[00:00] Megadrive, problems with ATI graphic card that's why. [00:00] could anyone please tell me why my cursor is s l o w and hurkey-jerkey on full screen games? [00:00] Ah, [00:00] Nvidia card here :\ [00:00] th0r, this what I get : http://pastebin.com/m252b92cd [00:00] yeh [00:00] sebsebseb: alright, thx a lot, im on my way then. [00:00] ATI isn't supported yet on 9.04 ;o [00:00] Yanick_: give me a sec to take a look [00:00] So I'll stay with LTS Releases [00:00] I want to run a cronjob at 2am every day, and shutdown unless it's stopped by myself, can anyone suggest how to do this? [00:00] th0r, thanks [00:00] sweetde: no problem [00:00] seriosly... why are two linux servers that were running hardy full? [00:01] snell: seriously, you need to upgrade from Gutsy [00:01] sweetde: and Virtualbox is better than the free as in price VMware versiosn [00:01] versions [00:01] true, virtualbox is a great enterprise-grade vm from what I can tell [00:01] how do i downgrade back to hardy? [00:01] Gourlis: which ATi card do you have? [00:01] !downgrade | ubutgtu [00:01] ubutgtu: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [00:02] Yanick_: ok....looks like the drive is mounting ok as sdb. type control-c in the terminal to stop the tail command. Then type 'mount' and see if sdb is already mounted [00:02] funkyhat, im only using it because i have ardour setup to work on it and it has all my song files. ive already got hardy on another drive [00:02] ubugtu: from which version? 8.10 or 9.04? [00:02] hello. i am running vbox 2.2.2 on Ubuntu 9.04. i am trying to install Ubunutu 9.04 server as a guest, but it just stalls at "Installing at 74% - Configuring man-db" screen [00:02] as anyone had this problem [00:02] ubugtu: and why? [00:02] neoTheCat: you can ask in #vbox [00:02] th0r, no [00:02] does anyone know of a good package to create an image (like an iso, but a tarball or other file type will work) from an ubuntu system using as little space as possible for the resulting file? [00:02] funkyHat, ATI Radeon RS490M X1200 [00:03] on 8.04 now am perfect [00:03] i did. i just did not know if this was an ubuntu issue someone has seen. [00:03] sebsebseb: 9.04. because it doesnt support bluetooth headsets and because it doesnt allow me to press F2 and get a run dialog box. [00:03] proq: 7zip? [00:03] Yanick_: this is an ntfs drive? [00:03] snell: if you upgrade ardour should still work fine, and Ubuntu 7.10 is not getting any security updates anymore [00:03] DGMurdockIII, http://paste.ubuntu.com/176011/ here is my entry from /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:03] ubugtu: why not install 8.10 instead then? it has just under a year of support, and 9.10 is out in October with 10.4 in April the next LTS [00:03] th0r, yes [00:04] ubugtu: 8.04 being the current LTS [00:04] gah I swear that linux is the only stable 64 bit os, which is great for linux, but I can't get anything else to run stable at all.... [00:04] Gourlis: I have an X1650 and it works fine in Jaunty. I'd suggest trying out the live CD to see if your card works fine. But then if you're happy with 8.04 then that's fine, :) [00:04] Hello, I am having issues with e1000e module. I used rmmodule e1000e, and then modprobe e1000. Then I do /etc/init.d/networking restart , and it says it restarted everything. yet I don't have a connect. So I did "ifconfig eth0 up" , yet it claims there is no eth0. [00:04] Yanick_: ok. Do you have a mount point already set up for the drive? maybe /media/sdb1 or some such? [00:04] Does closing windows while in compiz's "scale mode" crash compiz? can someone confirm this? [00:04] Is it possible for me to make it use the e1000 on restart, and how do I get it to work properly for my NIC ? [00:04] th0r, no, it used to mount automatically [00:04] snell: funny, I was trying to get ardour working earlier today actually [00:04] th0r, into /media/MEDIA [00:04] ubugtu: makes a lot of sense to do 8.10 in your case, and then go 9.10 or 10.04 or well both. remember you would have to upgrade through 9.04 first [00:04] Yanick_: are you using gnome [00:04] th0r, yes [00:04] funkyHat, I had 9.04, I don't have any objection with 9.04 but I messed up things with graphics drivers etc.. so I did a fresh install today back to LTS. [00:05] Name141: can you pastebin the output of dmesg after loading of the module? [00:05] :) [00:05] Does closing _gedit_* windows while in compiz's "scale mode" crash compiz? can someone confirm this? *** [00:05] can someone help me with Songbird? it won't load up when i try to open it... [00:05] !paste | Name141 [00:05] Gourlis: to the LTS hummm [00:05] Name141: 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) [00:05] Gourlis: see above what I said regarding 8.10 and that [00:05] Ampelbein: absolutly not. As I can not run the OS if there is no NIC lol [00:05] funkyhat my ardour files front my gutsy installation dont play on hardy for some reason. are you saying i should just give up on it tho? [00:05] DGMurdockIII, you need to change the identifier to yoour card [00:05] Yanick_: in the terminal type 'ps ax | grep gvfs' [00:05] ok [00:05] Gourlis: 8.04 seems to old now, I would run at least 8.10 [00:05] Yanick_: you should see a line that ends with /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd [00:06] funkyhat it seems like i just need to reset my monitor settings, or have it redetect what monitor my laptop is using [00:06] Name141: well, without the output of dmesg this is kinda hard to debug ;-) === mike is now known as MGrunde [00:06] Gourlis: 9.04 isn't that good really, and 8.10 was good, so yeah at least 8.10 [00:06] th0r, yes [00:06] Ampelbein: however, the e1000e module makes my NIC twinkle at the router, and never gets a connect from the modem directly either. But I rmmod e1000e, and modprob e1000 , and it stops twinkling like a moron, yet it doesn't bring up a connection. [00:06] Hola [00:06] hi [00:06] snell: we've already reset your monitor settings. Something else you could try perhaps is uninstalling fglrx (don't know if you had that installed or not) [00:06] sebsebseb, nevermind dude - I do my job right? yeeahh :P I'm LTS lover hahaha ;) [00:06] Yanick_: have you tried to mount it manually? [00:07] what's the diff between the desktop and server versions? anywhere a list? [00:07] th0r, yes [00:07] Ampelbein: this didn't happen in hardy, it started in Intrepid and now same in Jaunty [00:07] Gigantic: different kernel, no desktop installed by default [00:07] Where are the X config files are now that xorg.conf is not really used? I want to see what video driver I'm using and possibly change it. [00:07] th0r, but I'm not sure if I got the syntax alright, I don't do that everyday [00:07] Gourlis: LTS is for newbies, servers, or business's that are slow when it comes to upgrading stuff [00:07] funkyHat: stable versio I guess... that's it? [00:07] sebsebseb, I'm a newbie too. :D [00:07] th0r, I did "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/MEDIA" but it says it cannot access /dev/sdb1 or something [00:07] sebsebseb: LTS is for people that want a working OS as of now. [00:08] for me [00:08] ubugtu: Do your machine support bluetooth? [00:08] Yanick_: ok. First, you need an empty dir to mount to. in the terminal type 'sudo mkdir /media/test' [00:08] Gourlis: ,but I meant the really computer ignorant newbies maybe, or newbies with really old hardware [00:08] Name141: 8.10 is a working OS :) [00:08] and what's the help bot in here? [00:08] sebsebseb: about like Win95 [00:08] th0r, [00:08] k [00:08] Name141: nonsense [00:08] !ubottu | Gigantic [00:08] Gigantic: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [00:09] Gigantic: yes, the rest of the system is the same. There's no need for a desktop environment on a server so it's not installed, and the kernel is optimised more for typical server usage than desktop usage. You can actually install the server kernel on a desktop install if you want to (or vice versa) [00:09] Name141: can you see anything unsual in the dmesg output after loading the module? [00:09] Name141: first of all Ubuntu and Windows 95 are two completly differnet OS's [00:09] sebsebseb: danke [00:09] sebsebseb, dunno mate.. I don't wanna go far with next releases because I don't want to lose my graphic drivers again as it happened with 9.04 [00:09] Yanick_: then type 'mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/test' (you were close) [00:09] amarok iphone /mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesLock how do i removethis? [00:09] funkyhat what about sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg? [00:09] Ampelbein: I guess I should go try this again, and use dmesg shortly after? [00:09] Gourlis: did you do 8.10? [00:09] Gourlis: I would suggest upgrading your 8.04 to 8.10 and running that untill 9.10 or 10.04 [00:10] funkyHat: all rite ty... I know what you talking about, just new to the distro [00:10] snell: can't hurt [00:10] Gourlis: unless you want KDE3 from the repo in Ubuntu :) [00:10] sebsebseb: not if they both don't work for your hardware [00:10] th0r, I needed to add sudo before, and the result is.... ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdb1': No such file or directory === matiu is now known as Guest47930 [00:10] I just wanted to say that this is the greatest distro off all time guys, and I want to express my profound and deep gratitute to all of you, who are the makers of gentoo linux. Thank You :) [00:11] sebsebseb, :D I won't do anything tonight *tomorrow* :P tonight am tired of reading psychology stupid exam for tomorrow [00:11] Name141: your obviosuly a newbie, and don't reolize that not all hardware will just work, because of hardware manufactures that do not release specifications, and make the hardware only for Windows [00:11] Name141: right, just type dmesg after modprobe the module. you could compare the output before modprobing and after to only see what is new and write this info on a sheet of paper, then typing it to pastebin ;-) [00:11] Ampelbein: OK. [00:11] 1 more Q... I guess there is no diff between Ubu/Kubuntu but for the desktop installed by default righ... [00:11] Gourlis: 10.04 is the next LTS [00:11] Yanick_: the lines you put in pastebin. They did show up after you plugged in the drive, right? [00:11] yes. I didn't remove the plug since [00:12] no diff installer or versions of other stuff [00:12] daniel@daniel-u9:~$ sudo chmod 777 /mnt/ipod [00:12] access denied?????? [00:12] Gigantic: correct. [00:12] Gigantic, thats right [00:12] aye [00:12] Ampelbein: Speaking of this, would finding a way to put Ubuntu on a flash drive be faster than the live CD/DVD disks ? [00:12] ty see ya [00:12] Gourlis: about the only true advantage 8.04 on the desktop has over 8.10 on the desktop, these days, is that KDE3 is in the repo :) [00:12] sebsebseb, as I see 8.04 LTS. Versions which comes out after it are in beta actually until next LTS comes out. [00:12] Anyone know the best program to backup my system as an image? [00:12] Gourlis: no [00:12] Gourlis: not at all [00:12] Name141: defnitely is faster ( when using usb2.0) [00:13] i mean, how did you guys develop this elite flavour of linux? [00:13] Ampelbein: OK. And I assume I can install, rather than just have it run LIVE? [00:13] and why the name gentoo ? [00:13] Gourlis: and before a 180 months supported distro even comes out as a stable, it has gone through many development versions. let's take 9.04 for example. 6 alpha's, 1 or 2 betas, a release candidate or 2, and then the final [00:13] !backup | buakeka [00:13] buakeka: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [00:13] Gourlis: 18 months above [00:13] hmm, did you guys change the name ? [00:13] hmmm [00:13] Gourlis: or how about 9.10 [00:13] Name141: you can use a persistent flash disk [00:13] !9.10 | Gourlis [00:13] Gourlis: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:13] sm0k3d: "the name"? of what? [00:13] th0r, if I list all files in /dev, I can't see sdb* ? [00:14] Gourlis: oh the bot does not have a schedulded link [00:14] !usb | Name141 [00:14] Name141: 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 [00:14] jrib, see my previous posts [00:14] persistent ? [00:14] Gourlis: release schedulded [00:14] Argh! [00:14] sm0k3d: i read one line at a time... [00:14] Windows and network services >.< [00:14] Gourlis: by the way if Microsoft did software like opensource/freesoftware Windows 7 beta would really be the alpha, and the Windows 7 release candidate would really be the beta [00:14] sebsebseb, thank you for your time and all the info mate. I really appreciate that. :-) [00:15] funkyHat: I tried sharing network connections using this old USB-WLAN dongle I found [00:15] who cares about microsoft;p [00:15] I dont [00:15] hi - I'm mounting an nfs share on jaunty and the permissions are broken. anyone have a clue what's going on? [00:15] And XP gives me this crap about "Adress Conflicts" and whatnot [00:15] Gourlis: take Firefox for example, quite a few alphas, and then the betas, and rc's and then final yeah, well you get the idea now I think [00:15] yeah [00:15] Gourlis: commerical software they rush out new versions, opensource/freesoftware goes through loads of testing before a final [00:15] Ampelbein: Alright, I'll check it out once I get the flash drive. [00:15] Yanick_: I just plugged mine in to check, and it looks like it should be there. Did you actually see those lines appear in /var/log/messages AFTER you plugged in the drive or were they there when you first looked? [00:16] th0r, is it normal if I don't have any /dev/sdb1 file? [00:16] th0r, yes [00:16] Yanick_: no, you should have both /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 [00:16] th0r, well, they're not there [00:16] funkyhat, you still around? [00:16] sebsebseb, I like listening more but tomorrow night I will be available heheh for more class. === betrayd is now known as she_dyed [00:16] giles: ish [00:16] Ampelbein: There isn't windows versions of the instructions ? [00:16] !freedom | Gourlis [00:16] Gourlis: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [00:16] Yanick_: (thinking) [00:16] can someone please help me? I'm trying to install ninan, but I seem to be missing the file ninancore.sh from the zip file, any suggestions? [00:17] hello guys, anybody knows where is the executable file for rhythmbox music player in intrepid ibex? [00:17] th0r, :) [00:17] HELP!?!?!? I can sudo apt-get install and it downloads packages, but df reports 0 disk space!?!?! and dpkg refuses to configure mysql saying that there is no disk space... but apt-get downloads?!?!? [00:17] burner: does 7zip get the best compression for an ubuntu filesystem? [00:17] moz44: uh no and why want to know where it's installed? [00:17] Name141: just boot from live-cd and run the commands as described. [00:17] burner: there's a bunch of space reserved for root === Third3ye2 is now known as third3ye [00:17] Yanick_: I hate to resort to this, but have you tried a cold boot (shutdown and then start up from scratch)? [00:17] Third3ye2: not really sure what else to suggest :(. it might be possible to host a mirror on the XP machine to install from, that might be too much hassle to be worth it though [00:17] mzz: how do I fix that? [00:17] Ampelbein: so that it can download my podcasts [00:17] burner: this is not a bug. Recommend you free up some space. [00:17] funkyhat, i can boot into jaunty now from the super grub disk so in jaunty i removed grub-gfxboot, installed grub from the repos, ran root hd(0,4) setup (hd0) and it all worked great, but i still get a grub error stage 1.5 when i boot [00:17] Ampelbein: I wont be able to download the usb-creator without the network [00:17] mzz: sudo df doesn't report any free space [00:18] this has to be a bug!!! [00:18] burner: correct [00:18] third3ye: and I don't know how you'd set that up, probably quite possible though [00:18] I did "rm -rf /bunchofstuffover1gb" and df still shows 0 [00:18] can someone please help me? I'm trying to install ninan, but I seem to be missing the file ninancore.sh from the zip file... [00:18] burner: compare "Size" to "Used" [00:18] th0r, well, I could try, but this is a fresh restart. I just booted my computer (I never use hibernate or something) to play a movie, but I got that wall. I can try though [00:18] giles: which partition is hd(0,4)? [00:18] Yanick_: let me check a couple of things...give me a minute [00:18] my ubuntu partition, the proper one [00:18] th0r, k [00:18] giles: do you have a /boot partition? [00:19] I think grub's root should point at /boot [00:19] hello everyoNe! [00:19] funkyhat, no [00:19] why do i keep getting information in my xterm saying "I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges."

[00:56] Roasted: or three even or pm even for the off topic stuff [00:56] ampelbein, an app that allows you to download binaries [00:56] seb - no thx [00:56] nunyabiz: there's no package by that name in ubuntu [00:56] lstarnes: no this is a programme accessing the hard drive and it momenatarily freezes my system wjhen it does [00:56] Seeker`: about time [00:56] Seeker`, ty [00:56] but the one it pick up, dosent work good, it shows all of the signals with 16% strenth, and I can get connected to a network put it wont open nothing [00:56] !attitude | Roasted [00:56] Roasted: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:57] ampelbein, deany told me about it [00:57] Gnea - I got it. But hey, thanks! [00:57] Ampelbein, http://pastebin.com/d760563e6 [00:57] UntouchableMX - Are you using network manager? [00:57] Hi [00:57] hi [00:58] I dont think so, wich do you recommend [00:58] Help! Ubuntu/Gnome keeps freezing at sudden times lately, and all I can do is a cold reboot! [00:58] UntouchableMX - My old laptop had the RTL8187B and if I recall I just used the default network manager and it worked... but granted that was 8187B, not 8187... I have no clue waht the difference would be. [00:58] test: old computer? [00:59] well I use the default, the one on the system tray but like I tell you, it shows al the signals at 16% [00:59] and I haved use wifislax and it recognized it good [00:59] UntouchableMX - How close are you to the access point? Have you tried the same location but in Windows? [00:59] ok my hardware drivers isnt detecting my video card....any suggestions? [00:59] sebsebseb: no, pretty new. Intel Q8200 etc, and I have updated all programs. [00:59] I have a SIS card [01:00] test: Intel hummm that could be the issue, there are Intel graphics issues mentioned in the release notes, maybe that effects you [01:00] !notes [01:00] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release notes can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope/ReleaseNotes [01:00] well Im connected right now on windows using the card and its like 60% [01:01] UntouchableMX - It could be that the driver for the RTL8187 that's coupled with Linux is just of poor quality that results in less of a signal range. === Mau_Restor is now known as mau_restor [01:01] i need to install apache2, php modules, and mysql server....there used to be all the command line install stuff on ubuntuguide, but now it's no there anymore. I have ubuntu server installed (version 8.10) and i'm accessing it via putty [01:01] MGrunde: your monitor seems to does not support edid, you have to set hsync and vsync in /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually. what kind of monitor is this? [01:01] ok noone know how to get my card to work?......so to get it to work i HAVE to revert back to windows ? :-( [01:01] but it does the same thing to all of the networks it detects [01:01] !lamp | rogue780 [01:01] rogue780: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [01:01] does ubuntu only install from the live boot cd or is there another version with fresh install? [01:01] nightdrever: I suggest trying Ubuntu forums [01:01] The LiveCD can install and run it without installing too. [01:01] nightdrever: sign up and do a thread about your card there [01:02] ive looked cant find away [01:02] sebsebseb: will check it out. But "graphic issues" ? It's more like that the whole desktop environment freezes, sometimes all but the mouse, and sometimes the windows looks like buggy old MS Windows-windows attacked by viruses. === LFC|Doppp is now known as Doppp [01:02] nightdrever: your on 9.04 now? 8.10 was ok? [01:02] Roasted: yeah but the live cd is the only way of installing it right by installing the live cd to the hard disk, and not a fresh install [01:02] i dont want to have to go back to crappy windows....i like ubuntu better [01:02] nightdrever: try 8.04 even, since differnet xorgs [01:02] yes im on 9.04 [01:02] does it make a difference because its a usb card [01:03] Ampelbein, It's an LG L1770HQ. I tried using xrandr and adding a modeline, but when I try to change to it, it gives me an error. [01:03] test: sounds like a possible failing hardware issue [01:03] tr-ip: "with fresh install"? What do you mean? how would installation from the liveCD not be a fresh install? [01:03] i dont think it worked on 8.04 either [01:03] MGrunde: you don't happen to specify what error? [01:03] tr-ip - I think you might be confused. When you boot to the LiveCD, you can actually use Linux and test it out. If you click install icon on the desktop, it installs Linux on your computer.. on your actual hard drive. That's how I awlays install LInux. [01:03] Ampelbein, Also, just checked out the log from when I started in low graphics mode and the difference is that it's using Vesa, and for some reason the modes are discovered [01:04] Flannel: meaning it onoly installs the clone of the live cd to the hard disc? [01:04] Ampelbein, One second, I'll find out === saulus_ is now known as SauLus [01:04] tr-ip: That's correct. But that clone is a 'fresh install' as good as any other. [01:04] well looks like im going to try a nother distribution of linux [01:04] sebsebseb, thanks [01:04] tr-ip: There's also the alternate CD, which installs everything via packages, but you'll end up with the same result. === k is now known as Guest85234 [01:05] Ampelbein, Although, since edid doesn't seem to work, will gtf be able to properly generate a modeline? [01:05] rogue780: no problem [01:05] sebsebseb: hope not. It has just started recently, and all seems fine in Windows. [01:05] Flannel: Whats the root password for the live cd? [01:05] later guys, and thanks for your help === customer is now known as linuxman410 [01:05] MGrunde: vesa uses more safe defaults that's why it works "better". [01:05] tr-ip: there is no root password. Ubuntu doesn't use the root account, it's locked. [01:06] Flannel: so how u suppose to install stuff? [01:06] Hello. Running Jaunty with gnome on a dell studio xps16 with full hd 1920x1080....anyone has some good tips / links for font optimizing, especially in firefox ? [01:06] !sudo | tr-ip [01:06] tr-ip: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [01:06] tr-ip: Ubuntu uses sudo. [01:06] I know this is an issue for many people and I read and try a lot but for firefox I cannot come to a decent solution [01:07] MGrunde: gtf should work anyway [01:07] system fonts are fine actually, but with full hd res, I cannot find any optimal font setting in firefox... [01:07] tyl3r: I am on an XPS m1130 and going to system->preferences->appearance and then going to the fonts section, choosing details and editing the DPI helps me [01:08] tyl3r: You install msttcorefonts? [01:08] TheMoonMaster: thx, how many dpi you have ? In general I would be happy with firefox looking fine on all pages....but for example ubuntuforums look great with one font, with the same font last.fm is ugly and overlaps etc...so hard to find a perfect solution [01:08] I use 96 [01:08] TheMoonMaster: yes installed corefonts [01:09] Ampelbein, The error I get when I run "xrandr --output default --mode 1280x1024_60.00" (after adding that modeline using --newmode and --addmode) is "xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed" [01:09] TheMoonMaster: do you have option "allow websites to use own fonts" in firefox set? [01:09] I'd like to trim down the processes.... What do you suggest? I'm looking at Startup Applications and bum (Boot Up Manager). Most of the services does not have descriptions which render them useless to me. [01:09] MGrunde: you could also open a bug on launchpad for that issue, please use 'ubuntu-bug -p xorg' to automatically attach needed information [01:09] #megworld [01:09] so if I install kde using apt-get or install or whatever how would I make it load instead of gnome? [01:09] mobi-sheep: all the raid stuff can go unless you are using it. id just look in /etc/init.d and google for each script to see if you need it to run [01:10] Yes I do [01:10] tr-ip: You'd install kubuntu-desktop (that'll give you kde). And then at the login screen (gdm or kdm) you'd choose which you wanted under Sessions [01:10] is there any way to find out exact;ly which programme keeps bogging down my system by taxing my hard drives? [01:10] TheMoonMaster: ok. Could you please tell me your fonts used in Firefox / sizes ? Would be nice... [01:10] yowshi1: Open a terminal and type top [01:11] pepperjack: Is there a Ubuntu website that list all processes / startup / etc? Something that people would like to know. Kinda like sysreg for Windows. Lol. [01:11] TheMoonMaster: i've tried top before i dont know how to scroll in it or how to use it to find out whats using the hard drive [01:11] mobi-sheep: What do you mean? Like man pages? === Pikachu is now known as Guest15155 [01:12] I'm on my netbook right now, so the sizes would be different, but the fonts are proportional -> serif, serif -> serif, sans-serif -> sans-serif, monospace -> monospace [01:12] TheMoonMaster: ok thx [01:12] Ampelbein, Yeah, I probably will. Everything seemed to work in Hardy though. That's why I thought this would just be a quick fix. Guess not. [01:12] Flannel: Take a look in System --> Preferences --> Startup Applications. There are a list of services that have no description and I would like to know what their purposes is so I can trim down processes. [01:12] On here the sizes are all 9 [01:12] network-manager initiates a ppp connection to a mobile internet connection but it doesn't call /etc/ppp/ip-up is this known behavior? [01:13] But under default font it's serif size 16 [01:13] TheMoonMaster: same here, 16 [01:13] can anyone lead me to a tutorial on how to connect a ubuntu 9.04 machine to a windows xp printer? when i search for a printer on the network the printer box disappears [01:13] MGrunde: in jaunty, the xorg version has undergone huge changes compared to hardy === anil is now known as Guest3882 [01:13] Flannel: Not to mention that I installed and ran bum too. I wanted to trim down things that do not apply to me. [01:13] !info bum | Flannel [01:13] Flannel: bum (source: bum): graphical runlevel editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.1-2 (jaunty), package size 81 kB, installed size 516 kB [01:13] xp computer connected to a printer [01:13] Hmm, thats odd, last.fm looks fine for me and everything. [01:13] mobi-sheep: I'm aware of what bum is. I sggest reading the man pages for each process. [01:13] MGrunde: using the above command, a solution will quickly be found, I think. [01:14] Flannel: Yeah. Seems like it. Thanks. [01:14] TheMoonMaster: will try further with fonts or else maybe with a standard set zoom for all websites in firefox....as websites might still be optimized for lower res these days...will try your posted settings with 16 right now... [01:14] Alright [01:15] hi [01:16] i have a weird problem with sound, nothing with audio works, any idea why and how to fix it? [01:16] Ampelbein, Okay, bug filed. Thanks for your help [01:16] hi [01:16] juxbox: I found reference to a bug in 9.04 where the sound starts muted at bootup. Check the mixer and see if the volume is muted [01:17] ubuntu runs pretty nice in vmware [01:17] tyl3r: I looked up the problem and some say that editing your appearance->font->details and setting hinting to none fixes things [01:17] timewriter: sure, but I hope your only doing that to test the OS [01:17] yes [01:17] timewriter: you should partition your hard disk for real, for proper Ubuntu usage :) [01:17] th0r: no it's not muted [01:17] i just wanted to have a quick look [01:17] timewriter: also Virtualbox is better than the free versions of VMware === sean is now known as Guest95552 [01:17] timewriter: and can even use VMDK files [01:18] im using the paid version of vmware workstation [01:18] I'm trying to set a file's mode (a shell script actually) using chmod 771 -- then when i try to use the script, i get "permission denied" ...why?

[01:24] TheMoonMaster: hmm, I think zoom could help here, small fonts but zoom like ctrl + works and looks fine...maybe you know the setting in firefox responsible for a standard zoom on every webpage set in about:config ?

[01:33] CoJaBo-Aztec: Local(2) and Documents(3) were moved to Documents(1) [01:33] Gnae: was mounted automatically as /cdrom (not /media/cdrom) [01:33] usser: Local did not exist, and there is no Documents anymore. [01:33] raylu, its just mv scr dst, [01:34] CoJaBo-Aztec: Is there a Local now? [01:34] usser: but if you specify 3 arguments, all but the last are interpreted as src [01:34] foor:~$ mkdir foo bar [01:34] foor:~$ mv foo bar foo [01:34] mv: cannot move `foo' to a subdirectory of itself, `foo/foo' [01:34] Flannel: No Local, Documents, or Local Documents.

I never have this problem on CentOS === ddoom is now known as fujam [01:35] seansean: is the cd still in the drive?

I don't see any thing that has to do with caching there [01:36] when a process freezes, how can i force it to close..?

This began happening after months of trouble free use, I am on Hardy, running KDE, has anyone seen THIS problem? [02:21] NEO117: otherwise probably not, because the viruses can't run on Ubuntu [02:21] NEO117: ubuntu doesn't support autoruns so no [02:21] ok thanks [02:22] actually the partition is on the same HDD [02:22] ghoti: same deal [02:22] NEO117, doesn't matter, can't get infected [02:22] NEO117: you can have Windows viruses in your Ubuntu partition, whilst your Windows partition is also mounted, without the Windows partiton getting infected [02:23] thanks a lot [02:23] NEO117: no problem [02:23] he should probably remove the virusees off his USB device though, but yeah he is gone now [02:24] yep [02:24] clamav to the rescue [02:24] that could do it yeah [02:24] ,but I guess it applys even to USB devices [02:24] start over with a new partition, to make sure all viruses are gone [02:25] how do I disable password authentication through ssh for a single user?

[02:30] cemerick: I meant the latter [02:31] yes Bold`, that's normal and basically means the 64bit version [02:32] Ghoti_: OK, that makes more sense. Is locking the password better, and still achieves the same goal? Editing /etc/shadow doesn't seem like a good idea.

It might pay you to disable the onboard NIC and try with an external card. What did the old thread say to do? [02:42] losher: what gets me is that I had been using bittorrent w/out a problem for months [02:43] mrh: I know. I almost suspect your power supply. They are usually the first component to fail, and can lead to hangs etc. [02:43] losher: ehhhh, in that old thread, everyone concluded that it was a kernel issue, but no solution came up, and it looks like no one paid attention to the issue [02:44] losher: nah man, it ain't a hardware issue, I tested the power supply, thing's ok [02:44] is there a room for ubuntu 9.10 [02:44] Anyone know where i can find a place/how to get drivers for an old wireless card on a laptop? [02:44] I just installed a touch screen, and it works alright calibration. I can right click by pressing and holding, left click by pressing, but pressing and dragging just moves the mouse rather than moving mouse + button 1. Does anyone know where I should look for info on how to configure different taps and states? [02:44] i'm trying to get CCSM to work for desktop cube [02:44] computer_man, I just did this [02:44] mrh: Lots of clients allow you to cut back the number of network connections per torrent. You could try that I guess... [02:44] is it possible to stop running GNOME panels? [02:44] losher: this box is under 6 months olf [02:44] losher: I did [02:45] Computer_Man: check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1159786 [02:45] Does anyone know why Ubuntu adds a ";1" to every file on a mounted disc? [02:45] Is there any way to limit how much upload i do? [02:45] losher: see that't the thing, I had been using it no prob for months, I think it was probably a kernel update [02:45] linuxman410: #ubuntu+1 for chat about Koala [02:45] thanks [02:45] mrh, i've had power supplies be DOA, [02:45] losher: however, I have been thinking about switching to PCBSD, as time goes by, I want to switch more and more [02:46] panfist: yes, use gconf-editor to remove 'panel from /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list [02:46] Is Ghoti_ still here? [02:46] C-00000100: tested it [02:46] C-00000100: no probs [02:46] Okashi: Let me ask around :) [02:46] Ghoti_ I booted into failsafe and tried to update [02:47] System > Administration > Hardware Drivers don't show me drivers [02:47] yes' mrh ? with the psb or similar? [02:47] Okashi: any luck? [02:47] C-00000100: used a tester I have [02:47] but the updater says I'm out of space, I have 3 gigs empty [02:47] C-00000100: also backprobed it [02:47] C-00000100: I always do this with the nwe boxes I build [02:47] and it won't allow me to do above normal display mode in the display properties [02:48] Okashi: what does 'df -H' say? [02:48] after installine wine and the windows version of vlc ive removed both using synaptic yet they are still showing up on my applications list how can i remove them from the application list [02:48] mrh: switching to PCBSD I guess would prove the hardware is fine. FWIW, I run a heavily loaded rtorrent on 7.10 without problems [02:48] C-00000100: I like making sure bs does not come up after I build it, it has worked well so far, this method [02:48] now imgburn and roxio have not been able to make a iso into cd [02:48] any ideas? [02:49] losher: indeed [02:49] just using the machine for torrents mrh ? [02:49] losher: I have tested ALL the HW on this box [02:49] mrh my tester checks all 12 channels,, worth it to get the expensive one in my line of work, and i agree with losher [02:49] sam555: use brasero [02:49] Chr|s: ok [02:49] Chr|s: thanks [02:50] C-00000100: just backprobing with my $5 multimeter has yielded excellent results for years [02:50] how do i extract alot of 7z files at once from command line? [02:50] C-00000100: but I also use the other tester I mentioned [02:50] Ghoti_ it says this http://pastebin.com/d2eb851f [02:50] not at all a fan of pcbsd, but i love freenas - and any new os install and stress test will help narrow problems down [02:50] Chr|s: how do I verify if the issue is not the iso? [02:51] pettee: no [02:51] Is there any way to limit how much upload i do? [02:51] mrh: the bsds are very stable, in my experience. Otherwise, I'd try centos [02:51] losher: yeah, I am drawn to BSD because I have simply yet to read about any of the myriad little issues on them [02:51] does anyone else have suggestions on my driver issue so that 3d cube can work? [02:51] Ghoti_ the strange thing is I tried to delete things to clear even more space. but they won't delete === rachel is now known as Guest34417 [02:52] Okashi: you do not in fact have 3GB free on your main volume. Look at line 2. try 'sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*deb' [02:52] Does anyone know why Ubuntu adds a ";1" to every file on a mounted disc? [02:52] unlike ubuntu, pcbsd sacrifices a lot as it becomes user friendly including its filesystem layout. I do not suggest it. === jake_ is now known as mekaj [02:53] XD I had 3 gigs open before I updated.... [02:53] pettee: sure, although I have tested all the HW on this box [02:53] mrh: openbsd/freebsd/netbsd are all very stable, in my experience. [02:53] ubuntu ate my gigs...*sob* [02:53] No? :( [02:53] digitalchemist i went there but i could not remove it. i tried to unset the key but that didn't appear to do anything [02:54] losher: yeah that is why I am going to give PCBSD (which is just FreeBSD with a bunch of scripts on top) a spin [02:54] Pinder, give more info to the channel. What type of disk? What filesystem? [02:54] mrh: the worst thing about them is they don't do ext3 well [02:54] <``y7> is there something i have to do to get my eth's to refresh after i configure them through the ubuntu gui because they don't show any updates when i run ifconfig after configuring them....? [02:54] losher: that's ok [02:54] Ghoti_ tried that command, it says there is no such file [02:54] mrh: please come back and tell us if it solves your problem [02:54] ``y7, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:54] another question, do programs store their icons in a central place anywhere? [02:55] ``y7: you usually have to bring the interface down and then back up to get it to read the new config [02:55] Okashi: how about 'sudo apt-get clean' [02:55] Anyone know where i can find a place/how to get drivers for an old wireless card on a laptop? [02:55] <``y7> jdu, so they aren't supposed to reset until i type that cmd? [02:55] what command do i type in terminal to see my wireless card?

I still use it for some things. Contrary to local opinion, it's not a sin... [02:56] <``y7> jdu, i was adjusting them through system>preferences>network connections is there a better/different way i can do it with a gui?

[02:58] ``y7, I usually right click on the network manager applet that is on the toolbar; then on Edit Connections. The older way would be to edit /etc/network/interfaces. [02:58] losher: 7.10?

If I try to look at the hard drive in which Windows is isntalled from Ubuntu, I get a 'Cannot mount volume.' This usually happens whenever Windows shuts down incorrectly. Is there any way I can look at the hard drive? [03:04] nephish: How do I do this?

[03:05] nephish: OK, I will try that. [03:05] oh k [03:06] Is there a way to lower my upload?

[03:06] Stargazer: that depends on the application your using [03:07] I'm using TVTime as the program [03:07] I want to limit my upload overall. for any program. [03:07] jdu, what would I put instead of ? [03:07] amt2, an empty directory. you can do for example: sudo mkdir /mnt/point [03:07] Okashi: okay, I was barking up the wrong tree, nothing in /var is taking up all that space. now do the same with 'sudo du -csh /*' [03:07] amt2, and then use point for point [03:08] I have a video camera (it's a boroscope actually) that I can connect to my lappy via US, althought when I plug in USB it's not recognized, any idea if I can install a program from the repos to solve this pproblem? I need to be able to record the video. [03:08] ok i have a couple of dumb questions, how do i enable ssh in ubuntu client? how do i set terminal to always open at 80x43? how do i turn on filesharing? [03:09] amt2, /mnt/point can be replaced with any directory. It is just could form to put mount points in /mnt [03:09] Ghoti_ : I have > and it seems to want further input [03:09] !ssh | zer0rez [03:09] zer0rez: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [03:10] zer0rez: 1> sudo apt-get install openssh-server 2> open Terminal, look at Edit -> Profile Preferences 3> depends on the type of filesharing [03:10] zer0rez, I am not sure those are dumb. A client will already have support to login via ssh. To enable sshd, sudo apt-get install openssh-server. [03:10] Okashi: did you the the 's on the commandline? :) if so, hit ctrl-C and try it without the single-quotes [03:10] ops... [03:10] k [03:10] is there a program that can download flash video to my desktop from a site like youtube (but not youtube)? [03:11] Ghoti_: thank you, on 1 and 3. don't know see where in 2? [03:11] jdu, so if the error says 'Unable to mount the volume 'SQ004675V06'', then I would put SQ004675V06 instead of ? [03:11] jdu: yea i guess i meant sshd [03:11] it's late, not the most articulate [03:11] zer0rez, for samba, you can right click on a folder and enable filesharing. For nfs, google for a tutorial. [03:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom so i have BCM4306 Rev 03... how do i install the drivers?

MobileMe now uses "Deleted Messages" as its trash folder. I want deleted messages to go there. [03:12] zer0rez: I'll be dipped; I could have sworn it was in there [03:12] zer0rez, I suggest nfs; it works well, You can mount remote filesystems as if they were local. [03:12] Ghoti_: i've looked, i know how to set it each time quickly, but it would be nice to make it default ;) [03:12] amt2, no. that is the volume name. You may have picked the wrong device, or there may be another problem. [03:12] jdu: just the answer i was looking for will google for that [03:13] hey guys [03:13] I have 2 windows shares that are mounted from fstab. One I have full rights the other I can't write to it. The one I can't write has permissions of dr-xr-xr-x while the one I can write to has drwxrwxrwx. How can I enable write on the other permission?

[03:22] like is there a universal USB reset command? [03:22] when i mount the HFS+ drive it says "the folder contents could not be displayed, you do not have the permissions necessary..." [03:22] Hi! I am using an scp command to copy a large number of files in a directory. I just heard power will be cut in 2 hours! I need a way to stop and start off from the same spot. How can I do this? [03:22] Ghoti_ : w reply:username_here ttyp0 19 mai 13:50 (ip) [03:22] user01: remote servers get confused when you send them data from two different addresses at the same time, for example. [03:22] well actually the drive mounts fine but the folder can't be opened [03:22] owen1_: http://is.gd/wXON [03:22] wfiuewfew: rsync. drop scp. [03:22] jigp: so then write username ttyp0 [03:23] Atry, do you have an on-off switch on your card? [03:23] What is rsync [03:23] jdu, If I run 'sudo mount -t ntfs3g -o force /dev/sda2 /mnt/point', I get 'mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs3g'' [03:23] commaCamel: You mean a USB thumb drive, or what? (What type of USB device?) [03:23] wfiuewfew: the good news is you can stop the scp now, and use rsync to resume it. nothing has been lost. [03:23] wfiuewfew, is no way. scp has no -u option [03:23] Daps, basically you have to figure out if the cam supports UVC or needs custom driver, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [03:23] sizable: ah.... pretty sure not, but let me check [03:23] !rsync [03:23] rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [03:23] Ghoti_: thank [03:23] amt2, put a hyphon between s and 3 in ntfs-3g [03:23] jim_: how id this possible? [03:23] owen1_: my pleasure! [03:23] ...if i can find a screwdriver [03:23] mikechelen, thanks [03:23] wfiuewfew: why shouldn't it be? [03:24] Ghoti_ to logout ctrl+d? [03:24] jim_: Thanks for your advice. I just don't know how to use rsync or what it is. Is it installed in Ubuntu> [03:24] Atry, brb [03:24] Ghoti_ ok it works [03:24] sizable: k [03:24] <``y7> can somebody please tell me how to change my ip address in ubuntu? i can do it in redhat and in debian, and ubuntu refuses to change anything [03:24] Ghoti_ it won't let me, says there is no such folder [03:24] Ghoti_ thanks [03:24] jigp: when you are in 'write' mode, you will keep just shooting text at the user until you send an EOF (End of file),which is ^D [03:24] <[ucb]kevin> perhaps someone can help me with the following: windows are opening in such an initial position that the title bare is hidden behind my main ubuntu "apps place system etc.." bar -- how can I fix this? [03:25] wfiuewfew: probably, but if not you can certainly get it with apt. [03:25] Okashi: did you actually use /home/username/ or did you put your actual username in? :) [03:25] jdu, thanks, that worked! Do you have any suggestions for what I can do now to get windows workign again, without losing files? [03:25] jim__, are these all alternatives? git, mercurial, svn, darcs, . [03:25] badfishs: yea [03:25] Ghoti_ :p I used my username [03:25] y7, do edit ifconfig [03:25] <``y7> ty [03:25] i am using only 1.5 gib of space in my md3 but the used dev sid thta 459gib are used, can somebody help: see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/176081/ [03:25] lol [03:25] can anybody help me with file permissions? [03:25] Before i started messing with ndiswrapper, my network manager used to have "enable networking" and "enable wireless" options listed. Now it doesnt have "enable wireless." How do i get it to reappear? also iwconfig used to list a wlan0 and does not anymore (i'm guessing this is the same issue) [03:25] Ghoti_ which one is stable? 9.04 or 9.10?i installed 9.04 desktop but it keeps hanged..slugish...(fresh install) ram 1gb) [03:25] Okashi: and it says /home/user/Desktop does not exist? [03:25] <``y7> Severity1, that cmd doesn't work [03:25] jim_: do you know what command to use? [03:26] jigp: 9.10 isn't released yet. [03:26] wfiuewfew: rsync is simple. read the manpage, and adjust this command to fit your needs: rsynv -avzn -e 'ssh -pPORT' /local/path user@remote:/remote/path [03:26] jim__, which one would you suggest is the best? not to overload you with questions [03:26] it says '/home/cahepyp/desktop/blah' does not exist [03:26] amt2, no, not really, do realize that using -o force can create problems. I would backup the files (copy them to ubuntu's filesystem) then reinstall windows. [03:26] wfiuewfew: I have crippled the command just to be a jerk, so read the man page. [03:26] <``y7> can somebody please tell me how to change my ip address in ubuntu? i can do it in redhat and in debian, and ubuntu refuses to change anything [03:26] where can i get h264 plugin for totem ? [03:26] badfishs: git [03:26] Okashi: Desktop, not desktop :) [03:26] thank you mate [03:26] badfishs: but I am by no means an expert in this complicated field. I simply use git. [03:26] What is Ubuntu's default IRC client...? [03:27] badfishs: lots of people agree with me though, so :) [03:27] tuxwulf_: pidgin [03:27] Ghoti_ : so 9.04 is stable? [03:27] ``y7: look at /etc/network/interfaces :) [03:27] Ghoti_: how do i use shaperd? it's asking for a packet-forwarder? [03:27] tuxwulf_: pidgin [03:27] I'm having some problems with my wireless.. iwlist sees the access point i want to connect to, but iwconfig reports "unassociated"... how do i connect to the access point from the command line [03:27] tuxwulf_: default? [03:27] i'm a noob... how do you get a response from someone in this channel? [03:27] out of curiousity, has anyone figured out the cause of the random freezes of the amd64 version of jaunty? [03:27] <``y7> Ghoti_, i've seen it, it has 2 lines with nothing that i recognize on them [03:27] ``y7: you can do it from network manager applet or using the command ifconfig [03:27] Ghoti_ okay now is says 'cannot remove' something about it being a directory [03:27] commaCamel: Oh, that does IRC too, as I can use pidgin to bla in here? [03:27] Ghoti_, /etc/network/interfaces will not help with current versions of NetworkManager that ignore it.

That could hurt my life severely :p [03:28] anyone familiar with ldap authentication on Jaunty?

It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management.

What does that mean? [03:29] !geda [03:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about geda [03:29] areay: dhclient [03:29] user01: right. in limited cases you can work out additional bandwidth, but you have to do it in a very "manual labor" sort of way. bonding two connections at the OS/router level is preferable and that's the tricky part [03:29] letalis: ty [03:29] <``y7> * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1.

I am running Jaunty, have tried all the various fixes (I could find) but Flash still only semi-works for me. In Firefox it shows up as a BIG GREY ARROW that I have to click to play the flash app, and then the flash either doesnt work, or is horrily slow. Any suggestions? [03:30] jim_: Is it okay just to CTRL+C on scp and to use rsync with the same dest. when the system comes back up? [03:30] ``y7: if eth0 is your interface, you could try $ sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 up [03:30] wfiuewfew: yes [03:30] sizable, you back? [03:30] hello, I would like to know if there is any option to encrypt a fresh ubuntu installation using the wizard provided within the live cd? [03:30] jim__: Thanks!

[03:33] Dr_Willis, I haven't tried this before, so I am asking before messing up my computer. I usually install windows, swap, root and home using a primary partition for each of them. Now I want to have an extra partition for another linux distribution, but I am limited to 4 primary partitions. So can I install the linux distr. on an extended set of partitions? [03:33] Okashi: As you said, /home/foo/Desktop is a directory.. to remove 'file' from that location, use 'rm /home/foo/Desktop/file' [03:33] amt2, df -h [03:33] thiebaude: not at the moment. i killed npviewer.bin [03:33] ok [03:33] Okay, well, here we go to ubuntu upgrade...

[04:34] !fsck | Okashi [04:34] Okashi: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

I've done this successfully on ext3 filesystems. [04:36] okashi, see df -h [04:36] Okashi: Why won't they delete? What error msg to you get when you try? [04:36] better try dthackers advice [04:36] phillipsm: it's not even importing the most basic things [04:37] traverse: his df -h says sda1 is 100% unavailabkle [04:37] does anyone know how to get FISH to work with Xchat? it keeps unloading the script as soon as i click ok [04:37] raylu: That's the same thing... === administrator_ is now known as soulbleed [04:37] storbeck: no, -s is max-depth 0 [04:37] chris8: you can't convert audio to video.

[04:37] phillipsm: and i'm writing a simple console app [04:37] Okashi: You might consider adding a new HDD. [04:37] styrd_one: uhhh yeah you can... [04:38] stryd_one: sure you can, it just requires some mathematical gymnastics :) [04:38] user : if I use the gui they go to the trash and won't delete. and if I use command rm they just disapear and still use space [04:38] Styrd: oh i know whay you mean... :P [04:38] how many hardshutdowns before ubuntu runs hdd diagnostibs?

[04:39] hold on i think i have a solution [04:39] you can generate video from an audio stream, but not convert... I know it seems like a stupid thing to say, but if you google for it you might find that using the correct keywords helps.... [04:39] Okashi can you delete a file and go to trash [04:39] any one know how to fix.. with system halted ?? when it shut down then it said system halted [04:39] i have a 3 monitors, 2 of them used at the moment with twinview. It works well, but i'd like to set up the 3rd to be a straight terminal view. Anyone know how i can do this? [04:39] see if it is there?

[04:40] trying to upload a song youtube [04:40] Okashi: if you are deleting files from the command line, and space is not being reclaimed, then I believe you've got some corruption going on in your filesystem and I would recommend running fsck. It will clear orphan inodes from the filesystem. [04:40] taz, your probably out of luck, especially if its an acpi system...

The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [04:44] rsyncd comes with a couple security pitfalls if you're not careful. It's preferable to do as travers says and simple use SSH as rsync's transport protocol [04:44] travers, i have sshd running.

[04:52] look at pstree see the processes under xorg [04:52] yep with sudo [04:52] g0wda, yeah, you don't want ot start moving around a partition while reading and writing to it [04:52] oh... right i didn't think of that... unmounting :) [04:52] metalpres: oops, sorry. use: nslookup computername [04:53] metalpres bind-tools is win for dns issues [04:53] gdm(2790)───gdm(2793)─┬─Xorg(2798) thats all [04:53] !remaster|daniel1010101 [04:53] daniel1010101: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [04:53] ─sh(3207)─┬─gpg-agent(3263) under xorg goes further [04:53] chuck_: i have read that but is there anything else [04:53] Hi, this is my setup, http://i39.tinypic.com/b4f4a9.jpg I cannot boot to Ubuntu, please help in reisntalling grub [04:54] and another thing... nautilus doesn't open if i put any cd in in jaunty, ther's a bug filed on launchpad the solution as resolved there is to uninstall brasero and use gnomebaker instead! [04:54] can anyone please tell me why i cant seek any audio file in any media player installed... ? [04:54] morningwalker: what type of audio file [04:54] any more orders? [04:54] yep those under xorg arechildprocesses one of those is probably cpu hungry [04:54] raylu: ok that time it gave me the dns server ip [04:54] let pstree guide you [04:54] FluxD: What happens when you boot? [04:54] run top on the other terminal tab [04:54] metalpres: is that the correct server? [04:54] morningwalker: what are the programs saying? [04:54] there is nothing under xorg! [04:54] i still dont know how to create a custom iso [04:55] FluxD: what's with sda5? [04:55] daniel, its not easy. [04:55] oh [04:55] and in htop only 1 process eats 70% as I said in the original message [04:55] jim__; mp3 and wma [04:55] its the ip of my router, not the machine i want to connect to [04:55] what is this process [04:55] arand: I was using the vista bootloader to boot but it somehow messed up and doesnt let me boot in now [04:55] FluxD: Boot to the root filesystem and re-install grub [04:55] morningwalker: no idea [04:55] can anyone hear me? [04:55] raylu: its the ip of my router, not the machine i want to connect to [04:55] infinityxi: the program gives no such error, the cursor in the media payer just doesnt move [04:55] morningwalker, that particular file's encoding doesn't support seek, or is it more than one file type? [04:55] yeach craig [04:55] craig_: yes [04:55] is there anything to create a xact iso of my whole system to a iso for backup [04:55] daniel010101: genisoimage [04:55] /usr/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth [04:55] look into that [04:55] raylu: its a 5 gb windows xp partition [04:56] metalpres: generally, your router is also your dns server, so that's fine [04:56] FluxD: Boot to the root filesystem and do: grub-install hd0 [04:56] usr13: I dont know how to do it [04:56] raylu: yea [04:56] durt; it used to work in the last session [04:56] help, i was messing around with my themes, i rebooted and now i dont see any gnome panels or window titles [04:56] metalpres: in which case, you need to convince your router that computername is something else [04:56] dtchen, thanks. I guess I'm still logged into xchat at work and there's bee a server change, I can't log into the box that faces out [04:56] daniel, sure, mkisofs -U -J -o wholesystem.iso / [04:56] what would you guys recommend for a good irc client for ubuntu [04:56] i don't think i like xchat-gnome [04:56] usr13: I am in livecd now [04:56] FluxD: ah, if you still want to use the vista bcd bootloader I would recommend using EasyBCD from within vista to configure, otherwise install grub. [04:56] FluxD: why is it in your extended partition? [04:56] morningwalker, last session of what? [04:56] <|freddy|> irssi, and i LOVE LOVE LOVE Kvirc [04:56] Is there a list of the best current wireless cards for ubuntu? [04:56] kk [04:56] FluxD: Mount the root filesystem and then chroot to it. [04:56] mkisofs -U -J -o wholesystem.iso / does this create a whole xact copy of my system to iso [04:57] i've heard good things of irssi [04:57] i'll try that [04:57] yeah. [04:57] <|freddy|> meatball: you need kde-libs for kvirc [04:57] arand: I did try with easybcd it wont let me boot into ubuntu still after removing and readding ubuntu [04:57] usr13: --root-directory is simpler [04:57] Severity? [04:57] <|freddy|> but irssi runs from console...so good stuff [04:57] you can loopback mount the resulting iso if you want to verify that [04:57] what do I do with it? [04:57] I can't unmount 1 partition but... it seems it's being used by an app... i don't see which one... is there a way to force unmount it??? [04:57] meatball: xchat-gnome isn't actually xchat, and it's horrible. get real xchat. [04:57] raylu: its a complicated setup with xp vista and ubuntu [04:57] g0wda use -lf [04:57] FluxD: chroot /media/hda4 #where /media/hda4 is the root filesystem. [04:57] raylu: im not sure what you mean [04:57] <|freddy|> and if you find a shell like aterm....you can find some good shells that wont consume much resources [04:57] metalpres: i mean you need to configure your router [04:58] Persi: do you know the PID of that process? [04:58] 2798 [04:58] travers: fulll command pleas :) i unmounted the others with n autilus ;) [04:58] kill it [04:58] it will kill X [04:58] I think [04:58] g0wda umount -lf /dev/problemdrive [04:58] usr13: I am in livecd now, so what is my next step [04:58] thanks [04:58] and Im not used to command line IRC [04:58] kill X on ubuntu? its like the undead, it keeps coming back [04:58] FluxD: That's bothersome... I dodn't know how to fix it through BCD then... does it give any messages when trying to boot into ubuntu? [04:58] ok lets try [04:58] is there an /etc/init.d/X that can be brought down? [04:58] FluxD: Where ever you have /dev/sda6 mounted chroot to it. mount will show you what you have mounted now. [04:59] travers: invoke-rc.d gdm stop [04:59] kill 2798 [04:59] there you guys go [04:59] travers: init 3 [04:59] arand: it gets stuck on Loading partiton image, and it says something about bootpart [04:59] usr13: did you see my earlier comment? consider grub-install --root-directory [04:59] Daz, mmm telinit [04:59] raylu: in my routers settings it already shows my other machine listed and it recognizes the machines name correctly [04:59] i guess persi was right, it did kill X ;) [04:59] raylu: just when i try to connect to that machine using its name from this machine it doesnt respond [05:00] i'm on ubuntu netbook remix, i'm trying to restart x and ctrl-alt-backspace isn;t wokring [05:00] metalpres: then i'm not sure. the problem is most likelywith your router, though [05:00] Can someone tell me which ubuntu theme and iconset are being used in this screenshot: http://techpad.co.uk/images/medium/7qycps8mg.png ? [05:00] metalpres, it just sounds like you need a proper A record in a dns server somewhere [05:00] raylu: no, did not see that... [05:00] Persi: what is the name of that process wit PID 2798 [05:00] can i install ubuntu netbook remix on ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop?? [05:00] ok how helpful was it? [05:00] As of 9.04 CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE no longer kills x by default [05:00] raylu: I usually just use grub-install hd0 === geoffrey is now known as geo [05:00] ahh i see bob_dole [05:00] panfist, 9.04 has disabled ctrl-alt-backspace you need to edit Xorg to enable it - search google for full instructions [05:00] usr13: /dev/sda6 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [05:00] !dontzap | panfist [05:00] panfist: To re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination that restarts your X server, you can install the "dontzap" package and use the command « sudo dontzap --disable ». The combination Alt+SysRq+K can also be used to obtain a similar effect. [05:00] It can be re-enabled, but I can't remember how off the top of my head [05:00] X restarted obviously with no effect, as I have this problem for weeks [05:01] FluxD: chroot /media/disk [05:01] Severity? [05:01] !shipit [05:01] shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send Jaunty (9.04) CDs [05:01] Persi: kill 2798 [05:01] usr13: chroot: cannot change root directory to /media/disk: Operation not permitted [05:01] I did it [05:01] what happened [05:01] just not with PID, with htop [05:01] why dont canonical ship xubuntu :-( [05:01] FluxD: sudo chroot /media/disk [05:01] X restarted [05:01] usr13: right. grub-install hd0 --root-directory=/media/disk; saves you from chrooting [05:01] then? [05:01] as I said [05:02] raylu: ok well thanks anyway, i guess i'll just use my backup plan and set the ips on each machine to be static so i dont have to even worry about using the machine names [05:02] usr13: done next thing? [05:02] I just got my jaunty CD today. I -really- like having at least one pressed, professional looking disk around, rather than burned disks with sloppy permanent marker "labels" [05:02] raylu: Oh, never done that. [05:02] metalpres: as a hack, you could edit /etc/hosts [05:02] metalpres, depending on how ofen the clients dhcp and the dhcpd, they may get the same ip every time [05:02] then what? usual restart, logged in and conky says 60% of both cores are eaten [05:02] FluxD: sudo grub-install hd0 [05:02] (been running jaunty since the beta, though) [05:02] overkill [05:02] with no programs running [05:02] only xchat right now [05:02] overkill what? [05:02] what was the name for 8.04? [05:03] Hardy Heron [05:03] Can someone tell me which ubuntu theme and iconset are being used in this screenshot: http://techpad.co.uk/images/medium/7qycps8mg.png ? [05:03] wrong chat [05:03] Bob_Dole: liveusbs are nicer than discs :D [05:03] usr13: sudo grub-install hd0 sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu /dev/sda6: Not found or not a block device. [05:03] ok anything else for this chat? [05:03] raylu: Thanks for the info.... [05:03] #kubuntu [05:03] hold on [05:03] ok [05:03] raylu, only if your BIOS supports USB boot! and I have 30 machines running jaunty right now that don't. [05:03] travers: no they dont, if 1 machine is on and the other isnt the router just gives out the first available one, so it kind of causes my 2 machines to be constantly switching between 2 ips depending which one was on first or rebooted first [05:04] PacoBuntu: i don't remember the name, but it's easy to find the dark one in the appearance manager [05:04] metalpres, like I said, depends on the dhcpd =) [05:04] have you tried reconfiguring xorg? [05:04] daniel010101, try '/join #kubuntu' [05:04] Bob_Dole: ouch. how do you have the 30 set up? [05:04] hmm [05:04] #xubuntu [05:04] FluxD: grub-install hd0 --root-directory=/media/disk [05:04] FluxD: sudo grub-install hd0 --root-directory=/media/disk [05:04] 8.04 was Hardy Heron, 8.10 was Intrepid Ibex, 9.04 is Jaunty Jackalope, 9.10 will me Karmic Koala. [05:04] I think I did a while back, it gives a blank xorg.conf, right? But I have to turn on UXA to make it bearable [05:05] can you check and see which process is running 60% now [05:05] you suggest I try aain? [05:05] 9.10 =-O [05:05] the same process all the time! [05:05] 9.10 looks good [05:05] no [05:05] now what...? gparted is not opening! i force quit it once! X( guess i'll have to restart and do the unmounting drill again [05:05] but its not even a beta so i wont download it [05:05] altha [05:05] couldn't canonical thivk of an animal starting with K in africa? ;) [05:05] it ends with -nolisten tcp vt7 [05:05] usr13: root@ubuntu:/# sudo grub-install hd0 --root-directory=/media/disk sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu Probing devices to guess BIOS drives.

[05:07] ubottu [05:07] durt: As far as I can tell, you're causing as much disruption. Please stop. [05:07] raylu, Poor school in need of more computers for the students. Had a lot of old machines in the backroom. And the rest of the machines are P3s, too, but go up to 1ghz, 512MB of RAM. [05:07] usr13: not now, but I did few weeks ago [05:07] yeah, ubuntu runs like a champ on "old" machinse... [05:08] Bob_Dole: also, when i said set up, i was more talking about how they were installed, how they update, how users log in [05:08] how can i disable my sound card? [05:08] something is wrong with my sound card hardware. i dont want to use it [05:08] i dont know if its compiz, or gtk, or something, but i rebooted and now i dont see any gnome panels or window title bars [05:08] FluxD: Just looking at http://i39.tinypic.com/b4f4a9.jpg And wondering why the yellow shaded parts of the partitions don't go to the end of the partitions. [05:08] relive: take it out of the PC? [05:08] Can someone tell me which ubuntu theme and iconset are being used in this screenshot: http://techpad.co.uk/images/medium/7qycps8mg.png ? [05:08] raylu, Ah. local logins, restricted. And there's an Ubuntu mirror, so one machine talks to the outside world, the rest talk to it. [05:08] relive: what does it sound like? fuzzy? [05:09] Ghoti_, laptop [05:09] Persi: have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [05:09] no [05:09] usr13: thats the color that shows howmuch of it is full [05:09] travers, no, it keep sending pulse signals [05:09] ill try right no [05:09] w [05:09] Pers, you should run that one, its full of win [05:09] Bob_Dole: cool [05:09] as even stopping GDM doesnt help [05:09] ok [05:09] relive, yeah, that does not sound too hot [05:09] panfist: does alt+f2 work? [05:09] relive: firmly apply a screwdriver to the speaker grille a couple times? :) [05:09] ok I did [05:09] what now? [05:09] FluxD: I'm wondering if the filesystems only occupy part of the partitions, (not the whold partition). [05:10] reboot? [05:10] yep [05:10] travers, not hot all all [05:10] Hello? [05:10] I think it loaded cnf from backup [05:10] what's alt-f2 supposed to do? [05:10] relive, you should be able to turn it off in bios [05:10] ok lets see [05:10] relive: you might try not loading your sound module? [05:10] hey [05:10] panfist: bring up the run dialog [05:10] panfist: wait, you said you don't have window title bars. does that mean you have windows? [05:10] Persi wait [05:10] chuck_, not on modern laptop hardware =) [05:10] usr13: What do you want me to do? I dont mind deleting vista and xp to get ubuntu back [05:10] chuck_, hm... i suppose i can, but i have dual boot [05:10] FluxD: Well, I don't know why grub-install is not working. Maybe someone else here has an idea...? [05:10] youthere Persi [05:10] I just got an ipod touch and was wondering if I could use virtualbox for the itunes store [05:10] travers, where is my sound module? [05:11] Anyone know a good Linux chat room to talk about whatever we want in? [05:11] relive, somewhere in lsmod [05:11] FluxD: replace hd0 with /dev/sda [05:11] fubbycd, yeah, totally [05:11] ok [05:11] raylu from boot i see the icons on my desktop and thats it. i opened one which was a link toa folder. i see nautilus but without the top bar with the title and x, minimize, maximize, etc [05:11] i have a version without usb support [05:11] gymophett, #ubuntu-offtopic [05:11] how do i upgrade to the version with usb support [05:11] and will i loose my xp installation [05:11] fubbycd, do you want to connect your ipood up too? [05:11] its on a virtual drive file [05:11] raylu: sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/media/disk ? [05:12] yeh I have a touch and i want to use itunes store to download some apps [05:12] thanks durt [05:12] i dont have a windows box at all [05:12] or a mac [05:12] i formatted my ubuntu machine and installed xp.. however i forgot to backup a directory.. any way to recover (or at least just get the filenames, filenames are actually more important than the data) [05:12] fubbycd, hrm, try gogle "virtual box itunes ubuntu" [05:12] ok it`s somewhat worse now [05:12] so im in a jam.. I really want a couple of the apps [05:12] definitely not better [05:12] i did [05:12] FluxD: I think you might have lost the grub mbr on the partition, did you change the partition to which grub has written it's mbr recently? [05:12] what im unsure about is the virtualbox part [05:12] what version do i need [05:12] relive, then you can black list it [05:12] fubbycd, try #virtualbox? [05:12] what happened persi? resolution is low? [05:12] and can i update the virtualbox to the version that supports usb connections without loosing my xp installation [05:13] sudo cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:13] resolution? its always ok [05:13] is there actually anyone in that room? [05:13] arand: I did few weeks ago, but it was fine till I shutdown yesterday havent touched any partition for weeks [05:13] fubbycd, heck if I know hehe === CXM is now known as CXM|Away [05:13] is it populated now? [05:13] haha [05:13] lemme see [05:13] guys i am really having lot of trouble with amarok it is not playing any of the songs ! i mean if i double click a song the song name pops up that it its finished it wont go further little help guys posted a screen shot of what does it shoes after running http://122.167.80.129 screen shot 1 [05:13] FluxD: hum, odd... [05:13] chuck_, i am checking /proc/modules [05:13] see if xorg is populated now [05:13] CPU usage is the same if not higher [05:13] it is [05:13] and it was [05:14] /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [05:14] Setup 1 machine with xubuntu, then used Acronis to back it up. After that, just copied the image to all the other machines.. they all have "10GB" HD's, but they are really 9.3-9.5GibiByte.... shouldn't 10 GigaByte all be the same Gibibytes? well anyways, the original machine was a 9.5Gibibyte system. Acronis resizes the swap for me, but ubuntu won't use it because of the UUID thing. I have to manually go in and change it to /dev/ [05:14] sda5 on the 9.3GB drives :/ [05:14] but it doesnt use UXA now which was of some help originally [05:14] FluxD: I have a text file that details restoring grub from a live cd. Give me a minutte or two to pastebin it. [05:14] arand: usr13 raylu Can I delete my xp and vista partitions and free up space will that help? I actually need files from the FAT32 [05:14] That was 1/3rd longer than I thought it was. [05:14] Persi, my guess is you don't have hardware acceleration and you're running something intensive... that would creat high cpu load [05:14] gparted is up and running,,,,, where is it best to place the linux swap part???

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:15] FluxD: Are you out of space?

[05:15] and acceleration is on [05:15] !ot | gymophett [05:15] i can right click on my desktop and create folders, change desktop background etc [05:15] o.0 [05:15] panfist: if you could get to a terminal, i think you want to run "metacity" [05:15] FluxD: yes [05:15] ok, i right clicked on my desktop to change desktop background, then i changed the effects from none to normal (which is what i had last time i rebooted). now my window titles are restored but still no gnome panels [05:15] i can get to a terminal through ctrl-alt-f1 but if i run things in there will that effect ctrl-alt-f7?

[05:15] usr13: Ubuntu is my pririty so I dont care about wiping windows OS [05:15] what version of virtualbox in the repos supports usb connections? [05:15] or I think it is [05:15] FluxD: Probably not with the boot issue... by the way how did you setup easybcd in the first place? [05:15] im on 9.04 [05:15] there was smth about it in wiki [05:15] im a jaunty jackalope [05:16] FluxD: http://paste.ubuntu.com/176138/ [05:16] FluxD: Yes, you can delete the NTFS or FAT32 partitions, but I do not think it will solve the problem of not being able to re-install grub. [05:16] arand: xp and vista were auto added, and Ubuntu using the Linux tab [05:16] FluxD: I used it once or twice...but it has been a while. Still, the info should be valid [05:16] well thanks for playing anyways [05:17] which version of linux would run good on a PII 300mhz [05:17] how did you install ubuntu, with grub bootaloder etc.? [05:17] gop: I had Gentoo running on that exact configuration for a long, long time as a headless server [05:17] arand try fluxbuntu, but more like DSL for that machine [05:17] gop, try an ubuntu cli install with lxde [05:17] gnome-appearance segfault... [05:17] th0r, arand, raylu, usr13 is it due to the fact that ubuntu is on an extended partition? [05:17] in my /var/log/messages [05:17] FluxD: how did you install ubuntu, with grub bootaloder etc.? [05:18] Persi: see if xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed [05:18] FluxD: That should not matter. [05:18] arand, installed vista first, then xp, then ubuntu, and installed grub to sda6 only I think [05:18] probably the driver installed in your machine is mesa [05:18] FluxD: have you tried grub-install with /dev/sda yet? [05:19] raylu: can you paste the compelte command? [05:19] FluxD: you had it right [05:19] HI all. Is there a star raiders style game for ubuntu? [05:19] of course it is, I started with saying that I have latest driver from crack pushers [05:19] FluxD: 11:12:38 FluxD> raylu: sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/media/disk ? [05:19] lemme reboot again, I have an idea [05:19] Also, what would make a desktop launcher take 2x as long to start Firefox in comparison to starting it from the applications tab? [05:19] Bob_Dole: cache? [05:19] if i put a shortcut to a vritual terminal in my ~/Desktop folder, i can get terminal access from within a GUI...how do i make a shortcut to a virtual terminal [05:19] trying that raylu [05:20] raylu, starting on different machines it did that [05:20] raylu: root@ubuntu:/# sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/media/disk sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu /dev/sda: Not found or not a block device. [05:20] Bob_Dole: still, cache [05:20] FluxD: oh... [05:20] FluxD: fix your /etc/sudoers === zoomosis is now known as ozzmosis [05:20] th0r, arand, raylu, usr13 I am going to try http://paste.ubuntu.com/176138/ [05:20] floobot fight <.< [05:20] FluxD: i assume there's a pause after you run the command? [05:21] *flood [05:21] FluxD: also, pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" please [05:21] FluxD: when you are ready we can discuss the hd(0,0) thing [05:21] raylu: pause? root@ubuntu:/# sudo fdisk -l sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu cannot open /proc/partitions [05:22] FluxD: sounds like the drive may have crashed [05:22] FluxD: when you use sudo, is there a delay before the command is run? [05:22] does anyone know of a list of "must have" PPA's and other mods to fix known issues that are not fixed in the official repos? (such as themuso's pulseaudio PPA, etc) [05:22] FluxD: does xp or vista boot? Can you get even a start at booting up? [05:22] th0r: I am on that drive right now [05:23] th0r: vista and xp boots fine [05:23] FluxD: Looks like you need to edit device.map [05:23] Does anyone know why gvim would render the font "Monospace 9" differently than gnome-terminal ? [05:23] FluxD: are you on a livecd now? [05:24] th0r: yes [05:24] th0r, arand, raylu, usr13 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1114834 [05:24] FluxD: Maye be an error in /media/disk/boot/grub/device.map [05:24] last error is what I get for ubuntu [05:24] I'm finding it rather annoying. gvim renders it as a nice, easier to read taller font than "Monospace 8". But gnome-terminal adds what seems like a bunch of arbitrary extra space, despite the fact that the font selector dialog seems to render it the way I'd expect [05:24] FluxD: you might want to try root (hd0,5) instead, if you still want to try to get bcd up. [05:25] almost as if gnome-terminal thinks it's a variable width font [05:25] arand: what do you mean? [05:25] how do i get permission in nautilus to copy a folder ? [05:26] FluxD: when using the commands you put in pastebin, that should install grub to mbr on sda6... I think [05:26] is it possible to convert mpeg video into flash ? [05:26] okay trying [05:26] FluxD: arand is correct, for sda6 it should be hd0,5 [05:26] someone please help im trying to figure it out myself but its confusing.. im on jaunty jackalope and im wanting to install virtualbox with usb support [05:27] its not on the distro [05:27] all i see is ose [05:27] how do i install the one with usb support into jaunty and will it delete my old xp installation on ose [05:27] <|freddy|> anyone got problems running aptana? i get an error when trying to load it [05:27] it says something about installing the non free version [05:27] my floppydrive is going beserk why isnt anyone helping :( [05:28] th0r, arand, raylu, usr13 http://pastebin.ca/1428133 [05:28] th0r: You do use root (hd0,5) and then setup (hd0) right < it thinks the root thing is hd0? [05:28] arand: correct. for sda6. [05:29] PacoBuntu, there are lots of people here, so it can take weeks to get an answer, be patient :) [05:29] anyone have a solution to the flash issue with 9.04 on older hardware? [05:29] is it possible to remove a key from gconf editor? [05:29] how do I change servers? [05:29] I'm looking for galaxynet.org [05:29] PacoBuntu, Have you tried a different floppy disk? [05:29] nads: which client do you use? [05:30] FluxD: That is your output? In that case it looks it might work... [05:30] arand: FluxD the command might be chroot instead of root [05:30] xchat-gnome [05:30] nads: I would recommend the original xchat [05:30] i just installed ubuntu with gnome, is there a way to install lxde [05:30] Hey guys i was installing a deb package and the installation crashed. Now when i try to reinstall it it tells me i have to close another package manager (which is not visible). How can i fix this? Thanks [05:30] how do I change servers to galaxynet.org using xchat-gnome? [05:30] huh th0r ? [05:30] nads: try /server galaxynet.org [05:30] trevor: sudo apt-get install lxde ? [05:30] Linux newbie here [05:30] FluxD: th0r: not within grub i don't think [05:30] that didnt work [05:30] it didnt do anything [05:30] FluxD: Looks like you've got it. [05:31] mylinux friend installed this, I'm stuck with it for now! [05:31] ralmar, reboot and try again. [05:31] FluxD: the pastebin looks like you got it [05:31] trevor: you need to logout and the log back in but select LXDE as your session [05:31] th0r, arand, raylu, usr13 I will readd ubuntu using bcd and test it and come back [05:31] FluxD: Now I think you could try configuring BCD again... [05:31] stryd_one, im pretty sure this can be fixed without a reboot, dont know how though [05:31] FluxD: exactemundo :) [05:31] th0r, arand, raylu, usr13 thsnks again hopefully it works [05:31] brb [05:32] FluxD: sometimes the old stuff just keeps working [05:32] ralmar, yes im sure it can, but a reboot is a quick and easy answer [05:32] i treid that ziroday, there was no lxde session [05:32] it said 0 changed, 0 updated blah blah blah when i did sudo aptitude install lxde [05:32] * raylu is still concerned that FluxD's fdisk -l came up all screwy [05:32] FluxD: As long as /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst and /boot/grub/device.map have correct drive designations you should be good to go. [05:33] how can i install extra gnome colors? [05:33] gnome colors? [05:34] install a color? [05:34] trevor: and you're sure you have the lxde package installed? [05:34] it says that it is in the repos now since 8.10 [05:34] how can i setup a script to run every hour [05:34] ? [05:34] i dont know if that is correct or if i have to do something else [05:34] R0b`, use cron [05:34] trevor: install the lxde package, like you would install any other package [05:34] cron?
