But, still build the list and reinstall everything. Things other than the desktop were probably broken. Ubuntu uses Python for a bunch of tools. That is one thing I like about Ubuntu.

[00:51] burned to CD via windows/infra recorder [00:51] does anyone here know how to use setuid/gid? [00:51] zach74, looks like you need to try "dpkg -r language-pack-gnome-en-base language-pack-gnome-en" to get around that [00:51] Knyte: could you point us to the source of the CD? [00:52] neurobuntu_, somewhat, though relying on it too much can make a system less secure in some ways [00:52] how to put a password for a folder [00:52] neurobuntu_, usually sudo is the preferred method of getting stuff done as the big guy [00:52] the link on the ubuntu site.. MIT.. one sec - http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/jaunty/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso [00:52] !encrypted|ruler [00:52] ruler: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [00:53] (Reading database ... dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: [00:53] files list file for package `language-pack-gnome-en-base' is missing final newline [00:53] dgh1973, what I'm trying to do is make it so any file created under a folder inherits the ownership of the parent folder [00:53] ruler, not possible, but truecrypt or something like that can encrypt folders for you [00:53] hola [00:53] gente [00:53] I'm trying to setup a box with two internet providers witout mixing packets up. I found this http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html. I need someone good with networking to verify the variables I chose: http://pastebin.com/d7e92154 (at the bottom) [00:53] it was downloaded about 9 days ago as well [00:53] !es | erickrauda [00:53] erickrauda: 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. [00:54] ok [00:54] hola erickrauda, que paso? [00:54] por aca [00:54] bien [00:54] y tu [00:54] could i just remove the language pack? [00:54] ?? [00:54] erickrauda: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:54] neurobuntu_, interesting... you can set a specific umask at the user level, but that doesn't really look at parent dirs, you have a process in place for the file creation? I.e. you can do this with a program to read parent perms and write file accordingly [00:54] anyone knows how to use dvb-s with totam or/and vlc? (btw, please dont suggest kaffeine, its too bloated for me) thanx! [00:54] dgh1973, umask only handles the file permissions not the file ownership [00:55] Knyte: reboot the system and instead of booting from the liveCD, choose the "install" option from the boot menu directly [00:55] neurobuntu_, other than that, there MIGHT be some low level file manipulation commands that can do this, not sure [00:55] not really an option as i don't havea ps/2 keyboard here.. [00:55] erickrauda: estoy bien, gracias [00:55] how do i add something to my path permanently? [00:55] dgh1973 how can i install encrypt [00:56] can someone help me to reenable my wireless? I don't know how to renable it [00:56] hvgotcodes, look into .bashrc i think for path [00:56] dgh1973, i've been told by people that setuid/gid can do it.... I have a media folder (pictures, music, etc..) that I want to share between two users, so I created a group added them both to the group. Then when either users adds files to the folder they are both the owner and the group I'd like to automate it so that when files/folders are added the joint group is used by default not the users group... but I want this to hap [00:56] hvgotcodes: the path is usually setup in .bashrc in your home directory [00:56] pen only for this specific folder [00:56] que bueno me alegro [00:56] bjorn, i looked in there didn't see it [00:56] ruler, you can try this "apt-get install gdecrypt" [00:57] dgh1973: add sudo to it ;) [00:57] ruler, have not used that, just looking at what's available in deb repo [00:57] should i just do export path=newstuff:$PATH? [00:57] Getting a script to run at boot before login: Put it in you ~/.bashrc. Something like: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin ... [00:57] ruler, also try "apt-cache search crypt" for other possibilities [00:57] guessing that will be the only thing getting me into ubuntu.. an old ps/2 keyboard.. :| [00:57] hello, i am new to ubuntu and would like to know if their is any good seo softwares available for this os? [00:57] hvgotcodes: yes that is correct [00:57] aaditya, yeah sorry, I alias that out... sudo for all package management stuff guys sry! [00:58] bjorn, thanx [00:58] !info truecrypt [00:58] Package truecrypt does not exist in jaunty [00:58] bjorn, i installed java from synaptic but the JAVA_HOME var is not set [00:58] is that supposed to happen automagically>? [00:58] hvgotcodes: you can also do 'echo $PATH' to review your current path. it's just an env. variable [00:58] would anyone like to help a relatively new ubuntu user? [00:58] !ask [00:58] i need help [00:58] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:59] k thanks [00:59] Guest75616; if i can i will [00:59] what is the question [00:59] neurobuntu_, ahh right, that may be true, not sure how setuid/setguid works on a dir... that might be the case [00:59] well i somehow changed my sudo and no longer and able to use any sudo commands [00:59] off to find one.. thanks for the help everyone.. === ring1 is now known as ring0 [00:59] hvgotcodes, sorry man the path variable is actually in the .profile file [00:59] hvgotcodes: i'm not sure, probably it should. However setting that up will be the same (.bashrc is just a shell script executed on login - you can write anything there that goes into the shell) [00:59] dgh1973, all I can find about setuid on the tubes is that it is used to let users run executables as root but nothing like what I am doing [01:00] bjorn, just not sure where the java home is [01:00] ZykoticK9, ah that might be better [01:00] dgh1973 thans [01:00] My wireless stopped working on Ubuntu 9.04 and it worked fine previously in 9.04. I can connect to my wireless network but when I open firefox I get "server not foud" [01:00] Guest75616; sorry dude I am pretty new also, and dont know about that [01:00] neurobuntu_, ahh I got you... that's what it does for dirs... check this link http://www.zzee.com/solutions/linux-permissions.shtml#setuid === nicolas_ is now known as Guest39699 [01:00] could be a problem with ur router [01:00] hvgotcodes, actually they must be somewhere else too, as they call $PATH in the .profile as well ??? [01:00] neurobuntu_, what are trying to do? [01:00] i get this whenever i enter a sudo command: sudo: must be setuid root [01:01] see if internet is working on another comp [01:01] neurobuntu_, so in order to do what you want you just "chmod g+s dir" [01:01] hvgotcodes: I have got no such variable setup in my env. i compiled a java application yesterday. not sure what you're trying to achieve [01:01] hello, i am new to ubuntu and would like to know if their is any good seo softwares available for this os? [01:01] and chgrp to required group [01:01] n00b871: yes there is [01:01] bjorn; thank you! what is it called?

I duel boot Ubuntu with Windows and the internet works fine in windows [01:02] n00b871 Tell people what seo software is.. too many acronyms [01:02] i am on the first user accont, but i mistakenly changed a bunch of ownerships by putting in a code i found on a forum (dumb) [01:02] ruler, sorry I'm not sure what you are referring to [01:02] n00b871: sorry I misread your question. now i'm not sure :/ [01:02] bjorn, its wierd - i can run eclipse no problem, but have no env var for JAVA_HOME [01:02] grails needs it [01:02] usser, from a quote from him... " I have a media folder (pictures, music, etc..) that I want to share between two users, so I created a group added them both to the group. Then when either users adds files to the folder they are both the owner and the group I'd like to automate it so that when files/folders are added the joint group is used by default not the users group..." [01:02] Jack_Sparrow: Search engine optimazation software [01:02] seo is search engine optimization. It does not really make sense for an OS> [01:02] noober300 NOw add that to your question and Wait a few minutes between repeats [01:03] dgh1973, yea whoever suggested gsuid, thats the way [01:03] for making reports on keywords, and to submit your pages to them and such [01:03] dgh1973, i'd also change umask on the directory so group has writeable [01:03] dgh1973 before username come blue colour line come and not loaded more what is the reason [01:03] usser, yeah he had that himself, just wasn't sure how to implement I think [01:04] ruler, on the console or a graphical/GDM/X login? (aka do you have a mouse cursor?) === Paraselene__ is now known as Paraselene_ [01:04] !vmware > noober300 [01:04] noober300, please see my private message [01:04] also, how exactly do i get to the recovery console? i have an ubuntu cd, but whenever i try to boot from it, i never get recovery console as an option [01:04] Severian; I am new to linux, under windows i used IBP for SEO, i cant seem to find any seo software for linux [01:04] neurobuntu_, usser here has good tips for you! [01:04] dgh1973 no mouse corsor weather virus [01:04] usser, I'm trying to make it such that any file/folder created under a specific folder inherits the _ownership_ of the parent dir [01:05] Guest75616: Go to other options [01:05] noober300: use App Runner: http://hacktolive.org/runner [01:05] usser, dgh1973 sorry stepped away for a second [01:05] from the boot menu? [01:05] that had nothing in it [01:05] dgh1973 i put a pendrive with autorun.inf virus [01:05] Guest75616: If that is it, burn a new CD. [01:06] ruler, that's what we call a PEBCAC error [01:06] Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard [01:06] Guest75616: Recovery console is a normal boot option (from the HD) [01:06] dgh1973 what is that [01:06] dgh1973: LOL nice [01:06] hvgotcodes: try ' /usr/lib/jamvm/' [01:06] dgh1973 i cant understand [01:06] well i'll try it agian [01:07] so how do i access it? [01:07] usser, dgh1973 so I set my umask to 0002 and run chmod g+s and that will do it? [01:07] n00b871, seo is done for a web server, not an OS. I don't use those tools, since I don't think they are really on the up and up, but I know what they accomplish. [01:07] bjorn, /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java [01:07] ruler, but in all seriousness, if it's a boot sector virus you'll need to clean that up before installing a new os, but it should not effect ubuntu directly in most cases (there are linux viruses out there but so rare as to be non-existent) [01:08] neurobuntu_, I think so, you can "sudo su - testuser" and write some files and see [01:08] Guest75616: Go to boot options [01:08] Guest75616: And run it [01:08] dgh1973 sudo su is a bad idea [01:08] hvgotcodes: yep that is true for my setup, but some googeling gave that the dir. of interest would be found by locate /rt.jar [01:08] dgh1973, thanks a lot! [01:08] dgh1973 thans [01:08] dgh1973: sudo -u may help you [01:08] usser, thanks! [01:08] dgh1973: " ruler, that's what we call a PEBCAC error" "dgh1973: Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard" sorry to be anal but wouldnt that be a PEBCAK error not a PEBCAC error?

Frankly i'm quite off now [01:08] n00b871, yes I stand corrected [01:09] bjorn, i dont have the dir you reference, but I do have /usr/lib/jvm/ [01:09] which is correct [01:09] dgh1973 It is NOT something we suggest to users in this channel [01:09] thanx [01:09] Jack_Sparrow, sorry understood [01:09] ty === nubuntu is now known as zenxr [01:09] bjorn, grails needs an env_var [01:09] How do i enable usb in virtualbox [01:10] 9.04 anyone got wine running with pulseaudio?

[01:10] dgh1973, I tested it and it worked [01:10] I can no longer connect to the internet on my ubuntu 9.04. I worked previously in 9.04. I can connect to my wireless network but when I open firefox I get "server not found." If I type sudo lshw -C network in the terminal it says my PCMCIA card is disabled [01:10] hey, I'm having a problem with flash. The problem is that sometimes it works and other times it doesn't work. I installed flash using "Ubuntu Extras" and I have no other packages related to flash installed. All Im trying to do is watch videos on youtube. What can I do to fix this inconsistent problem? [01:10] cool, App Runner worked, thanks ubuntistas [01:10] notlistening Perhaps /join #winehq [01:10] iluminator101, you need to be using the VirtualBox direct from Sun and not the OSE edition that is in the Ubuntu repos [01:10] neurobuntu_, rock on! thanks to usser for the assist [01:10] puel version [01:11] neurobuntu_, sounds like you had that one worked out on your own though [01:11] !flash [01:11] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:11] ty Jack_Sparrow [01:11] np [01:11] hvgotcodes: try to set it to your /usr/lib/* directory and see what happens...sorry i'm not famililar with this [01:11] dgh1973, no way I wouldnt have gotten it without your chmod help [01:11] hey folks im new 2 computers & kinda worried about security is this just a windows issue? [01:11] Jack_Sparrow, they don't like pulseaudio [01:11] notlistening Neither do I [01:11] iluminator101: Please don't go offtopic here. Go to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:11] bjron, i got it, your suggestions led me right to to it [01:12] hvgotcodes: update-java-alternatives may help you [01:12] hey guys, I started to notice slow boot it hangs out for a few seconds, wanted to upgrade the kernel in order to fix that and nothing in the repositories, what do you suggest? checked /var/log/messages and no luck either [01:12] Venom010, Linux or the mac are inherently much more secure. But, they are not immune from security problems. [01:12] hvgotcodes: did it work? [01:12] Venom010: if you stick to repo software and update your OS, you should be fine [01:12] ah well only thing that don't work with is now is wine, shame my project is based in whine lol back to 8.10 [01:13] Artichoke200: how was he offtopic? [01:13] sica Remove quiet and splash from the grub boot line and see where it is hanging [01:13] bjron, i did the following [01:13] sorry folks got lost there [01:13] export GRAILS_HOME=~/grails-1.1.1/ [01:13] export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [01:13] export PATH=$GRAILS_HOME/bin:$PATH [01:13] Artichoke200: where is boot options?

[01:13] bjorn, that worked like a champ. sorry for the flood [01:13] hvgotcodes: i'd recommend adding things to the end of path instead of beginning [01:13] Guest75616 gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:14] Artichoke200: what? it seemed to me that he was speaking about virtualbox [01:14] raylu, i hear ya [01:14] hvgotcodes: great work [01:14] Artichoke200: No, he was asking for Ubuntu support. Please let the operators handle people being offtopic, just worry about yourself. Thanks. [01:15] bjorn, now i need to think of an app to train myself on grails with [01:15] hello everyone! I need some help with lvm. I followed the guide at: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem [01:15] this is probably going to be a dumb question...what is the linux version (or a really good really user friendly) of Sony Vegas? [01:15] jack_sparrow: i entered that but i got no output [01:15] but when grub boots it can't find /dev/mapper/device-name [01:15] Guest75616: where did you enter it? [01:15] Guest75616 gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst LST lower case should have brought up an editor and the file [01:16] terminal [01:16] Guest75616 Are you running ubuntu>? [01:16] jack_sparrow: yes. of course i am running ubuntu, i somehow changed my sudo, that is the problem [01:16] Guest75616: Did you make any kernal updates? [01:16] Lately [01:16] ? [01:16] so any sudo commands in the terminal and completely null and void at this point [01:16] where did this mispelling of kernEl i see all the time come from? [01:17] !enter > Artichoke200 [01:17] Artichoke200, please see my private message [01:17] i am running 8.04 ubuntu [01:17] hack2live, stick 2 repo softwares, do u mean dont download from likes of softpedia.com? [01:17] and i have made every update [01:17] raylu, popcorn I think [01:17] Guest75616 boot a livecd [01:17] Guest75616: sudo lsb_release -a [01:17] raylu, but that is kernel too isn't it? hmm good Q [01:17] i tried booting a live cd, however, i couldnt find the recovery console [01:18] dgh1973: no, kernAl is wrong [01:18] Guest75616 No recovery on the live, it is a grub menu option on boot, hit esc after mem test to find it [01:18] from wikipedia: This article is about Commodore's 8-bit OS software. Kernal is also a common misspelling of kernel. [01:18] raylu: when i enter that, the output i get is: sudo: must be setuid root [01:18] raylu, even the chicken guy is colonel, ahh wikip to the rescue! [01:18] so what would booting from a live cd do for me? [01:19] Guest75616 Let you edit the sudoer file for one [01:19] ok [01:19] Guest27733, you will the be able to mount your root partition through another system (the live CD) and add yourself back to the /etc/sudoers file [01:19] ok [01:19] Guest75616: visudo [01:19] Jack_Sparrow, sorry about the echo [01:19] yea i checked that out [01:19] Guest75616: also, "lsb_release -a" without sudo [01:19] Guest75616 Are you on the first user account that was created or some other.. se also By Editing sudoers with visudo Remember this.. [01:20] ok === Swiatecki is now known as swiatOFF [01:20] now to boot with the live cd, simply restart or shutdown with the cd in drive? [01:20] yep [01:20] ok [01:20] Hi. I'm trying to install a wg111t wireless adapter on my ubuntu computer. I need the .inf file for the driver for ndiswrapper. Netgear's website seems to have dropped the normal driver downloads in favor of a windows .exe only. Does anyone know a place I can find them? [01:20] there are no lsb modules available [01:21] Joeseph: you can try extracting them by beginning an install with wine [01:21] Guest75616: i'm not so sure you're on ubuntu [01:21] Joeseph Simple way, find a windows user and install it on their system and grab what you need from that [01:21] ok.... [01:22] i'm not exactly sure how to answer that [01:22] raylu, Jack_Sparrow: That's a good idea. I'll try each, thanks. [01:22] this is the output i got from lsb_release -a === lyle is now known as box [01:22] No LSB modules are available.

[01:22] Guest75616: oh. [01:22] Guest75616: i thought the only output was the lack of lsb modules [01:22] no [01:22] sorry, i should have specified [01:22] raylu It always says no lsb modues with the -a option [01:23] hey is there free teleconferencing software for linux that is compatible with WebEx? http://www.webex.com/ [01:23] VLC will not play anything, MP3s or streaming audio (ie DI.FM) what can I do to fix this? [01:24] I know this may not be the best channel but I don't know where else I would ask this, since there is no "ie" channel... does anyone know if Internet Explorer 6 supports PNG images? I can't tell from a google search whether it has incomplete support or none [01:24] Where in Ubuntu do I need to go to change my DVD-Drive configuration from Read-Only to Write..? [01:25] raylu It always says no lsb modues with the -a option Use the -i -r and -c options as needed [01:25] I am having problems connecting to the internet. If I type sudo lshw -C network in the terminal it says my PCMCIA card is disabled. [01:25] foolz, I think it has some support. If I remember right, it may not handle transparency right. [01:25] I need help with lvm. [01:25] I followed this guide: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem but Grub can't find the root partition. Error message is: "ALERT! /dev/mapper/lvmvol-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell." [01:25] Any idea why the lvm partitions don't show under /dev/mapper?

I am trying to debug a Bluetooth issue. [01:26] hmm... my friend gave me several PNG images to include on a website I am creating for him, and they do not appear in IE6... you think they could have transparent parts without me realizing it? [01:26] <|PiP|> ive got 2 girls that i want to get them start using computers but don't want to buy new computers for them. can they use some sort of terminal service to connect to my computer? [01:26] <|PiP|> i was looking at PXE but am unsure what I should be looking at [01:27] |PiP|: How old are they? [01:27] <|PiP|> 6 [01:27] raylu: hahahaha.... it went through the whole install just fine.... [01:27] Where do I have to go to change the permissions on my DVD-ROM drive mount from Read-Only to Write..? [01:27] <|PiP|> Zzeiss: i want to be able to customize their desktop, pick the programs they can use, etc [01:28] wat? [01:28] |PiP|: Well, that's about the right age for a OLPC. And you'd still need a computerish device to connect to yours... [01:28] not lengua englis [01:28] |PiP|: How about one of the EEE PC netbooks? [01:28] Haze420, it doesn't really work like that. what are you having problems with? [01:28] portugues [01:28] !pt | fredo [01:29] fredo: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [01:29] foolz, maybe. I am sorry I can't be more definite. I don't run any IE newer than 5.5 And, I have not run that in a while. So, I am going from memory. If you are displaying the pngs in IE, then trust your eyes. Convert them to jpegs if you need ie support. [01:29] <|PiP|> Zzeiss: i have a couple of old machines. i'd rather it be a full-size desktop [01:29] <|PiP|> Zzeiss: connected through some sort of limited terminal service that they turn on [01:29] |PiP|, What you are talking about is the old model of a network with a mainframe. Just a mouse, monitor and keyboard are at the desk. There are several workstations like this and they all connect to the mainframe (your serer) [01:29] this is strange, suddenly when i login to ubuntu 8.04, it sometimes uses my pc speaker instead of desk speaker for the audio, i did blacklist-ed pcsspkr already [01:29] |PiP|: So? What's the problem then? You clearly already have an ubuntu disk. Why not just take off apps till it is what you want them to have? [01:29] severian, thanks for the help [01:30] Haze420, the ROM in DVD-ROM should be a clue... [01:30] why ubuntu switches my audio device to internal speaker? [01:30] sounds like noise... [01:30] <|PiP|> Zzeiss: well i want to be able to monitor what they are doing from my own computer [01:31] <|ntegra|> if I sudo shutdown for 2 hours time, will that leave my password/sudosu easily accessible to strangers for that 2 hours? === Paddy_EIRE_ is now known as Paddy_EIRE [01:31] I'm looking for a *.chm to *.pdf converter, could anyone recommand a good one for me ? [01:32] <|PiP|> http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/technologies/ltsp is this any good? [01:33] xiamx, chm files are basically just html files - there isn't an easy way to just convert that to a page layout (ie pdf) [01:33] |PiP|, There are several options you have. You could go the LTSP route that you suggested at first. That does not need much hardware on their machines, but it needs to be the right hardware. LTSP is not easy to setup, but it works well on supported hardware. === bk is now known as bk|away [01:34] <|PiP|> Severian: what hardware is supported? [01:34] <|PiP|> Severian: and what other options do I have? [01:34] ZykoticK9, some of chm files contain images though [01:35] hey guys, what can i use to capture my desktop as video? [01:35] |PiP|, Look for the LTST website for details. I am still trying to find a simple list of supported hardware. No luck yet. [01:35] Out of curiosity...... The wg111t not having 'plug and play' in jaunty...... is that Netgear's fault, or Ubuntu's fault? [01:36] |PiP|, option 2 would be a minimal setup with a NoMachine client on each of their machines. (or VNC, but it is slower) [01:36] Joeseph Netgear, as they should provide proper drivers or open code so we can adjust as needed [01:37] xiamx, i'm sure it's possible - probably just not easy [01:37] |PiP|, Option three would be to roll your own minimal setup and have it connect to your computer to run X. Option 4 would be to setup a good firewall/NAT with Dan's Guardian on it and then run their machines as normal desktops. [01:37] Jack_Sparrow: So, is the 'plug and play' capabilities of the 'wg111' (as opposed to the 'wg111t') are a result of Netgear, and not ubuntu? [01:38] what can i use to capture my desktop as video? [01:38] <|ntegra|> xiamx: as far as these guys http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-applications/51651-html-pdf-converter.html say :: all you have to do is open the cfm in oOo.2 and up, and then save it as pdf [01:38] mib_j4182xi0, gtk-recordmydesktop and istanbul are screencasting software in the ubuntu repo [01:38] I am having problems connecting to the internet. If I type sudo lshw -C network in the terminal it says my PCMCIA card is disabled. [01:39] Joeseph We can only work with what we have... All of these revisions are not helping them at all. BCM43xx have several chipsets [01:39] ZykoticK9: ok thanks bro [01:39] sorry my charset is ok? [01:39] mib_j4182xi0, and ffmeg can be used to capture the desktop. I screencaster I know gets his best results that way. [01:39] What is the difference between ubuntu desktop addition and server addition? [01:39] mib_j4182xi0, That should have been ffmpeg [01:39] <|PiP|> thanks Severian, good information. now i know what to look at [01:40] Reefer server has no gui [01:40] <|PiP|> btw what is PXE used for? [01:40] ok [01:40] Reefer, for 1 server doesn't have a GUI Graphic User Interface [01:40] So if i want to setup my box to be a dedi i can use server addition? [01:40] http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ is spewing out errors at me [01:40] Whats the requirements to run ubuntu? === tpw_rules_church is now known as tpw_rules_ [01:41] mib_j4182xi0, Severian vlc can record desktop as well. But seriously I miss the seom compiz plugin that was very fluent at recording even opengl renderings without too much overhead and very few dropped frames [01:41] Oh come on...... I'm using Ndisgtk to install the netwg11t.inf driver for the wg111t adapter, but I'm getting "invalid driver".... any ideas? [01:41] hello folks..is there a way to migrate the data i have on a debian machine to ubuntu on the same machine with a new, clean partition? Doesn't seem like i should be able to do that, but something in the documentation seems to suggest it's possible [01:41] Reefer It tells that on the ubuntu site for each of the versions ubuntu, kubuntu xubuntu [01:41] tpw_rules_: yep. looks like something ran out of disk space there... [01:41] Reefer, anything you can do with server you can do with desktop! so to start out desktop is MUCH easier to get going!

I use imap so everything stays on the server [01:45] Reefer: do you have the error message? [01:45] Reefer: also did you check the cd to make sure its good.

[01:46] man, ubuntu brainstorm is having issues [01:47] Reefer, I also suggest the alternate install cd, esp if your system is giving you fits: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate [01:47] hmm that doesnt answer my question completely does it yes or no [01:47] mram50: Oops: it's spread over few different places.

I was just sort of digging around in the docs about migrating from windows which i haven't used in eons and it seemd kind of like.. well, if I could do thai with windows then surely with another disto it would be a breeze.. [01:49] jack_sparrow: filename.rar [01:49] compiz fusion sucks big time [01:49] ;) I was just thinking it would be nice to not have to take all that time doing all this stuff.. wishful thinking I guess ;) [01:49] ruler Understood, and to unpack it you use un-rar like I said [01:50] what the formation?? what's wrong with that??3 [01:50] it makes my system slow, grays it out, and crashes [01:50] how can install it [01:50] mram50: my understanding is that even with windows, the so-called migration tools have only limited success... [01:50] i am new to ubuntu [01:51] sounds about right to me too.. last time I did anything with windows i just wrote it all down and retyped everything [01:51] |PiP|, a friend of mine is involved in a project to make a simple router to handle situations like yours. You can see the project at http://packetprotector.org/index.html It talks about wireless, but it handles wired connections, too.

[01:52] is there an expert heah with cinelerra [01:52] ok i didnt know if you needed a dvd r or a cdr was fine [01:52] I typed 64.233.161.182 into my web browser but it seems to be stuck loading. In the status bar it hangs at "connecting to 64.233.161.18 2" [01:52] Reefer cd is fine even though the file is 700meg [01:53] <|ntegra|> thank you Jack_Sparrow [01:53] np [01:53] lol jack sparrow [01:53] Jack, sorry i violated your sensibilities, do you go out after four pm? [01:53] Reefer, the normal Ubuntu download is a CDR. There is a DVD version, but if it is under 700 meg, it is a CDR. [01:53] mram50: I have it down to something of an art these days: about 17 files from /etc plus everything in /home. The real problem going between OSes is that you can't be sure the file formats will be identical. Going from debian to ubuntu they'll be close, but close doesn't really cut it...

I'm hoiping ubuntu will be cleaner for that..seems to have a lot of the same stuff debian has though,,just a tad cleaner [01:54] zombie-robot try it without compiz effects turned on [01:54] zombie-robot, it is not perfect. But, it is much better than the Adobe Flash player for people who care about security. [01:54] Ok last question. I have a machine. i installed another HD can i put ubuntu on that HD and keep windows on the other and still get the option to select what os i want to run/ [01:55] Reefer YEs [01:55] ok thats it [01:55] thanks [01:55] flash player is screwy lewey in debian or my older version anyway [01:55] Reefer Plan on a bit of grub tweeking to get the mbr right, best way is both on primary drive and your data on the spare drive [01:56] mram50: 8.04.2 LTS is a very stable, solid release. 9.04 is notorious for flash problems...

[01:56] aleron6: huh? there are always open bugs in all versions [01:57] nope still doesnt work after i turn off compiz [01:57] i don't remember which i have..i suppose i could check.. i've just not used flash in so long and now it seems every page i go to uses it [01:57] but i mean for the video cards [01:57] aleron6, People are working on it. It is getting better all the time. [01:57] Reefer BEst to keep questions in the channel so we can try to make sure you get the best advice and not misdirection [01:57] aleron6: which one? [01:57] isent it the intell and ati ones [01:57] aleron6: the intel ones work if you enable the testing repo and install the updates.. ATI, not really sure. [01:57] thats why i have migrated to it [01:57] im still in 8.10 [01:58] Reefer, start here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1002167 [01:58] i thought of going back to mandriva, but it bogs me down so slow....old clunker [01:58] i wouldnt rishk9.10 [01:58] im using 8.04 and megaupload flash wont work :/ [01:58] mram50: I use flashblock.

I just downloaded a version..probably the latest.. maybe I'll go back and dig up an older version with the bugs worked out. ;) [02:01] aleron6: and different people have different ideas about what it means to be 'stable' [02:01] losher:yes i tried to do but failed [02:01] lol how is that so wen version 9.10 comes out it wont be final either [02:02] aleron6: i would guess if they are proposed backups, probably not.. i enabled it w/o to much trouble. [02:02] When I connect my usb keyboard to my laptop how do I effect the xbindkeys configuration on the usb keyboard without restarting X? [02:02] aleron6: which intel device do you ahve.

[02:04] jorgen sorry, no idea on that [02:04] Pixels, That is serious. There are other choices. What you you not like about pidgen? [02:04] do I need to add any plugins for firefox, e/.g noscript? Or will I be ok and not get infected with anything from visiting websites? [02:04] mram50: all the ubuntu releases do [02:04] i thought so [02:05] Severian, i thought you said pidgeon. thought you were teasing me [02:05] mram50: yes, same process as 9.04. Download, burn, run live, install... [02:05] Pixels: if there were a system that was 100% free of security issues, we'd all be using it by now [02:05] Pixels: most people don't use noscript because they think it provides them with more "security" [02:05] its an intel 82815 815 chipset [02:05] i major league screwed up my debian repos.. trhought I knew what i was doing.. :x [02:05] Pixels as long as we are forced to suport unsafe formats there will always be a slight risk [02:05] Pixels, Nope. I do that every once in a while. But Ppidgen is a nice program. It handles a bunch of IM formats. [02:06] Jack_Sparrow, so what can Ubuntu be infected with? virus, spyware, malware? [02:06] aleron6: that likely is not your graphics device [02:06] has addons for the IM formats it doesn't come with too [02:06] Severian, how do I add my picture to it? [02:06] anyone know of a way to find a device's /dev path without using fdisk or anything, i don't have it available on this boot disc [02:06] Pixels: all of the above, because there is no clear-cut line between them anyway [02:06] mram50: it's pretty foolproof in Ubuntu... :-) [02:06] i need some help.

[02:12] I guess if my burner is screwed i can always go upload stuff to a server somewhere..do what i gotta do then redownload it like the old days of emailing everything to myself LOL [02:12] Bradj47: what's the path to the actual ftp "mountpoint"? [02:12] BeatlesFan: no [02:12] Bradj47: as in, what appears in your location bar? [02:12] Jack_Sparrow, so I can add a user and be confident that whatevr he does wont infect or affect my user admin account? [02:12] mram50: there's an option to download an iso and boot directly from it, as I understand... [02:13] BeatlesFan the 6600 are very popular, I doubt they would drop support for them [02:13] Pixels YEs. [02:13] Pixels: yes [02:13] harpreet, so if I install an geforce 6200 or 6600 in my PC I'll be ok for the foreseeable future? [02:13] Haraken, ty [02:13] BeatlesFan I hope so , I have several in use now [02:13] Jack_Sparrow, thanks ;) [02:13] Pixels, np [02:13] np [02:13] makes sense.. if it can be run from a cd tray i don't see why it can't boot from... wait a sec.. this i need to think over LOL [02:13] raylu: [02:13] xD [02:14] BeatlesFan: i just built a computer , one minute ago with 6600, if the card doesnt work you can always load a driver or edit xorg.conf [02:14] !iso [02:14] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [02:14] Jack_Sparrow: becuase I want to upgrade from my on-board graphics and I only have PCI slots.. not even PCI-e [02:14] or AGP [02:14] so whats there to do in linux [02:14] lol [02:14] raylu: the file browser lags tremendously when i try to open it hold on [02:14] BeatlesFan the 6600 pic or any agp pci-e should be fine [02:14] BeatlesFan, I can forsee a future when that card will no longer be supported. It is post-singularity and 30 years or more away. [02:15] hello all. would anyone know how to turn force pidgin not to show who is joining and leaving irc channels? [02:15] jack_sparrow, unless I install a new MB I can only do PCI [02:15] anybody using a xhd 2560x1600 monitor ?, i'm thinking about getting one but wonder how ubuntu will look in it [02:15] BeatlesFan I have full STABLE compiz effects with the 6600 as well [02:15] ehh.. what the heck.. I'm a professional dumpster diver. I have about 20 old boxes laying about ..I'm sure several have used CD burners in them.. I just have to get ambitious and dig one out. [02:15] how i can save the password i always have to set in my gmail widget so i dont miss my e-mails when it gets removed after each login? [02:15] Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks for the input [02:15] xcerca: horrible, with it's bloody orange crap [02:15] np [02:16] raylu: ftp as bradj47@bradj47.k-disk.net on bradj47.k-disk.net [02:16] i put in my office 2007 cd and the program wont start in ubuntu [02:16] why not??? [02:16] mram50, you make a living at that? [02:16] Bradj47: is there a pencil/paper icon to the left of that? [02:16] okaygo: lol [02:16] okaygo: its not windows [02:16] mram50: they're dirt cheap. $23 from newegg when on sale... [02:16] okaygo It is a windows application for one [02:16] okaygo: lol [02:16] raylu ... so , change the theme then ? [02:16] arrrg i cant find anything on mozilla.com about my flash problem [02:16] raylu: no, it's a directory icon with what looks like a pipe going into it [02:16] i though ubuntu was a windows program????????? [02:16] okaygo: use open office for free(dom) [02:16] how i can save the password i always have to set in my gmail widget so i dont miss my e-mails when it gets removed after each login? [02:17] okaygo Not even remotely a windows program [02:17] okaygo: ubuntu is not a windows program , it is a better operating system than windows in every aspect [02:17] okaygo ---> www.ubuntu.com [02:17] i've been using a higher resolution on my machine and now if i try to use 1024x768 the display is to large for the screen. the login screen is the same. this happened after logging out. how do fix this? [02:17] oh yeah I do.. I sell scrap metal usually and whatever appliances run i resell them too.. sold a fridge, a stove,washing machine and a dishwasher last week plus about $300 worth of metal [02:17] xcerca: indeed. [02:17] mram50: very cool, but off topic :-) [02:17] mram50 Good for you. [02:18] Bradj47: i've never used the feature you're talking about, so i'm not really familiar with it. if you don't mind restarting X, "sudo invoke-rc.d dbus restart" as i said earlier [02:18] Bradj47: that's the only thing i can think of [02:18] sudo make sandwich [02:18] raylu: ok, i'll try that [02:18] okaygo Please stop [02:18] you have to be willing to get dirty and talk to mainenence people at apartment complexes, but yeah..the money's out there ;).. Yeah, a bit off topic LOL [02:18] okaygo: !language [02:18] okaygo, an xkcd fan.

[02:20] are there any missing applications/codecs in ubuntu64 compared to ubuntu32, or can I go stright to 64bits ? [02:20] unetbootin? [02:20] It's a program for making bootable USB. [02:20] XPlatform too. [02:20] leagris: everything is there, but somethings don't work as well. flash and wine come to mind [02:20] !bug [02:20] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » If that fails, you can report bugs manually at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [02:21] leagris Try sticking to 32 until you get your feet wet [02:21] cool.

[02:21] I just realized i have a removable HD too.. forgot about that.. it's locked in, but i can rig it out of there [02:21] thanks though [02:21] will try the other advice. [02:21] Thanks everyone [02:21] Is there a way to get an equalizer for alsa? [02:21] mram50: best of luck... [02:21] i wonder if I could download it there and boot from it as a slave.. hmmm.. [02:21] Lyth You can ask in /join #alsa [02:21] raylu, is wine not working at all ? [02:21] what is the best way to search the bug reporting area to see if my bug has been reported yet? [02:22] i removed quite and splash and it hangs out right after the boot, it hangs for a few secs with just the mouse in the middle of the screen then desktop appears, gnome as desktop [02:22] hello. I have a system using 8.04 LTS and want to upgrade it to 8.10 then 9.04. all the guides say to use either do-release-upgrade or the System > Administration > System Upgrade. neither of these exist. I have installed update-manager-core. [02:22] leagris: i had showstopping issues with some "platinum" apps [02:22] mram50: if unetbootin works, you shoudl be able to just fine... [02:22] thanks losher.. cya later.. getting hot in here so out to the ol garage and yank out some parts. ;) [02:22] I need an equalizer to use with ubuntu. [02:22] Samus_Aran Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [02:22] What do you mean by 'persistent' skippy? [02:22] sica: that sounds like a login issue, not a boot issue [02:22] okaygo: i think he wants his changes to be saved on the drive [02:23] i'm using ubuntu 8.04 amd64 and my flash plugin sux. can anyone use the uploader on megaupload? [02:23] pidgin doesnt support webcam in MSN :( any alternative? [02:23] okaygo Persistent is using a livecd and your changes stay on the usb etc [02:23] automatic login raylu [02:23] Pixels [02:23] So, theres no way to do this without redoing my entrie sound system? [02:23] xcerca [02:23] you can use aMSN [02:23] If the media is R/W then shouldn't you be able to install a distro on a USB. [02:23] raylu, I'm getting a 6Gb ram PC with I7 CPU next week and have not decided uppon using a bigmem kernel or a real 64bit one [02:23] sica: right. but quiet and splash have nothing to do with that [02:23] xcerca: cool bananas, ty [02:23] zombie-robot 8.04 has reached eol and is no longer supported, please try a newer version [02:23] and also that wasn't hangin there a couple of days ago [02:23] Jack_Sparrow: I know how ot upgrade undeer normal circumstances. I simply don't have an upgrade app available on command line or GUI [02:23] leagris: what apps do you depend on? [02:23] !upgrade [02:23] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [02:23] Samus_Aran, Open up Synaptic. Go to Settings/Repositories/Update Set Release upgrade to normal releases and then run updates manager. [02:23] leagris: i've been using 64-bit, dualboot, and i've had no showstoppers overall [02:23] raylu, World Of Warcraft ^^ [02:24] leagris: for how much? [02:24] Samus_Aran Upgrading after EOL is NOT the same [02:24] raylu: it was just to check if it was after or during the boot [02:24] Jack_Sparrow: I thought 8.04 is on long term support [02:24] Samus_Aran Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [02:24] leagris: i actually feel that the issue has at least something to do with my intel mobile 4 express card than 64-bit [02:24] Hi everyone- I'm a Linux noob- just installed Ubuntu server 9.04- I need to setup a Raid 1 mirror, but the manual only has instructions for doing this during the install- is there anyway to do it after the install? Does anyone have instructions? [02:24] Severian: I don't *have* an update manager. that's the problem. I have set it to show normal releases [02:24] raylu: it's unmounted now [02:24] what 8.04 is still supported? [02:24] thanks === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:24] sica: if X starts, it's after boot [02:25] Jack_Sparrow: 8.04 LTS is not past end of life, so why are you telling me that ? [02:25] !lts | zombie-robot [02:25] zombie-robot: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [02:25] harpreet_, the all thing for about 1200€ [02:25] raylu: what can i do to fix? [02:25] What exactly is causing this? /sbin/ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth2 src 192.168.2.1 table 1 [02:25] Samus_Aran Thought you said gutsy [02:25] RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument [02:25] <_polto__> hey guys, anyone running Ubuntu 9.04 on EeeBox B202 ? I have a really big CPU load and I do not understand why. X11 consume 30% CPU without showing any single window. If I do ping flooding on my LAN it use almost 100% of CPU [02:25] Samus_Aran, If you go to the System Menus/Administration/ do you see update manager? [02:25] sica: you could try moving your .gnome, .gnome2, or .gconf directories, but i'm not really sure [02:25] yea no Sh** [02:25] its still supported [02:26] zombie-robot Lose the rude shorthand [02:26] leagris: i built one today for $550 US, 4gb ram, nvidia 8400, gigabyte mobo, phenomX3, dvdrw [02:26] srry [02:26] <_polto__> I do not think EeeBox B202 is so cheap and unpowerfull, I'dd like to get more from it. [02:26] !eee [02:26] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [02:26] leagris: monitor, keyboard, mouse, included [02:26] sica: you could try moving your .gnome, .gnome2, or .gconf directories, but i'm not really sure ← anyone have a clue (slow x start) [02:26] Jack_Sparrow: /etc/*rel* says Ubuntu 8.04.02 Hardy [02:27] Severian: no, as I said in my first line after joining. [02:27] <_polto__> thanks [02:27] Samus_Aran YEs, Hardy is supported [02:28] harpreet_, went DDR3, gigabyte MB, Nvidia 260, Coolermaster power bloc and case [02:28] Samus_Aran, how about /usr/bin/update-manager [02:28] !ot [02:28] Samus_Aran: sudo aptitude install update-manager | grep State [02:28] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [02:28] Jack_Sparrow: so now how can I get either a GUI or command line upgrade app ? [02:28] Samus_Aran: sorty: sudo aptitude show update-manager | grep State [02:28] s/sorty/sorry/ [02:28] Samus_Aran PAstebin your sources list so we can have a look.. NOT in the channel ty [02:28] hi there, i have no wireless setup on my ubuntu 9.04 [02:28] Severian: no [02:28] so can anybody using hardy get the megaupload uploader to work? [02:28] reinstalling windows overwrote the MBR and so i need to reinstall grub. i burned a knoppix CD and am going to follow instructions from a website. the only question i have is how i can determine the root partition of the ubuntu install? [02:29] i just installed and the icon systray is turned off [02:29] fallore sudo fdisk -l will help [02:29] fallore, root partition will mount to "/" [02:29] i believe it needs to install something [02:29] fallore, look in gpart, you will see it [02:29] okay [02:29] Samus_Aran, then the sudo apt-get install update-manager is your next step. [02:30] BeatlesFan: that's not much help, he can't boot from it at the moment so partitions won't be mounted in the normal places [02:30] funkyHat: update-manager was not installed, installing it now. very stupid that all the guides say to install update-manager-core, which provides nothing, but not update-manager [02:30] Samus_Aran: update-manager is installed by default. [02:30] funkyHat gparted will show him what he needs [02:30] Samus_Aran: odd, saying to install update-manager-core is pretty stupid, as installing update-manager will install everything it needs [02:31] !mbr [02:31] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:31] Samus_Aran, update manager was installed by default. That is why the guides say to use it. You at some point deleted it. [02:31] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, I was a bit behind with my reply [02:31] will ext 4 slows down a PC? because I have this old PC I am going to install Xubuntu to, but I don't know if I shold use Ext4 [02:31] hey is there a way I can kill a ssh session thats hung from the client side? like i ssh somewhere.com, get disconnected from the internet so I know its hung, how can I kill it? [02:31] np [02:31] !mbr > fallore [02:31] !mbr | fallore [02:31] fallore: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:31] KyleK: there is a shortcut, but i don't remember it. can't you just close the terminal? [02:31] funkyHat: I would prefer to do the command line do-release-update, but it isn't available. I'd like to run the upgrade in GNU Screen. [02:31] Anyone know of a tutorial on setting up RAID1 on an already installed and running server? [02:32] raylu: i'd prefer to kill it, press up and then enter to reconnect ;) [02:32] Samus_Aran: install do-release-update is part of update-manager-core [02:32] IamSOG, don't use ext4 on any important machine. It can become corrupted. [02:32] Severian: this isn't my system, and I didn't remove it. I can't imagine the system owner removing it, either. unless some app that was installed said it needed to remove it [02:32] raylu: I've been getting by with killall ssh [02:32] KyleK: it'll be in your .bash_history, so up will still work after restarting the terminal [02:32] oic, thanks Severian I guess ext4 is still pretty new :D [02:32] funkyHat: I have removed and reinstalled update-manager-core, and I do not have a command "do-release-update". [02:32] KyleK: and so will !sshj [02:32] KyleK: !ssh, sorry [02:32] true [02:33] Samus_Aran: try the full path /usr/bin/do-release-update [02:33] IamSOG, it is new and worth experimenting with. [02:33] funkyHat: already did, doesn't exist [02:33] Samus_Aran: sounds iffy :/ [02:33] funkyHat: and confirmed the $PATH contains /usr/bin and other expected directories [02:33] I see... thanks Severian [02:33] ensignavenger, i remember searching for the same info at one point - didn't really find how to do it after install, might just be easier to try the install again (what info i did find was pretty complicated for me as I hadn't delt with RAID under linux before) good luck. [02:33] KyleK: http://rwcduj.wordpress.com/2009/04/01/how-to-kill-frozen-ssh-sessions/ [02:34] Samus_Aran: you could just update your sources.list manually and then do an upgrade using aptitude [02:34] ohhhhh [02:34] enter squiggle dot [02:34] I was trying just squiggle dot [02:35] hi [02:35] Are the netboot images/files signed? [02:35] funkyHat: I just used Synaptic to check if /usr/bin/do-release-update is installed, and it says it is ... bah [02:35] is there a way to search bug reports on launchpad? [02:35] can anybody using hardy get the megaupload uploader to work? [02:35] anyone knows how install cedega?? [02:35] alright, i'm back on knoppix this time, would someone mind giving me the command to see my partitions with terminal (or another method to do so?) [02:36] Samus_Aran: err, it's do-release-upgrade sorry [02:36] fallore, fdisk /dev/sda and then p [02:36] funkyHat: problem solved. yeah, that. sorry... should have used tab-completion on do-TAB TAB to fill it in [02:36] ZykoticK9 The problem is that it takes a long time to transfer the data back after doing an install- and the server needs to be up as much as possible. [02:36] raylu: thanks, thats been plauging me for the past month [02:36] luis_: /join #cedega [02:36] Samus_Aran: :) [02:36] thanks Severian [02:37] funkyHat: I was speaking across the room to the system owner who was typing in the commands ... not sure if they got it wrong, or if I did [02:37] Samus_Aran: I said do-release-update at one point [02:38] fallore: hey sexi. [02:38] KyleK: by "squiggle" I assume you mean tilde ? [02:38] funkyHat: ah. but I was obviously doing it even before joining here as well, heh [02:38] funkyHat: thanks for your assistance [02:39] Samus_Aran: true :). and no problem [02:39] anyone know of Zune support for ubuntu w/o using Wine? [02:39] Severian, tritium, Jack_Sparrow as well [02:39] cheers, night [02:39] i need help following these intructions: determine the root partition of your linux system, then mount it "dev" option enabled, with write permissions. If the filesystem isn't mounted you'll need to mount it like this (be sure to change "hda1" and "hda" to match the root location/device in your own system): sudo mount -o dev,rw /mnt/hda1 [02:39] geofft: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/MD5SUMS [02:39] geofft: wait, netboot? where? [02:40] just ordered the geforce 6200 512MB PCI card...to replace my onboard intel graphics... [02:40] BeatlesFan, ok cool [02:40] BeatlesFan: a wise decision [02:40] BeatlesFan, what happened to the 7600?? :) [02:40] coz, no AGP!!! :( [02:40] losher: ~ squiggle, i thought ` was a tilde [02:41] BeatlesFan, oh darn [02:41] losher: like Kosher? [02:41] coz_: yeah, I have to replace my MB [02:41] BeatlesFan, well as I said before that series of card should be supported for at least another year and a half [02:41] coz_: I had to return the 7600 back to tigerdirect [02:41] JoshuaP0x, I am pretty sure there is no such thing. I have a friend who won a Zune at a MS event and he has not been able to use it to this day. [02:41] BeatlesFan, oh man it wasnt agp? [02:42] Why do Debian (Exim) and Ubuntu (Postfix) use different default MTAs? [02:42] coz_: becuase my mb spec says there's an AGP but when you open the case and actually look at the board - no AGP slot!! [02:42] JoshuaP0x: no, losher like nosher/posher. JoshuaP0x like chicken-pox ? [02:42] raylu: I am looking at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ [02:42] BeatlesFan, oh no what slot is it? [02:42] coz_: it's empty [02:42] coz_: I have 3 PCI and thats it [02:42] Severian: That stinks. :o( [02:42] BeatlesFan, oh man well with the 512 megs it may be just fine [02:43] losher: yes. [02:43] KyleK: ~ is tilde, ` is a backtick [02:43] BeatlesFan, you could order another motherboard with agp they are cheap one the will house your cpu [02:43] raylu: oh, duh, one directory up has the md5sums. never mind. [02:43] coz_: right I know [02:43] well, wait, that's not signed. that doesn't help. [02:43] * losher thinks screen names are a fascinating little art-form [02:44] BeatlesFan, when you install it let me know I want to know how it performs for you :) [02:44] everybody,how can i install vidalia .0.1.12? [02:44] fallore: you still needing help? [02:44] Can someone help me, I'm having problems with my pulseaudio setup. [02:44] geofft: 54f93db03a5b13698abb5b4532a24a3e ./netboot/netboot.tar.gz [02:44] coz_: ok... [02:44] hclhdj, what is vidalia ...while I google :) [02:45] raylu: yeah, I see that, but that's not signed. that's just an md5sum [02:45] geofft: oh, signed [02:45] geofft: heh, i'm a step behind today [02:45] hclhdj, did you download the source tar ball? [02:45] coz_: i see the "install" file ,but .. [02:45] coz_: yes, i download [02:45] geofft: you could mention it to #ubuntu-dev [02:46] hclhdj, ok open a terminal and cd to the location of that extracted pacakge and then cd into it [02:46] geofft: raylu: signed is kinda overkill. md5sum is quite adequate for most purposes... [02:46] is there a safe way to remove evolution? [02:46] Does anyone know where I could find the documentation for the linux 64bit system calls? [02:46] coz_: i make the dir "mkdir buil" [02:46] hclhdj, then in terminal type mkdir build && cd build [02:46] coz_: i make the dir "mkdir build" [02:47] hclhdj, yes then cd build [02:47] coz_: ok [02:47] hclhdj, then type cmake .. [02:47] zaccour: it is reasonably safe to uninstall evolution as long as you install ubuntu-desktop again before you upgrade to a new release (which will restore evolution) [02:47] hclhdj, remember the two dots though [02:47] hclhdj, this is coded in C++ [02:47] hclhdj, so cmake .. [02:47] coz_: wait [02:47] Stressing pulseaudio by playing almost any type of sound for a period of time will crash and anything I play from then on will hang and skip. Oddly enough, it also seems to kill my internet connection with it. Yet wicd stills shows it is connected. The only way I can to find to fix it is to restart my system. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it. [02:47] crdlb: thats a good idea, this way he will get newest packages [02:48] coz_: no "cmake"......... [02:48] Loganhoup: you probably want to ask in #pulseaudio they're the devs [02:48] Loganhoup: it is intel based system , right? [02:48] hclhdj, sudo apt-get install cmake [02:48] harpreet: no [02:48] harpreet: It's an ATI chipset [02:49] Loganhoup: 9.04 ? [02:49] coz_: then i setup cmake [02:49] losher: yes [02:49] losher: yes i still need help [02:49] hclhdj, then run cmake .. [02:49] logankoester: atis are hard in linux, anytime i make a system i make sure i dont see ati on mobo, [02:49] Loganhoup: 9.04 is notorious for sound problems. Start googling... [02:49] coz_, hclhdj wouldn't installing build-essential have all the required tools he needs? [02:50] bastid_raZor, all but cmake [02:50] hclhdj, then run make [02:50] How does Loganhoup's graphics chipset effect his pulseaudio setup? [02:50] coz_, ah, didn't know that it did not include cmake [02:50] hclhdj, if you want to install this then run sudo make install [02:50] fallore: Remind me: You lost your boot block after installing windows after Ubuntu & wanted to restore it using Knoppix live ? [02:50] losher: I have and I have posted in the perfect setup thread on the ubuntu forums. I have received no help from google. Do not assume I have not researched this before asking here. [02:50] losher: yes [02:51] bastid_raZor, also it wont include QT or qmake [02:51] fallore: just stick your forehead into your PC. [02:51] coz_: Qt qmake not found! [02:51] hclhdj, yeah hold on [02:51] hi. i used to have a resolution 1024x768 and above. now i have 800x600 and that is all that is given to me as a choice. is there a way to fix this ? [02:51] fallore: or is it a fivehead. [02:51] :[ [02:51] coz_: errors [02:51] ubuntu sucks hard [02:51] hclhdj, hold on trying here [02:52] Loganhoup: have you tried in #pulseaudio? They'll walk you through getting the data they need to help either fix your problem immediately or in a leter version of pulse... [02:52] coz_: :( [02:52] GimliGlider: whats wrong [02:52] Loganhoup: I;ve lost count of the number of people on here with 9.04 sound problems since it came out. No one solution seems to fix them all. I know there are a bazillion pages about things to try. One of them may work for you, or it may not... [02:52] ubuntu is great no virus's [02:52] harpreet_ what's wrong is it doesn't make money [02:52] fallore: do you not have a ubuntu live cd? It would be much easier... [02:52] shut up noob [02:52] GimliGlider: it does make money [02:52] hclhdj, on element would be sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake [02:52] no it doens't u idiot [02:52] losher: most problems are in part due to ubuntu using pulse but not installing paman by default... [02:53] it's funded by mark shuttleworth alone [02:53] GimliGlider: how? [02:53] coz_: wati me. [02:53] boss_mc: meet Loganhoup .... [02:53] GimliGlider: it does make money [02:53] losher: and sound being piped to weird places etc [02:53] * eseven73 smells a troll [02:53] losher: true.... [02:53] harpreet_ do you have harpees? [02:53] coz_: i install qt now === ring1 is now known as ring0 [02:53] i don't think so, losher. would it matter if the version was lower than my current install? [02:54] !language | Gimliglider [02:54] Gimliglider: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:54] fallore: I don't think so, but if you've already booted knoppix I'm game to try if you are... [02:54] of course i am. i also have a website i can show you that has what i assume are working directions, i just need help deciphering one part. [02:55] fallore: ok, what's the url you're using? [02:55] coz_: also error----when i run "cmake.."--"Could NOT find QtGlobal header" [02:55] i'm using tightvnc and the mouse cursor moves to the lower right corner of the tightvnc viewer.. there a way to fix this?(guest is ubuntu) [02:55] fallore: what is your wesite [02:55] hclhdj, hold on guy I am trying to reconcile the depedencies :) [02:55] If I have a RAID1 partition with XP on it, how could I resize the partition to install ubuntu next to it? [02:55] coz_: ok,i wait you.:) [02:56] Is it possible to create a user session under ubuntu 8.10, where this user can only run two specific applications? [02:56] coz_::) [02:56] harpreet_: losher: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/52062-reinstalling-windows-removes-grub.html [02:56] is it as simple as resising the mirrors as well...? [02:56] hclhdj, one is sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev [02:57] fallore: ok. does 'df -h' show a disk is mounted? [02:57] losher, "whatis df" [02:57] losher, the mount command shows mountpoints mounted [02:58] Hi, I'm trying to install mysql-server on ubuntu 8.04. I'm unable to start it and I'm not sure why. Syslog gives me http://pastebin.com/m6770217f [02:58] hclhdj, ok yeah sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev should take care of all dependencies [02:58] bpun: either should work ok [02:58] losher: /dev/hdd seems to be the only thing that looks like a mounted disk, though there are ~10 entries [02:58] hclhdj, once you install those run cmake .. [02:58] losher, df doesn't show the mountpoints [02:58] hclhdj, then make [02:58] hclhdj, then sudo make install [02:58] losher, no. [02:59] care to suggest an alternative, bpun? [02:59] coz_: yes! thank you,i test it [02:59] bpun: my df shows mount points... [02:59] losher: bpun: fdisk /dev/sda and then p was suggested to me earlier [02:59] now I have to figure out what this vidalia is other than an onion :) [02:59] fallore, ah.. well i have no idea who's asking what.. df has nothing to do with mountpoints [03:00] whats the difference between ubuntu-desktop and gnome-desktop? [03:00] heh [03:00] i want to connect to my uncles ubuntu desktop from my ubuntu desktop. whats the easiest server-side setup for this? [03:00] well, bpun, i'm trying to do this: determine the root partition of your linux system, then mount it "dev" option enabled, with write permissions. If the filesystem isn't mounted you'll need to mount it like this (be sure to change "hda1" and "hda" to match the root location/device in your own system): [03:00] zaccour, ubuntu uses gnome as its default desktop [03:00] zaccour, (gdm service runs) [03:01] zaccour, gdm is the login default.. [03:01] fallore: if your disks are named /dev/hd then you'll need instead: fdisk -l /dev/hda [03:01] !ssh > tesseracter [03:01] tesseracter, please see my private message [03:01] bpun but they look different, is ubuntu desktop just a modified gnome? [03:01] zaccour, (gdm compares to kdm.. but who cares.. gnome the default desktop is available on ubuntu) [03:01] does anyone know of a way i can run a script like.. "./scan blahhblahblah" and have the script scan whatever is in the scanner and save the file as blahblahblah.jpg ??? [03:01] zaccour, i guess all distros tweak the default loading applets that load on the taskbar.. [03:01] losher: that command doesn't do anything (afaik) [03:02] bpun oh ok thanks === centaur5_ is now known as centaur5 [03:02] bpun: fallore: well, we can't both drive. Fallore, please choose a helper. I don't mind which [03:02] bastid_raZor, i want the desktop, not command line--i need to show him how to do stuff. i can use ssh to get that stuff ready, i suppose. [03:02] zaccour, the default browser should be nautilus.. if u click about on the file manager menu.. [03:02] hclhdj, here is an ubuntu how to other than actually doing what we did http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/03/howto-setup-vidalia-tor-gui-with-ubuntu.html [03:02] bpun whats nautilus? [03:02] hclhdj, by the way cmake is going to take a bit of time to complete [03:03] zaccour, if its konqueror..(clicking on a home icon frmo the desktop, or clicking home from somewhere in a start menu--) then its kde [03:03] zaccour, name for the local file browser.. [03:03] losher: i'd like you to help as long as you don't mind. i was just trying to explain to him what we were doing. [03:03] zaccour, like konqueror is for the kde desktop [03:03] coz_: i go to see you give me the site [03:03] zaccour, konqueror or nautilus >> windows_explorer [03:03] hclhdj, that is an old site [03:03] tesseracter, vnc may be something to look in to. not sure if you will both see the same desktop at the same time [03:03] hclhdj, I just noticed that so it may be out of date [03:04] coz_: can't going to....... [03:04] fallore: ok. first we need to find out what disks knoppix thinks you have. Try 'dmesg | egrep hd' and see what it says [03:04] ay [03:04] hclhdj, did you do make install yet? [03:04] just figured out how to get irc working [03:04] only took me 20mins! [03:04] hclhdj, and which version of vidalia do you have there? [03:04] coz_: i think i should setuo all the qt4 [03:05] hey does anyone know how i can store my gmail widget's login and pass in keyrings? [03:05] hclhdj, hold on let me check something [03:05] losher: http://pastebin.com/d4e03005b [03:05] I some how deleted my desktop directory. How do I make a new one? Its got files from ~/ loaded all over my desktop. [03:05] how do you see the userlist [03:05] hclhdj, guess what? [03:05] im on xchat-gnome [03:05] tesseracter, if you read up on the ssh page you'll see X forwarding. not sure if that'll show you both the same desktop either.. i'm assuming that is what you want. something you can control his desktop remotely while he watches [03:05] hclhdj, sudo apt-get install vidalia [03:05] h4mx0r, cd to home a mkdir "Desktop" [03:06] hclhdj, and you are done [03:06] bpun: I did that but its not accepting it [03:06] nvm, figured it out [03:06] hclhdj, delte the source tarball [03:06] hclhdj, and just do sudo apt-get install vidalia [03:06] h4mx0r, have you logged out and back in? [03:06] fallore: I only see the CD drive. Try 'dmesg | more' and look for something that looks like a hard drive... [03:06] h4mx0r: you'll need to update ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [03:06] bpun: geofft will try [03:06] h4mx0r, dunno.. logout then in ? [03:06] what ubuntu does when it says a NOTICE at startup UNCLEAN SHUTDOWN ? [03:07] h4mx0r, if it still fails.. try using gconfedit or sommthing [03:07] nothing, losher. would a live cd necessarily show those things? [03:07] jrib: that directory doesn't exist so gonna try relogging [03:07] Gourlis, it does a fsck ? [03:07] h4mx0r, the desktop window will use ~/Desktop if it existed when it started, otherwise ~ [03:07] Gourlis: that means you shut it down without proper procedure [03:07] bpun, what's fsck ? [03:08] Gourlis, filesystem check [03:08] fallore: yes, when it boots, it probes all the devices. There should be an entry that shows it saw your hard drive [03:08] oh [03:08] coz_: ok , i test it [03:08] hclhdj, but you still have to install Tor [03:08] logging out then back in did solve the problem, thanks [03:08] harpreet or bpun, how can I do once in a month a full system scan to fix it's problems ? [03:08] Gourlis, ya should get a ups if ur power went out... [03:08] losher: sd 5:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk something like that? [03:08] why does /var/log/lastlog report itself as 195G? [03:08] Gourlis, i no expert.. but i never had to.. [03:09] bpun, thanks for ur help anyway! [03:09] fallore: yes, that looks more like it. It's a removable disk? [03:09] Gourlis, it's when ur system loses power and the OS didn't flush all the final changes.. [03:09] haven't received an update for about 2 weeks now [03:09] bpun, ok dude something else.. [03:09] dft: It's a sparse file. Each person's login is recorded at their uid times some offset into the file [03:09] that might be an actual removable disk, like my card reader or something losher. lemme look around [03:09] anyone else noticed the same? [03:09] coz_: i have install tor.......but only tor ,work is so bad,always can't go to the site [03:09] dft: It doesn't actually take up that much space on disk (as you probably assumed) [03:09] hclhdj, ok [03:09] geofft: I noticed [03:10] bpun, when my ubuntu doesn't response, I can do anything like Ctrl + ALt + Del like in Windows ? [03:10] Gourlis, maybe its the keyboard map.. [03:10] !sysrq | Gourlis [03:10] Gourlis: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B.

[03:19] ZykoticK9: if I recall correctly [03:19] what to do with quarentined viruses [03:19] seth, the kubuntu package is and ubuntu package is for brasero [03:20] losher: mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/root': Permission denied [03:20] @bastid_raZor So once I download those, I should just use Brasero? [03:20] fallore: type: sudo mkdir /mnt/root [03:20] i did, losher, didn't output anything. [03:20] seth, you could use either one. it is a choice of preference. [03:20] fallore: good, no output means it worked :-) [03:20] does anyone know if the ies4linux Internet Explorer 6 on Ubuntu is able to display PNG images at all? I can't seem to see any PNG images when I use it [03:20] jrib, thanks that's was it [03:21] the main cause of viruses in windows is the userbase of windows [03:21] Why would this: /sbin/ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 table 1 dev eth2 src 192.168.2.1 give me RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument? [03:21] ZykoticK9: no problem [03:21] if we convert the windows userbase to linux [03:21] @bastid_raZor Oh. Ok. Well, I haven't had any luck trying to use k3b. So I'll give Brasero a try [03:21] fallore: sudo mount -o dev,rw /dev/sda6 /mnt/root [03:21] and if not, is IE6 able to display PNG images on windows (even if it has alpha transparency problems) ?

[03:23] scunizi: why not? [03:23] allymarie: or did I come in late and miss something? [03:23] seth, you can use any program that kubuntu has in ubuntu.. no worries. everyone has to learn at some point :) [03:23] my usplash disappears just before the loads begins (just after the pulsing ends) and goes to text mode, does anyone knows how to fix this ? [03:24] allymarie: because spybot is a program for windows, and this is a channel for ubuntu (linux). [03:24] scunizi: i have 5 viruses quarentined and need to know how to get rid of them for good...and would like spybot for backup [03:24] fallore: ok,. now try 'sudo chroot /mnt/root bash' [03:24] allymarie: quarentined in windows right? [03:24] @bastid_raZor Oh, alright. Yeah, I appreciate you sticking with me :). I have the configuration thing. What should I be looking for in the list? [03:24] scunizi: in clam tk [03:24] allymarie: what does this have to do with ubuntu? [03:24] o [03:24] hi am a new user and i need help [03:24] allymarie: never mind [03:24] i'm pretty sure it worked, losher [03:24] allymarie: on a windows partition? [03:25] no [03:25] foolz, using google, I see some css patches that purport to fix png support for IE6. For example, http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/ [03:25] fallore: do another 'ls -l' and paste the result [03:25] allymarie: from running wine? [03:25] seth,plugins.. if all those are installed then you're good to go. burning cd's to play in a car will work [03:25] losher: http://pastebin.com/d6c1b1870 [03:25] @bastid_raZor I have the k3b external audio encoder. That seems like it'd be the right thing [03:25] scunizi: i have nothing windows on this thing...it's all linux [03:26] fallore: perfect. Now the big moment, type: grub [03:26] losher: worked :D [03:26] my usplash disappears just before the loads begins (just after the pulsing ends) and goes to text mode, does anyone knows how to fix this ? [03:26] allymarie: If clam has quarentined them from something.. then they are on the HD.. find where clam put them and simply delete.. they won't hurt your system anyway. [03:26] allymarie: do you have the names of the virus files? [03:26] fallore: now type: find /boot/grub/stage1 [03:26] scunizi:find them thru the tags? [03:26] losher: Error 15: File not found [03:27] allymarie: check the clam info or config and find out where it puts files it finds.. [03:27] fallore: ok, please wait while I check my notes [03:29] joining [03:29] Why would this: /sbin/ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 table 1 dev eth2 src 192.168.2.1 give me RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument? [03:30] fallore: are you looking at a grub prompt like this one 'grub> " [03:30] yes, losher [03:30] scunizi:i deleted them from my trash bin too...still sitting in qarentine [03:30] anyone know how to get the thumb buttons on the mouse for forward & backward working in nautilus? [03:30] fallore: try it again just to be sure: find /boot/grub/stage1 [03:31] tanath- google inwheel...and its in synaptic [03:31] same thing, losher [03:31] imwheel [03:31] fallore: bummer. Not supposed to happen. Ok. let's try it the knoppix guide way. Type exit to get out of grub [03:31] Xcell, hrm, used to have that... they work in firefox & other things though now. thought i could do without. [03:32] script problem with sudo and redirection "sudo echo "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner" >> /etc/apt/sources.list" gives an error due to the >> I thought tee was the program to use instead but doesn't seem to be working.

[03:32] allymarie: you might search www.ubuntuforums.org.. there seems to be lots of references there for clam.. It's not a program that I use at all. [03:32] done losher [03:32] i have a logitech lx7 [03:32] !clam [03:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about clam [03:32] leaving [03:32] scunizi: thanks for giving me a place to start :) [03:32] ZykoticK9: are you doing echo | sudo tee -a, or sudo echo | tee -a? [03:33] I've been looking into Multi-Pointer X and would like to get multiple mice running on one x-server. I know that X-Input 2.0 is coming out in 7 days, and MPX will be fully merged with XOrg with 1.7 in a few months, but is there any way to get multiple cursors with MPX up and running currently with any distros? [03:33] fallore: now try 'grub-install /dev/sda' [03:33] tanath: in the past i've gotten those buttons working by editing my xorg.conf. there are a bunch of guides on various forums that could be found with an easy google search :) [03:33] geofft, i was replacing the ">>" with "tee" not how it works? [03:34] ZykoticK9, no. You redirect output to tee with a pipe, and then you make tee privileged === voidmage-away is now known as voidmage [03:34] losher: /dev/sda: Not found or not a block device. [03:34] after a ubuntu update my screen resolution got changed, not sure how to get it back !

[03:34] fallore, same here, but with the past couple distros they 'just worked' (at least in things other than nautilus) [03:34] ZykoticK9, echo "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [03:34] blacklist pcspkr does not help [03:34] fallore: once more, but with hda instead i.e. 'grub-install /dev/hda' [03:34] corey_: do you have a support question? [03:34] same error message, losher [03:34] geofft, thanks :) [03:35] yea lick my ballz [03:35] scunizi: yes i do ! [03:35] tanath- the last version mine worked was 7.10....after that it stoped [03:35] tried to use /dev/dsp1 it worked, ln -s /dev/dsp1 /dev/dsp worked, for a short while [03:35] mudittuli: and did you install the driver that comes direct from nvidia or the one supplied by ubuntu? [03:35] then it makes noises from internal pc speaker, shit [03:35] Xcell, weird. what mouse? i have logitech mx500 [03:35] lx7 logitech [03:35] ZykoticK9, or better yet, create a file with the contents and sudo cp that-file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/partner.list :) [03:35] Hi, I'm trying to install mysql-server on ubuntu 8.04 with apt-get.

[03:36] can anyone help me?my ubuntu 8.10 no sound [03:36] fallore: ok, I think this is because knoppix uses different naming conventions for grub. I think I'm stuck at this point. Did you say you have a ubuntu live cd? [03:36] because of this stupid audio issue [03:36] hi everybody, i have a quick question on firestarter and that is: i have multiple network cards and when i disconnect one network card and use the other, the firewall also stops. is there a way to make the firewall stay active no matter which network card i'm using? [03:36] scunizi: I updated my machine >> the creen resolution got messed up >> Installed the nvidia driver >> still messed up [03:36] it worked well until two days ago [03:36] ah well, thanks [03:36] losher: i might somewhere, let me look [03:36] the screen* [03:37] mudittuli: again which driver? the one direct from nvidia that needs downloading or the one supplied by ubuntu? [03:37] losher: i have 7.10 :P will that work? [03:37] hi everyone [03:37] scunizi: I downloaded the driver from nvidia [03:37] fallore: it should work fine. Do you want to try booting it?

[03:38] I recently installed ubuntu on my HP DV7 1035em and the LFE ( subwoofer ) doesn't work ! [03:38] now scroll wheel is back & forward, and thum buttons don't work [03:38] do you know how can i fix this ?

[03:40] i don't know what imwheel is [03:41] do you guys have special mice? [03:41] its a mouse button controller [03:41] how many buttons on your mouse? [03:41] I've tried installing the packages libsexy and pythonsexy from 3 different mirrors and they all give errors with size mismatches. Is there something wrong with the repositories?

[03:42] put a cat behind them [03:42] i'm not sure if the xorg.conf edit will make a difference.. you could tell by running xev and scrolling down and up and seeing if the button attribute is 4 and 5 respectively.. I'm not sure about your special mouse cases.. but if Xorg has no problem recognizing the higher buttons on its own.. no extra software should be required [03:42] lol j/k [03:42] lube the wheel [03:42] hi losher :D [03:43] im running ubuntu virtually.. and the networking is working perfect right out of the box.. im wondering.. what can i type on the shell that would show me all the network interface stuff... ips/host names/dhcp/etc...

Open another terminal [03:46] mudittuli: you'd ctrl+alt+F2.. log in then .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop .. then.. cd to the directory where the install file is and .. sudo ./ .. after install .. sudo reboot now [03:46] losher: could this be because i have two hard drives? there is an edit and quote at the bottom of the post about this [03:46] scales11: user "echo zd1211rw | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" [03:46] scunizi: anything more ?

[03:47] losher: both "edits" look like they may have some relevance to my problem [03:47] hi, i have installed ubuntu 9.04 [03:47] congrats, edgar [03:47] but now i can't listen anysound, no music [03:47] fallore: well, we'll check again. In the new terminal, do 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' like last time [03:48] not sure why, the volume is ok and the system detect that sound card [03:48] help with this please === jfoshee is now known as JayFo [03:48] run alsamixer from a terminal and make sure pcm and volume are maxed [03:48] I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator.

[03:49] I've been trying to fix this for hours and I don't understand what the issue is [03:49] I tried re-ordering the variables to match the `ip route add help` syntax as closely as i can and it's still doing it [03:49] fallore: ok, sudo fsck /dev/sda6 [03:49] same output as last time, losher [03:49] is static during audio play back a known issue? I've tried two different sound cards, both get static, the speakers seem fine when I use ESD. [03:50] tanath: a stab in the dark here.. try looking at the gconf settings for nautilus to see if there is a way to bind a key or mouse button to an action [03:50] I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. Should I try manually creating? [03:50] fallore: good, now 'sudo mkdir /mnt/root' like last time [03:51] jI tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. [03:51] Should I try another way? [03:51] :) [03:51] fallore: and finally. mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/root [03:51] dignan, hrm, thanks but didn't find anything :-/ [03:52] you looked in gconf editor?

[03:53] fallore: ok, 'ls -l /mnt/root/boot/grub' & oaste [03:53] is there at least a way to bind key combos in nautilus to back and forward? [03:53] sorry didnt want to be rude =3 [03:53] i'm guessing imwheel si a program that translates mouse presses into key presses? [03:53] losher: http://pastebin.com/d4973692f [03:53] dignan, not that i saw [03:53] ok [03:53] dignan, something like that yeah [03:54] i stiil have no sound after chekc the alsamixer [03:54] fallore: that looks perfect. All the grub files are there, including stage1 [03:54] hello [03:54] I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. [03:54] so there's a hard coded key combo in nautilus for forward and backward [03:54] I don't have nautilus anymore.. I have thunar [03:54] I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. How do you manually set up? [03:54] but in any case. my ubuntu distro is about a year old and apparently didnt have libasound packaged into it. so i go to install Wine and it tells me its missing libasound [03:54] losher: do i have to use the hdd(x,y) bit then?

[03:55] or the second edit in that forum post, losher? [03:55] I tried the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPersistent with 9.04 using the USB Startup creator. It didn't work. Not persistent. How do you do it manually? [03:55] fallore: we'll get to that. Notice that there some extra steps in the guide for people who couldn't get grub to find the stage1 file? we're gonna try those... [03:55] alright [03:55] tanath: you might go into the gnome bugtraq and file a feature request for nautilus to do this [03:56] fallore: ok, we already have /mnt/root and /dev/sda6 is mounted. Now we need to add: sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/root/proc [03:56] how do i run ubuntu in windows [03:56] no output, losher [03:56] with a virtual machine [03:56] without booting [03:56] Can someone suggest the easiest way to install Java (for JRuby) on Ubuntu? [03:57] what else i can do? [03:57] fallore: perfect, and then sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/root/dev [03:57] dignan what image do i need to download i got alternate image downloaded [03:57] Edgar1: are you using headphones that aren't plugged directly into your soundcard? [03:57] prag: what are you trying to do? Run Ubuntu programs? Play with Ubuntu? [03:57] so nobody knows eh? [03:57] no i already got ubuntu dual booting [03:57] prag: you need the regular ix86-32 image.. I would assume [03:57] man [03:57] oh [03:58] you can boot your installation from within windows too [03:58] just tell vmware or virtualbox to use the partition [03:58] once again, losher, no output [03:58] fallore: good, now sudo chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash [03:58] dignan really [03:58] yes [03:58] wow, this is why i asked if anyone had a minute. asking did nothing [03:58] with vmware you can, i don't know about vbox.. odds are you can [03:58] fallore: then 'find /boot/grub/stage1' [03:58] Kana-nano: standard procedure is ask...wait...ask...wait...ask...wait... etc [03:59] so i am downloading vmware server console that is what i need right [03:59] i've never used server. i've only used workstation [03:59] <__mikem> dignan, even if you can't do it in virtualbox now, knowing those guys, its probably in the pipeline [03:59] i believe you have the stripped down free version that boots .vmx files [03:59] i'm not using headphones [03:59] i would get virtualbox [03:59] Edgar1: have you ran alsamixer yet?

[04:06] yeah, im completly familiar with the package managers [04:06] well if anyone's gotten Multi-pointer X to work any help would be appreciated :) [04:06] what can i do in my case? [04:07] Kana-nano, Ok, stop me again if I'm telling you something you already know [04:07] hi guys I need some help on getting horde/imp to show up on my server I used the command line to install it by apt-get install imp4 [04:07] To get wine just get it from the repos! [04:07] ok well, i guess its only fair if i state ive taken a linux class too [04:07] so odds are, ill probably know the more basic things [04:07] ubotu: how do i ask you questions, what is the format? [04:07] Kana-nano, lucky [04:07] expensive too [04:07] oic [04:07] but go ahead [04:07] n00b871: simply ask what you think is your best attempt at formulating your question [04:07] scunizi: i tried that !, but the nvidia-setting is not running, even after nvidia-xcofig from the command line [04:08] thats the problem, Wine refuses to install [04:08] If you run the command sudo apt-get install wine [04:08] ? [04:08] What happens? [04:08] fallore: damn. I'm afraid I'm stuck then. The best I can offer at this stage is for you to keep reading that thread and try some of the different suggestions [04:08] the Add/Remove packager states i should use synaptic to install Wine [04:08] mudittuli: and nvidia-xconfig didn't do anything? did your update include a kernel upgrade? [04:08] Synaptic states i need libasound [04:08] Kana-nano, did you? [04:08] ok... [04:08] fallore: so do i type in uobotu !myquestion ?what do i type in to get a response ,, sorry i am a n00b [04:09] libasound says "dependency is not satisfiable" [04:09] scunizi: yes it did [04:09] n00b871, Just type the question and people will answer [04:09] bandung [04:09] bandung [04:09] Kana-nano, ok, because Wine is in the repos all of it's dependencies should all be in the repos. You should not need to download a package from the internet like you did (that's windows like) [04:10] that was my first thought too. hence why im lost atm [04:10] ahh nice, ok i got it who likes salivadore dali paintings? [04:10] i could CnP the exact wording of the errors if you think that might help [04:10] Kana-nano, search synaptic for "libasound" or whatever it is [04:11] ok 1 sec [04:11] scunizi: the update didn't found a pre-compiled kernel, so it compiled one by itself ! [04:11] Kana-nano, That isn't necessary I get the idea [04:11] n00b871: Please keep your questions on topic. This is a support channel. If you're looking for chat, try #ubuntu-offtopic [04:11] n00b871, I do? What does this have to do with ubuntu? [04:12] thanks for all your help, losher [04:12] mudittuli: usually with a kernel upgrade a reinstall is necessary when using nvidia's driver. Obviously something else is going on. You might paruse the ubuntuforums.org and nvidia's linux forum. by pre-complied kernel, that happened when installing the nvidia driver? or during the update? [04:12] ... it says its installed [04:12] green box [04:12] i apologize, that must be off topic [04:12] hi guys I need some help on getting horde/imp to show up on my server I used the command line to install it by apt-get install imp4 [04:12] Kana-nano, libasound is installed? [04:12] yes [04:12] scunizi: and when i run nvidia-xconfig, a new xconfig file is written nothing more ! [04:12] so claims synaptic [04:12] Kana-nano, But when you mark wine for installation what happens? [04:12] lol [04:12] fallore: sorry it didn't solve your problem. I think we're close though, for what it's worth... :-( [04:12] so claims... [04:12] arrogant synaptic [04:12] on synaptic? [04:12] ed_debian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:12] it gives me this: [04:12] sorry FloodBot2 :( [04:13] scunizi: that happen during nvidia [04:13] The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled int he preferences [04:13] scunizi: that happen during installing nvidia driver * [04:13] losher: i got it ;) interested in the solution? :) [04:13] wine: [04:13] Depends: libasound2 (>1.0.18) but 1.0.15-3ubuntu4 is to be installed [04:13] fallore: definitely. Please tell... [04:13] hi everybody, i have a quick question on firestarter and that is: i have multiple network cards and when i disconnect one network card and use the other, the firewall also stops. is there a way to make the firewall stay active no matter which network card i'm using? [04:13] ok so my main HD is encrypted with the Ubuntu filesystem encryption. I just added another HD. Is there a way to encrypt that also and link it to the main encryption or do I need to use a program like truecrypt? [04:13] Kana-nano, Hit the reload button? [04:14] oh i have, 20 times [04:14] is there some kind of apt "meta package" that installs only security updates on an ubuntu server (9.04)? [04:14] go to system -> preferences -> software sources [04:14] losher: we forgot to chroot :P [04:14] mudittuli: that's normal for the nvidia driver when installing the one direct from nvidia.. it needs to make a kernel mod. so I take it you've already install "build-essential" previously? [04:14] fallore: so it works now? [04:15] losher: sudo chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash was the only step i didn't take. i did that and then followed all the instructions after (in the 2nd "NOTICE/EDIT" window) and it worked perfectly [04:15] Kana-nano, It might be system -> admin -> software sources [04:15] mimiloon:you have to make rules for all interfaces [04:15] fallore: and it boots (the acid test)? [04:15] um... what's in xubuntu 9.04 that makes it load so much longer? is it possible to remove that long loading time? [04:15] IamSOG, Mine actually boots faster [04:15] dan you using ext4 ? [04:16] IamSOG, yep [04:16] nice, sounds like I should try it then [04:16] right, i have WineHQ selected under Third-Party Software and the key in the Authentication tab [04:16] hey [04:16] and reloaded afterwards [04:17] IamSOG, I haven't tried it with SSD's but with a traditional HD it feels faster though I haven't done a quantitative test. [04:17] i was dumb enough to enable home encryption during installation. is there a way to disable it? [04:17] scunizi: yes i have build-essential [04:17] barbarella2: how can i do that? i'm new to linux [04:17] i think that I cannot auth with ssh keys because of this [04:18] oi [04:18] mudittuli: sounds like either a regression on the new kernel or something else.. the only thing I can suggest at this point is to look at nvidia's linux forum and ubuntuforums.org.. I'm out of ideas.. you might boot into the previous kernel and reinstall the driver there where it worked until you get it sorted out. [04:18] Kana-nano, Here is what I think it happening. You have enabled the WINE developers repo and when you search synaptic it automatically shows you the newest package (from the WINE repo) However the libasound that is currently in the ubuntu repos isn't new enough for the newest WINE package. Therefore it seems unattainable to synaptic. Try to install an older version of WINE or try removing that repo from your software sources. [04:18] losher: haven't tried yet, but i'll let you know [04:19] ok hold on [04:19] fallore: good luck [04:19] How do I get gnome network-manager to stop yanking my wirelss card out of monitor mode? [04:19] Kana-nano, ubuntu has a wine package (you don't need that repo) it's just not as new (probably) [04:19] puff: you kill it :D [04:19] mimiloon:take a look at fwbuilder [04:19] irc.dal.net [04:19] Clusty: I wa safraid you were going to say that. [04:19] puff: killall -9 NetworkManager/avahi [04:20] Okay, once I'm done, how do I restart it? [04:20] mudittuli: sorry I can't offer anything more.. :( [04:20] puff: i presume you wanna crack wirelesses? [04:20] Also the reason that your libasound dev file wouldn't work is because it is a developer file. It is designed to take a working libasound package and update it. It is not a complete package. Rather it is a bunch of improved code [04:20] ok i see what to do. ill follow up when im done doing just that [04:20] Kana-nano, Ok, let me know how it goes! [04:20] barbarella2: i tried that but it's too complicated [04:20] Clusty: No, actually it's my own network, I need to log an http session to debug what's going on with this webapp. [04:20] (when accessed from a user's mac) [04:21] puff: you get a nice tool with aircrack-ng called airmon or so [04:21] mimiloon:there is a wizard in it to make things easy [04:21] oh wait, you know what? [04:21] Clusty: What does it do? [04:21] this is Ubuntu's package [04:21] puff: airmon status wlan0 or something like that tells you all processing interfering [04:21] Does anyone know how to add a UID/pass to mount a NFS share? [04:21] puff: which i killed by hand [04:21] barbarella2: thanks, let me download it again [04:22] Kana-nano, What makes you say that? [04:22] Ah-hah, cool. [04:22] So I really kill *all* the processes with avahi in their name? [04:22] Kana-nano, (BTW if you type my name before the things you say my client will highlight it for me and I will respond sooner) [04:22] puff: that is what i did :D. kill all and let god sort them :D [04:22] this is the page i followed: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [04:22] puff: did not have time to investigate an elegant solution [04:23] ed_debian: yeah, my fault. sorry about that [04:23] puff: drawback is that you need to restart machine i guess to get back the nifty features [04:23] ed_debian: but yeah, thats the page i used. and also followed its instructions to the T [04:23] Kana-nano, What page are you talking about? [04:23] ed_debian: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [04:23] oic [04:24] ok so my main HD is encrypted with the Ubuntu filesystem encryption. I just added another HD. Is there a way to encrypt that also and link it to the main encryption or do I need to use a program like truecrypt? [04:24] You did good following the instructions [04:25] Kana-nano, Why do you think that the wine package you're trying to install is the ubuntu one? [04:26] Kana-nano: apt-cache policy wine on pastebin please [04:26] ed_debian: doesnt Adding the WineHQ APT Repository from one of the links on that page give you that distro? [04:26] so any1 has a clue about encrypted home dirts? [04:27] dan: :D any clue how I can disable encryption for homes? its a regular ext4 with some funny loopback [04:28] hi [04:29] losher: alright, gonna reboot O_O wish me luck [04:29] fallore: fingers crossed [04:31] Hello. I have problem with Kino and firewire, it has been working great but suddenly I lost 1394-module, Kino can't see it. I always use sudo kino-command but it is not working right now [04:31] hey all, trying to use ubuntu 7.10, apt-get says most of the sources are not available? [04:31] Hey! Do you guys think Fedora 11 will make a bigger impact as a desktop OS than Ubuntu 9.04 did? [04:32] SunnyDP: thats really offtopic. i would ask something like that in #ubuntu-chat [04:32] scales11- they stopped support for 7.10 [04:32] scales11: its probably because of the SSL Black list run the update manager and it will download the blacklist and then everything should be peach [04:32] LadyNikon: sorry brother [04:32] brother.. [04:32] i wont even go there. [04:32] Kana-nano: hello? [04:32] can i set deluge to make active more than 3 torrents at a time? :) [04:33] any idea when seamonkey will be updated to 1.1.16 in the repositories? [04:33] wtl: i would read the docs on Deluge to figure that out.

[04:34] scales11: because 7.10 is no longer supported. You need to use a supported version [04:34] losher: grub showed up :D booted to windows, so i don't know if actually booting to ubuntu works (though i assume so), but i'm pretty sure my problem is fixed :D [04:34] jeez [04:34] Scales11: doubtful [04:34] scales11: what older version? [04:34] umm [04:34] Kana-nano: are you going to pastebin what I asked?

[04:50] SunnyDP: it's probably because a lot of that stuff wasn't implemented right away with early versions of gvfs.

[04:52] SunnyDP: what would reinstalling do...? [04:52] jrib: not sure, not even sure what gvfs does, i will have to see [04:54] Hi. I'm a new user planning to dual boot XP and Ubuntu (as it seems best recommended for beginners) and I'm looking to figure out a good starting partition size before I install Windows and all that jazz. The site recommended at least 10gb. I really only need enough for the basics and "experimentation" room as my data will mostly be in yet another partition. [04:54] jrib that kernel is not even an option in my grub loader and i am still uname -r 2.6.27-10-generic [04:54] Balth what do you do with windows [04:54] And this particular laptop is only 80gb. Should I stick with 10gb or do you think I could claw a few gb off? [04:54] madbuntu: It's all personal use. [04:55] just make the part as big as you need is what im trying to say [04:55] Like, just "stuff" [04:55] games? [04:55] Oh, I'm talking about the ubuntu partition. [04:55] Sorry. [04:55] RukusX: apt-cache policy linux-image-2.6.28-12-generic [04:55] ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [04:55] yeah 10 gigs is plenty [04:56] go with even less if you want [04:56] madbuntu: Would I kick myself in the future if I enjoy (but don't go crazy over) Ubuntu, if I did say, 6gb instead?

[05:12] but the screen blanks when the lid is closed [05:12] both screens [05:12] then change the power saving settings [05:12] System->Preferences-> [05:12] i changed the close lid action to do nothing [05:12] but that still happens [05:12] hrm [05:12] did you logout/login? [05:12] when i login to my ubuntu it always asks me for console [console]: [05:12] adam_: the only thing I can think of is to block them via a firewall...

[05:18] FLJohn, Jasa knew because of the fglrx in the error - that's an ATI driver [05:18] Ok [05:18] .....

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or what's going on? There's a lot of stuff about Intel performance, but nothing about crashes. [05:20] so does anyone know a way to use an external monitor with a laptop with the lid closed? [05:20] FLJohn: I had a similar problem and upgraded the kernel as suggested, and it fixed my issues. If you're new to Ubuntu, upgrading the kernel might be a bit difficult, but there are instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds [05:21] h22o: just keep it from going all suspendy when you close the lid, I suspect [05:21] Anyway, read through all that, and enjoy -- that is, if I'm right that you were having freezing issues with an ATI card :) [05:21] it doesnt suspend; it just turns blank [05:21] h22o, It is blanking the screen which is a power-management feature [05:22] well how do i disable it? [05:22] h22o: that is weird... perhaps you need to edit acpi configs in /etc [05:22] i mean [05:22] ordinarily you'd disable whatever you enabled, but since this was enabled for you :p you have to find out [05:22] RedSocrates: I had a problme with 9.04 64 when I downloaded it.

[05:35] FLJohn: Right, the kernel fix is what worked for me and my ATI problems, using the radeon driver. But if you're using 8.04, it's very possible that you have a different bug than the one described there. A mainline kernel upgrade shouldn't really *hurt*, though, if you want to try it... And if the kernel has issues, you can always boot the old kernel from GRUB. [05:35] Gnea: i think i found it: screen blanking is HARDCODED into /etc/acpi/lid.sh [05:35] FLJohn: No problem, good luck. Keep asking around if that doesn't fix anything, of course [05:36] h22o: cool? [05:36] Gnea: so now what [05:37] RedSocrates: It is just that this is wierd. I have no Idea what I am doing, but I really want to learn. It has done this on two of the same barebones so it has to be that ATI driver.

It shows options up to 1152 x 864, I want to set it at 1280 x 1024 so it matches the horizontal resolution of my primary screen [05:38] FLJohn: Incidentally, that bug report to which I linked you also shows how to disable DRI. You want the line: Option "DRI" "off" [05:38] in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in your "Device" section [05:38] Also, Ubuntu doesnt appear to have figured out the video hardware very well, and its stu ck in 800x600, whereas the native would be 1024x768 [05:38] !best | lucax [05:38] lucax: 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.

[05:39] why do i get couldnt open the x11 display ()! when i ssh into my desktop and do mplayer -vo xv "file"? [05:39] Gnea: theres no option to change lid screen blanking (its only for suspend) [05:39] FLJohn: Have you tried using the radeon drivers rather than fglrx? [05:39] Gnea: thanks for ur help :-) [05:39] deathtech: Ubuntu requires at least 256MB of ram, although 384 or higher is preferred [05:39] durt , interesting. Is there a particular site or configuration option to choose a command line install ? [05:39] Gnea, I'm running on 96 MB [05:40] RedSocrates: I thought i was using radeon drivers [05:40] deathtech, must be done from the alternative cd. [05:40] why do i get couldnt open the x11 display ()! when i ssh into my desktop and do mplayer -vo xv "file"? [05:40] is there a live CD like gparted that will image the hard drive? [05:40] h22o: np :) well, figured it was worth a shot... might want to try fiddling around with some option there [05:41] durt , can i just do a sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, then apt install lxde ? [05:41] deathtech, yup [05:41] durt: you're using which version of ubuntu and which wm? :) [05:41] FLJohn: There are two drivers for ATI Radeon cards, one is fglrx and the other is radeon [05:42] Gnea, 9.04, LXDE is based on openbox. [05:42] durt, Awesome, anyway to figure out what my specific monitor settings are so i can correctly set them in xorg ? its a laptop , so its difficult to find the specs to begin with, much less one this old [05:42] #chriss [05:42] ok so how do I change it? [05:42] durt: ah, okay - yeah, openbox will do it. I was referring to the standard ubuntu with gnome+metacity [05:42] how come the iwlist scan no longer works on ubuntu 9.04?? [05:42]  RedSocrates: how do I change it? [05:43] Gnea, nooooway not on this old peice of junk [05:43] :) [05:43] durt, like a deep query app that can probe the settings ? [05:43] what about SystemRescueCd? [05:43] anyone? [05:44] FLJohn: Well, first, can you put your /etc/X11/xorg.conf in a pastebin? [05:44] deathtech, go a google for 'your lappy's product id and xorg' [05:44] how come the iwlist scan no longer works on ubuntu 9.04?? [05:44] durt, searched high and low, really not a lot of info for my specfic model [05:44] How do I find it? [05:44] Hey guys...I just upgraded to the latest packages on my 8.04 system and now it boots straight into the "grub>" prompt. When I try I try to boot manually using the root, kernel, initrd, and boot commands it works but then stops at the "(initramfs)" prompt. Any suggestions? [05:44] RedSocrates: How do I find it? [05:45] jtaji: i am lost, how to i tell it to make with a speficif version of gcc?

The linux-kernel-image-generic is the only one that sticks out from my repeated attempts. [06:00] barbarella2, my ide is showing last, but that's what i want to be booting from. so i need to reorder the drives in my bios?

Things go wrong when I hit "up" to go to a previous command. Only happens as root. [06:07] Can anyone tell me how to add a resolution option to an external monitor? My xorg.conf is basically empty, I guess it's Ubuntu trying to "do the right thing"... [06:07] BNJV [06:07] In the "Display" preferences dialog I have resolution options up to 1152 wide, I want it to go up to 1280 [06:07] starkraving, what type of videocard do you have, please say nvidia [06:08] panzor, thanks... it's ati radeon of course === bk is now known as bk|away [06:08] starkraving, things will be harder, but you could poke around with aticonfig and use internet help pages with that [06:09] Hi , is there any way to install new fonts ? [06:09] '~$ sudo dmidecode -t 2; ... Base Board Information ...' What is a 'base board'? [06:09] Everything is working fine, I have all the visual effects enabled, just for some reason one day I started up and it only had resolutions up to 1152 [06:09] hmmm [06:09] What filesystem would be most preferable on netbook? [06:09] nicks007, what kind of founts [06:09] if i have some program in a tar.gz [06:09] fonts* [06:09] can i use dpkg to install it using the package manager? [06:09] I'm not using any proprietary drivers at all right now [06:09] text fonts.. [06:09] nicks007, .ttf maybe? [06:09] !font | nicks007 [06:09] nicks007: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [06:09] Apparently my radeon's drivers aren't supported in 9.04 [06:10] barbarella2: i'm not finding the trick for making my ide drive (as opposed to the satas) sda. i'll reboot again and enter the bios... [06:10] how can i do that ? please tell me in detail. [06:10] starkraving, ah, sucks. I've been running 8.04 for a while and love it. It's supported for longer than 9.04 anyway :P [06:11] how can i add new fonts into existing font library ? [06:11] jamiejackson, shouldn't IDE drives come up as hda instead? [06:11] i think that changed in jaunty, panzor [06:12] Does anyone know how i can get rythmbox music player to sort the library by 'album artist' not just 'artist' [06:12] I need a programme to format pendrives & others on Ubuntu 9.0.4 [06:12] barbarella2: i'm in the bios, where do i change the order so my ide is sda? [06:12] jamiejackson, that's how linux distros do it that I've been a part of. hda is ide, sda is sata === kanagaraj is now known as RKR [06:13] nicks007, put the .ttf files in /usr/share/truetype/ I think [06:13] then restart the program you're using [06:13] Hi, Every one I need A help [06:13] and it should appear...maybe [06:13] pintook, have you tried gparted? [06:13] sda for even ide is what i've read happened in jaunty, panzor, and that's what i'm seeing too [06:13] no [06:13] jamiejackson, I don't see the point [06:13] ok let me try [06:13] Is /tmp mounted as swap? [06:13] no eric [06:13] oh_noes, no [06:13] no eric [06:13] Go install it, I think it should work [06:13] Hey guys, I installed a deb file from nvidia.com for my gpu and now my vid card is not working properly is there away to revert back to the original drivers? [06:14] jamiejackson: ubuntuu moved from sda/hda separation ages ago [06:14] jamiejackson:look for boot priority in the bios and select the ide [06:14] panzor: it it just a physical directory on the / file system? [06:14] panzor: the point of hd* becoming sd* for IDEs? i dunno, i didn't write it ;-) [06:14] kerebus: just install the recommended drivers [06:14] Hi Anybody tell my how to make live CD of ubuntu with our own Softwares that we need? [06:14] oh_noes, yeah, it gets erased every time you boot - like the recycle bin on a windows machine, only it gets cleaned up on reboot :P [06:14] kerebrus: just install the recommended drivers [06:15] pronoy: that doesn't fix the problem [06:15] kerebrus: what gpu are you using [06:15] RKR, do you mean you want a Live CD with non-included software installed? [06:15] nvidia gforce fx5200 [06:15] panzor:no, hda is something from the old kernels, all are sd now [06:16] RKR: I found something on the first hit on google for 'make live CD of ubuntu' [06:16] kerebrus, did you try reinstalling the nvidia driver you had previously? [06:16] panzor, i dont have the directory trutype in /usr/share [06:16] RKR: I generally keep a list of to-be-install and to-be-purged packages in a textpad. You can use that as script. [06:16] barbarella2, oh really? Hmm I guess that would explain why slackware calls these hda ;P [06:16] panzor: the driver before was from the default install of ubuntu and I dont know where that driver is located or how to remove the one that is currently installed [06:17] barbarella2: my boot priority goes 1st floppy, dvd, then the IDE i want, then "nvidia boot agent" then "2-nvidia boot agent" [06:17] What filesystem would be most preferable on netbook? [06:17] nicks007: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ sorry [06:17] jamiejackson:that should be ok [06:18] barbarella2: but i didn't change it. that's what it's *been* set on, and the ide comes up dead last (sde) [06:18] Does anyone know where I could go to learn how Ubuntu (or Linux in general) works, as an OS? (ie. the different components, such as the kernel, daemons, servers, hardware interfaces, etc.) [06:18] kerebrus: get it from nvidia. The installation with get rid of most of the previous things, but I had errors until I did some radical cleaning out. Look at all of the things you have installed with "nvidia" in front of them and uninstall. EVen the kernel one. Then run the sh script they give you after turning off gdm [06:19] eric__: slackware lol [06:19] jamiejackson:how many drives you got? [06:19] jamiejackson: disk naming happens during boot up when the disks are probed. That's a separate issue to which disk the bios tries to boot from. To rename the disks, you'd have to change the cabling, as far as I know... [06:19] eric__: losher: Friends First of all i explain my needs , I have installed ubuntu9.04 in my system and i have a live CD From ubuntu. my need is that i want to create a ubuntu installation disk with live CD support with my own languages and with mp3 codecs and other some softwares and i have to distribute it to my friends. pls guide me! [06:19] barbarella2: and i don't know if it's relevant, but the IDE also shows up as the first primary IDE master, with the CDROM in second place, and the satas in 3,4,5, and 6th place [06:19] f-spot must be seriously fubar under the hood if I can consistently make it crash just by clicking on a menu item. [06:20] bye [06:20] RKR: See make your own live CD on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD [06:20] losher: can't do much about cabling changes, since my desired boot is ide, and my others are sata [06:20] panzor: so go into synaptic and remove all nvidia entries? [06:21] barbarella2: 1 ide (my desired boot), and 4 satas that i intend to raid5 [06:21] jamiejackson:so you want to have the mbr on the ide drive [06:21] kerebrus: yeah, lemme see if I can remember the ones I did. It looked pretty scary, I remember. One of those "cross yoru fingers and hope that random forum poster knew what he was talking about ><" moments [06:21] panzor, do you mean install Slackware? [06:21] jamiejackson: then you're stuck with whatever naming scheme the kernel comes up with. You should still be able to boot from the ide disk though [06:21] yes, barbarella2 [06:21] panzor: lol [06:21] ##beginners-help @ irc.freenode.net [06:21] eric__: being able to run slackware and customize it thoroughly will get you all the knowledge you need to succeed as a linux user, in my opinion === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [06:22] okay, so i'll use sde when i get to the advanced install options for the bootloader location [06:22] ???DCC SEND "irc.bluenzo.net_join #main_thx" 0 0 0? [06:22] jamiejackson:and grub starts? [06:22] barbarella2: and it goes on sde proper, right, not in a partition (sde2)? [06:22] kerebrus: here we go [06:22] panzor, Ok, I guess I'll try that, thanks! [06:22] ...because that's where the mbr is? [06:22] could someone please tell me what a good virus scanner is for ubuntu and how to run it? [06:23] kerebrus: at a term type "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" [06:23] jamiejackson:but you can boot your system? [06:23] eric__: there's also linux from scratch. The book was good as I recall... [06:23] eric__: no prob, and good luck! [06:23] losher: lol oh boy. We'll tell him that if he comes back for more xP [06:23] Friends First of all i explain my needs , I have installed ubuntu9.04 in my system and i have a live CD From ubuntu. my need is that i want to create a ubuntu installation disk with live CD support with my own languages and with mp3 codecs and other some softwares and i have to distribute it to my friends. pls guide me! [06:23] henryo, you must have tried pretty hard to find a virus for ubuntu [06:23] barbarella2: i'm only booting from livecd at this point, as it's the install that i've been asking the questions about. does that answer your question? [06:24] panzor: I think slackware will keep him busy for a while :-) [06:24] kerebrus: probably gonna see three things: "nvidia-glx-new" "nvidia-kernel-common" "nvidia-settings" [06:24] no, i don't have one, i just want some software to make sure my computer is clean [06:24] '~$ sudo dmidecode -t 2; ... Base Board Information ...' What is a 'base board'? [06:24] From ubuntu 9.04, openoffice command disappeared. What the alternative command? [06:24] kerebrus: get rid of those before you install. I'm not sure if you need to get rid of nvidia-settings, but I didn't test the fates, so I don't suggest you do too :P. [06:24] jamiejackson:then sde should be fine [06:25] okeydoke, thanks for the help, barbarella2 [06:25] tomoyuki28jp: Alternative to what? [06:25] Can someone tell me the string to find out what my pc's ip address is? [06:25] RKR, try this link: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-with-remastersys.html [06:25] RKR, search on google for "how to remaster ubunu" [06:25] panzor: ive wiped everything but nvdia binary xorg driver [06:25] ifconfig, Ron586 [06:25] bullgard4: To start openoffice. (I mainly use Impless). [06:25] bullgard4: I think it's just another way of saying motherboard... [06:26] Ron586, ifconfig [06:26] jamiejacson: Thank-you [06:26] tomoyuki28jp, ooffice or soffice [06:26] kerebrus: hmm, I don't have that package - dont' recognize it either. I'd say keep that, and if you have problems can it, then try again. After backing htat one up, actually. Sounds...important haha. [06:26] eric_:Thank you [06:26] Ron586: 'ip addr' [06:26] bullgard4, base board would mean the mother board. [06:26] unop_: yeah, soffice is the one, thanks! [06:27] b [06:27] losher, unop_ Thank you. [06:27] kerebrus: now grab the linux drivers from the site - I think 185.xx.xx is the latest beta - it works for me. Then hit ctrl-alt-1 and type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" to stop gdm. Then "sh NVIDIA-blah blah" [06:27] kerebrus: might want to write down that /etc/init.d command [06:28] t [06:28] h [06:28] panzor: do you have to purchase Slackware? [06:28] eric__: nope. Oldest surviving linux distro and always been free :P [06:29] u dont need to buy slackware, just go to the official website and download it [06:29] eric__: also check out http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ [06:29] losher: you're evil you know that [06:30] I've got a BrookTree BT878. What's a good program to use for TV tuning with it? [06:30] panzor: where can I download an .iso for a Slackware install CD? I know, I'm an idiot, but the site I'm on says to order it [06:30] panzor: Oh, I don't think it's any worse than slackware, is it? [06:30] losher: thanks, I'll do that [06:30] no they dont [06:30] http://www.slackware.com/getslack/ [06:30] eric__, panzor, losher: you're starting to drift from Ubuntu support... [06:30] just get slack on they website, simple like that [06:30] I recommend the torrents page. People seed that thing like mad - definitely faster than the mirrors [06:30] Quick c question. outb(argv[0], base); complains about making an integer from a pointer. How do I pass just a single byte? [06:31] Myrtti: I forgive myself... [06:31] I had some really large mail.log files built up (multiple gb) so I deleted it and restarted the mail server, but the space appears to have not been reclaimed and now the mail server (postfix) only logs to syslog... is there something I can do to safely empty a log file that is in use? [06:31] OH ok thanks guys [06:31] eric__, just click get slack on the side. They give direct downloads and torrents. The order option just is a donation + shiny CD [06:31] I wasn't seeing it [06:31] Myrtti: by learning slackware, he can be more equip to help ubuntu ;P [06:31] losher, panzor: I've got no smilies left for this thread of conversation, move on. [06:33] Myrtti's getting a little offtopic methinks >_> [06:33] I've got a BrookTree BT878. What's a good program to use for TV tuning with it? [06:33] I think panzor is kinda offtopic, do you agree Myrtti [06:33] panzor: how come the people who I see doing the least amount of support are always the quickest to criticize? [06:34] losher: I know right, I've helped at least 4-5 people since I walked in and haven't gotten help with my stupid root bashrc question. Though, I haven't renewed the question admittedly [06:35] panzor: I'll have a go. What's your question? [06:35] panzor; use sudo instead of being root [06:35] bastidrazor: hell no [06:35] panzor, what are you trying to do that you need root? [06:35] losher, panzor: Thanks for the Linux from Scratch link, guys, I just found my project for the Summer! =) [06:36] panzor: you've enabled the root account? [06:36] losher: when I'm in root "sudo su -" when I press up, text sticks to the first few characters, then continues going up with those previous character stuck...it's hard to describe [06:36] panzor: have you tried to get to root prompt by sudo -i? [06:36] eric__: I cheated. I read the book but didn't do the actual work, You learn tons, though, lots of applicable to Ubuntu [06:36] Myrtti: hmm, didn't know that, thanks [06:37] panzor: also, what's your shell, have you tried others, and what about your terminal? [06:37] Myrtti: thought the problem still exists [06:37] panzor: installing the latest drivers for my card from nvidia didnt go well. [06:37] kerebrus, how did you do it? [06:37] kerebrus: humbug, what were the errors if any [06:37] panzor: I know what you mean, presumably a bug in the readline library. No idea of the cure, sorry... [06:37] panzor "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " [06:38] nah, there's no way. I'm pretty sure I just messed up when I was making my root shell be red text [06:38] kerebrus: when you installed the nvidia driver, were you in the same kernel as you booted up the first time? [06:38] hi all....... does anyone know how to get the acer orbicam to work? [06:39] kerebrus, but did you download the driver from nvidia's site or use sytem/administrations/hardware drivers?? [06:39] macvr, did you install an applications like camorama to view the video? [06:39] panzor: it might be that you've got some unicode or other mixup in your config file for the shell then... [06:40] Myrtti: mind if I post a pastebin to my gross root's .bashrc? [06:40] joetheodd: none of the tv apps are great. I've used tvtime in the past... [06:40] Myrtti: shouldn't panzor have utf 9 as jhis default language? [06:40] coz_: no...it didnt work in hardy and i stopped looking into it... is camorama in the repos? [06:40] Myrtti: shouldn't panzor have utf 8 as his default ansi language? [06:40] losher, i decided to jfgi and found tvtime. installing atm [06:41] macvr, yes it is as well as other apps like it I think even pidgin works also [06:41] macvr, camorama will be a quick test for the cam though [06:41] does anyone know if i can get Rythmbox media player to sort by 'album artist' instead of 'artist' ? [06:42] http://pastebin.com/m537c8c54 [06:42] coz_: running install.... [06:42] topgun21: yes, but depending on his language settings there might be a dead key or something there messing it [06:42] is the virtual terminal you see when you press ctrl+alt+F1, considered a "terminal emulator"? [06:42] ReggieLove: I dont' know the answer, but I'm curious to know why you want to do this and what hte difference is [06:42] macvr, plug in the cam right before you start camorama [06:42] panzor, some albums have multiple artists and it makes the library confusing [06:43] coz_: its a built in webcam... it says did not detect [06:43] macvr, ok which system manufacturer [06:43] joetheodd: see also http://www.uhlala.it/technology/linux-ati-fglrx-and-tvtime/ [06:43] coz_: logitech [06:44] macvr: Have you installed the usb video driver for linux? [06:44] macvr, hold on [06:44] ReggieLove: ah, I just strip all of the artists from techno albums and rename the whole album's artists the most notorious one otherwise :/. Defeinitely a workaround. I'd say for you to let me know if you figure it out but....my hopes are low for us meeting again >_> [06:44] topgun21: its a built-in one... wait i'll check [06:45] panzor: yeah that would work i guess but there are a lot of them haha, yeah good point [06:46] ReggieLove: I rename ID3 tags a bunch at a time with Ex Falso. I think you can select a whole album at a time and rename them that way too, in rhythmbox [06:46] Where are the packages and package lists downloaded with apt-get stored? [06:46] hello [06:46] topgun21: what is the exact package name? [06:46] panzor: try adding this in dot bashrc http://www.pastebin.ca/1439081 for red root prompt [06:46] hskill: yes, they're all terminal emulators these days, as almost no-one has an actual, real terminal any more [06:46] i have the following options in my /etc/xorg.conf file: Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,grp:alt_shift_toggle" [06:47] this by pressing alt+shift+a, i can switch between 2 different keyboard layouts [06:47] nomad77: oh it's red, it just has errors when I search through history with "up" [06:47] is there another way i can switch layouts through the commandline? [06:47] panzor: hrmhm, I must say it's most curious. I personally use zsh and not had any problems with the colours... [06:47] macvr: System >> administration >> Synaptic Package manager and search for usbvideo [06:47] i tried looking into xset [06:47] panzor: oh sorry === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk [06:47] nomad77: no prob, I appreciate the attention :) [06:47] onexused: I believe in /var/cache/apt and /var/lib/apt [06:48] panzor: thanks ill try one of those [06:48] bc: Thanks, that looks like what I'm looking for. [06:48] Anyone know what the current range of SSD's are like? I'm seeing some claiming 1.5 million hours MTBF, which seems awfully high to me [06:49] Nom-, yep intel's clain 2,000,000 hours [06:49] claim [06:49] is there a channel dedicated to finding hardware, I'm having some problems finding my webcam on my laptop. [06:49] onexused: be sure to wear a safari hat and bring along a monocle, good luck [06:49] topgun21: IS IT "W3CAM"? [06:49] coz_: any ideas? [06:49] any one know what is the best open source typing program to help with speed and accuracy ?? [06:49] anyone have netbook remix on an eeepc 901? [06:50] onexused: if you want to clear old packages out, apt-get clean (I think) [06:50] macvr, I am looking now do you have an exact model for that webcam? [06:50] onexused: Apt keps iit archives in /var/cache/apt/archives [06:50] bc: I don't have to know a whole lot about what's there, just share it so I don't have to download packages twice. [06:50] Joker_iz_Sik: I saw one in add/remove years ago, but I dunno if it's any good or if it still exists >_> [06:50] topgun21: Thanks. bc said the same thing. [06:50] onexused: Apt keeps its archives in /var/cache/apt/archives [06:50] what was the name of it panzor ?? [06:51] losher, im an nvidea man so i think im in the clear [06:51] 1.5m hours is a bloody long time... if they're really likely to last even half that time with 24/7 usage, then I'm very tempted to go get one [06:51] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=554333 [06:51] losher, not to mention compiz stands against my entire reason for using linux (efficiency).. as does KDE :P [06:51] Nom-, intel's also has a utility built in for isolating bad blocks if they s hould occur [06:51] Joker_iz_Sik: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=554333 [06:51] coz_: how do i grep the cam id? i'm not able to find it... [06:51] Nom-, righ now intels' or fusion-io drives [06:52] macvr, which model of laptop [06:52] joetheodd: the interesting part was that he used vlc and mplayer as tuning apps and liked mplayer best. Just a suggestion if you don't like tvtime... [06:52] hwo can i change the notify pop up of jaunty? [06:52] joetheodd: yeah right, you just hate compiz cause it messes with wine don't you! [06:52] joetheodd: p.s. totally agree about compiz & kde. [06:52] panzor, i hate compiz cause it doesn't work with my video card. :P [06:52] coz_: Acer Aspire 5672 WLMi, from the aspire 5670 series [06:52] onexused: for future reference, inspecting information like that in the future can possibly be done with strace [06:52] losher: I think we would be good friends [06:53] panzor, i wouldn't use it anyways, but if i needed a good reason.. :P [06:53] joetheodd: I know a WoW-head when I see one [06:53] bc: I'll keep that in mind. [06:53] panzor, good call. :P [06:53] joetheodd: The appropriate response would be "I hate my video card because it does not work with compiz" :) [06:53] panzor: cool. I'm often here in the evenings (pacific time)... [06:53] onexused: here is a quick tutorial for the bookmarks -> http://www.hokstad.com/5-simple-ways-to-troubleshoot-using-strace.html [06:53] mobi-sheep, I hate my video card cause it's an MX4000 and is older than my grandma.

[08:03] Tasbuntu, a good analogy would be the difference b/w a 4 lane highway and an 8 lane highway [08:03] h4mx0r: can we start from there [08:03] h4mx0r: ? [08:03] Tasbuntu: however some applications won't run without a bit of prodding [08:03] krishmish: ah thanks nice link [08:03] Allright [08:03] krishmish: which part you on?

[08:03] dlemaitre: hardly. 64-bit processors aren't twice as fast [08:03] Tasbuntu: no, 32bit can only address ~3.2GB of RAM [08:03] oops [08:03] Tasbuntu: theoretically or practically? theoretically, it means that each register of your computer can contain 64 bits of data, allowing for fast computations with big numbers and ability to use big numbers to access memory. practically, it means that if you run 64 bit you might see slight improvement in some things, but problems in others due to incompatabilities [08:04] dsl1009: hardly. 64-bit processors aren't twice as fast [08:04] Tasbuntu: 32 bit is more supported. I'd go for that unless you plan on video editing or something that actually needs more than 3 gigs. [08:04] is there a version of > that flushes on every write? Some code i'm working with crashes the OS, so I need > to flush in order for me to read the output later.

[08:04] ziroday, Tasbuntu: 4 is correct, but reserved space and memory in other devices [08:04] frankS2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:04] why doesnt it say 1.73GHZ [08:05] reserved space and memory in..wha? [08:05] I don't get it, I'm afraid xD [08:05] frankS2: it does.. right there on the first line..? [08:05] persistent_code: what language are you talking about? what you're after is "unbuffered" i/o [08:05] Slart: cpu mhz: 800 [08:05] Tasbuntu: rumor has it that ubuntu 32-bit uses 3 gigs for everything, and reserves the 4th gig for just the kernel. Not a waste :)...or maybe I'm just optimistic about my own folley of buying 4 gigs... [08:05] frankS2: powersaving? it's a feature [08:05] who say 32 bit cannot use more than 3GB ram? [08:05] Slart: and on the first line it says 1.73GhZ [08:05] Ah, but you see, the thing is I don't only use Ubuntu [08:05] Tasbuntu: you can address 4GB of virtual space, but not all of it is in RAM and some of it is reserved by the kernel [08:05] frankS2: you have CPU governor for saving energy. [08:05] frankS2: most newer intel chips slow down when not used [08:06] panzor: where the hell did you hear that rumor? [08:06] Tasbuntu: if you are using 4GB of RAM, then you need to have the 64bit version [08:06] frankS2: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor [08:06] I figured [08:06] Thank you [08:06] Any things that might give me trouble? Specifically Compiz-Fusion and WINE [08:06] raylu: back alley. Bad people, bad activities. It was horrible. [08:06] frankS2: it will increase the frequency when the cpu has something to do.. it's quite normal [08:06] ziroday: or a bigmem kernel [08:06] raylu: yes, but desktop users don't want to run the server kernel do they now? [08:06] Can anyone assist me to determine little more details of my system ? [08:07] ziroday: you can compile it from scratch :D [08:07] Tasbuntu: some applications may have difficulty running, wine may be a worry [08:07] has anyone gotten PAE to work with their kernel to get more than 3? [08:07] raylu: we do not recommend compiling kernels from scratch here [08:07] can you name a few for me? [08:07] h4mx0r: im using hardy [08:07] panzor: to use PAE you need to use the server kernel [08:07] ziroday: yes we do: [08:07] !kernel [08:07] 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 [08:08] raylu: yes, and the above examples do not need to. [08:08] ziroday: yeah, but it avoids the 64-bit stuff [08:08] Tasbuntu: not any of the top of my head sorry. #winehq will know more [08:09] wow, I think the 64 vs. 32 bit debate appears here at least every 24 hours. [08:09] that's why I always wear my jersey! === evilGary is now known as Chipmunk [08:09] allright, thanks [08:09] panzor: what applications are you worried about?

[08:10] ziroday: didn't ask the question, I was joking :P [08:10] krishmish: wait no hardy that's 8.04 [08:10] the apocolypse runs perfectly fine in wine. in fact, it even runs on solaris.

Are you running of a thumbdrive? [08:27] BigV have you actually installed it [08:28] lol [08:28] BigV, does this command return anything? find ~/ ! -user "$USER" [08:28] ziroday: Yes its all installed, running off an HD, not a thumbdrive [08:28] thanks dsl1103. i've thought about this also but maybe there was another mt command i could use to speed things up. [08:29] unop_: it returns nothing [08:29] BigV have you gone through the Installer located as a desktop icon which says "Install" [08:29] ubuntu__: that is not the issue. The issue is BigV has no home folder for some reason [08:29] BigV: try create a new user and see if that fixes it [08:29] Yes, I've installed Ubuntu many time before and have ti running on my laptop as well. I haven't done anyhting different [08:29] times* [08:29] ziroday, and how do you conclude that? [08:30] ziroday: thanks I will give it a go [08:30] unop_: does your command above not search for a home dir (or anything in it)? [08:30] how can I do a secure erase on all empty space in a server install? [08:30] ziroday, it looks for files that he is not the owner of in his homedir [08:30] BigV: also did you create /home on seperate partition? [08:31] unop_: ah apologies, I misunderstood :) [08:31] I'm having trouble configuring jack, it fails every time I try to start it [08:31] No I let Ubuntu handle the partitioning automatically. Its dual booted with Windos XP [08:32] I do have a home directory. With a folder "black" which is my username [08:32] but I will try creating a new one [08:32] hrm, so the Add User is greyed out. lol [08:33] quit [08:33] dammit [08:34] whatzzup === ubuntu__ is now known as Phylum [08:35] I guess I could just install it again...

[08:40] no thats the thing, i still have full power, i can change system settings, mount settings, install new software, read/write any files i want [08:40] doh [08:40] BigV, did you try creating and using a new user? [08:40] hmm... [08:40] i cant [08:40] BigV: what kind of permissions are your home dir?

Even when I'm on AC Power. This is very annoying and probably damaging my disk. How do I make it stop? [08:41] well, if he's not getting results though I'd say instead.. xterm, su sudo to get root and then try adduser [08:41] BigV: Does this happen every time or just now? [08:42] wierd, it says im not the owner and i cant change the permissions [08:42] every time [08:42] darlek, su sudo is redundant .. sudo -i [08:42] How would I add a key using CLI? [08:42] mobi-sheep, key to what exactly?

[08:45] how i can update xorg after update my ubuntu [08:45] i cant use some combinations of keys [08:45] mobi-sheep, https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Adding%20a%20PPA%20to%20your%20Ubuntu%20repositories [08:46] Sym: find your xorg.conf file and note that it's basically blank. However your previous one may still be in the same directory under a renamed name. [08:46] hello i have some boring newbie questions about ubuntu and linux.. i am interest in ubuntu so. i wonder if someone is in good mood to help me. maybe this is not the correct room? [08:46] hey all, have a question. going to be setting up a dual boot sys, ubu and xp. but main question is my data, which will be on a main, huge, partion, around 200gb. thing is, what file system would be best, fat32 or ntfs??? [08:47] mespejel: sure.. just ask your questions [08:47] mib_9n53ng, ntfs [08:47] mib_9n53ng: I would go with ntfs [08:47] FAT32 is evil, definately NTFS :) [08:48] ditto [08:48] ntfs isn't evil?? =) [08:48] Not that NTFS isn't even either, but it's lesser of two evils. [08:48] *evil [08:48] unop_: Slart why would it be better? have the rread write issues been resolved properly while on the ubu side, aand accessing, wrtiing data, to ntfs partion [08:48] Slart: thanks. So what is the difference between Gnome, GTK2, Compiz, Emerald and E17? :) [08:48] one could argue that NTFS is evil-er than FAT32 .. but that's a topic for another day [08:48] Slart: I am just extremely confused. [08:48] hey [08:48] unop_: Many gracious. [08:48] Is Ubuntu recomends only for intel boards? [08:49] have u guys used the rc1 windows 7 already? [08:49] if it has a pulse, Ubuntu will run on it [08:49] mib_9n53ng, well it supports things like compression, encryption, permissions, etc .. and the RW issue has been sorted, pretty much yea [08:49] mespejel: wow.. most of those are different things.. and I don't mean different ways of doing the same thing.. different things altogether [08:50] haven't touched win for two years now. Only have to use it outside the home [08:50] So it only suggest Intel procesor only [08:50] windows 7 is great [08:50] mespejel: I think wikipedia has some good articles on these things.. but I'll try to explain anyways [08:50] fortune! [08:50] even dare i say better than ubuntu [08:50] unop_: cool, i was trying to steer away from windows though... i hate it. lol. but sadly, it is needed. what about ext3 as the main super partiion, can i get winxp to read from ext3 at all? [08:50] ubuntu__: Can Window 7 get viruses? Yes it is great! :) [08:51] no in windows seven viruses are disabled no more viruses on windows [08:51] mespejel: gnome is .. a framework.. it comes with stuff like a registry like database for application settings.. [08:52] mespejel: a structure for how applications should behave.. what they can do etc etc [08:52] mib: I hadn't heard that xp can read ext3 but if ubuntu is running on that then /home in nfts partition that might work and allow for sharing of files? [08:52] ubuntu__: I see "Windows 7 beta affected by Vista viruses" on Google :) [08:52] Is there a changeset viewer for ubuntu so I can view changesets for different packages? [08:52] unop_: It didnt work unfortunately. I tried to log in and I just got a black screen, still with a responding cursor, cant use crtlaltdel or ctrlaltbackspc, so I rebooted and same thing. [08:52] that way if ubuntu dies you can kill the partition without taking your files with it [08:53] hey [08:53] someone give me a list of mp3 players for ubuntu [08:53] !hi | myself [08:53] myself: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:53] !mp3 | myself [08:53] myself: 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 [08:53] hey thanks guys thanks for welcoming me [08:53] darlek: yes i know, i have expereinced that horror, that is why it will be 3 main partiions, xp, ubu, and main storadge [08:53] !player | myself [08:53] myself: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [08:53] mespejel: gtk is another kind of framework for doing application guis, if I'm correct [08:53] BigV, did you say this install was a fresh install ? [08:53] thank you [08:54] myself: You're welcome! :) [08:54] i love you [08:54] unop_:yup, just finish an hour or so ago [08:54] mib: good call. Been there with Ibex haha [08:54] finished* [08:54] hello everybody! I'm interested to obtain a bluetoooth hedset, remonendations and suggestions are welcome thanks! [08:54] Slart: yeah im reading that gtk2 is the tools kits to make gnome [08:54] what is the best video editing in Ubuntu? [08:54] so i kind of similar i guess [08:54] BigV: can you run the LiveCD? [08:54] darlek: yah, i have been thru crashes on every distro release since 5.10 [08:54] darlek: havent tried [08:54] BigV, sounds like something went wrong during the install .. this is very odd [08:55] everything is backeed up, always [08:55] mespejel: compiz is a system where you basically don't draw stuff to the graphics screen directly.. you draw it to compiz.. then compiz takes all the windows and decides how to place them on the screen.. so compiz can decide that one window should be spinning around.. and the application doesn't have to deal with it.. [08:55] BigV, open up a terminal and issue this command. sudo aptitude reinstall '~i' [08:55] Samae: isn't easy to answer this quaswtion... depends.. take a look at cinelerra, openmovie editor... [08:55] mespejel: yes.. gnome uses gtk2, I think [08:55] Samae: sudo apt-cache search video | grep edit [08:55] Samae: Not all packages are for video editting. [08:55] mib: oh really? I've been quite lucky. Also since 5.10. Only Ibex flirted with disaster but was overcome. Luckily I didn't use it for long and quickly went to Jaunty [08:56] hi there. ive got an axis network camera on our network, but im not sure of the IP, is there a way I can scan the network to find out where it is? [08:56] I was thinking alternative of afterEffects and Priemere [08:56] been using the same PIII lappy with external keyboard to save the motherboard glue :)) [08:56] unop: whoa, that looks like everything lol [08:56] darlek yah, since 5.10. my main issues, are hardware that will crash and kill things [08:56] leanred that lesson the hard way [08:56] many times [08:56] BigV, yes, it will take a while - time for a coffee break :) [08:57] Um, hi? [08:57] I have an iso in ~/.latex/texlive2007-live-20070212.iso that I want to mount automatically on login, how to do this? [08:57] mespejel: what else...Emerald.. well.. to make Gnome easier to customize it doesn't draw the borders around the windows ... it just has something like a plugin that does that.. Emerald is one such plugin.. it's called a window-decorator [08:57] guys any help on installing os x themes how do i apply it after i download it? [08:58] salut les copains === Juliiiie is now known as antoine [08:58] mespejel: there are other window-decorators.. but Emerald works nicely with compiz.. not sure if it's compiz-only or just good with compiz [08:58] hi, can u help me ? where i can download airoscript ? My airoscript don't work :/ [08:58] unop: sweet well i need to go out anyway. thanks for your help so far. if it doesn't work I'll just do a fresh install as it might be possible something else has gone wrong which will crop up at some annoyingly unexpected time lol. night and thanks again === xukun_ is now known as moll [08:58] thanks to the other ppl who gave some suggestions :D [08:58] Slart: Emerald is not supported if you didn't know that. :) [08:58] but yah, main reason i have to do all this is cause im buying an itouch [08:58] !emerald [08:58] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [08:58] BigV: good luck [08:58] i need an mp3 player [08:58] mespejel: I think gtk was what did these things before compiz [08:58] and portable gps [08:59] thanks darlek, see ya [08:59] mobi-sheep: uh?.. what are we using in ubuntu these days? [08:59] Slart: Compiz. [08:59] Can I burn .ts directly to a dvd that will play in my standalone dvd player? [08:59] .ts file .. === unop_ is now known as unop [08:59] mib: mplayer, mpg321, audacious... all free.. all the time [08:59] Slart: To be more precise, Compiz-Fusion. I think. No more emerald though. :) [08:59] Slart: so compiz is a window manager. and emerald like a decorator [09:00] so if get emerald i dont need the gtk2 themes from www.gnome-look.org? [09:00] can't mix i guess [09:00] can someone help me mount a raid setup from my 9.10 install? im in 9.04 live cd right now. i can't mount sda1 or sdb1, and md0 isn't showing... [09:00] http://pastebin.com/m5ecd9eba [09:00] darlek: naw man, i need a portable one. and i havent really read any positive reviews on any aps that simply will allow me to connect, transfer, dissconnect, and be on my way [09:00] darlek: ill have to do it from win xp side unfortunately [09:01] heya all... i got an ubuntu 8.10 box acting as a firewall/router. rather odd issue... if i have default MTU, then desktops on our net which run Linux and Mac can't load facebook. if i change the MTU on the router's outbound interface to 1400, then facebook works. why should the MTU have this effect??? [09:01] mib: ah, I just use my NDS which uses microSD ;) You might consider a SD based mp3 player so you have that flexibility too [09:01] mobi-sheep: huh.. didn't know that.. thanks.. [09:01] mespejel: yes [09:02] Can I burn .ts video file directly to a dvd that will play in my standalone dvd player? [09:02] Hello! I'm having a problem..I'm having a big problem installing "Adobe Flash Player" on Ubuntu 9.04(or 9.08, most recent version!). I got the .tar.gz of the installer...I don't know how to use it. [09:02] mobi-sheep: hmm.. I'm running the gtk-window-decorator it seems. [09:02] hi, ubuntu don't show my pendrive - Voyager 8GB [09:02] darlek: yah, i used to do that, and i used to use my psp, tro big though. so, i need a unit capable of skype, music, gps, web browsing, organizer, ebook reader, learning software, some simple games, in one unit [09:02] Slart: is there any tips for 9.04 to get it run even faster? and also get a faster boot? i know it is already fast but i wonder if there are tricks? [09:03] unfortunaly, only apple offers a relatively good choice [09:03] Slart: Probably metacity. [09:03] I just installed Ubuntu on a third machine and two of them have a weird issue. When I open a window with selectable options like System -> Administrator -> Services the window is blank. I've unlocked the control by entering my password and it is still blank. This is a fresh full install. also programs like gPodder have the issue where the list has options but shows blank. Any ideas? [09:03] mobi-sheep: nope.. compiz [09:03] Hi, I've trouble with the 'hibernate' option on ubuntu 8.04 [09:03] can someone help me mount a raid setup from my 9.10 install? im in 9.04 live cd right now. i can't mount sda1 or sdb1, and md0 isn't showing... [09:03] http://pastebin.com/m5ecd9eba [09:03] rats ^^$$$^^ [09:03] Slart: Well, I see. I suppose Compiz + Emerald would only bring more confusion and clash with each others. Too many bugs. :) [09:04] Can anyone help me to get Hibernate work on Ubuntu 8.04 [09:04] mobi-sheep: mm... there were bugs indeed.. once again.. thanks [09:04] Slart: No problem. [09:04] hmmm actually, question to all, might help a hell of a lot. anyone using an i touch here? what app do you use for file transfers/?? [09:04] Hello! I'm having a problem..I'm having a big problem installing "Adobe Flash Player" on Ubuntu 9.04(or 9.08, most recent version!). I got the .tar.gz of the installer...I don't know how to use it. [09:04] mespejel: well.. there are some things you can do.. you can make the startup-scripts run concurrently.. ie several scripts run at the same time [09:05] mespejel: it didn't change much for me.. but it's one of those things that people keep recommending [09:06] mespejel: bah.. I have to reboot.. be back [09:07] Slart: there are many bugs using compiz and emerald? [09:07] Someone tell me how to get hibernate working on Ubuntu [09:07] o yah, and no vboxing, ideally, already thought of it, but this from an epc 1000h [09:07] Hello!

It's just an appearance. ): [09:09] so, no itouch owners here? [09:09] Nicolas__: did you try installing the flash plugin from Applications > Add/Remove... [09:09] cm21: Intel chips with DEll have a problem resetting the brightness, you might want to check the ubuntuforums if that's the case here [09:09] mobi-sheep: what you mean? so what is unsupported? emerald or compiz?

[09:33] 'noon [09:33] cm21: Is there a 'Brightness Applet' in the list of applets that you can add to Gnome-Panel? [09:33] cm21: Try right-click on a panel and "Add to.." Look for Brightness Applet. [09:33] hhhyyyy [09:33] yes, but don't work [09:33] cm21: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4170431 for some ideas. This is a laptop post, but desktop might have similar issues. I don't know more about it though [09:33] cm21: do u use a prop driver for your gfx? [09:34] cm21: the brightness aplet is for laptops only [09:34] Is there a deb available anywhere for the 1.0 RC2 of VLC? [09:34] sounds like a gamma/brightness/contrast issue maybe [09:34] Flynsarmy: have you checked the vlc site [09:34] so, nothing for desktop [09:34] cm21: is there a time when the screen is okay or is it always dark? [09:34] Flynsarmy: getdeb? [09:34] neurochrome, ya, not on the download page [09:35] always dark [09:35] ok thanks everybody, especially darlek, neurochrome and mobi-sheep [09:35] cm21: yeah. normally the gfx cards control app [09:35] neurochrome, searching for 'vlc' on getdeb returns nothing [09:35] jvainio: np [09:35] Flynsarmy: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources [09:35] cm21: try switching off acpi at boot [09:36] Flynsarmy: probably not then... have you checked the version provided by ubuntu-tweak [09:36] because the monitor (CRT) is old [09:36] neurochrome, newbie here. don't know what that is [09:36] Flynsarmy: I have the solution -- Do you want it? [09:37] it's an app that enables 3rd party sources for you to install from.. vlc is on the list.. these will normally be newer versions than those provided by canonical [09:37] Flynsarmy: see mobi-sheep he looks like he has the answer [09:37] good morning [09:37] mobi-sheep, yes please [09:37] Flynsarmy: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list --> Type in a password --> You'll see a Text Edit popping up. [09:37] mobi-sheep: he's a noob give him the gksudo gedit version! ;) [09:37] thanks for your help neurochrome [09:38] mobi-sheep: GKSUDO! lol [09:38] Flynsarmy: Use gksudo instead of sudo. Sorry! [09:38] cm21: np [09:38] I will live on the darkness [09:38] Heh. [09:38] * neurochrome is a stickler for the rules! he he! [09:39] Flynsarmy: You there? Run "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in the terminal. [09:39] mobi-sheep, yea i have [09:39] my ubuntu laptop makes an annoying, high pitched sound when it wakes up from suspend. anyone know how to disable that? [09:39] i googled for "resume sound" and such, but found nohting [09:39] Flynsarmy: Add three lines. 1) # VLC 2) deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kow/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main 3) deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kow/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [09:40] raz: you might have a key stuck, type the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog and all the other keys [09:40] darlek, no. the sound is not permanent, it seems to be a notification sample played on purpose [09:40] Flynsarmy: # VLC [09:40] Flynsarmy: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kow/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [09:40] Flynsarmy: deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kow/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [09:40] raz: I had this exact same problem; I cleaned my keyboard and got rid os fome gunk [09:40] How to drive TP-LINK TL-WN422G+ in Ubuntu 8.04.2 server? [09:40] of a lot of gunk [09:40] darlek, ehm. there is no stuck key [09:41] mobi-sheep, done [09:41] Hi All.. I have a Active Directory ( Win 2003 ) and a NIS server (Ubuntu ) is there a way where I can synchronize Windows AD password with NIS.. so that user needs to have only one password..Rather than two different passwords? [09:41] Flynsarmy: With me so far? What you're doing is that you accept the risk and the patches that were made by a username 'kow' -- You understand me? This is adding a new source repos to your list. [09:42] Could someone give me a hand? Apache doesn't start on boot anymore, but starts fine with apache2ctl but NOT /etc/init.d/apache2 start. But I just discovered I have /etc/init.d/apache2 AND /etc/init.d/apache2.1. If I use the apache2.1 init script manually, it starts fine, no errors. Any ideas whats going on? [09:42] Flynsarmy: By doing this, you're getting a patched version of new VLC 1.0 ALPHA. I have this too. [09:42] raz: it's hard to judge a stuck key on the laptops. Even a non stuck key can have gunk pressed into it making the connection, even if the key isn't really that bad. I took my keyboard off, went over it and found two keys. Cleaned, and it worked. The noise you hear is buffer overrun. [09:42] mobi-sheep, yea i've played with apt sources before. Is there not a 1.0 rc2 one? [09:42] raz: YMMV of course of course [09:42] Flynsarmy: Assuming you did it right -- You added three lines --> Comment + Two Source Lines. Now "sudo aptitude update" [09:42] hi, where i can find airoscript to ubuntu, becouse i download and it dosn.t work :/ [09:43] darlek, dude. there is no stuck key ;) [09:43] n0u, Looks like.. apache2.1 is already using the ports ( 80/443 ..etc ).. second one fails because of that.. Whats the error message you are getting [09:43] i ll come here later [09:43] mobi-sheep, The following signatures could not be verified because the public key is not available [09:43] alrightie ;) [09:43] Elive_user33_en, no error. and the 2.1 one isnt starting a boot anyway [09:43] Flynsarmy: Alrigh. Good. I don't know if I have 1.0 RC2 as I don't care for latest version. Just that it worked.

[09:48] linux_manju, thx didnt think of that :P [09:48] n0yd, NP :) [09:48] oh okay. :D [09:48] So i just installed ubuntu over windows, and it is just as slow as it was before. [09:49] raz it looks like capacitor whine problem [09:49] where can i find a good source of business related (non programming and non web design) website that has reviews of FOSS software [09:49] why [09:49] dassouki, freshmeat.net ?? [09:49] raz, gksudo gedit /etc/init.d/acpid [09:49] like i wanted to do a clean install, and it acts like it did an overwrite, instead of a clean install. [09:49] raz, echo 2 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate [09:50] raz, Save the file and reboot Ubuntu [09:50] JesusCake[BoT]: There is no difference. [09:50] Flynsarmy: Everything going okay? VLC work? :) [09:50] linux_manju: thank u :D [09:50] jesus, what do you want doing? [09:50] well it is just as slow... and i dont know why [09:50] i want to know why it is still as slow [09:50] what are your PC specs? [09:50] mobi-sheep, yea i got a crash report the first time i did it but the second time it worked fine [09:50] even with a clean install, i havent checked the hard drive [09:50] mobi-sheep, i'm now on rc1. thanks for your help :) [09:50] its like a 2004 dell [09:50] the comp is upstairs and i dont know how to get irc on my phone haha. [09:50] Flynsarmy: Welcome. Have fun. :) [09:51] question please: every time after upgrade linux headers, I have to rebuild nvidia modules. It is easy, I got it from nvidia web site with good description. But wondering how to automate it? dmesg tell that virtualbox module is automatically rebuild. How it is done? [09:51] !apropos [09:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about apropos [09:51] sam coucou [09:51] !rails [09:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about rails [09:51] Okay, so the comp has xp. and it had viruses adware and a whole bunch of bad crap on it. I wanted to just reformat the hard drive and put linux on it, but i didnt see a spot to do a reformat. [09:52] so i think that windows is still lingering on there, which is the reason for it being slow still [09:52] how would i use ubuntu to go from stage1 to another ? [09:52] JesusCake[BoT]: Can you boot to windows anymore? If not, then it is gone. [09:52] chroot ? [09:52] no it just goes right into linux. [09:52] can anyone help me sort out a network manager problem in 9.04 [09:52] JesusCake[BoT]: Windows won't affect Ubuntu performance. Please pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l [09:53] methvan, what is the problem? [09:53] I wanto copy the OS from one machine to another. [09:53] how to do it [09:53] I don't seem to have network manager [09:53] methvan: what's up? [09:53] brb [09:53] that is i want to create an ISO of the installed Linux [09:53] you mean the applet? [09:53] i have to go upstairs [09:53] I am trying to get my wireless working again [09:53] i downloaded compiz configuration thing, and i set the effect to blur....now i can only see black windows xD anyone got any suggestions? should i go to the failsafe terminal and uninstall the configuarion tool? [09:54] sudo aptitude install network-manager-gnome [09:54] openros: you will have to use cloning software such as partimage or clonezilla [09:54] openros: That isn't a simple task. Might be better to simply do a normal install. [09:54] methvan, check this out http://wicd.sourceforge.ne [09:54] i hat an enterprice linux... [09:54] missed the dvd [09:55] and want to copy from the exsisting server to the new server [09:55] openros: not ubuntu? [09:55] anyone know the command for an uninstall? [09:55] openros: it would probably be easier to install ubuntu on the 2nd machine then rsync to it from the first [09:55] not ubuntu [09:55] Snomi: apt-get autoremove [09:55] Snomi: sudo apt-get remove [09:55] !ot | openros [09:55] i came here get a quick support [09:55] openros: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:55] which one... [09:55] autoremove? [09:56] which chanel shall i ask [09:56] Snomi: it depends what you want to do [09:56] Snomi: aptitude remove [09:56] i need to copy redhat el 5 [09:56] Snomi: autoremove will remove all "orphaned" packages whilst remove will uninstall the packages you request [09:56] ok.. [09:56] my compiz config manager thing i broken.. [09:56] Anybody know what's up with VirtualBox repo? [09:56] and i cant use ubuntu [09:57] but i can get into the terminal [09:57] Snomi: how is it broken? Please be specific [09:57] I have the two computer symbols on the task bar thing, when I left click on it, it is telling me my wireless connections are unmanaged... any ideas?? [09:57] can i mount my existing /home partition on a newly installed ubuntu with the same user name existing on both installations or will that give complications [09:57] ziroday: ive written it before: i downloaded compiz configuration thing, and i set the effect to blur....now i can only see black windows xD anyone got any suggestions? should i go to the failsafe terminal and uninstall the configuarion tool? [09:57] ziroday: I think, "auto remove" is not the same as "orphaned".. at least for synaptic, looks it is different [09:57] Anyone know what cpufreq method is actually being used on Jaunty? It seems to keep my cpu stuck on lowest frequency, even when I select the performance governor in the gnome applet [09:57] openros: CloneZilla or G4L (Ghost 4 Linux) should be okay [09:57] lanoxx-: the only complication is if the user numbers are different [09:58] lanoxx-: the numerical user ID, that is [09:58] Snomi: removing the configuration tool won't do anything [09:58] darn [09:58] ozzmosis, ok, so concerning configuration files thats no problem? thus i only have to check with the id command if the user ids are identical [09:58] hi all. when waking up from suspend, my macbook4,1 with jaunty makes some optical drive noise, but stays black. i also cannot connect per ssh then. it seems, that waking up was stopped at some point. how can i help debug this? [09:58] Snomi: try do sudo mv ~/.compiz ~/.compiz.old [09:58] in the failsafe terminal ? [09:59] Snomi: you can probably just rm $HOME/.compiz .. or do what ziroday said [09:59] After upgrading to Kubuntu 9.04, ny disk keeps spinning down, when I am not using it. Even when I'm on AC Power. This is very annoying and probably damaging my disk. How do I make it stop? [09:59] lanoxx-: correct [09:59] an7: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor [09:59] tdn: I think the hdparm command can control that [10:00] Snomi: no, press ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a VT. Press ctrl+alt+f7 to get back [10:00] kenyon, that shows the governor as set, but the scaling doesnt change (acual mhz/ghz) [10:00] sudo fdisk -sudo fdisk -l [10:00] ozzmosis, thats cool, i just installed a fresh installation of jaunty on a different partition since there is just to much stuff broken, now im trying to figure out how to best do the migration, would you suggest copying over files from /etc/? [10:00] wont that show up at black too [10:00] lanoxx-: I guess that depends what's broken :) [10:00] ziroday: [10:00] an7: it's hard to see because it changes so fast [10:00] woops haha [10:00] ziroday: wont that show up as black too [10:00] an7: did it say ondemand? [10:00] Snomi: no, its a virtual terminal [10:00] ozzmosis, I have tried. No effect. [10:00] kenyon - my cpu is sitting at 76% [10:00] !pastebin | JesusCake[BoT] [10:00] ozzmosis, hdparm -S0 does not work. [10:00] JesusCake[BoT]: 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) [10:00] woot ok [10:01] hmm? [10:01] kenyon, it says performance, but the scaling__cur_freq sits at 800mhz (which sucks for a 2ghz laptop plugged into mains) [10:01] JesusCake[BoT]: you have no windows partitions installed [10:01] okay. [10:01] tdn: how does it "not work"? [10:01] why is it still acting sluggish then? [10:01] a clean install will fix the problems it had, but this is not [10:02] ozzmosis, basically scim and the printer dialog (system-config-printer) and a few other things, random crashes, and most annoyingly i have a lot of remaining kde packets lying around since i originally installed kubuntu and then later on installed ubunut-desktop [10:03] also at boot time i still get the kubuntu splash but only have of the time and then it falls back to tty [10:03] so i still have not found a solution. [10:03] Enter text here...hello [10:03] ziroday: there is no .compiz directory [10:03] an7: I use ondemand on my core2 quad desktop. I have cpufrequtils installed, which provides a cpufreq-set program. [10:03] Snomi: you are looking in /home/yourusername correct? [10:04] what should i type ziroday [10:04] kenyon, I tried installing that, but then gnome failed to login - some sort of clash with the builtin power tools? It didnt seem to let me change anything either though [10:04] .... [10:04] Snomi: do cd ~ [10:04] Snomi: and then ls -la | grep compiz [10:04] cd ~/.compiz ? [10:04] ozzmosis, or would you say these problems are fixable? [10:04] lanoxx-: usually you'd just copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf.. possibly /etc/hosts .. maybe APT's sources.lst.. most of the stuff people care about is under $HOME or somewhere else though.. occasionally in /var [10:05] Snomi: does ls -la | grep compiz return anything when you are in your homedir? [10:05] kenyon, http://pastebin.com/m11f137f8 [10:05] lanoxx-: everything is fixable if you have the time [10:05] ozzmosis, i would have the time i guess but not the knowledge and google was not help to sofar [10:05] ... [10:05] ziroday: so i type Is -la | grep compiz [10:06] an7: hmm I don't know, maybe you can just disable scaling? [10:06] is that and L ? [10:06] kenyon, how? [10:06] Snomi: it is an l [10:06] Snomi: l L (el) [10:06] ziroday: capital i? [10:06] Snomi: ls .. short for list [10:06] k [10:06] kenyon, google seems to think removing powernowd [10:06] then in the middle, is that a line [10:06] kenyon, but its not installed on my box [10:07] is there anyway to fix the sluggishness i am experiencing right now?

[10:31] ok [10:31] :/ [10:31] hskill: yes, or possibly some of the common libraries [10:31] krisss117: let the devs know, give tem the error you get and they may fix it [10:32] Hi, I'm wondering why I can't connect WLAN with my Ubuntu box. 'iwlist ath0 scan' and all works. But for some reasons I can't get DHCP value out of it. Any logs I could see that could possibly produce error? [10:32] gordonjcp why would a system call use a library, wouldnt you just use the library call? [10:32] hskill: it's a fuzzy area [10:32] Hyperi: if you set a static ip does it work ok? [10:32] ActionParsnip: Should be DHCP :/ Want me to try? :/ [10:33] hskill: in very very old Unixes it was a lot more clear-cut, when you had a whacking great monolithic kernel and user libs and applications on top [10:33] Hyperi: iwlist doesn't provide DHCP, only the list of networks your wifi sees [10:33] (And yes, the box is configured nicely and works on 3 other devices. I even fallbacked from using WPA to WEP for making it more simple. [10:33] !iwlist [10:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about iwlist [10:33] Hyperi: its worth it, just to test [10:33] argh [10:33] darlek_: Point was that the WLAN is working. [10:33] hskill: now you've got some libraries that are very close-coupled to the kernel, and others that are quite deeply abstracted [10:33] gordonjcp ok thanks [10:34] hskill: clear as mud, right? [10:34] Hyperi: you need to work out exactly what is and isnt working [10:34] Hyperi: we know scanning works and we can find APs [10:34] oh I see... === Seti-high is now known as Demonicdata [10:34] hskill: think of "system calls" as going off to a big black box with a huge multi-pin connector and the lid rivetted shut, that you really don't want to open up ;-) [10:34] Hyperi: you may also want to try disabling WEP / WPAx to see if that connects. Not all devces can use WPA under Linux [10:35] Hi. How do I use my guest session? I have gdm-guest-session installed. [10:35] But all systems should be capable of WEP [10:35] Right? [10:35] I tried logging in as "guest" without a password but that didn't work. [10:35] Hyperi: sure, its why i use wep [10:36] My overall dislike is that WEP only protects from normal users. [10:36] Hyperi: so does WPA [10:36] !w32codecs [10:36] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [10:36] Hyperi: then implement extra security ;) [10:36] WPA protects against hackers, gordonjcp. [10:36] WEP is insecure. [10:36] If advanced users wanted to snoop / use, WEP is like taking candy from a child [10:36] MindVirus: "crackers", please [10:36] gordonjcp, as you wish. [10:36] wep is fine provided yuo use extra steps to add security [10:36] MindVirus: and no, it does not protect against them [10:36] how possible is it that there are major security flaws in operating systems that were never published and just a single hacker or group of hackers knows about and is able to do serious damage with without anyone knowing? [10:36] gordonjcp: To be even more specific, protects from hackers AND crackers. [10:36] ! [10:36] gordonjcp, it protects against undetermined crackers. [10:36] unless you're doing the full bhuna with an auth server and certificates [10:36] The difference is how they "use their powers" [10:37] Not on what they do [10:37] hskill: high [10:37] Hi. How do I use my guest session? I have gdm-guest-session installed. [10:37] I tried logging in as "guest" without a password but that didn't work. [10:37] MindVirus: WEP can be broken in a couple of minutes, WPA-PSK can be broken in a couple of hours [10:37] MindVirus: why not just create a new user named 'guest'? [10:37] !gdm-guest-session [10:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:37] hskill: not tested software has major security flaws.... [10:37] hello [10:37] ActionParsnip, because it's supposed to already have been built-in. [10:37] MindVirus: I use WEP, because if I used WPA my Nintendo DS among other things wouldn't work [10:37] if it's *important* then I don't use wireless [10:38] And I would like to have the account cleaned every time it is used, ActionParsnip. [10:38] hskill: you just need to find them.....its more security by obscurity what you are talking about.... [10:38] gordonjcp: sure but if you use restricted subnet masks, mac filtering, hidden ssid and no dhcp with a bizarre ip range it makes it a whole lot trickier [10:38] ActionParsnip: hidden SSID isn't a great idea, because it breaks a lot of more simpleminded clients [10:38] ActionParsnip: and in fact, it breaks certain simpleminded APs that happen to fire up on the same channel [10:39] it's wpa and preferably wpa2 or bust [10:39] gordonjcp: works fine here [10:39] just flip the images to any connection not your MAC address. hilarious [10:39] ActionParsnip: you probably haven't got any particularly old wifi kit in production ;-) [10:39] gordonjcp: not sure, nor do i care [10:40] gordonjcp: it works and its pretty locked down, plus i am free to buy wep only wifi cards for linux if needs be [10:40] Can someone here give me a help wifi in my laptop? [10:40] ActionParsnip: I look after one network that's got some >10 year old wifi kit in it ;-) [10:40] ActionParsnip: can't be upgraded to new stuff for various bureaucratic reasons [10:41] Art: state the question not the request [10:41] i've installed ubuntu for good on my laptop, but now, i cant get the wireless connection to work.... can anyone here help me troubleshoot the problem? [10:42] can anyone help me with my display problem, as it is difficult to explain i uploaded screenshots [10:42] Artilheiro, make model of laptop please [10:42] gordonjcp: also try using a more restrictive subnet than /24 [10:42] http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1061195/Help/screenshot01.png [10:42] Artilheiro: at first...make sure your wireless hardware was found [10:42] http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1061195/Help/screenshot02.png [10:42] lspci -network I think [10:42] http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1061195/Help/screenshot03.png [10:42] http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1061195/Help/screenshot04.png [10:42] irmandos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:42] HP Compaq 6710b [10:42] let me run that command darlek [10:42] irmandos: that's one crazy font [10:43] irmandos: looks like an Xorg driver bug [10:43] ActionParsnip: sometimes you need a large subnet [10:43] gordonjcp: coupled with weird ip ranges, like 10.100.10.244/30 gives 2 addresses that are allowed [10:43] irmandos: could be a hardware fault though. some video cards do weird things when their memory goes bad. [10:43] ActionParsnip: yeah [10:43] i have tried nvidia driver ver 173, 177 and now 180 and it does not get better only worse [10:43] gordonjcp: its not too far away from what i use ;) [10:43] darlek that command is not right... [10:43] irmandos: what card is it? [10:43] gordonjcp: then turn off dhcp and its extra secure :D [10:43] ActionParsnip: not so helpful if you've got 300 wifi devices scattered around six APs ;-) [10:43] i have nvidia 6200 [10:44] gordonjcp: then you need 2 subnets [10:44] no, you need one /23 subnet [10:44] irmandos: the 180 works gret here in intrepid and jaunty [10:44] brb [10:44] sorry, try lshw [10:45] i have ubuntu 8.10 nvidia driver 180.11 [10:45] gordonjcp: i'd have a few for 300 clients, like 3 or 4 APs with a seperate subnet, break stuff up a bit [10:45] gordonjcp: but thats me [10:45] irmandos: I'm using 180.51 under 9.04, geforge 6600. works fine for me. [10:45] and well those screenshots where made this morning can anyone plz help [10:45] ActionParsnip: depends on what you're trying to do [10:45] by mistake I had deleted /etc/apt/sources.list from Ubuntu 7.04 ; when I was trying to rename a file as sources.list then it is giving error (I was login as root user) [10:46] it has gone to such extent that if i move my mouse the 'stripes' does not go away anymore they just jump to n new location [10:46] irmandos: so it's been getting worse? [10:46] gordonjcp: true [10:46] Artilheiro, according to google... your laptop has a... Intel 3945 802.11g Wireless [10:47] Ajit: you shouldnt be loggin on as root, it degrades security [10:47] * rabidweezle looks that up with ubuntu...

[10:49] jip its kinda okay when the system starts up only one or two stripes and the longer the pc runs the worse it gets to the extent that the whole screen is covered [10:49] irmandos: is the fan working? [10:49] irmandos: it the system ram healthy? [10:49] irmandos: that just sounds like a hardware fault to me [10:49] jip i have 2 fans and they are both running normally [10:50] irmandos: are the fans facing the right direction? [10:50] I do have the ability to enable the normal desktop affects under System => Preferences => Appearance but the 'stripes' just keeps on coming back wether it is set to effects or no effects [10:50] irmandos: what happens when you logout of X, then back in again, after the PC has been on for a while? do the stripes go away, or come back immediately? [10:51] ... because a logout will restart X, and the video card driver [10:51] there is nothing wrong with the fans i had windows vista on here and it worked without any problems [10:51] irmandos: having fans is good but if they are facing a bad direction they can make the air hotter [10:51] it just comes back whether i log out or use ctrl + alt + backspace [10:52] hi all [10:52] irmandos: are you fully updated? [10:52] !hi | adaw4da [10:52] adaw4da: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [10:52] irmandos: is the system overclocked via bios? [10:52] is the video card overclocked [10:52] jip fully updated system, and no the bois does not support overclocking [10:52] ActionParsnip: hmm, I defined manually everything. Still nothing. === guest4 is now known as sarkonyak [10:53] ActionParsnip: Any place I can see if it actually even connects ? [10:53] nothing is overclocked I use the pc for media editing === sarkonyak is now known as sarkoNYAK [10:53] so no overclocking has been done [10:53] Hyperi: ifconfig; route [10:54] irmandos: sorry, is this a laptop? if so, if you can connect to an external monitor it would verify if it was a linux or hardware screen issue [10:54] ActionParsnip: Says "Destination:192.168.0.0 Gateway: * Genmask: 255.255.255.0 Flags: U Metric: 0 Ref: 0 Use: 0 Iface: ath0" [10:55] no this is a pc [10:55] I have a problem with my network.. A couple of days ago it worked but now it doesn't.. I haven't do nothing of strange.. in the network manager it is all ok, all ip, submask and gateway configured but if I do a ifconfig nothing is setted.. what's wrang with it? [10:55] Hyperi: does the route command show your routers internal ip address [10:55] HELP, i'd done 'sudo update-initramfs -u', but the boot usplash hasn't changed (shutdown usplash has changed) [10:55] !splash [10:55] adaw4da: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [10:55] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [10:55] !usplash [10:55] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [10:56] dang, I had to look that up haha [10:56] ActionParsnip: hmm, the router should be 192.168.0.1 [10:56] uhm ok [10:56] now I try it [10:56] I removed some items from the Applications menu and now when I try to open it it's just one pixel long. How do I restore it? [10:56] idk why it says .0.0 there [10:56] Hyperi: thats the network address [10:57] How do I reset the Applications menu? [10:57] Hyperi: i'd check yuor ip address settings [10:57] no chages.. [10:57] ActionParsnip: I set it as 192.168.0.200 [10:57] *changes [10:57] So it wouldn't collide with others [10:58] Hyperi: and you'll need to set the default gateway [10:59] ActionParsnip: i've done that [10:59] ozzmosis, ActionParsnip, darlek_: Any idees as to what can be wrong with my pc display? [10:59] How do I reset the items to be displayed in the Applications menu in Gnome? I remember there was a file and if you delete it it will reset. [10:59] ActionParsnip: hmm 'man ifconfig' says nothing about it :/ [10:59] karex: thats all i know, i removed all splash sceens, speeds stuff up. [10:59] any ideas? [11:00] hey guys, just recently came back to ubuntu after a long hiatus from it, and i seem to have forgotten how to autostart daemons on boot.

Try the LiveCD and see if it fails? [11:01] thanx darlek_ [11:01] hello.. i' ve got a problem with root login.. well.. i enabled it, and i want to disable it back.. how to do that if someone can help? [11:01] ActionParsnip: did u mean *-artwork-usplash? [11:01] aaa ip route add default via IP :P [11:02] karex: if you remove usplash it does a lot for you. I dont care for eye candy and most of the default OS so i strip most of it out [11:02] hi [11:02] hm all the packge archives for gutsy are gone, WTF ?

[11:06] what does the verve command do then? [11:06] it is sipmlyu a mini-command line plugin [11:06] apropos the action, and you might find a similar command [11:07] so a command line on the menu bar? [11:07] so in the bottom bar you actualle see a text-box [11:07] yup [11:07] right [11:07] yes that exists in ubuntu-gnome [11:07] it's a part of the menus that you can add [11:07] how is it called? [11:07] david_: like tilda? [11:07] ehhhhh [11:08] don['t know tilde [11:08] david_: its a drop down terminal that acts like the Quake / half life / doom tilda terminal [11:08] david_: tilda is really good, i use it on all my non headless boxes [11:08] JesusCake[BoT], [11:08] david_: works alot better then yakuza imo [11:08] right click, add to panel... [11:08] david_: gives you a terminal you can show and hide with a hotkey [11:08] there will be a list [11:09] david_: yakuake is the kde equiv [11:09] david_: only problem i ever have is just getting it thr right size, but you can do that after 2-3 minutes playing with pixel length [11:09] david_: aye yakuake* excuse me. Tilda works fine in kde though [11:10] 10x - I'm trying the various alternatives you've proposed [11:11] david_: if yuo dont like it, you can always uninstall :D [11:11] david_: i really can't recommend tilda enough. it's fantastic, and much less complicated then the borderless aterm alternative. [11:12] i haven't had any updates come through on jaunty for about 2 weeks now... is this correct? [11:13] david_: i can send you a screenshot of tilda in action, might help you figure out if thats what you're looking for === Envy0pla is now known as Pikiora [11:13] Tim183: the last update I saw was for ntpdate [11:13] Tim183: depends what you have installed, I suppose [11:14] guys, is it possible to use dropbox without having to install nautilus? [11:15] cantoma: i think its a dependancy [11:15] what's dropbox? [11:16] ozzmosis: mac idea, allows for a network share where someone can put files in, but can't get files out or see whats there. [11:16] !infodropbox [11:16] !info dropbox [11:16] Package dropbox does not exist in jaunty [11:16] v3trae: ah, sounds a bit like an anonymous ftp inbox .. upload but no download [11:17] ozzmosis: aye, he may mean over a smb share though [11:17] right [11:17] will not i use nvidia 71* series drivers with latest xorg version? [11:17] ozzmosis: have you try google it? [11:18] <^arky^> hi Question: How do you override the $ARCH variable for a particular repo in apt sources.list file [11:18] Hey guys, I installed the rc7 kernel to test intel drivers, but touchpad didnt work on eeepc, so I rolled back to default kernel for jaunty, but now webcam wont work [11:18] any ideas? [11:18] cantoma: anyway, i'm not sure if it's possible. It works in OSX which uses the same mount function as we do, just not sure how to do it. [11:18] liking tilda ;) hadn't used that before [11:18] darlek: its groovy [11:19] darlek: dont forget to put transparency on it (even if it is pseudo) [11:19] darlek: it's fantastic, it's amoung the first things i install on a fresh box, next to compiz,conky,and irssi [11:19] no kidding. I run terminals at startup, so I hadn't giving it a thought in a while [11:19] ewww @ compiz [11:20] darlek: put it in your !startup too so it loads at boot [11:20] ActionParsnip: i'm a sucker for pretty-ness. [11:20] OKOK [11:20] no lie [11:20] lxde > compiz [11:20] ActionParsnip: never heard of it, i'll have to check it out [11:20] !info lxde [11:20] So I installed both - Tilda and Takukae [11:20] !info lxde [11:20] lxde (source: lxde-common): Meta-package for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment.

[11:22] v3trae: but can run gnome apps [11:22] ActionParsnip: yeah i use compiz with gnome, for pretty animations =) [11:22] how can I check my gmail account with "mail" in the console? [11:23] v3trae: not my thing. i want my stuff to happen before ive even thought it rather than wait for a lame anim to finish [11:23] ActionParsnip: works pretty well with kde4 as well, as well as kde4 will let it anyway. [11:23] csaba: you'd need to use fetchmail to pull your gmail messages to a local folder [11:23] ActionParsnip: well it depends on the boxes use, for personal use i like animations, for servers, i'm fine with a terminal frankly [11:24] ActionParsnip: been using gentoo and FreeBSD for servers for so long i don't even see much of apoint to gui's other then workstation use.

(newbie)... hehe [13:26] In the past, I've been unable to remove an application in synaptic because removing the metapackage wouldn't remove its dependencies. I've gathered that aptitude doesn't suffer from such a problem, but aptitude's not as easy. What should a newbie use? [13:27] Jack_Sparrow : installation will ask me for changes in grub at 1st hd ? [13:28] what your impressons about 9.04 version ? [13:28] kenyon: sweet and pretty terminal output: do-release-upgrade. Wondering where to stop, at 8.04, 8.10 or 9.04... [13:28] oDuda, if you are reinstalling over top of the previous ubuntu disk no need to do anything but reinstall grub will be installed automatically and should pick up on the windows disk as well [13:29] oDuda, i9.04 is fine [13:29] oDuda, sorry 9.04 is fine :) [13:29] coz_ nothing to worry about this ? [13:29] oDuda, about the reinstall? no === \\FUH is now known as \fuh [13:29] coz_ yes !!!! thank you ! [13:29] oDuda: and its faster with ext4 [13:30] oDuda, i assume you are going to use the 9.04 install disk correct? [13:30] oDuda YEs, you would use manual partitiong to set one of your ext3 or other linux partitions to mount as /home [13:30] i need shell [13:30] Jack_Sparrow, as a default install? [13:30] hi upgrading to the latest version brought me this error at boot time: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/blablabla does not exists it opened the safety limited shell, any help would be appreciated [13:30] oDuda ext4 may be faster, but since this is the first release of ext4 in ubutnu, I stuck with old reliable ext3 [13:30] coz_ just downloading... ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso [13:31] any advice for a tv-card? [13:31] iv been using ext4 for months already [13:31] oDuda, are you backing up any information from the previous ubuntu? [13:31] coz_ expand on your question, I dont understand it [13:31] !tv | Idhan [13:31] Idhan: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux.

See also !TV-Out [13:31] Jack_Sparrow - yes i avoid newers things not too deep tested :-) [13:32] Jack_Sparrow, i was just curious about your last statement! oDuda YEs, you would use manual partitiong to set one of your ext3 or other linux partitions to mount as /home [13:32] do midi keyboards work out of the box on ubuntu? or wich ones do [13:32] coz_ not from ubuntu - but i cant lost windows data... [13:32] hello all [13:32] coz_ Ok, yes, you can do that as part of a regular full install [13:32] hi strange problem,firefox works but not apt or synaptic...any ideas?? [13:32] oDuda, if you want to save any data from the ubuntu install you have back it up now otherwise it should go well [13:32] hey, I'm running jaunty, and I have an ati radeon hd 3450, running with the fglrx module, in my xorg.conf I have : Option "EnableRandR12" "false" # and I still can't get extended desktop, when I run "aticonfig --dtop=horizontal --overlay-on=1" it writes out the config, but I still only get mirrored displays. Could somebody please help me get my extended, or big, desktop? [13:33] Jack_Sparrow, ok I think he is interested in just a default install over top of previous ubuntu I believe ") [13:33] (Additional info: using xinerama breaks everything) [13:33] coz_ Understood, but it makes sense to setup sep home while he is at it [13:33] I am offering FREE UNIX SHELLS for psyBNC or Eggdrop, anyone interested, contact me [13:33] eurythmia, if no one can help here try #compiz [13:33] coz_ yes but from ubuntu i dont have any important data... i just used it to tests and to apreciate the system...

[14:13] personally i think it has to do with vmi, i'll try disabling it for a bit [14:13] Jack_Sparrow: you are also a nice helper [14:13] :) [14:13] ty [14:13] decepticon, tried virtualbox? it isnt slow as hell like vmware and it works well [14:13] mattsqz ok i will thanks [14:13] kentb: well i installed gcc 4.1 since it is still in the repos, and then i did [14:13] rm /usr/bin/gcc [14:13] ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 /usr/bin/gcc [14:14] freakynl Nothing is so perfect a user cant mess it up, please just ask your question and wait for an answer or try elsewhere === Demonicdata is now known as Seti-high [14:14] xp boots in virtualbox faster than it does installed to the hard drive on my athlonx2 system [14:14] mattsqz hmm interesting [14:14] scales11: so basically you ignored both pieces of advice given to you... [14:14] quick question, can anyone give me specific directions on getting into the recovery console? [14:15] likely because the "hard drive" in virtualbox is loaded into ram [14:15] cadman21, where it says Model, select your second monitor then configure [14:15] winterelf: You don't have a C-Media 4 chnl chipset ?

[14:18] cause that is where i am going [14:19] scales11: The part of the API the module uses has probably changed in recent kernels. Try to find a newer version of the module. [14:19] geirha: which module? [14:19] winterelf: I was just asking because those soundcards might cause problems. But you don't have one on those obviously.

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.

[14:41] freakynl We advise against that as well , use sudo -u or -i [14:41] ok well the problem with using sudo commands is that right now i cant [14:41] Jack_Sparrow: -u? [14:41] Guest42447: why not? [14:41] um, well i somehow changed a bunch of ownerships when trying to solve a different problem [14:41] Guest42447: elaborate on "somehow" [14:41] and so when i type sudo, i get sudo: must be setuid root [14:41] got a new problam though... i have inter x3100 graphic card , but.. when i plugg the VGA output to an outside sceeen it seems to look too big.. and the laptop screen is working too at the same time.. is there any software who specialize in this situation? [14:42] jrib YEa, i know.. -i [14:42] Ok, I understand ... It's understable somehow ... But somehow hiding information is ... well ... as you wish. [14:42] Guest42447: yeah, the sudo binary should be setuid root [14:42] uh am i reading this right,it says i have 9.5 gig swap file?is that normal? [14:42] so how do i change it back [14:42] Guest42447: you could boot from livecd and try to fix that, but if you've messed up too many permissions it may be easier to reinstall [14:43] what worse is i'm using 0% of it as i have 4 gigs of ram. [14:43] Wow, i gotta say im dissapointed in amarok 2 instead of the original. I have to specify 'padsp amarok' to play any music. .cue files seems not to be supported anymore and i cant even find the shuffle button..

[14:43] i think that may be the better option [14:43] anyone have suggestions [14:43] hippo We are not hiding anything, just showing people the best way to use ubuntu. [14:43] Guest42447: and a lesson for the future, be careful with chmod and chown, especially recursively :) [14:43] how can i check and see for sure if i have a swap file and partitions [14:43] seriously! [14:43] jrib: no i am using putty from an xp machine [14:43] jrib: they are from that, i dunno why it sticks them in there [14:43] i try booting from a live cd, but i never get anywhere [14:43] hippo: don't hide information, that's the whole point.

[14:44] !ask | jayadeva [14:44] jayadeva: 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. :-) [14:44] Jack: Ok. I'm sorry. [14:44] Guest42447 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 "--" [14:44] Guest42447: Booting into recovery mode and running "chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo" should fix that particual problem, but you've likely messed up other programs as well [14:44] jayadeva: what is you problem? [14:44] hii [14:44] yea i definitely have [14:44] does anyone here know how i can download msn properly on ubuntu? [14:44] BTW, are you guys aware of that sudo/gconf bug with some programs (like gnome-terminal) ?

You could have been on the web as root user for all we know [16:11] l3ns Read the link on linux virus's [16:11] hello [16:11] Jack_Sparrow: Okay....I will.. [16:11] Hi... how can I restore the old style GDM screen? === Jampiter_ is now known as Jampiter [16:12] can somebody help me with installing ubuntu? =] [16:12] gpowergz: is the problem only audible under linux? [16:13] hello [16:13] chazco To Reset All of Gnome: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ In terminal type: rm -r .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [16:13] Jack_Sparrow - I mean the GDM screen that used to be used... seems to be missing in Jaunty [16:13] no idea [16:13] yesh.. it started just now when i turned onn my computer. it wass fine yesther day. tryed in windows all fine.. [16:13] i have problems with the installation of ubuntu... [16:14] chazco: i think it's available as a theme under gdmsetup. might be mistaken about that. [16:14] sipior - Cant see it [16:14] !ask | mathijs175 [16:14] mathijs175: 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. :-) [16:15] anyone in here have experience with evolutions setup for an exchange server? [16:15] chazco: try "apt-cache search gdm", and look for relevant theme packages. might be there still. [16:15] gpowergz: what changed between yesterday and today? [16:15] Where can i take a PDF of UBUNTU, explaining firsts staps? [16:16] LeoDurans one sec [16:16] I have multiple partitions, and I'm wanting to install Jaunty, but the installer is only letting me select one mount point per partition, is it possible to get /, /boot, and /home on the same partition? [16:16] [Jack_Sparrow]: thank u [16:16] LeoDurans http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html [16:16] Hi All, I can't properly configure my TrackPoint on my IBM R50e. I'm using the xorg.conf for this. Can someone please direct me to the xorg.conf commands reference (Linux newbie here) [16:16] ? [16:16] [Jack_Sparrow]: i will take now. Thank u very much, Jack! [16:16] np [16:17] does anyone know if there is a way to do an http chat room through pidgin? [16:17] Sephiroth: yes. /boot and /home live under /, which is the only required partition. if you don't specify a distinct /home, for example, it will live on the same partition as the rest of /. best to use a separate home partition though, for a number of reasons. [16:17] sipior: well.. nothing as i now it.. the computer wass all fine when i turned it off yestherday.. but not afther restarting the pc a few thimes to test if the sound card wass broken in windows.. nothing.. [16:18] If I rename a partition using ntfsprogs the contents of that partition will be safe right? [16:18] gpowergz: no software updates? [16:18] sipior: Thank you so much for your response. ^_^ [16:19] nothing. the sound sparked at the first startup a few mins ago. [16:19] If I rename a partition using ntfsprogs the contents of that partition will be safe right? [16:19] Which is better currently for Ubuntu Nvidia or Ati ? [16:20] sipior: and the videoplayers in the werbrowser wont load the films.. and the net page wont close >.< [16:20] gpowergz: appears there is more going on than just a sound-card issue. [16:21] sipior: sounds promesing. [16:21] How do I do a forced unmount [16:22] holyguyver: yes, if you're just changing the volume name. still, you have backups, right? [16:22] sipior, there is no way I can back up it as I do not have 1Tb to back it up onto [16:22] sipior: sow.. wath can a noob like me do?.. just to state this.. im ok skilled at problems in windows.. but when it comes to Linux.. my skils raply fails.. [16:22] so, I took my hd from my old laptop to my new one. Most things work out, except the wireless. It seems that the driver is stuck to the old wireless card. Is there a way to reset this? [16:23] holyguyver: if it's not backed up, don't mess with it. [16:23] sipior - Seems like to used to be called human but isnt there anymore, just the new metal one [16:23] holyguyver: terabyte disks are cheap these days, btw. [16:23] sipior, so you are saying that the contents will not be safe? [16:24] gpowergz: might be worth booting with the live cd, and see if the same problem occurs. [16:24] I know the software exists, but does anyone know of a running, usable FOSS search engine? [16:24] sipior, 100$ is not cheap if you have no job & live alone on your own money [16:24] sipior: need to now anny hardware info.. or.. are there some programs to state wats wrong with this? [16:24] Testing - Can anyone here this? [16:24] holyguyver: no, i'm saying it's almost certainly safe. but if something goes wrong, what will you do? [16:24] cheap? it may be 5gb per dollar(or is it better than that now?), but a terrabyte still isn't cheap. [16:25] sipior: oki... and if it does.. wath will it tell me? and wath is it dosnt? [16:25] noone here uses the evolution mail client with and exchange server? [16:25] Hi! I'm trying to use terminal server client on Ubuntu 9.10 to remotely control a windows xp machine over my wlan. When I press connect my XP machine logs out as expected and a window with my desktop appears on my ubuntu machine, but immediately both machines disconnect from the network and I have to restart my modem and router to be able to reconnect them. Does anyone know why? === polyvisual is now known as polyvisual_ [16:25] IHS_Intern: less than a hundred euro hereabouts, last i checked. [16:26] Hi. I've removed /var/lib/mysql and /etc/mysql/. How to force reinstall all the mysql packages? [16:26] backz: have you tried removing them with aptitude, then re-installing? [16:27] holyguyver: also, you were able to afford the first disk, consider making some sort of backup a priority, to insure your current investment. [16:27] sipior, I got the first disk as a christmas gift 2 years ago [16:27] munch13: no. I've used dpkg --purge and apt-get [16:27] holyguyver: well, christmas is coming. [16:28] how could I reinstall ubuntu (delete old settings)... [16:28] sipior, well that doesn't do me much good if I would like to do the relabeling at this moment :p [16:28] holyguyver: is it so urgent? [16:29] have annoying problems with gpodder - deleted episodes appear again - is there any solution? [16:29] what's the room for uds? :) [16:29] sipior, no, but I would rather do it now & take the risk [16:29] backz: aptitude is easy. you'd type something like, 'sudo aptitude remove mysql' If you go ahead and use aptitude to remove any remaining mysql packages, you could then do 'sudo aptitude install mysql' (or whatever the package name is) to put them back on. aptitude will automatically get rid of any dependencies [16:29] Hi, I read on the internet that there will be a project that joins the moblin with ubuntu netbook remix, anyone know anything about this [16:29] hi i have a problem getting wifi working, having moved from 32 bit jaunty to 64 bit jaunty [16:29] http://codepad.org/69MEeyqL [16:29] boss_mc: yeah it seems so, doesn't it? [16:29] iwscan gives strange output [16:29] rythmbox asks a thousand times for a plugin it cannot find - (how) can i turn this off? [16:30] here is the lspci http://codepad.org/rIgaaajG [16:30] boss_mc: my reply is about a half hour late, btw. [16:30] so, I took my hd from my old laptop to my new one. Most things work out, except the wireless. It seems that the driver is stuck to the old wireless card. Is there a way to reset this? [16:30] Spark: what's the issue? [16:31] J_A_X: i guess you could manually install the correct driver, but no idea if there is an automatism [16:31] munch13: the same thing with aptitude. I've reinstalled mysql-common and it doesn't create /var/lib/mysql folder [16:31] hey all. I can't remember how to run a second x session from a tty. I have used this in the past to connect to a remote GUI from ssh but I cant remember it now... [16:31] munch13: it won't connect [16:31] munch13: sometimes it crashes the whole system [16:31] nibbler: i tried doing that, but it's still retaining the old drivers [16:31] munch13: and there's garbage in iwlist output [16:32] munch13: iwlist does give the right cells but there is extra garbage http://codepad.org/69MEeyqL [16:32] it's like if the OS is set to those wireless drivers and that's it [16:32] potentially dumb question - i have a script that is supposed to return a particular response if you perform an http get action on it. if i do 'wget http://locationof/script.cgi' - would that work? [16:32] munch13: and despite using the right key etc i can't seem to associate with my cell [16:32] munch13: nothing interesting in dmesg [16:33] halo === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [16:33] seems no one is seeding hardy heron already =( [16:34] munch13: wondering whether to try doing what's suggested here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=698634 [16:34] raven_: Run gconf-editor (from Alt+F2 or in a terminal), browse to /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/ , try deactivating it there [16:34] does anyone have any ideas why I wouldn't be able to connect to my WPA network with the password on ubuntu 8.04 I keep getting "waiting for network key for the wireless network" [16:34] joining [16:34] munch13: this is a dell vostro 1500 laptop by the way [16:35] Spark: just wondering, but have you tried setting the rate? sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed [16:36] or anything that I could try differently....maybe connecting to the network through terminal? [16:36] backz: are you purging mysql-server, mysql-server-5.0, and mysql-common? [16:36] Is there anny propper site to get sound driver to : ASUS M3N78 motherbord? [16:37] csanda: if you control the network, you might try temporarily disabling WPA; see if you can isolate the problem. [16:37] geirha no that does not help === kb is now known as Guest8755 [16:37] raven_: What plugin is it? Did you install the plugin yourself? [16:37] munch13: will try [16:37] just had to reboot [16:38] i can reliably panic the kernel by attempting to remove iwl3945 [16:38] geirha plugin for any file it cannot play but there is nothing but mp3 and mp3 it can play already [16:38] hi, I'm trying to set up a simple crossover lan cable network between two ubuntu machines, what do I need to file in for address netmask and gateway in the manual eth0 configuration in order to prevent my DHCP wifi from being knocked out [16:38] i'm at work...disabling WPA isn't an option...this is an ubuntu problem...PCs and Macs can connect fine [16:39] csanda: my point was to determine whether the card could connect to an open wireless AP first. WPA support can be dicey under linux (sadly). [16:40] my wep is always available...can't connect ...ubuntu9 [16:40] not sure what you mean by open wireless AP....but I've had no problems connecting to other networks in the past...admittidly I don't think I have ran into a WPA network that i've tried to connect to yet on this PC [16:40] Is there anny propper site to get sound driver to : ASUS M3N78 motherbord? [16:41] spark: i've got to head out for a minute. hope the rate thing works, if not, you could also play around with security on your router and see if that's the issue. there's still a lot of problems with encyprtion and open-source wi-fi drivers. last case, i'd do that link you showed me for re-install [16:41] hi [16:42] csanda, you mentioned password is you wireless set to "WEP 64/128-bit ASCII" in wireless manager ? [16:42] what program does ubuntu use to set the monitor brightness if it can't be set through acpi? [16:42] munch13: it worked in 32 bit ubuntu [16:42] munch13 thanks [16:42] csanda: i meant an AP without access controls. [16:42] i used to use all sorts of wifi systems with the old install [16:42] I have a sound blaster Audigy 2ZS, and for some reason there is no sound working at all with 9.04... I was able to get sound working in 8.10... Not really sure why it isn't working in 9.04 other than kernel drivers not the same and not loading, but they are loaded after looking in lsmod. [16:42] csanda, sorry your using WPA aren't you [16:42] ZykoticK9: yes :( [16:42] csanda, have you tried the other WPA options? [16:42] how do i get gnome terminal to default to 80x43? [16:42] can someone suggest the best way to setup home shares on a server, so that users can go to anny machine, log in and have their desktop anh home files wherever they go ? [16:43] after trying to manually configure and then enabling auto again I was able to just now connect...however i'm not able to get internet or anything [16:43] just not my day for linux on the desktop... [16:43] anyone know of any other mail clients that support exchange besides evoloution? [16:43] there is more than one WPA option in 8.04? [16:43] SpaceBass: Thunderbird FTW [16:43] hipitihop, nfs and have the home directory shared through that. good luck. [16:43] Ratty__: only imap, not exchange :( [16:43] raven_: Hm, do you have a screenshot of the messages you get? [16:44] SpaceBass: Hehe, just use mutt then if you want basic [16:44] didn't say I wanted basic :) [16:44] ZykoticK9: but what I read about nfs, suggests all users across all machines need to have different uid ??? [16:45] SpaceBass: Haha... =) Move to gentoo and setup your own packages to now use anything but IMAP [16:46] now this makes even less sense...i'm connected to the network yet i'm not recieving a ip address...yet it says i'm connected [16:46] hipitihop, ? i haven't ran into that problem with nfs - but I'm not using it for home directories but i don't see why it wouldn't work. best of luck. [16:46] Ratty__: hummm not sure why being on gentoo would make a difference [16:47] hipitihop: All users must have the same uid [16:47] hipitihop: on all nfs clients [16:47] SpaceBass: You can specifiy what dependencies you want to install with the package since your installing the package from source. [16:47] -) [16:48] Ratty__: but the point is there are no linux exchange clients - dependancies or otherwise [16:48] if there were something, I could just eas easily compile on ubuntu [16:48] geirha: that's what I thought, afaik that is less then trivial to achieve, is is there an easy way ? [16:49] hipitihop, when you create the user accounts you can specify a uid, just create the same username / uids on all the machines. [16:49] xorg sometimes seems to redirect mouse input for compiz (shortcuts to rotate cube) to the current window. Any idea how to fix this? [16:49] hipitihop: See the first part of this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [16:49] hi im trying to install xubuntu, but when i click on "places" i don't see my other partitions (in ubuntu i found them there) [16:50] ZykoticK9: tghat makes sense if you knew you were doing this up front... but these machines have been running for a few years === joshthecoder_afk is now known as joshthecoder [16:50] hipitihop, i'd personally recommend against trying to alter the uids of active accounts - could lead to permission issues... best of luck. [16:51] geirha: thanks, is there a way to easily change a users uid and not break all their existing file permissions ? [16:52] hi all, i originally installed kubuntu, but now i want to try gnome rather than kde, i did install a packet named "gnome" and some stuff that came with it, is that all or should i install other stuff as well so i have the full package from a typical ubuntu install ? [16:52] ZykoticK9: geirha: is there no other way on linux ? surely there is a more secure way using ublic/private keys or something then UID's ? [16:52] ghoulsblade, ubuntu-desktop [16:53] hipitihop: it's not exactly "easy", but you can run something like this: find / -uid $OLDUID -exec chown $NEWGID {} \; [16:53] eurythmia, thanks =) [16:53] how can i do to see my local drives in "places" useing xubuntu [16:53] whats the default folder for stuff that you want to share globally in your network? I want to have 1 folder thats accessible via samba, nfs and ftp. [16:53] ghoulsblade, no problem :) [16:54] Hola que tal [16:54] ok, while that's downloading : in kde i could hold the alt key to move and resize windows with the mouse by clicking on any place within the window, not neccessarily the border or so, can i do that in gnome too and how do i set it up ? [16:54] hipitihop: most places that run nfs also use ldap or nis (ick) for centralised authentication. how many machines are you dealing with, and roughly how many users? [16:55] hi [16:55] there [16:55] hi [16:55] i need a network moniter gadget [16:55] hola que tal XD [16:55] benovic1, there is no 'default' fold that shares across SMB/NFS/FTP - but you could set those servers up and have them point to the same folder and watch the mayhem begin ;) [16:55] so, I took my hd from my old laptop to my new one. Most things work out, except the wireless. It seems that the driver is stuck to the old wireless card. Is there a way to reset this? [16:56] xorg sometimes seems to redirect mouse input for compiz (shortcuts to rotate cube) to the current window. Any idea how to fix this? === section31 is now known as AdmiralNDP [16:56] sipior: it is a home environment with 6 workstations, also have a NAS, and want to put the home drives on the nas...would hate to have to use cifs/smb [16:57] I downloaded 9.04 i386 burnt it to a dvd but it will not work, can this normally be done to a DVD ? [16:57] ZykoticK9: haha, ty! so where in the filesystem would be a reasonable spot to place the mayhem folder? /var/shared ? /home/shared ? [16:57] sipior: sorry forgot the users, same 6 [16:58] hi all, i'm trying to switch over to gnome from kde/kubuntu, in kde i could hold the alt key to move and resize windows with the mouse by clicking on any place within the window, not necessarily the border or so, can i do that in gnome too and how do i set it up ? [16:58] Hello [16:58] hi [16:58] hipitihop: You could look into sshfs too [16:58] grayhane, yes... it should work.... === Ratty__ is now known as Ratty [16:58] ghoulsblade, the alt key window resize thing is an Xorg thing - independed of WM or Environment - so it works in Gnome / Fluxbox / whatever [16:59] :) [16:59] hi there [16:59] geirha: looking [16:59] benovic1, it's up to you man... put the mayhem folder where you'd like it - /home/shared might be a good place to start though [16:59] has anyone had any issues with your mouse stopping in the middle of the screen(similar to if it had reached the edge of a screen) [16:59] Kalmi it gets to the first screen and then tells me disk error, should I download a new iso or reburn this one to another dvd ? I cannot even check the disk [17:00] does anyone know what ubuntu will do if it can't find /usr at boot time? [17:00] ooooo [17:00] ZykoticK9: allright! thanks! i'll do it! [17:00] i am using ubuntu since a few days and i cant get my SPDIF-output working. analog-out works great. any suggestions? i am using onboard sound of an ASUS P5N7A [17:00] alsuren, i'd imagine it would boot - but many things would be broken... [17:00] grayhane, md5 check your download and burn a new one [17:01] I have nothing to do. [17:01] asuslive, seems like something is grabbiung the mouse.... [17:01] asuslive, *grabbing [17:01] Kalmi, thanks , now do I md5 check this iso ? [17:01] there are many people who will now. [17:02] anyone who knows about usb modems?= [17:02] hipitihop: shouldn't be hard to synchronise so few users. decide on the new uids, edit, /etc/passwd and then use chown -R to set the ownership of existing files. one thing to be careful about: sudo will get confused if a user in the admin group changes uid. be sure that you always have a valid sudo user. consider temporarily activating the root account on each machine until you have verified that the "new" account can make use of sudo. [17:03] sipior, Alright I relabeled it & everything is fine :) . [17:03] : O [17:03] grayhane, there are a lot of software to that... just google md5 sum or md5 check and you will find a lot... [17:03] grayhane, and compare the md5 sum of the iso to the one on the website [17:04] holyguyver: good. remember, disks fail all the time. if you get complacent about it, it will come back to bite you. some friendly advice, acquired through painful experience. === zaggynl_ is now known as zaggynl [17:04] ZykoticK9 : thanks, i had it on alt key in kde, there was some config dialog to set the key there, but it seems to be turned off in gnome =\ [17:04] Kalmi, thanks for the help [17:05] does ubuntu server has firewalls enabled when you just install it [17:05] ghoulsblade, try alt+middle mouse in Gnome [17:05] does anybody know how to create a home folder in ubuntu on a windows domain???

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [17:12] I just arrived [17:13] mathijis175: what do you mean 'they didn't work' [17:13] hipitihop: it's worth it if you find yourself logging into other machines often. ldap can be annoying to set up, and becomes a central point of failure in your network (if the ldap server is down, no one can log in). i use it, but it's a matter of taste, and how tightly you want your network machines to be interconnected. you can probably get by with a simple script to push /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to the other machines. password changes are awkward t [17:13] i cant install ubuntu with them, they both stop the installation [17:13] pici: sorry [17:14] you receive an error?

[17:21] is remote access enabled by default on ubuntu 9.04? [17:21] black_l: it should, you would likely need to enable restricted drivers [17:21] Black_L, try installing envyng, it does have ati&nvidia driver download help [17:21] It's an Intel chipset === YUKI is now known as wet-chan [17:21] mib_7nxfhl: define remote access, do you mean ssh ? [17:22] I don't know anything about their chipsets and i fear for the worste trying to find their GPU drivers [17:22] yes hipitihop im at work and i want to control it remotely [17:23] mib_7nxfhl: ssh is not enabled by default. however can easily enable by installing the openssh server. be aware of security issues with ssh [17:24] lawl, but im at work now so i am out of luck? [17:24] hi all, i'm just trying to switch over from kde to gnome, i'm using a few small dockapps for displaying net-traffic,top processes etc, in gome they have a much too big border, is there a way to get around that problem without using different dockapps ? [17:24] mib_7nxfhl: I assume you have a router at home so you'd also have to make sure it allows you in [17:24] i do not, it is a 3G modem [17:26] mib_7nxfhl: it is still likely to hav a firewall and if not, then your machine. anyway sounds like you know enough to get past those issues too [17:26] does any1 know if its possible to install that cool jaunty-libnotify-osd on other distros too? like fedora or gentoo? [17:26] hipitihop: i dont have firewall enabled on my machine. [17:26] mib_7nxfhl, most residential isp's block ports 22,23,80 so having ssh listen to another port is required [17:27] and yeah i could forward ports etc [17:27] bastidrazor: its not residential [17:27] hi , how can i download all "ubuntu studio" packages on 9.4, as a bundle ? [17:27] does anyone have a Radeon HD 3100/3200 running fine with hdmi out? under 8.10 or 9.04? with member:ubuntu drivers or catalyst? [17:27] mib_7nxfhl: so your machine is totally exposed to the internet ? [17:28] mathijs: are you installing dualboot? [17:28] basically. lol. [17:28] hello. ubuntu has a problem [17:28] safruhani: just go into synaptic and check everything ubuntu-studio [17:28] ok thiebaude thanks [17:28] your welcomed, safruhani [17:28] safruhani, ubuntustudio-desktop is the package [17:28] i have created tar gz archive from files saved by title from internet. [17:29] thay have utf-8 letters in names [17:29] no dakam, i am not dualbooting, the harddisk is empty [17:29] bazhang: thanks my friend [17:29] i have then unarchived it with winrar in win xp and it unarchived it as one byte encoding. [17:29] is this a new hd? [17:30] it is an older one, only 20 gyg [17:30] tar gz does not say that file names in it utf-8? [17:30] is there an alternative gmail notifier? [17:30] mib_7nxfhl: sounds scary, I'd recommend configuring your firewall or something like firestarter or whatever is the norm on ubuntu for easy admin to lock you machine down as much as possible. [17:30] even if it does not say, winrar would ask me [17:30] hi all, i'm just trying to switch over from kde to gnome, i'm using a few small dockapps for displaying net-traffic,top processes etc, in gome they have a much too big border, is there a way to get around that problem without using different dockapps ? [17:30] could ask [17:30] so problem is in winrar too [17:31] hi [17:31] if you want a very good firewall check this http://web.archive.org/web/20050421015503/lfw.sourceforge.net/ [17:31] is there a better alternative to apt-cacher ? [17:31] so due to the ATI driver issue I am going to be reinstalling an older version of Linux. what do yall think should I go back to the LST or will I still be able to get security updates for 8.10. Ir should I think about just going with debain linux instead? [17:31] hey all, im trying to install through apt-get the Sun version of JDK, however after i do apt-get install ..., and do java -version i get the OpenJDK... whats going on? [17:32] it's an old project, but is very good === Swiatecki is now known as swiatOFF [17:33] kirkz: maybe you need to do something like apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [17:33] evening all [17:33] * hipitihop nods at wildc4rd [17:34] Ok. I have had enough [17:34] uuu [17:34] welcome aboard [17:34] I do not know enough about linux. I hate to move to Gatesville, [17:34] mathijs: can you run sudo fdisk -l and pm me the log? [17:34] i tried zip archive [17:35] it also does not work [17:35] Is there any easy way to get my GPU drivers going? [17:35] how do i run that? im new in ubuntu :P [17:35] kirkz: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-904-jaunty.html [17:35] I do not know enough about terminal or programming to get this ATI intergrated Video Motherboard to stop hangning [17:35] how can i pack file names so that windows can open them? [17:35] !nvidia | Black_L [17:35] Black_L: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:35] erUSUL : Intel [17:35] im download ubuntu 9.04. It have some issue ? [17:36] Black_L: they are installed by default no need to install anything more [17:36] Then why is it stuck on 800x600... [17:36] That is the new question [17:36] qdb: most archive programs anderstanf tar.gz you can use rar or zip [17:36] !rar [17:36] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [17:36] oDuda: whats wrong? [17:37] http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.HTML [17:37] oDuda: I have been using it since it came out with no issues, but that probably does not mean anything and dpends on your hardware [17:37] erUSUL, windows opened both tar gz and zip wrongly [17:37] hi all, i'm just trying to switch over from kde to gnome, i'm using a few small dockapps for displaying net-traffic,top processes etc, in gome they have a much too big border, is there a way to get around that problem without using different dockapps ? [17:37] you can find there the drivers [17:37] for your ati [17:37] qdb: a windows problem ? the archive got corrupted ? [17:37] tar gz i opened with winrar and zip tried just now with windows built in archiver [17:37] mathijs open up terminal [17:37] need help badly. [17:37] yes, file names are not correct [17:37] virus! [17:37] qdb: i have never had any issues with archives created in linux [17:38] now i try 7z [17:38] thiebaude: somebody says that Kubuntu 9.04 has some issue... but hipitihop had answer me too... thanks ! [17:38] Hi. I am trying to get my wg111t wireless dongle adapter to work in Ubuntu. I've done it before, but it does not seem to be working this time. I've installed the drivers through ndiswrapper, and it tells me that the device is present. However, when I go to the top right of my screen to connect to a network, the wireless portion says "device not managed".... any ideas? [17:38] yw [17:38] thie ty [17:39] Hello Guys, I had a hardware issue with one of my laptops not wanting to run 8.10. The Intel AHCI driver would not support running 8.10 in enhanced mode, so the only way I had to run 8.10 meant turning a setting in my bios from enhanced to compatible mode and that would have meant reinstalling Vista from scratch, so I passed on that. Now it's a new day --->9.04 & I want to know if the Intel AHCI driver has been included in Jaunty. Doe [17:39] new to linux but love it already, does anyone know how to unrar a lagrge package? [17:39] i did [17:39] hipitihop hows about performance ? boot time ? some significant difference ? [17:39] i have the log [17:39] @rootvirus default archive manager shoudl do .rar i think [17:39] when i start frox, i get error "Starting frox: caching ftp proxy server: disabled", how do i enable it ? [17:39] OH [17:39] hi again.. [17:40] rootvirus: you'll need to install the package unrar as well [17:40] Anyone know how i could get a decent GUI on Ubuntu? The Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and default GUIs are all horrific... [17:40] Just right click > extract. Should work.. [17:40] $ man unrar :) [17:40] ok [17:40] rootvirus: aptitude install unrar; unrar e $file [17:40] is there a function in hardy heron that is like restore in windows? [17:40] where do i get it [17:40] ? [17:40] Or as nibbler said... [17:40] !wm [17:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about wm [17:40] install unrar and rar utility for bash line [17:40] !window managers [17:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about window managers [17:40] l3ns: apt-get remove -purge and reinstall? [17:40] Black_L: get openbox =) [17:40] oDuda: indeed, not that one has to boot too often ;-) ... I was impressed the other day, I managed to do a full install of 9.04 onto a usb flash drive and boot from it. considering usb is slow I thought 75 seconds on an old laptop was impressive [17:41] !openbox [17:41] openbox is a lightweight window manager.

To replace metacity with Openbox please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReplaceMetacityWithOpenbox [17:41] ban removal time! [17:41] Spec: i see it coming [17:41] lol [17:41] Thanks [17:41] oDuda: obvioulsy normal boot fom hdd much faster and so is shutdown [17:42] uh oh. i take back that lol :-p [17:42] oDuda: what are you comparing to ? [17:42] hrmph, LP is sad today [17:42] oDuda: are you using ext4? [17:43] nibbler: what does it do? [17:43] I got some olf P4s, and just processors... which is going to be a better idea to use, a 2.4ghz with 512kb l2 cache, or 2.8ghz with 128kb cache..the 2.4 is branded as a P4, the 2.8 as a celeron. [17:43] good afternoon, folks. is there a way to get the find gui to show me its underlying commands? it would be nice to have a find gui that could act as a tutor in doing the same on the command line. i remember there was something i used in red hat more than a decade ago to do this in a roundabout way. any thoughts? [17:44] l3ns: deinstalls and reinstalls software. totally useless btw in most cases, whats your problem? [17:44] Guys, does anyone know if 9.04 supports the Intel AHCI driver & if not where is the simpliest way to findout? [17:44] IHS_Intern: the p4 with more cache is preferable in my opinion [17:44] Quagmire: google is probably the fastest way to find out. [17:44] hi all, i'm just trying to switch over from kde to gnome, i'm using a few small dockapps for displaying net-traffic,top processes etc, in gome they have a much too big border, is there a way to get around that problem without using different dockapps ? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [17:44] IHS_Intern: i second that [17:44] Quagmire: it does; ahci is supported by linux since a long time [17:44] IHS_Intern: my guess would be the one with better l@ cache [17:44] I am having issues installing j2ee. I have download the bin file but when I run it, I am missing libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3. I have tried to apt-get it, but apt-get cant find the package. what am I doing wrong??? [17:44] 7z is opened correctly by winrar but with lot of messages, i stopped it. [17:45] Detrix: install from the repos [17:45] erUSUL, thanks, I was wondering if the .4ghz could make up for it. [17:45] i will try 7zip program [17:45] !java | Detrix [17:45] Detrix: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [17:45] server irc.arrakis.es [17:45] IHS_Intern: its not much difference [17:45] IHS_Intern: more memory is allways better than more speed [17:45] no no no J2EE enterprise edition sdk [17:46] !info sun-java6-jdk [17:46] sun-java6-jdk (source: sun-java6): Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 6.

[17:46] hi pici [17:46] Spec with all due respect ...what type of search should I do? I've tried several things, but I'm not sure what is the best way to search for it [17:46] jamiejackson, I don't think there is. but there are quite a few good tutorials on find you could use to learn it, like this one. http://mywiki.wooledge.org/UsingFind [17:46] * Pici waves [17:46] hipitihop (about ubuntu performance) thanks, youre right impressive time to boot (i promisse i will not talk about windows time) LOL [17:46] nibbler: my hardy heron just acted so weird [17:46] So, who is responsible for the patching of X.org in Ubuntu? [17:47] Hi. I'm trying to connect to the internet on my desktop computer. For some reason, the default network manager is telling me that my devices are "unmanaged".... how do I fix this? [17:47] l3ns: there is no snapshots, unless you took them... (fs snapshots are supported depending on used fs) [17:47] oDuda: rofl [17:47] yeah, i'm aware of that route, unop, thx. there was a way, i'll find it eventually :) [17:47] l3ns: most likely its your userconfig that is broken, try to login as different user and see if things behave better [17:47] Joeseph, have you tried to set a static ip? [17:48] thiebaude im just downloading now... but at night ill install ext4 (as you mentioned before) at a sata 1 hd... [17:48] ZykoticK9: I have in the past..... do I need to disable that or something? [17:48] How does one delete everything associated with evolution? When I delete my account, and apt-get purge, it still seems to be remembering things... [17:48] hmmmm. thanks... [17:48] nibbler: when I go to systems->preferences->sessions, it wont continue to load....my firefox has been corrupted, same with other applications [17:48] porter1, purge does not delete anything from a user's home directory [17:48] Quagmire: no idea, but that'll be the easiest ;) [17:48] Joeseph, check your /etc/network/interfaces file - if you see something about your Wireless i'd try and remove it and see what happens [17:48] Titan8990, I even deleted the .evolution folder [17:49] porter1, home directory will contain hidden folder that store user specific things such as evolution settings [17:49] Quagmire: do you know the name of the driver? [17:49] porter1, then settings are stored somewhere else under ~ [17:49] porter1, so what kind of stuff is 'remembered'? [17:49] porter1, .gnome2 maybe [17:49] Spec: If you're looking to talk to the devs they're probably in #ubuntu-x, although with UDS this week they may not be around. [17:49] hmmm [17:49] when i start frox, i get error "Starting frox: caching ftp proxy server: disabled", how do i enable it ? [17:49] 7zip opened correctly [17:49] l3ns: if you dont have backups you cant restore. yet i recommend you to setup a new user and see if the prblem persists. if it is gone, its a problem with your user config which is saved in the .* files in your homedir [17:49] Pici: hmm, well, i kinda wanna remove an ubuntu-specific patch from xorg-server and see if it fixes a problem I'm seeing [17:50] but iamges form _files folder are not shown [17:50] nibbler: Okay, I will try setting a new account now... [17:50] !boot sector [17:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about boot sector [17:50] porter1, find /home/unop/.g[cn]* -iname "*evolution*" -exec rm -rif {} \; [17:51] pici; but the patch fixed a very important bug :( [17:51] porter1, err. find ~/.g[cn]* -iname "*evolution*" -exec rm -rif {} \; [17:51] ahh, found one unop. here's one that seems more straightforward than the roundabout way i used to do it http://www.kbrandt.com/2008/06/pygnomefind-gui-frontend-to-gnu-find.html [17:51] ZykoticK9: There's stuff there about my wireless, but it doesn't have any information about ip addresses or anything. Should I remove it anyway? === Steffy is now known as Rheffy [17:51] unop: -if? [17:51] jamiejackson: neat === Dalila_ is now known as Dalila [17:52] #ubuntu-nl [17:52] Joeseph, if you see wireless in that file i think that's why it's "not managed" in network manager - i'd back the file up and try removing the wireless stuff - then reboot and see if NM then picks it up. [17:52] hipitihop one best things over the world is to see a free system doing impressives things against that (better) paids systems... [17:52] hey there Dalila [17:52] because they are thus way: ="%D0%A1%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0%20%D0%9D%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B96_files/dot.gif ms ie 8 does not open them! that is saved with firefox [17:53] nibbler: i will be back in a while, i need to restart it to re login, almost everything is corrupted [17:53] Spec, man rm ? [17:53] unop: aren't they conflicting options? [17:53] eurythmia :) [17:53] ZykoticK9: AH! Somewhere in the middle I got internet! I saw the weather in my gnome panel! but now it's gone.... I don't feel like restarting my pc, but I can if I need to. What's the command to reload the network manager? [17:53] hey eurythmia [17:54] oDuda: sure is, no looking back for me...anyway must get some sleep. good luck [17:54] Dalila, sorry, couldn't help myself ;) [17:54] Spec, one prompts for your acceptance, the other forces removal .. I don't see how something could conflict here. [17:54] hipitihop nice talk ! nice sleep ! [17:54] ZykoticK9: Well, never mind. network Manager still says I'm unmanaged, but I'm connected somehow! [17:54] eurythmia couldn't help yourself to say "hey" ? [17:54] Joeseph, not sure but you could try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [17:54] hello! I need help with the syntax of unrar. I have lots of rars in a folder, in groups of 2 parts. for example file01-part1.rar file01-part2.rar file02-part1.rar file02-part2.rar and so on. I want to unrar them all at once. I use unrar x file*part1.rar and it doesn't work, how do I proceed? [17:54] unop: -f is 'never prompt' as well [17:54] hello, where can i download and install adobes flash player for 64bit ? [17:54] !flash [17:54] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [17:55] nah, thats not it [17:55] pmratpoison: unrar e should work [17:55] Dalila, "... what's it like in New York City? ... I'm a thousand miles away, but girl ..." etc, etc ... :P [17:55] Yay. I'm connected now. Thanks ZykoticK9. [17:55] hola [17:55] pmratpoison, i don't think you'll be able to use * in that manner, you'd need a do-loop i think. [17:55] Hi [17:56] hi knoppix__ [17:56] eurythmia hehe, thank you for saying "hey" anyway [17:56] pmratpoison: for file in file*part1.rar; do unrar x "$file"; done [17:56] pmratpoison, what is it exactly the command u using [17:56] Dalila, no prob, I enjoy greets to pseudo-random people :) [17:56] pmratpoison: you need a for loop.... for i in $(ls *part1.rar); do unrar e $i; done [17:56] oshua86: scroll up [17:56] I think I read the word "girl" somewhere [17:56] how it's going? [17:56] eurythmia that was cool, see you :) [17:57] nibbler: don't loop the output of ls [17:57] nibbler, for i in *part1.rar; do ... # using ls like that is error prone [17:57] what, going somewhere? [17:57] Spec, sorry I missed your reply. I'm not posotive, but I think its just simply an Intel AHCI driver that is the issue. I was told a while back I figured I would wait until 9.04 showed and then look to see if it had been added, but I'm not sure where to look for it. [17:57] whoah, lots of conflicting info at once! I'll read the do manual and proceed [17:58] question please: does ubuntu 8.04 (or above) have a driver for nvidia? I just upGraded from 7.10 to 8.04. There was a problem with display. With ubuntu 7.10 I had to use the driver from nvidia web site (nothing else works). [17:58] geirha: his filenames look clean! :D [17:58] mmm4m5m: Which Nvidia device? [17:58] pmratpoison, i use rar -e [17:59] Joeseph: 9600 graphic card (not sure about all details) [17:59] pmratpoison: unrar x should work. where is the filename for the first part. The rest of the parts will be picked up automatically [17:59] oshua86: what is e option? [17:59] nibbler: But using an external command to do something the shell has built-in is a bit of a waste [17:59] nibbler, yes, he'll keep using your construct until the day they aren't .. and that could potentially be errm, surprising/devestating. === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [17:59] pmratpoison, extract files to current directory [17:59] aa3b: I know, I just have lots of multipart rars and I don't wanna do it 70 times [17:59] ok geirha unop i agree [17:59] * eurythmia loves having 2 monitors at work [17:59] Spec I do know that 8.10 refused to allow me to use the cd/dvd drive and someone figured outthat it was the setting in the BIOS needed to be turned from enhanced to compatible [18:00] pmratpoison: then looping is a good idea :) === sysdoc_ is now known as sysdoc [18:00] Joeseph: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1)" [18:00] although, the friggin' amd catalyst control centre, and fglrx module, are totally messed up [18:00] hi [18:00] nibbler: It does not let me log in using other user account [18:00] oshua86: it says "No files to extract" anyway, I'm thinking of doing a loop, because I think it's a good idea to get used to console-fu [18:00] mmm4m5m, you can use the program "jockey" to enable nvidia drivers. [18:00] Spec the only problem was I would have to reinstall Vista from scratch and that didn;t appeal to me [18:00] nibbler: it says "your session only lasted less than 10 seconds....." [18:00] whats the best suported gpu for ubuntu jaunty? [18:01] aa3b: man for and man do should be sufficient, no? [18:01] alfacat, why, are you buying a new video card specifically for jaunty? [18:01] pmratpoison: you'll find info about looping in man bash [18:01] yes [18:01] aa3b: ok thnx [18:02] pmratpoison, do man pages for "do" or "for", search google for bash for loop or something similar [18:02] pmratpoison, sorry "no man pages..." [18:02] Hi all [18:02] l3ns: i'd think of reinstalling the system, keepng the homedir should make it quick+easy [18:02] eurythmia I'm building a new box, for jaunty [18:02] ZykoticK9: yeah, just realised [18:02] alfacat, I suspect that some of the newer nvidia cards are best. Intel is good, but it's somewhat behind at the moment because the rendering engine is being switched over to UXA which may lead to stability issues ... stay as far away from ATI as you can. [18:02] pmratpoison: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/loops1.html [18:02] pmratpoison: the basic syntax however is for i in arg1 arg2..; do command $i; done.. $i will take the values of the args [18:02] Quick question, I'd like to make a desktop shortcut to tintin++ which runs via console. How can I make it bring up the console and run tt++? [18:03] eurythmia: I have nvidia drivers here and usually I need to manually run and rebuild modules (after update linux headers). This is what I did with ubuntu 7.10. This time it say "failed" but after reboot (second reboot after upGrage) it start working. [18:03] alfacat, this is all pretty generic advice, but I'm a generic kind of guy. Hope I've helped a bit. [18:03] yay!!!! thnx for the info, I think I got it now [18:03] BiosElement, there is a "run in console" option [18:03] eurythmia: will check that program.. just not sure if it is ok now [18:04] nibbler: I haven't reinstalled my hardy I don't know how it's done so that I won't lose my important files.... [18:04] xorg sometimes seems to redirect mouse input for compiz (shortcuts to rotate cube) to the current window. Any idea how to fix this? [18:04] eurythmia, you did, maybe you could sugest one with 3D support [18:04] mmm4m5m, jockey takes care of the configuration. [18:04] l3ns: hmm ok... i dont want to advise you on this, dont want to be responsible if you lose anything :) anyway, you should have backups of all relevant data... [18:04] BiosElement, actually perhaps that isn't an option anymore :( you could use something like "xterm -e " type thing [18:05] ZykoticK9, Aight. [18:05] l3ns: hardisks go broke without warning [18:05] alfacat, well, the Intel and newer nvidia cards have good 3d support. If you're going for high performance, you'd probably best stick with nvidia. [18:05] BiosElement: you'll need to launch the terminal program before tt++. something like "xterm tt++" should work. what terminal program are we using anyway? [18:05] eurythmia: ok then... I was thinking like ubuntu driver is there that is why nvidia rebuild failed, etc,etc. Anyway. Thank you!! [18:05] nibbler: and I've been looking around the net seems no one is seeding 8.04 anymore..

[18:06] connected via ppp0 with a 3G connection, is there a command to see whether i am connected via GPRS or UMTS? [18:06] Please help [18:06] nibbler: is it worth it? [18:06] what is the latest flash version? [18:06] Vinceman: I think its 10 [18:06] nibbler: is there a big difference from that of 8.04? [18:06] BiosElement: just prepend the terminal program's name before tt++. gterm? or xterm -e tt++ should work. [18:07] alfacat, how can I check to see if I'm compatible with it? [18:07] aa3b Yep, That did the trick. Thanks [18:07] Jaunty with ati hd 3200. Installed fglrx from synaptics, didn't work so uninstalled it now I have glxgears fps at 32 or less.

Can someone help me with my networking issue? [18:07] Vinceman: what flash are you talking about? [18:07] How can I have gnome-do dock at the top of screen, not bottom [18:08] Adobe Flash? [18:08] nibbler: I'd take that upgrading is different from reinstalling, right? [18:08] I have an intrepid->jaunty regression failure: network manager to a cisco vpn: wholly stable in intrepid, reliably drops after 1h in jaunty. googling + rtfm no help. hints? [18:08] Vinceman: the last version is 10, you are "compatible", dont worry :D [18:08] alfacat, go here (http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_family.html) and look at the 8 and 9 series for specs ... when you find one you like, google for " + linux" and that should give you a good idea if that card has support yet.

Unless you really need 3d acceleration on a single head setup, you'd be better off using the radeon or radeonhd drivers. [18:10] Well, for once I get on here for a reason that ISNT I have a problem!

[18:14] <^biNuN_giRL^> kkkki [18:14] chaos2fu: for example, some of the graphics card drivers will not (or historically haven't) work with -server [18:14] mib_wh8kor1g: u cant make gnome-do dock at the top [18:14] eurythmia: I uninstalled fglrx still the same thing. [18:14] mathijs175, you need to check you CD (via MD5), I/O error means it can't copy the file - either from the CD or onto you HD [18:14] eurythmia: Was a lot better before installing and uninstalling it. [18:15] i checked the cd 4 times zykitic [18:15] GEDIT don't want to autodetect encoding of text files.And all is opening with UTF-8. How to normalize autodetect of encoding?

[18:59] anyone watch american pie 2 the other day [18:59] mib_ifivh2qk: hold the SHIFT key when deleting [18:59] is it normal [18:59] zleap: thats offtopic. if you wanna chat please see #ubuntu-chat [18:59] bwild, find / foobar # descends into / and foobar if it is present [19:00] oops it was in the wrong chat channel sorry [19:00] mib_ifivh2qk, deleteing (rm) things from the command line skips the trash altogether, but be careful :) [19:00] Blime: i know that :P i mean like delete key just does that not having to hold shift key, like in windows i set it up to not move htings to trash just permanently delete [19:00] mib_ifivh2qk: ah, like the group policy [19:00] ZykoticK9: :D well is there a way to do it in nautilius with it and not pressing SHift? [19:01] Hi [19:01] Blime: not exactly i didnt even have to mess with group policy in windows all i did was right click the recycle bin and select permanently delete in windows [19:02] I want to run the webcam capture program "motion" on my server. On my laptop with Ubuntu, I can set motion to use /dev/video0, however on my server, that device has not been created. I need to know what /dev path belongs to my USB device. http://pastebin.com/m384f710f [19:03] how can i see which graphic driver im currently using? [19:04] chaos2fu, glxinfo [19:04] what is the point of displaying public IP's when entering the chat room? [19:04] ixpl, it is your irc client doing that, you can set most clients to not display them [19:05] that'll make you think twice about flaming won't it? :') [19:06] how do you set that in pidgin? [19:06] tank-man, actually it's the server doing it -- you need a cloak to 'hide' yourself [19:06] Hello, the updates do not work, message is w. we failed to fetch, over and over, I have a BIOS error and am having problems re-installing, any suggestions? [19:06] I'm trying to mount /usr on an sd card, but I'm finding that the device file /dev/sdb2 isn't being created if the sd card isn't in the slot at boot time [19:06] what might be missing? [19:06] unop: the client can hide the parts joins quits ;-) [19:06] those are 2 different issues, hiding your ip and showing joins/parts [19:07] alsuren, are you sure you want to be moving /usr ? why? [19:08] alsuren, the sd card might be missing :) [19:08] ixpl, you wanting to hide your ip address from others or hide all the join/part messages in the channel? [19:08] ZykoticK9: on an eeepc, there's not enough space to dist-upgrade otherwise [19:08] hide my ip [19:08] thanks [19:08] ixpl, in that case you need a cloak- http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [19:09] ixpl, you can also ask the folk in #freenode about it [19:09] tank-man: what's the process of adding the device file? [19:09] alsuren, um not a bad idea - but it's certainly going to cause some issues - the /dev/sdX are only going to show up when the drive is present! you wouldn't be able to use your SD slot for anything else - and you'd always need the /usr SD card in the slot... [19:10] hello what does this mean: server glx vendor string: SGI [19:10] I have an ATI card [19:10] how is the vendor string not fglrx or ati? [19:10] djdarkman, but i don't think you have the ATI drive installed - it's probably running VESA [19:11] ok, but compiz is running [19:11] but mplayer runs horribly [19:11] djdarkman, SGI stands for Silicon Graphics - an old *nix company [19:11] alsuren, usually they get automatically created by hald or udev i think. if you want to make it manually you use the command mknod i think [19:11] ZykoticK9: I'm trying to do some tests [19:11] burning a cd goes slooooow [19:12] I know, but if I understand correctly it should be Mesa [19:12] alsuren, sorry man i didn't see the important "dist-upgrade" part... so you're not trying to use this all the time then - makes more sence. [19:12] new comer [19:13] msafos [19:13] ZykoticK9: but on the other hand, it *should* be possible to do it perminantly [19:14] alsuren, yes with the your SD slot will be unusable issue [19:14] ZykoticK9: that's completely fine. I don't have more than one SD card [19:14] alsuren, find out the kernel modules needed to use the sd slot and make an initrd.img with those so you can mount the sd card at bootup [19:15] tank-man: it *already* works at boot-up [19:15] ok, so you need to alter your fstab to have the sd card mounted at ... was it /usr you wanted? === LoRez is now known as L [19:16] but I want to make sure that I'm covered if my SD card fails or something [19:16] here is a dumb questions, does anyone know the web address for that company that drives around the little white vans that saya MOM ??? [19:16] you mean making backups ? [19:16] web cam problems [19:16] and what I've found is that a) sudo is kept in /usr by default, so it's had to be moved out [19:16] alsuren, if you SD card fails your going to lose the /usr directory - make a backup??? === darlek___ is now known as darlek [19:17] and b) the device nodes aren't being made, and I'm wondering if udev is relying on something in /usr or something horrible [19:17] alsuren, your going to have to copy your current /usr to the SD card for this to work! [19:17] I got my CD to start in Vbox but it hangs at "Starting periodic command scheduler crond [OK]" [19:17] ext4 is presenting some issues... anybody using it ? [19:18] and the _ doesn't blink but I can type into it [19:18] ZykoticK9: already done, and moved the old /usr to /usr~ while I do some testing [19:18] !ask [19:18] 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. :-) [19:18] * Penfold hrms. Any suggestions why my ssh connection to my ubuntu box should periodically stall for 10-20 secs?

[19:19] I got my CD to start in Vbox but it hangs at "Starting periodic command scheduler crond [OK]" [19:20] whoops [19:20] ZykoticK9: the problem I'm finding is that I've been dropped into a shell (as expected on any UNIX machine when /usr is missing), but I can't mount /usr, because it's not creating the device files [19:20] my custom live cd [19:21] alsuren, ? yuck, i gots nothing man. best of luck. [19:21] is there a way to query a ppp connection (3G) to see if it's UMTS or GMTS? [19:21] somebody having problems with ext4 in ubuntu ? [19:21] alsuren, is this all hypothetical?

[19:24] tank-man: I'll check for kernel modules, but I have a sneaking suspicion it's an ACPI issue: [19:25] badcat what is your hardware? [19:25] hi all, how can i set the login screen so that i only have to enter the password, not the username ? the password should still be required [19:25] hola [19:25] quit [19:26] Where should I report a few errors I have found in the Ubuntu Server Guide? One is a grammar error and one is a command output that is outdated. [19:26] tank-man: actually, maybe I'll just resign myself to the fact that restarting is the only solution if the SD card isn't in at boot time [19:26] ghoulsblade, some GDM themes the a Chooser where it shows the usernames and you can click on them [19:26] forward slashes are overrated [19:26] I got my custom built 8.10 live CD to start in Vbox but it hangs at "Starting periodic command scheduler crond [OK]" [19:26] badcat: xubuntu variant of ubuntu is best as it loads under lower memory contraints than the regular ubuntu. If you want ubuntu use the alternative iso as that also has a lower memory footprint. [19:26] tank-man: thanks for the suggestion anyway though. [19:26] click [19:26] I would like to install a version of linux on a mmx [19:27] pentium 1 [19:27] 32mb ram [19:27] try linux mandrake [19:27] on that [19:27] hmm, i want to enter the password right away without clicking, i'm trying to switch over from kde. can i use the kdm starter thing maybe ? i don't know how to set it [19:27] radio i sugest DSL [19:27] what sugested me [19:27] it should work just fine [19:27] ? [19:27] dsl or puppylinux are very small distros [19:27] i suggest mandrake :D [19:27] jajaja [19:27] radio: DSL works fine on really old hardware [19:27] dsl = damn small linux, by the way [19:27] any tips? [19:27] had mandrake on a p1 non=mmx [19:27] ran just fine [19:28] radio, 32MB ram is your major issue, DLS or Puppy are basically your only options [19:28] I install this but drivers not supported [19:28] I got my custom built 8.10 live CD to start in Vbox but it hangs at "Starting periodic command scheduler crond [OK]" any idea what I need to do? [19:28] radio: vector linux is a beatiful distro, but it needs some more power of hard... [19:28] alienkid10, so something is wrong with you "custom built" cd - can you try the origional cd instead?

[19:29] ok [19:29] alienkid10: yeah, try the original disc first [19:29] ok just thinking any of you knew what that meant [19:29] errr radio, sorry [19:29] audio [19:29] where do I get python2.4-dbus from? [19:29] audio is not supported by dsl [19:29] are you using onboard audio or ? [19:29] in a mmx [19:29] no [19:30] somebody had problem with 9.04 and EXT4 ? [19:30] alienkid10, it's actually whatever comes after the output you're giving as Cron ends with OK... [19:30] ZykoticK9: what? [19:31] alienkid10, you stated "Starting periodic command scheduler crond [OK]" which tells us the crond started fine... [19:31] click_: try, "sudo apt-get install python-dbus" in a shell. [19:31] yes [19:31] What is the package name for iPod support on jaunty?

[20:12] erUSUL I'll checket out [20:12] thank you very :D much [20:12] check it === Dragnslicer is now known as Dragnslcr [20:12] yall [20:12] midnajt: ok good luck [20:13] is there some advanced way to edit more program config stuff that is usually hidden ? some regedit like thingy or something ? some option dialogs in gnome seem rather restrictive =( [20:13] ghoulsblade, gconf-editor [20:13] jdu, ah thanks, i'll take a look at that =D [20:14] ghoulsblade: gnomwe has gconf [20:14] ghoulsblade: use gconf-editor [20:14] anyone know how to export a list of podcasts from banshee? [20:15] ghoulsblade, gnome generally provides less easy configuration in an effort to be simple [20:15] (unrelated to gconf) , under system menu > preferences > the sound thing doesn't start for me, it doesn't display an error either [20:15] erUSUL : as I though, it don't works... vesafb is loading in the kernel modules but still no /dev/fb* [20:16] Dunge: then i dunno sorry :| [20:16] Dunge: what graphic card does vmware emulates ? [20:16] jdu, yeah, but i want to change a few things so i'm comfortable using it. i hope it's simple and yet configurable enough if i dig deep enough for config stuff. [20:16] mathijs: did you do a md5 chksum on the iso before burning it? [20:17] yes dakam [20:17] trying to figure out why my BCM4328 is getting seen in Ubuntu as a "USB Mouse" ? [20:18] does anyone know why when i plug the USB to record my guitar i can't chose the USB in pulseaudio device chooser? [20:19] it could be an error in the RAM, you could run memtest off the live cd [20:19] erUSUL : don't know [20:19] or it could be an error in the live cd, try burning it again at the slowest setting [20:19] already burned 4 on the lowest speed(8x), gonna do the ram check then [20:20] erUSUL: thx for your help. I dont understand what do you want to tell me ;) [20:20] Can I make those gray notifications go away permanently for pidgin, etc? I only want them for new system messages [20:20] why is it that under gnome-do preferences i dont have any plugins even when i refresh? [20:20] how many ram modules are you using [20:20] Orange_v_Blue: disable the pidgin notifications [20:21] update-notifier-core / update-motd - should that show "0 packages can be updated" in motd or nothing in motd? [20:21] im using 3 modules atm [20:21] sizes? [20:21] Can someone help me with the ubuntu kernel with regards to ipblocker please [20:21] danielrmt: They are. These are coming through somewhere else, from pidgin. I'm not sure [20:21] look under pidgin plugins. there's a notification plugin i guess [20:22] can some one answer -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1173315 [20:22] Lopan`: ipblocker [20:22] ? [20:22] erUSUL: Without the Dbus session i read from the file gconftool won't change anything for the user $SUDO_USER which is the person who is calling the script (with sudo) [20:22] im not shure, but i believe there is 1 265 mb and the other 2 are 128 mb. all sd ram(old ram) [20:22] why is it that under gnome-do preferences i dont have any plugins even when i refresh? [20:23] i'd suggest installing with 1 ram module [20:23] danielrmt: never would have thought of a plugin, thanks! [20:23] and see how that works for you [20:23] erusul: hey, i am installing ipblocker and am meeting all of the outlined criteria but it says the kernel must have "CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NFQUEUE" enabled. I dont know how to do it [20:23] annika: but the second argument to sudo should be a VAR=something not just something; or am i mistaken ? [20:23] going to try then(again, 10th time today :P ) [20:23] Does anyone know why i can't choose the USB in pulseaudio device chooser? I wanna record my guitar into the laptop using audacity [20:24] well it could be faulty cd disk or drive, or faulty hd or ram modules [20:24] Anyone use touchfreeze? [20:24] could be, brb =] [20:24] Lopan`: grep CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NFQUEUE /boot/config-2.6.28-12-generic --> CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_NFQUEUE=m ||| so it is enabled on the ubuntu kernel. you do not have to do anything [20:24] hi [20:24] Can somebody point me to an ubuntu mirror which has still gutsy available? [20:25] !gutsy | Dunedan [20:25] Dunge: old-releases.ubuntu.com [20:25] Dunedan: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) was the seventh release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 18th, 2009. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [20:25] hello I do have a very stupid Q ... lol .. whats the command for reinstalling a package ? lol [20:25] erUSUL: thank you very much, new to this obviously. have a great weekend man [20:25] Does anyone know why i can't choose the USB in pulseaudio device chooser? I wanna record my guitar into the laptop using audacity [20:25] DanDan: sudo apt-get reinstall [20:26] danielrmt : its gives me that its an invalid process :S [20:26] DanDan: sudo aptitude reinstall [20:26] shortguy: usb mode settings [20:26] DanDan: apt-get has no reinstall, sorry [20:26] erUSUL: the Syntax is: sudo -u command [20:26] dakarn, where's that at? :o [20:26] danielrmt: sudo apt-get install --reinstall [20:26] !usb mode [20:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about usb mode [20:26] Pici: thx [20:26] danielrmt: Well, that's no answer to my question. I'm aware that gutsy reached it's eol, but maybe there still a mirror online? [20:27] danielrmt : thanxx !!! [20:27] meh, you'll have to change the usb mode with the guitar connected via command line [20:27] Does anyone have a good program for not accidentally hittting the touchpad while typing? I know it's silly, or fixed with a real mouse, but I spend a lot of time on the move and that isn't feasible. Touchfreeze slightly sucks for me. [20:27] also select it as a recording device [20:27] dakarn, okay i'll try that thanks [20:27] Orange_v_Blue: have you tried holding your wrists off the keyboard? [20:28] dakarn, do i type !usb mode into the terminal? whenever i've it in? [20:28] why is it that under gnome-do preferences i dont have any plugins even when i rwefresh? [20:28] annika: but you passed two args quote "sudo -u $SUDO_USER $DBUS_SESSION ..." $DBUS_SESSION is the second arg [20:28] anyone know how to export a list of podcasts from banshee? [20:28] m4rk: thanks, but that doesn't really help too much. the touchpad is very far to the left... it's inevitable. Also, painful to keep them in midair all the time. [20:29] Orange_v_Blue: what sort of computer is it? [20:29] !grub [20:29] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [20:29] erUSUL : sorry for late response, but why are you giving me that link? [20:29] dakarn, do u know what i have to type in to change the usb mode? :o [20:29] m4rk: acre aspire 3650 [20:30] Dunge: was a mistake ; sorry. [20:30] kk [20:31] danielrmt: A hint to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ would have been what I searched ...

[21:20] sorry, kubuntu [21:20] ooooooooooooh [21:20] lol [21:21] What does a DAC blocked error mean? [21:21] FuriousGeorge: one sec, let me see if i can find a screenshot of the kubuntu printer dialog box ;-) [21:21] anyone know how to query the ppp connection log to see if i'm connected GPRS or UMTS? [21:22] maccam94: there is a tab at the bottom that says properties. when you select a printer at the top then you can go to the properties tab [21:22] Jaunty2: do you have a link for that? [21:22] ciao [21:22] dakarn: pppd logs to syslog iirc... /var/log/syslog [21:22] does anyone use xfce? [21:22] yes one momenyt [21:22] Please point me where can I find audio device settings in amarok 2.0.2 under jaunty ubuntu on gnome [21:22] cerco film [21:22] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mac+OSX+Leopard+10.5+Full+pack?content=72425 [21:23] maccam94: then along the left side i can select "driver" and "change" the properties for the driver, but i am presented with the same makes and models as earlier [21:23] FuriousGeorge: is there an option to download a driver? [21:23] sono nuovo [21:23] Well [21:23] maccam94: i dunno, it seems to be working with the foomatic driver for the 7130, it only needs to work till monday... maybe ill see how this goes [21:23] ciao [21:23] does the one shipped of default work? [21:23] FuriousGeorge: k, sorry for the confusion [21:24] maccam94: no otpion to download, but i can manually download one and try to open it [21:24] erUSUL: is there a way to query the connection? because it doesn't show me the connection type [21:24] FuriousGeorge: no that wouldn't work ;-) the point of doing it in the app is that it would then install and use that driver [21:24] dakarn: i dunno sorry [21:24] please, how can i see local drives on "places" when using xfce [21:25] maccam94: thanks for your help. lemme see how this goes [21:25] It appears that my software is not detecting all my audio devices [21:25] jaunty2: i have not tried installing this theme, but at a glance it looks to be outdated. have you tried the (even more outdated) tutorial? http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac [21:25] How can this be fixed [21:25] FuriousGeorge: good luck [21:25] yeh i just tried it and failed at first step [21:26] pockets: you might try #xubuntu since xfce is the default window manager there. I don't know xfce enough myself [21:26] crawler , have u any working theme i can try to install? [21:26] Wow [21:26] morning guys, my indicator applet is gone. the one that gives me notification for pidgin. is there a way to get it back ?

Ive recently updated to ubuntu Jaunty and got flashplugin-nonfree broken !! and I TRIED EVERYTHINGG to fix/remove/reinstall anything u can imagine .. and nothing seems to work :( !! [21:27] and they said its been fixed [21:27] anybodu knows how to mount braseros .toc and .bin files? [21:27] MeanGuy: You mean tray or? [21:27] Dakarn: By using PD i've confirmed that my device is properly connected and functional. However it seems that no other software can detect it. [21:27] Silver_Swords: convert it to iso [21:27] del_diablo, yeah. the one that looks like a letter with a star whenever i get a pidgin msg [21:28] !iso | Silver_Swords [21:28] Silver_Swords: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [21:28] i have a problem with flash objects, i can't listen anysound and anymusic from youtube for example, what can i do to fix it?

[21:28] MeanGuy, what about rightclicking on the pidgin icon and se if someting similar to "blink upon new messages" is checked? [21:28] good evening. Quick "good practices" question. what is the "proper" place to keep sources and accessory files of applications you compile yourself? All userspace stuff, I think it's better to keep it off system directories... [21:28] DanDan: sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree [21:29] harpreet_: it's flashplugin-nonfree and he said he already had it [21:29] DanDan, dunno. try --fore removing it or something [21:29] del_diablo, one sec. [21:29] a nice thing: sudo apt-get install iat [21:29] its used for converting formats, like .bin ---> .iso as an example. [21:29] harpreet_ package isnt there .. its nly flashplugin [21:29] ikonia: DanDan : then he has to remove swfdec from synaptic [21:29] MeanGuy : tried it .. nothing works [21:30] that won't change anything as the actual flash library is not really controled by the package manager [21:30] DanDan: enable your multiverse and universe repositories first [21:30] I've installed a new audio device(line tuneport gx via the line6usb kernel module drivers). None of my programs except pd(which converts that it is working properly) will detect it. [21:30] ikonia : .. I'm a SHE lol not He [21:30] erUSUL: i guess i kinda was hoping for a 3d cad program [21:30] he needs to enable his restricted drivers too [21:30] harpreet : Im a SHE not He .. plus its all enabled ! [21:30] DanDan: do you have the deb file for flash that you want to install?

Or i would mark the compiled maps as . before their name(so its hidden) [21:31] DanDan: sudo sed -i -e "s/# deb/deb/g" /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update [21:31] lyth: under alsamixer does it show the device? [21:31] ok now im confused too many ppl have asked me to do stuff .. who shall i follow 1st ? [21:31] yup [21:31] ZykoticK9: so something like /usr/local/dev or opt/dev would do?

[21:32] erUSUL: i have been. not a lot. [21:32] I'm not. I looked in the settings of my software. None will even detect the existence of my device.

I'm a Jaunty user .. [21:33] MeanGuy, just thinking out loud here........... but what about adding a tray somewhere in your area? Just to se if Pidgin blinks over there? [21:33] Venom010: like what? How are you trying to join them? [21:33] ZykoticK9: k, thanks. I was wondering if there was some sort of unspoken standard [21:33] lyth: lshw might list the hardware error?

[21:37] Silver_Swords, i'd check out bin2iso, but FYI i have had little or no success with that conversion - was this a regular data CD? or something else - as ISO doesn't allow for all types of CD images. [21:37] gparted [21:37] Silver_Swords, brasero is just a frontend to the mount command i mean to remember [21:38] emperor : ..

[21:46] hey guys [21:46] how to check x.org version:? [21:46] please [21:46] hi i have a general linux question [21:46] freenode1: there is but it depends on the software, and how multilib it is [21:46] emperor : flashplugin u mean ? .. in synaptic ? .. I cant click on it i can only click on remove or comp remove [21:46] JohnnyVbox: dpkg -l | grep X - or xorg -version [21:46] [ikonia]: thanks [21:46] can KDE apps work in GNOME [21:46] does anyone know why ubuntu's VNC client is so slow when I connect to my ubuntu machine at home? it's unbearably slow when using vncviewer or remote desktop viewer. using a windows xp vnc client (real vnc) in the same remote location works extremely fast, so it's not a bandwidth issue. [21:46] MacTuts: yup [21:46] MacTuts: yes [21:46] JohnnyVbox, Ubuntu 9.04 = 1.6 [21:47] MacTuts: you have to install the graphical tool kit - but it works fine [21:47] DanDan: swfdec is the package that runs flash [21:47] i would like to install dexrex....a pidgin plugins [21:47] ok... thanx all for help. =) [21:47] JohnnyVbox, or "X -version" in cli [21:47] Okay, I have a question [21:47] ok thanks so there is no drawback to running a KDE app? [21:47] [del_diablo]: ok, thanks [21:47] thanks people [21:47] emperor : even on that I cant mark for reinstalling [21:47] freenode1: that may respond differently due to it being a plugin, I'd expect the plugin to possibly not be arch dependant [21:47] I am about to format my drive, but I want to backup my Ubuntu installation exactly. (Programs, GUI config, fonts, etc.) [21:47] How would I do this? [21:47] because im in ubuntu 9.04 and Konversation seems to work fine [21:47] anyone? :( [21:47] campee: anyone what ? [21:47] Can I just copy my partition to my external then reload it formatting [21:47] is a plugin but is a program [21:48] is a deb and is only for i386 [21:48] ok thank you everyone! [21:48] bye [21:48] an answer to my question.. or some thoughts =) [21:48] codyxx, you can do that with atleast your home partition [21:48] DanDan: sudo apt-get autoremove swfdec === administrator is now known as No_CQRT [21:48] Does anyone know why i only get static sound whenever i try to record my guitar in Jack Audio Connection Kit? [21:48] freenode1: pidgin is 64 bit, so I don't think it will take a 32bit library, if it's not a library I think it will be fine [21:48] MacTuts: running a KDE based app under GNOME will use more memory [21:48] ikonia: does anyone know why ubuntu's VNC client is so slow when I connect to my ubuntu machine at home? it's unbearably slow when using vncviewer or remote desktop viewer. using a windows xp vnc client (real vnc) in the same remote location works extremely fast, so it's not a bandwidth issue. [21:48] Okay, but could I backup all of my programs, usr folders, etc. [21:48] DanDan: before thinking about making it work, you'll have to completely remove it first to start fresh [21:48] I'm done a lot of tweaking, and I'd hate to lose it all [21:49] Especially with themes and such [21:49] !gg ubuntu backup [21:49] campee: client/server incompatabilty, protocol config differences ? [21:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:49] emperor : the output says E: couldnt find package swfdec [21:49] codyxx, depends on what reason you got for reinstalling [21:49] i also experience the same issue when i try to use vnc to connect to my parent's computer. the issue appears from different computers all running ubuntu. [21:49] windows real vnc works perfect though :/ [21:49] emperor : .. maybe autoremove ( gstreamer ) ? since its the only one installed ? [21:49] i am using "vino", the built-in server for ubuntu [21:49] Its kind of a long story that I'd rather not get into, but I would also like to do it so as to load my installation onto other people's computers that I install Ubuntu on. [21:49] Does anyone know why i only get static sound whenever i try to record my guitar in Jack Audio Connection Kit? [21:49] DanDan: you can try that [21:50] So they would not have to go through the hassle [21:50] and i'm using ubuntu's built-in vnc client [21:50] DanDan: if swfdec is not installed , install it [21:50] so it is hard to believe that it is an incompat issue [21:50] campee: I'm not sure what vnc client ubuntu uses by default.. but try installing one of the ones available from the repos.. [21:50] campee: not really, it can be incompatible depending on configuration [21:50] codyxx: use tar and gzip or bzip2 to backup all your stuff [21:51] campee: vnc isn't a set standard.. there are many addons and extra features... some are only available on some clients with some servers etc.. [21:51] emperor : this is gona take a long time ... and I think it wont work as it will still auto upgrade or install flashplugin-nonfree .. and I get the feeling ill get the same error msg :| lol [21:51] campee: they will all have a common base.. but it's quite possible that the base is pretty slow [21:51] i avehn't configured anything.. [21:51] haven't* [21:51] i'm running these apps in their default config [21:51] DanDan: we can try, it wont take long to install the package [21:51] ikonia: but you can see yourself if you download the dexrex program is only for i386 [21:51] how can i do? [21:52] campee: I use xtightvncviewer on Ubuntu to go to a Mac, my options are: xtightvncviewer -bgr233 -quality 0 -compresslevel 0 -encodings zlib -nocursorshape localhost:0 [21:52] there are no updates for ubuntu since two weeks, is ubuntu bankrupt? [21:52] Anyone know why kdevelop 3.9.91 only allow QT4 projects creation (no autotool project anymore), please. [21:52] campee: if you knock the color depth down it will go a lot faster [21:52] are you going over the internet? [21:52] emperor .. lol :( !!! .. same error !! [21:52] icqn: nope.. it's just perfect now.. no need for any more updates.. ever... ;) [21:52] Okay, if I were to make an image file of my system. How would I restore it? [21:52] i'm going through an ssh tunnel. but like i said, it works perfectly fine in windows.. [21:53] campee: yeah from an ADSL connection at work to a cable one at home, it's usable if I knock the quality down with those options, otherwise very slow [21:53] i have 100K/s upload speed :) [21:53] Does anyone know why i only get static sound whenever i try to record my guitar in Jack Audio Connection Kit? [21:53] campee: me too, ssh tunnel, my ssh options are ssh -C -c blowfish [21:53] A question, do i need to download the kernel devel files or are they already in the ubuntu 9.04 700mb iso? [21:53] total newbie question; to send a highlighted message to someone how do i do that? [21:53] codyxx: create a partition of sufficient size with gparted from Live CD then extract with tar again [21:54] icqn: but.. on a more serious note.. I'm not sure if I've seen any updates for a while here either.. might just be that there hasn't been any.. you can try switching mirrors to see if the one you're using has stopped updating for some reason [21:54] campee: it's not so much a bandwidth issue as it is latency; my ping to home is ~35 ms [21:54] DanDan: try logging in with su [21:54] is there a server crashlog or something? how can i tell why my server crashed?

I will try to be more careful in the future [21:57] chaos2fu: =) [21:57] casper all the same [21:58] ZykoticK9, yea... heh, sorry... but I'm looking for more in depth coverage.. idle time is good... what about applications? applications currently using for example [21:58] darlek: but its not just me right? there has been a lot fewer updates than normal === circulox is now known as SirDerigo [21:58] CaptainMorgan, i think that's under the WHAT heading [21:58] Slart, are you developer?

[21:59] ZykoticK9, aye... x-session-manager is indeed very vague and obscure... I'm sure there are other programs they're using... for example, I took a look at ps -aux ... [22:00] linuxghost: is that the ubuntu installer you are looking at, or are you actually running gparted? [22:00] linuxghost: you can only increase it if you have unallocated space free [22:00] Slart, i am thinking to switch to another distro [22:00] JonyBlaze: of course ath5k blows so I still use madwifi, so there are development trees I'd like to see that I never do as well [22:00] CaptainMorgan, each line shows a different command that is currently running [22:00] Rhythmbox cant play iTunes daap shares, help [22:00] im actually using live session user [22:00] ubuntu [22:00] icqn: do you have a question you want to ask?

For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [22:38] flintwingel:how do I invoke tightvnc...i installed it from synaptic package manager...now I can't find it. [22:38] Joeseph, grub lives in the MBR of the drive - so there is no Partition required for it [22:38] Joeseph: It'd be better if you didn't 'dual boot' Kubuntu and Ubuntu, just have them both installed on the same install, like jrib mentioned. [22:39] I need help with the EULA on WoW [22:39] jrib: I know I don't 'need' two separate installations, but last time that I had two desktop environments, it caused me a few problems.

What are the XF86Audio keyboard shortcuts? [22:40] I have the newest version of wine 1.0.1 but I get to the end of the ULA and accept won't come up and I have no idea on how to fix it [22:40] Joeseph: I can't really answer that when you I don't know what they are :) [22:40] can anyone help me troubleshoot google desktop? i always get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server" [22:41] jrib: Alright. I suppose I can just get rid of it with 'sudo apt-get remove -purge kde' if I don't like it... correct? [22:41] i've tried with firewall off, i've tried reinstalling it... [22:41] i need help [22:41] What are the actual keystrokes used by XF86audio? [22:41] i am getting a message [22:41] Joeseph, what Flannel and jrib are saying is so true, but if you want to try different distros it's certainly possible to multi-boot as many linux/bsd/windows os's as you want with grub -- and all the linux's can use a common swap partition - have fun. [22:41] JohnnyVbox: use aptitude to install and purge, sure [22:41] [jrib]: Cannot make a visible window modal. [22:41] [jrib]: on Wine [22:41] JohnnyVbox: eh?

I'll probably try kde on ubuntu, and maybe I'll try Fedora another day. [22:42] [jrib]: no, this is wine related [22:42] [jrib]: i NEED to kill wine's process [22:42] [jrib]: what do i do?

[22:45] chiques: any hints in the bios ? [22:45] If I'm trying to upgrade my partition (with my system on it) to ext4, would the best way be to copy it to another partition, reformat the original one, and then copy it back?

How can this be? [22:47] Anyone use fluxbox? How do you change volume via keyboard?

[22:49] Whenever sounds/audio streams it keeps looping the VERY start of the sound, how could i fix this? [22:49] zenxr: I;ve seen people use XF86audio - don't know what the keystrokes are, etc. [22:49] anyone here have a fix for the low sound quality and crackling in the left speaker/headphone issue on macs? [22:50] Orange_v_Blue, a tar.gz is just a compressed file of some sort - typically this means source code - once you've uncompressed everything go into the directory and see if they have an INSTALL or readme type file - the most straight forward case will be to run the commands " .configure && make && sudo make install " - best of luck. [22:50] help [22:50] i am getting tons of errors with wine [22:50] Orange_v_Blue, cd there and use tar -zxvf to unpack it, then there will be instructions usually in the new directory [22:50] Find a better vinyard :D [22:50] linux_, have you tried sudo alsamixer ?

[23:36] does anyone how can i make an exponecial fitting from a data table? at gnuplot or grace [23:36] raylu: [23:36] je||y: well...the line is entirely truthful [23:36] Artelus, won't affect grub or ubuntu at all using MS's System Restore [23:36] artelus: I don't think it would but the most it could possibly do is mess up grub.. which you can reinstall form a live cd [23:36] Artelus: It shouldn't touch your Ubuntu installation, but might overwrite GRUB. If it does, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub will fix that. [23:37] pedrinhobrito, um ? english please.. (j/k) [23:37] raylu: could the package owners be installing malware on my computer? [23:37] Alright, thanks guys. :) [23:37] pedrinhobrito: i know gnuplot can; consult the exact syntax in gnuplot documentation [23:37] Artelus, it will consider the MBR is corrupted and will overwrite it, but the ubuntu instalation won't be touched. you can start from a livecd and reconfig grub [23:37] SeaPhor: he has some data points and he wants to draw a line of best fit [23:37] je||y: yes [23:37] Artelus: I was going to point out that MS tends to assume it's like the highlander (can be only one) - and you may need to fix grub afterwards. [23:37] je||y: but that is very unlikely [23:38] So your just bashing against VLC [23:38] erUSUL, i didn't find the documentation very useful. i know it can do so, but i didn't find the right command :( [23:38] t3hp00ky: no, i'm bashing gui apps in general [23:38] Artelus: However for quickening - you can't go wrong with linux [23:38] hey my mouse hasn't worked ever since this bluetooth update. what the hecks going on?????? [23:38] What player do you prefer and VLC is more than a GUI app [23:39] pedrinhobrito: iirc it is fit [23:39] t3hp00ky: ..i'm aware. and mplayer [23:40] pedrinhobrito: http://www.gnuplot.info/docs/node82.html#1541 [23:41] my mouse hasn't worked ever since the bluetooth update. what the hecks going on?????? anyone? [23:42] Hie!!! Buddies [23:42] HIE? de! | opennick [23:42] de! | opennick [23:43] can somebody tell me, if i can use Ubuntu Official Logo on my Website [23:43] opennick: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place for that (and we'll need some more information) [23:44] I have a wireless and wired connection in my Ubuntu PC. How do I tell Ubuntu to make the wired the first preference. Wireless is now. [23:44] opennick, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official [23:45] Thank a lot ZykoticK9 [23:46] opennick: You may or may not be legally allowed to do so. Depends on what you're planning on doing with it. [23:46] yapp [23:46] hi, could someone help me http://pastebin.com/m2b335533 [23:46] I opened jockey-gtk and it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [23:47] opennick: As I said, if you come to #ubuntu-offtopic, we can help you more. [23:47] Flannel : can i follow the channel recommended by you for rest ? [23:47] ok sure [23:47] Flannel : Thanks a lot [23:48] hello, I need some help with certain aspects of running my newly installed Ubunutu [23:48] can any one be for help? [23:49] !ask | aoglobalent [23:49] aoglobalent: 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. :-) [23:50] o.k., I just installed Ubuntu on my box, i.e. IBM Thinkpad t500. I have installed wine as well as compiz. Wine is not allowing me to install certain MS software? Secondly, I did everything I was told regarding compiz and that does not work either? === ___mikem is now known as __mikem [23:52] aoglobalent, regarding wine did you check the applications your going to run at http://appdb.winehq.org/appbrowse.php ? this is a great resource for running things under wine. [23:52] I have a question about module cofig settings... [23:52] aoglobalent, but try to look for native linux applications as soon as you can :) [23:53] if I have more than the one card of the same type, if I setup options in the options file, does it work for all the cards? [23:53] Compiz? [23:53] aoglobalent: system-->preferences-->appearance--->visual effects tab ---> set something other than none. It requires hardware acceleration [23:53] when i edit the .bashrc file, do the changes take effect upon saving the changes, or do i have to do something to apply them [23:53] meatball_: type in source .bashrc [23:53] meatball_: source the file to make it affect the current shell [23:54] meatball_, bust type bash again :) [23:54] holaaa [23:54] alquien habla español? [23:54] meatball_: or close it and open it again [23:54] !es | ariel [23:54] ariel: 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. [23:54] source is better though [23:54] !es | ariel [23:54] aoglobalent, try #winehq for the wine issues,,, [23:55] did the change in preferences [23:55] can someone please tell me what buttons to use to switch from virtual box back to ubuntu? [23:55] nothing happened [23:55] ? [23:55] nixn00b: the right Ctrl key + F, I think. If that doesn't work, it's something other than "F"... [23:55] has anyone here linked java to mysql on ubuntu before? [23:56] Hello all [23:56] aoglobalent, did it say that compiz couldn't be enabled? if you set it to extra - do you windows wobble ? [23:56] gabriel [23:56] Hablas Español? [23:56] Hello all. Can anyone help me with ubuntu installation? I already have 3 primary partitions. So I want to create an extended one and to create swap, root, and home there. How can I achieve this? [23:56] ariel: entra en el canal #ubuntu-es [23:56] yes they wobble [23:56] hi, i am looking for a good auth-client-config with support for ldap authentication, caching [23:56] no it did not say it could not be enabled [23:56] custom_: You can do that using the "Manual Partitioning" option in the Ubuntu installer. [23:56] custom_: I do it in partition editor, then finnish off in manual install [23:56] aoglobalent, then compiz is working :) [23:56] aoglobalent: is your video card capable? May need to get the restricted drivers for it. If you selected extra setting, and it stuck, restart X and see if you can get it going then [23:57] hi [23:57] pero no me parece. el canal ese :s [23:57] o.k., then why is the cube not working [23:57] ? [23:57] ariel: /join #ubuntu-es [23:57] aoglobalent, you need ccsm to enable cube and spin cube [23:57] hallo [23:57] ccsm? [23:57] ariel: escribe /join #ubuntu-es y dale enter [23:57] !info ccsm [23:57] Package ccsm does not exist in jaunty [23:58] ok [23:58] !find ccsm [23:58] Found: simple-ccsm [23:58] Does anyone know why my panels in gnome desktop will not load automatically? I have to use the alt-f2 run box to bring up terminal and type in gnome-panel then i don't get any window frames [23:58] !ccsm [23:58] hello peoploblow [23:58] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [23:58] sebsebseb, it's compiz-setting-manager or some such thing [23:58] ZykoticK9: yep [23:59] aoglobalent, try sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [23:59] why will amarok 2 not play any of my music?
