my boot splash will not work i.e. the "quiet" param does not work, also, ubuntu always tell me that I am on battery and cannot do fs check, even I am *not* on battery [10:09] thanks [10:09] lesshaste: see where the link points to: sudo ls -la /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so [10:10] I have Jaunty, but starting with Intrepid the volume control (physical buttons) stopped working.

[10:10] lesshaste: oh, the same for flash then, sorry :) [10:10] just to give the complete story: then I tried gcc -o example example.c libmylib.so. No warning.

[10:14] marin: re-start firefox [10:14] I followed the link at speedtest.net it was leading to adobe page [10:14] lesshaste: next tie you start firefox, start it from a terminal window, since that may shot you error messages you don't normally get to see [10:14] I did [10:14] hello guys i am getting "mkdir: cannot create Too many links" how to fix ?

[10:15] Piet: http://pastebin.ca/1423504 [10:16] marin: okay, it sounds like you installed it via the website, and that can complicate and break things... there is, however, another way that you can use to install it and make it work, but you'll need to remove the current installation of flash [10:16] Gnea you look mighty busy now.. maybe I can ask that some other time? though i can see.. if I really needed help.. this looks like the place i should come..

[10:28] Nope [10:28] Piet: it was for future reference. for the next install, as it were. :-) [10:28] I just opened it with Package Installer Gnea [10:28] hey, how do i extract_ .tar.xz files_ [10:29] ? [10:29] systat: then you need to open a terminal and: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep flash and see what packagename it installed it as [10:29] adam____: tar xvf file.tar.gz [10:29] adam____: tar xvzf file.tar.gz [10:30] dayo: 'z' is no longer required [10:30] Gnea, dayo: .tar.xz [10:30] Adam: type "tar xvfz file.tgz" [10:30] Gnea: really? [10:30] I install libapache2-mod-suphp , but It's not working . Any Site or Doc could I read? [10:30] Gnea, here it is ii adobe-flashplugin 10.0.22.87-1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 [10:30] dayo: try it. === skynet is now known as Guest89636 [10:30] dayo: what exactly? [10:30] adam____: You're sure it's .xz? Not .gz or .bz2? [10:30] systat: nice. now: sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin [10:30] grawity: yes [10:30] Piet: 21:25:09 #ubuntu: < Piet> dayo: so you're suggesting ehs should use lvm2 or mdadm. true, he could do this, but this doesn't make it much easier, since he (?) wants to grow an existing partition [10:30] adam____: what's the whole filename? [10:31] Piet: your post from last nite. just saw it :P [10:31] adam____: And what does 'file blahblah.tar.xz' say? [10:31] dayo: oh, you have a looong backlog [10:31] jjmjjmjmj [10:31] Okay, Gnea, package removed [10:31] hi all people [10:31] Piet: i have a hilight window, split screened into my irssi :-) [10:31] mintux: your file system's journal is somehow missing. [10:31] hi all [10:31] .. [10:31] !flash | systat (good, now please visit this site and follow the directions there) [10:31] systat (good, now please visit this site and follow the directions there): To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [10:32] why can't i get UNR as an lpia image?! [10:32] mintux: i guess the last gparted operating did not exit cleanly? [10:32] grawity, Gnea: exherbo-x86-current.tar.xz [10:32] adam____: try renaming it, maybe. never heard of .xz mv file.tar.xz file.tar.gz and then tar xvf file.tar.gz [10:32] dayo: quite useful [10:32] adam____: Try using the "file" command on that archive. [10:32] Piet i think .. im not sure i do a fsck on /dev/sda7 and i got http://pastebin.com/m5e50de9d [10:33] grawity: it says it is data [10:33] dayo, ok [10:33] Piet: well I found the answer! [10:33] Gnea, there are instructions about each version except the one I have 8.04 :( [10:33] asd [10:33] f [10:33] asd [10:33] fasd [10:33] fas [10:33] df [10:33] Da[D]an: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:33] systat: they'll work [10:33] mintux: you are using linux mint, not ubuntu [10:34] systat: try the instructions for 8.10 [10:34] dayo, it says it does not look like a tar archive [10:34] Piet mint is ubuntu [10:34] adam____: did you get it from http://www.exherbo.org/? [10:34] yup [10:34] lesshaste: tell me [10:34] Piet: and it's really annoying :) [10:34] trying to run it in virtualbox [10:34] Hi, I dont know if this is the right place or not but im running ubuntu jaunty and i was wondering gparted wont let me resize my ubuntu file system partition ive booted into the gparted live cd does the same thing [10:35] adam____: odd stuff [10:35] Piet: it seems that if you have gnash installed firefox just silently ignores adobe flash [10:35] sebmck: xfs or jfs? [10:35] Piet: if you remove gnash before installing flash it works [10:35] adam____: okay, we don't support that distribution, but if you read the website here: http://www.exherbo.org/gettingstarted.html it tells you what you need to have to make it work [10:35] hi all... I'm ssh'ed into a server that has 100% of the root partition full... what can I look at to try to clean up some space? [10:35] DaZ: sorry? the file system i dont know what you mean [10:35] mintux: no it's not, it's a seperate distro. [10:35] Gnea: ok, thanks guys [10:36] yes, what type is the filesystem [10:36] Piet: it;s really quite annoying [10:36] ext3 [10:36] lesshaste: i see, hmm, okay, that would explain it. [10:36] DaveIngram: du -h --max-depth=1 / [10:36] sebmck: it's unmounted? [10:36] DaveIngram: I;d start by cleaning up /tmp [10:36] DaZ: Yes im running the GParted Live CD [10:37] DaZ: i can downsize it but not enlarge [10:37] Piet mint is fork of ubuntu .. that i think it chanages some thing like bacground add some multi media codecs . but if you can't help me you are free . not need to say something like it [10:37] mintux: anyway, in addition to your journal missing, your superblock is corrupt. this can be restored since there areother copies of the superblock on the file system, but please look this up on your own [10:38] i don't know :x [10:38] Boohbah: SteveHill: Thanks.. checking now. I suspect it's my mysql database that's filled up that drive... how would I go about taking some of the space off of another partition and giving it to the root partition? [10:38] Gnea, I get this Package adobe-flashplugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. [10:38] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [10:38] is only available from another source [10:38] E: Package adobe-flashplugin has no installation candidate [10:38] systat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:38] DaveIngram: parted [10:38] hmmm [10:38] mintux: yes, it's a different distribution, that's what i just said. [10:38] Piet: apparently it's a bug fixed in jaunty [10:39] lesshaste: ah, good to know [10:39] adam____: i find this on .xz http://linuxgazette.net/162/lindholm.html [10:39] Piet: which they won't fix :) LTS doesn't quite mean what you might think [10:39] adam____: looks like u need the xz tool to unpack .xz archives. figures. [10:39] DaveIngram: What I think you are asking is how to change the size of the root partition; for that use fdisk or gparted. [10:39] anyway if that doesnt work ill just reinstall ubuntu, but does anyone know how to basically backup all of my downloaded programs for conversion to put into another ubuntu installation? [10:39] adam____: first time i've heard of this extension, i tell u [10:39] lesshaste: can you tell systat which repository to activate to get the adobe-flashplugin? is it medibuntu? [10:40] systat: okay, let's try something different then - could you please pastebin the output of this command: apt-cache search flash [10:40] I have sometimes gotten away for a short time, by making a hard link to another partition. [10:40] ? I have Ubuntu [10:40] !pastebin [10:40] 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) [10:40] SteveHill: Boohbah: Great, thanks guys! (I'm a PHP guy trying to play SysAdmin... that can never be good... thanks for your help) [10:40] i see no one can help me [10:40] dayo: hm.. i just found http://tukaani.org/xz/ .. *sigh* what's wrong with normal file formats? :/ [10:41] !backup | sebmck [10:41] sebmck: There are many ways to back your system up.

ZIP is at least kind-of open. [10:42] sebmck: there is a package called aptoncd that will burn the applications that you have added onto a cd for later installation. [10:42] * grawity likes .zip [10:42] zip sucks <: [10:42] tar it [10:42] SteveHill: Okay thanks, and thanks everyone else for there help [10:42] grawity: this is Ubuntu, not Debian. ;) [10:42] how can I tell what partition my mysql database is on?

(.tar.bz2 is popular) [10:43] the firefox logo is copyright, what are you going to do about that grawity? ;) [10:43] adam____: yeah, i know what u mean. i wish i had more time to create packages for some of these things. like koha, for example. but that's a huge project. all that damn CPAN. *shudder* [10:44] DaveIngram: df /var/lib/mysql* [10:44] adam____: But it's usually in .png which is open. The contents are irrelevant at the moment. [10:44] dayo: CPAN is almost its own distribution [10:44] Okay, enough offtopic. [10:44] Piet: oh yeah, 100% use.. ouch..

It was my mysql log files and I had added a massive table last night... so I'm pretty sure that was the whole issue [11:21] hey has anyone implemented full disk evncryption? [11:21] does it degrade performance much? [11:21] since it has a new bootmanager, is GRUB comaptible with it or whatever? just wanna make sure i dont break anything [11:21] Boohbah: trouble is the guys who set up this server didn't leave any space for the database to grow. (Good idea on a *web* server? ..uhh.. no) [11:21] Piet: I'm more concerned about getting things back up and working at the moment, instead of finding out what has happened.. unless that's entirely out of the question later [11:22] hello [11:22] i want to set up an ubuntu system for my father [11:22] veryhappy, yes?

[11:22] and now i want to set up ubuntu [11:22] bluegoon: cp ~/.mozilla-thunderbird ~/Desktop [11:23] veryhappy, download the Live CD and give it a test drive [11:23] and install windows xp on a virtualbox vm [11:23] wait until i had finished please [11:23] veryhappy, UH? [11:23] so now i need to ask [11:23] Thank you [11:23] veryhappy, type all at once then :P [11:23] Boobah: ty [11:23] !enter | veryhappy [11:23] veryhappy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:23] enter is not a period [11:23] :D [11:23] ok [11:24] Piet: I don't have a cd drive, is there any other method? [11:25] Igneous: usb key stick i would guess. how did you install in the first place? [11:25] with butterflies [11:25] Igneous, hrmm..could use netlinboot [11:25] what does cp: ommiting directory mean? [11:25] I want to know how i should setup the swap partition and how i see the real memory i tried it already with /proc/mem but i didnt see where i get the information about the real ram and now i want to see how many ram it haves and then i want to know also how many memory should i give the virtual hard disk its and 40 gb notebook where i install ubuntu and then i place the virtual box vm with windows xp above. [11:25] bluegoon: that cp will no copy the directory/folder [11:25] bluegoon: use cp -R (to copy recursively) [11:26] ah ok, thanks [11:26] bluegoon: oh that means it missed a subdirectory, sorry. 'cp -a ~/.mozilla-thunderbird ~/Desktop' [11:26] veryhappy: "free " on a terminal [11:27] Igneous: what is butterflies? [11:27] Ive tried the cp -a now, nothing happened. [11:27] ok 515264 total means then how many ram? [11:27] Good Afternoon [11:27] no directory on the Desktop yet. [11:27] physical? [11:27] Igneous, sorry that's unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [11:27] veryhappy: 512 MiB [11:27] ok [11:28] bluegoon, you need cp -R for recursive [11:28] and normal you should twice the size for swap right? [11:28] Piet: Butterflies flap their delicate wings, the disturbance ripples outward, changing the flow of the eddy currents in the upperatmosphere. These cause mometary pockets of higher-pressure air to form, which acts as lenses that deflect incoming cosmic rays, focusing them to strike the drive platter and flip consecutive bits on the hard drive, to install ubuntu.

[11:35] r3dux: It kept giving me the login box each time after about 5 minutes of connecting [11:35] Kajarly: You could try installing backports and see if there's a newer version of the wifi driver.. I had to - my wireless would go into "deep sleep" every now and then until I installed backports [11:35] Guest8889: whats prelink? [11:35] Igneous: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick use the unetbootin method, since that may work without dpkg [11:35] Igneous, do you have a usb flash drive? You could install unetbootin and it'll download the Ubuntu iso for you and install it [11:36] r3dux: I haven't connected it to the internet yet, need to find a lan cable long enough to get to the router [11:36] Piet, I told him that 10 minutes ago :) [11:36] Kajarly: nods.

You can't grow a drive in VirtualBox, you can just add Extended partitions to it (i.e. D: drive) [11:41] Igneous: maybe, i never tried [11:41] how do umean [11:41] droid7: yes, but not a good way to go [11:41] root__: we can, and will not help you with that issue in this room [11:41] root__: s/can/cannot [11:41] Igneous: feel free to do so [11:42] i cccc [11:42] ok thank you [11:42] root__: before you go penetrating other people's systems you may want to stop running your irc client as root :) [11:42] i will set a hard drive that grows for 35 gb [11:42] How do I install ATi graphic card drivers in Ubuntu 9.04 without getting the black screen of death at reboot [11:42] what do discuss here anyway/ [11:42] MaxTesla: make sure you install the right drivers?

Because the 500Gb drive is a clone of the 250Gb one, the large drive only has room for 250Gb. [13:13] Now, I need to resize the /home/ partition on the large drive, but it is imperative that no data is lost. I will backup the thing, but I dont want to end up having a corrupted drive/unusable system. Any way to do this? [13:14] loooooolz i got lost with dsb :S [13:14] oky i will now :D [13:14] hphubert, after start up? that device is normally a pcmcia card [13:14] can someone give me a hint how I can partition the system onto 2 disks with preseed configuration ?

[13:17] !files > yinlong [13:17] yinlong, please see my private message [13:18] The size of EXT3 "/dev/sda1" == 35.70 GiB [13:18] and i have 40 GB HD [13:19] :P then go for it [13:19] preseed is debian's and ubuntu preconfiguration file for automatic installation [13:19] how can i see the transfer rate of a file copy with nautilus?

Num lock *IS* on, but I cannot type using my keypad. I get nothing when I try to [13:21] sannysanoff: you use the 'offset' option of mount. [13:21] Huufarted: if you hold down 4, does your mouse pointer move?

[13:23] bigjay: I don't know === janne is now known as Skiessi [13:23] because rhytmbox doesn't have a source box, like it should? [13:23] sannysanoff: find the start block of the partition you want. (mutiply that by 512) and then use mount -t whatever -o loop,ro,offset=###### imagename /media/test [13:23] xub, mm I think I am confused by that :) I am not sure it took me a while to figure out to eliminate the "password for user" thing :) [13:23] xub that is not a ubuntu support question.. thanks.. there are channels for #bash and the others [13:23] and when i remove and reinstall it using add/remove, it doesnt seem to work, ie all settings are rememberd and songs still there [13:24] i have that usb device that is not working with vbox ,,it is a usb cable of joinmax robots http://roboexp.com ... i tried it in mac with vbox and worked fine... any ideas ??

[13:26] kixs: check the .profile or .bashrc or .bash_profile and how its setting the prompt. [13:26] vigo, ive installed all the drivers and such for myy card but i dont know what /dev/ttyS? it is [13:26] anas: sory to hear that. i would say check the vbox docs and tweak with the usb configuation stuff. [13:26] laxa8831 Use purge with apt-get or synaptic [13:26] laxa8831: Yes, purge it and apt-get it. [13:26] vigo, ive installed all the drivers and such for myy card but i dont know what /dev/ttyS? it is [13:26] thxs dr_willis - It simply annoying as I cant press up arrow for instance :P [13:26] whoops [13:27] kixs: huh? thats for the command line history..

[14:37] nmvictor there is also winff I think is the correct name [14:37] !find winff [14:37] Jack_Sparrow: I see logs where people are showing the association how can I do this? [14:37] nmvictor: it may not be not in the default repository due to software patents, but you'll find instructions on the web. [14:37] Found: winff [14:37] station6 Update your bios ? [14:37] BenB: then use mplayer to do the conversion or ffmpeg does the conversion for streaming into mplayer?

[14:38] is there something i'm missing? [14:38] I am having problems with auto-pairing with my MS Bluetooth mouse. Anyone can help me? [14:38] station6 correct, in windows it is fine.. but for linux.. update the bios [14:38] nmvictor: if you just want to play something, you use mplayer. if you want to store it in a different format, you use mencoder, which is part of mplayer. [14:38] BenB: .DAT to .ogm conversion [14:39] Jack_Sparrow: Ok thank you for the advice I wasn't sure what you were getting at before [14:39] mihira: repeat your question every hour, not every 3 minutes, thanks.

Specifically, a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, with Service Pack 1. [15:19] I have already tried www.fs-driver.org . Vista told me that I needed to "format the drive in order to use it", to which I declined. [15:19] terrestre: isn't that a prerelase? [15:19] strife89: macdrive? [15:19] Jinxed553: I think it actually is the same codebase bu different wrappers. I prefer Gnash to Flash because it has fewer exploits... and because it is open source. [15:19] I am having a problem installing 9.04 - particularly installing new kernels... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7283704#post7283704 [15:19] having problems with apt-get dist-upgrade - Stuck with intrepid and trying to get to jackalope [15:20] chocobanana: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5038203 [15:20] me too fenn_ whats your problem [15:20] Jinxed553, yes but its work very good, btw you just need to copy the file in .mozilla folder [15:20] will__: I need something free. :/ [15:20] fenn what problem are you having -- this is mine: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7283704#post7283704 [15:21] exen: No [15:21] Ahlee i need to boot with the "second" monitor and without the "first" one [15:21] mintux: see if gpart is in the repos. that is an app dedicated to searching for partitions and restoring partition table [15:21] ok thanks usr13 [15:21] pica: ty that was it [15:21] exen: I would say, most but not all. [15:21] im having a problem installing new kernels - system won't boot on any of my installed kernels [15:21] phreaknite: i know jackalope is out but the apt-get dist-upgrade [15:22] usr13: i meant the easy_install of python;) [15:22] strife89: i've never used this one, but i found diskinternals.com in a google search [15:22] terrestre: I'm a little weary about prerelease... even stable prereleases plus it has like 10 steps and 3 other things you need to download versus add/remove and a checkbox, but I think you for your input [15:22] Strife89: ive found that windows gets confused with that tool a bit.. some times i booted and it saw the linux disks.. some tmes it wouldent. [15:22] pepperjack you mean gparted ? [15:22] hum oki [15:22] mintux: no [15:22] phreaknite: did you compile them by yourself or you just apt them? [15:22] i apt them [15:22] but now i am trying to compile myself === mike is now known as Guest4991 [15:23] and i am getting the same problem [15:23] phreaknite: try compile them [15:23] i am in a netroot in recovery mode [15:23] and the same problem is occurring [15:23] phreaknite: did you follow the instructions from the README file from the kernels? [15:23] mintux: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gpart; sudo gpart /dev/sda -W /dev/sda <-- from livecd [15:23] phreaknite: are you using lilo or grub? [15:23] usr13: thanks for that but what what I was really looking for is how to make an Alsa app Jack aware. I know that Ubuntu used to have jack in the libasound2-plugins package but it's not there anymore since a few releases ago. That's why I wanted to know if there's some kind of 3rd party repo or package for that. [15:23] mintux: i am assuming you didnt reforat it of course :) [15:24] phreaknite: anyway what is it the problem? [15:24] mintux: if that works will you consider making a wiki entry for it? [15:24] having problems with apt-get dist-upgrade [15:24] Stuck with intrepid and trying to get to jackalope [15:24] http://tinypic.info/files/9ngsva2va5bnfpysrpjs.png [15:24] Hello [15:24] Jinxed553, i tried gnash and swf release and i was not very happy about the results, you can check by yourself [15:24] Have a kernel panic after upgrade to 9.04 [15:24] cantoma: i am using GRUB. It turns out that i am stll using apt but i did apt-get to compile the kernel on my own [15:25] Zzeiss: I tried to install it from the Add/Removes Gui and got this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/173050/ [15:25] cantoma: the problem is that when i try to install or configure any new kernels they hang as shown here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7283704#post7283704 [15:25] * Strife89 downloads http://www.diskinternals.com/download/Linux_Reader.exe [15:25] error [15:25] when did 9.04 come out? [15:25] end of march? [15:25] 1 week ago [15:25] phreaknite: i know jackalope is out but the apt-get dist-upgrade gets me nothing [15:25] terrestre: how long did it take you to install [15:25] cantoma: this happened originally when trying to do a regular update through update manager [15:25] chocobanana: Looks like there may be useful info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1012283 [15:25] fenn: what is the output of apt-get dist-upgrade [15:25] Jinxed553: No, it's not in the GUI. You have to do it from the terminal, as a sudo. This is because you need to wild-card in all of the .*gnash.* stuff, not just gnash alone. [15:26] Jinxed553, 2 minutes? btw im using 8.04 [15:26] pepperjack it's in gparted http://tinypic.info/files/9ngsva2va5bnfpysrpjs.png i didn't allow it to create a partition and i reseted it [15:26] fenn_, did you try update-manager -d from terminal [15:26] dios_mio: www.ubuntu.com/ [15:26] hey, i am using screenlets. but when i click my minimize all button the widgets get minimized too. how can i prevent this? [15:26] i want to install slackware,can i ? [15:26] Has anyone used 9.04 with flash 10? [15:26] SoDoMa: Sure [15:26] phreaknite: ok download the lastest kernel from kernel.org ... tar it .. configure it .. make it .. and make install it .. and tell your grub about it .. thats it [15:26] Jinxed553, let me reboot and check lol [15:27] Jinxed553: I've been having tons of issues with 9.04 and flash/gnash/swfdec [15:27] but in my laptop,i have Vista and Ubuntu 2 [15:27] SoDoMa: Just add a drive or create a new partition and away you go. [15:27] cantoma: thanks -- where can i find newbie instructions on how to configure and make a kernel from tar? [15:27] * llml_ is watching on mintux's problem [15:27] cantoma: i apologize for being a noob [15:27] phreaknite: i mean untar [15:27] cantoma: in the tar is there a readme that explains the process? [15:28] cantoma: or another web application i can use to find out how to do that [15:28] phreaknite: for that question google is your friend [15:28] SoDoMa: You would have to shrink on or more of the existing partitions to make room, but I see no reason why you can't do it. But I must say, that the Slackware install is not an automataded process like Ubuntu so be sure and read slackbook first. [15:28] cantoma: ill try my best, thanks mate -- which kernel is best for Jaunty, btw [15:28] mintux: run the gpart command i mentioned [15:28] not gparted [15:28] Jinxed553, btw did you try sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree ? [15:28] chuck_: you win the prize. Thanks [15:29] terrestre: no... should i? [15:29] i'm running [15:29] cantoma: would 2.6.29.3 work for it, seeing as it is the latest stable version? [15:29] Seeing this in my dmesg logs during install, bad CD?: May 15 14:04:24 in-target: Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 9.04 _Jaunty Jackalope_ - Release amd64 (20090421.1)]/pool/main/u/usbutils/usbutils_0.73-8ubuntu3_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch [15:29] fenn_, your welcome [15:29] mintux: oh is your partition table ok? looks ok in gparted [15:29] Jinxed553, sure that's the first option, did you install the rextricted-extra packages? [15:29] terrestre: no [15:29] lol should i? [15:30] What is Linux? === linduxed1 is now known as linduxed [15:30] mintux: ah the 140GB partition that is empty. yeah run gpart [15:30] I'm a new. [15:30] !linux [15:30] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [15:30] !restricted | Jinxed553 [15:30] Jinxed553: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [15:30] SoDoMa: Unlike Ubuntu, the Slackware install relies heavily on user input. You will use fdisk to partition the free and add the / partition and the swap partition and then run setup and start with the install process, it is not at all like Ubunut. Ubuntu is totally automated. Slackware is NOT. [15:30] Jinxed553, yes that's the first package you need to install for flash, java, mp3, codevs [15:30] hello experts, just tell me a little thing. I want to open Eclipse from the menu as a root so that I can create projects and work in it. How can I open it as root ? [15:30] pepperjack no i don't think so.... i don't know ... http://tinypic.info/files/9ngsva2va5bnfpysrpjs.png i had 4 partitions and one important of them was my home ( with important data ) ... :-( [15:31] Linux is better Vista? [15:31] pepperjack what does gpart do ? [15:31] yes!!!!1 [15:31] rockman: i perfer linux to vista. yes. [15:31] phreaknite: http://www.kernel.org/ -> The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.29.3 [15:31] rockman: We tend to think so. The people in ##windows channel of course may have other opinions [15:31] yes i agree [15:31] Jinxed553, just sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras it's take a while [15:31] vista are for your granmas [15:31] Oh. [15:31] mintux: it is an app designed to look for intact partitions if you have messed up your partition table [15:32] ok [15:32] actually i think ubuntu is pretty good for granmas [15:32] terrestre: what will that get me? [15:32] But Linux is slow. [15:32] Begin scan... [15:32] hello experts, just tell me a little thing. I want to open Eclipse from the menu as a root so that I can create projects and work in it. How can I open it as root ? [15:32] but in my bios i can run what SO want to use ? [15:32] linux isn't slow! [15:32] SoDoMa: You should ask slackware questions on channel ##slackware [15:32] O? [15:32] rockman trolling? [15:32] mudassar: why do you want to start eclipse as root? [15:32] mintux: manpage said gpart guesses the partition info ;) [15:32] cantoma: i don't have a bootable version of linux right now -- so how can i get the .bz2 onto my linux partition? [15:32] But mt pc is poor. [15:33] llml_: its an educated guess ;p [15:33] neldoreth: actually when I try to add a new class file in the project, it says "Access Denied" [15:33] ok [15:33] cantoma: there is no operable kernel that i can boot into... [15:33] ok [15:33] I recently upgraded to 9.04, now i have a error message from a "Tracker Applet"? [15:33] Jinxed553, like i said java, flash, codecs, mp3 codecs, actually every multimedia player you need at once [15:33] thanks for all [15:33] SoDoMa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:33] well ubuntu is good for your kids and parernts and friends and your lover and grannies and anyone else in the worl but vista? only grannies shud use it... and the cripples [15:33] mudassar: then change your workspace/project path [15:33] o [15:33] SoDoMa: But you can use gpart to resize your partiton(s) to make room for a new OS install. [15:33] pepperjack: I guess so :) [15:33] pepperjack: Hehe [15:33] windows is good for games lol [15:33] Im having a problem installing 9.04 on a IBM xSeries with ServeRAID-7, the installer cant find any drives on the device, I have tried loading "ips" module by hand but doesnt seem to do much. [15:33] wintendo [15:33] phreaknite: ok so your problem is to fix your actual boot [15:33] neldoreth: it is in the folder /home/mudassar/workspace and I want it to be there .. [15:34] Is Ubuntu better Deb? [15:34] how can i get rid of the ubuntu specific settings in the useragent of firefox? i can remove it via specific settings, but the problem is, they seem to return after a while on their own. [15:34] cantoma: yes [15:34] in ubuntu jaunty on my laptop, i don't get a estimate countdown time for how much battery time is left. is there anything i can do about that ? [15:34] llml_: i know .. i read it from wikipedia im confuse now. while installation i checked my fucked mail ( in live cd ) and when i be aware i pressed install button ... and BooomB. [15:34] icewaterman: there are useragent extensions that let you change them around I recall. [15:34] cantoma: the upgrade FUBAR'd my boot and no kernel will now load [15:34] how much does it take time usually ? [15:34] Er...What is XUbuntu?And Kubuntu? [15:34] cantoma: i apologize for the XY problem i presented just now [15:34] phreaknite: you have a live cd [15:34] pepperjack: I thought the letter g in gpart should be gun but manpage says it is really guess. It's fun:) [15:34] !language | mintux [15:34] Hi y'all. I downloaded lightning for thunderbird but don't know how to "turn it on" [15:34] mintux: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [15:34] Dr_Willis, my problem is, that the standard setting always returns [15:34] !kubuntu | rockman [15:34] rockman: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [15:34] and i do not know why [15:35] pepperjack: I mean GNU [15:35] !xubuntu | rockman [15:35] rockman, Quit trolling [15:35] rockman: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[15:35] Oh.I see.Thank you. [15:35] cantoma: not for Jaunty 9.04 -- downloading it now [15:35] rockman: Xubuntu is a smaller install. Kubunt uses KDE instead of Gnome. [15:35] mudassar: check the folder rights [15:35] mintux: Sorry to hear that :( [15:36] Is ubuntu 9.04 faster 8.10? [15:36] rockman: i find it is. [15:36] cantoma: do i just pop in the live CD and reinstall, then? [15:36] rockman: Probably not. [15:36] ext4 may be helping a bit in my loads :) [15:36] But ubuntu 9.04 is big. [15:36] phreaknite: ok i don't know what is jaunty. Can you tell me what exactly the boot is telling you during boot process? === ernesto is now known as seraph1 [15:37] 9.04 is faster than 8.10 to me at least [15:37] terrestre: I installed the flash thing it didn't work still can't watch pandora [15:37] rockman: May be no difference at all, and if there is a difference, it would not be significant. [15:37] rockman: Hmm.. No its not. [15:37] i like the new dark theme 9.04 came with [15:37] pepperjack hey i got this message http://pastebin.com/m77dd3f0 [15:37] Dr_Willis, i have found the problem, it is /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.10/defaults/preferences/ubuntu-useragent.js [15:37] terrestre: Working on the restricted extras (eta 6 hrs) [15:37] however why is it executed [15:37] cantoma: sorry -- Jaunty is the latest version of Ubuntu. During the boot process on a normal boot it just hangs somewhere in the boot process [15:37] terrestre: get rid of gnome and use openbox you will see who is faster!! [15:37] terrestre: have you tried restarting firefox [15:37] rockman: If Ubuntu Jaunty is too big or too slow for your computer, I'm pretty sure you won't find any improvement on Vista in this area on the same hardware [15:37] Xubuntu 9.04 is 600MB.But Xubuntu 8.04 is 500MB. [15:37] cantoma: i will attempt a boot now and tell u just where it hangs [15:37] y ? [15:38] icewaterman: there is a ubuntu extension i recall for somthing in firefox. perhaps thats doing it. [15:38] cantoma: you think linux runs faster as an application in windows? [15:38] terrestre: Yes, if you want speed, change to lightweight window manager. [15:38] Jinxed553, read what Severity1 says [15:38] phreaknite: wait .. use a live cd and take the log. [15:38] Dr_Willis, that one is called ubufox and was the first thing to go when i installed ubuntu! [15:38] Severity1: yes [15:38] Dr_Willis: Is ext4 the main feture intrudced by 9.04? [15:38] I tried to restart firefox [15:38] llml_: i got this message press y ? http://pastebin.com/m77dd3f0 [15:38] cantoma: where can i find the log [15:38] llml_: its one of the newest/biggest/hyped features yes. [15:38] have you tried restarting your pc? [15:39] Yes. [15:39] Severity1: for a flash install... no [15:39] phreaknite: around /var/log/boot.log [15:39] what does ubufox do ? [15:39] sometimes i restart my pc first before i get help [15:39] and usually it does the trick [15:39] well everythings kinda buggy [15:39] it wont hurt to try [15:39] Jinxed553: i think windows sucks [15:40] When is born--ubuntu 9.10? [15:40] i remeber i had the same issue with my flash install [15:40] mintux: I guess pepperjack is watching on it. But I have to go now. It's getting late here [15:40] cantoma: thanks -- plz hold for the log file [15:40] i even tried installing swf and the other one [15:40] mintux: I'm at GMT +8 time zone. [15:40] rockman: that will be in october of this year--the ubuntu versions are YEAR.MONTH [15:40] hold on [15:40] llml_: ok [15:40] 肯定的您不会发现在景色的所有改善在同一hardwareIf轻松活泼的 [15:40] mintux: So good luck to you :) [15:40] i will try to recall what i did with my flas install problem [15:40] 肯定的您不会发现在景色的所有改善在同一hardwareIf轻松活泼的 [15:40] phreaknite: you can probably post it and get a log of help rather saying that you have a problem and not giving a clue about it [15:41] thanks [15:41] I see. [15:41] i got so frustrated back then coz i can't watch any animes [15:41] mintux: Hope pepperjack will help you figure it out :) [15:41] What is your pc? [15:41] cantoma: apologies -- i truely didn't even know how to get a log... [15:41] i like fvwm-crystal [15:41] My pc is 256MB RAM.

[15:43] Severity1 no... not yet [15:43] I am trying unsuccessfully to install the mesa drivers for my computer [15:44] and have you tried installing it with firefox closed [15:44] Severity1: I have 64 bit version of ubuntu [15:44] uhm [15:44] cantoma: uhm [15:44] cantoma: my log says "(Nothing has been logged yet)" [15:44] kdoafk: you're referring to graphics drivers, yet? [15:44] yes [15:44] Jinxed553, what is the page you want to see? [15:44] kdoafk: *yes? [15:44] phreaknite: there should be more than one file [15:45] I have ./compiled the files from the tar.gz 's [15:45] kdoafk: do you know what kind of graphics card you have? [15:45] intel [15:45] Jinxed553, let me check flash 10 in jaunty [15:45] cantoma: only 1 boot.log on my linux partition [15:45] the directions say to use make install but I keep getting errors [15:46] there is no install file [15:46] kdoafk: have you tried chmod-ing the file you wanna make install? [15:46] i am new to linux and command line [15:46] terrestre sounds good thanks [15:46] kdoafk: intel cards should be supported in ubuntu without additional drivers, though [15:46] cantoma: it may be dmesg.0 though... [15:47] there was some issue with some intel cards in 9.04 i recall.. but not seen any real info on it. My intelcard was not affected. :) === ursula_ is now known as Ursinha [15:47] I am trying to run graphics programs that ran on this machine when it was a windows machine but the graphics are all wonky now [15:47] search for chmod stuff over the net. that should help with your make-install [15:47] is there any way to bring the installed programs to the state they were 2 hours ago for example? there were a couple of programs installed in the last couple of hours that i don't want anymore, but i don't know exactly what programs that were (there was a pretty huge list) [15:47] lol sometimes I think linux distros should all adopt the slogan "Have you tried..." [15:47] phreaknite: in my case is /var/log/syslog but i am using debian not shore if they call it the same [15:48] kdoafk: are you running them in WINE or are they native linux programs? [15:48] One of them is Blender and the other is Houdini for linux [15:48] kdoafk: Depending on the program, you might have to sudo make install if you havent already [15:48] Jinxed553: and windows should use the logo 'have you prayed/paied....' :) [15:48] cantoma: well ubuntu is build on debian -- my syslogs as you list them are .gz files [15:49] kdoafk: And make sure you have build-essential installed :) [15:49] I tried sudo make install but there has to be a file called "install" for that to happen right? [15:49] phreaknite: the .gz are archived versions [15:49] kdoafk: no. [15:49] nobody here knows how can i use gpart ? [15:49] mintux: you mean 'gparted' ? [15:49] phreaknite: well my syslog just show me everything that went on boot last time [15:49] kdoafk: Try sudo apt-get install build-essential if you haven't already. [15:49] I have dealt with tar.gz files before but I have never heard of build-essentioal [15:49] Dr_Willis: no gpart [15:49] http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup [15:49] cantoma: thats it... [15:49] Dr_Willis: rewriting partition table [15:50] I will try that [15:50] shantzu: take a look at /var/log/dpkg.log - you'll most likely need to manually go through and dpkg --purge them [15:50] cantoma: ok ill post that file in my thread... [15:50] Dr_Willis: I would be more of a fan of "Why the #$@# did that happen... why is it going so slow.... where is my install disk" [15:50] Ahlee: ok, i'll have a look. thanks [15:50] kdoafk: can you try running "glxinfo|grep direct" and pasting the results? [15:50] phreaknite: wait actually is dmesg [15:50] one moment [15:51] phreaknite: sorry its not boot file or syslog is dmesg what you want from /var/log [15:51] phreaknite: can you see it?

[16:36] but i still can't read them even if i transfer them to my ntfs [16:36] openoffice has its own language pack afaik [16:36] usr13, may i point you at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFirewall and ask you to read the first part? [16:36] user13 : how can i set iptable rules [16:36] i can read the normally through windows.. [16:36] nickkontos, on a regular ubuntu? did you install language pack for your language? [16:36] s3r3n1t7: iptables is an administration tool for IPv4 packet filtering and NAT [16:37] nickkontos: filenaming in windows and linux are different so you get all this jumbled up names... you can open the files without problems right? just rename it. [16:37] Hi there! One of many annoying problems after update to Kubuntu Jaunty: I can't disable energy save features!!! I tried xset -s off, disabling all screensaver and energy save options, but with no user action (keyboard or mouse), my screen will turn black after a few minutes. Ideas, anyone? :-( [16:37] joe_: you might give this a try, it worked for me a while back: http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/10/ubuntu-firefox-flash-crash-this-fix.html [16:37] Exilant do you know the name for german lang= [16:37] s3r3n1t7: firestarter is a firewall application. [16:37] usr13, then what is your definition of a firewall? [16:37] will try [16:37] usr13, firestarter is a frontend to iptables. [16:38] Is it possible to run TeamFortress2 some how on Ubuntu? What software would I need to make that happen? [16:38] Wine, probably. [16:38] TX-Dan, Wine [16:38] TX-Dan, yes it should run with wine [16:38] yes, the problem is solved if I rename. But! when I manage to run a simple .exe file in wine, I got these unreadble characters all over the program, even when I type [16:39] And this is with EVERY greek .exe [16:39] nickkontos, Have you installed the font required by that program? [16:39] Nice [16:39] nickkontos, wine is an entirely different beast alltogether, it probably needs greek windows fonts. [16:39] He left, hah [16:39] ooooohhhhhh wine [16:39] hatter243, usser, looking into it thanks. [16:39] copy your greek fonts ttf stuff to your wine [16:40] is it possible to call a friend in google talk (pidgin) [16:40] TX-Dan, run it with -dxlevel 81 switch, if the perfomance is bad [16:40] siddhartha: that's not currently supported [16:40] siddhartha, pidgin does not support voice/video [16:40] what is telepathy [16:40] nickkontos, wine is an entirely different beast alltogether, it probably needs greek windows fonts. [16:40] s3r3n1t7: A firewall, (as far as linux is concerned), is a set of rules that blocks unwanted traffic from and to your PC. There are two types of firewalls; Firewall applications that runs on your PC to block traffic to and from that PC. Second type is a stand alone firewall, that is a separate device that you place between your PC and the untrusted network. [16:40] !info telepathy | siddhartha [16:40] siddhartha: Package telepathy does not exist in jaunty [16:41] =/ [16:41] s3r3n1t7: A firewall script is a firewall [16:41] usr13, so effectively iptables rules constitute a firewall. [16:41] should i install openoffice.org-l10n-de for openoffice 3.0 to be in German? [16:41] usr13, so iptables would be considered a firewall by that definition. [16:41] Hey guys, how to change the default application opening a php file for example ? [16:41] usr13, and since iptables comes with a default set of rules, that can only mean that iptables is a firewall [16:41] Everytime i use other program, it works one time only [16:42] rcmysoft: Probier's einfach, das Paket ist ja sicher nicht sehr groß [16:42] when doing net install or alternate install cd....what does the kernel targeted mean only drivers needed for the system [16:42] i was thinking that if i solve this problem in ubuntu then the problem in wine should fix itself... [16:42] i would like to know about telepathy and its uses [16:42] what is : leningradskaya.canonical.com.www ? [16:42] siddhartha: you could try installing the official Google Talk client using WINE, though [16:42] What is the default mail app? I am told root has mail (logged in as root) but am told no program is installed when running 'mail' [16:43] nickkontos, Have you installed the font required by that program? [16:43] Fallenou, russians man, they are taking over [16:43] i got this in my tcpdump -i tun0 [16:43] in my vpn [16:43] will it work ... [16:43] Anyone use 3 monitors in here? [16:43] Fallenou, thats one of the server, ubuntu repositories are hosted on [16:43] no, neither in ubuntu and wine [16:43] ooh ok :) [16:43] DjAngo23: nautilus controls this so just open file manager and right-click on file and basically open with and make default [16:43] siddhartha: Google suggests it might: http://ocaoimh.ie/2005/08/26/google-talk-on-linux/ [16:43] does anyone know how i can run a command over SSH so that even if i close the SSH connection the command keeps running [16:44] s3r3n1t7 usser It is safe to say that iptables rules constitute a firewall Yes. [16:44] lenswipe: yes [16:44] i thought i was spied by the KGB thx usser :p [16:44] but i dont know what kind of font it needs and how to install it [16:44] lenswipe, nohup command & [16:44] nickkontos, then greek programs will be unable to display the greek font, creating all sorts of wacky characters. You don't need to install it in Ubuntu, you need to install it in Wine === nick is now known as Guest55198 [16:44] i've googled a lot... [16:44] lenswipe: or if the command produces output could run it in screen. [16:44] pepperjack: I did that but can't find the option make default [16:44] i want to download an ISO image but i want to shift the load onto my headless ubuntu server and i want to have the ISO continue downloading even if i close the ssh connection [16:44] is there a pidgin plugin to mark myself offline to a specific buddy >.< [16:45] basically... [16:45] usr13, ==> Brack10: siddhartha iptables is not a firewall. <== now i'm confused [16:45] dooner how much time you are in this channel ? [16:45] WinterWeaver: try block :) [16:45] nickkontos, the problem is, there isn't any easy way to discover the font used by the program, you pretty much have to ask the writer of that program. Maybe #wine will know some generic Greek fonts [16:45] and when i install it in wine, will it still display wacky characters in ubuntu? [16:45] WinterWeaver: maybe you can try finding out in #pidgin [16:45] pepperjack: could i do waht i said above? [16:45] lenswipe: install screen. you can then detach it and come back to it later. [16:45] lenswipe, I dont want to block them entirely... just dont watn them to think I'm here [16:45] nickkontos, the .exe you're running is a windows program, it has nothing to do with ubuntu [16:45] good morning [16:45] thx sebsebseb, didn't know it had a chnnel O.o [16:46] dooner: i just want to have it run while im away tho [16:46] lenswipe: it will [16:46] DjAngo23: youre right... sorry im used to thunar when using a file manager. not sure about nautilus [16:46] lenswipe: !screen [16:46] are there any body be in this channel in 4- 5 hour ago and copy all text in channel ( with my last questions and links ) for me [16:46] dooner: i know but i want to run it over an ssh connection [16:46] ooohhh... i see! thanks hatter243! [16:46] please [16:46] WinterWeaver: np [16:46] lenswipe: yeah that would be my suggestion as well [16:46] nickkontos, Good luck! [16:46] if I have added the xorg-edgers repository (to try and see if the newer intel xorg driver helps with my stability problems) -- how do I revert to the non-xorg-edgers intel driver? [16:46] dooner: belive me where my linux box is connecting a screen would be a real arse [16:46] s3r3n1t7 usser iptables rules, when assembled correctly into a script can be used to protect from unwanted traffic and that type of protection is called firewalling your PC. A firewall is an application that does that for you. [16:46] lenswipe: screen is a program :) [16:46] i past a table of my partitions here before... in 3-4 hour ago [16:46] what s telepathu and its uses in ubuntu hardy [16:46] i was wondering if i could use wget and shove a & on the end [16:46] !screen [16:46] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [16:47] kl kl [16:47] nickkontos, linux filesystems use utf for filenames windows uses old style encodings where each language had its own encoding. renaming the files would force utf, for wine the program probably needs a font to display the characters it has nothing to do with encodings [16:47] how do i force ALL instances of my username to log out?? [16:47] is there a link checking software for website in ubuntu, preferable something in php or that can be run from cron job? [16:47] does the text's of this channel log anywhere ??? [16:47] i need log of #ubuntu in 4-5 hour ago [16:47] please somebody pastbin it for me [16:48] someone pls suggest me a good multi threaded download manager [16:48] dooner: do you know if i could use wget then shove an & on the end of it? [16:48] mintux I am here on and off, normally keep IRC running in background while @ the office. [16:48] usser utf? isnt that freebsd thing? or was it apple ox? [16:48] in ubuntu [16:48] usr13, thats semantics :) if you want to go further, iptables is not the one responsible for blocking the traffic, all traffic shaping is done by kernel and iptables is just a frontend [16:48] !log | mintux [16:48] mintux: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [16:48] does anybody know about using Wacom graphics tablets? Mine used to work back on version 7.10, but since, has a weird problem. the pointer movement works fine, but touching the tablet doesnt do anything. the tablet appears to know that its being tapped, just the box doesnt respond. [16:48] gartral, "pkill -KILL -u [username]" [16:48] s3r3n1t7: If you want an easy to use firewall application, install firestarter. If you are interested in building a firewall, download ipcop or smoothwall or monowall and burn a CD and make your own "stand-alone" firewall. [16:48] n8tuser, utf is a universal encoding nowadays, pretty much everyone uses it. [16:48] n8tuser, unicode [16:48] hatter243: sudo, yes? [16:48] gartral, unless you're killing yourself, yes [16:49] i am killing myself [16:49] dooner: do you know if i could use wget then shove an & on the end of it? [16:49] usser correct, i misread it as ufs [16:49] gartral, then you don't need sudo to kill your own processes [16:49] rofl [16:49] usr13, there's indeed 2 kinda of firewalls. Iptables is generally a backend for most of the firewalls used on ubuntu, and it can be used on its own, thus i consider iptables to be a firewall. Well let's end the discussion about this, we're goin offtopic. [16:49] I guess it worked [16:49] lenswipe, yes sure [16:49] uuser: so that would work? thanks :) [16:50] hi folks. i try to install 9.04 using ext4 and encryption within lvm. same like guidedd partitioning but ext4 instead of ext3. should i first create lvm and then within encryption partition or the other way: at first encryption container, then lvm and then the partitions? [16:50] lenswipe, dont forget nohup, otherwise wget is going to die as soon as you disconnect from the server [16:50] usser: You can call iptables a firewall if you want to, but it is missleading to tell people that iptables is a firewall because it just isn't. [16:50] uuser: how? [16:50] uuser: how do i use nohup? [16:50] what is the difference between ext3 and ext4 file system [16:51] lenswipe: man nohup [16:51] lenswipe: nohup wget url > /dev/null 2>&1 & I think should work. [16:51] siddhartha: Ext3 has been around for years and is rather stable. Ext4 has a few issues that are mentioned in the release notes. it checks the disk quicker and better with bigger files they say [16:51] !notes [16:51] lenswipe, ^ [16:51] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [16:51] Anyone with great knowledge with multi monitors/multi same brand video cards? [16:51] nothing much just might be the amount of address space may vary [16:51] siddhartha: see above for release notes link [16:52] lenswipe, you dont have to redirect the output if above command is hard to read, nohup wget http://google.com & should do [16:52] dooner: so i replace url with the URL of the ISO i want to download? [16:52] thanks === Torg_ is now known as |Torg| [16:52] lenswipe: correct (i don't use wget, so wasn't sure if it had output...) [16:52] is the new kernel isstable [16:52] lenswipe, it will create a file nohup.out to which all the output from wget will be redirected [16:52] uuser: i will be closing the SSH window tho, does it matter if i dont see the output of the command? [16:52] k [16:53] siddhartha: you could install your own kernel, but I woudn't really recommend doing so for distros such as Ubuntu, if you were using Gentoo for example, well then sure if you want [16:53] Hi all I have a problem upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 I pasted the error here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/173101/ [16:54] how can i install any kernel [16:54] siddhartha: just get the kernel updates when they are available for Ubuntu :) [16:54] siddhartha, by compiling your own [16:54] I was trying to install lirc and it went backnow I cant remove it and when i try to install anything I recieve: E:sub-process /usr/bun/dpkg returned error code (1) [16:54] 90 [16:54] siddhartha, unless you are an experienced user, keep with the default kernel [16:54] siddhartha: is there a reason you want a new kernel? is there a bug in the current one that is affecting you? [16:54] i would lke to nstall old kernel in ubuntu 9.04 [16:54] guys my linux install on a new laptop freezes w/o starting xorg... how can I switch off the progress screen so I can see how far it boots up and what is actually causing it to crash? [16:54] localgod11: could you paste the full output? [16:55] siddhartha: did you try to google it? [16:55] hey guys, ubuntu blocks ports by default, right? [16:55] tokyoahead: Try hitting F2 during boot, and it should display the normal console output during startup. [16:55] tokyoahead: at the boot menu, press F6 and a little line of text will show up [16:55] they changed to F6? [16:55] siddhartha: old kernel and 9.04 does not sound like they are going to play nice with each other. plus the old kernel will have bugs that a later one does not have [16:55] ook how do i get a GDM logon window from a xming client? [16:55] tokyoahead: edit the boot line when at the grub menu and remove "quiet" "splash" [16:55] 'll google it [16:55] mbeierl: did that already did not help [16:55] e1nh4nd3r: er, F6 is for the boot parameters, you can remove 'splash' and 'quiet' [16:55] sebsebseb: should be no big difference between compiling a kernel in gentoo and ubuntu -- just that more people do it when they have gentoo. [16:55] joaopinto: there is always space for learning [16:55] e1nh4nd3r: but maybe F2 boots verbosely and i just never knew it [16:56] jimcooncat: yeah [16:56] gartral, i'd really suggest you use freenx [16:56] Hi all I have a problem upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 I pasted the error here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/173101/ [16:56] : is the new kernel totally bug free [16:56] vasi: Ohhhh, my bad. :) F2 is just the key that enables the console display during progress-screen? [16:56] siddhartha: of course not [16:56] e1nh4nd3r: i actually have no idea off the top of my head what F2 does! [16:56] * mimor is dood [16:56] gartral, http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-windows.php [16:56] Will have to investigate... *notes* [16:57] cantoma, right, but compiling your own kernel is probably not the best place to start [16:57] http://pastebin.com/m7ef94f2f [16:57] siddhartha: is any big software totally no bugs? nope [16:57] joaopinto: i did it .. don't see many problems [16:57] e1nh4nd3r: vasi: mbeier: I tried to remove "quiet" from the boot line and hiut F2 and F6 but nothing changed. I see the ubuntu logo with the progress indicator moving from left to right and back and the na black screen comes and its stuck there [16:57] cantoma, how big is the resulting binary? [16:57] tokyoahead: you need to remove 'splash' as well [16:57] usser: its huge [16:58] * jimcooncat thinks that software with no bugs means someone's not testing it enough [16:58] vasi: there is no splash [16:58] cantoma, last time i did i ended up with 500mb file [16:58] localgod11: have you tried following the instructions, and reinstalling lirc? [16:58] yes [16:58] usser: get rid of modules [16:58] cantoma, ubuntu package is like 70mb [16:58] how can i update vlc in ubuntu 8.04 [16:58] tokyoahead: hmm, add 'nosplash' mayble? [16:58] cantoma, i did to the best of my knowledge :) [16:58] localgod11: so you ran 'apt-get install --reinstall lirc'? and what happened? [16:59] usser: if you add many modules will be huge .. if you just add them to be inline then its smaller [16:59] vasi: still recieve error code (1) [16:59] vasi that crashes it right away and reboots the machine :-) [16:59] tokyoahead: so much for my guess! [16:59] :-) [16:59] siddhartha, could you please read some documentation first ? You are just posrting a long sequence of questions, you really should read something to start with, like http://help.ubuntu.com [17:00] tokyoahead: Sounds to me like the build is boned. Did you just install or upgrade? [17:00] localgod11: on the reinstall you also get the same error? ugh...i'm stumped [17:00] i got nothing there to ugrade vlc in ubuntu 8.04, thats why i'm asking [17:00] e1nh4nd3r: I installed on a virgin drive with a newly downloeded CD === _ is now known as Guest48871 [17:00] Hmmm... does 8.10 work? [17:00] e1nh4nd3r: (vista is already installed however [17:01] I have the version 2.6.28.2 of my kernel and I want to patch it to 2.6.28.10.. but I got this message : "can't find file to patch at input line x".. what this message means and how can I solve this problem ? [17:01] Or rather, -did- it? [17:01] Hi all I have a problem upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 I pasted the error here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/173101/ [17:01] I was playing around with ndiswrapper (I was formerly using the default wifi stuff that comes with Jaunty) and think I've uninstalled my wifi driver. I can't use the default networking tool to connect to my wifi, and lshw indicates no driver is installed for my wifi card (says UNCLAIMED) - is there a way to revert back to the driver that comes with Ubuntu? [17:01] NOw i have some thing : my partition table lost . but i partition and data exists . i have these: 1-the (lost )partitions list http://tinypic.info/files/uz78xo5jmn5lg103uxen.png 2-lost partitions tables with details in fdisk http://pastebin.com/m59f80016 3-now the partition list changed to http://pastebin.com/m32c0cb32 and gparted is http://tinypic.info/files/9ngsva2va5bnfpysrpjs.png 5- in gpart i have this http://pastebin.com/m14c81f2b ||| now i would like [17:01] e1nh4nd3r: talking to me about 8.1? did not try it yet. the machine is brand-new [17:02] e1nh4nd3r: you recommend me to try and download it? [17:02] tokyoahead: I'm not an expert, but I would say if 8.10 works and 9.04 doesn't, maybe there's a different build/driver that changed between the old and new versions that is causing you problems. [17:02] e1nh4nd3r: hmm ok... let me try 8.1... thanks [17:03] \channel list [17:03] tokyoahead: 8.10 is better than 9.04 in certain ways even :) [17:03] Hi [17:03] devs: hi [17:03] tokyoahead: Might be able to narrow it down to a build/driver problem, and in which case you could find out what your video card/chip is and people might be able to help you solve that compile/config problem. [17:03] i have set up and ubuntu machine with two NIC [17:03] i need the LAN network to go through an external proxy [17:04] how can i allow all LAN users to get to a proxy server [17:04] for like http traffic or all traffic?

[17:08] glitsj16 i found it [17:09] i mean where is it located? [17:09] How can I remove all older kernels? [17:09] devs: if you make a mistake you could open your network up quite bad, speak to your network administrator and ask him how he would like it done [17:09] Hi, My USB mouse doesn't seem to work on my laptop [17:09] how would I get epsx or whatever it is rather then pcsx on v8.04?

[17:10] i have a question, X forwarding through ssh, on the machine i ssh to, X is not running, yet im able to run xterm through x-over-ssh, does it start an x server every time i run a single X application or how does it work? [17:10] l3dplatedlinux, does pcsx stands for Personal Computer Sex? [17:10] lorenzosu: just remove the kernel related packages like any other package, via apt/synaptic etc. [17:10] no [17:10] glitsj16: I can't! [17:10] Hi, me again. After exactly 20min without mouse or keyboard input (just measured the time) my ThinkPad monitor and my external monitor will turn off. It's just annoying, anyone has any idea how to fix this (Kubuntu Jaunty) ? [17:10] devs: if you make a mistake you could open your network up quite bad, speak to your network administrator and ask him how he would like it done [17:10] devs: there are changes that need to be made @ the network level to do what you want that have very little to do with linux. Unless the ubuntu box is your firewall and already inline with all traffic. But yes squid is an option to do what you want... [17:10] how do i get Kubuntu to accept firefox as my default browser? it refuses to use anything other than "Web browser" (i am on Kubuntu 9.04, which was originally Ubuntu 9.04, and some time ago when it was using Gnome my system seemed to of lost Firefox (it still works, i just need to create custom launchers for some reason)) [17:11] My USB mouse doesn't work, whhile this touch mouse on laptop works fine [17:11] hello, in jaunty I can't get to my windows shares anymore...

[17:31] systat: how did you install flash? [17:31] heh [17:31] systat: because adobe developers are lamers [17:31] I was trying to install lirc and something has gone very wrong now when I install anything i get pastebin.com/mef7fd51 [17:31] haha [17:31] lamers, haven't heard that one in a while [17:31] Pici- good idea. Next question: why is my HDMI listed as disconnected even though it's connected? If I boot, I get all teh console and startup splash, but the login screen enver comes up. [17:31] nyaa: i want to run ubuntu 1. without modifying my hard drive 2. with persistent data 3. in a way that works on macs [17:32] nyaa, I used sudo apt-get install flash-nonsomethingIcan'tremmemberwhat [17:32] usser: the info on the site is anchient [17:32] cq not configured in your xorg setup ? [17:32] Does linux make you impotent? [17:32] how do i set IP forwarding in Ubuntu [17:32] ikonia: shouldn't xorg autodetect all that stuff? [17:32] defs speak to your network admin, thats the first thing to do [17:33] is it possible to configure evolution to go through exchange OWA or must i use imap? [17:33] devs: they can tell you how they want it done, then you can implment it [17:33] systat: in what way is it slow? does it load slowly or does it play at the wrong speed? [17:33] CQ: should / sometimes doesn't [17:33] cosinostra: Yes. There's an option directly in Evolution for that, I believe. [17:33] Either that, or it might be in Thunderbird, I forget. [17:33] ikonia: xrandr shows the VGA with all correct modes, but also shows HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [17:33] CQ: what video card is it on ? [17:33] lorenzosu: some confusion here, your first paste mentions 2.6.27-11-generic, this refers to 2.6.27-7-generic ... cleaning out i suppose ... if you are sure that kernel version can be removed, you can try to remove the /var/lib/dpkg/info file mentioned on line 15 of your last paste [17:34] nyaa, it plays at wrong speed, it is specificaly noticable when I have a software mouse inside flash application, it works slow, like input lags 2 seconds [17:34] thanx e1nh4nd3r! i'll check it out [17:34] anyone know a real quick way to convert about 50 wmv audio files to mp3? [17:34] I make a circle with mouse, then it waits, and after 2 seconds make circle [17:34] cosinostra: I believe Thunderbird has the option to connect to OWA accounts, however, it does not work 100% correctly. [17:34] aah [17:35] ikonia: MSI G45M Motherboard (MS7521) so Intel G45 I guess [17:35] nyaa, I used this to install flash sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin === _Ranakah is now known as Ranakah [17:35] cosinostra: There are certain OAB functions and folder options that do not work. Thunderbird will not brows to sub-subfolders or check them for mail. [17:35] At least, they didn't on MY -owa- account. [17:35] how can i forward users frok LAN to WAN and to a proxy servcer [17:35] http://tigsource.com/articles/2009/05/12/a-message-to-tigs-from-teh-internets [17:35] nyaa, actually, is there some package called flash nonfree? [17:35] heh some functionality is better than none so no complaints from me :) === heinrich_ is now known as Guest63389 [17:35] or something like that? [17:35] cosinostra: So yeah, just keep that in mind. You use it at your own risk. :) [17:36] devs, forwarding is a function of iptables [17:36] i actually have taht flash [17:36] devs: speak to your network admins they can tell you what is possible on your network [17:36] ikonia: pastebin a Xorg.0.log and a Xorg.afilsafe.log? [17:36] hahaha thanks again man! [17:36] systat its flashplugin-nonfree === YaManicKill is now known as YaManicKill|away [17:36] CQ: interesting, the intel cards are normally quite good with detection [17:36] say, if a device has 3907648 blocks, that means it's like, 3.9GB right? [17:37] systat thats the one I use and it used to have issues but lately had been great for me personally. When you right click a flash window and go to settings, do you have hardware accelleration enabled, and does the way you don't have it set now work better? [17:38] ikonia: I tried to dpkg-reconfigure the xserver, but no change, my /etc/X11/xorg.conf is standard [17:38] mattgyver: have you tried loading those wmv files into soundconverter yet? [17:38] CQ: I'm trying to think if there was anything I had to do on mine, [17:38] xub: depends on teh blocksize [17:38] nope [17:38] xub try df -h (for --human-readable output) [17:39] nyaa, nope it works pretty much the same, with and without [17:39] hello, does anyone have any idea how to get tty's?

[17:40] systat: ok, you said you used apt-get install abode-something, I would try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [17:40] mattgyver: soundconverter supports everything gstreamer does, so if you have gstreamer plugins and w32codecs that should do the conversion smoothly [17:40] serverapt-get install flashplugin0nonfree [17:40] cq, ok, i'll try [17:40] systat you may want to remove your current one first if able [17:40] thanks glitsj16 :) [17:40] I mean, when I try to switch to them while in gnome, the screen has weird colors, and then no ttys [17:41] mattgyver: you're welcome, enjoy the music :) [17:41] usser: next question, what do I need to do to see a windows printer? same host, same setup... [17:41] nyaa, movies also lags, I use totem player [17:41] CQ, is it shared? [17:42] nyaa, could it be beucase I didn't installed right graphic card drivers? [17:42] usser: yep, all the windows amchines are using it [17:42] systat it could be, what graphics card do you have? [17:42] CQ, in your browser go to localhost:631 [17:42] can you help me find linux driver for RTL-8225, wireless card? [17:42] I have ATI x1250 [17:42] usser: smbtree shows it... I guess I could just try setting it up ? [17:42] CQ, and add a new printer. specify the name/address for it, and depending on the make/model it may or may not work [17:42] nyaa, there was some driver message pop up when I just installed ubuntu [17:43] usser: correction, smbtrere shows it now, after the other steps, it didn't show before [17:43] systat ok, so you used the ubuntu proprietary driver for it then [17:43] nyaa, it says accelerated ATI drivers [17:43] yes [17:43] anyone running jaunty had problems with virtual consoles? [17:43] systat I'm not sure if thats the right way for me to phrase it, but the one that came with ubuntu [17:43] hi how do i set IP forward from LAN to WAN and users connect to a HTTP proxy [17:43] usser: ok, cups setup is there... set it up there, or better from the KDW print setup? [17:43] when using wget -r i get an mkdir error that there is too many links and cannot create more dir. it seems like limit is around 40k subdir. however, i need to keep record of the URL. anyway to retain URL as the filename somehow with all the slashes and such escaped? so wget -r http://www.asdf.com/dir/here/ would yield www.asdf.com\dir\here.txt [17:44] http://pastebin.com/m5f94e708 .....what does the No CIDSupplement specified mean...theres alot of different ones there [17:44] nyaa, yes so should I install some other drivers, because everything worked fine on windows XP, flash, and movies [17:44] systat I'll look a few things up, I'm not all too familiar with ati cards, but try disabling the 3d driver and seeing if it runs better for flash/movies [17:44] can you help me find linux driver for RTL-8225, wireless card? [17:44] systat if it does, then it will definitely merit looking into other drivers [17:45] ihi [17:45] nyaa, so should I disable ATI accelerated graphic card driver? [17:45] CQ, it shouldnt matter, i prefer using cups since its a standard way to setup printer across all *nix systems, linux,bsd,mac osx [17:46] systat, if you run fglrxinfo in terminal what output do you get [17:46] nyaa, it says needs computer restart, do I need to restart it or? [17:46] systat for now yes, just to see what the result is on movies and flash. [17:46] systat yes, I'll still be here. [17:46] hi [17:46] hi. [17:46] chuck_ i get info that fglrxinfo is currently not installed [17:46] i want all LAN user connected to my ubuntu card to get access to Http Proxy [17:47] anyone know much about grub and wubi? I installed wubi then installed from the livecd and ever since i've been stuck with a 2nd grub menu when i choose windoze. [17:47] okay, nyaa, I havent' restarted my computer, and everything seems like it was [17:47] before [17:47] systat, then you do not have the ati proprietary driver installed [17:48] all users browsr the web via a HTTP proxy [17:48] john: yeah odd things can happen with Wubi, also for various reasons I woudn't really recommend it, except sometimes for trying Ubuntu [17:48] the proxy is an extenral sercer and not in the Ubuntu machienb [17:48] systat I'll let chuck take a stab at it he seems like he knows these better =) [17:48] john: I would suggest getting rid of Wubi, backing up any data you got in there first, if you got any [17:48] chuck_, nyaa, Okay ill restart my computer, then check if flash works better, chuck_ you'll tell me what I need to do? I am goingt orestart now [17:48] usser: cool, works, even though my exact printer type isn't there... [17:48] john: and doing a real partition install, it's not that hard [17:48] sebsebseb: wubi's gone [17:48] anybody here using a slingbox?? [17:48] yaris123456789: i believe wget has a --base=URL switch you can try, check "man wget" to make sure, has been a while since i needed something similar [17:48] systat, you need to look in either xorg log or xorg.conf file to see what driver is being loaded [17:48] hphubert, what system are you running? [17:48] systat I'll be here for a while, try his thing, then try restarting =) [17:48] CQ, was it HP [17:49] sebsebseb, i have done a real partition install [17:49] how do i install a .deb from console? [17:49] sebsebseb, on it now [17:49] usser: brother mfc 9880 ... using a mfc 9600 instead [17:49] john: ,but grub menu boots Windows? [17:49] sebsebseb, yeah [17:49] john: a second one? [17:49] gartral: sudo dpkg -i [17:49] sebsebseb, yeah - first menu is the one installed with this ubuntu off the live cd and 2nd is from the old wubi install [17:49] ok [17:50] gartral: make sure it isnt available in the repos first though. installing random deb files isnt the greatest idea [17:50] sebsebseb, when i choose winxp on the first it gives me a second choice [17:50] john: ok something didn't go right [17:50] sebsebseb, you're telling me! [17:50] CQ, you should be able to scan across the network too [17:50] john: you uninstalled wubi from inside Windows? [17:50] sebsebseb, yah [17:50] sebsebseb, just trying to find the 2nd grub.... it's probably in windows somewhere you think? [17:50] http://pastebin.com/m5f94e708 .....what does the No CIDSupplement specified mean...theres alot of different ones ther [17:50] usser: oh? how? that would be cool, even though I could live without it [17:50] sebsebseb, it's not in /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:50] john: ok pastebin your menu.list gksudo /boot/grub/menu.list [17:51] i need to allows all LAN users to proxy to a proxy servr [17:51] CQ, you have kooka installed? [17:51] usser: nope... [17:51] CQ, install it, it should detect the scanner automagically [17:51] Hi guys. how can I add the user www-data to a group? I tried editing /etc/group, but ignores the change [17:51] usser: apt-cache search kooka doesn't show anything ... [17:51] john: I have two ideas [17:52] CQ, apt-cache only searches for packages that you have installed in the past [17:52] Hi there chuck_ [17:52] CQ, sudo apt-get install kooka [17:52] nyaa, everythign seems to be even slower now [17:52] chuck_ can you tell me what to do now? [17:52] usser: first thing I tried... E: Couldn't find package kooka [17:52] sebsebseb, http://pastebin.com/d5b931eb6 [17:53] I have a few thousand images that I need to a processor intensive calculation on... I want to break up the job between multiple computers so it will go faster. I am about to code my own solution in python, but i'd hate to re-envent the wheel again... I need to send files for processing to each computer but not start too many processes on each computer... and have a jobserver collect the results and watch for dropped files or errors... it sound [17:53] standard problem. [17:53] I guess i am looking for a "general" version of distcc that can handle arbitrary tasks. [17:53] usser: see http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3103034.0 [17:53] CQ, oh kde4 and all that i guess they renamed it or replaced it [17:53] ccd: heh, I was about to pipe in, but I was thinking of gentoo...hang on. [17:54] systat I'll look one more thing up for now, what exact graphics card did you say it was again? [17:54] john: yeah that looks normal [17:54] Anyone, chuck_ nyaa [17:54] it is ATI x1250 [17:54] it is an integrated graphic card [17:54] systat one sec then [17:54] john: one of my ideas is out then, but the other is still in [17:54] systat, nyaa was helping you and seemed like he was leading you down the right path. [17:54] ok [17:54] also not sitting in front of an ubuntu box (at work, an os x box) so maybe someone else would know...would distcc be a variant? ccd is the one looking for the answer, btw [17:55] felipe_: sudo adduser www-data ... make sure that group exists before trying to add users to it [17:55] sebsebseb, what choo thinkin? [17:55] (also, I had a brainfart...sorry, nevermind, my brain shorted and thought 'ccache') [17:55] john: oh now I got another one as well. supergrub cd or whatever it was [17:55] chuck_ either way is fine with me, my goal is to help people, I didn't want to steal him if you knew more about ati cards than me, I'm generally nvidia and fairly intermediate in knowledge base I guess. [17:55] john: I never used that personally, but maybe that will fix it [17:55] glitsj16: thanks [17:56] sebsebseb, ok i'll give that a go - supergrub cd? [17:56] john: I was thinking if you have a Windows CD, let Windows fix the master boot record, and then re install Grub [17:56] ccd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28454 [17:56] sebsebseb, is there no easier way? the windows cd is buried under piles of junk in a forgotten cuboard somewher :) [17:56] Anyone knows how to fix virtual consoles in Jaunty? [17:57] systat I'm trying to find another driver for that card, but I want to again be sure since you said originally that you used adobe-flashplugin (or something similar), have you tried installing flashplugin-nonfree? or are you using a different flash plugin? [17:57] sebsebseb, doesn't windows have a grub file somewhere that wubi created? [17:57] sebsebseb, or did it alter something in the depths of windoze that i dare not awaken? [17:57] john: wubi hacks the windows boot loader, so Ubuntu/Grub can boot [17:57] nyaa, I have flashplugin-nonfree [17:58] and it performs bad [17:58] sebsebseb, ah! so i gets me a program that understands the windows boot loader and i'm set? [17:58] regeya: thanks... but that's about distcc, unfortunatly distcc (as far as I can tell) is only for launching compilers remotely... I bet it could be modified to do what I want... but I'm terrible at C. [17:58] nyaa, I agree completely agree with you did not want to be rude. [17:58] nyaa, same as when I watch movies, they are choppy [17:58] systat did youhave another flash plugin before you got this, or is this the first and only flash plugin that you've had? [17:58] systat, on what os? [17:58] john: yeah maybe you just got to edit the windows bootloader a bit [17:58] I had adobe-flashplugin but that didn't worked with firefox, so i removed it === nielsslot_ is now known as nielsslot [17:58] ccd: let me look backward [17:58] sebsebseb, thanks - i'll direct my line of enquiry that way [17:58] Ubuntu 8.04 [17:59] sudo apt-get install flashplugin installer or something like that [17:59] john: ,but Grub and the windows boot loader are both in your mbr [17:59] how do i forward all HTTP traffic from LAN to a proxy server [17:59] did you try geko plugin for firefox?

[17:59] i have ubuntu with two NIC [18:00] and and external proxy [18:00] ccd: you did ask about distcc, did you not? did you mean ccache...? [18:00] sebsebseb, oooh [18:00] all LAN HTTP must be to that proxy sercer [18:00] and i cant edit the browser setttinfs [18:00] systat, the plugin I use called gecko, works really well for flash and all. However, you still have to have flash plugin. [18:00] sebsebseb, so i need to edit that as well? [18:00] john: I think all you need to do is let Windows overwrite it and then re install grub, or try that supergrub cd which I have never used before [18:00] sebsebseb, is that different to /boot/grub ? === lo is now known as Waspe [18:00] can i use UNetbootin to install ubuntu server off a flashdisk?

[18:30] <|Ab3L|> hi [18:31] xirrin: after you have a drive totally unpartitioned (and totally empty like from a factory/low level format).. you normally use a tool like gparted. and it will ask to make a 'msdos label' for the drive. thats step 1 befor you can partition the drive [18:31] xirrin: you can 'zero' the drive with dd. and also need to remake the msdos label. (I think thats the term gparted uses) [18:31] sevodnya: I've don'e a bunch of research the last few days trying to figure it out and I just can't seem to get it to work no matter what I do. I've tried testdisk as well but couldn't seem to make it work. [18:32] anyone up? [18:32] Dr-Willis: what is DD? I've tried gparted a bunch with no success. I must not be doing something right :-/ [18:32] mneptok: sudo iptables -F just blew up synergy haha [18:32] I'm back, blew up my connection with iptables -F [18:33] xirrin: 'dd' is a datadump tool.

[18:35] dev_nul: and it'd be much better to install from a new cd [18:35] Dr_Willis: Windows XP [18:35] is there a program i need for this. [18:35] oops [18:35] dev_nul: you cannot jump to jaunty from gusty. you'll need to upgrade to one version above each time until jaunty. that's lots of work.

[18:36] mneptok: [18:36] IcemanV9: [18:36] bc: [18:36] Thanks for your help guys, I guess I must have opened every port in iptables or something. The connection is a go. [18:36] Myth`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:36] dev_nul: get the iso downloaded and burnt from someone else... otherwise you'll have to jump from one version to the next one, till jaunty [18:36] dev_nul: and that's really dirty [18:36] hello [18:37] dev_nul: you may have to upgrade one major version at a time: hardy then intrepid then jaunty [18:37] Dr_Willis: So then that would mean the next step I should be able to just go back in to the XP install disk and have it recognize the drive, or would I need to do something with gparted too? [18:37] does someone know what program i ned to make my own ubuntu how i want it? [18:37] ok. thank you [18:37] xirrin: have you tried removing all partitions with gparted, and then creating the partition during the XP install? [18:37] perlsyntax: Be more specific. [18:38] something like remastersys [18:38] sevodnya: Yes. Unfortunately to no success. My understanding is that none of the programs (XP install, gparted, etc) actually touch the very start of the drive, which is what Im guessing I screwed up when messing with the fstab file. [18:40] Xirrin: I don't want to interfere with the people helping you, but I sent you a dialogue with a guide for if you run out of other options. It worked for me when I killed ntldr with gparted and couldn't boot windows [18:40] xirrin: are you saying that you corrupted the gpt? === mdm is now known as |Torg| [18:41] Is there a system wide Graphical EQ available for Pulse Audio? [18:41] sevodnya: The gpt? [18:42] xirrin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table If you wipe that out or corrupt it, it's possible that XP might not be able to figure out what to do. [18:42] join/# [18:42] Myth`: I guess your forwarding got removed. what does this say? sudo iptables -L INPUT -n | grep -i policy [18:43] xirrin: i would dd the drive.. reboot, use gparted to make a partition table.. then partition the drive how you want with (or reboot after gparted makes the partition table and let xp do the partiioning) [18:43] bc: Chain input policy accepted. [18:43] Hi im wondering if it is possible to install ubuntu with out a Cd when u install dual with windows? [18:43] xirrin: thatdd command will TOTALLY erase the drive.. [18:43] xirrin: any typos and the wrong drive could get erased [18:43] Myth`: accepted or 'accept'? [18:44] bc: Accept* [18:44] Myth`: try sudo iptables -F INPUT [18:44] bc: Didn't echo anything back. [18:44] sevodnya: There's a very good chance I wrecked it. I was trying to figure out how to mount an NTFS drive in ubuntu and was following a walkthrough. Either the walkthrough or (more likely) I failed to do it right and I managed to kill all the windows partitions from booting or being recognized. Ubuntu reinstalled just fine, but ...it was a bad day :( [18:44] Myth`: try sshing from wind box [18:45] bc: Works. [18:45] hi - i am trying to instal some sensors software - al went fien but none of them are showing anywhere on desktop - any idea please? [18:45] Dr_Willis: I will give it a try, as I have nothing on the drive I need anymore. I did my backup before I started playing with the fstab file. I guess I learned my lesson to backup the fstab before you play with that too. [18:45] Myth`: so that fixed the problem right? or was there a different problem [18:46] xirrin: im not sure how you even altered teh fstab this way.. it pays to learn the basics i guess [18:46] bc: http://pastebin.com/m5956e935 [18:46] bc: Funny that there's a MANGLE argument, seems that's what I did to IPtables, I think I'm wide open haha [18:47] hi i would like to record audio that is streamed from a webpage... how can i do this in ubuntu... any ideas, programs welcome... [18:47] deadman: depends on how its being streamed. theree is the streamtuner, and streamripper commands/tools [18:47] Dr_Willis: I'll give you the link in just a second and you can tell me how dumb I was for attempting it :oP [18:47] Myth`: reload the fw.. if you're using ufw, `/etc/init.d/ufw restart` -- dont do this if you don't use ufw though [18:47] deadman: if its youtube or similar, just use online media ripping tools [18:48] Myth`: wasn't the original problem that ssh from windows didn't work? [18:48] tones, like? [18:48] Dr_Willis: This is the tutorial I tried to use, and obviously failed at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindowsfstab [18:49] deadman: "file2hd.com" or the firefox extension "videodownloadhelper" [18:49] Dr_Willis, its music streamed from a web player... on a site... [18:49] tones, thanks :) will try that [18:49] deadman: no problem :P [18:49] deadman: tht means very little to me. :) if they are uysing their own custome player.. it might be rather hard to grab [18:50] bc: I'm honestly not sure if I use UFW or not. I was not able to connect to SSH from any system except the one running the server. [18:50] Is there no kernel with xen support as dom0 for jaunty? [18:50] xirrin: you basically add a new line to your fstab file.. that shouldent be trashing any windows drives or anything else dangerous [18:50] Good evening! I installed ubuntu lately and now after I installed it from the CD, my CD-drive does not work. It does not matter what kind of CD I put in - it just does not show up. Any help? [18:50] Dr_Willis, yes they are using there own player [18:50] Myth`: I thought you said a sec ago that you could (now) ssh to the server from windows? [18:50] xirrin: such a task is a.. err.. well rather trivial thing. [18:50] bc: That is correct. [18:51] bc: What I pastebinned is what seemed to have fixed the issue. [18:51] hello! I have XkbdOptions "ctrl:nocaps" set in my xorg.conf, but it doesn't work since I upgraded to jaunty. I found a coment in xorg.conf about how HAL is used now. Can I give XkbOptions to HAL? [18:51] Myth`: yeah but you are now wide open [18:51] Dr_Willis: So it seems, but I guess its probably not a task to try and tackle the first day you install linux. :) [18:51] xirrin: it pays to learn the fundamentals [18:52] Myth`: you need to find out what firewall 'manager' you're using, then add a rule to allow ssh from the windows IP (or the local network) [18:52] bc: Right, I'm still very new to linux. By default does iptables lock every port out except the ones specified with accept input or whatever? [18:52] Myth`: just allow ssh in iptables as long as you're using port 22 [18:52] Dr_Willis: Indeed. Anyways, going to try the suggestion you gave me. Will let you know how it goes. [18:52] Myth`: I don't think so. It may depend on the default for whatever firewall manager you're running and its default rules. [18:52] bc: Any idea what comes pre-installed with ubuntu 9.04? [18:52] Myth`: like sudo ufw allow ssh [18:52] Myth`: let me poke around.. probably ufw [18:52] hello my sata are not recognised with asus p5q, i switched to AHCI but still 8.0.4 ubuntu does not recognise my hdd [18:52] felix__: try "dmesg | grep CD" and see what you can catch [18:53] bc: Yes I did sudo ufw and I got a response. [18:53] Myth`: ufw comes pre-installed with 9.04 [18:53] Myth`: looks like ufw [18:53] Is there an easy way to rename a user? [18:53] IcemanV9: after sudo ufw allow ssh it echoed - Skipping existing rule [18:53] Myth`: check the ufw help page on help.ubuntu.com (use search box at top right). [18:54] Myth`: it is there already. you can check it out by sudo ufw status [18:54] tones: [ 0.000000] ACPI: FACP 7FE93CDD, 00F4 (r3 INTEL CRESTLNE 6040000 ALAN 1) [18:54] tones: Just a oneliner. [18:55] Myth`: like bc said help page on ufw is very good.

[18:57] snupdc: I had a similar problem with a different board, and disabling IDE Bus Master in BIOS solved the problem. maybe it'll help in your case, I'm not sure. [18:57] snupdc: I had similar issue. On the motherboard CD there are RPM files which you can use alien to convert to DEB and install onto the live cd. From there it recognizes.

But after the new ubuntu has been released I decided to kill windows and only use ubuntu. And since I'm using a notebook it should be connected. [18:58] thanks bc, genil [18:58] snupdc: There are in fact two. One for the ICH10 and one for the Marvell [18:58] dmsuperman: yeah, i haven't used xcompmgr before, but compiz usually makes X use more, to about that much, at least on my box [18:58] What's the linux equivalent of netstumbler? [18:59] anybody familiar with xen and ubuntu 9.04 as the dom0? [18:59] sevodnya: compiz doesn't increase X's memory usage by that much for me, but yeah xcompmgr is very lightweight [18:59] sevodnya: I normally get 130MB for X === janne is now known as Skiessi [18:59] dmsuperman, no sensors found S: [19:00] How well does Gnash 0.8.5 work for everybody? I'm really sick of Flash devouring my CPU. [19:00] dmsuperman: i assume you're not running any 3d apps atm?

Anyone know why this happens? I don't want to use smbmount either. [19:00] sevodnya: Firefox is the heaviest app I'm running [19:00] felix__: maybe the hardware just isnt supported by the kernel yet. try find the specific device name and model, google is your freind :) [19:00] yancho: Run sensors-detect I think [19:00] yancho: As sudo [19:01] yancho: you might find temperature in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ [19:01] can aliases be run in "Run Application" (alt-f2)? [19:01] dmsuperman, No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them. [19:01] hi [19:01] is there a way to disable vino server? [19:01] dmsuperman: try installing xrestop and see if firefox is using a lot of pixmap mem, it does sometimes for me [19:02] tones: Can you point out a way to find out which kind of hardware I have? As I mentioned I'm using a notebook where everything was built in. [19:02] come faccio a chattare in ubuntu.it [19:02] francesco_cinier: /join #ubuntu-it [19:02] mun: I don't think so. aliases are a bash thing [19:02] IcemanV9, its an empt directory [19:02] mun: you can create a bash script which you can then run through 'run application' however === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [19:02] felix__: either flip the thing upside down and look at all the stickers or just google your make and model for online specs [19:03] bc can run application execute scripts? [19:03] mun: I don't use it, but I would imagine so [19:03] bc i see [19:03] tones: And how can it be, that I could install ubuntu via this drive, but now it is not recognized? [19:03] mun: make sure it's executable (man chmod) [19:03] bc yes sure [19:04] !chmod | mun [19:04] mun: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [19:04] yancho: interesting. i don't know what to say more. sorry. [19:04] felix__: that is odd.. perhaps not a kernel problem. but i cant help much longer i have been called away. [19:04] mun: the script may also need to be in your $PATH [19:04] sevodnya: The one using the most is gnome-terminal [19:04] IcemanV9, all folders are empty .. even battery etc [19:04] sevodnya: 14357K [19:05] tones: Ofc! Thank you very much anyway! :) [19:05] felix__: no problemo :) [19:05] yancho: is it installed completely?

[19:08] oh hell, ubuntu stopped supported xen [19:08] Does anyone know of a good media player that plays well with gnome-mounted shares on 9.04?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [19:29] nathan7: Again, you say any variation of the theme again, you'll be banned. [19:29] thanks dc, i ran detect but running - sensors still gives me no sensors found [19:29] Flannel: Have fun. [19:29] Flannel: I'm just here because I like to help people. [19:29] Flannel: I don't care. [19:30] yancho: hmm.. did you run sudo sensors-detect (with the sudo in front)? [19:30] Flannel, we are here to help and have a little fun [19:30] yes bc [19:30] nathan7,Hiemanshu: helping people generally doesn't involve ruining their machines. Please read the IRC guidelines if you're unsure what's kosher here. [19:30] any tips for a new ubuntu user? [19:30] yancho: what did sensors-detect say? [19:30] mint3, what OS's in your HD? [19:30] Flannel alrightie. thanx. i'll probably download another copy if that one didn't work . thanx for the help [19:30] Flannel, the talk was only between us [19:30] is it Windows and Linux? [19:30] rob0917, read the docs [19:31] Hi everbody. [19:31] Hiemanshu: then it should have been in a private query. [19:31] !documentation | rob0917 [19:31] rob0917: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [19:31] Hiemanshu: It was in a public channel. If you'd like to discuss policy further, I'd love to do it with you in #ubuntu-ops. No need to add more noise to this channel. [19:31] thanks [19:31] I just deleted an user account by mistake. Anybody knows how to reactivate that account? [19:31] How do i upgrade from hardy heron to Jaunty Jackalope? [19:31] good call dayo, vim looks OK [19:31] !upgrade > andrew___1 (andrew___1, see the private message from ubottu) [19:31] Flannel, its alright, wont do it again :) [19:32] andrew___1: You'll have to upgrade to 8.10 and then to 9.04, instructions are in the link ubottu just sent you [19:32] Hiemanshu: thank you [19:32] anyone can help with re installing grub? [19:32] bc : http://www.pastebin.ca/1423945 [19:32] Where can find livecd creator for ubuntu? [19:32] mint3, yes what is wrong? [19:32] perlsyntax, what exactly do you mean? [19:33] Hiemanshu - i got on this hard drive,2 partitions, vista and ubuntu [19:33] so i can make my own ubuntu cd [19:33] Hiemanshu - i am downloading windows 7 RC and intend to install it on here too . [19:33] withthe package i want on it. [19:33] !livecd [19:33] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [19:33] yes [19:33] i been told that grub will be killed when i install win 7 [19:33] perlsyntax: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [19:33] !grub | mint3 [19:33] Flannel, making jokes between each other and helping users are two things. [19:33] mint3: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [19:33] mint3, you can boot the ubuntu? [19:34] Flannel, i been reading that, thanks. [19:34] mint3: first link there are for restoring GRUB after windows eats it [19:34] mint3: windows will overwrite the existing MBR . thus removeing the grub menu. thats not quite the same as 'killing' :) [19:34] I not tried it yet mad3linux [19:34] Dr_Willis, you get the gist of things. [19:34] mint3, boot from live cd [19:34] I have an ubuntu box set up on the local network and when I ssh in and run the 'ls' command, the box loses internet and won't reconnect until I reboot. anyone seen this before? [19:34] mint3: its better to install windows first then ubuntu [19:34] yancho: the modules in the lines between 'cut here', check to see if lsmod shows them as being loaded. For example, `lsmod | grep i2c` [19:34] mint3: if you are installing windows to its own hard drive.. and linux on another.. you may want to unplug the linux drive. [19:34] thiebaude, i know [19:34] mint3, then do a grub-insatll /dev/sda [19:34] lakedenman: =0 [19:34] kewl [19:34] its all in 1 hard drive [19:35] i have 2 partitions right now. one for ubuntu and one for vista. [19:35] yancho: also check the others, like eeprom and w83627hf [19:35] nathan7: yeah, exactly [19:35] :D [19:35] mint3, if you can, the search for the file /boot/grub/menu.list [19:35] am in the process to installing Win 7 on a new partition. [19:35] Grub is the kind of tool. thats worth learning all about. [19:35] nathan7: Again, if you'd like to discuss it further, I'd be happy to discuss semantics in #ubuntu-ops. If you do it in public, it's public. Public malicious commands are not welcome, regardless of who they are directed towards or intended for. [19:35] yes they are there bc [19:35] nathan7, stop it [19:35] rutrow [19:35] Hiemanshu: ? [19:35] you would not want you a** kicked [19:35] bc eeprom and w83627f no [19:36] do it [19:36] nathan7, just help no fun [19:36] yancho: if they are indeed loaded, then you may have to google `lm-sensors` and your motherboard model to find out if the chip driver needs a force= argument to get it to load. [19:36] can somebody help me to enable mesa? [19:37] im in a live environment and ive got the following setup: http://yfrog.com/0kscreenshotdevsdagpartedp [19:37] how do i make the unallocated space a part of sda6? [19:37] !mesa | cemunal [19:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about mesa [19:37] yancho: e.g. rm ; modprobe force=x,xxxx [19:37] !/boot/grub/menu.lst [19:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:37] Hiemanshu, thanks :P [19:37] currently it doesnt seem like the sda6 wants to incorporate more space.... [19:37] omnen, use gparted to extend [19:37] let me chck bc [19:37] yancho: err, sorry, make that rmmod, not rm [19:37] =/ [19:38] cemunal, have heard of mesa, what is it really? [19:38] Hiemanshu: if you'd check the picture you'd known thats what im trying to do.... [19:38] !mesa [19:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about mesa [19:38] omnen: it could be because its part of a logical partition, insoide an extended.. Youmay need to grow sda4 first.. then resize sda6 [19:38] omnen, well the space is outside the extended partition [19:39] omnen: is theres some reason you are using such a complex layout? you really dont need your own /var and /boot much tehse days [19:39] so i grow sda first, then try? [19:39] omnen, you will have to delete the extended which you would not want [19:39] 1 gb for /var/ seems VERY small [19:39] omnen, you cannot [19:39] well basically its not my layoout (i would NEVER do it this way) [19:39] yancho: try `sudo modprobe eeprom` and `sudo modprobe w83627hf` as well, if you said they weren't loaded. [19:39] Dr_Willis, depends on the needs [19:39] someone know bout frets on fire and an error bout python? [19:39] Does anyone else have an issue with Nexuiz pro freezing? [19:40] mad3linux, try #python [19:40] but it is imperative that the unallocated space gets used by the sda6 [19:40] 1 gb for / also seems small. :) [19:40] how do i remove the proprietary nvidia drivers? [19:40] hi [19:40] omnen, its not, the exteneded partion cannot be done [19:40] need to play mp3 from a 9.04 live cd for testing [19:40] wont do. what do i need to install? [19:40] Dr_Willis, again the use factor steps in [19:40] ok now bc thanks works :)) [19:40] Hiemanshu, when I try to run then an error occured. [19:41] Dexter_F, gstreamer-plugins [19:41] is there a way to disable the detection and loading of the bttv module during a boot from the live cd to install? When the bttv module loads it locks the system up preventing me from installing (detects a Fusion3 Gold card). [19:41] question, my kernel update went bad how can i trigger it to do a full reinstall? [19:41] !info gstreamer-plugins | Dexter_F [19:41] Dexter_F: Package gstreamer-plugins does not exist in jaunty [19:41] something about python and GLX? [19:41] mad3linux, no idea [19:41] thanks alot dc!!! much apprecaetd [19:41] try #python [19:41] Hiemanshu: what i meant was that is absolutely neccessary for me that the sda6 gets all the unallocated space [19:41] thankx [19:41] Hiemanshu: in some way [19:42] =/ [19:42] yancho: great! make sure they are in /etc/modules as indicated by http://www.pastebin.ca/1423945 [19:42] :( [19:42] hey;] [19:42] omnen, you will need to delete the extended partiion not possible i think [19:42] alguien me puede ayudar con virtualbox === janne is now known as Skiessi [19:42] no consigo activar el usb he hecho todos los pasos [19:42] helloooo [19:42] Conchaman, hellooo [19:42] what's your problem telequito?

[19:45] !blacklist | GaveUp [19:45] GaveUp: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [19:45] <_Rha7_> Hi every1, I have 2 net interfaces, eth0 is external, with its default gateway, the second is internal eth1, and has it's own gateway, (both are set up static), when I add 'gateway 10.150.x.x' to eth1, I end up with two default gateways and ubuntu just gets messed up with external connections ... Ho can I fix it? [19:45] Hiemanshu: well as i notice, the extended thingy cant be resized, the sda6 cant be resized beyond the extended thing, im pretty much screwed... [19:45] Hiemanshu, ah, so search there ? [19:45] Lichte, you want to decrease the size of text? [19:45] Hiemanshu> Lichte, its a ubuntu support forum ?

[19:47] uit] [19:47] gotta leave guys bye [19:47] Hiemanshu, it only on the printed page that the text is too large to fit in the box and read [19:47] after u install the virtualbox, is created an archive of configuration [19:47] anyone else know? [19:47] i've just installed an apache server in my home machine (ubuntu), and it seems to work... how do i make it accesible from the outside, now? [19:48] martin29, u need an valid IP.... [19:48] http://www.frys.com/product/5926614?site=frysecampaign <--- hrmm...nice lappy [19:48] martin29: You'll need to set up port forwarding (80) on your router. That's generally easiest done with the server having a static IP (on the subnet) [19:48] martin29: Too many variables. But simple WAG would be port fwd port 80 to the internal machine assuming you are behind a NAT device. [19:49] what sound system does 9.04 live use by default? [19:49] i already did that... just like i had forwarded the other ports for bittorrent [19:49] how can i check? how disable? [19:49] dooner: so basically you're saying make that change, rebuild an iso and reburn it? [19:49] uh, disable pulse that is [19:49] martin29: then you should be OK. Just access your public IP on http and you should see it. [19:49] GaveUp: you mean it isn't installing? [19:49] yeah if they are in /etc/modules then you are good on the next boot [19:50] ah, nvm its pulse [19:50] yancho: yeah if they are in /etc/modules then you are good on the next boot [19:50] Flannel: i tried that, but i get my router's login page [19:50] dooner: right...hangs on booting the install cd [19:50] sssssssssss [19:51] dooner: i realize i could pull the card, install, blacklist, and replace the card but that's not exactly a great solution [19:51] martin29: That means its not forwarding properly (or... your router doesn't let you do that, which seems unlikely) [19:51] martin29: are you attemping to get to it from your PC? [19:51] dooner: yep [19:51] hi can someone help me figure out why when I activate compiz on 8.10 my screen crashes??? [19:51] _Rha7_: I'm not sure you need two default gateways. backup in case one fails? [19:52] dooner: should i try from a web proxy ? [19:52] martin29: that probably won't work. [19:52] Hi [19:52] I have problem === Wiktor is now known as Guest61772 [19:52] When I try to activate compiz driver I loose my screen? [19:52] Does anyone know how to get timestamps in Emesene [19:53] martin29: you can try from outside and see. [19:53] #ubuntu-it [19:53] has someone tried a Lexmark E330 with ubuntu. I tried a lot of drivers, but still not working.. [19:53] has anyone had this problem? [19:53] Becose sometimes when i using computer i cant click on anythink :/ Only keyboard work, and i can "fly" my cursor on the screen [19:53] GaveUp: yeah not elegant, but probably faster than rebuilding the iso [19:54] donner: i guess i should also allow port 80 in iptables, right? [19:54] martin29: from inside the router might be confused with the hair pinning. [19:54] WooTe [19:54] Enyone know how i can repair it ?? [19:54] martin29: you would need to if you are blocking it currently :) [19:54] dooner: yeah...was hoping there was an flag that could be passed on boot ... guess i could grab a debian minimal iso and install that then repoint apt to ubuntu and upgrade... [19:55] GaveUp: can't you just use the alternate CD? [19:55] dooner: i just did... is my computer like totally insecure right now? [19:56] GaveUp: yeah I not sure if you can do ti from the boot loader (never tried) [19:57] martin29: well if you run a webserver connected to the public internet there is some level of insecurity. need to make sure all the scripts etc are secure.. [19:57] GaveUp: What's wrong with using the alternate CD? [19:58] Why does Nexuiz Pro and OpenArena freeze up on me? [19:58] martin29: hitting your ip with a browser bring up php proxy, is that what you where looking to do?

[20:47] Lykkefeen: set the "number of kernels to show" variable.. [20:47] evanrmurphy: i personally pick the encrypted text and put it in a file, and then i use gpg --armor nameoffile ~ if it can be of any help [20:47] you're in luck too sloshy, because they just implemented gstreamer into gyache for additional support for v4l1/2 devices [20:47] Lykkefeen: I don't really remember what it's called.. but I can't imagine it would be hard to identify if you look through the menu.lst [20:48] boringpackets: nice! [20:48] Slart: Should I set it to 1 or is it using any weird notation? :) [20:48] Lykkefeen: of course you could also just uninstall the older kernels.. unless you really need tham [20:48] i had brasero installed (ubuntu 8.04) and have used it with no problems...i booted my box today and it is not installed anymore, and attempting to install it through repositories fails...can somone help me please? [20:48] Lykkefeen: nothing weird.. 1.. or perhaps 2.. just so you can select an earlier kernel if you really want to [20:48] SiDi: It looks like #mozilla is an invite-only channel, but I'll try your way. [20:48] How can I change sound settings for amarok in ubuntu? [20:49] Lykkefeen: don't forget to run "sudo update-grub" when you're finished.. or it won't stick [20:49] Slart: I never use old kernels - do you know how to uninstall them?

I can't get it to use ant as the jde-build-function. [20:53] Slart: Thanks for all the advices - just one quick one: is there any risk in deleting them? I never boot using the old kernels anyway... [20:54] Slart: Oh and should I use complete removal? I probably not going to install old kernels later... :) [20:54] Lykkefeen: nah.. as long as you have a working kernel installed there is no reason to keep the old ones [20:54] Lykkefeen: complete removal is good [20:54] Lykkefeen: you should have one backup kernel in case of the current kernel doesn't work [20:54] Lykkefeen: I don't think it will remove the grub entries if you just remove it normally [20:55] should i have audio on a 9.04 live cd? (only having one device visible, playback: null output (pulse) [20:55] or is it a sign audio isn't working on that computer with that kernel?

I was curious if Ubuntu had ever discussed having better organization of files (than the common linux layout)... I think it would be a lot better to have /apps// than /usr/lib/ /usr/bin/ and spread out across /var, etc. and /libs/ and for config files, ~/.config/ would be vastly better. I know this would be a fairly substantial change and some/many packages would need up [21:19] should it be a problem to play utube videos?

But, the autoremoval of old kernels is (apparently) something that was added recently. It's to keep them from cluttering and taking up too much room. I presume it has some rubrick of which were run successfully vs not. [21:21] does synaptic pckgm automatically remove redundant packages? [21:21] ma come faccio ad impostare direttamente ubuntu.it quando entro qui? [21:21] e.g. remove the old flash package if i insstall nonfree? [21:22] francesco_cinier: #ubuntu-it, you've been told this many times. [21:22] ciao [21:22] !it [21:22] Flannel: Yeah, you are right. -7 is still installed on this PC, and -11 was recommended to be removed... interesting [21:22] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

[21:23] WebcamWonder: I'm not sure how it makes that decision. It's an apt configuration thing as far as I'm aware.

Desktop icons in Ubuntu are bigger at the same resolution (1024 x 768) than in XP and both systems recognize the same video card and monitor. Why is this? And is there a way to make my icons smaller without changing the resolution?

Nor do you need to. Don't worry about redesigning the system. Ah, ok. Second life. [21:41] deniz: You can ssh, but remote desktop would be useless without gui [21:41] xiong: quoting from the webpage i linked to earlier, this might be able to at least get it out of the way: "On systems where multiple people use Second Life, you may wish to unpack Second Life, then have your root user move it to /opt and link /opt/path-to-Secondlife/secondlife to /usr/games. Any user who has access to play games should be able to run Second Life directly from the command line with secondlife. " [21:41] xiong: You just extracted them to that folder, and they all work, right? Didn't have to do anything else? [21:41] hmm I just kind of broke gnome (x crashes.. wildly... restarts X, and makes vitrual consoles inaccessible) with wine while playing theme hospital and alt+F4'ing the game a couple of times. KDE works though. Any ideas? [21:41] from my POV, inside the second life folder is the second life executable and a bunch of support files -- i consider the folder a unit [21:41] xiong: Yeah, moving that folder to /opt/ is the correct method. [21:42] Rebooting wont help [21:42] Flannel, i got good working first time -- this is not a technology issue, it's a way of doing things issue [21:42] xiong: Right. And we're saying, the correct place for that folder is /opt/foldername (so, /opt/secondlife or whatever) [21:43] hi, i have a stubborn program. i've been trying to uninstall movie player for the past 30 minutes. i seem to have deleted it but the icon stays on my desktop. im using ubuntu netbook remix so its weird. [21:43] oh, important question: is it possible to tweak volumne ABOVE 100% ? [21:43] Guest17447, only by way of ssh with X forwarding [21:43] Flannel, that is an explicit answer, which is what i want -- the reason i'm frustrated is that i've been getting so much of other comments [21:43] Guest17447, ive installed jaunty that way :) [21:43] the answer is: /opt [21:43] great [21:43] skellington: how did you uninstall it? [21:44] i used the ad/remove applications application [21:44] it says i don't have permissions to do the move! [21:44] it did not ask for my password; it just refused [21:44] by golly [21:44] xiong: that's because we had no idea what you were doing. Depending on the type of thing you were trying to do, there's a few places you could put it. ~/bin /usr/local/bin, etc. *not* /usr/share/applications/ that was an error on the part of that person. [21:44] xiong, the confusing thing is that there are many ways to fix this problem. It is best to only listen to one person at a time and that would be flannel [21:44] skellington:what does clicking on that desktop icon result to? [21:45] ManDay: Depends on the app. Some apps, like mplayer, provide software-based mixing which can go greater than 100% (although I have never been able to get it to work) [21:45] xiong: You'll need to use sudo if you were doing it in the terminal, sudo mv ~/Desktop/folder /opt/folder [21:45] xiong: when you installed it did you sudo it or asked you for a password??? [21:45] nothing, it doesnt even say "starting movie player" [21:45] deany, directvnc? [21:45] but its not really on my desktop, and i dont see an option to delete it [21:45] Flannel, i'm not in terminal; i'm in gnome file browser; what good is a GUI if you can't use it??? [21:46] Hi. I'd like to install postgresql-7.* on a Hardy machine -- I have universe and multiverse enabled but they only offer pg 8.x. Is there a maintained repo with pg 7.x? How do I find out? [21:46] Guest17447, not used it, heard of it.. [21:46] omg [21:46] Severity1, i don't want to ignore you but i think i have all i can do to follow flannel [21:46] xiong: No one said you couldn't use it. hit alt-f2, then type "gksu nautilus" then use the window that pops up to do the move. Be *extremely* careful with that window, and close it as soon as you're done. [21:46] and the spirit of opensource flutters away [21:46] deany, so is there an easy way to use my GUI comp to control a comp that has no GUI? like could u guide me? [21:46] Xinong i didnt see your question as i just got here but when i first downloaded second life it was a working folder also.. but if you want it integrated into your system like windoes does with program files you can get an installable copy from getdeb.com i also wanted to intergrate Cool viewer into my SL viewer and ran into the permissiond problem.. you have to tell nautilus to give you superuser permissions.. then you can copy and paste [21:46] or drag and drop all you want. see this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=256998 [21:46] its the netbook launcher. i call it the desktop [21:46] sorry [21:46] Hey === MadMax is now known as Guest58446 [21:46] How is everyone. Just testing 9.04 on Eee PC 900A. [21:46] It seems to be smooth, except for the common audio crackling issue. [21:47] flannel, that sounds nutty to me -- i have the file browser open right in front of me; i'm able to drag the target off the desktop into the folder window (/opt); i can't understand why this would be forbidden me [21:47] Guest17447, no GUI on the remote? well its ssh then.. [21:47] skellington: well,then you succesfully uninstalled movie player.i don't think desktop icons are a big issue as they are in windows,i understand that uninstalling programs inwindows also removes the desktop icons,in linux,no always. [21:47] Someone here know if there is any powerfull professionnal NFS server ( it needs to be very strong ) [21:47] ? [21:47] xiong: Because you, as a regular user, don't have permission to modify everything on your computer. It's a security thing. [21:47] skellington:*not always [21:47] because this is security [21:47] i'm about fed up with this root user nonsense -- it's my laptop, i should be able to do what i like [21:47] xiong, use windows then [21:47] xiong: No, that's why windows has so many problems. The fact that your user can't modify everything is a good thing. [21:48] aint it good? it even protects itself from you making any unecessary mistakes? ^^ [21:48] deany, i have never used windoz and never will [21:48] its not just that [21:48] yeah, but theres no option for me to remove the icon. im getting the worst of both worlds. clutter and not being able to use movie player(not that i want to) [21:48] XIONG see my above post about Second life and go here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=256998 [21:48] nmvictor, sorry it took so long i had to find the link I tried this to convert a couple files then gave up and used avidemux maybe you can figure it out http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg-doc.html [21:48] xiong:the root stuff is the reason your computer has stayed malware and virus free since you installed it, [21:48] it also helps prevent any malware from harming your computer [21:48] xiong, theres no need for a root user, you just sudo your way around everything you NEED to do.. simple [21:48] nautilus allows you to make any changes that normally needs root priviledge [21:48] Is there a way to run updatedb manually? [21:48] that is why linux it the most secure os [21:48] okay fine -- but whenever i want to do a sysadmin task i'm frustrated or driven to the terminal [21:48] WebcamWonder: sudo updatedb? [21:49] Funny how Vista has copies the root administrative prompts with UAC. [21:49] copied [21:49] xiong: No, you're not. I explained to you how to open a GUI with elevated permissions. [21:49] Flannel: Ahh, didn't know it required sudo privileges. Thanks [21:49] blarg! [21:49] then ride the leopard like harold and kumar... oh wait i think that was a cheetah [21:49] xiong: Just be aware, GUIs make it extremely easy to accidentally move/delete/modify/whatever things (accidentally drag the mouse, etc). So like I said, be *very* careful, and close it as soon as you're finished. [21:50] yep gksudo nautilus allows you to open a gui file browser with root prividges [21:50] im new to Ubuntu also.. this is my second day.. im sure i will get frustrated always having to do the superuser thing too.. but thats what i got cus i choose linux. [21:50] chuck_: avidemux,i have it installed but never used it,it does covert files too,thanks let me try it [21:50] but you only need to use sudo when your changing essential parts of the system [21:50] johnP, xiong: When you've got a fresh install, it seems like you end up using sudo all the time. But as time goes by, you'll use it less and less. [21:51] johnP: That is a good feature. [21:51] you see... with your normal login you can only edit files and manipulate files freely in the home directory and if you tried manipulating any other stuff it requires you a password or it will give you file permission denial stuff then you do sudo or gksudo nautilus [21:52] Has anyone in here tried installing the UbuntuStudio packages over an existing Ubuntu install? [21:52] i know, and i understand why linux does it.. its just its so forien to people whao are not used to it. [21:52] sudo, gksudo might be a inconvenience for a minute or two, but what's that compared to hours/days even weeks of frustration of having to reinstall, or worse loose data all together [21:52] anyone know where i can find some good conky config files that are pre-done [21:52] lose* [21:52] Hello, I'm running Ubuntu server 8.04 and I want to backup a directory to a CDR, is that possible from the command line [21:52] ? [21:52] flannel and others: maybe it's The Wrong Way To Do It but let me take a little side trip here and explain: i've been a mac os user for over 20 years -- ever since 1984 -- i don't mean the new mac os x (which is a fake mac gui on top of bsd); i mean the real original mac os, now sometimes called 'classic' [21:52] that way you wont mess up your installation and do the same mistakes wondouse users do to their installation. mess it up and then they complain [21:52] chuck_: thanks again,that tutorial could just be what ive been looking for,thanks so much [21:52] bonjour [21:52] Question: How stable is Ext4? [21:52] do you know how to start again device detection ? [21:52] sysdoc: Not personally (well, recently), but it is doable, yes. The wiki page explains the packages you need. [21:52] anyone know how to make a caption in openoffice without a border? I disabled that option in caption>options, but it has no effect [21:53] we do everything in mac os with a gui and we do all sysadmin tasks that way and if you screw it up, you are screwed, so you learn never to screw up sysadmin tasks [21:53] nmvictor, your welcome [21:53] the notion of all this root vs user login stuff just seems silly to me [21:53] Shleng: everything else on my box is ext3 except for my home directory, it is on ext4 so far it is sailing smooth and havent done any real benchmarks [21:53] it makes the system more secure [21:54] xiong, if you do every sysadmin task on a mac with a gui, you're doing system administration wrong [21:54] xiong:you got do with that man,we at linux are in love with it. [21:54] that's why mac guys are visually stimulated... they easily get excited over not so visually stimulating stuff [21:54] usser, there is *no* other way to do anything on a mac; there is no terminal or command line -- that's it [21:54] xiong, not everyone has commonsense to be so cautious, especially if they're coming from Windows [21:54] Hello, I'm running Ubuntu server 8.04 and I want to backup a directory to a CDR, is that possible from the command line? [21:54] xiong, on a mac osx?? really? [21:54] and from mac... [21:54] uh-hu [21:54] xiong: That is completly incorrect [21:55] Alright, we're heading off topic. [21:55] Severity1: isnt mac the next thing to windows in terms of .....you know what [21:55] usser, read over what i wrote again -- mac os, not os x [21:55] Flannel, I got the idea from the wiki page.. The kernel (rt) that it installs of course breaks x and I can deal with that. But my vmware-server will not allow me to reconfigure the setup for the new kernel. It hangs at shutting down the web service... [21:55] yep those are for the criPPled [21:55] can i download all of the gstreamer codecs at once somehow? === joss is now known as hejdur [21:55] i mean creepled [21:55] I wish Aptana didnt blow baby chunks on Linux [21:55] i'm not trying to 'sell' mac os here; i'm just explaining why everything you guys say is confusing and weird to my ears [21:55] personaly i think we should have a freeze on all graphical os's and be forced to all use DOS 6.22 :P 9at least ppl wouold learn no to depen on a gui) [21:55] Flannel, check that, I can't get the NV 173 driver to play well with that new kernel either [21:55] rtk126, maybe you should use backintime (i dont think that's in 8.04's repositories) [21:55] because this is the true music of OS [21:56] xiong: because OS-X is confusing and weird.. and now our Normal talk is confusing :) [21:56] sysdoc: You don't need to use the -rt kernel just to use studio. [21:56] have you fixed a car by pressing buttons and pulling drop down menus? NO! [21:56] you do it with passion [21:56] skellington: try apt-get install gstreamer* [21:56] you go under the hood [21:56] Dr_Willis, please note: NOT os x; i have been using mac os -- so-called 'classic' -- all these years [21:56] * eseven73 gets out the popcorn in preparation for this OS war [21:56] Severity1: and duct tape! [21:56] use the tools of your trade [21:56] Guest17447: I want to just burn the CD, is that what back in time does? [21:56] xiong: thts really really scary [21:56] i have a VPS server thats running gutsy, i can only connect via SSH and i want to upgrade it to jaunty, anyone know how? [21:57] well it would be nice if your screwdrivers have buttons [21:57] Flannel, That is what I was hoping for... [21:57] O.k. question #2 - Is there a quicktime 7 for linux with all its codecs without running the app under wine or a similar tool? [21:57] Dr_Willis, yah, i'm the last real mac os user left on the planet and i just quit for ubuntu -- this is a really scary switch [21:57] shipitkthx, Gutsy? Ouch, why is a server/VPS not running a LTS at least? [21:57] shipitkthx: I'd look at what the ubuntu site says about upgrading [21:57] johnP: i use mplayer and the codecs to play most every thing ive ever found [21:57] !upgrade |shipitkthx [21:57] shipitkthx: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [21:58] ever since i met LINUX in a cafe i never felt more in control of my computing [21:58] eseven73: the guy im renting from isn't very bright is my only explanation [21:58] point being, there is NO terminal or command line in mac os; there is no protection against doing something evil or stupid; you do all your sysadmin from the same 'seat' as you do anything else; it is a single-user environment always in supervisor mode [21:58] shipitkthx: be sure to use the command line version......if you're upgrading all the way from gutsy, you *should* be ok, if you do it step by step [21:58] so you learn not to make sysadmin mistakes -- or i did, at least [21:58] that's why if you want to migrate here you should start to learn to use em [21:59] its not really scary [21:59] they just removed the visually stimulating images [21:59] xiong, you're starting to troll, stop [21:59] and so i'm having a real hard time understanding all this linux stuff [21:59] natschil: i dont think it installed anything [21:59] natschil: my problem is do-release-upgrade doesnt work and i cant install it cuz i cant access the repositories [21:59] xiong: Right. This is different. It's safer, etc. If some program youre using has a vulnerability that allows arbitrary code execution, you're safe from that (at least, your system is), etc. [21:59] xiong then we are here to help. if you want us to [21:59] Man the web development tools on Linux are... ahem... [21:59] Severity1: Mind staying on topic? thanks [21:59] natschil: and yah i have to do command line because im upgrading over ssh [21:59] eseven73, no, please don't be that way -- i'm not promoting mac, i'm explaining my mindset and why it's difficult for me to understand you guys [22:00] Dr Willis i ask because on second Life i have a tv that plays streamin media, in windiws, only way i can get it to work is if i install quicktime.. on ubuntu, the streaming media is so choppy, its like wacthing a slide show instead of fluent video at 30 frames per second.. i was hoping QT would fix the broblem in ubuntu also. [22:00] xiong, ok well it's starting to sound like you're trash mouthing Linux [22:00] shipitkthx: yeah, I think ubuntu has a policy of removing repositories for outdates releases....but I think they're still hosted third party somewhere - command line isn't the problem here, the gui would fail too [22:00] eseven73, is that forbidden? are only linux fans permitted? [22:00] Flannel, sure but will we be on topic if the one who needs help has uhmmmm you know [22:00] xiong, there is a learning curve but after a while you will find it to be the best os around [22:00] xiong, it's offtopic for this channel [22:00] johnP: no idea on secondlife on linux. I doubt if installing quicktime in wine will affect a game like that. [22:00] I cannot seem to install the required things for drbl. I dont even think dhcp3-server is installed but when I do a sudo apt-get dhcp3-server it says "invalid operation dhcp3-server" Any suggestions? [22:00] eseven73, sorry, i'm not going to go down that road -- i'm here because i've made a decision to migrate to ubuntu, i'm sold [22:00] Severity1: The topic for this channel is Ubuntu support. Not comments regarding random other things. [22:01] xiong:dont worry man,every linux zealot had to start from somewhere,the good thing is once you are hooked,you wont look back [22:01] natschil, shipitkthx: it's not third party: old-releases.ubuntu.com [22:01] Yes i know.. thats why i asked if there was a regulat quicktime for linux. [22:01] flannel, thank you [22:01] johnP: nope. Apple dont do that sort of stuff. [22:01] Flannel: sorry, thought I read that ubuntu didn't maintain old repos [22:01] there is no going back, i don't imagine i'm going back, i'm not here to sell macs, i'm here to bend this new ubuntu laptop into some sort of shape with which i can live [22:01] well shame on Apple. [22:01] johnp, i would just download mplayer or vlc [22:01] hmmmmmm, how can you give support for a problem if he has the benefactor has issues with the terminal [22:02] skellington: yeah, I think there are some gstreamer plugins that conflict [22:02] at least we lead him to the right way [22:02] i will try more codecs.. perhaps that will help. [22:02] natschil: "maintain"-- we keep them around (for archival purposes, the ISOs too, in case you wanted to go see what Warty was like, etc). But they aren't changed, no updates, etc. [22:02] skellington: I just tried it myself [22:02] does ayone uses a DVB fullfeatured card ? [22:03] oh [22:03] Question #3 - please answer if you have actually done this, not from what you have read. .. I want to back up my ubuntu as an image file so I can restore at a later time, just like I do in Norton Ghost for windows. But i need to have the ability to restore the image onto a larger hard drive. What good tool should I use for this purpose? [22:03] Flannel: btw, how long is hardy still maintained? I though it was strange that ubuntu would completely get rid of all those repos too, but it seems it isn't the case [22:03] i think i screwed something up. [22:03] okay, so while you all may think it foolish, reckless, or unnecessary, can i simply login as root, do my file moving in the file browser, then logout as root? [22:03] skellington, whats that [22:03] well thanks. [22:03] johnP: gparted is doing well [22:03] natschil: Hardy is LTS. So it's supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 on the server (as opposed to the non-LTS which is 18 months) [22:03] i don't see any way from the login/logout menu to switch to any other user, let alone root [22:03] xiong, well yes you can [22:03] xiong: thats how i normally do it. or use 'sudo mc' [22:04] does rhythmbox or banshee have cd ripping built into it? I used to use cdjuicer on my old suse system, but after coming ubuntu, I am willing to try alternatives. [22:04] xiong: Erm... You can. But, you don't need to. Just do this: alt-f2 `gksu nautilus`, then cloes the window when you're done. [22:04] xiong: the thing to rember is always close out the root terminals/apps as soon as you are done.. just in case [22:04] Dr_Willis, sorry, but i really do intend to avoid terminal [22:04] Flannel: where is the line between the "desktop" packages that ubuntu maintains, and the "server" packages that it doesn't? [22:04] sudo command allows you to do root priviledged stuff [22:04] yes bu i have read that gparted does no resize partitions.. i would need that cus i wan o reinstall the ubuntu on another drive that is larger and i want to use the whole drive. [22:04] xiong: That window will be a "root window" and then you'll close it when you're done. [22:04] xiong: there's no terminal. Less typing than the root stuff, etc. [22:04] johnP: gparted is doing well, however I think it will not resize the full extended partition, you will have to recreate an extended partition I guess, then copy each partition with copy paste. and but grub back [22:04] How do you add runtime variables to ntop in ubuntu? [22:04] Flannel, i *really* dislike typing commands on a command line -- i absolutely worship at the feet of the nameless guy back at parc who invented the mouse [22:05] xiong: i would Not suggest running nautilus as root.. that can cause.. issues.. learn the terminal and try mc.. its better file manager then the gui ones (well it IS a gui one) just a 2 pane text based gui [22:05] is it possible to have an animated gif on your desktop [22:05] xiong, you would have to go to system/login window/security and check allow local system administrator login [22:05] terminal is always better [22:05] mirak thats not practicle for me to do.. so it looks like gparted is not for me. [22:05] Hello, i am trying to install reconstructor but the message is here in pastebin [22:05] Hello :) [22:05] dolo: its possible to have an animated desktop on your desktop [22:05] xiong: Alright. Well, there's no way for you to log in with root without doing terminal commands, so... no. [22:05] i only not use it if im feeling lazy [22:05] http://pastebin.com/f4b19913f [22:05] xiong, yes you can [22:05] xiong: of course once you get the few rooty things done you need to do.. i rarely ever need to be root any more after the first day of setup [22:05] Flannel: sorry, i mixed up "desktop" and "server" , I meant which packages ("desktop") does ubunu stop maintaing after three years? [22:05] xiong: There *is* a package you can install which will give you admin nautilus privledges. [22:05] flannel: thank you, updates working again [22:05] Can anyone tell me why my volume reverts to 0 every time I shut down my computer? [22:05] do you think it is recomended use in this new ubuntu version ext4 or bether keep whith ext3 to have bether stability? [22:06] johnP: there is not better [22:06] pepperjack: I just wanted a lil animated gif in the corner [22:06] xiong: but again, as someone else said, you're being extremely stubborn, and are starting to look like a troll. [22:06] hi , could i upgrade gnome in hardy ? [22:06] xiong:root is not really a fully configured account as you think,its more of a virtual,lets just say its like a top level position with unlimited privileges in a linux system which a system admin can acquire and use for system administration. [22:06] I've been asked to "figure out what driver you're using" in reference to my wireless card.....how might one go about doing that? [22:06] mirak; im also looking at clonezilla.. have you tried it? [22:07] Brack10: lsmod lists loaded modules/drivers [22:07] xiong: typing (or hell, copy/pasting) 13 characters isn't exactly stressful, considering how much typing you're willing to do in IRC [22:07] i hope i haven't stumbled into a well of groupthink -- stubborn is not a bad way to be; i retain clarity of purpose -- i'm not here to sell you on my way of doing or thinking, just looking for advice [22:07] xiong: do you have severe carpal tunnel or something worse, arthritis of the fingers? [22:07] Brack10: it will be a fairly long list though in ubuntu.. [22:07] i recall years ago setting up the root users 'theme/colors' differently so any gui apps ran by root would be BRIGHT red.. i wonder if thats easially doable now [22:07] <_Rha7_> joemac1, alsamixer, set the volumes as desired, and alsactl store [22:07] johnP: no, I don't know this one. anyway I think it's acceptable to let you recreate the logical extended volume, [22:07] nmvictor: I wouldn't quite say that, root _is_ an account as well [22:07] thank god [22:07] actually even if you sell that no one in here would buy [22:08] johnP: I don't feel increasing proportionnaly is right [22:08] and he left the building [22:08] johnP: not bad either, but you can tune a bit [22:08] I dont think kicking xiong was a wise thing to do [22:09] <_Rha7_> Can anyone tell me why my volume reverts to 0 every time I shut down my computer? <== Although if you're literal, it is down to 0, cuz, well, when you shut down your computer, it is 'off' [22:09] Dr_Willis: starting gnome-appearance-settings (I think it's called that) as root should work, and then you can create your red theme...with me, I notice root apps because they don't use the standard gtk theme, which makes them stand out [22:10] natschil: i think i tried that once.. and you can change the COLORS but i dont think you can the theme.. but some themes wont let you change colors.. [22:10] natschil: or could change window decor.. lets try it and see. :) [22:10] hello [22:10] _Rha7_: thanks , I will see what happen when I reboot. Got some funny messages from the terminal but will see how we go. [22:10] http://pastebin.com/f4b19913f [22:10] I just wanted something as easy as norton ghose where i would not have to use tons of different tools to get the job done.. as it is now, i have to run any clone program from a disk cus the linux kernal cant be cloned while its in uses.. i dont have to worry about this extra step in windows with norton ghost, and since i am alreading addin this extra step in linux, i want to keep the use of lots of other tools out of the job. [22:11] Dr_Willis: I'm sure you can, as you can change everything between two different accounts [22:11] natschil: its an account but not fully configure as the other accounts really,have you ever cd /root ,the only directory resent is Desktop.can you access root through gdm?hope you got what i meant [22:11] while installing from repository, i get this message [22:11] could you help me [22:11] natschil: i was thinkign the borders were still shown by the wm.. but let me try :) [22:11] nmvictor: I get your point, but you *can* access root in gdm, it's turned off in default [22:11] i think its time to shoot another typist./ [22:11] Hi all. had a fresh install forced upon me (don't ask). My machine has two system fans on the cpus which are meant to cool the entire box. The power supply gets very hot and has failed on me a couple of times before. I had spent a good bit of time configuring the fans to run at a higher speed back when I first installed Hoary. [22:12] It was working fine through the last two upgrades. [22:12] natschill:ok [22:12] !root |nmvictor [22:12] nmvictor: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:12] johnP: to change desktop icon size: open any folder, go to Edit > Preferences > Icon View Defaults > Default zoom level [22:12] lysdexia: this is an arch document but the use of pwconfig should be compatable with ubuntu and it should be in the repos http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_speed_control [22:13] Ah pwconfig. [22:13] Oh cool.. thanks for comming through for my Sevodnya.. this is just my 2nd day with linux. [22:13] Half of the battle is remembering the abrvtd-nm. [22:13] <_Rha7_> lysdexia, Ah confpwig [22:13] Dr_Willis: I think borders are shown by the wm, but if you really wanted to, I'm sure you could somehow setup something like compiz to change all borders of windows run by root to be red :) [22:13] Thanks pepperjack. [22:13] yep [22:14] nmvictor: in most other linux distros (as far as I know), you can use the root acount normally, but ubuntu does make it a sort of pseudo-account, as it disables its password [22:14] how can i extract a rar file [22:14] !rar [22:14] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [22:15] natschil: ok ran gksu gnome-appearance-properties - selected high contrast theme. :) [22:15] natshill:i got you bro,long time ago.hope you got me too [22:15] it's like you nedd to reauthenticate yourself even if you have logged in as root [22:15] natschil: dident seem to take effect. :( [22:16] so that even if you left your machine on for 2 minutes and some saboteur sneaks up and messes your system he will fail unless he knows your sudo password [22:17] any place i can share scripts that i think might be useful? [22:17] i dont need a root password to damage a linux using the hammer to the hard drive method. ( im being silly, i;; shut up :-0 [22:18] Dr_Willis: not sure whether it makes a difference, but you could try sudo gnome-appearance-properties [22:18] (for linux, in bash) [22:18] Hey guys, up until a few days ago I used integrate ATI graphics on my pc, but I recently bought an ATI Radeon HD card. I put it in my pc and it worked fine on my main ubuntu user. However on my other limited account the graphics are off.

[23:17] cemunal: I'm not certain, but i think that card is very limited in it's capabilities. You /var/log/Xorg.0.log file should have more details [23:17] Has somebody tried compilling the 2.6.30 kernel and using it in jaunty? I'm doing this now [23:17] Hey Gang - I can't get my system to complete the boot after a raid1 install (/ on md0). Ideas?

[23:19] dtchen: didn't notice them xD [23:19] Flannel: i tryed that. I get a pop up that ses that i need to log in to root [23:19] instead of my monitor going off it blinks "no signal" [23:19] xirrin: no clue. === IchLiebeSarah is now known as Tea === Tea is now known as VillaVampiria [23:20] <[1]kaffien> i know how to install it i just don't know how to 'activate' / use it [23:20] * Tecna growls [23:20] Flannel: Oh sry. its not when im installing it. Its when im trying to run the Gparted [23:20] how do i set persions so a user can upload and download to there foles ie /home/user and /home/user/public_html [23:20] jac0b: Sounds like Jaunty is doing fine. I think you're looking for blank screensaver? [23:20] xirrin: the deb gui installer is probably borked somehow [23:20] VillaVampiria, liebst du nicht mehr Sahra? [23:20] does anybody know how to use mesa drivers with nvidia riva tnt2 under ubuntu 9.04? [23:20] But I'm really not familiar with the GUI side of things [23:21] Flannel: Root privileges are required for running GParted [23:21] hello [23:21] Dominoeffekt: Just hit the menu item, it should ask for your password. [23:21] no I have the space screensaver but when it is supposed to turn off the monitor it blinks no signal and doesn't turn off [23:21] nrg: whats up [23:21] Dominoeffekt: If not, use this: gksu gparted [23:21] it worked in hardy [23:22] <``myforwik> Hello, I am using NVIDIA Accelerated driver version 180 on Ubuntu 9.04 32bit, I have a 9800GT video card.

[23:22] Flannel: thaks mate [23:22] i have a question about gnome-volume-manager on hardy [23:22] Flannel: Do u know anything about Gparted? [23:22] Dominoeffekt: you'd be better off asking your real question to the channel. Someone will know the answer. [23:22] sometimes it will turn off the monitor and sometimes it doesn't [23:23] when i start g-v-m, it exits immediately with a exit code of '0' [23:23] Flannel: ok sry :P [23:23] "It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first." Yeah that should make my upgrade interesting. [23:23] :q [23:23] exit [23:23] i am trying to run it with the '-n' switch to keep it in the foreground [23:23] jac0b: Jaunty can't turn off the monitor. That's physical hardware. Monitor blinks no signal because Jaunty did what it should, standby, I suppose. [23:24] well how come it would go off in hardy but in jaunty it just blinks no signal [23:24] Im wondering about Gparted. I have Dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. I need to resize the partitions. [23:24] is it safe to "take" space from the windows partition to the ubuntu partition? I do not want to damage my windows [23:24] what is the name of xfce settings manager program? I can't log into xfce for some reason it keeps crashing and preventing log on, so in kde I was going to try to open the xfce settings and change something [23:25] Jaunty don't blink "no signal" -- That's your monitor. It was designed to do that. [23:25] So what's the procedure for upgrading from a gutsy system with broken packages? [23:25] what is the best irc (text mode) in ubuntu ? [23:25] Radic: irssi. [23:25] !best [23:25] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:26] thx darxus [23:26] ikonia: lp worked super good, thanks gotta run [23:26] Has anyone here heard about the bug where Ubuntu won't detect a Rockbox device? [23:26] Darxus: switch to old-releases.ubuntu.com, then do a full update (to be up to date with Gutsy) then upgrade.

[23:31] exactly! [23:31] whoitishhello: do you want him/her to have access to the lan or completely turn off networking? [23:32] No lan or internet access [23:32] just preinstalled programs === VonGuard is now known as PuppyCock [23:33] also looking for a good writing program for a eight year old! [23:33] Dominoeffekt: in principle it is safe to resize partitions, but there's no substitute for having a full backup in case something goes wrong [23:33] whoitishhello: Something for you? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843510 [23:33] I copied a jaunty sources.list over the one I had for gutsy and am running aptitude install to fix the broken packages. It's doing all kinds of crazy stuff. :( [23:34] whoitishhello: hmm not sure, might be enough to remove him from dialup, or does that just work for modem connections? [23:34] Darxus: With the jaunty lists? That is *bad* [23:34] Behind a router [23:34] WebcamWonder: What are my options? Nothing else will work since there are no gutsy archives online anymore. [23:34] Will bookmark link thanks! [23:35] Darxus: What were the broken packages? [23:35] Hi all. [23:35] What are some ways of wiping disks before selling or giving them away (under linux)?

[23:36] SoylentYellow: True, unless you are selling it to DoD, for which you might want to zero 40 times [23:36] SoylentYellow: yes [23:36] hi$ [23:36] anyone here sucessfully used PDFShuffler?

Any ideas? [23:37] Ok thanks for the info. [23:37] I'm selling several drives on ebay so I needed some info. [23:37] gmathews: probly have to change your location settings to south africa [23:37] Darxus: hmm... But be sure to run the upgrade scripts after, and do a "real" upgrade [23:37] Guess I could unplug the cat5 cable... quick and easy untill he figures it out. haha Thanks everyone have to run [23:37] is it possible to make wget output file so that the URL is retained somehow and no sub directories are created ? [23:37] WebcamWonder: That's my plan, thanks. [23:38] How usable is Gnash at this point? Is it at the point where it can replace Flash? [23:38] yaris123456789: Yes :P [23:38] I've got a weird situation with sshfs and fstab. will be grateful for any help. I've configured the mounting via the fstab. all seems to be well, except that my regular user can't access anything below the mount point (permission denied). this is weird, because "sudo stat" shows my user/group as owner === Cueball|2 is now known as Cueball [23:39] E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libc6 [23:39] A package failed to install.

[23:48] wasutton3: you can try openvpn or freeswan [23:48] jeiworth: i tried freeswan but it doesnt appear to want to install [23:49] wasutton3: hmm iirc freeswan is pretty dead, have you tried openswan? [23:50] jeiworth: that causes all sorts of problems for me [23:50] does anyone know a good program for converting .aiff files to .mp3? [23:50] wasutton3: ah yes, openswan is also oficially availiable through ubuntu repos [23:50] jeiworth: even when installing from the repos [23:51] wasutton3: hmm i read various articles that ipsec is pretty complex and difficult to implement correctly in linux, especially if you dont have any experience with vpn networks [23:51] yea [23:51] <_Rha7_> jeiworth, and even if you do have exp. [23:52] jeiworth, openvpn setup is pretty straightforward [23:52] myself i'm running openvpn, which runs great actually, only thing is that the client users need admin rights on all operating systems, linux, windows and mac due to networking issues [23:52] _Rha7_: hehe [23:53] hello guys, has anyone here used ubuntu with the Radeon HD 4830 512MB video card? I have a problem that when I boot ubuntu, the screen goes totally pixelated and unreadable. It worked with the default drivers, however those drivers weren't good for games, so I went and added ATI catalyst control center to see if that would solve the problem, but once I rebooted it became that way, :\ [23:53] Meh, it would've been nice if I had read I can only upgrade to jaunty from Hardy. [23:53] never tried ipsec since i never found a good howto to start off with so i stuck with openvpn, have done 3 installations so far and its ok, i am missing a (web)gui for managing and generating keys and certificates, though [23:53] so my question is, how do I get rid of the stuff I installed from the shell?

[23:58] jeiworth, There is a remote desktop viewer ... but not sharer [23:58] trying x11vnc [23:59] x11vnc so it's mirrored all the time like screenx ? [23:59] i don't get it [23:59] Whitor: hmm strange, i thought ubuntu came with one as well, kubuntu sure does.. maybe its located somewhere else [23:59] I don't know about screenx [23:59] screenx is a terminal based viewer via ssh to another host
