[00:14] how do i change the "visual effects"? [00:15] Flannel: It wants user file sharing or something tuned on and drops back to the user that ran it. [00:15] FFForever: Alright. So, what you need to do is be fully up to date (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) -- if that installs a new kernel [00:15] go to apperance and then effects tab [00:15] Dr_Willis: That would work too :). [00:15] K`zan: press alt and F2 and type gksu nautilus [00:15] ok [00:15] montel, will try it again. [00:15] hey all, is it easier to use dual screens in 9.04? [00:15] FFForever: If that installs a new kernel, yu'll need to switch to it (traditionally that means rebooting... I have no idea re: virtualization) [00:16] ceej: ive had no issues with multimointors on my nvidia cards .. in ages. :) works great [00:16] it is set on extra effect but how do i modify the effects?

[00:20] its almost done downloading packages [00:20] montel: it's a bit of unneeded spam. [00:20] k :) [00:20] FFForever: right, it's almost done upgrading to make you up to date.

[01:37] smilingbob, you could try using 'audacity' (a sound editing program) to record yourself, and watch the levels there to help you tune it [01:37] what do i do? [01:38] Lluvio: iirc at least 512MiB of ram is a good idea, and the hd space depends heavily on what you're going to run (can't be more precise than "several GiB") [01:38] PPKuma: that's for nvidia and even then you didn't need it unless you wanted real 3d acceleration intel driver is part of X.org [01:38] racecar56: interesting.. how did you do that? [01:38] bernux, only if i remember what my password for sudo is lol [01:38] dyf: what? how did it crash> [01:38] racecar56, step 1: don't panic and do some further damage :-D [01:38] kitche: ok, thanks a lot :) [01:38] Also, first time using Ubuntu, how do I control the IRC? [01:38] bernz_: umm........... [01:38] mzz, for the slow connection you may try the -C for compress, as for firefox, am not quite sure, it seems to tell me that there is an instance running on my local machine [01:38] Lluvio: what exactly do you want to do? [01:39] Just whatever it was you sent me. [01:39] racecar56, then, i believe there are some disk tools that can "guess" at old (correct) partition divisions, and they might be able to save you some troubles [01:39] racecar56: no, transfer the files to the other partition while resizing [01:39] PPKuma: intel driver is being rewriting along with the other drivers in X.org new driver interface though so drivers will get better after it's up and running [01:39] Lluvio: you should have a new tab or window open with a private message from Ubottu. look carefully. [01:39] kmkz: compress will *probably* only hurt, since the system I'm displaying on is quite slow and the connection's supposedly quite fast (haven't actually measured that bit yet) [01:39] dyf: how? [01:39] oh I see [01:39] dyf: the ntfs partition is GONE [01:39] kmkz: yeah, you have to use a second profile to get around that warning. It does work but it is *glacial*. [01:40] mzz, true [01:40] dyf: what the ntfs had is gone... [01:40] kmkz: from what I know of the protocol it doesn't like latency, which is why things like compression can hurt. But I didn't expect it to hurt quite this badly over a local connection [01:40] i see [01:40] I'm using ubuntu 8.04. I did 'apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' and after I found KDE is not what I want to use, I want to uninstall it. But when I 'apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop', the programs which kubuntu-desktop installed are staying. WHY? [01:40] racecar56, there might be a tool that can "find" the start/end of the ntfs partition...i just can't cite one off-hand, but i'm sure i've seen something like that [01:40] kitche: so when these drivers are ready... will they download automatically in a system update or do i have to do anything else? [01:40] bernz_: k [01:40] !puregnome | fil_ [01:40] fil_: 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 » [01:40] how do I get rid of the tracker applet window that's telling me my index is corrupted? hitting redindex, cancel and ok only bring the window up again [01:41] racecar56: I'd also check with the gparted documention (or possibly their support, depending on what they have in this area) if there's a known way to recover [01:41] Also, does Ubuntu only have two resolutions? [01:41] racecar56, a good place to start searching is a website that has a bootdisk for rescue; usually it will contain a treasure trove of free software tools for HD management/rescue [01:41] PPKuma: they are a ways off probably a few versions of ubuntu before they are even ready really [01:41] bernz_: parted magic? [01:41] maybe 'partition magic' (for windows only, AFAIK) can do it [01:41] but i'm not sure [01:41] bernz_: if so then i'll get a unetbootin and slam it on one of my usb sticks.... [01:42] bernz_: i dont do windows anymore... === gustavo is now known as gubuntero [01:42] kitche: ook, thanks a lot for your answers :) [01:42] try bootdisk.com (if it's still the original guy running that domain) to find a rescue disk, and examine its contents by mounting the ISO [01:42] Any of you use Virtual Machines to run Ubuntu? [01:42] Lluvio, Ubuntu supports more than two resolutions, but you'll need to install drivers for your graphics card, System > Hardware Drivers [01:42] eseven73: E: Couldn't find package kdelibs4 [01:42] racecar56, no problem, there should be a linux/FOSS tool to do the same thing [01:42] eseven73, Thanks. [01:42] racecar56: could arted magic work? [01:42] Lluvio: I had an instance running in VirtualBox before, although not currently [01:42] hi [01:42] racecar56: i can do that.. [01:43] how do I install the most minimal X server, only so that I can ssh -X from another machine? [01:43] fil_, you using sudo before the commands? [01:43] i don't know 'parted magic'... never heard of it... clone of partition magic, or? [01:44] bernz_: it is a live cd with a bunch of........ disk stuff [01:44] ramiro: you don't need an X server on the system you're ssh-ing to for ssh -X (you need xauth and its deps, but that's it). I don't know the proper ubuntu way to install just that though. [01:44] bernz_: i ASSUME [01:44] eseven73: yeah, there are no packages like kdelibs4 and 5. Remember, I installed kde-desktop from Ubuntu. < [01:44] hello [01:45] no one here using multi-head twinview, and have vnc working? [01:45] Anyone experienced with using virtualbox? I have the haikuOS image file and I wanted to load it on virtualbox. I am not very familar with using it and it doesn't seem to be working. I also don't want to use vmware if possible.

[01:46] haven't tried qemu yet. that is a possibility [01:46] infinityxi: what format is the image in? [01:46] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [01:46] racecar56, yep, it's usually a live bootable CD of DOS with menus that lead to DOS-based utilities [01:47] it's a befs data dump from the haiku website [01:47] brb [01:47] Any one having trouble with helix?

[01:49] damnit. i just set up ubuntu for the first time ever and it wont even recognize my wireless network [01:49] infinityxi: no, you don't have to mount it in the host (in fact I'd expect that to cause problems) [01:49] or reference the image file directly. [01:49] gotcha [01:49] !wireless [01:49] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:49] infinityxi: if you mount the image in the host the host will get confused when the guest writes to the underlying image file (and vice versa, if you mount it readwrite in the host) [01:50] Why access non-sensitive data by HTTPS?

[02:28] ohzie: "hp/compaq"... wut [02:28] _CommandeR_: grip is just a front end to all the other tools..if you wanted to use flac. you need to install the flac encoder stuff..

[02:33] Jamed: crashed during a sector read [02:33] Jamed: i guess not then [02:34] <_CommandeR_> Dr_Willis, seems that GRIP cannot find flac [02:34] then you can try testdisk for restoring the old partition table [02:34] anyone else here that might be able to help with some wireless issues? [02:34] hi folks. I'm having the hardest time getting my Canon Pixma ip1700. I've looked all around the forums and nothing is working [02:34] Jamed: i really find it stupid/odd that it crashing when it is -reading- would lead to damage, btw i was tiring myself out with testdisk already [02:35] Jamed: what do i do? im stuck on this stupid usb stick of ubuntu 9.04 and a bad partition table on my main drive [02:35] _CommandeR_: you did install flac? sudo apt-get install flac [02:35] anyone offer printer setup advice?

[03:00] ftehw: google umask for directory [03:00] ftehw, once again, these are things i use so infrequently, i only have a faint memory of their (supposed) existence most of the time [03:00] (and i have to dig through web searches to recall their details, which is getting ever harder with search engines sucking so much these days, but i digress...)

[03:02] ftehw, one way might be to use group permissions, and allow all group members to write to that dir (and its children); then assign the appropriate group to each user who is "allowed" in [03:02] <_CommandeR_> Dr_Willis, Hm i think i got it encode it to flac.. [03:02] mzz, this is the error i get when i try to update ubuntu or read my synaptic package manager: http://www.pastebin.ca/1426006 [03:02] install help please [03:02] _CommandeR_: oh? I sort of gave up trying. :) the database lookup didet work for grip.. so i dident want a lot of untagged files. :) [03:02] ftehw, really, though, you should try to find a good tutorial on the whole permissions thing in general; it's kind of old and on the way out, but it's still worth understanding, and won't take too long to read, after which you'll feel a lot more comfortable working with nix-like file systems :-) [03:02] i need help setting up ipv6 [03:03] thanks for the answer bye [03:03] K1LL9 What is in your sources list [03:03] !ipv6 [03:03] For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [03:03] can some one pm me its to conjested in here [03:03] bernz_: yea, i'm *very* comfortable with general file permissions, it's this bizzar sticky u and g bits that are hazzy. thanks for your help [03:03] bernz_, what's going to replace the old permissions system? [03:03] valleydaddy78 We strongly suggest you keep your question in the channel so we can be sure you get the best advice [03:04] K1LL9: and is that directory it complains about indeed missing? Does creating it help? I'm guessing that'd be too easy, but hey :) [03:04] im confused, i know what my password is for my wireless network is but it wont let me enter it [03:04] when i click show password, it shows me a long ass string of numbers and letters [03:04] ftehw, ah okay, well, i hope you are close to finding a good explanation (in whatever form); as you use it, it'll become easy, at least :-) [03:05] bernz_, what's going to replace the old permissions system? [03:05] eseven73, oh, nothing in particular, but i suspect as we move to more advanced file systems, we'll get finer-grained permissions [03:05] ah [03:06] eseven73, it's not that the current ones are "bad" per se, just have some limits [03:06] th0r: i just followed those directions from your link and tested it. if I chmod 6774 /share. then touch /share/foo. foo does indeed adopt the right gid, but not the right permssions...644 instead of 664 like desired. === rachel is now known as Guest65200 [03:06] <_CommandeR_> Dr_Willis, Odd, it seems that it deletes the file after the encoding is done -_- [03:06] thus some other user cannot write /share/foo unless i chmod it or tweak my umask [03:06] bernz_, ok :) [03:07] followed the reinstall grub thing and I still get "Missing Operatiting system" when turning my computer on [03:07] ftehw: are you a member of the correct group? [03:07] Hi. How can i change my resolution in sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?? [03:07] eseven73, one thing i *do* feel pretty sure about, though, is that Linux has reached an important level of both acceptance and usability... that's really cool to be a part of :-) [03:07] yes. if you read the follow-up "addendum" post to that thread you linked, they explain you need umask as well [03:08] poopsmith, check bios settings drive priority [03:08] ok, my computer recognizes my wireless network but the password wont work now. can anyone help? [03:08] ftehw: I have never used that myself....just did the search and sent along what I found [03:08] I only have one drive in right now, Well one hdd and a dvd drive, it recognizes both and it tries booting from cd, then hdd [03:08] so, i'm off to read up more on GRUB errors... bye for now [03:08] ftehw: surprising how much one can learn just eavesdropping here [03:10] any one who can help with install issues please pm me [03:10] Hi. How can i change my resolution in sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?? [03:10] thanks all fixed now [03:10] valleydaddy78, ask in public.

[03:10] it seems like any online tutorial on setting up a linux shared directory either ends up requiring users to change their global umask, or chmod each file they create.

[03:11] how come type error doesn't have an error number [03:11] valleydaddy78 To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F4 and select safe graphics mode then press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line.

(so i can sit on 8.10 until 9.04 had time to catch up) [03:12] th0r: the easiest possible: shared local space.

[03:39] jbach44: you can get a window manager for it, but you are defeating its minimalist design when you do that and you end up somewhere between server and desktop with none of the advantages of either [03:39] hola tengo un problema con el kde4 nopuedo iniciar la seccion con el [03:39] !es [03:39] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [03:39] what is the command line equivalent of "extract here" for a tar.gz file? [03:39] lol ok thank you :> [03:39] is it just tar -xv [03:39] Hello, I'm kinda stumped here. I have a laptop with a dead DVD-ROM. Normally I use an external USB DVD-ROM but right now I want to reinstall Ubuntu and I can't boot from that USB DVD-ROM. I don't have another box over here so netboot is not an option. I googled around for how to install from a USB flash drive, but the only thing I get is either something that requires the use of Windows utilities or talks about installing the OS *on* the flash drive. [03:39] Any clues, tips, suggestions? [03:40] inasmu: do you use fglrx? [03:40] Rafael man fuser [03:40] doc_brown: tar -xvf [03:40] zoffix, try making a bootable usb drive with a prog called unetbootin [03:40] does anyone know how to fix a replaced partition? gparted crashed during sector reading stage of resizing a ntfs, then the secondary fat32 partition ate the 1st one [03:40] jbach44: you can boot to the command prompt and only startx when you need it. The only thing you will lose is a little disk space [03:40] Zoffix, universal network boot installer [03:40] Loganhoup: no, I'm using the proprietary nvidia drivers [03:40] Rhorse: sorry but i am newby..what is man fuser? [03:40] akincer, yeah that's mostly true, but the Ubuntu Server has a special kernel, that desktop doesnt [03:40] ok, i know i have my password right but it just wont connect to my wireless [03:40] inasmu, why xvf? [03:41] i'm looking for an image viewing package that has two features: first, a single-button move-file function, to eg a predetermined destination. second, the ability to scan an entire tree of directories to make thumbnails all at once, rather than upon first open. does such a package exist? [03:41] Rafael: man is manual, fuser is a program [03:41] inasmu, i read the man page, just want a better understanding [03:41] doc_brown: x for extract, v for verbose, f for use file instead of stdin [03:41] Rafael: man fuser will bring the manual for fuser on the screen [03:41] !verbose [03:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about verbose [03:41] doc_brown the man page explains clearly the command modifiers [03:41] doc_brown, oh, now I see that there is a Linux version of that app; the tutorial I've read was showing screen of windows version of it. I'm gonna give it a go, thanks. [03:41] Zoffix, good luck [03:42] Zoffix, its easy though [03:42] great [03:42] Jack_Sparrow, i was trying to learn more about ubuntu, my apologies [03:43] Jack_Sparrow, i read the man page just needed clarification [03:43] does anyone know how to fix a replaced partition? gparted crashed during sector reading stage of resizing a ntfs, then the secondary fat32 partition ate the 1st one. i am tired if trying to find out how to fix this [03:43] np [03:43] doc_brown the man page should have been clear on those [03:44] Jack_Sparrow, how is that helpful [03:44] ? [03:44] doc_brown Did you type man tar in a terminal? [03:44] hello, I am having problems with pulseaudio. my sound works when I log on and for about 30 minutes then it breaks and every it attempts to play sound but it hangs. Here is the output of dmesg shortly after it breaks.http://paste.ubuntu.com/174647/ Coincidentally it also breaks my wifi. running pactl load-module module-x11-xsmp gives me connection failure: connection refused. [03:44] Rafael [03:44] Jack_Sparrow, of course i did [03:44] hey I'm having a problem I'm trying to install a torrent client called "monsoon" from source since the deb package is broken, and it is telling me this http://pastebin.com/m3adbc89a [03:44] Rafael, if you type fuser -m /dev/sdb2 or whatever the mounted partition is, it will return the process holding it [03:44] someone please help, i have really important data on there... [03:45] !p2p | myself [03:45] doc_brown Can you refine your question since all of those seem to be quite clearly identified [03:45] myself: Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information [03:45] Rafael then you type ps -A |less to search for it [03:45] i just recently switched from ubuntu 9.04 to Kubuntu, i want to stay on ubuntu, what package do i uninstall to remove gnome from underneath KDE?

[03:46] Jack_Sparrow, my question is answered... the answer is ask for help somewhere else. thanks though [03:46] Jack_Sparrow: thanks, i wonder how many of my favorite programs this might killl [03:46] attitude > doc_brown [03:46] help me [03:47] is this the ubuntu server channel?

[03:48] I need to know how to create a bootable usb img from a linux cd [03:48] If I purge pulseaudio from my system would my sound still work? [03:48] thanks, inasmu [03:48] miickee, try unetbootin [03:48] anybody here know of an XCompose file that has all the usual accents but isn't extremely long? [03:48] racecar56 Repairing damaged windows partitions is beyond the scope of what we can help with. I strongly suggest you move that drive to another windows box and use some of the good windows partition repair tools [03:48] akidd116: if you check out the appdb, they have detailed lists of which applications work, and how well [03:48] Loganhoup: I had some small problems with pulse audio. Didn't purge it, just switched everything back to alsa [03:48] !usb [03:48] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [03:49] Jack_Sparrow: :( there is none that i can use...

Windows does have some excellent tools, if you want you can look into hirens cd [03:49] Rafael ok now type ps -A |grep 6871 [03:50] Jack_Sparrow: this laptop is too weak/old/ruined for me to put anything on it, really. i got to get a new partition table, but i have to backup data, then the backup hdd crashes... i really dnt know what im GONNA do....

[03:57] doc_brown: either sh install.sh or sudo sh install.sh [03:57] sh [03:58] doc_brown: or, if the file is executable, run ./install.sh [03:58] cool thanks [03:58] it might use bash instead of sh [03:58] thanks for the help guys [03:58] hey guys [03:58] Hey, has anyone run into this problem before? http://pastebin.ca/1426027 I have recently done a kernel recompile, and now, occasionally when I run 'fdisk' my external USB drive goes crazy and these messages show up in my syslog. [03:59] hello [03:59] !kernel [03:59] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [03:59] jeff__ Try /join #kernel [03:59] I got a problem with my ntfs drive [04:00] !ntfs | neuroelectronic [04:00] neuroelectronic: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [04:00] It automounts in ubuntu fine [04:00] ~FUSE [04:00] !FUSE [04:00] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [04:00] but windows doesn't recognize it anymore [04:00] neuroelectronic: 'it'?

[04:02] neuroelectronic: can you paste the output of $ sudo fdisk -l and $ blkid [04:02] Is there a way to RW permissions to files and RWX to directories recursivley? chmod -R g+rwx makes the files executable.. [04:03] ok got opera installed. another command line question. if i want to start an app quickly (say...opera) i can open terminal and type 'opera' and the prog opends up [04:03] ftehw: Try #linux or #bash [04:03] but how can i get it to stay open when i close the terminal window [04:03] ? [04:03] I'd like to petition to have ctrl alt backspace re enabled by default. That is too much.. [04:03] neuroelectronic, check in #windows [04:03] doc_brown: opera & disown [04:03] is that all one command fornix? [04:03] doc_brown: Append '&disown' to the command [04:03] phenom: enabling it only requires a couple steps [04:03] upon playing around with mdadm I restart and all I get is a prompt that says (initramfs) [04:03] doc_brown: type opera & and then exit [04:03] neuroelectronic: no. two commands. pastebin it [04:03] ?? [04:03] k [04:04] lstarnes, Seriously.. [04:04] doc_brown, alternately you could hit alt-f2 to bring up the run dialog, and type in "opera" or use gnome-do [04:04] phenom: I'm not saying that I support disabling it by default [04:05] that is so much easier thanks! [04:05] alt+f2 is easiest for me [04:06] lstarnes, I know but I feel like Ubuntu mine as well start relying on DOS rather the linux kernel. [04:06] fornix: there was no output for either of those commands, mount says the drive is /dev/sdb1 type fuseblk [04:06] hmm [04:06] doc_brown, I'd definitely give gnome-do a look too, then you could do win-space and then type in "ope" and it would probably guess Opera [04:06] I'd seriously like to petition the disabling of that feature. [04:07] phenom: now that (replacing linxu with DOS) would never happen [04:07] *linux [04:07] how does gnome-power-manager determine how much time is left before it thinks the battery should be empty? for me, it consistently underestimates by a matter of hours. Is there any way to fix that? [04:07] is it possible to have a remote ubuntu desktop running on a VPS? [04:07] phenom Please take it to brainstorm or some placve other than suppor channel [04:07] neuroelectronic: are you sure you typed $ sudo fdisl -l [04:07] phenom: it's default in xorg. you'll need to go to them about it [04:07] phenom: serach brainstorm, if not there, create new idea... [04:07] so, im interested in programming. any suggestions on the first language to learn? as in java vs c++ or whatnot [04:07] !ot [04:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:07] neuroelectronic: there should be a sudo. else there will be no output [04:08] fornix: ok it's HPFS/NTFS [04:08] akidd116: you have no experience in any language? id to learn python first. [04:08] akidd116, I'll second python [04:08] hey guys [04:09] akidd116: maybe python or ruby [04:09] Jack_Sparrow, I thought this would be the right place. [04:09] My bad. [04:09] fornix: like I said it mounts fine in ubuntu, read/write works but windows mounts it but doesn't recognize it as ntfs, single partition [04:09] whats so good about python for new guys? and i have no experience whatsoever [04:09] neuroelectronic: paste the entire output at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [04:09] akidd116: python is handy for little tasks so you can use what you are learning quicky and its 'powerfull' enough to do bigger taska later === |Zippo|_ is now known as |Zippo| [04:09] akidd116: and its VERY VERY VERY well doucmented in books and guides [04:09] lstarnes, Well, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. [04:09] can we have a remote ubuntu desktop running on a VPS? [04:09] akidd116 Please /join #python or one of many programming channels [04:09] Let's see how soon get klined for voicing my opinion about this issue. [04:10] neuroelectronic: you mean windows doesn't recognize the drive? you dont see a drive letter? [04:10] :) [04:10] phenom: you won't get klined for something like that [04:10] actually quite a bit of the config tools in ubuntu are in python are they not? [04:10] You're kidding me Jack_Sparrow [04:10] phenom: comments like that one aren't appropriate [04:10] phenom Try tonning it down a bit, and stay ontopic [04:11] akidd116: my only issue with python is that it is rather strict about syntax, to the point where it even requires indentation [04:11] hmmm [04:11] hi, im trying to include another partition in the fstab, im getting a superblock error, can somebody please check it out? http://pastie.org/481165 [04:11] Is there a way to make chmod -R such that all directories are RWX but all files are just RW? [04:11] whoops, sorry wrong chan [04:11] hi chanel [04:12] phenom, check pm [04:12] hmmm, well, ill give python a try then [04:12] Hey guys, theres an app (Wondershaper, to throttle bandwidth) which I have to run with sudo. Is there anyway I can have limited users run it or any other thing that requires sudo? Thanks [04:12] Hey guys [04:12] ftehw: yes.. butit takes a little bit of a script/find command. :) want my scripts? :) [04:12] how do I boot 9.04 LiveCD ENABLED with prop driver for nvidia??

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:24] it is possible to change the console font [04:24] Dr_Willis :i type framebuffer and it says n command [04:24] !helping users instead of criticizing them [04:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:24] jigp you can also get to a console by typing ctl + alt + F2 [04:24] resea4rch the framebuffer feature.. its not a command its a 'feature' [04:24] !framebuffer [04:24] Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub [04:25] !attitude > doc_brown [04:25] doc_brown, please see my private message [04:25] RHorse : to get back in desktop? [04:25] and ctl + alt +F7 to get back [04:25] RHorse Dr_Willis : thanks [04:25] yw [04:26] how can I find out what ubuntu I am using? [04:26] RHorse : are you using irssi and bitlee? how to blink my nick if someone is messaging me in irssi and bitlee? [04:26] TroN-0074 lsb_release -a [04:26] I have a USB Pen Drive I would like to format. How do I know which volume it is? ex dev/sdb1/ [04:26] RHorse : or how to notify me? [04:26] should I type that in a terminal? [04:26] Myth` gparted partition manager .. sudo fdisk -l [04:26] jigp I'm on bitchx and know very little about that! sorry :) [04:27] RHorse : np. i tried ctrl+alt+f2. the txt is not cute to look..how to resize them? [04:28] RHorse : Rhorse - Red Horse Beer? [04:28] jigp someone mentioned changing the framebuffer, whatever that is. See above or /lastlog framebuffer [04:28] Any one hear anything about compiz features not working after upgrading to jaunty? [04:28] Rockinghorse Winner :) [04:28] is anyone here using mac4lin in ubuntu 9.04 jaunty? [04:28] uggg, anybody got all thier audio forwarding through jackrack sucessfully in 9.04? [04:28] The cube is enabled but does not work. [04:28] phenom: in particular..? [04:28] ok [04:29] mac4lin? i dunt know that one.,....osx? or oldskewl mac? [04:29] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for that. Any idea how to remove the proprietary U3 that comes with the USB disk? [04:29] phenom FYI there is always /join #compiz [04:29] osx [04:29] I cant get the AWN to work :( [04:29] Well, the jaunty upgrade broke it. [04:29] RHorse : how to do it? [04:29] phenom, try #compiz [04:29] Myth` gparted our partition manager should be able to wipe it clean [04:29] jigp I haven't the foggiest notion [04:29] ohh, gotta check that out...boss is mac guy, i think hes gettin annoyed with the IT guys makeing fun of his 'toy' os [04:29] I was just curious if any one has noticed it as a result of upgrading, and figured I'd ask while here. [04:30] A million pardons [04:30] TroN-0074 Try cairo-dock instead [04:30] Im still amazed that the dist upgrade button actually worked [04:30] Rhorse : Command not found "framebuffer" [04:30] phenom yes, upgrading can knock out your old video drivers and leave you without the right driver or effects [04:30] thanks I tried cairo dock but is not working right for some reason [04:31] TroN-0074, which version of cairo dock did you try? [04:31] TroN-0074 Did you get it from our repos? [04:31] Jack_Sparrow: I umounted the drive, how can I get it back in the list for gparted? [04:31] I guess the latest one [04:31] TroN-0074, also whichi video card? [04:31] I fear I should have put the jaunty upgrade off for a while. :/ [04:31] I think I just typed a terminal command and that installed it for me [04:31] jigp: the console framebuffer is not a 'command' its a feature of the console. you must enable to have higher res modes for the console, and thus different sized fonts. [04:32] I need to eat dinner, I will be lurking if needed [04:32] jigp I suppose it's not a command but an option to change when booting. Google.it [04:32] so usually I never know where I am installing stuff from [04:32] TroN-0074, if you have an ati or intel video you have to start cairo dock as cairo-dock [04:32] does anyone know how to force distcc to try only one machine? (and not even try localhost) [04:32] TroN-0074, i fyou have nvidia you can start it with opengl cairo-dock -o [04:32] TroN-0074, it will make a difference which card you have [04:32] Dr_Willis how to enable it? [04:32] Hi! I'm running ubuntu server. I would like to make myself a backup script. Which directories are the most important to backup? (/etc, /usr, /home, ?) [04:32] Jack_Sparrow, we'll wait till you get started then yell for you [04:33] np [04:33] jigp: check the framebuffer wiki pages. [04:33] !framebuffer | jigp [04:33] jigp: Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub [04:34] the thing is I am trying the set up my visual effect to extra but the manager says descktop effect cant be enable [04:34] so I was wondering how to install the proper drive [04:34] tbergeron: what is the purpose of the backup? To keep a copy of all your important files, or to replicate the server and configuration? [04:34] TroN-0074, lspci | grep -i vga [04:34] tbergeron: both [04:35] this is what I got after typing that [04:35] tbergeron: then you'll obviously want all the directories that contain important data, (/home, /srv if you're running a web server or something), /etc, and maybe /var [04:35] ~$ lspci | grep -i vga [04:35] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [04:35] what does that means? [04:35] TroN-0074, ok well that means you have an onboard intel video [04:36] does that means I am skrew? [04:36] TroN-0074, also the driver should have been installed automatically when you installed ubuntu unless that card is blacklisted [04:36] tbergeron: although if you just want to replicate the server, you might want to look into imaging the whole harddrive, instead of backing up individual files [04:36] TroN-0074, hold on let me check [04:36] thanks [04:37] inasmu: I would like to create a script to create small backup tarballs. So I could backup often. [04:37] TroN-0074: there's all kinds of problems with the intel driver right now... check the release notes http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 [04:37] TroN-0074, oh ^^^ I have heard that yes [04:38] TroN-0074, apparently for some reason the intel driver in ubuntu is borked [04:38] hey guys i think i might have more of an idea why jaunt won't connect to any wireless networks for me....i had installed wicd...and it seems like it was getting pass authorization but it just kept on waiitng on obtaining ip address...any help? [04:38] TroN-0074, and only ubuntu as far as I can tell [04:38] lol [04:38] thanks I'll try to install a new video card [04:38] coz_: nope, it's the intel driver, fedora 10 is having the same issues [04:38] tbergeron: how do you forsee yourself restoring from this backup in the case of emergency? If you plan to reinstall the OS if it fails, all you need to back up is really /etc, and maybe /var. [04:38] TroN-0074, well hold on [04:39] jtaji, oh? ok I thought it was only u buntu [04:39] how long will ubuntu run after you dd the drive it's running from? [04:39] TroN-0074, is this a laptop or desktop [04:39] tbergeron: apart from teh obvious /home, of course [04:39] inasmu: why not /usr? [04:39] I am on a desktop [04:39] a dell dimension 2350 [04:39] coz_: the intel xorg 2.6.0 driver is just total crap [04:39] quite old actually [04:40] coz_: 2.8.0 later this year with Ubuntu 9.10 should be better [04:40] any help...ipw2200 on jaunty...seems to be getitng stuck at obtaining ip address for wireless networks [04:40] calc, anyway for him to downgrade [04:40] TroN-0074, do you have an agp slot in that machine? [04:40] coz_: as i understand it there is a better version of the driver in jaunty-proposed [04:40] tbergeron: /usr contains the executables and libraries for the system, you aren't going to be changing anything in there. When you reinstall the OS, that folder will be identical anyway [04:40] coz_: it might fix the users issues [04:40] I think so [04:40] What exactly does mdadm: CREATE user root not found mdadm mean? I get this from initramfs prompt when trying to blow away a raid 5(ubuntu is NOT installed on this raidset) [04:40] TroN-0074, hold on let me check [04:41] TroN-0074: ^ see what i said to coz_ [04:41] RORgasm: you should install the linux-backports-modules-jaunty package [04:41] calc, so he just needs to enable the proposed repo in sources? [04:41] inasmu: okay thanks! [04:41] RORgasm: then reboot [04:41] jtaji, i think i installed that already to no avail [04:41] coz_: yea [04:41] tbergeron: unless you are doing something strange, and manually modifying stuff in /usr, you shouldn't have to worry about it being diffferent from a standard install of all the apps you're using. All the configuration for your system is stored in /etc/ or in /home/.foo [04:41] coz_: then do a upgrade [04:41] RORgasm: oh ok, it's some other problem then [04:42] jtaji, any idea what? [04:42] calc, ok I want to check his system specs first thanks [04:42] inasmu: what's important in /var except www and mail? [04:42] RORgasm: not really [04:42] tbergeron: /var/log. If you want to figure out what happened to make your system explode, it might be in the logs [04:42] coz_: i'm not sure that the proposed updates will fix the issue for him but it might [04:42] coz_: i'm running karmic now which seemed to fix the issue for me... but its not advised for a regular user [04:43] inasmu: Good idea, thanks for your help! [04:43] tbergeron: you're welcome [04:43] uggg, anybody got all thier audio forwarding through jackrack sucessfully in 9.04? [04:43] TroN-0074, apparenlty that machine does not have an agp slot from what I can find online it does have pci but that wont be of much use for 3d graphics [04:44] TroN-0074, ok open a terminal [04:44] o.k [04:44] TroN-0074, then type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:45] TroN-0074, then go to pastebin.com and copy and paste the entire contents there hit the submit button and paste the link it gives you here [04:45] * calc should go to bed flight to Barcelona tomorrow for AH/UDS [04:45] TroN-0074, I think I can solve this there [04:45] coz_, gksudo gedit.... [04:45] SeaPhor, or that yes :) [04:46] calc, yes, g'night bro [04:47] * calc hopes he can cram all his stuff in under 26lb for carryon limit (Air France) [04:47] coz_, I found this for another guy with intel it might help you help him https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance [04:47] coz_, you could just do sudo apt-get install pastebinit and then do sudo pastebinit ...... [04:48] coz_here is the link http://pastebin.com/m37a1b988 [04:48] Hi all. I'm having a weird problem with my 8.10 system. Neither the built-in serial or any USB serial port passes any characters. [04:48] chuck_, well by default ubuntu uses EXA i want to change that to UXA [04:48] just hand installed envy ng was only way to get my drivers runnin [04:48] I've tested two different USB-serial on other systems and they work fine. [04:48] :) [04:48] calc, GL with that... :-) [04:48] TroN-0074, is the xorg still opened? [04:48] yes [04:49] hello everybody [04:49] hi [04:49] TroN-0074, do you see the Section "Device" [04:49] hmm... i give up on my backup hdd.... i guess ill format it maybe [04:49] Section "Device" [04:49] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [04:49] Option "UseFBDev" "true" [04:49] Option "NoDDC" "true" [04:49] TroN-0074: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:49] flood! [04:49] o.o [04:49] TroN-0074, right under Optin "noDDC" "true" I want you to add this line Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" [04:49] sorry [04:49] UDEV creates a device in /dev, but characters sent to the device disappear, and characters sent to the dongle are never received. [04:49] i'm have troubles with jaunty 64, it freeze randomly [04:50] the links coming from page https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/hardware/C/input-devices.html#input-touchpads all 404 [04:50] TroN-0074, now I cant guarantee this will work howeverr what I want you to do after puting that in is to save and close the xorg.conf and we will restart x properly [04:50] The system acts like everything is fine, but no go. [04:50] TroN-0074, if it doesn boot then you will have to remove that line in console and I will tell you how to do that [04:51] TroN-0074, so get a pencil and paper just in case :) [04:51] at login my mouse and keyboard are unresponsive sometimes. having to reboot 8 times before being able to login is becoming a pain. [04:51] o.k [04:51] Anyone had any luck getting this problem fixed? [04:51] Myth`: can you login via ssh on the network? [04:51] TroN-0074, let me know when you have put that line in the xorg.conf and saved it and when you have a pencil and paper [04:51] hi, There is an ubuntu channel in Spanish [04:51] it is on now [04:52] !spanish | trinium [04:52] trinium: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [04:52] and I have the pen and paper [04:52] TroN-0074, ok write these things down [04:52] gartral_: Not sure, haven't tried. I only have one system here at home and that's my laptop. [04:52] here is a question for you - my laptop came with [04:52] Trollkarlen, first do NOTHING until I say "Go" :) [04:52] Myth` ps2 usb or bluetooth? [04:52] Jack_Sparrow: Not sure, it's built into the laptop. Touchpad/keyboard [04:52] ok, then you need to learn English [04:52] TroN-0074, #1 ctrl+alt+F1 you might have to hit that twice and that will trow you into text console and you will log on there [04:53] TroN-0074, #2 sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:53] hello all [04:53] Myth` Ah, have you looked at the link for laptops.. [04:53] !laptop [04:53] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [04:53] here is a question for you - my laptop came with Ubuntu preinstalled - but i'm getting an error on software updates then must be run as a superuser - how, where do i find name / password for the superuser? [04:53] TroN-0074, if #2 fails then you will have to remove that line we put in by typing sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:53] Biskit_laptop It is your first account regular password [04:54] TroN-0074, that will bring up the same file and you use the arrow buttons to get to that line [04:54] it won't run the update - comes back with the superuser error [04:54] Jack_Sparrow: Doesn't look like the Dell Vostro 2510 is on there. [04:54] TroN-0074, then after deleting it....again only if it doesn go into the Desktop,,,hit ctrl+x [04:55] Biskit_laptop sudo apt-get update [04:55] TroN-0074, then hit "Y" to save it [04:55] Jack_Sparrow: However, turning the computer on and off X number of times it randomly decides to work. [04:55] ok [04:55] TroN-0074, and then again sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [04:55] TroN-0074, I am assuming you are running gnome and not KDE? [04:55] hi, im trying to include another partition in the fstab, im getting a superblock error, can somebody please check it out? http://pastie.org/481165 [04:56] anyone here have an nvidia 8800gt ? [04:56] Is this keyboard probelm with a USB leyboard? [04:56] yes I have gnome [04:56] TroN-0074, ok [04:56] I will restart now [04:56] thanks [04:56] Trollkarlen, did you get all that written down [04:57] Is there a hub in the middle? [04:57] dylan: I do [04:57] TroN-0074, ^^ [04:57] Trollkarlen, sorry [04:57] oh boy [04:57] coz_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:57] what??? [04:57] flood how? [04:57] Brasero says "it is not possible to write with the current set of plugins" when i try to right-click on a cd-rom drive to make an iso image. any idea why? [04:57] !fsck > PPKuma But NOT on a mounted drive [04:57] dylan_: I do [04:57] PPKuma, please see my private message [04:58] who did the floodbot to me and why? [04:58] blackgibson, I have the same card, but for some reason I can't get it to display the 1280 x 1024 max res. that my monitor will support [04:58] hi [04:58] jelly-bean try Create ISO of CD Rom... dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/$USER/Desktop/file.iso bs=2k [04:58] Its maxed out on 1024 x 768, and there is nothing higher in nvidias-settings, nor xubuntu display settings... [04:58] coz_, it's just auto generated AFAIK [04:58] Hola, trying to force a resolution (something less than my Vizio's reported but not correct 1280X720 native resoluiton)... Using the Nvidia unofficial drivers.. Any ideas? (nothing in xorg.conf) [04:58] dylan_ that is vesa mode, your drivers are not active [04:58] chuck_, oh boy you guys need to get rid of that [04:59] dylan_: What Jack_Sparrow said [04:59] Jack_Sparrow, yes they are [04:59] in my xorg.conf It says "nvidia" [04:59] dylan_ If you max at 1024 they are not in correctly [04:59] murderfuck!!! [04:59] Jack_Sparrow: 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.000260486 s, 0.0 kB/s [04:59] because I can get compiz fusion to work though [05:00] coz_, not me am just in here trying to learn something [05:00] chuck_, oh ok guy :) [05:00] how can I determine if my nvidia drivers are working ?? [05:00] dylan_, do any compiz effects work at all? [05:00] yes [05:00] dylan_, which ones [05:00] all of them [05:00] dylan_, ok then the nvidia driver is working :) [05:01] slt comment acceder a un repertoire [05:01] I just suck at xorg.conf, and both xubuntu's display settings and nvidia-settings program both won't allow anything higher than 1024 x 768 [05:01] dylan_, ok that may be another issue open a terminal === williamd is now known as TURtl3 [05:01] ok [05:02] is there any reason ubuntu studio would be more unstable than vanilla? im getting constant freezes doing simple tasks like listening to music, surfing etc [05:02] is jaunty a huge imporvment over hardy? [05:02] dylan_, type this or paste it in the terminal glxinfo -l |grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE [05:02] coz_ Look into correct monitor detection [05:02] laxxa541 Please try /join #ubuntu-ot [05:03] guys my wireless card in jaunty when trying to connect to a network does not obtain ip address....any help...i'm using ipw2200 with an interl pro card [05:03] Jack_Sparrow: room is empty... [05:03] laxxa541 THis is not the room for comparisons and opinions [05:04] !best [05:04] 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. [05:04] sorry, i'll repahrse my question. I'm running 9.04 and getting random freezes and restarts, would downgrading to hardy help this ie is it more stable? [05:05] when aliases and options have been changed in /etc/modprobe.d, how to reload the new settings ? [05:05] laxxa541: AFAIK the big difference between vanilla ubuntu and studio are the Kernel with RT. Id google if that could possibly be giving your hardware some issues [05:05] hey anyone here ever have a partition that doesnt show up the free space correctly? [05:05] ok adobe flash and flashplugin non free have been reinstalled went on youtube screen went black for 1 second im able to see video in vlc but not in the youtube site anything else i can do [05:06] Hello,everyone [05:07] anyone? [05:07] does hardy have better hardware support/packages than jaunty? [05:07] anyone happen to know what the deal is with jaunty notification area? All I see there is my wifi signal strength indicator, no pidgin, no gmail notify, no skype, etc? [05:07] guys how do i reload the ipw2200 module ? [05:08] laxxa541: do you have intel wireless perchance? [05:08] why is it called ubuntu [05:08] hey guys, any suggestions on a good application similar to utorrent for ubuntu? [05:08] yes [05:09] so im using 9.04 [05:09] betapi Swahili for [05:09] azureus [05:09] and my bluetooth mouse isnt working [05:09] laxxa541: you'll want to install linux-backports-modules-intrepid and then reboot [05:09] phantomcircuit: try sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart [05:09] laxxa541: sorry.. linux-backports-modules-jaunty [05:09] jtaji: thanks [05:10] whatvn, my bluetooth applet disappeared :( [05:10] azureus it is [05:10] i love how this terminal installs things [05:10] brb [05:11] phantomcircuit: bluetooth cannot restart? [05:11] how do i know if ipw2200 module/driver is installed on my jaunty machine? [05:11] is there anyway to check? [05:11] did you try sudo lshw -C network [05:11] RORgasm it will show in lspci or lshw, no? [05:11] it should show up in there, i think [05:11] RHorse, it does actually [05:12] RHorse, but shouldn't it also be in /etc/modprob.d/ [05:12] RHorse, but shouldn't it also be in /etc/modprobe.d/ [05:12] Concerning wireless connection, how can I monitor the connection power, see all available networks, and connect (all thru the command line ?) [05:12] its not there...so i thought maybe it was not installed properly? [05:12] RHorse, u think there is a way to REINSTALL just ipw2200? [05:12] akidd116: transmission? === ron is now known as Guest49134 [05:13] maybe its possible you have my problem then...make sure the wireless is on. in my case it was Fn-F2 [05:13] RORgasm: lspci | grep ipw [05:13] RORgasm dunno. [05:13] mkquist: what? [05:14] whatvn, when i do 'lscpi | grep ipw ' i get nothing...but when i do 'locate ipw' i see it in serverala locations...but i dunno if it is a complete installation [05:14] kmkz you use iwconfig [dev] iwlist [dev] scanning and iwconfig or wpa_supplicant to connect [05:14] akidd116: transmission bittorrent client [05:14] ok - new problem - can't login root from 'normal' window - where do I go to llog in? [05:15] RHorse: cheers :D [05:15] whatvn, ill install all the available updates and see if that fixes anything [05:15] kmkz: ah, ok. well its too late for that now...azureus is already on the dl [05:15] Ubuntu uses sudo Biskit_laptop: you dont log into a root account [05:15] cheers! [05:15] whatvn, does that make sense to u? [05:15] hello anybody know how to make cdfs on usb drive? [05:16] RORgasm: locate don't show driver installed, i think [05:16] whatvn, k...so how would i reinstall ipw2200....? [05:17] RORgasm: give me one minute to check [05:18] Question: is there any way to set up a folder "/share" such that anything that is copied into it adopts a certain permission structure? setU/GID set forcer ownership inheritence. ACLs work for NEW files but not 'cp /not-share/foo /share/'. [05:20] well, fine and dandy - i can't get the latest updates to install - it's telling me to manually run 'dpkg ...' , when i try to install from terminal window, it tells me it requires 'superuser privilege' - one laptop, one user - and I guess I'm not the superuser - where to go??!!?? [05:20] hi, could you please repeat the command to get the intel wireless drivers for jaunty? [05:20] guys how do u find out what linux kernel u are currently using in the terminal? [05:21] Biskit_laptop just run sudo apt-get update and enter your passwd at prompt [05:21] RORgasm, uname -r [05:21] seems azureus changed its names to vuze [05:21] sudo apt-get update [05:21] right? [05:21] yes [05:21] formatting /dev/sdb1 claims that it is use by the filesystem and cannot be formatted... ? [05:22] it ran and came back with an error [05:22] dpkg was interrupted [05:22] !pastebin | Biskit_laptop [05:22] Biskit_laptop: 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) [05:22] must manually run 'dpkg ... [05:22] ok - pastebin coming up [05:23] RORgasm: ipw2200 driver already provided on Ubuntu, you try again with lspci | grep Wireless [05:24] pastebin [05:24] whatvn, yeah that shows up [05:24] http://pastebin.ca/1426092 [05:24] whatvn, i just reinstalled my kernel...i'm gonna reboot and see if that helps [05:24] i had linux-backports-modules-jaunty but i must have copied it wrong [05:25] RORgasm: reinstalled kernel? what you meant? [05:25] coz_ around [05:25] TroN-0074, yes [05:25] whatvn, sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic [05:25] TroN-0074, how did that go? [05:25] yo after I reboot the computer the cairo dock didnt come back [05:25] Biskit_laptop, try sudo dpkg --configure -a [05:25] TroN-0074, didnt come back? [05:25] whatvn, i read in a forum that this might help fix issues with ipw2200 and get ure wireless working [05:25] ok [05:25] only the set up panel showed up [05:26] whatvn, what do u think? [05:26] TroN-0074, ok which video card again? [05:26] Biskit_laptop *sudo* dpkg --configure -a [05:26] seems to be working [05:26] slow laptop [05:26] RORgasm: I don't have any idea, but It gives you a try. reboot don't take you more time :) [05:26] everything else is working [05:26] TroN-0074, this is intel right? [05:27] yes === ursula__ is now known as Ursinha [05:27] TroN-0074, ok open your home directory [05:27] is there a way to make window list display multiple rows of windows rather than the single row? [05:27] TroN-0074, under .confi delete the cairo-dock folder [05:27] TroN-0074, then restart the dock [05:28] TroN-0074, however make sure you restart it "without" opengl [05:29] TroN-0074, did you try that? [05:29] cool! it worked! you guys are the greatest! [05:29] anyone? how to install Wireless Intel 4965 AG drivers for jaunty? [05:29] TroN-0074, to be sure you can try opening cairo-dock via the terminal with cairo-dock [05:29] Biskit_laptop yw [05:29] TroN-0074, this will also give a readout if there are errors [05:29] laxa8831: there should be no drivers to install [05:30] laxa8831: i have the 4965 and it works in Hardy. it should certainly work in Jaunty. [05:30] Thanks! I knew there was a way around that, I just didn't know it - Thanks Again [05:30] another happy customer [05:30] its not detected, no wireless options [05:31] TroN-0074, are you still here? [05:31] yes thanks [05:32] cairo dock is back [05:32] TroN-0074, cool [05:32] great [05:32] thanks [05:32] TroN-0074, no problem [05:32] Ill stop by again with more question another time [05:32] cya [05:33] has anyone who upgraded from hardy to jaunty experience stability issues? [05:33] i mean either upgraded/clean install [05:33] anyone know an geexbox topic irc ? [05:34] I just setup geexbox and I am impressed [05:34] laxa8831: Sometimes X restarts itself when the system gets overloaded [05:34] geexbox working flawlessly with mediatomb [05:34] i had some pulseaudio retardedness on my desktop Laxa88831, but none on my laptop. [05:34] laxa8831: seems to be when firefox starts choking for me. thats the biggest issue with me [05:34] same with pulse audio as well [05:35] i installed firefox 3.5 and i'm not choking out. [05:35] oh and suspend and hibernate works like crap on 9.04 for me as well [05:35] hmm, i just get random crashes on jaunty [05:35] 9.04 [05:35] but i never had much success with ACPI [05:35] so, is there any way of fixing that fullscreen win xorg crash problem? [05:36] wine* [05:36] also had some silent crashes on vlc and mleovie player but those haven't happened in a whi [05:36] hello i want to ask a question about wine.... [05:36] I try not to rag too much on Pulseaudio. we had to get rid of esd eventually.. and i figured it would be painfull [05:36] movie player* [05:36] !ask > hyperstation [05:36] hyperstation, please see my private message [05:37] wasn't pulse audio a big issue in 8.10? [05:37] i skipped using 8.x though [05:37] I have no problem with pulse [05:37] jumped from 7.10 to 9.04 [05:37] though I don't see the advantage [05:37] is it just the abstraction? [05:38] not sure, only read about problem on 8.10 here and there [05:38] The biggest issue is that Pulseaudio is new, not included by most/all distros, so alot of software dosent have support for it out of the box.. [05:39] radeon hd3200 drivers arent working right still [05:39] i have a problem on using vb6 program on wine, the error is runtime error 380 [05:39] only gripe with 9.4 [05:39] Anyone know how to get the pandora.com stream url?? [05:39] blackgibson: it should be fine anyway as long as alsa is configured to use pulse [05:39] do they use a stream, i thought they cached music [05:39] but i watch video on tv via geexbox so no problem [05:40] and just downloaded as needed [05:40] at least i remember earlier versions used to have the mp3 file right in your flash cache [05:40] i think it still just works like a jukebox, no stream, just downloaded as needed music [05:41] Has anyone experienced a problem with USB *and* native serial refusing to send or receive characters? [05:41] Audio on linux is a mess. Pulseaudio, Gstreamer, JACK, aRTs etc etc... [05:41] hyperstation: are you using a native windows vb6 dll? [05:42] i ve used it [05:42] Afternoon all. Would anybody happen to know how to change the default geometry for gnome-terminal? I want it to open by default, no matter how it is opened, with 132x50 instead of 80x24. [05:42] whats the native serial port terminal app in 9.4 called? [05:42] but i still face the error [05:42] blackgibson: it's not a mess, it's just not standardized [05:42] blackgibson, I don't think its a mess. Just a lot of options [05:42] Have you checked to see if you have minicom installed? [05:43] t0aster: try gkermit [05:43] T0aster: do you have minicom installed? [05:43] DEOS ANYBODY KNOW WAT THE HECK IS THE THEME PREFERENCE TOOL [05:43] man i feel so helpless here, like the person in the office who freaks out when a black screen saver switches on... [05:43] blackgibson, that's like saying the GUI is a mess because one person liked fluxbox while the other uses gnome [05:43] *likes [05:43] aleron6: you mean where it is or the command line for it? [05:43] anyone know a serial terminal in 9.4? [05:43] where is it [05:43] aleron6: caps off pleas, what theme preference do you mean? [05:43] System -> Preferences -> Appearence [05:44] beat me [05:44] cause theres no reference in the documentation [05:44] the one thing i knew... [05:44] /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties [05:44] hello, according to the repositories wiki, "$release-backports: I have something akin to technology ADHD, needing the latest of everything I can possibly get, but I can’t handle running the development branch." we just enable backports and we get latest of everything. But why isn't svn 1.6 there? Only 1.5 [05:44] t0aster: cutecom... the best, hands down [05:44] putty type application plz? [05:44] Anyone know how to get the pandora.com stream url?? [05:44] wheres the theme details button then [05:44] damn man...you couldn't find a GIU tool by looking through the menu? [05:44] in the documemtation they make is sound confusin [05:45] well what do you wanna do? Change the theme? [05:45] no i wanna learn [05:45] laxa8831: intel video driver? [05:45] where everything is thats why im reading the doc [05:45] and I'm trying to teach you [05:45] Chowder: but we have defacto standards for GUIs.. I personally like having one or two well supported, majority used options ( ie KDE/Gnome to follow your GUI ) example, and then whatever else anyone else wants to write [05:45] i have my mp3s on my windows partitiion, and if open rhytmbox without opening the partition in places rhythmbox doesnt find any files, the same as all programs cant find files on the partition unless i opne it manually [05:45] is there a way to open it automatically on startup [05:46] blackgibson, there are defacto standards. Freedesktop.org. [05:46] right... [05:46] Hi, I'm trying to boot Ubuntu insert version here and I'm getting insert error [05:46] and most GUIs conform to them [05:46] halo all [05:46] hello anybody know how to make cdfs on usb drive? [05:46] they just perform differently [05:46] or look different [05:47] laxa8831: Yes, unfortunately it involves manually editing fstab, as far as I know... [05:47] piju: what exactly are you trying to do? [05:47] wtf nobody can tell me a putty type application ? [05:47] t0aster: cutecom [05:47] ty [05:47] as for the audio, I'm sure the LSB (Linux Standard Base) has ALSA as the default [05:47] np [05:47] but there isn't really a "freedesktop.org" like audio thing however. Keep in mind, I have specialized needs. If it wasnt for my home studio needs, id be quite happy with the state of things [05:47] Does anyone know if there is a simpler way than editing the fstab for automounting partitions? [05:47] I can't send *anything* to or from any native or USB serial port under Ubuntu 8.10. Has anyone experienced behavior likr this? [05:47] ienorand, it should work automatically [05:48] t0aster: putty or somethingn like it isn't necessary in linux...just use a terminal [05:48] what_if, i want to make 2 partition on my usb drive, first is cdfs and fat. so my application on cdfs will autorun [05:48] It's like characters are being dropped by the kernel. [05:48] Chowder: You need to click the partition first though. [05:48] to connect to a rs232 signal [05:48] gduncan: uninstall brltty [05:48] ienorand, editing the fstab isn't that hard, either. I could walk you through it if you'd like. [05:48] t0aster: use minicom for serial [05:48] Chowder: i have to manually open the xp partition each time i startup [05:48] ALSA is good, but what the pro audio world needs is good, consistent out of the box real time audio support for most distros. [05:48] Lemme see if it's installed. [05:48] ienorand: there are a few utilities, python-fstab [05:48] does ne 1 know what DRDY ERR is [05:48] ty [05:49] Chowder: infinityxi It's for laxa8831 [05:49] ienorand: mountmanager too [05:49] oh [05:49] i have high hopes for JACK [05:49] is it possible to install matlab on linux?? if it is, what do i need for it? [05:49] laxa8831: try mountmanager [05:49] or python-mount [05:49] Chowder: it's always in the places menu, it's just that i have to open it each time [05:49] How do i find out what is causing eth0 to be in permisc. mode? [05:49] I can't connect to my windows share folder with samba. I keep getting this error Failed to retrieve share list from server [05:49] it looks like a gui front end for manipulating the /etc/fstab [05:49] JACK is ok [05:49] i don't have it installed [05:49] bit of a pain in the ass though [05:49] blackgibson, then program it. This is the Linux community. When we see something that needs improvement we improve upon it. If you're not a programmer then start a petition. [05:50] having to redirect an app's audio to jackrack everytime it plays audio [05:50] so nobody heah knows where the theme dialog is at [05:50] what_if, got the answer? [05:50] I know qjackctl can save connections, but it always defaults [05:51] aleron6: i just told you [05:51] no yu didnt [05:51] System -> Preferences -> Appearence [05:51] aleron6: right click desktop, change background, and go to theme tab in that window... [05:51] aleron6: system --> preferences --> appearance... is that what you are looking for ??? [05:51] laxa8831, well Linux automatically recognizes the partitions. Its up to you if you want to mount them or not. You could write a startup script or edit the fstab. in other words, PM me [05:51] Theme is the first tab [05:51] aleron6: /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties [05:51] hyperstation: There is a linux version of matlab on the second (mac version) disk. [05:51] can't miss it [05:52] infinityxi: sorry for the duplicate [05:52] no not the location [05:52] kmkz: not a problem he didn't listen to me the first time [05:52] didnt yu read about it in the documentation [05:52] the theme details [05:52] aleron6: you're using ubuntu or kubuntu? [05:52] piju: I don't think it is possible to directly copy a cdfs as cfd onto a hard drive and get your data back [05:52] ubuntu [05:52] because if you're using gnome it's there plain as day [05:52] i'll send you a screen shot if you need [05:53] The system menu up top [05:53] NoOneImportant:: Yea.. but you know... JACK is better than no low latency audio. I do wonder why most distros don't offer a realtime kernel as a install time option though. Is there some technical reason why enabling RT by default would be a bad thing? [05:53] what_if, how to make a cdfs into usb drive? [05:53] the first menu option under there is Preferences [05:53] and under that you will see Appearence [05:53] it will give you a dialog with a few tabs, Themes is the first [05:53] gduncan: no, i just have matlab for windows....do you know what do i need to install this program? [05:53] I don't care about latency, myself [05:53] Sure enough brltty was installed, now removed. Should that have really affected every port connected? [05:53] but I hate having to reset jack connections all the damn time [05:54] aleron6: or are you looking for the folder where themes are installed? [05:54] If you don't need low latency audio, then using JACK is just self torture [05:54] I keep getting this error when trying to connect to windows network "Failed to retrieve share list from server" [05:54] piju: if it is a linux live cd there are tools for that... otherwise you may just have to copy the data to another filesystem [05:54] ok, does mountmanager have a gui? [05:54] haha audio was a big mess back in 2000, i had to disable my modem to get sound then reenable my modem back [05:54] I like jack for jackrack [05:54] hyperstation: There is a native linux version. Where are you getting yours? [05:54] no not location [05:54] laxa8831, did you solve the problem? [05:54] this was under red hat 6.0 haha [05:54] aleron6: you there? you see it? [05:54] it's the easiest way (and that says alot) for having a system wide eq [05:54] didnt yu see it in the documemtation [05:54] gduncan: it did for me. brltty is braille output (serial) and it takes over [05:55] which documentation? [05:55] i installed mountmanger but when i run it, from terminal or sys admin nothing happens [05:55] what_if, how ? [05:55] what_if: do I need to restart the system or any daemons to get rs232 functionality back? [05:55] try running it under sudo [05:55] infinityxi: you know, audio has always been pretty ( for the most part ) painless for me. it was Xfree86 manual configurations that made me cry when i first got into linux man many moons ago [05:55] hey can someone tell me where im going wrong with this? [05:55] laxa8831, I'm not sure if there's a GUI. Although, what I can do is teach you how to have your partition permanently mounted to a certain point. [05:55] tv:/ # resize2fs -dP /dev/sda8 608.01G [05:55] resize2fs 1.41.1 (01-Sep-2008) [05:55] Filesystem at /dev/sda8 is mounted on /; on-line resizing required [05:55] On-line shrinking from 7566607 to 0 not supported. [05:55] shawnmstout: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:55] hi all. quick question. I dual-boot Vista and Ubuntu. I wanna reformat my Ubuntu partition so I can do a clean install of Jaunty. If I reformat my ubuntu partition, will I still be able to boot into the live CD even without a bootloader? [05:56] anyone know why my sony mini sd card mounts in fedora but not ubuntu? [05:56] blackgibson: haha ain't that the truth, audio was also the least of my problems [05:56] Chowder: I'd appreciate that [05:56] i used to have to set the Vertical and Horizontal modes manually [05:56] laxa8831, can I PM you? [05:56] gduncan: shouldn't possibly do a "sudo killall brltty" to make sure [05:56] dlozarie: Yes, no problem [05:56] infinityx1: "what the hell is a modeline.. uh oh!" [05:56] yep [05:56] piju: how to copy files or make a live-cd into an external usb disk? [05:56] Chowder: sure [05:56] then after a while red hat's GDM used to just die [05:57] start up then kill itself [05:57] abcminiuser: so if I boot into Windows and reformat my Ubuntu partition from there, that'd be OK, right? [05:57] Hi, I'm am trying to boot ubuntu 9.04 , I have a pc with a SATA controller, and I am getting errors like DRDY ERR can anyone give me a hint? [05:57] what_if, do u know u3 usb drive ? [05:57] red hat 6 was trash anyway [05:57] http://en.pastebin.ca/1426113 im trying to resize my filesystem, can someone take a look at this and tell me what im doing wrong? [05:57] anyone know why i can't mount my sd card in Ubuntu but I can in Fedora? [05:57] I started on slackware and Afterstep.. no GDM [05:57] my first distro was red hat 6 from a pile of CDs i order from linuxmall way back when [05:57] So yea... im no guru, but i learned some stuff the hard way [05:57] they had a special 10 cds for $5 [05:57] Hi Guys [05:57] I have a minor crisis [05:57] yeah what i did was [05:58] Can anyone help me with the samba problem? [05:58] i quit windows for a year [05:58] and I could use some help? [05:58] anyone? [05:58] Crap! Still no go. [05:58] i went through senior year of HS with linux [05:58] can i vnc to my ubuntu on my vps? [05:58] I have to reboot to use my cd/dvd drives.. how to fix this? [05:58] piju: I do now, just googled. This is what you are installing to I take it. Still, what CD are you copying to it? [05:58] when abiword was like 20% complete and StarOffice had it's own start menu [05:58] and took up 900MB of ram [05:58] ...it still kind of does === soreau_ is now known as soreau [05:58] what_if, u still dont understand [05:58] I game on windows, and my home studio is windows baised. everything else is done on Ubuntu.. [05:58] I unplugged and re-plugged the FT232 Breakout just to make sure the device isn't attached to a process. [05:58] with short Hackintosh stints [05:58] what_if, nvm ill ask another person [05:59] So, I just installed 9.04, and its nice, I'm enjoying it [05:59] except [05:59] The serial dongle has rx and tx shorted, sort of a hardware local echo. [05:59] I cannot get the resolution to go above 800x600! [05:59] i quit windows games, i play Tremulous, Quake 3, Sauerbraten on Linux [05:59] I can't connect to my shared folders on windows. [05:59] oh and counter strike via wine [05:59] But I don't even see the TX or RX LEDs do anything. [05:59] Wine won't work for me ever.

[06:04] ok, open up a terminal and type this (without quotes) "sudo blkid" [06:04] and [06:05] Updog [06:05] Should I not be using proprietary drivers? [06:05] hello, i installed xorg through aptitude (sudo apt-get install xorg) and now my xorg.conf is blank... I need to change something in it and cannot find it, where is it located? [06:06] svensko: there might be a backup of the old file called xorg.conf~ or something like that [06:06] aleron6: I don't have the documentation available right now, unfortunately, what exactly are you looking for (you could pastebin the documentation page if that explains) [06:06] !pastebin [06:06] 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) [06:06] dpkg-reconfigure it, svensko [06:06] Chowder- why do i have to reboot to use my cd/dvd drives.. they work on boot..when i wait 15 mins..they can not be accessed.

[06:33] no aol has free service now!! [06:33] I started to realize that ubuntu isn't the choice of platform for developers. So many libraries are outdated.

How do I remove that package? [07:54] how do I do auto hibernate with /etc/ one? [07:54] secret901: you could try sudo aptitude remove -f linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-12-generic [07:54] neoXsys: SB and HDMI [07:55] secret901: I do not know how safe that would be though [07:55] lstarnes: tried that [07:55] votan: some aplications like audacious allow you to select what driver is used as output. not sure if it totaly turns off pulse audio or not. [07:55] lstarnes: you gave me that advice a while ago [07:55] secret901: I recall having a similar issue [07:55] secret901: but not giving you that advice [07:55] votan: Check System -> Preferences -> Sound [07:55] Hello people. Im trying to install ffmpeg (with all encoders/decoded such as amr, a52, xvid, theora, etc etc) and php5-ffmpeg to a lamp server but i need to know where to check that the ffmpeg.so file is installed... I'm following a tutorial for the GUI ubuntu bt im using only server 9 and terminal, no gui. I have instelled ffmpeg but not moved its .so file to lamp as i am following a tutorial [07:56] designed for xampp [07:56] neoXsys: sec [07:56] lstarnes: How do I tie the one from gnome menu to the hibernate script in /etc? [07:56] lstarnes: now it's having the same problem with that package but it continues removing the other packages [07:56] secret901: what if you get the .deb for that package then force reinstall it? [07:56] therefor i dont have the opt/lampp folder on my system [07:56] Renay2: I don't know [07:56] how do i pause and resume a process based on PID ? [07:56] ozzmosis: I can try that. Know where I can find it? [07:57] could you help direct me to where i should be copying the ffmpeg.so file so it is available on lamp ? [07:57] storbek : I have hibernate in /usr/sbin and /etc/acpi . The one in /etc seem to work. How do I tie to auto hibernate in gnome? [07:57] secret901: google should find it [07:57] neoXsys: Âi using mplayer. "mplayer -ao alsa *.mp3" works fine [07:57] T-KILLER: have you tried installing the ffmpeg package? [07:57] Renay2: Right Click on Applications -> Edit Menus -> Put your custom executable command [07:57] I have a problem with using Mozilla on Ubuntu 8.10 for some weird reason [07:58] I have friends on yahoo groups and I can't see their pictures anymore [07:58] lstarnes: i need to compile the ffmpeg package myself as it doesnt include the said codecs by default === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:58] BilokShem: try disabling add-ons as a first step [07:59] ok [07:59] therefore i cannot install by simply using apt-get or aptitude instal [07:59] T-KILLER: what codecs? [07:59] ozzmosis: I could only find 25 pages mentioning the package but none has the deb for it [08:00] a52, amrnb,amrwb etc etc [08:00] kmkz: it used to work about an hour or so ago, but I got some message on the toolbar and it asked me to UNDO something but I decided to just close that and now I can't see their pics [08:00] T-KILLER: you might try search for it to find it then replace it find it with find /usr -name "ffmpeg*" [08:00] --enable-liba52 --enable-liba52bin \ [08:00] --enable-libamr-nb --enable-libamr-wb --enable-libdc1394 \ [08:00] --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaadbin \ [08:00] --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis \ [08:00] --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid [08:00] T-KILLER: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:00] so, i just downloaded a game, installed it, and all seemed well. i ran the game, the screen size changed but it didnt load [08:00] i need al lthat [08:00] any suggestions? [08:00] akidd116: is it a Windows game? [08:01] nope, its enemy territory. i followed the setup instructions in a support forum for ubuntu [08:01] i know where the ffmpeg.s0 file is, im asking where i need to copy it to to work with lamp rather than xampp [08:01] Ok I disabled what little add ons I had [08:01] Now what? [08:02] does anyone here run ubuntu on a "studio" laptop by dell? [08:02] BilokShem: did you try disabling the addons? or you can also try a +F5 (refresh, clear cache) otherwise it might be more complicated [08:02] anyone at all? [08:02] i cant install ubuntu right now because i am having dell honor my windows only warranty [08:02] T-KILLER: I think where it was should work just rename the old and replace with the new [08:02] dsiable restart firefox [08:03] furthermore, does linux offer any "professional" (yeah . . .) recording software? [08:03] boringpackets, you could try running it in something like vmware or windows virtual pc [08:03] secret901: don't suppose it's in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? [08:03] akidd116 not a bad idea, my bios supports booting from an external device [08:04] i just cringe at the idea of an OS bottlenecked by USB [08:04] hello all. I've booted into a live cd and am trying to repartition. I've screencapped my Gparted window - http://i41.tinypic.com/2dca81s.png I need to take some hd space away from /dev/sda1 and give it to /dev/sda6. Help? [08:04] I've tried resizing /dev/sda1 but I can't allocate the resulting free space to /dev/sda6 [08:04] does anyone know if you can install java runtime environment under powerpc? [08:04] Ok I removed the add-ons now what do I do? [08:04] boringpacket: i didnt use an external drive. i set up vmware and ran inside the windows os [08:04] ozzmosis: you mean the missing directory? [08:04] It didn't work/ [08:05] secret901: no, the .deb for that package [08:05] deantastic did you notice that warning sign on sda3? [08:05] ozzmosis: nah, I don't see it [08:05] boringpackets: yep, was wondering what that meant [08:05] deantastic, you can use ntfsresize -o f [08:06] boringpackets: what would that do? [08:06] allow you to force a resize despite the warnings [08:06] gparted actually uses ntfsresize, you just dont see it unless you click on details [08:06] BilokShem: try this link http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=288184 [08:06] the tutorial said to copy it from /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/ffmpeg.so which exists.. but the folder they ask to copy it to doesnt /opt/lampp/lib/php/extentions/no-debug-non-zts-200613/ obviously because i dont have XAMPP installed just LAMP [08:07] hey guys [08:07] hello [08:07] though i gotta tell you, i had that warning, and i resized it, and rather than relocate the data, it moved the entire filesystem, took hours [08:07] so where is the equivalent folder to load the php5 plugins from in LAMP [08:07] not XAMPP ? [08:07] hi all [08:07] !hi | vovo4ka [08:07] vovo4ka: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:07] boringpackets: looks like -o isn't a valid option. perhaps you meant -i? [08:07] secret901: ok, I'm out of ideas [08:08] how to make autoconnect VPN -connection in Network-manager ? [08:08] perhaps i did, i'm more of a user, than an expert deantastic [08:08] Ok [08:08] i just thought i'd try and help since nobody else is answering you [08:08] I cannot see under image 5 but what do I do with that code? [08:08] boringpackets: okay, thanks a lot :D [08:08] i have a small glitch with my tcp/ip protocol at the subserver level the postproc daemon seems to be running at run level 5. any suggestions [08:08] heh, this is my first day using linux. i wont be any help to anyone for a longggg while [08:08] vovo4ka: uh...edit connections > VPN maybe [08:08] anyone manage to install ubuntu 9.04 powerpc on imacg3 ? please PM me [08:09] deantastic, why do you have two swaps? [08:09] if you dont mind me asking [08:09] msmarc: http://openjdk.java.net/ [08:09] shadearg, yeah) autoconnect is not working ) [08:09] boringpackets: you see, I had a previous install of Ubuntu and decided to wipe my Ubuntu partition and do a clean install. [08:09] boringpackets: now all I did was delete my ubuntu partition in windows [08:09] kmkz: what do I do with the code I am given? [08:09] vovo4ka: im going to point you to a wiki , maybe that helps [08:09] !vpn | vovo4ka [08:09] vovo4ka: From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [08:10] i'm looking for an image viewing package that has two features: first, a single-button move-file function, to eg a predetermined destination. second, the ability to scan an entire tree of directories to make thumbnails all at once, rather than upon first open. does such a package exist? [08:10] boringpackets: the ~300mb swap is from the earlier install, the ~100mb from the install I did just now [08:10] any takers ? [08:10] boringpackets: would it be safe to delete the 300mb swap? [08:10] deantastic yes you actually dont need the swap [08:10] but it'll come in handy for things like standby [08:10] what's the command to check kernel version installed? [08:10] BilokShem: actually the code is supposed to show some java image... it's not showing on my pc either :P [08:11] hmm [08:11] boringpackets: okay, imma delete the 300mb swap then. :) [08:11] cyberjorge: uname -r [08:11] All the other images showed [08:11] im surprised ubuntu didn't automatically detect an already existing swap [08:11] akidd116: this is my first week using Ubuntu (desktop) .. I've been using FreeBSD (mostly for server stuff) so I can sort of work my way around but there's still a bit of a learning curve === danorsk[afk] is now known as danorsk [08:11] akidd116: using FreeBSD for years, I meant to say [08:11] lstarnes: thanks a lot! [08:12] opt/lampp/lib/php/extentions/no-debug-non-zts-200613/is the folder where my php5 extentiopn for ffmpeg should load from if I was using XAMPP server but I am using LAMP server so can anyone tell me where the equivalent folder is for LAMP ? there is nothing in opt/ on my system and LAMP is installed [08:12] vovo4ka: hm... found a bug report....one moment [08:12] My system is trying to remove the package linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-12-generic but it can't because the directory for it doesn't exist and now I can't update my system unless that package is removed. How do I remove that package? [08:12] boringpackets: looks like I can't delete 'em. tells me to unmount any logical partition having a higher number than 5. no biggie though [08:12] lol, someone came in here with the id hax0r1337 [08:12] ozzmosis, i think the best thing to happen to me when i installed this was for me to have a huge issue with my wireless stuff. it forced me to instantly learn a lot of basic commands and get familiar with it right away haha [08:12] anyone install ubuntu powerpc on IMAC G3 ? please PM me ASAP [08:12] vovo4ka: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/280571 [08:12] you can unmount any mounted device by typing sudo umount /dev/foo [08:13] shadearg, thanx alot) [08:13] Ok no I fixed it [08:13] vovo4ka: no problem [08:13] hello can i get someone to modify wget for me so that instead of making its own subdirectories based on URL, it will just simply producea flat file www_something_com\\some\\dir\\like\\this.html? how much would it cost?? [08:13] is Ubuntu 9.04 stable enough? [08:13] Wanna know how [08:13] xinggd 9.04 is very very stable [08:13] xinggd: yes...quite stable imo [08:13] BilokShem: yeah sure ! [08:14] 9.04 is teh sex :) [08:14] * shadeslayer is waiting for ubuntu 9.10 beta :D [08:14] i am still using 8.04.2 [08:14] I wend under EDIT > Content > and I took off things that were blocked [08:14] anyonme answer my simple question r: XAMPP and LAMP please ? [08:14] boringpackets: there's 15gb of unallocated space right now, just next to my /dev/sda6 (I haven't committed the resize yet, though). Still can't allocate that new space for /dev/sda6 [08:14] akidd116: ah right. I had some issues with a nvidia geforce 6600 (about four years old) .. none of the drivers in ubuntu 9.04 seem to support it.. my screen ran at 800x600 (vesa) until I installed nvidia's proprietary drivers [08:14] I've had the most problems with 9.04 with all the Ubuntu releases so far [08:14] BilokShem: cool then :D [08:14] T-KILLER: /opt/ is the folder where prepackaged stuff (like xampp) go. 'regular' application type things go in the regular filesystem. [08:14] and I'm running a bona-fide Dell Ubuntu box [08:15] yeah, why do you think my computer blocked them without me going out of my way to do that [08:15] secret901: really? i have the least...touchpad works, sound works ,internet works.... [08:15] T-KILLER: However, I notice that ffmpeg for php5 is aleady in the repositories, so all you have to do is this: sudo apt-get install php5-ffmpeg [08:15] ozzmosis: it turns out i was just dumb and didnt know how to physically turn on the wireless for this computer [08:15] shadeslayer: after upgrade, all my videos stopped working [08:15] hmm deantastic, sorry i cant help, forcing the operation worked for me, though it took hours [08:15] LAMP was installed along wit hteh UBUNTU SERVER 9 installation disc - all im asking is where the php plugin folder is for LAMP rather than XAMPP [08:15] secret901: maybe a flsah issue? [08:15] boringpackets: I see. thanks anyway! :) [08:15] shadeslayer: I have to do some tinkering with the xorg.conf file to get them working again [08:16] T-KILLER: Right, but you don't have to manually install that extension, just do this: sudo apt-get install php5-ffmpeg [08:16] shadeslayer: now I can't update my system because of some stupid package refusing to be removed [08:16] secret901: ubuntu cant please everyone :P [08:16] secret901: what about --purge ?? [08:16] 7.04 was the most trouble-free for me [08:16] i have installed php5-ffmpeg that way but the tutorial i am following insists i install php5-ffmpeg with apt-get, copy the file to LAMP php plugins folder, then completely remove php5-ffmpeg [08:16] akidd116: heh ok. I think my Brother laser printer might be like that. have to wake it up using the button on the front. Ubuntu can't take it off standby for me, like Windows does. I think. [08:16] T-KILLER: that sounds like a poor tutorial. [08:17] shadeslayer: purge only removes all the downloaded update files [08:17] its done by networknerd2007 [08:17] brb [08:17] on youtube [08:17] shadeslayer,i feel 9.04 is less compatibile than 8.04.2 [08:17] please review it and then tell me its a poor video tutorial [08:17] shadeslayer: what do I call purge with? [08:17] hi, there was a gui in ubuntu intrepid to add hosts to /etc/hosts file, where i can find this in jaunty? [08:18] the video is here.... it goes through the complete install procedure... [08:18] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47EJFNEJVG0 [08:18] that is part 2 but htere are 3 parts [08:18] xinggd: on sec [08:18] secret901: sudo apt-get --purge remove package [08:18] the only trouble is im not using XAMPP [08:18] T-KILLER: I saw this unstriped package will this help? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg [08:18] xinggd: 8.04 is a LTS...its obviously *more* stable [08:18] i shall take a look [08:19] thank you [08:19] T-KILLER: Right, if you were using xampp, you'd have to copy it, but you're not. So you don't. Simplyinstalling the package is enough to accomplish the install/copy/remove thing for xampp [08:19] shadeslayer: I'm having trouble removing the package because it doesn't really exist...the directory for it doesn't exist. [08:19] secret901: also sudo apt-get install deborphan; sudo apt-get --purge remove `deborphan` [08:19] shadeslayer: the package is linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-12-generic [08:20] secret901: ah....... had the same problem recently....it got updated automatically [08:20] shadeslayer: did you fix it? [08:20] secret901: yes....it fixed itself [08:20] in 9.04 video card,networking problems with my old hardware [08:21] shadeslayer: too bad mine can't fix itself since I can't do an UPDATE [08:21] guys, i am trying to edit a website that uses cpanel that i just switched to, but certain key functions (like save) are not working. when i hit 'save' for instance, i get one of those 'a script is running on this page' messages, and whether i prompt to 'continue' or 'stop script' it does not save. any ideas? buntu bug or cpanel bug? [08:21] secret901: it says ..." 0 updated , 0 to remove , and 1 not upgraded " right? [08:21] mikubuntu: probably cpanel [08:22] mikubuntu: you could try it in another browser [08:22] shadeslayer: mine says: 0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 1 to remove and 110 not upgraded. [08:22] secret901: what about sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [08:22] ozzmosis: using firefox, do you recommend another particularly? [08:22] whats worng here ? http://pastebin.com/m6680481b its bashrc command [08:23] shadeslayer: same error [08:23] shadeslayer: it tries to access the directory /lib/modules/2.6.24-12-generic, can't find it, then dies [08:23] mikubuntu: well, just one that can do web 2.0 stuff. opera, konqueror, arora. [08:24] anyone recommend a download manager for ubuntu? [08:24] Flannel: thank you for clearing that one up. I was wondering when someone would actually inderstand my question. Thanks again! [08:24] k, i try opera then... thx [08:24] secret901: so did you try reinstalling that package? [08:24] Sagaci: Wget? or did you want a GUI? [08:24] ozzmosis: gui, yes [08:24] shadeslayer: can't find the deb for it [08:24] Sagaci: WebDownloader looks nice. haven't actually used it yet. [08:25] secret901: uh....apt-get install [08:25] help [08:25] ? [08:25] how can i make sure that any directory/file created under a certain dir tree has same user and group as of the main dir? set which bit? uid or gid? [08:25] roobot3: please state your question [08:25] ozzmosis: or a firefox download manager? [08:25] Sagaci you do know that you can search for addons in firefox right? [08:26] ozzmosis: if its FF i would suggest searchin in the ff addonss [08:26] shadeslayer: I can't use apt-get until that issue is resolved [08:26] *addons [08:26] http://pastebin.com/m6680481b i try to run it in bashrc and i get error [08:26] findinfiles ddsf [08:26] secret901: try sudo apt-get --fix-broken [08:26] -bash: ddsf: command not found [08:27] Sagaci: dunno. problem is if Firefox dies it takes your downloads with it, add-on or not. but Firefox supports resuming so if you're going to use it for downloading, you don't really need a "manager". Unless you want to throttle downloads, do scheduling or something. [08:27] shadeslayer: doesn't seem to be an option [08:27] basically i have wget -r downloading a site. however, the problem is that i would like the URL to become the filename. Unfortunately, wget's -nd only puts the last part of the URL as the filename. can someone modify this ? i am willing to pay if someone is skilled if enough to do it. please private message me. [08:27] yaris123456789: I'd ask on the Wget mailing list [08:27] "downthemall" is pretty sweet as far as i remember [08:27] secret901: --fix-broken [08:28] secret901: how come it doesnt work?? try replacing by -f [08:28] error404notfound: cd to directory then chown -R useryouwant:useryouwant * [08:28] ozzmosis: thanks [08:28] secret901: ok do you have any extra ppas or repos?? [08:29] sacarlson, now thats..... i dont want it to be done everytime whenever there is a new item... [08:29] shadeslayer: -f doesn't give an error message but it only tells me what apt-get can do [08:29] hey guys [08:29] shadeslayer: I don't know what ppas are === Mud|verkouden is now known as Mud [08:30] Sagaci: Download Statusbar is OK [08:30] secret901: ok i have only 5 min of backup left [08:30] error404notfound: oh ok and that will only change the owner and group. what aplication will be changing the files? [08:30] Does anybody know a quick way to logout of the GNOME session on Jaunty without touching the mouse? Alt-SysRq-K is messy (on my system) and Control-Alt-Delete doesn't give the option to logout. I may reenable Control-Alt-Backspace, but I was curious if there was any other way. [08:30] secret901: ok try getting a clean sources.list and replace the current one with it [08:31] evanrmurphy: ctrl+alt+backspace [08:31] sacarlson, and why does the application matters? assume a user creates a new file in that dir tree with nautilus or gedit... [08:31] shadeslayer: I don't think that package exists [08:31] it's an older version of the kernel [08:31] secret901: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-997890.html [08:32] evanrmurphy: you can (in theory) set a keybinding in Metacity's config to shutdown on a keypress [08:32] error404notfound: unless you want the files locked the aplication that changes them or adds them would be the one that needs to be set to how you want them to be. [08:32] secret901: ok look , relace your sources list with the second post, and update and upgrade [08:32] my keyboard is mismatch when i vnc to my ubuntu desktop ... [08:32] shadeslayer: After re-enabling the combo... Do you know of another way? [08:32] any idea how to solve this? [08:32] evanrmurphy: how about ctrl+alt+del [08:32] my sound no longer works, now it only makes a crunching noise, and the speakers aren't blown bc they work on xp, my sound has worked in the past. can anyone help me? [08:33] evanrmurphy: or a custom combo [08:33] ozzmosis: There's an idea. Maybe I'll do that, thanks! [08:33] secret901: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [08:33] tjz: from my own notes: "use realvnc, because tightvnc's server has a broken keymap as at 2009-05-09" [08:33] shadeslayer: Thanks for your response. I noted in my question how Control+Alt+Delete doesn't provide the option to logout (only shutdown, suspend, etc.). [08:34] ozzmosis: roger that [08:34] will try [08:34] shadeslayer: Yeah, custom combo may be the best bet. [08:34] evanrmurphy: sorry...must have missed it [08:34] secret901: gtg...best of luck [08:34] tjz: I've had other problems with vnc in ubuntu 9.04 but don't remember what they were [08:34] shadeslayer: thanks for trying [08:35] error404notfound: I think all you need change is the setting at the root of your directory tree [08:35] tjz: something along the lines of the screen not refreshing when I ran realvnc client on an XP box, connecting to Ubuntu [08:35] tjz: don't remember which versions of things I was using though [08:36] anyone knows where i can find network configuration tool? There is no such thing in Jaunty, in Intrepid it was present. Anyone? [08:36] error404notfound: that will limit what the user can change not sure all the files will end up exactly the same setting as exceutable and such [08:37] hi [08:37] error404notfound: and if more than one user modified the files in such directory then it would have different owners and group settings [08:37] georgeMc: just curious - why do you need a GUI tool to edit /etc/hosts? [08:37] currently i'm using 32bit 9.04 on my core2duo-thinkpad, what problems must i expect when switching to 64bit 9.04? [08:38] georgeMc: I mean, gedit will edit it just fine... [08:38] georgeMc: System->preferences->Network connections [08:38] sacarlson, you missed my point... leave it.. [08:38] ozzmosis: that gui was more user friendly than gedit [08:39] ozzmosis: less to mess [08:39] secret901: there are only tabs with types of connections, nothing else [08:40] hi, i need some help with printing [08:40] RomanK: if you are using forign packages or non-packaged applications they may not be available or be somewhat difficult to get to work. [08:40] georgeMc: what are you trying to do === odder_ is now known as odder [08:41] RomanK: so for each such application, review whether they can be easily enough made to work on amd64 before you give it a go. [08:41] secret901: i want to add records to /etc/hosts file, in intrepid there was a gui for this, now i need to use console [08:41] secret901: same as georgeMc. interestingly (?) on a FreeBSD box I noticed this morning it ALMOST had a way to edit /etc/hosts from there, except it was greyed out/disabled. not sure whether it was because it wasn't implemented, or another reason. [08:41] Follow-up question: Is there any keyboard shortcut to access the FUSA drop-down menu in the upper-righthand corner of GNOME on Jaunty? [08:42] Piet, what about browser plugins and addons? [08:42] RomanK: there's a 32bit compatibility layer which should allow you to run any 32 bit applications on 64 bit, so theoretically you should get them all to work, but it may require some fiddling. [08:42] secret901: it's like step back [08:42] Hello, Is Ubuntu Netbook Remix Compatible & Safe To Put On A Asus EEE PC 1000HA? [08:42] georgeMc: do you remember what it was called in Intrepid? [08:43] network management tool or network configuration tool [08:43] huh [08:44] what's the recommended way to use gnome-ppp for bluetooth-dialup connection as user? connection fails with "/dev/rfcomm0, permission denied" [08:44] jamielashaw, looked into getting eeebuntu? [08:44] ozzmosis: you need administrator/root privileges to do it, and it was nice working in intrepid through gui [08:44] how do i force linebreak on text file after x chars ? [08:44] Hey guys! I am currently using Ubuntu 9.04 on a HP Mini. I am looking for a program to send/receive SMS (the sim card is connected via an usb adaptor). Anyone has an idea? Thx! [08:44] No, Is it Up To Date? [08:45] hello [08:45] jamielashaw, eeebuntu ver3 is based on 9.04/jaunty [08:45] RomanK: flash, even adobes', is available for amd64. addons (AKA extensions) are often architecture independant since they are (often, not always) just javascript. what else you have there? [08:45] i feel stupid, but where is the setting in nvidia-settings for clone screen? [08:45] kl4b3r5k1: try gnokii [08:45] Thank you Piet, I will check it out. [08:46] i can set up my laptop with a projector in all possible combinations BUT "the same thing on both screens" [08:46] and i can't tell what I am missing [08:46] ozzmosis: i tried realvnc.. keyboard also mismatch [08:46] so weird [08:47] roobot3: use "fold" [08:47] roobot3: eg. uname -a | fold -s [08:47] moin [08:47] jamielashaw, for the record, am dual booting 9.04 netbook remix and eeebuntu on an aspire one, both found just about everything with no messing about [08:48] Follow-up question: Is there any keyboard shortcut to access the FUSA drop-down menu in the upper-righthand corner of GNOME on Jaunty? [08:48] Ubuntu Netbook Remix Won't break wi-fi or anything? [08:49] tjz: google ubuntu vnc keymap .. may help [08:49] jamielashaw, if anything, the networking under ubuntu/eeebuntu seems more solid [08:49] UNR it is then [08:49] at least, how would that kind of setup be called? [08:49] tjz: I assume you've disabled Ubuntu's default vnc server then run "vncserver" from the Terminal to use realvnc's [08:50] "same thing on both screens, with resolution set at the lowest maximum of the two" [08:51] Piet, last time i tried 64bit (about 3 months ago) one of my firefox-addons didn't work... if i remember correctly it was "pwdhash" [08:51] ozzmosis: i am running tightvncserver on the ubuntu [08:52] Polysics: "mirroring" is what this is called, i would think [08:52] tjz: yep. disable that and use realvnc's vncserver. [08:52] tjz: at least that was my workaround. [08:52] RomanK: never heard of it, is it a password generator? [08:53] ozzmosis, what is command to type to disable tightvncserver? do i uninstall it? [08:53] RomanK: I had same problem with firefox-addons with amd64 but was able to install the 32bit firefox under amd64. not sure it was worth it. too much trouble [08:53] Piet: any chance you know where that option is in nvidia-settings? or do i have to tweak xorg.conf? [08:53] hello [08:53] Piet, kinda... it's quite nice... it calculates a hash out of your password and the hostname of the URL... so you type the same pwd every time, but use a different has as password on every site [08:54] tjz: System -> Prefs -> Remote Desktop [08:54] has -> hash [08:54] Who could please help me with testing Empathy voice chat? A first test with a partner was only partially successful. [08:54] Polysics: i'm not into nvidia specific options. i suggest you read the manual. [08:54] RomanK: sounds great until the site changes its name ;) [08:54] hey guys, im trying to use kmobiletools with my Motorola l7i... what device is my phone in /dev/ ?? [08:55] ozzmosis, jup ;) but of course you can generate the password for the old name, too... they got a javascript on their site to generate passwords without addon [08:55] RomanK: interesting [08:55] ozzmosis, okay. i have enable that. [08:55] * loki_ waves a big greeting to all [08:56] hello, has anyonme experioence with serial to usb adapters with ubuntu [08:56] i am in desperate need of anyone kind enough to help me [08:56] what's up, Motley? [08:56] ok i have a 16 gig san disk mini cruzer [08:56] yes [08:57] i was putting portable apps etc on it and decided that i wanted to reformat it and start over [08:57] hey guys, im trying to use kmobiletools with my Motorola l7i... what device is my phone in /dev/ ?? [08:57] i googled and a few are supported by linux. however is there anything that i have to look out for when im buying one which isnt talked about on forums (like noname ones off ebay [08:57] and now it only shows up as a 2.9 gig jump drive [08:57] any clue on how to fix this? [08:57] is there a similar command to fold , i try to get text file and break with two new lines instad of one if width is too long? [08:57] i have XP, OS X and ubuntu [08:57] roobot3: what's wrong with fold? [08:57] what does gparted say it is, Motley? [08:58] ozzmosis, that enable default vnc server? [08:58] tjz: yes, disable that [08:58] loki it says 2.9 gigs... but I am looking at it and it says 16 gigs on it and i had whole tv series on it at one point [08:58] i don't get what happened [08:58] if Gparted reports the correct size, the issue is most likely your file browser [08:59] gparted says it's only 2.9 gigs... [08:59] ozzmosis, i have disable sharing [08:59] did i really fuck this thing up? [08:59] and nautilus too? [08:59] I doubt it, stay calm [08:59] ozzmosis, it is disable by default.. [08:59] !language | Motley [08:59] Motley: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [08:59] the sharing [08:59] lol [08:59] i want to see what it is [09:00] tjz: sharing? [09:00] RomanK: i see.I'm not sure that increases security compared to using the same password everywhere, since an attacker would also know the hostname. but then, it could, and i can imagine how is desirable to have quick access to a password manager from within a web browser. [09:00] klos: say what you're trying to achieve [09:01] Piet: it DOES change security, because the site-administrator only gets your hash but not your password... and so cannot generate hashes for other sites [09:01] how would you suggest fixing it... i have access to any operating system and am just looking for the quickest fix... I am still pretty new at ubuntu [09:01] klos: which device are you trying to get connected to your pc? [09:01] Motley, try this: open your flash drive in nautilus and hit Ctrl+Hç [09:01] klos: or are you looking for a general solution to get a serial console from debugging connectors on various main boards? [09:01] Ctrl+H [09:01] s/change/increase/g [09:01] see if there is a .trash folder [09:01] i really should get used writing in english again ;) [09:01] ozzmosis, that is what see.. [09:02] hi, can someone tell me the default hotkey for a terminal in ubuntu? [09:02] pw-toxic: I'm not sure there is one? [09:02] find $SPATH -exec grep -i -n -F -H '$1' {} \; > /tmp/regex.txt; .... i got this, its searches in files for a string, but the output looks bad, i try to do that each match will be in new line of will add it string line "\n ----------------------- " [09:03] pw-toxic: Ctrl+Alt+T [09:03] RomanK: if its real hashing using a still-considered-secure-enough algorithm then i agree. [09:03] bullgard4: that doesn't work for me. might've disabled it though :) [09:03] RomanK: but we're getting off topic anyways [09:04] Anyone here familiar with the "Giver" app? [09:04] loki_: that sounds wrong [09:04] Piet, its for reading out a protocol generated by a machine [09:04] help [09:05] using hyperterminal on windows, or cutecom on linux. its really basic [09:05] hum well i have a small problem im sort of a noob when it comes to linux but im learning ok i have 9.04 x64 im running 1.7 x2 with 3 gigs of ram and ubuntu is really slow.... firefox seems choppy, when i play a movie the sound and video dosent match it lags and if i try to do anything while watching a movie or playing a song system starts to hang [09:05] ozzmosis: Check System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Action > Desktop > Run a terminal. [09:05] whats up booboo? [09:05] unique, soubnds like your not using the proptietary graphics driver for your graphicscard [09:05] unique: what graphics card do you have? [09:05] ozzmosis: my advice was for someone else - lol [09:05] I'm sorry. Just a mistake [09:06] ok [09:06] I was trying to use irc command [09:06] radeon 3100 its a laptop [09:06] ozzmosis, when i first log on to the desktop.. i got a message that say: running as a privledge user will caused some stuffs.. then ask me to continue or quit [09:06] yeah I got that :) [09:06] meanwhile, my key is working when i type in the terminal [09:06] no mismatch problem [09:06] the cpu seems to spike [09:07] * loki_ just switched to Mint Gloria, and it's GREAT! [09:07] hm... now one should know what chip a radeon3100 uses ;) [09:07] well, goodnight everyone [09:07] bullgard4: ah I see why it's disabled now. last week sometime I went to remap it to Win+T. but when I try it just maps it to the Win key on its own, or Super-L as it calls it. except that doesn't actually do anything when I press it. [09:07] unique, which process is listed cpu-hungry? [09:08] the moment desktop load up... my key start to mismatch [09:08] unique, open a terminal and use the command "top", then press shift+p to find out [09:08] bullgard4: so then I gave up, couldn't remember what the default was (there is no way to reset it back to the default), then hit backspace it disable it [09:08] Is there anyway to get notify osd in Sonata? === k is now known as Guest97337 [09:09] part &2 [09:09] LEAVE [09:09] right now its x org [09:09] sorry :( [09:09] lol [09:09] bullgard4: I just set it back to Ctrl+Alt+T and it still doesn't work. mysterious. [09:10] if i load a web site my cpu is placed under about a 70% load [09:10] bullgard4: others work though, eg. Alt+Tab [09:11] if I am dual booting ( 2 different ubuntus), how can I remove one? [09:11] delte the partition of the other ubuntu [09:11] ^^ [09:11] saves time [09:11] klos: i see. hmm i don't have experience with this, so i would just buy one which has been reported to work. or use a standard serial cable. [09:11] hi , i need help with printing in ubuntu9.04 [09:12] .... i went to ati's website and got the latest driver build and installed it.... i have to clue how to uninstall it if im not suppose to use it [09:12] ozzmosis: Because you mingled with it in an inapprorite way. May be http://www.columbia.edu/~djv/docs/keyremap.html helps. [09:13] s/inapprorite/inappropriate/ [09:14] hamido: which printer? [09:14] any , i can not add [09:15] my "h" become "k" [09:15] when i type [09:16] Which app would I need to change a "powerpoint" type presentation to play on a normal dvd (through tv) player?

Same as I have on my Netbook Remix menu [09:18] so my bluetooth mouse isnt working [09:18] any ideas? [09:19] phantomcircuit> are you getting any error messages? [09:19] or just zero movements? [09:20] no errors i have the mouse paired and that appears to have worked [09:20] but whenever i try to connect it silently fails [09:20] im using 9.04 btw [09:21] ahh, sorry I have no experience with Bluetooth, actually I am trying to stop Update from reinstalling the Bluez stuf ;) [09:21] Is there a Ubuntu app will change a "powerpoint" type presentation to play on a normal dvd (through tv) player? [09:21] ian__: You installed the wrong version. 8.04 had it. [09:21] Wondering if dmesg shows any information on what happens when yopu connect it silently === Butcher is now known as ShazbotMcNasty [09:22] nope nothing in dmesg [09:22] joot, i don't think such an app exists... but you could try to use a vnc-recorder to record the presentation while it's running in openoffice.org [09:23] Thanks Bullgard: I just thought tit was quite useful there and would like to PC Desktop to match what I have running on the EEE 701 SD [09:23] phantomcircuit> sorry, it was just a thought that might have given you a clue to the problems [09:24] RomanK. So open in OOo then record with vnc and hope to save??? [09:24] Who could please help me with testing Empathy voice chat? A first test with a partner was only partially successful. [09:24] bullgard: Empathy?

Lol OK I am doing a little job for a friend (maybe an exfriend soon) [09:26] unique. try to uninstall packarge xorg-driver-fglrx or xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd. it depends on your card [09:26] I've never uset that script [09:26] RomanK: umm, it was the closing scene on one of the movies, think it was ST 3 but don't quote me ;) [09:26] :) [09:27] bullgard: What would we need to help you test out Empathy?

(i installed debian 2.6.26-xen kernel image that doesn't have bnx2 fw) [09:33] bullgard4: What do you use Empathy for? === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [09:34] ian__: For a voice chat. [09:34] ahh, that sounds reasonable, sort of like a clone of Skype? [09:35] ian__: Empathy is no clone of skype but has a similar functionality. [09:35] so if I installed it - i already have good headset - i could help you test out the voice chat system? [09:36] ian__: Basically yes. But you need to be familiar somewhat with the program. [09:36] Ok, was thinking i could load it up if it would help you but i have never heard of it before this === Odo is now known as Odo081 [09:38] RomanK. Looks like vnc outputs as swf movie.. Do regular dvd players deal with flash movies ok?? [09:39] bullgard4: is it better than ekiga? does it have video? [09:40] joot: dvd players don't do Flash at all [09:40] well Skype has voice and video and file transfer, have been using it on Win and Linux for many years, it is the leader in the field [09:41] have tried Ekiga some time back. nice enough but not quite Skype yet [09:41] sacarlson: I do not know yet. I just had a first unsuccessful test using Empathy with another guy. [09:41] bullgard4: my Keyboard Shortcuts settings seem to be having no effect at all, btw... [09:41] Any idea how I can tell flashplugin what screen to use with fullscreen? [09:41] the linux version is BS, but does work, the Win version is great [09:42] ozzmosis. I am trying to get a presentation to play on a regular dvd Romank suggested recording the this with vnc-recorder but it seems to out putin swf [09:43] joot: recordmydesktop might work better [09:43] joot> is there anything about that type of format on the OpenOffice forums? Maybe that is an option for you? [09:44] ozzmosis. ian__. thx guys I will look at both options..:-) [09:45] ian__, the skype linux version works perfectly fine [09:46] does the desktop iso image support install on lvm? [09:46] Joot: Google with "powerpoint to dvd free" and you will see dozens of options coming up, maybe some of them work in Ubuntu? [09:46] l0gis1c: No, you want the alternate CD === izmaelis_ is now known as izmaelis [09:47] Flannel, thanks [09:47] phantomcircuit> yes it works, but not anywhere near as nicely as the new Skype 4 on Windows, but yes, I still use it on the EEE [09:47] Using SVN, should I remove the program first that I got from the repos, download the one from SVN, and install? [09:47] * J-_ hasn't really used SVN much. [09:49] with svn you can checkput sources anywhere [09:49] install script most likely overwrite currently installed version [09:49] ian__ I did that before I came here most are win apps or have a hook in them [09:50] ahh, drop +linux into the search, that cleans out a lot of the crud [09:51] if you like you could even try -windows just to be sure the product works for your needs [09:51] brb [09:51] ian__: I think it got rid of too much I ended with a single link to a japan page [09:52] "-readable"?

[09:57] joot> I just upped the key terms to, "powerpoint to dvd free +linux -windows", and still of thousands of links, most of them useless ;) [09:57] do I have to upgrade to 8.10 first? [09:58] www.howtoforge.com [09:58] This site may solve your problem [09:58] Name> Yes it can but you would have to allow for the speed throttle since you would be limited to the speed of the USB connection, usually much slower that a direct load from a hard drive [09:59] so far all my 'upgrades' have been "wipe out the / partition and install fresh while keeping /home partition intact. is this formatting everytime really needed?" [09:59] ian__: I'm wanting to test things out before I install on the hard drive as I have problems with my NIC [09:59] working in any version above Hardy [10:00] But yes, there are a number of tools out there that will help you create a Live version of Ubuntu on your USB key, and you only need a 1MB key as a minimum so they are relatively cheap [10:00] Specially Intrepid [10:00] trying to zip a dir in /var and have it redirect errors to a file, like so: sudo zip -rv directory.zip directory/ 2> zipErrors [10:00] but it says Permission denied [10:00] 1 MB? [10:00] Shadowpillar: i don't know for sure but from what i've seen discussed here so far, yes, you need to take the 8.10 step in between. [10:00] who knows how to setup fvwm on ubuntu 8.04 [10:00] Name141: ian__ means 1GB [10:01] joot: actually 'tovid' might be the way to go for .ogv to mpeg2 [10:01] okay [10:01] How do I start a python script? ./whatever.py or python whatever.py? [10:01] 8.04 doesn't see anything to upgrade to if I use update-manager [10:01] dpreacher: you could just upgrade instead of reinstalling. [10:01] Darael: I think the general idea would be to find out what happened between Hardy and Intrepid, and now Jaunty really. [10:01] OOOPS> (egg-on-face) of course, 1Gig. [10:01] so I have to edit my sources.list? [10:01] www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-804-installation-from-windows/ gives a tutorial === william is now known as Guest98141 [10:02] Darael: the NIC twinkles and goes crazy, never gets a connection. I heard people blame it on the e1000e module. [10:02] Darael: some told me to try going back to e1000 [10:02] ozzmosis. ok I just got recordmydesktop running. I will look for "tovid" [10:02] likewise this is probably more up to date: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [10:02] Shadowpillar: you can make Hardy see non-lts release upgrades in system->administration->software sources [10:02] Piet where exactly do you choose that? all i do different is that i do not format the /home. but i'd like to be able to upgrade while installing from CD. [10:02] Hi all. When I plug a mobile phone over USB I see no /dev/ttyUSBxx devices. What does this mean? Is there a kind of usb serial module? [10:03] dist-upgrade is not an option for me, as net is too slow and so i get CD from my LUG [10:03] Darael: I am guessing I could try finding the old e1000 or something from Intel's website ? [10:03] Darael: oh yeah, I forgot about it being LTS [10:03] Shadowpillar: it's under the updates tab, "release upgrade" at the bottom [10:03] dpreacher: oh, an offline upgrade then? i don't know whther that is supported. have you checked the manual, yet? [10:04] Darael: it's been a while for me, I've been over in windows land for too long, it R make me dum :( [10:04] Shadowpillar: I know the feeling [10:04] does xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu 9.04 have bug like the one #471928 of Debian? [10:04] but you have to give microsoft some credit, without them I wouldnt have the job I have [10:04] dpreacher, Piet: You'll need the alternate CD to do that. And yes, it's possible. [10:04] but it still doesn't make me hate their software any less [10:04] do you think a pre-prepared aptoncd type repo will help? Pet? [10:05] Flannel alternate CD...means? [10:05] dpreacher: Instead of "Desktop CD" its the "Alternate CD" [10:05] dpreacher: It's the one that has the non-graphical installer on it. [10:05] How can i tell what ntfs driver im using [10:06] especially after seeing canonical's landscape thing [10:06] sup [10:06] Flannel am looking into it... [10:06] Upon rebooting today, the Gnome panels from my primary screen are gone. They didn't appear when I logged in. The ones on my secondary screen are there. How can I fix this? [10:06] looks like a direct competitor to AD [10:06] dpreacher: but before you download the alternate cd, ask yourself whether you cannot do an online upgrade as easily. [10:06] actually, better than AD [10:06] joot: tovid will complain if you've not recorded any audio in the .ogv file .. otherwise it worked for me [10:07] dpreacher: If you were on 8.10, going to 9.04, this otulines it (there's similar stuff for other version -> version things): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD [10:07] Shadowpillar: especially since anyone needing to use it will probably be using paid support and it's included with that [10:07] I dunno why the packages on the distro CD which is essentially a apt repo can't just trigger an upgrade [10:07] station6: "mount" in a terminal window should tell [10:07] Flannel i did upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 [10:07] but clean installed :( [10:08] dpreacher: The Desktop CD is *not* an apt repo, the Alternate CD is (and that's what you're doing when you're upgrading with the alternate CD) [10:08] Piet: thanks a lot [10:08] ozzmosis. I did not get the file yet so I am not sure if there is any audio component ..I know of photos and text so far [10:08] dpreacher: so this is not an upgrade but a reinstall [10:08] m'kay [10:08] so everytime i need to upgrade i need to get the alternate cd. and there is an alternate cd version for every *buntu? [10:09] dpreacher: "this" meaning, the last upgrade you did was a reinstall [10:09] station6: you're welcome [10:09] Darael: yeah almost tempted to do that because we have client machines that use ubuntu [10:09] special needs clients [10:09] joot: I think the point is that dvds always have audio, so even if your presentation has no audio you'll still need to record an audio track, even if it's silent [10:09] yes Piet true. been doing that since 7.10 [10:09] dpreacher: yes, so far [10:09] they cant kill the ubuntu machines [10:09] they ruin the windows machines quite easily [10:09] even with antivirus [10:09] though I suspect it's the staff more than the others [10:09] dpreacher: The alternate CD and the desktop CD (and a few others) are released for every Ubuntu version, yes. Those are the standard installation CDs, etc, etc. [10:10] dpreacher: so online upgrade is not an option for you? [10:10] ozzmosis. Fair comment.. [10:10] Shadowpillar: Ah, the "joys" of "life without walls" - and being squashed by the roof [10:10] know if landscape offers full management of the machines, such as restricting websites? [10:10] Does anyone know if it is possible to use wiktionary with Stardict [10:10] i've got an eee 901go, can i turn of the integrated 3g-modem? [10:11] Piet erm not while i was trying to demo installation with just my laptop battery powering up the whole show at a uninterneted coffee shop...not starbucks [10:11] though I may just make it even easier and route all client machines through a different networking scheme than the corporate machines at the facilities [10:11] so myspace and facebook are blocked [10:11] Which device should I see/use when I plug a mobile phone? There are no ttyUSBxx or ttyACMxxs [10:12] Hi guys, wondered if anyone could give me a pointer about how to run a shell script when I unmount my ipod? [10:12] which is where most viruses on the network spawn [10:13] when we do get them [10:13] why has there to be a need for separate cd for upgrading and for installing in the first place? [10:13] I want it to sync my todos when I tell it to unmount [10:13] so I dont forget to :) [10:13] dpreacher: There's two CDs, they're both installation CDs. But one can be used to upgrade. One is a liveCD/installer, the other is just an installer (and upgrader) [10:14] I see the places to have commands run on insertion of media, but I want them to run on eject [10:14] so practically speaking, alternate version is lot lot more useful, but desktop version is for first timers to check out the live cd desktop... [10:15] dpreacher: liveCD is handy for rescue type things as well, but yes. Alternate gives you more flexibility, can install to LVM, etc, etc. [10:15] and i dunno why the system isn't showing the right time even after setting the correct timezone and showing the right time during preview over the map, but after install shows wrong time [10:16] Flannel: out of interest, would you knwo whether you can also change architecture this way? theoretically, it could be possible but my guess is it is not... [10:16] dpreacher: is this a shared computer? Are you dualbooting? [10:16] dpreacher: :-)) [10:16] fantomas: unplug it, run sudo tail -f /var/log/messages, plug it in. if anything is getting detected, you'll see it. [10:16] is there any utility gui to set the date/time [10:16] no it is not shared Flannel. its my own machine...not even windows is allowed [10:16] yareckon: write yourself a script which unmounts it and then invokes the sync and run this instead of the umount you usually run [10:16] why is a simple tool to set the date n time so hard to find [10:17] yareckon: that's not exactly what you want, but if it's good enough for you it's probably an easier option [10:17] Piet: It's not something thats "upgradable" no. Technically... you might be able to do it, if you do a lot of things manually, and stuff. But realistically, you just want to reinstall. [10:17] Piet, yeah, that was plan b [10:17] yareckon: but i bet there's also some udev hook you could use to do it exactly as you want it. [10:17] ok, that's it for me, thanks for the help [10:17] Is it possible to run the Ubuntu Raid / partitioner (like during the install) after installation? [10:17] udev.... hm... have been waiting for so long to learn that wonderful technology [10:18] oh well, guess this is my change [10:18] chance, rather [10:18] dpreacher: right-click the clock - >adjust date and time [10:18] thanks Piet! [10:18] Flannel: yeah, but it would be worth putting it on the wishlist. [10:18] thanks Darael [10:18] yareckon: you're welcome [10:18] i have installed ubuntu server 8.10 on another machine and i recall that to be 'text-based'. would that sort of make me familiar with the alternate cd installer? [10:19] dpreacher: install ntp [10:19] dpreacher: yes, those installers are similar [10:19] dpreacher: The server install and the alternate installer are the same thing (the same installer, that is), yes. [10:19] the artist formerly known as debian installer [10:20] dpreacher: but, you won't be running the installer to do your upgrades. [10:20] Piet no...i have watch...will do...i need to set localtime like normal. and i've gone thru setting up ntp elsewhere...isn't as nice as right click clock n adjust [10:20] Piet: it's still know as debian-installer as far as I'm aware [10:20] so Flannel you're sure there's gonna be a clear indication somewhere that i am choosing to upgrade and not install... [10:21] Piet: no, there are no any messages related to usb serial functionality [10:21] Piet: only mounting [10:21] anyways...one main thing i changed in this time installation is my / partition filesystem [10:21] from reiserfs to ext4 [10:21] Flannel: indeed :) [10:21] dpreacher: You're not going to boot to it. You're going to follow these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades#Upgrading%20Using%20the%20Alternate%20CD/DVD [10:21] hi I have a small problem when I use firefox it dont let me go back or reload the page the buttons are just grayed out does anyone have this problem [10:22] Piet: and I found a bug report telling about usb serial was incorretly compiled into kernel. Dunno is this the reason of lacking ttyUSBxx devices or not [10:22] fantomas: what's getting mounted, would you like to pastebin it? [10:23] fantomas: you're trying to do what exactly? [10:23] Piet: http://pastebin.ca/1426215 [10:23] am really asking at the wrong time sorta...since i already put in 9.04 now its either i find someone else to install 8.10 and upgrade or wait for around october or so to get 9.10 === DaNiTa is now known as Midnight [10:24] dpreacher: There'll be almost identical instructions for 9.10 when it comes out. === Odo081 is now known as Odo === DaNiTa is now known as Midnight [10:25] looking forward to it. [10:25] Piet: exactly I want to use wammu or any other software to backup/edit phone's data like address book (Motorola L7e) [10:27] ttyl ppl [10:29] fantomas: could try this: http://wiki.gnokii.org/index.php/MotorolaConfig [10:29] i love ubuntu [10:30] me too [10:30] fantomas: actually gammu is probably a better solution for you. the L7 (dunno about L7e) is apparently supported: http://cihar.com/gammu/phonedb/motorola/ [10:32] can anyone tell me where the default kernel of jaunty server stores its bnx2-firmware? [10:32] Who could please help me with testing Empathy voice chat? A first test with a partner was only partially successful. [10:32] hi.. i'm up to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 and it says that 1130M of data will be downloaded.. isnt it too much? is that normal? does it depend of number of applications installed on system? [10:34] hey everyone [10:35] supersasho: I have done the same. As far as I remember, this value is realistic. [10:36] supersasho: yes, all installed packeges will be upgraded. Plus, some of them which you may uninstalled, will come back [10:36] bullgard4: thx, i was just curious :) [10:37] bullgard4: try with an echo service [10:37] how do i remove a user from the sudo class? [10:38] cptblood: remove them from the admin group. [10:38] using terminal window rather [10:38] cptblood: The easiest was is through the users and groups dialog under administration [10:38] k [10:38] cptblood: k = kao ? [10:39] k as in okay [10:39] Piet: Where can I find a suitable "echo service" [10:39] cptblood: in my country, k equ kao equ shit [10:39] lucky i was speaking english then [10:40] cptblood: You can do it (withotu too much trouble) in the terminal if you'd like me to go through it [10:40] cptblood: hoho [10:40] I just done 'sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin' and was wondering what the default pass is to access it. It's accessable by default to 'host.com/phpmyadmin' [10:40] Flannel: always good to know several approaches to a solution :) [10:41] bullgard4: your voip provider most likely offers one. it's often on 50000 [10:41] microcai: your country is not china by chance? [10:41] cptblood: Alright, well, first is to get the groups the user is currently in with `groups user` then remove the one that's the same as the username (and admin), remove the spaces in between the groups, replace them with commas [10:42] dr4g: use your MySQL account password [10:42] dr4g: you authenticate as a mysql user [10:42] cptblood: then sudo usermod -G [list of groups separated by commas] -a [10:42] lvlefisto, Piet nevermind that its feeding from the mysql user accounts [10:42] thanks for your replies anyway. [10:42] Flannel: much too complicated, just sudo deluser username group [10:42] cptblood: the -a is important, as is G vs g. I'm sure there's a one-liner for that using sed and stuff too. But, I don't think there's a command to remove a person from a particualr group (theres a few straight forward ways to add) [10:43] Piet: ah, I was looking in adduser for a --remove option [10:43] Piet: but wouldnt that remove the user completely? [10:44] cptblood: no, other invocations of deluser would, but deluser user group removes user from group. [10:44] i cant delete the user from its primary group [10:45] cptblood: You want to remove them from the "admin" group [10:45] anyone tell me the technical reason the prefer Ubuntu 9.04 over Win7 beta? [10:45] reasons* [10:46] lower system requirements [10:46] 9.04 is not beta [10:46] fair enough, not really applicable to myself. Win7 is a bit better on requirements too [10:47] poetofzwan, its better than vista, although both windows and ubuntu can be tweaked alot [10:47] Lo all, to install new Nvidia drivers, I need to close all programs operating X Windows. I've tried installing from a command line on the boot menu as well as while running Ubuntu. No luck, any ideas? [10:47] Flannel: i would not recommend to edit files such as groups, passwd, shadow directly unless peopel reeeeally know what they're doing and are 100% sober [10:47] poetofzwan, does win7 support full disk encryption? that is important feature of ubuntu for me [10:48] cptblood: it removes user "username" off group "group" [10:48] Piet: I don't think anyone recommended editing those files, did they? I'd never recommend it ever. [10:48] mchelen: i'm not sure, prob 3rd part app (truecrypt perhaps) that would do it [10:48] Vixen-, do any errors appear in the command line? [10:48] poetofzwan: that should be plural [10:49] :) [10:49] poetofzwan, truecrypt is great app however it will not work for system disk [10:49] mchelen: Yes mate, I'm told to quit all X Windows programs, and given a report. Give me a sec and I'll get it for you [10:49] mchelen: wasn't sure, don't use it myself [10:50] poetofzwan: still better architecture in terms of security. for sure better in terms of software management and security support. [10:50] poetofzwan, also find lamp stack easier to set up for web development in ubuntu [10:50] Flannel: ah sorry, i saw you taling about sommas and spaces, but i guess i should have read properly then [10:50] commans even [10:50] commas argh [10:51] how can I get an sdhc card to be recognised? [10:51] mchelen: actually it does on winblows. [10:51] mchelen: but of course the licensing terms suck [10:51] I have to say I really like the windows management in win7, is there anything similar for ubuntu [10:51] poetofzwan: not really a technical reason, but the tco is most likely lower on linux [10:52] i have to say i really like the linux management in ubuntu 9.04, is there anything similar in windows 7? === christian is now known as Guest81571 [10:52] Piet: I do not have a VoIP provider. I have a ADSL connection to an Internet service provider. [10:53] poetofzwan, which features exactly? probably compiz includes those [10:53] !compiz [10:53] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz-fusion [10:53] !compiz-fusion [10:53] mchelen: Do you want me to post up the error, matey? [10:53] wildc4rd: plug it in ;-) and have a reader hardware that is supported [10:53] Vixen-, sure pastebin would be great [10:53] quel paquet faut-il installer pour lire les fichiers mpeg2 sous hardy ? [10:53] bullgard4: oh, so how will you voice chat then? [10:54] why does firefox (jaunty) always start in offline-mode, even if "browser.offline = false"? :( [10:54] mchelen: There's a ubuntu pastebin, isn't there? [10:54] Are there any good fancy font packages in the repositories? I have the bland mscorefonts ttf package installed and the DejaVu and the font included with the system, all of which look like 1001 versions of the same boring font... so, is there anything more interesting? [10:54] Piet: I wrote above how I will do it. [10:54] !pastebin [10:54] 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) [10:55] mchelen: really like thumbnails (that show app window if I rollover them) and having only icons (no text) on taskbar. I also really like how notification icons are evenly spaced (just an aesthetic thing I know) [10:55] llutz: it doesn't do this by default. maybe you have setup some extension to enforce this? [10:55] bullgard4: ah, i didn't see it. [10:55] I am running an ubuntu 9.04 guest on 9.04 host in virtualbox. === CAP8765 is now known as alo [10:55] Piet: fresh install, no extensiond nothing [10:56] llutz: hmm weird, sorry i could not tell then. [10:56] Piet: "11:32 < bullgard4> Who could please help me with testing Empathy voice chat? A first test with a partner was only partially successful." [10:56] Is there a way I can both have access to internet and the Domino Server on the guest? [10:56] in virutalbox [10:56] Are there any decent font packages out there for Ubuntu? I am a bit sick of using the same courier/times/arial/comics sans clones for everything.... [10:57] llutz: try moving your .mozilla directory out ouf the place (after closing firefox), then start again and see if this fixes it [10:57] mchelen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/174817/ [10:57] bullgard4: i don't know empathy well, was thinking it would use sip since it supports gtalk. [10:57] surely there must be some easier way to get more fonts than to google for font sites and download install each font 1 at a time? [10:58] Piet: just did it, worked...very strange [10:58] how do i login by becoming root [10:58] ????????????????? [10:58] !root | shashwat [10:58] shashwat: 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 [10:58] poetofzwan, taskbar icons is one of the options for menu bars, and app window previews are available with desktop effects, not sure exactly about notification icons [10:58] digifor: Please search in Synaptic using the catchword "font". [10:59] BlackDalek, there must be font packs around, try google [10:59] !medibuntu | BlackDalek [10:59] BlackDalek: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [10:59] BlackDalek: you could just do what everyone else does and use a package manager ;-) [11:00] any1 help me to use mail command?

[11:06] When I use just the stock install, with 2 monitors, I have a "main" desktop then a side one (when I uncheck mirror) where I can drag windows too. After installing the ATI drivers it makes like one large desktop. Which is fine, but when I maximize my windows they cover both, and not the main monitor. If I alter the virtual desktop to the size of my main monitor will that allow me to maximize and have a window enlarge to just my main [11:06] monitor? [11:06] Piet: thanks [11:07] piet: what does preseeding refer to? [11:07] how to extract .tar.gz [11:07] tar -zxf blah.tar.gz [11:08] Decepticon→ are you running the regular graphical Ubuntu? just double click it [11:08] zealiod: my pleasure [11:08] no im on cli [11:08] Decepticon→ then follow vital's advice [11:08] ah ok [11:08] thanks vital [11:08] TAdams: i think you want to look into aticonfig [11:08] thanks magnetron [11:08] piet, thank you [11:09] Decepticon: :) [11:09] i am unable to even create a folder in any partition of my drive exept my home folder!!! can anyone help me plzzzzzzzzzzzzz [11:09] TAdams: that's a frontend which allows you to configure how your two screens play together [11:09] Decepticon→ in general, try using "man tar" or similar for finding the full info about commands like it [11:09] yo yo yo [11:09] I wish they would put it into CCC lol [11:09] shashwat: you will need to use sudo mkdir /path/to/folder/to/create [11:09] zealiod: a technique primarily meant for unattended and preconfigured installations [11:09] Thank you Piet very much [11:09] shashwat: as a user you do not have access to anything outside of home (as standard) [11:10] ActionParsnip, shashwat→ according to Unix tradition you store all personal files in your home directory [11:10] shashwat: so you need sudo, or you can use gksudo nautilus and create the folders there [11:11] shashwat: why do you need a folder outside of ~ ? [11:11] magnetron: true but the sudo can create a folder and give full access to it, then symlink from home. Good way to use the unused space on / without resizing ;) [11:12] ActionPeate files over therearsnip: the prob is not only till creating a folder i am unable to even access files or cr [11:12] ActionParsnip→ this isn't the first a user needs to hear [11:12] Piet, maybe try twinkle for sip? [11:12] magnetron: just simply answering the question [11:13] ActionParsnip: excuse me i am the first and only user and the admin [11:14] shashwat: not as standard, you are only a user until you use sudo or gksudo [11:14] i'm looking for an image viewing package that has two features: first, a single-button move-file function, to eg a predetermined destination. second, the ability to scan an entire tree of directories to make thumbnails all at once, rather than upon first open. does such a package exist? [11:14] shashwat: so no, you are the admin, but unless you use sudo or gksudo all commands will be executed as USER [11:15] hello [11:15] shashwat: when you use sudo THEN you are admin (as you put it) [11:15] my quadcore pc just shut down and wont start again, what could be the reason ? [11:15] i was on ubuntu [11:15] shashwat→ as we said the system is made in such a way that all your personal files, like movies, text documents, images, source code, etc has its designated place in your home folder. the folder outside your home folder is intended for system files and binaries and its adviced to not touch them unless you know what you're doing. [11:15] ruby_on_tails: I'd leave it off for a good while [11:16] ruby_on_tails: is your cpu heat extraction sufficcient? [11:16] Vixen-, check if there is an x process still running: ps aux | grep 2789 [11:16] yes [11:16] TAdams: welcome [11:16] now its just starting and again turning off [11:16] if i reboot [11:17] just the page for the selectio of OS is loading then its switching off [11:17] ruby_on_tails: then its not anubuntu issue, i'd check your hardware [11:17] ActionParsnip & magnetron: but in 8.10 i was able to create files every where on my comp the problem started only after i updated to 9.04 [11:17] hmm [11:18] shashwat: a standard user account in ubuntu will not be able to write to anywhere at all except `. If the user is in the admin group it will be allowed to use sudo to gaini admin powers [11:18] mchelen: i don't want to use sip more than i already do [11:18] shashwat→ first of all, did it work when you followed ActionParsnip's advice? [11:18] shashwat: if you do not use sudo the commands you execute will be ran as user [11:19] unless he did sudo su [11:19] this is sort of off topic, but wolframalpha.com [11:19] ruby_on_tails: virtually anything could be the reason. check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages once it's back up [11:19] shashwat: and users are not allowed to write to anything outside of ~ unless they are given access via sudo (this can cause a TONNE of problems and is not advised) [11:19] it's amazing [11:19] ruby_on_tails: ok, possibly overheated then. do as ActionParsnip says, then enter bios and check the cpu temperature. [11:19] pfft @ cmoman4_ [11:19] cptblood: sudo su is not advised, sudo -i is much better [11:19] cmwslw* [11:19] k, what's the diff? [11:19] ActionParsnip: where is `? :) did you mean ~? [11:20] cmwslw, cptblood → please discuss this with me in #ubuntu-offtopic instead of in this channel [11:20] cmwslw: if it's offtopic, why bring it here? [11:20] im not discussing, i am pffting him [11:20] my sound recorder doesent work, i cant match the source of sound on the list.. i see only Capture.. there's something that i can do? [11:20] magnetron& actionparsnip: ActionParsnip's advice was right but do i have to use sudo every time to create a folder??????? then better i use dos [11:20] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [11:20] oh, didn't know there was an offtopic chat [11:20] use sudo -i then [11:20] cptblood: sudo -i will give an interactive sudo which will use all the variables and settings from the users home, you will also be runing as yourself with heightened access, sudo su will essentially make the sheel a root shell and all settings for the session will be used from /root intead of /home/$USER [11:21] shashwat→ no. you've completely misunderstood the unix directory structure [11:21] ah, okay.. good to know [11:21] shashwat: you can use sudo -i to get an interactive sudo to make life easier [11:21] Piet, thank you, that info with keep me busy for hours :) [11:21] shashwat: and DOS is nowhere near as powerful as bash [11:21] how do i enable compiz for an ati video card? it doesnt work by default on jaunty [11:21] Is firefox 3 available in normal repositories for ubuntu 7.04 (feisty) or will the client need to dist-upgrade? [11:22] cptblood: also if you move and edit files that are in your users home dir after a 'sudo su' it can change permissions and stop programs launching correctly once you become the user again [11:22] SixThreeOh→ Ubuntu 7.04 has reached end-of-life six months ago and we don't provide support for it anymore [11:22] SixThreeOh: sudo apt-get install firefox [11:22] Tell that to the users one our website complaining some page doesn't work.... [11:22] SixThreeOh: will give you the latest release of FF3 on the repos your system is knowledgeable of [11:22] TAdams: glad to be so entertaining, TAdams [11:23] ok, i tried to install the lates kde version on the previous version and now i cant play music [11:23] :( [11:23] It has been frustrating, but also interesting at the same time :) [11:23] I'll see how high hardy goes [11:23] SixThreeOh→ why don't you use any of our recent versions of Ubuntu? like 8.04 or 9.04 [11:23] Hey morning guy's .... [11:24] SixThreeOh: why don't you? make your web page check the user agent [11:24] magnetron it's kind of hard to tell users on a fight for girls that they need to do a bunch of... stuff to get the page working. [11:24] I have just added a user to the www-data group so he can write to a specific www directory but I he cannot write to the dir over sftp ? [11:24] porkpie: its a hot summer afternoon here [11:25] SixThreeOh: tel them their release of their OS is no longer supported so they will never get updates sp will have to use what they have. They could try a different browser like Opera [11:25] SixThreeOh: why would you need firefox 3 to view a page anway? [11:25] SixThreeOh→ it's not our responsibility the page only works in firefox 3. [11:25] Quite frankly I'm completely mystified as to how they ended up on systems with ubuntu on in the first place. It's not exactly user friendly. Sure it is compared to other linux but not windows. [11:25] shashwat: here as well :) [11:25] SixThreeOh: i find ubuntu easier personally [11:25] shashwat: 35 in the shade ;) [11:25] jrib as far as I know it works in 2.... I'm not going to install an ancient vrsion of ubuntu and get the exact version of 2 just to find out why [11:26] shashwat: ? [11:26] SixThreeOh: i got an MSDN cd of vista and it toook me 2 hours to get sound out of a realtek POS sound card and crank my virtual memory a littel, yeah...great [11:26] 32 here porkpie [11:26] shashwat: any ideas on the write permissions issue I posted [11:26] SixThreeOh: if you're responsible for the page, it seems like the prudent thing to do... You're alienating a lot of users by supporting only the latest and greatest [11:27] porkpie: where have u posted??? [11:27] shashwat: I have just added a user to the www-data group so he can write to a specific www directory but I he cannot write to the dir over sftp ? [11:27] SixThreeOh: http://browsershots.org/ [11:28] Nonsense, users who are still using 4.0 can die in a pit, very few web devs should support them. When most of the web stops working for them it's a good thing that they are forcedto upgrade. Maybe they will update to ff instead of msie. [11:28] Can anyone tell me how I can check what processes I have running- or how to shut down all X Windows processes? [11:28] ie*, ps that's an example [11:28] Vixen-: ps -ef | less [11:28] ActionParsnip: Cheers. That won't cause the system to reset or anything, will it [11:28] * ActionParsnip uses the Linux standard and not the BSD one :) [11:28] ? [11:29] Vixen-: not at all, ps -ef will list all processes by all users, less will allow you to scroll up and down the list and even search the output [11:29] SixThreeOh: there's a big difference between ie 4.0 and firefox 2 [11:29] ActionParsnip: Aah, nice one [11:29] SixThreeOh: I think the proper fix here is for the user to come here and seek help upgrading to a supported release though [11:30] Vixen-: no, just format linux drive C: [11:30] Vixen-: the thing in between is a 'pipe' which joins the 2 together [11:30] Vixen-: just kidding, it does no harm at all [11:30] porkpie: i am not getting anything of what u are sayin i am a newbie [11:30] strange thing: firefox/jaunty starts in offline-mode, even with "browser.offline = false". deleting ~/.mozilla and starting firefox works once fine. After exiting it starts in offline-mode again. any ideas? [11:30] OK [11:30] Piet: After all the trouble I've had, that'd be the cherry on top. [11:31] llutz: theres an about:config hack for firefox starting in offline mode [11:31] hi everyone, on ubuntu 9.04 when using compiz when i rotate the cube it doesnt switch virtual desktops it just shrinks all my windows and remembers the place they were in and when i go to another virtual desktop using the desktop manager the top nav bar isnt there [11:31] ActionParsnip: that's browser.offline and it is, as i said, OFF [11:31] llutz: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/31925 [11:31] porkpie: actually it should have access [11:31] jrib well I think I am just going to have to advise them to find a local geek to update their machines. [11:32] Vixen-: no that you're here, ask and we'll try to decrease your troubles [11:32] piet:?? [11:32] !upgrades > SixThreeOh [11:32] SixThreeOh, please see my private message [11:32] SixThreeOh: if you want to point them to the wiki page [11:32] jrib *I* know how to update fine :/ [11:32] SixThreeOh→ your best method would be to fix your page so it works in all browser, use the w3c validation [11:32] llutz: so in the end moving the profile out of the way did not help? [11:33] ActionParsnip:, Piet I have the output, I'm looking to shut all X Windows processes. I can see one thing.. "x-session-manager". I need to stop all x processes to install an nvidia driver [11:33] SixThreeOh: notice I said "if you want to point them to the wiki page" [11:33] Piet: only once :( [11:33] Piet: Also, cheers for offering help =] [11:33] Vixen-: easiest way is to reboot, pres esc at grub and log on to recovery mode root console [11:33] Vixen-: install the nvidia driver there and then reboot === sean is now known as Guest24597 [11:33] porkpie: a user that has access to files locally should also have access to the same files from remote when coming in through sshd [11:34] Vixen-: or you can use the driver on the repos (easier by lots) [11:34] ActionParsnip: browser.offline = false, network.online = true, still starting in offline-mode [11:34] ActionParsnip: I tried that a little while ago. The driver is on the desktop, I tried typing "cd ~/Desktop" at the root console. Couldn't get to desktop and couldn't find the file without doing that [11:34] Vixen-: you're welcome. [11:34] how safe is it to grow a raid array and resize an ext3 filestsrem while its mounted these days? [11:34] The problem is a bunch of users that don't know a bit from a byte or a pixel from a pixie. However that might help as it's a GUI approach (I only know how to do it from the shell). Thanks. [11:34] llutz: that's weird... [11:35] Vixen-→ when you're root, "~/Desktop" would be *root's* desktop [11:35] magnetron: *Head/desk* [11:35] juxta: not safe enough to do it when you have no backups [11:35] llutz: i'd read the rest of that post. Also check the name in /etc/hostname also matches that in /etc/hosts [11:36] aaha, networkmanager it is [11:36] magnetron: What should I do to get to my profile's desktop, where the file is saved? [11:36] f*ing peace of ... [11:36] Piet: alrighty, point taken :) [11:36] ie [11:36] llutz: sounds about right. I hate that thing [11:36] juxta: not so much since it would faail, more because it's prone to user error [11:36] Vixen-→ ~ is just an alias for /home/vixen (if your account name is "vixen" [11:36] Piet: how do you mean? [11:36] "toolkit.networkmanager.disable=true" seem to do the trick [11:37] I can't boot into windows anymore after combining a few partitions. it gave a "could not find ntoskrnl.exe" error. I thought I would fix it if I directed my XP entry in grub's menu.lst to sdc5 where my windows directory is but now I get a error 12: invalid device requested error. how do I fix this? [11:37] What FTPd would you recommend for me to install !!? [11:37] - [11:37] llutz: i use the interfaces file personally. I've had zero luck with those stupid gui apps [11:37] llutz: so network manager sets your firefox to offline browsing mode? :) [11:37] Vixen-→ so something like "cd /home/vixen/Desktop/ " [11:37] dr4g: vsftpd, proftpd [11:37] 1ftpd [11:37] !ftpd [11:37] FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [11:37] i'll go with pure-ftpd thanks. [11:37] magnetron: Ah right, then I should be able to install the file when there? [11:38] llutz: wow apparently it does indeed. sorry then. [11:38] ActionParsnip: i'm swithcing between several connection types (wifi, lan, umts + bluetooth-dun) [11:38] magnetron: Right, so when I was in the boot command line, it didn't understand "~".. amirite? [11:38] Piet: strange thing... have to get rid of networkmanager [11:38] llutz: i see, I use multiple interfaces files for connections and switch them out as I need, not graceful but i dont have a gui app getting in the way [11:39] Vixen-→ i don't follow you [11:39] ActionParsnip: i have to do something similar i think [11:39] llutz: _this_ part is not strange to me [11:40] magnetron: Ah, it's all good mate, I'm trying to work it out in my head. But if I go to the boot command line, and type out the full path (/home/vixen/desktop), I should be fine, right? [11:40] and i have to think about using a different browser too... [11:40] Vixen-: sure, but desktop has a captital D [11:40] Vixen-: /home/vixen/Desktop [11:41] ActionParsnip: Right, so I can do that, then I should be able to type in "sh filename" to install the driver. (filename, being that -actual name of the file, of course) [11:42] Vixen-: sure [11:42] Vixen-→ it's case sensitive. Destop isn't the same as desktop. also, use the tab tangent to auto-complete the path. so if you type "cd /ho" it should complete it into "cd /home/" pressing again will suggest some of the existing folders [11:42] Vixen-: you may have to chmod +x filename too [11:42] Vixen-: use tab complete ;) [11:42] ActionParsnip: Alright then.. Could you explain the "chmod +x" bit? [11:42] Vixen-: it makes the file executable [11:43] Vixen-: to the users who have read access [11:43] magnetron: Good stuff mate, cheers =] [11:43] ActionParsnip: Right, and "sh" then would be..? [11:43] Vixen-: you will be root as well so you dont need to use sudo (but makes no difference if you do) [11:43] Who could please help me with testing Empathy voice chat? A first test with a partner was only partially successful. [11:44] Vixen-: sh means run the file as a shell script but i would mark the file as executable for completeness [11:44] ActionParsnip→ not necessary if it's a shell script [11:44] ActionParsnip: Right then, let me write this down. I need to sh it, and I need to chmod +x, then the file name. Can I do both in one, or do they need to be done separately [11:44] magnetron: true but to me it makes sense [11:45] Vixen-: chmod +x file first [11:45] Vixen-: then sh file second [11:45] ActionParsnip→ it confuses the discussion if you add the instruction later [11:45] ActionParsnip: That'll leave me with an executable, and it'll be installed, right? [11:45] magnetron: ok, given [11:46] ActionParsnip: magnetron, you both agree on this? [11:46] magnetron: it'd be nice if it was marked executable when it was downloaded :( [11:47] hi [11:48] !hi | friendishan [11:48] friendishan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:48] thx [11:49] Hello, good morning, is there any way to re-partition the Hard Drive to add more space to an ubuntu installation [11:49] !resize [11:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about resize [11:50] Right, I'm going to move and try all this out [11:50] Cheers for your help folks [11:50] Really appreciated [11:50] coolkourt: you can resize ext3 but make sure you have a recent backup if things go screwy [11:50] Vixen-: np [11:50] i think u'll have to re-install [11:50] I'll be back in a bit, to tell ye if it worked ;] [11:50] coolkourt: you can use gparted for this. but make sure you have current backups before you give it a go, just because it's quite error prone [11:50] Later xx [11:50] ok [11:51] ubottu, why do u appear yellow? [11:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:51] hi [11:51] ActionParsnip: if it seems like i keep repeating after you that's because i have quite some lag here at times ;-) [11:52] thanks admins [11:52] ?

[11:53] friendishan: the name autocompletes, so they are connected but may be idling [11:54] friendishan: /who #ubuntu would tell [11:54] hi guys [11:54] hi there [11:54] why cant i enable compiz on an ati hd 3200 [11:56] wtl: have you installed video drivers [11:56] something tells me wet is a bot [11:56] hi [11:56] ActionParsnip, i already have xserver-xorg-video-driver-ati [11:57] ?

[12:09] Hey folks, I need help with my netbook-battery. You might have heard from the problem, that UNR stops showing the status of the battery if you use different types. Has someone an idea? [12:10] Haiopai: do you have a reference to the bug tracker, since i don't know this issue? [12:10] Haiopai: also, different types of what exactly? [12:11] Oh, I'm sorry, I Use original Lenovo-Batteries, but one is stanndard, and the other is twice that big [12:12] hey, I need help with a issue with Jaunty. I had this issue with Gusty too but i connot remember how to fix it. it is not the DPI. when i login the text when i type my username and password are so small it is unreadablke. also when i run VLC media player the whole application is too small to read. also goes for virtualbox [12:12] any ideas?

[12:21] ActionParsnip: the last message of yours made no sense to me [12:21] does ubuntu have default tools to network 2 ubuntu machjnes together, for file sharing? [12:22] linduxed: ive never known usb to not just be detected.

[12:24] relive: are you working with windows and linux? if ony linux you can use nfs [12:24] sacarlson: and what does the command vga=791 do?

[12:42] Angel-SL: i think you do it at configure time [12:42] <`Immortal`> among the 3 s/w which is best for iPod? [12:42] Angel-SL, most everything is package based. [12:42] <`Immortal`> or is that subjective? [12:42] `Immortal`: best is an opinion so is very subjective [12:42] i installed it with my monitor attached, and now when i recplaced it with my lcd, i'm not able to change the resolution [12:42] `Immortal` subjective [12:43] !ipod > `Immortal` [12:43] `Immortal`, please see my private message [12:43] <`Immortal`> k [12:43] Help!

[12:45] dani_: add another, then try that .. if it doesn't freeze there, you can probably narrow down the problem further [12:45] dooner: like it, i'll remember that one :) [12:45] from whre i can check ?

[12:46] <`Immortal`> & i'm on limited b/w [12:47] dani_: then it will be a problem with a config file in your $HOME directory [12:47] what is the gnome log file called ?

[12:48] anyone who knows & who can guide me to get me udf2.50 support in ubuntu? [12:48] ActionParsnip, :) I have computers I do that on. (workstation (everything stored on stable NFS Server). Netbook (who cares). [12:48] is there anyway to add unpartitioned space to my partition of ubuntu [12:48] <`Immortal`> yeah or i'll rummage through the DVD's that i get with my computer magazine [12:48] dani_: I'm not sure there is one .. but you can try looking in $HOME/.xsession-errors [12:48] <`Immortal`> they should have the latest Itunes ver. [12:49] <`Immortal`> have any of you tried Rockbox on your ipod? [12:50] ok, thanks [12:50] `Immortal`, i think that means ditching iTunes [12:50] hi i am trying to remove ubuntu and move it to another computer but i want to restore my partition with out losing my windows data [12:50] <`Immortal`> I hear that battery life will suffer if i shift to it [12:50] Dorobo18jp: that didn't make a lot of sense [12:51] `Immortal`, that might be FUD i think all it does is make it behave like a regular player [12:51] hai [12:51] `Immortal`, might want to ask that in ##linux [12:51] <`Immortal`> k [12:51] `Immortal`: or #rockbox [12:51] or simply check the online docs first `Immortal` [12:51] im using a dual boot right now i want to remove ubuntu and then want to merge the partition with my windows partition with out losing windows info [12:51] Dorobo18jp: (1) you can't move it after you've removed it, (2) restore which partition?, (3) why would you lose anything? [12:52] <`Immortal`> yeah but user opinions would count more [12:52] `Immortal`, true [12:52] Dorobo18jp: do you want to make Windows' NTFS partition use the entire disk? [12:52] yes [12:52] Dorobo18jp: that's not really a Ubuntu question ;) [12:53] good day all [12:53] is there any way to move a partition to dev/sda3? [12:53] Dorobo18jp, there are tools to resize windows partitions (but besides partition magic, I don't know what they are, since I normally and just deleting them :)) [12:53] Dorobo18jp: Gparted might expand an NTFS partition from a Live CD [12:53] well i figure i have to remove ubuntu 1st and have no idea how to do that and since it repartioned my drive i think i would be a fair question [12:53] (after all, it can make them smaller... why not bigger?) [12:53] (I assume it's Gparted, that the Ubuntu installer uses) [12:54] yes [12:54] Dorobo18jp: use gparted live cd [12:54] ok thanks [12:54] <`Immortal`> Dorobo18jp: just get the WIndows installater to format the drive/partition [12:54] Dorobo18jp: I think you just want to delete the ubuntu patition. recreate a new one then reformat it. do it all in windows with partition tool of your choice in windows. [12:55] Hi, I can't change my screen saver :) when I open gnone-screensaver, everything becomes fuzzy and the keyboard does not respond anymore. If I had another computer to access this one, I would do an ssh restart, but I can't so I need to do a hard restart. The question is: how can I disable the screen saver and simply make the screen go blank after x minutes without going through the gui? [12:55] Dorobo18jp: you could always reuse the Ubuntu partition as another NTFS partition [12:55] Dorobo18jp: so you'd have C: and D: under Windows [12:55] Dorobo18jp: one large partition is nicer though [12:55] yes it is [12:55] coolkourt: why would you want to do this? [12:55] <`Immortal`> yeah u could format the Ubuntu partition from Windows using the Disk Manager [12:55] I have problem on scanner on epson multi please help [12:56] piet: well basically i had allowed ubuntu 10gigs, then on my netbook i had like 100gigs just there and i wanna use Gparted to read that spce [12:56] Yanick_: Ctrl+Alt+F6 [12:56] lvlefisto: what does that do? [12:57] lvlefisto, that simply brings me to a console, no? [12:57] ozzmosis: it takes you to a tty6 [12:57] I thought C-A-F1 did that [12:57] coolkourt: so what you want to do is extend the 10 GB partition to 110 GB? [12:57] can any one help me regarding the screen resolution problem [12:57] Yanick_: from the console you can do a safe shutdown [12:57] piet: yea, but there is a lock on the partition i believe [12:58] lvlefisto, it's a good idea to put a blank screen whenever I want, but I want to completely disable screen saver. I'm actually following this thread right now : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=278693 [12:58] or for some reason i cannot extend it [12:58] lvlefisto, you haven't read : the keyboard is frozen with the gui [12:58] hi.. i've just upgraded to 9.04.. the progress bar makes it to the end, and when i expect the Xserver, it doesn't start, the screen is blank, can't even get to shell with ctrl+alt+f1.. any ideas? [12:58] Yanick_: ok, sorry [12:58] `Immortal`: no you could not. partition yes, format no. [12:59] lvlefisto, :) [12:59] `Immortal`: at least not with a file system you would actually want to use [12:59] hey i am using ubuntu persistent how to merge changes i made in casper-rw with that of the main image [13:00] supersasho: so adding to the kernel boot line vga=791 didn't fix it? [13:00] sacarlson: nope [13:00] I can't seem to figure out how to unpack a rar file... unrar-free from the ubuntu repos just returns "All OK!" [13:01] sacarlson, did he put it in the right spot heh [13:01] sacarlson: it gave me a vesa table so i choosed 324 to have 1280x1024x32 but with no effect [13:01] Even if no files are extracted [13:01] coolkourt: there is no such thing as a partition lock. but you should not work on any active partitions and gparted will therefore not allow you to do so. [13:01] supersasho: but you do see things hapen up to the point that the xserver starts. [13:01] coolkourt: use the live cd to change your existing ubuntu partitions [13:01] Jck_true_: what does rar (not unrar) do ? [13:01] is there are rar? [13:01] piet: do i have to install UNR to a flash drive again to do it? [13:01] Jck_true_: yep [13:02] What is the name of the (RFC) dokument, which lists the headlines of all RFCs (and probably some more additional features) and which is updated regularly? [13:02] ozzmosis: It's not in the default repository? [13:02] Jck_true_: it's not "free" [13:02] sacarlson: i just see the loading progress bar or if i do recovery mode i see all the deamons doing ok, no fail at all [13:02] oh right [13:02] she_dyed: supersasho: good point she_dyed [13:02] Which vncconnect (VNC client) will allow me to specify a proxy? [13:02] Give me a second [13:03] Jck_true_: rar t archive.rar to test, rar x archive.rar to extract [13:03] <`Immortal`> later guys [13:03] <`Immortal`> thanks for all the help :) [13:03] sacarlson: yup, i've put it at the end of the line [13:03] coolkourt: actually i'm not sure whether or not UNR has a live cd included since I never used it. If it has, and if you have no cdrom writer and reader, then yes, you will need to do it this way. [13:03] !flash [13:03] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [13:03] piet: ok thanks for your help [13:04] lvlefisto, gconf-editor did the trick [13:04] supersasho: ok sounds like the problem is in the video driver in xserver so you might try edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf change device "vesa" [13:04] sacarlson: like in the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common%20Boot%20Options [13:04] I installed skype through sources when 64 bit wasnt available, any way to remove it from my computer? [13:04] supersasho: util you find a good working driver [13:05] bullgard4: feels a bit OT here, but you'll find it on ietf.org [13:05] supersasho: ya that link looked good but the problem now apears to be in xserver [13:05] coolkourt: you're welcome [13:06] sacarlson: i'll give it a try.. i've got ati hd4830 but the fglrx drivers should from catalyst 9.4 work with xorg 1.6, but maybe it doesnt === ubuntu is now known as dr3mro [13:07] supersasho: ya I see lots of post on ati video problem as of late. [13:07] hey i am using ubuntu persistent how to merge changes i made in casper-rw with that of the main image [13:08] supersasho: set to vesa will just prove the the problem is in you ati driver [13:08] draginx: try using the installer which came with it to remove it [13:08] supersash what model ATi [13:08] /s EFnet [13:09] she_dyed: hd4830 [13:09] Piet, no idea where it is =/ [13:09] before I installed Ubuntu my hard disk activity light was red. now it's orange. true story. [13:09] supersash uber new model oy [13:09] wait i think it did it automatically for me.. it says "unpacking replacement Skype.."

[13:10] draginx: so apparently you had a packaged version installed before [13:10] sacarlson: ok, xorg.conf edited, i'll give it a try... [13:11] supersasho: good luck [13:11] Piet, yeah 32 bit, I guess it wasnt binary :S Well works for me. Thanks mate :) [13:11] This may seem very dumb [13:11] supersasho, always good to have a cold one in the fridge [13:11] how do i verify which Ubuntu version i'm on [13:11] @royalwarecast - Just delete the catalog.cache in your $HOME/.xine dir and restart [13:11] hmm still getting audio playback trouble =/ [13:11] Jck_true_: System -> About Ubuntu [13:11] ozzmosis: VPS... [13:11] draginx: if this is so, and the packaged version you had installed was a well made one, and you had not also installed a non-packaged version, then the old installation should now be gone.

[13:18] ozzmosis: Thanks alot that did the magic :-) [13:18] !tor | mortuis99 [13:18] mortuis99: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [13:18] i want bnx2 to be loaded by /etc/modules [13:18] sacarlson: the vesa drivers in xorg.conf didn't do it either :( [13:19] cptblood: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD [13:19] How can I print (save to txt) the list of files and folders in a dir in Ubuntu 9.04 Gnome? tnx [13:20] e1luca, ls dirname/* > file.txt [13:20] she_dyed: tnx [13:20] e1luca, give us a tough one lol [13:20] mortuis99: depends on what the problem is [13:21] piet can i PM ?

(the dir is on a samba share - where is mounetd?) [13:22] ok i dont want to get in trouble for cutand paste [13:22] e1luca: its great for making m3u playlists [13:22] !pastebin [13:22] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[13:23] hi.. i've just upgraded to 9.04.. the progress bar makes it to the end, and when i expect the Xserver, it doesn't start, the screen is blank, can't even get to shell with ctrl+alt+f1.. any ideas? [13:23] e1luca, i was only kidding *snif* [13:23] ActionParsnip: already done that [13:23] baskingshark: sudo apt-get --reinstall install [13:23] baskingshark: hmm, strange [13:23] supersasho: there are some GRUB options for making the kernel more verbose when booting [13:23] piet http://paste.ubuntu.com/174895/ [13:24] ActionParsnip: its the vmware-workstation that I use [13:24] !runlevel | supersasho [13:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel [13:24] baskingshark: could maybe ask in #vmware it may be a known issue [13:24] she_dyed: me, I was not. I find /smbPublic in /media but no content [13:24] ActionParsnip: thanks [13:25] e1luca, open up your file manager [13:25] supersasho: eg. removing 'quiet' and 'splash' from the entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:25] and i think its in places e1luca [13:25] ozzmosis: done that allready [13:25] ozzmosis: everythings goes [OK] [13:25] supersasho: then you shouldn't be seeing a progress bar [13:25] supersasho: ah === ursula__ is now known as Ursinha [13:26] she_dyed: I see the share in filemanager. I want to find it in midnightcomander also so I can issue the "ls....." [13:26] supersasho: is it freezing completely? can you ping it? can you Ctrl+C anything that's running? [13:26] ozzmosis: i've allready tried to change fglrx driver to vesa, no effect.. also adding vga=791 to boot kernel line didnt helped either [13:26] hi , i haved installed apachetop and get this error: http://rafb.net/p/5lohDA62.html <- can anybody help me? [13:27] ozzmosis: could read thru dmesg | less [13:27] baseline: doesn't look good. a buffer overflow related to glibc... do you have mixed architectures on your system maybe? [13:27] baseline: try asking in #apache , too, maybe they know this issue. [13:27] supersasho: I guess we should see your xorg.conf file can you paste.ubuntu.com it for us to see? [13:27] putri_malu [13:27] ozzmosis: nope, i cant do nothing, not even go to shell.. none of the hotkeys i know helped (ctrl+c ctrl+alt+backspace ctrl+alt+f*) [13:27] mortuis99: oh this line is not a command you run. instead, you put it into your /etc/ap/sources.list or into a file with a '.list' file extension in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [13:28] e1luca, may I pm [13:28] she_dyed: maybe I wasn't clear. I see the share "Public" from my ethernet HD in my filemanager. Now I can't find the path for this to give "ls content.txt" [13:28] she_dyed:pls [13:28] supersasho: I'm not sure whether you're saying the boot process is halting, or X is not working [13:28] she_dyed: please do! [13:28] e1luca: it's mounted in $HOME/.gvfs/ [13:29] mortuis99: you can also do this via gnome using "software sources" if you prefer. [13:29] e1luca: you can drag and drop a file from Nautilus into Terminal and it will copy the filename [13:29] ozzmosis: sacarlson: my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/m47dcbf66 [13:29] e1luca: just like in Windows with Explorer and the Command Prompt (prior to Vista, anyway, when Microsoft broke that feature...) [13:29] HI there everyone ..... [13:29] supersasho: try running without an xorg.conf [13:29] ozzmosis: found it! tnx [13:29] ozzmosis: it boots all fine i guess, i think the problem is X, but i'm not sure [13:30] heed some help for evolution connector/set up with a ME 2003 server [13:30] piet what do i have to add their? [13:30] supersasho: OK, until now I thought you were saying it wouldn't even boot in "safe" mode [13:30] ozzmosis: I wasn't to bright with windows also so... [13:30] supersasho: ozzmosis: can we take out that modules section? comment it out? [13:30] e1luca: that's ok, I've spent too many years using it :) [13:31] mortuis99: but tor is already in jaunty, and a rather current version, too. so it's unlikely that this APT source for _intrepid_ (i.e. not for jaunty!) will give you a more up to date version [13:31] sacarlson: I guess so [13:31] sacarlson: I'd just try without xorg.conf first though [13:31] tor is in jaunty? do ithen just have to install liketorbutton or? [13:31] i've updated my aging acer laptop to 9.04, and Remote Desktop screen refreshes are slooowww (i.e. you can watch the screen repaint when you maximize an application). anyone know if there are any settings I can modify to improve this? [13:32] KaiForce: what are the specs? [13:32] KaiForce: CPU speed mainly [13:32] ozzmosis: supersasho: Load    "glx"    Load    "dbe" must be causing it? [13:32] piet tor is in jaunty? do i then just have to install like tor button or? [13:32] ozzmosis: it just freeze after the whole progress bar is full.. or with no splash, it starts all deamons and when it should go to desktop it just go blank and nothing can be done [13:32] supersasho: the progress bar doesn't use X, afaik [13:33] !info glx [13:33] Package glx does not exist in jaunty === ursula_ is now known as Ursinha [13:33] sacarlson: hmm, can try to comment it out, but in 8.10 it was just fine [13:33] hay............. [13:33] Piet: Using your hint, I found the document. -- Thank you. [13:33] mortuis99: i suggest you forget about this line you pastebinned and instead just use a package manager to install tor [13:33] ozzmosis: it does not [13:33] mortuis99: use "add/remove applications" or "synaptic" [13:34] mortuis99: yes it should be in jaunty. and you can install tor-button if you like (don't have to, of course) [13:34] ozzmosis celeron M 1300Mhz [13:34] I installed TOR just the other day. :) [13:34] ozzmosis i know its lame, i use it mainly as a winterm [13:34] mortuis99: hmm weird tor is actually not in jaunty [13:34] Tor - is not in the default repos. it dident make it in time. [13:34] there was some issues with a maintainer. [13:34] sacarlson: ozzmosis: i'll try to comment out the modules and report back if it was successful [13:34] Hello. I have no luck with fiding any info on google. My problem is: I have dell poweredge r200 server with SATA. I run on it linux. I have 2 Sata hdd - both seen by BIOS and windows installer, but not by linux. Any idea? [13:34]  supersasho: I'm running 8.04 and no modules like that in mine [13:35] I used the TOR repositories to get Tor. [13:35] hi everyone [13:35] mortuis99: see what Dr_Willis is saying [13:35] KaiForce: that's not too bad. I'm on a 1.5 GHz desktop atm. :) and have a 700 MHz P3 with 9.04 on it. it seems to run OK. [13:35] mortuis99: --> deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor jaunty main [13:35] ozzmosis ok, i'll take a look at the rdesktop settings and see if there is anything I can tweak [13:35] Then you will also want that tor-button, and a few other things. [13:36] 9.04 seems to have fixed the sound issue I was having with this Acer. It would just stop working after a few minutes of using sound [13:36] mortuis99: so you were already very close to it. ;-) [13:36] KaiForce: I can use rdesktop fine over a 10 mbit link from the 700 MHz laptop to a 2.0 GHz XP box [13:37] !info nvidia [13:37] Package nvidia does not exist in jaunty [13:37] can I exit the buddy list without quiting from pidgin? [13:37] KaiForce: if you're sure it's not a network problem, maybe you need to check your Xorg drivers? [13:37] !nvidia [13:37] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:37] royalwarecast→ Yep, hit the close button :) [13:37] has anyone had sucess in running the InstantAction games? [13:37] royalwarecast: i thought it made a icon in the system-tray when you closed it. [13:37] royalwarecast: it minimises to the tray at the top (near the clock) [13:37] ozzmosis OK, i'll try tweaking it. rdesktop was just working fine before the upgrade, very good performance. I'll bet a default setting changed or I'm using a command line option I shouldn't be [13:38] but when I close the buddy list then the whole apps turned off [13:40] Can anyone comment on game performance using QEMU and windoes? [13:40] Rizrn, yeah it is very bad because you can only use 32 VRAM [13:40] Rizrn: might have more luck with VMware or VirtualBox [13:40] Rizrn: most likely.. it stinks. :) [13:41] ah ok thanks [13:41] hi i am following this tutorial to install my webcam : http://foros.ubuntu-cl.org/viewtopic.php?t=2442 , but after doing all the process i get to a point where i do "sudo modprobe stk11xx " and comes out with this message : FATAL: Error inserting stk11xx (/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/media/stk11xx.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) [13:41] any ideas ?

[13:42] #ubuntufr [13:43] I'm attempting to run wmii in Ubuntu on a dual monitor setup without Xinerama and I need one instance of wmii to open on each display, but I don't see an xinitrc or an xsession file I should editting to let GDM or the system know what to do when I log in, does anyone know what file i'm looking for and where it resides? === ris_ is now known as rsajdok [13:43] Does anyone know the most recent working nvidia driver for ubuntu? [13:44] bcpeters: xinitrc --> /etc/X11/xinitrc [13:44] hi all. I recently acquired a VPS running Ubuntu 8.04. When I ssh into the server, the very first thing I noticed is that I cannot use the tab key very well to auto-complete things...for example, 'apt-g'+tab will complete 'apt-get', then followed by 'in'+tab would usually fill in the command 'install' but it isn't and if i just type it in , whats worse is not being able to then use tab completion to find packages... [13:44] parapanghelescu: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/10/24/use-evolution-with-microsoft-exchange-ubuntu-606-610/ [13:44] bcpeters: sounds like you need 2 x servers, one for each screen [13:44] Vixen-: what video card do you use? [13:44] using an x server for each screen.. can be a big hassle [13:45] j0nr: Sounds like a bad installation of Ubuntu [13:45] ActionParsnip: Hallo again. It's a Geforce 6 or 7 [13:45] bcpeters, twin view? maybe [13:45] Dr_Willis, i agree [13:45] how do I add new resolutions to the list offered by gnome-display-properties ? [13:45] j0nr: or sometimes is the connection is really bad that happens [13:45] Dr_Willis: i was confused about Ubuntu's /etc/X11/xinitrc , as all is listed there is gnome-session . /etc/X11/Xsession [13:45] Vixen-: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [13:45] exec gnome-settings-daemon & [13:45] ActionParsnip: Actually, I tried installing the one I have, by your instructions. I got to the boot command line, it told me it didn't have a kernel module [13:46] ActionParsnip: I have the xorg.conf setup properly.. i have a Matrox Millenium G450 DualHead [13:46] Daviey: jmburgess the same has happened on two seperate VPS hosts. [13:46] ActionParsnip: Installed it anyway, didn't work, had to revert to old config =[ [13:46] Vixen-: you didnt have all the deps to make the nvidia kernel module. [13:46] royalwarecast, it should just minimise to tray [13:46] im haveing a look thru the options now [13:46] alice2: the only way I know how to do that is through editing your xorg.conf [13:46] bcpeters > I've been there ..... [13:46] ActionParsnip: That might've been the problem, though I'll bugger that, and try the apt-get version =] [13:46] Vixen-: the kernel source should be pulled down and DKMS will take place to create the nvidia module you need [13:46] didn't helped ... [13:46] Daviey: yeah it could still be you connection (as in your local ISP) [13:46] she_dyed: xorg.conf is setup properly, basically I'm trying to accomplish this, I need to know where to put these DISPLAAY settings from wmii DISPLAY=:0.0 wmii & [13:46] jmburgess: hmm, ok [13:47] DISPLAY=:0.1 exec wmii [13:47] made a mess of that last time though :e [13:47] ActionParsnip: Is that if I use the apt-get command> [13:47] ? [13:47] thats in xinitrc bcpeters like Dr_Willis said [13:47] X eats up to 99% cpu when I type fast / hold keys down. What could be causing this? [13:48] Jhodas: does it need a plug-in to be available? [13:48] alice2: yeah it is annoying, but check out this link, it might help http://linuxandfriends.com/2009/02/13/change-screen-resolution-in-ubuntu-linux/ [13:48] she_dyed: ok thanks, I'll give it a try. That file just looked a little under complex.. as my openbox, gnome, etc aren't currently listed there [13:48] royalwarecast, dont think so [13:48] she_dyed: why would those sessions not be listed? [13:48] you can make your own .xinitrc in ~ [13:49] you can make your own .xinitrc in ~ bcpeters [13:49] thats it, you have to have a conversation open [13:49] bcpeters: gdm get the session listinsg from various .desktop files. not from xinitrc [13:49] she_dyed: but will they still play well with GDM or is that just a startx thing? [13:49] sacarlson: ozzmosis: after commenting the modules in xorg.conf it did something, here's the picture http://yfrog.com/6tdsc00611wj [13:49] Jhodas: I have no idea now [13:49] jmburgess: thanks [13:50] heh - xinitrc just calls /etc/X11/Xsession :) [13:50] bcpeters, if you're the only one ever logging on to that PC, and you want them sessions bad, I might consider disabling GDM [13:50] royalwarecast, there are two things you need to do to stop pidgin quitting if you close the buddy list: [13:50] Jhodas: so what are they? [13:50] supersasho: wow cool that's progress for ya [13:50] k she_dyed, thanks. and thanx Dr_Willis [13:50] Tools>preferences>Interface [13:51] choose 'always' from the 'show system tray icon' [13:51] sacarlson: yes a progress, but still away what my destkop used to be :) [13:51] actually, thats the only one, [13:51] o.) === Yoda is now known as JohnCane [13:51] now when you close it it just goes to the tray, you have to rightclick there to close it properly [13:52] sacarlson: any ideas what should i do next? [13:52] Hi there ... i have a problem, after i installed to 9.04 my computer have frozzen a lot of times, someone there knows why :( ? [13:52] JohnCane: does anything in particular cause it to freeze? [13:53] supersasho: if vesa don't work what could? ask these guys about getting a better ati driver. or maybe go back to the last one with out those modules [13:53] jmburgess: No it does it on the weirdest times... i can sit and just watch a movie and then it can frezze or sit and write a text message to one of my friend and also frezze :( [13:53] hello... anybody know what is the purpose of the F9 default effect in Ubuntu ? (This is a compiz stuff I think, which dims the screen) I would like to disable that, how to do it? thanks [13:54] supersasho: I am still quite sure the problem is in the xserver video driver. [13:54] sacarlson, ime if you dont give it the right vga= at boot the rest of the boot might go downhill qui-wise [13:55] How come Jaunty doesn't come with the glxinfo command? I tried to use apt-file to find what package it's in but it turned up nothing [13:55] HI GAYS [13:55] supersasho: she_dyed: ok that another idea take out the vga=xxx line at this point see what that does [13:55] sacarlson: hmm, i could try fglrx, but wont it use the old one from the 8.10? cause the old one doesnt support the x1.6.. ok i'll try remove the vga=795 part [13:55] jmburgess: No it does it on the weirdest times... i can sit and just watch a movie and then it can frezze or sit and write a text message to one of my friend and also frezze :( [13:55] sacarlson, give it a decent one not too high depth [13:55] sacarlson, taking it out will give you vesa [13:56] JohnCane: so I take it ran well for a while before you upgraded to jaunty? also, did you change anything else besides upgrading to jaunty (like added or removed hardware, changed BIOS settings etc)? [13:56] xrfang: also when you say freezing I assume you mean everything like dims [13:56] Piet: Yes it was just after i upgraded .. no nothing at all :O [13:56] she_dyed: supersasho: you think 24 is to deep for vesa? [13:56] Vixen-: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 [13:57] sacarlson, 24 is ambitious [13:57] Vixen-: i think theres a lil app that will help you install the drivers [13:57] Vixen-: sorry i bailed, had a meeting [13:57] ActionParsnip: Ah, no problem man [13:57] xrfang: sorry I mean that for JohnCane [13:57] jmburgess, yes everything dims, but if you click mouse anywhere on screen [13:57] oh :p [13:57] X eats up to 99% cpu when I type fast / hold keys down. What could be causing this? [13:58]  she_dyed: so you think 16 is safe? [13:58] jmburgess: yes, everything frezzez and i have to restart my computer :( [13:58] ActionParsnip: I'm thinking trying to install that other nvidia driver was a bad idea [13:58] sacarlson, yes i would go to the manual of my screen [13:58] nijm: mesa-utils is the package you are looking for, i think [13:58] I'm trying to get zlib support in Python 2.5.4 on Ubuntu 9.10....any ideas? [13:58] xrfang: well I can help you to, so that is a compiz effect, I am not sure which one but I think the only way to disable it is toe install the compizconfig-settings-manager [13:58] Piet, thanks :-) [13:58] hay.................. [13:58] jmburgess, thanks [13:59] sacarlson, you can put a 3 at the end of boot so it starts in terminal mode [13:59] JohnCane: please pastebin /var/log/messages [13:59] Vixen-: you can remove it surely. I'm unsure myself as I always use the repo [13:59] sacarlson: dont know, i've used in fglrx with no problems at all, in vesa i do not know [13:59] sacarlson, this can aid you while you're troubleshooting X [14:00] nijm: you're welcome. did you run apt-file update before searching? this could explain why you did not find it [14:00] ActionParsnip: After installing, it went into low gfx mode, said the kernel module wasn't there, then said it reverted to before the install [14:00]  she_dyed: 3 being vga=3? [14:00] sacarlson, no [14:00] ActionParsnip: though since that, Wine isn't working [14:00] does opera have the function like the "Yet Another Smooth Scroll"——a plugin in firefox ? [14:00] Piet, no because I updated it recently. That must be why though. [14:00] sacarlson, that is called runlevel iirc [14:00] hi [14:00] does runlevel 3 not run gdm ? i dident think ubuntu worked that way the way it used upstart and the gdm services [14:00] sacarlson, just a 3 means command Line interface [14:01] sacarlson, Dr_Willis has brought up a point [14:01] runlevel 3 has 'gdm' in it here from what i see... [14:01] does anyone know, why is ubuntu 9.04 subject to the sound havoc? [14:01] thanks Dr_Willis [14:01] everyone I know has a sound problem! [14:01] !alsa [14:01] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [14:01] how can he start in CLI Dr_Willis [14:01] <_Ranakah> ubuntu 9.04 is biggest bug on the world!!! [14:02] w00t [14:02] yeah, yeah. I figured it out already [14:02] she_dyed: cold try the 'single' optuon at the end.. [14:02] my question is why it was done [14:02] it's less buggy than intrepid... [14:02] DexterLB: intrepid was working nearly perfectly for me [14:02] <_Ranakah> nothing work in jaunty... that sux [14:02] :-[ [14:02] thanks Dr_Willis, sacarlson you see that 'single' [14:02] <_Ranakah> intrepid work perfect! [14:02] for me it's the oposite [14:02] helooo geeks [14:02] hello [14:02] so who decided to make this god damn pulseaudio the default? [14:02] _Ranakah: demand a refund? or just rant some more in the channel perhaps? [14:02] yaa intrepids work fine [14:03] I'm still on xubuntu 7.04 :-) [14:03] most of the things that didn't work in intrepid work in jaunty for me... [14:03] jaunty has some bugs [14:03] supersasho: she_dyed: fglrx I take it is the propriatary isn't there an open working ati dirver? [14:03] google it [14:03] <_Ranakah> ati in jaunty.. don't work... wireles? omg.. sound??? freezing.. [14:03] jaunty does every sin it can. it hangs, it's slow, it removed the usable Amarok version, replacing it with the KDE4 shit, etc. [14:03] anyway, does anyone know which of these VNC encodings is the most compressive/fast? [14:03] tight zrle zywrle zlib [14:03] in another distro sacarlson 'ati' driver gives you enough [14:04] if u change desktop effects into xtra ..jaunty freezes [14:04] <_Ranakah> in intrepid all ati cards work fine.. in jaunty... only some card.. sux [14:04] its true [14:04] sacarlson 'ati' as a fallback only 2d no glitz i am not 100% [14:04] Vixen-: you need to drop back to the nv driver and uninstall the nvidia driver you installed from the .run file [14:05] I get weird graphical artifacts with fglrx in Jaunty. parts of the background in random apps turn black at random moments === stooge is now known as Stooge [14:05] ActionParsnip: Any idea how I do that? [14:05] Jaunty is THE shittiest Ubuntu version I every tried! [14:05] sacarlson: actually there are three: ati, radeon, radeonhd [14:05] nfrs: then go use the older release. [14:05] need some help with my ATI card [14:05] Dr_Willis: I can't. no "downgrade" option [14:06] nfrs: reinstall or just waste time ranting more... [14:06] Hola [14:06] i try trans files with crosscable /ethernet via nfs. but it failed. does that have to do with my nic card's buffer? [14:06] Vixen-: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then reboot [14:06] Dr_Willis: I'm not ranting. I'm forming the community opinion [14:06] plze could someone help me? [14:06] it's about 4 GB of files [14:06] ActionParsnip: Cheers man, I'll do that, then get back on [14:06] !ask | h4ck3rs0nly [14:06] h4ck3rs0nly: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:06] nfrs: you are ranting. and its not helping the 'support' aspect of the channel [14:07] what is the question [14:07] i need to know how the edit my xorg.conf file [14:07] h4ck3rs0nly: 1'm n00t 4 h4ck3r, 50 1 c4n't h3Lp u [14:07] hello all! I'm a complete noob. Just stopping by to learn, if i can [14:08] h4ck3rs0nly: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:08] h4ck3rs0nly: you just do sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:08] h4ck3rs0nly, make a copy first [14:08] h4ck3rs0nly: its fairly redundant now but can still be used [14:08] !editor > h4ck3rs0nly [14:08] h4ck3rs0nly, please see my private message [14:08] thank you, but i i'm over there and need to know how to add a driver [14:08] Dr_Willis: just give me my money back, and I'll leave you all alone :))) [14:09] Piet: and they all work  ati, radeon, radeonhd, what is the most stable at this time? seems vesa not working now for ati in 9.04 [14:09] anyone cross compiled e2fsprogs? [14:09] Dr_Willis: actually, I just wanted to understand, why and how it happened. if it was a minor collision and is this error recognized [14:09] how do i add an ATI fglrx driver into my xorg.conf file? [14:10] !welcome houdin8888 [14:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:10] Dr_Willis: I think these are legit questions to ask, so don't shut me [14:10] sacarlson: vesa is mostly a fallback driver, so it should work for any graphics adapter and chipsets (may require some tweaking, though). which of the open source drivers fits your chipset is something you will need to read up on. [14:10] nfrs: from what i gather.. ati saw the work being done on the open sourced ati drivers..and decided (prematurely) toremove support for a great many of their cards from their propriatary drivers . cards that the open source driver 'barely' support [14:11] hi, in my pc i have a windows partition with ubuntu, but when i login to windows i cant see the ubuntu partition. how can i read my ubuntu hard drive when im using windows xp? [14:11] sacarlson: unfortunately ati has not done a very good job in respect to linux driver development lately. [14:11] nfrs: and ati dident keep up with the devemopment of the newer featuires of the Xorg stuff either. [14:11] * Dr_Willis agrees with Piet [14:11] to mymno: cant [14:11] Hymnosis, http://fs-driver.org/ [14:11] <_Dulak> JohnCane: you have the compiz effects enabled? [14:11] Dr_Willis: I'm not talking about this at all. I'm talking specifically of the sound problems that plague everyone and in general of the quality of this release [14:12] nfrs: no idea on soundproblems.. i haventhad any..and ive rarely seen soundproblems mentioned in here. [14:12] how do i add an ATI fglrx driver into my xorg.conf file? [14:12] does opera have the function like the "Yet Another Smooth Scroll"——a plugin in firefox ? [14:12] i tried that program but it ask if i want to format the drive, which i dont to format ubuntu [14:12] Dr_Willis: everyone I know has a sound problem. pulse audio simply doesn't work [14:12] !ati > h4ck3rs0nly [14:12] h4ck3rs0nly, please see my private message === _Dulak is now known as Dulak [14:13] !wine [14:13] 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 [14:13] Dr_Willis: so I'd like to know, why the hell was it pushed as default setting during the upgrade? [14:13] nfrs: ive never had any issues with pulse audio. Ive seen fewer people in here with pulse issues.. then i did 4 + mo ago with the last release came out. [14:13] Hmm . Pulse audio was the default in the last release also I thought. [14:13] Hymnosis, I haven't tried it yet. [14:13] Dr_Willis: I might be forgetting it. but I know I was using alsa before the last upgrade [14:14] nfrs: PULSE audio does use alsa.. [14:14] please could somewone me? i need to know how to add a driver into my xorg.conf file [14:14] Dr_Willis: and?.. [14:14] h4ck3rs0nly: you could change the 'Driver 'ati' ' line tobe 'Driver 'fglrx' ' but i doubt if that will help [14:14] Evolution and Microsoft exchange 2003 anyone ???? [14:14] Dr_Willis: I was using alsa directly, not pulse audio [14:14] ok thank you [14:14] nfrs: you were using alsa..and you still are using alsa.. pulse runs on top of alsa. - if you want change it back i guess. [14:14] what about evolution? [14:15] and where do i need to add that? [14:15] hiiiiiiiiiiii [14:15] i mean wich line? [14:15] Dr_Willis: I suddenly lost sound after the upgrade. took time to understand, what happened and what needs to be done. and I do have some experience. some people don't [14:15] spaiduhz > I set up the e-mail account .....I'm able to send messages ..but I cannot get messages in my Inbox [14:15] h4ck3rs0nly: should be a 'Driver XXXX' line. [14:15] there isnt =[ [14:16] h4ck3rs0nly: you did install the 'fglrx' drivers? Normally one dosent need to mess with xorg.conf these days [14:16] just did, but didnt restart my computer [14:16] h4ck3rs0nly: normally one reboots after installing them. [14:16]  h4ck3rs0nly: it's under the Section "Device" [14:16] Dr_Willis: anyway,thanks for your answers [14:17] ok ty, ill try o restart [14:17] nfrs: the forums proberly have huge threads on the issues that are going on.

I think I see your eye, btw :) [14:21] y helo thar, matisse [14:21] Has kdar been remove from 8.10 ditro? [14:21] Decepticon: iowait=Amount of time the CPU has been waiting for I/O to complete. [14:22] Piet so my disk is being slow in read/write? [14:22] why does this take up CPU [14:22] With Alsa: is it possible to send sound signals to 2 sound cards (onboard + plugged) or if not is it possible to reverse a input channel to an output channel? [14:22] tiredbones, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=kdar looks so [14:22] Decepticon: yes it can be your disks. [14:22] is there any php developers here, i cant get in #php [14:22] ok i displayed GDM and put the following in my ~/.xinitrc DISPLAY=:0.0 wmii &, DISPLAY=:0.1 exec wmii (each on their own line). Now when I startx, I get 2 instances of X, each running an instance of wmii. My mouse can travel across both screens, I can't drag windows from one to another (as expected, so that's ok) but my primary screen will not accept keyboard commands at all. Here's my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/174918/ [14:22] Piet, if the disk is being slow, why wont it just queue the disk i/o operations and forget about it until its ready instead of hogging CPU [14:22] all, I want to install sdk/emulator for developing mobile apps in netbeans. I've installed netbeans, then how to add the sdk/emulator platform? [14:23] I've already installed plugin java me cdc [14:23] would someone suggest a good sound card for use in UBUNTU? I've really struggled (unsuccessfully) getting my Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro card to function.. i wish i could, but, i'm too stupid, i guess. [14:24] curious, whats the use of a sound card these days? [14:24] . [14:24] hughszg: that's the tough part :) I wasn't able to find a Nokia SDK for linux. maybe you'll have more luck with your phone [14:24] is integrated sound from mobo not good enough in today's world? [14:24] nfrs what nokia do you have [14:25] hughszg: there's some emulator by Sun (dunno, for which devices), but it only works on 32-bit systems [14:25] nfrs: i have blackberry pearl 8110 :) [14:25] Decepticon: I assume that since cpu can not offload i/o data quickly enough it gets under high load. [14:25] Decepticon: 6201 (I think) [14:25] nfrs: mine is 32 bit [14:25] hughszg: then go ahead and install it [14:25] houdin8888: if you still have the card physically installed, please pastebin the output of this: sudo lspci -n && sudo lspci [14:25] guys im running windows 7 atm i have my os on 150 gig partition and my backup on 50 gig partition when installing ubuntu will it give me the option to resize my windows 7 partition to fit in ubuntu [14:25] Piet: users can run lspci [14:25] is there a command to list all recognized sound cards? [14:25] Piet: no need for sudo ;) [14:26] nfrs: what i want to is that how can I get an emulator pop out, not specified to blackberry. [14:26] Matisse: sudo lshw -C sound [14:26] ActionParsnip: ah right [14:26] ranf, I used synaptic to install and it could not find it. I did use ALL for the search. Do I have to tell synaptic to look at universe? [14:26] guys im running windows 7 atm i have my os on 150 gig partition and my backup on 50 gig partition when installing ubuntu will it give me the option to resize my windows 7 partition to fit in ubuntu [14:26] Piet: conversely lshw moans if you dont use sudo. no idea why its needed [14:26] hughszg: I know. so download the Sun's emulator. I didn't try it, but I guess it should wokr [14:26] *work [14:26] 'cause according to the documentation, I should have an emulator installed since I installed Java ME CDC installed [14:26] there is a pop-up item in menu for all input fields available in gentoo's gnome to switch the spellchecking language in pidgin, xchat and so on... is there a package witch brings this feature to ubuntu too? [14:27] How can I give a client access to my server with SSH and keep him chroot jailed so that he can't see/touch my other files? [14:27] nfrs: does that mean the plugin(java me CDC) i installed is useless? [14:27] guys im running windows 7 atm i have my os on 150 gig partition and my backup on 50 gig partition when installing ubuntu will it give me the option to resize my windows 7 partition to fit in ubuntu [14:27] ActionParsnip: i assume lshw actually rescans the bus while lspci just uses the information already available to the kernel [14:27] hughszg: no idea [14:27] tiredbones, it used to exist in dapper only. What ubuntu version do you have? [14:27] ok, thank you, mate [14:28] does anyone in here know how to modify themes?

[14:51] it could be that your cdrom drive has "issues" with the cd. [14:51] Daremonai: if you dont have very sensitive data [14:51] is there ne1 that can help me [14:51] try doing what this guy did: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=220703 [14:51] Daremonai: yeah...thats why its safe not to keep your data on ext4 [14:51] Piet: it wont let me [14:52] though tbh, its been forever since i messed around with irq settings, anywhere [14:52] Piet: i get this errror IEs4Linux 2 is developed to be used with recent Wine versions (0.9.x).

I can't play around with my 750 GBs [14:53] [16:52:03] shadeslayer, I had to use 9 different hard disks just to back them up so i can format from ntfs to ext* [14:53] Piet: ok what would the problem be?

[14:56] So by using ext4 on your / and /home partitions.. do you really gain much of a preformace gain? [14:56] shadeslayer: but the problem is i can't go into the graphic desktop.. i can just use the safe mode and then choose root terminal or it freezes before starting X [14:56] Ive been testing out ext4 on some test machines.. and cant really see much of a gain. BUt they are older box's [14:56] Piet: are you still there? I put the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/174931/. did you see it, yet?

[14:59] Piet , after running http://paste.ubuntu.com/174939/ [14:59] shadeslayer, that's perfect. Coz I have 6 hard disks with ext3 on them, formatting all of em wouldn't be nice... So i stick with ext3 now, and upgrade to ext4 when it's more stable? [14:59] cptblood: basically, my suggestion is, so not use blue ray, it is a worse format than much that has been there before, it even embeds a virtual machine and runs code without you knowing what and why inside it. [14:59] houdin8888: didn't see the URL yet, but will have a look now [15:00] dam0: i think the only problem is that you have not yet installed cabextract [15:00] i wanna run it, and dont care what code it may run, i wanna enjoy my bluray movies [15:00] cptblood: become root before running the patch. but still, i don't think it will work [15:00] Daremonai: yep...see http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto [15:00] i did run it as root [15:00] tryagainhentai have you tried with -noapic?

[15:34] ubuntu is giving me a lot of grief [15:34] :) [15:34] valleydaddy78: such as> [15:35] cptblood: according to this page on the ubuntu wiki you should not need the patch if you're on a newer release [15:35] i got hardy heron and it wont install [15:35] valleydaddy78: hardy is eol i think [15:35] dell mini 9 ispiron [15:35] i tried my ubuntu 8.04 disc when i hit install the load bar comes up when thats done screen flickers then goes black for about 2 minutes then ubuntu goes into command line i get no GUI like i should so i figured graphics card maybe not compatable its quite a recent laptop so i tried start x screen went black again for 2 minutes then gave error INTEL - no matching device section for instance [15:35] valleydaddy78: how about jaunty jackalope [15:36] valleydaddy78: for a netbook, you may want to use the Netbook-remix. [15:36] i also tried f4 safe graphics mode but got a screen full of snow [15:36] any ideas anyone [15:36] <_Brun0_> I have an Radeon Mobility M6 LY and I've found tutorials on the internet on how to install it but all of them tell to change xaorg.conf and canging it is not recommended in Ubuntu 9.04. Is there an easier way to install/enable ati open source driver? [15:36] hello, i have a problem: my ubuntu 9.04 freezes in 50seconds after startup (even caps lock control is dead), i can only reset computer. i think there can be some troubles with my graphic card (asus ati x1600). please help :) [15:36] _Brun0_: the ati open sourced drivers should be installed allready. [15:36] i tried that before i went and bought this book and cd [15:37] the actual error is that python2.6 conflicts with installed package python-central ;\ [15:37] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, is this it? Kernel modules: radeonfb [15:37] valleydaddy78: hardy heron is rather.. old.. I hope you dident pay a lot for the book. [15:37] _Brun0_: that looks like a framebuffer module to me. [15:38] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, thats my concern. [15:38] this is 3rd additin they even talk about mac os x in this book [15:38] X has its own drivers.. then theres kernel modules taht are used by the X drivers. [15:38] valleydaddy78: OS-X has been out for quite some time.. :) [15:38] !hardy [15:38] Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. [15:38] i'm having trouble sharing folders un 9.04 [15:38] tryagainhentai: why don't you use a current ubuntu release? [15:38] Guess Hardy is only a year old. ::) [15:39] ive ammended smb.conf but still get error 255 when trying to share [15:39] Anyone connected to a VNC server through a proxy? [15:39] its an external usb i mounted in /media/1tb [15:39] laxa8831: you instaled the samba service? [15:39] willis: yeah [15:39] enabled it [15:39] damn it takes a long time for those i sos to down load plus im a noob to ubuntu i love redhat though [15:40] valleydaddy78: many linux mags have the latest ubuntu on disk with them. [15:40] Hi... anyone know how to convert a .sh to a .deb? [15:40] and slax is cool to [15:40] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, do you knwo how can I isntall ati driver? [15:40] valleydaddy78: you can get one for free too [15:40] Dr_Willis, valleydaddy78 Hardy is LTS as well, But Still for a netbook like the mini-9 I would either user Jaunty UNR or the Dell Branded ubuntu available from their site (which is based on jaunty with some stuff removed due to licenese issues) [15:40] laxa8831: give the user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' ? [15:40] _Brun0_: i avoide ati cards like they had teh SwineFLue.. [15:41] dooner: Yea.. the UNR worked great for my AAO netbook. [15:41] may im just not for it but i cant get it to install on my netbook [15:41] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, very helpful! I'll go and buy an nvidia card. OHHH i forgot. i'm using a old laptop. Thanks. Great support. Don't waste my time if answering things like that don't even try. [15:41] chazco: it's not really something you can do... they are different things [15:42] i tried to get remix to work for a week [15:42] Dr_Willis, Typing this on a AAO running jaunty unr as well [15:42] how do i install glib ?? whats the package name? [15:42] Slart - Ah... fair enough, was wondering if there was something like checkinstall but for scripts. Thanks anyway :) [15:42] installing radeon drivers is not that difficult. [15:42] chazco: you could of course include the sh file in a package and then make it run the sh file when installed.. but I don't think that is what you want to do [15:42] _Brun0_: ive made it a point to NEVER buy any more ati stuff.. I cant really give much advice if I dont have them any more can i.... [15:43] _Brun0_: you may want to rember the ati issues when next shopping. [15:43] Slart - Considered that but the script takes input and so on (its a touchscreen driver) [15:43] willis: not yet [15:43] _Brun0_: you can install the fglrx package fromt he repos easially enough.. getting them to work.. is the bigger issue at this time due to ati's messing with the drivers. [15:43] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, Shopping? You think I shoopped an old laptop? Its for my job. Your talking purely off-topic nonsense stuff. [15:43] krishna__, I'm trying to check links for the web site I manage. [15:44] chazco: ah.. well.. I don't know of a way, sorry [15:44] Slart - Fair enough, thanks anyway :) [15:44] is there a link validator for ubuntu? [15:44] _Brun0_: You are asking me personally for help.. and im giveing your my advice.. do what you want. I avoide even helping/suggesting stuff to people with ati cards.. YOU asked ME personally a question. [15:44] preferable one that can check a site recursively... [15:44] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, i see you don't know what youre talking about. ATI has always messed their drivers.. Thats why i'm putting OS driver. [15:45] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, i never aked you for help.. I asked this channel for help. [15:45] _Brun0_: the GPL driver is allready installed by default. the 'Driver 'ati'' line in xorg.conf should be using it. [15:45] willis: same problem, says that i can only share folders i own [15:45] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, then you came to me and said? buy another card. LOOOOL [15:45] i'm not getting sound in rhythmbox .. what may be the problem ? [15:45] _Brun0_: no...you directed it to Dr_Disk [15:45] j0ve: :) [15:45] Anyone know of a laptop that works perfectly with jaunty? Specs: 13.3" 1280x800 display, depth no greater than 9.0", weight no greater than 4.5 lbs. The XPS M1330n is a little big for a 13.3" display. [15:45] _Brun0_: lastlog says you directed the question directly to Dr_Willis ... you might want to look at the !attitude factoid [15:45] Hello What is the terminal command to check what the BusID is? [15:46] at least i think the line in xorg.conf is " driver 'ati' " [15:46] <_Brun0_> j0ve, no read the chat.. He came and answered my question b4.\ [15:46] tpratt ThinkPad X60, X61 [15:46] _Brun0_: <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, do you knwo how can I isntall ati driver? [15:46] tpratt: my M1530 works perfectly [15:46] BLTnoTomato: wget --spider? [15:46] tpratt: thats what im using now [15:46] <_Brun0_> Slart, read carfully the chat. My first question was to channel. === chibi is now known as Guest94991 [15:46] laxa8831: M1330n? [15:46] What is the terminal command to check what the BusID is? [15:46] <_Brun0_> j0ve, i asked my question before.. Read carefully please. [15:46] : yup [15:46] tpratt: yup [15:46] the fact remains the 'ati' Open sourced driver - is installed by default. I think. (anyone care to confirm this?) [15:47] !find ati [15:47] Found: binutils-static, evolution-documentation-cs, evolution-documentation-de, evolution-documentation-el, evolution-documentation-en (and 275 others) [15:47] <_Brun0_> I told you my driver isnt ati by defualt. Its a framebuffer. [15:47] What is the terminal command to check what the BusID is? [15:47] ok im downloading remix 2hr i have to wait [15:47] j0ve lspci | grep -i vga should show you the right pci port for setting up the video card in your xorg [15:47] Dr_Willis: I have been trying to get my ati working with 3D for a week. I agree with your assessment and have resigned myself to leaving it as is [15:47] how do i install GLIB ? [15:47] _Brun0_: you can load the 'kernel framebuffer' module to get a 'framebuffer' for the Console. thats not really anything todo with the X driver. [15:48] #chatulous [15:48] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, As I told you before: lspci -v shows this as my driver for vga: Kernel modules: radeonfb. See my point? === Qtpaxa2 is now known as Qtpaxa [15:49] Stevko, wget spider? === aubretigre is now known as aubre [15:49] _Brun0_: in thinking thats showing the 'framebuffer' driver. Not the X driver. [15:49] #iphone [15:49] valleydaddy78: please stop [15:49] valleydaddy78: You need to type /join before the channel name. [15:50] stop what [15:50] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_osx_64bit&num=11 [15:50] i need to get to those rooms [15:50] valleydaddy78: ok then /j #room [15:50] valleydaddy78: then use /join #channelname [15:50] ok [15:50] What is the terminal command to check what the BusID is? [15:51] can anyone tell me how to increase the size of the swapfile in Ubuntu 9.04..after it's all up and running? === dasdaa is now known as dasda [15:51] syberhunter: you normally use a swap partition. You can make more swap 'files' if you want if you need more swap. === k is now known as Guest2544 [15:52] syberhunter: you can use swap files and swap partitions combined.. or several swap partitions also. [15:52] syberhunter: or all of the above [15:52] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.com/md61fffd from line 105 to 121 shows its the only driver it reports. So I guess its the device driver there. === Guest94991 is now known as chibihogoshino [15:53] which filesystem would you recommend for a separate /boot? ext2 3 or 4? Is there any good reason for journaling for /boot? [15:53] _Brun0_: yes. to enable the 'console framebuffer for that card' you would 'modprobe radeonfb' that will allow you higher resolutions and extra features on the consoles. [15:54] Dr_Willis is there a program or app to do that? [15:54] syberhunter: never noticed. just following the various swap howtos makign a new swap file takes just a few min. [15:54] Bob3: if you mean devices on the pci bus, try "lspci -vmm" [15:54] * shadeslayer realizes he didnt apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade [15:54] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, i wanted to use the open source ATI driver for better performance in X. [15:55] syberhunter: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ [15:55] Hello. I need a good, low-resource-consuming feedreader that will pop up bubbles or something when a feed updates. Any recommendations? [15:55] !feed [15:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about feed [15:55] Dr_Willis..ty [15:55] _Brun0_: radeonfb is not for X. its for the console. [15:56] laxa8831: Did the M1330n come with the slot-loading optical drive? [15:56] * Dr_Willis is recalling the months he toyed with the Framebuffer console features a year ago. === syntax- is now known as syntaxxx [15:56] Hi there. Am about to by my first SAS controller card and a SAS disk. I got one problem. What cable should be used between these two? [15:56] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, lol i knwo that. But what is my lap using for x then? [15:56] tpratt: m1330n ?? or just the m1330 ? [15:57] which filesystem is recommended for a separate /boot partition? [15:57] shortlord, ext2 is what I normally see [15:57] No idea. Its auto congigured for the most part I would guess its using the 'ati' driver..unless xorg.conf is saying other wise [15:57] shadeslayer: I was thinking the M1330n. The M1330 seems to come with a Dell 1395 WLAN, which I assume is not as well supported as the Intel that comes with the M1330n version. [15:57] Hi! With the recent kernel upgrade to 2.6.28-12-generic my wired ethernet NIC is no longer recognised during boot. Any similar experiences? [15:58] Morning all [15:58] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, do you knwo how can I check what is being used for video driver? [15:58] Blinkiz: wikipedia has a pretty thorough write-up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Attached_SCSI [15:58] _Brun0_: othe then looking in xorg.conf - ive never notic3ed a command that says it.. lsmod Might show what modules are in use. [15:59] _Brun0_: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:59] tpratt: whats m13330n ?? and how is it diff. to the normal m1330 ? [15:59] sipior, Already read that. My question still remains [15:59] * Dr_Willis gives bartmon an A+ [15:59] <_Brun0_> bartmon, ty i'll look there [15:59] Dr_Willis: Yay, thank you! :) [15:59] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, ty for attention. [15:59] dooner: thx [15:59] The question I have is I did apt-get remove and I have a HUGE list of packages...but the terminal does like four of them and then says they are not installed but like stops...how can I get it to run through the whole list? [15:59] hi, i have some troubles with scanimage and jaunty. When i try to scan, i get a segfault. gdb scanimage points me to /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2..... [16:00] shadeslayer: The M1330n comes with Hardy preloaded. As far as I can tell, the only hardware difference is the default WLAN. [16:00] _Brun0_: It's a long and confusing log file. If you can't make the driver out, paste the log into a pastebin service so we can take a peek [16:00] Blinkiz: well, if you know the connectors at each end, you already have the answer, right? [16:00] i already compiled the new scanimage version from cvs, but stull the same problem [16:00] tpratt: so no diff. in hardware? [16:00] how to exit matchbox window manager back to login (in my case kdm? [16:00] bartmon: now for exctra credit. come up with a 'grep' line to find it :) [16:00] shortlord, now I not sure how much of a difference it makes, but ext2 is lowest common denominator, so if $BAD_STUFF happens, most tools be able to readit. [16:01] ForgeAus, try ctrl alt backspace [16:01] sipior, Thats the problem. It does not say on seagate homepage and not on Dells page about the controller card [16:01] shadeslayer: Well, the CPUs they offer are different, but not significantly as far as I can tell and the WLAN, as I said. [16:01] dooner: the german ubuntu channel recommended the same, so I will use ext2 for /boot, ext4 for / and /home [16:01] tpratt: whats diff. with wlan? [16:02] Anyone got any ideas on my question by some chance? lol [16:02] _Brun0_: grep LoadModule Xorg.0.log [16:02] popol vuh [16:02] Hi does anybody a chown/chmod -R with gui ? [16:02] Blinkiz: time to get on the phone, then (or buy from another site that provides more technical information) [16:02] is there an amd64 for gimpshop? [16:02] _Brun0_: shows my driver its usinghere.. and other modules. :) at elast its easier to read then the whole log. [16:02] Hey there! :) I have a question. Atm I'm using a nVidia Corporation G80 (GeForce 8800 GTS) and for some reason I am unable to get the rendering check to respond positive. Only way it works is when I run the rendering check as superuser. Problem now is that I can not use 3D grafics in wine and other linux apps. Anyone here that can help me out?

[16:12] Frayjin: all i did for my nvidia 8800 card was run the hardware-driver tool.. installed the 180 version of the drivers.. and rebooted.. I dident have to do much more then that. [16:12] actually radeons being reused for newer ones [16:12] well if you put it on the sun.... [16:12] Jack_Sparrow - no problem [16:12] whats the difffernce between Ubuntu Desktop and Server Edition.. i think only GUI (GNome,KDE) otherwise after Desktop edition we can install all server packages... ? [16:12] hi, is there someone here who is kind enough to share any information with me on getting bluez >4.32 to work on Jaunty? [16:12] Yah, peter. I imagine you need to shrink another partition before you can enlarge your Linux root partition. Should work ok then- if not, ask [16:12] but Radeon is a subset of ATI chipsets afaik [16:12] forge: so 'ati' is going to go away eh? [16:12] <_Brun0_> Dr_Willis, bartmon thanks noth for attention. ;p [16:12] <_Brun0_> both* [16:12] @scrippy- server edition uses a server kernel tuned to Web server loads [16:12] ATI got bought out by AMD afaik [16:13] so its AMD radeon now I guess... [16:13] scripyy, i think the kernel is a little different for server version [16:13] Dr_Willis: Other way round. ati driver is a collection for all ati cards. A subset of these are the modern radeon families, which the radon driver supports. There were other cards before the radeons, like ati rage and those are supported by "ati". [16:13] I'm, having a problem with an external monitor on my laptop. I have connected the monitor and it displays correctly, however the maximum resolution in the screen resolution dialog is that of the laptop's screen - 1280x800. The external monitor is 1680x1050 but at the moment is only displaying the maximum of 1280x800. How can I set things so I can output the correct resolution? [16:13] <_Brun0_> forge, yes ATI was bought. Lets hope for a better driver support. [16:13] Dr_Willis: I did the same, but my 3D apps aren't running under wine due to this error. Should I consider a reinstall of Ubuntu? [16:13] I was faithful to them thru the 3DFX -> ATI change, but I think I'be just about given up [16:13] anybody else having a problem with google earth in jaunty? [16:13] Is there an extra packet to install for DVD burning? [16:14] @andrew dvd-RW-tools (or something like that) [16:14] andrews, k3b is good for dvd burning [16:14] bartmon: so err... is ATI the name of the OSS/GPL driver now? AND radeon for some? or are they all getting merged into Radeon? [16:14] _Brun0_: the driver support nowadays from ATI isn't that bad, is it? [16:14] _Brun0_: it's way better then nVidia anyhow... [16:14] How can I do a command-line upgrade to jaunty? [16:14] RadioUnix: Robotcow: after server edition we can easily isntall Gnome on it for GUI.. ? [16:14] forge: i gave up on them back with my 9700 (5+ yrs ago?) :) [16:14] ok thanks, i have multi book with xp and ubuntu, gparted is showing 3 partions, /dec/sda1 at 224.40GiB, /dec/sda3 at 2.49GiB, and /dev/sda2 at 5.99GiB. So I would shrink /dev/sda1 and then enlarge /dev/sda2? [16:14] @schiz0 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:14] <_Brun0_> zhaozhou_, catalyst (for newer cards) is somewhat unstable. [16:14] RobotCow: I'll give it a try, is there a reason why Brasero would not work [16:15] _Brun0_: ah. shame. [16:15] I didn't say I"ve given up already, I said JUST ABOUT given up lol [16:15] scripyy, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will give you gnome [16:15] forge: other then one laptop i gave away recently.. I dont have any boxs with ati any more [16:15] <_Brun0_> zhaozhou_, but its not forever [16:15] Anyone at all? [16:15] hi, is there someone here who is kind enough to share any information with me on getting bluez >4.32 to work on Jaunty? [16:15] Schiz0: "update-manager -d" I think [16:15] @andrew. No, def. not, but K3b is the golden standard among Linux birning suites and on par with ever-iconic Nero 6 [16:15] ahh HILDON thats the name of the desktop I was looking for [16:15] andrews, i dont know. i never use it because i prefer k3b. [16:15] its based on matchbox as near as I can tell [16:15] ... [16:15] I'm, having a problem with an external monitor on my laptop. I have connected the monitor and it displays correctly, however the maximum resolution in the screen resolution dialog is that of the laptop's screen - 1280x800. The external monitor is 1680x1050 but at the moment is only displaying the maximum of 1280x800. How can I set things so I can output the correct resolution? [16:15] andrews: I have been using brasero without problems. [16:16] andrews, and you didnt say what error message you got from brasero [16:16] can you try out hildon on a desktop case? and how difficult is it ? [16:16] hi ppl [16:16] I need some advice on a server, since I'm going to be using Ubuntu I think this would be the place to start, I'm looking at buying the HP Proliant G5 tower, has anyone tried these and what issues should I be aware of ? [16:16] great ubuntu 9.0.4 [16:17] better than vista [16:17] raf_, so true lol [16:17] ok thanks, i have multi book with xp and ubuntu, gparted is showing 3 partions, /dec/sda1 at 224.40GiB, /dec/sda3 at 2.49GiB, and /dev/sda2 at 5.99GiB. So I would shrink /dev/sda1 and then enlarge /dev/sda2? [16:17] Dr_Willis: as far as i know radeon is part of the ati package. It says so on http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon [16:17] bartmon: so.. im still confused about what cards are in what.. :) but its not a big deal to me. hehe [16:17] radio: you said it loads webserver in server edition so in desktop we cannot load auto webserver ? [16:17] <[BoK]Ravenkin> anyone know how to run clamav on a full drive instead of directory by directory? [16:17] I'm, having a problem with an external monitor on my laptop. I have connected the monitor and it displays correctly, however the maximum resolution in the screen resolution dialog is that of the laptop's screen - 1280x800. The external monitor is 1680x1050 but at the moment is only displaying the maximum of 1280x800. How can I set things so I can output the correct resolution? [16:17] bartmon, are you having issues with a radeon card? asking because I am on radeon [16:17] i have some trouble with webcam but i will resolv [16:17] b3n_: i dont think you have to expect anything special..... [16:18] nice ubuntu [16:18] bye ppl complimenti per ubuntu [16:18] @peter Is SDA1 your data partition and or Windows/OSX partition? If yes, then shrink that. I can't tell you what to enlarge, though, other than that it should be the / root drive and not /home or /swap [16:18] pegon: No, we're just talking about driver naming. :) [16:18] RobotCow: It just doesn't find the blank DVD that is in the drive. It mounts the volume but the burner software doesn't recognize the blank disc. It works fine with CD-R but not DVD-R. It has worked for both in the past [16:18] raf_ thanks [16:18] Does anyone know at all!? [16:18] bartmon, ahhh okay :) [16:18] RadioUnix: you said some thing about ubuntu server that it loads web server auto and desktop edition dont ? [16:18] bartmon, do you have any idea how to remove a HUGE list of packages all at once? apt-get stops after 4 of the packages aren't found [16:19] <_spm_Draget> using nvidia-glx-new with an nvidia card. My xorg works nicely, but after it started once, I cannot change to a different console anymore. It is like my frambuffer is not working anymore. Does anyone have a clue where I should start looking? [16:19] pegon: Well, the only thing i don't like is that my tvout isn't recognized but the hompeage of the driver says it isn't supported on my specific card so there you have it :) [16:19] Isopropane_: have you verified that the laptop's card is capable of driving a monitor at that resolution? [16:19] bartmon, lol true true [16:19] peter__ Please defrag in windows twice before shrinking your ntfs drive [16:19] @Scrippy. No, no, I've just heard that the server kernel is compiled with tweaks that make it better for handling large volumes of Web traffic. The Ubuntu server edition doesn't come with any server daemons installed by default [16:19] im sure someone else has had this problem with an install: when i install on a new laptop it gets to the language selection screen, i select install and the bar goes soo horrably slow..i left it on all last night and it still is on that screen.. [16:19] i installed 'ttf-bitstream-vera' and 'imagemagick'. in 8.04, ImageMagick recognized the fonts, but not in 9.04. is there something special i need to do? [16:19] radio: i believe that sda2 is my root. It is fat32 and labeled SERVICE001. Does this sound correct? [16:20] hi [16:20] ive tried from a flash drive and cd...same problem [16:20] sipior: It has worked at that resolution before, so yes :) [16:20] peter__ NO root can not be fat32 [16:20] I presume this is proper channel for casual tech support? sound isn't working in 9.04. worked fine in 6.06-8.10. I've tried alsamixer and other stuff. It is very weird. Sound is possible, but rarely happens. I created a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1162276 [16:20] If I wish to upgrade some of my drivers, how do I go about it ? [16:20] @fragmonkee- sure your medoa is good? Try burning at 16x on quality media or at least writing out another copy. [16:20] andrews, if k3b doesn't work for you, it might be a problem with the dvd drive. [16:20] can i install "add/remove applications" in kubuntu? [16:20] pegon: Well I guess you could call "sudo apt-get remove $packagename" for every package instead of "sudo apt-get remove pkg1 pkg2 ..." [16:20] ive tried 2 different versions and checked the cd before install [16:20] andrewabc there is also /join #alsa [16:20] @abracadabra- sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade [16:21] radiounix: any way of upgrading them manually ? [16:21] RobotCow: Looks like K3B is working [16:21] howdy folks [16:21] bartmon, true just this is a BIG list lol....I am trying to remove everything kubuntu installed lol cause I am using Xfce [16:21] fragmonkee Do you have a large hard drive in that box [16:21] 250gb, not too large [16:21] Why is gtk-gnutella broken in Jaunty? [16:21] @abacadabra, sudo apt-get install 'packagex' [16:22] ive had problems with fedora 10 also...im guessing it may be this pos box [16:22] pegon see the link on puregnome and purekde on how we remove those, sorry I have not worked with xfce [16:22] !puregnome [16:22] 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 » [16:22] thanks RadioUnix and Robotcow.. [16:22] Jack_Sparrow, ahhh thanks [16:22] npo [16:23] I still dont see how kdelibs4c2 and kdelib5 removes all kde packages... === forge is now known as ForgeAus [16:23] Does anyone know how this can be remedied? [16:23] radiounix: ok, ty (I thought that was for apps only, not for graphic card drivers, wifi drivers, etc....) [16:23] pegon: First of all do "sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop" then try "sudo apt-get autoremove" [16:24] bartmon, thanks Jack showed me how to remove them...but thank you :) [16:24] @ abracadabra- your drivers are built into your kernel. You will get a new kernel with new drivers when you update to Ubuntu 9.1. No, really :p [16:24] bartmon see the link I gave him on puregnome [16:24] radiounix: when i try to shrink SDA1 the resize option is grayed out. Then I select unmount volume and a triangle with a "!" appears next to its name and the only option is to delete. Resize is still grayed out? [16:24] xsane isn't detecting my epson dx7400 all-in-one scanner, yet it says its supported in sane ref: http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-epson2.5.html any ideas? [16:25] radiounix: thanks :) [16:25] Or, if you must be bleeding edge, I suppose you can compile in newer drivers. No clue how, but it can be done if say sound doesn't work because the alda module's too old for your card/chip [16:25] ... [16:25] what's the easiest way to edit title/artist for song files? I can't do it by right-click>properties [16:25] radiounix: that was one of the ways I was wondering how to do lol [16:25] Jack_Sparrow, I compiled a custom kernel...but I forgot my sata modules in the menuconfig...is there anyway to add them to the kernel install without having to recompile them back into debs etc? [16:25] Isopropane_: does your graphics adapter actually support higher resolutions? [16:25] hkais: At least on my MacBook 5.1, the Nvidia proprietary driver fails hard. [16:26] Well, if everything works, don't get started, abracadabra [16:26] Isopropane_: also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for what X found to be supported by your hardware. [16:26] pegon NOt really, we dont support other peoples custom kernels, you can try /join #kernel [16:26] Piet: Yes, it's done this resolution before [16:26] has anyone had the repeating key issue? [16:26] Isopropane_ Try it without effects turned on [16:26] whats the command to see users /ls -s or something [16:27] Jack_Sparrow, oh no I didn't mean custom like that...I meant from Kernel Source...I installed one just went through a removed stuff etc but I will try that [16:27] Isopropane_: if it turns out it should work, you can add a ModeLine to your xorg.conf and restart X === krs is now known as krs_ === krs_ is now known as krs__ [16:27] peter__: I'm guessing this might be an ntfs drive? In that case, if you check it''s info, I'm guessing it says that you need to run chkdisk, from windows... [16:27] Isopropane_: it can also be caused by a limitation of the driver you are currently using === krs__ is now known as rklopper [16:27] brandonc503 .. what do you mean by see users? you can type id or search the /etc/passwd to see users in there [16:28] ienorand: thanks, yes it is ntfs. So if i run chkdisk and then re-enter ubuntu i should be able to resize? [16:28] brandonc503: do you mean ls -l maybe? [16:28] there is terminal commnand like /is -s or /ls -s somehting [16:28] ya thanks piet [16:28] Piet: I haven't changed the driver.. what modeline should I add? The manual is rather high-level and makes little sense [16:28] brandonc503: ls -l gives you a long listing so you can see permissions and the owner and owning group of a particular file or folder [16:29] I'm trying to have one instance of wmii per screen on a dual monitor setup. i disabled GDM and put the following in my ~/.xinitrc DISPLAY=:0.0 wmii &, DISPLAY=:0.1 exec wmii (each on their own line). Now when I startx, I get 2 instances of X, each running an instance of wmii. My mouse can travel across both screens, I can't drag windows from one to another (as expected, so that's ok) but my primary screen will not accept keyboard [16:29] brandonc503 - to see users, say for example you wanted to see your user account and such, you would type id brandonc503 [16:29] anyone here who uses successfully ubuntu 32 bit with 4 GB RAM and the nvidia prop. driver? (Standard Notebook, no apple) [16:29] مرحبا [16:29] peter__: normally that is the problem, if you check info for the partition it should say... I think [16:29] brandonc503: or you can search like this - sudo fgrep brandonc503 /etc/passwd [16:29] Zzeiss: okay Apples golden cage is always problematic ;-) [16:29] !arabic [16:29] For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [16:29] !ar | mohammed [16:30] mohammed: La comunidad local de Argentina se puede encontrar en #ubuntu-ar y en su canal de offtopic: #ubuntu-ar-cafe [16:30] * LjL forgot. [16:30] I just upgraded to jaunty from intrepid and now my keyboard repeats keys [16:30] مساء الخير يا عرب [16:30] ienorand: i checked the info and it didnt say anything about chkdisk but i will try it anyway thanks [16:30] https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/264196 seems to be it, and the slow keys work around kinda works [16:30] Isopropane: did you solved your prblem? [16:31] anyone know anything more on this issue? [16:32] if i have more than one ways of connecting to the internet, how do i use a particular way? currently, eth0 (wired), eth1 (wireless) and ppp0 (some other modem) are enabled. but now i want to use ppp0 to connect to the internet, how do i do that? [16:32] recently installed ubuntu 9.04 on ntfs via wubi, works great but want to redo as dual boot, wondering if anyone knows if that usually goes smoothly, have to resize partition drive c is winxp boot, plan on using ubuntu live to do resize or is better way? [16:32] Any idea what could cause my laptop to overheat (it worked perfectly fine with Intrepid, but after the upgrade to Jaunty, I've alread had 3 "emergency shutdowns" :( ) [16:32] Isopropane_: the manual is probably still the best source for this information. you can also try to generate a ModeLine here: http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl [16:32] !wubi > fubaz [16:32] fubaz, please see my private message [16:32] !ModeLine > Isopropane_ [16:32] Isopropane_, please see my private message [16:32] i installed 'ttf-bitstream-vera' and 'imagemagick'. ImageMagick recognized the fonts in ubuntu 8.04, but not in 9.04. is there something special i need to do? [16:32] @yacc maybe fan is not speeding up as it gets hotter? [16:33] Hi, I'm looking for a cartography application : I should be able to place points on the map and then process the overall length (I could use google map but some parts are off the roads), any ideas about such application ? [16:33] I get a lot of lag in XChat and my connection often times out, how do I solve this, any tips for settings? [16:33] hey guys u know dell ship some of there systems with ubuntu well will dells distro of ubuntu 9.04 have all my drivers ie will my hardware on my dell vostro 1510 work out the box using this distro [16:33] Piet: Cheers :D I've used the generator.. where abouts do I put the output?

[16:34] @tryagainhentai I'm pretty sure dell ships with 8.04. Unless they recently changed it. [16:34] and make a private netwrok ? [16:34] pdtpatrick: is it in repository? [16:34] no theres 9.04 now [16:34] openss: yup .. sudo apt-get install irssi [16:35] fubaz, the hardware is fine, I just upgraded the distribution. (and yes I checked the CPU fan already).

[16:37] xD [16:37] manuel_ Please see thos topic of the channel, this is ubuntu support.. thanks [16:37] yes I know you can upgrade, but the persons question was whether dell comes with 9.04 with drivers etc. [16:37] I want to delete a very specific set of files, I used ls >> delete.txt to generate a list of files i want to remove, how to i give that file to rm -v to delete?

[16:47] apt-get install says that I run the latest version of autoconf >< [16:47] >.<* [16:48] th0r yes the disk is no good [16:48] anyone here who uses successfully ubuntu 32 bit with 4 GB RAM and the nvidia prop. driver?

[16:49] !guidelines > jakub [16:49] anyone here who uses successfully ubuntu 32 bit with 4 GB RAM and the nvidia prop. driver? I am trying to use the server kernel (for the 4GB) but xorg will not start until I switch back to generic kernel. [16:49] Can somebody tell me why an unused and unplugged eth0 causes 16% of wakeups? [16:49] sipior, I dont run 9.04 [16:49] O|OO: then there's your problem :-) [16:49] omg [16:49] I run 8.0.4.1 [16:49] if im not mistaking [16:50] so how can I update the autoconf? >.< [16:50] hardy has 2.61 [16:50] !enter > O|OO [16:50] O|OO, please see my private message [16:50] O|OO: update your installation, or build it from source. [16:50] >.< [16:51] O|OO: is the autoconf package installed? [16:51] hey all [16:51] apt-get install autoconf answers that the last version of autoconf is already installed [16:51] <,< [16:51] !lol > O|OO [16:51] O|OO, please see my private message === O|OO is now known as Dvlpr [16:52] so im trying to upload files via web site... what should i set the containing folders chown and chmod to? and what should i set the file itselves chown and chmod to? [16:52] sdls: do as sipior said and see if the disk vendor offers low level tesing tools [16:52] Dvlpr: what is the installed version you see in 'apt-cache policy autoconf' [16:52] brandonc503: most likely it should be readable by the user that runs the webserver [16:52] Piet: Thanks [16:52] 2.61-4 [16:53] brandonc503 How to install a bin.. chmod +x file.bin ; sudo ./file.bin [16:53] nibbler: can i have full privilages to my ubuntu user name and www-data im using for web site user? [16:53] brandonc503 But please check our repos first [16:53] Dvlpr: I have no idea why it wouldn't pick that up; have you tried a make clean in whatever you're building? [16:53] sdls: Piet: he mentioned that a replacement disk gave similar errors, so i imagine the problem lies within the enclosure itself, or with the connection to the computer. of course, two bad disks in a row isn't completely unheard of :-) [16:53] however, when I use ./autoconf -qweweq (some unknown option) it shows /usr/bin/autoreconf2.50: unrecognized option `-qq' [16:53] repos? [16:53] brandonc503: this is not recommended. if your upload via web, the file will belong to webuser anyway [16:53] crd1b, it doesnt even have makefile yet [16:54] !repos [16:54] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [16:54] sipior: that's why, if they were of the same stock, both can be broken [16:54] Piet: That did nothing.. that made Ubuntu boot into low graphics mode where I had to re-configure the xorg.conf [16:54] Dvlpr: are you using an autoconf distributed with the source code itself? [16:54] yea [16:54] brandonc503 HAve you tried synaptic or apt-get [16:54] ah no [16:54] Piet: yep. [16:55] I misunderstood you xD - I use autoconf of my system to generate configure script === Rewt`_ is now known as Rewt` [16:55] i need to have it uploaded via web site.... [16:55] thats the goal im trying to accomplish [16:55] !details [16:55] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [16:55] but if i upload via web, should i set to use the chown of the folder its going into? [16:56] can someone give me a hand with a logon script that aint working right [16:56] and building autoconf from source gives a roflerror >.< [16:56] Isopropane_: that'S a pity... :-/ [16:56] Dvlpr: I don't even see a /usr/bin/autoreconf2.50 available in hardy's archives, so where did you get it? [16:57] No idea [16:57] Isopropane_: best read up more on this specific driver / kernel module you're using and the options it provides then [16:57] Dvlpr: why the "./" in front of autoconf in your example? are you sure you're not running a script provided by the authors of the source code? what does "which autoconf" return? [16:57] lenswipe: put it on a pastebin [16:57] made a mistake [16:58] Piet: a pastebin of the logon script? ok [16:58] root@vladimir-desktop:/home/vladimir/autoconf# which autoconf [16:58] /usr/local/bin/autoconf [16:58] Dvlpr: ah. try running the one in /usr/bin [16:58] lenswipe: right [16:58] @echo off [16:58] echo preparing to delete old drive mappings [16:58] net use * /delete /yes [16:58] echo old drive mappings deleted...

[16:59] !paste > lenswipe [16:59] lenswipe, please see my private message [16:59] Piet: Okay [16:59] lenswipe: paste.ubuntu.com [16:59] i know [16:59] i meant to paste a pastebin link in [16:59] I have an issue with fsck, my 64 bit machine seems to be freezing a lot with 9.04 64 bit, and now the hard drive is unclean, so I have a live CD in and am trying to run fsck (since recovery mode fsck failed) but every time I run "sudo fsck /dev/sda" I get an error saying its busy or mounted, and it's neither as far as I can tell [16:59] but it didnt work [16:59] it pasted in whole file in [16:59] sorry for that guys [16:59] lenswipe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:59] I'm pretty sure I've seen a plugin for gnome that allowed you to open the terminal from nautilus at the current location -- anybody know of it? [16:59] http://pastebin.com/m281302c9 [16:59] lenswipe: you are usng some of the features of samba that ive never tried. :P [16:59] How can I know all the programs that are running on startup? [16:59] lenswipe, not hitting enter every 3 words is also good [16:59] lenswipe Please dont continue to flood [17:00] Daremonai, System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications [17:00] Daremonai: Look in the sessions program in system->preferences [17:00] ubuntu: you'll want to specify the partition, not just the drive: "fsck /dev/sda1", and so on. [17:00] Piet: Thanks anyway :) [17:00] Jack_Sparrow: sorry, the reason i pasted that whole thing in is because i meant to paste a pastebin link in, but it didnt work and it paseted the whole file in cos that was still on the clipboard rather than the pastebin link, sorry again... [17:01] lenswipe: that's not pastebin [17:01] sipior: I tried that, but the default set up is to put swap on /dev/sda1 and the root file system on a logical partition in /dev/sda5 which won't check [17:01] Piet: huh? [17:01] lenswipe Understood, but then you spammed us with another half a dozen lines trying to explain [17:01] hi, tryin to install ati proprietary linux gfx drivers to a fresh ubuntu 9.04 gives this: Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version [17:01] default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.28-11-generic; make sure that the version is being [17:01] correctly set by --iscurrentdistro [17:01] any clues? possibly the drivers are not for ubuntu at all?? [17:01] Isopropane_: you're welcome [17:01] vordme34: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:01] icio, ubuntu, these show ALL of them? even duplicates? - because am getting an error from exim on startup, seems like it's being ran twice or some other mailserver is being run as well as exim4 [17:01] Piet: what do you mean it isnt pastebin? [17:01] Piet: What section did it paste into again? I lost the backlog when I restarted X. I put a value in wrong [17:01] Piet: http://pastebin.com/m281302c9 [17:02] ubuntu: you should be able to fsck /dev/sda5 just fine. the logical partition shouldn't be a problem. [17:02] autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 [17:02] Piet: any ideas as to why the logon script isnt mapping the drives for the users and infact in my case doesnt even run [17:02] Daremonai: ? [17:02] heres error of running autoreconf, sipior [17:03] lenswipe: "this is not pastebin" referred to your "channel spam" earlier. ;-) i have a laggy connection. [17:03] Piet: ah, ok [17:03] icio, none of the things i saw in "Application startup" shows anything bout exim4 [17:03] i'm trying to get nic bonding working under ubuntu. i seem to be able to navigate and ping my lan, but i dont have access to the internet. i can ping my router too. anyone have any suggestions ? my /etc/network/interfaces file and ifconfig output is here http://pastebin.ca/1426485 i'd appreciate any help [17:03] Hrm, maybe 5 is the swap partition, 1 is clean, so maybe it's fine, curious it didn't mount, will reboot and see if it's fixed [17:03] Dvlpr: does /usr/local/bin appear before /usr/bin in your $PATH? [17:04] root@vladimir-desktop:/media/ACER/trunk# echo $PATH [17:04] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin [17:04] if you meant this [17:04] Daremonai: exim is a server. It won't show up as an application [17:04] nztal If you type an address and not a web page name does it work [17:04] th0r, then how do I know what servers are running on startup? [17:04] Daremonai: it is run at boot from /etc/init.d; you need to check out runlevel editors === Lint02 is now known as Lint01 [17:04] Dvlpr: i did, yes. change your path so that /usr/bin is first, otherwise you'll call the wrong autom4te and aclocal from /usr/local/bin, when you really want the ones from /usr/bin. [17:04] th0r, alright [17:05] if i were to reinstall 9.04, would i loose my data on my two raid1 disks? [17:05] hey is DDR3 a lot better than DDR2? [17:05] billybigrigger not if you havbe a sep /home [17:05] !home [17:05] 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 [17:05] Daremonai: you should also be able to tell what gets started by looking in /etc/rc.0, /rc.1. /rc.2...etc. Depending on what run level yu are interested in [17:05] lenswipe: i was thinking you were referring to a linux login script. i can not debug windows logon scripts for you. [17:05] Jack_Sparrow, you mean a numerical address, say, for google ? or something on my lan ? [17:05] sipior, so how would $PATH look? [17:05] nztal Yes a numerical address [17:05] Piet: ah ok thanks nyway :) [17:06] Jack_Sparrow::: ??? oh, no no, i have a 500 GB root disk, with a separate /home partition, and then i have 2 x 500GB disks in raid1 as storage [17:06] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:...? [17:06] Piet: btw i dont think it is a problem with the logon script because it works fine when i run it manually... [17:06] th0r, mmm I need to learn abour run levels I guess, i donno what they mean... btw exim4 exists in both /etc/init.d/ and in /etc/cron.daily/ [17:06] billybigrigger you should be fine with a sep /home [17:06] or /usr/bin is the first of all this [17:06] Dvlpr: preferably /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin... [17:06] just dont format it during the reinstall [17:06] ok, thanks, will check now [17:06] Jack_Sparrow::: yeah, thanks [17:06] np [17:07] Jack_Sparrow, that did not seem to work either [17:07] nztal it helps to know it is not a dns error [17:07] nztal HAve you tried bypassing your router? [17:07] Daremonai: yes, it is a good idea to have at least a basic understanding of run levels. And the exim in cron.daily might or might not be right. I suspect it is a daily cleanup job and not a daily rerun of exim [17:07] Anyone use 3 monitors and 2 nvidia cards? [17:08] th0r, oh alright... I'm looking at runlevels on wiki, am assuming that's a good place to look, right? [17:08] oi, alguem utiliza o skype [17:08] !skype [17:08] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [17:08] instalei o bicho aqui [17:08] mas ele dá senha errada [17:08] !br > ivonei [17:08] ivonei, please see my private message [17:08] !pt > ivonei [17:08] I dont [17:09] Daremonai: yes. You should know there are two ways run levels are being handled. Debian/Ubuntu uses them a little differently than Suse/Redhat/Mandrake [17:09] Jack_Sparrow, i am afraid to do that, i have at&t dsl, and its not very friendly with ubuntu os for pppoe authentication. last night it fussed at me, for trying to log in on my laptop, which is the same os as my desktop (jaunty) so i'm not sure if it'd work at all [17:09] ahahahahaah [17:09] sipior, root@vladimir-desktop:/media/ACER/trunk# PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin" - right [17:09] Where in xorg.conf would this - Modeline "1680x1050" 149.00 1680 1760 1944 2280 1050 1050 1052 1089 - go? [17:09] th0r, alright... though I am more of a debian-related OS kinda guy... but I'm considering gentoo sometime soon. [17:09] #wubi [17:09] anyone here who uses successfully ubuntu 32 bit with 4 GB RAM and the nvidia prop. driver? I am trying to use the server kernel (for the 4GB) but xorg will not start until I switch back to generic kernel. [17:09] Daremonai: this one applies to ubuntu....http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/212 [17:09] Dvlpr: you'll want 'export PATH="....."' [17:10] ah [17:10] every time I connect to a network using ath9k all my connections in my list drop to 0% although they are still there. [17:10] th0r, thanks... opening it. [17:10] where can i ask questions abouth the ubuntu store ? [17:10] Dvlpr: if you're just testing in the terminal, you can leave it off (force of habit for me, i guess) [17:11] sipior, root@vladimir-desktop:/media/ACER/trunk# export PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin" - is it ok now? xD [17:11] khensthoth If you are tring to run the server kernel so you can see all 4 gigs and are running a desktop setup, stick with the generic kernel as it does use all 4 , but you only get 3.3 or so for programs [17:11] hey i just installed wubi AND i cant access the other hds on my system i only have one other hd but its not the one that wubi is there a strand that i should enter in to root help please noob.

Is there a way to just wait for the previous to be executed before executing the next [17:30] soreau, yeah i dont know what that means either other than the panel in gnome animatiing down on boot [17:31] Sorry. What option "relatime" in Fstab is? [17:31] :Piet so isn't there any active project in this sense? [17:31] coz_: Well, let's see... I already have compiz so that's Plenty of animations for everything xD [17:31] soreau, considering along with compiz I doubt anything will be missed by disabling that :) [17:31] Est` kto iz lyudey na kanale?

[17:34] coz_: Unfortunately, gtk-enable-animations does not exist in any package for Jaunty [17:34] soreau, ? mm let me check here for the gtkrc [17:34] I think it's useful expecially for greatest packages as openoffice. updates are a lot faster [17:35] How to upgrade from hardy to 9.04? [17:35] coz_: Gah, I didn't read it. I thought that was supposed to be some program [17:35] !ru > Duster [17:35] Duster, please see my private message [17:35] is there a way to mv a file to another location, but then when a program asks for its original location, it will point to that another location ? [17:35] !upgrade [17:35] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [17:35] it is useful also to do a dist-upgrade [17:35] What is the package you need to apt-get to get java? [17:35] is there any documentation on the concept 'groups'? so far all I could find is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto [17:35] soreau, oh ok no but let me do another search for this there may be another options hold on [17:35] yaris123456789 Look up symlinkin [17:35] (i know how they work, but i'm looking for a good explanation for newbies) [17:35] dvlpr; its simple... just use the upgrade tool [17:35] coz_, I fixed my res problem !!!

[17:39] coz_ yeah thanks for the help [17:39] with gui [17:39] Does anyone have experience getting CS1.6 to work on 9.04? [17:39] dylan_, well it wasnt me that did it but certainly glad you got it working [17:39] I think I will double back up the xorg.conf file [17:39] Hi all. I made the mistake of removing one of the background wallpapers from my appearance panel? Anyone know how to restore it? [17:40] Kangarooo Depends on how they were deleted and what format the partition had that they were removed from [17:40] dylan_, yeah at least for reference in the future rename it so you know what it was for :) [17:40] Jack_Sparrow: firefox sessionrestore files so firefox deleted them.. [17:40] I dont see "Upgrade" button in my software manager =\ [17:40] when should you use hardlinks vs. symbolic links [17:40] where is upstart? man upstart finds nothing .. which upstart finds nothing.. is it removed from jaunty and replaced by some other tool? [17:40] Does anyone know how to view the last log file [17:41] jeremy_: 'last' ? [17:41] dylan_ cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) [17:41] jeremy_: Or the IRC one?

[17:42] I guess not, huh? [17:42] Kangarooo Sorry I have not used 4 [17:42] well any file restore programm will work no? Jack_Sparrow witch is the best and with gui? [17:42] Kangarooo No idea what will work best or at all on 4 [17:43] Does anyone know how I can make a boot script wait for a command to finish (insmod) before executing the next command (mount) without using sleep. [17:43] what will be the new ubuntu lts? [17:43] Anyone willing to help me out on uninstalling Ubuntu, or helping me fix something so I don't have to [17:43] thanks Jack_Sparrow [17:43] !releases [17:43] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [17:43] dylan_ np [17:43] lulz, epic names list [17:43] Jack_Sparrow: so, 10.04? [17:43] anyways, anyone know a good DVD copying program? [17:43] root@vladimir-desktop:/media/ACER/trunk# sudo do-release-upgrade [17:43] Checking for a new ubuntu release [17:43] No new release found [17:44] ldiamond: put them in a script after each other [17:44] m0r0n Uninstalling is as simple as installing whatever you want over it or deleting the partition [17:44] anyways, I am trying to follow these instruction I got from a help forum http://pastebin.ca/1426530, and I am not quite sure exaclty what I should do, can someone have a look at them and explain to me what needs to be done ? [17:44] Tootoot222, a dvd ripper you mean? [17:44] Vixen-: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3507 its working [17:44] coz_: well, ripping and burning [17:44] ldiamond: by default they will be run in order.. the next one starting when the previous one finishes [17:44] why no new releases found? >.< [17:44] Slart, that doesnt work. I put insmod, then mount in the same file (/etc/rc.local) but the mount doesnt wait for the driver to be loaded and fails [17:44] Im running 8.0.4.1, while 9.0.4 is last version [17:44] Kangarooo: It says so on the appdb, but I'm having an issue with my monitor [17:44] Tootoot222, hold on try looking here http://linuxappfinder.com/multimedia [17:45] ldiamond: perhaps the module is inserted but then the driver needs a little while before it can handle requests [17:45] :Piet even without presto this isn't true if i want yum install in fedora this is the same as apt-get update; apt-get install in ubuntu. if i want disable update of list of repositories i can do that with yum -C install. yum is not less faster than apt if they do the same things. Then if you use presto plugin it is a lot faster. I like ubuntu a lot more than fedora only i wish it had something similar to presto .. [17:45] Slart, my guess is insmod exits, but the driver still has to load itself fully [17:45] ldiamond: what kind of driver is it? [17:45] I need to remove/purge all non-ubuntu-server packages [17:45] Slart, RAID card driver [17:45] hello guys lets say i do "ln -s file1 file2" file2 is deleted. what happens when i try to open up file2 ? [17:46] so, I had an old fedora 7 system set up with software raid 1 across two auxiliary disks, in addition to the boot disk. I installed ubuntu 9.0.4, and the software raid seems to have *persisted* across the complete reformat and install into the boot disk. How is this possible? [17:46] lenswipe: yaris123456789 soft links would be 'broken' if the thing they are pointing to - are removed [17:46] oops typo [17:46] ldiamond: if you check the syslog when you insert a removable drive or similar it actually says that it is "waiting for the drive to settle down" before continuing.. I'm not sure if you can check the status of your raid card using the command line.. can you? [17:46] hey, i have unseted directorys that i've created long time ago in /mnt/ .. how can i remove those shares? [17:46] yaris123456789 soft links would be 'broken' if the thing they are pointing to - are removed [17:46] yaris123456789 It should bring up file 1 [17:47] Dr_Willis: so i would need hardlinks then ? [17:47] yaris123456789: hard links are a file with 2 different names [17:47] yaris123456789: you'll get an error [17:47] yaris123456789: no idwa what you are trying todo. :) soft links are used 99% of the time [17:47] yaris123456789: if you use hardlinks and name1 gets deleted.. name2 still exists [17:47] Does anybody know how to open the faillog file or any command that I can use in terminal [17:47] yaris123456789 Ignore me on that, I must have missed something [17:47] yaris123456789: hard links wouldn't delete the data until there are no more links pointing to it.. or something like that [17:48] hey, Question::-> i have unseted directorys that i've created long time ago in /mnt/ .. how can i remove those shares? [17:48] Slart, I have no idea [17:48] heres my scenario: i am running wget -r something.com, i am mving one downloaded file to another location. however, when wget -r comes across the same link , and looks for it. its not there. it will start redownloading. wheenever it sees this link it will continue, and we are caught in a loop. [17:48] does anyone know the command to run in the terminal to call up the python interpreter? [17:48] ldiamond: why not just put a 2 second sleep command between them, if that is what it takes to make it work.. or you are doing this often enough that waiting isn't an option? [17:48] akidd116: python [17:48] Why does vino server lag vlc's videos if the client's vnc client is minimized? (it lags it up till the point of unwatchability) [17:48] akidd116: it hought it was 'python' :) [17:49] vito____: for updating the repository info and installing available updates, apt-get always seemed faster to me than yum. but then i haven't used yum in a while, so i may well be wrong there. [17:49] videos over vnc? ICK! :) [17:49] haha, wow thats easy enough then [17:49] Slart, I was looking for a more elegant way to do this, this is done at boot. Jaunty boots fast, if I add 2-3 seconds (1sec is too short) it kinda defeat the fast boot... [17:50] Dr_Willis, hehe nah.. am not watching it on vnc, I watch it on my server pc, but I use vnc as a way to control it - so basically, I use my laptop as a remote control :P [17:50] Does anybody know how to open the faillog file or any command that I can use in terminal [17:50] I find that a fast boot time..is vastly overshadowed by my HUGE MASSIVE LARGE uptimes. :) [17:50] how can I take an ubuntu system that is setup and remove all non-base or non-server packages? [17:50] Daremonai: many of those media players can support a terminal, or web based or other remote type controll. :) [17:51] ldiamond: well.... perhaps you could just start this script and then continue with the boot process.. if you do not need the raid drive immediately for booting something [17:51] Daremonai: or ive used 'syngery' befor to controll them also [17:51] hey im abou to compress a 5 gig files, what format will do it faster?? ".tar", ".tar.gz" or ".zip"??? [17:51] samd: tar is not compressed. [17:51] ldiamond: that way it would just wait while the computer is doing the rest of the booting.. [17:51] .tar =) [17:51] criminy|w, sudo apt-get autoremove gnome-desktop? I really dont know so dont do that without confirmation [17:51] samd: tar doesn't compress stuff iirc [17:51] samd: you want faster to compress? to uncmompress? or smallest size. :) [17:51] Dr_Willis, it's not the only reason I use vnc, it's one of the reasons. [17:51] I dont need the raid for booting, but if I add sleep in the /etc/rc.loacl file, will it block on the sleep? [17:51] coz_: thanks. I don't have gnome-desktop so that won't work =\ [17:51] Dr_Willis, Slart , ohh, didnt knew that :pp, thanks, [17:51] hey i need help [17:51] Slart, I dont need the raid for booting, but if I add sleep in the /etc/rc.loacl file, will it block on the sleep? [17:52] samd: dont forget bz2 also! :) [17:52] Dr_wills, im interested in smallest size, and fast uncompress [17:52] !archive [17:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about archive [17:52] i d/l teh nexest ubuntu, and burned after cold reboot just hangs when i select install [17:52] !zip [17:52] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [17:52] criminy|w, do you have desktop environment? [17:52] samd: how about speed to compress? :) [17:52] ldiamond: I'm not sure if the boot scripts are run in some weird way but just call your script with a & at the end and it will be forked off to background [17:52] anyways, I am trying to follow these instruction I got from a help forum http://pastebin.ca/1426530, and I am not quite sure exaclty what I should do, can someone have a look at them and explain to me what needs to be done ? [17:52] coz_: no. this is a server. [17:52] criminy|w, ok sorry guy I misunderstood [17:52] Slart, I'll try that, thanks [17:52] good luck. i gotta run [17:53] Dr_Wills, dont care that much, as long as it dont take excessive time for 5 gig [17:53] someone may have installed X, but I need to purge it all and start again, without losing my network settings. I don't have physical access to the machine so a re-install is no good [17:53] I have a simple Ubuntu Server 8.04 question if someone has a sec. [17:53] samd: why not make a small benchmark.. bz2, zip are the two main candidates I think [17:53] rkitect: shoot. [17:53] can someone help me plz [17:53] rkitect We do have a server channel [17:54] !ask > Yankefish [17:54] If I want to integrate my own app to the new notification system in Ubuntu 9.04, which library should I use? [17:54] Yankefish, please see my private message [17:54] i will head there, what's the room name? [17:54] Slart, ight, i might go for zip, cuz of compatibility, and how's illl make a benchmark? with a software, or just a raw test? [17:54] Jack_Sparrow, he already asked his question [17:54] channel name rather [17:54] If I want to integrate my own app to the new notification system in Ubuntu 9.04, which library should I use?

[17:54] ty [17:54] after cold reboot with ubuntu, i select install, after 5 monutes it just hangs is this normal [17:54] Yankefish: try checking the cd (there is an option for doing that in the boot menu).. also try the noapic, nolapic, noapci grub switches.. sometimes those are necessary [17:54] np [17:55] henux, notify-send "hey" [17:55] hey, i remember, there was a small package i had to install to have the microsoft true type fonts (like impact), which one was this??

It's good to be on latest ubuntu or stay on LTS until another LTS comes out ? [18:07] ForZeUA: thats why you do a clean install... i never upgrade... just keep all my important crap on a big partition, make my / about 20-30gigs.. when i reinstall.. just overwrite / [18:08] Gourlis: well, just using 8.04 as an example... theres been quite a few improvements between 8.0 and 9.04, and presumably will be more between 9.04 and 10.04 [18:08] Gourlis: unless you have an actual need to run LTS(ie, some sort of network of computers that you ahve to keep track of).. i always keep my stuff w/ the current version..

I use the expose stuff and some window animations and that's about it [18:24] i already installed it [18:24] hkais: but I have tried out the effects..

The support under itrepid is much better under x64 but not as stable as with 32bit [18:25] TBeholder: I'm not a totally clued-up linux user yet...so I'm not sure I would know how to go about assigning a group to the folder?

[18:26] Anyone know if there is an offline installer for .MWV codecs in ubuntu? [18:26] hkais: what graphics card are you using? [18:26] mikebeecham same here. if i got it at all, you're supposed to give access to some group, then enlist users in it to give them all access [18:26] .rm codecs work on ubuntu? [18:26] i mean on any application? [18:26] Is there any way to color manage/apply color profiles to multiple monitors?

[18:32] !patience > bloupotlood [18:32] bloupotlood, please see my private message [18:32] hey guys, does anyone knows where apr-config is located on ubuntu 9.04 [18:32] ? [18:32] here's a question: if i have trouble with Metacity what can i use instead of it? [18:33] hkais, i use eclipse with tears in my eyes [18:33] is there a way to download sudo apt-get stuff without having to actually use ubuntu and rather use a windows machine? [18:33] TBeholder, you could try using emerald? o.O [18:33] ForZeUA: why? [18:33] TBeholder http://xwinman.org/ [18:33] bloupotlood, what are you referring to? using aptitude in windows? [18:33] Is there a way I can upgrade my file system to ext4 without having to format the hard desk? [18:33] i need to get the w32codecs for my ubuntu, i can only access the net via the XP installation. [18:34] bloupotlood, you could use ext2fs to write to your linux partition: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [18:34] bloupotlood, there are also other tools to do so [18:34] jamalfanaian: sort of mate, i need a .deb of w32codecs because i cant use my ubuntu for internet, only my xp box. [18:34] bloupotlood: check the medibuntu repository.. I think they have a webpage where you can get packages [18:34] partition* [18:34] Jack_Sparrow thx [18:34] what is a program to edit mpg video? [18:34] np [18:34] Slart: cool beans, thanks dude. [18:35] bloupotlood, apt-get -d install ubuntu-restricted-extras , then you will have the debs and the dependencies in /var/cache/apt/ [18:35] bloupotlood: you can also use synaptic to generate downloading-scripts.. you can then run those on a windows machine using wget [18:35] <_chun> Using jaunty, whenever I plug my usb HD in, I get the message "you are not privileged to mount the volume" and I have to sudo mount it. Any suggestions? [18:35] devel0 Isnt that in ubuntu? [18:35] bloupotlood: but it might not work unless the ubuntu machine has some up to date package lists.. [18:35] when i debug my code, eclipse hangs on int array with 20k elements... on 10-20 sec [18:35] bloupotlood then it boils down to finding a repository, and downloading .deb ? [18:35] devel0: i cant use my ubuntu online, the 3g dongle support is non existent. [18:35] _chun, edit /etc/fstab and add the user attribute [18:35] bloupotlood, go here down load the deb package you need http://packages.medibuntu.org/ [18:35] chuck: k will do [18:35] does anybody has dual head + TV out configured with nvidia ? [18:35] when i try to watch data) [18:36] can someone tell me how to turn off console output to the screen during boot ? [18:36] hi [18:36] <_chun> devel0: tried that, I get "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending" [18:36] _chun, I fail to see the relation between fstab and dbus [18:36] bloupotload: yes you can, you can search at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ locate the .debs you want and download them. Then copy them to your linux box and install them with dpkg -i . But it wont do dependancies. You will have to go back to windows and download those on your own. [18:36] devel0 put quiet next to kernel options in grub [18:36] devel0: normally usplash is supposed to show up... [18:36] im trying to get java working in the opera browser. Will i have more luck downloading the rpm.bin? or just the .bin (self extracting file)? [18:37] TBeholder, Well uninstalling fglrx alone let me actually load X :) Thanks... I will try installing the newer version and see if that works now [18:37] Is there a way I can upgrade my file system to ext4 without having to format the hard desk? [18:37] bloupotlood wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/package or whatever repo it is in [18:37] i know rpm + alien = .deb [18:37] Trying to install 9.04 on an old AMD3000+ that has a Geforce3 card in it. Blinking cursor in upper left corner. Tried 64 bit, 32 bit, alternate install.. with text only, no apic no difference [18:37] Omar87: ext is pretty backwards compatible.. but I think you'll have to reformat if you are to use the newer features [18:37] can i work with bin files easily? [18:37] doc_brown Also be aware that it isnt recommended and can be hazardous to your system [18:37] Thanks to everyone, just got my w32codecs .dev package :) wish me luck! laters. [18:37] doc_brown: rpm+alien= danger danger [18:37] jamalfanaian in my case it loaded graphic login, but screwed up utterly after it [18:37] !alien [18:37] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [18:38] alien isnt dangerous , its just not 100% effective , could mess up your deps [18:38] <_chun> devel0: not sure myself, but it's the message I get when I plug it in with the user attribute added to fstab [18:38] TBeholder, oh :( that's no good [18:38] how easy is it to work with bin files on ubuntu? [18:38] doc_brown, define "work" [18:38] doc_brown: bin files? binary files? do you mean cd images (cue/bin) ? [18:38] doc_brown That would depend on the bin.. It is much better to stay within our repos [18:39] =) [18:39] Is there a method to verify already installed packages simular to rpm's -V option? [18:39] dpkg -l [18:39] how can i get java working in the opera browser? [18:39] jamalfanaian that was fixed after ATI driver is installed (ati-driver-installer-#-##-x86.x86_64.run from their site) [18:39] doc_brown: grab the latest sun java [18:39] TBeholder, seems like it won't let me install them,.. li'm going to keep playing with it though [18:40] Mion, from the repos? [18:40] dpkg -l lists the packages, am I missing some option that has it actually inspect the individual files for changes? [18:40] jamalfanaian what it says? [18:40] TBeholder, "X Server: unable to detect" [18:40] i guess i am confused as to where java installs. into the OS, or into the browser? [18:40] TBeholder, I'm researching online to see what the cause / resolution for the issue is [18:41] jamalfanaian what X server? it supposed to be installed from recoveryt console [18:41] doc_brown: yes [18:41] MrNo To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F4 and select safe graphics mode then press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash use the noapic acpi=off options before the "--" [18:41] TBeholder, I tried from the recovery console and it gave me this error, I figured it may need X running to work so I logged in to gnome and tried, same error [18:42] doc_brown: java installs in the OS in /usr/lib/java but there is also a browser plugin. When you use a web page that has java on it, it uses the browser plugin which relies on the copy of java on the system. [18:42] jamalfanaian weird. for me, ATI driver installer works from console [18:42] Breetai, thank you [18:42] doc_brown:You can also run java programs such as limewire, or jbidwatcher directly on the OS, using the copy of java that is installed on the system [18:42] Jack_Sparrow that on the x32 or the x64 bit? I tried safe graphics mode only and it failed on 64 bit [18:43] doc_brown: you are welcome. [18:43] Breetai, makes perfect sense now [18:43] <_chun> Now I'm getting "unprivileged user cannot mount ntfs block devices using the external FUSE library" [18:43] i guess i need a java plugin for opera [18:43] doc_brown: installing ubuntu-restriced-extras will get it for you. [18:43] MrNo THere are many many different options to try, the one I gave works on many 32 and 64 bit systems [18:43] ok thanks [18:43] !ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:43] 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 [18:44] doc_brown, isnt java enabled in opera when you installed it? [18:44] doc_brown: or you need to get opera to use the current plugin. There is usually a list of plugin paths. I.E. seach /usr/lib/mozilla /usr/lib/firefox, ~/.mozilla, etc. [18:44] doc_brown: or you can copy the plugin into the opera plugins folder, either the system wide one your the one in your home directory. [18:45] _chun sudo wil grant you permission === Qtpaxa2 is now known as Qtpaxa [18:46] Breetai, /usr/lib/opera/plugins is empty [18:46] shall i download the .bin and move it into that folder? [18:46] <_chun> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, I know, but it's annoying having to mount it manually every time I plug it in [18:47] Does anyone know about a software that would let me monitor a remote computer directly from my desktop (like conky for a local computer) [18:47] FUCK [18:47] hola how can i have permission to change my udev files in ubuntu 9.04 [18:47] !test [18:47] sigh... again?

[18:56] Pici two bots and air support? === cooldude is now known as cooldude[movie] [18:56] There's a typo on the UNR main page title, says Nebook instead of netbook [18:57] swatTX check in setup, ALSA vs. OSS, then check proper volumes and checkboxes from tray icon's context menu [18:57] kenthree: you can log a bug at bugs.launchpad.net in ubuntu-website [18:57] swatTX: did you ever have sound? === cooldude[movie] is now known as cooldude[away] [18:58] TBeholder, where is setup at? === _Ranakah is now known as Ranakah [18:58] !away > cooldude[away] [18:58] cooldude[away], please see my private message [18:58] Breetai, yes I did but just updated after not using the laptop for a while and now sound isn't working [18:58] Whats a good way to quickly send a bit of text to another computer on a network (such as a URL)? Preferably something built into Ubuntu? [18:58] any advice on cdrom not being detected during ubuntu server isntall? [18:59] swatTX uh, i haven't it right now. you know, in main menu, next to admin section. there's "Sound" somewhere [18:59] rkitect There was a bug silimar to that, but I honestly dont remember much about it. [18:59] Pici, I thought the problem was to send away announces, and not changing nicks [19:00] Ursinha-packing: Nick changes are annoying too (though much less than awaymessages) [19:00] any ideas why I can't type a question mark with my microsoft ergo keyboard [19:00] I can type the / fine, but if I hit shift-/ I get nothing [19:00] hmm, make that right-shift-/ [19:00] hey guys i have C src. i ran ./configure && make. where is the executable file ? [19:01] TBeholder, ok I found the sound under System->Preferences->Sound... now what do i check for? [19:01] Is modifying /etc/hosts.deny enough to keep a certain ip range from any connection what so ever to my pc ? [19:01] grkgeek: no [19:01] the right-shift key works fine with any other key, just not the / key [19:02] swatTX there's device and system, you need to check for both ALSA and OSS whether it buzzs when you press test button [19:02] grkgeek, not really, host.deny is used by a few services, you should use iptables to block traffic from a certain IP [19:02] grkgeek: only works for stuff that uses (x)inetd [19:02] grkgeek: btw, hosts.deny should deny everything and everyone, and you should only open up for what you need in hosts.allow instead [19:02] BlueAidan_work maybe, you have something bound to this key? [19:02] grkgeek: but, anyway, use iptables [19:03] TBeholder: this is a fresh install of ubuntu 9.04 [19:03] Is there any way to easily modify iptables without having to redo the work everytime i reboot ? [19:03] just installed on Friday. I just noticed it's not working correctly [19:03] TBeholder, none of the test buttons produced any sound. [19:03] BlueAidan_work is it the same in console (ctr-alt-F1) or only in X ? [19:04] yes [19:04] it doesn't work anywhere === florin_ is now known as floryn [19:04] keyboard worked fine in XP [19:04] swatTX then check speakers, right-click sound icon in tray and search for proper control while test still runs so you would hear it [19:04] hey there, whts the command to figure out wht version of ubuntu i have? [19:05] i always forget it [19:05] Help - im a newbie and i have 9.04 installed, everything works but my sound. all my souunds play at double speed, everything sounds like chipmunks. how do i fix this? [19:05] TBeholder: the multimedia keys work [19:06] BlueAidan_work now that's weird. [19:06] hi, is it possible to run the catalyst drivers on Ubuntu 9.04 with a Mobility Radeon 9700 CarD? [19:06] TBeholder: xev isn't recognizing any input when I do right shift - / [19:06] it recognizes left shift - / [19:07] TBeholder: I mean, it recognizes r_shift but not when I hit the / key [19:08] Does anyone know of a howto that actually works with Jaunty and jack? [19:08] Mion: Is there any way to easily modify iptables without having to redo the work everytime i reboot ? [19:08] TBeholder, i tried all the different devices under volume control and none produced any sound. i hit the test button and in volume control went to File->Change Device and tried Alsa, OSS, and PulseAudio, no joy. [19:08] BlueAidan_work now it's triple weird. with M$ keyboard and 9.04 it should be double weird at most. [19:08] grkgeek: yes, several [19:08] grkgeek: search the tldp for iptables [19:08] TBeholder: heh [19:09] just about to install ubuntu it says as an option install inside windows like any other applicationi am in xp now how does it do that ? [19:09] SuspectZero: lsb_release -a [19:09] Mion: thank you will look into it [19:09] hi there....can anyone offer a suggestion as to why I can view content within a smb share when logged in as sudo, but otherwise I am told I dont have enough permissions? [19:09] swatTX i'm at loss. is hardware all right? [19:10] almost I wont suggest nor recommend using wubi to install, but if you insist, insert disk while running windows and you should get an option to install [19:10] having trouble in jaunty with iwl3945...problem seems to be here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263541 === Don is now known as Guest94127 [19:10] how can I get an updated kernel? 2.6.29 [19:10] ty Slart [19:10] Im setting up a webservice on my computer thats behind a router.

[19:13] Jack_Sparrow; IT says like any other application sounds like a dual boot situation [19:13] almost It does dual boot, it is not like a program inside windows.. for that you can use virtualbox [19:13] zeno for me, restarting alsa demon (with gksu) worked [19:14] Volkodav, did you check in #nvidia [19:14] not yet [19:14] almost My personal opinion.. Anything.. is better than wubi [19:14] hi there....can anyone offer a suggestion as to why I can view content within a smb share when logged in as sudo, but otherwise I am told I dont have enough permissions? [19:15] So I just tried installing the open-source ati drivers but I can't boot [19:15] ok well I have vmware workstation running with linux no X suppose i could also install virtual box [19:15] I went in recovery console and restored my old xorg.conf but it's still giving me issues :( [19:15] I've tried reinstalling the mesa packages and what not but still offers no help [19:16] can anyone help with getting the ov51x-jpeg module working with my eyetoy webcam? I've got the driver compiled and installed but none of my apps see the device. It worked ok with the default drivers apart from in skype where i just got big pink bands through my image [19:16] whats wubi? [19:16] Hi, my drives couldn't open and this error appear:"unable to mount the volum.."..plz help me [19:16] jamalfanaian, What open source driver did you try installing [19:16] !wubi [19:16] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[19:16] well i tried the radeonhd because it said it supported my card [19:16] !jack [19:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about jack [19:17] almost And contrary to what it says there, I dont feel it is safe [19:17] chuck_, i was installing the radeonhd drivers [19:17] Jack_Sparrow: unsafe through personal use ? or [19:17] mikebeecham: you should just try to login and be met by a username and password challenge, enter the details for the machine you are trying to log in to and hit the 'save this forever' button (works for the three machines round here anyway!) [19:18] Jack anyone?? It is kickin' me %&^... [19:18] Sometimes when I restart my machine I get a busy box error saying that the root hard drive is not found, So i need to restart a couple of times for it to work. I have tried switching from UUID notation to direct /dev/sda1 but that didnt help. [19:18] almost If you lose power to your PC you can lose everything including your ntfs/windows [19:18] any fixes? [19:18] chuck_ kumadam__ said he has it configured and advised to check on nvidia.com [19:18] !xorg [19:18] heh [19:18] rothchild: this is not happening. I have set up the share under fstab, with 5 other shares...all other shares work fine...but there is this one rogue folder that tells me I dont have permission. However, all 6 have been set up the same [19:18] Jack_Sparrow: notnice [19:18] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [19:19] Absolute01 One suggestion, the next time it boots, backup your system [19:19] Jack_Sparrow: ?? [19:19] good morning/evening/afternoon everyone [19:19] Jack_Sparrow, thats very unlikely [19:19] almost It even says it in the fine print in the wubi faq [19:19] I dont get this error in other distros [19:19] Jhodas Well.. It did happen to ME [19:19] Hi, I created a usb boot disk using UnetBootin. It boots, but it can't seem to find the vesamenu.c32 file. [19:19] Jhodas and it HAS happened to many others [19:20] jamalfanaian, did you change your xorg.conf file after installing [19:20] I am looking for an answer about hardware programming on an ubuntu box and I hope I could get any hint on how to start so far ... please === danorsk is now known as danorsk[afk] [19:20] Jhodas It has supposedly improved, but I still wont use it [19:20] chuck_, yes but i have since reverted that to my backup, and it still didn't fix it [19:20] Jack_Sparrow, I dont see how you would lost NTFS [19:20] ahmad, believe most driver programming is done in C [19:20] Jhodas Then do some reading. [19:20] my printer (HP deskjet 840c) prints but there is no ink on paper (?) can some1 knows what to do ? under WinXP everything works fine :( [19:20] ahmad, there are books on writting kernel modules [19:21] Jack_Sparrow, OK. :/ forgive me for being curious [19:21] Titan8990 - so we consider this as kernel programming? [19:21] Jhodas I fought hard for them NOT to include it [19:21] wubi that is [19:21] español? [19:21] !es [19:21] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [19:21] !es [19:21] hi [19:22] ahmad, yes, drivers are typically never in userspace [19:22] ahmad, there are exceptions though [19:22] Jack_Sparrow, NTFS? === ahmad is now known as D`N`D [19:22] ahmad, example - the fuse module allows for ntfs drivers to run in userspace [19:22] Jhodas No, I did not want them to do include the wubi thing... [19:23] Titan8990 - I wanted to start by accessing USB ports .. when I tried to look for the /dev for a file representing the port I am interested in, I lost my way [19:23] kk [19:23] ahmad is now D`N`D .. someone owns ahmad [19:24] D`N`D, what is the end goal? [19:24] Question I had when I am using compiz and I am on one side of the cube...at the bottom when a window blinks I click it..how do I get it to automatically switch me to that side of the cube where that window is? [19:24] jamalfanaian, do you still have the ati fglrx driver installed, and can you pastebin the xorg.conf file you had with the radeonhd driver [19:24] pegon /join #compiz they might know [19:24] Titan8990 - playing around and trying to get into hardware, later writing a graphics driver for an unsupported card [19:24] Hi there. After upgrading to 9.04 every torrent download resets my dsl modem after a while. With 8.10 there's no problem. Any ideas ? [19:24] okay thanks [19:25] i copied the entire contents of a drive using dd and gzip -- im having trouble reversing the process - can someone help point me the way [19:25] mikebeecham: sorry I'm no expert, my hacky option would be to create a new folder copy the contents in to it and try setting up sharing on it again! (inelegant I know but it may save you bashing your head against something obvious that's become invisible to you ;-)) [19:25] bowman_ I have a similar issue, it turned out to be AT&T dsl issue [19:25] D`N`D, that is a rather difficult thing to break in to [19:25] D`N`D, a major reason being that most companies do not want you to know how their code interacts with their drivers [19:25] jack_Sparrow but why with 9.04 only ? [19:26] D`N`D, linux has many of the exceptions and I am unsure in which direction to point you in [19:26] Titan8990 - there must be a point to start with [19:26] D`N`D, possibly look at the code for the ohci_hcd module [19:26] D`N`D, that is the kernel module that handles USB [19:26] chuck_, well i can't pastebin because i'm on the recovery console (or at least i don't know how) but i followed exactly what https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD said for the xorg.conf [19:26] which was adding the driver and busid params to the driver section [19:26] jamalfanaian, install wgetpaste [19:26] my busid was PCI:2:0:0 instead of 1:0:0 [19:27] jamalfanaian, MYCOMMAND | wgetpaste [19:27] ok, let me log that [19:27] does 9.04 has a problem with the intel graphics driver ? I read a couple of blogs about it [19:27] jamalfanaian, that will send it to pastebin for you [19:27] Titan8990, Thanks :) [19:27] Titan8990, didn't know such tool existed [19:27] how to downgrade 9.04 back with minimum loss? except "copy entire disk somewhere"? [19:28] jamalfanaian, there are actually a couple different ones but that is the one I am familiar with [19:28] !downgrade | TBeholder [19:28] TBeholder: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [19:28] fine with me, it's already half-broken. =) [19:28] anyone here that can help me with a usb boot disk ? [19:29] Gosh the vesa drivers don't even work :( [19:29] guess I need to reboot the machine [19:29] i mean can i manipulate packgages or something to roll back a step? [19:29] jamalfanaian sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list is another example of how to do that [19:29] wow, 43 bug fixes [19:30] TBeholder That is what backups are for === eso_ is now known as eso [19:30] D`N`D: that would depend on what you have installed, what security updates you get [19:30] Titan8990 - sorry to re-ask, if I am interested in the programming side of linux, which channel is the proper one to discuss such thing? [19:30] Jack_Sparrow yeah,i suppose i'll have to do it hard way... [19:30] TBeholder: I guess you might, perhaps, possibly, one in a thousand chance, be able to uninstall the newer package and reinstall the older one.. but I think you'll be better off reinstalling completely [19:30] how do i uninstall my current version of python so i can downgrade it? [19:31] akidd116 You can have multiple versions [19:31] Hi Anyone know of how to configure privoxy and tor for firefox? I just dont seem to get it right. [19:31] D`N`D, uhh I would have to say ##linux [19:31] How do I setup a 3D card on here [19:31] I gotta run, please play nice.. [19:31] sebsebseb - not sure so far, I just fired the download and my machine is not stable now [19:31] D`N`D, but also there are kernel dev IRCs and language specific ones [19:31] well, i have python 3.0.1 but it seems to not like to play nice and id like to use 2.6.2 [19:31] hello [19:31] akidd116, just curious, was that actually available in ubuntu or did you manually install it? [19:32] D`N`D: ok I don't know what your issue is even, since I only joined here a little while ago [19:32] ellis: hi [19:32] titan8990: im pretty sure i manually installed it [19:32] kdc1956: first of all install your graphics card driver if there is one availalbe === kop__ is now known as kop [19:32] kdc1956: system > administration > hardware drivers [19:32] akidd116, ehh... you should do a little homework on that, 3.0 destroyed backwards compatibility [19:32] ok thanks [19:32] sebsebseb - it's ok, I just came for dev questions and Titan gave me great help, thanks to all of you [19:33] akidd116, regardless of what their mission statment about backwards compatibility says [19:33] D`N`D: ah ok [19:33] so I have to part now, and will re-join tomorrow ... thanks all [19:33] titan8990: well, my main problem seems to be that the python-tk i have is not compatible with what i have...or something like that [19:34] akidd116, everything is likely not compatible... they even went as far as to change the print statement from: print 'hello world' to: print('hello world') [19:35] need help to configure initramfs to boot from my primary drive /dev/sda1 as well to recognize my dmadm raid 5 setup on 3 drives, after config and boot I only get to (initramfs) prompt, and cannot continue? [19:35] Titan8990: in py2.6 you can from __future__ import the new print() function, so it _kind of_ works. [19:36] Hi, I'm writing in ubuntu "man fread" and get the result "No manual entry for fread", any ideea in witch packaged normaly all standart library docs should be in ? [19:37] bye room [19:37] Jack_Sparrow if i installed kubuntu packgage and chose KDE, it uses Kwin instead of Metacity, right? [19:37] then if the issue persists where that bug should be? right in xorg? [19:39] Slart if i installed kubuntu packgage and chose KDE, it uses Kwin instead of Metacity, right? [19:39] then if the issue persists where that bug should be? right in xorg? [19:39] what is the maximum # of files ext3 filesytem can support in a single dir ? [19:41] !sudo [19:41] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[19:43] kumadam: just save the file? [19:43] slart i made changes but i cant save [19:43] yaris123456789: i think wikipedia has this info. they have a file system comparison [19:43] kumadam: save the file [19:43] its not saving [19:43] it says no permission [19:44] Ok, so where does one log bugs against the distribution kernel? [19:44] mikebeecham: a wild guess.. samba sends the current username when you try to access a share, perhaps the root user has permissions to read it and your regular user hasn't [19:44] kumadam: then start the editor using gksudo, then you'll be able to save [19:44] hola a todos [19:44] hmmm: so if each file is 50kb. it supports 40 million files [19:44] this will do [19:45] Slart: just to throw a spanner in the works: I have created 6 shares all exactly the same. The other 5 are fine, but this one is as described...any further ideas...or how do I assign permissions to my login? [19:45] !es | yeimi [19:45] Slart: can u give me the code pls?

[19:46] akidd116: drag the window? or.. are you using compiz? [19:46] does anyone know how to configure the X server on a headless system to where VNC connections will have a bigger resolution? [19:46] akidd116: right click o the meni bar, there's an option in there. [19:46] This should be an easy one, how can I ssh run a program and leave it running after I exit the terminal? Probably should use "screen" for that... syntax ? [19:47] Piet, yeah, but that I do usually with something like apport, ... [19:47] deserteagle: set the max and min frequencies in the xorg.conf file.. and setup a few resolutions.. I think the reason it defaults to 800x600 is because it doesn't find a monitor to interrogate for valid frequencies [19:48] kmkz: does & after the command do that [19:48] cuddlefish: nope...tried that [19:48] cuddlefish: it will be killed when you exit the terminal, afaik [19:48] can someone tell me how to use grep/sed/whatever to return the string in between the string --->"t": "<--- and --->",<--- [19:48] Piet, and admittingly I haven't found that many bugs irritating enough to file something, ... [19:49] Piet, but an unusable system is irritating enough ;) [19:49] Slart: yeah...looking through it now and nothing is immediately obvious to me [19:49] if "t": "bob", was the string how do i get get bob? [19:49] lolo: #bash would be a better channel to ask this in. [19:49] what should i do if I have file system error in ubuntu? [19:50] lolo: use cut [19:50] :/ [19:50] mikebeecham: what about permissions for the actual folders that are shared? [19:50] hola a todos [19:50] OrEvA, try running fsck from a live cd [19:50] did you run ubuntu version of a chkdsk? [19:50] OrEvA: use fsck ? [19:50] thats it... fsck [19:50] !english > yeimi [19:50] yeimi, please see my private message [19:50] file system check [19:51] My 2.6.28-11-generic does not survive even a minute of burnK7 before it shutdowns :( [19:51] yacc: are you saying you see some (only) non-critical kernel warnings/oopses/bugs but your system is unstable/unusable? [19:52] yacc: is it just that kernel? it works with the older kernel? [19:52] Piet, well, with 2.6.28-11 (but not the older ones), my laptop has the tendency to overheat. Often. [19:52] Slart: all folders are sitting on my mac and have been given read and write permissions for everyone [19:52] I'm using soundconverter to try to convert ogg to wav, importing an ogg file gives me "No packages with the requested plugins found -- The requested plugins are: Ogg demuxer" What to do? Using gmusicbrowser or rhapsody I'm fully capable of playing the very same ogg file [19:52] yacc: then i would think that maybe one of these warnings/oopses/bugs can actually be critical, and you should still report it. [19:52] are there any tools to sync my files on my remote linux machine and my PC ?? [19:52] Slart, I did write a script and tried it out with two 2.6.27 kernels which where able to survive two instances of burnK7 for a couple of minutes without any troubles. [19:53] semanticpc, other than ftp? [19:53] Piet, no oops. [19:53] yea ..... [19:53] Piet, just a kernel that for whatever reason does not keep the CPU cool. [19:53] mikebeecham: then I'm out of ideas.. you could try making samba print some debug info.. see if you can see what happens when you try connecting.. or do the same on the server side.. see if it tells you why access is denied for that one folder [19:53] my mind keeps going to dropbox... not sure of license, but free.. let me check to see if they have a linux build [19:53] Piet, the shutdown is "correct", as in the correct thing to do with a CPU going near 100° C [19:54] Piet, the difference is that the older kernels survived the same (more or less) workload without going critical. [19:54] Free for Windows, Mac, and Linux [19:54] does anyone know how to configure the X server on a headless system to where VNC connections will have a bigger resolution? [19:55] aldaek: ill chk tht thanx [19:55] HOLA A TODOS [19:55] yacc: did you look into a better fan controller and power saving features? [19:55] semanticpc: you are very welcome. :) Like i said, not sure of the license. [19:56] Piet, the hardware is fine. The older kernels survive burnK7 fine. [19:56] what should i do if i have file system error? [19:56] Piet, so logically it's a bug in the new kernel package ;( [19:56] aldaek: the basic edition is free === erle64- is now known as erle- [19:57] OrEvA: try a "fsck" from a live cd/dvd. [19:57] Piet, and yes, I'm currently running at 800MHz/powersave locked in, so that I can use the laptop at all. [19:57] Piet, but somehow castrating the hardware so that it can run somehow is not the point. [19:57] ALGUIN HABLA ESPAÑOL O FRANCES [19:57] yacc: the old fancontrol sucks remarkably [19:57] !es | yeimi [19:57] yeimi: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [19:57] !fr > yeimi [19:57] yeimi, please see my private message [19:58] Piet, well, in my experience the new one seems to suck => the old kernels, and Intrepid have run stable without issues for months. [19:58] yacc: is this a thinkpad by chance? [19:58] yacc: not really, no [19:58] wow... dropbox is gpl licensed [19:58] I need to print just one page out of a pdf doc. Page 11 of 28. My printer setup does not give me the options to select a single page. I am using the default printer drivers that come with Ubuntu and Document Viewer. How can i fix this? [19:58] Y COMO AGO ES QUE SOY NUEVO EN ESTO [19:58] ohh aldaek here the server space is provided by them .... but i actually i have my remote server too [19:58] aldaek:fsck fails to do any thing [19:58] Piet, HP 2050tx (AMD dualcore tablet convertible) [19:58] PORFA UN POCO DE AYUDA [19:58] do you have any hard drive diagnostic utilities then? [19:59] johnP: I'm surprised it isn't configurable in the print dialog.. but you can use some command line tools to extract the page you want and save it to a new file.. then print that [19:59] Piet, it's certainly possible that in some abstract way the new fancontrol is "better", but it's certainly not better at keeping my laptop running ;) [19:59] aldaek: i dont know....like what [20:00] johnP, which PDF reader? [20:00] Slart; i have no idea what commands to use to do that.. but first.. is there another way to accessthe printers dialog?.. im just going to print setup from the File menu.. [20:00] when connect my usb hdd external drive it doesnt show on my desktop...how do I fix that ? [20:01] heff: mount it [20:01] johnP: that's the only one I know of [20:01] how do I do that ? [20:01] I am using Document Viewer to view the PDF [20:01] johnP: or rather.. press file, print.. you should get a new dialog [20:01] johnP: the print setup thingy is just for selecting what printer to use and such === eugen_ is now known as Guest34663 [20:02] I see.. i need the options for the print setup.. such as print preview and such [20:03] perhaps its a limitation of the Document Viewer and i need a better pdf viewer? [20:03] yacc: :) apparently not. [20:03] johnP: what happens if you select, File -> Print .. you don't get a dialog window where you can select, All pages, Current page, etc [20:03] johnP: print preview isn't available in the document viewer [20:04] Piet, well, usually I can appreciate design beauty, clean code and all these other attributes of a good solution. Anytime. Well anytime but times where my personal hardware acts up ;) [20:05] johnP: or wait.. I have a "Print preview" button at the bottom of the print dialog.. pretty useless though, it just opens another window that looks exactly the same =) [20:05] Oh yeah.. your right.. i get optiions then.. DOH!.. i guess i overlooked that. [20:05] sorry. [20:05] yacc: i was just looking for some improved fan controlling daemon a freind of mine made, but can't find it right now, apparently it's not online yet. anyway, how about hacking your own dynamic fix for now, using cron and lm-sensors? [20:05] i think i can do what i need to do from here.. the dialog that comes up with Print [20:06] yacc: i agree that's a bad workaround for an apparent kernel or other software bug [20:06] yacc: well you have not said this, yet, but i guess you would [20:06] hi [20:06] Piet, not sure if I can control the fan => anyway, for the time being I'll survive by either getting the nvidia module working on the older kernels, or by locking the box to 800MHz manually. [20:06] how do i change the resolution on an X server when I dont have a monitor plugged? [20:06] could someone help me with ubuntu? im on the live cd to test it [20:06] yacc: it would surely be better if you could file a bug report and try to find out if it's really the kernel causing it or some ther software you upgraded, too [20:07] Piet, no other software. [20:07] I have just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my girlfriends laptop. During install I created a user for me 'tdn'. When the install finished, I created an admin user for her 'hhc'. When I use it, it regularly pops up with security updates. But when she uses it, it does not. How do I fix this? I have checked today that there are several updates. Why is she not notified? [20:07] yacc: so debugging becomes much easier already, please file a bug report. [20:08] Piet, I took an hour off, booting all kinds of kernels and trying to burn them. 2.6.28-11 does not survive even 60 secs, while the older kernels all managed without any troubles for a couple of minutes. [20:08] tdn - does she belong to the admin group? [20:08] Piet: I'm just filing it. [20:09] O.k. Crown me Idiot of the day. it worked fine, thanks Slart! [20:09] Piet: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/378065 <= for all to see. [20:09] And now it's dinner time :) [20:10] yacc: thanks [20:10] hey, which option in php config disables warnings? [20:11] tomas_ - errorlevel? [20:11] soulfreshner, yes. [20:12] Hello. I'm having some trouble using userdir in httpd.conf. I followed these instructions: http://www.easy-ubuntu-linux.com/apache-modules-ubuntu-configuration-2.html. However, when I restart my server and go to http://localost/~myuser, I get a beloved 403 Forbidden error. [20:12] anyone tell me what I need to do to get cgi working? I have the cgi-bin showing but when I try to run a cgi in it, firefox tries to download the fil [20:12] soulfreshner: thanks [20:12] np :) [20:12] i did openoffice presentaion slide,its too slow when i begin and it gets struck, whats alternative??please help [20:12] hi ! is this page still up-to-date ? http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/ibm/db2 [20:12] JosefAssad, then your Apache is not recognizing it as an executable, ...

[20:13] when i start slideshow, it just hangs [20:13] hey yacc, I missed you on #python-xlib I'm not really an expert but maybe I could help you if you wanna get back in there [20:13] tomas@fugu:~$ grep errorlevel /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini [20:13] nothing [20:13] ker2x: 7.10 is no longer supported. [20:13] Does 'pavumeter --record' show volume on a linear or on a logarithmic scale? [20:13] Pici: but the page tell to DL the 7.10 for DB2 : http://www.ubuntu.com/partners/ibm/db2 [20:13] that's why i'm confused :) [20:14] ker2x, Pici: that's weird.. why not use the LTS version for those things.. [20:15] Zeigt 'pavumeter --record' die Lautstärke auf einer linearen oder einer logarithmischen Skala an? [20:15] Hello, how do I make a proper debian/ubuntu package? [20:15] yacc: alright. Is that something in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf? [20:15] There's no good documentation on the internet. [20:16] latest DB2-C is 9.5.2 ... and probably have the same software requirement ... [20:16] ker2x: I suggest that you either take a look at the forum linked from that page or contact Canonical directly about it [20:17] hm, module cgid already enabled [20:17] LordKenTheGreat: you're right...no info at all on the net - http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=4&url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D2683&ei=ELQRSrnPI5SEtwej_8T-Bw&rct=j&q=how+to+create+a+.deb+package&usg=AFQjCNHmmvvU_kWqrzq9Upja-Dua7Ad1iQ [20:17] oh, online forum. i didn't saw it. thx :) [20:17] hiii [20:17] (mmm, it's a link to IBM's forum :/ ) [20:17] Sorry, I just loaded that now...

[20:20] Ademan: some fonts problem [20:20] actualy its a bug in version from synaptic [20:20] let me give u the link [20:20] LittleJ: a documented bug?

[20:22] i'd like to try xmms2 but i can't figure out which of the many gui clients to try [20:22] does anybody know how I can make my webcam work on homepages? ex. blogtv.com !? [20:22] OrEvA and I have a question about marking bad blocks so the fs does not use them. How do we do this? [20:22] well i have prroblems with gtk+-2.0 [20:22] Hi people! [20:23] LittleJ: sure, is it saying you don't have it? you need the libgtk2.0-dev package (that may not be the exact-exact name) [20:23] mgmuscari, I use xmms1 but I quite liked exaile when I used it. [20:23] How can i do to see a dvd video in the iso file format? [20:23] deany: been a while since i tried xmms1... does it have good support for media library searching? [20:23] i have it instaled ademan [20:23] thats exactly the problem... [20:23] Ramon - can't you download it? [20:23] mgmuscari, no media library, just a standard play which is what I want. try exaile. [20:23] deany: i've been using winamp on this computer for the longest time, but i finally became too fed up with windows and just wiped it [20:24] and yea its exactly the same name [20:24] LittleJ: can you make a paste of your error output at http://www.rafb.net/paste ? [20:24] try apt-get "program name" [20:24] mgmuscari, xmms is more like winamp than exaile is. [20:24] sure just a second [20:24] or rather, just your entire output [20:24] does anybody know how I can make my webcam work on homepages? ex. blogtv.com !? [20:24] dont forget the sudo in front [20:24] what does sudo mean? [20:24] mgmuscari, but no library [20:24] ah yes [20:24] deany: yeah, i'm looking for something that's similar to winamp 5 rather than winamp 2 [20:24] sudo [20:24] everything's like sudo, lol [20:24] switch user do [20:24] sudo means it will just work [20:24] lol [20:24] with ur hardware [20:24] etc [20:24] chemikalz hahhahahah [20:24] idk its magic [20:24] chemikalz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:25] deany: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5 [20:26] people, this is the problem with ubuntu and linux...ITS NOT USER FRIENDLY...like windows! ;D [20:26] ;) [20:26] after u mess with it a bit it is [20:26] i havent touched my vista boot [20:26] since i installed [20:26] ubuntu a few days ago [20:26] epiro, i have th iso image of the film, and i want to see it without mastering it but directly from the iso image. How cn i do it??? [20:26] and also, there is not real support as they promise it would be... ;) [20:27] Please don't feed the trolls. [20:27] Ramon - I don't know!

[20:27] Hello all :) [20:27] Seeing as Ubuntu is an african word, maybe someone here can help me with my query. When I was younger I lived in South Africa, and my mother used to tell me about some of the black south africans that believed that there was a monster that lived under their beds, and that some of them would raise their beds up on stacks of bricks so that the little monsters could not reach them. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what this devilish little creature was called. [20:27] ? isent xorg supose to have mouse and keyboard and ( monitor name a resalution ) and i have screen set at 1280 x 1024...if i restart pc..it goes back to 1024 x 768 [20:27] Ramon: just mount it to a folder somewhere and open that folder in your favourite video player [20:27] !mountiso | Ramon [20:27] Ramon: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify downloaded ISO images using !MD5 before !burning. [20:27] LittleJ: alright, do you have python-gtk2 and if so try installing python-gtk2-dev [20:28] Ramon - Instead of complaining to me, you should be thankfull that I am trying to help you! :) [20:28] lol str1ke [20:28] !ot | Str1ke [20:28] Str1ke: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:29] anyone know how to make steam work through wine [20:30] oh wait...that was a joke [20:30] d'oh [20:30] do i really have to reinstall wine [20:30] first [20:30] Ramon: you're welcome [20:30] !who | chemikalz [20:30] chemikalz: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:30] does anybody know how I can make my webcam work on homepages? ex. blogtv.com !? [20:30] chemikalz: dual-booting is much better [20:30] i can dual boot [20:30] i just like ubuntu :) [20:30] I have a uri to a .deb package, how can I install it on my ubuntu box? [20:30] epiro: that would depend entirely on how those webpages are constructed.. === crd1b is now known as crdlb [20:30] hm [20:31] well [20:31] Eloff: if you have a gui just download the package with firefox or something, then you can double click on it once you've downloaded it [20:31] Thanks ademan [20:31] Eloff: I'm not sure if you can feed a uri to apt-get.. you might have to download the package first.. then install it with gdebi or something like that [20:31] Eloff: alternatively you can use wget to download the package and use sudo dpkg -i to actually install it [20:31] deany: winamp lite actually does work fine under wine. winamp full has problems drawing the gui [20:31] Eloff, dowload it somewhere, then CD to that somewhere, then "sudo dpkg -i package.deb" [20:31] Anyone have experience using either 'puredata' or 'Csound' for audio synthesis? ChucK just will not work on this machine or some reason and there's no IRC channel...etc...Ubunutu *does* have packages for other though. [20:32] How do I build the package if make only builds one binary in the same working directory? [20:32] oi [20:32] Slart - It's blogtv.com ! I can run my webcam on cheese, but it doesn't recognized on blogtv.com ! should it recognize? [20:32] LordKenTheGreat: what package? [20:32] Has anyone been able to use their HDMI port (Nvidia) under ubuntu? [20:32] oi di [20:32] LordKenTheGreat, are u sure there is no deb for your app [20:32] mgmuscari, ill stick to xmms, super lite and winamp presets are perfect, which is my main need...they dont seem to import very well in other programs. Audacious gives out high pitched scratchy noise with them, otherwise i`d use that. [20:32] To all new ubuntu-users in the channel - welcome! You've made the right decision :) [20:32] im going to try csound [20:32] WiiTCPload. [20:32] i used pro tools on mac [20:32] cara - no, not me... [20:32] ...mainly wondering which might be more "mature" I guess. [20:32] epiro: I doubt it.. it sounds like some proprietary windows thing.. [20:32] tcpdump -w tcpdump.log gives me packet data.. how to i get it to dump the output it shows to a log file.. only success i have had is tcpdump > tcpdump.log, but this doesn't actually dump to the log until i kill the command. anyone know tcpdump? better place to ask? [20:33] WTF? did they break it? [20:33] oi di [20:33] deany: yeah, there doesn't seem to be much of a reason to use winamp lite over xmms :) [20:33] Slart - Yeah... :/ [20:33] oi [20:33] deany: one thing that i definitely miss so far is gapless playback on mp3's [20:33] quenhe [20:33] I've checked for an existing deb. [20:33] vc [20:33] grendian: why not try wireshare or one of the other guis out there? [20:33] ElectricHeavyLan: I haven't the slightest clue but why not go with the one with the package and then if you find you don't like it try the other one? [20:33] oi [20:33] And the version I have (SVN) is the only one that works. [20:33] Slart - but there is a way to fake it, like all other windows monopoly programs [20:33] Slart, wireshark* [20:33] !br | ana [20:33] ana: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [20:33] mgmuscari, I dont like players that have big windows like amarok/exaile.. Just used to having a winamp like player in corner of screen all the time. [20:34] grendian: sorry.. wireshark [20:34] chemikalz: nice to hear that,wish every other person dealing with kerspersky and its ignorance to system files in an attempt to scrape of viruse wakes up to the beuaty of linux some day [20:34] eseven73: thanks =) [20:34] @slart i'm not using a gui [20:34] Ademan: true...might as well. [20:34] oi [20:34] I'm not going to give up with packaging this... [20:34] prudent idea to wipe / and /home for ext4 now, (is grub stable enough to work itself with ext4?) [20:34] these wobbly windows things in ubuntu Jaunty, is there any way to turn off how they "stick" to the sides and resist dragging? [20:34] * grawity waves at LordKenTheGreat [20:34] nvmvictor: :) [20:34] deany: yeah, i don't like to give up screen real estate either. i pretty much just use this PC as a media center though, and my library has about 27,000 songs in it, so i need something with good media library support [20:34] grendian: there are ncurses guis too.. .. I've never used just plain tcpdump [20:34] * LordKenTheGreat waves back at grawity.

(I understand that, I *hate* doing things outside of dpkg/apt) if that's the case you might check out #ubuntu-motu they package things all day long there, they'd know what's what [20:35] Eloff_: install that, then go to system, preferences, Compizconfig-settings-manager, find the plugin for snapping windows or similar.. disable it [20:35] oi [20:35] well, thanks [20:36] ana: /join #ubuntu-br [20:36] chemikalz? why is it amusing that I'm running Jaunty?

[20:37] gtl: but it's always better to use a 64bit package [20:37] LordKenTheGreat: no problem. also though, if it's just a single binary without any shared objects and such, you could just sudo mv the_binary /usr/local/bin which is where things go when they weren't installed via apt [20:37] chemikalz: later programs in the non LTS's [20:37] chemikalz: later versions of [20:37] !br | ana, last chance.. english only in here [20:37] ana, last chance.. english only in here: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

I have checked today that there are several updates. Why is she not notified? [20:44] Anyone know where I can find the ubuntu equivalent of madwifi-source in debian?

My music is in that drive, and when I go back into Vista I cannot see that drive even existing and I can't access my music. I'd like to either uninstall Ubuntu [20:45] thanks Myrtti [20:45] or make it so I can access my music from both Ubuntu and Vista [20:45] tdn:looks like shes got no permissions to install packages or updates [20:45] moron think u wiped ur drive [20:45] Great.. [20:45] Slart, 2GB [20:46] chemikalz well, i suppose in two weeks more or so all the worst will be quick patched. it's just a question of reliability - don't install too big and new stuff into critical systems, other than that it's fair game [20:46] help with roaming ip anyone?? [20:46] i can access my windows music [20:46] right away [20:46] tdn: is she in the admin group? you may also need to ensure the Update Notifier daemon is running at login for her the command I have is 'update-notifier --startup-delay=60' You should find your entry though in system->preferences->startup applications it should be named 'Update Notifier' and the command can be seen by selecting it and hitting the 'edit' button [20:46] cuz i was careful with partitions [20:46] m0r0n: I didn't think the ubuntu installer just destroyed existing partitions.. but it sounds like that might be what happened [20:46] when i started installing [20:46] enterneo: then go with 32bit [20:46] enterneo: 64 bit isn't any faster and the 32bit version has more users so it's a bit better tested [20:47] ubottu - ok, please help me then...how can i get my webcam working when on vista i just need to plug it in and enjoy it while here i have to hang for 3 days before I MAYBE can make it work?!?

[20:48] Hi , anyone knows how i can remove all panels in ubuntu and only have gnome do as a dock? [20:48] m0r0n look that link. linux can see NTFS without much issues [20:48] m0r0n: there are some drivers for reading ext2/3 partitions in windows.. but I would go with ntfs for a shared space [20:49] !fuse | m0r0n [20:49] m0r0n: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems.

And I have not changed anything about start up programs. [20:50] semanticpc: it should only transfer the parts that were changed.. plus some overhead of course [20:50] tdn: she may be lacking that update notifier daemon though, it's worth looking into that [20:50] Ademan, how do I check the update-notifier from command line?

[20:54] I'm trying to transfer some files from my ipod--.tiff and .gif files. I can open them on my roommate's Mac, but on my Ubuntu machine it tells me there is insufficient memory to open them with imageviewer (these files are 1 or 2 MB). Other .tiffs that are already on my harddrive open just fine. GIMP hangs when I try to open these files with them. I am occasionally getting an indexing error dialog box that doesn't seem to do anything. [20:54] moron do it from linux not windows [20:54] m0r0n see where? you have to mount it. read manual, look into /dev to see how it's called and go on [20:54] Ok, good bye people! [20:54] TBeholder: I hate jaunty, it upgraded my amarok and it cant play files now - it disabled my virtualbox - liked intrepid better - and anyways i rarely use ext4 [20:55] I installed my .deb package, anybody know where I find it now?

[20:55] m0r0n - hahahahah...i can't see the files either...it doesn't seem to have a c drive [20:55] lol i updated, and all my music is missing now..lol [20:55] Guys, google couldn't help. Tried installing midori 0.1.6 from a .deb file on my Jaunty AMD64, and apt gives me this error: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.6.13)". Can anyone help?

[20:56] ninjafury: there is a ppa for midory that works quite well [20:56] !ppa | ninjafury [20:56] ninjafury: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. [20:56] Eloff_: try running this in a terminal "sudo updatedb; locate wingide" [20:56] anyone know of any video conversion program that has multi core support [20:57] moron you just put a new hard drive in your machine? [20:57] Eloff_ where it was targetted to. there was some option to look into .deb or if you did it with aptitude GUI it shows where files go, so you can make new launcher [20:57] Eloff_: it might take a minute or so (the updatedb thing looks through all your files and builds an index.. locate searches that index) [20:57] The only reason I like using linux is xchat is free here -- in windows its shareware!!! [20:57] erUSUL, I downloaded the .deb file from launchpad, and still get this error [20:57] julian__: I think there was a build of mencoder that did multi core.. not sure if it's in by default [20:57] thanks Slart got a bunch of hits on it now, I should be able to figure it out from here [20:57] Owner_: there are free versions of xchat for windows too.. you just have to search a bit [20:57] I tried locate wing earlier, but I guess it was that updatedb that did the trick? [20:58] ninjafury: well the problem is tht you need other pdependencies from the same repositorie [20:58] well im using Devede right now on a quad core machine. but it only utilizes 40 percent of the processor [20:58] Owner_, Xchat is free from silverex [20:58] Eloff_: you could also try typing wing and press .. if there is a program that starts with wing it will autocomplete for you [20:58] Eloff_: correct.. updatedb updates the index thingy [20:58] Owner_: it's free in windows too, if you compile it yourself or find it online compiled by someone else (that's what I did) [20:59] tdn: unfortuantely it's gonna be a bit longer, the gconf key I want isn't making itself immediately obvious [20:59] tim to see if music is there? [20:59] Slart: thanks again [20:59] moron have you recently added a new hard drive? [20:59] Owner_ technically, MirandaIM under wine is free too. ;) [20:59] julian__: mm.. devede is more bling bling than raw power... but it's very easy to use.. something that mencoder can't really be accused of [20:59] Eloff_: you're welcome [20:59] Owner_, http://www.silverex.org/news/ [20:59] erUSUL, also the version of midori in synaptic is out of date. So PPA is the way to go. How would I resolve the dependancy? [20:59] Hey guys Im having a really weird problem with Ekiga Softphone (voip application). Everytime I open it up and start a call the network resource monitor in the system monitor says that i start uploading like crazy (550+ KB/s), when I only have roughly 30 KB/s (max connection upload speed). And during this time of massive upload, my call does not get disconnected in the sense that the time keeps on running, but i lose audio on the call, it actually does stop a [20:59] nd if i open firefox i cant go to any website, not even google.com will load. However when I close ekiga, the crazy uploading stops and i can browse the web again. What could this be? Thanks [20:59] ninjafury: there is no need to resolve them if you add the ppa repo and you install midori you are set u [21:00] Ademan, ok. [21:00] Slart, TBeholder, soulfreshner: Glad for the advice -- looking into it :) [21:00] .tiff and .gif files from my ipod won't open-- i get "not enough memory" despite being able to open much bigger files already on my harddrive [21:00] I see. I mean devede is in fact really easy to use and it creates the iso file reading for burning. just wish the conversion went a bit faster [21:01] eheitner I think itunes changes the files so ipod can read them [21:01] julian__: what version of devede are you using? [21:01] lol --- its called Y chat hahaa [21:01] julian__: in mine I have a "use optimization for multi core cpus" [21:01] Hi all, has anyone a W5Fm Asus Laptop?

[21:16] * erUSUL ^_^ [21:16] AmnesiaUK: no.. nautilus would be the explorer equivalent [21:16] AmnesiaUK, X with NT [21:16] yeah... [21:16] AmnesiaUK: X is.. well.. not sure what the windows system is actually called [21:16] with what can it be compared, cause than I can get a better idea what X actually is [21:16] AmnesiaUK, thats the comparison x is to linux as NT is to windows [21:17] AmnesiaUK: it's basically the display server [21:17] I believe [21:17] AmnesiaUK: have a look at the wikipedia page for X.org or just X.. it's pretty good [21:17] AmnesiaUK: they have pages for "desktop enviroment" "window manager" etc too [21:17] Ademan: maybe gdi gdi+ in windows up to XP in Vista they changed it to avalon or something equally "cool" named [21:17] AmnesiaUK: it can draw simple windows, but window managers like compiz and metavity actually manage the windows and decorate them [21:17] *metacity [21:17] okay.., [21:18] so there isnt a name for the windows "X variant"? [21:18] hey guys i have a strange issue with ubuntu, i 've just plugged in the headphones into my laptop but i get sound from both the headphones and the main speakers [21:18] erUSUL: eh? tab completion gone awry?

[21:23] tdn: it won't be overwriting anything, unless there's already a update-notifier.desktop in her ~/.config/autostart which I sincerely doubt. however I do think that command I gave you won't change anything [21:23] redrebel: hmm.. that's possible.. but thunderbird should be able to handle thousands or even hundreds of thousands mails without stuttering [21:23] bubba: #ubuntu-server ?

[22:02] samd: I think mine is a samsung.. 32 GB [22:02] So, I use my ipod to transport files. I run rythmbox on it, not itunes. I put some .tiffs and .gifs on there. When I try to open them on my laptop at home I get an error that there is "not enough memory" to open them--the average file size we are talking about is 1 or 2 MB. I can open .tiffs that are much larger, 25MB, that are already on my harddrive without a problem.

[22:02] TankEnMate: why don't you use "equivs" to create a fake sysvinit package, with a higher version than debian's, and which doesn't conflict with upstart [22:02] Slart, alright, i think ill drop some cash on an intel,, ill take a look at samsungs too [22:02] !de | bscbsc [22:03] bscbsc: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[22:43] raylu: last i tried any of the 'read extX' tools under windows 7 - dident work either.. but that was a few months ago. [22:43] gletob: What is a complete restart? [22:43] muse: Hmm. Good question. [22:43] kr0y: does ubuntu server use Network manager? [22:43] muse: Yes for the desktop, but as far as server goes I'd probably just kickstart it. [22:43] muse: from the server cd, yes. from a desktop livecd, painfully [22:43] Peeeeeet: I hope to heck not. [22:43] jack_sparrow,my dvd will not burn and it sais there is no location [22:43] kr0y, right now It restarts the kernel I want it to go to POST. [22:43] muse Install the live version add the server pieces and remove the desktop if you really dont need it [22:43] crom09 http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [22:43] Jack_Sparrow: That's painful. [22:43] I've got a CD stuck in the drive. Button isn't responding. Eject tells me there's an IO error. I just need to get the CD out *now* [22:43] DarkRavin What application are you trying to use for burning [22:43] Oli``: Straightened paperclip. [22:43] Jack_Sparrow: that's messy [22:43] Dr_Willis: ext2ifs still worked in beta1. you just had to set the drive every boot [22:43] KB1JWQ: I don't think it does [22:44] Oli``: Should be a pinhole on the drive. [22:44] ty [22:44] th0r because the internal one is the the one I'm trying to mount, not the external, which mounts fine... [22:44] Peeeeeet: I have always used the desktop edition. How did you used to connect to Internet? [22:44] kr0y: Edit the network scripts by hand usually. [22:44] kr0y: editing /etc/network/interfaces [22:44] Duo__: ok. Put '-force' in the mount command line and see if that works [22:44] Not sure where ubuntu sticks 'em, they're in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts in RedHat land. [22:45] jack_sparrow,ive tried MagicISO,brasero,and k3b [22:45] ok, I'm running flash now!! [22:45] thanks [22:45] DarkRavin, try this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linuxquestions.org-member-success-stories-23/howto-burn-iso-image-on-cd-using-the-command-line-tool-cdrecord-643827/ [22:45] howto i can record stream audio in mplayer ? [22:45] DarkRavin Will it burn an iso on a CD? [22:45] KB1JWQ: yeah, ubuntu keeps them in /etc/network/interfaces, at least I know 8.04 did, I'm wondering about 8.10 [22:45] Peeeeeet: Yep I used to edit /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf too when my Network Manager broke. And that always used to help [22:45] My screen resolution will not stay at 1680 x 1050, it keeps dropping to 1280 x 1024. My xorg.conf is here: http://aeon.pastebin.com/m34272132 [22:46] DarkRavin as in right click an *.iso and write to disk [22:46] kr0y: yeah, both of those are still corect (still set to what made it work in 8.04) but in 8.10, no internet connection :( [22:46] Peeeeeet: Do you use wireless or wired connection? dhcp or static IP? [22:46] kr0y: wired static IP, all set correctly in config file [22:47] Peeeeeet: What does sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart give as output? [22:47] Yo. I've got no sound in 9.04 (lspci output http://pastebin.ca/1426844 ), already tried alsamixer (everything unmuted) but still no sound, what do I try next? [22:47] Hi [22:47] didn't change the config files, so something about 8.10 being different or uninstalling / installing something different [22:47] Duo__: there is the possibility that the reason the drive will no longer boot is that it has failed...in which case it won't mount either [22:47] scipts in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ don't run [22:47] Can someone help me please? [22:47] kr0y: sorry, no idea [22:48] denysonique: chmod +x? [22:48] Peeeeeet: does ping 127.0.0.1 work? Just to check if your network card is correctly functioning?

[22:49] so top 10 must have apps on ubuntu wats everyones opinion please [22:49] kr0y: yeah, and I can ping my router, but anything outside of that (needing to use the gateway address stored in "interfaces") doesn't work [22:49] system4041: this is not the channel for that [22:49] its ubuntu channel is it not [22:49] !best > system4041 [22:49] system4041, please see my private message [22:49] its an ubuntu question [22:49] system4041: this is for ubuntu support [22:49] system4041: yes, but not for taking polls [22:49] system4041: try #ubuntu-offtopic [22:49] is there a way to set up host name aliases like in /etc/hosts but without the ip address?

[22:59] Hi everyone, im running compiz on jaunty and i was wondering with the desktop cube when you spin it and change spots on the cube is it supposed to just minimize everything and remember the positions of everything on each desktop? because i was hoping it was like each side is a different virtual desktop [22:59] seems in forums to b most popular option === cs278|laptop is now known as cs278 [23:00] system4041: KDE3 is the one you maybe can't just install, not sure untill I have clean installed my current Ubuntu set up, and put on proper 9.04 on, instead of what I got now which is basically 9.04, but uh nevermind [23:00] sebmck: err.. each side is a virtual desktop here.. [23:00] raylu, Thanks a lot! :) [23:00] ntfs-3g is a program I elevate to the highest level of awesome for desktop linux usability [23:00] Keyboard indicator applet shows "??" instead of Russian somethimes.

[23:01] system4041: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [23:01] sebmck: each side is individual but I think it keeps the objects on the task panel the same for all sides [23:01] system4041: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop [23:01] raylu, wine.. is great but it also add complexity.. ntfs-3g removes it [23:01] I have uograded this, my EEEPC to 9.04. On boot, it says that it uses 8.10. Why? [23:01] sebmck: the 'task bar panel item' hs settings to show 'all' or 'just current desktop' items [23:01] Selecting blubuntu-themes in Synaptic gives the following error : "blubuntu-theme: Depends: gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks but it is not going to be installed" and doesnt install.

[23:02] AE_, some commands are aplay -l and aplay -L and a nice script in #alsa [23:02] system4041: you do it from the log in screen, you change the session [23:03] raylu aptitude why-not blubuntu-theme [23:03] Unable to find a reason to remove blubuntu-theme.

More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [23:11] system4041: the simplest LOL [23:11] thanks raylu [23:11] system4041: hang on i'll get you the link [23:11] kl cheers sebsebseb# [23:11] i looped my audio out port to my mic in port and im trying to record it through audacity but it wont record, does any1 knwo what i might be doing wrong [23:11] m4rk: the simpler answer is /etc/apt/sources.list [23:11] AE_, is anything like surround sound or shared audiop jacks or anything wierd.. [23:11] system4041: the simplest solution is to use the command line when you know the name of the program you want to install :) [23:11] well i want kde3 [23:12] AE_, and one last question is has the audio ever worked :) [23:12] hello need help someone here tell me type chown -R 1000:1000 /home/kad which is i want all files to be to user 1000 but when i try to open using GNOME give me error ICEauthorize my uid is 1000 any help ? [23:12] m4rk: go to system>administration>software sources [23:12] i'm trying to get my win key to work. in Xmodmap i have it set to Super_L but it doesn't seem to be working. When i try to bind it in any application it doesn't say "Win + Whatever" it just shows some block character. do i have to do something with the "Mod" feature in xmodmap? http://pastie.org/482145 [23:12] hm, I dont know, I just got this laptop from work dotblank [23:12] Quick question is there any way to restart npviewer without having to restart firefox? [23:13] so how to get kde3 on 9.04 [23:13] AE_, maybe the audio is disabled in the bios [23:13] AE_, also try headphoens [23:13] system4041 and Dr_Willis https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty [23:13] I'll check bios [23:13] https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty [23:13] Tried headphones, dont work either [23:13] can anyone here answer a linux mint install question? [23:13] quit [23:14] should my iptables chain be empty (does that mean it is accepting everything or nothing)? [23:14] system4041: the idea is for you to have, Gnome/Ubuntu, Kubuntu KDE4, Kubuntu KDE4, as well as XFCE/Xubuntu installed [23:14] AE_, if all else fails you can either try 1. a differant OS, 2. manually adding updated alsa drivers, 3. or get a new laptop (might actually be broken) [23:14] system4041: how big is your partition though for Ubuntu? [23:14] Peeeeeet: yes, unless you have rules it should be empty [23:14] hmm. now I see the "Macromedia Flash plugin" in the Adept Installer, but it is greyed out. Why is that? [23:14] I booted (my dell inspiron laptop) onto linux mint install CD, but when I click the "install" icon nothing happens [23:15] my partition for ubuntu is 5 gig sebsebseb [23:15] system4041: oh dear no [23:15] i just download a .iso torrent that came in three .rar files. how do i combine them into 1 bootable .iso? === kim_ is now known as kimf [23:15] system4041: don't install this big stuff yet then [23:15] awww ok [23:15] system4041: your not on some stupid netbook or something? === wolf-man is now known as Necromankas [23:15] Hey folks [23:15] onthefence928, if it is split archive extracting them should automaticly read from the others [23:15] Keyboard indicator applet shows "??" instead of Russian somethimes. Is it a known problem? And it lists only "USA" in groups, although it switches to Russian correctly. [23:16] no i reserved 100 gig for windows ats wat i use mainly and 50 for backup and 5 for ubuntu the otha 5 is system [23:16] system4041: Linux programs do not take up that much space, but only 5GB for them is rather small [23:16] anyone know a comparable solution for ubuntu to windows remote desktop sharing like gotomypc? [23:16] hello need help someone here tell me type chown -R 1000:1000 /home/kad which is i want all files to be to user 1000 but when i try to open using GNOME give me error ICEauthorize my uid is 1000 any help ? [23:16] system4041: Windows yeah, well let's get you off Windows if we can :) oh I think you will want to more, when you installed the things I said, however the space issue hum [23:16] LogicFan, Yes. it is included in ubuntu by default under remote desktop [23:16] How to i install a .tar.bz2 file? [23:17] can someone help...i made a script to encode a movie with mencoder w/ rox but i would like the output the be the sources name ....any ideas? [23:17] !tar | Necromankas [23:17] Necromankas: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [23:17] dotblank, afaik, thats VNC based? [23:17] onthefence928: you extract the first one and it should get the data fromthe other 2 as needed [23:17] i would like to come away from windows once i know a bit more about what im doin on linux [23:17] dotblank, yes it is [23:17] LogicFan, yes it is [23:17] system4041: 5GB is to small for Ubuntu really [23:17] sebsebseb: i feel that !tar should mention... tar [23:17] system4041: espeaily when your going to install loads of programs [23:18] raylu: and it begins with.. tar ;) [23:18] raylu: I used !tar yeah and it does not say about installing them [23:18] raylu: well that's the link I guess [23:18] dotblank, i dont want to have to make the person i'm trying to help setup a server. i want to view their windows machine from my ubuntu machine [23:18] i dnt want loads of progs i just need the basics music video bittorrent and burners and convertors [23:18] system4041: how did you install Ubuntu? [23:18] what's teh best way to keep 5 hosts locally updated, just point each one to a source, or mirror locally and then update, or ... ? [23:18] well, you can't merely install a tarball; that doesn't make sense [23:18] I booted (my dell laptop) onto linux mint install CD, but when I click the "install" icon nothing happens [23:18] hello, I have a problem with sound here... only amarok works, and sometimes VLC after two tries, and totem... but no sound in firefox, opera, konqueror... or kaffeine and other media players [23:18] via cd sebsebseb [23:18] e.g. email a link, they click, 5 seconds later i'm viewing their desktop [23:18] !aptmirror [23:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about aptmirror [23:18] system4041: using the installer? or did you set up partitions yourself? [23:18] system4041: heh - you basics are all for 'enterainment' it seems :) [23:19] okay, how about this, is there some sort of command that will just resolve a hostname for me? like i type in google.com and it tells me what ip address google is? [23:19] used the installer [23:19] system4041: loasd of programs? well there are loads in the background to libraries and stuff [23:19] sebsebseb raylu file-roller is there by default, Necromankas probably means install from source tarball [23:19] Peeeeeet: whois [23:19] !info apt-mirror [23:19] apt-mirror (source: apt-mirror): APT sources mirroring tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.5-1ubuntu2 (jaunty), package size 12 kB, installed size 120 kB [23:19] system4041: Linux distros are designed to have many programs installed :) unlike Windows [23:19] LogicFan, Ah yes.. there is a remote desktop client in ubuntu that will let you connect to a VNC server or a RDP server [23:19] SiDi: i know [23:19] h\ [23:19] CQ: ^ === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam [23:19] raylu: thanks, I'll have a look at it... [23:19] damn, whois is not installed [23:19] LogicFan, but no matter what a PC you want to control has to be running a server of some sorts [23:19] Peeeeeet: host, nslookup, dig [23:19] raylu: I have 5 boxes that are fairly similar but not identical in terms of packages... [23:20] i need msn irc music video bittorrent convertors burners and im gd [23:20] Peeeeeet: you can also ping google.com to see what the ip address is [23:20] i fink [23:20] Hmmm, how would i install wine101.tar.bz2? [23:20] CQ: you could host a mirror of most of ubuntu's stuff [23:20] system4041: no 3D gaming or whatever? [23:20] Is this the proper place to ask as to why git doesnt work on my system behind a proxy? [23:20] Necromankas, why not use the ubuntu repo [23:20] dotblank, yes, but as transparent to the user as possible. like gotomypc, copilot, webex, etc [23:20] system4041: no Windows 3D gaming or whatever? [23:20] no use windows for that windows is more compatible [23:20] Quick question: is there any way to restart npviewer without having to restart firefox? Yes or no. [23:20] hello, couls anyone help me with my sound problem? it seems serious [23:20] I tried, it's not working on a game i want to play though [23:20] is there any way to tell if it is pulling from local cache or actually getting it from the dns server I designated in resolv.conf [23:20] ? [23:20] system4041: yes, but thought you wanted to get rid of Windows? [23:20] CQ: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/mirror/1 an ubuntu releases mirror is only ~40GB [23:20] plus i dnt do much gaming on laptop have my wii 360 and ps3 for that [23:20] LogicFan, well there are many programs that run a vnc server silently.. [23:21] system4041: that's a bit backwards [23:21] Necromankas: you won't because this is not the way you should. Use the packages at winehq.org/download/deb [23:21] Peeeeeet: not sure, check the man pages [23:21] I am having trouble with my video I have a laptop with the Intel X3100 video chip and I can not get compiz or 3d acceleration to work [23:21] system4041: things are more compatible with windows, not the other way around [23:21] system4041: 5GB is to small for Ubuntu really [23:21] Once again, i did that. [23:21] only game i play on lappy is unreal tournaments 3 [23:21] system4041: 5GB for Ubuntu is just big time suckey [23:21] It's not letting me fully load Guild Wars though. [23:21] dotblank, yes, getting them set up remotely is the tough part. [23:21] especially when the user is unfamiliar [23:21] Necromankas: are you on 64-bit? [23:21] Necromankas: you mention wine 1.0.1.tar.bz2, ie. the source of wine 1.0.1, which is exactly the same than in the repository [23:21] raylu: probably not worth it then, 5 boxes download a whole lot less than that if all update separately... some sort fo a local caching server would be cool though, i.e. host 1 retrieves something, and host 2 needs it too... [23:21] Peeeeeet, there is no dns cacher unless you set it up, not native on the system [23:22] LogicFan, well yea.. that is a problem. [23:22] I recently installed Win7RC and found its graphics amazing. My Ubuntu install is getting jealous. I have seen aero themes for Gnome, but what about the cross-fading wallpaper slideshow? How can I get Ubuntu to do that? [23:22] system4041: Ubuntu with a seperate home that is going to be used for data, well 16GB. or if your not really going to use home for data you could have home in a 16GB / [23:22] can someone help me work out why would nautilus give such a warning - http://paste.ubuntu.com/175231/ ? [23:22] I'm on a 32bit machine [23:22] hello, I have a problem with sound here... only amarok works, and sometimes VLC after two tries, and totem... but no sound in firefox, opera, konqueror... or kaffeine and other media players [23:22] system4041: what I am getting at here, is that really your Ubuntu partition should be made bigger :) [23:22] sebsebseb well how do i expand my partition into my windows space then [23:22] Necromankas: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9194 [23:22] so if i am able to resolve google.com to it's correct IP address but no pings come back, any idea why? [23:22] system4041: it's XP on there yes? [23:22] raylu: sort of an apt-mirror-cache [23:22] no windows 7 [23:22] Read it, it still down't work :( [23:22] CQ: the advantage of having a mirror server is faster installation of packages. if you're on one machine and decide you want to try something out, you can get it faster [23:22] system4041: Windows 7 geez [23:22] Peeeeeet, it might because you have blocked internet access... [23:22] It was working ealier... [23:22] yeah [23:22] Just not now. [23:23] im gr8 with windows but as i said totally new to linux [23:23] CQ: but there isn't anything like what you mention that i know of. the closest thing is apt-p2p [23:23] system4041: Vista version 2 in other words, and it shuts itself down every 2 hours starting March 1st 2010 and stops working on 1st June [23:23] Peeeeeet, you have connectivity to your DNS server, but no network connectivity to those IPs, either because you have a misconfiguration, or a network problem [23:23] dotblank: is there a way to inadvertantly do that on the ubuntu server? [23:23] Peeeeeet, alot of companies and organizations filter icmp requests [23:23] raylu: that's not that much of a problem... [23:23] CeasarIsOut: this sounds like the first (and hopefully the last) time that windows does something first, but neither GNOME nor compiz can do that, afaik. [23:23] yes thats the 1 RC version [23:23] CQ: i'm not sure if you can configure that to be within your network only, though. i'm sure you could firewall it or something ,though [23:23] Peeeeeet: they may not allow response to ping. [23:23] system4041: anyway if it's like Vista in the partition regard, NTFS 5, your meant to resize in Windows 7 [23:23] system4041: or you can lose data [23:23] hello? [23:23] hello again.. any of u guys use kiba-dock with gnome? [23:23] i have compiz installed, but i still dont have that cool mac like widget doc [23:23] system4041: did you resize in Windows 7 before? in disk management? [23:23] well the partition isays windows vista believe it or not [23:23] Peeeeeet, I ahve to know your network setup and config in order to answer that [23:23] any ideas? [23:23] can somebody send me the link to python [23:24] th0r: but I can ping and conenct to the net from any otehr machine behind said router (like this irc session) [23:24] chemikalz, its kiba-dock :P [23:24] i resized 7 to get my 5 gig for this ubuntu [23:24] chemikalz: try cairo-dock or awn [23:24] chemikalz: compiz is a window manager, not a widget dock [23:24] got it from a friend but lost it [23:24] SiDi, OK, drat what about 3rd party options? Are there any? [23:24] hmm im gonna try those [23:24] hello, I have a problem with sound here... only amarok works, and sometimes VLC after two tries, and totem... but no sound in firefox, opera, konqueror... or kaffeine and other media players [23:24] Who knows how to install a tar.gz ??? [23:24] system4041: ok well make it even smaller :) maybe even as small as it will go by not putting anything in size [23:24] Peeeeeet: and I would know that how? Sounds like you have a connectivity problem with that one server [23:24] ralu or sidi whats sudo apt get command for those [23:24] dotblank: wired from ubuntu server 8.10 to switch to router to outside. all static ips [23:24] Peeeeeet, perhaps you dont have a default route but your DNS server is on the current lan so it is able to resolve [23:24] how do i do that now ive installed ubuntu [23:24] kiba dock fucks my cpu, both of them puts them into 100% and i can't use mouse / keyboard [23:24] system4041: Ubuntu can also read and write to your Windows partition no problem, as long as Windows was shut down properly [23:24] chemikalz: apt-cache search [23:24] !language | meanguy [23:24] CeasarIsOut: not that i know of. There have been many changes written to GNOME's wallpaper support last summer but they apparently still didnt release it. I guess you'll have to wait :/ [23:24] i did it before with ubuntu disk [23:24] meanguy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:25] Peeeeeet, run netstat -rn [23:25] can anyone help me please? i'm a beginner [23:25] sooooryyy [23:25] raylu: apt-p2p might work, I'll have a look at it [23:25] Peeeeeet: what does 'route -n' respond with? [23:25] !ask | cecilia [23:25] yeah i know that i read all my media from my windows partition [23:25] cecilia: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:25] Can someone help me. I dont know how to install a tar.gz file please someone help me! [23:25] system4041: by booting up Windows 7 and doing disk management as I just said, by not putting anything in size, making it as small as it will go :) [23:25] hello [23:25] CeasarIsOut: though, its possible to get wallpapers to change (see weather and time based wallpapers), but i dont think they have the fading effect you're looking for [23:25] alrightie, awn and cairo, letme try them out [23:25] norrisg1, what are you trying to install ? [23:25] hello, I have a problem with sound here... only amarok works, and sometimes VLC after two tries, and totem... but no sound in firefox, opera, konqueror... or kaffeine and other media players [23:25] all my music and video from windows i access thorugh ubuntu [23:25] help me out. Kernel Panics all the time... - System temperatures are normal [23:25] system4041: by the way if you have enough RAM, and you don't want to 3D Windows game or some such, you could just virtual machine Windows 7 inside Ubuntu :) [23:25] th0r, it responds with the routing table without name lookups [23:26] i have 2 gig ram is that enough [23:26] dotblank: I know that .. I want to know what routes he has defined in the router [23:26] dotblank: oops...in the server [23:26] system4041: that is enough for a virtual machine of Windows 7 yes [23:26] SiDi, OK, fading isn't abolutely necessary, really. I just get bored with the same BG. The time-based sounds good. [23:26] joaopinto i IM you [23:26] kl i may consider that once i completely cross the devide to linux [23:26] norrisg1, do not, please keep on the channel, there is more people to help you here [23:26] got a lot more to learn before i go there though [23:26] oh what ever [23:26] system4041: well you should do the partition thing now really :) [23:27] dotblank: netstat -rn says http://paste.ubuntu.com/175234/ [23:27] hello when i log on give me error $HOME is unwirtable must permission be 644 when i do ls -l drwxr-xr-x 80 kad kad 4096 2009-05-19 01:24 kad [23:27] what's wrong [23:27] CeasarIsOut: you should google about this. It's based on an XML file containing the true wallpapers, so you can just put yours in the file. (XFCE has this random wallpaper per session feature, btw :p) [23:27] i cant read b/c everyone talking that why i IM people when i need help [23:27] th0r: same thing [23:27] helper: well... that's not 644, is it? [23:27] joapinto [23:27] hello, I have a problem with sound here... only amarok works, and sometimes VLC after two tries, and totem... but no sound in firefox, opera, konqueror... or kaffeine and other media players [23:27] I have a sound card, the lspci gives me a: 'IXP SB4x0 High Definition Audio Controller by ATI Technologies' The aplay -l gives me: 'card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]' I am running Xubuntu 8.10 and would like to install the updates but not sure if it'll 'break' my sound card. Anyone know if it will? It works fine without the updates. [23:27] Peeeeeet, whoa... [23:27] kl so when i resize the partition and reboot ubuntu will simply have more space and thats that is it [23:27] system4041: make Windows 7's partition as small as it will go in disk management :) and also assuming you don't have tons and tons of big files in there? [23:27] oh and this is all over a bridged connection [23:27] I am sticking with 8.10, not upgrading the distro, just installing some updates. [23:27] helper: 644 is rw-r--r--, i believe [23:27] system4041: not quite [23:28] ahhh [23:28] joaopinto can you help me? [23:28] how u mean [23:28] raylu, ok [23:28] norrisg1: you can't install a .tar.gz file, it's an archive containing source files that you have to compile [23:28] Peeeeeet, are all 3 nics really needed? [23:28] system4041: then when more space is availalbe you go on the Ubuntu Live CD, and make Ubuntu's partition bigger in the partition editor [23:28] !source [23:28] Peeeeeet: you are routing everything out everywhere...I dont think that will work [23:28] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [23:28] dotblank: i bridged all 3 nics [23:28] norrisg1, maybe, if you answer to my question, what are you trying to install ? [23:28] SiDi, OK, thanks. XFCE is a little too simple for me, but I'll Google for the XML thing. Thanks! (Gosh, it's a busy day) :-) [23:28] ElectricHeavyLan, if its working i would not touch it [23:28] Peeeeeet, can you run ifconfig -a? [23:28] cant i expand ubuntu inside ubuntu [23:28] joaopinto im trying to install apachae [23:28] Peeeeeet: and if I read this right...you have three interfaces on the same network? [23:28] th0r: i am willing to accept that, but this exact same config worked before [23:28] CeasarIsOut: you have no idea about how mine has been ;) good luck with google ! [23:29] system4041: you need to be on the Live CD to make Ubuntu's partition bigger, and there also needs to be unallocated space on your hard disk as I already said [23:29] hi. how can i disable that annoying "grey-out" effect for applications, that are stuck in some way? if i have a lot of tabs open in opera for example, there comes a "grey barrier" that bars me from clicking anywhere in that window [23:29] norrisg1, apache is available from the repositories, please check http://help.ubuntu.com, you really need to learn the basics, like how to install software on ubuntu [23:29] Peeeeeet, Ideally you do not want an addresses on nics that are bridged just on the br0 [23:29] th0r: one is connected to the switch, the otehr two are connected to other computers routing themselves through the server (using it as a mini 3 port switch) [23:29] i think my best plan of action would for now to use my 5 gig partition to run ubuntu and learn more about it and when im ready simply cross over to a full ubuntu system [23:29] system4041: maybe your thinking it's an advantage to be able to resize an OS's partition when that OS is running, yes well maybe that is or it isn't, but either way Linux file systems are way better than Window's is [23:29] whats the repositiories [23:29] seems more logical too me [23:30] this isnt on the add remove list joaopinto [23:30] hello, I have a problem with sound here... only amarok works, and sometimes VLC after two tries, and totem... but no sound in firefox, opera, konqueror... or kaffeine and other media players. Do you know how can i fix this? [23:30] !repos | norrisg1 [23:30] norrisg1: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [23:30] joapointo this is for web server [23:30] anyone? [23:30] dotblank: i didn't make a circle network or anthing, only one of those nics goes to the switch [23:30] Peeeeeet: I don't think that will work. [23:30] norrisg1, apache, the web server, is in the repositories ! [23:30] as i said i fink it best i wait till i learn more bout the os then simply completely crossover to a full ubuntu system [23:30] system4041: well Ubuntu with just Gnome apps, is not that great really. you need some KDE in there :) however you can install good KDE apps without installing the whole of KDE anyway [23:30] th0r: it did before I upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 [23:30] How do I mount my HDD from the liveCD? [23:30] Peeeeeet: ok [23:31] norrisg1, on the terminal: sudo apt-get install apache2 [23:31] th0r i'm not saying youa re wrong, it is antirely possible that this config shouldn't have worked in the first place [23:31] all those apps i can get when i crossover my main priority now is to learn more about the os and its capability [23:31] !repo | norrisg1 [23:31] norrisg1: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [23:31] ty joaopinto [23:31] gettin all the cool apps etc can wait [23:31] norrisg1, it is not on Add/Remove, because it's a server application, not a desktop one [23:32] th0r: and after upgrading to 8.10, something was "fixed" and thus my bad config stopped working [23:32] how come I can't install the Ubuntu Dell iso i burned to a disc? [23:32] Peeeeeet, ok.. this is my guess as to why this isnt working.. for the 172.16 network it has br0 as its chosen route (br0) BUT for the gateway it is running out of eth2.. [23:32] system4041: well then I suggest you go through the synaptic package manager properly [23:32] system4041: looking at pretty much everything, or the kind of apps your intersted in, that's divided in sections [23:32] dotblank: so it goes down the list as it's shown? [23:32] Peeeeeet, this would explain access to local devices but not outside [23:32] I have a mini 9 netbook, don't understand why I can't [23:32] how i get in to synaptic manager [23:32] dotblank: i agree, that would make sense [23:32] is that the add remove thing [23:33] hello, I have a problem with sound here... only amarok works, and sometimes VLC after two tries, and totem... but no sound in firefox, opera, konqueror... or kaffeine and other media players [23:33] system4041: nah, add or remove programs thing is for newbies and it isn't that good [23:33] Peeeeeet, ithink.. because they all seem to have the same metric.. btw are you using /etc/network/interfaces? [23:33] system4041: it's a cut down version of synaptic [23:33] Peeeeeet: you say one interface is connected to the switch, that route should be the gateway and the default (dest 0.0.0.0) [23:33] so how to synaptic [23:33] system4041: system > administaration > synaptic package manager [23:33] Peeeeeet: each of the other two interfaces should have one ip for a destination, the ip that it is connected to. [23:33] ok will give it a whirl thanks very much for all the advice sebsebseb [23:33] Peeeeeet: and they should not be gateways [23:33] very much appreciated [23:33] joaopinto ok i installed now where do i find the aplication [23:33] th0r, not for bridging the only iface that should even have an address is br0 [23:33] dotblank: yes I am, maybe i should change the metric in there to stack it correctly [23:33] system4041, click administration at the top, then you will see it there [23:33] raylu, when i do 644 give me error can't create /home/kad/Desktop ... when i try 774 for /home/kad when i try log give me error permission must be 644 so ? [23:34] joaopinto i cant find it [23:34] system4041: let's find out how much space is already used on there [23:34] how come I can't install the Ubuntu Dell iso i burned to a disc? [23:34] and thanks for ur patience with all the noob questions [23:34] Peeeeeet, can you paste your interfaces file? [23:34] I have a mini 9 netbook, don't understand why I can't [23:34] dotblank: yeah, hold on [23:34] system4041: search in synaptic for diskfree or kdiskfree [23:34] norrisg1, like I said, you dont know the basics, please read help.ubuntu.com, you read a full tutorial [23:34] !find kdiskfree [23:34] Found: gtkdiskfree [23:34] norrisg if you can't find it how will you use it ? [23:34] i did [23:34] system4041: gtkdiskfree that would do it :) you can install that in synaptic [23:34] hello, I have a problem with sound here... only amarok works, and sometimes VLC after two tries, and totem... but no sound in firefox, opera, konqueror... or kaffeine and other media players [23:34] dotblank: I am not sure he can do bridging....that would take everything from one interface and send it out another, and that is not what he wants [23:34] i cant see admin [23:34] joaopinto cant you read what ive been saying???????/ [23:34] system4041: ,but installing programs via command line is faster and better :) [23:35] helper: not sure why it wants 644, actually. there is a gdm configuration tool. i'd set it to 744, though [23:35] dotblank: http://paste.ubuntu.com/175241/ [23:35] system4041: system > administaration [23:35] norrisg1, you did not read, otherwise you would not be trying to install apache from source ! [23:35] please read it with more attention [23:35] got it [23:35] raylu, it insist for 644 [23:35] is it possible to specify some persistence file to the live jaunty cd at boot? [23:35] joaopinto, i know i figured that out a few min back [23:35] th0r, I think it is because he wants to avoid routing on ubuntu machine.. so he makes a virtual switch.. the actually switch he has doesnt serve much purpose besides connecting server and router together [23:35] raylu: my monitor is black, how do i get sound? [23:35] helper: in the gdm configuration tool, you can set it to not check file permissions [23:35] hi!, I'm having some troubles installing libcv-dev, I keep getting this error message: libcv-dev: Depends: libhighgui-dev (= 1.0.0-6.1ubuntu3) but it is not going to be installed, does anyone knows why is this? [23:35] roflmao [23:36] raylu: i can't see / hear anything [23:36] dotblank: that is pretty much correct. I just wanted two more ethernet ports near my server [23:36] norrisg1, please read some tutorial on how to use apache, it is installed, it is running, now you need to understand how linux works, and how a web server works [23:36] helper: i'm pretty sure it means that it wants files within the directory to be 644, not the directory itself [23:36] !commands | norrisg1 [23:36] norrisg1: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:36] system4041: how much space is taken up? [23:36] hi everyone, can someone help me? I have the following error when trying to do "menuconfig" ::Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting [23:36] CIAO [23:36] dotblank: I think I will sit this one out....might learn something [23:37] i'm using Ubuntu 9.04 [23:37] !LIST [23:37] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [23:37] i cant see it sebsebseb [23:37] raylu, ok i'll do chmod -R 644 /home/kad ? [23:37] hello, I have a problem with sound here... only amarok works, and sometimes VLC after two tries, and totem... but no sound in firefox, opera, konqueror... or kaffeine and other media players [23:37] GizmoMan, what is that menuconfig ? [23:37] helper: no [23:37] system4041: if you installed it, it should have added itself to a menu [23:37] hey, does anyone know what happens to cron jobs if the computer is turned off at the time they're supposed to run? [23:37] helper: because you want x on directories [23:37] bitbake -c menuconfig linux-omap3-2.6.29 [23:37] helper: could you pastebin ls -l /home/kad? [23:37] system4041: you can also open programs that you know the name of via the command line by just typing in there name and hitting enter [23:37] Peeeeeet, ok so this entries tells ubuntu to use all interfaces as a bridge? "bridge_ports all" [23:37] cecilia, only one sound card? [23:37] yes [23:37] zoidfarb, they do not run, if you want them to run later, use anacron instead [23:37] zoidfarb: it differs by cron daemon, i believe [23:38] So the Gnome Config manager doesn't work ? [23:38] any idea on how to fix it? [23:38] zoidfarb, man anacron [23:38] and sometimes, when i start the computer and check the system settings, the card does not appear there [23:38] dotblank: according to the manpages when i originally set this up in 8.04, that was the idea, it bridges all the physical nics [23:38] gtkdiskfree does not show in search [23:38] raylu, http://pastebin.com/m1bea955f [23:38] system4041: what came up when you searched for? [23:38] joaopinto, cool, thanks. Is there a way to schedule them to run on shutdown, instead of startup? [23:38] and the alsa, and pulseaudio devices are said not to work [23:38] nothing [23:38] how come I can't install the Ubuntu Dell iso i burned to a disc? [23:38] !synaptic | system4041 [23:38] system4041: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [23:39] How do I specify a source package with apt-get ? [23:39] zoidfarb, for start/stop, you dont use cron, you use a start/stop script on the system init process [23:39] when i try system , preferences , sound, the only test that works is the sound card [23:39] im using it now typed gtkdiskfree in the searchbar but got nuffin [23:39] pulseaudio doesn't [23:39] dotblank: basically turning them all into a little virtual 3 port switch with the 4th port being the server's connection to this little 3 port switch, and having an ip of 172.16.1.10 [23:39] did anybody have trouble installing libcv-dev? [23:39] Peeeeeet, i think this should worjk [23:39] Peeeeeet, http://paste.ubuntu.com/175245/ [23:39] anyone? [23:39] joaopinto, cool, but what if I want something to run once a week, but only after a user hits shutdown, so it doesn't interfere with normal machine usage? [23:39] system4041: ok close synaptic [23:40] done [23:40] I need sources for one of the linux-restricted-modules packages [23:40] system4041: get this one via terminal :) sudo apt-get install gtkdiskfree [23:40] helper: looks fine. could you show me /etc/gdm.conf? [23:40] dotblank: you think the extra info is interfering with the bridge config? I'd buy that. lemme try to change that and see what happens [23:40] system4041: you can't have syanptic open when doing apt-get or aptitude commands, because synaptic is just a GUI for commands [23:40] ok its on the way [23:40] when installing ubuntu from a flash drive via unetbootin do i have to format before hand ? [23:41] Peeeeeet, i think it is adding a routes almost randomly because of conflicting gateway entries [23:41] can someone help me work out why would nautilus give such a warning - http://paste.ubuntu.com/175231/ ? [23:41] system4041: it would give an error message if synaptic had still been open [23:41] raylu, cat: /etc/gdm.conf: No such file or directory [23:41] ok i fink thats it installed [23:41] CJJ: technically, no. but i get the feeling you're confusing formatting and partitioning [23:41] where is it [23:41] hello is there someone who can help me fix install 8.10 I installed it but I can't find it on the machine? [23:41] what is the best diary tool on Ubuntu (preferred a cool GUI)? [23:41] i dunno wtf im doing to be honest [23:41] system4041: some where in the menu probably, but menus hummm [23:41] zoidfarb, you would need to hack the shutdown script, I guess, no script is expected to block a shutdown sequence [23:41] helper: sorry. /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [23:41] system4041: as I said before you can open apps via the command line to :) [23:41] Peeeeeet, if it errors try putting the auto ethX entries before the br0 entry [23:41] system4041: gtkdiskfree and hit enter [23:42] ive got windows installed im using unetbootin to put it on my flashdrive then i dunno where to go [23:42] how come I can't install the Ubuntu Dell iso i burned to a disc? all it shows is some words and someone's first and last name [23:42] jaopinto, ok, thanks [23:42] CJJ: how is your disk set up right now? do you have any linux partitions set up? if no, then you'll have to set up a partition and then format it [23:42] Peeeeeet, and if that errors assign it a static ip of 0.0.0.0 for each ethX [23:42] CJJ: if you click install, the installer will walk you through the formatting process [23:42] The old one is still there 8.10? [23:42] raylu, http://pastebin.com/m6d552923 [23:42] ok i have 1.78 gig free [23:42] hi, I have a vaio laptop, pcg-k33 [23:42] well i want windows gone too [23:42] system4041: ok that's space for quite a lot of apps [23:42] and for some reason the thing gets really hot and gets very slow [23:42] zaccour, are you sure it's a regular ubuntu cd ? [23:43] system4041: now let's make sure main multiverse and such repos are enabled [23:43] joaopinto, its the one from the dell mod [23:43] what is the best diary tool on Ubuntu (preferred a cool GUI)? :) [23:43] system4041: the Ubuntu download servers, make sure they are checked in system > administaration > software sources [23:43] helper: the error is when you login through gdm, right? i'd consider modifying the values under [security] [23:43] zaccour, so you need to ask dell, we don't know nothing about that here [23:43] jaopinto, well, not block it. I just would like it to install updates before it shuts down. It's a slow machine and installing updates while running might irritate users. [23:43] CJJ: oh. in that case, the installer has an option for "use entire disk" [23:43] Anyone? I have a problem with sound here... only amarok works, and sometimes VLC after two tries, and totem... but no sound in firefox, opera, konqueror... or kaffeine and other media players [23:43] dotblank: You sir are a genius, all is working fine and apt-get can see the internet again [23:43] system4041: the source code thing, just ignore that one [23:43] cecilia, try this gksudo gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa and ad this to bottom load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0 then restart if it does not work let me know [23:43] I tried running kpowersupply [23:43] dotblank: I owe you a beer [23:43] or kpowersaver [23:43] ok chuck [23:44] everything except source code selected [23:44] helper: though i suspect that the real problem is still with your uids [23:44] dotblank: odd that it worked in 8.04 but not 8.10 [23:44] Peeeeeet, :).. glad I could help so that CCNA did help..... [23:44] system4041: ok good [23:44] !prefix | CJJ [23:44] CJJ: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:44] Peeeeeet, probally how the interface file is read and the order of routes [23:44] from server for uk [23:44] raylu, my id is 1000 how is this problem i do echo $UID give me 1000 ! [23:44] system4041: see my slightly off topic pm [23:45] helper: ls -ld /home/kad [23:45] raylu, drwxrwxr-- 80 kad kad 4096 2009-05-19 01:44 /home/kad [23:45] do someone know a good uploader program for rapidshare? [23:45] dotblank: well i could have sworn the 8.04 bridging manpages said that if you set up a bridge at the beginning of the interfaces file with bridgeports_all or whatever, that the rest of the definitions for physical interfaces would be ignored [23:45] system4041: ok at that age I expect you got an inner child inside you, and so I highly recommend you do this sudo apt-get install tuxpaint and try it with your sound on :) [23:45] I mean, an uploader manager for rapidshare [23:45] zoidfarb, check /etc/rc1.d/K* [23:46] joaopinto, thanks for the tips [23:46] ok doin it now lol [23:46] chuck, i've just copied load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0 to the end of the file... is it correct? [23:46] tuxpaint b 4 minutes [23:46] does Ubuntu support sony Vaiao Laptop pcg-k33 ? [23:46] dotblank: but the way you have me setting it up makes much more sense so I'll ignore the manpages :) [23:47] helper: ok. go for the changes in gdm.conf then, i guess [23:47] cecilia, yes at the bottom [23:47] ok, i'll restart it then [23:47] I have it running, but not sure if it knows how to operate the computer's cpu fan or not, [23:47] it gets slower and slower and then overheats and automatically shuts off [23:47] does anyone know why ubuntu wont boot if i have my wireless adapter in the USB drive? [23:47] raylu, r u sure what u r doing ? [23:47] system4041: :d tell me what you think when you tried it [23:47] i will do [23:48] the current ubuntu release is 9.04, right? [23:48] stealth- correct [23:48] helper: obviously not :P [23:48] stealth-: the current supported Ubuntu releases are, 8.04, 8.10, and 9.04 [23:48] Peeeeeet: thanks [23:48] can someone help me with my Vbox? im running wondows vista x64 in Vbox and i get this? : http://www.lookpic.com/files/Screenshot82.png [23:48] sebsebseb: thanks [23:48] hey guys i need help making a usb boot disk on windows 7 [23:48] helper: but i'm not the one who messed with my passwd, eithe [23:48] helper: *either. [23:48] gselsidi: go to #windows [23:49] ok thanks [23:49] Peeeeeet, the only thing i could see that could be a problem (being picky) is no nameserver entry and if you were to run dhclient you would loose your dns server [23:49] gselsidi: unetbootin [23:49] gselsidi: or do you mean ubuntu boot disk? [23:49] stealth-: easy way to tell is that the "release number" is the year and month when it was released eg 9.04 = April 2009 [23:49] i want to make a ubuntu live usb [23:49] i tried everything on the tutorials [23:49] Peeeeeet: I know, but I wasnt sure when the last version came out [23:49] raylu, it was ok u told me chown -R 1000:1000 /home/kad i did then when i reboot this problem was getting [23:49] but it isnt working [23:49] dotblank: i thought you only put nameservers in resolv.conf? [23:49] unko: what about it? [23:49] sebsebseb, i don't know whats wrong with it [23:50] stealth-: also, they always release in april and october of every year [23:50] helper: which is why i think the problem is still somehow related to your uid. but modifying the [security] settings will at least get you in - most likely [23:50] ubuntu boot disk i mean [23:50] unko: safe mode or transparant? [23:50] Peeeeeet: thats good to know! thanks :) [23:50] Peeeeeet, yes but some programs overwrite it :(.. it would be better to put it in the interfaces file so that it makse SURE it is correct.. (the networking service will overwritte the file) [23:50] stealth-: so if it's after april or october, there's probably a new release [23:50] Join #windows [23:50] raylu, tell me how to fix this [23:50] how do i go to windows? [23:50] sebsebseb, transparent. its driving me nuts [23:50] dotblank: I can do that? I didn't know you could put the nameserver in interfaces [23:51] helper: look at and modify the entries under [security] in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [23:51] unko: ok I don't know, I suggest asking in #vbox [23:51] can someone help me with the ubuntu live usb? [23:51] gselsidi: /join #windows <-- don't forget the / [23:51] sebsebseb, ok [23:51] dotblank: is it just "nameserver: 172.16.0.1"? [23:51] hi all, how can I tell what the device and partition names are for grub? [23:51] how can i do it so that when i press page up it sends 10 up arrow keys, through screen or some key binding or what? i want to scroll through a list in rtorrent that doesnt use page up/page down functionality, only arrow keys 1 by 1 [23:51] thanks vcoolio [23:51] gselsidi: again, unetbootin [23:52] yea i tried that raylu [23:52] my system update aint working can i get-apt juanty? [23:52] its not working its giving me errors when i try to boot up from usb [23:52] Peeeeeet, that or dns-nameservers [23:52] dotblank: er "nameserver 172.16.0.1" [23:52] it says bootdrive or something not found press ctrl+alt+del to restart [23:52] raylu, can't u fix it ? [23:52] system4041: used it now? [23:53] im on windows 7 could that be the problem? [23:53] hahaha tux paint is fun [23:53] system4041: indeed :) [23:53] duck!!! [23:53] lol [23:53] helper: you can "fix" it by changing those [security] settings to be more relaxed [23:53] it quiet funny lol [23:53] well i use dns-masq on my router so everything just has the one nameserver [23:53] Peeeeeet, besides if any of those dont work you could do "up echo "172.16.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf" [23:54] raylu, change them for me i don't know in them why i am asking for help then [23:54] helper: there are pretty helpful comments in the file...
